Sounds high to me.... but I have not checked the market lately.
March 22, 2013, 09:39 AM
And I believe the new ones come with a few powder bushings, not just one. Mine in .410 did. I love it by the way. I can reload .410 for under $4 a box, have you seen the price of factory .410 lately?;)
March 22, 2013, 09:47 AM
Check W World, they usually sell the 12ga 600jr. new around $142 or so last time I looked.
March 22, 2013, 09:54 AM
W World?
March 22, 2013, 09:56 AM
Yes, maybe a bit high.
New from Midway is $178 and the new ones do come with three bushings. Although, bushings are not expensive, it does not take too many until you have real money invested in them. I have 20 or 25 of them but I do load 4 gauges on MEC 600jr's.
Shop around, you may be able to find a new on for a deal.
Maybe if you could see it in person it might be worth paying a little premium but since you mentioned shipping, that sounds like it is not possible.
As an aside, MEC 600jr's are great, i have four of them. Keep in mind, changing the gauge is not for the faint of heart, which is why I have four of them.

If "W World" means WalMart, I have NEVER seen reloading equipment sold there of any type.

I haven't seen reloading stuff at Wal Mart either and coming up blank on their website. Midway is in stock in 12 Ga at $178 with my discount. Cabela's has them at $185.
March 22, 2013, 10:42 AM
$180 in stock and ships for $5 ordered off internet.
This is where I bought my .410 last summer and was extremely happy with service. Only bad thing was they shipped in original container and when it arrived the handle was sticking out of the box though there was no damage.
Fast ship.
Also check E-Bay, saw several. Would guess you might get one in the $100 plus shipping range there.
March 22, 2013, 11:08 AM
W World, Wally World, I mean Wal-Mart. Yes, ours sells reloading supplies, the one the next town over does not. Ours has 600jr 12ga for $162.00
Their website will only bring up a couple of things like a lyman powder scale etc.
Search reloading equipment or supplies.
When in stock, ours has powder, bullets (Sierra and Hornady), shotgun hulls, brass, shell shot (different size they have #6 and #7.5 right now) primers, various RCBS equipment dies etc. and some lyman die sets, shell holders, and MEC 600jr and they have a Grabber in stock right now. They also have Ammo storage cases (is it MCM or something like that). They even have Rock Crusher kits etc. Not all Wal-Marts stock the same stuff. But right now ours is mostly empty of reloading supplies and equipment.
Graf and Sons website has 600jr for 12 and 20 ga for $178.99 and 16ga for $192.99 with $6.95 shipping.
To answer the OP's question if you can find it and you want it, buy it. The guys asking price isn't that bad.
March 22, 2013, 11:18 AM
Last new one that I bought was last summer, and it was $145 plus shipping from Natchez. I've never paid more than $75 for a used one.
March 22, 2013, 11:20 AM
Natchez is showing $178 out of stock as well.
March 22, 2013, 12:24 PM
Ebay has them starting from .99 I'dhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/MEC-12-GA-SHOTSHELL-RELOADING-PRESS-G398-/261189160041?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd0164c69
March 22, 2013, 12:50 PM
Used MEC should be almost HALF that asking price; more like $75.00, or less depending on how old it is - the older models are worth maybe $50
Try Craigs List, forget EBAY at the moment and especially try your local trap/skeet club bulletin board
March 22, 2013, 12:51 PM
If "W World" means WalMart, I have NEVER seen reloading equipment sold there of any type.
Two of the three in my town carry reloading gear including presses, scales, and all of the accessories for both shotgun and metallic
March 22, 2013, 03:08 PM
That is definitely high for a used 600Jr. For that price it should have come with several shot bars and every powder bushing available and maybe even a big of shot. But the good news is, you got a good press, providing it is in good working order that is?
March 22, 2013, 03:21 PM
I just bought a used one about a week ago for $100. It has been used but it is in excellent condition. This included a 12ga. die set a 20ga. die set and a .410 die set. Also, 250 hulls and plastic wads of each size. Also, about 10-15lbs each of #5, 8 and 9 shot. This one has the universal adjustable shot/powder bar. I picked it up about 30 miles from here so there was no shipping involved. I was playing around with it when I sat down and saw this posting so it could not have been more timely.
March 22, 2013, 03:45 PM
Thanks all - going to get a new one instead

Session 39 - Supernovae.
Display session, Thursday, January 08
Exhibit Hall,
The Mount Stromlo Abell Cluster Supernova Search has been in operation for 1-1/2 years and has been successful in discovering 20 supernovae (SNe) to date. Once a large enough sample is gathered, we expect to be able to estimate the SN luminosity function and rate (in clusters and in the field) and to compare the effect of host galaxy type on SN characteristics. We also plan to compare the SN Ia distances derived for several clusters to those measured by Lauer and Postman (1994) using brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) distances, and to discuss the implications for the measurement of the reflex motion of the Local Group (LG) with respect to Abell clusters using SNe Ia and/or BCG. We present preliminary results from the volume-limited sample of SNe obtained during the first year of the search, including light curves, spectra, distances, and interesting objects. In addition, we discuss preliminary estimates of the SN rate and luminosity function.
The author(s) of this abstract have provided an email address for comments about the abstract: email@example.com

A comic quotation quiz
Moliere wrote in La critique de l'école des femmes (1663) that 'it's an odd job, making decent people laugh.' In the spirit of making people laugh, we present this quiz drawn from the Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations. Edited by the late Ned Sherrin, the dictionary compiles words of wit and wisdom from writers, entertainers and politicians. Hopefully, by question eight, you will not be able to say 'Another day gone and no jokes' (Flann O'Brien, The Best of Myles, 1968)

Anyone read The Shuddering by Ania somethingorother? This book had me freaked out to the very end... like bad dreams, hearing things go bump in the night, freaked out. Just wondering what the Literary Council thinks of it.
I put this over in GOTD, but I'll add it here, too.
I have had the misfortune of being at restaurants with children completely out of control while their parents ignore them. Yesterday, however, the child was completely fine and it was GRAMMA who was being too loud.
Panda looks over.
Gramma is waving a finger around the head of a boy approximately ten years old.
KID: stares at Gramma silently
KID: stares at Gramma silently
GRAMMA: I DID IT!!! IT'S ALL CURLY! WOOOO! (bursts into loud laughter)
KID: stares at Gramma silently, then looks in silent plea to mother
It was a fancy restaurant. There were actually two children at that table, the boy and a girl roughly the same age, and they had absolutely lovely manners. It was all Weird Gramma.

