We have the same problem in Evergreen Park, because workers from California Ave. businesses use our streets as their all-day parking lots. Let's do the same 6-month trial in our neighborhood!!!

So where are these cars going to park? Are they magically going to disappear?
This is just going to infuriate another group of people in another neighborhood which is where the cars are going to go.
Unless pay per hour machines are put in every lot and every garage in Palo Alto, street parking will occur. Not every worker parking on the street is working 9 - 5, five days a week in Palo Alto.
Not a very well thought through scheme.

Why not go a small step further and include Palo Alto Avenue? The avenue is too narrow for both sides of the street to be lined with cars all day long.

Permits are available for purchase to park all day in city garages, so my hope would be that eliminating the free parking pushes people to use that. I fear that the city either doesn't have enough space or charges too much for the permits. I one time I bought a single day permit (because I wanted to park for 4 hours) I think I paid about $17. That seems like a pretty crazy price for suburban parking.

Good for this neighborhood for pitching a fit. Caltrain needs to decrease its lot fee from $4 to $2. You'd immediately see less cars on local streets. The next step should be for locals to park in their driveways. It just looks better and makes it is easier for cyclists and motorists to navigate streets.

Where are these cars going to park? Is anyone concerned with this? They can go to a garage and pay to park - consider it the cost of working in Palo Alto.

I park in the Cowper St garage. A recent study, I believe, suggested there was available space there. Not true. If you come in mid-day, the permit floor are filled up, with the exception of the roof. Since they must have some spare capacity (otherwise they've over-sold the permits), I don't think they can practically push many more daytime parkers into that garage. So I agree with Eric - where are these displaced cars supposed to go?

Tough problem, and this is not so much as solution as a way for the city to insert a needle into the vein and suck more more blood … I mean money out.
A better solution would be more parking garages, and higher tech parking garages.
I never used to use the parking garages, simply out of habit. Then once I used one and realized how convenient it was … well, right under parking in front of wherever I wanted to go, I used them all the time.
A big help would be some kind of LED/Video board out in front with a count of open parking spaces on each floor of the structure, so people would know what to expect better. Nothing worse than taking the time go enter a parking structure and then not finding anything - which is the case with the Alma St. structure quite often - then it is hard to get up and down because it is small and cramped.
Parking structures are no doubt expensive, but they work.
Under this plan, what if you have a renter, which many professorville properties do, or guests who need to park in front the house they are staying at. Or workers and contractors. Is there really a fair and convenient way to employ permits in this situation?

One slippery slope with college terrace is, will the home owners have the right to sell their permit and create a secondary market? I don't believe parking should be a public benefit so I believe the answer is yes, college terrace homeowners should have the right to sell their parking spot.
My personal opinion is that people need to pay more for the right to continue killing the earth, making exorbitant amounts of noise, and killing pedestrians and bikers. i welcome the city to impose any fee they wish for the right to park ANYWHERE in Palo Alto, at least on residential streets.

This is definitely a slippery slope I live opposite the Cubberley Community Center and overflow parking uses our streets all the time, why can't we have permit parking?
There are other areas of the City that are similarly impacted like the streets around the midtown shopping center, why can't they have permit parking?

Having grown up in Palo Alto, but fortunate enough to move away, I don't think this proposal goes far enough. Palo Alto should require permits just to enter the city. Then, you can exclude those inconsiderate folks not from your enclave - parking and traffic should be a breeze

Public transportation, biking, and car pooling are alternatives to providing additional parking spaces.

I think you should. The RPPP has worked reasonably well in College Terrace. I hope all seriously impacted neighborhoods should request it. Get organized and do it! Just like Professorville is doing.

Where indeed?
The link below points to a short look at the linkage between the Downtown Parking Structures and on-street parking:
Web Link
The capacity of these structures is not being fully utilized during the business day. The City needs to rethink its management, or outsource the management, so that parking in these structures becomes the first choice of people working/visiting Downtown.

"...the permit floor(s) are filled up, with the exception of the roof. "
That is the trouble. Some people just refuse to use an INFERIOR PARKING SPOT..[/sarcasm]
The parking garages are NOT full until ALL spaces are used.
The roof spaces should have some long-term parking spaces ( ie; a monthly rate for people who work downtown ). That setup is used successfully in other cities where you have workers in their cities and not enough street parking.
Boulder, CO solved this problem with parking kiosks. You CAN'T " feed the meter " and park downtown for your job; you are FORCED to park in a parking garage.. The same applies to CU Boulder students....you automatically purchase a " hunting permit " in their parking garage as part of your student fees.
You have to remember, Boulder, CO ACTIVELY HATES CARS!!! They go out of their way to make sure a visit is short if you are driving a car in Boulder.
They welcome eco-nazis in Boulder. Just don't bring a car unless it is a PIOUS......

@Jeanne of Evergreen Park.
There were Stanford funds available to you for an RPPP study in Evergreen Park from the Stanford University General Use Permit fund. Here are the details: Web Link
The actual terms of use of these funds are:
"If the cost of the consideration and initiation of a residential parking permit program for College Terrace is less than $100,000, the remaining increment of the $100,000 may be used by the City of Palo Alto to conduct a study of parking activity for the Southgate and Evergreen Park neighborhoods in the area bounded by the Caltrain tracks, Churchill Avenue, El Camino Real, and Cambridge Avenue. The purpose of the study would be to determine if there is a need for a residential parking permit program to be initiated in these neighborhoods due to activity on Stanford lands in unincorporated Santa Clara County. The funds may be used for this purpose at any time during the term of this General Use Permit, and shall remain in escrow until they are used by the City of Palo Alto. If the funds are not used by the City of Palo Alto during the term of the General Use Permit they shall revert to Stanford."
So get your neighborhood association to ask for the study. You should be able to get hold of the residual funds from the original College Terrace study. The last I saw, there was around $31,478 left in this fund, which has been accumulating interest. Web Link

I'm glad the city isn't charging residents for the first permit. But they really shouldn't charge the residents for any permit.
I hope the city still realizes that the real problem is their downtown parking policy. Making downtown permit parking more flexible and less expensive to employers and shoppers would fill the garages downtown and keep the cars away from the neighborhoods. Seems like a simple solution, but i'm afraid the city officials think it will cut into their revenue.

I typically park in the area outlined by this study. Other people who work with me are disabled and park in various disabled spots closer to our office, even thought they've been ticketed three times WITH THE PARKING PLACARD in full display by the same lazy parking person.
I'm also guessing that the parking staff are going to expand their petrol area for the 6 months of this study. And that the city will be assigning a staff person to oversee and administer the permits for this project. I wonder what the cost will be for that.
Now the employees of Whole Foods, The Apple Store, The AT&T Foundry, Flipboard, and all the other small startups in the area will have to park elsewhere. I can do that. But if you're going to really implement this it has to be from the Creek to Embarcadero and Middlefield to Alma. Otherwise you're just wacking a mole. I'll park farther away and walk. Until I need to use my bike for the last mile.

