San Francisco has an estimated $27 million in "dead money" sitting on their cap from ill-conceived contracts. Players released or allowed to leave during the offseason include: starters QB Jeff Garcia, WR Terrell Owens, LT Derrick Deese, OG Ron Stone, RB Garrison Hearst, WR Tai Streets, S Zack Bronson and OG Ron Stone, along with four other players who played key backup roles.
Head coach Dennis Erickson could have the most talent-depleted roster in the league, but the "show must go on" and he has some intriguing players to work with on offense and defense.
Erickson expects more downfield passes and new offensive coordinator Ted Tollner is just the man to implement the new system. Do they have the players to make it work? That question will be answered fairly quickly as the season gets underway.
2003 defensive coordinator Jim Mora Jr. left to become the head coach in Atlanta and Erickson hired fiery Willie Robinson to man the stop unit. Robinson has extensive knowledge of the 3-4 scheme from his years in Pittsburgh and he plans on implementing more of that package with the Niners.
Offense: The offense could struggle big-time in 2004. QB Tim Rattay, who suffered a torn groin during offseason workouts, is young and has started only three games in four years with the team. All of those starts came last season and it remains to be seen how effective he can be.
In 2003 he was accurate and played well enough that the team felt good about letting Garcia go during the offseason. Rattay won two of his three starts and on the season he threw for 856 yards, completed 61.9% of his passes and threw seven TD's and only two interceptions. He excels at the medium and deep balls and his decision making is very good. He lacked mobility before the injury so it remains to be seen what that will mean after he heals. Reports are that Rattay has made a miraculous recovery and should be able to play in the final two preseason games and start the regular season behind center.
If Rattay struggles, Erickson seems happy with the progress of second-year QB Ken Dorsey. Dorsey doesn't have a big-time arm, but he is a great leader, makes good decisions, and he has added bulk to his frame which could help his arm-strength.
The Niners have questions all over their roster, but the one position that does not have a question mark by it is running back. Fourth-year RB Kevan Barlow gets the call and he has prepared all offseason for the workload. He has bulked up to 240 pounds and he expects to have a big season.
Barlow is great between the tackles, but he has enough speed to hurt teams if he gets the edge. He has a 4.7 yard career average, and the team wants to keep him on the field. In 2003 he rushed for 1,024 yards (a 5.1 yard average) and scored six TDs, but he fumbled five times and that stat must change. If he has one weakness, it is blocking. Hearst was adept at picking up blitzes and coaches have stressed this point to Barlow, hoping that he will be more willing to block since he is now "The Man".
Leading the way for Barlow is Pro Bowl FB Fred Beasley. Beasley is a crunching blocker and someone who, while underused, is a solid runner and good receiver out of the backfield.
The wide receiver corps took big hits over the offseason with the trade of Owens and the defection of Streets. Second-year wideout Brandon Lloyd is now the number one receiver, although he may be better as a number three wideout who can play the slot, and he has a flair for the acrobatic reception. Erickson says constantly in interviews that Lloyd is faster than people give him credit for and his abilities after the catch will be big on this team. Last season Lloyd caught 14 passes for 212 yards and two TDs.
Three-year veteran Cedrick Wilson and rookie first-rounder Rashaun Woods are expected to battle for the second spot. Wilson is very quick, gets out of his cuts well and works the middle of the field better than anyone on the roster. Wilson caught 35 passes for 396 yards for two TDs.
Woods at 6'2" and 205 lbs. is bigger than both Lloyd and Wilson and he is the consummate possession receiver. He runs crisp routes and has excellent hands. Following the team's final mini-camp, Erickson said Woods has a great chance to see extensive time this season.
At TE the 49ers have a good one-two punch in Eric Johnson and Aaron Walker. Johnson missed all of 2003 with a broken collarbone, but when he is healthy he is a good outlet receiver. Walker is big (6'6", 270 lbs), but his blocking still needs work.
The line is the X-factor this season for San Francisco. The key will be the development of second-year LT Kwame Harris. Harris, who was the 49ers' 2003 first-round choice, has the quickness, footwork, intelligence and athleticism to be a dominating left tackle. The learning curve is steep and he must improve his strength. Center Jeremy Newberry is the anchor of the line and is the team's best lineman. He is a punishing run blocker and he is very smart, making all of the line calls before the snap.
RT Scott Gragg has experience and smarts. He lacks top athleticism and he can be beaten off the edge by quick pass-rushers. LG will be held down by Eric Heitmann who has started 20 games over two seasons. He pulls well, but he lacks the strength to drive block on straight-ahead running plays. Second-round draft choice Justin Smiley is the most likely candidate to win the RG spot, allowing the team to move Kyle Kosier to a backup spot along the line.
The offense may struggle some this season. Look for Rattay to struggle early on as teams throw blitzes and coverages at him as he learns the ropes. The line must open holes for their most dynamic playmaker (Barlow) and their young receivers must mature faster than expected.
Defense: This unit will be expected to keep the team in games, while the offense gets its feet under them.
The defensive line is built for a 4-3 scheme and since Robinson plans to employ more 3-4 this unit could have trouble adapting.
10-year veteran Bryant Young is the elder statesman of the unit and he is the only remaining player from the 49ers' last championship in 1994. Young works very hard and has some quickness, but he lacks the size to play on the inside for 60 to 70 plays per game. There are rumors that he may see some time at LDE in the new alignment. Last season he accounted for three and a half sacks and Robinson thinks he can double that with 10-15 plays on the outside.
Second-year DT Anthony Adams is a perfect fit for the nose tackle spot in the 3-4 and he has the bulk to play strong against the run and demand double-teams. Rookie fourth-round selection, Isaac Sopoaga is also expected to bolster the run defense with his amazing strength and big body (6'2", 325 lbs).
