I wasn't even there 20 mins I teched in and lined up for the first practice run of the day to see where I would be running at. Got alot wheel hop off the line shifted good into second and then at third it felt soft. I knew something was wrong my trap speed was low. Then when I tried to turn off the track BANG! BOOM! CHIRP! when turning. Blew the axles seals out on the drivers side. Sprayed tranny fluid on the track right at where I shifted into 3rd. This was also a week after getting my cam gears dyno tuned. I gained power everywhere! I thought I'd never drive this car again. I was going to trade it in on a mazdaspeed3 or 6 but that never happened so 3 months later threw another tranny it.
The motor never blew but the PO (previous owner) never tq'd the crank pulley down tight enough and that backed out after about 10kmi and was wobbling on the end of the crank. The stock one also acts as a harmonic dampener to help quell vibrations out. Since this was wobbling it must have caused a bad vibration and made it start knocking on cyl. #3.
. Or that's my theory at least. I know the car was heavily abused before I got it. The issue with the motor was before the tran ny blew. I also run pretty good times for what I have too
. Of course this could be driver related
So far the car now has 159,000 mi on it I bought with 52,000mi on it. It's had a rough life but still runs strong which hopefully we will see at the next meet.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left

That looks great man! I'm actually a bit envious. That's the one thing I would do different about our stonework, I would come off of the wall like yours. If I failed to tell you that in our previous conversations I apologize. Good job Cannon, looks oddly familiar.

I love decorating for fall...I love the colors, flowers, pumpkins and even the smells that fall brings. My kids enjoy the caramel apples and fall festivities.
I was feeling crafty last week and decided to see what kind of fall decor I could whip up with what I had here at home. I rummaged around in our shed and came back with some wood that would be perfect for some small decorative signs.
This is what I started with
Once the paint dried I brushed on some white
I wrote out my wording in chalk before painting in case I made a mistake
I used a small paintbrush to hand paint on the words
Since I had two pieces of wood I decided to go ahead and make a winter sign as well
I'm still working on my fall decorating and I can't wait to share everything with you when I'm finished!
linking up this week to...

I feel so bad because miss Lily gets so upset when i'm on the computer. She wants attention 24/7 and I can't give it to her.You'd think 7-8 hours a day would be good but not for her. I don't know what to do, I guess i'll have to be on the computer less because what Lily wants Lily gets!

Life Groups are small communities of faith where the gospel is lived out intentionally. They are places where members meet weekly for study, worship and prayer, and interact daily in caring, sharing, service and recreation. Life Groups are where the body of Christ becomes manifest as a living and life-giving organism in neighborhoods all over greater Philadelphia.
Primary Goals for Life Groups:
1. Become a place where every member can grow in Christ through a healthy community, and;
2. Be a place where people who do not yet know Jesus can be introduced to him through the witness of the community through word and deed.
These goals are accomplished by insuring that the groups are gospel-centered, community-building, and missionally engaged. The plain implication of this is that every member will be stretched to live out the Gospel intentionally as they are nurtured and challenged in a community of growing disciples.

NEW CANAAN, Conn. -- New Canaan police have charged a 39-year-old man and his 63-year-old mother-in-law after an alleged fight between the two on Saturday, July 5, according to the New Canaan News.
Gocha Kurtsikashvili and his mother-in-law, Nanuli Guguchia, were both charged after she was accused of slapping him in the face following a verbal disagreement. Kurtsikashvili was accused of then becoming physically violent as well, the New Canaan News reported.
When police arrived both parties showed signs of a physical altercation. Kurtsikashvili was released on $10,000 bail and Guguchia was released on her own recognizance, the New Canaan News said.

This past Saturday, I got an opportunity to attend the wedding of my good friend Michelle. Not only was this my first time ever attending a wedding, it was very special because I was among my friends and we were all there to support Michelle and share that wonderful moment with her.
To see couples happy and in love makes me feel so warm inside (mushy, right?). Love is so beautiful. It isn't always perfect or without problems, but love manages to endure it all.
Michelle was a beautiful bride and I was very happy to have had the opportunity to witness her and Chris become husband and wife. I wish them a blessed and happy marriage.
Jhermi accompanied me to the wedding and we sat and talked about what our wedding day would be like as we waited for the ceremony to start. What they say about all the women who attend weddings is true. You can't help but to feel all lovey dovey and mushy as and when you watch another couple exchange vows.
Everyone may not want to get married, but no one wants to be alone. Dating around and casual bad word with every person you meet is going to get old one day, just ask any older person you meet.

Zoe not eating so great until I fed her raw today
Zoe who I just brought home on Sunday hasn't really been eating too well. I had Blue Buffalo large breed puppy grain free food. I also bought some cans of the same. Anyways, the vet had said yesterday (Mon) that she was a little bit on the light side, but nothing to worry about.
However, both Sunday, Mon, and this morning, she hardly touched her food.
That is when I started "boning up" on the raw food forum here.
Had my hubby run out and get some chicken thighs and folks, we have a new puppy! She LOVES it. She is so funny tonight running around being silly tossing things in the air then pouncing on them. MUCH more energy.
I am now going to run out and get the necks.
She also has not pooped at all since she ate at 1 pm and then again 40 minutes ago. Am I to expect lesser amounts of stools, or an explosion soon?
I will be reading and reading about all of this, but need to know some info really quick before running to the grocery store.
I know it should be 10% of her weight that is fed. How long on the necks, backs and thighs before progressing to green tripe, organ meats, etc? Or do I get that now?
Thighs are pretty heavy bones to start with. Backs and necks are a better first choice, I think. You may see an explosion soon, maybe not, but keep an eye on her and don't be surprised to see some undigested bone come out.
Oh no. I read somewhere that thighs were okay with a puppy. I am scared now! The only thing that has not made me terrified after reading this is that she was chewing so well. Nice crunching sounds. She wasn't wolfing it down.
I will watch her closely now. Thanks.
I generally add one thing at a time, starting with chicken backs. Its usually a few days to get regular poops, then I add something. I've never had a problem with tripe, but liver usually means runs. Beef Heart as a muscle meat too.
How old is she?
8 weeks
I cheat Eileen, I'm not comfortable trying to balance a raw diet on a little pup like that and the weeks it may take, so I use a commercial raw like Bravo. Its not too expensive when they're that little and you can switch them easily when they're bigger.
Okay. I will check that out Steve. Thanks!
for a puppy you need more nutrients than just a chicken back a day
you are looking at an unbalanced diet including poor calcium to phosphorus ratio which an cause the puppy to grow wrong
if you are unable to study and balance the diet you should switch to another high quality kibble
at least the nutrients would be correct
i am not a fan of blue buffalo due to poor marketing practices but there are plenty of great kibbles out there to choose from other than that
i personally like wellness and solid gold but have heard great things too about fromm and acana to name a few
both are rated highly on the dog food scale
another great brand is merrick
Eek..I just read that there was a recall last month with Bravo due to Listeria being in the meat?

