Implement term limits so that (any) new legislation has a chance.
I received a 'canned' email from Senator Blumenthal detailing his disappointment that recent Gun Control legislation did not pass. In his email Senator Blumenthal vowed "to push legislation to make our streets and schools safer". I wrote back: "It won't really matter how much you 'push for legislation'. How Congressmen/women get compensated affects which laws pass and which don't. Would you support term limits? 3 terms is too many (proposed by Senator David Vitter (R-LA). I don't want to see anyone in office for 3 terms. 2 years max, then get a REAL job like the rest of us. If you only had two years in Congress, you would submit and or pass legislation more honestly since the longevity of your career would not depend on it."
May 11 2013: I lived and worked in Mexico City for four years. They have term limits, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more corrupt government.Apr 21 2013: Ok, fair enough. I'll try to explain... Let's say you are 'Senator EL' and your constituents are asking you to support XYZ Legislation. Meanwhile Big Company ABC says to you, "We will contribute significantly to your next campaign" if you DO NOT support XYZ Legislation. Maybe you personally see both sides, for and against, XYZ Legislation. If you wanted to run for office again, aligning yourself with the interests of Company ABC would really help your career. Therein lies the conflict. Campaign funding is like legalized bribery. Companies can 'buy' politicians through that legal channel. However, if you were only allowed to be in office for ONE term, i.e. there was no next campaign then you would not have the same incentive to support Company ABC. I realize that this does not completely stop a politician from being 'bought'. You could accept money even if there were no future campaign. That however would be pure (illegal) bribery. If there were Term Limits, the extent of unjust, self-serving political careers would be limited. It would be more like jury duty to some extent. Jurors have no incentive to be persuaded financial, so their view is not likely tainted. Of course there is a different 'qualification' process to assemble a jury vs. elected official. I'm just saying that limiting terms could help toward effecting legislation honestly. There is another potential upside to Term Limits and it has nothing to do with money or being bought: just the idea of getting re-elected persuades politicians to vote or act in a way that preserves job security. Think of all the money and benefits politicians award themselves...for as long as they can. Maybe I seem to hear about more politicians abusing the system than I hear of politicians who have done any terrific 'public service'.
Apr 22 2013: May I quote you?. . . "I realize that this does not completely stop a politician from being 'bought'. You could accept money even if there were no future campaign. That however would be pure (illegal) bribery." This is a fallacy. Selling political influence is wrong in and of itself. Which term a person is in make no difference in the fact that it is a great miscarriage of trust for an elected official to legislate in favor of ANYONE other than the citizens who elected them to office. All bribery is illegal. We do not strictly enforce existing laws against influence peddling. Imposing more new laws in the form of term limits will not reduce the incidents of graft and corruption in politics. Thank you for a vigorous, relevant debate! Where is our common ground?Apr 20 2013: For Liberals and Conservatives alike the definition of a good politician is one who consistently supports the ideological agenda. Why would it be a good idea to disallow continued service for a good politician? I completely agree with the idea of culling bad politicians and I think we should use recalls and impeachment more frequently to do just that. But term limits have a built in down side and should NOT be implemented. I do agree no person is capable of serving as POTUS for more than 8 years because the job is ultra-stressful and takes its toll quickly.
Apr 20 2013: I suppose 'good' is relative and depends on whose opinion is at hand. I don't have much faith in politicians or that there are 'good politicians' in general. The 'lowest common denominator' therefore might be applying a rule where no one, perceived as either good or bad, gets to stay in office for too long. More importantly, the point of term limits would be to deter politicians from letting their personal campaign get in the way of any legislation for a greater good. The way the system is now, its more or less 'built in' that politicians can allow their personal campaign (job tenure) to be persuaded by powerful groups, such as the NRA, or large corporations, other interest groups with deep pockets, etc.
Apr 21 2013: Term limits would merely change the name of the beneficiary of the deep pocket money. Good politicians exist in both camps. They should be allowed to continue serving. Whether we should outlaw questionable funding of candidates is a different question. Term limits would solve nothing and would diminish the power and influence of committee chairmen who enjoy hard-earned seniority as a result of long, faithful service. It is not realistic to insist there are no good politicians. Indeed, if the sweeping generalization that all politicians are bad is true we would be in a lot more trouble than we are now, if you can imagine that! Some see the NRA as the cause of our troubles. Others see the less-well organized opponents of the second amendment as the culprit. That's politics. We are a polarized nation of 47% Liberals, 47% Conservatives, and 6% Independents. Each side believes the world would be better off if they were allowed to implement their plans without opposition, but that is not how a Representative Republic works. Opposition and checks and balances are essential to freedom. Term limits would have a deleterious effect on both opposition and checks and balances. The only indication that a politician has stayed in office too long is their inability to uphold their sworn duty to the American people who elected them. Recall and Impeachment YES! Term limits NO!Apr 21 2013: RE: "Are you asking an honest question. . . ?" I am flattered that you think I am capable of understanding your assertion that term limits would solve the problem of buying and selling political influence. But I do not. I see no causal relationship between the two. Please explain your reasoning. By the way, I have no interest in "winning you over to my perspective."Apr 20 2013: Maybe our people have more seniority. Boston was on all our minds - I'm glad the danger is over. Basically I think this degenerates to game theory and negtotiation. See Raffa.Apr 19 2013: I agree 100% Jennifer. The way to get real results out of Congress is to end career politicians.Apr 19 2013: Why not just oppose Citizens United? Also, legislation is viewed differently in various areas. For guns it's a rural vs. urban thing. With Prohibition it was different interest groups though the concept is similiar. Remember that most gun deaths are suicides. Drunk guys with guns. Pedistrian deaths by car seem to involve drunks. Suicides? Probably often. A friend who killed one drunk driving in his sports car was unhappy about the guy tearing things up. Last time I saw him he had a truck. Be careful what you ask for as you may get it. Do we have to look for drunk suicides on the road as well as horses, deer, cattle, etc.? Is it worse that the bad guy has a gun or a pressure cooker or a box cutter?
Apr 19 2013: Gee whiz, George. The conversation is about term limits, not gun control.Apr 20 2013: I probably shouldn't have mentioned any particular legislation, e.g. gun control. Choose any legislation that has big money behind it....what if you opposed or supported a cause that didn't stand a chance due to huge money supporting the other side. I appreciate that people have differing views and some issues are particularly polarizing. My point was more about term limits so that any legislation has a fighting chance. As it stands now, the side of an issue with the most money behind it most likely wins. That's not equitable or democratic, in my opinion.
Apr 21 2013: Please explain how term limits would stop the buying and selling of political influence.
Apr 21 2013: Are you asking an honest question, i.e. you really don't know? Or are you just setting up an opposing argument? I think you understand my position, but you disagree and that's totally ok. Your argument so far hasn't won me over to your perspective.

