Hedge funds' hefty management fees tend to come with an implicit promise: We're worth the extra cost. But the strategies some are calling the "poor man's hedge fund" lately have been beating the average hedge fund at a far lower cost, and doing it by ripping off famous fund managers' stock picks. The copycats—a pair of year-old exchange-traded funds—are raising a good question: Are hedge funds really worth it?
But also: Are these ETF knockoffs worth it?

Compare that with the nearly 11% return for the Standard & Poor's 500 and the more-than-5% return of equity hedge funds tracked by Hedge Fund Research.
Hedge-fund stock picks predictably tend to plunge during bear markets: The most heavily owned picks fell 47% in a single quarter during the financial crisis, according to Goldman Sachs' equity strategists. But they're often a great bet when bulls are running: Goldman's research suggests a staggering 373% return for any investor assiduous enough to have owned all those stocks heavily favored by hedge funds since 2001.
GIMMICK OR NOT, the question these ETFs raise is the right one: Just what is the real source of hedge-fund returns? Mazin Jadallah, manager of the AlphaClone fund, argues plain old stock-picking—not shorting stocks or other complex strategies talked up by pricey fund managers—ultimately drives performance. "If you don't have a good short story, it's tough to do the '20' part of 'two and twenty,' " he argues. An expensive fund manager has to come up with a rationale of one sort or another. It's been four years since the average equity-focused hedge fund beat the stock market. Over time, high fees, human error, and the sheer difficulty of beating the market add up.
The lesson of simplicity also applies within the ETF market, however. The AlphaClone and Global X ETFs charge 0.95% and 0.75%, respectively, for returns that, in their short history, aren't so different from the SPDR S&P 500 SPY 0.22896672675013396% SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust U.S.: NYSE Arca 205.74 0.47 0.22896672675013396% /Date(1427490000338-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 103676190 AFTER HOURS 205.85 0.11 0.053465539029843495% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap N/A Dividend Yield 1.8096821230679498% Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » ETF (SPY) and more-concentrated portfolios. The performance edge of the Global X fund—it's ahead 22% year-to-date—might turn around quickly in a bear market, since there's no hedge. The costlier AlphaClone fund is built to shift half its portfolio to an inverse ETF when the S&P 500 ends a month at a level below its 200-day moving average. So if you're sold on the idea, this one at least might protect you from a steep selloff.
A worrywart investor might instead simply buy the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, which charges a negligible 0.09%, and take a cue from AlphaClone: Cut back your stock-market exposure when the technical signals warrant. In that case, you wouldn't even need a view on the merits of hedge-fund stock-picking, and you'd be taking your investing future into your own hands.

Bula. Vinaka vakalevu to all the "family" at Bedarra Beach Inn for an enjoyable few days stay in February. Barbara and I really enjoyed ourselves so much. We would recommend Beddarra to anyone. We are already missing the friendship, kava and beautiful food. Our stay was fantastic and relaxing, but far too short. We will remember it always. All the best. Greg & Barbara
Thankyou for a wonderful couple of weeks on the coral coast, visiting bounty island was amazing and I highly recommend it. Thanks to all the staff at the inn who were never too busy to take a moment out to offer some help and to the great band who gave us a truly memorable farewell song.
Thank you for a wonderful relaxing stay. The Staff were just the happiest. The room was clean and comfortable, the food was awesome. We will recommend Bedarra to anyone wanting a relaxing time in Fiji. Thank you to Tazmin, sorry we didn't see you before we left.
Bula and vinaka vakalevu to ALL the staff at Bedarra Inn for a beautiful and relaxing stay. It was great to be back in Fiji after 20 odd years .... your warmth matched the weather, simply beautiful. I'm missing the place already.
Sally M xx

To the Bedarra Staff and Management,
Thank you for looking after Lance and myself in Dec 07. The staff were friendly and the food excellent. We were pre-booked at a hotel down the road. We visited your hotel to dine and utilise your internet facilities. We valued the internet access as it allowed effective communications back to Head Office and so made our work at Sigatoka Sub Station a lot easier.
I will be looking to stay at your hotel in the future.