Still, Mitchell was able to speak with Wisconsin's defensive coordinator, Dave Aranda.
"I talked to the new defensive coordinator and he said he'd get back to me if they had room for a scholarship for football," said Mitchell. "Wisconsin has offered me for track, and they said right now, I would go there for track, and if I still wanted to play football in a couple of years, I could walk on. They have the new staff though, so they're going to get back to me."
Mitchell, though, still enjoyed his time at Wisconsin.
"The campus was really nice and its surrounded by two big lakes," said Mitchell. "I loved the visit. It went really good."
Mitchell has previously visited West Point and will go to Nevada in two weekends.
The biggest decision he'll have to make is if he'll focus on track in college or do both football and track.
"I'm still open for both, it just depends on where I decide to go," said Mitchell. "I want to make a decision by Signing Day, but if it takes a little longer, I'm up for it."

Media Elements
Examination Board: AQA - Specification code: 4200
The course followed in Years 10 and 11 in Art and Design is the AQA GCSE unendorsed examination. Unendorsed means that you are expected to produce work in a range of media. This will include:
1. Painting
2. Drawing
3. Printing
4. Mixed media
5. Photography
6. Textiles
7. Sculpture
8. Ceramics
Coursework comprises 60% of the overall grade, and an externally set assignment is worth 40%. What this effectively means is that all work produced, from the first lesson in Year 10 to the 10 hour exam at the end of Year 11, contributes towards the overall grade. As well as the work done in class pupils are expected to complete further investigations, research and drawings in their own time. There will be at least one preparation piece each week.
The course is broken down into four assessment objectives and evidence must be shown, in the portfolio of work, for all four:
The course allows for an individual response to Art and Design themes. Pupils are expected to do research and show individual initiative. Emphasis is placed upon showing how personal ideas have developed from a starting point to final realisation. Observation drawing is an important skill, as is the ability to make good connections with the work of other artists. There will be visits to galleries and exhibitions both locally and in London/other cities. This should help critical and informed judgements to be made which show sensitivity and aesthetic appreciation.
During the course pupils will gain confidence in various media that suit them and begin to develop a style that best expresses what they want to communicate. It is important to show personal development, improvement and commitment.

"Can't Buy Me Love" is a song composed by Paul McCartney[2] (credited to Lennon–McCartney) and released by the Beatles on the A-side of their sixth British single, "Can't Buy Me Love/You Can't Do That". In September 2015, the Beatles donated the use of their recording of the song to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals for a television commercial.[3]
While in Paris, the Beatles stayed at the five star George V hotel and had an upright piano moved into one of their suites so that song writing could continue.[4] It was here that McCartney wrote "Can't Buy Me Love." The song was written under the pressure of the success achieved by "I Want to Hold Your Hand" which had just reached number one in America. When producer George Martin first heard "Can't Buy Me Love" he felt the song needed changing: "I thought that we really needed a tag for the song's ending, and a tag for the beginning; a kind of intro. So I took the first two lines of the chorus and changed the ending, and said 'Let's just have these lines, and by altering the second phrase we can get back into the verse pretty quickly.'" And they said, "That's not a bad idea, we'll do it that way".[5]
The song's verse is a twelve bar blues in structure, a formula that the Beatles seldom applied to their own material.[6]
"Can't Buy Me Love" was recorded on 29 January 1964 at EMI's Pathe Marconi Studios in Paris, France,[7] where the Beatles were performing 18 days of concerts at the Olympia Theatre. At this time, EMI's West Germany branch, Odeon, insisted that the Beatles would not sell records in any significant numbers in Germany unless they were actually sung in the German language[8] and the Beatles reluctantly agreed to re-record the vocals to "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" prior to them being released in Germany. George Martin travelled to Paris with a newly mastered rhythm track for what was to be "Komm, Gib Mir Deine Hand" ("Come, Give Me your Hand"/"I Want to Hold your Hand"). "Sie Liebt Dich" ("She Loves You") required the Beatles to record a new rhythm track as the original two-track recording had been scrapped.[7] EMI sent a translator to be present for this recording session which had been hurriedly arranged to tie in with the Beatles' Paris commitments. This was accomplished well within the allotted studio time allowing the Beatles an opportunity to record the backing track, with a guide vocal, to the recently composed "Can't Buy Me Love".[8][7] At this stage the song included background vocal harmonies. But after listening to the first take, the band concluded that the song did not need them. Therefore, "Can't Buy Me Love" became the first single the Beatles released without their characteristic background harmonies. McCartney's final vocal was overdubbed at EMI Studios, Abbey Road, London, on 25 February.[9] Also re-recorded on this day at EMI Studios was George Harrison's modified guitar solo, although his original solo can still just be heard in the background. Harrison said: "What happened was, we recorded first in Paris and re-recorded in England. Obviously they'd tried to overdub it, but in those days they only had two tracks, so you can hear the version we put on in London, and in the background you can hear a quieter one."[10] Helen Shapiro, a friend of the Beatles and present at this overdub session, says that Ringo Starr also added extra cymbals "over the top" and that "apparently this was something he did quite often on their records"[11] (Geoff Emerick, tape operator and later the Beatles' recording engineer, credits Norman Smith, the Beatles' then-current engineer, with this overdub).[12] "Can't Buy Me Love" is also the only English-language Beatles track that the Beatles themselves recorded in a studio outside the UK, although the instrumentation of the Beatles' B-side "The Inner Light" was recorded in India by Indian session musicians.
When pressed by American journalists in 1966 to reveal the song's "true" meaning, McCartney stated that, "I think you can put any interpretation you want on anything, but when someone suggests that 'Can't Buy Me Love' is about a prostitute, I draw the line." He went on to say: "The idea behind it was that all these material possessions are all very well, but they won't buy me what I really want."[13] However, he was to comment later: "It should have been 'Can Buy Me Love' " when reflecting on the perks that money and fame had brought him.[9]

