Octomom is still hunting for a place to call home ... because TMZ has learned the mom of 14 will NOT be moving into that Palmdale home after all because she claims the realtors REFUSED to let her see inside before escrow closed.
As TMZ first reported, Octo put eight months worth of rent into an escrow account to rent a 5-bedroom, 3-bath pad. According to our sources, while the dough was clearing escrow, she asked to check out the inside of the house -- since she had only seen pics.
Our sources say the realtor REFUSED and told Octo she wasn't allowed see the house until the deal was closed ... but gave no explanation why. We're told Nadya was furious and told the realtor she needed to see the digs in person before letting THOUSANDS of dollars clear escrow, but the realtor wouldn't cooperate and even kept her from speaking to the landlord.
According to our sources, Octo felt the deal was turning shady fast ... so she pulled the plug on the whole thing. Now she's looking at other available options and we're told two other houses have recently given the green light.
Oh puhleeeese Octo. Your out of control tribe totally destroyed a home, you were one payday away from homeless, being evicted from the home you turned into a garbage dump and YOU WOULDN'T MOVE IN BECAUSE YOU COULDN"T SEE THE PLACE!! Bytch, a cardboard box behind a subway would be a better place than the place you destroyed! I think you just want to be rid of your brood so you can be out on your own.
and you would think with all the money she has used on her face and body she would look somewhat decent but damn she looks like she is in her 50's.. she can pass for snookies mom......
that was the realtors excuse after he/she came to their senses.... WOULD YOU RENT TO HER?
when is California going to investigate this creature, everyone knows she is hiding money while she defrauds the state and its people...
Translation: Owners pulled a credit report on Octo. End of house deal (IMHO).
This place was $2,150 a month for 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 3-car garage, a pool, and 14,000 square feet of backyard. One-bedroom apartments in NYC and DC go for that. Sounds like someone was trying to pull a fast one with a gutted wreck of a house and didn't plan on the renter having national media attention.
Glad *someone* pulled out...
Looks like her check bounced!
I think she spent the money for the house already. She will be doing full porn with in 40 days and on Dr Phil show in 42 days from now saying;
"Dr Phil, it's hard to raise 14 kids on a self pleasure video alone. You can only do it a few times before it gets old. Full porn is where the money is. I guess i was just testing the waters by starting out in self pleasure porn. It's not like I have a choice. I know I said I would never. Just like when I said I would never do porn, just like I sad I would never be a stripper, just like I said I would never get plastic surgery and I did. I guess I was just talking sh*it."
I know it's stupid but that's what I dreamt at nap time today. Don't call me crazy!
That good!!!!! Because she was broke money!!! that too many 14 children from rent house.... She was bad mother and no work!!!! The 14 kid must go to frost home for bad mother and good mother and no take care her kid. She was porn work. It is not good her work from her 14 kids and she went back home from late work..... She must go to jail from she was porn and bad mother
Never trust a real estate agent. Or a lawyer. Ever.
Good to see Ocho-ho is showing common sense and due diligence in her daily choices in life!
Palmdale is GREATLY relieved.
I think she is smart,there are prolly cameras hidden in the walls

About Deborah Thurley
We are a family of five living in Singapore. We have loved staying in luxury villas and hotels, and have finally decided to buy a villa of our own. Having travelled and lived in the Caribbean and Asia, we have dreamed our perfect luxury hideaway into existance. Villa Casuarina blends the best of modern comforts and conveniences with cool beach chic.
Deborah Thurley purchased this villa in 2012
Why Deborah Thurley chose Bangtao beach
We love Phuket, and we love Laguna and its surrounds. There's so much to do and enjoy! Here are some of the places and activities we've fallen in love with. Fabulous cuisine on your doorstep - Thai, pizza and pasta, fine dining to take-away!.Chill and relax and enjoy a sundowner and great food on the beach ...shop in Canal Village for gorgeous silk in the Jim Thomson Outlet, or at Lemongrass House for beautiful organic spa products. The village boasts massage, handicrafts, clothing boutiques, Thai silver and art galleries, and convenience stores within a few minutes walk of the villa. There's quad biking and horse riding on the beach for kids and adults, and the spectacular Bang Tao beach just round the corner. We love this corner of Phuket and decided to buy our own villa in Sai Taan so we could spend more time here. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
What makes this villa unique
Growing up in the Caribbean and spending so much time there influenced our choice of design, colour and furnishings We fell in love with a friend's villa and wanted to create a unique island-style beach retreat for our family to relax, unwind and enjoy being together in this gorgeous Thai hideaway. Villa Casuarina is this dream made real. Ocean blues around the pool, bleached driftwood style furniture with splashes of Thai art, sandwashed floors, cool tiles and warm honey-toned wood, impossibly comfortable teak four poster beds ...we invite you to come and be part of the dream!

