Tay Home
131 Main Street
Friday - Sunday
Save to Foursquare
Tay Home is a one of a kind tea shop and design store located in the historic hamlet of Andes in Delaware County, New York. Once you step inside this gently restored 1840's Greek Revival two-story building, you're instantly transported to another world - one that is inviting, magical and full of visual enticements everywhere you look...
On the main floor of Tay Home, you will find the popular twelve foot TEA BAR, which serves Nini's distinctive tea blends daily (both hot and iced), as well as organic, vegetarian sandwiches, salads and tea-infused desserts. As you walk around on the first floor you will find a myriad of items that will enchant you: tabletop, gifts from the garden, a well-stocked tearoom with teaware and accessories all geared to brew loose leaf teas, as well as local artisan's designs such as beeswax candles, handmade jewelry and handcrafted leather accessories. The color coordinated merchandise is artfully displayed, no surprise here, as the owner Nini Ordoubadi is a seasoned interior decorator and stylist.
Visitors are invited to explore the second floor, where they will find the Silk Road Room and the White Room. Furniture both antique and modern blended seamlessly in addition to accents for the home, pillows, throws, carpets and one of a kind artifacts. Here Nini has created two distinctively different environments to give expression to her two loves in style: vivid, tribal color and pattern (as expressed in the Silk Road Room) and serene, peaceful zen (the White Room). "Dichotomy in design is what interests me," she says, "The yin and yang. Like blending a tea, bringing different elements together - to create harmony in a room or creating a well-balanced and delicious tea blend."
This year we're celebrating seven years of being open in Andes and now with the introduction of Nini's debut fashion line NINI O. COLLECTION, Tay Home has truly evolved from just a tea shop to a LIFESTYLE store. Please come and visit us soon to experience the Tay Life Style. We're waiting for you with a cup of tea...
Tay Tea Bar continues to offer a fresh, seasonal lunch menu along with tea-infused desserts. This year our focus is buying our vegetables and produce from local, organic micro farms and many surrounding farmer's markets. We believe you can taste the difference!
We offer vegetarian dishes as well as innovative and delicious vegan ones too. Recently we've added a few gluten-free items to the list of salads and side dishes. There is something to please every discerning palate and more...
The ever popular Nini Panini, our delicious grilled cheese sandwich made with local, organic bread from Bread Fellows, and seasonal grilled vegetables is now available as a vegan panini with refried beans and veggies.
Tay Tea and local cheese maker Harpersfield Cheese have collaborated on making tea infused tilsit cheese that we are now serving and selling exclusively at our Tea Bar! We currently have 3 tea cheeses: Marry Me Again, Berber and A Day In Provence. Once you try these you'll never go back to plain ol' cheese.
Our organic dessert menu features seasonal fruit pies, cookies, cakes and brownies all infused with Tay Tea blends! This year we've added gourmet fair trade organic coffee too and serve it hot, cold and bedouin style (infused with green cardamom and cane sugar).
Come to TAY HOME and enjoy a leisurely lunch on our porch, kick back and surf the net, and sample our single note organic teas, or Nini's ever expanding Tay Tea blends.
Available in the Silk Road Room
Come view the Nini O. Collection, Nini's debut line of clothes is inspired by the vibrant colors, textures and bold patterns of nomadic tribes from around the globe.
There are 16 designs: long skirts, wrap tops, dresses and decorative aprons. The clothes, all hand-sewn in the Catskills, are meant to be worn interchangeably in layers. Most of the sizing is one size fits all. The look is fluid, easy and eye-catching.
The Nini O. Collection uses only natural dye and eco conscious fabrics: bamboo, organic cotton, raw silk, flax linen, wool and cashmere, as well as vintage and antique finds to embellish our decorative aprons.
The style can be defined as "Urban Nomad Meets Gypset!" Perfect for the bon vivant woman who lives, works and travels around the globe and is at home everywhere she goes.
The Nini O. Collection is currently available for purchase only at Tay Home in Andes, NY.

