Stacyknows featured on Consumer Reports
Stacy Geisinger uses her iPad to write a blog and send messages. But she often makes mistakes typing on the virtual keyboard.
"I have to start all over again or I'm backspacing constantly," she said. "You have to watch what you're doing."
To try to solve that problem, manufacturers are coming up with keyboards for the iPad. Consumer Reports tested ones costing $70 to $100.

What are you Wearing to dinner
When I told Kris Ruby to join us for dinner at Gabriele's in Greenwich, I warned her not to wear Herve Leger. I just didnt realize she would be wearing the same top as me in a different color. I got mine at Diana Heimann at The Ritz. Stop in her shop for fabulous jewelry, great tops and evening bags.

I Funny
March was when our son celebrated his 17th birthday, and we got him an iPhone. He just loved it. Who wouldn't?
I celebrated my birthday in July, and my wife made me very happy when she bought me an iPad.
Our daughter's birthday was in August so we got her an iPod Touch.
My wife celebrated her birthday in September so I got her an iRon.
It was around then that the fight started..
What my wife failed to recognize is that the iRon can be integrated into the home network with the iWash, iCook and iClean.
This inevitably activates the iNag reminder service.
I should be out of the hospital next week!!

Why Ian Ziering Uses NuSkin and Age LOC and You Should Too
First, the company and the product has to be top notch. Anything less, and my credibility goes down the drain. I first became aware of the Nu Skin line when I started on 90210 in 1990. My make-up artist used their products on me after she took my make-up off. Even back then I realized that this was a great line. When I decided to explore this as a possible business venture, I flew out to Provo, Utah to meet with the corporate management team and tour the facilities. I was truly blown away. They spend a fortune on research & development, have the brightest minds in the business, and are working with some of the finest universities to bring together what I truly believe is the cutting edge of skin care based at the genetic level. In 25 years of business, Nu Skin has become a publicly traded company with over $1.3 BILLION in sales last year! Clearly, they're doing it right; so my first criteria was covered.
Second, it has to be something in my area of expertise. If I know something well, I can speak passionately, and enthusiastically about it. Everyone always tells me how young I look, and at 45, I consider that a pretty big compliment. Of course I'd like to thank my parents first, but good genes can only go so far. While traveling in "Hollywood" circles, you can be sure I've tried every cream, scrub and magic potion there is out there to keep my appearance competitive. While in Utah, I did half of my face with the Galvanic Spa and I was shocked at how much better it looked than the other side. My pores were tighter, my skin tone was radiant and texture was smoother. In short, I witnessed revolutionary science and technology in action. This is something I can speak passionately and enthusiastically about because the results I have experienced and seen on others are astonishing. Criteria 2, check!
My third criteria is based on the fact that I've always believed success unshared is failure. To that end, I've always looked harder at what I'd be giving, rather than what I'd be getting in return. With our economy in the dumps, we're all looking for ways to supplement and diversify our income with alternate revenue streams. Nu Skin offers an opportunity to build a big business around these cutting edge products from anywhere you live. While I can't teach everyone how to be a professional actor, I can teach anyone how to do this business. If you are coachable, motivated to work and at the right time in your life, I will help you each step of the way to achieve success in this business venture.