Maytag Dryer Model #MDG5806AWW Not Drying Completely
I hope I am in the correct forum. If not, could someone be so kind as to direct me to a forum that is appropriate for my question? Thank you.
Maytag Dryer Model #MDG5806AWW
A week ago I noticed I had to start the dryer again for another drying cycle as the loads were coming out damp.
I immediately thought it was the washer (matching) not spinning the clothes enough.
It turned out to be the dryer so I started Googling and trouble-shooting the problem.
Every site I went to suggested removing the front of the dryer to get to the underside of the front lint filter.
I did that.
I unplugged the dryer. Pried up lid then removed front.
I used a brush to remove lint that was stuck anywhere, then a vacuum to remove all the loose lint.
I then went to the back of the dryer and removed the hose leading outside.
I cleaned out the hose very well of all lint.
I put my hand (and flashlight) into the the back of the dryer where the silver coil hose, leading outside, attaches.
I made sure there was nothing clogging that area.
I went outside and double-checked the vent, the flaps to the vent.
I finally got to try the dryer this morning and still, not enough heat to dry the clothes completely on the cycle I had always dried the clothes. I ended up having to turn the dryer on again for another 20 minutes.
Had I not just paid for a new water heater (ours went out after 16 years two weeks ago) and depleted the little savings we had, I would have called a Maytag repair person by now.
Not wanting to take out a small loan just to repair the dryer, would anyone know or have an idea of what the trouble could be?
Thanks so much in advance for any help!
How long is the exhaust ducting from the wall to the flapper outside? The entire path of it must be checked and cleaned if necessary ... not just the flex-duct between the dryer and wall, and the flapper at the end outside.
Also make sure the flex-duct is short and straight as possible, not kinked, or sharply obstructed.
To confirm whether the dryer is heating to proper temperature:
1) Disconnect the duct from the back of it.
2) Set it on the TIMED cycle (set at least 30 mins) and HIGH temperature.
3) Let it run for a few mins to get fully heated.
4) Check the exhaust air temp with an instant-read kitchen thermometer. It'll vary between a maximum and minimum reading as the burner cycles on/off to maintain a target operating heat. Should run between about 145F to 155F at max and drop to maybe 125F to 120F minimum.
This is a gas unit. If there is a problem, could be a flaky gas valve or a bad flame sensor, among other things.
Ive had great service from all my Maytag gas dryers. I think the only things I have ever had fail other than maybe a drum bearing is the gas valve solenoid coils. They tend to get weak over the years and usually will work fine when the cycle starts but get weak and fail before the load is done.
You are in good hands with Dadoes for diagnostics. Dont fear working on it yourself, these machines are easy to work on.
dadoes & fordtech
Thank you both for such quick responses. I appreciate it so very much!
I have cleaned out the entire path and even after disconnecting that silver coil (vacuumed inside the coil also) flex duct I looked inside the hole in the back of the dryer with a flashlight to make sure there wasn't any lint at all.
I ended up vacuuming every square inch of the inside after taking off the front panel.
That's why I ended up feeling so overwhelmed.....each site told me the lint in any of areas could be causing the problem and once the lint was removed the problem should be solved.....it isn't. :(
The hole leading outdoors from the dryer is straight. I have less than 2 feet of coil. I wouldn't have that much but when we got the dryer I wanted some space between dryer and back wall for ventilation.
I will go get the kitchen thermometer and test now.
I am sure I will be back. :)
I initially bought this, my first Maytag, 6 years ago because I needed large and the fantastic reviews.
I am hoping if I need a part it won't be too expensive (gas valve solenoid, flaky gas valve or a bad flame sensor). I really love my dryer.
Again, thank you both so very much!

