Wow, I can't believe that the first day of summer was like three days ago. It is was hot today, and the worst part is, it was really humid. There was a couple of thunderstorms that pasted by, but nothing major or nothing serious enough to cool things down, if anything, it got hotter. Anyway, this next tutorial is based on the summer months that are going to be filling our skies, days, and nights with hot air, rain, thunderstorms, and even tornadoes. What is one of the things that we do most of during these days? One major thing that families and friends do, is go camping. I will be showing you guys "how to draw a tent", step by step. A tent is a quintessential object that is needed whenever you go camping. Yes it's true that people sometimes do just camp out using sleeping bags, and firewood, and nestle around a campfire. But to tell you the truth, I'm not too comfortable sleeping out in the wilderness with just a sleeping bag and no shelter. I would much rather have a tent to spend the nights in, with a nice comfy bag and pillow. I know what you must be saying, “how is that camping if you almost have all the luxury's of home?” The truth is, I don't see anything wrong with that at all. The tent I drew is your standard simple looking set up. Even though there may be some discrepancies about how tents nowadays don't look like the one you see here. Still I think that if you are going to draw a tent, you might as well have some kind of creativity involved. I hope you guys like this lesson on "how to draw a tent", it should be a fun activity to do just because summer is here. I have to go peeps, but I shall return soon. Peace out people, and have an awesome day.

How to Draw a Tent

how to draw a tent step 1

You can first start out drawing the triangular shape of the tent like you see here, and then draw the sides of the tents structure.
how to draw a tent step 2

You will now draw the top lining, which is in an inward slope. Thicken the lining for the roof of the tent, and then move to step three.
how to draw a tent step 3

Now let's draw the front of the tents surface. This is the opening, and bottom of the tents base like you see here.
how to draw a tent step 4

This is your last drawing step, and all you have to do is draw the sides of the tent, and then the ropes that are pegged in the ground to keep the tent from collapsing. Next, draw the campfire, and flames. Erase the lines and shapes that you drew in step one.
how to draw a tent step 5

Here is how your camp tent looks when you are done. All you have to do now is color it in, and draw a nice woodsy background. Great work guys!

Funny Car Qualifying Notes, Session #1
By Jim Samuel

MOHNTON, Pa. - Notes from round 1 qualifying in Funny Car at the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, 28th annual Auto-Plus NHRA Nationals listing lane, driver name, elapsed time, top speed, and position in order following run:
Left Lane: Mike Smith Runs 4.761/178.00, Now #2
Right Lane: Blake Alexander Runs 4.189/299.93, Now #1

1:59 p.m. - Weather conditions: air temperature 79 degrees, relative humidity 52 percent, barometer 29.46 inches, adjusted altitude 2,554 feet, track temperature 104 degrees.

Smith spun the rear tires from the start before he backed off the throttle. Alexander took his car straight down his lane.

Left Lane: Todd Lesenko Runs 4.298/270.05, Now #3
Right Lane: Jim Head Runs 4.107/301.60, Now #1

Lesenko's crew had trouble getting the body of his car down after they started the engine. By the time they got it down, Head had already made his burnout and was backing up. Lesenko made an abbreviated burnout and staged. Both drivers kept their cars straight but Lesenko's car started dropping cylinders at mid track.

Left Lane: Tony Pedregon Runs 5.219/146.48, Now #6
Right Lane: Alexis DeJoria Runs 4.165/294.95, Now #2

Pedregon got to mid track when his car started losing cylinders and trailing smoke. DeJoria took her car down the middle of her lane to move into the number two spot in the order for now.

Left Lane: Bob Tasca III Runs 9.742/80.44, Now #8
Right Lane: Matt Hagan Runs 4.098/297.35, Now #1

Tasca's rear tires went up in smoke as soon as he launched. Hagan's car popped the blower as he crossed the finish line.

Left Lane: John Force Runs 4.114/307.65, Now #3
Right Lane: Jeff Arend Runs 4.137/306.95, Now #4

Force and Arend had clean, straight runs to move the third and fourth spots in the qualifying order.

Left Lane: Johnny Gray Runs 7.397/82.20, Now #11
Right Lane: Robert Hight Runs 4.113/308.92, Now #3

Gray got to mid track when he smoked the rear tires and shut it down. Hight went down the groove to move into number three.

Left Lane: Courtney Force Runs 4.091/311.99, Now #1
Right Lane: Tim Wilkerson Runs 4.150/284.15, Now #7

Force took over the top spot in the qualifying order with a nice run down the track. Wilkerson's run looked okay but was only quick enough to put him into the number seven spot.

Left Lane: Cruz Pedregon Runs 4.034/313.00, Now #2
Right Lane: Mike Neff Runs 4.026/315.93, Now #1

Two good runs put Neff and Pedregon in the one and two spots in the order for now. This was a career best ET for Neff.

Left Lane: Jack Beckman Runs 4.121/308.28, Now #8
Right Lane: Ron Capps Runs 7.485/88.37, Now #17

Capps smoked the rear tires at 330 feet and clicked it off. Beckman had some tire shake but drove through it.

Old exhaust on my Trans Am on a cold morning
A relative recorded this on a cold morning, this is the system that was on the car when I first bought it. Although it sounded awesome, it was too loud (109 dB) for Australian road registration and the look of the resonators (incorrectly installed) did not suit a Trans Am! I now have a single system for the time being, but it will be replaced with a dual twin system very soon ... Those QLD number plates IMA84 are FOR SALE ... . .

1967 Triumph Spitfire EV Conversion - Student Project
Mechanical Engineering Students from the University of Colorado Denver spent the Summer of 2009 converting a broken down 1967 Triumph Spitfire into a 100% Electric Vehicle. Our EV conversion can reach a top speed of 75 MPH and has a maximum range of 40 miles (of average city driving) all with an overnight charge (8-10 hours) on a standard 110 Volt outlet. We completed the entire conversion for under $10,000 including almost $2,000 of restoration work, all in about 8 weeks. For more information on this project please visit

ReBirth Auto's Fully Electric 1978 Porsche Carrera- 2 WarP 9's - Inside and Drive
This is the inside of the custom built fully electric vehicle built by Rebirth Auto in St. Petersburg, FL. It is a Porsche Carrera from 1978 which these guys put some serious time and effort into. This is one amazing system that uses tons of the Headway 10ah lithium cells and accelerates like a bat out of hell. It uses 2 WarP 9in motors in series running off of a single Soliton 1 from Evnetics. It outputs 400hp and 600ftlbs of torque with the conservative setting they run to help save their clutch. Thanks to all of the guys out there for being such wonderful hosts, we will be doing just about all of our electric business through those two companies. Copyright P2 Design Technologies 2011

Porsche 911 EV - First drive
After 10 months of work, the electric Porsche is now drivable. This video shows the maiden voyage. Here is a link to the build log:

My Electric Porsche 914
UPDATE: Wow. I made this for college applications 3 years ago and lost the password to the account. I had no idea it had become this popular. I was gonna delete it but perhaps I'll make a second one first. ALSO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED: Since I went off to college, the car has been collecting dust. I'm the only one who ever drove it. So if someone is looking for a project, get in touch. My father and I haven't had the heart to get rid of something we put so much time into but it really could use someone who is more attentive to it. I'm Harrison and this is a video showing a test ride in my electric 914. I, influenced by Tesla Motors, converted this with my father, a physicist. The kit we bought was NOT very well designed. We made many improvements. Specs: 200 volt Li-ion battery pack, 48 cells - Thundersky Batteries DMOC 445 Motor Controller - Azure Dynamics 3-Phase A.C. Motor - Azure Dynamics Close to original curb weight Sorry to say that we haven't quite tested its full capabilities. So far I've driven it at 55mph, but it could go way above that -- 70 or 80 perhaps. The range is hardest to test because you have to run the battery all the way out which makes it hard to get back. 60 miles before recharge is what we've done which is a week of driving. I'll update when we do more range/speed tests. If we could do it again we would make better purchasing decisions and actually design it before the purchase. sells kits and individual parts. Feel free to ask questions!

