Joseph Aguon believes in preparing for the worst. So even though he makes most of his calls using a cellphone, he maintains a landline at his home in the Fairfax neighborhood — just in case an earthquake or storm knocked out wireless service.
But Aguon, 61, is finally ready to cut the cord, not because he's less mindful of potential disasters, but because AT&T keeps jacking up his rates.
I've heard from dozens of AT&T customers in recent weeks about big jumps in their bills for basic landlines and measured phone service, which provides customers with a fixed number of local calls each month.
Phone rates: In the Feb. 12 Business section, a column about rising rates for basic telephone service said that Verizon had raised its monthly rate for basic phone service by $1.90 in 2010. The monthly increase was $1, to $20.91. —
Welcome to the exciting world of deregulation, where state officials allow phone companies to do as they please in hopes of encouraging a more competitive marketplace.
Quiz: How well do you remember 2012?
In Aguon's case, he paid about $20 for his landline in 2011. Last year, the cost rose 15% to $23. Now he's learned his monthly bill has climbed an additional 26% to $29.
That's a 45% rate hike in just two years. And did Aguon's service improve appreciably during that time?
"Not at all," he told me. "It's a landline. You call people. People call you. It's a landline."
Like Aguon, Peter Nardi, 65, maintains a landline at his Los Feliz home just to be on the safe side. His measured service plan cost $12 a month in 2011. It now runs $18.
"That's a 50% increase," Nardi said. "So I called AT&T to complain."
What did the company say?
"They apologized but said there was nothing they could do."
In fact, AT&T can do whatever it wants.
Since 2011, the California Public Utilities Commission has allowed phone companies to raise — or lower — basic phone rates whenever they choose, rather than seek approval from regulators. Since then, costs have steadily gone up.
Jarryd Gonzales, a Verizon spokesman, said the company raised its monthly rate $1.90 for basic phone service to $20.91 in 2010. He said the rate will climb again, to $22, next month.
"They're doing it because they can do it," said Bill Nusbaum, managing attorney for the Utility Reform Network, a San Francisco advocacy group. "The PUC has turned its back on the market."
That's not how AT&T would characterize things. Lane Kasselman, a company spokesman, defended the latest price hikes by saying they "reflect changes in the marketplace."

