The present invention relates to a device for performing quantitative or qualitative chemical and immunochemical assays. The device is compact and includes the reagents needed to carry out a specific assay. Operation of the device is designed to be quick and simple and does not rely on the use of electronic or other complicated means. An unskilled person should be able to conduct an assay using the device of the present invention.
The need to obtain quick and accurate assay information is most clearly apparent in medical situations. An enormous number of medical tests or assays are now available, but often the physician or patient must wait hours or even days before such test results can be made available. Samples for testing are often sent to a testing laboratory where skilled technicians employ specially prepared reagents and expensive equipment to obtain the desired data. Assays conducted in this manner are, therefore, expensive as well as slow.
In non-medical applications, test results are often needed quickly for agricultural applications, such as testing for pesticide residues, or for industrial applications, such as testing for the presence of harmful chemicals in the workplace or in products.
The present invention comprises a device for performing assays wherein all of the required reagents are provided in reservoirs which discharge their contents sequentially through a common conduit to a tube in which the assay is carried out. Means are provided for introducing the sample to be tested into the assay tube, and the assay is performed by mechanically causing the contents of each reservoir to pass through the assay tube in the required sequence. The results of the assay may be qualitatively indicated by, for example, the appearance of a color in the assay tube, or may be quantitatively determined by insertion of the assay tube into a suitable analysing instrument.
Because the present device is small and self-contained, only a small sample is required and the test can be conducted by an unskilled person. Likewise, the device will enable the physician, veterinarian or other skilled person to obtain important test results quickly and on the spot.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a device for performing chemical and immunochemical assays, comprising a disk having a thin flexible membrane applied to one side thereof, said membrane defining a conduit and a plurality of reagent reservoirs, each reservoir being isolated from the conduit by at least one frangible seal. An assay tube having one end is attached to an end of the conduit, the assay tube being capable of having an assay reagent bonded to the inner wall thereof. Sample injection means are provided at the other end of the conduit, and means are provided for forcing the contents of each reservoir through the conduit and the assay tube in the desired order by causing the rupture of each frangible seal in the desired sequence. The means for forcing the contents of each reservoir through the conduit also prevent back flow of reagent in the conduit.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference being made to the drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view, partially broken away, of a device in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is a side elevation of a detail taken along arrow 2 in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an alternate embodiment of the same detail shown in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a section taken along line 4--4 in FIG. 1 showing the operation of the reservoir, frangible seal and conduit when the forcing means from the cover is applied thereto;
FIGS. 5 and 6 are detail sectional views through a reservoir of the invention showing the operation of the frangible seal;
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the disk of the invention; and
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view at line 8--8 of FIG. 7 showing the emplacement of the assay and reference tubes.
Referring to FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a device having a base 10, a circular disk 11 which fits into the base 10, and a cover 12 which fits over the base 10. The device is generally cylindrical in shape.
The base 10 has a circular platform 15 which is recessed from the upper rim 16 thereof. A waste reservoir 18 is provided beneath the platform 15 and may be incorporated integrally with the base 10 or may be a separate component. An aperture 19 centrally through the platform 15 provides communication to the waste reservoir 18. The exterior of the base 10 is provided with a flange 21 extending outwardly of the upper rim 16 thereof.
The disk 11 is provided with notches 30 at the circumference thereof which interengage projections 31 formed in the inner wall of the base 10 to position the disk 11 in place on the platform 15. The disk 11 has a flexible membrane 33 attached to the top side thereof. The membrane 33 defines a conduit 37 and a plurality of reagent reservoirs 38 which are separated from the conduit 37 or from one another by frangible seals 39. An assay tube 40 is connected to the exit end of the conduit 37 and may be joined in series to a reference tube 41. Communication is provided to the waste reservoir 18 by means of a conduit 42 which passes through an aperture 43 in the platform 18. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the tubes 40 and 41 may be secured in place by a conduit 60 formed into the surface of the disk 12. Of course, more than one assay tube 40 may be utilized in the device so that a plurality of assays may be conducted simultaneously.
The disk 11 is preferably provided with a test sample recirculation means for causing the sample to contact the inner wall of the assay tube 40 for the desired length of time. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the recirculation means comprises a resiliently flexible dome which in the embodiment illustrated is a hemispherical dome 45 centrally located on the disk 11 and in communication with the entrance end of the conduit 37. A one-way valve 46 is provided at one end of a conduit 47 descending from the central portion of the disk 11. When assembled as shown in FIG. 4, the conduit 47 extends through the central aperture 19 in the base platform 15 and into the waste reservoir 18. Sample liquid 49 introduced into the waste reservoir 18 is pumped through the conduits 47 and 37 and the assay tube 40 by means of the dome 45 and valve 46 which coact as a pump by depressing and releasing the flexible dome 45.
The cover 12 is a short cylindrical structure having a circular top surface 51 and a downwardly extending side wall 52 having an inner diameter just greater than that of the outer diameter of the base 10 at the upper rim 16. The underside of the top surface 51 is preferably provided with a roller 55 extending radially from near the center to near the side wall 52 of the cover 12. The cover has a hole 57 about the center of the top surface 51 of sufficient diameter to accommodate the dome 45.
The cover 12 interacts with the base 10 and disk 11 by means of the roller 55. The roller 55 is of a size and diameter to engage the surface of the disk 11 when the device is assembled as shown in FIG. 4. By rotating the cover 12 when in place on the base 10, the reagent reservoirs 38 are successively emptied through the conduit 37 for the purpose of conducting the assay. The roller 55 may be frustoconical in shape rather than cylindrical to provide a more efficient emptying of the reservoirs 38 as the cover is rotated. The roller 55 extends over the conduit 37.
