The Folio Prize is being promoted as a rival to the prestigious Man Booker. To be launched next March, it is the first major book award to have no barriers or borders
After more than 40 years of unchallenged supremacy, is the Man Booker Prize, the so-called "Oscar" of the publishing world, in danger of being overthrown? Toppled or not, the buzz is not good. For the first time since its inception in the 1969, the Booker is being challenged.
There is a new and aggressive pretender in town — already being hailed as the "Booker without the bow ties" in a swipe at the prize's opulent champagne-and-black tie ceremony. Breathless media hype and brave claims have accompanied the launch of the £40,000 Folio Prize which is being promoted as "the prize for the 21st century" to rival the supposedly outdated Booker with its bow-tie and buttoned- up -collar culture.
Using a football metaphor, one leading supporter of the new prize likened it to the "Premiership" while the Booker, he suggested, was in the lowly "FA (Football Association) Cup" league. Unlike the Booker, which is restricted only to novelists from the Commonwealth countries and Ireland, the Folio prize will be open to writers from around the world. It will seek "to celebrate the best fiction of our time, regardless of form or genre, and to bring it to the attention of as many readers as possible."
"It's the first major book prize to have no barriers and no borders — it's truly international," said its founder, Andrew Kidd, the well-known literary agent.
It will be judged by a panel drawn annually from a group of more than 100 leading writers and critics, grandly named the Folio Prize Academy.
Tipping point
The prize, which will have its first outing next March is sponsored by the Folio Society, a London publishing house which specialises in producing special illustrated editions of famous fiction and non-fiction titles and backed by a host of Britain's high-profile writers, including several, former Booker winners. They believe that the Booker has become too jaded in recent years and abandoned its original mission of discovering new and challenging voices.
The tipping point was the 2011 Man Booker Prize when judges were accused of putting "readability" over "artistic achievement" as the criterion for selection after one judge, Chris Mullin, a former Labour MP, said that for him books had to "zip along."
The chair of judges, Stella Rimington, a former MI5 chief, fuelled the row when, in an apparent tilt at some of the previous winners, she said: "We want people to buy and read these books , not buy and admire them." Some questioned Dame Rimington's credentials to judge a literary prize alleging that she had "help…with the writing" of her own novel.
Another judge, Susan Hill, an acclaimed novelist in her own right, dismissed the obsession of Booker's critics with experiment and innovation.
"I don't mind experiment if there's a genius behind it. If you're James Joyce, you can write Ulysses. But I don't want experiment from writers who can't do the real thing," she said.
Although critics, among whom were some of the leading lights of London's literary establishment, claimed that they were concerned about the "dumbing down" of the Booker, what really appeared to have upset them was that the Rimington panel gave short shrift to their favourite writers. Former Poet Laureate Andrew Motion lashed out at the judges for leaving out Alan Hollinghurst, Graham Swift, Philip Hensher, Edward St Aubyn and Ali Smith, among others.
"It's extraordinary they are not on the list," he railed at the panel for picking several "unknown" writers.
Amid a blazing row, Mr. Kidd and his supporters announced the launch of a parallel prize to recognise novels which were "unsurpassed in their quality and ambition," which, he said, the Booker failed to do. It took him another 18 months to find a sponsor. Meanwhile, the Booker judges had the last laugh, awarding the prize to Julian Barnes for his novel The Sense of an Ending, an extraordinary artistic achievement as well as highly readable. In a dig at critics, he dismissed the "readability" row as a "false hare."
"Most great books are readable. Any shortlist of the last ten years that I've read has contained nothing but what you would call readable books," he said.
In recent days, Mr. Kidd has sought to play down his previous attacks on Booker claiming that it is wrong to see the Folio Prize as a rival to any other prize.
"It's not a matter of how many prizes there are but how many prizes effectively get their message across and connect with the public and result in thousands of people buying these books. For me that's the key measure of success," he said.
Those unimpressed
For all the claims being made on its behalf, not everyone is impressed. There is a widespread sense that it is more of the same old wine dressed up as something sparkling new.
As a blogger on The Guardian's "Books Blog" wrote, the Folio Prize "has all the characteristics of an event conceived in the post-millennial book world."
"It is well-funded…. It has already been well-promoted to the media, and has made a point of securing as much advance support as possible from London's literary community. In short, it reflects a literary culture where prizes, as much as reviews, make the running, and where big prizes become themselves a cultural event of unprecedented consequence.''
Many wonder whether there is really need for another prize when the field is already so crowded. Besides the Man Booker, there is the Costa Book Award, the Women's Prize for Fiction previously sponsored by Orange mobile phone company, the Samuel Johnson Prize and a host of prizes for specific genres such as drama, mystery, "worst" sex, worst criticism, etc. Some believe that prizes have become a big marketing stunt guaranteeing year-round publicity for publishers and sponsors.
"It's big business for writers, too. Win the Booker Prize and you become a millionaire. Win the top Costa slot …and, like Kate Atkinson or Mark Haddon literary course is set fair," wrote one commentator.
But, what the hell. Just because we don't live in Utopia it doesn't mean there can't be prizes for everyone.

