These are the very same beer mugs they use at Oktoberfest! And we custom engrave them for you! Yup, the same ones you wave in the sky, spilling all over yourself while singing and dancing to Bavarian music having the best time of your life. These glasses have heavy dimples all around them, except for a smooth area called "the badge". That's where we will engrave your text. These 1 liter dimpled beer mugs (Maákrug in German) are made from extremely heavy glass, durable enough to take a beating from 6 million drunk visitors year after year. These are an absolute must for a beer lover's personal collection, and make the perfect addition to beer events, beer pong tournaments, restaurants, and bars. Maßkrugs (pronounced Mass kroogs) are extremely popular Oktoberfest souvenirs. But dont get caught trying to steal one there! Police catch over 200,000 people trying to steal them each year, and the thieves are usually fined up to 50 Euros. Each of these Maßkrugs holds 1 full liter of beer (about 3 bottles of beer) and are guaranteed to get the job done in style. Conveniently they also hold 1 liter of water for the following day. Prost! Custom Engraving: Personalize these Oktoberfest Mugs with a name or a special message for the recipients! We pride ourselves on offering a superior quality engraving. Each item we engrave undergoes a detailed masking, deep sand-blasting, and thorough cleanup process which is done by hand by our professional artisans. We regularly engrave fine glassware for weddings and special events, and we are meticulous in delivering punctually and exactly how you order it.
If you would like to custom engrave your Oktoberfest Mugs, simply fill out the Engraving Text field below. Please limit your text to 30 Characters per Line.
Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for engraving plus shipping time. If you require rush shipment, please contact us and we will respond promptly.
Awesome Custom Engraved Mug
This brilliant mug is worth every peny. Very durable, hefty, and with high quality. They shipped the mug in a timely manner and it looks better than what is showed from the picture. It made a perfect gift for my friend's birthday. And i'm very willing to recommend this to all my friends. Review by Avril C. (Posted on 9/9/12)

The Film
Almost everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing when they found out about the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001. Some were directly affected, knowing someone who was killed in the attacks or in the rescue efforts.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close portrays such a story, but it is also a story about trying to move on after losing a loved one and trying to find meaning in the pieces they leave behind. (more…)

Non-kook: A person being honest about their surfing ability. Honestly expresses their surfing ability. Does NOT drop in on other surfers or snake them. Follows the rules of the lineup. Kook: "So yea, I was out busting some gnarly pounders when this huge curler came through and swamped me. Lucky for me I just jumped on my board and threw a gnarly air over the white wash without even trying. Hee hee hee."
Surfer: "Awww man. That last set was a clean out. I got hit pretty bad. Damn thing held me down for a while. Hey heres a good set. By the way you can bust a pretty solid snap on these. Not much force though. You have to really paddle for these." OR "Did you see that air? I was worried that I was going to break my board that time. But this kook dropped in on me and freakin' nearly took my head off. It's all good but... (kook now yelling at surfer to not drop in on him). Surfer: "You dropped in on ME! I didn't drop in on you! Kook: Yeah well, watch where you're going bro! Surfer: "What a kook." ETC. |

Kook is a term, most often used by aggro locals, to describe any surfers that:

It is most likely the case that every surfer, at one point or another, has been called a kook themselves and has called other surfers kooks. You don't have to be an asshole local to enjoy this fun, degredating term!!! "That guy has a surf-rack on a land-rover, what a kook!"

HUDSON, N.H. -- A 20-year-old Londonderry man was ticketed for driving recklessly as a result of a two-vehicle crash on Derry Street that occurred shortly after Monday midnight, police said.
Michael Wallman, 20, of Londonderry was cited for reckless operation of his motor vehicle, a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta, after police investigators determined he had driven over a solid double yellow line on Derry Road in an attempt to pass a 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe on the left, just as the Tahoe's driver, 30-year-old Daniel Marchant, of Hudson, was turning left onto Phillips Drive, Lt. Charles Dyac reported.
Wallman's car impacted the driver's-side front corner of the Tahoe, sending it spinning on Derry Street, while Wallman's Jetta came to rest in the front yard of 121 Derry Street. No serious injuries were reported.
Members of the Hudson Fire Department responded and determined there were no serious injuries to either driver, nor to two young child passengers in the Tahoe, who Dyac identified as Marc Turcotte, 9, and Angela Marchant, 6, both of Hudson.
"After further investigation of this collision, it appeared alcohol was not a factor," Dyac said. "However, Mr. Wallman was cited for reckless operation."
Wallman was summonsed to appear in Nashua District Court on Sept. 9.

