The Securities and Exchange Commission, charged with enforcing the nation's financial regulations, could get a leader who sees technology as a high priority. (Stock image)
President Barack Obama's pick to head the Securities and Exchange Commission says she will work to ensure technology stays at the forefront.
Mary Jo White, who testified before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs the morning of March 12, said she had mapped out early focus areas if she were to be become the SEC chairwoman.
Together with staff and other commissioners, White said, she would first take on the rulemaking mandates in the Dodd Frank Act and Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, the latter of which has now been in adoption for a full year.
"To complete these legislative mandates expeditiously must be an immediate imperative for the SEC," she said.
White said a second priority would be to bolster SEC's enforcement function, which "is essential to the integrity of our financial markets."
Third, her focus would be to make sure SEC has the cutting-edge technology and expertise necessary to keep pace with the markets and its responsibilities to monitor, regulate and enforce the securities laws. "It's a great investment to hire experts," she said.
White, a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, most previously served as chair of the litigation department at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. If confirmed by the Senate, she is expected to replace interim SEC Chairwoman Elisse Walter by mid-March.

I using my new single tier for the first time today doing my first all grain batch. I have a Love Controller for the Mash Tun and HLT. They are both cutting off at 150 degrees. Does anyone know how to set them higher, like 170 degrees?
I figured it out....It was reading in Celsius. Now I just need to figure out how to change that setting.
Here is the link to the one I have: Controllers-Panel Mount And Love On/Off Temperature Controllers - Cole-Parmer Catalog
I can't find the instructions. Does anybody have them in PDF or have a link?
Well...here i am a year later. I contacted the manufacturer and they said it was stamped wrong at the factory. Kind of funny. It was stamped in "F" but reads in "C", but is programmed in "F". So it is limited to 150 degrees F.
dude that sucks
wow, perhaps you should send it back and get a new one.
Yep, that's what their tech support told me to do. I sent an email to customer service and haven't heard back.
HA !!! Well, I was disappointed at the break in my brewing. But, am finally in a position to get back in. A heart suguery procedure will slow you down for a bit.
Its a super sour mash. You haven't tried it? Its like the SMaSH of 2010.

The Undercover Soundtrack – Christina Banach
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on October 15, 2014
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative environment – perhaps to connect with a character, populate a mysterious place, or hold a moment still to explore its depths. This week my guest is debut YA paranormal novelist Christina Banach @ChristinaBanach
Soundtrack by Iggy Pop, Evanescence, Cyndi Lauper, Robbie Williams, Samuel Barber
I find background noise somewhat distracting when I'm working, so my normal practice is to squirrel myself away in my study and write in silence. However this doesn't mean that music plays no part in my creative process – far from it. Even in the initial stages of brainstorming ideas and exploring characters I find lyrics and melodies filtering through my consciousness and seeping into the story I'm trying to tell. It's at that point that I compile the playlist that I will listen to, time and again, when I'm not actually writing, that is. Then, as I work through the revisions, shaping my manuscript, this music spools in my mind, helping to deepen character and clarify – and intensify – plot points. This was especially true when I was writing Minty.
Although the book is shot through with humour, Minty is undoubtedly an emotive read, a true emotional roller coaster according to its reviewers. It centres around one of life's big questions – is there life after death? – and deals with love, loss, friendship and redemption. Above all it is a book about hope. With such weighty themes it is no surprise that much of the music that informed the story is haunting, thought-provoking and stirring.
At the beginning of the book the protagonist, Minty, and her sister, Jess, are ordinary girls who are in love with life. As I grew familiar with their characters one song began to fill my head – Iggy Pop's Lust for Life.
However, these typical teenagers are also identical twins, girls who are bound by a steadfast bond, one that is jeopardised when Minty drowns during a family trip to the coast. Yet the sisters' connection isn't broken, for Minty finds herself trapped between life and death, forced to watch Jess's spiralling grief.
In the immediate aftermath of the accident Jess is desperate to catch Minty's last breath (the twins are fascinated with the customs of ancient Rome). My readers tell me this is an intensely emotional scene. It was certainly emotional to write and this is partly due to the song that ran through my mind as I crafted it – Evanescence's My Last Breath. It speaks to me of Jess's despair, and Minty's full appreciation of the situation she is now in.
