We love Christmas music. Over the years we have collected thousands of carols and songs on our ipod. We love it all, from traditional hymns to rock and pop standards. We even love the more esoteric music of the holiday, like Less than Jake's punk rock version of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, and Reggae star Eek-A-Mouse's drugged out version of The Night Before Christmas.
Yet there is a small often overlooked genre of holiday tunes that is a favorite of ours: songs about running away to a tropical beach in Mexico and the Caribbean. We, and many others it seems, prefer our white Christmas to be made of sun bleached sand instead of snow. We like to hang our Christmas lights from our palm thatch palapas instead of storm gutters. Santa hats are worn with swimsuits, and on Christmas Eve we still remember to leave a little something for Santa… although we set out a margarita instead of cookies (the old boy seems to prefer them with a salted rim, over ice instead of blended).
Of course we know everyone can't go on a tropical vacation at Christmastime, so as a present for our friends stuck in chillier climates, here are a few of our favorite "Christmas on a beach in Mexico" holiday tunes. We hope they bring a little Mexican-Caribe sun and warmth into your holiday celebrations.
Christmas in the Caribbean
First on our list comes from the King of the Tropical Troubadours, Jimmy Buffett. This song contains all the iconic images one expects from a holiday season in paradise: "snowbirds" filling the air, Santa on a dolphin, stockings hung from a boat's mast. Most of all it reminds the listener why life, and Christmas, is better in the tropics: because down here "we don't live in a hurry."
All I Want for Christmas is a Real Good Tan
Kenny Chesney convinces his girlfriend (and the rest of us) that two tickets to a tropical shore is the best present he can get. A new bikini, toes in the sand and grilled mahi-mahi are Kenny's suggestions as the best way to celebrate the season.
Christmas in Mexico
Key West entertainer Brent Burns says the best way to get over a broken heart is to head south of the border for the holidays. Since he says, "I try never to offend anyone wearing a thong," he fits right in. When Brent meets a "pretty señorita" he concludes that "dancing by the pool, it's hard to go wrong."
Santa's Going South (to Mexico)
Toby Keith and Sammy Hagar let the secret out: Santa's "too old to take this much cold." He is heading to Mexico this year. It's all about "jet skis, margaritas and palm trees" for Christmas. So the boys are joining him by grabbing a "first class non-stop down Mexico way."
|Ho Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rhum
Jimmy Buffett again; this time he is telling the story of poor Santa who is "tired of the whole reindeer scene." Santa wants to turn into a pirate and "dance with a sword in the sand." He decides he needs rum, steel drums and the Caribbean… and so away he goes.
We hope these tunes help brighten your holiday. And we leave you with one more song: Mexico's very popular singer Luis Miguel singing
"I'll be Home for Christmas" in Spanish. Home of course is where we all spend our holidays if only in our hearts and dreams.
From our home here in the paradise of Playa del Carmen on the edge of the Caribbean Sea to all of you wherever you may be, we wish all of you the happiest of holidays and a Merry Christmas.

This glycopeptide is a 16-amino acid modified fragment of mucin 5/MUC5AC, where T* is a GalNac labeled threonine 3. Mucin-type linkages (GalNAc 1-O-Ser/Thr) are initiated by a family of glycosyltransferases known as the UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (ppGaNTases). These enzymes transfer GalNAc from the sugar donor UDP-GalNAc to serine and threonine residues, forming an alpha anomeric linkage. The MUC5AC gene, which is mainly expressed in gastric and respiratory mucosae, exhibits 8 amino acid tandemly repeated domain, the consensus peptide TTSTTSAP.

Ventura Part 3
I know...it seems as though I'm really milking the Ventura show, right? We'll it took a lot to get out there and again, the rides in this post are very cool. In October there's plenty of local stuff happening in AZ, GOOD STUFF! So be ready for that. Until then here's some more candy from the V-nats.
I've said it here before, I love Dia De Los Muertos (Day of The Dead) art. The logo of Loco Banditos is similar to a lot of my doodlings over the years. Cool stuff and a beautiful ride.
There's another Loco Banditos ride coming up.
The Blasters rocked the car show with guitar virtuoso, Albert Lee.

VANCOUVER, BC –The annual friendly between Western Canada's Major League Soccer club Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Canadian Interuniversity Sport side UVic Vikes is set for Sunday, February 16 at Centennial Stadium at 2 p.m. PT. The 2014 edition will be the ninth meeting between the 'Caps and Vikes in a tradition that dates back to 2005.
"Since the original Whitecaps, the club has enjoyed fantastic support from fans in Victoria and all across Vancouver Island," said Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi. "The annual match against the UVic Vikes is always a highlight of our preseason and an important tradition."
The preseason friendly on Vancouver Island will be Whitecaps FC's lone match in British Columbia before the club kicks off their 40th anniversary and fourth season in MLS on Saturday, March 8 at BC Place against reigning MLS Supporters Shield winners New York Red Bulls.
The 'Caps fourth of seven preseason matches will take place between trips to Casa Grande, Arizona, and Portland, Oregon, and Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson will look to use a full complement of players including a number of First Kick starters.
"It's important for us to visit our fans on the island and give them the opportunity to see our first team players," added Robinson. "This match will give us that chance, provided each player is fit to play."
For UVic, the friendly follows a fall season that saw the 11W-5L-1D Vikes finish sixth in the Canada West conference. Two Vikes led the team in scoring with 11 goals, including fourth year Cameron Stokes and Whitecaps FC U-23 midfielder Cam Hundal.
"Hosting Vancouver Whitecaps FC is always an anticipated and exciting atmosphere for the island's soccer community," said Vikes head coach Bruce Wilson. "Island fans will have the opportunity to see both our Vikes side and also the talents of Whitecaps FC, who will just be starting up their MLS season."
At least five Vikes have previously played professional soccer with Whitecaps FC including Jamie Lowery, Chris and Nico Craveiro, Geordie Lyall and current men's soccer coach Wilson. In fact, the Vikes head coach was an original member of the North American Soccer League Whitecaps, having played four seasons in Vancouver from 1974 to 1977.
Last year, Whitecaps FC defeated the Vikes 3-0 in front of 2,600 fans at Centennial Stadium. Since 2005, Vancouver holds the edge with a 6W-1L-1D record against UVic.
The game will kick off on Sunday, February 16 at 2 p.m. at UVic's Centennial Stadium. Parking in the adjacent lots is free and tickets for the match will be sold in advance as well as at the gate. Pre-sale tickets will be sold online and through the UVic Box Office until noon on Feb. 14. Pre-sale prices are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $7 for youth (age 7-14). Children six and under are free.
In addition, Lower Island Soccer Association group rates with a 25 per cent discount are available for sale until February 12 at noon only through Ms. Janine Prince at firstname.lastname@example.com or 250-472-4772.
Ticket sales at the gate will open at 1 p.m. and will be priced at $18 for adults, $13 for seniors and students and $10 for youth age 7-14. To purchase pre-sale tickets online visit tickets.uvic.ca or call 250-721-8480. For all other ticket and game information please visit govikesgo.com/whitecaps.
Whitecaps FC begin their 2014 MLS season on March 8 versus New York Red Bulls at BC Place. Season tickets start at just $349, subject to applicable fees. The 'Caps also offer a flexible range of ticket products, including half-season tickets ($244), 5-packs ($149), student season tickets ($199), and a youth soccer half-season ticket ($100). For more information on all Whitecaps FC ticket options, call 604.669.9283 ext. 2 or visit whitecapsfc.com/tickets.

