Not usually the type of guy who needs to use the directions, but they were necessary with this unit, however they are extremely poor directions. you will need at least two hours and a great wife to stand there and hold various parts and pieces up for you, while you yell at the direction book!!
Walton, NY
via sears.com
It is time consuming to put together, but worth it in the end. I bought 2 corner shells and 2 regular shells. Looks great and big enough to put all my power tools on with cases.
Grover, MO
via sears.com
The other reviews are spot on when it comes to how difficult it is to assemble this shelf. The directions are very poor and building it is not instinctual. Other than that, it's a great shelf.
Mesa, AZ
via sears.com
This product is not as sturdy as the picture might suggest. In addition, the assembly instructions are absolutely horrible to comprehend. Shocked that Craftsman would would allow a product like this under their brand
Sacramento, CA
via sears.com
Lots of assembly, and lots of ways to go wrong, all the worse because of really bad directions and poor illustrations. Finally got it assembled and it looks great, but was it worth the time and aggravation. If there is an oposite to the word foolproof, this would be it.
Castro Valley, CA
via sears.com
Like others have complained, the instructions are cryptic and unclear. It took me 2h+ to just do the base following the instructions only to realize that they didn't makes sense. I put the instructions aside and re-did everything to be done in another 3h. I wish the product had some sort of rubber feet at the bottom instead of bare metal on the group (scratches) but otherwise it looks good. Oh and to those who have not received all the parts, I was lucky to receive one extra part... an empty bag of cheetos inside the box.
Stanley, ND
via sears.com
Bent 2 of the legs after it was put together,just sliding it. For something of this size-it needs legs twice as thick. Contacted sears-had to go thru 3 people before one would give me a new set of legs.Complicated-cumbersome assembly.
Spotsylvania, VA
Purchased this shelf to take advantage of corner space in my garage. Pros= the box it came in looked rough on the outside when received, but no scratches and dents on actual parts. Exact number of parts were provided. Once it is together, shelf is very solid and holds a lot of materials. You can also choose to have the side brackets up which helps keep items on the shelf. With it being a corner cabinet, it definetly increases surface area for storage. Cons= directions are not intuitive, so I disregarded them. This may be partly due to the quicklink clips that I have never seen or used before and it tooks some time to figure out how they work. The first steps are difficult to do by yourself as the red legs are very loose until you get the first 2 shelves attached. Of the 3 shelves that are adjustable, be sure which heights you want as changing them would require significant time and energy. Overall, I would purchase this again. I've been able to place more and heavier items on this shelving unit than I had anticipated. Would recommend.
Atco, NJ
via sears.com
First the instructions are the worst I?ve seen confusing and not very well thought out. My advice find someone who has put this end shelf together and seek there help it will save you hours of frustration. On the plus side after 5 hours of back braking work I really do like the corner shelf.
Whittier, CA
via sears.com
I have had to exchange it 2x's, due to the same reason of missing parts. Either you get to many of one part or you don't get any at all. Im debating if I should try to exchange it one more time or just give up and get a refund. Instructions are hard to understand, it is real frustrating specially when you dont have all the parts.
Frankfort, IL
via sears.com
I bought this unit for my garage, the first one i received was missing pieces. I sent it back to get a new unit and that took a long time. Once i got the new unit, it had all the pieces. The instructions to put it together could be better, as it leaves alot to the imagination. Once i figured out how to put it together, it went smoothly and the unit is pretty sturdy.

Fifth graders to world: Stay on designated trails!
Hey! It's a guest post from Deanna Williams, USFS Wildlife Biologist & Angela Mundt, USFS Wildlife Technician!
This spring, as the skis get put back in the garage and the mountain bikes get dusted off, Boulder Valley 5th graders have a message for local bikers, motorcyclists, and horse riders: Please stay on designated trails! That unmarked path may be tempting, but it might be causing serious damage to the land and our drinking water.
The Boulder Ranger District, of the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest, is enlisting local 5th graders to promote watershed protection, local wildlife conservation, and trail rules/etiquette. Selected artwork from the 2010 Student Wildlife Art Contest will be recognized here at BigGreenBoulder and incorporated into new educational trail signs on the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest.
The art contest was inspired during efforts to repair and restore several miles of undesignated trail that was damaging a sensitive streamside area that runs east of the Peak to Peak Highway. Heavy use of these trails damaged plants, disturbed wildlife trying to raise young, and introduced sediment and pollutants into the Boulder Creek watershed.
Fifth graders participating in the contest are designing artwork around 3 themes: Read more

