The Moves iPhone App tells you how much you move (or not). Moves automatically records any walking, cycling and running you do. The app is always on, so there's no need to start and stop it. Love it!
While visiting NYC last week, Christoph Niemann stopped by Studiomates and I got to see his brand new kids iPhone/iPad app called Petting Zoo. At the time he had just submitted it to the App Store, but it is live now! YES!
Interacting with Petting Zoo made me laugh, squeal and giggle. Yes, it's *that* much fun to play with. Trust me, download it, and laugh away with your little ones (or alone). I can't wait to show this to Tilo tonight!
If typography were a religion, FontBook would be the Bible. So, folks, no more excuses for boring typography: FontBook 3.0 is now a universal app and costs a mere $0.99. YES!
Amplifiear is brilliant in its simplicity, a simple solution to the iPad's rear facing (and weak) speakers.
The iPhone Cable Trigger is a remote shutter release for iDevices. Handy for those times when you want to take a photo without touching your phone, and for starting and stopping video sans camera-shake.
Palm Top Theater transforms your iPhone into your own personal 3D theater. Fun!
I had the honor to sit next to Ping Fu at last night's Cooper Hewitt National Design Awards Gala and she handed me a an absolutely amazing 3D printed iPhone Case by Freshfiber. I put it on my iPhone and have been fiddling with it nonstop since. The interlinked rings create an incredibly fascinating texture. The rings move seperately from each other so you can jiggle them.
The case was designed by Janne Kyttanen and you can buy it and lots of other cool 3D printed designs over at Freshfiber.
Bobine is an iPhone cable that also acts as a flexible tripod. Brilliant.
Maily is an email app for little kids that let's them draw/write a message and then send it to a selected group of family members and friends. Cute idea. And most of all, the name Maily makes me smile.
Going somewhere where you won't find any outlets? This pocket solar charger (site is in German) might come to the resque. Nifty.
The SlingShot is a sweet looking stabilizing grip for your phone that also folds out into a tripod. No doubt, MacGyver would probably use it.
Ever notice that your smartphone dies JUST when you need it most? Everpurse is about to solve that problem, elegantly: To charge, all you have to do is slip your phone into the special charging pocket inside the purse! Whether you're at work or out on the town, your Everpurse will keep your phone charged all day long. You can carry your Everpurse inside a bigger bag, or by itself. When you get home, simply drop your Everpurse on the white charging mat for wireless charging!
I am totally backing this Kickstarter. Congrats to the Everpurse folks for a wonderful idea and a beautifully designed execution!
(thanks Rusty)
I recently got myself the STM Grip iPad Case. It is fairly slim and comes with two kickstand settings for typing and viewing. My iPad feels well protected from my rambunctious 2 year old, so I'd say mission accomplished. Two swissmiss thumbs up.
(If you're looking for an extra fun kids proof iPad case, there's no better one than the iGuy)
I am so happy to have discovered Pixable: It aggregates photos and videos shared by my friends on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Think of it as your unified photo inbox.
I admit, the only reason why I log into Facebook is to look at my friend's photos, but I really don't like the experience. Pixable fixes that for me. Their iPhone App is now part of my daily routine. No more login into Facebook. Yay!
(Thank you Oz)

I like to travel. Last January my daughter got married in Thailand. We had Elephants, Monks, Monkeys, Music, Fireworks, Sky Lanters, Entertainment and plenty of Exotic Food . Thailand is fun except the minvan drivers are more dangerous than tigers on steroids and if you trash talk the Royal Family, they make shish kebab out of you. I spent last month on Oahu. I saw some great surfing on the North Shore at the Banzai Pipeline Masters and did some myself at Diamondhead. I also went to Pearl Harbor on Dec 7 and visited with several survivors of that dreadful day. My calendar is generally open. I am very easy going, non-confrontational and a pretty good listener. I guess you would say I am retired, but I do pursue some passions and hobbies with monetary goals. Laid back, but " passively aggressive" would be a good description of me. Lifestyle: sip cocktails at sunset, wake up to sunrises, play chess, backgammon, risk, watch movies, agree with, disagree with, but go to bed happy. My goal: seamlessly integrate your live with a partner and appreciate what that person values. Me in a nutshell…. I traded bonds and commodities on Wall Street and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. I threw snowballs at Soldier field watching the Bears and melted in the summer sun catching the Cubbies at Wrigley field. I've been to Rose Bowls, Super Bowls, Sugar Bowls and the Hollywood Bowl with Burt Bacharach. I won the Daily Double at a race track in Rio de Janerio, Brazil thanks to a local tipster. I was heavily invested when the market tanked almost 700 points so I went and played golf. I am a risk taker and I make mistakes....but that's part of life. I escaped an alligator's jaws while playing golf in Ixtapa Mexico. I've gone scuba diving with turtles in Cozumel, hunted for sunken treasures at a shipwreck at Peter Island, gotten claustrophobia while reef diving in the Bahamas. I was an extra on the set of "Lost" while vacationing in Hawaii. I wore lederhosen one summer and rode a bike 1500 miles across Europe while eating cheese fondue, soufflés and drinking wine. I dined on flaming crepes at the base of Innsbruck, Chamonix and Zermatt. I visited the eerie gas chambers of Dacha and choked up. I've skied Squaw Valley, Sun Valley and Deer Valley and other valleys I can't remember…I've taken romantic champagne seaplane rides over San Francisco at sunset and glider rides in Santa Rosa....enough already ! I bought a house in a golf community in Temecula... after the market crashed. Golf is all that ties me to the area now...