Casinos >Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa
1 Borgata Way, Atlantic City, NJ | Directions 0840139.377072 -74.434519
Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm;Sat. - Sun. CLOSED
Neighborhoods: Absecon
I love it! – The hotel by itself is a peace of art. The rooms are spacious and beautifull. The restaurants offers the greatest dishes. My favorite is the OLD HOMESTEAD STEAKHOUSE, but IZAKAYA or SEABLUE are very good too. OK, I love this hotel.
Borgata has been my house of gambling since the day it opened. I have a four day work, which leaves me a lot of free time. I have made frequent trips to the Borgata the past few years, about once every two or three weeks,
The service and comped rooms are never a problem. I have never been turned down, not even at the last minute.
This is where it gets ugly.
When Borgata first opened, the slots were very loose. ( even J lo's mom won 1 million dollars), you could always gamble for hours on end, never a big win, but always a good play for your buck.
But ever since they started building the new tower, and the revenue decline in Atlantic city 2007, the slot play has become horrible out right disgusting.
the machines have definitely been tightened beyond comprehension. While this may not be apparent to the once in while gambler, as a routine gambler its almost impossible to win now at the Borgata.
My biggest problem is that I didn't see it coming until $12,000 down over a three month period starting Nov. 2007 till present.
The slots eat money like water. The high roller room buzzes with winners for about 10 minutes on a Saturday nite and then goes dead. Lots of sad frustrated high rollers just looking at their face tells you things have gotten very tight.
Its sad to see that the borgata once an beacon in the fog has turned tight like all the rest. Take my advice if you want a casino to gamble stay the hell away from the borgata until they loosen up, which looks like it wont be anytime soon.
not to mention the new 20 something crowd the casino is catering to, loud noisy drunk kids running up and down the slot aisle, not something to hear or watch while your losing your shirt.
Casino not for players – I went back to the Borgata after being away for a year and it's turned into a poor exp for those of us who enjoy gaming. Yes, some of us like to gamble and don't want or need the belly shots at the bar to have a good time. We're into the casino, gaming, card and dice.
The first thing I've noticed is that the rooms/suites have become run down and dirty. The casino hosts and casino staff are not nice if not down right rude. The casino is filled with drunk kids and I saw stuff go on in a casino that would not be tolerated in Las Vegas or other Atlantic City casinos.
I think the Borgata has turned into a 20 somthing hangout for those that like to act like animals, get drunk, fight, get sick in the halls and trash the rooms.
The Borgata is NOT for the serious player or anyone who is used to Las Vegas style gaming. How are they making money when any serious player will not go back again once they see what the place has become?
THE BEST ITALIAN BISTRO IN THE COUNTRY....PERHAPS EVEN ITALY!! – I'm putting this review in the hotel section because Citysearch does not recognize this restaurant in the Borgata. Ombra is the most important new Italian restaurant that I have visited in the last year; Luke Palladino and his staff deserve accolades for their creativity and dedication to authenticity. The main menu is exceptional and every dish is solid and worth having; however, what makes this restaurant truly outstanding and unique is the bar/bistro area and it's separate bar/happy hour menu. Please go with a good friend and try as many of the 'Italian tapas" that you can eat. For example, the fritelle (fried spaghetti, salami, and pecorino cheese shaped into puffy squares), the arancini (risotto fritters stuffed with cheese, black truffle and scallion), the pasticiatti (soft polenta, sausage, and gorgonzola) cooked in its own little kettle, the salamis, cheeses, etc, etc. The wine list is extensive, wine by the glass is well represented. You can sit at the bar or in the bar area and have complete dinners with decanted (by the sommelier) wine from the main menu; but the bistro menu is unique and the best "Italian comfort food" that I have ever eaten in the United States. The service/staff is excellent; go back a second time and I bet that they will remember what you had the last visit...even the wine that you drank. Luke Palladino needs to bring this bistro concept to Las Vegas; much like the quality and fun of Mon Ami Gabi at the Paris Hotel or Artisinal in New York City that was the brainchild of Terrance Brennan (Picholine) and his fromagier Max McCallan, this concept of Italian Bistro fare could recreate the passion and joy of eating Italian cooking in the United States.
Beautifully done – Best casino in Atlantic City by far. Steve Wyn really took Vegas to AC, which was a very difficult task. For a great casino experience you can't beat Bellagio or Venetian, but the Borgata is by far the best of the East Coast. And much more practical seeing as its only a drive from NYC, PA, etc.
Best Room I've Seen In AC – even the basic room is really well done. nice furniture, look and comfort. the only problem is that it is hard to get a room at times and can be really expensive. the restaurants are all really good, but also expensive.
Sets the standard – We had not gone to Atlantic City for several years do to the terrible gambling conditions and inferior condition of most of the Boardwalk casinos. This all changed upon the construction of Borgata which raised the bar by a factor of 5 when it opened. We received an offer for a free night and decided to give Borgata a try since I had hear its video poker was better than the norm. We were delighted by the overall hotel/casino at every level from architecture, lobby, service, rooms, gambling and restaurants.
Presents a New Face for AC – AC is generally lackluster in filling grand gambling dreams but, the Borgata is hopefully a new generation of hotels in AC. The Borgata is designed with luxury in mind. The complete marble bathroom at the suite we stayed in was huge with dual sinks, bath built for two, clear shower, closet and vanity table all in one. The view was panoramic. The hotel and gambling floor itself are upscale. There are tons of great restaurants and the cafeteria of food offereings is absolutely beautiful in full white marble and white lighting. If you're a guest, head to the indoor pool and outdoor lounge area which will make you feel as if you've been partially transported to old world European charm. Overall, a must try. I loved it.
Abundance is the name of the game at this luxury resort hotel, casino and spa. – In Short
Spending the night? Choose from classic rooms with marbled baths, studio suites with 42-inch plasma TVs or Piatto suites with private wet bars. Hotel rooms are one facet of this luxury resort. Its casino features everything from slot machines to six-seat blackjack tables. After gambling, choose from one of 11 on-site restaurants, including four fine-dining picks. Don't miss the 50,000-square-foot full-service spa with posh salon and retro barbershop.
Totally Awesome – After having been in several hotels in Las Vegas and Atlantic City, I must say The Borgata is far superior to any other. Rooms are unbelievable with beds that can't be beat. The restaurants are the best, and the casino - what can I say, the best slots anywhere.

