April 5, 2011 —
Even the air seemed energized with possibility and impassioned activism at a special event held in the Town of Lumberland on April 2. Organized to raise both awareness and funds, the event drew a large crowd who turned out to view "FRACK!," the new drilling documentary by David Morris, which examines multiple aspects of natural gas extraction.
The showing was followed by a question-and-answer session featuring Oscar-nominated actor Mark Ruffalo, Bruce Ferguson of Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy, Pat Carullo of Damascus Citizens for Sustainability, Wes Gillingham of Catskill Mountainkeeper and Craig Sautner, a Dimock PA resident whose water has been contaminated by Cabot gas drilling nearby.
The event was sponsored by The Homestead School, Heirloom Acres, Mountain View Manor and Lumberland Concerned Citizens. It featured an abundant potluck dinner, live jazz by Kevin Vertrees and his ensemble and eight informational booths. Grammy-award-nominated singer/songwriter Vanessa Carlton, a Homestead School graduate, and violinist Skye Steele shared a soulful and well-received set featuring new work due for release in June.
"She not only wowed the crowd with her virtuosity but won everyone over with her sincerity and commitment to being one more foot soldier in the fight to keep our water pure," said Homestead director Peter Comstock.
The event was held at Glen Spey's Mountain View Manor Resort, where guests also took advantage of an opportunity to tour the magnificent mansion. "It was a spectacular success with over 500 people walking away better informed and committed to action going forward," said Comstock.
"Lumberland Concerned Citizens is not holding its breath that the Delaware River Basin Commission with its proposed regulations and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation with its upcoming determination on the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement will do the right thing for the environment or for our way of life in this valley," he added. "We're throwing our support to the regional effort to assert home rule as a protection against gas drilling. In that regard, can't speak highly enough of the leadership being shown by the Towns of Highland, Lumberland, and Tusten.
Comstock thanked the many Homestead families that participated, brought food and gave generous donations of support.A substantial portion of the funds raised that night will go to the firmmaker to help defray production costs and travel to the many screenings being organized by Homestead mom Calin Riffle (see the film's trailer and upcoming screenings at frackthemovie.com).

Sweden's capital city spreads out over 14 islands in Lake Mälaren and looks out proudly to the Baltic Sea to the east. Her grand public buildings, palaces, rich cultural history and museums tell her 700 year-old history beautifully.
Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the Old Town (Gamla Stan); expect and get cobblestone streets, crooked but beautifully preserved buildings, the Royal Palace, gothic churches and excellent cafés, bars, restaurants and Swedish design-ware shops. Take our advice and get a hit of caffeine at one of Stockholm's many fine cafés before trawling the boutiques, shops and stores of upscale Swedish and international design boutiques of Östermalm, and independent Swedish labels, vintage and retro shops and boutiques of Södermalm. If you're a fan of Steig Larsson's Millennium Trilogy books and movies Södermalm is the place to be because this is the setting for the Millennium Tour.
Eat? Drink? Be merry? And maybe even hit the dance floor?
The oldest part of Stockholm is Gamla Stan (the Old Town) and the tiny adjacent island, of Riddarholmen. It is a place filled with stunning views, picturesque streets and historical sites.
The Stockholm archipelago is a cluster of 30,000 islands, skerries and rocks spreading 80 km east from the city into the Baltic Sea. Some of the larger islands are great spots for midsummer parties!
Ever see a Viking burial mound? Heard of Carl von Linné? Did you know that historic Uppsala is Sweden's 4th largest city. Or that Sigtuna is Sweden's first official town. Now that you know, why not visit and let Uppsala and Sigtuna get medieval on you?