You don't need to inspect Iowa caucuses to find political tampering by big money contributors. One needs look no further than the state of Oregon to find elections which are purchased by 'the major political contributor' -- unless somehow one considers public employee unions exempt from the dialogue.
Nevertheless, those on the receiving end of the contributions will never pass any legislation that curtails these 'gifts' -- and the cycle continues for the next 'chosen few'.
I feel that "term limits" are the answer to a more fair democracy as well....
Corporations won't spend as much on a candidate if there"a "cap" on their usefulness!
I now have a new found respect for you. Maybe we aren't as far apart as I thought.
I think every other letter you have ever written to the editor over the years has made my conservative blood boil! We couldn't be more opposite in our politics. Frankly, your political views have made me feel ill and disgusted. Your previous letters have left me scratching my head and wondering how could someone take positions that are so morally wrong?
And then you shatter all of that by writing this touching, tribute to these three good men. You are a much better man than I ever gave you credit for.
You are so right, if all of us did a better job of being of service to each other and doing good to the very end of our lives, as these men did, it would be great tonic for all that ails this world.
A liberal and a conservative finally agreeing on something? Amazing.
Term limits would be a great start.
Next, consider political parties. What actual benefit do the Reps. or Dems. offer their members? I think it would be a safe assumption that most members of either party are not in total harmony with the party platform, or the candidates presented for election. And surly the opportunity to vote for 'the chosen one' can't fit the entire spectrum of individual beliefs.
The leaders of the Dems. and Reps. call the shots, not the voters. Based on who gives the most, congress is in place to submit/tie up legislation to protect those financial interests.
Is it odd that most members of congress see a dramatic increase in their bottom line after just a few years in office? Explain that (truthfully) to the average citizen. In fact, the taxpayers shouldn't even have to pay these clowns minimum wage, based on their work effort and ethics.
So, unless there is some advantage to being a party member that has been overlooked, the most glaring contribution offered by the respective parties is continual congressional gridlock with little chance of actually doing the job. Otherwise, it's just John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi dictating to their minions.

Lol.. finally something bob sap can be good at
- wow January 1, 2014
Man it'd be great to see Bob not take a dive for once. I saw him fight in Road FC against a complete slob in Korea who weighed in at 85 kg and midway through the first round when he tried to act like he was losing and started turtling up, I yelled out, " YOU SUCK BOB…YOU SUCK." Then magically he threw a couple up kicks then got up and threw some retard punches..It was a couple years ago, so I think I remember him finishing out the round and then turtling again in round two to fake lose the fight. A bunch of people were looking at me like I was being an asshole…Honestly, it's like no one knows he goes around the world throwing fights.

Bob Sapp beat Fedor…A sentence I never thought I would ever say
- Deviant Soul January 1, 2014
hahaha nice one!!!
- greengiant January 1, 2014
If fedor know how to arm wrestle he would have won. He let bob get his wrist backwards. Fedor needed to curl his wrist in.

- KBF January 1, 2014
Fedor did well but strength is Sapps strength.
- Fila Fil January 1, 2014
Of course Sapp would win. Those who are taller are naturally stronger because we're like a bigger species and the extra muscle helps Sapp. Props to Fedor for accepting the challenge.
- kidfrosty January 1, 2014
^^^so Mr.Big & Strong, what is your explanation for Fedor beating Hakuho? The smaller man handily smoked the bigger man, completely dismantling your well-researched theory. Happy New Year, Bruno.
- Cez617 January 1, 2014
Sapp wins at something? hahaha. He may rest in peace now
- mmafan11 January 1, 2014
@greengiant…how do u propose Fedor stop a 350lb Sapp with Arms like Tree trunks and Hands like Baseball Mitts from Sapp bending his wrist.
WTF do u think Fedor was trying to do with all his strength? He was trying to stop that from happening but he ws just out muscled by a much much stronger guy.
Unlike the Fatty Sumo, Sapp actually has a lot of really strong Muscle to his weight vs Fat on the giant Sumo.
- Joez January 2, 2014
Absolutely love it when they bring in PRIDE guys to do gameshows. They even had the PRIDE victory music! Love the smiles at the end on Sapp and Fedor.