Source Organization: Safe Small-Dollar Loans Research Project
Author: Tim Warren
09/25/2012 - Payday loans, which may look like a quick, easy answer to cash-flow problems, actually cost borrowers far more than anticipated because the loans often take months to repay, according to a survey by Pew's Safe Small-Dollar Loans Research Project."The way a payday loan is packaged—as a short-term solution for unexpected expenses—is a problem," said project director Nick Bourke. "We found that consumers are in debt on average for five months. The loans can be challenging because the borrower either must pay in full on the next payday or submit another fee to move the due date forward two weeks."The report, Payday Lending in America: Who Borrows, Where They Borrow, and Why, found that Americans spend $7.4 billion on such loans annually. Of the 5.5 percent of adults who used payday loans in the past five years, three-fourths went to storefront lenders and nearly one-fourth went online. Sixty-nine percent of first-time borrowers used the loans for paying utility and credit card bills and other recurring expenses. Payday Lending surveyed nearly 50,000 adults in the continental United States over nine months to get a representative sample and convened 10 focus groups."We gained a lot of insight into how people manage their finances and what they think about borrowing," Bourke said. "A lot of people who have been struggling financially become familiar with credit cards, student loans and other debt and are skeptical of taking on more. That's one reason they chose a payday loan—the promise of a short-term solution. Most often, that's not the result."The report comes at an important time because the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been tasked with creating a national policy on payday loans. Pew project staff has met with the bureau about the findings and plans other reports.To learn more, go to www.pewtrusts.org/small-loans.

The Redwoods
Here sown by the Creator's hand,
In serried ranks, the Redwoods stand;
No other climb is honored so,
No other lands their glory know.
The greatest of Earth's living forms,
Tall conquerors that laugh at storms;
Their challenge still unanswered rings,
Through fifty centuries of kings.
The nations that with them were young,
Rich empires, with their forts far-flung.
Lie buried now --- their splendor gone;
But these proud monarchs still live on.
So shall they live, when ends our day,
When our crude citadels decay;
For brief the years allotted man,
But infinite perennials' span.
This is their temple, vaulted high,
And here we pause with reverent eye.
With silent tongue and awe-struct soul;
For here we sense life's proper goal;
To be like these, straight, true and fine,
To make our world, like theirs, a shrine;
Sink down, Oh, traveller, on your knees,
God stands before you in these trees.

PORTLAND – State legislators said Monday they will consider increasing the frequency of restaurant inspections and hiring more inspectors a day after the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram reported that Maine has one of the least rigorous restaurant inspection programs in the nation, both in terms of frequency and making information available to the public.

IF YOU THINK you got sick from eating out or want to lodge a complaint about safety or cleanliness, call the Health Inspection Program at 287-5671. In a case of illness, you can also call the state's Emergency Consultation and Disease Reporting Line at (800) 821-5821.
RESTAURANT INSPECTION reports may be requested by contacting the state or asking the restaurant.
INSPECTION REPORTS reports for restaurants located in Portland, South Portland, Lewiston, Auburn and Lisbon may be viewed at the municipality's town hall.

Complaints about restaurant cleanliness were on the rise in 2011 when lawmakers decreased the required frequency of routine kitchen inspections from once a year to once every two years. The change was made because the program did not have the staffing to comply with the annual requirement.
House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, said Monday through a spokeswoman that the Legislature should address the program's shortcomings during the next session. Eves will call on lawmakers to reconsider the frequency of inspections and consider hiring more inspectors, Jodi Quintero said.
"The results contained in the coverage certainly raise some very serious concerns and it's an issue that should be addressed in the future," she said.
Eves served on the Legislature's Health and Human Services Committee in 2011 and voted in favor of reducing the frequency of restaurant inspections.
Restaurant health complaints, such as food-borne illnesses or unsanitary conditions, rose 34 percent, from 160 to 215, in 2012, the first year of the new law. Complaints have nearly doubled since 2008, which produced 115 complaints.
Eves' vote in support of the change came with reservations, said Quintero, but the bill seemed like the only way to bring the understaffed department into compliance with the law because recent budgets have been so tight. The state has 11 health inspectors responsible for overseeing roughly 8,500 establishments, including restaurants, lodging facilities, body art studios and summer camps.
"What your article revealed is those concerns are bearing out," she said. "This is another reason why we need to properly fund our government -- to ensure our food is safe."
At least one legislator is already preparing a bill for the next legislative session. Rep. Janice Cooper, D-Yarmouth, plans to sponsor a bill to allow local health officers to conduct health inspections to supplement those done by the state.
Cooper proposed a similar bill this session, but it was killed this month. She said the findings of the Press Herald/Telegram report compelled her to make another proposal.
Cooper said she learned from the newspaper report that having inspections every two years "is really not the norm and not an effective way to monitor food safety."
She said administrators told legislators that the Health Inspection Program is working just fine and they never mentioned the increase in complaints about restaurants.
"It just doesn't add up," she said.
Municipalities are already required to have a local health officer, Cooper said. She wants local officers to be allowed to do inspections "to check for the obvious problems" and be able to shut down restaurants, if needed. Their decisions then could be upheld or overturned by state inspectors.
"Otherwise you have to wait two years, and that's appalling, really," she said.
Yarmouth required annual inspections by its local health officer in order for restaurants to keep their victualer's license from the town. But a law enacted last year prohibits local health officers from conducting health inspections unless delegated to do so by the state. The state allows only inspectors trained to its standards to inspect restaurants.
Since then, the town has stopped requiring restaurants to get victualer's licenses because the inspections were the only basis for whether to award them, said Town Manager Nat Tupper.
"The Legislature basically took this out of our hands," he said of the local oversight.

