Steven is incredibly accommodating and answered any questions I had during my first TURO experience. His car makes for a very comfortable and enjoyable drive.

Steven was a fantastic sport and helped us first time renters with patience and guidance. Easy car pick-up and delivery. Would recommend Steven to everyone!

Steven was great to do business with! Responsive, punctual, and flexible - all the qualities that made our first experience with Turo absolutely awesome. His beautiful Tesla was in immaculate condition and made out last day in SanFran unforgettable. Thank you!

I had an excellent ride in Steven's Tesla S. The car is beautiful and drives even better than I'd expected. Power it does not lack. Steven was great to work with both in terms of communication and convenience of delivery and pick up. Can't wait to rent it again.

Apologies for my very late review. Experience was great. By far the easiest car rental experience I've had. Steven was great to deal with-prompt and easy communication and great directions/instructions to locate and access car. Would definitely repeat!

Pickup and dropoff was nice and easy, Steven was very quick with all of his communications, and the remote lock/unlock was super useful.
Car could use a cleaning on the inside, but wasn't terrible. Drove well though, and so I think it's great for the price!
Thanks Steven

Steve was very easy to get in touch with and was very responsive. The charger and phone charger in the car were nice touches (FYI - not compatible with an iPhone 6S). Be careful when leaving the parking lot, there is a specific spot you need to drive over to safely open the gate without it hitting the car. His car was peppy for zipping around the city.

Steven was very accommodating and helpful during the whole process. Jessica was a dream to drive, perfect car to cruise around the bay!

All went well. Jessica was great. Took her to Oakland and back and it was a fun ride. Easy pickup and dropoff.
Tracy J.
– November 20, 2015
Wonderful! We took Steven's car for 5 days driving up the lost coast and it drove beautifully the whole time. Pickup and drop off was super easy and Steven was always responsive and friendly. I'll look to him again for my next excursion!

Last min call! Thanks Steven to be so responsive ! Had a really good trip with this nice and convenient mini cooper ! Thanks again ;)

The car is a bit run down but it was fun very peppy. It was great to drive on highway 1. easy pick up and drop off near the airport.
Kyla P.
– September 7, 2015
Great car to experience Big Sur Highway in! Steven was very accommodating and met me with the car down town. Had a great time driving it and drop off was a breeze at the Turo lot near the airport. I would totally rent this car again!
Steven L.
– September 3, 2015
Steven was very accommodating and communicative. Unfortunately, a truck kicked up a rock and cracked the windshield. Steven was very understanding and was great to work with. Jessica (the MINI) is a blast to drive, great on gas, and perfect for motoring around the Bay Area. Don't forget to wave at other MINIs while driving her!

Steven was great to rent from. With a pickup in the heart of SF and a drop off at SFO Turo lot everything was super convinient. The car ran great and was a fun drive. Definitely recommended.
Alex R.

Steven..... Thanks so much! The car was a great drive along the coast. Communications were very prompt. Pick up/drop off was very easy. Great little car. We will use again!
Kathleen U.
– August 19, 2015
What can I say? A+ all the way. It was my first Relay Ride and I love it. The car was a bit dirty from the previous rider which Steven didn't have time to check in on but I clean it up and he reimbursed me for it. He's great with keeping communication open and on negotiating. Definitely will rent from him again in the future. Great service. Great car.
Brian T.
– August 15, 2015
Steven was great to work with and we had a blast going up to Sonoma for the weekend in his hot hatch Mini Cooper. We would recommend renting from Steven to anyone looking for a car to rent in The city. Next time we come to California we plan on renting his BMW!

Car was easy to find. Mini's are always a great ride and the stored radio stations worked great. Communication with the owner was easy and timely so all went great. Not much different than borrowing a good friends ride.

Easy pickup and drop-off. The car was fun to drive and very clean!

Overall, the BMW is a great ride though it has a couple of dents and scratches and the interior is kinda dusty.
What impressed me is Steven's responsiveness and he is real friendly.
Great guy; answered all my questions promptly and I will definitely rent from him again when the opportunity arise.
Thanks Steven

I'm rating this trip 1 star because I can't rate 0 stars and despite the fact Steven is a really great guy. The car broke down on the first day of the rental leaving me stranded 1/2 between San Francisco and Sacramento. I had to ride in tow truck the remainder of the journey, which lead to a host of other issues I won't go into.
Even with the breakdown I would rate Steven 5 stars for his response. The short story is he arranged for a one way rental for my return back from Sacramento.
Why the one star? I had to pay for the one way rental IN ADDITION to having paid for the broken down car. A full week later Turo has failed to reimburse me for the rental fee associated with the car that left me stranded on the roadside.
The support response has been confused and lackluster.

Great trip. Everything went very smoothly.

Steven went out of his way to be accommodating and helpful throughout the entire experience. I cannot thank him enough for coming through despite a few hiccups along the way, and I would definitely recommend him and his vehicle to anyone in need of of a car.