At DE John Engelberger and Andre Carter are both quick and have improved against the run, but their lack of bulk makes them a better fit in a 4-3 scheme. Carter has trouble when a big LT gets on him quickly. He managed six and a half sacks in 2003 and his speed still makes him a threat.
DE Brandon Whiting, acquired in the Owens trade from Philadelphia, will likely play at RDE in the 3-4 alignment and he adds depth to the defensive end position.
The linebackers are the strength of this team, but there is a bit of uncertainty surrounding the unit.
After the season, the 49ers put the franchise tag on LB Julian Peterson and it is unlikely he will show up during training camp. Peterson is the strongside linebacker, but because of his unique abilities the coaches like to move him around. He can blitz, cover backs out of the backfield and at times he even lines up at safety. In 2003 Peterson finished second on the team with 95 tackles, led the team with seven sacks, and had two forced fumbles, two interceptions and 12 passes defensed.
Weakside linebacker Jamie Winborn is the other question mark. Winborn's last two seasons have been cut short by injuries and with a neck problem there is still concern that Winborn may have problems. He should be 100% for camp and his tackling and sideline-to-sideline pursuit are the best on the team. He covers the field well and he is always in on plays.
The middle spots are handled by Derek Smith and Jeff Ulbrich and both are outstanding at running and hitting. Smith makes the defensive calls and he is perfect as a mike linebacker. He led the Niners in tackles with 112 tackles and he registered three and a half sacks and seven tackles for loss. Ulbrich has the speed to play outside and he is good at stuffing the run.
The deep patrol has talent, but it remains to be seen whether or not they can put it all together. 2002 first-rounder Mike Rumph has not lived up to his hype before he came into the league, but he has improved in his first two seasons. He takes over for the departed Jason Webster and while he is big and strong, he lacks the quickness needed to keep up with receivers in the league. He is much better in zone coverage and he constantly needs help when going man-to-man.
On the other side is solid Ahmed Plummer. The fifth-year CB plays solid defense, is technically sound, and a sure-tackler. He plays well in bump and run and finished with 67 tackles, four INT's (one for a touchdown) and 16 passes defensed.
At SS the 49ers signed a great one in Tony Parrish in 2002 and he hasn't disappointed. Parish finished tied for first in the entire NFL with 9 INT's and he was all over the field, batting down 18 passes and registering 66 tackles.
Bronson started at FS in 2003 and he was let go for salary cap reasons. The 49ers are looking to either Dwaine Carpenter or Ronnie Heard to take his place this season. Carpenter started the final two games in 2003 and coaches were impressed with his instincts.
Overall the defense is weaker up front and strong in the back seven. The linebackers will be expected to make more plays in 2004 and the hope is they can improve from their 13th spot overall in the NFL. With a better pass rush they hope to prevent teams from passing all over the field.
Special Teams: K Todd Peterson returns after Erickson pushed for him to be signed. He is a consistent kicker with an adequate leg. Peterson hit 12 of 15 FG's in 2003 with a long of 48. His kickoffs are not very deep, but the team can live with that. Rookie Andy Lee is the likely punter and he has a strong leg and places it well. Like all rookie punters it remains to be seen whether or not he can remain consistent all season.
The last time the Seahawks and 49ers played: Seahawk fans should remember it well. It was the game that helped seal a playoff appearance for the Hawks. It was the final game of the 2003 regular season and the Seahawks needed a win to have a chance at the postseason.
A scoreless first quarter was followed by a flurry of scoring in the second stanza. Niners QB Jeff Garcia hit TE Jed Weaver for an 18-yard TD pass and then connected with WR Cedric Wilson from 14 yards out. The 49ers were up 14-0 and things looked bleak for the Hawks. Then QB Matt Hasselbeck got hot.
In a little under three minutes he drove the Hawks 73 yards and hit WR Alex Bannister with a beautiful 31-yard touchdown between two defenders.
After a three-and-out the Hawks got the ball back and scored on RB Shawn Alexander's three-yard run with :54 seconds left. The teams entered their locker rooms tied at 14-14 and the Hawks felt they had momentum on their side.
The 49ers took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 50 yards and K Todd Peterson kicked a 38-yard field goal to lift San Francisco to a 17-14 lead.
After trading possessions Hasselbeck hit WR Koren Robinson on an amazing 30-yard touchdown pass that dropped in barely before Robinson ran out of bounds. The Seahawks led 21-17 and they sealed the win with a 33-yard Josh Brown field goal.
In the game, Garcia completed 22 of 38 passes for 258 yards, two TDs and one interception. RB Kevan Barlow struggled gaining only 40 yards and being held relatively in check. Barlow also led the team in receptions with six, but WR Brandon Lloyd had the best game of his career catching three passes for 63 yards, including an acrobatic reception along the sideline.
Hasselbeck played well but made a few mistakes. He completed 24 of 37 passes for 315 yards, two TD's and two interceptions. Robinson had a great game catching six passes for 85 yards and the one touchdown and Alexander had his typical 85 yard one touchdown performance. Rookie CB Marcus Trufant had an interception and outside linebackers Chad Brown and Anthony Simmons each contributed 10 tackles.
A loss by the Dallas Cowboys assured the Hawks of their first playoff berth in four seasons. The Hawks were on their way to Green Bay.
2004 Projection: The 49ers are two seasons away from being competitive on paper. They lack talent at some positions and the talent that they do have in others is very young.
Erickson has intimated that had he known about the "fire sale" that was to take place this offseason, he might not have taken the job.
Robinson is a good defensive coach and he has some great pieces to work with. Peterson and Winborn are great and Bryant is a good leader. Parrish can make plays and they have two solid corners in Plummer and Rumph.
Offensively, this team may take some time to acquire the players needed to fit Erickson's system. If Rattay has a good season and the young wideouts come on they could surprise some people. However, expect them to finish at the bottom of the NFC West and for them to have their fourth losing season in six years.

