Samsung has become the latest mobile maker to jump on the Near Field Communications (NFC) bandwagon, the company confirmed this week.
It is set to launch a handset with an NFC-enabled SIM card for touch payments in time for the Olympic and Paralympic games in 2012.
The contactless payment technology will be provided by Visa. Both firms are sponsors of the games, taking place in London next year.
"Visa, like Samsung, shares the vision of leveraging our Olympic and Paralympic Games sponsorship to leave a lasting legacy in the market for banks, retailers, mobile operators and consumers," said Peter Ayliffe, chief executive (CEO) of Visa Europe.
"We are not only breaking new ground for Olympic partnerships, we are committed to enabling consumers to connect with mobile and contactless payments technology for 2012 and beyond."
Samsung has dabbled with contactless technology before, launching a year-long trial in Nice in 2010 to get 3,000 residents to use NFC-enabled mobile phones.
"Samsung is striving for long term change in the way we use mobile payments," said Seokpil Kim, CEO of Samsung Electronics Europe.
"In London next year, we regard the greatest show on earth as the perfect opportunity to showcase how this technology can make a positive difference to people's lives."
Details on the handset are scarce but Samsung confirmed in would launch in the UK first, before being rolled out across Europe, then the rest of the world, as more countries take on NFC technology.

Love of people, books made job rewarding
October 2, 2008 · Updated 1:46 PM
It may seem remarkable that such a small, nondescript building could have such an enormous heart.
The small building is the Snoqualmie branch of the King County Library System (KCLS) and Loretta Herman, after three decades as the heart and soul of it, retired last week.
"I loved working here because of the people," Herman said. "Snoqualmie has some of the best people around."
Last Tuesday former bosses, old friends and handfuls of children packed the Weyerhaeuser Room at the Snoqualmie Library at which Herman has worked for 30 years. Close to 50 people, including Snoqualmie Mayor Fuzzy Fletcher, made their way in and out of the room to reminisce and bid a fond farewell to a person as central to the library as the books.
"When we lived in Fall City, I never made it to the library much," said Fletcher, who declared Jan. 8 "Loretta Herman Day" in Snoqualmie. "But since we moved to Snoqualmie, it's been a pleasure to come to the library because of Loretta."
Herman said she always loved books, even before she could read well enough to understand them. She remembered going to her first library when she was 6 years old and living in the former mill town of Snoqualmie Falls.
"I would always take home the big books," Herman said. "Then I saw one of my girlfriends with a Beatrix Potter book and I thought of how good she looked carrying it, so I started to bring home the Beatrix Potter books. But I always brought home the big books as well."
Herman raised her family in the Valley and was an active volunteer in the library system. In 1971, she was approached by the director of the Snoqualmie Library who wanted Herman to work for her. Herman said she had her hands full with her kids, but was able to come in for about four hours a week.
She became more involved through the years, seeing the library move from what is now the home of the the Snoqualmie Department of Public Safety-Fire Division, to the library's present home right next door at 38580 S.E. River St. She was made the manager of the Snoqualmie branch 12 years ago and has helped to create many stories and memories for the generations of people who have grown up with her as their librarian.
"This job requires intellectual curiosity and a willingness to serve others," said Esther Rickelton, a former KCLS associate director who hired Herman as the manager of the Snoqualmie Library. "She has both. Loretta can connect with anyone."
Although Herman never worked full-time at the library (like all Snoqualmie librarians), she was regarded as a permanent fixture and personality.
"She is the most friendly, most down-to-earth person you'll meet," said Kris Kirby, a Snoqualmie Elementary School teacher and member of the city's Library Board. "She's a very real person and you always feel comfortable around her."
Children, many of whom make the library their after-school hangout, had their turns thanking Herman for being almost a second mother to them.
"I'll miss her and wish she would stay," said 12-year-old Lisa Martinez.
Although questions of what one does after retirement arose, Herman was unsure of what is in store. She said she will not work in a garden because she never has had one, but she is eager to finally get her turn on one of the most coveted items in the library.
"It's my time to use the computer," she said.