When I was about 14, I stumbled upon a copy of The Tightwad Gazette at my house (the first volume; now there is a complete version combining all three books). My mother had bought it, and it was full of money-saving ideas I had never even dreamed of. Of course, most of it didn't apply to me at the time because I wasn't running a household, but the writing style, layout, and illustrations appealed to me, so I read most of it. I looked through the clever ideas, but I also read Amy Dacyczyn's reason for becoming "the Frugal Zealot," which was to be able to have a large family and stay at home with her children. I can't remember exactly what I thought of that concept back then; my own mother had always worked and some of the ideas in the book seemed rather extreme. It wasn't until years and years later that I finally came to love thrift shops and yard sales. However, I think it must have helped to have these ideas in the back of my mind over the years, especially when we had to quickly save up to pay for Ivey's homebirth out of pocket while simultaneously preparing for me to quit my job to stay home with the kids. I've always loved The Tightwad Gazette--and now, I have all three books!
Today we had to drive out of town for an appointment, so before we left I grabbed the first book and handed it to Suzi, telling her to look through it for ideas. She found a few things that interested her, particularly the ideas for making popsicles from various ingredients. Then when we got home, I let the kids watch this video...
When I first saw this video a while back, I enjoyed being able to put a face and a voice with the words and drawings I had enjoyed for so long. But what I hope they take away most from the video is this:
"Saving money on small things adds up... Little behaviors add up."
When the video was over I showed the kids how I had budgeted the next couple of paychecks. In particular, I pointed out the amount we planned to put into savings and the amount we planned to spend on groceries. I explained that if we went to Aldi for most of our groceries and shopped carefully, we could spend less than planned and put even more money into savings, reaching our goals faster. I told them that avoiding little things like fast food dinners could add up to helping us reach the big things we really wanted.
Then I explained that this not only applies to our household budget, but to their personal "budgets" as well. We talked about big things they might want to save up for (Ivey mentioned an American Girl doll) and I asked them what little habits they could change that, all together over time, would make a big difference. Two things they came up with? Stuffed animals, and dollar store toys. I added candy to the list, and they agreed. Praise the Lord, they are getting it! As always, The Tightwad Gazette served to renew my focus as well. These books will always be a fixture in our home... But if you haven't read them yet, check your library!

Since the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the United States has vacillated between engagement and confrontation with the Islamic Republic, with sanctions filling the gap. As Iran has moved closer to achieving its nuclear ambitions in recent years, tensions are rising once again. The latest round of U.S. sanctions, signed into law in 2010, has hurt the Iranian government by restricting finance for oil refineries and discouraging foreign companies from conducting business with it. Yet sanctions have not delayed Iran's nuclear drive, foiled its support for terrorism abroad, or kept it from meddling in its neighbors' affairs.
In the wake of revelations about an Iranian plot to kill Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States, Abdel al-Jubeir, some in Congress are making the case for another round of sanctions, ostensibly to ramp up the pressure even more. But such a strategy leaves much to be desired. Over the past year, for example, Iran has enacted economic reforms and reduced the price of subsidies, riding out and adapting to sanctions.
Washington will only neutralize Iran by exploiting the regime's main vulnerability: its false claim to legitimacy. The ayatollahs' hold on power is inherently unstable because they have no popular mandate. Since staging a rigged election in 2009 to keep Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power, they have relied on repression and brutality to silence opposition, jailing journalists, torturing detainees, and executing critics (both real and imagined). By highlighting these crimes on the world stage and actively supporting Iran's dissidents, the United States can place a new, more effective kind of pressure on Tehran and support the movement for democratic change from within. Focusing on human rights violations will allow the United States to expose the hypocrisy of the regime and remind Iran of its domestic troubles as it tries to expand its power and influence.
The current state of affairs in Iran began with the Green Movement uprising in 2009. As hundreds of thousands flowed into the streets to protest the sham victory

