Continuous original canopy now obscured by late C20 cladding. North elevation of 10 bays, the first with keyed diocletian window, the next 5 with keyed oculi. Interiors substantially complete; stalls remodelled late C20, but 2 curved balconies above carry tiered seating for circle and upper circle.

Flanking the arch at circle level are single boxes framed by giant pilasters which carry serpentine pediments.

text: I like mainly the genre(s?) called intellectual Metal. Groups like Megadeath, Iron Maiden, and Queensryche where they actually tell you facts or convey a full story (andd give info). I also like the genre known as New Age. I like the Spiritual Undertones to most of that (though I'm not a big Gospel fan). I also enjoy listening to the Nature tapes, where they blend natural sounds and music or just have the natural sounds(which sometimes is music all it's own). I will listen to just about anything though.

Jar size and processing time question
Tracy93(6)August 4, 2012
My husband wants salsa. My neighbor gave me the tomatoes. Since I am inherently lazy, I bought a package of Mrs. Wages salsa mix. It says use pint jars and process 40 minutes in a water bath. I would like to make 1/2 pints as there are just the 2 of us and I'm not a big salsa eater.
Can I use the 1/2 pints and process the regular time with no adverse effects on the end product or will it over cook in the smaller jars? If it will overcook can I safely cut the process time by 10 minutes?

Lee Kuan Yew, educated in the UK and called Harry Lee for the first part of his life, led Singapore to independence when it was flung out of Malaysia in the 1960s. At the time, observers wondered how the small country, formerly a British colony, could ever survive.
It did, however, with Lee being in large part responsible for its emergence as a well-housed, well-educated and productive nation, an example of how things can be done.
To be sure, Lee was sometimes heavy-handed. In fact when I first visited I was rather afraid of what I might see in the way of repression. But the cabbies groused to me about the government the way they do most places, and there was a notable absence of uniformed police or military on the streets. Shortly afterwards I made my first trip to Paris and was shocked to see soldiers with machine guns in the Métro. My conclusion was that there are a lot of ways to control a population, and since Singapore worked so well, perhaps Lee had some good solutions to complex problems.
Indeed, Nicolas Kristof, the New York Times columnist and specialist on Asia, called Lee Kuan Yew a "philosopher king" in his review of Lee's memoirs.
Plato, you'll remember, recommended philosopher kings as the best rulers since they combined both wisdom and power for the betterment of their countries. The world has had exceedingly few of them. When one emerged he all too often was corrupted by power. He was told what he wanted to know. His wisdom turned to caprice. He frequently became a tyrant. He would be tempted to overstay his welcome.
Lee Kuan Yew, however, stepped down in 1990, having carefully planned his succession. He was sixty-eight and in apparent good health, and a few days before he retired he spent part of a Sunday planting a tree in a recently refurbished park along the city's waterfront The event was nothing new—he'd inaugurated this annual Tree Planting Day nearly twenty years earlier. But this day he didn't like what he saw. He squatted down and held his hand above the new pavement, telling reporters and dignitaries that he could feel just how much heat was still radiating from the ground even though the sun was setting. The trees, he said, should be planted closer together so that when they were full grown the canopy they formed would shade the pavement.
It was a small detail. Not one you would think a philosopher king would be concerned about. But it was symptomatic of the care and thought that have gone into making Singapore an example for green cities all over the world.
Too bad there are not more like him around.
(The photo is of Palm Valley in the Singapore Botanical Garden: my first trip there was to research it for my book Recreating Eden: A Natural History of Botanical Gardens. I visited there again in 2006 because I wanted to include it my book Green City: People, Nature and Urban Places.)

Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews hails from Winnipeg, but his popularity in that city is going to take a hit after his late-third-period goal against the Jets gave Chicago a much-needed win – and dealt a serious blow to Winnipeg's playoff hopes. More
Former NHLer Andre Deveaux, who played a handful of games with the Leafs & Rangers from 2008-2012, went berserk prior to a Swedish League playoff game and attacked his opponent. This video footage is all the evidence needed to suspend Deveaux for quite some time.
The Pittsburgh Penguins confirmed earlier today that defenseman Kris Letang is out of the hospital, but will be out indefinitely with a concussion after taking a hit from Coyotes winger Shane Doan on Saturday night.
The playoffs are just around the corner and it's time to take a look at some of the players who stepped up their game down the stretch. The top three forwards and top three defensemen are ranked by most points thus far and goalies were ranked based on wins since the All-Star break.
If the Penguins choke again in the playoffs, they should try everything they can to trade Sidney Crosby for Connor McDavid. Because of the new draft lottery rules, the possibility isn't as crazy as it sounds. In fact, it makes perfect sense for Pittsburgh.
In this week's Getting To Know, Montreal Canadiens blueliner Jeff Petry talks about growing up in Michigan, the scariest thing he has ever seen on the ice and why he liked watching Nicklas Lidstrom play.
Both circuits are great at producing NHL talent, but they are also in direct competition for said players. That makes education and recruitment paramount for the teams and leagues.
Is the linchpin of the floundering Toronto Maple Leafs "uncoachable" or just a product of bad luck and a poor team around him? You might be surprised by the answer.
It didn't take long for the NHL to announce that New York Rangers winger Tanner Glass would be punished for hitting Boston Bruins defenseman Adam McQuiad in the face with the butt-end of his stick. The League issued a statement shortly after the Boston-New York game on Saturday afternoon saying Glass would be fined $3,897.85 – the league maximum for such an offense.