I don't mind people using street parking if they would be more mindful of driveways and not block them . (And it would be great if our local drivers, would give those of us trying to back out of our driveways that are extended by rows of cars on each side which narrow the streets a few more seconds to maneuver around those cars, the bikes ,and people, who are using the streets and sidewalks. They are usually the same drivers who think that the walkers and bikers are just annoying road obstacles, as they race to the next destination)
It would be nice people if the people who work in midtown ( the bank, the optical shop, the doctors and dentists, the restaurants and many others) would actually use the parking lots instead of lining the local streets with their cars during the day, but then where would their customers park ?
That being said, we realize there is not a lot of available free long term lot parking space, so parking on the street is the only place for these employees to park. It does show that we have a busy
and vibrant local economy during the day.
If we had permit parking, at least we could contact the car owners to move their cars , trucks and in one case a very large bus sized RC prior to calling a tow truck to remove those parked cars so we can exit the driveway.

Drivers feel entitled to mess up the world by ferrying their lazy selves in one-ton cubes of metal. They have no regard for animals, the oceans, forests, or even other humans in third-world countries that suffer because of drivers' gluttony. A precious jewel floating in light years of void is being torn apart so lazy people don't have to sweat a little to move from point A to point B. It fills me with glee that drivers feel inconvenienced and frustrated by their petty grievances. May their anger consume them.

Isn't the biggest "offender" here the staff and visitors to the Palo Alto Nursing Center at Bryant and Channing? They have such limited parking that of course they will overflow into the surrounding streets, and they have student nurses too that have to come. I don't know the ideal solution for any of their staff/visitors (they are of course needed at the home, and we can't just ban them) but maybe the issue that needs to be addressed is the Nursing home's parking situation.

Good job, Palo Alto staff. I commend you for finally moving forward to address a longstanding concern of downtown residents.
And congratulations, Ken Alsman. It always takes dedicated and organized advocates such as yourself to get the city to act. Keep up the good work.
To residents of other neighborhoods: if you want a residential parking permit program as well, you need to get organized and demand it. Follow Mr Alsman's succes and learn from him. By default, city staff won't address your parking concerns, mostly because they haven't heard from enough residents that it's a significant problem. The squeaky wheel gets fixed first.

Curtis Williams
Director of Planning and Community Environnment
City of Palo Alto
Mr. Williams,
your department is attempting to solve the parking problem related to the influx of local employees parking in Downtown North and Professorville neighborhoods. I believe I have come up with a solution that will provide parking for the residents and the local employees.
What is the problem?
By not requiring builders and developers to create off-street parking for residents the City of Palo Alto has forced residents to use the street as their parking lot.
Most residents have at least some off-street parking available to them; however the majority of residences have multiple vehicles.
Once residents leave in the morning for some errands in their vehicles the parking spaces are acquired by employees of local business forcing residents to park a block or so from their own house.
Additionally it appears on basic observation that in Downtown North many vehicles parked in the residential neighborhood are those of commuters heading off to use the train or buses.
The above parking problem is primarily limited to those residential neighborhoods that are in close proximity to the downtown commercial district.
Question: Should residents who own more vehicles then what they need be allowed to have sole rights to use the public streets?
One would have to conclude that if you live in close proximity to an urban center you should expect greater use of the public streets by people coming and going from the urban center. Yet residents should not be overly burdened by being forced to walk several blocks to get home due to a lack of planning on the part of the City.
Currently there are many residents who want to make the streets in Downtown North and Professorville neighborhoods available to residents only. If that occurs there will be hundreds of parking spaces that go unused for the residents in those neighborhoods use less then half of all the available parking spaces available in their neighborhoods. Implementing such a restriction would be an excessive burden upon hundreds of low wage employees that provide numerous services to the very residents who benefit from their close proximity to those services.
One, require all builders and developers to provide parking for at least two vehicles on all future homes built in Downtown North and Professorville neighborhoods.
Two, provide specific "ON-STREET" parking spaces for residences adjacent to each residence's property equal to the number of adult residents per residence who own a vehicle minus the number of available parking spaces available "OFF-STREET" at each specific residence never exceeding three "ON-STREET" parking spaces per residence.
ONE: Say a residence has two adults living on the premises and both own a vehicle yet there is no "OFF-STREET" parking on the residence's property. Two "Residence Only" parking spaces would be created directly in front of the residence adjacent to the property line. These two parking spaces only use up half of the available space on the street adjacent to the property, thus two parking spaces would be available to gardeners, landscapers, construction workers, electricians, plumbers and clerks from Palo Alto Hardware and Whole Foods as well as cooks and waiters from the Cheesecake Factory and the like.
TWO: Say a residence has four adults living on the premises and three own vehicles yet there is only room for one vehicle to be parked on the premises. Two "Residence Only" parking spaces would be created directly in front of the residence adjacent to the property line. If in the future the fourth adult obtains a vehicle he/she can submit an application to the city for a parking a space, in which case the city would add an additional "Residence Only" parking space totaling three for that residence.
The result of the above solution will enable residents to park their primary modes of transportation in front of their residences without commandeering all of the unused parking spaces that would be lost if the City were to implement a blanket parking restriction. This will allow the hundreds of local low-wage employees to continue to park in close proximity to their work place while enabling residents to park in front of their homes which is what both the home owners and the employees want.

Tony - while definitely creative, your solution would be expensive to implement since it would require painting or signage for individual parking spots. My suggestions:
Require developers of commercial property to provide a enough parking for a realistic number of employees - stop the "in lieu of" fees.
Require developers of housing to provide at least two spots of off-street parking per unit.
"Residents only" parking on one side of the street throughout any neighborhood significantly impacted by business parking. This would preserve some parking for the hourly paid employees while letting residents park near their homes.
Hourly parking ticket machines in all the garages with better signage to other parking garages (like a map of ALL the downtown garages in each of the garages so if one is full, you know where to find another one).

Have you noticed that downtown Palo Alto has lots of train and bus service?
If people did not have such easy access to parking, you would find people taking trains and buses, or paying for parking. The popularity of downtown Palo Alto does not depend on free all-day parking.