I'm sure you don't being an author and all ( ) but if you have a Kindle and a Prime membership, you can "borrow it" for free. Took me about 4 nights in bed to get through it. After about the midway point, I couldn't put it down b/c it scared the crap out of me so much that I just wanted to finish it. My heart was racing 75% of the time and I wanted to turn on lights as I walked through the house and was constantly looking out the windows expecting to see what the author was describing. So freaky! I'm a huge Stephen King fan, and personally, the scare factor in this book put him to shame. I also think the author did a good job of describing things and "putting me there" in the scene with the way she wrote... but I'm not an author so I don't know enough or have a large enough vocabulary to critique too well. I like mindless reading and stuff that makes me want to keep reading... she didn't make me think, and kept me wanting to read.
I still have not finished reading Dracula... I'm about halfway through, I think... The dialect you mention makes me think too hard...

Dear Gay Panda,
I have just discovered your journal, and have now lost an entire afternoon AT WORK reading it, finding myself alternately laughing and feeling my heart ache for you. I have now got to do some work but please know I greatly appreciate your writerly talent. It's like discovering a new book- such a treat!
Also- your earlier comment about mispronouncing words (of 2 years ago, but only a few hours ago for me!) made me think of the link below, wherein many people recount their pronunciation errors. You are not alone!
yes and yes: 5 Words I've Been Mispronouncing Until, Well, Now
You are so sweet to drop by! Sadly, mundane posts might be shooting too high because I am returning to the endocrinologist on Wednesday, where two things are sure to happen:
1. I will be charged an insane amount for parking.
2. My medication will be raised.
If things go like the last two times, darling Brad6ford, I will promptly fall asleep for the next 7-10 days. (Due to #2, not #1 above. #1 just makes my wallet sad.) So I am announcing this now to you, in expectation that I am going to vanish into Synthroid Snoozing until the middle of the month when the panda body at last adjusts. The Zombies: Volume One will be free on Amazon from July 8th-12th. (The Zombies: Volume Two is also out.) And I know how much you love zombies, Brad6ford. There's something just so romantic about them, isn't there? Let other people drool after sparkling vampires and shirtless werewolves, give me a good old decaying zombie in my bed any day of the week.
Wish me dreams of bamboo and misty forests and neighbors who do not throw cat poo in the road, Brad6ford. Wish me dreams of six heroic zombies fighting against oppressive human overlords. And wish me the ability to waken sooner rather than later, like Snow White or Sleeping Beauty after their poisonings, except I'd rather you give me bacon than deliver true love's kiss. It's nothing personal, Brad6ford. Panda is just waiting for the right zombie to come along, and you are depressingly human.

Other than some disparaging remark about my ex, I got nothin'. I just wanted to see that sentence on its own. hehLet other people drool after sparkling vampires and shirtless werewolves, give me a good old decaying zombie in my bed any day of the week.

Though Apple's iPhone still rules the mobile browsing game, it looks like Google's Android OS—spread over numerous devices now—is beginning to catch up. Admob's stats show its actually overtaken RIM to steal second place.
Back in March AdMob's statistics showed quite how dominant the iPhone was, with 50% of the U.S. smartphone OS market—RIM's BlackBerrys came next at 21% share, and Android lagged in fifth place behind both Palm and Windows Mobile with just 5% share. Now, all of that has changed.
Apple's actually consolidated its position with another 5% of the market. But RIM's share has dropped to just 12%—despite the arrival of sophisticated iPhone competitor BlackBerrys like the Storm. And Android has stormed to 20% of mobile browsing requests passing through AdMob's servers (the metric the company uses to calculate these statistics.) The HTC Dream is the most popular Android handset, it seems, but among the numbers it's the Motorola Droid that's the real surprise—it's so freshly available, but AdMob's November statistics show it's responsible or 24% of Android's mobile browsing figure.
Will Android's growth continue? Its strong performance this far suggests it might gain market share as the public buys more and more Android phones, and the ones that arrive are better designed—continuing the trend Droid seems to have begun. If the rumors of the Googlephone prove true, it's certain Android will gain more traction. Whether or not it'll challenge the iPhone depends on how popular the iPhone remains in its current incarnation, whether Apple allows more carriers in each nation to sell them, and how popular the upcoming fourth-gen device is. Its hard to see Android toppling it from its perch any time soon.

Otters' Dermott eyeing 2015 NHL draft
Erie Otters defenseman Travis Dermott will watch the 2014 NHL Entry Draft with greater interest than usual.
He's not eligible for the draft, which will be held today and Saturday at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. But he knows many players who could realize that lifelong dream.
"It's a great eye opener ... (and) great motivation for me to do all I can this year to make sure that I get drafted," Dermott, 17, said. "This is what I want a year from now."
Dermott, who missed the Sept. 15 cutoff for eligibility in this weekend's draft by two months, joins teammates Connor McDavid and Dylan Strome as projected first-round picks in the 2015 draft. Mark Seidel, a former assistant general manager with the Otters who now serves as North American Central Scouting's chief scout, considers McDavid as the obvious No. 1 pick and Strome a potential top-10 choice. Seidel has Dermott as a borderline first-round prospect with the two-way skills and work ethic to improve his stock in the next year.
Dermott likes the idea of being viewed as a first-round pick. But that won't divert his focus from the challenges that loom ahead.
"From where I sit, I'm still getting undrafted," Dermott said, referring to his underdog mentality. "I still have to work hard and make sure I put myself in the best position to get drafted, let alone in a high round."
Dermott figures to face a little less pressure than the higher-profile McDavid and Strome on the road to the 2015 draft, which is set for June 26-27, 2015 at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla. McDavid, 17, has been pegged as the favorite to be the top pick since being the top pick in the 2012 OHL Priority Selection.
"This is a generational player," Seidel said of McDavid.
Strome, 17, the second pick in the 2013 OHL draft, has the skill and family pedigree to join McDavid in the top 10. Strome's brother, Ryan, the No. 5 pick (N.Y. Islanders) in the 2011 NHL draft, made his NHL debut and was selected to the AHL's all-rookie team this past season.
"He worked hard. He did everything he was supposed to do," Seidel said of Dylan Strome.
Still, Dermott stepped into the spotlight this past season as a rookie earning steady ice time on a veteran defense that led the league and set an Otters record with 170 goals against. Next season, he should earn greater responsibility on the ice with the departure of experienced defensemen like Spencer Abraham and Islanders prospect Adam Pelech.
"He's going to play a huge role on that back end next year," said Seidel, who compares Dermott to Morgan Rielly, the Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman who was the fifth pick in the 2012 draft and played 73 games as a 20-year-old NHL rookie this past season.
Seidel said Dermott would be rated as high as a second-round pick in this weekend's draft.
Dermott also should gain greater exposure among NHL scouts while playing alongside McDavid and Strome next season.
"It's great to hear that," Dermott said of being a draft prospect. "I need to keep working and hopefully don't let anyone down."