Samaritan Medical Center is pleased to announce the introduction of its new Lymphedema Therapy Program. Roxann Shelor, a physical therapist and certified lymphedema therapist (CLT) at Samaritan Medical Center, is now providing Complete Decongestive Therapy treatment and education for patients with or at risk for lymphedema. As lymphedema is frequently a complication of cancer treatment, Ms. Shelor's training and certification was funded through the Samaritan Medical Center Foundation of Northern New York with monies raised by the Samaritan Circle of Hope Cancer Awareness Fund. This fund allocates money to improve the health and well-being of cancer patients throughout Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence Counties.
To introduce this new service to the community, Samaritan will hold an educational Open House event on Thursday, January 29th in the Carman Conference Room at Samaritan Medical Center, 830 Washington Street in Watertown. The event will begin at 6:00 p.m and is free and open to the public. Speakers will include Ms. Shelor and breast surgeon Dr. Deborah Norris. In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled to February 5th.
Lymphedema is an abnormal build-up of fluid that causes swelling and discomfort - most often in the arms or legs. Lymphedema is caused by a blockage in the body's lymphatic system, an important part of the immune and circulatory systems. The blockage prevents lymph fluid from draining well, and as the fluid builds up, the swelling continues. Although lymphedema is most commonly known as a complication of breast cancer treatment, it can also result from treating many other types of cancer, including head and neck, lymphoma, melanoma, ovarian, prostate and uterine - anywhere that lymph nodes are removed or damaged by radiation, chemotherapy or surgery. And lymphedema does not solely affect cancer survivors. Other causes include infection, obesity, venous insufficiency, and trauma, or being born with a faulty lymphatic system.
"The goal of lymphedema therapy is to restore function, reduce physical discomfort and prevent the development of infection," Ms. Shelor explains. "The treatment is aimed at improving lymphedema with manual lymphatic drainage (massage), therapeutic exercise, special compression bandaging, skin care and education in self-management techniques."
"This is a much needed service for the women and men in our community, and I'm proud that we're now able to offer it," Ms. Shelor adds. "Previously patients had to travel out of town for therapy – often as far away as Syracuse. With a combination of treatment and education, we're helping those who are suffering take control of their lymphedema and improve their quality of life."

Watertown, NY – The surgical team at Samaritan Medical Center is proud to provide patients with the most minimally invasive surgical options, including a Single-Site hysterectomy procedure using the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System. During a da Vinci Single-Site hysterectomy the patient's uterus is removed through one tiny incision in the belly button, and it's what you don't see that is so impressive – the procedure is virtually scarless.
"This is an exciting addition to the capabilities that robotic surgery gives to surgeons and the benefits it provides for their patients," says Walter Dodard, DO, an OB/GYN at Comprehensive Women's Health Services, PLLC in Watertown. "With robotic surgery, we're able to make smaller incisions so there's less blood loss during surgery and fewer complications. Patients have less pain and typically go home in 24 hours or less." Dr. Dodard performed the region's first Single-Site hysterectomy in September at Samaritan Medical Center. He is currently the only surgeon in the area trained to perform this advanced procedure.
"The single-site approach takes the many benefits of robotic surgery a step further by reducing the number of incisions from four to one," adds Dr. Dodard. "This is much more than a cosmetic improvement for the patient. Since there are fewer incisions, there is less discomfort and a shorter recovery time. For patients, especially busy women, it means they can resume their normal lives and day-to-day activities more quickly. "
Hysterectomy is the second most common surgical procedure for women in the United States. An estimated one-third of all women will have a hysterectomy by age 60, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The procedure is recommended for a number of medical reasons, including abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroid tumors, endometriosis, cancer and chronic pelvic pain. Many women who require a hysterectomy are candidates for the da Vinci robotic-assisted, Single-Site surgery.
Samaritan Medical Center utilizes the da Vinci robotic surgical system for certain gynecologic, urologic, and general surgery procedures. For more information on robotic surgeries at Samaritan Medical Center, visit samaritanhealth.com/davinci.

On Friday, October 24, 2014, Thousand Islands Winery hosted Oooh Ta Ta, a night of indulgence and support. Leading up to this event, as part of the month-long National Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, Thousand Islands Winery sold select "pink" merchandise and wines and Tasting Room donor cards at its facility.
In keeping with the mission of the National Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, the Winery created Oooh Ta Ta, an event designed to offer North Country women an opportunity to have some fun with friends while raising awareness and funds to support area women during their battle with Breast Cancer. The night's activities included VIP wine tastings, shoe and wine pairings presented by handsome tuxedo-clad men, a fashion show, a silent auction, mini salon services including pink hair extensions and Breast Cancer nail decals, shopping opportunities with 13 "vendors of indulgence", finger foods and door prizes. Guests were encouraged to wear their best little black dress or party dress and most fabulous shoes.
The funds raised from this event and a month-long Winery drive were donated to the Samaritan Circle of Hope Awareness Fund. The mission of the Samaritan Circle of Hope Cancer Awareness Fund is to raise funds and allocate those funds toward improving the health and well-being of all cancer patients throughout Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties. The funds raised through theses efforts will be earmarked specifically for Breast Cancer support in honor of October's National Breast Cancer Awareness campaign.
What could be better than wine, shoes and eye candy for a cause? Nothing!

