With several glass and wire shelves and baskets, it accommodates up to 480 pounds, allowing you to shop in bulk or preserve your summer produce with ease.

I like everything about this freezer but the sound of the fan operating. It definitely makes more noise than any refrigerator or freezer that i ever heard.The compressor is quiet, it is the air circulating fan that constantly runs that sounds like a dehumidifier running. Luckily the freezer is in the basement because the sound would drive me crazy in my living area.Just received it today well see how long it lasts.

worked great for 5 years, bought the model with the glass shelves and pull out drawers, digital controller... I would rate 5 stars if it lasted 8-10 years. Sealed system failed, would cost more to repair than to buy a new one. I really expected this to last at least 8-10 years.

We bought this to replace our freezer that quit working and love it. The basket and drawer in it are great for odd shaped things that don't stack very well. This feeezer is also well lite inside. Great product!

It's a perfect size for our growing family. It doesn't take up too much space since our home is small. Yet it give us a reliable place to keep food purchased on sale. We spend less time at the grocery store and more time with the family. Thanks Sears!

This freezer holds a lot of food. It is frost free and very quiet. I would recommend to anyone that's looking for a freezer to buy this model. The freezer is black and does not stand out and look out of place.

After an extensive amount of research, I chose to go with this Kenmore Upright model because of it's good reputation, the great reviews, the key & lock, ample space, the way it seals when the door is closed, the shelves including drawers, several shelves on the inside of the door, temp control/lock key pad on the outside of the door, and it's frost free feature. This unit, located in our car garage, arrived at the desired temperature within 20 minutes. WOW! Some of the reviews I read stated that this unit is loud. The ONLY time it was loud was when it was working overtime to obtain the desired temperature. Otherwise, NOT loud at all.:-) Initially I chose a different Kenmore model but due to the terrible delivery service, my 1st choice being lost, the delivery employees unable to be contacted, and losing a lot of food, I opt for this model and my husband angrily yet eagerly picked up this unit and installed it. We are VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH SEARS' DELIVERY & CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I purchased this freezer because I knew Kenmore was a good brand. This turned out to be a disappointment. I had problems with the freezer not cooling properly. I have only had this product 9 months before I had to get the freezer serviced, After another year and 6 months I had the same issue with the freezer not cooling again. Not a good buy very dissatisfied.

Seems to maintain stable temps. slide out features and solid shelves are a nice feature. But it is noisy when it runs. Good thing it's in a basement away from living area.

Just had our freezer delivered this morning. I don't understand why some of you are complaining about the noise of the motor. You can barely hear it and we have it in our kitchen. Great investment. We love it. Now we can stock up on sale items and stop having to go shopping so much. Great Value and Price!!!! Totally would recommend this product. Perfect size too!!!

This thing sounds like a freight train in my kitchen. I actually thought someone had left the door open and a big truck was in front of the house?no that would have been quieter. Since we have a kitchen dining area are in the same area, we have to yell over the compressor noise when eating at the table. When in the other room, we have to turn up the TV. I have been buying the Kenmore brand for over 40 years and have never been so disappointed. If their QC allows a product this noise to go out to homes, it just might be my last Kenmore/Sears product. Another reliable brand, bites the dust.

I didn't think I would like this "dome" look on my hand. I love big rings and this one surprised me. I bought it in turquoise. Love it. I only gave it 4 stars because I couldn't get it in a size 5. Please, please, please start bringing these wonderful rings in with a size 5!!! This was my 2nd KJL purchase.

very elegant

I ordered this ring in black because I wanted something elegant and simple to wear with a white blouse and black pants. It's a comfortable ring and very stylish. It looks a lot more expensive than it is.

