Time again for my latest portfolio results, this time for the March expiration month. As always, I will break down the sources of my portfolio results so that you can keep track of how each strategy is doing. Beyond the actual numbers, this report is meant to give you an over-the-shoulder look into my trading and the lessons I've learned.
For several reasons:
1. To keep me headed in the right direction. Sure, I could keep this all to myself but sharing this information publicly helps to hold me accountable and continue to try and outdo myself.
2. I want to be honest and transparent. If anyone talks about making money trading options, I think that's really the only way it should be. Wins, losses, successes and failures – the whole deal.
3. I know it inspires a lot of people to take action.

North Shore Kites
The Mokuleia Coast, west of Oahu's fabled big-boy surfer beaches, is now a big draw for kiteboarders. Toe straps hold them on the board and a waist harness fixes the kite to the rider. The key is to have enough sail size for propulsion, but not so much as to go exploring into the wild blue yonder.
Kiteboarders ride the faces and backsides of the swells, going airborne with a pendulum action off the crests. Getting started is a bit of a task—they fill the sail at the shoreline, with just enough water under the board to take off. Getting blown onto land is not a smooth ride.

Pear, Arugula, and Pancetta Salad Reviews
Gourmet | September 2006
reviews & comments (77)
I loved this salad. I didn't have the champaigne vinegar so I used a raspberry vinegar I had in my pantry and it was fine. The pancetta really adds to the flavor. Will definitely make again.
Delicious. All of the flavors and textures go together very well. Now I am on the lookout for more recipes that make use of the $15 bottle of champagne vinegar I bought. But it was worth it.
Fantastic salad. The dressing is so light and the combination of the arugula and the pancetta with the sweetness of the honey and pear is unbelievable. I had this salad with steak with Stilton cheese and the Yukon Gold Potatoes with Gorgonzola and Pancetta recipe from the October 2006 Cooking Light Magazine. I also paired it with the Bon Appetite December 1997 Peas with Pancetta (another good one is the Bon Appetite June 2006 Orzo with Peas, Dill, and Pancetta).
I too am opposed to the slaughter of baby arugulas. On the other hand, if you happen upon a wild pancetta roaming the countryside, it does make a great addition to this salad.

Architecture of the Netherlands
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (July 2009)
Dutch architecture has played an important role in the international discourse on architecture in three eras. The first of these was during the 17th century, when the Dutch empire was at the height of its power. The second was in the first half of the 20th century, during development of modernism. The third is not concluded and involves many contemporary Dutch architects who are achieving global prestige.
Examples of Dutch architecture (in situ)[edit]
Early Dutch architecture (pre 1500)[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (December 2009)
The Republic's Golden Age (1500–1700)[edit]
The Dutch Golden Age roughly spanned the 17th century. Due to the thriving economy, cities expanded greatly. New town halls and storehouses were built, and many new canals were dug out in and around various cities such as Delft, Leiden and Amsterdam for defence and transport purposes. Many wealthy merchants had a new houses built along these canals. These houses were generally very narrow and had ornamented façades that befitted their new status. In the countryside, new country houses were built, though not in the same numbers.
The architecture of the first republic in Northern Europe was marked by sobriety and restraint, and was meant to reflect democratic values by quoting extensively from classical antiquity. It found its impetus in the designs of Hendrick de Keyser, who was instrumental in establishing a Venetian-influenced style into early 17th-century architecture through new buildings like the Noorderkerk ("Northern church", 1620-1623) and Westerkerk ("Western church", 1620-1631) in Amsterdam. In general, architecture in the Low Countries, both in the Counter-Reformation-influenced south and Protestant-dominated north, remained strongly invested in northern Italian Renaissance and Mannerist forms that predated the Roman High Baroque style of Borromini and Bernini. Instead, the more austere form practiced in the Dutch Republic was well suited to major building patterns: palaces for the House of Orange and new civic buildings, uninfluenced by the Counter-Reformation style that made some headway in Antwerp.
The major exponents of the mid-17th century, Jacob van Campen and Pieter Post, adopted de Keyser's forms for such eclectic elements as giant-order pilasters, gable roofs, central pediments, and vigorous steeples. Brought together in a coherent combination, these stylistic developments anticipated Wren's Classicism. The most ambitious constructions of the period included the seats of self-government in Amsterdam (1646) and Maastricht (1658), designed by Campen and Post, respectively. On the other hand, the residences of the House of Orange are closer to a typical burgher mansion than to a royal palace. Two of these, Huis ten Bosch and Mauritshuis, are symmetrical blocks with large windows, stripped of ostentatious Baroque flourishes. The same austerely geometrical effect is achieved without great cost or pretentious effects at the stadholder's summer residence of Het Loo.
Modernism (1900–1980)[edit]
During the 20th century Dutch architects played a leading role in the development of modern architecture. Out of the early 20th century rationalist architecture of Berlage, architect of the Beurs van Berlage, separate groups developed during the 1920s, each with their own view on which direction modern architecture should take. Expressionist architects like Michel de Klerk and Piet Kramer were associated with Amsterdam (see Amsterdam School). Another group consisted of more functionalist architects (Nieuwe Zakelijkheid or Nieuwe Bouwen), such as Mart Stam, Leendert van der Vlugt, and Johannes Duiker, who had good ties with the international modernist group CIAM. A third group came out of the De Stijl movement, among them J.J.P. Oud and Gerrit Rietveld. Both architects later built in a functionalist style.
A 1918 reaction to Dutch functionalist architecture was the Traditionalist School, which lasted until well after 1945.

