Wayne Law to host Visiting Japanese Judge, March 29
DETROIT (March 5, 2010) – Judge Kentaro Ono of the Osaka District Court will present a lecture titled "An Introduction to Japanese Juvenile Delinquency Procedure" at 12:15 p.m. on March 29, 2010 in the third floor faculty lounge of the Law School.
"We are once again pleased to welcome Judge Ono to the Law School," said Wayne Law Dean and Professor of Law Robert M. Ackerman. "His past observations on criminal procedure in the Japanese courts have provided Wayne Law students, faculty, staff and friends with a better understanding of our own legal system. We look forward to new observations and further discussion."
Judge Ono is here as part of a special arrangement, which began in 2007 between Wayne Law, the Third Circuit Court of Michigan and the Supreme Court of Japan. The arrangement provides for a judge from the Japanese judicial system to visit Michigan to research and study the American judicial system, with a special emphasis on Michigan trial courts.
Judge Ono served on the Tokyo District Court as a judge from October 2005 through March 2008. In April 2008, he was appointed to the Sakai Branch of the Osaka District Court. He received his training as a legal apprentice from the Legal Training and Research Institute of the Supreme Court. He received a Bachelor of Law degree from the University of Tokyo.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Lunch is provided. For more information regarding this event, please contact the Law School Dean's Office at (313) 577-3933.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Heck I was enjoying are chat well heck mabe we should start an off topic section for us old welder.
|I think he means we are getting a bit off subject here and I guess he may be right. This forum is for cars and street rods, not bridges and power shovels and I think we have just about beat that welding wire subject to death so I will hush up now.
What are you talking about???
Instant messaging, PRIVATE messaging, and talking on the telephone
Chevy and oldred, please see above.
Interesting Well said, With regards to mining I was hopping you could go into more detail on the mining equipment and why flux core wire was not allowed I was looking around last night a little but could not fine a tensile strength on flux core wire. Only this wire was good for structural Steel Ok that was help full so what does that mean?. I wanted info lol duh!
But the engineering is what I finding interesting which is driving the type of welding we use. On the heavy equipment or Structural Steel
Ive never worked on The really heavy equipment, I did work for a small mining equipment manufacture that made the smaller stuff like cone crusher. shaker screens and storage bunkers we also did cement plants, most of that was mig or stick 7018
I have done some backhoe repair work and hard facing of the buckets. but thats about it.
So In California It's interesting we could weld with flux core. columns connection clips where the beam would bolt between the column and those clips were caring the sheer load of the beam and the roof. So I would think there would have to be allot the tensile strength to carry the sheer load. The other interesting thing is because of the new earth codes you bolt and weld the beam to keep the bolts or the weld's from failing a seismic event.
And last what I'm getting out of all of this is that depending on the application and year of engineering is what work for one application may not work for the other.
Oldred like you said so well there are a lot of factor to consider when welding and just using any old welder or rod is not correct.
I find my self watch the power block on Saturday and wonder why 90% of the welding is done with Mig. I to am a firm believer in using 7018 to.
Engineering in the hot rod world really has no set standard only I use this and it work for me seem A little ifey to me. Is there dot standards for after market parts? and welding?
Don't know of any mining problems related to welding but you have brought up a point that does relate to street rod welding and that would be which rod or wire to use. When someone says "stick" welding that covers a great deal of territory with rod and wire tensile strengths running from 60,000 to 120,000 but tensile strength is not the whole story. There are various alloys within each group that change the characteristics to meet certain demands so to say "7018", "8018" or "9018" does not tell the complete story either since there are several variations of each just as there are variations of most other classes of wires and rods. In the case of the dragline booms I mentioned earlier (which would most closely relate to say frame welding) we were required to use 7018 and that would be my choice for welding a street rod frame however I am surprised that someone would chose it to weld a spring On large steel castings such as bucket lips some of the repairs could be up 14" thick and it depended on the alloy which rod or wire was chosen, Marion power shovel specified E9018M while EASCO, due to a different alloy, specified 7018 for a similar repair on their equipment, point being here is that there is no one size fits all. However fluxcore was NEVER chosen anywhere for anything except for wear plates and other non-critical areas because we learned years ago that even with attention paid to welding techniques, that is using all the tricks, this stuff was a loser. As a general rule 7018 would be the best all-around choice for someone welding on a street rod (E70 class wire for MIG/TIG) but in the event one might be required to weld on a steel casting (spindle maybe?), Notice I said STEEL NOT CAST IRON!, Then there may be some benefit from using E8018 or equivalent there. As for welding springs this is simply not a job that can be normally accomplished with any degree of success on a street rod so just replace the problem and be done with it. Again you make a good point about how to properly weld a frame and that is to use controlled preheating and cooling along with proper welding techniques, this is also very important with suspension components. Trying to cover the proper methods for welding and precise selection of filler rod for all situations is simply not practical and if someone needs this info it would best be dealt with on an individual basis.
I think maybe you are missing my point about structural steel welding- again the structure itself is designed to carry the load but the weld must of course be sound regardless of what is used, therefore the inspection. The flux core is sufficiently strong and has the characteristics to meet the demands in this application but that does not mean it is better or even equal to other methods, just more practical in this case. I am not saying a flux core weld is inherently weak I am saying that in a critical weld situation where the weld carries most or all of the load, unlike a designed load bearing structure such as a building, the flux core is inferior to properly done stick, MIG, TIG or Duel-Sheild and especially in the case of small low amp machines could cause serious problems when used in critical areas.
Oldred. I'm not sure I would agree with flux core not being stronger than say 7018 Which was one of two rods we were allow to use in California with all the earth quakes stuff. I believe the flux core we were using had a higher tensile strength that 7018 and 7018 is 70,000 pound tensile strength So I will have to ask my brother what flux core wire we were using. I just can't remember.
I agree flux core is not the correct process for suspension parts.
As far as suspension goes I know the truck frames were heat treated and when we mounted the mixer on the truck chassis we had to preheat the frame rail with a rose bud and a red heat stick. Then when the heat stick melted it was ready to weld. We welded with 7018. if the heat was off just a little the weld would split down the middle when it started to cool.
Now I found the process of welding on a truck frame to be incorrect. At the time I thought that by heating the frame would ruin the heat treating an weaken the frames. But the good old Engineers said no problem you would think we would have cover the frame to let them cool slowly.
