G Adventures
"We're in constant communication with each other. It's critical for our business model. And sometimes I wonder how we did it without iPhone."
A global travel company stays unified, with iPhone.
At G Adventures, a thriving international tour operator headquartered in Toronto, business is global — literally. And with 1300 tours on 7 continents and 800 staff scattered in 37 countries, communication is mission-critical. Connectivity has to be available at all times, from all places, including a polar expedition ship in Antarctica.
Thanks to iPhone, that's not a problem. "We have 70 staff living on our polar ship," says President and Founder Bruce Poon Tip. "And whenever a new employee arrives, we get a photo of them on the ship, introducing them to the people in the offices. So we can meet them, wherever we are. And that's all done by iPhone."
A culture of community
The culture at G Adventures is passionate and familial: Employees work, travel, and socialize together. To stay in constant contact, they rely on several key iPhone apps: the camera, Tweetie, Beejive, and Skype.
"We're obsessed with Twitter," says Director of Marketing Dan Christian. "We're constantly on our iPhones taking photos and sharing them globally." For instance, at G Adventures' concept stores in New York, Toronto, Melbourne, Calgary, and Vancouver — where customers can browse, consult, and book trips — Christian uses Twitter to share new merchandising. "If we have a store transformation where we're changing up branding, it's simple for us to snap a photo with iPhone and then post it to Twitter," he says. "So everyone in the field has a chance to see."
The conversation works the other way, too. G Adventures trip leaders — known as Chief Experience Officers — use their iPhones to Tweet real-time photos from the voyage. And because the GPS on iPhone geo-tags photos with their exact location, CEOs don't have to label as they go.
Then there's Beejive, an instant messenger app, which keeps business at G Adventures moving at a clip. "We're almost always on instant messenger instead of email," Christian says. "Beejive allows us to use iPhone to message with anybody on iChat, MSN, or whatever service they happen to use."
Apps around the world
Naturally, G Adventures employees are avid travelers. And when they hit the road, they rely on a host of travel apps on iPhone.
With the Air Canada app, Poon Tip can check in to his flight on his way to the airport — and get the boarding pass on iPhone. "I can go through security with just the bar code on my iPhone," he says. "And the amount of time that that has carved out of my commute to the airport is priceless."
G Adventures culture czar Will Matthews uses an app called BabelShot when faced with a foreign-language sign. "You take a photo of a sign, and tell the app that you want to translate from Spanish to English, for example, and it gives you a decent translation," he says.
Jeff Russill gets help making international phone calls from an app called Dial Codes. "Say you're in Kenya and you're trying to phone Peru. You choose 'Kenya to Peru' and then tap your contact. The app takes care of all of the front-end dialing for you." In the past, Russill would have to take time out to call an operator — but not anymore.
Sleep Cycle, an alarm clock app that tracks the sleeper's movements throughout the night, is a huge bonus for the one-two punch of jet lag and early meetings. "You put the iPhone by the bed and set the alarm for, let's say, 7:30," says Russill. "It will monitor your sleep cycles during that time, and in the half hour lead-up to 7:30, it will wake you when you're at the lightest level of sleep."
Poon Tip has found an iPhone app for trips to the tropics: Bug Spray. "I was just traveling with my kids, and they got a few bites we were concerned about," he says. "So the next night I lay the iPhone on their bed and turned on the Bug Spray app. It emits a high-pitched signal that humans can't hear, which keeps the bugs away." The result? "They never got another bite."
G Adventures' Will Matthews chose iPhone for one main reason: integration. "When I was working as an IT person," he says, "it was easy to find lots of intermittent help from one program, and then another program, and you switched back and forth. But to find a unified suite of tools that was easy to take with you — that was difficult. With the iPhone, I was able to find everything that I needed at my fingertips, and it fit in my pocket, so it was a no-brainer for me."
"Thanks to my iPhone, I can instantly be connected to the immediate world around me, no matter where I am."
Keeping it all together
Of course, while they're traveling, the G Adventures team never stops working. Thanks to apps on iPhone, they don't have to.
"I use QuickOffice Connect a lot," says Will Matthews. "It lets me edit any Microsoft Office documents from my iPhone."
With an app called OmniFocus, Matthews keeps his to-do lists in order. "It lets you set a context," he says. "And in each context, it automatically ties in to location services. So I can hit the 'locate' button, and it'll pull up the to-do list for the location I'm in."
Dropbox is a trusted app for syncing files in multiple locations — and accessing them from anywhere. "Dropbox lets me sync files between my home and office Macs," Matthews says. "And it lets me pull those files up on iPhone. I can take photos or video on iPhone and save it directly to Dropbox, which means that anyone who shares my Dropbox can see those files instantly."
A lighter load
With so much functionality in iPhone, Bruce Poon Tip has been freed from his laptop on some of his business trips — for the first time in his 20-year career. "I think I'd rather travel without my right arm than without my laptop," he says. "But with iPhone, I'm doing it every now and then. And it's such a freeing feeling."
The result is a much lighter load for a President — and a company — who truly appreciates efficient travel. "The iPhone allows me to do all of my major functions over the course of a day," Poon Tip says. "All in a hand-held device. It's incredible."
Creative review on the fly
iPhone gives Director of Marketing Dan Christian a significant advantage over his previous smartphone: the ability to review and approve marketing collateral on the fly. "Having the wide display on iPhone and being able to view full-color images is very important," he says. "So I can make quick decisions about print ads, or postcards, or brochure covers. The designers can pass the files over to me via email, and by reviewing them with the zoom on my iPhone, I can keep the process moving."