Metals versus microbes: The biocidal effect of metalloacid-coated surfaces
A new study published in BioMed Central's open access journal Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control reports of a phenomenon that could help control the spread of hospital-acquired infections: a surface-coating of metalloacids kills off microbial strains, even in multidrug-resistant microorganisms.
Hospital infections are a major public health concern, causing an estimated 99,000 deaths a year in the USA alone. Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces greatly helps reduce these infections. In addition, previous studies have indicated that metalloacids could limit the ability of microorganisms to survive by producing oxonium ions (H3O+), which creates an acidic pH.
In this novel study, the authors from the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Tours and the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besançon, France, set out to test the biocidal ability of molybdenum trioxide metalloacid-coated surfaces. To do this, they contaminated metalloacid-coated and non-coated surfaces by exposing them to microbial suspensions of eleven different microorganisms responsible for hospital infections.
The microorganisms tested were two Staphylococcus aureus strains, Clostridium difficile, three extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae strains, vancomycin-resistant vanA Enterococcus faecium, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumanii, and two fungal strains of Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus.
The authors found that the metalloacid-coated surfaces exhibited significant antimicrobial activity in all non-spore-forming organisms tested within 2-6 hours of initial contact. The coated surfaces greatly limited the survival of microorganisms, whereas microorganism numbers remained substantial on non-coated surfaces. Interestingly, spore-forming organisms were completely unaffected by the coated surfaces.
The biocidal reaction is thought to be caused by the diffusion H3O+ ions through microbial cell membranes, resulting in altered enzyme transport systems and inhibited metabolic activity.
Lead author Nathalie van der Mee-Marquet thinks that the findings of this study could greatly aid hospitals in controlling infection. She said, "In contrast to disinfectants and antibiotics, microbial resistance to metalloacids may not emerge, and they should be safe for human use. A molybdenum trioxide coating may be an effective and permanent means of minimizing microbial contamination between hospital cleaning procedures, particularly against multidrug-resistant organisms."
van der Mee-Marquet suggests that further studies should evaluate the benefits of the coating on medical devices and gauge whether it can be used as a complementary measure in hospitals for preventing the spread of nosocomial infections.

Following the Ancient Eight crown -- Harvard's fourth in the last six years and fifth overall under Leone -- the Crimson went on to host the first round of the NCAA Tournament, cruising to a 6-0 victory over Central Connecticut State, before taking on No. 1 overall UCLA in the second round. It marked the first time since 2001 that Harvard reached the round of 32. Leone was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year, the first time ever the award has been handed out. The honor was his second conference Coach of the Year distinction.
In 2013, the Crimson wrapped its conference slate with a perfect 7-0 record for the first time since 1999 and posted its seventh-straight winning season. It signaled the fourth title for Leone, who assumed his position on Feb. 22, 2007.
Leone also guided multiple players to individual accolades. Margaret "Midge" Purce was named the Ivy League Rookie and Player of the Year, as well as a unanimous selection to the Ancient Eight first team. Senior captain Peyton Johnson (unanimous) and sophomore Haley Washburn also earned first team accolades to give Harvard the most selections since 2011. Junior defender Erika Garcia, junior midfielder Meg Cascells-Hamby and junior goalkeeper Cheta Emba were named to the All-Ivy second team. Junior midfielder Marie Margolius earned an All-Ivy honorable mention.
Harvard posted a 9-5-3 (3-3-1 Ivy) in 2012. With a 1-0 overtime victory over Brown Oct. 24, 2012, Leone earned the 250th win of his career. Harvard saw five of its players garner All-Ivy League status during the 2012 campaign, including Casscells-Hamby who earned a spot on the first team, while Garcia, Bethany Kanten and Washburn received second team accolades.
He led the squad to the program's 10th Ivy League title in 2011, the third crown for the Crimson in the first five seasons under Leone. Harvard posted a 10-1 record at home during 2011, tying the program record for a single season, and carried a 10-game unbeaten streak into the NCAA tournament. The Crimson went 6-0-1 in the Ivy League, going unbeaten in conference play for the first time since 1999. In addition, Harvard's 12 wins overall were the most for the program since the 1999 campaign. Melanie Baskind was honored unanimously as the Ivy League Player of the Year and joined teammates Peyton Johnson and Lindsey Kowal on the All-Ancient Eight first team. Rebeccca Millock and Meg Casscells-Hamby earned spots on the all-conference second team.
During the 2010 campaign, Leone, in his fourth season with the program, guided the Crimson to a 9-7-1 overall mark, as well as a 4-3 record in the Ancient Eight. In addition, Katherine Sheeleigh '11 was honored as the Ivy League Player of the Year, headlining four Crimson who garnered All-Ivy first-team accolades, marking the most for the program since 1999.
In 2009, Leone helped the Crimson win its second straight Ivy League title and automatic berth to the NCAA tournament, finishing 6-1 in the Ancient Eight. Harvard won eight of nine games down the stretch, posting a 9-7-1 overall record for the season. Harvard earned six selections to the All-Ivy League team, including Katherine Sheeleigh '11 who received first-team status.
Leone, the 2008 Soccer Buzz Northeast Region Coach of the Year, guided the Crimson to a 10-3-5 record in just his second year at the helm, leading Harvard to its first Ivy League championship since 1999 and first berth in the NCAA tournament since 2004. The Crimson went 5-1-1 in the Ivy League and entered the NCAA tournament on an eight-game unbeaten streak. Leone also guided six Crimson to All-Ivy League honors, including Melanie Baskind, Harvard's third Rookie of the Year in a row, and first-team selections Lizzy Nichols and Katherine Sheeleigh.
In his first season with the Crimson, the team finished 10-6-1, and had two NSCAA All-Northeast Region selections in Nichols and Sheeleigh. Sheeleigh was also named Ivy League Rookie of the Year after leading Harvard with 16 points on eight goals. Nichols and Sheeleigh were All-Ivy first-team honorees, while Gina Wideroff and Lauren Mann were second-team recipients. Nicole Rhodes earned all-conference honorable mention.
He came to Harvard after six successful seasons at Arizona State, where he posted a 60-45-4 record. One of the most successful coaches in women's soccer, Leone carries a wealth of coaching experience with 20 years as a collegiate head coach. In all, Leone has posted a career record of 251-136-39 (.638). He ranks 21st among active Division I head coaches with his 251 victories. Among active head coaches, Leone currently also ranks 40th in winning percentage.
Leone's successes at ASU were not limited to the playing field. His teams perennially achieved the school's highest grade point average among its 22 varsity programs. In 2005 the Sun Devils placed a school record 11 student-athletes on the Academic All-Pacific-10 Conference team. In all, Leone coached nine All-Pac-10 honorees while guiding the team to a pair of NCAA tournament appearances and a school-record No. 9 national ranking in 2004.
Prior to heading the Sun Devils Leone coached at Clemson from 1994-2000. He spent five years as an assistant and one as co-head coach before being named head coach for the 2000 season--a season that saw Leone named Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year as the Tigers won a school-record 19 games en route to the ACC regular season championship. In his seven years at Clemson, the Tigers finished among the nation's top 15 teams each year with 20 all-league selections. The Clemson squad compiled a record of 16-1-1 in the regular season and earned a No. 1 seed in the ACC Championship. After reaching the national quarterfinals for the third time in four years, Leone's team finished with a school record 19-3-1 overall record and a No. 5 national ranking.
Additionally, 2000 was an unprecedented year at Clemson. Leone began the season with a school-record 12 straight victories, while along the way breaking North Carolina's 37-game ACC winning streak. In doing so, Clemson became the first team in seven years to defeat UNC in the conference and peaked as high as No. 2 in the national rankings. In 2000 Leone's players were named the ACC Freshman of the Year, South Defender of the Year, ACC Goalkeeper of the Year and National Freshman of the Year.
Additionally, the 1994 Clemson squad was the first team in NCAA women's soccer history to make the NCAA tournament in its first varsity season. During Clemson's NCAA tournament runs from 1994-2000, only six other Division I programs advanced to the NCAA tournament the same number of years (7) as the Tigers.
Leone has not limited himself to coaching at established programs, having started two collegiate programs prior to working at Clemson. He started the program at Creighton in 1989, and within five years guided the Bluejays to a top-five regional ranking. In Leone's final year at Creighton, he led them to a 14-3-2 record, winning 11 of their last 12 games.
His coaching career started at Berry College (Ga.) in 1986 and he has the notoriety of being the only coach in collegiate soccer history to take a first-year program to a national championship game. The next season, 1987, Leone's team won the national championship as he earned national coach of the year honors. In a three-year span at Berry, Leone took his teams to three straight Final Four appearances. Today, Berry is considered the most successful program in NAIA history.
Leone is a 1985 graduate of Charlotte having earned his BA in sociology. As a player at Charlotte, Leone was a three-time all-conference selection at three different positions. He scored the winning goal in what still stands as the longest game in Sun Belt history, a seven-overtime affair in the 49ers' first conference championship title game. As a senior, Leone received the David Schlee Memorial Award given to the Charlotte player most demonstrating his desire to succeed. He earned a masters degree in sports sciences from the United States Sports Academy in 1990.
In October of 2003, Leone was proudly inducted into the first hall of fame class at Severna Park High School in Severna Park, Md.