It's funny...when I saw this thread, my heart kinda sank. Not because I judge him, or because it makes him a bad person...but he is the only guy that I really thought of as a hero when I was a kid. I still, as a grown man, reminisce about how I felt watching him play. I guess when you're a kid, you don't care or think about this kind of thing. But as an adult, I always admired that he seemed to have a real dream life...a happy family, kids, travel, etc. I guess it should be expected that everyone has their problems.
I don't hold it against him, but I guess in some small way I am disappointed. But it isn't like he has abandoned the child...they are set for life. I'm sure the child could reach out to him one day, but who knows if she will want to. Sounds like she has a family, a father that is adopting her, etc. and I can't blame Dan for trying to handle this discreetly. His life is based on his reputation now. And I'm sure it is easier on his family for it to be settled. None of us know much about it, and I doubt we ever will. It's their personal life.
I definitely felt a little disappointed today, but the guy is still my childhood hero.

June's Cafe. Sacramento. Home style Japanese American Comfort Food
Saw this article in the Sacramento Bee and it caught the fancy of a friend so off we went. It's located in the Southside Park neighborhood. I think there used to be a Japanese neighborhood here in the old days. June's still attracts a lot of Japanese ( especially older ) - many of the customers seem to know each other and June and her husband who waits on tables while June cooks every dish. The macaroni salad is quite good: not too laden with mayo, a nice texture - not mushy, lots of pepper and little bits of vegetable for crunch and visuals. A bowl of miso soup with tofu follows before your order arrives. We shared a few different dishes ...... the Weenie Royale, Pork Katsu and Chicken Curry. You get your money's worth here and the food is very comforting. My Katsu was very crisp and not greasy at all .... love all the carmelized onions that came with it. Don't forget to add some of the Tonkatsu Sauce - adds a nice spicy dimension. The Weenie Royale was a nod to Internment Camp memories ..... but made with real ( not powdered ) eggs and slices of hot dog along with carmelized onion slices - this was served over a large portion of rice. The Chicken Curry was a big, almost overflowing plate of rice topped with chicken katsu and lots of curry sauce - think it had lots of onions and some vegetables cooked into it. The curry had a good flavor with a hint of spice to it. I think our dishes were in the 8-9 dollar range - a good value for a lot of homecooked food.
June's Cafe. 921 - V Street Sacramento,CA 95818 916. 447-2264 Cash only
M - Thurs or Fri ? 9:30am - 2pm
June's is smack-dab in the old Japanese-American neighborhood in Sacramento; around the corner there is a sweets place where you can get several kinds of mochi, and near that was the Wakano Ura sukiyaki place, now closed. This is totally a mom-and-pop style home-cooking restaurant, and the old Japanese-American guys who are there after opening time speak mostly English with some Japanese expressions mixed in. Quite and interesting and colorful place. Big portions at low prices, and it is certainly not a chain. Thanks for the mention, Gordon, for this recommended place.
Gordon, thanks for the rec. I moved heaven and earth yesterday to get there in time for lunch from the Bay Area, and slid in at 1:37pm to a counter seat. I told the husband (who takes orders and clears then washes dishes) that it was my first time. He reminded me that it was cash only and motioned to the menu posted on the wall. They've operated this spot for 22 years and said there was a similar restaurant here before them.
I asked whether the pork in the curry rice, $9, was katsu style or stewed. When he said it was the pork katsu with curry sauce, that's what I had to order. I watched the wife, June, take out what looked like a well-trimmed piece of loin from the fridge to slice off a slab to order. Then she breaded it and fried it on the flat top, flipping it several times.
Meanwhile, I took in the ambiance of the whole spot, including this tub of very fresh bean curd from Sacramento Tofu Company, resting on the counter momentarily.
I was happy to have a chance to try the tofu, a few cubes included in the miso soup that comes with a lunch order. Very smooth and velvety in texture and fresh flavor, not bland at all. Here's the miso soup and mac salad,
Serving size of these two dishes would be lunch aplenty for a light eater. As Gordon describes, this has just a light film of mayo. Elbow macaroni is chewy, not mushy, and flecked with crunchy bits of bell pepper, onion and carrot. I liked it very much.
I watched June assemble the pork curry plate. First, a bed of steamed rice, then she spread a layer of the curry gravy. On top of this, she arranged the sliced pork katsu, and the final touch was more of the curry gravy with stewed potatoes and carrots. The dinner plate's heapingly filled to the brim.
Here's a closer look at the cross-cut pork katsu,
The curry is mild and comforting. I noted that the people on both sides of me at the counter bisected their lunch plates, eating one half, then having the remaining half packed up to go. I did the same, as I was not about to leave any of this goodness behind.
Open Monday-Thursday for breakfast and lunch.
How did I miss this? I love June's. This is the kind of home-style Japanese food that my grandmother used to make, but better (sorry, Bachan!). My current favorite menu item (I change favorites fairly often) is the butter beef, which comes with a small bowl of mustard that June whips up from powdered mustard to order. Pour a little (or a lot) of shoyu into it, and dip each bite of beef into it.
Dennis (the husband) told me a while ago that they'd gotten a call from some producers for "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives", wanting to feature them, but June and Dennis turned them down, because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to handle the surge in popularity.
(Melanie, thanks for bumping this and bring it to my attention!)
re: ricepad
The surprising thing about June's is that this kind of mom/pop place doing Japanese-American food is still in business. While the neighborhood has lost a lot of J-A residents in the past 40 years or so, having June's and Osakaya still going works to maintain the old identity. Check it out while you can.
re: ricepad
not totally surprised to hear that they declined the opportunity to be on Triple D .....although, June's is Off the Hook !
re: gordon wing
Getting covered by DDD would really just slam them badly. I think they could survive a visit by a white guy with bleached spiky hair, though.
re: ricepad
Is there a separate breakfast menu?
re: Melanie Wong
Hi Melanie,
On the Yelp page for June's - photo 46 is of the menu. There are two items listed under Breakfast specials: Chicken and Cheese and Eggs ..... and Hamburger, Cheese and Eggs ...... otherwise it's the Lunch menu. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/junes-...
re: gordon wing
Thanks, Gordon. I'm falling for the wienie royale you tried, I think, or maybe the loco moco if I can get there early enough.
re: Melanie Wong
The Wienie Royale is a nod to internment camp food ..... I like the sentiment but I think I'd recommend the Loco Moco. You had the tonkatsu and curry last time I think? I had the tonkatsu with onions ........ the curry sounds good.
re: gordon wing
The katsu curry was delicious. But now that I think about it, I might have left my carefully packaged leftovers in my host's refrigerator last trip!
Ricepad's description of the butter beef sounds very good too.
re: Melanie Wong
I went back yesterday with a friend who wanted to give June's a try ....... we ordered the loco moco and the bacon Royal. The loco moco has a heaping base of rice and a nicely browned hamburger patty ( with onions ), gravy and then two fried eggs and then more gravy. very generous portion ..... meat was tasty - gravy was a bit too thickened with cornstarch and not quite as tasty as some of the other sauces. eggs were perfect. the Bacon Royal was also a large portion of rice with a delicious mix of bacon, carmelized onions, and eggs - prefer this to the hot dog Royal I had on a prior visit. the macaroni salad and soup were a nice starter ..... good tofu as Melanie mentioned. June's Cafe is part of the last vestiges of Sacramento's JapanTown. Afterward we walked a block away to get some shaved ice(with Gunther's ice cream) at Osaka Ya on 2215 - 10th St. Also bought some mochi there......
re: gordon wing
You've reminded me that I had the loco moco in February. I'll have to dig out my photos for comparison.