My Review of Seabourn Odyssey on Liquid Atlas
The Seabourn Odyssey is a sexy ship, that is renewed my interested in cruising. The cabins are spacious and luxuriously appointed. The in suite entertainment was all encompassing with movies and music galore to choose from. The bathrooms have bathtubs and double vanities.
All the public rooms, from the Observation Deck proved to be the perfect place for pre dinner cocktails. while the club on the 5th deck was perfect for after dinner drinks and dancing. The band was "rockin', and we danced every night. Don't miss the Rock The boat party where all the entertainers strut their stuff. There were so many places to enjoy the beautiful Dalmation Coast.
The cruise started in Venice. What a perfect way to begin with a sailaway through the Grand Canal. The passengers seem to come from world. Although, I expected more passengers from the US, I was delighted to see and hear accents from everywhere especially, Australia and Brazil. The crowd was energetic and young. The spa and the pool were always busy and inviting.
I was traveling with my son who was 21 years old . He was pleasantly surprised to find many peers to hang with. Many Americans travel as a family in July , while many Europeans seem to choose august for a family vacation.
Dinner in the dining room , named the Restaurant was always excellent, with wine pairings that always pleased the palette. It was hard to select which entree to choose and sometime we even had too.
Breakfast and lunch are served in The Colonade , with buffet and table service available. Sometimes you just want to eat outside. These tables fill up quickly so dine early.
We really enjoyed the Patio Grill, where a casual lunch was served till 3:30pm.
There was a coffee bar located on 7, next to Seabourn Square. Seabourn Square is where you go to speak to experts about any question you have concerning your cruise, such as excursions, or ideas of how to spend your day.
Of course I must mention room service. We ordered shrimp cocktails every single day, not to mention caviar on occasion. It was delivered in a timely fashion, no matter what time we ordered.
Although most of Seabourn's itineraries are 14 days, this cruise was 7 days and proved perfect for myself and my family.

The Swell Life Marathon- Life Still Has to Go On
Izzy Paskowitz, a competitive surfer, lives a busy life as an athlete and a father to an autistic child. The Swell Life, is about 
Paskowitz's, a remarkable family of raising a child with autism. Unlike the majority of reality television, this show is actually real. It follows a real family dealing with their very real issues - their teenage daughter moving in with her boyfriend, a husband and wife struggling to share child-rearing responsibilities, and, of course, a family struggling to raise a boy with autism. As you may already know, autism affects roughly 1 in 150 people, worldwide. There are over 2 million people with autism in the United States alone. Raising a child with autism can be a trying and alienating experience, and this show charts that journey in an honest and un- staged fashion. The Swell Life will be running this Saturday on the Oprah Winfrey Network from 12:00 – 5:00 Est
This show has no celebrity faces. I know there are families out there who want to see their own experiences reflected on television…if they only knew the show was on!