If you live near a Caltrain station, getting to downtown PA is easy. If you are on the PA or Marguerite shuttle routes, great. If not public transportation is terrible. As an example, to get from Automall in Fremont to University in Palo Alto takes between 1 1/2 to 2 hours and costs from $7-12. Why one earth wouldn't you drive and park for free instead?

on Jun 18, 2012 at 3:51 pm
@palo alto mom: The driving distance from Fremont to Palo Alto is about 18 to 20 miles, so let's say the trip you mention is 40 miles roundtrip. That's at least two gallons of gas@say $4.25 (probably low), so the cost for gas is about >$8.50, so that's a wash. The round trip in traffic is at least an hour, maybe more. So public transit takes slightly longer and costs about as much.
Of course, with your own car you have the illusion of freedom.

When all the residential neighborhoods demand and get permit programs then the fallacy of letting new commercial development proceed without requiring adequate parking will become painfully obvious. Downtown will become inaccessible to shoppers and clients and then what?
a resident of East Palo Alto

The residents who are clamoring it be able to park in front of their homes aren't contributing to the Palo Alto's business tax base. Yet they're insisting on creating a permit program that will cost money to run. City employees to patrol the streets, citing non-permit cars, collecting fines in City Hall, administering the permits themselves (there's a 1-2 year wait to get a space in city garages). If you decrease the time it's valid from 1 year to 1 month, it becomes more responsive and cheaper but also harder to track and maintain current. If it's like a FASTPASS, then all the parking person has to do walk by.
The employees and businesses who've been displaced are paying city licensing and taxes. And many startups bring people into the City to use the restaurants, markets, and shops generating sales tax revenue. If you make them pay for parking, you make the cost of doing business in Palo Alto go up. Apple will stick around. They may even write an iPhone App that will track open parking spaces in the area for their employees. I have no idea what the Whole Foods people will do. The other start ups and restaurants may have a harder time retaining people. Small businesses like Philz, Starbucks, and Peets won't be so lucky. The Palo Alto stores will not be the choice location to work any more.

> The employees and businesses who've been displaced are

Palo Alto does not have a business license, or any specific business taxes--at least not at the moment. The City has tried each of these tactics in the past, but failed to get the appropriate legislative approvals.
There is a BID fee, which is not (officially) a tax, but this goes into the black hole of the BID, and little to show for it after that.
Certainly there are license fees for new businesses that involve construction, and P/W inspections--but this is effectively a fee-for-service, and by no means a tax (although definitely a tax on new business owners' patience).
Care to be more specific?

VoxPop - The time and $$ I used were for a one way trip, so to use your comparison, driving Fremont to Palo Alto and back would take between 1 and 1 1/2 hours and about $8.50 in gas, plus the toll one way for a total of 13.50. Public transport roundtrip would take 3-4 hours and cost $14-25 dollars. Big time difference, potentially a big $$ difference too.

Palo Alto is becoming one of the most unlivable cities in the area. Sad. No community at all, just a bunch or residents out for themselves.
a resident of East Palo Alto

I certainly pay a yearly business license fee to work in Palo Alto. They collect it at the city hall.
If Palo Alto isn't charging or getting a portion from sales taxes that occur in the city, I'd be surprised. Isn't that why they want to move the animal shelter--so they can collect sales tax revenue from a car dealership? Same with the hotel room taxes.
All those retail business that collect sales tax like The Apple Store, Whole Foods, the restaurants, Peets, Starbucks, et al all employ people who park in the neighborhoods. The people who live in the neighborhoods who don't want people parking in front of their houses don't pay any city taxes. Yet they want the city to spend money to administer and police this program. Also, I can't wait until a permit holder gets a ticket for parking in front of their house. Major hijinks will ensue, I'm sure.
We still need to park somewhere to continue to work in Palo Alto. Palo Alto Medical Foundation pays for employee parking permits in the Alma garage. I wonder if Whole Foods would do the same for their 200+ people. Or Apple paying for the 200+ people in the nearest garage. I doubt any of the startups in the area will pay for parking for their employees. They'll still need to park somewhere.

The NY Times recently published an interesting article on the pay of Apple Store employees. Apparently, they get about $11.50/hr and many aren't don't work enough hours to qualify for benefits.

I would have thought that Apple, Whole Foods, and the other retail stores would pitch in to pay for garage parking permits if the city decides to offer discounted ones to businesses. The Bryant street garage is apparently underutilized.

Mayor, chief: No homicides in Holyoke. last year
HOLYOKE (AP) -- The mayor and police chief in Holyoke say there no reported homicides in the city last year, the first time that has happened in at least a quarter century.
Mayor Alex Morse and police Chief James Neiswanger (NICE'-wong-er) said in a joint statement Wednesday that they credited the statistic to good police work, the city's mobile police vehicle that's deployed to high crime areas, establishment of a building code enforcement officer and resumption of the dog unit.
Morse called it a "monumental achievement" and praised the chief and his department.
Holyoke had four homicides in 2011.
Nearby Springfield reported a decade-low 12 homicides in 2012.

Before you replicate the configuration of a Sun StorageTek Availability Suite protection group to a partner cluster, ensure that the following conditions are met:
The protection group is defined on the remote cluster, not on the local cluster.
The device groups in the protection group on the remote cluster exist on the local cluster.
The application resource groups in the protection group on the remote cluster exist on the local cluster.
The Auto_start_on_new_cluster property of the resource groups is set to False. You can view this property by using the clresourcegroup show command.
# clresourcegroup show -p auto_start_on_new_cluster apprg
Set the Auto_start_on_new_cluster property to False as follows:
# clresourcegroup set -y Auto_start_on_new_cluster=False apprg1
Setting the Auto_start_on_new_cluster property to False prevents the Sun Cluster resource group manager from automatically starting the resource groups in the protection group. Therefore, after the Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software restarts and communicates with the remote cluster to ensure that the remote cluster is running and that the remote cluster is the secondary cluster for that resource group. The Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software does not automatically start the resource group on the primary cluster.
Application resource groups should be online only on primary cluster when the protection group is activated.
Log in to phys-newyork-1.
You must be assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software and RBAC in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.
Replicate the protection group configuration to the partner cluster by using the geopg get command.
This command retrieves the configuration information of the protection group from the remote cluster and creates the protection group on the local cluster.
# geopg get -s partnershipname AVSprotectiongroup
Specifies the name of the partnership from which the protection group configuration information is gathered
Specifies the name of the protection group
The geopg get command replicates Sun Cluster Geographic Edition related entities. For information about how to replicate Sun Cluster entities, see Replicating and Upgrading Configuration Data for Resource Groups, Resource Types, and Resources in Sun Cluster Data Services Planning and Administration Guide for Solaris OS.
This example replicates the configuration of avspg to cluster-newyork.
The configuration of the protection group is retrieved from the remote cluster, in this example cluster-paris, and then validated by the data replication subsystem on the local cluster, cluster-newyork.
If the validation is successful, the Configuration status is set to OK and the protection group is created on the local cluster. This protection group contains a device group and an application group that are configured almost identically to the device group and application group on the remote cluster.
If the validation fails, the protection group is not created on the local cluster. Fix the cause of the error and replicate it again.