Growing numbers of businesses are recognizing
the value and convenience of using Internet-based online backup and electronic
vaulting for offline data archiving and disaster recovery. Yet, many have
lingering concerns about data security, especially transmitting proprietary,
confidential data over
an inherently public network such as the Internet.
If you are a Network Administrator, CIO, or
other IT professional considering LiveVault Service, you may
be wondering:
How secure is my data during transmission over
the Internet?
How can I be assured that my data is protected
from being viewed or stolen by unauthorized users or
compromised by hackers?
Such concerns are justified, and LiveVault Online Backup Service addresses them with state-of-the-art
security technology
similar to that which major financial institutions use to protect their Internet
transactions. In
particular, LiveVault Online Backup Service combines password-protected SSL-level web access,
electronic key technology, advanced encryption techniques, and industry
standard digital certificates with proprietary Virtual Private Network (VPN)
tunneling technology
to produce a secure passage for data and guarantee
the authenticity of sites sending or receiving
data over the Internet.
When accessing MyLiveVault, (your own web
management portal for LiveVault Online Backup Service)—whether to enroll, download or install
LiveVault Online Backup Service Agent
software, set backup configurations, or initiate restore operations—your connection is
secure with
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and login protection.
To ensure the maximum level of security using SSL, you must use a browser that
supports 128-bit encryption. This is the same level of security that is used
today for secure online transactions with
banks and e-commerce sites. It is also the same level of security that most
business-to-business sites use.
Establishing an SSL connection ensures that you
are connected to the web page you intended
to connect to. You will be prompted to enter a
username and password so that LiveVault Online Backup Service can verify that you are who you say you
are. The SSL
connection is like a secure tunnel with one-way authentication. You are assured
of the identity of the site you are connected to, and LiveVault Online Backup Service knows
who you are when you identify yourself by logging in with your username and
A digital certificate is an electronic identity issued by a trusted third party,
called a Certificate Authority, who, in effect, verifies your identity. When you
sign up for LiveVault Service, LiveVault Online Backup Service creates and
digital certificates that individually identify each protected server. The
LiveVault Service Internet Gateway and backup servers that receive your data also
have their own unique digital certificates. These
digital certificates enable a customer server and
its associated LiveVault Online Backup Service servers to authenticate their identities to each other
and to certify that they
are to be trusted before they exchange data. Only after such two-way
authentication is established does the LiveVault Service Internet Gateway create the VPN
tunnel for exchanging data. Since only a LiveVault Online Backup Service Agent with a valid
certificate can communicate
with a LiveVault Service Internet Gateway server, it
is virtually impossible for an unauthorized user to make a connection from any
computer other
than a protected server.
The basic components of a digital certificate are: name, electronic key, and
signature. Electronic keys are essentially very large, 1024 bit numbers that are
used to encrypt data. Keys may be public or private and are used in pairs.
Public keys are keys you can disclose to a selected party. Private keys are kept
to yourself. You can encrypt a piece of data with the public key and then send
that data to a designated recipient. Using the other (private) key in this pair,
the recipient can then decrypt it. So by encrypting data with a shared public
key, you ensure that only parties who have the matching private key can "unlock"
the data.
When you use LiveVault Service, you become part of
LiveVault Online Backup Service's extended network. LiveVault Online Backup Service controls every node on this network,
decides who has access, and issues digital certificates to every authorized
user. Each standalone LiveVault Service Internet Gateway
server has its certificate. Nobody else can create a
certificate that both you and LiveVault Online Backup Service can trust.
LiveVault Online Backup Service digital certificates authenticate
the identity of all networked servers, so that the LiveVault Service Internet Gateway
can then
establish a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
tunnel that will transmit data between a client's
server and an offsite data center.
LiveVault Online Backup Service VPN tunneling technology uses
encryption and signing to create a private
connection over a public network. This VPN technology, in effect, converts
public networks, such as the Internet, to private networks that
can be accessed only by authorized personnel.
The tunnel is a way of putting data inside
of a protected container. It can be described as
a secret envelope that's wrapped around
all your data, or like sealing data in a safe and sending it to someone who has
the key
and knows how to reopen the safe. Even the
network addresses are encapsulated in this
envelope. LiveVault Online Backup Service ensures that only
authenticated backup and restore traffic will enter or leave through the VPN
tunnel created between two authenticated servers. This is the same technology
that major financial institutions use for their Internet-based transactions.
Once the VPN tunnel is established between
two servers that know they can trust each
other, all data that goes through the tunnel is protected by the Advanced
Encryption Standard (AES) and a digital signature. AES is the
state-of-the-art encryption standard developed by the U.S. National Institute of
and Technology (NIST) with industry experts and the cryptographic community. The
overall goal of AES was to develop a Federal Standard that specifies an
algorithm capable of protecting sensitive
government information well into the future.
Before data is sent over the network, AES
encryption is used to encode it with a session key that is only shared with the
LiveVault Online Backup Service server
at the other end. For maximum security, all data
elements, the headers and network addresses,
are also encrypted. So even if someone could gain access to what is inside the
tunnel, they would still not be able to identify the owner of the data or its
source address.
Besides being encrypted, data going through the tunnel is also signed and
compressed. Signing provides another level of data security. A digital signature
on encrypted data confirms that the data has not been intercepted, decrypted,
re-encrypted before it is received. For additional security, the session key
used to encrypt
the digital signature is changed or "refreshed"
periodically. In the VPN tunnel, data is also
compressed to maximize speed and efficiency
in use of available bandwidth. LiveVault Online Backup Service VPN
tunnel technology compresses data before encrypting it for optimal cost
When deciding whether to use an Internet-based online backup and electronic
vaulting service, data security is a valid concern. You want to know that your
data is protected from loss, from
tampering or theft, and from unauthorized access during its Internet journey
from servers to data center. LiveVault Service
addresses these concerns with state-of-the-art security technology.
LiveVault Online Backup Service Internet security combines password-protected SSL-level web access,
electronic key technology, advanced encryption techniques, and industry-standard
digital certificates with
proprietary VPN tunneling technology to produce a secure passage for data and
guarantee the authenticity of sites sending or receiving data over the Internet.
LiveVault Online Backup Service's VPN tunnel alone provides three layers of security:
The tunnel can only be established between
two servers whose digital certificates allow them
to authenticate each other.
Encrypted data inside the tunnel is virtually
invisible, completely protected from anyone that does not have the key to
decrypt it.
Signing provides additional assurance that
transmitted data has not been tampered with.
LiveVault Service guarantees that your data is fully
using advanced technologies embraced by top
companies worldwide.