Wisconsin residents have been asking varying questions about the recall election. Here are a few answers to some of them.
To ask additional questions, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
According to the Government Accountability Board, a recall gives voters the right to reconsider their choice of an elected official; however, it does not automatically result in removal of an official from office. It provides an opportunity for voters to require an elected official to run for office again before the expiration of his or her term.
An official must be in office for one year before a recall can be initiated.
The number of signatures required to trigger a recall is one-quarter of the number of votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. The requirements for initiating recall efforts are very specific and must be carefully followed, the GAB said. Anyone considering conducting a recall petition effort should contact the GAB. staff at 608-266-8005.
The Government Accountability Board has certified six recall elections for Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators.
The general recall election is set for June 5.
Republican Sen. Pam Galloway of Wausau was facing a recall election but announced she is resigning from office. The election for Galloway's open Senate seat will also be held on June 5.
The Government Accountability Board has released its list of the top 10 things a Wisconsin voter should know for the recall election on Tuesday, June 5.
The No. 1 thing voters should keep in mind is to be patient and use common sense, said Kevin Kennedy, director and general counsel of the GAB.
"The eyes of the nation will be on Wisconsin in the coming days, and we realize this recall election is an intense time for the voters, for election officials and the candidates," Kennedy said. "But whether it's exercising some patience while waiting in line to vote or using some common sense about not wearing campaign apparel or buttons to the polling place, people can make this election a lot easier on themselves and everyone else involved."
No. 2: Voters should know their rights and responsibilities before heading out to the polls, Kennedy said, which includes the ability to register to vote on Election Day. A list of voting rights and responsibilities is attached, and also available here: http://gab.wi.gov/rights.
"Election Day registration ensures that everyone who is qualified to vote will get to vote," said Kennedy. "Unlike many other states, Wisconsin has registration at the polls, so very few voters will likely be forced to vote a provisional ballot."
To register on Election Day, Wisconsin voters must provide proof of residence, which includes a current utility bill, lease, university ID card or other official document showing the voter's name and current address. Voters who have a valid Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card will be required to use their license number to complete the registration form. Otherwise, they may use the last four digits of their Social Security number.
3. Voters can check their registration status with their municipal clerk, or on the state's Voter Public Access website: https://vpa.wi.gov.
Elections Division Administrator Nat Robinson encourages registered voters to double-check their registration online. The site allows voters to look up their voter registration information, sample ballot information and polling place locations.
"Voter Public Access is very handy, and connects directly to the data in the Statewide Voter Registration System," Robinson said. "If you don't find your registration information, call the municipal clerk's office and make sure you're ready for Tuesday. But if you are not on the list, don't worry. You can still register on Election Day at the polling place."
4. Voters should know what to do if they run into a problem at the polls. "First, ask for the Chief Inspector," Robinson said. "If you are not satisfied, check with your municipal clerk. If the problem involves possible election crimes, contact your local police department or district attorney's office. If you are still not satisfied, contact our office to file a complaint or leave a comment.""
"If you see voter fraud, voter intimidation, electioneering or misconduct by election officials, we want to hear about it," said Robinson. "Voters can go online and report problems at http://gab.wi.gov/complaints, or they can call 1-866-VOTE-WIS."
5. Photo ID is not required: Wisconsin's Voter Photo ID Law has been enjoined by the courts, and an ID is not required of voters at the clerk's office for in-person absentee voting or at the polling place on Election Day. However, a driver license or state ID number is necessary to register to vote or to prove residency when registering on Election Day if the address on the license or ID is current.
6. Election observers are welcome in Wisconsin: Election observers are welcome at every polling place, but they must follow the instructions of the chief election inspector, and may not interact with voters. Rules for election observers are available at the polling place and on the G.A.B. website: http://gab.wi.gov/clerks/education-training/election-observers.
7. Ballot mistakes are not fatal: If you make a mistake when voting, you may ask for a new paper ballot, up to a total of three. In the case of touch-screen voting equipment, the voter will be able to review ballot choices before affirming the final vote.

Picasso Linocuts from the British Museum
- 24 June 2016 — 8 January 2017 *on now
This exhibition features 17 large linocut prints by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), on display for the first time outside the British Museum.
Linocutting was a technique that Picasso explored in the late 1950s and early 1960s and the prints included in this exhibition were made in 1962 when Picasso was 80 years old. The artworks featured will include prints from the 'Jacqueline Reading' series - his wife and muse - and the 'Still Life under the Lamp' series.
Showing the 'progressive' process of linocutting that Picasso employed, he cut, printed and cleaned just one piece of lino over and over again to gradually build up an image and create the finished article.
This wonderfully bold and colourful exhibition features works acquired by the British Museum with support from the Art Fund, that are counted among Picasso's most important works in linocut.

Candace Fisch & Russell Hewit
Whether you want something fancy, personal or someone to transport even your guests
The bride and groom
Photographs by Tim Coffey Photography
While living and working in Manhattan, Candace Fisch and Russell "Rusty" Hewit met through Match.com. After weeks of daily phone conversations, they decided to get together at the Jack Russell Pub and they never looked back.
Candace and Rusty were surprised that their paths hadn't crossed before, having discovered that they both played lacrosse at private New Jersey high schools and in college, and that they had mutual friends from both New Jersey and Connecticut. A year and a half after that first date, the two planned a romantic weekend getaway to the Inn at Shelburne Farms in Vermont. As soon as they arrived, Rusty proposed in the rain on the shore of Lake Champlain.
The Reverend Ian Jeremiah, Parochial Vicar, officiated at the ceremony at St. Aloysius Church in New Canaan. A reception followed at the Woodway Country Club. The bride's second-grade students wrote wedding advice booklets for the new husband and wife, which were displayed for the guests to enjoy.
The bride is the daughter of Gayle and Joseph Fisch Jr. of New Canaan. She graduated from the Lawrenceville School and Gettysburg College, with a BA in studio art. Candace received her MAT in elementary education from Manhattanville College and is a second-grade teacher at the Marymount School in New York City.
The groom is the son of Nan and Russell L. Hewit of New Vernon, New Jersey. He graduated from the Delbarton School and Washington and Lee University, with a degree in business administration. Rusty is a vice president at Knight Capital Group and works as a trader on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
The newlyweds, who are now based in Manhattan, enjoyed their honeymoon in Paris and Portugal.

You can see a blockbuster anywhere. These days, moviegoers want to know: Can I get a beer with that? How about a gin and tonic? Or a grilled panini and a salad? Yes, says the Arena Grand, you most certainly can.
The theater across the street from Nationwide Arena shows first-run Hollywood films and art-house entries. There's also a bistro serving subs, wraps, pizzas and fresh salads next to a bar serving beer, wine and liquor. It's exactly the theater that Downtown deserves.
Runners-up: Studio 35, Drexel Theatre

