The June meeting of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce had some interesting items to report.
Chamber co-President Richard Strautman welcomed six new members: The Breakfast Room and Vasi Ypsilantis, a kitchen and bath interior design business at 3 Manorhaven Blvd.; The Mailroom Plus and Kishore Hemrajani, a retail printing and shipping store at 44 Main St.; Mason & Mia Cosmetics and Elizabeth Forero, a cosmetics and skincare home-based business at 93 Greywood Rd.; Omnimusic and Doug Wood, a music publishing business at 52 Main St.; Steven T. Smith, Architect, AIA, located at 3 Washington Place; and VillageX and Ridney Stanford, an internet development business at 2-8 Haven Ave.
Strautman thanked all the volunteers who helped to hand out flags at the Memorial Day Parade: Kevin Bernal, Evan Cohen, Debbie Greco, Marilyn Howland, Joan Hutchinson, MaryAnn Luczak, Joy Maniscalco, George and Pia Martin, Stretch Ryder, Warren Schein, Mitch Schwartz and Edna Turner.
Turner said the annual Kayak Run will take place on Saturday, July 22. It was begun as a fund-raiser for the Community Chest. Anyone 10 years and older can participate, with younger children accompanied by an adult. The race starts at 9 a.m. but it is not timed. Anyone who wants to participate should rent the kayaks now as there may not be enough available if you wait. There are sign-up forms on the front table. The kayak club meets the third Tuesday of the month. Anyone interested in sponsorship of the event should speak to Joel Ziev for details.
Joseph asked Ayhan Hassan about the construction at his Mediterranean Marketplace. Hassan said he is adding an enclosed deck to the back of the store where he will have tables and chairs. Swanwick added that it is his favorite lunch place and has a great view.
Joseph thanked the business community for their support of Landmark on Main Street's 2005-2006 season, which was very successful. She encouraged all businesses to take an ad in Applause, which is the program given out at each performance. Next year's schedule looks great. There will be a special HarborFest weekend performance by the Limelighters on June 2.
Margaret Minichini said the Amsterdam at Harborside has a model available for viewing and she invited everyone to their wine and cheese open house every Wednesday from 2 - 4 p.m.
Strautman said the new clubhouse at Harbor Links is a beautiful facility that has a restaurant and is available for private parties. Jerry Rudnick said the Kiwanis will have a golf outing at Harbor Links to benefit the Pediatric Trauma Unit at North Shore Hospital.
Alice Melzer asked about fireworks for the Fourth of July at Bar Beach. Pollack said the Bar Beach fireworks are only for Memorial Day. He added that the City of Glen Cove usually has fireworks for the Fourth.
Polay said that there will not be a meeting in August.

text: On August 18, 2007, at 0752 mountain daylight time, an Air Tractor AT-301, N69WN, operated by Rocky Mountain Ag, Inc., was substantially damaged during a forced landing near Alamosa, Colorado. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The aerial application flight was being conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 137 without a flight plan. The commercial pilot sustained minor injuries. The local flight departed Monte Vista Municipal Airport (MVI), approximately 0730.According to the owner of Rocky Mountain Ag, Inc., the airplane was carrying a load of MH-30, an anti-sprouting chemical, when the number one cylinder head separated. as a result, the windscreen was covered in oil, obscuring the pilot's view. The pilot dropped his chemical load and performed a forced landing on a dirt road. During the landing, the left wing impacted a sand berm and the airplane nosed over. The outboard three feet of the left wing was separated, the rudder and vertical stabilizer were crushed down, and the skid plate on the fuselage canopy separated and came aft into the cabin. Aside from the separation of the number one cylinder, the pilot reported no additional anomalies with the airplane's systems.The number one cylinder was sent to the National Transportation Safety Board's Materials Laboratory in Washington, D.C., for further examination. Examination of the fracture face revealed a rough grainy surface typical of overstress, with the exception of an area between the intake and exhaust ports. The area between the ports displayed a smoother surface that was oriented perpendicular to the cylinder wall, typical of fatigue cracking, and covered with a black deposit consistent with combustion products. Combustion products were also evident on the adjacent cooling fin surface and oriented radially outwards. Closer examination of the fracture face revealed that the fatigue cracking initiated from multiple locations in a root of the head threads and propagated in an arc to the outer surface of the combustion chamber wall. The fatigue zone contained shallow depressions consistent with the presence of porosity in the cylinder head material.According to the engine maintenance records, the number one cylinder, part number R 1340 (223), was overhauled on June 22, 2005, by Aircraft Cylinders of America, Inc. The last 100-hour inspection was performed on the engine on April 24, 2007. In addition, the number three cylinder was removed and replaced due to a "blown head" on July 18, 2007.Following this accident, Air Tractor revised their service letter #97 "Cockpit Overturn Skid Plate" to incorporate a "new wider clamp" and larger attaching bolts to "strengthen both the front and rear connections to the airplane frame structure."

To prevent children from becoming run-aways or victims of exploitation, the CPDC Team established a day care program for the children living in Pattaya's slums. The program provides recreational and remedial education activities taking place at the CPDC for children aged above 6 years. For the younger children the team will operate a mobile unit to work directly in the slums. The program's aim is to inform children about the risks of being abused, especially when living alone on the streets by means of videos, games, and other materials.
