The Fault is in Our Constitution
Sandy Levinson
As I've been pondering over this weekend about the (in)appropriateness (as distinguished simply from the impolitic aspects) of using the fuhrerhprinzip analogy to understand our own present political situation, it occurred to me that I'm in the embarrassing position of not understanding my own book well enough. That is, as everyone knows by now, I've recently published Our Undemocratic Constitution, which includes a vigorous critique of various aspects of Article II (as well as the Article I assignment of a presidential veto power, the subject of an article in this week's New Republic). But it seems to me that the Constitution, so bad in so many respects, also helps to explain why we end up with a distinctively American version of presidentialism that requires no recourse to the baleful influence of Leo Strauss and his connection with Weimar.
Every government has to have a head of state. As you observe, one is better than two as in some parliamentary systems.
You appear to be implying we should adopt a vote of confidence system like they have in Britain to short circuit a president's term. I would disagree.
While this may make some sense in other countries with longer terms between elections and no term limits, our constitutional system significantly limits the presidency with a relatively short 4 year term between elections and a maximum of two terms.
As for being treated like quasi royalty, the head of state represents the country and thus receives the respects we expect for our country. However, unless the President is detached from reality, he or she can expect far more brick brats than respect from fellow politicians, the press and the voters in our rough and tumble democracy.
In our system of government, Congress by far wields the most power. The only power the President has over Congress is the power of party loyalty and persuasion.
There are so many checks and balances in our system, the President simply does not have the power to become a dictator unless he can somehow convince a military dedicated to defend the Constitution to overthrow our constitutional government. Then you have to deal with the ultimate check of about 100 million armed citizens like myself who might take violent exception to a military coup.
Thus, I simply cannot take comparisons to Nazi Germany all that seriously.
Your Hitler analogy is somewhat weakened by the fact that Hitler started as just the Chancellor, while von Hindenberg was the Head of State. You can have
The Hitler analogy, however, can still be strong in another respect. As Arendt has mentioned, one common aspect of totalitarian regimes is the duplication of authority. For Nazi Germany you had the SS, which had its own army, civil adminstration, economic base, etc. In many places in government you had SS officials in positions of government who were subordinate to others in the civil chain of command while still being able to run the show.
Now? Look at the changes in DOJ hiring, where the political appointees have authority over career attorneys. Look at the mandated changes in K street lobbyists, where lobbyists are only listened to if Republicans are given jobs there. It's not much, yet, but the intermingling of public and party positions is a very dangerous road to tread.
I don't know about this.
Take Blair--it has seemed for a long time that the majority (or at least a plurality) of England wants to be represented by someone who is not Tony Blair, but who is preferably a member of the Labour party or perhaps a Lib Dem. But they had no way of making this happen. The "no confidence" vote is hard to actually accomplish when an MP's power and prestige depends so heavily on the prime minister.
The problem isn't so much ideological unity, as that the Republicans are united behind the President, and the Democrats aren't united in opposing him. The Democratic members of Congress could have filibustered this bill. They chose not to.
There are certainly aspects of the Constitution that are making this worse--the head of state/head of gov't thing; the failure to foresee the importance of parties; the consistent underrepresentation of large-population states. But there was nothing inevitable about it, and every system has vulnerabilities. We just seem to live in a time and in a place where the best lack all conviction* and the worst are full of passionate intensity.
*with certain notable exceptions, who I am very glad to know!
Just for the record, I thought that I was rather explicitly disaffirming the "Hitler analogy" and arguing instead that the US Constitution contains within it structural incentives that, combined with a party system, work to encourage the creation of an overly-powerful president.
Bart: However, unless the President is detached from reality...
And when he is? (I'm thinking "Mission Accomplished", just for starters.)

