...it had Google Play. I've been a web developer for 18 years. I know what the 'specs' mean when I click that tab on the walmart.com site. When I read I could get my 6 year old daughter who is in accelerated reading and math a 16gb, dual camera, 10" display, android 4.0 os tablet for $169, the hair on my ears stood up. Most models with those specs are over $200...oh and I could get it in pink...nice ;-) I opened the box, turned it on, connected it to my house private wi-fi and never looked back. The dual cameras are a really nice option with Skype video calls. If you're like most folks I know...you don't know what the specs mean. That's okay, you will not regret the purchase. Buy this tablet. And make sure you purchase the 2-year, $19 accident insurance...in case you, or my 6 year old drops it. Also, we bought a Kensington Folio Expert Case and Stand for Windows and Android (K39591WW) (at the time of this writing walmart.com did not sell this item, it's very new.). This case is multi-purpose...and its purposes is to hold and protect the tablet. And it does that, without getting in the way of the rear camera or right-side plug in for charging. Do not let the lack of Google Play deter you from this tablet. I have found Amazon's App Store to be very nice. I also recommend buying a 32gb microSD memory card. Well done Visual Land, well done!
So, Here I am a few weeks into my ownership of my tablet. I have read the negatives and am not sure if these peple just prehaps got bad machines or are not really sure of this machine. It is fast and fluid. Some said they do not like it because you have to touch it in the right place to get it to do anything? Yeah you do.Bbut I find this to be true with all tablets. To open an app you need to touch said app. Some are complaining that it does not have google play. It can be installed. plus has great app stores already installed. It connects beautifully to my xfinity and Has not dropped connectivity once. Maybe a new router for those having trouble. Anyway I LOVE this tablet. I have had an ipad and love the fact that I can expand the memory on my visual land.
The Prestige 10 has been a great tablet. I took a chance on Visual Land with their Prestige 7, and picked up the Prestige 10 as soon as I could. It makes some improvements over the Prestige 7 that are quite welcome. The addition of Bluetooth is quite nice, and means that a bluetooth headset can be used natively for any type of video conferenceing you have planned. Or perhaps for connecting a gamepad, or speakers. The 1024×600 resolution screen is really great for watching movies, since that aspect ratio supports widescreen VERY well! For a while I looked into projects that put Android on my TV, whether in the form of a dongle, or a gaming console. With the Prestige 10′s hardware, it certainly trumps the dongles, and makes for a more versitile package than the console: Consider attaching a keyboard, and a mouse to the Prestige 10, and running the HDMI out to your television: There is your Dongle's functionality. Throw in a Bluetooth controller, and that is a gaming console, and you still have a tablet to use when you need to take your setup on the road. Having the ability to use 2 USB devices, output HD video, and throw in Bluetooth connectivity makes this a powerful package. The prestige 10 measures in at a respectable 11.1″ x 6.5″ x 0.5″ (28.2 x 16.5 x 1.3 cm) and weighs 19.2 oz (28.3 g). Software:
The Prestige 10 is running Andriod 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and has Visual Land's custom launcher, complete with 7 specialized homescreens. If that just is not your cup of tea, then it is possible to change it (it would not be android if you couldn't). Battery Life:
The Prestige 10 is one of the few tablets that I have experienced that lives up to its advertised battery life. The details stated "Up to 8 hours continuous (up to 5 days standby)" I was able to get 5.5 days standby, and by the 8 hour mark, I still had some battery left to go. I suspect that I could even get longer if I had turned on airplane mode, and turned down the screen brightness. I imagine that 8 hours will not be the maximum on the battery, but near the average of a days usage (but that will depend on how you use yours).
One of the most frequent critiques that I hear about android is its battery life in comparison to apple's iOfferings. Although this will not dethrone the iPad in its battery usage, the Prestige 10 is where android devices SHOULD be. Final Thoughts:
This Prestige 10 is a leap forward in many respects for Visual Land. The ten inch tablet, being offered at a very reasonable price combined with Visual Land's very cordial attitude towards the development community mean that this tablet is a great purchase with a slew of great features, at a hard-to-beat price. I have been most pleased with the Prestige 10 and at the price point at which it is being offered, I see little reason to purchase a different 10 inch tablet. In the end, I give it 5 stars not just for being well put together, but also for being so darn inexpensive.
As close to an iPad as you can get for the $. Love this device!!!
This is one of the best tablet i ever own.I would recommend it to anyone shopping around for a nice and inexpensive tablet.
I bought this for my mother for Christmas, but worried as her BF has an IPad3. I didn't have the $500 for the Ipad so tried my luck with this tablet, and I'm so happy I did so! This isn't built with the solid heavy glass screen or sturdy feeling metal/plastic base, but I wouldn't say it's cheap either. It's plastic with a thin sheet of glass, if not plastic for the screen, but has a good weight and solid feel to it. The 2 cameras are good quality and have HD ability for video as well. It's about the same cams 1.2MP and 2MP. The full 1080p resolution beats out the ipads 720. The ability to chose a color and not have the bland black or white option shows a little of your personality. The android screen is a little longer with has less width, whereas the ipad is closer to a box... these may be good and bad as longer is better for games played at length (ie angry birds) where ipad may be better for seeing whole web pages. The multi-point touch is great on either but the accessories (like earphones, adapters for both AC and USB, OTG cable) are nice addons, where ipad gives you the pad and USB only which charges much slower than the traditional AC adapter that plugs into the wall socket. The ipad does have a dual core processor, where the android a single 1.2ghz but I notice little difference. They both have about the same Wi-Fi, bluetooth, battery life, and the same amount of memory (1gb ram). The biggest difference is the amount of space available for programs! The android has 16GB which is about the same as lower end ipad, but you also get 5GB online cloud storage and have an optional extra 32GB expansion slot (which may run $20 or less). The expansion slot is very nice, as the Ipad doesn't have that option and you pay almost $200 when trying to get the same amount of memory. I just can't see spending the $600 vs $150, for just about the same thing. I do give the ipad has quite a few more apps available at the moment, as adroid is behind but I'm sure in time they will come close enough. There are also options like flash currently available for android only but is not longer being supported ( meaning you can use it on most webpages, giving you far more pics etc available, but in following years it may no longer exist). I hope that help even one person decide on what is best for them, along with the many options available in many shapes and sizes.
This tablet is surprisingly quite slim, maybe half an inch at most, feels good in the hand. The color of the actual tablet is very vibrant and really pops. It does what I expected, with the 1GB RAM apps open pretty quick and apps run smooth. Overall, not much to complain about
The tablet is very fast and the price was great. Mine only cost me $134.00 with an extra 2 year warranty. The dual webcams are great and the quality was more that what I expected it to be.
WIFI Internet is fast and stays connected.
Not all apps work on it. GetJar app works but when you use it to download an app I always get a connection error message. The only market app that I have gotten to work is Amazon. Kindle app doesn't work either. It will not allow me to read a book after I download it. It goes to a blank black screen. The built in speaker are busted. They make a constant crackle/pop/buzz sound.
The audio jack does makes the same sound when using headphones. I tried 2 different types of headphones and both did it. I will send the tablet back to Walmart and exchange it for another one. Touch screen works perfect. I only need to touch the screen lightly for it to work. Video play back is very good with great graphics.
It does come with flash pre-installed. But I used the apps like YouTube or Netflix to watch videos. Battery life is really good. I can easily get 5-6 hours out of it but not watching lots a video. Just standard app uses like email, browser, facebook, and google chat. Does not take long to reformat the tablet if need to. Only took me less than 5 minutes. It comes with 2 cables. A small USB adapter that allows you to connect External Hard drives or flash drives to it. The other cable allows you to connect the Tablet to the computer for transferring files. When connected to PC my tablet did not charge by the USB port but I am not for sure if it was supposed to do that but it does come with a wall charger adapter but the cord is short and should have been longer. This is my first tablet and learning to use it did take me some time but overall its fairly easy to use. I love the live wallpapers that comes preloaded on to it. The color of the tablet is not the same color displayed on the website. I bought the red one but I got was a dull ugly red color not the bright sleek one that is displayed on the site. Overall I love this tablet even though the speakers & audio jack are messed up but I can easily exchange it for another one not a big deal. The speed was very impressive to me on this Tablet because of the price. I own a gaming PC with a 6 core processor that I paid $1,500.00 just for the tower by itself. Speed and Multi-tasking is everything to me. I've used IPad's before and liked them but I would never pay that much money for a Tablet when I can buy a laptop. So when I say that this tablet is good it's good and I am thinking about buying another one for a family member. But I do recommend paying the $19.00 extra and getting the 2 year warranty because you never know when you may need it.