Here's a new Sprint Nextel (S) ad featuring CEO Dan Hesse strolling through... Tribeca? Dumbo? 19th-century Vienna? Doesn't matter. The key is the last second of the ad, when Dan's purported e-mail address shows up: "email@example.com".
What happens when you ping Dan at said address? Ian Schafer, CEO of Web marketing agency Deep Focus and a SAI contributor, actually bothered to find out:
I'll save you the time wondering what happens if/when you email that address. Here's the response you get:
"Thank you for taking the time to write to me. There are a lot of exciting changes going on here at Sprint. To really revolutionize wireless as we know it, we need your input. It's so important that we hear from the people out there who are using our phones every day so we can provide the best service.
I would like to take the time to read your email carefully and respond. In the meantime, don't hesitate to check out the details of our new Simply Everything plan at www.sprint.com/everything. A representative from my office will be contacting you in about a week.
Thanks again,
Dan Hesse
CEO Sprint"
Ian informs us that the blogosphere is thoroughly umimpressed with Dan's autoreply, and concludes that "the only thing worse than not moving towards a more transparent relationship with your customers is only going part of the way." But frankly, as Sprint customers, we'd prefer that Dan not spend a lot of time answering emails, and instead focus on more crucial concerns -- like getting our BlackBerry to pick up all of the calls we get, not just some of them.
Earlier: Pali Research analyst Walt Piecyk is also unimpressed with Dan's ad, but for different reasons.

A Limited Justice is the first in a new series by Belfast based former forensic examiner turned author Catriona King. I was sent the book to review by the publisher and I have to say that I wasn't that blown away by the idea of it at first. Despite the old adage, 'never judge a book by its cover' I have to say that I did, well that and the title. I don't know, I guess I thought it sounded and looked a little bit bland. But I'm pleased to say that I was proved wrong.
There has been a brutal murder in broad daylight in a garage in Belfast, followed by a second equally gruesome one, and then a third . . . DCI Craig and his team are determined to find out the who the killers are and to stop them before they strike again. But they don't quite make that deadline and one of their own is attacked, racking up the heat on the investigation.
The story introduces DCI Marc Craig who I loved from the start. He is strong but kind and is perfect for the main character of a novel like this one. In fact I think the characters in the book are all really well written and work well together. The detective team are a particularly good group. I assume that it is King's previous experience in dealing with the Metropolitan Police that she has been able to put down her observations and form them into a realistic working environment that is great to read about. There is great camaraderie even in the face of adversity.

ROCHESTER — The Spaulding High School faculty and staff announce the Top 12 graduating seniors for the Class of 2013. Rankings are based on the cumulative grade point average through the third quarter of the senior year. This year, they had a three-way tie for the 10th spot. The honored graduates are listed in alphabetical order, as the determination of valedictorian and salutatorian, based on grades for the entire four years of high school, will be calculated and announced at graduation, June 14.
William J. Boyd, recipient of the St. Michael's College Book Award, is the son of Elaine and Jeffrey Boyd of Rochester.
Will, an Eagle Scout who has been active in scouting since the first grade, served as a Senior Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, Troop Guide and Assistant Scoutmaster during his high school years. He participated in the Order of the Arrow, the Boy Scout Honor Society during that time, as well.
Beyond the leadership demonstrated through scouting, Will served as co-president of Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society); co-president of the French Honor Society; co-captain of the varsity swim team and, in addition to being a section leader in the Spaulding Band, played in the pit band for all theater productions at Spaulding over the past three years. Named to the NH All-State Band for trombone, Will described that event as the most personally meaningful activity he had engaged in because of the musical challenge it presented and the unforgettable experiences he enjoyed.
Will lettered in both swimming and track at Spaulding, but also found time to work as a statistical intern at a local manufacturing company for 10-15 hours each week over the past year.
He discovered his future career direction while designing, building and programming a robot in order to acquire a Boy Scout Merit Badge in robotics. Accepted at both the University of New Hampshire and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, he will study robotics engineering at WPI in the fall where he intends to specialize in either artificial intelligence or nanotechnology.
Kiana R. Brigham points to her summer studying Ancient Greece at the St. Paul's Advanced Studies Program as the most meaningful activity in which she engaged during high school because of the opportunity to be surrounded by exceptionally " … intelligent and talented students" who truly enjoyed learning and who " … learned a lot from one another".
Kiana, who plans to major in economics and accounting and minor in finance, looks to a future career as either a stock broker or financial analyst. She was accepted at Babson College, Boston University, Bryn Mawr College, Hartwick College, Hofstra University, Ithaca College, Northeastern University and the University of New Hampshire and will attend Hartwick in the fall with their prestigious Oyaron Scholarship.
Very active throughout her four years at Spaulding, Kiana served on Class Council, the Athletic Council, the Highway Safety Team and as President of the Student Leadership Team.

