Austin, TX, 78705, United States
Located off the beaten path in the West Campus neighborhood, this second-story restaurant is known for its Mediterranean small plates and inventive cocktails. The covered patio caters to a 30-something happy hour crowd, while the candlelit dining room is popular with couples. Created by chef Jason Donoho, the menu is divided into tapas, such as the fried anchovy—stuffed olives, and small plates like the fried goat cheese with honey and red onion jam. At the bar, acclaimed mixologist Josh Loving crafts specialty drinks like the Brotherly Love cocktail, made with gin, Cocchi Americano, elderflower liqueur, ginger, and orange bitters.
Insider Tip:
The dining room tables are closely spaced, creating a noisy environment when the restaurant is full; visit during off-hours if you're looking for a quieter, more intimate experience.

Market confidence is riding high, even for the complicated larger mergers, but with the more apparent inorganic growth opportunities already taken, we may see some failures with the latecomers falling off the crest of the merger-wave. - Steve Allan, M&A practice lead, EMEA

Safavieh Soho SOH216A Beige Rug
Item #: 101SOH216A-P Add to Wishlist
Description: The Soho Collection is Safavieh's response to market demand for clean, transitional design in rugs that work equally well in traditional and contemporary homes. The collection's unique purity and clarity of the color is achieved by selecting only the purest premium New Zealand wool as a canvas for Safavieh's exciting new color palette. Many of the designs in the Soho collection are accented with viscose for silky softness to outline patterns, and further highlight the softness of the wool. This innovative collection is hand-tufted in India.
- Collection: Soho
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 2' x 3', 3' 6" x 5' 6", 6' x 9', 8' 3" x 11', 6' Round, 8' Square, 2' 3" x 4', 2' 6" x 10' and 2' 6" x 14'
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
Completely satified with purchase of the soho runner, however available picture online appears to be much lighter than actual color of rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Great quality rug. Completely finished back so it won't scratch floors. You will probably want to get a pad if you are not anchoring it with furniture. The background is a much darker beige than pictured and the colors are not quite as vibrant as represented by my monitor but I still love it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Really great pattern and it feels nice to walk on. The only problem is that the coloring is significantly different than the picture- in reality it's quite a bit darker and less saturated. The lightest beige parts are closer to a mustard color and the oranges feel more brown in some areas. Would probably have returned it if it were easier to do so, but am going to try a light bleach mixture to try and brighten the rug up a little bit.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs. Safavieh also produces a variety of rug designs from American Country styles and 19th and early 20th Century European Art.

my zucchini plants are taking over my garden area can i trim back the leaves with out hurting the zucchini |
Follow-Up Postings:
I usually do a bit of leaf trimming to keep my container zukes looking(somewhat)tidy. |
I wouldn't trim them back, but be ticked they are still healthy. |
- Posted by ShenandoahJoe 6 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 17, 11 at 14:56
Whenever a leaf blocks sunlight from a tomato plant, you bet I trim it back. Doesn't seem to slow the plant down, unfortunately. |
- Posted by ladybugsmom192 9 sf bay area (My Page) on Sun, Jul 17, 11 at 15:22
I trim mine all the time because I have other things growing near by, like tomatoes and peppers. So when my beautifully monstrous zukes get a bit too big/grow in wrong direction, then yes, I snip, won't hurt 'em. Just make sure you trim close to main stalk, make a clean cut too. Hope this helps! - Angela |
thank you all |
This is good info my bush zucchini are also kind of taking over my cucumbers. |
A few days ago, my papillon chased the bantie chickens through the squash. Trampled the squash to smithereens. I ended up doing surgery on my gigantic costata romanesque zucchini. It actually looks better now, after cutting off about half the plant. It didn't wilt the past two days, despite 112 degree heat. I didn't water it and it still didn't wilt at all! |

Style F13 is a skinny oval rectangular sunglass that goes over regular glasses. The lenses are polarized UV400 lenses and scratch resistant.
Style F13 Measurement
The measurement of your prescription glasses must be smaller

