The action is rapid and varied – featuring parkour-style wall running, massive double jumps and the ability to hijack titans. The freedom to shift back and forth between pilot and titan allows players to change tactics on the fly, attacking or escaping depending on the situation and extending the action vertically to new heights.

I'm going to talk in depth about what you get in this bundle and about the console, if you want a simple and quick opinion then skip down to the PROS/CONS and then the VERDICT towards the bottom!

This is a very well priced bundle. The new RRP for the Xbox One without kinect is £350 (as of June 2014). Yet here you are getting the digital version of Titanfall and the Kinect Sensor all for £20 extra. Naturally you will have to justify whether or not you need the Kinect sensor or not although i would suggest that it's worth it especially for the price this bundle is set at, at the very least you can put it away in a cupboard knowing that you have one should you want to use voice functionality, Skype or indeed for a game further down the road.

So what do you get in the box:

The Console
Kinect Sensor
1x wireless controller(batteries included)
4k rated HDMI cable
Power supply (external power brick)
Chat Headset
You also get a code for the digital version of Titanfall.

There are various ports on the console, on the back you get: Power, Gigabit Ethernet, 2xUSB 3.0, HDMI in (for connecting a sky box), HDMI out (to the TV), Optical Audio, Kinect Port and a Kensington Security lock. On the left hand side of the console you get another USB 3.0 port and a binding button for syncing a controller to the console although if you have Kinect plugged in that will happen automatically as it detects any controllers turned on in the room. On the front things have been kept as simple as possible with a slot loading bluray drive, a touch capacitive eject button and the Xbox logo which illuminates also doubles as an on/off button.

Since I was first given my original xbox back in 2003, I have only ever owned xbox consoles. They're familiar, easy to use and just all round great gaming consoles. When i heard all the negative things that were said about the Xbox One after E3 in 2013, i didn't want to purchase an xbox one. However when i saw the games that were going to be released this year and the year after, I thought i would give the xbox one a go and ordered the Titanfall bundle that comes with kinect.

I've had it for about 2 months now, and it has truly lived up to the standards i expect from Microsoft's Gaming consoles! Straight out the box it looks beautiful, the two tone, matte black and gloss finish just makes it look amazing and fits right into my living room. The setting up was easy, didn't even refer to any booklet.. Pretty straight forward stuff. Getting used to the console was even easier! The new User interface is seemingly perfect. It comes with 500Gb of storage built in, which has been plenty so far, downloaded and installed quite a few games and still have tonnes of room. The transition between games and apps is instant, due to the increased in processing power. This also makes gaming a fantastic experience! I have experienced absolutely no problems with the console so far.

Titanfall in itself is a really entertaining game. The lack of a singleplayer story mode is disappointing, and the online multiplayer campaign has a story, but you'll barely notice it. However the game makes up for this in it's excellent competitive multiplayer! The freerunning aspect, the beautifully designed maps and the giant mechinised combat makes for some fantastic gameplay, I've had hours and hours of fun on this Game.

Right, I've been an xbox 360 and ps3 owner for the last generation and although overall I preferred the 360, I came into this generation with an open mind.

After waiting over 2 months since the xbox one and ps4 launched, I've been doing my research!

I've played both consoles round a friends and both are impressive in their own ways, both perform really well and look stunning (despite some slower frame rates on some xbox one 3rd party titles which is barely distinguishable)

I decided in the end to get an xbox one for the following reasons;

- I prefer Xbox live and that's where most of my online friends reside (plus I have a large gamerscore I can carry over)
- I love the new kinect, the voice commands work really well 99% of the time and it really adds that feeling of the future in terms of walking into the lounge and saying "Xbox ON" and the xbox AND the tv both turn on together. Also being able to snap tv on the side of the screen while you wait for a game to install or download is genius
- the games so far are great, not perfect but great. It's a better game line up than the ps4 currently with forza 5 being the graphical standout. I personally prefer the xbox exclusives (although i do love uncharted and the last of us on play station) I'm really excited about the new Halo and gears of war.
- I've always preferred the xbox controller, and the xbox one pad is an improvement on the already brilliant 360 one. It'd nicer to hold, has a smaller battery compartment and the rumble motors in the triggers which add some really immersive moments while cornering on forza or firing a gun in Dead rising 3.
- yes it costs a little more than ps4 but the kinect is where that extra cost comes from and is well worth the extra money.

Product Description

Format: DVD

Running Time: 301 Min.

Rated: NR

One of Jim Henson's finest works is The Storyteller series, originally airing on HBO in 1987. As with his other non-Muppet creations (Labyrinth, and The Dark Crystal), Henson fills the screen with wonderful creatures that have a wisp of a J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy. This definitive collection of 13 stories--9 based on European fables, and 4 slightly grittier takes on Greek myths--deserves to be in TV's pantheon. The series was adapted by Anthony Minghella, who became an Oscar-winning filmmaker a decade later with The English Patient. Minghella weaves the narration of a storyteller with dialogue from the stories to beguiling effect; the storyteller doesn't simply introduce the tales. The storytelling duties are split with an engaging John Hurt, and a study Michael Gambon for the Greek fables. Both are accompanied by a Muppet dog performed by Henson's son and successor, Brian.

