Kia gave the Sorento SUV a thorough makeover last year, enhancing its chassis, engines and interior. For 2015, the Sorento continues with only a few minor improvements designed to make it even more appealing to tech- and fashion-conscious buyers. The Sorento's 7-passenger flexibility makes it ideal for growing families, but Kia also offers a 5-passenger option that allows for more generous permanent cargo space. Although the Sorento scores big in the areas of power, safety and fuel economy, its biggest attraction is the amazing amount of features offered for the money. Because of its flexible seating, the Sorento can be cross-shopped with a number of popular models, including the Ford Edge, Dodge Journey, Toyota Highlander and Nissan Pathfinder.
If you're looking for a 7-passenger crossover SUV big on comfort, safety, style and in-cabin technology, the 2015 Kia Sorento ranks among the best in class.
If you need an SUV that can tow heavy loads and fit two grown adults in its third-row seat, the Sorento probably won't work for you. A larger SUV, such as a Honda Pilot, Chevrolet Traverse or GMC Yukon, might make a better choice.
out of 24Fuel Economy
out of 25Horsepower
Changes to the Kia Sorento SUV for 2015 are mild and include minor alterations to the grille and front end, the addition of a navigation option without having to upgrade to UVO and the Infinity sound system, and a more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine.
Driving Impressions While the Kia Sorento for 2015 may not have the vast interior space of some competitors, it gains advantages from its more maneuverable size and sporty chassis. Seven inches shorter...... and with a smaller wheelbase than the Honda Pilot, the Sorento has no problem fitting into tight parking spaces and its tight turning radius makes it less ponderous when negotiating crowded parking structures. Get the Sorento out on the open road and the 290-horsepower V6 and seamless-shifting 6-speed automatic deliver smooth and responsive performance, yet return surprisingly good fuel economy figures. On our long-term test drive, we found the Sorento's seats to be comfortable and supportive and the driving experience very relaxing, with none of the fatigue that is sometimes a trait of larger, truck-like SUVs.
UVO eSERVICES
Kia's UVO voice-activated system allows for smartphone integration with the existing audio and navigation setup, allowing an owner to plot a trip from a home computer and then send that information to the car's navigation system. UVO can also automatically dial 911 in the event of an airbag deployment.
Kia's driver-selectable steering system, dubbed FlexSteer, allows for three settings: Comfort, Normal and Sport. Each setting is designed to enhance the driving experience, depending upon driver preference, although we found the Comfort mode to be the least artificial and most enjoyable of the three.
Interior highlights from the well-equipped 2015 Kia Sorento models we've driven include small touches, such as a leather transmission selector boot, and unexpected features, including an LCD speedometer, retractable 2nd-row window shades and a huge panoramic sunroof. Combined with a next-gen level of refinement for Kia, you'll have a hard time finding a nicer interior for the money. The Sorento definitely gives up some passenger and cargo room to just about every other 3-row SUV worth considering, but a rear seat that slides, reclines and folds down in 40/20/40 sections adds valuable flexibility. The optional third row is best reserved for little ones.Exterior
Subtle changes for the 2015 Sorento include a choice of anodized silver metal or black mesh grille and a wider crosshatch lower air intake. The Sorento's headlights offer an LED design element, the exterior mirrors will fold in at the push of a button and the exterior door pockets light up to welcome you back at night. Stepping all the way up to the SX Limited nets xenon HID headlights, unique 19-inch wheels and red brake calipers, but even the base models have a finished look that includes 17-inch aluminum wheels.
A base model 2015 Kia Sorento LX comes with a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive and two rows of cloth seats. Standard-feature highlights include Bluetooth and USB phone/audio connectivity, air conditioning, cruise control and steering wheel-mounted controls. Outside, alloy wheels, body-color side mirrors and LED taillights help the entry-priced Sorento present about as well as the pricier trim levels. The full complement of electronic and inflatable safety equipment is also standard.
A 2015 Kia Sorento SX has all of Kia's best features on display, including a powerful V6 engine and all-wheel drive, leather seats (heated and cooled in front), three rows of seating, a panoramic moonroof, keyless entry and touch-start, blind-spot monitoring and the full UVO eServices infotainment setup, including an 8-inch touch-screen display, navigation and a 10-speaker Infinity audio system. For an additional $3,000 you can step up to the SX Limited, with softer Nappa leather, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats and a handful of exterior touches.
