Great fit and quality! Color matches nicely. Texture is good unlike the carpet types. Just wish they would add more velco strips for the install. Have had DashTex in other vehicles and very satisfied, and excellent product and value,

The dash cover was easy to install and the fit was exact to the car's design. To keep it from slipping the velcro tapes helped keep it down and snug.

This dash cover is tasteful, well made and enhances the interior of our Lexus. We had several scratches on the dash and this cover does the job and then some. We highly recommend this cover.

I ordered the Dash Cover for our Ram pickup. I am most pleased with its appearance. Our GPS would slide from corner to corner, but with the dash cover, it will stay in place. This is our second purchase of the dash cover. We are pleased with both.

A novel idea with KVMR
April 18, 2013
It may be the only novel ever set at KVMR Radio, at least so far in the literary world.
Storyteller, writer and radio producer Joe McHugh's "Kilowatt," a 2007 hardback now being reprinted in paperback, uses the Nevada City community radio station as a backdrop for a story about two KVMR journalists who get inspired to investigate an energy company that claims it's discovered a revolutionary process for generating clean, affordable electricity.
McHugh — a former Nevada City resident now living in Olympia, Wash. — is in town this weekend for a multimedia presentation based on his new book, "Slaying The Gorgon: The Rise of the Storytelling Industrial Complex," at the North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center 7:30 p.m. Friday. He'll also do a Saturday afternoon workshop on "The Way Of The Storyteller" at 1 p.m. Saturday (see separate story).
Also, McHugh will be a guest at 9:15 a.m. Friday on The Morning Show (KVMR 89.5 FM, kvmr.org streaming), where signed copies of both "Kilowatt" and "Slaying The Gorgon" will be available as thank-you gifts for the station's continuing on-air spring membership drive. Listeners can call 530-265-9555 to become KVMR supporters.
McHugh's involvement with KVMR included a stint on the station's Board of Directors and as producer/creator of a family stories series called "The Telling Takes Us Home," which won a grant from KVMR funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He's also a longtime advocate of live radio theater in the old-time tradition.
And he has some family ties to KVMR as well.
His son, Patrick, was the station's youngest member of the Program Committee while in high school in the 1990s and his daughter, Anna, did a KVMR special called "The Public Defender" for her senior year project. That program — featuring a profile of then-public defense lawyer Anne Moore — won the prestigious national Golden Reel Award for Best Local Documentary from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters in 2000.
The book "Kilowatt" itself — with some characters loosely based on KVMR personalities from the '90s era — becomes a suspenseful page-turner as the two KVMR reporters go to Texas to track down possible corporate corruption and end up getting involved with ruthless Russian mobsters, Texas oil men and dedicated reformers.
A PRRRfect benefit
It's a way to see some acclaimed regional theater and raise money for the new KVMR Radio Building and Nevada Theater expansion at the same time. Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra is doing a benefit performance of this year's production, "Journey To The West," at 8 p.m. Friday at, ta da, the Nevada Theatre itself.
The play is a fascinating adventure story based on a Chinese classic about a pilgrimage to enlightenment in search of sacred Buddhist scriptures. It incorporates drama, comedy and original music suitable for all ages. Word on the street is that this is one classy production (see Prospector review, page 20). And ticketgoers will help the building project for the Nevada Theater and KVMR be in even better financial condition.
Take me out to the …
If there's one radio show on baseball you'll want to hear, both fans and non-fans, it's this Sunday night at 8 p.m. (KVMR 89.5 FM, kvmr.org streaming) when the legendary U. Utah Phillips greets the baseball season in an encore "Loafer's Glory."
The late Phillips, who was a regular fixture at Little League games at Pioneer Park in Nevada City each summer, gathers up his favorite baseball songs, quotes and rants and has a hoot. It was one of Utah's favorite episodes from his national radio series.
The show will run right after this week's eTown (7 p.m.) that features Sacramento rock band Cake and singer-songwriter Eliza Gilykerson as live musical guests.
A weekly wrap-up of news and oddities about community radio station KVMR (89.5 FM, kvmr.org streaming), a noncommercial station offering diverse musical programming, independent news and provocative public affairs from about 150 volunteer "citizen-broadcasters." Complete program listings are available at kvmr.org.

Can someone please help me?
I know my phone is still on- because I still hear incoming call rings and text notification, but there's no way to see anything on the screen because the screen is completely black. The only way to turn off the phone is to remove battery. I tried soft reset several times but still dark screen (only 3 navigation buttons at the bottom light up). I have already requested a replacement from verizon but before doing so, I need to get access to my phone to transfer photos and files. I connected the USB to my Mac and it recognizes the device, but no folders showed up in my phone!! I haven't yet got around to synch photos to skydrive and then this happend!!
I called Nokia but they can't help me much because they can't naviagate a black screen. I think those files are still somewhere in my internal 16GB so I don't want to return the phone without first attempting to get those files out. If I absolutely can't salvage those photos and files, I rather erase them myself so no one at Nokia or Verizon will have access to those files. But I can't view anything on the screen so what are my options? Please help! Thanks!

