Excellent product and performs as it should. Daniel from Clute, TX– Verified Buyer This non-stick 12" Omelet pan was a pleasure to cook with in that the non-stick surface performed as extremely well as the eggs just slide off. Also my wife stepped out side to talk to a neighbor & forgot she was cooking & burned everything to a crisp. The amazing thing is that I was able to wipe it clean with little effort. I would recommend this product for the quality and especially the price. |
Love it! Tanya from Roy, UT– Verified Buyer This is my favorite pan! I use if for everything. You can cook up hamburger and strain the fat easily with the silicone lid with vent/drain holes. I have burned quite a few items in my time cooking and had to worry about the clean up. Not with this pan, it is completely non stick. Absolutely Love It!!! |
What took me so long! Rhonda from Bronx, NY– Verified Buyer I've recently purchased 3 Calphalon pans, 12" , 6" and a roaster. They are on the heavy side but heat distribution is great, and clean-up is awesome; everything just slides off the pans! You get what you pay for with these!!! |
Great cooking teresa from bedford, VA– Verified Buyer I love this pan. It is bigger than I expected and it steams up and you can cut t off and it is still cooking. |
Calphalon omelette pan Virginia from Darnestown, MD– Verified Buyer I bought this omelette pan and have used it several times. It's very roomy and heavy-duty. I've fried hamburgers and bacon in it. I would like to buy more calphalon pans to replace the pans that I have now. |
Too Big Straus Davis from Fayetteville, NC This item is simply too large to cook the perfect omelette. If I had to purchase another omelette pan, it would be the 8 or 10 pan. This pan is better for frying. The cover makes a nice addition, because it prevents splashing.... |

very good breakfast. nice staff beautiful room
The stench of cigarettes from the 'no smoking' room next door overwhelmed my room and the hall. Staff said they would do something, but in the morning smell remained. WiFi did NOT work in the room on 4 devices. OK in lobby, just steps from my room
Location was great for downtown activities.
First night we had no refrigerator or lights in the entrance of our room.
Very old facility - badly needs updating. Do not pay extra for breakfast - available to everyone at no cost (a rip off at the least). Not clean - mold in corners of bathroom. Cannot believe they keep the Best Western franchise.
the room was clean & bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again

the room had a musty smell, and so did the hallway of th hotel. The breakfast was far from continental, and cleaness can be improved.
Breakfast food. The staff were helpful with directions.
The fridge in the room was too big and noisy. It was hard to control the room temperature. The back door into the block did not always seem to lock properly making the place less secure.
The entire staff was so friendly. I use a go-go scooter and they could not have been more helpful, especially the lady at the morning breakfast.
Nothing--our stay was wonderful.
Location is perfect, staff was beyond helpful!
The room and staff were OK. The staffs were friendly and the room was large and very clean including the bathroom. The AC was working well, and I had a very nice bath with plenty of hot water. You can have breakfast (US standard breakfast), too. The hotel is located 10min bus ride distance from the downtown. So perhaps some people might consider that as problem, but for those who has your own car, and don't care taking the bus, the hotel is reasonable. I liked it.
Just check the location.
The staff was very helpful and professional.
The location is in gangland...be prepared to move around only in the daytime. It's close to the Riverwalk and Market Square but you have to traverse some pretty scary streets for about 3 or 4 blocks.
The staff was supper friendly
The room smelled like carpet cleaner. Strong odor.
The front desk staff was very helpful to us especially Vanessa. The breakfast offered and managed by Yvonne was all very nice as well.Look forward to our next visit.
The staff was friendly and willing to assist if needed. Surprisingly quiet based on location (off highway).
Beds were a bit lumpy, hard, and dated. Rooms could have been cleaner (bathroom/pillow cases). Bathroom shower head was extremely harsh. Parking is very limited.
If u r traveling with family these rooms are definitely for you the rooms were very big with 2 king beds and a large refrigerator.
The only bad thing was the location from downtown center which is about 4 miles away. Not walking distance. But everything else was pretty good.
easy access to the freeway, one way in and out for parking and very comfortable beds
the view, microwave didn't work
Yvonne the hostess for the breakfast meals was so friendly we couldn't find a more gracious hostess if we tried! Our room with king size bed was clean and nice to have a full size refrigerator, microwave, with divided seating area. Having a business center, indoor pool, hot tub, and exercise room was also great. The front desk people were polite and once when we came in from being out all day the female clerk (sorry I didn't catch her name) even gave a us each a bottle of cold water. We sincerely appreciated that! Those little things go a long way. Had we known there was a dog boarding facility, day care, groomer and vet right across the street we may have brought our dogs and stayed longer since we could've seen them daily. Good pillows and sheets. Breakfast offered a very good variety and was never lacking for anything. Again we cannot state how welcome we felt by Yvonne, give that woman a raise! She was always busy refilling trays of food, asking if we needed anythings, could she take our empty plates, etc. and kept things so clean. Hope to see you again next year.
The view wasn't great, so close to an industrial area but it wouldn't deter us from staying here again. It seemed as though the hot tub fluctuated in temperature from "hot" to warm on various days and there was no clock in the pool area.