Because the 4-cylinder engine isn't markedly cheaper or more efficient than the V6, and because the V6's 290 horsepower is a lot to feed through only the front wheels, we recommend the 2015 Kia Sorento with its new V6 engine and all-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive system features a locking center differential for especially difficult conditions and incorporates a new Torque Vectoring Cornering Control system that further enhances drivability. All Sorento configurations offer the same 6-speed, manually-selectable automatic transmission.
2.4-liter 4-cylinder
191 horsepower @ 6,300 rpm
181 lb-ft of torque @ 4,250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/27 mpg (front-wheel drive), 19/25 mpg (all-wheel drive)
3.3-liter V6

252 lb-ft of torque @ 5,200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/25 mpg (front-wheel drive), 18/24 mpg (all-wheel drive)
The 2015 Kia Sorento starts at a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $24,995 and climbs to just shy of $42,600 for the Nappa-leather-clad SX Limited specialty trim. That upper end sounds like a lot of money for a Kia, but the 2015 Sorento is a lot of car, both in features and refinement. Kia's dramatically improved resale values only bolster the Sorento's already-impressive value proposition.

"My primary reason for choosing Kia over other brands was the 100,000 mile warranty. Many dealerships of other brands offer the equivalent, but I was concerned with the trustworthiness of the dealerships and their service depts. At least with Kia, it is backed by the manufacturer, not just the local dealership. I just checked the trade in value of my car, in good condition, and it is less than half of what I paid for it in Nov 2012. The electronics are not great, which I have come to expect as standard. Navigation is not easily and regularly updated. My dealership acts like it is an act of personal sacrifice to do the major updates...it takes a while and they don't get to charge for them. The stereo/cd/aux/usb input is un. Just un. I suppose the sound is great (slightly hearing impaired), but a special cord is required for use with iPod, any other MP3 player is very limited feature. With my iPod, EVERY time I connect, I have to select random (b/c I like all of my music), otherwise, I listen to the exact same songs every time. It doesn't hold any type of memory, as far as I can tell. The OEM tires were practically useless. I lost traction on dry pavement frequently enough to be very concerned. On wet pavement, I lost traction at least once every single time! My replacement tires have been remarkable in comparison. They have finally given me some confidence in the car itself. Even though I have only had the replacement tires for a short time (less than 10,000 miles), my review of the traction/handling/stability will be based strictly on them. It is the only way I feel I can be fair, they have made such a significant difference! We have had a particularly cold/snowy winter and my Sorento has performed better than I have expected. The downhill assist was outstanding on my very long, very steep driveway! I didn't have much confidence using it, but it has completely exceeded my expectations. No chains or snow tires, just good all-season tires. The AWD has been very good, and the only times I lost traction enough to really feel it, were the result of my own errors. Not allowing speed/stopping distance based on the current road conditions. Headlights, fog lights, tail and brake lights: I have already replaced one headlamp, one fog lamp, and one marker/parking lamp. I believe that the failures were caused by the car's electrical/lighting system, not bulb failure. The dash lights auto-dim randomly, as if the headlights are being turned on/off. It has been a recurring problem that was initially thought to be related to one headlight assembly, but after it was replaced, I still have random dimming of the dash lights. I have not returned to the dealership regarding this problem. With those exceptions, the car has been very good. Unfortunately, the depreciation is disappointment enough for me not to recommend the car."

Does anyone use Reynolds Oven Bags?
Last year I swore I would never make another turkey, because every one I've made turns out horrible. Overcooked, undercooked, dry, stringy, you name it - blech!
And now I'm thinking about Thanksgiving - which I am actually looking forward to - and I think I might have to cave on that "No Turkey" resolution. A business associate mentioned that she always uses Reynolds Oven Bags and finds them foolproof but I am a little skeptical. Roasting in a plastic bag sounds kind of scary to me, both from a health and a taste veiwpoint.
What do you experts say? Does anyone use them?
Nicole : I don't know what you are doing wrong.
If you are afraid of using Oven Bags don't use them.
My wife used them often and everything cooked good.
Throw a roast in one, with flour and all the spices you like and let her rip!!! Cooks perfect.