Not surprisingly, the opposition has begun a dirty smear campaign, posting untruths in media stories, and hacking our website relentlessly each day in an attempt to bring us down.
Are we deterred? Not a bit. Never before have we seen such an outcry, and every opportunity now must be taken to keep the issue out there well and truly in the public eye.
Unbelievably, the two most searched words recently on the internet in China, behind Chinese basketball player "Jeremy Lin", were thewords "bear farming". Citizens everywhere are making their disgust known about this truly evil trade.
Now, the disgust of the country is being seen in a new artistic wave of talent from compassionate Chinese illustrators, designers, photographers and artists who have taken the time to express, from their hearts, the plight of bears on the hideous farms today.
With the slogan "Every life is equal. How do you know that it won't hurt?" they are using their creativity to answer the ridiculous statement made by Fang Shuting, Chairman of the Chinese Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine who uttered the immortal words: - "The process of extracting bear bile is as easy, natural and painless as turning on a tap."
Meanwhile, support emerges from other incredible sources now that Jia Youling, a member of the national committee of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the state chief veterinary officer, has said that bear bile farming is immoral. The vet's professional ethics is to cure rather than create disease. Operating on a healthy bear to create a free drip fistula is against the vet's professional ethics. From the veterinary point of view, this is slaughter, this is cruel."
Just who stands behind the surgery of these bears? The mutilation of their bodies to create the dripping hole? Who will stand up and respond to Jia Youling and our own veterinary staff and debate the veterinary science behind the draining fistulas they cut into sentient warm-blooded mammals? Who can possibly believe them when they maintain that this butchery is humane.
I wonder too what the farmers really think as they lie in bed at night knowing, as they must, how the bears under their "care" suffer so terribly?
Do they hear the clattering of the steel, or see the demented weaving of these animals, as they rock miserably to and fro in their cages? Do they feel even a shred of shame or remorse as they see the bears whither and die from the diseases that take their lives on the farms.
What do the farmers do with the bears bodies - and what do they do with the parts? Are the bears buried with respect and love by a team of grieving carers as they send them on to the afterlife with handmade flowers and garlands, and their favourite food and toys?
To you, the farmers - especially those who say they treat the bears like their own children - how on earth do you sleep at night?

Although a little late in posting, this blog about my trip to Italy is no less sincere, and comes with no less gratitude to all those who made it such a perfect and memorable time. With particular thanks to Irene, our Italy Director, for writing such a beautiful summary of our days spent with friends and supporters. Irene, Giulia and Antonello for their most incredible organisation and coordination of an unforgettable few days.
Thanks especially to all in our support groups who were so welcoming and kind and for all you do, so very passionately, in helping bear bile farming to end.
And now, with a huge and heartfelt grazie mille to all, Id like to turn this blog over to Irene, who summarises our whirlwind mini-roadshow so beautifully.
Things never turn out quite as expected. But when Animals Asia supporters are involved, the change is always for the better. We have waited for this roadshow for nearly two years. It was May 2010 when Jill last came to Italy to open a display of photos taken by renowned photographer Rocco Toscani at our China bear sanctuary and a lot has happened since then.
We have faced many challenges during this past year, with the economic crisis making things bitter for a lot of us, and the many unexpected natural disasters that have hit the country leaving thousands heavy-hearted. Times are changing in Asia too, with Chinese people calling for an end to the barbaric bear bile industry. As I write, I feel we are closer to meeting this goal than ever before and the roadshow showed us just how much the people of Italy care.
First stop was VeganFest in the beautiful Tuscan countryside, where the outline of the surrounding mountains made us think of Tam Dao National Park home of our bear sanctuary in Vietnam.
VeganFest is one of the best-known vegan and eco-friendly expos in Europe and our heartfelt thanks go to Sauro Martella and his wife Renata The Bio-Countess Balducci, two incredibly generous and thoughtful people, for inviting us and making us feel at home but above all for making the festival the perfect meeting place for animal-welfare and humanitarian organisations from all across the world. This was a place where, for five exciting days, people could share ideas, views, and learn from each others experiences with compassion and empathy. I would also like to thank Tommaso Palazzolo for his professional assistance before and during the event, and celebrity chef Chicco Coria for creating his delicious, and 100 per cent vegan, specialties.
There are simply no words to express our gratitude to those who shared these precious moments, laughs and sometimes tears with us and made it all possible. Thanks to the wonderful team of brave supporters who tirelessly volunteered day and night, in the heavy rain and under the burning sun you did such a wonderful job, devoting time and passion to our cause. And thanks to each and every one of you old friends and new who simply stopped by, enjoyed Jills exciting presentation and cheered when during the evening she received the VeganOK Award for her extraordinary achievements in animal welfare.
Then we were over to the magical city of Florence and the stunning Palazzo Vecchio for a conference.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone who attended. In particular, I would like to send my gratitude and admiration to Giorgio Ceccarelli, Founder and CEO of I love papà and Figli Negati associations, who came all the way up from Rome to honour Jill with the Mini Oscar 2011 in recognition of her services to animals and people in Asia.
Giorgio also gave Jill one of his beautiful canvasses specially painted to celebrate the occasion which is now proudly displayed in our Education Centre in Chengdu. And thanks to friend and writer Stefania Schiaroli for calling off all her previous engagements in order to attend and have Jill sign a copy of her latest novel. Stefania is generously donating the royalties to us.
And what can I say about City Counsellor Tommaso Grassi? Thank you Tommaso for doing the honours with so much kindness, genuine passion and respect, for your professional organisation and for showing us the true colours of Florence. Tommaso honoured Jill with a beautiful plate on behalf of the City of Florence her third award in just a couple of days.
There is a very special place in Florence called La Fontana del Porcellino (the piglet fountain) right in the New Market. It is believed that whoever puts a coin in the piglets mouth and rubs his snout can make a wish and will return to Florence one day. Wishes should never be shared, of course, but we are very much looking forward to both wishes coming true.
Many thanks to Giulia and Antonello who worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly. And to Jill for being the inspiring woman she is the beaming smiles and the superhuman capacity to deal with such a hectic agenda with grace and charm.
And most of all our heartfelt thanks to our wonderful supporters, those who donated either financially or in kind to ensure our roadshow was a success.
You will always have what you have donated Marco Valerio Marziale, Latin poet