Thirty-one-one-year-old Amy Elizabeth Rion-Wilson was arrested after the principal at Springfield Elementary School said she was concerned about a 7-year-old boy and an 11-year-old boy.
A sheriff's report says the boys told deputies their mother had whipped them because they were not working fast enough at their mother's puppy mill. They said they sometimes didn't finish until 1 a.m. The boys have been placed in emergency protective custody.
It wasn't clear if Rion-Wilson has a lawyer.
Business owner Lisa Spear told WYFF-TV the operation is a kennel, not a puppy mill. Spear says the boys may have exaggerated after they were punished for their actions while Spear and Rion-Wilson were running errands.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Adherence to Nonnucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor– Based HIV Therapy and Virologic Outcomes." It is in the 17 April 2007 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 146, pages 564-573). The authors are J.B. Nachega, M. Hislop, D.W. Dowdy, R.E. Chaisson, L. Regensberg, and G. Maartens.
HIV is the cause of AIDS, which is a potentially deadly illness that interferes with the body's ability to fight off infection and certain types of cancer. Treatment regimens containing several drugs (called highly active antiretroviral therapy or HAART) have greatly improved outcomes for HIV-infected patients. Unfortunately, people need to have high levels of adherence to the treatment regimens for the drugs to work. Adherence means taking drugs exactly as prescribed and not missing doses. Newer treatment combinations include drugs called nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). It is unclear whether treatment combinations that include NNRTIs require the same high level of adherence to effectively treat HIV infection as treatment combinations that do not contain these drugs. Studies of treatment combinations that did not include NNRTIs suggest that patients need to take 90% of prescribed doses to effectively suppress HIV infection.
To find out whether HIV treatment combinations that include NNRTIs require the same high level of adherence as regimens that do not contain these agents.
2,821 HIV-infected adults who started treatment with NNRTI-containing treatment between January 1998 and March 2003. All patients were receiving health care in an HIV program in South Africa that covered the cost of the drugs.
The researchers used the pharmacy computer system to determine how often the patients refilled their HIV treatment prescriptions. They also collected information on the results of blood tests for viral load. Doctors use viral load measurements to monitor patients who are receiving treatment for HIV infection. Viral load is a measure of the amount of HIV virus in the blood. It increases as the disease advances, so a lower viral load is better. The researchers considered viral load less than 400 copies/mL to be complete suppression of HIV infection, which is a good outcome.
As adherence to prescribed drugs increased, complete suppression increased. However, some patients who took only 50% of prescribed doses had complete suppression (viral load fewer than 400 copies/mL).
The researchers recorded how often patients filled their prescriptions as a way to measure how well they followed the prescribed treatment. It is possible that some patients filled their prescriptions regularly but did not take the drugs as prescribed. Also, not all patients had their viral load measured at set times in relation to when they started treatment.
Although outcomes are best when patients take HIV treatment exactly as prescribed, patients who receive drug combinations that include NNRTIs may have good viral load outcomes with medium adherence levels. Studies of drug combinations that do not contain NNRTIs suggest that these regimens require higher levels of adherence for good outcomes.

Bill advances to post 'In God We Trust' in schools
HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania public school districts would be required to post "In God We Trust" in every school building under legislation that advanced out of a committee in the state House of Representatives this week.
The bill sponsored by Rep. Rick Saccone, R-Allegheny, passed the House Education Committee on Wednesday by a 14-to-9 vote, with only one Democrat and one Republican crossing party lines.
The National Motto Display Act, as it is titled, credits James Pollock, a 19th century Pennsylvania governor, for putting the term on coins while serving as director of the U.S. Mint. The measure would require schools to post it by using a mounted plaque, student artwork or some other form.
Saccone said the motto would fit well with the state's local history curriculum.
"This isn't about evangelizing," Saccone said. "This is about celebrating our national motto."
"In God We Trust" became the national motto under a 1956 law.

Q: What to do with a cat who will not use the cat box for pooping, and now has taken to even peeing on the floor as well? She's 4 years old. She poops on the tile floor in the laundry room. She always has had problems with pooping because of her long hair that we end up cutting "dingles" out of regularly. But now the peeing thing is really getting old, even though it's also on the tile and not the carpet. Let me know what we can do about her?
A: Before determining that this is a behavior problem, take your cat to the veterinarian and have her checked for any medical issues that could be causing the out-of-the box experiences. Urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes and thyroid are some of the diseases that can cause a cat to urinate outside of the litter box. Parasites, constipation and diarrhea can also cause litterbox aversion.
After your cat has been given a clean bill of health, then we approach the problem as a behavior challenge. Her litterbox aversion is a response to something occurring in her environment. It's important to determine what is causing the behavior and then address those triggers.
It sounds like she initially started not using her cat box because of her long hair. Cats do not like litter and excrement sticking to their fur. I always recommend having longhaired cats trimmed under their tails and the backs of their rear legs. Veterinarians and some groomers should be able to give her a neat back trim on a regular basis.
Excellent litterbox maintenance is mandatory. Boxes need to be large and uncovered. You need one box per cat and one for the house. If she is the only cat, then ideally she should have two boxes available to her, located in different areas of the house so that she has choices. The locations of the boxes are important. They need to be placed in areas where she won't feel trapped. Closets and showers are not good locations for cat boxes. Laundry rooms can be scary places when the appliances cycle. Good locations are places where she has multiple escape routes and has a good view of the whole room and out the door. Also, make sure you scoop the boxes out at least once a day. Avoid scented litters.
I highly recommend that you use an excellent enzyme cleaner to clean up the targeted areas outside the litterbox. Cats will repeatedly go to the bathroom in the same areas unless you clean the targeted area with an excellent enzyme cleaner. I recommend Anti-Icky-Poo.
Please keep in mind that cats who engage in unappreciated behaviors are doing so for a reason. They are not bad cats. Something in their environment is triggering their responses. The first step in solving the problem is to identify the causes or influencers of the behavior and then address the triggers. Please do not punish or yell at cats for unwanted behaviors. Punishment of any kind is inhumane and will result in cats becoming afraid of their people, escalating the behavior and/or developing other unwanted behaviors.
David Valencia, CA
Anti Icky Poo is great, I use it all the time, works fantastic. You can get it online at www.anti-icky-poo.net
Shirley Tucson, AZ
Good information. I'd like to try that Anti-Icky-Poo, wonder if it's available at Petsmart?

