We have a serious problem brewing with GPS navigation systems for automobiles and even motorcycles. There are however problems with this devise as a high tech toy are more serious than you might think. Ask anyone in a metro area who has bought a new car with one of those cool GPS upgrades for their SUV or new sports car. We have had our customers complain (customers of the carwash business, which is my profession). Oh they love the gadget, but they are under whelmed by the lack of data and streets, which are not listed. You see we have been seeing incredible suburban growth in many cities. Places near large DMA metros are a problem out in the middle class suburbs. In many areas such as outside...

Since it is still very early in the year, I will use this space to give you my trusty predictions for 2005. While none of these are guaranteed and any predictions are always fraught with risks, I'm reasonably sure the majority of them will prove to be quite accurate. They are based on my analysis of the personalities involved and the outcomes of similar situations from the past.(1) The Iraqi elections will go on as scheduled. This is the one I'm the most sure of. Barring some kind of cataclysmic event, Iraqis will go to the polls on January 30. Because of terrorist activity, which will only intensify as that date draws closer, it is anyone's guess as to how many Iraqis will actually go to the polls...

We recently purchased a new Hot Tub and Gazebo from Cal Spas in Minnesota. The purchase was not something we planned, just something that caught our eye when visiting the Minnesota State Fair. As a result we learned a few things that would have made our purchase smarter. In the end we're pleased with the decision but its easy to say now that all the work is done. In this article I'll outline the information I wish I had considered when making this purchase. I hope it helps you in your decision. The Tub This isn't going to be a detailed rundown on what to look for in a good tub or who to buy it from. I'll leave that to the other articles out on the internet.

The Oscar. It is the most prestigious award in the film industry. It is given out as a symbol of excellence. The best of the best are supposed to be the ones who get these little statues. But is it really like that in real life? Do the most deserving always get the awards or is Oscar nothing more than a popularity contest? While we will in no way attempt to answer that question, since it could never really be proved, we are going to take a look at some of Oscar's more dubious moments that left people wondering if this award is really nothing more than a poorly disguised popularity contest.You don't have to go any farther back than this past years ceremony when Brokeback Mountain was the...

It is not uncommon to hear that there are only a few who would prefer to make Minnesota their home. The reasons are obvious.

While people may not necessarily to choose to live year around in Minnesota and call it home, there are definitely a lot of people who love to visit the pristine landscape known as Minnesota in the warmer months of the year.

A shot glanced off the rim, bounced momentarily toward the ceiling, then fell gently toward the floor. From rim to hands, the rebound hung in the air for only a moment, two seconds at the most. As the basketball fell, the gym echoed. The squeak of rubber against hardwood mixed with the grind of metal against metal, and in the scramble for position, a wheelchair flipped backward. A man who couldn’t stand on his own was left lying flat on his back, his legs still strapped to the chair. Next moment, a fast break was heading the other way. A referee walked next to the fallen player, but barely glanced his direction and never offered so much as a hand. Only after a foul was called did the action...

It's a Buyer's Market but it won't last forever. I am confounded why buyers are hesitant to buy in today's market. As of the New Year, 2007, there remains a good deal of inventory which means lots of choice but it is getting bought up even if at a slower rate than usual. Sellers in many cases have had their home on the market for several months now and are willing to negotiate. When the inventory level equals the level of buyers prices are going to rise. Start looking. Every year 125,000 to 140,000 people move into the Valley of the Sun. For every 2.2 people we need one more living quarters whether it's an apartment or a house. In either case this is going to cause the inventory to decline. We are a...

Very often when people begin to learn about bird flu, they jump to the conclusion that because medicine has advanced by quantum leaps since the 1918-19 influenza pandemic (global epidemic), there is nothing to worry about. They are certainly right about the advance of medicine, which has been extraordinary by any measure. Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with a bird-flu pandemic, these advances fall short in many areas. To name the most significant: 1. Bird flu is caused by an influenza virus, for which there are only four approved antiviral agents in the U.S. The virus has extensive resistance to two of these medicines already, and resistance might develop in the remaining two once they are...

Last week the city of San Francisco accepted a joint bid from Google and Earthlink to bring universal wireless access, or "Wi-Fi" to that city by the bay. Residents will be able to log in wirelessly to the Internet from home, work, cable car, or wherever. San Francisco is among the first cities of a number going "muniwireless"- that is, citywide free Wi-Fi; Philadelphia has already cut a similar deal with Earthlink, while Austin, Boston, and Chicago have also announced plans to do the same. I believe this trend will continue and foresee the spread of Wi-Fi connection to most cities in upcoming years. This endeavor, a pet project of San Francisco's mayor Gavin Newsom, is good for his career and...

It's a week 11 NFL match up of division foes. The Seahawks lead the series 8-6 and have plowed through the 49ers in the last 6 meetings. They could very well post another 14+ point victory this week. The 49ers are coming off another victory-they are 4-5 now-and hope to make it three in a row. Two weeks ago they beat the Minnesota Vikings in San Francisco 9-6. To say this game was boring is an understatement. Last week they went to Detroit and beat a lackluster Lions team 19-13. I think the Detroit Tigers would have gave them a better run for the money. The Seahawks continue to move forward without MVP running back Shaun Alexander and Pro Bowl QB Matt Hasslebeck. However, there's good new from...

At every level of government and politics, an informed electorate is needed to understand the candidates and issues of their community. That sounds pretty basic doesn't it? Citizens cannot make informed decisions before they vote for candidates if they do not know the individuals running for office. Nor, can they make informed judgments on issues, if they are not knowledgeable on the points of discussion and disagreement. With that in mind, a very disturbing news article has been published by USA Today. In that article they report that "local TV stations have nearly given up covering local political races and issues." It further stated that "just 8% of the local evening newscasts in 11 of the...
