The script didn't go according to plan for Jimmie Johnson -- and for the No. 48 team, that's becoming more commonplace this year. Johnson had what appeared to be the dominant car once again at Kentucky Speedway on Sunday. But a late-race caution ignited by Brian Vickers slamming into the wall set the scene for a 21-lap shootout won by Matt Kenseth after the No. 20 team elected not to take tires in his final pit stop. "The 20 should be penalized for (expletive) everybody on that (expletive) restart," said Johnson, who slowed on the start in an effort not to pass Kenseth and was shuffled back from the front. As the field came around Turn 2, with Logano to the inside of the No. 48 Chevy, Johnson lost control of his car and went for a spin. Following the race, the five-time champion still wasn't sure what happened. "We were kind of in an awkward situation in that restart there," Johnson said. "And then we were like three and four wide going in the corner, then something happened wit...

Challenges Faced By The Personal Mangement Business Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The personal management basically deals with ones ability to map a plan for his/her life that could involve setting short-range and long-range goals and investigating variuos possibility to attain those goals.
In organizations, a workforce is required which that monitorthe safety and performance of employee who are actually part of the process. So, basically when a group of people are engaged in this assignment, they are actually part of the personal management.
The role of a personal manager involves staffing people, must also focus on shortlisting and interviewing applicants and also focusing on the individuals, so that the people could be placed throughout the organisation according to their skills.Another area of functionality being participation in designing of policies and procedures which relate to personnel is another important aspect of the personnel management process. The personnel management team's area of functionality also extends tohandling any healthcare program offered to the employees.
Also drafting of the company handbook requires assistance from the personal management group. The company policies relating to employee appraisal, dress code, staff requirement and disciplinary procedure has to be defined by the team of personal management.
HR Management
Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and comprehensible approach to handle thecompany's most esteemed assets - the group of personnel working in close combination toward the common goal of the success of the company. The terminology "human resource management" and "human resources" (HR) has in recent years replaced the "personnel management" as a definition of the procedures that involves handling people in company. Human resources management and welfare also reflects the quality of the internal processes of the company.
The HRM strategy refers to the ways in which the effective implementation of specific functions of HRM is carried out.
Basically an HRM strategy consists of (Personal Management, 2010):
Best fit and Best Practice
Close collaboration between HR and top/senior management official to develop the corporate strategy.
Continual monitoring of the strategy, via employee feedback, surveys, etc.
The HRM strategy could be further broken down to - the people strategy and the HR functional strategy. The strategy relating to the people refers to association HRM policies to achieve the target defined by the corporate strategy. The HR department is also responsible to analyse the policies practised by the HR department itself, so that the progress of employee within Hr group could be monitored to make sure that he department's own targets are met.
Task 2 and 3
Recruitment Process: The major area of recruitment within my store, whose nature of business is very close to that of ASDA, Tesco and Sainsbury will be bakery, customer service, pharmacist, and checkout staff, till operators, stock handlers, supervisor, Floor manager and Store manager. Its distribution depots require people skilled in stock management and logistics.
The company will have strict hiring policy which will not compromise in terms of the expected profile of the employees and if the desired profile is not found then the position would remain vacant until right candidates fill the position. The employees would al if they refer the right candidate for position within the.
The elasticity in the recruitment processwould definitelyassistin the direction of employee satisfaction, which would allow the employees choose their jobs and designations. Though the company'srecruitment process might be costly and slow but it will get more than what it would get in a traditional model from the employees
First of all the job description and person requirement and skill necessary will be defined for the advertisement of the vacancy, which is been provided below:
Job Title
Responsibility toward the job
Responsibility towards the organisation
Details of role and functionality
Recruitment alsoincludesfascinating the right standard of applicants to apply for vacancies, which could be done by mentioning the benefits and bonuses and career growth which could be offered to the competitive personnel.
The overall recruitment process is been depicted in the flow chart below in figure 1.
As could be seen from the flow chart below initially the positions will be advertised in local newspaper and website with all the desired skill and job role and benefits defined. The CV and cover will be asked in the initial stage to narrow the search for ideal candidate. In the second stage self-assessment form asking about candidate's previous experience in the similar environment, ability to perform well under pressure and many other relevant things will be asked, which would allow further narrowing of the candidates. After this stage the selected candidates will be invited for the technical interview by the senior official, finally the selected candidates will be called for the HR interview where the documentation will be checked and the right candidates will be offered position within the organisation and will be provided training to get accompanied with the nature of the business.
The training process will be intense and highly competitive to make most of its employee i.e. making them more yielding terms of result with the trainers being dedicated for sales for each store. The training will not just be on job but would also include a formal training before going on job to make sure the employee is ready to serve the customers in an educated and informed way. The training could be stretched as far as 235 Hrs. for full time employees with follow up training of 160 Hrs. annually thereafter while the part timers go through a stringent 100 Hrs. training before they can report to duties, which is almost equal to around 2 weeks of training for just a part time employee
In any large organization such as the supermarket, the human resources department is led by the director who heads many sub branches within the store like recruitment, training and development, labor relations and welfare. The divisions will be led by managers and the managers would bein charge for the performance of their division which will be under the supervisionof the HR director. The divisions perform the following duties as follows:
The recruitment managersgenerally are involved in recruiting new staff in various divisions like shortlisting, interviewing, selection and hiring operations which are furtherlooked by specialists.
The Training and Development managers are concerned with training the employees to the required skill level as per the job requirement. The managers in the project teams propose the HR department for resources and the requests are redirected by the HR director to the concerned divisions for appropriate training. The training and development manager is also responsible for updating the skills of the existing employees to cater to the need of the future projects which might require employee to perform differently from his/her routine task(Pettengell, 2008).
Figure : Recruitment process for my new store(Quality Process)
Staff Retention: Usually there is always resignation from the employee upon finding the lucrative offer, which some time cloud lead to staff shortage, however a modestamount of staff turnover is assumed to be good for a business; organization must always be ready for such situation or being more precise it could be said that the organizations must have solid strategy to retain employee with them by offering training and development, good perks, bonuses and promotion or holiday packages. If not performed quickly and according to the planned strategy the shortage of staff due to resignation could prove to be very costly which could lead to the lack of morale within the organization lowered reputation in market and reduced sale.
The important step in strategy must always be to figure out the cause behind the people leaving the organization. It's quite possible that there might be reasons like an attractive new job or a chance to remodel their standard of living by working on projects outside of mainstream work. However, most of the resignation is due to the dissatisfaction with the current job due to one or the other reason.