Did you have a lock code on your phone? If so, that is why you are not able to see your phone folders on your PC. If you didn't have a lock code, then you should be able to see your phone folders when connected to your PC. Have you downloaded the Windows Phone desktop app for your Mac from the App Store?
Can you swipe down at the top of the screen to see if it will show the status bar, i.e. the network status, the battery indicator, etc? Have you tried a hard reset? Note: this will wipe your device, i.e. remove your photos, apps etc. Restoring th phone at restart will bring back your email accoutns and apps but NOT your photos, vidoes or music, so this may not the best solution for you.
How to perform a hard reset:
With the phone turned off, press Power key to turn ON the phone, then immediately press and hold Volume Down key.
2. An "!" mark will appear on the display.
3. Press the following keys in this order:
o Volume up
o Volume Down
o Power Key
o Volume Down
o Device will now reset.
Let me know if this helps.

Did you try to plug it in to a Windows 8 computer? You should be able to see what is on your phone.
Hi, thank you for your response.. I don't think there's a lock code on my phone. My Mac does recognize a Lumia 822 folder in iPhoto but it showed 0 photos. Strangely, it doesn't show on Finder under devices. There's no response when I swipe down at the top of the screen, still black but 3 navigations at the bottom seem to work. I can feel the vibration when I tab any of these three when light's on, but of course, nothing on the screen. Let me try downloading the WP desktop app to see what happens. I will need to first successfully upgrade to OS X 10.7 because it's Snow Leopard. I am just frantically trying to find ways to recover those photos before hard reset... Will keep you posted! Thanks again..
Hi, after trying all your suggestions i am sad to say nothing worked so i finally sent the defect phone back today. i am not sure if hard reset took place because there's nothing on the screen (not even an "!" mark). i spoke with verizon's tech support, they said they automatically wipes the memory once they receive the phone then upload diagnostic program to determine whether is was software or hardware.. as i mentioned to gapost, it's a really hard and painful lesson for me. nothing can ever replace lost photos!! :( thanks much for coming to an aid....

The global website replaces the Global Law Department and Cross-border pages on the old website.

|Posted by old man on February 20, 2004 at 13:19:33:
|In response to Re: Well / Tank / Filter
: We recently bought a new home. We have a 250' well with a Morris 3/4hp 7gpm submersible pump. The well is about 125' from the house (uphill to the house). It comes into the basement through a check valve with a pressure gauge (stuck at 45). It then tees into a Well-X-Trol WX-203 pressure tank (32 gal.). Following that the pressure switch and then an Omni U25 canister filter with a TO1 carbon filter (recently changed). The feed pipes throughout the house are 3/4" inner diameter. The pipes teed off the feed pipe to each faucet is 1/2" inner diameter. I have checked all the on/off valves in the system and made sure that the filter is not partially closed. I have cleaned the aerators throughout the house. We noticed sand in the filter and the aerators when we first moved in. So, when the wiring in the well was recently replaced (10 years old), I had them raise the pump 10'. The tank seems to cycle appropriately. It comes on after the water has been run for a while and doesn't constantly cycle.
: All that being said, my water pressure is lousy - especially on the the 2nd floor. When the washing machine is on, there is barely a trickle on the 2nd floor. Could there be sand restricting the system in/around the pressure tank? What else can I check?:
Whoever helps you on this one (not me) will need to know what your water depth is actually at. old man

Dressier than flip flops
"I got these for a weekend away because I wanted something nicer than flip flops. I wore these almost the whole weekend and they were very comfortable. The color is a good neutral to go with anything and the gold accents dress it up even more. I rated it as slightly narrow because my foot is wide near the toes (bunions) and my foot hangs off the inside edge a bit. Still comfy though!"

Too wide
"I've been looking for the perfect sandals that aren't too flat. When I got these I was soo excited. However, they were not adjustable at all so they ended up being too wide for my feet."