Featured Golf News
Slow Play More Unseemly than Long Putters
While the USGA and R&A grabbed headlines a few months ago by proposing a ban on anchored putters, the organizations - along with all the professional tours - should be making concerted efforts to eliminate slow play in golf.
So-called "purists" complained about the putters because they simply don't like the way they look, while alleging that the clubs provide an unfair advantage because the butt end of the putter grip is placed against the body and removes the arms from the swing, thus leading to a more predictable and smoother stroke.
What about the laggards who hold up fields - whether in a big-time tournament or at the public course nearest you? You know what's it like to stand in the fairway and watch - shot-after-shot, hole-after-hole, ad nauseum - the group ahead treating each stroke as if it were going to determine the outcome of a major championship when, in fact, each player in the foursome is trying to avoid a triple-digit score.
Are they being cued to take their bloody good time by the ultra-slow pro-tour players who help set the standards of deportment in golf?
Well, if so, the example shown in the final round on Monday at the Farmers Insurance Open was deplorably typical of a problem that's become the bane of the game. No less a personage that Tiger Woods - the tournament's eventual winner - was affected by the dawdling threesome in front of him.
The television cameras showed in agonizingly drowsy detail one of golf's biggest issues as Woods waited, waited and waited as the next-to-last group - Steve Marino, Brad Fritsch and Erik Compton - managed, though not deliberately, to freeze him out, taking four hours to play the final 11 holes. The effect was similar to what happens at the end of basketball games when coaches call timeouts as an opposing player takes a crucial free throw or a football coach who runs onto the field to halt play just before a field-goal kicker attempts the game-winning boot.
"I started losing my patience out there," Woods told reporters later. Despite the lackadaisical trio in front of him, he still managed to secure his seventh title (and eighth overall, including the 2008 U.S. Open) at Torrey Pines. "It was just so friggin' slow. We played just over three hours and nine holes, and three of them are par-3s. It's like, come on, you know. I started losing my patience a little bit, and that's when I made a few mistakes.
"The group ahead of us was a hole behind most of the entire back nine," Woods added. "I don't know if they were warned or not or they were timed. But we were just playing slow. We were just having to wait on every shot."
For well over the past decade golf has been losing players, not gaining them. The primary reasons for people shifting their focus to other activities are pretty simple: the game's cost and it takes too much time to play. Even with the decreased numbers of golfers, five-hour rounds on busier municipal facilities are de rigueur.
Earlier in 2008, Woods ended a monthly newsletter by saying, "I would like to talk about slow play. It's been an ongoing problem on the PGA Tour for a long time." When asked about an update on his view of the problem at last May's Players Championship, Woods called the situation "worse."
Just before that tournament PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said his organization was going to "experiment with penalty shots" as a way to address slow play. Then he added an ominous caveat. "But I don't think penalty shots make a difference, to be honest with you."
As Associated Press golf writer Doug Ferguson so poignantly pointed out, "How would he know?"
Ferguson was referring to the last time a one-shot penalty was assessed on a slow player, Glen Day, in the 1995 Honda Classic. Three years before Dillard Pruitt also received a one-stroke penalty at the Byron Nelson Championship. (In an ultimate irony, Pruitt is now a Tour official who carries a stopwatch to monitor the players' pace of play.)
In that same Ferguson article (http://www.pga.com/news/pga-tour/slow-play-still-big-problem-pga-tour-two-decades-after-last-penalty), Luke Donald was quoted as saying, "Slow play is killing our sport."
U.S. Open champion, Geoff Ogilvy, also noted that because of the Tour's reluctance to make laggards pay by docking them penalty strokes there's a cavalier attitude by some players, who don't feel they need to do anything other than to take their normal tortoise-like approach.
"When I first came out and someone told me to hurry up, I got all flustered and was rushing," Ogilvy told Ferguson last year. "Now, it's a laugh. Yeah, we'll try. But some guys don't even try because (officials) don't do anything. I bet if you polled the Tour, half the fast players would say, 'Give me penalties,' just to scare everyone."
Former Tour regular and long-time on-course TV reporter Roger Maltby offered Ferguson a simple solution to the problem. ''Hand them their cards on the first tee and say, 'If you bring this back to us in less than four hours, you can take a stroke off your score.' Let's see how that works.''
Something must be done. During Monday's telecast of the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open, the CBS Sports' crew of Jim Nance, Nick Faldo, David Feherty, Peter Kostis, Gary McCord, et al each railed against the poky proceedings.
Maybe they needed to catch a flight and were concerned that the unnecessarily drawn-out final round would force them to alter their travel plans.
Much more likely though, they - along with millions of interested onlookers, including me - were getting fed up with the dilly-dallying that now infects the professional tours and is undermining golf in general.
Taking away a popular club from average golfers isn't going to rehabilitate golf. But doing something about accelerating the pace of play just might.

