Jeff and Gina Rivers aboard the Mystère
A special thanks to Gina and Jeff Rivers for inviting us to join them on the Soul food Sunday on the Lake cruise. Gina has been an advisor to SIF since our launch, and her husband Jeff was the event caterer.
The cruise departed from the Port of Brewerton and traveled along the Oneida River. The company, conversation, scenery and food were all wonderful.

Giles and Choi
Syracuse University graduate students John H. Giles, Jr. and Eunyoung Christina Choi attended the 2010 Association of American Geographers meeting in Washington, DC last week.
Choi presented a paper titled: Everyday Practices of Bordering and the Threatened Bodies of Undocumented North Korean Border-Crossers.
Giles is a SIF Advisory Board Member.
I recently read a manifesto by Chris Guillebeau. He has traveled the world and been chronically self-employed.

First, I was impressed with Baltimore’s Aquarium, then more so by Seattle’s; and then I was sure the Monterey Bay Aquarium was the pinnacle. But recently I visited the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, and it became my new favorite. I also heard there may be a better aquarium in Europe.
For the price (free) however, I also thought the Aquarium at Santa Monica Pier was also nice. It’s more geared toward school-kids and does a good job tackling conservation and water quality.