This Craftsman blower is the best! It is very Powerful and moves stuff with a pull of the trigger! I have never had any problems starting this craftsman blower. I thought I would only use it a few times a year but I was wrong I use it everytime I do yardwork. Its great for the grass clipping on the sidewalk. I love it so much I would (If I could) dust my inside with it. NO CONS from me!
Purchased the blower 7179477 Feb. 18 2012. Today is June 23 2012 and the re-coil is broken. I used the blower maybe 20-25 times during this time. I also purchased the extended warranty because the salesman told me that no matter what happened to the unit I could bring it in and get a replacement free of charge. When I took the blower back they told me that they have to send it out to the repair center and if it's not cost efficient they will replace it, if not it will be repaired in a couple weeks. I have purchased numerous Sears/Craftsman products, but after the service I received tonight I will never walk into a Sears store again.

I purchased last weekend (mid March 2013), unboxed it and put some mixed gas in it. I started the starting process but would turn off as soon as I moved from half choke to full run. The engine was warm or even hot because it had been running full speed on half choke for 15 min. The carb needed a little adjustment with a specialized tool that is not available in stores here in Corpus but I already had it in my tool box. The tool can be purchased on ****** for around $30 but can be used on small engines. Once I adjusted the carb it has ran perfectly several times this week. I have used the vac feature and loved it. I blow all the oak leaves into a pile and then vacuumed all of them up. It saved a ton of time from me having to hand bag it. I would recommend to a friend because I have the tool to adjust the carb, if I did not have the tool I would have thought this item was junk but it just needed a little adjustment for our humid conditions.

Just bought this blower/vac, it seems like a well made and nice unit. I've owned other blowers in the past and they've all been on the cheesy side, but this one seems to have lots of power, starts real easy, and handles well as a blower. I guess time will tell.

I will never again buy a gas powered craftsman tool. Before making this purchase I read some of the negative reviews and assumed my attention to maintenance and care would result in a long lasting craftsman tool. This is not the case with this piece of junk. If you happen to get one season problem free you can count on it being the last. From that point forward you will spend more time troubleshooting and repairing than you will spend using this blower and from what I've read almost any new craftsman blower. From this point forward I will gladly spend a few extra bucks for anything but craftsman which is really sad since I use to not even shop around back when you could count on craftsman quality AND warranty.....a thing of the past.

I always use fresh gas and correct oil mix.had to replace cylinder and piston assembly.after putting back together it started and ran fine for one use.then the flywheel broke,replaced with new one, now today it's broke again. TOTAL piece of junk! don't buy it.

Had a Craftsman blower 10 years ago, was never easy to start warm but got by with it, did good vacuum job. Got new one today and even worse to restart warm, and to convert to vacuum was major pain compared to old one. Picked up small pile of leaves and locked up, had to stop after less than 5 minutes and play with it to get chopper spinning again. Worst part, went in position to vacuum, leaked gas on me and sidewalk-terrible design!!! Put it back in the box and took it right back to the store for refund. Will look at buying a Stihl instead.

Hard to start when cold or flooded Out of the box polled it 100 times to start, but 2nd day, I pulled the starter 300 times. Never ran before quitting. I finally quit. WILL return it and get something elses somethng so dont waste your time buying
Lawton, OK

Rope pull is too long and needs to be half pull. If the engine floods it is almost impossible to start. Out of the box it worked OK, but 2nd day, I pulled the starter 300 times. Never ran more than 20 secs before quitting. I finally quit. Makes me wonder if I should have bought and Echo or Toro.

