Apple iPhone 5s is the fastest smartphone according to benchmark tests
0. phoneArena 19 Oct 2013, 16:52 posted on
Just which smartphone is the fastest? According to Which magazines independent speed test, the Apple iPhone 5s beat out rivals like the Samsung Galaxy S4 to earn the title as the world's fastest smartphone using the Geekbench benchmark tests; in single-core testing, the full-featured iPhone had a huge margin over the LG G2, the second place finisher. The Samsung Galaxy S4 was third...

Well it's not surprising news as the 5S is super fast, but where's the note 3? That's an awfully fast piece of tech too. Anyways good job apple, work out the kinks and the 5S is pretty much perfect
3. DAMONORIBELLO (Posts: 109; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Note 3 conveniently left out.
5. darkkjedii (Posts: 21359; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Even if it beat the 5s, second fastest is all good. This stuff only matters to people sitting by each other doing speed tests. Otherwise not

FASTEST processor of 2013 inside the SMALLEST flagship of this year!!! What would be the benefit of this superprocessor when the display resolution and size is not suitable for game, surfing... I prefer Note 3!
40. c.sonnen (Posts: 38; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
Its like a fastest processor on a windows 98 and on a smallest crt monitor.. 5s needs that 4inch display and and not even a fhd resolution for their 720p(downscaled to 480p) slowmo videos so the people wont notice it..liars

Android smartphones are big not because they wanted to give us big screens!!! They just couldn't fit a nice processor, an elephant size battery and so on to be able to run android. iPhones are amazing because the are more powerful than any other smartphones but have the size of 1/3 of S4 or G2. Imagine a 5 inch iPhone!!! It will be a beast and we will be playing full games but android will barely run his native mobile games. :)
141. RebelwithoutaClue (Posts: 2918; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)
Actually, there are quite a few models who have great specs and battery in a device with smaller screen. So you're arguments make no sense at all.
And why would a 5 inch iPhone be a beast? Suddenly their processor needs to handle a bigger screen and more pixels.

Woah, the Note 3 is about as fast as computers from 2009
76. Ninetysix (Posts: 2387; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Woah, rename Geekbench to Beekgench and watch the Note 3 drop its score by 20-50%.
boosting code sample:
arrayOfPackageInfo[10] = new PackageInfo("ca.primatelabs.geekbench2", false);
90. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Average gain, as found by anandtech, was between 0% and 4%. They even stated that the priming wasn't worth the effort they put into it.
96. vincelongman (Posts: 4445; Member since: 10 Feb 2013)
I guess it would drop to the Xperia Z1 (Sony weren't found to be boosting their benchmarks), which got 2700, still crazy fast.
59. flynfree (Posts: 374; Member since: 09 Jun 2013)
How about gnote 3 with ios software and or iPhone 5s with android software, vice versa. Comparing with the same software is better.
24. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Doesn't matter, if you compare single core scores, Note3 will lose...A7's cyclone core would keep the crown until we see next gen cores (A57 based) in Snapdraggon, Exynos and Tegra.
27. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Single core. My GS3 uses both cores in nearly any situation.
35. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I am just highlighting performance of cyclone vs krait400 core...in daily use S800 and A7 performance will be very similar.
55. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
But you still have to take something in account here, the cyclone cores are much bigger in die size than normal cores, the A7's dual core occupies the same die space roughly as the quad A15s in the Exynos 5410.
82. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
That's because cyclone core is 64 bit...all registers are probably of double size (64bit).
37. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Ios and android are coded much differently than windows. The difference between multithreading in most programs for making apps is just checking marking a box to build the app as multithreaded.
51. Finalflash (Posts: 3107; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
Doesn't matter, Note 3 would either match or marginally beat the iPhone, which wouldn't matter in the end because it really doesn't. The fact that the article states that anything feels snappier than the other in the top 10 is retarded because opening apps will be limited by the SSD with the kind of processing power that is available. The only place it matters is in high end gaming and they all about equal out in that regard. I don't know why they even measure CPU performance anyway as a means of overall device performance.
106. Luuthian (Posts: 246; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Thank you, exactly. The speed wars are essentially over.
While the iPhone 5 and up are definitely a speed of their own, Android is doing just equally fine when not bloated with crap.
There's absolutely no point in measuring these speeds when apps aren't taking advantage of them anyways. The major benefit of the iPhone is that app deveolpers can hit more specific targets with optimization. Android has so many model differences that developing for anything outside of Qualcomm chips is difficult, and then even more so with resolution differences.
The point here is that these tests prove nothing in terms of user experience.

Isn't the Note 3 running a Snapdragon 800? So basically whats in the G2.
124. night_elf (Posts: 45; Member since: 02 Apr 2013)
They are not the same, Note 3 has a score of 2809! So Note 3 is the fastes of all! Once again, lies are spread in favor of iPhone :)
125. Ninetysix (Posts: 2387; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Oh the irony. At least you put lies and Note 3 on the same line so it's all good.
132. GeekyGene (Posts: 88; Member since: 25 Aug 2013)
They are the same you numpty.... They both use the Snapdragon 800. The reason your beloved Note 3 gets a score of 2809 is because Samsung have a white list of programs specifically for benchmark apps (its been found, it has benchmark apps on it ONLY).
You will never see that performance in any use outside of those benchmarks. I mean ask yourself this, if their 'tweaks' for benchmarks were so legit, why not include them for all apps that require such high performance? ... yeah. Exactly.
15. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The Note 3 has the same chip as the G2, so I can see why it's left out. The Snapdragon 800 and Exynos 5420 perform similarly as well.
133. GeekyGene (Posts: 88; Member since: 25 Aug 2013)
Going to go out on a limb and assume that they left the Note 3 out because its not really a smartphone. It's a phablet.
Also as you pointed out, the G2 runs the same Snapdragon 800 anyway. So its essentially the same result, without Samsung's "optimization".