Centrally located on Beach Road in Dubai, Euromed clinic is a premier medical center conceptualized as a one point family destination for all primary healthcare needs. Our aim is to offer quality medical expertise in a friendly and warm atmosphere. We offer a wide range of medical services, including Pediatrics; OB/Gynecology; Dentistry; Orthopedic; Psychiatry; Plastic Surgery; Family Medicine as well as Skin Care and Laser services.
What our patients say
I have been coming to Euromed clinic for the past few years. Both Rebecca and Janmae have conducted my treatment sessions for radio frequency, microdermabrasion, ultherapy and mesotherapy. I enjoy going to the clinic for a few reasons. First, both Rebecca and Janmae are very knowledgeable about the treatments they deliver and secondly the treatments have been very effective. I will continue to go to Euromed since: I am sure I will get the results I desire, the staff is very professional, and they do not believe in giving the consumer a massive sales pitch to sell more treatments. I would highly recommend Euromed clinic for a professional experience.
Dr. Miodrag is my orthopedic and he's also attending for my family for the last 10 years. I like his "no nonsense" approach. He is extremely intelligent, a compassionate and caring person which made him a truly outstanding doctor and the fact that for him medical ethics is more important than the commercial aspect of the medical business which is rare here in Dubai. I always believe in his high professional knowledge and enormous experience.
I've been going to Dr. Sofia at EuroMed clinic to get treatment for receding gums. Something which seemed like a nightmare to me has been transformed into a pleasant, pain-free experience with the new laser treatment. There has been a huge improvement just after 2 treatments!! Dr. Sofia and her staff are very friendly and thorough. They go to great lengths to make the patient feel at ease. I would very gladly recommend her to my friends.
I always have a very pleasant experience at EuroMed clinic. The staff is friendly and helpful, and go out of their way to attend to any queries and concerns. I have been taking my daughter to Dr Lali since she was a few months old and she is very attentive and has a way of making babies and children feel comfortable. My daughter looks forward to her doctor's appointments and to seeing Dr. Lali.
My experience with laser hair removal has been excellent at Euromed Clinic. The treatment is almost completely without discomfort. Underarms, thighs and calf result in very little sensation other than the cold air being blown on them during the treatment. Shins and ankles, which are nearer the bones, sometimes do experience the small pricking sensation but it is minimal and completely tolerable –it just leaves a small slapped feeling for a moment. Overall, the treatment sessions are relaxing, and the therapist and staff are always kind and caring. Results have been great.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
A powerful flash that forces one to question oneself. I think everyone can identify with the anger and sadness that go along with this flash, especially during the young age which you've shown.
The visuals and music you've shown provide for a haunting experience that last long after the flash is done. Brilliant.
All I can say is that this flash has made me think about life and its issue and for a cartoon on th internet, that's pretty impressive. Good job Luis.

