History of the Eagles, Part One: It's a fact that Their Greatest Hits by the Eagles is tied with Michael Jackson's Thriller for the top selling album in the United States, like, ever. But the thing is, even though this two-hour documentary (and that's just Part One) was conceived of by the band members themselves, it ain't about their triumphs — not exactly. That's because Glenn Frey and Don Henley hired Allison Ellwood (Magic Trip, PBS' American High) and Alex Gibney (Gonzo, Enron) for the job, two real-deal documentarians who agreed to take on the project only if they could tell the

John Carpenter Series - Vampires LbNA # 34042 (ARCHIVED)
|Placed Date
|Aug 12 2007
|Bowling Green, KY
|Found By
|the Emerald Bee
|Last Found

|Hike Distance
*Update* Stamp has been stolen again! I plan to recarve, but will be finding a more secure spot. Check back for new clues.
Directions: From I-65, take exit 20 William H. Natcher Parkway toward Bowling Green/Owensboro. Take exit 4 for US-31W toward Bowling Green. Turn right at US-31W N. 31W turns into Nashville Rd.
Horror movie king John Carpenter was born in Carthage, New York but he and his family moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1953. Many of his movies have Bowling Green references. This letterbox holds one of five John Carpenter stamps planted in the Bowling Green area.
Vampires Box:
Even now, on the eve of the 21st century, vampires rise from loamy graves in search of human prey. The blood they crave is the nectar of immortality, their thirst insatiable as needy fangs tear through the flesh of innocents. Your vampire hides at Lost River Cave. Can you catch him? You will have to visit the cave during daylight hours. Armed with your trusty stamp and ink, park in the lot and cross the bridge toward the nature trails. However, it is the cave you seek, so you will not stroll the trails at this time. Instead walk past the boat tour waiting area and turn left away from the trails.
Walk until you feel the cool air and see the blue hole. Continue until you reach the "Cave Valley of Dreams". Maybe you will feel the romantic aura of the site. It is said if you look into the blue waters of the river you will see your soul mate looking back. Beware that looking into those waters now may hold the face of your vampire.
Quickly continue on your way until you come face to face with Jesse James. His gang was believed to hide in this cave long ago. Stop and read about Jesse, John Hunt Morgan, and the old Cave Mill. You will be at the mouth of the largest cave opening east of the Mississippi. Walk quietly into the mouth of the cave and imagine the Big Bands that played here when it was an underground nightclub.
Once you have explored the cave and realized there are no vampires to be seen, go back to John Hunt Morgan and take the Riverwalk. You will walk along the river following the stone wall until you see a stump on your left that has electrical boxes on it. Face the stump. Your vampire is hiding about one long arm length to the right in the stone wall. There is a loose rock blocking opening. I hope he's sleeping! (*Note, last time I checked I could not get the rock loose. But, you can get your hand in the hole behind it.)
The cave tour runs this route so beware of crowds. Please make sure to reseal and rehide the box in it's original location securely with the rock in front of it. If you have time, take the underground boat tour. You may also want to retrace your steps back to the nature trails and find ky chameleon's cave critter series. The hike is beautiful!
They were charging to hike the trails, but when this box was planted, they had a sign that stated that the nature trails were free.

Saratoga has a new mayor, and Jill Hunter still can't believe it's her.
The Saratoga City Council on Dec. 5 unanimously selected vice mayor Hunter as mayor and Councilwoman Emily Lo as vice mayor. Hunter takes the position vacated by two-time mayor Chuck Page.
Hunter said she hopes she is an example to her three granddaughters, saying that a woman can be whatever she sets out to be. She said she also expects to work hard and try to do a good job as mayor.
"This is such an incredibly special city to me," Hunter said after being selected. "In the 31 years I've been here, I've learned to love everything about Saratoga. It means I love the hills, I love the downtown--we live very close to our historic downtown--I love the history, I love the people and I love the diversity of Saratoga. It's such an honor to meet people from all over the world who live here now.
"The thought about being mayor of Saratoga after 31 years is just mind-boggling to me."
Hunter, who had been a Saratoga Union School District board member and planning commissioner, was first elected to the council in 2006. She was re-elected in 2010.
Councilman Manny Cappello worked alongside Hunter when they were on the planning commission.
"Jill, we go way back and I respect you immensely. I know we don't always agree, but that's OK. At the end of the day, or end of debate, we always end up with hugs and smiles. I appreciate that very much," he said.
Councilman Howard Miller added, "I look forward to you leading, as you always have, with an open heart and a smile and with the best interest of all citizens at heart."
Lo was voted onto the council for the first time in 2010. She had previously been president of the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce.
She said she was honored to be selected as vice mayor by her peers.
"I'm going to do my best to enhance our outreach efforts to our residents. Not only do we have diversity in our city, I see diversity on our council, too. We have council members coming from all different backgrounds with different expertise and areas of knowledge. I look forward to working with the other council members and doing what is best for our city," Lo said.
Like Hunter, Page was voted onto the council for the first time in 2006 and re-elected in 2010. He was mayor in 2009 and then again in 2012. He had also been a planning commissioner.
"When we're elected to the city council, that's an honor and that comes from the citizens," Page said. "To be elected mayor is an honor and a privilege, and it's the other council members that make that happen.
"My boss is you, the people that elected me. Throughout my term as mayor, and as a council member, I've always tried to keep that as my No. 1 statute. It's not about me, it's about you. And everything that I've done, and the leadership I've portrayed, is about doing better for Saratoga and for our citizens."