Natra Z.
– March 30, 2015
Steven was wonderful to work with and very very helpful. He dropped the keys off right at our hotel and left the car right there. He even covered the short-term parking at the garage at the hotel. This was the best car rental experience I've ever had

The TESLA was so much fun to drive, and Steven was a very accommodating host/renter. The car was clean, everything was explained well--and we had such a blast. It was also nice that Steven included tolls, and took care of charging for us! He was very friendly, and we loved the experience--would definitely do it again!

Steven was an awesone host. As a first time EV driver, Steven was super patient and responsive with questions. During our trip to Napa we were nearing running out of juice and a txt to Steven asking about how and where to charge was quickly responded to. Thanks Steven!!!

This was my first Turo experience and Steven has proven that this is the most perfect and hassle free way to experience a dream car. Up until now, I could only dream of driving a Tesla and now it's all I can talk about. Amazing car, the most accommodating owner, I couldn't want for anything more. I can't wait to rent again!

Steven's car is in perfect shape - lots of fun to drive! He was also flexible and easy to work with when scheduling dropoff and pickup logistics. Definitely recommend.

We were especially impressed by Steven's responsiveness, especially towards events which could have been avoided had we followed instructions exactly. The car was rented on Christmas day and Steven's extremely prompt replies helped saved us much inconvenience throughout our trip. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better ride experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the rental and would highly recommend his Tesla to anyone looking to experience the magic of a P85 in the San Francisco area.

Guy O.
– December 24, 2014
My first experience with Turo and I'll definitely be back. Steven was quick to respond to any questions with clear instructions on pickup location. Quick checkout (no line to wait in like at the rental car checkout) and faster than the shuttle to long-term parking at SFO. Car was handed out by Turo attendant, just like a rental company. Professional experience and great car. I'd rent again from Steven in

I have already used Turo several times before, but this car and, above all, its owner were definitely the best experience. Steve is just great.
Florian M.
– November 12, 2014
Steven is a great owner, a fabulous person to have watching your back. And his Tesla is perfect, almost brand new, well maintained and fun. But, BUT, B U T, Turo forgot to put the power adapter in the car, which left me stranded 30 miles away from my destination. Thanks, Steve, for saving the day (80% of the rating). Zero points to Turo.
Seth G.
– November 6, 2014
Loved this clean, mechanically-sound car!! Being a first time Turo user I had to ask Steven many more questions than usual. He was not only quick to reply but very helpful and polite in doing so. It will be tough to rent from anyone else as the level of customer service could never be surpassed.
Grant E.
– October 27, 2014
Steven is very kind and understanding. If you get a chance, he's also pretty cool to talk to. He keeps car phone chargers in it for you, but is you have an iPhone 5/6 you'd want to bring your own.
Crystle W.
– October 25, 2014
Steven was a great owner who took the time to go over the car with me. The car was SWEET! I have never driven a car with the Sports seats like this one and it just hugged my aching back throughout the drive! The sound system (with all of the accompanying cables included!) was great!

Thanks to Turo and Steven for this great experience. We drove the car to Napa and we really enjoyed our trip with the beautiful Tesla. We will definitely rent it again!

Awesome experience! Working with Steven was a pleasure. The car was in excellent condition, fully charged, and it was a no hassle experience all the way. Both Steven and Turo were easy to work with. We needed to contact customer service during the verification process and they addressed the issue promptly. Would do this again with no hesitation.