Sleeveless Flower Playsuit
Price: £38.00 www.topshop.com
It's no secret that we can't get enough of Topshop and we're pretty sure we're not the only ones. In recent months, we've been sent squealing with the news that JW Anderson is working with the Brit brand and, of course, we've got that Richard Nicoll bridal range to look forward to. And now, another dollop of excitement has landed in our inbox: Topshop is arriving at Nordstrom.
The US retailer will sell an assortment of Topshop designs in 14 stores across the country, from New York and Chicago to Las Vegas and Los Angeles as well as on nordstrom.com. Each department will feature a full selection of the hottest looks, including limited-edition pieces created especially for Nordstrom.
'I believe Topshop and Topman offer the Nordstrom customer something very different and unique with our signature British fashion authority,' Sir Philip Green said. 'With new pieces being delivered from our design team on pretty much a weekly basis – the ability to buy fresh, must-have looks every time a customer visits is key to our brands' point of difference.'
Ok, so it won't make a huge difference to our shopping agenda (unless Sir Phil wants to buy us a ticket to New York?), but it is another step in Topshop's world domination and for that we are grateful. Topshop's array of American celeb fans will be pretty stoked the brand is spreading the Brit love too – we're talking to you, Blake Lively – and it's sure to raise the Topshop profile even further among young American shoppers.
As for us, the news provides a valid excuse, as if we needed one, to take another browse through Topshop's wonderful wares. So why not join our celebrations by clicking though the shoppable gallery above?