127. werthedroids (Posts: 60; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
1st Samsung made the chip 2nd super fast because the OS is so feature-deprived and locked down. What is there to run/render/process. Icons? Please. And FYI, I did play with a 5Same in store and the animation are WAAAY Too long, and sometimes a bit jittery, and guess what; you can't change that. On android you can change the animation speed, scale, etc.. It takes more time to do what you want to do, so in a way, it's actually slower. Kinks? You mean giant gaping holes? Perfect phone if those are straightened out? For a noob, sure. For those who have a little more than empty space between our ears? FAR from it.
137. Trex95 (Posts: 905; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)
Touchwiz and bloatware kills Note 3 plus cheating benchmark that increase performance by 10% to 30%. In fact Note 3, G2 and Xperia Z1 has the same performance but G2 in gaming performance and low light video still not that great guess what Xperia Z1 in terms of performance still better than both phones!

48. Long1 (banned) (Posts: 399; Member since: 18 May 2013)
I also ask the iMedia same question.
Every day 99% of the articles - Apple related. And all of them iBS. Nice job PArena.
Well, I agree that the lame iphone need it so badly, but.......don't you PA have some self respect?
If Samsung put this "great"(made by Samsung, on Exynos process) A7 chip inside Note 3 to make the same productivity- Note 3 will die.
52. joey_sfb (Posts: 5754; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
You are right is not an Apple to Apple comparison. If you ever run an benchmark program on a PC before you would know that the same PC will give more point to lower resolution 1024x786 vs a higher resolution 1920x1080.
Other factors such as OS version, Vista vs Windows 7 vs Windows 8 would also affect the score for same piece of hardware. In this case Android multi functional interface vs basic iOS interface; Android true multi-tasking capability vs iOS form of multi-tasking.
Most Apple fan i know are non greek and everyone of them just want to hear they have the best phone which is the whole point of this article is to make Apple iPhone 5s look good and to me it really good if you want a 4" phone.
Myself and a lot of people has already went pass the point of wanting a 4" lower resolution phone period.

4. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
I wonder how the 5s holds up compared to a NL 920, 925, 928, or 1020?.. WP is well known for it's speed, and optimization between the hardware, and software... I bet they didn't even include a WP device.. This test doesn't mean anything unless they include all of the best high end devices...
16. illusionmist (Posts: 157; Member since: 29 Jan 2013)
WP is smooth, not fast. (At least true for the current devices, which still run on previous generation of Snapdragon.)
And they didn't include WP because there's no Geekbench app on it.
49. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
How do you figure it's not fast❔ I've compared my NL920 to all of these phones and it holds its own pretty,, very well❕ I'm just wondering what the benchmark would say.. When was the last time you compared the speed of the 920, 925, 928, or 1020 to your device❔ You'd think they were running on quad core processors.. Nevertheless, I know these are benchmark test, and that doesn't always translate into apps opening faster, or screens changing faster.. But, it would be interesting to see where these WP devices stand next to their direct competitors.. Even more interesting would be to see how the 1520, with it's Snapdragon 800, compare's..
110. illusionmist (Posts: 157; Member since: 29 Jan 2013)
I played with my friend's Lumia 925 last week. Took way too long processing photos (Smart Camera), etc. Resuming apps is kind of slow as well.
122. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
The results for WP are normally pretty awful in benchmarks as they used for now a quite dated CPU hardware. Even the latest Lumia 1020 uses just a Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon, dual core Krait 200 at 1.5 GHz.
So in most reviews don´t even bother to test the HW as the results are really bad and make the phone look worse that it is. This is one of the few I found where they did, you can yourself, but be prepared for some big disspointment:

The note 3 is not a phone. It's a phablet and it's good it has been left out. Too bad the iPhone kicked the Ass of the go g2 and s4. G2 am much disappointed since it parks s800. Note 3 on geek bench 3 scores 3000 which blows the iPhone 5s out of the water. What I don't get is how is the g2 getting lower scores. Even the exynos in my note 3 gets 2890 on geek bench.
17. GeekyGene (Posts: 88; Member since: 25 Aug 2013)
Because Samsung ""optimizes"" for benchmarks.