5 3/8 Inches Wide x 1 1/4 Inches Height

I have never worn over the RX sunglasses as I always went for the prescription sunglasses but can be very costly. I found this site and thought I would give these a try. I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of the glasses and the comfort. I am sold, will never buy another pair of prescription sunglasses when I can wear these.
Posted by Unknown on 9th Jun 2012
These are exactly what I was looking for. They look like I'm just wearing sun glasses. You can hardly tell they are over prescription glasses unless you look closely. PERFECT!!! Worth every penny (a great price, I might add). The anti-glare is nice too. Thanks!
Posted by Cal Miller on 29th Apr 2012
I first bought theblack rims and liked them so much I bought anotner pair to keep on by bike. The polarization is really great! A tip that may help some: since this style will fit precisely over the size glasses indicated in the description, I have found that the best way to put them on (at least for me) is to fit them over the sciript glasses first and them put them both on as a unit. Especially when worn under a helmet which can cause them to slip off the regular glasses.
Posted by Unknown on 29th Apr 2012
If you wear small prescription lens glasses, these are perfect! They fit so well over your prescription glasses that you look like you only have a pair of sunglasses on! They are so much better than the ususal wrap around glasses on the market!! I just love them, in fact I bought 2 pair!
Posted by Lisa on 29th Apr 2012
I was distraught when I lost the magnetic clip-on sunglasses that came with my original prescription glasses. I was very happy when I discovered these! They fit perfectly over my glasses and are very comfortable. Best of all, they do not make me look like an old lady! They actually look stylish.
Posted by Unknown on 29th Apr 2012
I love them! They fit perfectly over my glasses, and it doesn't make me look like a grandma driving an RV... :)

Do deniers of qualia have qualia? Suppose I believe in qualia (I am not committed either way). If Martha is a denier of qualia, can I argue that Martha has qualia, just because I do? I can use an argument by analogy to argue that she has beliefs, thoughts, etc.: she behaves like I do who has beliefs, thoughts, etc., and has the same kind of brain structure as I do (the latter is kind of fishy, because we say this so confidently even without actually scanning Martha's head and my head). But what about qualia? I could say that she behaves like she has qualia. That's only going to be very plausible as an argument for qualia if qualia are causally efficacious, but I think that if there are qualia, they are causally efficacious. However, does she really behave like she has qualia? After all, unlike me (who, we are supposing, believes in qualia), when Martha has been aware of a red object, she denies that she has had a quale of red, and so on in other cases. Isn't that enough to sink the analogical argument?

I have long thought that the best evidence for actual zombies is the writings of Daniel Dennett and other qualia-deniers. Isn't the obvious hypothesis that they are right about their own experience, and wrong about ours?

John F. Kennedy was inaugurated 50 years ago Thursday as the nation's 35th president. Kennedy's inaugural speech is also considered one of the most memorable. Kennedy famously said "...ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country..."
Events will be taking place around Washington, D.C., to celebrate Kennedy's legacy. There will also be an event at the Kennedy Center Thursday night with President Obama.

After a brief hiatus from releasing new material, the Washington, DC based rapper Redhead drops a new video for his single "Too Much" from his upcoming Exxxactly EP through Super Femina Entertainment. This self-directed video features arguments with clones of himself, apartment lofts in Harlem, and an impromptu party with friends overlooking downtown Washington, DC in a hilarious, fun filled day.

