City puts property purchase on hold
Budget woes force move; site seen as key to plans for downtown
Background: The city of Escondido had set aside $4 million to buy the H. Johnson building on South Broadway as part of an ambitious downtown redevelopment project.
What's changing: To save money, the city, which faces a $7.4 million budget deficit, has shelved the idea.
The future: The building's owner plans to lease it to retail stores, a restaurant and a business that will open an office.
ESCONDIDO The city of Escondido has shelved an ambitious plan to buy the H. Johnson building and nearby properties for downtown redevelopment because of its budget crisis.
The $4 million set aside for it will be used to collect interest to help pay the city's bills, Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler said.
She said that although the H. Johnson building occupies a key block in the heart of downtown, the city cannot afford to acquire property now.
"We have said that if anyone begins to show any interest, would they please call us first," she said. "We try to keep the door open without having to put our money on the line when we are not real confident about the future."
The 31,000-square-foot H. Johnson building, at 131 S. Broadway, was built in 1952 and leased to Sears, Roebuck and Co.
When Sears moved to Escondido's regional mall, the owner rented it to H. Johnson Furniture, which occupied the building from 1975 to last year, when the owner didn't renew the lease because it wanted the building sold.
City officials saw the significance of the property, which includes two vacant lots across the street, and planned to buy it.
"We could really shape the development of what we want to see downtown – retail or commercial," Councilman Dick Daniels said. "It's a shame we were not able to do that."
With the city out of the picture for now, property owner Dennis Roach of Los Angeles will lease the building, said Tom Crowley, his Escondido agent.
"We are working with quite a few tenants," Crowley said, declining to elaborate. "The building has its own parking. That's exceptional, critical" for downtown.
But it will be some time before anyone can move in, Crowley said. The building was designed for a department store, not small-business tenants.
"They'd have to do some serious remodeling," he said. "Moving in will be months and months away."
The city's decision to shelve its plans is the latest in a series of disappointments over the past six months about plans for rejuvenating downtown. All are related to the stalling economy.
In June, a developer abandoned a proposal to redevelop the site of the city's police station on West Grand Avenue after a new station opens. Plans had called for a four-story retail-and-office building, which city officials envisioned as a gateway to downtown.
In September, the developer of a proposed $67 million Marriott hotel, planned for the site of a parking lot of the city-owned arts center downtown, missed a deadline for securing financing. The city extended it to Jan. 1, and it remains unclear if it will be met.

