QUOTE OF THE FORTNIGHT
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

Dr. Seuss

M I C R O S TO R I E S
In each village I used to gather around forty or fifty interested
spectators who would buy their tickets in advance to see a
clown in English for the first time; and while they were
tackiing thier seats at the theatre, I would flee to another
town.

Bodega Fin del Mundo: A must

Mycestro hands on:

An innovative wireless mouse
with compromises.
It's a 3D mouse that you wear on your finger and operate using
gestures and thumb actions. The Mycestro wirelessly connects
to your computer, tablet or other device and allows you to control
it from up to 30 feet away.
When the finger-mounted "3D mouse" called Mycestro blew
through its Kickstarter funding goal last year, it seemed like the
device might be a hit. The makers of the device were only looking
for $100,000, but ended up raising over $350,000 by the time the
campaign was over.
But now, nearly a year after the device began shipping to the
crowdfunding backers of the device, and after all the initial excitement, we haven't heard much chatter about the device. That
could change now that the company has finally made the device
available to the general public as of last week.

Google launches
smart spoon to help
steady shaking hands.
Drones, self-driving cars, robots, and balloons providing
internet access Google is stretching a long way from
search. Now the company has added a smart spoon to
its portfolio of hi-tech products.
Google has started promoting its Liftware spoon, a utensil that uses hundreds of algorithms to sense how a
hand is shaking and makes instant adjustments to stay
balanced.
The product is aimed at people with essential tremors
and Parkinsons disease and, according to the company, can reduce shaking of the spoon bowl by an average of 76%.
Essential tremors and Parkinsons disease affect more
than 10 million people worldwide, including Google cofounder Sergey Brins mother. Brin has also said he has
a genetic mutation associated with higher rates of Parkinsons. He has donated more than $50m to research
for a cure.
The spoons are now available for $295.

Leather iPhone 6 Case and Wallet

The Schroeder family has been part of the rugged and

mystical Patagonia landscape since 1927. In 2001, when
starting their dream of winemaking, construction of the
winery was halted unexpectedly when the remains of a 75
million year old Titanosaur Aeolosaurus was found one
of the largest dinosaur fossils ever discovered on Earth. The
Schroeders named it Saurus and it now resides
underground encased behind a glass wall watching over the
barrels of wine.
Deseado means loved and its hard not to fall in love with
this cutie. A fresh, sweet white peach and orange blossom
nose leads to fine, foamy bubbles. Sweet, floral, orange,
kiwi, spice and delicate tropical fruit flavours are in flight in
the mouth, with juicy, mouthwatering acidity. This would be
lovely with brunch, or post dinner with marmalade tart or
lemon meringue pie.

Shakespeare First Folio

found in French library.
A rare and valuable William Shakespeare First Folio has
been discovered in a provincial town in France.
The book one of only 230 believed to still exist - had lain
undisturbed in the library at Saint-Omer in the north of
France for 200 years. Medieval literature expert Rmy Cordonnier was searching for books to use in a planned
exhibition of Anglo-Saxon authors when he stumbled
across the 1623 tome in September..
The First Folio, entitled Mr William Shakespeare (sic) Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, was edited and published in
1623.It included almost all of the plays widely accepted
to have been written by Shakespeare .
The book will not go on general display, but will be scanned
so it can be consulted on the library website and will be
available for other libraries and museums to borrow .

Breathing rugby
Arturo Orzabal was one of the most important world
props in the late seventies and member of the San Isidro
Club which had one of the packs of forward players that
changed the history of rugby in the world.
After almost forty years in Patagonia, passing through Cipolletti, Independente and the Polo Club, besides founding The Boars in El Bolson and Conejos in Plottier,
among many other activities with the oval ball. He has now
been summoned by Diego Manson and his team .
The truth is that everybody respects him from rivals who
pay homage or show him affection wherever they find him
to his own players. All agree to highlight the strengths and
especially the gift of generosity and kindness he possesessential values for this game of give and take.

Lets catch the fish!

During the winter months in the northern hemisphere, why
not roll back the clock, grab your fly rod, and head to the
magical world of Patagonia, Argentina.
Patagonia is a remote wilderness of isolated mountain
valleys, ragged icy peaks and turbulent rivers.This is a land
that demands exploration, and you will experience firsthand
its dramatic landscape. It has mountains that have never
been climbed and valleys populated by pobladores
(subsistence ranchers). Here you will experience the
worlds most incredible trout fishing in perhaps the most
hospitable nation on earth: Argentina.
In the province of Neuquen, nestled on the banks of the
world famous Chimehuin River, and situated between the
sleepy fishing village of Junn de los Andes and the vibrant
alpine village of San Martin de los Andes you will find the
most beautiful spots where to practice your favourite sport.
Most of the rivers have very predictable hatches and will
produce a good number of trout actively surface feeding,
providing a lot of targets for those who love to sight fishing.
Among our favorite rivers you will also find the Malleo,
Quillen, Quilquihue, Collon Cura, Alumine, Filo Hua Hum,
Caleufu, Pulmari, Meliquina and more...
