Thanks for the correction and extra information.

What are the nine other partners?

Conversation about: Rookie of the Year? So what?

Well said, Marty. Individual awards and stats are no replacement for a good team. Not even Oscar Robertson's individual statistical brilliance could get his team anywhere. It was only when he got on a good team with Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and others, that he was able to bag a championship.

Conversation about: Hina's Tea to close

For now it looks like non-payment of rent, but the issue might be more complicated than that. I received the following reply in an email from Mark Ellis, Managing Partner of Ellis, Coleman, Porier, Lavoie & Steinheimer, which is representing Orr: "Hina’s Tea has been occupying Mr. Orr’s premises without paying rent for years; we believe Hina’s refusal to pay rent was not legally justified and instead was based, in our judgment, upon pretextual excuses so as to unfairly stay in the premises rent free to Mr. Orr’s detriment. In any event, the eviction that is occurring is based upon a valid court order dated 3/26/10 that found that Mr. Orr is legally entitled to re-possession of his premises."

Conversation about: Stockton Boulevard: A Little Saigon in Sacramento

If it's extended half a mile south by the Sacramento County supervisors, that will enable Little Saigon to reach just south of 65th. But it might make more sense if it went all the way to Florin, because that's where Tết is usually held.

Conversation about: Flying motorcycle inventor to speak at California Auto Museum

Thank you both for pointing out Moller, another "flying car" prototype manufacturer. According to Samson Motorworks' deposit agreement (http://samsonmotorworks.com/deposit.pdf), the refundable deposits on the Switchblade will be put in an account and not touched or used by the company. It will only be used as income for the company when the customer agrees to purchase the completed vehicle kit.

Conversation about: Eclipse chaser to speak at Sacramento Valley Astronomical Society meeting

From what Buchla said, it sounded like there is a large international community of eclipse chasers. Since about two thirds of the earth's surface is water, many total eclipses are only visible from the sea, he said. Devoted chasers from all over the world travel into international waters to view them.