CHARLES TOWN - Good fortune shadowed Chester "Chet" Hines from the time he enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1969 through his 19-month tour in the Vietnam conflict.
"I decided to take my chances in the regular service," said Hines, after withdrawing from helicopter piloting school that he initially chose after enlisting. Hines didn't wait for a draft card.
That decision saved the 56-year-old Jefferson County man more than four years of military duty and the evident battle scars sustained by his flight instructors.
So after training in Louisiana and Texas, Hines, then 20, left his wife and 1-year-old boy at home, for Vietnam. As a quartermaster, he was charged with keeping inventory and direct exchange of parts - everything from tank equipment to artillery - in large warehouses that were part of the U.S. military's large installation at Cam Ranh Bay. Upon arriving in the civil war-torn country, Hines was told that once he got off the plane to duck his head and start running for a bunker. And that's what he did.
"There's nothing distinguished about what I did over there," Hines said in a recent interview at the real estate office he manages outside of Charles Town off U.S. 340.
He downplayed his military service, despite earning the rank of Specialist Fifth Class and being charged with directing five to six other soldiers to facilitate support of the military engagement with the Viet Cong.
Hines said he doesn't talk much about his wartime experiences and didn't believe his merits and honors were worth mentioning for this story.
"I don't like to deal in the past that much," Hines said.
Still, he and others assigned to the U.S. Army's maintainence companies also were enemy targets, withstanding mortar and rocket fire. Charges, known as "zappers," were thrown into a warehouse on at least one occasion.
Hines laughed when he recalled how one of his guys was awarded the bronze star because he had led the men to safety while under attack.
He simply ran the fastest, Hines said.
"I was just glad to get out of there," Hines said. "I don't regret going ... I have no desire to go back. I understand it's a tourist mecca now. It's something ..."
While serving, Hines said it was particularly difficult to be separated from his wife and son. He'd write letters every week and receiving mail was a godsend.
"Something from home connected you to the real world," Hines said.
Amid the drudgery of counting the days until he would go home, there were lighter moments, Hines said.
He celebrated his 21st birthday in Vietnam, but the details were not forthcoming.
"You don't want to put that down," he said laughing.
He also received his first ever speeding ticket in Vietnam while driving a "deuce and a half" (two and a half ton) truck. He was not sure exactly how fast he was going, but Hines was cited nonetheless.
"I wish I kept it and framed it," he said. "At least it didn't show up on my record."
Hines said he made a lot of friends, but he doesn't believe he's seen any of them since returning home.
Because his nickname was easily misunderstood to be Chad, Hines changed it to "Dunkin.'
"All of my buddies over there knew me as Dunkin' Hines," Hines said.
A few months after returning home in October 1970, Hines landed a job with the CIA, commuting to Maclean, Va., from Jefferson County before retiring in 2000.
Aside from his real estate work, Hines is commander of American Legion Post 71 in Charles Town. He served as commander of about 600 member group for six years, but recruiting new members is more difficult with younger veterans
"It's different nowadays," Hines said. World War II veterans "seem to be a tighter bunch."
"To me when you look back ... Vietnam was a lot of wasted lives and you didn't accomplish anything," he said.
"I feel for those guys over there in Iraq."