Seafood lovers will enjoy this romantic Italian restaurant. The grilled sardines and squid ink risotto are wonderful options.
The food here is so creative and fresh... – Pesce is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. They have a great selection of fresh oysters (try a vodka shooter here!) and a decent wine list. You can't go wrong with any of their seafood dishes. I love the seafood soup (not the cioppino). The orzo/crab salad is delicious as well. Their menu changes all the time, so try something different. Service is usually good also. Great food, great wine, great service, great ambiance!
Good Tapa's great Value – my boyfriend and I had reservations at Pacific Catch, and arrived there via cab only to decide that it looks like Taco Hell, so we decided to make a back up plan. We caught another cab and went to Pesca, we walked in and was seated imedaitely. The decor was clean and kinda hip, the bartender was full of personality, and they bought our first drink on the house!
We were seated promptly, and ordered a multiple tapas, the Crab pasta dish was great, big portions. The veggies were the best the green beans with lemon zest. The grilled asparagus and sole with capers in a garlic lemon butter was the best.
Only draw back was a homeless man stuck his head into the door and scared me to death by sneaking up on me and asking for money. He was quickly asked to leave by the bannister. Easy to catch a cab going back to the hotel in the finance district. Good meal total tab was $115.00 for 2 people and we had 8 cockatils / glasses of wine.
Think Venice without the pigeons – This place is so authentic you will be looking over your shoulder for the pigeons...the dishes here remind us of Venice, and the fact that they offer the small dishes (cicchetti) encourages you to try everything....best dishes are (remember the menu changes frequently) halibut fixed in a variety of ways....octopus both in cold salad and warm with potatoes, grilled sardines...truely amazing...and the best selection of Italian wines a small restaurant could have
Excellent seafood, great service! – I am new to the area and thought I'd try a hand at seafood small plates. All of their seafood is the freshest. Highlights were scallops with chanterelle mushrooms and truffle oil and fresh clams and oysters. The bellini cocktail was also delightful. Was very pleased and all of the positive reviews below are all right on!
One of my favorite "small plate" places in the city – This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I love the small plates. It lets you try different things without overstuffing yourself on one dish. One of my favorites is this fresh crab tower. It's is very refreshing. It has lemon and avacado mixed into chilled fresh crab shaped into this little tower. Unfortunately it's seasonal. They also make very nice cocktails and use fresh ingridients. They use fresh fruits rather than mixers for many of their drinks. I guess raw oysters is pretty much the same wherever you go, but they always have a nice selection and I always order 6-12 on each visit. The service is always good.
Great place. I wish there were more restaurants like this in the area (maybe there are).
Great Local Hub for Two or Stag! – This is a great restaurant that is medium priced considering its neighbors. Can get a little crazy on Fri & Sat with the noise level too high and the fallout of drunken Russian Hill personas after a sporting event. Most often than not, you can get a seat immediately at the bar. Don't expect great service from Reza, unless you're a pretty girl. The other female bartendar is very cool and has great suggestions. Favorite Dish: Drunken Tuna (which is off the menu right now)
Small plates - big plate it's all good – Had dinner on a Thursday night. We were able to sit quickly and enjoyed the evening. The server made a great wine recommendation that went great with our food. You have to try the swordfish rolls. They were out of this world! The oysters and crab linguine were great too.
Very good seafood small plates for lite dinner or larger plates for full meal – I have gone to Pesce a few times and have not been disappointed. If you just want a light dinner they have reasonably priced small plates or full size dinner plates. Loved the sardines, if you don't mind the bones and the fish stew was very good too. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, very unpretentious, great neighborhood place.
Excellent all around – Finally a mid-range restaurant in SF that delivers. My friend and I ordered the smoked fish sampler plate (particulary fond of the sturgeon!) and the crab rissotto tortino, which I have since attempted to recreate chez moi (close, but not as good as at the restaurant!). Both were fresh, tasty, well-prepared and serve by a nice but non-intrusive. Very satisfied.
User review by lotsofmoney – The raw oyster was fresh, the crab was really good, and you have to try the sidecar. It is the best drink I ever had at a restaurant.