LONDON (AP) — British police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann say they are looking into more cases involving sexual assaults on children in the area where the girl, then 4 years old, vanished.
Police say all 18 potentially linked cases involve a male intruder into holiday villas occupied by British families vacationing in Portugal's Algarve region between 2004 and 2010. Some of those incidents involved sexual assaults on children.
Madeleine was reported missing in May 2007 from her family's resort apartment in Praia da Luz on Portugal's south coast. Her disappearance remains unsolved.
Last month police said a suspect may have been responsible for 12 cases of intrusions and assaults on children in the Algarve. Police said Wednesday further inquiries have identified six more cases.

I give:
Steve Smith (Panthers)
Hakeem Nicks
Ryan Mathews
I get:
Brandon Marshall
Anquan Boldin
Knowshon Moreno
and in a shocking movement, Beanie Wells was dropped this morning, I can pick him up for Big Ben as a backup RB.
This is a no-brainer right?
Hell no I wouldn't do that trade. First off, Matthews is a pure #1. Moreno is hurt and there are alot more options in Denver. Matthews is going to get far more carries than Moreno and it's not even close.
Marshall is going to have his share of catches but so is Steve Smith, so that's a wash to me.
Boldin is a question mark in my opinion. He won't have Larry Fitzgerald opposite him and say what you want about Warner, he is, as far as fantasy goes, far ahead of Flacco. Nicks isn't a big name but he's Eli's favorite target and will be the Giant's #1 (The Giants Steve Smith caught the most passes, but Nicks and Eli have been working all off season and Nicks was the one WR that went to live with Eli during the off season plus the Giants defense and running game stink so they will be in a bunch of shoot outs).
To recap, you'll be giving up the better RB (by far), the better WR (in Nicks, IMO) and getting back Marshall who is basically like the guy you're giving away, S Smith. You're downgrading at 2 positions without a single glaring upgrade.

It's all about snow. In the lodge, a visitor asked me, "How's the snow up top?" I answered, like the kids do, "It's all good." It's not hard to please skiers at Red Lodge Mountain. We do not expect double-digit inches of new-fallen snow. When we have a season of good snow, as we do this year, it means we can ski Palisades. It's called Bonus Terrain, and although we wish we could ski it every year, we take every opportunity when it does open.
A guy in the family group ahead of us on the Miami Beach Chair herringboned up the hill toward the entrance to Columbine and called out, "Nobody's been here," with such excitement you'd have thought it was two feet of untracked powder. It was about four inches of cream on top of groomed, and it made Columbine a paradise. Paradise was too. Winchester was so much fun we took it twice in a row, and Lobo's steep bumps were all soft.
The true bonus is the view of the palisades, upthrust eroded sandstone spires that stretch along the Beartooth Front and catch the morning light.
With apologies to Freddy Cannon, we didn't take a walk after dark to a swingin' place. We took the chance to ski Palisades Park. There's no shoot-the-chute in this glade area, just deep, seldom-skied snow, trees, steeps, and the respite of falling onto the summer road before tilting over its edge into more trees and steeps and the relief of Meeteetse Trail at the bottom. We ran out of legs before we ran out of snow.