|Image Description
|Rear Admiral Hutch I. Cone was born in 1871. He was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy from Florida in 1890, graduating in 1894. He served as Assistant Engineer on the USS Baltimore (C-3) in the Battle of Manila Bay on 1 May 1898. When the U.S. Fleet was sent around the world by President Theodore Roosevelt on December 16, 1907, Lieutenant Commander Cone commanded a flotilla of Torpedo Boats, which went around South America from the East Coast to California. In 1909 he was made Chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering and was promoted to the temporary rank of Rear Admiral. He was in charge of engineering modernization of the Navy at the time, particularly conversion to turbines. In 1915 he was the Superintendent of the Panama Canal. During 1917-1918 he was in command of Naval Aviation in Europe under Admiral Sims. In October 1918 he was crossing the Irish Sea on a mail steamer which was torpedoed by a German u-boat. He was picked up unconscious after several hours in the water and ultimately recovered. After World War I, Admiral Cone attended the Naval War College. He was then assigned as Chief of Staff, Asiatic Fleet and Commander Flagship. He was retired as Rear Admiral in 1922 by reason of his war injuries. After retirement he served on the U.S. Shipping Board (now the Maritime Commission), under Presidents Coolidge, Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt. President Roosevelt appointed him as chairman. He was also Vice President of the Guggenheim Fund for the promotion of aeronautics. At the time of his death in February 1941, he was Chairman-of-the-Board of Moore-McCormick Steamship Company. Mrs. H.I. Cone, his widow, sponsored USS Cone (DD-866) at its launching at Bethlehem Steel Company, Staten Island, NY on 10 May 1945.

MONDAY, March 9 (HealthDay News) -- Separating science from politics with his signature, President Barack Obama lifted the eight-year ban on embryonic stem cell research on Monday.
During a late morning press conference, Obama issued the executive order removing federal funding limits on such research that were first imposed by his predecessor, President George W. Bush, in 2001.
According to the Associated Press, Obama said Monday that he is allowing federal taxpayer dollars to fund significantly broader research on embryonic stem cells because "medical miracles do not happen simply by accident," and promised his administration would make up for the ground lost under his predecessor.
The Obama order does not address a separate legislative ban, which precludes any federal money paying for the development of stem cell lines, according to the AP. The legislation, however, does not prevent funds for research on those lines created without federal funding.
While The New York Times reported that it may take many months for the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop new guidelines for stem cell research, scientists were already applauding the president's actions.
"The availability of federal funding for research on cell lines that had been off limits during the Bush administration, coupled with billions of newly available dollars in federal stimulus money, could set the stage for a tidal wave of support that could propel stem cell research well into the next decade -- if things move quickly," said a statement from Stanford University researchers in California.
"This action is both welcome and overdue," Dr. Philip Pizzo, dean of the Stanford School of Medicine and a governing board member of the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, said in the statement. "This vote of confidence from President Obama in the promise of embryonic stem cell research validates and extends CIRM's mission to help millions of people suffering from currently incurable medical conditions. It is also a powerful signal that advances in medical research must be pursued even in times of economic difficulty."
Dr. Joseph Heyman, board chairman of the American Medical Association, said: "The AMA supports biomedical research on stem cells and has encouraged strong public support of federal funding for this research. Today's action by President Obama will help scientists realize the potential of stem cell research to benefit the many Americans living with diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's."
Peter T. Wilderotter, president and CEO of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in Short Hills, N.J., said in a statement, "With a stroke of his pen, President Obama acknowledged the will of the majority of Americans and harnessed the power of the federal government to move research forward. By removing politics from science, President Obama has freed researchers to explore these remarkable stem cells, learn from them and possibly develop effective therapies using them."
The general enthusiasm followed a wave of similar sentiments last month when initial reports of the new policy came out of a closed-door meeting between Obama and House of Representatives' Democrats.

text: the ark Michigan artist Liz Larin's new album is about a "hero's journey" By Stateside Staff • Jul 22, 2014 Peter Schorn / Flickr Listen Listening... / 11:30 Oakland County-based singer-songwriter and producer Liz Larin is coming to the Ark in Ann Arbor on August 3. She joins us today on Stateside to talk about her new CD "Hurricane." Larin started with a band in the 1980s and evolved from there as an artist. She plays almost all of the instruments and sings all of the vocals on her record. She even creates the visual images seen when she plays on stage. She said since the 80s, she has become more confident in her musical instincts. "I hone the songs until the idea is as clear as possible and as visual as possible," Larin said. "I want the listener to be able to listen to it and picture something – to the right of them, to the left of them – and what is actually going on while they are moving through the music." She says "Hurricane" has a narrative arc - a hero's journey. "It starts with the idea that everything that you thought about yourself and about the world, it just doesn't fit anymore," Larin said. "And you realize you have to go and find yourself and you have to find out what reality is for you." Larin said the title track "Hurricane" is the feeling of change. The track "Super Hero" is the story of a parent and a parent's love for a child.