To use the vacuum function I could not find a comfortable position for the bag or method to hold the unit. I ended up smelling like gas. Vacuum works fine, unit started easily but just plain uncomfortable to hold or use with vacuum attachment

The Logitech headset I purchased to use with Dragon, came equiped with a two ended plug. They are color coded, green for speaker and pink for microphone. The plug in`s on the side of the AIO`s, don`t have the color disc`s around them and it is hard to see the little icons.The average consumer will have to turn the AIO around to see the icons and plug in their headset. If Dell could put those colored disc`s around the ports, we would have a much easier time using Dragon.
Categories: Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Software,
I downloaded Dragon software and purchased a new headset. I had good sound but no microphone. Trying to find the problem, I opened the MaxxAudio 3 control panel and discovered that the microphone boost levels were set at 0db`s. The recording levels were very low also.When the consumer orders Dragon, the factory needs to change the settings so the software works out of the box. The correct settings are recording level on high, and microphone boost set at +30db.Not all consumers are going to know what to change to make their software work.

In the current times, we have a lot of things happening on cloud and the user adoption of the same is increasing.

Though we could use this technique in an easy way ( tough i only have a basic structure to implement it ) we could use up the same box as in the picture captchas but with a difference in diplaying a word in a video format as the words would shuffel it self and then display it sefl . the whole waiting time to entrer the word should be only 5-10 sec . after the words again shuffels it self in short should always load a new word video captcha ... the idea behind the jumbled word and animated word is every software with the best case ALGORITHM cannot dedect the video captcha in 10-15 sec .. thought the word gets changed after the alloted time and also most of the softwares could not predect the word wich are jumbled for instance the video captha is as follows apple the word should be Jumblled and then given to user to type as follows: papel (jumbled word not to be displayed ) first we display the user to enter the word as pal the user will enter the word pal after words we tell the user to delete the word and write lpe again we display the whole jumbled word and which get rearranged as apple and the user now cannot delete the lep(entered word ) but could only add words any where by moving the arrow keys as lpe(entered word) consider l(1)p(2)e(3) letters now a(1)P(2)p(3)l(4)and e(5)...... as this method could fool most of the softwares which i have come across and let them come with confusion and stops the further execution.... THANKYOU

On Windows 8, the Skype app in Metro dose not work well. Please pre install Skype on the desktop for all pc`s with webcams. This will save the customer a lot of time in downloading and set up. The downloads also have a lot of freeware that is unnecessary for the customer.Make it easier on the customer, especially people that haven`t used webcams before and may not have a son or daughter nearby to take care of this for them.

Fortune Finders is an app that creates scavenger hunts. Is take random barcodes from items you find in everyday stores and has people go to find and scan them. Now it is also a race. The first people to finish the hunt wins a prize. There is a $5 membership monthly, or $50 for the year. Some of the hunts will be team hunts, but most will be individual hunts. Monthly prize drawings, and lottery winners are also being worked out in hopes of being apart of the membership. Shoot please let me know if this is an idea that will keep people interested and if its worth the investment, as well as any ideas you might have. Thanks.
The Alienware Command Center (ACC) is really outdated, and here's why:I've noticed in games like League of Legends, Battlefield 3 and Blacklight: Retribution - games that take advantage of AlienFX for more immersion, and sometimes helps with the gameplay - the color changes will be much smoother than ACC's color changing options.For example, if you use a transition bar for two colors, lets say, red to green, the transition won't be smooth even on the highest 'tempo' settings.AlienFX is also a pain and an inconvenience for those who like to have really complicated color schemes. It takes so long to delete a few bars from the theme. On top of that, you can't move the bars around in the theme. If you want to make a change in the middle of a long theme, you either have to change every single bard to go with the theme, or just start fresh.So please, make some major changes to ACC.

During a recent dell.com website search and a chat with a Dell representative, trying to replace an aging Dell Inspiron laptop, I was disapointed with four(4) of the NON options I could not get with an Inspiron "R" series unit recommended to me, and my subsequent self-tour through the latest Inspiron laptotop building process, namely 1.) NO Intel Processor(s), 2.) NO Windows Office Products (trial or otherwise), 3.) No Windows 8 OS, and 4.) and NO Security System installed (trial or otherwise), without which would-have/should-have allowed for a lower priced computer I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend to the prospective users/buyers for which it was intended. And as I so often have done, probably would have bought one for myself, especially form Dell. Dell remains one of my first places to take a look at the latest/best Computer Hardware Configurations but I was disappointed this time NOT to see an AMD Processor Option nor, as a minimum, a Windows 7 Home Premium OS option. Most 'smartphone' users also have an inherent distrust for Security Systems and nickle-and-dime options(trialware) that prove soooo distractful and intolerable to them(plus myself). The system(s) recommended to me would undeniably provide the hardware for the intended usage/tasks and would be a quantum leap towards the 'leading edge' of technology and I will leave that choice for prospective buyers. Personally, I would format the HDD upon receipt and start form there. Could I buy an Inspiron as such?FDRG