What?Submitted by the best there was (not verified) on Tue, 06/24/2008 - 4:01pm.
Okay JS, I am a little confused by what you mean. You said, "serving has (as) interim is NOTHING like running a fire department". What do you mean? Do fires burn different for an interim fire chief? Does not the interim chief oversee day-to-day operations like a regular chief would? Would not he still have to ensure firefighters are maintaining their training? Adequate staffing levels? Discipline? Order? I guess if we have a big incident that the department has a tough time handling we could just say "If we had a chief instead of just an interim this would have never happened". I'm not seeing where you are coming from JS.

Description This is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 121,271, filed Nov. 16, 1987, now U.S Pat. No. 4,809,243, which is a continuation of Ser. No. 915,060, filed Oct. 3, 1986, now abandoned. 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to apparatus used to detect pressure waves propagating through a fluid and particularly to a low-noise streamer cable having improved buoyancy compensation. 2. Description of the Related Art A conventional streamer cable used in seismic exploration may consist of a water-tight jacket enclosing a plurality of pressure sensors disposed at known intervals, depth transducers, and electrical and optical conductors extending through a series of bulkheads. The bulkheads also receive and are anchored to a plurality of steel or nylon stress members extending therethrough. The stress members absorb the strain of towing, thus preventing the cable jacket from stretching and eventually rupturing. The bulkheads provide a cylindrical shape to the streamer cable jacket, separate the stress members from each other, and may be used to protect the enclosed pressure sensors. The streamer cable often is filled with a noncorrosive light kerosene to provide neutral buoyancy while in the water. A few streamer cable designs have employed a closed-cell isocyanurate foam to provide buoyancy and to protect the enclosed sensors from crushing impacts, but closed-cell structure streamer cables are restricted to limited depths of operation. Conventional streamer cables suffer from substantially high amounts of background noise while under tow. Movement of the streamer cable through the water may result in cable noise on the order of 5 to 10 microvolt. A percentage of this noise may be attributed to sources away from the cable such as the propellers of the ship and the breaking waves in a rough sea. The remainder of the noise is generated by weights and depth controllers attached to the outside of the cable used to attain and maintain a common depth for the length of the cable. Two mechanisms are generally believed to be responsible for cable-generated noise. In the first mechanism, the cable is subject to irregular towing tension resulting in cable jerk. Shock from cable jerk propagates along the stress members to the bulkheads which in turn generate pressure waves in the cable oil. The pressure waves propagate along the length of the cable section with the cable jacket acting as a wave guide. Rarefractional waves also develop within the cable. The multiplicity of pressure waves and/or rarefractional waves (hereafter called tube waves) are detected by the enclosed pressure sensors as background noise. The second mechanism for generating cable noise may result from objects outside the cable or from the cable moving laterally to the towing direction. That is to say the cable may whip or vibrate; the motion having a range of amplitudes and wave lengths. Cable whip causes the cable jacket to shift about the bulkheads causing vibration to be transferred to the cable oil. Additionally, the cable jacket may impact one or more of the stress members thus generating a pulse which is detected by the sensors. In addition to cable whip, cable noise is generated by vibration of the stress members. Cable jerk pulls the stress members taught from the relaxed position, setting them to vibrate and generate noise. It is preferred that a streamer cable have substantially zero background noise while in tow, but if this is not readily attainable, it is most desirable to reduce background noise as much as possible. It is a primary object of this invention to provide a lownoise streamer cable. It is another object of this invention to provide a streamer cable having a greater longitudinal rigidity to reduce cable whip and vibration. It is yet another object of this invention to provide a streamer cable which is substantially incapable of having tube waves propagate therein. It is yet another object of this invention to substantially reduce the need for external ballast or depth controlling devices to control the tow depth of the streamer cable. The instant invention may have a flexible tubular jacket enclosing a plurality of pressure sensors disposed at known intervals along its length, all interconnected to a recording and control unit aboard a towing vehicle by a transmission bundle. A unitary, open cell foam insert may be enclosed within the jacket and enclose the plurality of pressure sensors so as to physically locate each along the axis of the cable. A plurality of off-axial holes each extending the length of the inset contain a transmission bundle. Located at each end of the streamer cable within the cable jacket, and proximate the end connectors, may be a closed cell foam core insert. The closed cell insert contains the same holes as extending through the open cell insert described above. A plurality of rigid stress members are longitudinally disposed within the jacket and exterior the insert, each containing a steel or nylon cable extending the length thereof. Disposed around the inserts and inside of the stress members at known intervals may be an annular locator for maintaining the radial position of each stress member and assist in maintaining the cylindrical shape of the cable. The pressure sensors may each have a polyvinylchloride (PVC) housing which may support the sensor within the foam insert. The polyurethane inserts, stress members and PVC cable jacket and sensor housing all act in concert to dampen tube waves and spurious pressure pulses resulting from cable movement, as well as provide a more stable cable profile in the water as it is towed. The low cable profile improves the laminar fluid flow adjacent the cable exterior and reduces cable noise. A better understanding of the benefits and advantages of my invention may be obtained from the appended detailed description and the drawings, wherein: FIG. 1 is a generalized illustration of a ship towing the instant invention through a body of water; FIGS. 2 and 3 are isometric quarter cross-sections illustrating a portion of a seismic streamer cable employing an embodiment invention FIG. 4 is an isometric view of a locator which may be used in this invention; FIG. 5 is an isometric view in partial cross section illustrating one embodiment of a pressure-sensor assembly which may be employed in this invention.