Music charts[edit]
US music charts[edit]
The Beatles established four records on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Can't Buy Me Love" at number one:
- Until Billboard began using SoundScan for their charts in 1991, it had the biggest jump to number one: (number twenty-seven to number one; no other single had ever done this).
- It gave the Beatles three consecutive number-one songs ("I Want to Hold Your Hand" was replaced at number one by "She Loves You" which was in turn replaced by "Can't Buy Me Love"). The three songs spent a combined total of 14 consecutive weeks at No. 1. This is the only time an artist had three number ones in a row. The best prior was Elvis, who had two consecutive number ones with "Don't Be Cruel" and "Love Me Tender".[15]
- When "Can't Buy Me Love" reached number one (4 April 1964), the entire top five of the Hot 100 was by the Beatles, the next positions being filled by "Twist and Shout", "She Loves You", "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Please Please Me," respectively. No other act has held the top five spots simultaneously.
- During its second week at number one (11 April 1964), the Beatles had fourteen songs on the Hot 100 at the same time.
The song was the third of seven songs by the Beatles to hit #1 in a one-year period; an all-time record. In order, these were "I Want to Hold Your Hand", "She Loves You", "Can't Buy Me Love", "Love Me Do", "A Hard Day's Night", "I Feel Fine", and "Eight Days a Week". It was also the third of seven songs written by Lennon-McCartney to hit #1 in 1964; that's an all-time record for writing the most songs to hit #1 in the same calendar year. (see List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones)
Rolling Stone ranked "Can't Buy Me Love" at No. 295 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[16] The song spent five consecutive weeks at No. 1. The only Beatles songs to exceed that mark were "I Want to Hold Your Hand" at seven weeks and "Hey Jude" at nine weeks.
UK music charts[edit]
"Can't Buy Me Love" became the Beatles' fourth UK number-one single and their third single to sell over a million copies in the UK. It has sold 1.53 million copies as of November 2012.[17]
The song was also released in the following albums: A Hard Day's Night (both the American United Artists and British Parlophone versions); Big Hits from England and the USA, a various artists compilation album from Capitol issued in 1964; the British-only LP release A Collection of Beatles Oldies; the 1970 compilation Hey Jude (also known as The Beatles Again); the 1973 double disc collection 1962–1966 (the Red Album); the 1982 release Reel Music, which features songs from Beatles films; the 1982 compilation 20 Greatest Hits (both in England and America); and 1, released in November 2000.
Chart performance[edit]
Weekly charts[edit]
Year-end charts[edit]
Cover versions[edit]
Many artists have covered the song. Among the more notable is Ella Fitzgerald's version from her 1964 album Hello, Dolly which was released as a single, a No. 34 hit in the UK chart.
Although not a cover, the Men Without Hats song "Kenbarbielove"'s title is derived from the song. When the band's then-drummer Michel Langevin was 6 years old, he didn't speak English, so he misheard the title of "Can't Buy Me Love" as "Ken Barbie Love" when hearing it for the first time.

A large tree fell along the 600 block of Indiana's Shryock Avenue during a blustery rain shower about 12:35 p.m. Saturday. The tree landed on cars and the side of a house and pulled down a utility line. Company 3 of the Indiana Fire Association was dispatched to help clear away the debris.

SF Now Offers Condom Delivery Service
A San Francisco company is launching a 60-minute-or-less condom delivery service today.
L. Condoms says the service will cost $5, plus the amount of the condoms and will be delivered by a bike messenger.
The condoms are packaged in an unlabeled black box and if you feel the need to be romantic, you can add a bouquet of flowers to the order.
The company says it plans to launch an app in the spring to expand the condom-delivery service to other cities.

South Africa has made tremendous strides over the past two decades in confronting its ethnic and racal divisions, but recent events surrounding the forced resignation of President Thabo Mbeki raise new questions concerning the nation's future. The resignation of Mbeki undoubtedly spared the nation a divisive and bitter conflict over the presidency, but it also revealed a deep seated rift between Zulu and Xhosa leaders. Nelson Mandela is a Xhosa Chief as it Mbeki, but Jacob Zuma, his rival for power, represents Zulu interests. Zuma has been known to promise his supporters that if elected, he will "cleanse the ANC(African National Congress) of Xhosas." Mbeki is gone in a cloud of confusion as to whether or not he ever played a role in trying to bring down Zuma by instituting charges of corruption against his foe.
South Africa is usually described as a nation that still has deep seated conflicts between the white economic rulers of the country and its black majority. However, the Zuma-Mbeki reveals the existence of an equally divisive ethnic rivalry among black leaders. Will the end result be emergence of a new Xhosa-white coalition to confront Zulu leaders? The last thing South Africa needs is for the Xhosa-Zulu rivalry to lead to a black-white conflict.

Discussion in 'TiVo Roamio DVRs' started by speedy2, Aug 25, 2013.
Try turning off your Tuning Adapter. Tivo will tune the HD channels instead of SD for the ch3 fox.
I have them unselected in my channel list and I'm NOT going to turn off my TA and lose all the other channels I'm paying for. My HDHR prime does this tuning fine and I'm not accepting paying this much money for a Jerry rigged system!
Why can't we just get NON NDS cards? The problem around the firmware is that it's old! I've documented that in previous posts. While others have updated the firmware, NDS/Cisco stands still. I hope this works soon.
Certain cable company head ends only work with specific cable card brand(s).
Even if you could obtain a different brand of cable card, it wouldn't do you any good unless your cable company's head end had software that supported it.
Learned that today. Tried to go to Oakland, NJ to get a Cisco card (as someone else suggested in another post...they went to Randolph to get a Cisco card).
Oakland said the only card that works with my system is an NDS card
So, I'm waiting for a fix from/with Cablevision and TiVo.
I was contacted by Cablevision today about my FCC complaint. I mentioned that it was my understanding that cable companies did not have to offer more than 4 working tuners on a cablecard if they were not offering more than 4 tuners to record at once.....but.....since Cablevision now offers up to 10 tuner recordings at once they need to authorize the maximum of 6 tuners on their cards immediately. She was speechless for a good 7 to 10 seconds when I came out with that and just said she'd get back to me within 24 to 48 hours. I have been very polite to all as I know this is a software thing and know it may take some time to fix. I just want this to be at the top of the software fix list, not way at the bottom. We'll see what happens.
Hello Andyf please forgive me if this comes out rude because that is not my intention but, I also live in Houston and have no trouble picking up all 6 tuners. Several other people have stated the same thing to you, I believe you are suffering from a different problem maybe the unit or the card. Either way I would look into other solutions than a cable card firmware, Houston is up to date on the firmware
It is also possible that the problem is with the cable card, but only arises under very specific circumstances, so others aren't seeing it. I'm not saying that is the case, but it is possible. Here's a post where a user describes getting the problem when selecting a very specific channel combination:
Only 5 of 6 tuners work - is that b/c of Mini?
Do I have to wait for the problem to appear to lock out the 6th tuner, and go with 5? Or if I do it when all 6 are working, will it still lock out the correct (faulty) tuner? I ask because I've only seen the problem on a couple of occasions.
I meant to follow up on this last week, but after 3 calls to Charter and a tech coming out, and two calls to TiVo, I found it was the Tuning Adapter. The Charter tech swore up and down that their cards only do two tuners...I asked him to leave since I knew he had no clue what he was talking about.
Resetting the Tuning Adapter gave me all 6 tuners working without any problems.
got my roamio plus today instill wd20eurs 2tb it 317hrs n im on cablevision n all 6 tuning are working i rec 6 ch n its all good thank to everyone on this forume my cable card fimwave ver. vguad 3.0.7_f.p.0501
Give it time
Trust me when I tell you that all 6 will not work for long. You'll find it out when you try to record something you really want to see and it will only be a partial recording. They are supposedly working on it.
oh nice going now i only have 5 working my cablecard is nds m-card from cablevision my say nds s/w ver: 3.92.13 aug 15 2010 20:23:20 no v
No need to post like a text message. Capitalization and punctuation aid readability.
You should only have 4 working with this NDS card from Cablevision. If you're saying 5 you'll see it drop to 4 eventually. Check previous posts from Margaret as to how to drop your box down to 4 tuners (from 6). It's a known problem and they are working on a fix.
You can also file a complaint with FCC. You'll get a call from Cablevision letting you know they are working on it but I figure the more people that file with FCC the higher this goes up on their list of priorities.
Looks like October won't be the month for Comcast Florida updates. So get used to having only 4 tuners on your Roamio Plus and Pro.
Finally got my Comcast PKM801 card updated to 1.5.2_3001. With 1401, I could only get 5 tuners to work. Now with 3001, only 4 tuners work. This is not going in the right direction. My other card, which is a PKM800 running 3001 still has 5 working tuners.
No issue with 4 tuners for a couple of weeks and now I get a ton of channels that say "Channel not available. Contact your cabe provider for more information" WTF. I'm already down to 4 tuners. Unfortunately I think I'm just about done with TiVo. Cable has a crappy box and only 2 tuners (unless I go back to the multi room thing with Cablevision) but at least it works more often than TiVo. I shouldn't have this happen.
Windows media center is your friend! (Or DirecTV)
report from florida....
I live in Sebastian, fl and picked up my Motorola M cable card (FW 6.25) for Comcast in vero beach last Friday to use with my roamio plus. even though the area hasn't updated to the x1 or new guide, the supplied card did make available all 6 tuners on the roamio.
I will point out that the Comcast cable card hotline was responsive and efficient. they made sure to identify the unit as a roamio as opposed to premiere in their system. while some channels didn't show up initially, I did identify the conditional access val as ? instead of V (which indicates that it wasn't fully paired). quickly called back and person helping me identified that original activation had the wrong host id. problem corrected within seconds.
overall, happy to see that Comcast in the florida treasure coast is ready for the roamio.