|Six Steamers Highlight National All-Star Squad
|Written by Chip Pruden, GM
|Wednesday, 18 July 2012 21:02
EDENTON, NC – The Edenton Steamers of the Coastal Plain League announce today that outfielders Michael Camporeale and Jason Kanzler, first baseman Spencer Branigan, second baseman Koby Kraemer and pitchers Jordan Egan and Matt Duncan have all been named as 2012 CPL all-stars.
Camporeale, a 6-1, 200-pound junior from the University of Washington has been the everyday left fielder for the Steamers this summer and was named a CPL Hitter of the Week for week three of action earlier in the season. He is batting .336 for Edenton in 31 starts and is the CPL leader in RBIs with 31, total bases with 74, slugging percentage at .607 and he is tied for the league lead in home runs with seven. He is ranked fourth in the league in runs scored with 26, and tied for second in the league in doubles with 12, while adding 10 stolen bases in 13 attempts and four outfield assists to complement his 1.000 fielding percentage.
Kanzler patrols center field for the Steamers this summer and, like Camporeale, was the recipient of the CPL Hitter of the Week award; his for week five of action. The speedy 6-0, 185-pounder from the University at Buffalo is batting .278 in 33 starts for Edenton. Kanzler has scored 24 runs, collected three doubles, a triple and his seven home runs tie him for the league lead. He has knocked in 20 and he leads the Steamers and is tied for fourth in the league with 15 stolen bases on the season.
Kraemer, a 5-9, 185-pound redshirt-junior infielder from Indiana State University, is leading the Steamers and fifth in the league in batting at .352 and his .556 slugging percentage is second on the Steamers and third in the league. Kraemer has gone 38 for 108 with seven doubles and five home runs and he has seven stolen bases in eight attempts. He has scored 21 runs walked 14 times and has an on-base percentage of .431.
The everyday first baseman for the Steamers, Branigan is a junior that stands at 6-5 and weighs in at 235 pounds. Branigan is batting .296 in 39 games and he is fifth in the league in slugging percentage at .520. He has knocked in 22 on 37 hits, including seven doubles and seven home runs, tied for the league lead, and he has scored 19 runs and taken 22 walks. His on-base percentage for the season is .403.
Duncan, a junior from Morehead State University, is 5-1 with a 1.76 ERA. The 5-10, 195-pound relief pitcher is tied for the league lead in wins and is second in the league in appearances with 22. He has thrown 30.2 innings and allowed 10 runs (six earned) on 23 hits, including only four extra-base hits. He has walked 17 and struck out 32 and opposing hitters are batting .209 against him this summer.
Egan comes to the Steamers from Norfolk State University. The 6-3, 200-pound junior right-handed closer has 14 saves and leads the league in that category. He is 2-2 with a 1.93 ERA in 23 appearances, which ties him for the league lead. In his 23.1 innings pitched he has allowed eight runs (five earned) on 11 hits, including just two extra-base hits, he has walked 17 batters and struck out 31, including a league-leading 13 strikeouts looking. Opposing hitters are batting .139 against him.
The Edenton Steamers are a proud member of the Coastal Plain League, the nation's hottest summer collegiate baseball league. Celebrating its 16th season in 2012, the CPL features 14 teams playing in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. The CPL gives college players the chance to refine their skills with the use of wooden bats. Players are housed with local host families for the summer and past experiences have been very positive for both players and hosts. Furthermore, the CPL has had over 1,000 alumni drafted and 53 alums – including 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander – make their Major League debut thus far. For more information on the Coastal Plain League, please visit the league website at www.coastalplain.com, and be sure to friend us on Facebook (at www.facebook.com/coastalplainleague) and follow us via Twitter (as cpleague).

