If and that's a big if the people in the consortiums involved own less than 10% each, none of them will need to carry out the F&PP test.

i am glad Peter storrie is involved as he has been great servant to the club and and steered us through these recent hard times the russian 'billionaire' never was really interested that much and the 'dr' is full of it ... so i am happy that there is a silver lining perhaps the old relic we call fratton park can be just that a bit of history ...new stadium..... fingers crossed!! even stoke show us up in that dept.. sorry stoke pls no offence..??

Pompey are in a terrible place at the moment. Their hopes, dreams and aspirations are all on hold as the good Dr refuses to show his hand. They have administration written all over them and it could be what this consortium are waiting on...club at a knock down price. If an admin induced points deduction doens't get them relegated, then their ability on the pitch will.

I heard a rumour after the Radio Solent forum that he and David Dein were lined up to takeover the club in a consortium.

Heard Peter Storrie on the forum ,he seems to want the best for the club. Everyone knows Harry bought sucess WHICH COST THE CLUB DEARLY but the money coming into fratton park is just not enough.IF THEY CAN STOP THE ROT THEY HAVE A CHANCE FOR THE FUTURE.WHO WANTS A FOREIGN BUYER WHO WALKS AWAY WHEN HE GETS BORED. NOT ME.

So Taunt, just as I feared does exactly what I claimed it would and without any exceptions that I said wouldn't be provided. Several people tried to say that nothing said you had to charge, but the Skill Trick does state you must move towards the character. You aren't allowed any exceptions, even if attacking with a crossbow would have made more logical sense to do so. The only people who are provided an exception are those who are immune to charm effects...but exactly why is this the case for a mundane ability? No creature who is immune to magical charm should automatically be immune to a mundane charm.
Anyway Taunt is not the only magical rogue ability. Charming Pressense is another. You somehow magically charm a creature... even if that creature wants to kill you or hates rogues or would never ever deal with you ever (Thinking of you Lawful Good Paladin). You can end this ability at will (clearly making it magical) and somehow using the ability means you can't use your skill dice. Apparently if you Charm the bartender you can't pick a lock that well any more. Flip a switch and the charm effect ends...magically as there is no reason for it to ever end if it is truly mundane (until you do something like stab the poor bartender). Even worse, even if I liked the ability, I'm not exactly sure what affect it is suppose to have. What does it mean to have someone charmed?
Display deadliness is another ability that just seems silly. I mean lets be honest the fighter looks way more deadly than the rogue could ever look, especially if the rogue is doing his job of not being noticed.
Distract is silly and apparently magical as well. (Doesn't work on creatures immune to charm affects...no reason this should be the case) May actually have some redeemability.
While I like Feint, I think this is more of a fighter ability rather than something the rogue should have.
Use Magic Device makes no logical sense. How exactly do you trick a magical item into thinking you are a particular race, class, or have a spellcasting ability???????????
Unsassuming threat is horrible. I mean if the monster isn't paying attention to the other guy but you, there is no reason this should give you an ability to your AC.
At least I like sneak attack looking at it. But I've just elimated half the Skill Tricks that I could not possibly put up with in a game of D&D wihtout quiting the game after five seconds. I've never house rulled anything and yet the rogue continues to be a problem.
*Please note that at least at the moment if I didn't mention a skill trick it means I actually like it or it is acceptable.

Archive for the 'HMS Guerriere' Tag
The 4th of July is one of the most loved and inspiring days of the year in the United States. However, in the early stages of the War of 1812, patriotism proved difficult, and inspiration was in scarce supply. USS Constitution's victory over HMS Guerriere helped coalesce and inspire the American citizens to fight against the British.

What will you take with you?
By Drs. Robert & Sonia Vogl
President and Vice President
Illinois Renewable Energy Association
Another Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair (Aug. 7-8 at Ogle County Fairgrounds near Oregon, Ill.) has come and gone. Now that it's over, what will you have taken with you?
Perhaps plans on home improvement? You might upgrade insulation in your existing residence or install energy-efficient windows and doors. You may have begun conversations with experts who can help you with long-range plans or decide to meet criteria of specific building performance. Possibly you have even considered a new energy-efficient home built with state-of-the-art or ancient natural materials.
Since this was a renewable energy fair, you might be considering a small PV, solar hot water or wind installation or even going off grid. Instead of hiring someone else to do the entire installation, you could consider doing at least part of it yourself.
Another possibility might be transitioning to more efficient appliances or changing personal behavior to use less power.
A drastic step, but one that some might consider, is switching to one of the green jobs that were discussed at the fair.
Attempting to live a more sustainable lifestyle could be the direction you wish to take. Purchasing locally-grown produce from an organic farmer is a possible change. Growing your own may seem challenging, but with a winter ahead for planning, a small garden could be a rewarding transition to independence. Preserving locally-purchased food or, better yet, the food you grow, may produce a sense of pride and self-reliance.
Making your own home and personal care products could be a direction encouraged by the ninth annual fair.
Purchasing less and learning to enjoy simple pleasures as opposed to being caught in consumer spending could provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Canoeing or kayaking local rivers, observing and enjoying nature are all thoughts you may have taken with you.
Simply learning more about energy and sustainable living could be the direction you choose.
Becoming more aware of environmental conditions and involved in community organizations or political actions are possible activities that could become new passions or avocations.
The determination to participate in community improvement or help those less fortunate at home or in other countries might provide the satisfaction so many desire.
You may have brought home items purchased at the fair—soap, personal and household care products, light bulbs, organic food, clothing, jewelry and personal ornamentation, books or energy-saving gadgets. Just buying what is "correct" is not sustainable in itself, but can lead to behavioral and attitude changes that can move people in that direction.
Better than shopping, will you take the ability to do something you never did before or thought that you could not do into a more confident life?
Will you move forward feeling inspired and refreshed rather than overwhelmed? Will you have the "can-do" feeling to carry you through the year to the next Illinois Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair?
Will you be the spark that kindles others to try the green lifestyle?
Major sponsors of the fair were The Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and The Rock River Times.
Drs. Robert and Sonia Vogl are founders and officers of the Illinois Renewable Energy Association (IREA) and coordinate the annual Renewable Energy and Sustainable Lifestyle Fair. The Vogls and the IREA are members of the Environmental Hall of Fame. Dr. Robert Vogl is vice president of Freedom Field, and Dr. Sonia Vogl is a member of Freedom Field's Executive Committee. The Vogls consult on energy efficiency, renewable energy and green building. They have 3.2 kW of PV and a 1 kW wind generator at their home. Forty acres of their 180-acre home farm are in ecological restorations. They are active in preserving natural areas and are retired professors from Northern Illinois University.

