Introducing the newest and latest model of the iPod Touch 4th Generation! The latest model of the iPod touch now has Facetime, Retina Display, HD Video Recording, and Game Center! What are all of these new things, you might ask?
To start off, Facetime enables you to have video call sessions between iPod touch. So if you have friends or family that also have the same iPod touch generation as you, you can talk to them via video chat! Retina display makes everything you see on your new iPod more clearer than ever. The HD video recording allows you to share, edit and record with amazing high-definition quality...No more annoying fuzziness! With the help of the new A4 chip and Game Center, you are now able to enjoy playing your favorite iPod games with anyone in the world.
Along with these new fantastic additions, the newest iPod touch is available in 8, 32 and 64 gigabytes. Also, when fully charged, it will last an amazing 7 hours with 40 hours of playback time, which is pretty neat.
This iPod touch is also environmentally-safe; Its display glass is completely arsenic free. Also, The LCD display is mercury free. This iPod is brominated flame-retardant free, PVC free, smaller and lighter than previous generations.
This iPod is practically like a mini-computer that can fit in your hand! This is by far the best generation of the iPod touch ever. The only thing that I don't like about it is the chrome backplate. It collects fingerprints and scratches so easily...Apple should really do something about that. So be sure to get a protective case so that you can prevent scratches and fingerprints.
Other than that, this is a pretty awesome mp3 player.
Body: Aside from moving the sleep button to the right and making the back of the device slimmer and more flat, not much has changed. Yes, the chrome back is still there erg! It was so pretty for the first 30 seconds.
Ram: The Ram on the iPod Touch is only 256 MB, so do not believe the talk of 512 MB, it is simply not true.
Wireless: Fully supports A/B/G/N
Vibration: There is no vibration, so do not expect that.
Multitasking: Works real well and very smooth transition
Display: While the display on the iPod is not IPS like the iPhone do not think it suffers in anyway. This display is so beautiful and crisp to look at. I cannot even distinguish the pixels, and text on a website is like you are reading out of a book, it's so refreshing. I played a digital copy of "UP" on here and the colors practically jump off the screen, very nice. Apple's icons are so much more vivid and sharp, while 3rd party developer icons who have yet to make an upgrade for the new displays shows what a step up this new screen has to offer.
Speaker: I am not sure of the quality of the speaker on the 3G iPod Touch, but on my 2G iPod Touch it was very tinny and I only used it for game sound. Here on the 4G there is a new spot on the bottom left for the speaker and it has risen in clarity. Music is very listenable and clear, however nothing replaces a good set of earbuds, but when you're in a jam, you won't be gritting your teeth with this speaker.
Processor: The new Apple processor is a sure win for this device. Everything loads very fast and switching from one screen to another is very swift and smooth. Crash Bandicoot finally has a nice framerate to play with on this iPod and for once I did not regret buying that game.
Front Camera: This is the camera that is primarily used for Facetime. It's resolution is at 640 X 480. After taking a few pictures with it, you will notice how it is really not for taking stills, but works fine for videochatting (which I have not tried, but did run some video tests with it). Obviously Facetime will work better in well lit areas, but then again, doesn't any camera?
Rear Camera: Again stills are just so so. What really bugs me is when you go to take a picture, you see how crisp the preview is, then you take the picture and you can see it blur. The tap to focus works nice for adjusting exposure and well lit photos look very decent on the display. It's when you upload them to your computer when you notice how not so decent they actually are. While this may be a negative for many people, if you are like me, you want to just upload photos with this device to FaceBook and capture funny moments with the video camera. If I want to take a really awesome picture, I'll pull out my DSLR, but for me this iPod's capabilities are more than adequate for my quick shooting of certain events. The video captures quite nicely, while not superb like an actual HD camcorder does enough for me for again, capturing fun moments. Don't worry, you don't cringe while watching the video, it's more than adequate and produces vibrant colors and a fast framerate. Some may complain on this, and believe me those reviews will be here shortly, but then again why not buy an HD Camcorder that is made for HD content? (I'm not ignorant to HD quality either, I'm a huge fan of it. I run a 3D 65'' 1080p display with Blu-ray and Dolby Tru-HD decoding surround sound system)
Microphone: Testing out Skype my friend told me I was coming in loud and clear
-Don't need any contracts with wireless providers to use any of the features on iPod touch all can be accessed using WiFi
-TWO camera's, front camera for video chat (facetime, skype etc), rear camera is for regular picture and video recording (you can also take pictures and record videos with front camera too!)
-High resolution 720p video recording from back camera at 30 fps and 960 x 640 still photos.
-high resolution retina display for sharper quality on the interface
-very light weight and even skinnier than previous generations, 101 g (3.6 oz), 111 × 58.9 × 7.2 mm (4.4" × 2.3" × 0.28")
-flat back so no more wobbling when laying on a flat surface unlike previous generations of iPod touches which had a curved back.
-Microphone next to back camera to use while video chatting or for audio recording.
-Even though it doesn't have the instant 'Phone' capabilities of the iPhone you can still use the microphone with a social networking app like Skype or Facetime to make the iPod function as an iPhone 4
-Processor and all features is same as 32/64 GB 4th gen iPod touches, only difference is the storage capacity
-Battery life: 7 Hours video or 40 Hours audio
-Display 3.5" LCD screen (89 mm); 2:3 aspect ratio; 24-bit color, glossy glass-covered LED-backlit LCD, 960×640 px at 326 ppi
-Though it says 8 GB, you will actually only have 6.5 GB of free space.
-Primary camera on the back is only .7 megapixel which is pretty bad and equal to the quality you find on any cheap camera phones. You can still download apps to slightly improve the quality of pictures but the hardware can only do so much.
-Does NOT support 3G or 4G data connection only WiFi via 802.11n (2.4 GHz)
-Tough to connect USB recharging Dock connector to the back, you feel like you are jamming it in since the iPod touch is so thin, you feel as though you might be damaging it internally just by having to force it in.
-Speakers are now on the bottom left side of the iPod touch next to the dock connector and a lot smaller (by appearance) than the previous generations.
-Power button is now on top right
-in place of where the speaker used to be in the older generations, now features the back camera lens and a small hole next to it which is the microphone.
-Volume control is now two separate buttons for volume up & down instead of a roller.
As a newbie with no ipod Touch experience and no manual, I am amazed at HOW GREAT this product is! Manuals can be had free at www.apple.com. The charge/sync cable by Apple was the only issue I had. It fell apart. Most cables have two release tabs on the side. This one does not have these. A newbie assumes you pull on this connector from the top and bottom. WRONG!!! Hold the connector on the sides to loosen it since you will have pressure on the plastic hooks inside. The cable that goes into the Touch has two plastic right 90 degree 1/8 inch hooks on the right and left ends of the connector. The wires inside are tiny and easily broken if the connector comes apart. A dab of silicon is the only thing that prevents these hooks from coming undone. I bought 3 non-Apple charge/sync cables on Ebay. I was not going to pay Apple 30 for a crappy cable. This is the only weakness I see.
Music sync was awesome and a no brainer. Just plug it in. There are so many apps for free or .99 cents. I have a Blackberry and Apple is blowing everyone away. I have Soundhound for telling me what a song is that I am listening to on the radio. Awesome. Just search on Google for the best apps and then push the App Store on the Touch.(must have itunes on Windows or Mac first with an account on the store). Downloads are quick.
I am impressed with these apps. Quick list of some I downloaded
Facebook,Mint.com,Google Earth,Netflix,IMDB,Springpad,Amazon,The Weather Channel,Whitepages,Mapquest,Fandango,Pandora,LoseIt,Ebay,Wikipedia,Camera+,Tune-In Radio,Pack and Go,WedMD,Google,wifi Finder,Milpon,Words Free,Mirror,USA Today,GasBuddy,Skype,Mirror. I really like Camera+ app. This camera takes awesome photos. How many times does your camera sit in a drawer?
Get the 64GB touch. No contract. Lots of Space. Great music listening. I had two other ipods(a classic and a Nano) before. This makes EVERYTHING ELSE obsolete. It is a computer in your pocket. Enjoy the apps. The wifi finder app shows you where Wifi signals are. It is LIFE CHANGING. If only Apple had better cables. Have a great day!
I've been having a blast getting to know the 64GB iPod touch. Because I bought it used, there was not an operation manual that came with it--which has worked out fine because the controls are fairly intuitive. It did take me a while to realize that I could completely power it down with the button on the top of the unit, but that is relatively minor. My biggest peeve with this unit is that the battery does not last long. If I'm playing one of the games I purchased off of iTunes, the battery lasts only about two hours. I haven't tried just playing music or a video to see how long the battery would last. Thankfully, the battery recharges fairly quickly--it's gone from completely dead to fully charged in about an hour. It would be nice if Apple would include a wall charger with these units along with the USB cable.

