June 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
Hey Home Community,
It's June! Summer is here, it's (hopefully) warm everywhere, and E3 is this month!
Let me get down to business—
Helpful hints to post the best suggestions:
1) Your top Virtual Item requests from games or general items. A Virtual Item is pretty much anything in Home you can own (clothing, figurines, furniture, etc.) but cannot live in (like Personal Spaces).
2) Visual aids AKA screenshots! If you can find a screenshot of what you want, please include these! That old saying, "A picture is worth 1000 words," could not be truer. You all do a great job. Keep throwing suggestions and pics our way! Thanks in advance for collecting images, reference art, etc. to best illustrate just what you're talking about.
P.S.: If you are new to these forums (or just new to this process), check last month's suggestion thread to see how your fellow community members submit their requests.
P.P.S.: Continuing the effort to keep this thread tidy, please refrain from making commentary about other suggestions in this thread. Simply copy/paste and begin another thread to start a conversation about a particular item, suggestion, concept or idea.

Re: June 2013 Suggestions!
I know the community already asked for better "items sorting/storage" but here is what came to my mind this morning sorting out my stuff from storage and finding I have so much stuff I love but just can't keep on my "regular" storage.
Different "main" setup. No need for 2nd level storage or "items reference" wich can't be created for older items. Only 3 or 5 "tabs" in wich we could have a "main wardrobe" as we already know it.
For a reference you could look at GT5 car setup. 3 basic setup from wich you can work on.
Real freedom is the power to say yes.