Some of the main reason for people leaving job are stated below:
Low salary and Benefits
Lack of required training and career progression opportunity
Disappointment with management
Dispute within colleagues
Unbearable journey
Lack of work/life balance
Usually, company do try to organise 'Exit Interview' to work put the cause by analysing the reason pointed put by the individual but generally these interviews are not very fruitful as people in lieu of obtaining descent reference modify their reason of leaving. However, through and proper analysis of the data provided can provide valuable feedback which further could be used to device the strategy to check such departure. (Staff Retention).
Some of the ways in which the staff retention could be improved have been outlined below which could be practised as single element or a combination of many elements depending upon the feedback from the exit interview (Staff Retention).
Making sure that the recruited candidate is aware of the nature of the business and job responsibility
Offering opportunities of career growth
Effective appraisals
Recruiting people from different ethnic origin i.e. focusing in diversity.
Taking measure to check abuse of employee.
A good work/life balance.
Designing a methodology which allows employees to register dissatisfaction, whether it isassessments, complaint proceeding and so on.
Leadership training for managers.
Legal and Ethical Issue:
Some of the ethics that would be incorporated in the organisation have been discussed below (Talking Tesco):
Employment is freely chosen
Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining are respected
Safe and hygienic work place
Prohibition of child labour
Good wages are paid to support living
Sufficient working hours
Dealing discriminationstrictly
Creating employment
No harsh or inhumane treatment is allowed
The resolution would oblige company to appoint independent auditors to ensure that workers in its supplier factories and farms are guaranteed "decent working conditions, a living wage, job security" and the right to join a trade union of their choice. Also legal issues are equally important within the organisation from point of view of changes in policy in home country, political instability, foreign trade policy, taxation policy, bank interest rate, inflation, export and import charges.
Task 3
Disciplinary Procedure: It is not always easy to fire someone legally.Now a days Laws and cases have become more defensivefor the member of staff. However the "at will" policy is still widespread, still there could be exemptions. With, employees increasingly dragging managers and companies to law for "unlawful dismissal," nuisance, prejudice, and other reasons, proper reason must be obtained before termination an employee as lawsuit could get expensive and disgusting which also some time leads to negative public image.
Some of the most appropriate reasons have been outlined below: (Work Force Management Termination):
Consistent incompetence: If an employee work is not at competitive level of which he is been told and provided opportunity to work it put but in spite of it if the employee fails to improve his/her work attitude termination would be seen as appropriate decision
Violation of company policy: If an employee tends to adhere the organizations policy, in legal or nay other matter with intention then the termination could proceed without any hindrance. Violation of anti-harassment, prejudice, or secrecy policies is particularly actionable.
Repeated unexcused absenteeism or tardiness: Repeated absence from the work of which the employee has been communicated by the senior official to which his/her response has not been satisfactory termination could proceed. But before terminating the employee must be offered an opportunity to defend, proper investigation must be carried out. If they're the result of a medical condition, then the termination couldnot proceed.
Physical violence: In case when an employee does physical abuse or threatens his/her colleague, termination must be done immediately. All employees reserve the right to a safe work environment, and employers should ensure that the work place is safe and sound for their employee.
Drugs and alcohol: In case when an employee is found to be under the influence of drugs other then prescribed immediate suspension or dismissal could take place. But mostly employers refrain from terminating an employee alternative of which is rehabilitation or counselling.
Illegal acts: In case when employees are engaged in theft or fraud, immediate termination is justified. Before the accused employee is fired it should be made sure that all the facts have been acquired and employee's side of story has been heard,
Falsified information: If an employee provides false information during the recruitment process like work employment history, fake degree etc. When it's discovered and the falsification appears thoughtful and material, dismissal from job is usually justified.
Based on the above discussion Paul Wilkinson's termination is justifiable on the basis of above discussion in point 3, which deals with the continued absence from the work. Hence the Paul's has already been communicated regarding his absence to which his response was not found satisfactory a disciplinary action leading to termination would be more appropriate. To execute this process an official report has to be acquired which contains appraisal from Paul's senior official, if this absence is been highly condemned in the report and provided enough evidence of inconvenience caused due to Paul's work style, termination could proceed easily. Alternatively a Paul could be given a second chance if successfully provides reasonable evidence which obstructed him from working regularly, a failure to do so has to dealt under the policies defined in the disciplinary action. The company must have adequate document to fire Paul, if in case Paul tries to sue his employer these document must be provided for the sake of justification.
No employer appreciates its employee's stealing from them. No matter what the amount of theft is, theft costing as small as notepads, pens or small sum of money missing from the till or an attempt made to do fraud with the employer, any of these outlined and many other at are unappreciable under any circumstances. Any such behaviour could lead to termination or suspension depending upon the magnitude of the theft.
Although there is disciplinary action defined for the stealing employees but employer needs to make sure that they have concrete proof against the individual to proceed with any kind of legal action. As, condemning any individual of theft without sufficient evidence could lead to legal action or even the management could be sued for this nuisances. However, with the aid of CCTV or computer records one could be established guilty of theft.
Sheena's offence definitely comes under disciplinary procedure and has to deal accordingly. Sheena must be asked to justify her act or should be compelled to reveal the name of other colleagues who are encouraging such type of unacceptable behaviour within the organization. Evidence must be provided to Sheena before taking any action. If enough evidence are available from CCTV or Computer Record Sheena could be fired for her unprofessional behaviour.
Conclusion: The personal management and Human Resource Management aretwo very important branch of any organization. Having been engaged in the most of the activity within the company its absence could cost in terms of business. Hiring right candidate and providing them efficient training is a basis of company's success. Further the effective communication between employee and employer is very necessary to check the staff retention.

In a close contest, like the see-saw battle being played out between India and Australia, unforced errors prove decisive. India escaped paying the price despite committing some cardinal errors in Ranchi. A similar poor show at Nagpur would mean curtains in the ODI series.
The Men in Blue put down as many as five catches to allow the Australian batsmen make a strong recovery from a poor start. George Bailey was dropped on the first ball and Glenn Maxwell in the 40s. The two went on to score 98 and 92, respectively.
The Indian innings was rained off, but the poor show has been playing heavy on the minds of the coaching staff as they get ready for the final two games. In the team's first training session after arriving in Nagpur for the sixth ODI, a do-or-die tie for the hosts, the focus was on fielding drills. In, so far, the most serious fielding practice of the series, the players were divided in three groups with Duncan Fletcher honing the skills of the slip catchers, Trevor Penny working on the fielders in the point region while Ravindra Jadeja was given the responsibility of hitting high catches.