Among the offered activities at CPDC are;
- Tutoring for youths who have dropped out of school (or never attended school) in order to ensure literacy and life skill acquisition
- IT and English classes for children from the slums and also for children who stay at the CPDC permanently
- Sporting activities for children from the slums and from CPDC
- Extracurricular activities (vegetable farming, theatre, music)
- Counselling and medical care, especially for victims of abuse and for children in need of specialized care
- Life skills classes (self protection, prevention of drug abuse, etc)
We recognize education is fundamental to protect children and prevent exploitation in the future. Therefore we support children who have dropped out of school or are at risk of doing so with tutoring; mediation between students, teachers and parents; and alternative vocational training for youths, who for any reason cannot attend school any more. Besides a quality education for the children we also focus on teaching interpersonal and practical skills in order to enable them to attain viable jobs. Examples are: Training in agricultural and life-stock farming, mechanics or hospitality. Supporting underprivileged children and young adults in these ways helps to break the vicious cycle of poverty and vulnerability.

Another night of Battle Rounds on The Voice 2013 tonight and with only an hour of programming due to The Biggest Loser Season 15 premiere, so same amount of battles as last night on The Voice USA Season 5, but half the time to get through them! So, who won the Battle Rounds on The Voice Season 5 tonight? Well, get the details below in our The Voice Season 5 spoilers!
For the night, here are the winners of all the battles on The Voice USA 2013 and their team:
- Matthew Schuler - Team Christina
- Kat Robichaud - Team CeeLo
- Cole Vosbury - Team CeeLo
- E.G. Daily - Team Blake
- Ashley DuBose - Team Adam
- Ray Boudreaux - Team Blake
The losing singers for the night and have been eliminated on The Voice Season 5 tonight are:
- Jacob Poole – Team Christina
- R. Anthony - Team CeeLo
- Lupe Carroll - Team CeeLo
- Sam Cerniglia - Team Blake
- Justin Blake - Team Adam
And there was one steal on the night, as Ray Boudreaux beat Monika Leigh in their battle for Team Blake, but CeeLo Green could not let her get away and he stole her away and she will represent Team CeeLo for the Knockout Rounds!
With these battles, I was not happy they moved quickly through and never showed the battle for Ashley DuBose. Adam Levine paired her against country artists Justin Blake and I think she probably manhandled him, which is why they never showed it! She is one of his strongest singers and an early favorite to win it all, so I was shocked not to see her tonight on The Voice 2013!
So, what do you think of the choices the coaches made tonight on The Voice Season 5?

Found November 14, 2012 on Fox Sports:
Roush Fenway Racing will have a new look in 2013. Sources tell FOXSports.com that veteran crew chief Jimmy Fennig will move to the No. 99 team with driver Carl Edwards. Fennig replaces Chad Norris, who filled in after Bob Osborne stepped down in July due to health concerns. Norris is expected to oversee the No. 60 Nationwide Series team. Fennig most recently guided 2003 Sprint Cup champion Matt Kenseth to his eighth Chase for the Championship berth and his second Daytona 500 victory. Kenseth is currently sixth in the point standings and has posted three wins this season despite his lame duck status. After losing the 2011 Sprint Cup title in a tiebreaker, Edwards has struggled this season to regain his swagger. Although he signed a stout contract with Roush Fenway Racing last year, Edwards is currently 15th in the point standings and hasn't won a race since the 2011 Las Vegas event - 68 races ago. Scott Graves, who has been working as Edwards' team engineer, will take the reins for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s rookie campaign. Stenhouse, the defending Nationwide Series champion, currently holds a 20-point lead over Elliott Sadler with the season finale this weekend a Homestead Miami Speedway.

TVA leads in problem plants
The Tennessee Valley Authority has five operating nuclear reactors under heightened regulatory oversight — the most of any U.S. utility, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported this week in its latest action matrix summary.
Of the 103 U.S. reactors, 24 are under some type of additional NRC oversight. TVA's Browns Ferry Unit 2, Watts Bar Unit 1 and both of TVA's Sequoyah units are in the degraded cornerstone column by the NRC. Unit 1 of Browns Ferry is designated as the only unit in the country in the NRC's multiple repetitive degraded cornerstone column. TVA miscalculated the flood risk of most of its nuclear plants on the Tennessee River and has suffered from human errors and equipment problems in key safety systems.

text: I love cubebs. I first bought them in a spice shop in the mid 1970s just because i had no idea what they were. Yeah, i do that, buy mysterious ingredients, then find out what they are. Cubebs look like black peppercorns but a bit larger and with a fine stem (tail). They have a peppery scent with a hint of citrus and resin. In my experience they are not as hot as regular peppers, but are more aromatic (plus i don't have the reaction to them i have to pepper skins.... which is why i tend to use white pepper). For more info: http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Pipe_cub.html I buy a lot of spices at Lhasa Karnak, in Berkeley, which is generally reliable. But a few years ago there was a problem with cubebs (i forget which, a disease or insect infestation). Since then LK has been selling as cubebs something that definitely is not cubeb. They are tinier than cubebs, have no tail, and pretty much no flavor. The wrinkled black skin slips off easily revealing a red-brown smoothing skinned sphere. Does anyone know where to get REAL cubebs? (not a random link on the internet that i could find myself, or ''i think so and so sells them''. I want to know i'm getting the real thing rather than i buying more of something that isn't cubeb.) Or are they still unavailable in the US? With hope and thanks in advance, -- Urtatim [that's err-tah-TEEM] the persona formerly known as Anahita

The Effects of Hearing Loss
Most adult hearing loss develops over the course of many years. And its gradual onset can make its effects difficult to notice.