Orange Lutheran drama comes full circle with 'Into The Woods'
2013 is a big year for Orange Lutheran High School. Not only is it the 40th anniversary of the school but it's also the 10th anniversary of their prestigious Alexandria Nechita Center, a 720-seat professional theater that has been hosting plays and concerts for the community since 2003.
In honor of the Nechita Center anniversary, drama teacher Danielle Frazier decided this would be the perfect opportunity to re-showcase a production that was put on for the opening of the Nechita 10 years ago. The musical "Into the Woods" won't just be a full circle moment for the Nechita but for Frazier as well, who starred in that production a decade ago.
Frazier, who has been the drama instructor at Orange Lutheran for the past five years, said the première of the show would be a big moment for her and her students.
"I never thought I'd get to come back in this capacity, I always just thought I'd be a fan, so its just amazing to see how much has changed in 10 years," said Frazer. "I knew how much theater meant to me when I was here so to get to be a part of this on the other side is just a whole other level of special in my opinion."
Frazier adapted Steven Sondheim's "Into the Woods" for her students incorporating the same music and fairy tale whimsy but with a little twist that she says audiences will be more than surprised by.
"Even if you think you've seen it before you haven't see our way of it," said Frazier. "We've twisted it a little bit and it seriously is just one of the most incredible shows you're going to hear or see."
The Orange Lutheran production of "Into the Woods" stars 23 students in the roles of various fairytale characters from the classic stories. The difference between this story, however, is what the characters experience after the "happily ever after."
With learning the lines and musical numbers that take place within the production, students say the audience will be thoroughly entertained. Sophomore Anthony Skillman, who plays the character of Jack from "Jack and the Beanstalk," said audiences should watch for the show's visual elements.
"I'm really excited for people to see the technical aspect of the play," said Skillman. "This is a really tech-heavy show, there's a lot of lights, a lot of moving pieces and its really colorful. So when we pull it off it's going to look really amazing."
The students involved in the production went through a grueling audition process and worked for two and a half months rehearsing their parts. Junior Kristen Orr, who plays the Witch, said though she isn't necessarily sure she wants to become an actress, she's learned a lot of skills through the process of the preparing for the play.
"Public speaking and being confident about myself is something that I've learned being in drama," said Orr. "That and balancing school and the afterschool activities I'm interested in. It's just a matter of balancing and putting your best into everything. "
Orr said she enjoyed playing the character of the Witch because whether people believe it or not, she is a relatable character and that a lesson can be taken from each of the characters in the musical.
"I think people will really relate to one of the characters or all of the characters," said Orr. "Its not just entertainment, it'll leave you thinking; it's a pretty impactful show."
Sophomore Jeremy Thulemeyer said he hopes people will feel the emotion and hard work that the cast and crew have put into the production and that through the process he and his classmates really bonded which can be seen onstage.
"It's a good play that has a lot of heart," said Thulemeyer. "It's really just a lot about friendship, too, because we're all just one big happy family."
"Into the Woods" will debut April 20 and will run for five nights. Frazier and her students will be joined by esteemed alumni and parents on opening night for the celebration of the Nechita anniversary.
Frazier said after all the hard work that has been put into the show she's more excited than nervous for the opening night.
"There's something so special about when the curtain opens the first night even more so than the curtain call," said Fraizer. "Because that's the moment where it all comes to life. I'm just excited for that moment where I get to sit back and watch them put themselves out there. It's going to be fantastic."

Skip to comments.Sandra Fluke nominated for Time Person of Year
Posted on 11/26/2012 9:52:42 PM PST by massmike
She became the face for the pro-abortion movement during the 2012 elections and the laughingstock of pro-lifers for her relentless push to force Americans to pay for her birth control. College student Sandra Fluke has been nominated as a potential Person of the Year by Time Magazine.
Fluke is apparently unable to figure out how to purchase low-cost birth control from places like Target, Wal-Mart or her local pharmacy. Still, Time magazine felt she was qualified enough to include her with legitimate newsmakers and leaders who are significantly more deserving of the award and recognition.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Perfectly explains the election
Well, to be fair, she did more to deserve the (worthless) Time award than Obama did to earn the (also worthless) Nobel Prize.
I wonder if when the Roman Empire fell were there people like this who helped cause it. If we do go down can we at least have some dignity?
Clearly, greatness is no longer the criterion for such selection. Notoriety, I would have to grant her.
Perfect! It was a Fluked up year!
Was Cindy Sheehan ever nominated by TIME? Fluke is the 2012 version of Cindy Sheehan.
Anything to poke the "pompous" righties....
(It spotlights so much about the once-and-former news magazine, and their comrades within the once-great Democratic Party. More than the alleged editors would ever see.)
My choice would have been the Fraudulent Voter 2012 but I'm not going to do Time's job for them.
I supported him, but I think the election loss was 100% Romney's.
A real candidate, would have beat Obama this year.
If Sandra Fluke wins the Time Person of the year, that award has become totally bogus.
Just my .02
And while we're giving away prizes, the guy whose services demanded the need for that free birth control deserves some sort of recognition or award. At least nose plugs and a respirator. C'mon.
Ah isn't it wonderful when people can boldly pretend to live in vacuums.
It makes sense. In an age of cluelessness the most clueless wins.
Let's give her a standing ovulation!
And a 2 by 4 and some rope.
Incredible. They are throwing the lies onto us like hot oil from the Machicolations. But we will grow stronger because the call of freedom calls us to overcome all hinderments.
Now that's excessive. I think being Sandra Fluke's sex partner is its own punishment.
She deserves the... oh, good grief revrund get your mind outta the gutter!
Fluke hoping that Time won't abort its decision
They still misspelled her last name unless she is a fish. Her last name should reflect what she wants to do all the time, at $3,000 a year.
How do you say, "Sandra is a four letter verb".
Why not after all. She is the perfect face of modern craziness. Go the whole hog, Time. Don't hold back. Make it Miz Fluke.
Sandra Fluke? The same Sandra that rallied "about 10" supporters outside the sack-o-suds?! This pathetic excuse for an independent women doesn't even warrant a mention in Rolling Stone.... which is probably why she went a step below, TIME.
I never quite figured out what she was trying to prove, even under a warped set of assumptions. It sounded more like a blatant bait-and-switch.
If the dumb bitch Fluke wanted cheaper birth control pills then why not make them an over the counter medicine, there would be lot of competition and the price would drop to that of aspirin, no, instead we get to pay prescription price with our tax monies!!!!
Dumb B*tch!
It's all about getting the recognition, the new normal, the old "stifling" moralities chucked out.
Her tribe is not going to be satisfied with a mundane "oh, that doesn't make any sense at all."
You gotta be Fluke-ing kidding me.
LOL. They made more sense awarding Hitler with that title at the time:)
On the cover of a 9 page magazine.
After ads are accounted for....
Award and recognition from an irrelevant rag.
There is no longer anything or anyone to stop it .....
There is one who can stop it. But how many in the USA are turning to that one?
Floooke that.. Time Cover belongs to KandiE CROWlay!
Give her a Nobel Peace prize as well. They both mean squat to anybody who has a brain.
Time's Person of the Year has become almost as big of a joke as Nobel's Peace Prize. Both of the 'awards' now go to the latest leftist loser.
Time's Person of the Year has become almost as big of a joke as Nobel's Peace Prize. Both of the 'awards' now go to the latest leftist loser.
And Sandra rhymes with that!
Aren't they also looking for a new Secretary of State?
Time Magazine's editors, like most liberals, delight in poking the public with sticks. Like spoiled brats, they demand to be noticed.
More evidence of Satan busy at work destroying our civilization and damning millions by their rejection of God.
Millions and tens of millions are with CHRIST.