Despite the nostalgia felt for the Nintendo 64′s GoldenEye (it's not as good as you remember), 007′s only had one truly great video game adaptation: 2004′s Everything or Nothing (it's better than you remember). Oddly enough, it was a third-person shooter, kicking the precedent set by previous Bond titles — Tomorrow Never Dies for PS1 not withstanding.
Upon the announcement of Bizarre Creations' new take on Daniel Craig's version of James "Blonde," my mind raced back to sitting on my parents' basement couch, spending way too much time replaying that pesky stealth mission and going head-to-head with an anachronistic Jaws, and I hoped that some supernatural force would shine its light down upon Blood Stone and take me back to those happy days. But it turns out that the light was shining up from below, and that the supernatural force was, in fact, the Devil.
A more appropriate name for Bond's new mission would be something like "Straight Line: The Game." Not only are levels nearly impossible to get turned around in, but if Bond could set down a skateboard and 'dude' his way through the stereotypical super villain hang-out zones, Blood Stone might resemble Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam. There are points, namely during chase sequences, when the player-controlled protagonist literally cannot fire any bullets until the game lets him. Even then, there's hardly any aiming required and whatever the computer lets you shoot at always explodes in the most convenient fashion.
The case could certainly be made that the game's creators simply wanted you to feel like you're in a James Bond story, complete with those epic, destructive set pieces we're all so familiar with from the films. That's fine, as long as you don't mind watching the game control itself during those awesome moments and wondering not only, "Why am I not doing this?" but also "Boy, I'm sure tired of looking at his back. Another camera angle would be nice."
During those precious times when control over 007 is yours, opportunity arises to murder hundreds of innocent guards without any moral repercussions. Taking up any seemingly endlessly supplied peashooter will provide that violent outlet, especially since there's no difficulty in doing so. Pulling back on the left trigger will line up the poor sap and the right will do him in. Easy squeezy. If you really want to decimate the playing field, however, using the never-failing X button while up close will slice and dice an enemy faster than you can say "Slap Chop!" Doing this provides "Focus Aims," which are essentially a knock-off of Splinter Cell: Conviction's "Mark and Execute" moves, except here it's just "Execute."
Never fear! Bizarre made Project Gotham Racing and Blur, right? The driving must be plentiful and great! While the former is certainly true, the Rule of Straight Lines applies here more than ever. Remember all that slick dodging and weaving Bond does in his nifty rides? You get to do that! And if you don't, expect numerous, painful, and lengthy 'Restart to Checkpoint' situations. Other cars manage to fly right in front of you, around you, and sometimes above you in an effort to push your skills to the limit! Thanks to the punishing restarts and "Hey man, you're too slow!" fail conditions, these sequences sometimes feel like a Stuntman rip-off — and no, that's not good, you idiot Stuntman lovers.
James Bond 007: Blood Stone is the most disappointing game I've played in a long while. I had considerably high hopes for another solid Bond adventure to scurry through, but this isn't it. The multiplayer mode isn't even worth trying — if the network can sustain a match long enough for you to get a kill, that is. It's a sad, miserable package — and I'm not just talking about James Bond's junk, either (there's not even any sex in this game — blasphemy!).
Things We Liked: Acceptable shooting mechanics. Gives the "feel" of a Bond movie at times. Melee combat is stylish and cool.
Things We Disliked: Extremely linear. Takes control away from the player at nearly every opportunity. Frustrating chase sequences. Combat is for babies.
Target Audience: Babies for the shooting. Masochists for the driving. Moms who want a "clean" James Bond experience – no sex here! Stuntman-loving jerk holes.

Delainey Aigner-Swesey moved to flight No. 2 with Chelsea Cabrajac, winning 21-7, 21-14.
April 16, 2013
Long Beach, Calif. - Long Beach State improved to 13-2 on the season, defeating CSU Bakersfield 5-0 on Tuesday, winning all five matches in straight sets.
Head coach Matt Ulmer made a few tweaks to the lineup on Tuesday, but the changes all worked as the 49ers easily won all five matches.
In fact, the closest match of the day came in the only flight without change, as Tara Roenicke and Caitlin Ledoux faced a scare in the first set against Shayna Guitare and Mariah Alvidrez, falling behind 19-14. The 49ers top duo made a push to tie the set however, and ultimately prevailed 24-22 in the first set before winning the second set 21-15.

Engineer Isaac Clarke is sent out into space to repair the communications array on the USG Ishimura, a mining ship that has lost contact with Earth. However, it's clear from the moment he sets foot on board, that this is not a simple repair mission. Forced to fight for survival against the hideously deformed crew of the ship, Isaac's only weapons are modified mining tools such as plasma welders or cutters.
The necromorphs are cunning and will use team tactics to swarm or flank, play possum among the dead until your back is turned, or hurl projectiles from afar. And, each monster requires different tactics to defeat with simple headshots not being enough to even slow them down. As you fight for survival, you must also accomplish missions in order to escape. No sooner have you restarted the Ishimura's engines to pull it out of its planet-ward death spiral, but you have to reactivate the defense grid against external threats.
And, all the while, the slavering hordes attempt to make your stay onboard a permanent one. Instead of a typical HUD, you can check on Clarke's status with visual cues. Upgrade your equipment with salvaged items as you fight your way from deck to nightmarish deck. As you watch a dismembered corpse drift away from you in zero-gravity, you'll be wondering from which direction the next attack will come.

Cons: i haven't beat it yet i just got it the other day but i hear it only has about 10 hours of gameplay and poor replay value.
Other Thoughts: I said i did my homework, meaning i read lots of reviews on this game and watched the animated move deadspace downfall to get an understanding of the story. for people that dont think the game has a good story should watch the movie and get a better understanding of the plot.

Awesome game, bad Platinum discs.
This review is from: Dead Space Xbox 360 Game
Pros: This is an awesome single player game. Makes you jump the first time you play it through. After the first play through, it becomes less terrifying and more fun. Definitely a must get, especially at this price.
Cons: The first disc I received was a Platinum edition disc (the cover is different from the one here) and it was a dud. It pushed my Xbox's disc drive extremely hard. I realized it was a bad burn (the disc had massive warping). The second disc I received after RMA was less bad, but still had warping. I was forced to install the game to make it not torture my drive.

GREAT atmosphere...
This review is from: Dead Space Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Great atmosphere and lighting. Interesting combat, and shooting the limbs off monsters is just _fun_. I really like the lack of a health bar area, it's an interesting way to do things.
Cons: I really hate save points, so that's a negative. Makes it difficult to leave if you have something come up. It's a series of fetch quests, which can be annoying, though it's handled well.
Other Thoughts: Well worth the money. Great game.

