Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Keep our community clean
St. Norbert is the gateway to the city from the south and I take pride in helping keep it clean.
I think that my aversion to garbage comes from my childhood memories. My mother was a very community-oriented person and would often walk stray shopping carts back to the mall.
She hated trash on the streets with a fiery passion and would be seen walking around with a garbage bag picking up trash in the evenings.
She would also get my sister and I involved, and ask our friends to pick up trash for 50 cents a bag. Of course, in the 1970s that would buy you some Lik-M-Aid, sour candies and Bazooka Joe gum at the local Mac's, so my friends were right there beside me in the slush and muck.
Right up until she passed in 2010, I remember her telling me how she was trying to organize a community cleanup with students at Dakota Collegiate in her new neighbourhood.
I have realized that her mission to hunt down trash and wrangle it up was something I do without even thinking. When I lived in Waverley Heights I would do the same thing my mom did, on evening walks with my family we picked up trash such as stray wrappers, coffee cups and any other stray refuse that was carelessly tossed out a car window or simply dropped on a walk.
Thanks to my mom's training, I now start almost every day, time and weather permitting, by walking up the strip in St. Norbert with a garbage bag to collect stray trash. Marilyn Firth from the St. Norbert Farmers' Market had often seen me in the neighbourhood picking up garbage, so earlier this year the market donated a metal garbage picker for me to use.
Many people in St. Norbert are committed to keeping our community clean and litter-free. This year's spring cleanup was hugely successful. Over 30 people participated and we cleaned the streets from Waverley Heights to St. Norbert. Thank you again to all the volunteers who came out!

Balancing act: A discussion on being Darth Vader, other dream jobs while finding workplace flexibility
Henny Ray Abrams, AP
I have yet to hear of anyone else who had childhood dreams of growing up to be Darth Vader.
However, I have received other responses to recent columns about dream jobs and workplace flexibility, so I've decided to share some this week.
One interesting response to the column about a LinkedIn survey on dream jobs came from a reader named Andrew. He described himself in an email as "a 34-year-old married father of three who hasn't figured out what to be when he grows up."
"For a long time I was kind of depressed about all of the failures I've endured over the years, but as I thought about it, I realized that I have a lot of really funny stories to tell, so I've started writing about it," Andrew wrote.
He does have some humorous experiences to share, and I'm guessing you'll be able to relate to them. Check out his blog if you're interested in reading more.
Another reader posted a comment online congratulating me and my wife for raising daughters who can see themselves in careers outside of the home, "especially in fields such as medicine and engineering."
"Women can pursue careers and motherhood," this reader wrote. "Girls and young women should always be encouraged to aspire to more than 'just being a mom,' just as young boys are encouraged to aspire to more than 'just being a dad.'
"You never know, for sure, if marriage/parenthood is in your children's future (for any number of reasons), but you can be fairly certain they will need to be able to support themselves financially, so you should encourage them to find a career that they can enjoy for a few decades, as the retirement age is only going to increase."
While I believe that the roles of mother and father are the most important that any woman and man, respectively, can have, I do agree that it's important for all of our youth to prepare to support themselves. We've tried to teach our children that they can develop the knowledge and skills to tackle almost any occupation, if they put their minds to it. It's amazing watching them grow, and I can't wait to see how they do as they chase those ambitious dreams of theirs.
As for me, I'm still chasing the dream of building better work-life balance, and I've written quite a bit recently about those personal goals and the role of workplace flexibility in reaching them.
In response to a column a couple of weeks ago in which I shared my "A-to-Z" list of work-life balance successes, failures and advice, one reader posted a comment online saying it included several applicable points.
"My favorite was 'At home, I try to focus on family,' " she wrote. "I like to think of the workday as a 24-hour clock, taking an hour off here or there to be with my kids and then hopping back on the computer at night so I can do the work that I missed. Getting back to work after these short breaks with your spouse and kids won't be as difficult now that you have spent a few extra minutes with them.
"Kei Nomaguchi, Ph.D., associate professor of sociology at Bowling Green State University, says even just 20 minutes of your attention makes a difference. Further, it's important to let your kids know how much you love your job. This helps them to respect you as a parent and as a businessperson they could look up to."
It is vital to give that attention to one's spouse and children, and I would say the more time they get, the better. That's why I'm so glad my job now does not require much work from home.
Other readers responded to last week's column on the importance of flexibility at work. One posted a comment online vouching for the value employees place on flexible workplaces.