Comfy shoe, except for trim
"I love this shoe, and I need something with a bit of height to walk the two miles to and from work every day to save my high arches. However, by the time I got to work in the morning I had some serious blisters on the back of my feet because the binding on the shoe was folding up and causing blisters. I ended up having to scotch tape the backs of the heel just to make it home.Would be fine with socks, or nylons."

The UGT-Glo™ Assay provides a luminescent method for measuring UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activity. The UGT-Glo™ Assay is designed to measure UGT activity from a variety of sources, such as microsomes containing recombinantly expressed enzymes or microsomal preparations derived from mammalian tissues, and to test the effects of various chemicals on UGT activity.
The assay involves incubating UGT with a proluciferin substrate; a portion of the substrate gets conjugated with UDP, while the remainder is unmodified. Upon the addition of d-Cysteine, the unconjugated proluciferin is converted into luciferin and, ...

The assay involves incubating UGT with a proluciferin substrate; a portion of the substrate gets conjugated with UDP, while the remainder is unmodified. Upon the addition of d-Cysteine, the unconjugated proluciferin is converted into luciferin and, in a coupled reaction with luciferase/luciferin, is converted into light. Conjugated proluciferin remains intact and does not contribute to the luminescence. Thus, the signal generated is inversely correlated with UGT activity present in the sample.
The UGT-Glo™ Assay contains two proluciferin substrates: the UGT Multienzyme Substrate, which is compatible with a wide range of UGTs, and the UGT1A4 Substrate, which reacts specifically with UGT1A4. The kit also contains Luciferin Detection Reagent and Reconstitution Buffer, UGT Buffer, d-Cysteine and UDPGA. The UGT-Glo™ Screening Systems contain the above reagents as well as the respective UGT isoforms and control membranes.

UGT enzymes attach a glucuronic acid moiety to the proluciferin substrate. During the detection step, the unconjugated proluciferin is converted to luciferin by cyclization with D-cysteine and then converted into light by luciferase. Glucuronidated proluciferin does not get converted into luciferin, and thus does not produce light. Light output is inversely proportional to UGT enzymatic activity.