Protected: 10 Mainstream Snubs Set Right By The NAACP Image Awards
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
Lenora Jones has lived in her house in Homewood for 15 years, but being on a limited income, over time things she wanted to address—painting, drafty windows, a broken stove—all got beyond her ability to catch up. That all changed Jan. 16, when service professionals and volunteers from AmeriCorps, arrived at her house and, over the course of three days, replaced her stove, put in new cabinets and flooring, and replaced windows—all for free. WE'RE COOKING NOW—Lenora Jones stands in her brand new kitchen, thanks to the Sustainable Home Improvement Partnership, which renovated 14 houses in Homewood. (Photo by J.L. Martello.) "I am so excited," she said. "I was just asking for something small, but they said I needed a whole new kitchen, and they gave it to me. New floor, new countertops; it's a really good thing."
While almost every other property owner in Pittsburgh was waiting to hear Judge Stanton Wettick's ruling on tax assessments, Jan. 12, Community Empowerment Association founder Rashad Byrdsong was at the Urban Redevelopment Authority board meeting learning his agency had been approved for $250,000 in new funding. RASHAD BYRDSONG
The much anticipated feature film about the heroic Tuskegee Airmen has finally hit the big screen. What was intended to be the equivalent to a patriotic John Wayne war flick with Black heroes has turned into a raging controversy of whose vision/version is correct and the Internet is the battlefield. 'RED TAILS' CAST
DETROIT (AP)—The federal government now says a 101-year-old Detroit woman it promised could move back into her foreclosed home four months ago can't return because the building's unsanitary and unsafe. Texana Hollis was evicted Sept. 12 and her belongings placed outside after her 65-year-old son failed to pay property taxes linked to a reverse mortgage and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development foreclosed on the home.

Have you noticed that no matter what store you shop in there are sale signs everywhere? For those of us who love shopping for a bargain, this can be misleading and downright sneaky. Some of this merchandise is really marked down but some stores know that women are driven to sales racks. If you aren't careful you could end up with a closet full of stuff just because it was on sale. I know I am driven to the sale rack; I stop there first. Ladies, here is some advice from a New York City-based image consultant, Marla Tomazin.
If you ask Urban Redevelopment Authority Executive Director Rob Stephany what the agency's priorities are for 2012, he points to Homewood and Larimer, and returning equity to a largely Black population that's seen it steadily eroded for decades. "We have two very important tax credit applications pending related to the Larimer plan and a senior housing project in Homewood," he said. "What I love about the Larimer Plan is it addresses the market issues they have. I think the Larimer Consensus Group is working at removing the rustbelt scab better than anyone I've seen nationally. And it's their plan, we're just trying to help."
NEW YORK (AP)—President Barack Obama got some high-profile fundraising help last week from director Spike Lee and musicians Al Green and India.Arie. Obama was in New York Jan. 20 for a high-dollar fundraiser at director Spike Lee's home and a campaign event at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, with performances by Green, India.Arie and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda.

by Jerry SchwartzAssociated Press Writer (AP)—Is it too much to ask our presidents to uphold the Constitution, command the armed forces, execute the nation's laws—AND provide us with a little musical interlude? The question comes to mind in the wake of Barack Obama's recent appearance at the Apollo Theater, when the leader of the free world took a moment to channel the Rev. Al Green, singing a bar from "Let's Stay Together." The crowd (and admirers on the Internet) went nuts, reacting in a way they rarely do to, say, a veto message or a Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Only the most useful, hardest-working gadgets earn a place in PC Advisor's hand luggage. Here are our tips for how to pack light but still be fully kitted out for a summer trip
A gadget used to be a whimsical piece of frippery that was more of a talking point than a practical piece of electronics kit. These days, the focus is on portability, practicality and lengthy battery life. You don't need to pack a massive digital SLR camera with three different lenses if you're heading off on a weekend break. A point-and-shoot camera with sufficient zoom range and image stabilisation is probably a better bet. If you must have lens options, a Micro Four Thirds camera is a good compromise, since its body is far smaller than an SLR camera's and the lenses are commensurately smaller and lighter too.
Choose wisely and you'll be able to snap away to your heart's content and not need to recharge the battery either, meaning one less charger eating into that tiny luggage allowance. Look for a CIPA-certified indication of battery life. A decent camera will last 300 shots between charges; some models stretch to as many as 1,000 shots, but bear in mind this doesn't take into account how much battery is drained by browsing through the day's photos, nor the additional power used up by capturing and playing video or zooming in and out.
Similarly, you may be able to double up on functions. Universal chargers are a great item to pack – provided that you remember to take the necessary international mains adaptor. Don't forget media cards either, and bear in mind that a single device that does it all may not be all that useful if you need to charge several items at once. A better choice may be a mains adaptor that has a pair of USB ports – Belkin and others sell such chargers for around £19.
There's still kudos to be had from toting just the right camera and mobile, as long as they're accompanied by the right backpack and you're wearing the right combination of beachwear.
Pseuds we may be, but we also like to think we know our stuff when it comes to the tech gear that matters. We've learned the hard way the cost – and extra expense – involved in lugging around gadgetry you just won't use. Chargers, international mains adaptors, spare media cards and a simple, reliable camera with a waterproof case (plus perhaps a Kindle for exceptionally long trips) are all we need.