Tried Aldiko, Cool Reader, FBReader on Xoom tablet.
Moon+ Reader Pro is the best and most enjoyable Ebook reader application. Kepp on the good work.
Very impressive, and good quality application.
Good TTS support, i like it!
Been using it for years and it's only gotten better
I've tried several different apps but Moon+ Reader Pro is simply the best. I'd love to get an option to allow table view. And highlighting in pop-up windows.
Needs better support for custom (publisher) styles in ePub books, e.g. in a programming book I'm missing code syntax coloring and spacing. "Preview w/publ. formatting" makes syntax highlighting OK, but text size and flow become inflexible.
Very functional and versatile love the highlight opinions.
Would be better if the pages flipped with two sound effects (open and close). More background options would be ideal. Great reader overall.

After researching my family tree for 19 years I have finally found the last federal census I needed for my great grandmother, Frances "Fannie"/"Fanny" Day Henderson Currie. It was the 1900 census that I needed, which would also show my grandfather, Wayne Huff Currie, living with her. I found her living in Marshall, Harrison Co., TX. Up until last night all I knew about her daughter was that her name was M. E. b. 1875.
I'm looking for more information about Mary E. CURRIE who married unknown NOBLE born in Ohio date unknown.
Mary E. CURRIE is the daughter of Malcolm M. CURRIE (1841-MS, LA, NC ?-1890 Tilden, Avoyelles, LA) and Frances DAY HENDERSON (1846, Amite Co., MS-1905-TX,LA,MS) widow of Robert HENDERSON (1838-1866)
Mary was born in 1875 in Liberty, Amite Co., Mississippi. She is listed on the 1880 Federal census, Amite Co., MS Beat #3 with her parents and siblings. I find her again in the 1900 Federal census, Marshall, Harrison Co., TX, living with her mother, Fanny CURRIE. Mary has been married 3 years (1897) and has one child born Oct 1898 in Georgia. The child's name looks like Layton/Lytton NOBLE, but I can't read the census very well. Also, in the household is her brother, my grandfather, Wayne Huff CURRIE age 16 born DEC 1883 in Amite Co., Mississippi. The husband of Mary is not in the census. She is not listed as a widow, so her husband may have been off somewhere in another state working.

Where to eat in Bangor / Orono, Maine?
I need a good restaurant for dinner in the Bangor/Orono/Old Town, Maine area. Can anyone offer a recommendation? Full bar and good wine list preferred! Thanks for the help!
Fiddlehead, Bangor...quality and value fine dining in a casual, friendly atmosphere.
re: HDinCentralME
Thanks! Looking forward to it!
Massimo's, next door to Fiddlehead is also very good. Ate there twice this summer, happy both times.
re: Passadumkeg
after trying to google Zilch restaurant, I figured out what you meant...
re: kkcoburn
Did you search for Zilch in Orano or Orono?
Fiddlehead and Massimo's, ditto. For something more lowkey, with a small menu but an amazing bar, try Nocturnem Drafthaus. Zen is pretty good, nice bar, Asian fusion type place.
Woodman's in Orono has a great bar and OK food. Other than that there's nothing really great in Orono or Old Town.
If you have time in the morning, The Friar's Bake House is a very, very special place. My favorite Whoopie Pies.
Fiddleheads and Mossimo's are excellent. For very good Japanese fare try Yoshi's across the river in Brewer
Trust me -for lunch, breakfast,a real cup of coffee (the kind that actually tastes like coffee) - go to Java Joe's Cafe, around the corner from the Univ. of Maine Art Museum in downtown Bangor. You'll have to drive hours to find better coffee. I was tearing my hair out looking for someplace to hang out, eat, as I have to spend an entire day in Bangor once a week. Mattie Suphatsa, who owns the place with her husband, makes the best coffee, hot chocolate, ginger chicken soup, thai entrees in the midcoast. I've tried every place in sight - you can't get better coffee than hers. Added bonus, the most beautiful, vintage green linoleum, and vintage enameled booth bathroom. Also, an eccentric used and new bookstore links to the cafe through a sidedoor. Everything is spotless. Not much to look at on first glance but this is a wonderful find. Say hi to Mattie - such a nice lady.