Tokyo, 103-0002
Phone: (81) 3 5645 3311

Outdoor Activities
»Transportation Museum
Various travel modes are displayed, including steam locomotives, bicycles, and even a mock-up of a Japan Air Lines passenger cabin. Children will enjoy the experience of being a "conductor" on Japan Railways' Yamanote circle route. Horse-drawn carriages, coal-powered taxis and steel-wheeled cycles are just a few of the treats in store here. Many displays are "hands on" items. On the fourth floor, snacks can be eaten in a train dining-car.
»Tortoise-shell Work Museum
The use of tortoise-shell to make elaborate hair ornaments reached a zenith during Tokyo's Edo Period (pre-1868). This precious material has also been incorporated into some of the items in the Shoso-in treasures, a collection which is exhibited in the city of Nara each autumn. Displays at this Yokoami museum include craftsmen's tools which have been used to produce a variety of accessories such as brooches and necklaces.
»Tabi Museum
Historically worn outdoors and crafted in leather, "tabi" are traditional pieces of Japanese footwear. Cotton tabi have been made for indoor use and worn with formal Japanese dress since the Tokugawa Era. Usually men wear black and women wear white. Amongst other exhibits in this small specialty museum are tabi of sumo wrestlers including a pair belonging to the American champion, Konishiki.
»Safe and Key Museum
This is a small museum with a collection that includes six big safes! Examples of both antique and contemporary Japanese locks and keys are also on display. Traditional single-action locks on Japanese chests are called omotejo. Keys are needed only when unlocking these chests because of the jamb-plate and button system that is incorporated into the material of the chest itself. This traditional method of construction dates to late 17th century.
»Communications Museum
This is the museum to visit if you are fascinated by communications. Exhibits include a huge number of postage stamps and displays related to telephone, telegraph, and more recent telecommunications technologies. Numerous Japanese companies have contributed to this museum to enable the visitor to learn more about the country's sophisticated technology.
»Tokyo Great Tours
At Tokyo Great Tours, you can choose from three kinds of tours: kayaking, running, or cycling. If you can't speak Japanese, no problem. Most staff can speak English, so you will be able to have a good time with them. If you wish to learn more about tours, please go to their website. Have you ever joined such a unique tour? If not, this is a good opportunity.
»Ace World Bag Museum
This specialty collection gives us a historical overview of luggage and other paraphernalia carried by the traveler. From steamer trunks used on extended ocean voyages to modern-day carry-on bags for the jet traveler, it is all here. Categorized by brand names and the manufacturer's country, there are both expensive pieces made from animal skin and the more utilitarian synthetic items. Admission: Free
»Meiji University Archaeological Museum
The largest room in the museum concentrates on Japanese artifacts. China is also well represented in a separate section where there are statues from the Han and Tang dynasties. Many pieces from the collection are the result of Meiji University's active on-site excavation programs both in Japan and overseas. Admission is free.
»Bridgestone Museum of Art
Visit the Bridgestone for an overview of the largely Paris School of 19th century impressionist-style art. Featured are Picasso, Monet, Renoir and Manet. The Japanese are represented by Takaji Fujishima and Shigeru Aoki. The two-floor exhibit space holds a permanent collection which also contains artifacts from classical Rome (metal), Greece (pottery pieces) and ancient Egypt (sculpture). See website for visitor info and event calendar. Admission: JPY500
»Drum Museum
Acoustics and aesthetics team up at this museum where there is the opportunity to beat on drums from several countries. Drums have been used in Japan to emit sound to expel demons and evilness. Indeed, as a symbol of Shinto shrines, drums are considered sacred. Drum adornment is an art form, and the breadth of the collection here is impressive. However some of the instruments are fragile and are off limits.
»Traditional Wood Sculpture Museum
Here you can learn the history behind the building decorations and wood sculptures that are found on Tokyo's temples and shrines. As city buildings were often the victims of fires, skilled carpenters were always in demand. Moreover, during the Edo Period, pre-1868 Tokyo, carpenters were the first tradesmen to organize themselves into a collective body called Taishi-ko whose purpose was to obtain wage increases. The work of these skilled craftsmen is well displayed here. Admission: Free
»The Ueno Royal Museum
The Ueno Royal Museum houses artworks of Japanese and international artistes. Sculptures, sketches, photography and paintings handling various culture-specific themes are displayed during the museum's exhibitions. The premises are wheelchair accessible, and there is a small coffee shop where visitors can stop for a cup of beverage and some snacks. Admission charges are different for every exhibition.

The "Kick the Bucket" achievement on Guitar Hero II was pretty momentous.
Halo 3 on Legendary means a lot to me. It isn't a difficult achievement, but it represents six long years of salivating over Halo plot speculation and mired endings.
The ridiculous Dead Rising achievement for killing Willamette's population in undead was amazing, also.

THE ITER FUSION REACTOR AND ITS ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FUSION POWER PLANT Adam McLean1 Energy from nuclear fusion is the future source of sustained, full life-cycle environmentally benign, intrinsically safe, base-load power production. The nuclear fusion process powers our sun, innumerable other stars in the sky, and some day, it will power the Earth, its cities and our homes. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, ITER, represents the next step toward fulfilling that promise. ITER will be a test bed for key steppingstones toward engineering feasibility of a demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO) in a single experimental step. It will establish the physics basis for steady state Tokamak magnetic containment fusion reactors to follow it, exploring ion temperature, plasma density and containment time regimes beyond the breakeven power condition, and culminating in experimental fusion self-ignition. Motivation for development of fusion for power degrees. Fuel is virtually unlimited, available to all generation is ample. The world is in dire need of a nations.

