This project was very easy to follow. I modified the measuremnts to build a queen bed frame instead. I got a little bit confused at some point and ended up with the sides overlapping the head and foot, but it's still looked pretty good, I wish I had payed attention to this detail though.

The wood I used was poplar, finished twice with wipe-on poly, one coat of minwax cherry stain and protective wax for the final finish (sanding with 220 grit paper between coats).

Giovanni, President of the Key Club, contacted AFC with the idea for the Key Club to volunteer at AFC.They came with seven volunteers and spent several hours helping out.

They started off their morning walking the homeless pups at the Animal Friends Connection Sanctuary. After walking the dogs 2 1/2 miles, they jumped into providing a spa day! They bathed, blow dried, brushed and snuggled! One volunteer, Elia, gave 12 dogs a bath! She is coming back to volunteer again!

SACRAMENTO - Is it time to get your Powerball tickets yet?  The current estimated jackpot stands at $116 million. 

Two weeks ago, when the state joined Powerball, California immediately set a record, selling more than $8 million worth of tickets in the first three days.

A week ago, the grand prize was $80 million and the last six times that happened, it rose by the minimal increment, going from 80 to 90, then to $100 million.  But this time, it went from 80 to 95, to $116 million.

California is just one of 43 Powerball states, but the state also accounts for about 12 percent of the population.  Long-term, the jackpots will grow faster.  But the odds of someone hitting the jackpot is now greater as well.