Very cool 'dark' game
This review is from: Dead Space Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Ben Broward (FarScape/SG-1) says its cool, it is.

Now that looked cool.

We have our eyes on Israel and are expectantly waiting for the Lord to show Himself mighty and strong as the great deliverer of the nation "He is exceedingly zealous for." (Isaiah 62:1) The first thing we must remember is that #God is unchangeable, and He never annuls, changes or adds to His covenants. God is not man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind. -Numbers 23:19God spoke directly to Abram and to all the generations of #Abraham that would follow saying, "In you all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, and I will bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you." What else needs to be said? That promise of God to Abraham who is the father of #Israel still stands for Israel today. Nations who support and stand with Israel will be blessed, and nations that stand against, dishonor, curse and threaten Israel will be dealt with by God, this is His promise to Abraham. Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." -Genesis 12:1-3 **Link removed** Edited 31 Jul 2014 by ncn Please do not post FB links 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do small cuts in your family budget affect your kids?
(I wrote this for BlogHer last week, but due to the election, didn't have the opportunity to post it here until today. Hope you enjoy this break from all of the political talk.) Although you may never have had to worry about making cuts in your family budget in the past, chances are that with the current recession you are probably examining your finances more carefully and trying to find ways to cut back on spending. It may or may not be a necessity right now, but when planning in uncertain times, the more money you can sock away in the bank, the more secureRead More →

Smugglers still cashing in on Michigan can refund
LANSING, Mich. Michigan lawmakers want to crack down on can and bottle smugglers they say are scamming Michigan for undeserved recycling refunds, corrupting a generous 10-cent per container payback policy once infamously portrayed in a "Seinfeld" episode and which beverage officials now claim costs the state millions of dollars annually.
"Seinfeld" characters Kramer and Newman failed miserably in their comedic attempt to cash in on the refund, when they loaded a mail truck full of cans and bottles in New York and attempted to drive them to Michigan. But lawmakers say it's a serious problem, especially in border counties, and they want to toughen penalties on people who try to return unmarked, out-of-state cans and bottles for refunds.
"If you are intending to defraud ... then you should be held accountable for it," said Republican Rep. Kenneth Kurtz of Coldwater. He recently introduced legislation aimed at cracking down on scammers who drive car and truck loads of cans from Indiana, Wisconsin and Ohio - states that do not offer refunds - to stores across the border in Michigan.
His legislation would make an attempt to return between 100 and 10,000 non-returnable containers punishable by up to 93 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. Current law sets penalties only for those who actually return fraudulent containers.
Michigan's 10 cent-per-container refund - the highest in the country - was enacted more than 30 years ago to encourage recycling. Many say it's worked. The state's recycling rate for cans and bottles was nearly 96 percent in 2011. By contrast, New York, one of nine states with nickel deposits on most containers, saw only a 66.8 percent redemption rate in 2007, the most recent figure available.
Despite measures Michigan lawmakers have taken over the years, including tougher penalties for bottle scammers and new machines that kick out fraudulent cans, store owners and distributors along the border say illegal returns persist.
Mike Hautala owns Hautala Distributing, which services Gogebic and Ontonagon counties in the western part of the Upper Peninsula near the Wisconsin border. He said for every case of beer his distributorship delivers to a store along the border, it picks up about seven more cases of empty cans.
The state loses $10 million to $13 million a year to fraudulent redemptions, according to most recent 2007 estimates from the Michigan Beer and Wine Wholesalers Association. Angela Madden, the association's director of governmental affairs, said that number has likely gone down slightly because of changes implemented since, but not by much.
Bill Nichols, store director at Harding's Friendly Market in Niles about three miles from the Indiana border, said the store takes in about $6,000 worth of cans a week. He said every week he kicks out people for trying to return large garbage bags full of cans from Indiana, a state that offers no refund.
"You can go into the parking lot and look at the license plates and see that it says Indiana," he said.
Distributors pick up the containers people drop off at stores and pay the store a dime for every container. If the distributor picks up more bottles and cans than it left - the likely result of fraudulent redemption - the distributor is left in the hole, Madden said. If the distributor picks up fewer cans than it dropped off, the money that does not go back to the store is sent to the state. Twenty five percent of that money is sent back to retailers and 75 percent is put in a fund that pays for things like environmental cleanup, she said.
Hautala said he lost about $25,000 last year picking up more returned containers than he delivered. He said his company will recover some of that money from distributors who sell more containers than they pick up.

Microsoft recently issued a patch I saw fly by to support 32GB Flash drives on Windows 7. You need to see if they issued one for XP.
I want to transfer files of 5Gb+ to my 32Gb flash drive but my flash drive is formatted in FAT32 and therefore will only allow a max. of 4Gb. I tried formatting it to NTFS using Windows XP Pro but the flash drive will not allow me. Is there a way around this or is there a flash drive of 32Gb or more that can or is formatted to NTFS?

