Unemployment in Levy County fell to 10.2 percent in April from 10.5 percent in March, according to a report released Friday by the state Agency for Workforce Innovation.
That means 1,770 people out of a total labor force of 17,338 were out of work.
TALLAHASSEE - Governor Charlie Crist Friday announced the appointment of Marsha Drew to serve on the Levy County Board of Commissioners. Drew will fill the vacancy created by the suspension of William Samuel Yearty and will serve during his suspension.
The seat vacated by Tony Parker, who was suspended at the same time as Yearty, remains vacant.
In addition, Crist appointed Cameron Asbell to the Levy County School Board. Asbell replaces Billy Morrison, who resigned after he was arrested in Gainesville.
The Cedar Fire Department responded to a sixty-five-year-old man's cries for help off shore about 1:00 a.m. last Thursday morning.
"We searched for an hour. We finally spotted him. He was paddling off the Big Dock. He was able to come to shore on his own power," said Fire Chief Robert Robinson.
Robert Bullis and his dog arrived safely on shore. He declined medical treatment. "He was exhausted. I think the dog was happier to see the ground than he was," Robinson said.

With about 40 years of gardening experience I should have most things figured out in the gardens.

There are no historical or cultural artifacts or endangered species at the proposed site of the Tri-County Hospital project and that has hospital CEO Frank Schupp happy.
Schupp, who has been working on the project for more than a year was in a brighter mood than ever on Monday when he discussed the progress of the hospital.
Work has been going on at the site to meet state regulations on locating and saving any artifacts and to certify no threatened or endangered species were at the site.
Twenty-one veteran teachers across Levy County received letters last week notifying them that their annual contracts would not be renewed for the upcoming 2009-2010 school year.
The 21 educators, each with at least 30 years of teaching experience, were either part of the extended DROP (Deferred Retirement Option Plan) program or retired and then rehired back on annual contract.
"Those teachers were paid at the top of the pay scale based upon their years of experience," said Candace Dean, Director of Personnel for Levy County School District.
Marco Rubio is not sure which office he will be running for in 2010, but whatever statewide opportunity comes available, he is ready.
Rubio, who has formed an exploratory committee, addressed the Levy County Republican Executive Committee's Lincoln Reagan Memorial Dinner on Friday, March 27.
Rubio's choice of which office to seek is complicated by the retirement of U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez. The Republican has announced he will not seek re-election next year and the iffyness of Gov. Charlie Crist's plans to seek the office.
Photographic artist Bob Senesac will return to the Old Florida Celebration of the Arts for the second time to display one of a kind monoprint images. "All my images started as photographs," he said.
His work is the result of more than four decades of creativity. He started out in the dark room developing film and printing images but now employs a combination of technology and good old fashioned elbow grease to produce his art.
The Cedar Key Lions Club thanked the town for 40 years of support with an Ice Cream Social on March 24th. From 4 to 7 p.m. the Cedar Key Community Center rocked and partied to the music of the Cedar Key's Dock Street Band while residents of all ages, from babies to great grandparents, enjoyed eating ice cream and cake, dancing, and receiving birthday party balloons as well as a free Cedar tree seedling as part of the Lions' "Put the Cedar Back in Cedar Key" initiative.

|PA3-105 detects N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor type 2B.
PA3-105 has been used successfully in Western blot, ELISA, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry procedures. In Western blot analysis of rat brain synaptic membranes this antibody detects a ~180 kDa protein representing NMDA receptor type 2B.
The PA3-105 immunogen is a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues (C) G(1328) R F M D G S P Y(p) H(1337) of rat NMDA receptor 2B.
|General Information
|N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that have a high permeability to calcium found in the central nervous system. The receptor consists of a number of distinct ligand binding domains, and the presence of both glutamate and glycine are required for full activation of the channel. Within the channel there is also a binding site for magnesium, which, when occupied, propagates a voltage-dependent channel block. Other binding sites are also found in the receptor, including a zinc-binding site and an inter-channel site that binds specific channel blockers such as phencyclidine (PCP) and related compounds. The NMDA receptor has been demonstrated to play an essential role in long-term potentiation (LTP), a phenomenon that has been implicated to be the basis for learning and memory. The influx of calcium as a result of channel activation is thought to be responsible for neuronal plasticity and glutamate neurotoxicity.
A number of different NMDA receptor subunits have been cloned that may possess different functional and localization properties. The NMDA-R1 subunit (NR1) is expressed throughout the brain, while the NMDA-R2 subunits (NR2A, NR2B, NR2C, and NR2D) have a more specific localization pattern. The NMDA receptor subunits differ also in glycine sensitivity, the relative strength of the magnesium channel block, and their respective agonist-dependent deactivation time. Differential splicing of three distinct exons of NR1 generates eight NR1 splice variants. These exons encode a 21 amino acid N-terminal domain (N1) and two 21 amino acid C-terminal domains (C1 and C2, respectively). Splicing out the C2 cassette eliminates a stop codon, generating a new 22 amino acid C-terminal domain (C2'). These splice variants have differing patterns of expression.

Have You Heard About... Rock & Roll Generation
… flat tops, DAs and "a little dab will do ya"? Rock & Roll Generation: Teen Life in the 50s by Time Life Books is a look at the teen fads of the 1950s.The book starts out with a general look at the 1950s – the end of WWII, the political scene – and then goes on to describe all of the fabulous things that happened to teens in the 50s.
We were the first teens to hold down great-paying jobs, and we had money to burn. We were no longer were content to "follow the rules" of the previous generations. Everything seemed to change – how we dressed, how we ate and what we listened to. Each generation since then has always thought they were the first to rebel or be different. If you remember the 50s, you were there when rock and roll started. You're an original! Elvis, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley & the Comets, Frankie & Fabian. Remember rushing home from school to watch American Bandstand with Dick Clark? Ok, so just about every generation had Bandstand in their life, but we were the first.
Guys wore their hair either as a crew cut (flat tops) or ducktail (DAs), and Brylcreem was the dab that was just greasy enough to keep everything in place. Chinos and penny loafers for guys were in. Girls wore scuffed saddle shoes with white bobby socks and poodle skirts, charm bracelets and pullover sweaters with an initial pin. Flips and high ponytails were the hairstyles. In the 1950s, a vinyl record album cost $1.98. A good record player cost about $40.00. James Dean and Natalie Wood in Rebel without a Cause, and Gidget with Sandra Dee and James Darren were at the movies. Mad magazine was brand new, and no matter where you lived you "scooped the loop" on a Friday night.
This book will bring back a lot of memories if you were a teen in the fabulous 50s. If you aren't quite that old, you will see how things have changed over the years.