Re: June 2013 Suggestions!
These are a collection of my ideas for the past few months. I'll just cut and paste my suggestions. Please excuse the "epicness" of this post as I know it is very long:
Since I can't do Home Space suggestions here are some items I would like to see:
Sports Jerseys, Helmets & Masks of actual teams. NHL, NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. Include throwback jerseys of retired & current teams. I especially would like NHL.
Black Metal Corpse Paint and Spiked Gauntlets.
Gothic Officer's Hat with either short or long hair options.
I have long curly hair, so I want long curly hair on here, too. I can't make my character look like me because of this.
Work shirts for the blue collar man with name plate with the ability to input your own name.
Old military outfits from the American Revolutionary & Civil War. I really like the Union uniforms of the Civil War, especially the long coats. Add uniforms for both sides as well as Officer & Infantry.
More facial hair. Examples of facial hair needed: Lemmy Kilmister 'stache & chops combo, Abraham Lincoln 'stacheless beard, Henrik Ibsen huge chops, Billy Gibbons & Dusty Hill long beards, Hulk Hogan 'stache, Rollie Fingers 'stache, Tony Stark goatee. I would also like an alternate to the full beard with the 2 ponytails. I like the jawline on that one, but I would like to remove the ponytails and keep the length. That beard was perfect, but the ponytails. The goofy fake looking pirate beards are crappy. Any other variation of realistic facial as well. Also, make sure the facial hair makes contact with the face! Some of the new ones are floating infront of the face.
Shirts of your favorite bands from classic rock (Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Queen, etc.), hair metal (Van Halen, Scorpions, Motley Crue, Cinderella, etc.), metal (Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, Motorhead), extreme metal (Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, Marduk, Morbid Angel) to other current music from indie to commercial (You fill in the blank here as I don't listen to that).
WWE intro costumes of our favorite wrestlers, past & present. Examples: "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase, The Undertaker, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Edge, John Cena (sucks!), Big Boss Man, Kane, The Mountie, Gangrel, Bret "The Hitman" Hart, etc. Also, I would like to have all of the Championship belts with the option of either having it strapped around the waist, carrying on the shoulder or holding it in your hand at no extra charge.
G. I. Joe costumes. Being able to dress as your favorite, G. I. Joe, Cobra or Dreadnok would be cool, such as Duke, Destro, Cobra Commander, Zartan, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Baronesss, Flint, Gung Ho, Jinx, Monkeywrench, Zandar, Zarana, Roadblock, Shipwreck, Quick Kick, Spirit, Beach Head, etc. Even characters from the toys like the rare Starduster & Steel Brigade as well as some of the Convention Exclusives as Dreadnoks Demolishor & Crusher, Gaucho, Black Major, Red Shadows, Natalie Poole, Oktober Guard, etc.
James Bond villain costumes: Jaws, Oddjob, Baron Semedi, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, Alec Trevelyan, Dr. Julius No, Hugo Drax, Emilio Largo, Le Chiffre, etc. Also add Francisco Scaramanga's Golden Gun.
Costumes from the movie & video game "The Warriors" from all the gangs. Include all individual Warriors and costumes from the Baseball Furies, The Gramercy Riffs, The Rogues, Turnbull ACs, The Orphans, The Lizzies, The Punks, The Boppers, The Hi-Hats, The Hurricanes, Satan's Mothers, The Electric Eliminators, The Saracens, The Jones Street Boys, Van Cortlandt Rangers, The Moonrunners, The Panzers, The Savage Huns, The Destroyers, etc.
Three Stooges Hair: Moe, Larry, Shemp. Maybe with slapstick animation.
Games need to be represented here. I would wish that for every game we buy, we should at least have some clothing from that game for free. Games are pricey, at least give us something to show what our purchases are in PSHome. Another thing, as one progresses through the game, on PSHome, you would unlock a new costume.
The ability to change the hair style under hats.
The ability to switch handedness. I'm left handed and would to like to reflect that with the poses and actions to be reversed as well as switching hands on weapons and other hand items.
Add facial expressions angry, sad, happy, confused, etc. to the dropdown list with poses & dance.
Being able to name saved avatars and have that name replace our PSN name through a "switch name" option. My name doesn't always suit the costume I am wearing and I would like to have a unique name for each costume and have that being shown. If anybody wanted to know our PSN while in disguise, they just look up our profile.
The ability to rearrange your saved avatars, hair & clothing items. I would like to put my most commonly used avatars at the top as apposed to the bottom. Maybe, have the latest used avatar at the top, so you can go back and forth on which you want to use quicker. Also, add more slots. I'm currently at 46 with 2 more left. I didn't think I would run out so quickly.
On top of all that, give us the ability to change the color of our clothing and items.
The ability to have a search option in the navigator store or mall. Say you are looking for a long coat or a trench coat. You type "long coat" on the search browser and all the long coats from all the stores show and you buy the one you want.
Another option would be if you see someone wearing something you like, you could select their name and pick to see what he or she is currently wearing called and then have a link to purchase item from there. This would avoid searching through all the stores to find what you are looking for.
How about the ability to make PlayStation Home two player on the same screen for those of us who share the same PS3 (Thanks to the YLOD I got last year!!!). That way, I can share some of the two player action that's been going on lately on PSHome with my girlfriend at the same time. (Example: Mistletoe kissing that happened during Christmas or the Valentine's Day event).
As far as items go, how about Garbage Pail Kids for costumes or companion, complete with gross animation like farting, throwing up or being extra snotty. Classic GPK's would include Johnny One Note, Ritchie Retch, Leaky Lindsay, Adam Bomb, Bony Tony, Evil Eddie, Wacky Jackie, Rod Wad, Galloping Glen, Max Axe, Large Marge, Dead Ted, Buggy Betty, Stinker Belle, Driftin' Clifton, Mason Mace, etc. There are just so many good ones. If you're too young to know what these guys are, look them up. These were all the rage when I was a kid.
How about a portable closet for your personal home that you can label and store clothing for you avatar that you don't want to carry. A lot of people complain about browsing through their items. I think with a portable closet, you can transfer any clothing you don't want to carry around and leave it in there while you'll just have all the items you use mostly in the wardrobe menu from the Home Navigator. I think this should be at least free, so everyone can start storing unwanted clothing. I think you should be able to label these closets, in case you want to have multiple closets in your personal space. The label you put should be so you can at least remember what you have in there in case you want to get something out and put back in your wardrobe menu from your Home Navigator.
How about assigning companions or locomotions to a particular outfit. When you select an outfit and you want the demon wings on him, it should load automatically, or if you want the raven companion to come out with another outfit, again it should load with that outfit. When you want them gone, just turn them off or remove the assignment.
How about the ability to put in a CD in the PS3 and listen to it while playing around in PS Home. Hell, even access whatever music you have saved in your PS3 to play as well. Some spaces are just boring without music (Core Spaces), or just have terrible music in it (X7 & The Mall), so I would rather listen to my own music.
How about the ability to name our Companions. The Raven is the only one I know that has different names, but all the other ones have the same names or just a description, so let us name our companions, so that we can personalize them to the owners.
Release this little character and his brethren as a companion for people who have Avalon Keep.
How about letting us change the color of ALL facial hair & wigs. I thought we finally had an Abe Lincolnesque beard I've been asking for with the St. Patrick's day bundle, but it turns out you can't change the color of the beard. Please let us change the color of the beards. I was forced to make a Psycho Ginger Dude just so I can use it normally.
Anyway, as you can see I also use a wig you released a couple months ago and was happy that you can change the colors of it. How about letting us change the color of all wigs like the Street Fighter wigs or Castlevania wig. It'll give us the ability to create more unique avatars. Here is a character I made with the Ken wig from Street Fighter. The ability to change it's color would help in making more unique characters
Also, for those prizes that have unique hair and beards with weird head gear, let us have the option of using the hair or beard without the gear. For example, the golf club over the head prize or the spider on the head prize or the seaweed on the head reward or the new leprechaun hat with the thick Lincolnesque beard. These all have unique hair and it should be usable without the extra gear.
How about making the vehicle LMOs faster? They just seem so sluggish when using them compared to their real counterparts.
What I would like to see is maybe games involving your LMOs & Companions. Like a racing game similar to Modnation Racers with power ups with your horse, motorcycle, space fighter, etc. and maybe a battle game like Cutthroat with the tank, space fighter, dragons & wings (which would require any hand held melee weapons already purchased or unlocked from any store or game). As with the companions, maybe a battle game or adventure game involving your companions. Since we already purchased the companions and LMOs, the game would be free and in it's own space for all to join in the fun. I figure the LMOs & companions should be just more than aesthetics, but something we could use to have fun with. If games like these were implemented, they would probably sell more as people will always enjoy games (as long as it's not buggy). Not to mention, it's advertisement for their LMOs & companions. People should be able to watch other people battle and race like a spectator sport.
How about making the camera have the option to be free floating as opposed to be tethered to your character. Sometimes I want to take pictures of my character, but most of him is too low, or when I take a group picture, I want to be able to move the camera to center the characters better
Re: June 2013 Suggestions!
Could we have some long and short socks. But with shoes with different colors and styles.
Also, the shoes have to be with the socks as a foot item...not the socks with the bottoms please
Could we please have a function or radio that lets us play our own music. It would be a really great help to clubs that use music for parties, runways, etc. Also can we pretty please have Assassin's Creed content on home and not just a multiplayer beta....
Also, some clothing, long hair styles, short hair styles
Re: June 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
I second what Ms. Dark suggested. I'd love to see Video Game Related Content from the popular games we love! Especially Resident Evil and Tomb Raider.
Rock n' Roll LMOs featuring real instruments! Such as Guitar, Bass, Vocals and more!
New and improved Salsa Dances!

It's hardly possible to say anything unless you give us some idea of what you intend using the package for. Except that, on the price front, you are going to have to learn to use SAS with your remaining arm and leg. Stata is, to my mind, amazingly cheap. To my mind the question is 'what should we be getting to complement Stata?'. My own tastes run to EDA packages - I currently pre--process data on JMP but do most of the analysis in Stata.