I never cooked a Bad Turkey. I always use stuffing and stick a meat thermometer in it and cook till 175 Degs.
Sometimes I use a roasting pan with a lid , put some water in the pan. Take the lid off to brown ,if neccessary.
If you don't have a lid use alluminum foil.
I use them for brisket and it always comes out perfectly. No problems with the bag itself. I've never tried them for turkey because, thankfully, I've never had a problem. My standard recipe always turns out well (though it does call for a lot of butter & bacon so maybe that's why?)
Mostly use them for turkey, turkey breast, and brisket. My caterer friend cooks a turkey breast with 1" of water in the pan and only 'til the internal temp reaches 147F. The breast continues to cook after it is removed from the oven. Hers are always juicy and delicious.
Without a roasting bag, I think the key is lots o' butter and lots o' basting to have a really moist bird.
I always use an Oven Bag for turkey (whole turkey & turkey breasts). Depending on how large your turkey is, you can choose a pan that is closer to the size of the piece of meat, using a lasagna pan or a 9x13-inch cake pan, instead of a huge lidded roaster (saves a little room in the oven if you are baking other dishes at the same time).
The Oven Bag also makes clean-up much easier, and keeps the oven from getting splattered. You don't have to remember to baste the meat - it's self-basting.
After I flour the bag, I add coarsely chopped vegetables (1/2 an onion, 2 stalks celery - a good place to use the leafy portions of the tops of celery, 1 carrot, fresh parsley (optional), fresh or dried sage (or dried poultry seasoning), salt and pepper in the bottom of the bag. The vegetables aids to moisten the meat and add flavor to the drippings/broth that I drain from the bag and use for gravy.
After the meat is cooked to temperature, I remove the meat and allow it to sit covered with a tent of foil for 15 minutes or so before slicing.
In the meantime, tightly close the bag again, and with kitchen scissors snip a corner of the bag and drain the liquid into another container and toss the bag and veggies that are left in it into the trash after draining. If you make the turkey ahead of time, you can chill the broth and remove the fat. There's usually more than enough liquid for gravey and turkey stock for soup.
I lightly oil the meat before adding it to the bag.
Yes, I have used them in the past and they really make the turkey come out moist and delicious.
I think the key to a moist turkey, however, is not overcooking it. A meat thermometer can be your best friend.
I've used them in the past, but end up missing that crispy brown turkey skin (yes I know it's bad for you, but it's only once a year). I've read that using a roasting bag basically steams the turkey, which explains for how moist they are. Still, it's all good!
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to use a roasting bag and also brown the turkey? Maybe cut the bag off/back and let it roast for 30 min. at the end to brown?
I've done the brining before, but sometimes I just don't feel like bothering, plus all that salt concerns me.
I've used them and liked them. Yeah, it's weird to put plastic in the oven....but not any weirder (is that a word??) than silicone baking pans (which I don't use).
It makes a delicious, moist bird. Try one now and see how you like it. Try a chicken.
Mine has always browned pretty well right through the bag. And you can always remove the turkey for the last 10-15 minutes to brown more.
Nicole: You can do like grainlady said but stick a thermometer in also. If it not browned by 160 Degrees,
open the bag to brown.( Kathy )
It should brown well without doing that ( Denna )
Terasa: I don't baste too much. If it getting too brown ,I'll put a piece of foil on top.
I guess you have to know how to wing it.
I can't imagine cooking a turkey in a foil bag....
Turkey is so easy....just put it in a pan, perhaps add some onions, cover it and cook at 350 until an instant read thermometer reads 160 inserted into the breast.
You can do all sorts or high heat open pan, rubbing with this and that, injecting stuff....but follow my method and if your turkey isn't rotten to begin with....and I mean spoiled, it will be good....and perhaps wonderful.
Cooking bag? I don't think so!
Linda C
I use those Reynolds Oven Bag every thanksgiving and have for years and years. For me, it takes all the pressure out of the holiday. I folow the directions and when it Is supposed to be done I test it with an instant read thermometer. It is always ready and perfect and the skin is always beautifully brown and crispy. I can give my attention to every thing else like cranberry sauce from All things considered.
I have always used Reynolds oven bags for turkeys, turkey breasts, chickens, hams, and corned beef. They all come out really juice and tender. I have slit the bag 30 minutes before it should be done to crisp the skin, but I don't bother with that any more. No one in my family will eat the skin now. The skin does brown nicely in the bag if you brush it with a bit of oil before roasting.