Having participated in the Spaulding Marching Band (where she served as a section leader), the Masque and Dagger Drama Society, Class Council, National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), and Latin Club (treasurer) Jordan also played softball and ran track during her high school career.
Jordan was honored to be selected to the All New England Band and to place second in the Poetry Out Loud competition.
Some of her community service activities included volunteering with Study Buddies, Table of Plenty and the nursery at her church.
Jordan describes the band trip to California as her most meaningful activity in high school because of the great memories created with her best friends and the pride of representing Spaulding High School while performing in the Disneyland Parade.
With a planned double major in criminology and forensic science and a minor in Arabic, Jordan will begin working toward her goal of becoming an FBI Special Agent. She was accepted at Hofstra University, Stonehill College, University of New Hampshire and University of New Haven and will study at Hofstra University in the fall.
Jillian Crowley is the daughter of Julie and Christopher Crowley of Wakefield.
Having been accepted at Drexel University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Syracuse University, University of New Hampshire and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Jill will study mechanical engineering at the University of New Hampshire. She hopes to ultimately use her background in engineering to help preserve the environment by focusing her studies in the area of sustainability.

She volunteered with the Wakefield Mentor Program and Rochester Youth to Youth (a program promoting awareness of drug and alcohol abuse) and participated in Granite State Challenge, Masque and Dagger Drama Society, Class Council and Project SEARCH. She has worked every summer since 2007 picking fruit at a nearby farm.
A student of dance since the age of three, Jill performed in Spaulding High School productions of "Peter Pan" and "Phantom of the Opera". She describes dance as the most meaningful activity in which she has engaged because it " … taught me about the importance of perseverance … and as a result I gained confidence…." She hopes to continue dancing in college, as well.
Jill was named to the National Honor Society, National Technical Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), and the Spanish Honor Society. Accepted to the St. Paul's Advanced Studies Program, she instead opted to participate in the People to People Student Ambassador Program through which she traveled to France, Italy and Rome during the summer of 2012.
Kayla Daniell was Class Secretary, National Honor Society Secretary, Spanish Honor Society Secretary and member of Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), the Athletic Council, the Student Leadership Team and the Interact Club.
Kayla's commitment to community service earned her two awards for the time she has spent cleaning up roads in her neighborhood, participating in outreach to the homeless through City Reach and an assortment of additional activities through her church.
Captain of the varsity cheerleading squad, Kayla was a New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association Scholar Athlete, and was named to the Academic All-State Cheerleading Squad during her sophomore year.
She was accepted at Emmanuel College (Honors Program), Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and the University of New Hampshire (Honors Program). Kayla has decided to attend Emmanuel College as a pre-med major with the goal of becoming a pathologist in the future.
Kayla is the daughter of John and Jane Daniell of East Wakefield.
Keith R. Fleming, a gifted math student who began his high school math career in the eighth grade, was accepted at Georgia Institute of Technology and Northeastern University. Because of his passion for math and science, Keith decided to study mechanical engineering at Northeastern in the fall.
Vice Chief in the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scout Honor Society, Keith was proud to have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout this year.
In addition to participating in Project SEARCH and the Spaulding High School Marching Band, he was also a member of the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), the Math Team and the Spanish Honor Society (vice president) during his years at Spaulding. He also has enjoyed volunteering at the New Hampshire Boat Museum in Wolfeboro.
Keith earned the top score on the grueling AMC-12 Math exam and participated on Spaulding's State Championship LifeSmarts Team. LifeSmarts is a competition that tests students on their knowledge in the areas of personal finance, health and safety, environment, technology and consumer rights and responsibilities.
He is the son of William and Michele Fleming of Rochester.
Arianna C. Garland has studied dance for 15 years, participating in competitions and performing for seven years with Ballet New England's Nutcracker.
During her time at Spaulding, she has served on both Class Council and the Yearbook staff.
With a passion for young children, Arianna has worked as a teacher's aide in the infant and toddler room at a local day care and also works as a mother's helper for a local woman with young children, providing homework help, bringing them to activities and ensuring their care.
Hoping to combine her love of children with her interest in a career in dental hygiene, Arianna would like to ultimately work as a dental hygienist for children. She was accepted at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Science and the University of New England and will attend the University of New England in the fall.
Gabriel M. Hoffman, recipient of the Holy Cross Book Award, is the son of Mark and Elizabeth Hoffman of Rochester.
Gabe's high school leadership activities have been exceptional and diverse. He has served as vice president and then president of the Student Senate; he was the student representative to the Rochester School Board and served on the Principal's Advisory committee. He was National Honor Society Vice President and an active member of Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), the Spanish Honor Society, Class Council, the Student Leadership Team and the Varsity Bowling Team.
A trumpet player and All New England Band Festival participant, Gabe participated in the George M. Park Drum Major Academy and was ultimately selected as drum major for the Spaulding High School Marching Band for his junior and senior years. He describes being drum major as the most meaningful experience of his high school career because it enabled him to " … better develop my sense of self … as someone who enjoys leading, helping and interacting with others".
Additionally, Gabe volunteered his time as Clerk of Court for the Teen Drug Court which is part of the Court Diversion Program in the city that deals with negotiating consequences for first-time drug and alcohol offenders.
Outside of Spaulding, Gabe is Vice President of the Maine State Youth Council of the United Church of Christ, serves as the Associate Choir Director and participates as a delegate to the General Synod of his church. He also volunteers as a counselor with the Pilgrim Lodge Camp in Maine.
