Got yourself a shiny new Galaxy S4? Or planning to get one soon? Lucky you, because Samsung's latest is the hottest phone on the market right now. And if you are among the select few who've already got the latest Galaxy phone, or even if you're just thinking about getting one, today's Mobile Accessory of the Week – the iLuv Bolster Galaxy S4 Case – is a must-have for the new mobile elite.
There's actually an impressively big new lineup of iLuv Galaxy S4 cases and covers being released at the moment, and most of them are pretty sweet. But the Bolster Case has something special that even iLuv classics like the Gelato and Gossamer don't have – it doubles as a stand.
With a folio-style design, the iLuv Bolster Case combines durable, hard-shell materials with a soft and flexible front cover. But here's the neat part: that front cover folds back to instantly become a stand for watching video or viewing pictures and websites. It's also got customizable viewing angles.
And just in case you're thinking that folios are a hassle to flip open every time you make a call, the Bolster actually lets you talk with the cover closed, so your phone can be protected all the time. That's pretty cool too.
The overall look of this accessory is classy and sophisticated. Especially in black, it's got a professional, cosmopolitain vibe to it. Pair that with a clever built-in stand that adds no bulk whatsoever and the feature that lets you talk with the cover closed, and the iLuv Bolster Galaxy S4 case has got you covered, no question about it.

Motorola typically tries to keep their phones such as Unlocked Motorola XT720 under wraps for as long as they can, but recently pictures of the Motorola DROID 3 made their way on line. The company has released one of their Droid devices each year, and the shots that made their way online look very promising. The phone will, of course, feature a QWERTY keyboard that slides out from under the display. The pictures do not tell that much about what users can expect of the phone, but things are looking up for the Droid 3 from what we can tell so far.
One of the bigger things that can be deciphered from the pictures that made their way online was the inclusion of a dedicated number row. This means that you will no longer have to hit the alt key when you want to hit numbers on your QWERTY keyboard. Although it is not completely clear from the photos, it also looks as if the phone will feature both a microUSB and an HDMI output port. You can see the ports on the bottom of the phone in some of the pictures but there is no direct shot of either of the ports.
In line with the direc tion that the company went with the Droid 2, it looks as though they have abandoned the idea of having a D pad on the phone, and instead have gone with the same similar arrow keys that were seen in the previous version of the device.
Not a lot can be deciphered from the pictures. They mostly show the display of the phone, such as Unlocked Motorola Milestone XT720 but do give us a good idea of how big, and what the keyboard will look like. It will be interesting to see what kind of reception the device gets when it is finally released. Motorola typically releases one new Droid for users every year, and this one seems to be along the same lines as the Droid 2.

Hobbies and crafts bring happiness to our lives. They are a way for us to pursue our passions and are often outlets for either our creative sides, or to reduce stress, or simply just a way for us to relax. Often, we have an investment, either monetarily or emotionally, in the items that we keep around for our hobbies. Many of these items are small and require a special kind of storage container. Sometimes, the items can be so small that a storage container with multiple compartments is needed in order to keep everything sorted and organized while still insuring that the items won't get lost. Hobbies can be confined to one specific location, but sometimes the items we use for them need to be easily transported as we take our hobbies on the go, either within our own homes or somewhere else.
If you are a tinkerer, a carpenter, a mechanic, or just a person who loves to juggle many different kinds of home improvement tasks, than having a workshop area or at the very least containers that can hold all of your supplies, is a necessity. Craft and hobby storage drawers are a must for keeping all those small items sorted and organized. Plus, it helps you keep track of them all, so the next time you need a certain sized brads or fasteners, you know if you have it or not. Why waste time going to the store to buy more if you have some leftover from your last project? Keep your solder wire for your next project in a drawer in your storage case. Keep the different gages separate. Keep your LEDs, resistors, and transistors all stowed away in an organized manner.
Maybe you love scrapbooking. You love organizing all the photos, finding great papers to work with, using all sorts of embellishments to add to your pages, and as a result you have acquired a lot of different scrapbooking materials that you need a better way of storing and organizing. It can be tough to keep track of all the supplies that you have if you are a serious scrapbooker. A large scrapbook chest can hold cases of paper, supplies, embellishments, stamps, and so much more. You can roll it right over to where you are working and let your creativity flow. Even if you are not what you would consider a serious scrapbooker, but you do like to get all of your kids' photos arranged beautifully in a scrapbook, you are going to have some papers, photos, and other supplies on hand that you need to organize. If you scrapbook with a club, you need to take all of these materials on the go. If this is you, a scrapbook carrier can transport all your supplies easily. Use smaller cases with adjustable compartments to hold all the small items you use. Use the photo boxes to organize and store your photos until you get them in a scrapbook. Do you make your own greeting cards as well? Get a greeting card organizer to hold and organize them.
If you love to slow it all down and go fishing to let go of all the stress, than a hobby case can hold your fishing tackle and other odds and ends. Relax and enjoy the quiet of your peaceful hobby. Keep all of your supplies sorted and close at hand. Keeping them in a case that is easy to carry can make sure you get all tackle and supplies out the door when it is time to go.
Fishing, scrapbooking, tinkerer – and so many other hobbies can all be enjoyed more with great storage and organization products found right here at SpaceSavers.com!