I am a student in informatics, and I have this one problem.When I need to send documents, installation programs, fast to anyone,Even when you sit next to him. I always need to send it by email, or dropbox, usb, or windows network folder. But when you are using Windows, Mac and Linux it is harder to do this.I was thinking of a simple program that starts up fast! and lets you select a computer and send a file/group of files, directly to their pc/'s using the pc's network card or router when the pc's are connected to a router, the only thing they need to right click file send to;/NAME/ and accept the file/s + name of sender.This was my idea, and I hope you can use this.Erik.v.e

The contractors (the two I'm considering) have been in my attic. The others didn't go up there and weren't invited back after they tried to "sell" me anyway. The two contractors have seen the sizing and layout of the ducts and verified the positioning of the registers. The FPL energy survey included a blower door test. Ducts had already been sealed at the plenum (current A/C is not original 80s equipment and neither is the ductwork). The only leaks detected were where the ducts meet the boots at the registers. There is sealant in the ductwork at the registers now because I stood there and watched while those repairs were made last week.
What else can I do to be sure my ductwork is adequate?

Are your room temperatures relatively even of do you have a room or tow that's always too hot/cold? If temps are even the ductwork is at least on the right track. Also smaller equipment doesn't require as much ductwork. Your single 20x20 is too small for a 3.5ton, but would be fine for a 2 ton. If you go up in A/C size bigger ductwork is normally required.
Remember, the sales guy has a lot to consider, and may have limited knowledge. In the unlikely event he knows enough to recommend $x thousand for duct repair/replacement, it might well lose him the job when the next guy assures you 'nah, ya don need all that.'.
Did you pay for his time? No? Then do you think there my be conflict of interest? He doesn't get paid for NOT making the sale.
Install 2 stage. Divide the incremental cost over 180 months, then subtract the energy savings, you'll feel pretty foolish not spending the extra few pennies (which may not be extra if price of electricity jumps).
Also, If high only happens 20% of the time, you are only running 'emergency brake engaged' 20% of the time. Sounds like current duct is likely more than sufficient for low stage, which will be where you run mostly. Adding a return will probably loosen the brake some for high and ensure its full off for low.
There are perfect solutions and near perfect solutions. At some point, unless you are NASA, the cost and benefit of going from near perfect to perfect simply don't match up.Which makes more sense to you?
CONSERVATION - turning your thermostat back and being uncomfortable. Maybe saving 5-10%
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - leaving your thermostat where everyone is comfortable. Saving 30-70%
DO THE NUMBERS! Step on a HOMESCALE.
What is comfort? Well, it AIN'T just TEMPERATURE!
Energy Obese? An audit is the next step - go to BPI.org, or RESNET, and find an auditor near you.
Keep in mind my existing Rheem air handler is a 4 ton, single speed. Air flow feels good to me at all of the registers, even though the small return is sucking the air filter for all it's worth. The only hot spot was the 10x15 space in the NE corner that I use as an office. It was originally a screen room, later enclosed as conditioned space. During insulation upgrade last week, I discovered the previous owner had failed (or forgotten) to insulate the attic above that space. Since I now have R30 up there, the temp in that space is the same as other rooms. It's 3:30 in the afternoon and I'm in the office and comfortable at 77 degrees and 39% RH.
As I've tried to say a couple of time, the "sales guys" were discounted from the get go... shown the door and not invited back. The two contractors who quoted me on the Trane XL20i and the XB14 happen to be Trane certified comfort specialists AND they are the "owners" of their own A/C companies that have been in business in my area a long time... one since 1975, the other since 1985. They're not "sales guys" IMHO and each spent several hours in my home checking things and going over details with me. As I've said before, neither is trying to sell me on any one choice over the other.... it's all up to me.
I've gotta say, at this point, I may be better off waiting at least until December to see how the repairs to my 3.5 ton Rheem system impact my electric bill. Of course, I'll continue my analysis of options and may or may not decide to move on the current Trane rebate offering before it expires.
FYI, the Carrier guy was a "sales guy". I could tell by what he did or didn't discuss with me. Besides that, the title on his business card was "Replacement Manager" and he sat in his truck doing his calculations, which he automatically assumed I wouldn't or shouldn't need to know.
How old is the duct system you have at present? Did you just pay to have the sealed?
Always here
