1 Charm Pack
1 Layer Cake
3 ¼ yards Bella Solid (I used Stone)
½ yard blue border fabric
5/8 yard binding fabric
4¾ yards backing + contrasting half yard
(2) 9½" (x width of fabric) strips
(2) 14" (x wof) strips
(13) 2½" (x wof)strips for sashing
(16) 2" (x wof) strips for outside borders
From each of the 9½" (x width of fabric) strips, subcut 16 units measuring 9½" strips x 2 ½". You will need 32 total of these units.
From the remaining piece of 14" wide fabric, cut (2) 9" squares. Cut them each once on the diagonal. These are your Corner Triangles. You will need 4 total.
Trim 33 of the Layer Cake squares down to 9½" squares.
Cut (8) 2" x wof strips from the blue border fabric.
Cut (8) 2½"x wof strips from the orange binding fabric.
1. Using 32 of the Charm Pack squares, create (8) 4-patch blocks.
2. Using the 33 trimmed Layer Cake squares and 8 four-patch blocks, layout your 9½" squares on point starting with 5 squares across (see picture below) until you get the balance of color you like.
Then add the sashing strips and setting/corner triangles. Because you are assembling the quilt using diagonal rows, laying out the quilt on the floor or a design wall will help you keep track of which block goes where.
3. Start assembling rows diagonally with a Setting Triangle at the beginning and end of each row. Alternate 9½" x 2 ½" strips between the squares on rows 2-8. Sew a Corner Triangle at each end of row 5. I pressed seams toward the solid strips.
Repeat this step with all quilt edges. Start with (8) 2" x wof strips for the first border. The second border (blue) requires (8) 2" x wof strips and the last gray border requires (8) 2" x wof strips. Sew two strips together end to end for each side and trim accordingly.
10. For the backing, you will need at least 4¾ yards. Cut the yardage into 2 23/8 (85.5") pieces and sew them together lengthwise matching up selvage edges.
Part One: Get an extra ½ yard of coordinating fabric. Cut into (4) 4½" x wof strips. Sew two sets of strips together end-to-end to create 2 strips measuring 4½" x (about) 85". Take the back pieced together as above and rotary cut 22" off the bottom of the back. Sew one of the 4½" strips where you've rotary cut and sew the 22" piece back onto the bottom. (click on diagram to enlarge):
Take the second coordinating 4½" x 85" strip and cut 22" off from one end. Chose a contrasting fabric from your remaining Charm Pack squares and trim down to 4½". Insert square here and then sew 22" trimmed piece back onto the end of the strip.
Now, matching up contrasting Charm Pack square with the 4" coordinating print, sew this strip to the large piece of backing fabric. Attach the 22" trimmed piece to the other side of the coordinating strip.
One 83" x 83" quilt. This quilt is simple, but a perfect way to show off those pretty, larger prints. The sashing breaks them up and really highlights the fabric design. This quilt would work in so many different fabric styles - traditional to modern. Once again, I loved how quickly this came together for such a large quilt. It could easily become a queen or king size quilt just by adding wider borders.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (KALB News Channel 5)- When two siblings go head-to-head, it can get competitive under the same roof- but it's all in the name of sportsmanship. News Channel 5's Rachael Penton introduces us to sibling athletes on this edition of Young Achiever's Spotlight.
When it comes to athletics it's a family affair for the Warrens.
"I got into coaching so I've coached out at Buckeye so they kind of grew up in a competitive household," says mom Shelley Warren.
Aly Jo is nine years old. In addition to begin a straight "A" student, she's a softball player and a gymnast, and she recently added another sport to her resume.
"I didn't know if I could do it and then I went to the track and she told me to run and did it. So then I wanted to run," says Aly Jo.
Younger brother Ayden is a track star and a baseball player with excellent grades.
"We could drop the ball really young- when he was a toddler and he could hit the ball," adds Warren.
Aly Jo recently took top honors in the state for junior runners and gymnastics, and Ayden's travel ball team is currently ranked fifth in the nation.
With two young athletes in the family...sibling rivalry is in full force.
"We're always like I beat you I beat you to each other and we kind of brag to each other," adds Aly Jo.
But whether these two young achiever's are racking up wins, acing tests, or simply having fun- mom says they're learning important life lessons.
"I like what athletics teaches kids. Discipline, commitments. So I just want them to be a part of a team when they get older," adds Warren.
News Channel 5 is looking for oustanding young people to feature in our Young Achiever's Spotlight. If you know of a young person that excels in their studies, extra-cirricular activities, in their church or community, or is doing something good- nominate them! We're always looking for unique kids to feature in our segment.
To nominate a student contact Rachael Penton at firstname.lastname@example.com or 483-4245. Tell us what makes your nominee a young achiever. Don't forget to leave your contact information.
***Students in grades six and up are eligible. All young achiever's must be willing and able to do an on-camera interview.

