Improving a racquet is not always easy, but the Head YouTek IG Prestige Pro makes it looks easy. Retaining the same control and stability, the addition of Innegra technology has made the racquet even more comfortable. The specialized fibers are integrated with the graphite matrix to do a number of things. These include strengthening the frame without increasing the weight, but most importantly reducing the vibration. One of the unique features of the YouTek IG Prestige Pro compared to the Mid and Midplus versions is a more spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern. The open pattern also helps to provide a bit more power without ruining the feel that the Prestige line is known for. Versatility is the goal of this racquet thanks to the d3O smart material which is design to react to the player's swing. On court, our testers were surprised by the level of power on groundstrokes and noticed a major difference in feel from the previous version. The spin of the more open pattern allowed some of our testers to feel more comfortable at the net as well.
Note: Head does not provide a cover with this racquet. Please check out our complete selection of Head bags.

Experts cover today's key dairy labor issues and offer fool-proof techniques to optimize employee performance, satisfaction and longevity.
By Robin Paggi, Worklogic HR
The recent legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado has inspired much discussion about its impact on employers in those states and potentially others. However, there is a drug that has been legal for years that employers should really be concerned about, and that is alcohol.
According to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, about 14 million U.S. workers are substance abusers, and the majority of them (85%) abuse alcohol.
That's a problem because, according to Robert J. Grossman, author of the article "What to Do about Substance Abuse," substance abusers are "three-and-a-half times more likely to cause accidents at work and in transit." Additionally, substance abusers use more sick days than their co-workers (an average of 45%) and "their health care costs are double their peers'."
In a survey conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 60% of respondents said that their companies are "tough" on illegal drugs but "soft" on alcohol. Additionally, more managers and supervisors actually reported drinking during the workday and at company functions than other employees.
Perhaps it is because alcohol is legal and socially acceptable that employers tend to put less importance on its negative impact at work. According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, "many companies do not have alcohol policies; those that do may not enforce them effectively." Those companies should know that one in five workers (in a George Washington University survey) reported they had been "injured or put in danger on the job because of a colleague's drinking, or having to work harder, redo work or cover for a co-worker as a result of a fellow employee's drinking."
The information above suggests that employers might benefit from becoming more knowledgeable and/or proactive about alcohol abuse. According to John Pompe, manager of disability and behavioral health programs at Caterpillar Inc., "Alcohol- and substance-related problems present a clear threat to employers in terms of productivity loss, safety, employee engagement, use of supervisory time and health care costs. The problem is that most employees with substance abuse problems go unrecognized and even more go untreated."
What should employers look for? According to The American Council for Drug Education, symptoms of alcohol abuse include:
• Frequent, prolonged, and often unexplained absences; • Involvement in accidents both on and off the job; • Erratic work patterns and reduced productivity; • Indifference to personal hygiene; • Overreaction to real or imagined criticism; • Overt physical signs such as exhaustion or hyperactivity, dilated pupils, slurred speech, or an unsteady walk.
How should employers treat alcohol abuse? The Occupational Safety & Health Administration suggests a comprehensive drug-free workforce approach that includes five components:
• a policy; • supervisor training; • employee education; • employee assistance; • testing.
According to OSHA, such programs, especially when testing is included, must be reasonable and take into consideration employee rights to privacy. Additionally, some states, such as California, require employers to reasonably accommodate employees who wish to voluntarily participate in a drug or alcohol rehabilitation program.
Employers do their employees as well as themselves a favor by addressing every kind of substance abuse in the workplace, because every kind of drug use is a threat to everyone involved, regardless of whether it is illegal or not.

"If you don't have a Facebook page already, create one," advises marketing expert Ross Fishman in his step-by-step guide for those who need to generate business for their companies.
Lots of folks in the dairy industry have followed this advice. For example, one of Dairy Today's 2014 Dollars & Sense contributors, Mark Rodgers, has a Facebook page for his Hillcrest Farms Dairy in Dearing, Ga.
Fishman advises hopeful business generators to keep their social media posts casual but professional. Indeed, dairy owners and operators need to be concerned about the messages they post on social media sites in order to obtain more business. They also need to be concerned about the messages their employees post on social media sites in order to avoid litigation.