Jesse Jackson Jr., wife plead guilty to campaign-funds abuse
- Written by Carol Cratty and Tom Cohen/CNN
- Published in News
WASHINGTON – With moist eyes and soft voices, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife pleaded guilty to federal charges on Wednesday related to years of using campaign funds for personal expenses that included purchases of Michael Jackson memorabilia and a Rolex watch.
"Guilty, your honor," Jackson responded to U.S. District Judge Robert Wilkins while dabbing his eyes with a handkerchief after he looked back at family members in the courtroom, including his father, civil rights icon the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
"I used monies that should have been used for campaign purposes," Jackson, 47, acknowledged to the judge. When Wilkins asked if Jackson realized that the guilty plea meant giving up the right to a trial, he responded: "I have no interest in wasting the taxpayers' time or money."
Wilkins set sentencing for June 28, when Jackson could face up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
At a separate hearing later on Wednesday, former Chicago Alderman Sandra Stevens Jackson, 49, also pleaded guilty in a quavering voice to one count of filing false tax returns in connection with the misuse of her husband's campaign funds. The charge involved a failure to declare more than $600,000 in income from 2005 to 2011. The total came from campaign funds.
She wept openly after returning to the defense table. Wilkins set her sentencing for July 1, when she could receive up to three years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine.
Wednesday's hearings completed the fall of the once politically powerful Chicago couple. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Democrat, won re-election to Congress last year despite personal problems, including a mood disorder that caused him to drop out of sight for months during the campaign.
That coincided with the investigation of campaign fund irregularities dating back several years.
Jackson resigned a few weeks after the election, while his wife resigned her position as alderman in January.
Prosecutors said the former congressman betrayed the public trust.
"The guilty plea today is so tragic because it represents such wasted potential. Jesse Jackson Jr. had the ability and the talent to be the voice of a new generation, but he squandered that talent. He exchanged that instead to satisfy his personal whims and extravagant lifestyle," U.S. Atty. Ronald C. Machen Jr. said at a news conference.
As he left the courthouse following his wife's hearing, Jackson said to reporters: "I'm sorry I let everybody down."
At his morning hearing, the former legislator responded to standard legal questions about his soundness of mind by acknowledging his treatment by a psychiatrist.
The treatment was not for alcohol or drug abuse, Jackson said, adding that he had a beer on Tuesday night but "I have never been more clear in my life than I am now."
"I fully understand the consequences of my actions," he said.
His wife's lawyer later told reporters that her decision to plead guilty was influenced in part by her husband's "mental and health issues."
The plea showed that Sandra Jackson admits "she'd made some mistakes in judgment regarding expenditures in campaign contributions," said the lawyer, Dan Webb.
"She saw this as a chance to accept full responsibility for the conduct she engaged in," he added.
Jesse Jackson Jr. pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud and false statements.
Wilkins noted that prosecutors and defense attorneys said sentencing guidelines indicated an appropriate term of 46 to 57 months in prison and a fine of between $10,000 and $100,000.
However, Wilkins said he was not bound by sentencing guidelines, telling Jackson: "The bottom line is, I don't know what sentence you're going to get and you don't know what sentence you're going to get."
Jackson's lawyer, Reid Weingarten, told reporters after the hearing that he would mount a strong legal case for a fair sentence, noting his client is the father of two young children and has the health problems mentioned in court.
"It turns out that Jesse has serious health issues," Weingarten said. "... We are going to talk about them extensively with the court and those health issues are directly related to his present predicament. That is not an excuse. That is just a fact. And Jesse has turned a corner there as well."
Last week, prosecutors filed charges against the couple in separate criminal documents used when parties strike plea agreements.
The documents say the former congressman misused about $750,000 in campaign funds from August 2005 through approximately July 2012.
According to court documents, Jackson's campaign credit cards were used for $582,772 in personal expenditures. Jackson's purchases included a gold-plated men's Rolex watch costing more than $43,000 and almost $10,000 in children's furniture.
As part of the plea agreement, Jackson will have to forfeit the $750,000 in improperly used funds and assorted memorabilia that prosecutors said he bought with campaign cash.
The items include two hats belonging to the late singer Michael Jackson costing more than $8,000; a $5,000 football signed by U.S. presidents; and memorabilia involving the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and martial artist Bruce Lee.
Other expenses incurred using the campaign credit card were a five-day stay at Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat in 2008 for $5,687.75, and a $4,272.78 charge in 2006 for on-board cruise expenses to Navigator of the Sea, according to court documents.
Jackson issued a statement through his attorneys on Friday that said, in part: "I offer no excuses for my conduct and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made."
Jackson's wife is not mentioned by name in the document outlining misuse of campaign funds.
But there are references to her as "Co-Conspirator 1," a former consultant and later the manager of Jackson's re-election campaign. According to the court documents, "Co-Conspirator 1" bought $5,150 worth of fur capes and parkas and had them shipped from Beverly Hills, Calif., to Washington.
Jesse Jackson Jr. had represented 2nd Congressional District in Illinois since 1995. His name came up during the investigation of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, linked to allegations that Blagojevich attempted to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama when he became president.