[ In the following detailed description and corresponding figures, like reference numerals will indicate like components, wherein FIG. 1 generally illustrates a ship 10 towing a streamer cable 12 through a body of water 14. Streamer cable 12 may be of any desired length up to 3 kilometers or more. The length of the streamer cable 12 may be changed by adding or subtracting cable sections 16 interconnected to each other by connectors 18. The distal end of the streamer cable 12 with respect to the ship 10, may have a positioning buoy coupled thereto by a length of cable 22 so that the location of the cable end may be determined visually, by radar or other positioning system known in the art. The proximal or near end of the streamer cable may be connected to the ship 10 by a lead-in cable section 24, which in turn is operably connected through a reel to a recording and control unit 26. FIGS. 2 and 3 are an isometric view of a streamer cable segment 28 representative of any one of the cable sections 16. Segment 28 is shown in quarter section to reveal the interior components. In one embodiment of the inventive streamer cable, each cable section 16 may be comprised of a tubular outer jacket 30 enclosing a foam-core 32 and 33. It is preferred that core 32 have an open-cell construction with approximately 30 cells per linear inch and extruded as a single piece. The core 32 may be made from a polyurethane having a specific gravity substantially equal to 0.9 grams per cubic centimeter (gm/cm3), but other plastics may be used having essentially the same properties. The transverse shape of the core may vary but FIG. 2 illustrates generally a cylindrical shape having an axial hole 34 and three off-axial holes 36 running the length of the member. The holes are preferably cut into the core 32 during the extrusion process. A cylindrical plug 38 cut from the axial hole 34 remains therein while the off-axial cylindrical pieces may be removed. Defined along the exterior of core 32 may be a plurality of longitudinal channels 40 equidistant from each other. FIG. 2 illustrates three such channels, each located along the exterior at approximately 120 degrees from each other and positioned between the off-axial holes 36. Core 32 and plug 38 are easily cut to the desired length by scissors or a hot knife. The open-cell foam core 32 extends substantially the length of a cable section 16. Refer to FIG. 3. Located at either end of the cable section 16 between the cable connector 18 and the open cell core 32 is a closed-cell foam 33. The length of the core insert 33 may vary, depending upon the weight of the cable at the connectors. The purpose of the closed-cell foam is to provided the proper amount of buoyancy to that portion of the cable proximate the connectors. The shape of the core 33 and the location of the holes in the closed cell foam are the same as in the open cell foam. Extending the length of each cable section 16 and received within each channel 40 of core 32 and 33 are stress members 42. Each stress member may be comprised of a twisted steel or nylon cable 44 within an extruded thermoplastic rubber shell 46. The shell 46 is preferably extruded directly over cable 44 in a shape so as to fit snugly within channel 40 inside jacket 30. For the purposes of example only the shape of the stress member may be oval or a curved rectangle. The stress members 42 are maintained in radial relationship to each other by a locator 48 shown in FIG. 4. Each locator 48 may be a plastic ring 50 molded from a polycarbonate blend to conform to the interior of jacket 30. The exterior of the locator may have channels 52 which align with channels 40 in the foam inserts. Disposed within axial hole 34 in the foam 32 at predetermined intervals along the cable section 16 may be a plurality of pressure sensors such as 54 shown in FIG. 2. It is preferred that a predetermined portion of the foam plug 38 be removed at these intervals and the sensors inserted. Each sensor 54 may be operably coupled to a predetermined set of conductors 56 and 58 comprising a portion of one of the transmission bundles 59 extending the length of the cable section through the off-axial holes 36. It is preferred that no sensors be located within the closed cell foam insert, however other electronic packages may be contained therein. FIG. 5 is an isometric view in partial cross section of a preferred pressure sensor 54. In the figure, the pressure sensor 54 may by comprised of a piezoelectric transducer 60 such as a WM2-036 hydrophone manufactured by the assignee of this invention, however other hydrophones may also be employed. The hydrophone is preferably disposed within an axial hole 62 of a cylindrical housing 64 having an outside diameter substantially greater than the diameter of axial hole 34. Housing 64 also is preferably molded from polyvinylchloride (PVC) to form a resilient capsule. The hydrophone may be centrally located and retained within the hole 62 by a plurality of lugs or mounts 66 mounted to the hydrophone 60. Although piezoelectric hydrophones are disclosed other types of sensors such as fiber optic transducers or accelerometers may be used. After all the components have been physically located with the polyurethane cable jacket 30 and sealed by the connectors 18 at each end, a cable oil such as light kerosene is added (not . The streamer cable 12 may be deployed and towed behind the ship 10 in the normal manner. Acoustic waves generated by a nearby source and reflected from subsurface layers of the earth impinge upon the streamer cable and are detected by the sensors 54 . The sensors 54 convert the received pressure pulse or pulses to electrical or optical signals which are transmitted through the bundles 59 to the recording and control unit 26. Cable noise typically associated with conventional cables is radically reduced. Tube waves generated by cable jerk within the cable are dispersed and dissipated by the polyurethane foam interior. The tube-wave energy is greatly reduced or absorbed by the many small scale interferences of the tube wave with itself resulting from the many collisions with the open cell network. Each cell in the core 32 acts to redirect a fraction of each tube wave so as to collide with another fraction thus preventing the tube wave to propagate and be detected by the sensors 54. Any tube wave noise that may reach sensors 54 is again reduced because of the absorbing tendency of the PVC housing 64 surrounding the transducer 60 Tube-wave noise originating near a sensor 54 may be reduced by being directed around the transducer by the conical ends 68 and 70 of housing as well as being absorbed by the PVC from which it is made. As mentioned earlier, it is preferred that the cylindrical housing 64 be made of PVC. This is because we found PVC has a greater characteristic for absorbing noise within the frequency spectrum of interest than any other materials tested; however, this is not to say that better materials do not exist. Noise associated with cable whip and/or vibration is also radically reduced because the stress members provide flexural rigidity to the length of the cable reducing the transverse whipping motion. Vibration of the cable stress member is additionally damped by the thermoplastic rubber shell extruded thereabout, adding flexural rigidity to the cable section. Noise generated from vibration or cable whip may develop is also absorbed by the polyurethane open cell foam interior. The closed cell foam disposed at the ends of the cable sections provide buoyancy at the cable connections. Without the closed cell foam, the weight of the connectors and electronic modules depress that portion of the streamer cable. The middle of the cable section, being more buoyant than the cable ends, has a tendency to float. Thus the profile of the streamer cable would have a wave or undular profile. To correct this profile, lead weights and dive planes are used to cause the streamer cable to be towed at a common depth. These external devices produce external cable noise which is undesirable. For illustrative purposes, our invention has been described with a certain degree of specificity. Variations will occur to those skilled in the art but which may be included within the scope and spirit of this invention which is limited only by the appended claims. Patent Citations