Freelance illustrator based in Berlin.
For 35 years, John Cronin has safeguarded New York's waterways, investigating dozens of pollution cases and authoring three laws to protect the Hudson River and its communities. So when Cronin, director and CEO of the Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries, began planning the institute's first research facility, the Center for Environmental Innovation and Education, he knew its physical form should embody its ecological ideals. Instead of just building green, he went one better: Working with international architecture and design firm Gensler, he transformed an abandoned 19th-century brick factory into a state-of-the-art structure packed with sustainable technologies.
Arik Levy's designs have been produced by a variety of big names—e15 (SH05 ARIE shelf, pictured below), Zanotta, Council, Living Divani, and Bernhardt Design, to name a few—but the Paris-based, Israeli-born designer is still taken with the thrill of the potential that comes from new partnerships: "The first project together is like a first kiss. You never know how it tastes until you separate the lips."
George Smart, executive director of Triangle Modernist Archive, is a modern-day Lorax for modern-designed houses. In early 2007, a quick Internet search for "Raleigh modernist architecture" took Smart to a web page describing the story of the mid-century Eduardo Catalano house, famous for its expansive butterfly roof, in Raleigh, North Carolina—and its subsequent destruction in 2001 by McMansion developers.
It may be hard to believe, but Buffalo, New York, was once a pinnacle of high-tech innovation, even dubbed the City of Light for being one of the first electrified towns in America. But today, with the century-old houses in the city's low-income East and West Side neighborhoods standing in disrepair, a new organization called Buffalo Basics is hoping to reenergize the city with a low-tech approach—hands-on training.
When Michael Gainer moved from Boston to the Rust Belt city of Buffalo, New York, he had no idea he'd end up in "deconstruction"—not the collected works of Jacques Derrida but the controlled demolition of architectural structures.

I'm so excited to share this traditional Japanese dessert recipe today. If you are a regular reader of Just One Cookbook, you probably know that I rarely make dessert.
I know a lot of readers come here to look for Japanese dessert recipes but are probably disappointed at what little dessert recipes I have. I am aware of that and I hope to increase my desert collections on Just One Cookbook. In fact, I have one more dessert recipe coming up next week as well. So I'm working on it…slowly…
Today I'm guest posting at my fellow foodie friend Mai's blog, A Cup of Mai. Mai cooks delicious food and takes gorgeous pictures, and she has a good fashion and artistic talent which I am completely lack of. I love how Mai updated her master bedroom and how she cooks delicious spare ribs and bakes chocolate macarons with ganache filling! You will see what I mean when you visit her blog – so click Here to check out my guest post and spend some time on her blog with a cup of coffee or tea!
Today's dessert Dorayaki is best described as a dessert sandwich with red bean filling between two slices of pancake. If you are familiar with Japanese cartoon from the 70's, you probably know this dessert from the anime character Doraemon who is crazy about Dorayaki.
I grew up eating this dessert in Japan and packaged Dorayaki is usually sold in Asian or Japanese grocery stores in the US. However, it is really easy to make at home and much more delicious if you make it from scratch. Hope you give this simple recipe a try.

- 4 large eggs
- 140 g (2/3 cup) sugar
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 160 g (1⅓ cup*) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 1 tsp.oil
- 1 can Ogura-An or 18 oz/520 g homemade sweetened red bean paste
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and honey and whisk well until the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Sift flour and baking powder into the bowl and mix all together. Keep in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes.
- Stir in 2 Tbsp. of water. Depends on the size of eggs, how accurate your flour measurement, the water amount may vary. For me it's always 2 Tbsp of water.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat (close to low). Dip a paper towel in oil and coat the bottom of the pan with the oil. Then remove the oil completely (that's the key for evenly golden brown dorayaki surface). With a ladle or a small measuring cup (I use a 4 Tbsp measuring cup), pour 3 Tbsp of the batter from 3" (7 cm) above the pan to create 3" (8 cm) diameter pancakes. When you see the surface of the batter starting to bubble, flip over and cook the other side (with my stovetop and frying pan, it takes 2 minutes, then 1.5 minutes on the other side). Transfer to a plate and cover up with a damp towel to prevent from drying. You do not need to oil the pan again. Continue making pancakes.
- Make sandwich with red bean paste. Put more red bean paste in the center so the shape of dorayaki will be curved (middle part should be thicker). Wrap dorayaki with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
If you don't eat it on the same or next day (keep it in a cool place), wrap the dorayaki in plastic wrap and put in a Ziploc bag to store in the freezer for up to a month.

Kings center Anze Kopitar injured his right knee Saturday while playing for Mora IK of Swedens Allsvenskan hockey league but preliminary indications were that its not serious and is not likely to keep him out for more than two to three weeks. Its nothing to be alarmed with, Kopitars agent, Pat Brisson, said by phone. Brisson said more would be known after Kopitar undergoes tests in the next day or two. Brisson said he had spoken to Kopitar, whom he described as in good spirits and not fearful that the injury would prove to be long term. Its very minor, Brisson said. Whether that means a week, two weeks or 10 days, I dont know. Kings General Manager Dean Lombardi also said via email that it was correct to estimate a recovery time of two to three weeks for Kopitar. There soon might be NHL games for Kopitar to sit out -- or to play. Delegations representing the league and the players association sat together for talks Saturday after spending the previous two days meeting separate...