TSA makes little boy remove shirt during pat down UPDATE: TSA responds
posted at 12:00 pm on November 21, 2010 by The Right Scoop
via Wire Update:
A disturbing video surfaced on Friday night showing what appears to be a TSA agent strip searching a young boy, with his father standing nearby. The video, which was uploaded to Youtube by user lukemtait, was filmed while a boy was randomly selected to undergo a random security check.
The video's description read, "Lets get the facts straight first. Before the video started the boy went through a metal detector and didn't set it off but was selected for a pat down. The boy was shy so the TSA couldn't complete the full pat on the young boy. The father tried several times to just hold the boys arms out for the TSA agent but i guess it didn't end up being enough for the guy. I was about 30 ft away so i couldn't hear their conversation if there was any. The enraged father pulled his son shirt off and gave it to the TSA agent to search, thats when this video begins."
This is sure to enrage lots of parents and it should. I understand the need for security, but this is such overkill. It's really starting to feel like an incompetent administration, who doesn't want to have another bombing attempt on its watch, is going to extraordinary means to ensure it doesn't look bad. I mean, yeah, it's about the American public's safety, I get that. But with this level of privacy invasion, it is also starting to feel political as well.
I'm sure there are a lot of these stories out there, but another one that caught my attention happened in August where a TSA agent forced a breast cancer survivor to remove her breast implant during a pat down. You can read more about that here.
UPDATE: The TSA responds to the above video (h/t Verum Serum):
A video is being widely circulated showing a shirtless boy receiving secondary screening from a Transportation Security Officer (TSO). A passenger filmed the screening with their cell phone and posted the video on the web. Many are coming to their own conclusions about what's happening in the video which is now perched at the top of the Drudge report and being linked to in many other blogs and tweets. We looked into this to find out what happened.
On November 19, a family was traveling through a TSA checkpoint at the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). Their son alarmed the walk through metal detector and needed to undergo secondary screening. The boy's father removed his son's shirt in an effort to expedite the screening. After our TSO completed the screening, he helped the boy put his shirt back on. That's it. No complaints were filed and the father was standing by his son for the entire procedure.
It should be mentioned that you will not be asked to and you should not remove clothing (other than shoes, coats and jackets) at a TSA checkpoint. If you're asked to remove your clothing, you should ask for a supervisor or manager.

Channel change of the upper Umatilla River during and between flood periods : variability and ecological implicationsHughes, Michael L. (University of Oregon, December , 2008)[more][less]Hughes, Michael L. 2009-11-13T00:50:05Z 2009-11-13T00:50:05Z 2008-12 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/9960 xv, 137 p. : ill., maps. A print copy of this title is available through the UO Libraries under the call number: KNIGHT GB565.O7 H84 2008 This study examines the role of floods in shaping the geomorphology of the multichannel, gravel-bed upper Umatilla River, northeastern Oregon, USA. Three parts are presented: (1) the development and application of an error-sensitive aerial photo-based planform channel-change detection and measurement methodology, (2) an examination of the occurrence, variability, and landform impacts of channel widening, straightening, and lateral movement during two mid-to-Iate 20th century flood periods, (3) an investigation of the effects of these floods on channel complexity, a proxy of habitat quality and indicator of ecological health in multi-channel rivers. Floods in 1964-5 (17- to 37-year recurrence interval) scoured, widened, and straightened the active channel in conjunction with large lateral movements, bar accretion, and capture of marginal vegetated areas by lateral scour. Following the flood, lateral movements were smaller, the channel narrowed, and bars, scoured areas, and vegetation lapsed from the channel. A similar flood in 1975 also scoured, widened, and straightened the channel; however, lateral channel movement and changes in channellandforrns were less in 1975 due to latent adjustment of the channel to the first flood. Migratory straightening, meander cutoffs, and avulsions dominated lateral movements during flood periods, whereas episodes of migratory (lateral) extension and (downstream) translation of meanders dominated lateral movement between flood periods. Channel changes were spatially variable and generally greater in reaches with wide floodplains. Floods reduced the overall complexity of the river channel, although the magnitude of change was highly variable and some areas increased in complexity in response to flooding. By contrast, channel complexity increased in the period between floods, particularly in laterally confined areas where complexity loss was high during the first flood period. Two key processes appear to most affect channel complexity: (a) lateral scour and avulsions, which capture vegetation into the channel, and (2) migrations of the main channel, which reflect bar accretion and dissection. Results of this study are broadly congruent with theories (and their corollaries) emphasizing adjustment of channel dimensions, increased rates of change, and reduced complexity in response to flood disturbance, but only partially consistent with theories emphasizing large geomorphic changes in structurally confined settings.

The Bears hired a pair of assistant coaches Friday to join Marc Trestman's new staff.
Matt Cavanaugh was named as quarterbacks coach after spending the past four seasons in the same role with the New York Jets. Meanwhile, Skip Peete was named as running backs coach after spending the past six seasons in the same role with the Dallas Cowboys.
Both men have previous ties to either Trestman or the Bears.
Peete, who is the brother of former NFL quarterback Rodney Peete, worked alongside Trestman on the Oakland Raiders' coaching staff before heading to Dallas. The Raiders led the league in rushing in 2000 and posted the NFL's No. 1 overall offense in 2002.
Cavanaugh served as the Bears' offensive coordinator from 1997 to 1998. In his first season calling plays, Erik Kramer passed for 3,011 yards and Raymont Harris rushed for 1,033 yards.
Bears general manager Phil Emery said he hoped to have the coaching staff fully assembled by the middle of next week. The Bears' biggest vacancy is defensive coordinator after Rod Marinelli decided not to return after four seasons with the team.