LOWVILLE Lewis County officials plan to expand their summer bus run to Old Forge by adding a stop in Croghan.
Were trying to reach the northern end of the community, said Leah M. Schneider, the countys mobility manager.
As part of the countys public transit system, Birnie Bus Service last summer made daily bus runs from early June through Labor Day weekend to accommodate summer workers and tourists going to the Herkimer County resort town, beginning in Lowville with a couple of other stops in southern Lewis County.
Its open to the public to enjoy the day or work, Mrs. Schneider said.
Buses arrived at Enchanted Forest Water Safari about 9:30 a.m., with a return trip beginning a half-hour after the park closed.
Riders paid 50 cents apiece for each one-way trip.
By opening the rides to the public, the county was able to use state Department of Transportation money to help subsidize the trips and incur no local cost for the service.
Nearly 3,000 passengers used the service during the inaugural season, Mrs. Schneider said.
With more time to plan and work through the countys One-Stop Career Center, the hope is that the service will be used even more this summer, she said.
The hope is that starting the round trip in Croghan, rather than Lowville, will make it more convenient for all county residents, even those in the Harrisville area, to ride the bus, Mrs. Schneider said.
Plans are to keep most aspects of the Old Forge run, including the cost, the same as last year, although schedules for stops still must be worked out, she said.
Everythings pretty much staying status quo, Mrs. Schneider said.
The bus initiative is being planned in conjunction with the Lewis County Youth Bureau and the countys One Stop Career Center.
Anyone interested in applying for summer jobs in Old Forge may visit the career center on outer Stowe Street.
Theyre getting those applications now, Mrs. Schneider said.
The county transit system started in July 2009 through a cooperative effort with Birnie.
It includes seven runs into Lowville from various sites throughout the county and a loop around Lowville on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

|Vilas Wreck Injures One, Snarls Traffic
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:54
There were injuries and a long line of traffic from a three-car crash on US 421 North in Vilas. A woman was transported by Watauga Medics non-emergency traffic to Watauga Medical Center, but the 4:45pm crash backed up traffic in and out-bound, causing Cove Creek Volunteers to create a by-pass around the scene
to move traffic--albeit slowly. Trooper Hendrix said that turning traffic slowed inbound traffic to a stop, the first of the three vehicles not quite stopped, the silver Mitsubishi stopped when the car of Eddie Ward slammed into hers. Her car hit the vehicle in front, and her airbag deployed, causing her some abrasions along with neck and back pain. She was transported while the other two drivers claimed pain but did not seek treatment. He cited Ward in the accident.