(09-11 January, 2014-Istanbul, Turkey) The Regional Workshop on Harmonization of Seed Legislation and Seed Policy Formulation was held in Istanbul, Turkey on 09-11 January 2014 under GCP/INT/123/MUL, Seed Sector Development in Countries of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).
The project was launched in June 2013 with an inception workshop where senior representatives of the project countries gathered in Ankara. The first technical workshop (Bishkek, October 2013) was held together with selected national consultants whose responsibilities were discussed during the event. The second workshop which was organised in Istanbul aimed to develop an outline of the work plan for the national consultants for 2014.
The main purpose of the workshop was to bring together all those who will be involved in implementing the project in order to guide them and to define their respective roles.
In the first session of the workshop, the overall structure of the project was explained by Hafiz Muminjanov, Plant Production and Protection Officer at FAO Sub Regional Office for Central Asia (SEC).
The project intends to support both national governments and ECO countries in the regional harmonization process which is ultimately expected to lead to an increased trade in the ECO region. It is also aimed to improve the conditions and availability of various types of seeds for all farmers in the region.

Days after voters approved Lafayette Utilities System's plan to build a fiber optics network to every home and business in the city, local proponents of the project see several more hurdles on the horizon.
"There's still a whole lot of work to do," says City-Parish Councilman Marc Mouton. "Having never done this before, we're going to proceed cautiously but also with the mandate that this council has from the electorate."
The utility still estimates it is at least two years away from beginning to offer phone, cable and high-speed Internet services to homes over the fiber network.
Directly ahead for LUS is ironing out financing rules with the Public Service Commission ' rules that could affect LUS' bond rating and make LUS alter its initial business plan. The PSC could meet as soon as this Friday, July 22, to address the issue.
Incumbent telecommunications providers BellSouth and Cox Communications, who fought to have the issue defeated at the polls, have lobbied the PSC to not allow LUS to pledge its utilities assets for the project's bonds and to apply strict rules to LUS price rates. (Bellsouth Regional Manager John Williams did not return a phone call by press time.)
Mouton says he hopes the public's recent show of support at the polls will help clear the opposition. "I would hope that [BellSouth and Cox] would work with us in seeing that the will of the people is implemented. They were out to fight to protect their interest, and I can applaud that. The ball is in their court now for how they want to respond."
Last Saturday's election ended with 62 percent of city voters approving the $125 million bond issue. The final tally was 12,290 votes in favor of the project, with 7,507 in opposition. ' NS
Louisiana coastal restoration scored a major coup last week when the U.S. House passed its version of the 2005 Water Resources Development Act. The $10 billion omnibus bill authorizes hundreds of navigation, flood, and environmental improvement projects, including $1.13 billion for Louisiana coastal restoration.
The biennial WRDA legislation is administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and is the federal government's largest environmental spending bill. The last time the bill was passed was in 2000, making this year's bill three years overdue. In the past, it has funneled billions of dollars into major projects for Chesapeake Bay and the Florida Everglades. The funds included in the bill for Louisiana's coast will go to projects designated by the state and the Army Corps of Engineers in the Louisiana Coastal Area study, which can be viewed at www.lca.gov.
The LCA represents the largest coastal restoration project in American history. Before going into affect, WRDA still must pass the Senate, which is yet to schedule a vote on the bill into its tightly packed agenda. ' NS
A new building, new computers ' all the UL Lafayette library lacked was a commemorative image of the woman who was the driving force behind its inception. Dr. Charles Triche, director of the Edith Garland Dupre library, has announced that the board has chosen artist Janine Collins to paint the nearly life-size portrait of Dupre that will hang in the main entrance. Collins' portrait of Herbert and Maurice Heymann hangs in the Petroleum Club, and a likeness of LSU School of Business namesake, E.J. Orso, was also done by the Lafayette painter. ' MT

NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 With the passage of two amendments to Louisiana's much-amended constitution (it has been amended almost 200 times now) higher education has an even bigger target on its collective back, columnist Jim Beam opines in this post. Higher ed used to share the spotlight with health care, but that has changed, he says.

Knowles, who has a house in the Faubourg Marigny district and owns a boutique in the Quarter, married Alan Ferguson.
NOV 21 This post on the Fuel Fix blog outlines a $1.4 billion move announced this week by the Apache Corp. that includes the sale of assets in south Louisiana. The company's interests in more than 90,000 acres in south Louisiana are some of the assets being sold, the post reports.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

1994--The Year in Review
NW Nat. Gas Co., 153 PUR4th 174 (Wash.U.T.C.1994).
Water Utilities (em
Paying for Federal Mandates
They say new regulations are like hidden taxes; politicians get away with something for nothing. The cost is not felt until the affected industry invests the capital necessary to make the mandated improvements and then recoups from ratepayers. In a rate-regulated industry like water, where competition cannot force shareholders to absorb costs, regulators seek to avoid the sometimes exorbitant rate increases needed to fund water-system improvements mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Such increases had regulators looking at new rate designs such as systemwide rate averaging, long-range planning, and rate base valuation rules.
s Averaged Rates. The Florida PSC has allowed Southern States Utilities Inc. to charge statewide uniform rates for water services, finding the averaged rate structure superior to stand-alone charges for individual service districts. The PSC also rejected alternative rate structures, including: 1) uniform rates with subsidy cap; 2) stand-alone rates adjusted by a uniform companywide amount; 3) uniform rate, excluding return on investment;
4) stand-alone rate with residential rate cap; 5) countywide rates. The PSC found that while the uniform rates involved the greatest level of subsidies between service districts, they produced charges that even the utility's poverty-level ratepayers could afford. It added that spreading costs among all ratepayers was important because of the industry's need to replace aging infrastructure while also upgrading treatment facilities to meet increasingly stringent environmental standards. Furthermore, the PSC said that statistical analyses showed no correlation between significant cost factors and revenues that might support individual system rate adjustments. Re So. States Utils., Inc., 155 PUR4th 454 (Fla.P.S.C.1994).
s Strategic Planning. The New York PSC has directed all large water utilities (annual revenues in excess of $1 million) to file long-range strategic plans on a yearly basis. It found formal planning requirements necessary to ensure that utilities and ratepayers are adequately prepared to finance construction to meet SDWA and surface water treatment rules as well as other corrective actions to maintain high-quality service. Re Policy to Require Large Water Utils. to Initiate Long-Term Strat. Plan. Process, 155 PUR4th 361 (N.Y.P.S.C.1994).
s Rate Base Issues. Citing a need for new water treatment facilities required under the SDWA, the Maine PUC has approved a rate increase of 24.5 percent for Consumers Maine Water Co., a new water utility formed by the recent merger of three smaller companies. The PUC also set new policy for the treatment of post-test-period additions to rate base for water companies. It rejected a proposal to require utilities to show that: 1) the plant is required by government mandate; 2) the addition is known and measurable and the "matching principle" is not violated; and 3) the financial health of the utility is threatened if the investment is not included. Re Camden & Rockland Water Co., et al., 154 PUR4th 89 (Me.P.U.C.1994). t