Town Square
Please Don't bulldoze the voters in order to bulldoze our baylands.
Original post made by Alice Schaffer Smith, Green Acres, on Apr 20, 2012
As a resident of Palo Alto, I will be directly impacted by any development on the bay; your Cargill project appears to me to be environmentally unsound and damaging to nesting birds including the rare snowy plovers which nest in the marshlands immediately to the south in Menlo Park and the clapper rails in the Palo Alto marshes by impacting the water levels including the flow of water south from Redwood City.
Please don't ask your citizens to vote on this: the builders will distort the process by spending a huge amount on misleading advertising and you will be abrogating your responsibility to do a complete and detailed environmental impact report.
When you destroy open space and marshlands, you destroy forever.
Please don't use the media to bulldoze the voters in order to bulldoze our Baylands.
Yours faithfully,
Alice Schaffer Smith

Myself and 7 members of our Red Hat Chapter attended a Costume Party dressed as Laurel & Hardy and Charlie Chaplin - we were the standouts at the party in our black suits, white shirts, ties, topped off with the Derbies and fake mustaches. It surprised us all and we could not have been happier. Thanks to the Windy City inventory.

Cheers, ~Bruce
We had a great time in Portland staying in Bruce's place. The house really is beautiful -- a perfect old Portland craftsman -- and the location is great. The three bedrooms and private bath were just the right size for our family of four.
it is so nice place i like the house the room and the ling size bed. so nice place.
Great check in and check out experience with keyless entry.
Bruce was a friendly and personable host, who kept his house well maintained. Bedding and towels all well prepared. Cups ready for water. Easy street parking right infront of the house, in a safe neighborhood. Close drive to downtown Portland, and other surrounding areas full of good eats.
Would recommend to larger groups who like a homey classic home stay :)
Quaint house in a great location. Little awkward if you have a large loud family upstairs trying not to disturb guests downstairs. Loved the large tub upstairs. Central location made getting to airport and downtown easy. Bruce was very accommodating, but rarely seen on our Thanksgiving trip. Overall, would definitely stay there again.
Bruce was home and met me the first day. Great conversation, and he had lots of tips for things to do and see during our stay in Portland. The home is beautifully done, and furnished in such a way it feels as if you've gone back in time; except for the high-end appliances in the kitchen! Wish we'd cooked there!
The location was perfect. A quick hop from the airport, and a quick hop to downtown.
For my first AirBnB experience, Bruce was responsive and friendly throughout the process. I had several questions that were already answered in his description, but when I inquired via email he responded very quickly with the info.
Arrival and departure was easy, and is as "hands off" or "hands on" as you as the guest could want. The home itself is beautifully appointed and can seriously accommodate a lot of people comfortably. There's nothing missing from the accommodations I could have wanted for.
This was a long overdue "buddies" trip and his home was perfect for us - we're a bunch of 30-somethings who like the "good life" (i.e. we like comfy beds, and nicely furnished accommodations), but also wanted a more "homey" feeling - Bruce has a really nice, private, comfortable setup in a cute neighborhood that's close to lots of fun stuff (FOOD).
Long story short, for all kinds of small to medium groups and families, this place has exactly what you need.
My first experience with airbnb and it was a memorable one. The house was described modestly for how great it actually was. The kitchen was enviable and the bed was dreamy. All of us enjoyed our overnight stay and the location was close to where our class was held. I would highly recommend this place. The owner came by in the evening and it was nice to meet him.

Greetings! I call Portland home. Having worked in Television Broadcasting for 25 years as a Creative Director I have always had a passion for the arts, photography, design and remodeling my (website hidden), wine and traveling are also high on the passions list! My daughter Talia when not traveling somewhere exotic loves home and is an expert in raw food, good health coach and designer. She has also lived abroad and is following her passions in life.
Portland is a great creative town. An amazing amount of culture abound. Portlandia has definitely put us on the map. I love to travel and the best experience is feeling comfortable and welcome wherever you end up. Having lived abroad, traveling in New Zealand, Australia, Bali, and France I gained a fondness for guest houses, seeking out creative stays all along the adventure.
I am excited to share my beautiful home, some of my favorite restaurants and neighborhood highlights with new friends that I am looking forward to meeting ...and hearing where your travels have taken you!

