The Best Travel Website … it isn’t actually a Website
To some people, the online world doesn't appear the way it does to the rest of us. They live their online lives not reading websites on Google or Bing, but casting about on Facebook and Twitter. They do this not because they enjoy standing apart from the crowd and being quirky (although there must be some of that to be sure), but because there are some fabulous opportunities available to them when they go about things this way. For instance, what is the best travel website you go to, to buy a round-trip to somewhere or the other? Expedia? Orbitz? Priceline?
As far as these people are concerned, that's almost like saying you use Ask Jeeves or Alta Vista (or some other sad and lost search engine) to look for information. To them, when it comes to travel deals, Twitter is where all the action is. All-in-one, it gives you access to the best flight and hotel prices, when there is a problem, it helps you get attention like nothing else, and it allows you personalized service (and upgrades).
Actually, most Twitter users do know pretty well that there are travel deals to be had. They even know that complaining on Twitter can make businesses jump like few other things can. It's just this personalized service thing that Twitter users don’t usually know enough to take advantage of. And in this way, it’s the best travel website experience ever.
For instance, you know that you’ll be arriving at a city late at night; but you still want something off the lunch menu because at that hotel, tucking into that is the favorite part of your entire stay. Sending a tweet over ahead of your visit asking for a little special consideration will usually get what you need – the lunch menu available at 1 AM in the middle of the night. For those who know their way around Twitter, the social networking and microblogging website provides them with a way of getting personalized service in a world filled with bland mass-produced service.
Twitter can do things for you that the best travel website of the regular kind never could. Need hotel recommendations from friends or self-styled experts around the country whom you've never met? Feel lonely after work in a new city and would like a temporary friend to catch a play with or go to dinner with? What other travel websites could help you achieve these things?
Certainly, travelers can go to Twitter for some extra service. Travel companies – hotels and airlines – love Twitter too though for how it allows them to stay on top of that their customers minds. JetBlue has such an entertaining Twitter feed, it has 1 million followers. In Las Vegas, the MGM Grand casino puts out to the public and classic Vegas fashion – on a large lighted sign on the strip.
Still, not everyone really understands how best to engage Twitter in a way that serves their needs. Companies, to begin with, aren't really doing all they can to entertain their regulars with tips and news bits that will keep them engaged with the company. All they do is to ply their followers with advertising and drive them away. In general, companies need to realize that there are two kinds of followers – those who like advertising and deals, and those who like information. They need to keep separate Twitter accounts for both.
As for travelers, they need to understand how to get into all of this. The first thing you need to do is to get on Twitter and broadcast your travel plans. You can be sure that hotels in the city you're going to will be listening and they will come in with some special offers.