Sarah Cantlay won her sixth straight match with a 6-2, 6-0 victory over Monica Rodriguez
Jan. 31, 2013
FULLERTON, Calif. - No. 39 Long Beach State improved to 2-0 in the Big West with a 5-1 win over Cal State Fullerton Thursday afternoon at Titan Courts.
In singles play, Klaudia Malenovska continued to be impressive, getting the 6-2, 6-1 win over Tiffany Mai at the No. 1 spot. Freshman Ebba Unden, who has not lost in singles play in 2013, had her match suspended due to darkness against Morgan McIntosh. Unden won the first set 7-6, and was down 6-4 in the second set when the match was suspended. Sarah Cantlay won her sixth match in a row, with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Monica Rodriguez. Anna Jeczmionka and Karolina Rozenberg capped off the 49er win with victories over Megan Sandford and Malorie de la Cruz. LBSU's lone loss came at the No. 4 spot as Eva Rodriguez fell to Emilia Borkowski 6-4, 7-5.
The win improves the 49ers to 2-0 on the season as well as in the conference. Cal State Fullerton falls to 1-4 overall and 0-1 in the Big West. LBSU finishes out its road trip with a 1:30 p.m. match Friday at Loyola Marymount.

Strong winds knocked out power in Oak City in Martin County Wednesday night.
Martin County Emergency Management director Mike Stalls says about 7:30 p.m. a shed behind a home near Highway 111 and Edmonson Road was damaged by winds 45-50 miles an hour. He says a piece of the tin roof wrapped around a power line, grounded, and apparently knocked out power to a substation. No one was hurt.
Stalls says the shed had previously been damaged in Hurricane Irene and that National Weather Service officials do not believe it was a tornado.

The Boomerang Effect: Movie Character Inspires One Man to Promote Change in the Advertising Industry
Holmes, Tamara E., Black Enterprise
EARLY LAST YEAR, THE NAACP. IN CONJUNCTION with Washington, D.C.-based law firm Mehri & Skalet, issued a sounding cry about the advertising industry: African Americans were grossly underrepresented. Sixteen percent of large advertising firms had no black managers or professionals, a rate 60% higher than in the overall labor market.
That finding came as no surprise to Lincoln Stephens. When the University of Missouri-Columbia graduate started his first advertising job at the Dallas-based agency TracyLocke in 2004, "I was one of only a few black males at a company of about 300 people," he says.
The lack of African American advertising professionals has broad ramifications, says Janelle M. Carter, an associate with Mehri & Skalet. Last year, the law firm and the NAACP launched the Madison Avenue Project, which fights racial discrimination in the ad industry. "If ad agencies were more inclusive, they could take advantage of a broad ranging diversity in talent and greater creativity," believes Carter. And so does Stephens.
After four years working in advertising, Stephens decided to channel his energy and expertise into helping the next generation of professionals by creating The Marcus Graham Project (www.marcusgrahamproject. org), a national initiative based in Dallas that provides training and mentorship to African American men in the advertising industry.
Named after Marcus Graham, the fictionial ad exec played by Eddie Murphy in the 1992 film Boomerang, the organization is designed to spark interest in the industry as the movie did for Stephens. "I remember seeing Boomerang, and there weren't that many images of successful blacks in the media," says Stephens, who is now 29. "The thing most prevalent in our country is advertising, but there aren't a lot of places where one can get exposed to these careers."
Last year, Stephens launched a boot camp, an 11-week program in which a team of African American men between 18 and 34 created real-world marketing and advertising campaigns. In last year's inaugural run, the seven participants created campaigns for clients such as the City of Dallas and Los Angeles-based eco-friendly clothing manufacturer Broccoli City. Besides the program, Stephens launched an online mentoring community (www.marcusgrahamproject.ning.com).
Today, the Internet forum boasts about 150 members who network, discuss industry trends, and share career advice. "Essentially, we're building a strategic army to go out and lead," say Larry L.

Very comfortable; a bit feminine Rated: 4/5
Somehow, the hat looks a little less masculine when you're actually looking at it on your melon compared to the image above. Perhaps the color looks a little darker in the photo. I noticed PG offers a red beanie that looks identical to this green one, but it's listed as a women's. Either way, it's fine. I like it. It's super comfortable.