Have You Heard About... Paper Valentine
…Brenna Yovanoff's fantastic new spine-tingler? First of all, I love Brenna Yovanoff's writing. Her first two books, The Replacement and The Space Between, are wonderfully creepy and beautifully sad. Yovanoff writes about teens, but not the way we adults think about teenagers. We think of adolescence as a time of irresponsibility and freedom, but from the perspective of a teen, it's a time of insecurity, a loss of innocence, and a deep fear of the unknown. Yovanoff captures that sadness like no other writer.
Paper Valentine is Yovanoff's most poignant work to date. It follows Hannah and her best friend Lillian during a brutally hot summer when a serial killer is striking at the heart of their sleepy town. The complication? Lillian has been dead for six months.
The beauty of Yovanoff's writing is that as a reader, you hardly notice that Lillian is a ghost. The dialogue is so strikingly honest, I became absorbed in the unique relationship that Hannah and Lillian share. Her characters use the language we really use, and feel emotions that we really feel. Most writers avoid feelings of ambivalence and confusion, but Yovanoff embraces them.
I highly recommend Paper Valentine to teens and adults who are interested in breaking into young adult fiction.

Have You Heard About... Leah's Choice
… the people who are Old Order Amish and Mennonite? Leah Yoder longs to get married and raise a large family. Her Amish roots stress family and community helping each other, something Leah has rarely questioned. Leah's Choice*, by Emma Miller, finds Leah attending a community lecture given by Mennonite Daniel Brown. Daniel is a missionary and also a nurse. He spreads the word of God while he administers to people in faraway places. Daniel is taken by Leah's loveliness and wants to get to know her better. Leah is immediately smitten with the way he talks and looks. She knows it is forbidden to mingle with someone who isn't Amish, but she has not yet been baptized and brought into the church. What she thinks is secretive on her part - seeing Daniel unchaperoned - really isn't. Her sisters see love in her eyes. It's against each of their faiths to marry each other. Will these two ever find a common ground? It is a surprise as to how Daniel and Leah conquer all.
This is a quick and very satisfying read. This is book four in the "Hannah's Daughter's" series*. While it is not necessary to read the previous books, you might want to give them a try to find out about some of Leah's other sisters.
* Earlier books in the series include Courting Ruth, Miriam's Heart and Anna's Gift.

Have You Heard About... The Violinist's Thumb
… the information hidden within your cells? In The Violinist's Thumb and Other Lost Tales of Love, War, and Genius, as Written by Our Genetic Code, Sam Kean takes us through the history of mankind's understanding of genetics and heredity, from early beliefs through Mendel's pea plants to the Human Genome Project. Along the way, he touches on a wide variety of subjects, including the effects of the nuclear bombs on people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, differences (and similarities) between Neanderthals and humans, and the extent to which genes determine our destiny.
Mr. Kean is an engaging writer, introducing the reader to the personalities and quirks of the many scientists involved in the study of genes, chromosomes, and DNA. He also takes a difficult subject and makes it interesting and understandable to the average person, much as he did with The Disappearing Spoon and elements (previously reviewed). Mr. Kean adds a very personal note to the narrative by talking about the results of his own genetic test and his fears about the chance that he could be at a higher risk of developing Parkinson's Disease.
This well-written book provides an interesting account of the history of genetics, our current understanding of the field, and what scientists are looking at next. The author also looks at how our understanding of DNA affects everything from history and archaeology, to sociology and, of course, medicine.

Have You Heard About... Journey into Amazing Caves
… something being beautiful and scary that takes your breath away all at the same time? In the IMAX DVD Journey into Amazing Caves, you experience all of that and a lot more. In Greenland, you find these amazing cavers/scientists descending into the beautiful, but very dangerous, ice caves. The color of the blue/white ice is phenomenal as these people know that one wrong move and the ice above can come crashing down on them or the walls can suddenly close in on them as the ice is always moving. In this documentary, it was the deepest descent into an ice cave ever. Imagine a 100 mph blizzard, with extreme cold, worse than 50 below zero, in the middle of literally nowhere – that's where this was filmed.
Next, these cavers/scientists head for Mexico, the Amazon and the Yucatan. Did you know that some trees in the Amazon are poisonous – sorta like poison ivy only worse? If the dangers of the cold and ice weren't enough for you, then underwater cave diving, which is considered the most dangerous "sport" ever will send chills running down your spine. In underwater cave diving, when you use up 1/3 of your air tank, if you don't turn around immediately, you will die. You need 2/3 of your air to get back. If you lose sight of the guide line you will die. Again, the scenery is eerily fascinating and breathtaking at the same time. The last stop is the Grand Canyon. Imagine dangling over the Grand Canyon in 112 degree heat and rappelling down to a cave. If you dangle too long you can lose the circulation in your legs. While this is only a 40 minute film, it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Keep watching as the movie goes into "The Making of Journey into Amazing Caves." While the cavers/scientists are doing their thing, just imagine that the film crew had to go into the ice caves, underwater and above the Grand Canyon in a helicopter before them to set up all of the truly death-defying action you see on the screen. One wrong move on their part could put everyone in jeopardy. One person on the film crew almost lost his life when a cable line slipped. Think of all of the equipment that is used in filming and how it had to be utilized to get these wondrous shots. Sometimes a scene had to be filmed as many as 10, 20 or 30 times, so it would be just right, and each time could be more dangerous than the first. I might be a bit prejudiced but all of this amazing journey is set to the music of some of my friends, the most fantastic musical group ever, the Moody Blues.
This is a short but wonderful DVD that the entire family will enjoy seeing many times.

Have You Heard About... Bring on the Night
… the vampires who get "stuck" in the time period when they died? Bring on the Night* by Jeri Smith-Ready continues her adrenaline-filled series about Ciara Griffin and the rest of the staff and DJs at WVMP. Ciara becomes an agent for Control, battles zombies and a plague, and makes two of the hardest and most important decisions of her life – all to stay with the vampire she loves. If an obsessive-compulsive vampire can change, so can a con artist.
This series stands out among the modern fantasy crowd in the disadvantages of becoming a vampire. While they can live in normal society, their increasing obsessive-compulsive traits and difficulty adapting to changes beyond the time when they were alive leaves vampires very vulnerable. This helps add to the individuality of the characters and makes some great scenes of people using or trying to overcome these disadvantages. This is a fun series with a good twist.
* The first two books in this series are Wicked Game and Bad to the Bone.

Have You Heard About... 100 Greatest Baby Boomer Toys
… the coolest toys ever played with? 100 Greatest Baby Boomer Toys by Mark Rich is a delightful look at the toys that you remember from your childhood. Go down memory lane as you remember when you got a Barbie doll, Mr. Robot or a Hula Hoop (mine was pink). Remember Slinkies or Silly Putty? The Daniel Boone coonskin hats were "way cool" back in the day.
Were you part of the first generation to get any of these toys like I was, or did you receive them long after your parents or grandparents played with them? Most of what I played with, way back when, are now considered collector items. This book is sure to bring back long lost memories.