Cowon iAudio 7 Review
Cowon iAudio 7 Review
by Martin Plappert for iAudiophile.net
Cowon has been designing and building MP3 players since the year 2000. The Cowon brand is still a little "underground". But for people "in the know" it is synonymous with high build quality and industry leading sound quality.
The iAudio 7 is Cowon's latest flash based MP3 player. Some people might be surprised about the fact that the iAudio 7 is the company's newest player, simply because the design is not new. Externally the i7 is a near perfect copy of the iAudio 6. Internally there are some quite big changes.
The failed 4GB 0.85 inch hard drive unit has been removed and replaced by more efficient, shock resistant and faster flash memory. Because flash memory is also physically smaller, the empty space has now been filled with battery - boosting the playtime of the i7 to a whopping claim of 60 hours. The unit will be available in 4 and 8 GB flavours for starters, but in the near future 16 GB versions should also be available. Cowon would then be one of the first companies to offer flash based MP3 players with 16 GB of storage capacity.
There are also two separate colour options available. Depending on where you live you might only be able to get the 4 GB in silver and the 8 GB in red. I myself received a 4 GB version in silver from AMP3.co.uk – thanks a lot for supplying the unit!
First Look
I was very happy to receive the i7 after a long day of hard work. The player was shipped from Scotland to Ireland within two days and I was amazed at the speedy service from AMP3.
I joyously opened the parcel and found a nicely designed box inside. Within the box I found the player sitting on top and underneath following accessories were included:
• a standard mini-USB (B) cable in black which is also compatible with Canon and Sony Digital cameras and many other devices. This is great, because when you go travelling you only need one cable.
• iAudio branded headphones – as always I recommend investing some more money in good headphones to really get the most out of your Cowon DAP. The included headphones I received seem to have a slight hiss that is noticeable when listening to quiet songs. Other users have also reported this issue.
• A quick install guide in many different languages with a total of roughly 4 pages per language
• Multiple pieces of paper in multiple languages detailing Cowon's warranty policy for the different countries
• a CD containing a copy of Cowon Media Center, a full edition of the manual in 14 different languages and a copy of Podcastready
It's a shame that there is no included line-in cable or wall charger in the bundle. I am guessing that this is being done to reduce costs as much as possible and stay competitive in this fierce market. The cable can be purchased separately for a small additional cost. Luckily for me I already have more than enough cables.
For reference here are some of the official specs grabbed from the Cowon America website:
• MP3, OGG, WMA,, ASF, FLAC, WAV, MPEG4 (video) playback, FM Radio listening and recording, voice recording, Line-In recording
• TXT(Text), JPEG(Image) File Viewer (Image Zoom, Wallpaper)
• Internal flash memory 4GB, 8GB, (16GB)
• USB 2.0 Interface
• 1.3 inch 160x128 dot, 260,000 color TFT LCD
• Long Battery Time: Up to 60 hours (Based on company test result)
Quite impressive for such a small device - let's see if the i7 can hold up to all its claims.
General Feel
Every time I get a new flash player from Cowon I can't help thinking: "This thing is tiny". Even though I had an iAudio 6, I was still quite surprised about how small the i7 really is. One thing the iAudio 7 doesn't own up to is the thinness standard that seems to be today's fashion. In comparison to the iPod Nano the i7 is just plain fat. In my opinion Cowon could have cut the battery life by 14 hours and shaved off a few mm from the players casing in return. But all in all the thickness of doesn't really bother me, because I can still remember the good old days using Walkmans and CD players that were obscenely obese by today's standards.
The i7 features a prominent bar that runs around the side of the player that is typical for all Cowon players. As previously mentioned my i7 has a silver bar, but there is also a red version available (which I personally find more appealing). Sadly enough this bar is the only thing on the player that isn't a fingerprint magnet. The rest of the player is covered in black reflective plastic that gives me the urge to polish the player constantly because it is in a perpetual state of fingerprintiness (this word is copyright 1407 by me).
Other than that I can find no external faults on the player. I managed to drop the device on a hard wooden floor within the first hour of using it and there was no visible damage at all. The unit is sturdily built. When I press the unit firmly with my hands, not much happens. The screen and the back give way by roughly a millimetre, but I am guessing this is pretty normal. Other than that, it shows no signs of creaking, bending or any other feeble behaviour. I treat all my electronics like shit. Anything that can survive me for long periods of time should normally go through years of unproblematic use with people who are friendlier to their electronics than I am. In general this is one of the main reasons why I have stuck with Cowon devices since I first bought my iAudio CW140 (which is still being used by my brother by the way). Frequent firmware updates by the company with many useful additions (especially to the D2 and A2) make having a Cowon player all the more enjoyable. If you are one of the careful types, or you just want to take good care of your player, I can recommend the Noreve leather case to you. They are excellent quality and available in a whole range of different colours.
There is a tiny speaker inside the i7 (that can be disabled of course) that gives you audible feedback to most of your actions on the touchpad. This is nice, because due to the nature of interface, there is no tactile feedback, so sound is a reasonable compromise. I find the chirping and clicking the i7 emits very enjoyable – it's like a miniature feeling of accomplishment every time you press a button.
The touch based control scheme (that looks like a "%" sign by the way) is stylishly backlit in red and blue. Sadly I don't find the interface on screen as appealing. The colours used in the GUI are a nasty mix of red, yellow, green white, blue and grey which really don't mix very well. In my opinion Cowon should re-work the colour scheme. It wouldn't take them too long, and could be easily implemented.
Before you can start listening to music on your player you need to connect it to your computer and copy some files, unless of course you want to torture yourself with endless repeats of the iAudio theme song. I would also recommend disabling all preset EQ settings. Some people like it though – I prefer flat.
Anyway – connecting the i7 to your PC is easy. All you need to do is plug it into a USB port. The device will be instantly recognized by your Windows/Mac/Linux system and you can start copying files. This is a speedy process – transfers happen at roughly 6 MB/s. This means that you can copy about 2 songs per second. Once you have copied (part of) your music collection you are good to go.
Now, there are two different ways of browsing music on the i7. One is called the file/folder method, and the other is via the id3 tag information attached to the file (like the Apple iPod). I myself am pretty old school and always use the file/folder system, because I like to have complete control. But I did test the id3 based system and was disappointed in a few respects. Tags attached to OGG and FLAC files were not correctly recognized. Apart from that id3 tag browsing is very fast and efficient.
If you are using a subscription service like "Yahoo Music Unlimited", or "Napster to go" you are in luck. The iAudio 7 supports Microsoft DRM version 10, which means that you can listen to all the music you want to (legally). The only thing you need to do is activate the Music Transfer Protocol (MTP) setting in the firmware and Windows Media Player (WMP) will automatically recognize the device. This only works in Windows XP & Vista to the best of my knowledge. I was not able to test this extensively, because I do not use any subscription services.
The Cowon iAudio 7 features the same "swing touch" controls as the iAudio 6. I was very pleased with these controls back when I first reviewed the i6. They do take a little getting used to, but once you have got the hang of them not much can compare to the speed and precision you can achieve with this touch based system. Even the iPods much revered click wheel doesn't quite cut it in comparison to these controls in my opinion.
At times the i7s controls can be a little too sensitive and they will do random stuff if you put the player in your pocket without activating the hold switch. The "in pocket friendliness" of the iAudio 7 is limited in my opinion, because you get no tactile feedback of what button you are pressing, and where exactly the buttons are. The player does not currently posses the same abilities as the Cowon D2, that allow the volume and menu buttons to function as fast forward, rewind and stop.
Features, Features, Features!
As always the new Cowon players come with more features than you can wave a stick at. Apart from just being able to play music, the i7 can also open image files and text documents, play videos on its 1.3'' screen, play and record music from the radio, record your own voice (or anyone else's for that matter) with its integrated microphone, help you digitize your record or cassette collection with its line-in recording functionality and even wake you up in the morning with its alarm clock feature.