little bit disappointed
By Roberta
from Sacramento, Ca
i've orders 3 lasting touch hairpieces and the first 2 have 4 clips on them, but this one does not have any, so it's scary to use when you go out, cause you never know if it's windy...or even just riding in the car..only 4 combs which are not so dependable for securing it...
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
(6 of 6 customers found this review helpful)
was disappointed in ordering this becaus
By bert
was a bit disappointed in ordering this wiglet due to it's attachment, better to have clips during windy weather, you're not scared that it will fly away...the flexible combs do not really hold the hairpiece it just lets it stay in place...one movement will displace the wiglet...so please make these wiglets with 2 or more clips to secure them in place. thank you.

Big Mistake!
By Lovely Locks
from Michigan
I've been wearing your wigs since cancer thinned my hair in 2006. I love them all -- they look like real hair, and most people don't know they are wigs. But with this order, I didn't realize it was a partial wig until I had removed the tag...too late to return it. So I had no recourse but to toss it. My loss!

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. — Airmen who are sick of living day to day with their glasses and contacts have an opportunity to leave them all behind.
The Warfighter Refractive Surgery Center at Travis AFB's David Grant U.S. Air Force Medical Center has no waiting list and is looking for Airmen who wish to eliminate their dependency on glasses or contacts. Airmen in the Western region are encouraged to travel here to receive surgery. According to Air Force Instruction 48-123, Medical Examinations and Standards, active-duty members can be authorized unit-funded or permissive TDY for treatment.
To receive the surgical benefit under the U.S. Air Force Refractive Surgery program, members must be treated at a Warfighter Refractive Surgery Center located at selected Department of Defense facilities worldwide. If an active-duty member wishes to receive the treatment outside of a DOD facility, the member will incur all out-of-pocket costs and will not be authorized convalescent leave as the surgery itself is considered an elective procedure. By receiving surgery at a location such as DGMC, a member avoids surgery costs of more than $3,000, ensures a permissive or unit funded temporary duty status to receive the treatment and guarantees the benefit of convalescent leave following the procedure.
"Any member on active duty over the age of 21 may have a consult to see if they qualify and are a good candidate for the surgery," stated Lt. Col. (Dr.) David Simon, Laser Refractive Center cornea and refractive surgery chief. "Airmen must have six months retainability or one year for members of the Navy and Marine Corps and 18 months for Soldiers."
According to Simon, although laser eye surgery has been around since the 1980s, the military didn't support the idea until about 15 years ago. Aviators and troops on the ground who required glasses were having difficulties in deployed environments as night-vision goggles were difficult to use when glasses and gas-mask inserts fogged. Such limitations hampered the warfighter's capabilities, which is why the military support laser-eye surgery.
The Warfighter Refractive Surgery Center at DGMC offers two types of refractive surgery: Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis and photorefractive keratectomy. Both surgeries change the way images are focused on the retina to improve vision quality.
Individuals must have a commander's authorization because they are non-deployable for at least 31 days for those who choose LASIK and as long as four months for PRK patients.
"There are subtle differences between LASIK and PRK," Simon explained. "We refer to LASIK as 'flap and zap' and PRK as 'zap' so images focus better on the back of the eye."
The recovery time of the two procedures varies as well. The recovery time for LASIK is about one week with some discomfort, while PRK is a couple weeks with more discomfort.
One of the biggest differences is LASIK creates a potential weak point in the eye. It is not for individuals who are in hand-to-hand combat, which is why PRK is now the military standard, Simon said.
"Three months after surgery, patient results are the same," stated Simon. "The average vision outcome for individuals is that 95 percent of them have 20/20 vision or better six months after treatment."
"For me, the whole process was quick and painless," said Senior Airman Jeremy Daniels, 60th Maintenance Squadron inspection, after his recent laser-eye surgery. "I noticed a difference in my vision right away."
Travis' DGMC has highly experienced and qualified surgeons on staff as well as state-of-the art equipment not yet available at other bases. The laser refractive center surgeons have a combined experience of more than 10,000 cases.
"Our center has a flap-creating laser, the intralaser iFS Femtosecond laser, which helps improve accuracy in creating the flap during LASIK surgery," said Simon, who boasts 16 years of surgical experience. "We also have a reshaping laser, the VISX S4IR Excimen Laser, which allows CustomVue treatments for patients and variable laser beam sizes for conserving tissue and optimizing treatment times."
"I love that I got the surgery," Daniels said. "I would do it again in a heartbeat no questions asked. It was definitely one of the best things I have done."
For more information, call the Warfighter Refractive Surgery Center clinic at (707) 423-3146 or visit http://airforcemedicine.afms.mil/travis_lrc.