Have You Heard About... Kill Me Softly
… the people blessed (and cursed) by fairies? Kill Me Softly, by Sarah Cross, tells the story of Mirabelle, raised by her godmothers because her parents were killed when she was an infant. As her sixteenth birthday approaches, Mira becomes increasingly obsessed with her parents' death and the town where she was born. She plots to go there without her godmothers' knowledge, needing to find answers about her heritage. However, what she finds will endanger her life and change everything she thought she knew about herself and the world around her.
Ms Cross creates an intriguing world where some people catch the attention of fairies. They become fated to play out roles from various folktales — one girl lives with her stepmother, wondering when the woman will decide she is too beautiful and must be killed, a charming young man waits for the day when he will meet (and save) his princess, and the brothers with blue hair cannot be trusted by the women they love. The stories are varied, although they generally have European roots. More interesting is the question of how much free will an individual has to affect his or her personal version of a traditional role. The reader learns everything along with Mira, who is in more danger than her peers, due to her ignorance, but also has the opportunity to make her own fate.

Have You Heard About... The Magic of Belle Isle
… the power of imagination and the inspirations of life? The Magic of Belle Isle is a story about a once famous writer named Monte Wildhorn, played by Morgan Freeman. He's at an impasse in his life and in his writing, and he has taken to drinking. He's also a bit of a philosopher. When he moves to Belle Isle for the summer, he gets acquainted with his next door neighbor, Charlotte O'Neil, played by Virginia Madsen. Charlotte has three daughters, one of whom makes up stories to tell her sisters. Monte tries to teach the middle daughter about writing and the inspirations of life, and he finds that with her observations of him he can become the writer he once was. Monte writes a children's story for the youngest daughter, but Charlotte picks up on the fact that it is actually a love story of the two of them.
Monte and Charlotte have a very old-fashioned, courtly-mannered friendship that to me was very moving. Eventually, Monte stops drinking, and that's when the magic starts to happen. This movie is a comedy, and although it seems slow moving at times, it really isn't. It makes you think, and this is where the power of imagination and the believability of all things possible come in. It's a story that will have you crying and laughing at the same time.

Have You Heard About... Thunder Dog
… a man who was born premature and became blind after they put him in a sealed incubator and pumped in pure oxygen until his lungs matured? That was the procedure used in the 1940s for premature babies.
In Michael Hingson's memoir, Thunder Dog, you learn about his past and also about his guide dogs, particularly his guide dog Roselle. This story takes place on 9/11. Michael describes how he and Roselle survived such a horrible tragedy and how Roselle remained calm all the time even though people were screaming and panicking. Roselle guided Michael from the 78th floor through the stairs of the Word Trade Center with 12 floors above them already leaning to one side. You will learn about the strong bond between a blind person and a Seeing Eye dog. After reading this wonderful true story, people will have many different points of views and opinions of this story. Some people might focus on the blindness, others might focus more on the dog's braveness, and others maybe only will be focus in how the events of 9/11 played out.

- 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
- 1/2 pound sliced bacon, frozen 1 hour
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 to 8 thin slices extra-sharp Cheddar
- 4 hamburger buns or alternatives such as kaiser or brioche rolls
- Sliced tomato
- Soft-leaf lettuce leaves or baby arugula
- Special equipment: An instant-read thermometer
PreparationFor caramelized onions:
Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook onions with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, covered, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 15 to 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium-low, then add vinegar, scraping up the brown bits on bottom of the skillet, and cook, uncovered, stirring, until liquid evaporates, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl and keep warm, covered.
For burgers:
Prepare grill for indirect-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas; see grilling procedure ).
Meanwhile, cut frozen bacon crosswise into eight sections and distribute evenly in bowl of a food processor, then pulse until finely chopped.
In a large bowl, distribute bacon evenly over beef and drizzle mixture with Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
Combine mixture as gently and thoroughly as possible with your fingers (be careful not to overmix). Form into 4 patties, about 4 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.
Brush cut sides of buns with butter.
Oil grill rack, then sear patties directly over coals (or lit burner or burners), covered only if using a gas grill, moving to area of grill with no coals (or over shut-off burner) if flare-ups occur, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Move burgers to area with no coals (or over shut-off burner) and grill, covered, turning once, until they reach 155°F on instant-read thermometer, about 4 minutes total. Top with cheese to taste and heat, covered, until it melts and burgers register 160°F, about 1 minute. Transfer burgers to a clean platter.
Grill buns, buttered side down, until grill marks appear, about 1 minute.
Assemble burgers with buns and accompaniments, topping cheese with caramelized onions.
Cooks' notes:
Onions can be made 3 days ahead and chilled, covered. Rewarm.
Patties can be formed 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
If you plan on doubling the recipe, be aware that you will have to cook the burgers in batches.
If you are unable to cook outdoors, burgers can be cooked in a heated grill pan over medium to medium-low heat, covered the whole time, until they reach 160°F, about 1 minute.

Nevada court says Sands can keep documents secret
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The Nevada Supreme Court has sided with casino giant Las Vegas Sands on the question of whether the company has to hand over confidential documents to an executive suing for wrongful termination.
That executive, former Sands China chief Steven Jacobs, has said he needs to documents to make his case.
On Thursday, the court unanimously granted Sands' request to overturn a lower court on the matter. The justices said Jacobs' team had waited too long to make their request.
Jacobs was fired in July 2010, and filed a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal three months later in Clark County District Court in Las Vegas. He accuses the company of breach of contract and pushing him into illegal activity in Macau.
Las Vegas Sands filed a counterclaim, accusing Jacobs of extortion.

Before she was the girl who would be queen, Kate Middleton was an accessories buyer. Seriously! She worked as an assistant buyer for UK retailer Jigsaw for about a year, until she became a website designer and photographer for her family's party planning company — a job she's quitting as she eases into royal life.
Jigsaw is what the Brits call a high street brand, or what Americans call a fast fashion chain (think H&M, Topshop and the like). During her time there, Kate collaborated with jewelry designer Claudia Bradby on a necklace for Junior Jigsaw that is now being reissued. Claudia calls Kate "utterly charming and really rather impressive; focused, creative, thoughtful and kind," and says she "thought it would be a good idea to reissue it to celebrate their engagement."
We think the necklace's reissuing capitalizes on the engagement more than it celebrates it — and unlike Charlotte Todd, Claudia seems eager to cash in on the royal hullabaloo. Also, dare we say the necklace (which retails for about $72) looks like something straight out of the QVC engagement ring knockoff collection?
Take a look for yourself:

Rainy Friday in most parts of PHL-A A +A
Friday, July 4, 2014
FLASH floods and landslides threaten most parts of Luzon including Metro Manila due to heavy rains brought by low pressure area affecting the area, according to Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) on Friday.
Pagasa senior weather forecaster Rene Paciente said that as of 4 a.m. the LPA was spotted some 280 kilometers (km) east of Baler, Aurora (15.5ºN, 124.5ºE).
Paciente said the LPA has slim chance to intensify into tropical cyclone as it is expected to weaken into trough as it merges with a tropical storm outside the country's area of responsibility.
He said the tropical storm is expected to enter the country by Sunday afternoon and it will be locally named "Florita".
He added the tropical storm is expected to recurve towards Japan and will not directly affect the country but will enhance the southwest monsoon or "hanging habagat" that will bring rains in Luzon and Visayas starting Monday next week.
For Friday forecast, Paciente said parts of Luzon may expect moderate to sometimes heavy rain, due to the LPA off Aurora and to the southwest monsoon.
He said Metro Manila, the Regions of Ilocos, Cordillera, Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon will have moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms which may trigger flash floods and landslide.
He advised the public to continue monitoring and to take precautions against heavy rains, strong winds, lightning and possible flash floods.
He added the rest of Luzon and Mindanao will be cloudy with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms while Visayas will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.
Paciente said expect a rainy weekend due to weather disturbance and the approaching tropical storm.
In its advisory, Pagasa said moderate to strong winds coming from the southwest to west will prevail over Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough.
It added light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest will prevail over the rest of the country with slight to moderate seas. (PNA)