Professional 401k Advice can make all the Difference (whether it Costs you anything or Not)
Workers with 401(k) plans these days do a lot more than to merely leave their plans alone while they work and contribute over the years. These days, there are such a range of products and services that they take advantage of to make the most of their retirement accounts. Roughly one out of three owners of 401(k) accounts use at least one of these services. They use target date funds, managed accounts and they use one of the most popular options around – professional 401(k) advice. So basically, this is what you want to know – is it worth it?
Well, a study put out by two major providers of these services does find strongly in favor of professional 401(k) management. The study finds that on average, you make 3% more on your 401(k) account when you accept professional advice. The belief is that apparently, people left to their own resources often do considerably worse managing risk and earning a return.
And it isn't merely over the long term that they gain the full benefit of the advice. Even those who are a mere five years away from retirement, the study tries to establish, can do far better with 401(k) advice from a professional. One possible reason why this is so, it is noted, is that those who are close to retirement, if let to their own devices, often panic over how far they have left to go, and they make some hasty decisions over how to manage their investments.
With professional 401(k) advice the other hand, they learn to put together a custom-made group of investments to go with how long they have left to work. These days, the younger 401(k) participants as a rule gravitate towards target date funds. This is where they get to put down the date they will retire so that the retirement fund manager will start with a risky (but high profit) investment plan, but will slowly switch to a more conservative one as the retirement day draws close. With people who have perhaps just seven or eight years left to retirement, managed accounts that offer a customized and conservative management policy offer the best value.
But not every provider of professional 401(k) advice charges something substantial. A study by Charles Schwab found that 401(k) participants often reject free professional 401(k) advice that they receive online – advice that could really make a difference. For instance, employers often offer free advice. But only about one in ten employees actually takes the advice.
According to Ms. Charles Schwab, perhaps companies should make their advice look more appealing – by offering them in proper one-on-one settings.
Kodak’s Printer Software Helps Turn Two Regular Photos into One 3D Photo
Perhaps the whole premise of the movie Titanic was a little off. Objects of interest from the Titanic can be worth millions of dollars. They didn't have to go after the Heart of the Ocean. A few worthless artifacts would have been just as priceless. An Irish court gathered recently to try to make a decision on what kind of people had the right to salvage objects of interest from the wreck of the Titanic. They had to make a decision because there were people trying to retrieve Captain Smith's bathtub. The court sat and looked at a 3D photo of the deep ghostly interior of the Titanic – of the bathtub sitting there for nearly a century at bottom of the ocean.
The 3D photo today isn't just the province of people with access to deep pockets. If you would just like spectacular 3D photos of your children at the beach or other such heartwarming moments, Lumix makes 3-D camera for about $1,750. But what if you are just the official photographer for your own mud-pie making children and you can think of at least a dozen other places $1750 would be better spent? What if you just want to take wicked 3-D pictures of those mud pies without spending almost any cash at all?
There are all kinds of magical things possible on a little money these days. The new Lytro camera, for instance, for little money, allows you did take pictures that you can set the focus on afterwards in software. Now Kodak has a new system - that they just showed off at the Consumer Electronics Show. It allows you to take regular pictures with any regular camera and then turn them into it 3-D in the software they give you. All you need to do to gain this ability is to spend $100 on their new ESP C310 3-D photo printer.
What is it that the regular 3-D cameras do? They come with two separate lenses; every time you take a picture, you’re actually taking two pictures at different points of view. Each picture is meant for a different eye. Each eye gets to look only at the picture that's intended for it when you look at the picture through 3-D glasses. The genius of the new Kodak system is, that you don't have to have a camera that has two lenses set apart at a set distance. You just have to shoot any picture twice moving the camera a couple of inches for the second one.
You feed both images into the Windows-only software you get, and it turns both images into a single 3D photo that you can view with the supplied paper glasses. The question is though, does it work well when you can get your subjects to hold a pose until you click two pictures?
The 3-D photo that results tends to be viewable and clearly three-dimensional, if not with the kind of spectacular depth and clarity you get on real 3-D cameras. In some ways, this could be a novelty product.

Abbey Road [Vinyl]
![Abbey Road [Vinyl]](/51QFGpP5mOLSL500.jpg)
The Beatles' last days as a band were as productive as any major pop phenomenon that was about to split. After recording the ragged-but-right Let It Be, the group held on for this ambitious effort, an album that was to become their best-selling. Though all four contribute to the first side's writing, John Lennon's hard-rocking, "Come Together" and "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" make the strongest impression. A series of song fragments edited together in suite form dominates side two; its portentous, touching, official close ("Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End") is nicely undercut, in typical Beatles fashion, by Paul McCartney's cheeky "Her Majesty," which follows. --Rickey WrightPrice: $15.98

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Entertainment Pack
The PlayStation Portable 3000 Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Entertainment Pack brings together the latest hardware revision of the PlayStation Portable (PSP), with Metal Gear Solid tactical stealth action and overall digital entertainment like you never thought possible. The Bundle includes a "Spirited Green" PSP-3000 system, a copy of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker in UMD format, a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, a PlayStation Store downloadable movie voucher (title tba)* and a code to unlock in-game content including the Stealth gun and FOX T-shirt.
Stories tell of a legendary soldier who once waged war against the world. His name was Naked Snake, a.k.a. Big Boss, and the truth behind this legend will finally be told. The era is the 1970’s. Big Boss had stationed his "Soldiers Without Borders" in the steaming jungles of Colombia, South America, where he was approached by visitors from Costa Rica, a "nation without a military." In the wake of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as Latin America became a key to maintaining the power balance between East and West, Costa Rica had miraculously managed to maintain its peace and neutrality. However, in various regions of the country, a mysterious armed force seemed to be engaging in suspicious activities. Now, to preserve peace in this nation without a military, the "Soldiers Without Borders" move into action. In time, they would be known as the founders of "Outer Heaven." Forge a new path and live the legend with Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, the first official Hideo Kojima game on the PSP system.
Along with a deep single player mode Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker contains exceptional multiplayer co-op functionality. Co-op action is facilitated via the PSP's local wireless ad-hoc connection and features different types of missions. Missions more dependent on stealth are limited to two-player games, while others--for example, boss battles--are meant for games of up to four players. Players have their choice of different versions of Snake. These not only possess differing appearance, but more importantly, differing strengths. During co-op play players can pull resources by staying within a minimal distance from each other. This link is indicated by circles emanating around them. While maintaining this connection resources can be shared, including weapons, supplies and and overall health, indicated by a shared health bar. Players are able to view partner's inventory at a touch of the PSP's left or right face buttons, and when need be can resuscitate a fallen companion. When linked, players can also move in unison by virtually tapping your partner's shoulder with a touch of the D-pad and then making your move. 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo With 2GB of memory, the included compact Memory Stick PRO Duo allows you to save your PlayStation Network downloads, as well as store your videos, photos, music and more. PlayStation Store Downloadable Movie Voucher More than just a gaming device, the PSP-3000 Limited Edition Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Entertainment Pack includes a PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher (title to be announced).