8 Great Beach Reads
The summer reading excitement continues with more of my favorite picks, all of which are available in paperback and are perfect for a delightful day at the beach. Throw one in your bag; add a towel and lotion and you’re good to go. (For even more summer fun there is a contest below. Good luck!)
Promises To Keep
by Jane Green
I normally shy away from novels that have at its core a story about breast cancer. But not when the author is the much beloved, Jane Green. InPromises To Keep, Jane is able to tell the story of Callie Perry’s recurrence without making this book one long sob session. There are both light hearted and realistic moments as we learn the story of Callie’s enviable and loving life and the way her family comes together to support her through her illness. Callie’s sister, Steffi, leaves her glamorous New York City world to be with her sister and realizes that perhaps her priorities can stand a bit of reorganization. The book is written in loving tribute to Jane’s dear friend, Heidi Armitage. Heidi told Jane that she’d hoped Jane would write about this experience. True to her word, she has.
The Writing Circle
by Corinne Demas
Having been involved in many writing circles, author Corinne Demas knows of what she speaks. As the writers in the fictional Leopardi Circle share their works, lives and each other, fiction often times gets confused with reality. Or is it the other way around? Either way, this novel is a lot of fun! Can you imagine a more competitive and inimidating group of people as they come together to critique each other’s work while at the same time trying for the brass ring - being published. This fast-paced read will appeal to the reader and writer in all of us.
Diamond Ruby 
by Joe Wallace
America's favorite past time mingles with one of mine with a heroine we can cheer for! One who isn't getting millions of dollars to play the game or switching teams as fast as you can say "free agent." It's the 1920's and Diamond Ruby is a woman way ahead of her time as she pitches her way into the reader's heart. Overcoming everything author Joe Wallace can throw at her, she is always one step ahead. Inspired by the short baseball career of Jackie Mitchell, who, after striking out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, was barred from organized baseball in1931. I absolutely loved this memorable summer novel!
Delilah Blue
by Tish Cohen
Imagine waking up one morning and finding out that everything you thought you knew about your life was a lie, that your photo once graced the side of a milk carton. The truth is never simple, as Lila Mack will come to find out. Ever since moving to Los Angeles with her father, at the age of eight, she has never felt like she fit in. The story takes us back and forth from Lila’s life as a young girl to present day when Lila at the age of twenty takes a job as a nude model to support herself. Lila’s long-lost mother was an artist and this is a way to be closer to her mother’s world. As Lila’s father starts to become disoriented and forgetful, her mother re-enters their lives and brings along her side of their family story. So much of what Lila knows about herself is a lie, and she has no idea who to trust. Tish Cohen is able to find the humor and love in even the most of dysfunctional of families.
A Pug's Taleby Alison Pace
A dog lover through and through, Pace makes sure to include these sweet little guys in all of her novels. Hope McNeill is back in this follow-up to Pace’s Pug Hill. The opening scene sets the tone for this comical mystery as it’s Pug night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The patron the museum board is attempting to schmooze for a large donation is a pug owner. In order to procure the dollars I’ve got to think the Met is breaking some sort of rule by letting in fifty of these breathing challenged pig-tailed cuties. It is soon discovered that a priceless painting is missing and this has everyone pointing fingers at each other. Meanwhile, an unlikely friendship between Hope and the targeted patron, Daphne, adds to the fun. Is Daphne helping Hope to solve the mystery or intentionally steering her in another direction? Art, NYC, pugs and the story that started it all with Hope and Ben (who is in Africa with Lawyers Without Borders. You don’t have to be a pug owner or dog lover to enjoy this book – but wouldn’t you be?
Drinking Closer To Home 
by Jessica Anya Blau
With a close-knit and loving if not traditional family at its core, this book made me want to both savor and yet keep turning pages so I’d know more and more of the story. At times both heartwarming and heartbreaking – I laughed out loud and felt the need to read passages to those around me. When adult siblings come home upon learning the news of their mother’s heart attack, everyone needs to put old hurts aside to live together and support their dad and each other. Secrets and agendas are dragged home and are strewn all over the place like laundry left for someone else to pick up. Maybe you can go home after all.
After You 
by Julie Buxbaum
At the center of this novel there is the friendship between Ellie and Lucy. When Ellie learns of the murder of her best friend, Lucy, she drops her life in the states and flies to London to look after Lucy’s daughter, Sophie. Due to the trauma of losing her mother, Lucy stops speaking. In hopes of getting the little girl to speak, Ellie chooses to readThe Secret Garden with her. This book holds special meaning for Ellie as something that helped her to get through some rough times in her own childhood. Ellie is needed in London, but she is also running away from something or someone. Sometimes the ones we set out to rescue do far more of the rescuing and Ellie learns that things may not have been what they seemed with her late friend.
The Swimming Pool
by Holly LeCraw
I love a great debut novel and this one was one of my favorites! Murder and mystery on Cape Cod in the summer –what else do you need to know? Throw in summer love, family secrets, a suspicious bathing suit and you have the recipe for a compulsively readable story that is The Swimming Pool. This is the story of Marcella Atkinson, an exotic beauty who years earlier had had an affair with, Cecil, a member of one of the old vacationing families. Years later the family gathers at the summer home arriving with lots of baggage, some even containing clothing. Marcella begins an affair with Jed, Cecil’s son and nothing good can come of it. I enjoy a storyline that plays out through the generations as we see history repeat itself, even with all the warning signs blinking wildly.