Get caught up with the food scene in Montgomery County and Washington, DC, neighborhoods with "1 Meat, 3 Sides." This week, DC gets a pat on the head from NYC, a Bethesda Hooters-style restaurant gets a strange makeover and locals say goodbye to a decades-old local grocery chain.
Washington, DC, finally may have the cultural acknowledgments it has so longed for from New York City.
The New York Times recently released its list of the top 46 places to visit in 2013 worldwide, and sitting among tropical getaways and exotic locales is Washington, DC—but the reason DC makes the list might surprise you.
The area's food scene, not its world-class museums, placed DC at No. 44 on The Times' list. "A new food scene to welcome a renewed administration," reads the title on DC's listing. After years of snarky restaurant competition between the cultural capital of the United States and the country's actual capital city, has an olive branch been extended?
Times writer Ann Mah points out several DC establishments, including Northeast's new Union Market, Mike Isabella's Italian restaurant Graffito, H Street's Toki Underground and Dupont Circle's Little Serow.
Read more on Potomac Patch.
A strange change to the Bethesda restaurant scene has come along with the New Year and the sort-of-new administration:
A restaurant re-launch has turned the former Hooters-style home of "The Sexiest Wings in Bethesda" into what is apparently a choice venue for state officials and civil rights leaders to host a Civil Rights event.
Bethesda Patch has the story.
Bethesda-Chevy Chase Restaurant Week starts Thursday, and diners will notice a few changes to the semi-annual event this year: more varied price points and a new sponsor. Meals begin at $12 or $16 for two courses at lunch. For dinner, customers may spend $22 for two courses or $33 for three courses.
Check out a list of participating restaurants here.
Sad news for home cooks: A local 138-year-old grocery chain is closing all of its locations throughout the Washington area.
Large signs promoting a 50-percent-off sale lined the windows of the Gaithersburg Magruder's after the supermarket announced the closure of all of its store locations.
A letter available at the customer service desks of Magruder's locations said the Connecticut Avenue Magruder's liquor store in DC has been sold and will continue to operate under the Magruder's name.
"We are currently in negotiations to sell the remaining four locations to a group who wishes to purchase the individual stores and reopen them as quickly as possible and we are working diligently with all parties involved," Magruder's Vice President Gary Bortnick wrote in the letter, according to the Gaithersburg Patch report.
For more about the closure and how individual locations are affected, check out the Patch story here.

This brief, easy-to-watch video explains in simple terms why the software you use on the web never seems to meet all your needs. Find out the problems with "defining" software, why most standard business application definitions are not up to par, and a suggestion for meeting the needs of both enterprises and end-users, while saving time and money.
One way to satisfy all parties is for end-users to be able to interact with the application before time and money are spent to build the actual app. This video offers an idea to create a mirror of a final application, in which users can make suggestions, provide feedback, and have a "test drive" all before the end product is complete.

Saw Wreck-It Ralph tonight. The short might be my new favourite Pixar short solely because of the style. It had really smooth animation but maintained this beautiful subtle pencil/charcoal-ish look.
Never saw the short, but the tech Disney/Pixar developed to pull it off is very impressive. I remember hearing that Tangled was intended to use this tech, but it hadn't been perfected at the time.
Wow, that is really neat. I can't believe there's still people out there who will look at that and say "Yeah but the computer did it all so it sucks. We need to bring back hand-drawn animation!"
now after i stared at these drawings for more than half an hour or maybe even an hour....i just have to put it somewhere. sofar i did know petar meseldzija for his illustration and paintings and i have to admit didn't even knew that he was doing inks and/or comic stuff. but now that i saw these i have to get some of his work.
...these just blew my mind. soo soo good. now i go and grab my anatomy book and do some studies in the middle of the night. really if i somehow manage to do one drawing/ink like this in my entire life, my life is going to be complete.
he did upload more on muddy colors. go check it out. really worth it
I walked round and round and round and round to find a decent subject for plein air watercolor. Then I settled on some window facade with neoclassical architecture. I took out my materials and started drawing slowly, trying to get down the architectural accuracy. Then a police car pulled up beside me.
A police car? Am I doing something wrong? Am I loitering around a no loitering sign? I looked up and there was a sign that said "NO STANDING ANYTIME", but as luck would have it, I was sitting. Did someone not like me loitering around their front steps and called the police? I glanced into the car window to see the female officer talking on the phone. Why is she talking on the phone, is she asking for advice if it is legal to arrest me? Quite frankly I felt a tad bit nervous.
Then the police car drove away. I was relieved. But then few minutes later, "EEEEEYOOOOOOEEEYOOOOOEEEEEYOOOOOOEEEEYOOOO!". "Holy shit!" I thought(well, maybe not, but close enough). Two fire engines came roaring down the street in front of me and blocked my subject completely. "Ain't that a bitch", I thought(well maybe not, again, but close enough). I finished and packed up. There was a fire in the building behind me. I could smell the smoke when the firemen opened the door, even though the fire was on top most floor.
Plein air gets pretty hardcore in New York City.