Which Woman of Color Is The Most Gorgeous?
Vote for the natural beauty you love the most, then learn how to snag her African American makeup and hair look
May 10, 2010 | by Carrie Stern Kleiner | 29 COMMENTS
*Check out each celeb's photo by clicking the "next" button above. On the last slide of this gallery, you'll be asked to cast your vote for the woman you think is the most gorgeous of them all.
SEE NEXT PAGE: Alicia Keys
I am here strictly for the comments because I knew with an article titled, "Which Woman of Color is the Most Gorgeous?", it was going to go down! To single-out any ethnicity and ask what ONE woman is the most attractive is absurd. With all the obvious backlash I'm surprised Total Beauty still has this article up.
by MizzPink Wednesday, December 19, 2012 at 10:42AM Report as inappropriate
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We are all beautiful women. Looks should not dictate how beautiful a person is, I think how a person treats others make them beautiful.

Zoe Saldana is beautiful and so adorable.
by beautybody Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 09:55AM Report as inappropriate
Wow. Funny how this article brought out sooooo much ugly. I don't think it was intended, but it happened. I happen to be a woman of color and of mixed race and I'm a little tired of other Black women saying we are not black. I am just as proud of my African American Heritage as the others. Alicia Keys is obviously a woman of color. The ignorance flows both ways. Why fuss about the White people if your tearing down your own. Funny people......

All women are beautiful in their own way. What's the old saying "Beauty is only skin deep". Is there going to be an aritcle asking the same question between white women celebs?

All women are beautiful ! As long as they are kind, and respect themselves plus others !
by applepiealamode Friday, November 11, 2011 at 12:17AM Report as inappropriate
Ugh, I can't even get to the article and enjoy it for the stupidity & ignorance of the author! I agree with many here, why do people, mainly white people, always feel it necessary to point out ethnicity when it involves blacks or people of color? Obviously you can see that they are woman of color...HELLO!!! And like many said here, how often do you see in the title or content of an article as this, "Which WHITE woman is the most gorgeous?" See...get it? Is all that necessary?? And then to add further insult, this author states "...learn how to snag her African American makeup and hair look." WTH is that? First of all, Queen Latifah sponsors Revlon products, now tell me, what's African American about Revlon products, eh? As far as the Revlon Queen Collection, outside of the foundation, ANY white woman or similar can use that product line. Yes, I'm nit-picking here at the end, my point is the author mindlessly used a poor choice of words and whomever approved this article is just as offensive and ignorant. If this is what I can expect to see when visiting this website, this will be my first and last visit. Shame on TotalBeauty.

What kind of article is this...? This is pitting women who subscribe to this website against one another. So Im guessing the ones closer to light or white were chosen and the most gorgeous?!?!!?!?
by odie Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 01:55PM Report as inappropriate
DarkCOCOA, I agree with you. Alicia Keys is NOT black. She is NOT an AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN. The ONLY WAY YOU ARE A BLACK WOMAN IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A BLACK MAMA. SINCE ALICIA KEYS HAS A WHITE MAMA, SHE IS A WHITE WOMAN. EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO THE FIRST WOMAN OF CREATION, THE BLACK WOMAN. ALICIA KEYS WILL NOT EVER BE A BLACK WOMAN. FOR THAT TO BE REAL SHE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE COME OUT OF THE WOMB OF A BLACK WOMAN. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND. SOME PEOPLE MAY GET MAD, BUT THIS IS REAL KNOWLEDGE AND PROVEN IN SCOLARSHIP. PEACE JONNIE.

Unfortunately, I don't like the title of the article. I think that they could have picked another title or been more inclusive. There are so many other ethnicities that are included in this group, not just us black women.

I would have definately liked to see sisters who rock natural hairstyles. I appreciate Alicia because she often goes from straightened to natural looks, Like the one up here. But what about women like India.Arie, Jill Scott, or Amel Larioux?? I love to see a wide range of beauties so I appreciate this article, but I would have like to see more natural black women (those without weave or relaxers, I mean)

LANGDALE and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team was called out to help a man who fell around six feet and suffered a head injury.
The man had been on the Coffin Route between Grasmere and Ambleside, near to White Moss, when he fell on Sunday.
The rescue team patched him up and carried him down to a waiting ambulance.