I wasn't concerned with my interaction with a complicated t-stat.... I've been pretty much of a geek since I was introduced to a computer at my first job working for the DoD in 1966, before most folks even knew that electronic calculators existed! I was more concerned with the tech doing the install setting all the switches properly for my setup. I've been all over the web reading about install issues where the tech forgot something and the callback tech couldn't find it, so it took months of frustration for the homeowner to get it resolved.
Yep, I've decided to take the 10 year extended warranty. It took me awhile to convince myself it was worth it, given that I'll continue paying my home warranty annual premium and could save myself a few bucks a year and still get labor, if required, and only have to pay my deductible. But in the end, I've decided it's worth it to be sure any labor for warranted parts replacement is performed by a Trane trained tech, instead of whoever's next on the contractor rotation used by my home warranty company.
I don't know for sure, but the FPL rep that did the energy survey and blower door test said it looked like they were NOT the 1980 original ducts. Since the replacement. A/C is dated 12/99 and the screen room enclosure was done around the same timeframe, I'm guessing the ductwork may have been replaced/upgraded when the current A/C was installed. Yes, I just paid to have the ductwork tested and sealed.
Have you had an efficiency test done on your existing system? How many BTU's is it actually putting out? Are the coils clean? Since you are this deep into it you may want to consider hiring an air balancing company? (Don't freak out everyone) just to get them out to the site and actually measure the cfm's leaving the supply registers. Add them up. You want them to use a FLOW HOOD. It's not expensive at all. You can even rent them yourself. Let's see what you are actually starting with, rather than just replacing equipment. You need to make what you have as efficient as it can be......a new box is not the first answer.
The return may me too small, can you add one in the master bedroom? (I understand you just have one return?)Always here
My reasons for considering equipment replacement at this time are:
(1) The system is at least 12 years old (mfg date 12/99) and approaching end of life. I've had 3 different issues repaired inside the condenser housing over the past 3 years. Only a matter of time before something fails again.
(2) The bottom of my condenser housing has rusted through, causing the compressor to fall over onto the accumulator. My home warranty covered those repairs last week and I'm up and running, comfortably, right now. It's only a matter of time before something else fails.
(3) The condenser housing was installed half on/half off a cement slab less than 2 inches from a sprinkler head, so the coil fins are so corroded I'm afraid to hit them with the water hose. It's only a matter of time before that causes another failure.
(4) When the unit was running before the recent accumulator failure, my electric bill was too high. For example, my monthly bill in the summer months was running 4 or 5 times the amount I pay monthly in the spring and fall. Could have been caused by the leaky accumulator... maybe the bill will go down now.
Yes, the return is way too small. Yes, I need to add a return. The air handler sits on a fabricated stand in the corner of my laundry room, which backs up to the entry hall on one side and the hallway to two of the bedrooms on the other side. I Now have one 20x20 filtered return at that corner in the b/r hallway that feeds the air handler from underneath, and I can add another at that corner in the entry hallway to feed through the same space under the air handler. This is the return solution proposed by the contractors I'm working with.
Not sure of the benefit of doing more testing on the existing system.
Curious.... wasn't this part of the "duct test" I just paid my utility company to do as part of their "energy survey"? They hooked up a door boot and suction fan to my front door and then went around to each register one by one with a hood fitted with tubing running to a meter, blocking each register and taking readings with the meter. The resulting readings for each register indicated how much airflow was being lost in each room due to ductwork leakage. I had the identified leaks repaired last week.

that test can point out leakages to the exterior of the home, but it can also hide some.
another test is called the same thing, but the blower door it connects to is the one on your air handler. using a product called a duct blaster. it ramps up pressure on your sealed ducts, and the computer spits out a percentage of leakage. I shoot for zero... old ducts I have sealed, I accept 6% new stuff with new equipment gets down in the 3% range.
anyway, to answer your questions, the air balancing company will determine how air is distributed in each room. and that along with your floorplan should help you balance what should be in each room to what is actually in each room.The TRUE highest cost system is the system not installed properly...