For the purpose of better understanding the operation of the device of the invention reference will be made to its use as a pregnancy test kit. One type of pregnancy test involves an enzyme immunoassay for the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the blood or urine. The assay comprises binding the HCG with an enzyme/antibody conjugate wherein the antibody is specific to HCG, i.e. anti-HCG, followed by detection of enzyme activity by determining if enzyme substrate is consumed. If there is no detectable enzyme activity, there was no HCG or sufficient HCG in the test sample for the conjugate to bind to. A preferred enzyme for this assay is urease because the consumption of substrate urea by urease results in the evolution of ammonia causing an increase in pH which may be easily detected by a suitable indicator.
Applying the present device to the HCG assay, the assay tube 40 is first treated to cause a coating of HCG antibody to be bound to the inner wall thereof. The anti-HCG coating is preferably covalently bonded to the wall of the tube 40, but may also be affixed by adsorption. Either method of coating is well known in the art.
The reference tube 41 is not coated with antibody and acts as a colour comparator with the assay tube 40. A sample of urine for testing is introduced into the waste reservoir 18 and the device is assembled for carrying out the assay. The sample is pumped from the reservoir 18 and through the assay tube 40 and reference tube 41 by means of the dome 45 and valve 46 by simply depressing and releasing the dome 45 repeatedly for the required time period.
With the cover 12 in place on the base 10 and with the roller 55 in position before the first reagent reservoir 38, the cover 12 is rotated counterclockwise as shown in FIG. 1 to cause the reagent in the first reservoir 38 to pass into the conduit 37 and through the assay and reference tubes 40 and 41.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the roller 55 applies pressure to the reservoir 38 causing the frangible seal 39 to break releasing the contents of the reservoir 38 into the conduit 37. Since the conduit 37 is also compressed by the action of the roller 55, the reagent from the reservoir 38 is forced only toward the assay tube 40.
The frangible seals 39 between the reservoir 38 and the conduit 37 are shaped in a generally triangular fashion as shown in FIG. 7 so that the seals 37 rupture continuously rather than all at once as the roller 55 passes over the disk surface. This feature provides a continuous and even flow of reagent through the conduit 37 and the tubes 40 and 41. The roller 55 encounters the narrow end of the triangular frangible seals 39 first, thereby ensuring that rupture occurs at the face of the advancing roller 55 and providing thorough washing of prior reagent from the conduit 37 by the addition of subsequent reagent.
In the present example, the first reagent reservoir 38 is filled with enzyme/antibody conjugate, which in this example is preferably urease/anti-HCG. The anti-HCG portion of the conjugate attaches to the HCG captured in the assay tube 40. The second reservoir 38 contains a wash solution to rid the system of any residual conjugate, and the third reservoir 38 contains a substrate solution for the urease, i.e. urea, and a pH indicator such as bromthymol blue. Of course, each successive reagent is caused to flow through the assay tube 40 by rotation of the cover 12 so as to cause the roller 55 to expel the reservoirs' contents through the frangible seals 39 and conduit 37.
As shown in FIG. 7, the third reagent reservoir 38 preferably comprises two compartments. A first compartment 64 contains reagent liquid for the final step of the assay and a second compartment 65 contains enzyme substrate powder which in this case is urea. Because urea is not stable for long periods in solution, it is preferred to maintain the urea in the stable solid form until it is needed. The compartments 64 and 65 are separated by a thin frangible seal 66 which is ruptured by the pressure on the compartment 64 by the roller 55 thereby allowing the urea powder to be dissolved. The compartment 65 is provided with a frangible seal 39 between it and the conduit 37 which ruptures upon continued rotation of the roller 55 to allow the substrate solution to pass through the tubes 40 and 41.
In the present example, a positive assay results in the development of color in the assay tube 40 after all reservoirs 38 have been emptied. In the case of miniature devices made according to the invention or for quantitative measurements, the color change may be detected by measuring means such as a colorimeter. Otherwise, the color development in the assay tube 40 may be monitored visually through a window (not shown) in the surface 51 of the cover 12.
Additional features of the preferred structure of the device include means associated with the cover 12 for ensuring the proper initial positioning and providing continuous engagement of the roller 55 with the surface of the disk 11. Thus, the inner surface of the side wall 52 of the cover 12 is provided with two projections 71 which fit through correspondingly oriented notches 73 in the flange 21 of the rim 16. The projections 71 and notches 73 are located to ensure the proper initial positioning of the roller 55 before the first reagent reservoir 38. When the cover 12 is rotated, the projections 71 engage the underside of the flange 21 locking the cover 12 on the base 10 (see FIG. 4). To ensure that the cover 12 does not become disengaged until the cover 12 is rotated the full 360� about the rim 16, the projections 71 and notches 73 are not diametrically opposite one another (see FIG. 1).
To reduce the chance of erroneous use of the device, the cover 12 and base 10 may be provided with indicators and click-stops associated with each step in the assay. Thus, after insertion of the sample, the cover 12 would be rotated to the first indicator and click-stop, and then to each successive indicator stop in turn thereby fully completing each step before going on to the next.
As shown in FIG. 3, the roller 55 may be replaced by other means which accomplish the same task such as a solid wiper blade 75. The wiper blade 75 preferably possesses a sufficient degree of resiliency to provide an even and continuous pressure at the surface of the disk 11, and has a rounded or blunt edge 76 for contacting the disk surface.
