3 Jul
Caught the 10.30 ferry to West Vancouver and made my way to Coquitlam and teed up the shipper for tomorrows pack up. Stayed in a nice camp/RV ground not far from the shipper and repacked for the next day. Solo celebration with a good Canadian beer and the best steak dinner I have ever had. I thought the one I had with VSP in Williams, AZ was good but this beat it hands down.
The adventure is now all but over. Tomorrow it is a hotel in downtown Vancouver.
The odo on the DR tells me that we did 13,500km together in 5 weeks. We chopped out two sets of tyres plus a sprocket and the chain will need replacing when the bike gets back. God knows how much fuel we went through. Everything worked as planned and nothing broke. I could have taken slightly less clothes - the 'fly home' clothes were hardly used. The merino wool T shirts were a life saver but my thin footy socks were to thin and were replaced with thick wool ones. I bought 2 T shirts and threw 2 out and I also had to replace my self inflating sleeping mat because my one of 25 years finally died. So I got back with no more stuff than I took over.
Canada and the north is expensive but camping out helped a lot. A warmer sleeping bag would also have helped as would warmer weather. I was thankful I had only 1 wet day. Seems I was lucky as this was not the experience of many I came across. I really went to early to benefit from seeing the flowers and wild life and this was not helped by spring being 'late'. The constant riding in forest in BC was just too much and a big let down. The Dempster hwy was a major highlight closely followed by the Denali hwy and the general Anchorage area. You cannot go this far north on an adventure bike and not go to Deadhorse but the Dempster for me was better. It is a riders paradise up north in Alaska and the Yukon. I will never ride BC again it is simply not worth the fuel cost. However Vancouver is a lovely city and on my last night there it was warm and the people seemed in a festive mood. I would come here again.
Many Canadians I met expressed a desire to come to New Zealand. Quite why I don't know. There is nothing we have that they do not have more of and better. Canada, at least the little I saw of it, and Alaska are magic places.

Last leg - Vancouver
Posted by Don Mardle at 11:16 PM 1 comment:
Vancouver Island
Inside Passage
The ferry left at 7.30am so it was an early rise and a painless embarkation. There were a couple of road bikers also embarking and they looked clean and washed. My bike and me looked looked like we had just come out of the bush. I suppose we had to some extent.
The boat trip was not as interesting as I had expected based on what others had said. If you have been through Queen Charlot sound in Marlborough then you have seen the inside passage. This one just happened to last 12 hours. All the same I was very relieved not to be riding to Vancouver so this was a relaxing day.
We arrived at Port Hardy at 10.45pm and it was pitch black so I put my tent up in the dark for the first time. No bugs.
Tue 1 July
Today is Canada day, it is warm and sunny so I stay the day. I wash my cloths and the bike and generally relax. At 7pm all the campers gathered together for cake to celebrate Canada day and just for good measure they had one with an American flag for the 4th of July. Interesting bunch of people. Many are here for the summer with their motorhomes while others seem to be permanent such as the ex biker who has turned to booze and Jan who is running away from a troubled past.
Wed 2 July
The ride to Nanaimo where I catch the ferry to the mainland is around 400 k so I take my time wandering down the coast and stay the night in a native american owned camp site right on the sea shore at Qualican. The weather is now pleasant and warm. Tomorrow I catch the ferry to the mainland.

Whitehorse to Prince Rupert
Three days for this leg. Tim Horton's is a coffee shop sort of in the Starbucks mould but better and is a Canadian institution. Had breakfast there in Whitehorse - not bad and with good coffee. It sure is popular with the locals.
Have decided to skip the icefields parkway and instead do the boat trip from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island. This means retracing my steps down the Cassier hwy so day one was the long trip back to Watson Lake, followed in day 2 the 440km to Bell II and day 3 into Prince Rupert. Nothing much to report en route. Was entertained by a fellow camper at Bell II with an endless supply of red wine and the cutest husky pup. Experienced the dark at night for the first time in a long while - I guess the land of the midnight sun has gone.
By now it is the end of Jun and in the intervening month the wild flowers are starting to appear. It is also noticeably warmer. The run from Terrace to the Port along the Sheena River was lovely and I get friendly with a tame crow.
Arrived at Port Hardy late afternoon and camped in an RV park next to the ferry terminal. Grumpy sour faced sods running the place but they had a shower.
It's been a tough few days what with getting little sleep at night due to the cold and the long distance travelled.

Met a couple of Kiwis in Dawson who were gold mining up here. They knew my sister-in-law Maud. Fitted sprocket and did laundry. Left Dawson by 1pm and made Whitehorse by 10pm. Back to being cold at night. Unspectacular ride.

Dempster Highway & Inuvik
Start of the Dempster Hwy
Walter on our tail
Arctic Circle in Canada
Welcome to Inuvik
Goodbye NWT. Hello Yukon
Fields of flowers
Farewells at Klondike Corner
The ride to Inuvik is a 4 day affair involving two overnight stops in Eagle Plains. It is a 1440km gravel road ride. By luck I picked up a travelers guide to the road which was excellent and made the whole event quite special. I also got to tag along with 3 Americans who were not scared of gravel roads and that added to the enjoyment. They in turn had picked up a trucker hauling 137,000 lbs of calcium chloride up to Ft McPherson. He is something of an amateur photographer and they caught him taking pictures of his truck - as you do. He is also an ice road trucker and promises to add some appropriate photos to his web site.
This road is quite unlike the Dalton where there are trees then tundra. Here it's tree, tundra then trees again. Much of the area shows the scars of ice age glaciation with U shaped valleys while further north it was to cold for glaciers and the area was covered in a layer of ice. The landscape is spectacular and visually more stunning than the Dalton. By now it is mid Jun and the warm weather produced fields of white flowers that at a distance looked like a covering of snow. Unfortunately there was little wildlife to be seen.
Mossies are real bad and drove us indoors at Eagle Plain.
There is a sign advising that you have arrived at the arctic circle and here most vehicles turn back to civilisation. Later there is a sign saying you have crossed into North West Territories. The ride is hot and dusty - in fact probably the first time I have felt warm on the whole journey.
Inuvik is the end of the Dempster hwy but as Walter, our trucker mate, will tell you, you can drive on the ice road in winter to the ocean. For us this is the end of the road. Strangely it is very hot - I would think maybe 30 degree C and we are 200 miles north of the arctic circle. We retreated to an air conditioned room and had beer and steak for dinner to celebrate.
The ride back to the Klondike junction (the other end of the Dempster) is just as enjoyable as the ride up. My bike turned over 20,000 km right on the farewell sign of the NWT.
I bad farewell to my riding companions, Frank, Dale and Mike and Walter the trucker who had caught us up once more. They were heading south to Whitehorse and I was going north back to Dawson to fit a new front sprocket. Oh and I met the Californian BMW pair for the 6th and final time.