Thank you!
Run a test and let us all know.
creating it dynamically is slower because of memory management (allocation). Statically allocate something takes no time AFAIK (except the time spent in the constructor).
As for how much, that depends on your system's memory management implementation.
All the buzzt!

Linus Torvalds: "But it clearly is the only right way. The fact that everybody else does it some other way only means that they are wrong"
The actual time it takes to create an object depends on how the application manages memory in its address space, and that depends on compiler/library implementation, the operating system, and the actual resources available to your program. Creating any object requires some memory to be obtained or supplied. The only thing that changes is when it happens, and what section of memory (eg what segment) the memory for the object is obtained from.
Statically allocating something means that is created before the first time it is used (i.e. a global object) which is a different thing from Darkwraith's first example.
The relative speed of different mechanisms of creating an object is implementation dependent. There is no universal guarantee that any particular mechanism is faster. In practice, a static allocation is often faster because the compiler/linker can do some work to optimise things. There are also some optimisations a compiler can do with the process of creating an object locally to a function. However, there is still no universal guarantee that any option for creating an object will always be faster than another.
For tiny objects, the overhead of allocating memory can be substantial. For large objects, the time used for constructing the object is much greater, so the allocation disappears in the noise. Obviously, somewhere in between are "medium sized objects", where the allocation and construction takes about the same amount of time.
Ok, so for the pedants in this forum: Actually, the size of the object itself is technically irrelevant, the time the constructor takes is much more important - consider this:
As iMalc says: If you don't need to use new, then don't. The trouble is of course "knowing" when you need to use new...Code:// Small object, slow construction. class slowconstructor { public: slowconstructor(int n) { f = 1.0; for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) f = f * i; }; private: double f; }; // Large object, fast constructor. class fastconstructor { public: fastconstructor(n) { len = 0; } private: int array[100000]; int len; };
The problem with NOT using new is that the code uses up stack-space, which is more limited that free-storage (heap-space). The heap, in a modern OS, can be more than a gigabyte. Whilst there is no technical reason why the stack can't be huge too, it's normally limited to a few megabytes. Running out of stack is also "worse" than running out of heap-space, as it's impossible for the code to recover from a "out of stack" scenario - out of heap can be detected and at least some sort of resemblance of recovery is possible.
Obviously, real-time OS's may be even more constrained when it comes to both stack and heap-sizes, but generally, the heap is a much better place to put "large" objects.
Finally, there is one other consideration: If you use a pointer, the compiler will have to dereference the pointer to get to the actual object. This can lead to further reduction in performance - again, more noticeable on objects where the member variable or member function is "trivial" and disappears of the member variable or member function requires a lot of CPU-time to get the work done.
Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
The stack has the guarantee that objects are deallocated in reverse order of their allocation, while the heap must support any order of allocation/deallocation. That makes the memory management for the stack far, far easier than for the heap, and thus faster. (The management of the stack is a single pointer in pretty much every piece of hardware out there. The management of the heap is subject to much research and use-case-specific optimization.)
All the buzzt!
"There is not now, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, any programming language in which it is the least bit difficult to write bad code."
- Flon's Law
> Which is faster:
Does it matter?
The first rule of optimisation is to make it right, before you think about trying to make it fast.
Use the form which is most correct in the circumstance in which you're using it.
Besides, as matsp demonstrates, there is no single clear-cut answer to the problem.
Further to matsp's comments on the stack, consider that growing the stack by a large amount can cause a large number of page faults. IIRC, windows grows the stack 4K at a time when it's necessary to do so, up to however many pages are needed to satisfy the local stack frame. However, this only happens once, so when you've got the large stack, there is no further hidden cost. How stacks grow in other operating systems (if at all) is left as an exercise for the reader
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
It gets shady when there is only software support for allocating stackframes because the obvious way then is to allocate so called "activation records" dynamically...
>> Use the form which is most correct in the circumstance in which you're using it.
In cases where both will work, the local variable is almost always the most correct choice.
Thank you for all your help!
This pretty much answered my question.

Windows Phone's new Driving Mode gets quick mention on NBC's Today show
0. phoneArena posted on 15 Oct 2013, 15:13
On Monday, we told you about the GDR3 update for Windows Phone that adds some new features and capabilities to those handsets running Microsoft's mobile OS; one of the new features is called Driving Mode which allows you to block texts and calls from coming through your phone while you are behind the wheel of a car...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

i got an update to 8.1 is that gdr2 ? htc 8x
7. RiseAgainst94 (Posts: 281; Member since: 03 Mar 2012)
WP is irrelevant.
9. Penny (Posts: 1681; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Relevance is a function of perspective.
16. andynaija (Posts: 1047; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
And so is your comment.
8. Penny (Posts: 1681; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
8.1 is not GDR2. GDR2 was released earlier this summer, GDR3 is being released soon, and then 8.1 is set to be released in early 2014. In other words, there's no way you should have received WP 8.1 now, even accidentally.
Considering GDR3 and 8.1 are as of yet unreleased to the general public, you more than likely received GDR2.
13. bon24x7 (Posts: 211; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
GDR3 update is already available, all you need is a FREE App Studio account (takes about 2 mins to create one). I already updated mine and no issues so far. :)
19. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
True but it can void the warranty. Wouldn't recommend putting it on anything other than an early-release 920 or 820/822/810
2. adrialk (Posts: 20; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
Moto Assist is much better than this. Windows Phone Driving Mode only detects you are in the car based on a connected bluetooth device. Moto Assist detects your driving based on accelerometers and GPS, even if your car doesn't have bluetooth.
Furthermore Moto Assist doesn't ask you to confirm as Windows Phone appears to do.

