Luka worked with Peljhan to create photographs of fun activities that would usually be impossible for Luka to take part in. Using simple props, Luka would be positioned on the ground as Peljhan shot the photographs from above. The resulting images form a heartwarming series titled The Little Prince. [via]

EVERYTHING ELSE IS UP FOR YOU INTERPRETATION--just make it hot and related to OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES with a Web 2.0 Feel. And when I say "Outdoor Activities," try to make a perfect mix of water sports + ground sports without using stock photos (or very minimal photography). I want a Web 2.0 setting with icons and graphics that SYMBOLIZE Wave in the Ocean + Something similar that SYMBOLIZES "Turf," and by turf, think about a sport that beats up the grass and the soil/dirt beneath it. I would love to see a wave melded together with dirt and grass being kicked up from the ground. BUT don't think that you're limited to Blue and Green or these ideas. You only need Blue--you can use orange if you want as the secondary color, or just a light version of blue. Or you could really come up with something totally different for colors. Think of those just as ideas--the only requirements are the logo and search box.
...So make the above Proto-type SUPER DUPER Web 2.0. I list all the sites we like on the bottom of this. Otherwise, do whatever the hell you want to do. We do need a search box, but we don't really need anything else at all. It's a Web 2.0 Style site (think bubbly blue + Pandora.com) and it needs to communicate the following: "adventurous," "out-doors," "water sports," "vacation," "cutting edge web 2.0," "travel," "dirt," "green + plans."
If you've done one of my design contests before, you know the deal: I give tons and tons of feedback and I'm always available to help you win. If I see someone really starting to get what we want, I make myself extremely available and guide you throughout your work day. I'm always online, and I always have work for you in the future if you nail this. Here's my Web 2.0 development firm, just to get an idea of who I am and what I do: http://FaceySpacey.com and heres my g-chat: email@example.com
AND IF YOU REALLY WANT A LOT OF IDEAS: go here: http://www.go2web20.net/ and select the "Travel" tag (after clicking "tags") Feel free to browse through all those sites featured there--that's the sort of stuff I like.
LASTLY, CHECK MY OLD DESIGN CONTESTS TO SEE WHAT SORT OF STUFF I LIKE!!!! I'm only looking for Web 2.0 Masterminds--those will be the people that win.

Oh, and for anyone that reads, here's an idea of something cool to do:
Create silhouettes of real photos (e.g. a guy doing a wheely on abike) where the front wheel of the dirt bike goes outside of a boxarea, and on the side of the box area, his helmet sticks out of the box. Ya feel me! Then, there's a guy surfing with his surf board hanging outside of another box area, and a silhouettes of a wave doing the same thing. And of course, these are all nicely textured silhouettes. Read my feedback to design #10. I say this same thing in reference to the 3 boxes he has in his design. I've always imagined 2, 3 or 4 boxes with stuff happening in it, where pictures are morphed into sillhouettes that stick outside of the box area and connect sometimes too.
- possibly a site that's taller than the provided prototype. It would be nice to have some sort of feed of activity from users. This is a socially oriented site as well, and I would like to convey activity somehow.