A Beginner's Guide to Detroit: Motor City USA
Eons after massive ice beds melted and long-necked creatures ceased to roam, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac and comrades paddled their canoes onto the shores of le detroit (the strait). It was July 24, 1701. With the savvy French fur-trader Cadillac at the helm, the ambitious bunch cut down oak trees to build a fort, and a church they named St Anne's.
Take advantage of our new route to Detroit, aka Motor City USA, Motown and The D – and experience a similar sense of exploration with the help of our beginner's guide. For starters, there's the GM Renaissance Center. This global headquarters for General Motors touts seven interconnected skyscrapers, a 73-story hotel and plenty of spots to dine and shop. Rent bicycles, savour triple-scooped ice cream cones, and ride the carousel on the RiverWalk while waving to our Canadian friends to the south. Yes, a sliver of Detroit is the only place on USA soil north of Canada.
The not-just-for-kids Belle Isle, a short trek from downtown, is America's largest city-owned island park and a popular spot for picnickers and freighter-watching souls. With snippets of Windsor, Ontario on one side and The D's skyline on the other, the almost 1,000-acre isle features a maritime museum, conservatory and golf course. Minutes from the island's bridge, more than 250 independent merchants sell their wares at Eastern Market.
For lots of folks, Detroit sports rule. Three pro venues – football, baseball and hockey – are downtown, with the pro basketball team located in a northern suburb. Pubs, microbreweries and eateries – from casual Coney dog joints to elegant fine diners – furnish lively backdrops to celebrate a hometown victory.
The Henry Ford in Dearborn is so big you'll need days to see it all. Short on time? Watch the final assembly process of a pick-up truck, ride in a Model T, and peek at the limousine that USA President John Kennedy was riding in when he was assassinated. See more automobile-themed stuff at the Detroit Historical Museum and Michigan Science Center.
The world-renowned Detroit Institute of Arts, Opera House, 1920s Fox Theatre and Orchestra Hall are a fraction of the city's finest entertainment. Music buffs should stop by Hitsville U.S.A., the birthplace of Motown Records established by Berry Gordy in 1959.
Remember the 18th century St Anne's? You'll find the eighth and current neo-Gothic church in the midst of a vibrant, cafe-bakery-shopping-filled Mexicantown, whereas Greektown is your best bet for cravings like saganaki or scordalia, or to try your hand at poker in the Greektown Casino.
Sure, Detroit has had its share of hiccups spanning the decades. But guess what? The latest buzz on the street lauds The D as America's Great Comeback City. Now that's determination.

Save The ScreenSavers!
XScreenSaver is one of the most widely-used screensaver applications for Linux systems. The Debian project is seeking new maintainers to help keep the software running.
XScreenSaver offers a large collection of screensavers to the Linux world. At this time, only two people are charged with the task of maintaining the package and these individuals are currently lacking the time the project demands. For this reason, they have turned to the Linux community for help and encourage all interested parties to offer up their abilities.
Co-maintainers should check and sort tickets, fix bugs and initialize patches. In addition, they should test whether the new releases function well in cooperation with corresponding packages such as Kscreensaver. Also, some tasks for the almost complete Version 5.0.8 are on the table: the closed patches should be checked and any issues that arise with Kscreensaver should be accordingly resolved.
The software is hosted over GIT-repositories and interested parties may respond to Bug#521783 , create a fork in GIT, and then begin. An overview of available screensavers can be found on the XscreenSaver website.
Kill-joys are most hated when rightLet Xscreensaver die. Our problems with global warming will kill it. Giga-Watts of displays flashing and spinning, why?
SuggestionsI am not able to offer help, but a suggestion.
New screen savers should be semi intelligent
and semi-persistent game-like interactive

Decided last March to visit a cardiologist and establish a cardiac baseline. After all, I was now 63 and involved in a pretty intensive sport. A cycling buddy recommended a cardioligist who was also a cyclist.
The dr did some pretty extensive tests and most were great. The biggest problem is a thickening of the left carotid artery, and a stubborn LDL level just above 100 despite lots of exercise and a decent diet. I had been on Zedia proscribed by my GP, and that had my chol hovering about 200. Unfortunately Zedia does ok at controlling chol in many cases, but not the proven success of statins in preventing heart disease.
So after much balking, I agreed to go on Crestor. After about 4 weeks my LDL was down nicely, about 80, and chol was 166. Another 3 weeks showed even more progress. But at a price.
I found that, while I did not have any leg or muscle pain most of the time, when I was riding and needed to call on the legs for a sprint or climb, they felt like I had ridden 100 mi. Even after a week off the bike due to rain, first ride, same thing. I also noted that I was loosing core strength and my hands were numb after 15 - 20 mi since I was leaning on them.
I tried cutting the pill (and dose) in half to 12.5 mg for about 3 weeks. No help.
So now I stopped about 10 days ago. Amazing. The legs feel fresh, and no more numb hands.
Now I gotta inform the cardiologist and my GP. On today's ride I was talking to a Dr buddy who had the same experience. He's been off for about a year.

Benjamin Kalal
Dear Louis,
I am researching my paternal grandfather's WWI unit, Company B, 355th Infantry, 89th Division. According to the documentation, I was able to determine that Benjamin Kalal served with my grandfather, Gunder Anderson, in this unit.
Would it be permissible to use the photographs on Findagrave.com for any possible publications I might create? At this point in time, I have nothing specific planned, but I have aspirations of creating a book of this unit. It may be a novel, it may be something else. Who knows!
Thank you!

I don't think you have the right birthdate for William. My Aunt Stella, his sister, said he was a baby when he died. I have his birth year as 1878, not 1871 as you have in his Find a Grave information. If I am wrong, please let me know. I want to have the correct information in my records.