Dust 2 Dawson
Site of the D2D dinner
There are over 120 bikers here for the D2D. Furtherest traveled came from Florida and there were three foreigners - Holland, Germany and NZ. Toured the town in the morning and the #4 dredge in the afternoon. Cleaned the bike.
D2D function in the evening with photo and sticker session at mid night.
Sat 21 Jun
Most of the guests in the B&B left this morning leaving 1 biker couple and me. Changed my rear tyre with the help of Dick, the owner of the Downtown Hotel, and the local NAPA tyre change facility. My U beaut tyre tool did not work. Dick proved to be a God send - he arranged for a sprocket to come from Vancouver to Dawson and the system worked. No one else managed to succeed at sorting it.
Found a grave yard of stern wheel paddle boats so spent time picking over the bones. At midnight (solstice) rode up Dome Hill to join the others in watching the sun trying to set. At midnight it was still high in the sky but by 1.30am it was just below the horizon. You need to be at the arctic circle for it to remain above the horizon.
All-in-all a relaxing day.

Tok to Dawson
Welcome to Canada
19 Jun
Rained last night and in the morning there were even more bodies and tents - so many in fact that I could not get out till most had left. Easy trip over the Top of the World hwy including a side trip to Eagle. The trip to Eagle was hardly worth it for what there was at the end but it was a nice scenic road in. Stopped at Chicken for the obligatory photo op and crossed back into Canada. Chicken is just a collection of 3 shops and down the road a bit a gas station and store. Caught the ferry over the Yukon into Dawson quite late in the evening to pre booked accommodation. Just as well - the town was pretty full. Met the Californian BMW pair again.
Today was a long day.

McCarthy to Tok
It was a long ride out of McCarthy to Chitina and an even longer one to Tok. I arrived around 9pm and took one of the standing tents at Eagles Claw. It is starting to rain and it will get cold during the night.
Decided to stay an extra night so spent the day catching up on laundry, another oil change (I've done 8,500 km to date) and I changed the front tyre. By mid afternoon the Californian BMW pair rode into town - this is the 4th time we have crossed paths - and we shared a beer on the side of the road.
More and more bikes were arriving in town, most were to stay the night and there was not a bed left in town. The Eagle Claw site filled to overflowing and we sat round a fire BSing till midnight. All the riders at Eagle Claw were heading towards Dawson for the Dust 2 Dawson solstice ride and had for the most part ridden in from Anchorage.

Valdez to McCarthy
16 Jun
Hung around Valdez all morning trying to get a sprocket delivered from Anchorage to Dawson. No luck at all. Visited the museum which was largely devoted to the stampeders heading to the Copper River gold fields* but there was a little on the oil spill tragedy - the Exxon Valdez. Seems the town now is at a relocated site thanks to an earthquake that destroyed the old town. I was in Valdez on a rare fine day. Valdez is also the terminal of the oil pipeline from Prudhoe bay, not that you can see anything of the tanker loading operation.
More glaciers en route to Chitina and McCarthy. McCarthy is a long way from Chitina where the tarseal ends and even then you have to negotiate a foot bridge to get to the town. Stayed at the back packers and spent the evening BSing with the other tourists. A couple of other bikes in town.
It's still daylight at midnight so you have to measure the time you spend awake.
Next day I spent most of the morning touring the old Kennicott mine. It was a copper mine and has long been abandoned by the owners but has been found by the tourists so is currently being made safe for visitors. A fascinating place. The story of the railway into the mine is equally fascinating. Today the rails have been removed and the road in is largely built on the old rail bed.
* The Copper River find appears to have been a hoax perpetrated by the shipping company that transported the hopefuls.

Seward to Valdez
Portage Glacier
I planned to take the ferry from Whittier to Valdez which proved to be a good choice. To get to Whittier you pass the Portage glacier and the associated info centre. The glacier has retreated quite some distance since 1911 when its terminal would have been at the info centre. You also have to pass through a long combined road & rail tunnel. There is a $12 fee for this and the bikes go through at the end of the car packet. They have obviously had some problems with bikers falling off or something because they give you a special bikers brief on how to ride through the thing. Contains helpful hints like 'don't ride on the rail lines' and 'remove your sunglasses'.
Whittier is the oddest town - there are almost no houses. Everyone lives in one or the other of two condos. There is an abandoned military 'condo' in town that tends to dominate the landscape. There were RV's everywhere but little sign of any tourists.
The ferry had only 28 people for the trip and there was a US Parks Service person on board giving a commentary. The captain took us off course to see the Colombia glacier, the terminal of which exits to sea. Sea is full of baby ice bergs from the glacier.
Arrived at Valdez at 8.30pm and stayed at the Eagle Nest RV park. 163k of riding today and the 6 hour boat trip was a nice relief from the constant riding.

14 Jun
A day from hell - it rained during the night and was bitterly cold and it was still cold and miserable in the morning. Headed towards Homer, which is a must see according to the Californian BMW lot, but I will never know. It hosed down and I could barely see ahead of the front wheel. Then my boots took in water. I got as far as Anchor Point, the most westerly point by road in the US and went no further. It was just to miserable. The weather improved heading north but it was still cold and overcast with a bitter wind in Seward. Towards evening the wind died down and I got the tent etc dried out. There is a nice public camp on the foreshore and it was full to bursting. There is a big tourist sightseeing system here and the thing to do is go halibut fishing. I settled for halibut and chips at a local cafe - nice fish
There really is a huge outdoor culture up here (Alaska) and as for Seward, I've been told "you wait till summer".
Front sprocket needs replacing - wished I had checked in Anchorage - though as it turned out it would have been no use since the Suzuki agent did not have one - this is KLR 650 and GS1200 territory. I've done 7,661km to date.