The Placing of the Honorable Sash of the Most Holy Theotokos
The Gospel according to Luke 10:38-42, 11:27-28
At that time, Jesus entered a village; and a woman called Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve you alone? Tell her then to help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her." As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!" But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"

Washington County's population is growing and with that growth so are the enrollment numbers for the schools. Currently the enrollment is 26,131 and is estimated to increase to over 33,000 by the year 2020. However the district currently doesn't have the funds needed to meet rising enrollment numbers. Bond Proposition 9 would help Washington County accommodate these demands.
The school district is asking voters to approve this bond election, which will be issued from 2014-2019 depending on the growth rate. The bond election would help to construct new schools, purchase land for future facilities, and update existing schools in the Washington County areas.
Washington County is aware of the affect this will have on taxes, and will try to save tax payers money by how the buildings are built.
President Howard Stephenson of the Utah Taxpayers Association said, "By using cost effective construction, Washington County School District is able to save between ten and twenty-five percent."
If the estimated growth does not happen, the bonds will not be issued and the bond tax will drop.
For more information concerning the bond election, contact Washington County School District at 121 W Tabernacle or call 435-673-355.

Australia's Future Pilots Take Flight in Adelaide26/11/2012
Virgin Australia will officially launch its inaugural Pilot Cadet Program today by welcoming the first eight cadets to Flight Training Adelaide's facility at Parafield airport.
Today marks the first day of a 55 week course, which will involve a combination of hands-on flying hours, simulator training and ground theory training.
Virgin Australia Chief Pilot and General Manager of Flight Operations Brad Thomann said: "In launching our first ever pilot training program, we conducted extensive research and Adelaide was the standout location.
"Parafield Airport features world-class facilities and modern training methodologies. Adelaide is also an integral part of the Virgin Australia network.
"The cadets with us today have been selected from over 1,100 applicants across Australia. On completion of the program, they will be trained as highly-skilled pilots, ready to operate as First Officers on the ATR turboprop fleet for approximately three years, before transitioning to a Virgin Australia Jet First Officer position.
"The program comes at a particularly exciting time as Parafield Airport embarks on its 20 year master plan to boost economic and employment growth and we hope that our program and the airport will both continue to grow together", Mr Thomann said.
Unlike any other Australian airline pilot cadet program, Virgin Australia will assist all cadets financially, advancing upfront training course costs and will also provide support with accommodation and meals during the program. Each cadet will also have their own mentor, offering personal support and guidance throughout their training in Adelaide.
Virgin Australia has 328 flights servicing Adelaide each week. Virgin Australia offers direct flights from Adelaide to 7 destinations including a direct service from Adelaide to Denpasar, Indonesia. The total number of Virgin Australia flights servicing Adelaide has increased by 9% over the last year.

Cute but PAINFUL
"I read the reviews prior to buying these shoes. I bought them a half size larger than what I normally wear & they are still too small. And, due to the way they are designed, they are extremely painful on the back of my foot. I'm going to try stretching them a bit. But, today is my second ATTEMPT at wearing them and I only lasted an hour."

I see now why these are on sale.
"I wear an 8.5 in most shoes, sometimes a 9 and always a medium. I was unable to get my foot into either size without a huge struggle. These are slip on with no zippers and no elastic gussets to help. Once on the toe box is so narrow my foot felt pinched and I couldn't wait to get them off. Too bad as they're really nice quality and style. Perfect for anyone with a more narrow foot."

In Russia, Alcoa Foundation is funding critical research and education in responsible industrial wastewater management. The Responsible Water Resources Management for Sustainable Development project has two centers of foci: Samara-Oblast (Samara province) and Moscow.
In Samara-Oblast, the research focuses on industrial wastewater management. Samara, the sixth largest city in Russia, lies at the confluence of the Volga and Samara rivers. The life of Samara's citizens has always been strongly tied to the Volga, which has served as one of Russia's most important commercial routes for several hundred years. The city's scenic riverfront is a favorite recreational area for locals and visitors alike. However, Samara is also the leading industrial center of the Volga region. Responsible management of the wastewater generated by these industries is of critical importance to maintain the river's environmental health and recreational value.
In Moscow, the Fund for Sustainable Development and the Institute of Water Problems are working at the federal and local levels, to support the initiative through relevant information exchange and dissemination. As a result, the targeted groups will be better informed about water management systems in Russia, and wastewater cleaning. They will also be able to deliver new approaches developed by the project's research to citizens. The goal of the project is to deliver new approaches for improved water management and polluted-water cleaning techniques. Moscow State University is also conducting research and modernizing its water management curriculum. In this way, a wide spectrum of stakeholders are engaged in the program: students, scientists, decision-makers, citizens and professionals in natural resource management.