The Mission Accomplished banner was put up by the Carrier group because they had finished their deployment in Iraq.
When I returned from the Persian Gulf War, the battalion had a similar banner over our awards ceremony.
From the CNN interview with Bob Woodward:
"KING: We're back with Bob Woodward. The book "State of Denial." Tell us about Rumsfeld talking about Mission Accomplished banner on the ship.
WOODWARD: This is May 1st, 2003, the very famous speech the president gave on the aircraft carrier, the Kennedy. You know there was that sign, Mission Accomplished. And I asked Rumsfeld about it and said he was -- Rumsfeld was in Baghdad and they sent him an advanced copy of the speech. And he said, I almost died because mission accomplished was in the speech. And he said, I got it out of the speech but I didn't get the sign down. Now they've always put out the story that it was the Navy that put up the sign. And there's the secretary of defense saying it was in the speech."
Bob Woodward has a number of disputed "quotes" in his latest book.
I lost my faith in Woodward when he made up a death bed conversation with ex CIA chief Bill Casey. Casey was an old school spook who strictly enforced operation security inside the CIA. The leakers in the present CIA would have been dealt with very harshly under his regime. Casey never would have told Woodward of all people anything classified.
Bart: When I returned from the Persian Gulf War, the battalion had a similar banner over our awards ceremony.
Bart, thank you for your service, truly. "Dessert Storm" was blood for oil; but it was our duty to protect that oil, and our allies, and also the stability of the world economy, which is an oil economy. My criticism of that war was for the lie that it wasn't about oil. That criticism and that lie notwithstanding, I have nothing but gratitude and respect for the service people who do the job they are sworn to do.
It is our duty outside the service, however, to ensure that our service people never die, or kill, in vain or in service of evil. We fail that duty with our unprovoked invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq, objectives known to be beloved of PNAC long before the attacks of September 11, 2001. As a warrior you know that the nation was never at risk in the wake of those attacks. Comparisons to Pearl Harbor are ill founded as there was no nation or invading force poised to follow through. Spectacular, deadly, unprecedented in scope and execution to be sure, but a legitimate threat to the nation? Never close. It is understandable that many service people, like many in law enforcement, become primarily focused on who they are fighting rather than on what they fight for, but I can't help expecting more of someone as articulate as you.
The greatest threat to the nation continues to be this administration's policy of playing into the martyr's hands, acting out plans authored by Haliburton and Bechtel which happen to further both bin Laden and Cheney's desires for blood and money. Ironically, while "the base" was never and still isn't anything like a legitimate body with which a nation can war, acts of your partisans are creating an environment where enough otherwise peaceful or disinterested people may be frightened into joining such a force; as long as terms such as "islamofascist" are bandied about we approach a tacit identification of Islam as the enemy with all that entails.
That disastrous tragedy must be side-stepped; most easily this is done by repudiating the war metaphor as applied to the people responsible for nine-one-one. The "war" on "terror" is not a war in any legally legitimate sense, and the rampant erosion of civil liberties are not warranted thereby. There's nothing wrong with the Constitution, to voice disagreement with Professor Levinson's theme; we simply need to enforce it.
I would simply note that whereas Mayhew emphasizes the electoral imperative, he also downplays the importance of parties (see Divided We Govern). I think Mayhew is clearly wrong as to the latter, or at least that his study of the lack of partisan bias in congressional investigations of the President is time bound: a similar study would come to a different conclusion today.
In the second edition, Mayhew admits that the major difference between "divided" and "unified" governments is that the former are far less likely to lead to significant congressional oversight.
I confess that I just don't believe that divided government doesn't matter re legislative outcomes, though maybe that was more likely to be the case when he was doing his initial studies.
I don't think I understand this argument. The ceremonial head-of-state component of the presidency seems to me to have just about nothing to do with the passage of this legislation. Members of Congress aren't much affected by that stuff are they -- except insofar as they sense their constituents are enamored of the President? In this case, Bush is very unpopular, and he's a lame duck. The fact that we have a fixed term and a two-term limit for the presidency should undermine the power of a second-term president to push legislation through.
I think the disturbing thing here is the "banana republic" character of this legislation. Fundamentally, this legislation attempts to cynically exploit certain constitutional loopholes to undermine some of the most important principles on which our constitutional democratic republic is based. What is most maddening is that members of Congress voting for and against it seem incapable of grasping the principles at stake. They vote out of some combination of party loyalty and a desire to please the constituents, and the constituents are presumed to want their government to be tough on terror. And, after all, a lot of Democrats voted for this legislation. The members of Congress are just not sufficiently smart or serious to keep the government from behaving like the government of a banana republic.
In the Weimar system, the President (an elected office and Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces) appointed the Chancellor (an unelected office and Head of Government).
Hitler actually ran against Hindenburg for President in 1932, and lost to Hindenburg 53% to 37%. But it was Hindenburg who appointed Hitler Chancellor in January, 1933.
In August, 1934, President Hindenburg died. Pursuant to the Enabling Act (adopted in 1933), the cabinet had enacted a law the preceding day, combining the offices of President and Chancellor, uniting those offices in the person of Hitler, and abolishing the title of President. Thereafter, Hitler's official title would be Fuehrer and Reich Chancellor.
According to Shirer, the fuehrer-prinzip was first enunciated in Mein Kampf, a book I haven't read.
The main purpose of the Runescape players would be getting Runescape gold. Players often dream about getting as much Buy Gold for WOWas he can but it is hard. To achieve your goal you should get a good gold guide.