11.2 Ward Primary Leadership
This chapter focuses on administering the Primary in a way that will strengthen individuals and families. Primary leaders frequently review chapter 3, which outlines general principles of leadership. These principles include preparing spiritually, participating in councils, ministering to others, and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The bishop and his counselors provide priesthood leadership for the Primary.
Bishop and His Counselors
The bishop calls and sets apart a sister to serve as Primary president. He oversees the calling and setting apart of all other Primary workers. He may assign his counselors to call and set them apart.
The bishop or an assigned counselor conducts interviews for the baptism and confirmation of 8-year-old children who are members of record and 8-year-old children who are not members of record but have at least one parent or guardian who is a member. The full-time missionaries teach and interview 8-year-old children whose parents are not members and children who will be 9 years old or older at the time of baptism.
The bishop or an assigned counselor interviews children before they reach age 12 and advance from Primary.
Counselor Assigned to Oversee the Ward Primary
The bishop assigns one of his counselors to oversee the ward Primary. This counselor has the following responsibilities:
He meets regularly with the ward Primary presidency. He reports on Primary matters in bishopric meetings.
He guides efforts to prepare the annual children's sacrament meeting presentation.
He directs the planning of the Temple and Priesthood Preparation meeting in coordination with the Primary presidency (see 11.5.5).
He coordinates efforts to have members of the bishopric give short messages to the children in sharing time.
Where Scouting is authorized by the Church, he oversees Scouting for boys ages 8 through 11.
Ward Primary Presidency
The ward Primary presidency consists of a president and two counselors. They work under the direction of the bishopric. They receive orientation and ongoing support from the stake Primary presidency.
Ward Primary President
The Primary president has the following responsibilities:
She serves as a member of the ward council. As a member of this council, she participates in efforts to build faith and strengthen individuals and families (see chapter 4).
She submits recommendations to the bishopric for ward members to be called to serve as leaders and teachers in the Primary. In making these recommendations, she follows the guidelines in 19.1.1 and 19.1.2.
She oversees the use of the Faith in God guidebooks as described in 11.5.1.
She oversees the records, reports, budget, and finances of the ward Primary. The Primary secretary helps with this responsibility.
Ward Primary President and Her Counselors
Members of the ward Primary presidency work together to fulfill the following responsibilities. The Primary president may assign her counselors to oversee some of these responsibilities.
They learn the children's names and become familiar with their talents, interests, and challenges. They look for ways to strengthen children individually and help them participate in Primary.
They orient newly called teachers and oversee efforts to improve gospel learning and teaching in Primary. In these efforts, they follow the principles in 5.5.3 and 5.5.4. They also support Primary teachers and nursery leaders by (1) visiting with them occasionally to address their questions and concerns and to discuss ways to serve the children; (2) helping them maintain reverence during sharing time, class time, and breaks; and (3) arranging to visit their classes.
They plan sharing time and oversee the programs, activities, and events listed in 11.5.
They hold Primary presidency meetings. They also meet regularly with the counselor in the bishopric who oversees Primary.
Ward Primary Secretary
The ward Primary secretary has the following responsibilities:
She consults with the presidency to prepare agendas for presidency meetings. She attends these meetings, takes notes, and keeps track of assignments.
At least quarterly, she compiles attendance information, reviews it with the Primary president, and submits it to the ward clerk.
She ensures that the Primary president and ward executive secretary are aware of children who will soon be eligible for baptism and who will soon advance from Primary to the Aaronic Priesthood and Young Women.
She helps the Primary presidency prepare an annual budget and account for expenses.
She assists children, teachers, and parents as requested by the Primary presidency. For example, she may help monitor classes and maintain reverence during sharing time. She may also assign children to give talks in upcoming sharing times and inform the children's parents of the assignments.
Ward Primary Music Leader(s) and Pianist(s)
Under the direction of the Primary presidency, Primary music leaders and pianists have the following responsibilities:
They plan, teach, and direct the music for sharing time, including songs that will be part of the children's sacrament meeting presentation.
They help with music for the nursery class and other Primary classes as requested.
They may organize and direct a children's choir as requested.
Members of the Primary presidency help the ward Primary music leaders and pianists understand how music contributes to Primary. The melodies, words, and messages of Primary songs can teach children the doctrines of the gospel and stay in their hearts throughout their lives.
Music in Primary should invite reverence, teach the gospel, and help children feel the influence of the Holy Ghost and the joy that comes through singing. While the children sing some songs, music leaders give them opportunities to move physically and stretch appropriately.
The Children's Songbook and the current sharing time outline are the basic resources for music in Primary. Hymns from the hymnbook and songs from the Friend and Liahona are also appropriate. Occasionally children may sing patriotic or holiday songs that are suitable for Sunday and for the children's ages. The use of any other music in Primary must be approved by the bishopric.
For information about teaching music to children, see the Children's Songbook, pages 300–304. See also chapter 14 in this handbook, the current outline for sharing time, and "Music Callings and Resources" in the Serving in the Church section of LDS.org.
Primary Teachers and Nursery Leaders
Primary teachers and nursery leaders work with specific age-groups of children. These teachers and leaders follow the principles outlined in 5.5.4.
Activity Days Leaders and Scout Leaders
If a ward Primary holds activity days and Scouting activities for children ages 8 through 11, the activities may be planned and conducted by the teachers of these children or by other leaders the bishopric calls to fulfill these responsibilities (see 11.5.2 and 11.5.3).