Winter sowing poppies
Would it be better to winter sow poppies directly in the bed outside since they don't seem to like transplanting?
I have never had any luck with spring sowing poppies.
When I was first introduced to poppies, I was told to sprinkle the seed on the ground in the Fall, because it seems they need the cold period for germination. That's probably why spring sowing does not work. This winter I WSd poppies and planted them out, but it took them a bit longer than other plants to 'take off'. I've seen others advise to go the hunk o' seedlings route to ensure getting survival of planted out seedlings. This winter, I plan to direct sow and protect from the birds and elements with 2-litre pop bottles, then thin in the Spring if necessary. It should work. But I will also WS some in the pop bottles just to make sure.
My direct sown poppies do the best. They bloom much earlier than those sown in containers. I sowed them in Feb on freshly raked soil. I'll do that again next winter. I am saving some top soil just for that purpose. I covered the sown area with a hole -y plastic sheet - the Winter Sowing style:
Pit, can you explain your method a bit more? Do you just take a sheet of plastic put holes in it, and lay it on top of the ground, or is it elevated over the soil? Clear plastic?
You poppies are just great, and I can't tell you how many times I've tried them. My WS one that is left is still as small as it was in the pot, no growth at all.
One of our Winter Sowers made a photo essay called "Life of a Poppy Bed". She shared it with WinterSown because it so well shows the hunk-o-seedlings method for beds and it certainly is a great example. The photos in the link are thumbnails, you can click on them and they'll blow up into larger views.
Here is a link that might be useful: WildGarden's
When I recieved my seeds from poppy_power she advised me to direct sow them around Thanksgiving. I did and then come early spring I didn't see anything and so impatient as I am I direct sowed again in April. So now I can't tell ya if these gorgeous poppies are from the Nov. or Apr. sowing LOL!
All I did was sprinkle and walk away....the rain and snow would take care of the rest. I had mass thinning to do though, but that's ok. Also tried moving some tiny babies but they just killed off.
Thanks, April & Lynn.
I had to wait until Feb or early March, becuase I could not get a hold of any unfrozen top soil. I also was too busy sowing in Feb to pay attention to the outdoors.
I raked soil over an existing perennial bed, sowed my seeds. I placed some tomato cages sideway on the sown area. Poked holes in a sheet of clear plastic. Covered the tomato cages with the plastic. I used some bricks to hold down the edge of the plastic. This served two purposes: to keep squirrels out and keep the rain from washing away the seeds.
This method has worked best for me with poppies and some other annuals. The main reason is that my garden is already stuffed with perennials and bulbs. I cannot dig anywhere without cutting into any plant or bulb. I also am very busy in spring planting out a lot of my winter sown seedlings. Direct sowing helped lighten the load. It is also very easy. lol.
Here's the method that Pitimpinai is talking about...
Here is a link that might be useful: Tomato Cage Germination Tunnel
Pit and Judy,
Thanks for the explanations. I will try it next winter. I WILL HAVE POPPY SUCCESS, sometime in my lifetime.
I used tomato cases turned on their sides for my peas to climb on. By the time the peas were done, I took away the cage, and put it on one of the tomatoes. Worked great. Such versatile objects, those tomato cages!
Trudi, Thanks for the link to the tomato cage pictorial. That was very helpful. I have some really long Sterilite containers that I want to use this winter for sowing, but they don't have clear lids, and even with lids, not a lot of head room. The tomato cages and clear vinyl should work out really well. Now if I can just find some big pieces of clear vinyl.....
I WS my poppies, just because I need added control to protect them from animals and birds. I haven't had a problem with transplanting them yet, although I put them out while they are really small. Same with Lupine. They say it's difficult to transplant because of the taproot, but I've never had a problem with transplanting those either.
It's a matter really of what is going to fit your needs.
Like Sweet Peas...I could WS them (and have in the past, with success) but I direct sow them because I can get a better idea of the mass effect that way. Like Pit is doing with her poppies, I usually am planting Sweet Peas in places where there isn't room to really dig, so I prefer direct sowing them.
Wow- I had total failure with sweet peas and poppies this year. I was just gonna chock it up to the fact that I may be too hot here for them? None of my oriental poppies have ever taken offand I direct sowed a TON of seeds for annual poppies. Got one or two sad little flowers. As for the sweet peas, I wsed and direct sowed, and they all came up, but no blooms. I love them both so much- so sad for me. maybe I'll try direct sowing the poppies again. We had a wierd spring this past year, so maybe it was the reason?
I had great luck this year doing both DS and WS. Last year I failed miserably. My own personal tactic & observations:
New bed: No 'preparation' at all, simply tossed down a load of compost onto the lawn. Can't prep, anyway, since it's over the leach field. No digging allowed ;)
DS most in early March.
Hosed the bed down a couple times, otherwise, Ma Nature watered for me.
WS a couple of containers sometime in Winter for comparison.
When it looked like nothing was happening in the DS bed, I planted out the couple of containers of WS ones that I did. The trick with Poppies seems to be to get them in the ground as soon as possible, and I planted mine out when they were no more than 1" tall. Last year I waited until I thought they were 'big enough,' and that was too late.
The DS ones finally showed up in May amongst a bed of weeds. Had to look close- almost gave up on them!
Kept bed weeded.
Eventually, they all showed up, and are doing fabulously. The WS ones are still out-performing the rest, but because the bed is so large, I'll likely just let them reseed this year, and not WS. Have lots of other spaces that I need to tend to; one less thing to think about.
Picture can be found over on the "Latest Poppies" thread, and my source of oodles of varieties of seed was eBay (seller name: OneStopPoppyShop).
Have fun- it's well worth the effort!
April, I now have the results from my WS Poppy trial. I had my first bloom today only, July 3 which is quite late. The plants are about half the size they should be and still a bit floppy and the flower, though pretty, is only about 1 inch in diameter!! So from all the posts and my trial, I will direct seed in future, or if I WS, get the plants in very early as the last post said. I waited until my plants were a bit bigger and planted them out on May 28. Here's a pic of my first bloom. It's so floppy it needed to be staked so I could get the pic.
Thanks for the info. Trudi. I'm new to poppies and after your comment, I've done some research and discovered the wonderful world (so large) of poppies. I'm so fortunate to be still learning. I've discovered that the lovely blooms I have in my garden are Oriental poppies. I WS'd some seeds this year as a gift to a newly married couple who admired them in my garden. I will definitely try some of the Papaver sp. next winter. They make a beautiful annual splash.

The Art of Cinema
With the Sundance Film Festival coming to town again, my friend Joel Addams decided to put together a rad show of paintings that are connected to film. Here is a news piece KSL did on the event.
This is a painting I did during Grad School. I was trying to infuse film into my work so I started with an image from a movie scene that hit me. Since then I have taken bits and pieces from scenes but haven't painted any directly as this one.

We are surrounded by systems. Some of these systems function to a degree of order and others to a degree of disorder. There seems to be a randomness as to why one operates as it should while others fail. There is a lack of predictability to it all.
As a young man, I went to an art school without any preconceived ideas and it exceeded any expectations I could have ever imagined. I was introduced to amazing artists who were confident and willing to share the knowledge they had acquired along their journey. They became life long mentors.
A few years later, I went to graduate school. With the previous experience I had expectations as to what art school was "supposed to be." I was shocked at what I was confronted with. Professors full of excuses, limited experience, apathy, and suspicion. It was a disappointment to say the least.
Why did one function so well, while the other failed? This painting was a reflection on those experiences. Entropy, 40"x 46", oil on canvas.