If this column sucks,
it's not my fault … I got this job by winning a kicking contest at
halftime of the Texas Tech – UMass game a few weeks ago.
"Some stupid zombies riding piles of Kleenex down the street? Big
deal." … It's no longer 1957 and Mary Sue Sweetiepie isn't going to
be swept off her feet by buying her a large glass of fatty chocolate
liquid. It's time to quit thinking that homecoming means anything to
anyone actually involved in the game itself. The players certainly don't
give a hoot about it, and only the oldest of fans actually attach some
notion of extra pride because of the designation. Yes, there was a time when being someone's
homecoming opponent got a team fired up, but not anymore. There's no
need to play the disrespect card when it comes to this unnecessary and antiquated tradition.
And if you still don't think America knows enough about you, just buy
up a half hour of prime television time ... College coaches need to
take a cue from the political campaigns and make sure they get as much
face time as humanly possible no matter what the situation. What's the
best time for America to get to know a head coach? On the way to the
locker room.
It happens at every halftime. The sideline reporter tries to get a few
comments from a head coach as the teams run off the field, and the coach
gives vapid answers as quickly as humanly possible so he can be off to
adjust and prepare for the second half. Instead, coaches should use this
time to stay on camera as long as
he can. There's nothing the coach can say in the locker room that's more
important than the television time he'll get in every recruit's living
room. When it comes to recruiting and perceptions, nothing is bigger
than being able to show off the personality. I'm convinced this helps
Pete Carroll immeasurably. He's always cool, polite, and confident in
these moments, and he always speaks like he has an answer to fix the
The message to you, Rudy, is to stay away from anything
with gravy … ESPN's Todd Blackledge has to slow down on his Taste of
the Town bit in a big hurry. He needs to lose a little weight before
getting back
to his other gig as the lead singer of The Specials.
"I heard that one myself, Bob. Hell, I even thought I was dead til I
found out I was just in Nebraska." … 1962. That's the last
time Nebraska didn't have a sell-out. The Huskers have gone 295 games in
a row in front of a packed house currently putting 85,104 red butts
in the seats each and every week. Take a look around the college
football landscape and the second anything goes slightly askew with most
power programs, there will be a few tickets to be had here and there and
a few empty patches in the stands.
Not Nebraska. Along with the bar set by Joe Paterno for the most wins by
a D-I head coach at one school, this sellout record is another one that
won't be broken in our lifetime.
"I was ordering some fish for you, Audrey and Mom." … As the
adage goes, it doesn't matter who the hottest woman in the world is,
somewhere there's a guy sick of schtupping her. On the flip side, I'll find
you 10,000 guys ready to step in and fire. It's more than a little odd,
considering her situation, that Christie Brinkley has reprised her tour
de force Vacation performance in the DirecTV ads running every
commercial break. Basically, she wasn't bringing home the groceries, the
husband, being of a high enough caliber to bag a Christie Brinkley in
the first place, allegedly, er, uh, missed being cooked for, and he
sampled some of the take out with the hot nanny. And now there's
Brinkley back in her role trying to seduce a married Clark Griswold. The
white patent leather shoes are on the other foot.
"I'm sorry, but he knew about our getting hit on three big machines
in a row and he did nothing about it. That means, either he was in on it
or he was too dumb to see what was goin' on. Either way, I cannot have a
man like that working here." … Because there are actual real world
issues to deal with, like our country going into the financial tank,
you're not going to see any grandstanding promo hearings on steroids any
time soon like we had last summer when it came to baseball. But trust
me; they'll come soon enough.
Some NFL players are currently getting nailed for using masking agents, and it's
being hailed by some as proving that the drug testing system is working.
When was the last time you heard of a college player getting nailed for
steroid or human growth hormone use? Either no one, no one is
juicing up, or maybe, just maybe, the druggies remain three steps ahead
of the tests with their undetectable use. And to make things even worse,
the NFL, who has to be the standard bearer on this to set the tone for
college and high school football, is getting worse and worse at its
reporting on the topic.
When the biggest voices, like ESPN's Tom Jackson,
who played in the 1970s on the same defense as Lyle Alzado in an era
when shooting up was the norm for many, say things like, "I'm old
school. Just play the game," it shows a glaring head-in-the-sand
ignorance that continues to prevail from the top down. To make matters
worse, there's Mike Ditka, a doorknob who gives doorknobs a bad name.
He was as
iron fisted as they came in demanding his players suck it
up and play through injuries, and then he went on and ran a
foundation for injured former players that was inept at best, borderline
criminal at worst, saying he never really saw steroid abuse as an
overall problem. He was a part of the 1970s Dallas Cowboys as a player
and a coach and he didn't know of anything going on? He
knows who's doing them. You know, deep down, who's doing them. A few
players getting nailed for periphery use should be the fuse that sets
off the bomb, but it won't be.
It's time to start making this a bigger deal, I keep trying, and it's
time the NCAA became even more proactive on the subject. Eventually,
people will care about this problem and all the talking heads are going
to get self-righteous after the fact. Until then, let's hope the college
game can step up teach the pros how to do this right.
"You wanna make it right? Then when you go to nationals, bring it.
Don't slack off because you feel sorry for us. That way, when we beat
you, we'll know it's because we're better." … Do you really think
the Big 12 or SEC champion will be the slightest bit nervous about
playing Penn State? Oh sure, if the Nittany Lions get into the national
championship game the opponent will say all the right things and pay the
proper respect, as it should against a defense this good, but you know the internal memo, after seeing the Ohio
State game and after getting through a real conference war, will be
"bring … it … on."
Oh yeah, and the overtime system is better, too, nyah-nyah ... To
anyone out there, especially the NFL fans, who actually believes the pro
replay system is better than the college version, look at what happened
in the Atlanta – Philadelphia game. Atlanta was down 20-14 and was going to
get the ball back with 2:22 to play. The punt appeared to be muffed,
Philly recovered, and put it away with a Brian Westbrook touchdown run.
Only, the punt wasn't muffed or mishandled. It never touched the
returner and the officials got it wrong. It wasn't under two minutes, so
it wasn't an automatic review, and Atlanta couldn't challenge because it
was out of time-outs. Meanwhile, the college replay system has remained
seamless and relatively painless. Most importantly, it's getting the
calls right. That's the whole point. There's no nobility in a missed
"Nyet! Nyet! He beat me. Straight up. Pay him. Pay that man his
money."… If you're a Republican "investor," here's a small silver
lining for you before the upcoming clean sweep apparently coming next
Tuesday. With an Obama White House and a Democrat controlled congress,
you're going to be able to wager on a sporting event again.
There's word that an Obama government will be trying to find as
many creative ways as possible to raise revenue to not only bring down
the debt, but to pay for social programs. There's a better than 50/50
shot that online gaming will be legalized in the next few years, regulated, and taxed up the
yang, bringing in billions of dollars. If McCain wins, forget about
Internet poker or sportsbooks seeing the light of day ever again. McCain
is from Arizona, along with Senator Jon Kyl, the major force behind
eliminating the legality of on-line gaming.
"The SEC is going to lose at least six regular season non-conference
games against BCS teams." … I got hammered on that statement
in a preseason column with angry SEC fans bombarding me from all sides,
a few radio talk show hosts yelling at me for disrespecting the holiest
of holy leagues, and Mike Mayock ripping on me during one of our early
NFL Network gigs. After the Auburn loss to West Virginia, the SEC has
lost seven non-conference games (UCLA over Tennessee, Louisiana Tech and
Georgia Tech over Mississippi State, Wake Forest over Ole Miss, Texas
over Arkansas, and Vanderbilt over Duke). When all is said and done,
there could be even more.
"'Cause they stand on a wall. And they say "Nothing's gonna hurt you
tonight. Not on my watch." ... It's a simple game. It's all about
the offensive lines. You can put mediocre skill players behind a great
offensive line and the attack should shine, and great quarterbacks and
receivers should go ballistic behind a great front five. With that in
mind, looking back on our Preview, here were our top five offensive
lines going into the preseason. 1. Oklahoma, 2. Oklahoma State, 3. Penn
State, 4. Ohio State, 5. LSU. We had the Texas line 15th,
Texas Tech's 11th, Utah's 20th, and Alabama's line
ranked 25th. Obviously this is hardly the be-all-end-all
judgment on the lines, but there doesn't seem to be a clear
relationship between the front five and a good team.
Rule change of the week … Up 21-14 with 8:49 to play, Colt McCoy
dropped back against Oklahoma State, got rid of the ball, which was
intercepted, and got popped in the face by Andre Sexton to draw a