Smokers costing Cumbria's economy £137m a year, says NHS
Published at 16:09, Tuesday, 09 October 2012
The staggering cost of smoking to Cumbria's economy has been revealed as £137 million-a-year.
Figures released to the News & Star show the bulk of that tab is being picked up by businesses losing out because of the fallout from their employees' habit.
Councils also have to pick up a multi-million pound bill for clearing the mess that smokers leave behind.
NHS Cumbria says the cost to the county from smoking is £19m more than the amount smokers hand over in tax.
And it is a bill that public health partnership specialist Sue Sear says the county cannot afford to pick up, particularly against the tough financial backdrop of the double-dip recession.
She said: "The cost of smoking is too high a price for Cumbria to pay. Not only does smoking claim the lives of 900 people each year, it also has a negative impact on our economy."
Figures released by NHS Cumbria were compiled by anti-smoking group ASH.
They break down the £137m into five separate areas.
The majority of the figure - £95m - is being met by employers. This includes lost productivity from smoking breaks, the cost of sick leave among smokers and reduced economic output due to early deaths. Research also reveals that treating diseases caused by smoking is costing the NHS in Cumbria £27m a year.
A further £7m relates to lost output due to deaths caused by passive smoking, while £3m is spent on cleaning up smoking-related litter.
Finally, the cost of fires caused by smoking now stands at about £5m a year. In contrast, the total amount of tobacco tax the Government receives from Cumbrian smokers is less – £118m.
Mrs Sear said: "Taking all the costs of smoking into account, the tax paid on tobacco products falls nearly £19m short of the cost to the county's economy."
The public health expert is one of Cumbria's strongest advocates in the anti-smoking lobby. She hopes the statistics will encourage more people in Cumbria to kick the habit.
Her calls coincide with the Stoptober campaign – a national mass-quit attempt currently underway in Cumbria. They also come as councils in the county toughen their stance on cleaning up after smokers.
In Carlisle, the city council has launched a clean-up campaign, an element of which involves stopping people stubbing out on pavements.
Elsie Martlew, the councillor responsible for the environment, said: "I just don't understand why people start smoking. It's worrying because we are seeing lots of youngsters and a lot of young girls, smoking. I don't know how we get the message across that smoking kills."
She added that the council is now targeting people who drop cigarette butts with £80 on-the-spot fines.
Anyone who wants help giving up smoking can contact the county's free Stop Smoking Service on 01900 324222 or visit their GP or local pharmacy.