I have used the bags before because we aren't interested in the brown crispy skin on a turkey. Just follow directions and they are teriffic if you use a thermometer so you don't overcook. Don't depend on those pop-up thingies some turkey breasts have. I now brine mine and it makes all the difference in the world in the moistness of the turkey.
Here is a link that might be useful: Alton Brown Brines a Turkey
I've used them for years myself. The skin does come out nicely browned, though not crispy, but I never eat the skin anyway. The turkey is very moist, plus - though I don't have the box in front of me right now - the cooking time is less. I discovered that one year when the turky was done WAY before anything else.
No bags for me. As mentioned above. You are really steaming it, not roasting. I like the flavor of the caramelized skin you get from beginning with high heat.
I don't baste but I do rub with melted butter, lots of butter. I think it's a waste of time and oven heat to open the oven over and over to baste. I use a meat thermometer to gauge when it's cooked through. My birds are juicy, whether they are turkey or chicken. I also buy a free range turkey because the flavor really is superior.
The only dry bird I had was when I tried the goofy upside down breast down method. What a mess that was! Homely and with dry stringy breast meat from being so close to the oven heating element. (Electric oven, maybe it's different with a convection or gas oven.)
I have never tried brining but I might this year if I can find a place to keep a large container cold enough.
Relax, cooking a turkey is easy and once it's in the oven you can ignore it and do all your other prep and have a glass of wine with your company.
Those Reynolds Cooking Bags are a wonderful invention. There is no mess, turkey is brown and it will never overcook even if you have to stall dinner a bit. It is an inexperienced cook's best friend. You can get it all ready to pop in the oven the night before. If you stuff it you must only add that to the cavity right before you pop it in the oven. I have cooked >20 lb turkeys this way many times. Try cooking pork, chicken, and beef with the bags.
It's me again, the OP. I don't know what my problem is w/cooking turkeys, I handle most other dishes just fine. As far as brining goes, that was the WORST! It was turkey tartare. The thermometer said it was done yet once we started carving it wasn't at all. So we sliced it and then put it back in the oven - eh.
Maybe I will try the bags, they sound pretty foolproof. I must admit, I am kind of intrigued with the high-heat method. I'm also hoping that I'll have better luck cooking a 12 lb. bird as opposed to the 22 lb. I usually attempt. Much smaller guest list this time!
I think a lot of my problem may be that I'm not putting the thermometer in the correct spot. I put it at the joint between the leg and the breast. My first year was a disaster because I was actually depending on those pop-up buttons.
Thanks for all of your feedback!
I would never use ANYTHING else !! If you want it to be crispy, coast the outside with Butter (or I use olive oil) and sprinkle with Salt, Pepper and Paprika. . Also put an apple cut in half inside the cavity and some onion and celery. This will assure a great taste and the apple makes it moist ! This is a never fail ! The clean up is awesome as well.
I see this thread is kind of old now, but besides all the personal opinions, does anybody know how to get that nice brown skin when using an oven bag?
When I make the turkey, the night before I take a few sticks of butter, a whole yellow onion and some spices and cook them all together. Then I take that and place it into a food processor until it becomes one homogenous mixture of sorts, then I place that into a large freezer bag and flatten it out in the fridge. I got this idea from Paula Dean. The next day when you are getting your turkey ready you use your fingers to gently separate the skin from the meat, and you slide in the hardened butter mixture in between the skin and the meat. This method works incredibly well for an oven bag or not, as it infuses the meat with a delicious flavor.
For people wary of the bag, the thing is fantastic! The meat comes out delicious and moist. It takes 4 hours as opposed to 8 hours to cook the turkey and needs no basting or any other fuss. I just wish it got that picture perfect browning to it, but we usually slice it up anyways so it isn't that big of a deal, but would like to hear any suggestions on how to attain this? I was thinking that maybe I should try cutting back the plastic for the last 20 or 30 minutes? I am just worried about drying the meat out :/

phased.ReceiverPreamp object enables you
to model the effects of gain and component-based noise on the signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) of received signals.
phased.ReceiverPreamp operates
on baseband signals. The object is not intended to model system effects
at RF or intermediate frequency (IF) stages.
phased.ReceiverPreamp object has the following
modifiable properties:
EnableInputPort — A logical
property that enables you to specify when the receiver is on or off.