Olivia
Olivia would be Eloise, if Eloise were a pig. She is good at singing 40 very loud songs and is very good at wearing people out. And scaring the living daylights out of her little brother, Ian, particularly when he copies her every move. She is also quite skilled at reproducing Jackson Pollock's "Autumn Rhythm #30" on the walls at home. When her mother tucks her in at night and says, "You know, you really wear me out. But I love you anyway," Olivia precociously pronounces, "I love you anyway too."The New Yorker artist Ian Falconer's endearing charcoal portraits of his porcine heroine are spotted with fire-engine red gouache in all the right places--perhaps a tribute to Hilary Knight's red, pink, white, and black celebrations of Olivia's human counterpart? When she dresses up, the bow on her ears, her red lipstick, and her high-heeled shoes are all red. (The only time her shades-of-gray body is pink is when she is sunburned and the area where her bathing suit was is white!) Falconer does a fine job of letting the spare text set up the jokes for the visual punch lines--a dryly humorous interplay that adults will appreciate as much as children.
Preschoolers (and their parents) will see themselves in Olivia--a typical high-energy, over-the-top kid who likes the beach and Degas paintings, but hates naps. On the other hand, she combs her ears and is unusually gifted at sandcastle building. While we are certainly reminded of Eloise, Falconer's portrait is simpler in scope, less demented, and, as a result, less adult. Bottom line: precocious is fun, and we're tickled pink to have Olivia join the parade of, let's just say, individualistic youngsters. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson

Let It Bleed
One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky "Love in Vain") and country ("Country Honk," the two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women") before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped "Gimme Shelter," the drug-reality anthem "Monkey Man," the epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and Mick Jagger's menacing "Midnight Rambler." --Steve KnopperPrice: $18.98

Select The Best Paper For Any Job
Whether for professional, creative, or everyday use, HP helps take the guesswork out of finding the perfect inkjet or LaserJet paper for any project.
 |
Why HP Paper Is Important
Not all papers are created equal. Designed with each element of the HP printing process in mind, HP papers, toners, and inks are specially engineered to work together to deliver quality, reliable printing, as well as fade resistance, bolder blacks and more vibrant colors.
Because HP papers are specifically formulated to work with HP printers, it's important to select the right HP paper for every job to ensure a crisp, clean finished product.
Key HP Paper Features
Check the label on HP paper packaging to find this key information:
Finish
Consider the look you want to achieve, and choose a finish that fits your needs:
- Glossy: For color images that really pop, try printing on a paper with a glossy finish.
- Matte: If printing a document with text, such as a term paper or resume, a matte finish can make your text easier to read.
- Satin: A satin finish will give your photos a smooth, professional touch.
Brightness
The brightness of your paper refers to the amount of light reflected from the surface of the paper, and is typically measured on a scale from 1 to 100. Print on brighter paper, such as HP Bright White Inkjet Paper, for higher contrast, crisper text, and a clean background for more vivid images.
Weight
Thickness (measured in millimeters) and weight (measured in pounds), refer to the sturdiness and crease-resistance of your paper. HP paper comes in a variety of different weights.
You may try using a heavier paper for artwork or pieces that will be frequently handled, like cards or brochures. Heavier paper can also help formal, more substantial printed pieces, such as resumes and invitations, stand out from the crowd.
 |
Size
HP offers many kinds of paper in a variety of sizes, from standard 8.5" x 11" paper, to 4" x 6" and 5" x 7" photo paper, to specialty sizes such as wide format and legal paper.
Not all printers can handle all kinds of paper, so before stocking up, check your printer manual for paper size and weight capabilities.
Choose Paper Suited To Specific Tasks
Whether printing driving directions, invoices, snapshots for the fridge, or formal wedding invitations, HP has the paper you need to get the job done.
Multipurpose Printing
For basic home and office printing, a simple, multipurpose paper is your best bet. Many HP multipurpose papers now feature ColorLok technology for more vibrant colors, bolder blacks, and fewer smears. Engineered with special additives that chemically react with inkjet inks, ColorLok paper absorbs ink deeper into the paper while holding the pigment closer to the surface, delivering impeccable print quality every time.