The European tales are wonderful especially since the stories are not well known. "The Luck Child" is a brilliant short about a king bent on destroying a commoner boy, known as the luck child ("the seventh son born of a seventh son on a week with two Fridays"), after a wizard declares the boy will grow up to be king. The fate of the king is one of those hooks that should have the kids smiling for days. "Sapsorrow" is a curious variation on the Cinderella legend. Henson himself directs "Death and the Soldier," a vivid example of how these episodes were so wonderfully complex. A penniless solider (Bob Peck) is given a magical sack and he uses it to full effect, capturing gremlins and greater evils on his way to be king. "A Story Short" is the storyteller's own adventure. He makes a deal with a king to tell a story every day of the year. Yet on the last day, the storyteller's mind is a blank and his fate may lead him to a boiling vat of oil.

By nature, the Greek myth episodes are a bit more mature (ages 8 and older) and downbeat, yet give the audience lasting impressions of oft-quoted tales. In "Perseus and the Gorgon," King Argos locks away his wife when it is foretold his future son will kill him. Soon mother and son (Perseus, fathered by none other than Zeus) are washed ashore and another angry king looks to take away Perseus's mother. How can Perseus win the day? By killing the evil Gorgon whose snake-covered head includes eyes that turn humans into statues. Derek Jacobi stars as the deft Greek designer in "Daedalus and Icarus." The father goes through many hardships, including the famous episode of his son flying too close to the sun. John Madden (Shakespeare in Love) directs the tale of "Theseus and the Minotaur." A young man reunites with his father, King Aegeus, but is cursed by his witch of a stepmother (literally). When Theseus tries to stop the regular sacrifice to the half-bull, half-man Minotaur, a new curse awaits the young prince. The magical musician Orpheus (Art Malik) finds his muse in "Orpheus and Eurydice." Unfortunately, she soon dies and goes to Hades where Orpheus follows, attempting to win her soul from the devil himself. Henson's work is true family entertainment and at only 22 minutes per episode, it's the perfect companion for some fine entertainment around the TV. --Doug Thomas

Format: DVD
PLEASE NOTE: This review is for the collection that includes both the Storyteller and Greek Myths episodes. It seems Amazon is lumping this review with other editions that do not include both. Please double check what you are getting before buying.

What you're essentially getting here is all nine episodes of The Storyteller series AND all four episodes from The Storyteller: Greek Myths on a two DVD set. Considering they stopped shipping the previous Storyteller and Greek Myths DVD's this will be what you will be seeing in stores. The good news is the MSRP on this collection is actually less than the release price of the original Storyteller collection and about the same price of the release of Greek Myths disk. You'll be getting the best deal ever offered with this collection.

If you don't currently have both collections I recommend getting this. Even if you have one of the two collections the price point makes it worthwhile (sell your old set and save even more). Obviously if you have neither DVD this is the perfect opportunity to pick up some of the best family entertainment out there.

I'm amazed that this series has gotten so little attention. This is Jim Henson and crew at their best, making fun of the lines between fantasy and reality, costume and puppetry, and new storytelling and old stories.

All of these short pieces were unfamiliar to me, at least in part. 'Sapsorrow' turned out to contain a story I knew, or thought I did. Part of the reason these fairy tales were unfamiliar was their authenticity. These stories were originally meant for adults. They had hard, dark edges, and were not the vapid Disneyfied versions that most people know.
Lots of kids will like these stories as much as adults do, but this may be too much for younger children. This isn't Sesame Street - it's one of the dark alleys off to the side.

The narrator is one of the unexpected treats on this disk. He opens and closes each short story, talking to his dog on a fire-lit night. The narration is a treat, too. It has a wonderful rolling cadence, too musical for regular speech but too prosaic to be a chant. It may give you some idea what the old epic poems must have sounded like in their original settings.

This is for anyone who likes fantasy, who likes a rich visual experience. You just have to see it for yourself - written words can't begin to give the experience you'll find in this collection.

I had only seen some of these when they first aired as part of "The Jim Henson Hour", but I was totally enchanted by them, and am thrilled to have them now in their entirety, to revel in and share with my own kids.

What I really like about them - besides the stories themselves, the wonderful set, costume, and puppet designs, the acting and so on - is that they resurrect the importance of *telling*. There is a love of language in Minghella's scripts ("a princess of sweetness and cherry pie", "he heard a song that sounded like hello and goodbye"), and in John Hurt's charming performance, that reminds us of the importance of the human voice... even as we are seduced by the stunning visuals.

This is great stuff, some of the best old-school fantasy every produced for TV, and - despite the puppets and magic - in no way geared to kids. It's "general audience" in the original sense: everybody gathered together around the Storyteller's bewitching voice, different ages envisioning different things as the stories play out.

A word on the second batch, the Greek Myths: These are at a much lower wattage than the European stories, and I'm not sure why, as the stories themselves are great. But Michael Gambon's Storyteller lacks the charm of Hurt's, the scripts (not by Minghella) are more perfunctory, and perhaps the stories are too familiar to have much surprise. They are beautifully produced, and have some good performances (Derek Jacobi as Daedalus, Robert Stephens as Hades), but they aren't as essential as the earlier group. (But given the low price for the whole set, they're well worth owning, even if they lack the "repeatability factor" of the earlier batch.)

Yes, the video quality is pretty wobbly, and the extras are non-existant... but The Storyteller triumphs anyway!

My 9-year-old and I are thoroughly enjoying these half-hour films from the old HBO series (which I had not seen before). Each story is based on some old, mostly European, folk tales - the "real" kind with mayhem, a bit of violence, and some sad endings, not the Disney kind. Thus, you may find them a tad upsetting for younger kids who have been raised to expect happy endings.
For example, in "The Heartless Giant," an imprisoned Giant lies to a young prince to effect his escape, and meets a sad end at the hand of the prince's brothers. In "The Soldier and Death," a generous soldier receives a magic bag and uses it to imprison Death himself (a very scary-looking guy). Despite dominion over Death the soldier is unhappy by the end.
So, these are stories with an almost adult level of sophistication. The production values are wonderful and the performances steller (I especially like John Hurd as the Storyteller character, who appears in all the episodes).
BUT - watch the episodes first to make sure your own young ones won't be overwhelmed. My 9-year-old is just barely old enough. My 5-year-old: not yet.