Murad Age Reform
Anti-Aging Products for Wrinkles
Genetic Aging is a process that eventually happens to everybody. The body's natural process of aging means that over time skin-firming collagen will begin to deplete and skin-smoothing elastin will weaken. As this process begins to take place, skin loses its support structure and fine lines and wrinkles form on the face and neck and in the sensitive skin around your eyes. Age Reform anti-aging products are developed to fight wrinkles by working to firm and hydrate skin, boost collagen production and improve cell turnover so that your firmest and most youthful looking skin is always exposed. Murad Age Reform products as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle can give you firmer, more youthful skin that's Better Every Day®.

The president of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum is defending the decision to charge a $24 adult admission fee when the museum finally opens in May 2014 after some 9/11 families criticized the price tag.
Joe Daniels pointed out that the 9/11 Memorial complex receives no federal, state, or local funding to defray its projected $63 million annual operating cost and that the memorial plaza, which is already open, will continue to remain free.
"A general admission ticket of $24 will help fulfill our obligation to commemorate and preserve the history of 9/11. It will also enable educational programming that will teach the nature of and responsibility for the special freedoms we have," Daniels said in a written statement posted online. "Importantly, a Museum admissions will also ensure the Memorial, which has had more than 11.5 million visitors since opening two years ago, will be free and open to everyone."
The museum will always be free to 9/11 family members, Daniels said. He added that the museum will also have some free hours every week and that children, seniors and schools will get discounts.
But a group called 9/11 Parents & Families of Firefighters and WTC Victims has denounced the admission fee, calling it too high and a "disgrace" that serves to only fund the "outrageous six figure salaries" of some executives at the memorial.
"[T]he rich will visit the museum, but the poor and middle class families won't be able to afford it," the group said in a statement. "Unfortunately, there is no fiscal responsibility or accountability at this site."
The group is calling for the National Park Service, which manages dozens of nationally important monuments and memorials around the country (including the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania) to take over the Ground Zero site and make the museum affordable to the public.
Indeed, Daniels, the memorial president, seemed to imply in his statement that future federal funding was welcome.
"The 9/11 Memorial does not yet receive government support for ongoing operations as many other important museums of our national history do," he said.
Several members of the Congress, including Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, have tried to push for federal money for the memorial and museum, but those efforts have stalled in Washington.
The 9/11 Memorial does not have an endowment, but has managed to raise about $700 million in private donations for construction and operation, according to the AP.

The Tumi Difference
Tumi Patented Articulating Shoulder Strap
Move with greater ease with this patented design. The metal loop joints that attach the straps to the shoulder pad helps keep the bag from sliding off your shoulder as you move.
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
TUMI T-Pass® allows you to breeze through airport security hassle-free. T-Pass computer cases and sleeves are designed to meet the Transportation Security Administrations (TSA) technical requirements for "checkpoint friendly" bags by providing a clear scan of your computer without removing it from the case. NOTE: The TSA reserves the right to ask anyone to remove a computer from its case, or re-screen any bag or laptop regardless of the design of the case
Secure Slide® Shoulder Strap Attachment
Our exclusive, patented shoulder strap attachment design features a cover that slides into place to ensure that the clip stays closed securely. This feature eliminates the risk of bags accidentally falling from the shoulder strap and damaging the cases contents. It can only be opened manually when the hook is placed parallel to the strap attachment.
Rib-Tech Padded Laptop Section
Weve added an extra measure of security and protection for your laptop with our exclusive Rib-Tech padding, made from high-compression, energy-absorbing molded foam, in the computer section of this case.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
Waterproof Pocket
This specially-designed pocket is ideal for keeping wet and damp items, including umbrellas, water bottles and workout clothes, separate from the other contents of the bag.