Now, I don't want to go into too much detail on the features, because on previous reviews I would always do my head in writing up this section. I have tested these features in detail and I will give a quick impression of what is good, what is okay and what just doesn't work.
The image, text and video functionalities of the i7 are a nice additional feature to have, but for me they are definitely no selling point. The screen is too small to really be able to enjoy any of these three features in full. A few people on the forum have reported that they are very happy with the video player. If so, that's great for them, and perhaps you (the reader) would enjoy it too. The text viewer is good enough to read your shopping list off, but then it really has reached its capabilities.
I do find the FM Radio and the subsequent recording capabilities to be very useful though. The quality is good for a portable device, and while recording the quality does not suffer (this has been a significant issue in the past). There are plenty of presets, so you can save all your favourite radio stations. The auto-scan feature is pretty useless though – every time I start it by mistake because I was messing around in the sub-menus of the firmware I explode in a bundle of swearing, because it takes forever and there is no way of stopping it. If you want to hear what the quality of the FM Radio is like download a sample.
The integrated microphone can come in handy from time to time. The quality is alright, but not excellent. Here is also a sample recording I made - it says more than I could type in a few hundred words.
The Line-In recording functionality is also useful for some people, but I am wondering how many people really use it. I tested it and the quality is very good, but still I much prefer using my iAudio M3 to do line in recordings for the simple fact that I can create 314 kbps MP3 files that I can convert to whatever I want. The iAudio 7 currently only offers a maximum of 128 kbps in the unpopular WMA format, which is pretty much pure madness. Cowon at the very least give users the option of recording in up to 256 kbps WMA. Next best of course is MP3, but to make everyone happy all it would take would be to offer WAV recording capabilities.
The alarm features are quite extensive on the i7, but I find their actual usefulness limited, for the simple reason that it won't really wake you up in the morning unless you have it plugged into your stereo. If you forget to do this, the player will just turn itself on and waste some battery.
You can also set the unit to record a certain radio station at a certain time for a set amount time, but again – you have to have some cable plugged into the device, because the cable acts as the antenna.
Previously I have tried to do some battery testing. But this always made me go mental, especially seeing that playback times have become longer and longer. I think it will suffice to say, that for a few days of solid use, and only being attached to the computer to transfer songs (where the player is charged at the same time (can also be disabled)), I was not able to get less than 3 bars (of 4) on the battery indicator. Real battery life always depends on what EQ settings you are using, what volume you are listening with, and how your files are encoded. Take Cowon's claim of 60 hours and subtract 8 and you probably have a very realistic estimate for real world situations. In my opinion this is more than enough, seeing that this is equivalent to more than two days of nonstop musical pleasure.
The powerhouse of a lithium-whateverits battery is integrated into the player and is not user replaceable. Some people want the battery to be user replaceable, but under normal use after two years it should retain 80% of its capacity. And by this time you will be having wet dreams about the latest and greatest 64 GB Cowplesoft iZuneAudioPod player anyway. Ah, the joys of a throwaway consumer society!
The screen in the player is one of those new flash OLED thingies. It's a nice bright screen that performs excellently indoors and in the dark but only alright in the direct sunlight. The display is still readable, but it can be hard at times. Please do be aware of the fact, that it is really hard to take good pictures of the screen. The pics do not represent the actual performance of the screen in outside lighting conditions. I already mentioned that I don't particularly fancy the colour scheme Cowon chose for this player ...
Sound Quality has always been a selling point for players from Cowon. This is also why I thought it was necessary to invest 80 pound sterling in some excellent Grado SR80 headphones. When hooked up to the i7, the two make a wicked combo. Well, pretty much any good set of headphones will make a great combo with this player. Sound is well balanced and mainly uncoloured with good ranges all across the spectrum. There is a slight amount of hissing on the cheap Cowon headphones, but on the Grados and my Sennheiser PX140 I can't detect this behaviour.
The amount of audio settings that can be changed via the jetEffect menu is staggering. First off there is a 5 band EQ that is now semi-parametric. Don't ask me what this exactly means – some smart person told me this on the forums – I myself don't understand any words longer than "wheelbarrow".
If you throw the intensely powerful BBE effects into the mix, then you end up with a superb audio experience. You can even change the playback speed from between roughly 70% to 140%. At the fastest speed setting all voices sound like chipmunks and its hilarious for a short while until you get fed up with it and then decide to slow everything down just for the hell of it.
The hardcore audiophiles will doubtlessly be screaming "but what about gapless!?" by now. To which my reply is "No real gapless" - but 1/10 of a second is good enough for me. Here's a sample of two mp3 files switching from the excellent album "Mando Diao – Ode to Ochrasy" (between seconds 2 and 3). Perhaps at this point I should mention that hardly any player actually supports gapless playback natively.
The integrated amp pumps out a total of 52 mW of combined output power, which is enough to drive pretty much any set of high end headphones while shattering your ear drums if you are foolish enough to listen to this player at maximum volume. When hooking the i7 up to the very nice sound system in my parent's car, I was able to rock the Irish countryside with some hardcore tunes, while not being able to detect any distortion. The cat didn't appreciate my choice of music though.
Stuff the cat – the little bastard was trying to eat some cute little birdies the other day that are nesting above our door!
What does this player cost? Well, if you are from Europe, then I recommend you check out AMP3.co.uk – they have excellent service and a price match policy. At the time of writing the iAudio 7 4 GB was 169 USD, 157 € and 109 pound sterling, whereas the 8 GB version will set you back 219 USD, 215 € or a 149 pounds.
One last thing: I have been telling Cowon since the release of the iAudio M3 to include better playlisting functionalities. The only playlist the iAudio 7 has is just a very simple "dynamic playlist". But sadly it isn't dynamic at all. You can ad and remove songs from the list, but that is it! What I want to see is M3U playlist support, the ability to save playlists and advanced playlist editing.
Congratulations – you have succeeded in looking at a load of pretty pictures and probably ignoring a great part of what I have written. Now you are looking for a juicy summary of what's great and what's not. And of course you are asking yourself the question whether this player kicks ass, or if the player itself receives a sufficient amount of painful vertical acceleration into the groin area.
What's hot?
The great thing about the iAudio 7 is the fact that it is an extremely versatile player offering great format support, sweet controls, a nifty feature set, superb sound quality, excellent battery life and equally good build quality. By my use of superlatives you might have noticed that the good stuff about this player is way too much to list. Go back and re-read the review for all the good stuff about the player ;-)
What's not cool?
The fact that this thing loves to be touched might sound like a good thing, but when the evidence of you having a touchy-feely moment with the player remains for everyone to be seen, this is definitely not cool. Some of the features such as picture viewing and video playback come across a bit gimmicky, but are nice from time to time and shouldn't subtract from the general experience (if you are looking for better video and photo abilities, I strongly urge you to take a look at the Cowon D2). Something that is not excusable though is the fact that recordings are limited to 128 kbps WMA files. Similarly Cowon should also make OGG and FLAC tag support work straight out of the box and not patch it "sometime" through firmware updates. The company also needs to pay better attention to the manuals it releases, seeing that it's full of inaccuracies. More accessories could also have been included, but can be forgiven due to maximized cost reduction because of the fierce competition in today's market. The weak playlist support is also a letdown.
Final Word (really!)
Even though the cons list looks a whole load longer than that of the pros, this should not stop you from buying the iAudio 7. The faults it has a relatively minor in comparison to the whole deal you get. If you want something that easily competes with iPod Nano or other similar devices, then you can't really go wrong with the i7. Check our forums for more details that might have not have been covered in this review.