Product Description

Product Description

The Samsung UN40B7000 Series of television build upon the success of Samsung's first and second generation LED HDTV models. Each using LEDs as their primary light source, the televisions all feature ultra-high contrast ratios as well as slim depths that allow for more artful designs, plus increased energy savings.

From the Manufacturer

(March 3, 2009)
Redefining the standards for viewing quality, energy-efficiency and home entertainment decor, the Samsung 7000 Series LED HDTV deliver unparalleled picture quality and enhanced connectivity while also helping you reduce your carbon footprint with the reduced power consumption of the LED screen. Using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as its primary light source--rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL)--this cutting edge HDTV also offers the benefits of an ultra-high contrast ratio and a slim depth that allows for a more artful design.

Samsung's 7000 Series LED HDTV line-up boasts high dynamic contrast ratios, complements of the ground breaking LED light source. It also incorporates a number of innovative features to reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when displaying fast movement. The Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology utilizes a 120Hz refresh rate helps ensure crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies.

The 7000 Series features Samsung's new InternetTV online content service. Developed with Yahoo!, InternetTV uses either a wired or wireless Ethernet connection to access content onscreen from Yahoo!, Flickr, YouTube and more with the push of a button. The widget-based interface and scrollbar run along the bottom of the screen for easy browsing of the latest programs and content. And this HDTV is accented by Samsung's TOC (Touch of Color), which offers a hint of a translucent color around the edges of the unit for a uniquely fashionable look.

Full HD 1080P

Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable.

Samsung’s 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.

Breakthrough LED Picture Quality

Compared to a traditional CCFL, LEDs produce darker blacks that appear endlessly deep to the eye. Whites also remain crisp and bright with vivid colors. The result is picture quality that measures up to the natural beauty of life. For instance, Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature lets consumers enjoy a broader color palette. The Ultra Clear Panel further allows the preservation of every detail even in brightly-lit, imperfect viewing conditions. This is done by effectively allowing more light to pass through the screen and simultaneously reducing reflections from ambient light. And with an adaptive "Natural" mode, Samsung's LED HDTVs can combine the recognized brightness advantage of LCD displays with the cinema-like viewing experience of plasma displays by automatically optimizing picture settings.

The benefits of using LEDs include not only improved picture quality, but also reduced power consumption levels to easily meet the stringent new Energy Star v3.0 guidelines. The LED modules are mercury-free, which makes for cleaner manufacturing and safer recycling when compared with backlight technologies currently available. In the LED HDTV line, energy consumption is reduced by 40 percent versus traditional LCD HDTVs of a similar size. The LED HDTVs also include a power indicator menu, and an optimized energy savings mode. In addition, these TVs require less material to manufacture and are thinner, reducing packing material and consumer waste. The smaller packaging allows for more units to be shipped and less fuel to be consumed at a time which potentially reduces Samsung's carbon footprint.

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz

This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next.

Touch of Color

In 2008, Samsung created its unique Touch of Color (ToC) design, which uses dual-injection molding to coat a translucent, colored surface to achieve an attractive crystalline appearance. The latest evolution of Samsung's ToC design begins with a deep piano black bezel that fades into distinct chrome that finishes as light ruby highlights on the 7000 and 7000 Series LED HDTVs. The intensity of the color subtly changes depending upon the viewing angle, and further accentuates these TV's slim bezels.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)

You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another?

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand.

Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience".

Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That's it.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

I have been researching televisions for quite some time now and was originally going to go with a Samsung 4 months ago but when I found the 2009 line would be coming out I figured I'd wait and boy am I glad I did. When I first saw some reviews on Cnet I was a bit concerned, even though they listed the 40B7000 as their top choice they stated some cons regarding the viewing angle and some issues they noticed with the LED's being visible sometimes. This made me decide that I would view the screens in person as opposed to just purchasing on Amazon as I intended to do and really didn't think I needed to see in person. Never the less I'm glad I did because any fear I had was immediately irrelevant once I saw the set in person. Needless to say I saw none of the issues mentioned on Cnet and the set blew me away that I couldn't wait any longer and purchased right then! I have had the set for about 2 weeks and I kick myself every time I turn it on, everything looks just AMAZING!! It is the most beautiful TV I have ever seen. My mother and 2 of my friends who were in the market for TV's came over and all of them are purchasing the same set. I plan on getting the 55'' when I move into my new house! There are so many features I haven't even been able to figure out yet. You will not be disappointed with this product. Thank you Samsung!!!

I've been researching TV's for the past couple of months now. I own a samsung 26 inch hd tv thats 1080i that I got two years ago and wanted to get an upgrade. After reading numerous reviews I decided to go with an Led backlit TV over a plasma since I play a lot of video games and was worried about the burn in. I like the previous reviewer read the cnet review and was a little worried about the off-angle viewing and the variable backlighting with this most recent model of tvs.
I've had this tv for about a week now and absolutely love it. The TV itself looks amazing. The stand is both sturdy and stunning. The picture quality is absolutely breathtaking. I have little to no problem with the glare. The viewing angle is extremely wide I have yet to encounter a problem and the lighting is very uniform. This tv produces the most true blacks I've seen on any TV. Images really pop out on this set. I can definitely tell the difference between this tv set and my old one.
Another great feature is all the additional content the TV has. It has recipes with step by step pictures, teaches you how to stretch massage etc. I can't say enough about this tv. I highly recommend this tv especially if you own a PS3 and or blu-ray player.