Redhead – Am I Thirsty? Pt. 1
Here's something new from Capitol Heights MD, artist Redhead entitled "Am I Thirsty". This is only part one, but we're sure to see part two very soon. This isn't bad, and also don't forget, Redhead's first single "Too Much" will be released next week.
In this first installment of a concept that he's drafted, Redhead paints a picture of modern relationships being shaky due to the rise of social media. In this somewhat anti-Valentines Day record, he describes how most relationships don't come to fruition because of outside perception. His debut single Too Much from his EP "Exxxactly" is due to be released on Feb 27th, 2014 via SFE/Fontana/Universal.
Check out the fist installment of "Am I Thirsty" after the jump.
Redhead – Furlough Bars
Washington, DC hiphop artist Redhead has dropped a new song titled "Furlough Bars" in light of the recent October 3rd, 2013 shooting near the Capitol Building in his hometown. In this new song, Redhead paints a picture of a stressed out version of himself to lightly share the mentality of many people that suffered the two-week sequester.
Stephen Redhead – Aim To Please (Official Video)
Capitol Heights, MD Redhead makes his second addition to VEVO with this self-directed music video "Aim To Please" from his project The Schemata. Redhead and his crew The FarEXP are set to open for the 90s hiphop group Souls of Mischief on July 11th, 2013 at the Rock & Roll Hotel in Washington, DC. Redhead's upcoming project Exactly is due for later this year under SFE/Fontana/Universal.

LOL Hope all is groovy there, I have enjoyed reading of your 'adventures in teaching' LOL rats and all...LOL I have been struggling to keep body and soul intact, as the first three weeks of this month I was unable to do any massages due to having a bad reaction to bacitracin as evidenced by a HORRIBLE rash on my arms where I have been having laser beam treratments on my tattoos. I am back now but so is a mountain of bills before me now...Take care and I look forward, always foreward to pictures...LOL perhaps soon, huh? OK i'll stop bustin' chops on ya... Miss you alot! God bless. Dallas

Hey Jacquie
Sooooo glad to hear from you again, I was getting concerned after a week of no messages. Have you tried those tiny little bananas? they are sooooo delicious, make sure and try em if you get a chance. I forwarded your Ipod site to Gary thinking he might enjoy hearing about your very funny stories you are sending us. It would be really awesome if there was some way you could meet him and his family. Can you get us a picture of the starry skies at night? No one here would believe how many stars there really are up there in the heavens!!!!!!

Hey jacquie
Everytime I read your site I get tears in my eyes...really! You are so brave. If I had been that brave when I was your age I would have been living in Africa now for 30 years and we never would have met! Alas! you live and learn and accept your shortcomings! Im sooooo proud of you. You will never view this world the same, and you will have a wisdom to draw upon and teach these westerners when you return....what the 'real world' is like!

Plus the original spearmint plants (grown from commercial seed) have quite different traits. Let me know if you are interested. Also have some peppers, celery and lettuce, all available for sase. |

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received , and wherein ye stand ; | 1 Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. |
2 By which also ye are saved , if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. | 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. |
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received , how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; | 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, |
4 And that he was buried , and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: | 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, |
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: | 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. |
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep . | 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. |
7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. | 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, |
8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. | 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born. |
9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. | 9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. |
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am : and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. | 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. |
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach , and so ye believed . | 11 Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. |
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? | 12 But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? |
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen : | 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. |
14 And if Christ be not risen , then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. | 14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. |
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up , if so be that the dead rise not. | 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. |
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised : | 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. |
17 And if Christ be not raised , your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. | 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. |
18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished . | 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. |
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. | 19 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. |
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept . | 20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. |
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. | 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. |
22 For as in Adam all die , even so in Christ shall all be made alive . | 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. |
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. | 23 But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. |
24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. | 24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power. |
25 For he must reign , till he hath put all enemies under his feet. | 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. |
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. | 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. |
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. | 27 For he "has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that "everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ. |
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. | 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all. |
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? | 29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? |
30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? | 30 And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour? |
31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily . | 31 I die every day--I mean that, brothers--just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord. |
32 If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink ; for to morrow we die . | 32 If I fought wild beasts in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die." |
33 Be not deceived : evil communications corrupt good manners. | 33 Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." |
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. | 34 Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God--I say this to your shame. |
35 But some man will say , How are the dead raised up ? and with what body do they come ? | 35 But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" |
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened , except it die : | 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. |
37 And that which thou sowest , thou sowest not that body that shall be , but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: | 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. |
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him , and to every seed his own body. | 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. |
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men , another flesh of beasts , another of fishes, and another of birds. | 39 All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. |
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. | 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. |
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. | 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. |
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: | 42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; |
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: | 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; |
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. | 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. |
45 And so it is written , The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. | 45 So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. |
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. | 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. |
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. | 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. |
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. | 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. |
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. | 49 And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. |
50 Now this I say , brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. | 50 I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. |
51 Behold , I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep , but we shall all be changed , | 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- |
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound , and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed . | 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. |
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. | 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. |
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written , Death is swallowed up in victory. | 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory." |
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? | 55 "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" |
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. | 56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. |
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. | 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. |
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. | 58 Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. |