I have high standards and I'm very tech savvy and I must say: This tablet has absolutely blew my mind! I have put it to the test against my friends ipad and it is defenitely faster if not just as fast when it comes to web browsing and loading. It doesn't have the google play store which almost discouraged me from buying it but I was really impressed with the selection of apps that are available in the other market stores, basically everything that google play would normally have. The speakers are not bad at all and the picture is great but when put next to an ipad you will see the difference, however it's not a $300 difference! It does make a strange flickering sound if you using it and charging it at the same time but that's just probably a small defect, my dad is an electrical device engineer and said it's nothing serious. This tablet has absolutely blew my mind. I was expecting a lot more negative things but I would say that for the price it is absolutely stunning, and I would def recommend it for anyone that is trying to save money. For all the people that are giving it bad reviews.... I don't know what your thinking, maybe you all had expectations as if it was an Ipad or a Galaxy... which it's not, but it's as close as you'll get for the price! YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Hope this helps all the people that read reviews to make a decision, I know I do.
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. Of course, I opened it and played with it for like two days to be sure it worked properly. It works GREAT!! this is an awesome tablet and well worth the price. I dont know if maybe the other reviewers just got a bad apple out of the bunch but all smiles this way. The speed is great. All pages load very quickly in my home and at my job. I have really good internet service so, if your tablet is loading farely slowly that would probably be based on your internet service( you may want to upgrade your service). The picture quality is great. The sound is good. The camera quality is pretty good better than I expected but light does produce better pictures. The apps are good. I was able to load all the games that she loves to play with no problems at all and the games run farely smoothly with hardly to none problems. I heard other reviewers mention about a loud cracking sound. Now, I did heard just a faint sound when I was playing with it while plugged into the wall. I experimented with it to see if it would stop. I found that the tablet only made that just faintly noise while playing when charging at the same time. Once I turned the tablet off and just let it charge-no noise. Once I unplugged it and just played it while NOT charging-no noise. Which you are really suppose to let your tablets and phones etc. charge after completely dying and not playing while charging. My recommendation. But ANYWAY, if anyone is looking for a great tablet without spending crazy money I recommend this one. It is an awesome tablet. I even found a video that shows you step by step how to get Google Play if thats a biggie for you. I personally dont need it right now because the preloaded apps so far have everything that I have been looking for. Well, i wanted to do this review for those who are uncertain about this product because I myself was a little skeptical when I oredered it as well. I will be buying an 7 inch in pink for my 3year old. Yes, I know 3- but she is very smart not your average 3year old. Well, I think I covered the biggies but This Tablet is Great so go ahead and purchase one. It is worth it. Also, I found a pink case with a stand on Amazon that I paid $8.99 for and the tablet fits Perfectly in it for those who are wondering about cases that works with this. Good Luck :)
Once in a while a product description comes along that turns out better than its description and this is one such product..This product does more than I expected it to for the price..I highly recommend this product for a person who uses their computer primarily for messaging and to browse for products because this tablet does both and in a very rapid fashion without first logging on or bothering with typing in an address..Once you click the proper app just click on it and in an instant you are there and the browser is also much quicker..I love mine and it does more than I thought it would and it is so convenient to carry with me...I very highly recommend it for anyone on the go or a person like myself who is along in their mature years..
Of course you know you shall not get a brand new iPad for this price - and you may not need it either, this tablet works great; I have now "played" withit for about 2 weeks and have had no issues except one - but I found a workaround for it . It is not fast but speed is ok to internet-browse and stream movies, etc. Gaming which requires speed might be not such a good thing to do with this device - then it is questionable if the "real thing" is so much better. It is not a aluminum casing but the plastic feels quite durable and the design is ok. It comes well equipped too, has all adpaters needed. Issue: it does not have the Google Play Store installed, so no access to many apps the Google Store has to offer and Google does not offically approve this device either. But there is a workaround - one can goolge it ;-). Googly Play Store app can be installed via a PC - after that it is a real good device.
We bought 2 of them. Nice design, bold colors, lightweight. Unfortunately, although those features are good, I need an actual smooth working tablet. First, Getjar did not allow downloading on a lot of its apps. It would keep stating that there was an error for a bunch of the apps and games. Second, use of the internet was almost impossible because of the continual freeze-ups. The tablet would constantly freeze-up whenever trying to run apps, go to the internet, even when shutting down. This would happen on BOTH tablets.
Third, on one of the tablets, every time it was plugged into the computer, it would shut-off. Instant shut-off. The freeze-ups, errors, shut-offs were really too much and turned into a very frustrating couple of days. We returned both tablets to Walmart.
Got this thing a few days ago. If you know your way around a droid phone this is a piece of cake. Works as advertised. For the money its goooood. Battery life is :| Could be better. Just adjust your screen light it be fine. App stores work. Don't sweat Goggle Play. These app stores have the same stuff. App opening at first is slow. Then runs quick. Typing is something I need to switch to swype. Good bang for the buck for cheapos like me. Its no IPAD. But pretty close.
Since I received the unit it has functioned well. Was able to load virus program and printer
program. Screen is very sharp. Connected immediately with my router, no problem.
Loaded other items from Barnes & Noble with no problem. Only problem if it is really one,
is with the battery life. Even with wirless off it only is good up to 3 hours or a little less.
Charging takes 3-4 hours using the ac adapter. I ordered new charger and am currently
trying it, as the old one was arcing every time I plugged it in. Other than that, the unit is very good
for the money. Why pay $500-$700 for an Ipad when this unit does almost the same functions
for much less investment. Product support I find is very good and helpful.
Great unit with 10" screen and all the applications with two cameras there were only a few drawbacks I have seen is the battery life and it does not have a 12V charger for the car.
I bought this Tablet online two weeks ago and received it last Saturday (on site pick up). There are some pro and cons with this product, lets start with the pros. PROS
(1) Great product for the money, has good down loading speed for a tablet and comes with lots of pre installed apps.
(2) Screen res is very good and it was easy to set up wi-fi.
(3) Battery life is good about 7.06 hr.when fully charged.
(4) Sound is good but when in crowded or noise places best to use ear phones which come with the tablet.
(5) Can use most any 10" Sleeve or case to protect your tablet. CONS
(1) Takes to long to load preloaded games
(2) Camera is in the corner and not center on tablet and can only be seen or viewed in well lit places.
(3) When plugged or unplugged it makes a scratchy sounds like volume is being adjusted even when the volume is turned down.
(4) Screen slid is a little bit choppy at times
I read the other reviews about this product and was hesitant about purchasing it but thought it was a great deal.(I shouldn't have returned the Toshiba I originally purchased for this tablet.) I receive my product; which was going tobe a christmas gift to my daughter, I opened it to make sure things were okay...well I charged it up, turned it on and what happens...EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE ELSE SAID! The screen started flashing, went white and wouldn't turn on. There were fingerprints all over the screen. I believe these products are completely refurbished and not worth it!
I would recommend downloading dolphin browser for faster internet use. and although it does not come with android market or Google play you can manually put it on the tablet yourself (Google it and you will see a link to download the appropriate drivers and instructions). i did experience the crackling sound in the speaker; i immediately shut it down and powered it up minutes later and didn't have that problem anymore. and note this is a wifi product so you will need to use a" hotspot" connection if traveling. overall great product for low price.
i love it, only some times it's slow for facebook, but i can play all games i whant, read free books, check 3 or 4 pages at same time, the quality of the camera it's good, the battery it's for all day long, have good sound,.