I had a good friend at school. I sat next to him in the orchestra and he taught me how to smoke cigarettes. Then one day when we were in the sixth form, Paul hanged himself.

Dr Christian Jessen: What 'Jessica Ennis is fat' really means
Last week British heptathlete Jessica Ennis was called fat. Understandably there has been a media uproar, and eating disorder groups have rushed to explain how they have their work cut out in the face of such stupidity. I would concur, except that I think this isn't quite what happened.

Dr Christian Jessen: Make your seven minutes with a GP count
I get frustrated listening to complaints about doctors. Frustrated because I wish we were doing our jobs better and got fewer complaints but also frustrated because so many of the complaints are from patients who haven't been given a clear understanding of how GPs work. In our time-poor working lives, I want to advise professionals on how to get the most from that rare and valuable commodity: a GP appointment.

Is this the end of women's biological clock?
Nothing is more exciting in the world of science than a discovery that completely contradicts what we believe to be true and means the textbooks to have to be rewritten. As a doctor I found the recent announcement that ovaries may be able to produce an infinite number of eggs absolutely earth-shattering - and a little frightening, too.

Is it too late to tackle our drink problem?
Alcohol is our favourite drug by far. I know few people who don't drink, but while most of us use it for enjoyment, an increasing number use it as a crutch. Our drug laws become a mire of contradiction when one considers that alcohol causes significantly more harm than illegal drugs like heroin and cannabis.

Is Facebook good or bad for our health?
Surprisingly, the latest advice about what is good for us does not involve a new exercise fad, a clever gadget or even a new superfood. Apparently now it is Facebook which might be good for our health - and may calm, reduce stress and tension, and lower heart rates. It can even trigger a happy high, according to the latest psychological study.

We need to man up to avoid sterility
A story on a potential new type of male contraception has caused much mirth this week. A paper published in the Journal of Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology has revealed the effects of ultrasound waves on sperm production. Two 15-minute ultrasound sessions, two days apart, directed at the testicles seemed to be the best regime for optimum sperm suppression. But men shouldn't panic: so far testing has only been carried out on rats.

Duck out of quack nutrition
By now, most of us are already sick of reading about January weight-loss tips and fitness drives. But when people awake to the realisation that their bodies are in desperate need of an overhaul, instead of settling down to some hard work to change things for the better, many look for quick-fix solutions. The same applies to those diagnosed with illnesses where the prognosis is not good.

Dangers of men's coy body shame
Worrying about weight and looks are preoccupations traditionally associated with the female sex, while the stereotypical man has a more nonchalant view of his physical appearance. But new research has revealed that men are conforming less to this stereotype - and perhaps are much more emotionally fragile than we previously thought.

Vital signs: Work together, sleep well and lose weight
I have always thought it telling of our reluctance to make significant changes to our lifestyles that we make resolutions but once a year. We start in earnest but if they fail, oh well, better wait until next year before trying again.

MERRILLVILLE | It was a night of good tennis, bad weather and lengthy delays.
After evening storms forced part of the first round indoors and a lighting outage delayed play during the championship, host Merrillville held on to beat Andrean 4-1.
The Pirates led the finals before it officially started because Andrean did not field a No. 2 doubles team. Merrillville ran away with that advantage as the No. 1 doubles team of Ronald Mayersky and Sam Dinka rolled to a 6-0, 6-0 win.
Just minutes later, No. 1 singles player Nygel Jackson closed out a 6-0, 6-1 win and gave the Pirates the sectional title.
"It went pretty well," Jackson said. "(We) would have hoped it would've gone better, with the lights and the weather and stuff, but it went all right."
Play had been delayed for nearly 25 minutes during the championship round when the court lights suddenly went out. After the bulbs finally warmed up again, Merrillville turned the figurative lights out on Andrean.
"It was a struggle at the beginning," Jackson said of dealing with the delays. "But the same kind of thing happened two years ago, so I was kind of used to it and more confident.
"Now, we want to go deep in regionals. We'll face whoever is up next and hope to win."
At No. 3 singles, Montriel Shell picked up a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 win for the Pirates. Mike Kinasiewicz won 6-3, 6-2 at No. 2 singles for Andrean.
Rain started falling heavily about an hour into the night's first round, forcing players off the court. At that time, Merrillville already led 4-0 against Lake Station, but Andrean trailed River Forest 2-1.
Officials and coaches decided to finish the first round inside the Bryant J. Matthews Fieldhouse. Once inside, the Pirates finished off a sweep of Lake Station as Williams won 6-3, 7-5 at No. 2 singles.
Andrean and River Forest were quickly tied 2-2 after Kinasiewicz won at No. 2 singles. A long No. 1 singles match finally gave the 59ers the win as Anthony Zaleski earned a hard-fought 6-1, 7-6 decision over Bryan Fleming.
The championship match between Andrean and Merrillville was played outside.