Unfortunately, lots of employees post unprofessional messages about themselves and their employers. For example, the Florida Sheriff's deputy who appeared in uniform on his MySpace page, wrote about putting people in jail, and posted a list of his favorite things, which included female breasts, swimming naked, and drinking heavily and often. Thirteen Virgin Atlantic cabin crewmembers posted disparaging remarks about the airline and its customers on Facebook. A Google new-hire divulged confidential information about the company's financial situation and planned product offerings in his blog. And, the list goes on.
The bad news for employers is that they may face legal liability when employees engage in this kind of activity, regardless of whether it happens at work or at home.
What kind of legal problems arise when employees misuse social media? Employees who post derogatory comments about co-workers' race, religion, age, or any other protected characteristic put their employer at risk of a discrimination claim. Employees who post rumors or offensive false statements about co-workers put their employer at risk of a defamation claim. Employees who post sexually charged or offensive information put their employer at risk of a hostile work environment claim. And, the list goes on.
The good news for employers is that they may take steps to reduce the risk of liability. Employers may create a social media policy that, among other things:
• States that the misuse of social media may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination;
• Prohibits employees from posting during business hours, unless for business reasons;
• Prohibits employees from disclosing proprietary and confidential information;
• Prohibits employees from posting false information about the company, employees, and customers; and,
• Prohibits employees from making representations on behalf of their employer.
Although employers are allowed to implement a social media policy, there are some legal constraints they should consider before taking adverse action against employees, such as:
• How the employer accessed the information;
• Whether the employee was engaged in legal off-duty activity or protected concerted activity (such as trying to unionize);
• Whether the employee could be protected under a whistleblower statute; and,
• Whether the posting related to political activities or affiliations. Employees need to know that misusing social media may have dire consequences for them as well as for their employer. The Florida Sheriff's deputy mentioned above was fired for his posting, as were the 13 Virgin Atlantic crewmembers, and the Google employee. Employees also need to know that misuse of social media also includes accessing it too much while at work. According to Facebook Press Room, the average user spends more than 55 minutes on the site each day. If those 55 minutes is while at work, an employee could be in trouble.
Social media is not a bad thing. However, using it to damage employers, co-workers and clients, whether intentionally or not, is a bad thing. A policy that communicates clear expectations about the appropriate and inappropriate use of social media is a good thing and benefits employers and employees alike.

It is a new year and time for resolutions. For 2014, most of my resolutions fall into the typical: eat healthier, exercise more and spend more time with my family. But this year I am adding a non-typical resolution: throw out "conventional wisdom" as it relates to Congress and immigration reform.
2013 proved to be an utterly confounding year for conventional wisdom and immigration. Pro-reform forces were finally able to reach the magical 60 votes in the Senate. In fact, the final tally was 68. Pro-reformers also won the grassroots and media contest during the August Congressional recess. Opinion polls showed somewhere between 60% and 70% of Americans supported reform with a path to citizenship for the undocumented. In spite of all of this, everything ground to a halt with the vitriol surrounding the government shutdown in October.
House GOP "Immigration Principles"
So where does this leave immigration reform for 2014? There have been hopeful signs recently. In December, House Speaker John Boehner hired Rebecca Tallent, the well-respected former immigration adviser for pro-reform Senator John McCain. This week the House Republican leadership is promising to announce a set of "immigration principles" to guide a legislative push in 2014.
Boehner's principles are not complete, but House Republican leadership has begun to talk about them publicly, if only in broad terms. They are expected to include a strong border security component, mandatory e-Verify, a guest-worker program for low-skilled labor, more high-tech visas, and a special pathway to citizenship for undocumented children commonly referred to as "Dreamers." None of these proposals are new, and there are similar provisions in last year's Senate bill.
The principles are also expected to include a path to legal status, but not citizenship, for the broader undocumented population. This component is significant because the House Republican leadership has never publicly endorsed legal status for the larger undocumented population. In fact, a significant part of their caucus vehemently opposes legalization, calling it amnesty. This is also likely to be the area of greatest difference with the Senate bill, which has a pathway to citizenship.