Roth to ship vacuum tube amplifier dock
updated 12:40 pm EST, Mon March 5, 2007
Vacuum tube amplifier dock
Roth has unveiled the Music Cocoon MC4, an amplifier dock that relies on vacuum tubes to produce what some say is a richer, warmer sound. Roth recommends that iPod owners load lossless files to ensure maximum fidelity, and the dock charges iPods as they play. The rear of the device also features inputs for laptops, CD systems, and other MP3 players. The dock is simply an amplifier, shipping with no speakers and requiring users to supply their own. The device is rated at 13W with a frequency response of 20Hz-30KHz and an output impedance of 8ohm. The dock is due to launch in April for $780, according to Electronista.

Do you still use Film? Yes (APUG is the ANALOG Photography Users Group)
Do you Develope your own? Yes - B&W which is my primary film medium
What are the advantages/disadvantages of Digital and Film?
Digital may provide faster results; shorter workflow to the web or other e-media - and cheaper per shot after surviving the initial gear purchase
Film, especially B&W, is more easily archived, offers higher affordable resolution, and to me, a more interesting workflow
Can you, do you use both? Yes
Do you use Film then scan the negs before printing?
Not generally, as my serious prints are optical on gelatin silver paper
Do you think that film offers more chance of producing art by mistake / happy accident?
Hmmm - that could be a real bag of worms, but my gut sense is yes, although I try to be precise and consistent which would reduce that likelihood.
Have you any other thoughts as to why film feels different/worse/better/more precise / clumsier?
Many of the differences I feel are due more to the equipment I use than the medium. My digi-stuff is relatively recent, with full and exotic automatic capabilities, most of my film shooting is done with older, fully manual cameras - or at most auto-exposure. Work with the latter tends to lead to a slower, more thoughtful approach to my photography
Hope that helps.