Dieter Häckl, a long-time supporter of Animals Asia will soon be joining over 3,000 triathletes and 600 relay teams to take on the world's largest triathlon, "Challenge Roth" in the town of Roth, Germany. This includes a multitude of challenges - swimming 3.8km in the Main-Donau-Kanal, cycling 180km, and finally running a marathon of 42.2km. Add the heat of the summer temperature in Roth, and you have some idea of the true task that Dieter is taking on.
Dieter has been preparing intensively for this competition for many months in his free time, with the aim of raising 3,000 for Animals Asia and the 14 moon bears recently rescued in Vietnam, and now recovering from their traumatic time on a bile farm at our Tam Dao sanctuary.
Dieter is incredibly generous with his time and has long been a champion of the bears, promoting their cause at festivals in the town of Babenhausen,
Heartfelt thanks to you Dieter, from us all for this and everything you do for the bears. I can't imagine taking anything like this on, and you have our endless respect and good wishes. Big bear hugs from us all.

A huge and heartfelt thank you - our friends in Australia - for your truly brilliant welcome during our Roadshow this month! Wonderful to see you again - and to take the opportunity to say endless thanks for your faith and help in our campaigns that are seeing such progress for the animals of Asia.
To everyone involved - whether in front or behind the scenes working so hard and passionately to see such a great turnout at events across the country - you are beyond fabulous and help to ensure that this vitally important work sees so many positive changes for the animals that need our help. I loved every single second of the madness, kindness and fun and look forward to seeing everyone again very soon.
For now, please click here to catch up on one of the busiest weeks of the year, with special thanks to Anne and Jude for their unwavering professionalism, not to mention their truly awful sense of humour, that kept us all smiling during exhausting times.

Had a beautiful message a few days ago from UK artist and all-round thoroughly lovely guy Richard Symonds, who, together with equally lovely sculptor Suzie Marsh, held "Moonstruck" just recently in London where their breathtaking art raised much-needed funds for the bears.
Rich often thinks of Oliver - as so many other people do - and struggles to reconcile with the sad reality that this elderly bear spent 30 years of his life in a cage. Rich has always reflected upon what he'd been doing for all those decades while Oliver's life was fading slowly away - and how ashamed those responsible for Oliver's dark years should be.
No more to add except our prayers that Oliver will enjoy many more of his twilight years in his favourite spot on the grass, contentedly blinking up at the sun.

u should try getting data from the base by using left & right joint & check the joine. i would like to see yr query which is give better idea for yr problem.u might be use view with multiple column along with child table.
there is 1 way to get data from cache database in sqlserver is dns. by this u can extract data.
Well, I hate to disagree with the previous posters, but it sounds to me like you SHOULD be querying the view, NOT the tables. You say the view returns the "correct", expected number of records, so clearly it already contains the necessary joins and criteria. Why duplicate that effort?
I do agree that DTS is the way to go, though. Just point it at the view and let 'er rip.
Hi all, Many thanks for your replies.
I am using DTS to extract the data using a simple select statement in a transform data task SQL Query, and using a date criteria to reduce the size of the extract like this:
SELECT AKA, Admitting_Clinician, Blood_Bank_Work_Issued, Blood_Group, ??/* Up to about 100 columns */
FROM _SYSTEM.Patient
WHERE Date_Patient_Details_Amended >= '2005-04-01′
AND Date_Patient_Details_Amended
roughly how many records are we talkng about in the query ?
Boy, am I confused! First you say you "doubt the database providers will be willing to supply the schema", but then you say you "have the structure of the tables in the system" and you "know is that the table is a view and not an actual table". And your query returns different results each time you run it? Jeez!
Ok, let's start with some questions for you.
1 Who are these db providers? Are they outside your company? Who does this cache db belong to? If it belongs to your company, can't you negotiate a deal to get the source for the view you're trying to emulate? And, if they let you have access to their data, why wouldn't they be willing to share the SQL source behind the view?
2 How did you recreate the table structure when you don't know the schema?
3 Which table "is a view, not a table"? The _SYSTEM.Patient table in your querying?
4 You say you want to "re-create the view using joins", but your SQL only includes one table. Why?
5 Do you KNOW that the resultset is larger than it should be, or are you guessing? If you do know, HOW do you know? Are you able to run the orginal query you're trying to reproduce?
6 If the recordcounts vary greatly, not just growing, and this db is truly a "cache database", perhaps the cache is being flushed periodically (as it should be, if it's really a cache). That is, maybe it's being emptied and then refilled, but not necessarily with the same data. Caches are often used to temporarily "stage" data prior to some operation like printing invoices or reports.
Sorry for all the questions, but I don't think we have a very clear picture of the situation, so it's hard to know what to advise.

