I've been interested to read one of Margery Allingham's Albert Campion books ever since I saw Peter Davidson's portrayal on a BBC television series some years back. Books in the series have recently become available for Kindle at low prices, so I bought Police at the Funeral.
Albert Campion, the amateur detective of these books, bears a resemblance to Dorothy Sayer's Lord Peter Wimsey, and it's not by accident. Campion began as a parody of Lord Peter, but took on a life of his own. Nevertheless, they're still alike enough to be brothers, except that Campion wears horn rimmed glasses instead of Wimsey's monocle.
In Police at the Funeral, Campion goes to stay in a great house in Cambridge, at the request of a friend, and of his fiancee who is a lady's companion there. The resident family is an eccentric and crotchety assortment of elderly siblings and cousins, all constantly quibbling and chafing under the iron rule of a formidable great-aunt. One of the residents has disappeared, and soon his body is discovered, bound with a rope and shot to death.
The story is perfectly a perfectly adequate example of the "cozy" English variety of mystery, but I found it less interesting than I hoped. Perhaps my tastes have been spoiled by the ugly realism of the modern mystery, or perhaps I just compared it unfairly to Dorothy Sayer's books, which are (in my view) a notch brighter and more interesting.
Not bad, though. I'm sure many of our readers will enjoy it.

Grammys pay tribute to Shankar, King, Temptations
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ravi Shankar passed away in December before he could attend The Recording Academy's Special Merit Awards celebration where he was to receive a lifetime achievement award. But the 91-year-old sitar master, Indian music promoter and friend to The Beatles got the call a few days before he passed away, and that meant everything to his family.
"I was very excited to hear about the lifetime achievement award a week before my dad passed away, one day before he went into surgery," Shankar's daughter, Norah Jones, said in an email to the Associated Press a few hours before the ceremony. "He knew about it and was very happy, and also that he and my sister, Anoushka, were both nominated in the same category for a Grammy (this year) was a special thing as well. We all miss him and are very proud of him. I will forever be discovering and re-discovering his music from all walks of his long and amazing life."
Jones and Anoushka Shankar's acceptance of their father's award Saturday afternoon at the Wilshire Ebert Theatre in Los Angeles was one of many memorable moments in the ceremony honoring performers and non-performers alike.
The crowd made a happy birthday video for Carole King, saluted husband-and-wife songwriters Marilyn and Alan Bergman on their 55th anniversary, and swooned as Charlie Haden paid tribute to his wife and family.
Shankar, singer-songwriter King and jazz bassist Haden were honored with lifetime achievement awards along with classical pianist Glenn Gould, who made his final public performance in the same theatre, blues guitarist Lightnin' Hopkins, The Temptations and pop singer Patti Page, who like Shankar passed away in the last two months.
Special merit awards also were handed out to non-performers. Chess Records founders Philip and Leonard Chess, husband-and-wife songwriters Marilyn and Alan Bergman, and former Capitol Records executive Alan Livingston won the Trustees Award given to non-performers. And MIDI developers Ikutaro Kakehashi and Dave Smith and ribbon microphone manufacturer Royer Labs won technical Grammys.
Haden noted the importance of his family in his acceptance speech.
"I thank my brother Jim for letting me listen to his jazz records," Haden said. "I heard Charlie Parker and that changed my life forever."
For King, it was James Taylor who sent her down a new path. She noted in her video message he forced her to get up and sing one of her own songs in concert when she really didn't see herself as a performer: "I guess he was right."
The Bergmans, who wrote "The Way We Were," turned in a romantic acceptance speech, adding another special moment to a partnership that produced some of our most well-known songs.
"I just want to say this in public: I'm married to the most remarkable woman in the world," Alan Bergman said.
"Oh, cut it out," Marilyn Berman responded.

Calif. launches drone to aid wildfire battle
GROVELAND, Calif. Firefighters battling the giant wildfire burning in the Sierra Nevada added a California National Guard Predator drone to their arsenal Wednesday to give them almost immediate views of any portion of the flames chewing through rugged forests in and around Yosemite National Park.
The MQ-1 unmanned aircraft being remotely piloted hundreds of miles away quickly alerted fire bosses to a new flare-up they otherwise wouldn't have immediately seen.
"They're piping what they're seeing directly to the incident commander, and he's seeing it in real time over a computer network," said National Guard Lt. Col. Tom Keegan.
Previously, ground commanders relied on helicopters that needed to refuel every two hours.
The 12-day-old Rim Fire continued to grow, expanding to 301 square miles. But crews building lines around the flames made significant progress, and containment jumped to 30 percent. Cooler temperatures and lighter winds are aiding firefighters.
Increasingly confident fire officials said they expect to fully surround the blaze in three weeks, although it will burn for much longer than that.
"We continue to get line around this fire," California fire spokesman Daniel Berlant said Wednesday. "It's not nearly as active as it was last week."
While unmanned aircraft have mapped past fires, use of the Predator will be the longest sustained mission by a drone in California to broadcast information to firefighters in real time.
The plane, the size of a small Cessna, will remain over the burn zone for up to 22 hours at a time, allowing fire commanders to monitor fire activity, determine the fire's direction of movement, the extent of containment and confirm new fires ignited by lightning or flying embers.
The drone is being flown by the 163rd Wing of the California National Guard at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside and is operating from Victorville Airport, both in Southern California. It generally flew over unpopulated areas on its 300-mile flight to the Rim Fire. Outside the fire area, it will be escorted by a manned aircraft.
Officials were careful to point out the images are being used only to aid in the effort to contain the fire.
In 2009 a NASA Predator equipped with an infrared imaging sensor helped the U.S. Forest Service assess damage from a fire in Angeles National Forest. In 2008, a drone capable of detecting hot spots helped firefighters assess movement of a series of wildfires stretching from Southern California's Lake Arrowhead to San Diego.
The Rim Fire started Aug. 17 and quickly exploded in size, becoming one of the 10 largest California wildfires on record. Its progression slowed earlier this week when it moved from parts of the forest with thick underbrush that had not burned in nearly a century to areas that had seen fire in the past two decades.
But it will burn for months, possibly until California's dry season ends this fall.
"My prediction is it will burn until we see rain," said Hugh Safford, a regional ecologist with the U.S. Forest Service.