It may not draw as many viewers as it used to, but make no mistake: "American Idol" still has the power to turn an unknown into a global superstar.
If you need a reminder, Music City is the first place to look.
The two biggest successes in Fox's televised singing competition — which returned for a 13th season last week — call the Nashville area home. Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood were champions in the show's first and fourth seasons, respectively, and they have sold millions of albums and packed arenas ever since.
But those are just two "Idol" stories. Nashville has dozens.
Over the past 12 years, contestants have finished their runs on the show (and the subsequent arena tour) and settled in Nashville, where they try to build careers on the most intense and memorable months of their lives. Most of them will never reach the same heights of fame and ubiquity again.
"They kind of just shove you in there," says part-time Nashvillian Paul McDonald, who finished in eighth place on "Idol" in 2011. "And then when it all ends, you go, 'Whoa, that was awesome. Now, how do I do that again?' "

I was on a job a week ago tig welding on a pontoon boat. I was on my last two beads when suddenly I got no welding power when I stepped on the remote pedal. To make this brief, I checked the breakers, they were OK and checked all the connections,they were fine too. I tried in local mode on both the HF unit and the Trail Blazer's panel bypassing the contactor and nothing. I get gas and the HF spark that jumps to ground, that's it.
I went to stick mode (by passing the HF unit altogether) and finished the job with some aluminum rod I carry for situations where only a rod will work. I'm stumped.
With the help of some members of another welders forum I ran through some basic tests to try and narrow down the problem.
1) I tested for 24 volt ac in pins A & G 14 pin connecter on the Trailblazer. It was good.
2) I tested for welding output by connecting pins A & B on the 14 pin connector on the Trailblazer while in remote mode. It was good also.
3) On my remote HF unit (HF251-d) I tested for continuity between pins A & B when pressing on the pedal. It was good.
4) I tested each of the five wires from the remote to the 14 pin connector for continuity and they were all good.
5) I found that if I connected the remote directly to the front panel of the TB, I had full amperage control when using the foot pedal. If I connect the remote to the HF unit, I get no welding power.
6) I had a spare HF unit that was working fine until I put it in storage. It is the same model except it has the remote contactor installed as it was used on an older AED200LE with no internal contactor. It also failed to work.
The machine is producing welding current and sending it out to the welding lugs.
The remote foot pedal and works fine if connected directly to the TB. Two different remote HF units failed. The TB is behaving as if there is an internal "sensor" of some type that detects when a remote HF unit is installed that has gone bad as I cannot explain why two identical units failed with the identical symptoms.
I tried both HF units in all combinations to seek if I could get welding current out of them. In local mode, remote mode no welding current passes through them. I don't know what else to do.
Anyone have an idea?

Trailblazer 251NT stopped welding through the remote suddenly...Anybody have a clue?
Sooo, its just your HF unit thats damaged, a serial # might be handy. As for both going down, the spare probably isn't configured on the inside.

Hi cruizer,
Thanks for the reply. The serial no. is KK224497. This is the one without the contactor that cut out on me on the job.
The other one is: LA261674. This one has the contactor.
The pedal initiates the the HF spark and gas flow on both normally.
The 251 has a built in contactor, so the HF unit with the contactor is looking for weld power from the 251. The one without has a 14pin which ciontrols the contactor in the 251. This is where your kinda getting screwed up

trailblazer 251NT cut out suddently
Hi again,
I tried the one with the contactor as a last resort to try and get back up and running. I have been using the one without the the built in contactor for the past two years without a hitch until it suddenly went out on me last Saturday.
The 251 with the contactor has a 14 pin connector exiting out the back just like the other version without the contactor which goes to the front panel of the TB. I would imagine that it would pass the signal to open the internal contactor upon pressing the remote pedal, NO?
Anyway, the real issue is why my remote suddenly cut out on me. Do you think its in the TB or is the remote HF? As I mentioned earlier, it is behaving as if there were a sensing circuit in the TB to signal when there is a remote connected and let it control amperage via the remote pedal (or sliding switch) and it is not doing its job.
Otherwise I can't explain why connecting the remote pedal directly to the TB works just fine. If I only did ferrous or stainless metals I could scratch start without the need for the HF. Most of my service calls are aluminum projects that require a tig torch (broken tranny cases, engine blocks, rims, pontoon boats and boat hulls, etc.).
I would think if the problem was with the HF box, then when I swapped out the 251 with the one that had the built in contactor it would simply pass through the signal for closing the internal contactor and control amperage just as the first one did. This one had been in service for years without a hitch and was working up to the second when I put it away in storage when I upgraded my welder to the TB from the old AED200LE. Is my logic flawed here?
Any help is more than appreciated.

trailblazer 251nt stopped welding through the remote suddenly...
I just got off the phone with Miller and the tech (Dan) said that it should be working so what came to mind was that the tig torch could have a break in the power lead. He suggested hooking up a stinger to the remote and testing it to confirm or rule out.
I am away from my equipment until Tuesday and it is the first thing I'll do when I get back.
The remote passes straight through both units so thats not the issue, only the relay from the pedal stops in the unit to turn the Hf on, then it reroutes to turn the machine's contactor on. Yeah, could very well be a blown tig torch.