Jeep Dash Waking Up?
I was on my way to bed and just happened to look out at the 2014 GC and noticed from the house that the tach, then LCD lit up for a second, then went back off. One key was where we keep the keys, the other was even farther away in the kitchen. I watched the Jeep for the next few minutes and it was quiet.
We don't lock it at night.
Last time I took it out was three hours ago. Anyone know why this would happen?
Re: Jeep Dash Waking Up?
I have not experienced the exact same thing but, because of something similar, I have been concerned that something like that is happening while the car is parked. In my case, the instrument cluster woke up again after I shut down the car, and exited. It then went to sleep and woke up again, staying on for several minutes. Then it went to sleep, and woke up again.This happened a few times. I was very careful not to touch the door handle after locking the car, so it wasn't a key fob thing.
It hasn't happened in a few days, at least not that I have noticed. As for why it is happening, I have no clue. Maybe Chrysler has developed Skynet and we need to start worrying about a robot revolution.
Re: Jeep Dash Waking Up?
Try walking up to the Jeep with a key in your hand, not unlocking or locking it or grabbing the handle. The Jeep might wake up when it senses the key near (and might time out if it senses you are not entering, which might explain Nomorecars's experience). Maybe the Jeep is briefly sensing the key and waking up, but then loses reception of the key and going back to sleep.
Re: Jeep Dash Waking Up?
They way things keep changing in the system, I wouldn't be surprised if Jeep was pushing small updates. I don't know if they can or would wake up the car to do it.
Is there a Transformers Jeep Grand Cherokee we don't know about?
Re: Jeep Dash Waking Up?
Don't forget the "SINGULARITY"!! :eek:
Ummmmmm NO.
Much of the vehicle lays quietly awake for items such as passive entry. Because the remotes work on RF there is always a great deal of noise. The vehicle likely often has to validate signals that it sees that are on the right frequency and may be a remote. The programmers should not have the gauge cluster lighting up while this goes on though because I imagine it happens regularly.
Just a theory but similar to other equipment I have seen that needs to operate upon detection of an RF frequency.
Either that or fluctuations in the Singularity.
Re: Jeep Dash Waking Up?
My tack and speedometer woke over 24 hours ago and still has not gone to sleep. No combination of locking, unlocking, starting or otherwise has put it back to sleep. This problem along with the climate screen being locked up heads me back to the dealer. :confused:

New kids on the block
Dec. 15 marks the day both free agents who signed contracts this summer and NBA rookies are eligible to be traded. Those players represent nearly a quarter of the players in the league. That explains why doing deals before Wednesday was a little bit difficult.
"Like a lot of teams, we're sitting back with Dec. 15 around the corner, which, for a lot of players, represents a lot more names that can come into the mix," Heat GM Randy Pfund said over the weekend.
It's ironic, really. This summer, the same guys about to go on the trading block were supposed to be the guys who would help put their new teams over the top.
Best-laid plans ...
How can things go so wrong, so quickly? And why do teams think a player will play any differently with a change of scenery?
Today, Insider looks at 10 guys who will be eligible to be traded beginning Wednesday who might be wearing a new uniform by the Feb. 24 trade deadline.

Date of Stay: October, 2010
We loved our stay at this RV park. It was beautiful and well maintained. The owner was kind and attentive. He was always busy and checked in with us every day to make sure we were doing okay. I would highly recommend this RV park to anyone visiting Deadwood and the surrounding area. The owner was also very knowledgeable of the history of Deadwood and told us many stories. We will definitely come here again. We were here for a six day Vietnam reunion, and the owner took care of our every need. There were four couples, and the owner kept the park open till our reunion was over. Again, I would highly recommend this beautiful RV park.
Date of Stay: October, 2010
This is not an RV park; it is a glorified parking lot with electric sites. It rained, and we were in a swamp. There was a museum being built to our left and some sort of a heavy equipment yard to our right. The advertisement that we printed from the internet was misleading, as it stated there were full hookups, which we understood included sewer. The owner was nice enough to refund us 4 of the six days we had paid for. We moved to another park down the street, which was excellent. We would have booked there initially, but it was not supposed to open this time of year.