Michael Folsom, Director of Marketing and Communications at the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton NY presented members of the Samaritan Circle of Hope Cancer Committee with a check for $216. The money was raised through donations during the ABM Goes Pink campaign which was held in October. The Antique Boat Museum also hosted a breast cancer survivor for a relaxing cruise on the St. Lawrence Rive
The Samaritan Auxiliary purchased state-of-the art medical equipment called the Arctic Sun Temperature Management System for Samaritan Medical Center, with monies raised from their signature event, One Night, One Diamond, held in March of 2014 - a donation of $42,563 was made to purchase this equipment. The Arctic Sun has been utilized in Samaritan Medical Center's Emergency Department (ED) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) since 2010, but due to the frequency of use, SMC identified the need for a second unit and the Auxiliary was pleased to fund this initiative.
The Arctic Sun is a non-invasive temperature management system which can cool the body's core temperature to as low as 33 degrees. In the case of a cardiac arrest or stroke, lowering the body temperature can help to slow the metabolism which leads to positive outcomes and less risk of brain injury. The equipment circulates chilled water through pads that are adhered to the patient's skin. The Samaritan Auxiliary is pleased to be able to support our patients with life-saving equipment. In the right-hand picture is Dr. David Rechlin (Pulmonology Associates), Renee Waterbury (Samaritan Auxiliary Board President) and Mr. Tom Carman (Samaritan President & CEO). The center picture is Dr. Maja Lundborg-Gray (North Country Emergency Medical Consultants), Kim Smith (Nurse Manager of the ICU) and Jane Schmitt (Volunteer Services) and the right-hand picture is a picture of the equipment.

Cape Vincent, NY — The Samaritan Family Health Center at Cape Vincent wants you to stay healthy this flu season. That's why the Family Health Center is offering an adult Flu Shot Clinic on Wednesday, November 26th from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. Appointments are not needed, and you do not need to be an established patient at the Samaritan Family Health Center at Cape Vincent to receive a flu shot. Your insurance will be billed for this service.
Seasonal flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and lungs. It spreads from person-to-person and can cause mild to severe illness. Seasonal flu symptoms may include fever, coughing, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, headaches, body aches, chills and fatigue.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting yourself against seasonal flu. The flu vaccine is updated every year to combat the flu viruses that research indicates are most likely to cause illness during the upcoming season.
The CDC recommends seasonal flu shots for everyone six months and older. The annual flu vaccine is particularly important for those who are most likely to develop serious and potentially fatal complications from the flu, including anyone 65 or older; people with medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes and chronic lung disease; pregnant women; and those who live with or provide care for these individuals. There are also some people who should not get a flu vaccine without first consulting a physician. They include: people who have a severe allergy to eggs; people who have previously had a severe reaction to an influenza vaccination; and people who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) within six weeks of getting an influenza vaccine. In addition, people who have a moderate-to-severe illness should wait until they recover to have the flu shot.
For more information on the Flu Shot Clinic, please contact the Samaritan Family Health Center at Cape Vincent at 315-654-2530.
Watertown, NY ----- During the annual three-day Radiothon, presented by Community Broadcasters, hosts Johnny Spezzano, The Border 106.7, and Lance Hale, 94 Rock, raised a grand total of $129,518 for Children's Miracle Network of Northern New York. Every dollar raised will help children and families facing a medical crisis in Jefferson, St. Lawrence, and Lewis counties.
Each year, the Radiothon provides a unique opportunity to share the stories of many families in our community and how they have been helped by the funds raised through Children's Miracle Network. Radio reaches listeners in a direct way allowing them to understand the challenges that so many of our neighbors face. Throughout the Radiothon broadcast, the hosts conduct on-air interviews with local families, play recorded interview montages, and educate listeners about Children's Miracle Network. The majority of funds raised during this event are raised $10 or $20 at a time. "Over the course of the three days, it becomes very evident that the North Country is incredibly giving and the event as a whole brings members of our community together to make a difference," says host Johnny Spezzano.
Children's Miracle Network Hospitals is a non-profit organization that raises money and awareness for its 170 member hospitals, including Samaritan Medical Center. All contributions to Children's Miracle Network of Northern New York at Samaritan benefit children in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties by helping to purchase medical equipment for Samaritan and other hospitals located in the tri-county region. In addition, Children's Miracle Network of Northern New York at Samaritan is one of only five hospitals that provide direct assistance to families with children in a medical crisis.

November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and to help bring awareness of this disease to a heightened level, Samaritan Medical Center and the Samaritan Circle of Hope Cancer Awareness Committee will host a second annual "Shine a Light on Lung Cancer" event on November 6th. Any community member who has been touched by lung cancer is invited to attend this free event, which will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the Samaritan Healing Garden Rotunda.
"Shine a Light on Lung Cancer" is part of a national campaign sponsored by the Lung Cancer Alliance. This year more than 200 communities across the country will participate in the event, which is designed to provide hope, support and compassion to the thousands who are diagnosed with lung cancer.
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and in New York. It takes the lives of twice as many women as breast cancer and three times as many men as prostate cancer. While a history of smoking is the main risk factor for developing lung cancer, nearly 80% of those diagnosed today have never smoked or are former smokers who quit decades ago.
Early detection is the best hope for fighting lung cancer. However, because lung cancer has no symptoms in its early stages, more than 85% of people who are diagnosed today are diagnosed in a late stage, after symptoms occur and when there is very little chance of a cure. Recent studies have proven however that a low-dose computed tomography (CT) scan can find 85% of lung cancers in their earliest, most curable stage. Samaritan Medical Center offers this service to people at high risk for lung cancer through its Early Detection Lung Cancer Screening Program.
The Samaritan Shine a Light on Lung Cancer event will feature Bonnie Trudeau, RN, Samaritan Oncology Nurse Navigator and Early Lung Cancer Screening Program Coordinator, as emcee. Dr. Rory Sears, a pulmonologist with Pulmonary Associates in Watertown, will be the guest speaker for the evening.
About the Samaritan Circle of Hope Cancer Awareness Committee
The Samaritan Circle of Hope Cancer Awareness Committee raises awareness and funds to help to improve the health and well-being of all cancer patients throughout Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties.
About Lung Cancer Alliance

