I bought one of these tiles to use under my Bowflex Select Tech dumbbell rack. It works!! I only wish they had inserts to make the jig saw puzzle part of it look as if it was finished. I guess you could cut it, but it's pretty thick and that would reduce the size of the mat by about an inch on each side. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
I received the product as scheduled and delivery was right to my door. After a very brief review of the interlocking border scheme I was able to lay out the floor and install it with relative ease. I looks great in the room and I am very satisfied with this solution for my home gym flooring.
Thanks Rubber Flooring Inc. The 3/8" Zip rubber tile that I used for my gym floor were absolutely great! The ease of using your website, ordering, and the free shipping was awesome. The floor went down easier than I thought and looks great. If you are looking to put a rubber floor down anywhere look no further. Really I did my home work and I kept coming back to these guys! Great product that is sustainable as well as it is made from recycled rubber! I would recommend this product to anyone who is a DIY person like myself. Thanks Again
These tile were ideal for our home gym and their quality was well above our expectations. once installed these tiles have a great seamless appearance.
Our home gym was just a portion of a much larger basement finishing project, so three aspects were very important. First, the gym and therefore the flooring, had to be of the same quality as the rest of the living/entertainment space. Second, the cost had to be contained so as not to harshly impact the overall project budget. And third was that the timing of the product delivery had to coincide precisely with the project timeline.
Rubber Flooring Inc and the 3/8" Zip Tiles exceeded all requirements by far. While quite a few of our guests make kind comments about the wood flooring in the entertainment space, every single guest marvels at the seamless wall to wall rubber flooring in the gym.
As this was a major construction project with multiple craftsmen working in tandem, having the flooring arrive on the specific day required was essential. Working with the team at Rubber Flooring, I was able to have the product delivered the day the crew was ready to install.
Thanks to all at Rubber Flooring Inc for a great product and a superior sales/delivery process.
Best regards,
We got this for our home gym and worked out great!It was a piece of cake putting it all together. My only complaint would be that some of the tabs on the the edges got ripped or damaged in the shipping process, but we used those pieces as our edges and cut them.
Easy to install, even around several posts. Finished product looks great, same as at the local gym!
For the price these tiles are awesome. I wanted a 3/8" thick tile and this was the cheapest one I found.
I was originally looking at the tight lock tiles however I noticed these were a little less expensive and still rated highly so I though I would save the extra 10% and give these a try. I was very happy with my decision and my wife loves the flooring which is an extra bonus. The only reason I gave them 4 stars rather than 5 was because I really wanted tan flecks but I settled on the gray ones instead. The gray matches my gym equipment which is nice but the tan might have matched my walls better so overall I just wish they had a wider color selection.
Look Great!! Very Easy Installation!! Good Deal!! Very Happy With Purchase!!

With only five days left until Christmas and 12 until the New Year, the racing season is winding down and we'll be spending the next two weekends deciding on our Eclipse Awards ballot which I will post in the first week of the New Year.
We're also feverishly working on our 2014 prognostications for next weekend (ala Kreskin) and hope we can get over the Mendoza line this year after last year's dismal showing. Last week's Festivus post received some solid traction thanks to equidaily.com's link and subsequent interview on Racing Across America via Capital -OTB TV in Albany on Wednesday ( go to 40:25 mark).
Some thoughts as we head into the holidays….
- It's regrettable that I never made it to Hollywood Park. So many great races have been held there over time. Racing will conclude this weekend at the site of the first Breeders' Cup in 1984, and will give way to real estate development. It was No. 7 on my wish list...oh well.
- No news is typically not good news when it comes to the Ontario Provincial government that seems to be slow on the trigger to respond to the Fort Erie Live Racing Consortium's 91-page proposal surrounding the Year of the Horse and festival racing at the border oval. As more time passes, the more dire the situation across the border becomes. The festival concept is interesting, but will be very difficult to pull off, mainly due to stabilizing a horse population, not just the tourism monies that will have to raised. The glass is half empty in this corner. Let's hope racing isn't shuttered across the Peace Bridge.
- While preparing for my television interview, I didn't realize that Gary Stevens has only had 369 mounts during the year in ranking third in Grade 1 wins (8) behind Mike Smith (15) and John Velazquez (13), respectively. Ironically, Smith has only 402 mounts. It appears the elder statesmen sure know how to pick their spots.
- Aqueduct is unveiling a new wager on January 1 called The Omni. A bettor will have to select two of the first three finishers to win the bet. How many times has your exacta been split finishing 1-3 or worse 2-3? The bet will have a fairly low takeout rate of 15 percent.
- On January 1, New York State will impose a 5 percent market origin fee on each dollar wagered by a New York State resident on any out-of-state account wagering deposit (ADW) company. This will affect many of the ADW's such as twinspires.com, Xpressbet and TVG, the three largest in the country. The track wagered on by the NY resident does not matter when calculating the fee. ADW's typically retain 10-20 percent of each dollar wagered according to the Daily Racing Form.
- New York is obviously trying to discourage out-of-state ADW's with dealing with NY customers and to drive customers to one of the OTB accounts in New York or NYRA Rewards. However, when I contacted twinspires.com they assured me of the following: "This will not affect you in anyway. This fee is something that we as the ADW will have to pay. This is not a fee we will be passing on to our customers who live in NY. There is a chance some people would be affected but those are rebated players and it could affect their rebates." Good news for the weekend warriors who like to use services like twinspires.
Happy holidays!

When race organizers hold a big to-do about a name change — usually involving the addition of a sponsor — months and months ahead of the race date – it's easy to take note of it, nod, and then go on with your day.
But sometimes, you look at a name change and see a bigger picture.
That's the case with Wednesday's announcement about the Oct. 21, 2o12 Columbus Marathon's new partnership. The race will now be known as the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon, and Nationwide Children's Hospital will be the title beneficiary of the race. You can watch the press conference here, and if you do, you'll see the partnership is more than in name only. As organizers put it plainly, by participating in the event, you can help make sick kids get better, through Children's Champions. Just run or walk the marathon or half marathon while fundraising for Nationwide Children's Hospital.
The point, of course, is yet another connection between road races and good deeds for others — and that's nothing new, even for the Columbus Marathon, which has a rich history of benefiting many charities and causes. And that, of course, serves as a reminder that on almost any weekend of the year, you can support a great cause too just by signing up to run a road race, from major ones like the MercyHealth Mini, aka the Heart Mini-Marathon to the small 5K around the corner.