Videogame journalist and host Geoff Keighley from Spike TV's GTTV
With a career that spans on-camera hosting, producing, and journalism, Geoff Keighley has deftly moved between mediums to report on, host and "eventize" the biggest moments of the year for the video game industry, as well as establish himself as a leading force in a-la-carte journalism with a series of iPad apps.
While it's a long way from his humble beginning as a 13-year-old video game journalist reviewing games from his bedroom in Toronto, Canada, Keighley's multiple ventures across television, digital platforms, and publishing have redefined mainstream media coverage of gaming and cemented his reputation "Mike Wallace meets Kurt Loder for the video game generation," according to Newsweek.
Keighley is perhaps best known for his extensive work with Viacom Media Networks, where he has hosted and produced video game programming for a decade across Spike TV, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, and VH1. Whether it is hosting a weekly news-magazine show (GTTV on Spike), a roundtable talk show with experts (The Bonus Round on GameTrailers.com), an interstitial series (Gamehead), the annual Video Game Awards, or even Spike TV's live coverage of E3, and Comic-Con, Keighley helped establish Viacom Media Networks as a leading outlet for gaming coverage across its diverse portfolio of networks and platforms.
Most recently Keighley executive produced and hosted live one-hour launch specials for both the Xbox One (featuring Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Deadmau5) and the PlayStation 4 on Spike TV, and has produced special live event programming at Viacom for a diverse slate of game franchises including events including the live launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and countless other launch specials for everything from Madden NFL to Halo and Tomb Raider.
In 2011 Keighley founded his own publishing group to create a groundbreaking series of iPad apps that Fast Company says are "pushing the limits of storytelling" and "serving as a model for publishing a la carte journalism." Called The Final Hours, these 15,000 word multimedia experiences are written by Keighley and give gamers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the ups and downs of game development at the world's top studios behind games like Portal 2, Mass Effect 3, Tomb Raider, and Titanfall (forthcoming, March 2014). These "futuristic magazine articles" (Kotaku.com) reconnect Keighley with his roots as a game journalist, where he worked for Time Inc as game reviewer for Entertainment Weekly, and as a feature writer for both TIME and Business 2.0 magazines. There he not only covered the game business with major features on companies like EA and Nintendo, but also wrote profiles of Cirque du Soleil and internet news entrepreneur Matt Drudge.
Additionally, Keighley is seen as a host on GameStop TV in 4,300 retail locations across the US for the leading specialty retailer, and serves as the co-chairman of the Game Critics Awards, an independent body of the leading journalists in the industry who award the annual "Best of E3" honors.
From the early days of writing for magazines like Computer Gaming World, through television hosting on shows like Electric Playground and on networks like G4 (G4TV.com), and producing programs such as the landmark 5-hour Discovery Channel documentary The Rise of the Video Game with World of Wonder, Keighley has grown up alongside the video game industry over the past 20 years.
Keighley, who was named one of the top 30 journalists under 30 in 2004 by NewsBios, is a graduate from the University of Southern California.

Saudi villa prices rise 20 pct in H1 2011 -report
Saudi Arabia is rolling out a $400 billion spending plan to combat massive housing problem caused by population growth.
May 9, 2011 2:15 by p.deleon
Prices for villas in Saudi Arabia rose 20.5 percent on average in the first half of the year from the second half of 2010, with values seen rising further in the short-to-medium term, Banque Saudi Fransi said in a report.
Villa rents gained nearly 11 percent in parts of Riyadh and Jeddah while apartments rose "modestly" and land prices were up 4.8 percent on average throughout the kingdom, the report said.
Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, is facing a massive housing problem due to rapid population growth and an inflow of expatriate workers coming to the kingdom which is rolling out a $400 billion infrastructure spending plan.
"The mismatch between supply and demand, particularly for smaller villas, will be a key challenge for state and private sector investors to address in the coming years," the report said.
"The prospect of an onslaught of new units being added to the market is likely to lead many Saudis to put off plans to buy properties for a year or two in anticipation that prices would stabilise or fall."
The bank said the average 1.28 million riyal price ($341,300) for a small villa in the kingdom would be too high for most young Saudis who are expected to opt instead for cheaper large apartments.
Economists and experts say that between 30 and 50 percent of Saudis own homes, but the majority of young Saudis do not.
Saudi Arabia needs 1.65 million new homes by 2015 to meet growing demand in the world's largest oil exporter, the bank said earlier this year. [ID:nLDE72J0E6]
Property consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle said in March it expects rents and land prices to rise by 10 percent each year until 2014. [ID:nLDE72Q0DP]
Faced with a housing shortage, Saudi King Abdullah in March pledged 250 billion Saudi riyals to be spent on 500,000 new homes.