* Posted by: vstech (My Page) on Thu, Mar 9, 06 at 9:30 ok, I figured out, that I did not resize it. I just downloaded two different size .gifs. so what program do I need to resize a gif? free would be nice. but, if I have to buy something, what do you experts reccomend?
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi John I've also heard Irfanview is very good. I use Paintshop but it's an expensive option if you just need to resize. This program looks interesting too but I haven't tried it: The link will let you download it PhotoFiltre is a complete image editing and effects package, that will not only amaze you with features but also the fact that it is free (for personal use). It comes with many features that rival some commercial packages, as well as additional add-on that can be downloaded from the web site. PhotoFiltre offers all the standard editing features (selection, clone brush, paint brush etc.) as well as a large selection of image effects, photo masks, image adjustments, thumbnail browser and much more.

Home Entertainment Appliances The Resolution Wars
by Jill Russell, Associate Editor
The digital age has arrived and as demands for high-tech gadgets spike to new heights, consumer electronic OEMs are embarking on a full-fledged technology war aimed straight for the home.
Offering an entire home theater package, Sharp reentered the digital light projection (DLP) category, introduced a new line of its AQUOS™ LCD TVs, and also showcased a wide selection of audio home theater solutions at the 2005 International CES.
In the midst of a digital revolution, consumer electronic (CE) companies are fiercely competing to attain the top spot on a list of "industry firsts" to increase brand recognition and top unit sales. According to the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), sales of DTV products increased 78 percent in 2004, reaching U.S. $10.7 billion in dollars and 7.3 million units. One of the largest contributors to this trend, the association says, is the popularity and infiltration of liquid crystal display (LCD) and plasma display technologies. Total sales of LCD TVs, both analog and digital, passed the $2-billion mark in 2004 and are expected to surpass $3 billion in 2005. Additionally, unit shipments of plasma screens, according to CEA, reached 853,000 units in 2004 and are forecast to nearly double to 1.4 million units this year. Gaining momentum on digital convergence, the latest industry innovations include advancements in record-breaking screen sizes and display technology, home theater systems, and networked remotes. "Six years ago, [television] was a very simple business," comments Jim Sanduski, vice president of Marketing for Samsung's Visual Display Products Group. "Fast forward to 2005, and you have an explosion in terms of the different underlying technology platforms for TV. The television industry right now is in a Renaissance period."
Utilizing cathode ray panel (CRP) technology, Samsung Electronics' SlimFit TV is said to provide a high-definition, digital solution at a lower cost than LCD, PDP, or DLP displays. The company says it expects the unit to sell well as an update to traditional CRT technology.
Pixels and Crystals
One of the ongoing battles between CE OEMs is that of resolution. The ability to display an image in the finest detail possible has become a major selling point as digital conversion becomes mainstream. Now, as broadcasting stations are increasing the rate of resolution in which they send out that digital signal, manufacturers are producing displays to keep up. Following the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's adoption of a digital television (DTV) construction schedule in 1997 that would convert analog signals to DTV transmission by as early as December 2006—although the date is speculated to be pushed back—manufacturers have been tailoring products accordingly for the consumer. Playing its part in the display wars, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (Ridgefield Park, NJ, U.S.), a subsidiary of its South Korea-based parent, displayed a 102-in plasma screen at the recent 2005 International CES, held in Las Vegas, NV, U.S., Jan 6-9. Although Samsung says the display was more of a showcase piece, the company did announce that it was shipping its 80-in plasma model that was displayed as the same centerpiece only 1 year earlier. According to Mr. Sanduski, the 80-in model is scheduled to ship by the end of the second quarter or by the beginning of the third quarter. "It represents the highest resolution of the DTV standard," Mr. Sanduski says. "Up until now, the standard had ranged from 720p (progressive scan lines) to 1,080i (interlaced scan lines). The highest definition is 1,920 lines across by 1,080p, or progressive lines coming down the side, and that television