+ Sarasota dad nabs award for baby book
Eric Piazza certainly knows how to one-up new dads.
When his son, Will, was born three years ago, Piazza decided to write a children's book inspired by the one question everyone seemed to ask him after the baby was born: "How did your dogs react?"
Piazza and his wife, Meredith, who moved last January from Baton Rouge, La., to Sarasota, have two 80-pound dogs: Maddie, a black lab mix, and Max, a golden retriever.
The 10-year-old pooches were the couple's first babies.
Although they responded well to the baby on his first day home, a mouse found its way into the Piazza home and scurried across the house in the middle of the night, sending Max and Maddie into a barking frenzy.
Says Piazza: "There was real commotion going on and my wife and I kind of looked at each other and thought, 'Is this how it's going to be every night?'"
Over time things got less chaotic, and one night, as Piazza, a software engineer by trade, was reading a book to Will before bed, he had an a-ha moment.
"I Wonder if the Baby Will Look Like Me," a board book written from the perspective of several household pets, was published one year later. Piazza even formed a small publishing company, Muddy Dog Publishing, to distribute the story.
He entered the book this fall in the Florida Publishers Association's 2011 President's Book Awards.
On Nov. 5, he took the silver medal in the competition's Children's Picture Book category and beat out titles in 17 categories to win the President's Choice Award at a ceremony at the Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel.
Piazza, who now has a 2-month old daughter, Caroline, says he's fielding a new question from family and friends.
They all want to know when Caroline's book will be published.
+ Venice Theatre lures audiences with giveaway
Struggling arts organizations should take note of the clever marketing strategy being implemented this season at the Venice Theatre.
Last weekend, VT held auditions for the world premiere of "Stand by Your Van," a play about a group of people who participate in a competition to win a pick-up truck by standing for hours with their hands on the side of a vehicle.
Directed by English director Paul Bourne, the play will function much like an actual contest with six different endings depending on which character wins the competition.
And here's the kicker: People who buy tickets to see the show, which runs April 3 through April 22, are immediately entered in a chance to win a 2012 Scion IQ from Cramer Toyota.
Sounds like a good time and an excellent opportunity to score a new set of wheels. I've already written the show in my planner. The transmission is failing on my beat-up old Honda, and I'm now too embarrassed to valet park it at events.
+ Famous NYC mime will leave you mum
The FSU Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training only has one fundraiser a year, and this year it's headlined by Bill Bowers.
The New York City-based actor and mime will perform his autobiographical one-man show, "It Goes Without Saying," at 7 p.m. Dec. 9, at the Historic Asolo Theater.
A student of Marcel Marceau, the eccentric Bowers has performed throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. He's appeared on Broadway as Zazu in Disney's "The Lion King" and Leggett in "The Scarlet Pimpernel."
His show — part mime and part monologue — includes funny and heartbreaking stories from Bowers' Montana childhood and showbiz career. A collection of sketches, the work has been compared to the self-deprecating anecdotal storytelling of David Sedaris.
'In the Heights'
at the Van Wezel: This feel-good musical about a Dominican-American neighborhood in New York City was nominated for 13 Tony Awards in 2008. (It won four.) It was a finalist for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and its cast recording won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. It makes its Sarasota premiere at 7 p.m. Nov. 27, at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. For tickets, call 953-3368 or visit vanwezel.org.
Tickets are $75 and include a catered post-performance reception with the artist. For more information, call 351-8000 or visit asolorep.org/conservatory.

There have been very few years since the mid-1970s in which Larry Nixon wasn't preparing to compete in a tour-level championship event when August rolled around. The Arkansas legend has qualified for 25 Bassmaster Classics and 13 Forrest Wood Cups, but he'll miss this year's Cup after a 68th-place finish in the FLW Tour Angler of the Year race.
It's just the second time he's sat out the event (2004 was the other) since 1998.
"I've been pretty lost for the last couple of weeks," he said. "I was out fooling around in my boat and I had to ask myself, 'What are you doing? You're not going to go pre-fish and you don't have a championship coming up. You're not going to fish until (the Detroit River FLW Tour Open) at the end of August."