As analytics tools and platforms continue to proliferate, a central challenge for most practitioners is how to successfully compete for funding dollars for BI / Analytics. Compounding this challenge is that, rather than a core technology, Analytics is considered by many to be an enabling capability. So how do we go about building an analytics business case?
What's a Business Case?
First of all, we need to understand that the term "business case" denotes different things to different people. Taking a leaf from Clayton Christensen's book, The Innovator's Solution, there are two definitions of the Job To Be Done (JTBD) by a business case:
- A strategic perspective is to think about a business case as a vehicle for aligning multiple stakeholders to take action upon a particular area;
- A more tactical approach is to consider the JTBD as convincing budget owners to allocate and/or disburse resources to implement a solution. Resources can include internal development time and spend, external spend on a solution, and any customization, implementation, training and change management costs.
In an environment where there's always competition for resources, developing the right type of business case will determine what gets done versus what doesn't. However, that's where the similarities end. We've seen business cases that range from two sentences in a spreadsheet all the way through to a multi-month strategy to convince decision makers, and everything in between.
Types of Business Cases
While there's no single taxonomy for a business case, there are three levels of business case to consider. Figuring out which of these you need to build should be your first step.
- Level 1(Basic): Cost + Technical solution enablers / benefits + Business benefits (qualitative)
This is the simplest form of business case, and one that's suitable for items that are easy to understand and may or may not have a dollar cost. These business cases have relatively lower value and involve minimal change management. Pulling together this type of business case is fairly quick and easy really the only challenging part is to identify the business benefits.
- Level 2 (Intermediate): Level 1 + quantified business benefits + implementation roadmap
This type of business case involves going beyond the cost side to incorporate the dollarized impact of business benefits. In many cases the business benefits can be easily estimated, but the key is to run apples to apples analyses for three to five years.
- Level 3 (Advanced): Level 2 + benefits realization plan + Storyline
The key aspect of this type of business case is that it's got a storyline. Ideally, it starts with the strategic goals of the organization and shows how this investment will enable them.
Strategic Intent of An Analytics Business Case
Five years ago, many of the analytics business cases were about justifying spending on external software to ramp up Analytics capability. Now that analytics is ubiquitous, there's a need to more precisely define the strategic intent of the Analytics business case. This can include any one of the following:
- Horizontal Analytics expansion to extend existing capabilities to additional parts of the organization
- Vertical Analytics expansion to deepen existing capabilities/ take capabilities to the next level
- Addition of Analytics capabilities such as visualization or predictive analytics
- Standardization of analytics across the enterprise, to take advantage of scale
- Establishment of a Analytics Competency Center
- Leveraging analytics with customers, suppliers, etc.
- Security and risk management, such as ensuring that decisions across the enterprise are made using the same set of data rather than multiple versions of the truth
In almost all these analytics business cases, the crux of the case rests on identifying what the impact of analytics will be on existing business processes. In other words, how much of a "lift" will the capability bring to the operating key performance indicators (KPIs) of the downstream processes that access to information enable?
In many instances, the need for an analytics business case is actually being driven by the business, because it wants to take advantage of capabilities such as end user visualization and predictive analytics without having to go through IT to have these delivered. In these situations, explaining the linkages between analytics and core operating processes, information governance, and Big Data is a valuable input that can be provided by IT.
Future of Business Analytics Business Cases
Two new vectors that are driving an enhanced approach to the building of analytics business cases are the mushrooming of new technologies and the shift of tech spending to the business, particularly to Marketing. I'll cover the following in more detail in a future blog:
- Business cases involving defined "Use Cases"
- Business cases built using Design Thinking approaches

It was a visit to York, Pennsylvania; many years ago that introduced me to the passion many women have for baseball. My wife and I were engaged to be married and we were visiting her Aunt Rose Hollander, a retired schoolteacher, a widower, who lived alone. I had never met Aunt Rose before and was a bit nervous anticipating how I would be received.
Sometimes if we're not slapped in the face by the significance of an event, we take for granted the very things we most enjoy. For dye-in-the-wool Delaware County basketball fans, that has to be the case with the National Junior College Athletic Association Division III Men's Basketball Championships held at SUNY Delhi.