Annie P Wright
Annie P. Wright and her husband Oscar are now in Mount Juliet Cemetery, Wilson CO. They are listed in the Annotated Records of the cemetery. May have been moved there from Joel Sullivan. I know her parents were moved there from the Pugh Cemetery because of the Dam. Also she has a sister buried there. I don't know if there is a headstone or not. I will request one for her and Oscar and see what happens. She was my grandmother's niece.

RE: Johns' grave photo
You're welcome. It was exactly on the county line, a bit away from the main road. We stopped and asked a neighbor mowing his yard, he knew exactly where it was. It's not been maintained albeit not in all that bad of shape. It's soon to get worse as many tree saplings have taken root. It's a shame as its a large family cemetery. I tried to photograph all the graves to document for future generations. I even added a couple that were not on Find a Grave.
I was struck my the magnitude of loss borne by the Corbitt family, three children lost at birth in three consecutive years and then another older child a few years later. What a tragedy and burden to bare. As I visit cemeteries and find so many children's lives lost so early, I realize how God has blessed me with two wonderful sons.
I'm glad to have captured your ancestry grave markers for you to document.
God bless,

I see that you have added photos to all the memorials that are in the cemetery. When I ask for the first ones, I was not aware that all the others are in my mother's Castleman family by birth or marriage, had found soon after my request that they are. Now if I could just get them linked, but difficult with an inactive memorial manager. Thank you so much

Seaworthy Sailboat Help!
To start, I'll tell you my plans with the boat.
A friend and I, both 20 yrs old, and are experienced surfers and sailers. We've both always wanted to go on an adventure to wherever we might end up, meeting new people and surfing new breaks along the way. So the plan is to be crossing oceans as big as the pacific. Basically going around the world in a criss-cross, zig-zag pattern, stopping basically wherever we want.
We have a budget of no more than $25,000 for a boat, and want something small. 30' at the least, 40' at the most. Something the two of us can easily handle alone(while one of us is getting rest). We would preferably want a center-cockpit so that we can each have our own birth(aft-birth and v-birth). Obviously a functional galley will be needed, and at least one head w/ a shower. We'll be travelling with a couple boards each, and I realize a small boat is limited in terms of space, but somewhere to store our surfboards would be nice.
Most importantly, for our budget, we want the most seaworthy sailboat we can find. Advice from anyone and everyone is welcome! and Thank you!

by James Slater - Talk about an intriguing and exciting fight. Though the fight is far from a done deal at this point in time, there is at least a decent chance unbeaten wannabe stars Timothy Bradley and Edwin Valero could meet in the summer, in what would be a classic Boxer Vs. Puncher match-up.
Both men are unbeaten, both are more than willing to fight the best available opposition, with both men seeking super-fights, and both guys are fast, exciting performers who can punch. What's not to like about the idea of the two hungry warriors getting it on with each other?
KO king Valero, 27-0(27) has made it clear his next fight will almost certainly be up at 140-pounds. The reigning WBC lightweight champion's main goal is a mega-fight with megastar Manny Pacquiao, but that fight looks to be a good few months away - if it happens at all. A fight with Bradley, unbeaten at 25-0(11) would be some risky 140-pound debut for the Venezuelan, but a win would surely put Valero closer to his goal of getting Pac-Man in the ring with him.
Bradley, too, would love a fight with Pacquiao (which fighter from anywhere between 135 and 154-pounds wouldn't?) - in fact, the man known as "Desert Storm," would be more than happy for ANY marquee name to show a willingness to face him. Bradley, as good, as strong and as dangerous as he is, has had trouble getting a fight lately, that's for sure. Valero may not be a marquee name yet, but he is fast becoming one, and Bradley would very probably relish the idea of meeting the lethal southpaw in the ring next.
As soon as the nasty cut Valero suffered in his recent win over Antonio DeMarco heals, "El Inca" will resume training, and let's hope it will be WBO light-welterweight champion Bradley he will enter camp to get ready for. A genuinely 50-50 fight on paper; who wins - the out and out banger, or the boxer-puncher who is primarily a boxer?
Both men are capable of starting a fight fast, very fast, and both men have also been down and hurt in past fights. This one, if it happens, could conceivably be a short affair; perhaps with both men being hurt, wobbled or maybe even put on the canvas before the ending comes. Bradley has shown he has good recuperative powers in his possession, while Valero has the look of a warrior who will really have to be nailed to the canvas in order for him to be stopped! One of the most mouth-watering-looking fights that can be made at 140-pounds right now, this match-up could well result in a brutal and vicious fight.
On the other hand, though, Bradley's excellent boxing skills - skills that are far superior to those of the still-raw Valero - could see to it that the man from Palm Springs schools Valero, in the process nullifying his best asset: his withering punching power. But Valero's fists sure will take some nullifying. Is Bradley the man to do it?
Really, there are at least a dozen fascinating questions that can be asked about this prospective fight; not least: who will win, will we see a sensational KO, and if so, from which fighter? Reportedly, promoter Gary Shaw is working on making this fight for June. Let's hope he can do it.
If the fight happens, the winner will be a big step closer to being the star he wants to be.

