Town Square
Downtown studies need public exposure
Original post made by Jeb Bing, editor of the Pleasanton Weekly, on Mar 12, 2010
The efforts coincide with a ray of economic light that more shoppers and diners are visiting downtown stores and restaurants after a post-Christmas lull that's been absolutely dreadful. Some merchants such as Thriving Ink are seeing more activity, with owner Brenda Dronkers re-opening the garden patio behind her Main Street store. Business is also good at Redcoats British Pub and Barone's Restaurant, both for regular diners and the two establishments' entertainment and dancing venues.
It's these successes that the PDA, with the help of the city-paid marketing program, hopes to replicate up and down Main Street.
For the city's part, it has contracted with Danville communications agency EMC Creative for some initial marketing research. EMC will define the marketing strategy that the PDA and downtown merchant group leaders Mike and Melanie Sadek of Murphy's Paw have put into place, which has included discount coupons and later evening hours, even on Saturdays.
Because it's a city-financed effort, EMC won't limit its strategic thinking to just the downtown, but will also include retail centers in other parts of Pleasanton. Stoneridge Shopping Center, which has its own marketing team, will continue on its own.
EMC's a good choice for the marketing job. Since its founding in 1980, it specializes in master-planned and urban/suburban communities in Northern California. Its professionals are now interviewing Realtors, commercial brokers, and other stakeholders, including building owners who need tenants.
When sales tax figures are announced for the fourth quarter of 2009 in a week or two, EMC also will analyze that data to see what sells the best downtown and, based on its survey work in other retail centers, what downtown Pleasanton could do to attract more shoppers. Questions asked at the crowded First Wednesday street parties in the summertime show many who participate in these events come for the fun but seldom or never to shop.
The PDA on its own has contracted with the second consulting agency to focus on making the downtown more of an entertainment destination. Although nighttime music and dancing have given North Main Street greater nighttime appeal, the PDA wants the nightlife extended and expanded.
With the $10-million Firehouse Arts Center scheduled to open in September, it's expected there will be several hundred theater-goers walking down Railroad Avenue, Main Street and the side streets after each evening performance. Already there have been inquiries from cafes and bars about opening on those streets to attract the post-theater crowds and the PDA wants to be ready.
It has hired Responsible Hospitality Institute (RHI) out of Santa Cruz to handle that initiative, with seminars scheduled later this month for a select group of individuals to focus on six areas: community, development, hospitality, entertainment, safety and research.
If you haven't already been asked to share your views with RHI on what downtown needs, you're not part of the study. RHI's problem right at the start is that it will undergo its study behind closed doors. It's likely that those being hand-picked for the mission also are those who think Pleasanton should have a "right to do business" ordinance similar to Livermore's, where nighttime entertainment can open anywhere in the downtown district with the same hours and noise-limit considerations as given to Barone's and Redcoats.
The PDA, with RHI's help, might win the approval of some on the Planning Commission and City Council for its long-wanted one-size-fits-all entertainment ordinance. But probably not without objections from those who live on First, Second and even Third streets--the Old Town community--who don't want more late night noise, traffic or parked cars than those they barely tolerate now with summertime concerts in the park in Lions Wayside Park.
One restaurant that offered late night entertainment closed its doors and an outdoor holiday skating rink was scuttled along the First Street corridor after these folks, who were never included in the planning stage, objected. If RHI and the PDA move forward with their scheduled private seminars and backroom deal-making, they'll likely have to do it all over again in public. Transparency is a buzz word in this town that doesn't like decisions made behind closed doors.

Maybe its just me, but wouldn't it be prudent for the building owners to first lower their lease rates to make our city (and their buildings) more attractive to entrepreneurs?
Why default to spending city money first?
Respectfully, this is 1.)nothing more than a marketing subsidy for building owners and 2.) because there are two studies being commissioned, one by PDA and one by the city, a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Seriously? Nightlife entertainment? Not much of a nightlife when you can't play music after 10pm without a year long debate with the City Council.
They could have hired me for much less and I would tell them that "night life" for the most part includes dancing, music and drinking - basically the 3 things that we just can't have downtown because someone might be bothered.
Its laughable that they hire a firm for this grand analysis.

Who OK'd the city to waste our tax money on this venture? I had hoped my tax money would have been used in a more appropriate way. I'm VERY disappointed in the leadership of Pleasanton! How can we as residents, make sure this doesn't happen again?

The downtown needs stringent standards regarding blight. Many of the buildings have visible signs of decay. Dry rot, peeling paint, dirty store fronts are the norm (Check out Thrive next to Round Table, or walk inside Round Table...what a mess).
I spent the weekend in Nevada City. The quality of its structures and the pride that their downtown association with respect to its appearance offers a stark contrast to run down P-town. Every building was freshly painted and the streets were spotless.
A downtown association should set high standards for the appearence of its buildings. Don't expect shoppers to flock to downtown Pleasanton when its storefronts are a mess (see Deans). Coming up with a marketing campaing really misses the point. If you build it and maintain it, they will come.

Cities run on taxes, and the more money businesses make, the more taxes they pay. Thus it is in the city's best interest to do what it can to improve business.
Is it worth the cost of hiring private consultants? Consultants usually remain in business because they know what they are doing and turn that knowledge into benefit for their clients.

It seems that the City Council, those up for re-election (Hosterman, Thorne, and Cook-Kallio), and the Chamber of Commerce have spent so much wasted effort trying to make housing developers happy that they have totally neglected the downtown area. Downtown Pleasanton is depressing and there is not much variety of things to do. We go to Livermore for the retaurants, pubs, and lively night life. Livermore is thriving. These studies are a last minute effort to use Pleasanton tax payer dollars to come up with a plan that should have been in place 2 years ago. What can we do about it? Let's vote in a new mayor and city council, McGovern for Mayor and Brown for Council.