The Dairy Analysis
The legalization/citizenship distinction is likely to be the greatest difference for reform as it relates to dairy. The Senate bill would create a two-fold approach to dairy's current immigration crisis: (1) legalization and an expedited pathway to citizenship for its current workforce, and (2) a limited guest worker program to meet future labor needs. Under the House principles, it would seem that an expedited path to citizenship would be out. Past House legislation has also proposed a larger, more employer-friendly guest worker program that would be available for dairy.
The Politics
So, back to New Year's resolutions and conventional wisdom in D.C. It is far too early to break resolutions, so I will make no prediction for 2014. However, I will identify the political factors that I believe will be present in the debate. Republican Senator John Cornyn put it most succinctly: "We can win in 2014 without resolving it. We can't win in 2016 without resolving it." House Republican leadership is looking forward to 2016 by pushing immigration reform, and they would love nothing more than their own Paul Ryan to be in the Oval Office. However, Boehner will not risk a schism in his caucus that could jeopardize control of the House or his own leadership position. Can he achieve this delicate balance? Only the coming months will tell.
I would also be remiss if I did not include the Democrats in the political calculation. For Democrats, the greatest danger is to appear to snatch defeat from the jaws of their 2012 presidential victory. Many of their supporters, Hispanics most prominently, want nothing short of a pathway to citizenship for the undocumented. So, even if Boehner is successful, the result may not be politically acceptable to either the Senate or President Obama.

2014 brings a number of changes that dairy producers should be aware of as they plan their labor costs and management plan. This article focuses on federal laws that are changing, but dairy farmers should also be aware of what is coming in their home states.
Minimum Wage. California raised its minimum wage dramatically this year, and it appears that Congress may follow with a federal minimum wage increase of its own. The Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2013, calling for a federal minimum wage increase to $8.20 after three months, $9.15 after one year, and $10.10 after two years. The bill will also link minimum wage to the Consumer Price Index, which will trigger future, automatic increases in minimum wage. Monitor this bill closely.
EEO Changes. Changes to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Act (VEVRAA) will take effect in March 2014, including changes to how protected veterans are defined under the law. The federal government has announced that a new poster will be released in 2013.
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Employers have been required to provide all employees with notices regarding rights concerning the insurance marketplaces on October 1, 2013, or within 14 days of an employee's start date for employees hired after October 1. All employers subject to the FLSA are required to provide the notice. Employers must provide the notice to each employee, regardless of plan enrollment status (if applicable), or of part-time or full-time status, but not to dependents. The notice must be provided in writing, but may be provided electronically through procedures established by the US DOL. In September, the DOL announced that it would not fine employers who failed to comply with the October deadline, but employers should comply in order to avoid the risk of fines in the future.
Unemployment Insurance. Congress went into recess without extending unemployment benefits, meaning that long term benefits expire as of December 28, 2013. It is possible that Congress could enact a retroactive extension after the first of the year. In 2011, Congress required states that receive federal funds to amend their unemployment insurance programs to require employers to respond to state EDD inquiries and to risk fines for failing to do so. Although there has not been aggressive enforcement in this area, employers should be aware that they may risk fines if they fail to respond to state inquiries on UI claims. In most states, employers can no longer receive credit for overpayments if they fail to provide information to the state in a timely manner. Some states, including New York, have begun taking severance pay into account when processing UI claims, which can result in delays to employees who receive severance pay when they leave the job. Employers who utilize severance packages should be aware of the law in their particular state. The end of the year presents an excellent opportunity to check posters to make sure they are current, and to review practices to ensure compliance.

A rather well known comedian has the line "Git'er done" as his trademark. I think what he is generally saying is that when a task needs to be done, don't spend a lot of excess time analyzing the whole thing, just dig in and get it done. Sometimes a task needs significant planning for accuracy and efficiency, but sometimes you just need to get the job done. I was reminded of this at a recent dairy advisory team meeting.
This farm has taken advantage of an advisory team program for several years and has used it well to consider expansion plans, facility improvements, nutrition options and general management questions. One frequent discussion topic is the workforce, including regular mention of proper documentation for all employees and I-9s in the files. As an advisory team and educators, we have done all we should to help this farm be successful. While finances are sometimes tight as on many farms, great facility improvements have been made, production is excellent, herd management is top of the line and things are going rather well.
A recent incident on the road between farmsteads triggered a major headache for the farm, though. A routine traffic stop to question a license plate triggered much more when the officer decided to ask additional questions of the immigrant employee. The expanded investigation resulted in a call to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and their involvement.