As shown in FIG. 2, the roller 55 is preferably held in place by the snap fitting of a cylindrical end nib 79 into a bracket 80. The prongs 81 of the bracket 80 define a gap 82 above the snap fit location of the nib 79 which allows the prongs 81 to provide a resilient engagement of the roller 55 in the bracket 80.
It will be apparent to those skilled in this art that the device as described above may be modified in a number of ways. The invention includes all such modifications, and the scope of the present invention is defined in the following claims.

Discussion in 'MoD News' started by MoD_RSS, Aug 30, 2013.
The heart of the site is the forum area, including:
Destroyer has flight deck
And helicopters land on it...
Still better than 'fitted for not with' flight deck.
They are helicopters not proper aircraft, ffs the UK lightly armed coastguard out of its depth again!
Can they land an Osprey on it?
Not unlike all the stuff about FRES. Army gets new tank!
Probably they have a wingspan under 2 metres, I don't know if the RN issues Gauntlets and Hoods though, nor am I sure of the NSN for Creances or Jesses.
Badum Tschisss. Should I try the veal?
If only
Does the RN have any other ships apart from the T45s - just asking judging from the amount of T45 stories....
Also, what happens when there is a joint fast-roping exercise between the Royal Marines and a US EOD team?
I believe it involves nudity, roll mats, rubber gloves and lubricant. Lots of lubricant for the yanks, not so much for Royal.
Separate names with a comma.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Room was clean and had everything you need for a nights stay. Front desk person was nasty over the phone when I asked if they could match the Kyak rate. The trains across the street might as well be inside your room. THEY'RE LOUD!!!!
Super staff; courteous, helpful, and very professional. Room looked clean until further inspection. Too much dust, and the bathroom floor could've been cleaner.
My husband and I stayed 9 nights in this lovely historic home. Carol, the innkeeper, made us feel very welcome, comfortable and completely at home. She served wonderful breakfasts. I would highly recommend Bayside B and B. Dave and Teddi no
Wonderful Host , Very friendly and helpful. Beautiful house. Simply a gem . The house is antique ...which is beautiful. However there were too many antiques in the room, which caused fear that we may accidently break something. The room should be a bit less cluttered. Also it was missing a coffee machine with which to brew tea.
This Home/ Bed & Breakfast was wonderful, quiet, clean, and everything we expected. The breakfast was delicious, blueberry french toast with fresh squeezed orange juice, hot coffee, all located in the formal dining room.
The Bayside B & B is a beautifully home. Our stay was relaxing and hotel employee was a very gracious host. The hot water could have been a bit hotter.
The rooms are worth their value. the staff was also friendly and attentive
Really nice and great for adults! Wish it was non smoking in the casino/restaurants to make it more kid friendly.
We were celebrating a birthday. Had a great time.
The service for food in the main dining room was very very slow. The steak took a hour and a half to get to the table.
Beautiful room. Comfortable. Clean. Roomy. Restaurant choices. Close to shopping. Casino slot machine minimums high even compared to Vegas.
I have stayed here for two Mother's Day occasions and in the past was satisfied with the location, T-spa, and room service. Many of the facilities were closed for no apparent reason and this was not mentioned to me during booking. There was also on-site construction that was noisy. The staff were very rude and the food from room service was burnt. I am heartbroken as this was a Mother's Day getaway which turned out terrible. Will never return.
Newly remodeled with high end finishes
The rooms are very comfortable, there's great restaurants on site and the staff is always helpful. Smoking in the casino.
Loved the room and spa like atmosphere in the room. Loved the Casino and the many choices of eating places. Only had ONE Ultimate Texas Holdem table - which was FULL the whole time - was not able to play at that, which is why I came to the Tulalip.
I loved the food in the Cedars Late Night Restaurant and the waiting staff there. The unfriendly and rude nature of 99% of the employees who work for this casino and resort.
While not in the plan, my husband caught a cold prior to arrival. He had a good night's sleep and a couple of showers to help ease his symptoms. The room was luxurious for me and comforting for him. I was able to go downstairs and gamble. This is silly. The super soft bath towels have too much fabric softener. It repels water.
Room was clean. Free beakfast. Pool was small. No hot tub. Parking garage was a nightmare (all compact spots) and really full. Staff was rude. Next time I'll go to the Holiday Inn for nicer rooms, hot tube, and nice staff.
Very modern facilities, everything like new. Polite and friendly staff. Good layout. Secure underground parking. Pillows were a bit soft and the comforter was fairly heavy, so the bed was not the most comfortable. No view from our room overlooking alleyway. Not enough parking spaces for all guests overnight.
The beds. Oh the fantastic beds. The bed linens are amazing too. Love the Neutrogena products as well. Rooms are spacious and very clean. We love the clean, warm, minimalist design. The parking garage is awful. The spaces are way too small (and we had a compact). The hotel staff needs to monitor the garage better. Many guests were parking in two spots and effort I supposed to avoid door dings. This is extremely frustrating when all parking spots are taken. I counted at least three vehicles that had intentionally taken two spots over the course of a four day stay. Very thoughtless and rude. The staff needs to deal with these guests.
The breakfast was amazing. We also had a spacious room. Price was right!
The business center allowed my husband to get his work done while we all slept. There was no high chair for eating breakfast. It was difficult to feed my family while keeping my 2 year old in a chair. It was frustrating to start my day with no high chair. The hotel wasn't family friendly to young families.