Speaking as someone not yet old enough to go barhopping, the nightlife in Pleasanton is absolutely dismal! The only places generally open are Coldstone, the frozen yogurt places, and a few of the restaurants (not very entertaining if you've already eaten...)

50+ Dance/Nightclub ~ that is the type of place Pleasanton needs. My friends & I were regulars at ShBoom's when it was here in Pleasanton. We have tried it various times since they moved to San Ramon...it is just not the same. Since it was always packed when in Pleasanton, their reason for moving was never clear. The club that opened in their place is for the '20-30 yr old or so' group.
My friends are now into their 60's and STILL want to go dancing! While the Brewery, Hotel & Pub are ok, they too entice the 'youngsters'. The 50+ crowd are still feisty, full of fun and love to dance. We would love a venue with dancing (vary with Bands, DJ's & a Jukebox), a bar & appetizers ~ simple fare. Keep your overhead down. Someone hear our plea ~

Sure, we call them sweet peas, but most people don't think of peas as a sweet. Prior to making my sweet pea and ricotta cupcakes, I'd never had peas in a dessert. Although these pea cupcakes feel like they belong at the farmers' market in a stand next to the lady in faded jeans selling bib lettuce, these pea cupcakes are definitely a dessert. They are light and sweet (not treading into muffin territory) with a hint of basil and topped with honey panna cotta (yes, I frosted my cupcakes with panna cotta – more on that later). Despite your reservations, I encourage you to give peas a chance!
Sweet Pea Cupcake Recipe
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup food processed (until as smooth as possible) sweet peas (I used frozen and defrosted peas, but fresh peas would be even better.)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, basil, and salt.
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the peas, eggs, and ricotta cheese to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little bit at a time, mixing until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between 12 cupcake liners.
- Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
Honey Panna Cotta Frosting
Although the frosting looks like a glaze, it is actually honey panna cotta. The texture is jello-like and if you wanted to, you could actually peel it off. While I liked the frosting and it was a fun experiment, it wasn't the biggest hit with my tasters. If you don't want to make the panna cotta, the cupcakes would be just as good unfrosted or frosted with a honey cream cheese frosting.
If you'd like to try the panna cotta frosting, make a small batch of my honey panna cotta (divide the honey panna cotta recipe by four). Allow the panna cotta to cool just a little bit in the pot and then dunk the cupcakes into it.
Let the panna cotta harden on the cupcakes and then dunk again. Repeat until the "frosting" is a thickness that you are happy with.
This cupcake was inspired by a dish called "Jar of Peas" created by Cary McDowell of Winslow's Home for Slow Food's Feast in the Field. Although it doesn't look like much, the Jar of Peas was my favorite course of the seven course meal at the Feast. If given the opportunity, I could eat a jar a day. Thanks, Cary, for the cupcake inspiration!

Low-cost units tick boxes for first-home market.
When Labour leader David Shearer announced the party's housing policy at its annual conference in November it sounded almost too good to be true. It would provide 100,000 houses over 10 years at an average cost of less than $300,000. Two-thirds of them would be built in Auckland within five years. They would be "basic" - some of them would be apartments - but they would be heated and insulated to a high standard.
Prime Minister John Key scoffed at the suggestion that land could be found anywhere in Auckland for a price that would enable a home to be built and sold for under $300,000. The median price of houses in Auckland has reached $500,000. But the public were impressed, more than 70 per cent of a Herald-DigiPoll sample supported Labour's proposal.
Both leaders have returned from their summer holidays aware of the potency of the issue of rising house prices. It featured in both their "state of the nation" speeches. Mr Key called on councils to release more land for development and stop making developers wait up to 18 months for a resource consent.
If councils do not respond, he said, the Government would act. "We are very serious about resolving this issue."
Mr Shearer, while making the most of the party's "KiwiBuild" scheme, wisely reduced its aims somewhat. The only homes it could provide in Auckland for under $300,000 would be two-bedroom apartments or terraced houses, he said. Labour's standalone family homes were more likely to be up to $550,000.
It sounds like Labour has more of the latter in mind than the apartments and terraces. If so, the party should think again. The standalone family home with its lawn, driveway, garage, rotary clothesline and garden shed is still regarded as a New Zealand birthright but it exists these days more in fond imagination than in fact.
Many, perhaps most, home-owners are dispensing with the lawns and gardens, concreting them over for parking space for the two or three cars family members might own. Double garages are the norm, and families find more use for decks, patios and pools than grass and soil.
Growing children do not seem to miss the backyards of yesteryear, their preferred activities are on computer screens, digital devices, television or scooters and skateboards on the concrete outside.
Children in families that cannot afford today's big houses and pools and home entertainment, nevertheless share the modern preferences. They are unlikely to play games on a lawn, and their parents are unlikely to garden, if they had the space. They can afford scooters for the children, and some digital equipment, and supermarkets made gardens superfluous long ago.
So why not two-bedroom apartments and terraced housing? If Labour can provide these in Auckland for no more than $300,000, they could provide struggling young families with a perfectly ample first home.
Apartments and terraced housing for the less well-off might sound like the "projects" that for all their sensitive planning, rapidly became urban ghettos in big cities overseas. But those were rental accommodation, Labour is proposing only homes for sale. If all units in its proposed developments were owner-occupied there is every reason to expect the homes would be well maintained, retain their value and let the young mortgagors build equity.
Their Kiwi dream is the same as it has always been: a home of their own, a stake in a community, a place to raise children. Low-cost units can give them it all.