Here's just a small sample — by no means, to be painstakingly clear, a complete list — of some of the Greater Cincinnati races and the charities and causes they benefit:
Cupid"s Undie Run on Feb. 11 in Mount Adams benefits the Children's Tumor Foundation.
Food on the Run 5K and 10K, March 3, Yeatman's Cove, benefits the Nutrition Council's childhood obesity program.
5K Run/Walk 4A Cause, also March 3, Glendale, helps fight leukemia and lymphoma.
Cincinnati Gorilla Run, April 1, downtown Cincinnati, benefits the Mountain Gorilla Conservation Fund.
Again, those are just a few. Check out Upcoming Events Calendar, which already has more than 100 races between now and the end of the year — a number that's sure to grow, so keep checking. Click on the race directors' links and find out about all the great causes that benefit from your participation. It'll make you proud to be a runner.
More on Columbus
Organizers have also announced that the field for the Nationwide Children's Hospital Columbus Marathon has been increased to 7,000 for the full marathon and 11,000 for the half. And registration starts in just a couple days — Oct. 21, to be exact.

Steve Ellis, who spent his first two years as cornerbacks coach and special teams coordinator for the Blue Raiders, was elevated to defensive coordinator in January 2011. Ellis will also remain as the cornerbacks coach for the defense.
For the second straight year, Ellis produced a First Team All-Conference selection in Rod Issac and helped the defense lead the league in pass defense for a second consecutive season. Starters Issac and Arness Ikner accounted for four interceptions and 10 pass breakups, and Issac scored twice.
Ellis' special teams were solid once again (with six blocked kicks) and produced First Team All-Conference picks in placekicker Alan Gendreau and punter Josh Davis.
Ellis' cornerbacks had 152 tackles, nine interceptions, 12 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and 21 pass breakups on their way to leading the Sun Belt Conference in pass defense and interceptions. Seniors Marcus Udell and Alex Suber were tabbed first team all-conference as Udell led the league with seven interceptions and Suber had 12 pass breakups while ranking 28th nationally in passes defended.
His special teams blocked eight kicks, hit 18 of 22 field goal attempts, had 1,119 yards in kick returns, downed 22 punts inside the 20-yard line and had seven punts of 50 yards or more. Sophomore placekicker Alan Gendreau earned first team all-conference honors.
Ellis made his way to Murfreesboro after serving the previous six seasons at Nicholls State where he was the defensive coordinator his final three years. Ellis, who also served as the team's pro liaison and supervised academic progress, was the team's safeties coach in 2003 before taking over the linebackers in 2004 and 2005.
The Stringer, Miss., native became one of the youngest defensive coordinators in the country when he was named to the position prior to spring drills in 2006 and guided the Colonels to conference best marks in scoring defense and pass defense. Nicholls finished the 2006 season ranked 19th nationally in total defense.
In 2007, Ellis' unit led the Southland Conference in total defense, pass defense, interceptions, and was second in scoring defense. Overall, NSU ranked 33rd nationally in total defense.
In six seasons at Nicholls State, Ellis' players won seven first team all-conference honors, four National Player of the Week awards, three All-American honors, two conference Newcomer of the Year awards, and garnered a defensive player of the year accolade.
During the summer of 2008, Ellis participated in the NFL Coaches Fellowship Program with the Pittsburgh Steelers under Head Coach Mike Tomlin. Ellis worked with the defensive backs under the guidance of legendary defensive coordinator Dick Lebeau.
He started for three seasons for the Colonels as a defensive back, before sitting out his senior season after suffering a knee injury during the fourth game of the 2002 campaign against Southern University. While with the Colonels, Ellis was named to the All-Southland Conference team all three seasons he played and registered over 200 career tackles and five interceptions for the Colonels. Ellis, the team captain in 2001, was second in the Southland Conference with 104 tackles during the 2000 season.
The 29-year old was a four-year letterman as a quarterback and defensive back at Stringer High School before continuing his playing days at Nicholls State. Ellis earned his bachelor's degree in secondary education from Nicholls State in 2003.

With the Quakers coming off an upset win over Columbia to open their first Ivy weekend of the season, we take a look at who's hot–and who's not–as the Big Red come to town.
Three Up-
Miles Cartwright- The junior captain stepped up as a leader when the Red and Blue needed him the most Friday, pouring in eight points in the game's final two minutes to ensure that a nine-point second half lead wouldn't go to waste. Additionally, Cartwright was able to minimize his turnovers, a positive trend that he'll need to keep up against a Cornell team that averages seven steals a game.
Steve Rennard- After seemingly being left for dead, the junior was able to revitalize his season against Columbia. In 29 minutes of action, Rennard was able to score seven points on 2-4 shooting, including his first made three-pointer since a win over NJIT on Jan. 17th. If Rennard can maybe, just maybe, recapture his shooting touch from last year, the Quakers will only benefit from having yet another outside scoring threat.
Henry Brooks- Much like Rennard, Brooks was able to reverse an early-season bad habit on Friday night. In 28 minutes of action, the sophomore forward managed to keep himself out of foul trouble against Columbia's rangy big men, hearing only two calls against him on the night. Additionally, he showed some nice range in going 2-for-4 from the field, including one shot that was just inside the three-point line.
Three Down-
Patrick Lucas Perry's minutes, again- Where was he? If people thought that PLP had turned the corner after his sterling performance against Temple, they were wrong. Lucas-Perry received 15 minutes of playing time, but it seemed like far less, as he never seemed to establish much of a presence for himself on the court. The sophomore wound up going 0-for-2 from the field, and only managed to pick up a single rebound.
Every freshman not named Darien Nelson-Henry- It was a rough night for most of the Quakers' youngsters. Jamal Lewis tallied one assist, two turnovers, and a whopping three fouls in only seven minutes of action, earning him a comfortable spot on the bench. Tony Hicks scored eight points, but went 1-for-5 from the field. And, in keeping with tradition, Julian Harrell never even had a chance to take his warm-ups off.
The rims in the Palestra whenever Fran Dougherty shoots- Playing for the first time in a month following a bout with mononucleosis, the dynamic junior wound up going 1-for-5 from the field in 18 minutes off the bench, but his stat sheet could have looked a lot better. Dougherty had shot after shot take the exact wrong bounce at the exact wrong time, spoiling some sharp inside post and isolation moves by the athletic forward.

This is a wonderful side dish. I didn't have any slivered almonds so I chopped some whole almonds and cooked it the same. The dried cranberries add nice flavor. I recommend watching the baking time because an hour would have been too long for me.