R Ashwin, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma spent most of the time in slips; Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli were taking catches off the cut shot, and the others were running for high catches and ground fielding. Kohli, who had dropped Bailey on zero in the slips, later had a one-on-one slip catching session with Fletcher.
The poor fielding effort at Ranchi was a cause of concern for it was more out of complacency than ability. This team is among the best fielding sides in India's history with the likes of Kohli, Rohit, Raina, Jadeja and Dhawan providing strong legs and speed in the inner ring as well as in marshalling the outfield. Among the bowlers, except for Ashwin, the rest are competent fielders in the deep. Add a rejuvenated Yuvraj and MS Dhoni's safe pair of gloves, India, for once, can boast of a competent fielding unit. More importantly, at Nagpur, the bowlers will need all the support from the fielders for the wicket is expected to be a belter. Trailing 1-2, it leaves India no margin for error. Dhoni's men cannot afford any more slip ups in the field.

Sorry, dudes, but there's just no way I'm going to be able to take pictures of the gown this morning. I'll just have to make sure someone gets a couple shots at the wedding. I always feel like an idiot asking people to take pictures of me, but whatever, you all have spoken and I'm not getting away with some headless photos this time around. I'm afraid you're going to be seriously disappointed though – we fly in HOURS before the wedding. And Keith will be whisked away to pick up his tux and do groomsman duties, so I don't really anticipate having a relaxed primping session. Like, expect a ponytail. Anyway . . . at least the dress is done, right? And you'll see the finished product on Monday. Toodleloo!
My hair will not look this good.

Trotternish is well known for its musical heritage and rooted culture and so it was appropriate that a festival of world-class music was held in Linicro last weekend. All bands had a connection with Trotternish, or more specifically with Whitewave where Ceol on the Croft found its home.
The festivities started early in the week with the arrival of four students from Benbecula Music College who worked over Wednesday and Thursday evenings with seven local primary age youngsters to produce a short set which was performed twice over the weekend.
Friday afternoon kicked off the performances with a free show for invited guests from north-end primary schools, pre-school groups and members of the wider Trotternish community. 'Ceòl Beag' gave a taste of what was to come in the evenings ahead with input from the Mischa MacPherson Trio (this year's winners of the BBC 2 Young Folk Musicians of the Year), Colum Sands from Northern Ireland, Skye's own Sara Naylor (joined by her fiancé Felix) and Angus MacKenzie on pipes.
The great Ceitidh Douglas was joined on stage by her Dad and Smith to start off the Friday concert which finished with an incredible set by Daimh Mòr. DJs Shaka warmed up the early arrivals on Saturday with some summer grooves before the 'Ceòl on the Croft Pipe Band' struck up — a heady mix of pipers from all the performing bands with a few local youngsters to keep them right.
Donald Macdonald and the Islands notched the tent up a gear or two with their energetic but soulful performance prior to Breabach's outstanding set which was all that the audience could have wished for! In true north-end style the concert was followed by a dance to the mighty Glenfinnan Ceilidh Band. A superb weekend of music and craic!

Great experience! Groceries delivered to your hotel... What could be better! Same foods as we get at home too! Healthy organic options... Which are great when trying to have your family eat healthy on vacation!
It was very easy to select the foods I needed on line, prior to my vacation at Disney World . Everything was waiting for me at Bell Services when I arrived. I would highly recommend Garden Grocer if you are trying to keep food costs at Disney World to a minimum. We got to eat our breakfast in our villa saving time and money. Also we could take snacks with us into the parks and did not have to spend money on them, saving us money because snacks in the park are expensive. I would definitely do this again when visiting Disney World. Everything we purchased from Garden Grocer was fresh and of high quality.
This is a great service. We are DVC members so we always have cooking facilities and usually do not have a car. Being able to get groceries delivered is a savings over eating out for all our meals.

The nation's highest court on Wednesday considered whether police should be able to forcibly draw the blood of a motorist without a warrant. Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments in the case of Missouri v. McNeely to decide whether Tyler McNeely's constitutional rights were violated when he was taken to a hospital for a blood draw after a state patrolman accused him of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in October 2010.
"The issue in this case is whether the state may stick a needle in the arm of everyone arrested on suspicion of drunk driving without a warrant and without consent," McNeely's lawyer, Steven R. Shapiro, argued. "Missouri's answer to that question is yes, even in routine DWI cases like this and regardless of how quickly and easily a warrant could be obtained."

Councils in Northern Ireland achieved a 42.2% municipal recycling and composting rate in 2015/16, according to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.
Published yesterday (1 December), the annual statistical report shows that in total, Northern Ireland's councils collected 969,157 tonnes of local authority collected (LAC) municipal waste in 2015/16.
The tonnage was a 1.9% increase on the 951,423 tonnes collected in 2014/15. Household waste accounted for 88.8% of total LAC municipal waste.
Chair of Mid Ulster district council, cllr Trevor Wilson and chair of the Environment Committee, cllr Clement Cuthbertson at the Drumcoo Recycling Centre, Dungannon.
According to the report, 42.2% of household waste was sent for processing for reuse, dry recycling and composting – marginally above the 2014/15 rate of 42.0%.
In 2015/16, the tonnage of LAC municipal waste sent for preparing for reuse, dry recycling and composting reached a 'record high' at 405,414 tonnes. At council level, the recycling varied from 33.3% in Derry City & Strabane to the highest rate in Mid Ulster at 49.6%.
The LAC municipal waste energy recovery rate was 17.6%, an increase of 2.7 percentage points on the 14.9% recorded in 2014/15. Derry City & Strabane had the highest energy recovery rate in 2015/16 at 37.2% whilst the lowest was 1.2% in Fermanagh & Omagh.

Northern Ireland also recorded a new low of 39.7% landfill rate for household waste in 2015/16, a drop of 3 percentage points on the 2014/15 rate (42.7%) and a fall from 72.3% in 2006/07.
Recycling rate
Commenting on reaching the highest reuse, dry recycling and composting rate, a Mid Ulster district council spokesperson said: "Mid Ulster District Council operates a very straight-forward waste collection service across the district in the form of a three bin service collected fortnightly. (blue – mixed, dry recyclables, black – residual waste, brown – garden, kitchen and food waste).
"This three bin service is capable of delivering 50% of the recycling and composting of Council waste. We also operate 12 recycling centres across the district, all open to the public.
