Orcas circle ferry transporting tribal artifacts to Bainbridge Island | Travel & Outdoors. Originally published October 31, 2013 at 6:04 PM | Page modified November 1, 2013 at 5:41 PM A large pod of orcas swam around a Washington state ferry in an impressive display as it happened to be carrying tribal artifacts to a new museum at the ancestral home of Chief Seattle, and some people think it was more than a coincidence. Killer whales have been thrilling whale watchers this week in Puget Sound, according to the Orca Network, which tracks sightings. But they were especially exciting Tuesday when nearly three dozen orcas surrounded the ferry from Seattle as it approached the terminal on Bainbridge Island.
On board were officials from The Burke Museum in Seattle who were moving ancient artifacts to the Suquamish Museum. The artifacts were dug up nearly 60 years ago from the site of the Old Man House in Kitsap County, the winter village for the Suquamish tribe and home of Chief Sealth, also known as Chief Seattle. “Everyone was really excited and moved by the event,” she said.

Nerd Fitness: How to Properly Track Your Progress. This is the next installment in a series on The Next Web, in partnership with Steve Kamb from Nerd Fitness. Guides to staying healthy, without giving up your geek lifestyle. A few months back, I told you a story about my friend Saint who went from 60 pounds overweight to having 6-pack abs. I’ve shared countless other success stories on my Nerd Fitness blog, covering people who made incredible changes and drastically changed their lives over the course of a few months.
Some people gained strength and muscle, while others lost tremendous amounts of weight and body fat; despite the differing goals and vastly different results, they all made one specific change that helped them truly get the results they wanted: They wrote everything down. If you’re serious about making changes to your life and getting in shape, I cannot stress enough the importance of tracking your progress, and I don’t mean just stepping on the scales every morning and freaking out every time it goes up 1/10th of a pound.
Plan Your Trip with Stay.com. Going on Vacation? Ditch the Paper Guidebook and Try These Apps. - Lauren Goode - Product Reviews. The restless mind only rests when the body is in transit — that’s what I tell myself when my feet are feeling particularly itchy. Fortunately, the summer travel season is upon us, and vacation isn’t too far away. So, over the past week, I tested a couple of iPad apps for travel. To be clear, these apps aren’t geared toward finding deals on flights or hotels, but are digital guides that offer written and visual information about various destinations. The first one I tested is Stuck on Earth, a free, iPad-only app from photo blog Stuck in Customs that takes a different approach to travel planning, with crowdsourced photos and suggestions based on your personality type. I compared this app to one of the new day-by-day apps from the trusted travel authority Frommer’s. The Frommer’s guides, which range in price from $10 to $15, are available for iPad and iPhone.
First I tried Stuck on Earth. I created a few folders for My Saved Trips: One was for France, one for Barcelona, and one for India.