The staff are In this hotel were friendly and helpful specially Bryan, he is very nice, very sweet. Room service wa quick and breakfast was amazing. The stay in general was very pleasant. I do recommend it.
Location, access to times square and central park. Bed was comfortable as well.
Walking distance to Piers 92/94 and Subway access to Madison Square Gardens. We also went to the Broadway musical 'Wicked' which is very close to the hotel. Breakfast worked for us.
The cost of the hotel is more than we would normally pay, but the location is driving the price up as per the market value. Close to Times Square.
The hotel kindly moved is up 4 levels so we could have a better review. We where a young couple from Ireland visiting for the first time. The hotel brought us up champagne, chocolates and a card to wish us a nice Valentine's day, this made us both very happy and excited to spend our first Valentine's there.
Location was excellent...walkable to many sights.
Excellent sized rooms for a budget Manhatten hotel. Also despite reading negative reviews about the breakfast I found it substantial and I thought the disposable cutlery and plates were an excellent idea. Clean up time was minimised so happy eaters!!!!
All laundry was of a high standard but they could have done with getting a hoover with a bit more suction. That said the cleaning ladies were so polite it's hard to say anything negative about them!
It was centrally located and the staff were wonderful! The bed was the best hotel bed I've ever slept in!
All staff were extremely helpful and polite and nothing was to much trouble for anyone. Hotel was clean, warm and comfortable and room facilities very good. Location for us was spot on and we would definitely stay here again.
queuing and looking for somewhere to sit at breakfast.
Convenience to central Manhattan, Free WiFi, Breakfast included
Could be more on top of breakfast process (clearing and restocking) at peak times.
Great location. Buffet breakfast a plus. Staff very anxious to please, and professional. Could open window and have fresh air.
Location, wifi, free breakfast
It was dirty, loud when neighboring rooms were moving around.
the location of this hotel is excellent, easy access to everything. Staff were very helpful and nice.
the breakfast room is too small for such a big hotel, they should change the furniture/carpets (too old/mold smell).
My daughter and I went to an 8:00 p.m. showing of Wicked and didn't want to travel all the way home after the show. The hotel's location was perfect. The room was nice, as was the staff. My daughter and I enjoyed having a complimentary cup of tea and hot chocolate after coming in from the cold. We would definitely stay here again.
excellent location. very convinient for shopping and strolling in central park.
whats with the plastic cutleries on breakfast! but i dnt blame them because most hotels that we went to during the trip (including Hilton chains
Close to theater Rockefeller center and MoMA and more
The room was clean. We were able to adjust the room temperature at night so that we were comfortable. Breakfast was good but we were able to hear the employee's in the kitchen arguing, so we had to move away from the kitchen door. Parking was conveniently located.
Bathroom was small.
The availability of tea & coffee making facilities near reception and also the free wifi available with the stay. The large room with big bed also impressed me along with daily clean to the room.
The noise generated by other bedroom doors closing, very loud at times.
Location was good. Facilities were clean. Room was a good size but just for sleeping in, no room for the children to play.
Room was a little cold adjusting the temperature didn't seem to work that well. Bathroom was very small and not enough towels for the whole family. The place is very busy, you are just another number. As a family we prefer something that is a little more personal.