Input the actual status of the receiver as a vector to
This property is useful when modeling a monostatic radar system. In
a monostatic radar, it is important to ensure the transmitter and
receiver are not operating simultaneously. See
phased.Transmitter and Transmitter.
Gain — Gain in dB
LossFactor — Loss factor
in dB.
NoiseFigure — Receiver
noise figure in dB
ReferenceTemperature —
Reference temperature of the receiver in kelvin
EnableInputPort — Add
input to specify when the receiver is active
PhaseNoiseInputPort —
Add input to specify phase noise for coherent on receive receiver
SeedSource — Enables you
to specify the seed of the random number generator
The noise figure is a dimensionless quantity that indicates how much a receiver deviates from an ideal receiver in terms of internal noise. An ideal receiver only produces the expected thermal noise power for a given noise bandwidth and temperature. A noise figure of 1 indicates that the noise power of a receiver equals the noise power of an ideal receiver. Because an actual receiver cannot exhibit a noise power value less than an ideal receiver, the noise figure is always greater than or equal to one. In decibels, the noise figure must be nonnegative.
To model the
effect of the receiver preamp on the signal,
phased.ReceiverPreamp computes
the effective system noise temperature by taking
the product of the reference temperature and the noise figure converted
to a power measurement with
systemp for details.
phased.ReceiverPreamp computes the noise power
as the product of the Boltzmann constant, the effective system noise
temperature, and the noise bandwidth.
The additive noise for the receiver is modeled as a zero-mean complex white Gaussian noise vector with variance equal to the noise power. The real and imaginary parts of the noise vector each have variance equal to 1/2 the noise power.
The signal is scaled by the ratio of the receiver gain to the loss factor expressed as a power ratio. If you express the gain and loss factor as powers by G and L respectively and the noise power as σ2, the output is equal to :
where x[n] is the complex-valued input signal and w[n] is a zero-mean complex white Gaussian noise sequence.
Specify a
phased.ReceiverPreamp System object with a gain of 20 dB, a noise figure of 5 dB, and a reference temperature of 290 degrees kelvin.
hr = phased.ReceiverPreamp('Gain',20,... 'NoiseFigure',5,'ReferenceTemperature',290,... 'SampleRate',1e6,'SeedSource','Property','Seed',1e3);
Assume a 100-Hz sine wave input with an amplitude of 1 microvolt. Because the Phased Array System Toolbox assumes that all modeling is done at baseband, use a complex exponential as the input to the
phased.ReceiverPreamp.step method.
t = unigrid(0,0.001,0.1,'[)');
x = 1e-6*exp(1j*2*pi*100*t).';
y = step(hr,x);
The output of the
phased.ReceiverPreamp.step method is complex-valued as expected.
Now show how the same output can produced from a multiplicative gain and additive noise. First assume that the noise bandwidth equals the sample rate of the receiver preamp (1 MHz). Then, the noise power is equal to:
NoiseBandwidth = hr.SampleRate; noisepow = physconst('Boltzmann')*... systemp(hr.NoiseFigure,hr.ReferenceTemperature)*NoiseBandwidth;
The noise power is the variance of the additive white noise. To determine the correct amplitude scaling of the input signal, note that the gain is 20 dB. Because the loss factor in this case is 0 dB, the scaling factor for the input signal is found by solving the following equation for the multiplicative gain G from the gain in dB:
G = 10^(hr.Gain/20)
The gain is 10. By scaling the input signal by a factor of ten and adding complex white Gaussian noise with the appropriate variance, you produce an output equivalent to the preceding call to
phased.ReceiverPreamp.step (use the same seed for the random number generation).
rng(1e3); y1 = G*x + sqrt(noisepow/2)*(randn(size(x))+1j*randn(size(x)));
Compare a few values of
y to
disp(y1(1:10) - y(1:10))
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
To model a coherent on receive monostatic radar use the
EnableInputPort and
PhaseNoiseInputPort properties.
In a monostatic radar, the transmitter and receiver cannot operate
simultaneously. Therefore, it is important to keep track of when the
transmitter is active so that you can disable the receiver at those
times. You can input a record of when the transmitter is active by
setting the
EnableInputPort to
true and
providing this record to the
step method.