Controlled fusion of the IAEA. Engineering Design Activities (EDA) commenced in 1992 and finished in 1998 resulting in a complete design. Financial constraints demanded a reduced-cost approach, though, and a second EDA period of 1999-2001 completed the current ITER-FEAT (Fusion Energy Amplifier Tokamak) design (Figure 2). With a final design accepted, the process of site selection is now underway, with Canada (Clarington), France (Cadarache), Spain, and Japan (Aomori and Ibaraki) under consideration. The choice for the preferred site is expected in June, 2002, with a final agreement set for December, 2002. In 2003, a 10- year construction period will begin, with a 4-phased operation schedule projected for 2012-2032, and decommissioning to follow. Progress with ITER is FIGURE 4: Progress in fusion power output has hoped to lead to DEMO in the early 2030's, and been faster than memory chip bit density (6). finally, a fusion power plant in by 2050 (Figure 3). in magnetic confinement has stimulated a 100,000x (105) increase in the product of plasma density, temperature and confinement time achieved (known as the Lawson Criterion), and an even more impressive 100,000,000x (108) increase in fusion power production in the same period. ITER has been designed to continue this trend, able to sustain a Q > 5 for period of up to 300 seconds, and a Q > 10 for periods of at least 10 seconds (Figure 5). More precisely, for high power pulses, ITER will be capable of creating 410 MWth of fusion energy from 40 MW of heating power. Once construction of ITER is complete, four FIGURE 3: The way toward fusion power (5). distinct operational phases will commence. The pumping) and establishment of a reference plasma (density and temperature profiles, divertor shaping, onset of edge localized modes) in steady- state operation will be made. The third phase, low duty DT, will see development of high Q (up to 10) and power (up to 500 MW) for increasing pulse lengths. At the end of this three year period, testing of DEMO-relevant test blanket modules will begin, as well as confidence in the capabilities of the remote manipulation system. In the final and longest phase, improvement in high duty DT fuelled fusion burn performance will be the focus. Testing of DEMO FIGURE 5: Progress toward fusion as an electric power source. components and advanced materials with higher neutron first will be a three year period seeing only fluences and exposure durations will be possible, as Hydrogen fuel at DT fusion relevant temperatures. well as exploration of advanced modes of plasma An H-plasma allows initiation, and full operation well beyond those within reach of current commissioning of the tokamaks over 45 diagnostics devices.

D-T Next, one year of operation with pure Deuterium fuel will see production of neutrons and limited T from DD fusion reactions (Table 1). The power D-3He produced will remain low, though, as the reaction 1.E-22 Reaction rate (m^3/s) p-11B T-T rate profile for DD fusion is much lower than that of DT (~100x less at 10keV or approximately 100 million degrees - see Figure 6).

With these improvements, it is hoped that ITER will also allow for the possibility of reaching a more important goal, one that will be essential for a fusion power plant. For a deuterium-tritium plasma, once heating of alpha particles (the Helium nuclei product of fusion), not by external input but by the fusion process itself, is equal to the heat loss through the vessel walls and divertor, the plasma becomes self-sustaining and is said to be ignited, or burning. External heating can be turned off, and the plasma will continue to exist and induce fusion. With no heating (energy input), the Q factor ratio tends to infinity and the fusion process is controlled in steady state only by the fuelling rate to the torus. TABLE 1: Common fusion reactions (7).

Money, Power, Respect: 10 Dope Examples of Hip Hop's "Scarface" Obsession
The iconic Brian De Palma–directed 1983 film Scarface is hitting Blu-ray Sept. 6 and last night, on August 23, there was a Hollywood soiree to celebrate the moment and the movie's legacy. The event featured a performance by ATL rapper–actor Ludacris. But this is far from the first time that hip hop and Scarface have crossed paths. The over-the-top opulence, rags-to-riches plot line and ruthless "us against them" mindset featured in the film have influenced hip hop to its core, and rappers have made no secret of that. Click on to see 10 examples of hip hop being influenced by Scarface.

The mystery with Sasuke's son was finally answered in here, huh? Well, I'm sure glad that he didn't beget any child from Karin or else it'll be horrendous!
One thing though, doesn't Itachi know that Hinata gave birth to their twins? It would be obvious that she'd be pregnant when she lived with them (Itachi and Sakura) right? But too bad Hinata chose to die than live for her sons...
Nice one...I'm glad both Kioshi and Kiyoshi are finally together again...

I don't know about you, but I am constantly thinking about my master plan. So, this tote, by Paper Jam Press is absolutely perfect for me. (Also available: Everyday I'm Hustling.)
What started with a few posters has turned into a small empire; wall decals, temporary tattoos and now bags. Well done, Arianna!
This flat, reusable water bottle made me look: It's memobottle, a slimline, BPA free, dishwasher-friendly, reusable bottle that resembles the size and shape of pieces of paper.

Did you ever wonder how to best remove a Tattly Temporary Tattoo? Nic and Ace created the above video to show just that. Leave it to my team to turn something as seemingly boring as an instructional video into something seriously fun. They are the best!