Small Indoor Freeflight ideas?
I'm just getting into indoor free flight. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. The one problem is that I only have access to a gym once a month. I'd like to be able to fly indoors more often. What I think I need is a small indoor plane that is not too advanced (I'm still a novice) that I can fly in a room just to give me some practice with tuning a model for the best flight. Anyone heard of a model that would meet my requirements? Something like the ready to fly Ikara Butterfly might do the trick, but I really enjoy building, so I'd prefer to find plans or a kit. Thanks in advance!
(I'm not sure if I should post this here or in the indoor and micro models forum. Since the indoor and micro models forum seems to be entirely rc, I thought I'd post here.) |
Mar 13, 2005, 02:56 PM | |
I'd go with a ministick or Parlor Mite. Parlor Mites and EZB's are available from Micro-X. Indoor model supply sells Parlor Mites, Ministicks, EZB's, pennyplanes, and a whole lot of other stuff. Whatever of those you get, buy some plastic film such as OS film (the lightest and hardest to work with), PPPlastic, Polymicro/Super Ultrafilm, or Ultrafilm. Ultrafilm is the easiest to work with, but is still fairly light. I've used Y2K, so OS film probably isn't terribly hard to use. With a good model, you can get 2+ minute flights in your living room.
The larger model below is what I call the Supermite. It weighs 347 mg and has a span of 11". It just made a new best flight of 10:30 yesterday. The small model weighs 80 mg and has a best flight of 1:47. Span is a mere 3". Both are covered with Y2K (no longer available and now obsolete). www.indoorduration.com has a bunch of info on indoor planes. Anything smaller than about 15" is easy to fly in a living room so long as it's light. The heavier they are, the smaller they have to be to be able to fly in a small room. Good flying, Joshua Finn |