8 Reasons to Dive the Alacrity Rocks
Thursday 3rd June 2010 by Clayton
As the camera fills up and files need to be deleted, the monthly cleansing can gobble up good photos hidden among many that are out of focus or of the lens cover or any other camera blunder that goes hand in hand with underwater photography. As I was sifting through the memory card, I came across the photos below taken by Bruce and Teresa only 2 weeks ago. Of 100+ photos, these 8 caught my eye and makes me wish I was diving every single day of the week.
If these critters don't wet your appetite for diving, then you've probably already seen it all and need to sell your diving gear. Just kidding.
Anyways, Teresa took these photos with a Sea and Sea over 3 days of diving in the Alacrity Rocks region on the western side of the Astrolabe Reef in Fiji.
And yes, that is a huge octopus!
Manta Ray Madness at Ono Island, Fiji
Tuesday 19th January 2010 by Clayton
Just when we all thought Manta Rays found another home away from the Astrolabe Reef, BAM! manta ray sightings 2 days in a row right off Paradise Beach on Ono Island.
The first day, the gang spotted their wing tips coming through the water's surface. As the boat was coming in for their surface interval after diving at Split Rock, they spotted the manta rays feeding in the water. Kevin made sure to take full advantage of the moment, exclaiming "STOP THE BOAT! STOP THE BOAT!" Kevin, Jason, and the rest of the crew quickly readied their mask, snorkel, and fins to have a swim with the manta rays for more than 30 minutes.Read more...

Aaron and Tara visited the Resort during the first week of November 2009. I remember the first day, checking out the camera gear after their refresher dive in front of the Resort. Nikon cameras, macro lenses, camera housing, and strobes, not to mention their normal diving gear. My initial thoughts were 'who needs all of this stuff?' But after I started looking at their pictures, I began to appreciate the gear and the patience that goes into making a beautiful photo.Read more...

President Obama's Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has embraced the "Buzz Lightyear" strategy to overcome the fiscal and debt crisis known as the "fiscal cliff": to infinity and beyond. Geithner told host Al Hunt on Bloomberg TV's Political Capital on November 16 (see video at link below) that he favors elimination of the statutory debt limit. "It would have been time a long time ago to eliminate it. The sooner the better." The move would place no upper limit on how much Congress and the White House could spend and borrow, effectively making the Disney Toy Story character's catch phrase national debt policy.
The so-called "fiscal cliff" — though technically separate from the national debt limit imposed by Congress — is a measure adopted by Congress that would automatically increase taxes and impose tiny spending cuts January 1, 2013. It was created in the wake of a 2011 negotiation between the White House and the Republican-controlled House of Representatives as the statutory debt limit neared. According to the Washington Post, "The fiscal cliff is the combination of federal spending cuts and tax increases that are scheduled to shrink the federal deficit to $641 billion from $1.1 trillion in the current fiscal year, a decline of $487 billion in one year. Tax increases account for $478 billion, or 98 percent, of the deficit reduction."
And that kind of deficit reduction is not acceptable to the Obama White House, as well as to establishment economists who predict a recession if the nation drives off the fiscal cliff. The minor spending concessions by Democrats in the summer of 2011 — which avoided far larger spending cuts that would have taken place as a result of failing to increase the national debt limit — apparently still stings the Obama White House.

WEST STOCKHOLM Community members of all ages spent Sunday afternoon here for a day at the races.
The West Stockholm Fire Department hosted its second annual lawn mower races at the firemens field, Pickle Street. The $5 admission fee, along with proceeds from the concession stand and raffle tickets, all raised money for the fire department.
Each team or racer had to bring its own lawn mowers and register for the race by being a member of the Northern New York Lawn Mower Racing Association, said Jason L. Russell, West Stockholm firefighter and organizer of the fundraiser.
Mr. Russell came up with the idea of lawn mower racing as a fundraiser for the department two and a half years ago.
Mr. Russells cousin Torey J. Russell is an assistant fire chief in West Stockholm who said last years event raised approximately $1,800. He said he hoped to see a higher number this year. Its nice to be able to see the fire department members out doing something, because normally when they see us, were doing something in an emergency situation, he said. It gives an opportunity for community members to give back to the department, and in a way, the department can give back to them.
The races featured Superstock, Juniors, Sportsmen, Mod XR, Pro Stock and Pro Mod. Participants had to be at least 16 years old for all races except the Juniors, which was for ages 10 to 16.
Its great for our community to come out and support us because it is one of the annual fundraising events we have now, West Stockholm Fire Chief Robert E. White said.
For Rensselaer Falls firefighter Dallas R. Denny, this event means more than just another weekend race because the money is going to a fire department.
He and his brother Kenneth A. Denny have been racing in Pro Mod races for approximately three years. Their team name is Two Brothers Racing, and they race every weekend during the summer.
Kenny started lawn mower racing in a small class. I came to watch him and decided to build myself one, Mr. Denny said. Weve been racing ever since.
Dallas Denny said it took him about two months to build his first mower.
Theyre all lawn mower, so its a lot of work and a lot of money, but its fun, he said.