Former late night talk show king, Johnny Carson, understood the importance of preparation. "Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is, 'Are you ready?' counseled Carson when advising young comedians about the road to success.
University of Rochester men's basketball coach Mike Neer feels success is all about developing good habits. Talking to 60 or more young basketball enthusiasts, including Andes guards Eric Reid and Sage Beemer, Neer opened and closed his Big Man/Point Guard Clinic talking about habits. According to the U of R mentor, successful play on the hardwoods is all about the development of good habits. "Invest in good habits. It's not about the sneakers, not the shorts, not the dunks, not the threes, it's the good habits you develop that make the difference," implored Neer at the start of the clinic.
The Avoca Summer Classic is my favorite off-season basketball venue. This three-on-three tournament gem is the highlight of a packed spring and summer basketball schedule for my Andes boys' basketball team. In its eighth year this summer, the Avoca Classic is a full day of competitive basketball and small town community fun.
"How are your guys doing?"
The question was directed my way by Houghton College men's basketball coach Brad Zarges. Flawlessly playing the role of host, Zarges was eager to learn how the Andes team was doing at the Houghton Team Basketball Camp. Knowing Andes was a late fill-in replacement team and by far the smallest of 16 boys' teams at the camp, Zarges wanted to be sure things were going well.
The worldwide obsession with the passing of Michael Jackson devoured many of us during the past two weeks. No matter where you turned, the glare of the media lights were focused on everything Jackson. Speculation about how Jackson died and endless commentary concerning issues that marred his life made watching television or reading a newspaper almost painful.

"Don't say it!" warned Randy VanKeuren when center fielder Garret Fairbairn began to tell his parents on the sidelines Thursday that Margaretville pitcher Patrick O'Connell had not allowed a single Windham runner to reach first base. Unaware of the baseball lore that claims you never talk about a pending no-hitter, Fairbairn failed to heed VanKeuren's warning and blurted out the news anyway.
Gone was the poker face, that solemn look that rarely changes. Gone was the measured calm, the balanced model of self-control basketball enthusiasts from around the county have come to appreciate. Gone was the cautiousness, that unassuming demeanor, that humble outlook that would make you believe his team was light years behind when, in fact, they were on the cusp of becoming the first boys' basketball team in Section IV history to become state champions.

Click the news item for training program and cost information.
The APSIM Initiative has released a new generation of APSIM.
This version of APSIM has very limited functionality but provides a preview of where APSIM is headed in the future. It is not a replacement for the current APSIM 7.x version.
The crops that are currently validated and available are wheat, potato and oil palm.
If you are interested in having a look at this preview version of APSIM, you can download it here. For documentation, including validation graphs of the crops, goto the documentation.
The second APSIM Users and Developers Forum will be held on 5th November 2014. The forum is being held in Canberra but will also be available online via Live streaming.
You can view the program and registration form here.
The Live stream link is https://new.livestream.com/apsim/forum2014 .
The APSIM Initiative and key collaborators have been involved in the development of a new paper titled APSIM - Evolution towards a new generation of agricultural systems simulation. This paper updates the earlier work by Keating et al. (2003) and chronicles the changing external challenges and opportunities being placed on APSIM during the last decade. It also explores and discusses how APSIM has been evolving to a "next generation" framework with improved features and capabilities that allow its use in many diverse topics. The paper is now in print in the journal of Environmental Modelling & Software and available at the following link.
Find out the details of the APSIM-Wheat module and understand how wheat crop is simulated in APSIM.
This updated documentation presents the processes modelled in APSIM-Wheat, and gives the equations and defaults parameter values that are used by the model. Graphic illustrations and figures have been added to help the understanding on how the model is functioning.
The updated documentation can be found here.