Jwfinn, thanks for the information. I found indoor model supply's website, and like the looks of the mini stick kit. It'll be a challenge going from a 6.5g Science Olympiad plane to a ministick (maybe too much of a challenge...), but I'll give it a shot. Do you have any plans available for either of the the two models above? Thanks again!

I haven't produced plans for either of these yet. The little one really isn't that practical at this point, anyway. You can get plans for several of my models over at Small Flying Arts (www.smallflyingarts.com) in the plans section. The ministick and Parlor Mite Mk.I are good ones to start with, especially the parlor mite. Both are capable of 5+ under a high ceiling if built light. Good flying, Joshua Finn |
Mar 14, 2005, 10:46 PM | |
Just check over the instructions I included on that ministick. I think they are wrong. Anyway, the wing chord should be 2.5" or less and the span 7" or less. I don't know if I got it right in the instructions or not. As for the Parlor Mite MK II, the curves are easy to make. Just soak the wood in hot water, then wrap it around a curved surface. Foam is good, medicine bottles work, too. Andy Mitas did a nice job with this Czech design: http://www.smallflyingarts.com/cgi-b...7826;start=0#0 Beware that although the MKII has a simple structure, it is NOT and easy plane to build. Those wood sizes are intended to yield a plane weighing no more than .25 gram. If you can reach that, you'll be rewarded by 10+ minute flights, but the thing is insanely fragile. You'll have to attach the covering with spray adhesive, but that's not real hard. The model I showed with the built-up prop is the MKI with a modified tail. It's best flight was 3:50 under a 20' ceiling. But that was long ago when I didn't know what I was doing...As if I do now! Good flying, Joshua Finn |

Thanks for the advice about balsa curving. I noticed some talk about the plan for the Scofflaw indoor plane by Stukadave on the smallflyingarts.com forum (link above) and built it. Here is a link to the plan. . Quick build. I used very light wood and a produce bag for covering. Haven't had a chance to weigh it, but I have been able to fly it around the living room. Like the plan says, it's not a competition plane, but it is fun (and provided good practive with stripping wood and working without a miniumum weight). I'll try and get a picture of it up tonight.

While there is no proven correlation between the quality of one's educational institution and the quality of one's professional competence, it is often an indicator. Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.
Patients may also know Dr. Ryan Wanamaker MD as:

Grand Prairie, Texas--- The No. 16 Nebraska wrestling team won all three duals they participated in on Saturday, Jan. 15, at the Lone Star duals in Grand Prairie, Texas. The Huskers, who defeated Utah Valley earlier in the first session of the day, defeated Stanford and Brown in the afternoon to improve their season record to 9-2.
In their match against Stanford, the Huskers used a technical fall victory from No. 11 Tucker Lane (NU) to rally back and defeat the Cardinal by a 19-17 count. Entering the 184-pound match trailing by three team points, the Huskers' Josh Ihnen (184) tied the dual with his 2-1 victory over Spence Patrick (Stan.).* NU couldn't pull ahead in the next match as senior Andy Johnson (NU) fell to No. 10 Zack Giesen (Stan.) by a 10-4 decision to give the Cardinal a three-point lead.
With the Huskers needing a bonus-point victory to win the dual, Lane came through for the Huskers by defeating Alen Yen (Stan.), 18-2, in the heavyweight bout. The dual-clinching victory gave Lane his first technical fall of the season.
Earlier in the dual, Ridge Kiley (NU) got the Huskers their first three points with his upset of No. 18 Justin Paulsen (Stan.) in second sudden-victory period, while Mike Koehnlein (NU) picked up his second victory of the day by taking down Jordan Gray (Stan.) at 141-pounds. Jordan Burroughs was the other Husker to get a win as he defeated Garrett Schaner (Stan) by technical fall, 24-7.
In their last dual of the night, the Huskers jumped on the Brown Bears right out of the gate by winning the first three matches. David Klingsheim (125), Kiley (133) and Koehnlein (141) gave the Huskers a 10-0 lead, before Brown's Giuseppi Lanzi defeated Ross Grande to put the Bears on the scoreboard.
After Grande's defeat, the Huskers won the last six matches of the dual, with four of those being bonus point victories. Burroughs pinned Dave Foxen (BU) for his sixth pin of the season, while Cody Compton (NU) defeated Pat Labuz (BU) at the 157-pound match for his first victory of the day. The Huskers also got major decision victories from Kolb, Ihnen and Lane to round out the action. Burroughs, Lane and Ihnen all went 3-0 on the day for Nebraska.
The Huskers return to action on Friday, Jan. 21, when they will travel to Madison, Wisc., to take on the Wisconsin Badgers at 7 p.m. The match against the Badgers will be available on the Big Ten Network.

Product Reviews

Yes, the video does have a release date in 2007, NOT my point. The point was that Disney bothered to include a Link on their CURRENT Halloweentime page to this video AT ALL. The question STILL REMAINS, why would Disney include a link to a video which DOES feature "Screams", if they were not intending on doing it again this year.
I saw it once, and (as someone who makes films) found it unwatchably bad. Pretty pictures and a decent song don't excuse an error-filled, stereotype-laden, really lousy script. It was a waste of space and a waste of the nice architecture. If this is the best thing at DCA, I think that says more about the quality of the park than the quality of the attraction. It will not be missed.
I would like to know the errors, stereotypes, and "lousy" writing, myself. I think the biggest criticisms of the film are usually made by people who don't really know who Queen Calafia is. And, the attraction actually should have explained that aspect better. The pre-show would have been a perfect place to do so.
Queen Calafia is the Amazonian goddess ruler of the mythical island paradise of California that was described in the 15th-Century Spanish novel, The Exploits of Esplandian.
When Spanish explorers found what is now the Golden State, they referred to it as the California from the novel. So, since Queen Calafia is immortal and omniscient, she appears throughout the film to inspire at important moments in California's history the various idealists and dreamers who have been drawn to this unique place.

Excuse me. There were no stereotypes, most things were spoken by their own people. It is the best quality item of DCA and I am shocked that so many people see it that way. Beautiful design and I cry every time I see the montage. I don't see how you people miss the quality and the value has obviously been wasted.

I thought it was a nice, different attraction that provided an enjoyable little experience.
I really like the dome and the architecture of the building, and the queue looks nice and has some great music in it. It's a shame that most just passed this one by, because it really does have some nice, memorable aspects to it.
I'm not sad that it's going but I'd wish that it's early departure meant that they would start construction sooner on TLM ... And just my two cents on the montage...HORRIBLE! The music alone makes me want to barf.
Well, I went and watched it for the last time today. As a California lifer I always enjoyed it!
I dont follow? Tearing down an unpopular attraction and clearing all of land around it, and putting in one of the most expansively elaborate Omni-mover attractions since Mansion is a Dumb Idea? Just one scene of the ride is going to take place in the entire Golden Dreams Theater. I am glad they are finally replacing unpopular attractions with much larger fanciful ones, just like Walt Disney did with Tomorrowland in the 1950's and 1960's.
While I dont care either way for Golden Dreams, I am sad that it is an addition through subtraction however small the attraction is it will be missed.
I also dont like how they are closing it without immediate construction.
Thanks for posting that. I always go see it when bringing someone new to the park. It's a great history lesson without being preachy or boring. The Asian bride who discovers her husband is an old man and the closing montage always make me cry. I'm just sentimental, that way.
I'll be sorry to see it go. Too bad it wasn't in a better location. Maybe it'll be released on DVD sometime.