Trailblazer 251NT stopped welding through the remote suddenly...Anybody have a clue?
For some reason, I just received your reply (notification) on this posting. Sorry I didn't report back. It did turn out to be the power lead. Once I replaced it, the problem vanished.
Thanks for the replies. I purchased a fuse link to put inside the power block. It will save the power cable from burning up for lack of cooling. This particular power cable had been repaired by me. It had burned a hole in the tubing when the coolant ran low after bursting the return line.
I have since replaced that line with a braided version as several had blown on me. I have been using a home made cooler and didn't realize that the clear tubing I was using was only rated at 70 degrees F and 50 psi.
Thanks again,

Catalina King Bed
by Copeland Furniture
Combining the warmth of solid wood with the beautiful forms of the modern furniture era, the Catalina king bed is suggestive of the works of America's Mid-Century Modern designers. Designs of that period reflected a sense of hope and the promise of an ideal future. Now, comfort and nostalgia can be found in the Catalina bed's retro-modern shapes and sensibilities. The Catalina king bed with included slats is low and sleek, designed for a mattress only, and is available in two heights.
A beautiful piece of furniture, the Catalina King Bed is also available as a queen size bed.
Catalina King Bed features:
- King size: 82.5" w x 88.75" l x 37" or 40" h
- California King size: 78.5" w x 92.375" l x 37" or 40" h
- Slats included
- Crafted in your choice of solid maple or walnut wood
- Choose between 37" or 40" heights (the difference is in the leg height)
- Made to Order - it's your furniture from start to finish
- Recommended mattress thickness is 8" to 12" (but honestly, a little thicker won't be a problem)
- Box spring not needed, providing for a cleaner, more stylish look
- Made in the United States
*Natural variations in solid wood and hand-applied finishes make each piece unique. Slight grain and finish irregularities tell you that the furniture has been crafted from solid wood, and are considered hallmarks of quality.

Damon Hill admits Mercedes are facing a "tall order" this year, but he expects them to challenge come 2014...
Damon Hill admits Mercedes are facing a "tall order" this year, but he expects them to challenge come 2014.
Having finished a distant fifth in the 2012 Constructors' Championship, Mercedes have made a raft of changes as Lewis Hamilton replaced in Michael Schumacher while Nikki Lauda and Totto Wolff joined the management team.
There could be more changes ahead as former McLaren technical director Paddy Lowe is expected to join the team after the current campaign with the media speculating that team principal Ross Brawn could be on his way out.
Despite the uncertainty at Brackley, Hill believes Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes will eventually rise to the top, even if it takes them a season to do so.
"Lewis knows and understands (the current situation). There is no doubting his ability. That is not the question," said Hill.
"The question is the team and the equipment. The engine is good, they know that, so the focus is now on the team, how they operate and how they produce a competitive car.
"There are going to be regulation changes in 2014, so they (the Mercedes board) will want to see some evidence things are going the right way this year.
"But I don't expect them to be challenging for the Championship - I don't think most people would expect them to be challenging for the Championship.
"They've still got to work their way through Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren, and maybe Lotus, so that is a tall order.
"But in 2014, I don't see why they can't grab an opportunity with the team they are putting together."
Mercedes are well stocked when it comes to technical staff as they also have Bob Bell, Geoff Willis and Aldo Costa on their books, and Hill believes they are trying to make a statement by recruiting someone like Lowe.
"When Nikki took on the chairmanship of the board, and they also brought in Lewis, it was clear they were determined to make changes," he said.
"So it's only natural you will see some changes in personnel to justify the expenditure that Mercedes are making, and to make a statement that those changes are necessary for results to also change.
"Who knows what Ross' role will be. I'm sure he is a valuable asset to Mercedes. It's just how you fiddle those people together to make sure it is a coherent team."

This holiday season many of us will find ourselves rushing from one errand to the next, often visiting a variety of stores to accomplish all of our tasks. Wouldn't "one-stop shopping" be easier? Wouldn't it be nice to get everything from shopping to wrapping to shipping taken care of in a single trip? Locations offering a multitude of services potentially increase foot traffic because of the convenience they offer. They also create opportunities for the company to sell more products and services to its customers. In other countries, such as Sweden and Australia, the trend has been toward placing postal counters in grocery stores and pharmacies, often located in shopping malls. Customers can buy stamps or ship their packages while they are shopping for food and other staples. In the United States, grocery and other retail stores sell stamps at check-out counters, but do not offer shipping options. Office supply and other approved shipping stores offer a range of Postal Service mailing services including Priority and Express mail. Customers find that using these stores for their mailing needs saves time and effort because many of these retail outlets have longer hours than post offices and are conveniently located. E-commerce and mobile commerce have proven to be a popular choice for consumers who enjoy the convenience of shopping at home. Online retailers ship directly to the purchaser's home, or wrap and ship gift purchases directly to their recipients. If customers want to wrap the package or gift themselves, the Postal Service's Carrier Pick-up service will retrieve the package at their doorstep for shipping. While e-commerce and mobile commerce can offer purchasing, wrapping, and shipping from home, some people prefer physically browsing and purchasing items from brick-and-mortar retail outlets. This holiday season, a shopper might first visit a retail outlet to make your purchases, go home and wrap the gifts, and then go back out to ship the item. That's at least three trips and two lines, just to send one package! Does shopping, purchasing, wrapping, and sending your item in one stop sound better? With postal counters in strategic locations, all of your needs could be met in one stop. Would gift-wrapping services be an added bonus? If Post Office functions could be moved into retail spaces, what areas or types of stores best lend themselves to this effort? Share your ideas in the comment section below.