Osbourne, meanwhile, has passed the last decade-plus morphing from music manager to reality-TV pioneer and variety-show judge. (Heck, even their husbands are practically from different planets: Chen is married to Leslie Moonves, the power-suited president and CEO of CBS; Osbourne has a 30-year union with rock icon Ozzy.) And yet, the polar opposite cohosts click. Five days a week, they gather — along with Aisha Tyler, Sheryl Underwood and Sara Gilbert — to swap opinions and crack each other up. We invited the two for high tea at the BG restaurant, where a ladylike setting didn't get in the way of letting off a little steam.
TV Guide Magazine: The Talk has had its share of shake-ups — see ya, Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete! Was it a relief to go into Season 3 with the lineup intact?Osbourne: Any continuity is good in your life. Now we go into work, have the best time together, then all go and live our lives.
TV Guide Magazine: What went wrong during the first season?Chen: Chemistry is something you can't fake. It's like dating. Osbourne: The rapport has to be natural. I don't think you can put it into words what happened. We couldn't get in a rhythm.
TV Guide Magazine: What do you make of the criticism that your show is a knockoff of The View?Osbourne: Does anybody say that Conan, Letterman, Leno and Ferguson are the same shows? They sit down and they interview people, so why can't there be a bunch of women doing it? It's only a format.Chen: Our show is more fun than The View. Because we avoid talking about politics, there isn't tension. There are three things you can never win when talking about: Politics, religion and the O.J. Simpson trial.
TV Guide Magazine: Tell the truth: Which guests made your job harder?Osbourne: Christie Brinkley — it was like pulling teeth. I don't think she's comfortable with who she is.Chen: She was supposed to come on and dish the dirt about her divorce from Peter Cook, but then I think the lawyers advised against it.Osbourne: And I'll tell you who's nutty...Cybill Shepherd. Very awkward to talk to.
TV Guide Magazine: Julie, when you began hosting Big Brother in 2000, you got a chilly reception from audiences. And the "Chenbot" nickname was born...Chen: It's one thing to hate the show, but they hated me. It was awful. Initially the nickname was another punch in the stomach, and then my agent sent me a clip. Someone had spliced together all the shots of me saying "But first." I burst out laughing. I was like, "They have a point! I am the Chenbot." So I embraced it. Now I'll sign my note cards "Chenbot."
TV Guide Magazine: Sharon, you recently left America's Got Talent after alleging that NBC fired your son Jack from Stars Earn Stripes due to his multiple sclerosis diagnosis. Osbourne: I loved the job, but personal feelings came into it. NBC should've been honest and said, "You know what, we really mishandled this situation, we apologize and we're going to make a donation to MS in Jack's name." I don't fit in at that corporation at all, nor do I want to. And I'm not the sort of person who's going to kiss arse. It's not like I'm trying to get in the next sitcom.
TV Guide Magazine: What would it be like if you went on a double date with your husbands? Osbourne: Oh, my goodness me, can you imagine? First, I don't think Les would understand anything that Ozzy says. And I think Ozzy would be intimidated by Les' confidence.Chen: And Les would be intimidated by Ozzy being a rock-and-roll icon. He wouldn't even know what to say.
TV Guide Magazine: When your job requires you to spend so much time speaking off the cuff, do you end up saying things that you regret?Osbourne: Every day! It's like toads fly out of my mouth. You're being silly, and [then] you go, "Ooh. Why did I say that? I really didn't mean that at all."Chen: That's why we love Sharon! Whereas Chenbot has no toads. Chenbot does not even know what a toad is. Chenbot does not compute!
The Talk airs weekdays on CBS.