Hebrews 5:14
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
Philipians 3:8
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
In view of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, I look at my standards for entertainment and find them incomplete. Tonight I was at the campus theater for one of the university's productions. I did all that I could do in order to keep my previous commitment to avoiding entertainment (even if it be for class credit) that is spiritually harmful; I read reviews and summaries, making sure the play was decent.
By the time we made it to intermission, my conscience was suffering. The subject matter on stage was not spiritually healthy. I closed my eyes and refused to look on stage for one entire scene, avoiding the worst and trying to appease my conscience. Still, by the end of the production, my heart felt as heavy and sick as the story-line of the play itself. The intake of my heart tonight was undeniably unhealthy.
It is not enough to simply avoid spiritually destructive entertainment as much as possible. We must go further: It is never too late to cease what should never have been started. I should avoid sinful entertainment, and if any entertainment I thought was clean turns out to be unclean, I should leave it the moment I know it to be unclean. If I would have avoided the entertainment if I had known its content beforehand, then I should abandon that entertainment the moment I know it is harmful. Another way to say it: Leave the moment you know that you should not have come.
Evil is evil, and the price is no less if it is paid on accident. There is no excuse for polluting the mind, and ceasing its intake is a clear statement of the validity and vitality of our faith. My entertainment standards were incomplete because though they strive to keep me from STARTING sinful entertainment, they did not commit me to ENDING entertainment that seemed fine before turning ugly. I am fixing these standards after tonight's events, to God's glory and my good.
What entertainment is spiritually harmful? Here are some questions (from a previous post):
1. Does it make me want to commit immoral action with a woman/man? (Does it make me want to see too much, do too much, etc)
2. Does it present evil in a favorable or laughable light, making me see it as harmless?
3. Is this entertainment media cause me to desire to do any sin? (Jesus put desiring and doing on the same moral ground)
4. Does this entertainment come at the expense of someone else? (Does it create a derogative view of women, does it produce critical thoughts of others in me, does it creative a sinful attitude of pride or insensitivity in me? I am thinking of music especially here, but internet and movies as well. Guys, do you want to give your girl something for Valentine's that will change both of you forever? Permanently log out of porn, stop watching trash on TV that gives your mind to another woman, and request that your girl dress modestly. Feeding the immoral appetite says nothing but "I love me." Saving yourself for her, and caring enough about her walk with God to support her in dressing modestly and acting morally, is a loud, "I love you.")
5. Does this entertainment help or hinder the renewing of my mind?
6. Will I likely walk away from this entertainment having sinned? (I say "likely", because sometimes we say that we can control our thoughts in the face of temptation, but likely we want. Be realistic. Know what will likely happen to your thought life, not what should or could happen)
7. Does this entertainment cause me to walk the line as bring me closer to paying a cost I do not want to pay? (Is this entertainment bringing me to a place where I am in the iffy, gray-area zone, likely pushing limits and not honestly admitting that I am dangerously playing with temptation, not fleeing from it? It is better to walk away that risk paying a moral cost)
Why do I worry so much about entertainment? Here's why:
1. If I am amused by evil, I am probably not aware of it's influence on me.
2. If I laugh at it now, I'll do it eventually.
3. Continued exposure to evil deadens the conscience to its poison, making it "a slow fade, where black and white turn to grey."
4. Continued exposure to evil deadens the heart to God's voice, making me less sensitive spiritually to God's voice in His word as I read.
5. If I fill my mind with evil, evil will come out of my heart, as I reap what I sow and the heart speaks from what is put in it.
Thus the price for exposure to evil is too great. I will lose my spiritual ability to discern good and evil if I do not practice it in life (Hebrew 5:14). I must count it all as loss in order to gain Christ (Philipians 3:8). Sin is serious.
Here is what I am not advocating:
1. Isolationism. I am not assuming or advocating that Christians can or should be completely isolated from the world. We are to be in the world, but not of the world. However, I cease to simply be in the world when I cease to be able to be separated from it. As Paul E. Little writes, there is a difference between separation and isolation. We are to be in the world (not isolated), yet separate from the world (for we are not of the world). When I feed on entertainment that is spiritually harmful, I am no longer separate from the world because I am not participating in the same evil thoughts/delights as world does.
2. Legalism. I am not attempting to follow a list of rules to walk holy. However, I am desiring to live holy and know that the only way to do so is to live strategically. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and motivated by love, I can discern what is spiritually harmful so that I avoid it and become more holy, as He is holy.
Father, please give me Your hatred of sin. Give me clarity of vision, so that I can be further rid of sin and gaze at You, seated on Your throne, high and lifted up. My heart is tempted at times to downplay sin's horrors, yet that is only when I do not see the nails it drove in Christ's hands and feet. Let me hate sin with a passion so that I chase after You all the more. I will never truly repent until I hate the sin I want to abandon. Let me glorify you in the entertainment I choose. For Your namesake, give Your child the strength and grace to live as You have commanded.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Call Control: Incoming call information is lost after signing out and signing back in
From DocWiki
Call information is lost when an agent signs out of Finesse and then signs back in
|Problem Summary
|An agent is signed in and in NOT_READY state and receives an incoming call. The caller number is displayed. The agent then signs out of the desktop and then signs back in. The caller number is now shown as "(Unknown)".
|Error Message
|Possible Cause
|The call that arrived while the agent was signed in (and Not Ready) was torn down when the agent signed out. The call was rebuilt when the agent signed back in. Unified CCE does not return any devices other than the agent's device for calls from unmonitored lines prior to sign-in.
|Recommended Action
|You can ignore the caller number "(Unknown Caller)". Call control should behave normally and any new calls will have the appropriate caller information.

Phil Dunievitz: 1975 Ford F-250Posted in Ultimate Adventure: 2011 on November 1, 2011
Driver: Phil Dunievitz
Co-Driver: Alex Baker
Stomping Grounds: Reno, NV
Some of our more astute readers may recognize Phil Dunievitz's vintage pickup from the May '08 cover and feature "Beautiful Beater." This heavyweight F-250 has undergone quite a few changes since we spotlighted the classic in the magazine. So when Phil and his copilot, Alex Baker, sent in the application for the trip, we were happy to invite the fullsize enthusiast onboard. Though the trip started out well for the 500-horse monster, a low-speed rollover sent Phil to the hospital with a minor injury. This injury would ultimately force Phil and Alex to leave the UA sooner than planned, but with their sprits still held high. We have a feeling that this won't be the last time you see the well-aged fullsize inside the magazine.

That was more of an elaboration on the comment of preferring to see the rock n roll express over rock NES. I'm just not to big on those guys in comparison to others on the PWG roster. And while hogan and Nash arent drawing shit, it's those kinds of names that has kept TNA on tv. Unfortunate but true. Thats partbif the reason why TNA is still on tv and Roh isnt. Apaet from all the corporate bs. While I rather see the lo ki vs Chris Daniels main events from TNA's infancy, the world rather see "established stars" But that's just how things appear to me. I couldnt honestly tell you I understand wrestling or wrestling fans. I don't understand how people who seen Davey Richards vs Chris Hero or Low Ki vs American Dragon could think that HHH and The Undertaker are good workers. Or how anyone who has paid $25 for excellent seats at a PWG show would pay more the double for shitty seats at an even shittier WWE show. This is pretty much what I said about ECW about 15 years ago. Man I went on a bit of a tyraid here. Sorry everybody.
You got to give the Devil his due and in their prime, Taker and Hunter were damn good at what they did. They were good, not great, wrestlers, but they knew how to tell a story inside that ring and cut a damn good promo. And, let's face it, wrestling is kind of like a soap opera. Those guys knew the ins and outs and how to make people get into the story. Is someone like Danielson or Hero damn great wrestlers. Yes. But can they build a story, a feud, long term and make people give a damn about it. People have all different kinds of ideas of what truly is wrestling, but at the end of the day, it's about the big payoff. And you can't knock Taker and Hunter down on that because they have had some of the best payoffs in the business, especially against a guy like Mick Foley.
And having Hogan and Nash on TV isn't what is keeping TNA on TV. I mean, before Hogan, ratings were the same. So that's just a load of crap.
Why do people pay hundreds of dollars to see professional sports when they can basically get it cheaper to see college players play their hearts out instead of watching pros half ass it on the court? It's because of the name draw. WWE is like the NBA/NFL/MLB/etc while PWG is like the college or high school sport of it. People pack that in because they want to see the big name stars in action. Like it or not, WWE is wrestling/professional wrestling/sports entertainment/two guys fake fighting over nothing whatever the hell you want to call it. It's why WWE pays their employees a decent wage while PWG probably pays them a day's wage at best.