Historical Traveler Reviews Holiday Inn Express Montreal Centre-Ville
Highly Recommend!!
All the previous recommendations for this hotel are right on. We just returned from a four night stay, and it was very well located, new, clean, comfy, quiet, spacious and the personnel were pleasant and helpful. Terrific value, considering we had a one bedroom queen size bed and living room with sofabed, two tvs, full kitchen with microwave, toaster oven, and full size refrigerator. However, the kitchen was underutilized, since a buffet breakfast is included--coffee, tea, hot chocolate, apple juice, orange juice, yogurt, fruit salad, hard boiled eggs, toast, toaster waffles, bagels, and muffins. However, the setup begs for a bit more study on flow and efficiency. Small matter, though, as it is evident that they aim to please at this hotel. GREAT for families. There is a big IGA a block away. If you're looking for a small, cozy, quaint little place in Vieux Montreal, this isn't it. If you're looking for spacious, convenient accommodations where parents can have their own room; is minutes away from the metro, old town, Chinatown, downtown; includes breakfast and is fantastic value, you can do no better than the Hotel Suites le Faubourg St. Laurent.
Nice stay
This was a great place to stay. Good location, great staff, clean, nice breakfast. Liked the suite as our son slept in the other room.
Tastefully done and well maintained. We did not have a view from the room but that was not a big deal for us. Used the kitchen to make tea in the morning. Walking distance from old Montreal, not that far from downtown. Parking is valet with in/out privledges, and we did have easy access to the car when we needed to get something. Used expedia and got a great rate.
Great Stay!
This place is excellent!!!The rooms are just like apartments. That's because half of this building is a hotel, and the other is suites/apartments. So you have a bedroom, a balcony, a kitchenette with a big fridge, stove, dishwasher, etc etc., The service is great, and the $14 for valet parking was well worth it. It didn't matter how much you used the valet either. The breakfast was big, with cereals, toast and breads, fruit, juices, tea, coffee, bagels, waffles, cream cheese....well, you get the idea. We went down to the IGA in Place Desjardins a littel bit down the street and picked up some eggs. We cooked up eggs and used the other stuff downstairs as well. Needless to say our breakfasts were HUGE, cheap, and very tasty. Oh, each morning in the lobby you also get a free copy of the Globe & Mail, the best paper in Canada.The furniture is all new, and very comfortable. The TV's are big, and you get two TV's (one in each room if you have a 1-bedroom suite) and they have Playstation available to order as well.The people working there are very friendly. They help you with anything you need. The night valet hooked us up with VIP passes to a few clubs, and that was really appreciated.I also left my cell phone there, and they held it for me. I picked it up with no problem. There is one review where someone alleges their jacket was lost and the hotel staff were shady after they left. Well, I called, the receptionist sent in a cleaning lady, and the claning lady found my phone and brought it to the desk. She called us back within 15 minutes to say it was found, and I could pick it up anytime. Overall, I was extremely satisfied. The location is within 2 blocks of 2 Metro stations, so catching the underground is easy. We walked a lot, and it's a 10 minute walk from old Montr�al, 15 minutes walk from the Eaton Centre, and 20 minutes from Crescent Street and most of the good bars.
Great Hotel but we didnt enjoy Montreal
The Hotel was not very difficult to find as long as you pay very close attention to the streets. The room was great but no pots and pans. I guess you have to rent them or something. Everything on TV was mostly in French including the cartoon channels -- no good if you're bringing a child with you. Montreal was ok, the Hotel was directly behind St. Catherine Street and it was so dirty. There was trash flying everywhere. I actually thought it would be clean like most US cities, Chicago etc... but was clearly surprised. The locals were quite friendly and they did switch to English as soon as they figured out that you were American but since we didnt know a lick of French it was difficult to read the signs and difficult to read the menus. I would say that if you had a young child, 10 or under -- this is not a trip to take them to. Montreal would be a great place to go if you like to party and shop. We were completely bored after being there 10 hours and we were dying to get back to VT bad enough that we purchased 2 nights at the Hotel but decided to go home after 1 night and eat the charge for the extra night. Overall, the Hotel was great, the breakfast was good, the Hotel staff was excellent and very helpful.
Extremely satisfied
I was very pleased with this hotel. The staff was awesome. You couldnt ask for a better hotel with everything that you need, and the location is perfect. I have just made reservations to stay there again.
Incredible Value and Location
This brand new hotel was superb. Great staff, clean HUGE room with full kitchen and two firm double beds. Room and hotel were spotless, and in a fantastic location. For less than $70 (US) we could not have done better. There was room for improvement with the daily (included) breakfast...it is served in the lobby where there is VERY limited seating and no tables (a few SMALL end tables beside overstuffed chairs). Great selection of breakfast items, and many guests end up taking breakfast to their rooms.
I've seen better
We we're initially impressed with the hotel and service received. Valet parking was nice and well received. The buffet breakfast was a big plus for us and the discounted price for a three night stay through expedia.ca was very reasonable.
The sour taste was left in our mouth when my wife realized as soon as we got home she left behind her jacket. We contacted the hotel immediately and were informed it was procedure for the housekeeping supervisor to check the rooms prior to the cleaning people preparing the room for the next guests. We know this procedure was not followed because we saw the cleaning lady go into our room before we even got to the elevators to check out. It was obvious to her we checking out as we had all of our luggage in tow. Ever since contacting the hotel we have not even had the satisfaction of a returned phone message. We have called 5-6 times and are continuously promised a return phone call but it has never happened.
As I stated in the outset, the hotel and service was great however, it doesn't appear the service is there once you leave the building!