Our first spotlight is on Adrenaline Lacrosse based out of sunny San Diego, CA. Adrenaline was started in 2000 by Alex Cade (Notre Dame, LA Riptide) and has blossomed into a successful lacrosse apparel company for both men and women and a leader on the West Coast in spreading the game of lacrosse through a variety of camps and clinics for boys and girls at all levels.
Besides providing some great threads designed by Parker Anger, Lax Spot found what's most impressive about Adrenaline is their additional role in promoting the game of lacrosse, especially on the West Coast. Adrenaline offers camps just about all year round in countless locations.
Adrenaline has created a 'Player Development Model' approach to its camps. It has been a proven success thus far as many of the Adrenaline camp and clinic alumni are now seeing success in the NCAA playing ranks. By having different camps with different status, it really puts the kids at ease and allows everyone to be on the same level. As they move up in skills, they graduate to the next level of camp where new skills and aspects of the game are introduced.
Along with spreading the game, Adrenaline is known for its cutting edge designs with a laid back SoCal hang-ten attitude. Designs are created by surfers, lacrosse players and some hybrid surfer/lacrosse folks as well. Adrenaline brings out the surfer in each and every lacrosse player. And believe it or not, there's a little in everyone. Adrenaline is also going green as they plan to release their eco friendly line very shortly.
Adrenaline wants to take the conservativeness out of lacrosse clothing and they surely have done just that with this year's new line. The company currently runs three stores in Southern California and one in Austin Texas, which all are the first of there kind in the respective areas. (2 San Diego/1 Orange County/1 Austin). Also with nationwide/international sales and marketing led by Anger and Justin Smith (Salisbury, PHI Barrage), Adrenaline is looks like it's going to be in the game for the long haul.

Insomnia is a serious disorder, and effective treatment can be crucial to getting the sleep you need. Explore safe, effective, nondrug insomnia treatments.
Insomnia is a common problem characterized by trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or getting restful sleep, despite the opportunity for adequate sleep. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, often called CBT-I, is an effective insomnia treatment for chronic sleep problems.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is a structured program that helps you identify and replace thoughts and behaviors that cause or worsen sleep problems with habits that promote sound sleep. Unlike sleeping pills, CBT-I helps you overcome the underlying causes of your sleep problems.
To make effective changes, it's important to understand sleep cycles and learn how beliefs, behaviors and outside factors can affect your sleep. To help decide how to best treat your insomnia, your sleep therapist may have you keep a detailed sleep diary for one to two weeks.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia aims to improve sleep habits and behaviors. The cognitive part of CBT-I teaches you to recognize and change beliefs that affect your ability to sleep. For instance, this may include learning how to control or eliminate negative thoughts and worries that keep you awake. The behavioral part of CBT-I helps you develop good sleep habits and avoid behaviors that keep you from sleeping well.
Depending on your needs, your sleep therapist may recommend some of these CBT-I techniques:
The most effective treatment approach may combine several of these methods.
Sleep medications can be an effective short-term treatment — for example, they can provide immediate relief during a period of high stress or grief. Some newer sleeping medications have been approved for long-term use. But they may not be the best long-term insomnia treatment.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia may be a good treatment choice if you have long-term sleep problems. You may want to try it if you're worried about becoming dependent on sleep medications, if medications aren't effective or if they cause bothersome side effects.
Unlike pills, CBT-I addresses the underlying causes of insomnia rather than just relieving symptoms. But it takes time — and effort — to make it work. In some cases, a combination of sleep medication and CBT-I may be the best approach.

When a obese female or in some cases male wears tight jeans or pants with holes them and their leg blubber pops out of the holes just like icing comes out of a baggy.

Together, Hafez, a giant of world literature; Jahan Malek Khatun, an eloquent princess; and Obayd-e Zakani, a dissolute satirist, represent one of the most remarkable literary flowerings of any era. All three lived in the famed city of Shiraz, a provincial capital of south-central Iran, and all three drew support from arts-loving rulers during a time better known for its violence than its creative brilliance. Here Dick Davis, an award-winning poet widely considered "our finest translator of Persian poetry" (The Times Literary Supplement), presents a diverse selection of some of the best poems by these world-renowned authors and shows us the spiritual and secular aspects of love, in varieties embracing every aspect of the human heart.
For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
"Davis [is] widely acknowledged as the leading translator of Persian literature in our time…Faces of Love has made the Persian originals into real and moving English poems."
—Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"Davis has done something I'd thought impossible: given us an Englished Hafez whose verses retain an intimation of what all the fuss is about…this anthology is a revelation."
—Michael Robbins, The Chicago Tribune
"Radiant…Davis expertly elucidates the conventions these poets worked within and played against."
—A. E. Stallings, The Times Literary Supplement Books of the Year
"Dick Davis's love affair with Persian literature has resulted in another marvelous offspring. Faces of Love reveals to us the mysterious connections between three vastly different fourteenth-century Persian poets. Through their eyes, Davis brings us that other Iran of poetry, lyrical beauty, diversity, and sensuality; only a lover and a poet could so passionately and meticulously capture the true spirit of these magnificent poems that transcend the boundaries of space and time."
—Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran
"For me, the most remarkable poetic translation project in the last twenty years has been Dick Davis' ambitious recreations of classical Persian literature. In book after book, Davis has memorably translated one of the world's great literatures into real English-language poetry. Finally, Davis has brought us new versions of Hafez and the great Shiraz poets. What can I say about this new book except: Yes! at last we meet one of the greatest lyric poets in history fully alive in English."
—Dana Gioia, former chairman of the NEA and author of Pity the Beautiful: Poems
"In this heady volume of wine, roses, nightingales, and forbidden trysts, Dick Davis shows us three faces of medieval Persian love poetry: the elusively mystical, the searingly personal, and the gleefully profane. For those of us unfamiliar with this world, the excitement is something akin to stumbling across a new Pindar, Sappho, and Catullus in a single volume—that is, if they were contemporaries and flourished in the same small town. This book is equally valuable for its wide-ranging introduction and pellucid and musical translations (quotable as English poems in their own right)—it would be worthwhile for either, but is a gem for both. Perhaps the most thrilling surprise contained here, however, is the debut in English (if not the West) of Jahan Malek Khatun, an intellectual princess whose bold and moving poems of heartbreak (often daring in their exploration of gender roles) and exile are a revelation. Her pen name means "the world" and indeed we feel that, in bringing these poems into our language, scholar, poet, and translator Dick Davis has opened a new world for us. One couldn't write a better description of this volume than one of her own epigrams:
Shiraz when spring is here—what pleasure equals this?
With streams to sit by, wine to drink, and lips to kiss,
With mingled sounds of drums and lutes and harps and flutes;
Then, with a nice young lover near, Shiraz is bliss"
—A.E. Stallings, MacArthur Fellow and author of Olives