Nevada Supreme Court rebukes judge for too-harsh treatment of defendant –
The Supreme Court should rebuke Carson City Judge John Tatro by what he did to Ty Robben by retaliating against Robben with a $500,000.00 dollar bail and 22 days in jail for trumped up charges related to serving a subpoena to former NDOT Director Susan Martinovich who had actually committed a "hit and run" by running over Robben's foot!
The Carson City Sheriff covered up the incident and the Sheriff, DA Neil Rombardo and Judge Tatro lashed out at Robben, poisoned his jail food and then sent Nevada "bounty hunters" after Robben in Lake Tahoe, CA. Now Robben has filed criminal charges against the Justin Brothers Bail Bond company, their bounty hunter named Doug Lewis. Robben has a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the Justin Bros and he's filed a Judicial Ethics complaint against the Judge Tatro. Tatro and DA Rombardo continue the relentless retaliation against Robben and are trying to have him incarcerated once again!
Robben is fighting back with massive protests in Carson City Nevada in front of the courthouse and State capital including the Nevada Supreme Court with big signs demanding Judge Tatro and DA Rombardo resign.
The Nevada Supreme Court better clean up the lower courts in Nevada, including the Justice Courts. Most people do not know that a case from the Justice Court can only be appealed to the District Court in most cases, not the Supreme Court. People can suffer serious damage by a deranged Justice Court Judge (as happens in Carson City John Tatro's court) – have no "trial" with a jury and only appeal to the District Court Judge who is as corrupt as the Justice Court Judge… No oversight and people are very, very outraged about the "manifest abuse of desecration" and flagerant abuse of authority by acting under the color of law.
The Supreme Court wants a Nevada appellate court and they want voters to shell out millions of tax dollars to fund the scheme. With the recent D- corruption grade Nevada received by the center for Pubic Integrity in 2012, the Supreme MUST CLEAN UP and remove corrupt judges!
The Supreme Court order can be found here: PEREZ (JUAN) VS. DIST. CT. (STATE)
While the District Court, arguably, could have justified jailing Perez under its
contempt power, it violated these plain rules, It never formally held Perez in contempt.
It did not enter an order detailing the contemptuous behavior or specifying the
punishment. It did not cite Perez for criminal contempt or prove it beyond a reasonable
doubt. Instead, the Court summarily remanded him for displaying attitude and held him
without bail. Then in response to Perez's motion for release or reinstatement of his
previously-posted bail, the Court increased his bail from $3,000,00 to $1,000,000,00
(which is tantamount to no bail given Perez's financial ability), Other than Perez's
alleged attitude, the record reveals no reason to warrant good cause for the increase.
The issue presented here does not simply concern the so-called fine print of
constitutional and statutory provisions on bail.
The deeper issue is guarding our founding principle that this is a government of laws, not of men, Rule of law means the "supremacy of regular power as opposed to arbitrary power." Garner, Bryan A. (Editor in Chief), Black's Law Dictionary, Abridged 9th Edition, p, 1137, (West Publishing Company, 2010). Permitting a court to increase bail based on a defendant's demeanor is the mark of arbitrary power, Allowing it to justify its decision after the fact and under the guise of a defendant's criminal history also exemplifies arbitrary power. Approving this under the court's contempt power but relieving the court of its due process obligations prevents the ability to even review for capricious incarcerations, Our State in particular-with an elected judiciary-prizes accountability and safeguards against
misuses of judicial power, See Goldman v, Nevada Comm'n on Judicial Discipline, 108
Nev. 251, 256 (1992) ("Nevadans have historically manifested a pronounced sensitivity to potential abuses of judicial power."); see also Houston v, Eighth Judicial Dist, Court I ex rel. County of Clark, 122 Nev. 544, 553 (2006) (noting contempt power should be used with care and circumspection).
No matter a defendant's insolence, the rule of law still protects him. Despite the daily challenge of presiding over rude defendants with poor attitudes, the rule of law does not accept misbehavior becoming the basis for setting bail.
…Petitioner later appeared in district court for the appointment of counsel after his retained attorney withdrew from representation. After petitioner thanked the district court for appointing new counsel, the district court informed the petitioner, "You're remanded.
Thank you. An attitude like that, you can sit in jail." Petitioner remained in jail for fifteen days without bail. Upon petitioner's motion for setting of reasonable bail, the district court reiterated that petitioner had a "terrible attitude in court." Petitioner apologized. The district court then denied petitioner's request for bail citing his prior narcotics-related convictions, failure to appear in court twelve years earlier in a different case, and prior use of multiple social security numbers and aliases. After petitioner's court appointed public defender made a second request for bail to be set, the district court set bail at $1,000,000. At a subsequent hearing to stay the proceedings so that the petitioner could file this petition, the district court instructed petitioner's counsel to make sure to inform this court about petitioner's "attitude" in district court. The Nevada Constitution guarantees the people of Nevada the right to bail in non-capital offenses and prohibits the district court from imposing excessive bail. See Nev. Const. art. 1, §§ 6 and 7; see also NRS 178.484(1) ("[A] person arrested for an offense other than murder of the first degree must be admitted to bail." (emphasis added)); St. Pierre v. Sheriff, 90 Nev. 282, 286, 524 P.2d 1278, 1280 (1974) ("[O]ur Constitution does not encompass inclusion of a non-capital offense as non-bailable."). "This traditional right to freedom before conviction permits the unhampered preparation of a defense, and serves to prevent the infliction of punishment prior to conviction." Stack v. Boyle, 342 U.S. 1, 4 (1951). In deciding a reasonable amount for bail the district court may consider "the nature of the offense charged, the penalty which may be inflicted, the probability of the appearance of the accused, his pecuniary condition, his character and reputation, and the circumstances surrounding the case relative to the likelihood of conviction." Ex parte Jagles and Varnes, 44 Nev. 370, 195 P. 808 (1921); see also NRS 178.498; NRS 178.4853. However, "Bail must not be. . . more than the accused can reasonably be expected under the circumstances to give, for if so it is substantially a denial of bail." Ex parte Malley, 50 Nev. 248, 253, 256 P. 512, 514 (1927).
Our review of the record reveals that the district court violated the Nevada Constitution in two ways. It denied the petitioner bail for fifteen days and then imposed a bail amount which greatly exceeded the amount the petitioner could reasonably be expected to pay. As the real party in interest notes in its answering brief, the district court imposed a bail amount that was fifty times greater than the Clark County standard bail schedule for category B felonies. In light of the district court's failure to consider all of the relevant factors, see NRS 178.498, its stated reason for remanding petitioner to custody, petitioner's indigent status, and the amount of bail, we can only conclude that the district court was attempting to punish petitioner for his attitude without utilizing the procedures provided for in Nevada law. See NRS 22.030(1) (explaining when a person may be punished summarily for contempt); NRS 22.010 (defining contempt). For these reasons, we conclude that the district court manifestly abused its discretion by remanding petitioner to custodywithout bail for fifteen days and imposing excessive bail. See State v.Dist. Ct. (Armstrong), 127 Nev. , 267 P.3d 777, 779-80 (2011)
(discussing when a writ of mandamus will issue). We therefore
ORDER the petition GRANTED AND DIRECT THE CLERK OF THIS COURT TO ISSUE A WRIT OF MANDAMUS instructing the district court to vacate its order setting bail at $1,000,000, set bail at the original amount imposed by the justice court, and recuse itself from presiding over this matter.
Hardesty, cc: Chief Judge, Eighth Judicial District Hon. Doug
By FRANCIS MCCABE – LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
District Court Judge Doug Smith didn't like the way Juan Perez said "Thank you." – So the judge locked Perez up in jail for 15 days and then raised his bail from $3,000 to $1 million.
On Tuesday, the Nevada Supreme Court rebuked Smith, ordering Perez's bail returned to $3,000 and the case moved to another judge's courtroom.
The district court manifestly abused its discretion by remanding (Perez) to custody without bail for fifteen days and imposing excessive bail," stated the Supreme Court order signed by justices Michael Cherry, James Hardesty and Ron Parraguirre.