Jess's lament
Indeed, Evanescence features highly in the Minty playlist, for it is their songs that influenced the development of Jess and Minty's character arcs. For instance, My Immortal could have been written specially for this book. It is this song that helped me drill down into Jess's core and uncover not only the pain she feels now that she has to live without her sister, but also the agony of Minty's presence still lingering in her mind. It's Jess's lament, if you like.
Then there is Bring Me To Life. I tend to think of this as the Minty anthem because, even although it is Minty who is deceased, the twins are both dead to some extent. In their separate, and very different, ways they need to be saved from themselves. Bring Me To Life helped me clarify this.
Why can't I grasp it? Cos I'm nothing – a shade, a ghost, whatever I want to call it. I am a big fat zero. I should be used to that by now – being in this world but not of it. The thought sickens me. This existence sickens me.
Which brings me to my final Evanescence song, the beautifully haunting, Missing. It is this song that helped me tap into Minty's pain and confusion at a particular juncture in the story, a plot point that is all the more poignant because it comes hard on the heels of an uplifting episode, featuring Jess and her friends. Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Want To Have Fun was the musical inspiration for writing that light-hearted scene.
And yet writing Minty wasn't purely a full-on Evanescence fest, the music of other artists also wormed their way into my subconscious and aided the creative flow, and I don't only mean Cyndi Lauper although another of her songs, True Colours, assisted me greatly in pinning down Jess and Minty's characters.
Cue Robbie Williams and Angels. This well-known song is actually mentioned several times throughout the novel. In fact, it has a significant role in three of the pivotal moments in the narrative. One of these is Minty's funeral, a chapter that stood unchanged through drafts one to eight of the revision process. I reckon that this song helped me nail it first time. Another of Robbie's songs, Nan's Song, was the soundtrack to one of my favourite scenes in the book, a scene based on something rather mysterious and perplexing that had happened to me many years ago. Listening to the music playing out in my head allowed me to capture that moment and transplant it into Minty's story.
The ultimate fragment in the soundtrack puzzle is Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. Several people have told me that Minty is an extremely filmic book, which is interesting because as I wrote it I saw it played out before me as if I were watching a movie on the big screen. This was never truer than when writing the closing scene of the final chapter. For me, it's a moment of such poignancy, such beauty and high emotion – of hope. Perhaps Barber's Adagio unleashed something in my psyche that enabled me to create the scene that needed to be written. I don't know for sure, all I can tell you is that I cried each time I worked on it.

The Undercover Soundtrack – Consuelo Roland
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in Undercover Soundtrack on October 31, 2012
Once a week I host a writer who uses music as part of their creative process – perhaps to open a secret channel to understand a character, populate a mysterious place, or explore the depths in a pivotal moment. This week's guest is award-winning novelist, essayist and poet Consuelo Roland @ConsueloRoland
Soundtrack by Tony Cox, Steve Newman and Syd Kitchen, Ziggy Marley, Richard Marx, Phil Collins, Nancy Sinatra, Lila Downs, Willis Alan Ramsey, Meatloaf, Robbie Williams,
The Good Cemetery Guide began one fog-laden winter's night in a dimly-lit music locale in Kalk Bay, South Africa. Three acoustic guitarists, jamming loud enough to wake the dead, shifted my world a step to the left.
The uninhibited energy that rocked that small dingy space attracted a motley crowd, including some local town ghosts. Tony Cox, Steve Newman and Syd Kitchen, acoustic guitar fingerstyle masters, opened a passage between the real world and the possible world. On the long road home we passed a drab brick house with salt encrusted windows. The nondescript sign of a funeral parlour floated in the sea fog under a street lamp. Behind the walls I saw Anthony Loxton looking at himself in a bathroom mirror, back from a guitar gig, wishing his life could be different.
An undertaking
It's hilarious in retrospect. My first novel was going to be about a funeral director moonlighting as a guitar player, when I knew nothing about making music or the undertaking business. But the musician before his audience was a perfect metaphor to underpin an ancient literary theme: No Man is an Island.