I used to like Daylights Savings time, back when it used to coincide with the week of my birthday. All right! An extra hour of sleep!
But now they changed it to the following week, I've finally noticed that it's a real nuisance.
We really should get rid of it.
I work at an art gallery on weekends with only one other coworker in the entire building. One of the girls who usually works weekdays took an extra shift with me for the abnormally slow Sunday. After complaining all day about being bored and wanting to leave, at four o'clock she comes up to me and says "You know what? We can actually close an hour early!"
"Uh, no. Why?"
"Because the computers haven't been changed for Daylights Savings, so the bosses won't know we put the alarm in early!"
"All computers change automatically for Daylights Savings, and also everyone who comes to the gallery an hour before we close will complain that it wasn't open."
"Oh, right."
And then I quietly sobbed, wishing for my regular less-idiotic coworker.
It really seems like Day Light Savings Time should be an actual holiday by now:
day off, some sort of special dinner, lots of drinking, and presents--yeah presents!
Perhaps decorations honoring a mythical character, maybe some unique music. . .
The daylight savings time just doesn't make sense anymore. I guess it did back when a lot of the people worked outside, but now it's just ugh. You wake up in darkness, go spend your day indoors working and when you get off it's dark again. It get's dark early enough as it is in the winter and with the different time it gets dark an hour earlier. The only time of the day when I might have time to enjoy the light.

I was drinking my coffee and watching the chickens run around their pen in the allotments outside when a pigeon flew into the show really low and a brown bird slammed into it, exploded it and flew off with it all in the course of about 2 seconds. I just sat there not even understanding what happened. The feathers drifting to the floor.
Mofo got peregrined!
That was awesome!

Amusing argument at work today. Told my boss I was wrong and he insisted I was right. I won.
I didn't think it was possible to be called an artist when you have nothing to say. It's like being a writer who publishes individual words as books and expects to be praised for it.
Daylight saving? Not on my watch!
That's why I missed an hour of sleep and got to class an hour early.

Was not too sure where to put this. It just seems too morbid for the Cheer me Up thread.
It makes me literally laugh out loud everytime. Especially the second prototype.
My creativity comes at night it's been conditioned into me. But recently it's just been cold and makes me want to curl up in a blanket rather than draw.
On another note I was looking for something to draw when I was clicking around Tokyo in Google Street View since I was looking for city scenes to doodle. When suddenly it takes me inside a building. I'm sitting there flipping out..... I've said it and I'll say it again. Google Streetviews tech is almost scary. I can't comprehend how it's even possible.

Out of suggestion of my coworker I did cat ears to my earphones and then later added paws and a tail too. My only regret is forgetting the pink insides to the ears.

Ever redrew and shifted something and switched between the two pictures and it actually is almost animated?
Randomly redrew a bit of a picture and realized going back and forth to see the differences that the butt was wagging back and forth to the 80's music.
I installed LeechBlock on Firefox and configured it so I can only spend one cumulative hour per half day on facebook, youtube, conceptart, tvtropes, etc. in the hopes that I'll stop wasting so much time doing absolutely nothing. This is going to result in either more work getting done or more creative ways of doing nothing.

I take it back, Dark Souls is way better a second glance, and its not actually that hard once you get a hold of the control and know where you are supposed to go, but then again i am not that far into the game so i don´t know yet. I like having to be on my toes, because one second you think you have this suckers on the palm of your hand but one dumb move and your going to get creamed in 3 seconds by the same lame enemies you thought could beat with your eyes closed.
Is very rewarding so, the internet was right. The game is worth it.

The first German colonists arrived to this area in 1852, and have remained to the present day, a small but influential percentage of the 130,000 inhabitants. The town spreads along a narrow seaboard and climbs the slopes enclosing it to the north. Since 1985, the city has experienced considerable growth and development, fueled by more than 30 salmon farms, in addition to forestry, fishing industries and service companies. A gateway to Chile's picturesque lakes and spectacular indigo mountains.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
Experience the Osomo Volcano's majestic beauty in an exhilarating new way during this memorable treetop canopy adventure.
Depart the pier for the drive north through Chile's famous Lake District, then on to the majestic Osorno Volcano, which towers more than 1.5 miles above sea level. The first platform of the canopy is located on the slopes of this volcano. The canopy consists of a series of platforms that are firmly built on the area's high treetops, and joined together by steel cables. Upon arrival, you will receive your safety and climbing instructions, then be outfitted with your equipment and harness before commencing your canopy adventure.
As you begin your exhilarating descent, you will feel the sensation of flying through the air. Along the way, you will take in the beauty of the surrounding landscapes, flora and fauna as you travel from tree-to-tree. The highlight of your excursion will be passing through an 820-foot crossing in Chucao Canyon. Here, you will see rocks more than 300 feet high and beautiful cascades. Upon reaching the Gran Coihue platform, you will take in a splendid view overlooking Lake Llanquihue; Chile's largest natural lake, and third-largest lake in South America. After crossing four more platforms, you will finally reach the base. The trees in this area are more than 130 feet high, and the maximum speed during the descent will be 27 miles per hour.
Following this thrilling adventure, you will re-board your coach and drive to Ensenada for a stop for lunch. On the return drive to Puerto Montt, a stop will be made in Puerto Varas to take pictures and purchase some goods at the local handicraft market.