Best Summer Gadgets: Satnavs
Depending on your experience of them, GPS/satnavs are either invaluable or a source of anxiety. They have also become shorthand for stereotypical over-dependence on technology. We like to think we have the balance about right. We'd never forsake maps entirely, but often use a satnav to help us negotiate the winding streets and one-way systems of cities with which we're unfamiliar. With less worrying over whether you need the third or fourth turning, there's more time to admire the scenery you came for.
TomTom Start 20
- £129 inc VAT
Using a TomTom needn't be a complicated process. The Start 20 is an entry-level satnav that seeks to take the mystery out of using technology to help you get from A to B. It quickly locks on to your current location, asks you to enter a town or postcode and then choose a house number or cross street for a more exact destination.
The onscreen keyboard is frustratingly sluggish and, even though the keys are large, we had to backtrack a couple of times to correct the choice we thought we'd made. However, we were impressed that the Start knew which direction the car was facing before we set off (not a given on satnavs) and by its ability to reorientate the screen when we placed it back in its docking cradle.
The slim dimensions mean it slips easily into a pocket when you're out and about.
Despite TomTom's bold claims of having the latest maps and adding thousands more miles of tarmac to its UK and Europe database, we soon caught out the Start, and we took issue with it routing us through north London's congested streets. However, the mapping is very clear, and new context information in the form of lakes, rivers, railway lines and so on help confirm you're on the right track.
Magellan eXplorist 610
- £399 inc VAT
GPS devices aren't just for preventing hapless drivers from going round in circles in the middle of an unknown city; they can also be used to help to explore the great outdoors. Magellan is the name to know in nautical navigation circles. It makes some similarly impressive (but not cheap) handheld satnavs that focus on exploring off-road locations on foot or two wheels.
The eXplorist 610 works with Ordnance Survey maps, but also functions as a more traditional satnav to help you get to the remote location from whence your great wilderness trek will commence. Relief maps and terrain information are all faithfully plotted. For those who like to go orienteering, a geo-caching model is also available.
Local knowledge
For smartphone users, there's little point in investing in a separate satnav device. You can get some great satnav software in the form of Navigon or CoPilot on the iPhone, or Telmap on BlackBerry. There are apps for almost every sort of activity, from clubbing to eating, to finding the most chilled-out spot to log into a Wi-Fi connection and catch up with the world and where to rest your head. Berlitz City Guides, TimeOut, TopTable, Harden's, Frommers, Zagat and TripAdvisor all have Android, iPhone and BlackBerry apps, while WorkSnug's internet café ambience reviews app is currently only on iPhone.
Google Maps and BlackBerry Maps do a fine job of ensuring you can skip from recommended venue to recommended venue. If the crowded city has you befuddled, however, an augmented reality app such as Layar or Poynt (available for BlackBerry and Android) can help pinpoint the restaurant or nightclub you seek in among the neon lights. Perhaps more usefully, they also show you which way the nearest tube station is to be found and where to hail a taxi.
If communication rather than navigation is what you need, quick primers on how to order a coffee or beer, plus how to ask directions, are included with most of the travel guides we mention. The Berlitz guides are worth a look since they dovetail with the language-learning programs of the same name. We also tried out a couple of free apps to help ease us into a city break in Spain, but recommend using these in combination with a more formal learning option.
If you've no time (or inclination) for classes, flash cards and repeat-after-me exercises are offered at the BBC website. Of course, if you're taking an eReader, you can load it up with a dictionary and a phrasebook.