Deep thoughts VI: the do-over
Robin Brownlee
February 10 2009 03:19PM
It's better that the Edmonton Oilers got it right late than never getting it right at all when it comes to putting Rob Daum back behind the bench where he belongs instead of schlepping around as a pro scout.
That's what the Oilers did today when they announced Daum would be taking over from Jeff Truitt as coach of the AHL's Springfield Falcons. It's a step toward undoing a series of events that happened last summer, and should go in the books as the first substantial move made by new GM Steve Tambellini.
It's a saga that began with the decision to promote Kelly Buchberger to the Oilers as one of Craig MacTavish's assistants, while Daum was bumped off the staff after one year.
The story, as we've all been told, was Daum was inked to a one-year deal as an assistant coach and he knew going into the gig that was the case. When his contract ended, that opened the door for Buchberger.
I'm not sure that's as much reality as spin. I'd suggest Buchberger wanting a promotion and his relationship with MacTavish is what prompted Daum to be told, "Thanks for coming."
At the very least, Daum should've been made the head coach in Springfield at that point. The problem is, Truitt had already been promised he'd get the top job on the farm if Buchberger moved to the Oilers. Daum's consolation prize was a position as a pro scout.
Bench boss
With Springfield dead-last in the entire AHL with a record of 16-27-7, there can be little debate Truitt was a failure and that Daum has his work cut out for him. While the Falcons aren't brimming with talent, Truitt had enough to work with for the team to be better.
It says here Daum, who spent two years with the Houston Aeros and compiled a record of 77-67-16 after a decade as bench boss of the Alberta Golden Bears, where he compiled a 345-79-32 record and won three CIS University Cups, has the coaching chops to turn things around.
Whether Daum's credentials meant anything at the NHL level in terms of keeping him ahead of Buchberger were a matter of great debate here and elsewhere last summer, I'm guessing there's not much question in the mind of Tambellini that Daum will do a good job.
It's also worth mentioning president of hockey operations Kevin Lowe, GM at the time Buchberger was promoted, is a staunch backer of Daum, having gained an appreciation for his knowledge of the game over the course of this season as they've worked together.
What's interesting about how this unfolded in the last several days is that Daum was actually sent to Springfield to assess the situation -- in essence, to report to Tambellini on what he saw. That had to be difficult as Daum and Truitt are friends.
In any case, Daum is behind the bench where he belongs. As far as the possibility of him showing up back on the Oilers coaching staff at some point, let me spare you much guesswork and speculation. The longer Daum coaches in the system and the closer Tambellini, the only fresh set of eyes in the organization, watches him work, the better the chances are he'll end up on the Oilers coaching staff.
Fact is, Daum should never have been removed.
Let's play patty-cake
Those braying that fighting in hockey should be banned must be applauding the latest report that backs their stance, one that'll turn the game of hockey into patty-cake if the do-gooders have their way.
From the Canadian Press: "A London anti-violence expert is applauding recommendations from a panel on concussions that call for the elimination of fighting from all levels of hockey.
Peter Jaffe said the report could be the tipping point that changes the culture of the game.
"It makes a lot of sense. It is hard to argue with physicians when they talk about the short and long-term dangers of getting punched in the head," Jaffe said. "I think there are enough parents, enough fans and enough coaches who are concerned about the impact."
Reporters, as you'd expect, were at the Oilers skate today at Millennium Place looking for reaction. Zack Stortini and Steve MacIntyre got scrummed. Words cannot describe the look on Stortini's face after the mob had moved on.
Getting punched in the head carries a risk? Really? Here's a news bulletin -- so does getting checked in the boards, dodging frozen rubber pucks and playing a game where people have sticks in their hands and blades on their feet. Let's get rid of all that, too, shall we?
This and that...
MacIntryre got several grenades tossed his way in the form of questions about facing Georges Laraque when the Montreal Canadiens come calling tomorrow.
Reporters, as you'd expect, were looking for a scintillating sound byte or an inflammatory quote, but MacIntyre played it straight and spoke his mind without saying anything stupid.
"Absolutely," said MacIntyre, asked if he's looking forward to facing Laraque and the Canadiens. "We've got to win the game, first and foremost, whether I'm playing or not playing.
"I can't go in thinking of that (fighting Laraque) necessarily. If it happens, it happens. I just have to react and do the best I can."
- This isn't Laraque's first trip back to Edmonton, of course. In previous times back he's done nothing in terms of bully-boy stuff against his old team that could spark a showdown. In simple terms, Laraque's been classy, even though he might have been tempted to make a point with MacTavish in games he played here before they talked things out -- when the Oilers were trying to re-sign Laraque last summer before he took Montreal's offer.
- So, will Laraque and MacIntyre go? Maybe yes, maybe no. Maybe they have a date already. Would it surprise you if I told you Laraque and MacIntyre exchange text messages?
- Lubomir Visnovsky out for the season because he'll need surgery on his right shoulder to repair a torn labrum? Aside from weakening the blueline corps, that puts a big kink in any plans Tambellini has between now and the trade deadline March 4. If there's any place the Oilers have -- make that had -- depth was on the back end in terms of offensive defencemen. With Sheldon Souray, Visnovsky, Tom Gilbert and Denis Grebeshkov, Tambellini had bargaining chips. Now, not so much.
- Fernando Pisani skated with the team today and will accompany them on the next road trip. Expect him back in the line-up before the Oilers return from their four-game swing.