is able to reproduce that high quality of a signal." In addition to featuring an HD format, the 80-in HPR8072 plasma display boasts a 5,000:1 contrast ratio. Samsung says it is also working on developing HD units that feature smaller footprints with more traditional technology. Samsung SDI recently introduced its SlimFit HDTV, a traditional CRT TV that is HD-ready. Mr. Sanduski says that although the flat-screen CRT TV weighs about the same as traditional CRT TVs because it uses the same basic internal technology, the unit is an example of radically new CRT TV due to its radically smaller size over other typical CRT units. With a 30-in screen size, the SlimFit unit boasts a 16-in depth dimension, as opposed to 24 in. "While the unit is almost a third thinner than traditional CRT, it features higher resolutions—two trends consumers are wanting," Mr. Sanduski tells APPLIANCE. Samsung says the unit utilizes cathode ray panel (CRP) technology that enables improved brightness and contrast over traditional CRT, but at a lower cost. The company says the units feature an integrated HDTV tuner that works with an antenna to receive over-the-air broadcasts and can process 720p, 1,080i signals. Samsung expects the SlimFit unit to do well in comparison to higher priced LCD and plasma units because it resembles a flat screen unit at a lower price. "The bottom line is that we feel, as a player in all technologies, that whatever the consumers design desire is, whatever their budgetary considerations are, we have a solution to offer. In the case of our SlimFit TV, consumers who buy it won't feel like they're buying yesterday's technology," Mr. Sanduski says. Unlike Samsung, Sharp Electronics Corporation (Mahwah, NJ, U.S.), the U.S. subsidiary of Japan's Sharp Electronics, is anticipating that digital light projection (DLP) technology will soon overtake the CRT market and has announced its reentry into the DLP market with its 650 and 750 Series. The two series are available in 56-in and 65-in screen sizes and feature a Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX, U.S.) chip set, built-in ATSC tuners, and a 1,200:1 contrast ratio. "As an industry, we are transitioning away from the CRT technology," Bruce Tripido, director of Product Marketing for Sharp's Display Devices, explains. "We are transitioning toward micro display technology, which allows for higher performance, higher brightness, as well as a slimmer footprint for these DLP TVs." In the LCD market, Sharp's latest product offering boasts a high resolution and a sleek, slim design. Introducing a 65-in version of its AQUOS™ line of LCD TVs, the company says the units feature 1,080p panels and contain a proprietary scaling technology that ensures clear images. The unit also utilizes the company's Advanced Super View/Black TFT Panel, which reportedly provides high brightness levels, a 800:1 contrast ratio, and wide viewing angles. Winning a Emmy® award from the National Television Academy for its product technology, the 65-in units are equipped with a response time technology called Quick Shoot that enables the pixels to change color and essentially respond to the digital signal and change accordingly in under 12 msec. Also taking the LCD segment by storm, Westinghouse Digital Electronics' (City of Industry, CA, U.S.) new line of LCD displays, including 27-, 30-, and 32-in models, are scheduled to ship in March 2005, while a 37-in model is set to ship in the second quarter. The company says its 42- and 47-in displays are set for a third-quarter release. Westinghouse says its units feature a 2-million-pixel display with a 1,920 by 1,080p resolution. The company says that in addition to incorporating the latest technology into the display, designing the overall look of the unit was also important. The company designed what it calls a standard form factor on all of its new LCD units that create a so-called "spine" on the back. This, explains John Araki, director of Product Marketing, enables a sleek design because it centralizes the electronic components on the back of the unit. "The way the connectors are placed, the way that the form factor is thin, that's where all the electronics are standard in all three lines, and it is easier to take this form factor and migrate all the way from 27- to 37-in and also migrate to 42- and 47-in we will later introduce," he tells APPLIANCE. This design, according to Mr. Araki, helps reduce overall cost because it allows the company's vendors to utilize the electronics board area and customize it according to different product models. "[Suppliers] can position their electronics package so that it allows us to achieve features and migrate it to all the lines," says Mr. Araki. "We don't have to repeat things and start from the beginning." Westinghouse says it has also integrated a picture technology called Faroudja DCDi®, which reportedly adds to the units' 3D capability using a comb filter and the de-interlacing capability of the digital image. The units also feature True Life™ video processing technology that the company says helps deliver crisp and clear images in a thin, 2.3-in flat-panel design. "This technology takes the TV signal and then processes it with a video decoder and an image scaler," Mr. Araki says. "It basically provides a video path that optimizes what the color should be, what the overall response should be, and what we call the richness, or the vibrancy, of the picture."