At any time, you can go back to your starting room simply by hitting escape, and from there you can view a map of the entire labyrinth in all its non-Euclidian glory. However, the map's real use is to allow you to teleport to rooms you have been to before. This makes backtracking easy and effortless. In fact, many times the game forces you to go back to the start and contemplate your actions. You can also see all the pieces of advice the game has given you, creating a mural of cartoony drawings outlining a life in itself.
Antichamber is actually far more non-linear than it first appears. Your first playthrough of the game will take hours as you explore every single room, solve every single puzzle, and work out every single quirk of the altered laws of physics around you. However, puzzles can be solved in many different ways. For example, you can use blocks to activate switches that open doors, but you can just as easily jam blocks into a door frame to prevent it from closing. Your first romp through Antichamber will likely take you about fifteen hours, but speedruns of the game have been clocked in at as little as five minutes. That's how much hidden freedom the game actually has to offer.
There is no real plot to Antichamber, but there certainly is a tone. The whole game feels foreboding. The very fact that you are trapped makes the game almost feel like some sort of weird scientific horror. The end of the game in particular makes you go "what the heck just happened?" In a good way. The theories and hypotheses about what's actually happening in Antichamber are many, and the Internet has been set ablaze in a fire of speculation and fan fiction.
Antichamber is so much more than a first-person puzzle game. It's indie development at its best. It's simple in premise but it makes you question everything you know. It tells its entire story and expresses its entire theme through gameplay and gameplay alone. This is art—admittedly abstract art, but art nonetheless. If you like Portal, Quantum Conundrum, or any other first-person puzzle game, then Antichamber will make you explode with non-Euclidean delight.
Antichamber is one game you do not want to miss. It's available at a budget price on Steam right now, and you are doing yourself a disservice every minute you do not pick it up.

It's a story of mystery, intrigue, and a lost prototype Nexus Prime. Yes, a lost Nexus Prime. Our story begins like any other -- with a person. Not just any person, though -- this person is special. They go by the name of Geek Vundotra, and they work for Verizon. Geek is a Verizon engineer who happens to be carrying a very special phone known simply as the Nexus Prime. A phone he happens to leave in a bar... or something like that. Now, thanks to Geek's screw-up, we have some goodies for all of you that are sure to get you excited for what's to come. Without further ado, it is our pleasure to present to you the new and improved Google Music 4.0.1! What's New [SUP]Left: Old, Right: New[/SUP] As you can see, Music 4 still has the same overall look as Music 3 with a few minor changes: the tabs are cleaner and the player area at the bottom takes up less space. The Selection menu has also taken on a minor change: instead of a popup in the middle of the screen, it now displays a dialog-style box directly below the artist. The available offline option is also missing from this menu, which may indicate a change in the way Music caches its streams. These two things are definitely the most minor of all the changes -- it gets better from here. The Player interface has also received a subtle makeover to match the rest of the app. It's clean and sleek, with less obtrusive buttons and more agile controls. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of a 'search' button in the top right, which is clearly due to ICS's lack of a physical search key. Download How unfair would it be for us to keep this all to ourselves? It wouldn't, and we love you all, so here it is for your downloading pleasure: Google Music 4.0.1 APK. If you have a previous version of Google Music installed, you must uninstall it first! If Music was preinstalled on your device, use Titanium Backup to uninstall it and then reboot your device. After that, you should be able to install this just like any other app. After installing this on both of my devices, I couldn't get it to sync with my Google Music account. I was prompted to allow it, but after that, it continually said my library was empty. If you rely on Google Music's streaming service as your primary source of tunes, you may not want to install this yet. Scratch that -- if you're music doesn't sync after installing, simply head into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and clear data. Should work after that. [h=2]Download: Google+ 2.0 Pulled from Ice Cream Sandwich[/h] Download: Google+ 2.0 Pulled from Ice Cream Sandwich Share Thought that the Google Music app from Ice Cream Sandwich was the last of 'em? Prepare yourself for the future of Google+ as well. Version 2.0 has been pulled from the Galaxy Nexus and brings with some new features including a renamed Messenger section called "Chord." I have no idea what that is supposed to mean, but am willing to just roll with it. The rest simply makes the app feel more well-rounded and polished, much like with what we saw on the new music app. Download: PlusOne.apk *Note – You will have to uninstall your current G+ before this will work. G+ addicts, feel free to let us know about each of the new goodies or tweaks that the Android team has included. Via: Android Police Source: Android Police/Droid-LIFE SOURCE: ANDROID POLICE/TWITTER