Samaritan Medical Center is pleased to announce that its radiation oncology program has received a three-year accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR). Samaritan is the only hospital in Jefferson County with an ACR-accredited radiation oncology program, and one of only two hospitals in the North Country.
Radiation oncology (radiation therapy) is the careful use of high energy x-rays to treat cancer. Radiation therapy affects cancer cells only in the treated area and is sometimes used in combination with other cancer treatments, including surgery and/or chemotherapy.
"Samaritan is dedicated to providing the highest level of patient-centered medical care for our community," states Randy Fipps, Assistant Vice President, Operations and Behavioral Health Services for Samaritan Medical Center. "We're proud to be recognized by the ACR. This accomplishment truly reflects the hard work and devotion to excellence in cancer care demonstrated by our entire team in radiation oncology."
In order to receive this ACR accreditation, Samaritan's personnel, equipment, treatment planning and treatment records, as well as patient safety policies, quality control procedures and quality assurance activities underwent a rigorous on-site peer-review evaluation by a board-certified radiation oncologist and a medical physicist, both of whom are experts in the field.
The ACR is the nation's oldest and most widely accepted radiation oncology accrediting body, with nearly 500 accredited sites, and 25 years of accreditation experience. The ACR seal of accreditation represents the highest level of quality and patient safety.
Daniel S. DeBlasio, MD, a board-certified radiation oncologist on staff at Samaritan Medical Center, says it is important for patients to understand that they are receiving the best cancer care possible. "With a cancer diagnosis, being able to receive care locally is an integral part of the healing process," says Dr. DeBlasio. "It reduces stress on the patient, as well as on family members and friends who are providing support. For our patients and our community, this recognition by the ACR provides confirmation of the excellent services we provide at Samaritan. It also gives our patients that extra measure of security and confidence that they are receiving the best cancer care right here, close to home. Our patients can be assured that they are receiving the same level of high quality care they would expect from a larger academic facility, but locally, surrounded by the compassionate encouragement of their family and friends. It's the best possible scenario."

First Mercury Hg Trailer is Slippery
Written Monday, September 26, 2011 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Check out the first trailer for UTV Ignition's Mercury Hg.
It's an XBLA game in which you control a blob of mercury, attempting to steer it through 60 different colourful levels. It's not going to win any beauty pageants, that's for sure, but with an intriguing gameplay conceit and a dynamic soundtrack that reacts to what's going on on-screen, it may just be worth a look. Plus it's only 400 MSP. You can't go too far wrong. Right?
Mercury Hg hits XBLA on 28th September 2011.

Quail Creek Crossing expanding; announces addition of 3 new retailers
Paul Blackburn of Blackburn Properties, headquartered in San Antonio, Wednesday morning announced that construction of Phase II of Quail Creek Crossing shopping center will begin this week and that three new businesses — Kirkland's, Coldwater Creek and Charming Charlie — will be among the first tenants to locate in the expansion.
He also said that Men's Wearhouse Tuxedo, located next to David's Bridal in the shopping center, will become a "full blown" Men's Wearhouse and be expanded by 4,900 square feet, bring the size of the store to 9,800 sqaure feet. Tenant construction is expected to begin in July.
The second and final phase of the shopping center will be 56,000 square feet. Andy Lee of Andy Lee Co., project manager/leasing agent, said it will begin next to PetSmart and will wrap around to Academy Sports and Outdoors. Blackburn and Lee said the project should be completed prior to Christmas — and bring some 80 new retail jobs to Wichita Falls.
Lee anticipates $25 million annually in additional retail sales and tax revenues when the project is completed and the stores are in operation.
"We have concentrated on the retail sales leakage in Wichita Falls in the last five years, securing national tenants to fill the gap. Our new lineup of tenants requires a tremendous investment in upscale design storefronts, which is a key element in locating to Wichita Falls. The city benefits threefold — increased property tax base, increase in retail sales tax collection, and 80 new retail permanent jobs," Lee said.
Metro Construction of San Antonio will be the general contractor. Lee said 75 percent of the subcontractors are located in Wichita Falls. Mark Neville of Villa Park Architects, San Antonio, designed the plans.
Lee said the three new businesses will occupy about 40 percent of the space and that the shopping center will be able to accommodate five additional retail outlets.
"We are working on more (tenants) and just waiting for leases to be signed," Lee said.
Lee said Kirkland's, a specialty retailer of home decor, operating 287 stores in 28 states. Coldwater Creek is a specialty retailer of women's apparel and gifts, jewelry and accessories. It is headquartered in Sandpoint, Idaho. Charming Charlie, founded in Houston in 2004, is a women's fashion accessories and women's handbag retailer that offers "trendy" jewelry. Men's Wearhouse, founded in 1973, is one of largest retailers in the U.S. specializing on men's apparel. It has more than 1,230 stores.