Westinghouse Digital Electronics has introduced its new 37-in LCD display, striving to provide high-quality LCD displays at a comparatively low cost. The company says its units, scheduled for a second or third quarter release, feature a 2 million-pixel display and a 1,920 by 1,080p resolution.
Integrated Solutions
Besides focusing on display technology and sleek designs, CE makers are working to provide solutions that combine high-tech imaging with other components such as DVD players and recorders, all in a simple package. The winner of 16 CES awards, LG Electronics, Inc. (Seoul, South Korea), while showcasing a 71-plasma screen at the CES show, also introduced its plasma HDTV displays with a built-in digital video recorder (DVR). The company says the models, available in both 50- and 60-in models, each have an integrated 160-G hard drive DVR. This, according to Michael Ahn, president and CEO of LG Electronics U.S.A, Inc., the company's North American subsidiary, allows consumers to easily record over-the-air broadcasts in HD for up to 14 hours of programming. Users can also record up to 62 hours of programming with standard definition formats and up to 150 hours in an analog format. In addition, the units feature the company's 60,000-hour "DoubleLife" panels, which are said to increase PDP longevity, in addition to a 5,000:1 contrast ratio and a brightness ratio of 1,000 candellas. A Gemstar TV Guide is also installed on the unit to assist with programming and recording. According to LG, the units are an industry first and provide an important solution to a growing consumer concern—the utilization of space. "The integrated PDP HDTVs provide a space-saving solution to consumers," says Mr. Ahn. "This eliminates the need for a separate set-top box DVR and cable box that consumers would have had to previously purchase in order to record content and to receive cable." Besides offering a HD display with DVR-capability, LG also integrated memory card slots into the units. The slots can read up to nine different file formats so that, according to Mr. Ahn, consumers can view a variety of media, including digital images. "The major factors [in the industry] are simplicity and convenience." Mr. Ahn tells APPLIANCE. "Consumers are seeing multifunctional, premium products for a variety of areas-especially the home. They are seeking high-end products that deliver on performance, style, and design," he explains. "Consumers want electronics that are cool to use, yet are simple to set up and operate. Plugging one cord into the wall is now an option when setting up a flat panel TV if you have an integrated tuner, cable card-ready, and DVR incorporated set." Wanting to offer consumers a more permanent solution in the ever-changing face of technology, Brillian Corporation (Tempe, AZ, U.S.) announced its latest rear projection TV featuring a chip technology called liquid crystal on silicon, or LCoS® Gen II technology. The technology is said to produce results similar to that of LCD and DLP technology, but at a much lower cost. The technology works by utilizing a layer of liquid crystal between a single glass plate and a silicon microchip. According to the company, the electronic circuits that control the formation of the image are fabricated on the silicon chip and are polarized before and after the light reflects from the chip, reportedly making the final result less pixilated and more easily scalable over other rear projection displays. According to Rainer Kuhn, vice president of Sales and Product Marketing for Brillian, the company's new 65-in rear projection TV offers the innovative LCoS technology in combination with integrated features and upgradeability. "The focus of the product was really to do everything possible to maintain optimal video signal quality from when the video signal is received into the TV to the time it is presented on screen," he says. "We literally took no shortcuts in putting in the best video components to make sure the best on screen image would result." To do this, the company added a 6 mega-pixel light engine containing three micro displays, each entirely devoted to one color—red, blue, and green. This, says Mr. Kuhn, eliminates the use of a spinning