Cheap Home Repairs That Could Save You Thousands – Yahoo News

WR Demarcus Robinson, Florida: The talent is there, but Robinson was unable to display it as a freshman last season due to a myriad of disciplinary problems. Robinson appeared in just seven games, missing three games due to a pair of disciplinary suspensions. He wound up with 5 catches for 23 yards, with his longest catch a 10-yard reception against Kentucky. But there is hope that the speedy 6-foot-1, 205-pound sophomore will flourish in new offensive coordinator Kurt Roper’s scheme. Robinson displayed his 4.39-second, 40-yard dash speed in UF’s spring game, catching a 31-yard TD pass. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sports-xchange-sec-breakout-players-150038569–ncaaf.html

Smartthings Review: Living In The Smart Home – Slashgear

By default there are four – “Good Morning!”, “Good Night”!, “Goodbye!”, and “I’m Back!” – which effectively work as master triggers to one or more actions. Set the system to “Good Night!”, for instance, and you could have all the lights turned off, the doors locked, and the motion sensors linked to a siren, all in one fell swoop. You can trigger them manually, or you can leave SmartThings to its own devices and use proximity and time to handle it. The system uses geofencing, figuring out who’s home and who’s away by the Presence fobs and phones nearby. In a fairly dense San Francisco neighborhood I found it would recognize me as being “home” when I got within 20-30 feet of my front door. http://www.slashgear.com/smartthings-review-living-in-the-smart-home-17341453/