roughing the passer penalty. It was a personal foul that gave the ball
back to Texas, who ended up getting a McCoy sneak for a touchdown two
plays later. The late hit had nothing to with the pick. The rule needs
to be changed that the penalty is tacked on for the team that just
intercepted the ball, but it shouldn't have to give the ball back unless
the hit actually contributed to the turnover.
Basically, it's a dollar for every turnover … Rich Rodriguez might
not be a beloved man by Michigan fans at the moment, but his contract
appears to be a little light. Yeah, yeah, boo-hoo. We have a nation of
people going under and here's a guy making $2.5 million a year for six
years, but that seems a bit light for an elite of the elite job like
Michigan. Everyone knows Michigan was going to be low, it's a place that
deep down believes coaches should be paying the school for the honor to
be working there. That's part of the reason Les Miles didn't jump ship
The C.O.W. airing of
the grievances followed by the feats of strength
2008 is
so last year. What's the 2009 top ten potentially going to look like?
Remembering that things will change in a big hurry depending on who jets
early to the NFL and who sticks around, here's the first look anywhere
for next year.
10. Boise State
It might be time to finally start giving the program the benefit of the
doubt. The team that's stopping everyone cold on the way to a second BCS
appearance in three years comes back loaded. WR Jeremy Childs is
probably off to the NFL early, but if he's back, he'll be on the
preseason All-America lists. RB Ian Johnson will be done after what seems like 16
years in the program, but QB Kellen Moore is back as a seasoned
sophomore working behind a veteran line. RBs Jeremy Avery and D.J.
Harper are big-time playmakers to revolve the offense around, while
corners Brandyn Thompson and Kyle Wilson will be as good a tandem as any
in America. The defensive front seven loses some key players and some
depth, but there are some great young linemen in Billy Winn and Ryan
Winterswyk to get excited about.
This is a pick on brand name. In a horrible year for senior NFL
quarterback prospects, Sam Bradford will almost certainly be gone along
with four starters on the offensive line. The defensive front should
remain intact, while the defensive back seven should be a killer with
the loss of FS Lendy Holmes and LB/S Nic Harris the two big loses. The
running backs will be the strength early on, led by DeMarco Murray.
8. North Carolina
Next year is when the Butch Davis recruiting classes are going to kick
in big-time. The skill players will be the question mark if WR Hakeem
Nicks leaves early, as he has the talent to do, but there are a slew of
interesting players, like RB Shaun Draughn and WR Greg Little, who
should shine with a bigger role. The quarterback situation will be
fine no matter if it's T.J. Yates, Cam Sexton or Mike Paulus running the
offense. Losing SS Trimaine Goddard will hurt, but the rest of the
ball-hawking secondary returns. The outside linebacking pair of Quan
Sturdivant and Bruce Carter might be the best in America, but the
strength of the team could be Marvin Austin and a loaded defensive
Now we'll see just how good the
recruiting really has been. The offensive line will lose C Bret Helms,
OG Herman Johnson, and junior OT Ciron Black, will all be off to the
NFL, while the defensive line will have to go a wholesale change
assuming Ricky Jean-Francois is gone to the draft, where he should be a
first round draft pick. LB Darry Beckwith will graduate, but the rest of
the back seven should be solid. The real key will be the receiving
corps. Will Brandon LaFell leave early? Even if he's gone, QBs Andrew
Hatch and Jarrett Lee should be strong with Charles Scott, Keiland
Williams and Richard Murphy will be there to hand off to.
All of the injury issues on the offensive line should turn out to be a
good thing going into next year with all five starters returning.
Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno will be top ten draft picks if they
take off early for the NFL, as expected, but the cupboard won't be bare.
Joe Cox isn't Stafford, but he's not bad, and Caleb King will be a
special back. A.J. Green is one of America's best young wide receivers,
and he'll have a little bit of help with TE Bruce Figgins and WR Michael
Moore. The defense will lose its share of players early to the next
level, but the Dawgs should reload. And if CB Asher Allen, FS Reshad
Jones, and if, miracle of miracles, Stafford and/or Moreno return, move
the ranking up higher.
5. Alabama
Remember, 2009 was supposed to be the year when everything was supposed
to come together. Everything started working a year early.
If Greg McElroy going
to be ready to take over for John Parker Wilson, or will Star Jackson
take over the quarterback reigns? Whoever's throwing will get a loaded
receiving corps to throw to, led by Julio Jones, while the running back
trio of Glen Coffee, Mark Ingram, and Terry Grant will be devastating.
The Achilles heel early on should be an offensive line that loses center
Antoine Caldwell and will almost certainly be without Andre Smith, who
should leave early and be the first lineman taken in the 2009 draft.
Star FS Rashad Johnson is gone, but nine starters return.
4. Oklahoma State
This will be the "it" team of 2009. Everyone will jump on the
bandwagon with a loaded offense that'll get all the key parts back
except for TE Brandon Pettigrew, who'll likely be the first tight end
taken in the draft. WR Dez Bryant, QB Zac Robinson, and RBs Kendall
Hunter & Keith Toston will all return, but the key will be the offensive
line where center David Washington is gone. Left tackle Russell Okung
will likely leave early for the NFL, but if he comes back, he'll lead
one of the nation's best lines. The defense will have to replace the
defensive tackles and most of the secondary.
3. Florida
Tim Tebow's dad is checking in to see exactly what the NFL buzz is. The
results are mixed so far, but Tebow should be back if he's assured he'll
be developed as more of a pro passer. Even if he's gone, Cameron Newton
and John Brantley can produce in his place. Certain to be off to the big
leagues will be Percy Harvin, but there are a slew of good receivers
coming back along with most of the top running backs. The O line loses
the tackles, but should be great inside. And then there's the defense.
LB Brandon Spikes will leave early and DE Jermaine Cunningham will be
tempted, but the rest of the D returns intact. The secondary that's
relying so heavily on sophomores will be a killer.
2. Texas
Colt McCoy has already said he's coming back for his senior season, and
he'll have a slew of good young receivers waiting to step up to take
over for Jordan Shipley and Quan Cosby. The big key will be on offensive
line that should welcome back four starters, only losing Cedric Dockery.
Vondrell McGee, Cody Johnson, and Vondrell McGee will handle the running
game. DEs Brian Orakpo and Henry Melton will be gone, but the extremely
young secondary will be a year older and a year wiser. The real key will
be defensive coordinator Will Muschamp. He'll be on everyone's head
coaching short list, but there's a chance he hangs around for another
year and cherry picks from whatever job opening he wants at the end of
This is a team three years in the making. Mark Sanchez is
nuts if he doesn't take off early for the NFL, but USC quarterbacks tend
to stay as long as possible for seasoning. Even if he bolts, Mitch
Mustain is more than just a fill-in, and Aaron Corp will certainly
challenge for the job. Losing guard Jeff Byers will hurt, but everyone
else returns on the offensive line including the backups. Receivers
Damian Williams and Vidal Hazelton will be back along with tight end
Anthony McCoy. The backfield will be devastating with Joe McKnight, C.J.
Cable, Stafon Johnson and fullback Stanley Havili are all back for at
least one more year, possibly two. The offense will have to put up a ton
of points on the board until the defense comes around. Assume S Taylor
Mays is gone early to the NFL, while CB Kevin Thomas could be gone, too.
The linebacking corps is the biggest issue, replacing Rey Maualuga and
Brian Cushing, while the defensive front loses star tackle Fili Moala
and end Kyle Moore. It's USC. There will be more defensive stars waiting
to fill in.
Random Acts of Nutty … Provocative musings and tidbits to
make every woman want you and every man want to be you (or vice versa)
a.k.a. things I didn't feel like writing bigger blurbs for.
- If you're a fan of a mid-level team that'll get to six wins but could
be lost in the bowl shuffle, root for the better teams in the Pac 10 to
and root against Arizona State, UCLA and Stanford. It'll be a mild upset
for any of those three to get to a bowl game, leaving open a few Pac 10
bowl spots.
- No, this year's Kansas team isn't the same as last year's
ultra-efficient juggernaut, but the 2007 team didn't play anyone of note
until the Missouri game. A loss. This year, KU has to play Oklahoma,
Texas, and Texas Tech from the South, and things haven't been quite the
- Was Jeff Bower really that bad for Southern Miss? Larry Fedora has
done a bit more for the offense, but the defense has hit the skids,
along with the Golden Eagles. USM is on a five-game losing streak and
has the nation's 104th ranked defense.
- I don't have records on this, but I have to believe Stanford has ever
been a 30-point favorite against any Pac 10 team. The line is the
Cardinal -30 over Washington State.
- The Big Ten has got to figure out how to get a fairer and more
balanced schedule. Minnesota doesn't play Michigan State or Penn State
this year, and has Northwestern, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa to go.
- There has to be a moratorium on the suggestion that a team has to
"outscore Texas" to beat the Longhorns. Lee Corso has been guilty of
this twice, and I've heard it say two other times. Instead, say a team's
offense will have to outplay the Texas offense in a shootout.