Another Mountain State Forest Festival has come and gone. I think everyone who participated in the activities last week was able to get through it without having to be in the hospital due to eating too much carnival food or over-exertion.
The Forest Festival week is a very busy time for the Mountaineer Chapter of the Izaak Walton League. Several of the members were busy trying to sell raffle tickets on expensive outdoor prizes. Others were out at the club house on Files Creek Road helping to get ready for the buckwheat pancake and sausage feed held on Sunday morning, the day after the Grand Feature Parade.
I helped sell tickets at the booth in the City Park for about an hour Friday afternoon, and on Saturday morning from daybreak to about noon. I also helped clean things up at the clubhouse on Sunday afternoon when the feed was over.
The winner of the Browning X-bolt, 25-06 caliber rifle, equipped with a 4x12x40 scope, was Travis Taylor of Elkins. This prize was valued at $1,500. The winner of the Mathew Solo Cam Heli-X bow, valued at $1,300, was John Brown of Nicholas County.
All the money taken in from this raffle goes to the youth activities sponsored by the Mountaineer Chapter Izaak Walton League. This past June I had a column about the youth fish catch and air-rifle shoot that they had in May. This past August, the chapter held its youth conservation day. According to those who helped conduct this event, the weather was ideal. This activity was open to all young people ages 8-17. A total of 48 youngsters registered and several others who were not eligible enjoyed watching. There were six stations each kid had to go through that included air rifle, animal identification, archery, fishing, shooting clays and stream ecology. Each station was non-competitive, but educational and fun.
A free lunch was provided to all participants and workers. The food was prepared by the chapter volunteer members.
In September, the chapter sponsored an air rifle shoot held at the Tygart Valley Muzzleloaders Shooting Range on Files Creek Road. This event was open to all kids ages 7-17. The equipment and supplies necessary were provided by the chapter. Like the conservation shoot, it was non-competitive. The real purpose of this event was to get youth interested in shooting sports with high emphasis on shooting safety and shooting range etiquette. This activity was made possible due to a grant from the National Rifle Association and funds from the Mountaineer Chapter of the Izaak Walton League.
The Tygart Valley National Wild Turkey Federation Chapter works very closely with the Izaak Walton League with its youth activities. This year, the TVNWTF had two prizes in their Forest Festival Raffle. The first was the winner's choice of a Remington 20 gauge youth shotgun and a chest of eight custom-made box-type turkey calls. The second prize winner received the remaining prize not picked by the first-place winner.
Revenue taken in from this raffle goes to sponsoring their Jakes Day Youth Event, held at the IWLA clubhouse and property. Some of the activities involved with this include archery skills, conservation, and habitat work, hunting safety, shotgun patterning, turkey calling, etc. This has to be a valuable learning experience for any kid. Most of the participants will remember the supervised hands-on shooting lesson for the rest of their lives. For more information about the activities of the Mountaineer Chapter of the Izaak Walton League, they can be found at www.iwla.org/mountaineer.
As I have said before, this is a civic organization that local sportsmen and women can be proud of for the work they are doing to preserve public hunting and fishing.