ICE asked the farm for I-9s on all of their employees. The farm was unable to produce a satisfactory, complete file of I-9s. ICE is continuing its investigation and at some point will determine the penalty it may levy against the farm. The size of a penalty will depend on the number of employees who have missing records and whether ICE thinks the farm knew some of these employees were improperly documented. All the farm can do is wait and hope the fine is not too large. Experience in other parts of the country suggests that fines could be quite significant if the ICE so decides.
One lesson in this incident is that as a farm business, it is still up to you to take the action. A fact of life today is that getting proper documentation and keeping proper records on employees is just as important as delivering feed to the cows and getting them milked every day.
The second lesson is that while advisors, educators and accountants are important members of management advisory teams, it is still the farm that has to get the job done.
An I-9 document is not a difficult one to obtain or fill out. The form itself is available from a number of websites free of charge. Just be sure you are using the current version that was released in March 2013. (Find it here.) The form has complete instructions as well as the actual document to be filled out and retained. The document has three sections. The employer should fill out Section 1 the first day the employee works for you. This establishes the identity of the employee and their knowledge of needing to provide proper documents to establish their right to work in the U.S.
Section 2 is where the employer verifies they have viewed documents provided by the employee that establish their right to be employed. The form provides a list of acceptable documents. Never tell the employee what documents to provide; just give them the list of acceptable documents and let them decide what to provide. View original documents (no photocopies are allowed), do your best to determine their authenticity, and record all documents on the I-9. Finally, have the employee sign the document and put it in your files. This must all be completed within the first three days of employment for all employees, regardless of citizenship status.
The third section of the form is used if the employee ever leaves your farm and then returns at some future date.
With a little luck, you will never have to take that I-9 out for any reason other than to purge your files long after the employee has left your farm. If ICE ever questions your employees' right to work, you have the documentation to show your best efforts to determine their legality. It may be tempting to keep a photocopy of the documents you were offered by the employee, but most advisors today suggest against it.
The bottom line in this whole process is to do what the comedian suggests, "Git 'er done!"

In September Military Judge James Pohl ruled [JURIST report] that he did not have the authority to allow media to broadcast al-Nashiri's trial. In February Pohl ruled [JURIST report] in al-Nashiri's case that attorney-client mail that was inspected at Guantanamo Bay can not be released by the Pentagon [official website]. Days before that ruling defense lawyers in the case of another Guantanamo detainee filed a suit [JURIST report] challenging the order for officials to read all legal correspondence for suspected 9/11 conspirators.

Great BuyPros: Works great on photoshop and gaming. cleanest quietest PC ive ever had. Still powerfull enough to not warrant upgrading for quite a while. Cons: My tower is full size and i did not account for the size of my desk, so its n a slab of wood next to my desk and taking up extra space but other than that its great. Other Thoughts: i will soon be upgrading my graphics card in the next year, maybe add two will update when that comes in. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Wonderful MachinePros: I have had the computer for more than a month now. It is very powerful and I have been able to play any game I want to flawlessly. The cooling system is great and I never have to worry about overheating issues. The mouse and keyboard that the computer came with matches the design of the case which I am also very happy with as I did not have to buy separate accessories. The fans are not loud at all. The price is great for the computer and I am very happy with my purchase. Cons: None that I can see so far. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Lousy Customer ServicePros: N/A Cons: As soon as I received the computer I followed iBuyPowers quick instructions only to discover the graphics card was DOA. I called iBuyPowers tech support which was useless then dealt with a few of Neweggs reps. All in all I paid to have a computer next day shipped just to have it returned and wait a week for it to ship back to CA for verification. Only then will a new one be shipped next day. They did credit my next day shipping with NewEgg credit. Other Thoughts: While the issue is with the Nvidia GeForce 680 graphics card I now sit with a new keyboard and my old Mac still unable to play my new games. Also please explain defective and damaged? If I buy a product from a retailer and it doesn't work from the get go its damaged or defective and the retailer did not deliver as promised. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Amazing computer for a great pricePros: So far everything works perfectly 1tb, gtx 680, and ofcourse the 3770k makes my old laptop feel like a dinasour. I've played almost all my games recently on max settings like, WoW, BF3, CoD-games, and so on without any lag etc... Cons: Con's....Well none so far other than not getting a manual included in the box >.> but I just called IbuyPower and ask the few questions that I had....They answeared them quite well, and explain a few things to me since I'm not really experianced with liquid cooling. Other Thoughts: I just wish I could have bought this comp long ago....... Manufacturer Response: 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Nice PowerPros: Great speed. Awesome graphics card. Very powerful gaming PC. Cons: Not able to do everything in the universe at once. Doesn't come with wireless card (really poor planning on my part having my PC need wireless) Other Thoughts: This is a great PC for the price. Hasn't fired on me yet. Probably not for the newbie computer gamer. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Chapter One
"You've been staring out of that window for ten minutes. What's so fascinating?"