26x9x12 front 26x11x12 rear Great tire in the mud, haven't been stuck yet. Fair on the trails, just watch out for large sticks they like to through them up into the finders. Not that great on dry sugar sand roads, tend to dig in and slow you down.Read All Reviews
Troy in SD
Doesn't hold up around cactus, even with Ride-On or Slime. Good traction in all conditions, but the softness of the tire is the weakness when turning.Read All Reviews
Curtis in Florida
Great for playing in the mud, the pull real hard. I haven't been stuck yet. They ride nice on hard pack sand at higher speeds. Not for soft sugar sand, the just sink in and really slow you down. They like to grab large sticks and fling them up into the finders. So try to avoid large sticks.Read All Reviews

Taking screenshots is part of my regular job here at Softonic, so I can show proper images of the programs being reviewed. Instead of full fledged capture programs I've always prefered widgets, simply because they're easier to access and often do what I need.Capture is a good screenshot capture widget, which can take either full screen, a selection or a window. It also has an option to hide or show the dashboard.
If you open up the options you'll see you can save your capture into 10 different image formats, choose from four quality settings and adjust the size.
I was a little turned off by the slider for this last option though, as it felt a little imprecise.Capture is definitely an excellent widget for taking pictures of your desktop.
However I wished the interface would be a little bigger, as it's a little difficult to make out buttons the first time you launch it.Despite a small interface, Capture is an excellent capture tool loaded with settings.

HOUSTON NASA is on the way to Mars, and pizza could be on the way to your house just by pushing a button. This and more in today s Tech Talk...
== Maven goes to Mars ==
A NASA probe bound for Mars blasted off around 12:30 p.m. Houston time Monday. It ll take 10 months for it to get to the Red Planet. Once there, the robotic explorer Maven will study the planet s atmosphere to try and understand why it went from warm and wet to cold and dry. NASA says it s likely that at one time water flowed on Mars. Maven will also send back important data on the atmosphere for future manned flights to the planet, scheduled for the year 2030.
== PlayStation 4 sales ==
Sony says it sold one million PlayStation 4 units in the first 24 hours of its launch last Friday. The console costs $400. The company says while there were complaints about some units not working properly, the issues affected only about one percent of users. The $500 Xbox One will be released this Friday.
== PiePal pizza button ==
Check out the PiePal. It s a gadget in the works from a company that says while it may sound like a joke, it is indeed real. The PiePal is a knob (a real knob/button -- not an app) that you turn to the number of pizzas you want, and then you just hit the button in the middle. About 30 minutes later, Dominos Pizza will be at your front door with your delivery. The button s DC-based makers say they chose Dominos Pizza because the restaurant had a website that was easy to work with, but Dominos is not at all officially involved in the development of the product.

Adam A700 passes cold tests
Adam Aircraft of Englewood, Colo., successfully completed initial environmental testing of its A700 very light jet at the McKinley Climatic Laboratory at Eglin AFB in Florida. During the five-day exercise, the twinjet was subjected to temperatures as low as -40 degrees F to evaluate the effects of cold on the flight controls, avionics, environmental control system, engine starters and other critical systems. In addition, the A700's Williams FJ33-4 engines were exposed to freezing fog, freezing rain and blowing snow to evaluate the ground performance of the engine inlet anti-ice system. Adam expects to earn FAA certification of the A700 in the fourth quarter of this year.

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, ruled that the National Childhood Vaccine Act of 1986 (NCVIA) preempts state-law design defect claims against vaccine manufacturers. [See Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC, FKA Wyeth, Inc.] The NCVIA, designed to ensure a stable vaccine supply, establishes a special, company-financed, no-fault system that guarantees payments to patients for injuries caused by a vaccine, but, in exchange, provides significant tort liability protection to the vaccine manufacturer. In considering the NCVIA's preemptive effect, Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, found that the NCVIA itself "suggests that the design of the vaccine is a given, not subject to question in [a] tort action" and, therefore, Congress must have intended to bar lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers based on so-called design defects.
Bruesewitz v. Wyeth LLC, FKA Wyeth, Inc.
In Bruesewitz, the plaintiff, Hannah Bruesewitz, alleged that she suffered seizures and developmental delay as a result of the injection of a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DPT) vaccine when she was only 6 months old. After her claim filed under the federal compensation system was rejected, Hannah's parents filed suit against the vaccine manufacturer in state court alleging their daughter's injuries were caused by toxins in the vaccine – and that a safer alternative had been available but was not used.

A Wellington kitchen fire last night has prompted the Fire
Service to prompt another reminder about the importance of
fire alarms and not leaving cooking unattended.
Kilbirnie fire officer Peter Burtonwood said the fire
occurred in the suburb of Maupuia around 11.20pm last night
as a result of unattended cooking.
"It's the cause of about of a third of all fatal fires."
While the fire was confined to the top of the stove and the
rangehood above it, the potential for it to take over the
rest of the house, he said.
Smoke filled the Maupuia home and a mother and daughter
living at the house were taken to hospital suffering minor
smoke inhalation injuries, Mr Burtonwood said.
Three fire engines attended the blaze.
A pan of chips cooking in oil was the culprit.
"There was no working smoke alarms in the house, despite all
our publicity."
The fire was an unfortunate reminder for the need to install
working smoke alarms and to watch what you're cooking, Mr
Burtonwood said.