Very easy to make & tasty. We both loved this! I prefer to make a recipe as written but I had to improvise a bit based on my pantry - using cashews instead of almonds. Working with only a 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, I added 2 Tablespoons of sweetened coconut (after sautéing the nuts) to make sure I had a good sweet balance. The nuts and the coconut worked well! [I worried it would be bland and added another T of butter (to make it 4 not 3). The extra butter was unnecessary.] Oh! I forgot to spray the pan but it seems ok (esp w my extra butter).
I really liked it, but my hubby didn't. In all fairness though, he doesn't like "fruit with food" (craisens) and actually, really prefers white rice. So, I'm taking his feedback with a grain of salt. I followed the recipe as listed other then using chopped almonds because I did not have slivered ones. I also sprayed the baking dish with a butter-garlic spray grease, but don't think that added anything to the flavor. I really liked the long hands-free baking time.....it gave me plenty of time to make the rest of dinner and relax a bit. It is a beautiful looking rice dish and I'll make the side again. I'll only 1/2 it next time....that will be more manageable for my family of 5.

Mill Valley Businessman Charged With Attempted Murder, Allegedly Trying To Toss Wife From Bridge
Posted by Lindsey Hickman (Editor) ,
A Mill Valley man who fell into the Bay on Friday was allegedly trying to throw his wife off of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge during an argument, San Mateo County's district attorney said today.
Xavier Jarrell McClinton, 47, appeared in court Monday to be arraigned on one felony count each of attempted murder and domestic violence in connection with the bizarre attack, which took place on the bridge at around 2:25 p.m. Friday, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
According to prosecutors, McClinton was driving east with his wife of eight years when the couple began to argue. During the argument, McClinton drove his car off the side of the roadway in an apparent attempt to crash it into the Bay, Wagstaffe said.
When the car hit a barrier and came to a stop, McClinton grabbed his wife, pulled her out of the vehicle and tried to throw her off the bridge into the water, Wagstaffe said.
Several motorists who witnessed the incident got out of their vehicles and barely prevented the victim from falling by grabbing her legs, according to Wagstaffe.
McClinton fell about 15 feet from the bridge into the Bay and was arrested after the U.S. Coast Guard pulled him from the water.
His wife suffered a gash stretching from the side of her mouth to her cheek that required several stitches to close, Wagstaffe said. It was not immediately clear how she was injured, he said.
According to investigators, McClinton had been showing signs of paranoia over two weeks prior to the attack on his wife. He had apparently said that people were trying to break into his home and kill him, Wagstaffe said.
The couple has three young children together, the district attorney said.
McClinton did not enter a plea at Monday's hearing, according to the district attorney's office. He is scheduled to return to court on Friday and is being held without bail at San Mateo County Jail.

Next Generation Ballet
Ballet companies routinely make a loss at the box office, and depend on external financial support of one kind or another. In Europe most of this support comes in the form of government subsidies, though private donations are usually solicited as well. In North America private donations are the main source of external funding.
Many ballet companies have an associated school which trains dancers. Traditionally the school would provide almost all of the company's dancers, something which helped to create clear distinctions in style between companies, but 21st century ballet has open hiring practices, and many ballet companies have a very international staff.

Sydney's top Windows Phone apps…
Who the heck is Sydney and why should you care? Good question. Sydney is Sydney Myers, teen lifestyle editor of the mobile tech site Phonedog. You may remember that we featured Sydney here last week when she wrote an illuminating essay on why she switched to Windows Phone from Android. Well, now Sydney has struck again. This time she's named her 10 favorite Windows Phone apps, and it's a refreshingly quirky list. Always fun to see the phone, and Marketplace, through the eyes of a new convert. Check out her list
…and Gizmodo's
Gizmodo, meanwhile, maintains its own authoritative lists of what its editors deem the absolute best apps for each major mobile platform. The lists are updated monthly, and Giz just published its Windows Phone picks for July. Which Marketplace apps made the cut? Click here to find out. "Windows Phone 7 is impressively rounding itself to an awesome OS," the editors write in the new intro.

thanks..for giving solutions on my quires...
@everyone who answered my question. Thanks, guys. Lots of good points and ideas here. I especially like the one about the official version of app X appearing at the top of search results. As for finding great apps, my own personal feeling as someone who tries to stay familiar with and uses all the major app stores is that common search pivots like New or Top are handy--but not the only answer. I think automated app lists and lists compiled by people ("Top 10 Amazing Indie Games You've Never Heard Of") are complimentary, and it's good to have both.
As a result, expect to see more of the latter here. :-) Please keep the thoughts, opinions, and suggestions coming.
@tsrblke....now, see, I really don't understand why a person who wants a consolidated inbox wouldn't want to let Hotmail do it. It has a very good spam filter (which I didn't realize initially) and so it's taking in all my various email addresses and cleaning the garbage out on top of any spam filtering that my individual email providers might be doing. I suppose I could be convinced, but the fact that I have a consistent presentation regardless of platform makes much more sense to me--it's a lot easier to spot an anomaly.
@srikanth reddy and Scuba
Mango is going to include combined inboxing as well. I can understand why some people don't want to have to do it through hotmail. I like my mail accounts to be seperate, but I'm sure some people would like to only have one on the phone (even if they're seperate on a nonmobile device).
@srikanth reddy....On accessing apps in the phone, I'm not sure what you mean. The method now used makes better sense on the phone, e.g., pinned apps & hubs on the Start page and the entire list of apps swiped to the right. Mango will add the jump list (like the People Hub and the Zune Hub).
On the second issue of "Favorite/Recent" apps, again, this is where your Start page comes in. I'm trying to see what the value would be of a THIRD page that just holds recently used apps. If they are recent enough for me to want to call up, I darn well would add them to my Start page.
I don't understand what you mean by the "Search box metro UI interface". Mango adds local search to the search capabilities.
On the 'one common mailbox live tile" you already have that in the current release of WP7. I have four different email addresses all connected within Hotmail. If you go into the Inbox and then select the dropdown for Options you'll see where you can easily configure Hotmail to send AND/OR receive from multiple accounts. You can also configure it to either drop them all into the same inbox folder or separate ones. Once this is configured in Hotmail, your WP7 device will show all those different email sources as one live tile. I love it. And, since it's "managed" from within Hotmail, it doesn't matter whether I'm on my Samsung Focus, my laptop or my desktop computers, the user experience is identical. Mango will enhance the email experience for handling multiple accounts as well.