Album review: David Lynch 'Crazy Clown Time'
Warning: This album is not for the faint-hearted. It's atypical, unpredictable, and a bit uncomfortable. The epitome of an acquired taste.
My journey through filmmaker/television director turned songwriter David Lynch's Crazy Clown Time began with the album art. The black and white, blood-etched hand holding a single red die led me to anticipate some heavy metal and in-your-face electric guitar from horror films like Saw or American Psycho.
With the first track, Pinky's Dream, featuring Karen O of the American indie rock band the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Lynch totally derails any of these presumptions. The album is characterised by psychedelic mood music. It's quite similar to Cliff Martinez's recent songs which appeared in the soundtrack of the American crime thriller Drive. While Karen O's voice is a beautiful sound I generally always welcome, this song was not a winner for me. The lyrics are repetitive and droney and the beat quite dull. But if you wait until the next track…
Good Day Today: You'll be very pleasantly surprised. The song, as Lynch says on the sleeve, is about "being sick of negativity". It's without a doubt the best track on the album. It has a few layers, beginning with a consistent base beat, layered over a droney, high-pitched voice that repeats the line "I want to have a good day today". It introduces a few interesting sounds throughout ranging from gunshots to what sounds like an electric piano mimicking a pipe organ.
So Glad: Isn't as exciting. It's has a much more mello mood, using a consistent drum beat to set the slow tempo.
Noah's Ark: Is characterised by an eerie whisper and repetitive lyrics. It's pretty stagnant throughout until the end where the whisper starts to rise up higher and then the song fades out quite nicely into the next track…
Football Game: Didn't really do much for me. It sounds pretty similar to So Glad. No surprises here …until the abrupt ending.
I Know: Follows up with a lone drum beat. Then slowly another layer of guitar creeps in, and is topped off by a sharp and gritty male voice. It's pretty stagnant throughout.
Strange and Unproductive Thinking: Is certainly strange, but definitely not unproductive. This song feels like the heart and message of the entire album. There's a really interesting back beat created by a slow, consistent bass strum playing underneath an electronic monologue reciting a surrealist philosophical essay. This track is one to be listened to while reading along with the lyrics – it'll make you think.
Then you can take a break with the next track, The Night Bell with Lightning which is entirely instrumental and pretty similar in tone to the rest of the album.
Stone's Gone Up: A bit more upbeat. Once you think you've got it figured out a whispering voice enters in and changes the entire mood. It's definitely a head bopper though, especially once the chorus kicks in.
Crazy Clown Time: The album's namesake was a bit underwhelming. The high-pitched voice and moaning playing underneath a very basic drum beat was boring, and well, kind of uncomfortable.
These Are My Friends: This has a sort of melancholic tone. It seems to be a slow electronic twist of a country song, with its story-telling lyrics and delivery. Eh. Made me get up and grab a coffee.
Speed Roadster: It has a similar vibe. Didn't do much for me to be honest.
Movin' On: A bluesy Joanna Newsome-esq feel. Kinda cool. Nothing revolutionary.
She Rise Up: Has some particularly beautiful moments. While it begins sort of slow, with monotone electronic synth vocals layed over a consistent beat, about three minutes in, the song itself seems to rise and open up. It's a great end to the album.
Conclusion: I think this whole album is something you could play from start to finish in the background of a great conversation. It helps create a mello mood, without dominating the space you're in.
The album is far from normal, relying on entirely atypical structures. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it either. There are certainly some gems like Good Day Today and Strange and Unproductive Thinking I'll add to my music rotation, but many of the songs, though different from mainstream indie and electro-synth are very similar to one another.
Going into this album, I expected to experience…something. David Lynch is a weird guy, he's brilliant no doubt, but utterly strange. He's known for his surrealist, eerie style in films such as The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet. Musically, he's worked with American composer Angelo Badalamenti in Twin Peaks, pianist Marek Zebrowski with Inland Empire and Sparklehorse and Danger Mouse in Dark Night of the Soul.
The work was also reviewed by the New York Times, which includes an interview with Lynch who told him the high-pitched voice in some songs felt like "[…] some other character comes in and is singing".
Long story short – this album, is unique, in that it's entirely a 'Lynchian' endeavor – if you're looking to get weird, you've come to the right place.
Rating: 5/10.

Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Questions

Gas gauge stays on empty. Have replaced tank.
This is supposedly bad and affecting the alarm system. after replacing the back up battery, can I adjust the alarm system?
After parking car, I push key fob to lock car/set alarm and the lights flash and flash, once until the battery died. Are the back up battery and alarm battery one in the same?
it will not line up with the back window, unless I put the window down and let it back up then it will line
and which fuse goes in it?
the alternator/battery light will not shut off. the car will not run continueoulsy.
rear wheel bearing needs replacement, and the roof is leaking at front wind shield and we can open the roof.
the plug number is 038-545-71-28 what does it plug into after the 3rd brake light to give the 3rd brake light power
I have 2005 CLK320 with a bad engine control module, had the same problem with the car in the beginning of this year, the cooling fan run on high constantly and tells me to "Visit Coolant Work Shop." Sent the ECM in and had it reprogramed and fixed the problem, it reoccurred with the same problem cooling radiator fan running on high constantly and tells me to "Visit Coolant Work Shop," so sent it back in and they could not repair it this time. My question is, can I take an ECM from a donor car (salvage) and replace my old ECM with that one. If so, what else would I have to do besides also switching the key and ignition switch? Would I have to change anything else, like the truck locks or door locks, etc.….? Thanks!

Windows will go down but the top will not go down. Have checked the luggage rack and it is stationery.

My clk radio code reset wait
Happens all the time
I checked the hose it's not busted idk what else to do
My convertible top got stuck, almost in the fully closed position (roof up), apparently due to a linkage problem. This caused the hydraulic system to blow a seal, or burst a hose, or something like that. I have no keys for this car, only the remote. The trunk won't open from the inside button, or wit.h the remote, because the top is not fully seated. How to get in there?

'Toy Story', 'The Incredibles', 'Toy Story 2', 'Monsters Inc', 'Finding Nemo' 'Wall-E', 'Up', 'Ratatouille', 'Toy Story 3' - just what is the best Pixar film? It's an argument that has inspired debate among film fans for years and one that only has because of the undeniable quality of the studio's output.
There seems to be a lot of negativity towards the company at the moment and a general disappointment in their recent films. Some even say the company is in trouble and turning to sequels to help bail themselves out.
Well that's all a load of rubbish, and here's why.
[Pixar's Toy Story of Terror coming to Sky Movies]
'Toy Story 3' only came out three years ago
Pixar's hot streak came to an end in 2010 with the release of the third 'Toy Story' adventure. It was a huge success creatively and commercially, a wonderful and emotional film loved by all who saw it.
To say Pixar were held in high esteem would be an understatement. They had helped create a golden era of animation not seen since the early Disney days and there weren't enough adjectives in the English language to describe just how wonderful they were during that period.
That was only three years ago. In the time since, 'Cars 2' has been labelled cynical, 'Brave' a misstep and 'Monsters University' has been divisive. That said each still has its fans, which brings me onto my next point.
[Pixar's greatest ever montage sequences]
How many bad films have Pixar actually made?
When I say bad, I mean genuinely bad, not just comparatively. A lot of people judge the work of Pixar against all that came before it. Films should be judged on what they are and not on what the studio has done before.
The past successes or failures of a studio shouldn't inform what people think of their latest output. 'Brave' was good! 'Monsters Univeristy' was even better. No, they weren't classics and 'University' wasn't a patch on the original, but they were still at the very least decent films.
Review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes backs this up. 'Monsters University' and 'Brave' both have a 78% rating on the site. No they're not up there with the studio's best work, but they're still considered good and were successes.
'Cars 2' was definitely naff though.
[Pixar's top 5 speechless characters]
The future is bright
Next year sees the release of 'The Good Dinosaur', which tells the story of an enormous Apatosaurus befriending a human boy. This will be followed up in 2015 by 'Up' director Pete Docter's 'Inside Out', which is set entirely inside a young girl's mind - which is certainly one of the most intriguing Pixar concepts ever.
Then, in a rare double bill, Pixar will also release 'Nemo' sequel 'Finding Dory' in November 2015. Pixar sequels get a hard time because they seen as cash-grabs first and foremost, but as sequels go this one is shaping up well with the original cast all returning and the original director Andrew Stanton also back in the chair.
2016's release will be based on the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Little else is known about it, but it's the third original film out of four on Pixar's slate.
To say Pixar are creatively bankrupt, especially in the face of the above, is foolish. The last three years have been something of a blip for a company that had until that point been near-flawless, but they remain an incredibly talented bunch and there's no reason we shouldn't believe that best is yet to come.