Homemade Ring Angle Claw
Homemade Ring Angle Claw hook. During the 1970's it was common to take an old ring angle piton and bend it into a larger hook than what was commercially available at that time. They were flimsy at best and would flex under body weight. This hook was made from iron angle stock and had more rigidity to it than ones made from ring angle pitons.

(a) Deferral by the EEOC. When it is determined that a section 504 agency is the agency that shall process a dual-filed complaint or charge under § 37.8(a)(2) or § 37.8(e), the EEOC shall defer further action until the section 504 agency takes one of the following actions:
(3) Following a finding that a violation has occurred, refers the complaint to the Civil Rights Division for judicial enforcement and the Civil Rights Division resolves the complaint;
(4) Following a finding that a violation has occurred, resolves the complaint through final administrative enforcement action; or
(b) Notification of the EEOC. The section 504 agency shall notify the EEOC upon resolution of any dual-filed complaint or charge.

In reaching that determination, the EEOC shall give due weight to the section 504 agency's findings and conclusions. If the EEOC proposes to take an action inconsistent with the section 504 agency's findings and conclusions as to whether a violation has occurred, the EEOC shall notify in writing the Assistant Attorney General, the Chairman of the EEOC, and the head of the section 504 agency that processed the complaint. In the written notification, the EEOC shall state the action that it proposes to take and the basis of its decision to take such action.

En español | Most of my AARP food columns address healthy weekday cooking, but I also love those celebratory moments that call for a little less restraint. This week I'm offering up three fun recipes for a delicious spring brunch.
When I'm serving a morning crowd, strata is usually part of the meal. This simple bread-and-custard breakfast casserole appeals to a wide swath of diners, especially if flavorings are kept to a minimum (with breakfast meat on the side). And you can make and bake it ahead of time.
Strata can be savory or sweet. I usually opt for savory because of all the sugar, butter and heavy dairy in the sweet versions, but I decided to see if I could make sweet strata a little less naughty.
I was able to cut back on some of the sugar and fat and still deliver strata worthy of a celebration. Many strata and other sweet breakfast casserole recipes call for anywhere from one to two sticks of butter — that's eight to 16 tablespoons! Mine requires just six tablespoons, and I feature it in the crumble topping.
I concentrated the sugar in the topping, too. Similar recipes include sugar in both custard and topping, as well as a dousing of syrup, but I've found that if the sugar sits on the surface it's more prominent and you need less. I also offer a lightly sweetened fresh-strawberry sauce instead of straight syrup. My custard is simple — eggs, vanilla and evaporated milk rather than the usual half-and-half or heavy cream.
Scotch eggs are perfect for this time of year. Rather than blanket them with pork sausage, try chicken sausage. Depending on your crowd, you might use a spicy chorizo or Andouille.
Add to that a seasonal grated-carrot salad in butter lettuce "nests." This is not the typical raisin-studded, mayonnaise-dressed salad. It's fresh and flavorful, with parsley and a bright kefir-based dressing. Kefir — with the taste and texture of buttermilk and high levels of good bacteria — has all the health benefits of yogurt and is worth seeking out. You should be able to find it in a well-stocked grocery store; if not, substitute buttermilk.
There's a time to eat healthy — and that's most of the time — but there's a time to indulge a little too. Enjoy.
Scotch Eggs With Chicken Sausage
Makes 8 eggs
Use your choice of sausage, but if using denser pork sausage, you'll need a little more than a pound. I used — and loved — chicken chorizo sausage.
- 1 pound bulk chicken or turkey sausage
- 8 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 3/4 cup crushed saltine crackers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.
Divide sausage into 8 equal portions. Working one at a time, press a portion of the sausage mixture into a patty. Set egg in patty and work sausage around it to completely enclose. Mix cracker crumbs and parsley; dredge each egg in cracker crumbs and place on a small, rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining sausage, eggs and cracker crumbs. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake, turning every 15 minutes, until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cool 5 minutes, and serve.