Only the most useful, hardest-working gadgets earn a place in PC Advisor's hand luggage. Here are our tips for how to pack light but still be fully kitted out for a summer trip
Best summer gadgets: Groovy tunes
If you want more than just a good book to keep you entertained on the beach this summer, an audio player is a great option that won't take up much room in your case.
Cowon X7
- £229 inc VAT
If you crave an abundance of music, movies and books, the Cowon X7 fits the bill. It may look like an oversized touchscreen smartphone, but it's a 120GB portable media player with a 4.3in (480x272-pixel) widescreen display we found large enough to read books on. This fully featured device can play up to 10 hours of video or 103 hours of audio before needing a recharge. An FM radio, voice recorder, calculator, clock, document viewer and dictionary are other notable features. A voucher for Audible e-books and DRM-free music is included.
Apple iPod touch
- £193 inc VAT
Many people will look to the latest version of the iPod touch to entertain them on their travels. This superlative media player comes in 8GB, 32GB and 64GB capacities, priced at £189, £254 and £336 respectively – that's enough storage for plenty of iTunes tracks and downloads from the App Store. Install Truphone or another VoIP app and you'll even be able to use the touch to make web-based phone calls and check in with the folks back home.
The touch has a front-facing camera for video chat, plus a 3Mp snapper on the rear. As with the iPhone, it runs iOS 4.1 and has a super-sharp 'retina' display. The GameCenter and a three-axis gyroscope also feature.
Creative Zen Style M300
- £39 inc VAT
Creative has expanded its Zen line-up to include the Style M300. Measuring just 55x44x12mm, with a 1.5in screen, this tiny music, TV and video player fits into the palm of your hand. It's available with 4GB, 8GB or 16GB of internal flash storage, and supports microSD cards up to 32GB.
Bluetooth lets you wirelessly connect a pair of headphones; a 3.5mm jack features if you'd rather use a standard headset. Touch-sensitive buttons are used to navigate the device and control playback.
The Creative also features an FM radio, built-in mic and clock, and is available in red, yellow, black or white. Prices start at £39 for the 4GB model, up to £79 for the 16GB Zen Style M300.
Sony Walkman Music Clip
- £34 inc VAT
If you're a sporty type or would simply rather wear your MP3 player while you listen to it, the Sony Walkman Music Clip is ideal. It weighs just 28g and is less than 100mm long.
A detachable clip secures it to your clothing, bag or anything you like.
From a three-minute charge, Sony claims the Clip will provide 90 minutes of playback. A fully charged player will run for 18 hours. The Clip is available in 2GB and 4GB capacities, and a range of colours.
Radiopaq Duo
- £19 inc VAT
If you've invested in a media player, you'll want a decent pair of headphones to go with it. We like the Radiopaq Duo headphones, which come in a range of five bright colours and feature a fold-flat design for easy transportation. An adjustable headband and 15mm deep-padded cushions aid comfort. According to Radiopaq, the Duo's 40mm drivers provide detailed mid-range with a balanced, rich bass sound.
Jaybird Sportsband 2
- £99 inc VAT
If you've plans to exercise or simply can't stand to deal with tangled wires, Jaybird's Sportsband 2 Bluetooth headphones are what you need. The flexible headband is designed to 'hug' the head, while a rubberised underband ensures it stays put. Moisture-proof controls are located on the earpad, letting you play or pause a track or even answer a call on your mobile phone.
Sennheiser HD238i
- £79 inc VAT
If it's high-end headphones you're after, Sennheiser's HD238i are a great buy. These stylish cans feature foldable earpads and a sleek black metallic finish. A smart remote and mic lets Apple iPod users control audio tracks, while iPhone users can also accept incoming phone calls.
Best Summer Gadgets: cameras
A camera is a must-have travel companion for your summer holiday, if you're heading to a faraway beach or staying somewhere closer to home. Whether you want a waterproof model to document your snorkelling adventures or a point-and-shoot that can record HD video and capture stills simultaneously, great cameras to suit all budgets are available.
Kodak EasyShare Sport
- £59 inc VAT
Kodak's EasyShare Sport is waterproof up to 3m and a great buy for taking to the beach at £59. An Underwater Picture mode selects the best focus and white-balance settings to give true-to-life colours when capturing shots in the pool or under the waves.
This 12Mp camera is also dustproof, has a 2.4in colour LCD screen and can record VGA-quality video with audio, even underwater. In-camera controls let you edit footage, then share it directly with friends and family via Facebook, Kodak Gallery or YouTube upon connection to a PC.
Fujifilm FinePix Z900EXR
- £219 inc VAT
Fujifilm's FinePix Z900EXR will turn heads this summer. This 16Mp camera is available in four colours, including eye-catching pink and blue, and has a high-gloss finish. Despite housing a generous 3.5in touchscreen and a 5x wide-angle lens, the Fujifilm is just 18.2mm thick and can be easily slipped into a pocket.
You can elect to let the camera select the most suitable settings based on the surroundings, or choose between three shooting modes: high-resolution; signal-to-noise for low-light conditions; and dynamic range, which takes two pictures and combines them to create a superior image (see How to create dramatic photos with high dynamic range.)
The FinePix can record 1080p video at up to 320fps. The resulting footage can then be admired on the big screen via the camera's mini-HDMI connection. The Z900EXR has 63MB of internal flash memory, but also supports memory cards up to 32GB in capacity.
Olympus SZ-30MR
- £299 inc VAT
If it's a super-impressive zoom you're after, then the Olympus SZ-30MR is the perfect camera for your trip. This 16Mp compact's 24x zoom allows shots to be captured anywhere from 25mm to 600mm distant.
Another feature worthy of note is Multi Recording, which lets you simultaneously capture full-HD (1920x1080-pixel) video and still images. Olympus suggests that
this option could be useful if you want to capture the full scope of a scene but also have a high-resolution close-up photograph of someone in the same shot. It can also be used to capture the same shot or scene at more than one resolution setting, making it suitable for output to the web or to an HDTV without prior scaling.
The Olympus has a number of preset scene modes and a range of 'Magic Filters', including two new ones – Watercolour and Sparkle – that can be overlaid on to a shot or video as it's captured.
Pentax Optio RS1500
- £89 inc VAT
The Pentax Optio RS1500 is a 14Mp compact camera with a difference. By placing one of 10 ready-made 'skins' over the device and clipping on its protective layer, you can customise this compact's look. If none exactly matches your mood or location, five blank skins are provided for you to create your own designs. The Pentax's black lens ring can also be swapped for an orange version.
Despite this somewhat gimmicky feature, the Optio RS1500 has some useful skills in the way of photography. It features a 4x zoom lens and a 3in LCD screen, and is also capable of capturing HD video at 30fps. Movie Shake Reduction and Digital Blur Removal help to combat blur caused by accidental movement during composition of movies and still images respectively.
The Pentax also features Smile Detection and Natural Skin modes. A 'DC Superheroes'-inspired special edition Optio RS1500, which comes with skins depicting characters from the comics, is also available.