4. boosook (Posts: 1442; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
But he's right...
10. remtothemax (Posts: 260; Member since: 02 May 2012)
so we can conclude that size queens are right?
5. Penny (Posts: 1681; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
I think WP's implementation is advantageous in certain respects as well.
I wouldn't want it to be accelerometer based because I could be sitting in the passenger seat of a car and want to use my phone normally. In this situation, I wouldn't be connected to my bluetooth anyway because I wouldn't need it, so it would automatically be off.
Also, I haven't experienced GDR3 yet, but I wouldn't imagine that they make you confirm the action while driving, as that would negate the whole purpose. What you see in the screenshots above are the Settings screens to set up the feature initially.
14. bon24x7 (Posts: 211; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
Driving Mode will get activated automatically when you pair your device to your car's Bluetooth. All you need to do is specify the car Bluetooth name when initially setting up the Driving Mode, once done you wont have to activate it manually each time. And if you wish to have GDR3, just create a Free App Studio account (http://apps.windowsstore.com/) and you can update it. I updated my L925 the same day Microsoft announced GDR3.
20. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Did it give you a warning about the warranty being void? I'd like to update my 925 but I like having warranty coverage and the JUMP upgrade to a 2014 model.
22. bon24x7 (Posts: 211; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
yes, it did show a warning. But I really wanted to try it out so went on and installed it. Hope nothing will go wrong. everything is running fine as of now.. :)
17. adrialk (Posts: 20; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
My error, I was looking at another site which showed a confirmation dialog. Looks like that only shows up on the first usage.
Agree that using the accelerometers can lead to the feature being enabled as a passanger, but there is an easy toggle to disable it when it enables itself.
Moto version does speak the text messages to you, not sure why MS doesn't have this. None of these features are that complicated to implement and are far more useful than all the Samsung bloat.
18. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Windows Phones do read text over Bluetooth. Just don't enable the Text portion of Driving mode and the Text portion will work as usual.
21. Penny (Posts: 1681; Member since: 04 Feb 2011)
Yeah, as pookiewood said, Windows Phone does read text out loud over Bluetooth, and even allows you to respond voice-to-text over Bluetooth. This has been there from at least WP 7.5 from what I can remember.
And yeah, obviously the setting is not very difficult to toggle on and off. I was just making the case that WP's implementation could arguably be considered as a more convenient "set it and forget it" implementation.
12. UdhaiyaPrasanth (Posts: 76; Member since: 05 Sep 2012)
Yeah. You & your family would sit inside the car, car starts to move, and boom! Nobody's cellphone would work! And anyone sitting behind would ask you to stop the car everytime to send/receive a text. Seems a very clever implementation!
15. bon24x7 (Posts: 211; Member since: 30 Aug 2012)
WP wont ask for any confirmation, it automatically gets activated when you pair your phone's bluetooth to your car.
6. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
This is great news for WP.

Irate Caller opined that these United States would be better off if we'd get rid of all these service-sector jobs and bring back manufacturing work. IC wondered why we - whoever that might be - allowed shoe-making jobs and jeans-making jobs and whatever-making jobs to leave these shores for others in far-off lands.
We've heard the complaint before, and it has a certain ring to it. Who wouldn't prefer to exchange $7-an-hour mostly part-time service jobs for $10-an-hour manufacturing jobs with full benefits?
But there is a catch. Isn't there always a catch?
Show of hands here:
Who wants to pay twice the going rate for a pair of shoes?
Who is willing to pay double for a pair of jeans?
Who will stand in line to shell out more money for just about all sorts of products that we purchase every day of the year?
We don't see many hands in the air. Admittedly, we can't seem to get our arms above shoulder level.
Americans are tightwads. We don't like to pay more than we have to for our shoes, our jeans, our food.
And don't you know that we know how to consume? The entire world fuels our insatiable appetite for trinkets, time-savers, junk. If you don't believe that, look no further than the nearest infomercial for The Clapper or the next generation of Miracle Knife or some twirling electric hairbrush that magically makes your hair look like hers, guaranteed (with restrictions, of course).
But someone somewhere has to make these goods. "Made in America" might mean top-quality. It also means "top price." U.S. workers demand wages unheard of in other parts of the world. The cost of doing business in general is exponentially more here than elsewhere. Those production costs slide right to the price tag.
So, Irate Caller and anyone else who wants manufacturing jobs must answer affirmatively to this question: Am I willing to pay much more for these products?
If not, then don't blame the "Made in Korea" label.