Something that I believe – Great Guide On How And When To Buy Real Estate
If you are new to real estate purchases, you may want to enlist the help of respectable professional real estate agents. These professionals will have access to resources that you don't. These include software that will allow you to efficiently search through MLS listings. These tools will make searching through MLS much easier and prevents you from missing anything. Working with your realtor to prepare the real estate purchase contract is a very important task. You must be certain that everything is clearly spelled out in terms of what items are to be left in the home and what actions the seller is responsible for. The more clearly the contract is written, the easier it will be for you when you go to closing; you don't want any unexpected surprises.
Adopting the right approach to the market is the key to a successful purchase. Learning about the real estate market that you are considering making a purchase in is an effective way of approaching your purchase as a well-informed consumer. The above article has given you a variety of ways to use this information in a positive way. Now you can go forward and make better decisions. Before moving and settling into your new home, the first thing you should do is purchase insurance. If you don't buy insurance right away, you may not be covered if something were to go wrong. And of course, Murphy's Law also seems to occur when you least expect it. Take time to measure a house you thinking about buying. You should always verify that the owner's listed square footage matches with information in public records. The two numbers should be within 100 square feet of each other; if they do not match, either reconsider buying the property, or figure out what is going on.
Figure out your home buying price range with a readily available online calculator. Online calculators ask for income, expenses and debt amounts before crunching those numbers. This provides you a good picture of what is affordable to you, and as such you won't overextend yourself. Go for your dream home. Investors are divided on whether or not now is a good time to sell your house and upgrade to a larger one, although some do favor the idea. At this time house prices are still low, so it may be the best time to buy your dream home.
After you have a home inspected, whether as the buyer or the seller, ask the other party to compare inspection results with you. Chances are very good that there will be disparities between the results of both inspections. Comparing results in this way ensures that both parties are aware of all potential problems with the home. Approach negotiations with great care. Many people get too aggressive so that they can get a great deal, and they end up overdoing it and losing it. You should be very adamant about the things you want, but you should let your lawyer negotiate for you.
If you have a specific neighborhood in mind, you should familiarize yourself with other houses in the area. This helps make sure you do not buy the largest, nicest home in the area. That's because all the less expensive homes in the area will lower the resale value of the few costlier ones, making it difficult for you to recoup your investment should you need to sell in the future. The Internet can be your best friend when house hunting, so remember to use the net to check out homes and neighborhoods. There is a lot of info available on the Internet. Do thorough research into any area in which you plan to purchase real estate. It is no fun to find out later that you have invested in dead-end real estate.
If you have intentions to buy a home, get a copy of your credit report. You need to review your report to make sure that there is nothing on it that can interfere with your loan approval. Errors in credit reports are quite common, and it is best to take of them early. There are a lot of safe ways to invest in the real estate market, but you need to be careful because there are even more ways that you could make a bad investment. In order to avoid losing money in the real estate market, it's imperative that you learn about the market. Check out these market-based tips and tactics that you can implement to always come out on the winning side of a deal.
When you rent your home, you can expect your housing costs to increase every year as rent is usually raised every time you renew your lease. Buying your home at a fixed interest rate, makes your monthly payment the same for 15 or 30 years which makes your financing more manageable.
You should factor in living costs before you make the decision to purchase a home. For example, a home in upstate New York will require more in heating costs than a home in Arizona. Alternatively, water will cost more in Arizona than in Mississippi. Decide what's most important to you, and factor it in. When you enter the arena of real estate purchasing, be wary of mortgages with balloon payments. Balloon payments are surprisingly large payments the mortgage owner is required to make at the end of the loan term. They are ethically doubtful, and they usually indicate that the loan provider is unscrupulous. When you identify balloon payments, stay away!

Talking Points Memo this morning pointed to this interview yesterday between Arizona conservative radio host and Secretary of State Ken Bennett. In the interview, Bennett said it would be "possible" that he keeps President Obama off the Arizona ballot in November unless he receives "confirmation" from the state of Hawaii that Barack Obama was born there.

kgb is probably the best, or one of the best FFA players in NA
but hes not unbeatable, just gotta tryhard and own the quad runs.
1) Visje
2) Yakumo
3) Trajan
4) Fatal1ty
these are gods in ffa. Others I don't know, because I haven't seen them playing. I may be wrong
PLAY MORE belka_ STYLE
A reason for me to get a Pro subscription, so I can host intense games like those and watch the best players live.
Compare this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rx4zY8sFHc
with that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZa4IbxdPMY
Conclusion: someone host a ffa cup, noob-bashing profile stats don't count
I dunno what he does in FFA, but I have never seen tendoukun do anything but tier slum in CA (and whine about his teammates sucking while doing it). Not sure I've ever seen Trajan on a T4 server in CA either, even though I have in T3, though from what I've seen from their actual playing Trajan seems like the better of the two.
Visje on the other hand I have seen rocking T4 servers a plenty.

trajan always quits the server as soon as someone with above 20% acc joins the game

of Minutes: The minutes of
Proxy votes: Bonnie Ann Dowd announced that Dan Sourbeer is holding a proxy for Sara Thompson, and Anne Voth is holding a proxy for Judy Cater.
Poll Request: Maria Miller presented a request that she received from over 10 percent of the faculty requesting that a poll be distributed to all contract faculty. The wording is as follows:
As a full-time contract member of the Palomar College Faculty, do you have confidence in the leadership style and management skills of President Sherrill Amador?
No, I do not have confidence in Dr. Amador as a leader.
Yes, I do have confidence in Dr. Amador as a leader.
She anticipated that the poll would be distributed later in the week. As requested in the petition, the two-envelope procedure used in the past will be utilized. The results of the poll will be announced at the first possible Faculty Senate meeting and at the first possible Governing Board meeting after its completion.
Bill Bedford asked whether adjunct faculty members could participate in such a poll. Chris Barkley indicated that they could be polled separately using the electronic ballot system we have in place.
Motion 1 MS Bedford, Sourbeer: The Faculty Senate directs the Senate Elections Committee to send out an electronic poll to adjunct faculty members asking if they have confidence in the leadership style and management skills of President Sherrill Amador.
Discussion followed on