This little family is currently spending a week in the Northfork, enjoying the last week before school starts again. I've reconnected with my younger self and looked up some papier-mâché projects to do with my 8 year old, Ella. Here are some of my favorite finds:

My studiomate Wesley Verhoeve launched a fantastic new project called One of Many. Over the next few months, Wesley will travel to 12 cities across the US and over the course of a week immerse himself in their creative communities. The results are beautiful essays with stunning portrait photography and personal stories. Check out Charleston.
Wesley, who is the most outgoing person I have ever met, can strike up a conversation with anyone. When visiting these cities, he will be seeking out designers, chefs, woodworkers, farmers, engineers, writers, coffee brewers and anyone else making something that moves people.
Wesley believes that being a small business owner or a creative independent is exhilarating, but it can also be quite lonely and stressful. With One of Many Wesley wants to remind us that we are not alone. We are part of a growing movement. We are one of many.

Team Tattly partnered with North American Bear on tattoable dolls, called Cutie Tattootie. Seriously adorable, right. (Not to mention the girl!) The fox comes with 12 Tattly tattoos that the kid can either apply on themselves or on the doll. Put the doll in the washer and the tattoos disappear. Fun, right?
The new Nomiku Sous Vide immersion circulator looks fantastic. If you like to be a nerd, even in the kitchen, Nomiku is for you.

I blogged about the beautiful Swing Bin in February of 2010. At the time, it was just a concept, and now, with this Kickstarter campaign, we are all one step closer to owning our own. The Swing Bin is so sculptural that at first glance you might not notice that it is a waste bin. Its diagonal opening has been dramatically cut with a wooden lid, a lid that swings and tilts.
I am so totally supporting Shigeichiro Takeuchi's Kickstarter campaign. You?

We all know by now Marc Trestman got word that he would be the Bears' 14th head coach in the wee hours of his 56th birthday, January 16th, 2013.
The Bears began last season against an AFC team – Cincinnati Bengals – with a very, very good record against the pass and less distinguished against the run.
The curious pregame decision by the Bears' staff to keep veteran wide receiver/kick returner candidate Michael Spurlock inactive could've possibly done more to hurt than help him.
Marc Trestman and staff have typically held off on announcing lineup changes each week, even in preseason, until the final day or two before each game.

Jim Atchison
|Jim Atchison
|Candidate for
Mississippi State House, District 116
|Political party
|Real Estate
|Campaign Website
Atchison served in the Airforce, working in the intensive care unit as a medic on the open heart surgery team. In the early 1990s, he served as a Harrison county deputy. Beginning in 1993, Atchison began a career in real estate. In 1996, he opened a branch office for a major real estate agency, operating it until 1999. In 1999, he started a RE/MAX office in Biloxi. He is married to his wife, Rebecca. They have four children.[2]
Campaign themes
Atchison's 2011 special election campaign site emphasizes several key policy positions and campaign themes:
- Economy: "I believe that the key to our economic recovery is through small business and local jobs, not big government expansion and over regulation. Small businesses employ local workers and provide revenue to our cities, counties and state. Federal government intervention and stimulus spending are simply increasing our deficit..."
- Education: "Education is the cornerstone to the success of a community, state or nation. Although I am a small business owner and not a teacher, I believe that the success of our community and state is directly tied to education...We are spending more on education today than at any time in our history yet our teachers are still taking money out of their own pockets to provide the basic necessities they require in their classrooms."
- Healthcare/Obamacare: "Aside from being unconstitutional, I don't believe our government can effectively run our health care system. Health care needs and options should be decided by the patient and physician not by the Federal government..."
- Immigration: "Legal immigration is what makes the United States the greatest country in the world. I fully support legal immigration but do not support illegal immigration or benefits for illegal immigrants. The lax policies of our Federal government and the lack of responsibility in protecting our borders make it easier to cross the border illegally than to fly on a commercial airliner legally. As your Representative in Jackson I will fight against businesses who hire illegal workers while law abiding business owners find it difficult or impossible to compete."
- Insurance: "The cost of homeowner's insurance on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is the single biggest factor that is keeping South Mississippi from rebuilding and growing after Hurricane Katrina. Until we find affordable solutions to the insurance crisis in Mississippi, homeownership will never be truly affordable. In many cases, homeowner's premiums are nearly as high as the mortgage payment on their homes."
- Second Amendment: "As a former Harrison County Sheriff's Deputy and Air Force Veteran, I fully support the second amendment and the individual right to keep and bear arms."
Atchison and Casey Eure (R) garnered the most votes in the January 11, 2011 special election to Mississippi House of Representatives District 116. The proceeded to a run-off, but Atchison was defeated.[3][4][5]