I am transferring the reviews from the old system to to this one but I have to do it manually and change some formatting, which is time consuming. Note that I am setting these posts as made by the original author (martinp in this case). As for my A3 review, haha, well it was 95% done back in January when I put it on pause while Cowon worked out the bugs in H264 playback. Guess I should finish it eh.

Ok, I know this is mostly off-topis and that this is an old review, but what is that showing on the screen of the D2? A flash program? Or something removed from current firmwares?

Concerning the file browsing method is it possible to have a folder that has contains the song titles but rather than the folder sorting out the titles of the tracks alphabetically/numercially i want them to be sorted by Artist.
On my iRiver H10 it does'nt matter who the artist is the tracks are arranged alphabetically & numerically.
On my iRiver now the track 'Airbag' by Radiohead is the 1st track on my titles folder but i don't want it to be, i want it to be grouped with other Radiohead tracks and song titles by artists that start with A should be first on the list if you see what i mean.
e.g track '05 - Radian' by Air should be before track '01- I Have Seen' by Zero 7?
On my iRiver however the Zero 7 track will be first in the list as it's filename begins with '01' compared to '05'.

Alcohol drinking has long been known to cause cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus, and liver (IARC Monographs Volume 44, 1988). The addition of breast cancer and colorectal cancer, two of the most common cancers worldwide, to this list indicates that the burden of cancer attributable to alcohol consumption is higher than previously thought. "The scientific evidence relating alcohol drinking to an increased risk of cancer continues to grow as does the contribution of alcohol drinking to the global cancer burden. (Read the entire Press Release from the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) HERE)
WHO IARC also reports that "nearly 2 billion adults worldwide are estimated to consume alcoholic beverages regularly, with an average daily consumption of 13 g of ethanol (about one drink). Alcohol consumption has already been shown to cause cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, oesophagus, colorectum, liver and female breast; there is now also some evidence for cancer of the pancreas. The relative risk of breast cancer increases with increasing alcohol intake by about 10% per 10g/day." (Source: IARC)

Briefing of previous CanCon meetings
European Guide on Quality Improvement in Comprehensive Cancer Control (CANCON - https://cancer-fi.directo.fi/en/organisation/cancon/) 2014-2017)
The EU keeps cancer on its agenda with the Joint Action 2014-2017 "Development of the European Guide on Quality Improvement in Comprehensive Cancer Control" ("CanCon"). It is again led by the National Institute of Public Health Slovenia and as with EPAAC, CANCON's actions are toward achieving the goal of reducing cancer incidence by 15% by 2020:
1) by identifying key elements and quality standards for comprehensive cancer control in Europe and preparing an evidence-based European guide on quality improvement in comprehensive cancer control; and
2) by facilitating cooperation and exchange of best practice between EU countries, to identify and define key elements to ensure optimal, comprehensive cancer care. Its core technical areas of work are in the following areas:
- Work package 4: Guide Coordination
- Work package 5: Platform for Member States' cooperation
- Work package 6: Integrated cancer care
- Work package 7: Community-level cancer control
- Work package 8: Survivorship & Rehabilitation
- Work package 9: Screening
ECL member Cancer Society of Finland is responsible for the horizontal work package on dissemination (Work Package 2), led by its Secretary General Sakari Karjalainen. ECL is the Cancer Society's Associated Partner for dissemination at the European level. ECL will organize policy conferences annually to inform policy makers, health professionals, and NGOs on the status of CANCON. The first CANCON Policy Conference is planned for Autumn of 2014, and subsequent Policy Conferences during the European Week Against Cancer end of May in 2015 and 2016.
More information on CANCON is available on the ECL website and on the Cancer Society of Finland's CANCON section https://cancer-fi.directo.fi/en/organisation/cancon/.

iHerb Customer Reviews

Wonderful Product!
Posted by Reviewer2358485 on Nov 08, 2013
I can't say enough about taking turmeric for inflammation. I was having a LOT of pain due to degenerative arthritis, and turned to turmeric rather than NSAIDs. It wasn't a quick fix but after a couple of months, it really kicked in. I was really getting pretty debilitated from severe lower back pain and shooting nerve pain down my legs. As a professional pet sitter and dog walker, it was wreaking havoc in my life. I still have pain when I turn over in bed at night, or when I move heavy items, but overall I'm good! I chose Organic India because of its high quality and because it's organic. You can find cheaper turmeric but this is important enough to me to spend more. Plus ordering from iHerb lowers the cost considerably.
Great Product, Great Brand

We love this turmeric formulation and the fact that its organic and a reliable brand. My husband has gut issues (think IBD, Chron's etc) and takes 3 per day to ward off inflammation.
Posted by karishma on Feb 08, 2014
Curcumin contains powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and even anti-cancer properties that render it a powerful, disease-fighting medicine in addition to being a culinary spice. It fights harmful bacteria, bad cholesterol, and disease-causing inflammation. Under the Ayurvedic system of healing, turmeric has been prescribed to treat a variety of ailments, including digestive issues, menstrual problems, arthritis, infections, jaundice, coughs and rheumatic pains. It is also used to cleanse the body. In Chinese medicine, turmeric is used to deal with liver and gallbladder issues.