After having a Sony 27" CRT and then moving up to a Samsung LCD LN S3296D in my bedroom I was ready to move up to a 40" inch TV. The Samsung S3296D picture was amazing but I wanted a bigger size and 1080p picture quality vs the 720p in the Samsung. My dad currently owns a Sony 46XBR2 and my brother a Sony 40XBR4 and every time I look at their TV's I couldn't believe how better their TV's were compared to my Samsung but yes their TV's are 1080p vs my 720p but the features and the look was better. So I decided even before I began my search that I wanted the most current Sony XBR TV. After some research I fell in love with the new Sony 40XBR9 in paper the TV is amazing 1080p, 240hz motionfow, Bravia 3 Engine video processor, 24p True Cinema and 100,000:1 dynamic ratio, much better than my current Samsung S3296D. When I walked in to my local Best buy I looked at other LCD TV's and none could match what the Sony XBR9 had until I came across the Samsung LED 46B7100. The Sony and the Samsung was right next to each other and the picture quality of the Samsung was much better the color just popped out and it almost matched all of Sony's features and inlcuded Edge LED, 4ms response time, 3,000,000:1 dynamic ratio and yes it is only 120hz vs the 240hz on the Sony but you couldn't tell at all on fast pace scenes. BB didn't carry a 40" B7100 but I found out that Samsung made a 40B7000 that were sold by Amazon same features but the only difference was the bezel color. The price on the Samsung was less than the Sony so it didn't make sense why I would pay more for a picture that wasn't as good, so I decided to pick up the Samsung over the Sony even though I had my mind already set but sometimes you have to go with what looks better to you in person vs what is written on paper.Read more ›

This is my first HDTV and I must say the picture is stunning. The TV appearance also looks great and has many great features. But I've noticed that when the picture background is light, that the corners are darker - like a smudged type look. I'd say this affects one square inch in each corner. Asside from this, the TV is great - but once I have noticed this I have found it annoying. I spoke to Samsung and they were very nice and they assured me the problem will be fixed. They put me in touch with a service technician and they are replacing the entire TV panel next Friday. I still am enjoying the TV very much - it has a beautiful picture - I hope the new TV panel eliminates the small problem.

I got the new panel installed - and the dark corner problem is gone -
The picture now is totally remarkable !!!!

First comes the sitting. You should be relaxed
but comfortably straight as you align
your head and torso, shoulders, neck and spine,
your legs right-angled: soles are roots, feet flexed.
In this position you will find your head
afloat, not heavy. Rest there. Now begin
attending to your breathing, out—and in—
the street noise there but filtered, edited.
Quiet the voice that asks: That’s all? Just sitting?
Just being there and breathing? Breathe. Align
your body with the earth, your flitting mind
with all that flies, and welcome, in the One
in whom you live and move and have your being,
things as they are: this chair, this you, this time.

Q&A: Reading on Screens

Students read on screens and in print

AU's Naomi Baron is researching how consuming information in print versus on screens impacts the very notion of how we read. Among her findings so far, the College of Arts and Sciences professor points to some surprising responses from Millennials. AU sat down with Baron to discuss the benefits and limitations of digital reading as well as the appeal of e-books.

1) AU: Why are you interested in this subject?

NB: I've been intrigued for a very long time about the ways that technology affects how we use spoken and written language and, as a result, how we interact with one another and who we are as individuals. What I'm focusing on now is reading. It turns out that these days, we probably read more words than we used to before the coming of modern communication technologies. The question is, what kind of reading are we doing, now that so much of it takes place on laptops, e-readers, tablets, and mobile phones? Is the sort of reading we do onscreen changing the notion of what it means to read? And if so, are these changes for the good?

2) AU: How are you conducting this research?

NB: Over the past two-and-a-half years, my students and I have administered three sets of surveys involving reading on screens versus in print, gathering data from American University undergraduates. The surveys asked such questions as "Are you more likely to re-read something if you are reading on a screen or in hard copy?"; "Are you more likely to remember what your read if you read it on a screen or in hard copy?"; and "Are you more likely to be multitasking if you are reading onscreen than in hard copy?" We also asked four open-ended questions: "What is the one thing you like most about reading on a screen?"; "What is the one thing you like least?"; "What is the one thing you like most about reading in hard copy?"; and "What is the one thing you like least?"

3) AU: What are some of the major findings from the surveys?

NB: The data have been fascinating, especially in light of the fact the subjects were all between 18 and 24 years old—Millennials. Some of the things they reported weren’t what you would think Millennials would say. The students indicated they were more likely to re-read something if reading in hard copy. They also reported being more likely to remember what they read in hard copy. Ninety percent said they were more likely to be multitasking when reading on a screen. Why is multitasking an important issue? There is an incredible amount of evidence, going back at least half a century, confirming that if you are working on two cognitive tasks at the same time (or switching back and forth between them), your performance is worse than if you do the tasks one at a time. Now think about reading. If you are multitasking when you are reading (a very strong likelihood if you’re reading on a digital device, especially one with an internet connection), there’s less of a chance you are mentally focused on the text.

4) AU: How are people responding to the choice between reading on screens vs. reading in hard copy?