UCF Seeking Redemption Against SMU
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) ? Central Florida was eyeing a return to Conference USA championship game last year before a 21-point loss at Southern Methodist sent the Knights into a 2-5 tailspin to end the season.
UCF enters Saturday's matchup 4-0 in league play and in the driver's seat in the East Division. It is again focused on getting back to the title game, but faces a Mustangs team fighting to get back into the race in the West and can again play the role of spoiler for the Knights.
The Knights are hoping to get another strong outing from senior running back Latavius Murray, who has run for five touchdowns the past two weeks.
That will be a challenge, though, opposite a SMU defense that has the top-ranked rushing defense in the conference.

The Simple Miracles of Islam
DR.PASHA | September 17, 2006 | Section: Articles | 1215 reads
DR.PASHA | September 17, 2006 | Section: Articles | 1215 reads
Dr. Pasha
While none of us has seen or can ever see any of the great supernatural miracles of the past — for example the parting of the sea by Prophet Moses, the splitting of the moon by Prophet Muhammad or the raising of the dead by Prophet Jesus, may God bless them all — there is one miracle that all of us can and do see, touch and feel in our own time, regardless of where we may be living or what we may be doing.
We can see it in what is called real time — even as that miracle unfolds in our own time and place, right in front of our own eyes, and right in our own hands.
And that miracle is the Qur'an. And everything associated with the Qur'an — all of which is also a miracle. Just as every passage from the Qur'an is a miracle all by itself.
That is why the Qur'an refers to its passages as Aayaat — signs or miracles — each in its own individual right. Mind you, it is the Qur'an itself using that expression to refer to its passages and not some well-intentioned outside agency.
Aayaat of course is plural for Aayah!
It is that same miracle-word that some of our rather careless translators, blindly following Biblical traditions, tend to call "verses." And the whole English-speaking Muslim Ummat equally blindly follows them in this rather naïve "versification" of the divine signs and miracles (Aayats) of Allah in the Qur'an.
Otherwise, an Aayah means a sign or a miracle — or a marker. That is what it has always meant and that is what it will always mean. In any language.
That is why the Qur'an is not just one single miracle, but rather a whole universe of miracles that lie scattered throughout the pages and passages of the Qur'an.
Here is a quick panorama of some of the miracles of the Qur'an — those in the Qur'an as well as those associated with the Qur'an. Only some and not all of them, mind you.
Here are some more miracles associated with the Qur'an:
Here are some more miracles of the Qur'an. Just keep on counting.
All over the world, Muslims know what Salaat is. Urdu and Farsi folks call it Namaaz. English speakers call it "prayers," an expression I have some trouble with. For, Salaat is more — much, much more — than prayer as the world understands and uses that expression.
Salaat — one unit of it — involves standing upright; it involves sitting with your knees folded under you; it involves prostrating in a fetal position; it involves bending, rising, bending deeper and rising again; it involves turning your head symmetrically 45°-90° degrees, first to your right and then to your left in the same way — and a few other things.
And every Muslim does it all, in every Salaat, in every part of the world. And Muslims have done it without stop, and without change, for the past 1400 years — since Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, taught them how to do it personally.
I don't think any non-Muslim speaker of the English tongue has any clue as to any of these things when he or she says the word "prayer." Therefore, Muslims do themselves and Islam — and the world — a great disservice when they continue to refer to this amazing divine institution of Salaah as prayer.
Persistently referring to Salaah as prayer may have the unfortunate effect of covering up from the eyes of the world the light of what God Almighty has revealed in his book for its guidance and what he sent down as a standing miracle and, therefore, an open and timeless invitation to all of humanity to come to Islam.
And the miracle of miracles is that this Salaat — I don't know how many people fully realize or appreciate this — is made in the Qur'an, practically every bit of it.
Isn't it miracle enough that this Qur'an comes down, hand-to-hand, and generation after generation, for 1400 years, the way Prophet Muhammad, Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam, himself taught and practiced it? And the way the Companions practiced and taught it to their Followers thereafter — right down to our times and us?

these colors are amazing! How long did it take to piece ALL those pieces?
Hi summerK it took me about 3 months to cut all the piece, I have a fantastic ruler called Strip Tube Ruller
Hi summerK as I was saying the Strip Tube Ruller is amazing it was a matter of choosing light and dark and sewing them together on both ends facing each other and then start cutting them. From 1 double strip I manage to cut 19 squares
You have inspired me, I have to make one! You did such a lovely job, color choices are perfect!

Think Contrarian Archive
Following the investing herd is one of the most costly decisions you can make. As Humphrey B. Neill says, "When everybody thinks alike, everyone is likely wrong." Hard evidence backs this up, too.
When the American Association of Individual Investors' (AAII) sentiment reading falls – meaning investors are skeptical about the market's direction – stocks tend to rally. In fact, when the reading drops to a certain level, stocks rally over a six-month period. And that's been true 100% of the time since 1987.

Overall Experience
New mattress and TV
September 26, 2016
My latest stay was great just as always, even better
though because my room had a new mattress and new TV. They were in the process of upgrading the mattress and the staff made sure I had a room with the new items.
This is one of the many reasons I always stay at
this hotel when in Springfield. The staff treat me like
a member of their family, always seem glad to see me
Wonderful place to stay.
September 24, 2016
I had an excellent stay here a d would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, safe and friendly place to stay in.
Comfortable and relaxing
September 23, 2016
Everything about our stay was excellent. We were tired after a long drive. The Scrambler next the the hotel served a delicious and very low cost breakfast which we also very much appreciated.

Candlewood wasn't our first choice but was what was available. This property was worthy of being a first choice. Very nice in all ways.