Americans love their national parks and other federal public lands. And so do Arizonans. Arizona is blessed to have some of the most phenomenal - and varied - parks, forests, monuments, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and more, in the entire country.
According to a recent Colorado College poll, 90 percent of Arizonans - from all across the political spectrum - agree that these lands are "an essential part of Arizona's economy." These federal public lands support the state's wildlife heritage and sustain Arizona's enviable quality of life.
But the Arizona Legislature would like to change that, and is asking us, the voters, to make the federal government hand these lands over to the Arizona state government to own and manage.
This constitutional amendment, Proposition 120 on the ballot, would set in motion a demand by the state that all federal public lands in Arizona - roughly 30 million acres including wildland gems such as Grand Canyon National Park, Coconino National Forest and Saguaro National Park - be turned over to the state.
Proposition 120 would amend the Arizona Constitution to assert state sovereignty and establish that the state has exclusive authority and jurisdiction over all air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within the state.
Arizona - whose state parks system is in a perpetual state of neglect - literally cannot afford to absorb responsibility for these important public lands. Oracle State Park north of Tucson has only recently reopened following severe budget cuts from the last few years, and even now can only open one day a week. This idea is extreme enough that when the Legislature attempted to adopt this as a bill, Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed it. Gov. Brewer estimates that the state would need millions "in additional dollars and an untold increase in staff and resources," not including any additional liability costs, in order to manage these lands.
Proposition 120 is another example of this Legislature's harsh and unrelenting attack against conservation stewardship and natural resource protection.
Through this proposition, the Legislature is seeking to undermine protections provided by federal environmental laws, such as the Clean Air Act, Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act.
These laws are the bedrock of an environmental legacy forged over the last 50 years and are critical to protecting one of the most ecologically rich regions of the country for all Americans.
Given all the important work needing to be done in Arizona, it is unfortunate that our Legislature is spending energy on an effort such as this one.
Proposition 120 is a bad idea for Arizona; please vote no on Prop. 120 and stop the Legislature's land grab.
Carolyn Campbell chairs the No On Prop 120 - Stop Legislature's Land Grab committee.