Regarding one common live tile for chat....there's more integration coming in Mango, as well as threading, so I think most of what you're looking for will be incorporated there.
hi..im very happy user with my windows 7 mbile.. still looking for the following features in upcoming windows phones::
to access apps in phone..implememt zune local place/zune system place (like zune market place)
with same zune market interface (add recent /favorite apps)in horizontal...direction
search box metro ui interface (it should first list from metro interface tiles..next go to apps)
one common mail box live tile for all mail configured in the mobile(hotmail.gmail.yahoo mail) implement mil box/virtual mail
one common live tile chat box for all chat clents configured (fb.msn.skype.yahoomail) chat box/virtual chat it should list all the availble people from all the chat clients configured
Fair point, and I'm sure at least a few of them have overlapping systems. So there should be some condense down somewhere.
I guess I'd have to understand more about the Transit thing. I don't do mass transit here in the U.S. I was forced to experience it a bit back in the 80's when I was on a show tour, but it seems to be a well-crafted app would take variations into account. It seems just a bit.....lazy....to me to just pump out 32 transit apps for 32 individual cities. If other developers can load in-app to grab additional content, I'd have to hear a pretty compelling reason why it can't be done with those apps, too.
@ ScubaDog2011,
Your point is well taken, but if I punch in "Foursquare" return Foursquare. Perhaps then return apps using some algorithm involving similarity mixed with downloads. Rightnow punching in "Foursquare" nets me 1) foursquare (yay!) 2) Droid 7 (WTF?) and 3) 4th and Mayor (which your right was better until 2.0). But what if 4th and Mayor hadn't been so run away popular? What if it were like news apps where people were downloading them en masse trying to find the good ones? That's what the rest of the marketplace looks like. If official apps came first, followed by the highest downloaded SIMILAR apps (based on category and something else) we'd be a lot better off.
Also 4th and Mayor is a perfect counter example to what I said (i.e. how it should be done). No where in the title or logo did it say or use iconography that said "Foursquare" thus telling me that it wasn't official. I'm like that, really. I guess what I really want is MS to purge trademarked things that aren't legit.
Meanwhile on multiple City things. Yes, 1000 times yes...but. I can see a few problems. Transit sites may use wildly different API's to plug into their schedules and bush locators. I'm not a programmer, is it possible to handle that well in one app? If so then yeah, MS should od a marketplace cull going through and removing devs who clearly just spammed the marketplace.
@Kenny Rawlins, exactly my point: Multiple apps whose only differentiation is that they are a different city should be prohibited. If you can't write the app to allow the user to load or select what they want, then go back to developer's school.
@tsrblke, I like the idea of having the official app always be the first one of the list and then, maybe, followed by the rest sorted by rating? Or, have a sort option at the top (alpha, rating, official, etc.). After all, let's face it, sometimes the official app is NOT the best one (e.g., 4th & Mayor was way better than the official Foursquare app until recently).
I'll like to say tes,though not so sure about how to implement it,but I think it can be done neatly.for example,Mustard software have different apps for each category of Yahoo news,same as EZ who have different weather apps for each city.things like this this should not be allowed it just makes the list to browse lengthy.I for one love the HTC hub and the way the weather works there,I can add cities if I want,the live tile updates itself when I travel from one city to another.
Another idea I just thought of is to include the number of times an app was downloaded
Obviously there would be plenty of exceptions, but how about creating subcategories? For example under "tools" would be
"non phone tools" and then the "flashlights", "compasses", "levels" etc. And keep it dynamic to grow as the market changes. This would simplify searches also.
@Scuba, Michael (spelled properly this time!)
Something else to consider is the fact that too many people are using for their iconography official images and names causing confusion.
I hold as my example CNN. Run that through the ZUNE marketplace. I count 10 or 11 apps that are all using the name "CNN" and the "CNN logo." Not a single one of these is official, several are pay apps and a few are just varients (the various sections of CNN's website) If I punch in recognizable name (Like CNN, Bank of America, whatever) I don't mind extraneous apps showing up....BUT the first app that shows up ought be the official one (assuming one exists) and any that use official logos ought be official. Otherwise your just waiting my time having to plow through looking for an official app only to find one doesn't exist. (The same thing happens for BBC). What's worse is skimming these reviews, most of these apps are just RSS readers or even worse, wrappers for the CNN mobile page. How did this junk even make it past review, much less with official names and logos attached to them.
Oddly there was an official Colbert Report app, it got pulled and now some crappy unofficial one is the only thing that comes up when you search.
@Michael Stroh....I think that would, in fact, be helpful, but I'm struggling to imagine what form that would take. I think most realize that there are often user reviews that you can read when you look at the details of an app. And, of course, there area number of recognized sites that do frequent reviews of individual or like-category apps. Having some sort of consolidated place for that might be better, but, again, I try to look at solutions from a Lean perspective, and I can't think of a good proposal. It should be something that really answers the Voice of the Customer, but is easy enough to maintain by Microsoft--or whomever--that it's a reliable source. Most processes fail because they are cumbersome to maintain.
Speaking more to the direct problem statement, there are so many apps of dubious value & quality (plethora of comic book apps, for example) that it does make it challenging to even DO an "new app" list and find something that strikes our fancy. To be honest, every few days I go into Zune and pull up the New Apps just to see if there's anything that I might want--it might not be something I was specifically looking for, but sometimes "window shopping" reveals some gems. If Zune had a "Review/Comparison" section or if there was a WP7 app for that, something like that might work. Of course, doing reviews & comparisons is always time intensive and, to some degree, subjective. Personally, I find comparison reviews much more helpful (e.g., compare weather apps).
I know Microsoft has made some changes to their app policy while trying to keep the process as easy as possible for developers--and it's helped some. I noticed that additional categories have shown up in the Marketplace, which helps create more specificity when looking for apps. And, of course, the star-rating is there as you list apps. Perhaps also adding the count of reviews to the star-rating? I tend to place more validity in a 5-star rating if it's had 30 reviews than if it's only had 6. Perhaps, also, creating an icon for "Editor's Pick". As a scuba diver, I like when the magazines do comparisions and then also mark their Pick. Again, these are resource intensive, and I'm struggling to come up with a good suggestion on execution.
Update Samsung Omnia 7 - 'NoDe'
we just please help.
@ mckrusher
We need quality in advertising as well!
"Quality over Quantity" (Noting prior mention about number of apps) I couldn't agree more.
I'm tempted to say "Yes Yes 100000 times Yes" but....the problem is that your app preferences may not be the same as my app preferences. For example, I hated the accuweather app (it broke my live tiles they no longer refreshed!) but I like the weather channel app, (it could use some speed improvements). But I keep hearing about the accuweather (or weather bug, which I never got a working live tile for).