Summer Meeting at Effingham Golf Club 7 June 2013
Weather excellent! Golf Course in fantastic condition! Well balanced flights! Nice arrangement! Plenty of Snaps songs and lots of fun! Altogether this made my day! Many thanks to all who contributed! A special congratulation to Kristoffer who also had a successful day at the Golf Course.

Spring Meeting Aldeburgh/Thorpeness April 2013
"The Hardy Nucleus" of RSGS was low in numbers but high in spirits at this year's Spring Meeting. Only 14 golfers were able to attend at the Thorpeness and Aldeburgh golf courses during the last weekend of April. Normally the weather plays a major role in the outcome of our excursions to this part of the world but to our relief, it was relatively benign with what for some (=our President!) was just a gentle breeze off the sea. Some long hitters, like Douglas Nurse, who hits the ball higher and longer than anyone else, might disagree as his ball was spinning off course on more than a few occasions. The sun's appearance was modest the first day but blessed us all greatly with its presence on Sunday at Aldeburgh.
Our Captain, Ulf Brodd, had returned especially from his holiday in Portugal to oversee the competitions and make sure that they ran in accordance with his usual high standards. To encourage the speed of play he had ruled that the max. allowable time gap between one ball and the following out on the course would be 16 minutes with a 2 shot penalty for all players in a ball that lost more than 16 minutes to the preceding ball. Even in a society with players of as varying standards as we have, this would seem a generous enough margin and the worst reaction would, as expected, be when the rule was initially applied. One 3 ball was thus penalised at Thorpeness which inevitably caused some upset as the rule strikes innocent and guilty individuals with equal force. The result was, however, that play on the following day at Aldeburgh proceeded at quite an acceptable speed.
Overnight stay was arranged at what was for us a new venue, the Satis House Hotel, some 20 minutes drive from both courses. After pre-dinner drinks in our own bar and dinner in a separately laid out dining room, the noise level was soon up to decibel values which 15 people have rarely been known to achieve. Paul Williams, our President, was in his usual great form and entertained us in his witty way whilst also arranging the "President's Swindle" for the following day's competition. Another end-of-dinner competition was to guess the total number of balls lost during the day's play at Thorpeness – how many balls can 14 players loose during one round? Well, today the answer was 39 – so much for the President's gentle breeze!
After a night's restless sleep, more than one person was heard muttering at breakfast that there would be no need for wine to be drunk in their household for some time to come.
However, with sunny weather and playing on a lovely course like Aldeburgh, all bodily aches were soon forgotten by all but one; Cathy Mons had taken some fatal footsteps earlier in the week and damaged her back badly enough that after 9 holes she had to abandon play – we hope she recovers quickly. Whilst the Thorpeness course is interesting to play, the Aldeburgh course holds a very special place in all RSGS members' heart and it did not disappoint this time either.
After a sumptuous carvery lunch in the club's dining room, Vice-Captain Cecilia Block officiated elegantly and handed out the prizes for what had been another very well organised Spring Meeting and we all set off home full of plans on how to prepare for the next RSGS meeting and hoping that the number of participants would increase considerably.
Nils Rutlin
Princess Birgitta Trophy Burhill Golf Club Mach 2013
What can we do about the weather? Several players wished to switch on the sun and turn off the heavenly water tap. However we bravely battled it out over 9 holes. Some players with good water-proofs and a water proof swing actually played another 9 holes, as if they were not wet and cold enough. No questions that we are Vikings. All the greens had surface water and sometimes the ball stopped half way to the hole. Thanks to my playing partners we kept a good spirit, which certainly helped to get a reasonable score.
If you hadn't been drowned on the course you could have further watering in the bar before the AGM. This event was efficiently and masterfully handled by the outgoing President, Pax Andersson. The incoming and most welcome new President, Paul Williams, handed over an engraved decanter as a token of appreciation from all the members. Pax nicely filled it up with port for general consumption. Ulla Hising left the committee after 7 years of hard work and was gracefully thanked with an orchid. The Committee got full marks for the handling of the successful Centenary Year. The auditor's agreed to stay on another year if the Helene Öberg continued as Honorary Treasurer and of course everyone welcomed the news that Christina stayed on as Honorary Secretary.
The soup was a good start of the dinner after the cold day. The food was excellent and the wine was generously served. Ending the day the Captain, Ulf Brodd, handed out the prices from last year's cups. We noted that Pax was given a new nickname "Frostbite" having lost the final in President's Cup to Jan Persson, suntanned after his training camp in South Europe.
So we have started the next 100 years!
The bad news is that the winner of the completion has to prepare a writ-up.