In the interest of getting all supposedly relevant information out there for the public to see, the New York Times amassed an extraordinary array of journalistic resources — three reporters, three who "contributed reporting," and two others who "contributed research" — to what they must have thought was an important, underappreciated element of the saga which ended with the brutal ambush murders of NYPD Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu in December.
The three reporters — Kim Barker, Mosi Secret and Richard Fausset — composed roughly 2,500 words as a result of that eight-person effort. Their resulting work was posted online on Friday and appeared on the front page of the paper's January 3 New York Region and National print editions (above the fold, top right). Their mission was to sympathetically portray cop-killer Ismaaiyl Brinsley, which was bad enough. But their ultimate objective, which I'm sure was achieved in the minds of many fever-swamp liberals (example here), was to convince readers that the link between Al Sharpton and his "we want dead cops" crowd and Brinsley's motivations was not all that direct, i.e., that "Brinsley's short life and violent end is probably less political and more accidental than initially portrayed." The rest of us will find their attempt troubling, but utterly unpersuasive in that regard.

Don't miss it.
Review written by
Snow Miser
Do not miss this game, it is very impressive. Don't just think it's a Pikmin ripoff because it actually has a unique style of its own.
The gameplay is very impressive, with easy levels at the beginning and then progressing to harder ones. They also have very unique and fun bosses, plus with tons of Elebits.
After beating it the game has a variety of different missions on levels you have already done, plus you are able to Edit Levels and send it to friends. Plus with insane Multiplayer this game won't die easy.
Very well done graphics but don't expect 1080p or anything amazing. But fun graphics that will satisfy any Wii owner.
Cutscenes are very annoying with bad voice acting, but the screams of the Elebits make up for it.
Good Wii game that will be fun to any gamer who is ready for something new.
No posts yet for this game. Go for it.

Click here to print the obituary below
Pamela Sundberg
Pamela Sundberg born June 20, 1954 passed away on June 14, 2013. Pam's incredible zest for life was a quality shared by few, but adored by many. There wasn't a person she met whom she didn't call a friend. She was a straight shooter not afraid to say anything, often swearing accompanied by a laugh or playful punch to the arm or tug of the shirt. Her vivacious sense of humor was well balanced with genuine love. Born in Arcata, her family moved to Orleans when she was a young girl. There she met her life-long best friend, Leslie Burrows at age eight. Pam later graduated from Hoopa High and had two children at a young age: Rachel and Charlie McCovey. She worked for several years at the old Hoopa Hospital and later worked more than 30 years for the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office in various capacities. Her career connected her with the love of her life, Fred Sundberg, in 1998. They were married on September 27, 2000. Both had a passion for traveling, golfing and socializing with friends and family. Pam retired from her post with Humboldt County in 2010 and opened a fabric and quilting shop in Willow Creek: Madrone Tree Fabrics and Gifts. Fred became the CEO of the company, but not in the usual sense. She called him the Carry-Everything-Out-man because he loaded and unloaded endless reams of fabric when she took her business on the road. She spent some of her best times at quilting retreats and fabric shows hunting for the finest and most fun fabrics for her customers. She loved to shop at yard sales and consignment shops. She drove a hard bargain rarely paying the sticker price. She'd often come home beaming with excitement over random treasures she found for next to nothing. If it was retro it was even better. In 2011 she went to Thailand, exploring cities and sites, taking cooking classes, zip lining through the jungle and, of course, shopping. She and Fred traveled to Australia, Mexico, Canada, Hawaii, Reno and Las Vegas among many places. This year, for Valentine's day, she finally convinced Fred to go to Mexico. Pam loved all types of food and was known for trying unusual and exotic recipes. She also adored her dog, Olive and cat Calli endearingly referred to as 'Kitty.' On April 26, 2013 Pam was diagnosed with stage four cancer, which "riddled" her body. She never gave up hope for a full recovery. She wanted so badly to stay on earth with her husband and the people she loved. Even during the most difficult moments, Pam remained true to herself cracking jokes and giggling with her friends and family. Pam is preceded in death by her parents Raymond Young and Mary Davis; her sisters Ashley "Bunny" Holder and Angela Davis. She is survived by her loving husband Fred Sundberg Sr.; her daughter, Rachel McCovey and her son, Charlie McCovey; grandchildren: Destiny Latham, Shelby Clark, Randy Clark and Charles McCovey; stepchildren: Marci Halverson, Freddie Sundberg Jr., Chris, and their children Hayli, Madisyn, Jordyn, Lily, Freddie III, Ashley and Alyssa. She is also survived by her sisters Teresa Mello and husband Joe, Cyndi Hostler, Stephanie Jarnaghan and husband Joseph; brother Arnold Davis; numerous nieces and nephews; friend Leslie Burrows; mother-in-law Joy Sundberg; father-in-law Fred and Connie; brothers and sisters-in-law Danny and Dawn, Garth and Linda, Mark and Carol, Lisa and Kevin. The family would like to thank all of those who visited Pam in the hospital and extended their generosity, sharing food and kind words throughout this trying time: Leslie Burrows, Suzanne Murphy, Cathy Springmeyer, Renee Stauffer, Linda Gilliam, Bev Drake, Bruce and Kathy Millerbus, Marilyn Fox, Lenaire Alvarez, Linda Sundberg and many more. The family would also like to thank the doctors and nurses at St. Joseph Hospital, the Evergreen Lodge and Hospice of Humboldt. Special thanks are extended to Paul and Nancy Ayers, who opened their home to Pam and the family during her final days when the hospital was no longer a comfortable arrangement. A memorial and celebration of life potluck will be held on Tuesday July 2, 2013 at Cher-ae Heights Casino Bingo Hall at 11am. All are welcome to attend and encouraged to bring their best Pam story to share. Please sign the guestbook at