Had to reload FB2k last week.
I downloaded the 8.3 Special Installer, and installed.
Many titles began to experience "scalefactor bands exceeded" and would not play, then noticed these errors are only on aac files.
I still have the 8.2 special installer, so I installed this version and everything is back to normal.
What am I missing from 8.3 which would support aac codec?
Tempted to re rip these titles into MP3 to avoid future compatibility issues.

RAW AAC means the files have no header, so the decoder can't know what samplerate, channels, encoding mode, etc...are used.
Don't use it. Ever.
I'm interested in getting one of the files that doesn't play though, since I don't remember any changes 0.8.2 -> 0.8.3 that could break this. But it's still a particularly bad idea.

It is part of the "9 Series", Samsung's flagship brand for its leading products and will soon be joined by an 11-inch model that threatens to be even more lust worthy.So what does the 900X3A bring to the table? The first thing you will notice is its size, or rather the lack of it. At 16.3mm, tapering to 15.9in, the 900X3A is arguably thinner than the equivalent size Air which measures 17mm at its thickest point, though it does then taper to a cake-cuttingly sharp 3mm. Likewise the 900X3A has the slightest of advantages when it comes to weight, tipping the scales at 1.31Kg verses the Air's 1.32Kg.Such slender advantages may be the basis for evangelical marketing campaigns (World's Lightest/Thinnest, etc), but in reality both it and the Air are equally portable which has us looking for other differences. Besides looks closer and you'll discover size is their only similarity. Deviating from the Air's machined silver aluminium finish, Samsung has opted for black "Duralumin" -- a super tough aluminium alloy. Samsung claims this lightweight material is twice as strong as regular aluminium and while we aren't tempted to put this to the test with a sledgehammer there is no doubt it gives the 900X3A a highly practical outer shell. Less practical is the finish. Duralumin may be strong, but it can't resist fingerprints. Both the lid and area around the trackpad are fingerprint magnets and if you're design conscious (and let's face it, if you're looking at this type of machine, you are) then you'll spend a lot of time removing them with a cloth or sleeve.The screen lid is brushed Duralumin, as is the aforementioned area around the touchpad, but between these two is a glossy black plastic bezel, the same material of which is used around the keyboard. The keyboard keys are matt black and the bottom of the laptop is matt black plastic. Similarly the Samsung logo is embossed on the lid and smooth under the screen. This is not to say the 900X3A doesn't look good, it does and it certainly garners its fair share of glances when used in public places, but it could have looked better -- especially when targeting such a stylish rival.That said from this point onwards Samsung is in the driving seat. In short the 900X3A is a technological tour de force. What is remarkable is not that Samsung has managed to match the thickness and weight of the MacBook Air, but that it has done so while packing in cutting edge components and lots of connectivity.The beating heart of the 900X3A is an Intel Core i5-2537M dual core processor. This is part of Intel's highly anticipated Sandy Bridge platform and is two generations newer than what you'll find inside an Air. Consequently while it runs at 1.4GHz it has the ability to "turbo clock" itself to 2.3GHz when needed. It can also utilise Hyper-threading to create four virtual CPU cores meaning it makes mince meat out of a) multi-tasking, and b) the 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo inside the MacBook Air. Combined with this blockbuster CPU is Intel's latest graphics chip, the "HD-3000". This isn't designed for gaming, though it will happily run less demanding 3D games at lower resolutions. Where it comes into its own is in desktop. It runs Full HD (1080p) video without breaking sweat and video editing and ripping can be done as quickly as a top of the range desktop graphics card.Impressed? We're only just getting started. Samsung equips the 900X3A with 4GB of RAM as standard (compared to the Air's 2GB) and an Air-matching 128GB solid state drive. SSDs are famously expensive, but they offer blistering performance. Windows 7 boots in under 20 seconds and the likes of Microsoft Office load almost instantaneously. You may be using the most ultraportable of laptops, but you will feel like you're on a fully fledged desktop.This laptop will also likely be kinder on your eyes than your desktop monitor. The 900X3A screen has a brightness of 400nits, the highest ever fitted to laptop, and it auto adjusts to provide optimum visibility in any lighting condition. If you're in an area where light is constantly changing, this can be annoying and is easily disabled. As for viewing angles they are exceptional with colours vivid from virtually 180 degrees and black levels are exceptional, particularly when watching high definition video where you'll see a lot of detail in the shadows. One gripe is the native screen resolution. At 1366 x 768 it offers less screen real estate than the Air's 1400 x 900 (noticeably less vertically), but for many it is a comfortable trade-off for a more readable resolution on the move.Just as useful is the backlit keyboard. It was a shock when Apple left keyboard backlighting out of the Airs (even as an option) and it is extremely welcome in the 900X3A. Just like the screen detects light levels, so the keyboard lighting can come on automatically in dark/dim conditions or be switched off and on manually from no less than seven brightness settings. Clever stuff and thankfully the keyboard itself is excellent to go with it. Samsung has opted for the isolation key design first implemented by Sony (but most widely associated with Apple) and the tactility and feedback from the keys is excellent. Arrow keys are slightly shrunken and a lot of keys double up with additional functions, but you'll be typing at full speed with little practice.Good as the screen and keyboard are, the crowd stealer is the touchpad. In fairness Samsung has unashamedly ripped off the touchpad from Apple's MacBooks, but that is no bad thing. As a result the touchpad does away with buttons in favour of turning itself into one giant clickable button. The left side corresponds to the left mouse button and the right...you guessed it. Multi-touch and multi-press recognition is also available and all gesture commands are customisable. It can be easy to stray and mix up left and right buttons at first, but the fact Samsung has managed to equal the quality of Apple's implementation is high praise indeed. It is easily