Beach Bocce
Beach Bocce Ball
Looking for new fun ways to enjoy your day at the beach? Try Beach Bocce. Bocce comes from an ancient line of sport going back to the Roman Empire. It is pronounced “Botchie.” The rules are fairly simple and the great thing is that you don’t need a lot of people, it is fairly cheap for a set of Bocce balls, it is for all ages, you don’t need to physically overexert yourself and you don’t necessarily have to be sober to play it. In fact, it goes well with beers.
The game can be played between two people, two teams of two, three or four. Once you have your teams one of the teams throws a small ball called the jack out onto the sand no more than say 15 feet out. The objective then for each team to throw (“bowl”) their four bocce balls underhanded and try to get as close to the jack as possible. You can even knock your opponents balls out of the way. The scoring team gets one point for each of their balls that is closer to the jack than the closest ball of the opposing team. The team with the most bocce balls closest to the jack wins. It is that simple.
A set of decent bocce balls will run about $30 but there are certainly cheaper ones out there. Remember to put sunscreen on your shoulders before you get carried away in a heated bocce match.

Beach Music Series: Pains of Being Pure at Heart
Having music when going to the beach is key so during the summer months I am going to start posting some music tracks, both old and new, perfect for a beach playlist. My first pick is The Body by Pains of Being Pure at Heart. This video captures the essence of being a kid, summer holidays and awesome fun on the beach. Even more effective is the feeling of longing for a summer holiday, allowances and lazy days just being that every grownup feels from time to time (admit it!).

Hey, I Made It!
UPDATE: Solved by Roger at 12:05 CDT
*Man, it’s hot in central Texas.*
Oh, hello! I hope you’ve all had a great week, and are raring to go for the weekend. I bought a new house and have been buried in the details of trying to move my stuff.
How did I get so much stuff? Anybody want to buy one of my pianos?
Anyway, I have a riddle subject for you today that I’ve thought about for a while, but never quite figured out how to present. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy it. Today we are back in the land of SciFi, so get your brain out of reality and GET YOUR GEEK ON!

You want to think about an iconic character.
He’s not from around here, but he has roots reaching back to our neck of the woods.
When first pictured in a magazine, his image was altered to make it less… something.
Oh, come on... you know this one!
Talk about arrogant! He’s cooler than you, smarter than you, and he’s always right.
His character is the only one to “survive” the pilot episode.
Although he was truly lost for a while, he was never completely gone.
Remember.
Several other iconic SciFi characters are “related” to this one.
He’s been insane, in love, and enraged, but he had to be pushed to all three.

That should do it. This should prove to be one of those fast riddles, especially for you who are familiar with SciFi. You know where to find me.

MikroScan Achieves Groundbreaking Footprint in Desktop Whole Slide Scanner for Digital Pathology
Courtesy of the San Francisco Chronicle via PRWeb
Vista, CA (PRWEB) July 22, 2011
Whole slide imaging (WSI) manufacturer, MikroScan Technologies, Inc., announces a breakthrough in size threshold of its ultra-small desktop whole-slide scanner, the MikroScan D2, which is designed for secondary diagnostic analysis and collaboration for digital pathology, clinical research, and education applications.
With workspace at a premium shortage in most laboratories, MikroScan has focused its design and development on instrumentation that innovates the advanced features of larger more expensive systems into smaller desktop, or "personal," scanning solutions. A few minor changes on the inside have created a stunning difference on the outside, and now the market's smallest whole-slide scanner is dramatically smaller.
The tiny desktop footprint of the MikroScan D2 is now only 11 by 13 inches (143 square inches) - a whopping 40% smaller footprint area than the previous version, which was 13 by 18 inches (234 square inches).
"It's about the size a shoe box," says Bob Goerlitz, president of MikroScan Technologies. "We've been working on these improvements for a while, and we are very excited to bring them to market. This type of design criteria has been our core value since launching the company. The goals have been simple; to provide the market with a scanner that meets the end-users' needs for features, capability, and price so the market will finally be able and willing to support and adopt cost-effective digital pathology technology."
The new, more compact MikroScan D2 still packs all the same powerful features and performance that pathologists are calling for, including excellent quality imaging, high-resolution scan speeds well under 2 minutes, and collaborative communications tools that allow remote sharing and control. The scanner is ideal for frozen section room, and cytology fine needle aspiration (FNA) cart applications.
Victor Casas, chief technology officer and applications specialist at MikroScan Technologies, said, "Nothing was sacrificed in the minor reengineering to achieve a smaller footprint. If anything, we have made further improvements to the solid design, increased overall accuracy, and enabled some features that were previously unused. The optics and imaging system are the same exceptional quality, which is a pathologist's main concern for quality medicine and diagnostic accuracy."
"The new smaller sized instrument will make a huge difference for a lot of pathology offices and laboratories where workspace is scarce," said Mr. Goerlitz. "People are quite shocked when they first see how small it is. They are even more amazed when they see first hand the superior image quality it produces and how its features, performance, and flexibility can dramatically improve their workflow and diagnostic communications, and allow end users to bridge the gap between digital slide scanning and remote telepathology. The MikroScan D2 is clearly the smallest, yet most advance scanner in its class."
Mr. Goerlitz was previously quoted, "In large facilities, our solution complements the high-throughput products on the market by filling in the 'gaps of convenience' through eliminating issues like consult travel time, lab wait time, slide shipping time, and of course MikroScan's small footprint allows easy operation from anyplace with Internet access including your desk, lab, frozen section room, or office."
