GSA considering ground-floor retail
The U.S. General Services Administration wants to upgrade and expand their current headquarters, on the block between 18th and 19th and E and F Streets, NW.
They are considering two options: one fortress- The project will remove lead paint and asbestos, repair doors and windows, add ADA compliance, and add 120,000 square feet by filling part of the two large wells of the building. But the more interesting issue for everyone who doesn't work at GSA is the way the building will interact with the street.
There are two options under consideration. The first surrounds most of the building with bollards, mainly not blocking the sidewalk except at the three entrances, along E and 18th Streets, where they would partially interfere with pedestrian circulation. The main E Street entrance would be at the top of some grand stairs, and the building's face would be closed off except for the entrances, like most federal buildings in DC. The second, on the other hand, lines the E Street facade with retail bays. The second floor cafeteria could also become accessible to the public through a separate stair and elevator from one of the storefronts. The entrance would be on the ground floor, and the only bollards would block the two driveways into the building.
GSA is proposing both options because they are still deciding whether they will "implement permanent perimeter security" at the building. Hopefully they can decide it's not necessary. The proliferation of bollards in recent years has seriously degraded the walkability of Washington, for uncertain benefit. It's terrific that GSA is open to a less fortress-like plan.
My favorite streets in DC, part 1
Last week, I listed some of my least favorite streets in DC (part 1, part 2). But the District also has many of the finest city streets in the world.
From Georgetown to Anacostia, Waterfront to Brightwood, Chevy Chase to Brookland, The Mall to the Atlas District, Washington, DC has hundreds of fascinating streets that exude the spirit of the nation and the soul of the city's locals. Today let's take a look at some of the best that DC has to offer.
20) M Street NE/NW
19) Minnesota Avenue SE/NE
Anacostia is a neighborhood that has been phenomenally recapturing its historic charm, and that charm is spreading up Minnesota Avenue. From it's beginning at Good Hope Road through quiet Randle Circle, Minnesota Avenue is slowly reaching its potential as one of DC's Great Streets. A master plan for the intersection at Benning Road on up into Deanwood to help further the District's latest success story on recapturing the charm and splendor of its neglected corridors.
18) M Street SW/SE
There is a rather handsome baseball stadium by that old spot, and I have not had to drive to that neck of the woods since the Metro opened there. Waterfront and Navy Yard are still up-and-coming, but what a world of difference the last five years have made for the M Street corridor. Fortunately, its growth it is being well documented.
17) Florida Avenue NW/NE
Excluding a troublesome intersection with New York Avenue and a couple not-so-scenic blocks by U Street, Florida Avenue is a street that exemplifies the beauty and culture of DC. Originally known as Boundary Street, it was the border for the original City of Washington. It hosts many beautiful row houses and charming walk-ups. Gallaudet University faces the homes of Capitol Hill North along the eastern stretch.
But perhaps most notable is the intersection of Florida and T near LeDroit Park, where the Howard Theater sits. Currently languishing in disrepair, a plan is in place to return the historic landmark to its original splendor, putting yet another colorful destination along Florida Avenue.
16) Beach Drive
It passes under regal bridges before ending on the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway in Woodley Park. The best part about Beach Drive is that it is closed to automobiles on weekends so that joggers, walkers, and bikers can enjoy the majesty of this uniquely preserved urban wilderness.
15) Georgia Avenue/7th St NW/SW
Start at Zanzibar on the Southwest Waterfront. Work your way up past the Mall and Gallery Place, beyond the Convention Center. At LeDroit Park, 7th Street is dedicated to Chuck Brown, the father of Go-Go, a uniquely DC brand of music.
North of Florida it becomes Georgia Avenue, the main street for Howard University, Petworth, Vinegar Hill, and Brightwood before crossing Eastern Avenue into Silver Spring. 7th/Georgia is the primary north-south corridor for the city, and truly is one of DC"s most iconic routes.
14) Good Hope Road
13) MacArthur Boulevard NW
This quiet tree-lined boulevard with a grassy median runs from Foxhall past the Georgetown Reservoir and up towards Glen Echo in Maryland. The Palisades neighborhood runs along the southern side of most of the route. Part of me likes passing through a gorgeous neighborhood I know I can never afford. Part of me likes the quiet, lazy pace of this street. Part of me likes the small town feel. Put it all together and you have one of the most pleasant and scenic boulevards in the area.
12) Trinidad Avenue NE
Unfortunately, this negative impression of the Northeast enclave has tarnished the reputation of another up-and-coming neighborhood. Though it may not boast the affluence of other Capitol Hill neighborhoods, but if you're looking for boarded windows and abandoned warehouses, you're not going to find any on Trinidad Avenue. When I take people through Trinidad, they are often quite surprised to see a quiet neighborhood with mature trees and manicured front gardens.
11) Connecticut Avenue NW
Tomorrow: #10 through #1, the champion.
Give input on new railcars, WMATA governance
Tomorrow, the WMATA Riders' Advisory Council is holding a public meeting on the design of the 7000 series railcars, the next generation cars WMATA will be shortly purchasing.
Riders have often asked for more opportunities to talk directly with WMATA staff on important issues. The design of the 7000 series cars is one issue very important to riders.
Last time we discussed them, commenters raised questions and/or comments about the number of doors, transverse vs. longitudinal seating, carpeting, seat fabric and colors, armrests, 6-car train operation, losing the exterior brown stripe, the new digital displays, and more.
Therefore, we've set up this RAC meeting with a WMATA official working on the 7000 series cars. Anyone who attends will be welcome to listen to his presentation, give suggestions, and ask questions. The more participation we get, the more likely the RAC will be to organize similar events open to the public in the future, and the more likely we can get WMATA staff to attend.
The meeting is 6:30-8:30 pm in the committee room at WMATA headquarters, 600 5th Street NW. After going through the metal detectors, head left to the mini-lobby and it's the room on the right.
In addition, the Board of Trade/COG task force on WMATA governance is having a public input session in the morning to hear ideas from the public. I've criticized its composition and Penny was skeptical about its value, but like it or not, the businesspeople and former government officials picked for the panel are going to be formulating a report.
I'll be there to give my constructive suggestions. Hopefully they are open to them and not already set on removing elected officials from the Board. That meeting is 9-11:30 am. Sign up at 202-962-3220 or submit written comments.
Metro FAQ: How will Silver, Orange, Blue fit at Rosslyn?
Rosslyn is a major bottleneck in the Metro system. Because the Orange and Blue Lines intersect at Rosslyn, the station can be a source of backups, especially if there are any problems.
Metro's switches can handle a train every 135 seconds— Currently, the 26 spaces are allotted unevenly. The Blue Line has 10 slots while the busier Orange Line has 16 slots per hour. The Orange Line also has some 8-car trains, which give it a little more capacity. The Blue Line only operates 6-car trains.
Because of ongoing power upgrades and a lack of railcars, it is not currently possible to make all Orange Line trains 8 cars long. It might be possible to slightly increase the current number of 8-car trains, at best.
That means the only viable way to add capacity to the Orange Line is by adding trains at the expense of the Blue Line. And two years ago, Metro started thinking about doing just that.
The "Blue Line Realignment"— This proposal would allow for the addition of 4 more Orange Line trains per hour, which would help to ease overcrowding there. It would also add 4 trains per hour to the 7th Street/Mid-City subway between L'Enfant Plaza and Greenbelt. However, it would reduce the number of Blue Line trains headed for north Arlington and the Farragut Square/Metro Center side of downtown.
The Blue Line's Franconia end would see the same number of trains as it does now, but some of those trains would head for Gallery Place instead of Farragut West. At Largo, existing headways would be maintained by rerouting the "new" Orange Line trains to Largo. The only station which would see reduced service is the little-used station at Arlington Cemetery.
This change will affect riders on the southern end of the Blue Line. The diagram below shows how travel times could be affected. Trips toward the Farragut West area would take no more than 6 minutes longer— Based on an analysis I conducted a few months ago, we can see an estimate of AM Peak volumes on the rail system. A look at those figures gives us an idea about the breakdown of passengers on the inbound Blue and Orange Lines. If we look at the two segments of track approaching Rosslyn on the Blue and Orange Lines, we can see that about 35% of the riders passing through Rosslyn are coming from the Blue Line, while the remaining 65% are on the Orange Line.
Since about 38% of trains (10 out of 26) are on the Blue Line and 62% are on the Orange Line, loads are probably pretty well balanced. The fact that around a quarter of Orange Line rush hour trains are 8-cars long means that the balance is even more appropriate.
This is probably one reason that Metro has not moved forward with its Blue/Yellow reshuffling proposal. However, once the Silver Line opens, Metro will not have much choice in the matter. In order to get enough Silver and Orange trains through Rosslyn, some Blue Line trains will certainly be rerouted via the Yellow Line bridge. A likely scenario for trains per hour at Rosslyn would be 10 Orange, 10 Silver, and 6 Blue.
On the other hand, It will take time for Silver Line ridership to build, so WMATA may delay any major restructuring until new ridership patterns have established themselves.