Welcome to the British photographic history blog which was launched at the start of 2009. There are over 1700 members, in addition to many other regular readers. They range from museum and gallery curators, photographic academics, students, collectors, dealers and representatives from the photographic press from around the world. The blog provides a forum for news of events and happenings within the British photographic history community. This can include lectures or meetings, exhibition news, jobs and general news affecting collections of photographic material or individuals within the field. BPH will also include relevant book and website reviews from time to time. While the focus is on Britain it may, on occasion, include material that is of wider interest from Europe, the United States and Asia.

New sleep center opens
By: WROC-TV
Updated: October 11, 2007
Unity Heath Thursday opened up its new sleep disorders center.
The facility is located at Clinton Crossings on Westfall Road in Brighton.
Unity spent $840,000 to upgrade the center.
It has 12 suites for overnight studies and it was designed with comfort in mind.
"What we've found from patients and also just our technicians here that patients noted they actually sleep better when they have a more comfortable environment, when it's a little homier, and so the quality of our sleep center studies are significantly better with an improved environment," said Dr. Alice Hoagland, Behavior Sleep Medicine.
As more patients are expected at the sleep center, Unity is creating five new jobs.

NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The Carleton College volleyball team dropped its season finale at St. Olaf, 3-0, but the Knights closed the 2011 campaign above .500 with a 13-12 mark. Karen Halls (Fy./Edina, Minn./Edina) paced Carleton in kills for the first time in her career.
Carleton (3-8 MIAC) recorded 10 blocks compared to just three for St. Olaf (13-14, 4-7 MIAC), but the Knights were their own worst enemies, hitting just .029 as a team compared to a .171 figure for the Oles. Carleton had 20 kills and 17 attack errors.
A 10-2 St. Olaf run midway through the opening set helped the hosts cruise to a 25-14 decision.
The back-and-forth second set featured eight ties and seven lead changes. Carleton had the serve at 22-22, but one of the team's nine service errors in the match opened the door for St. Olaf to eventually record a 25-23 triumph.
The Oles raced to an 18-6 lead in the final set and cruised to a 25-12 victory.
Halls had five kills and fellow rookie Claire Willeck (Fy./Eden Prairie, Minn./Eden Prairie) added four kills.
Melissa Burch had a match-high 12 kills for St. Olaf.

Orlando police have just started using private social networks to send out crime-prevention tips and other information to specific neighborhoods.
College Park, Dover Shores and Audubon Park are among those Orlando neighborhoods where residents and police have communicated over Nextdoor, a free website where users establish private neighborhood pages to connect with those physically closest to them.
"It's an excellent way to reach out to particular neighborhoods through the people who are most active in them," said Lt. Barbara Jones of the Orlando Police Department. "We limit it to neighborhood watch information and crime prevention tips. It's a more proactive approach."
Kelsey Grady of Nextdoor said Orlando is one of the most active neighborhoods in Florida. Residents in 54 communities across the metro Orlando region have active Nextdoor neighborhood websites, and all of the neighborhoods in Orlando are linked to the Orlando police department now.
Nextdoor partnered with police departments in Kissimmee and Fort Lauderdale in 2012, Grady said.
"We've seen that crime really emerged as an essential way people are using Nextdoor," Grady said. "It's one of the main drivers to start a page."
The neighborhood site resembles a Facebook page with a newsfeed containing members' posts and responses. The page also offers members a neighborhood directory, map and marketplace where they can buy or sell things.
Any resident can start a Nextdoor account by logging onto the website and entering his or her address. As soon as Nextdoor officials verify the address, the resident can set up a pilot site. That site becomes active when 10 more neighbors join.
Only neighbors of a particular community can join their neighborhood's page. Invitations are sent through email, postcards or fliers that a user can print out and distribute among neighbors.