Former NFL wide receiver Braylon Edwards has plenty of time on his hands since he is currently without an employer, but the former All-Pro disputes claims that he used it to assault a photographer outside a Detroit nightclub.
According to TMZ, Edwards was named in a battery report after allegedly flipping a photographer upside down. The alleged victim reportedly took video of Edwards pushing someone outside the nightclub, and Edwards then allegedly got physical with the photographer when he refused to let Edwards see the video.
Following the release of the report, Edwards took to Twitter to dispute the claims against him.
If yall believe that trash you might need help lol. Suge Knight tho? I am strong but cmon! Get a life. Back to working out and enjoying life— Braylon Edwards (@OfficialBraylon) October 6, 2013
On Tuesday, Oct. 8, TMZ provided video of the incident:
Edwards mentioned rap mogul Suge Knight in his tweet, as TMZ reported that Edwards' alleged attack mirrored something that Knight became famous for.
In addition to Edwards' vehement denial, one of Edwards' representatives told TMZ that the photographer only filed the report to "take Braylon's money."
Edwards broke into the league with the Cleveland Browns in 2005 after being selected with the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft, and he truly broke out two years later to the tune of nearly 1,300 yards and 16 touchdowns, but he has been unable to reach that level since.
Since getting traded back in 2009, Edwards has played for the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. The Jets brought him back in July as insurance for their banged-up receiving corps, but he was released prior to the season.
The 30-year-old University of Michigan product has remained unsigned since then, and whether or not the allegations against Edwards are true, they probably don't bode well for his chances of catching on with another NFL team in the near future.

"Playing an Australian commoner called upon to teach an reluctant English King some life lessons for me was fascinating in itself. To have it embraced by American audiences and to be so honored by the HFPA only endorses how global this story has become. Seeing a small scale project play into an international arena makes this all the more worthwhile. I'm very proud to be a part of this film and thrilled for my colleagues who were also nominated in such illustrious company."

What would be some good use cases for ViewComponents? I think I say one on menu
Can I get the rest calls using Azure Resource Explorer for Azure Webjobs so that I can run it? I looked but I don't see the one I created. What I want to do is run WebJob from my Asp.Net MVC azure website periodically without having to go through https://portal.azure.com/
Nice tip. I tried this also in SSMS, but it doesn't work, have you tried it?
Great presentation, I look forward to using TagHelpers when I get a chance.
I was wondering if a good candidate for a built-in TagHelper would be for one emitting microdata. I want to add this to my MVC website but want to go about doing it in a smart way. One solution was to create a Microdata Metadata Provider (a solution by Rui Jarimba), but was wondering if a TagHelper might be a better solution.
What do you think?
It looks like you caught your mistake in the next video (part 32).
Also when I have <IsTrial>true</IsTrial> in the license.xml file and I run my app, I don't see the price on the about page unless I drag my mouse over the field (i.e. select it).
Hey Bob, Did you forget to add the code from Task 2 step 4? ("an override for OnWindowCreated in your App class, so we can catch the window's dispatcher")
You paste in step 3 at 10:36 in the video, but then proceed to step 5.
I downloaded the Labs (http://aka.ms/windows8campinabox) and got the code I needed, so I'm good to go.
I think what Navprabhat Singh is saying is that in your download code (http://media.ch9.ms/content/WinStoreAppDev_CS.zip) there is no Common\ListConverter.cs at all and the code in ItemDetailPage.xaml doesn't have <FlipView.Template> (see 8:11 in the video). I typed in the ListConverter.cs manually as I could see all the code on the video but not so for the ItemDetailPage.xaml file.
In your download there are folders of the application for chapters 3-5, 9 and 24. There is no CS_15 folder for the lesson in question ("Part 15: Implementing Type Converters"). I looked in the CS_24 folder hoping to find it there but ItemDetailPage.xaml has no reference to <FlipView.Template> and ListConverter.cs isn't there either.
I'm sure it's in the Lab download, I just didn't get around do downloading it (it seems large and was hoping to avoid getting it).
Anyway, thanks Bob for your great work.

And a 'Timer' to not overwork.
Thanks to www.flylady.com
This is two weeks trial.
Almost Great App Add the option to name the day of the week to the new routine list ie., give me the option in the week list to name it Sat and I could cross reference zone 3 on that list. Otherwise the routine and zone lists are great. Task list is a repeat of the zones change it to a shopping list with the ability to subtitle and the option to pull in the meal planner for the week so that I can make my grocery list easily without having to go back and forth. Get rid of the day plan totally useless add calendar.
God bless u Every developer needs to know their effort is really appreciated. U make our lives easy with these apps. Most of us can't afford the best apps but we try to donate when we can. Thanks to y'all who make the free apps as well. America Land of The Free. We are getting back to our roots. Remember the buy one get one free? Good ole days . Helping each other.well thanks goodbye for now
Almost perfect PLZZZZZZZZ fix; so we are able to re-arrange the order of our lists! Also make it so we can move a list into the categories part { example ( I made a weekly list; there ended up being things I only needed to do monthly, so I made a monthly check list in weekly) I want to just touch and hold on screen of categories and paste my monthly list! Plz make possible! Thanks :)
Calm down, the license is free. If you follow FlyLady, this is like having your control journal on your phone, which is awesome. At its core, it's basically a list making app, but with a lot of built in routines. I like it and I use it daily. The timer does not work. I'm not sure if it's my device or what, but I just use a different timer. Very customizable. If you're looking for a simple way to streamline your cleaning, this is the way to go. I would recommend you check out the full FlyLady site.
Great App for Routines This is a great app for recurring lists. It may not be a FlyLady-approved app, but it incorporates FlyLady principles &, as far as I can see, does not pretend to be affiliated. I was once (years ago) a FlyBaby, but have moved on by developing my own routines. This app allows me to do that. I love how you can reset an entire list. I use it for so much more than housework (travel prep, houseguest prep, etc). And, it links to the FlyLady website, which tells me the developer is not trying to take undue credit.
Hey Grace, how about some grace for others Star system says it is to rate the app. not the users. This app doesn't work well for me, but haven't given up on it yet. I need a cohesive plan. I know how to keep a well organized and clean home, but I need more time for goals and projects and thought this would streamline my process.
What's New
- Sharing of menu is added
- Fixed some issues (Storage Exception, Exception on upgrading, Crash on saving menu)
- Reordering mode now can be toggled