Only the most useful, hardest-working gadgets earn a place in PC Advisor's hand luggage. Here are our tips for how to pack light but still be fully kitted out for a summer trip
Best Summer Gadgets: Camcorders
You can record video clips on a mobile phone, but you'll invariably get much better results from a device designed specifically for the task. What's more, unlike smartphones, candybar-shaped camcorders tend to be at least splashproof, if not waterproof. Most (but not all) have flash memory for storage, while video capture at 720p or 1080p is the norm rather than the exception. For more accurate composition, choose a pistol-grip camcorder with a flip-out, angle-adjustable screen. The latest camcorders offer fun filter effects, image stabilisation, face recognition and even onscreen editing.
Kodak PlaySport Zx5
- £131 inc VAT
We really like the rugged Kodak PlaySport range, and the previous model won Best Camcorder at 2011 PC Advisor Awards. They are built to withstand being knocked about a bit and can be submerged in water up to 1.5m. The Zx5 offers full-HD video recording (an Action mode records HD footage at 60fps), and has a 5Mp stills camera with autofocus and face detection. Underwater footage can be shot by switching to a dedicated submarine setting – there's even an underwater white-balance setting to ensure colours are faithfully reproduced.
There's no internal memory, but the camcorder uses an SD or SDHC Card for storage. Unlike the previous Zx3 model, the battery is fixed and is charged via a microUSB port. You don't need to download your video clips to a PC before sharing them with the world; an onboard editing facility trims them back to the interesting bits. You can then share photos and video at YouTube, Facebook, Flickr and the Kodak Gallery, directly from the PlaySport.
Toshiba Camileo P20
- £119 inc VAT
We were surprised to discover that Toshiba is the second-biggest name in flash camcorders after the now defunct Flip. However, its P20 offers a solid feature set that includes full-HD video capture, and comes from a well known brand at a good price.
The slimline Camileo is a pistol-grip camcorder, which makes it much more flexible than candybar video cameras. You can compose a scene in a more natural way, angling the 3in landscape screen to suit. You can also zoom in with far more accuracy, although many camcorders use a digital zoom rather than the optical type found on digital cameras. The Toshiba's 16x-zoom rating compares favourably with the 3x and 5x of most flash camcorders, however.
The other big advantage is that this style of camcorder has a 'proper' lens shutter and CCD, allowing in more light. Experience tells us not to depend too heavily on the stills function of this type of camcorder: the P20 is rated at 5Mp, but sluggish response times mean you may miss the action.
As with the Kodak PlaySport, you need to stump up for a media card to store photos and videos you record – here, SD cards up to 64GB are supported. There's also a one-touch upload feature for sharing your footage on YouTube.
Kodak Playfull
- £115 inc VAT
The Kodak Playfull takes a slightly different tack to the Zx5 and P20: in shape and size it's more like a feature phone than a camera. It weighs 92g and takes up just 16x41x100mm of luggage space. Nonetheless, it's a 1080p video recorder with a 5Mp CMOS for still photos and digital image stabilisation.
The Playfull can take 16GB SD cards and has a 1.8in colour screen for image previews and playback. We found this screen rather small and were also concerned by the flimsy way the fold-out USB arm was attached.
Kodak has kept the range of shooting options to a minimum. A Share button lets you upload footage to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Kodak Pulse and Gallery or email them to a friend.
Best Summer Gadgets: E-book readers & cheap tablets
Even if you've no intention of packing an arsenal of electronic gadgetry, an eReader may well be on your list. Paperbacks take up far too much room and are relatively heavy, whereas an Amazon Kindle or Sony Reader weighs a fraction of the amount and can store hundreds of novels and reference books. You can even use some e-book readers to play music. Models that support MP3 playback tend to be supplied with a pair of earbuds, too.
Another point in the e-book's favour is that its pages won't wrinkle. They won't thank you for a dunk in the sea, of course, but with no moving parts and in essence a sealed unit, the average e-book device is better equipped for a day on the beach than most gadgetry. Folio protective cases are also available.
Amazon Kindle 3
- From £111 inc VAT
Easily the best-known e-book reader on the market, the Kindle comes in Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi + 3G versions. With the Wi-Fi model, you need to remember to load books on to the device before you set off on holiday, whereas the 3G option lets you do so from anywhere you have mobile reception. Handily, Amazon foots the data bill too.
The Kindle weighs 246g, which is marginally more than some similar readers. However, it's noticeably slinkier than the Sony Reader, for example. It measures 9x122x190mm – a frame that snugly fits its 6in E-Ink screen. Those familiar with the original Kindle's design will notice that this version has less spare white space surrounding the hard plastic keys used to type in search keywords. Back and forward buttons make it easy to move from page to page. A D-pad is used for navigation.
3G connectivity means you can use the Kindle as a rudimentary (and somewhat sluggish) web-browsing device. However, its forte is serving up page after page of lovely words in whatever size you choose.
Archos 70
- £217 inc VAT
If you like the idea of an e-book reader but wonder what else that slim slate could be doing for you, the Archos 70 may appeal.
It's a hybrid Google Android tablet and e-book reader with Wi-Fi but no 3G. It's a little heavier than the Kindle at 372g, but it offers a much better browsing experience thanks to the inclusion of a 'real' web browser.
You get a 7in (800x480-pixel) colour touchscreen, although we've seen sharper displays. This is no substitute for a 'proper' Android device (see page 139 for our tablet recommendations), but we can't quibble about the price or number of features on this device. The Archos provides 4GB of storage and supports MP3 playback (earphones are provided).
BeBook Club
- £129 inc VAT
The BeBook Club offers little that the Kindle doesn't and, at 278g, tips the scales a little more too. The 6in screen has a 600x800-pixel resolution, making it sharper than the Archos', while a claimed battery life of 25 hours (even if you're listening to MP3s as well as reading novels) is a bold claim.
Just 512MB of internal memory is included, but the BeBook supports SD cards up to 16GB capacity. The dimensions are a modest 11x121x196mm, and support for Adobe DRM content as well as Mobi comics, PDFs ePubs, txt files and so on are all included. A good alternative to the Club is BeBook's Live Android tablet.