So it Begins...
Rite of Passage. Life is full of many "starts and stops." We often compare our successes or failures to those who are taking a journey at the same time as we are. To not fall into that type of thinking pattern is very difficult in our culture. I thought about the competitive nature of our society and the feelings that arise when we are about to start a race at the same time as other people, as I painted this piece. The people I really admire, are the ones that are able to look past comparisons and focus on bettering themselves without having to be better than those around them.
So it Begins, Oil on Canvas, 36"x 48". Available at Terzian Galleries.

Silence the Doubters
This painting references back to early adolescence. I was a small kid. As a ninth grader I was often confused with seventh graders, which never felt good. In a photography class I was getting teased for being so short, one kid named Phil Hansen said, "I bet you can't even jump and touch the fire sprinkler on the ceiling." Well I wasn't going to walk away from a dare, so I took two steps and to the surprise of the crowd I jumped and touched the sprinkler hanging down from the 9 1/2 foot ceiling. I had impressed my classmates, but unknowingly set off the fire alarm. I ended up in the Vice Principal's office and she gave me 10 hours detention, which was basically cleaning up trash for two hours after school for a week. Strangely, as I look back, I don't remember any of the punishment, but I will never forget the expression on Phil Hansen's face after proving him wrong.
Silence the Doubters, Oil on Canvas, 40"x40". Sold at Terzian Gallery.

Nestled between Switzerland and Austria, the tiny nation of Liechtenstein is blessed with outstanding natural beauty and a beloved Crown Prince. The idyllic setting is an almost surreal hideaway nestled in the Rhine Valley, with villages tumbling down lush rolling mountains.
Insider Tip: The Relais & Chateaux Park Hotel Sonnenhof has an enviably superior perch overlooking the entire city of Vaduz below. The family-run property is an institution with a Michelin-star restaurant, spa, and spacious suites facing snow-capped mountains. Grab lunch at legendary Restaurant Torkel, where the chef is the seventh generation to offer fine dining amidst the Crown Prince's vineyards.

Where: Aeolian Islands
A luxurious Italian island, Panarea is the getaway of choice for the glitterati. Unlike more upscale Capri and Sardinia, Panarea is a haven of understated pedigree and elegance. Panarea is a no-car island, so you'll have to hike or take a golf cart to see the Bronze Age ruins. The island earned a UNESCO World Heritage Site distinction in 2000, which has helped preserve Panarea's original charm. Also be sure to make time for a scuba diving excursion that will allow you to explore a shipwreck off the coast.
Insider Tip: The second smallest of the eight Aeolian Islands, Panarea is highly exclusive and thus, a favorite vacation spot for celebrities. You'll want to make reservations well in advance, but the island does offer some surprisingly affordable accommodations.

Where: Maine
Tourism is low-key yet wildly rewarding in this northern U.S. locale. Lubec's historical harmony with the sea and its close ties to the Canadian Maritimes are securing its future as a peaceful retreat to escape from modern life.
Insider Tip: With a wealth of picturesque waterfront cottages and chalet accommodations, you'll have plenty of options when it comes to where to stay. Peacock House is a blissful sanctuary complete with a piano, fireplace, and airy deck, located minutes from West Quoddy Lighthouse and Campobello Island.

"Very Proper"
Major Pettigrew was a very proper country gentleman. Appearances were important to him, but he learns that appearances can be deceiving. The characters in this book are very well developed and it a worthwhile read.
"Intriguing Storyline"
The storyline was intriguing, but lacking a bit in character development. I did have a hard time understanding the reader at times (but that could just be my poor hearing). Suspenseful at times, but a little redundant.
Awesome reader! The voice truly reflects Jack Reacher and his no nonsense approach to everything is refreshing. I love the fact that he "lives off the grid," and yet is a very caring character.
"#1 on my list for this year"
Listening to this book transported me from my car to the African bush. Simon Vance was so authentic in his reading that I felt as though I were listening to the author. The interactions with the elephants were beautiful and, at times, frightening. The love that Lawrence Anthony had for these and all creatures was apparent as he often risked his life for theirs. Thula Thula is a place that I would love to visit.

Do Rabbits Eat Potato Plants?
I have a new garden area dedicated to potatoes. The fence around it should keep deer out, but it's not yet rabbit, hare, or woodchuck proof.
Anybody know how eagerly rabbits and woodchucks will attack the green growing parts of the potato plant? Aren't they in the nightshade family and does that make them resistant to rabbit damage? Or am I just hoping for the impossible?
I can't seem to find this addressed on the internet; only about insect damage to potatoes. I do remember my neighbor years ago had deer eating his potato plants...but then deer seem to eat most ANYTHING! But do rabbits & woodchucks?
Yes, rabbits will eat potato leaves, especially young rabbits. They learn what to eat by nibbling everything. I lost a good crop of potatoes until I got a dog and let him loose in the garden. I was also shocked when all of my apricot foxgloves were eaten, stripped right down to the stems. More so if there is a large population and they are hungry. They will eat almost anything. If you google rabbit proof plants, they will list all of the garden flower types that they don't like. Maybe you could companion plant or spray a rabbit repellent on the leaves.
Thanks for the info!
I'll add chickenwire (rabbitwire) around the base of the base of the garden fence. Right now it has a gap under the bottom where rabbits can slip under.