Kobo Releases Massive Update to Current Generation of e-ReadersPosted by: | Comments
Kobo has unveiled a brand new firmware update for their compete modern of line of e-readers. This includes the Kobo Glo, Kobo Aura, Kobo Aura HD, and the brand new Kobo Aura H2O. It includes a bevy of enhancements, such as the ability to turn off the X-Ray inspired Beyond the Book.
New Touch Zone: The new software adds a fourth option in the Reading Settings menu to customize the tap zones for turning pages and accessing the menu options. The new setting is optimized for one-handed reading.
Keyboard: The keyboard now offers the option to use accented versions of letters by long pressing on them.

Like most firmware upgrades, not all countries receive it at the same time, as it would kill the servers to have millions of people updating it at once.

Safely eject the Kobo from your computer and unplug the USB cable; the update will automatically install.
How to Load eBooks on the New Kindle Basic 2014Posted by: | Comments
The new Amazon Kindle Basic 2014 edition is the first entry level Kindle to ever be shipped with a touchscreen. This makes it way more intuitive to interact with reading eBooks or just browsing around. Today, I will teach you how to load your own eBooks on this e-reader.
First of all, Amazon Kindle e-readers read AZW and MOBI as a primary format that are easily found online. Many European bookstores actually sell eBooks in MOBI format and embed them with digital watermarks to curb piracy. There are also many bookstores and websites all over the internet that sell or allow people to download them. Sure you can buy or download, but whats the step steps?
Amazon has feature many people are unaware of. It allows you to send attachments via Email to your Amazon Kindle. If you have have registered an Amazon account and attached your Kindle to do, during the setup, you are half-way done. You need to visit your Account Management Page and then visit Settings. Near the bottom you will see a few email address and the associated devices. It should give your first name and a few random numbers, mine is email@example.com. You can then enter that email has the destination email address and attach any MOBI books you have downloaded from the internet and in a few minutes they will be on your Kindle Basic!
I really like a program called CALIBRE. It does some powerful stuff, like allowing you to add coverart to an eBook you have downloaded that may not have one, or to change the authors name. The feature I dig the most is being able to convert eBooks from one format to another. EPUB is one of the most common book formats out there, and is 100% incompatible with the Kindle. In the video below, I will show you how to convert an EPUB book to a MOBI one and also how to use this program on a very general level.
Finally, many people simply copy books to their Kindle Documents directory via a file manager or Windows Explorer. You can get a sense of the internal directory structure of your e-Reader and where you should be copying books manually.
Kindle Basic 2013 vs Kindle Basic Touch 2014Posted by: | Comments
Welcome to another Good e-Reader Comparison Video! Today we do a side by side comparison with the Kindle Basic 2013 edition with D-PAD and the enhanced 2014 model with a touchscreen. In this video you will get a sense on how they perform with eBooks, PDF files, Shopping and check out the main differences.
The Kindle Basic 2013 model has physical page turn buttons, a D-Pad for navigation and hardware buttons to bring up the virtual keyboard or access the home screen. Typing on the virtual keyboard is a real pain, especially when you have to enter complex WIFI passwords or to take notes when reading an eBook. It also lacks a true home screen and main navigation menu to access the store or library. This is as bare bones as you can get, there are no translation features, X-Ray or GoodReads.
The Kindle Basic Touch 2014 edition has the same firmware as the Kindle Paperwhite 2. This gives you a true home screen, with a UI at the top that can easily grant you access to the Kindle Store, GoodReads Search or access your settings. The touchscreen is really refined, I remember not to long ago they were completely woeful.
If you have an older Kindle Basic, without a touchscreen this video will give you a compelling enough reason to upgrade. It costs a paltry $79, with Special Offers, which is a fancy way of saying it displays advertisements on the home screen and screensaver.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook 10.1 Now AvailablePosted by: | Comments
Barnes and Noble has just released the 10.1 inch version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook Android tablet today, and it joins the 7 inch edition that came out two months ago. The Nations largest bookseller now has two devices that they are marketing across all of their sales channels, encouraging US and UK based readers to invest themselves in the Nook ecosystem.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook features a 10.1 inch screen and a resolution of 1280×800 and 149 PPI. The screen itself won't win many awards in terms of picture clear clarity, but if you are only reading eBooks, magazines and newspapers it should do the job.
Underneath the hood is a quad-core 1.2GHz Marvell CPU with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB internal storage. This model does have support for a 64 GB micro SD, if you need to get more space for all of your music and videos. Unlike Nooks of the past, this model has two cameras, a rear facing 3 MP edition and front facing 1.3 MP for video calls. It weighs 17.28 oz. (489.9 g) and should garner you 10 hours of battery life via the 6.8 mAh battery.
Barnes and Noble is hyping the fact this tablet costs $299 and comes with $200 of free content. What exactly do you get? Well, Customers will receive four free bestselling eBooks including And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, Two of a Kind (Fool's Gold Series #12) by Susan Mallery and The Best American Series 2014: 12 Short Stories & Essays by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, as well as an episode each of three hit TV shows: The Newsroom and Curb Your Enthusiasm from HBO, as well as Disney's The Octonauts.