I went to bed and woke up 9 hours later feeling completely refreshed. I couldn't work out what I'd done differently except that I'd dabbed a little bit of this serum on my temples before I nodded off. Since then it's become part of my bedtime routine. The smell is very pleasant and relaxing and puts you in the mood for sleep.

This is my favorite sleep product of all time. I was a skeptic, but this involves aromatherapy along with bodily absorption directly into sweet spots connected to your brain. I usually take forever to fall asleep, but with this I was knocked out within minutes. I tell everyone I know to get this product and will continue to buy it for myself.

Well, I thought this one is pretty cool... and useful;) Something we d20 Future players really have to appreciate. There's not much around in terms of full-fledged campaings for our system, but this one manages to almost impress me, and in a positive way, too. Not Elysium Nebula but I still found it useful as source of inspiration.

Full Frontal Froyo Caught Running on DROID X?

Another Droid X Froyo sighting.   And this time we have a picture of the full phone instead of just a screenshot.  Anyone else feeling even more skeptical about this one than the last though?  Same baseband and system version as the 2.1 Droid X we all currently have seems a little odd.  We would normally expect both of those to be updated.  (Shrug.)

I’m starting to get the feeling that we’ll be seeing these popping up on a daily basis until the OTA finally rolls out.  Aren’t you?

So we’ve got an “official” Incredible Android 2.2 leak, 2 shots of the Droid X “allegedly” running it and who knows how many builds for the Droid 1 in the wild.  I guess next Friday is starting to look more and more legit.

Source:  Engadget

  • I think It will be a Ten inch Behemoth that will put all others to shame. If Flash works on these Droid phones…thanks

  • I agree with you.Good post. I like your blog and have already bookmarked

  • Csilva

    This guy has it!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH!!!!!!!

  • Csilva

    This guy has it!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH!!!!!!!

  • Wonder why it has an old baseband…

  • Wonder why it has an old baseband…

  • Just a thought but couldn't someone just edit the build.prop file to get the versions to say anything they want?

  • Maizekid

    I can't wait. I ran a quadrant on my droid x and it was like 1200 average. Imagine with froyo………, nice!

  • EggoEspada

    The .2 is off. lol.
    Very obvious because the Build # and Baseband is still the same.
    But I still don't doubt that the Droid 1, Droid Inc. and Droid X are going to have Froyo within a week or two.

  • Up2bcrazy

    That pic / device is not running Froyo. All the info on that screen is completely wrong. Somebody modded the build prop of the 2.1 SW. The screen shot posted over a MyDroidWorld is in fact Froyo running on the X tho that is a FACT.

  • Mrpicolas

    Wish these people with Photoshop would make more cool icons for android rather than waste our time

  • AnDroidSepTIX

    DUDE You know what I did today I took a picture of my DROID X and photoshopped 2.2 so everyone thinks I got the froyo. Im Freaking awesome. Now every one is looking at a picture with my hand holding my phone. Only if they knew what I do with that hand.

  • El El Kool J

    Full Frontal? Kellex you can't be posting these “X” rated photos like this 😛

  • El El Kool J

    Off Topic: Assurion claims to have a huge shipment of D1 to replace any misplaced or broken or whatever D1

  • went to get my droid x today!! they wouldn't let me upgrade b/c my upgrade isn't until next mon. but the chick said they had 10 Droid X in-stock

  • Was mad as hell this morning! Went to see if they would move my early upgrade up to today (it's next mon.) they said it was a “No Go” and i would have to wait to order my Droid X but the chick said they had 10 in stock! (weird) Though they weren't shipping until 8/3? (Which is the day after my upgrade Blah!!)

  • Gtavc200

    Ummm…why hasnt PSX4DROID been mentioned on here??? It's clearly running on this Droid X in the notification bar. It runs very well on my regular rooted Droid.

    • That's not psx4, thats mobile defense…

  • OMG they are Death gripping it!!!

  • Ford5pt0

    I think they're both fake, the other screenshot says “Android version” and this one says “Firmware version,” and the 2.2 is obviously off too…

  • ericsorensen

    I can't wait to show our company's flash website on my X to all the i*phone users here at work – and they are 100% i*phone here in the office excpet me and my womper Droid X.

    And I agree with the others – this looks fake. I am still hopeful we will get FROYO next month, but I'm sure it will be later in the month that we would like…

  • Bill

    Froyo will be rolling out next week…be patient fellow droidians. I will add this though, and mark my words…
    Motorola will be coming out with the Mother of all tablets come the end of the year. It will be a Ten inch
    Behemoth that will put all others to shame. If Flash works on these Droid phones, which I believe is their guinea
    pig for the upcoming tablet, there will be no need for the iPhone on Verizon, and Verizon will have the same apocalyptic data nightmare as AT&T is having now.

    • ericsorensen

      I am hoping you are correct, Bill. But not that part about the 3G Apocalypse….

      • jxcgunrunna

        It will be 4G so that should spread some of the coverage from 3G to 4G.

  • If only I didn't root my droid months ago and wasn't on my 6th froyo rom by now boy would I be exited loll

  • Hogasswildmc

    Like I said in your previous post, if it is real, it is probably a 2.2 UI on top of the 2.1 OS so Motorola can say it's their version or interpretation of 2.2. Benchmarking will give us the real answer.

  • nick o

    i find it really gay that wuth such great gpu performance on the droid x the launcher isnt 3d

  • fake.. the 2.2 is obviously shopped

  • craig1989

    definitely fake, engadget wants to just cause a stir..

  • I do not think this is legit. The 2.2 is not lined up with the firmware version text. All other text are lined up. Look at your phone and you will see 2.1 lined up. Looked at other phones running 2.2, the text are lined up. Someone just copy and pasted 2.2 from another screen from another phone.

    http://yfrog.com/msfakefroyoj Looked i just fixed it to look a little better but still fake

    • kellex

      Yeah we're all pretty sure this bad boy is faked.

      Why is it again that people do this? When you talk about toolboxes in Mom's basement, things like this make that cliche never go away.

      • I was excited until i looked harder. The signs are getting more and more real until this. I guess someone wanted to get noticed. But still love the X.

  • LobbyDizzle

    lol @ the title.

  • house

    Def. fake. The 2's are different. Obviously these folks that do this have no life.

    cant believe it until i receive the update myself or someone i know from verizon comes and says that froyo is coming out within the next two weeks or so. (time to check my own resources)

  • joed5122

    Am I the only one who thinks the 2.2 under firmware is photoshopped? The second 2 looks a little slanted.

    • Sdk_1052

      I agree the 2.2 looks a little off compared to the rest.

  • uhm. wouldn't the System Version be higher than 604? thats the version they just pushed out last week.