"The description does not do this book Justice!!!!!"
I purchased this book because of 2 things, the high rating and it was on sale. I read the description and would not have bought based solely on that. After I began to listen, I wondered why the description wasn't better and why haven't my children read this. I asked them and they all said they did and it was great. I said why didn't you tell me??? They said everyone at school (High School) said it was really good and so they read it. So then when it was over I went on and see there is 2 more books, I bought both of them and am excited to get started. I highly recommend this book. It is one of those, for me, that I didn't want to stop listening.
"Similar feel of Orwell's 1984"
I like it...well written - good story, a "page turner" for people like myself who enjoy the futuristic genre. Although somewhat formulaic at times, I could still get lost in the unfolding events. It wasn't very deep, but certainly thought provoking. I'd place it amongst my favorite reads. One word - Entertaining.
"I couldn't stop listening"
I bought this book because it was a Nancy Pearl recommendation and it sounded intriguing. A post-apocalyptic story in which teenagers are chosen by lottery and forced to fight to the death? How could that be anything but depressing? The book was not at all what I was expecting. This is a great story with unforgettable and well-developed characters that looks what happens when the people with power do everything they can to force others into submission through fear and intimidation.
In spite of everything that the main character goes through, she manages to retain her humanity and her sense of right and wrong. Part of what keeps Katniss on track is her relationship with her fellow competitor, Peeta whose kindness and devotion are so strong that Katniss it helps her see things more clearly. Although this book is intended for teenage readers, I found myself in love with the characters and hooked on this unusual coming of age story.
Now I can't wait to see what happens in the next two books.
"Makes you hunger for more"
Far more sophisticated than it's detractors realize, crafted to do just exactly what it does - engage hold and entertain. All the wonder I felt reading as a child found here again. As simply sumptuous as any I have ever read, ever.
"Shockingly AMAZING!"
It's a slow starter..but becomes overwhelmingly wonderful. I couldn't stop listening, cutting into sleep time. You will not be disappointed. Book 2 so far is just as good.
I bought this one while it was on sale because it is all the rage at my child's middle school. I listened to it first because I wanted to make sure it would be appropriate. I enjoyed it so much that I promptly purchased the second and third and now my child and I are listening together.
"Loved it!"
I loved this story! The narrator did a good job with it too! I couldn't put my mp3 player down!
"YA Book for sure"
Differently a YA book. Glad I listen to it to discuss with my niece. I won't listen to the other two unless I just can't find anything else to listen to. HA!!! like that's going to happen.
"Moved to print version"
I know this is probably a matter of taste, but for me, the narrator's voice was distracting. The main character of Katniss became less likeable the more this narrator voiced her thoughts. Katniss wouldn't have a petulant tone; she's a very "can do" type of personality.
So, I will be switching over to a print version for the subsequent novels in the series. Which is a shame; it was making my commute a blur.
Alpaca farmer, gardener, poet. Loves reading & listening to books, music, writing, and learning. Life is good!
"Pleasantly surpised"
I took a chance on this book because I typically don't listen to or read post-apocalyptic or YA books, but the reviews encouraged me to give it a chance. I'm glad I did. I enjoyed the story, as dark as it was. To me, the author nailed the suspension of disbelief. The story moved along smoothly and I cheered on the characters as if I knew them myself. Well worth the listen. I look forward to listening to the next two books in the series.

What does flooring have to do with ABW??
A collaboration between designer Karen Choi and Interface for the CIP commercial space, reveals the answer...
The German kitchen range is now available in Singapore exclusively at Interior Affairs.
Pronorm's highly versatile and sustainable kitchen ranges can now be found at Interior Affairs, and there are 3 product lines to choose from.
The Y-line is a modern and handle-less design that combines simplicity and functionality in a single set-up, making it ideal for spatially-challenged kitchens.
The Proline works on a grid-planning system that gives customers the freedom to adjust the height of all base and wall units to suit individual ergonomic needs and preferences. The larger standard base unit and narrower plinth not only results in a cleaner aesthetic, but also provides more storage space compared to the average kitchen unit.
The Classicline range allows for high level of modification and customisation. It offers a wide selection of colours, handles and fittings, and a choice of a modern or classic aesthetic.

Using an H50 with an i7-930, GB DDR3, Win 7 Pro 64-bit. Running at stock speed for now, but I think I made the right choice. Sexy and it works well. Glad to see it did so well in the tests. Interesting to see that the coolers tested, although new, didn't push the state of the art.

None of these coolers are particularly "new" as stated in the comment above. The Gelid cooler is the newest of the bunch, but it's about 4-6 months old (I think). The Buffalo is probably the "oldest" being at least a year old (I think), the the Transformer4 is someplace in the middle, about 8-10 months old (I think). My memory sucks, that's why I have so many "I think" disclaimers in there. LOL All the reviews I've seen of the Transformer4 conclude the performance would be greatly enhanced by using some stronger fans. Are there any reviews where some high CFM fans were strapped on the Transformer? I'd really like to see what this cooler could do with two fans pushing 90cfm+.

The Rangers sent their No. 3 and No. 4 prospects down to Minor League camp along with four other players. Neither player took part in the club's 3-2 loss to the Angels on Saturday.
After hitting .267 with 14 home runs during an injury-plagued season for Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach, Olt recovered well during the Arizona Fall League. He batted .349 with 13 homers in 27 games there, parlaying the experience into an invitation to Major League camp.
Olt did not perform as well offensively this spring, hitting .200 with three extra-base hits in 17 games. Normally a third baseman, the 23-year-old played six games at first base as the team attempts to increase his versatility. He made one error in 23 innings there while playing flawless defense in 45 frames at the hot corner.
"He's a baseball player," manager Ron Washington told MLB.com. "He can play third base, he has a good arm and tremendous raw power. He just need to go out and play."
Martin posted slightly better offensive numbers in Spring Training, batting .222 with a pair of homers in 16 contests. Signed by the Rangers as a non-drafted free agent in 2011, the 24-year-old outfielder worked his way up from Double-A to the Majors last year in his first professional season. He batted .295 with four homers and 19 steals in the Minors, then hit .375 in eight big league games.
Among the other Rangers cuts was No. 20 prospect Engel Beltre, who the team obtained from the Red Sox in the 2007 trade that sent Eric Gagne to Boston. After going a combined 1-for-23 in his last two Spring Training experiences, Beltre went 6-for-24 with six RBIs this time around.
"He has shown some maturity," Washington told MLB.com. "His game is much better than it was the past two years. I think he's back to being a big part of the Texas Rangers. He handled himself well compared to the first two years. He wasn't overwhelmed. He felt he belonged."