Kenai Peninsula
Barb's Alaska Leather
13 Jun
634 k today and to the Kenai Peninsula. Met the ever helpful Barb at Alaska Leather before heading down to Kenai where I intended to stay the night. Crap, it was cold and windswept so ended up in some rough state park by a lake. This whole peninsula is clearly the playground of Anchorage -ites. Heavy traffic and lots of RV's heading out for the weekend - it's Friday today. Had the most delightful pulled pork BBQ sub for dinner at a roadside caravan. If you like fishing then this is clearly the place - they line the banks of the Russian River like they do on the mouth of the Rakaia.

Denali Highway
Owner of last nights lodge was originally from Central and knew Sinful Cindy. It's a small world up here.
The Denali hwy is a short gravel road out of Paxon and heads towards Denali National Park. The mountains in the National Park slowly unfold with each corner and rise in the road and with the absence of traffic the road is a pleasure to ride. I spent a lot of time on this road just taking in the scenery. This is truly a great ride.
I am starting to see more RV's and motor homes as I get closer to Anchorage. My intention was to make Anchorage for the night but fell short by about 100 k so stayed at a cheap lodge/bar. Even here I met a guy who knew Sinful Cindy. 350 miles today. This about day 17 of the trip. Anchorage and the Kenai Peninsula tomorrow.

Did a bit of bike maintenance in the morning - chain took a battering on the Dalton. Breakfast of reindeer sausage (you are not supposed to call it caribou when you eat it) and met a delightful couple from Florida on a Goldwing. They are a long way from home for sure. Also met the party from Coldfoot - they still could not shed any light on why their friend died*. It turned out he was the organiser of their little adventure and the father of one the the other riders. All this in the breakfast cafe. Delightful ride to Paxon which is the start of the Denali hwy for me. I'm riding it this way because you ride towards Mt McKinley rather than away from it and if you get lucky might see it without cloud - no such luck. Met up again with the California BMW couples last seen at Telegraph creek.
Tyres only just holding out. I doubt that they will make it to Vancouver.
* In Anchorage, a few days later, I was told of this accident. By now the story had escalated to 'he had nowhere to go trying to dodge the traffic'. BS clearly travels at the speed of light.

Had breakfast in Coldfoot with a Canadian trucker and learned of the trials of running the Dalton in the winter - now I know why there are gaps in the armco in the Brooks mountains. Met up with a group of bikers on KLR's heading to Deadhorse who had one of their party ride off the road and die. They were arranging to fly the body back when I met them. They think he may have had a lapse of concentration or a heart attack - it was a straight road.
Ride into Fairbanks uneventful but missed the sign pointing to the arctic circle sign. I was keen to show what is behind the camera - picnic tables.
Spent $10 at a car wash trying to get the baked on calcium carbide off the bike. Also gave the riding gear a bit of a wash under a tap in the camping ground. Met the two bikes I saw at Deadhorse - recognised the Buell Ulysses.
Picture of bike and tent taken at 20 past midnight - without flash.

Only 500 miles to the next latte
9 Jun.
Foggy again this morning so delayed my departure till 10.30. Quite cold but fog lifted about 50 k down the road. By 2.30 PM I was on the south side of the continental divide and it was noticeably warmer. It sort of feels as if I've done the Dalton now that the trees are back but I am less than half way to Fairbanks. Stayed the night at Boreal Lodge in Wiseman and for $60 it was very nice. The residents confirmed that they built their house, generate their own electricity, heat the house via a huge wood burner and eat salmon and moose. And at -50 in the winter they dress 'appropriately'.
Have changed my itinerary. On local advice I will skip Central, Chena hot springs and a day in Denali. So I expect to be in Anchorage by the 12th to meet with Gavin's sister. I will add the Kenai peninsular instead.

Got to dabble my feet in the arctic ocean which was a little lame compared to the swimmer who jumped in quite unconcerned by the ice flow just off shore. This is as far north as I can go.
I farewelled my friend at about 6PM. He was going to ride back south during the "night" because the calcium carbide on the road would be hard. He accompanied a Colombian who we met at the Caribou Inn. The Colombian had just arrived from Fairbanks (about 500 miles south of here), got his picture taken as a trophy and was heading back. Is that what GS1200's do for you? As a postcript: he was to come to an unfortunate end about a week later with a crash that wrote his bike off.

Yukon River - Deadhorse
7 Jun
The Dalton hwy is a strange mix of gravel road with the odd section of tarseal. Quite why you would want tarseal up here beats me. The boreal forest finishes on this road and after the North Slope the tundra begins. At 5.30 pm the sun is still high in the sky, there is a cold wind and I have about 75 miles to go. The road is incredibly slippery and slushy in places but mostly it has a hard base. It would be a bitch in the rain. With 100 km to go I come across a stop sign on a side road – who thinks up this crap. Met one other biker on the road going my way but he is so petrified by the greasy surface I left him behind. At 7.45 pm I am just short of Deadhorse and 5,000 km north of Vancouver*, the sun is behind cloud and is now very cold. A couple of hardy Japanese push cyclists are making camp for the night beside a gravel mound. I have taken 2 days to get here, they must have been on the road for a week. Not much wild life about. Saw no Dall sheep in the mountains and only 3 caribou. Very little bird life and only the slightest sign of spring growth flora. It's also to early for the mossies - there are none at all, probably on account the lakes are frozen solid. There is one other biker at the Prudhoe Bay Hotel.
* To put this in perspective - this is over 5,000 k south of Invercargill and down around the Ross ice shelf.

Yukon River Camp
6 Jun
Froze to death last night – it is getting just a little to cold to camp comfortably. Not surprised really – the rivers are below 3 feet of snow and most water bodies are frozen. Lunch at Rika's Road House, a former ferry terminal over the Tanana River in Big Delta just north of Delta Junction. Also got my first glimpse of the oil pipeline. Headed north through Fairbanks, dinner at Fox with "Sinful Cindy"* and made it to Yukon River Camp on the Dalton hwy by 8 PM. YRC rough as guts - $99 for a room in a long barrack block with shared facilities and no TV. First crossing of the Yukon river - there would be many more before the trip ends. Mossies are real bad. 540km today.
* She is known locally by that name and has something of a reputation as a firebrand.

Tok - Alaska
5 Jun
Never really got dark last night and ride to Tok was cold. Crossed the border into Alaska proper just south of Tok so this is the end of BC for a while. Saw both black and grizzly bears today and almost got run down by a moose that jumped out from the undergrowth. Staying at Thompson's Eagles Claw motorcycle park run by a couple of motorcyclists for motorcyclists. They have tent sites and some fixed accommodation blocks and a workshop for visitors. Changed oil – 4022 km to date. On target date wise so have made up for delayed start in Vancouver. Tok is a cluster of shops and services on an intersection. One way goes to Anchorage and the other to Fairbanks. There is a relaxed and casual feel about the place.
Met the guy with the Ultra on the back of his truck. Sure beats an F150. Seems he got sick of 10 years on the haul road so is heading to the lower 48 to start a bike moving business.