  • root4life

    im wonderin how the un rooting process is goin to go

    • Droidzilla

      But I thought you were rooted for life . . .

      • root4life

        lmao. good point but i was curious for those who will want to unroot for the official OTA update. plus its always good to know just incase uhave to change out ur phone or whatever at a verizon store so ur not screwed

    • jhankg

      You don't have to unroot to receive the 2.2 OTA. You will still receive the update and it will likely cause you to lose root. The only reason you have to unroot the Droid to receive updates is because the custom recovery blocks the updates.

DL Daily Driver: The Android Phones We’re Using Today

In this business, we change phones a lot. From one month to the next, we could go through three phones or we may be waiting for the next wave, which means we’re locked into a single personal favorite for an extended amount of time. Since we are always testing the next thing, readers often wonder what’s in our pocket at the moment. In the past, you’d have to guess based on photos we feature in posts or by hearing us talk about them on the DL Show. And that’s why this post has been born.

This is our DL Daily Driver list. It’s a list of the phones we’re using at the moment, along with the launcher we prefer, 5 apps we can’t live without, and a quick note or two on why this phone is along for the ride (even if temporarily).

We will also update this post regularly, assuming we continue to change phones regularly. We’ll even toss a shortcut to the post in our sidebar on the main page, so that you can quickly find it.

nexus 6p white

Current phone:  Nexus 6P in white (Unlocked, AT&T)

Launcher: Nova Launcher

Why this phone:  It’s been almost a year since I updated this, but I have settled at the end of 2015 on the Nexus 6P. After using the Galaxy S6, Moto X Pure, and Galaxy Note 5 more than all other phones, this is the phone that does everything I need it to. The 6P has a great camera, beautiful design, solid battery life, and runs stock Android in its purest form. This is the best phone of 2015 and probably will continue to be for months to come.

Previous phone:  Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy Note 5, LV V10, Nexus 5X, and Moto X Pure Edition

Last Updated November 30, 2015.

moto x pure edition review-16

Current phone:  Moto X Pure Edition (AT&T)

Launcher:  Google Now Launcher.

5 must-have apps:  Instagram, Simple, Fenix, Shooty Skies, Google Opinion Rewards.

Why this phone:  This year was crazy in terms of the amount of excellent phones to choose from. While my vote for POTY (phone of the year) will likely go to the Nexus 6P, I absolutely love the Horween leather on the backside of this Moto X. The battery life is solid, camera is better than average, and the performance is well rounded. Once this phone receives Android 6.0, it will be a true beast.

Previous phone:  Samsung Galaxy Note 5.

    Can anyone share the wallpaper used on Kellen’s Sony Xperia Z2?

  • Nathaniel McAuliffe

    Where did you get the Z2?? Loving the reviews of it and hoping to get it to replace my Bionic.

  • ki11ak3nn

    Hoping to make my daily driver the OnePlus One pretty soon. If not I’m sure I’ll be going the route of the M8.

  • Respect Kellen.

  • Alex siuda

    no one using the htc m8?! or even going back to it?!

  • Rob Schoenfeld

    This site is becoming one of my favorite go to’s for daily news and articles. Well Done my friends. I’ve used the following Android device as daily drivers: Nexus One, Samsung Galaxy, My Touch 4g, LG G2X, HTC Sensation, Moto Droid X, Moto Razr Maxx, Galaxy S3, HTC Droid DNA, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S4, LG G2, and now the HTC One M8. By far my two favorite phone have been the Nexus One, LG G2, and HTC One M8.

  • Mel

    Still using a Nexus One with CM. Works fine as a daily driver, but its time to upgrade.

  • Mailbox as a must-have app?

    I installed this the day it came to android and almost immediately uninstalled it. I can’t live without Gmail’s intelligent categorization into social, promotions, etc.

  • Bryan

    I’d be curious to know why Kellen left the Moto X for the Nexus 5. What finally won you over? I love my Moto X, just curious to what the Nexus 5 has.

    • Nikuliai

      Size, “after reviewing the M8 the X just looked like a toy”, the N5 is more like middle ground being still an amazing phone (wouldn’t trade my X tho)

      It does have better camera too btw :B

    • I’d say the display. Love the full HD LCD on the N5. Camera also slightly better.

      • Josh Meade

        I prefer the Amoled display on the x with deeper blacks and more saturated colors

    • Josh Meade

      Personally I would go with the gn5 if I weren’t on Verizon bbut I would miss having an amoled display and a great bass punches speaker…

  • Nicholas Ruiz

    Battery life on the S5 needs help? It’s one of the best things about the device. I can get through two days with medium use. Easily a full 24 hours with heavy use. Not to mention the two battery saving modes that could stretch it out even longer.

    • Nikuliai

      I got 2 days too with my X with medium use before KitKat, 3 when brand new (but the battery is less durable now), considering the size of the S5 battery I would expect a little more life, especially considering I’m using active display and I have voice controls and the twist thing on my X

      I can’t talk about battery saving modes since I never use those :B

  • Bionicman

    Just started using Plex. always heard how good it was but never tried it until recently and i’m very impressed. especially with Chromecast support it rocks!

    • My favorite app right now. 🙂

  • MikeD675

    Hopefully they can get the Xperia Z2 to review.

  • IcerC

    So Eric, why Cerberus when you already have both android device manager and Motorola’s built in lost device finder?

    • Cerberus offers a LOT more options and features that come in handy when locating a presumably stolen phone. Not just the location, but many other nifty things.

  • annaarron

    Anyhow Samsung Gakaxy S5 is fails to impress their users… see here goo.gl/oGoRqD

  • DanWazz

    Remember when the only color android phones came in were black/dark silver?

  • Jes Marwaha

    Nexus 5? 🙁

  • MichaelFranz

    Have you ever thought of going back to the OG droid for a few days just to remember what it was like to have single core, under 1GHz, cheap display and slide keyboard.

    only to remember how great this was back when it dropped 🙂

    And not to forget, only 3G speeds

    • SplashMTN

      I turned mine on about a month ago and it was at least a minute, but probably more like 2, before I could do anything on it – including unlock it. I’m not sure what launcher I was running, but it was so slow. Makes me really appreciate how far we’ve come in the last 4 years.

    • calculatorwatch

      I remember only pain from my last few months with the OG Droid. Too many different roms and kernals and useless apps slowed it to a crawl. And not just a crawl, a zombie-with-both-legs-and-one-arm-blown-off crawl.

      It makes me feel better whenever I’m waiting for the GNex to do something. I think wow this is slow, but at least it’s not THAT slow.

      • T_Dizzle

        Factory reset then run CM11 and you’re good to go with the GNex.

        • calculatorwatch

          Yeah I really shouldn’t complain. I got the phone because it would be easy to unlock and I haven’t done anything to it yet. I bet with some work I could keep it running for another year.

          • T_Dizzle

            The only reason I upgraded recently is because even with a new battery it couldn’t last a day anymore plus it had LTE and other connectivity issues.

  • Sergio Bridgett

    no Note 3 love makes me sad.

    • jim

      Love my Note 3. Not sure if I will ever root and custom it

    • Rod

      Not everyone digs cheap build and recycled plastic.

    • JeffColorado

      Awful camera, at least for a phone that expensive. My sister hates the camera too, but loves the Note 3 otherwise.