He placed third behind Kevin Hawk and Cody Meyer the last time the Cup was at Georgia's Lake Lanier in 2010. He likes Meyer's chances this year.
"I really think Cody's going to be tough as nails. He caught them good there last time and he's a really, really impressive deep-water fisherman. I think Brent Ehrler will be right there, too, for the same reason. Whoever can do the best job out deep with their electronics stands a real good chance to win.
"Luke Clausen could also be tough, and Jason Christie is uncannily good in shallow water if the largemouths come into play. He can catch them deep or shallow, but he's about as good in shallow water as anybody I've ever seen. And I don't know what to say about David (Dudley) – he's been so hot that you certainly can't count him out, either."
Fans who attend the Cup will get a chance to meet Nixon at the FLW Expo, which runs Friday through Sunday (Aug. 10-12) at the Gwinnett Convention Center.

Still no invoice in July.
Has anybody received his/her July invoice from Nokia?
Still no invoice in July.
Has anybody received his/her July invoice from Nokia?
Please check Q&A payouts :
Is it your case?When will I receive payment?
Payments will be made 1 month after the first month when the actual payment exceeds € 100.
If the total payment for the year does not exceed € 100, it will be paid out at year's end.
I think it is to early for the next invoice. I think there have to be operators money (six month since last xmas operators invoice), so this invoice have to be much bigger and it'll come as usual in third decade of the month.
Yes, it's my case. My actual payment exceeds € 1000
There may be a delay for July invoices. I don't have any official information but this seems likely. I will update this thread as soon as I find out more.
I also faced problem.
No invoice this month yet.
Reports are broken from 18.08.
Perhaps it is related with the Nokia quarterly report, by which the company's losses amounted to one billion euros?
Andrew AtNokia
Hi everyone!
Here are a few updates on recent questions/issues.
-July payments have been delayed. As of now they are scheduled to be sent out next week, August 1st, but we're trying to get that expedited so they get sent out ASAP.
-There is an issue with publisher reports not updating after July 17. We are working on a fix right now and it should be done this week as early as possible.
- We are currently unable to report on actual revenue. If you have recently sent an email to email@example.com asking for it please be patient, we should be able to get back to you later this week.
- We were expecting Breakdown reports to be operational last week but that has been delayed. Hopefully they will be available very soon, it seems that we are very close to a fix.
Not a lot of good news unfortunately but at least you know what's happening.
And unfortunately it is not the first time it happens, certainly how things work in Nokia also not be the last.
Then when are they going to send out the August invoice after the July one?

La Pomme
Artist: Apol Lejano-Massebieau
Location: Aigues Mortes, southwest France
Web site: La Pomme, La Pomme Stories
Blog: La Pomme
What do you create?
The tag line for my first shop, La Pomme, is "toys for kids big and small." I'm a toy-maker, making plush products out of fabrics. I have a weakness for linen, white cotton, and gingham. If you're wondering what toys for big kids are, that would be soft sculptures, like my swans and my white fruits. I also have these things called Boxed Universes, which are teeny-tiny dioramas that I make inside tin cans or matchboxes.
How did you come up with your business name?
From my first name. I was originally called "Apple," but for some reason at 18 I thought that that was too cloyingly sweet and changed the spelling to what it is now. I live in France and speak French 90-percent of the time, so I called my shop "La Pomme," which is French for "The Apple."
When and why did you decide to start your business?
This may not seem like the most professional of responses, but the truth is that I just fell in love with Etsy and wanted to be part of it. I signed up in October 2006, started really loving the site in early 2007, and by around July or August of 2007, I had set up shop.
Where do you get your inspiration for your projects?
This is a question I always find hard to answer. I don't really know, they just come like a light bulbs turning on in my head, in the form of either a line for a story—and from that I'd create a handmade fairytale book for my bookshop—or as an image. Just the day before yesterday, this very clear image of two white cocoons hanging from a branch popped into my head, and since last night I've been working on transforming that into a soft sculpture using crochet.
Which of the tools you use is your favorite?
My old reliable Singer Starlet from the 1970s, with kitschy orange and yellow flowers decorating the top panel!
What keeps you motivated?