Now on the dump trucks it was a bolt up angle clips with spring bushing no welding. Which I found interesting Engineering. so my question always was why weld on one and not the other. I have been two a couple of spring fab shop and watch them weld crack spring leaf with 7018 back together and re heat treat them. I found this to be weird but I guess it was cheaper than replacing the leafs.
Oldred, I'm just interested in the mining deal. With all the mining problem of late. I'm wondering what where you weld process you use on the equipment you fabricated or repaired?
Chevy, Structural steel welds using flux core is common on things like bridges and buildings but that does not mean it is chosen because it is stronger than stick or MIG just that is is more practical, it is a LOT faster than stick and MIG just would for the most part be unusable outside in the wind. These welds must meet certain standards but in most structural steel welds the design dictates that the structure itself will carry the bulk of the load thus the weld is of a non-critical nature and as I pointed out earlier it is often used where in years past rivets would have been used. The fact that flux core wires are used in building structures has little to do with steering and suspension parts since the demands on the welds here are of a very different nature and the weld is subject to loads and shocks that would be carried in the structure itself on something like a building. As I said before flux core (gasless) has it's place but steering and suspension is not that place.
35, I am a big fan of Lincoln since I made my living with them for many years and they never let me down even when I abused them so they remain my favorite. When someone asks about a shop welder I will recommend Lincoln but I always point out that Miller has become more popular than either Lincoln or Hobart and for a darn good reason! Lincoln, Miller and Hobart are all good outfits and choice should depend on features, service availability and price, not because someone else says one is better than the other-the Chevy/Ford debate
I have a Lincoln Sp175T as well as a Lincoln Pro Tig 185-had a problem early on with the 175T (Computer Board failed-they hadn't seen that before-gee, really? ), and the Lincoln Warranty Station was very prompt and treated me very well even though I didn't buy it from them. I had lost my receipt and they checked the date code on the machine (warranty good for three years) and honored it-excellent service!
I have had NO problem since and would highly recommend the 175 (by the way the SP175T and the Pro Mig 175 (at Lowe's or Home Depot are the same unit just rebadged). Just make sure you have a Lincoln Warranty Station nearby in case of problems or for future consumables, although Lowe's and Home Depot carry them (at least in my part fo the World).
The Miller vs. Lincoln debate will never end (Ford vs. Chevy). I think they are both great machines, just look for the best Price/Support-by the way, I agree on the Gasless issue-my welds are so much nicer with gas-
I would hesitate to buy the Lincoln SP175 Plus-you don't need the adjustablility, save the money for that 6-71 Blower!, IMHO. I have a top notch Fabricator who works for me, and he told me along time ago he doesn't need Heat Ranges, he can weld just about anything by just adjusting JUST the Wire Speed-I'm not that good, but I find he is right MOST of the time,
I love the debate I know we used flux core on structural Steel and 7018. I can't remember what flux wire we use only remember it was for Structural steel that had to be inspected.
We had a portable welder guy with a boom truck we use from time to time and I think he was running a LN7 Also in my younger day I working for Challenge Cook Bros. building heavy equipment Cement mixer dump trucks and the big bottom dump trailer. and we use 3 welding operation mig with a mild steel wire to weld the mixer barrel but summered Arc to weld all the seams. Chassis and frame compo nits we used 7018 3/16 rod.
I find that every field of construction use a little different welding depending on the engineering. Me being a millwright and some friend of mine being Iron worker it was closes. Same applies when we went to the oil refinery and all you could smell was gas and they were out there welding. need less to say I did not work much there to weird for me.
I also found depending on what kind of material you were use determined the welding process.
|Boon, I agree that the gas-sheilded flux core wires(duel-sheild) will make a weld that will hold it's own against about any commonly used method out there however as I am sure you are well aware of already there are a number of wire types in this class to choose from, some suitable for auto suspension parts and some not. I also have to agree that suspension parts and especially steering parts are best left to the pros and if someone is kind of in the dark about which wire to use this is definitely not the place to learn what works best. Gasless wires have their place and can be quite useful but they are no substitute for MIG, TIG or stick for a critical weld.
That question started a debate. So here is my 2 cents. I weld for a living, the restro work is a side line. The equipment I use in my fab shop are
lincoln DC-400 power units with LN-7 feeders,I use .045 flux core wire with 75/25 sheilding gas because alot of the equipment is old and dirty( stuff you can't wash off). So to answer your question the lincoln 135 and 175 are both good machines. If you have 220 voltage you will be happier with the 175 machine. Stay away from the Gasless machines. I have used them all.
As for welding in the four link, not trying to insult you but you need to know what you are doing. If you do have the experance the 175 with .030 solid wire and a 75/25 gas will do a good job for you.
|Chopt, Excellent advice
|Chopt 48
A couple of suggestions.
1. If your welding skill level or equipment isn't up to a certain critical task.
Do all the alignment and trial fitting and tac weld the items together and either have a skilled welder go to your shop to weld it or take the item to a skilled welder with proper equipment. Most of the time the real time consumer of a welding project is the alignment of the pieces, the actual welding only takes a short period of time. I built my first T-Bucket just that way. Cut, fit and tac with my 50.00 monkey wards welder and then haul the part down the street to my friends shop and have him finish welding it.
2. Don't over estimate yor skill level. No one who hasn't welded before is going to be able to walk up to a welder and automatically start laying a perfect bead.
3. spend some time practicing, you wife won't care if the welds on that plant stand you just made her with your brand new wire feed are perfect but it will give you the welding practice and make her happy.
|Ok, Not trying to beat a dead horse here or offend anyone and if flux core has worked for you (so far) fine but it IS a compromise and it is not as strong as a properly done stick or MIG weld and IMO should never be used on steering or suspension parts. As I have pointed out already this opinion is based on many years of experience using this wire (including the .030-.035 sizes) and includes extensive testing. After market steering parts and suspension parts that are welded are almost exclusively welded using the MIG process with some of the more expensive ones using TIG. NOT ONE of them, that I know of, uses flux core and I am willing to bet that none does. If you check with the manufacturer of parts that call for welding during installation I seriously doubt if any would recommend flux core to do this. Probably few if any use stick but mostly because of the time factor, stick will work fine if properly done. Steering and suspension components are too critical to take a chance with so to anyone thinking of using flux core on these parts if you don't want to take my word for it I strongly recommend calling the manufacturer before doing so and I am willing to bet you will be told not to do it, and for a damn good reason!