Can HIGHLY recommend this hotel
Just returned from a chilllllly visit to Montreal (late December) but received lots of warmth from the staff at Les Suites Faubourg St Laurent. Located on the main drag in downtown Montreal, not only was getting around easily accomplished from this central location but coming "home" each evening was a treat too.
The nearly-new hotel sparkles and the personnel go above and beyond in their efforts to accommodate unusual requests including our two: first, my tooth (crown) fell out and the concierge on duty immediately found a dentist for me even though it was the Saturday just before Christmas. He made an appt. for me that same day and within hours I was good as new.
But our other off-the-wall request was to tape the 3-hour finale of "Survivor" as we were arriving late the evening it was scheduled to air and CBS only shows it once. I called beforehand from California and the manager of the front desk/reception not only agreed to tape it for me (from his residence) -- but brought in his own VCR so that I could watch it in our suite....now THAT's service, 'eh? And we shared a good laugh in the process but, hey, it's my One vice.
Breakfast ea. morning was a terrific resource and there's an IGA (supermarket) just 2 blocks down the street to augment the hotel's continental offerings (and DO ck. out the Marche Atwater for an astounding food-buying experience too).
The rooms themselves were tastefully decorated with a TV in the L/R as well as bdrm., lots of amenities, and the rest of the staff from the valets to the housekeeping personnel were friendly and helpful too.
The Les Suites Faubourg St Laurent was an EXCELLENT value overall -- couldn't have possibly asked for more from a hotel or it's people.
Add't. tip: we got a killer deal on a pkg. from Expedia for our trip to Montreal and the extra leg room on American Airlines is Definitely a bonus too.
Loved it!!
A beautiful hotel! The rooms are 4 star quality. Location is great, right by Chinatown, Old Montreal, Downtown and an IGA!!
Terrific place
Super value for the $130. Clean, 1 year old hotel, breakfast, professional staff, valet parking, super clean suites with kitchen and 2 TV (in bedroom and livingroom). We stayed first night in old Lord Berry 3 star and would never go back there, its a rip off, for groups only. Thanks god we got this hotel the next night and enjoyed Montreal. Too bad they dont have the web site yet but places is excellent for this $$$. Far better then most 3 star hotels. I would rate 4 star instead of 2.

Today was our travel day to Montreal for the ice hockey. We boarded the bus at 8am from the coach terminal which was conveniently just down the road. Along the way the bus stopped at a few towns letting people on and off which made the ride a little longer. We arrived in Montreal at around 2.45pm and we got a rude shock when we got out. It was …

... right on a little lake and because it's fall all the trees are turning amazing colours, reds, yellow and greens look pretty ahhmazing. We stopped for about half an hour and got some snaps. Back on the bus and and scenery is far to beautiful to sleep through so I didn't nap at all for the rest of the day (it was tough to fight it though at the end). In the next little town we did a boat cruise around the lake and I can't even describe how amazing it ...

After two hours of climbing, posing for photographs and trudging through the ice and snow, the tour guide took us to Old Montreal, the old city center with remains dating back to New France. We entered a cute restaurant in which apparently one of the best poutine in town was served. ...

I got relived and made up my mind to get to the lookout. In fact, there were many visitors in the lookout. People climb the mountain regardless of freezing weather! There was a ...