Amid slew of injuries, Angels hope Downs' is minor
By Alden Gonzalez / MLB.com
But the status of lefty reliever Scott Downs, placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left shoulder on Tuesday, is still up in the air. Downs said he hopes to be out only a couple of weeks, but he isn't quite sure, and a date for him to start throwing again has yet to be determined.
Surgery, at least, can be ruled out.
"I haven't heard it ruled in," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.
"[The medical staff is] going to huddle today and kind of get a more definitive idea of what's happening, but I think Downs feels really good at his prognosis. And like I said, right now, talking with [head trainer] Adam [Nevala] and talking with Scott, it seems minor."
Aybar, out since July 21 with a fractured right toe, took ground balls, hit on the field for the first time and continues to feel encouraged. He's tentatively set to be activated for the three-game series against the A's that begins early next week.
"I feel like the way I'm going, if I continue at this rate, I'll be back [in the lineup] very soon," Aybar said in Spanish.
Walden backed up his throwing program to about 130 feet on Wednesday and said he continues to feel no pain in the back of his neck and in his right bicep. But he still needs to extend to full long toss, and after that go on a rehab assignment. It looks like mid-August is most realistic.
August could be busy month for Angels
ARLINGTON -- All the rumors and the tweeting and the chatter and the scenarios and the speculation and the MLBTradeRumors.com page views slowed considerably at 1 p.m. PT on Tuesday, when the buzzer sounded on yet another non-waiver Trade Deadline.
For the Angels, though, August may be just as busy.
"Busy is as busy does," general manager Jerry Dipoto said in a phone interview Wednesday. "Every day is busy. It's not like when the sun came up this morning I thought, 'All right, now starts the vacation.' We're always working hard. We're navigating right now through a particularly difficult part of our schedule, and I think the team is coming out nicely.
"We're excited about the next couple of months and just continuing to put ourselves in a position to be competitive and hopefully land a spot at the table [the postseason] when it's all said and done."
To do that, the Angels' next step -- perhaps their final touch -- could be to add another bullpen weapon or two.
July saw them take care of the rotation in emphatic fashion, essentially beating out the Rangers to acquire Zack Greinke, the best starting pitcher moved before the Deadline, without having to give up the coveted Peter Bourjos or Garrett Richards.
But it's bullpen arms that the Angels tried hard to get and ultimately didn't add.
Dipoto wouldn't say who they were close to acquiring or what other moves were talked about -- a lot was thrown around -- but a lack of roster flexibility on a bullpen that has been good enough to post a 3.40 ERA on the year definitely played a factor.
But the strained left shoulder of critical lefty Scott Downs, out for an undetermined amount of time, could change things.
"Not at all," Dipoto said. "You're always open to any way that you can get better. Scotty's been terrific for us all year, we don't anticipate this being a long, drawn-out process, but like I said, you never know. And as a result, like I said all along, you remain as flexible as you can be. We'll keep turning over the stones."
Now that the non-waiver Deadline has passed, deals involving players on the 40-man roster cannot be made unless the players already have cleared waivers. In other words, the player must be offered to the other teams in reverse order of the standings, and if he is claimed by someone, he cannot be traded. The club that placed the player on waivers can either withdraw the request and keep the player, or let the player go to the claiming team, which would then have the rights to the player.
A lot of players will be placed on waivers, but very few of them actually end up being moved. Still, relievers will be out there to be had.
"There will be opportunity," Dipoto said. "Whether we choose to be involved in taking advantage of that opportunity remains to be seen. Like I said at the start, we like our bullpen.
"Everybody's got a different way of thinking, and I know everybody has their designs on what should be done, but at the end of the day, we feel really comfortable with the group we have down there, and we think they've done a heck of a job."
Trout appreciates comparisons to Henderson
ARLINGTON -- Mike Trout has heard so many gaudy stats and player comparisons during this three-month surge through the big leagues that he's almost numb to it.
Hearing about his ties to Rickey Henderson, though, actually made him pause.
Trout went into Wednesday's game against the Rangers with a .353 batting average, 18 homers and 31 steals. The only other player in Major League history to hit at least .350 with 15 homers and 30 steals before Aug. 1 was Henderson, who batted .352 with 16 homers and 47 steals during the first four months of his 1985 season with the Yankees.
"That's a good feeling, obviously," Trout said, after letting out a big smile when told of the stat. "I just feel comfortable up there. Just to be in the same sentence as Rickey Henderson is a good feeling."
Henderson did that at age 26 -- not 20, like Trout.
And, unlike the Angels' young center fielder, he didn't spend the first three weeks in the Minor Leagues.
Trout, from New Jersey, may have been six years from being born when Henderson lit it up early in his first season in the Bronx. But he's learned a lot about him over the last few months -- you know, since he's compared to him all the time.
"When people start comparing you to people, you definitely start looking him up and see what they're all about," Trout said. "I definitely remember all the stolen bases he had that one year [130 in 1982] and that he hit for power. You really don't see a lot of people hitting home runs and stealing bases, as well. To be in that group with him is awesome."
Angels to bide time in contract talks with Greinke
ARLINGTON -- The Angels would like nothing more than to sign newly acquired starter Zack Greinke to a contract extension, rather than losing him to free agency over the offseason. But as of Wednesday, general manager Jerry Dipoto hadn't tendered any sort of offer to Greinke's agent, Casey Close.
For now, they just want to enjoy what they have.
"For us to think too far ahead at this point would be getting too far ahead of ourselves, rather than just allowing the cart to rest in back of the horse and watch this for a while," Dipoto said. "We feel like Zack's going to make a tremendous impact, and we'll cross the bridge of pending free agency and where we go from there when we reach it."
Dipoto wouldn't specify as to whether they would wait until the offseason to begin those talks, but reports have indicated the Angels were one of Greinke's preferred destinations, along with the Braves and Cardinals.
This offseason, the Angels will have money coming off the books with Bobby Abreu (playing for the Dodgers but still owed $9 million by the Angels this season) and Torii Hunter (making $18 million in 2012) being free agents. They can also free up money by declining the 2013 team options for Dan Haren ($15.5 million) and/or Ervin Santana ($13 million).
Greinke reportedly turned down a five-year contract extension worth in excess of $100 million from the Brewers, meaning he could cost something between the six-year, $112.5 million deal Matt Cain now has with the Giants and the six-year, $144 million extension Cole Hamels signed with the Phillies.
The Angels will face two questions on that front: Will Greinke's price get too high and are they willing to pay another pitcher more than what ace Jered Weaver signed for in August 2011 (five years, $85 million)?
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Dipoto continues to say.
Worth noting
Torii Hunter took a Joe Nathan fastball off his left hand in the top of the 10th inning of Wednesday's 11-10 walk-off loss to the Rangers. Asked how he felt postgame, Hunter said: "Not good. It's swollen."
Albert Pujols hit two homers for the second straight game on Wednesday, putting his total for the year at 22. It marked the first time in his career that he has had multihomer efforts in consecutive regular-season games. With 467 career homers, he has sole possession of 31st place on the all-time list.
With four RBIs on Wednesday, Pujols upped his career total to 1,400, making him just the fourth player in history to reach that mark in his first 12 seasons. Joe DiMaggio, Al Simmons and Lou Gehrig were the others.

LEADERS: Azerane Bam BinkyBunny JerseyGirl LBJ10 LittlePuffyTail LongEaredLions RabbitPam
Okay, I've been talking to a few vets offices looking for "the right one". The first vet was okay with me but dh didn't have a good feeling about her. Then I talked to a few more. I had a day off on Friday so I paid a personal visit to a few of the offices on my list.
The first one said "Sure we can do him any time, just make sure you bring him in on a empty tummy". Well, I said no way that was going to happen and they said "we wouldn't want him to vomit under anesthesia". I said something to the effect that if they didn't know that rabbits don't vomit and shouldn't be fasted then I wasn't bringing him in there.
The tech at the next office sounded like they know their way around rabbits but the vet wasn't in. I called today to discuss arranging a surgery date and the vet suggested that we should think carefully about it because they don't like to do unnecessary surgeries and would only recommend it if he's having behavioural issues. If our bun was female they would recommend it due to the health benefits, but they feel it's an unnecessary risk with a male. They did say that they would do it if we really wanted it but suggested giving it a few months to see if he develops any habits like aggression or spraying.
Now we're very confused. We have lost pets during surgery in the past and are becoming very anxious about any possible harm to our little furbaby. Sable is about six and a half months old now and he is still the same little bundle of love we brought home from the pet store... though he does show a wee bit of aggression toward dh who admits that he has probably provoked it in some way (now he's sorry he didn't pay attention to my advice about bunny dominance behaviours).
Help!!!! What do we do??
Sorry for the late response. Egads, what a nightmare trying to find a vet who is first experienced with rabbits, and then also as an advocate for neutering.
If you ever plan on getting a buddy for Sable, then it will make it MUCH easier to bond if he's neutered. And if you wait until he is after five years old, then my understanding is it becomes risky. The earlier you get a bunny neutered, the less likely negative habits, like aggression, spraying (IF he does that) will set in.
There is a cancer risk in unaltered males, though MUCH lower than in females.
Altered bunny urine is less smelly. Though it sounds like Sable is litter trained already, so at least the smell should be confined to the box.
Many unaltered bunnies, though not all, display territorial behavior which can cause aggression.
I have had friends who have either got an elder bunny or chose not to have a bunny altered, and seemed fine with it. It really depends on the bunny's behavior, if there is a buddy and the age of a bunny, but obviously it is a decision that only you would have to make. I understand that because of what has happened in the past, that this whole thing may make you uneasy. And I also commend you on still considering it, and forging ahead to find the right vet.
The rabbit community that I am a part of, which includes several rabbit savvy vets, are all advocates of spaying AND neutering, and so a vet who says the surgery is unnecessary is foreign to me personally.
What has been happening with all of this lately?
Hi Anitastark,
Thunder is a dwarf lop and also around 6mths old. He is male and showing no signs of spraying or aggressive behaviour as yet, so we like u are possibly putting off neutering which seems by ev eryone elses posts inevitable BUT everything seems all cuddly and cosy from here. We are in Australia and not all Vets are trained in neutering bunnies so we too would have to shop around so are leaving it till we have too.
Best of Luck
Thunders Mum