the best touchpad we have used on a Windows laptop.Samsung wins further brownie points with its speakers. The 900X3A may output just 1.5W, but there is surprising clarity, enough volume for casual listening and even a little bass. Meanwhile Skype fans will enjoy the 720p webcam built into the bezel. You won't be shooting cinematic masterpieces, but it is vastly superior to the standard def Facetime webcam fitted into the Air.The trend of one-upmanship continues when it comes to connectivity. The Air is (in)famous for featuring just two USB 2.0 ports, a mic/headphone jack, mini DisplayPort and selling an optional Ethernet adaptor (£25). By contrast the 900X3A uses drop down panels on either side to stow away a mic/headphone jack, microSD reader, USB 3.0 port, mini Ethernet (adaptor supplied), mini HDMI and an always on USB 2.0 port that can charge peripherals even when the laptop is switched off. With Bluetooth 3.0 and Wireless N also onboard there is no comparison.Battery life? Despite the greater horsepower and brighter screen you'll be pitching in the same ballpark as the MacBook Air. With moderate usage MobileMark 2007 reveals up to 7 hours 30 minutes with brightness set just under half and Wi-Fi off (Samsung quotes a maximum of 8 hours). You'll also get in excess of 4 hours with heavy usage and it managed over 3 hours when looping a 1080p version of Avatar. These are top notch figures, particularly given the chassis size and internals, but they are also necessary since the battery isn't removable. Happily the power supply brick is small and built directly into the plug (itself with swappable pins for international travel) making it easy to carry around should you ever run low on juice.Finally Samsung deserves praise for installing a relatively clean version of Windows 7 Home Premium. Its own software is unobtrusive and can usefully keep track of the latest drivers and firmware updates.All of which leaves the 900X3A sounding like the perfect laptop, but there remains a significant caveat: price. Set your mind on this laptop and you'll need to swallow a £1,299 RRP. If it is any consolation Samsung actually makes a loss on every unit sold as it is determined to push into the premium space, but it is still more expensive than the £1,122 MacBook Air. Or is it? A 13.3in Air specified with 4GB of RAM and an Ethernet adaptor costs £1,232 and you'll miss out on the backlit keyboard, greater connectivity and have far less horsepower under the hood. Of course you'll have Apple's branding on the outside and Mac OS X which are fundamentals for some.Then again if you aren't ready to cross over to the cult of Jobs just yet then Samsung has given Windows users its most desirable laptop to date.ConclusionWhat is most impressive about Samsung's stunningly thin and light laptop is not its size, but its size considering what has been squeezed inside. The 900X3A is an impressive piece of design, yet it is also powerful and well connected. Apple fans have long lauded the fact that their Macs can run Microsoft Windows. For the first time since the MacBook Air launched these diehards will be sad a Windows machine can't easily run Mac OS X.As you would expect pricing isn't easy on the wallet, but it could have been worse and spec-for-spec the 900X3A turns out to be good value for money. In fact the biggest problem is -- good value or not -- whether you have the budget in the first place.Your move Apple.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
This was one of our best Holidays ever, really relaxing, staff where very pleasant and helpful. The lodges where very clean. We stayed in the Lodge which excepted dogs and you would of never of known dogs had stayed before. You are provided with plenty of towels, extra to use for the Hot Tub and dressing gowns, with slippers. Will defiantly be returning, but not while school holidays are on, much to expensive.
I was a little disappointed with the cleanliness of the villa since check in time was not until 4pm and check out 10am.
It was so relaxing. we are looking to book again. The birds
of prey walk was excellent and is a must to do, The only down fall was the internet part of the entertainment package was rubbish the wifi connection was very hit and miss.
As always fabulous in every respect!
Excellent all round only abit too close to a public footpath so there was not any privacy screening when in hot tub. You felt on show for all to see. Maybe u could put up willow screening or plant a hedge. Need to try to keep small vermin down with pet friendly trappings. But lovely relaxing holiday with very helpful staff. X
The lodge was beyond what we expected. The online photos didn't do it justice. We would definitely go back. One slight issue was the TV didn't work very well and I had to go to reception on a couple of occasions to have it sorted. My son has special needs and the TV occupies him so it is an essential for us. Other than that it was brilliant
Well equipped and clean lodge, heating rather enthusiastic though. Take out curry not value for money or as described. (received boiled rice not pilau, servings were very small of curry). Lovely quiet setting. Don't forget a torch!
we found the difference in price because it was half term very expensive.We do not mind paying alittle extra but £400 more is disgusting and when you cannot take your children out of school it seems unfair
Amazing, cabin was clean and had everything you could need. Hot tub lush, log burner romantic, loads of walks and lots to explore in the area. Archery was shocked by the £20 each price but after.. well worth the money great fun. Loved the place so much we booked for next year when we were checking out :-)
Celebrated my 60th birthday with family. Had the best time. Everything was great. Cabin spotless. Hot tub amazing.
I loved been at sherwood forest lodges,staff couldnt of been more helpful.
Site has everything you need.
My puppy was very fussed and welcomed which is why we chose the lodge.
Wouldnt hesitate to book again.
Did not want to leave
Lovely peaceful surroundings with a lovely hot tub, only down side really was regulating the heating we couldn't get it quite right but I suspect that was down to us rather then the cabin.
Fabulous location , brilliant holiday, 3rd year back at sherwood. Have enjoyed every year, so much to do near by and the Dog and Duck pub is well worth the short walk. Brilliant x
We had an amazing time. We were sitting in the hot tub with a glass of bubbly at night and a heard of dear passed straight by us, it can't be any perfect than that.
The lodges were fantastic, the place was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful and we will definitely be going back and would recommend to anybody
Really enjoyed our stay. Will be back.l :-)