We had a wonderful time in Amsterdam thanks to Simon's warm welcome and knowledgeable suggestions. The room is full of character with everything from well stocked fridge to tea towels and corkscrew. We slept very well due to the quiet location yet had shops, restaurants and markets all within easy walking distance. The bicycles Simon includes with the rental were brilliant too - I'd happily live on this street.
I found my room very nice, a very good breakfast and quiet place, Simon was a very nice host and showed us a lot of things to do in Amsterdam, not was it expensive either. All in one very good :D to recommend
This is a lovely cosy place, very well situated for visiting all the attractions in the city. Simon is a very welcoming and helpful host and made us feel very much at home. Also, we found it well stocked with breakfast things. There is a great market just 5 minutes walk away and a very good selection of local restaurants.
we had a very nice time at simons appartment in amsterdam, .. it was located in a very nice part of the city - central - but not too central, .. it was decorated very nicely and with great taste, .. very well taken care of as well .. the breakfast options were quite something, as we already had cheeses, eggs, milk and oranges in the fridge - and the morning snack was something we really looked forward to every day ... also simon is a very nice guy who always seems to have some nice non-touristy ideas up his sleave .. thanks for having us!
we felt like home! cosy room in very good location.
everything easy to reach by foot or bike. also the tram station is just around the corner. the hosts are very friendly and helpful.
breakfast was also great.supermarkets and albert cuyp market around the corner.
perfect for your stay in amsterdam! we will definitely come again!
It was a perfect stay in this nice and cosy place. The room is lovely done up and had everything what we needed (for example even a hairdryer and toothpaste!). The offer with the bikes was great and we had a good time exploring Amsterdam by bike.
Big comfortable room. King sized bed. Friendly helpful host. Quiet central location. Easy bike ride to everything. Plenty of food for breakfast. Coffee maker etc. You can't do any better in Amsterdam.
Our stay in Amsterdam was great. The room was very "home like". We also had a great little breakfast with fresh dutch cheese and everything else you could ask for. You really feel comfortable there especially with hosts like simon and his wife.
Thanks for this very pleasant stay
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt bei Gisèle und Simon sehr genossen. Die beiden sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sehr zentral in der Innenstadt gelegen, schon zu Fuss waren viele interessante Stätten zu erreichen. Und trotzdem war es in der Nacht sehr ruhig, so dass wir gut schlafen konnten. Die Ausstattung war gut, ein komplettes Frühstück zuzubereiten fiel leicht, da alle erforderlichen Dinge wie Espressomaschine, Toaster, Wasser- und Eierkocher, Mikrowelle, Kühlschrank und entsprechendes Geschirr zur Verfügung standen. Auch um den Abwasch brauchten wir uns nicht zu kümmern. Insgesamt hat es uns dort sehr gut gefallen.

Game Of Thrones: looking back and ahead
Handout/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
As expected, the Game Of Thrones panel at Comic-Con this weekend was a big deal. And it was a chance to say goodbye to a couple of our favourite characters. Also a look-ahead to Season 5. So here are Gidget and Oberyn Martell alongside Jon Snow and Arya Stark and the Hound and Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister who, for me at least, is quickly becoming the Pacey Witter of this show. Full Story
Gidget & Jon Snow arriving together
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Rose Leslie and Kit Harington arrived at LAX together last night, presumably en route to San Diego for Comic-Con where, as Sarah noted the other day, the Game Of Thrones panel will be one of the major highlights. It's scheduled to happen tomorrow at 1:40pm. Full Story
The Queen and the Iron Throne
Handout/ Pool/ Getty
It's right there! Right there! Sit on it! She didn't. And maybe that's a smart move. Because nothing good, so far, has come from anyone sitting on the Iron Throne. Her Majesty visited the set of Game Of Thrones today in Belfast. Certain members from the cast were there too. Full Story
Jon Snow and Gidget were at the same party
Wenn, Karwai Tang/ Gareth Cattermole/ Getty
I don't think we've seen Rose Leslie's Gidget on Game Of Thrones for three episodes. (Yes I know it's not actually Gidget but I can't pronounce the real one.) This is too bad. Because she and Jon Snow are apart. And mad at each other. And that means there's been no sexual tension. Full Story
The Khaleesi, Gidget, and Jon Snow hang out
How happy are you to know that they hang out, like when they're not working, they just hang out on a Sunday in LA? Check out Emilia Clarke, Rose Leslie, and Kit Harington yesterday in LA. They're close. Rose and Kit used to date, and Rose and Emilia were seen earlier in the day making cute faces at each other, very tactile, over lunch. Full Story
Kit's tight white tee
PUNKD Images
Well this helps on a sluggish morning. Jon Snow arrived in Vancouver yesterday for reshoots on his film The Seventh Son. He looks really good in a tight white t-shirt. You wouldn't know from watching the show since he's always hidden underneath all those layers of crow. Kit's been spending a lot of time in Canada lately. Full Story
Brienne & Gidget out together
Wenn, Splash
Brienne of Tarth and Gidget from Game Of Thrones were both at the Groucho Club in London last night. It makes me happy. It makes me happy that they hang out when they're not in the North or fighting bears in the Seven Kingdoms. Spoiler alert, even though, you know, how can you not know by now. Full Story

So, WE all knew you WERE the Angel, while the rest of the village believed the wolves tried to eat JC.
You probably should've come out at some point and let the village know that wolves had IDed you. You were the only one, besides the wolves, who knew that YOU were the protected player that night. The village had no idea that the wolves had pegged the Angel, too.
This game was hilarious to watch unfold, and especially to not be able to make fun of you all! hahahahaha!
This was pretty much it.