No charges were filed against Jackson, but the House Ethics Committee decided to look into whether Jackson or an associate offered to raise a large amount of money for Blagojevich in exchange for Jackson getting the Senate seat.
Jackson dropped out of sight last spring and his office later said he was being treated at the Mayo Clinic for a mood disorder, depression and gastrointestinal problems. He was re-elected in November but resigned a few weeks later.
His father recently said his son was "taking his medication and handling his challenges." The elder Jackson had no comment after Wednesday's hearings, telling reporters, "not today."

Weather Averages for Sousse in April
Averages for Sousse in April
April is perhaps the first month where visitors to Sousse, Tunisia can start to think about removing their jacket and enjoy some warmth, with the average high temperature reaching 20°C. The average low increases to 12°C, and the sea temperature also increases by one degree to 16°C. However, April is also a wet month and sees a 10mm increase from March, with 32mm over six days. This is compounded by extra sunshine though, with eight hours per day. April is one of the more humid months of the year at 71%.
With the weather picking up but not quite warm enough to lie on the beach for endless hours, April is a good month to try your hand at some of the activities on offer in Sousse. Port El Kantaoui has a 36-hole golf course, and there is also the option of camel riding while in Tunisia. Alternatively you could explore the Dar Essid, which shows a historical glimpse into the living quarters of upper-class people in Tunisia. The Dar Essid is a house that now operates as a museum and showcases decorations in a mixture of styles. In the past, the house was home to a 19th century official, his two wives, and their families. One of the most interesting items on show is the Roman oil lamp, which stands on the table beside the first wife's bed. Legend has it that the lamp was lit every time the couple had sex, and the intimacy would last as long as the lamp was burning, so that the husband could spend equal time with each of his wives. Visitors can also go to the top of the house, which is now a café, and enjoy some of the splendid views of Sousse.
For a comfortable but affordable trip in April, consider Chams El Hana. Located in the centre of town, the hotel provides guests with an outpoor pool and sauna, as well as a fitness centre, beauty salon and tennis courts.

Old Time Radio Testimonials
Post a message...
I don't know if anyone has ordered more cd's than I have,but I am still trying.I have been ordering for a number of years and have never been disappointed. The price,quality and selection is not equalled anywhere that I have found. The most amazing thing about your site is that, even though you have the the best and most selections, you do not rest on your laurels. I think as much as I look forward to your daily episodes, I also am excited to see if you have anything new. Keep it up. I can easily say that your site has given me as much bang for my buck as anything I have ever put out time or money for. Thank you very much.
Jon Willerton (Toronto Canada), February 3, 2006
I've always enjoyed listening to old time radio. This particular site is wonderful. It provides an opportunity to listen to a show without buying.

Dixie January 25, 2006
I was amazed to be able to get the early Jack Webb shows (particularly "Johnny Madero" from you after all these years. Terrific. Would it be possible for you to locate a pre-WWII late Sunday afernoon NBC show called "The Circle" which had a talk format starring Basil Rathbone, Madelaine Carroll, Groucho Marx, and another person whose name I forget? Great enterainment and slightly more highbrow than most of the other stuff on radio in those days.
Lew Moore January 23, 2006
You are one of the very few places where I get better than I expected!What more can I say than "Keep up the good work". If you could locate some of the Metropolitan Opera Saturday broadcasts I would be eternally grateful.
Daniel Ochs (MD), January 22, 2006
Hi,You guys are really great! I don't know your source but you have programs that I have heard about that no one else has!I am quite young, but OTR was a very important part of my growing up. I was only five, but I remember the last shows of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, and Suspense! After that some of the stations played reruns. That faded away until KNX began airing shows every night... Other stations also aired OTR, such as KPCC and KOGO in San Diego.In 1979 I joined the US Army after I bombed out in college and dropped out. I did Basic Training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Someone snuck a radio in the barracks and we could hear OTR from KMOX in St. Louis. Most of the guys in my company really liked it.After this, I went to Music School in Virginia. There was a record store in Norfolk that had all kinds of OTR on LPs. I probably bought five or six records each payday. Then I went to Germany. I was stationed in Berlin and we got OTR every WEEKNIGHT there... not on weekends - it was pretty good. In the mess hall and other places where soldiers congregated you could hear quotes of the old shows peppering every conversation.The Whistler was everyone's favorite show. We knew the shows were from before many of us were born, but that didn't matter. It was all new to us.We often heard shows I never heard since that time, such as Arch Oboler's Plays. My favorite episode was one called "Him or Me." I taped it but I lost it somewhere in one of my moves.Well, I left the Army, finally graduated from college and also earned a Master's degree. Then I tood a job in Indonesia. I began buying many of the shows I would have recorded, had I been home in Southern California, listening to KNX or KPCC.
Bill Long January 21, 2006
Jon, You are truly a godsend! When I first became interested in OTR several years ago, yours was one of the first sites I ordered from. Now, after several orders over the years, I can say without reservation that yours is the best. I feel you are a friend, as you have always treated me as such. I hope that you continue to find new shows and grow; you have a lifelong customer with me. Thank you!!