Mail: Next breakthrough man, Hall of Fame talk, Becker comments
Story Highlights
Tomas Berdych is the player best poised to break up the men's Big Four in 2013
Serena Williams and Roger Federer could be eligible for the HOF the same year
Sports leagues should embrace social media with a "don't be stupid" type policy
I noticed that the last nine men's Grand Slam finals (since U.S. Open 2010) and the 2012 Olympic final have been contested between members of the top four. Surely that has to be some kind of record. It's certainly a further testament to the fact that the top four are currently a few notches above the rest of the field.
-- Giri Rao, Allen, Texas
• Over the last eight -- eight -- years, only five men have won majors. This is the very definition of "top heavy." This scenario is the collective equivalent of the "he had no rivals" charge. The less charitable critics note that the rest of the field -- Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Robin Soderling, Tomas Berydch, Andy Roddick -- were not up to snuff. The more charitable will say that when the aforementioned were rendered virtual journeymen by Roger Federer/Rafael Nadal/Novak Djokovic/Andy Murray, it is testament to just how big the Big Four truly were.
What do you think winning the Davis Cup could do to Berdych's career? He is right up there but can't close the deal in Grand Slams. Will winning the Davis Cup give him that extra belief and make him the next major winner?
-- Subhadeep, Cincinnati
• Yes, I positioned these questions tactically. It's not on par with "How's the knee, Rafa?" or "What does Roger have left?" but the state of Berdych's game is definitely a storyline worth following in 2013. When you look at the field after the Big Four, it's scarce. Juan Martin del Potro has won a major, so we don't count him. David Ferrer is worthy of our admiration, but given his age, physique and game, he's not winning majors. Tsonga is great fun to watch, but he reached a Grand Slam final in 2008 and hasn't been back since. Nicolas Almagro is a fine player, but is a Washington General when pitted against the top guns. Janko Tipsarevic, not unlike Ferrer, has found the limits of his talent. Milos Raonic still needs to make a deep Slam run.
It seems to me that Berdych is the player best poised for a breakthrough. He has the big game. He has the serve. He has beaten Federer twice at majors in the past 30 months. Will winning the Davis Cup catalyze him, the way it did Djokovic? That might be a stretch. But Berdych's achievement two weeks ago certainly ought to give him some measure of confidence in big-time matches. Berdych is (gulp) 27 now. We've gushed about his potential for upwards of a decade. Let's see whether he can put it all together in 2013.
In 1995, Chris Evert was the fourth player to be unanimously elected into the International Tennis Hall of Fame following a worldwide ballot of 185 sports journalists. Also, she was inducted solely that year, a kind of tribute that I have not seen since. Do you see Serena Williams getting the same kind of treatment when she is deservedly inducted?
-- Joe Johnson, Easton, Pa.
• Yes and no. Much as we try to respect differences of opinion, anyone who fails to vote for Serena's Hall of Fame candidacy ought to be put under 24-hour surveillance, forced to surrender their boarding pass and then denied the right to vote for anything north of a Pepsi taste test ever again.
Will she be the sole inductee that year? It all depends of which other players are eligible. Here's some snack food for thought. Serena was born Sept. 26, 1981. A fellow from Switzerland was born Aug. 8 that year. Eligibility is based, of course, on year of retirement and not chronological age. But it's far from impossible that both Serena and Federer could be on the same ballot.
What do we make of Boris Becker's comments on Federer and the rest of today's top players? As someone who has been watching tennis on TV and live since the days of Bjorn Borg, I can't help but think he is being a bit of sourpuss. In his day, we did have Ivan Lendl, who won eight Slams, not to mention multiple end-of-year Masters championships, and other big ones and a lengthy stay at No. 1; Mats Wilander who did not come to net, either, and won multiple Slams; not to mention Borg himself. So, suddenly Djokovic, Nadal, Murray and others are floor wipes next to those guys from the 1980s and 1990s? It is sad that Becker has descended to this "my era is better" chest thumping. He was not the best of his era (Pete Sampras, Lendl would get that honor), and he is not the best analyst today.
-- Vasu K., Princeton, N.J.
• I started pondering a long response about the fog of history, the futility of comparing eras and the undefeated opponent that is time. But I kept returning to this, one of my favorite quotes: "The older I get, the faster I was."
What do you think leagues should do in terms of social media policies?
-- Daniel Weiner, Atlanta
• Embrace them. How heavily should leagues monitor and legislate tweets and Facebook posts? Not. Rigid policy is so fraught and filled with loopholes and exceptions, I think you go broad. "Don't be stupid" would be my policy. We're not going to ban social media or tell you what you can and can't say. But there will be consequences for stupidity on a case-by-case basis. Tennis players, we should point out, are independent contractors, not salaried employees. So I'm not even sure any sort of ATP or WTA blanket policy would survive a legal challenge.
As for our discussion of tennis analytics:
• Lanka of Toronto: "Some variables I thought of include age, time on court in previous match, time on court in tournament, weather (temperature), home-court advantage, rest and recovery time (amount of time between matches)."
• Alex Gorbounov of Cary, N.C.: "Number of games played per won match, with the idea that a better player would play fewer, is a no-brainer. I am sure if you look at Federer's lifetime stats it's proportional to his earnings and overall wins. Djokovic is on a similar curve of late. Also, time spent on court or number of games in the last set (or last two) of a won match, especially in Slams, would be a good one. The better player tends to figure out the opponent and make quick work of him in the end. Federer, again, is a fine example."