Perception by Counter Disaster Personnel of the risks of bulk transport of dangerous goods along the Brisbane-Gladstone transport corridor
Childs, Iraphne R., Hastings, Peter A., Carlisle, Ralph D., & Powell, Nick (2002) Perception by Counter Disaster Personnel of the risks of bulk transport of dangerous goods along the Brisbane-Gladstone transport corridor. Australian Journal of Emergency Management, 17(3), pp. 25-33.
|PDF (116kB)
Counter Disaster personnel stationed along the Brisbane to Gladstone road-rail corridor took part in focus groups aimed at eliciting their perceptions of the hazards associated with the bulk transport of dangerous goods that occurs along this route. Six groups, each representing a Disaster District, discussed their responses to a major road accident scenario on a local stretch of the Bruce Highway involving two fuel- carrying tankers and a resulting explosion (BLEVE). That is, a low probability, but high-impact and rapid-onset hazard. A wide range of perceptions and responses to the scenario was noted both within groups and between groups, reflecting differing hazard and risk perceptions, resource availability and mobility, and other geographical factors. Initial management of the hazard, establishing safe zones, effecting evacuation, managing traffic and dealing with casualties were all variously raised as challenges to the emergency services personnel and the frameworks of coordination and response under which they operate. Some settlements along this transport corridor were identified as being notably vulnerable to a dangerous goods accident because of their proximity to the highway, and the relative inaccessibility of the resources needed to cope with such an event.