Honestly i always thought the same thing. Why couldn't they have given him one measley line to make him seem more 'with-it.'
"Jim, if M-5 is out of control you have to disable it quick or we'll be forced to destroy the enterprise!"
Two reasons why this line would have been pointless.
Enterprise couldn't respond and I think Wesley was feed so much information about how frikkin' wonderful M-5 was that this never even entered his thought process. Kirk said the government bought it and they were going to make it work. And being a Commodore, Wesley's personal job of ordering ships around probably wasn't in jeopardy, just the captains under him, which he didn't show too much sympathy for, did he?
Really, how often do you expect your new car to turn on you and attack? It's supposed to be a new computer, they're up to their asses in computers, why would one turn into a crazy kill box? And Daystrom himself is on the ship with the M-5, if there were any problems, surely he would take care of it? Right?
I don't think anyone planned for M-5 to suck the energy out of the warp engines like a slurpy, so any previous manual overides were useless. How does one manually control a starship, do you mean there are actual sticks and cables to fly it?
Sorry if I'm posting short, I'm not trying to be nasty, I just think it would have been the farthest thing from his mind, he was basically in the position of having an out of control starship to deal with at that point, it had to be stopped whoever was in control.

Looking for macro shot samples from the 85mm PC-E
Feb 23, 2011
If you have any links or photo's, can you post them here ? I'm curious if the tilt really is effective in macro. I'm particurlarly interested in nature or wildflower type shots, but really anything if you have it.
Also, if you use rings, could comment on what size ring gets you to 1:1 ? I've seen that people use them, but Im' not sure how you calculate the required ring size to get from 1:2 to 1:1, is it dependant on something like how far away the subject is or is it just dependant on the focal length.
Thanks for any info.

astonished by the low price!
fast and easy
The book was new as stated, but it did NOT come with the DVD/CD that was supposed to be included. This should have been specified on the ordering page.
Not as pictured but it is as described.
A good product in good condition but it is not the exact same as an English edition, as it is missing the English homework problems and tables.

I know that Eminem is in recovery now, or whatever, but he's clearly still abusing Perpetually Angry Voice Pills.
Wait, isn't Lil Wayne in jail? I would think "no love" would be preferable to any other kind he might be getting.
I always think of Ricky dancing with Delia on My So-Called Life whenever I hear that song they sampled.
Nothing says menacing more aptly than a Haddaway sample
The beginning of this song is fucking with us right?
Bc I hear that & I only think about this
Can't watch it :(
I couldn't go through the whole video. I miss Eminem's first CD. This is just stupid.
"Bullying is wrong, y'all. Ok, so this next track is about me raping my ex-wife Kim with a chainsaw."
I hate it when I try to listen to songs about killing my wife and mother, only to be interrupted by Daft Punk loving bullies.
I think it's kind of scary that the kid getting bullied here is a WAY cooler dresser then I was at that age. Or still am at this old age. I hated being a kid. :( OH WELL now I can afford to buy my own video games and skittles!
That was tense.

Bradley University had been searching for a new mascot for the last two years.
And now they've found something one-of-a-kind.
Bradley athletic director Michael Cross unveiled to the Peoria Journal Star on Friday that the school has chosen a gargoyle.
Cross emphasized that the University would still be called the Bradley 'Braves.'
[MORE: NCAA Coverage]
"A very clear message was sent through the survey that said, 'We want a mascot,' " Cross said. "That's the easy part. While the gargoyle was the clear choice, a lot still needs to be worked on."
After ditching the Native American image in the 80s and 90s, Bradley introduced a Bobcat in 1994 but it was short-lived.
The gargoyle will be only the third mascot in school history.
Bradley will become the only Division 1 school with a gargoyle mascot.

"A curious establishment might be founded with rooms of oxygen, where people whose system is weakened could for a few hours live a more active life. Fancy parties where the room was saturated with this heroic fluid, theaters where it should be kept at high pressure; what passion in the souls of the actors and spectators! what fire, what enthusiasm!" he wrote.