Washington's unbuilt highways
This is a map of the Washington that almost was.
If mid-century planners, dedicated as they were to driving and the clearance of historic neighborhoods, had their way. It is a map of the highway network proposed for Washington during initial planning of the Eisenhower Interstate System, in 1958.
Each of these canceled highways, shown in red on the map, has its own story. Some were canceled due to civic activism, others because later proposals in the 70s preempted them, and others due to good old fashioned sanity.
Because they were never built, entire neighborhoods that might have been wiped out were saved, downtown was never physically cut off from its surroundings (except to the south), and millions of dollars were reallocated to construction of the Metro. Because these highways were canceled, Washington is the beautiful, walkable, vital city that we know and love today.
Most other American cities weren't so lucky. Their highways were built, their neighborhoods demolished, and their downtowns converted to parking lots.

Breakfast links: Transit power
Metro will look at the "invisible tunnel" "later this year"
The idea of a virtual tunnel between the two Farragut stations on Metrorail was the subject of several posts on CommuterPage and here about two years ago. The idea is to allow passengers to exit one Farragut station and enter the other within a set period of time, counting the whole thing as a single trip rather than two trips.
Given that Metro is currently making significant changes to its fares, I suggested to Interim General Manager Sarles that now would be a good time to also incorporate this long overdue idea for several reasons:
- Metro staff is already working on making many changes, so it would be more efficient to implement now than come back and make more changes later.
- Many customers are understandably unhappy about fare increases. Implementing the invisible tunnel would provide a positive change in operations that would add convenience for some of your riders to help offset some of the negative PR that comes with fare increases.
- It's a no-brainer: It decreases congestion at Metro Center, provides a speedier ride for some customers and has absolutely no downside whatsoever.
Here is the complete text of his letter:
Dear Mr. Offutt:Thank you for your June 20, 2010 email message to Richard Sarles, General Manager of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro), regarding proposals to allow seamless transfers between Farragut North and Farragut West Metrorail stations. I have been asked to reply.
Metro is continuously seeking opportunities to improve the travel experience for customers. The proposal for transfers between the two Farragut Square stations is worthwhile and may well be implemented in the future, with appropriate upgrades to the existing system.
As you may be aware, Metro has hired an outside contractor to implement the fare changes recently approved by the Board of Directors. Part of that contract is a requirement to deliver a fare system that can allow rail-to-rail transfers, a capability that should include the "seamless" transfer you envision between the Farragut Square stations, allowing customers to continue on their journey while being charged as if they never left the Metrorail system.
Unfortunately, we have not had the opportunity to test that specific functionality, and preliminary indications are that it will not be an easy programming effort. Among the many concerns we must address are the memory limitations of the faregates, since the fare tables that go with this transfer structure are quite large.
This is not at all to suggest that the Farragut-to-Farragut transfer cannot be implemented in the future. The inclusion of that requirement in the contract is evidence that Metro intends to make the change because it would benefit both customers and the system. However, at the moment we are focusing all available resources on major, Board-mandated changes to the fare structure: adding "peak-of-the-peak" charges, implementing passes on Smartrip�, and meeting the IRS requirement on SmartBenefits� (separate benefits for parking and transit). Any one of these goals would be challenging, but we must complete all three, plus minor adjustments, before a rapidly approaching deadline.
We look forward to re-examining the Farragut transfer concept later this year, after we have had sufficient time to observe the latest fare changes in full operation and make any needed adjustments.
We appreciate your inquiry and your patience as we work to implement a fare structure that is reliable and applied fairly for all customers.

What's wrong with quoting AAA?
I spent a lot of time thinking about what exactly bothered me so much about Ashley Halsey's Saturday article on New York Avenue speed cameras, AAA's response, and Cornell Professor Isaac Kramnick.
After all, on the merits, I agree with AAA. Speed cameras are an important tool to ensure road safety by making drivers slow down when there are pedestrians and cyclists, or when drivers would injure themselves. When placed in an area that's more a freeway, it seems that revenue has trumped safety. Do that too much, and people start pushing for laws against speed cameras. Then they can't make the roads safer.
So what's so frustrating? In an email, Ashley Hasley sugested I clarify why we object so much to AAA getting quoted in the Post. Aren't they exactly what they seem, a driving advocacy organization? Aren't all their positions totally consistent with that?
AAA isn't quite as honest as all that. Most of their members haven't intentionally joined an organization that advocates against mass transit and bicycle facilities. Instead, they signed up for an emergency towing service. When Cigna started lobbying on health reform, everyone realized that they were a corporation acting in their own interest, maybe but maybe not the interest of their customers. Yet AAA isn't treated the same way.
They also say the most outlandish things, or at least AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson Lon Anderson does, like that "community connectivity and walkability and minimizing ecological harm" are "gibberish" on the Greater Washington 2025 report, or comparing the Inauguration to the Civil War: "The last time the bridges were closed like this, Lincoln was president and was worried about an invasion by General Lee."
Then there's Isaac Kramnick, who distorts political philosophy into a drivers-only credo: "What's happening at this [camera] site is violating the concept of freedom ... The automobile is the symbolic icon of freedom." And "Kramnick points to renowned English philosopher Thomas Hobbes, who said in 1651 that freedom is the absence of hindrance to motion."