where RB threatened to fight Dennis
Never happened. You think you're going to get somewhere by repeating this fantasy? Say it often enough and it'll become the truth? Think again.
Tencer's Brain Cell wrote:
5. I'll try to sound less pretentious in the future, if you answer my serious question from the "Going eye to eye with Dennis" comments, which was "What information, specifically, do you know that makes your analysis of hockey matters, e.g. prospect evaluation, what trades should be made, where the team is headed, is the coaching a problem- better than a blogger like JW or Lowetide or Dennis, etc? I really think you might have a good answer to this question, and I don't mean to sound facetious or sarcastic when I ask it. Maybe you could give some examples.
I'll repeat this one more time because you obviously didn't read it in the other comments section. Yes, I might have a "good answer," but I don't need to establish my credibility. I don't need to explain myself to Dennis or to you. I write what I write. Agree or disagree, I don't care. I'm not here for Debate Club.
My mistake has been engaging Dennis -- to the point he's taken something I said and stretched it into the fallacy you referred to above. He wanted a reaction, he got one, even if it wasn't what he tried to make it out to be to anybody who would listen.
Dennis established his baseline position long ago: He'e envious of what I do, he believes he could do it better and he thinks I'm a Lowe ass-kisser. He's spent a lot of time taking shots at me and been quite happy to perpetuate the notion since I joined this website that I like kicking bloggers and non-MSM guys around, when it's him who fired the first shot.
An excerpt from a rant of his about a story I did on Joffrey Lupul three years ago:
"There are still a lot of stories to write on the '07 Oilers and some of them wouldn't even have to be puff pieces. That's probably not allowed in Oilerville mind you but Brownlee would've been better off writing a piece about how much JFJ misses his dog back in Quebec rather than raising the pen to defend a highly paid local who just isn't doing the job. I'd give my left nut to cover the Oilers or any NHL team for that matter and at the end of the day I'd still have one testicle left. That'd still be probably one more than Brownlee currently posseses. posted by Dennis-IOF at 12/14/2006 12:08:00 PM
A sampling of his insights since I joined ON:
"Dec. 18: "Anyway, RB and I will be at loggerheads and that's cool with me. I took the initial shot when I said he's been kissing Lowe's can for lo these last 8 seasons and that wounds the big fella so he comes back with a whining allegation. And I'm sure I make the occasional whine:) and I'm certainly sure that Brownlee continues to pucker up!:)"
Jan. 22: "RB: You are right. I don't have a clue because I don't get to kiss butt in the bowels of Rexall. I am sorry."
Jan. 22, 7:26 pm: "RB: You have been assuming the position for years so your advice on this matter would be invaluable!"
So, forgive me if I'm not inclined to spend a lot of time explaining myself or answering your questions . . . If you want to come here and read what I write, fine. If not, that's fine, too.
But, if you do come here and start pitching the stuff Dennis has been hurling my way for three years or trying to agitate me, I won't engage you. I'll simply have the remarks removed. It's as simple as that. That's more than enough of my time.