Awwww, thank you, Vera! Tokyo is an amazing city, so unique, so remarkable!Delete
This is beyond wonderful!! I cannot stop taking deep *sighs* when reading and looking to every single beautiful picture from this post! The love for Tokyo, the culture and the attractions … contagious! Thank you for taking us in this trip with you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for the lovely comment, Mike! We love this giant so much! :)Delete
Beautiful images! I keep hearing about cat cafe's, and still cannot wrap my head around them.ReplyDeleteReplies
Haha, they are cafes elevated to the most purrfect state :) We wanted to go to one for so long... but you have to see it to believe it! With so many cat lovers all over the world it is just strange to us the concept didn't pick up in the west as well.Delete
Gorgeous pics. I am going to link to this page from my blog right now... Good work!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Maryanne! You are too kind!Delete
What...no Disney? Ok, I'm kidding, but I would love to visit Tokyo Disney. Of course, I'd just love to visit Tokyo period:)ReplyDeleteReplies
We didn't make it to Tokyo Disney unfortunately. But I'm not sure I would have included in the list anyways because it's not really all that Japanese at core. Probably the Hello Kitty theme park should have been included, but we haven't visited it either, so there's no way to know.Delete
Wow your photos are amazing - you really highlight the magical essence of Tokyo in this post. I agree, there is nowhere in the world like Tokyo. It is a place that everyone should try and visit.ReplyDelete
Thank you also for checking out my blog - linking mine to yours as I love it!
Thank you, Ciara! Tokyo is a magical place indeed and its people are the key element.Delete
- Eleanor KJanuary 5, 2013 at 10:59 AM
I want to go to Japan so badly. This is such an inspirational post!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yay! Happy to inspire you, Eleanor!Delete
Tokyo is probably my favorite city, too. I lived there for a year and really liked the Ikebukuro neighborhood a lot. It's kind of gritty, but it has Japan's biggest bookstore, the formerly tallest building, a couple of parks and a ton of tiny restaurants, especially ramen shops. And I love ramen.ReplyDeleteReplies
We 'accidentally' booked our hotel in Ikebukuro so we explored this neighborhood quite a lot. It's one of Tokyo's best and the ramen shops are good priced and the plates generous. Loved taking the elevator ride in Sunshine 60 :)Delete
I am getting more and more interested in Tokyo, whoever I spoke to told the same.. it can not be a coincidence. Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Tokyo is fascinating and there are so many things to see and do here. Definitely worth visiting.Delete
Beautiful photographs and narrative. I always pictured japan as the place with most beautiful cherry blossoms in the world, however, this post is very inspiring and tells a rookie like me more about it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing the info,
Oh, Japan is so much more than cherry blossoms, Raji! However, we would love next time we visit to do it in spring so we could see the beautiful cherry trees in bloom too. Getting goose bumps just thinking about all the photos we could take :)Delete
Bookmarked for my next trip to Tokyo!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yay! When are you going?Delete
Ohh, I wish I had known about the cat cafes on my trip to Tokyo, I would have LOVED to go to one of those! Ahh, next time, right?! I attended one of the traditional Japanese style bathhouses in Tokyo, which was quite an experience, too! http://www.usedyorkcity.com/2012/07/11/memoirs-of-a-japanese-bathhouse/ReplyDeleteReplies
You must go back to Japan to experience a cat cafe, Jess! :) I didn't go to a traditional bathhouse... My inner geisha is sad now :(Delete
Seems you had a great time!ReplyDelete
I visited Tokyo for 7 days during my trip to Japan in April 2010 and loved it. You're so right, despite the city being so big, it is surprisingly fast to get around from place to place by train or subway.
Good picks for your top things to do... I did all of them except the cat cafe :PReplies
I'm a crazy cat lady so I definitely couldn't have missed the cat cafes...Delete
Even now it is difficult for me to grasp the vastness of Tokyo though. As we moved from one place to another mostly underground, it didn't seem as big as it is in reality.
- MercedesJanuary 9, 2013 at 12:02 PM
Tokyo really is a wonderful mixture of past and contemporary! Finding another city like this is quite impossible.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think so too, Mercedes.Delete
Okay, I don't think I've ever truly considered jaunting to Tokyo before. Sort of. I mean, if the chance arose I'd never say no. However, after learning of cat cafes? Oh hell yeah! I want to go experience that!!!! Had to pin that to my Animulies board. Too awesome!ReplyDeleteReplies
Cat cafes are a super cool idea, aren't they?Delete
Bookmarked for when I finally make it to Japan... I want to save up loads of money first for a massive shopping spree! :DReplyDeleteReplies
I am with you on this one, Jade! While we discovered Tokyo is not all that expensive (Oslo for example seemed more expensive), a girl definitely needs a shopping budget for Tokyo. There are so many cute and sexy things you can buy! I am a bit sad my shopping budget was somehow limited, but I will totally make up for it next time :)Delete
Favorite city in the world over Paris? Now that's an endorsement. I'm hoping to get to Tokyo someday and see the places in your terrific photos.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I think it has something to do with how incredibly different everything is. Tokyo is such a wonderful mixture of old and modern! It's impossible to find anything quite like it anywhere else.Delete
This is a useful compilation! I have a friend who is working in Tokyo now and he's inviting me to come over. I need to save up though since I feel that traveling in Tokyo is as expensive as gallivanting in Paris!ReplyDeleteReplies
Fingers crossed you'll get there soon! :) But honestly, Tokyo is just as expensive as you want it to be.Delete
Let's add up the Giant Gundam Statue in Tokyo JapanReplyDeleteReplies
We only saw the one in Kobe, but oh my, what a sight! Crazy!Delete
so so so awesome! Japan is very high on my to go list and this makes it even biggerReplyDeleteReplies
Japan and Tokyo in particular are great. You should totally go and I'm sure you will love it.Delete
I would love to visit the Manga shop since I like to read anime series! I started collecting manga when I was still in high school and I have tons of it on my cabinet.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh, wow, then you would appreciate the manga shops even more than I did. I don't read manga, so for me it was more in the category of cultural studies :)Delete
I have been to Tokyo many times, but my favorite place is Kamakura. It's about an hour ride on train. Right by the beach, big Buddha, and such different feeling from being in the city. Highly recommend it.ReplyDeleteReplies
You are right, Kamakura is a wonderful place, and so different from Tokyo. And while I appreciate a quiet day from time to time, I feel that Tokyo, in all its diversity, is the one must see place in Japan above any other.Delete
Wonderful top 10 places to see in Tokyo! I wish I could visit Japan sooner rather than later... Fingers crossed.ReplyDeleteReplies
I hope so too. Japan is an amazing country and Tokyo is a city like no other. This list of places to visit in Tokyo is just the beginning, believe me!Delete
Thanks for talking up this amazing city. I hear there are also niche restaurants/bars on the outskirts of the city, five and six seat affairs where a few people gather for hours, drinking each other under the bamboo table. I think the area is Shinjuku Golden Gai, if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I studied SGI buddhism some years back and Taiseki-ji @ Mt. Fuji was all the rave. It was lauded as a must visit. Anyone actually been to Fuji?ReplyDeleteReplies
Sorry, Jackson, my husband and I haven't made it to Mt Fuji this time, but with a bit of luck, we will next year. There are many curiosities and habits in Tokyo that a tourist would rather see as an attraction in themselves.Delete
Seriously how good is Japan! I agree, Tokyo is amazing, as is the rest of Japan. The people, culture, landmarks, ski, rail network, it has it all. I really like your photos - Thanks for sharing your stories.ReplyDelete
Hi there Laura,ReplyDelete
Wonderful blog! I am planning on going to Tokyo myself in January. For a very limited time (4days, 3 night), I wanted to make the most of it. Is it possible to get to these places with the limited time I have? Where is the most convenient spot most accessible to the spots you pointed out?
Gio here.Replies
Hi Gio,Delete
These attractions are spread all over Tokyo, but starting the day early and making use of the public transportation system, it is possible to see everything in 3 or 4 days. However, if you are jet legged, you might not get to see much during the first day. Have fun in Tokyo, it's a wonderful city!!
Nice! I so want to visit Tokyo at night. So cool!ReplyDeleteReplies
Tokyo is amazing both during the day and during the night. There are so many interesting places to see in Tokyo... plus the atmosphere... oh, the atmosphere!Delete
Great list of places one must see in Tokyo!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Ginger! I'm happy you enjoyed reading about my favorite attractions in Tokyo.Delete
The photos are all nice! Thank you for these shots! Shibuya's my favorite, because it made me remember the scene in Death Note. Do they really get to watch news from a large TV attached on a building facade? hihi. I'm glad you had fun there!ReplyDelete
- NathalieOctober 3, 2013 at 11:29 PM
Shibuya is one of my favorite places in Tokyo as well. It has a vibe that is all its own. I loved the feeling of being in a fast moving place and yes, compared to the rest of Tokyo, things in Shibuya do seem to move extra fast. Maybe it's the prevalence of giant screens that add to the people moving all over that makes the pace seem like it is constantly on the go.ReplyDelete
Great list wonder if you have done something like that for UAE?ReplyDeleteReplies
Nope. We haven't been to the UAE.Delete
- AnonymousOctober 22, 2013 at 10:58 AM
You have to go to Super Potato video game store in Tokyo... 4 big floors filled with every video game ever made... Awesome!ReplyDeleteReplies
Interesting suggestion!Delete
Lovely pics! I'm planning to visit very soon and this was helpful to read :)ReplyDelete
Did the rail pass you bought cover all types of transportation (like subway too) ?Replies
The JR pass covers only JR lines, but in large cities the JR trains have multiple stops and its really easy to move around.Delete

I hope you'll visit Tokyo soon. It's amazing!Delete
It was very well explained reviews. Japan is one of the great cultured country in the world. They have manga culture and other interesting unique cultures. By reading this reviews, I've very tempted to go to Japan. Thanks for the great explanation in this post.ReplyDelete
Shibuya crossing!!! the most famous crossing in the world! Shibuya area is definitely a one of the best thing to do in Tokyo. with the 109, Loft, and all the cool shops! And hachiko!!!ReplyDelete
Really great!!!Replies
It was so hard for me to leave Shibuya's shops behind! Can't wait to go back to Tokyo and next time I'll make sure to bring an extra luggage ;)Delete
I would definitely be up for the temples and people watching. Japanese people are great!ReplyDeleteReplies
True! People watching in Tokyo is quite exotic :) That's why Yoyogi Park is one my favourite places to go in Tokyo.Delete

Ellen Page Didn't Lie About Her Sexuality: Jane Lynch
In her speech at Friday's Time to THRIVE conference benefitting LGBT youth, Page said she was "tired of lying by omission."
Joining the long list of celebrities who are applauding Page's decision to speak out, the Glee star told PEOPLE on Saturday that she can easily relate to the pressure the young actress has faced.
"When I was younger, I lied by omission. She should give herself a break and not call it 'lying,' " Lynch, who is also openly gay, told PEOPLE during the Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards in Hollywood.
"But I know what it is to feel like you can't be open and honest about your orientation. Good for her!"
Following Page's announcement, celebrities took to Twitter to praise the Oscar-nominated actress for her powerful speech.
"Thank you @HRC and everyone for all the love and support. X," Page Tweeted on Friday.