On Tuesday June 26th at 1PM we will be having an extra EPSB public board meeting to discuss a few emergent issues related to our staff groups. Additionally, we will have a chance to discuss my motion related to assessment practices in the district. I know I told many of you the debate wouldn't happen until the fall, but the extra meeting allows us time to have a few more discussions before the summer recess.
The agenda is posted here: http://www.epsb.ca/board/june262012_agenda.shtml
To register to speak to this or any item on the board agenda please call 780-429-8021.
My motion reads:
|That the Board direct the Policy Review Committee to review policies related to student assessment to ensure clarity, consistency and to ensure that students are held to high standards.
This discussion has been fascinating and is significantly more complex than sometimes has been reported.
A democratic public education system thrives when we can have these conversations and ensure that we are responsive to the community while being informed by the best advice from our wise administrators.
As with all matters, trustees are not supposed to make up our mind until we vote, so I remain open to feedback and new information.
At the last meeting, I was asked what my thoughts are and whether I want kids to get zeros. I have a few questions for my colleagues and administration that I detailed here.
The short answer? Absolutely not– I want every child to get straight A's! The longer answer? Students should earn the mark they receive, and they should be able to look to their marks as a true reflection of where their strengths and weaknesses lie. This is why honest assessment is so important in genuine, inspiring, lasting education. This philosophy applies as much to a mark of zero as it does to an A. At the end of the day I want all students to complete the work and be held to high standards.
Grades are a big motivator for some students, while avoiding detention for missed work and missing recess is the main motivator for another. I think it is important to allow our teachers flexibility in their toolbelts to ensure that they can adapt to each student and their unique situation. An elementary student requires different treatment than a high school honors student.
I think it is also important to recognize that Principals should ensure that teachers are using all of the options available to them to get the best results from their students. These practices should be consistent throughout the district and be clear to all parents and students.
I think a chance to clarify and ensure consistency for our students should be a priority for our board. The Policy Review Committee has the potential to work with the administration to set up a process to engage staff, students, parents, community members, industry leaders, academics, post secondary, and other important stakeholders thus recommending the most thorough and robust policy possible for our district.
Ensuring that our students are held to high standards is a goal everyone shares. Everyone wants our students to achieve success.
As always, if you would like to reach myself or my colleagues, please email email@example.com or find your trustee here: http://www.epsb.ca/trustees/index.shtml