Holy Moly! This last week has been a bit of an overwhelming one related to people I care for. This may sound odd, but it's more realistic than one may know: credible scientific medical research has substantiated for quite some time, that full moons and winter can negatively affect one's emotional well being, their outlook on life.
I should probably clairfy before continuing, haha...I'm not a professional, I simply work through professionals as a volunteer helping people by being there as someone who cares offering emotional support, friendship, spiritual guidance when I can. As part of my volunteer efforts I've become familar with a variety of circumstances that can affect ones emotional well being.
Back to point. I can only speculate when both occur at the same time, a full moon especially towards the tale end of winter as within the last week, increases risk factor compounding negative emotions even more. Toss in the negative factor our failed economy can have on emotional well being...people are in a real mess emotionally at every turn! Making matters worse...phyiscal well being often suffers as a result of poor emotional well being.
Within the last week I've had so many approach who are struggling with the blues, depression, relationship & marriage break ups, financial crisis', illness...you name it, there was a serious life struggle going on with most all I communicated with.
I have several friends who live in and around Detriot. Michigan is struggling in ways more so than the rest of the U.S with our economic disaster. I've no doubt those in Michigan I've been attempting to comfort, are victims of our failed economy either directly or indirectly. Job loss, financial burdens...reak havoc on emotional & physical well being, and can also destroy relationships as a result.
Although the arrival of Spring won't bring relief to our failed economy, resolve all life struggles...I'm hoping & praying it will at least relieve the symptoms of Winter blues many are suffering from. Possibly then at least some will be able to cope with financial burdens and other life struggles a bit more positively.
The economic burdens facing our society aren't limited to Michigan, nor are the Winter blues...so y'all be careful out there during these struggling times. Take care of yourself and your families emotional well being in any way you can afford to...a night out to dinner, a movie, lot's of hugs & kisses...laughter is always a good antidote to the blues. Don't forget to take inventory of your most priceless blessings in life.
Heck, I get the blues, we all do. Another antidote I have found to be an instant cure for the blues...is to reflect upon all those around me who struggle with battles far greater than mine. Reflecting upon my young friend Dillon battling terminal Cancer for example, puts a QUICK end to the blues or any self pity I may briefly encounter. I have a strong Faith, so I also turn to prayer and my Bible when feeling blue.
When it's all said and done...it's those we love most and who love us, that are our greatest and most priceless assets in life. Only when we lose them, do we comprehend loss at it's most painful level.
God Bless Us Everyone! It's an emotional war zone out there in our society!

Go on an Exhilarating Treasure Hunt All Over Hong Kong
The tour is such a different way to see Hong Kong and something I've never experienced before. I'll book again with Voyagin!
Go on an Exhilarating Treasure Hunt All Over Hong Kong
Really enjoyed what Wouter organised for us. He custom designed a tour to suit our requests and even included a few wedding related tasks knowing we were celebrating an upcoming wedding. A great way to see Hong Kong, I would highly recommend it! A +
Go on an Exhilarating Treasure Hunt All Over Hong Kong
Wouter produced an AMAZING day for us. Personally, it was the highlight of our group trip to Hong Kong. I learnt and saw a lot of the city, in a short period of time. At first, my heart was RACEing but we settled down and worked through the challenges. Do not DETOUR around Wouter, I would highly recommend him anyone with a decent group size!
Go on an Exhilarating Treasure Hunt All Over Hong Kong
What a great idea and great tour guide!
Excellent work by Wouter to a) create something so intricate and involved & b) cater it to the theme we desired!
It was a novel and refreshing way to explore the biggest sites of HK and provided us with great history, context and knowledge of the city.
The "challenges" (ranging from posing next to Bruce Lee to who can eat stinky tofu to how many beats does a dead fish have) were all inventive and fun and educational.
The way the final location was revealed was also very ingenious!
Cannot recommend this event enough! Wouter had truly created an exceptional way to explore Hong Kong.
Go on an Exhilarating Treasure Hunt All Over Hong Kong
We requested to organise this event as a work team building exercise. It was great fun and definitely appealed to everyone that took part. Our host - Wouter was very flexible in the run up to the event (number of people participating drastically dropped down 2 days before the event), gave very specific directions during the event and was enthusiastic throughout the whole process.
I recommend doing the treasure hunt to anyone as a great way to enjoy visiting Hong Kong or as a team building exercise for curent residents of HK.


text: Cattle Rise to Record With Hogs Gaining as Meat Supplies Shrink February 26, 2014 09:59 AM Tweet © Wyatt Bechtel TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Cattle futures rose to a record as ranchers struggle to boost the U.S. herd from a 63-year low, and hogs climbed to a 34-month high after a virus that kills piglets spread, spurring concerns that meat supplies will shrink. Beef output in the U.S., the world's top producer, will fall 5.3 percent this year to 24.35 billion pounds, the lowest since 1994, the Department of Agriculture has forecast. At the start of this year, the cattle herd fell to 87.7 million head, the lowest since 1951, following drought and high feed costs. Porcine epidemic virus has killed more than 4 million pigs, according to an industry group. This month, the USDA lowered its 2014 forecast for red-meat production and boosted the outlook for cattle and hog costs. Higher meat prices will raise expenses for retailers, while grocery shoppers will pay as much as 3.5 percent more for meat this year, compared with a 1.2 percent increase in 2013, the government projects. "Total beef production is going to be down, and that's one of the few commodities that we're projected to see the supplies tighten this next year," Don Roose, the president of U.S. Commodities Inc. in West Des Moines, Iowa, said in a telephone interview. "In hogs and the cattle, the supplies are expected to continue to stay tight all the way into the spring. Funds are piling into the long side." Cattle futures for April delivery rose 1.5 percent to settle at $1.44525 a pound at 1 p.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. After the close, the price reached $1.453, the highest for a most-active contract since the commodity debuted in 1964. Trading almost doubled compared with the 100-day average for this time, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Hog Rally Hog futures for April settlement climbed 0.4 percent to $1.01025 a pound. Earlier, the commodity reached $1.0165, the highest since April 21, 2011. The price has gained 24 percent in the past 12 months. Feeder-cattle futures for May settlement rose 0.6 percent to $1.745 a pound. The price reached a record $1.74925. In the week ended Feb. 18, a measure of bullish positions held by hedge funds across 11 agricultural products climbed 19 percent to 573,187 contracts, the highest since October 2012, government data showed on Feb. 21. Last week, an estimated 539,000 cattle were sent to slaughter, down 5.1 percent from a year earlier, and beef production in the first quarter may fall 5.6 percent to 5.83 billion pounds, government data showed. 'Tightest Supply' "The first quarter always has the tightest supply," Rich Nelson, the director of research at Allendale Inc. in McHenry, Illinois, said in a telephone interview. "Packers are still scrambling to see market-ready cattle." Retail ground beef averaged $3.467 a pound in January, up 1.8 percent from a year earlier, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Consumers paid $5.033 a pound for boneless round steak last month, the most since at least 1980, government figures show. Beef inflation for Ruth's Hospitality Group Inc., the Heathrow, Florida-based steakhouse owner, may accelerate 4 percent to 8 percent in 2014, Chief Financial Officer Arne Haak said on a Feb. 21 conference call. Higher prices of the meat will contribute to a drop in first-quarter earnings, he said. Hormel Foods Corp., the Austin, Minnesota-based maker of Spam meat spread, said that higher beef and pork costs "pressured" margins in the three months ending Jan. 26. Pork supplies probably will tighten in the summer because of the piglet virus, Jeffrey Ettinger, the chief executive officer, said on a Feb. 20 conference call. The company's farm operations and some independent hog suppliers have been affected, he said. Today, oat futures fell after surging to a record in Chicago, while corn and soybeans reached to the highest since September. Back to news