@Anonymous 5:33pm I totally disagree. Burger King is a really popular fast food chain across the globe so it's easy advertising. I don't think it makes a a joke of Twilight at all. I def want one of the crowns :) Plus it's reaching the target audience of tweens. Makes perfect business sense xReplyDelete
Hope they come to sweden! I'm gonna check that out tomorrow...ReplyDelete
Did Disney buy Summit or what? I bet the actors really like being on a BK crown. They must of sold their soul.ReplyDelete

Burger King isn't going to endorse New Moon until NOVEMBER.
"Coming to Burger King restaurants in NOVEMBER 2009" is written right on the crowns...
What could the toys be?
Please please keep us posted.

I have been reading and looking for New Moon Burger King Crowns AND Toys and is amazing and disturbing how many blogs related to generic viagra are in the web. But anyways, thanks for sharing your inputs, they are really interesting.
Have a nice day

New Smartphone Technology Reveals US Stream and River Conditions
Oh the things your smartphone can do! For the first time, data on current conditions on thousands of rivers and streams across the country, can be accessed from your smartphone, using USGS' latest system WaterNow. WaterNow makes the water conditions monitored by more than 16,000 stream gages and other sites across the country available via text or email.
Stream gages refer to sites along a stream where information for streamflow, groundwater levels, springs, water quality, and lake levels are measured. They are used by hydrologists and scientists for monitoring purposes, although this data can be accessible to anyone who is interested.
Even though stream gage data has been available to the public for the past 10 years, the USGS hopes WaterNow will make this data more readily available to the general public.
"USGS is the world's largest provider of hydrologic information, and our streamgages are a vital part of that water infrastructure," said USGS Associate Director for Water Bill Werkheiser. "WaterNow brings that information straight from our streamgages to your smartphone, and keeps USGS data flowing at the cutting edge."
Knowing about current water conditions is important for a variety of purposes, from disaster planning and response to recreation. For disaster planning and response, water levels in streams can be checked during floods and serve as a guide to decision makers on when to plan for evacuations. For recreational activities, if upper sections of rivers are too shallow, this will create poor paddling conditions, also if the volume of river flow is very high, swimming might not be the best activity.
Land and resource managers will also benefit from WaterNow too. Not only can water levels be obtained, but also water temperatures can be checked to determine when it is necessary to release water from a reservoir to protect downstream trout fisheries.
How it works:
Find the gage you are interested in. Chances are you will not be able to physically locate or even recognize one of these 16,000 gages, so the USGS provides an online mapper where you can find it based on an address or by looking at a map.
Next, you send the gage site number (and/or site number parameter) in an email or text message to email@example.com.
And it's as simple as that! An automatic reply will reveal the most recent observations within minutes. Data values are also available for other kinds of data-collection sites such as wells, springs, and lakes.
For complete instructions and guides visit the USGS WaterNow site!

The goLITE BLU energy light emits safe levels of blue light, according to current standards. However, if you suffer from an eye disease or have a history of eye disease in your family, consult your ophthalmologist before you use the goLITE BLU energy light. If you have a temporary eye problem, wait until it is resolved before you use the goLITE BLU energy light.
The goLITE BLU energy light is safe if used according to the instructions. The appliance is free from any ultraviolet light risk to the eye and it produces a safe, diffused field of light. The appliance has been tested for ocular safety.
As with any bright light source, do not look into the light too long. The beneficial reaction happens when the photoreceptors in the eye are stimulated. Since these photoreceptors lie in the periphery of the eye, you get a better result if you place the goLITE BLU energy light at a slight angle to your face.