Cash Rental Payments
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
If you pay your landlord with cash, your landlord must provide you with a written receipt, and the landlord must also enter the payment date and amount into a record book maintained by the landlord. If the landlord fails to do either of these things, you may sue the landlord to make him comply with the law, and you can recover court costs, reasonable attorneys fees, in addition to $500 (or one month's rent, whichever is greater) for each violation by the landlord. You have two years from the date of a violation by your landlord to file such a lawsuit.

The V & A Museum announces …………………….
In advance of an exhibition of Wedding Dresses in 2013 we are creating a database of photographs of clothes worn for weddings from all cultures between 1840 and the present. We include civil partnerships. This database will provide a rich record and help people date their own photographs.
To ensure we build a useful historical record all entries will provide the year of the event and the names of the bride and groom or partners. The place and the religion of the wedding will be included if possible. We would like you to upload up to three photographs showing the fashions at any one wedding and the principal image should focus on the detail of the wedding dress (or partners' clothes).
Already available for viewing are a large number of photographs which are all docemumented with the names of the bride and groom, place and date of the wedding and in some cases who made the clothes. A marvellous resource for dating old photographs and perhaps even finding one of your ancestors are featured.

Re: Thinking about upgrading...
"Lots of choices, but if you buy basic strong construction over "dock side condo" styling and quality, you will always be happier in the long run".
I really agree with this sentiment as you consider both boats. How the boats have been maintained and what "upgrades" have or have not been done (autopilot, chartplotter, newer sails, etc) also should influence the decision.
Everyone has different preferences about cabin size and layout. We are very happy with our "move-up" boat, '97 Caliber 35 LRC... traditional layout, very solid construction with quality portholes/hatches/winches etc and loads of storage for the longer cruises we can now do. Sailing characteristics and "seakindly" motion matter too... should be fun to sail! Thinking about how you will actually be using the boat (and where) should dictate what is on your "must-have" list. For example, sailing in warmer climates means ventilation down below is important. I am the "Admiral" in our case (hate that term), but I would advise other wives/spouses not to get infatuated with the dock-side condo aspect of a boat... a well-found sailing vessel doesn't need fake flowers on the saloon table!!
Good luck, and enjoy the search!
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
Thanks for all the help. After lots of looking - almost a year online - and climbing aboard a handful of top contenders, we're going to close on the Ericson this week.
As often seems to be the case, she was one of the first boats we climbed aboard. We both liked the lines and how well she had been cared for - and then loved them after looking at boats $25k more expensive that were not as well cared for or as pretty.
Thanks for everyone's input and hope to see you on the Bay this spring.
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
I cruised this weekend with a fellow sailing an Ericson 30. There's plenty to love about that boat, and precious little to complain about. You might consider one of them.
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
Carl -
I agree with Mike. It's been a good boat. The only negative is the location of the traveler. It is in front of the wheel - which is great for sailing, but stops you from installing a table - which would be great at the dock. So, it's a small trade off that I never minded. Last year at the sailboat show, I looked at every other 27 ft boat there. The inside of the Ericson felt like a mansion compared to some of the cramped layouts I saw. And, it has better lines.
Motoring through wakes or chop isn't great, but I think that's just par for the course. As for sailing performance, I think it points extremely well (despite some reviews to the contrary) and I can't remember being passed by many other 27 footers (also despite reviews). I've gotten the sails wet and never felt uneasy about the boat's ability to keep trucking along. When sailing with seas about 3 ft, the waves can push the rudder around so you have to hang on.
All in all, I love it. I am only getting something larger for a little more foot space in the V-berth, a larger cockpit – two things for the wife – and the ability to spend a week on the hook comfortably.
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
Carl W: I can't say enough good about the Ericson 27 . . .poke around over at ericsonyachts.org . . .
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
I have a Tartan 37 here outside Cambridge Md, 90 min from DC fro sale that I'd love to show you. I'm only selling because I just bought the HB40. Beautiful boat...
|Carl W
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
Glad to hear you are upgrading, me too. Only I am looking at an Ericson 27, I would appreciate any advice you could offer on the 27. Thanks
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
I agree, you can't go wrong with a Ericson or a Tartan. If you are looking for more leg room, I think you will find most mid-30 ft range to be about the same. Ericson makes a really nice 38 in a few different types of design.
Also Pearson makes a solid 365 and 367 design.
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
Understand the room in the V Berth for the Erickson.
Check out the T37 or the C&C 35 MKIII like we have. Our V is exceptionally long for a boat its size. My wife and I have no issues or problems sleeping forward when we want to and I am not a small guy. We also have the standard easyily converted double in the salon. When we are travleing on vacation or just the two of us ( most of the time) we often sleep there and just keep the table down. Most of our meals during the seasons are in the cockpit. I am not a fan of the coffin aft bunks shoehorned under the cockpit. Usually not enough fresh air moving i there. They make great garages as soes our double quarterberth
I think the other boat, Bene you are looking at will be ok for the coastal druising you intend to do. For me ( only my opinion), I didnt want a large flat back stern in the water ( on a 35 footer) with a huge party cockpit. That doesnt make it wrong...its just not what I wanted. Lots of my friends have them and love them. I envy their swim platforms and dinghy access. I dont envy them on coastal trips or following seas.
I would look longer term though as you may keep this boat a lot longer than your previous because the next styep up is a big one. Build quality is all important. Structural bulkheads, chainplates, rigging, equipment size and quality, engine horsepower, tankage ( big obe), storage space ( big one). We found the Sabre, Tartans, C&Cs and Ericksons had room, while the production boats gave that room up for the nicer salons or trying to make the sleeping area larger in this size boat. Dont forget engine horsepower vrs size also. And of course resale value. There will be tradeoffs as rarely does one boat have everything you want. Electroinics can be replaced. Should not enter the decision. Our 83 has more modern electrontics now than boats sold 2 years ago. You cant replace the hull, the size of the V, the thickness of fibergalss etc.
While its important that there be enough sleeping room, there are more important other sub surface decisions which did also eliminate boats for me, I understand about keeping the Admiral happy, but what she is looking for may not always be the same. I was able to take a racer/ cruiser and add ammenities which made her ( and I ) happy and we are on it evry weekend from march- dec like it is our second home.
As far as upgrading...that never entered my decision. Condition of the hull and deck, engine condition and upkeep were the prime considerations. I wanted to upgrade electrontics and systems to make it my footprint anyway.
Sailing ability, speed, comfort in the seaway are important. You know how and what you will use this boat so buy accordingly. If you are going cruising....fast sailing ability may not be the prime factor. If you are mostly on the Bay with some trips...dont buy a boat you will be motoring
all the time all summer where you will use it the most where the winds are usually light 4 months of the year. The Chessie isnt San Fran Bay.
Trelliys old Erickson is a great boat, you will be hard pressed to find one in the condition it appears to be in, The E 39 was also a good one. When he moved up to the 40LRC he has, I will bet many of the factors which made him pick the Erickson were also there in his newer boat,( 40Calber is one of the best boats for cruising for its size).
We just went through this exercise oin looking for our last boat...a boat to cruise to the Carribean with and stay on for 5 months. It took us all of last year to decide and we climbed on over 100 boats. I actually had to give a little on my having a very quick boat ( i like performance cruisers) somehwat for the balance of stability in trade winds. I love the larger Sabres and Tartans, but my reuirement is a protected rudder now and they dont have them. After a year we narrowed to a Mason 43/44, Bristol 41.1/45.5, Hans Cristian Christina 43, or Moody 44. Nnone of them are speed demons...but all sail fairly well to windward. Nnow we are looking for one at the correct price in good condition. That may take a few years as I am picky.
There are so many considerations out there. I suggest you look at lots of boats in your size range and narrow down to 4 boats ( brands). If you can find someone one here who had one and go out on it. We narrowed ours down to Tartan, Sabre, C&C and Erickson in the years 19782- 1985 when I bought Haleakula 15 years ago Then start looking for the best kept ones in your price range. We knew wed pay more for these boats than similar years Catalinas, Hunters, Bennetaues, but we liked how they felt. As Sabreman said you will know when you have found the one you love. So many choices and variables....but dont rush...you dont have to.
Re: Thinking about upgrading...
LOL, that's probably a debate better served in another thread, although it's probably been argued to absolute death there as well.
In summary of all of that, the boat is only as good as the sailor, regardless of who built it. Buy the one that makes momma happy and you'll be happy. When torn between two "opposite ends of the scale", I like to step back and visualize which one of the two would I be willing to trade for? Meaning, does the Beneteau fulfill enough personal likes and wants that whatever you buy "this time", will eventually be traded in for one? If that's the case, skip the middle man and buy the boat.
Any pre-owned anything is only as good as it's previous owner. If the boat's been properly maintained and is set-up to a point that you don't feel like you have to break your back and/or the bank account to get it where you like it, then it's a winner.

The first Founders' Day was held in 1983 as part of the College's 50th anniversary. Since then, Founders' Day has become a tradition. It is scheduled annually on the second Wednesday in October.
The main part of the celebration is the convocation ceremony, at which the University's community and friends assemble in Pollak Theatre. The ceremony, presided over by the president, begins with a formal academic procession. The program is devoted to remembrance and a renewal of Monmouth's dedication to education and scholarship. As part of the ceremony, awards and honorary degrees are presented to individuals whose achievements merit recognition or who have been instrumental in nourishing the growth and progress of the University Student leader and honors scholars are also recognized. Faculty, students, staff, administrators, and friends of the University are invited to attend.

The Beaux-Arts mansion once named Shadow Lawn is pretty enough to bring graduates back on campus for wedding photos and magnificent enough to deserve its National Historic Landmark status. But mostly, Wilson Hall is full of activity as the administrative, academic, and social hub of the campus.
Arched ceilings soar over students as they attend classes in the limestone mansion, and the Great Hall's vast, stained Venetian glass skylight provides light, if not entertainment, for study groups. Once the private residence of a former president of F.W. Woolworth Co., Hubert T.