  • Jeremy_Bowling

    This is HTC’s problem in a nutshell. Great reviews, everybody loves the build quality but few people want it as their daily driver.

    • Jeff Miller

      I do….until Moto reveals there next phone, AKA Moto X2

    • Tyler Lawhon

      It’s not so much that, but at the time of writing this, everyone was already done with the m8 review and had moved on to the s5 review. Also, if this had been written a week or so ago Tim and Kellen would’ve both said HTC

    • I’d use it as my daily driver if I had the money to buy one right now.

    • Johnny Steele

      I got it pretty much because of this. I was tired of fighting for it at my store against the Galaxy. So, I bought it! And I absolutely love it.

  • Sjschwar

    The website is called droid life, yet no one uses a droid…

    • Jeff Miller

      They all use Android..you are the one talking about Verizon marketing of the droid.

    • Pedro

      Maybe the DROID line isn’t worthy of a daily driver, if you have access to any phone.

    • rodney11ride

      Droid maxx HD… You guys

  • akazerotime

    Where is Picolas?

  • Steve

    Gotta send my phone in to Sony for repair, may be there up to 14 business days….any chance you can lend me a T-Mobile compatible phone to use in the meantime? I’ll pay for shipping both ways! Maybe I should start a phone rental service for folks in this situation…

    I guess the S5 wins the current flagship contest among the DL staff.

    • Rodeojones000

      These comments were never funny.

      • Pedro

        10:1 upvotes proves you… wrong.

        • Yes, the majority is always right.

          • Nikuliai

            It is… or it will kill you and then be right, or at least that’s what History books say

    • Nikuliai

      I think Apple is (or was, not really in the loop with the last iOS) a pretty good OEM IF you don’t care about the system being closed, I like to mess around with my phones so I’d never go iOS but they have solid features, they lack some key features too, but the overall package is good, so I get why Ron stays with Apple, I don’t particularly like the system but I get why some like it, I got way more customization in Android, but we do lose many things in the way

      • BenG

        I’m actually very interested to see what apple will do with their “iPhablet” I’m hoping they come up with some cool software features to use the extra real estate, I would be surprised if it’s just a big iPhone, and like it or not once Apple does something it generally becomes industry standard. Also it sounds like they might have some cool hardware for their “iWatch” from the rumors and unlike Samsung Apple won’t throw a halfassed product out there and hope it works, I would almost guarantee it will be the best smartwatch when it launches.

        • Nikuliai

          I’m kinda looking forward to the watch, the i(phablet/phone/pad) doesn’t interest me that much because I always found kind of a pain in the ass to share things without having to send it to the cloud, and besides I’m not that into big phones, the X fits right into my pocket and that’s comfy for me, although if I were to ignore that I would hope Apple goes with some cool software functionalities like the ones in the Note 3, that’s the only high end samsung device I kinda praise, they added useful stuff for work on that thing, so I guess a phablet like that would be interesting.

          The watch is a hype to me, I want them to release theirs, I’m most likely gonna go Moto anyway but I wanna see what are they going to offer, I’m not gonna switch to iOS but I would hope the watch is compatible with both OS like the Pebble since it attacks a bigger market (and gives me more options… to me right now the only player doing the right things in watches is Motorola, and I’m most likely gonna get that watch, but it’s nice to see some competition first)

          • BenG

            The tech fanboy in me really wants to get a smartwatch, but the rational side of me says they’re not ready for prime time yet. The way its sounding to me the iWatch might be what the Samsung Fit should of been. The Moto360 is sexy as hell but for me personally I think I want some fitness sensors plus I guess it might have a UV sensor and I’m pasty so if it could tell me i’m getting sunburned go inside that’d be great. I’m like you though there is no way I’m switching my phone to iOS.

          • Nikuliai

            same here, I know it won’t be their prime, I even bought a new analog watch (crappy, but beautiful and similar in size) just to keep me from buying a smartwatch (I was really horny with the chinese extra cheap android watches) and it worked to some extent, but I don’t think I’m gonna be able to resist that sexyness lol

            I share the fitness sensors parts, but to be honest I still wouldn’t use it while exercising unless I’m running, I know sweating a lot doesn’t do much good to the metal in the watch, it’ll most likely be stainless and IP67, but still, it’s expensive, I’m gonna take care of it, I think I’m gonna get a HR band if I want HR tracking since most cellphone OEMs don’t really know how to make a decent heart rate monitor, I don’t really trust a monitor on the “watch” side of my wrist so I’m most likely gonna pass on that part (I want it but I get that it’s not really that important to non runners and I’m not a runner, I do static cycling, weights and now the kinect nike program, which is pretty awesome, but you don’t really move from home)

            The UV sensor idea is really cool btw, that would be awesome to have (I had UV11+ since december to march here tho so it would ring all the time), it would be really useful to a bigger crowd

            Btw I really liked the Moov, Kellen threw the link in another post’s comment section and it looks pretty awesome

          • Thomas

            OMG…Your comments are wayyyy tooooo f..cking lonnnnng

          • Nikuliai

        • Elliot Kotis

          LOL. Just LOL. Apple doesnt come up with any good features now.

  • No M8 love?

    • Nikuliai

      not really S5 love either, they are just using it because they’re reviewing it, I feel like those 2 are good phones but lack something to keep me interested, and it looks like that’s the case too with them

  • qudwls6933

    Where is Ron??

    • Thomas

      Like you really have to ask 😉

    • Tony Byatt

    • mo

      It’s the iPhone (probably every generation). At least that’s what he said some time ago.

  • rawson815

    Like this a lot I think this should become a droid life thing once a month or two

  • Joe Bertolino

    Dog ate my Galaxy. I’m using an OG Incredible. WHATWHAT

    • discopunkk

      The OG Incredible is still my favorite phone I’ve owned. I just loved everything about it, except Sense. But it had S-Off so I never had to see it again.

    • Dick Ripple

      Man, that phone was my pride and joy back in the day. It kicks ass with CM7 and launcher pro.

  • mcdonsco

    Kyles comment on the lg g2 specifically not being creaky baffle me as that was one of the things I didn’t like about the g2, It WAS creaky.

    • Jeremy_Bowling

      I thought that was interesting as well. Just swapped my S4 for an S5 and neither of them are creaky. Maybe he got one with a bad back cover?

      • Jay Ochs

        my S3 was creaky, with body-shifting issue. my S4 was creaky as all hell around the edges bc of the taped-on chrome ring. my GS5 was creaky because of, yet again, the body-shifting issue.

        my G2 is 100% solid in the hand, with no noises, creaks, and it actually feels like a well-built device, unlike the s3/s5. S4 was better feeling than both.

        • Rod

          G2 is cheaply built with low-cost plastic.

          Don’t let be fooled.

    • Ronald Lockwich

      That’s what I’m hating about my One M8…too creaky.

  • bwb2185

    No one using a Nexus 5 interesting….

    • Cheese Sandwich

      Kellen said he can’t wait to get back to his Nexus 5. He just needs to finish the s5 review first.

      • bwb2185

        Still no one is using a N5 today

        • MichaelFranz

          simply for review purposes. If you asked this question 2 month ago or 2 weeks from now you would see it on there.

          • bwb2185

      • Maxim∑

        so he hates the S5 that much lol

        • JBartcaps

          Did you read what he wrote?

          • Maxim∑

            no lol.. read it now

          • Pedro

            Bah. Why bother reading when you can comment on the article?