Have been on the road for a week now and it has been one big forest except for yesterday and today. Very cold coming back over the mountains out of Skagway – misty – but warmed up by the time I pitched the tend at Congdon by lake Kluane. Wind blowing so no mossies and visor clean for first time. Told that there are lots of bikers on the road, not that I have seen any. These camp grounds are pretty rough and not worth the $10 the Yukon govt wants for the pleasure of your company. 440 k today.
Posted by Don Mardle at 7:30 PM
3 Jun
It's getting colder and not helped much by being overcast. Ride into Skagway was excellent but freezing especially over the mountain pass. All the lakes and rivers are still frozen over but the sun was out so was not so bad. Crossed into the US today for the first time. I had all these documents for the bike and they were not remotely interested. Seems that if the bike is OK for Canada it is OK to them. All the official did was stamp my passport with a picture of a steam train. I found out the significance in the afternoon - there is a historic train ride into the mountains.
There are 4 cruise ships in town – this is a tourist town, big time. I gather that most of the retail stores are also owned by the shipping line. Stayed at Sgt Preston's Lodge – expensive but nice and warm after lasts nights shiver. Took side trip to Dyea, the entry point of the 1898 Klondikers heading to the gold fields. 420 ks today. Had dinner with another biker on an F650 also staying at Sgt Preston's.

SALT LAKE CITY – Carmelo Anthony ran up and down the court, took jumpers and showed improvement in his lateral movement during the Knicks' shootaround Monday at EnergySolutions Arena. Then, for the first time in nearly a week, he spoke to reporters and explained how he felt after having fluid drained from his sore right knee Friday.
Anthony will not play Monday night against the Utah Jazz, the final game of the Knicks' five-game western road trip. So far, the Knicks are 0-4 on the trip. The team's plan is that by resting Anthony on Monday, he will be able to get more strength in his right leg.
Anthony said that he felt no discomfort in his knee and that he should be able to play Wednesday against the Orlando Magic at Madison Square Garden.
"I feel better," Anthony told reporters. "I feel much better."
Anthony also acknowledged that doctors in New York told him the fluid that had developed in the back of the knee was most likely caused by a slight hamstring pull. Anthony was pleased to know his injury did not create structural damage.
"Now it's just a matter of getting that pop back, that power back," he told reporters. He added, "My knee feels good, my body feels good."

Say Cheese!
Her date was a friend of two years, Cameron. Cam asked Jade after his "girlfriend" said she couldn't go. Well, that became a little bit of drama at the dance when Cameron spotted his girlfriend across the dance floor with another date!( umm...did she really think he wouldn't know? I guess when you are 16 years old you don't think things ALL the way through) Jade was a good sport as Cameron left her with a group of his friends to question and solve his personal problem. Jade felt it worked out well because one of Cameron's friends, Jace, asked her to dance after he was ditched by his date and she is now thinking Jace is pretty cute!
This brought back a flood of memories...I too was ditched by my date at Jr. prom. My date had gone out with pretty much every girl in our high school so when he went missing I was not totally surprised. Life went on, I found some friends and went on to enjoy my prom. I loved my dress that year!
Being ditched is not such a bad thing. In the end you learn that you have to adapt to your situation and move forward...Life gives you many opprotunities to learn to move on , move forward and make the best of it. I am glad Jade is learning this valuable lesson now.
Jade you are a doll and I love that when I asked you how the dance was you said
"It was soooo FUN!". Your first response was so positive before the details of the night came. Way to look at things. Jade made Cam brownies today and wrote him a thank you note, holding no grudge and continuing to be friends with him.

Girl group 4minute have reached 4 years old since their debut. The ladies who have entered the entertainment industry with their debut track 'Hot Issue' have risen to popularity, showing remarkable growth with their past activities, and is a group that we can really anticipate in the future.
On the 18th, Cube Entertainment Ahn HyoJin Marketing Team Leader spoke with the press, "It's 4minute's 4th year anniversary. For a group with a 5 years difference, they have had many and different turning points, but 4minute have received good comments such as showing an even more mature look, and we think it is even meaningful to gain such responses", he revealed.
In fact, 4minute has released their mini album 'Nams Is 4minute' on April 26th, making a comeback after a year of blank period. Their title song 'What's Your Name?' latched onto the highest peak of the entertainment industry. It doesn't stop there, the longer they are, they more they hope to create a 'going against the flow' phenomenon in climbing the charts.
4minute's talents and popularity are growing at the same pace.
4minute who have tightly filling up these 4 years, have confirmed their very own colors with 'What's Your Name'. The representative expressed that the precious achievement came because (the song and concept) lived the members' personalities.
Ahn HyoJin Marketing Team Leader continued, "'What's Your Name' promotions were not limited to only those in their teens, but it also managed to attract loves from people of different ages. We're happy to hear that", and "We feel that the hard efforts made by the members are starting to shine."
He continued, "The members are currently expanding their capabilities. They are learning on how to compose, act, perform, playing instruments and many more. Their diligence is to an amazing extent," he added.
On the same day, member Kwon SoHyun wrote on her twitter, "It's 4minute's 4th debut anniversary. Time seems to pass very quickly. Thank you for always supporting and looking after us by our sides. We will work hard in the future too", expressing her thoughts on their 4 years anniversary. It seems that 4minute will be even more promising in the future.