Valve Still Experimenting with Team Fortress 2 Items, May Eliminate Unlock SystemTeam Fortress 2 lead Robin Walker says that Valve is not entirely happy with its new method of random weapon drops, and could eliminate the unlock system entirely.
"I think we've learned that the random drop system is only good for some types of things, like the rare cosmetic hats," said Walker to CommunityFortress.
The solution may be to simply skip the fuss and hand over the weapons nice and quick.
"At the very least, future packs will allow you to use achievements to get the new items, but we might move to a mode where we just give them to you," he added. "As part of our goal of supporting tournaments more, I think we'll probably add better tools for them to control exactly what players can and can't use within matches."
Walker also said that his team is not happy with the trend of competitive players flocking to smaller maps that public players typically do not prefer.
"We've got a map where we're trying out areas that modify themselves based on the number of players in the game, in the hopes that both public and competitive players can use it," he added.

A Duke University fan who had tickets to the University of North Carolina game Wednesday has sent Duke an invoice for $827.95, saying Duke should have been better prepared to play the game.
"Duke wasn't able to go eight miles with 48 hours notice of the storm?" Jackson Markham told WNCN Friday.
Markham, of Southern Pines, said he is a lifelong Duke fan and purchased tickets to the game at UNC this year. He also said he had hotel reservations and a friend who drove 12 hours to be with him for the game.
Markham said he was .7 miles from the Smith Center Wednesday night, on Fordham Boulevard, when the game was postponed.
"I could have walked to it," he said.
He said Duke had indicated throughout the day that the game was intended to be played.
"We spent all this money and just got nothing out of it," said Markham, 23.
Duke told WNCN Wednesday afternoon that the team intended to shoot around at Duke at 4:45 p.m., followed by a team meal at 5 p.m. and a 7 p.m. bus ride to the Smith Center. A Duke official said the Blue Devils would leave earlier if necessary.
ACC associate commissioner Karl Hicks also told WNCN that day that the game officials were in Chapel Hill, as was the ESPN crew. The ACC's policy is to play the game if the teams and officials can safely make it to the arena.
But after a chaotic traffic situation in the Triangle, UNC announced at 5:42 p.m. Wednesday that the game was postponed.
"Duke's bus is not able to get to their campus to pick up the team in time to be able to make the trip to Chapel Hill so we can't play this evening," UNC Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham said at the time.
Duke uses Champion Coach out of Greenville, S.C., as its charter bus service. Officials at Champion Coach refused to comment Friday.
Markham, who went to the University of Tennessee but grew up in the Pinehurst area, was still upset Friday, and he sent an invoice to Duke Athletics Director Kevin White with information on how much he spent on tickets and hotels.
Markham said he didn't understand why Duke didn't have a backup plan to get to the game.
"They couldn't come up with an alternative," he said.
He added, "It seemed like the pieces were in place, but one piece made negligible effort."
Asked what he wanted from Duke, Markham said, "If someone wanted to write a sincere apology, that would be nice."

At MusclePharm® we live the lifestyle. The motivating force that drives MusclePharm's business is the integrity of its management team. We are not just business people; we share the lifestyle of our target customers. We have harnessed the drive and focus that marked our experiences in the sports world into building our business that benefits all fitness enthusiasts and helps Fuel The Athlete Inside™!
In 2003, MusclePharm's CEO and President Brad Pyatt— then a player for the Indianapolis Colts— was frustrated that the current supplements he was taking were not helping his performance as promised in advertisements, but were actually hindering his performance, causing injuries to him on the football field. After being advised by the Colts' strength coach to stop taking overmarketed supplements that overpromised and underdelivered, Pyatt's vision came alive: To develop a superior line of nutritional supplements that would help his fellow athletes improve their performance in a way that existing supplements did not. In the years that followed, he built his idea into MusclePharm— a company that currently boasts eight products (six on the market and two pending) with four more slated for production by the end of 2010. Even as the company has grown, its mission has remained the same: to improve its customers' lives, increase their ability to excel, use cutting-edge science to develop the best nutritional supplements on the market, and provide a SAFE option for athletes, as we are The Athletes Company™!

Your Body Is TalkingMusclePharm Is ListeningIt's no secret that nutrition and sports performance are intrinsically connected.