• Brandon of Chicago: "Out-there variables: What was he or she doing the week before the current tournament? If you are at home comfortable, eating well and practicing, it's a lot different from travel and competition."
• Dale Stafford of Washington, D.C.: "1) Returns in play. Is this data routinely captured today? I think of Federer, Murray and most of all Djokovic on this one). 2) Average second serve speed. 3) I'd love to see analysis on 'average' court positioning, in relation to the baseline, but imagine this data is not captured. 4) How might we measure level of aggression on break points? What would that metric be?"
• Woody of Calgary, Alberta: "For the stats major, I've been researching this very topic myself, and I've come up with a few startling correlations. Factors known to predict tennis success -- on clay: Consistent placement of water bottles, keeping underwear free and loose. For top-10 longevity: Keep shirt fabric loose on shoulders, adjust hat frequently, vigorous ball bouncing pre-serve, sweat profusely. For GOAT-level career: Bounce ball between legs pre-serve, tuck wavy locks into headband frequently. And for success on the WTA, the only factor known to predict success is to avoid stepping on lines at all costs. Either that, or be named Serena."
So, are you saying you don't live in the land of objectivity and reason?
-- Rob, Sydney
• Generally. But I travel abroad now and then ...
• Who is Charles Barkley's Athlete of the Year for 2012?
• Would you rather, the tennis edition.
• Dilbert creator Scott Adams thinks tennis is dirty.
• A few of you suggested that I link this non-tennis story, so here goes.
• Peyton Manning is the most-searched athlete on Bing in 2012; last year's winner, Maria Sharapova, comes in as No. 4, via bingtrends.com.
• Speaking of Sharapova, here's a great anecdote courtesy of John Koblin and Deadspin.
• Here's a great radio piece on the L.A. event heading to Bogota, Colombia.
• Gerry Gollin of Redlands, Calif: "It is sad to see the demise of the ATP event in L.A. I remember going to the Pacific Southwest Tournament in 1970 with my parents when I was 8. It was the second-biggest event in the U.S. at the time and only a notch below the majors. The L.A. Tennis Club was incredibly tiny and intimate by modern tournament standards but had the same lineup of players as the U.S. Open. Fans would literally bump into players in the tight corridors outside the center court. There were no entourages and even guys like Rod Laver would walk next to you carrying a pile of racquets. They were all willing to talk -- at least with a child.
"I vividly recall walking into the cafe/bar at the club and seeing Ilie Nastase in a corner booth with several women. I walked right up to him and got an autograph with no resistance. My parents would point out all of the movie stars, who were impeccably dressed -- even in hot weather. I couldn't have imagined that Wimbledon was any more regal."
• Was sad to get this email:
Dear Loyal Farmers Classic Friend,
Back in 1927, who could have imagined a simple tennis tournament played on the intimate grounds of the Los Angeles Tennis Club would grow into the fantastic ATP professional men's event held at UCLA. Over the years, we have been blessed to have the greatest names in tennis play on our Straus Stadium court: Connors, McEnroe, Borg, Edberg, Krajicek, Becker, Stich, Sampras, Agassi, Chang, Courier, Ivanisevic, Rafter, Kuerten, Hewitt, Safin, Roddick, Bryans, del Potro, Haas, Blake, Querrey, and Murray, just to name a few.
For the past 3-4 years, the Southern California Tennis Association and UCLA have been fighting to keep this historic ATP 250 event alive. The extended US economic slump, combined with the lack of available marquee players, and a scarcity of American tennis stars has now overcome our ability to continue covering the losses generated by the Tournament. The conditions outlined above were also significant factors in the non-renewal of our two principal sponsors, Farmers Insurance and Mercedes-Benz.
We have worked closely with the University, the local tennis community, the tennis industry, the ATP, the USTA, and others to find an acceptable solution. However, we have been unable to produce an acceptable resolution for saving the Tournament. Our search for a suitable investor or strategic partner, which would allow us to keep our event in Los Angeles and on the UCLA campus, has included more than a year of exploration and serious meetings, but has not yielded the results we had hoped for and needed. Regrettably, the only viable option is to discontinue holding the Tournament and sell our sanction to an interested party.
Therefore, and in consultation with UCLA, the SCTA Board of Directors recently voted to approve the sale of our ATP sanction to tennis interests in Bogota, Colombia. If approved by the ATP Board, the pending sale would take effect in 2013. In the meantime, the SCTA will continue to focus on its core mission of promoting and developing the growth of tennis, and will remain headquartered at UCLA for the foreseeable future.
• On a happier note:
The ATP and WTA tournaments in Memphis, formerly known as the Regions Morgan Keegan Championships and Memphis International, respectively, have been rebranded and will now be known as the U.S. National Indoor Tennis Championships. The tournaments will be played Feb. 16-24 at The Racquet Club of Memphis. Players already scheduled to play in 2013 include John Isner, Raonic, Fernando Verdasco, Lleyton Hewitt and Bob and Mike Bryan.
• Props to the College of Charleston women's tennis team.
• Venus Williams has entered the Family Circle Cup in Daniel Island, S.C., from March 30 to April 7. Williams joins Samantha Stosur.
• New Yorkers, note this show on Dec. 5.
• Ben Affleck parallels Andre Agassi.
• Matt U. of Chicago with long-lost siblings: Colin Kaepernick and Nicolas Almagro.