Disputes surround short-term Dana Point rentals
For more than six years, the city of Dana Point and residents along the coast have tried to hash out a workable solution for short-term vacation rentals in town.
The issue has been a source of contention as it pits the rights of property owners against the rights of residents to live in peace, free from disturbances. On one end of the spectrum, you have people such as longtime Beach Road resident Charlie Hoose, who say the excessive number of vacationers degrades their quality of life.
For Hoose, living next to rental properties has been a never-ending nuisance of strangers who do not respect residents. He said renters leave behind excess trash, create roadway congestion and violate noise regulations. Hoose has been dealing with this for a decade, he said.
"I don't think you should subject the residential property owner to that kind of abuse," he said. "Would you want a vacation rental next to you?"
On the other end of the spectrum there are rental owners such as Jeff Perry, who argue that not only have they had good experiences with renters, but it's also their right as property owners to rent out their condos, especially when it helps offset the cost for many owners.
Perry said he doesn't agree with the idea that rentals degrade the quality of life because the city is, and always has been, a vacation destination.
Perry grew up in San Juan Capistrano. He bought a Dana Point condo in 2007 for personal use but started renting it out to help offset the cost, he said. Perry now owns Vacation Concierge, a business to help people manage their rental properties.
"From my experience growing up, Beach Road has always existed as a vacation rental place," he said.
Both sides have been at an impasse for years, unable, or unwilling, to find a compromise. Hoose said there can be no compromise because residential and commercial use are not compatible. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the city's municipal code does not mention short-term vacation rentals.
Dana Point operates under a permissive municipal code – meaning things are assumed to be illegal unless they are specified – and as there is no mention of these rentals, they are technically not allowed. Despite this, there are between 250 and 300 active rentals in Dana Point, according estimates in a Feb. 5 City Council report.
This only fuels the opposition to short-term rentals. The municipal code doesn't allow for short-term rentals, so the argument is moot, Hoose said. Hoose grew up on Balboa Island and said he saw renters ruin the area. He has been vocal about Dana Point's failure to crack down on short-term rentals because he believes allowing them will eventually ruin this city, too, he said.
But after dragging its feet since 2007, the City Council voted March 5 to push forward an ordinance to amend the city code and allow short-term rentals with an approved permit.
The ordinance requires rental property owners to apply for an annual permit with the city and implements regulations properties must adhere to – including property inspection and occupant limitations. Most notably it applies the city's transient occupancy tax, a 10 percent tax to the rent charged to vacationers.
City Manager Doug Chotkevys said the lack of renting standards in the past created confusion and the ordinance will provide much-needed clarity.
"Basically our intent, and I think the council's intent, is to create a set of rules that allow these businesses to operate in a quiet and respectful manner for these neighbors," he said. "The thing I appreciate is that we finally have rules, by which everyone can operate."
But the city isn't just getting a set of rules, it also stands to make at least $400,000 a year in tax revenue. That figure is a conservative estimate because it is only based on the rentals city officials found advertised online, according to their report.
New rules needed?
Perry said he is glad the city is finally committing to allow short-term vacation rentals and thinks it is the right step toward a solution for everyone.
But there are city officials and residents, some even in favor of the rentals, at odds with the ordinance, arguing the city already has the rules it needs.
Instead of creating a new ordinance to control rentals, the city can accomplish the same goal by enforcing its existing regulations, Councilman Carlos Olvera said.
Chapter 6.14 of the municipal code covers public nuisances, which includes noise, trash and other issues raised by those who oppose vacation rentals.
Tom Barnes, who has been renting out his condo in Niguel Beach Terrace for seven years, said the ordinance is a waste of time.
"I think this whole thing is basically city bureaucracy in search of a problem," said Barnes, who believes everybody should just be expected to follow the existing rules.
The $400,000 that the city would make from a transient tax is a clear motivator to some like Hoose.
"It's pretty simple; it's a lot of money," he said. "It seems to me from Day One the city staff had a one-track mind on it: They saw the revenue stream that could be developed."
The city plans to use the revenue to help pay for a new position to operate the permit process, officials say. Salary estimates for this position are $76,886 for the first year and $54,480 each subsequent year.
The money remaining would go into the city's general tax fund, which the council uses for general upkeep, Chotkevys said.
But with $30 million of revenue projected for the 2013 general fund, Dana Point doesn't need the money, so there's no reason to create a permit process and impose the tax on rental properties, Olvera said.
Adding that tax could mean lower revenues for owners and fewer renters, which could force some people to sell their property, Barnes said.
The permit will be impossible to enforce, which will leave residents in the same position – forced to deal with the nuisance of renters, Hoose said. And Olvera said the tax could encourage rental owners to stay off the radar to avoid filing for a permit.
Enforcement doesn't need to become a complicated issue, because it will happen with the help of residents, Chotkevys said.
"We don't have a heavy-handed police atmosphere here," Chotkevys said. "If we get complaints then we'll take action, but we're not going to be driving around looking for people to prosecute."
If the city discovers people renting without a permit, officials will inform them of their requirements. Chotkevys said he's confident people will comply.
Olvera said this turn-a-blind-eye mentality reinforces his view: The ordinance is unnecessary.
"That's kind of what we're doing now," Olvera said. "So why do we create a new ordinance where we might want to look the other way if there's no problem?"