NEW YORK, March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Retail Investor Conferences.com, CCG Investor Relations, BetterInvesting (NAIC), PR Newswire, and MUNCmedia today announced a March 7th showcase event for Real Estate Investment Trusts. This is the first use of this unique retail investor platform specifically for the $600bnPublicly-Quoted Real Estate Investment Trust Sector, and the 27th in the series using the RetailInvestorConferences.com, platform. Individual investors, institutional investors and analysts are invited.
DATE: March 7, 2013TIME: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM ESTLINK: www.retailinvestorconferences.com > red "register / watch event now" button
It is recommended that investors pre-register to save time and receive event updates.
This will be a live, interactive online event where investors are invited to ask the company questions in real-time - both in the presentation hall as well as the company's "virtual trade booth." If attendees are not able to join the event live on the day of the conference, an on-demand archive will be available for 90 days.
Presenting REITs will include:
Speakers include:
Brad Case, Senior VP Research and Industry Information, NAREIT, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts who will make a 30 minute presentation: "A Guide to REIT Investing"
Brad Case, Ph.D., CAIA, is responsible for conducting original research on real estate investing through REITs in institutional and individual investment portfolios. Dr. Case has authored numerous magazine and journal articles on topics, including REITs and real estate as inflation hedges, diversification and risk-adjusted performance of REITs relative to other assets, relative performance of REITs and direct real estate, long-term return distributions, lead/lag relationships between REIT returns and direct property values, and correlations and volatilities of REITs and non-REIT stocks. Dr. Case previously was an economist with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in Washington, D.C. He is an editor of the academic journals Real Estate Economics and Journal of Housing Economics. He earned his Ph.D. in economics from Yale University.
Virtual Conference Format
Following Dr. Case's remarks, these leading REITs will each have a time slot of approximately 20 minutes during which they will lay out the key points of their investment thesis. This will be followed by Q&A live with participating investors. After the presentation ends, each REIT will be available in a virtual "trade booth" where investors may view additional corporate materials and chat in real-time with the presenter. Investors may then wish to become followers of the REITs they have met by opting in to mailing lists for future communications from the REITs. They may also continue to deepen their understanding of the REIT by revisiting the presentation, which is available for a further 90 days at retailinvestorconferences.com.
The REIT Sector
REITs, or Real Estate Investment Trusts, are an asset class with unique attractions for both individual and institutional investors. By combining a healthy yield with the potential for equity appreciation, REITs meet the desire of many investors for income AND growth. Research by Ibbotson Associates shows that over the past 30 years, the total return of the FTSE NAREIT index of all public REITs has outperformed broad indexes including the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.
Advantages of REITs include:
The REIT Virtual Conference provides investors with a convenient introduction to the basics of REIT investing, the recommendations of some of the top analysts and investors in the industry, and the opportunity to learn about investing across multiple REIT sub-sectors.

A measure that would have doubled Alameda County's transportation sales tax to a full 1 cent appears to have been defeated.

T.E.A. Taxed Enought Already................
Posted by Thank Goodness, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Nov 14, 2012 at 9:17 am
Thank goodness these tax measures failed. We have had enough of Sacramento's shell games. They take money that's supposed to go to transporation, and spend it on their pet projects (like outrageous compensation for state workers, the vast array of abused social programs, and all sorts of freebies for illegal aliens. Then they want additional taxes for transportation to make up for the money they misappropirated. They take money that's supposed to go for education, whiz it away on their pet programs, and then say we have to have additional taxes to make up for what they stole. Less than a week after Prop 30 was passed, Gov. Moonbeam is already talking about how that money is going to "fix our budget woes", help pay for the bullet train, and help pay for the water diversion tunnel. And you know the unions that put him in office, put the Democrat super-majority in control of the legislature, and got Prop 30 passed are going to be their to get their cut of the action. Thank goodness for the 2/3 requirement for raising taxes. However, I am sure the super-majority loons will figure out how to get that requirement ousted.
Posted by jay, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Nov 14, 2012 at 9:32 am
That was too close. I wish the voters actually did their research instead of looking at the glossy mailers to really understand this permanent tax and automatic authorization of one billion dollars forever. However, the campaign to pass this measure (financed by the unions and construction companies that would have received the contracts) was pretty large and there was no money spent against the measure.
It is also suspicious that it is very difficult to find the campaign financing reports on the Alameda County campaign financing website. It does not even have Measure B1 listed as a measure. If you then search on the name 'B1', it gives you an error. I found that if you search on 'transportation' that you can finally find it. The county sure does not want the public to see this 'public' information and I believe that requires an investigation into itself. As of 10/20/12, the Yes on B1 campaign spent $632,181.25 (probably more spent since that filing date). There appears to be no money spent to defeat the campaign.
I suggest people go to the county campaign filing website at Web Link and search on 'transportation' to see the organizations that contributed to this campaign. It is a who's who of who would have received our tax money including a donation of $25,000 from the SEIU public employees union and $24,500 from Parsons Brinkerhoff Inc from New York, a major public works construction company. It would be great if our local papers did the investigative work and filled in the public on where the money came from.