Fireworks Over 3 Mile Harbor in East Hampton
The Great Bonac Fireworks Show is a three-decade Long Island tradition of staging a dynamic midsummer fireworks show for residents of East Hampton, New York and visitors The event is staged each year over Three Mile Harbor at East Hampton. The tradition almost faded into history, but in 2009, the East Hampton based Clamshell Foundation began reviving the popular event. 
Formerly the Boys and Girls Harbor Fireworks show, the Clamshell Foundation now hosts the event with fireworks by the Grucci family. The fireworks will be shot off from a barge in the middle of 3 Mile Harbor, so there are many viewing locations. This summer will mark the 31st annual display started by George Plimpton and Tony Duke

The Five Greatest Movies Ever Made
As I film lover, I wanted to tell you about this really interesting event
I spoke with the organizers last week, and they said the'y lower the price from $89 to $44 for anyone who uses the code "Stacy" when they register. Really - I'm not kidding!
The Five Greatest Movies Ever Made
Presented by Marc Lapadula - Yale University
It's nearly impossible to try and even count the number of movies which have been released in the United States since the dawn of the film industry . So imagine how difficult it would be to try and identify the five best American movies, and describe what makes them so great!
Well, that's exactly what Yale film professor Marc Lapadula will be doing on Sunday morning July 17th at our first ever class held at Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook! The title is "The Five Greatest Movies Ever Made", and he'll do his best to explain his choices -- showing clips of each chosen film. 
Citizen Kane is one of the five greatest films. Can you guess the others?
At this special event, Yale Film professor Marc Lapadula will discuss:
Great Stories: It's crucial that there is solid writing with a strong story "arc," creating a compelling narrative structure. A lot of movies have flimsy, time worn and predictable plots. Star vehicles are often like this; designed to capitalize on a star's box office appeal with little effort put into the script.
Great Performances: Needless to say, movies with weak performances are not likely to stand the test of time. When a scene can be watched over and over, something special has been achieved that always mesmerizes and astounds audiences.
Character Development: We want to see characters that face supremely challenging experiences which transforms them in some profound way.
Direction and Editing: Poor direction is easier to spot than you might think. How many times have you been to a fairly decent movie that just went on way too long. Great, inspired direction is crisp and intelligent. It must grapple with sophisticated themes and subtexts. It can never obvious or overly sentimental.
Box Office Success: Here is where the business side intersects with the "art of film- making." Many bad movies generate a lot of money but few films become "true classics" if they don't connect with large audiences.
The class starts at 9:30am and ends at Noon, and will be held at the Doral Arrowwood Resort in Rye Brook New York. But seating is very limited - so I strongly urge you to register now to lock in a spot.
Full price is $89, but as a friend of Stacy...
you can pay a lot less than half that price - just $44 - simply by using
coupon code "Stacy ".
Registration couldn't be easier,
just call 800.300.3438 or click on the button below 
But don't forget the coupon code Stacy to lock in your discount

Green Homes and Great Estates
The WCC's 2nd Annual House Tour is just a few weeks away!
Six fabulous homes in Northern Westchester that really embrace the idea of maintaining a healthy balance between man and the natural world, and mesh with the Wolf Center's conservation message: "recycle, reuse, reduce!"
These homeowners are opening their doors on Sunday, June 26, to help us raise money for the care of the two new pups that arrived at the WCC earlier this month, and will make the WCC their home for the rest of their lives: Zephyr & Alawa are the "Ambassadors" who will join Atka to be part of every WCC conservation education program for the next decade and beyond.
House Tour to benefit the
Wolf Conservation Center!
Sunday, June 26, 2011
Westchester homeowners and the community-minded brokers from Ginnel Real Estate have come together to raise money for the WCC's pup nursery and the new education center!
After checking in at beautiful "Birdstone Farms," guests will tour 6 remarkable estates at their leisure, with the option of stopping at Richard Gere's historic Bedford Post for lunch at the new Farmhouse patio restaurant!
Mystery Lake House
The homes on the tour range from a gracious, historic Ridgefield mansion, to a modern, "prairie-style" family home reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright, to a serenely private and romantic 1970s contemporary lake house built by actors Hume Cronin & Jessica Tandy (pictured left).
All the homes on the tour have one thing in common: Each was built or renovated with the specific "green" intention of conserving or reusing historic elements, and leaving the natural surroundings undisturbed. Hope to see you there!
Tour (10:00 - 4:00) - $75 (100% tax deductible)
Lunch at the Bedford Post (12:00 - 2:00) - $25