Irish singer Niamh Parsons brings us "ancient tales of love and war" on her powerful new album, The Old Simplicity. Hailed for her "simply magnificent traditional singing" by Irish Music Magazine, Niamh has collected songs from both contemporary and traditional sources...more
Niamh Parsons has come to be known as one of Ireland's most distinctive singers. Her earthy, sensuous voice has drawn comparisons to such venerated singers as Dolores Keane, June Tabor and Sandy Denny. The great Scottish balladeer Archie Fisher said of her, "a songstress like her comes along once or twice in a generation."
Never has this been more clear than on Niamh's (pronounced "Neeve") latest album, Heart's Desire (Green Linnet, 2002), produced by Dennis Cahill. As with her two previous releases, she furthers the tradition of Irish song with heartfelt delivery and unadorned settings. The collection of songs is drawn from both traditional sources and modern writers, including Mark Knopfler and Andy Irvine. Heart's Desire has received glowing reviews, and named "Celtic Album of the Year" by the Association for Independent Music (AFIM).
Born and raised in Dublin, Niamh and her sister learned to love traditional Irish singing and harmonizing from their father, Jack Parsons, to whom Niamh dedicates Heart's Desire. "Daddy had a beautiful voice," she says, "and a great ear for a good song." Her mother was also a singer and a set dancer from Co. Clare. The family would often join in song at the local Dublin singers' club, to which Niamh still attends.
Niamh's passion for singing blossomed naturally into a penchant for collecting songs. She is always on the lookout for songs, new and old, that speak to her-listening to new albums, scouring the Traditional Music Archives in Dublin, sharing notes with a network of friends and other singers. Once she discovers a song she likes, Niamh views herself as the vehicle for the music. "For me the song is more important than listening to my voice," she says. "I consider myself more a songstress than a singer - a carrier of tradition."
Throughout her career, Niamh has performed with a wide variety of artists, and has appeared at nearly every prestigious folk festival on either side of the Atlantic. As a member of the traditional Irish band Arcady (led by De Dannan's Johnny "Ringo" McDonagh), she is featured on the group's AFIM-awarded CD Many Happy Returns. She appeared before President Clinton and Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern in Washington, joined Grammy Award winner Paul Winter for an album and a summer concert in New York, and performed on A Prairie Home Companion when the show broadcast live from Dublin.
Niamh's recording career began with The Loose Connections, a band of top-notch Belfast musicians she formed with songwriter and bass-player Dee Moore. The band recorded two albums of contemporary and traditional material together. Their debut recording, Loosely Connected (Greentrax, 1992; Green Linnet, 1995) met with the highest of praise. A beautiful mix of traditional Irish and contemporary songs, it featured the memorable "Tinkerman's Daughter" and featured Brian Kennedy, piper John McSherry (Lúnasa, Coolfin), and accordionist Alan Kelly.
The Loose Connections' second album, Loosen Up (Green Linnet, 1997) was another buoyant mix of originals and well-chosen contemporary ballads, like the gorgeous "Cloinhinne Winds" and Tom Waits' "The Briar and the Rose," a powerful a cappella duet with Fran McPhail of the Voice Squad. Once again the album featured first-class musicians, including guitarist Gavin Ralston (Mike Scott, Sharon Shannon) and Kilkenny accordion player Mick McAuley (now with Solas).
In 1999, Niamh took a bold step and returned to her roots with her first solo album, Blackbirds and Thrushes (Green Linnet) a collection of traditional Irish ballads gathered from over 15 years of Niamh's singing repertoire. In her words, "these songs are living in me." The album won instant acclaim as a welcome return to traditionalism. The Boston Globe declared that it "expressed the sorrow and longing of the Celtic soul more deeply than any within recent memory", and Irish Music Magazine called it "simply magnificent traditional singing."
Keeping in form, Niamh's next CD In My Prime (Green Linnet 2000) was another collection of mostly traditional material, and again received widespread praise. Folk Roots named it one of the top albums of the year and The Irish Voice called the album "a must-have disc for lovers of Irish song." It also saw the emergence of Niamh's new accompanist, talented young guitarist Graham Dunne. The album was nominated for Album of the Year by BBC Radio 2 (UK) and the Association for Independent Music (US).
With Heart's Desire the newest addition, it is a body of work that has proven Niamh Parsons one of the premier vocalists of her time and a keeper of the flame in Irish traditional song.
"Simply magnificent traditional singing." - Irish Music Magazine
"Let's cut to the chase. Niamh Parsons has a drop-dead, stop-you-in-your-tracks, unbelievably gorgeous voice." - Calgary Herald
"Niamh Parsons sings like an angel." - Chicago Tribune
"It's quite, quite wonderful, throw back the head stuff, utterly devoid of pretense or preciousness." - Hot Press (Ireland)
"Subtle and expressive in delivery... one of those singers who sounds totally wrapped up in the meaning and message of everything she performs." - The Scotsman
"One of the freshest and brightest on the Irish music scene today. Her strong expressively husky voice combines some of the best qualities of such stalwart vocalists as Dolores Keane and June Tabor. She has Keane's gift for emotive sweep and Tabor's talent for deep-rooted interpretation." - Irish Echo
In My Prime
"Irish singer Niamh Parsons proves by this CD that she's still very much indeed in her prime....She's done it again here with, with more lovely songs from Ireland and beyond. But it's not just the beauty of the songs that makes this CD, it's what Parsons does with each song. She breathes sweet life - and sometimes bittersweet sorrow - into each word as she lifts the lyrics off the page and sets them flying." - Pulse!
"A diva in her prime....dusky mature vocal chords, beautiful, coaxing musicality and phrasing, and heart slicing emotion." - Irish Times
"Parsons has a beautiful voice, with a wide range which maintains purity from crystalline soprano down to throaty alto. What makes In My Prime a great recording (other than her considerable ability) is her comfort with the material and awareness of where her strengths lie." - Irish Herald
"For anyone who hasn't been paying attention over the last few years, Niamh Parsons has a drop-dead gorgeous voice and is a stunning singer of anything from traditional ballads to contemporary rock....What makes Niamh so outstanding is her ability to just let herself be the vehicle for a good song, rather than taking it by the neck and 'making it hers'. By going back to these songs in her prime, she breathes new life and freshness into them." - Folk Roots
"Niamh Parsons has quietly become one of Ireland's leading traditional singers. Her voice has an expressive subtlety and warmth that few other singers have...Perhaps the best parts are the two unaccompanied songs that truly show the power and timelessness of her voice. A recording that will sound as fresh 10 years from now as it does today." - Dirty Linen
Blackbirds and Thrushes
"This album from emerging star Niamh Parsons Blackbirds & Thrushes expresses the sorrow and longing of the Celtic soul more deeply than any within recent memory. Parsons relies on simple accompaniment and a lovely heartache of a voice...Spare settings allow every nuance of her splendid voice to shine through." - The Boston Globe
"A marvel of musical purity and unadorned charm, its 12 songs exude a pristine beauty that grows more fetching with each new listening. The Dublin-based Parsons is a splendid singer, and her purity of tone, shimmering clarity and heartfelt delivery perfectly serve the timeless airs and laments featured here." - San Diego Union-Tribune
"Niamh Parsons may be well known for her work with Arcady and with her own band, the Loose Connections, but she is also an outstanding solo artiste. She has put together an impressive collection of songs, all painstakingly researched and immaculately presented, a true labor of love." - The Living Tradition
"Parsons' beautifully crafted phrases, sharp vocal control and soulful tone makes even the most melancholic song riveting." - CMJ New Music Report