In Florida-13, Republican Disarray Devolves into Republican Primary Disaster
Tonight, Kathleen Peters qualified for Florida's 13th congressional district, setting the stage for a divisive and costly Republican primary between Peters and David Jolly. "The Republican primary in Florida's 13th congressional district is an expensive and strategic nightmare for Republicans, as both David Jolly and Kathleen Peters will have to appeal to the farthest right-wing elements of their party," said David Bergstein of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Did Obama exempt Interpol from same legal constraints as American law-enforcement?
posted at 2:55 pm on December 23, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
During his presidency, Ronald Reagan granted the global police agency Interpol the status of diplomatic personnel in order to engage more constructively on international law enforcement. In Executive Order 12425, Reagan made two exceptions to that status. The first had to do with taxation, but the second was to make sure that Interpol had the same accountability for its actions as American law enforcement — namely, they had to produce records when demanded by courts and could not have immunity for their actions.
Barack Obama unexpectedly revoked those exceptions in a change to EO 12425 last month, as Threats Watch reports:
Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.
By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests. …
After initial review and discussions between the writers of this analysis, the context was spelled out plainly.
Through EO 12425, President Reagan extended to INTERPOL recognition as an "International Organization." In short, the privileges and immunities afforded foreign diplomats was extended to INTERPOL. Two sets of important privileges and immunities were withheld: Section 2© and the remaining sections cited (all of which deal with differing taxes).
And then comes December 17, 2009, and President Obama. The exemptions in EO 12425 were removed.
Section 2c of the United States International Organizations Immunities Act is the crucial piece.
Property and assets of international organizations, wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation. The archives of international organizations shall be inviolable. (Emphasis added.)
Inviolable archives means INTERPOL records are beyond US citizens' Freedom of Information Act requests and from American legal or investigative discovery ("unless such immunity be expressly waived.")
Property and assets being immune from search and confiscation means precisely that. Wherever they may be in the United States. This could conceivably include human assets – Americans arrested on our soil by INTERPOL officers.
Actually, that last argument overreaches. American law does not consider people as "assets." It does mean, though, that Interpol officers would have diplomatic immunity for any lawbreaking conducted in the US at a time when Interpol nations (like Italy) have attempted to try American intelligence agents for their work in the war on terror, a rather interesting double standard.
It also appears to mean that Americans who get arrested on the basis of Interpol work cannot get the type of documentation one normally would get in the discovery process, which is a remarkable reversal from Obama's declared efforts to gain "due process" for terrorists detained at Gitmo. Does the White House intend to treat Americans worse than the terrorists we've captured during wartime?
Andy McCarthy wonders the same thing:
Interpol's property and assets are no longer subject to search and confiscation, and its archives are now considered inviolable. This international police force (whose U.S. headquarters is in the Justice Department in Washington) will be unrestrained by the U.S. Constitution and American law while it operates in the United States and affects both Americans and American interests outside the United States.
Interpol works closely with international tribunals (such as the International Criminal Court — which the United States has refused to join because of its sovereignty surrendering provisions, though top Obama officials want us in it). It also works closely with foreign courts and law-enforcement authorities (such as those in Europe that are investigating former Bush administration officials for purported war crimes — i.e., for actions taken in America's defense).
Why would we elevate an international police force above American law? Why would we immunize an international police force from the limitations that constrain the FBI and other American law-enforcement agencies? Why is it suddenly necessary to have, within the Justice Department, a repository for stashing government files which, therefore, will be beyond the ability of Congress, American law-enforcement, the media, and the American people to scrutinize?
I seem to recall the Left getting hysterical over the Patriot Act extensions that Obama finally backed. This gives Interpol a much wider operational latitude than anything contemplated in the Patriot Act, and with no accountability at all.

We made sugar candy frames but they didn't harden. Does anyone know if you can use baking soda to stiffen the sugar? Will it be okay for the bees?
We made sugar candy frames but they didn't harden. Does anyone know if you can use baking soda to stiffen the sugar? Will it be okay for the bees?
I agree with BeeCurious. Temperure and time are VERY important making bee candy.
I would not use baking soda.
Im really not that serious
Scrape it off and continue to boil it the rest of the way. Don't start adding ingredients at random.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
If you can't get a thermometer, you can try to gauge it by dropping a little bit of your boiling syrup in cold water. All those sugar stages, soft ball, firm ball, soft crack, hard crack, etc, are named so to describe how they act when you drop some into cold water.
I appreciate all the answers. What I really need is whether or not baking soda would be harmful to the bees. I know the temps and candy stages, but I am wanting to do this differently as it sets quicker and would be perfect for using in 'rescue frames'. With the minimum amount of soda used, I am hoping there is no harmful effects but rather benefits by it. Afterall we humans consume it for upset stomach and for baking and other things and I know that sometimes "medications" for humans is the same for animals. As this is a natural product, I am in hopes there are no ill or long term effects to the bees. Any suggestions where to find this info????
I'm wondering how baking soda would stiffen your candy....
Pollen substitute will make it stiffen up pretty quick.
Buy the ticket, take the ride. -H.S. Thompson
People add ascorbic acid or vinegar to their sugar syrup to make it closer to the same ph of honey...
If you're interested in the bee's stomachs, I would avoid the baking soda.

There are two general categories of porphyria — acute, which mainly affects the nervous system, and cutaneous, which mainly affects the skin. Some types of porphyria have both nervous system symptoms and skin symptoms, and others have mainly one or the other.
Acute porphyrias include forms of the disease that typically cause nervous system symptoms, which appear quickly and can be life-threatening. Acute porphyria attacks are rare before puberty and after menopause in women. Symptoms may last one to two weeks and usually improve slowly after the attack.
Possible signs and symptoms of acute porphyria include:
Cutaneous porphyrias include forms of the disease that cause skin symptoms as a result of oversensitivity to sunlight, but these forms don't usually affect your nervous system. Attacks may last for several days. With some forms, signs and symptoms may start during infancy or childhood.
As a result of sun exposure, you may experience:
Many signs and symptoms of porphyria are similar to those of other, more common conditions. This can make it difficult to know if you're having an attack of porphyria. Any of the following symptoms should prompt you to seek immediate medical attention:

An Amazon-made smartphone may be made available to customers free of charge when it launches, according to a new report today. Jessica E. Lessin, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, cites anonymous sources familiar with the retailer's plans, and they say that Amazon wants to sell the smartphone free of charge whether or not it's sold with a carrier contract. It's not yet clear if a subscription to a service like Amazon Prime would be necessary to get the phone. The sources are apparently skeptical that Amazon will be able to pull off a free smartphone, considering the company would have to strike difficult deals with both manufacturers and carriers to make it happen.
Like the Kindle Fire, it's expected that an Amazon smartphone would run what's known as a "forked" version of Android. The device would use the open-source operating system without any of Google's own apps — including the Play store. This means any Amazon-made smartphone would have to compete directly with other Android devices, and it's said that part of the reason why the company has taken so long to get its phone to market is because many manufacturers have signed agreements to only produce Android products approved by Google.
Like the Kindle Fire, it's expected that an Amazon smartphone would run what's known as a "forked" version of Android.
God help us all if the day ever comes when Amazon is expected to start posting profits like other 20 year old businesses.
BezoS won't stop until he rules the world. Between him and Elon Musk I think the next few years are going to be really interesting with innovations and the way we currently do things.

The queen, Prospera, directs her daughter's coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honours femininity, renewal, rebirth, and balance -- marking the passage of these insights and values from one generation to the next.

Discussion in 'Chevy HHR Forum' started by TomsHHR, Feb 27, 2007.
TomsHHR has arrived, Also own 94 S-10 Extended cab 4x4
Hey Tom welcome, nice graphics on the HHR...sweet
Welcome Tom! Nice looking HHR and I can't believe your luck with 3 deer. Makes you wanna take it hunting with you to improve your luck!:tongue:
I have hit 3 deer myself in 3 different vehicles but you have definitely earned the title "The Deer Slayer" with your story!:biggrin:
It was 3 with the HHR, 3 with my 2000 Grand am and 2 with my S-10.
I hate them totals..:redface:
Holy Smokes! You could start your own Deerslayer show on the Speed channel!:tongue:
The HHR is a smooth riding peppy little car/suv/station wagon/van (depending on what the insurance and the dmv classifies it as). My 2.4 runs on 87 to premium, GM suggests premium, however most of the owners are having no problem with the regular unleaded. I like premium on trips to boost the gas mileage. I average 32.5 on the interstate at 65 mph. I use the unleaded in town and get 27.5 mpg.
I bought mine in oct of 2005, it was fun being 1 of 3 in town for a long time. The sunburst II Orange is more popular on the commercials, "Super Bowl Car wash", I thought that was kinda tacky, but there was a compitition and that one won.
There are some HHR forums and we have had some runs around the country.
It is fun watching all the people turning to get a double take at the HHR. There are a turbo version soon to come out and a Panel Van style you can now order along with a fall edition, spring edition and a classic they have come out with and the newest is a sun and fun package. The HHR did extremely well in sales for the first year. So you will see more of the retro 49 suburbans around.
Nice car/suv/station wagon/van!! I hope you put legal tags on all of those deer, I would hate to have to report you for poaching.
We've been thinking about selling the Cavalier and possibly getting a HHR, even though it gets awesome gas mileage. What type of mileage are you getting in your HHR?
I average 32.5 on the interstate at 65 mph. I use the unleaded in town and get 27.5 mpg.

text: On my way home I bumped into DEZ Bryant in his Bentley apparently he got a flat, he was rolling on a ugly *** ORANGE donut! He was at a red light in the middle lane and as soon as it turned green he gunned it cut off the guy next to him and turned on to 20 west... Just thought I'd share.. I tried to get a pic but this phone I have is really slow! NOT THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH FOOTBALL, just a DEZ sighting!

It looks 50/50 chance of 1st ballot, to me. Ultimately, yes. But 1st ballot winners are pretty rare. I mean, if Parcells wasn't elected 1st ballot--with his resume including taking 2 franchises to the SB, winning 2 of 3, and resuscitating 3 other franchises--then anything is possible regarding Strahan's 1st ballot chances.
yes.. no doudt Strahan is 1st ballot
Strahan has been a positive face for the NFL, holds the sack record for a single season, has a few Pro-Bowls under his belt and a Super Bowl. I think he'll be a first ballot. Parcells just rubbed folks the wrong way and for some reason, the voters for the Hall of Fame sometimes abuse their powers in order to make a point(ie. look at the current MLB voters).
Absolutely. Plus him being around alot on FOX, Live with Kelly, and other tv exposure is keeping him fresh in voters minds i believe.
Yeah, I think he's 1st ballot......a tremendous pass rusher, but (in my opinion) he was even better playing against the run. He really was a complete player, and when you factor the length of his career, and throw in the Super Bowl upset of the Patriots, I think that clinches it.
Also, from a leadership perspective, this was the guy who met Coughlin half-way.....and ballot voters will admire a player with that sort of character.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
One of the top DE's to ever play the game. He played at a high level for his whole career, even in his last few seasons. Dominant pass rusher AND run stopper. He definitely deserves to go in on the 1st try.
I'd give it about 60-65% chance of first ballot (though I personally believe he deserves such), and 100% chance he will make it in at some point...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Hes a shoe in for 1st ballot.. No chance in heck he dosen't go 1st ballot...