Operation: Military Kids (OMK) is the U.S. Army's collaborative effort with America's communities to support children and youth impacted by deployment. Regardless of whether families are experiencing deployment for the first time, the second time or another in a series of multiple deployments, OMK's goal is to connect military children and youth with local resources to achieve a sense of community support and enhance their well-being.
In 2009, over 150,000 youth participated in experiences conducted by State OMK Teams in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Over 900 community members representing over 43 national, state and local organizations worked together utilizing core OMK program elements like those in the left menu to help school age children and youth through the deployment of a loved one. Through OMK, Military Youth:
- Meet other youth who are also experiencing deployment;
- Participate in a range of recreational, social and educational programs;
- Gain leadership, organizational, and technical skills by participating in the Speak Out for Military Kids program or Mobile Technology Lab programs;
- Receive assistance with school issues by connecting with Army Reserve Child, Youth and School Services -- More on School Transition Support; and
- Attend single day, weekend or longer residential camps.

Pacific seems like it's in such a hurry. It's in a dead out sprint to reach a point somewhere that it's just completely out of whack. I don't know any of the characters. I know the one guy....And he's really not that interesting, even though they try to give him depth, and sadly fail.
I'd still buy the series if only to show people the technical aspects of setting up a water cooled .30 cal Machinegun.....That was really fantastic how they did that. Other than that? We've got a reasonably good '50s WWII movie.

Christopher Kane Fall 2012
The leading forces in London Fashion Week's resurgence in credibility in the world's eyes are without doubt Burberry and Christopher Kane. It might seem odd to mention an exponentially growing 150-year-old megabrand and a young independent designer in the same breath, but in spite of the extreme disparity in the size of their respective businesses, the moves of both are ravenously watched around the world. Kane's stature as a must-see designer—despite the fact that he sold his first garment only six years ago—is up there on par with the best of New York, Milan, and Paris. Whatever he does each season radiates desirability with a unique ripple effect that picks up momentum only after viewers have had a chance to mentally process what he's done. It's a time-release effect. At first, it's jolting because he's always doing something obsessively new with a different set of fabrics or surface-techniques from the last season—just as he did this time around. Gone are the pretty sticker flowers, schoolgirl skirts, and metallic pastel brocades of spring. In their place, a darker, more wicked look in moiré silk, leather, rose-flocked tulle, and even fur, stripped into black-and-white pinstripes. Kane gone adult, you might think.
Except that when he designs, there's always some teenager who triggers Kane's thought process. He met his "Miss Fall 2012" on the pages of a book from the 1980s by photographer Joseph Szabo on American teenagers; she was standing in the corridor of a club, wearing a fitted taffeta fifties sheath dress as a boy tries to kiss her. The music accompanying Kane's runway, from the sound track of the Al Pacino movie Cruising seemed to underscore the vaguely late New Wave reference as well as the colors: black, lilac, royal blue, burgundy, and a smattering of rockabilly leopard spot.
But Kane is never a slave to the mood board. Once he starts looking at fabrics and making them into samples, whole new ideas begin to fuse. This time it was A-line dresses with chunky, padded leather piping knotted at the shoulder and encircling the hems, knitwear woven with plastic wire, printed puffer coats, and chain mail embroidered with plastic flowers.
The odd color palette, which included a bright red section (and the surprise of an oversize cashmere and angora turtleneck sweater worn with red denim pants with a leather tuxedo stripe) became more and more compelling as the show went on. It didn't strike the chord of almost transcendental twenty-first-century beauty that had people weeping at his spring show, but it did do a lot of other things that will set Kane in good stead with women, as well as girls, this fall. It significantly deepened his range for one thing, stretching its luxury quotient upward with the fur jackets, offering trousers, denim, coats, tailored jackets, and slouchy knits—as well as his usual cocktail and party dresses galore. Chic grown-ups with money will understand for the first time that Christopher Kane is actually starting to speak to them.

Impermanence is also a
theme in the work of the late Jay Steensma (1941-1994) at Pulliam
Gallery. Steensma often painted on paper bags, turning this highly
disposable material into timeless reflections on landscape, animal life
and nature itself. Steensma's paintings of birds exude eerie charm,
rendered iconically in a crude but effective neo-primitivist style. His
mountainscape, Love Butte, speaks to the simultaneous reverence
for, and fear of, nature. Confident, mysterious and sinister, these
works demonstrate why Steensma earned a place in the pantheon of
historic Northwest artists alongside Morris Graves, Guy Anderson and
their ilk. We are here but for a moment, his talismanlike paintings seem
to whisper, but the mountain remains for an eon.

