Album Notes: Personnel: The Supersonics, Tommy McCook, Treasure Isle All Stars. An absolutely essential compilation that offers an intriguing glance into the origins of Jamaican DJ culture, 30 MASSIVE SHOTS FROM TREASURE ISLE documents U Roy's extremely fruitful late-`60s tenure at Duke Reid's Treasure Island imprint, and includes many of the finest sides that the quick-tongued DJ cut during his long and storied career. Though U Roy did not invent DJ toasting, his records for Treasure Isle did much to popularize the art and are arguably responsible for the stylistic development of later DJs like Big Youth, I Roy, and others. On these recordings U Roy puts a playful spin on rhythms originally voiced by groups like the Paragons, the Uniques, and the Sensations, transforming them from languid rocksteady into wildly celebratory dance tunes of the first order.
Advantages: You learn about the real people of Tudor times, not just Royalty! Disadvantages: Expensive maybe, location might be considered too out of the way.
..., archery and falconry." We didn't see any of that, but if I had been visiting this as a 10 year old, I'm sure I would have found it enjoyable.
I couldn't tell if the four or five staff who we met were employed by the School or they came up from Portsmouth with the exhibits but we found them all to be friendly and receptive.
I would highly recommend a visit to 'Hidden Treasures'. I came away from it far more interested in the time of the Tudors than walking around any historic house looking at paintings of noblemen has ever done.

Advantages: Small, great pics, easy to use Disadvantages: No zoom, AA Batteries
.... Now I know that we are looking at cameras today with 8+ megapixels but a 2.0 is fine as long as you don't plan to blow up the resulting pictures as you may find the quality compromised. This camera will take crisp, clear pictures and has a built in auto focus. One of the best pictures I took on my whole trip was from a moving rickety bus in the Cook Islands and everyone comments on what a great picture it is.
There is an LCD screen (about an inch in diameter) on the back to help you focus you shots. Like many of the models in the Cybershot range the DSC-U30 offers good pictures at low light levels without using the flash function. The flash itself when used is not to sharp and the resulting pictures are soft and full of colour. The flash actually fires twice, the first time illuminates the image and allows the camera to set...

Advantages: Stunning landscape, nice towns to visit Disadvantages: None
...The Isle of Skye is somewhere I have wanted to visit my whole life, but have never had the chance. The Scottish Isles for me have a sort of mystique about them, the isolation and the tradition they have, but Skye has always been the one I?ve wanted to go to. I think a lot of it has to do with my favourite band, Runrig, being from there ? their songs are often about the landscape they grew up in, and they even have a song called Skye.
Finally, at the end of September this year, I went to the island with my parents. Having been staying on the mainland for several days in rubbish weather, the first remotely decent day we had we jumped in the car and shot across the bridge, as they knew how excited I was to go to the island, and we didn?t want to miss the best weather we were likely to have (best in this sense is mainly dry with showers...