    • Marcus

      Kellen said he will be going back ASAP right after the S5

  • realfoxm

    Maybe a poll for us?

The importance of Hiring a Fitness Trainer

Monday , 8, June 2015 Comments Off on The importance of Hiring a Fitness Trainer

Some people tend to thinks that there is no need to hire a Fitness Trainer when you can do the same workout for free, without having to pay for a trainer. This is, of course not true, as hiring a Fitness Trainer who did his studies at NZ personal trainer courses will show its effects. Take celebrities for example, their fitness goals are easily achieved thanks to their trainers. Here are some reasons why you should work with fitness trainers.

1) One of the most evident advantages of hiring a Fitness Trainer is that you get individual attention. When becoming a personal trainer your fitness coach has learned how to understand your body and your fitness goals. According to this knowledge, they will design your exercise and diet program such that you will be able to achieve you goals in the minimum time possible. They will ensure that the energy you spend in doing the workout, is employed in only the right exercises and is not wasted.

2) Secondly, Fitness trainers will keep you dedicated. When you are doing the workout on your own, you may skip a few moves, or not watch your diet, indulge in bad eating habits. However, when you have a Fitness Trainer to answer the other day, you will be less indulgent. They will help you to keep up, and not lose sight of your goal. They will motivate and encourage you to work harder and do your best.

3) Quite a number of times, when people work out on their own, they tend to overwork themselves, ignoring the subtle signals their body gives them. This can cause injuries and harm in the long run. A Fitness Trainer will help prevent such incidents. They will also show you the right position to do the exercises in, the right number of repetitions and other details that are vital in order to achieve your goals.

4) Lastly, fitness training allows a lot of flexibility. You can work out at home if that is what is convenient to you. You can arrange anytime to work out, according to your work and other schedules. A trainer will be flexible regarding the workout itself too. They will add variety and spice it up if you find the routine boring. Therefore, fitness trainers in are a sure shot way to achieve success regarding your fitness. They are the perfect combination of qualification, education and training.

If you still doubt on Fitness trainers skills, check out their courses on and you will see by yourself.

Deriving Happiness from Your Workout

Saturday , 13, December 2014 Comments Off on Deriving Happiness from Your Workout

When you are working out according to a challenging schedule set by your personal trainer Balmoral and achieving your fitness goals, then you will usually also experience a newfound sense of happiness and confidence that will permeate your very existence. You will find yourself fully involved, experience a sensation of energised focus, and revel in the enjoyment of performing the activity.

Complete Absorption in the Flow of Activity Is the Key to Enjoyment

Contemporary workplaces, usually being a concentration of stressful activities, is not quite conducive to contentment, however it is relatively easier to find it when completely immersed in working out. One can experience a sense of complete harmony with every part of the body and the physical sensations each part experiences when subject to the challenges of overcoming muscular limitations. Once you achieve harmony in working out, you can easily extend to this to other aspects of your life too.

personal trainer Balmoral

Select a Challenging Activity That Is Achievable

It is no secret that performing an activity that is challenging yet achievable can be extremely rewarding. Not only are you driven out of your comfort zone but you get to enjoy the warm feeling of being able to overcome personal limits that you had thought to be unbridgeable. Managing your happiness quotient depends on how well you can set targets for yourself that are stimulating and inspirational. If you continually set yourself objectives that are so tough that you never achieve them, you will get completely demoralized and depressed.

Unification of Awareness and Action

Most people puzzle over doing their workouts and also trying to figure out a proper workout plan. Since this is counterproductive, you should ideally focus upon doing the exercises in the proper manner and lave the matter of planning the routine to somebody else like your fitness trainer. This will enable you to get focussed on achieving what has been set out. In case you are working independently then it is advisable to break up the activity into two distinct parts; the planning and the doing parts and not try and mix the two.

Develop a Sense of Purpose and Concentrate on Achieving It

Before setting out an action plan, it is essential that you define your fitness goals. These goals should ideally be split into a long-term and a number of short-term results. Chalk out an action plan that will let you achieve them in such a way that you are able to challenge your physical limits and overcome them successively in a relatively short time. When working out, use a space that will let you concentrate on achieving your goals. Do not let yourself get distracted.

Take Charge of Your Fitness Destiny

Working out is an activity that will let you take full control of how much and how fast you can achieve your goals. As you graduate from exercising alone under the supervision of personal trainers to a class with many more participants, you will find yourself gaining in confidence about the way you handle your body. With an enhanced concentration-level you will find yourself following your Dangerously Fit personal trainer in complete oblivion of the others without any hint of self-consciousness.

How your Personal Trainer Can Ensure you get a Good Cardio Workout

Tuesday , 26, August 2014 Comments Off on How your Personal Trainer Can Ensure you get a Good Cardio Workout

As a health-conscious person, you are aware of the benefits of cardiovascular training for your heart and overall good health. Maybe you are already doing some common cardio workouts to keep your heart healthy and strong. However, as a layman are you sure about the efficacy of those workouts? Do you have that expert knowledge to decide which cardio workouts suit your condition and can provide the best results? Don’t waste your time searching for a cardio workout programme that works to get you ready for an obstacle course such as Sydney mud run. Hire a personal trainerinstead to know more about how you can enjoy a good cardio workout that really delivers the result you desire.

Different types of Cardiovascular Exercises

There are different categories of cardio workouts which make it so difficult for a lay person to select the right one to optimise performance at Toughmudder Sydney. Some exercises such as rowing or jogging fall under the category of slow but steady aerobic training. Then you have anaerobic training that comprises short bursts of intense cardio workouts interspersed with low-intensity exercises. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and sprints are common example of this category.

A third option is to combine both the above categories and create a balance of aerobic and anaerobic workouts for best result.

Understandably, when you have little knowledge about the details of each category, you can do more harm to yourself than good. Only a Toughmudder Sydney personal trainercan pick out the right exercises that will ensure you have a good cardio workout.

Sydney mud run

How a Personal Trainer can help you get a Good Cardio Workout

A personal trainer has years of experience in dealing with clients with similar physical condition and fitness goals as you. He is fully aware of the types of cardio workouts that will suit your individual specifications such as age, gender, weight, present stamina (or lack of it), diet and so on. Each individual is different and your personal trainer will create your own cardio workout keeping in mind certain things about you.

Your Personal Trainer will pick Workouts you Enjoy

Exercise is not a one-day affair. If you really want to strengthen your heart, build stamina and boost metabolism, you will have to work out regularly. However, not everybody loves exercising regularly because of the strains and discipline associated with it. To make your task easier, your trainer will always pick up exercises that you will really enjoy doing.

Your Personal Trainer will Avoid Workouts that Over-strain you

Safety and moderation are very important if you really want to continue with exercising. Any exercise you do (including cardios) must be within your tolerance limit. Excessive exercise or picking workouts that is too strenuous for you might result in injury or even fracture or dislocation. Only a trained instructor has the knowledge and experience to understand how hard and how far you can push yourself without causing damage.

Your Personal Trainer will Select Workouts that are in Consistent with your Fitness Goals

As mentioned above, there are different categories of cardiovascular workouts and various types of workouts under those categories. Exercising haphazardly without proper focus will never give you the desired result. Only a fitness trainer can ensure that cardio programme you are following is really effective and in consistent with your fitness goals.