Daniel A. (Tacoma, Wash.), January 19, 2006
When I was in sixth grade (many years ago!), our teacher would read us stories. There was one in particular that was indelibly etched in my mind, and that was "Leiningen vs. the Ants."Much to my surprise, I found it here on your website, and quickly ordered some disks!I must say, that with great trepidation, I opened the package and played the CD... I was immediately transformed back to my childhood days, and sat on the edge of my seat, listening intently!That was an experience I won't soon forget, and I wish to give you my heartfelt thanks for transporting me to a time and place of joy and wonder!
DSL-Dave January 19, 2006
I can't thank you enough for the excellant service of old radio shows you provide. Many of which are not offered elsewhere.Your service is highly recommended. What an outstanding tribute to the radio show era!! A truely satisfied customer indeed!
Terry Sharnnghouse January 18, 2006
Living on a fixed income and enjoying listening to old time radio, I really appreciate the service and low cost that you provide through your site. Listening to the orders I received from you reminds me of listening to the old radio programs on the General Electric upright radio that I enjoyed with my parents and grandparents... Again, Thanks for a great service and site!!!
Rodney Travis January 18, 2006
Ever since stumbling on your site a month ago I have been completely hooked. I just can't believe how much I am learning about history and old radio. I listen to your free shows every day while I'm at work and I'm transported to another world, another time. I am also a WWII buff and your huge selection of shows from that time is simply amazing. I feel like I've struck gold. I ordered a few of the cds and I can't wait for them to arrive. I am 32-years-old and I have a lot of catching up and learning to do! I've also been having excellent conversations with my dad about the shows he used to listen to when he was a teenager in the early 50's. It's fascinating! I can't thank you enough for your incredible and valuable site. I just love it.
Liz January 18, 2006
Thanks for the excellent service you are providing. Despite having ordered hundreds of disks already, I still find that there are more that I want. Really appreciate the fact that you are constantly trying to increase the number of episodes and the number of shows. My collection has grown beyond even my wildest dream. I was a kid during the second half of the 40s and heard many of these shows with my grandpa on an old battery radio (in our part of North Carolina, we didn't get electricity until about 1949. I remember many of the shows from the Armed Forces Network when I served with the Army in Germany from 1958-1961. "Thanks for the memories" to steal a phrase from the greatest.
Jim Holbrook January 18, 2006
A little over two years ago I ordered 40 disc with a variety of shows. As of this time I still have not been able to listen to all the shows. Thanks for all the many enjoyable hours this has given me. I hope to expand my collection sometime this year so keep them coming.

If years of being force-fed Elizabethan English in the classroom has given you Shakespeare nightmares, where men in tights attack your grades with swords made of discarded SparkNotes, please allow John Manzelli to change your mind. Trained in classical deconstruction of theater (meaning I take old plays and make them interesting, he says), the director will present a version of The Tempest at New Theatre that does away with all the stuffy outfits and melancholy settings. The play is the story of a usurped duke, his daughter, his shipwrecked enemy, and the entangled revenge and love that ensue. Manzelli re-imagines the great bards play through the lens of postcolonial theory, so his Tempestwill be set on a South Pacific island and accompanied by modern visuals, sound, dance, and a cast of men wearing pants that allow for adequate breathing room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality and Styling, Protects Paperwhite Well from Drops,
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
This is a very nice and lightweight cover that goes above and beyond what previous versions of Amazon-branded e-Ink Kindle covers have done: it is super-compact, lightweight, and holds the Paperwhite about as snug and secure as you can imagine - they have made this cover so that the Kindle fits into a recessed pocket in the cover for a snug fit that you won't have any fear of falling out (like the Kindle 1), the hinge wearing out over time and your Kindle dangling or falling out (like the Kindle 3 / Kindle Keyboard), or some type of fabric wearing out from use (like the Kindle Fire and the Kindle DX).
What is really neat is there is a sensor in the Paperwhite and the cover that allow the Kindle to know when the cover is closed and automatically puts it into sleep mode to conserve battery power - upon opening the flap to read, the Paperwhite automatically wakes up. I'll bet some of you have tried cocking your head at an angle and put your eye up to it to see when the Kindle hits sleep mode and / or wakes up as you close and open the cover (I did!).
I have used this for a little over a week now and it has been able to withstand the rigors of back and forth in my briefcase, numerous sessions of starting and stopping reading, and, unfortunately dropping it on its side twice - and it protected the Kindle like a champ.
It feels good in your hands and compliments the reading experience with your new Paperwhite. The outer cover is a basic leather that feels good and you can get it in a variety of styles - I got the regular black as my other Kindle readers have different colors and I wanted to be able to recognize it quickly from across the room as "mine" vs. another family members' Kindle.
Please note this holder only fits the Kindle Paperwhite and does not fit any other e-Ink Kindle as the dimensions are different.
As I type this review, the price of this cover in black is $39.99 which is a pretty good deal when you compare it to the pricing of the covers for other models of Kindle. I would highly recommend this one in the color of your choosing - you want to protect your investment, and my two drops already in one week show this was a good protection of that investment.
November 8, 2013 Update: I've been using this for over a year now and it is still holding up, and protecting my Paperwhite despite numerous airports, back and forth in my man bag, and several drops onto concrete.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protect your Paperwhite in style,
A. Dent "Aragorn" (Minas Anor, GD) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
I am not an Amazon promoter - my Kindle Fire review was a 3 stars - but I've always preferred Amazon's official Kindle covers to 'third parties' when it came to Kindle readers because of their hard to match quality and the way they integrated with the Kindle they were tasked to cover and protect.