Best of Technical Support
How can I change the "user's name" in my finger information to a different name? For instance, how could I change my name from "Dave" to "David" ? What commands would I need to use? —David Innes
You can change that information (and more) using chfn (for change finger name). To just change the user's full name, use:
chfn -f "Full Name" username
For instance, to change the full name of the user "random" , you might enter:
chfn -f "J. Random Hacker" randomchanging the full name of the user "random" to "J. Random Hacker" .
If you run chfn as a regular user, you can leave out your own username since chfn defaults to changing your own information. (Only root can change another user's information.)
If you run chfn without the -f argument, it will prompt you for all the fields it can change. —Steven Pritchard President Southern Illinois Linux Users Group email@example.com
My distribution kernel is of version 2.0.27-5. What does the last number "5" mean? Some patch sublevel? Can I patch this kernel with patch-2.0.28 and patch-2.0.29 that are generally distributed at Linux web sites? Is this kernel somewhat modified and incompatible with these patches? —Oleg Zhirov Red Hat 4.1
The "-5" is a Red Hat-specific release number, For your particular version, it is the fifth time we've had to build the package for one reason or another. It has nothing to do with the kernel version or kernel patches.
This kernel should be patchable using the standard patches. However, I usually still suggest grabbing the entire tarball of the new version that you want, since there have been problems in the past with applying patches rather than using the full source. —Donnie Barnes Red Hat Software email@example.com
How can a non-root user leave a process running while not logged in? I have seen this done by detaching screens under various Unix flavors, yet I haven't found a similar program for Linux. —R. J. Rodd Slackware
Most of the Linux distributions come with the program screen which allows you to do just what you describe. If you don't have it, you can get the source for screen from: FTP://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/screen-3.7.2.tar.gz
It compiles on Linux easily. —Steven Pritchard President Southern Illinois Linux Users Group firstname.lastname@example.com
If you want to keep processes running in the background after you log out, you can employ the nohup command. Check the man page for details, but briefly, just insert nohup at the beginning of the command line you want to live on after you've logged out; e.g., if you've got a book you need to typset with LaTeX:
nohup latex book.tex &
Be sure to include the ampersand at the end to indicate to the system the process is to be run in the background. —Gary Moore, Technical Editor
I would like to place a Linux system on a network populated with IPX/SPX Netware file servers. I am hoping there is a way to give the Linux system a "Netware/IPX/SPX" personality, thus allowing access to it from existing Netware clients. Where can I get help? —Todd Morris Slackware 2.0.x
Take a look at the IPX HOWTO. Everything about IPX-based problems and solutions is explained in this document. —Pierre Ficheux Lectra Systemes
How do I make AfterStep the default window manager for X instead of fvwm2? —Mohammed Rizal Othman SuSE 4.4
For system-wide changes, edit the global xinitrc (usually in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/). To change your personal setup, edit the file .xinitrc (in your home directory) or, if you don't have an .xinitrc file, just copy the global xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc and edit that. —Steven Pritchard President Southern Illinois Linux Users Group email@example.com
I have been trying to create an entry in /etc/printcap for an HP Laser printer that is connected to the network using an HP Jetdirect card. I can get it to print, but I cannot get it to use the magic filter that comes with Red Hat to enable printing of PostScript files. Any help would be appreciated. —Pat Rooney Red Hat 4.1
Unfortunately, the normal lpd that we ship cannot handle using filters on remote printers. Only local printers may be filtered.
If you require this functionality, you can remove the lpd package and install LPRng or one of the other print servers available from the Internet. Red Hat is investigating the use of other print servers in future versions. —Donnie Barnes Red Hat Software email@example.com
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