Twenty years ago, when professional sporting teams started selling naming rights to their stadiums and arenas, many purists called it a low point in the commercialization of sports. But today, the number of arenas and ballparks not named after a corporate sponsor is small. For revenue-seeking team owners, it is just too hard to pass up the money that comes with selling your stadiums' name. Strategy, business development and marketing all play huge factors in naming-rights deals, with top prices for these deals reaching about half a billion dollars, according to Sports Business Journal. As a business-centered organization looking to boost revenues, does the U.S. Postal Service have opportunities to sell naming rights? The idea of selling the naming rights to an entire Post Office might not be palatable to Congress, as lawmakers like to name post offices after fallen soldiers or local heroes. But what about selling space in parts of the Post Office? For example: this retail counter brought to you by XYZ Co.? Sides of vehicles or automated postal centers in high-traffic areas of retail centers could also hold valuable advertising space. With its national reach, yet local presence, the Postal Service is visible in every community nearly every day. Companies and nonprofit organizations would likely find the opportunities to reach such a large audience appealing. Another option might be to appropriate advertising space to other government agencies. For example, a state health department or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention could use space on postal vehicles or in retail lobbies to announce a public health campaign. The Department of Energy or local governments could use retail space to tout energy conservation practices to citizens. This approach would also tie in with a larger vision of using post offices to connect citizens with other government services. Would such offerings tarnish the Postal Service's image and degrade what is still considered a public institution held in the public trust? Or should the Postal Service think creatively about new ways to use its large physical network? Would naming rights be an easy way to generate revenue in tough economic times? Or should the Postal Service focus on its core business?

The historic election of 2012 is over. Whether your candidate won or lost, you can feel confident that the American electoral process, a model for the free world, worked as the Founding Fathers intended – even if they never could have imagined spending billions of dollars on an election. However, many citizens complained about the long lines at polling places and the unreasonable wait times. The wait times seemed to range from 30 minutes to several hours. In some cases, voters abandoned the polls altogether after a lengthy wait. States have decades of experience administering elections, so it is particularly vexing that voting is so time consuming. Why should it take longer to vote than it does to conduct other routine government business? In many states, motor vehicles can be renewed securely in several ways, at the citizen's convenience. The citizen can renew in person at an office of the motor vehicle administration, mail a renewal form, or submit a renewal application online. What can be done to make voting quick, easy, convenient and yet still secure? Since 1998, citizens of the State of Oregon have securely cast their ballots exclusively by mail. Although postal voting has increased the amount of time necessary to tally votes, Oregon has reduced the cost of conducting elections and seen consistently higher turnout than the U.S. average. Ballots can either be mailed (earning the U.S. Postal Service some additional revenue) or dropped off free-of-charge at a ballot collection center. All 50 states already have a postal voting infrastructure in place through the offering of absentee paper ballots. In 2011 Washington State followed Oregon's example of total postal voting and 27 other states allow anyone to vote by mail (without excuse). However there are still 22 states where postal voting is not an option without a valid and documented reason. In some localities, citizens can visit their local courthouse or other locations for early voting or to submit their absentee ballot in person, weeks before Election Day. Many citizens take advantage of these opportunities, even if the voting locale is less convenient than their polling place. The Post Office, as the heart of many local communities and a trusted government entity, might make an ideal place for early voting or in-person absentee voting. Do you agree? Do you think voting by mail would work in your community? Would you use the Post Office to cast your ballot if that were an option? Tell us what you think.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
Solar System Log by Andrew Wilson, published 1987 by Jane's Publishing Co. Ltd.
The Cassini-Huygens project was the result of plans at NASA dating from the early 1980s. The cooperative project involved a NASA-supplied spacecraft, Cassini, and a European Space Agency lander, Huygens. The lander was to study Titan, Saturn's largest moon, during a parachute descent.
During its four-year primary mission, Cassini used a large complement of instruments (including radar and optical imagers) to explore both Saturn and its many moons. The 3,132-kilogram orbiter, with a design life of eleven years, is powered by three RTGs.
Cassini's trip to Saturn included four gravity-assists. Seven months after launch, the spacecraft passed Venus on 26 April 1988 at a range of 284 kilometers, gaining 26,280 kilometers per hour. Cassini performed a second flyby of Venus on 24 June 1999 at a range of 600 kilometers and one of Earth at 03:28 UT on 18 August 1999 at a range of 1,171 kilometers; it then headed to Jupiter.
Cassini passed by the asteroid 2685 Masursky on 23 January 2000, coming close to a distance of 1.5 million kilometers at 09:58 UT. During the encounter, Cassini used its remote-sensing instruments to investigate the asteroid's size and dimensions, and albedo.
During the Jupiter encounter, on 30 December 2000, Cassini performed simultaneous observations of the planet with the Galileo orbiter.
Once past Jupiter, Cassini's was set for Saturn orbit insertion on 1 July 2004. Cassini was the first spacecraft to orbit Saturn. Pioneer 11 and Voyagers 1 and 2 were flyby missions.
On 24 December 2004, Cassini released the Huygens probe and continued its numerous flybys. The Huygens probe entered Titan's atmosphere on 14 January 2005. During its 2.5-hour descent, the spacecraft deployed a main parachute for stabilization and relayed data and images back to the orbiter for transmission back to Earth. It landed on rocky, muddy terrain and successfully sent back the first images from the surface of a moon beyond Earth's.
The orbiter continued its mission making numerous Titan flybys and capturing close looks at other moons, including Iapetus, Enceladus, Dione, Rhea and more distant encounters with Tethys, Mimas and Hyperion. Enceladus delivered one of the mission's greatest surprises -- geysers erupting from a moon previously thought to be frozen and inert. Scientists found the geysers create one of Saturn's rings.
The orbiter's primary mission ended on 30 June 2008. It is now on the Cassini Equinox Mission, seeking answer to new questions raised in Cassini's first years at Saturn. The mission's extension, through September 2010, is named for the Saturnian equinox, which occurred in August 2009 when the Sun shone directly on the equator and began to illuminate the northern hemisphere and the rings' northern face. Cassini observed seasonal changes brought by the Sun's changing angle on Saturn, the rings and moons, which were illuminated from the south during the mission's first four years.