This Paperwhite cover is no exception. It's not as technologically sophisticated as the cover for the Kindle 3 (Keyboard) which seamlessly incorporated a pull-out reading light within the cover's body while drawing power from the Kindle itself but the quality is exquisite and it almost literally fits the Paperwhite like a glove.
There's not a lot to say about a 'cover' but here are some of its more notable features, starting with the positives.
- Magnet keeps it closed.
- Some built-in sensor will turn the Kindle on whenever you open the cover (neat).
- Textured surface guarantees a good grip when holding it.
- Flip cover design allows front cover to fold back for one-hand reading (nice).
- Light as a feather. Yes, it does add a little weight to the Paperwhite but only a little.
- With the cover on, the Kindle is significantly smaller, thinner than a paperback and lighter than most.
- Some of the better quality leather I've seen in a 'cover'.
And then, of course, it's the price - not exactly pocket change. Amazon's Kindle covers tend to be expensive but I always felt that it was money well spent for the protection, the added functionality and the stylish design.
And, one more thing. Once your Paperwhite sinks into its cover the two become practically one body which is what this design was intended to accomplish. It is certainly possible to separate them again but it's not quick or easy. This design fits my Kindle-using habits - I never removed the covers off the other Kindles except once on 'day one' just to see that it is possible to do so. If you believe that you are going to take your Kindle in and out of its cover than you should not consider this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars An improvement from the Kindle Touch cover,
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
In the past, I have always gone with Amazon covers solely for the reason that I need the built in lights, and lighting options from other companies are terrible. With the Paperwhite's new built-in lighting technology, I'm no longer forced to use Amazon and can finally evaluate their covers solely for design and functionality.
The cover design is very similar to the Amazon Kindle Touch Leather Cover. It is a very tight fit, and can take some getting used to to learn how to remove your kindle from it. Although I originally didn't like the Kindle Touch cover because it was such a tight fit, this shouldn't be a problem if you plan to leave your Paperwhite in the cover all the time. It has an area cut out at the bottom for the power button and ac port. The front of the cover is leather, but this time it has a cross-cut textured pattern in it. It looks fairly stylish, and this is an improvement over the Touch cover, which showed scratches and pits in the leather very easily. All of the covers appear to be fairly true to Amazon's images (I have not seen the saddle tan version yet), although the actual Ink Blue cover is a little bit lighter and more distinguishable as blue than what you see in the image. There is a soft felt back on the front of the cover to shield the display when closed.
The Paperwhite pops in to the rubberized back of the case, which hugs it fairly tightly, so there's no chance of it slipping out. Amazon has added a magnetic clasp to the side to keep the cover closed. This was missing on the Touch cover, but I never really found it to be much of an issue with the cover staying closed. The magnet in the clasp is not very strong at all, but it does seem to do the job. It takes almost no force to open it though. The best part about the clasp, is that opening the cover will turn on the Paperwhite, and closing it will put it to sleep, so you never need to use the physical power button at all. If you are left-handed, the cover actually makes it easier to hold the Kindle since you can open it like a book and use the front cover to support it.
- Opening/closing the cover turns on/off the paperwhite without having to use the power button.
- Completely protects the Paperwhite. I can't see any real way for it to get damaged when it is on.
- Makes holding the Paperwhite a bit easier.
- Adds color and makes your Paperwhite a bit more stylish.
- Expensive versus value
- Very tight fit which can make it difficult to remove.
- Adds weight and bulk to the Paperwhite and makes it less "pocketable."
Although I purchased a cover for my Paperwhite to try it out, I don't really like how much bigger the covers make my Kindle. The size difference is fairly small, but that little difference changes the Paperwhite from something I can easily fit in my pocket, to something I can "somewhat" easily fit in my pocket. I also don't like that it covers over the rubberized back of the Paperwhite and effectively makes it a little more difficult to grip, since your hand is holding the felt back which has less friction. But mainly, I just don't like the added size. I think the Paperwhite is almost the perfect form factor on its own and the cover takes away a little bit of that. If you are pretty rough with your electronics or you travel a lot with your Kindle, it may be a nice option, but if you're like me and leave yours on the nightstand a lot, I would recommend holding off on purchasing a cover until after you've spent some time with the Paperwhite on its own and can decide if you really need one. Unless you have the Paperwhite 3G, the price of these devices has gotten so low that the cost of the cover and its intended function should be measured against the cost of the device it is protecting. But it's a very nicely-designed cover and it will keep your Paperwhite in mint condition if that is your main goal.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not comfortable to hold. Hard to take Paperwhite out.,
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
I bought this and the Marware Eco-Vue cover. I liked the Marware cover a lot better for the following reasons.
1) This cover isn't as comfortable to hold. The Marware has leather on the inside cover, but this one has something synthetic that's not that comfortable (even made my hand sweat).
2) Because it wasn't as comfortable to hold I wanted to take the Paperwhite out when I was at home. This was difficult to do and I always felt like I was going to damage the Paperwhite.
3) The "hand strap" on the Marware was surprisingly really nice. I use it almost all the time.
4) I like the elastic strap that holds the Marware open/close better than the magnet on this case. The elastic strap does a better job holding the cover open.
5) The leather on the Marware feels more like premium leather.
What I did like about this case:
1) It's as compact as it could possibly get.