The work itself. The making of these objects give me a lot of happiness.
What would be a dream project that you'd love to work on?
A show where I'd be allowed to create a forest. It would be all in white cotton and white thread. I'd make four-legged creatures and birds. I'd crochet spider webs and white moss. There would be blades of grass made from embroidery floss. It would look absolutely magnificently ethereal!
What advice would you give to someone starting a creative business?
Have focus. I said this already in a past interview but I think it's worth repeating here: You have to learn to control your creative exuberance and not go off in too many directions all at one. Ask yourself what your main product line or service is, and stick to that. For a while, at least. As you grow, you can branch out, but still I think it is important to have it clear in your head what you and your business are about exactly.
What's the most important thing you'd like people to know/understand about your work?
My quick goal is to make people smile. My deeper intent is for my works to help them let their imagination run free for a while.
What has been the most important lesson you've learned while running your business?
To take a break. You'll be producing really crappy work if you're running on empty.
If you had the time, what new craft/medium would you like to learn or use?
I'd love to have the time to learn to hand-print on fabric.
What's your definition of a perfect day?
Lots of good work done, lots of cuddling given and taken, and very good food in between!
Thank you Apol!

A radionuclide cystogram is a special imaging test called a nuclear scan that checks how well your bladder and urinary tract work.
Bladder scan
The specific procedure may vary slightly depending on the reason for the examination.
You will lie on scanner table. After cleaning the urinary opening, the health care provider will place a thin flexible tube, called a catheter, through the urethra and into the bladder. A liquid containing radioactive material flows into the bladder until the bladder is full or you say that your bladder feels full.
The scanner detects radioactivity to check your bladder and urinary tract. When the scan is done depends on the suspected problem. You may be asked to urinate into a urinal, bedpan, or towels while being scanned.
To test for incomplete bladder emptying, images may be taken with the bladder full. Then you will be allowed to get up and urinate into the toilet and return to the scanner. Images are taken immediately after emptying the bladder.
There is no special preparation needed. You will need to sign a consent form. You will be asked to wear a hospital gown. Remove jewelry and metal objects before the scan.
You may feel some discomfort when the catheter is inserted. Catheterization and urination in public -- sometimes, when lying on the table -- may be difficult or embarrassing. You cannot feel the radioisotope or the scanning.
After the scan, you may feel slight discomfort for 1 or 2 days when you urinate. The urine may be slightly pink. If you have persistent discomfort, a fever, or bright red urine, contact your health care provider.
This test is done to see how your bladder empties and fills. It can be used to check for urine reflux or an obstruction in urine flow. It is usually done to evaluate patients with urinary tract infections, particularly children.
A normal value is no reflux or other abnormal urine flow, and no obstruction to the flow of urine occurs. The bladder empties completely.
Abnormal results may be due to:
Risks are the same as for x-rays (radiation) and catheterization of the bladder.
There is a small amount of radiation exposure with any nuclear scan (it comes from the radioisotope, not the scanner). The exposure is less than with standard x-rays. The radiation is very mild, and virtually all radiation is gone in a short time. However, any radiation exposure is discouraged for women who are or might be pregnant.
Risks for catheterization include urinary tract infection and (rarely) damage to the urethra, bladder, or other nearby structures.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Communication is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding. This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. Use of these processes is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occur.
Fundamental Beliefs About Curriculum and Assessment - If there is one unifying theme that crosses all disciplines, it is communication. Communication is our window to basic literacy and academic excellence. Reaching levels of excellence and accuracy of expression mandate mastery of formal English. These are the capabilities that cultivate the potential in each student and the possibilities for our future.
Learning Standards The K-10th grade Communication Learning Standards consist of Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs) and Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) that describe what students should know and be able to do.
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts OSPI and its partners are in a four-phase implementation strategy for the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts.

For sreynith and Borin or any khmer people out there who want to learn how to read and write in khmer. Try this website http://www.learnkhmer.com/
April 25, 2001 at 11:12 pm #4904Hi, your website looks professional but look at your khmer writing was misspelled. Check khmer dictionary before publishing. Thank you
April 26, 2001 at 8:20 am #4923Sethey-
Why you used the mad icon to represent your post? Are you mad at the fact that some Khmers cannot read our own scripture? It is not our fault that we do not have the skill to write Khmer. Although I will try my best to learn what I can form that url you have posted.