I'm always a little bit disappointed that I'm not a professional basketball player, but air travel takes it to a whole new level. I originally booked a two-part flight to Halifax on Monday, and ended up having to leave Sunday night and sleep in the Philadelphia airport after my first flight was cancelled. That was fine, until my flight the next afternoon had to turn around and go back to Philadelphia when we were right over Halifax.
SH Blog: Bledsoe needs surgery on right knee and is out indefinitely, Woj destroys J.R. Smith in column
ERIC BLEDSOE OUT INDEFINITELY: The season of major injuries continued on Thursday, as news broke that guard Bledsoe will be out indefinitely due to expected surgery on his troublesome right knee. Marc Stein of ESPN broke the news: Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe, a top contender for the NBA's Most Improved Player award, is out indefinitely after the team determined he needs a surgical procedure to repair cartilage in his right knee, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Sources told ESPN.com that the
Bernucca: Memo to Mitch Kupchak: Stop Haggling and Start Tanking
Mitch Kupchak shouldn't be playing hardball. In his desire to trade Pau Gasol, the GM of the Los Angeles Lakers should not have insisted on receiving Dion Waiters or a first-round pick from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Nobody has overpaid for a rental since Ernie Grunfeld sent Ray Allen to Seattle for Gary Payton — and that was a long time ago. Kupchak should have lowered his demands to match the team's expectations. The Lakers are done for this season and should be
Scotto: New Year's Resolutions for Knicks and Nets: Rebuild
Can money buy happiness? If you're the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks, the answer is no. The Nets have the league's highest payroll, while the Knicks rank second. The combined exorbitant payroll has produced a deflating 18-38 record and proven any championship aspirations were merely a pipe dream. Ironically, speaking of the pipe, J.R. Smith was the first Knick to panic back when the team was only 3-8 at the time. Now, it appears Smith's anxiety was warranted. Thanks to injuries, a lack
Gambling on the Eastern Conference: Long odds on everyone not named Pacers or Heat
Brain-twister for you today, folks. Go back to the start of the 2005-06 regular season, and try to name a superstar player who has represented the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. Your answer cannot include LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo or Ray Allen. It's OK. Keep thinking …
Sprung: Nets face yet another identity crisis without Lopez
What are the Brooklyn Nets right now, other than a pathetic underachieving ballclub? Brook Lopez is not coming back this season after breaking his foot, and the Nets dropped to 2-8 without him after Monday's 103-86 loss to Indiana. Brooklyn is 9-18, a .333 winning percentage. "It's certainly a big setback, he's a great player," Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. "One of the best centers in the league, so it's obviously very difficult to replace what he gives on both ends." What's worse
Tweet of the Night: David West says "blame the GM" after beating the Nets
It's been an unexpected season of sorts for the Brooklyn Nets. That is to say, they have been one of the worst teams in the entire league rather than one of the best as many expected them to be prior to the season. They were supposed to challenge the Miami Heat and match up very well against the Indiana Pacers. Both notions are seemingly laughable at this point.
Bernucca: In Trying to Overtake Knicks, Nets Have Become Them
In his stated effort to upstage Knicks owner James Dolan, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has become him. Like Dolan, Prokhorov desperately wants an NBA championship. Like Dolan, he has pursued that desperation with financial abandon, giving his GM an open checkbook. Like Dolan, he has overspent on overvalued big names. Like Dolan, he has mortgaged his team's future by giving away multiple draft picks. And like Dolan, he appears headed down the abyss. In two months, the Nets have gone from contenders with

