iPod time jumping issue - iOS 4

My iPod Touch keeps changing time settings randomly after I've performed upgrade to iOS 4. This seems to appear anytime when iPod connects to some Wi-Fi, and even when it just gets the list of available WiFi networks even if there are no any public one available. It also happens on location related services starts and on Sync with the laptop.

I have correct GMT time zone specified on the laptop and tried to specify similar one at iPod. This does not help. It keeps on jumping...

The next problem is that iPod actually has not listed GMT-based time-zones! One needs to specify some city in your zone to get it 'matched'. If that would be possible one could shift the time by corresponding 'GMT+5' or 'GMT-8' setting, but this is not the case with an iPod iOS 4. So, I tried to find some city listed in the Settings, to match the zone with 'Syncronized' one, but I failed.

The only thing which temporary works is switching OFF the Wi-Fi feature. This is odd, but this is the only thing you can do to be sure, that your morning-alarm will ring on time you set it up and not a few hours late...

Does anyone has better solution yet?

Ehlert Racing Car 2010

This crate late car was just parked this way in front of our apartment this morning. Looks strong! And experienced :D

Unfortunatelly it left the place very quickly, so while I spent some time for morning tea they were gone...

Good luck in future races, Mr. Ehlert!!

BTW, here are photos and news from Ehlert Racing on Facebook: Facebook - Ehlert-Racing

Moraine Lake - 2006 vs. 2010

Here are two photos of Moraine Lake Lodge in Banff National Park nestled in the Canadian Rockies.

Actually I've found the second picture at club.foto.ru portal and was so excited about the view that decided to google out the destination. The first link I've clicked appeared to host some blog-message from 2006 (you click on photo - you'll get there) with almost identical shot! I'll bet, that if I'll try to check couple of more links there will appear tons of same similar shots again. So I am frustrated now little bit - it seems like in nowadays there is not so much unique impressions available - most of the things are just repeating each-other... Yeah...

And of-course, when I'll go there, I'll take the same picture myself again... :)

So, let's plan the trip: Moraine Lake Lodge

Munich - Sea Life at Olimpia Park

Enjoy relaxing view of nice sea life from aquarium in Munich, Germany!

Aquariums are usually our favorite attraction destinations when we are visiting some new city or town. Till the moment we've visited large aquariums in Boston, Chicago, Munich and Berlin. Also we were lucky to visit small aquarium exhibition at Hot Springs, Arkansas and ofcourse parts of Zoos in Kyiv, Stuttgart and St. Louis.

But only in Munich we finally went into the fantastic tunnel inside a huge tank (400 000 liters!) - such a view is probably most exciting and fun!

We don't know exactly who are those 'dancing coralls' you can see in the begining of the video, but they are really cute. Clown fishes, anemons, sharks, laaaaarge turtles and many others are happy there to give you best ever Live-Show you can imagine ;)

This is a great place to visit while you are in Munich. It is quite expensive so, like 14 Euros per person. But if you are a student you can enjoy a special entrance-discount! But don't expect it to be huge - students are getting off just 50 cents! It is Germany, you know... :)

P.S. Music track in the video is Gunsolo - Arcadia - it is nice, isn't it?

Blogger - Next Blog >>

Just found out that Next Blog feature from Blogger Navigation Bar provides not just random blogs, but blogs grouped by subject. Like I have seen now more than 10 blogs with small children and family photos, maternity and pregnancy discusions. And before there were appearing some blogs with pets - nice parrots, cats, dogs etc.

So, is there any button in Blogger like 'Show blog similar to mine'? That would be interesting to see!

Tips for great discount shopping $$$

Hey, international students! Hey shoppers! Hey newcomers! Welcome to US! Welcome to unbeateable shopping experience! Here is tip, which can save you lots of money! So... :)

Here, in US, people use manufacturer, retail, seasonal offer COUPONS to get significant discounts for almost any kind of shopping! The coupons are often available at shop-center online pages, printed in magazines or newspapers, and even placed right at the entrance in the shop in advertisement-like flyers (as I have seen many times in JC Penney shops)!

Typical coupons for JC Penney gives you 10%-15%-20% discount for anything you are going to buy. Often such a coupons are provided in a way like $10 off on your $50 total price, or $15 discount on your $75 total. Sometimes they might have no minimum limits and just give you great percentage off for any value in your shopping basket.

So, here are tips:

- When you are going to visit store like JC Penney try to google JC Penney coupons online. Couple of minutes effort can save you great slice of cake! When I tried to get JC Penney coupons online I've got them 100% times! In most cases I've got coupons from blog Printable-Coupons blog, where JC Penney coupons are listed here:

Printable Coupons - JC Penney

the page is usually alwasy up-to date, and coupons are linked directly from JCPenney web-site. Tested. Worked. All the time!

All you need to do - load selected linked PDF file, print it and bring to any cash register for check-out.

- If you somehow failed to get it printed, CHECK a view at the shop entrance - there might also be something sweet ;)

Have a great shopping, guys! Good luck! ;)