Happy Memorial Day!
Nothing is more patriotic on this day to honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our democracy, then to have a discussion about an important piece of that democracy! And so shall it be today.
Lindsey McPherson wrote this article recently, spotlighting Councilman Calvin Ball's proposal to have the current number of terms that County Council members are limited to from three to four.
Term limits as a policy have always perplexed me a little. As in, what problem are term limits trying to solve? Are they a tool to attempt to promote more participation and competition in standing for elected office? If so, there are other ways to do that, such as allowing for greater ballot access, campaign finance reform, and increasing the salaries of elected positions.
Are they a tool to promote a "move up or move out" culture in politics, thereby making elected officials more dedicated/committed to their work? If that's the case, then why force competition, which will invariably lead to good elected officials being voted out of, or retiring from, office.
I'm really not sure what purpose term limits serve, other than that they make a certain sector of the electorate happy with themselves, that there exists a mechanism to move elected officials out of office. This being the case, it would seem that, barring banning term limits altogether, extending them would be the next best thing to do. So this legislation does seem like a good idea.

Comments about Angie Studded Jumpsuit:
This jumpsuit was exactly what I was looking for as far as style & cut. Being a petite person the fitted waist & genie style leg with cinched ankle is great. Don't have to worry about lengths. The perfect fit!
Also, the embellishment is at the top of the bodice. The fabric has a sheen to it so may be more suited for dress-up or evening wear for some. I purchased both colors because it is difficult to come by this perfect styling and know it when I see it. We petites are forgotten about; so much is geared for the long, leggy model type. I would wear the teal jumpsuit for an afternoon event as formal as a wedding or just out to dinner, but the black is for evening. In a different fabric this style could be worn for just about any event. Simple, elegant alternative to wearing a dress. Lovely jumpsuit! Very happy with my purchase.
Comments about Angie Studded Jumpsuit:
The item is nice in the package, but the material is very thin and not flattering. The straps were hard to adjust and the pants length were too short and I'm average height.

September 04, 2012 | Tips from Travellers > Pemberton, Hot Springs
View a larger image on flickr.com
Labour Day weekend marks the end of summer and the beginning of fall in BC, and is usually one of the last weekends for fair-weather campers to head out before the cold weather sets in.
To make the most of the long weekend, a few friends and I decided to head far enough away (ie: meaning no cell reception), but still close enough to Vancouver that we weren't driving the entire time. We decided on St. Agnes' Well/Skookumchuck Hot Springs -- a remote campsite with natural hot springs located four hours north of Vancouver along the Lillooet River.
The campsite had the usual BC elements -- big trees, snow-capped mountains, situated along a rushing river (and a couple nearby lakes) -- with a dash of the Gold Rush History that's present in this part of the province: it's accessed by a gravel logging road that makes up a section of the historic Gold Rush Trail, and two small, overgrown cemetery plots along the way had headstones dating back to the 1960s.
The hot springs were the biggest draw (and such an affordable luxury for camping!). Fed from a natural spring, they've been developed into a series of rustic, outdoor thermal baths located in the middle of the campsite. There's a single- to two-person barrel, a few multiple-person "canoe-like" tubs, and one sheltered A-Frame bath house. The baths stay open 24-hours and at night are lit by candles.
We also brought rods to cast for fish in the river, and took advantage of the Sea to Sky Highway on the drive back: in Pemberton, we stopped for coffee and lunch, and outside Squamish, we jumped off the dock into Alice Lake, then tested the waters over at Murrin Lake.
There's certainly no shortage of things to do or scenery to take in along this slice of the province -- it was the perfect "official" end to summer!

October 25, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Bowen Island, Kayaking & Canoeing Find more information about Bowen Island - Kayaking & Canoeing
When you're dodging umbrellas on the way to work, you know fall has officially hit. If you're dreaming of summer plans already, here's a great idea: head to Bowen Island for some ocean paddle-boarding.
Bowen Island is only 45-minutes from Vancouver, but it felt miles away: it's small, quaint and laid-back. After the ferry docked, a short stroll led us to an open-air market, galleries, studios, stores and restaurants (we stopped for fresh fish-n-chips on a patio).
Soon we were in need of cooler temperatures, so we headed to the dock to try paddle-boarding. This not-so-extreme water sport is like a cross between kayaking and surfing: there is a wide, long board and an equally long oar, and you're supposed to stand up and paddle.
Sounds simple, right? Well it's trickier than it looks (balance is key) - and I definitely made the first splash into the ocean (luckily the water was cool and refreshing).
After a few wobbly moments, we all picked it up and spent the rest of the hour cruising around - even spotting a pack of glossy seals likewise enjoying the water. Another great thing about paddle-boarding? It's very affordable! This left us plenty of money to snack on the delicious, authentic tacos, conveniently located on the pier next door to the kayaking/boarding shop.
Paddle-boarding available from Bowen Island Sea Kayaking.