What is Hidden
In a land of masquerades and mystery, Evie is a mask maker in Venesia, where masks represent rank and identity. When a cryptic bandit strips away Evie's mask and destroys her home, she goes into hiding at the palace to find both a new identity—and revenge. Fantasy lovers will be caught up by the mystique, romance, and magic of What Is Hidden.
Lauren Skidmore grew up in Kansas, with stints in Ohio and New York, and currently lives in Utah. She attended Brigham Young University where she earned a BA in English Teaching with an emphasis in Teaching English as a Second Language and Japanese. She then spent a year in Japan teaching and travelling. She hasn't made it to Europe yet, but it's on the list and has been to 30 states in the U.S. so far. When she's not exploring new places, you can probably find her on the internet with fifteen windows open and looking at just one more thing before actually getting something done.
This is my first read by Lauren Skidmore, and I believe her debut novel, so Congratulations!
This reads as a clean romance with an element of suspense, genre wise, so keep that in mind.
It is easy to engage with the characters. Evie is strong, talented, smart, resilient, and independent. All the things I like in a heroine. The hero's a good catch too! But, I won't spoil Aiden for you. The romance stems from a solid friendship and it's easy to see when the lines get blurry.
I was thrilled with the setting - an old version of Venice. Not surprising, given my love of all things Italian. I found the concept of the masks and the aversion to having one's face seen intriguing. The masks worn by the people in this society reveal loads about what they do and who they are. The cover is gorgeous!
The writing, pacing, and character development are all up to snuff. The descriptions really add to the beauty of the book.
I have just a few questions regarding the ending. And these aren't true spoilers, but you can skip them if you're concerned. What happened to the Chameleon? And, who was the girl with him? Where is the girl he searched for and why did he blame the prince for her disappearance? Who did he work for? Will someone else take his place? I don't like lose ends, especially in mysteries. They bug me. So, now I'm wondering if there will be a sequel to answer my questions. Sigh.
I hope to read more from Ms. Skidmore. She's totally made me a fan.

Lucknow: The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) workers stage protest against senior Samajwadi Party (SP) leader and Urban Development Minister Azam Khan of Uttar Pradesh government by beating his effigy with slippers and then putting it on fire over his objectionable remark against Dr Ambedkar.
The BJP workers stage demonstrations across the state on Wednesday against Cabinet Minister Azam for his alleged objectionable remark against Dr Ambedkar.
Azam without naming Dr Bhimrao on Monday in Ghaziabad had said: "The statue (of Ambedkar) pointing its finger into the distance seems to say that not only does it own the plot of land on which it stands, but also the one towards which it points its finger."
The party will stage dharnas in all districts while raising slogans like 'Baba sahab ke samman mein, BJP maidan mein'. A delegation will also submit a memorandum to Governor Ram Naik.
State BJP president Keshav Prasad Maurya, demanded that Akhilesh Yadav should remove Azam from his cabinet and also sought a public apology.
Maurya, said in a statement, silence of BSP proves that it is hand-in-gloves with the ruling SP.

I'm happy to see that it hasn't been quite as long as I'd thought since I posted to this blog. I'm thrilled, actually, because it's seemed like years. And for me the past 6 months have been basically an eternal horror show, but maybe more on that later.
For this re-inaugural post, I'd just like to point out my very first post and say "ripped from the headlines"? Try pasted in to the headlines, or crowbarred in, or grafittied in, or something.
How about a total news black out, on the trial of a man, a "doctor" accused of multiple murders.
Kermit Gosnell, MD a person who kept the feet of the fetuses whose demises he assured in glass jars; a man who has no defenders left, except for those in the mainstream media.

What does it mean to you-
Glimpsing eternity in a day?
Would you turn me over to this boy,
Azure and emerald burning in his eyes?
It is the next week.
He is not here, but you remember every exchange.
I race along to the rythym of his kindness in
Each letter you grasp so tightly.
Those were golden-ish days, when the mail came.
I felt calm then as your mind studied each line.
Yet something began crumbling underneath...
Where went the lovely colors?
What does it do to you-
Sitting in the same room, with heads so close?
Breathing in his silent company
While the clock ticks tirelessly on?
Do his perfect lips just haunt your dreams?
The cavity wherein I sleep pulses heavily
As the ringing by your bedside begins...
His voice awaits your "hello."
Blue and gold hues seep slowly back through
As he tilts his head to your shoulder-
And up towards the sandy midnight air
Where satellites and flying debris grace the sky.
How does it turn you like so-
A small moment shared by your two bodies
Close together on the black grass.
He watches you breathe as your eyes close.
And it is at this point in time
That the heavens send their sign-
Lightning down his throat,
Thunder through my veins.
I feel the way it burns you in and out-
Yellow, purple, and crimson tones...
Hallelujah for damage to the old pride;
It is saving grace that he holds.