"Mid Ulster District Council continues to reduce the amount of waste it sends to landfill which not only helps recycling figures but is a much more sustainable approach to waste management. In fact, by 2020 the Council plans not to be sending any waste directly to landfill."
Environment minister Michelle McIlveen chose to highlight the reduction in landfill rates. Miss McIlveen said: "These figures, the lowest for 10 years, demonstrate that the continuing momentum to divert waste from landfill will significantly benefit our environment. However, the figures also indicate a levelling off of the recycling rate.
"By not recycling more we are missing out on opportunities to maximise the value of waste. Recycled materials provide resources for the manufacturing industry that will result in greater opportunities for the local economy and increase employment opportunities."
The minister added: "I would encourage more householders to think 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. With a little extra effort from all of us, we can collectively make a positive contribution. I believe we as a society can do even better and by playing our part we can help to improve the environment and support the local economy."

How To Clean the iPhone 4 Camera Lens
The larger lens on the iPhone 4 and 4S camera is still tiny. The actual lens itself is shielded by an external lens case. While the lens covering is about 5 mm, the lens itself is about than 2 mm– simply a little bigger than the head of a pin. Even a small smudge or a fingerprint on your lens could really effect the quality of your images. Additionally, the iPhone 4S' lens case is not recessed as in previous iPhones. It's rather much flush with the back of the phones case, making it even much easier to obtain smudged and dirty. The good news is, keeping the iPhone 4S' lens clean is even much easier than previous designs.
The flush lens covering is both good and bad. It's bad in that it's much easier to accidentally smear and get fingerprints. It's much better, however, since it's incredibly effortless to cleanse. It additionally seems to be sturdier than previous lens cases. You can review about cleaning the lens of your iPhone 2G, 3G or 3GS in one of our previous Method posts right here.
To cleanse the iPhone's lens, Apple advises that you make use of a microfiber polishing cloth, such as the one that has the iPhone or one that you would utilize to clean the lenses of a pair of spectacles. For me, a fast breath on the lens case includes simply the right amount of wetness to manage practically any sort of dust or smudges. I then very carefully clean the casing with a flat component of the fabric, using small, soft circles as if I were polishing the lens. In order to maintain brightness, remember to cleanse the flash near the lens.
Because the gadget is a phone after all, the lens of the front camera will probably get grimy much faster. Use this exact same method to clean the lens of the brand-new front camera too. Do not have a microfiber cloth convenient? A soft, well-worn, old cotton T-shirt additionally works well in a pinch. Regardless of what people tell you about how soft tissue or toilet paper is, they're still made from wood pulp and do not compare to the softness of the synthetic materials made use of in microfiber fabrics. Although the iPhone 4S lens casing seems more rugged, you don't wish to run the risk of scratching it and permanently destructive your camera.
Some photographers could utilize an extremely small amount of alcohol-based liquid lens cleaner and a Q-Tip cotton swab to clean their lens, however as my dad– a really traditional analog photographer– mentioned to me, you don't want to risk any fluids getting inside your lens, even a small amount. It looks like the iPhone 4S lens casing now has an interior anti-reflective coating, which is an additional potential location for moisture to permeate into the lens, causing long-lasting (and warranty-voiding) damages.
You must never ever clean the iPhone 4S front camera, touch screen (or any other component of the iPhone) with any sort of kind of fluid or aerosol cleaners, especially those which consist of alcohol, ammonia or various other solvents or extreme components. These typical household cleaners could harm your iPhone 4 or 4S' delicate, oil-repelling touch screen.

The present invention relates to a suspension system which may be employed for a bicycle, tricycle, wheelchair or other human-powered vehicle.
Increased interest in long distance bicycling and bicycling over rugged terrain have brought about several attempts to reduce the rigors of such bicycling by providing a suspension system integral to the bicycle frame. A fundamental problem of providing significant additional comfort via a suspension system, is the addition of significant additional weight and the loss of efficiency. Additional weight is undesirable in the context of human-powered vehicles.
Lawwill U.S. Pat. No. 4,789,174 illustrates a bicycle having a suspension system which comprises an elaborate multi-pivoted interconnection of swing arms, control arms and hub plates configured in a trapezoidal arrangement and connected to a bicycle seat riser tube. The multi-pivoted trapezoidal configuration facilitates the application of balanced forces to the rear wheel from the chain during pedaling. A shock absorber connected to the swing arms in the trapezoidal configuration absorbs shocks during riding. The Lawwill suspension system however, because of the elaborate trapezoidal arrangement and the numerous pivot points and associated hardware required for implementation, adds significant weight to the bicycle frame.
A bicycle rear wheel suspension system having a shock absorber mounted coaxially inside a top frame tube is disclosed in Shuler U.S. Pat. No. 4,679,811. The shock absorber is anchored at one end to a double pivoted swing arm rear wheel mount. On-demand mode selection provides selection of a rigid/nonsuspension rear wheel or a spring/suspension rear wheel by means of a remote actuated cylinder disposed inside the shock absorber. The double pivot and the actuated cylinder mode selectable shock absorber, add significant undesirable weight in this implementation.
Other bicycle frame suspension systems incorporating shock absorbers are known in the art, such as the frame illustrated in FIG. 1. Such a frame avoids the elaborate configurations taught in Lawwill and Shuler, and the associated additional weight. The frame of FIG. 1 is typically made from tubing of aluminum or chromium molybdenum steel alloy, for light weight, and has a triangular configuration 10 comprising an elevated chainstay 12 pivotably mounted to the seat riser tube 14. The triangular configuration 10 is further connected to the seat riser tube 14 by a shock absorber 16. Such a configuration relies on a pivot 18 and the resiliency of the shock absorber 16, to provide suitable suspension and to maximize energy transfer, by the chain, to the rear wheel during pedaling. This prior art configuration, although implemented in lightweight tubing for weight considerations, has the integral pivot 18 which must be big and heavy to withstand the significant forces exerted upon it. Such a pivot adds considerable complexity to frame construction, has negligible resiliency to aid in shock absorbtion and also adds significant additional weight. Further, because the triangular member pivots freely, but for the constraint of the shock absorber, the shock absorber alone facilitates the resiliency of the triangular member. As the shock absorber is the only resilient component in this suspension system, it is required to be larger and heavier to withstand extended use.
According to the present invention a lightweight bicycle frame is provided having a pivotless suspension system which comprises a shock absorber integral to the frame and an inherently resilient structural member to assist in the suspension system.