Have your say
@ Shock and Awe,I do not partake in alcohol so please desist from slandering me in such a way.
On your second point, I have had to watch my own family torn apart by drug abuse which started off as 'having a sneaky fag behind the sheds with mates' then progressed to cannabis and heroin.
Think before you attack others for having an opinion other than your own.
The emperors new clothes blames smoking ban on landlords loosing money...ha. It's the silly prices they charge for a pint of shandy,,,, never mind a Guinness. That's what drives folk away. The only people who can afford a pint now are on benefits with 6 kids and no rent , poll tax or mortgage to pay.

St. Cloud St. beats North Dakota 5-2ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — Drew LeBlanc scored twice in the second period Saturday, helping St. Cloud State beat North Dakota 5-2.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — Drew LeBlanc scored twice in the second period Saturday, helping St. Cloud State beat North Dakota 5-2.
An early 10-minute penalty for checking from behind caused problems for North Dakota, as St. Cloud State's Jonny Brodzinski scored as the penalty expired. UND never recovered.
"We got through it, but we burned a lot energy killing it," North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol said. "In the last 35 minutes we never got back to our game."
UND's Drake Caggiula scored to make it 1-1 heading into the second period. But LeBlanc broke the tie and gave the Huskies insurance with his fifth goal of the season.
North Dakota tried to rally with a goal from Dillon Simpson in the second. St. Cloud State's Garrett Milan and Jimmy Murray piled it on in the third period, with a goal each.
Clarke Saunders made 32 saves for UND and Ryan Faragher had 22 for SCSU (6-4-0, 4-2-0).
UND (4-3-1, 2-1-1 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) hadn't lost in St. Cloud on a Saturday in 10 years. It broke a 10-year winless Friday streak by topping the Huskies 3-0. The teams split this weekend's series.

Ruggies? I don't think so.

Thought they might stop some of the coming in the door stuff on the bottom of the shoes and dogs feet. Rug slid off the Ruggies and I did the sliding. Not safe in my book.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

About Me Coupon Saver, Smart buyer
I put these on the corners of my rug which I didn't want to keep moving around, and my rug still moved around. It doesn't feel like there are grippers on the side that touches the floor. I would like to return these but I didn't keep the packaging.
Over rated!

I bought the rug grippers for rugs near doorways that I didn't want my dog to push away. They stick to the floor but NOT to the rug. A total waste of money!!