2) Turning it on/off with the magnet is great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware with "Special Offers",
Christian Stella "author" (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
First off, the case is great. I doubt there will be a better fitting case on the market.
However, since Amazon is very focused on selling Kindles with Special Offers now, be warned that Amazon's description of this case's ability to automatically wake the Kindle when you open it to jump back into reading is not true if you have a Special Offer Kindle. You must still swipe across an ad to get into the device.
Once I paid the $20 fee to remove the ads from my Kindle, I could finally enjoy this case as it should be enjoyed.
Amazon should update this page to better clarify that their biggest selling point of their case design doesn't work with all Kindle Paperwhites, as I'm sure many people reading this will have the ad-supported model.

5.0 out of 5 stars You should get this cover with the Kindle PW,
D. Olson (Concord, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
I have bought and made cases for my Kindle Keyboard and my iPad. I have spent a lot of money on some iPad cases (Piel Frama leather cases which are very nice!) I am picky on what a case should be and how it should work with a device. I almost didn't buy the Amazon Kindle PW Leather Cover. But the reviews mentioned how it worked like Apple's iPad cover with built in magnets that would turn on and off the Kindle. I thought it sounded nice enough to go ahead and try it. I am glad I did. And I don't think I will need another case for my Kindle than this one. The leather is adequate quality. The leather has a pattern impressed on it. It feels nice, like reading a leather Bible. The Kindle fits snuggly in a plastic tray which is shaped like the back of the Kindle PW. There is no latch or band to hold the case closed or any bands over the front of the Kindle keeping it in place. The case is nice looking; it feels nice; it makes holding the Kindle more like a small paperback book. And the automatic off when the cover closes and automatic on to the lock screen when the cover is opened is a pleasant feature. The soft inside cover will help protect the screen from scratches. The case is not padded as some cases, so it adds very little thickness to the Kindle. It appears that it is well made and will be durable. I bought the Onyx Black Leather case -- it looks real classy.
In the short time I have been using my new Kindle, I can tell that I like the new Kindle PW but I want to use it for a while before I will consider doing a review of it. But I was so impressed by this case, I thought I should write this review right away. Perhaps you are on the fence, deciding whether or not to order the case with your Kindle. I wanted this review out there for your consideration; I want to urge you to go ahead and get the case. I am really glad I did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazon/CafePress Custom Kindle covers,
This review is from: Kindle Paperwhite Black Textured Leather Cover -'Create Your Own' (Accessory)
EDIT: I've nudged this up from three stars to four. CafePress approached me with a standard "did you receive" email about ten days after the case had arrived, and I sent them product feedback based on both my experience and that of others who had begun to post here & elsewhere. I did not request an exchange as I had no time to deal with returns and the case was good enough even if it wasn't exactly as ordered; I was dealing with a hospitalized family member and replacement wasn't exactly a priority. Out of the blue, a package arrived from them with a new case that now matched what was seen in Amazon's previewer at the time of my order. Obviously, they can't change the texture of the leather (that's on Amazon to do), but everything that was in their control to fix, they did. So five stars to CafePress for excellent printing and customer service; four to the product itself, which simply doesn't lend itself to use with certain images.
Also, a note on durability: I used the first case daily (printed on both sides) for over six weeks and while I didn't abuse it, I also did not put any real effort into babying it; it still looks as new as the day it arrived, with no scratches or scuffs to the printing. At this point, I'm confident that with reasonable care, the printing on the case will last as long as the device itself, unless you do something like tossing it in to the same purse pocket as your keys.
Original review:
I was quite excited to see these create your own Kindle cases for the Fire & Paperwhite models. The reality doesn't quite live up to the hype.
I don't know about the Fire cases--the only one I've seen seemed fairly smooth--but the current Paperwhite case has a very heavy, almost diamond-patterned texture to the leather. The printing, surprisingly, does show on it, even in the deeper crevices of the leather. Given that they were dealing with some very fine lines in the image I used, I'm impressed that the print shows no breaks or gaps from the texture.
That said, the texture will detract from almost anything other than an abstract image, in my opinion. Put a photo of a person on there, and they'll look like they have a skin disease. So your choice of image is going to be critical to whether or not you enjoy the final result, at least specifically on this case. (Another reviewer has compared it to the texture one gets from a printed canvas; this is not correct in my opinion. I have the same image professionally printed on a wrapped canvas, and it has very little texture at all. This leather has a very pebbled texture. Additionally, you rarely view a canvas up close the way you will view this case.)
Next problem: Amazon's previewer, showing you how the image will look on the case, is wrong. I specifically resized the image first to the dimensions they provided--that caused the previewer to crop off at least an inch of image on both top and bottom, and left large gaps to the right and left. I then resized the image again until it fit perfectly according to their viewer, just inside the stitching.
Not so on the printed case. There's about half an inch unprinted all around the image. Add in that I specified "Front only" printing, but they printed both front and back. So I'm not sure you can count on either Amazon's specified image size OR their previewer.
It also smells perfectly awful; very chemical-ly. I expect that will wear off eventually, but it's pretty bad right now.
There is a very very slight tacky/sticky feel where the printing is, but I likely wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been mentioned on Kindleboards and on the only review for any of these items that's been posted to Amazon so far.