Perks author speaks to Peters students
McMURRAY When Stephen Chbosky took the stage in the Peters Township High School auditorium Friday afternoon, he was greeted with shouts, applause and a general frenzy.
Chbosky, 42, and a 1988 graduate of Upper St. Clair High School, authored the 1999 novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower, about the adventures of a fictional misfit high school freshman who is befriended by two seniors and how his life changes. He also wrote the screenplay and directed the movie that is premiering this weekend in Pittsburgh.
Much of the filming that was completed in June 2011 occurred at Peters Township High School. When Chbosky learned he would be in the Pittsburgh area for the premiere, he contacted the Peters Township district and asked if he could speak, first with the multimedia students and then to an assembly of juniors and seniors. Later Friday, he spoke to the students at his alma mater.
Peters High School was chosen for several scenes over Upper St. Clair because that school was considered too modern to represent a school from the era in which the movie and book were set, the 1990s.
In a more intimate setting speaking to the multimedia classes in the Peters high school library, Chbosky said he loved the red lockers lining the halls, the trophy case and the library.
He was glad to return to his roots for the premiere, and as for his feeling about his native Pittsburgh, Chbosky said, Its a great and a really unique place. He referenced what he called Pittsburghs blue-collar roots, of which he is fourth generation.
I love the Steelers and the Penguins, and in a lower voice almost whispered, and the Pirates.
As to why some scenes were eliminated from the movie that appeared in the book, Chbosky said using all the words in the book would have resulted in a five-hour movies that no one would go to.
Nicole Sitler, a high school media teacher, said she was excited she and her students could meet and speak with Chbosky.
Its so hard to put into words, Sitler said. Its a once in a lifetime for many to interact at the high school level Its incredible.
Yes, Sitler has read the book, has not seen the movie and said the book is available to the students in the high school library.
Josh Glisksman, a junior, was able to speak with Chbosky as part of a group session before the assembly. Glisksman would like to be a sportswriter or a sports broadcaster.
It means a lot, Glisksman said.
Chbosky did not have a prepared speech for the overflow assembly in the Peters auditorium other than a tongue-in-cheek stay in school and say no to drugs.
He described exactly what he believes a wallflower is, and its not someone who sits against the wall during a dance or other co-ed activity.
A wallflower, Chbosky said, is someone who stops and smells the roses.
You look around and see how amazing life can be, he said.
Now that hes a new father of a 7-week-old daughter, Chbosky said his priorities have changed.
When I was a kid your age, I was so messed up, he said to laughter. He told the students to keep on with life and soon it would gel.
When asked to whom the character Charlie is writing letters to in the movie and the book, Chbosky said he is not revealing the name. He used the analogy of hearing a song where some of the lyrics are lost and the listener makes up the words. Later, when the actual lyrics are learned, the result can be a letdown, and Chbosky said hes not about to let that happen for the moviegoers or the readers.
Scenes for the movie were shot not only in Peters Township, but also in his native Upper St. Clair. Actors in the movie include Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, Paul Rugg and Ezra Miller.
Chbosky said the actors all began working as children and never had the opportunity to attend their own proms or graduations. One of the wonderful things about the movie, he said, was that all of the actors were able to act those scenes and they got to be kids for a summer.
Currently, the movie is being shown at AMC Loews Waterfront in West Homestead, and at Manor Theatre, Murray Avenue, Pittsburgh.