That being said, apps where there are 300 free versions (I'm looking at you flashlight!) it might be beneficial to have a discerning human give the top 1 (or 2 maybe) or at least tell us "None use the LED, so yeah...just give up."
Or Weight watcher's points. The official app isn't all that great, but even before an official app there were like 5 unofficial ones, maybe have a discerning human limit that down?
@Angel, Kenny, Scuba, Hawk: Interesting discussion. Do you think that it would be helpful--in addition to the typical automated sorting options you find in an app store--to have more lists and articles written by discriminating humans that feature or call out good/interesting apps?
Would you find that useful?
Or would you still feel compelled to slog through all the new entries in Marketplace yourself regardless?
I agree with Angel...there are way too many apps that are total crap. Wish I could sort apps by ratings. At least then I could avoid most of the crap!
Now isn't THAT funny? In an age where most people seem to stand on the "my phone has more apps than your phone", people are actually complaining that there are too many apps? I wonder if I could suggest that WP7 users are more discriminating and, dare I say, a bit smarter than iPhone or Android users because we aren't fooled by the sheer number of apps--we're more interested in significant UTILITY of the apps that are available? Just a thought.
@u2dave to your point as well if a company uses Concur (mine does) not having support for a particular mobile platform (such as Windows Phone) may discourage adoption of that platform in the workplace. Right now, my company is moving away from BB to Iphone and lack of support from a player like Concur will certainly curb any effort to Support Windows Phone in the future.
@Angel Kavazov
Completely agree with you there's just too much crap in the marketplace and atimes the best apps are right at the bottom of the list
@U2Dave....might I suggest the Dell Venue Pro. That will give you your keyboard. And while I can't help you with suggestions on Concur, it might well be that Concur couldn't work on current WP7 devices (necessary APIs not available, etc.). Once Mango comes out maybe the platform will be complatible with how their development team would implement that app. What do THEY say when you talk to them?
Looks pretty sweet. Keep up the good work!
Sometimes, I wish there were a lot less apps available for download. Some of the crap that is currently on the Marketplace is unbearable to scroll through.
@Leigh It's not realy my personal choice. Since my company (One of the other top 10 IT companies) along with many other US businesses outsources our travel to AMEX Travel and Concur is their online expense tracking and approval system. Concur Mobile is simply the smart client for the online Concur travel/expense system.
In the past I've always advocated that Windows smartphones are for working professionals but now that my coworkers with their Androids, iPhones and Blackberrys have business apps like Concur Mobile the opposite is becoming true.
With so many working US business professionals using Concur it would probably be worth Brandon Watson's time to help convince American Express Travel to support Windows smartphones with their Concur Mobile App.
Even though I am a longtime fan of Microsoft products I need to pick a platform that supports the business apps I need to be more productive.
@u2dave: plenty of expense tracking apps. Why that one in particular?
Contradiction is standard practice for most businesses and governments. If you're really interested in getting concur on the platform, have them contact Brandon Watson. He'll evangelize them. If you choose to leave, I'm pretty sure you'll be back later.
Enjoy Windows Phone 7.1!
This is great progress, but we really need some weekly updates as far as WP's upcoming marketing plans. How hard will MS push Mango devices and from how many angles? Updates are important to us current subscribers but we're not enough to keep the platform afloat. Please let us known that all your hard work and efforts will finally be made public,,, if that's the case.
I'm a longtime Windows Mobile professional and I was planning on switching from my HTC HD2 to a portrait QWERTY Mango device from Nokia or Samsung however since Microsoft pulled the plug in July on the Windows Mobile Marketplace and the My Phone app I'm strongly considering jumping to Android. This move by Microsoft made my HD2 prematurely obsolete. I also miss the efficient tactile QWERTY keyboard I had on my WM 6.5.3 Palm Treo Pro.
As a road warrior the clincher for me not being able to rationalize waiting for a Mango device much longer are the following statements from Concur.
These statements from Concur are an absolute contradiction.
1) Our relationships with each of our customers is of paramount importance to us at Concur.
2) We recognize and honor that many companies have chosen Windows Phone 7 as their platform of choice.
3) We do not currently support Windows phones and it is not in our short term roadmap to do so.
This does not compute. Statements 2+3 equal the opposite of 1.
Therefor until Concur changes statement 3 to read:
"Windows phones are on our short term roadmap."
Concur is actually saying:
"Our relationships with each of our customers are of very little importance to us at Concur.
If Microsoft can't convince Concur to support the Windows Phone platform by September 30th I will become a former Windows Mobile professional.

CNHI News Service
KOKOMO, Ind. - A newspaper carrier saved the life of a 93-year-old who fell inside her apartment and was trapped for nearly three days without food or water.
Esther Wilkins had just returned from church Wednesday evening when she tripped and fell in her kitchen. Earlier in the day she'd taken off her medical alert bracelet, which has a help button for emergencies.
"That night I just had to spread out on the cold tiles on the kitchen floor to sleep," said Wilkins, who lives alone.
Thus began an ordeal that lasted until Saturday morning, when Wilkins yelled to get the attention of Sam Gregory, 27, as he was hanging a copy of the Kokomo Tribune inside her storm door. Gregory has been delivering the paper for about six months.
On Monday, Wilkins was recovering in the hospital, looking forward to physical therapy and making plans to change her living arrangements so she'll no longer be alone.
"The whole thing was very traumatic," she said, "but I feel like I'm getting back to normal."
After spending Wednesday night on the kitchen floor, Wilkins discovered she could use a chair with wheels to scoot around the apartment. She wasn't able to stand to reach her phone or the door handle. She managed to switch on the hallway light with her shoe, so she wasn't in the dark.
By Thursday night, she was frantically thinking of ways to get help. She thought of busting a window to shout for help but decided against it. "I kept trying, trying, trying to think of ways, but I just couldn't get help," she said.
Then, early Friday, Wilkins heard someone at the door and realized it was Gregory delivering the Tribune. He typically hangs the paper inside her storm door so she can easily reach it.
"I called out from the kitchen, 'Sam, Sam, I need help. This is Esther.'" But she was too far from the door for Gregory to hear, and he moved on.
Later that day, Wilkins began struggling with thirst and hunger. "I didn't have a drink of water or a bite of food for the whole time I was on the floor," she said.
She became delirious, she said, and saw the black-and-white photos on her wall appear in color and begin to move. Her lips were so parched, she said, she could easily peel off the skin.