Clipper 2011-12 Round the World Yacht Race fleet are currently on day twelve of race seven, from the Gold Coast to Singapore.
Geraldton Western Australia - Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race.
Geraldton Western Australia's crew are maintaining their lead over the rest of the fleet as they sail towards their goal, Marina at Keppel Bay in Singapore. The last 24 hours have seen the disappearance of lighter, more fluky winds and the return of a steady breeze. All of the teams should benefit from the steadier north easterly trade winds within the next 48 hours.
Juan Coetzer, the skipper of Geraldton Western Australia writes that the crew are gaining confidence in their sailing skills which enables them to try more complicated sail evolutions.
'Yesterday the wind died down to a mere two knots. It resulted in us dropping the mainsail, just so we could keep the lightweight kite full. Then the wind shifted, so we had to put in a gybe. Putting up the second pole would have resulted in us piercing a hole through our kite, so we went for an unorthodox outside gybe, keeping the original pole. Once done, we put up the windward pole and reconnected the lines. Great result, when it works. The breeze picked up during the night, so the crew did the first kite peel to the medium weight,' he comments.
Geraldton Western Australia was the first of the ten teams to cross back into the Northern Hemisphere.
'Around midnight a pod of dolphins escorted us across the Equator, and we thanked Neptune. Today during happy hour the crew dressed up to celebrate the momentous occasion.'
After wallowing around for most of the day, trying to make the most of every zephyr of wind in their bid to reach the Equator, Gold Coast Australia finally found some light breeze about an hour after sunset.
'At 1315 UTC we crossed the Equator from south to north. For all on board this is a fantastic milestone,' says skipper, Richard Hewson. 'For the round the worlders it meant crossing the Equator from south to north for the first time, and for the crew who joined us in the Gold Coast it is the first time they have ever crossed the Equator by sea.
'King Neptune made a delayed appearance and demanded explanations as to why the Pollywogs should be allowed into his realm and held court for each member to give explanation for their sins and be punished accordingly. Tribute was paid to King Neptune in the traditional fashion as the court turned into a celebration.'
The gifts to Neptune must have been received with pleasure as, says the Tasmanian yachtsman, 'This morning the trades increased and we finally had some good wind for a few hours before the storm clouds began to develop again, sucking the air from around us. Later in the day the wind increased to a pleasant breeze and we sailed with our lightweight spinnaker up trying to catch our Aussie competition who have been making some fantastic progress on us over the last few days. Thankfully at the moment the wind, though light, seems to have steadied and we are finally able to make ground to the west.'
The third yacht to cross the Equator was Singapore who, while north of third placed Qingdao, are further to the east and therefore further from the finish line, so currently lying in seventh place.
The team is anxious to have a good result on the race to their home port where the striking new Reflections at Keppel Bay, designed by renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, dominates the award-winning marina.
'After another frustrating night of very light winds the wind swung round rapidly to the north east early this morning,' reports skipper, Ben Bowley. 'This has allowed us to start to make a little progress to the north west today; indeed, with the wind slowly veering throughout the course of the day we now find ourselves running north west under lightweight kite making between seven and ten knots, ideal!
'I think that we still have a fair bit more north to make before we see the trade winds proper but it does feel wonderful to be moving in the right general direction for a change. We also anticipate being the third boat to cross the Equator at around the time of our 1700 meeting today. With five uninitiated Periwinkles and ten confirmed Shellbacks aboard, preparations are underway for the welcoming of Neptune and his courtiers. There are some nervous looking members of team Singapore and some knowing smiles being exchanged by those who have crossed previously! The significance of returning to the northern hemisphere is not lost on those of us who have been with the boat since Southampton. I for one will feel that we have started the journey homeward once I see the GPS clock over to 000 00.1'N.'
Qingdao arrives at race 10 finish in San Francisco - 213-14 Clipper Round the World Yacht Race
Qingdao's skipper, Ian Conchie, tells the Race Office, 'I anticipate an Equator crossing sometime this evening when Neptune will hopefully visit us again and the crew who haven't crossed the Equator (we have five) will be inducted by Neptune to become Shellbacks.
'It's been a frustrating 24 hours, but one the rest of the fleet has already had to deal with,' he continues. 'Last night the wind dropped and we drifted very slowly all night. The breeze filled in slightly this morning but it has been slow going until this afternoon when it built and went around to the east, allowing us to hoist our heavyweight kite and start reaching north west towards the Equator.'
New York, like Qingdao, is on the western side of the course and has been making good ground on the rest of the fleet.
'We have been very lucky with the wind until first light this morning when the wind dropped out to around three to five knots,' he explains. 'At this point we would normally put up the windseeker or lightweight kite but with squalls still on the radar we just have to sit there and wait until the wind builds or until a squall hits us so as not to rip any sails. This means we have only sailed half the distance we needed to catch up with the leaders to the north and hope that they still won't be in the north easterly trade winds until we get there. If we can keep heading towards the north west at good speed we may be able to close down the miles on them.'
Derry-Londonderry has also had a pretty good 24 hours on the whole, despite spending some time bobbing around becalmed – which wasn't wasted time, as Mark Light explains.
'In the fairly consistent wind we managed to claw our way north and west into some more consistent weather… or so we thought! Today we were back to being becalmed in the stifling heat and during the morning we tried everything to get our boat moving - Yankee 1, staysail, lightweight spinnaker and windseeker and every combination you could think of.
'When the wind finally died off completely I gathered our crew together on deck for a refresher rope work and knots class. Just as the class finished, the wind filled and we were moving again only to stop within the hour. We are now sailing along quite nicely, due west under full main, Yankee 1 and staysail achieving about nine knots. There is plenty of rain and the on watch team are enjoying (enduring?) fresh water showers. I can hear their shrieks of utter delight as I type down below.'
Visit Finland's crew are making the most of the fresh water showers as well. With temperatures in the high 30s, the respite from the heat and sun is most welcome.
'The weather has certainly dealt us a mixed hand during the last 24 hours, with long spells of calm, punctuated by the ever present rain squalls,' notes the Chichester-based skipper of the Finnish team, Olly Osborne. 'Everyone enjoys the rain showers that pass during the day as they often have wind with them, and more importantly it's a chance for a good fresh water shower and a cool off! So with the trade winds now tantalisingly close, and the Equator well within a day's run to the north of us we are hoping that our time in the convergence zone is drawing to a close.
'We enjoyed a fantastic reach northward yesterday morning which saw us flying along at ten knots for several hours, covering nearly 90 miles. Today we have not been so lucky, but our progress north westward is continuing slowly but surely and it is good to have the close competition with Derry-Londonderry, albeit in fits and starts!'
Edinburgh Inspiring Capital has moved up to eighth place, by virtue of their more westerly position than that of De Lage Landen and Welcome to Yorkshire. This part of the race is all about getting into position to make the most of the trade winds when they arrive – the question for Edinburgh Inspiring Capital is whether they need to get more north into their course.
Skipper Gordon Reid doesn't think so, saying, 'Our course if not our speed is bang on the mark and with a bit of luck we should continue to close on the fleet. We have made it out of the Solomon Sea after doing an average of one knot for almost 12 hours, a combination of riding squalls and drifting. We eventually found the wind and are moving again.
'Today has brought us some spectacular squalls with the customary massive wind shifts and heavy rain, since the last one the wind has veered 90 degrees and dropped to less than five knots so up goes the lightweight spinnaker; maybe not for long as we can see more black clouds off in the distance. The conditions are challenging and the sail plan is constantly changing, but the crew are all over it and loving the intense activity, a welcome change from drifting in the baking hot sun.
While life on an ocean racing yacht takes on a rhythm of its own, people in the world outside the confines of the 68-foot boat go about their everyday lives – whatever that might entail – and Gordon and the crew have had a glimpse of what it's like in the South Pacific.
'Earlier today we passed west of the Tanga Islands within one mile of Tefa, Nokin and Lif the three south westerly islands. We saw people on the beaches and admired the lush green vegetation and golden sandy beaches. We saw a small, long power boat transporting good and people between the islands as we cruised past at over nine knots,' he describes.
'Another day of bobbing around in the South Pacific. What is one of the mightiest oceans of them all has once again surprised us with its serenity,' Stuart Jackson reports from on board De Lage Landen.
'The last 24 hours have been very slow. After a good start to the day leaving New Ireland behind we had hoped for the best, only to find ourselves in the same agonising position as before. In the meantime preparations for Neptune's arrival are well under way. Crew who haven't crossed the Equator aboard a sailing vessel will soon be greeted by the god of the oceans himself.'
And it's the milestone of the Equator crossing that is the focus of attention on the English boat as well.
Welcome to Yorkshire at the start of the race from the Gold Coast to Singapore - Clipper 11-12 Round the World Yacht Race
'It's not far away now: Welcome to Yorkshire's second Equator crossing will soon be here. For the round the worlders, veterans of the first, also known as Shellbacks, they know what to expect. For our Equator virgins, also known as Pollywogs, all will be revealed... that's if we ever get there of course.
'Out here in the South Pacific the winds remain very light and fickle indeed. Sweltering under unrelenting heat, the Welcome to Yorkshire crew are having to concentrate and work hard to keep our 'Pink Lady' moving. Every tack, evolution, trim change and helm movement demands scrupulous concentration and attention to detail. Keeping this up day in day out is a significant challenge and currently feels very tedious indeed. Roll on the trades!
'All of us are beginning to realise that this race is going to take a lot longer than anticipated so, wherever possible, the team are doing maintenance jobs on board to reduce the time required for this essential work to be done in port. That they continue to do so in good spirits and in good humour is a great credit to them all.'
The fleet is expected to arrive in Batam, Indonesia, between 24 and 27 January, where they will muster before a ceremonial arrival at Marina at Keppel Bay in Singapore on 28 January.
You can find out how to get on board for the Clipper 13-14 Race at the London International Boat Show from 6 to 15 January. Visit us on stand G102 in the North Hall to meet former crew members and to discover more about the exciting new Clipper 70 fleet which will enter service in the next edition of the race. You can also try your hand at the Harken Coffee Grinder challenge to see just how much effort it takes to hoist the mainsail, and there are presentations each day at 12.15pm in the Knowledge Box, next to the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race stand.