Mt. Pleasant / Charleston KOA
[ 8/10 ]
VERY nice park, but VERY expensive. Lots to do, though, so, overall, it was a great place. Clean, quiet, VERY pretty lake, and the kids had a blast. Only complaints are the price and that the interior lots were a little cramped for a big rig (but we did get in just fine since I'm a great driver - grin). Would definitely stay here again, but it would help to win the lottery first!
Augusta, Georgia
Heritage RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
First of all, this is CASH ONLY. I had enough, but it was a surprise. The park was a little cramped, but we were only on a one night stopover, so it was fine. Internet was FANTASTIC, and the park was clean and quiet. There were no activities at all, though. It's right next to a long term mobile home park, but that was not a problem. Would stay here again, but only on a stopover.
Montgomery, Texas
Lake Conroe / Houston North KOA
[ 9/10 ]
Nice park, but a little off the beaten path, especially if you want to go to, say, Houston, which is 54 miles away. But, the park is clean and has LOTS of stuff for kids. Friendly staff, too. Overall, a very nice place. We have stayed before, and will stay again.
Robert, Louisiana
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park
[ 1/10 ]
VERY disappointing park. We booked about three days in advance and they told us how great the activities were, etc., but when we got there, they told us that the activities did not begin until the Monday after we checked out. Yet, they charged us the FULL rate. Then, they bussed in SEVEN buses of inner city kids to use the pool while were there. Nothing against inner city kids, but I paid full rate and did not expect the general population to swim with me. The staff was less than helpful, and didn't really care about our claim that we paid full rate for basically no activities. This, in my experience, is typical of Yogi Bear parks. Again, VERY disappointing. I will NOT stay here again.
Auburn, Alabama
Auburn RV Park at Leisure Time Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Nice place, but a little over advertised. The waterpark next door (the very reason we came with the kids) was closed due to a "management dispute." I don't blame this on the campground, but when I asked him two days before arrival what activities they had for the kids, he said, "We have a waterpark right next door." Wish he'd have told me it was closed. In any event, the park was clean, quiet, and flat, and the manager was VERY nice.
Arkadelphia, Arkansas
Arkadelphia Campground
[ 7/10 ]
We "reserved" a "full hook-up" pull through site. When we got here, they didn't keep the reservation. The site we got was okay, but not level. Cramped and small park, but pretty clean. Real nice guy in charge. Easy on/off. Would probably stay again.
Cave City, Kentucky
Cave Country RV Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Pretty nice place. Easy on/off, clean, flat, open, easy to navigate around. Not a lot of amenities, and not real kid friendly. Would probably stay again.
Granger, Indiana
South Bend / Elkhart North KOA
[ 6/10 ]
Expensive, but pretty clean. Good stuff for the kids. Cramped roads and sites (not real "big rig friendly"). Reasonably centrally located. Wi-Fi very weak. Woman in office was heavily pierced: kind of creepy. Would probably stay again.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Wisconsin State Fair RV Park
[ 4/10 ]
Good: Was easy on/off; level sites; big rig friendly. Bad: VERY noisy. Several campers were still "partying" at 2 a.m.; not a great part of town; no trees. Basically just a parking lot with hook-ups. Would probably not stay again, but might in a real pinch.
Grafton, Ohio
American Wilderness Campground
[ 3/10 ]
Nice entrance, but cramped sites. No sewer. Water hook-up leaked - site partially flooded. Entire campground was, well, less than pretty, although the lake was okay. Overall, a very low-average to average place. Compared to the Willow Park place we left before this, it was fine. But, it is not worth the money and we will not stay here again.
Brunswick, Ohio
Willow Lake Campground
[ 1/10 ]
What a dump. We "reserved" a "full hook-up" pull through site. When we got there, we learned that they don't have 50 amp, sewer, or pull through sites. Can't figure how we reserved one, though. In any event, after navigating VERY cramped streets and low-lying trees, we got to our site. It was only then that we realized that we didn't get what we reserved. Called the office, who basically said, "Oops, did she tell you that?" Long story short, we left. Will never stay here again - would prefer a Walmart parking lot.
Woodbury, Minnesota
St Paul East RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
Excellent campground. A little off the beaten path, but clean, reasonably roomy, LOTS of stuff for the kids, friendly owner, and mostly clean, new rigs. Security is very good. WiFi was very slow, though. A little on the pricey side, but we will probably stay here again if we are in the area. P.S. This is the only campground in nine years of RVing where the owner, when we were leaving, said, "Thanks for staying with us" - usually, it's just a "thanks, have a safe trip."
Cortez, Colorado
Sundance RV Park
[ 5/10 ]
Not a bad place, but hardly "kid friendly." We asked if they had a pool, and they said, "Yes." When we got there, we asked where the pool was, and they directed us to a community pool across a five lane highway, and down the block. Nice pool, but not a place the kids could just go to without supervision. Also, no other kids there. In short, a nice park, but totally for adults only.
Farmington, Utah
Lagoon RV Park and Campground
[ 2/10 ]
We are here right now and are VERY disappointed. We are way in the back right next to the zoo, and it smells like, well, a zoo. The fact that we are right next to the uncovered dumpsters doesn't help. The site was dirty when we got there (bottles and ice cream cups on the table). It is a VERY crowded park, with tight roads, and grass sites (not even gravel). The front office was less than helpful, and less than prompt. The only saving grace is that it is right next to/at an amusement park, but this is also a negative - it's loud. We definitely will not stay here again.
Amarillo, Texas
Amarillo Ranch RV Park
[ 7/10 ]
We've stayed here three times, and it's pretty nice. We really stay here for the location, rather than the quality. It's right off the highway, directly across the street from a terrific water park, and a mile or two from the Big Texan Steakhouse. Big sites, too. Overall, a good park.
Taos, New Mexico
Taos Valley RV Park & Campground
[ 7/10 ]
Pretty nice place. Well located and nice looking. The spaces were a little tight, and the shop had very little supplies. But, there is an Ace Hardware right down the block, and several nice restaurants right near here. And, it's close to all the sites in Taos. We would stay again.

Salem, OR -
02/21/2012 - Our Ocean, a statewide coalition of Oregon conservationists, scientists, ocean users, local and businesses leaders expressed support today for the state legislature's action to designate three marine reserves and protected areas off Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, and Cape Perpetua. Two other marine reserves were implemented in January, at Redfish Rocks near Port Orford and Otter Rock by Depoe Bay. Combining those with the three new sites would create an initial network of marine reserves and protected areas off the Oregon coast. Once the new law is signed by Governor John Kitzhaber and enacted, these designations will serve as "ecological savings accounts" and provide places for plants and animals to spawn and thrive. "This action recognizes the value and pride that Oregonians have for our ocean," said Susan Allen, manager at the Pew Environment Group and director of Our Ocean. "Safeguarding coastal waters preserves their beauty and bounty for us and our children." Our Ocean represents more than 250,000 people from a diverse group of organizations including the Oregon AFL-CIO, Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, and the Oregon Business Association. This designation honors the efforts by volunteers and the consensus building accomplished by coastal communities to create a suite of recommendations that balance the ecological and economic needs of each site individually, and the system collectively. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reported ocean stakeholders invested more than 25,000 hours of volunteer time in 2010 alone. "Marine reserves around the world have demonstrated the value that protecting ocean habitats can have for building resilient local economies and coastal ecosystems," said Robin Hartmann, Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) member and ocean program director of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. "This bill makes it possible to put into place a statewide flagship program that supports an enriched and productive nearshore ocean." "The sum total of all no-take areas in Oregon's ocean will represent just roughly 3 percent of our state's 362-mile coastline now," said Paul Engelmeyer, manager of the Audubon Ten Mile Creek Sanctuary and OPAC member. "Yet combined with neighboring protected areas that make up an additional 5.7 percent of our nearshore habitats, these designations can bolster the health of the ocean and, by extension, our ability to harvest ocean resources more sustainably. We believe this legislation has potential to create a coastal legacy that our children will enjoy for many generations."