The resolution on this tablet is actually a downgrade from the Nook HD+ that many customers have, but it does have a modern version of Android 4.4, which will insure almost all of the apps from Google Play will work. I think the biggest strength that Barnes and Noble has when selling this 10.1 tablet is their support network. If anything goes wrong with your device, you can simply bring it back to any bookstore and they can take a look at it. In most cases, they can swap out your old model for a new one right then and there.
Amazon Kindle Voyage e-Reader Ships TodayPosted by: | Comments
The complete modern generation of Amazon tablets and e-readers are now available to be shipped when new orders are being placed. Pre-orders for the Kindle Voyage are also starting to ship, but new orders have a delay of a few weeks.
Amazon originally announced their complete modern lineup of devices on September 17th and actually never orchestrated a media event for it, which was a stark departure from previous product releases.
The Kindle Voyage is likely the most innovative e-reader to be released in quite sometime. It has very high PPI and a new page turn mechanism that is meant to provide haptic feedback.
"Kindle Voyage is designed to disappear so you can lose yourself in a story," said Dave Limp, Senior Vice President, Amazon Devices. "This is the most advanced Kindle we've ever built. Customer response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we're working to build more as fast as we can. We can't wait to get Kindle Voyage into the hands of readers starting today."
Amazon Confirms Pop-Up Store Locations in CaliforniaPosted by: | Comments
Amazon has confirmed to Good e-Reader that they are opening up two pop-up stores in California to take advantage of the holiday season. The first location will be in Westfield San Francisco Centre and Sacramento, in the Westfield Galleria at Roseville.
Amazon has been testing the waters of retail for a number of years with pop-up stores, lockers and vending machines. Industry experts are wondering if this is a larger push for permanent physical retail presence, similar to the likes of Apple's retail stores.
There will be a number of devices that will be on display with product specialists on hand to answer any questions or concerns. The Kindle Voyage, Kindle Basic, Kids Tablet, HD6, HD7 and Amazon Kindle Fire 8.9 will be available. Amazon will also be showcasing their Fire TV and Fire Phone and they will also insure you can buy a data plan with AT&T for all of the new hardware.
It is interesting to note that the Westfeld Galleria has hosted their fare share of pop-up stores in the past. Google opened up a Play Store there recently that allowed people to play with Nexus phones and tablets.
Kindle Basic Touch vs Kobo Aura H2OPosted by: | Comments
Welcome to another Good e-Reader Comparison Video! Today we check out the Amazon Kindle Basic 2014 Touch Edition and the Kobo Aura H2O. Both of these readers are the latest and greatest and are getting a ton of media attention. Today, we look at the overall reading experience with eBooks and PDF files and also evaluate the big differences between them.
The Kobo H2O has a dynamic home screen, whenever you open up books, the internet browser or other core functions, they are added to the home area. This enables you to quickly access content, without having to constantly jump into various sub-menus. The Kindle Basic home screen is basically your library shelf.
Kobo gives more flexibility and control over the eBook reading experience, but the advanced options may be overwhelming for some users. They tend to have scroll bars that you can employ to augment the size of the font and even allow you to load in your own font styles. Amazon aims for a more simplistic system, which just gives you different font sizes, margins and line spacing.
The Basic really excels in reading PDF documents. You can pinch and zoom to isolate particular regions and you get a small preview window on the top left corner. This assists you in determining where exactly you are in the document if you have really zoomed in. One of the things I really liked was the ability to use highlights, take notes or use the translate feature on PDF Files. The H2O does not have pinch and zoom, and instead you have to utilize manual zoom, which is not very intuitive.
Cybook Ocean Finally Gets a Release DatePosted by: | Comments
Bookeen has been teasing the e-reader world with the eight inch Cybook Ocean since 2013. The company has had huge problems with getting this one to market, and I often thought that this model is cursed. Fear not, the Cybook Ocean will be available to order at the end of the month and will start shipping out November 14th 2014.
The Cybook Ocean features an 8 inch screen and has a resolution of 1024×758. This model adheres to the current trend of packing a front-lit display on the e-reader and I was told that it is on par with the Kindle Paperwhite 2, in terms of overall screen clarity. Additionally, this is the first eight inch e-reader in the world that has their screen flush with the bezel.
Underneath the hood lurks a 800 MHZ processor, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory. If this is not enough to store the books you have purchased from the on-board bookstore, you can simply insert an SD Card.
Tactile purists will enjoy the physical page turn buttons on the bottom of the device. It can also be interacted with solely via the touchscreen if that is your thing.
The Cybook Ocean was originally announced in October 2013 and was slatted to be available that holiday season. Various setbacks plagued the French company and it looks like it is finally going to be available in November and the cost will be 179€ or $229 USD.
Amazon Kindle Basic Touch vs Kindle Paperwhite 2Posted by: | Comments
Whenever Amazon releases new products, inevitably the question arises, should I upgrade? The New Kindle Basic only costs a paltry $79 and is the first model of this class to incorporate a touchscreen. How does the Basic compare to the Paperwhite 2? Today, we dive deep into the eBook, PDF and hardware experience.