Only the most useful, hardest-working gadgets earn a place in PC Advisor's hand luggage. Here are our tips for how to pack light but still be fully kitted out for a summer trip
Best Summer Gadgets: Charging and memory
Whether you're going for a day trip to the coast or two weeks trekking in the jungle, it's not just gadgets such as cameras and MP3 players that'll come in handy. There are plenty of smaller items, such as media cards, smartphone accessories, chargers and even gadget insurance that are a must.
Duracell MyGrid
- £69 inc VAT
There's no need to cart several chargers around with you on your holiday. Save space, weight and tangled wires by packing a universal charger instead. The Duracell MyGrid is able to wirelessly charge up to four gadgets at once. Connect the MyGrid charging pad to a power source, then slip a Power Sleeve (which fits over your device) or Power Clip (which connects to your device's charging port and curves round the back of the gadget) to any item you want to charge. Place the device on the MyGrid power mat to begin charging.
Seven Power Sleeves and Power Clips are available, supporting the Apple iPhone and iPod touch, the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl, Nokia mobile phones and other handsets and devices that charge using a microUSB or miniUSB connector.
The touch-sensitive MyGrid, which measures 170x214x20mm, can detect when moisture or metal such as keys and coins are in contact with the pad. In such an event charging will automatically shut off, ensuring that there's no chance of an electric shock.
The Duracell MyGrid costs £69 inc VAT, while the Power Sleeves and Power Clips cost £19.
iGo Charge Anywhere
- £49 inc VAT
The iGo Charge Anywhere is an alternative device charger that stores energy and can be used to power up a dead gadget when mains power isn't available. Plug the iGo into a power socket and, while its internal battery is being charged, its two USB ports can be used to charge electronic devices.
Simply select and connect the relevant power tip to your iPhone, BlackBerry or other device, then connect the other end to the iGo Charge Anywhere.
Rollei iPhone lens
- £35 inc VAT
If you can't stretch to a new camera this summer, you can always make use of the camera on your smartphone. However, mobile phone cameras have their limitations and Apple's iPhone 4 is no exception. This is where German camera maker Rollei's ingenious solution comes in. The Rollei iPhone Telephoto Lens is a suction-based lens that allows you to take extreme close-ups that you can then examine in pin-sharp detail on the iPhone's retina screen. Digital zooming at up to 8x is possible, and a mini tripod is supplied.
Eye-Fi Mobile X2
- £79 inc VAT
The Eye-Fi is an 8GB wireless memory card that lets you transfer photos from your camera to a laptop, PC or the web. The Mobile X2 has a Direct Mode that establishes a direct connection with an Apple or Google Android device and sends photos and video direct from the camera to a free app, subsequently making it available 'online' even when no Wi-Fi network is available.
Gadget insurance
Finally, if you're taking your gadgets out and about, consider a dedicated gadget insurance policy from firms such as Protect Your Bubble or Insure and Go. Specifically aimed at high-tech devices, these policies start from as little as £1.49 per month and protect your gadgets against accidental and liquid damage, theft and breakdown.
Protect Your Bubble has joined forces with reward-and-return service TagBak (tagbak.co.uk). It provides a tag that can be stuck to the back of a device and registered online. If the gadget is lost, the finder simply uses the contact details on the tag to alert TagBak about the device's whereabouts. TagBak will then arrange the return of the gadget to its rightful owner, and reward the finder for their help. TagBak costs £12.95 a year, but Protect Your Bubble customers can register up to three of their precious gadgets using the service.

Willamette Pass Reviews & Tips (2)
My wife and I just had the worst customer service experience of our lives at Willamette Pass Ski Area. After driving 3 hours from Portland to meet some friends for a day of skiing, we attempted to pay for our lift tickets with a gift certificate we had received about a year ago. We had been emailed the gift certificate and did not see the fine print stating that the gift card was only valid for the current season (turns out this is illegal under Oregon statutes (chapter 646A) on trade regulation). We were eventually passed to the on-duty mountain manager. After we questioned the legality of expiring gift cards, the gentleman told us to "take them to small claims court". With such a display of inflexibility, we turned around and walked out. Aside from the legal issues, why on earth would someone in the business of providing fun treat customers with such disrespect? I will never ski at Willamette Pass again.
Willamette Pass review written Mar 09 2014 - 07:39 PM
Willamette is a great smaller ski/snowboard resort. It is less crowded than Bachelor or Timberline, but still has nice runs and usually quite good snow. It is one of the better places for beginners as well. The mountain has a good variety of runs, from seriously steep and nasty to easy beginner runs, and plenty of runs that are in between those extremes. The view of Odell Lake from the summit is absolutely beautiful on a clear day.