An adjustable air spring is mounted integral to a seat stay and comprises means for selectably pumping and venting the air spring to increase or decrease shock stiffness.
A titanium frame embodiment is disclosed comprising either a standard or elevated resilient chainstay acting as the resilient structural member, assisting the air spring in the suspension system. A bump driven pump for the air spring, handlebar control of pumping and venting, and a locking means for effectively nullifying the suspension are provided.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent in light of the following detailed description of an illustrative embodiment thereof, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a prior art bicycle suspension system incorporating a pivot;
FIG. 2 is a side view of a pivotless bicycle suspension system;
FIG. 2A is a rear view of an integral shock absorber and seatstay mount;
FIG. 2B is a rear view of the integral shock absorber of FIG. 2A having cylinders mounted for an hydraulic dampener;
FIG. 2C is a rear view of the integral shock absorber of FIG. 2A having an enclosing flexible tube.
FIG. 3 is a side view of a pivotless bicycle suspension system, embodied in a frame having an elevated chainstay; and
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of an air spring pumping and venting system for the bicycle suspension system.
Referring now to FIG. 2, one embodiment of a bicycle suspension system according to the invention is preferably implemented as a tubular frame 20 constructed of titanium alloy, Ti 3-2.5, comprising 3% aluminum and 2.5% vanadium. This titanium alloy has a high strength-to-weight ratio and because of its weldability it is suitable for the construction of bicycle frames using seamless tubing. In addition to its weldability, such titanium has the desirable characteristics of great fatigue life, corrosion resistance and most importantly, resilience.
The frame 20 comprises a seat riser tube 22 having a bottom bracket housing 24 at a bottom end. A toptube 26 is welded near the top of the seat riser tube 22 and is welded at an opposing end to a front fork pivot tube 28. A downtube 30 is welded at one end to the front fork pivot tube 28 and at a second end to the bottom bracket housing 24. A pair of chainstays 32 are welded to the bottom bracket housing 24, each one having a wheel mount, such as a dropout 34 fixed at the opposite end thereof. A seatstay 36 is welded to the seat riser tube 22 near the top and as illustrated in FIG. 2A is furcated and has a mounting portion 38. A top portion of an air spring 40 is connected to the mounting portion 38 of the seatstay 36. The mounting portion 38 has a void therethrough to accommodate an air valve 41 for inflating the air spring 40. A second mounting portion 42 of a furcated lower section 44 of the seatstay 36 is attached to a bottom portion of the air spring 40. Each tube of the furcated lower section 44 of the seatstay 36 is welded to a respective dropout 34.
The air spring 40 facilitates rear wheel motion, especially in a plane perpendicular to the riding surface and has sufficient wall strength which tends to preclude significant lateral motion. Assisting the air spring 40 in the suspension system is a resilient structural member, in this case the pair of chainstays 32. The inherent flex capability of the chainstays 32 further facilitates suspension travel of the rear wheel, supplementing the function of a main spring provided in the form of air spring 40. In the suspension system according to the invention, the inherent flex of the chainstays effects the function of a pivot, i.e. permitting motion in one or more planes while limiting motion in one or more others, while avoiding the weight and complexity of a pivot. While the illustrative embodiment of FIG. 2 shows a suspension system according to the invention in the context of a frame having a standard chainstay, the same could be implemented in an elevated chainstay configuration as illustrated in FIG. 3.
Preferably, the resilient structural member, i.e. the chainstays, are fabricated as indicated hereinabove using Ti 3-2.5. The chainstays are about 0.750 inches in diameter and constructed using tubing having a wall thickness of about 0.039 inches. It is desirable to construct each of the forks of the lower furcated section 44 of the seatstay 36 using the same material and dimensions. By adjusting air pressure in the air spring 40 via air valve 41, and by introducing a travel stop, the overall travel at the rear wheel can vary in a range from about 0.250 inches to about 3.0 inches.
As illustrated in FIG. 2B the frame 20 according to the invention may be provided with one or more dampener cylinders 46. The dampener cylinders are hydraulic cylinders as known in the art, which provide additional suspension assist and act as travel stops to limit the wheel travel to within the limits discussed hereinabove. The cylinders have posts 48 which are attached to each tube of the lower furcated section 44 of seatstay 36. Reinforcements 50 may be provided to preserve the integrity of the tubes of the lower furcate section 44. As the dampener cylinders may not be necessary in the suspension system according to the invention and as they may provide added undesirable weight, a simple travel limiting strap, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, which can be manually adjusted, may be desirable.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 2C, the air spring 40 may be enclosed in a flexible tube or sock 43. Such an enclosure is constructed of flexibly compressable material which is inelastic so as to not stretch, therefore, the sock 43 may act as a travel limit. Additionally, the sock 43 provides a relatively clean and dry enclosure for air spring 40 or other shock absorber.
Referring now to FIG. 2, the suspension system is provided with a bump actuated pump 52 which will inflate the air spring 40, via valve 41, in lieu of manual inflation. The pump 52, a standard air pump known in the art, is mounted via pump mount 54 to the second mounting portion 42 of the furcated lower section 44 of the seatstay 36 or to a removable crossmount attached to the furcated lower section 44. A top pump mount 56 is mechanically fastened to the seat riser tube 22, such as by a weld or removable clamp, above the seatstay tube 36. The top pump mount accommodates a pump air escape 58 through which air is pumped. The air escape 58 from the pump goes into a control box 60 which may be mounted in or on the seat riser tube 22. The control box 60 effects three modes of air spring operation: pump, hold and vent, by effecting a valve switching mechanism. An air line 62 extends from the control box 60 to the valve 41 of air spring 40. A control cable 64 runs from the control box 60 to a control switch 66 mounted proximate to handlebars mounted in the front fork pivot tube 28.
When the frame, in use, is jarred so that chainstays 32 are deflected and air spring 40 periodically compresses, the pump 52 alternately expands and compresses, driving air out of air escape 58. The air from air escape 58 enters control box 60 which maintains the air spring 40 in one of three modes; i.e. pump, hold or vent, depending on the condition of cable 64 as affected by control switch 66.
When the control box 60 is in the pump mode, the reciprocating motion of the pump 52 causes air to exit the air escape 58 and travel to the air spring 40 through air line 62, resulting in inflation or increased air pressure within the air spring 40. The pressure within the air spring may be maintained at a desired level by switching the control box into the hold mode, which causes the sealing of air line 62 and release of air from the air escape 58 to the atmosphere via a vent line 68. Air may be released or vented from the air spring 40, effectively softening the suspension system, by switching the control box 60 to the vent mode, in which air is vented from the air spring 40 through the vent line 68.