Motion 4 MSC Dowd, Stanford: Faculty Senate approval of the 2003-04 Holiday Schedule.
There was some discussion on the placement of Spring Break. MaryAnn Drinan indicated that the PFF determined the date based on input from faculty members and the Senate regarding concern about Spring semester ending right around Memorial Day and Spring semester starting at the end of January. The proposed calendar is a compromise to move Spring Break to the middle of the semester in exchange for the semester beginning sooner. It also gives those faculty members teaching in June a little longer break between semesters. In response to another question about Spring Break, MaryAnn Drinan indicated that several schools and community colleges in the area were contacted and all had various placement of the holiday week. She added that a Calendar Committee is being formed and will take a look at all the aspects of the calendar for future proposals.
Coordinator Positions:
Motion 5 MSCU Dowd, Dolan:
The Faculty Senate is against the concept of combining the Professional
Development Coordinator position with the Academic Technology Coordinator position.
Development is an Academic and Professional matter as defined by AB1725
(Chapter 973, Statues of 1988) and (Title 5 of the California Code of
Regulations, Section 53200). And, professional
development policies at
As an A & P, matter policies for professional development falls under the purview of the Faculty Senate.
The Professional Development Coordinator position is funded as an 80% reassigned time faculty coordinator position in accordance with AB1725. This position is funded by General Fund budget to support self-designed activities, workshops, seminars, mini-conferences, innovative projects, teacher exchanges, study circles, training and retraining activities, orientations, video/teleconferences, and teaching resources. The duties of the Professional Development Coordinator include 14 specific items that were adopted and identified in BP167 and Procedure 167 by the Palomar College Governing Board, which relies primarily upon the Faculty Senate on A & P matters.
The Professional Development program emphasizes pedagogical and discipline specific peer support of teaching and faculty.
Professional Development program is unequalled throughout the nation and
The Academic Technology Coordinator was created as a result of the work of the
Technology Governance Committee in an attempt to support technology training for
Faculty including the creation of on-line distance learning classes. The position was created internally in a concerted effort to provide software training for faculty. Such training is an approved activity for faculty professional development.
The Academic Technology program has received recognition from the recent Accreditation Report and from the College Institutional Review process for the outstanding levels of services provided to faculty, staff, and administrators in the maintenance of the College Web Page, and the services provided to faculty and students in the development and expansion of on-line educational programs.
The Academic Technology Coordinator position has been partially funded from General Funds with the balance from technology grants for 80% full-time faculty reassignment to provide skills based training, which requires competencies in software and applications.
The Faculty Senate recognizes that issues such as reassigned time for each of these Coordinators are negotiable items that should be addressed in the negotiation process with PFF.
The Faculty Senate of Palomar College objects to the combining of these two faculty coordinator positions as the intent, responsibilities and required skills of each position, while complementary, vary significantly thus requiring two separate positions.
Closed Session Policy:
Motion 6 MSCU Versaci, Laughlin: That the following statement be read as part of the Faculty Senate report at the March 25, 2003, Governing Board meeting; that copies of this statement and supporting materials be given to all Governing Board members; and that a copy of this statement be delivered to Barbara Baldridge for insertion, verbatim, into the official minutes of that meeting:
The Office of the Attorney General of the State of
What the President and Governing Board often state is that closed sessions are necessary in order to discuss confidential personnel matters, and on this matter, the Attorney General has this to say: "The courts and this office have consistently maintained that the personnel exception must be used in connection with the consideration of a particular employee. The exemption is not available for across-the-board decisions or evaluations of employees, classifications, salary structures, etc. In Santa Clara Federation of Teachers v. Governing Board (1981), 116 Cal.App.3d 831, the court concluded that a board's consideration of a hearing officer's decision concerning teacher layoff policy must be conducted in open session" ("The Brown Act – Permissible Closed Sessions" sec. 2A).
Using the Attorney General's summary of case law as background, the Faculty Senate would like to inform the Governing Board that if any discussion concerning faculty layoffs and/or academic program reduction takes place in closed session, then the President and Governing Board members are probably in violation of the Brown Act, and they make themselves vulnerable to legal action. It should be noted that a "meeting," as defined in The Brown Act, does not necessitate that a vote be taken ("Open Meeting Laws in California: The Brown Act"). The Faculty Senate maintains the unequivocal position that all such discussion take place in open session.
In the interests of fairness and legality, the Faculty Senate hereby requests that members of the Governing Board familiarize themselves with the Brown Act and case law regarding closed sessions. The Faculty Senate also requests that while in closed session, members of the Governing Board object to topics of discussion that might be inappropriate for such sessions. Finally, the Faculty Senate wants members of the Governing Board to be aware that in cases where Governing Boards have been found to be in violation of The Brown Act, courts have forced districts "to make and preserve tapes of closed sessions…declare[d] actions taken null and void…[and] award[ed] costs and attorneys fees" ("What To Do If…").

Motion 7 MSC Spear, Levy: To suspend the Agenda and move the subject of the Academic Department Assistants to Action.
Motion 8 MSCU Spear, Bedford: As a matter of collegiality, fiscal sanity, and decency, and due to the potential negative impact on the educational program, the Faculty Senate urges the district not to lay off or otherwise reduce the number of Academic Department Assistants until such time as the total number of faculty, administrators, and classified staff taking advantage of any supplemental early retirement programs has been determined.

actions of the district in relation to giving 30-day notices to Academic
Department Assistants (
Chris Barkley added that this issue will be discussed at the Instructional Planning Council meeting this Wednesday, March 19th, and any suggestions for reduction in force would come from that group, and be forwarded to the Strategic Planning Council prior to their April 1st meeting.
Additional discussion occurred on a list of cost-saving possibilities distributed at a recent Chair/Directors meeting, which was presented as brainstorming ideas rather than actual cuts. Concern about rumor versus fact was expressed. Also, all agreed that significant cost cutting has already happened by not replacing faculty or hiring the approved positions. It was suggested that other areas in which cost savings could occur should be explored so that we are not crippling the support system needed to serve our students by reducing the number of classified staff.
Motion 9 MSC Dowd, Nebelsick-Tagg: To extend the meeting.
Curriculum: Following up on discussion which occurred at the Senate last week, Teresa Laughlin provided an update on the General Studies degree. The AA is being modified and the student has the option of selecting one emphasis from Arts and Humanities, Science and Mathematics, or Social and Behavioral Sciences. Only three units may double-count between the AA general education requirements and the selected emphasis. Also, students may receive only one General Studies major.
will be presented for Senate action on
Rally & Letter Writing
Campaign: Chris Barkley reported that many faculty, staff, and students attended the rally earlier in the day to oppose the proposed budget cuts. The letter writing campaign is underway, but more faculty members are needed to volunteer to send letters to local newspapers.
Joint Council Motion: Anne Voth read the following Motion from the members of the Joint Council:
Faculty Senate respects the role of the PFF to negotiate the specifics of
working conditions, but has a responsibility of its own to comment on all
issues relating to academic and professional matters.
will be presented for Senate action on
Other: Senators discussed the need for ongoing communications between faculty members who serve on the Planning Councils and the Senate. Those councils that do not have Senators as members should have a liaison appointed by the Senate to attend those meetings and provide reports.
Motion 10 MSC Voth, Dowd: Faculty Senate approval of the appointment of Judy Dolan to the Administrative Services Planning Council.
Governing Board: Chris Barkley reported that Dr. Amador's evaluation was presented to the Governing Board in closed session at the March 11th board meeting. In response to a question on the outcome of presenting these evaluations, Chris Barkley indicated that the board members stated that they do take the evaluation process seriously, but they did not indicate what, if any, action would be taken based on the results of the evaluations.
The Governing Board was also given a draft of the district's educational master plan by Mark Vernoy. He explained that this plan will guide the development of the combined educational and facilities master plan currently being prepared.
A summary of the accreditation team's exit report was also presented to the board by Dr. Amador, who were complimentary toward the team's analysis and report.
Other: Also briefly discussed was the Senate's request to Dr. Amador several months ago to provide the rationale used to make these decisions. She has yet to do so and the Senate renews its request that rationale be provided for all decisions.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at
Respectfully submitted,
Bonnie Ann Dowd, Secretary

