Want to participate in an Guiness World Record attempt? Here's how:

Livermore Downtown Inc. has partnered with and local band, Rock On Tap, to get the community together in hopes of setting a Guiness World Record. For what you ask? Most people dancing in the street to the Monkee's Theme Song! Why you ask? Why NOT!!! It will be a blast and with the loss of Monkee Davy Jones this past year, what a fun way to pay tribute and thank the Monkees for all the fun music they gave us in the 70s!

The Livermore School of Dance has choreographed a dance routine for us and has loaded a video on their website for you and your dance buddies to watch and learn. All you have to do is join us downtown at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on First Street between the Flag Pole Plaza and K Street after the Amgen Tour of California Finish. The moves are simple and easy for all ages to learn! Not a follower on the Dance Floor? Feel free to join us and dance in your own unique style.

That dog was on Joseph drive on Saturday morning. I was on my way to the airport or I would haveRead More tried to help him! He/she seemed pretty skittish, poor thing.

Another problem: When notified of a reply to a comment I could click the link in the email to go toRead More the article. That was not possible this time. So because a small minority zooms there computer the layout should be as it is? I don't think so. All that white space means that an article that could be read with just one or two clicks to scroll through is now going to take more scrolling to view. One thing that seems to be missing in today's world are web designers who (1) change the layout just because and (2) web designers who have neglected to consider the audience. The more I look at this layout the less I like it. The font needs to be darker than it is. the blue (like in "announcements") needs to be bolder. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 best), I rank the new "improved" design a 3.