Alternatively, mode selection may be implemented as illustrated in the schematic of FIG. 4. In such an embodiment a pair of cables 70, 72 run from a handlebar-mounted switch 74. One cable 70 runs to the pump 52 and activates it so that reciprocating motion causes air to pump through air line 62 to the air spring 40 increasing the air pressure therein. The second cable 72 runs to, and activates, a vent attached to air spring 40 enabling air to be vented therefrom. The handlebar-mounted switch or control means 74, which can be a lever or pushbutton switch, has a third mode, hold, which effectively disables the pump and vent functions, such that the air present in the air spring 40 is retained.
The suspension system discussed hereinabove may be nullified by locking the travel limit mechanism, whether strap or hydraulic cylinder as discussed hereinabove, so as to preclude the reciprocating motion of the air spring 40. In such a mode the flex inherent in the titanium structural members would provide the only shock absorbtion.
Although an air spring is described in the suspension system according to the invention it may be appreciated that a standard shock absorber could provide the main spring function which is supplemented by the resiliency of the titanium structural member.
While the resilient structural member according to the invention is described as a pair of chainstays, it can be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art that another structural member could be provided with the resiliency to supplement the main spring function of the air spring or other shock absorber.
Although in the preferred embodiment a resilient structural member in the form of a titanium tubular chainstay of a particular wall thickness and diameter is disclosed, it should be appreciated that the function of supplemental resiliency can be achieved using other materials and configurations for the resilient structural member, such as tubular steel of greater wall thickness and lesser diameter or a flat metal or composite arcuate structure such as a leaf spring, or other suitable resilient structural members.
While the mode select function of the air suspension system according to the invention is described as a cable controlled valve or switching mechanism, one of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate that such a function can be provided otherwise, such as by using electronics.
While the suspension system principles according to the invention are discussed in the context of a bicycle rear wheel suspension, it should be appreciated that this suspension system is similarly applicable in a bicycle front wheel suspension or in other human-powered vehicle suspension systems.
Although the invention has been shown and described with respect to an illustrative embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the foregoing and various other changes, omissions and additions in the form and detail thereof may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as delineated in the claims.

And in this post i'm wearing my best friend's brand Apparel After Dark T-Shirt.
#RICHKID was born because me and my friends, Amelia (which is the owner of the brand) are always mocking each other when we have no more money and the time we have one, we're just saying "oooh you're riched guy right now" and so on.
Actually it's born from our little fun conversation ;))

The invention concerns a method, a device and an apparatus for the surface treatment such as a cleaning operation and/or a covering operation for metal can bodies, preferably of Al or alloys thereof, more particularly can bodies which are produced by drawing, drawing and ironing or impact extrusion.
Before final filling such cans are generally prepared on their internal and/or external surfaces by means of cleaning treatments for removing the various pollutants resulting from the preceeding shaping operations (for example the residues of lubricants), and coating operations, generally using an organic material, in order to withstand subsequent physical or chemical attacks, both on the part of the content and the external environment.
A particular feature of the mode of manufacture of such cans is that they are formed at a high rate, of the order of 2000 cans per minute, which means that the cleaning and coating operations must be fast in order not to constitute a bottle-neck in their manufacture, whether the process is continuous (can-by-can) or discontinuous (in batches of cans).
The solution which is generally adopted in the prior art is treatment of each can individually and successively at a plurality of working stations, each being of very short duration, typically 1 second, and therefore involves an automatic system for fast transportation from one station to another, of the carousel type (see for example U.S. Pat. No. 3,969,136 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,883,578). In addition, as regards the organic coating which is generally deposited by electrophoresis, with the can constituting one of the electrodes, the counter-electrode or counter-electrodes must be disposed in the immediate vicinity of the surface of the can to be coated, which requires a specific device in relation to the size of can in question and thus involves multiplying the tools required, see for example GB-A-2 085 474 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,400,251.
The problem to be solved is therefore that of finding a method, a device and an apparatus for cleaning and coating metal cans, making it possible to treat a plurality of can geometries either successively or simultaneously, thereby avoiding the disadvantages or restrictions referred to above.
The device according to the invention comprises at least the following elements:
a nozzle of electrically conductive material such as graphite or a stainless steel, which is apertured with an axial duct, in a substantially vertical direction, and over which a can body to be treated can be disposed upside down; that nozzle can be electrically connected to a pole of a current source (DC or AC) and is supplied with the treatment fluid;
guide means permitting easy displacement of the can body in a substantially vertical direction; and
an electrode forming an electrical contact, which is disposed above the bottom of the can body and which can be electrically connected to the other pole of the current source.
It may also comprise auxiliary electrodes which are internal or external to the can body and which can be electrically connected to one of the poles of the current source.
The device according to the invention can be used both in an apparatus for batchwise treatment of cans and in an apparatus for continuous treatment at successive stations of the carousel type; in addition it does not require narrowing of the neck and/or the formation of the flange portion, prior to treatment.
Therefore, in an installation for surface treatment of electrolytic nature (cleaning) or electrophoretic nature (coating), the method according to the invention comprises:
a) placing each can body upside down, in vertical alignment with a nozzle for the injection of fluid (electrolyte or electrophoretic suspension) in such a way that each can bottom, upon injection of the fluid, comes into contact with an electrode forming an electrical contact by a vertical displacement upwardly,
b) admitting the fluid so as to cover the can body (in its up position),
c) admitting the electric current and then cutting it off, and
d) stopping the circulation of the fluid.
In the case of cleaning operations without current, or intermediate rinsing operations, operation c) is omitted.
The nature of the cleaning, coating and rinsing fluids is known to the man skilled in the art in dependence on the shaping method used and the subsequent use envisaged for the can bodies. Examples will provide indications in that respect, without limiting the scope of the invention.
The cleaning or rinsing operations can be completed by the introduction into the cleaning or rinsing chamber of one or more gas flows which increase the turbulence of the bath and thus enhance the effectiveness of the cleaning action (or rinsing action).