PARK(ING) DAY RETURNS This September
What started as a few grassy plots of sod occupying metered parking spots in San Francisco has blossomed into a world-wide event scheduled to take place September 21st, 2007. Rebar's Park(ing) Day is back for its third year and is bigger and better than ever, this time partnering with both Public Architecture and The Trust for Public Land. ReBar hopes to expand this year's event beyond the 13 participating cities from 2006 including New York, London, and Rio de Janeiro; and they're inviting everyone to get involved- that means YOU!
If you're unfamiliar with the concept behind Park(ing) Day, it's a national one-day global event, centered in the city of San Francisco, calling all artists, activist, and citizens together to temporarily take over parking spots, turning them into "Park(ing)" spaces, or temporary public parks.
As the mission states, the purpose of Park(ing) Day "is to rethink the way streets are used, call attention to the need for urban parks, and improve the quality of urban human habitats… at least until the meter runs out."
How can you contribute? Check with The Trust for Public Land organization to see if there is anything going on in a city near you. If not, ReBar's Park(ing) Day site provides everything you need to know to create your own Park(ing) spot, including several environmentally suggestions on where to donate the green materials used to create your temporary park.
Lucky local San Franciscans can join a Park(ing) team, thanks to two community workshops held by ReBar on August 16th and September 11th. So what are you waiting for? Get involved, get your green-thumb in gear, and build yourself a temporary park for Park(ing) Day. See you there!

WOW! check out this website : http://www.ofamode.net/socialparking/

After 5 years…this concept became a national global event!
They should give credit to the person that started this…

Playtime for the kids.
August 25, 2007 at 12:10 pm
I'm really conflicted over this whole thing. It's cool that people are out there showing off gardening, and raising questions about green spaces in urban environments. However, it would annoy the piss out of me if I were looking for a parking spot somewhere and they had taken a few of them near my destination.
August 25, 2007 at 11:51 am
This is so exicting! I am thrilled to see the partnership and collaborative efforts between these fantastic groups.
Rebar has always struck me as having a great sense of humor, too! On a somewhat separate note, check out The Trust for Public Land's City Spaces Program, where kids themselves redesign and repopulate virtually unusable school playgorunds. Another great example of asphalt going green: http://www.tpl.org/tier3_cdl.cfm?content_item_id=21059&folder_id=2929

CaseFile Clues is something I heard about in the early fall of 2010. I sent an email through the website requesting the two free Sample Issues. I got them, briefly looked them over and filed them away to read later. Later never came and they are still sitting on my computer. When Michael asked if anyone would like to review CaseFile Clues I volunteered.
As I sat reading three of the four issues I received, I told myself I should have read those two issues in the fall and subscribed right away! CaseFile Clues offer genealogists of every level the opportunity to learn something new. Each Case provides actual family cases, records used, analysis performed, and a lot of common sense advice that we all "know" but sometimes "forget."
In Volume 1-Number 18, Mugging the Biography for Clues, Michael discusses what is written in a biography and writes, "…it is noted that the author does not state that the father moved to "White County, Indiana" at an early date, just that he moved to "Indiana at an early date." Avoid the temptation to read more into something than what is actually there." I love the last line, avoid the temptation. How often do we read something yet see something else?
Along those lines, in Volume 2-Number 15, 1810-1840 Census Analysis: Thomas Chaney, Michael talks a lot about assumptions. He stresses the fact we should write our assumptions about a person or the research path in our notes. Doing so as we make the assumptions helps us remember that some assumptions are not realistic.
Michael offers the CaseFile Clues subscription for a mere $17 a year. That is less expensive than most genealogy magazines we all subscribe to each year. CaseFile Clues even has a blog so readers can learn more tips and see what's coming up next!
Many of us are looking for valuable educational experiences without busting our budgets. CaseFile Clues is one of those valuable educational experiences that should not be passed up. I subscribed, will you?
Disclosure: I was not compensated for this review. Michael John Neill twittered asking if anyone would like to review CaseFile Clues on their blog or website. I contacted him through his website and said I would. I immediately received two Sample Issues of CaseFile Clues to read. Michael also sent me two additional ones to provide a variety of reading. I did subscribe this weekend and cannot wait to receive the next issue of CaseFile Clues.Tweet