In a coherent on receive radar, the receiver corrects for the
phase noise introduced at the transmitter by using the record of those
phase errors. You can input a record of the transmitter phase errors
step when you set the
PhaseNoiseInputPort property
To illustrate this, construct a rectangular pulse waveform with five pulses. The PRF is 10 kHz and the pulse width is 50 μs. The PRI is exactly two times the pulse width so the transmitter alternates between active and inactive time intervals of the same duration. For convenience, set the gains on both the transmitter and receiver to 0 dB and the peak power on the transmitter to 1 watt.
Use the
PhaseNoiseOutputPort and
InUseOutputPort properties
on the transmitter to record the phase noise and the status of the
Enable the
EnableInputPort and
PhaseNoiseInputPort properties
on the receiver preamp to determine when the receiver is active and
to correct for the phase noise introduced at the transmitter.
Delay the output of the transmitter using
delayseq to simulate the waveform arriving
at the receiver preamp when the transmitter is inactive and the receiver
is active.

Dam Palace - Paleis op de Dam.
Let's stir up the aesthetical controversy about this so called "8th wonder of the world" !!!
No doubt it was a large building for its time, no doubt that the architect Jacob Van Campen was not fully satisfied of his work as he met important ground stability problems, no doubt Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was not fond of it, no doubt there are many, many, nicer town halls or palaces in Europe but also no doubt that the Dam Palace is well known from world tourism.
Actually the Dam Palace looked better a few centuries ago. The facade in Bentheimer sandstone was nearly white at the start as can be seen from the model at the Amsterdam Historisch museum or from a painting (1668) by Jan Van der Heyden at Le Louvre museum.
An inside renovation was started in 2005 and finished begin 2009 so that the Palace is again open for the public.
Then started a clean up of the façade that took several years.
The Palace has a large collection of French Empire furniture left by Louis Napoleon that can now be seen when the Palace is open to the public.
Please note that some months, especially June 2015 with 19 closing days, the Palace can not be visited due to royal events.

Koninklijk Paleis
The Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace) is right on Dam square, so easy to find and "iconic". It dates back to the 1600s, and now it is only used rarely by the royal family. Entry was €10 for an adult.
I'm glad went went in to see it. It surprised me. Whilst the structure is grand, the interior is not lavish and almost utilitarian by royal standards. It is also relatively compact, so an hour is probably enough time to see it.
Well worth it.

Royal Palace
The Royal Palace of Amsterdam - west of Dam Quare - was originally built as a town hall in the 17th century and became a royal palace only in 1806, when Napoleon installed his brother as the king of the "Batavian Republic". When the Netherlands regained their independence in 1814, the Dutch monarchs continued to use the building as their palace - to this day. The palace is often used for state functions or visits from foreign dignitaries. One of the main features of the central hall is a marble floor with maps of the western and eastern hemispheres, as a reference to Dutch colonial power and their extensive trade relations. The palace has reopened for visitors in 2009 after extensive renovation works.
Koninklijk Paleis
This architectural beauty, adding Baroque touches to Neoclassical style and imposing over Dam Square, is the Royal Palace, known in Dutch as Koninklijk Paleis. It was completed in 1655 by the architect Jacob van Campen as the city hall of Amsterdam (and to me still looks like one), but was converted into a royal palace in 1806 by the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis Napoleon, who became King Louis I of Holland. Although the turbulence of that period passed, this edifice has continued thereafter to be the Royal Palace of Amsterdam.

Dam Palace - succession to the throne.
It has been announced years ago that the façade of the palace would undergo restoration between 2009 and 2011 but to my surprise the façade is still nearly as dark as five years ago!
A yellowish sandstone from Bentheim in Germany was used for the entire building. When looking at paintings of the past centuries the façade had a much lighter color than now (ref my previous tip).
Actually the restoration was conducted so as to lighten somewhat the darker stones and to darken somewhat the lighter stones to make the whole façade more homogeneous in color.
The palace was built as the Town Hall around 1655 on 13.659 wooden piles and it is still standing well vertical on the contrary of many buildings of Amsterdam who are leaning over. It was the largest non-religious building of its time.
Louis Napoleon, brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, converted the Town Hall into a royal palace for himself in 1806.