Digital speedometer schematic available here (PDF, 34KB).
C source code available here under GPL (ZIP, 22KB).
I like knowing how fast my car is going, but the stock analog speedometer only goes up to 140kph. Plus, I suspect its accuracy isn't all that great, it doesn't register speeds below 15kph, and there's no way to calibrate it. I looked at digital speedometers online, but most of them were backlit LCD displays (almost illegible in the sunlight atop my dashboard, and an eyestrain even when you can read them). The ones that weren't were just too expensive for what should be a rather simple piece of electronics. I wanted a three digit 7-segment LED display, like my buddy Takahashi has in his Lancer EVO 6.
I looked at frequency counter chips, figuring I could use BCD decoder and a trio of 7 segment driver chips to display everything, but they were outdated and the amount of external timing circuitry I'd need was a bit ridiculous. I looked around at the local electronics supply store, and stumbled across some cheap programmable microchips. At first I thought it would be overkill, but considering a simple microcontroller is only $2 or $3 and reduces the number of parts significantly, it actually turns out to be the best option. Plus, you can add extra features like in-software calibration, 1/4 mile "drag strip" times, storing top speed, display in kph or mph, and whatever else you can think of. The drawback is the initial investment of a PIC programmer so that you can use your computer to burn your programs to the chip. You can now get an official PICKit 2 programmer for about $35 plus shipping, and it can be used on a variety of microchips all the way up through DSP microchips. If you're into hobbyist electronics, there's really no reason you shouldn't get one. Cheap, easy to program, and powerful enough for most stuff.
The cheapest microcontroller I could find was the PIC16F648A, which is an 8 bit microcontroller with 16 input/output pins and 3 hardware timers, more than enough for this project. It has 256 bytes of RAM, 256 bytes of EEPROM permanent storage, and programming storage space for about four thousand instructions, and best of all, it doesn't require any external oscillator hardware. PIC microcontrollers have a very minimal instruction set, meaning that any operation more complex than addition or subtraction requires a lot of instructions, but since this chip defaults to 1 million instructions per second that's not usually a problem, assuming you have a compiler capable of generating those sequences. As well, almost every input and output is reprogrammable to different hardware functions such as voltage comparison, interrupt triggering, edge counting, timer capture, or even serial communication. It's really quite a powerful little package, especially if you compare it to what was available just 5 years ago.
Your basic 7 segment LED has 10 pins. Two of those are the same, connected to either the anode or the cathode of all the LEDs, and the other 8 are the other end of each of the 8 LEDs. Since 24 LEDs is too many to control with 16 pins, I multiplexed them; that is, the 8 individual pins are all connected through resistors to 8 of the microcontroller pins, and I use 3 other pins to select which of the three displays to light up (via transistors since the PIC pins can't source that much current). If you switch between the displays fast enough, the human eye can't even tell they're being switched on and off.
Obviously the whole thing runs off 5 volts, so to step down the 12-14 volts from a car battery you need a voltage regulator (I used an LM7805 because it was what I had on hand). A couple capacitors also help, as cars tend to have lots of voltage transients. If I wanted to be a bit safer I could have also used a zener diode for overvoltage protection, but the power supply area of the circuit board was already a bit tight for space and the LM7805 and associated components are cheap enough to replace if something bad happens.
Here's a quick parts list of what I used:
1 – PIC16F648A microcontroller
1 – 18 pin socket (not needed if you're just breadboarding it)
3 – 7-segment displays, common cathode
8 – LED resistors (I used 120 ohm, but you should design with the max LED current in mind.)
3 – NPN transistors, anything should work
3 – 1k resistors (to use with the base of each transistor)
1 – LM7805 5 volt voltage regulator
2 – 22uF 50V capacitors (maybe overkill, but if you have noisy wiring you will need to adjust this)
1 – button (for software control)
2 – 10nF capacitor (button debounce and speedo input filtering)
1 – 100k resistor (button pullup)
a board to put it all on, and cables to string it together. You should be able to get all this stuff for under $20.
If you're hooking this directly to a reed switch with no external driving circuitry (like a stock ECU), you will have to add another pullup resistor.
The easiest way would just be to hook up all the 8 LED leads to the same 8 bit port (PORTA or PORTB), but because we're using some ports of A and some of B to do other things, we can't be so lazy. So we'll spread those out and use a software bitmask to determine which ports to light up. Thankfully, it doesn't really matter that much what order they go in, because you can define it in software. The speedometer input has to be on a specific pin if we want to automatically log the timer when we get a pulse. And one of the pins cannot be used as an output, so we'll set that one to be our button input (and when we're putting our board together we'll use it as a reset pin). Aside from that, we can stick the three selector bits wherever we want them, and still have the two serial port pins left for CAN interfacing if we want it, and another for supply voltage sensing (so we can determine whether the headlights are on or off and dim the display accordingly). The parts for these last two options aren't included in the list above, because I haven't added them yet.
Once the hardware is all set up, you need some software to run it, and that's the tough part. The first order of business is reading the chip manuals thoroughly, and then finding yourself a C compiler, because programming in assembly is time consuming and rife with pitfalls. I started with cc5x but the free version only does up to 16 bit math, and it has a slew of other problems ("Can't generate code" is the chief among them, requiring you to manually simplify your code and manually define intermediate variables for calculations). But I tried out SourceBoost and the free version has far fewer limitations. The code should first set up all the interrupts and config registers, define the BCD and seven segment driver code, set up the timers, and tell the main loop to show something useful. It's best to stay simple; the first version of my code simply did a lamp test (all on, all off) and then displayed a rising sequence of numbers (which was actually just a spare timer I wasn't using). This makes sure your lamps all work and your wiring is correct. Then you can start adding in code to test that the pulses are being received and triggering properly without bounce, probably using a counter.
Update 1:
It seems one of the LED 7-segment displays I bought has a bad lamp (D, the one on the bottom). Of course the test lamp feature caught this easily, but only after I soldered everything to a board. Note to self: in the future, use sockets instead of soldering 7 segment displays directly to a board.
Update 2:
It turned out the lamp wasn't bad at all. It was just a short from overzealous soldering. Unfortunately I didn't catch this until AFTER I had ripped out the display element, trashing it in the process. Oh well, there goes 200 yen. But the good news is that it works now, and I've worked out the software bugs I've been able to find.
Update 3:
I finally wired everything into the car. My wiring was fine, but I had lots of noise in the input signal, causing a small interrupt storm that sent the microcontroller into fits. A small capacitor (10nF) between the signal and ground wires at the speedometer fixed that problem. Driving around, the speedometer was just fine below 10kph, but above that there was a lot of jitter in the time between pulses. I'm tweaking the algorithm to average more and more pulses at higher speeds, but since memory is limited this is an interesting problem.
Update 4:
I've had a chance to run the speedometer in my car for several months, and it's given me a chance to test it out. It works pretty well, is a lot more visible than my stock speedometer, and turns a few heads to boot. ("You built that YOURSELF??")
Since several people have asked me to release the source, I will do so. The source is released under GPLv3. You are free to take the code and use it, modify it, and improve it. If you fix any bugs let me know so I can fix them on my speedometer too! Also if you build your own DIY speedometer and put it in a car or bike or whatever, I'd love to see it. Please ask me before using it in a commercial product; I'll probably say OK but I would like to see the end result! The source does have known bugs which I haven't gotten around to fixing; these are listed at the top of the source file in the comments. The biggest one is that quarter mile calibration still doesn't work properly; with snow and ice on the ground I wasn't too motivated to fix them. Now that spring has arrived, I can do so.
As the GPL works, if you redistribute assembled code including hardware with the code installed, you must distribute the source along with it. You got it for free, so you can't complain.
The test modes included in my source code all let you test your wiring easily; simply set MODE_DEFAULT to MODE_TEST in the code, recompile and flash, and the tests will run when you apply power. The first test should display a constantly increasing number which wraps at 255. This makes sure your lamps are wired correctly and set up in software correctly. Press the button to go to the second test. The second test shows how long the button has been held down; a count of 30 is about one second. Use this to make sure your button works properly and isn't bouncing. After about 15 seconds the pulse counter mode is activated. This will show how many speedometer input pulses have been received. This is handy to verify that noise isn't triggering as pulses, and the pulses are registering properly. If all three of these tests work, then your wiring is correct and it should be possible to calibrate the speedometer (drive 50 and enter calibration mode) and display your speed.
Update 5
The schematic I'd posted before was using the wrong parts in the wrong configuration. I'm not sure how I screwed this up, but it's fixed now. Thanks, Velson.
Since I've moved back from Japan and have changed cars, I don't have a working testbed anymore. Feel free to submit patches to the code or modifications to the schematic, and of course if something doesn't look right please let me know so I can fix it.