Rated 2 out of 5 by mnmhughes Still haven't fixed my bill I made a reservation online for 'Breakfast and Parking' to be included. They charged me for my reservation PLUS added on the breakfast that I had at the buffet/restaurant. Called and asked for it to be fixed, they said it was.....Nope not yet (probably never will). I know that $25 dollars may not be much to some, but to a struggling grad student it is a lot. The room was OK, but not worth the price I paid. May 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Swills Poor guest services The individuals in guest services were very unhelpful. Every time I called about a question or assistance, they directed me to someone else or couldn't help me.This goes for room service as well. There was a tray in the hallway for at least 6 hours needing to be removed. The room was adequate as was the lounge. The gym facility was very nice. Location was central for convention center and mall, but a cab ride away from any good restaurants and nightlife. September 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 Just plain bad for the cost This place is too expensive for its accomodations and location. The room was nice but not anything special. We were put in a special "clean" room which wasn't necessary, BUT I was disgusted to find that someone had not flushed the toilet before we got there. This immediately counters all attempts to provide a special "clean room". There is nothing around here worth going to either. The only saving grace was that they gave us points for the inconvenience. October 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Alien The little things count Very nice, convenient location. To be perfect they need to pay attention to the small things e.g Bathroom door towel hook was missing leaving holes in door. The handle on the shower valve was loose, I was expecting it to fall off during my stay. While I did ask about getting in and out of garrage with car, checkin staff did not activate the room key to the garrage. They also had no clue @ how to assign the continental breakfast which came with the room. January 12, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by 1midwife This hotel needs improvement I was given a handicapped room but thankfully , they did change it quickly . The room needs a dresser to put your clothes in when staying for a week.It looks like the dorm size refrigerator was turned into a place for clothes by placing baskets in it ! No movies were available and only two channels were available on the tv. I stay at Sheratons all over the country, this was my first less than excellent experience . May 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BlueeyesSalem97301 Great hotel and staff Stayed here for 2 weeks for a convention. The staff really went above and beyond to accommodate my every need. July 17, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dissatisfiedcustomer88 Guest beware! Arrival and guest-check in went well-nothing to complain about there. But the room was just horrid! The room was "non-smoking" but the bathroom smelled of smoke, I'm sure the previous guest had smoked in there. The walls were dirty, there were staind dripping from one of the walls. The AC/heater box did not work and our room was extremely hot! The room was outdated and seemed very old. The hallway to the elevator smelled moldy. Oh what a terrible stay! February 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CSch It was fine This stay didn't "wow" me. The pillows were too soft and the blanket was a bit suffocating. The wireless set up did not work, but they allowed use it without room charges. The toilet sounded funny and after every shower there was a high pitched ringing. Some folks did not have hot water. I was fortunate! I also found he prices quite high for food and beverages. It was very clean and aesthetically pleasing. The food served at the meeting was very good. February 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nellie2 Hotel Average Plus O.K. but not great. People are super helpful and friendly!! Prices are reasonable. Rooms are dated and strange layouts and art. Great location. Food is plentiful but quality is mediocre. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gloglo Splendid Hotel - location terrific, amenities great, food fabulous This Sheraton Hotel is fantastic. The staff understand and display fabulous customer care in everything that they do and how they act. July 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kimh March 30, 2013 Stay at Sheraton We had booked this hotel because of it's proximity to the 16th street mall and the rooftop pool. The pool was freezing, couldn't stay in for more than a few minutes. Very disappointing because the spot is so great. Went back to the room to take a hot shower.....but the water was brown and lukewarm at best. Upon check-in, we were told that the hot water would be off from 11pm-5am. I tried to take a shower at 8:30. It still wasn't hot the next morning. April 2, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Exploring Hotel was average. I would say the overall experience was average to good. The AC in the tower building did not appear to work well and there was no AC in those elevators, however there were in the Plaza. July 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandib Excellent service from all staff I was treated like a princess by all staff. I've never stayed at a hotel and treated so well. I love my bed at home and have now found a bed I love even more. So comfortable! Top quality hotel! July 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Xion My visit made me a Sheraton fan I visited Denver on business & my experience at the Sheraton was very positive. The staff was very accomodating and friendly. The young man Ben at the front desk was very patient with me (I was very annoyed from my flight from NY) . This hotel also has a Business Center which literally saved my life (&job) because of course I forgot to print a few documents prior to my arrival. Location is great and the eateries on site are also good & convenient ! September 11, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by DavidAC Needs Refresh Hotel is outdated and rooms are tired. Overpriced. July 19, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Justintotennis Room Unsatisfactory At first glance, the hotel was great. I was there for a conference and everything went smooth. But then I got up to my room. I was able to turn the TV on, but not able to turn it off and I couldn't even find where to pull the plug until the next morning. So I had to sleep with the TV on all night. Also, the bathroom door doesn't shut properly, and there's a big cracked spot in the ceiling above the shower. It was room 734 in the Towers building. November 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Trigg Very Unhappy We had a reservation for over a month and when we arrived we found out they wanted to send us to another motel because they had let someone else have our room. We were traveling with another couple and attending a football game at night close to this motel and that's why we wanted to stay here. The other motel was at least 20 minutes away and we didn't want to have to worry about driving after the game and we wanted to spend some time downtown. November 21, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JustAguest Not quite what I expected I was not able to find a steam room or hot tub. The sidewalks outside of the Tower side were not well shoveled (rest of downtown sidewalks were clean and dry and it was slippery in front of the hotel. Called guest services a few times with questions. once, rang for about a minute with no answer. When the phone was answered, the information provided was accurate, timely and friendly. Check-in and check-out were very quick, courteous and easy. April 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by sgimattendee meeting attendee My only complaints are: 1. The living room of my suite smelled like old cigarette smoke, even though it was supposed to be a nonsmoking hotel. 2.The layout of the conference space made it difficult to navigate and find different meeting rooms, but the staff did help with this. 3. Homeless people stare into the windows of the fitness center; I suggest installing 1-way glass windows so that those inside can see out but those outside can't see in. April 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Debra58 Checking in My only BUT MAJOR complaint is that the room I reserved in advance in association w my professional meeting in your hotel was unavailable. I was sent to a lesser level room which was not ready @ 7pm. I had to speak to the manager in order to deal with this. In the end, I was given the room I had reserved w an excellent view. Why the hassle? Does not bode well w a weary traveler. If I were a man would I have had to deal w this sort of treatment? June 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Johnji A great stay! Club level was great. The reception and check-in was flawless. And the room was spotless. But there were issues. I had to ask 5 people before I got to the right place for my car. And the internet was a pain. I wasn't told about how to get the internet free(A club level extra) until I paid for one day. And the dang thing kept disconnecting. But overall I was very happy with the stay. And I hope one day that the internet will be free everywhere. October 31, 2012