Even if I'm glad that transportation sales tax measure failed, the sad outcome of these elections is the fact that while majority of Californians don't want to pay more taxes, they are perfectly OK with others paying more instead.

Final results are in. All of these poorly written and ill-conceived measures have failed.

Deerfield police say woman fired gun as officer was arresting companion
DEERFIELD - Shots were fired early Wednesday morning as a police officer was arresting a man after responding to a 911 hangup call on Old Center Road.
Officer Roger St. Onge suffered minor injuries, what police described as bumps and bruises, in the incident. He was treated at a local hospital and then released.
The incident began about 12:30 a.m. when police received a 911 hangup call from the residence. Police said St. Onge was at the front door reaching for the door handle when he was rushed and tackled by Stanley West, 40, who punched him several times in the face and head, according to a news release.
As the two men struggled, police said Jane Schultz, 44, shot off two rounds from a handgun. St. Onge managed to handcuff West and then drew his gun on Schultz, 44, who dropped hers. He then arrested her without further incident.
Schultz is charged with felony reckless conduct, while West is facing four counts of simple assault, one count of resisting arrest and one count of disorderly conduct.
Both were taken to the Rockingham County jail and will be arraigned later Wednesday in 10th Circuit Court, Candia District Division.

BOYS BASKETBALL: Emerald Ridge hands second-ranked Eagles first loss, 68-57
By CASEY OLSON
Federal Way Mirror Sports editor
January 9, 2013 · Updated 11:30 AM
To say the Federal Way basketball team had been dominant in the South Puget South League South Division this season would have been an understatement. The second-ranked Eagles cruised through the first half of the league season with a perfect 8-0 record and a margin of victory of over 30 points a game.
But the dominance came to an end Tuesday night at the hands of the Emerald Ridge Jaguars. Emerald Ridge handed the Eagles their first loss of the season, 68-57, on Federal Way's home court.
The Jaguars (9-2 overall, 6-2 SPSL South) dominated the second half, outscoring Federal Way, 41-28, to overcome a two-point halftime deficit.
Federal Way (11-1, 8-1 SPSL South) played without starters Brayon Blake, DeeShawn Tucker and D'Londo Tucker, who all sat out because of disciplinary reasons. The trio are three of the Eagles' four leading scorers on the year, all averaging in double figures.
The loss to Emerald Ridge comes after Federal Way handed the Jaguars a 30-point blowout in Puyallup earlier this season. It was the school's first-ever win over the Eagles since the school opened its doors in 2000.
Sophomore Malik Montoya led the way Tuesday night for Federal Way with 20 points and junior Adrian Davis chipped in 11.
The Eagles face another rugged SPSL South battle Friday night when they travel to Beamer to take on a very solid Titan team that has just three losses on the season. It will be the teams' first matchup of the year.
Beamer — The Titans (8-3 overall, 5-3 SPSL South) blew away Rogers Tuesday night, 67-37, at home to pull closer to Federal Way at the top of the SPSL South. Beamer was led by the 19 points of Bogdon Blivenyuk and 18 from Charles Frazier. Juwan Flowers chipped in 13 points.
The Titans took control of the game in the third quarter when they outscored the Rams, 21-5, to turn a 12-point lead into a 28-point advantage.
Decatur — The Gators (7-5 overall, 3-2 SPSL 3A) dominated the Bonney Lake Panthers Tuesday night, 76-50. Decatur took a 40-20 lead at halftime and extended the lead to 29 points after the third quarter.
Kevin Locascio led the way with 22 points and Jason Young finished with 21 for the Gators. Glen Jackson chipped in 15.