Category: Office-tools/Fax-TelephonySnappy Fax 126.96.36.199Author: John Taylor & Associates
Operation System: Windows AllLicense: TrialSize: 17 MBDate: 2007-03-09
Snappy Fax (SF) is a full-featured fax document management system. It allows you to store previously sent faxes that can be retrieved on demand, annotated, and processed again. You can resend the entire document, or send one or more pages without the need for re-transmitting the entire document. Annotation capabilities allow you to "mark up" a document and send it back to the original sender for review. SF stores all fax images sent or received and by whatever method (virtual fax, inline email or email attachment, or web fax) in its local database for later retrieval.
Version 3 of SF introduces true "Fax Broadcasting" capability. Any document can be captured in a Queue and saved for sending at a later time, either on demand or at a predetermined date and time. You can also have queued faxes sent repeatedly to any number of recipients at specified intervals. For example, a restaurant may want to establish a fax database of menu "flyers" that can be faxed to a number of business establishments on the first day of each week. With SF, this can be done very easily and with custom cover pages if desired.
Version 3 also introduces the concept of "Web Fax". This is a very efficient method of distributing a fax document for viewing by numerous individuals. If you have ftp access to a web site, you can use SF to send a fax image to a predetermined web address and then notify any number of "recipients" via email of its existence so they can view it with their web browser.
Previous versions of SF included the ability to forward a received fax to an email ccount, however, its functionality was very limited. Version 3 expands on this to allow faxes received to be forwarded to any number of email addresses, regular fax machines or forwarded as "web faxes". The forwarding criteria can be set to apply for a predetermined time so that there is no need to indicate the forwarding parameters or recipients each time you run snappy fax.
Snappy Fax now filters unwanted faxes to reduce the volume of unwanted junk faxes you receive. The filter can be set to accept faxes from the filter numbers or to reject all faxes from the numbers in the filter list.
A full-featured cover page designer is included along with sample cover page templates that you can use as is or you can modify them in any way you want to produce the cover page you like. You can also include your company logo on the cover page if desired.
Here are some key features of "Snappy Fax":

High court rules against Dem. groupTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 28,2013MONTPELIER A Democratic advocacy group violated the states campaign finance laws by running television ads against the Republican candidate for governor in 2010 without registering as a political action committee, the state Supreme Court said on Friday, upholding a lower court ruling.
The Supreme Court also ordered a lower court to reconsider the $10,000 civil penalty it imposed on the group, Green Mountain Future, which received most of its funding from the Democratic Governors Association.
During the last months of the 2010 political campaign, the group spent more than $500,000 on political advertisements attacking Republican candidate Brian Dubie. The ads ran more than 4,000 times in September and October of that year.
Green Mountain Future argued its advertisements were purely issue advocacy and didnt seek to affect the outcome of the race between Dubie and Democrat Peter Shumlin, who were running for an open seat. Shumlin won that race and was re-elected in 2012.
The state attorney generals office argued the groups ads were designed to defeat Dubie although they did not state so explicitly.
The State argues that (Green Mountain Future)s advertisements were transparently employed to defeat the candidacy of Brian Dubie for Governor indeed, they could have no other purpose although they did not state so explicitly, said the decision, written by Justice John Dooley.
A telephone call seeking comment from the Democratic Governors Association was not immediately returned on Friday.
Following the 2010 campaign, the attorney generals office filed similar complaints against Democratic and Republican advocacy groups on the grounds they violated the states campaign finance laws.
In its original lawsuit, the state sought a $100,000 penalty from Green Mountain Future. But the lower court imposed a $10,000 penalty. The Supreme Court ordered the lower court to reconsider the amount of the penalty.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Zach Siegmeier wasn't about to let a little wind ruin his day Sunday in Columbus, Ohio.
As a pole vaulter at the University of Minnesota, Siegmeier has done his fair share of vaulting in less than ideal conditions.
"Up here in Minnesota, we're used to that," said Siegmeier, a Crystal Lake Central graduate. "We've been in full winter mode until about a week ago."
Sunday's winds at the Big Ten Conference outdoor track and field championships were unpredictable.
"The winds were all over the place," Siegmeier said. "It went from a crosswind to a headwind to a tailwind. I knew the winds were going to be a concern [all day]."
So Siegmeier adjusted by shortening his approach to each vault.
"I knew I could be more consistent with a shorter run," he said, "but I probably wouldn't jump as high."
Siegmeier was right on one account.
He cleared 17 feet, 1 inch Sunday to win the Big Ten outdoor title less than three months after he finished 24th at the conference's indoor meet.
"It's a huge accomplishment," Siegmeier said. "It's something I've been working toward my whole career. It's almost a relief, that all of the hard work that I've put in has paid off."
Siegmeier, who earned All-Big Ten first-team honors for his performance, missed his first two attempts at 16-11 to set up a pressure-packed third and final attempt.
"I think everybody else watching was a lot more nervous than I was," Siegmeier said with a laugh.
He cleared the bar on his final attempt, then was the only vaulter to clear 17-1.
"I had a feeling that was going to be the winning bar," said Siegmeier, whose personal best is 17-5 as a collegian.
Siegmeier will be one of 23 Minnesota athletes to compete beginning Thursday at the NCAA West Regional in Austin, Texas. The top 12 finishers in each event will advance to the national meet June 5 to 8 in Eugene, Ore.
"It's been a big confidence booster," Siegmeier said of the conference title. "It lets me know that all the time and sacrifice I've put in is paying off."
He said advancing to nationals likely will take a new personal best.
"I think it's going to take 17-7," he said.
Headed to nationals: Crystal Lake Central grad Mitch Osborne, a senior at Wisconsin-Whitewater, has earned a bid to play in the NCAA Division III men's tennis nationals beginning Thursday in Kalamazoo, Mich.
Osborne is one half of the Warhawks' No. 1 doubles team, which has a 15-8 record, including an eight-match winning streak with partner Ben Shkylar. They have a 9-1 record in their past 10 matches and are one of 16 doubles entrants in the tournament.
Osborne, who is playing at nationals in doubles for the second year in a row, also will be part of the Whitewater squad in the team competition beginning Monday in Kalamazoo. The Warhawks are making their seventh consecutive trip to nationals as a team.
Crystal Lake South grad Cam Laktash, a Whitewater sophomore, is 10-1 this season at No. 3 doubles and 6-4 playing at various singles spots in the lineup.
Powered by Pyan: Carthage College softball player Vicki Pyan (Crystal Lake South) was named second-team All-Great Lakes Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and second-team All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin this spring.
Pyan, a junior who plays third base, batted .359 for No. 22 Carthage this season while leading the team in doubles (15), on-base percentage (.469) and triples (two). She also ranked second on the team in runs (31), slugging percentage (.624) and stolen bases (seven).
Carthage advanced to the semifinal round of the NCAA D-III North Central Regional before its season ended with a 33-12 record.