Story prevails over adversity...
The story is, for all intents and purposes, the highest point of the game here. In fact, this might be one of the best told and fleshed out stories in any game, RPG or otherwise. The tale goes that in the not so distant future, humanity uncovers artifacts from an ancient alien race known as the Protheans that slingshots their technology, especially in the areas of military and space travel, centuries into the future. Now successfully part of a galactic alliance with several other alien races, humanity has once again unearthed a Prothean artifact, a beacon, that you, as your very own created Commander Shephard, are sent to retrieve and bring before the galactic council. Things immediately goes south, as a rogue SPECTRE (essentially super privilaged secret agents) named Saren seeks to use the beacon for his own devices. The whole thing becomes infinitely more complicated until soon, the fate of the entire universe rests on Shephard and his team.
The way the story is presented, through several well produced cutscenes, and countless engrossing conversations of which the player is free to progress through as they see fit. It's all very deep stuff, and it is voiced to perfection by each and every actor in the bunch. Indeed, sound is another excellent aspect of the Mass Effect package, as guns sound impactful, creatures sound appropriately alien and ferocious, and music switches between epic space opera to beeping and booping techno beats during specific sequences.
The visuals keep up for the most part as well, as characters are detailed and expressive. This is a good looking game overall, but many graphical glitches occur when textures forget to load or environments pop up out of nowhere. It's nothing too major, but it takes away from the otherwise spectacular presentation and sound package (not to mention the story) when a scene switches only to see textures finishing loading while the action is already well under way.
This sets up Mass Effect to be quite the high end adventure, and as far as ground covered, Mass Effect offers a LOT to explore. An entire universe, practically, is set up for you to explore relatively early. Although the actual story missions only take you to a handful of these, there will eventually be one of the game's well written side quests that leads you to the other ones. The games sense of scale is amazing, and it truly is a treat to see how large this universe that Bioware actually is.
Now this may seem like the pros FAR outweigh the cons, and... lets be honest, this game really had no chance of being BAD.
We haven't reached gameplay. And gameplay is where things all start to go wrong for Mass Effect. For one thing, the interface here seems to be... broken. Navigation and inventory, two things that should be on lockdown in any RPG, are somehow unforgiveably screwed up in this game. Managing items is very frustrating, and on planet surfaces, where navigation is hardest to get a handle on, the mini map provided is completely useless.
Secondly, the combat employed here is nothing special. It's just the experience here is too lopside-ed. If you play as a soldier, you'll only get the games somewhat boring shooting mechanics, and miss out on the games funner aspects, like using tech and biotic powers. It just seems that the combat tries to be a shooter, but can't hold up it's end, while still maintaining a magic system that seems stunted to make way for the shooting aspects. It works in some instances, but in others, completely fail.
Mass Effect is an ambitious game, but in it's ambition, almost misses basic game mechanics that NEED to be there. It's redeeming qualities make up for the flaws it entails, but one can't help thinking that things should be more solid than they are. Mass Effect still gets an 8.0 for being a well crafted game with a fantastic story, but with a pile of minor annoyances that just should not be there in such a title.
PS: Auto save MY ASS!

After a month of traveling and meeting friends and relatives, I am now back in N, re-adapting to my country GP life. And it's alright, even surprisingly so. My patients seem to like me and I like them (well, most of them, anyway) and the little town actually begins to feel a little like home.
But I know I won't stay for ever. Despite many good experiences, I don't feel like I belong here. At its core, N is a quiet, conservative backwater with an aging population and withering economy – rural to urban transition in progress. I'm a product of the capital city region.
And then again, my roots are here. My grandparents left N decades ago to settle elsewhere, but in the town cemetary, maybe one in ten tombstones still bears my family name. A neurologist I know told me that as a result of centuries of inbreeding, this region is home to some interesting hereditary disorders.
That's a line of thought probably best not explored too far.
The temperature has dropped below zero but I still carry on with my new hobby: Nordic walking. I primarily used to run but during the fall I've found I prefer walking with poles to jogging. To be honest, running always felt like a chore, something I mostly did out of sense of duty. On the other hand, Nordic walking is fun, it lets one work on one's upper body as well, and walking on asphalt is not half as dull as jogging on asphalt.
I have also begun to record my exercises in Sports Tracker (which brings wicked joy to the spreadsheet-loving part of me). I also tried Endomondo which seemed nice and had more features, but in the end I decided to go with Sports Tracker for its cleaner interface and straightforward functionality.
I took the above photo on a 9 km walk along the edges of the town yesterday. Today when I woke up, the first snow had covered the ground.