Griffiths, Higdon, Shinnie & McGinn on SPFA shortlist
Leigh Griffiths, Michael Higdon, Niall McGinn and Andrew Shinnie are vying for PFA Scotland's player of the year.
Shinnie has starred for Inverness, while Griffiths, Higdon and McGinn have been prolific scorers for Hibs, Motherwell and Aberdeen, respectively.
Griffiths is also up for young player of the year, with Celtic's Victor Wanyama and Dundee United duo Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven.
The last player to win both awards in one season was Aiden McGeady in 2008.
Footballers from across Scotland's four senior leagues have cast their votes and it will be the first time in 23 years that the main award will go to a player from a club other than Celtic or Rangers.
Non-Old Firm players to win the award
- 1978-79: Paul Hegarty (Dundee Utd)
- 1980-81: Mark McGhee (Aberdeen)
- 1981-82: Sandy Clark (Airdrieonians)
- 1983-84: Willie Miller (Aberdeen)
- 1984-85: Jim Duffy (Morton)
- 1985-86: Richard Gough (Dundee Utd)
- 1988-89: Theo Snelders (Aberdeen)
- 1989-90: Jim Bett (Aberdeen)
Aberdeen's Jim Bett was the last non-Old Firm player to collect the accolade in 1989-90.
But Wanyama was shocked that none of his team-mates were among the shortlist for the main award.
"I am very surprised because, looking at my team-mates, they had a very good season and the team had a very good season," said the Kenya midfielder.
"The likes of Fraser Forster and Gary Hooper, a lot of players have had a very good season and I'm just gutted they are not here with me."
McGinn, who was previously at Celtic Park, thought that Wanyama himself would be a good candidate for the main award.
"You've got to look at their run in the Champions League and I thought big Victor might have got in there, or the likes of Kris Commons with his goals and consistency," said the player who has scored 19 goals for the Dons this season.
"But obviously it is not down to me, it is down to your fellow professionals.
"Personally, it's been an unbelievable season for me. I've been playing in a new position and had a new lease of life, probably the best year of my career."
Higdon, 29, leads the Scottish Premier League scoring charts and has 25 goals in all competitions, while Griffiths, 22, has matched that number in his second season on loan at Easter Road from Wolves.
Shinnie, 23, has 15 goals from midfield and his sparkling form has won him a summer move to Birmingham City under freedom of contract.
The player saw the nomination as the "icing on the cake" in a season during which Caley Thistle presently lie an unprecedented third in the top flight.
"Everybody seems to think we exceeded expectations, but from pre-season I realised we had quite a young squad with a few experienced players and I thought we could do well this season if we stayed injury free and we've had hardly any," he said.
"There's a few games to go in the season and, if we could clinch a European spot, it would be fantastic for the club."
Celtic's Charlie Mulgrew collected the main prize last year.
The winners will be announced and presented with their awards at a dinner and ceremony in Glasgow on 5 May.