It's not like you can plant some therapists in a gym and suddenly the department is busy. To adequately have a therapy program develop into the future, the way business is conducted today has to change. When looking at more cuts in reimbursements, hiring

Getting Political
Jason Marketti
If multiple Presidential administrations can find money for wars and conflicts to participate in, certainly there should be money available to feed, house, clothe and provide basic medical needs to the poor who live in the United States. When America

To My Dissenters
Jason Marketti
I have been accused of being ageist, burnt out and one anonymous reader said I should work in a fast food restaurant as a favor to the patients I see. A state licensing investigator even contacted me for something I wrote because a reader or two did not

Falls and Staffing Issues
Jason Marketti
Reducing falls in a facility is about quick response times to answer call lights and having adequate staffing ratios to ensure the patients' needs are being met. To save money, some facilities will decrease staff to a minimum level and those who are working

Truth in Treatment
Jason Marketti
Since therapy has been focused on science-based evidence, I thought I would examine two treatments that are embraced by "leaders" in the therapy community. The first is visceral manipulation. The APTA took a hit for including this in the Section on Women's

Is 'ASPT' the Answer?
Jason Marketti
'ASPT' should be the new designation for PTAs who have an associate's degree in physical therapy. The PTAs who have successfully challenged the testing and don't have a degree as a PTA should not be allowed to use this. These new letters will denote we

EMS and Home Assessments

The Kiosk

Imagine getting a sore shoulder from work you had done hanging drywall one weekend. There's a week wait to see the MD and a three-day wait until you can see a PT. The pharmacy down the road has a kiosk you can access and speak with a PT via monitor and

Obedience class for dog teaches some new tricks
My dog has fear aggression. It's a diagnosis, not an oxymoron. "How can the dog be aggressive if he's so fearful?" I ask my friend, the dog trainer.
"The best defense is an offense," says my friend, who is prone to speak in aphorisms.