What's a great way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon? Watching wiener dog races at the Hastings Race Course Track, of course! Having never been to the track before, I was compelled to go this Sunday to watch cute wiener dogs battle it out in a 20m dash. There were 3 heats, which took place in between the horse races. The dogs were hilarious to watch, even though not all crossed the finish line: some ended up going backwards, others circled each other and one just plain decided he didn't want to race anymore. But the two that did cross the finish line got loud cheers from the crowd for their photo finish race.
Although the wiener dogs were fun to watch (note: they only happen once a year), the horse races were definitely my favourite. It was great getting beers, hot dogs and placing cheap bets on the horses (you can bet as low as $2.00), and then cheering on your horse as they whipped by you! Word of advice: betting solely on the cool-factor of a horse's name is not a good strategy, and may lose you a few bucks. Overall it didn't matter that I lost money, because there was nothing better than spending a day in the sun, having some drinks and food and watching horses race by!

July 14, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Prince Rupert, Camping
Prince Rupert may get its share of rainy, overcast weather but this is not always the case! I just returned from a week-long visit where it was sunny and hot, and the skies, blue and cloudless - perfect camping weather!
A few friends and I headed out to Kasiks Wilderness Resort, located between Prince Rupert and Terrace along the Skeena River. The drive along the Skeena is incredibly scenic, and you can often spot bears, eagles, moose, waterfalls and idle fishermen standing by their lines in the river.
Kasiks Resort was great. The camping spots are set back from the property and surrounded by dense wood, so it was quiet and private - true wilderness camping. But after a night of roughing it, we were very excited to find that the main lodge had a lounge/TV room (with satellite) and a kitchen which served up delicious - and cheap - breakfast...just in time to watch the Netherlands/Spain World Cup final match! Awesome. Not exactly "camping," but we were pretty happy for modern amenities that day.
Here are a few other things to do in Rupert when the sun is shining: stroll along the waterfront rocky beach and hunt for sea creatures or look for glimpses of seals and sea otters, kayak next to huge anchored ships in the harbour, and hike to views of rapids from Butze Rapids trail. Or my favourite: sit out on a patio and eat fresh seafood - there's nothing better!

Recently I had the good fortune of checking out REO Rafting Resort near Boston Bar. What a great place! Not only do they have whitewater rafting down a range of Class 1 - 4 rapids, but a bunch of other activities - all set in a remote, wilderness location.
Besides the good food (and it was really good), I loved the rock climbing wall. They have a relatively easy, outdoor wall (although be warned - it looked easier than it actually was, as I found out first hand!), tucked away in a forest clearing, with a couple of different "routes" to challenge yourself.
Even if you aren't into rafting, be sure to check out the rock climbing and other amenities at REO Rafting Resort.
(Oh, and the picture above is of me scaling the wall, horrible technique and all! :) )

Saturday afternoon was a great summer day, so a friend and I headed out to Hell's Gate near Hope to check it out. Part of the fun was the drive itself - within an hour or so you can leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city and drive a scenic, winding road along the Fraser River and through a series of tunnels (don't forget to hold your breath & make a wish!).
Once we got to Hell's Gate (about 3 hrs. from Vancover), we hopped on the airtram that crosses the Fraser River at its narrowest point. This section is notorious for its current - twice the volume of Niagara Falls passes through there! After a short ride across, we got to the other side and spent some time walking across the suspension bridge and checking out the displays on the history of the river. To cap it off, we ordered a delicious salmon burger from the cafe and ate it on the patio in the sun - so nice and relaxing!

Vancouverites love their hockey (like all Canadians) – especially their Canucks. I've been to a handful of games and each time I have a blast. The fans are at once boisterous and respectful (jesting at the opposing team's fans – especially Calgary Flames – but still polite to their fellow Canuck seat-neighbors. We are Canadian after all). I love when the mascot Fin playfully bites the heads of fans (the picture shown is of him going in for a "bite") and Mark Donnelly sings the national anthem! Lately the stadium announcer will belt out "Wooooo" after each Canuck goal, which is then repeated back by the fans. It's addicting – you can't not do it!
Vancouver is also home to a WHL team, the Giants. I haven't been to a game yet but here's what my colleague Karen had to say about it: "At the Giants game I went to there were no business guys in suits heading to the game, it was lots of families and tons of people in jerseys...What I loved most was that there was so much entertainment in between periods: two golf carts on the ice, two blimps flying around, t-shirts being shot at the crowd, coupons dropping from the sky, and even a hamburger tossed out as a prize by the mascot...Impossible to be bored!"
If you prefer to hit the ice yourself, lace up your skates on one of Vancouver's outdoor rinks. Grouse Mountain (in North Vancouver) has an 8,000 square foot pond high above the city, while Robson Square (downtown Vancouver) is a smaller rink but it's free and right in the heart of the action (skate rentals are $3.00).
During the next two weeks though NHL team rivalries will be dropped and all Canadians will be cheering for their home country. We'd love to hear your pick on who will win men's hockey gold. Post your picks/comments below!
Go Canada Go!!