Brussels Takes Breather on Russia Sanctions, But Maybe Not for Long
Just because the European Union decided not to impose additional sanctions on Russia today doesn't mean the EU and its allies won't do so in the near future.
That's the takeaway Tuesday everywhere from the U.S. Treasury Department to the top American business lobby, not to mention in Brussels, where a meeting of senior officials ended with a decision not to impose new penalties on Russia—for now.
So far, the U.S. and the EU have placed dozens of Russians and Ukrainian separatists on a sanctions list, and Washington has also targeted a few firms closely linked to President Vladimir Putin's inner circle.
In a choreographed threat on Friday, both the EU and the U.S. warned Russia it would face more serious sanctions, potentially affecting major businesses or entire sectors of the economy in the future, if it didn't take certain steps to deescalate the crisis in eastern Ukraine.
Over the weekend, Mr. Putin appeared to open the door to some key concessions, including potentially working with a European monitoring group to monitor border crossing points with Ukraine. He joined two conference calls with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande.
But American officials said Monday Mr. Putin had a great deal more to do to defuse tensions in eastern Ukraine, where heavily armed separatists are waging a fight against Kiev. Western governments say Moscow is providing the arms.
In Germany, Russia's biggest trading partner on the Continent, a top official and lawmaker on Tuesday backed stepped up sanctions, and many expected the EU to announce new penalties on Moscow as early as Tuesday, hours after Mr. Poroshenko ended a ceasefire and renewed an advance on the separatists.
But instead, noting Russia's mixed compliance with its demands, the EU held off on additional sanctions at the meeting, according to several diplomats familiar with discussions, with the bloc deciding to closely monitor the situation on the ground over coming days.
Mr. Putin's critics say he is maneuvering skilfully to divide the EU and prevent more serious sanctions. Such a strategy could also help fend off U.S. sanctions, since American officials and U.S. business leaders have backed moving in parallel with Brussels to avoid the possibility of a one-sided Russian retaliation.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Tuesday that "we have made clear we are very prepared to take the next steps, should we need to, on sanctions"
"The Europeans have made clear that they share our view that what Russia has been doing is unacceptable and that if they need to take additional action, they will, and they've made clear that they're ready to reconvene whenever they need to, to take additional decisions," Mr. Lew said at an event hosted by the U.S.-China Business Council.
An official at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said that Europe, which signed a far-reaching trade agreement with Ukraine Friday, appears more willing to push back against Russia. "They've loaded the gun, but they haven't pulled the trigger" on sanctions, said Gary Litman, the Chamber's vice president for international strategic initiatives.
Western business leaders worry such sanctions will hurt investments in Russia and future opportunities there. "We believe that the G7 commitment to sanctions remains very much intact," he said.
Business leaders on both sides of the Atlantic will be watching closely when EU heads of government are scheduled to meet next, on July 16.

Hi there,
I've just been nosing around the forums having just joined Askbaby, so felt I just had to reply. I have two little or rather not so little boys now and was told the same about both of them. Sometimes I'm beginning to feel that no matter what you do someone will always have a comment. My eldest son was 7lb 6oz's at birth and from the minute he arrived all he did was eat!!!! I was only in hospital for 4hrs after the birth and he didn't stop eating the entire time. He'd gained 5oz's by day 7, and has continued like that to this day. He is now a well preportioned, happy, healthy and thriving four year old. He's in no way fat he just has an appetite to challenge most adults. I've had health professional tell me he may have worms!!!! That I should stop him eating so much etc. To them I always say the same; that whilst I respect their opinion I am his mother and I know if my child is ill or just being a little piggy!!! He doesn't eat junk except for the odd treat, he just eats healthy food, the same goes for my 18mth old whose appetite is on par with his big brothers. They are both big but as my husband is 6ft 5inches and I'm 5ft 8inches they were hardly going to be small.
If you know in your heart that your child is happy, healthy and thriving then that is all the information you need. It sounds to me that you are doing a brilliant job of nuturing your child so carry on the good work and next time you get comments like this just smile sweetly and think do YOU think there is a problem with your child. If the answer in your is no then carry on. If yes then ask for help but please remember you know your child. They may have knowledge and experience that can sometimes be invaluable but you are with your child 24/7 and so have the greatest knowledge possible that no book can replace.
Take care and enjoy motherhood.