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.
Mariner 9 was the second in the pair of identical spacecraft launched in 1971 to orbit Mars. The first spacecraft, Mariner 8, failed to reach Earth orbit.
Based on a wide octagonal structure, these vehicles used a bipropellant propulsion system with a fixed thrust of 136 kilograms for orbital insertion around Mars. All scientific instrumentation on the spacecraft was mounted on a movable scan platform underneath the main bodies. The span of the spacecraft over its extended solar panels was 6.9 meters.
Following an en route midcourse correction on 5 June 1971, Mariner 9 ignited its main engine for 915.6 seconds on 14 November 1971 at 00:18 UT, becoming the first human-made object to enter orbit around a planet other than Earth. Initial orbital parameters were 1,398 x 17,916 kilometers at 64.3° inclination.
The primary goal of the mission was to map about 70 percent of the surface during the first three months of operation. The dedicated imaging mission began in late November, but because of the major dust storm at the planet during this time, photos taken prior to about mid-January 1972 did not show great detail. Once the dust storm had subsided, Mariner 9 began to return spectacular photos of the deeply pitted Martian landscape, showing for the first time such features as the great system of parallel rilles stretching more than 1,700 kilometers across Mare Sirenum.
The vast amount of incoming data countered the notion that Mars was geologically inert. There was some speculation on the possibility of water having existed on the surface during an earlier period, but the spacecraft data could not provide any conclusive proof.
By February 1972, the spacecraft had identified about 20 volcanoes, one of which, later named Olympus Mons, dwarfed any similar feature on Earth. Olympus Mons, part of Nix Olympica-a "great volcanic pile" possibly formed by the eruption of hot magma from the planet's interior-is 25 kilometers high and has a base with a diameter of 600 kilometers. On 11 February 1972, NASA announced that Mariner 9 had achieved all its goals. By the time of last contact at 22:32 UT on 27 October 1972, the spacecraft had mapped 85 percent of the planet at a resolution of 1 to 2 kilometers, returning 7,329 photos.

Easy to Use Rug Pad, Exactly as Described
These rug pads arrived for me in 3 days, before the rugs I also ordered from Overstock. I ordered three of the 9 x 12 and they came folded up in a plastic bag as opposed to on a roll. This has its + (saves space and much easier to move around) and - (a little bit of bunching at the creases when you first unfold). The creases came out quickly and not having an extra cardboard roll was also nice. Those with sensitive hands or latex sensitivities may want to handle with a thin pair of gloves as the one side is not completely smooth (designed to grab the rug) and may scratch up your hands a bit. The other side definitely has latex in it. I expected a stronger odor than I found. This had almost no odor when opened, and dissipated quickly. Overall, a sturdy long lasting product. Cutting with scissors or a carpet blade is definitely possible.Read More
supreme felted dual surface rug
This was a great buy for my $. Because a rug pad is something that is hidden- it doesn't matter what it looks like. i just wanted more than the standard waffle rug pad. Now with the supreme, my rug feels very soft and comfy when i walk on it. The rug pad also extends the life of the rug.Read More
The three rug pad I prichased are excellent.
I ordered three of these rug pads, different sizes and all are excellent quality. I highly recommend these pads. I placed them under natural fiber rugs and provided cushion as well as extend the life of the rugs.Read More
Felt rug pad
This is a very nice, thick rug pad. My rug is backordered until next month so I haven't been able to test it totally, but I'm sure it will be fine. The pad lays nice and flat and is sized perfectly for under my 9x12 rug...it should be a little smaller than the rug and it is.Read More
This rug pad is super
Bought this rug pad to use under an indoor/outdoor rug inside a cabin with very heavy traffic. The pad works exactly as described. I wonder if I will be able to clean it, but haven't had it long enough to know. It made our thin rug feel like carpet. I definitely recommend this rug pad for anyone looking to buy one.Read More