Emery High boys basketball team defeated Canyon View at Canyon View on Dec. 18 by a score of 68-51 after having lost a heartbreaker at home to ranked Hurricane 51-49 earlier in the week.
In a game that had all the makings of a game at the state tournament, Hurricane and Emery battled each other for the entire ball game before a last second free throw by Hurricane decided this contest. The first quarter had both teams playing cautiously as they scoped out their opponent making sure that they limited their own mistakes. Emery led 10-9 after the period.
A good second quarter by both teams saw 34 points put on the scoreboard and the Tigers grabbed a 28-25 half time lead.
The third quarter was absolutely an offensive disaster for Emery as nothing wanted to fall in the basket. Emery managed only two points in the whole quarter on a pair of free throws by Colton Barnett. Emery was only down 34-27 after the third quarter because the Tigers only managed to score six points in the period as Emery played good defense in the quarter.
With 4:30 left in the game, Emery was still down as they had only managed four points so far in the quarter. Emery then scored 18 points to pull themselves back into the game and actually make a game of it.
With 1:15 left in the game, Emery trailed 46-44 but had the ball out of bounds. Emery ran 12 seconds off the clock before Derek Tuttle hit a 3-pointer to put Emery in the lead at 47-46. This was Emery's first lead since early in the second quarter.
Hurricane's Zac Sorenson hit a 3-pointer with 48 seconds left to give the Tigers back the lead at 49-47. After a made free throw by Hurricane, Emery got to within one point at 50-49 on a floater by Nevin Jensen with 22 seconds left in the game. After another made free throw, Hurricane led by two in the closing seconds. Emery got the ball down court and Tuttle missed a shot but Emery rebounded. Nevin Jensen then had a good look but also missed the shot and Emery rebounded again but was not able to get off a third shot and Emery lost a heartbreaker. It is a sign of a good team when they can have an off quarter but still fight for the win.
Jensen led the team with 14 points while Tanner Procarione scored 12 points. Tuttle finished with eight points, Ty Benson and Barnett finished with six points with Mark Guymon adding a 3-pointer. Guymon, Procarione and Barnett all finished with at least six rebounds apiece.
At Canyon View, Emery won every period but the second in getting the 17 point win. Jensen led the team with 14 points and Procarione had 13 points. Nevin and Tanner are sixth and seventh in 3-A basketball in scoring. Nevin averages 16.43 points per game while Tanner averages 16.
Guymon and Tuttle each scored nine points; Barnett added seven points and Jake Fortner scored five points. TJ Furner scored four points and Benson, Quinn Montgomery and Kashe Potter all scored two points each. Gage Bell scored a single point in the win.
Emery is the leading scoring team in 3-A basketball averaging 67.71 points per game. Emery also has the second largest point differential in 3-A basketball at 13.86 through the first seven games.
Wasatch High came to town on Dec. 22 ranked number one by both of the Salt Lake City daily newspapers. These Wasps can shoot, they are quick and they take advantage of any opening that their opponents may give them.
This was supposed to be a classic battle between two ranked teams, Wasatch at number one and Emery at number three, but Wasatch came to town to prove a point as to whom the best team is and they left satisfied with a 68-48 victory.
In the first quarter, with 4:31 left in the period, the score was only 6-5 in favor of Wasatch. Over the next 1:44, Wasatch outscored Emery 8-1 and the control of the ball game was theirs. The Wasps led 21-12 after the first quarter.
Emery made their last run at Wasatch early in the second quarter. Emery cut into the Wasatch lead and trailed by five at 23-18 as they played well early on in the quarter. But just like that, Wasatch reclaimed control of the action and the ball game, as they owned the next three minutes. They outscored Emery 15-2 and took a 38-20 lead and never were threatened again by the Spartans. Wasatch led 42-26 at the half.
Although Emery had a size advantage, Wasatch's advantage came with their quickness and the fact that every man on the floor was capable of handling the ball and scoring. While Emery had the leading scorer on the floor in Colton Barnett with 22 points, only one other Emery player finished the night in double figures. Wasatch had four players finish with double figures in the game.
Emery outscored Wasatch in the third quarter 13-11 but lost each of the other three periods. Wasatch is now 9-1 this season with only a close loss to 4As Springville blemishing their record. Emery had two prior losses, both coming in the final seconds of the game and now a 5-3 record this season. These two teams will probably meet again.
Barnett led the way for Emery with 22 points on six of six free throws and eight field goals. Colton also had 13 rebounds in the game, a steal and a couple of blocked shots. Tanner Procarione was the only other Spartan in double figures. Tanner scored 11 points in the game after hitting four field goals and going three of six at the line.
Nevin Jensen hit a pair of 3-point shots and finished the game with nine points and seven assists. These were the only three Emery players to make a field goal until the final period. In the fourth quarter, Jake Fortner had a 3-pointer and Derek Tuttle had a field goal. In the first quarter, Mark Guymon went one for two at the free throw line. For the game, Emery was 11 for 17 at the line.
Emery's next game is another preseason contest at Roosevelt against Union High School on Jan. 5, 2010. Emery will start region play on Jan. 8 with a game at North Sanpete.