POTSDAM Village department heads met with the Board of Trustees on Tuesday night to figure out the $9.3 million budget for 2013-14.
Each department head had to make a case to avoid cuts, in a budget year that is tighter than normal.
Rising costs for pensions and health plans mean less money to be distributed elsewhere. Retirement and health care costs amount to 27 percent of the village budget.
Mayor Steven W. Yurgartis said he is trying to trim other areas to minimize the increase in property taxes next year.
Im trying to get the budget down to the 2 percent range, and were not there yet, he said.
Most departments will either retain the same level of funding or see a slight increase, but some budget items were contested Tuesday. The board discussed whether a new $26,000 police car to replace an older vehicle was a necessary expense.
Ultimately it was decided to allocate $20,000 for the car. The police department will cover the rest of the cost with funds received from the Drug Enforcement Administration, and will cut its maintenance, gasoline and office expenses by a total of $8,000.
Fire Chief Timothy L. Jerome said he was frustrated by the village boards attempt to cut a budget that he says is already too low.
Every year since Ive been here Ive been cutting and cutting and cutting, he said.
The proposed maintenance budget for the fire department was cut during the meeting, as was a $10,000 donation typically given to the volunteer side of the department. Much of the $10,000 will be re-allocated to allow the department to purchase more equipment.
Mr. Yurgartis said the board needed to ensure that no department receives more money than it needs. Each department should not have its own emergency fund, he said; rather, it should rely on the villages main $20,000 contingency fund in case of unexpected expenses.
I dont want to have contingency in the budget, he said.
The first draft of the budget called for a 2.12 percent increase in property taxes, up to $15.41 per thousand dollars of assessed value. According to Mr. Yurgartis, this amount will go down by the time the final budget is completed. It will drop further once recreation expenses are factored out of the budget.
The village voted last week to stop funding the joint recreation program it has long shared with the town of Potsdam. Mr. Yurgartis said he wants to completely finish the budget before removing the recreation expenses and revenues, at which point all savings will be used to lower the village property tax rate.
No matter where the rate ends up, the village will almost certainly have to dip into its reserves to make ends meet. Administrator David H. Fenton said the village has plenty of money to cover the costs, and the amount needed from the reserves has been decreasing for the past few years.
The West Dam Hydro Project is expected to begin generating electricity and revenue this year, providing another source of income.
The village is also counting on nearly $1.3 million in sales tax revenue, providing the state allows a long-awaited sales tax increase for St. Lawrence County.
Trustee Eleanor F. Hopke disapproved of including the sales tax increase in the budget, urging caution.
I think we ought to be real conservative in our sales tax, she said.
The board will continue to work on the draft of the budget, which will be open for discussion at a public hearing on April 15. The new fiscal year starts May 1.

Girlie Night
DIRTY DANCING Quote-Along
|Emile Ardolino
|Jennifer Grey, Patrick Swayze
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
When DIRTY DANCING came out in 1987, it changed my life.
As I breathlessly watched Baby and Johnny stun the country club set to the soaring notes of "Time of Your Life," I realized that dance had the power to change things! Dance could overcome social and racial barriers; it could break down prejudice; it could even transform a really annoying person like Baby into someone awesome! Thanks to DIRTY DANCING, I came to understand the power of dance, and consequently discovered my favorite genre of film: the dance movie.
Baby and Johnny paved the way for future silver screen amalgamations of love on the dance floor; in other words, without DIRTY DANCING, there would be no STEP UP franchise (a horrifying thought, I know). With such a monumental legacy, DIRTY DANCING deserves our utmost respect, as well as a high amount of romantic mega-sighs.
Obviously, there's no better place to celebrate it than Girlie Night, where we're unleashing the brand new quote-along (and sing-along! and dance-along!) version of the film. We've partnered with the Action Pack to take this film to the next level, which means your favorite lines and songs will be subtitled, and you'll receive interactive props, like maracas for the mambo and Patrick Swayze fans so you can cool yourself down from his hotness.
So put down that watermelon and join us for this special night at Kellerman's, where chair dancing is encouraged and absolutely no one will be put in the corner. (Sarah Pitre)