Gabe attended the St. Paul's School Advanced Studies Program last summer and earned a grade of "Superior" in his study of Performance Psychology.
He will study psychology and economics in the University of New Hampshire Honors Program as a Governor's Success Scholar and plans to pursue a future career as an attorney who practices business law.
Jessica L. Leclair, daughter of Nancy and James Leclair of Rochester, was the recipient of the St. Michael's College Book Award and the President's Volunteer Service Award.
As might be expected of a recipient of the President's Volunteer Service Award, Jessica's activities in high school are heavily skewed toward service to others. As foreman of the jury for Teen Drug Court (a program that partners to Rochester School Department and Rochester Police Department's Court Diversion Program) she has lead the jury in interviewing defendants and formulating an individualized, appropriate and meaningful program to be completed as a consequence for their legal infraction. Jessica named the TDC as one of the most meaningful activities she's pursued in high school because of the opportunity to see that " … if peer pressure can be used as a negative influence, it can be used as a positive one as well." She is proud to have been a part of the success stories of numerous peers over the years.
Jessica participated in Project SEARCH and was a member of the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society) and Spanish Honor Society, for which she served as Treasurer. She played junior varsity softball her freshman and sophomore years and participated in indoor track for three years.
Outside of Spaulding High School, Jessica volunteered as a homework aide at Rochester Youth Safe Haven and also volunteered at Frisbie Memorial Hospital as a radiology patient transporter. She has worked part-time at a local department store for the past two years, as well.
Jessica spent last summer studying neurobiology at the Harvard Summer Program, which she described as her other "most meaningful" activity in high school. Describing the course as both fascinating and challenging, she had the dual pleasure of performing well in the class and in solidifying her commitment to study neuroscience in college.
Accepted into the Honors program for biology with a neuroscience concentration, Jessica will attend Emmanuel College with an eye toward a career in neurology or pathology in the future.
Samuel W. Pallas, recipient of the Harvard Book Award, French Award, and the Cody Cleveland Memorial Award, is the son of Robert and Joanne Pallas of Rochester.
Sam enjoyed tutoring his peers in both math and French and also volunteered his time with the Relay for Life, the Penguin Plunge and, more regularly, at a local soup kitchen.
A member of the Interact Club, Class Council and Project SEARCH, Sam also participated in the National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society) and the French Honor Society where he served as secretary.
Listing soccer as the most meaningful activity in which he participated, Sam noted that it was more specifically the experience of coming back from a 0-3 deficit to beat rival Dover in the pouring rain during his senior year that elevated the experience for him. He stated that " … my team became a second family and I could never thank them enough for not only the memories, but for the life lessons shared."
Sam was accepted at Boston College, Northeastern University and the University of New Hampshire. He will major in biology at Boston College with plans to go on to medical school and pursue a career as a physician.
Ali M. Trueworthy was a New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association Scholar Athlete and recipient of the Society of Women Engineers Computing Award. She was a member of Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), the Spanish Honor Society and the National Technical Honor Society.
In her many activities at Spaulding, Ali consistently found herself in positions of leadership. She served as class president for three years, was captain of the varsity softball, volleyball and swim teams, selected to be a New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association Student Ambassador and, since her sophomore year, served as the "MC" at every pep rally held at Spaulding. Additionally, she was a member of the student senate and Project SEARCH and worked part-time at a local shoe store. In her minimal spare time, Ali has volunteered with the Rochester Girls Softball League and participated, for the past two years, in the Penguin Plunge.
She described her role as "MC" at the pep rallies as her most personally meaningful activity because it helped her gain both confidence and leadership skills. She discovered that she absolutely loved being "out in front of everyone" and helping to create the energy and enthusiasm for the various events scheduled.
Ali, who is the daughter of Sylvia and Michael Trueworthy of Rochester, was accepted at both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She will study mechanical and ocean engineering at MIT where she will also play softball. Ali plans to become an ocean engineer in the future.
Christopher A. Volpe, who will study finance or economics at Bentley University as a Presidential Scholar in the fall, is the son of Karen and Alan Volpe of Rochester.
Active in the Future Business Leaders of America Club (serving as treasurer his senior year), Class Council, Interact Club and Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society), Chris also completed the requirements for the Finance Academy (a collaboration between the Creteau Technology Center and the Holy Rosary Credit Union). Now a part-time teller at Holy Rosary, Chris also negotiated a job shadowing experience with a financial analyst within that organization so that he could experience the realities of a career he is contemplating for the future.
Chris was voted by the faculty and his peers to be the DAR Good Citizen Award recipient for the Class of 2013. He also received the St. Anselm College Book Award.
When asked about the most meaningful activity in which he engaged in high school, Chris referred to the LifeSmarts competition. He " … enjoyed competing against other finance-savvy teenagers in Philadelphia and Atlanta …" and was pleased to take fourth place in the individual "Finance" topic assessment both his junior and senior years.

You know, it almost seems natural: When there's a triple shooting in Las Vegas at a strip joint called Minxx Gentleman's Club, you tend to just assume Pac Man Jones was involved. (Or Stephen Jackson. Maybe Olin Kruetz.) Jones says, though, that rumors saying that he had something to do with it are false and that the police just wanted to talk to him as a witness.
Jones' lawyer Worrick Robinson spoke to the NFL player Monday about his alleged role in the altercation: "I asked him: 'Was anybody in your group involved in the shooting?' And he said, 'No.'"I said, Then why did you leave? He said, 'When there's guns there's always someone else coming with a gun. That's what you do. You get out of there.'" "He told me, 'Man, I am not a suspect and didn't have anything to do with this.'"
Police are still wanting to question Jones, but that might just be police procedure: Whenever there's strip club shooting, anywhere, Pac Man Jones and Stephen Jackson are rounded up, just to cover all one's bases.