NB: What's really astounding is that almost every published psychology study indicates that people prefer to read in hard copy, even though standard comprehension tests suggest they score about the same if reading a print text or one onscreen. (Since these were psychology experiments, the screen condition didn’t allow them to multitask.) Most of these subjects were Millennials. What are young people telling us? They are not as enamored with reading on digital screens as we assume. Looking at data from subjects in my own studies, we see comments like “I know it’s environmentally better to read on a screen, but I really like reading in hard copy” or “I learn more when I read in hard copy, I don't get distracted.” In a nutshell, today’s college students, who have been raised on digital devices, often are saying they believe they will do a better job and like it better if they read in hard copy.

5) AU: Why are e-books so appealing compared to hard copies?

NB: First off, e-books are generally less expensive than print. As any student today knows, that price differential also applies to textbooks. Yet while digital may save students money, do students learn as much? When you use your computer, iPad, or mobile phone, there’s a good chance you will be lured into multitasking. After all, these devices invite users to flit from one screen to another. Devices with an Internet connection are also very handy for doing searches. And when you keep interrupting yourself to do searches, you rarely concentrate on the linear text. In fact, there are data showing that people don’t actually “read” webpages. Trying to read serious, continuous prose is an activity for which printed pages are ideal. Reading the same text on a digital device created for other purposes (like searching and multitasking) is not. As a result, when we read on these two different platforms, we tend not to read the same way.

6) AU: What type of reading does reading on screens encourage?

NB: The kind of reading that works really well on a screen is short-form. Reading longer amounts of text doesn’t. In my studies, students reported that if there is something short to read, it is fine to read on a digital device, but if the text is longer, they'd rather read it in hard copy. They understand if you want to process a continuous flow of text and don't want to be interrupted, reading on a platform that doesn’t encourage distraction is the way to go.

7) AU: Can you give explain further how reading on screens may be changing what it means to read?

NB: As I’ve said, digital technologies with Internet connections work very well for locating bits of information. Because these technologies are now ubiquitous, search is increasingly becoming a way of life. You see these trends in education today—both higher education and K-12. Increasing emphasis is being put not on what you know, but whether you know where to find things. I tell my students that when the electricity goes out, I can still write. And think. And know. Can they? Closely tied in with this shift to search as a reading strategy are two related changes. The first is diminished interest in (and perhaps capacity for) what’s been called deep reading—that is, carefully reading a text, thinking about it, wrestling with the author’s arguments, mulling over a well-turned phrase. The second is an increased amount of what I call one-off reading.

8) AU: Can you explain one-off reading further?

NB: In one-off reading, you approach a text with the assumption that you will read it once and be done with it. Since you’re not going to read it again, there’s no point in annotating the work. (Annotations have long been a hallmark of deep reading.) How much of our reading is becoming one-off? Is it more than in earlier times? While it’s hard to find anything like accurate statistics, it’s pretty clear that if we don’t own a physical book, if we haven’t personalized it with our comments, why not read it once and toss it – like the thrillers we buy for long plane rides. Therefore, how seriously we take what authors have to say, the depth with which we engage with their thoughts, tends to be compromised. The ways in which individuals and societies do their reading are shifting, and not necessarily in a positive way.

9) AU: What are some of the benefits of reading on digital screens?

NB: Digital screens can be highly beneficial, especially for reading on the run (waiting in line at Starbucks, sitting on the subway). Tablets, e-readers, and mobile phones are lightweight, and you don’t need to lug heavy books around. Besides the convenience factor, digital reading technologies are beginning to make it possible for people who don’t have access to world-class libraries to still read their contents—and free of charge. Two important initiatives are the National Digital Public Library in the U.S. and the EU’s Europeana. That’s an equalizing process that only digital reading can bring.

Poppy Seed Kolache

Poppy Seed Kolache

Yield: 3 Dozen 1 ½ ounce rolls

A specialty of Central Europe, kolache are sweet yeast buns filled with poppy seed, prune or other fruit fillings.  Sometimes a bit of cream cheese is added along with the fruit. These soft rolls are comfort food to those of Czech or Slovakian descent as well as many Texans.  According to the Texas State Historical Association web site, in the mid 19th century, many Czechs migrated there attracted by the inexpensive farmland and opportunities in the Texas prairie.

What we like about these poppy seed kolache is their tenderness. The soft dough bakes into a light pillow perfect to accommodate a dollop of our Love’n Bake ® Poppy Seed Filling or Prune Lekvar.

Recipe Courtesy of: Love’n Bake®

For the Dough:

1 cup milk
1/2 stick (2 ounces) unsalted butter
1 envelope active dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 stick (4 ounces) butter, melted, as needed

For the Topping:

2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon butter, melted
1/4 cup flour

For the Filling:

1 can Love’n Bake® Poppy Seed Filling

How to Prepare

  1. Heat the milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted.  Set the mixture aside to cool to 120F.
  2. Stir in the yeast.
  3. Place 2 cups of the flour and the nutmeg in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle.  Add the milk mixture and stir to make a soft dough.
  4. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Beat the salt, eggs, sugar, vanilla and orange zest into the dough.
  6. Switch to the dough hook. Add the remaining two cups of flour. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
  7. Remove the dough from the bowl.  Form it into a smooth ball. Return it to the bowl. Cover and let it rise until doubled, approximately 1 to 2 hours depending on room temperature.
  8. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Divide the dough into approximately 36 pieces weighting 1 ½ ounces each.  Roll each piece of dough into a uniform ball. Place the dough spaced 2 ½ inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Brush the dough with some of the melted butter.
  10. Cover the dough and allow it to proof until 1 1/2 times its size, approximately 30 minutes.
  11. While the dough proofs, make the crumb topping. Combine the sugar, butter and flour in a small bowl.  Mix with a spatula until all of the flour is moistened into a crumble mixture.
  12. Using the back of a spoon or your fingertips, made a large indent in the center of each proofed roll and fill it with a heaping Tablespoon of Love’n Bake® Poppy Seed Filling. Brush the dough with more melted butter, if desired. Sprinkle the dough with the crumb topping.
  13. Bake the rolls until evenly browned and cooked through, approximately 13 to 16  minutes.  Cool them on a wire rack.  Serve the kolaches warm. Freeze them for longer storage. To reheat, place the thawed kolaches on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes.