Pros: Vicinity to campus Staff
Cons: Maintenance
Location: Easy access off of I65
Room decor tired, counter stained, furniture worn, base board of bathroom vanity appeared to be kicked in, was not attached to vanity, unfinished floor exposed, a few bathroom tiles chipped. Found mattress uncomfortable, but that could be a personal preference.

Clean hotel, but trying to nickel and dime you...Posted Nov 11, 2014 on Hotels.com
Hotel was clean. Bed was not very comfortable. Advertises free internet. However, "free" internet is limited speed. If you want true high-speed, you have to pay $5 per day. Considering how much the room cost, the hotel should not be attending to get another $5. The neighborhood is nice, despite what other reviews might have claimed. Do not worry about your safety at this hotel.

Only one issue, the rest fantastic.Posted Apr 23, 2014
Pros: Soft clean beds, separate bedrooms with a great living area, kitchen and dining nook, even a fireplace. A+
Cons: Pay-per-view movies and TV Checkout features are great features for higher end hotels, this hotel could upgrade their basic TV to one of those systems
Location: We were there to visit my nephew at Purdue, it was opening night for his show, so college town equals a plethora of venues super nearby.
The hotel is LOVELY, the staff very friendly and almost over accommodating. I had just one issue, immediately after I checked in and was getting ready to take a quick shower right away after travel. I'd been there maybe 15 minutes, I was just in my underwear when there were two quick knocks on the door, and before I could take a breath, literally less than 2 seconds after the knock, a maid barged in with washcloths I hadn't asked for. The people across the hall had. However, instead of immediately backing out the door seeing me topless in just my panties, the maid just stood there, door wide open, staring like a deer in the headlights. So I called down the front desk to inform them of my unexpected guest. They said they'd call me right back after talking to the maid, which they did. Then they started offering me tons of freebies. I tried refusing, I got a gift basket anyway personally brought up by the manager. They asked me repeatedly what else they could do and I wasn't upset; All I wanted them to do was re-train her to wait a few seconds longer for guests to answer her knock before she enters. I didn't want her to lose her job over it, nor did I want anything. It was an honest mistake, she was a young maid. I understand people can mess up and I wasn't angry. I said they best thing they could give me, was just train the maid better. Other than that faux pas, I enjoyed the hotel very much, relaxing and lovely.

On Apple's iPad 5, iPhone 5S, and Plastic iPhone
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to inspect a supposedly accurate—and seriously intriguing—physical model of the completely redesigned fifth-generation iPad. I briefly mentioned it on Twitter, but didn't write a full article because some key details were ambiguous at that point, including how "final" the model was, and the release date. We've heard "late March" repeatedly from various sources, but unlike the iPad 2 and third-generation iPad, the casings for which were basically complete as of the Januaries before they launched, the iPad 5 didn't seem to be finished yet.
What does it look like? Well, it's a lot smaller than one would guess was possible: in portrait orientation, picture a 9.7" screen with virtually no left or right bezels, and only enough space above and below the screen to accommodate the mandatory camera and Home Button elements. Beyond that, it's noticeably thinner, as well, which is to say the the fifth-generation iPad will be smaller in every dimension than its predecessors. As it will have the same chamfered edges and curves, calling it a "stretched iPad mini" is very close to entirely accurate, with the rendering below looking pretty close to what I've seen. The critical question: "how will Apple accomplish this?"