Re: My new escalade
comments? first impression? how is adaptive cruise control? lane guidance, etc? since you had a 2009, how is it compared? ride, quietness, acceleration, etc? thanks!
- 04-30-14 11:41 PM #13Originally Posted by evois
First impressions.
It's more refined then expected,transmission smoother,truck feels lighter.
It's quicker compare to gmt900 but not by much.
I tried in sport mode a little
It's little stiff with sport mode so I went back to tour mode.
Its a lot quiter inside,
I made a phone call from Bluetooth I didn't have to yell for them to hear me,
Very natural conversation.
Adaptive cruise is nice,
First time I had it in a vehicle.
I tried it few times tonight,it's brings the truck to full stop but I don't know if it suppose to stay engaged after full stop because I waited few seconds and it didn't start rolling so I punch the gas.
Then it said something on screen about adaptive cruise.
Also when I was backing into parking space near curb,
Car stopped automatically because I was trying to park too close to curb(this feature works when backing up less then 5 mph)
Let's see what else,
Steering is light,
Interior very well crafted.
Too bad connecting my phone to play music I had some trouble after the first song.
Need to take it in for that.
Also some clinging noise from driver side dash but not very annoying yet so I will take it in after I enjoy a little.
Lane guidance is nice feature and it feels like blind zone alert is better compare to my last 10 platinum.
Side mirrors are good but not as big as before.
Headlights looks like jewelry.
When it was parked in Starbucks today I saw a girl taking pictures
Overall very nice,
Gas mileage I got in city 12
Highway 20
So far I have 151 miles on it.
Feel free to ask any question
As far as taillights,
I didn't think I will like them,
I was very skeptical about it.
After spending day with it
it makes the truck look very distinct from everything else on the road.
Cue is better then before
More responsive compare to 13 Srx.
Glove box is smaller then expected(about same as gmt 900's)
A lot more cup holders,
Digital gauge is also very nice
So much info and can change the set up.
Seating position is good.
I think biggest improvement's are,
Quietness and better quality materials inside.

Re: My new escalade
Congrats and best of luck with your new truck, I have someone who also took delivery yesterday, and it was the diamond white Escalade I saw being delivered in NJ coming over for their Zaino fix today, so I will try to get some pics of that one if it's not pouring rain.

text: Governor thanks educators for "collective investment in our students and their futures" Letter from Governor Deval Patrick to Massachusetts educators forwarded by MTA President Paul Toner: Dear Fellow Educator, Governor Deval Patrick has asked that I share this message of gratitude with you. I also want to add my own thanks for all that you do for students, public education and our communities. Sincerely, Paul TonerMTA President September 20, 2013 Dear Teacher, Principal or Superintendent, Earlier this week we learned that Massachusetts students improved their performance again on the MCAS, setting new cumulative records. I wanted to thank you personally for delivering those gains. No other state in America comes close to the bragging rights we have in public education. On the front lines in classrooms across the Commonwealth, your hard work, creativity and dedication are inspiring young people and making a difference in their lives. This year's MCAS results show that 10th graders across the Commonwealth are performing at higher levels than ever before, students of color are closing the achievement gap in all subjects, and fourteen of the original thirty-four Level 4 or "turnaround" schools will exit that status this year after meeting their goals. None of this is happening by accident. It is because of our collective investment in our students and their future – teaching young people how to look up rather than down, and to say about themselves, their circumstances, and their future, "yes we can." For that, you make me incredibly proud. One of my favorite things to do as Governor is visit schools. During my seven years in office, I have been to every type and size of school – district schools, innovation schools, charter schools, vocational technical schools, urban schools, rural schools and everything in between. Across the board, what I have recognized as the catalyst for success is devoted and loving teachers and school leadership. The meaningful interactions I have witnessed between young people and caring adults in the classroom is where the real magic of learning happens. There is more work ahead, of course. There always is. But on this important milestone, I wanted to pause and tell you directly that I appreciate you and what you do. Sincerely, Deval Patrick

Awesome work bro

Thanks dude. Don't give up. It takes time to build up clients.
Yeah....sucks though because so many people around here are picking up doing it. I know of 2 other people within 30 minutes of me and thats not including the shops.
Seems like a majority of them only care about price and not the quality. Oh well. Leaves me to do more of what I want than have to I guess. Now if only I could get everything working 100% like it should I could get into doing some crazier stuff. Ive been talking to a guy that has a shop in Utah and he does some amazing stuff and has been trying to help but I need someone to actually come and see if its me, the equipment or what. I've tried as much trouble shooting as I can and still can't get it 100%
Dude come to my shop one day if you want. You have my number

Good work!!!
Sorry I've really been slacking on the photos. Finally getting my OWN shop, no partners this time. I will just be able to leave my camera there and bring my laptop every day to take some good quality photos not cell phone pictures like im going to post now :lol: ..

We call it the Rizla game because Rizla is a brand of cigarette paper in the UK. You write the name of a celebrity on a Rizla, lick it, and stick it on the forehead of the person next to you so that everyone can see it except them.
Unfortunately, given that none of us were smokers, we didn't have any Rizlas, so we had to employ a variety of methods including twisting paper into each other's hair and using chewing gum!
Once everyone has their celebrities stuck to their heads, it's a game of 20 yes/no questions. Am I a man? Am I an actor? Am I Asian? Etc. If the answer is yes, you get another question. If it's no, the game moves on to the next person. The first person to guess who they are wins the game.
I was terrible, and didn't win a single game, but it was all good fun anyway! Elvis, Monica Lewinsky, Shakira… the British girl continually guessed correctly and won nearly all the games, clearly having played this game many times before.
After the cachaça was finished, we went up to the upper deck and danced to the terrible forro music they were playing. We didn't know how but it didn't seem that important!
We slept well that night, and after 2 days of this, finally landed in Belem.
I'd organized for Carlos and I to stay at a couchsurfer's place named Ricardo, and planned to contact him as soon as we found an internet café.
Unfortunately… things didn't go quite as planned.

This time I was a bit wiser about the boat experience, and we arrived early to hang our hammocks up high. We also made a trip to the supermarket beforehand, to buy bread, crackers, vegetables, tinned tuna, and a large bottle of cachaça. I wasn't into the boat food at ALL and I didn't intend to eat it this time! We even learned that there was a small hotplate on board, so I bought some noodles and powdered soup mix as well.
On board we met two German girls and a British girl who were also part of the Couchsurfing network, and I was relieved to have the chance to speak some English for a while. I know I should have been learning and practicing Portuguese, but…. You know…
We spent a lot of time on the top of the boat, tanning our legs and chatting about our Couchsurfing experiences, reading books, and making macramé bracelets. During the night we opened the cachaça and some juice, and decided to play some games to pass the time.
We played a couple of different card games, but found that there was no place to sit on the boat where the wind didn't continue blowing the cards off the table! We moved onto a few rounds of "I have never" (an evil drinking game) but decided we didn't really want to get that drunk on the boat. Eventually moved onto 'The Rizla Game', which proved to be the winner!