Wilkins said she realized Gregory was her only chance. So, early Saturday, she shuffled toward the door and waited for the sound of the storm door.
Sure enough, at around 5 a.m., he arrived with the paper.
Gregory, 27, said he suspected something was amiss when he noticed Wilkins hadn't gotten her papers for two days. Then he heard her calling out his name.
"Once she knew she had my attention, she really started shouting," said Gregory.
Wilkins shouted to Gregory the combination to a lock box outside her house, where she kept a spare key. He opened the door to find her on the floor. He got her a glass of water, then called for help.
"That was the sweetest glass of water I've ever tasted," she said. "It was so, so good."
Doctors told Esther she was severely dehydrated. She might have died later that day had she not been found.
"I don't think I'd still be here if Sam hadn't found me," she said.
Carson Gerber is a reporter for the Kokomo, Ind., Tribune.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Officials in the Town of Lewiston have confirmed the completion of an investigation into an undisclosed "allegation" made against members of the town's police department.
Contacted by the Niagara Gazette, town representatives would not disclose the specific nature of the investigation on Thursday, saying only that the matter was resolved following consultation with the Niagara County District Attorney's office and the New York State Police.
"There was an investigation and it is completed," said town attorney Mark Davis. "At this point, I'm not aware of any further action that needs to be taken."
Town board members have met in executive session on several occasions in recent months to discuss what has been described in board minutes as "police personnel." When questioned about the nature of the meetings by the Gazette, Davis confirmed the investigation and that the town consulted with an outside attorney on the matter.
Town board member and current candidate for town supervisor Ernie Palmer said the town received "an allegation" against "some" of its officers. He said after reviewing the allegation, the town, following consultation with Lewiston Police Chief Christopher Salada, the district attorney's office and the state police, turned it over to a non-involved member of the town's department for further review. Due to personnel reasons, Palmer said he could not disclose the specific nature of the allegation or the outcome of the investigation.
"At this point, the investigation was turned over to a member of Lewiston police department, obviously who was not involved in the situation, who handled the internal investigation," Palmer said. "As a result, the town board decided to bring on the services of a police labor relations services attorney. He handled a lot of the back and forth with the police union. An agreement was reached and as of right now, the matter is closed."
Salada declined comment.

It's a little scary, but a lot of fun at the Omaha Children's Museum. Cobweb Castle, a haunted house that is just perfect for the little ones, is now open through October.
A pirate named Charlotte Longbeard is the hostess of the castle and leads tours every day.
Cobweb Castle combines just the right amount of fun with a little bit of fright to entertain even the youngest visitors.
Melissa Nipper brought her daughter, two-year-old Kate, to Cobweb Castle Tuesday morning.
"It's nice where they have this where she can come and celebrate Halloween. And it's not too scary. And she likes it and is excited," Nipper said.
The castle includes the Pirate's Parlor, Kooky Kitchen, Sir Spooky's Table, and Vampire's Batty Bedroom. There is also a maze called the Ghostly Graveyard.
Cobweb castle is free with regular museum admission.

It's been almost 2 ½ years since a 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti, but the relief effort is far from over. Only about half of the debris from the quake has been cleared, according to Oxfam. Only a fraction of the promised foreign aid has arrived, and more than a half million people are still living in tents, lacking basic necessities such as food, water or soap, let alone jobs.
It's been almost 2 ½ years since a 7.0 earthquake devastated Haiti, but the relief effort is far from over. Only about half of the debris from the quake has been cleared, according to Oxfam. Only a fraction of the promised foreign aid has arrived, and more than a half million people are still living in tents, lacking basic necessities such as food, water or soap, let alone jobs.
P.J. Pitts, a 2009 graduate of Pacific University's first pharmacy class, has been working to help since the beginning. She volunteered as a pharmacist in Haiti immediately after the quake and is continuing to work on trainings and projects for multiple humanitarian organizations in that country. She currently teaches classes at a new pharmacy school in New York, where she mentors American pharmacy students who spend two-week sessions helping in Haiti. She also is completing the paperwork to create a nonprofit charitable organization for Haiti.

A native Oregonian, Pitts started her journey as a child, developing a love of science through her family. Her grandmother, she said, was one of the first female science professors at San Jose State University.
As a child, Pitts played I Spy with Latin words. On vacations in the California desert, she and her siblings gathered and dissected coyote scat to see what the animals ate.
"I didn't know other people hadn't done things like that," Pitts said. "My family definitely had an influence on me."
Pitts took lots of science and math classes at Portland Community College and graduated from Portland State University with a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary science. As an undergrad, she studied Spanish for a quarter in Mexico, then came back to Oregon and worked as a pharmacy technician for several years while in school. She discovered that the Spanish helped her when many Spanish-speaking clients came to the pharmacy and needed help interpreting drug information.
But along with the science, Pitts also found a flair "for the artistic part of the brain." In high school, she did theater, sang and, for three years, and took part in Pacific University's Music in May, a long-time music festival for high school students from around the Northwest.
When she first interviewed as a possible pharmacy student on the Forest Grove campus, she said, "I knew where everything was…and it brought back some of my happiest memories. I knew I belonged at Pacific.
"When I showed up for pharmacy school, I felt I was going home."
Pitts completed her doctorate in pharmacy as part of Pacific's first class from the School of Pharmacy and went to work locally.
When the 2010 earthquake hit Haiti, Pitts worked with an organization called Project Medishare, volunteering to meet the immediate needs at a trauma hospital in Haiti. According to her blog, she worked in a tent hospital in the days after the quake, helping improvise medical care with few supplies and little electricity.
[Read the blog, P.J. Saves the World.]
As time went on, she said, she realized that a long-term health organization would be the key to maintaining good health care in that country.
She began working with Haitian community groups to provide health education and clinics. She also worked with Pacific alumnus, Terry Hartmann, PA '10, in providing health education and assessments at several orphanages in the country.
"One of the things that was sort of frustrating to me and to some of us who have done long-term work in Haiti, was that right after the quake, things are different," she said. "Right after a natural disaster, you have to go in, you have to do triage, do the best you can and help save people.
"But a year later, if you're looking at things you can do in a country…many NGOs (non-governmental organizations) were not necessarily doing a great job of training the locals."
So, as a result of the desire to do more than just handle an emergency, "we started looking at what were the things we could do that were sustainable, and the big thing that is sustainable is education," Pitts said.
"If a child is sick, has worms, and I de-worm him, that will solve the immediate problem. But in a month he will have worms again. But if I teach him and his parents how he is getting worms, and how to prevent infection, then that will make a bigger impact," she said.