ordered this motherboard 5,6 days ago,got it yesterday.
installation goes pretty well.i had phenom x2 550.
pros:- am3+ (supports all old as well as upcoming amd processors)
-usb 3.0? (future of usb)
-heatsink between input/output ports and socket( provides efficient cooling)
-an epic bios (help overclocking and unlocking)
-supports 4,5 fans( more cooling)
-supports crossfirex setup (future of gfx cards?)
-supports HD audio and 6.1 systems.
-supports 32 gb dual channel ddr3 ram.
-no integrated gfx card( no vga port).
so you need to install extra graphics card.
(i dont think this is really a con. its designed for gamers and 3d designers who need future proof pc in low price range.)
if you want to design a gaming rig with amd processor,simply buy it now and dont forget to thump up my review if it helps
-thanks and regards
This one is a superb motherboard. The UEFI BIOS and the features like mouse controlled BIOS tweaking makes this an ideal mobo for the price. I was really searching for the "EVO" or "PRO" version of this mobo which has some extra ports and some extras, since those are not available here in flipkart I went for this one.
-Asus AI Suite has features like FanXpert which lets you adjust the fan speed according to your taste
-TurboVevo overclocks the configuration without any effort from the user withot losing stability. (My 1075t went 3.5Ghz and memory timings were decreased)
-2xUSB 3.0
-6xUSB2.0( You will never run out of ports :D)
-Optical audio(I don't have one) and upto 7.1 speakers(I have 2.1)
-CrossfireX(The black one is x4 PCIe in the size of x16, so you can't SLI with this)
-Supports FX series processors.(BTW FX series processors don't perform so well. So stick with a phenom for now and pair it with a FX 2nd gen when it arrives.)
-Upto 32GB 1866Mhz RAM.(I got 8GB)
-No itegrated GPU( Yes It's a pro. Reason to buy a good GPU :D . I got a radeon 6850)
Okay let me come straight to the point. I know that this board is packed with lots of good/amazing features. I'll keep it short and precise.
> Please consider buying a bigger cabinet if you want to use this motherboard. You may face difficulty setting it up. But I'm sure if you're an expert you'll be able to handle it.
> No Vga/DVI/HDMI port available on this board. So make sure to keep an extra graphics card available in case of video related troubleshooting
> I wish there was a crossfire bridge included with the motherboard.
> GUI Bios setup is really awesome, the best I've ever seen.
> ASUS AI Suite II is one of the best utility included.
Overall I'm very satisfied with the motherboard. A very good Motherboard indeed !!!
I am using this motherboard with AMD FX 6300 CPU & Cooler Master Hyper 212X CPU fan. This is my full PC configuration for reference http://pcpartpicker.com/b/ENs
This motherboard supports automatic power and clock speed regulation which decreases power usage when you are doing lightweight work and increase CPU performance to full speed when you are playing games or converting a video.
The onboard audio is very good for headphones as it comes with headphone amplifier for both rear and front audio connector. Asus gives a feature called Noise Filter which reduces electrical noise in connected speakers/headphones. You won't hear any static sound when you are not playing anything.
There is enough space in this motherboard around CPU socket to fit either a water cooling kit or a 120 MM CPU fan.
It also comes with 4 USB 3.0 ports. 2 are at the rear of the motherboard which I believe people will hardly go for. 2 are given onboard so you can connect a front panel USB 3.0 port usually given in new CPU cabinets. This motherboard supports USB attached SCSI protocol for USB 3.0 ports which boosts the read and write speed of connected USB 3.0 storage devices by 50% for real. However, this is only applicable to storage devices and other devices like mouse controller etc don't benefit. Well, they don't even need to.
It also supports AMD Crossfire X so you can install two GPUs easily. There is a lot of space between the two PCIe X16 slots so GPUs with dual slot cooling system will also fit easily.
Overall, this is a very balanced motherboard and deserve the price tag. You won't miss anything with this for next 2 3 years.
first i read the customers reviews of this board.
This board is meant to run dual AMD RADEON graphic cards in crossfire X.
If u r having only a single HD 7770 or 7850 with a dual phenom X2 550 3.4GHz dual core.
what's the point of buying this above 5000 bucks board if u r running a dual core with a mid range gpu.
it's recommended to use phenom 2 X4 quadcore with 3.2Ghz with crossfire enabled cards like dual 7770's or 6850's for media and content creation,professional gaming.
if u got only a single mid range gpu with 4 to 8Gb of ram n dual core phenom 2 processor it is better to stay with current AMD 780G chipset based mobo which supports up to 16GB no one really uses more than 8Gb unless if it is a workstation pc
Because even after buying the board it takes 1 to 1.5 year of time to turn in to a crossfire build by buying the same gpu n a good psu n the problem really starts when it is finaaly time to update the current thing crossfire enabled rig with more ram the mobo fails n some of the ram slots wont work giving frustration n big irritation
i faced this problem a had M2N-SLI mobo paired with X2 6000+3.1Ghz dual core i has a good 8800GT n i wanted to buy another 8800GT for a solid gaming rig.the mobo started to freeze n hanged a lot n finally it resulted to southbridge n northbridge failed making the mobo uselss.
now i m stuck with the same cpu n gpu n a AMD 680G based mobo which i bought in 2010.
Better buy everything at the start not to wait until the running hardaware get failed or simply buy a fast cpu with more ram n single gpu mobo with good midrange gpu.
AMD FX 6300 with gigabyte GA760G mobo with 8 gb of ram n a good HD7770