Product description
One of the greatest epics in Western literature, "The Iliad" recounts the story of the Trojan wars. This timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves to its tragic conclusion. In his introduction, Bernard Knox observes that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it co-exists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.

Author information
Homer (8th century BC), Greek epic poet to whom are attributed both the Iliad and the Odyssey. Robert Fagles was awarded the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Art and Letters. Bernard Knox is a renowned classicist.
Review quote
"Fitzgerald has solved virtually every problem that has plagued translators of Homer. The narrative runs, the dialogue speaks, the military action is clear, and the repetitive epithets become useful text rather than exotic relics." -"Atlantic Monthly " "Fitzgerald's swift rhythms, bright images, and superb English make Homer live as never before...This is for every reader in our time and possibly for all time."-"Library Journal " "[Fitzgerald's "Odyssey" and "Iliad"] open up once more the unique greatness of Homer's art at the level above the formula; yet at the same time they do not neglect the brilliant texture of Homeric verse at the level of the line and the phrase." -"The Yale Review""What an age can read in Homer, what its translators can manage to say in his presence, is one gauge of its morale, one index to its system of exultations and reticences. The supple, the iridescent, the ironic, these modes are among our strengths, and among Mr. Fitzgerald's." -"National Review" With an Introduction by Gregory Nagy

VIRGINIA BEACH It's all about the heart on Valentine's Day.
At a boot camp in Va. Beach, it's all about loving your heart.
The American Heart Association says one in three people in this country have some form of heart disease, including angina, heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure, coronary disease, and other serious conditions.
The owner of Virginia Beach Adventure Boot Camp says there are some easy-to-follow preventive measures that will help keep heart problems at bay, including exercising regularly, quitting smoking and keeping track of your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Adam Pismeny, a certified fitness boot camp instructor, notes that there are simple, heart-healthy exercises that don't require expensive equipment or memberships.
The trend in heart fitness is interval training.
'It combines higher intensity bouts of work followed by lower intensity work. The reason I use it with my clients is because not only does it help improve cardiovascular health, but it increases the metabolism for 24 hours or more after the exercise is performed. This is especially important for people who are trying to lose weight,' he says.
Any brisk activity for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week, will be beneficial in strengthening the heart and lungs and improving the body's ability to use oxygen. Just make sure you move an energetic pace, he states.
February also is the American Heart Association's American Heart Month.