Relatively new to the Western Hemisphere, Kundalini, "the yoga of awareness," opens your heart, builds strength and releases the energy located at the base of your spine. Each teacher will bring their own experience to the practice -- some much more traditional than others -- but Kundalini is without a doubt one of the more spiritual styles of yoga. Kundalini yoga focuses on breath and movement and challenges its students both physically and mentally.
Kundalini is one of the oldest forms of yoga – it has been practiced by the Upanishads in India since 500 B.C. Mastering the practice at sixteen, Yogi Bhajan brought Kundalini to the West in 1969. Initially, it was never taught publicly until Bhajan challenged its secrecy and taught Kundalini openly to the public and consequently established the 3HO, which stands for "Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization."
Kundalini literally means "coiled" and is represented by a metaphorical coiled snake at the base of your spine. The purpose of Kundalini practice is to uncoil your snake and release that energy within. Health, strength, fitness and overall happiness benefits are included.
There might be a bit of shock factor: no doubt, Kundalini is much different than other forms of yoga. Expect to dance, jump, hold long poses, and breathe deeply and repeatedly – no two classes are the same! It is great for beginners as it has the flexibility to push past your comfort zone as well as offering the ability to go at your own pace.
Clothing made to move! There is an almost cardio-like aspect to Kundalini yoga, and you're going to want to make sure you're wearing clothing you can breathe and move in to avoid restriction in your practice. Also, make sure to look into the nature of the Kundalini class you are attending: some of the more traditional practices require you to wear exclusively white-coloured clothing.
Bring along a water bottle, and if your studio doesn't provide mats and towels, bring both of those as well. Blocks are encouraged for seated positions, if needed.
Kundalini yoga varies from practice to practice. All classes will begin with an opening chant and expect to finish with deep meditation, a closing chant and a song. Expect to focus on your breath (specifically "breath of fire", where air is sucked in and out rhythmically) and to move, dance and let go. Kundalini has the power to unleash and unlock barriers within ourselves that is supremely joyful and serene.

As the Earth warms, nature takes note. The effects of climate change—which include an earlier spring, the changing pH of the ocean, and shrinking ice caps—are varied, and affect life at all levels of the ecosystem. As wildlife populations cope with the changing landscape, their range and habits must often shift dramatically. The timing of annual events such as spring migrations, the mating season, and winter hibernation, are disrupted. This not only tests their own survival skills, it affects the entire web of life, so dependent on seasonal rhythms to thrive.To address the impacts of human activities as they
relate to climate change, WCS is working with local communities and
industries involved in resource extraction. Our conservationists assess
the effects of activities such as oil drilling or fishing on vulnerable
landscapes and seascapes, and determine which extraction methods pose
the least risk. This will allow us to avoid worsening the already grave
threats to these ecosystems posed by climate change disturbances, and
help those that are most resilient to recover.
The Arctic coastal plain of Alaska serves as the spring nesting ground for millions of shorebirds, waterfowl, loons, and other types of birds. Climate change is interfering with their migration, nesting, and feeding patterns. WCS-North America conservationists study how the birds cope with the changing landscape, and identify key areas for conservation.
Coral reefs, sometimes referred to as "the tropical rainforests of the oceans," contain some of the most diverse concentrations of life on the planet. As the surface temperature of the ocean warms, these fragile ecosystems are prone to bleaching events, and eventually, to death. WCS marine researchers map the global stress on corals throughout their range, and study which reefs are most resilient to environmental changes.
The life of a young Magellanic penguin has never been easy. Now, a new study shows that the vulnerable chicks face additional threats to their survival from climate change.
Dr James Watson, director of WCS's Global Climate Change Program, explains that to understand the impacts of climate change on wildlife, we must first address the ways in which humans are changing their behaviors in response to the warming planet.
As their sea ice habitat diminishes in the Arctic, Pacific walruses increasingly use coastal lands to haul out, and feed in the surrounding shallow waters. Because this phenomenon poses new threats to walrus populations, conservationists are adopting new strategies to monitor and protect them.
Marine mammals contend with new industrial developments in the Arctic as local waters become increasingly ice-free during the summer and fall.
A WCS conservationist maps out a climate change survival plan for species living
within Montana's Crown of the Continent ecosystem.
Despite its low profile, the musk ox has persisted through the Pleistocene exinctions, outlasting the woolly mammoth and other prehistoric mammals. WCS Senior Scientist Joel Berger studies America's least known large mammal and its unusual survival tactics.
Despite its low profile, the musk ox has persisted through the Pleistocene exinctions, outlasting the woolly mammoth and other prehistoric mammals. WCS Senior Scientist Joel Berger studies America's least known large mammal and its unusual survival tactics.
WCS scientists link rising temperatures and rainfall levels to a growing parasite problem for nestling birds in South America.
A WCS report, "Species Feeling the Heat: Connecting Deforestation and Climate Change," highlights the impacts of deforestation and climate change on species around the globe.
A WCS study finds that the prospects of coral reefs in the age of climate change have improved. Reefs living in sites with variable temperatures are better able to survive warm water.