After Eli by Rebecca Rupp; Candlewick Press, 245 pages ($15.99) Ages 8 to 12.
Rebecca Rupp is a gifted author of novels for young readers, with a remarkable talent for creating appealing characters and portraying realistic situations of families in midst of crisis.
Eleven-year-old Daniel Anderson is devastated by the death of his older brother Eli, killed by an IED while serving as a combat medic in Iraq. With his mother a zombie from grief and his father more distant and more critical than ever, Danny creates a Book of the Dead, a binder filled with details about how people died (Archimedes stabbed to death; George Mallory, killed climbing Everest; Jenny Wade, 20, killed by a bullet in her kitchen while making bread during the Battle of Gettysburg) as he struggles alone to deal with his grief.
Eli was beloved, talented and brilliant. Danny can't seem to do anything right. Then he discovers Walter, a classmate and outcast, is a good person; so is Eli's friend Jim, a recovering addict who grows black carrots and blue potatoes on his organic farm. Danny also discovers Isabelle, an exotic transplant from New York City, living in a decrepit old mansion with her parents and her twin siblings.
This lovely novel, dedicated to "all the families left behind," sensitively explores the trauma of a family rent by loss, of a boy learning to live with the massive hole in his life left by the death of his brother and best friend.

When General Grant Expelled the Jews by Jonathan Sarna; Schocken Books; 148 pages ($24.95)
Civil War hero Ulysses S. Grant, our 18th president, issued an anti-Jewish edict as general that targeted the removal of Jews "as a class" from a war zone in an attempt to remove profiteers. It was rescinded by President Abraham Lincoln three weeks later, but the anger and concern it unleashed among Jews fearing government-sponsored anti-Semitism, and their future relationship with Grant as he ran for and then served as president are the subject of Jonathan D. Sarna's "When Grant Expelled the Jews.
The book details how Jews of the day grappled with Gen. Grant's order, and how as president he atoned by forging close relations with Jewish leaders and appointing more Jews to his administration than any president before him. It's an interesting look back into a historical act that carried grave implications, and resulted in redemptive acts by one of the country's leading figures.

City of Saints by Andrew Hunt; Minotaur, 336 pages ($24.99)
Salt Lake City in 1930 was a fast-growing town with big-city concerns, dominated by the striking divisions between the wealthy and the middle class, between Mormons and non-Mormons. This Depression-era Utah background proves to be an evocative and mesmerizing setting for this first-class mystery from debut novelist Andrew Hunt.
Art Oveson is a young Salt Lake County deputy who also is a loving family man and a committed Mormon. Art is forever haunted by the still-unsolved murder of his father, a decorated officer who was being groomed to be Salt Lake City police chief. Art is often overshadowed by his brothers, each of whom has risen in various law enforcement agencies. Art and his foul-mouthed partner Roscoe Lund become involved with the high-profile murder investigation of Helen Pfalzgraf, the young wife of the area's most prominent doctor. The case takes Art and Roscoe into prominent homes and back alleys as they learn surprising dark secrets about Salt Lake City. The two also must navigate around the unscrupulous sheriff who is running for re-election.

HAIRSPRAY: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL- Jackson
Center Stage Jackson is pleased to announce the opening of HAIRSPRAY: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL, to be performed June 14-16 and 21-23, 2013 in the Baughman Theatre at Jackson Community College's Potter Center.