In the evening we went back to the square to have another caipirinha. The area was full of 'hippies' , which is the common name given to artisans – travellers who make jewelry from macramé or wire, often with dreadlocks, and usually smoking their funny-smelling cigarettes. But these hippies weren't smoking, they were running a clown skills workshop for children! It was a lot of fun to watch – there must have been 40 or 50 people in the square, and they were learning to juggle, climb rope, climb on top of each other, and twirl batons. The children were having a great time, laughing and trying to better each other.
The nightlife was pretty much non-existent after sundown in Alter do Chao, so we generally slept quite early and woke up early to appreciate the beaches.
After a couple of days, Juan had to leave to continue his journey, but Carlos and I decided to stay on a bit longer. We found a man renting out paddleboats, which I confess to loving, but the best thing was an enormous swan boat that awoke the child inside me. Carlos was too embarrassed to translate for me, so I went over the guy and asked him in portunhol how much it would cost to rent the swan boat.
After I'd closed the transaction I of course forced Carlos to join me in the swan, which he did without too much complaining. In fact, the boat was heavy, difficult to turn, and kind of a pain, but we did get some excellent photos from the experience.
After a week of this – fish, beer, caipirinhas, beaches – it was time to get moving again.
Back on the boat!

The next day we hired kayaks and went out to explore the area.
Alter do Chao is at the junction of two rivers, Tapajós and Amazonas, which don't mix. Because of this, one side of the island has brown water, and the other side is bright blue. You can see from my pictures the huge difference in the water.
The size and shape of Alter do Chao differs hugely at different times of year, as the rivers rise and fall. In our kayak trip we came across the roofs of bars and restaurants. When we were there, only the thatched tops were visible, and as we got closer we found that refrigerators and other appliances had been secured to the ceiling with rope! Later in the year, there would be a stretch of beach here, and the these bars would be full of tourists sipping caipirinhas and eating fish.
In Alter do Chao I also discovered the key to the mystery of blonde leg hair. You see, ever since I'd arrived in Manaus, I'd noticed a lot of women in this region had dark colouring, but blonde arm and leg hairs. I'd found this odd, but of course – it's not something you can ask a stranger about. In Alter do Chao we came across numerous women on the beach covering themselves with a kind of white cream and laying in the sun for a while, before washing it off in the water.
Seemed more complicated than waxing or shaving to me, but oh well… each to their own…

Carlos was the kind of guy who laughed at you when you make a mistake, and this drives me crazy. Don't patronize me you jerk… it's your freaking language, of COURSE you speak it better than me! Arrgghh! I stopped trying altogether because of the supreme irritation I felt every time he chuckled at my errors. And of course, with Carlos around, I didn't HAVE to speak Portuguese. I make him translate for me everywhere, sending him to buy beers or speak to the staff when necessary. My Portuguese was not coming along at all, and I hadn't even started looking at the book Suelem had lent me.
It was ok; I still had plenty of time…
The next day we pulled into Santarem, and the 3 of us caught a bus to Alter do Chao, which is only about an hour away. We found ourselves a cheap hotel where we all shared a room, and changed immediately into beach gear.
Alter do Chao was beautiful! In fact, in 2009 it was chosen by English newspaper The Guardian as the most beautiful freshwater beach in the world. The town was tiny, and the beaches were lovely. It was already afternoon so we didn't do much on the first day, just ate a fish lunch on the beach (yep… I had already decided that I was going to at least start eating fish), and then had some caipirinhas in the square. Actually, this was my first ever caipirinha – a typical Brazilian cocktail made from cachaça, lime, and sugar.
Delicious. I saw more of these caipirinhas in my future.

The food was all about the red meat. We were served a kind of stew with meat and vegetables, and the best I could do was pick the meat out and put it on Carlos's plate. Of course, the liquid was all meaty, and the vegetable were cooked in the juice of the meat, but as they say – beggars can't be choosers. So mostly I ate bread, rice and some meat-soaked vegetables.
Yes, my vegetarianism was looking precarious here in Brazil. This was not a veggie-friendly country right here.
The second day on the boat was a little quieter than the second, the novelty having worn off somewhat. I did a bit of reading, and drank considerably less. We saw a couple of dolphins that day, and Carlos explained the differences to me between the pink and grey dolphins. The pink dolphin's dorsal fin is shaped like a hump rather than wave, and they tend to be less playful than grey dolphins. In fact, we saw a number of times in the journey that grey dolphins often jump right out of the water, whereas pink dolphins barely show their fin as they leave and reenter the river.
We met a friendly Spanish guy named Juan on the boat who started hanging out with us. This didn't help my Portuguese, of course, since Carlos started speaking Spanish too. But actually, Carlos was not proving particularly useful to the development of my Portuguese. In fact, he was positively detrimental.

I wanted to go upstairs and sleep on the top deck, but I had no mattress, sleeping bag, pillow or ANYTHING, and apart from that they'd washed the floors and it was all wet up there.
I looked for another place to hang my hammock but the place was packed – there was nowhere else.
I eventually tried to curl up on the floor on top of my backpack but it was the most uncomfortable thing EVER. Carlos awoke to the sound of me whining and crying in frustration, swapped hammocks with me, and went back to sleep. The woman in his face didn't seem to bother him at all!
The next morning when I awoke, the woman on top of me had either left the boat or moved her hammock. Not surprising really, given my incessant complaining and the elbows to her back!
The boat food was pretty bad. It was around this time that I'd started rethinking my vegetarianism. Several times in Manaus I'd found myself with nothing to eat but fish, rice, beans and salad. I know, rice beans and salad sounds like reasonable vegetarian food, but know this… beans in Brazil are cooked with big chunks of fatty red meat, and the 'salad' in and around Manaus consisted of slices of raw tomato and onion. I don't even like raw tomato that much, and let's face it… who loves big chunks of raw onion??
And now, on the boat, the only meal that was vegetarian was the breakfast. Bread and coffee. I guess I'd been prepared to eat fish, but how stupid I had been, imagining there would be fish on the boat!