The changes are so considerable that a new screen technology, such as IGZO, seems like a given. Going Retina for the third-generation iPad forced Apple to make that tablet a little thicker than the iPad 2, in part to seriously beef up the battery. Very little changed for the fourth-generation iPad. By contrast, this iPad 5 design is so much smaller that a full internal redesign—complete with a smaller, less power-hungry sequel to the A6X—can be safely assumed. It wouldn't be a surprise to see the new iPad remain roughly on par with the fourth-generation model in processing capabilities, with the improved screen, dramatically lower size, and reduced weight becoming the key selling points.
One piece of bad news: earlier this month, we heard that Apple was targeting the iPad 5 for March—something that seemed a little hard to swallow. As of now, we're hearing October, give or take a couple of weeks. This part is pure speculation, but we're guessing that the screens and processors are going to be hard to come by for a while. If IGZO is in fact the screen technology inside the new iPad, Apple will be relying heavily on Japan's Sharp, which has been struggling for some time with both financial and production constraints. We'd bet that stabilizing Sharp is a key concern for Apple going forward.
Our sources have also shared a few small new details on the upcoming iPhone lineup. The iPhone 5S will apparently look very much like the iPhone 5, but with a larger rear flash, and is indeed coming this year. Also planned for a 2013 release is Apple's "low-cost" plastic-bodied iPhone, which is being developed with China Mobile in mind: the government-owned telecom company has over 700 million subscribers. One of our sources claims that Apple's iPhone prices remain too high for most mainland Chinese customers—the iPhone 5 hardware alone starts at $849 there, versus the iPhone 4 at $500, in a country where the average annual salary is around $3,000 per person. The source has said that mainland Chinese iPhone 5 sales are already tapering off as a result of the pricing, which is higher than in Hong Kong. A budget iPhone model would help sales in populous but underdeveloped countries to grow.
Addressing the so-called "iPhone Math"—hinted by one source as a mistranslation of "iPhone +"—we've been told that this is another new model and in early prototyping stages, certainly not expected in 2013. It supposedly has a 4.7" screen, at least for the time being. It might never make it to market, and plenty could change before it does. Consider it Apple's "just in case / Plan B" hedge against ever-growing Android phone screen sizes.
Update: We've added additional iPad 5, iPad mini 2G, and iPhone 5S details in a follow-up report.

The high price is due to a huge Tax Rate to import electronics into China. And I really think the low cost iPhone is BS rumours if it is anything related to China.
1. The Rich in Chinese Spends far more then what you American can imagine. So Buying a few, if not a dozen iPhone for Gift isn't unheard of.
2. The Poor in Chinese will never able to afford anything Apple produce anyway. There are decent, usable Android Devices going from $30 - $50 range.
If they want a slightly cheaper iPhone? There is 4S.
3. Bigger Sized iPhone would be 5" with same resolution as current iPhone.

Going to try growing edamame for first time
I'm pretty new to gardening. Started last year and it went so well, I doubled the size of my garden this year.
Went a little overboard with the green beans and my wife said "hey, we like eating edamame. Can't you grow those?" So I thought I'd try it.
Is it too late to plant them? I'm in northern Ohio (zone 5). Any tips/tricks I should be aware of as I try this?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
It's not too late for edamame, but you would get the best results with an early variety, such as "Agate" or "Envy". With a little luck, you might even get some dry seed from them. Later varieties might still give you edamame too, but it would be close to the end of the season... so you would be hoping for a warm Fall.
Well, I went ahead and bought some seeds from the local nursery. I planted about 10 "spots" and put 3 seeds in each spot.
Three weeks later I'm only seeing a sprout from ONE of the spots. I went back to the nursery and asked them about it and the lady tells me that I wasn't watering them enough. I'm fairly new to this so I can't say for sure, but her explanation seemed kind of bogus.
The one sprout that has come up looks great. It has 3 really nice looking leaves and keeps growing.
Her explanation was that I wasn't watering enough so the roots were coming too close to the top because that's where the moisture is and then they dried out. I watered the whole area the same so I can't understand why one of them would grow so well and the others not.
Thinking about this made me remember reading something in a book or on web about how you're supposed to do something to the seeds before planting them. Of course, I can't remember the details.
It's probably too late to do another planting but I'd like to know for next year. I still have about half the bag of seeds left.
Thanks for any info.
If you have been as warm as it is here, soybeans should have very high germination. They love heat. One good soaking after planting, then enough water to prevent the soil from drying out until germination, should be adequate.
If you water with a hand-held sprinkler, and only watered once over the area, you probably didn't soak the soil deeply enough. It would take several passes.
It's also possible that the seed was planted too deep, or too shallow. In particular, seed planted too shallow would swell after the initial watering, but then die when it dries out. I get my best results covering with 1" of soil.
There is a fairly good chance that the seed was old or was damaged by heat. If the seed was exposed to direct sunlight, or if the package was kept in a hot enclosed location for awhile, it may have damaged much of the seed.
And lastly, it's possible that the seed did germinate, but birds or bunnies ate the seedlings.
Don't know if any of these was the problem, just throwing some ideas out there in case one of them rings a bell.