Well, my Beastmen just took another Best Overall finish in our local Spring tournament.
I ran a minobus list with a ghorgon...I know everyone LOVES those rare choices of ours.
Round one I faced Vampire Counts. I think the minobus is a tough match up for vampires because of the sheer number of wounds dished out in a turn. It's probably a tougher match up than the typical herdstone spam lists. Ultimately, the win for me came down to me getting my minobus into the massive hoard of skeletons with his general and doing so many wounds to them and winning combat by such a massive amount that he just lost far too many wounds for his magic to recover. I never had to even cause a wound on his general for him to just crumble to death. Close game but I pulled out the win.
Round two I faced a very tough dark elf list. Even though he did a great deal of damage with a Pit of Shades and his hydras, ultimately the game was decided by a single poor roll on my part. All I needed to roll was a 7 for my minobus to get into his corsairs in hoard formation, two hand weapons and frenzied. I rolled a 4, stumbling ahead 3 inches. Then he charged, rolled a 26 for his Mindrazor while I failed to dispel by rolling a 25...and that was game. Not much I can do about that. If I would have gotten the charge off as planned, his corsairs wouldn't have had the benefit of the magic boosting their strength from 3 to 8 and I would have rolled over them rather quickly. It cost me the game. Oh well. I still managed to capture other tournament points for certain victory conditions on the board with all the chaff I bring to the table and that was enough to give me a few extra points even though I lost.
Round three my children of chaos performed amazingly against the Warriors of Chaos. Through tactical deployment of my units I managed to bait his unit of 6 chaos ogres onto the wrong side of the battle field. The chalice came in handy turn one when I shut down his hell cannon for a turn...only to see him misfire 2nd turn and gobble up all of his crew. The ghorgon performed very well this game taking down a giant as well as flank charging a unit of marauders with great weapons and wiping them out too. My units of gor and ungor held up his unit of khorne warriors and the rampaging hell cannon until the end of the game. That allowed the minotaur unit to take on his toughest huge unit of chaos warriors with the general and bsb. He did some wounds to each of my characters leading the unit, but due to attack allocation, he couldn't quite squeeze out the last wound needed here or there to make one fall. The warriors broke and ran after a couple turns when their ranks dropped to 2 to equal mine. Then, because they broke on the warriors turn, I was able to run them down with a single razorgor charge on my turn. In the end, I'd captured every tournament victory point...which was very difficult for this final battle scenario. And, it was enough for me to eek out a single final tournament point win for best overall.
The dark elf player that beat me ended up with more victory points from the battles, but my painting scores were just enough to give me the overall victory.
The tournament was a lot of fun. And, since it's the 2nd one in a row that I've won with my beastmen, some people around here are starting to respect the true children of chaos.

Congrats on the win! And yeah, DE is just tough times for Beastmen, especially if you flub some rolls.

Well done on the win, I recently when to Call to War, managed to lose all 6 games and finished a rather embarrising 93rd out of 100 players. Hehe it was fun though, Highest Beastmen Army was 30th I think.

Former Utne Reader senior editor Keith Goetzman on environmental issues from climate change to composting.
by Keith Goetzman
Environment, water, conservation, energy, beer, breweries, sustainable business, Sustainable Industries, Keith Goetzman
I like beer, especially distinctive and flavorful craft brews, and I'm an environmentalist. So I was disappointed to learn that the beer-brewing process is incredibly water-intensive, using six to eight gallons of water for every gallon of beer produced. Fortunately, some green-minded brewers are finding ways to reduce their water use, as well as to conserve energy and other resources.
Sustainable Industries reports in its February issue that Full Sail Brewing in Hood River, Oregon, the nation's ninth largest craft brewery, has taken on water conservation with great zeal, reducing its water use to just 3.45 gallons for each gallon of beer brewed. The brewery also operates on a four-day workweek to cut down on water and energy use.
"We're dedicated to operating our brewery in the most socially and environmentally sustaining manner possible, while producing world-class ales and lagers of the highest quality," Full Sail's website states, throwing in a nod toward the Columbia Gorge area's natural beauty: "Let's face it—without this heavenly environment, there would be no heavenly brews." Read more on the "Responsibility" page of the Full Sail website.
Since I live in the Midwest, near the Great Lakes watershed, I was encouraged to see that many brewers in the Great Lakes region attended an event last October, the Great Lakes Craft Brewers and Water Conservation Conference, that's been called the first independent gathering to bring together craft brewers, policymakers, and nonprofit organizations to discuss water conservation.
A blogger known unfortunately as the Beer Wench, Ashley Routson, wrote about the conference and the underlying water resource issues. Despite Routson's limited grasp of environmental issues—she states that water shortages and global warming "are extremely controversial and both are disputed," which sounds like Denial Inc. talking—she nonetheless compiles some enlightening statistics about declining worldwide water supplies.
One commenter on her post, home brewer Brian Cendrowski, conjures a vivid picture of brewery water use: "I spent a few days interning at a small craft brewer, and it was an eye-opening experience how much water was used throughout the process. It was a like a water park. I felt like I should have had my bathing suit on. Part of the issue for breweries is that everything has to be cleaned and sanitized so thoroughly. That requires water."
How does the green-beer discussion affect my world? Well, I often drink a local craft brew, Summit Extra Pale Ale, in part because it's a great beer and in part because I don't like to buy brews shipped across the country or the world, a carbon-intensive undertaking. (Eat locally, drink locally.) But I don't see any evidence of environmental consciousness on Summit's website, let alone in its beer packaging: The 12-pack cartons that hold the best-selling Extra Pale Ale don't boast of recycled content or even indicate their own recyclability. However, I was encouraged to catch a glimpse of Summit owner Mark Stutrud in a YouTube video report from the Great Lakes conference. Perhaps he was taking notes and is about to unveil some great new green initiatives. In the meantime, I think I'll pick up a six-pack of Full Sail as a vote of confidence with my wallet.
The next Great Lakes Craft Brewers and Water Conservation Conference will be held October 18 and 19 in Milwaukee and Plain, Wisconsin.

Enron Jury Explains Verdict
After 15 weeks of testimony in the fraud and conspiracy trial of Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling, the 8 woman-4 man jury reached a unanimous decision on the sixth day of deliberation. Lay was found guilty on all six of the charges against him and Skilling was found guilty on 19 of the 28 charges against him. After the verdict was read in court, the jury addressed questions from the media. The press conference is 48 minutes in length and can be heard in its entirety here.