Canon recently announced its rather impressive 1D X DSLR. The photographic monster shoots 14FPS. Impressive right? Not according to the Canon F-1 from 1984.
The F-1 utilized battery packs to burn through rolls of film at 14FPS. The camera was marketed as limited edition for press photographers and cost almost $17,000. Sure it was pricey and bulky, but it was 1984, everything was big. Big hair, big camcorders, big marshmallow creatures, things were huge and we loved them.

Apple releases iOS 6.1.2
Apple has released iOS 6.1.2, an update that fixes "an Exchange calendar bug that could result in increased network activity and reduced battery life." Though not specifically mentioned, it's likely the update will also resolve the lock screen security flaw found in iOS 6.1. iOS 6.1.2 can be downloaded from iTunes or via the Settings > Software Update menu on an iOS device.
Apple TV launches in India
The India version of Apple's web site is now showing a live page for Apple TV as the set-top box launches in the country. Various reports are listing slightly different prices in rupees for Apple TV, but it appears that the cost will be roughly $150. Apple TV can also be found in the iPod section of India's online Apple Store, though there is currently no option to buy online. [via BGR India]
Happy Presidents' Day from iLounge
Happy Presidents' Day from all of us at iLounge! We'll be on a limited publication schedule today; we will return to normal updates on Tuesday, Feb. 19. Current U.S. President Barack Obama revealed what was on his iPod during his run to the White House, and former President George W. Bush showed off his iPod contents while in office. Tell us in the comment: what's on your iPod these days?
Apple acknowledges iOS 6.1 security flaw, plans fix
Apple has acknowledged the lock screen security flaw found in iOS 6.1, and a fix is on the way. Company spokeswoman Trudy Miller said the company is aware of the issue, and a fix will be delivered in a future software update. [via AllThingsD]
Staples employees confirm U.S. sales of Apple products
Staples has announced to corporate employees that the company will soon start selling Apple products in the U.S, according to reports. A number of employees tweeted about the news, including Staples Senior Vice President of Global Human Resources Regis Mulot, who later deleted his tweet. A mock-up page was found on Staples' website in late January, with an Apple TV test page among the pages seen before removal. [via 9to5Mac]
Apps: Kickstarter, Kindle 3.6, Real Racing 3 + Slacker 4.0
Kickstarter has unveiled an official free app for the iPhone and iPod touch, which functions much like a mobile version of the crowd funding site. Most users will use the app to discover new projects, watch videos, and get updates on projects they've funded straight from the app. Allowing location services also lets users find new nearby projects automatically. On the flip side, project creators can track their project's progress, connect with backers, and post updates from anywhere. While we're generally very hesitant to treat Apple-focused Kickstarter campaigns as real news, based on the frequency of delays, over-promising in campaigns, and other issues, users who are interested in trying their luck with the service may like the app.
Amazon's free Kindle app has been updated to version 3.6 with several new features. Multicolored highlights allow users to select from four different colors to highlight important passages. After finishing a book, readers can now easily share that fact with friends on Facebook and Twitter, as well as rating the book and writing a review. Other books of interest can then be added to a wish list. Also, the brightness control within the app will now be saved, so when a user's device goes to sleep, the settings will no longer be changed and needed to be reset.
Apple debuts 0.5 m Lightning to USB Cable, tweaks In-Ear Headphones
Apple has quietly released a 0.5m version of its Lightning to USB Cable ($19). Although half the size of the "standard" cables it has been selling, it retains the same price; its release suggests that Apple may shift to packing shorter Lightning cables in with future products.
Apple also tweaked its In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic — the remote now is a bit more rounded, matching the redesigned remote on EarPods. The rest of the design and the $79 price haven't changed. [via MacRumors]
Urbanears intros Slussen DJ adapter + app
Urbanears has introduced Slussen ($15), a stylish-looking portable DJ adapter with a free companion app. Slussen plugs into an iOS device, using two 3.5mm jacks to connect headphones and a sound system. Upon launching the app, users can hear one song through headphones while another is playing through the speaker. The app allows music to be controlled in a number of ways, by adjusting BPM, syncing tracks, and EQ effects; a scratch function, crossfaders, and equalizer are also included.
Slussen comes ready for keychain attachment. Available now, it comes in four colors — grape, pumpkin, petrol, and tomato — with the tomato version priced at $20.
PowerSkin debuts Pop'n battery for iPhone 5
Powerskin has introduced Pop'n ($80), an external 2000 mAh battery charger that affixes to the back of an iPhone 5, using a dangling Lightning plug for connectivity. Pop'n can adhere to iPhones and some existing iPhone cases by using small, flexible suction cups; the size of the Lightning connector will determine whether it works with a given case.
As one of the first Apple-approved external battery chargers for iPhone 5, Pop'n uses an LED light strip to indicate how much battery charge remains in the case. It extends power by up to 70 percent, and is available now in black and white, with red and pink versions to come.
iPhone lock screen security flaw found in iOS 6.1
A security flaw in iOS 6.1 allows anyone to bypass the iPhone's lock screen to view and modify contacts, listen to voicemails, and browse photos. Using the phone's emergency call function, a series of precise steps involving making an emergency call and holding down the power button can let anyone access sections of the iPhone. iOS 4.1 had a similar security flaw; a security update will likely be on the way shortly. [via Apple Insider]
Xbox project founder: Apple could 'kill' consoles
Nat Brown, "a founder of the original xBox project at Microsoft" who "gave it its name," has suggested in a blog post that Apple could easily turn the Apple TV into an open game console, taking advantage of the still-poor Xbox user and developer experience to rapidly conquer the market. "Apple, if it chooses to do so, will simply kill Playstation, Wii-U and xBox by introducing an open 30%-cut app/game ecosystem for Apple-TV [sic]," Brown wrote. "I already make a lot of money on iOS – I will be the first to write apps for Apple-TV when I can, and I know I'll make money."
According to Brown, "The current numbers already say a lot, even with Apple-TV not already an open console: 5.3M sold units in 2012, 90% year-over-year growth — vs. xBox 360 — about 9M units in 2012, 60% YoY decline," though the Xbox 360 is notably nearing the end of its life cycle. Brown argues that a "console-capable" Apple TV could benefit indie developers as well as users, who would jump at a chance to get away from Xbox's confusing menus, loading times, and poor online marketplace for software, which hides smaller titles in an area without any promotion. Microsoft and Sony are both expected to announce next-generation game consoles this year, but at price points significantly higher than the Apple TV's, which Brown suggests could become more expensive while still undercutting rivals.
Report: About 100 Apple designers working on smart watch
A team of roughly 100 Apple product designers are currently working on a "wristwatch-like device that may perform some of the tasks now handled by the iPhone and iPad," according to a Bloomberg report. The team includes managers, marketing group members, and software and hardware engineers who worked on the iPhone and iPad. People familiar with Apple's plans said the team size suggests that the smart watch has moved beyond the experimentation phase. Other media outlets known to receive official leaks from Apple reported earlier this week that Apple is developing a smart watch.
HBO enables Airplay streaming to Apple TV
HBO has announced that the cable network's apps are now able stream from an iPhone or iPad to Apple TV via Airplay, thanks to updates to the HBO Go app and Cinemax MAX Go app. Kessler confirmed that HBO Go will become directly available through Apple TV in the future, as was reported earlier this month; no date was specified.