We used this hotel as a "base" for heading to the national parks in the area. It was comfortable, clean, and the staff were friendly. A little noisy next to the highway.
The breakfast was nice No shower pressure to toilet ran all night.. horrible smells in the hallway.
It's conveniently located at the I5 and Hwy 2 interchange. The hotel is basic but clean and well staffed. Road construction across the street could be heard in the room (jackhammer) during weekday business hours.
Clean rooms, decent beds, great breakfast. Our car was broken into while in their parking lot. Their security cameras are not effective and don't cover the parking area. Management wouldn't even call the police for me, and I was told that they didn't really know how to operate their cameras. They were not too sympathetic, even though we had parked where we were told to. although the hotel offers a great breakfast, is clean, we will not venture there again.
The front counter clerk was extremely friendly. The room had a oder during the stay.
Clean. Close to freeway but don't hear traffic. Excellent breakfast!
left my laptop in room. Staff mailed it to my home. That is great service!
Renovation work in progress...being handled carefully. Folks are friendly. Breakfast was nice. Not in a great part of town. Rooms need some freshening up, starting to look a little old.
We stay here whenever we are visiting family in Marysville. This is your basic mid-priced hotel. The full breakfast is wonderful and time saving. The rooms are larger than normal and clean. They are remodeling the facility so it can only get better than it already is. The laundry also comes in handy if you are saying a while. Nothing
Staff was very friendly, lobby and breakfast area nicely updated. Room was very clean and looked nice. Unlike lobby, rooms and hallways are incredibly outdated. There also was a musty, wet smell all over the hotel. Room was nice but also had a small funky smell and beds were not comfortable at all.
Cheack in and out was fast house keeping was just not seen and did a great job Parking was scarey
Convenient location, great price, fridge and microwave in room, hot breakfast, passes to a great fitness center, all staff very friendly and helpful. Will stay here again and again. The neighborhood isn't that great and you can hear people outside at all hours of the night. I usually stay four nights and five days so the breakfast gets old by the third morning. Would be nice if they changed the menu every other day.
Beds were nice. The location was in a horrible part of town, the rooms were outdated, unclean, noisy. and the staff charged my husband's credit card again for the room. Said she couldn't look it up to see if we paid the room or not. Still haven't been credited back yet. Will NEVER stay there again!!
The Best Western Cascadia Inn was a great stay for us. My husband and I were in the Everett area on family business. This was our second stay in the last month because the Inn met all our needs. The place was clean, beds were comfortable, towels were amazing, and the breakfast was so delicious and lots of choices. I would not hesitate to coming again. Gail -0-
Very nice staff. Difficult entryway for disabled people. Parking has very narrow ramp to door. If it's raining though there is no cover. Unlike other La Quintas this was an older property than I expected and was a bit run down.
The staff at front desk absolutely excellent. First rate service. Trying to find the hotel at night. Very difficult.
Reception was professional & friendly. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and the ambiance was quiet. There was also a junior hockey team staying on the same night and the staff was able to check us into a room well away from the boys.
The staff were wonderful. We booked La Quinta because they are pet friendly and we were traveling with a small dog. The staff made us and the dog feel welcome. Even came out to greet and play with the dog. Just a bit tricky to get to but otherwise fine. Our dog hated the elevator.
the nite shift desk ckerk was extremely helpful, he even printed off a map for me for the next days trip
Excellent service and location!
Good value for the money; clean, comfortable, easy access off the highway. The highway noise was too loud with the window open, so we had to leave it closed.
Nice place to stay. Very close to our conference site. Impressed with the quietness considering it was next to I-5. Nice breakfast menu.
Nothing They wouldn't let us stay because we were not 21, but the law says we could have stayed. It ruined all of our plans and made prom really uneventful.
Very good stuf and it was close to what I want Every thing was good
This is a comfortable hotel that would rate 3 stars. The breakfast could have been a bit tastier as the omlettes were pre-made and a bit rubbery. I feel a simple continental breakfast would have been just fine .
Price Quiet Friendly staff Rooms need updating Fitness faculty needs free weights Could hear people in rooms next to me, but wasn't horrible
The suites were spacious. The breakfast was good.
Courteous employees Very helpful all the way Closeness to gas station/trailer park Suspicious movements around the facility
The stay was amazingly uncomfortable. Desk guy was very rude, and not efficient. It seemed like his only job was to disappoint and aggravate people. We made a reservation through Kayak, which they eventually found (But they hadn't set aside a room for us) So they charged us even MORE money for a smoking room with a fridge that we did not want or need. The location I can only describe as ghetto. There was an arrest being made when we arrived, and from there the location seemed to get seedier and seedier as the night progressed. Our air conditioner did not work, and the room smelled of something awful. I cannot even describe what the smell was. It honestly smelled like something had recently died in the room and they had simply sprayed febreeze to cover it up. The cost, location, lack of clean towels and not working air conditioner made this experience pretty terrible. To top it off, I had to check to make sure that my car wasn't broken into many times during the night as a bunch of people were simply loitering around the area. AVOID UNLESS YOU HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE.
The staff was kind and polite I specifically requested a non-smoking room because of health issues. I was given a room in a building where, even though the sticker on the door states non-smoking if was definitely a smokers room, complete with ash tray and all. But it was supposedly their last room. Very disappointed. But it was late and I needed a place. Apparently there is a different building that is truly for non smokers.
cheap room was smokey, everybody staying there seemed to be smoking right outside of their room. Truly a no-frills experience. Wifi isn't free and didn't work right when paid.