The last four I completed with machine and was pleased. They will be sturdier, last longer after washing. I cut 3" wide, don't press in haLf, sew binding on back, turn to front, mostly use zigzag stitch. TIME SAVER
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
The last four I completed with machine and was pleased. They will be sturdier, last longer after washing. I cut 3" wide, don't press in haLf, sew binding on back, turn to front, mostly use zigzag stitch. TIME SAVER
I always machine bind. I wouldn't quilt if I couldn't use my machine for the entire project. I love pressing the pedal and making it hum.
With very very rare exception I machine stitch my bindings. I do this for several reasons. I can put more stitches per inch than if I hand stitched. The tension on my machine is closer to perfect than when I hand stitch, it takes so much less time. My hands hurt less when I machine stitch.
I suggest you attach the binding ( use the width you would typically use) as you normally would stitching the binding to the top. Before stitching down the back , use the steam a seam 1/4 inch on a roll( fusible) , and press the back side of the binding , covering the stitch line a few threads over toward the center of the quilt. Once the binding is fused basted into place.. stitch on the right side of the quilt close or in the ditch of the binding seam. I use invisable thread on the top side.
This goes so quick and the results are very good. I have seen other that use glue to baste the binding in place prior to sewing , but I find the 1/4 inch fusible to be less messy, faster, and more consistant bond.
Give this a try on a table runner or something small.
Hemming is the way a lot of people bind quilts. A lot of our older quilters find it much easier to do due to eyesight issues. Simply leave your backing a couple of inches wider than your quilt. Fold it and bring it over to the front and stitch it down. You can use a decorative stitch if you'd like to. It would dress it up a bit. Good luck and get cracking.
Be the best that you can be at everything you do.

I sew all my bindings by hand sewing them on by hand. Much easier for me and I like the look. While I am sewing it on I am planning my next one.
Another Phyllis
This life is the only one you get - enjoy it before you lose it.
I machine stitch my bindings (almost always) using the methods already described.
A finished quilt can be enjoyed so do what method gets them done. Have you viewed Charismah's tutorial on quich machine binding with flange? It is a nice method too. I machine sew my bindings most of the time to the front and hand stitch to the back. If it is a quilt that will get heavy a pretty stitch along the machine sewn binding sounds great!
I always machine bind my quilts. I've sewn them to the front then SID onto the back. Or sew them to the back then decorative stitch them to the front. I am not much for hand sewing & my bindings have gotten pretty good over the years. My more recent ones definately look better than my earlier ones! Like most things I've learned about quilting, practice practice!
Thus far, I have machine bound all my quilts. I've heard about how much nicer the hand sewn ones look. But so far my quilts are going to people who will use them heavily and I'm not confident that the hand sewn binding will hold up. I like the look of the machine sewn binding and if you use a decorative stitch I think it would be quite pretty.

Located in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tijarana, the coast of the municipality is known for its beaches, very long and wide, golden sand and the famous and spectacular golf Maspalomas dunes and brackish water pond and the Oasis-palm (natural park). The northern end of the coast is instead stony, and the southern end is cliff.
Above the coast stretches a broad coastal plain (almost at sea level in the Campo Internacional de Maspalomas, somewhat higher in Playa del Ingles), fully urbanized, which is slowly rising to, furrowed by deep ravines, contact towards the central mountains of the island (another park). Tourism is the monoculture of the coastal zone, while as we ascend, we see cooler weather, a land more fertile and better farming.

Beautiful situated after a ruff road. Inconvinient with kitchens location in the house and no heating, very cold!
Not enough heating in the rest of the house. Woods for the fireplace was brought to us the last evening.
Nice poolarea!
Nachdem eine auf dem Anreiseplan vorgegebene Straße gesperrt war, wurde es für uns schwierig, die in den Bergen liegende Unterkunft im Dunkeln zu finden. Wir wurden per Telefon auf Englisch angeleitet und fanden dann doch noch das Ziel. Wir fragten uns aber, was wir ohne englische Sprachkenntnis gemacht hätten. Die Unterkunft war wie beschrieben. Man muss sich erst daran gewöhnen, dass Fenster in diesen im Sommer sehr heißen Landstrichen nicht üblich sind. Toll im Sommer, nicht unbedingt gemütlich an kühlen Wintertagen. Im Bad saß man direkt vor dem Waschtisch auf der Toilette und stand beim Waschen eingeklemmt zwischen Waschbecken und Klo. Diese Variante war für uns neu. Alles in allem war es sauber und wir genossen die Ruhe und die wunderbare Natur. Orangen direkt am Haus pflücken und zu Saft verarbeiten zu können, war toll. Das Baden im Pool im Februar ist nur was für ganz Abgehärtete. Wir waren sehr froh, auf Grund des guten Wetters jeden Morgen
draußen essen zu können. Da wir aus allem das Beste zu machen pflegen, gefiel uns der Urlaub. Für Mäkelexperten wäre es nichts.
Sehr schönes Haus für Selbstversorger Abseits und einsam gelegen unter Palmen und zwischen Orangenbäumen in einem Bergtal. Anfahrtbeschreibung hat uns richtig zum Haus geführt, obwohl zwischendurch Zeifel aufkamen. 2 Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für das Wichtigste im Ort St. Lucia (ca. 10 Minuten). Genügend Wasser einkaufen. Wanderweg nach Tunte in der Nähe. Fahrt nach Maspalomas 1 Stunde. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Fahrten im Inneren. Guter Platz zum Ausspannen, Faulenzen. DVD, Satellitenfernsehen, deutsche und englische Bücher und Resieführer vor Ort. Ausreichend Besteck, Geschirr und Töpfe.