Part of my research was always having the car radio on – it felt necessary. One day I found myself finger-tapping to Ziggy Marley's Jammin, and an image popped into my head of Sweet the guitar teacher jiving to his own beat, adding a repetitive gospel music refrain to the reggae beat; taking liberties with the musical greats.
Anthony's alter ego, Tony the Fox, evolved in a similarly strong-willed direction; he began to think of himself as looking like Phil Collins. In those early days of story incubation I turned to my favourite power balladeers for inspiration: Richard Marx's Waiting for You made me feel the pain of missing the woman you love; Phil Collins's Survivors made me feel the sadness of doomed love with a shared past.
Gradually all the listening paid off. I borrowed bits and pieces of songs that felt completely right and authentic, and that amplified the storybook of a third-generation funeral director who strives valiantly to outfox destiny.
At a major crossroad of his adult life Anthony remembers 'that sometimes the words of a song don't have to make sense for it to be a good song', and he 'lets the man and the woman go to Mexico before the gringos came, and make capsicum chilli love as often as they want.'
The Mexican theme came up when I was 'doing research' in Kalk Bay. The discovery of the afternoon was a Mexican cowboy cardboard puppet who fired from the hips. Bang! Bang! He was delightfully impish, although the skeleton Señorita in her cellophane packet seemed impervious to his charms. I could see a small boy discovering Mexico in a forbidden library book. By torchlight he might see a band leading a procession and then a host of twirling skeletons and masked dancers (to help the dead go back) attending El Día de los Muertos. On that night of heartfelt sorrow and great celebration the veil between the living and the dead would be lifted; the Mexican cowboy would serenade the beautiful Señorita, and he would raise his pistols – Bang! Bang! – for every suitor, dead or alive. It was the mesmerizing Lila Downs who acted as my guide to a Mexico of the soul.
Anthony's double life embodies secrets. The theme of concealment is interwoven with melody to express dark, melancholic thoughts the adult man cannot otherwise vocalise. I unearthed Texas troubadour Willis Alan Ramsey's Ballad of Spider John while researching guitars.
Much of the novel is about coming to terms with existence, and how sex is only a temporary diversion. Writing about sex from a man's perspective was a challenge. Listening to Meatloaf's soaring lustful lyrics, particularly the gothic epic You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth, helped the sex scenes to flow. The effect of that single song and its sexual tension and irony was enormously helpful to get inside the head of my lascivious male character as he spun from one carnal adventure to the next.
When gothic love is followed by gothic death the musician quits playing and the masquerade is temporarily suspended. It's left up to the broken-hearted to process the inexplicable as best they can. Robbie Williams's Cursed perfectly evoked the mood of 'immeasurable sadness' that occasionally struck Anthony down. Cursed has a driving rock beat which captures the concrete physicality of being alive and then it slows completely and incredible piano sections evoke the fragility of love and the power of memory.
This is the unique soundtrack of a man who was born the son of a mortician, and given the gift of a guitar. In The Good Cemetery Guide music has the power to wake not only the dead, but also the living.

What is The Undercover Soundtrack?Sleeve notes here
For the soundtrack of My Memories of a Future Life, you'll need Chopin's Sonata in B Minor, Rachmaninov preludes, lashings of Grieg's piano concerto in A minor and The Clash's Rock the Kasbah (they go together well).
You'll also need Samuel Barber's Dover Beach on piano, although that doesn't actually exist so do the best you can.
And the novel's undercover pieces. You can find them here

With this year's Summerlicious festival winding down (the last day is Sunday), we decided to call up the top 10 most clicked-on restaurants from our 67 Best Bets list to see how they were faring. "Winterlicious is crazier," says Senses' general manager David Kipis, "but we're taking more reservations than last year." Aria reports a similar situation, receiving comparatively less guests than during Summerlicious' wintery counterpart, but still doing "quite nicely" overall. While this season's most clicked-on restaurants included some of the usual suspects (Canoe, Aria), there were some surprises as well, like long-time Thai-food fixture Bangkok Garden and Adelaide Street's Tutti Matti. See below for the full lineup of the most viewed Summerlicious restaurants, and to get the scoop on when you can still score a table: Read the rest of this entry »

Global angel network establishes chapter
In another sign of widening interest in Miami's entrepreneurial ecosystem, Keiretsu Forum, a large worldwide angel network, is opening a chapter in Miami.
