| Puzzlewood - Tolkien’s Inspiration for Middle-earth Posted: 21 Jul 2011 04:14 PM PDT Puzzlewood – even the name conjures up images of ancient ents, elves, wizards and hobbits. You could easily be forgiven for thinking that you were lost somewhere in Middle-earth. Indeed John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was fascinated by the place and it is said to be a major stimulus for the imagination of the man who brought us Bilbo, Frodo and Gandalf. Puzzlewood stretches over fourteen acres of the Forest of Dean in the English county of Gloucestershire.

| Leopard Attacks Villagers in India Posted: 21 Jul 2011 04:01 PM PDT A wild leopard mauled six people in a village in rural India, including police and forest rangers. The attack happened yesterday in Prakash Nagar near Siliguri in West Bengal, a village of about 3,000 people. The leopard was finally tranquilized and died at a veterinarian's office from the barrage of blows from the police and forest rangers. According to reports, the leopard was the only casualties.        Source: dailymail

| Posted: 21 Jul 2011 03:48 PM PDT If you go to the official Apple website and look up its retail stores in China, you'll get four results: Sanlitun, Pudong, Xidan Joy City, and Hong Kong. However, if you're strolling down the streets of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province in China's remote southwest corner, you might think Apple forgot to list its fifth location. An American living in Kunming discovered an entirely fake Apple retail store just a few blocks from her home. The store seemingly had all of the iconic elements: an interesting staircase, an unusual seating area upstairs, the staff was even wearing those famous blue shirts and name tags. However, upon a closer inspection, it was discovered that the stairs were poorly constructed, the paint didn't look professional, and the name tags had no actual names. The biggest giveaway might have been the words "Apple Store" written over the entryway -- Apple retail stores only display their glowing logo.          Source: birdabroad