A little bit ago, When i has been speaking with the friend with regards to my prolific online article writing. Of which got everyone genuinely planning on just what a buy 5x refined colibri butane 7x in new hampshire really hobby like writing may to the mind and body. Perhaps in the event that someone is located straight down and also is currently writing content articles each day the whole day which it might make all of them overweight, in the event that 1 was not cautious to workout and also try to eat correct. The good news is, When i comprehended any time When i started out writing. Just perservere although working has been my contemplating there.
I quickly recognized right after 8000 content articles that we has been receiving critical wrist pains, so i started out making use of a lot more voice and also talk buy 5x refined colibri butane 7x in new hampshire acceptance, this particular hasten the task and also preserved everyone coming from carpal tube, I do believe. At this point subsequently, why don't you consider the mind, intelligence, and also mental faculties control fluidity -- will it aid the mind? I do believe consequently, despite the fact that there are most likely superior and far much easier methods to create a superior working mental faculties. Come on, man to state, it can be lots of perform to publish content articles day time within and also outing.
They say that in case you compose it can be treatment knowning that is sensible, however I believe in addition, it improves your thoughts, this allows you to believe, purpose, conform, produce, cross-pollinate, essentially it's a thought training. Effectively, When i although it is just not while agonizing being a high-performance athlete's workout sessions, it can be equally emotionally tough to conquer this issues in that higher buy 5x refined colibri butane 7x in new hampshire level connected with output. Precisely what I will be stating is that, it can be work, and also I've noticed this change within mental faculties fluidity. I really do certainly not consider I will be a lot more smart, only a lot more smooth, perhaps certainly not wiser through the numerous content articles however better with the initiatives, exploration and also researching necessary to produce my content articles applicable.
Therefore, are generally writers wiser, a lot more smart, or very own minds that are superior in control? This is the query is just not this? I can explain that don't assume all writers are generally while intelligent while they appear, a few get skills down this plus points connected with writing and also of buy 5x refined colibri butane 7x in new hampshire course it's a type of intelligence, however there's a great many folks who compose just like crap who will be generously wiser as compared to 99% from the writers We have at any time achieved. Also, despite the fact that you will find there's little conceit between many of the a lot more well-known writers, not a lot of the notoriety has been attained due to their intelligence.
Composing is often a proficiency, in case you compose to the proverbial 10, 000 a long time you can come to be incredibly great at this and also prolific too, but it really isn't going to allow you to be instantly wiser or maybe more smart -- bear in mind your brain is like a muscles; utilize it or buy 5x refined colibri butane 7x in new hampshire eliminate this. In the event 1 write's nonsensical blogs, they may also be dummying on their own straight down, it may have a very chilling effect on the brain's control electric power and also all round intelligence. Make sure you consider all this and also believe onto it.