After picking one of Chihuly's styles, you blow into the microphone to create a virtual sculpture that can be moved, molded, and color-changed by touching the screen. When the work is complete, you can view your creation in 3-D, and share it on Facebook. It's also possible to browse artwork other users have made, and read a timeline of Dale Chihuly's life and accomplishments. It's pretty neat stuff for a free download.
A puzzle/sandbox game for iPads, Little Inferno ($5) is an "interactive fireplace" that lets you burn things, advancing through stages by discovering combos when certain items burn together. All you're really doing from an actual gameplay standpoint is buying items, throwing them in the fireplace, and lighting them ablaze—complete with brief but frustrating delays between the purchase of an item and being able to toss it in the fire. You also get snippets of correspondence from other characters via letters, which create a story with an ending that's claimed to pack a wallop. You'll need to decide whether you have enough video pyromania to continue experimenting with the items for hours; in any case, you'll find Little Inferno to be a unique gaming concept.
Cook talks up growth, potential of iPad
During the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook discussed the huge potential for tablet sales, noting that 50 percent more iPads were sold last quarter than PCs. "There has been a sea change here, but I think we're in the early innings of this game," Cook said. While noting that competitors don't disclose their actual sales numbers, he said that around 120 million tablets were sold last year, and cited an estimate that tablet sales would more than triple to 375 million units per year over the next four years.
Apple has made significant expenditures in building the iPad's ecosystem, said Cook, and laid the groundwork for all of the key elements of future success—investments competitors may not have made. Cook noted that 300,000 apps have already been custom-made for the iPad's screen, versus "hundreds" for competing devices.
Cook doesn't "really think about" the cannibalization question as it relates to the iPad mini having any impact on the full-sized iPad. "If we don't cannibalize, someone else will," he said, later mentioning, "It seems perfectly reasonable to me to have an iPad and an iPad mini" in the product lineup.
At Goldman Q&A, Apple CEO Cook attacks specsmanship
Currently speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, Apple CEO Tim Cook responded to a question about increasing the screen size on phones by mounting a direct attack on specsmanship. "The customer experience is always broader than that which can be defined by a simple number," Cook said, suggesting that specs are what companies focus on when they can't make truly great products. "Do you know the speed of an AX processor?" asked Cook. "Does it matter?" He said that for Apple, a great experience and great products were the goal, "the only religion that we have."
Cook compared Apple's Retina display to OLED displays, which have been the topic of much discussion yet have what Cook deemed "awful" color saturation. "The Retina display is twice as bright as an OLED display," he said, mentioning that Apple feels very confident about the choices it has made with displays. "The only thing we'll never do is make a crappy product. We're going to make a great product… We must do something great, something bold, something ambitious. We want the customer to be the center of it ... to enrich customers' lives."
As for future display technology, Cook said, "I'm not going to comment about what we're going to do in the future, that releases our magic, I'm not going to do that."
Apple patents 4th-gen iPod, Newsstand
Apple was awarded two design patents on Tuesday for the fourth-generation iPod and Newsstand app icon. Released in July 2004, the fourth-generation iPod features the Click Wheel, and introduced the photo and iPod color models. Apple Senior Vice President of Industrial Design Jony Ive is credited as an inventor of the design.
The Newsstand app icon, which launched in June 2011 with iOS 5, features a skeuomorphic bookshelf design. Elizabeth Caroline Cranfill is the only credited designer of the icon. [via Apple Insider]
Apple releases iOS 6.1.1 for iPhone 4S
Apple has rapidly released iOS 6.1.1 for the iPhone 4S to fix issues users of that model were experiencing with iOS 6.1. A report earlier today noted that two European mobile operators were telling iPhone 4S users to avoid updating to iOS 6.1 due to a 3G connectivity issue. This is notably not the same version of iOS 6.1.1 that was released last week to developers, sporting Japan-focused updates to Apple's Maps application; those updates will follow in a subsequent release.
Belkin to build Lego cases for iPhone, iPod
Belkin has announced a multi-year licensing partnership with toymaker Lego to create accessories for mobile devices, initially focusing on iOS devices including the iPhone and iPod touch. While images were not yet available at press time, Belkin plans to start with the release of smartphone cases with Lego bricks for a "buildable" case experience, starting this spring. The cases will be "based on iconic Lego toys," Belkin said.
Apple to stream audio from CEO Cook's presentation
Once again, Apple has announced that CEO Tim Cook will speak at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, and his presentation will be streamed live tomorrow, February 12 at 10:15 a.m. Eastern on Apple's site. While Cook will probably discuss Apple's business, it's unlikely that he'll make any sort of product announcement. [via 9to5Mac]