But EdTheRed points out that "What Hobbes meant by freedom of movement was that peasants shouldn't be tied to the land, not that some d-bag could drive his automobile as fast as he damn well pleases."
Articles that talk about drivers' pain often include colorful descriptions by the reporters themselves, like Halsey's lede: "Drivers call it the "free at last" traffic light. After doing the stop-and-go head bobble all the way from downtown, when they reach the light at Bladensburg Road they feel they've earned their freedom from the purgatory of New York Avenue."
Meanwhile, look at Bob McCartney's intro to a terrific column about the value of Smart Growth at Tysons and elsewhere: "If you're upset about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and want to do something to fight America's petroleum addiction, support a local cause that would make a difference: transforming Tysons Corner from a snarl of suburban sprawl into a grid of transit-friendly, urban high-rises. If done right— On the one hand, we have stirring words about freedom. On the other, an intellectual argument about the importance of reducing our reliance on oil. Does the urbanist crowd need some really vivid prose to stir the soul instead of making rational arguments about the need for better policy?
There are people who write that kind of stuff, like James Howard Kunstler. I personally find his palpable hatred of suburbs somewhat cloying, and have a hard time reading most of his books. But I also find Anderson's language nauseating as well. Somehow, though, Anderson ends up in every Post article about traffic, and Kunstler doesn't. Kunstler gets labeled as extreme and Anderson doesn't.
My problem isn't with AAA's positions or their fairly effective press operation. My problem is that they get quoted all the time in traffic stories, but no nutjobs on the other side saying something equally insane about how all drivers are evil or something. The only case that comes to mind is Jim Graham calling Maryland drivers the "devil incarnate," but that was reported only because it came from an elected official's mouth, and Graham came under criticism for it.
What do we need? Should we create some crazy alter ego "Ann Londerson" who says all the things about drivers that some people say about cyclists? Who talks about drivers who habitually break some laws the way Glenn Beck talks about undocumented immigrants? Would that get quoted? Would that improve the quality of the discourse? Somehow I doubt it on both counts.
So why can't we just declare Lon Anderson an extremist and start ignoring him? Maybe reporters lack an alternative quote source. Maybe The Hill is Home writer Nichole Remmert, who likes to drive but isn't a complete lunatic, should set up an organization called American Association of Reasonable, Not Hateful, And Generally Lawful Drivers (AARNHGLD) that can get quoted in the press instead, sensibly arguing that this particular speed camera isn't so well placed but not trying to stir up old North-South Civil War tensions because the Secret Service wants people to walk to the Inauguration.
Montgomery planning science hub in White Oak
Tomorrow, Montgomery County planners will hold an open house to discuss the East County Science Center Master Plan. They propose creating a new center for technology and commerce around the FDA's new campus and a relocated Washington Adventist Hospital.
The eastern side of Montgomery County hasn't always enjoyed the fruits of its prosperity. It doesn't have Bethesda's shopping or Rockville's jobs, and it wasn't too long ago that downtown Silver Spring was largely abandoned. Until recently, many of our community leaders actively opposed new development, fearful of traffic, crime or changing demographics.
In concept, it's very similar to the Great Seneca Science Corridor Master Plan, a controversial proposal for dense, mixed-use development west of Gaithersburg that the county passed earlier this year. Though civic activists and smart growth advocates criticized that plan for being too large and too far from transit, they've expressed support for creating a life sciences center here.
Many of the critics of that plan, including Greater Greater Washington, said that White Oak would be a better location for the science planned for Great Seneca. White Oak is simultaneously more accessible to UMD in College Park, Hopkins in Baltimore, and Washington, DC.
But like Great Seneca, the East County Science Center can't just be about doctors and lab coats. It'll hopefully bring more shopping, more housing, and other amenities. If done right, this plan could give East County a town center like people in Germantown or Rockville already enjoy.
Planners won't put markers to trace paper for a while. Right now, they're developing a "scope of work" describing what the plan will include. So far, all we know is that the plan could cover a 1,200-acre area bounded by Route 29, Cherry Hill Road, New Hampshire Avenue, and the Prince George's County line.
Today, that area contains a mash-up of residential, commercial, and light industrial uses. It's divided by the Paint Branch, which feeds into the Anacostia River. More than half of it is taken up by the Federal Research Center, home to the FDA and other government agencies. Though most of the 710-acre campus is undeveloped, local civic associations have opposed adding commercial or residential uses there.
As a result, the plan will focus on re-imagining older commercial and industrial parks in the study area. Local developer Percontee proposes redeveloping its concrete recycling plant on Cherry Hill Road and an adjacent sludge treatment facility called Site 2 into a mixed-use community called LifeSci Village. When completed, the 300-acre development could contain four million square feet of offices and retail, a conference center, and as many as four thousand new homes.
Another candidate for redevelopment is the 1960's-era White Oak Shopping Center, located at New Hampshire Avenue and Route 29 and filled with a mix of chains and mom-and-pop stores. Its proximity to major roads and transit make it a good place for a mixed-use town center, but the mall's suffered from a reputation for crime.
If built out, the plan could revitalize East County, providing the kind of amenities residents have long clamored for. But it could also create new problems, like increased traffic. As a result, there are a few things planners will have to consider as they begin work.
The East County Science Center Master Plan must address transportation improvements. Though the InterCounty Connector will open in 2012, the area will need a network of new, local roads to improve circulation. It'll need to create connections to surrounding neighborhoods, parks, and the Paint Branch Trail, which is inaccessible east of Route 29. And we'll need sidewalks and bike paths to tie all of it together, enabling people to get around without driving.