Very nice Cotage, terass and garden. Well equipped. Good location. Clean and a lot of space. Also nice to pick fresh oranges for the breakfast juice in the garden.
Sleeping rooms uppstairs and the stairs are a little bit tricky ! One week was not enough.
Everything was okay, except for adress. In advertisment and in message from owners there are two diffirent adresses, and we couldn't find the house at first.
The owner (Antonio) was very pleasant and brought for us some fresh oranges and lemons :)
A sweet little house up in the hills on the island. The owners were lovely - they gave us wood for the fire which was fabulous on winter evenings. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a lovely holiday.
Our family spent one week during christmas at this beautiful place. We arrived late at night. The housekeeper met us at a nearby restaurant and showed us the way to the house and the facilities. The temperature in the saltwater pool was quite low but fortunately we had nice weather during the whole week and it was no mayor problem. The pool is shared by two houses, we were lucky to have it for ourselves since the other house was not occupied during our stay. There are generous facilities in the pool area including fridge, dishwasher, barbecue. The standard in the house is above average, it is well equipped with laundry, TV and so on, comfortable beds and very clean. The house i situated at the end of a road, surrounded by palm trees and cactus, very calm (despite the sound of the barking dogs in the village), far away from the mainstream tourist villages. The nearest supermarket is at Agaete, a 20-25 min ride on a VERY curvy road.
A pretty, cosy house in very peaceful and quiet surroundings. Lots of good walking paths in the vicinity. Beautiful mountain scenery. Modest food shops and restaurants in the village a couple of kilometres away. A perfect place if you are looking for peace and quiet and nature experiences.
Very nice house in a small beatiful village in a vally surounded by mountains. If you want to get away from alle the tourist resorts, this is the perfect place. Do visit Rock Nublo, but be aware that you have to do a lot of mountain driving :-)
The house, with it's own garden, a small garage and a sun terrace (with barbicue) is a gem. Getting in/out of the garage takes some learning but do-able in a small car. There is street parking about 150m away. The house is large, a very relaxing house with a vally view to the sea from from the terrace. It was a pleasure to stay there. It is on a hill so keeps you fit. There is a small supermarket (but very good) within walking distance. Unlike may proerties, this house has enough space for 6 without being cramped or using temporary beds - it has three good bedrooms, a TV lounge, a large sitting room and a reasonable kitchen - perhaps a bit cramped for 6 in the kitchen, but it works. I have given 4 stars, the only reason not to give five is the hill acces for a car.If you use a big car - then you would need to park 150m away. Conclusion:- It is a lovely house and garden, well worth the effort of climbing the hill, secluded, not overlooked, a real gem.

The nerd world is abuzz with news of the casting of Batman in the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel. Christian Bale -- for reasons I speculate involve the chafing of leather suits and constant laryngitis from the "I'm Batman" voice -- has decided to give up his mantle as the cloaked, DC superhero. In what is being affectionately called "Batman vs. Superman," the gloomy billionaire Bruce Wayne will be played by Ben Affleck.
Let's review Ben Affleck's film history. Acclaimed writer and director, Oscar nominee and winner for Best Screenplay with co-writer Matt Damon for "Good Will Hunting," brilliant portrayal of the fallen angel Bartleby in Kevin Smith's "Dogma," and the recent "Argo" blew people away.
Now let's review his history with superhero movies.
"Daredevil." A movie that has gone down in film history as one of the worst superhero movies ever made. A movie that Marvel has been energetically trying to scrub out of people's minds ever since it hit theaters.
I think to sum up the opinion of the general populous on this subject, I will refer to my good friend and renowned expert on negativity, Grumpy Cat.

Ben Affleck cast as new Batman... Weirdly enough, not as a joke

CRM, FFIV, SPLK, QLIK Benefit as Cloud Accelerates, Says Pac Crest
Pacific Crest's software analyst Brent Bracelin today advises us that we're entering the "click to commute" era, in which a shift from client/server computing to cloud computing is picking up speed.
Based on feedback from 16 companies at a Pac Crest IT conference last week, writes Bracelin, the enterprise IT market has seen "the rise of shadow IT, where business users are directly consuming cloud resources and bypassing traditional internal IT," and "there has been a noticeable change in acceptance of cloud/SaaS at the Fortune 1000 in the last six months."
Companies such Salesforce.com (CRM), SciQuest (SQI), and AspenTech (AZPN) are set to benefit from application soft are holding up better than infrastructure, writes Bracelin:
Through 2012, application software grew better than infrastructure software. Historically, in an economic slowdown, application software has been more adversely af- fected than infrastructure software. Salesforce.com, SciQuest, and AspenTech's Q4 strength provided further evidence of the resiliency of application software, and we believe that it is likely to continue through 2013.
Bracelin also likes shares of ExactTarget (ET) and Bazaarvoice (BV) as beneficiaries of chief market officers using the cloud to run their operations; he likes QlikView (QLIK) and Splunk (SPLK) as proponents of "big data"; and he likes InfoBlox (BLOX) and F5 Networks (FFIV) as the best way to play the more software-centric outlook for networking.
By contrast, Bracelin notes, "Cisco [Systems (CSCO)] transforming into a software company is like birthing democracy in the Middle East, it will take time."

PL boys lose 53-50
Veteran high school coaches have always stressed the importance of making free throws. Like Carlton Roels, who coached in Pequot Lakes in the 1950s, who said a team will win close games if they shoot at least 70 percent from the free-throw line.
That statement was true on Friday, Nov. 30, as Pequot Lakes lost to the visiting Deer River Warriors 53-50 in the non-conference season opener after the Patriots made a dismal four of 22 free throws.
Pequot Lakes' Jordan Redmond led all scorers with 27 points, but he made just three of 16 free throws.
"I thought we played pretty well, but we didn't shoot well," said Pequot Lakes coach Garry Grewe. "We don't have much varsity experience. But I think we will get there."
Another big difference was Deer River making seven three-point shots out of 20 attempts while the Patriots did not have a successful three-point basket in 13 tries.
Pequot Lakes' Travis Jacobson scored the first six points of the game for a 6-2 lead. The Warriors rallied for a 25-20 lead at the half. Deer River extended the lead to 32-23 in the opening minutes of the second half. The Patriots did eventually cut the deficit to 38-35, and then assumed a 42-40 lead after a driving layup by Redmond.
Pequot Lakes later led 44-24 before Henry Hellman nailed a three-point basket and had a steal for a layup to give Deer River the lead for good. Aaron Drotts made a three-point shot to make it 52-46 before the Patriots would miss six straight free throws in the final two minutes.
The Patriots enjoyed a 43-34 edge in rebounds, including 12 by Jacobson and 10 by Redmond. The Patriots travel to Wadena-Deer Creek on Friday, Dec. 7.
Deer River 25 28 — 53
Pequot Lakes 20 30 — 50
Aaron Drotts 9, Henry Hellmann 20, Tristan Peck 3, Kole Schultz 4, Seth Fairbanks 2, Jace Swanson 2, Noah Kaczor 13, Devin Bowstring. FT 10-17 (59 percent). FG 18-49 (37 percent)
Brett Peterson 2, Jordan Redmond 27, Tyler Tappe 8, Travis Jacobson 13. FT 4-22 (18 percent). FG 23-71 (32 percent)