What was most surprising about our head to head comparison was the new Kindle Basic 2014 edition actually had a better screen than the Paperwhite 2. We saw the Kindle Paperwhite had a beige tinge to the background when reading a book, while the Basic had almost a pure white display. This made text really pop, and serious readers would notice a difference putting them side by side.
The Basic ships with the exact same firmware as the Paperwhite 2, so you get GoodReads right on the navigation bar. This allows you to tap into the extensive eBook discovery and social community aspect and form online bookclubs.
Amazon Kindle Basic 2014 ReviewPosted by: | Comments
The Kindle Basic for the first time ever has a new touchscreen, all prior models had a D-Pad and physical page turn keys. Customers switching over to the new Kindle from a smartphone or a tablet will find it an easy adjustment. Today, we take a comprehensive look at the e-reading and overall hardware experience to give you a sense on how it performs.
The Kindle Basic features a six inch touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 600 at 167 ppi. The touchscreen technology is using Infrared, courtesy of Neonode. The fonts and overall screen clarity have been dramatically increased and in a head to head comparison with the Kindle Paperwhite 2, the Kindle Basic had a whiter background and crisper fonts, which was very surprising.
Underneath the hood is a 1 GHZ Freescale processor and 512 MB of RAM. Amazon has doubled up the amount of internal memory from 2 GB on prior models of the basic model to 4 GB. This in effect gives you the ability to store more books and PDF files on your device, without having to run in there and free up space.
Amazon has gone more angular with the Basic touchscreen Kindle, but surprisingly, despite its abandonment of physical controls, the gadget is actually heavier than its predecessor, and slightly larger in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The case is made from a hard plastic, instead of hard rubber. This makes it feel less premium, but at $79 for the entry level cost, I am not complaining.
I am a big fan of the new direction that Amazon has took with the Kindle Basic. Now that this model has replaced the prior generation, Amazon currently does not offer any other e-readers that don't have a touchscreen, which should make it more accessible for the average reader.
This new model has the exact same firmware as the Kindle Paperwhite 2, and mirrors it in all respects. You have the ability to directly access over two million books via the Kindle bookstore. I like the fact that the e-reader version of the store looks the same as the website, so there is no weird adjustment you have to undertake. GoodReads also plays a prominent role on the main UI, which is the social eBook discovery website they purchased.
Reading on a digital reader and buying books online is normally a solitary experience. Unlike visiting a real bookstore, that is populated by staff that love books and customers all there for the same reason, e-readers make you feel alone. GoodReads gives you access to virtual book clubs and provides a layered social element, which is refreshing.
Amazon provides a number of options in their sub-menu system that are not overly complicated to the average user. Some of the most notable ones is Kindle Freetime, which allows parents to establish a permission based system and account management to let little Johnny to read, but maybe not access the store or internet browser. Speaking of internet, the "Experimental Browser" is still in beta, almost a seven years since it was first unveiled.
The Kindle software feels really polished, you will seldom have to wait a few seconds for a menu to open or for a process to launch. This is really refreshing because I remember only a few years ago where I frequently had to put up with full page refreshes that took ten seconds and clunky interfaces that were counter intuitive.
If you have used a Kindle over the course of the last few years, Amazon really hasn't done anything new with the software, but has promised future firmware updates. One of the updates will allow you to find out more about an author, if the book is apart of a series and what the other titles are and allow you to get discounts on purchasing them all at once.
eBook Reading Experience
The one thing that really surprised me on the overall reading experience was being able to pinch and zoom while reading PDF files. The Kobo Aura H20, which costs $199 does not have this ability. Instead, you have a really clunky interface that takes 4 steps to isolate a particular region in a document.
The Kindle Basic handles pinching and zooming like a boss. Its more responsive than the Kindle Paperwhite 2 in this regard. When exploring a complex document a small preview window appears on the top left hand corner, which contains a snapshot of the page you are on. This helps orient you on where exactly you are on the page.
The other aspect that I really liked was the ability to take notes, make highlights and translate words in a PDF document. When you really think about it, a PDF is basically one giant image. Amazon is the only company that lets you augment text or give you advanced options to really craft a solid PDF experience. The only company to to do it better is Sony, and that is via the Digital Paper, which is PDF focused and costs $999.
The average user will find themselves reading books they just purchased from Amazon. This is where the reader really shines, there are a number of options to really refine the look and feel of a book, but doesn't have a ton of complex options. You can change the size of the font and whatever one you select instantly appears on the screen, without the need of existing the reading menu and saving the options. You can also change the linespacing and margins. Page turn speed has been dramatically increased over prior models, you will likely never notice a full page refresh and the entire process is lightning quick.