PRATT — Each year, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) prepares the Kansas Fishing Forecast, an indispensable tool that forecasts fishing prospects in public waters throughout the state.
The 2012 Kansas Fishing Forecast, now online at www.kdwpt.state.ks.us (click Fishing/Fishing Forecast), assembles results of biologists' sampling efforts into a format that can help anglers select lakes that will most likely provide the best opportunity to catch the kind and size of fish they prefer. The information is formulated from data collected by fisheries management biologists through annual lake monitoring, which includes test netting and electroshocking.
Water bodies are separated into three categories — reservoirs (waters larger than 1,200 acres), lakes (waters from 10 to 1,200 acres), and ponds (waters smaller than 10 acres). This helps anglers understand that while a water body may have a high rating, if it is small, its overall opportunity may be limited.
Table categories have been created for popular species and include a Density Rating, Preferred Rating, Lunker Rating, Biggest Fish (the largest fish taken in sampling), Biologist's Rating, and Three-Year Average. The Three-Year Average rating is included because not every lake can be survey every year.
The Density Rating is the number of high-quality size or larger fish per unit of sampling effort. High-quality size, listed in parentheses at the top of the Density Rating column, is the length of fish considered acceptable to most anglers and is different for each species. The higher the Density Rating, the more high-quality sized or larger fish per surface acre in the lake. Theoretically, a lake with a Density Rating of 30 has twice as many high-quality sized fish per acre as a lake with a Density Rating of 15.
The Preferred Rating identifies how many above-average-sized fish a water contains. For example, a lake may have a good density of crappie, but few fish over 10 inches. The Preferred Rating helps anglers select which lake to go to for a chance to catch bigger fish.
The Lunker Rating is similar to the Density Rating, but it indicates the relative density of lunker-sized fish in the lake. A lunker is a certain length of fish considered a trophy by most anglers. It also differs with each species and is listed in parentheses at the top of the Lunker Rating column. For example, most anglers consider a channel catfish longer than 28 inches a lunker. Many lakes may have a lunker rating of 0, but this does not mean there are no big fish in that lake. It just means that no lunker fish were caught during sampling, and they may be less abundant than in lakes with positive Lunker Ratings.
Anglers can use the Density Rating and Lunker Rating together. For those who want numbers, go with the highest Density Rating. For those who want only big fish, go with the Lunker Rating. Somewhere in the middle might be a better choice. A lake with a respectable rating in all three categories should provide the best overall fishing opportunities.
The Biggest Fish column lists the weight of the largest fish caught during sampling. A heavy fish listed here can give the lunker angler confidence that truly big fish are present.
The Biologist's Rating adds a human touch to the forecast. Each district fisheries biologist reviews the data from annual sampling of their assigned lakes. This review considers environmental conditions that may have affected the sampling. They also consider previous years' data. A rating of P (poor), F (fair), G (good), or E (excellent) will be in the last column. Sometimes the Density Rating may not agree with the Biologist's Rating. This will happen occasionally and means the Density Rating may not accurately reflect the biologist's opinion of the fishery.
Printed copies of the forecast will be available at KDWP offices by the end of February, and the March/April issue of Kansas Wildlife & Parks magazine will present the forecast as a full-color article. (For subscriptions, phone 1-800-288-8387.)
Whether the angler is after big fish or more fish, the forecast will help find them. Weekly reports on fishing conditions at waters throughout the state are also posted on the website and complement the forecast.

Antifibrinolytic agents may be used in
specific situations or in combination with clotting factor replacement to treat
hemophilia. Antifibrinolytic agents prevent the
breakdown of blood clots by neutralizing chemicals in the
mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and urinary tract
that break down clots.
Antifibrinolytic agents are used to
treat nosebleeds (epistaxis) and to help prevent bleeding in the mouth with
dental surgery.
Antifibrinolytic medicines may
be given instead of or along with clotting factors in certain situations. For
example, antifibrinolytic agents may be used to:
Antifibrinolytic agents effectively
prevent or stop bleeding of the mouth.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:

Antifibrinolytic medicine
can be taken in pill or liquid form. Or it can be injected.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The massacre of sixteen Afghan civilians near Kandahar has thrust Afghanistan back into the political debate. (Yes, there is a real war going on, and it's not the one for bound delegates in Tampa.) For a moment early this week it looked like we might be near a tipping point, at which Republicans could lunge to Obama's left on the war. Newt Gingrich proclaimed Afghanistan "not doable," while Rick Santorum said we should either double down with more resources or "probably get out sooner" than planned. Mitt Romney, true to form, played it more cagily, cautioning against a rush to change policy based on a single demented act. But even Romney said that "we should on a regular basis reassess what's happening in Afghanistan," which was not exactly a cry for death or glory.
Yes, the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll shows that Republicans are evenly divided about whether the Afghanistan war is worth fighting, the first time that poll has failed to find majority support for the war among GOPers. But it's not clear we're about to see the party's leaders start calling for a rapid exit from the Hindu Kush. For starters, Josh Rogin details the efforts of Republican hawks on the Hill, like John McCain and Lindsey Graham, to beat back talk of an accelerated withdrawal.
Nor do either of the two presidential candidates who still matter, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum, seem to be shifting significantly. Last night Santorum told Fox's Greta van Susteren that Obama's plan is "doomed to failure," but that he would follow a "completely different strategy in Afghanistan and would be successful in executing that plan." He also bashed Obama for setting withdrawal timelines that could encourage the Taliban and makes our allies "hedge their bets." Likewise, in CBS interview yesterday, Romney called Obama's timelines a mistake.
Opposing timelines runs against public opinion on the war. But it also puts Republicans in their preferred role of alignment with the Pentagon brass, which has a symbolic political power of its own. That's probably why Romney likes to cite Petraeus's public difference of opinion with Obama over drawing down the 2009 surge forces.
But this could be a dangerous game for Republicans. In 2008, John McCain constantly cited the military men–including Petraeus himself–who cautioned against setting a deadline for our exit from Iraq, and argued that Obama's withdrawal plan was reckless and dangerous. Obama seemed to get the best of that argument. When it comes to Afghanistan, he must be hoping that history will repeat itself.
Read more about Obama's timeline for withdrawal in the new issue of TIME, now available online to subscribers and hitting newsstands Friday.