Tennessee Wesleyan men's lacrosse team journeyed to Atlanta GA to go face to face with the Emory Eagles. The Bulldogs battled the majority of the game keeping a one goal lead through the first half but then got a little too comfortable and lowered their guard allowing the eagles to pass them winning the game 11 to 6.
Justin Bell put in three goals for the Bulldogs. Dalton O'Connell had two goals, while Will Munley had one goal and one assist. Ladarius Williams had 2 assists. Brandon Scott was in the goal for the entire game and had 9 saves.

Product Management Agile Open Jam: A Successful Launch
I recently returned from co-hosting the first Product Management Agile Open Jam. What a great experience! Our goal was to "inspire and ignite" the product management community—and from the energy in the space, I'd say we succeeded. To get a glimpse into what it was like, check out these scenes from the 2014 Product Management Festival (PMF) Agile Open Jam in Zurich. Continue reading
Agile Product Management Open Jam
I'm excited about my involvement in the first ever Agile Open Jam specifically for product managers. This unconference within a conference is part of September's Product Management Festival in Zurich and is sponsored by the Agile Alliance. The announcement below, posted by the Product Management Festival team, highlights the event:
9 Things Every Product Manager Should Know about Being an Agile Product Owner
Congratulations. You're now an agile "product owner," the champion for your product. No biggie–you just have ultimate accountability for the health and well-being of your product. You "own" the product vision, deeply and emphatically understanding customer needs, keeping pulse of changing stakeholder values, and making continual decisions on what to build (or not), and when. This is a tall order.
Maybe you came into this work from being a product manager, having been in marketing, customer service, finance, business analysis, engineering, sales, or some other business or technical area. Or perhaps you came into being a product owner directly from one of those roles. You likely understand the aptitudes and aptitudes of a great product manager. Continue reading | 6 Comments
5 Ways to Recognize a Great Product Manager
If you've been a product manager for a few years, you already know what I'm about to say. Product management is a hard job. The most successful product managers share these traits:
- They are well versed in their products
- They stay attuned to their customers
- They can lead and communicate a vision equally well with engineering teams and the c-suite crowd
- They have a knack for sifting through and prioritizing multiple (and often competing) wants and needs
If that's not enough, the best product managers also share a very unique attitude: they are empathic and curious, while balancing a ruthless drive for specificity with a poetic tolerance for ambiguity.
To help make the point that product management is a tough but rewarding job, I wanted to share some factors to look for in a great product manager. Continue reading
Agile 2014: Two Requirements-Focused Sessions You Don't Want to Miss
Are you headed to Agile 2014 this year? We are—and we are eager to introduce audiences there to our unique approach to agile requirements.
You'll find EBG's Nanette Brown and me speaking in the Working with Customers track, as we explore ways to discover a product's quality attributes—things like performance, usability, robustness, and more. EBG's VP of Quality and Delivery Mary Gorman is co-presenting with Terry Weigmann in the Testing and Quality Assurance track on the topic of test analysis and how it enables teams to strengthen and produce higher quality requirements on agile projects.
In this blog post, we want to offer you a sneak peak into these sessions, both in terms of how crucial they are for success with agile and also in regard to why they were chosen for this year's program. Oh, and if you can't make it to Orlando, we'll be tweeting throughout the conference, so follow us (@ellengott, @mbgorman, @nanettebrwn) the week of July 28th! Continue reading
"Do The Right Thing" – PMI® Requirements Management Webinar Recap
Last month I presented a webinar to the PMI® (Project Management Institute) Requirements Management Community of Practice: "Do the Right Thing: Adapting Requirements Practices for Agile and Traditional Projects."