The NFL Fantasy season is upon us. And people are making leagues left and right.
But not like this one.
Difference this time?
We draft a TEAM such as this time
If I have first pick, and I go with the Panthers I get all the players from the panthers.
When we complete- I will send out the League ID and password and make your team name your 3 teams- IE
Might be my team. and I can use any players from those three teams- and those three ONLY no one else can use those and i can use anyone else's
So I might have
QB- Jake
RB- Foster
RB Gore
WR Smith
WR Evans
RB/WR - Colbert
TE Davis
K- Kasey
DEF Car
And 6 bench spots- all from those same teams.
Let me know FIRST 10 PLAYERS ONLY! This gives us 30 teams and 2 teams will not be used at all.
What I am going to do is randomly generate a Draft Roster and then we will pick teams one night on the group page.
Then I will set up a league at NFL.com and send out the info needed.
For those of you that DO want to try this, and UNDERSTAND that the NFL season is not 3 weeks long. Please be willing and able to make a commitment to this league and this idea.
Fanmail Me.

Comments On Oct 02, 2013:The first upgrade to my bike that has really made my rides much better. I paired these with the Michelin Pilot Power and she easily goes where I point her to. So happy to ditch my OEMs.

Comments On Aug 31, 2012:I ran this tire 180/55-17 on the rear of my '04ST4s Ducati along with a 120/70-17 Pilot Power 2CT on the front. Great grip all throught its life. I have 5100 miles on the tires since new. The front is down to the wear bars 1/2 way between the center and edge, only a few hundred miles left on it. The rear still looks to have 1000 miles or so left. Mostly warn 1/2 way between the center and the edge. My guess is the center and the side will wear out at about the same time. Prolly 3/32 tread left. I only gott about 2600 miles on a Pilot power rear so I was looking for something that would have good grip and last as long as the front. I had Angels on it before the above set because I was looking for something that would last longer than the Pilot powers (rear). The Angels gave good grip and the front lasted great, but the rear only lasted 3800 miles. I thought this review of the tires through their life would be helpful to some. I put 3500 miles on a trip last fall (w/PP front & PR2rear combo) up the coast of Northern CA, OR and WA then back down the middle of the states in 7 days. Didn't hit much rain so I can't say much about that, but they seemed fine for the small amount of time I was in. I just ordered a new set for this fall's trip. For comparison my bike weighs about 500lbs unloaded and about 120 hp. Loaded for the trips and gased probably about 575lbs. I like to rail the turns. I also did a review on the PP front.