Developed non-U.S. stock markets posted excellent gains in local currency terms and, despite the persistently appreciating U.S. dollar, generated good results in dollar terms for U.S.-based investors. An appreciating dollar detracts from the returns for U.S.-based investors in non-U.S. local currency-denominated securities. In general, growth-focused sectors, including health care, information technology, and consumer discretionary, outperformed value-oriented segments. In the benchmark, the utilities and energy sectors declined and the telecommunication services segment lagged. Across the emerging markets universe, Asian stocks generated a solid return; the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region recorded a more modest advance; and Latin American stocks posted losses.
The International Stock Fund returned 6.34% in the quarter compared with 3.59% for the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA and 4.69% for the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2015, the fund returned 4.69% versus −0.57% for the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA and −0.17% for the Lipper International Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average. The fund's average annual total returns were 4.69%, 6.75%, and 6.04% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2015. The fund's expense ratio was 0.83% as of its fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.
Benchmark Definitions
Stock selection was the primary driver of the portfolio's strong relative performance, especially in consumer staples, financials, and industrials and business services. We look to own companies that are adept at generating free cash flow, revenues, and earnings growth. Our overweight allocation to the consumer discretionary sector and an underweight to energy also contributed to relative returns. We remain committed to our consumer discretionary holdings (our largest overweight allocation) because of their above-average growth potential. We also have a large overweight to the information technology sector, although stock selection in technology detracted from relative results in the quarter. We are significantly underweight to financials, although it remained the largest sector allocation at 19% of the portfolio. While all of the portfolio's sectors posted positive returns, telecommunication services underperformed due to stock selection.
We remain optimistic about the environment for non-U.S. equities in the intermediate and longer terms, but lackluster economic growth in Europe, Japan, and several major emerging markets are potential near-term headwinds. Although some individual stocks and sectors appear to be richly priced, our bottom-up stock selection process is uncovering companies with favorable risk/reward characteristics. Overall, European earnings growth has slowly improved, as the European Central Bank's quantitative easing program and euro weakness are helping to draw out positive glimmers in the economic data. However, Europe's ability to implement structural reforms that improve long-term growth prospects remains uncertain. In Japan, we believe domestic consumption and wage inflation need to be the next growth engines for a sustained recovery. Emerging markets returns have been reflective of underlying fundamentals at the stock and country level, which in our view, is a positive and overdue development.

Enjoying the good life!!!
I would describe myself as a constant learner. I love languages and learning about different cultures. I am a foodie and when it comes to Japanese food, I am a snob. There is only one Japanese restaurant in South Florida that I like, and it is in South Miami. So, a little bit of a drive for me, but well worth it. I am currently studying acting, more Spanish, more Japanese, and some computer stuff to make me better at what I do. What I do want to learn is how to dance Salsa, the Argentine tango, and maybe some others... I love adventure, I want to go skydiving in the keys, get my motorcycle license, travel to new places, experience new things altogether. What i am looking for in someone is, someone who is well educated, honest, and takes care of themselves. Not too needy with an independent side. Someone who likes to travel and enjoys a night in every now and then.
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Golf, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses
Tokyo, Paris, NYC, San Francisco, San Diego. Want to visit Eastern Europe and Hong Kong...
Espressos!!! Movies, traveling and watching sports.
Hanging out with friends and family. Seeing movies and going to the beach.
I read a lot of technical books on programming, databases, etc. I loved 'The Da Vinci Code' and working on 'The Secret Garden'.

text: When we first started to discuss this project it was borne out of the lack of quality scanned images have. So to scan them now is actually going backwards. That, said I suppose that when the portfolio has all 20 prints it would be good to have a locked gallery where nobody can upload or download the images. This would be good for the purpose of discussion and for members who did not participate to get an idea of the diversity of the work. At the momnet I would not want the image I sent scanned, merely because I would want to keep some kind of control on how the image looks.

"Canuckmike's Palau Page" Top 5 Page for this destination Palau by canuckmike
Palau Travel Guide: 304 reviews and 628 photos
Quite simply one of the most amazing countries that I have been to. I just simply loved it. Located at the westren edge of Micronesia it is a tiny nation of 458 square km and just 20,000 people, gaining it's independence in October 1994. It is most famous for the Rock Islands which magnificent balls of green just sticking out of the ocean and for the amazing diving in the surrounding waters. But it much more than that. Babeldaob the island that has most of Palau's land sees hardly any tourists. Peleliu island is a living museum of World War 2 with all the wreckage still surviving. And the people. Honestly some of the best I have ever met. There is no beggars on the street, no one trying to seperate you from your money and always ready to give a helping hand. Palau is one place I am definatly going back to in the near future.
- Pros:Amazing
- Cons:American dollar makes things pricey

I had no idea Palau's national currency is the US Dollar. This is good to know.
HI! I will be in Palau in April...Im looking for some info for planning...and possibly a local guide (with pay). Any help? ALSO...can I go to Jellyfish lake on my own or must be with guide??? THANK YOU email@example.com
It's been about 7 years since I have been so I don't remember too much. For a guide, a man by the name of Tangie seems to know everything about the island of Peleliu. I'm sure you can easily find him by just asking around in Koror. With Jellyfish Lake, I got there by going diving and the divemaster went there for a side trip.
Thanks mate for a great page; just grabbing ideas on what to expect....
Great introduction to Palau. Hope one day I can swim (scuba) with the manta rays at German Channel.
Very nice pages on Palau!! WOW!! Beautiful pictures!!
Very informative pages about Palau! Succinct and to the point. But you went to Palau to eat sushi? Guess Palauan food is not your cup of tea... Hehe ;-)
Mike, a really excellent page on Palau! Your photos and descriptions of Ngardman Falls, the German Lighthouse, RockIsland and the megalithic site are amazing. Great to hear that South Pacific hospitality is still going strong!
Good pages, Mike. Seems nobody has a basd word to say about Palau. One for the wishlist!
Damn fine photos of an interesting place. Thanks for the tip!!