In many cases, you might be reading a book and not understand a specific word. There are two built in dictionaries issued to customers living in North America. If you live in Japan or China, for the first time ever the Kindle Basic is being marketed there and has those countries respected dictionaries bundled on it.
Another feature I like is translations. This works in both Amazon purchased books and PDF files. You can select a specific word or complete body of text and translate it from one language to another. Any market that Amazon officially supports is available. Currently there are 15 languages from Simplified Chinese to French. This might be useful to someone who is learning a new language, or if a particular book has a number of idioms.
Wrap up
In the end, this is one of the best entry level e-readers ever made. It has cool features like X-Ray, so if you are juggling many different books at once, you can get a sense of the major characters, places and things referenced in the book.
This $79 entry level e-reader is perfect for someone who has never had one before or are thinking of giving the Amazon ecosystem a try. Owners of the D-Pad enabled Basic model from years past, will find this edition is a very solid upgrade and well worth the money.
4 GB of internal storage
Pinch and Zoom PDF Files
Page Turns are lightning quick
Same Firmware as Kindle Paperwhite 2
Battery Life is weaker than the prior Kindle Basic
e-Reader is heavier than prior versions
Internet Browser prone to crashing
Rating: 9/10
Flight Attendants Union Challenges e-Readers on AirplanesPosted by: | Comments
The FAA relaxed restrictions on airplanes last November that allowed passengers to use e-readers, smartphones and tablets on all phases of travel. This has been a boon to readers, who simply want to immerse themselves in a great book. Not everyone is happy with the FAA, as the Flight Attendants Union filed a lawsuit last Friday, challenging the use of electronics.
As outlined by the Associated Press , the lawsuit alleges that the FAA "acted improperly" and failed to follow proper protocol implementing the changes. A lawyer for the Association of Flight Attendants argued that portable electronic devices distract passengers from safety announcements and can "become dangerous projectiles."
The Association of Flight Attendants also argued that the FAA did not properly handle the process of changing its guidance. Apparently the FAA failed to follow the guidelines of the Administrative Procedure Act, which requires government agencies to give public notice and allow time for commenting when a rule is changed.
This lawsuit may not really go anywhere, as the three judges presiding over the case are not going to countermand the relaxed restrictions. "Airlines have always had discretion on how to handle this," Judge Harry T. Edwards told a lawyer for the union, the 60,000-member Association of Flight Attendants.
Since the FAA allowed e-readers on all stages of air flights, over 31 airlines have adopted the use of electronics and they account for 95% of all commercial traffic in the US. A good rule of thumb, try at least to feign attention to the safety presentations.
Amazon Plans New Pop-Up Store in ManhattanPosted by: | Comments
Amazon has been toying with the idea of a physical brick and motor store for quite awhile. The Seattle based company is taking the first few tentative steps towards retail by opening a temporary pop up store on 34th Street in Manhattan across the street from the Empire State Building just in time for this year's holiday season.
The experimental pop-up store will function as a small warehouse, holding limited inventory for same-day deliveries only in New York. If a customer orders a product online, they can visit the store and pick it up in person.
The store also intends on showing off the complete modern lineup of Kindle e-Readers, tablets, smartphones and Fire TV. This will give customers a chance to play with the tech in person and have experienced reps to walk people through the key features. Amazon will also be selling the hardware and running daily contests.
Amazon has been experimenting with temporary retail locations since December 2013, when it ran one in San Francisco. During the summer of 2014 Amazon took the show on the road to China and went to a series of locations in Shanghai and Beijing.
If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere, says the old adage. Media and customers will likely be flocking to this retail outlet to gain insight on how Amazon does brick and motor.
Kobo to Exclusively Focus on e-Readers and AppsPosted by: | Comments
Kobo has experimented with many iterations of Android driven tablets, but has decided that their primary focus is going to be e-readers and apps.
The brand new Kobo H2O waterproof e-reader started shipping last week and CEO Michael Tamblyn said had achieved the highest rate of pre-orders of any other Kobo device. However, he also revealed tablet devices were no longer a focus area for the company. Instead, it will concentrate on three main e-reader models, the Kobo Touch, Kobo Aura and the new H2O.
Kobo has been developing tablets since 2011, with the advent of the Kobo Vox. The Toronto based company has done a number of followups, such as the Kobo Arc, Kobo Arc 7 and Kobo Arc 10 HD. Increased competition from notable vendors such as Apple, Amazon Samsung and Sony have relegated Kobo branded tablets to a novelty and not a must buy.
Tamblyn verified the exit of the tablet market by confirming "The tablet devices we already have out there will continue to be sold, but we are not at this point planning any new tablets."
Kobo scored a major coup de tat when it reached an agreement with Sony to take over their digital book business. This resulted in over 25,000 new customers coming over to the Kobo ecosystem. Going forward, Sony has promised that their new smartphones and tablets will have the Kobo reading app pre-installed.
The future of Kobo looks bright. The company is focusing their energies on marketing their complete line of e-readers to international markets and refining their apps for Android and iOS. There really isn't any need anymore to spend a copious amount of money, trying to compete against the big boys, when all you need is to have an exciting ecosystem and compelling apps.