The plan will have to address the need for rapid transit as well. In its long-term transportation plan (PDF), Montgomery County proposes building a "Purple Line Spur" between Langley Park and White Oak, while Councilmember Marc Elrich's bus rapid transit plan would have multiple lines serving the East County Science Center. Both of these proposals should be vetted as the planning process begins.
The biggest challenge, however, will be reaching out to the area's diverse population. For far too long, the public discourse in East County has been dominated by a small but vocal minority who doesn't represent the whole community. For this plan to truly consider the wants and needs of everyone in East County, we'll have to listen in new ways.
Come out tomorrow for the open house, to be held from 4:30 to 8:30 pm at the Eastern Montgomery Regional Services Center, located at 3300 Briggs Chaney Road.

When Ann Romney haughtily declared this morning that "You People" had better well quit nosing around in her family's affairs already, I was reminded of my mother's perennial and typically generous comment regarding couples who were either startlingly unattractive or otherwise even less appealing together than the sum of their parts: "Well, at least they found each other."
Ann Romney Rejects Her Own Very Sensible Idea |
By: Peterr Thursday July 19, 2012 2:20 pm |
"You know, you should really look at where Mitt has led his life, where he's been financially. He's a very generous person . . ." said Ann Romney, rather sensibly. When pushed, however, she backed off quickly. Why not release more tax returns? ""Because there are so many things that will be open again for more attack. . . . We've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and about how we live our life."
She's wrong about the latter but dead right about the former. If you want to understand someone's moral values, it makes sense to look at how they lead their life by the checks they write. But rather than ask for the whole truckload of check stubs, I'd settle for seeing some more tax returns.

Ann Romney, the wife of the Republican President candidate Mitt Romney, has suffered from multiple sclerosis for years. She claims taking part in dressage, aka horse ballet, has greatly helped relieve the debilitating symptoms of her disease. However, few Americans with MS can afford that option, yet Mitt Romney strong opposes making medical marijuana available, even though studies suggest it helps alleviate the pain from MS.