The Requirements Management CoP has grown exponentially and will continue to do so, especially since the PMI recently announced the new Professional in Business Analysis certification (PMI-PBA). This growth was reflected in the full webinar room during the live event. During the webinar, I shared requirements discovery and delivery principles and practices along a gradient from traditional to agile.
As you review the deck, there are some key points to know: Continue reading
Context Counts: Adapt Your Requirements Practices to Fit
Whether you are agile or more traditional, your challenge is the same: In order to remain relevant in today's market, you have to discover and deliver the right thing at the right time. To do this successfully, you need to elicit customer needs and quickly choose from among many competing voices and options to determine what is truly essential and what can wait for a future release. That means selecting the requirements development and management activities that are most effective for your particular situation–whether those practices are in your current toolbox or not.
To understand this mindset shift, it might help to think of requirements activities in terms of the ShuHaRi progression, with a learning stage (shu), a breaking away stage (ha), and a transcendent stage (ri).
Requirements to the Rescue: How the 7 Product Dimensions Saved our eBooks
"Fast, easy, free/cheap…" That's what we heard about publishing an eBook edition of a paper book. After all, people said, how difficult can it be to take a PDF and make it digital? Quite difficult, actually.
Ellen Gottesdiener and I should have anticipated that publishing eBook editions of our paper book Discover To Deliver: Agile Product Planning and Analysis would be a complex endeavor. In our careers, we have been involved in re-platforming software products (applications)–and we've rarely encountered a re-platforming project that is straightforward. Our eBook editions were no exception.
To eBook or Not to eBook
Even before we published the paperback version of Discover To Deliver, folks requested a digital version. We analyzed the profile of our primary readers. Challenges in converting the book's visual language, illustrations, models and examples for a virtual reading audience worried us. Other concerns included the evolving eBook industry, its splintered standards, and the end-product usability issues driven by the increasing variations in devices (tablets, readers, smartphones) on which people access books. Weighing the value proposition of paper vs. digital, we decided to initially go paper. Continue reading | 4 Comments

Acme Juicer Model 6001
Product Rating:
- Product Review (submitted on September 1, 2011):
I love Acme juicers. I've used the same brand for 30 years now. The design doesn't change, and the juicer still uses the same accessories and parts. That's a rare thing nowadays. This is a big and heavy appliance. (Things that last so long should be, really.) Once you put it down, it won't budge. This machine is quieter than others. It takes a while for the basket to reach full speed, but this juicer makes up for that with the extra-large pulp basket, which is perfect if you have big hands. The lid lock on this juicer is better with then any other–the Acme juicer I've owned for several years now has a lid that has been opened and closed 4000 times, and it's still secure.
This juicer will easily produce a couple large glasses (about 2 16-oz glasses) of juice before the pulp container needs to be cleaned. Other reviews claim that the basket is harder to clean then pulp ejectors, but in my experience I have to disagree. The basket isn't slanted, so pulp can't grip the sides, I've never had to use a brush. Water and my hands work fine.
Acme juicers are the standard. Unlike some of the foreign-made juicers that are so popular now, you'll be able to pass this machine on to your children and grandchildren and the parts will still be available. I hope this helps those weighing their options. Compare this one to an Omega!

The action comes at you from all sides in this frantic arcade challenge. Play as a Geon Cube, a six-sided force in an energized grid-shaped environment. Race to snatch up pellets and deposit them in your opponent's goal before they pick them up and drop them in yours! Up to four players can compete at once, stirring up a fast-paced, split-screen frenzy. Use eight different powerballs to outsmart and outmaneuver your opponents. For example, the Rage ball traps or blocks your opponent with spikes, and the Greed ball gobbles up pellets. Each ball will alter the course of the game, so use them wisely.