Iraq, on the other hand, we had no legitimate reason to be there, and while it may have seemed like at least a benefit to get rid of Saddam, fact was he was the only one keeping the place from turning into a perpetual state of civil war and chaos that could allow extremists to take over. And the only thing worse than a supporter of extremists being in control of a country, is extremists themselves. Not to mention the sheer amount of money we've wasted there, can't forget about that.

Monica's Chicken Pozole
- 4 ounces Roma tomatoes
- 1 small chopped yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo
- 1 tablespoon canola oil, plus more for saute pan
- 1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 3 pounds canned hominy, drained
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 8 ounces cooked chicken thigh meat
- Spinach leaves, for serving
- Fried corn tortilla strips, for garnish
- Sliced avocado quarters, for garnish
- Shredded Pepper Jack cheese, for garnish
- Chopped green onion, for garnish
- Cilantro springs, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for garnish
Preheat the grill to medium.
Put the tomatoes on the grill or in a cast iron pan. Grill until the tomato skins are blackened and charred. Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, chipotle and 1 tablespoon of oil to a food processor. Puree until well mixed, with uniform texture and no large chunks. Coat a medium saucepan, over medium heat, with oil and pour in the tomato puree. Saute until the mixture is thick and most of the liquid has been cooked out, about 10 or 15 minutes. Add the oregano and saute for another 5 minutes. Add the bay leaf, hominy and stock. Reduce the heat and simmer until the oil rises to the surface of the stock, about 1 hour. Shred the chicken and stir it into the soup mixture.
To serve, line soup bowls with spinach leaves. Ladle the pozole over the spinach. Garnish each bowl with 5 tortilla strips, a sliced avocado quarter, 1 tablespoon of shredded Pepper Jack Cheese, green onions, cilantro sprigs and a lime wedge on the side.