Talk about barking mad.
Montgomery County Police say two brazen thieves bought a puppy with a credit card they stole from a church parking lot, and then took the dog on a shopping spree funded by the same ill-gotten gains.
Authorities say a man and woman broke into a car in the parking lot of St. Jane Frances de Chantel Catholic Church at 9601 Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, Md., on Aug. 11 sometime after noon.
U.S. & World
The thieves snatched a purse inside the vehicle, which contained credit cards belonging to a 60-year-old woman who was attending a church service at the time.
"They took my purse, which had my wallet, credit cards, my mother's silver rosary...." said the victim, who asked that her name not be used. "By 12:39, they had charged $1,300 at a place called Just Puppies."
The thieves doctored the victim's driver's license, keeping the victim's information but the female suspect's picture.They used the license and one of the stolen credit cards to buy a three-month-old Yorkshire Terrier from the Just Puppies store in the Twinbrook Shopping Center in Rockville, investigators said.
Security video shows employees of the store helping the suspects view the puppies, and select the one-and-a-half-pound Yorkie.
The employees didn't know the credit card was stolen.
The duo then went on a shopping spree at the Nordstrom in Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. Police say surveillance video shows the male suspect holding the puppy as they completed a transaction.
The victim says the frustrating experience has taught her a lesson. "I don't leave my purse in the car, and I tell all my friends not to," she said.
In all, police say the two charged $4,100 to the victim's credit card.
The investigation has stalled since August, and police would like to hear from anyone who knows the couple in the videotape.
If you recognize the suspects in the surveillance video below, call police at Crime Solvers of Montgomery County at 1-866-411-8477.

Peter.maruff needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
Velocity Mobile
Velocity Mobile is a software company that develops enterprise mobile applications for the iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices. Our focus is on small, medium and large business customers ... not individuals. Our tagline is "Mobile Applications for you, your customers and your community".
We sprung out of Velocity Solutions, a regional IT services provider headquartered in Hong Kong with offices in Manila, Singapore and Bangkok. Our management team is Australian and Canadian. Our technical staff are typically overseas educated Chinese and Filipino developers.
We're not the biggest company around but we have a good customer base that we work hard to provide a high level of service.
Our mobile app business, Velocity Mobile, is a new business and we want to start fresh from a marketing and brand perspective.
Our target market will initially be the smaller companies who are looking for mobile applications to better serve their own customers.
Our prospects will be too small to get the big names (Accenture, IBM, HP etc.) interested. They will be happy to deal with a smaller, more-attentive, developer like ourselves at Velocity Mobile.
We need a company logo.
Something "business-orientated" as we will be primarily dealing with SME businesses but also with a edgy/hip flavour to it to reflect our passion and creativity. Simplicity or a Zen quality is also good. Corporate but not corporate (boy, did I really say that?).
Colour-wise, anything but blue would be good.
Something that reflects the mobility and connectiveness of our mobile applications focus.

Well guys, here is another familiar face that will go nicely with the Jack Skellington lesson I submitted earlier. This rag-doll is the love interest of Jack, but before he even noticed her beauty, she fell in love with him first. Of course I'm talking about Sally, so here is "how to draw Sally easy", step by step. I wanted to make a real simple version of Sally because I know there are a lot of folks that love her character even if she is a bit whiny. Instead of making the clay version of Sally, I went ahead and recreated her in a comic book style. This way you not only have the enjoyment of drawing Sally easy, you also have the colorful display or color scheme to follow when you begin adding color to your finished drawing. Anyways, I have to bail out of here because there are still two more submissions I want to get uploaded before I start my drawing day again. If you love aliens, you will definitely love what's coming your way. Peace people and enjoy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ellendy from Awesome--Not Just for Spirits! I have been wanting to get an ice ball press ever since I discovered them last summer. I watched the video on the WS website and was smitten. Then, we dined at a fine restaurant, where they used one, and my fate was sealed. I will be using this every day for my sparkling water. I make it at home with our own pure, reverse osmosis water, but ice cubes usually take the fizz away too fast. I made my first ice ball, and voila, my glass has stayed fizzy all afternoon! Of course, the ice balls would be great for cocktails and for other soft drinks, but I am mainly using mine for water at the moment. The unit is very heavy and very well made. It comes packed in a massive protective case. I bought the 2" one, and I am sure the larger would would be awesome as well! I am also very pleased to see that this product is made in the US!Date published: 2013-12-10Rated 5 out of 5 by PurdueFoodie from Love Love Love the Cirrus Ice Ball Press Kit My family and I first saw the Cirrus Ice Ball Press while in Disneyland and the manager of the restaurant was showing the whole lounge area how they made these perfectly round beautiful clear ice balls they serve in their specialty drinks. They were so eye catching; we continued to order the specialty cocktails just to get the ice ball! The best thing about this product is it doesn't water down your drink because the ice ball lasts for hours. The manager let us know that it was Cirrus Ice Ball Press and as soon as we returned to Indiana we ordered one! We purchased the larger ice ball maker kit and it was such a hit at our home and with our guests. This product is a must at a party. We have since ordered 2 more of the small kits as gifts! They are perfect for the person who seems to have everything! The Cirrus Company has outdone themselves with their unique product. It is simple to use, easy to clean, and makes a drink classy. I would recommend this product to anyone.Date published: 2012-11-28Rated 5 out of 5 by NorthernCaliforniaLady from Amazing Product! A Staple In My Bar / Kitchen. Such a unique and useful tool for making spherical ice balls! Wow! The Cirrus Ice Ball Press looks and feels impressive (gratefully made in the USA - and obviously with pride!) I use mine every day -- not only for alcoholic refreshments, but for non-alcoholic beverages, too. Guests are always interested in seeing how it works (as it sits majestically on my counter) and no one can believe how incredibly slowly the round ice ball melts. It's a great conversation starter, too! Adults are impressed, kids are delighted, and my drink doesn't get watered down. I have the 2" Ice Ball Press, and have put the 2.75" one on my Wish List. I highly recommend this product, and although it may seem a little pricy, I am confident that mine will outlast me and be handed down to our kids as it is very well made. A great gift!Date published: 2012-11-27