Rx drug information, pharmaceutical research, clinical trials, news, and more

Aplenzin (Bupropion Hydrobromide) - Summary

Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of APLENZIN or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber [see Warnings and Precautions ].

Serious neuropsychiatric reactions have occurred in patients taking bupropion for smoking cessation [see Warnings and Precautions ]. The majority of these reactions occurred during bupropion treatment, but some occurred in the context of discontinuing treatment. In many cases, a causal relationship to bupropion treatment is not certain, because depressed mood may be a symptom of nicotine withdrawal. However, some of the cases occurred in patients taking bupropion who continued to smoke. Although APLENZIN is not approved for smoking cessation, observe all patients for neuropsychiatric reactions. Instruct the patient to contact a healthcare provider if such reactions occur [see Warnings and Precautions ].

Aplenzin (bupropion hydrobromide), an antidepressant of the aminoketone class, is chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor, or other known antidepressant agents.

Aplenzin (bupropion hydrobromide extended-release tablets) is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder.

Special exhibition will feature Madison Scouts Alumni on August 9

For fans planning to be in Madison, WI, for the 34th Annual Drum Corps International Championships, now is the time to plan your “free” time so you can attend a very special evening of entertainment on Wednesday, August 9.

The Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Corps, a 240-member drum and bugle corps assembled specifically for the 2006 season and to perform at the DCI Championships on Friday evening, August 11 at the conclusion of the semifinals competition, has added one more appearance that fans won’t want to miss.

The event will be held at Mansfield Stadium, located on the campus of Memorial High School in Madison, WI, at the intersection of Gammon Road and Mineral Point Road on the far west side of town. The venue seats 5,000 people and four groups will be featured, including Madison’s division III representative, Capital Sound; the Madison Scouts; the visiting European corps, Jubal from Dordrecht, The Netherlands; and, of course, the Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Corps.

Food will be available for two hours prior to the gates opening at 7:00 PM, prepared by the Memorial High School Athletic Boosters. The first corps will step off promptly at 8:00 PM and the show should be concluded by 9:30 PM. All seating will be general admission and tickets are $10.00 and $20.00 for a family (two adults, up to four children under age 12). Fans should be prepared to pay cash as there will be no printed tickets, no checks accepted and no credit card charges.

“The Voice of DCI,” Brandt Crocker, will be the evening’s announcer.

A special seating area will be set aside on the 50 yard line at the top of the stadium so that members of the alumni corps can watch Capital Sound and the Madison Scouts, then the Madison Scouts will occupy the area in order to watch their brothers in the alumni corps perform their field show. Following the alumni corps performance, the Madison Scouts and the Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Corps will gather on the track, close to the first row of the stadium — and joined by any   alumni in the audience — to sing You’ll Never Walk Alone, the organization’s theme song en masse. More than 400 voices are expected to participate.

For most of the 1950s and 1960s, the tune from the movie “Carousel” was used in the Madison Scouts’ field show and subsequently has been used in concerts and occasionally sung by members of the corps at competitions in place of using bugles to play off the field during retreat. It is a unifying piece of music that carries great meaning to every one of the nearly 6,000 young men who have marched in the Madison Scouts and Madison Junior Scouts since the corps’ founding in 1938.

Among the large honor guard will be an original member of the corps, Richard Goldberg, who celebrated his 80th birthday recently. His son, Robin, still lives in Madison and was a member of the corps from 1973 to 1976. Father and son will be joined by a number of other father/son teams and at least one set of twins who marched together in the corps, Boyd and Bart Garey.

To conclude the evening, Madison Scouts Alumni Reunion Corps Director Randy Ferrie will present an enlarged check representing the profit from the show to Madison Drum & Bugle Corps Association, Inc. Executive Director Sal Salas as a significant and meaningful “connection” between the men who performed in the corps uniform over nearly seven decades, to the current members of the Madison Scouts who are now carrying on the traditions of the organization.

Nearly every one of the corps’ 68 seasons up to this year are represented in the alumni corps and there are even graduates from as recently as the 2005 season marching.
This is a night no one should miss.

Add Wednesday, August 9, to your Madison plans today!

Writers’ Poll: Albums of 2011 (50 – 25)

End of year lists are often laborious and predictable. By their very nature they can be bland countdowns to the inevitable. No matter how varied their tastes, if you put a bunch of music fans into a room and ask them to come up with a top fifty, what you’ll get is a brawl. Fantastic albums that few have heard of will lose out to mainstream efforts that most have tolerated. An Albums of Year feature that doesn’t include Beyonce, Lady Gaga or Bjork is just about as credible as a list that cites some completely unknown up-and-coming at Numero Uno. It's a simple equation. More people have heard of them - more people will vote for them.

For that reason I have to admit I launched into this poll with all the enthusiasm of a school kid in September, dutifully labelling her new textbooks. Votes began to come through; a lot of them for albums I favour, some for albums I had completely forgotten about, and others for releases that are not to my personal taste at all. Distressingly, I saw my top ten dwindle and get shoved to the back of the pile. DrunkenWerewolf’s Albums of the Year list began to look like a massacre of all things good and holy. I even considered fixing the results, but the democrat in me wouldn’t allow it.

I should have put more faith in the team, because as it turns out we’re an alright bunch. I think we've also managed to come up with an alternative list that rightfully honours major releases that didn't make it into the zine. In a roundabout way, what I’m saying is this: the list below reflects a group opinion. Fluff it up with talk of democracy and fairness, whatever - it’s a compromise. But in the same breath, it does something the zine deliberately avoids: it proves that actually, some of those pop stars deserve the attention they get. You can be signed to Universal and still make a decent album. And if *you* don't like that idea, you're doing yourself a disservice. Compromise or not, the list below is fair.

Below I’ve listed albums 50 through to 25. You’ll have to wait all of a weekend, full of chocolate and cider (hopefully not together), before you can read our top 25.

50// Fucked Up David Comes to Life

49// Shabazz Palaces - Black Up

48// Washed OutWithin and Without

47// Kitty, Daisy and Lewis - Smoking in Heaven

46// Claudia Brucken - Combined

45// Manchester Orchestra - Simple Math

44// dEUS - Keep You Close

43// WATERS - Out in the Light

“Out in the Light starts out far brasher and more aggressive than Port fans may expect; WATERS are rockier, heavier and altogether more jagged. Album opener “For the One” has a distinct Pixies kick to it before galloping into a thrashier chorus, and “O Holy Break of Day” has a flavour of Weezer circa 2001 in the vocals, with tumbling guitars and crashing percussion, almost verging onto noise territory at the track’s crux.” – Alice Slater

42// Peaking Lights - 936

41// Panda BearTomboy

40// Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes

39// Slow ClubParadise

“Lead single “Two Cousins” is potentially about incest and losing your memory, a disjointed piano has been thrown into the lot alongside looped and inaudible backing vocals. The rata-tat-tat of Rebecca’s percussion is mysteriously lo-fi, like a tin can tirelessly recorded in the hope of replicating a mistake. Paradise is a phenomenal effort, but there’s no doubt the musical precision has been conceived to dupe the listener into thinking it was a sporadic idea. The melody is the song and album’s saving grace; a persistent lilt that will have your limbs jerk in directions that I can’t reasonably describe on paper.” – Tiffany Daniels

38// Anton Barbeau - Empire of Potential

“The album really comes alive when giving way to the vibrating transcendentalisms of “The Un-Mothered Stone” and the Glam-Psychedelic stomp of “Fuzzchild” with its insane vocal percussion and guitars to knock socks feet and legs off.  This is surely one of Ant’s best tracks to date and truly captures the Apple Sun vibe.  Frankly, I love this endlessly creative and beautifully tailored album.  I also know that I’m going to love it more and more and more and more. “ – Elton Townend Jones

37// Cass McCombs - Wit's End

36// Lady Gaga - Born This Way

35// Camille - Ilo Veyou

34// Bjork - Bibliphilia

33// Main AttraktionzBlackberry Ku$h

32// Beyonce - 4

31// Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness

30// Moon Duo - Mazes

29// The Antlers - Bust Apart

28// Rob St JohnWeald

“Despite its often bleak subject matter and sprawling composition, Weald is a strangely compelling and absolutely engrossing listen from a promising new talent. Rob St. John is surely a name we’ll hear more frequently in 2012 and thereafter.”