Definitions for Protonˈproʊ tɒn
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word Proton
Random House Webster's College Dictionary
pro•tonˈproʊ tɒn(n.)
a positively charged elementary particle found in all atomic nuclei, the lightest and most stable of the baryons, and having a positive charge of 1.602 x 1019 coulombs: the number of protons in an atom equals that element's atomic number.
Category: Physics
Origin of proton:
1915–20; n. use of Gk prôton, neut. of prôtosfirst
Princeton's WordNet
a stable particle with positive charge equal to the negative charge of an electron
A positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and determining the atomic number of an element; the nucleus of the most common isotope of hydrogen; composed of two up quarks and a down antiquark
Origin: From πρῶτον, neuter of πρῶτος
The proton is a subatomic particle with the symbol p or p+ and a positive electric charge of 1 elementary charge. One or more protons are present in the nucleus of each atom. The number of protons in each atom is its atomic number. The name proton was given to the hydrogen nucleus by Ernest Rutherford in 1920, because in previous years he had discovered that the hydrogen nucleus could be extracted from the nuclei of nitrogen by collision, and was thus a candidate to be a fundamental particle and building block of nitrogen, and all other heavier atomic nuclei. In the modern Standard Model of particle physics, the proton is a hadron, composed of quarks. Prior to that model becoming a consensus in the physics community, the proton was considered a fundamental particle. In the modern view, a proton is composed of three valence quarks: two up quarks and one down quark. The rest masses of the quarks are thought to contribute only about 1% of the proton's mass. The remainder of the proton mass is due to the kinetic energy of the quarks and to the energy of the gluon fields that bind the quarks together. Because the proton is not a fundamental particle, it possesses a physical size—although this is not perfectly well-defined since the surface of a proton is somewhat fuzzy, due to being defined by the influence of forces that do not come to an abrupt end. The proton is about 1.6–1.7 fm in diameter.

So you wanna know more �about us�, eh?
Let me introduce myself, my name is Sammie Kennedy, the Creator of Booty Camp Fitness.
This text will be replaced
"She's [Sammie] a very inspiring strong woman, and she's taking women's fitness to new levels."
-- Sudbury's Channel 10 News
I created and started instructing Booty Camp in Spring of 07 because of three main reasons:
Right from the beginning I wanted only Superstar Instructors who were invested in delivering an outstanding experience. Instead of having �employees� who were under praised and under paid into mediocrity, I opted to create an incredible compensation and ownership package which would attract Superstars through a business process of Licensing.
As such, all of our �instructors� are much more than just �employees�. They each own a licensed territory (similar to a franchise), known as a �Licensee�. As a Licensed Instructor they share in the responsibility of creating a valuable experience for their recruits and licensed location, and are 100% compensated via profit sharing.
In fact, we have over 35,011 women on our waiting list throughout Ontario. We feel that�s because our Licensed Instructors really care and go over-and-beyond for their recruits and location.
Based on awe-inspiring demand for Booty Camp Fitness, I�ve just licensed Booty Camp Fitness for the 100th time! This means we now have the most women's only fitness boot camp locations in Ontario (actually throughout Canada)... This all since Spring 2007!
To ensure every Booty Camp is outstanding, we�ve implemented one of the highest hiring standards in the Canadian fitness industry. As a result, in our first year alone we had over 700 applicants for only 21 Licensed Booty Camp Instructor spots. Beyond graduating from Booty Camp�s rigorous certification process, all of our Licensed Instructors must be certified by a Governing Body as a personal trainer or fitness instructor, CPR certified annually, and fully insured.
In addition to continuous and ongoing training, we constantly and continually get feedback from our recruits (via online surveys every 8 weeks), and have secret shoppers to ensure our core values are being maintained company wide.
As we continue to rapidly grow Booty Camp we strive to sustain an outstanding experience which emphasizes fun friendly fitness.
Our three core values are:
Through our three cores values we create value for our participants, whether you want to simply have fun exercising while maintaining your ideal body, enjoy the camaraderie of follow recruits and your friendly elite Drill Instructor, or really want fitness results such as losing lose fat/inches or achieving your ideal body.
Based on the amazing results the Recruits have gotten, I plan to:

Kwame Brown to Celtics looks very unlikely
Phew. Kwame Brown's agent is saying Brown is unlikely to sign with the Boston Celtics. (CSNNE)
"We're probably going in another direction," said his agent, Mark Bartelstein.
The reason?
Money, of course.
The Celtics have nothing more than the veteran's minimum to offer Brown.
There are a number of teams that can not only offer more money, but like the Celtics, they too are built for a deep playoff run.
"Kwame has some very interesting options to weigh," Bartelstein said. "Like I said, I think we'll have something done within the next couple of days. You never say never, because things can change quickly. But I just don't think it's going to work out with Boston."
Some poor NBA team out there is going to be paying Kwame Brown more than the veteran's minimum. Suckers. But hey, if Johan Petro is worth three years and $10 million then somebody's definitely going to show Brown the money. This free agent market is on drugs.
And yet somehow the Grizzlies are reportedly close to signing TA for only $3 million per year? It doesn't add up.