I thought Jon was still asleep, or at least he had been when I'd sneaked out of bed, so his voice startled me.
"Just looking at the garden, thinking about what to plant this year."
That had been a lie and that's why I kept my back to Jon. Not that I do it very often, but he has the uncanny ability to know when someone's lying.
I'd crept out of bed the minute I'd heard my next-door neighbor out in his garden. He'd moved in a month ago. I hadn't met him yet, but I'd caught glimpses of him while he'd been in the back garden. Until he'd moved in, my neighbors had been couples with toddlers or cranky old ladies. The street's latest addition looks thirty to thirty-five, tall, great body...in fact, everything about him was gorgeous and he'd become an obsession for me. Whenever I heard him outside, I'd rush to the window and enjoy the view.
It was only 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning. We were in the middle of a heat wave and it was already sweltering. My neighbor was working shirtless and only a pair of low-rise jeans adorned his gorgeous body. He stopped digging long enough to wipe the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand. I licked my lips, imagining him wiping the sweat from his face after we'd had an afternoon of nonstop sex.
"So what are you thinking about planting?"
I jumped again. This time it wasn't Jon's voice that startled me, but his arms going around my waist. His already erect cock pressed into my bottom.
He kissed my neck and pulled me in closer to his body.
"I've still got to pack for my trip so I'll need to head home soon," he whispered in my ear. "How about a quickie before I go?"
I love quickies just as much as Jon, but today I wasn't in the mood for sex. Well, I was, but just not with Jon. Today, the only person I wanted sex with was the guy next door.
"Don't turn around," he whispered.
It's Jon's favorite way to have a quick fuck, which worked in my favor today. It meant I'd still be able to watch my neighbor while we had sex.
He kissed my neck before lifting up my T-shirt over my head. I raised my arms before seeing it land by my left foot. Next, he tugged my panties from my butt and dragged them down my legs. I stepped out of them before they joined the T-shirt.
Jon kissed my neck again as he massaged my breasts. He fingered my tits until my nipples turned into hard little pebbles.
"Um, I'm going to miss touching you, smelling you while I'm gone."
His hands slid down to my mound while he playfully bit into my neck. He glided one hand between my thighs. Jon inched his finger through my pubic hair and rested it on my clit.
I tried to play hard to get to add to his fun, but as he pinched me, sending zings of electricity through my belly, I had to give in and parted my legs.
One of his fingers slid into my pussy, taking me by surprise.
"Wow, you're hot and ready this morning," he mumbled in my ear.
He was right. Usually it took at least a couple of minutes of Jon stroking my clit to get me this slick and ready for him.
"Plants obviously turn you on. I'll have to remember that."
Jon licked my shoulder blade while thrusting his finger gently inside me. I spread my legs apart farther, raised my bottom up to him, leaned over slightly, and placed my hands on the windowsill, bracing for what was to come.

1535 Olympic Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA | Directions
Neighborhoods: Broadway Plaza
Aloha Tiki Tom's in Walnut Creek! – Aloha Tiki Tom's! Enjoyed myself a great cocktail & lunch at this downtown Walnut Creek location earlier this month.
LOCATION: On Olympic Blvd strip in the Broadway Plaza vicinity btw S.Main & Locust (or btw California Pizza Kitchen & Cheesecake Factory). Restaurant store front appears smalls, but opens fairly nicely with 4-seater tables, bar booths, & high chair 4-seater booths along the wall.