"I haven't the faintest idea who any of these nobodies are. But then, I rarely watch pub-standard football." Well go for coffee on the sewing thread.
Why do idiots have to be here. As an Aberdeen fan I was surprisec at the lack of Celtic talent, but it is the players vote.

Has to be Niall McGinn for the way he carried Aberdeen for the season without previously being known as a main striker. Bunnets off to Craig Brown for spotting the talent.

Victor for me by miles ...& Van P for England .....

To be fair Higdon deserves it the most , leauges top scorer , first spl player to get a hat-rick this season and is the only one to have more than one hat-rick to his name. Also credit has to go to him as the abuse he was getting for playing not to well but he came in and proved he is a top class spl player.

Griffiths for the Scottish one and Suarez for the English one. Sorted.

Kris Commons has been the best player by a mile this season in scotland
Comment number 127. Posted by Andyon 25 Apr 2013 17:35
Griffiths will be banging them in next season against the likes of Port Vale and Leyton Orient. I bet he can't wait to get back to Molineux.
Comment number 126. Posted by waddle4on 25 Apr 2013 16:20
the reason no celtic players because it was so easy for them to win the league as a aberdeen fan i was shocked to see nial mcginn in it but if you can score 19 goals in a team like ours why not get noticed someone will come in and buy him good luck to them all
Comment number 125. Posted by The Cloaking Device Has Malfunctionedon 25 Apr 2013 15:53
No Celtic players

Griffiths unfortunately will be judged for his off the field activities rather than on field scoring exploits. If he grew up, he might make a decent footballer

National Register of Historic Places Program
The National Register of Historic Places is the official list of the Nation's historic places worthy of preservation. Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America's historic and archeological resources.

|Areas of Significance
|Link to full file
|The Chiarelli House is eligible for listing in the National register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion C and is significant in the area of architecture as a locally significant example of Northwest Modernism that embodies the distinctive characteristics of its period of construction. It is also significant under Criterion C as an outstanding work of noted architect James J. Chiarelli, a locally significant architect of the twentieth century who both designed and physically built the dwelling, who is particularly significant for his contributions to Northwest Modernism during the mid-twentieth century. The period of significance for the Chiarelli House, 1949-1955, spans from the dwelling's date of completion in 1949 to the date the fence was added in the rear yard when the neighboring house was sold out of family hands. This transition marks a slight alteration of the original vision for the site's design.
Properties are listed in the National Register of Historic Places under four criteria: A, B, C, and D. For information on what these criterion are and how they are applied, please see our Bulletin on How to Apply the National Register Criteria

Such a great book
My son and I both love this book. The first of this 3 part series is by far the best, but still enjoyed the other two.
A magical and cool adventure about a dragon and a boy and an old alley cat. There are three fun stories and I bet kids would like it.

I hope more fps games take a page out of activision's book and implement wiimote controls for wii u fps games.

An impressive Syrah, not just for its ripeness, but for the structure. Fine, firm tannins and acids, along with well-integrated oak, provide a classic framework to the ripe blackberries, leather and chocolate. Good now, with decanting, but really wants 2–4 years of aging.— S.H. (2/1/2010)
Lots of smoky leather and crushed black pepper in this wine, a clear sign the Syrah comes from a cool climate. Crisp acidity, too, giving the wine a bright mouthfeel. Might even have a drop of Viognier. There's a citrusy lift to the blackberries and black currants. Should develop smoothly through 2013.— S.H. (2/1/2010)
This is a wine that wants a little time in the cellar. It has very rich, ripe, concentrated blackberry and cherry flavors, accented with bacon, smoky oak and black pepper. But it's tannic and the fruit is jammy. The parts simply haven't knit together. Give it 2–3 years.— S.H. (2/1/2010)
A very nice Syrah that shows plenty of upscale character. While it's not as complex as the winery's vineyard-designated Syrahs, it shows a rich tannin structure and ripe blackberry, anise, chocolate and pepper flavors. Will drink well for the next couple years.— S.H. (2/1/2010)
This Mendocino region has some very old Syrah vines, and they have produced a dark, soft, lush Syrah, with an earthy component to the blackberry and mocha flavors. It's pretty tannic, but that softness makes it instantly drinkable, and it's not likely to improve with age.— S.H. (5/1/2006)
From up in the Chalone highlands comes this very dry, acidic and rather earthy Chard. It has peach and apricot flavors, with a touch of green tea and tannins. Seems like it has the structure to age, although that has got to be considered a gamble.— S.H. (5/1/2006)
This is a powerfully fruity wine, packed with very ripe blackberry, black cherry, coffee and sweet leather flavors, in a fairly tannic package. It finishes a bit sweet, but shows good control throughout.— S.H. (5/1/2006)
Fun, with fresh, grapy flavors of cherries and raspberries. With its crisp acidity and dry finish, it's a balanced, young, easy-going blush.— S.H. (7/1/2007)
Concentrated, ripe and saturated with fruit and spice characters, this…

Yes, it's not as simple as it seems to walk your dog. There are ways to doing it right and doing it wrong. Knowing how to do it right will help your dog in more ways than you can imagine. Below are two very important tips on walking your dog:
Always be on the alert
Yes, you must always be sensitive to things, people or events that could possibly trigger incidents from your dog. You should be aware of your environment as you walk the dog. Your ability to sense danger or possible triggers in advance will help you to move your dog away from them naturally or calmly.
For instance, if you sense a car coming to an intersection before your dog does then it would be easier to avoid the animal being hit.
Avoid possible confrontation with others
You are possibly not the only dog walker around, and you should avoid confrontation with your dog. You should change the course right way if your dog is likely to confront other dog walkers or pedestrians.
You should do this as calmly as possible so that your dog will take it in good faith and not feel threatened or excited by your action.