Since I had some extra time today, I thought I would do a little bit of research. I couldn't imagine why I would include pictures of markers that had nothing to do with these two people. I figured it out. Both of their stones are in with the Doxey family stones, so I figured they must be related somehow.

Deadend The seven GIDCs in the district find it difficult to acquire land as owners strike hard bargain.
Even as two-wheeler manufacturer Hero Motocorp recently announced postponing its proposed plant at Halol near Vadodara by a year due to delay in acquiring land, hundreds of industrial units seeking investments in regions surrounding Vadodara face similar predicament as Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) finds acquiring land an arduous task.
In fact, the GIDC recently decided to give up expansion plan for its Por unit near Vadodara as there is no land to offer, a source said.
As many as 967 applications are pending with the GIDC seeking land in Por. The officials had been trying to acquire around 300 hectares of land for the last three years to meet the demand of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) but were not successful as there is no land to offer in the region, a Vadodara GIDC official said.
GIDC officials are similarly facing difficulty in acquiring around 200 hectares of land for the proposed expansion of the existing Savli GIDC for 1,270 entities which have shown interest in investment in the region. Savli is located nearly 40 kilometre from Vadodara.
Villagers are not ready to offer agriculture land at the price we are offering, which is why it is becoming increasingly difficult to expand the GIDC at Savli, an official with GIDC Vadodara said, requesting anonymity.
According to him, the price offered by the government is much less than what is demanded by the villagers, which is the main reason why people are least interested in offering their land. While we are offering Rs 350 per square metre, villagers are demanding Rs 1,500 for the same, he said.
The body entrusted with acquiring land for industries on behalf of the state government has already decided not to go ahead with the proposed land acquisition in Waghodia GIDC for around 126 pending applications due to unavailability of land.
There are a total seven GIDCs in Vadodara district, at Savli, Makarpura, Ranoli, Dabhoi, Por, Narol, and Nandesari, housing MSMEs in sectors such as chemicals, glass, textiles, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals and petroleum & petrochemicals. Hero Motocorp, which proposed to set up manufacturing unit on 250 acres of land at Halol GIDC in Panchmahals district near Vadodara, has said the proposal was delayed since GIDC had managed to acquire only 130 acres land so far.

Czech fest draws thousands to Yukon for culture, cuisine
YUKON — It takes only three things to keep a Czech party Czech: Beer, dancing and food.
But mostly food, said Joanie Jezek Jedlicka, a volunteer with Oklahoma Czechs Inc., host of the 2012 Czech Festival held Saturday in downtown Yukon.
"Czechs love to party, they love to dance and sing, but mostly they love to eat," she said.
Like football Fridays, the annual festival is a homecoming of sorts for Yukon's pioneer Czech families. Some still have strong roots in town and others have ventured out across the region and country.
All of Jedlicka's grandparents emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Yukon in the early 1900s, she said. They were attracted to its fertile soil, she said, and though subsequent generations have abandoned farming, they stay true to their heritage.
"We have never spoken English at home," she said. "Even my puppies and kittens, they don't know English."
Now in its 47th year, organizers say the Czech festival draws as many as 50,000 people to the streets of Yukon, where traditional fair food vendors have a hard time competing with the organization's homemade kolaches and klobasys.
Kolaches are a fruit-filled pastry, similar to a Danish. Klobasys, the Czech version of bratwurst are served on rye, with or without sauerkraut. Both are festival mainstays.
The festival's food team ordered 1,500 pounds of meat this year, said Steve Wilson, who worked Saturday to meet the demands of a line a dozen people deep at the Czech Building on N Fifth.
"The only time you can get it is here," he said. "People wait 12 months to get them, I'm telling you."
More than just food
Under a wooden awning outside, Elaine Benda led a couple dozen young men and women through traditional Czech dances.
Clad in traditional folk garb, called "kroje," and decorated lavishly with embroidery and sequins, the dancers stomped their feet and clapped their hands to polka music.
In "Muzska Skok," a dance from the Silesia region, men carrying axes danced in circles, occasionally clapping their axes together and sometimes swinging them wildly through the air. In "Do Kolecko, Forma Kola" – "Dances with Circles" — women stutter-stepped individually and in a giant spinning circle, waving tasseled rings in the air.
As head of the local Czech School, Benda said her students aim to learn about and teach the culture's language and geography through dance.
"Each region has its own dances," she explained. "So that's how we're approaching it."
The cold, blustery day kicked off with a parade down Main Street and ended with the Czech-Slovak Royalty Pageant.
Winners were: Katie Holman, queen; Kelsie Rohling, junior queen; Makinzey Shirazie, princess; and Anthony Brown, prince.
Some came for the carnival, and others walked a midway that included Czech food and crafts, as well as typical American fare such as turkey legs, roasted almonds and cotton candy. Still others flocked to the beer garden.
Linda Weaver of Oklahoma City, joined by her friend Loyal Furry, of Norman, said she came to Czech Fest for the first time this year to immerse herself in the culture.
Dining and watching the dancers, Weaver said she forgot about the cold.
"I'm just enjoying the festivities, the music, and I'm enjoying the sausage, or whatever I have here," she said.