In recent years, there have been many changes in the way new moms and dads handle getting their newborns on a regular eat/sleep schedule. Pediatricians used to push hard for parents to get baby on a schedule as soon as they brought them home from the hospital. This thinking has evolved over the last several years into waiting to see what the baby's schedule is, and then making smaller adjustments that best suit the family. It's much better not to upset the pattern of natural rhythms the baby began before birth, and then ease them into the schedule your family keeps.
The first thing to do when baby comes home from the hospital is simply to become aware of your baby's patterns for eating and sleeping. This schedule will be the basis for your baby's personal schedule. The four important things to note when observing this schedule are when he eats, how long he sleeps, when he is alert and the one many new parents forget to make a note of, when a bowel movement occurs with relationship to the other three. Another very important thing to remember for the first couple weeks is to be sure you build trust by tending to your newborn when they awake from sleep. The security of your baby knowing his needs will be met, is the first thing to establish before any routine is changed.
Make only small adjustments in the beginning. If you wish to go to sleep at 9:30PM but you know the baby will awaken at 11:00PM, go ahead and wake the baby early. This is the first step in establishing a schedule that can work for both of you at nighttime.
During the day, try to feed your baby every four hours. If your baby generally naps longer and is far too asleep to eat, then your baby may not be ready for four-hour intervals. Wait a week or so and try again. By the same token, feed baby more often if your baby requires it. Many babies need more time to adjust to life outside the womb before adjusting to the family schedule.
If your baby falls fast asleep in the middle of a feeding, then wakes up after a short nap, you must find a way to prolong the feeding until the baby has had enough to eat. Changing your baby's diaper mid-feeding will surely get his attention. If you're breast feeding you may decide to feed for a shorter period of time on each breast, at the beginning, to insure your baby has had enough milk before falling asleep. Putting your baby to bed only when he is comfortably full, dry and burped. Burping is important to insure a restful sleep.
Finally, make your schedule predictable for the new baby. The baby will quickly get used having a bath or a walk at the same time each day. Establishing a routine for your baby coupled with sleeping and eating schedules will make for a much happier adjustment for the entire family.

Virgin Blue will touch down at Ballina/Byron Bay Gateway Airport for the first time at 12.45pm today, with an aircraft full of eager visitors and locals, the first to sample the low fares, modern red jets and outstanding customer service that the airline will introduce every day from now on.
Today's flight heralds the launch of Virgin Blue's daily services into the far north coast region and a new era in aviation travel for Guests flying between Sydney and Ballina/Byron Bay, with the re-introduction of a jet aircraft on the route for the first time since the withdrawal of Ansett services.
Virgin Blue spokesperson Amanda Bolger said, "We are excited to be bringing our sleek aircraft into this region and are confident travellers will appreciate the efficiency and comfort of our modern 737 jets. We also hope the low fares and the Virgin Blue style of service will appeal to those people who value friendly and reliable service that leaves them with money to spend when they get to their destination".
The inaugural flight Guests and local dignitaries will enjoy Virgin Blue's surprise in-flight launch activities as well as a special welcome when they land, with local producers putting on a "Tasting the region" celebration welcome event.
Among the producers are three local suppliers who are already on-board Virgin Blue. Madura Teas and Byron Bay Cookies have been included on Virgin Blue's in-flight menu for some time, while the carrier is also poised to introduce muesli produced by Byron based Brookfarm. Other local producers to join in the welcome celebrations at the airport include Abruzii Organics, Bangalow Pork, Lyrebird Foods, MacKella Range Coffee, Madura Tea, Nirvana Coffee, Pirlos, Tridosha and Zentvelds Coffee.
Students from Ballina High School are also expected be on hand today to meet the inaugural flight's First Officer, David Beard, who grew up in Ballina and developed his passion for flying in the High School's two year elective Aviation Studies course.
Virgin Blue has been heartened by strong forward bookings for flights to and from Ballina/Byron Bay and is confident the route will be a popular one.
The majority of flyers are expected to be travelling for pleasure to enjoy the delights of both the inland and coastal towns or to visit family and friends, but far north coast business travellers are also set to reap the benefits. Virgin Blue's new flight will provide them with a speedy and cost effective method of travelling to the state capital and beyond to go about their business.
Amanda Bolger continued, "There has been strong lobbying from both the tourism and business communities for Virgin Blue to begin services and also from Richard Branson following his last, and clearly enjoyable, holiday in the region. From past experience in regional centres like Coffs Harbour, we have proven that non-metropolitan communities can sustain a jet service and we look forward to generating more and more traffic not just to and from Sydney, but also beyond, with easy connecting flights available from Adelaide, Cairns, Christchurch (NZ) and Melbourne."
The low fare carrier will operate a daily service with the flight departing Sydney at 11.35am, landing at Ballina/Byron Bay Gateway Airport at 12.45pm before turning around and departing Ballina at 1.15pm, touching down at Sydney at 2.30pm.