27// Seahawks - VQ1: Spaceships Over Topanga Canyo

26// ElbowBuild a Rocket Boys

25// St VincentStrange Mercy

Poison Ivy

What is poison ivy?

Poison ivy, along with poison oak and sumac, is a non-flowering plant that can cause allergic reactions after skin contact, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Poison ivy is found throughout the United States and Canada, except for in the far West, desert areas and high altitudes.

What are the varieties of poison ivy?

There are two basic varieties of poison ivy: climbing (toxicodendron radicans), and nonclimbing (toxicodendron rydbergii). These can interbreed, however, and both varieties look similar, may grow in the same areas, and result in many of the same symptoms.

What are the causes?

Poison ivy is usually contracted by touching the leaves of the poison ivy plant and absorbing the oil present in the leaves, vines, and root. This oil, called urushiol, causes an allergic reaction after the first sensitizing exposure. Contact with poison ivy usually results in a reaction, typically an itchy, red rash with bumps or blisters.

Who is likely to get poison ivy?

Susceptible people who spend time around poison ivy are at risk. Also, poison ivy oils can cling to humans, animals and fabrics, and can be spread via secondary contact rather than by touching the plant itself. A reaction can also be triggered via inhaling smoke from a fire that contains poison ivy. Some people appear to be immune to poison ivy, and others can become immune over time, but immunity to poison ivy can come and go – never assume immunity will continue indefinitely.

What are the symptoms, how is it diagnosed, and how can you prevent its spread?

The allergic reaction to poison ivy usually starts with a small itchy area that grows into a rash that is itchy and red with bumps or blisters. It can appear wherever contact was made with the oils of the plant, typically exposed areas such as hands and arms, legs and feet. Since it can be transferred to other areas of the body, you should avoid touching other parts of the body immediately after exposure. However, once the rash has appeared, the oil has been absorbed and the chances of spreading the reaction to other people and other areas of the body are limited, although urushiol oils left on clothing and pets can still be transferred to skin. If liquid-filled blisters emerge, they contain mostly water and will not spread the rash they break.

Prompt treatment – within a few hours of exposure – can limit symptoms. Rinsing affected areas with plenty of cold water immediately after exposure can help. Washing with rubbing alcohol within the first few hours may also help remove the oil. An over-the-counter product known as Tecnu lotion also works well to remove the oil up to 24 hours after contact. Call your physician as soon as possible after exposure for early treatment options.

If the itching has begun to develop, run hot water – as hot as you can stand – on the affected areas. The itching will briefly become intense, but then will stop for several hours, as the nerves that convey the sensory information to the brain become overloaded and quit. Repeat the hot water treatment as necessary. Itching may also be relieved withcalamine lotion. Skin irritated by scratching can be soothed with aloe vera gel. Help prevent future cases of poison ivy by knowing what poison ivy looks like and avoiding it, and wearing protective clothing when in areas where it may be present.

What is the conventional poison ivy treatment?

Serious cases of poison ivy require medical supervision and prescription treatment – contact your physician if you run a fever of 101 degrees or higher, if blisters ooze pus, or if the rash is widespread or near sensitive areas such as eyes, mouth or genitals. Less serious cases of poison ivy can be treated with over-the-counter remedies such as creams that block the oil from getting into your skin.

What are the natural remedies for poison ivy Dr. Weil recommends?

Dr. Weil recommends witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) to treat poison ivy blisters. Available in liquid distillation, it is available at any drug store. It can be used by adults and children; apply topically as needed.

Temperature Rising

This summer is promising to be a hot one! Check out these tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for staying healthy in the heat.

  • Limit outdoor activity, especially midday when the sun is hottest. If you participate on a sports team, schedule workouts and practices earlier or later in the day when the temperatures tend to be cooler. Wear and reapply sunscreen as indicated on the package.
  • Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
  • Pace activity. Start activities slow and pick up the pace gradually.
  • Drink more water than usual and don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink more. Muscle cramping may be an early sign of heat-related illness.
  • Limit alcohol consumption when outdoors. Alcohol promotes dehydration and impacts your body’s ability to regulate its own temperature, which increases your risk of heat-related illness.
  • Seek medical care immediately if you or a friend are experiencing symptoms of heat-related illness.

I find it interesting/ encouraging that both of the two new schools are two-story. It is nice to see a little density in the plans, reducing the footprint and saving land for future expansions.

Tennis star Milos Raonic offers $25K to fix up...

Tennis star Milos Raonic offers $25K to fix up Thornhill courts

Top-ranked Canadian tennis player Milos Raonic has reportedly offered the city $25,000 to help fix up the courts in Thornhill where he honed his skills as a youngster.

But a decision about whether or not to accept that donation has been postponed due to some council members raising concerns about a proposal to rename the courts after the 23-year-old tennis star, in part, because of his generous gift.

Mr. Raonic could not be reached for comment.

But, according to Thornhill Councillor Alan Shefman, Mr. Raonic stopped by Hefhill Park one day and noticed the tennis courts he frequented in his youth were crumbling and in need of repair.

Then, about a month ago, Mr. Raonic’s father contacted Mr. Shefman “out of the blue,” with the offer.

The local councillor leapt at the opportunity and put forward a motion at Tuesday’s committee of the whole to accept the donation; move up the scheduled rehabilitation of the Hefhill Park tennis courts to 2015 and rename them the Milos Raonic tennis courts.

But that didn’t sit well with some of his fellow councillors.

Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua was concerned people could be “left with the impression” the city is renaming the tennis courts due to the $25,000 donation, not because Mr. Raonic, the first Canadian singles player to crack the ATP World Tour top 10, earned the honour.

He felt city council should make a decision on renaming the tennis courts as a separate matter from a decision about accepting the donation.

Regional Councillor Deb Schulte echoed that concern.

“If we feel it’s appropriate, we should name the courts after him for his achievements,” she said.

She was also uncomfortable about moving the Hefhill Park tennis courts ahead of other courts already in the queue to be repaired next year.

Mr. Shefman disagreed, calling the concerns “nitpicking.”

Mr. Raonic didn’t offer the donation in exchange for renaming the tennis courts, Mr. Shefman said. In fact, it was his idea.

And, he said, the proposal to accept the $25,000 and rename the courts, in part, because of that donation, meets the city’s current policies on naming facilities.

“He’s being very generous,” Mr. Shefman said. “There’s nothing really wrong with … recognizing his generosity.”

Ultimately, councillors voted to defer a decision on the matter until the next council meeting, scheduled for May 27.