Synnove Brasen Memorial Cup Final played
Charlotta Lyckeus and I played the first leg of our final in October on a nice sunny day. In very cold and
frosty conditions we played the second round in December. As we are both members of Roehampton, it was all played there. It was very amicable and I was fortunate to be up after the first round and
could continue my good golf in the second leg to become the lucky winner.
This is a lovely competition and a very good way of meeting up, playing nice courses and finishing off with a
good chat.
Gunilla Huldt
Secretary's Cup Final played
The Final of Secretary's Cup was played today, Sunday 9th December. Nils Rutlin and Folmer Amtoft were 3 up after the first 18 holes and thoroughly thrashed their opponents Kalle Kenton and Pax
Andersson in the second 18 and won the "match" convincingly with 9/8!
Great play throughout the competition by messieurs Rutlin and Amtoft paved the way for this victory. A first for Folmer in Secretary's Cup and a first in a decade for Nils. Great achievements.
Tough weekend for Pax Andersson. Lost the Presidents Cup on the Saturday with 7/5 and the Secretary's Cup on the Sunday with 9/8. Will he ever recover?
Many congratulations to the winners!! Nils and Folmer.
President's Cup decided
The final of President's Cup 2012 has been played between Jan Persson and Pax Andersson. 36 holes with first 18 at Hampton Court GC and second 18 at Castle Royle GC. It was never a real contest. Mr Persson had made the clever move to first go to the Canaries for a fourtnight sharpening his game. It paid off. Big time. After 2 up at his home course he simply put in another gear at the away course and pocketed a very comfortable 7/5 victory. Just outside the "dog-licence". Congratulations to great play.
Gentlemens' Meeting at Swinley Forest
The photo gallery requires at least Flash version 9.0.28.
Please install the latest FlashPlayer.
Swinley Forest Golf Club is a place I hope to come back to again, and again and again, and I have already put the next meeting in my 2013 diary! This classical Heathland course, designed by Harry S Colt, is not a long course but is indeed challenging the way the greens been strategically positioned and shaped with challenging undulations. It is also fascinating that the club does not have a website, no road signs showing the direction to the club, except for a small well camouflaged green sign hidden away in the bushes 100 yards away from the gated entrance. Also there are no obligatory handicaps and members choose what they play off. It is not easy to get a tee time, but as members of the RSGS we are very privileged to be able to play the course once a year.
Having checked the weather forecast throughout the week before the meeting, I was expecting Scottish weather with horizontal rain, but to our big surprise we had a very comfortable and sunny day out there! As the three Österdahl brothers were not attending this year, I am sure that many of us had hopes of perhaps winning a little prize.
The bacon baps served in the club house before tee off were as usual very nice and tasty, and gave us lots of energy to cope with the sometimes stressful situations out on the undulated greens. I was in great company with Douglas Nurse, a 4th generation Barbados citizen, and we both experienced many crazy situations out on the greens this day. After an adventurous and rather quick round we were both very happy to finish in style on the 18th green with only one putt each!
The traditional English lunch served at the restaurant was as usual excellent, generous and as good as in previous years. It was difficult to stay awake after all this wonderful food, but as the fortunate winner of the Prince Bertil Cup and the Paul Williams Scratch prize, I had to try to stay focused for the price giving. Claes Andreasson won the Berntsson Cup, Paul Williams won closest to the pin competition and Douglas Nurse the longest drive. Finally, I would like to thank all the organisers for the very well organised and enjoyable gentlemen's meeting at Swinley Forest this year.
See you at Swinley Forest in 2013.

Centenary Meeting in style at St Georges Hill 21 September 2012
The photo gallery requires at least Flash version 9.0.28.
Please install the latest FlashPlayer.
RSGS' Centenary celebrations continued in style on September the
21st with 49 lucky RSGS members and distinguished guests playing the beautiful St George's Hill Golf Course.
The members all played a Stableford competition for the Princess Birgitta Trophy and it was indeed a special occasion since we had our patron Princess Birgitta attending the day, both playing the course and joining the festivities
afterwards. The ladies also had a new second trophy to play for, in stroke play, The Queen's Cup, a beautiful crystal vase donated by Goteborgs Golf Club. The happy winner was Gunilla Huldt. Runner
up Cecilia Block.
Playing conditions were good. Only the last few groups out playing encountered some rain and
deteriorating light. I was fortunate to go out early and found it enough hardship to fend with the long heather carries and the fast undulating greens.
The evening festivities commenced with a glass of champagne, followed by a scrumptious dinner. During
dinner we were entertained by a variety of speeches held by both members and guests. The traditional prize giving was in two parts. All the honorary guests were given RSGS engraved tumblers,
while the winning and runner up golfers were also lavished with beautiful prizes. The winner of the guest prize was Sten Olsson from Gothenburg. Runner up Rod Armstrong from Hadley Wood GC.
It was obviously a very special moment for me to be presented with the Princess Birgitta Trophy – and by the Princess herself! To add to this honour, I was also presented with a beautiful Champagne
Ice bucket. This was mine to keep, and it will always remind me of this joyous day! But the special celebrations were not over yet – when we came downstairs after dinner we were greeted by a 18
man brass band playing wonderful dance music for us!
Once again a big THANK YOU to our committee for all work put in for this occasion! It was a truly great day and evening! Happy Birthday to RSGS! May the next 100 years be equally enjoyable, with many
more happy gatherings!
By a very happy winner of the Princess Birgitta Trophy;