Field Tested…Laboratory ProvenWhile MusclePharm's scientists tell them it works in the laboratory, as athletes, they need to prove to themselves (and their competition) that it works on the field, on the court, on the track and in the ring. MusclePharm's world-renowned MP Performance Center is a state-of-the-art 35,000 square-foot training facility where elite professional athletes come to battle test their products and push themselves and MusclePharm to the absolute limit. MusclePharm's scientists, trainers and product formulators are watching and recording every step of the way to ensure their products provide the proper and safe nutrition for optimal performance and recovery. Whether you're a coach, a trainer, an athlete, a weekend warrior or a health-seeking consumer, they take it all seriously.
Better Science…Better Products…Better ResultsMusclePharm could have built a successful company with just one of these steps. But they wanted to create products that were better than anything they had ever found in the market, and they knew they had to go the extra mile to get there. They've assembled the best and brightest minds from the sports world, the business world and the scientific community to create a full line of nutritional supplements unlike anything you've ever seen. MusclePharm has spent millions of dollars validating their products in the most advanced performance and testing facility they know of. As a result, MusclePharm is the only line of sports nutrition products that have not only proven themselves in the athletic world but proudly in the therapeutic nutritional world as well.
Message From MusclePharm's CEO If you're reading this letter, chances are you're an athlete of some kind, whether a professional major league player, a rising collegiate star, an amateur competitor, a weekend warrior or just someone who takes their health and fitness very seriously. You also know and understand the importance that sports nutrition plays in your body's muscle and strength development, overall performance and even recovery. The problem is, the sports nutrition industry is virtually unregulated and wrought with companies that prey on young athletes' ignorance and overhype and under-deliver on label claims and effectiveness. Unfortunately, many athletes don't realize this until it's too late and either their health, reputation, career or all three are jeopardized.
In 2003 when I played for the Indianapolis Colts, I became frustrated that the current supplements I was taking were not helping my performance as promised in advertisements, but were actually hindering my performance and even causing injuries on the football field. After my strength coach advised me to stop taking over-marketed supplements that overpromised and under-delivered, I found my mission in life. This is why I started MusclePharm.
As a professional athlete myself, I would let nothing stand in the way of my career, yet I have seen some of my colleagues not be so lucky. For this reason, I have invested millions of dollars and amassed a team of the world's most respected scientists, physicians, researchers, trainers and athletes to help in my quest to create a superior line of sports nutrition products that are safe, free of banned substances, and are formulated, tested and certified under the most stringent conditions to the highest specifications of any products in the marketplace today. I'm proud to say that at MusclePharm, we don't just make and sell the products, we live the lifestyle. We use MusclePharm on a daily basis, we train in the state-of-the-art performance facility I built to test and perfect our products in real-world scenarios, and we see the results MusclePharm has had in our own lives as well as in the lives of the professional athletes that use and endorse our products.
But don't even take my word for it. As with any product you put in your body, I invite and encourage you to really examine our products, our ingredients and our processes. You too will come to understand how and why they take their mission to bring the most advanced and safest sports nutrition products to the market so seriously. And you will see why some of the world's most accomplished athletes and most respected doctors, researchers and universities have teamed up with MusclePharm to help Fuel The Athlete Inside!