Samsung Galaxy Note EdgeCompare9 reviewThe Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is a unique device and a first for Samsung: it comes with a screen that curves towards one of the edges of the phone and allowing users to quickly glance at notifications and also use this area to add more controls to the device. The Galaxy Note Edge is a phablet at heart: it packs a 5.6-inch 1440 x 2560-pixel (Quad HD) display. It's also got a powerful Snapdragon 805 system chip and a 16-megapixel OIS camera.+ View Specs
9Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
LG G2 miniCompare6 reviewAs the G2 mini's name implies, the phone is significantly smaller than the LG G2. If you simply don't need its gigantic 5.2" display, you can probably settle with the G2 mini's still-sizable 4.7" panel. At 540 x 960 pixels, though, the 234 ppi pixel density is by no means rivaling the level of clarity observed with today's 720p or 1080p displays. Other than the size difference, the G2 mini looks almost exactly like its bigger sibling. The plastic material from which the G2 mini's body is made isn't particularly fancy, though. It's a very basic, matte type of plastic. The good news is that the G2 mini is coming with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. The Snapdragon 400 CPU in the phone is clocked at 1.2 GHz, and sports a low-end Adreno 305 GPU. There's 1GB RAM in the G2, along with 8 gigs of storage space. The Snapdragon version of the phone has an 8-megapixel main camera, and a 1.3MP front camera. All in all, this phone is best described as a watered-down LG G2.+ View Specs
6LG G2 mini
Sony Xperia Z3Compare8.5 reviewThe Xperia Z3 is Sony's thinnest Android flagship to date, with a profile that measures in at just 7.3 millimeters. Despite the slender build, however, the Z3 still packs some amazing hardware, including a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, 3GB of RAM, and a great, 20.7-megapixel camera.+ View Specs
8.5Sony Xperia Z3
Sony Xperia Z3 CompactCompare9 reviewThe Sony Xperia Z3 Compact offers a 4.6-inch screen, with resolution of 720 x 1280. A quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 CPU is under the hood, along with the Adreno 330 GPU. 2GB of RAM is inside, and a 20.7MP snapper adorn the rear of the phone. The front-facing camera weighs in at 2.2MP.+ View Specs
9Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
Huawei Honor 6CompareThe Huawei Honor 6 (codenamed 'Mulan') features a 5-inch 1080 x 1920-pixel Full HD display, an 8-core Kirin 920 processor clocked at 1.3GHz per core, 3GB of RAM, and a 13MP main camera, as well as a secondary 5MP one.+ View Specs
Huawei Honor 6
HTC One maxCompare8.3 reviewClad in an aluminum body, the HTC One Max looks like a natural addition to the One and One mini - three's a family, and now HTC has most every market niche covered. It's not a unibody design, though, so thankfully you can pry off the battery cover and add a microSD card for more storage to load all those movies you are going to carry. The battery compartment is sealed, but it's a 3300 mAh unit, so no sweat, at least until we do the first battery tests. The phablet is not for the faint of heart, though, as with its 164.5 x 82.5 x 10.29 mm dimensions and 217g of weight, it is one "supersized" handset, as HTC itself is calling it in the description. You get your excellent BoomSound speakers at the front, but the back strays away from the One portfolio design paradigm, adding a flat and square fingerprint scanner, which can unlock your handset or start up to three favorite applications immediately upon touching it with three different fingerprints - a pretty svelte idea.+ View Specs
8.3HTC One max
Samsung Galaxy S5 miniCompareThe Galaxy S5 mini is shaped in the same design language as the S5 with the perforated soft-touch back, and it is also water and dust protected with IP67 certification. It is powered by a 1.4GHz CPU and 1.5GB of RAM for efficient multitasking. Internal storage comes in at 16GB and you can expand on that via microSD cards of up to 64 gigs. The battery on it is a 2100mAh one, and it is easily removable. It's also worth pointing out that the S5 mini will have a dual SIM model in select markets.+ View Specs
Samsung Galaxy S5 mini
HTC One (M8)Compare8.8 reviewThe new HTC One (M8) comes with a radically different than all else 'Duo' camera (this refers to the two rear cameras on its back) that allows you things like selecting the focus of an image after you capture it.The new One also comes with the latest Snapdragon 801 quad-core system chip, an even more intense aluminum unibody construction, and 25% more powerful BoomSound front-facing stereo speakers. And it's not just that - HTC has improved the phone all around, even adding expandable storage via microSD cards of up to 128 gigs. Actually, the only change we can think of in the new One that could possibly bring forth some negativism is the increased overall footprint of the device - it's just larger and a bit bulkier.+ View Specs
8.8HTC One (M8)
Motorola DROID TurboCompare9.2 reviewPacking arguably one of the best hardware combinations available at the moment, the natural habitat of the Motorola DROID Turbo is somewhere near the very top of Mount Android, thanks to the 5.2-inch Quad HD display, the power-laden 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805, the 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, the 21MP rear snapper capable of shooting 4K video clips, and the humongous, "two-day" 3,900mAh battery inside.+ View Specs
9.2Motorola DROID Turbo
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4Compare9 reviewThe Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a high-end product that uses Samsung's latest octa-core Exynos 5420 SOC, while its Super AMOLED display has 1600 x 2560 pixels resolution. Android 4.4 KitKat, Magazine UX and 3GB of RAM are also among the features. Design-wise, the tablet borrows elements from Samsung's Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone.+ View Specs
9Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4
Xiaomi Mi-3CompareThe Xiaomi MI-3 is a very slim 8.1mm handset that features a 5-inch 1080p display and the latest Nvidia Tegra 4 chip with amazing graphics capabilities and 2GB of RAM. What's most impressive, though, is its price. The Xiaomi Mi-3 price is set at 1999 yuan ($327) off contract for the most basic 16GB model.+ View Specs
Xiaomi Mi-3
Samsung Galaxy Grand 2Compare8.5 reviewSamsung's Galaxy Grand successor, aptly named Galaxy Grand 2, sports a larger, higher resolution display, quad-core processor, larger 2600 mAh battery, plus an additional half a gig of RAM, for a total of 1.5 GB. It has a slightly increased screen diagonal - 5.25" vs 5" for the original Grand, 8 MP camera with a LED flash, 8 GB of internal memory plus a microSD slot for expansion, and runs Android 4.3. The device is a dual SIM phone.+ View Specs
8.5Samsung Galaxy Grand 2
Samsung Galaxy AlphaCompare8.8 reviewApart from the metal frame, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha looks a lot like the Galaxy S5 in terms of design with similarly position buttons and overall styling. Hardware-wise the phone features a 4.7-inch 720p display, Exynos 5 Octa SOC with four cores running at 1.8GHz and four more at 1.3GHz, and 2GB of RAM. The build-in storage is 32GB and can't be expanded via MicroSD. There is 12 megapixels camera on the back (capable of 4K video recording), as well as 2.1 front shooter. The Galaxy Alpha is running Android 4.4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz.+ View Specs
8.8Samsung Galaxy Alpha