- Progressives are painted with a broad brush [by those awful conservatives] as villains who are (unintentionally) [certainly intentionally] leading the church astray.
- People are afraid. [He means conservatives are cowardly: For bravery you have to look to the liberals] The world is changing, and changing faster than ever before. Many Christians have retreated to the church as the last bastion to resist change.
- if conservatives… push through some of their fundamentalist legislative moves, or if they are able to continue pushing out progressive thinkers and pastors, then the results will be dire [Why exactly will there be dire consequences? Notice he will contradict himself later when he says progressives just leave quietly… but here they are "pushed out"].
- We will be an increasingly aged denomination in terms of members, strategies, and thoughts. [Translation: Only old, stupid people are conservatives].
- Because discontented people on the right have a high confidence that their view is the only real truth, they tend to be averse to compromise or merger. [Here he could be suggesting one of two things. Either: A) Conservatives are incorrect about their view on truth, or B) There are multiple "truths" all equally valid. If the former, he is merely restating his point that Conservatives are wrong and he is right. If the latter, he is impossibly confused and shouldn't reasonably expect anyone to care about anything he writes.]
- if the conservatives win, we'll likely get an old and dying church operating with a fortress mentality, actively engaging a losing battle against heathens and liberals alike. [Translation: conservatives are failures, wrong, old, and dying]
- Conservatives are likely to feel a moral obligation to protect the essential doctrines and to separate the wheat from the weeds within the church. [While this is true, I am fairly certain that from within the context, it means, not that Conservatives are right, only that they will push out the progressives. Of course, in theory the progressives vote with their feet… but what's a minor contradiction when you are painting such an honest picture of your opponents?]
- Of course this is the more difficult path. It requires humility, patience, listening, power-sharing, and courage – all in short supply in today's hyper-politicized landscape. [Now we see how patient and humble our author is in the way he paints his pictures. Who has courage? Only those willing to push past the boundaries and accede to progressive thought. Who has humility? Those who tolerate the progressives. This is a grand gesture to try and push his thought further. This is deceitful and slimy, which is certainly a hallmark of these liberal writers. Their god is their belly and it shows in the loose way they handle truth.]
- , younger Nazarenes and older progressives find themselves more and more unwelcome in the church that raised them. Many have voted with their feet by migrating to less restrictive denominations or even to no church at all. [The violins are weeping… how could you darn conservatives? You pushed out these genteel humble souls and hurt their feelings! We are meant here to put sympathy in lieu of our reason. Here we also see here one example that these are voting with their feet, not being pushed out as earlier described.]
- The exodus of young, academic, and progressive Nazarenes will increase exponentially. [Because only old, non-academic Nazarenes are conservative. Could this be more insulting?]
- Then, the Church of the Nazarene will continue to bleed our youngest and brightest to other denominations who will be happy to take them. [Of course it can be more insulting. Notice who is the best and brightest? Not the conservatives. Here we see the hubris of the author in full bloom. I am smarter than everyone else, he screams. And here! Look at how humble I am!… No. You are not either of these.]
- Discontented progressives, on the other hand, tend to leave more quietly and merge with other groups that have space for their views. [I thought they got pushed, forced, coerced, and beaten out of their assemblies by the merciless hatchet-men conservatives?]
- many young and forward-thinking leaders want the Church of the Nazarene to catch up with the times. [Another abuse of terms with the goal of saying what conservatives are not by implication. In order to be clear, in order to be forward –thinking, you should be espousing a view that is new. Not a rehashed version of old heresies. If you do that, you are technically backward thinking. Hence progressivism, in its return to ancient idolatry, cannot look forward to God, only back at man.]
- ready for swift movement on issues such as alcohol, racial reconciliation, social justice, creation care, revising our doctrine of sanctification, and softening our stance on homosexuality and gay marriage [And there it is. They want to keep in step with the culture and the sin of the day.]
- the progressives finally achieve two of their longstanding dreams: (1) Equal representation from all Nazarenes around the globe, and (2) The right for each region to define certain ethical standards. [The progressives just want equality… can't we all get behind equality? Bear in mind that this idea of equality is more akin to Marxist dogma than Christ's]
- Progressives face a problematic situation of believing strongly in the value of diverse leadership for the Church of the Nazarene [Diverse or Adverse? There is a difference, and it seems the liberals prefer the latter. The Bible does not teach diversity in the sense that is meant here. Remember that "one mind" and "mind of Christ" nonsense?]
- This requires all of us – including this somewhat prophetic instigator – to tone down our rhetoric, to tune in for deep listening, and to value the perspective and presence of those with whom we have profound disagreements. Difficult, yes. Impossible, no. [Not sure what is prophetic about these words. Let's truly be clear, he doesn't mean that he has any plans of valuing the perspective of the horrible conservative people he wrote about earlier. This is really a plea for those people to give in, or else feel really bad about how unloving they must be]
- We have tolerance written into at least two of our articles of faith. [Tolerance of pedophilia? Let's be clear, If homosexuality is cool and it IS mentioned in the Bible, then something not mentioned in the Bible like Pedophilia certainly ought to be applauded. It has it all, bravery, sexual dysfunction, sad memes, you name it! Liberals for Inter-generational Love!]
- We are an extremely diverse global denomination
- We are essentially moderates. From the beginning, we have been neither fundamentalists nor liberals, neither traditionalists nor radicals.
- Embracing diversity is part of our Nazarene DNA.
- We'll learn to listen. We'll learn to share power. We'll learn to value the other.
- We'll learn to be the Church. [At this point it is basically clear that this individual is not interested in anything but using sweet sounding words to convince easily duped people to follow him into error. This is not the brand of dialogue one would expect from a Christian. Indeed, it is clearly not from a Christian. This is a wolf in sheep's clothing]
Just a final word on this article. This article is quite similar to some of the ones I have reviewed lately. I am definitely seeing some form of correlation between parties. I don't know if there is a club these cats belong to, or they are reading from the same Matthew Vines nonsense. But the pattern is the same. It employs a deceitful pattern to try and argue for a view of sin that is incompatible with Grace or the Gospel. I do not believe that anyone so cleverly attempting to write like this is unaware of what they are doing, hence I have no problem saying that this person has never met God. He may have heard about him in a class at school, but he has never submitted himself to that absolute authority, instead holding back some autonomy for himself.
Also, I am not a Nazarene. I find their teachings on Election to be heretical along with all other Wesleyan tradition churches. I personally believe this view is at the heart of their problem although I doubt you could ever convince one of them of this. Someday I'll tackle that issue but not today.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Full with Keygen
Posted by Admin | Friday, March 18, 2011 9 comments
What new territory is there to explore with Web-design software? With so many of the essential foundations in place, there's not much justification for changing anything except the adding or improving of support for emerging technologies. The upside of this is that when you have a solid, thorough product, like Adobe's Dreamweaver, it's hard to go too far wrong with any developments—as the CS5 version ($399 list new, $199 list upgrade) proves. Most of its changes won't be visible to—or even detectable by—novices, but that's okay. What might be more of a problem with this version, the most complete and complex yet, is its suitability for novices at all.
What's new in Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 :
- Integrated CMS support
- Experiment with HTML5
- Integration with Adobe BrowserLab
- PHP custom class code hinting
- Integration with Business Catalyst
- Subversion support
- Site-specific code hinting
- Simple site setup
- CSS starter pages

Sorry folks for not getting anything posted for awhile. Soon after I first started this blog last year, my father became ill and I spent the rest of the year caring for him. Now that my days are again free to blog, I wanted to remind everyone that it's flea, tick and heartworm time again!
It is vital to make sure your puppy or dog is on a monthly regiment of heartworm control. There are several brands on the market. Discuss this with your vet. You will need to purchase it at the vets' office or get a prescription for it if you are ordering it online. Canines get heartworms from mosquito's that carry the parasite. When the mosquito bites your dog, it deposits the parasite into your dog (the host) where it nurtures and grows eventually becoming fatal to your dog. Even though you don't think mosquitos are in the neighborhood, rest assured....THEY ARE. Heartguard is an excellent and easy product to administer for the prevention of heartworms in canines.
It's also very important to keep fleas and ticks under control! A dog can become very ill due to flea infestation and it is very uncomfortable for your pet to be bitten constantly by fleas or having fleas and ticks feed on their blood. Some dogs can become anemic and fatally ill if severly infested. There are several brands of flea and tick control available.
I have personally found that Frontine administered once a month works very efficiently. Buying it in a 3 or 6 month pack will save you quite a bit of money in the long run.
Some vet's will give you a free puppy pack with these two items included in it when you take your puppy in to the office for first exam and immunizations.
You can also purchase FRONTLINE from the Link on the upper left of this page!
Here is a link to a cute video of our German Shepherd puppy litter in Nov. 08.