Banish Winter Dryness
By Vicky Uhland
You layer on the moisturizer and drink plenty of fluids, but your skin still has those telltale ashy spots, fine lines, and a tight, dry feeling. Blame your parched pelt on the wintertime combo of frosty temperatures and toasty furnaces, both of which lower humidity and cause your skin to lose moisture. But before you resign yourself to scaly skin until the daffodils bloom, try applying a natural body oil.
Body oils work by mimicking the skin's own oils and forming a barrier that traps moisture next to the skin. In addition, they can plump up the skin and make wrinkles less visible, says Arcadia, California-based dermatologist Dr. David Voron. He notes that body oils are particularly effective for fair-skinned people, who sometimes have less active oil glands, and for the elderly, whose oil glands atrophy as they get older. "Sometimes, you just need to replace the skin's oils with something external," Voron says.
But not all body oils are the same. "Petrolatum- or mineral oil-based products are bad news, as these will block the action of [the body's natural oils] as well as any essential oils in products and inhibit healing and skin moisture self-regulation," says natural beauty expert Kat James, author of The Truth About Beauty (Beyond Words Publishing, 2003). Oils from plants act similarly to skin oil, known as sebum, and get absorbed more easily into the body. But James cautions that these body oils must be cold-pressed, or processed without heat, to keep their natural characteristics.
Natural body oils also have another advantage. When the ingredient label reads "100 percent oil," you don't have to worry about harmful additives. "I'm a big fan of natural oils because you're simplifying," says Roxanne Renee, a massage therapist and health and beauty manager for a natural food store in Colorado. "Many have more purity than lotions that have preservatives and stabilizers."
Renee says body oils can be used by themselves or mixed with essential oils such as lavender, which have their own healing properties. She recommends that body oils be applied immediately after a shower or bath (towel off lightly), so the oil can trap the moisture left on the skin. But she cautions against overdoing it. "Normally when people tell me they feel oily when they put on an oil, they've put on too much," she says. Renee recommends rubbing the oil between your hands to heat and separate it, making it easier to apply. Use just enough to coat both hands with oil, she says.
Beauty expert Kat James suggests these oils for specific skin types:
All skin types
Jojoba, sweet almond and apricot kernel oil, which also work well as carriers for essential oils.
Oily and acne-prone skin
Jojoba, which is actually a wax, mimics the skin's own oils and can even
remove excess sebum.
St. John's wort oil—which is usually mixed in olive oil—calms the skin, and grapeseed oil is an astringent. "Two more expensive, newer oils on the scene that do doub...

Why eat soynuts?
They may reduce blood pressure, cholesterol, and overall risk from coronary heart disease (CHD). If you're a peri-, pre-, or in-the-midst-menopausal woman, they've been documented to reduce hot flashes. And compared to dry roasted peanuts as a snack, soynuts have half the fat and double the protein. I just like them. Unfortunately, the FRE can't get past three.
This is a repost of my original recipe. I added step 4, which describes how to ensure a dry, crispy soynut.
1 cup dried soybeans
1 Rinse soybeans in cool water and place in a bowl large enough to allow beans to double in size. Cover the beans with water; the water level should be a few inches above the beans. Allow the beans to soak at least 8 hours, but not more than 24 hours.
Note: As the beans soak, they absorb water and swell. The hydrated bean will then begin to ferment. If you allow your beans to soak longer than 24 hours, you'll see a small amount of foam collect on the surface of the water. These are harmless gas bubbles, primarily carbon dioxide, that result from the breakdown of the bean's sugar during fermentation.
2 Preheat the oven to 330°F.
3 Spread the soaked beans in one thin layer on a baking sheet. Roast 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 10 or 15 minutes, until well browned and toasted. Remove from oven and let cool.
Note: Although the beans may be roasted in a conventional oven, a convection oven that blows heated air over the beans assists in drying and may reduce total roasting time. Reduce the oven temperature to 310°F if using convection. Don't try to speed the process by raising the oven temperature. A long, slow roast, using either type oven, produces the crispiest soy nut.
Try to remember to stir periodically. The beans will give up moisture and steam/cook for the first 20 minutes. Browning occurs rapidly after the beans are relatively dry. Stirring prevents the beans on the edges from burning.
Finally, don't salt the soybeans. The wet bean will absorb the salt. The salt inside the bean will draw and hold water, preventing the bean from drying effectively. No crispy nuts there.
4 While the beans are cooling (or the next day, or whenever you have time), reduce the oven temperature to 200°F. Return the beans to the tepid oven and forget about them for several hours while they dry. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