It became property of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1936 and is by the monarch for official functions and other official receptions not for lodging.
The succession to the throne of King Willem- Alexander happened here on 30/04/2013.
Presently the rooms that played a role in the succession to the throne can be visited.
The Palace has a large collection of French Empire furniture left by Louis Napoleon that can be seen.
The rooms are decorated with artworks from the collection of the House of Orange-Nassau.
The palace is often closed see http://www.paleisamsterdam.nl/bezoek/openingstijden for the days the Palace is open between 11 and 17 h.

The Royal Palace (Koninklijk Paleis) dominates Dam Square. It started out as a Town hall when it was built in 1648. The first Royal occupant was Loius Bonapart (brother of Napoleon) who moved in here during the French occupation. The building was designed by Jacob Van Campen and it was the largest town hall in Europe.
The Royal Palace
The Royal Palace (or Het Paleis op de Dam as we Dutchies call it) construction started in 1648. Architect Jacob van Campen was given the task to design a new Amsterdam City Hall. It was opened in 1655. In the years that followed the upper floors got their decorations.
During the French occupation in 1808 the City Hall was converted into a palace on command of Lodewijk Napoleon (the brother of emperor Napoleon).
In 1813 Napoleon was beaten and the Dutch King Willem I became the new user of the palace. It lasted till 1936 before the state became the owner of the building.
Nowadays the palace is used for official receptions.
The palace is open to visit (check the website!)

Royal Palace Interiors - Rooms and Hallways
No opulent bedrooms, lavish sitting rooms, decadent bathrooms. This is a munincipal buildings with room titles reflecting - courtrooms, bankrupty and insurance offices, council rooms and chambers, even a room for the orphans administration office. But such beautiful rooms - when Louis Bonaparte became king in 1808 he imported what today is one of the world's greatest existing collections of Empire furniture. With his hurried departure several years later, the furniture was left behind for us to enjoy. Connecting the offices on the inside the high ceiling hallway with painted and sculpted ceilings and wall mounted friezes.
By the time one finishes viewing a dozen rooms they all seem to run together despite the excellent audioguide included in admission. Many of the sculpted pieces also have stories attached, elucidated by the guide, but again a bit of overkill. The details may be forgotten but the memories are excellent.
Royal Palace Interiors - Great Hall
Most European Royal Palaces offer sumtuous bedrooms, lavish bathrooms, and spectacular living and dining quarters. But this Royal Palace is and has, with the exception of the Napoleonic Era, always been a city hall with the function of government. Today, the upper floors are basically unused and the visitor tour is confined to the first level with business, administrative, and judicial rooms. The huge central hall is the site of state functions and royal family affairs.
The Central Hall, over 100 x 55 ft with a 90+ foot high ceiling is a monument to the self-importance (?hubris) of the leading Amsterdam businessmen and politicians of the Golden Age. A map embedded in the tile floor depicts Amsterdam as the center of the world and with the heavens painted on the ceilings the center of the Universe as well. The most famous sculpture depicts Atlas supporting the weight of the world. Beneath him, in accordance with the functions of a town hall, justice holds a golden sword with the guilty arrayed beneath - including the skeleton. Other statues and reliefs are too numerous to recount or for that matter to even remember. Justice and the scupted caryatids ( image 3 ) are by Artus Quellinus of Antwerp, the most famous Dutch sculptor of the era.
Het Koninklijk Paleis - History, Exterior
This massive building was built during Amsterdam's golden age and officially opened in 1665 as a town hall and adminstrative center. At the time it was the largest secular building in the world, supported by 13659 wooden piles, and with 114 windows on the facade - a tribute to Amsterdam's place as the leading financial capitol of the world. It is one of the few freestanding buildings in central Amsterdam, fronting on Dam Square and next to the New Church being rebuilt at the same time. Some apparently called it the " eighth wonder of the world ". In recognition of Amsterdam's dominant position in world trade, the weathervane was shaped as a ship.
It is the opulent interior however which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, as the city leaders hired only the best to pay tribute to their importance. Overall design was by two Rembrandt students, with painted ceilings, Italian marble floors, and sculptures and paintings by the most famous artists throughout. The classic architecture by Jacob van Campen is modelled after ancient Rome, also a center of the world in its time.