Cutting Prize at Castle Royle Golf & Country Club October 2012

Måndagen den 8 oktober spelade vi om Cutting Prize på Castle Royle i Berkshire. Vi - tio glada golferskor – anlände i absolut hällande regn. Det såg inte alls lockande ut och entusiasmen var något avslagen. När kaffet var urdrucket och danish pasteries uppätna blev vi faktiskt bönhörda och kunde starta i lite lätt duggregn. Värre än så blev det aldrig så länge som vi var ute - en så'n otrolig tur vi hade! Det var till och med ganska milt och behagligt. Banan var förstås lite våt på sina ställen, men inte värre än förväntat.
!8 hål senare var vi inne och började festligheterna med ett glas champagne. Äkta vara – vi firar ju hundra år och då duger bara det bästa! Maten smakade utmärkt och sedan var det dags för prisutdelning.
Gunnel Forslund var nearest the pin, Eva-Karin Brodd hade the longest drive, Christina Andersson fick tredje pris med 28p, Anita Mortensen fick andra pris med 31p och själv vann jag den vackra vasen med 33p.
Tack Cecilia , som organiserade, och tack alla ni andra som kom och gjorde det till en jättetrevlig dag.
Helene Öberg

Beautiful Berlin turned depressing for Korean spy thriller
Project Profile

As the capital of Germany, Berlin is a beautiful city with both modern infrastructures and sites of historic interest, but as the setting for 'The Berlin File', a 2013 South Korean spy thriller written and directed by Korean action auteur Ryu Seung-wan and starring Korea's top actors including Ha Jung-woo, Han Suk-kyu, Ryu Seung-bum and Jun Ji-hyun against each other in the twisty tale of political intrigue and personal redemption, Berlin has to be unpleasant enough. With a strong opening in box office, the action blockbuster attracted 7 million admissions in early 2013 to become the all-time highest-grossing Korean action film and the critics applauded its "secretive and gloomy atmosphere", which contributed to the film's great success. The magic that turned Berlin from a beautiful city to a gloomy cold place was performed by colorist Park Jin-Young with CJ Powercast with her 8 GPU Linux based DaVinci Resolve.

The Panasonic AG-HPX255 Camera and BT-LH1850 Monitor
Product Review
By Jeremiah Hall
The AG-HPX255 is a hand-held 1/3 2.2 megapixel 3-MOS camera. It uses P2 cards. It records full 1920x1080, 10-bit 4:2:2. It is also capable of being used in a studio environment, thanks to a remote terminal compatible with Panasonic's AG-EC4 Paint Box remote control. Not bad for a camera that lists at $6,995.00. The BT-LH1850 is 18.5" monitor. It has a resolution of 1366 x 768. It's big enough for multiple people to look at, while being small enough to carry around to shoots. It has a built-in vectorscope, as well as a waveform monitor for RGB signals.

Bread & Butter 3D
By Ko Maruyama
Here's why Zax Dow created Zaxwerks and why his software is so valuable even if you already have another 3D program. 3D work can be divided into two main categories: Bread and Butter work, and Custom work. Everyone would like to get custom work but it's the bread and butter work that keeps food on your table. The big mystery here is why most people use custom software on bread and butter jobs? Do they even realize there is a difference? Doing that is like drawing animation by hand; the result can be completely custom but boy does it take a lot of time and skill to do.