The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Third Season
The third season of the wonderfully smart and silly comedy The Big Bang Theory is even better than the first two. When Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, and Raj--the show's quartet of supreme geeks--return from their research expedition in the Arctic, Leonard and his adorable neighbor Penny fall into each other's arms. In most TV shows, losing that sexual tension would deflate the entire series, but the writers and performers of The Big Bang Theory navigate these treacherous waters with aplomb; after a weak couple of episodes, the show regains its bearings with faux tattoos, sneaky behavior modification, lessons in football, a dislocated shoulder, a trip to Switzerland, pot brownies, and the one true Ring. Guest appearances by comic book legend Stan Lee, Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica, and former Star Trek boy genius Will Wheaton as themselves are used to remarkably good effect, and Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, as Howard and Raj, get better story lines than ever before. But make no mistake: Jim Parsons, as Sheldon, drives the show. With Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Penny (Kaley Cuoco) grappling with fairly conventional relationship issues, it falls to Sheldon to turn every potential cliché into an opportunity for unexpected lunacy. His combination of ruthless rationality, profound narcissism, and yawning neediness make Sheldon a remarkable comic creation, and Parsons plays him to the hilt. Even funnier than his relentless analytical approach to emotions is when he tries to be more human; his attempts to comfort Penny when she's injured are hilariously unnerving. Watching Sheldon "grow" over the course of The Big Bang Theory's progress is one of the show's greatest pleasures. --Bret Fetzer

Les Miserables: The 10th Anniversary Dream Cast in Concert at London's Royal Albert Hall
The 10th anniversary concert video of the international musical sensation Les Misérables might be the best thing to appease fans until a full-fledged movie comes along. Or it might be even better, as feature films are often subject to extramusical casting considerations and this 1995 dream cast is superb. Reprising their roles from the original London company are Colm Wilkinson (Valjean), Michael Ball (Marius), and Alun Armstrong (Thenardier). From Broadway come Judy Kuhn (Cosette), Lea Salonga (Eponine), and Michael Maguire (Enjolras); from a later London production comes Ruthie Henshall (Fantine); and from Australia comes Philip Quast (Javert).Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg's score vividly captures the passion of Victor Hugo's epic tale of post-Revolutionary France, combining tear-jerking ballads ("I Dreamed a Dream," "Bring Him Home") and rousing anthems ("Do You Hear the People Sing"). The format of this concert is closer to that of a dramatic cantata rather than a fully staged production; the singers stand at their microphone stands with an orchestra and chorus behind them, but they do wear costumes and participate in some movement. At certain points such as the climax of the barricade scene, the video switches to action from a stage production. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra sounds great, and it can be thrilling when 200 choristers (dressed in logo T-shirts) rise to their feet for a full-company number such as "One Day More." Also, subtitles provide date and scene information and help move the story along.
The 147-minute video contains footage not seen when Les Mis was a PBS pledge-drive staple, most notably the encore in which a progression of 17 actors who have played Valjean around the world share "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Each sings a line in his native language, a testament to the enduring power of this show to audiences everywhere. --David Horiuchi
DVD features
The 2008 two-disc edition presents the concert on a single-sided disc (the original DVD split the concert over two sides) with optional English subtitles. It's also in anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1 aspect ratio) comparied to the original's 1.33 full-screen. The second disc has Stage by Stage: Les Miserables, the hourlong documentary from 1988. Unfortunately the sound is only Dolby Digital 2.0. Early editions of the DVD had an odd omission (compared to the earlier Sony DVD)--the first 10 seconds of Gavroche's "Little People" were missing ("Good evening, dear inspector, lovely evening, my dear...")--that has now been corrected. --David Horiuchi

WCW/nWo - Goldberg: Who's Next? [VHS]
![WCW/nWo - Goldberg: Who's Next? [VHS]](/514QJBXYF6LSL500.jpg)
One of the Stones' most beloved albums, 1969's Let It Bleed was a benchmark for several reasons. First, founding guitarist Brian Jones died during the recording process. Second, the Stones take their last significant look at pure blues (Robert Johnson's spooky "Love in Vain") and country ("Country Honk," the two-stepping alter ego of "Honky-Tonk Women") before folding both styles into a cohesive rock & roll vision. Third, it contains some of the band's most eerie hits, such as the flame-enveloped "Gimme Shelter," the drug-reality anthem "Monkey Man," the epic "You Can't Always Get What You Want," and Mick Jagger's menacing "Midnight Rambler." --Steve KnopperPrice: $14.98