When the temperature hits the thirties and the pavements begin to blister, New Yorkers head for the beach. There are scores of beaches in striking distance of the city, but for the city's Waspy high society, it has to be the Hamptons. The Friday afternoon pilgrimage by car, bus or the Long Island Railroad, which I'm taking, is an intrinsic part of the experience.
As the train draws on to the platform at Penn Station, a tidal wave of Louis Vuitton luggage and monogrammed beach bags lurches forward. Their owners groan and swear and fight for seats, as if this weren't what happens every Friday - only to do the same thing all over again 20 minutes later at Jamaica Station, where we transfer to a double-decker train that trundles through the Hamptons to Montauk, the end of the line, where my boyfriend Ben and I are spending the weekend.
As we weave along what F Scott Fitzgerald called 'that slender riotous island which extends itself due east of New York', the chat is of parties and property prices. Strangers strike up conversation as only Americans know how. 'Your dog looks a little dirty,' says a Ralph Lauren-shirted man to a woman opposite. 'It's her colouring,' sniffs the woman, and kisses her pooch on the lips.
About two hours later, the train spills its cargo in Westhampton, Southampton, Bridgehampton and East Hampton; passengers are met by Porsche SUVs and Aston Martins. Then the view, inside and out, changes abruptly. Gatsby-style mansions surrounded by 4m-high privet hedges give way to American oak woods and wild parkland; a few comparatively scruffy stragglers, some with surfboards - one, in my carriage, actually wearing his wetsuit - remain on board.
Montauk's isolated location at the eastern tip of Long Island, and strict planning restrictions, have preserved it as the 'un-Hampton', a quiet fishing town and famous surfing spot. Refreshingly free of the excessive wealth that characterises its western neighbours, it feels like real America. Instead of multiple Ralph Lauren boutiques and expensive restaurants there are motels, tackle shops and old-fashioned diners.
I have wanted to come here since watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the film in which Kate Winslet and Jim Carrey meet for the first time on Montauk's blustery beaches. I'm also a keen, if slightly inept, surfer, so when I heard that a new surf lodge was opening, I booked in.
The Surf Lodge is five minutes' walk from the train station, on a glassy stretch of water called Fort Pond. After checking into our gorgeous, glammed-up motel room - seagrass floors, flat-screen TV, a terrace with a hammock, Frette linen and Mr Zog's Sex Wax (it's for surfboards) where the chocolate should be, Ben and I make our way to the deck. The Lodge is owned by the people behind Manhattan's glitzy Cain nightclub, and since it opened there has been much debate in the New York press as to whether it will bring 'the scene' to Montauk; Hamptonise the un-Hampton
We're pondering this as we drink Montauk Storm cocktails and survey the clientele, trendy types in their thirties and forties, when I catch sight of a small, leathery-faced old man in a cream blazer and frighteningly short shorts. It's Ralph Lauren, godfather of the Hamptons. The scene, it seems, has already arrived.
We stare furtively at Ralph while pretending we haven't noticed him, before making our way to the restaurant. Our table is right on the edge of the deck; a troop of ducklings drifts past as the sun dips below the horizon. The restaurant is helmed by Sam Talbot, a former Top Chef contestant (America's version of Masterchef), and as I sit down, I can't help but remember the peanut butter flavoured mashed potato one of this season's contestants dreamed up. Mercifully, there's nothing of the sort on the menu, but the food is a mixed bag. Crab ceviche salad with blueberries and seared tuna with succotash (lima beans and corn) are delicious, but a curry sauce masks the flavour of the catch of the day, flounder; and blackened squid is over-embellished with spicy dressing.
After dinner we make our first foray into old Montauk. Shagwong might sound like something out of Austin Powers; in fact, it's a bar and restaurant that has been a Main Street mainstay since 1969. The contrast between it and the stylish environs of the Surf Lodge is extreme - there are photographs of navy boys and stuffed fish on the walls; middle-aged fishermen watch basketball and drink beer.
The next morning, after coconut coffee and blueberry muffins in the Lodge's 'den', a sunken lounge area with a screen showing surf movies, we hit the beach. I've booked a surf lesson at Ditch Plains with pro-surfer and local legend Tony Caramanico. With his bleached blond hair and moustache, he looks like a mini Hulk Hogan. He gives me a few refresher tips on the beach, before we negotiate the rocky entrance to the sea.
The swell can reach 7m here, but today the waves are small and infrequent. We float on our boards in the still water, so clear you can see the bottom, and chew the fat. Tony moved to Montauk in 1971, when Peter Beard and associated 'whirling dervishes' were in residence, tripping on acid and having what sounds like a whale of a time. The surf scene petered out in the late 1970s, when longboards were replaced by harder-to-ride shortboards, but Tony stuck with it until its resurgence in the late 1990s. Since then he has coached a whole host of A-listers, including Ed Burns and Chris Martin.
When the surf picks up, I start paddling furiously. 'Go girl,' shouts Tony, and I catch a wave, spring to my feet and ride it to the shore, letting out an involuntary whoop.
After a couple of hours, Ben and I head to the renowned Ditch Witch snack van, which is plastered with anti-war posters and pictures of Barack Obama, and I order the house special, a wonderfully sloppy guacamole, cheese and tomato sandwich. We lie on the sandy beach, which stretches for miles, watching surfers parade by with their boards while groups of guys play boules and children build sandcastles. Even Montauk's beach vibe is different from the Hamptons'. There, people work out with personal trainers and there's so much surgery on display you could be in Miami.
Later, we meet our friends and Montauk regulars Flo and Dom for a bar crawl. Saturday evenings on this part of the island, they tell us, start at Cyril's Fishhouse, on the road to Amagansett. The crowd has spilt out of the bar to the car park, where we stand with the local cocktail, a lethal concoction of Baileys, banana liqueur, piña colada mix and rum, served in a pint glass with optional rum float. They taste dangerously like smoothies. Before we're tempted to have another and risk passing out in the car park, we move on to the Montauket Inn, an old clapboard bar-restaurant on Fort Pond, ideally placed for sunset. The sun definitely does not have his hat on this evening, but it hasn't deterred the hordes from gathering. A couple of pints and we're ready for the main event: lobster.
Duryea's Lobster Deck epitomises old Montauk. It's BYOB, the furniture and cutlery are plastic, the staff rather rude. It's all about the seafood. We start with mussels and clams, which come completely unadulterated with half lemons and clarified butter on the side. Then our 700g lobsters arrive. For at least 10 minutes we eat in silence, apart from the occasional ecstatic sigh. They're obscenely good. 'This is the best lobster I've ever had,' declares Ben extravagantly, dipping a claw in butter. (We establish later that it was only his third.)
As we finish, a storm that has already ravaged New York begins to stir the inky water. Sailboat masts clink, our cardboard wine cups blow off the table, and an officious Russian waitress shoos us away. As we leave we spot Harvey Keitel walking to his car.
Back at the Surf Lodge the rain has driven the party inside. The place is heaving - it feels more like a Manhattan club than a country hotel bar. I find the owner, Jamie, standing by the door. 'Whatever happened to our sleepy little surf shack,' he says, mournfully.
When we wake on Sunday morning, the lodge is quiet, its cheerful colours and West Coast-style decor - driftwood barstools, surfboards hanging from the ceiling - visible again, but Fort Pond is shrouded in mist. Still, there is no better hangover cure than a dip in the sea, so we head back to Ditch Plains and find at least 30 surfers bobbing in the water.
Many are men in their late forties and fifties who have surfed this break for decades, but they are friendly rather than territorial; when one guy extols the virtues of his anti-shark device I decide to stay close. A set rolls in and we all paddle into it.
Ben and I brunch at John's Pancake House, a classic diner-style joint with a grimy patterned carpet. The tasty pancakes are an inch thick, served with eggs, bacon and maple syrup, and I manage to find room for a side order of corned beef hash as well. I need it for the bike ride we have planned before we go back to Manhattan - five miles up and down the green hills of Montauk Downs State Park, past Deep Hollow Ranch, the oldest in America and home to the country's first cow, to the lighthouse at the tip of the island.
Built in 1792 under the orders of George Washington, Montauk Point Lighthouse was the first glimpse of America for generations of immigrants before they headed west to the mainland. It seems somehow fitting that the scene is now edging back east, as if the dream has come full circle.
The Long Island Railroad runs from New York's Penn Station to Montauk, via Jamaica Station, about nine times daily, costs $30.50 return and takes just over three hours (mta.info/lirr). Rooms at the Surf Lodge (001 631 668 2632; thesurflodge.com) start at $300 a night; bicycle hire is $10 for an hour.