Google Nexus 6Compare9 reviewThe Nexus 6 is powered by the Snapdragon 805 system chip, the jewel in Qualcomm's 32-bit crown. This is the last iteration of Qualcomm's Krait CPU core architecture, with four cores running at up to 2.65GHz, along with 3GB of RAM, and Adreno 420 graphics. The devices sports a 5.96" AMOLED screen with 1440x2560 pixels resolution, a 13-megapixel shooter capable of capturing 4K videos, a secondary 2-megapixel unit can be found on the front alongside the two front facing speakers.+ View Specs
9Google Nexus 6
Samsung Galaxy S5Compare9.1 reviewWith a 5.1" 1080p screen, 16 MP camera and 2 GB of RAM, the Galaxy S5 might not be the utmost specs beast that the Android world has to offer, but it comes with plenty of new features, both in comparison with its predecessor, the S4, and when measured up to the other flagships. The heart beat sensor, for instance, is unique for the Galaxy S5, while something like the Finger Scanner can also be observed on the iPhone 5s, but in a rather different implementation. Samsung also introduced two new launch colors, including Copper Gold, and a brand new perforated design for the rear cover. The addition of Snapdragon 801 chipset brings on LTE-A download speeds, and 4K video recording, to an already superb handset.+ View Specs
9.1Samsung Galaxy S5
Motorola Moto ECompare9 reviewThe Moto E continues on the design legacy of the Moto X and Moto G, with a similar slightly chubby, curvy form with a dimple on the back. The handset comes with a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels (qHD). This might sound low on paper, but on this small screen, it works out to the very sharp pixel density of 256ppi. Best of all, the Moto E runs on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat. The little new Moto features a Snapdragon 200 system chip with 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex A7-based processor and an Adreno 302 GPU. There's 1GB of RAM, and a scarce 4GB of internal storage (only 2.2GB available to end users!) that you can, luckily, expand via microSD cards. It's also got a 5-megapixel camera (no flash in sight) capable of recording videos with 480 x 854-pixel resolution at 30 frames per second.+ View Specs
9Motorola Moto E
LG G Pro 2Compare9 reviewThe LG G Pro 2 is, more or less, the LG G2's larger "cousin". As such, it has adopted the unorthodox placement of the power and volume keys. Buttons aside, the LG G Pro 2 is a plastic-made device with a solid, reassuring feel. The LG G Pro 2 is wield-able, but operating it with a single hand is rather difficult. It is equipped with a gorgeous 1080p IPS panel. It ships with the latest version of Android – 4.4 KitKat. It has the new KnockCode feature, which allows one to set their own tapping pattern for unlocking the device. Another celebrated by PhoneArena feature is the IR blaster, which allows you to take control of your TV, air conditioner, DVD player, and more. A 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, and 3 gigs of RAM keeps the G Pro 2 running and gunning. The internal storage is 32GB. The LG G Pro 2's 13-megapixel camera now touts LG's improved OIS+ technology, 4K resolution video, slow-motion recording, Natural Flash, Magic Focus, and more. Ultimately, the LG G Pro 2 is a great device.+ View Specs
9LG G Pro 2
Samsung Galaxy Note 4Compare9.3 reviewThe Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is the fourth instalment in the Note phablet series. It brings a much sharper, 5.7-inch 1440 x 2560-pixel (Quad HD) display, a powerful Exynos 5433 8-core system chip running at up to 1.9GHz, 3GB of RAM and a plentiful 32GB of internal storage in the basic model. The Note 4 is also the first in the Note series to get optical image stabilization for its main camera. In the Note 4, there is a 16-megapixel cam and a 3.7-megapixel front shooter for more detailed selfies.+ View Specs
9.3Samsung Galaxy Note 4
OnePlus OneCompare8.6 reviewThe OnePlus One sports the most powerful bin of Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974-AC), clocked at 2.5GHz, 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 3100 mAh cell. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, 2.4G/5G Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0. Wrapped within a magnesium chassis, the One is a relatively compact 5.5-incher, measuring 152.9 x 75.9 x 8.9 mm, and weighing just 162 grams. The 1080x1920 pixel resolution screen is literally slapped on top of the chassis, so the top and bottom bezels are actually recessed. At the back we have a 13-megapixel Sony IMX214 sensor with 6 lenses and a wide, f/2.0 aperture. Lastly, the OnePlus One is powered by a customized version of CyanogenMod OS, which has been redesigned with a minimal, completely flat UI.+ View Specs
8.6OnePlus One
Google Nexus 5Compare9.5 reviewThe Nexus 5 is an affordable device packing top-shelf specs. Made in collaboration with Google and LG, the Nexus 5 runs on the newest Android 4.4 KitKat. It is a solid performer featuring a Snapdragon 800 system chip and 2GB of RAM. It is also the first Nexus to put the focus on camera performance as it comes with an 8-megapixel shooter with optical image stabilization (OIS).+ View Specs
9.5Google Nexus 5
LG G FlexCompare8.5 reviewThe LG G Flex is a smartphone curved to follow the contour of the face. It also features the rear key first introduced in the LG G2, as well as a "Self Healing" coating on the back cover. On the specs side it includes a 6'' curved P-OLED display with 720 x 1280 px resolution, 2.26 GHz quad core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 gigs of RAM, 32 GB storage space, 13 MP rear camera and 2.1 MP front one, all that run by Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2.+ View Specs
8.5LG G Flex
Sony Xperia Z3vCompare8.5 reviewThe Sony Xperia Z3v is a model made exclusively for Verizon. It offers a 5.2 inch Triluminos screen with resolution of 1080 x 1920. A quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 is under the hood with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of native storage. A 128GB capacity microSD slot is available for those who need more memory. The rear-facing camera weighs in at 20.7MP (with 4K video recording) and a 3200mAh battery keeps the lights on for as long as three days. With its IP68 certification, the Sony Xperia Z3v offers protection from dust and water. And the phone can connect to a PlayStation 4 Dual-Shock controller to play the console's games.+ View Specs
8.5Sony Xperia Z3v
Motorola Moto X (2014)Compare8.8 reviewWith the new Moto X we are getting a 5.2-inch AMOLED display running at 1080p, a customized Snapdragon 801 clocked at 2.5GHz, 2GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel camera, and a 2300mAh battery. The device measures 72.4 x 140.8mm (~2.85 x 5.54-inches) and the width ranges from 3.8 mm (0.15-inches) at the edge to 9.9mm (0.39-inches) at in the middle, and it will weigh 144 g (5.08oz). Sadly, the back logo is not a button, although it does look like one. But, the edge-to-edge design means that Motorola has been able to fit a slightly larger display in the same device width as the Samsung Galaxy S5.+ View Specs
8.8Motorola Moto X (2014)
LG G3Compare9.2 reviewThe new LG G3 flagship sports 5.5-inch, 1440 x 2560 (QHD) pixel resolution screen, which provides the super-crisp, 538 pixels per inch. Dimensions are pretty compact for the screen size, resulting in excellent 76.4% screen to body size ratio. The Android 4.4 KitKat-based handset is powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 801 and 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM. It features 32GB of internal storage and a microSD slot. The main 13-megapixel rear shooter comes with the company's improved Optical Image Stabilization+ and has a laser auto focus assist beam, which delivers fast focus even in low light scenarios. The 2.1-megapixel front-facing cam comes with an "enhanced selfie mode".+ View Specs