color wheel, which sometimes creates a rainbow effect behind certain images or during fast-paced scenes. The light engine is said to help deliver high-contrast images and stark black and dark images with its contrast ratio of 2,000:1. Additionally, the unit features a pixel-warped video processor chip set, which scales DDI, VGA, and MTSC formats to the appropriate resolution of 1,080p. However, the company says what makes the unit distinguishable from its competitors is the fact that its software and hardware can be upgraded. Upgrading software allows users to add features and control adjustment settings. In regard to upgrading hardware, several features, including an ATSC tuner, a cable card, or media reader, can be added into the set after purchase. For the consumer, this offers a direct benefit of added flexibility and creates a longer life for the product. "For example, the consumer may not want an ATSC tuner in the unit when they first buy it because they utilize a cable service for HDTV," Mr. Kuhn explains. "But, if they move to another area, and they want to get over-the-air HDTV signals, they might want to put an ATSC tuner in. With our unit, they can do that."
Utilizing a patented technology called LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon), Brillian Corporation introduced its rear-projection TV that is said to provide a clearer and brighter picture over other display technologies. The units feature a three micro display light engine, and software and hardware can be upgraded.
The Home Experience
As digital technology is dominating the display category, manufacturers are developing home theater components to follow. At the forefront of the home theater category are front projectors. Typically seen with high price points geared toward a premium market, CE makers are bringing the technology down in price, but raising features for the tech-savvy consumer looking for a theatrical experience without wanting to leave the comfort of home. Showcasing its Z2000 front projector at the 2005 International CES, Sharp says even with the recent interest in home theater, it is still considered a niche market. "It's kind of an interesting phenomena," Mr. Tripido tells APPLIANCE. "[The market] is growing exponentially, but at the same time, it's a small segment of the display market." The Z2000 is said to feature a low price point with a 1,280 by 720p HD resolution. Utilizing a chip set by Texas Instruments, the unit offers a contrast ratio of 2,500:1 and a brightness level of 1,200 candellas. "Historically, the home theater was something that was unattainable in terms of expense," Mr. Tripido says. "It's still probably not affordable to the average customer, but the demographic that can now afford to build some kind of theater has definitely grown." In response to the growing market, Samsung introduced its HT-P1200 home theater system that includes the company's extended super digital sound management (SDSM-EX) that reportedly simulates a 9.1 channel sound from only five speakers. The unit features a USB-cable connector that enables the unit to play digital music files and also provides a play list on-screen, accessed via the unit's remote. "We figured people were spending a lot of time downloading their favorite songs [on portable devices], so we wanted to give them the opportunity to come home and then play that back in something other than their headphones," explains Bill Hadam, senior manager of Digital Audio for Samsung. The unit features HDMI technology, which allows the transfer of a digital signal from the DVD player to the TV to stay in the digital format until it is converted onto the screen, and 800 W of power and a 150-W subwoofer." Also noting the rise in popularity in home theater, Sanyo Fisher Company (Chatsworth, CA, U.S,), a subsidiary of the Japan-based Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., introduced a new LCD projector. The PLV-Z3 is said to set new standards with its motorized iris and automatic lamp control that adjusts brightness levels to match its current images. The company said it added a 10-bit true image processing technology, compared to the traditional 8-bit, which adds additional grayscales to the unit's display capabilities. With the higher-bit processor, the projector can now display more than 1 billion colors compared to the previous 16.6 million. Mark Holt, vice president of Sales and Marketing of Sanyo's Presentation Technologies, says the combined features comprise what the company calls TOPAZreal (Total image Processing for Advanced Z-series). "The sensor in the iris is what makes this product stand out," he notes. "Taking in the brightness and contrast ratios, the unit sends information to the sensors and adjusts the iris accordingly." The company says the unit's short-throw lens can create a 100-in image with the projector only 10 ft away and has been designed specifically to display DVD movies. The unit, according to Mr. Holt, features a digital HDMI connect that allows virtually any digital device to connect to the projector to display images on a large screen. Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. (Irvine, CA, U.S.) is offering a wireless projector for the home theater experience. The company showcased its TDP-S20U and TDP-SW20U projectors at the CES show. Weighing in at less than 6 lbs, the wireless units provide a 2,000:1 contrast ratio and an SVGA resolution of 800 by 600 and are said to be designed for traveling professionals that can then bring the technology with them. The projectors feature three video input sources and include audio in/out connectors as well.
Philips Electronics' RC9800i wireless remote is said to be ready-to-use, out of the box and configures itself after the user answers a few simple questions. According to the company, the unit offers an entire home network solution and can access and organize multimedia content with view on a color touch-screen display.
High-Tech Networks
In line with the move away from analog signals, the industry is looking to provide an entire home digital solution. With a higher adoption rate of digital television, CE makers are designing for new market-consumers that want a networked home for their digital appliances. According to market research by the NPD Group, consumers who have installed a home network to link PCs, audio systems, and televisions are most interested in using the technology to share photos and music, and most of those users believe that the TV can be the most effective interface in a home network. Based on this belief, Philips Electronics introduced its color touch-screen remote control designed to control TV displays, video content, and multimedia files from the PC or Internet. The remote is equipped with Wi-Fi technology and can take the place of other remotes in the home. It also can recognize more than 600 brands of CE devices. According to Anthony Fonzo, marketing manager for Home Entertainment Networks Products for Philips Electronics North America, the remote is ready for the consumer to use out-of-box. "This remote literally speaks to you in your own language," he tells APPLIANCE. "It asks you very basic questions—things like, 'Do you have a television in this room?'—and by the time you are done answering those basic questions, the remote has already programmed itself to control all the devices in that room and eventually throughout the home." When answering the remote's prompts, the control creates its own macros system for turning devices on and selecting the correct inputs based on personal preferences and component function. For example, instead of having a single button for every component needed to watch a DVD (i.e., turning on the TV, DVD player, and stereo system), the remote takes those components into consideration and combines them into one activity to form one button on the remote for that particular function. The result is a single function on the remote that when pressed, turns on the TV, DVD player, and stereo system at once. In addition to controlling digital visual and audio equipment, the remote can access digital music files, photos, and multimedia files from the PC to display on the television. The unit comes with a recharging cradle and can be upgraded by using its USB connection, where new codes and features can be downloaded through the Internet. And because the unit it equipped with Wi-Fi, a TV programming guide can be accessed through the remote via the Internet. "Consumers essentially want everything, anywhere, anytime," Mr. Fonsdale says. "Consumers have always wanted technology, and they've always wanted devices to make their lives easier in some sense. To create something they couldn't have otherwise done—to bring them a simple, useful technology—is delivering on our company promise."

EW's critic discusses the wonder of TV shows on DVD
I've always heard that episodic shows like ''Law & Order'' and ''CSI'' lend themselves better to syndication than serialized shows like ''Alias''
and ''24,'' and that this contributes to the proliferation of such shows on the networks. I'm wondering if the popularity of TV shows
on DVD might lead to a reversal of this trend. -- Grace Lee
Grace, you've hit on a trend I sure do notice. My friends rent or
buy whole seasons of anything from ''The Sopranos'' to ''Party of Five'' on
DVD and watch their ongoing plots unfold in marathon couch
sessions. The profits from DVD sales have already resulted in the
revival of ''Family Guy'' and may soon extend to serialized dramas (the
upcoming transformation of the witty ''Farscape'' into a miniseries is
also a good example). This can only make for livelier television.