Porta Soprana and Columbus House, Genoa
13 Reviews
13 Reviews
They say this ruins are all what was remain from the home of Cristoforo Colombo! According to the rumoures Columbus' father may have been employed as the gatekeeper of the nearby Porta Soprana. I am sorry dear Tourist Board of Genova but that story sounds to me as phantasmagoria.
As far as I have learn about the history, in the Medieval times only churches, convents or monasteries were built close to the external parts of the city walls. What use the town could have had of a gatekeeper who sleeps outside the city walls?
The monastery of Sant'Andrea was built in the beginning of the 12th century. It used to stand on the hill with the same name, right beside the Porta Soprano. This cloister, built in the early Gothic style, used to be the part of the complex of the church Sant'Andrea that was later destroyed.
This cloister was laying abandoned in the church of San Agostino but then was brought and placed in its present location in 1022.
Porta Soprana is the main gate of the Old Town, located in Piazza Dante, few metres from Piazza de Ferrari. It was once the southern gate of the town and was built up in 1155 on the vestiges of the 9th-century wall (Mura del Barbarossa) and it has been restored several times since the end of the last century.
You can climb up one the 2 towers to have a great view of the old and new Genova.
Close to the Porta Soprana there is the (supposed) House of Columbus... don't waste your time there, Columbus never even saw that house, it's only a tourist trap, even if it's rather nice! ;-)
These two impressive towers were part of defensive walls that were surrounding the whole city.
During the French revolution the guillotine was kept here, and one of hangman's used to live on top of one tower.
The view from the top of both towers is nice, you can see rooftops with small gardens on terraces.
Perhaps Marco Polo had a similar view, through the prison window, after loosing the battle between Venetia and Genoa which took place near Korcula island on the Adriatic.
During its long history, at least since 9th century, Genova had been defended by the walls. Large positions of these walls remain to the present time and Genova has more and longer walls than any other Italian town. The parts of these walls are known by the different names, mostly after the period of its construction.
Mura Nuove, from the 17th century, are the most imposing having length of almost 20 kilometres.
Porta Soprana is the best known gate in the ancient Genova city walls, built in the 12th century as a part of the Mura Barbarossa.
In 1155, the Barbarossa defensive walls were extended to give more protection of Genoa, and it was at this time, at the top of St. Andrew hill, the Porta Soprana was built. The pair of medieval towers are said to be the most well known landmark of Genoa. I could just see cloister's behind the gate which belonged to a 12th century Convent.
There used to be three main gates, each with high semicircular towers. Only two can be seen today, "Porta Soprana" and "Porta dei Vacca," the third one, the Porta Aurea was completely demolished.
The wall was buillt to defend Genoa from the the attack by Emperor Frederick 1. Restoration works was carried out in the 20th century. If you observed the walls carefully, you can see the difference in the building materials. Walking through the gates and on its pathway gives u a feel of walking in an old castle but a few more steps you will reach the city that destroy the castles you built in the air :(
La Porta Soprana or Porta di S.Andrea is part of the line of defence that surrounded the city in days gone by. Both the walls, called Barbarossa's walls, where it is possible to carry out a short distance of sentry duty, and the Porta Soprana itself, were built around 1155. During the French Revolution, together with the ideas of liberty and fraternity, the guillotine arrived in Genoa and was placed in one of the two towers and used until 1809. A short walk away is the house og Domenico Colombo, father of Cristoforo.
Soprana Gate and Columbus House
Soprana Gate is one of the most important monument of medioeval militaty architecture and is the only remaining feature with that one named Porta dei Vacca of the circle of walls erected in 1100's to deterre emperor Federico Barbarossa from attacking Genoa. At the front of the Gate lies the Christopher Columbus'house (opned on Saturday and Sunday) bordering the Romanesque Cloister of St. Andrea. This is a truly charming spot in contrast with the modern square of Piazza Dante.
The name of Christopher Columbus, the explorer of the New World, is in evidence all over Genoa. His statue greets you as soon as you emerge in Piazza Acqueverde from Porta Principe railway station; various public buildings bear his name; even the airport is called Aeroporto Cristoforo Colombo.
However, it is not certain whether Columbus was born in Genoa, in Savona 15km (9 miles) to the west or outside Italy altogether. However, city registers mention his father, a weaver, and different family homes within the city. This small ivy-clad house next to the Porta Soprana may have been Columbus's childhood home, where he first discovered his passion for the sea.
At Porta Soprana, the Eastern gateway to the old city, you can visit what is held out to be Christopher Coloumbus's House, as well as the remains of Sant"Andrea, the cloisters of a 12th century convent
In the 12th century a ring of defensive walls was built around Genoa. The only remaining section of these walls is the gate Porta Soprana. This was built in 1155.
Go through the gate and walk towards the newer looking part of town and you will pass the elegant cloister of San Andrea dating from the 12th century and a tiny building which was once the home of Christopher Columbus.
This is by Porta Soprana and the 1300s or 1400s building has inevitably been rebuilt many times,
It is claimed that Christopher Columbus was born here, a contentious claim which is porbably now going to be impossible to ever completely prove.
But - it's provenance is not wholly in doubt as it is known beyond doubt that Columbus's father owned the house.