The first thing to go sour for me was the music. The 80s music was fun until we discovered that it was one of only two CDs on the boat, and the bartender switched back and forth between that and a forró CD, which was pretty bad even BEFORE I heard it 600 times. After 24 hours on the boat, I never wanted to hear Marika or Belinda Carlisle again.
The next thing was the beer. After the cold ones ran out, they began to be kind of… nearly cold. I really, REALLY don't like warm beer, particularly when it's overpriced as well.
Still, we got by, even danced a few forró tunes. Until the nighttime.
Carlos and I went to sleep quite early (having been drinking in the sun all day), and I passed out like a dead person. However, at 2am I awoke and discovered why people advised 'hang your hammock high' – there was a woman in the hammock above me which was about 3 inches from my face. I couldn't move or roll over without shoving her in the back with my shoulder or elbow! It was awful, I was so uncomfortable, and knew I wouldn't be able to sleep like that. I'm a little claustrophobic at the best of times, and this just wouldn't work.
I tried to wake Carlos up hoping he would help me but he was pretty insistent in staying asleep.
Right then – I rolled out of my hammock (elbow, shoulder, knee to the woman's back) and started looking around for an alternative arrangement.

The boat trip got off to a great start. We boarded at 10am, hung our hammocks on the sleeping deck downstairs, and went straight up to the top deck. A fantastic 80s CD was playing loudly, with such wonders as Rick Astley, Pet Shop Boys and Kylie Minogue. Well… there was nothing to do but order a cold beer right away.
As they say, it was 5pm somewhere in the world! (Afghanistan, actually – I looked it up).
Carlos and I put our feet up, popped a couple of cold ones open, and covered ourselves in sunscreen. We had 2 full days on the boat to Santarem, at which point we planned to get off, spend a few days in Alter do Chao ('Caribbean of the Amazonas', the propaganda said), and then continue down the river for another two days to Belem. Until then, of course, I planned to hang out in the sun, work on my tan, learn some Portuguese, drink some beer, and see some river dolphins.
As the boat left, I was filled with an excitement I hadn't felt in a while. I'd really been looking forward to this trip for a long time. Years in fact, since a couple of my friends had done a similar trip through Brazil and told me about it! The music was great, the beer was cold, the company was good, and sleeping in hammocks was awesome..
Little did I know that ALL of this would change in the next few days.

Severe Weather Coverage Policy
How we approach covering threatening weather in our viewing area.
Every person and location in our viewing area matters to us, whether its 3AM or 3PM. Our commitment to you is that if the weather threatens in your location, we're tracking it. Morning, noon or night we are here to keep you ahead of the storm. We come in early and we stasylate if need be and we don't take weekends off, even in the morning.
At the same time, we do understand that you come to us to watch high quality programming and can be frustrated when your program is interupted for coveage of ongoing severe weather that isn't barreling down on your house. We hope that you understand for the people with potentially life threatening weather approaching we are providing useful, important information that is integral to the decision making process.
In the map on the left hand side, you see three areas defined in southern Colorado. In general, these coincide with the population centers in our viewing area.
Tier System
Area I includes the greater Colorado Springs and Pueblo metros, the greater Front Range and the highway 50 corridor from Canon City to La Junta in a 20 mile wide swath.
Area II includes the remainder of our defined television market.
Area III includes fringe areas that do get our television signal and are areas where a large number of people travel from to work and or shop in Colorado Springs or the Pikes Peak Region.
Progam Cut-in Policy
These three areas are used as an approximation to population maximums and serve as a basis for the guidelines of our severe weather coverage policy, particularly in regards to potentially tornadic thunderstorms. A thunderstorm producing a tornado in area I had a much higer likelyhood of hitting a building and possibly injuring occupants than it does in area II or area III. As a result, a tornado warning for Area I will prompt us to interput regular programming with continuous coverage on television and on radio. Usually in these scenarios, information is coming in so fast due to the amount of people that see the tornado or funnel cloud or are affected by the storm that its prudent for us to stay on the air just to relay information from you or the authorities, let alone tracking the storm itself.
Our policy for Area II is to cut-in each commercial break unless the storm is in a very sparsely populated area, like over Pinon Canyon in northern Las Animas County. We will likely stay on the air with continuous coverage if the tornado has been spotted on the ground or if the storm is approaching a community. No two weather situations are the same and our policy does contain built in flexibility for the on-duty STORMTRACKER to increase or decrease coverage as needed.
A thunderstorm producing a tornado in Area III is treated differently from the other two areas as this techinically is not our home television market. As a result, not all residents can adequately obtain our television signal. However, some residents living on certain hills can only get Colorado Spgrings stations and not the television signals out of Denver. If a tornado is near I25 or highway 83 or is moving toward our area we'll likely do frequent updates during commercial breaks.
Weather Crawl Policy
As we realize this is the easiest way to get continuous information out with least impact on programming, almost all severe weather alerts will warrant a constant crawl or display of the map containing radar and warning information at the bottom of the screen. This system automatically updates warning information from the National Weather Service and will also be supplemented by additional information from us in the office.

National delegates use OLIS to interact with the Secretariat in preparation for Committee meetings.
The success the Committee Information Service has achieved is reflected in the results of a recent survey of national officials who reported: "OLIS is useful for my work" (98% of responses) and "It facilitates my interaction with the OECD" (90% of responses). Officials who don't use OLIS therefore miss out on access to a unique information resource that can only add value to their national policy work.