FlyingS3D sets Le Crazy Horse on Fire with Pablo
Project Profile
By none
FlyingS3D opened its doors early in 2010 as France's first dedicated stereoscopic 3D post production facility. FlyingS3D is the brainchild of managing director Audrey Bourdiol, who had spent her career up until then looking after the technical side of one of France's largest post houses. With already more than 30 major S3D projects under its belt, in 2012 FlyingS3D won the full post production for 'Feu' (Fire) - a 3D film by Le Crazy Horse - one of its most ambitious projects to date. Le Crazy Horse cabaret was founded in 1951 by the avant-garde artist Alain Bernardin and has delivered its own special brand of glamour entertainment to millions of men and women for more than sixty years. 'Feu' is designed to bring Le Crazy experience to cinema audiences worldwide; 3D was "the natural choice" to achieve this aim, says Audrey Bourdiol.

Sweet Sadie Helps Disney Theatrical Productions Commemorate "The Lion King's" 15th Anniversary
By none
A call was heard in New York that echoed around the world" was the emotional theme of a video produced by Sweet Sadie, Inc. for Disney Theatrical Productions commemorating the 15th anniversary of "The Lion King's" debut on Broadway. Disney provided the studio with a massive trove of stills and videos tracing the far-flung 15-year history of the show from which to draw. Employing After Effects, the Sweet Sadie team set about to bring this material to life by animating cast and crew images against new backgrounds, such as show set photography and crowd scenes complete with flash bulbs popping. 2.5D techniques were used to "cut out" foregrounds from backgrounds to stunning effect.

The Art of the Trailer: Two Years in 30 Seconds
By none
The trailer plays a major role in the marketing and ultimate success of a feature motion picture. This on-screen advertisement is so engrained in popular culture that most of the time it is taken for granted by movie goers. But industry marketing veterans know the trailer is the first and last chance to create a lasting impression on an audience. Most trailers range in length between 30 seconds and two minutes. It's within that short time span that the viewer will pick up on hundreds of cues about the movie. In the blink of an eye he will determine the genre, the gist of the story, the aesthetic and level of production. By the end of the trailer the viewer might well determine the fate of the movie. Is it a must-see or to-be-avoided?

Replay XD: "A POV Camera Designed for Professionals?"
Product Review
By Douglas Spotted Eagle
In the earliest days of sport POV production, photographers were excited about the advent of the "lipstick camera" for its small form factor and ease of use. The camera(s) could be mounted on a wing, helmet, or other foundation, cabled to a recorder, and used for new angles in production. These bullet wonders helped create the sense of "being there." They were also horribly expensive and fragile. In modern times, we've seen the camera shrink in size, and dramatically improve in image quality. In many cases, this size-shrink inspires kludgy form factors, and this is where the Replay XD camera shines.

Hands On with the Nexus 10
Product Review
By Lou Wallace
Right before Christmas my tablet, an Iconia A500 died (just a couple weeks after the warranty ran out of course) and I was faced with the task of choosing its replacement. The timing was great because the latest iPad was out,several new Android tabs were being released and Microsoft was just about to start shipping the Surface. All have some very compelling aspects and I like all three platforms, but as I already have had several android tablets and a lot of apps for that system, my focus and ultimate decision was towards the Nexus 10 from Google. Since there were plenty of 'First Looks', 'Quick Peeks' and such being written already, I wanted to spend some more time with it before actually evaluating it. This review is really my perspective on using the tablet, what that experience has been like and finally was it worth the money.

Millions of people around the world tuned in to watch the Decorah eagle eggs hatch last winter. Now the live camera is back up and running.
Eighty feet up in an Iowa cotton tree, two bald eagles pay no attention to the camera. As the birds swoop into the nest and soar high above the bluffs, they have no idea the world is watching.
The nest is now home to one of the most popular Internet links on the planet. Bob Anderson, director of the Raptor Resource Project, has captivated the world with his Live Eagle Cam.
"There's something magical that takes place with the eagle cam. Somewhere between logging on for 50 hours or 500 hours it automatically becomes their eagles," said Anderson.
Waiting for the eggs to hatch last winter, in offices and classrooms, work came to a halt every time the mom ruffled her feathers.
It's the only way humans can get a bird's eye view of bird behavior. An infrared camera even captures them at night.
"Our infrared cameras show raccoons try to get at eggs all night," said Anderson.
Anderson also wanted to know where the babies would go once they took flight to freedom. With a solar-powered satellite transmitter, he followed the male, which never strayed far from the nest.
The young female, however, fled on an incredible journey. She took a 1,000-mile journey north to Polar Bear Park in Canada.
"It was really fun to discover new insight into a species we thought we knew everything about," said Anderson.