Not sure.
good reviews
based on reviews
to hold my rug in place
I have a rug that needs a pad and I've purchased rug pads from overstock in the past and have been happy with them.
I needed many of these for rugs I've purchased here at O and didn't know which one to purchase. I bought this very one and was SO pleased with it, that I went right back and ordered five more in the sizes I needed. Fabulous!
Recommended by one of your customers who purchased two different pads and compared, with this one being their choice.
I needed some cushion under a rather large throw rug I purchased recently.
I needed a carpet pad and the reviews were really good.
I liked the reviews on this!
Good reviews
Do you know the model of the rug on top of the pad in the picture?
Thank you for contacting us, mrm. Unfortunately no, we apologize for any inconvenience we might have caused. I attached below the link to some of our best rugs. I hope it helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Area-Rugs/244/cat.html
Does this product contain flame retardants?
Hello kahhsu, this rug pad does not contain flame retardants. Thank you for shopping with us! Terri D.
Can this product be used safely on hardwood floors with a polyurethane finish without causing any discoloration?
Hello diy2013, This rug pad is safe for use on hardwood floors, however because polyurethane tends to yellow over time we cannot guarantee the space under the pad will age the same as the exposed finish. Thank you for shopping with us.
There are conflicting answers to the question about thickness of this pas; one states it is 1/2" and another answer says is is 1/4" thick. Will this pad keep a thin flatweave rug 9X12 from bunching & wrinkling? With elderly residents, the overall thickness needs to remain low. How much will this pad raise a flatweave rug that is .25 height?
I used it under a 9 x 12 thin, expensive rug and it is fine. Mine is closer to 1/2 inch thick.
This pad certainly isn't 1/2" thick but it is considerably thicker and better quality than most rug pads out there. I would say it's close to a full 1/4" thick. It will most definitely keep rugs in place but the thickness could be a problem if you have residents that are pushing a walker or something similiar.
I agree with emailloni, First of all the rug is about 6" shorter than the rug it is under. This caused a bit of a step off which would be fine for most people but people using a walker may have a problem with it. The rug and pad do stay put and I think that is due to the size. It is pretty heavy
Should the rug pad be the same size as the rug, or if I am buying a 9 x 12 rug, should I buy a 8 x 10 pad?
I bit the bullet and bought a rug pad the same size as the rugs (I ordered 5 rugs and rug pads). For some it worked out and for others I needed to cut a couple inches off the pad. For something like a 9x12 vs. 8x10, I'd go with the smaller pad. For others, the difference is much bigger and it may be better to get the larger pad and cut it down to size if needed.
I would say it depends on the thickness of the rug and pad. If buying a solid colored and thinner rug, the edge of the smaller pad (if buying thicker pad) will create a step-down as the rug continues beyond the smaller pad. If highly textured rug and multiple color and thick rug, a smaller pad won't be as noticable. We bought a thick pad (1cm height from overstock) and a thick shag rug - can still feel the edge of the pad when walking but not bad since the rug is thick and plush. If buying solid colored and uniform length fiber rug, I would buy same size pad and trim the edges.
My understanding is the pad should be almost the same size as the rug, just a bit smaller, like an inch or so all the way around. This is how I buy and use the pads on my area rugs. This info. came to me from a large Persian/Oriental rug importer/seller. Hope this helps.
Can this pad be used on concrete floors?
Hi fairies74, yes this can be used on concrete floors. Thanks for shopping with us.
I want to use this pad on top of carpet, putting an oriental rug on top of the pad. My sole reason for putting the pad down is to keep the oriental rug from "walking" and bunching on the carpet. Is this pad suited for this use?
I would use the thinner pad
What brand is this pad? How thick is the pad - you have given two conflicting answers on this board? Thanks
Hello what1areu, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. Sorry for the confusion the pad is .25 inches thick. Thank you for shopping with us.
pad is about 1/4"
Can this pad be used safely with laminate floors?
Hello kbmm1, this pad should work great on a laminate floor. Have a great day and thank you for shopping with us.
Is this made of natural or synthetic rubber. It seems to be listed under both. Also, what do you suggest for a 17'3"x 9'5" rug?
It is synthetic. You would have to buy a second pad and trim to fit.
How thick is this pad ?
The pad is 0.25 inch thick and weighs 15 pounds.
We have a dog and three small kids. Is it ruined with one pet accident or can I wash it if necessary?
It can be spot or steam cleaned but it is not machine washable.
pet accident can be spot cleaned- do not let the stain set in and you'll be good
Can this pad be cut to fit an area rug that measures 7'10
You may alter this rug in any way you would like, although the return policy will not be the same after any alterations.
It needed to be trimmed to fit my rug - only an inch or two - so I imagine you could cut it to fit any size smaller than its measurements.
What side of this padding is on the floor? I don't know which side is up or down.
The gripping side should be on the floor.
I see that the pad is made of felted top layer and a latex bottom layer. Are both materials mold and mildew resistant? Thanks.
Yes, the materials are mold and mildew resistant.
what is the thickness and weight of this pad?
The pad is 1/4 inch thick and weighs 15 pounds.
Can this pad be used on bamboo floor with radiant heat?
This can be used on a bamboo floor with radiant heat.
Yes it can. It can be used on bamboo flooring.
How thick is this pad?
This is approximately 1/2 inches in thickness.