Whats a town to do?
Countywide, Jefferson Countys bed tax revenue has climbed at an astonishing rate. From $460,000 in 2000 to $850,000 in 2011, it has almost doubled in the last decade.
But what does that increase look like for towns where the hotels generating the revenue are located? They split their revenue with the county, which sends the lions share to the 1000 Islands International Tourism Council. Left to its own devices, each municipality spends its take in a highly individualized manner, some struggling to find the right programs to support.
We dont have a windfall, said Clayton Supervisor Justin A. Taylor. The county had a windfall and saved it up.
Clayton sends 100 percent of its bed tax, or occupancy tax, revenue to the 1000 Islands Clayton Area Chamber of Commerce. Last year, the town budgeted $12,000 in bed tax revenue but collected less than that, Mr. Taylor said.
In contrast, the town of LeRay received quite a bit of revenue last year, according to Supervisor Ronald C. Taylor, more than $40,000.
But LeRay isnt on the water like Clayton and its often difficult to find the right programs to spend money on, Mr. Taylor said.
The town generally authorizes $2,500 a year to be sent to the Jefferson County Fair and appropriates money for cash prizes at community days hosted by local fire departments.
Right now, the town is in talks with the Evans Mills Fire Department to purchase a digital sign that would be placed alongside a road to promote events and attractions.
The revenue left over at the end of the year, which is considerable, according to Mr. Taylor, is deposited in the general fund.
The town of LeRay does not have a Chamber of Commerce.
At one time, the town of Alexandria was the countys top occupancy tax-generating municipality. Now that distinction belongs to the city of Watertown, which has added 670 rooms since 2005.
Town of Alexandria Supervisor Dale D. Hunneyman said bed tax revenue, which the town keeps in a separate fund, has been declining over the last three or four years, during which time the town has lost four or five motels.
The majority of the revenue, which totaled $96,113 last year, is given to the Alexandria Bay Chamber of Commerce to promote events and activities that encourage visitors to stay the night in the areas hotels and motels, including the TI River Run Bike Rally in June and Bill Johnstons Pirates Day and Rockin the Bay in August.
There is very little left over at the years end, Mr. Hunneyman said.
In December, Jody L. Pettit, general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn one of the citys newest hotels said she would like to see officials spend more money promoting the city as a destination, marketing itself to bus tours, associations and teams.
Right now, holidays are a big attraction for the city.
Mr. Hunneyman called them soft times because that is when his towns tourism season is over.
The town of Watertown receives between $25,000 and $31,000 in bed tax revenue per year that the town sends to the Disabled Persons Action Organization to help promote its concert series, according to Supervisor Joel R. Bartlett.
With disparate seasons and attractions, county and municipal officials have endeavored to find a way to promote the county as a whole without favoring any region.
The Board of Legislators Planning and Development Committee voted Tuesday night to recommend a proposal to spend $150,000 of excess bed tax money the county has averaged $110,000 in surplus money per year since 2009 to extend tourism seasons and areas.
One of the programs would be to spend $25,000 to obtain high-definition video and photography of county tourism highlights, including areas that typically dont get the coverage, according to County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann III.
Another $50,000 would be spent on promoting the airport, which the county is trying to spin off into its own department, to Canadian business and leisure travelers.
The effort is aimed at promoting the county as a whole, not just for weekend stays but weeklong visits, according to Legislator Philip N. Reed, R-Fishers Landing.
That logic dictates that visitors attracted to the county by its traditional tourist destinations who stay for an extended period of time will be more apt to explore other areas of the county.
It helps the center of Jefferson County by attracting them to the outskirts, as one legislator put it.
Some officials have other ideas for how to move forward with the trend of hotel growth.
Mr. Bartlett said Jefferson Countys bed tax rate is below the state average and advocates that the county bump its rate to 4 percent with a provision the county keep 100 percent of the increase to put toward debt service on Jefferson Community Colleges proposed multi-use facility on the site of the former Jefferson County Home for the Aged, also known as Whispering Pines.
This is an opportune time for Jefferson County to help the college out with their proposal without increasing the property tax burden on residents, Mr. Bartlett said, adding, I dont think youd see much backlash from hotel owners because the tourism-related events at the facility would bring in visitors.