Interview with Tim Strawn
Well, after reading another topic I thought I would post the interview that I conducted with Mr. Strawn. A little bit of backstory first:
As part of a requirement for the school year I just completed, we had to do something called an "I-Search." Basically we were to choose a topic that meant something to us and that would be of some benefit to us. I chose racquet stringing because I love tennis and had gotten into stringing around that time. I posted at the GSS boards and Mr. Strawn responded very quickly to my post and was willing to be interviewed.
The interview was a joy all around for me although it was hard to keep typing because all I wanted to do was listen to what he was saying. Doing this interview probably completed around 60-70% of my project in terms of fact gathering. Most of my peers made up their interviews, but I was fortunate enough to have a great primary source.
Now for my usual disclaimers before a long post
1. There will be some parts where the grammar drops off because I was trying to type what he was saying.
2. I'm FAR from a good interviewer so I apologize for anything that you think was a stupid question. Part of it was lack of know-how//experience, and the other part was me wanting to know more about something I was in the dark on.
Here's the interview!
1. When did you string your first racquet?
1987, about an hour and a half
2. How many racquets do you believe you have strung?
I couldnt even tell you. Some guys will say theyve strung 10000 racquets, and I dont even know how you measure that. If you keep accurate records from day one then maybe, but I strung for people off the record for so long. I really cant give you a number, but its been a lot.
3. Was there someone who got you interested in stringing, or was it just a hobby?
I was a certified pro, and it was a local business that serviced racquets. I w anted to do something for students. I thought they needed better it was really more as far as the start, more for the students. More for them than for money or for anything else.
This would have been on an ektelon H and bought a true tension mension strung on it for around 13 years. Mounting systems were different, but true is better mounting.
I strung on the 13 for many more years. Solid metal plates that runs circumference around the plate of the machine, with holes and guide pins.
4. How did you move from stringing for yourself to tournaments?, and what single factor played the biggest role in that move?
Im a firm believer that when you own a business that its important to network. I attended tournaments and SGMA supershow, at GWCC for dealers only. Encompassed all sports, represented anybody. 100,000 dealers
Attended seminars and symposiums at the USRSA. Attended all of them. One presenter that I attended 2 or 3 times, he remembered me. In 2000 rca championships, last minute cancellation from friend.
5. Now that you string for tournaments, does it pressure your home life?
No, not really. Im now retired, I used to work with verizon for 37 years. During my 7 weeks of vacation, I strung at wimbledon. I strung at wimbledon 2002, us open, and this years us open. Im going to Madrid for the womens tournament. Both kids are grown, and wife doesnt always enjoy travel. I did a lot on my own.
6. Is it possible to mix stringing for pros and another career? Why or why not?
Yeah. There are a lot of people who do that. VERY few make all of their own money. Slams want you there for the entire event, and most slams are 3 weeks. Qualifying as well.
7. Take us through a typical night before a tournament. How much preparation is there, and could you describe what goes on? For example, team inventory check, machine testing, string set cutting, any prestretching, etc. Not much goes on. When you travel, youre a part of a team. The team leader supplies everything, strings, etc. Im not leading the Memphis team. I work with friend from Birmingham, and asked me if I wanted to help. Its a fun little tournament .
8. How important is it to find a groove and finish job after job?
Most tournaments allow you the opportunity to ease into it. Memphis starts either Thursday or Friday, and youre not rushed for a timeframe because theyre prestrung. Day before main draw is very busy, and once you get started you get into a groove of like 15 or 20 minutes. Time is not a luxury you have. Racquets pile up quickly. Certain players leave 2x or 3x as many for other players. You have to stay ahead of the game and do the racquets with perfection in mind.
9. Of all the stresses a tournament puts on a stringer, what is the most difficult?
Its probably about the only stress. Everyones in one room and ones on the stringing machine and theres a whole box of racquets in front of you.
10. Other than being around the ATP/WTA, are there other perks involved with the job?
Depends on how you look at it, how you schedule. First year to wimby was first Europe year. Daughter flew over, and after wimby was paris. Perks would be a business trip, write expenses off for taxes, and you can see a lot of other places. Travel is involved. At wimbledon, it slows down a little and say, hey why dont you take the sights in Lady in charge of wimby had me do radio interviews, take clients of theirs and get passes. My job to take them into press room at center court.
Us open had me there for two weeks, I didnt see one whole match. Ive seen plenty of wimbledon tennis. Memphis, as it tapers, we get walkie-talkies when someone minds room and shop. We communicate allowing us to get out and move around.
11. What are the best and worst parts about being a stringer for professional players?
Best part is the people you meet and get to know. Make new friends, relationships always learn something if thats your mindset. Thats probably the biggest plus to see. Ive enjoyed seeing the tennis
Biggest downside is probably long travel. 7-8 hour flights overseas are pretty tough. Never really had too many bad working experiences. Nothing ever made me want to quit.
12. Who is the most well-known person that you have strung a racquet for?
Roman of RPNY worked with us. He strung for agassi. In 2002, we strung for federer. I didnt string his racquets. We might have strung for him in 2003. Sharapova, roddick, federer, those guys are all for that firm. I strung for roddick, serena, such a long list. So many over the years that Ive had opp. To work for. For ppl not too familiar, Ive worked with both people.
13. Are there any jobs, such as a certain player's racquets, or a specific racquet//string combination?
A lot of Europeans uses all polyeyester using real small 90 heads. That stuff really tears the fingers.
14. What's the most important thing to remember when you are stringing a racquet for anyone?
Most important thing to remember or keep in mind, be consistent. Mounting, pulling, clamping, cutting, tieing knots. Consistency. So youre not changing it up. If you have a pro, and says string all of these at 25 hes going to want to hear 25 kg from each racquet. Be consistent, thats the most thing. Not just for pros, but for everyone. Its a little more important at the pros, as theyre picky and demanding.

Kate Gosselin blames her daughter's bad behavior on stage fright. (UPDATE: Kate went NUTS backstage!)
Yesterday afternoon an interview took place on the Today Show that totally made my week. Kate Gosselin's 13-year-old twin daughters embarrassed their mom for being put on the spot. On live TV. It was precious. (Watch the video here)
Shortly after storming off the stage, she immediately beat the s**t out of them, and then tweeted "Thanks to @TODAYshow for having Cara, Mady and me on the show today! 1st live interview can render even the gabbiest girls speechless." She added: "I'm proud of them, taking this opp! They were so excited but caught off guard by live tv!" Just kidding about the beating them part…. as far as I know she didn't beat them.
It was obvious damage-control on Kate's part, but Kate denied it. "No damage done. They wanted to do interview with me, I said 'go for it' #morelifeopportunites #proudmomnomatterwhat."
After one Tweeter wrote, "You could tell they were scared of saying the wrong thing, that's why they kept looking at you!" Kate replied, "There were no right or wrong answers. They just had a case of 'stage fright' #notactors."
You KNOW Kate let those poor girls have it after the camera's stopped rolling. I'd put money on it.
NYDN has an insider who was at the Today Show after the taping. This is what they said:
Backstage after the disastrous non-chat, Kate let the girls have it, says our source.
"She went type-A crazy," says our insider. "She was upset that they had a chance to speak for themselves and defend her and they blew it. She told them, 'You embarrassed mommy,' and some people heard. She was not happy."
The girls' father, Jon, chimed in, telling "Inside Edition" Thursday that he blames his ex for what happened. "Definitely. Someone has to sign the paperwork for them to go on television. It wasn't me. They're minors … You put our kids into a situation that they were not prepared for at all. They weren't allowed to be themselves."
I think it's creepy she referred to herself in the third person. "You embarrassed mommy!" Creepy!