Many, many thanks to Dwayne (dandjtaylor) in Salem, MA, for the advice of planting nasturtiums among the milkweed to control aphids. When my milkweed was about 2 feet tall, I had to squish aphids from a few of them. I planted the nasturtiums & once they took hold I haven't had one aphid!!! The milkweeds are now about 3 feet tall & so far so good.............keeping fingers crossed that this will continue over the next several months.
Dwayne, thanks again

Soraya Rodriguez
"It's bonkers at the moment in London," exclaims Soraya Rodriguez when talking about the rude health of the capital's art scene. "It was bonkers when I got involved six years ago and even then you thought, 'how much bigger can it get?' But it just keeps growing and expanding and new things start happening."
She should know. As co-founder and director of the capital's annual Zoo Art Fair, she has seen the event expand from its relatively humble beginnings as a satellite to Frieze in 2004 into what has been described by the Independent newspaper as "Britain's coolest art fair". In 2007 Zoo moved from its founding premises in Regent's Park into smart new premises in Piccadilly, where over 60 international galleries were showcased to great acclaim. As of 2008, it looks set to get bigger still. No mean feat for someone who, by her own admission, became a curator more by accident than design.
A one-time artist herself Rodriguez stopped her practice shortly after completing a Sculpture MA at the Royal College of Art in 1998. "I'd wanted to be an artist from a really young age," she reveals, "and I was so determined about it I didn't really think that I could do anything [else]." Having decided that she was never going to be the kind of artist she wanted to be ("the one thing I didn't want to do was be a bad artist," she notes with a laugh), Rodriguez gave up all contact with art and the art world for about two years before a series of temp jobs saw her posted to the publications department at the Royal Academy.
Having secured a full-time contract before the week was out Rodriguez was quickly drawn back into the art world. She met Max Wigram, co-curator of Apocalypse, the sequel to the groundbreaking Sensation exhibition of 1997, and, having decided that she wanted to "get involved with the contemporary side of things" left the RA after about 18 months to assist Wigram, with whom she cut her curatorial teeth. Meeting with Zoo co-founder David Risley shortly after Rodriguez had left Wigram's employ – "not really knowing what to do except that I wanted to curate" – led to the launch of Zoo Art Fair just four and a half months later.
While she may now operate from the other side of the canvas, so to speak, Rodriguez feels no loss of creativity in having given up making art herself. "I approach curating in the same way I would if I was thinking about putting together an artwork: by asking myself, 'why should I put this with this?'" she explains. "I see that as a creative process. None of those questions goes away when you're organising an exhibition or curating an idea – you're still fundamentally asking yourself, 'why do I want this bunch of people to bump into this bunch of people?' or 'why do I want to put this piece of art next to this one?' It's a sort of macro process of the micro process that is making art."
Despite the apparent distance between her studies and her current work, Rodriguez considers her time spent at the RCA as a useful – if somewhat elliptical – grounding for her future career. "Having two years with the freedom to make whatever you want, think whatever you want, do whatever you want, that's invaluable not just for curating, I think, but for life," she asserts. "That freedom forces you to take on responsibility for what you want to achieve.
That was invaluable, certainly, for all aspects of what I do now because nothing happens if I don't get out there and make it happen." And if there's one thing Rodriguez knows how to do better than most, it's make things happen.

I had problems with the font too, but now it looks ok. Check out CharDudett's reply to me and see if it helps:
Do you not like having anti aliasing on??? The font looks completely fine as long as you have that option switched on.
Check if ClearType is still enabled:
Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Adjust ClearType text
Then check your font settings for windows, menu items and dialog boxes:
Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Personalization > Window Color > Advanced appearance settings
Or maybe post a printscreen of what it looks like to you. I did that in a previous post when the font was still screwed up, take a look and see if you have the same problem or if it's something else.
I still really dislike the header and top bar in the ugly blue color And I agree with Andres, the difference between different posts could be more accentuated somehow.