The staff was very friendly and courteous. The room was clean. Denny's on the same lot, so a short walk to a meal. Bad area, but we stayed there for the cheap price, so you can't expect much. The room was clean, but very bare-bones, no art or decor. No shampoo or conditioner in the room, and no late checkout available.
Location and recent update The mattress and noise levels due to the closeness of the I-5 freeway
Quiet stay. I had no disturbances. Front desk is staffed overnight, but I guess that's normal. I arrived after midnight and was in my room after just a few minutes at the counter. Continental breakfast. Great price! While I was eating breakfast, a staff member (the owner?) yelled at a woman for coming back in and getting another apple for breakfast. Apparently, she had already eaten and the owner didn't like her coming back... Give me a break, it's an apple and Washington is full of them. I would stay here again though. It beats paying Seattle prices and isn't too far away.
Water pipe broke around 4:00 am. Office stated that a plumber had been called but at 10:00 my husband went down and got two coffee cups of hot water and we had a sponge bath as we needed to leave. I feel there should have been some kind of compensation as the room cost over $100. The staff was apologetic but not helpful. We didn't have any water and had to walk over to the gas station to buy some water to drink. Did not respond or compensate for a difficult situation which created a very negative experience at the hotel.
Nothing Front desk guy was rude
Checking in at 11pm - first room we were sent to wasn't even clean, like someone had just checked out. Front desk DID immediately correct the problem with another room.
I was very disappointed in the breakfast
It had the basics of everything and the room was clean. The room was a non smoking room and it stunk of cigerattes. Very disappointing to walk into and the smell never left the room. Didn't like the location of the inn, it was difficult to get into and leave.
We were just passing through the Canadaian Rockies and enjoying all the beautiful sites. Our trip was from Missouri up through KS, NE, WY, MT, into Calgary and across through Banff, Lake Louise, Golden, back into WA, OR, CA. so we had lots of opportunities to choose our overnight stays, We enjoyed the cleaniness, friendly staff, and all the ammentities offered to us during our overnight stay. WE would definitely return again some time. WE cannot say we found anything that dissppointed us during our stay here.
comfortable beds,awesome products pillows, good bath products, good selection for the breakfast items the eggs at the complimentary breakfast were sketchy!
breakfast, staff friendlyness no movies available
clean, close to the casino, and quiet
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice with a great selection of items and they even got gluten free bread and muffins for my daughter. I paid for a more expensive hotel with a POOL as I was traveling with teens and wanted to go to the casino. only to be told the day we got there they were draining the pool that day. Way to drop the ball kayak not telling me before hand. With nothing for kids to do I didn't get to the adult only actives.
Friendly staff! Breakfast needs improvement.
The staff. The staff at this property are friendly, helpful, professional and kind. Each and every person is a pleasure to interact with and works hard. No.
Kitchen... Can't really call packaged muffins and breakfast bars offering breakfast..
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Room has hidden bed couch for my daughter.
What I like best about this property is the staff. Every single person that works here is friendly, competent, professional and interesting. They are genuine and sincere. Every interaction I have with each of them is always good. Yes. The selection of tv channels. There are like 20 ESPN choices (overkill) but no channels that have children's programming all day like Disney.
Large rooms. Full size sofa beds, oven! We have stayed at other Extended Stay America hotels. This is by far the best! Others had no sofa or oven. Will stay here again.
Very comfortable bed! The hair dryer in the bathroom had some sort of residue on the handle and there was a fake fingernail on the floor near the nightstand. Otherwise, it seemed very clean.
Door locks worked well. Continental Breakfast was absolute bare minimum.
It's a place to sleep. Not to great of a neighborhood. Pretty shady individuals roaming around the hotel.
The room smelled, it is very noise from traffic and people talking outside, their computers were down and they wanted a photo copy of my credit card and I.D.
Staff was really nice and very helpful. Beds were a little uncomfortable.
location, pretty safe feeling for cost and location got locked out of bathroom, dime bag of weed outside door, couldn't get an extra pillow in the week stay, super old tv
Location Breakfast
The rooms were nice, the food was good, the pool was excellent and the location was alright The children's hockey team was really loud and running through the halls.
Far enough away from the freeway that it's quiet. Everything appears to be in new condition. The staff was very nice and helpful. Good breakfast. Very reasonably priced. Exactly what I look for on business stops. An occasional air liner takes off very early in the morning.

Feeding the World - Give Thanks to Farmers - March 21 National Ag Day
From the food we eat, the fibers in our clothes and many other uses, we simply could not live in the modern era without agriculture.
Clean diesel cars and pickups help us conserve resources and reduce emissions. Find out how motor fuels tax policy plays an important role in promoting a sustainable transportation choice.
Clean diesel cars are growing in popularity with consumers and saving fuel, reducing emissions and improving air quality for everyone. More clean diesel passenger vehicles on the road will greatly contribute to future clean air and climate benefits. Even President Obama has taken note of growing interest in clean diesel cars. The "All of the Above Energy Policy" released by the Administration attributes some of the anticipated reduction in gasoline use to expanded adoption of diesel passenger vehicles. One of the roadblocks to increasing the number of clean diesel vehicles on the road today is the disparity in tax treatment of diesel fuel.
Since 2005, the banner year for reintroduction of diesel into the U.S. passenger vehicle market, diesel cars, SUVs, vans and pickup trucks make up just under three percent of the market or about seven million vehicles on the road. These vehicles are estimated to have reduced carbon emissions by almost 10 million tons between 2005 and 2014 and saved 36 million barrels of crude oil. According to research commissioned by the Diesel Technology Forum, if diesel vehicles make up 10 percent of the market by 2020, a further 12 million tons of carbon emissions could be eliminated while displacing 2.3 billion gallons of gasoline use.