Grasshopper could help parents monitor teen driving
Professor: Decal would not help with other problems new drivers may have
A pair of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater students decided to do something about the No. 1 cause of death for teenagers.
Driving is a big step in any teenager's life but thousands are killed or injured in driving-related incidents each year.
Christian Pedretti came up with Teen Grasshopper that ships parents a decal to put on their teen's car.
"When a following driver is concerned about that teen driving or they're driving recklessly, they can call this number," said Pedretti.
The number on the decal goes directly to the mom or dad's cellphone, Pedretti said.
"Hearing if from their mom or their dad or guardian, that is really important because it's someone that really cares about them and they have a steady relationship with. I feel like if they hear from them and are concerned, they are more likely to drive safe," Pedretti said.
For $84, parents can buy the sticker and pay $7 a month for the service.
University of Wisconsin-Madison professor John Lee studies driver behavior and said the Teen Grasshopper tactic may not solve all of the major problems with new drivers.
"Teens, like all of us, don't really understand the risks of driving," Lee said.
Risks include texting and driving, speeding and not understanding the basic rules of the road.
"With teens, I think it's this balance of experience and social conformance. That's the thing this Grasshopper invention might influence," Lee said.

Protect the shorelandsDecember 19,2013
Protect the shorelands
Proposed shoreland protection legislation pushes forward efforts to protect and improve the quality of Vermont lakes and ponds. The legislation would place reasonable regulations on shoreland activity, including clearing of native trees and bushes, and the expansion of impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces are artificial structures that are covered by impenetrable materials such as asphalt. I believe that although shoreland protection isnt the only pollution and flood control tactic, it will propel Vermont forward in its efforts to control pollution and decrease flood damage.
Other states, including Maine and New Hampshire, preserve their lakes and ponds by implementing shoreland protection laws. Legislation in Vermont is pulling ideas from their successful regulations to model our proposed laws after.
Not only is shoreland protection a crucial pollution and flood mitigation measure, it also greatly impacts fish and wildlife. Clearing vegetation and creating impervious structures on shorelands can disrupt habitats for fish and wildlife, which can make it hard, or nearly impossible, for them to survive. By protecting Vermonts shoreland, we will also be defending fish and wildlife.
Imagine a Vermont where you couldnt go swimming in your favorite place because the water was too polluted. Who wants their children swimming in dirty water? Nobody.
Vermonters have the opportunity to help shape sensible shoreland protection. You can help define the proposed model in legislation concerning our beautiful, healthy, thriving lakes and shoreland creatures in Vermont. Come to the Lake Shoreland Protection Commission meeting Jan. 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the State House to voice your opinion. If you care about the current or future health of Vermonts water, wildlife or fish, express your questions and concerns at the meeting. For more information about the committee, bill and public meeting, you can visit https://leg2.vermont.gov/sites/legislature/LSP/default.aspx.
Dont just rely on the Legislature; speak up.

Navy Seaman Apprentice John Martinez, right, was welcomed home Friday by family and friends to spend the holidays. (Freedom Newspapers: Marlena Hartz)
By Marlena Hartz: CNJ staff writer
A Clovis family gave their hero the homecoming of a king Friday.
Eighteen people spread across a corner by the Greyhound bus station in Clovis, sang carols and waved neon signs that read "Welcome Home."
An hour passed as they waited for the bus that carried John Martinez from his novel Navy career to his home.
Cousins, sisters, brothers and friends rushed to the doors of the bus and lined up to hug Martinez, 19.
Martinez joined the Navy 21 weeks ago, leaving Clovis for boot camp at Fort Lee, Va., and settling at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls, Texas.
He returned to Clovis Friday to spend two weeks with family and friends.
"I want him to know we are proud of him," said 16-year-old Amber Bayless, a friend of Martinez's who orchestrated the homecoming.
"He's doing awesome. He went from not knowing if he was going to graduate (from high school) to the Navy," she said.
Martinez was the second person to step from the Greyhound bus, swathed in a Navy coat and a beanie.
"My little boy's grown up into a man," said his adopted mother, Christina Snell.
An ear-to-ear grin glued on his face, Martinez said the entourage that enveloped him was unexpected.
"I missed everyone so much," Martinez said. "Words can't express it."
In the Navy, Martinez is an E-2 employed in a construction battalion.
The rank is reserved for enlisted service members in training status or on their initial assignment, according to a military Web site. The pay for E-2s, or seaman apprentices, is the lowest in the military branch, the Web site reads.
No matter — Friday, Martinez was a king.