In a variant, in which the method consists of a batchwise treatment of cans, the process comprises the following operations:
a) a batch of can bodies is disposed upside down in a basket,
b) said basket is moved into a cleaning station, each can body being in vertical alignment with a cleaning fluid injection nozzle and each can bottom coming into contact with an electrode upon injection of the cleaning fluid by vertical upward displacement of the can,
c) the cleaning fluid is admitted,
d) current is applied if the cleaning operation is of electrolytic nature, and then it is cut off,
e) the cleaning fluid is stopped,
f) the basket is transported into the following rinsing station, of a similar constitution to the foregoing, but which does not have current feed devices or which is provided with current feed devices which are not supplied with current,
g) the rinsing fluid is admitted and then it is stopped,
h) the basket is transported into the following coating station, of a similar constitution to the cleaning station,
i) the electrophoretic suspension is admitted,
j) the direct current is admitted, the nozzles constituting the cathode,
k) the current and the electrophoretic flux are cut off, and
l) the basket is transported into the following rinsing station which is similar to or the same station as the rinsing station (f).
Those operations are generally completed by operations for drying and baking the coatings produced.
In the case of the process which operates on batches of cans, the apparatus according to the invention is composed of a plurality of elements, comprising at least a cleaning station, a rinsing station, a coating station, and a movable basket which is transportable from one station to the other and which contains the can bodies to be cleaned, rinsed or coated.
The basket which is formed of insulating material of the plastic-coated metal wire type comprises an apertured bottom and housings which are defined by vertical frame portions, the housings being disposed in a regular configuration and covering the entire surface of the bottom of the basket. The housings are generally of a right prismatic shape with a polygonal base, preferably regular such as square or hexagonal, forming a system covering the entire bottom of the basket, and lateral edges provided by the frame portions; their transverse dimensions are such that the circle corresponding to the largest of the diameters of the cans to be treated can be inscribed therein. The side walls of the housings are defined by vertical frame portions which are covered with plastics material.
The basket is made of a material which is inert in relation to the cleaning, rinsing or coating fluids used. In addition it is preferable to place between the vertical frame portions, at the lower level (or a plurality of levels), one (or more) rings of insulating material, the external rim of which engages into a peripheral groove in the coated frame portion and whose internal diameter is slightly larger than that of the can body to be treated. As will be seen hereinafter in the examples, the ring or rings serve or serves as a guide in the rising movement of the can, while adapting to the different sizes of the cans to be treated.
The cleaning station is essentially formed by a parallelepipedic tank which comprises a bottom and side walls and which is open in its upper part, and a cover which is fitted thereto. Disposed in the bottom of the tank are on the one hand injection nozzles passing therethrough, which are positioned substantially at the centre of each of the corresponding housings of the basket, and on the other hand electrodes.
The array of the nozzles is connected by a suitable conduit system to a fluid reservoir (cleaning, rinsing or coating fluid), either under the effect of a head or preferably by way of a pump; the overflow which is defined by a discharge pipe returns to the fluid reservoir after possible filtration or ultra-filtration.
The tank also comprises a lower emptying opening provided with a valve or a tap. The tank is of a material which is inert in relation to the fluids used and is preferably formed by a metal container encased with plastics material. The nozzles are of electrically conductive material such as graphite or stainless steel.
Also disposed on the bottom of the tank are vertical electrodes which are arranged regularly on the outside of the housings of the basket. The electrodes may be provided with insulating sleeves which permit their active surface area possibly to be reduced. They serve as auxiliary electrodes for the purposes of improved homogeneity in terms of the thickness of the electrophoretic coating and improved regularity in regard to external cleaning of the cans. They also serve for guiding the basket when it is set in place. In another variant, the electrodes may no longer be fixed with respect to the tank but with respect to the basket itself; they will then be common to the cleaning and coating operations.
They are electrically insulated from the tank (or the basket) and are connected to one of the poles of a current source by way of a switch.
They are for example of graphite in the case of the cleaning station and metal (stainless steel) in the case of the coating station.
In the vicinity of the centre of each of the housings, the cover comprises an electric current feed which is formed by a conducting portion, for example of metal (preferably of stainless steel) for the coating operation, or of aluminum for the cleaning operation. Their lower ends may be enlarged in a mushroom-like configuration (like for example a dome-head screw, which is positioned with its head downwards), providing for contact with the bottom of the can in the course of treatment.
All those current feeds are connected to one of the poles of a current source, for example providing alternating current in the case of the cleaning operation or direct current (anode) in the case of electrophoretic coating, with the necessary cut-out or starting devices (switches). In the latter case the direct current is preferably a pulsewise current.
The coating station is identical to the cleaning station described above, except as regards the nature of the fluid used.
The invention will be better appreciated by reference to the following detailed description illustrated by FIGS. 1 to 4 which constitute an example of a device for discontinuous treatment.
FIG. 1 is a view in horizontal section, showing a part of a basket in the cleaning, rinsing or coating position, taken along line IV--IV of FIG. 2A,
FIG. 2A shows a view of a basket in vertical section taken along line I--I in FIG. 1,
FIG. 2B shows a view of a basket in vertical section taken along line II--II in FIG. 1,
FIG. 3 is a view of a basket in section in a vertical plane along the line III--III in FIG. 1, and
FIG. 4A shows the position of a can body prior to or after circulation of electrolyte, cleaning or rinsing fluid; and
FIG. 4B shows the position of a can body during circulation of electrolyte, cleaning or rinsing fluid.
As shown in the drawings, a basket is formed by a metal frame 1 encased with plastics material forming a base and apertured side walls. It comprises 20�20 housings, with a square base as indicated at ABCD. Disposed at each of the corners of the squares is a vertical encased frame portion. Disposed in each of the housings is a metal can 2 which is disposed upside down and which rests on the frame portions 1 of the basket. The centre of the housing O is disposed substantially in vertical alignment with the axis 26 of the injection nozzle 24.
The electrodes 3, which can be masked by an insulating sleeve 40, are disposed at the centre of the quadrilateral BEFG. Placed between the can body 2 and the frame portions 1 is a ring 6 of plastics material, which is fixed on the vertical frame portions by clipping or welding and whose internal diameter is slightly greater than the external diameter of the can body 2.
The cleaning section is formed by a parallelepipedic tank comprising a bottom 21, and side walls, of plastics material, which is open in its upper part and which is capable of containing the above-described basket and is inert in relation to the fluids used.
Extending through the bottom 21 are injection nozzles 23 which are formed by a tube 24 and a base 25 and which are disposed substantially on the axes O of the baskets; the tubes 24 penetrate into the can body 2 by way of the opening 8.