In Egypt Clashes, Civilians Oppose Protesters
At Least 80 Killed Across Egypt; Cairo Ends Day on Lockdown, Patrolled by Neighborhood Committees
CAIRO—As a day of clashes that left dozens more Egyptians dead turned to night, the country's teeming capital fell quiet—with downtown streets almost stripped of traffic, new security checkpoints going up on major roads and civilians seen patrolling their neighborhoods against what they said was the threat of Muslim Brotherhood protesters.
"We're looking for terrorists," said one of these civilians, as he popped open car trunks in downtown Cairo as Egypt's military curfew approached.
Civilian members of so-called popular committees like this one—created amid Egypt's upheaval to patrol their neighborhoods—sprung to duty Friday evening, carrying poles and sometimes guns.
But the rise of the popular committees illustrates how little faith Egyptian civilians have in the ability of the country's security forces to protect them, raising the dangerous possibility that the police and military are losing legitimacy in the eyes of the people, whether antigovernment or pro-government supporters. The police on Thursday urged Egyptians not to form popular committees, saying they were capable of protecting the people.
At up to a half-dozen points in the city before dusk, members of several of these bands could be seen breaking up sidewalks and piling up the debris to create checkpoints to stop strangers from entering their neighborhoods.
That capped what Muslim Brotherhood protesters called a Day of Rage—called to mourn the dead after Egyptian security forces cracked down Wednesday on supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi, leaving more than 600 people dead.
Across Egypt, at least 80 people died in violence between security forces and protesters on Friday, while 1,004 were arrested—more than half in Cairo —state television reported.
By nightfall, some 400 protesters at Ramses Square had sought refuge in the mosque there, worried about venturing home and facing arrest on Cairo's streets. On Saturday morning the protesters were still camped out in the mosque, despite being tear-gassed by police, who entered the mosque to try to convince those inside to leave. Riot police surrounded the mosque, images from state media showed.
Clashes between pro-Brotherhood protesters and security forces killed eight people in the Mediterranean coastal town of Damietta, with several others killed in the Suez Canal town of Ismailia; in Fayoum, south of Cairo; and in Tanta, in the Nile Delta.
The government didn't offer any statistics about a death toll in the capital, where the largest protests occurred—and where witness accounts of the toll appeared to outstrip the state figures.
At least 31 bodies were viewed in the late afternoon in a mosque-turned-makeshift-morgue on central Cairo's Ramses Square after protesters drew fire from a police station there. The square was the center of protests on Friday, after supporters of Mr. Morsi gathered at 28 mosques across greater Cairo to attend noon prayers before converging on the square.
Skirmishes continued in the afternoon around the square, underscoring how the Muslim Brotherhood protesters are being opposed not only by Egypt's security forces, but also apparently by citizens.
Late Friday afternoon, with several thousand Muslim Brotherhood marchers already gathered on Ramses Square, other marchers could be seen on two nearby bridges, attempting to reach the area. One of the protest groups appeared to come under fire from buildings in the neighborhood, and could be seen throwing Molotov cocktails in return.
On Thursday, Egypt's security forces were issued live ammunition and orders to protect the nation and government buildings from what the military-led government call "terrorist" acts. Security forces reaffirmed Friday that they would deal harshly with any violations of the law, according to a statement that ran on Egyptian state television.
As Friday's curfew hour passed, protesters at Ramses Square continued to demonstrate. A fire broke out in the upper floors of a nearby commercial building at about 8 p.m., later spreading to a medical center. It wasn't clear how it started.
The Brotherhood-led Anti-Coup Alliance later called on supporters to withdraw from the streets after nighttime prayers to "preserve human lives and reassure that our peacefulness is our strength."
Earlier Friday, the alliance called for a week of protests to oust the military's powerful chief, Gen. Abdel Fattah Al Sisi.
One of the marches that reached Ramses Square on Friday started after noon prayers at the Nour Mosque in the Abassiya district of Cairo. There, Brotherhood supporters mourned those who were killed earlier in the week during the clashes at Raba'a al Adiwiya and Nahda squares. As in many other mosques, a heated sermon riled emotions.
"We hope for quick investigations about the massacres that happened, or else curses from heavens and earth will fall on us," the imam of the mosque said over a loudspeaker. "God, please make Egypt an Islamic state, support freedom on earth, destroy tyrants and destroy the media that is supported by tyrants."
Such sentiments met stiff opposition at close range. Residents of Abassiya, which is also home to Egypt's Ministry of Defense, grumbled about the Brotherhood. "Tell Obama the truth—we don't accept this terrorism!" said one onlooker, as a group of about 50 men lined the sidewalk behind him, glaring toward the mosque.
Afterward, about 300 Brotherhood supporters descended the Nour Mosque's steep steps to march toward Ramses Square, a few miles away.
"Either we die like they did [in Raba'a] or we get revenge for our martyrs!" the crowd chanted. "Down with the military, the police are thugs!"
"It's going to be Islamic despite the secularists!" the crowd continued.
Some secularists, too, joined the protests, concerned over the preservation of a democratic system they shed blood to achieve during the 2011 revolution.
"I don't support the Brotherhood but my vote was violated," said Youssef Mahmoud, a clean-shaven 23-year-old student. "I came here for democracy."
The group from Nour Mosque reached Ramses Square, joining other streams to form a crowd of several thousand people.
At around 2 p.m., as part of the crowd moved toward a police station on the square, a few young boys started throwing rocks. Other protesters tried to stop them. Then came the sound of gunfire—swiftly, without apparent warning or the use of tear gas, a typical crowd-control measure.
Hundreds of protesters stampeded down a bridge, one of the many that crisscross above Ramses Square.
By around 3:30 p.m., the nearby Al Fatah Mosque had received dozens of injured and dead. At least 31 bodies, many apparently dead from gunshot wounds, could be seen laid out on the mosque's green-carpeted floor. More bodies were brought in on planks or the seats of wooden benches, which had been turned into emergency gurneys.
Volunteer medical staff struggled to get dozens of injured out of the square, where they could receive medical attention. Fights broke out at the mosque's blood stained steps as friends and family members tried to enter to check if their loved ones were there.
Inside the mosque, volunteer doctors performed simple surgeries or administered CPR. The white coats and abayas of the doctors and nurses were stained with blood and iodine. Piles of medicine lay atop two broad tables.
One medic vigorously pumped down on a dying protester's chest, the right side of his face swollen with the bullet lodged in his head, open flesh revealing brain matter. Cotton swabs soaked in blood circled his head.
The medic tried to revive the man's heart for a few minutes, finally placing his hands on the floor, dropping his head. "It's done," the medic said. Onlookers began to wail.
Nearby, Ahmed Tharwat, 23 years old, cried as he looked at the body of his dead friend, covered with a white sheet but his face exposed.
Mr. Tharwat said he and the friend, Mohammed, had been helping a man wounded by birdshot, creating makeshift tourniquets out of ripped shirts. Mohammed turned to him and said "I'm going to go become a martyr," Ahmed recalled.
Shortly afterward, Mohammed was shot and taken to the mosque, dead upon arrival.
"They are mercilessly shooting us," Mr. Tharwat said.
Back in the streets of Ramses Square, a crowd turned on a man in civilian clothes, alleging he was with Egyptian security forces and had shot into the crowd.
Several protesters were seen hitting him with poles while others tried to protect him. His bloodied body was retrieved by some protesters, his head swaying side to side, unconscious. It was unclear whether he was dead, or where he was being taken.
"He's military," one man explained.