CUST SVC: Kimber, who was the Hostess/Waitress/Bartender, was great! Not much of a lunch crowd in here on a Thursday afternoon, & no complaints w/ myself or Sher K w/ that ;-) My 1st time @ Tiki Tom's; Kimber was patient, pleasant, & quite helpful. Mahalo (Thank You) Kimber!
COCKTAIL: For all their featured cocktails, you can order just the cocktail @ standard price, or purchase the tiki mug w/ ur drink ($2 discount basically if you wanted to come in purchase mugs alone), then spend $6 on refills; prob useful if u plan to stay few hours drinking it up. Colleague got their Lava Flow while I opted for the Coconut Monkey. Both cocktails were pretty good. Lava Flow for $8 similar to all other Lava Flows out there, creamy, light alcohol taste, & good. My Coconut Monkey came in a glass tiki cup for $7.50 (or u could pay $15 for a tiki mug to take home); another light alcoholic drink 2-thumbs up from light weight here *tee-hee".
FOOD: Colleague & I went w/ their Lunch Special for $7.95; get entree w/ fries OR mac salad & sticky rice. Colleague got the Teriyaki Steak w/ mac salad & rice; steak was cooked & seasoned nicely. At first glance I asked if they had pineapple in their mac salad...about several bites in she did find her pineapple, or noticed at least; she enjoyed her lunch entree. I got the Red Stripe Beer Batter Dipped Mahi Mahi w/ sweet potato fries. This dish prob best served w/ mac salad & rice, but I had plans to taste Sher K & wanted to try their sweet potato fries out *tee-hee*. Very pleased w/ this dish! Mahi Mahi wasn't heavily covered w/ batter, yet a very nice crunch on outside; tender white inside to break w/ fork AND taste..quite yummy. Could've use more tartar sauce, but it was really fine w/o it. The sweet potato fries did not let me down either! So glad I don't have to travel to The Counter for these now (although no special sauce for sweet potato fries like The Counter *sigh*).
FINAL TAB: Our final tab came to $33 & some change. Not bad on our pocketbook & quite pleased w/ our hawaiian lunch getaway down the street. Definitely would consider coming back here, trying out the Oakland location, & recommend all we ate & drank ;-) Scrum-didly-umptous folks!
NOTES: Kimber advised us THIS location (as they're not affiliated to Oakland location) has the following specials:
---* TACO TUESDAY starts 5pm includes fish, pork, steak
---* HAPPY HOUR starts 3pm
======== $1-off draft beers & wine
======== $2-off any liquor
======== $2-$3 on their appetizers
Favortie Place – No matter how many fancy bars and Restaurants come and go in Walnut Creek, Tiki Toms will always be my favorite place to go. Wonderful staff, amazing food, drinks, and music. Darrin and his brother Rick are the owners, they are so cool to hang out with. I love this place.......
Good STRONG drinks! – I've never eaten here but had a fair share of liquid dinners at Tom's. Love the decoration, crowd is usually pretty cool, best to go with some friends instead of trying to meet people here though. Some nights there are bands, football on the big screen during season. Excellent list of fun drinks - beware the Navy Grog!! Go for no more than two mixed drinks or you may not make it to the next watering hole!
You know what I mean when I say GREAT drinks. I mean they're nice and loaded! Plenty of the "el booz-o". Well Sammy, the head barkeep, does a fine job of pouring out some of the best libations I've had. Foods pretty good too. The Ahi is one of the best here on the mainland. Also, as a "drunk old man" I can say that the "talent" that frequents this place is FINE. No I don't mean HOT, I mean FINE...Freaked-out, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional. Of course I find most Walnut Creek folk to be that way anyhow. But hey, no place is perfect right? But then not everybody like me is from Hawaii either. Aloha.
greatmargs,mai tais,chickenskewers,ribs,ahi tuna. – Go during the week,Friday nights tend to get busy small place but local atmosphere, great place to go for appetizers and drinks after work. Ask for the special, they usually have nightly specials for dinner. nightly music, we listened to the muschuga beach party last night, very good beach music, very funny. great surf videos, every night is different depending on the crowd. get to know your bar tenders they poor generously.
does the trick – Tiki Tom's is fine for a quick drink or two and a couple of apps. it tends to get a little over crowded during happy hour but thats just the name of the game in Walnut Creek. The food is ok, service could be better. they have fat tire on tap wich is always nice...