We now have a wiki! It's not much to look at currently, but it's a start.
My girlfriend has wanted an old typewriter for a while, I know nothing about them - but got this for her. Can anyone give me information about it or tell me if it was a decent purchase? (self.typewriters)

I appreciate it, I hope this doesn't break any rules. I know nothing about these, so if anyone could tell me anything about it I would greatly appreciate it!
The people I bought it from said they have had it professionally lubed, cleaned, and adjusted. New ribbon and is 100% working order.
this is her christmas gift, I'd love to have a bit of history on it.
Thanks everyone!

I believe you've got the Corona Standard from 1935. About a third of the way down this page there is some good information on it along with the models before and after it to show the evolution.
It's a beautiful machine. I'm sure she'll love it!

Yup! That's a Corona Standard. It's a really cool machine (I just recently got a Cyrillic one) and it's fairly easy to clean. The case also seems to be in surprisingly good shape!
Just don't take the platen out, for the love of all things. I almost had an aneurysm trying to get the damn thing back in.
[–]KennethKnot1957 Olympia SG1 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)
A very beautiful machine. Your girlfriend will love it! These are excellent typewriters and the version you have purchased is by far the most attractive as it has the glossy paint.
Is she a writer?
[–][deleted] 2 years ago (1 child)
[–]KennethKnot1957 Olympia SG1 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Well then...now it won't be missing anything! Having a nice typewriter at her desk will really motivate her to get some words onto paper. It sure did for me.
[–]EkriirkE 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Very good condition!
[–]b612markt 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (0 children)
That machine is in great shape, the gloss looks beautiful. I love seeing the worn wrist rest and wondering how many people wrote how many letters over how many years.
[–]owls_ 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (3 children)
I have nothing to say on the subject if it's a good typewriter or not because I don't know anything, but I got a typewriter for Christmas last year and it was one of the best presents I've ever received! Good job!
[–]owls_ 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
Let us know how it goes!
[–]fondofhats 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
The Corona Standard is a beautiful machine! I got one this summer, and as old as it is, it's one of the most reliable machines I own. Make sure to get her a case for it, it'll make it a thousand times easier to transport, and even wrap up for Christmas.
Edit: I got my (ex) girlfriend a typewriter for her birthday and I typed the birthday card on it - just a little suggestion, if you were thinking of getting her a card with it.
[–]fondofhats 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago* (0 children)
It's fairly straightforward - play around with it a little, there's nothing like getting familiar with a typewriter. Take the paper, feed it into the platen (rubber rolly thing), turn the knob and roll the paper through. There should be a small switch on the right side of the platen, switch it down and then pull the paper so it's even, then switch it back. Roll the paper to where you want to start writing, and go crazy. And don't panic if you hit two keys at once and the levers get stuck together, it's normal - just gently separate them from each other and let them fall back and keep going. It's easy and it's fun, I promise.
Edit: OH! And make sure you lift up the metal bar that goes across the platen, and put it on top of the paper once you roll the paper all the way through.
[–]ShakeShacklover1964 Olympia SM9 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Sigh. I'm super jealous. Beautiful, I'm sure she'll adore it!

Wallet TrackR sounds an alert to stop you losing your wallet
By Dave LeClair
November 12, 2012
Anyone who has misplaced their wallet or purse knows it can be a pretty stressful experience. Unless it's found by a good Samaritan, the cash is gone, and you need to cancel all of your credit cards and replace your license. A new product called Wallet TrackR hopes to solve the problem by actually preventing you from losing your wallet in the first place.
By linking to an iPhone via Bluetooth, the Wallet TrackR is able to send an alert to your phone as soon as you start walking away. We've seen similar products like the BiKN and U Grok It that are designed to keep track of objects, but BiKN has bulky tags, while U Grok it requires slotting your phone into a beefy case.
The Wallet TrackR is more wallet-friendly with no iPhone peripheral required and the tag shouldn't bulk up a wallet too much. At 3.8 mm thick, 54 mm wide and 86 mm high, the tag is the same height and width as a credit card to allow it to slot into a wallet's credit card slot.
If you aren't paying attention to your phone when you walk away and you miss the alert, the app will take a GPS snapshot of the last known location of the tracker. This should help you find the wallet as long as it has not been moved – and if it has, at the very least you can revisit it's last known whereabouts and improve your chances of seeing it again.
The Wallet TrackR also has a feature that helps you find your wallet if you've happened to misplace it and are still within earshot. You can push a button in the app to make it emit an audible alarm, which should help you find it hidden in the cushions of the couch or wherever you happened to set it down.
The creators of the Wallet TrackR are currently seeking US$250,000 in funding to turn the working prototype into a mass-produced reality through their own website put together using the selfstarter.us open source crowdfunding platform.
You can grab a Wallet TrackR to use in your own wallet for $19 if you get in early. After that, you can back the project for $29 to get one. There is also a custom designed wallet with a dedicated Wallet TrackR pocket and Wallet TrackR package for a $50 early bird special. After that, the complete set will go for $60.
The free app works with iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, new iPad, iPad mini and the new iPod Touch.
The video below from the creators of the Wallet TrackR demonstrates the benefits of the Wallet TrackR.
Source: Wallet TrackR
Android phones have NFC capability, so you can put the sticker with NFC label or even Subway ticket (in my location) into the wallet.
When the wallet will be stolen, an Android device will sound the alarm for informing the user.