SCOTT JAGOW: A lot of folks hit hard by the hurricanes last year took another blow yesterday.A federal judge ruled on one couple's complaint that their insurance company wouldn't pay for the damage to their home. More now from Stacey Vanek-Smith.
STACEY VANEK-SMITH: It's the first of hundreds of so-called wind/water cases.
Turns out many Gulf Coast residents were covered for wind damage, but not water damage.
That was the case for Paul and Julie Leonard. Their insurer, Nationwide Mutual, said most of the damage to their home was caused by storm surge water, not wind, so they weren't covered
The judge agreed. So instead of the $150,000-some the couple was hoping to claim, they will get about $1,200.
The economic policy institute's Jared Bernstein fears this ruling could influence industry practice.
JARED BERNSTEIN: I'm afraid to say, you're going to find lots of insurers chomping at the bit to view this as a wide-ranging precedent, put in lots of fine print that folks may or may not appreciate, and figure that the courts are going to tilt their way when the case is somewhat ambiguous.
Nationwide said it was pleased with the decision and reminded policyholders that they need to the fine print.

Figueroa Mountain Brewing Gets Increased Santa Barbara Hours
Paperwork error forced early closure for two months
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - After settling a paperwork issue, last call will come a little later at the Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. in Santa Barbara.
For about the last two months, the business in the "Funk Zone" had to turn out the lights at 9 p.m. This, after staying open later for several months prior to that.
A check of the permit by the Santa Barbara Police Department revealed a conflict over how long the business could stay open each day. While that was worked out with the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, Figueroa Mountain had to shut down early.
It is now open until 11 p.m. each day.
General Manager Tony Grimes says it keeps the popular spot buzzing right along with several other businesses that are open late in the popular art and dining district.
"Yea things are definitely hearting up in a sense, and there's a lot of fun stuff planned for the summertime, so it should be a good relationship," said Grimes.
The brew spot has a mix of all demographics, and offers a food menu from the nearby Lucky Penny restaurant.
Figueroa Mountain also has locations in Buellton and Los Olivos.

Hideous kinky: Inside Dungeon Alley
Forget whips and chains: Some customers make even hardened dungeon mistresses queasy.
Thu Oct 4 2007
Manhattan has a Financial District, a Meatpacking District, a Flower District and a Diamond District. Lesser known—at least to the hoi polloi—is the Dungeon District, or "Dungeon Alley." This 20-block stretch between Chelsea and midtown is home to at least ten BDSM/fetish havens that cater to bondage, domination, submission and role-playing fantasies. And New Yorkers go way beyond "spank me."
Ask any dominatrix about "Mental Dental" and odds are she'll tell you they've met. "He's constantly calling and asking if there are new girls," says Mistress Haley of Rebecca's Hidden Chamber (212-564-4484, thehiddenchamber.com). Haley has worked there for four years and has "sessioned" with the famed dental fetishist—who trawls the alley nightly—dozens of times. She explains that he insists on an exhaustive, almost ritualistic interview with his chosen domme, and only once he's convinced she has the "proper" dental training will he agree to a session. "Nine times out of ten, he walks," Haley says.
Mistress Nadia, a former domme at Dungeon Alley spot the Nutcracker Suite (917-256-0211, nutsuite.com), met Mental Dental on her very first night on the job. In addition to bringing eight different dental instruments with him to sessions, Mental brings a bottle of "Novocain" that the "hygienist" is instructed to use on him. "When I entered the room," she says, "he was seated in his examination chair. I introduced myself as a nurse's assistant whose parents were both professional dentists," Nadia says, remembering her fake backstory. "He explained that he needed some caps, as well as a few other minor operations. He requested that I help him by loosening, and perhaps removing, a few of his teeth."
There are rumors among the girls that he was once an actual dentist and was stripped of his credentials for extracting teeth unnecessarily from attractive young women. "He really likes it if you have—or had—braces and can talk about that and how straight your teeth are," Haley says. "He wants to examine them. And tell you what a good brace job you've had."
If that's not hot enough for you, how about Big-Ball Benny? Benny is known on the Alley for his stench, the filthy black Chucks that cover his grimy feet, and one herniated testicle, which has swelled to the size of a small cantaloupe. "He's had it for years and he won't get it taken care of," Mistress Haley reports. "He says it doesn't bother him." She suspects, though, that difficulty moving is one reason Benny never bathes.
"He really doesn't do anything in particular except lie on the bondage bed," Haley says. "He wants you to tickle him while he calls you a dirty slut." Most of the dommes who session with Benny put a little Vicks VapoRub on their upper lip to make it through. "He smells homeless, but he has an apartment and a job." Katie, a female dungeon manager who has known Benny for years, finds him more manageable than her other clients. "He's so funny," she says. "I like him because he's ornery. He reminds me of certain people in my family. Except...my family's way cleaner." Katie doesn't mind that Benny tries to push her buttons, either. "He's always like, 'Play with my dick.' And I'm like, 'What the fuck, Benny, I can't find it. It's swallowed up by your ball!'"

vinyl jamb extensions
We just had new windows installed in a new home construction. The contractor did not factor the strapping required for the wood siding and as a result we are an inch short in the jambs. What can we do?
Just use 1 X clear pine, or birch.
If you are referring to the interior side of the windows: You can furr out the jambs using comparable material (to the planned interior wood finish trim). The width of the extension pieces should be 1/16" proud of the the actual width (depth) - difference - that you are trying to make-up.
If its going to be painted trim work, Poplar wood is the suggested wood-stock to use (as it has less knots and covers well with paint).