Shareholders urge Citigroup board to examine break-up
Trillium Asset Management, on behalf of the Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica and the Afscme Employees Pension Plan, which own $9m worth of Citigroup stock, on Wednesday submitted a proposal asking the US bank's board to consider a break-up of the giant financial institution.
Pointing out that Citigroup's shares have "consistently traded below book value since late 2008", the shareholders argued that the lender's own efforts to shrink since the financial crisis haven't yielded enough value for investors. The shares currently trade at 57% of book value.
The proposal calls for the appointment of a committee of independent directors to explore deals including "the separation of one or more of Citigroup's businesses". The New York-based company's progress towards "simplifying and de-risking" its business in the post-crisis era "has been slow and incomplete", the Benedictine Sisters and Afscme added.
The shareholders also cited the bank's failure of the Federal Reserve's Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review stress tests in March, after which regulators continued to bar it from returning significant capital to stockholders.

What's 23, rippled all over and doesn't allow much to come between him and his Calvins? It's the $3,000-an-hour model whose acres-of-skin poses in last fall's banned-in-Boston ad supplement for Kleinwear displayed enough beefcake to rate a Surgeon General's warning.
But as Schenkenberg's girlfriend, model Maureen Gallagher, 26, says, "Women have been looking at T&A so long, it's nice to see some abs and pecs for a change." In fact, before meeting him last year, she confides, "I'd been carrying around this picture of a guy's body for six months, which was really upsetting to my boyfriend at the time. The picture was of Marcus."
Schenkenberg, born to Dutch parents in Stockholm, takes the European view of skin: "No big deal at all. In Sweden they show sex scenes on TV, but they don't want to show violence. Here it's the opposite." Growing up tall (he's now 6'3") yet scrawny, he credits his high school basketball coach for starting him in weight training. By the time Schenkenberg arrived in Los Angeles in 1987 "to get some life experience and learn English," he was sufficiently hunky to be snapped by a photographer while roller skating along Venice Beach. A modeling contract soon followed.
For all his worldliness, Schenkenberg can be modest out of camera range. "I was embarrassed to show the [Calvin] pictures to my mom," he admits. "They are kind of wild and racy. But she just told me how happy and proud she and my dad were." True beauty, he adds, is "my girlfriend and Swedish summers."

This is for my sisters 40th bday. Looks Awesome!!!!!
Best Uses
It's our first birthday party for our child we just adopted and we wanted to make it very special. The quality of the sign is awesome, it's not flimsy at all perfect for directing our guests to the backyard/pool area where her party will be. The colors and theme of the signs turned out so well that I have a feeling our daughter will be hanging these in her bedroom after the party. Our daughter and her friends are nuts about peace signs so it fit the theme perfectly. It was a happy accident to stumble on your website and it's now saved to my favorites for future special events

Ten states have approved a constitutional right to hunt -- the first being Vermont in 1777. South Carolina should join that group with a "Yes" vote on constitutional Amendment 1 on Nov. 2. The amendment also would grant the same protected status to fishing.
A spokesman for a leading animal rights organization has described the amendment, also to be voted on in Tennessee and Arkansas, as "a solution in search of a problem."
Tell that to hunters in Michigan, where a hotly contested referendum ended dove hunting in 2005.
Hunting and fishing advocates in South Carolina believe that similar efforts could be possible here as the state becomes increasingly urban and residents lose touch with traditional outdoor pursuits.
Sen. Chip Campsen, R-Charleston, who sponsored the proposal, says it was crafted to give lawmakers and the state Department of Natural Resources the leeway to manage wildlife for its protection. The laws against trespass would not be abridged by its passage. DNR supports the amendment, which was endorsed with bipartisan support in the Legislature. Voters should approve it, too.
Voters should also approve Amendment 2 to "guarantee the right of an individual to vote by secret ballot for a designation, a selection, or an authorization for employee representation by a labor organization."
One obvious reason to vote "Yes" on Amendment 2: Prominent congressional Democrats and the Obama administration have been pushing legislation to eliminate secret ballots on union elections. Our state's voters should assert their opposition to that proposed violation of a basic individual right.
Another obvious reason: The presence of a largely union-free workforce in our state has been a valuable asset in attracting businesses -- and jobs. Organized-labor officials clearly believe depriving workers of the secret ballot on union affiliation tends to boost their ranks.
If that happens in South Carolina, it would undermine an advantage we have long enjoyed in the national and global competition for economic development. That would be a particularly foolish move during this stubborn downturn.
But regardless of political machinations or economic conditions, the most important reason to vote "Yes" on Amendment 2 is to protect workers from potential pressure over their choices for or against organized labor.
Eligible voters in South Carolina will vote on Nov. 2 by secret ballot in various political races -- and on constitutional questions like this one. That same right should extend to their decisions on union membership.
Voters should approve Amendment 3 "to increase from three to five percent in increments of one-half of one percent over four fiscal years the amount of state general fund revenue in the latest completed fiscal year required to be held in the General Reserve Fund."
Voters also should approve a related referendum question, Amendment 4, "to provide that monies from the Capital Reserve Fund first must be used, to the extent necessary, to fully replenish the applicable percentage amount in the General Reserve Fund."
Less formally known as "The Rainy Day Fund," the General Reserve Fund was created to help the state withstand inevitable fluctuations in tax and fee revenues. The need for that fund to be maintained at a higher rate has been painfully apparent during the current economic slump, with abrupt shortfalls forcing difficult budget cuts.
Amendments 3 and 4, if passed, would put South Carolina in a stronger position to weather such fiscal storms in the future, and would bolster the state's case for the highest bond rating, which saves millions in interests costs when the state borrows for capital and infrastructure projects.