You write the app & you're in business. I won't buy i-junk just to track my wallet
VoxPopulus13th November, 2012 @ 06:37 am PST
Well, I'll put one of those on my wild kid! :-)
SteenMad13th November, 2012 @ 07:50 am PST
Or just go "low tech" and attach a chain or kevlar string between your wallet and belt loop. Honestly, it's amazing how such a simple problem needs to be solved with a high tech solution. How about getting back to basics for a change? Or is this too 'practical' for the high tech age?
Owkaye13th November, 2012 @ 09:34 am PST
Better yet is a wallet which will tell me if I have left my cellphone.
rik.warren13th November, 2012 @ 02:06 pm PST
Put this on the baby, and you'll know if you left it in the hot car... endless possibilities.

Atkinson, Giles, Morse-Jones, Sian, Mourato, Susana and Provins, Allan (2012) 'When to take "no" for an answer'?: using entreaties to reduce protests in contingent valuation studies. Environmental and Resource Economics, 51 (4). pp. 497-523. ISSN 0924-6460
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
We report the results of two field experiments to investigate the usefulness of entreaties in reducing protest zero responses in contingent valuation (CV) studies. These two experiments estimate willingness to pay for tropical biodiversity amongst distant beneficiaries and for reductions in water supply risks, respectively. The entreaties in both contexts, in essence, entailed an additional text to 'talk people out of their protests' using, respectively, a split sample test and a within sample test. Results indicate that, in both cases, these scripts were effective in significantly reducing protest zeros, with one experiment reducing protests at the payment principle stage of the valuation scenario and the other reducing protests at the payment elicitation stage. Using entreaties in this way tentatively may be a useful contribution to the existing CV literature where protests rates are high and, moreover, appear to 'defy' efforts to address the issue through best practice in the design and testing of survey instruments. However, while protests were reduced by about a third in both cases, the entreaties clearly did not eliminate a majority of protest zeros. Moreover, as we discuss, there are good reasons why the responses of 'reclaimed' protestors remain open to scrutiny.

TELL CITY - White-nose syndrome has killed more than a million bats in states from Vermont to West Virginia and has had mortality rates in excess of 90 percent in some of the caves and mines where bats hibernate during the winter. The most obvious symptom of this problem is the presence of a white fungus around the nose of some affected bats.
The fungus can also occur on the wings or tail membranes of bats. This is a concern due to population densities of bat species that are found in southern Indiana, particularly the endangered Indiana bat.
What is WNS?

TELL CITY—Perry Central forced 25 Tell City turnovers to beat the Marksmen 46-32 in girls basketball Monday.
The Marksmen committed 15 turnovers in the first half as they fell behind 21-14.
"They came out aggressive and we came out pretty passive, and they just took the ball away from us," said Tell City Coach John Lyons.
Tell City stayed close early, taking an 11-10 lead on a rebound basket by McKenzie Hayes with seven minutes left in the first half.
TELL CITY—South Spencer more than doubled Tell City's field-goal percentage in beating the Marksmen 58-47 in PAC boys basketball Saturday.
The Rebels hit 58.6 percent from the field while Tell City hit just 26.0 percent, including 1 of 14 from three-point range.
"We didn't defend very well in the first half (when the Rebels hit 11 of 17 from the field to jump to a 29-20 lead) and that's frustrating because we worked two weeks on defense since our last game," said Tell City Coach John Hayes.
CANNELTON—Cannelton could not contain Evansville Day's quickness and lost to the Eagles 80-58 in boys basketball Saturday.
The Eagles used their quickness advantage to create several fast-break and layup opportunities. They hit 31 two-point field goals for the game, 27 of which came from in the lane.
They hit 61.8 percent from the field for the game.
"I would like to get back to our zone defense, but our offense is stagnant when we play a zone," said Cannelton Coach Brian Garrett.
TELL CITY—Matt Coudret's 28 points helped Mater Dei overcome Tell City's hot start and beat the Marksmen 62-53 in boys basketball Tuesday.
The Marksmen, led by Shane Weedman, hit 8 of their first 10 field-goal attempts and built a 22-14 lead with 7 seconds left in the first quarter.
They kept the lead until Coudret made a steal and layup to put the Wildcats ahead 35-34 with 5:44 left in the third quarter.
Coudret scored 16 points in the second half on six field goals--all from within 7 feet of the basket—and 4 of 4 free throws.
CANNELTON—South Central held Cannelton scoreless in the first quarter and beat the Bulldogs 55-42 in girls basketball Saturday.
South Spencer used a full-court man-to-man press in the first quarter "and we couldn't shoot," said Cannelton Coach Mike Garrett. "We were just throwing it (toward the basket). We just got in a big hurry."
After falling behind 13-0 in that period, the Bulldogs played the Rebels evenly the rest of the way.