I am considering doing a cake using the sports ball pan (the regular size). I was just wondering about the construction...it just stays up like that? How to you get it to stay on the board...I am just imagining it boucing off like a ball ha ha! Any tips appreciated!
the instructions say to trim off a bit, but I find some (most) cakes will settle slightly and flatten a bit on the bottom. I have always used it on top of a cake - sometimes I dowel, sometimes I don't.
I just put a dab of icing where I plan to put the cake, and I find it adheres very well that way.
okay thanks. Do you think I could use it without a cake underneath? How big is it? Do you think it could be covered in fondant...or too hard?
I have used this pan a couple of times. I sliced a little off of the bottom of one half before placing it on my board. I also placed a small amount of bc icing on the board to help hold it in place. I had no problems with it. Good luck to you.
I just used the sports ball pan for the first time (golf ball cake in my pictures). I just sliced off a bit on one of the halves to get a flat spot. I did cut out a little board to match the flat spot to put underneath it (used cut straws in bottom layer to support) and then I also put a dowel through the whole thing.
It would have been fine without the dowel except that we had to travel about 60 miles with it (and it didn't fall over!).
Hi merissa! I have made my sports ball pan and I just trimmed a little off the bottom to "flatten it" and it seems to be stable enough. But I would deff use a good dense sturdy cake recipe and it should turn out fine. Just don't munch on those scraps!!!! Sorry couldn't resist.
Just don't munch on those scraps!!!! Sorry couldn't resist.
yeah yeah yeah.
I used it for my Christmas ornament cakes. (in my gallery)I sliced a little off the bottom and also dowelled it. I sharpened the dowel to a point and stuck it through the cake and into the drum. Never moved.
thanks guys, good ideas!
if you check my pics, you'll see a basketball covered in fondant. it is on a sheetcake, but i think you'll be fine on just the board.
I saw your basketball, looks great covered in fondant! Thanks!
I also used this pan for my jack o' lantern. just sliced ever so much on bottom and used a dowel. Good luck

App Spotlight: GeoStrings 83
Have you ever come home from running errands, only realized that the one thing you forgot to put on your list was available at a store near where you were already shopping? If you're like me, chances are you've done that more than once, and it really gets old after a while. PreCentral forum member and developer of the popular homebrew app Music Player (Remix) is coming to our collective rescue with a new original app called GeoStrings.
GeoStrings is a cross between a task list and a GPS tracker. As the video above demonstrates, one operates the app by entering a reminder item, such as picking up the new Star Trek DVD, and then adding a location (or locations) at which to accomplish that activity, thus making a 'GeoString.' When you're in the area, GeoStrings puts up an alert on your phone so that you can go and take care of the task.
The app also saves a history of your locations and GeoStrings, creates location groups (e.g. stores where you can buy DVDs), lets you search for businesses through Google, and more. Alarms can even be customized such that they only happen on specific days or within a specified radius of your locations. GeoStrings also will run in the background, periodically checking your location to find nearby GeoStrings.
It's apps like this that truly leverage the unique features of webOS. GeoStrings will soon be entering closed beta testing and will later be available in the App Catalog.