To shape the dough into pointed squares: Divide the dough into two pieces. Roll out one piece of dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8-inch. Divide the dough into eight or nine 4-inch squares. Place a Tablespoon of Love’n Bake® Poppy Seed Filling in the center of each piece of dough. Gather together the four corners. Insert a toothpick into the dough to hold it together.  Proof and bake as above.  Remove the toothpicks once the pastries have cooled.

Fugitive Emissions: The Marcellus Shale and the Clean Air Act

Vol. 26 No. 3

Mr. Minott is the executive director of the Clean Air Council in Philadelphia. Mr. Skinner is an attorney with the Clean Air Council in Philadelphia.

The Marcellus Shale is an organic-rich, black shale formation spanning 95,000 square miles and extending from New York into Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia at a depth of 4,000–8,500 feet with an average thickness of 50–200 feet. Like many gas shale formations, or shale plays, the Marcellus Shale is both a source and a reservoir for significant reserves of natural gas. As recently as 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy reported that the Marcellus Shale contains an estimated 1,500 trillion cubic feet (cf) of natural gas reserves from which 262 trillion cf is currently recoverable through unconventional horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques. U.S. Dep’t. of Energy, Modern Shale Gas Development in the United States: A Primer, at 17 (2009). This makes the Marcellus Shale potentially the largest U.S. natural gas reserve and twice as rich as the second most abundant shale play in the United States—good news for energy independence and security. And when burned, natural gas releases fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases than traditional fossil fuels.

This Land Is Your Land

Published on Thu, Aug 25, 2011

Jose Antonio Vargas came out of his first closet in high school when he told his classmates and family he was gay.

He came out of his second closet this summer, when he told the world he is an undocumented immigrant.

In his surprising, touching and much talked about New York Times essay, Vargas tells his story of being sent to America from the Philippines by his mother to live with his grandparents. Twelve-years-old when he arrived, it wasn't until he was 16 that he discovered he'd entered the country illegally.

Now 30, Vargas has built the kind of career a young reporter dreams of, much of it during his time at The Washington Post — covering the intersection of politics and technology in the 2008 presidential campaign; crafting a year-long series on AIDS in D.C. that was later adapted into the documentary The Other City; sharing a Pulitzer Prize with the Post team that covered the Virginia Tech massacre. During all that time, he was living with a secret that had the potential to end his career.

Reporting on himself — sifting through the history of his family and journey — hasn't been easy.

''I had to get it right,'' says Vargas. ''I only had one shot to tell this story and I had to tell it right, I had to be really accurate, or else people were just going to start picking holes in it.''

The story itself became a story when the news broke that The Washington Post had spiked the essay at the last minute. While the Times immediately picked up the piece, Washington's media class chewed over the question of why the Post had backed off. Slate media critic Jack Shafer dismissed Vargas's time in the immigration closet as a ''con.'' Post ombudsman Patrick Pexton wrote that Vargas had a reputation as ''a relentless self-promoter.'' Many others leapt to Vargas's defense, hailing his coming-out story as a watershed moment in the debate over immigration in America.

Despite the initial flurry of inside-journalism stories, Vargas has kept his focus on moving that debate forward, in large part through the launch of Define American, a new organization he co-founded to help elevate and change the discussion on immigration and the nation's 11 million undocumented persons. While the DREAM Act — the proposed legislation that would provide a path to citizenship to undocumented youth who, like Vargas, have lived their lives as Americans — remains a priority, and the Obama administration's recent announcement on immigration enforcement has been greeted as a needed, though limited, victory, Define American is as much focused on American citizens.

Because without those citizens, Vargas may never have been able to reach his own dreams.

''It sounds really crazy, but ever since I found I was undocumented I tried to very honestly live with this lie,'' he says, recalling how almost every person he came out to during his journey responded not with condemnation or rejection, but with offers of support and help. ''The American citizens, they're the ones who are my support network, my underground railroad…. I have been the beneficiary of such generosity from people, it's unbelievable.''

VARGAS: We are right now in such a political deadlock on the DREAM Act. There's only so much that this president can do — some can say that he hasn't done enough, and a part of me agrees with that. But at the end of the day there are three branches of government. And this Congress, especially the Republicans in Congress, haven't been willing to play ball. So more than talking about any specific policy point, we're trying to reframe the conversation.

When did we get to the point in this country that somebody who was born here as a first-generation American is an ''anchor baby''? When did we start thinking that immigrants are taking away and not adding to our country? Why is the perception that undocumented people are taking a slice from the pie, when really they're making the pie a lot bigger? The Immigration Policy Center [found that] undocumented people last year paid $11 billion in state and local taxes. How come we never hear about that figure?"

DR Strings K3 Neon HiDef Superstrings Electric Bass Strings

Sorry! This item is no longer available.
Out of Stock:
Product Description

Neon is the second in DR's SuperStrings series. Super bright in day light, and with stage lighting. DR's Neon strings are so bright in appearance "they look like they are on fire." DR's Neon strings shine brightly under stage lights, and are 100 percent black light active so they glow strongly under UV lighting. And DR's Neon sound as good as they look. As Joey Clemment from Salena Gomez said, "Yeah they look great, but they sound incredible!"