Dorm life is pretty great! I've lived on campus all four years, the first three in Freeman Hall and the last year in the Upper Heights. Being on campus all…
Although students do dorm at MSU, it is mostly a commuter school. There are not too many activities on the weekends, although if you make an effort to have fun…
the dorms are brand new besides bohn hall which is the freshman dorm. it still isn't a bad dorm, each room comes with a sink so you don't have…
The brand new Machuga Heights and Dinallo Heights were completed in September of 2011, and they are as beautiful as a 5 star hotel! …
The dorms are nice. Some areas are nicer than other, so it depends on what you get wen you start. I have no experience living with any one on campus…
The food is college food. You will get the same kind of food from any other college.
Read MoreThe food is delicious but a bit pricy in some cafeteria spots on campus. Popular places like Sam's Place, the Food Truck and Freeman Café gives you your money's worth. The campus also has a Chili's, a Dunkin Donuts, and many more restaurants including a diner.
Read MoreSometimes the food is excellent and sometimes it leaves a little bit to be desired.
Read MoreFood here is awful and the staff appears to have had criminal records of some sort by the way they all are very sketchy. Also, they are very rude and not helpful by any means.
Read MoreMontclair State's food and dining is varied and economically accessible to all students. From the Universities's Rathskeller (main dining facility), to the Red Hawk Diner , Sam's Place (buffet style dining facility), to the Einstein Brothers and Dunkin Doughnuts. The food is delicious and varied to satisfy almost any diet.
Read MoreThe food on Montclair's campus gets to be extremely boring and unsatisfying. I recommend having a fridge and a microwave in one's dorm just so that you can change it up a bit. The food can be very repetitive and leave you hungry early in the night, considering all of the dinning halls close at 9 p.m., and in the college life, that's early!
Read MoreSome of the food is great. The Red Hawk Dinner has great food and is always open.
Read MoreFood is one of my favorite things in life, and there are some decent options on campus. I myself have grown tired of Sam's Place, but I do like the other dining establishments. The diner is pretty good; service is usually slow, but the food is good. There's also an Einstein's Bagel shop and a Starbucks on campus. The Student Center offers a lot of options from Tex-Mex to sandwiches and wraps. We also have a pizzeria on campus. If you don't mind driving, there are plenty of places to eat along Rts. 3 & 46 and Valley Road.
Read MoreIt is college food, so one cannot expect much.
Read MoreWe have over 15 Frats and sororities on campus. We hold alot of Greek Life events and is a great way to make friends.
Read MoreA lot of frats and sororities, but only way to really go to parties unless you have friends who can get you in.
Read MoreThere is not a big Greek Life selection here at the University.
Read MoreI myself am not a part of Greek life; I have considered it, possibly Pike. Pike is actually the fraternity late night host Jay Leno is a member of. There are roughly 30 fraternities and sororities, and many of them are highly active in the surrounding communities and can increase you span of connections. It does cost members some money to fund his or her organization to ensure there is money for activities and hosting events. A lot of the frats and sororities work together with other Greek life groups and some even branch out to work with non-Greek clubs and organizations.
Read MoreI don't find the greek life that interesting at Montclair, because none of the frat houses are on campus.
Read MoreGreek life is only about 4% of our population. We are NOT a Go Greek or Go Home type of school, but there are tons of Fraternities and Sororities to join if you choose to do so. They're always holding awesome events and their presence is noticeable, but not in a negative way.
Read MoreWe have multiple fraternities and sororities that are constantly organizing events and aiming to keep the campus energized. However, I am not a part of an organization so I can't shed more light on the matter.
Read MoreMontclair is an open campus for greek life. It has different sororities and fraternities and they are among the most important and largest organizations on campus. They make different events that are open for the whole student community. Don't be afraid to ask around if you are interested on joining a greek org, it is a life changing experience.
Read MoreI heard this was great
Read MoreThe Greek life is vibrant and very much alive. Greeks can be seen all over campus with their letters, apparel, and insignia. Definitely a good way to make friends and excellent for networking. Hazing is strictly prohibited!

Wierd Noise, Where From?
08 August 2010 - 07:05 PM
Hi guys, my dads 1.4 02 focus lx has aquired a wierd noise. Whilst driving, when you get to 4k revs in all gears you hear a high whine/rumble which sounds like a rev limiter, you can also feel a slight vibration. Up til 4k its fine, nice and smooth. With the car standing still, take the revs upto 4k and over, and theres no whine/rumble at all....any ideas as to what it could be? My guess is a bearing, but which bearing, wheel, gearbox etc....?

Body work is mint, totally standard everything, 2 owners from new. I can see welding been done on underneath sill area, engine no signs of leaks. When i rev it the revs drop down low then come back up to idle, is that idle control valve needs cleaning? Theres a little ticking/ratteling noise now and again which he said is the cat, does that sound common? He said because its a R reg they aint needed for mot's, is that correct? Its local so no traveling needed to buy one now, which i was going to have to do to get one. What you guys think?