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Focusing on themes of love and giving, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints presented its annual Christmas Devotional Sunday evening, carried from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City to a worldwide audience via satellite, the Internet, broadcast media and other means.
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, accompanied by the Orchestra at Temple Square, highlighted the hour-long event with seasonal hymns and carols. The congregation in the 21,000-seat facility joined in on the closing selection "Silent Night."
Church President Thomas S. Monson remarked that the real joy of Christmas is found in making Jesus Christ the focus of the season.
"We can keep him in our thoughts and in our lives as we go about the work he would have us perform here on Earth," he said.
President Monson touched on a theme that has frequently been a part of his sermons and writings over the years: love, kindness and service to the elderly.
He recalled the wisdom of a gray-haired woman named Melissa, who was the president of the local Primary organization he attended as a boy growing up in the church. She elicited from him a promise to help her get his Primary class to be reverent during meetings. That resolved the situation.
"She had gone to the source of the problem – me," he said.
He told of visiting her at Christmas time many years later after she had grown old and gone to live in a Salt Lake City nursing home. He found her in the lunchroom, staring at her meal. She seemed unresponsive to his presence. But he took her fork in hand and began to feed her, talking all the while about her service to boys and girls as a Primary worker.
As he stood to leave, he said, "God bless you, Melissa. Merry Christmas." Suddenly, she responded, "I know you. You're Tommy Monson, my Primary boy. How I love you."
President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, spoke of "the perfect gift," which he defined as Heavenly Father's gift of his beloved son, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world.
"In token of this greatest of gifts, the Christmas season becomes for most of us a time of finding joy in giving to others," President Eyring said.
He spoke of the challenge of providing suitable gifts for loved ones and related his own experience in designing and building a wooden chest for his wife, an endeavor that required the generous help of others who had the tools and skills he lacked.
President Eyring said shared joy can come from creating and offering simple gifts of love.
"Both giver and recipient can remember Christ and feel love and gratitude," he said.
Gifts of love are offered by young men and young women in the church who are baptized in temples on behalf of those who have died; by church missionaries who offer the gift of eternal life and spiritual testimony to others; and by families who give gifts of love and testimony through music as well as words, President Eyring commented.
President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency, said in his address that every gift offered at Christmas time – especially one that comes from the heart – is an opportunity to build or strengthen a bond of love.
"When we are good and grateful receivers, we open a door to deepen our relationship with the giver of the gift," President Uchtdorf said. "But when we fail to appreciate or even reject a gift, we not only hurt those who extend themselves to us, but in some way, we harm ourselves as well."

Dusit Thani Bangkok receives Top 25 Best Conference Hotels Award
Vijay Verghese, Editor & Director of Smart Travel Asia presents to Dusit Thani Bangkok's acting General Manager, Alex Willats, the certificates of award for the Tenth Best Conference Hotel and 25th Best Business Hotel in Asia, which deluxe 5-stars hotel won in connection with the Best of Travel 2011. Winners in the Best in Travel awards are voted by the readers of SmartTravelAsia.com.
Smart Travel Asia is the region's only dedicated online travel magazine with over one million readers worldwide. These are frequent travellers in the know. We offer review-based editorial written by seasoned journalists to help people make intelligent choices.
The SmartTravelAsia.com 2011 BEST IN TRAVEL POLL – now in its seventh year – is a distillation of readers' perceptions and favourite travel brands. The vote is based on actual travel experience, word-of-mouth, as well as an idea of the brand drawn from ads and PR
Approximately 60 percent were based in Asia (largely Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and the Middle East), 20 percent in UK/Europe and 20 percent in USA and North America. As many as 92.4 percent of the voters said they drew their primary image of brands from the Internet and 88.8 percent said they made travel decisions online. However, just 36% said they book online, many preferring to talk with a human being especially for high-end bookings. Most readers said they went online primarily to seek independent "reviews and information" first and not just the "best price".
Here then, are the winners of the SmartTravelAsia.com 2011 BEST IN TRAVEL POLL. These lists of leading "aspirational" brands offer insight into business and leisure travel preferences at the mid to upper end of the market. There were no nominations or limits on which readers could vote for. Readers picked products from thousands of possible choices in Asia.

jSmaTeP assists in the use of Java for processing import and export data by configuring a data structure rather than by programming it. The structure of the import data is specified in an XML file. jSmaTeP then generates a value object representing exactly one row or record in the import file based on a given XML data configuration. This means that if the import or export format changes, only the XML data configuration needs to be changed to match it.
i-net Doqua is an Eclipse plug-in that helps documentation writers and developers to keep track of inconsistencies between style guides and the actual documentation. The system integrates into the Eclipse IDE and introduces a new perspective and several views. Since i-net Doqua uses standard JUnit testcases to check the documentation, you can trigger checks using Hudson or similar Ant based systems.

NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- A dangerous journey through the heady years of the 1970's when porn was profitable, illegal and a loadstone for gangsters and profiteers attracted by easy cash from 8 mm smut loops.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121220/CG33425)
Probably one of the most influential sociological changes since the industrial revolution, the advent of hardcore sex films in public places, stripped away much of the quasi-moral vestiges of the ninetieth century Victorian era. It was a time when mores, morals and modesty changed inexorably. Porn was not the only sociological shift; it was happening in the arts, politics and society in general. Whether pornography was a catlist or a by-product of this change is difficult to cleave, but for certain it played a big part in challenges for first amendment rights.
Literally at fox hole, basement level, I witness the paradigm shift from titillation to penetration in motion pictures. I paralleled the legal adjustments, while making films, and watched as the public demanded the ability to watch what they wanted. It was an important slice of American culture witnessing implications of the past and the impact to the future.