"Of course, you still treat the worms now, but in a year, when that child is worm-free and so are his siblings, that will be because I educated and empowered his mother to care for them."
In addition to dealing with orphans and community health, Pitts is also very much involved in working with amputees. In particular, an amputee soccer team, Zaryen, has captured her heart, and she not only supports the team with funds for education, she talks to members two to four hours every week by phone.
[Watch the team play in its first competitive match on YouTube.]
Pitts and others started a program in Haiti called Medical Relief and Education International (MREI), which has two components: an orphan project and community health. Pitts is completing the paperwork required to make MREI a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization, which she said will allow a much more active presence in Haiti.
Pitts and others involved with her tackled community health in Haiti by going to town hall meetings, offering assessments, living in the communities with local families and listening to their concerns. Pitts said MREI empowers the locals to build partnerships with the relief organizations, rather than create a society of dependency.
"(Many NGOs) come in with ideas that they think will 'fix' Haiti, even if they've never been to Haiti or never met with anyone there to ask them about what they need," she said. "They basically come in, tell the Haitians what they need, then do it for them.
"When I go out to do trainings, I say, 'If you sit through our training, you will be able to keep your family healthy and keep cholera out of your home.' It takes a lot longer to do it the way I do, but I feel that it makes more of an impact. In addition to whatever we're trying to do, it empowers and strengthens the community. And when you include your target population in the development process, they take some ownership of it," Pitts said.
"When we had our first cholera disease training, we had 85 people show up," she said. "That was with no posters, publicity, just word of mouth."
A pediatric clinic the group offered, she said, brought in close to 1,000 Haitians, both children and adults. Using an interactive session with lots of posters with pictures, because many of the Haitians are illiterate, the clinic was done in cooperation with medical students and providers from Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
"We did this hour-long lesson, and it was really to empower the parents and caregivers…the things they could do to keep their kids healthy," she said.
Although Pitts is no longer full-time in Haiti, she is still very much involved. Now an assistant professor of pharmacy at D'Youville College in Buffalo, N.Y., she takes pharmacy students to Haiti on two-week-long trips and is developing relationships with clinics there. She also spends between 20 to 30 percent of her time at D'Youville teaching at the college, with the other time spent working at a refugee clinic in the Buffalo area.
All of this work relates to Pitts' hopes that pharmacy will provide international care to those who need it.
"My hope is that I will continue to make a difference in the world and inspire others to do the same," she said. "I hope that pharmacists will take a more active role in providing care to those in need, both here and abroad."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The number of criminal and violent incidents in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools continued climbing in 2012, fueled partly by a large and steadily growing number of assaults on teachers and other school employees, a new state report shows.
The annual report on crime and violence in N.C. public schools tallied 1,552 acts in CMS in 2011-12, including 512 incidents of students found with weapons other than guns, 434 drug possession incidents and 382 assaults on school employees. The CMS rate of 11.3 incidents per 1,000 students is well above the state rate of 7.6 per 1,000 and Wake County's rate of 7.5 per 1,000.
CMS reported eight guns in schools last year, including two at Turning Point Academy, an alternative school for students with discipline problems, and one each at Collinswood Language Academy, Endhaven and Hidden Valley elementary schools and Hough, North Mecklenburg and West Mecklenburg high schools. That's the largest number in the last four years, but well below a peak of 28 in 2006-07, when the district had fewer students.
Wake, the state's largest district, reported only two guns in schools last year. Wake tallied a total of 40 violent acts, compared with 124 in CMS.
The state requires all public schools to report 16 types of violent or criminal acts, which include various types of assaults and possession of alcohol, drugs, guns and other weapons. Statewide, the total number of incidents declined slightly from the previous year, even as total enrollment increased.
For the last three years, CMS totals have increased roughly in proportion with rising enrollment, with the rate per 1,000 students hovering just over 11.
The state report also breaks out the rate of criminal and violent acts for high school students. CMS logged 14.6 acts per 1,000-high schoolers, down from 16.9 the previous year and very similar to the state average. That's what CMS highlighted in a news release sent Friday evening, headlined "Crime in CMS high schools declines in 2012."
"We're pleased to see our rate declining in high schools but we won't be satisfied until it's at zero for all schools," Superintendent Heath Morrison said in that release.
Assaults on faculty
For the last several years, through various changes in district leadership, CMS officials have struggled to explain and address the high levels of crime and violence, and particularly the steep rise in assaults on staff. This year's total of 382 is up from 305 the previous year and 104 five years ago.
Judy Kidd, an Independence High teacher and president of the Classroom Teachers Association, said she's not surprised. At her school, she said, she knows of one student putting a substance into a teacher's coffee and another grabbing a teacher by the throat.
"There's no penalty," Kidd said.
She said CMS needs more alternative schools for the small number of students who are truly uncontrollable, and better career programs for students who aren't college-bound and get frustrated by classes they don't consider useful.
The Observer's effort to get comments on the report from CMS officials was unsuccessful.
In the past, officials have noted that assaults on staff can include relatively minor incidents, such as young children striking out or students intentionally bumping teachers in the hall. Metro and Morgan, special schools for students with disabilities, accounted for 67 of this year's assaults on staff, with a handful of elementary schools logging 10 or more such assaults.
CMS reported 12 assaults resulting in serious injury, a category that can include students or adults as victims.
The number of assaults on personnel reported statewide increased slightly, from 1,156 to 1,212. Without the CMS increase, the state total would be down slightly.
Ups and downs
CMS saw a steep climb in reports of sexual assault – a category that includes touching a person's private parts but does not include rape or any type of penetration. There were 75 sexual assaults reported in 2011-12, compared with 29 the previous year. CMS reported one rape and 18 cases of "sexual offense," which involves penetration or statutory rape.
However, possession of drugs and alcohol in CMS were down significantly, to four-year lows.
Morrison, who started in July, recently released his preliminary plan for the district. Safety and violence are not a major focus, but the plan calls for an anti-bullying campaign to "promote a safe school environment for every child."
Morrison recently created 22 volunteer task forces to help shape his plan moving ahead. None of those focuses on safety, but he said Friday morning that the panel on "culture, engagement and shared values" could look at safety as part of the school culture.
Kicked out
The state report also looks at the number of students who are suspended and expelled.
CMS reported almost 50 short-term suspensions for every 100 high school students, well above the state average of 30 per 100 and Wake's rate of 16 per 100. Because some students are suspended more than once, the numbers don't mean half of all CMS high school students were suspended.