February 16, 2010 | Tips from Us > Vancouver, Art Galleries & Artists Find more information about Vancouver - Art Galleries & Artists
One of my Olympic must-do activities was seeing the Leonardo DaVinci exhibit, "The Mechanics of Man", at the Vancouver Art Gallery. On Sunday a colleague and I checked things out and although the line-up was long – we waited about 45 minutes – seeing the exhibit was worth it for me.
DaVinci's anatomical drawings of the human body are incredibly detailed and beautifully etched. They are on yellowed sheets of paper, standard notebook size, and I was surprised to see how intact they actually were. I learned that some drawings have not been surpassed to date and others were the first-known accurate depictions (like his drawing of the spinal column). Pretty amazing stuff!
On every drawing DaVinci made cramped notes in Latin, which are written in his favored "mirror-style" way (ie: backwards). Each drawing had an accompanying description that explained which parts of the body we were looking at, his drawing techniques and methods, as well as other interesting information (such as how he made some discoveries two centuries before anyone else did).
Larger replicas of some drawings are placed on the walls and offer closer observation. Also splashed across the walls are random quotes by DaVinci. Overall, the exhibit was pretty amazing – I'm sure both biology nerds and art lovers will love it – and clearly very fitting for the Olympics!

With just days until the 2010 Winter Olympics begin, I'm starting to get really excited! But if you are ticket-less (like me), fear not! There will be plenty of free sites buzzing with activity where you can watch the Games and enjoy the festivities!
Here's what's on my radar:
LiveCity Downtown/Yaletown: Between the two sites – one in Yaletown and the other steps from BC Place and Canada Hockey Place – I should definitely be entertained. Giant TV screens will be set up and broadcast live coverage of the Games, yummy food and drink will be available and live music will be playing every night. Even before the Games start there will be activity: I'm going to be making my way to LiveCity Yaletown this Thursday for the arrival of the Olympic torch!
Robson Square: Take your pick between ice skating outside, zip-lining high over the cityscape or pondering Leonardo DaVinci's "Mechanics of Man" exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Oh, and did I mention that all are free? (Skate rentals are $3.00.)
Richmond O Zone: If you don't mind a little travel, hop on the Canada Line Skytrain to head out to this celebration site. I'm planning on checking out the Holland Heineken House (the nation house of the Netherlands) for some beer; the ice carving competitions – and subsequently funky ice art sculptures; trying a hand at bobsleigh (in virtual reality, of course); and all the fantastic live entertainment.
But if none of those suit your fancy, lots of bars and restaurants will be broadcasting the Games. So grab a bite to eat, replenish yourself with some beer and sit back and enjoy the Games.
Live City Downtown: corner of Georgia and Beatty; LiveCity Yaletown, corner of Pacific Blvd and Drake; Robson Square: corner of Robson and How; Richmond O Zone, Minoru Park, 7191 Granville Ave.

February 09, 2010 | Tips from Travellers > Vancouver, Shopping Find more information about Vancouver - Shopping
Stores in Gastown are an eclectic mix: there's everything from independent designer boutiques to vintage stores, high-end galleries displaying Aboriginal art and Euro-centric furniture stores. Oh, and seemingly more souvenir shops than Starbucks coffee shops (if that's possible).
Walking down the cobbled streets made me feel like I was exploring a quaint European alleyway and I enjoyed window-shopping almost more than actually shopping. Partly this was because prices can run a lil' high in some stores.
I first ventured into Fluevog. This international shoe store started its origins in Vancouver and its funky shoes have been worn by people like Madonna and Scarlet Johanssen. It has such a cult following that there is even an International Fluevog Day (May 15th). I'm assuming it's celebrating wearing your 'vogs(as they're fondly called) but I'm not entirely sure.
Next I headed to One of a Few. Like the name suggests, there are only a few of each item of clothing, which is great if you're looking for something unique. If you want slightly more selection head next door to their aptly named sister shop, Two of a Few.
In search of a good deal, I visited Army & Navy (Canada's version of Wal-mart). If you're willing to hunt you can find some pretty good stuff here. Also: their annual shoe sale is a HUGE deal – line-ups usually start forming at 6am and in 2009 they sold 75,000 pairs of shoes in just 12 days!
Also worth checking out: Koolhaus for higher quality, Ikea-esque furniture (but with a heftier price tag); and the OK Boot Corral, a small shop jam-packed with all things Western - including rows and rows of cowboy (and cowgirl!) boots.
Happy shopping!
Locations: Fluevog, 65 Water St; One of a Few, 354 Water St; Two of a Few, 356 Water St; Army & Navy, 36 West Cordova; Koolhaus, 1 Water St; OK Boot Corral, 205 Carrall St.