We like the game, and will keep it. It offers multiple levels and play modes. It's quite fun with multiple players, and there are plenty of boards to try. Not sure why someone thought it got stale quickly-- perhaps play with a friend or unlock some of the many challenging boards?more

When people think of getting a great view of the Tokyo, many come up with places like Tokyo Tower or Tokyo Skytree. Well, another great place is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, which is very close to Shinjuku station and offers some great views of the city. Not quite as high as the other two, it is still a great place to visit. And best of all it is completely free to enter.
The building has two observation decks, one in the north tower and the other in the south tower, on the 45th floors. In my opinion though, the south tower has the better views of Tokyo. There is so much to see. During the day you can see miles and miles of interesting stuff and at night the neon casts a different light on the city. And if you are really lucky with the weather, the sunsets can just give an amazing spectacular finish to the day.
So if you are after some great views of Tokyo, this is one of the best places to go, especially as it is completely FREE!
YouTube video
What can you see from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building?
I'm only going to cover the south tower here, as I think it is really the best of the two. The list of things that you can see from 45th floor is very good and here is a partial list:
1. Tokyo Tower
2. Sky Tree
3. Roppongi Hills
4. Yoyogi park (with Meiji shrine)
6. the skyscrapers of Nishi-Shinjuku
7. the NTT building in Yoyogi
8. Mt. Fuji (when the weather is fine)
9. If you have pretty good eyes, you`ll also be able to see distant Yokohama
10. Tokyo Bay
What's good about the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building?
1. It's located very close to Shinjuku station, one of the major transport hubs in Tokyo, so it is extremely easy to get to;
2. you can all the important things in the city;
3. on a fine day, you could end thinking that you really saved some money by going there. It's forty-five floors up and that is pretty high. High enough to get great views. Some might argue, that if you can get views this good for free, why go anywhere else?
4. best of all it is completely free! It is completely free!
And what's not so good…?
1. Just my opinion, but I think the view from the north tower is just boring. For the most part you'll just be looking over the residential areas of the city;
2. the windows could be a little wider in a few places. For those who've tried looking at a Mount Fuji sunset will know what I'm talking about. With so many people crowded around the windows it's a bit difficult to get a view
3. there is a security check before you get in the elevator. So that can extend the wait for elevators occasionally;
4. only bad for photographers – no tripods allowed.
Admission costs
Admission is free.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is located in Nishi-Shinjuku, about a 10 minute leisurely walk from Shinjuku station. It is of the major train terminals in Tokyo, with the Yamanote, Chuo, Keio, Sobu, Odakyu and Marunouchi lines all going there.
The Oedo subway line has a station right next to the building as well named, "Tochomae", from which you use exit number 4.
Here is a Google Map to give you some help:
View From Shinjuku station to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office building in a larger map
Opening times:
The North Observatory is open from 9:30am till 11:00pm (last entry is 10:30pm), while the South Observation deck closes at 5:30pm (but is open until 11pm when the North Observation deck is closed).
The South Observatory is closed the first and third Tuesday of every month but the North Observatory is closed on the second and fourth Monday of every month.
If one those days listed above falls on a holiday, the observatory will be open but closed the following day.
The observatories are closed over the New Year's holiday season (29-31 December and 2-3 January). However they are open on January 1!!
Best time to go
The cooler months are definitely the best times to go, especially during the mornings if you want to get a good view of Mt. Fuji. Summer is okay, however the views are definitely not as good as the air is not as clear. Another good time is sunset – if the air is clear those sunsets can look really great.

A very brief history of Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building
Also known as Tokyo City Hall or Tocho, it was completed in 1991 at the cost of approximately $1 billion. Designed by the renowned Kenzo Tange (1913-2005) to look like a computer chip. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is actually three buildings on the one site (the no. 1 building houses the observations decks, there is also the no. 2 building and the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly Building). It governs not only the twenty-three wards, but also the cities, towns and villages that make up the metropolis.
Tocho held the title of Tokyo`s tallest building (at 243 meters or 799 feet) from 1991 to late 2006 when Midtown Tower in Roppongi was completed.
Final words
Also available are handsets (with earphone) that explain many of the landmarks that can be seen from the observation deck. As you move around the floor you will see maps above the windows. Move under the map, and the handset will automatically tell you what can be seen and any associated details. The languages available are English, Chinese, Korean and of course Japanese. To obtain a handset you will need to produce some identification.
There are also cafes in both towers, which are nice places to refresh yourself while enjoying a light meal or something to drink (and the prices are very reasonable). The cafe in the North tower operates as a bar at night with the last order at 10pm.
So if you are after some great views, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is is one of the best places to go, especially as it is completely FREE!
You can see the the building's homepage for the observation deck's here (<— the English website is currently appears to be down).