Keiretsu Forum was founded in 2000 by Randy Williams in the San Francisco Bay Area, and now has 30 chapters and more than 1,100 accredited investor members. Keiretsu Forum members typically provide capital in the $250k – 2 million range in early-stage companies. Members collaborate in the due-diligence, but make their own investment decisions. Through the Keiretsu Forum, more than $400 million of capital has been invested into technology, consumer products, Internet, healthcare, life sciences and real estate companies, the forum said.
The southeast regional group had been meeting on Fisher Island for a few years and attorneys Chris Boyett, Rod Bell and Danielle Price with Holland & Knight, its host sponsor, encouraged the group to set up a chapter.
"We saw the potential for the Keiretsu Forum to be a success in South Florida and there is a huge need for an organization like this," said Bell, a Holland & Knight partner who heads up the domestic corporate practice in South Florida. "The time is right for something like this to come along and help these companies get to the next level."
Keiretsu Forum said John Inman, a commercial real estate investor, will lead the Miami chapter and plans to select 20 founding members before year's end.

First Bin - Bedding?
I am giving Vermiculture a shot and I'm glad there's a forum for it because I think i need guidance.
I bought my first batch of worms last week, 500 red wigglers. They'll be at my doorstep any day now. I plan on using 5gallon pickle buckets (free - I work at a restaurant). I know although not ideal, they are free and I plan on drilling holes on the bottom and air holes on the top sides and making two homes of 250 worms so they aren't over-crowded. Is this a good plan?
My second question is... what kind of bedding will be the best? I'm reading competing opinions about the initial bedding for the new worms. For example ALOT of people say just shred cardboard and newspaper - but seriously? What about the toxins in the ink?, AND worms don't live in shreds of newspaper do they? They live in soil right?
The second opinion is to use coconut palm fiber and some other organic gritty material like coffee.
Any advice about my pickle bucket and bedding questions would be greatly appreciated. I plan on spending a ton of time on this forum reading up on vermiculture. If I can pull it off my lawn and garden will love it.
I used some of my first vermicompost, it was not yet castings, to cover some dead spots in the lawn. Then I covered it with that green grass seed with green paper fiber mixed in. When the spots grew there were squash or melon seeds in it. It made it easy to see those spots while mowing and mow around them. After a few weeks I just mowed over them and the squash or melon was no problem.
OK, about newspaper.....no, the ink is toxic no more. That was changed long ago because of the threats to children and tots who eat stuff like that.
If you don't have any horsey-doo, put some corregated cardboard (dampened but not wet) in there but not too much... just a little.
With 500 worms, you don't need much of a bin at all. What are the widths of the pickle things? The important dimension is the width (vertical will take care of itself).
Make sure to use the bedding that the worms were shipped in. Don't wanna get the worms all disoriented the very first day in the new home. (Put them in the corner of the new bin and let them venture out into your bedding at their own squirm.)
Holes?: Put a couple of holes in the bottom ON ONE SIDE. That way if it's too dry, tilt the bin up with the holes up. Vicey-versy if wetter than better.
On top, put no holes. On sides, put 4 holes....one on each side. Make the holes the size of a quarter....or 2 dimes and a nickel. Holes are way over-rated....except for no holes.
I don't think I would say it isn't toxic at all. Many of the same ingredients are in both petroleum based and vegetable based inks. Commonly newspapers are printed with vegetable based inks but not all. There is also blanket wash which contains alot of petroleum distilates(sp?), this stuff can kill ants. So everytime a press operator cleans the ink off the blanket, a film of blanket wash is on the blanket, the blanket transfers residue onto the next sheets. How many sheets affected depends on the evaporation time of the blanket wash used. There's also fountain solution to keep the plate clean which is transferred to the blanket but it is minimal and is diluted down.
Yes, drain holes would definately help.
Horse manure well work great for you.
This post was edited by firecat on Tue, Jun 4, 13 at 19:43
Hey cool, thanks for the responses! Good to know that newspaper is ok as far as toxins go. So just 100% shredded newspaper soaked in water should do it? Along with the soil the worms come in and some soaked cardboard on the bottom?