When it is running in the background, I assume that I need to turn on my GPS all the time to get the notification, right? man... this app better comes with an extra battery...
Honestly, I find no difference in battery life with GPS on or off, as long as I don't have Sprint Nav actually running in the background.
I agree with this. Battery Monitor is a useful tool to prove it to yourself if you're not convinced.
Yeah, I agree. Turning off GPS doesn't do anything extra over just not using it. Of course, actively using it with Google Maps or Sprint Nav or anything else will just absolutely destroy battery life, but if you have it on not being used I see no reason to turn it off.
(Though I suggest anonymous data collection off, just in case).
Battery conversation is one of my top priorities. I've started running some initial tests and things are looking good so far. I'm implementing smart logic to ensure no additional work is being performed where not necessary.
i dont understand this. does not everyone have a car charger for when they are using GPS enabled apps while driving? i know i had to have one for EVERY phone i used the sprint telenav app with or i would not make it to my destination. if your nice sprint will just give you an extra cord and you can get a usb cig-lighter plug in on amazon for .01 plus shipping.
Now THAT is awesome.
Sometimes people complain that the apps in the app catalog are stupid, and I would say they are mostly apps I will never waste my time on because they are $2 pre-versions of flash games that I wouldn't even waste time on for free.
But this is AN APP! Hurray for APPs! (I wasn't surprised to read that the same developer can out with the Music Player Homebrew that we all probably love.)
I love the concept of apps like this, that capitalize on the strengths & "connectedness) of the Pre - can't wait!
I have been waiting for something like this to come along! Now if there was some way to connect this to another task management system, like Remember the Milk...
was this the guy who got all pissed when his player was rejected?
if so, i'm glad he changed his mind about bailing on the webOS dev community.
No you're referring to the Nanplayer music app. I'm the developer of the Music Player (Remix) app.
The added functionality of your player should be integrated into Palm's own. Duplication of functionality is a terrible thing, I'm with Apple on that one.
I agree that the functionality should be integrated into the Palm app, but I disagree that duplication is terrible. The duplication creates competition. Competition pushes other producers. Things improve. And in the process users get to vote on which set of features they prefer most. Where as in Apple's world, users clearly prefer lots of different apps (e.g. google voice app) but have no say whatsoever in getting it.
Here's a good article discussing universal standards. Different standards, but IMHO applicable anyway.
Lookin good. And, if H-Cubed is talking about what I think he's talking about, that may be the most clever idea yet.
You could just set the alerts FOR her on her phone! How funny would that be as she's pulling into the neighborhood... "New Alert: Give your husband __________." You guys can fill in the blank...
LMAO I wasnt I was talking about actual errands but shoot I like your idea a lot better!
Thanks for the article on my app. To keep up on the progress of my app visit the GeoStrings thread in the "webOS Development" section of the forum as well as my YouTube page (HedamiSoft) for more demonstration videos.
+1 on the extra battery! lol
But seriously tho, if I install this app my wife will excercise the crap out of it! I personally would love to get it but scared to because I know she LOVES to give me errands...lol
That brings up a good point. I actually want a way for my wife to share appointments with me. It'd be pretty darn cool if there were a cloud based mechanism for storing this data - perhaps in Remember The Milk, and store the location data in a notes field on RTM.
While this won't be in the initial release, I'm considering something like this for a future release if the app is successful and the demand is present.
I'd be interested Dan!
i really dont think that is going to be a problem. its too useful of a program. and if your married it would be a necessity. this way i would not have to listen to my wife, it would just come to my phone in an update on what i need to do.
"get milk" added to buzzard's geostring via (wife) or visa-versa if i added it for her to pick up.....hahahahahahahaahhaahhahaah! yea, that would go over well
Hi! at least you got a choice,your wife or the Pre?I chose the later, just joking,lol'
This sounds fantastic. I'm not normally craving MORE advertisements in my life (100,000+ per day is sufficient, thank you), but I think some ads/offers could make sense with this app. For instance, wouldn't it be nice to know that you could get a discount on the Star Trek DVD at one store vs. another? Or even a data feed that shows what's in stock and the price. Could help save a trip and money. Gee, talk about scope creep. Anyway, can't wait to try this out. Thanks.
I looked at a couple of your other clips I have a great idea for a feature you could add in!
When you do a notification, theres no way to delay it. Aka, I have a report due at work...but I dont have it done, when I show up, I want that notification. However, if I swipe it away, it disables it, if I click on it...i can only edit it. But i dont want this geostring disabled, because I need to get that report done. If i could tell it, "disable until tomorrow" or "disable for 4 hours", that would be perfect.
Also, maybe just disable it for the current location for a time period. Example, i need to pick up that star trek dvd, but target is out, i can tell it, disable target for 3 days, so if im by best buy, i will get reminded. and in 3 days (hopefully) target has more, and i will be alerted by then if i havnt picked it up yet
Actually you already have this ability. Let's say you reach a location at 2pm and want to disable for 4 hours, when the reminder pops up, you would tap the GeoString to bring up the detail screen. In GeoStrings, you can specify start and end times for a GeoString. So in this example, you would set the start time to 6pm. At 6pm if you were still within the radius of the target, you would be reminded again.
The "disable until tomorrow" ability is also available. Let's say it was a Saturday when you received the reminder popup, you could delay the next reminder until the next day by un-checking "Saturday" on the GeoString detail screen. That way it would only remind you again when it was Sunday.
You could do that...but it would be nice to see it implemented right in the notification. basically a snooze button. If im driving along, and i get a notification, i dont want to have to open up the program and change settings with the drop down while im driving.
Also, lets say i did have to pick something up at the grocery store, but i dont have time...if i drive by, get notified and ignore it, does it stop notifying me when i leave the notification radius and then continue being enabled? or does it have to be addressed?
I like it
I am considering a snooze option on the notification popup actually.
If you ignore the reminder and you leave the target radius, it'll stop reminding you. You're only reminded when you're within the target radius.
That would be perfect, I look forward to picking this app up off the app catalog
Looks very promising! What I'd really like to see is a notification when you are near 'any' store such as a Walmart. Example: I need to pick up an item from a chain store (Walmart, Best Buy, etc) and am driving on the highway on my way to another city. I'd love to be able to set it for a notification to come up when I am near a Walmart or Best Buy (whatever company I chose for an alert), instead of only being able to choose from specific favorites. Perhaps I'm looking waaaay beyond the capabilities of the mobile mapping services for the Pre. But it would be great. Tonight I have to drive to another city and need to stop to pick up a gift on the way. I know what store I need to stop at, but don't know where any of them are on the way. If the application could pop up a notification as I'm driving along to alert me that I'm near one of the stores I'm on the look-out for, it would be a new instant favorite application for me!!
Nice concept so far though :)
Great idea, but I'm way ahead of you. :) In one of the other videos I posted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhmvvIa1duI), I demonstrate this capability.
You can search for a particular store (Walmart, Best Buy) and then select the locations you want and add them all to your GeoString. Anytime you get near any one of the locations, it'll pop up with a reminder.
You can also search for a general category (like "department store") and it'll find all the department stores in the city/state you choose.
I think what he was asking for was more dynamic than what you demonstrated. E.g. if I have a reminder that I need to stop by a "Best Buy". But at the last minute, I have to go to a different town and I forget to update the geostring.
I think he's asking if it can dynamically tell that you're near a best buy - one that you didn't specifically list as a location - and then give you a reminder.
Or, I could be wrong about what he's asking for. Either way, it's something I'm curious about. I suspect this feature is possible, but at the cost of very heavy battery drain.
Yes while this is a cool idea, it would require internet access during the periodic background checks which may be a battery drainer.
Also this type of dynamic search may result in false positives. For instance, let's say I want to be reminded when I reach any Lowes hardware store. If I type "Lowes" as my search parameter, it'll pick up Lowes hardware stores, but it will also pick up Lowes grocery stores. I just tried searching for "Lowes" on maps.google.com in New York City and it came up with a Caribbean restaurant.
Wouldn't the search string contain Lowes Hardware after you've selected it from the options presented from just "Lowes"??
If the user-entered string is too vague, then get them to be more specific!
Not necessarily. Sometimes the results may come back as "Lowes" and sometimes it may come back as "Lowes Hardware". That's why I think the decision of which target location to add to a GeoString should be up to the user.
Yes, that was exactly what I was trying to get at - a more dynamic reminder as the other poster noted and tried to clarify for me. I wouldn't care if the internet would cause a drain on the battery because I (as most) use a car charger when driving. Having the ability to have the unit dynamically remind me of a Best Buy location I'm driving by in a different town would be ideal.