NIBIN Program - How it Works?
The NIBIN Program automates ballistics evaluations and provides actionable investigative leads in a timely manner. NIBIN is the only interstate automated ballistic imaging network in operation in the United States and is available to most major population centers in the United States.
Prior to the NIBIN Program, firearms examiners performed this process manually which was extremely labor intensive. To use NIBIN, firearms examiners or technicians enter cartridge casing evidence into the Integrated Ballistic Identification System. These images are correlated against the database. Law enforcement can search against evidence from their jurisdiction, neighboring ones, and others across the country. This program is one investigative tool accessed by law enforcement that allows each of us to share information and cooperation easily making all of us more effective in closing cases.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by lurker, Dec 16, 2006.
I think they move the stoolies to a team on the west coast. Maybe Portland.
He's certainly a man with a lot of failings, but for myself, and probably a lot of people in the Pistons nation, he is a hero. He's made mistakes, but none as egregious as Jordan's. It's all a matter of who is telling the story, and of course, the victors write history.
It's definitely an agree to disagree thing.
Since when was Zeke the thug? Just because he was the ring leader of the most villified championship team in NBA history doesn't make him a thug. If Pistons were thugs, it's because that's what's the league demanded to be champion. It was a right of passage going from being playoff losers to champions. All softness had to be removed. Fear and intimidation had to be conquered. Result...you become the intimidator.
Melo got 15 games
Where did you find that?
Anthony suspended 15 games, no suspension for Thomas - Wire Services - NBA - MSNBC.com
All I had to do was turn on Jim Rome. The coaches weren't penalized. But the teams were fined $0.5Mil. WOW!
Robinson went after JR Smith, who was the one who was fouled. They should not have gotten the same number of suspensions. Robinson should have gotten 15, at least as many as Carmelo. It ended up that the players on the team that started everything, Collins and Robinson, were penalized less than the Nuggets. The suspensions should have been more equal. Unfortunately, the Knicks won't be affected nearly as much as Denver, and they are more at fault. It was just a flagrant foul till Nate jumped Smith. Nate should have gotten at least as much punishment as Melo.
Nate escalated it and should have gotten more than JR.
I have been annoyed since last year when Skiles was trash talking Rip during a game.. Stern needs the shut the F up rule for opposing coaches who needle the other players during the game. Trash talking coaches are nothing but trouble.
Definitely a good rule if it isn't on the books already. And if it is, then it needs some teeth.
I agree with this, definitely. Karl shouldn't be using his players to settle his pissing match with Zeke. The NC-brotherhood thing, to me, is a little bit much. Brown probably already called Karl and sent him an extra Xmas gift. Go Blue!
Thoughts on the NBA Fines handed out today - Blog Maverick
AKA hitting the nail on the head.
Seems mighty funny no one wanted to talk about Jordan's heavy gambling problem. I find it hard to believe he was not beting on games. Seem's like Zeke wears out his welcome where ever he goes but he still is a Piston.
I don't think MJ was betting on games. I think the gambling was a by-product of his competitive nature, not a way to make money. Most of these guys gamble to look like a big shot at the casino or in MJ's case, to assert his dominance over another man. That's why he is so into the golf gambling.
I don't know about that. If MJ can blow 20K on a couple of games of Horse with RIP and then demand they keep playing until he wins his money back then the guy can be persuaded to bet on a game of two.
The way I saw it, Robinson was running his mouth, but Smith decided his best bet was tackling a 5'6" guy into the crowd.
Did J.R. Smith flop on that foul? It looks like he took a dive. Who was it again that threw the punch? I didn't know that Zeke played for the Nuggets! Did Karl trade for him. Hard foul. Heck I have seen Swish Cash give out harder fouls than that and not even get called on it.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. – The Siena baseball team was able to come out of the loser's bracket of the 2014 MAAC Baseball Championship and win four games in a little over 30 hours to secure the conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament, capped with a 5-1 win over Canisius Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood, N.J. The Saints (26-31) will learn their regional opponent and destination on Monday at noon when the NCAA officially releases this year's tournament field live on ESPNU.
For Canisius (40-16), Sunday marks the second time in the last three years where the program has lost both games in the championship round of the double-elimination tournament The Griffs, who started the day with the nation's longest winning streak with 18-straight wins, saw that come to an end when Siena scored five times in the eighth winning to record a 6-5 victory, forcing the winner-take-all final game. Canisius pounded out nine hits in the game two loss, but the Blue and Gold left 11 runners on base and committed two early errors that allowed the Saints to jump out to an early 1-0 lead.
Siena added a pair of runs in the third on back-to-back doubles by Justin Esquerra and John Rooney. Rooney's double, his ninth of the season, allowed Esquerra and Mike Allen to score to give the Saints a 3-0 cushion. The Griffs cut the Saints' hold to 3-1 in the top-half of the sixth. Senior Jimmy Luppens started the frame off with a double to right center and he later advanced to third on a groundout by junior Connor Panas. After a Siena pitching change that saw starter Taylor Ahearn head to the dugout, Luppens raced home on a wild pitch by reliever Matt Quintana. Canisius had two runners on with two outs in the sixth, but Quintana worked himself out of that jam by inducing a ground ball out to end the Blue and Gold's threat.
Siena regained a three-run lead in the home-half of the sixth on a RBI-single to left by MAAC Rookie of the Year Dan Swain. Canisius would leave the bases loaded in the top of the seventh, their best chance to score runs late in the game. The Saints added an insurance run in the eighth on a sacrifice fly by Dave Hoffman to make the score 5-1.
Three Siena pitchers gave up just one run and scattered nine hits in the second game, with Ahearn earning the win to move to 2-2 on the season. Canisius starter Rohn Pierce went the distance for the Griffs. He allowed five runs, four earned, on 11 hits to go with two strikeouts in the loss. His record drops to 11-3 on the season.
Sophomore Anthony Massicci had three hits in the losing effort for Canisius, which included a double. Senior Jose Torralba and Luppens also had two-base hits in the game for the Griffs, while Siena's Vincent Citro went 3-for-4 with a run scored in the winning cause for the Saints.
Massicci (9-for-15, six runs scored) and Luppens (7-for-15, .600 OBP) earned All-Tournament Team honors.
Notes: The Griffs posted 40 wins for the third time in program history. Marist in 2002 is the only other MAAC team to have 40 wins in a season... Canisius played in the championship round for the fifth time in six years… Canisius and Siena met in the MAAC Championship for the fourth time in the last seven years… Canisius was swept in a doubleheader for just the second time this season… Senior Shane Zimmer worked a walk in the opener and matched Kevin Mahoney for most in a career (116)… Luppens was hit by a pitch twice in the opener and broke the program record with 25 HBP on the season.

text: I am looking for a new sofa and am bewildered by upholstery. What do people look for in a sofa? Prices range from $500 to $5,000 in the stores. I found a Rowe sofa that I liked for $800 with really cool fabric choices but then I checked reviews on line that noted the cushions started to deteriorate after 3 years. Are the $3k models really that much better? Also, I have a hand me down boring beige sofa now. I am thinking about something with more pow but would you get tired of that pretty quickly?