The pickle bucket is only about 14" in length, but pretty tall, maybe 36"? Again, not ideal, but free, and I'm going to stack often when introducing new food so they can climb up and eat in the new bucket.
I think I want to stack the bins though?? so as one fills up I'll plop a new one on top with holes on the bottom and new food in it and the wormies will crawl up and chow and start a new bin that way.
I thought about putting the buckets on their side but then I can't stack. Don't most people use the stacking method. Like the worm factory 360 style?
You could also make mini flow-through bins from your pickle pails. There are examples at the link below
Here is a link that might be useful: DIY Flow Through bins: a collection of links
No, most peeps don't use stacking.
Start out at the beginners' stage. This is a lot easier when it's easier. You can always turn them babies up if they want to get high.
When you have a vertical bin (36" tall), all the moisture you introduce into it is gonna gravitate (!) to the bottom of the pickle jar. The worms, who are somewhere near the top of the bedding having orgasms of eating and reproducing are gonna be dying for a little moisture.
Wait until you are successful with that first bin before starting out on high-rises.

Dig Inn's New Funding to Help Build Farm-to-Counter Model
Read More About
Dig Inn Seasonal Market, a fast-casual, farm-to-counter concept based in New York City, received $15 million in funding to explore markets outside the city and to build its supply-chain infrastructure.
The restaurant's founder, Adam Eskin, says expanding its 10-unit operation to new East Coast markets will prove the success of the company's innovative business model, one in which the company has a direct, hands-on relationship with its suppliers. He thinks the model could have a big impact on the food industry and the way people in the U.S. eat.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

"Peaceful, relaxing, restful, spiritual, wonderful...." these are some of the ways our guests have described their experience of staying at our new Balinese inspired guest suites. Please come enjoy the relaxed rural setting of our two bedroom, two bath cottage (rented as one unit), located south central on the island of Kauai. We are minutes away from the many beautiful beaches Kauai has to offer. We are 1000 feet above sea level, that offers cooler temperatures especially welcomed when time to retire for the evening. The beautiful warm tropical woods, the unique reed matting on the ceilings, coved lighting, granite counters and many other custom detailed architectural touches make the suites at Puulima Road a magical place to spend your Kauai vacation. The two separate entrance suites are ideally suited for two friends or couples who are traveling together or a small family. Reservations will not be taken until two (2) months prior to reservation date.
Thayne or Lynn Taylor purchased this cottage in 1996
First it is in Kalaheo, second it is up in the mountains which is a lot cooler than beach side.
We are very thankful to be able to offer our guest house as a home away from home. We work hard to make your stay an enjoyable one and are always striving on ways to improve. Here is where you can help. Let us know how your stay was and if there was anything we could do to make our guests feel more at home.
We look forward to seeing you on your return trip.
Thank you and until we meet again:
My husband, two children and self very recently stayed at this property during our visit to the island. The property is striking in it's carefully designed guest house, a beautiful extension of the owner's own home. The architecture will really put you in a Bali mindset! The grounds are lovely and the sheep charming - our children really loved to see them. The night sky is breathtaking. It's impossible not to feel peaceful here. This was a prefect place to return to each night after a day at the beach. The privacy and quietness is exactly what you look for in a vacation. Thank you so much for sharing a part of your home with us, Lynn and Thayne!
This lovely little property was ideal for us (2 sisters) as we could each have our own space as well as breeze in and out of the others' room. Lovely design and decor as well as a great bathroom made the spaces a good place to come back to after a day at the beach or hiking.
We loved being in Kalaheo with it's 'real' people and great local coffee shop.
Thayne and Lynn were welcoming and respectful of our privacy.
We stayed at Kauai Garden Cottages for five nights in July 2013 and had a wonderful stay.
The place is truly unique. The rental cottage is a stand-alone house, split into two parts. Both parts, which you rent together, have a bedroom and a bathroom and have their own entrances. One side is bit larger than the other and has a sitting area. The owner's home is next door, connected by a covered walkway, but is completely separate from the rental cottage.