The Belgravia Hair Loss Centre publish their newest hair loss video diaries and hair growth comparisons. The results are thought to be the best hair treatment results ever captured on video.
London, UK (PRWEB) February 11, 2009 -- For six months now, the Belgravia Centre have been monitoring a hair loss treatment user with video diaries. Diya Lababidi has been using one of Belgravia's optimum treatment combinations and filming video reviews and hair growth comparisons every three months. The treatment course that Diya uses consists of the most effective combination of treatments available for thinning hair.
Back in November when Diya filmed his second video, Belgravia reported on what was believed to be the best hair loss treatment results ever captured on video, and their newest videos which were published last week are testament to this claim.
"These videos really sum up what many people are so sceptical about," says Belgravia director Jonny Harris, "using the right combination of proven treatments, with certain booster products and careful monitoring by a specialist, these are the kind of results that can realistically be expected for those experiencing hair loss. And we're not just talking about men - women see great results too."
"Diya is just one of the many thousands of guys that use Belgravia's treatment courses and see spectacular results. The great majority of men and women will stop losing their hair and most will also experience hair regrowth - the amount of regrowth varies from person to person."
"Although this is only Belgravia's first set of video diaries, we publish numerous '/>"/>

Cinnamon Sugar Pull Apart Bread
Photo: caroveys
Community Recipe from
- Dough
- 2 3/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup(s) sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoon(s) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 ounce(s) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup(s) whole milk
- 1/4 cup(s) water
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- Filling
- 1 cup(s) sugar
- 2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh ground nutmeg
- 2 ounce(s) unsalted butter, melted
- In a large mixing bowl (I used just the bowl of my stand mixer) whisk together 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Set aside.
- Whisk together eggs and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, melt together milk and butter until butter has just melted. Remove from the heat and add water and vanilla extract. Let mixture stand for a minute or two, or until the mixture registers 115 to 125 degrees F.
- Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula. Add the eggs and stir the mixture until the eggs are incorporated into the batter. The eggs will feel soupy and it'll seem like the dough and the eggs are never going to come together. Keep stirring. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of flour and stir with the spatula for about 2 minutes. The mixture will be sticky. That's just right.
- Place the dough is a large, greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Place in a warm space and allow to rest until doubled in size, about 1 hour. *The dough can be risen until doubled in size, then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. If you're using this method, just let the dough rest on the counter for 30 minutes before following the roll-out directions below.
- While the dough rises, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg for the filling. Set aside. Melt 2 ounces of butter until browned. Set aside. Grease and flour a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Set that aside too.
- Deflate the risen dough and knead about 2 tablespoons of flour into the dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes. On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin to roll the dough out. The dough should be 12-inches tall and about 20-inches long. If you can't get the dough to 20-inches long… that's okay. Just roll it as large as the dough will go. Use a pastry brush to spread melted butter across all of the dough. Sprinkle with all of the sugar and cinnamon mixture. It might seem like a lot of sugar. Seriously? Just go for it.
- Slice the dough vertically, into six equal-sized strips. Stack the strips on top of one another and slice the stack into six equal slices once again. You'll have six stacks of six squares. Layer the dough squares in the loaf pan like a flip-book. Place a kitchen towel over the loaf pan and allow in a warm place for 30 to 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size.
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Place loaf in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is very golden brown. The top may be lightly browned, but the center may still be raw. A nice, dark, golden brown will ensure that the center is cooked as well.
- Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread and invert onto a clean board. Place a cake stand or cake plate on top of the upside down loaf, and carefully invert so it's right side up. Serve warm with coffee or tea.
- I think this bread is best served the day it's made, but it can also we wrapped and kept at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Columnist Ignored Conflicts of Interest
In her Sept. 28 guest column, Dr. Joey Banks ignored conflicts of interest in entrepreneurial medicine, illustrating the damage done to medicine by the "conservative revolution" and the resulting uncontrollable costs thereof. I will restrict my comments to reproductive medicine, as were hers.
Prior to 1965, when my father practiced medicine in Lewiston, Medicare and MaineCare were non-existent. Few physicians were incorporated. There was less insurance and litigation and health care costs were much lower.
Now, medicine is completely commercialized and corporate socialism is the norm.
Financial interests dictate practice and the physician-patient relationship is barely a memory.
"Caveat emptor" is the rule now, but patients are at great disadvantage in observing that admonition, because of the great authority of the physician and the unfair power balance in the relationship due to the exclusive licensure of physicians. Patients are rendered "hostage clients," also compromising their autonomy.
There is also the hexing power of medical practice, well- described by Darian Leader and David Corfield in "Why People Get Sick: Exploring the Mind-Body Connection" and amplified by Peter Breggin in "Medication Madness."
In reproductive medicine, true informed consent is often lacking. Contraceptives are powerful chemicals whose side effects, complications or alternatives are not always known or stated, especially because physicians derive perhaps 50 percent of their office revenues from their provision.
Similarly, providers have a vested financial interest in the performance of abortions, and may not know of alternatives, or may ignore them, even when referrals are made.
Dr. Banks objection to recent federal regulations was fraught with conflicting self-interest, as was her call for physicians to ignore their consciences regarding abortion and contraception.
It was also inappropriate to invoke "never to deliberately harm anyone for anyone else's interest," a strange rendering of the Hippocratic principle, "First do no harm," or, "to keep the good of the patient as the highest priority."
That is not her primary intention at all.
In fact, her column strikes me as a shabby attempt to drum up business, and a sad commentary on the ehtical state of medicine and how far we have strayed from Hippocratic ideals and our past.
Medicine used to be altruistic, philanthropic and a quasi- religious calling, in overriding service to humanity. Now, the god of commerce occupies the sacred temple of medicine, and we are all the worse for it.Paul Corrao, M.D., Lewiston

Amidst infectious enthusiasm and a substantial crowd, The Hindu's Clean Chennai workshop, part of its My Chennai My Right campaign, kicked off at Chitlapakkam on Saturday. Residents, across ages, began arriving at the auditorium of N.S.N. Matriculation Higher Secondary School, Tirumurugan Nagar early in the morning. Once the speakers took the stage, the audience was all ears, not just taking down notes but also participating keenly in the interactions that followed.
Read what the residents had to say about the Clean Chennai campaign here.
The day began with presentations by Srinivas Krishnaswamy, founder, Krya, and a solid waste management consultant; Navneeth Raghavan, home composting expert; and Mathew Jose, founder, Paperman. Mr. Krishnaswamy reminded residents that it was their garbage, segregated and otherwise, that found its way to landfills in Perungudi, inside Pallikaranai Marshland and also in Kodungaiyur. He reminded them that by 2015, there would be no landfill sites and that home composting was the only way out.
While Ms. Navneeth demonstrated a simple yet effective method of composting kitchen waste, Mr. Jose displayed an easy-to-use bag that can store paper and plastic waste. The bags would also be used to fund education for children from lower income groups.
Members of the audience displayed a keen grasp of the issues related to garbage disposal. P. Malarvizhi, a resident of Kunrathur, said that the key component of the campaign against garbage would be the spreading of awareness among children while V. Santhanam of Chromepet noted that attempts by residents to segregate at source were pointless as the garbage was mixed by local bodies later.
Many residents such as V. Preetha focussed on domestic efficiency and frugality. "Fifty-one per cent of the total waste generated in homes is compostable. A good portion of this is food — both stale and fresh — that is wasted by households. If we can ensure that not a morsel of food is wasted, this amount will come down considerably," she said. Chitra Prasad, Correspondent of N.S.N Matriculation School was present, along with several teachers.