Christmas Eve Mass For Chavez
Updated:Supporters of socialist leader Hugo Chavez held a Christmas Eve mass in Caracas as the president remained Cuba where he recently underwent his third surgery for pelvic cancer. Chavez allies want to avoid a public debate over the president's health because his cancer has been treated as a state secret. His treatment in communist Cuba has helped keep his condition under wraps, and the Venezuelan government has given only terse and cryptic statements about his post-operation recovery.

In Reply: We acknowledge that our study had limited ability to examine the risk of cardiovascular events associated with long-term use of ADHD medications. Yet our data suggest that most adult use of ADHD medications is relatively short-term. Among the approximately 50% of our study cohort who were new users at cohort entry, 75% had less than 8 months of use; 75% of the prevalent users had less than 15 months of use during follow-up. Nonetheless, some of the prevalent users may have taken ADHD medications for several years. In subgroup analyses, we did not find any evidence of elevated risk among the prevalent users.

Fashion Styles: 100 years in two minutes
Everything changes over time, including relationships, memories and, of course, fashion. Clothing trends constantly evolve. Sometimes it's difficult for us to realize just how much styles have changed over the years, and over our own lifetimes.
In the past, we've written about photographing styles and fashion of times gone by.
Website Mode.com has taken a long hard look in the mirror and presented fashion styles for women over the past century in a two-minute video! It is fascinating, and can be watched over and over.
The video has over 6 million views, so take a look!

The Grandma Hypothesis: Couldn't have done it without her!
In honor of Grandparents' Day, that we celebrated this past Sunday, September 13, here are some fond memories.
Those of us fortunate enough to grow up with grandparents understand how important they were (and are) in our lives. I grew up knowing my mother's parents and maternal great-grandmother; my paternal grandparents had died when I was quite young, although I do remember some holiday celebrations
My great-grandmother took care of my mother when she was little, so her parents (my grandparents) could work without worry. Today, this model is still common in many cultures around the world. Both parents are often working and grandmothers (and grandfathers) are helping to raise their grandchildren.
I remember my grandmother's visits very well, and saw my great-grandmother, quite elderly by that time, during the summer vacations. Grandma would arrive for visits laden with boxes and jars of wonderful delicacies that our mother didn't have time to prepare. When we were little, she kept us busy and happy with painting, making pasta necklaces and pasta artwork, trying to teach us how to sew dresses for our dolls. Her legendary attempts to teach me to crochet, unfortunately, fell on hands that just didn't catch on. Continue reading "The Grandma Hypothesis: Couldn't have done it without her!" »

Family Recipe: Grandmother's famous sweet potatoes
We recently asked for your favorite family recipes and the stories and photos behind them. Recipes are often handed down from generation to generation. They are a link to our past and provide a connection to the special people and events in our family's history.
We received so many great responses that we're excited to include the highlights in our MyHeritage Holiday Cookbook. It will soon be available for download on our blog, just in time for the holidays!
We wanted to showcase one of the many heartwarming family stories that we received over the past few weeks.
Irene Jeppsen from Afton, Wyoming sent in her grandmother's sweet potato dish. She chose to enter the recipe to honor her grandmother's memory and highlight the memories of her ancestors. Although she is unsure of the origins of the recipe, she believes it came from her grandmother.
This was the sweet potato recipe served by my grandmother Lera Clark Maughan (1889-1974). She was an excellent and creative cook. My mother Alice Maughan Neilson also made this Thanksgiving dish. It is a light version of the often calorie-choked sweet potatoes served at most holiday meals. Continue reading "Family Recipe: Grandmother's famous sweet potatoes" »
Childhood Homes: Fond memories
I remember the home that I grew up in with many fond memories. We moved into our suburban home, in Canada, when I was only 4 years old. We lived in the same house until after I left home for university.
I didn't realize that I still had an emotional attachment to that home, until I went back for a visit recently, with my own family.
On a recent visit, I took my family back to my old house. Some things had changed on the outside -- the garden wasn't as beautiful, the shutters were painted a different color, but above all, the house still looked the same.