You would have to search high and low to find a more extensive menu than that of Spectrum on One. The eight different kitchens from around the world offer regional specialities from Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia, Japan and the Indian subcontinent.
The chefs at Spectrum on One run everything like clockwork, liaising via headsets to ensure each table's order is ready at the same time. Rather than allowing yourself to be seated immediately, you might like to wander around the sizeable floor space of this venue to pick your own spot. A lively place, especially after 21:00, Spectrum on One is perfect if you're dining in a large group and can not decide on where to go.
The real beauty of Spectrum on One is its much-fêted Friday Moët brunch, which started a fad in Dubai for champagne brunches. Running from noon until 15:00, quite apart from limitless champagne, there is a fabulous selection of different foodstuffs on offer, with a particularly noteworthy seafood section, and exquisite chocolate truffles.
Book well in advance to secure a table for brunch or on the weekends, but last minute bookings should suffice during the week at Spectrum on One.

The 11 year-old Osaka girl is accused of violating Japan's Unauthorized Computer Access Law after figuring out the name, birthday, and password of a 12 year-old middle school girl in Yamanashi Prefecture.
The game in question is free-to-play game Ameba Pigg.
The sixth grader told authorities, "I was jealous of the in-game items the middle school girl had."
A life of crime at eleven, kicked off with something that could be handled with some responsible parenting and understanding police officers. But why allow that when there's tax money to spend and this kid broke the law?
Catch all those grade schoolers, because they're the real threat!

The Lighthouse Fire in Range Creek Canyon is "definitely looking better today than yesterday," according to incident spokesman Jason Curry of the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands.
Seven Type Three ground crews, assisted by four helicopters and six engines were fighting the fire Friday afternoon.
The estimate of total acreage affected has been reduced slightly to 839 acres because of increased accuracy of ground and aerial surveying. The Range Creek area contains irreplaceable archaeological artifacts of ancient Native American culture.

I asked this a while back and got no reply so I'm asking again.
Assuming fxpansion are not in need of any more feature requests as they have plenty thank you very much
could we please see a list? I know you guys might not want to reveal your hand (so to speak) too soon but perhaps
a list of the top 10 or 20 in order of which are most likely to appear.
I'm asking because I have quite a few that I would like to put forward but am holding back for two reasons,
1) as I said, it may well be to late and the door is shut firmly on any more requests.
2) they may well be on the list already which is why I think it would be really good to have a list that we could see and even vote for.
I don't ever remember there being any such list. I do remember being sent a questionnaire as to what new features I would
most like to see in future but it would be nice to have a list as a sticky.
I'll probably post mine anyway just to "run it up the old flag pole and see who salutes it" as they say
Would be good to discuss the possibilities of them with other more technically minded users too as I fear some of mine
might be a bit far fetched and I'm actually living in la la land.