African-American students, who made up 42 percent of CMS enrollment last year, accounted for 77 percent of the short-term suspensions.
Morrison said Friday morning that pattern is common across the country. While some serious offenses clearly demand suspension, he said, national studies show that most suspensions stem from insubordination and disrespect, issues that can arise when teachers don't understand the culture of students, and clashes escalate.
Morrison has made cultural competency a focus of his plans for CMS. One of his task forces will focus on African-American males.
Long-term suspensions, which last 11 days to one school year and can include assignment to an alternative school, were uncommon in CMS and statewide. There were 88 in CMS and 1,609 statewide.
Expulsions were even rarer, with none reported in CMS last year. Statewide there were 30 expulsions, down from 69 the previous year.
"An expulsion is usually reserved for cases where the student is at least 14 years of age and presents a clear threat of danger to self or others," the report says.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — Darwin L. Martino, 69, of Cross Road in Plattsburgh, died Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013, with his family by his side.
He was born in Plattsburgh on May 1, 1944, the son of the late George R. Martineau and Mabel Martineau.
Darwin's source of pride was that of his family, the one he was born into and the one he created with his late wife, Mary J. Martino. He was the definition of "role model" to his children. With guidance and love, he set the standard for qualities such as kindness, caring, loyalty, honesty, and respect. It is a legacy of love that cannot be taken even in death. It lends
us grace and gives us courage.
Darwin had a passion for working in his garage and loved to hunt and fish. He worked for many years as a supervisor at Plattco and took pride in his work.
Of all accomplishments, Darwin's greatest achievements have been in the lives of his family and friends. He had a unique gift to recognize and appreciate the talents in others and to make them feel loved and lifted by his presence. His creative and crafty mind, kind heart and unconditional love allowed him to make everything from family gatherings, to a simple story told to the grandchildren sparkle. His generous heart filled his home with love, fun, family and friends, including an attitude that there was always room for one more. He leaves all his children and grandchildren with the knowledge that they were truly loved. His generosity to all who had the pleasure in sharing his life will always be remembered. Without Darwin, our hearts are broken and our tears endless, but our memories and joys are immeasurable. His laughter and smile will never leave our memories. We will continue to see Darwin in the beauty and personalities of his four grandchildren. We have cherished every second spent with him.
Darwin leaves behind on earth his children, Darwin G. Martino, Tammy Collins and her husband John Collins, and Maryann Joyner and her husband Brooks Joyner; his granddaughters, Ashley Moncrief, Marlena Martino, Jessica Kramer and Samantha Collins; his brother, Ugene Martineau; and many nieces and nephews.
His wife Mary J. Martino; his parents George and Mabel Martineau; his brothers Harold Martineau, Daniel Martineau, Gordon Martineau, and Ronald Martineau; and his sisters, Laura Reil, Isabelle Chamberlain and Mildred Brown predecease him.
Family will receive friends from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, at Brown Funeral Home in Plattsburgh, N.Y. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24, at funeral home chapel. Burial will follow in St. Peter's Cemetery in Plattsburgh.
Arrangements are entrusted to Brown Funeral Home, 29 Broad Street, Plattsburgh, NY 12901. (518) 561-3980. Online condolences and memorial candles may be offered at www.brownfuneralhomeinc.com.

Street artist Apex's new show — and departure from the Mid-Market area — is a sign of the times
VISUAL ARTS Glossy and matte stripes alternate across the walls and floor of the 941 Geary gallery in the Tenderloin, occasionally illuminated by striking reflections from the exhibition's 10 hanging canvases. These are perfectly symmetrical morphs of traditional letter-form graffiti, each done in Easter-ready pastels, save for a black-and-white tag that takes up one enormous gallery wall.
"I just want to continue painting different visions I have," says the creator of this immersive art experience, visual artist Ricardo "Apex" Richey. He got his start tagging the streets of San Francisco in the early 1980s, perfecting his now-revered, precise hand forms inside Muni buses and walls around the city.
"Reflected," this new solo show, plays on the entrance into the gallery world of an art form once done covertly on exterior walls. He's taking graffiti and, like artists before him, skewing and reimagining it. "Abstracting the notion of Apex," he tells me.
With the current mania for street art-inspired pieces, Apex has been able to make a career of his work. He capitalizes on the legions of graff-nerd followers on his social networks, and his drive to refract and skew the recognizable shape of graffiti in endless ways. The 941 Geary show was inspired by an iPhone app that allowed him to mirror pre-existing works. After speaking with Justin Giarla, founder of 941 and the rest of the White Walls family of urban art galleries, the two decided the idea merited more exploration.
But during the same week "Reflection" opened, Apex's personal life was morphing as well. After three years in an epic factory-cum-studio on Market and Sixth Street, his building was sold and he was out. Goodbye to its 13-foot ceilings and the rotating, 10-foot high windows that look out on Market.
And goodbye to the museum he'd been curating upstairs on the roof, where SF street artists Chez and Neon had contributed massive works, among others. Painted vegetation by muralist Mona Caron curled to the sun in a piece one could nearly see from Trailhead, the pop-up cafe down the street in the Renoir Hotel whose back wall, by chance, is graced by a collaboration mural done by Caron and Apex.
If you wander around the Mid-Market neighborhood, it's not hard to see that Apex spends his nights working in a neighborhood studio. He's certainly left his mark. The first piece in the area was Yerba Buena Liquors' sign, years ago. Since then he's painted all over the place. The corner of Turk, Mason, and Market Streets is graced by a super-burner of his, a phrase coined to describe his pieces that use hundreds of hues of aerosol.
"I would love to stay there," he tells me at his new FiDi day job (more on that in a sec.) "In that regard, this is kind of sad." But Apex knew he was in the studio and roof space on borrowed time — rumors had swirled since he first moved in that the building was for sale. He sees the "gradient" of real estate prices, that Sixth Street was an anomaly in a ridiculously expensive city to live in.
"On one hand it sucks, on the other, I understand it. Overall, it's better for the city." He's looking for a new space anywhere in the "industrial band" that loops between his old studio and Potrero Hill, hoping to get lucky with one of the city's few remaining industrial spaces.
It is really too bad that the NIMBYs at THD have priced artists like this out of town.
the most suitable spaces are often indistrial type spaces with high ceilings and good light. Right now that is most affordably found in Oakland or in the SE part of the city.
I wouldn't expect much discretionary activity with a low economic significance to continue to take place close to downtown, due to other demands for the space that are more fiscally viable.
You can also build social networking sites pretty much anywhere. And last I checked, Twitter's far from "fiscally viable."