Mike Krzyzewski is working to secure a commitment from Myles Turner, a 6-foot-10 power forward who is considered a top-10 prospect in the 2014 class. "I also like how Coach K talks to me," Turner wrote in his blog. "He handles me like I'm a pro. He says things like: "Myles you're a pro and you need to carry yourself that way. You don't need to worry about all of this media, outside stuff you need to start training your mind now. Hopefully you'll only be in college for a year and head off to the NBA because I can see you there.' "Coming from him that's big for me. It gives me even more confidence in myself." Turner recently cut his list of schools to eight: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma State.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Halloween trick-or-treating is always a mixed bag (or pillowcase). Sometimes you luck out and get a whole candy bar; other times you get the house giving out pennies and raisins.
It works kind of the same way in the tech world. Some years the kindly folks in the big Silicon Valley mansions give consumers treats so incredible that they talk about them for seasons on end. Sometime they open their big, old-growth doors and dole out stuff so cheap or pointless that it makes you want to come back with eggs, toilet paper and flaming bags of something awfully unpleasant.
Leading up to this Halloween, tech consumers and investors have received a little of each extreme from tech companies. With those mixed results starting to show up in those companies' earnings, maybe it's about time to sort through the bag and figure out with products were the sweetest in 2012 and which were potentially toxic to consumers and companies alike:

Legal wrangling between this tablet's manufacturer, Samsung, and Apple (AAPL - Get Report) held up this device's release, but the wait was well worth it for Android fans and Apple detractors.
Amazon's (AMZN - Get Report) Kindle Fire HD
It hasn't been a great quarter for Amazon. The company took its first loss in nine years, it's not optimistic about next quarter and it has analysts grumbling. It did manage to score one big win in the past three months, though. Despite Apple's assertion that 7-inch tablets aren't a good idea -- a claim not at all rooted in Apple's decision to make one 0.9 inches bigger -- Amazon's Kindle Fire HD not only got the first Consumer Reports recommendation for a 7-inch tablet but scored its first thumbs-up for a tablet costing $200 or less. Considering that figure gets you an iPod Touch in Apple world, that's a victory Amazon and consumers should feel good crowing about.

Since the crypto-currency Bitcoin hit the limelight, many libertarians and privacy advocates have heralded it as anonymous, digital cash. But the world's biggest Bitcoin exchange–and the U.S. regulators breathing down its neck–see things differently.
On Thursday Mt. Gox announced that it would begin requiring "verification" for all accounts seeking to deposit or withdraw currencies other than Bitcoin, a measure that means users would need to submit government identification and a utility bill or information about the company they work for to trade Bitcoins for traditional money, in effect ending anonymous use of the service.
"The Bitcoin market continues to evolve, as do regulations and conditions of compliance for Mt. Gox to continue bringing secure services to our customers," reads a statement on Mt. Gox's site. "It['s] our responsibility to provide a trusted and legal exchange, and that includes making sure that we are operating within strict anti-money laundering rules and preventing other malicious activity."
The new restrictions from Mt. Gox–which controls well over half of all Bitcoin trades–comes on the heels of an online currency crackdown. An indictment unsealed earlier in the week against Liberty Reserve, another digital currency service, alleged that it engaged in $6 billion worth of money laundering through its anonymity-friendly payment system.
Mt. Gox itself has faced new legal problems, too. Earlier this month Mt. Gox's American intermediary for trading dollars and Bitcoins known as Mutum Sigullum had its accounts seized by Homeland Security Investigations for failing to register as a money transmitter. That move cut off one of the main paths to buying Bitcoins with dollars through the American payment service Dwolla, rather than by using cumbersome bank transfers.
Bitcoin has attracted many users with its privacy properties: Although every Bitcoin transaction can be traced and verified in the payment records that the distributed currency system uses to prevent fraudulent transactions and forgery, Bitcoins can theoretically be used without a bank account or any online registration, potentially allowing total anonymity. That's led to Bitcoin becoming the currency of choice for sites like Silk Road and Black Market Reloaded, online underground markets that sell drugs and other contraband.
Until now, Mt. Gox has tried to strike a careful balance between anonymity and money laundering laws, allowing anyone making trades under $1,000 to do so without a verified account and only demanding identification for larger trades. But when I spoke with the company's Tokyo-based chief executive Mark Karpeles earlier this year, he emphasized that his first priority is to legitimize Bitcoin as a mature currency, not to preserve its anonymity. "If you try to enforce Bitcoin as an anonymous currency, it's only going to bring more issues," he said at the time. "I believe Bitcoin can be anonymous. But it's too early to go this way. Government entities aren't ready, and we're working with banks that want everything to be done correctly."
Even so, Bitcoin users have anonymity options: One service known as LocalBitcoins helps users find someone near them that will swap their Bitcoins for cash, or vice versa. Even if users continue to stick with Mt. Gox, they can always use a so-called "laundry service" like Bitlaundry, Bitmix or Bitcoinlaundry to mix their Bitcoins with those of other users and prevent their transactions from being traced. A project launched by John Hopkins University known as Zerocoin is also seeking to add new code to Bitcoin that would allow users to swap out a Bitcoin for an anonymous "Zerocoin token" and vice versa at any time, essentially integrating that laundry service into Bitcoin itself. That means a drug seller on a site like Silk Road could, for instance, collect Bitcoins from the site in exchange for drugs and then launder them before cashing them out from Mt. Gox under his or her real name.
The Bitcoin market doesn't seem particularly troubled by Mt. Gox's move, at least. After the exchange's announcement, the currency's value crept up $2.90 from earlier in the day, to $131.90. It seems Bitcoin users would rather sacrifice a bit of their anonymity than risk the biggest hub for their currency being shut down by the long arm of U.S. law enforcement.