April 26, 2001 at 4:03 pm #4941Ok first of all, it is not my website. I just found it on the net that I thought might be useful for people. Also, if you aren't interested just ignore it. I am not saying every khmer people have to know and read khmer. Don't miss understnd. I am only trying to help. Ok?
April 26, 2001 at 5:32 pm #4957Hey, try and not take what I said offensively, I was just sayin.
April 27, 2001 at 8:46 am #4972I want to personally thank Sethey for pointing attention to this site. Our culture starts with our language and without the preservation of our language, it would be the deterioration of our culture.
April 28, 2001 at 7:16 am #4990Thank you for bringing that site to our attention. Like I said before, this site can be helpful if you have the same accent as the person who's speaking. For me, its not the same. I've learned part of the alphabet and it came to my attention that some of the letters that the guy was pronouncing was different than the way my dad taught me. I asked him why and he told me that different Khmer people pronounce and speak differently in different part of Cambodia, just like in America with the English language. You might say "so what, learn to read and write anyway" but that's impossible. If you learn to read and write with a different accent you can confuse your words, that's what my dad said anyway. He advised me not to learn it from there because the accent that I have is from Phomn Penh and others are from wherever.
But this is not to discourage others from going to the site and checking it out. I think you should check it out, but take notice and see if its the same accent as yours. Otherwise, you can be screwed.

296. Regime change of Hongkong (3/12/05)
In later January, when the "dirty bomb" frame case was soured, my relatives came to invite me for a trip to China in April. I thus knew Feds would start another plot two months later. Then news reported Arnold Schwarzenegger would visit China in mid April. I think he would play as a guarantor for the new secret deal.
My message #292 which talked about Israel's control over US touched off a sudden frame attempt on 2/24.(see #294.) After 2/24, they planned something bigger. A regime change in Hongkong. My Revelation touched the nerve of D.O.J..
On 3/2, TV reported that the chief executive of Hong Kong, Tung Chee Hwa, would be stepping down.
It is unusual because there had been great effort to oust Tung Chee Wah before. South-east financial crisis, SARS, had brought Hongkong to a depression. One million people had gone to street demanding Tung's resignation. He passed through the opposition and even got his second term. Now the economy in Hongkong is much better; Tung's approve rate is rising; there is only two years left for his rest term, why there is an abrupt resignation?
When I heard the news, I realized D.O.J. made another deal with China. It is a regime change. To replace the Chief executive of Hongkong to someone of their own so Feds can carry out framed case.
Tung Chee Wah is a business man without intelligence background. The heir-apparent is Donald Tsang, a second ranking official of Hongkong. Tsang was trained by former British colony government. He is obviously an intelligence insider of Western.
My wife has relatives in Hongkong. Last April, FBI director R. Mueller warned a terror bombing in Hongkong and ten days later, my wife's uncle died. I alleged it was work of Feds. (see #223. FBI director said HongKong will be attacked (4/24/04) and #226) Now, with new Hongkong chief their's, the frame case will expand to there. D.O.J. makes it a big one.
All these happened in three weeks since 2/20. TV reported Condoleezza Rice would vist China next week. I think she was sent to China to settle that big deal. The price of regime change of Hongkong must be big. The payment likely will be Taiwan.
(Strong EM-wave attack caused a severe tooth ache. I'm afraid I can't go over the web-site I used to cover. Zionist D.O.J. goes crazy.)
297. Graham and Disney (3/17/05)
The news about Walter Disney in May, 1993 came with the publish of book "Walter Disney, Hollywood's dark prince". In which W. Disney was described negatively. That he was an abused boy; he drank heavily; he persecuted his employees; he was anti-semitic, anti-union, anti-communism. Most disturbing thing was that he was a FBI informant which W. Disney's family strongly denied.
Walter Disney is a beloved American icon. Every person has a nice memory of a childhood with Micky mouse and Snow White. Why he was so much humiliated?