New Abilene Zoo exhibit flaunts tropical flora and fauna
What: Caribbean Cove at the Abilene Zoo
When: 10 a.m. today; zoo open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily
Where: 2070 Zoo Lane in Nelson Park
Admission: $5 for adults; $4 seniors; $2.50 children 3-12.
If a tropical getaway isn't in your budget, head to the Abilene Zoo to visit its newest inhabitants in Caribbean Cove, opening today at 10 a.m.
The new exhibit boasts bright island colors throughout the area, filled with more than 30 breeds of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, all from countries on the Caribbean Sea.
The planning began a couple of years ago, Bill Gersonde, the zoo director, said. Built primarily in-house, changes in staffing delayed the planned opening last summer,
Besides the tropical animals, the section features a number of exotic plants that Gersonde hopes eventually will grow into a rain forest.
Another goal for the future involves two creatures with shiny brown fur and long, thick tails that came to Abilene by way of Trinidad. The tayras belong to the Mustelidae family and look similar to other family members, such as weasels and minks, but are larger than both.
The roughly 2-foot-long mammals represent an important aspect of the zoo — conservation. Gersonde said Abilene received a male and a female, and he hopes to start a breeding program with the pair. Abilene's zoo is one of a handful in the U.S. that house tayras. Unlike most of its ground-dwelling cousins, the tayra is arboreal, or tree-dwelling.
"They are incredibly active," Gersonde said. "They're almost spastic. They just go and go and go."
Active, however, isn't a word generally associated with a sloth. But the two-toed sloth in the Caribbean Cove area belied her name as she swung and crawled among the many branches and poles in her pen, seemingly unfazed by gravity or position.
Some of the animals have self-explanatory names and stand out — the cotton-top tamarin, a small primate with head of fluffy white fur, or the vivid yellow Panamanian golden frog. Other beasties require a bit of searching to find them in their habitats.
One frog on display, the red-eyed coqui frog from Puerto Rico, is an understudied breed of amphibians, Gersonde said. Zoo staffers went to Puerto Rico and worked with researchers before bringing the frogs to Texas.
"This is the first breeding of the red-eyed coqui to be raised in captivity," Gersonde said. The frogs at the Abilene Zoo have helped gather information about coqui frogs in general and that breed in particular. They also offer an opportunity to educate visitors.
"When guests come, they will see an incredible diversity of species," Gersonde said. "It allows us to work on our conservation goals. That's a priority here at the zoo."

The rest of the pictures from Saturday.....
Bouncing Billy putting secret additives in his super tanker.
Billy said he gravitated to the rock that wasn't on the trail. I wasn't quick enough to catch him on the ground.
First stop for beer, it was still morning.
Ok, the way I heard it was there wouldn't be much sand or whoops. LOL! It was good practice for sure!
606 reporting for duty, no flats today :)
Nowwhat? I will tell you nowwhat....we are about to head into some rocky downhills....for me they were pretty serious. Nothing I would want to go back up.
After the downhills was a nice obstacle course.
Passing was difficult
After the sandwash the 950s had a chance to cool down while we waited for the singles to arrive :)
Harder than it looks. We ended up just pushing it over without the wheel spinning.
Moving at a snails pace here, the Kawasaki was diggin in for the winter
Looks like a scorpion in this pic
Mudcycle, now this bike weighs as much as a 950.
Some of the foot prints back there were pretty deep, almost at the point where your foot would come out of the boot.
We were all laughing about this! I thought I was all good with my fresh 908 and all that HP. Oops, I see a low fender here.
I am glad to be providing some of the entertainment! Nowwhat laughing his ass off. I wasn't able to ride the bike very well when the front tire wasn't spinning.
Thought I was in the clear when we took this pic, not so.
I know why they have a "super" in the name of this bike.
Time for grubbin
By the way, we didn't stop for pictures. I always had to be quick with the camera as these guys wanted to RIDE!
Seriously, how is this for an unload site? The bank at the Tampa exit at the 101. I was exhausted and wanted to lay down on the grass.

Carroll-ex Blackmar signs with MLB's Baltimore Orioles
Right-hander played one season with Temple College before being selected in the 16th round
CORPUS CHRISTI - Former Carroll star pitcher Mark Blackmar signed a contract with the Baltimore Orioles over the weekend and is reporting to the team's Gulf Coast League rookie-ball affiliate this week.
Blackmar, a right-hander who played one season of ball at Temple College after graduating from Carroll, was a 16th-round choice of the Orioles this season, a year after the Kansas City Royals made him a 34th-round pick.
Blackmar might have gone higher last season, but he dissuaded major league teams from drafting him so he could have at least one year of college to enjoy.
"Last year, we all wanted him to have one year under his belt and not be put in an immediate situation with Major League Baseball," said his mother Carol, the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's golf coach. "Let him mature, give him one more year to play at college and see if he couldn't get drafted this year."
At Temple, Blackmar played for former major league pitcher Craig McMurtry. Blackmar thrived, going 7-2 with two saves and a 2.44 earned-run average. He had a stunning 66 strikeouts against 10 walks.
That was good enough for the 16th round. But, being at a two-year school, Blackmar conceivably could have been selected in the draft three more times in his career — upon leaving Temple, after his junior season at a four-year school and upon completing his time at a four-year school.
But, even with leverage, Blackmar felt this was the perfect opportunity.
"He just felt this was the right offer," Carol Blackmar said. "He had his chance to mature at college and wanted to go now."
Blackmar was the Class 5A Player of the Year at Carroll in 2010, leading the Tigers to the state title as a pitcher and outfielder. As a senior in high school, Blackmar went 15-1 with an 0.80 ERA, while striking out 100. He also batted .478 with seven home runs, 50 RBI and 43 runs scored.
Blackmar is the fourth player with area ties to sign this year after being drafted. He joins Calallen-ex Ryan Duke, who is playing short-season A-ball in the New York-Penn League, and former A&M-Corpus Christi standouts Matt Holland and Todd Simko, both of whom are already in the Florida-based Gulf Coast League, playing for the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals organizations, respectively.