Cyndi Lauper's New Reality Show "Still So Unusual" Debuts Saturday Night on WE tv
It's been 30 years since Cyndi Lauper's breakthrough album She's So Unusual was released, but the star is still quirky and offbeat, as you'll see in her new reality show Cyndi Lauper: Still So Unusual, premiering Saturday night on WE tv.
The show follows Cyndi as she tries to balance her music career with the responsibilities of being a mom to her 14-year-old son Declyn, and a wife to her husband of 20 years, actor David Thornton -- a feat that Cyndi calls "the struggle of the juggle."
Viewers will come along for the ride as Cyndi works on her upcoming Broadway musical Kinky Boots, appears on The Voice, serves as the Grand Marshal of a parade at the Kentucky Derby, writes her autobiography, works with her True Colors charitable foundation and deals with wardrobe malfunctions, production delays and everything else that comes along with being a globe-trotting pop star with several generations of fans.
"It's a must see!" says Cyndi. "C'mon! You'll laugh, you'll cry, it's better than Cats!"
The first episode premieres Saturday night at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and the second episode will air right after that.

Or, perhaps you might have a friend or relative you want to give the book to, in an awkward holiday moment in which you basically imply he or she needs a book to help with their child. ;) In any case, you want the book? It's easy to win. You can either:
a) Comment in this post about why you want the book
b) Comment on the Facebook page for the blog about why you neeeeeeed the book.
c) Tweet @studentsgrow about why you want the book and use hashtag #schoolpsychology
Aaaaaaand go.

Win Nerdy Stuff!
I wonder if the day will come when I start a new blog post without a sheepish apology for the mega-lag time between posts. Perhaps when Toddler B is in college.

It's Pre-order Time!
Hi friends,
You know what takes a lot of executive functioning skills? Writing a book on executive functioning. For those of you who follow my Facebook page for the blog, you probably got my random posts about how I was ironically stuck on the chapter on task completion, or couldn't get started on the chapter on task initiation.
I should back up. I guess I assumed you all have your finger on the pulse of my writing career. I wrote a book about how to support children's executive functioning skills (all the planning, organizing, and self-regulation skills kids need to reach their goals). The fine folks at the "Everything" Guides contacted me with an idea to write a book that would explain executive functioning to parents and give them practical day-to-day advice about how to support executive functioning. The book covers how to support and develop the "Top Ten Executive Functions" including:
- Task Initiation
- Response inhibition (controlling impulses)
- Focus
- Time management
- Working memory
- Flexibility
- Self-regulation
- Completing tasks
- Organization

Horrible Books for Children
|Looks like a fun and jaunty little tale, right?
Thursday, August 15, 2013
Alright kittens, I am ready to give away The School Psychologist's Survival Guide, as promised. YOU ARE ALL WINNERS!*
Actually, I ranked your comments here and on the Facebook page for the blog and put them into a random number generator (nerd alert!) and the winner of the book is......
Ashley (Sweet Carolina Belle)
Message me for your pressie, Ashley! You are guaranteed the best school year EVAH.
*In my heart. Not actually winners of an actual prize.

GAK. It's August.
The second the calendar turns to August, I feel like my summer is over.* But school psychs (and teachers) know what I am talking about...June is basically a detox month, July is the relaxing one, and August is the gearing up month. Even though I have a few weeks before we report back, August 1st starts a month of mental preparation to go back to school. There are a few rituals I have in order to psych (pun intended) myself up for going back.
Of course, back to school shopping helps ease the transition, because who doesn't love a good trip to Office Depot for pencils and nerd supplies? I went today, and I was lucky that Toddler B was over it in 10 minutes or I could have spent a bajillion dollars. Once your toddler starts running down the aisles screaming, "Chase! Chase!" it sort of ruins the zen moment of selecting the perfect ballpoint pens for writing poignant notes to parents and teachers.
Next, I make a new school year's resolution, like "I won't take more than 3 reports home per semester" or "I will start a girls' counseling group disguised as a knitting club."** Making a new school year's resolution helps me set a positive intention for the school year and helps me pick a manageable improvement goal.
So how can I help ease your transition back to school? I'm not Oprah, so I can't put a Nordstom's gift card under your chair and declare "Evvvvvvverybody gets a new back to school wardroooooooobe!" But I can offer a little book I like to call, The School Psychologist's Survival Guide.*** Evvvvveryone gets a copyyyyyyyyyy! Oh wait, I have Oprah generosity on a school psych budget. Okay, I can offer ONE lucky reader a copy of my book for back to school preparation! You can vow that this is the year you get organized and shape up your forms and report templates and all that jazz, and my book can hopefully help you with that. Or you can enjoy your last precious weeks and just put the book on your shelf for October when your back to school enthusiasm has fizzled out and you have a hojillion IEPs overdue.
So, how do you win the book? Just comment here or on the Facebook page for the blog about how you gear up for back to school, or a new school year's resolution and I will input your names into a random generator and announce the winner. Yippee!
*I know, boo-frickin-hoo, at least I get summers off. I'm pretty sure my non-school employee friends with their sad little 2 weeks off a year stopped reading this post after the first sentence.
**I actually did this a few years ago. It was super fun, but my principal had concerns. I believe her quote was, "You want to introduce sharp objects with those mean girls?" I am proud to say it was a gouge-free zone all year.
***Because that is what it is called.