Rated 4 out of 5 by csar23 Loved the Service, missed the pool. Absolutely loved the service at your hotel, especially from Charles and his crew. The Front Desk woman, could use some instruction on customer service. Sorry, I can't remember her name. Her comment to me that if she needed something from me, she'd ask for it, did not set well. Terrible tone for the front desk to be setting. And where was the pool? Under construction/maintenance. That was a bummer, but understandable. Give my Kudos to Charles. May 17, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Trish Family stay When I reserved te room on phone I was told there was a pool for kids then told the price for room and rooms were next to each other. When I checked in I was charged more for room and then they had to find rooms for us. I didn't have the rooms I asked for was charged extra for one room and they were far apart. Then told pools were not working and had to walk 6 blocks to westin hotel. The valet parking gave no direction because I didn't tip. May 25, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mike490 Tired Convention Hotel The public areas of the hotel are updated. The Yardhouse restaurant on site is a fantastic option. I was upgraded to a larger room given my frequent SPG stays. The room had a tiny bathroom and furniture from the 80's. It was really a awful. However, I could live with that. The largest complaint comes from the fact that each of the three days I was there, we tried to order coffee and oatmeal from room service. 2 of the 3 days they quoted 1 hour delivery times and it actually took a full hour. 1 day it was over an hour so we did not order and had to start our day without food until noon. Room service is poorly run if they can't handle coffee and oatmeal in less than 1 hour. It pretty much ruins your day if you have to skip breakfast due to the inability to get food. Oh yes, we could have gotten coffee and a pastry from Peet's in the lobby....but the lines there we 50 people deep as well. May 11, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by aggie1976 old legacy hotel, needs improvement An old legacy hotel that Sheraton has tried to upgrade to today's business traveler but more work is needed. The Good: The fitness centrer was excellent. Great selection of equipment, lot's of machines, The Bad: There was one working electrical outlet in the room. The bathroom needs a lot of work. The toilet seems to be original 1950 style. The TV while an LCD had horrible sound and available channels was 1/3 sports channels. A/C was noisy June 28, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Moto2014 Would stay here again All expectations were met; bathtub didn't drain on day 2, and sink didn't drain on day 3, however, once reported was resolved. Location of property is excellent and convenient to practically anything you want. Appreciate the added feature of having to swipe room key in elevator to access the floors. Green Choice option especially appreciated! June 10, 2014

The only exceptions were the club and the furniture The staff in the club worked like demons, But the kitchen did not give them much to work with and they close at 7:00PM (the room is open but no service. We did not feel we received our full value for this feature. Also there is minimal storage space for stuff. Stupid little boxes on shelves in cabinets and not very many of them! June 28, 2013

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly provided updates on some injured players after Wednesday's practice.
Linebacker Danny Spond, who has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, will be available when the Irish (3-2) play host to Air Force (3-1) at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
"He's good. He's cleared," Kelly said. "He'll be on all of our run teams, and he is in a backup position at the drop."
Receiver Daniel Smith, who is also battling a hamstring injury, is closer to returning, but he will not be available until the home game against USC on Oct. 22.
"He's making great progress," Kelly said. "He was out there today, but limited. He's got individual work done. He's making progress. I would say after the bye week, he'll be full go."
Kelly said Notre Dame has lost two players to shoulder injuries for the rest of the season. Offensive lineman Tate Nichols had surgery Friday, and linebacker Anthony Rabasa is scheduled to have shoulder surgery soon.
"We want to get these guys 100 percent for spring ball," Kelly said. "They both had sublexing shoulders that were coming in and out. We were able to shoulder harness them, they were able to practice effectively for us. But we don't want them to be held back in the spring because they're going to obviously be good football players for us."
Kelly also addressed two situations on the defensive line.
Freshman Stephon Tuitt is expected to play this weekend after missing last Saturday's Purdue game because of disciplinary reasons. Kelly said the defensive end didn't travel with the team to Purdue because he missed class.
"I really liked the way he handled himself," Kelly said. "He apologized to the team for letting them down, took full responsibility for his actions, talked to his mom and they all, as family, understand why he is here and that's to get a degree."
Tuitt's absence and defensive end Ethan Johnson's sprain right foot forced the Irish to use Kona Schwenke last week, and the sophomore will now have more of a role on the defense the rest of the season.
"It was unfortunate that we had to play him," Kelly said. "Ethan went down in the first series, and we were shorthanded without Tuitt being there. That was an unfortunate situation, but we are here to win games first and foremost. He'll continue to be in that backup role."