Summer with your shutter : shoot against the sun19 33
At first I always avoid to shoot against the sun until one day I saw an incredible ray of light. Since that I always shoot against the sun if it's ray of light or spectacular sunset/sunrise at the sky.
Use any of your fave lomography camera, such as fisheye 2. I always passing through this monument lamp which remind me of shark fin. When I snap it I didn't realized if I shoot it against the sun and it made a lovely dot line light bokeh look a like from the sun.
If you travel a lot with plane it's so fun to shoot against the sun through the window of the plane. The sun is the most powerful light source in our life. And the light is like the air to photography. If it's rain, be patient because nowaday it's so hard to predict the weather (especially in Indonesia
__). Be ready and preparing your analogue camera (the beautiful flight attendant will not complain if you explain to her that your camera did not contain the equipment which can annoyed the communication between cockpit and the airport monitor)
Keep looking above and you will find adorable scenery upside your boring town. Unfortunately I don't have super tele(scope) lens to shoot that morning moon which exactly above the morning sun.
I'm just lucky had a chance to snap the sunset at the red sea, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia last year. Unfortunately the lightleak ruin the perfect scenery. Maybe you can covered the lightleak source with two of your hand at the both side of the lens.
Shoot against the sun can make your architecture photo more stronger and make the shape of the architecture element sharpness.
Dark place with a little bit small hole for the sun light source is one of the best place to shoot against the sun.
Cotton candy cloud is my most favoritew cloud. I learn that this kind of cloud will appear in the morning if last night the rain fall very heavy. Shoot against the sun below my fave cotton candy cloud is one of my fave cloud photo.
Bored with single shoot? Try double or multiple exposure when shoot against the sun, don't forget to shoot an interesting object to completing so so typical boring sunset/sunrise photo.
Found some exotic shape object and frame the delectable circle sun light to make a new multiple interpretation silhouette object, just like I did with this iconic Patung Kuda, near Ngurah Rai airport, Bali, Indonesia. I'm just lucky to get this sunset at my last day in Bali early this year because since I visit Bali for spent a new years holiday until one week later, it always heavy rain in Bali.

Microsoft has launched their response to the iPad—the Surface tablet—along with a special version of their operating system (Windows 8 RT) that runs on an ARM processor. A lot is riding on this project for Microsoft; the previous version of Windows-based tablets never really caught on, and after years of watching Apple sell millions of iPads, Redmond has finally responded with a product they hope will be considered cutting-edge and the new epitome of cool.
So why compare it to a mullet?
Before we even knew what the Surface would look like, I suspected that their angle of attack against the iPad would be that the Apple product was fine if you wanted to play around, consuming content—but if you wanted to work, why then you'd need the Microsoft Office suite. Only Word, Excel, and PowerPoint would do for the serious businessman, right? And now MS has just the thing you're looking for.
In their recent print ads for Windows 8 and Surface, though, MS wants you to know that this is the tablet for work and play. They mention Netflix, Angry Birds, email, and of course, PowerPoint. Well, nothing wrong with that, of course; tell people you have the popular apps they want (while trying to encourage more developers for the new platform to overcome Apple's huge base of iPad apps, and don't mention that this version of the Surface won't run third party desktop Windows apps). But the tagline they've chosen in the ad is a killer:
"It's business in the front, and party in the back." Which is how one described a mullet, the infamous hairdo featuring a short cut on the forehead, with cascading waves down the shoulders on the back. It's a style so divisive and stereotyped that there's a documentary about it. Now, I'm not here to mock those who rock the mullet—I'm from central Ohio, after all—but when you think bleeding edge, cool, and professional, it's not the first style choice that comes to mind.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Is it possible they didn't know? That an intern wrote it on the white board while they were spitballing, as a joke, and then was too terrified to say anything when it got included in the ad copy? Or does Microsoft marketing, who gave us Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld, the Laptop Hunters, and the belated and lame "I'm a PC" campaign simply think that these are good ideas?
Apple, of course, recently had an ad misstep with their "Genius" ads: attempting to show how helpful their Apple Store staff could be, it struck most people as portraying Apple users as idiots. Apple removed the ads from the web and went back to their minimalist campaign focusing on the product themselves.

aka Dan the Jew, very similar to a hot lunch, but in stead of the cling wrap, you use a dollar bill that you snorted cocaine with out of someones asshole. When you fill this "low income pocket" you use a funnel to spray enraged ass piss into the one dollar holler and then after you need to cut yourself; in a none so vital area. Then you drip blood into the ass piss concoction for a truly deeper connection to your partner. And then after you finish preparing the the one dollar holler than you proceed to face fuck the partner into an oblivion and right before you blow your "duck butter" into the mouth of the waiting recipient you pop the one dollar holler and let it all run wild! After the party is letting loose like a puetro rican fiesta you judo chop your partner in the throat and let them vomit that triple D out!

Acrostic For Nichiren - Poem by Harley White
Nichiren, all that you say is true!
I've have seen your light; I will follow you,
Carry on sounding that phrase profound,
Hold to my faith, till death comes around!
I Nam devote my life, my I, to Myōhō the Utterness Dharma, pervaded by Renge the lotus-like workings of mutual cause and effect concurrently, in its Kyō inherent whereabouts of all manifold manifestations… aye… I recite this fathomless title and theme
Reverently, to awake from the dream…
Ever seeking enlightenment… so I go…
Nestled in Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō…
Poet's Notes about The Poem
Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō means to devote our lives to and found them on (Nam[u]) the Utterness of the Dharma (Myōhō) [entirety of existence] permeated by the underlying white lotus flower-like mechanism of the interdependence of cause, concomitancy and effect (Renge) in its whereabouts of the ten [psychological] realms of dharmas (Kyō) .