By BVN Staff
Rialto — May is National Foster Care Month. This month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the experiences of more than 400,000 children and teens in America's foster care system. On Saturday morning, May 19, 2012, at the San Bernardino Hilton Garden Inn, The Brightest Star organization is hosting its 2nd Annual Shining Star Awards, honoring those in Southern California making a difference in the lives of youth thriving in the foster care.
This year's honorees are Albert Jackson, Coordinator of McKinley Center Brain Lab, Andre Bossieux, Program Director, San Bernardino County TAY Center, Bill Cooper, Coordinator Riverside County Education Foster Youth, Bernadette Pinchback, Program Manager, SB County Superintendent of Schools Foster Youth Services, Deborah Sutton, Executive Director of CASA Riverside County, Erin D. Phillips, President, Children's Fund, Heidi Mayers, Executive Director, Youth Hope, Kevin Anderson, Program Manager, San Bernardino County ILP Supervisor, Michael Antonvich, Los Angeles County 5th District Supervisor, Nadine Lee, Executive Director, Speak the Dream Foundation, Maricela Duran, Principal, Joan Macy School David and Margaret Children and Family Services, Marsha Slough, Honorable Judge San Bernardino Juvenile Court, Michelle Runnels, Executive Director, Aspiranet, Tammy DeHesa, Founder & President, Make A Difference, Phyllis Stricklan, Firm Director, The Children's Law Center, Pamela Clay, Executive Director, Living Advantage.
"This year, in addition to our 16 honorees, we are delighted to honor a very special former foster youth suggested to us from Cal State San Bernardino's EOP Foster Youth Program," said Lea Michelle Cash, President & CEO of The Brightest Star, Inc. "I immediate thought what an excellent idea to celebrate the achievements of a deserving young person."
Jahara Tinsley is this year's honoree. She is currently in pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work and is graduating in June 2012. As a former foster youth, Jahara has beaten the odds. While statistics show that only 1-5% of former foster youth graduate with their baccalaureate degree, she has managed to maintain a strong GPA throughout her college career and will be earning her degree within 4 years' time. Jahara's resilience and perseverance are impressive and demonstrative of her hard work and dedication. As a result of funding provided by the Children's Fund of San Bernardino County, Jahara was granted the opportunity to be assigned a peer mentor during her freshman year. Her experience as a mentee inspired her to serve in the position of mentor as an upperclassman. She is now in the process of completing her third year serving as a mentor to former and current foster youth. Her life's mission is to serve others. She has a particular interest in working in the field of child welfare, where she can work with and serve families that require intervention. To accomplish this goal, she recognized early on that she would have to continue her education by pursuing a graduate degree. Jahara has recently been accepted to the Masters of Social Work (MSW) programs at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA); California State University, Fullerton (CSUF); and California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB).
The event begins at 10:30 AM and is a breakfast brunch. Celebrities are invited to attend. The keynote speaker is David Neuman. Neuman is a television executive who has been the former President of Walt Disney Television and Touchstone Television, President of Programming, Current TV, Chief Programming Officer for CNN, and Vice President of Comedy Division, NBC. Neuman currently is the owner of Blackrock Productions and is a CASA advocate and volunteer. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased online.

various / 14 tracks - 14 tracks: clearing the Cache
Lars Lewandowski started recording under the name Pacou in the mid 90's and for a while everyone was convinced that the project had something to do with Moritz Von Oswald - so precise and devastating were his productions. After a series of releases for labels like Tresor, Music Man and Djax-Up-Beats, Lars set up the Caché imprint in 2005 as a home for his own productions and those of like-minded operators such as Mike Huckaby, Deepchord and Mlz, making it not only a label beloved of Techno purists but increasingly of the Dub Techno community hungry for the kind of reductionist depth the label has called its own over the last few years. This selection has been hand-picked and annotated by Pacou himself and features tracks from most of the releases on the label to date, making for a serious Techno stockpile for long-time followers and newcomers alike.