Storm warning up in S. Leyte for first time since '94
MAASIN CITY, Philippines – Weather officials raised Public Storm Signal No. 1 over Southern Leyte on Tuesday – the first storm warning in the province in 17 years – and the largest elementary school in this provincial capital suspended classes in anticipation of heavy rains and possible flooding brought by Tropical Depression Ramon.
Pupils at the Tomas Oppus Pilot School were sent home about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday after Storm Signal No. 1 was raised in Southern Leyte, the first in the province since Typhoon Bising in 1994.
Fishermen along the coast secured their fishing boats and residents along the Canturing River in Maasin were warned of the approaching cyclone. The Maasin port, the biggest in the province, was empty.
Southern Leyte Governor Damian Mercado said he alerted all local executives and their respective risk reduction management councils to prepare for "Ramon."
"Our facilities and equipment are on standby and ready to be pulled out in case of emergency," Mercado told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
"Ramon" was moving in a west-northwest direction at 17 kilometers per hour, according to the 5 a.m. bulletin from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
As of 4 a.m., the center of Ramon was estimated at 360 kilometers east southeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur. It had maximum winds of 55 kilometers per hour near the center, Pagasa said.
Signal No. 1 has been raised over Eastern Samar, Western Samar, the Leyte provinces, Bohol, Biliran, Camotes Islands, Surigao del Norte including Siargao Island, Surigao del Sur, Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, the Dinagat Group of Islands, and Camiguin Island.

Tahini Soba Noodles with Caramelized Jumbo Sea Scallops
Her blog Simply Healthy Family is a collection of family friendly dishes. Her food is eclectic and never boring and her photos are lovely.
Take the time to check her out, it is a fun read.
Greetings from the Sonoran Desert. My name is Gwen and I'm so excited to be here on one of my favorite blogs and to share one of our favorite recipes. I do hope you stop by and say hi, I love meeting new people with a love for good food.
I've been a fan of Lazaro Cooks since I started blogging a few years ago. His cooking style is what mine used to be 3 or 4 kids ago. His take it or leave it personality mimics mine and I love to read his blog while sipping a glass of red wine and longing for the day when I can cook amazing, grown up food with actual spices in it without having to clean it off of the walls afterwards.
In the mean time, I am still dedicated to cooking a wide variety of healthy foods without sacrificing flavor in hopes that I can still enjoy my love for really good food without starving my 4 kids.
So thanks Laz, for giving a girl something to look forward to and for a good laugh at the end of a long, hard day.
I love ethnic foods. Especially when it involves exotic spices and seafood. I also have a serious addiction to veggies and seafood. Even as a child I adored giant sea scallops and requested them for my birthday every single year along with Khalua cake. My mom used to put cayenne in EVERYTHING from spaghetti, mixing it into peanut butter and sprinkling it on top of cottage cheese, so I grew up being accustomed to spicy foods. I have to hold back a bit on the spices with my little ones but am trying to build up a tolerance as we speak.
The kids loved this Tahini soba noodle dish slightly sweetened with honey and which I served to them with cubed chicken and saved the spicy-sweet jumbo sea scallops for my husband and myself. Tahini is a wonderfully mild paste made from toasted sesame seeds and commonly used in hummus. I've never been a big fan of peanut butter but love tahini's unique taste. Feel free to use peanut or almond butter in this if you wish.
You Will Need:
10 oz. uncooked Buckwheat (soba) noodles
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup veggies such as Bok Choy, Bell Peppers or Broccoli2 carrots, peeled and shaved
1/2 cup tahini paste
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons Tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce)
1-2 tablespoons Organic, Raw honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
6 giant sea scallops (can used cooked cubed chicken as a variation)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2-3 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Optional Garnishes:
1/2 cup sliced green onions
chopped cilantro
1/2 cup chopped peanuts or sesame seeds
crushed red pepper to taste
Cook soba noodles according to package directions, about 8 minutes.
Meanwhile: Heat a large, heavy based stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Prepare scallops by rinsing quickly under cool water and pat dry with paper towels.
Shave carrot lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler. Combine broth, tahini, ginger, Tamari, honey, pepper, and garlic; stir with a whisk until smooth.
In a small bowl, stir together brown sugar and cayenne. Gently press each side of the scallops into the mixture one at a time. When your pan is hot, add a small pat of butter and coat. Place scallops into the pan and cook untouched for 2-3 minutes, lowering heat a bit if necessary. Using tongs, flip scallops and cook another 2 minutes. DO NOT overcook scallops!
Remove from heat and serve on top of noodles immediately.
Combine carrot and other veggies, peanut sauce, and cooked noodles in a large bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with slivered green onions, cilantro and chopped peanuts. Top with seared scallops and serve immediately.
Please check out Gwen from Simply Healthy Family.
That's it for now...till we exchange a few words again...Peace!

Compounding Pharmacist Now Consulting for Doctors Needing Help Prescribing Bio Identical Hormones
Compounding Pharmacist Denise Burnham is now filling a need customers have been asking her for years. She assists medical doctors prescribe personalized dosages of Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy for their patients. Most medical doctors are not used to prescribing compounded products. The doses Burnham recommends are very specific to a woman's age, weight, symptoms, and medical history so that no two prescriptions are alike. Determing their needs takes time. "My consultations take an hour, and medical doctors don't have that kind of time per patient," says Burnham.
Wilsonville, OR (PRWEB) January 24, 2011
Denise Burnham, compounding pharmacist and owner of Creative Compounds announces she is now consulting doctor's menopausal patients to bridge the gap between menopausal women desiring personalized compounded Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). "Often when patients approach their medical doctors about wanting information about BHRT or other options to conventional hormone replacement therapies, the doctors refer directly to me to consult and advise dosages," Burnham reports.
"One patient came to me after her medical doctor said she didn't know how to prescribe "Ëœnatural hormones'. The patient was perplexed, and asked why medical doctors don't know about these types of medications."
Most medical doctors are not used to prescribing compounded products. Large drug company studies determine dosing guidelines for manufactured drugs. These hormones are either in manufactured medications or have been around for many decades. On the other hand compounded medications are created specific to a patient's needs, to ensure the patient receives a theraputic dose that is right for her needs. The doses we recommend are very specific to a woman's age, weight, symptoms, and medical history so that no two prescriptions are alike. "My consultations take an hour, and medical doctors don't have that kind of time per patient," says Burnham.
The point of prescribing BHRT is to get precise dosages so women are not over medicated with hormones, and to get away from the "one size fits all" doses of traditional hormone replacement therapy. When a proper hormone balance is achieved, symptoms like depression, fatigue, weight gain, memory loss, dry skin, hair loss and low sex drive can be minimized or eliminated. Many women are becoming self- educated about different treatment choices to relieve menopausal symptoms, but have difficulty finding an expert BHRT prescriber.
"It takes time to help women find their individualized dosages, and because I compound these products, and have over 13 years of experience and an extensive background in listening to women about the effects of their medications. It is not uncommon to change the initial prescription up to three times, and then yearly based on symptoms and testing, another process too time consuming for medical doctors," says Burnham.
Denise Burnham consults patients in the United States, and can be reached at 1-877-6111. Visit http://www.creative-compounds.com for a complete list of products and services.