"Oto's Invitation" (音の誘い, Oto no Izanai) is episode 109 of the original Naruto anime.
Sasuke briefly battles with the Sound Four members, though they quickly gain the upperhand. After they explain that they were once on Sasuke's level though got stronger once joining Orochimaru, they extend an invitation to Sasuke to accompany them to Orochimaru's lair. After doing so, they leave, allowing Sasuke to consider the matter. The appeal of gaining strength is too much to turn down, and Sasuke makes his way for Konoha's exit. On his way, he meets Sakura, who realises that Sasuke is about to turn his back on the village. She pleads with him to stay, telling him how much she loves him, even offering to help him with his revenge. Unfortunately, she is unable to convince him. Sasuke's cryptic last words before swiftly knocking her out and departing are "Sakura… thank you". He knocks her out then leaves Konoha in the company of the Sound Four.

Recchi In Charge At Audi Melges 32 World Championship
23 September 2009
The first day of racing at the Audi Melges 32 World Championship, hosted by Yacht Club Costa Smeralda was nothing short of spectacular, not to mention delivered no surprises. At the end of the day, topping the 30-boat fleet is Claudio Recchi on ITA-93 Team 93. In second overall is Joe Woods on GBR-500 Red and Pieter Taselaar on USA-169 Bliksem is seated third.
Racing commenced on time under partly cloudy skies and moderate breezes with the left side of the line strongly favored. Upwind, the right initially appeared to be productive, however the left proved to be the side that catapulted Woods with David Lenz calling the shots to the front of the pack, leading the charge by a nice margin. Rounding second was Giovanni Maspero on ITA-999 Joe Fly and Andrea Cecchetti on ITA-753 Bagua with Vasco Vascotto as tactician. Downwind, Woods poured on the speed placing him at the gate well ahead of the rest of the fleet and back out to the left for pressure. Recchi chased Woods back upwind, passing Maspero and Armando Guilietti helming ITA-1 Uka Uka Racing for Lorenzo Santini and Cecchetti. Woods won the first race by what seemed to be a mile, Recchi took second and Maspero third.
For the second race of the day, the breeze dropped off slightly as another course four was posted on the board at 060, with an approaching weather system off to the east for the start. Once more Woods look to have a nice start, as did Recchi and Vincenzo Onorato on ITA-2121 Mascalzone Latino with with tactician Adrian Stead at his side. Onorato got the upper hand upwind charging the mark in first, Recchi right on his heels in second, Cecchetti in third. Recchi took the lead almost instantly from Onorato. An amazing downwind drag race with Onorato placed Recchi at the gate first, then proceeded to extended his lead back upwind with Taselaar finding his way into the number two position. Onorato slipped back into third for the final downwind run to the finish. Recchi was first across the line, Taselaar settled for second and across the line in third was Onorato.
Looking to day two at the Audi Melges 32 World Championship in Porto Cervo, Italy, four points separate Recchi from Woods in the overall points standings with Taselaar only one point further back. In fourth is Stefano di Properizio on ITA-651 Mataran and in fifth is Cecchetti.
Top Ten Results (After 2 Races)
1.) Claudio Recchi, 2-1 = 3
2.) Joe Woods, 1-6 = 7
3.) Pieter Taselaar, 6-2 = 8
4.) Stefano di Properizio, 7-4 = 11
5.) Andrea Cecchetti, 5-7 = 12
6.) Lanfranco Cirillo, 9-5 = 14
7.) Giovanni Maspero, 3-12 = 15
8.) Vincenzo Onorato, 12-3 = 15
9.) Armando Guilietti/Lorenzo Santini, 4-11 = 15
10.) Francesco Martino, 8-8 = 16