Pacific Blue Goes Green: Pacific Blue Launches New Zealand Carbon Offset Program12/06/2007
New Zealand airline Pacific Blue today officially launched its carbon offset program as part of an integrated strategy to address greenhouse gas emissions. All monies collected from the scheme will go towards Government approved New Zealand projects to reduce carbon emissions.
The airline is part of the Virgin Blue Airlines Group and is the first in New Zealand to offer its Guests the chance to offset the carbon emissions from flights.
Guests can voluntarily offset their flights from around NZD$3 per sector.
The Hon. David Benson-Pope, Minister for the Environment, joined Pacific Blue CEO John Bartlett, at a function in Wellington this morning to formally launch the program.
John Bartlett said "Our sister airline Virgin Blue led the way in Australia earlier this year when it became the first airline in the world to introduce a Government certified carbon offset program, and we're very pleased to officially launch our own program for New Zealand.
"The environmental impact of travel is something that everyone in the New Zealand tourism and transport sector is considering carefully. We believe our carbon offset program along with our initiatives to reduce emissions is a step towards creating a sustainable aviation environment" he said.
Virgin Blue Airlines Group CEO Brett Godfrey last week called on the aviation sector and all organisations which emit green house gases to work actively to 'reduce and report' their efforts.
"Our airlines and all other New Zealand and Australian airlines need to ensure they become more efficient, in the interests of continuous improvement in limiting and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions related to their activities," he said.
"We congratulate the New Zealand Government on its initiative and interest in stimulating change on this issue. We believe Governments must take the domestic lead on national goal setting to reduce environmental impact and ultimately in conjunction with the world community, agree levels that will allow safe and stable levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
"Additionally measurable and achievable smaller targets must be established to allow for intervention and correction of targets along the way.
"We accept the necessary concept of national or even regional carbon based trading schemes as the clearest mechanism available to induce market driven investment in new energy sources. It is working in Europe and it will work in our part of the world," Mr Godfrey said.
"Additionally we believe business and Governments can and should work together on a solution which offers tax credits and other fiscal incentives to unlock private enterprise in research and development.
"At Pacific Blue as at Virgin Blue, we have set ourselves a path of continual improvement taking steps to reduce our emissions as much as possible through a series of initiatives and introducing a carbon offset programme in response to demand from our Guests.
The Pacific Blue carbon offset program has two key elements.
Guests who travel on Pacific Blue or Polynesian Blue flights have the option of voluntarily offsetting their share of carbon emissions generated from the flight. They are offered the opportunity during the flight booking process to contribute towards projects that have been approved by the Ministry for the Environment's Projects to Reduce Emissions (PRE) programme.
Pacific Blue offsets all flights taken by its own crew and staff travelling on company business.
Mr Bartlett said that the Pacific Blue team had been investigating suitable New Zealand-based greenhouse abatement projects for the airline to support for some time and was pleased to support the Ministry for the Environment's initiative.
"We have set up robust and transparent internal systems to track and report on our carbon offset program, and our Guests can be confident that under the PRE programme we will be funding high-quality, certified abatement projects on their behalf."
Pacific Blue said it already operates a fleet of the latest 737 NG aircraft and has implemented strategies to further reduce its carbon footprint through more efficient flight planning and aircraft weight reduction as part of a total environmental strategy.
The airline has included links on its website to education and awareness information to help its Guests address the carbon emissions generated in other areas of their lives.
About Pacific Blue, Polynesian Blue, and Virgin Blue Airlines
International airlines Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue, along with Australian domestic airline Virgin Blue, operate a fleet of 53 modern Boeing 737 aircraft flying to 8 international and 22 Australian destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Book online or phone 0800 670 000.
About the Ministry for the Environment's Projects to Reduce Emissions Programme
The Projects to Reduce Emissions (PRE) programme supports initiatives that will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beyond the reductions that would have occurred without the project by awarding them emissions units, or "carbon credits". Emission units are internationally tradable and add to the financial value of a project that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Projects must take place in New Zealand and result in a reduction in the total greenhouse gas emissions that will be reported by New Zealand in the greenhouse gas inventory.