"Not much character development"
This is my first exposure to the Maggody series. I knew it would be a light and humorous read, but the character development was full of negative stereotypes like the southern fundamentalist preacher and the collector of velvet Elvis portraits. The narrator seems to use a Wisconsin accent for some characters although I think the women are all from the south. It really hasn't held my attention either as a mystery or as humor.
"Lynn Sherr was the Perfect Biographer"
With her background as a "space" correspondent, Ms Sherr was in the right place at the right time to make an acquaintance with Sally Ride. Although the astronaut was a very private person, she did share some of her thoughts with the reporter through their years of friendship. The special relationship probably helped the author gain access to other friends who could add their recollections of Sally to make a well researched biography.
The book also illuminates that era of NASA history involving picking a group of astronauts of varying demographics to fly on the space shuttle. It was interesting to see the extent of training these non-pilot scientists were given. Sally was a member of both Columbia and Challenger crash panels and those experiences were handled well by Ms Sherr.
The second half of the book details a more general indictment of how our society has discouraged girls from pursuing science careers and the role Sally played in encouraging both teachers and kids in how to make teaching science interesting.
"Plot and Protagonist - Just Not a Good Fit"
As the story unfolds it becomes less believable. We have an agent of the US government who appears to be marooned in a small town, and he seems to remain clueless and helpless through much of the story. It does remind me of the kind of artificial plot lines that showed up in some of the mediocre episodes of the Twilight Zone TV series
The "reveal" at the end of the novel is even less believable. I can not see me ever buying any further installments to this series.
"Ayn Rand Lite"
The book is too long and ponderous. There is a little bit of science fiction and a lot of other stuff. I am 3/4 of the way through this book and it feels like it will never end. From my viewpoint because it's not set very far into the future the author gets bogged down into a lot of today's geopolitics and socioeconomic woes that really isn't all that interesting to me.
Mr. Flynn did a much better job with Eifelheim, which is another Audible selection, and a standalone SF novel set in the present.
"More than Just the Girls"
I left this book in my wish list for a long time. The reviews are somewhat mixed, so I'm glad I took a chance on it. In order to set the stage for the story Ms Kiernan wants to tell there is some background information about scientific discoveries and events leading up to the need to build a facility to separate and purify uranium isotopes.
As a baby boomer I felt like I had some historical context for the events that lead up to the building of the Bomb. I had heard about some of the day to day hardships experienced by people on the "home front" with rationing and scarcity for all the people, and employing women in "Rosie the Riveter" jobs for the first time.
The vast majority of the book is based on interviews with women and men who were recruited to work at the "Clinton Engineering Works". It is told from their point of view. These individuals ranged from women college graduates with science backgrounds to recent high school graduates from nearby appalachian towns to army recruits literally pulled off troop trains bound for battlefield deployments. Many were recruited without knowing the location of the facility. Instead of a modern, clean facility, think mud with wood plank sidewalks.
Oak Ridge was literally built up around these recruits and shrouded in an unimaginable cloak of secrecy. All information about the jobs these people were hired to do was doled out on a need to know basis, so the vast majority had no idea that they were working on the bomb, even the girls who ran the uranium collectors and the chemists who assayed the product for purity.
I did appreciate the stories Ms Kiernan collected from the recollections of the day to day activities of these folks, many of whom had brothers in combat. She was able to record many of their reflections after learning that their efforts resulted in unleashing the destructive forces of the bomb. Just like others of their generation, these women and men are dying off. It's hard to believe that the American public will ever again mobilize to such an extent for any cause, so that makes these stories even more valuable.
The narration could have been better but did not detract from the audiobook.
"Just too Weird for Me"
Although The 13th Tale has nothing to do with Emily Bronte, there was sort of a feeling of being out on the moors in a Bronte-esque style of writing. The plot is well-developed and at the end many disparate elements are pulled together to make an interesting ending.
Two narrators worked very well and added greatly to the performance.
In spite of these strengths, the story requires a significant suspension of belief and none of the characters are particularly likeable.
"Good Potential, Poor Execution"
I realize this book was not meant to be great literature. The premise is unique and has the seed of a good story in it. Most of the main characters have major personality flaws that perfectly fit the plot so that anything that could go wrong does go wrong. Even the physical facility where the story takes place is designed in such a way that the problems are fairly predictable.
It's sad because the story could have been told with characters who were not so mentally ill and would really have strengthened the "technothriller"
Luke Daniels does a very good job of narration. Will definitely look for more of his performances.
"Italian legal system does not a thriller make"
I appreciate the opportunity to try out books when Audible has a sale. I have enjoyed the Scandinavian authors, and have also enjoyed other Italian police procedurals. However, as another reviewer said, if this book portrays a typical Italian defense lawyer, there isn't any work done outside the courtroom.
Much of the book is the introspective musings, fears and disappointments of this attorney, interspersed with courtroom oratory and rhetoric. The premise was worthy of a story, but the story told was not engaging. I have no desire to listen to any additional books in this series.
"Not Bad at all"
Other reviewers have noted that there are parts of the story line that stretch belief. That's true. In essence, there are two stories that intersect with the crash. The story of the crash investigation is superb. I learned quite a bit about the crash scene investigations and there are lots of exciting and believable moments tied up in that part.
The "bad guys"... not so believable.
To me a book is good if I know I'll enjoy listening to it again in the future. Crashers is one of those books.
"Thumbs Down"
People reviewing this book either love it or hate it. Other reviewers have pointed out many of the flaws in this book. It is difficult to add another review without spoilers, but I will try.
Mr. Coben asks his readers to suspend belief time and time again.
We know little of the motivations of Jake's girlfriend as the story develops, as to why she acted the way she did and what she brought to the relationship that was special enough to create his obsession. The fact that they were both in a position to meet each other in the first place was a contrivance. Jake's best friend also mourns the loss of a "significant other" lost to him more or less the same way.
A very diverse cast of characters who have been touched by violence have all intersected with Jake's small liberal arts college. The faculty contains members that too conveniently include a former FBI agent and former diplomat, so that Jake can rapidly get information that most college profs would not have access to.
The story just doesn't hold water for me.
"If you like early Grisham you'll like this one"
Mr. Giminez does a nice job of telling the story of a selfish self-promoting lawyer who sees the light, loses wealth, status and selfish wife by defending a rather remarkable junkie prostitute.
The main characters may be a little stereotypical, the plot resolution may also be a little stereotypical, but the story is worth telling and there are enough supporting characters and subplots to make for a satisfying listen.
Although the setting is Dallas instead of the deep south, this novel does have the feel of a good Grisham book.