It's on the way
The past few months have been very inspiring!
In late May I started a personal art blog for the first time. I publish daily and have developed a foundation and consistent traffic.
Since the summer I've seen astonishing and widespread crowdfunding success on many vibrant projects.
Momentum continues to build for Internet based content.
All of this is fueling a creative fervor in me and I'm in the midst of a push on a masterwork I've been nurturing for a long time. Looking to start sharing with the world next month in January 2013!
Re: It's on the way
This is a magnum opus. I'm very proud of it.
You're gonna love the show. There's nothing like it and it'll take up all of 2013. That's how much content is coming.
Anxious to share!
Target date for launch next month in January 2013. I'll be hyping it more as the time draws near.
Re: It's on the way
I mentioned this upcoming project on my blog and posted the following in response to a comment from a follower who's looking forward to seeing it...
I've been working on it intensely as of late. Excited to be at the point where I can finally share it with everyone.
It's starting out as an online comic. I have enough content completed where I can publish a page a day for several months and more progress is made all the time. This is going to be very different. I don't think there's anything that can quite compare to it. Especially considering its history.
One of the things I'm most enthusiastic about is that there's nobody in my way. With virtually every project I've ever done no matter where it was or who I was working with I always had to modify things or dumb it down or compromise. In every instance it affected the quality of what I was doing and what I was trying to achieve and not necessarily for the better. Very few situations if any gave me the freedom and latitude to really do my best. Everything was controlled to one degree or another and almost always turned into something lesser than what it could have been.
This project is pure. From the quality of the art to its production standards to the characters and story there's nothing between me and what I'm doing and the fans and audience. The path between the project and the public is completely clear and open. I'm confident you'll see how this affects the entertainment experience.
None of this would be possible without the Internet and the current environment for creating. I'm so glad there's a pure method of communication and distribution of content I can't begin to tell you. I talk about it all the time in class when I'm teaching and to anyone who's willing to listen. The age we're in for content creation has no precedent and I'm focusing the rest of my career to taking full advantage of it.
Anyway, it'll all come out once this gets going and you'll see what I'm getting at.
A New Day is on the way!
Re: It's on the way
Just a few minutes ago I reached a milestone goal with my creative productivity. To say it's been a lot of work is a gross understatement but I'm at the point with my content where I feel comfortable about publishing.
I have 10 chapters of an online comic ready to go. I can feed a page a day for several months while I continue to prepare new material to follow up for a longer period of time.
It's simple but it's effective and best of all it's a story that's fun and hopefully folks will like what they see and get into it.
Looking good for a January 2013 launch!
Re: It's on the way
I'm working on a monumental achievement.
Re: It's on the way
Indeed you are!!
Fist high!
Re: It's on the way
This is gonna kick some serious ass...
Re: It's on the way
Hello there folks. Been working on the project very intensely day and night around the clock and I'm almost finished with the massive body of material I've been striving to complete. Just a few more days before I'm at the point where I can begin to move forward with promotion and featuring it online.
Man this is a real marathon! The finish line is just up ahead right within sight!
Re: It's on the way
All the very best Charles!
Re: It's on the way
Just finished this monumentally massive amount of artwork!
Was looking to complete everything by the end of January and got it done with an hour and five minutes to spare!
Man, now I can get back to my life and better yet...
Build a character based franchise online !!!

Today we talked to Ron Allan from Metro Skylite (an eco friendly company) on the telephone. He's very enthusiastic about the project: he's on board with us, currently trying to get us a better alternative to a Velux VSE S06, from Poland for the price of FREE. He's getting back to us tuesday! feel the excitement!
We are also calling Roxul Insulation, and waiting on a call back from ABC Fire Doors today.
Last night in class Hiba made calenders for every group to plug in their dates for events in our semester!
We should all colour code the groups and make a legend so everyone knows what everyone else is doing. no confusion!
Noel and Lorenzen Engineering are talking to the University: soon enough the cement foundations are going in, which will take 7 days to cure, and then we will be receiving the crate! expect this to finally begin within the next two weeks me thinks!!!!

8-1-13 Proctor, MN
Skeeter Estey drove to an early lead from the pole in the 20 lap Midwest Modified feature
ahead of point leader Danny Vang, Dan Kingsley while Jake Gondik battled with Mack Estey for
fourth and fifth. Skeeter Estey, Kingsley and Vang distanced themselves from the rest until Kyle
Inman's car erupted in a cloud of steam going down the front stretch. Inman was able to limp off
the track but stalled on the pit road bringing out the caution flag with five laps recorded. On the
restart Skeeter Estey moved out to a ten car length lead while Kingsley was busy holding off
Vang. Ninth starting Deven VanHouse moved in on Gondik for fourth and took the position. The
top seven cars pulled away from Chris Bretting who led a gaggle of cars in a battle for eighth.
Skeeter Estey was in complete control of the race and went on to win his first feature of the
season at the speedway. Kingsley, VanHouse, Vang and Gondik finished in the top five.