The mother of accused killer Nikko Jenkins was taken to jail by U.S. marshals Wednesday on a federal gun charge connected to the slayings.
Lori Jenkins, 46, is accused of being a felon in possession of ammunition, punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison.
Jenkins was recorded Aug. 2 on a store camera buying ammunition at Canfield's Sporting Goods, 8457 West Center Road, authorities say.
Omaha police later traced the ammunition — sometimes referred to as deer slugs — and a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun to Nikko Jenkins, 26.
He has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the Aug. 21 death of Andrea Kruger; the Aug. 19 killing of Curtis Bradford; and the Aug. 11 killings of Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz and Juan Uribe-Pena.
Initially, authorities charged another relative, Christine Bordeaux, with buying the ammunition. But that charge was dropped once investigators determined the woman in the video was Lori Jenkins.
At first, police didn't suspect Lori Jenkins as the ammo buyer, partly because she had short hair by the time she had contact with law enforcement.
The video image appears to show a woman with her hair drawn back into a long ponytail.
However, authorities believe that Lori Jenkins got her hair cut after the ammo purchase.
Lori Jenkins could appear in federal court as soon as today.
She previously had been jailed in Douglas County on a charge of witness tampering in connection with a woman who accused Nikko Jenkins of making terroristic threats. She was released after posting bail but was booked back into jail just before 7:45 a.m. Wednesday.
She was convicted in 1997 of felony shoplifting.
Meanwhile, authorities added two new charges to the list of alleged crimes by Erica Jenkins, Nikko Jenkins' sister. The two counts of criminal conspiracy are related to the homicides in which her brother is charged. She also has been charged with robbery and murder.
Bordeaux, 39, has been moved to an undisclosed jail. She is said to have cooperated with investigators. Until this week, Bordeaux was being held at the Douglas County Jail.
She is charged with two counts of criminal conspiracy to commit robbery.

Postcard from New Zealand: Mandy Laddish
Oct 27, 2008
Kia Ora from Hamilton. That's Maori for hello! I'd like to tell you about all of the famous New Zealand sights we've seen so far, but honestly, we've really only seen our hotel and the training field. Sure, we are a bunch of girls who like to have fun, but we know we're here for a reason and after the long road to get ready for the U-17 World Cup, now is the time to focus.
Of course, that doesn't mean we don't have fun at the hotel. If making string bracelets is what you call fun. I do. Especially when we make red, white and blue ones to get us extra motivated to represent our country.
We've been listening to a lot of music and dancing and just bonding as a team, because we know we have a huge challenge ahead of us.
All four teams in our group are staying at our hotel, and we certainly run into them all the time in the hallways, lobbies and elevators. We've been trying to be nice and talk to them, but no one really speaks any Japanese, French or Spanish, so communicating has been tough.
Today, I was in the lounge they have set up for all the teams and I guess I was standing in front of the TV. There was a soccer game on and the French girls were yelling at me, but I had no idea what they were saying so I didn't move. Samantha Mewis, who speaks a little French said, "Hey, they want you to move. You're blocking the TV." So I did. I think we are friends again with the French.
The flight over here was ridiculously long, but pretty smooth. I have to admit when I got off I had some massive "cankles." In case you are not familiar with the condition, that's when your ankles are as fat as your calves due to sitting for so long. Luckily, my calves are pretty skinny so it didn't take long for the swelling to go away.
This is actually my first-ever trip out of the country and I got my first stamp in my passport! The longest I'm used to traveling is from Kansas City to California and this trip was more than twice that long! I have learned that you can try to sleep in 47 different positions on an airplane, but when you've got a middle seat, it's pretty much impossible. So I watched a few movies and played some video games. We got to New Zealand early in the morning, but we were all so excited to finally be here that it wasn't hard to stay up most of the day. I do admit that at 8 p.m., I was out cold. That's 2 a.m. Missouri time.
We've had some good practices so far and everyone is starting to get the bad jet lag out of their legs. And yes mom, I am drinking enough water and doing my homework. I want to give my best to everyone back in LSMO (that's Lee's Summit, Missouri, for those not fortunate enough to be from the great Midwest) and want to thank everyone who has helped me along the way to get to this point where I could play in a World Cup. I know that we are all going to do our best to make everyone at home proud.
Kia Pai Tou Kai,
P.S.: Kia Pai Tou Kai means Enjoy Your Meal in Maori because I couldn't find out how to say goodbye.