Sonomicrometry is a technique of measuring the distance between piezoelectric crystals based on the speed of acoustic signals through the medium they are embedded in. Typically, the crystals will be coated with an epoxy 'lens' and placed into the material facing each other. An electrical signal sent to either crystal will be transformed into sound, which passes through the medium, eventually reaching the other crystal, which converts the sound into electricity, detected by a receiver. From the time taken for sound to move between the crystals and the speed of sound in the medium, the distance between the crystals can be calculated.
Sonomicrometry was originally applied in the study of cardiac (heart) function in research animals (and limited investigational studies in humans) by Dean Franklin in 1956, and was quickly adopted by biologists working in biomechanics as well as other physiological organ systems and structures (gastro-intestinal, uro-genital and musculo-skeletal). Medical device companies also use sonomicrometry to assess the physical performance, durability and longevity of devices during R&D phase of development. Sonomicrometry is currently the most prevalent method for determining muscle length changes during animal locomotion, feeding, and other biomechanical functions.
When originally developed decades ago, care was taken to orient the crystals correctly to ensure satisfactory signal detection between the crystals, but more modern versions of sonomicrometer hardware (typically dating from 1995 to the present) do not require such attention to crystal orientation.
The primary criteria for making sonomicrometer measurements is that the intervening space or material between the crystals must be capable of ultrasonic sound conduction in the frequency range of 100 kHz to at least several MHz. This typically means that the crystals must operate in or on a medium composed of fluids, gels, soft solids and some hard solids, and this includes biological tissues (blood, muscle, fat, etc.). The measurement of distance between crystals becomes problematic or ceases completely if air gaps or solid objects intervene between the crystals.
Sonomicrometer measurements are only accurate when the medium surrounding the crystals or the object the crystals are measuring has a uniform speed of sound. In biological settings, almost all tissues have a speed of sound in the range of 1550 to 1600 meters per second, which is satisfactorily uniform to give accurate measurements to within 3% to 4%, and more typically to within 1%.
A sonomicrometer device measures distance by performing a timing measurement of the sound transmitted by one crystal and received by one (or more) adjacent crystals. The ability to resolve small differences in this transit-time (or "time-of-flight") directly correlates with the ability to resolve small changes in the distances between crystals. The first generation of sonomicrometer devices were analog devices that integrated the time-of-flight as a voltage ramp function. Their resolution was a function of the slope of the ramp and the electrical noise of system components. Those systems output the length measurements as an analog voltage. The second generation of sonomicrometer devices were digital—they measure time-of-flight by incrementing high-speed digital counters. Typically these are 12 to 16-bit counters operating from 32 to 128 MHz. A digital system will output length measurements in form of a digital number (the time-of-flight count value). Because of their digital nature, the resolution can be exactly specified as a function of counter clock frequency. For example, when making measurements in biological tissue at body temperature (velocity = 1,590 m/s), a digital sonomicrometer operating with a clock speed of 128 MHz will have a spatial resolution of 12 micrometres.
Sonomicrometry is often used in studies of human and animal physiology where precise distances at high temporal resolution are needed, particularly when such distances are not externally measurable. Sonomicrometry crystals are most commonly implanted within skeletal or cardiac muscle tissue to track length changes during an activity (heartbeat, flapping a wing, chewing, etc.). However, they can be very useful for tracking movement of entire structures which are not visible but immersed in fluid, such as the bones in the mouth of a fish during feeding.

Well into One Nation Under Dog, HBO's revealing but difficult documentary about our deep bonds with canine companions, we reach a point that is nearly too awful to watch.
With plenty of warning to viewers, the film shows what happens at an animal shelter's last stop — a fate met by a couple of million dogs each year in the United States. A half-dozen dogs are set into a large metal box. They seem eerily resigned to this moment; no snapping, no squirming, no escape attempts. The lid is shut and sealed, and a worker twists the gas valve. The screams from inside the box are ghastly.

Subaru WRX 2008, Control Towers Foot Pack by Yakima®. These towers were designed to support Yakima round cross bars on vehicles with factory adjustable roof tracks or fixed mounting points, or if a permanent installation is desired. They're super easy to remove and install, but installation requires vehicle specific landing pads (sold separately) to ensure proper fit. Constructed with a powder coated steel superstructure and glass reinforced nylon shell, Control Towers can be locked to the vehicle to prevent theft with the optional SKS lock cores and keys. Sold in sets of 2 or 4 towers, to mount one or two crossbars, the Control Towers Foot Pack comes with installation instructions and cross bar end caps.
- Creates solid, stable roof rack mounting on vehicles with factory adjustable tracks, fixed mounting points, or for a permanent installation
- Can also be used to mount cross bars on truck caps, tent trailers, RVs, or boats
- Designed for use with Yakima round cross bars (sold separately)
- Requires vehicle specific and mounting specific Landing Pads (sold separately)

Some vehicles come from the factory with tracks mounted on the roof. These tracks run parallel to the sides of the vehicle and are designed to mount a roof rack. A track mounted roof rack gives you the versatility to position the cross bars as required to provide the best support for the gear you're carrying. The rack feet can be loosened and moved in the tracks to position the cross bars as desired. Other vehicles have rack mounting points built into the roof and these can be accessed by removing the covers from the mounting locations. The Yakima Control Towers Foot Pack is specifically designed for this type of mounting, but they can also be used when a permanent roof rack mounting is being created.
Control Towers are quick and easy to remove and install, but vehicle specific Landing Pads are required. These are sold separately but are necessary to ensure a custom fit for your vehicle. Pads are also available for establishing a permanent attachment base and for installing Control Towers onto truck caps, tent trailers, RVs, or boats. Constructed with a powder coated steel superstructure and glass reinforced nylon shell, and designed to support Yakima round crossbars (not included), Control Towers can be locked to prevent theft with the purchase of optional SKS (Same Key System) lock cores and keys.
The Control Towers Foot Pack is sold in sets of 2 or 4 towers, to mount one or two crossbars, and come with detailed, illustrated installation instructions and crossbar end caps. They're backed by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Yakima® Products, of Beaverton, Oregon is one of the world's largest manufacturers of cargo and recreational equipment carrying solutions.