Sponsorship Q&A with a Program Manager in India
World Vision works with each community and its families to determine what is needed most to improve the lives of their children and fight poverty. Recently, our Facebook fans submitted questions about how this happens. With those questions in hand, World Vision's Annila Harris interviewed Pratyush Das, our program manager in India. Pratyush's background is originally in finance, and he has worked with World Vision for 13 years in a variety of different areas. His responses reflect his expertise in the South Delhi area development program.
* * *
What does sponsorship do in India?
Sponsorship is vital, not only for sustaining projects, but as a means to the social transformation of a community. There is also a bond that is established between a donor and his or her sponsored child through the sponsorship program. Through this medium, a person sitting across the globe is able to connect with a child in need who needs assistance to move ahead in life.
World Vision has connected me with a child in India, but what are you doing for their family and community?
Over the life span of a project, we bring about change not just in the life of that one sponsored child, but also his or her entire community. Sponsorship is also a way to educate donors, leading them to develop the desire to impact and assist many more children and communities. For example, a lady who was deserted by her husband learned how to stand on her feet and become financially strong because of World Vision's community development. Her children became part of our education projects and are in school. The lady now even volunteers with World Vision and is influential in educating others. It's a snowball effect: As the ball rolls downhill, it gains momentum, creating massive change.
What's special about how World Vision helps a community?
When World Vision works in a community, we become a part of that community. We are a grassroots, non-profit organization in the real sense of the term. Our coordinators stay in the community and experience the same challenges that its other residents do. No activity or program is possible to implement unless one starts by building relationships with members of the community -- by sitting down with them and understanding their way of living, their pains and struggles, and their idea of an ideal community. Transformation can only be brought about when community members become part of it, assuming responsibility for the development that takes place.
Can you share more about the community birthday celebrations?
In India, most children don't celebrate their birthdays in school or at home. Many of them don't even have birth certificates; hence, they don't really know the date on which they were born. Each year, we bring children together and celebrate their birthdays in the form of a grand party. Last year, we took nearly 500 children to an amusement park so that the children could enjoy themselves in a stress-free environment. This activity has had various positive effects. Children are able to form friendships, which helps in relationship-building and personality development. Children often say that with all the stress they have from school and at home, this is one time when they get to leave all their worries behind and just relax and enjoy themselves. Left to themselves, they would not have the opportunity to see the outside world. The environment where many of them live is not child-friendly; it has no access to playgrounds and parks.
What are some issues (cultural and others) unique to India that World Vision needs to respond to with sensitivity?
In many parts of the country, boys are favored over girls due to the concept of treating girls as "paraya dhan" -- which means someone else's property. The custom of taking dowry is the root cause for the increase in the rate of female infanticide. World Vision has special programs aimed at addressing gender discrimination, like the use of street plays to convey a message of equality among boys and girls. Apart from gender, child labor is also a big challenge. For many poor families, more children simply means more hands to work. In some cases, children as young as 5 are sent to engage in labor. Survival takes precedence over education; therefore, children aren't able to attend school.
How do you help girls?
To target gender inequality in our communities, we promote education for girls extensively. Now, more girls are going to school, their attrition rates are declining, and they are able to pursue a higher education. Adolescent girls are also given vocational training like tailoring, computers, or beautician courses, so that they have multiple avenues of earning income for their families. By giving them leadership roles in organizations like youth clubs, we help develop a sense of healthy self-worth among girls. There is a lot of community awareness and sensitization required in bringing about a shift in the ideology of a conservative community with regard to girls.
How do you help boys?
We seek to instill the importance of education among boys. There are cases in India where boys have dropped out of school and gotten involved in activities like gambling. But through one-on-one counseling for the child and the parents, we have been able to enroll many of them back in school. We have also formed groups like youth clubs, where boys have the opportunity to learn good morals and participate in constructive activities like sports, drama, and painting.
What else do you do?
Our actions are determined and driven by the need of the community where we work. If, for example, malnutrition is identified as a big challenge for a region during our assessments, then our programs would seek to address this issue directly. In particular, the South Delhi area development program conducts work on child education and personal development; maternal and child health; microfinance; and community advocacy. Through our community voice in action tool, children wrote a letter to local authorities, which resulted in a park renovation so that they now have a place to play.
How can we pray for communities in India?
Pray for all the families in the community: that God may intervene and provide discernment as to what they can do bring about change for themselves. Pray, too, that bad practices, such as gender discrimination and school dropouts, would be reduced. Pray specifically that the people living in the communities would feel empowered to seek change alongside World Vision.
Sponsor a child in India today. You can form a special bond with a boy or girl who will know your name and feel your prayers, while providing basics like nutritious food, clean water, access to education, medical care, safe shelter, and more.

Myers Tames The Cubs
Whew! Finally, a win at Wrigley! Brett Myers pitched a great game again today, going 7 plus innings, giving up only 2 earned runs on 11 hits. He also struck out 8 batters. Myers had a lot of base runners, but maintained his cool and worked his way out of most of the jams. He did leave 2 men on base in the 8th inning before exiting the game, but JC Romero came in and knocked them down to get out of the 8th without further damage. Didn't I say that JC was the 8th inning man? Yes, I did…maybe Charlie Manuel is taking my advice J Romero gets a little wild sometimes, but he has the energy and drive to be the set-up guy and today, he proved it. Brad Lidge came on in the 9th and retired the Cubs in order to earn save #32 and preserve a 5-2 win for the Phillies.
The top of the line-up was back to form today, starting off with Jimmy Rollins who went 3 for 5 with a stolen base. Chase Utley had 2 hits and scored a run; Ryan Howard was 2 for 4 with a homer. But the big performance of the day has got to be Jayson Werth who hit 2 solo home runs and a single which scored 2 runs: that brings his total to 4 RBI on the day. Werth has been a monster since taking over full-time for the injured Geoff Jenkins and is hitting BOTH right and left handed pitching, an area that had been of some question up until now. He has more than proven that he is a starter and an everyday player. And don't you love watching Werth run? I just can't get enough of his long, skinny legs rounding the bases…he looks like a Giraffe high on Amphetamines J Please direct me to the petting zoo…
Oh sorry, the mind is wandering again J Back to baseball…so right now, it is Cubs 2, Phillies 1. The Phils will have one more shot to get a series split tomorrow in the final game against the Cubbies; start time is 2:20pm EST and Jamie Moyer will take the mound, hoping to improve upon his last outing which was very short and very scary. Go Phillies!
Read more about the Phillies at MY OTHER HOME PAGE! Phillies Phollowers has joined forces with Phightin' Phils Phorum! Please check out our site and bookmark it.
And for the football fans, I have also started a Miami Dolphins page, The Dolphin Pod! All Dol-Fans, and anyone else who wants to say hello is welcome!

It looked like the Cubs would try to trade Matt Garza this offseason, but now it appears the Cubs are going to start contract extension talks with him. This whole winter we heard Garza would give the Cubs the best opportunity to replenish the system. On the other hand the Cubs also expressed interest in keeping Garza long term and it now appears that may be the route they are headed.
"We need more Matt Garzas. We'll sit down to talk to him about a deal. We're hoping to get something worked out, but you never know and we'll keep it private when we do," said Hoyer. Garza had a very nice first year with the Cubs posting career best in ERA and strikeouts. Garza is set to become a free agent after the 2013 season.
As far as Garza goes, it seems he wants to stay in Chicago as well. "It's a huge compliment to be wanted by other teams, but at the same time, you want to be in Chicago to turn things around. I fell in love with the city, the ballpark, the
fans." From this comment at least Garza understands where the Cubs are and he seems genuine in wanting to be here when it does turn around. Garza who has been traded twice in his short career is also excited about the possibility of staying in one place for an extended period of time. "It's awesome," he said. "What player doesn't want the front office to commit to them? For me, it's nothing but compliments. The way it goes is the way it goes. It'll be behind closed doors. It's huge for me. It would be huge for my family…I'm ready to help the Cubs win."
Personally I like Matt Garza, I am still not sold that he is a true number 1 yet, but he is a very good pitcher and for me there is a place for him in this rotation for a long time. After giving up 5 prospects to get him to Chicago the Cubs are going to make sure they either deal him and replenish the system or they will sign him long term. Keep in mind if he is signed to an extension the Cubs could still look to move him as a new contract could make him even more valuable to some teams. It has been an interesting offseason for Garza, but he is hopeful he is here for the long run.
Thanks for Reading

Q. Hello Oracle, I saw a few articles that said Will is going to appear in season 3 of Game of Thrones. It was a couple of months ago and there are already 5 episodes out (Will wasn't there) and there are still 5 episodes left of this season so I wanted to ask is that true? Will Will really be acting there?
The Oracle replies:
As far as I know, Will is due to make a cameo appearance in Season 3 so it's not too late yet as there are still 4 episodes left.