Hi All,
I own a Nitro Stampede and a rc10t3 and a few other rc's. I am thinking of getting a slash or an E-maxx. I think I am going to go with the slash. I live right next to the woods and I drive The T3 and Pede in their without a problem do you think the slash would be just as good. For the charger I use a Dynamite peak 2. I have deans on it though. What does the speed control come with on the slash (Deans, Standard Plug, Trx plug). Also you can't beat the price. So what do you think Would the slash or emaxx be better.

Uncle Walt's Band
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (May 2014)
Walter Hyatt, Champ Hood, and David Ball formed Uncle Walt's Band. They moved from Spartanburg, South Carolina to Nashville, Tennessee, in 1972, where they caught the attention of Willis Alan Ramsey, a famous and revered Texas singer and songwriter. Luring them to his studio, Ramsey would become the band's first noted fan.
The band returned to the Carolinas in 1974, recording Blame It on the Bossanova, their first record, at Charlotte, North Carolina's Arthur Smith Studios.
In 1978, Uncle Walt's Band played a reunion gig in Austin, Texas, and the success that followed kept the band together in subsequent years. That success wasn't limited to the South, however. Uncle Walt's Band gained a cult following around the world, ranging from the University of California, Berkeley to Moscow University in Russia. UWB released two more albums on the local Lespedeza label, 1980's An American in Texas and 1982's Uncle Walt's Band Recorded Live, which was recorded at the Waterloo Ice House in Austin.
In 2007, during South by Southwest, the Austin Music Awards put together a tribute to Uncle Walt's Band. Lyle Lovett and David Ball were joined by Champ Hood's son singer, songwriter, and fiddle player, Warren Hood, and Champ Hood's nephew, singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Marshall Hood of The Belleville Outfit.
- An American in Texas Revisited (1980)
- Live at the Waterloo Ice House (1982, vinyl to CD transfer included)

Attraction Details :
Rawai beach is an ideal place for the gastronomes and travelers. Here you can enjoy fresh seafood and scenic view of the sea. It is the biggest beach after Pathong beach. From here it is very convenient to travel to other islands around Phuket such as Laem Ka Cape, Laem Phrom Thep Cape which is the most famous sunset viewpoint in Thailand.
As on the beach is a major point of departure for boats heading out to the surrounding islands, it is best for the boat ride,but not for swimming.
How to get there :
By Car
It is 17km far from Phuket city. Take the highway 402 that runs through the centre of the island and go as far south as you can without actually driving into the sea. The other way to go is taking a road which leads to Nai Han beach and stay on 3km. Rawai beach is on your right-hand side.

Sources: Tom Bowen to be new Memphis Tigers athletic director
San Jose State athletic director Tom Bowen has been selected to become the next athletic director at the University of Memphis, according to two sources familiar with the search and an internal U of M memo obtained by The Commercial Appeal.
Bowen is scheduled to arrive in Memphis today for two days of meetings with university officials. He is expected to be formally introduced at a Monday afternoon news conference.
He has headed San Jose State's athletic department since December 2004. His previous jobs include a stint as director of community affairs for the San Francisco 49ers and on the athletic staffs at California and Saint Mary's.
Bowen is a Denver native and a 1983 graduate of Notre Dame.
He was reportedly a finalist earlier this year for the AD job at the University of Central Florida, a Conference USA school that's heading to the Big East in 2013 like Memphis.
Bowen didn't return a message left at his office Saturday. He would not comment Friday to the San Jose Mercury News when asked about a Commercial Appeal report that he had emerged as a serious candidate for the Memphis job.
At San Jose State, Bowen boasts of an athletic department that has run at a surplus for four straight years and that has a football program that has fared well compared with past track records.
Since taking over in late 2004, Bowen has overseen 10 coaching changes. The Spartans are pursuing membership into the Mountain West Conference, the Mercury News has reported.
Bowen is stepping into a promising spot in U of M athletics. He'll be replacing 70-year-old R.C. Johnson, the department's director since 1996.
In February, Johnson successfully landed the Tigers a coveted invitation into the Big East. That move will take effect on July 1, 2013.
Bowen will oversee first-year football coach Justin Fuente and basketball coach Josh Pastner, who will enter his fourth season next year having played in two NCAA tournaments.
Johnson announced his departure Nov. 29, the same day the dismissal of football coach Larry Porter was announced, and said he would stay as long as through the June 30 end of the fiscal year.
Johnson was paid a $316,725 annual salary and will remain on the payroll through the end of his contract -- June 30, 2013.
Bowen made $277,692 last year at San Jose State, according to a USA Today database of athletic director salaries.
U of M president Shirley Raines had planned to have a new AD in place by early May. An 11-member committee led by FedEx chief financial officer Alan Graf led the search.
The committee was to have started its review of applications on April 6. The UofM contracted with Plano, Texas-based headhunter Bob Beaudine to assist in the search, just as it did when it hired Fuente as football coach.