The author of the book said his information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act. It was an excuse. There are many celebrities who are FBI informants. Why they are protected from being exposed by the Freedom of Information Act but W. Disney?
Nobody knew this (informant) except FBI and Disney himself. W. Disney wouldn't have done it even if he is alive. So the other possibility is it was leaked by FBI. Nobody can let the news published except FBI because it controls everything in US. They could deny it in the name of security. To reveal the identity of informant, even the informant had passed away, is against principle of intelligence. Then what made FBI betray its own principle? I puzzled.
The puzzle was resolved 9 years later by the news of Nixon's tape, It started :
Quote, "Saturday, 2 March, 2002, 03:05 GMT
Graham regrets Jewish slur
The Reverend Billy Graham has apologized for a taped conversation with former President Nixon in which he said the Jewish "stranglehold" of the media was ruining the United States and must be broken."
(see "295. Who controls D.O.J.? (3/7/05)")
Graham is a celebrity. Then I recalled W. Disney. He was a celebrity too. According to the news he was anti-semitic; anti-union; anti-communism. Which is the power that can humiliate him?
No wonder Sharon said, " We, the Jewish people, control America." It can force US celebrity apologizing to them. What about people passed away? They were humiliated.
It was not a coincidence that the negative news about Disney was released in 1993. At same period, a man became the CEO of Disneyland when his rival died in a helicopter accident. News said new CEO is a Jewish. Thirty years after Walter Disney's passing away, he was not only humiliated, his kingdom was also taken over by someone he disliked. It was a power show-off.
(I was blocked to post the new message a few minutes ago by error page. Since the persecution is intensified these days, a censorship may occur anytime.)
298. Intimidate Judge (3/22/05)
On 3/12, there was an article in Mercury News:"Potent medicine breaks probation for former judge"
Danser, a former judge of San Jose sentenced for fixing traffic tickets, was put into jail for violating probation rule. I had alleged he was a victim of regime change plot planned by Feds. (see 148, 169,170 and "171.Extort judge (10/16/03)")
The news said, "On March 4, just seven days from the end of his 90-day electronic monitoring, house-arrest sentence, he took the over-the-counter cough medicine. NyQuil contains so much alcohol - 25 percent - that it was specifically prohibited by Danser's house-arrest rules.
It was Danser's bad luck that a probation officer picked that very day to make a surprise 9;30 p.m. visit to his home. Danser's wife said her husband had a cold and was in bed. She was told to wake him up so he could give a urine sample to test."
The test was positive on alcohol so he went jail. Danser's lawyer said Danser had passed every previous visit from his probation officer and urine test. "The moral of this story is, if he gets sick, he goes to jail."
The surprise visit of probation officer was not a coincidence. It was planned. The whole event was a trap. I had experience. I think the bad cough was caused by radioactive contaminated food. Recently it is the most frequent method Feds using to poison my food. The case was used to intimidate other judges: if you don't obey, we can put you in jail.
What was Feds' demand this time? I think it's for a warrant. A normal one is easy to get. Only unreasonable search and arrest need intimidation.
299. Intrusion (3/22/05)
On 3/13, my brother and sister visited me. They would have a trip to China next month. As usual my brother in law drove me out for a food shopping. Other people stay at home. When I came back 2 hours later, they were not at home. Later they said they went to shopping in another store.
That night, my wife complained the leaking in rest-room. It was inside the cabinet which hold the basin. Though the cabinet is rarely used, I happened to use a plastic bowl stored inside it a day before. At that time it was still dry, now there was quite a lot of water in it. Someone checked the cabinet and damaged the water valve in the afternoon while I was not at home? I doubted.
Next day, my wife and daughter both complained the telephone didn't work. The telephone share the same socket with my computer. There are three connect wires, with different combination there are two function. One combination is a "convenient" one. With one plug in socket, both computer and telephone connected to line. The other combination is "inconvenient" one. When I go Internet, I must plug in computer wire. While if I using telephone, I must replace it with telephone wire manually. I use "inconvenient" combination because I think it is safer.