Sommmmebody had a video shoot today!!! @mybrandonboyd #sneakpeek http://t.co/iEpbQ7vhIp
Views: 147
Thank you so much minha amiga, you're awesome Nat ♥ The beauty in amongst chaos sounds beautiful and made me curious about Avalanche too! ;)
And I like the part right before when Brandon talks about INNW tickling in the audience's chest when they play this song live, hell yeah!! beijinhos Nat and Brandon ♥
"There's a track on the Sons of the Sea record called 'Avalanche' and it's on the LP which is out the end of September but it's mostly piano and a vocal. And then there's some like french horns that appear in there and then kinda of like the 'stomping' almost like, theater sounding rhythm comes in at the end of it. The song uses the idea of an avalanche and an emergency as an opportunity to see shapes and beauty and opportunity in amongst a calamitous situation or chaos. The lyric is actually quite simple but it's suggesting a large potential; a bigger picture kind of thing." ♥
Sounds beautiful, yes Viv? :)
I miss you too Nat♥ yeah, he said something about Avalanche, but I can't remember! (it was hard for me to understand everything, even more with Brandon speaking so low!)
Hmmm, do you know something I don't, my Viv??? ;) I shan't ask you to spill your secrets, but I'm SO excited to hear all of SOS! I hope he drops another song soon :D I was hoping for "Avalanche", his explanation of it on that radio show got me really interested and excited to hear it! Miss you ♥
You are not the only one nervous to see this video Viv!! lol I wonder what song it will be for? A new one, or one he's already released? What do you think my Viv? beijos xoxo
Wow, somebody had fun today! I do NOT want to see this video, okay Nat! kkkk

Because of the relative high price of gaffers tape as compared to other tapes, it is more important than ever to buy a gaffers tape that meets the requirements of your specific application, but doesn't exceed them at too great a cost. We currently stock gaffers tapes from the larger manufacturers (Shurtape/Permacel, Polyken/Berry Plastics, Scapa, 3M and JVCC), but there is currently a $500+ price difference for just one case of 2" tape when you compare the least expensive to the most expensive of the tapes.
And that is why we are offering our Gaffers Tape Challenge Pack which will allow you to test 10 different grades of gaffers tape from the manufacturers noted above, at an economical price (we are basically charging for the material, but not the cost of rewinding the rolls and putting them on new cores). We've labeled each roll with the product number for easy reference and also with the word 'SAMPLE' since these rolls are only available via this test sample pack and can not be purchased individually.
When your test pack is shipped your packing slip will also include a unique access code which will enable you to rank the 10 tapes you received in reference to how well they performed for your specific application. The purpose of the unique code is to ensure someone has tried all of the tapes recently before scoring them. Current survey rankings and comments left about the tapes can be viewed below.
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

Elite gymnasts have Olympic training centers to achieve perfection before the Olympics. Football players rely on heavy pre-season schedules to hone their skills before their season begins. MMA fighters spend eight to ten weeks with their camp in preparation for a title fight. Pro gamers, like the athletes listed above, also set out to improve their performance before an important event, and gamers of the upper echelon, like Dave "Walshy" Walsh, converge on events like Red Bull's three-day LAN for no-holds-barred, intensive, real-world training.
With no distractions and all emphasis placed on nothing more than improving game play for competition, Walshy and his peers are able to fine-tune strategies, sharpen basic skills and realize what works well under fire, while also figuring out what not to do before competition.
For five hours each day from October 1st - 3rd, Walshy and Team Carbon, along with teams Status Quo and Warriors, took part in the multi-day throw-down to progress their skills as a team as well as individuals. To make things even more interesting, the entire session was made public via Red Bull's live stream.
With viewer comments also a part of the mix, trash was talked, rumors were thrown, and massive props were given as all three teams stayed intently focused on the task at hand: prepping for the upcoming National Championships. Though this might be labeled as nothing more than an extended practice session, make no mistake - no punches were pulled and each and every gamer on hand was giving his all.
At times tempers flared, frustrations were expressed, and when a team was able to get on a roll, they had no problems voicing their domination. Snappy comments of approval, sometimes tainted with disdain, were echoed by team members as they made quick work of one and struggled with another.
As Walshy hit his stride, the comments were pouring in with appreciation for his patient and strategic game play that seemed to flow naturally with the other members of Team Carbon. Some might say it's a strange mix, especially with Carbon being known as an aggressive group during competition.
After three days of high-pressure sparring, Walshy and his fellow gaming giants stepped out of their comfort zone - and into a recording studio, of all places. The group managed to recite raps over a heavy, fast-paced beat produced by BUCKBUCKBUCKBUCKBUCKBUCK (yes, that's actually his name). Though they were able to squeeze the lines out somewhat successfully, we're happy to say that they're going to concentrate on gaming rather than crossing over to the hip-hop world.
Here are few of the viewer's comments about Dave "Walshy" Walsh during LAN training:
Jet Set Studio also is excited for another Walshy sighting at the Red Bull headquarters in Cali, as another LAN starts this week!
StrongSide ha this match was intense!
Christopher Messier Walshy's amazing, Red Bull A40 Ftw!!!
Robert Kuboyama Walshy is the most legendary Halo player known to man. Some could argue that he has raised the competitive gaming bar to new heights... setting apart the men from the boys some could say... his attitude, mental ability, and foresight is the key to his success... Walshy the king of kings is arguably the best player today and continues to annihilate everyone that crosses his path... he has been my favorite player for soo many years and I respect his passion for gaming and continued success... WALSHY is a name I will never forget

By connecting neuroscience research to a theory of modeling as an instructional best practice for reading comprehension, the authors have created a volume that actually does what many claim to do: connect research to classroom instruction in a manner that is sensible and usable by practitioners.
— Harvard Educational Review
Educators agree that teacher modeling is a key component of good instruction—but how do you model reading comprehension? What's the best way to present new information so your students can convert it to working knowledge and useable skills?
This book–DVD combination seamlessly blends current research about the brain and learning with classroom examples to show you how instructional modeling can lead to increased engagement and literacy learning. You'll learn what happens in the brain as a person reads and how to model your own thinking effectively. You also will meet a number of middle- and secondary-grade teachers who use modeling to help their students' understand complex ideas. Chapters explore ways you can model comprehension and word solving strategies, as well as how to use text structures and text features to learn and retain information.
The included DVD (view clip) gives you an opportunity to see teacher modeling in action in real classrooms, and the final chapter in the book serves as a professional development guide with discussion questions that correspond to segments of the DVD.