Get in before 9 pm – Went on Friday around 7:30-8:00. Great Hawaiian band and hula dancers. Had a couple drinks and appetizers. Drinks were good, food was so-so. The décor and atmosphere was fun and island-y!!
After 9:00 pm, everything changed. Got accosted by two old (I mean OLD) drunk (I mean DRUNK at 9:45) guys. Mid-to-late 30s guys in suits looked terribly out of place. 20-something guys with absolutely no game. Bartenders were not terribly friendly. Took 40 minutes just to close out tab (after asking three times).
My advice, go early, have a few drinks, enjoy all of the great things about this place, then GET OUT and go somewhere with better service and people.

Clallam County Superior Court
Published on Wed, Dec 10, 2008
Read More
Richard Louda Sr. - Louda, 78, without an address but from
Sequim, was sentenced Nov. 19 to $2,150 in fines and 12 months of community custody under court supervision for the charge of reckless burning in the first degree, a class C felony. Louda reportedly set fire to a garage on Taylor Cutoff Road near Sequim. The garage was owned by Louda's son. Louda Sr. reportedly turned himself in for the fire at the Sequim Police station. He allegedly admitted to pouring Coleman fuel from a can in his possession and lighting it with a match. He said he knew the garage might ignite as well, but didn't care.
Joseph Golbeck - Golbeck, 26, of Sequim, was sentenced Dec. 2 to eight months in jail and $1,150 in fines for the charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property in the second degree and obstructing a law enforcement officer. On Sept. 1, Sequim Police officers responded to a reported domestic dispute near the 100 block of South Rhodefer Road. After arresting another Sequim man on an arrest warrant, the man indicated a backpack with drug-related contraband belonged to Golbeck. One of the officers detained Golbeck as well. Golbeck refused to give his name and date of birth after officers found a flare gun inside the backpack, instead asking for an attorney. The officer arrested him on obstruction, reporting that while during a police investigation those involved must provide identification, which Golbeck refused to do. Golbeck previously had been convicted of a felony and was not allowed to possess a firearm. Other contents in the backpack, including a global positioning system device and radios, had been reported stolen.
Tracy Presson - Presson, 46, of Sequim, was sentenced Nov. 18 to 33 months in a state prison and $2,016 in fines for the charges of unlawful possession of a firearm in the first degree and possessing a stolen firearm, both class B felonies related to 2005 offenses. According to court documents, Presson entered a Goa Way residence with his wife, Paula, and accomplice John Eddy, who also both face charges. They allegedly stole two .12 gauge shotguns, a .22 caliber rifle, a .357 Colt Peacemaker, baseball cards, train sets, tools, night vision goggles, an air compressor and other items valued at more than $3,000. Because he earlier had been convicted of a felony he was not allowed to be in possession of firearms. According to court documents, many of the items were recovered in Presson's Sequim home.
Billy Knapp - Knapp, 39, of Sequim, saw his case dismissed without prejudice from Clallam County Superior Court Nov. 12. Cases dismissed without prejudice can be filed again at a later date. Court documents indicate the state was unable to continue the case due to the lack of a material witness. The original charges were robbery in the second degree, assault in the fourth degree and malicious mischief in the second degree.
Joshua Wilson - Wilson, 26, of Sequim, also known as Joshua Wedding, was sentenced Nov. 7 in two court cases. He received a mandated 12 months of community custody monitored by the court and $2,050 in fines for one count of the sale, delivery or possession with intent to sell or deliver a legend drug, Percocet, a class B felony. On Aug. 13, Sequim Police contacted four males at Second Avenue and Cedar Street who said an intoxicated male on a bicycle was harassing them. Court reports allege Wilson was on the bike. The officers patted Wilson down for weapons and found a prescription bottle with no label on it that had half a Percocet pill. Wilson also received 365 days in jail and $1,280 in fines for the charge of assault in the fourth degree. The 365 days in jail are suspended for two years if Wilson is able to comply with court requirements and probation. The charge originates from a June 2008 dispute where he assaulted a man he had been living with. Both are registered sex offenders, according to court documents.

What is SleepQ?