I?m getting low on cash so another $60 for the videos is a bit much right now. I?ve bought the AGI video, a few mag?s, the tool, DSA butt stock, Tapco cover w/stripper feed and will have to get a hammer spring to make it work. I?m also looking for a nice handguard set. I?ve blown way too much in the last eight weeks, lets see, I?ve bought the FAL rifle, a Saiga .308 rifle, a Saiga .410 shotgun, a Nagant M-44, an M-1 Garand and the Springfield XD.40. Oh, and tomorrow night I?m picking up a hundred-year-old pump shotgun from my local gun guy. (Only $100) That?s over $2,225 in eight weeks, damn! The only other thing I need to buy is another AK receiver, but I haven?t figured out from whom yet. I?ve got to stop buying and plan on how to make money and not how to spend it. Things are going to get real tight around here so I must grit my teeth and stop looking at Shotgun News all the time.
By the way, that DSA stock is damn nice, it makes it easier to get your eye low enough to get a good sight picture, I really had to scrunch down with the original stock.

24,000 BTU Energy Star Single Zone Art Cool Mirror Mini-Split
Description & Highlights
LG 24000 BTU Energy Star Single Zone Art Cool Mirror Mini-Split - Mirror
Taking mini-split air system technology to the next level, the LG 24000 BTU Energy Star Single Zone Art Cool Mirror Mini-Split (LA240HSV) is fully-loaded with features -- many of which you simply won't find in other systems. The outdoor compressor unit features variable-speed inverter technology that actively adjusts to the needs of the air system. It achieves efficiency ratings that are among the best -- with a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 20 -- by using a twin-compressor system consisting of a larger compressor that helps the system reach a desired temperature while the smaller compressor helps maintain that temperature. As result, the unit adapts to draw only as much energy as it needs, ultimately saving you money by greatly reducing energy consumption rates. This model's compressor also features a heat pump, making the air system capable of providing sufficient heat with 27,600 BTU heating power in addition to the 22,000 BTU cooling power. The dehumidifying mode also senses and controls the humidity levels in the room by automatically shutting the system off before a room becomes too cold.
As part of a two-component system, the indoor air controller comes in an ultra-sleek black mirror finish that looks great in any environment, and comes jam-packed with convenience features. The Plasma Air Purifying System uses four (4) stages of air filtration and an electronically-driven air purifier to create much cleaner and healthier air that's devoid of contaminants big and small. The mini-split air system gives you the option to choose from seven (7) different fan speeds, but perhaps one of the most unique features, the Chaos Mode, automatically adjusts the air louvers in a seemingly random fashion to supply airflow that is comfortably natural, much like what you'd find on a perfectly cool, breezy spring day. And when you're in need of air in a hurry, the Jet Cool and Jet Heat modes operate at the highest possible speed for a preset amount of time to rapidly reduce or raise the room temperature. To maximize ease-of-use, LG has included a full-function LCD remote control that allows you to operate every function of your mini-split air system from wherever is convenient for you. Some of the other useful features for this LG mini-split include an auto sleep mode, 24-hour timer, auto restart, and self-cleaning indoor coil. Make the LG 9000 BTU Energy Star Single Zone Art Cool Mirror Mini-Split your first choice for its completely automated operation, increased air conditioning effectiveness, exceptional efficiency, and a striking, contemporary design with a purpose.
Chaos Wind Feature:A unique mode that automatically adjusts airflow to create an indoor environment with pleasant and natural air currents similar to those you'd experience outdoors
Variable-Speed Compressor with Inverter Technology:Energy Star rated, this mini-split uses a variable-speed outdoor compressor for unmatched efficiency
Wireless LCD Remote Control:Comes with a full-feature remote control with an LCD screen that displays all operation-related information
Note: All LG mini-split air systems should be installed by a professional HVAC technician. You can find a local contractor trained in LG Duct-Free Split systems by visiting www.lghomeair.com.

Missing Cheyenne 2-year-old found safe.
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - The two-year-old, Angeleana Tyler, who was reported missing out of Cheyenne Wyoming is found.
Cheyenne Police posted on Facebook that the girl and mother were found in a Cheyenne home.
Cheyenne, Wyo. police were looking for a woman who allegedly kidnapped her daughter on Tuesday and who may be traveling through Colorado.
Misty Stricker, a 34 year-old white woman from Cheyenne, does not have custody of her two year old daughter, Angeleana Tyler, according to Cheyenne Police. Stricker was granted visitation with her daughter when she allegedly kidnapped her around noon Tuesday. Police say she left the area on foot.
Police believed Stricker may have been en-route to California or Mexico, which sparked the Amber-Alert in Colorado.

1. "San Ramon...had the lowest local rate, 3.1 percent. Alamo...(had a) 2.8 percent unemployment (rate) in July." Which is lowest?
2. Alamo had 200 unemployed out of their 7800 workforce. 200 / 7800 = 2.5%, not 2.8%. None of the rates given add up, what's up with that?