Expanding the fleet of diesel passenger vehicles depends on quite a lot of variables and motor fuels tax treatment is one leading factor. Today, the federal government taxes gasoline and diesel differently. A driver of a gasoline car pays $0.18/gallon in federal gasoline tax while a diesel driver pays $0.06 more at $0.24/gallon. Federal motor fuels have been in place for decades to help pay for road and highway maintenance along with other federal transportation initiatives. The current disparity in tax treatment means diesel drivers pay more than their fair share to maintain roads and highways than a drivers of gasoline vehicles.
Back in 1984, President Ronald Reagan needed to raise funds for roads and highways that were quickly falling into disrepair. At that time, most of the nation's heavy-duty trucks ran on diesel while very few passenger cars ran on diesel. Understanding that big trucks imposed more wear and tear on the nation's roads, the President urged Congress to adopt a motor fuels tax hike that increased the diesel tax, by $0.06 cents/gallon, above that imposed on gasoline. Fast forward to 1994. President Bill Clinton needed to raise money for roads and help pay for deficit reduction. The President urged Congress to increase federal motor fuels taxes again... to $18.4 cents/gallon for gasoline and $24.4 cents/gallon for diesel maintaining the $0.06 cent/gallon disparity. For 21 years now, federal motor fuels taxes have remained unchanged.
A lot has changed since 1994 and certainly 1984. Since that time, more clean diesel cars have hit the road. As of 2014, there are about 7.4 million diesel cars, SUVs and pickup trucks. Baseline estimates have diesel sales exceeding one million vehicles every year through 2020. These are an additional one million diesel drivers every year who would pay more per gallon in fuels taxes than drivers of gasoline vehicles.
While the federal motor fuels tax regime is not very favorable to diesel drivers, many states are getting the message that more and more motorists are behind the wheel of a diesel car or pickup truck. As of July 2015, more states are now imposing the same taxes and fees on diesel as on gasoline than states that impose higher taxes on diesel. Hopefully, as more states impose tax parity between gasoline and diesel, more likely car and truck buyers will take a second look at the diesel option.

60-Minute Gourmet
By PIERRE FRANEY
Published: March 22, 1989
SINCE my extended family is scattered around the country this Easter, I have decided to prepare a simple and quick dinner at home. Instead of the traditional roast ham or leg of lamb, I will make medallions of pork with lentils, a favorite combination of mine.
For this dish I use slices from the loin; they are exceptionally tender when cooked properly. The most succulent comes from the center cut, but the rib cut and loin are delicious, too. A fast-cooking recipe can be made by seasoning the pork slices with cumin and paprika, then sauteing them in a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat for about five minutes a side. A quick sauce is made by cooking some onions with vinegar.
An ideal accompaniment for Easter is lentils, which, aside from being delicious, are a superb source of fiber and a substantial source of protein. All sorts of fancy new imported lentils, like French green ones, are available in specialty stores, some costing $1 a pound or more. I have tried them and found no discernible difference from the basic American brands.
Be sure to pick over the lentils carefully before cooking because they often contain little stones. I always blanch lentils before cooking them, usually in water seasoned with some onions and cloves. They are delicious cooked with some leeks, onions and garlic. At the end of the cooking I like to add some crushed tomatoes for color and extra flavor and a sprinkling of parsley before serving. The variations of seasonings for lentils are endless; you may want to add coriander, cumin or any other favorite herb. Medallions of Pork With Lentils 8 boneless loin of pork slices, about 3 ounces each, trimmed of fat Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar 1/2 cup fresh or canned chicken broth 1 tablespoon butter Cooked lentils (see recipe).
1.Place the pork slices in a flat dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with paprika and cumin.
2.Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the slices in one layer. When the oil is very hot add the slices and cook over moderately high heat for about 5 minutes or until brown.
3.Turn the slices and cook for about 5 minutes more. Reduce the heat and continue cooking about 2 minutes, turning the slices occasionally.
4.Transfer the meat to a warm serving dish and keep warm.
5.Pour off most of the fat from the skillet. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until wilted and lightly browned. Add the vinegar and broth. Stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom of the pan. Cook until reduced to about Y cup. Add the butter and blend well.
6.Serve the meat with the lentils and spoon the sauce over the slices of meat.
Yield: 4 servings. Lentils 2 cups lentils 4 cups water Salt to taste 2 whole cloves 1 small onion 1 bay leaf 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or 1/2 teaspoon dried 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 leek, finely chopped 3/4 cup finely chopped onions 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic 1 cup crushed tomatoes Freshly ground pepper to taste 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
1.Pick over the lentils and discard any foreign particles. Rinse the lentils well. Drain.
2.Put the lentils in a saucepan and add the water and salt. Bring to a boil. Stick the cloves into the onion and add to the saucepan with the bay leaf and marjoram. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
3.Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan and add the leek, chopped onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Do not brown.
4.Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 5 minutes.
5.When the lentils are tender, drain. Add them to the leek mixture and bring to a boil. Add the parsley and serve.
Yield: 4 servings.