(July 17) Today we're celebrating . . . Wrong Way Corrigan Day
Wrong Way Corrigan Day
Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan … was an American aviator … (who) In 1938, after a transcontinental flight from Long Beach, California, to New York, he flew from Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, to Ireland, even though he was supposed to be returning to Long Beach. He claimed that his unauthorized flight was due to a navigational error, caused by heavy cloud cover that obscured landmarks and low-light conditions, causing him to misread his compass…
Corrigan's "error" caught the imagination of the … American public and inspired many jokes. The nickname "Wrong Way' Corrigan" passed into common use and is still mentioned (or used as satire) when someone has the reputation for taking the wrong direction

My bathroom sink faucet makes an ungodly squealing racket when the cold and/or the hot water is turned on unless they are in certain positions of flow. The noise is due to some vibration somewhere in the faucet. It is driving me insane.

A visual timeline represents significant events in the life of Perez, from his birth to the present day. Fans will want to be at Great American Ball Park on August 22 for the dedication of a Tony Perez statue on Crosley Terrace.
The Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame & Museum honored more than 100 native Greater Cincinnatians in the exhibition Hometown Reds: Local Boys Who Played for the Cincinnati Reds. Hometown Reds featured jerseys, game-used equipment and memorabilia dating back 145 years to 1869 when Charlie Gould became the first Cincinnatian to play for the hometown team. The exhibit included a player mural along with a graphic map highlighting the towns in southwest Ohio, northern Kentucky and southeastern Indiana from which the Hometown Reds hailed. Visitors to the exhibit will enjoyed personal recollections from some of the Hometown Reds through original video interviews that ran continuously in the exhibit space.
In 2012, the Reds Hall of Fame and Museum features a special exhibit on the life and career of Barry Larkin in celebration of the Cincinnati native's election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Featuring rare artifacts and images and exciting highlights from his historic career, the exhibit is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest players in the long and storied history of the Cincinnati Reds.

A look back at the beloved ballpark that served as the home of the Reds from 1912 - 1970. The story of Crosley Field was told through images, one-of-a-kind artifacts, video presentations and a special soundtrack that recreated the unique sounds of a game day at Crosley. Visitors were able to set the Reds' lineup for the day on an 8-foot-tall replica of a portion of the massive Crosley Field scoreboard and also experience the feeling of going uphill to chase a fly ball on the Hall of Fame's recreation of the famous Crosley Field outfield terrace.
Since 1869, the Reds have been a cherished part of the cultural and emotional fabric of Cincinnati. As the city has grown and developed, as it has confronted tides of social and economic change, the Reds have been a welcome constant. Devotion to the Reds has united generations of Cincinnatians like nothing else. The city celebrates the team's victories, mourns its failures, reveres its past and looks with hope to its future.
It is this bond between the city and the Reds that led the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce to join with the club in the establishment of the Reds Hall of Fame fifty years ago. Since the Hall of Fame's creation, 75 men have been honored with induction. They include not only some of the finest players ever to play the game but some of the game's greatest innovators as well, individuals that helped to create the game that has became the National Pastime.
The achievements of the members of the Reds Hall of Fame touch every era of Reds history. Their exploits solidified and enhanced the tie between the city and the team, a still thriving union that is celebrated anew each season.
Ultimately, the story of the Cincinnati Reds and the Reds Hall of Fame is the story of a love affair between a city and its team. If you are a Reds fan, it is the story of your team. If you are a Cincinnatian, it is the story of your team and your city. It is the story of Cincinnati's Reds.
He was a local boy who became a star athlete; a phenom who made the major leagues at age 15. He was an All-Star pitcher who played sixteen years in the major leagues. He was a radio broadcaster who painted the picture of Reds baseball games for countless listeners over four decades. He was a Cincinnati icon, beloved by all who knew him or knew of him.
Most of all, he was one of us. A son and brother. A husband and father. A neighbor, a fan and a friend Our friend.
Our Old Lefthander. Our Nuxy. Our Joe.
The first name has long been enough. Say "Pete" in Cincinnati and you have to be talking about Peter Edward Rose, the local boy who took a bit of natural skill and worked and willed himself into becoming one of the greatest baseball players the game has ever known.
For generations of Cincinnatians, watching Pete Rose play baseball helped make them Reds fans, instilling in them a passion for the club that has never wavered. He was the captain of the greatest Reds team ever fielded and established records that likely will never be broken. He did it all with a style of play that combined joyful exuberance and fearsome intensity in a way not seen before or since.
Indeed, many men have worn the uniform of the Cincinnati Reds but no one ever wore it quite like Pete Rose and it is all but assured that no one ever will again.
They were led by a fierce competitor who was one of the best players of his time.
They were underdogs who upset an "unbeatable" team in the World Series.
Their victory was tainted when key members of the opposition were banned from baseball for throwing games during the Series.
Their leader never wavered in his belief that the better team had won.
They were the Cincinnati Reds of 1919.
This is their story.
Purchase your tickets ahead of your visit to the Reds Hall of Fame and Musuem.