Who Is Mycle Wastman From The Voice Season 3?
On tonight's episode of The Voice Season 3, the final contestant of the night managed to wow the judges purely with the strength of his.
But it was Mycle Wastman's backstory that captured our attention (and had us reaching for a tissue). Mycle's father passed away from lung cancer and his mother died of a respiratory disorder when he was a kid. Mycle was raised by his grandfather, who passed away less than two weeks before his audition.
The Seattle, Wa. native took his childhood hardships and channeled them into making great music. He has already produced a full-length album — The Beautiful Stay. Mycle describes his sound as "dripping with old soul vibe."
That was evident with Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Cee Lo Green were all clamoring over each other to get him on their teams. His rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" had Cee Lo bragging and Blake calling Mycle the best performance of the day.
Ultimately, Mycle went with Team Cee Lo and his choice was no surprise given his soulful background. Mycle performs regularly around Washington state, but that will have to go on hold when he battles another member of Team Cee Lo on The Voice stage in a few weeks.

EA backs down on crappy DRM for Mass Effect
I love the age we live in. It's a time when not only does everyone have a voice on the internet, but we can also be heard. In the old days if you were upset about something, you'd write a letter to someone important, or perhaps if you felt strongly enough you might start a protest. However, if a company decides to load down a new game with really crappy DRM, thousands of people start complaining about it online, and then something gets done about it.

Apparently, CNN decided that they didn't have enough video of rioting in their recent story on unrest in Belgrade, Serbia, so they decided to add in footage of rioting in Budapest to sexy up the story. I have to say, if the Kosovars intend to make the cut with CNN in the future, they'd better start rioting to the satisfaction of CNN's video editors. Either that, or CNN can start showing us all some truthful video with their stories. Whatever the case, CNN's misstep doesn't just make them look bad, it makes all Americans look bad.

On July 30, CNN aired a report in their international news titled "Serb Ultranationalists Rally" in which footage of riots in two different cities and two different countries were edited together to represent the unrest in Kosovo. Serbian TV was a bit mystified by this embellishment, and rightfully so. RTS asserted that since CNN didn't have violent enough footage for their riots story, they "resorted to their favorite Hollywood trick" of "montaging and pasting together the sequences from Budapest and Belgrade protests" to accompany the story. (See foreign language report from <a href="http://www.rts.co.yu/page/stories/ci.html?view=story&id=8574§ionId=2... RTS TV)

Naturally, since the original airing and posting on the Internet, and since people began to ridicule CNN for the melding of video of riots in different countries, CNN has removed the video without comment. Making matters worse, many now see a conspiracy where they originally just saw incompetence. A screen shot of the original CNN page clearly shows a snapshot of the video compilation.

For now though, the false CNN "montage" can still be seen on YouTube.com. And on that YouTube.com page one can find comments from one viewer saying that at the beginning of the video "you can see Hungarian flags and in the end you can see subway station (Belgrade isn't in Hungary and has no subway)." The same commenter also notes that all the rest of the video was from Belgrade. Other posters note several Hungarian and Serbian landmarks in the video paste job.

Here is the original CNN video footage as posted on YouTube.com:

<object width="325" height="244"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VSjbX1W37sg&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VSjbX1W37sg&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="325" height="244"></embed></object>

Of course, what this sort of thing does is make America look bad to the whole world. CNN is not seen as "the left-wing media" by outsiders (even though it is). It is seen as the AMERICAN media. This sort of foolishness makes all of us look stupid for not knowing that Belgrade isn't Budapest, or for seeming to directly support one side or the other in the Serbian issue in our news reports, or all of the above.

On August 13, the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA) published its annual fair housing report titled "Expanding Opportunity: Systemic Approaches to Fair Housing." The paper summarizes 2013 fair housing enforcement actions and litigation, as well as federal policy developments, and provides fair housing-related data. NFHA reports that, overall, the number of fair housing complaints filed in 2013 remained flat compared to recent years, but notes that private fair housing organizations received more complaints of discrimination in real estate sales and homeowners insurance, as well as complaints of discriminatory housing advertisements by housing providers. According to the report, the DOJ Housing Section filed 43 cases in 2013, including 24 cases involving pattern and practice claims, compared to 36 cases in 2012, of which 21 involved pattern and practice. Of the 2013 pattern or practice cases, five alleged fair lending claims; 11 alleged rental discrimination on the basis of race, disability, sex, familial status, national origin, or religion; three alleged violations of the accessibility provisions of the Fair Housing Act; three alleged discrimination in land use and zoning practices or policies by local governments; and one alleged disability discrimination by a homeless shelter. Finally, the report provides, for the first time, an analysis of HUD data by region, which includes a breakdown of complaints by protected class within each of HUD's 10 regions.