Description :
It has been a year since the American Civil War ended. The fighting may have stopped back east, but it has begun anew along the US/Mexican border. To the north, Apaches and Comanches fight to maintain their way of life. To the south, Mexico keeps a cautious eye on the ever expanding might of the United States. And everywhere, bandits, outlaws, and corrupt lawmen continue to pillage villages and rob banks.
Climb into your saddle and make your mark on one of the wildest places in the west. Join the US army and become an honest man, or lend your hand to a bandit chief for a fistful of dollars.
1866 aims to bring the atmosphere of the most famous western movies to Mount and Blade. More than 65 brand-new detailed and realistic firearms await you. Whether you use them for good or bad is up to you.
Feature list:
# New Firearms: More than 65 realistic, period-accurate firearms, including the famous Colt M1851 Navy and the Winchester 1866.
# New Clothing: Many new western outfits and hats have been added to bring you back to the old west, including some historical military uniforms for the United States and Mexico.
# New Melee Weapons: Dozens of melee weapons have been added.
# New Factions (major): Four civilizations (The United States, Mexico, Apaches and Comanches) and three gang types(Outlaws, Bandits and Lawmen) to join.
# New Factions (minor): Renegade Confederates, Indian Raiders, Mexican Imperialists, and Scalphunters now roam the map. The player can be friendly or hostile with these factions, and even recruit troops from them.
# New Scenes: Every town and village has been redone (once again!) to make the player feel like they're in the old West.
# New Troop Trees: Varied troop trees designed to highlight each faction's strengths and weaknesses.
# New Sounds: including distinct sounds for different weapons, ricochets, and explosions.
# New UI: featuring art from famous western artists, the user interface is designed to bring the M&B feel into the era of the old west.
# New Effects: Custom weapon particle effects and animations.
# New Quests: including working wanted posters with bounty rewards and duels, town shootouts, stagecoach robberies, bank robberies, and ambushes for honorable/dishonorable characters!
# New Map: Based on the border region of Texas, Mexico, and New Mexico. Includes new icons for towns, villages, armies, animals.
# New Character Customization: including new races (American, Mexican, Native American) for both sexes: improved faces, facial hair, and even customizable warpaint!
# New Characters: Historical characters lead the armies of each civilization, and fictional companions can join your army.
# New Banking Features: For those of you who would rather put money in a bank than rob it.
# New Hunting Features: Hunt the native wildlife to sustain your armies and for their valuable hides.
# New Quick Battles: including Gettysburg, a Camp Defense during a Comanche Raid, and more to get you right into the action.
# New Battle Scenes: Customized to recreate the wilderness of the American southwest.
# New Music: brings the western atmosphere to life. All music included is copyrighted and is by 1866 with permission.
# New Bleeding Feature: Non-player Troops who have sustained heavy damage become less effective and will die or lose consciousness after some time.
# New Skills: Stockpiling allows players to use larger bags of ammunition.
# Shotguns\Dynamite: Shotguns can now hit multiple targets, but at long range the damage is greatly decreased. Dynamite excels at taking out large groups.
# New Enemies: A greater variety of enemies can now be found on the world map.
# New Horses: A wide variety of horses historically found in the west are now available.
# New Animations: Animations have been improved to make the gunplay more realistic.
# New Voice Acting: Voice acting for all troop races and sexes. Command sounds have been added for male troops.

Date: March 1, 1995To: All ISU Extension StaffFrom: Bruce Stoll
Re: Child Protection and Safety Policy for ISU Extension.
Please take a few minutes to read the attached policy before reading the following procedure.
As you all may be aware, a pilot of this policy has been implemented for the past year in a number of counties. The pilot has focused only on Volunteers in the Youth Program. The volunteer part of the policy will be implemented statewide in the fall of 1995.
Effective March 1, 1995, we will implement the policy to cover the following positions:
Those selected to be interviewed will be provided a copy of the policy and asked to sign the Non-Law Enforcement Records Check Form authorizing the Check. Failure to sign the form removes applicant from consideration. The actual check will be completed on the successful applicant. The check may take 8-12 weeks. Thus if employment is immediate, the employee will be given a written employment offer that includes the statement "It is mutually understood that the findings of the IDPS (Iowa Department of Public Safety) screening may result in the immediate termination of the employee noted on this employment offer."
The Non-Law Enforcement Records Check Forms for county employees will be available from your area director. The signed forms of unsuccessful applicants should be destroyed. The form of the successful applicant is immediately sent to Bruce Stoll, 109 Curtiss Hall, Ames, Iowa 50011. This will be forwarded to the IDPS and a decision made upon the return of the official report. Those responsible for the hiring will be informed promptly regarding the decision.
As a self screening tool, it may be useful to include an attachment to the application that states "In accordance with ISU Extension's Child Protection and Safety Policy, a Criminal Record Check will be completed by the Department of Public Safety on the applicant selected for this position."
CEEDs and county council chairs have received a letter from Bill Linstrom that explains the new process for all new ISU staff in addition to county-paid positions.
County extension education directors should discuss the new policy and this process with extension councils as soon as possible. The cost of the criminal record check process for ISU Extension or county-paid staff will be absorbed by the Extension Human Resources Unit.

The new Rainbow Bridge, which replaced the Rainbow Arch Bridge, was dedicated almost 10 years ago.