Comments On Jul 13, 2012:2007 FZ1 w slipon, PC3, air box mod & BMC filter.
In the last yr, I have had alot of commuting for work. I put these on in the fall, and rode all winter. I now have over 16K on the rear, with a bit to go.
My commute had me doing 80-90 MPH, lane splitting, and city traffic. Not one time did they let me down. Always stable,predictable, surefooted. When Id hit the twisties, they did thier job. Even now, with them wore out and squared, they still handle the twisties well.
I highly recommend them!

Comments On Dec 24, 2011:This is my second set of these tires on my FZ6. I've run many different tires, and these are the most mileage (9k+) for the money while still being very sticky. I've never lost grip with them, wet or dry, and have worn off the Michelin man from the rears, so it isn't like I don't ride hard. You can drag a knee with these, and still run down the highway and through town without wearing them down in no time. The ride is SUPER smooth. The are stable and planted in turns and over bumps.
My only complaint, and I seem to be alone on this, is that the turn-in is slower than others out there. Mild complaint for sure.
I'd recommend these to anyone, and buy them again in a heartbeat. I've never heard a complaint on them, other than price, which isn't too bad here at Jake Wilson.

Comments On Nov 22, 2011:Installed on a 1992 ZX-11, broken in on shorter rides, and then ridden on a 10,000km plus cross-Canada trip in the Summer. Provided great traction in wet weather and high cross wind combinations, not to mention torential rain storms. The Michelin Pilot Road 2 CT's still have 1000's of kilometers of life left. Perform well at faster speeds and more aggressive lean angles, even in cooler temperatures (8 degrees celcius). I filled with nitrogen and they lost about 2psi in 10,000km. These are my street tires from now on!

Comments On Nov 08, 2011:This is the third set of PR2's that I got over 10,000 sport touring miles out of them. Great tire

Comments On Aug 10, 2011:I ordered this tire for my Harley XR1200 because it is supposed to get better mileage than the OE Dunlop Qualifier. I have about 200 miles on the tire now and it seems to be great, the only thing i need to get used to is the back tire slips a bit easier under heavy braking than the Qualifier, which can be expected with a harder center tread, but other than that it is great in corners and straight line. I hope I can get 6-8K out of it since I only got 3k out of the Qualifier.

Comments On Aug 06, 2011:These are a good tire, long lasting and grip well in the wet. It did like to step out just a little when others in the same class would not.

Comments On Jul 04, 2011:I wanted to wait for a while before reviewing this tire and get some road behind me. So far this has been a GREAT tire. I put on a front and rear set about 1000 miles ago and I am very pleased.
I commute daily and do some 1 day sport/touring on a Yamaha FZ6. I recommend!

Lean, Mean and Green Spring Cleaning
Everyone knows how dangerous chemical cleaning solutions are, but avoiding them is easier said than done. After all, they're what we have always used, and you can't deny their effectiveness. The world is changing though, and everything is becoming more eco-friendly, from toilet bowl cleaners to ways to treat bed bugs in NJ. Make Spring Cleaning 2012 more eco-friendly with these sustainable cleaning choices.
Inexpensive, Green Alternatives
The first thing you need to do is get rid of the bleach and use enzyme and vegetable-based cleaners. Murphy Oil Soap is vegetable-based and works on the most sensitive of materials.
Create your own floor cleaner by adding about a teaspoon of a pure essential oil (sweet orange, lemon, pine, eucalyptus or lavender) with five ounces of liquid soap (veggie-oil based) to two gallons of water.
Disposable is out and reusable is in
A reusable mop may not be as convenient as a single-use variety, but it's much greener and costs less. Many mop heads can be tossed directly into the washing machine.
Enzyme cleaners work great on carpet stains, as they penetrate the stain and break it down without the use of chemicals. They also work great on windows and other glass surfaces. Most importantly, they are more natural than most other cleaning products.
For other surfaces, like a kitchen countertop, a wet sponge and baking soda can do wonders. For set-in stains, make a paste with this mixture and allow it to set for twenty minutes. Need a little abrasion without having to use elbow grease? Just add in a bit of salt (Kosher, of course). This is a great solution for tile and porcelain stains. However, if grease streaks or mildew are present, use a vinegar and lemon juice mixture and scrub it with a brush after a few minutes.
Green Fresheners
How important is freshness? Well, think about it; what impression do you get if you walk into someone's home and you are hit in the face with a foul odor? Let's face it; no matter how tidy you keep your house, if you've got odors running rampant then you won't be getting many visitors. The first steps to a fresh home are changing out wet towels, deodorizing the toilet and changing the bed sheets regularly.
Most people turn to artificial air fresheners to help their home smell better, and it works, but at what cost? Over three-quarters of homes use these, but behind that fresh smell are harmful components that cause respiratory, skin and eye irritation. What's the solution?
For starters, just open the window for five minutes a day and let the fresh air circulate throughout your house. If that isn't an option due to the weather or security concerns, try a natural fresher like mint, lavender or orange peels.
Thinking outside the box and getting creative with Spring cleaning will go a long way towards not just going green but saving green and living healthier.