My blog is not dead.
Hello kittens! My blog is still alive. Sort of.
Anyone here have a toddler? I am currently watching mine through my video monitor, talking about her day in a Faulkner-esque stream of consciousness and pushing her baby doll around in her stroller instead of sleeping. I figure as long as she's no longer screaming, "MAMA!!!! HUG!!!!!" over and over again, she'll be fine.
I can hardly blame Toddler B for my lack of writing. I can blame only myself. It is true that the second I pull out my laptop, no matter how engaged she is in something, there are requests for videos of The Count or Elmo, banging on the keyboard, and it turns out it's a bit hard to ignore a small person crawling all over you to get a better view of the screen. And I DIE when she laughs maniacally like The Count after every number. ONE! AH HA HA. TWO! AH HA HA. Plus, I'd much rather be playing dress up or teaching her phonological awareness and concepts of print skills* than looking at a computer screen, so I barely dust off the old girl.
Actually, the real reason I've been MIA is because mama is writing another book! I am on Chapter 19 of 20 and in an ironic twist, I am procrastinating writing the chapter on task completion even though I am so close. A girl gets tired after 18 chapters, what can I say?
So stay tuned for your regularly scheduled blog in a few weeks. And very soon, get ready for a book on executive functioning that will rock your nerdy world! NERDS....UNITE!!!
*I know you're wondering it. Yes, Toddler B has fantastic concepts of print. Also, the other day I'm pretty sure she was using textual evidence to support inferences within a non-fiction text.

Bay Lake >Food & Dining > Victoria & Albert's
4401 Grand Floridian, Lake Buena Vista, FL | Directions 3283028.200819 -82.723443
Neighborhoods: Bay Lake
Romantic atmosphere and wonderful food. Worth every penny. You'll be pampered and feel like royalty. – This is my husband and my "special occasion" restaurant. We go for the Chef's Table every time we can get a reservation. We have NEVER been disappointed. The food is always superb. The combinations are inventive without getting ridiculous. We always leave stuffed. Everything is delicious and even though you receive "samplings" of each dish, there is nothing that I would not want in a full portion. The food is always cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. What's not to like when one of the courses is a CHOCOLATE course!! The chef is informative and gracious and his approach to cooking is to use the best ingredients available. The Kobe Beef is always tender and flavorful. It is pricey, but you get what you pay for and here you pay for excellence. Go hungry and enjoy an evening to remember.
Not impressed – The food was good but not good enough to be voted to be the best French food in Orlando.
The menu looked great but the food itself is not as good as we thought. Foie gras was as good as people say. Other than that, nothing is outstanding. The fish was too dry. The kobe beef was not tender enough to be considered a 'kobe' beef. The wine paring was ok but not great. Coffee is fun to watch but it is just a regular coffee you can make at home. However, the Earl Grey tea was exceptional.
What we disspointed most was the service. If you have been to the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta, you will know what the good service should be. Our servers don't seem like they are happy at what they are doing.
After all, it is a good food but doesn't worth $400.
Top Notch Dining Experience – This restaurant ranks as one of the best. We went for an anniversary dinner and they made us feel very welcome and special. I like the intimate dining rooms and the individual attention given to us. The quality and presentation of the food is superb. The servings were small, but amazingly you get very full. The attentiveness of the service was unlike anywhere we dined before. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant. Although, the menu is pricey - it is worth it, especially for a special occassion.
A Victorian setting and sumptuous cuisine make this the grande dame of Central Florida dining. – The Scene
Located in Disney's elaborate Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the interior has been decorated to resemble Queen Victoria's dining rooms. Service is exquisite. Each table receives the courteous, impeccable service of its own maid and butler.
The Food
The menu changes often, and it's impossible to say exactly what it may hold during your visit. But rest assured that everything will be delicious. If available, opt for the appetizer of pheasant breast served with blackberry glaze. For salads, try the unique blend of spinach, watercress and endive dressed in Gorgonzola and garnished with quail eggs. Main courses are varied, from veal topped with a sliver of white truffle to mahi mahi crusted with horseradish.
Delectable!! – Victoria & Albert's provides a quiet, romantic setting featuring candlelight, a harpist, and both a waitress and butler in 1920 period dress for your table. The food is amazing, right down to the artistic presentation and perfect temperature. Available with dinner is wine service featuring a specially selected wine per each selection from their seven-course menu. I was definitely impressed with the quality of food and the novel percolator (for coffee). My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, they customized our menus accordingly, and each staff member who helped us told us 'Congratulations.' At the end, we were presented with a special gift card of chocolate. It's definitely worth the money and is sure to become an anniversary tradition! 5/26/04 Update! We went back this year for our anniversary - it was better than last year!! Oh, if Foie Gras is on the menu - go for it!!!
Amazing – I've been to V & A's twice now and all I can say is that it was as amazing the second time around. The service is impeccable, the food extraordinary and the room exquisite. Definitely try the wine paring with your meal. Its worth it.
Outstanding – If you can afford it, this restuarant is the place to go for a special occasion, or anytime you are interested in finding out what perfection really is! From the staff to the ambiance to the magnificant menut, this fine dining restuarant is unbeatable. Disney really knows how to go all out-- even after all the great things I heard about this restuarant, it still surpassed all my wildest expectations! Everyone should have a dinner like this at least once in their lifetime!
I can only say perfect. Service perfect, food perfect, wine perfect
Fine dining at its very best. – We have dined around the world. Victoria and Albert's is one of the very finest with the best service and it is just outside our back door. Some times we wonder why we travel. Thanks Victoria. Thanks Albert. We will return to dine with you very soon.
absoluetly extraordinary dining – if you want theming and speciality right down to the napkin and fork, this is the place to go....but be dressed to impress becuase they have a dress code)(no tank tops i believe). TRy to get the chefs table and dine right in the kitchen with the chef-very romantic....exquisite food-didnt have 1 thing that wasnt awesome..save room for dessert...make sure to make reservations