Hampton Inn & Suites Bradenton Downtown Historic District
Top Business Hotel
The Hampton hotel was the best hotel we have stayed in yet. Very clean, large rooms.
We were impressed with this place from beginning to end. Nice location. Easy to find and park. Friendly staff. Beautiful, well-appointed rooms with high ceilings and extremely comfortable beds. Surprisingly bountiful complimentary breakfast (eggs, hash browns, waffles, fresh fruit and much more), served in spacious and comfortable dining area. That our time here was too short.
My wife and I came for a one night stay and visited local breweries. Everything about the Hampton Inn was extra nice from the warm welcome, to the fine interior conditions, to the excellent full, hot breakfast. This is a nice place to stay.
Comfortable rooms for our two boys and us. Clean and a wonderful staff. Noise from the traffic.
Nice Rooms. Free Breakfast. Fire Alarm went off twice at very inconvenient times.
The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond to accomadate us.
Employees friendly at front desk Place looked run down pool had what looked like oily floating slug by the steps walking into the pool. We where able to check in early but the view was horrible. My expectations where high b4 getting there. My room #203,with add one I paid 148ish your brand name is being hurt by this location
I liked that I could open the window/sliding door and step out onto a slim balcony from my room to smoke. Also liked that the control for the A/C was on the wall and easily adjusted and worked well. There were several built in connectors to the desk/ TV stand for various devices to connect to the TV for media or business use. Room was listed and shown as a suite with a sitting room and was ABSOLUTELY NOT that! there was no free anything inside the building, such as contintental breakfast or coffee even, EVERYTHING cost , even drinking water, beds were super hard and uncomfortable, small fridge in room, but no microwave, no ice for in room even tho a bucket was there, cheap and low quality room amenities, (single serving only), hotel required a cc at check in for incidentals, held $40 for this!. and then did not release it for 7 days after checkout
Clean, snacks left in room for us, front desk staff was adorable. Very basic and practical for price. Right off highway with easy drive to tampa or clearwater. Comfy pillows. Crummy parking. After returning to hotel at 1am, had to park quite far from hotel, behind pool in field. Uncomfortable walk for 2 women in dark desolate parking lot.
location room had a filthy floor in the bathroom and the shower tile need re grouting door frame badly rusted.
Comfort Hair on bathroom floor
Except for small portion of bathroom floor, my room and the hotel common areas were clean. Staff courteous and personable while being professional. Bed comfortable. Breakfast as advertised.
The hotel was awesome, but I don't appreciate being overcharged for the rental car. I booked for three days, had the car three days, yet got charged for four. I only put that here because I will not get a survey for the rental car. The hotel was great!
Nothing fancy but clean, quiet, a terrific and friendly staff and a great location. Nothing
Not sure why the 2 1/2 star rating, but we were very impressed and would definitely stay here again. The rooms were clean, (the carpet was newly installed) and the beds (queen!) were very comfortable! The breakfast was very good, great assortment. When we called the front desk requesting foam pillows, the young man replied that he didn't think they had any; he didn't check w/ anyone. Next day, the manager told us they definitely have foam pillows.
Hotel and rooms were very clean. Had a descent multi exercise machine, was able to work several body parts adequately. Breakfast was descent. The refrigerator did not have a freezer in it.
Very clean and comfortable. Close to Bradenton attractions. Excellent breakfast buffet with delicious cooked food. The noise of the air conditioning system.
That breakfast was included an it was clean an staff was helpful There was a fee for late checkout even though I checked in late.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great also.
Everything NO
It was clean and close to where we were staying. We called the night of check in to see if they had a wheel chair.The person in charge was very rude,and said we aren't a nursing home.The daytime manager was wonderful,and she would have gone home to get hers. The owner was suppose to call us and didn't.
From the moment I walked in, I felt very at home. I was greeted by Brian, who, over the week of our stay, felt like a close friend. Every time we walked in he instantly recognized us and genuinely asked how our day was going. The room was great for the money, very clean and comfortable, and very quiet. I felt like nobody was around us. It is a very small hotel, which I really liked. It is a bit of a drive to the beach, about 15 or 20 minutes, but well worth it in my opinion. I loved it, but to some who are very picky I can see them being unhappy. There were a few stains on the bathroom wall, I occasionally heard a dripping in the toilet plumbing, and the tub drained a bit slowly after a bath. But realistically, it's a hotel with new people nearly every day.. things like that will be there. Everything felt very clean and cared for. I wouldn't say I disliked anything.
Ordinary breakfast bar was OK Exercise bike was non-functional
The room was old and needs alot of updates .Rates were to high for the room.Only good thing was location. Location
I do like the updated motel 6. Vinyl flooring, flat screen TV... Lack of included WiFi
Room smelled of smoke. Sink would not drain. Shower was very weak. Sign on inside of door to lock your room for your own safety.
Staff was very nice 2nd floor hallway carpet smelled like mildew. Room had plug plateS had one screw, loose , smoke detector hanging out of the wall.
Everything Na
Room were clean and comfortable and staff was friendly.
Excellent room. Well kept facility. Good weekend breakfast. Outstanding overall value!
The night clerk was very nice and efficient. The 1st St Cafe, attached to the building, had a terrific breakfast. It is not in the best neighborhood, which was noisy. I didn't feel safe walking to get food at 10pm. It is also the kind of hotel where you can expect noisy families next door to your room, and the walls are thin. I really needed some shuteye so this was not optimal.
Clean, safe, quiet, convenient location. Great value location for my short stay.
The guy that checked us in was nice. It was clean to the eye. Didn't have noise problems. It was just okay. You know when a room has been locked up for months and there is an overall musty smell in it? That's exactly what it smelled like when I first walked in. Felt like I was going to choke. We had to air it out for a bit and it still didn't help. It was okay in terms of cleanliness. They came exactly at checkout as we were leaving and knocked we said we were coming and they opened the door on us anyway. luckily we had the latch on. That was very disrespectful. I wouldn't stay here again though. Definitely wasn't worth more than $50
I am not a fan of this hotel. For approximately $400 for a 5 night stay, I am not a fan. I witnessed numerous overdoses for which ambulances responded in the middle of the nights with siren and lights (which they rightfully should). As if that wasn't bad enough, the clientele of this hotel looks like they are the people supplying the drugs to the junkies that keep overdosing here. I also had the pleasure of running into homeless people every time I went to go get ice in the breezeway. The ice machine looked unkempt as well. I couldn't let the staff know about any of this from my room though, because the phone didn't even work! No dial tone, no nothing, just dead. When housekeeping staff came around, the only thing they changed were the towels and washcloths. They didn't change the sheets, and I know this because the sheet I had during my stay had a cigarette burn in it despite this being a no smoking room. I took showers before I slept and when I woke up, but this makes me think that the housekeeping staff just makes the bed without bothering to put clean sheets on it. Would you think that they sleep in their bed on dirty sheets? The housekeeping staff didn't bother giving me more coffee each day, and I repeatedly had to go to the front desk in person to ask for more. Manatee County Sheriff's Office had to respond multiple times to this property at virtually every hour of the day and night. It was so bad that I had my door locked and bolted with every lock they had on it at all times. I didn't feel safe at this property. There really is nothing around this property to make you absolutely have to stay here, its just situated close to where I plan to move soon, and that was the purpose of this visit. The TV has static on roughly 50-60% of channels, and this was before the hurricane came through. All in all, I would never stay here again, and I don't think anyone else should too unless they want to see the seedy underbelly of society, and feel unsafe in their room on a nightly basis.
Room I stayed in was clean and comfortable. Need to clean or replace carpet in rooms and offer all the television channels listed. Especially if traveling with children.
Close to everything Not accepting the jet ski, it's weird being so close to the beach!!!
The condo is spacious with lanai overlooking small lake. The location is wonderful! Close to restaurants, the beach, Longboat Key and Sarasota Not sure what bit me while there. Hope it wasn't bed bugs!
We stayed a long weekend and enjoyed it. Very nice and big place. Felt like home!
Location floors are filthy
Had lots of sleeping room and it was comfortable. Felt like i was at home. I noticed there was roaches in the kichen and in the dishwasher. That was a turn off . room 104 building 4535 i beleive 1st building.
Quaint bed & breakfast, comfortable bed. Good breakfast
The owner, was super hospitable. Breakfast was amazing and the atmosphere lent itself toward great conversation with other guests.
We could not have been more impressed by this beautiful, charming home very close to Anna Maria island. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and breakfast was delicious. The Keurig maching, mini-fridge, and flat screen were nice too. There was nothing we did not like.
I like the price for all the amenities. There was a nice breakfast of coffee, yogurts, waffles, etc. The staff is very kind and took care of all our needs for the near week we spent there. There is a nice pool which is lovely to spend the afternoon at. The rooms are updated and include little kitchenettes for making nice meals in the room at night and watching movies on the TV. There is a nice desk and chair with ottoman for relaxing. The internet was very fast so I could watch movies on my phone or laptop. The parking is well lit up at night and has video recording which makes us feel safer. The other hotel we stayed at up the street was one of the bigger brands (and price tag) and didn't feel as safe to me. We've stayed at a few spots and have family in Bradenton, so we plan to always use this hotel as our place to stay in the future. The maid service woke me up one morning because I forgot to put the do not disturb sign on the door.
The room was nice and clean and well appointed. The neighbors were to loud, hung out outside and smoked and talked to loud til 1 am. The facility is situated in front of a large trailer park which probably doesn't help attract better clientele.
my check in clerk, i was early checking in so she said she would call me when there was a room ready, the did in less than an hour :) the pool and pool area was a disgrace
Reasonable price. Good location for our needs Pool wasn't clean
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Loved the staff. All very helpful with local sights and events. Room was clean. Pool and hot tub very nice. Free wifi worked well. Breakfast, while free, was very average. Coffee in lobby was not available at some times for us early risers!
Quiet Mattress could have been a little softer for my preference
Very clean, included breakfast is good, front desk service is excellent. No
Location Overpriced
very helpful front desk comp breakfast ended at 9am (too early)
Location within Lakewood Ranch, FL. Breakfast was same as any other hotel.
Proximity, nice rooms, free wifi, refrigerator n/a

