In case anyone missed the PBS special The Botany of Desire which premiered Wednesday, October 28, 2009, you can still watch the entire program online. It's incredible. Book turned documentary. BOTANY OF DESIRE is a documentary which tells the utterly original story of everyday plants and the way they have domesticated humankind. An interpretation of the relationship between plants and people. This two-hour documentary explores plant evolution and takes viewers from the potato fields of Peru and Idaho, the apple forests of Kazakhstan, and the tulip markets of Amsterdam.

Factors such as soil erosion, water shortage and the impact of chemicals on bio-systems have been overlooked in favour of massive crop yields and cheaper food. But what impact does this have on our health and our environment?

After I got my Android phone, I kind of stopped using my Novel very much, and when this update came out, I was busy and didn't get around to it. When I finally found time, I couldn't find my charger. I finally found it this weekend, recharged the battery and installed the update. I had to run it several times and when I finished, I was missing some videos (but they're still on my laptop, so I can transfer them when I get a chance). Overall, I like it, but I wish they had gone to a higher release level than 2.0. I also wish we had access to the full marketplace rather than the limited one they give us. I forgot how much I disliked the sensitivity (or lack thereof) of the screen. I bought a package of DS styluses, which helps a lot, but I like the response I get from my phone a lot better. But it's definitely easier to read things like books and web pages on the Novel (and that type of use makes the screen sensitivity easier to live with). I'll have to download some videos to it and see how they play. IIRC, videos didn't always display very smoothly with the old OS.

the Pandigital I had was very good I used it a long time till I got another brand and then I passed the PDN on to one of my family so they could use it and still are. They have several models however so that may be the situation. it should be fine as a basic ereader. I prefer them to have the epub format readers because there are so many epub sources including the library books. You may be able to add the kindle for android app to this one Kat but I really don't know since I have not seen one. When you get it let me know the actual model number and i will see what I can find out on it.

Have not heard anything about Uri Geller in a long time. He used to be a fixture on TV for a while. What I really found interesting is that I had such a different perspective of Sandra Cisneros from what she writes about herself.
