Mountain Lion Sighting
On August 4, 2011, at 11:15pm, Burbank Police Officers spotted a mountain lion walking between parked cars in the area of Kenneth Road and Brown Drive. Officers continued to watch the mountain lion as it moved uphill toward Woodstock Lane where it jumped an 8 foot fence and continued to travel up the hillside and disappeared into the mountain.
This communication is intended to alert the community of the sighting and to provide precautions to keep residents and their pets safe.
The following safety tips have been provided by the California Department of Fish and Game:
- Do not feed deer; it is illegal in California and it will attract mountain lions.
- Trim brush to reduce hiding places for mountain lions.
- Don’t allow pets outside when mountain lions are most active-dawn, dusk, and at night.
- Bring pet food inside to avoid attracting raccoons, opossums and other potential mountain lion prey.
- Do not leave small children or pets outside unattended.
- Install motion-sensitive lighting around the house.
- Do not hike, bike, or jog alone.
- Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active-dawn, dusk, and at night.
- Do not approach a mountain lion.
- If you encounter a mountain lion, do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to look bigger by waving your arms; throw rocks or other objects. Pick up small children.
- If attacked, fight back.
- If a mountain lion attacks a person,
immediately call 911.

In 2010, Michelle Muench, a certified Vinyasa yoga instructor, met Steve Cardenas, an award-winning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do instructor. After the two realized that both of their practices fit a special kind of “yin and yang” dynamic, they ventured into business together to open “Force/Balance,” a new and unique fitness studio in Burbank that offers both yoga and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Launched in Summer 2011, the 3000-square foot facility located near the Bob Hope Airport features state of the art equipment, professional grade mats, top-of-the-line sound system, comfortable and relaxing modern lounge with plasma TV, reception area and free parking.
Muench and Cardenas both agree that Force/Balance offers the perfect complimentary workout routine with separate classes of each discipline. While Brazilian Jiu Jitsu emphasizes taking out your stress and frustration, using energy, heart and soul and “leaving it ALL on the mat,” yoga aims to have the individual take all of the positive energy “off the mat” and into the world; Hence the “on the mat”/”off the mat” yin yang concept that’s behind Force/Balance Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Yoga. From self defense to themed and specialized classes for youth, newcomers and experts of all ages are welcome.

Yesterday I was talking a friend who is a winemaker, and we got into the discussion of how to preserve that opened bottle of wine.
Do you stick the cork back in, use one of the vacuum pumps, or do you use what has become a popular alternative to preserving your open wine bottles.
Here’s the item we are looking at trying and will report back:
Preservino Argon Cartridge, 4 pk #PVOPWSG – Includes 4 Argon Gas Cartridges for use with all of Preservino/PEK’s wine preservation systems – Each cartridge contains High Purity Argon gas—the same gas used by the finest winemakers – 4 pk – Wine Racks

Economy Stalling and Fears of Double Dip Recession
Economist and government experts are fearing the worse now as the economy is stalling. New jobs being added have stalled, consumer confidence is down or not improving.
Just this morning in a few hours of trading, the market is down nearly 400 points. We will have to see how this develops, but if jobs are not added quickly or there is an infusion/injection into the public and private sectors to stimulate the economy we could be in for a struggle.
With unemployment as high as 20% in may parts of the country, and even higher in some parts, accounting for those who have given up or stopped being reported as unemployed, the numbers of unemployed are becoming a staggering number in the millions of people without jobs.