Someone changed it into "convenient" combination on 3/13 so when I replace the wire, telephone didn't work. Obviously my computer had been moved. Someone intrude my house when I was not at home. When they re-installed the computer, they changed the original combination. They damaged the water valve in rest room too.
They certainly had a search. They might installed some monitor device. But what worry me more is they might have plant something.
(This time I was blocked to post new message for more than 90 minutes. )
300. Garage door (3/27/05)
On 3/15, I got a letter from the Homeowners Association. It said the board of directors found I had a "broken garage door". The letter said that "Therefore, you are requested to: replace broken garage door and trim overgrown trees from house by April 17, 2005, or the board of directors will levy a $50.00 fine against you."
Obviously this is another case framed hurriedly by Feds. House inspection used to be taken every three months when it was in normal time. Since Feds occupied this community, there were rare architecture inspection. The latest one happened two years ago with an evil purpose. In later 2002 I was accused of the "garage paint too old". I even got a third notice after re-paint was done. They arranged a meeting for my complaint on 10/29/02. The date coincided with the departure date of a trip of my parents. I didn't attend the meeting because it was held in a residential house. I was afraid there might be an violence waiting for me. That house soon was sold after I wrote my allegation in Internet. See "95. A notice for a meeting (Oct. 2002)"
Same tactic repeats in amazing similarity. Feds uses Homeowners Association as a tool of persecution. They intimidate me with levying a fine. Last time it still followed the rule: fine levied after the failure of third notice. This time they threatened fine in first notice because they are in hurry. The framed case is planned done in April. The notice was filed on 3/14. What is the base for that final date of 4/17? It's a date not chosen by H.A. but by Feds. My relatives will be back to US on that day. They always arrange the case with a trip that will justify an accident or make a search reasonable.
On 3/12, newspaper reported former judge was in jail. The purpose was to intimidate others.
On 3/13, I was arranged for a food shopping when there was an intrusion. I allege there was a plant.
On 3/14, H.A. file a violence #1 notice, requested me to replace garage door.
All were done intensively in a sequence. I think Feds planted something illegal (most likely drugs) in my garage (or house). The agent will disguise as garage door contractor to carry out an unreasonable search which they had got the warrant from intimidated judge. To assure I will deal with a contractor of Feds, they also had an assistant operation.
On 3/18, Mercury News reported: "Unlicensed contractors get stung". 59 unlicensed builders were nabbed in an undercover sting operation. Those nabbed by the ruse were given criminal citations that could land them in jail for a maximum of six months, or they could be ordered to pay a $1,000 fine."
That's amazing similar to the event taken place in July 2003. When Feds tried to force me to have a roof contract with them, they created a roofing worker's death to intimidate other uninsured roofers out of the market. So the undercover contractor could get the deal. (see "145. SARS, a big issue(7/20/03)"

You learn from your mistakes right? Well, a few of my friends learned quite a bit from a weekend in Rome. I can walk you through some of the snafus (and who doesn't love that word?).
1) We arrived in Rome, and I stayed with a family in the city. They rented a bungalow on the beach about an hour away. They got lost on the way there, taking the wrong bus and advice from a crazy-eyed man that landed them in an unlit park. On the bright side, they found a lemon.
2) When I visited them at the beach, we wanted to take a bus to a grocery store, but after two hours of waiting, we took the first bus we saw back to the bungalow. Two seconds after we left, we saw the bus we had been waiting for pull into the parking lot.
3) These mistakes and others culminated in the final train back to Perugia being missed, which lead my three friend to spend a few hours chilling by the Roman Forum and Coliseum as they waited for the next train.
Tip: with a good attitude, any trip riddled with mistakes becomes an adventure.

I love my phone case, the design and material is exactly what I was looking for. I also love the packaging that it was delivered in. The little perfume sample was a bonus. It gave me the feeling that this was specially wrapped for me with TLC!

It is a good case expect for the fact that if you drop your phone it makes marks on the case very easily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Queen Great phone cover
I own just about three Tory Burch phone covers now. This makes my 4th phone cover by Tory Burch. This cover isn't made out of silicone but it has a non-slippery texture. I recently dropped my iphone on the sidewalk and miraculously, this cover protected it from being damaged.