By now we have all heard the exciting features of the new iPhone 4S, especially the amazing voice recognition assistant known as Siri. Simply tell your iPhone to do something and Siri will automatically set a reminder for you. Have a question? Siri has an answer. AMAZING!
When we asked Siri, "How do I create a 360 degree video with my iPhone?," she asked us if we wanted to do a web search, and the first results that pulled up featured the GoPano micro! (Thanks, Siri!)
The new iPhone 4S has many upgraded features but the one we are most excited about is the 1080p video recording. Why? Because as the technology of the iPhone improves so will the quality of 360 degree video being produced by the GoPano. You may recall this from our blog post on, "Panoramic iPhone 360 Videos: Behind the Scenes… Pixels Unveiled."
Siri… Is My GoPano 360 Degree Video Lens Compatible with iPhone 4 and 4S?
Already take iPhone 360 video with your GoPano micro, but want to upgrade your iPhone 4 to the new 4S? No need to worry. The GoPano micro lens and case is fully compatible with the new iPhone 4S. All you have to do is download the GoPano 360 iPhone app, attach your GoPano micro and you are set to record 360 degree videos like the one here:
Siri… Can I Share My iPhone 360 Videos?
Whether you are taking iPhone 360 video with your iPhone 4 or 4S, GoPano micro's easy compatibility allows you to share all of those special captured moments on http://www.gopano.com, the only place on the web to host, view, and share iPhone 360 videos.

Just show him the Maaaannyyy!, Unconfirmed reports say that Manny Pacquiao has signed a two-year extension on his contract with Top Rank Promotions, and the deal is worth close to 75 million dollars. This should help him with his recent tax issues, if this deal is true. I tried to confirm this report, but due to what they call snakes in the grass, they don't want to disclose information on Pacquiao deal. In the past there have been tampering and unethical moves in trying to pursue the talents of the Philippine superstar fighter. We shall wait and see if this deal is true and if it is, will this help or hinder a possible Floyd Mayweather Jr. clash.

Leapfrog Issues Hospital Safety Report Cards
However, hospitals that got Cs were somewhat more likely to have a medical intensive care unit, less likely to be a member of a hospital system, and more likely to be a hospital receiving disproportionate share funds than hospitals receiving a grade of A or B. Grade A hospitals had a slightly better nurse-to-patient ratio than those hospitals that received Bs or Cs.
Binder explains that the letter grades were designed around the initiative that began years ago in Los Angeles "where the public health departments inspect restaurants and give them a grade, and the restaurants are required to post that grade in their windows."
Studies indicate that more than 60% of customers consult a restaurant's grade before eating there, Binder says "And If people look at a grade as a safety indicator before going to eat in a restaurant, wouldn't they also look at a grade as a safety indicator before going to a hospital, which is clearly more important?"
Several patient safety experts across the country say that such a score is sorely needed to help patients make decisions, especially where to go if they need to have surgery.
"I would hesitate before going to a C hospital if there was an A hospital that was equally convenient and I had equal confidence in the doctor," says Robert Wachter, MD, another member of the Leapfrog advisory panel and a national patient safety expert at the University of California San Francisco.
Wachter notes that though 12 years have passed since the Institute of Medicine's groundbreaking report, "To Err Is Human," highlighted the shockingly high numbers of deaths and unintended consequences due to hospital errors, "it's still difficult for a patient, a family member or a clinician to determine if a hospital is truly safe."
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Patient Safety for Dummies Doctors "gamble" with patients' lives, but don't let the patient in on the bet. All the emphasis on communication apparently excludes the patient from the requirement of informed consent in making all medical decisions, which is a legal requirement. HMOs and medical groups are obsessed with protecting doctors from the consequences of medical errors. Kaiser Permanente really does gamble with patients' lives, including rewarding schedulers for not giving patients appointments, drive-thru deliveries, lying to kidney transplant patients, allowing social workers to prescribe drugs without psychiatrists' permission, failure to report sexual molestation of women patients... and most recently leaving a towel inside a patient. In the Permanente Journal (Kaiser's own publication), a Kaiser patient safety doctor admits that the health plan is the third party in the exam room, controlling the doctor-patient relationship, including the relationship between patient safety and cost to the health plan.