8.8Sony Xperia T2 Ultra
Sony Xperia Z2Compare9.2 reviewThe water and dust-resistant Xperia Z2 comes only six months after the previous Xperia Z1 flagship was released. Although it's quick update, the Xperia Z2 features a larger, 5.2-inch IPS display that boasts a new imaging technology, called Live Color LED. Of course, the screen is not the only improvement over its predecessor. Although it's even thinner and lighter, the Xperia Z2 runs on the brand new 2.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chipset, paired with a fantastic 3 GB of RAM. The 20.7MP camera on its back is capable of 4K recording, slow-motion video, and adding real-time effects. Stereo speakers are now available, as well as noise cancellation and many more software and hardware extras. The Xperia Z2 is powered by a 3200mAh battery, which considerably improves talk time. It runs the latest Android version, 4.4 KitKat. All things considered, the Z2 is an improvement in every way.+ View Specs

Sony Xperia Z1 CompactCompare9 reviewAll the great things we were hearing about the mini version of the Xperia Z1 heading for the international markets, turned out true. Dubbed xperia Z1 Compact, it is much, much smaller than the Z1, as it carries a 4.3" 720p display, but keeps the same outstanding set of specs, most importantly the same 20 MP camera module with Sony's G Lens set.+ View Specs

Motorola Moto GCompare9 reviewLooking at its specs sheet, we're surprised to see how much bang the Moto G can deliver for its money. First and foremost, our eyes are treated to a 4.5-inch "edge-to-edge" LCD display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. This gives us a figure of around 329ppi, which nothing short of great given the phone's cost. A layer of Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen against light scratches. Then there's the processor ticking inside of the Moto G – a 1.2GHz, quad-core Snapdragon 400 silicon, which is no slouch by any means. 1GB of RAM is available on the device.+ View Specs

Sony Xperia M2Compare5 reviewThe Sony Xperia M2 has grown considerably, and its display now measures in at 4.8-inches. In comparison, the amount of pixels went through only a minor update - a 540x960 qHD resolution. The processor, now a respectable 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400, has also seen an upgrade, and allows the Xperia M2 to hook up to a 4G LTE network. While on the topic of connectivity, its worth pointing out that the M2 will also come in a dual SIM version. The rest of the hardware highlights include an 8-megapixel camera, with Sony's proven Exmor RS sensor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, and a fairly large, 2300mAh battery. The M2 will come in the three signature Xperia colors: black, white and purple, and will see a global launch starting April 2014.+ View Specs