7 Responses to Lean, Mean and Green Spring Cleaning
When I lived by myself and hence had complete control over what cleaning products were used, I found that baking soda and vinegar covered almost all my cleaning needs–from doing the dishes to mopping the floors to cleaning the bathroom.
I think we can be most green by not jumping too quickly to buy an expensive bottle of cleaner just because it has the terms 'green', 'natural' or 'eco-friendly' printed on them. Other more readily-available cleaners (like the ones I mentioned above) can be spread over longer periods of time, resulting in less waste.
Great tips! I've started avoiding chemical cleaners ever since my niece got born. It's been pretty difficult but once you get started, it's pretty easy. I've been looking for a good tile cleaner and this came just in time. Thanks!
Juan Miguel Ruiz
Many great tips! My motto is a clean house doesn't smell….at all. Although air freshners may have a wonderful scent, you're just spraying toxic chemicals which is one thing I'd rather do without!
Suzanne Holt
Don't forget that hydrogen peroxide is a wonderful disinfectant that can be sprayed directly onto counter tops and cutting boards. It has no smell, and quickly breaks down into plain water. Since it is no longer recommended for wound care, and it is still cheap, we may as well get some use out of it!
You're so right about air fresheners! Absolutely toxic and you can tell it isn't natural at all. I like to use fresh cut flowers and fresh air as an alternative.

Report: Voluntary Corporate Political Spending Disclosure Does Not Work
Washington, D.C.—Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) today released "The Myth of Corporate Disclosure Exposed", a new report exposing the failure of major corporations to keep their promises on political spending disclosure.
CREW compared political spending reports from 60 companies to contributions disclosed on tax forms filed by section 527 political organizations such as the Democratic and Republican governors' associations and found significant discrepancies for more than one-third of the companies.
"CREW's report shows that voluntary corporate political spending disclosure does not work. Even when companies appear to disclose their political spending, the information is often confusing, inaccurate, or misleading. We need clear, mandatory disclosure standards so shareholders and customers can learn exactly which politicians and politically active groups are funded with their money," CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan said.
The findings led CREW to file a rulemaking petition today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), calling for mandatory, standardized corporate political spending disclosure requirements that will be easier for investors to navigate.
Key Findings from the "The Myth of Corporate Disclosure Exposed"
- For 25 of the 60 companies included in the study, CREW found significant discrepancies between companies' reports and the 527 organizations' disclosures;
- 527 organizations reported contributions from 20 companies that had not disclosed those contributions at all;
- The significant discrepancies in political spending for the 25 companies totaled more than $3.1 million between 2011 and 2013.
Among the companies included were:
- Microsoft, whose reports omitted nearly $1 million in political contributions to 527 organizations from 2011–2013;
- Pfizer, whose reports had approximately $395,000 in discrepancies between what the company voluntarily disclosed and what 527 organizations reported in contributions; and
- Prudential, whose reports differed from contributions disclosed by 527 organizations by approximately $211,000.
CREW's work exposing insurance giant Aetna's misreported political spending prompted this latest, wider report. In 2012, CREW discovered Aetna had inadvertently disclosed more than $7 million in contributions to political groups. CREW also found Aetna's contribution reports are riddled with inaccuracies. Acting on behalf of an Aetna shareholder, CREW filed a lawsuit against Aetna in December 2013 for publishing false and misleading proxy statements in 2012 and 2013.
As CREW stated in its petition to the SEC, "The many problems that voluntary disclosure policies have created demonstrate conclusively they are no substitute for regulations that would provide a clearly delineated, unambiguous, and uniform set of disclosure requirements for all public companies."
After releasing the report, CREW was contacted by a representative from Capital One to discuss our findings.