The unique layout of the cottages was perfect for our group. We were a group of four--a married couple in one room, and two friends in the other room. There was a futon that we set up in the room with the friends so they didn't have to share a queen bed. The two rooms share a common deck, but had privacy in both rooms.
The cottage was built with an incredible attention to detail. The photos on VRBO's website (which are nice and professional) very accurately show what the place looks like. Beautiful hardwoods, interesting architecture, very high ceilings, fine craftsmanship, tropical vibe, interesting Balinese style. The cottages were spotlessly clean. Everything worked. The furniture was nothing fancy, but we didn't expect more at this price.
The setting of the cottages is up in the hills, about a 5 minute drive up the from the highway. The property is both open and has a tropical jungle feel. I'm not sure how far the road goes up into the hills past the cottages, but the property is well past the ordinary residential area near the highway and is in a more pretty rural setting. As is the case in this part of Kauai, the weather seems to change every hour or so. Sun, then rain, then sun, then some wind. It was always a pleasant temperature there.
The hosts, Thayne and Lynn, were welcoming and friendly. They took care of a couple of special requests that we made in advance and otherwise left us to ourselves during our stay (in a good way). I'm sure they would have responded to any issues we might have had, but we had none.
The interesting layout of the place (two separate rooms, rented together) and the location in the hills might not be for everyone, but it was a perfect launching point for us and a great place to spend our mornings and evenings. I'd highly recommend this place to a group of 3 or 4 close friends traveling together, 2 couples traveling together, or a family with kids (parents in one room, kids in another).
My Wife & I found this listing early on during our search for a place to stay in Kauai. As our search progressed, we kept coming back to this listing. We were skeptical this might be a "to good to be true" situation. We are so glad we booked with Thayne and his Wife. Their place is amazing. If you are looking for a secluded, off the beaten path, relaxing place to energize after long days of site-seeing and the beach then this is the perfect place. My Wife and I found the cottage to be perfect for our needs. We loved the architecture and landscaping. We found personal touches, such as beach chairs, cooler, ample beach towels and even a beach blanket as an added benefit to the beautiful setting. If you want to forego the busy major resort atmosphere, then this is the place for you. We would recommend this to any couple wanting to spend some quality time together. Highly recommend
A charming place to stay away from the high prices of the beach resorts. Near the quaint town of Kalaheo. Cool breeze felt fabulous after days at the beach. A fabulous and affordable way to experience Kauai.
We were so impressed! We enjoyed your mindful attention to details. Charming, bright dacor, a comfortable bed! and all in a peaceful beautiful setting. Our hosts provided excellent hospitality! We rested well in the cool night breezes here.
The convenience of our Kalaheo location is that you benefit from the seclusion of our 2 acre parcel with a stream at the bottom of the property, yet are close enough to be 5 minutes from some great local restaurants and 15 minutes to some of Kauai's most famous South Shore beaches. Thirty minutes to the Lihue airport and about 30 minutes to Waimea Canyon, you will find the Puulima Guest Suites are a good South Shore location to call your home base on Kauai. Please note - we will not take any reservations until two (2) months prior to the reservation date.

text: Our Verdict It's compact, sounds good and is supremely flexible - it might be Mini but it's not minor For Great sound strong tuner flexible user friendly Against Light bass ChargePAK is extra Reviewed on 19th September 2008 Now this is what we call a portable radio. One of the stalwarts of the Pure range, the One Mini is a real fisherman's friend of a radio, ideal for taking to the park or on holiday thanks to its square, compact dimensions. Naturally it's only a mono design, but Pure has squeezed in both DAB and FM tuners plus a handy line input for connecting a portable, a headphone connection and a USB connection for future upgrades. It's easy to use thanks to solid, responsive buttons and looks smart in gloss black – it's also available in white and pink. Pure prides itself on having some of the strongest tuners around, which means you shouldn't struggle to pick-up the full gamut of DAB and FM stations – we certainly didn't. Sonically it's impressive, too. It sounds clear, natural and well organised, while music times well even when dealt complex tracks. There's not a lot of bass weight, though this isn't the biggest surprise considering the size, but otherwise there's much to like in this ultra-portable Mini Pure. More after the break Our only gripe is that the a £25 ChargePAK is required to make it properly portable, but at least this is more eco-friendly than batteries.