SleepQ is a smartphone app being developed to perform a home version of Intensive Sleep Retraining (ISR), a powerful laboratory- based sleep training procedure. ISR is an active way to learn to fall asleep and get back to sleep with more confidence, done through repeated short sleep trials. The SleepQ app is not a pill or gimmick that claims to put you to sleep, nor a sleep-tracking app that tells you what you probably already know – that you are sleeping poorly.
Who Uses SleepQ?
People with ongoing trouble falling or staying asleep, those who have lost confidence their sleep, those who feel they "never sleep", and those who are trying to reduce or eliminate their dependency on sleeping medication. (Always ask your doctor about your sleep and your sleeping medications)
How Does SleepQ Work?
The SleepQ app reverses the negative conditioning caused by frequent difficulty getting to sleep or back to sleep. Detecting the start of sleep during repeated short sleep trials, the SleepQ app guides you from one sleep trial to the next according to auto-adjusting time intervals, which allow you to train at just the right intensity level.
When Do I Use SleepQ?
Because it is essential to be sleepy when you do sleep training, the afternoon or early evening after a poor night of sleep is the best combination of convenience and effectiveness for sleep training. Training for at least an hour is recommended to begin regaining confidence in your sleep after any rough night. Again, the SleepQ app is used for a short period of time when sleepy, not at the start of your night of sleep.
Where Do I Use SleepQ?
Use the SleepQ app in the comfort and privacy of your own bedroom. This means you can condition yourself to fall asleep easily in your own bed, not on your couch, in a guest room, or in a laboratory setting as done in the original ISR research.
Why the SleepQ app?
Because you know sleep is important for your health. Because you want to be less dependent on sleeping medication or alcohol to sleep. Because you are looking for an effective, rapid, affordable way to regain confidence in your sleep! Learn to sleep on cue, with SleepQ!

Chinese steel exporters expressed relief that the government's latest steel export tax revisions were broadly in line with market expectations, but said some smaller producers could be hit hard by the changes.
China's Ministry of Finance announced an increase in export duties to 25 percent on semi-finished steel, 15 percent on hot-rolled strip and 15 percent on long products, effective Jan. 1.
Market participants had expected the Chinese government to increase taxes to 20 percent on semis, 10 percent on hot-rolled strip and 15 percent on long products.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - February 05, 2013) - Regen BioPharma a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bio-Matrix Scientific Group Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BMSN), announced today filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA to initiate clinical trials assessing the company's HemaXellerate I™ stem cell drug in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia.
HemaXellerate I™ is a patient-specific composition of cells that have previously been demonstrated to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells based on previous animal studies. The company, together with an internationally-renowned group of stem cell researchers, recently published the scientific basis for the HemaXellerate I™ product which may be found at http://www.translational-medicine.com/content/pdf/1479-5876-10-231.pdf.
"Currently patients with aplastic anemia who are resistant to drugs and ineligible for bone marrow transplant have no therapeutic options. We are fortunate to be in the position to have developed a novel approach to potentially treat this terrible condition," said David Koos, CEO of Bio-Matrix. "To our knowledge the HemaXellerate I™ product is the only therapy that has potential to simultaneously block the underlying cause of aplastic anemia while at the same time rebuilding the bone marrow tissue that has been damaged by the disease."
If the clinical trial is successful, the company plans to expand use of HemaXellerate I™ to other conditions associated with bone marrow dysfunction, with the overall goal of entering the hematopoietic growth factor market. This market is substantial in size and currently includes drugs such as Neupogen®, Neulasta®, Leukine® and Revolade®.
"Current drug-based approaches for healing bone marrow damage involve "flooding" the body with growth factors, which is extremely expensive and causes unintended consequences because of lack of selectivity," said Dr. Vladimir Bogin, CEO of Chromos Pharma (a contract research organization), which collaborated with Regen on filing the IND and member of the Company's Scientific Advisory Board. "Based on our data HemaXellerate I™ possesses the advantage delivering an optimized cellular mixture that produces the needed growth factors at the specific location in the bone marrow niche."
The planned clinical trial anticipates recruiting 10 patients who have failed standard of care, which will be treated with HemaXellerate I™ and followed for safety parameters and signals of efficacy. Therapeutic effects will be quantified based on immunological measurements, as well as improvement in blood counts. Patients in the trial will be assessed for one year, however, because the trial is unblinded, data will be available as the study progresses.