THE Quiksilver Pro Gold Coast presented completed Rounds 3 and 4 in a building swell at Snapper Rocks. The event is down to the final 12 and will finish tomorrow, or Wednesday.
Jake Patterson remains insistent that he will hold out for the best swell of the event window and put the surfers in the best conditions the shifting sands of the Superbank will allow - but this aint easy. Kelly didn't want to surf before heading out and and posting to nine pointers, telling you that no-one can guarantee anything except Slater's ability to put points on the board. It's not been great out there, you'd probably be scoring Snapper a 5 out of 10 for quality. Begging the question if they will they move to Kirra for the final two days? Who knows but the forecast is for the swell to be a similar size on Tuesday before peaking on Wednesday, a strong pulse of wind swell will be supplemented by a longer period but smaller swell.
"Hopefully we can get some waves at Kirra either tomorrow or Wednesday and finish in some barrels."Kelly Slater
Kelly Slater and Taj Burrow dominated the scoring, both posting 18 point totals. "That was a lot of fun out there," Burrow said. "The Snapper Bank isn't what it usually is, but there's still some fun sections when the waves offer them. My boards are feeling really good at the moment – really fast and really responsive. This event is usually a good start to the year for me so to be into the Quarters already is a result. These days though, you really need to be putting up solid finishes and wins to be in the hunt."
Despite Burrow's impressive performance, Kelly Slater would not be outdone, posting the day's high heat total of an 18.27 out of a possible 20 to edge out Bede Durbidge and Matt Wilkinson in one of the most exciting clashes of the event.
"It was an exciting heat and both Bede (Durbidge) and Wilko (Matt Wilkinson) were surfing really well," Slater said. "It's fortunate when it's a non-elimination heat and guys are surfing so well – no one gets eliminated. The level has been really, really high here today and it's a good start to the year. Hopefully we can get some waves at Kirra either tomorrow or Wednesday and finish in some barrels."
Julian Wilson proved his mettle once again today, besting reigning World Champion Joel Parkinson and Tahitian Michel Bourez.
"I feel like I'm building momentum throughout this event," Wilson said. "In the first half of that heat, I was still a bit hesitant, but felt like I was getting back into my groove at the end here. It's been a long wait between Pipe and here and I guess I've been shaking off the cobwebs a bit. It feels really good to beat the champ out there. It's a huge confidence booster."
Wilson's win advances him directly to the Quarterfinals.
Mick Fanning closed out the day's affairs with an emphatic Round 4 win over Travis Logie and Brett Simpson. Fanning jumped out to an early lead, utilizing his superior wave selection and razor-sharp precision to collect a solid 15.40 out of a possible 20.
"The level of performance has been so high today," Fanning said. "Travis knocked out Jordy Smith earlier and Brett is really coming into his own at the event. Everyone on tour is dangerous and I just approached that heat by trying to pull out to an early lead and loosen up my surfing. Round 4 is non-elimination so there's slightly less pressure but at the same time, it's a huge advantage to leapfrog over Round 5 and go straight into the Quarters. We'll see what tomorrow brings."

You can look at the Kobo Vox tablet in a couple of different ways.
The objective, unemotional response to it is that it's a middle-of-the-road 7-inch Android tablet that doesn't cost too much got, has OK specs, and a touch of Kobo panache thrown into the interface and the "quilted" back cover that comes in a few different color options.
If you want to be mean about it, you could just say, what's the point? Why bother, Kobo?
I'll go with the objective view and say the Vox is just sort of a meh product. In terms of specs, it's more in line with 2010's Nook Color than the current Nook Tablet ($249) and the Kindle Fire , which retails for the same $199 price.
Weighing in at 14.2 ounces, the Vox has 8GB of internal memory, plus a microSD card slot for adding cards up to 32GB. As with those aforementioned budget tablets, the Vox is a Wi-Fi-only device with no Bluetooth.
The multitouch screen seems decent enough with 1,024x600-pixel resolution and an antiglare coating. But what puts the Vox behind the identically priced Fire is its single-core 800Mhz processor. Both the Fire and Nook Tablet offer 1GHz dual-core processors and the Tablet's the winner for built-in RAM with 1GB to the Fire's 512MB (the Vox also has half a gigabyte of RAM).
As far as the flavor of Android goes, the Vox runs Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and offers access to 15,000 free Android apps--but that's through the free GetJar app store, not the full Android Market.
Except for some bugs that Kobo's doing its best to exterminate through a series of firmware updates, there's nothing terribly wrong with the Vox, but by the same token, there's nothing great to say about it, either.

Members of the Elgin Police Department Animal Control Unit received a complaint on Friday regarding the care of animals in a rental property in the 100 block of Villa Street, a release from police said. At that time it was reported that there were approximately 14 dogs in the home and the health of the animals were in question.
When police got inside the property, they found a total of 22 dogs of varying breeds, along with four cats, which were taken away and brought to Golf Rose Animal Hospital for examination and care.
Three residents of that address -- Sherry L. Dove, 51, Robert A. Groves, 24, and Felicia V. Dove, 19 -- were arrested on the scene. They were each charged with one count of cruel treatment to animals (a Class A misdemeanor), violation of owner's duties (a Class B misdemeanor), and failure to inoculate (a Class C misdemeanor). All three were released on signature bonds with a 9 a.m. court date on June 7 in Elgin Branch Court.
Because of the unsanitary condition of the residence, which included animal feces throughout the living areas, code enforcement was notified and the house was immediately classified as unfit for human occupancy with a 24-hour notice to remedy the condition of the residence.
Elgin residents are reminded that the city has a restriction on the number of dogs being three per single family residence and two per multi-family residence. Anyone with a complaint or concern about animals within the city of Elgin is asked to contact the Elgin Police Department at (847) 289-2500 and request to speak to an Animal Control Officer.