I'm undecided at this point as to whether or not to pursue a return. It's not exactly what I expected, or even what I ordered, given that it was printed with a large border and both front and back. I really don't much like the texture. But it's the only game in town (for now at least) for this kind of customization.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice case for the money,
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Ink Blue (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
UPDATE 05-Oct-2012: I returned this case to Amazon because I wanted to exchange it for the black case, as the blue was distracting. Love the black case, and this is the permanent home for my PaperWhite.
Got this case overnighted for my new PaperWhite and it arrived the same day as the device. Instantly unwrapped it and installed it.
The case is solid - the PaperWhite, itself, is very solid-feeling all on its own, and probably will not require a case to keep it protected for those of us who are very careful with our electronics. For the other 95%, of which I'm a member, who have an occasional droppage or other malady happen to my devices, I like having the protection.
The case fits very snugly to the PaperWhite and allows room for the charging LED, MicroUSB connector, and power button, even when the case is closed. It fit so snugly that it almost folded in on itself. :) The plastic/rubber portion that holds the device has a welcome matte finish, not too slippery but also not going to snag on things or become a lint magnet.
I got the Ink Blue color, and the color is fine. I wanted something that wasn't plain black, like all the other cases out there.
Thankfully, no more light is needed in the cover, due to the PaperWhite's in-display lighting, so now the case has the added feature of magnetic closure, which also sleeps and wakes the PaperWhite. This is a fantastic feature, and it will likely ensure that I rarely touch the power button on the PaperWhite. However, it does not ensure the cover stays closed, like a flap or elastic band enclosure would. Which is really too bad.
Overall, this is probably one of the best covers you could hope for to protect your PaperWhite. It adds relatively zero size to the device and has the magnetic closure feature. It's easily far superior to the "standard" Amazon case for the Kindle Touch, which has a cheap, flimsy cover with no means of closure at all.
My only two negatives are the lack of a better means of keeping the cover closed and the price. I honestly love 95% of what Amazon does. This is part of the 5% I don't. How can a company justify a cover that costs a third (or roughly a fourth, depending on the model) of what the device costs? $40 for a magnet and some cushioning? Seriously, this case should be $20, tops, but the fact of the matter is that this is probably the best case I've seen as an option, so Amazon knows most people will spend the money. Oh well, I figure I get the $20 difference back in Prime anyways, and besides, at least $40 is cheaper than the outrageous $60 for the Kindle Keyboard lighted case!
Definitely recommend this case, even though it costs quite a bit for what you get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect case for the Kindpe Paperwhite,
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
Going from the Kindle Keyboard to the Paperwhite, my main concern was the case. I had ordered the leather Amazon case to go with my old Kindle, and it was amazing to me. So, Amazon had a tall order: impress me with the new leather cover.
Fortunately for Amazon, this new leather cover is awesome. They've taken a play out of Apple's playbook and it functions like the iPad smart cover: When you close the case, the Kindle goes to sleep. That's awesome. The Paperwhite also fits quite snug in the case, so despite not being clamped down or held down with straps, you don't have to worry about it coming loose.
The quality of the leather feels quite nice, just like my old Kindle Keyboard cover. It gives the Kindle not only protection but it makes you feel like you do have a hardback book in your hand. .
If you're looking for a first rate cover for your Paperwhite, you can't go wrong with the official Amazon cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darn near perfect case for the Paperwhite.,
This review is from: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Onyx Black (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch) (Accessory)
This review will be (mostly) short, since most of the points have been covered very well by others.
What I will say is that I'm a previous Kindle Keyboard and Kindle Touch owner, and used the Amazon-manufactured lighted cases for both devices. Granted, those cases had to be larger and bulkier due to the built-in lighting solutions, but so far the overall quality of the case itself is higher than I expected. The new case is very form-fitting, adding minimal bulk to the already slim Paperwhite. The magnetic clasp works well, though the attraction is fairly weak and won't do much to secure the cover in a high-impact situation...but after a few drop tests on my mattress (like I'm going to drop this on the floor? Please.) the latch has completely failed to open. Not bad for casual use.
The Paperwhite fits very well inside the case, with wiggle room being nearly non-existent. You can remove the device with minimal difficulty, though this is not a case that's designed to have the Paperwhite removed constantly. Once the reader is in the case, that's where it should be. If you're looking for something you can casually pop the Paperwhite out of on a regular basis, you may want to consider another case or just a pouch to pop it in.
A note to those who have a problem with how the Paperwhite wakes up when this case opens: From what I understand, if you have the non-Special Offers version, it will wake up (assuming you have no lock enabled) right where you left off when it went to sleep. If, however, you have the Special Offers model like I do, it will leave the ad on the screen, inviting you to swipe to use the Kindle. This is by design. It might seem cumbersome or annoying, but hey...you saved the twenty bucks, and Amazon isn't going to let you skip the ads! So if this is a dealbreaker for you, either a) Buy the version without Special Offers or b) pony up the $20 post-purchase and get the ads removed from your device.
Oh, and for the record, I bought the Saddle Tan version. Originally wanted the Ink Blue, but sadly it was out of stock till the 25th of October. This color is very nice, a pleasant tan color. I've had nothing but black Kindle cases in the past, and the variance in color is a nice change of pace.
So, yeah. Good case, buy one unless one of the things I mentioned previously is a dealbreaker for you. Enjoy!

This costume is very, very cute. We ordered a size up for my teen daughter and it fit very well. The hat stays on surprisingly well without any pins. It is just very very little costume for the money. But super cute.