Soul Crew's Syuen Hotel Performance
Soul Crew had been invited to perform for PROM NIGHT entitled POLIO-FREE FOR ALL.
Yeah! The crew did a great job but one thing whack is the audience, Dead Crowd!! No matter how good the performances were, the crowd doesn't know how to cheer and clap hands. Not only for our performance, for other performance too.
Anyways, this time, all of the members performed, except for Furuya due to some reason.

家好月圆 Steamboat Reunion
|家好月圆 Steamboat Reunion
On the 9th Of September 2010, our family had a reunion at Goodtimes Steamboat. The one near Tower Regency Hotel. Why we choose here? It is simply because this place is the place where we had our first Steamboat together. It brings back a lot of memories.
There was an uncle. He ask for donations of any amount and he will give 2 packets of tissue and play a song using his 'Erhu' or harmonica. He played a song named 'Auld Lang Syne' in english or 'Friendnship Forever' in chinese. It perfectly suits the environment there.

I'm Officially Back~
Back to topic, I'm officially back. Haha. Just before I get myself back to do revision and some catching up to do on my form6 assignments and revisions, I hang out with some of my PLKN friends yesterday. Some of my friends from PLKN came down to Ipoh to visit Ipoh. First stop was Ipoh Parade. Phylbert and Joseph decided to buy something for Leon's mom for her hospitallity. Phylbert is from KL and Joseph is from Kuching. They both lived in Leon's house while they are in Ipoh. By the way, I found some DVD's in Speedy Video, NOT SUITABLE FOR MUSLIM.
Yeah, Jospeh bought me a Holy Bible at Glad Sounds. Thanks Joseph for the Holy Bible. Really appreciate it. =)
Next stop was Old Town Nam Heong Kopitiam. As Leon was incharge of our activities, he brought us to this kopitiam. So, we told Phylbert and Joseph about this kopitiam's history. Ipoh guys and girls, I bet u guys and girls know the history, so I no need to explain here...HEHE
Some snap shot when we are in Nam Heong Kopitiam

Form 6 Orientation
ALright this morning i went school for Form 6 Orientation and Registeration. Arrived at school at around 9.30am. Saw lots of friends. It did cheer me up coz I never met them for so long after SPM. Saw Kelly Cheng in SMI also. Long time din saw her already. Hehe. Can consider a long lost friend. LOL.
Many Of my heng dai was back to Form 6. Kar Heng, Xinh Guan, Beh, Ivan,Haw Tung, Joe Hang and Phang. I did some stupid things when i first back to school today.
No.1 (Yoon Hong: Wah, u no hair wor~ Me: Wah, u got hair wor~)
No.2 (Yoon Hong: I chop u Me: blek, die lu~)
OK, after doing some crappy things with Yoon Hong, Back to business. All Lower Sixers went into the hall at 10am to be exact because we are given 30 minutes for recess after registeration. Went into the hall and listen to what teachers say and so on. Speeches from the principal to the Form 6 teachers.
After the speeches, there were games. Actually one game. SPLIT BANANA. Heng Jian was the first victim. Then, They even drag some girls and boys to play along. Below are some random pics of them.
School ends at 1.05pm. Then Joe Hang, Beh, Ivan , Phang and I together go Burger King for Lunch. Hehe.
Whooper Jr BK Stunner only cost rm6.25(after tax)
Ivan And Me
Phang And Beh
If you guys are wondering why there's no picture of Joe Hang, he deleted his picture from my phone. I captured a very funny pic of his. Then he sntched my phoe and deleted it..Huh~ LOL
After having lunch, we all go back to our house.
Thats all for this time.

Back to topic~ Why tension? I TENSION is simply because SOHAI PLKN DOESN"T ALLOW PPL WHO GO FORM6 FOR PELEPASAN AWAL!!!! They force us to stay till the end of PLKN 2nd batch which is on the 12th Of June 2010. And this SHIT over here causes those who are going for Form6 to miss 1 whole month of lesson...And who is going to be responsible for this? Form6 is hard u know...Since they can let those who are going for A levels, Matrics,College and University for pelepasan awal, why not FORM6?
And so wat to do? I really hope there's gonna be chnages about this SHIT here. My opinion is LET THOSE WHO ARE GOING FOR FORM6 for PELEPASAN AWAL also!!!

I'm Back~
First of all, going college. Can I be in the same college with her? I don't want to be seperated with her. It breaks my heart if that really happens. I like the way now. Keeping in touch with her. Hang out with her. I don't want to lose this. Hard to explain my feeling now.
Second of all, going back to SMI for Form 6. Form 6 is tough. Menas, you must realy focus on your study in order to survive it. You got one C- in ur STPM results, then you confirm cannot go university. You must start all over again by going to college and take diploma courses like most of the Form 5 graduates do. Means you waste 2 years again. But if u are really rich or something, this doesn't bother you as you can pay your way out of this misarable fact. Too bad i'm not rich.
In my mind I really want to further my studies in College. Being a GRAPHIC DESIGNER is what i want. But my dad ask me to go for Form 6.
There are a few more things bothering me but i' not gonna write in here. I'll just keep it to myself.


text: My respect to Dr. Double Love Temple who accepted and took me like daughter when I was stranded, His Love Temple gave me hope and much reason to believe in LOVE. He showed and proved to me that there is nothing bad getting back my Ex-boyfriend. I took it as a challenge to win back his heart (though he caused the breakup, but I still love him). Dr. Double read my heart and connected to Ex-boyfriend and found out that he still LOVES me but he is so distracted by other women before starting the work on us. I started sleeping and having good dreams immediately Dr. started the spell, I felt so much energy and boldness within me for the five days it took him to complete the spell. My respect goes to Dr. Double and family especially to his Daughter who keeps encouraging me personally on phone, she gave me good advices when I lost hope on process of the spell, I was expecting easy result, but good stuffs don't just appear immediately without taking time to manifest. I got the result on the seventh day and we now understand LOVE and how to LOVE. We are not blinded anymore to recognize how beautiful our relationship is. Love is indeed beautiful and I am reunited with my soul mate with the help of one man and his beautiful family named Dr.Double via email@example.com. Remain blessed Sir as you continue doing the good work that you are called for.Thank you Dr Double.