SuperTrapp muffler inventor, Paul Moller, created and patented the first motorcycle exhaust product in 1971. This technology allows the rider to adapt their bike, or ATV, to a specific riding environment. This is accomplished through a series of discs with a precisely aligned diameter that form the exhaust outlet. By adding or subtracting discs, the rider can tune the powerband and sound of their machine easily with basic hand tools.
Adding discs increases the exhaust outlet and decreases back pressure. This widens the powerband at the top end. It also increases exhaust tone and leans out carburetion. Removing discs decreases the exhaust opening and increases back pressure. This effectively decreases the powerband to create more low-end torque. It also decreases exhaust tone and enriches carburetion. Most SuperTrapp systems come with installation instructions that indicate the recommended number of discs for each application.
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Supertrapp produces a full line of aftermarket exhaust systems, also owns and manufactures Kerker brand exhausts, Mean Mothers drag pipes, and the Road Legends series of drag pipes. Supertrapp exhaust is also the OEM supplier on major domestic and international parts and accessory programs of many major motorcycle manufacturers for larger distributors in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Out of the more than 200 motorcycle exhaust manufacturers worldwide, Supertrapp ranks among the top five in performance exhaust market sales.

Reviews for Shrimp Monterey(40)
Sort By :
This wasn't nearly as good as I'd hoped. Somehow seafood and cheese just never turns out good.
Have made this a few times. Each time trying to get more sauce to put over pasta. Very good flavor. Really like it.
A perfect dish to have for a special occasion.
The shrimp was great!! I poured it over some white rice and I doubled up the sauce to pour onto the rice. Everyone loved it and ate them right up.
I been making this for years. I like to add cooked elbow noodles with the shrimp or chicken and sometimes adding in different kinds of veggies such as broccoli, mushrooms, onions and different types of cheeses. After all mixed together I put ingredients into 4-6 ramekin dishes topped with bread crumbs and parmesan and bake in the oven at 350 until lightly browned. Very quick and easy and tastes good.

Both the Route 37 eastbound Thomas A. Mathis Bridge and the Route 37 westbound J. Stanley Tunney Bridge are safe, according to the state Department of Transportation.
The eastbound bridge, however, had damaged bridge bearings which will require repair.
The eastbound bridge remains closed to traffic because of security concerns and public safety issues on the Seaside Heights side of the bridge, not because of the damage to the bearings, the DOT says.
Details on the repair work necessary and time frame for the eastbound bridge to be reopened will be provided as they become available.
Both spans have been inspected for damage incurred from Hurricane Sandy. Both bridges have been determined to be structurally sound and fit to safely remain in operation, said sokesman Tim Greeley.
Emergency responders and vehicles are being allowed eastbound access using a "contraflow" lane on the westbound bridge.

Network World - Instant-messaging spam - or spim, as it's often called - is beginning its march into the corporate world. Spim isn't nearly the headache that e-mail spam has become, largely because instant messaging isn't as ubiquitous as e-mail in corporate settings and IM spammers are easier to catch with the closed nature of IM networks. But experts predict that unwanted IMs have the potential to wreak just as much havoc as spam.
"So far we're told by customers that [spim] is not a big problem. But we find it hard to imagine that it's not going to turn into a tremendous issue," says Sara Radicati, principal analyst at The Radicati Group. Radicati reports that 26% of companies are using IM as a corporate service, and 44% say employees use IM but it isn't a company standard.
Financial companies are known for their heavy use of instant messaging, but Lee Blackmore, director of IT at Stifel Nicolaus, says he was surprised to learn how widespread IM use was at the Midwestern brokerage house. He was about to ban all use of IM for fear of security breaches that the service can cause, but the company's institutional traders put up a fuss. Instead, he agreed to let the company's 175 traders use any IM service they like and installed IMlogic's IM Manager to control and secure communications.
"My concern [with IM], in running the IT department, was spam, and what people were really using [IM] for," Blackmore says. Although the traders block incoming messages from people who aren't on their contact lists, the majority of them are allowed to use IM to communicate with people outside the company.
As corporate use of IM rises, so does the potential for abuse. With the most popular consumer IM services - namely those from AOL, Microsoft's MSN and Yahoo - available for free, all spammers need is a list of screen names to start clogging these systems with unwanted messages. Granted, it's much harder today to flood networks with IMs than with e-mail because bulk mailing tools and lists of user names aren't readily available to IM spammers. But some say it's just a matter of time.
"God help us if we can't see this thing coming" based on the industry's experience with e-mail spam, says Jon Sakoda, vice president of products at IMlogic, which develops software that adds security to popular IM services.
Much like e-mail spam, spim eats up network resources and drains users' productivity, but has the added punch of creating workplace issues when messages of a sexual nature invade workers' screens.
"There's some real potential danger for corporations," says Matthew Prince, CEO of consulting firm Unspam and an attorney. "Many workers believe that their employer has the duty to protect them from unsolicited and pornographic content. If [the employer] didn't, that would be enough to constitute a hostile work environment."
Despite the potential threats posed to corporations, some of the major IM service providers maintain that spim isn't really an issue. Spim accounts for less than 2% of traffic that crosses Yahoo's IM service, called Yahoo Messenger, says Lisa Pollock Mann, senior director of Yahoo Messenger.
The company makes it difficult for spammers to abuse its service by requiring Yahoo Messenger senders to have a Yahoo ID; obtaining one includes a registration process and an image verification test that automated systems can't pass, she says. Yahoo also monitors its IM network for signs of abuse, such as a high level of message sending, and will kick off any member who violates the terms of service, Mann adds.
However, some experts dispute the IM service providers' claims that spim won't become a major problem. "I'm very skeptical. Years ago if someone had asked them they would have given the same answer about e-mail spam," Radicati says.