MTV, Microsoft teaming to launch 'URGE' digital music store
In what could be the stiffest competition yet for the iTunes Music Store, MTV Networks and Microsoft announced today that they have joined forces to develop a new digital music service called URGE. Set to launch next year, the service will be integrated into a forthcoming version of Microsoft Windows Media Player. Music pricing was not announced.
"The collaboration unites MTV Networks' music DNA, marketing strengths and powerful MTV, VH1 and CMT brands with the technology leadership and consumer reach of Microsoft," the companies said. "URGE will offer rich entertainment programming and innovative tools designed to guide musical discovery and connect fans to the artists and music they love. Offering more than 2 million songs from the major labels and thousands of independents, URGE will encompass all musical genres, from alt-country to zydeco. In addition to a broad catalogue of music choices, URGE will deliver a deep well of exclusive MTV Networks programming and original, hand-crafted content."

I just can't get over the complete and total AWE of that teaser page.
Come on though. From MTV and Microsoft, the teaser page for their service against their biggest and completely dominant competition is a big freakin' JPEG?
My co-worker, sitting at his desk next to me, with not direction what-so-ever for a teaser page put up this;
and THATS all that MTV could come up with for theirs?
I can already see that this is going to be extremely successful.

I think it all depends on how well it integrates into WMP. This will be the deciding factor of whether or not this might eventually make a dent in the shares of the iTMS. MTV can market and take mindshare with the best of them; just ask any highschool teenager where their new music comes from. (That assumption might be incorrect - I've since grown out of MTV lately.) But I don't see them reaching the worldwide scope, audience, and influence of the iTMS anytime soon, that's for sure.

"Steve Jobs will go down in history as being the first then came the others, end of story. Can he compete? Sure he can, he is and will always be the best."
I suppose that must be the reason why during Jobs' first watch at Apple the company was taken to the edge of bankruptcy, the two co-founders left unceremoniously, and Apple's share of the computer market plummeted. It must also account for the fact that Apple's share of the computer market today is not actually non-existent, but it's pretty close.

^^Now thats what I call a burn to the Mac fanbois.
Also, to everyone who is saying that Apple beat MS in the DAP market you seem to forget that MS has not released a DAP (they went a different route and are trying to be the OS on every handheld device). I don't ever see them releasing a DAP unless the market allows for it and can beat the near-perfect Ipod.
Posted by Huh on December 14, 2005 at 10:04 AM (CST)
It annoys me that people keep saying "Face it MS, you lost." Competition is good, people. And the only way competition actually occurs is when there is more than one major company in a market.
There is no way MS has lost. Look at the car industry. Ford and Chevvy led the market for years. Then, small Japanese companies start up—Toyota and Honda. Should they have just said, oh well, they own most of the market share, why are we going to even bother?
No, they went full speed ahead tapping into the cheap market of cars. And sure enough, as years went by, their market share increased and increased.
And if you look today, I believe Honda and Toyotas are 1) making a profit when Ford is not and 2) outselling Ford/Chevy.
Tsk tsk, Apple is great. I love Apple, don't get me wrong. Capitalism is all about competition. It's good for Apple to continue innovating, and it's good for Microsoft to try it's best to take market share.
Posted by schiano on December 14, 2005 at 12:07 PM (CST)
you definately should not just push ms to the side like that. they have a lot of money to burn through. when they want to get into the market they will definately go through a lot of cash to get there. they were selling the first gen xbox's for a loss just to get into the market. now with the brain washing power of mtv on today's youth i think "urge" will become quite successful. microsoft is not that dumb i am pretty sure they will make it compatible with the ipod. apple should definately be worried. the last time apple was on top and were not worried about microsoft… well you know the story.

An online music store that sells content with DRM makes sense only under certain conditions. Apple currently at least minimally meets these conditions and so far no other store does. This new Microsoft-MTV venture doesn't appear to. The conditions?
1) the DRM system must be nearly invisible to the user
2) the DRM must be liberal enough to the user to make its restrictions acceptable
3) the DRM system must allow users to use the music when and where they want it
Based on other stores that use Microsoft's WMA content controlled system, at this time we know only the first condition will be met. Microsoft's system is nearly invisible, just as Apple's is. However, unlike Apple's FairPlay, Microsoft's DRM system allows for 'flexible' disk burning terms. Flexible for the music labels but confusing for the buyer. I can burn some but not others? My limits are different from album to album? Not friendly at all. And finally, we all know that Micorosoft's DRM system is currently available only to Windows users and not for the iPod at all.
Given that Apple has a commanding market lead Microsoft and its partners can really only compete on price and innovation. We've seen how successful the innovation card has been so far. And with Apple's iPod success comes economy of scale that no other mp3 hardware company can match. So playing the price card will also be difficult. The only way I see for Microsoft's music alliance to put a dent into Apple's lead are:
1) Microsoft begins building and selling its own MP3 player and absorbing huge losses
2) Apple to stumble badly
So the MTV/Microsoft music store, at least at this time, makes little sense.