With the arrival of the Napoleonic Era, in the person of King Louis ( Napoleon ), in 1806 the town hall became his Royal Palace. He abdicated in 1810 and The Netherlands was annexed to France with an appointed governor. The Napoleons were gone by 1813, and Prince William VI of Orange became King William I choosing Amsterdam as the capitol of The Netherlands and keeping the Royal Palace for his own use. In 1936, the palace became the property of the national government after the city could no longer afford to maintain it. The cost to the government is stated to be less than the original construction costs centuries earlier.
The royal family still has use of the building as needed and it is used for state affairs, receptions, award ceremonies, and public events. When not in use, the Royal Palace is open to the public for tours with a very detailed audio guide.

multiple growths, multiple problems
Hi guys,
I'm currently growing parsley in a grow box, along with tomato and hot pepper seedlings. I've got 4 9w bulbs as grow lights (I can go up to six), and the ambient temp is around 80 in the box. I have fans I can connect, if needed, and I plan on watering around once a week. I'll probably transplant in four weeks, around the middle of April. My question is this: Is my setup too hot for my parsley?
80 is very hot for parsley. But what I am mainly thinking on reading your post is why are you starting parsley indoors in Zone 9 at all? Parsley grows a tap root and although it can be transplanted it is prone to bolting. If you direct sow you have not transplanting worries and no overheating worries. Parsley comes from temperate climates. Tomatoes and Peppers from tropical climates. Knowing their antecedents is a guide to knowing how to care for them.
Here's the problem: My Zone 9 temps, at the moment, can range from 55-47, with the occasional 60 degree day. That's a little chilly, even for parsley. Plus, I live in an apartment with very little sun on my deck-- it may like partial sun, but I think it needs more than three hours' worth. And to tell you the truth, I'm not too worried about bolting. The way we eat parsley around here, I'm just hoping it gets a chance to root before it's devoured. :)
Right, I see. You didn't tell us you had no outside garden space originally.The problem is that you have the parsley in with the heat lovers. 80 is OK for germination but the plants need much lower temperatures after that. Your current temps are fine for parsley plants (once hardened off). Mine has been outside all winter and my temps are very similar at the moment. Is there any way you can prick out the parsley into different containers and start hardening them off? Your sun situation, while maybe not ideal, will not faze parsley imo. If you are happy to allow bolting you'll need to keep sowing in succession to provide new plants or you won't have any parsley later in the year.

Inspector Paws and the Wonders of Europe
Reviewed by
Lynn Evarts
Ernie is dead. Paws, his pet cat, believes it was murder. From his hiding place in Ernie's duffel bag, Paws hears people at the funeral talking about the terrible tragedy. Poor Ernie had a heart attack and was unable to get to his medication in time, but Paws is certain that someone made it impossible for Ernie to reach his pills; he can just feel it in his whiskers.
Here begins the tale of Inspector Paws and the Wonders of Europe, a charming mystery by Rosemary Budd aimed at young readers.
After a bumpy transatlantic flight with Ernie's wife, Stella, Paws uses his feline intuition and keen powers of observation to figure out who wanted Ernie dead. With help from Boyd, a young man they meet on a bus trip, Stella and Paws work to uncover their beloved Ernie's murderer.
Paws is loyal to a fault, and even though much of his jaunt to Europe involves indignities that would dissuade any other cat, he works valiantly to solve the mystery and communicate the identity of the culprit to Stella. The human characters—all props for Paws's detective work—are not fleshed out quite so well.
The plot is linear and coherent, and the book contains very few grammatical errors. The reader is treated to a European vacation, from bike tours in Amsterdam to St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. After Stella's children travel to Europe to convince her to return home, the plot becomes filled up with too many characters, including the people on the bus tour. Along with Ernie's murder, the story also deals with thefts that Paws must solve. Less-skilled readers may struggle with the expanding cast and multiple plots.
Stylistically, talking animals can be tricky. They are, in essence, reporters only, but we are privy to their thoughts and feelings. Budd does a good job at getting Paws into places and situations where a cat may not be allowed to go. Unfortunately, Paws uses certain phrases too often. "Suffering swordfish" sometimes appears on several pages in a row, moving the readers' attention from the story to the word choice.
Inspector Paws and the Wonders of Europe is great for middle-grade readers looking for a standard mystery. Cat lovers will also be attracted to Paws's feline charm.