The DR Neon Bass Strings are nickel plated strings wound on round cores for a great clear and bright sound.

Neon is the first coated string to make NO apologies. While Neon lasts as long as a coated string should (three to four times as long as uncoated strings) they sound as good, or better than uncoated strings...no excuses.

K3 Coating Care
The K3 coating on EXTRA-life strings is designed for use with standard picks and fingers. The K3 coating can be damaged by scraping against metal. It is important that care be taken when stringing guitars and basses where the strings are passed through a metal block or bridge. Scraping can damage the coating.

Gazzolo Column: Racing home at city championship

Last Modified: Friday, July 26, 2013 2:52 PM

By Jim Gazzolo / American Press

There are very few times when Lake Charles reminds me of my old home in Southern California.

Yes there is heat, but back there it is a dry heat.

And I don’t recall many mosquitoes, at least not ones so big that they require a runway to land.

But once a year, at the strangest of places, a little taste of So Cal comes to the Lake Area.

It might seem like a bit of a reach, but for about the final 85-90 minutes of the Lake Charles City Golf Championship, the cart path at Mallard Cove does look a little like the 405 freeway at rush hour.

While it’s not cars being raced through lanes of traffic, there is a race on.

Folks lose a little control as they get behind the wheels of those golf carts.

I have seen a few fender benders, long stares from one driver to another and even a selection of words exchanged, though nothing really that heated.

It starts at about the 13th hole, a nice little par-4, 387-yarder that has water on the left which the fairway bends around.

Unlike my days outside of Los Angeles, I have yet to see anybody driven into the water hazard by another cart, but I’m not counting it out next year. Things get pretty aggressive as the sun begins to set and more than a few adult beverages have flowed.

By the time you cross the street for holes 15, 16 and 17 there is little room for one to maneuver one’s self. You have to slide between carts, or trees, just to keep pace with the leaders — you know, the guys out there golfing who all these folks are following.

There are no sirens on any of these carts, but there does seem to be some etiquette in the madness.

Those golfing in the final group are usually left alone, able to get a free path to their next shot.

This is lost a little on the final hole, but we will get to that in a minute.

On those three where a street crossing is required, it seems the best thing to do is hang back and then, in one giant move, find a hole to force your cart through just in time to get a glimpse of the next big shot.

After these three holes have been played, the real madness begins.

It takes a moment or two for the horde of carts to get back across the street, oftentimes leaving drivers of actual cars to wait.

Sunday it was some guy in a Jeep Patriot who looked equal parts amazed and annoyed by what he was seeing.

It must have looked like ducks crossing the road to him.

His was a common look among drivers in Southern California so I know it well. Often it comes with an attached hand gesture, but not so in Lake Charles. At least none that I have seen.

As the golfers close in on the 18th tee all sense of reality seems to get lost on the average cart driver, but they must make a quick decision.

Some hold back and wait to race for their spot near the green after the tee shots have been taken, but most do not.

And that is just the first choice.

There are two ways to go from tee to green on 18 and folks make their choice quickly.

Some race up the golf cart, speeding to what they hope is the best spot to watch the final putts.

Others, perhaps more daring, go up the road, around the backside of the green until also finding home.

By the time the golfers hit their approach shots toward the last green, most of the dust from this drag race has settled down. But that leaves an interesting sight, as carts circle the green to get one last look at the leaders.

After the final putt has been made, the dash to be closest to the door of the clubhouse is the last race of the day.

Safely, all carts make it back to their barn before night falls.

Some are much more of a mess than others, but that’s the case with cars as well.

It might not be completely the same as a traffic jam in a big city, but for a few minutes each year it is a race to get home.

A Sad Sacrifice

A Sad Sacrifice

While I doubt many fathers would be unwilling to make this sacrifice, I can’t help but think that if this man would have had a gun and some training, he could have prevailed over the aggressors. It’s obvious that this Miami father had the courage, he fought with two armed assailants, but he didn’t have the tools.

The police spokeswoman used the correct terminology when she called the men that did this “beasts.” Unfortunately, they got away, but the father did save his little girl. Stories like this are why we purchase firearms and get training to use them.

Talk to your friends and family and explain to them that having a firearm, and knowing how to use it, provides an edge over the people who have no regard for law or humanity.

Yes, it is just 60 cm, see http://www.jrmiller.demon.co.uk/products/s_ant.html.
DB6NT gear reaches the physical limits, I believe. I can hear with it
"the grass growing" as we say in German.

Kudos to the AO-51 control team....

Not sure all of what changed, but the 0357z pass of AO-51 (0357z here in
Northern California - eastern pass) was really interesting. The satellite
seemed to be behaving more like SO-50 with regard to keying up, and the
audio quality sounds cleaner.  Excellent job guys.  I'm sure I can speak
for many of the other hams that worked the pass as everyone seemed to have
the same comments.

Like Windows 7, the Lion installer creates a small hidden system partition on your hard drive - in Lion, this recovery partition is to be used in lieu of your install CD in the event that you need to run diagnostics or reinstall your OS (if you burned Lion to a DVD, booting from it will get you the same interface and tools as the recovery partition, so pay attention). This partition is normally hidden from the end user in the Finder and Disk Utility, but is selectable when pressing the alt/option key at boot (and visible in System Profiler as a 650MB partition on your hard drive).