1. Heat the vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until just warm. Keep an eye out so that it doesn't boil; you want the warmth of the vinegar to seduce the coy, subtle flavor out of the blossoms, not immolate them.2. Meanwhile, plunge the flowers in a bowl of cold water and gentle swish them around to flush out any dirt and bugs that have taken up residence. Dump the flowers into a colander and thwack it against the side of the sink to shake off the excess water.3. Stuff the pint jar with the blooms. Don't be too Martha about this. It's okay if the blossoms get crushed a bit. (Confession, I lightly packed the flowers for the photo because I wanted pretty-pretty. Don't be precious like me.)4. Pour enough of the warm vinegar into the jar just to submerge the blossoms, using a metal spoon to push down any errant blooms that want to float up over the top. You might not need all of the vinegar.5. Let the vinegar cool, then place a square of parchment paper over the opening of the jar and screw on the top. You want to make sure the vinegar doesn't come in contact with the metal lid, as the acid will erode the finish of the cap and do nasty things to the taste of your infused vinegar. Of course, you can make short work of this by using a glass-lidded canning jar-I just can never find them. Place the container in a dark, cool spot that's so hidden you'll forget about it. This infusion benefits from a long steep-1 to 2 weeks minimum. Trust me, the vinegar will bless you abundantly for your patience-or your forgetfulness.6. When you're happy with the chive-y strength of the brew, strain it through a fine sieve and toss the spent blossoms. Pour the vinegar into your favorite (preferably glass) sterilized bottle with a rubber stopper and display prominently. Its hue-the blush of a very embarrassed Rosé-is a great conversation starter. Just don't forget to use it.Recipe used with permission. Chive Blossom Vinegar Recipe © 2012 David Leite. Photo © 2012 David Leite. All rights reserved.

Author Info
|Stephen King
|Born in 1947, Stephen King has become a household name all over the world. His mother raised him and his brother after their father deserted the family in 1950. In high school, King began to write short stories, his first published work appearing in 1968. He attended the University of Maine, graduating with a B.S. in 1970. Up until his first novel appeared, King had worked in an industrial laundry, as a janitor, as well as an English teacher. CARRIE, his debut, was met by a largely indifferent public in 1974. It wasn't until two years later, after King's second novel 'SALEM'S LOT and the filmed version of CARRIE, that King became a major player in the horror field. THE SHINING, his 1977 haunted hotel novel, began a litany of bestsellers, including THE STAND, THE DEAD ZONE, PET SEMETARY, DOLORES CLAIBORNE, and many others. King's work is regarded as instrumental in bringing about a resurgence of interest in horror fiction in the 1970s and '80s. An extremely high percentage of King's voluminous literary output has been filmed, with varying degrees of success, but all serving to carry the name of Stephen King far and wide. He has written nonfiction, given lectures, acted in films, and continues to produce huge novels nearly every year, all of which become instant bestsellers. As an bizarre sidenote, during the summer of 1999 while walking along a back road in Maine, King was struck and seriously injured by a minivan whose driver apparently lost control of the vehicle while being distracted by his dog--thus creating exactly the kind of news item that might have inspired several of King's own novels.

From A Wiki of Ice and Fire - A Song of Ice and Fire & Game of Thrones
Dragonbone is the material that is created from the bones of dragons. It is used to make many items of value. This is because of its rarity and its special properties.
Properties of Dragonbone
Dragonbone is black. This is due to its high iron content. It is as strong as other metals, such as steel, yet lighter and more flexible. Dragonbone bows are highly sought after as they can fire arrows over a much farther range than normal wooden bows.[1]

Pizzarelle, A Roman Pesach Tradition
14/03/2013, 5 comments.
Rome's Jewish community has a rich and flavorful culinary tradition that spans 22 centuries and encompasses native Roman, as well as Spanish, Libyan and Sicilian influences. Sweets are particularly important–try Boccione Il Forno del Ghetto and Mondo di Laura for proof–and during Pesach, one of the community's best sweets is prepared. These blink-and-you-miss-them treats are called pizzarelle and the maleable honey-soaked cookies are made from moistened matzo mixed with eggs, sugar, raisins, cinnamon, and orange zest.
The amalgamation is formed into fist-sized wads and deep fried, then rolled in honey. Pizzarelle time comes but once a year, so be sure to stop by Boccione Il Forno del Ghetto in Rome's Jewish Ghetto (Via del Portico d'Ottavia 1) March 28 or 29 or you'll be stuck waiting for them until Passover 5774!

I have tried doing the math on this, is the right dates for heading out on the important pizzarelle hunt in 2015 the 6. and 7. of April?
theoretically, Sigurd, but they wouldn't confirm the dates when a friend asked.
thanks Katie! Will try my luck, and keep eyes open in social media;-)

Located in part of an ancient wooden church, Nel is graced with a lovely terrace—perfect for Amsterdam's eagerly anticipated sunny days. A reasonably priced menu hops the globe from salads to burgers to soups, thugh the food is best described as basic. You can always just drop by for a drink and enjoy the view and the sunshine.