Self-Storage Rules the REIT Roost
Self-storage shined a superstar at this week's REIT rendezvous in New York, and it has caused a surge of optimism to radiate through the industry. But some ask if REIT performance really means anything to independent operators, and if good news for "the big boys" means good news for all self-storage owners.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) launched its annual REITWeek on Tuesday, an investor forum with participants including Extra Space Storage, , Public Storage, Sovran Self Storage and U-Store-It Trust. What we've learned since follow-up coverage in outlets such as CNBC and The Wall Street Journal is REITs as a whole are performing well, but self-storage is out on top.
In its June 8 article "REIT Week's Reason to Party," WSJ reported that nearly all property types posted double-digit gains in the first five months of 2011, but self-storage led the pack with an 18.4 percent return, followed by offices (17.8 percent), apartments (16.9 percent) and industrial (16 percent). As of May 31, the total return of the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index, which tracks 120 REITs, was up 14.1 percent. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index rose 7.8 percent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 9.8 percent during the first five months.
CNBC Real Estate Reporter Diana Olick seemed a little flabbergasted, as reflected in her headline, "And the REIT Winner Is — Storage?" She commented, "But when I read down the fact sheet to the winners and losers, imagine my surprise to see the least sexy of the bunch at the top of the list: Self storage." How's it make you feel to be dubbed "unsexy," self-storage? Are you bristling? Sexy or not, you're in the lead. Let the pundits put that in their pipe and smoke it.
But then self-storage companies are a very small slice of the REIT pie, comprising only $23 billion of the $413 billion equity REIT industry. So while the performance is there, some would say that in relativity, it pales in comparison to that of other commercial sectors.
The real question is what this means for our industry as a whole. At the upcoming Inside Self-Storage World Expo in Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 4-6, XPS Solutions owner and CEO John Traver proposes to share a new growth strategy for independent self-storage owners based on a working formula applied by industry REITs. But can such a strategy truly work for smaller companies?
In an interview with Matt Bechard of REIT.com, the official website of NAREIT, Public Storage President and CEO Ron Havener said there has been little new development of self-storage facilities in the past 18 months, but consolidation continues. He pointed out the ability for public REITs to access capital is superior to that of the local owner/operator; public companies can continually build their market share, because there's no new supply being added. So while the REITs continue to grow, your average operators struggle under the status quo, in some cases battling more with the "big boys" than with other independents like themselves.
Does the recent performance of self-storage REITs make you sanguine? What do you think this truly reflects in the real estate market and our industry specifically? Does the success of super operators mean good things for you independents out there? Or does it spell more and fiercer competition in smaller markets? Let me know your thoughts here on the blog, or participate in the discussion thread on Self-Storage Talk.

Fresh from the fashion powerhouse of Paris, well-regarded Australian fashion designer Akira Isogawa is iD Dunedin Fashion Week 2011's international guest designer.
Today, he will help judge the iD International Emerging Designer Awards, a task he hopes will inspire him.
"As a designer, I find it important to stay in touch with new emerging talent and I hope I will be inspired by the freshness and newness of the creative emerging talent at the iD International Emerging Designer Awards," he says.
Born in Kyoto, Japan, Isogawa moved to Australia in 1986 where he studied at the Sydney Institute of Technology.
Since 1998, he has shown his collections in Paris, and at the Mercedes Australian Fashion Week since 1996.
In 1999 he was named Designer of the Year and Womenswear Designer of the Year at the Australian Fashion Industry Awards.
The accolades continued in 2005 when he was honoured by Australia Post and named an Australian Legend - his image appeared on a commemorative postage stamp.
That same year he was awarded Prix de Marie Claire Best Australian Designer and the following year he received the Award for Fashion Excellence at the National Retail Association Fashion Design Awards.
Isogawa describes his design philosophy as translating fabrics into soft and romantic silhouettes.
"A garment can transcend, giving it a soul."
Natural fabrics, such as silks and cottons, take preference as they are kind to the skin.
An Eastern influence can be seen through richly embellished fabrics, and his respect for their traditions, he said.
"Past, present and future" is a slogan around which his work evolves.
"Timeless beauty and femininity in my design is profound, in a way for the wearer to express their inner soul."
With a CV like his, it is no wonder iD organisers were excited about his arrival in Dunedin last night.
Committee chairwoman Susie Staley believes his presence shows the high standard iD has set for itself and its drive to bring designers of high calibre to the event.
Otago Polytechnic fashion academic leader Margo Barton describes his clothes as "sumptuous" and says "his textiles are often embellished and luxurious, and add a feminine twist to his architectural lines".
"People who have sewn or made patterns can see the way Akira's technical expertise is married with his creativity through his extraordinary pattern cutting.
"He is a master," Barton says.

Akira Isogawa will give a public lecture tomorrow at 12.10pm at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery, with Otago Polytechnic School of Design fashion design lecturer Simon Swale.

While Samsung has not confirmed the existence of the new Galaxy Grand GT-I9060, the FCC approved the device today. Unfortunately, the Federal Commission doesn't reveal much abut it. But it confirms that it's a "phone with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth", while its battery appears to be a 2,100 mAh one.
The rest of the new Galaxy's features supposedly include a 5 inch display with 480 x 800 pixels, dual SIM capabilities, 5MP rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and MicroSD card support. The handset may run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean at launch.
It's said that the Galaxy Grand Lite will be available in three color versions: black, orange and "lime green."
Another "Lite" device that Samsung is reportedly preparing for early 2014 is the Galaxy Note Lite, which - according to a recent rumor - could also have a green version. Is here a pattern that Samsung's affordable handsets will follow next year, perhaps inspired by Apple's green iPhone 5C? We don't know yet, but we assume we're going to find out soon.

st: Returning a rowvector on-the-fly in Mata, as in -return(el1, el2, ...)-

st: Returning a rowvector on-the-fly in Mata, as in -return(el1, el2, ...)-
Sun, 14 May 2006 18:31:13 +0900
Is is bad Mata programming practice to assemble a returned vector (or
matrix) inside the -return()- statement?
Stata won't let you -return matrix A = (element1, element2, . . .)-. In
Mata, on the other hand, it seems that you can do the analogous operation.
But that doesn't imply that you ought to.
Is it too-clever-for-your-own-good to, for example,
-return(element1, element2, . . .)-
or even
-return( (element1, element2, . . .) )-
for a function that returns a row vector? (The elements are expressions,
i.e., literals, scalar variables, return functions, of the proper datatype.)