Nostalgia: Sounds of technologies from the past
We recently wrote about smells that evoke nostalgic memories. Many claim that smell is the most powerful sense, as it brings up memories from the past. Sound is also powerful in that it helps us remember our childhood, and times gone by.
According to a recent article, Ryan Dube explains that for generations of early technology users, sounds of technologies from an earlier time can evoke powerful memories of childhood games, long nights of online chats, and new email messages.
Dube lists five top sounds from a time when technology was simpler and these sounds along with the technology that they accompanied was just being introduced into our daily lives.
1) The whir of the floppy drive:
Do you remember waiting as our computers tried hard to read data from floppy disks? We would wait patiently as the floppy driver whirred away and we hoped that our disks were not too damaged to be read. Continue reading "Nostalgia: Sounds of technologies from the past" »
Nostalgia: Smells of the past
Nostalgia is defined as sentimentality about the past, typically for a time or place remembered with happy personal associations.
The word nostalgia comes from a combination of two Greek words, νόστος (nóstos), meaning "homecoming," and ἄλγος (álgos), meaning "pain, ache."
It is attributed to a 17th-century medical student to describe anxieties displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away from home.
It can be brought on by many different associations. Memories can be stirred when looking at old photos of people and places, listening to a song that takes you back to when you first heard it, or tasting something familiar from your childhood.
Sensory expert Professor Barry Smith says that "Smell, more than any other sense, can evoke powerful, emotional memories. Whole scenes of people, places and things can be brought back to life by the hint of a long forgotten scent." Continue reading "Nostalgia: Smells of the past" »
Our Stories: Papa's Diary
Wouldn't it be exciting to read the diary of an ancestor who recorded his or her daily activities?
Matt Unger, a 40-ish software executive in New York, was handed his grandfather Harry Scheurman's 1924 diary, written when he was 29 and had been in the US for 11 years. Matt has transcribed each journal entry at his website http://papasdiary.blogspot.com. Scheurman had immigrated from Sniatyn, then in Austro-Hungary.
Matt's project received coverage in The New York Times.
As we hear more frequently these days, family history researchers are getting bitten by the genealogy bug at ever younger ages. Although Matt was given the pocket-sized diary for a fifth-grade family history project, it wasn't until Thanksgiving 2007 that he examined it closely and decided to transcribe it.
MyHeritage interviewed Matt via email and is happy to offer his comments on this wonderful and very personal project. Continue reading "Our Stories: Papa's Diary" »
Preserving family memories: Four sisters, 36 years of photos
What better way to capture your favorite family moments than with an annual photo?
That's what American photographer Nicholas Nixon has done since 1975 when he took a picture of his wife and her three sisters, beginning an annual tradition that lasted 36 years.
Each year, the Brown sisters – Heather, Mimi, Bebe and Laurie – all posed in the same order in for the photo.
Mimi, the youngest, was only 15 in the first picture, and the oldest, Bebe, was 61 in the last photo taken in 2010. Find the full photo collection here.
Photographs are an excellent way to bring family history to life over the years, and bring back precious memories. An annual photo documents your loved ones and becomes a timeless piece of history.
Don't forget that preserving those family memories online is important as a way to share those images with future generations. They are an important way to capture family history and to help in your family research.
Join our global campaign to preserve your family heritage and upload your photos today.
What do you think of this idea? Would you do it with your siblings or other members of your families?

Nostalgia: Old family photographs
A few years ago, my grandmother gave me a shoebox filled with some of her mother's heirlooms and photos. I looked through it briefly, but had then forgotten about it until last month.
My grandmother had told me stories about her childhood, but these photo discoveries really brought my family history to life. I finally got to put faces to those stories I had heard over the past few years, and to see my family heritage displayed in front of me.
I moved last month. Although moving can be stressful, I was in for a surprise when I discovered a box filled with family treasures at the back of a closet.
Last week I sat with my grandmother and together we looked through these family memories. As we viewed each photo and heirloom, she began to tell stories she hadn't mentioned before about the people and events in each picture. Continue reading "Nostalgia: Old family photographs" »

The Celtics hit their first-quarter mark of the season this week, and in brief summation, it's been an up-and-down 20 games.
Boston stands at 11-9, tied with the sliding Brooklyn Nets for fourth in the Atlantic Division and sixth in the Eastern Conference. The C's have yet to win more than three in a row or lose more than two straight.
They have played very well at times and like garbage at others. Sometimes the defense looks like it's rounding into 2007-2011-style form. Other times it looks like the pre-Kevin Garnett years.
The offense is better all-round than it was last season, but it still ranks in the middle of the pack in terms of points per game—97.3, good for 14th in the league.
There's such a long way to go between now and playoff time that to read too much into this team's current state seems borderline foolish. Last season through 20 games, the Celts were 10-10, just a game off this season's pace, and they wound up one win away from the NBA Finals.
By the same token, though, we can still get a decent gauge as to who is doing what the best and who is not despite the relatively small sample size we've seen thus far.
So with that, here are some team wide awards for the Boston Celtics through the first quarter of the 2012-13 season.