Loved it!. The atmosphere is so relaxing and the therapists are friendly and accommodating. I just had a baby recently and my neck is killing me from constantly hunching over / looking down at my little one. I feel so renewed when I leave this place - a real find!
Great Massage. I am very picky about massage and I rarely have time off from work and home life. I was more than pleasantly surprised after my massage. I had a lot of muscle tension in my neck and shoulders and when I left it was as if a weight had been lifted. Great pressure, great attention to detail, I will definitely return.
So glad we could help! Thank you for your positive review. We look forward to serving you again soon! Stay relaxed and have a very happy 4th!
Still on a massage high.... I had a great Swedish Massage by Diego. He was a fantastic therapist, really made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It was a nice peaceful environment, I will definitely return for another!
Yes, Diego! Everyone agrees. He has magic hands. And, we're glad you agree too! Thank you so much! It sounds like we'll be seeing you again soon...look forward to it! Until then...PEACE AND LOVE.
Great massage!!! Loved it!. I had a great couples massage here. I love to get a massage and finally got my boyfriend to go with me. Long story short...he loved it and now wants to go any time his back hurts at all. Boys are funny. I had a great massage therapist that made sure to find my comfort of pressure and made t one of the top massages of my life. I am glad I found this place.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post such a nice review! We love getting positive feedback and look forward to seeing both of you again soon. Stay relaxed, and Namaste.

Guitarist's Stage Antics: Trashed, Smashed & Set on Fire
Guitarist's Stage Antics: Trashed, Smashed & Set on Fire
Destruction of The Axe
Guitar players have a long and rich history of abusing their instruments. For instance, Hendrix lit his on fire, Townsend smashed his and Cobain threw his in the air without catching it on the way down. Overall, rock n roll has provided a rich landscape for musicians to destructively play their instruments. In some cases, by the end of the live show, the instrument was broken to Read more »

Early Career Researcher & New Staff Grants Scheme
The University of Sydney Medical School's Early Career Research/New Staff grants scheme will be offered for funding in 2013.
Further information regarding the 2013 scheme will be posted in the coming months
Guidelines (PDF)
In line with its commitment to focus resources on the support of early career researchers and new staff members, Sydney Medical School is calling for applications for research grants of up to $25,000 for one year from eligible early career researchers or staff who are new to the Sydney Medical School. These grants are intended to be investments in people and pilot projects that are likely to lead to major funding returns.
Early career researchers are considered to be those who were awarded their PhD no more than 7 years ago and hold an academic appointment up to and including Level B.
To ensure that you receive communications targeted to ECRs please login to the Research Profiles Management database, under Profile Page select Themes/Keywords/Approaches and select "yes" for Early Career Researcher.
New staff are researchers holding positions of Level C and below who have been employed by the University of Sydney for less than 2 years at the closing date for applications.
These grants are directed explicitly to these 2 groups of researchers rather than established researchers and those with existing grant funding.
Office of Research and Research Training
Sydney Medical School
University of Sydney NSW 2006
Outcomes of this scheme will be announced after the ARC/NHMRC grants round outcomes are known. They will be published at ECR/new staff grants - Outcomes

During Lent, I've been reading in the Bible about the last weeks of Jesus' life, and I've been puzzled by something. Why did the crowds turn against Jesus so quickly? One week they welcomed Him, and the next week they demanded He be crucified. — Mrs. M.F.
First, let me commend you for taking time during the weeks leading up to Easter to read from the Bible about Jesus' final days. No events in human history were more important than Jesus' death and resurrection, and yet many people (even Christians) never take time to study them.
Tomorrow, Christians around the world will celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (which we usually call "Palm Sunday," because the crowd welcomed Him by spreading palm branches in His path). Those who greeted Him were convinced He was the Messiah (or "anointed one"), sent by God to establish His Kingdom on earth. The Bible says they shouted, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Matthew 21:9).
But not everyone in Jerusalem welcomed Him; the very next verse says that "the whole city was stirred and asked, 'Who is this?'" In other words, those who welcomed Him were His disciples—but large numbers of people were still debating who He was. Some of them (but not His disciples) later demanded His death.
Where would you have been on that first Palm Sunday? Among the disciples who welcomed Him—or among the skeptical crowds? You cannot remain neutral about Jesus. He came for one reason: "Christ died for sins once for all ... to bring you to God" (1 Peter 3:18). Make your decision for Christ today.

Broek in Waterland : Michelin's recommendations
Located near a stretch of water (the Havenrak), this flower-filled village with freshly painted houses was once renowned for its cleanliness. It is said that you had to take off your boots before entering and this even applied to Napoleon (1811). But do not panic - today you can keep your shoes on.

Have you noticed? The Oceano Community Services District has grown up.
I attended a recent meeting and found that the directors and the manager are running a very efficient and trim CSD.
I applaud all the directors, the manager and the office staff for hanging in there and pulling the Oceano CSD out of the mud and into a well-run and very professional community services district.
We are close to having all the audits completed, and the water district is overhauled. The workers have pride in their work, and the office staff is first class. So long, Jerry Springer.
