My Digest - (USA)
Watson & Miss Piglet Location: Silt, Colorado , USA Watson , top, was named for a beloved childhood cat and Miss Piglet named because of her fondness of food (once she was strong enough to eat on her own). Piglet was the runt of a feral litter and too weak to be interested in food. My daughter, Molly, insisted she nurse from a bottle and within days the little girl was a regular chow-hound.

ATV Sales Dominate the Sports Market - (USA)
There are numerous categories included in the vast sector of extraordinary sports. X Games have controlled a significant portion of the sporting history of men, and it is imperative to point out that ATV sale has been part of this. Many all terrain vehicles are used for recreational purposes, this includes the idea of extreme sports. However, in a lot of ways folks implement this kit to help manual work making it easier and better to attain. Some ATVs are made with beds to accommodate things a

Update On Burien’s Future Community Recreation Center - (USA)
The slideshow above shows 3-D models of Burien’s proposed Community Recreation Center, and courtesy Burien Parks comes this update: Several months ago the Burien City Council accepted the proposed Master Plan for the future Community Recreation Center.

How to Landscape a Model Railroad - (USA)
by Bill Murphy One of the more fun aspects of model railroading is planning and executing the scenery and landscaping that your track and engines will meander through ” for some it is almost like playing God in that you can decide and create on any scene you desire. From fanciful hobbit themes, alien worlds or realistic recreations there is nothing that you cannot create and display, all it takes is a plan, some materials, a little skill and some time. First and foremost you need a plan or at

Entering the 4th Dimension - by Google - (USA)
In the past months I've blogged quite a few times about the use virtual worlds in visualising and understanding history. One of these examples was IBM's recreation of the Forbidden City in China and I also blogged how cool it would be to walk more of these Ancient Sites. One of the things I wrote when speaking of these ancient sites was; "From about the day I signed on to Ancient Sites I've had the believe that this had the potential to change our Educational system in the way which students co

More than just a piece of paper... - (USA)
Some time ago, I made a promise: "If you finish college or university, I'll be there for your graduation." It was several years ago when I made this promise to Robert, a young man from Fort Liard. It was because of this promise that I drove 1,200 miles (1939km) from Whitehorse, Yukon to Fort Smith, NWT . Robert recently completed Aurora College 's two-year Recreation Leadership Program. Robert's achievement is a tremendous one. Not only was his a challenging program (3/4 of the second-y

It's all starting to come together now... - (USA)
Stupid Ranger and I are finally getting settled into our new home! Fortuitously, as if by some divine plan, I received a sales email from the guys over at Geek Chic lauding their new demi-Sultan table that will be released to the masses on November 23rd. Cursed Consumerism! This just threw a healthy splash of gasoline on the fire for me to plan my new gaming sanctuary at my new home. While I might not be able to afford the Sultan (unless their big reveal is more economical models!), I certainl

Movie Marketing Madness: Star Trek - (USA)
Download PDF: MMM-251-Star-Trek “Reboots” are all the rage in Hollywood when it comes to reviving a franchise that’s seen as either irreparable in its current state or simply too long in the tooth to be attractive to the current audience. The Incredible Hulk, Batman Begins and others have all either ignored their big-screen predecessors and tried to start the character from scratch or taken a drastically different tone than what came before. (Batman Begins is an example of the former, which

The Next Frontier for Baseball Fans - (USA)
One of the last barriers that fans face when watching the game is being able to tell what every player on the field is doing during a given play. Even from the last row of the upper deck, there’s just too much going on, especially if there are baserunners. Well, enter Sportsvision’s FIELDINGf/x . For the past few seasons, Sportsvision has provided PITCHf/x for MLB and AAA games. The system uses multiple cameras to read the ball from a pitcher’s hand to the catcher’s glove. It can read the spe

Feet Hurt? Summer Sandal Solutions - (USA)

Many brands exist, but one eye-popping brand still holds its attraction.Summer has everyone active and perspiration and errands make for smelly footwear. Fashion and practicality needs a deliverer.

Alan Hirsch and FORGE - (USA)
05.12.09I attended the workshop with Alan Hirsch in Surrey on Monday. Alan summarized some of the findings of The Forgotten Ways and in the afternoon made a short presentation on Christology as rooting our missional praxis. I didn’t dispute with Alan on this. His argument is more pragmatic than theological - his concern that while it makes sense to anchor mission in Godself that the concept is too abstract for the average practitioner. (If you haven’t followed my arguments in this regard I summa

Some fiskalicious reading for your Thursday night - (USA)
First, I have to thank Cam Edwards. As if I wasn't pissed off enough about the NIPR computer and the deer, which left bloody streaks on my rear quarter panel and bits of venison on my hubcap and my tire, by the way, Cam managed to find something which has once again sunk my faith in humanity and the future of this nation into a deep, dank hole in the ground, covered it with lye and left it there to fester and rot. If these are the future leaders of America, we might as well surrender now. I,

Push Scooters - (USA)
In the early 1900s, scooters were used by children as a vehicle which they propelled by pushing and then jumping up on the flat board to free -wheel until the scooter lost it’s velocity. Then they would push it again, gain some speed and then ride it once more until there was the need to push it again. It was considered to be a great way to travel around quickly, was great fun and would beat walking at any time. Even though there were small factories that manufactured children’s scooters, mo

Conversation with Ward Cammack, Part 3 of 3 - (USA)
This is the third and final report on our interview with Ward Cammack, Democratic candidate for governor of Tennessee. (See also: part 1 , part 2 ) Question: Tennessee has had some successes recruiting jobs to the state but we have to spend a lot of money on incentives in the form of job training programs. What if we spent more money up front on education and infrastructure and had a better prepared workforce? Mr. Cammack: "There's a point where we drop off far enough on the education base

Posted by lobotero on 25 November, 2008 An idea whose time has finally come. Pedalers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. If you’ve ever been riding down the street and had your pants cuff ripped asunder, there may be a revolution at hand. Trek Bicycle is part of a movement to bury the finger-pinching, pants-munching, rust-prone sprocket and chain, and usher in an era of belt-driven bikes that might have the inventors of the self-propelled transportation Schwinning in

This Day in Geek History: May 13 - (USA)
1637 The table knife is invented by Cardinal Richelieu in France. Previously, daggers were used to cut meat at a meal and to pick one’s teeth. Richelieu becomes the first person of note to provide his dinner guests with knives so that there would be no need for them to bring their own along and to further round the points off all of his knives to remove their usefulness as personal weapons. 1821 Samuel Rust of New York City patents the Washington Press, the first practical and succe

Line 6 POD Review - (USA)
The law of the rock and roll jungle has dictated that, while electric guitarists get the glory of the girls, bassists have had the small consolation of being able to walk into a recording studio, plug into any half-decent direct box and immediately produce a useable tone. The advent of the Line 6 POD, a stellar and affordable direct-recording device for guitarists, is going to change all that. Now guitarists truly have it all. Shaped like a space-age kidney bean, the Pod uses Line 6’s trademar

Apple's tablet will be more than a niche product - report - (USA)
A new financial analysis predicts that Apple's yet-to-be-announced tablet will launch in early 2010 and sell about 2 million units in its first year -- and at an estimated $600 each, that would be an additional $1.2 billion in revenue. The report, from market research firm Piper Jaffray, states that potential revenue from such a device has not yet been included in forecast models for Apple on Wall Street . The firm predicts that the product would increase the company's overall revenue by 3 per