Henry James described John Burroughs as a "more humorous, more available, and more sociable Thoreau." Burroughs's close friend and mentor Walt Whitman called him an "Audubon of prose." Throughout his long writing career, the Catskills and Hudson Valley native infused his writing with images of nature as seen and experienced within his own home region. "Nature comes home to one most when he is at home;" he wrote, "the stranger and traveler finds her a stranger and traveler also. One's own landscape comes in time to be a sort of outlying part of himself; he has sowed himself broadcast upon it, and it reflects his own moods and feelings; he is sensitive to the verge of the horizon: cut those trees, and he bleeds; mar those hills, and he suffers." With this poetic sensibility and emphasis on the local, Burroughs created a unique literature of nature - one aptly represented by the essays here-in.
JOHN BURROUGHS (1837-1921) was the author of some 28 books of essays on nature, literature and natural philosophy. Born and raised on a dairy farm in the Catskills, in 1873 he took up residence on the banks of the Hudson River at West Park, New York. His essays were widely printed in such publications as The Atlantic Monthly, St. Nicholas and The Century Magazine. In addition to Walt Whitman, he counted among his friends such notables as John Muir.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Technical elegance and fine performances mask the shallowness of a story as simpleminded as the '50s TV to which it condescends.
Fresh: Ingeniously conceived and impressively executed, "Pleasantville" is a provocative, complex and surprisingly anti-nostalgic parable wrapped in the beguiling guise of a commercial high-concept comedy.
Fresh: This wonderful film speaks volumes about prejudice, the freedom of ideas, and the joys of diversity.
Fresh: Wildly ambitious!
Customer Reviews
Amazing Flick, a Must Buy
My brother and I saw this in the theater thinking it would be a silly slapstick comedy. Wow, we were wrong. Not only was the story extremely enjoyable and thoughtful, but the special effects were actually quite stunning as well - like when a tree lights on fire and reflects in color onto black and white objects. ...there's a reason it's at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A Touching, Realistic Portrayl of the Perfect Life
As you watch the movie, you really get a clear glimpse on what society would be like if we were to all live in the perfect world, with the perfect life. It really shows you the reality of how life would truly be. There would be no emotion, sense of knowledge, or sadness. Quite frankly, it would be as boring as you could get. No excitement. Just the same routine day after day. Honestly, it is a great movie, as you really watch it.
I like it
This movie gives you a warm feeling. It makes you think, and it makes you laugh. Pleasantville has a great cast and I really do recommend it.

It has been a concern for some time that the distinction between party and government has become blurred, a function of the fact that a single party has been in office for far too long. With this appointment, the Prime Minister makes it clear that he is either indifferent to this concern, or that he too is blind to the difference.
It would be nave to imagine that the party political implications of government policy does not play a significant part in the formation of strategy. It is worrying, however, that this seems at times to be the sole driving force behind government decision-making. The Conservative Party does seem to have lost track of its goals and ideals, the only objective now is to hang on in government.
The appointment of Jeremy Hanley, probably a perfectly reasonable chap, as minister without portfolio is a signal that the Government is likely to continue to be preoccupied with party political advantage rather than tackling the very serious problems facing this country.

Increasing Number Of Cyber Attacks And Sony Corp (ADR) (SNE)'s Woes
Though the North Korean government has denied its hand in hack attacks on Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE), its official statement did not carry any criticism of the attack. Rather, the government called the attack "righteous." Its statement aired through state-run news channel said, "We do not know where in America the Sony Pictures is situated and for what wrongdoings it became the target of the attack nor we feel the need to know about it."
Denial But Happy
It is still believed that North Korea is the one behind the hack attacks on Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE), which could be in response to its movie "The Interview." The movie is based on the secret mission of two TV interviewers, who conspire to murder Kim Jong Un. North Korea has already showed its anguish over the subject matter picked by Sony and is happy that the hacking incident might teach Sony its lesson.
Its official statement conveys the tone, which said, "The hacking into the Sony Pictures might be a righteous deed of the supporters and sympathizers with the DPRK in response to its appeal." Un is the supreme leader of Democratic Peoples Republic (DPRK) of Korea.
Similarity Of Malware
Another link pointing fingers to the involvement of North Korea is the similarity of hack attacks. It came to light that the malware used in hacking South Korean TV broadcasters and banks in 2013 and those for Sony are same, which bulks up the belief about North Korea's potential involvement. Two weeks back Sony Corp (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) found tons of secret corporate documents leaked out, and now some of its employees have received emails threatening their security. The leaked documents of the company were sourced from an IP address located in Bangkok, Thailand. The investigations are on, and computer security experts signal involvement of an activist hacker group based on the targeted documents and ultimatum to Sony.

The Tindley Collegiate Academy is an outgrowth of the Charles A. Tindley Accelerated School – often referred to simply as "The Tindley School" – Indiana's first-ever accelerated school.
The Tindley School opened its doors in 2004 in a former grocery store located in the Meadows, a low-income urban neighborhood on the northside of Indianapolis. A charter school for students in grades 6-12, The Tindley School quickly garnered a reputation as one of Indianapolis's most successful charter schools, earning the National Blue Ribbon Schools Award in 2010. True to its motto "College or Die," the Tindley School has so far sent every single one of its graduates to a respected college or university.
In 2011, the Tindley Accelerated Schools was approved to open a second charter school, Tindley Preparatory Academy, a school for middle school boys. Soon afterward came Tindley Collegiate Academy, for middle school girls. While operating under the same accelerated model as the Tindley School, Tindley Collegiate is a female-only campus, with curriculum and teaching techniques designed to meet the unique socio-emotional needs of adolescent girls.

Rivalry or not, take Notre Dame
Credit: Unknown
If Notre Dame's Brian Kelly ever gets bored coaching football, he may consider a career in politics. After all, he has already mastered the one skill most needed in Washington — the flip-flop.