First off, there is no way Apple's going to be trumped by Scumsoft, I mean Micro$hit, I mean Microsoft and MTV. Microsoft hasn't done anything significant for the longest time, and MTV hasn't done anything significant since Beavis and Butt-Head. These two media midgets are going to take down Apple? AS IF ...
Flathead Response: "Runner" is absolutely right in this particular case. Calling someone or something "retarded" WILL ALWAYS BE "IN." Part of what makes something "in" and "cool" at any time is the simple fact that I use it. I can make an old and tired joke new again just by using it, I can make it cool again just by using. Whereas, when you use it it just sounds dull and old. You don't have the magic or the talent to make old things new again. I do, as do perhaps a slight few others who visit this website but can only I say just who they are. And saying something was "SO THIRTY YEARS AGO" or "SO FIVE MINUTES AGO" or "SO" HOWEVER LONG AGO is GAY. You're a f a g g ot and a LOSER. DEAL WITH IT!
Oh, and to the moderators:

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Students at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas are getting ready to break ground on the super-energy efficient house they're entering into a national competition.
The Las Vegas Sun reports the UNLV Solar Decathlon team has been designing for months and hopes to begin construction on the 735-square-foot, solar-powered house later this month.
UNLV was among 20 teams chosen a year ago for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2013 Solar Decathlon competition. They were given a $100,000 federal grant to start the project and will officially compete in Irvine, Calif., in October.
The small house will be powered by 30 solar panels and feature a fountain that uses recycled rainwater.
Team members say they hope the energy-neutral design will inspire more efficient home building in the future.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Aug. 30, 1966 R. J. MEIMA ETAL 3,269,691
BALL VALVE SEAL SUPPORT Filed Sept. 20, 1963 INVENTORS ROBE/97V. MEI 4A JAMFS D. A/TKEN BY AGE/VT United States Patent 3,269,691 BALL VALVE SEAL SUPPORT Robert J. Meima, Oakland, and James D. Aitken, Whippany, N.J., assignors to Thiokol Chemical Corporation, Bristol, lPa., a corporation of Delaware Filed Sept. 20, 1963, Ser. No. 310,399 1 Claim. (Cl. 251159) This invention relates generally to valve seals and more particularly to a novel support for ball valve seals.
As is well known in the art, ball valves are provided with leak-preventing circular or annular seals which form the upstream and downstream valve seats, some sort of support therefor usually being provided. Because of the fluid pressures involved and of the severe wear to which the seals are subjected, it is necessary to employ means to constantly urge the seals against the surface of the ball to prevent leakage. Such means are springs or other resilient devices or combinations thereof. As a result, there exists a problem of wear on the sealing surfaces (seals and ball) due to abrasive substances present in the fluid so as to require their frequent replacement. The removal of the valve ball from known valve casings for replacement, etc. is not only diflicult but frequently results in damage to one or more of the seals.
The main object of the present invention is to provide an improved valve seat for ball valves which will obviate the above and other difiiculties attendant the replacement of the various valve parts.
An important object of the present invention is to provide a retractible valve seat for ball valves which will enable ready removal of the valve ball without injury to the seals.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a novel valve seat for ball valves which is rectractible with respect to the valve ball and which includes seal support means and resilient means urging the seal against the ball when in non-retracted operative position.
A further important object of the present invention is to provide a ball valve of a novel construction and arrangement for the reception of a cam retractible ball valve seat including a seal and resilient means for urging it against the valve ball in the operative or non-retracted position.
A still further important object of the present invention is to provide an improved ball valve structure of the type described which will be simple and practical in construction, rugged and of long life in use, and susceptible of ready and economic manufacture.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the following description.
In the drawings we have shown one embodiment of the invention. In this showing:
FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary, central, longitudinal sectional view of the invention; and
FIGURE 2 is an elevational view of the ball valve seat and seal showing the cam means for effecting retraction of the seat.
Referring to the drawings, numeral designates a valve casing having a fluid inlet port 12, a central bore 14 terminating in a shoulder 16 defining a reduced bore 18 which also terminates in a shoulder 20 defining the inlet port 12. The casing 10 is symmetrical about its central vertical axis and the bores 14, 18 and shoulders 16, 20 are also provided adjacent the outlet port (not shown) as is a valve seat so that only that seat adjacent the inlet end, which is identical, need be described.
As seen in FIGURE 1, the valve seat 22 is cylindrical and has a portion of enlarged diameter 24 and an inner peripheral shoulder 26, and is slidable and rotatable in the bores 14 and 18 from the operative position shown to a retracted position against the shoulders 16 and 20. A ball valve 28 having the usual flow passage 29 is rotatably mounted in the casing 10 and its surface seats against the mating end surface of an annular seal 30 which may be of any desired, suitably hard and rigid, wear-resistant material such as one of the plastics or relatively soft metal.
The seal 30 is supported by and slidably mounted within the enlarged seat portion 24 of the valve seat 22 and is urged against the surface of the valve ball 28 by a wave washer 32 acting between its left end and the inner peripheral shoulder 26. Movement of the valve seat (or seal carrier) 22 away from the ball 28 is limited by the shoulders 16 and 20 while movement toward the ball is limited by a locating and retaining pin 34 projecting from the cover 36 of the valve casing 10 and into a recess 38 formed in the periphery of the valve seat seal carrier portion 24. The cover 36, seal 30, and valve seat 22 are each provided with seals 40 to prevent leakage between them and the surfaces co-operating therewith.
The outer periphery of the valve seat seal carrier portion 24 has an angularly disposed cam track 42 formed therein into which a cam pin 44 fixed to the valve housing 10 projects so as to effect axial movement of the valve seat 22 in the bores 14, 18 when the seat is rotated in either direction as by a spanner wrench inserted through the valve casing cover opening with the cover 36 removed.
It will now be apparent that the valve seat 22 is locked in operative position (FIGURE 1) by the retaining pin 34 and that in this position the seal 30 is in sealing engagement against the ball 28 and resiliently urged thereagainst by the wave washer 32 to increase the sealing effect and to accommodate for wear of the seal 30 and of the ball 28.
To remove the ball 28 without damage to the seal 30, the latter and its carrier must be retracted (to the left in the figures) a sufiicient distance to permit the surface of the ball to clear the seal or to a position against the shoulders 16 and 20. This is effected by withdrawing the retaining pin 34 and rotating the valve seat 22, 24, with a spanner wrench to cause the fixed cam pin 44 to ride in the cam slot 42 and move the carrier from the full line position of FIGURE 2 to the dotted line position. This relaxes the resilient pressure of the wave washer 32 and carries the seal 30 away from the ball which may now be withdrawn without distorting or otherwise damaging the seal. Conversely, when a ball is installed, the seal carrier is rotated to move the seal into engagement With the ball with the wave washer compressed to provide the seal with an initial sealing force, and the reinsertion of the retaining pin 34 prevents any further rotary or axial movement of the carrier.
It will now be readily apparent that the ball valve and seal carrier construction of the invention enables the easy insertion or removal of the valve ball without damage to the seal and without interference with the floating or resilient action of the ball seat seal, and the valve seat provides hoop strength for the seal.
It is to be understood that the form of our invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departure from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
We claim:
A valve comprising, in combination, a casing having a central bore terminating in shoulders defining axially outer reduced bores which terminate in shoulders defining inlet and outlet ports communicating with said bores; a ball including a flow passage rotatably mounted in said central bore; valve seats slidably and rotatably mounted in said reduced bores and having enlarged portions termimating in shoulders; a ball engaging valve seal slidably mounted in each of said portions; said valve seats and said portions containing said seals being movable from an operative ball engaging position to a ball clearance position against said bore and port defining shoulders; a cam slot formed in the outer periphery of said seats; pins fixed to said casing and projecting into said slots to effect axial movement of said seats between said positions upon rotation of said seats; spring means acting between said enlarged portion shoulders and said seals to urge said seals against said ball in operative position; said valve casing including a removable cover for the insertion of said ball, a recess formed in the outer peripheries of said valve seats, and retaining pins projecting from said cover and into said recesses to limit the movement of said valve seats toward said ball to limit the pressure of said seals against said ball and retain said valve seats in operative position.