Leeds United are struggling in the Championship at the moment.
Noel Whelan said on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (broadcast from 6pm, March 4) that Leeds United should not take anything for granted.
The former Leeds striker suggested that the West Yorkshire outfit should not consider themselves safe from relegation from the Championship until they have enough points.
"No, I can't, but you take nothing for granted in football, especially in this league," said Whelen on The Noel Whelan Show on BBC Radio Leeds on Friday evening (broadcast from 6pm, March 4).
"It is a very difficult competitive division to be in. You have got to get the points and mathematically make sure you are out of touch by anybody at the bottom.
"Then we can start building for next season, but you look ahead no further than tomorrow's game."
Leeds are 18th in the Championship table at the moment with 38 points from 33 matches.
The Whites are just nine points above the relegation zone, but they do have a game in hand.
The West Yorkshire outfit have a squad good enough to finish above the bottom three, but as Whelan suggests, they should not take anything for granted.
Leeds's performance and results in recent weeks have been disappointing, and they need to pick up all there points this weekend.
Steve Evans's side will take on Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Bolton are currently second from bottom in the standings, and Leeds fans will expect their team to win the game.

Kids, you may find this hard to believe but, Once Upon a Time, Mommy and Daddy went out at night. A lot. Almost every night, in fact. What's more, there was a time when Mommy and Daddy didn't even know each other. I know. Crazy, right?
One night, I believe it was about three days following the end of the Paleolithic Era (also known as sixteen years ago today), Mommy walked into a pool hall to visit a friend. A pool hall? It's a place where you play pool with your friends and drink…apple juice. Turns out, Daddy knew my friend, too, and he sat down beside me and introduced himself. He looked handsome with his pony-tail (yes, a pony-tail) and Structure button-down shirt. Structure? They made shirts for cool people. Daddy was cool back then. Anyway, he laughed at my nervous jokes and we found that we liked the same music. He asked me if he could take me out to dinner the next night:
Daddy: "Can I take you to dinner tomorrow?"
Mommy: "I'd like that." (Then Mommy remembers she had a family dinner. Mommy's heart begins to pound) "Wait, I can't. I have a family thing." He'll never believe that. He thinks I don't like him.
Daddy: "Lunch, then?"
Mommy: Oh, no!! "I can't. I have plans with my roommate."
Daddy: "Coffee? After your family thing?"
Mommy: Yes! Yes I can do that! "Yes! Yes I can do that!"
We didn't wind up having coffee, but that's a story for another day.
So kids, that's how I met your father. From the moment he sat down beside me sixteen years ago, we've been in love.
Stop making faces.
So tonight you'll stay here with Grandma. Daddy's going to take me out to a fancy dinner to celebrate, and then to one of our all-time favorite places: Middle Earth. Yes, that's where the Hobbits live. No, you can't come with us. Grown-up nerds only.
(Happy anniversary, Jared. I love you 🙂

Across a crowded room
where some were celebrating
but we only came to be out of the rain,
I tried to ignore your eyes.
I thought I didn't know your eyes then
yet they knew me
and they were smiling at me,
so I looked back.
I must have remembered you
from another life
or from a glimpse into the future.
We stepped out into the rain together.
No one missed us at the party.

Longo, Eastwood, Anthony To Retire
The City Council on Tuesday approved a set of separation packages for five retiring department heads, a move that will save the city at least $145,000 over the next two fiscal years. Recreation Director Steve Anthony, Parks Director Doug Eastwood (pictured), Police Chief Wayne Longo, Human Resources Director Pam MacDonald and Planning Director Dave Yadon each have accepted packages. Their retirements will be staggered over two years, beginning the second half of 2013. "These are members of our executive team and we will be sad to see them go," said Wendy Gabriel, city administrator. "But by accepting these incentive packages, they are allowing us to plan ahead for their succession." The city's Separation Incentive Proposal has been used effectively through several previous rounds of early retirements/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
Question: I simply can't imagine Coeur d'Alene without Doug Eastwood & Steve Anthony running the parks & recreations departments. Can you?

If you've ever made a case for a pistol or tool you're probably familiar with the term "French Fit". Then, had you tried this technique you'd know that it's not an easy process to do -- very time consuming as you make layers of wood that taper to match the contours or else sculpt an opening in a solid board to fit an object. This is something I've wanted to do for my dovetail and small crosscut saw but the time to do it has never seemed to be right! Enter Kaizen Foam a new product from Fastcap I happened to run across while checking out the web. Here's the final result:
|Kaizen Foam Insert in Tool Chest
The process is pretty straight forward. The first step is to position the tool where you want it to be. I used some painters tape to align the saw to the edge.
|Position Your Tool
|Initial Cutting
|Guided Straight Cuts
|Removing the Layers
|More Depth Needed Here
|Customizing the Fit
So the question remains, will this replace a French Fit case for a pistol, musical instrument, or tool? Not in my estimation. It certainly makes fitting an object securely into a box or drawer much easier but lacks the finesse you may want when building a pistol case or other application. I have a till at the top of this case where I keep my good planes and may add a piece of the foam there as well to cushion them and keep them from touching one and other.

Star Trek III Posters
The Search for Spock usually gets labeled as one of the bad Star Trek movies. This, however, is not true. It got sandwiched between the best Star Trek movie ever made (and one of the finest film ever made) and the franchise's highest grossing film until First Contact. As a result it gets lost in the mix. It has an exciting and well crafted story. And as Star Trek villians go, Christopher Lloyd's Kruge is second only to Khan.

domRemote v1.1.27 on the Play Store
Dear All,
the new version 1.1.27 comes with a few small changes.
First it gives support for DALI interface module and the DPBL0x buttons (Lithoss range buttons).
Secondly the IP camera handling was modified a little bit. You still can add custom IP cameras, but also the IP cameras registered with the Master are listed now in the Modul list, and you can add the DVIP0x cameras as controller. These cameras support JPG picture, and the URL is also copied into the Controller Editor, meaning you can watch the JPG picture of the DVIP0x camera from domRemote.
On newer Android versions (3.1+, API version 12+) RTSP video stream is also available, therefore you can add IP cameras with RTSP support (MPEG4 video stream). However capturing still images from an RTSP video stream might not work at all, as the code relays on libraries implemented by various manufacturers, so taking a pictrue might work on a Samsung device, but not working on a HTC or so.
There has been some change in the Landscape layout for the 10″+ devices, the listview has been replaced with a 2 column gridview (check out the updated pictures on the Play Store for 10″ tablets). I hope this will give a little bit more overview about the controllers, and give a better user experience.
The AMP modul controller (Radio module) was bad on extra large screens, this has also now been fixed.