Notre Dame is joining the ACC in all sports except football and men's hockey, but the deal includes the Irish gridsters joining the league's bowl rotation in 2014 and playing five of its teams each season. ND was forced to cancel games with Michigan scheduled for 2015-17, making tomorrow's clash the teams' last in Ann Arbor.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke said the Irish were "chickening out" and a defensive Kelly countered on Monday that Michigan was not one of ND's traditional rivals. That opinion lasted until a Tuesday press conference when he flip-flopped and declared the Wolverines were indeed a "great and historic" rival.
All the drama can only heighten the intensity of a game that often goes down to the wire. The underdog has dominated this matchup of late, so take a shot with Notre Dame getting 4 points.
In other games:
Wake Forest (+3) over BOSTON COLLEGE — An Eagles defense that struggled vs. FCS team Villanova will be hard-pressed to contain Deacons QB Tanner Price. BC's dreams of a 2-0 start go up in smoke.
Central Florida (-241⁄2) over FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL — George O'Leary's Knights have already topped Akron 38-7, and a similar result seems likely vs. FIU, which lost 43-10 at Maryland.
MICHIGAN STATE (-231⁄2) over South Florida — The Spartans didn't look sharp in last week's sloppy win over Western Michigan, but they should get healthy against a Bulls team that was outscored 31-0 in the second quarter of a 53-21 loss to FCS team McNeese State.
OHIO (-41⁄2) over North Texas — The Bobcats ran into a buzzsaw last week in Louisville, but they should find the going much easier vs. the Mean Green.
OKLAHOMA (-21) over West Virginia — The Sooners defense had to circle this game after yielding a school record 778 yards in last season's 50-49 win over the Mountaineers. With West Virginia rebuilding, the OU defenders get their payback.
OHIO STATE (-28) over San Diego State — OSU jumped out to a quick 23-0 lead over Buffalo before Urban Meyer took his foot off the gas in winning 40-20 last week over the Bulls. That resulted in the Buckeyes dropping a spot in the polls to an Oregon team that routed Wofford 66-3, so expect Meyer to take no prisoners here.
Oregon (-221⁄2) over VIRGINIA — Chip Kelly has left for the NFL, but the Quack Attack hasn't missed a beat. Despite making a cross-country trip, the Ducks should easily outpoint a Virginia team that gained just 223 yards of offense in its opener vs. BYU.
Texas (-7) over BYU — The Longhorns overpowered New Mexico State 56-7 last week, and they'll ride that momentum over the 0-1 Cougars, who handed last week's game to Virginia courtesy of a blocked punt and interception that led to short TD drives.
BALL STATE (-71⁄2) over Army — The Black Knights started the season with an easy home win over Morgan State, but the journey gets a lot tougher on the road vs. a Ball State team expected to be a major player in the MAC.
USC (-151⁄2) over Washington State — The Trojans looked sluggish in last week's win at Hawaii, but they have won 15 straight home openers, most in blowout fashion, and they've dominated this series the past decade, winning the last four by 39 points per game.
STANFORD (-251⁄2) over San Jose State — Season opener for the Cardinal, who many experts figure to be a top contender for the national title. And with nine starters back from last year's fifth-ranked defense, a veteran offensive line and experienced skill people, the optimism is justified.
Last week: 6-7-0.

SEOs love to overcomplicate things so let's be clear, Google has one objective – to rank great content from great brands.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that under the bonnet there isn't an incredibly complex algorithm with endless technical components that can each have implications for your rankings, but there are several problems with this granular approach:
– You don't always know which of these tactics is going to have a positive effect
– The effect is likely to be marginal
– Even if there is a positive effect, you don't know how the algorithm will evolve in the future
Yes, conduct a complete SEO audit, both on-page and off-page, but rather than trying to game the system focus on what actually matters to the user:
– A secure domain
– Fast loading pages
– An intuitive navigation

Above all, have a real strategy for the brand. By brand, I don't mean "brand signals", I mean the actual brand. The thing that exists offline as well as online and impacts every moment of the customer experience.
This may sound like something entirely unrelated to SEO, but it is going to make your life as an SEO so much easier….
When you focus on pure tactics, if one doesn't work then it can seem like a complete waste of time. However, if EVERYTHING you do ties back to the same core themes and values, then it is all building your brand equity, both in the eyes of the user and Google. Every blog post, link, tweet and web page is reinforcing your position as authority for that particular audience and that particular set of keywords.
Whilst I'm not about to suggest that social can have the same impact as link acquisition on rankings, even the most traditional SEO would have to accept that Google is constantly seeking to expand the range of signals it uses to determine quality and trust. Many would argue whether or not Google would ever use bounce rate, for example, as a signal, but surely what we can all agree on is that if users are engaging more with a brand (however exactly that is measured) that has to be a good thing!
Influencer marketing is one of the most effective ways of attracting quality, legitimate links from within your target audience, but they're only going to want to engage with you if they are attracted to the brand. More on this in my next post.

Nothing is ever really new. As much as we love to act like we know tonnes of stuff that traditional marketers don't, it's just not true. Of course some of the channels through which we…
I don't know if this is a controversial viewpoint or not, but I'm pretty sure monthly reporting is bullshit. I get that the analysis needs to happen, and I get that some clients (usually marketing…
We've all been there. Some smart ass asks you to explain your target audience, USP or value proposition and it seems that no matter what you say they shoot you down - "It's too generic.…