From the recovery partition, you can run Disk Utility, the Terminal, the Network Utility, and the Firmware Password utility, you can connect to wireless networks and launch Safari, and you can also restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup. The Safari option is a new one, but otherwise these tools should look familiar to anyone who has installed OS X before.

Missing from this list are the System Profiler and the Password Reset utility - I don’t know why the former is gone, but the latter is presumably missing for security reasons, since basically anyone armed with the Password Reset utility and physical access to your machine can change any local account’s password at will. To replace the functionality of this tool, Lion now gives you the option to recover your account password if you associate it with your Apple ID, which should work fine for most individuals (though perhaps not so much for system administrators).

If you didn’t burn a disc as outlined previously, the recovery partition also gives you your only option for a clean install of Lion - erase your hard drive using Disk Utility and then elect to install a fresh copy of Lion. At this point, you will be prompted for your Mac’s serial number, which is then communicated to Apple, and if it clears your Mac will re-download (sigh) and re-install the OS. This serial number check is OS X’s first real implementation of what anyone could call activation, though it’s worth noting that if you install Lion from a .DMG copied to another disk, the OS will still install without any checks.

The last thing the recovery partition is used for is to store FileVault information, which we’ll talk more about later on in the review.

Once the installer is complete, people who did an upgrade install will be able to start using Lion pretty much immediately - aside from the (optional) registration form, there’s not really anymore to it. People who did a clean install (or who have new Macs preloaded with Lion) will be taken through the standard first-time setup process, which is mostly identical to that of OS X versions past with a couple of changes: first, the customary OS X welcome movie has been completely removed (possibly in another effort to save on download size). Second, users are now given the option to associate their Mac with an Apple ID, and to give that Apple ID the ability to recover their local account password. Last, on Macs with multitouch-enabled trackpads and mice, the OS literally forces you to use a two-fingered scrolling gesture to click the “Start Using OS X” button. How’s that for pushing new features?

    "There is one huge limitation though: running apps in full screen in multi-monitor setup is unusable."

    As full screen apps are essentially spaces, there is a huge need (and there was for a long time) to be able to manage spaces per screen. All that would be solved if I coul switch between the spaces in a single screen only or move around entire spaces from one screen to another. That would solve this issue and allow a more task oriented kind of work, where you open a space for every task (or project in a multi tasking sense) you are working on and you can open the various apps you need to work on that project. But then that is the opposite of opening all past docs in an app (?)

    "If you were able to include the location in the Quick Add, Quick Add would actually provide a great overall solution for adding new events, but now you need to add the location separately, which kind of defeats the purpose."

    This concept is as ripe as a green banana. I want to be able to mark the text in an e-mail in order to create an event (with link back to the original e-mail). That way I can work with the lazy people that send invitations in any other format than calendar.

    Byt the way go even one more step Appple, and scan all e-mail for addresses, contact info and events and highlight those and with a single click allow me to add the info to my address book or calendar (and with an option send to others in a iCal or vCard format). That would be real progress!
  • teryan2006 - Saturday, July 23, 2011 - link

    umm… I've been doing what you describe, highlighting text in Mail in order to create an event since 10.5. (screenshot: )

    Same thing with the email address and contact info. They've been in Mail ever since they added data detectors.

    If you hover near an email address, time, date, street address, there's a dropdown button that shows up. New in 10.7 is QuickLook style preview for URL in a message

    Did you disabled data detectors? Maybe that's why you're not seeing these things?

    "I don’t find any use for Launchpad. It's one of the less successful iOS imports - it doesn’t fit in, nor does it bring anything truly new,"

    I think this was a foolish comment. The first sentence is fine, the second is not.
    Not every feature in an OS upgrade is targeted at the same collection of users --- I, for example, couldn't care less about full disk encryption.

    I know for a fact that naive users (precisely the people who don't understand the file system, a class you seem to accept does exist) are completely unfamiliar with the Applications folder. For THIS sort of user, Launchpad is exactly what they need --- an easily understood way to run programs they don't frequently run.

    As for you and I, we can just ignore it --- just I like ignore Japanese input methods, or LDAP support, or a hundred other aspects of my mac that aren't relevant to my particular situation.
  • name99 - Thursday, July 21, 2011 - link

    To follow up on what I said, comparing Launchpad with a Stacks view of the Application folder kinda misses the point. The sort of naive user we're discussing doesn't understand that he may have apps sitting on the desktop, or in the Downloads folder, or in the Utilities folder of /Applications.

    The Stacks view you describe is limited precisely because it is based on PLACE, not on on TYPE, whereas what users almost always want is based on TYPE.

    The fact that it does not honor your pre-existing folder structure is, I would say, in Apple's eyes a temporary issue. Consider iTunes. iTunes doesn't create playlists based on how you grouped songs in the file system --- it assumes that your songs are stored in some bag in the file system somewhere that you will never look at, and imposes its own structure on that content. Launchpad is a vastly simplified version of that same idea, and part of the constant theme throughout Apple's past five+ years of UI work --- arrange content using appropriate metaphors in a high level app, NOT using a limited set of constructs at the file system level.

    For example, then macbook pro 15" 2.4 Ghz Core2Duo from early 2008 does NOT support AirDrop.

    Here is compatiblitly list for it and maybe the article shouldbe updated with some kind of note that not all macs will support airdrop.

    Info from ""

    The following list shows the earliest of each Mac model type that is supported. If your Mac is the same, or newer than the model listed, then it supports AirDrop.

    Does anyone know for sure if OSX Lion enables TRIM Support for 3rd Party SSDs?
    I know 10.6.8 enabled TRIM for Apple SSDs.
    Could you provide some background/link to how you got that info please?