Russian Vending Machines: Where Weird is Normal
A woman does squats for a metro ticket. The Russian Olympic committee installed these machines in a Moscow metro station to promote the Games. If you can do 30 squats in 2 minutes you get a free ticket (a 95 cent value). See the YouTube video behind this image >>
The Good Old Days (2009) when you could still buy several kinds of beer from a vending machine! On January 1st, 2013 Russia finally decided to classify beer as alcohol instead of as food, so now retail locations are restricted.
Would anyone like some freshly squeezed orange juice? Who invented this Willy Wonka? I can't imagine how it actually works but it must. Genius.

G-Star – Clothe your Feet
G-Star footwear looks great at any time of year.
Only G-Star can combine outstanding footwear design with a luxury raw look that makes your shoes stand out from a mile away. Just like its clothing, G-Star footwear is all about passion for the material, and if you're already a fan of G-Star denim and other clothing, you won't be surprised when you fall for the footwear.G-Star Footwear – Form, Function and Fun
All G-Star products are developed with these key concepts in mind. This brand is about more than good-looking clothing; it's about using the very best materials and processes to give you a great looking item that is comfortable to wear and eye-catching to look at. That doesn't mean shoes that are overloaded with embellishments, colours and features; it means shoes that use traditional form to make them easy to wear and transforming them with design that's simple and smart.

- Campus Term Agitator – sleek, flat and beautiful to look at, these street trainers have a rubber sole and mesh finish in grey and white, giving them an almost metallic look.
- Zone Locator – these trainers have the "GSR" brand embroidered black-on-black along the sides as well as the "G-Star Raw Denim" legend in white, making it clear where your footwear has come from. The utilitarian style of these trainers means they can be worn with a variety of outfits and always look great.
- Hoffman Canvas – these flat trainers look like the classic lace-up plimsoll, and are made in denim to bring the style right up to date. Contrasting white eyelets for the laces are all it takes to elevate this design from something ordinary to something desirable.
These are just some of the styles of footwear available from G-Star which also does high-top trainers, flip flops and much more. If you love the way G-Star makes clothes, there's no reason why you wouldn't be taken by the time and detail that goes into producing their footwear ranges.G-Star Footwear and More

A city slicker moves to the country and decides he's going to start farming. He goes to the local co-op and tells the man, "Give me 100 baby chickens."
The co-op man complies.
A week later the man returns and says, "Give me 200 baby chickens."
The co-op man complies.
Again, a week later the man returns. This time he says, "Give me 500 baby chickens."
"Wow!" the co-op man replies. "You must really be doing well.
"Naw," said the man with a sigh. "I'm either planting them too deep or too far apart!"

Team Fortress 2 blocks item drops for idlers
Gosh, it's been over four years since Team Fortress 2 introduced random item drops. Four years of people standing idle in servers waiting for hats. Curiously, Valve's now chosen to clamp down on that. It's all perfectly reasonable but, well, hasn't everyone already moved onto idling in other games to score Steam Trading Cards?
"We recently made a change that helps ensure players are playing TF2, not just leaving their computers on in order to get item drops," Valve explained in a blog post yesterday. "As of last week, players can no longer receive item drops unless they are actively playing the game."
"Active" players are people who are: on a sever with Valve Anti-Cheat enabled; not running TF2 in the terminal-like 'textmode'; only running one copy of TF2; and responding to drop notifications without using an external program. You know: people who are actually playing TF2. They're not affected at all.
Valve says the change is to "designed to make the TF2 experience equally rewarding for all players." Though, farming items is also a messy loose end as Valve introduces more and more things to trade with others or sell on Steam's Community Market. It'll be interesting to see if Steam Trading Cards receive similar changes once the initial hype wears off.