Winnipeg man recovering from tropical shooting

Winnipeg man recovering from tropical shooting

WINNIPEG - For someone who was shot several times at point-blank range during a home invasion in the tropics, Les Lehmann is making a remarkable recovery.

Lehman, 64, says even the doctors who treated him after the attack in January at a small apartment complex in the Dominican Republic were surprised.

"The doctors were sort of shaking their heads the next day. They thought there were nine wounds in me and it turned out there were 10," Lehmann told reporters assembled Friday in the backyard of his son and daughter-in-law's home in suburban Winnipeg.

"But they said there were no bullets in me and (the thieves) didn't hit anything vital — didn't hit my head, didn't hit my chest, didn't hit my stomach."

Lehman was shot while he was hosting a group of Manitoba students who were doing humanitarian work. The attack was captured on surveillance video, which shows two men kicking open a door to Lehmann's residence and one entering.

Moments later, Lehmann is seen chasing one with a baseball bat and striking him. The second man emerges with a handgun. There is a brief struggle in which Lehmann tries to swing the bat at the armed man, who shoots several times. Lehmann falls and starts bleeding, the two men run off and help arrives several minutes later.

What is not shown on the video, Lehmann said, is an initial confrontation inside in which he grabbed a machete, was shot at and stomped on several times.

He never thought about surrendering.

"I was probably angry more than anything that two people would come and try to break into my place," he recalled as he spoke publicly for the first time about what happened.

"It never occurred to me to just lay down and let them do to me what they wanted to do."

Lehmann was initially taken to a hospital in the Dominican Republic. His family raised funds to cover the cost of his care, which topped $1,200 a day.

When he returned to Canada, he moved in with relatives. Now walking with a cane, he undergoes three or four hours of physiotherapy a day. He has plates in one arm and a leg. Nerve damage has made it hard for him to make a fist with one hand, but he is expecting to make a full recovery in the coming year or two.

He still has scars from two bullets that grazed his chest.

Lehmann has an easy smile and seems very much relaxed, but said the experience has affected him.

"If I'm watching TV and I see a gun come out, or if I'm watching the news and somebody gets shot, it affects me a little bit.

"When I see it now, it gives me a different feeling."

Scully humbled to return to Dodgers booth in '15

Scully humbled to return to Dodgers booth in '15

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Vin Scully poked fun at himself after word came out that he plans to return for his record 66th season in the Los Angeles Dodgers' broadcast booth next year.

"I agree with everybody else: It's a long time to be working at one job with no advancement," he said, smiling.

The 86-year-old Hall of Fame announcer, his red hair faded by the years but still in good health, continues to be thrilled describing the action on the field.

"It really is a privilege and good fortune to have this job," he said Wednesday. "I've loved it from Day One."

Scully was reminded of his love for the game in the third inning of Tuesday night's game against Atlanta. B.J. Upton tagged up at third and charged toward home on a fly ball to centre. Yasiel Puig used his cannon of an arm to throw home, with Upton scoring ahead of the tag.

"After that I sat back and thought that's the way you were the first day you started doing this game," he said. "You see this play building and it just gets to you. That play last night convinced me."

The Dodgers revealed Scully's return on Tuesday, when talking microphones featuring his dulcet tones were given away to fans. The crowd reacted with a standing ovation for Scully, who waved from his booth. The umpiring crew joined in the applause.

"It was very difficult last night, not only to stand there and hear and receive the ovation, but I still feel like I haven't done anything except show up every day at work," he said. "When I sat down, as quickly as I could, it was this overwhelming 'Thank God I can get back to doing the game.'"

Scully has never prepared words to say, only statistics to read on the air.

"I want it to be as honest as possible," he said. "There are a lot of times I drive home saying, 'Dummy, why didn't you say what you're thinking of right now?'"

Scully's consecutive years of service make him the longest-tenured broadcaster with one team in sports history. He calls all nine innings of the team's home games and road games in California and Arizona for the Dodgers' new television home on SportsNet LA, while the first three innings of his games are simulcast on the radio.

He acknowledged that the years have slowed him in some respects.

"Maybe I was quicker in coming up with an occasional good thought more so than now," he said. "Once in a while I'll blunder into a good line."

Scully said his decision to return was not influenced by the dispute between Time Warner Cable and other cable subscribers that is keeping 70 per cent of the Los Angeles television market from seeing the team's games so far this season.

Only customers of Time Warner and a couple of its partners have been able to watch, while subscribers of major providers such as DirecTV, Dish Network, Verizon and AT&T have been shut out. Even Scully can't watch road games since he lives in an area not served by Time Warner.

"It's heartbreaking not to be able to share with the entire community," he said.

Scully began his professional broadcasting career in 1950 with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He has called three perfect games, 25 World Series and 12 All-Star games. He was behind the microphone for Kirk Gibson's Game 1 homer in the 1988 World Series, Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Hank Aaron's record-setting 715th home run and Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters, including a perfect game.

After wrapping up his 30-minute chat with the media, manager Don Mattingly came into the room.

"I've got to follow that act?" he joked.

Mattingly is busy during games so he doesn't hear Scully, but fans often tell him what he's missing.

"It's like the gospel," he said. "The way he paints the picture is so cool."

Scully isn't sure he'll know when it's time to retire because, as he says, "I've never had the feeling."

What he does know is that once he bids farewell, he won't hang around. And unlike many of his listeners, to whom his voice has meant summer in the city for decades, he is unsentimental about leaving.

Scully ticks off the names of famed announcers Red Barber, Mel Allen, Jack Buck and Harry Caray who left their respective teams after years on the job.

"I'm not fooling myself," he said. "The Dodgers will roll right along merrily whether I'm here or not."

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is a very weird movie. Which is not to say it's not a very good movie as well, because it's very good indeed. But then, one should expect no less from director Jim Jarmusch, the man who brought us Down by Law, Mystery Train, Night on Earth and Dead Man. Written by Jarmusch for his star, Forest Whitaker, Ghost Dog tells the story of a solitary New York contract killer who lives on a tenement rooftop in Zen-like simplicity with an impressive arsenal of weaponry, a small shrine, and the sort of electronic gizmos that allow one to break into a car at a moment's notice. He adheres to the priciple of the book "Hagekura: The Way of the Samurai," and for eight years has served as the devoted retainer to an aging mafia foot-soldier named Louie (John Tormey), communicating with him only by carrier pigeon. But after a long string of perfect hits, one of his contracts goes very wrong — Ghost Dog kills a made man, and the don's daughter is a witness. As a matter of mob pride, the don (Henry Silva) orders Ghost Dog killed. In previous films, Jarmusch has looked at America through the eyes of a Hungarian (Stranger Than Paradise), an Italian (Down by Law), and a Japanese couple (Mystery Train). In a unique shift, Ghost Dog looks at American culture through the eyes of an American who is living by the ideals of a different, ancient culture, and Whitaker's assassin is the classic solitary hero, silently heroic and tragically doomed because of his single-minded adherence to his own personal code of ethics — in fact, Whitaker seems to single-handedly strip the usual Jarmusch pretensions from the film, delivering a quiet, poetic performance that is as impressive as it is simple. Artisan's DVD edition of Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) with audio in Dolby Digital 5.1, and features include the 30-minute doc "The Odyssey: The Journey into the Life of a Samurai," outtakes, an isolated score, trailers and TV spots, and a music video.