I think you're assuming that most everyone uses a charger in their cars at all times. I don't think that's true. I know I don't use mine unless my battery is getting low because the charging cord makes using the phone a bit more difficult. I recently got a car mount which makes it a bit better; however, it's still one more cord to plug in so I usually don't do it.
But that aside, the other main issue is the false positives that I discussed in my previous post. If you search for a business name, in many cases it's going to pick up places that are not actually the business you're thinking of. I don't think users would appreciate having an alert go off indicating a store is nearby when in fact there isn't.
Those two issues would be detriments to the user experience and that's not acceptable in my book. So I'm not going to be able to include dynamic business searching. It's a really cool idea, but the technical limitations of mobile batteries and the Google service make it less than ideal to implement.
this looks fantastic and I want it! My only suggestion is to create some smaller alert radii options for city dwellers like myself. I'm in NYC and a one mile radius would encompass most of manhattan so like a .25mi and .5mi might be a help.
Someone else suggested this in the GeoStrings forum thread. I'll do some testing to see if this is feasible. However my hunch is that it will work; however only at slow speeds. So for people driving at normal road speeds, it would probably miss the reminder. But for city commuters, it may work.
I was looking at developing an app similar to this and my thought was to keep a last dozen positions for a vector, to point towards the direction of travel. This may allow you to create a corridor of travel, rather than specific distance based on current fix. Then distance check is variation from a best fit line.
I'm not sure that would work considering I'm only polling for the current position every minute. Within 12 minutes (12 points of data), a person could go in a variety of directions. Just because they're going straight one minute, it doesn't mean they'll keep going straight.
If you are going fairly slow, you don't need to predict. If you aren't going slow, then it is more likely you will be moving more linearly. I figured I would do slow polling, like one per minute, until I got closer to target points. Then ramp up the polling if needed, due to speed relative to detection radius.
So if you're going fast, you don't make any turns? If a car comes across an intersection, they could go one of 3 directions (straight, left, or right). If your app tries to predict that the car is going to go straight because it went straight for the past X miles, it may give a false positive if the driver decides to turn.
Wonderful App.
First I've seen that I'd actually pay for!
couldn't agree more. that app is among the few I'd actually spend money on.
is it possible to post a video of it working on a Pre while driving?
Yes definitely...I'm going to be doing that. I have a car mount, so while I'm driving I'll get someone to film the Pre.
nice idea DanPLC, love the Music player remix app, and this is a good app for me, im a forgetful person, so i can set this app to set off 10 miles from my college as reminders for home work lol, so if i happen to leave it at my house i at least dont have to go all the way back to my place, only half the distance :P. good app keep it up man!!
I like the app as well. Completely unrelated, but how did he make the video? what is he running the webOS on?
I have been waiting for this application ever since I got my first Palm Pilot 10 years ago.
One tweak though, for the future. having a way to set a waypoint alarm would be good. Like say the destination is off the road a bit, enough that a big radius is just too clumsy. So you set an geo-alarm/waypoint alarm that goes off when you near the freeway exit you need to take.
So are you saying you'd like to be able to enter in GPS coordinates as a GeoString location? Or is there some type of waypoint database you're referring to?
not referring to a waypoint database.
I guess what I am saying is that it might be useful to allow more than one geo-alarm location for a particular to-do item.
For example... lets say I set a geo-alarm to buy a jersey at the basketball stadium. But, that stadium is 8 miles east of the freeway that I normally drive on. I could just set the alarm location as the freeway exit I need to take, instead of the actual location... But, it would be better if I could set the alarm for the actual location of the stadium, (in case I got to the area via a different route.) PLUS a second reminder location for the freeway exit I would take.
I could just make two geostring entries one for the exit and one for the actual location... but it would be nice if I could do one to-do entry with two location reminders.
also, yes, I am assuming we would be able to enter straight up lat-long or touch a place on the map, to make a location entry, even if it is not a search-able location. (did I see that in the video, or is my imagination filling in the blanks?)
Another thing, I put the big double size sedio battery in my phone so I can leave everything on and not worry about it. So for me... if your app uses a bit extra battery, no worries.
when you release this thing, I am going to buy it twice, In fact, I am going to donate to your music application even though I don't listen to music much. I just want you to do well with this project.
This is the kind of application Palm should throw money and people at you to help you and then run commercials to brag about the wicked cool "life changing" "paradigm shift..." etc... application. I am just totally geeking out about this dude. 10 years I have waited for a phone/pda and software that could do this for me.
You can add more than one location to a single GeoString. But currently you can't tap on a map to select a location. I wanted to add this feature, but it requires referencing the Google Ajax API. I actually did this and implemented the maps successfully; however I found that it added 6-7 seconds to the app start time which was ridiculous. Also there were times when the API would fail to load even with a strong internet connection which resulted in errors when trying to reference calls in the API.
Commercials for the app would be great! Considering an app like this is not even possible on the iPhone, I think it would be a good opportunity for Palm to take a shot at Apple with a play on the "there's an app for that" theme.
one word ... coodoes
Dan and MobileMitch, I believe an I have an alternative solution. When the notification come up, you have the option of letting the app copy the target's address onto your clipboard. Then you could manually open Sprint Navigation or Google Maps and paste the address into it.
Ya, I like that.
It wouldn't really solve the "problem" i am thinking about but I think that a button to put the location into the clipboard could be useful.
on the other hand... that would be quite a bit of messing around with the phone when you are driving. more than two or three clicks to go from one thing to the other and I would get in a wreck.
I think DanLc is right about this being most useful for areas that you are already familiar with. If you try to use it for places you have never been to before and don't know how to get there... hmmmm... I guess its all academic until we get this in our hands.
Bottom line, just release this sucker as is! I want to try it! I would pay for the chance to pay for and troubleshoot this idea even if it isn't 100% finished.
The app looks good and please continue to add improvements. I'm interested in backgrounds, I am a girlie girl and I like to have the option to change backgrounds. This app would be great for prescriptions, grocery shopping or little things such as a reminder of picking up the newspaper or the latest issue of my favorite magazine. Is there a sound alarm or alert? Too bad you can't take it a step further and also make it a call alert. That's another reason I would put a string on my finger. Say for instance, customer service is only open on mon-fri bet 8 - 5 pm. and its Sunday. And I have the option of being reminded when I am at my job or when I return home in the evening for whatever reason when I punch in my address of choice. Its far fetched I know, but I think it would be cool.
If your phone is not in silent mode, an audible beep is issued. Otherwise it vibrates.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you can do what you're wishing for. You can set a certain location (or locations) for your GeoString (like home, work, etc.) and then set the days of the week and time range you want the reminders enabled.
If I'm not understanding your request, let me know.
While I'm really happy to see this application developed (it's got to be in the top 1% of applications for the Pre), I would like to remind people that this concept is nothing new.
Simply doing a Google search for "location reminders" (http://www.google.com/search?q=location+reminders) comes up with a number companies that do it for other platforms. Of course the first result looks to be the patent for it (though it's so full of legalese, I can't tell if it's actually the same idea).
well ya
the idea has been out there for at least 10 years
there are some similar applications for blackberry and iphone though I have not heard wonderful things about them.
ideas are cheap.
good implementation is priceless.
I am hoping this one is the good implementation.
From the looks of Music Player (Remix)... I'd say "good implementation" is the norm for Dan. ;^]
I actually thought of the idea myself. There have been many times when I forgot to do something and a reminder when I was at a particular location would have helped me out.
But yes when I do a google search I see that other people have thought of this idea as well. However, I don't think the iPhone has anything like this considering they don't allow 3rd party apps to run in the background. But maybe there's something like this for jailbroken iPhones.
Dan, you are incredible! You've seemingly put this together in such a short amount of time, and also while developing Music Player (Remix). I don't know if you are the kind of person who enjoys praise, yet I sure hope so. I am shouting it out from the rooftops. :)
Nice!! When can we expect to see it out there?
I just want to say thanks DanPLC for your time in the development of such a "USEFUL" app, there are (as others have eluded to) few and far between, keep up the great work!
Dan, this is simply brilliant! So much functionality in a such a polished package. Can't wait to see it in the catalog!
Dan - that integrated help feature is a really nice touch. I believe its called 'context sensitive help' on desktop platforms. Palm should consider building in support for it at the SDK level so all apps could have a version of their screens with the question marks generated automativally by the OS.
When is this going to be in the app. store?
I really want this app.
Either this month or next month.