Editor's Note: Welcome to our new Summer Series of posts, If I Owned An MLL Team, where different people will create a hypothetical franchise in Major League Lacrosse. Some posts will cover one aspect of creating a franchise, while others will lay out the full plan in one fell swoop.
The first post in the Series came from Connor Wilson, where he picked his team's location and name. Now it's on to the gear… helmets, gloves, uniforms and a custom head. Let's get professional with CW.
In my first post, I decided on locating my MLL team in Brooklyn, and our team name would be the Union. I go into a lot more detail on how this could happen, and why I chose the name I did in my earlier post.
I went with history for the name, and would love to do the same with our team colors and gear, but Brooklyn's traditional colors of blue and gold are already being used by an MLL franchise: the Charlotte Hounds. This means I've got start from scratch.
I still like the idea of bringing history into our team and I can't think of a much more visible way to honor the Native Americans and the Creator, than by using Purple, Gold and Black (with some white thrown in) as my franchise's colors. In all the materials we ever hand out, a little blurb would be included about our color scheme, and it would always remind people about the roots of the game. In a melting pot like Brooklyn, I think this cultural nod would be appreciated.
So without further delay, let me unveil the Brooklyn Union's MLL Uniforms:
The Gloves
The Helmet
The Uniforms
Lacrosse Head Of Choice
The color scheme definitely works. The Iroquois Nationals are always some of the best dressed, and the Lakers make this color scheme fly in LA. Minnesota in the NFL just never uses enough yellow, but that's their fault. It's a great palette. The team could do Yellow uniforms at home, and black on the road. And then use purple for special games, or the playoffs.
The black helmets and gloves would go with anything, and when it comes to having a logo, I'd love to see something circular, that resembles a Union Seal, but incorporates our franchise's core beliefs, along with the guiding principles of lacrosse. It's not flashy (the yellow takes care of that!), or over the top, but it's just audacious enough to get people interested.
Think you can do better outfitting an MLL team or coming up with one from scratch? Email your submissions in to email@example.com and we'll post the best ones all Summer long.

Book Fair Resolution: Sign Up for a Spring Workshop
With the bustle of the holidays behind us and winter weariness settling in, now is the perfect time to warm up to the idea of spring. A spring workshop, that is! Attending a
spring workshop
can energize and inspire you to plan a successful Book Fair Luau reading celebration.
Workshops prove beneficial to new chairpeople and veterans alike. Michele Janney, a first- time Book Fair chairperson at Cherrington Elementary School in Westerville, Ohio, started out being a bit uncertain but evolved into a Book Fair Chair Extraordinaire, according to Book Fair field representative Kie Seiple, after Michele attended a
that gave her a head full of ideas.
Her Eyes Lit Up With Excitement
Michele sheepishly admits that she almost didnt attend the workshop: But then I realized that I had to do something and that maybe I would meet some people. When she arrived, she found many of the attendees had five or six years of experience and yet were on fire about what Kie would show them at the
And no one was disappointed least of all Michele. Kie took everyone through the online chairpersons Toolkit, as well as through the
School Resource Catalog
, showcasing all of the exciting new products available. Fellow attendees shared their ideas and successes. Inspiration was born.
Kie watched as Micheles eyes lit up with excitement. She was like a sponge and absorbed all the ideas that were shared by me and all the other chairpersons at the

It was a defining moment for Michele. The workshop was super-helpful because I wouldnt have had a clue about how to decorate or how to include the kids. We pretty much did everything in your book, she laughs. After leaving the
, I felt more than capable of running a Book Fair.
By everything, Michele is referring to a big rocket in the schools front hallway, themed bulletin boards, door decorations, an alien photo area, guessing games, Classroom Wish List, One for Books, and a Family Reading Night with grandparents, among other ideas. To promote the Fair, Michele used emails, letters, and social networking.
Her results were measurable: The Fair generated $4,300, about $500 more than the total from the previous year.