I love this one, as one of my cousins had a pink and black Victoria, while at the same time, my neighbor who lived directly across the street had a blue and white Customline 2 Door Hardtop. I have an old built-up I did back in the '80s that does not look too bad, but I may pull it apart, and re-paint it, as the paint job is very much dated.

Looks good, as usual, Rich. If you haven't already glued the doors shut, you might consider leaving them hinged, but using magnets to keep them closed. Check out Radio Shack for their selection, or even a Michaels or Hobby Lobby type crafts store- there is all kinds of magnetic stuff available, even tape (and I don't mean recording tape). I have a few that I stripped from dead CD drives here at work- they're really strong- that I plan to use in '56 and '57 Ford and '55 and '57 Chevy builds. One in the body, one in the door and they shouldn't flop at all.
Posted 25 October 2013 - 10:43 AM
that I plan to use in '56 and '57 Ford and '55 and '57 Chevy builds. One in the body, one in the door and they shouldn't flop at all.
I've found two problems with the doors on those kits. First are the plastic hinges. They are awful and next time I'd replace them with scratch built metal ones. Second is the fit in the frame. The second kit I built as an adult was the '57 Ford. I didn't know enough to test fit everything back then the doors are very tight in their frames, and I broke off the drivers side hinge so my door is just wedged into the frame now.
Posted 25 October 2013 - 12:24 PM
Thanks guys.
John and Tom, I still haven't made up my mind whether or not to just glue the doors shut. I originally thought about making better metal hinges but didn't. I'm not sure about going the magnet route either. The problem with the doors on these kits is, not only don't they usually stay closed, but, when they're opened, they usually sag because of the crappy hinges. I'm leaning towards the "glue them shut" option.
Posted 25 October 2013 - 03:27 PM
Rich those continental kits are almost like a signiture on your builds now. Very cool BTW...
Posted 25 October 2013 - 05:43 PM
Hey thanks Carl. I think that a lot of the 50's cars look cool with a continental kit, especially when the car is done up as a mild custom. As you can tell by now, I'm a fan of the J.C Whitney "Bolt-On" style of customizing on 50's cars. It was the relatively cheap way back then to make your car look cool without any bodywork other than getting it nosed, decked and shaved. I'm partial to the full width connie kits as opposed to the smaller "basket" types.
I have to get another copy of Andy Southard's book "Custom Cars of the 50's & 60's" which I loaned to someone a very long time ago and never got it back. It had great pictures of mild customs from back in the day. Great for reference ideas.