I get this nice picture, which shows a group of german soldiers and a chinese soldier. Unfortunately there are no notices on the backside of the photos but I think the pictures were taken in the Boxer War or in the period of 1901 and 1903. Nice to see the different uniforms and headgears.
But who is that chinese guy? Is he a member of the chinese company, which was stationary in Kiautschou? Or is he a member of the imperial chinese army?? But the jacket has for me a very german style. Look at the rank effect on his left arm. But I have to say that I´m not an expert of uniforms, by that I´m searching for help/answers.
All the best
and a close up of the chinese guy

Get your life together with Agent, the utilities app for Android that just became free
Since Agent launched ten weeks ago in the Google Play store, tens of thousands of users have downloaded it to organize their digital lives. Eighty percent of downloads use the app every day to manage their phone's modes related to battery life, sleeping, parking, meeting and driving.
Now, to ring in the new year, and according to CEO Kulveer Taggar, to "think about growth," Agent is free to download. The company has worked out a way to refund paid users and may eventually offer a premium upgrade.
Agent isn't meant to organize your life, it's meant to optimize your phone for what you're doing when. "My phone as a device should know when to go into this or that mode," says Taggar. That includes managing battery life, automatically reading texts when you're driving, disconnecting from bluetooth when you've stopped driving, recording where your car is parked, and sending reminders to follow-up after meetings, and one-click "running late" buttons for meetings.
Agent is working on upgrades that include integration with apps like Evernote and Dropbox. If your phone knows your next meeting is 30 minutes away, for example, you could launch Uber in one click. Other use cases, such as a way to let a select number of people know that your phone's battery is running low, or rules that put your phone on silent when you enter the office, will also be developed.
The app takes advantage of the Android operating system, which allows developers to take control of more permissions within the device than iOS does. No iOS app can put your phone on silent, for example, but Android phones can. iOS advocates argue that the tight controls give the user a more unified, consistent experience. Taggar says Google, which created the Android operating system, is working to fix this with consistency standards for Android devices made by HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Motorola, and the app makers who develop for them.
Previously Taggar founded Auctomatic, a Y Combinator startup which sold for $5 million to Communicate.com in 2008. His team developed Agent under the parent company Egomotion, which also developed Trigger, another task management app for Android.
Agent isn't alone in its mission to make smartphones smarter. A popular app called Assistant does some of the same things, and an app called Tempo is also a competitor, though it focuses more on information calendar management than basic phone optimization. Taggar believes integration with third party apps, as well as a superior user experience, will help differentiate Agent. The app's tens of thousands of users clearly agree.

My scores don't really match up with my over all rating for one basic reson. Naruto Shippuden is really in a class of it's own. The fillers that this and the orginial Naruto contain is at a very high amount but the actual meat is just amazing. This and the orgnial are two different animes that just shouldn't be confused. Both are very good in their own rught but, yeah. Sakura has always grinded my gears. Since the very beginning. I couldn't really wrap my brain around how much she annoyed me. But she got better. Maybe only a little, but at least I can tolerate her now. Thats always good. And everyone is spectacular. Naruto is still the same person he was before, just stronger. THAT'S what i like to see.
I just really like naruto so I agree with ur score, eventhough some parts are not as good, if I would rate on impression then it would definitely be around the 9.

Fast MX guys are amazing in their prime,at Hangtown in the olden times Danny Chandler could be seen on a (slow) KTM 125 wringing it's sluggish little neck,no point in shutting off if you just have to get going again.
His grin was visible when he came by sideways and backwards off jumps.
Truly an amazing and humble talent.
The old Hangtown track in the mountains up towards the Placerville area was built on mine tailings, a fine grained sandy silty with chunks kind of surface.
Made for huge whoops and chuckholes that would about swallow a bike towards the end of the day.
There was a swamp area one year that was endoing lots of guys,or making them tiptoe through in 1st gear,Hannah was the only guy who could jump/wheelie it with the bike vertical and the handlebar stuffed in tight to his chest.
I saw D. Laporte snap the front end off his works 125 there.........ouch MF.
I still think those 2 strokes back then sounded more like racebikes then these droning/farting/belching expensive ass 4 strokes.
Sure these new bikes are fast,they should be with what a rebuild costs.
A properly built new design 2 stroke 400 or 450 could be made to work.
No more handicap bullshit,450 against 450 2 or 4 stroke.
Or go back to an open class,race what you got.
Some bikes around at times

Japan postpones launch of new, cheaper rocket
More News from Associated Press
TOKYO — Japan on Tuesday canceled the launch of a new rocket it hopes will be a cheaper and more efficient way of putting satellites into space, saying it suffered a problem 19 seconds before it was supposed to blast off.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency official Yuko Hoshikawa said an automatic countdown for the three-stage Epsilon rocket stopped when an irregularity in the rocket posture was detected. No further details were immediately available on the scrapped launch from a space center on the southern Japan island of Kyushu.
Hoshikawa said the cause of the problem is under investigation, and that it was unclear whether the launch would be rescheduled.
The Epsilon is the first new rocket design for Japan since the H2A was introduced in 2001. The H2A continues to be Japan's primary rocket but officials are hoping development of the Epsilon will lead to improvements in the much more costly H2A program as well. Japan hopes to compete more aggressively in the international rocket-launching business.
Tuesday's rocket was to carry the SPRINT-A, the first space telescope specifically designed to observe other planets. It is to be used to watch Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
According to JAXA, the Epsilon costs about 3.8 billion yen ($40 million), one-third the cost of the H2A. The rocket is about 24 meters (80 feet) tall, half the size of the H2A, and can be assembled and readied for launch in just one week, one-sixth of the time required for the H2A.
The Epsilon rocket, which uses a solid-fuel propellant, is meant to broaden the range of space missions Japan is able to perform and lower the hurdles to space by streamlining the launch process. JAXA says the rocket's extensive use of computer technology means monitoring work that once required a fully staffed control room can now be done essentially on a single laptop.
"If we hope to make the access to space much easier, more sophisticated factors are required," project manager Yasuhiro Morita said in a pre-launch statement. "We are trying to make rocket launches much simpler and ordinary events."