The electrodes 3 also extend through the bottom 21 in a sealing and electrically insulated fashion. The electrodes 3 and the nozzles 23 are connected to a pole P of the current source (not shown). the electrodes pass into the housings in the basket by way of the openings 9 thereof (see FIG. 1). The electrodes 3 also serve as guide elements for the basket when being set in position in the treatment tank.
Each of the cans being surrounded by 8 electrodes, it is possible as desired to modulate the distribution of the current lines around each of the cans. In the case of the treatment involving coating by electrophoresis, it is possible to mask a part of the external surface of the electrodes 3 by means of insulating sleeves (not shown) so as to optimise the useful conducting surface area thereof.
As already indicated, the electrodes 3 can be fixed with respect to the cover 10 or the basket (1) instead of being fixed with respect to the bottom of the tank 21.
The tank also comprises an overflow and an emptying pipe.
The coating tank is of a similar constitution to the cleaning tank. The rinsing tank is also similar but it does not have any current feeds 11 or electrodes 3.
Placed on the tank is a cover 10 of insulating material which comprises, substantially on the axis O of the housing, a current feed 11 of stainless steel (coating operation) or graphite (cleaning operation), which has a cylindrical body 13 and which is held in place by a system comprising a nut and a lock nut, as indicated at 14, and connected to the other pole P' of the current source (not shown).
In this embodiment, the can bodies being treated are of 3104 and are of the following dimensions:
external φ=65 mm
total height: 125 mm
thickness of the bottom: 0.3 mm
wall thickness: 0.17 mm
useful height (hB): 120 mm.
The height of the nozzles hA is 105 mm and their diameter is 30 mm. The height under the current feed hC is 130 mm.
The 400 can bodies are placed head downwards in the basket comprising 20�20 housings, which is moved to the cleaning station (FIG. 4A), the nozzles 24 and the current feeds 11 being connected to the terminals of an AC generator at a voltage of 15 volts.
The electrolyte formed by a solution of phosphoric acid whose electrical conductivity at 70�-75� C. is 70 mS/mis then admitted into the tank, by operating the circulation pump, providing a flow of 2 m3 /h per nozzle. Under the effect of circulation of the electrolyte, the can bodies are lifted (see FIG. 4B) and their bottom is pressed against the heads of the current feeds (12) and they are purged of the air that they contain; the tank is filled with electrolyte to the level 30 of the overflow, FIG. 4; the electrolyte then completely immerses the can bodies in the upward position. The electric current is then established for a period of from 2 to 5 s.
After the pump is stopped, the can bodies drop down into the downward position (FIG. 4A) and the tank is emptied by way of the drain provided for that purpose.
The basket is withdrawn and placed in the rinsing station where the can bodies are rinsed with water, obviously without electric current.
The basket is then placed in the coating tank and the nozzles 23, the current feeds 11 and possibly the electrodes 3 being connected to the terminals of a direct current source at a voltage of from 100 to 380 volts, typically 200 volts. In that situation the electrophoresis bath is admitted, comprising anaphoretic varnish on an epoxy base (in a proportion of 10 g/liter, in water), whose pH-value is 7.7, conductivity is 1.76 mS/m and with the temperature being maintained at 30� C., by way of nozzles 23, and a cycle similar to the cleaning cycle is initiated. Here however the anaphoretic treatment time is from 2 to 15 seconds, which makes it possible to deposit a layer of from 1 to 10 μm of resin, with a pulse-wise direct current (typically 50 ms with current+20 ms without current).
After the coating cycle, the rinsing operation is carried out under the same conditions as above.
In addition the above-described apparatuses are very simple from the mechanical point of view.
Finally the process of the invention does not require any drying operation between the cleaning and coating operations, which provides a significant simplification, giving gains in terms of energy and capital investment.

This is tour typical buffet, they also won best buffet on island. What I love about this place is that they have ice cream at the dessert table and tbh thats the only thing worth getting.
We called to book our reservation on Feb. 9 at 8:40PM, we were told "no need to make reservation." However, since my husband and I used to work in a hotel we both knew that V-day is a busy night. So we insisted to make resevation.
Feb. 14, checked in to the hostess and told her our reservation was under...
Best buffet lunch in Guam. Excellent choices of meat, vegetables and sashimi. Excellent choice of salads. excellent choice of deserts. Great service/
Great Breakfast buffet. There is a wide variety of choices catering to the international traveler. I was impressed by the selection and the quality of food at the restaurant.
Staying at the Westin, it was convenient to eat breakfast here one day, lunch another. It is pricey for those meals, but if you are an SPG member, you can ask and get 15% off, which helps. Really do not need a big tip as the servers only bring water and clear dirty plates. The food was generally good, but...
Was there a few hours ago since we heart from a bunch of friends that Taste has a good buffet menu. We made a reservation for 2. It was our first time so we were some kinda thrilled on what to expect. My hubby started off with their salad while I opted for the seafood and sushi. The food was...
Their seafood is just awesome. They offer several service that seafood, steak day, etc... They also offer us live seafood cooking and I really love the crabs. If my memory was right, I could have many kind of crabs on the seafood day. That was amazing.
they had a great buffet and price was very reasonable restraraunt was very clean and price was reasonable for food served
We tried the breakfast buffet at the Westin and found it to be second rate and expensive. While it was visually appealing, and they had a decent selection, they hadn't changed anything out in awhile and the hot (warm) things were stale and/or soggy. The bacon was very thin and mostly fat. The few cheeses were not good, and the...
We went on Monday night which had crab, fish and steak grilled to order. Their pasta section was very good as well! just be careful not to leave your belongings on the table, some customers sitting near our table got their valuables stolen when they were picking up their food.

In April 2012, I was travelling from jaipur to Ajmer. At the railway station while going down the stairs, I slipped. I kept falling and the iron lining on each stair kept hitting my backbone very badly. I had bags in both my hands, and it didn't occur to me to leave those and help myself. I slipped along 7-8 stairs and couldn't stand up. I knew that I had a fracture in my back.
First thing I thought of was to call Mr. Deepak Hardikar, my mentor and teacher, told him the situation and requested him for healing.
Few people had to help me to board the train. I was in severe pain. For the whole journey I kept lying down, not being able to move. When we reached Ajmer, I made an effort to get up and I felt that the pain was much less. And to my surprise I was even able to walk on my own out of the station. I was really surprised that when we reached home I even climbed the stairs. I received a call from Deepak ji, to ask about how I was feeling. Upon asking him he told me that one bone had a crack and he had healed it. He told me to go for an x-ray. I did, and all was normal.
This incident, I can't forget for the rest of my life.