Reviews of this property
Estela is a really helpful host. The flat is located very central. The noise of the nightbars doesn't really disturb. The flat is clean and modern, only a bit small.
Thank you very much ti Estela for her availability and for all the informations that offer to Us. The apartament is fantastic, confortabile and clean. His position is optimal to visit the all the city, and Lisboa is great! I hope to come back soon Becouse our journey has been great!
Very nice apartment in a great location - really directly located in the entertainment district Bairro Alto. Facilities and cleanliness (very) well - only a shower mat we missed. Overall, the apartment is small, but nice (the bathroom is only suitable for slim people). One should have no delicate sleep: at the next corner is a student bar where it deep things get very noisy at night, not only on weekends. For this, the window really close very well and with the windows closed you can hear almost nothing. Very nice landlord who provides hold a lot of information. We would come again!
Sehr schönes Apartment in toller Lage - wirklich direkt im Kneipenviertel Bairro Alto gelegen. Ausstattung und Sauberkeit (sehr) gut - lediglich eine Duschmatte haben wir vermisst. Insgesamt ist die Wohnung klein, aber fein (das Bad ist nur für schlanke Menschen geeignet). Man sollte keinen empfindlichen Schlaf haben: an der nächsten Ecke ist eine Studentenbar, wo es nicht nur am Wochenende bis tief in die Nacht sehr laut hergeht. Dafür schließen die Fenster wirklich sehr gut und bei geschlossenem Fenster hört man fast nichts. Sehr nette Vermieter, die viele Informationen bereithalten. Wir würden wieder kommen!
Very nice Appartment. Everything was very clean when we arrived. You are in the centre off Lisbon and you can walk to everything. Perfect for couples or friends who love to do some Lisbon sightseeing.
Fantastic location in the most beautiful area of Lisbon.
Ubicación fantástica en la zona más bonita de Lisboa.
Estela and Pedro are truly great and lovely hosts. Estela greeted us with a bottle of wine on our arrival and gave us a lot of very helpful tips for our stay in Lisbon. They also were practically available 24/7 in case of any questions or problems. We are still amazed how fast they responded when we encountered a little problem with the shower (which was nothing really to worry about, anyway). We emailed them and it took Pedro not even half an hour to come by and solve the problem—on a Sunday evening! Even Superman would be jealous.
The apartment itself, although not very large, is cleverly and cozily designed and has everything one needs. We especially appreciated the air-conditioning during the hot days in July. As the apartment is situated in Bairro Alto, Lisbon's "party zone," it can get a bit noisy in the evening. However, closing the windows keeps the noise outside very effectively. Anyway, the apartment is perfectly situated if one wishes to enjoy the manifold bars and restaurants in Bairro Alto.
All in all, we can warmly recommend a stay at the apartment and express our thanks to Estela and Pedro, our wonderful and lovely hosts!
Super accueil. L'appartement est petit mais très bien aménagé. Très propre! Le quartier est en plein centre de la vie nocturne est à proximité de tout par un excellent système de transports publique.
A recommander sans hésitation!
Erg netjes. Leuk ingericht. Alles bij de hand. Kamer was nog niet klaar.maar konden de spullen al neer zetten. Dat was erg fijn.
Der Aufenthalt in Lissabon war toll! Das Appartement liegt sehr gut und auch der öffentliche Verkehr ist gut erreichbar. Die Wohnung ist jedoch relativ klein wenn aber dafür neu renoviert und sehr sauber. Die Wohnung liegt im Barviertel, der Lärm hält sich jedoch in Grenzen. Alles in allem würde ich dieses Appartement weiterempfehlen.