everything but foods are same every day every days food are same
cleanliness location nope

Very clean and breakfast was great
Room was clean and smelled good. Close to interstate but a bit of a rough area.
Everything was excellent. The only complaint was the coffee was not very good taste was bad.all Buffet ...all else was good.
More of a 2 star vs 2.5
Very friendly staff. Very bright lobby. Breakfast provided was a very nice variety & very well stocked. Rooms appeared & smelled clean. Fantastic idea to have additional electronic plug ins throughout room! May consider another color palate for rooms; color choices made rooms feel smaller than size. AC was little noisy. Baseboard in bathroom separating from wall. May consider door stoppers in bathroom rather than having to repatch holes (Rm 128).
Staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. You could see the light shining in the side of the door. We hoped bugs didn't come in.
Room was clean, bed was comfy, nice cozy room Staff took forever to answer the door when we arrived late at night. Rang the doorbell ten times before the guy stuck his head out to see what going on. Stood outside waiting for him for about 20 min
Everything was clean and worked. The staff were very nice, helpful, and on top of their jobs. For the price, it can't be beat.
The room was clean and presentable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The water pressure wasn't great along with not able to increase the temperature of the water made showering hard.

TVB stars Bosco Wong and Linda Chung have been slammed by netizens for their disappointing live singing performances.
According to a report in The Straits Times Communities, Wong won an award on JSG Selections 2013 for his single The Final Blessing, which was the ending theme for A Change Of Heart.
His live performance of the song immediately afterwards, however, was criticised by netizens, who said he had poor "singing craftsmanship" and that he could not hit any notes.
They also said his performance lacked vigour and was awkward, and, hilariously, looked like he was singing in the shower with the shower head as a microphone.
Chung also won an award for her song You Are One Half Of Me, and performed it immediately after.
Netizens criticised her breathing techniques, and wrote: "With such bad live singing, how is she even able to hold her own concert next month?"Watch the videos above and judge for yourself.
Do their performances deserve such harsh criticism?Bosco Wong's performanceLinda Chung's performance

I have only looked at the "pelt" build so far and i see that you suffer from a similar problem to what we had with the Forrest/site-author/ site. e.g. --------- ... 798: * [238/166] [0/40] 0.301s 9.4Kb /about.html ... 1290: * [440/124] [0/40] 0.232s 9.4Kb about.html ... --------- http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-677 "leading slash in gathered URIs causes double the number of links to be processed" If you can fix that problem first, then the issues with "views" might be isolated to something else. Also, not that it matters with this, but you are not using the "pelt" skin but the old "tigris" instead. -David

I decided to spend my new years day painting a new body for my prerunner Slayer:
My wife painted and gave me this body for my Revo 2.5 back in 04 or 05. I could not stand the looks of the stock body so I modified this one to fit.
Just finished her up.....

Awesome my friend!! I also have a Slayer in which I made a Baja Buggy using the same proline body. And coincidently used the same color sequence but instead of yellow over black mine is black over yellow. Soon I'll post pics, but nice taste!!!