BELOIT - West Branch senior Connor Sharp is flying off to play football for the Air Force Academy.
Sharp made his decision on Jan. 30 after receiving a call from recruiting coach Matt Weikert and signed his official letter of intent on Wednesday.
"My dad was a pilot in the Air Force for 10 years," Sharp said. "It's a good education. one of the best in the country. It's in a beautiful place and I get to play football."
Sharp received a full scholarship from Air Force. He also received an offer from Youngstown State.
"It was just a nicer place to be than Youngstown and I liked the idea of going out to the Academy," Sharp said. "It's a better chance. If you go to the academy, you can pretty much get a job anywhere in the country."
"Anytime you get a Division I scholarship it's a big accomplishment," West Branch football coach D.J. Dota said. "But I think with any of the military schools it's a bit more special, especially when you want to go there which is something I know he wanted to do. It's no an easy task. I don't know if you'll have the normal life that any other college students will have but it's something he wants to do and it's pretty special for him to be able to go do."
Sharp, a second-team Division III All-Ohioan, guided West Branch to its first Northeastern Buckeye Conference title in 11 years. He helped pave the way up front for Brenden Wells, who set school career records for most yards rushing (3,747) and most touchdowns (44).
Sharp is undecided in his major, but said after graduation at the academy he plans to attend pilot training school. The flight training last about a year and then he will be required to serve a five-year commitment after he graduates.
"The five-year commitment doesn't bother me at all," Sharp said. "By the time I'm 45, I could be retired. I feel like it's a good opportunity. If I want to make a career out of it I can or of not I could go out and get a job somewhere."
The 6-foot-4, 279-pound offensive and defensive lineman will find himself at center or guard when fall rolls around.
"There's no doubt that I feel like he's a guy that he can play at that level," Dota said. " I think he will be very successful there. I haven't been able to coach too many Division I linemen, but there's no doubt he should be playing at that level."
"Air Force runs a realty tricky offense (the triple option), you have to be smart to know their offense and be good in their program," Sharp said. "I think that I'm' smart enough to do and they like tough and hard nosed kids and I feel like I'm one of those kids."
Sharp is also a heavyweight on the Warriors' wrestling team and came in third in the Division II state tournament last season. This year, he's already knocked off the top-ranked wrestler, Billy Miller, and has taken three out of four matches against him in his career.
"I've gotten a lot better and I think I'm going to outlast him and be able to beat him this year," Sharp said.
Miller lost to Sharp in the state consolation match last year.
Before he gets to Colorado Springs, Sharp will be playing in the annual North-South game on April 27 at Welcome Stadium in Dayton.
"I think it's pretty cool," Sharp said. "We have practices down in Dayton. They're going to be on Sundays coming up soon."
Sharp's parents have been fully supportive of his decision to attend the Air Force Academy and that his father's (Rodger Sharp) career in the Air Force included three tours over seas and a tour in South America.
"They told me that it's going to be hard and if I want to do it I can't black out of it because its a huge scholarship I'm getting," Sharp said. "I'm not going to get the chance to do it again, so I want to do the best that I can."
Dota added that Sharp's competitiveness and captaincy this season served a large role in the Warriors ability to rush the football this year.
"Number one I think he really likes to compete, he doesn't like to lose and that's an important part in competing," Dota said. "I think that when he goes there that he's going to blossom because he's going to be at that level. He's a very smart kid, and I think he really understands football and that's only going to help him."
Minerva senior Jake Riley committed to the Air Force Academy during the summer.
Sharp said he had not been in contact with Riley and having another member of the Northeastern Buckeye Conference at the Academy didn't factor into his decision.
Riley, who was recruited as a linebacker, missed half of his senior due to injury but still completed 63 of 124 passes for 970 yards and nine touchdowns and ran for 649 yards and 11 touchdowns on 113 carries (5.8). On defense, he recorded 39 tackles, including 17 solos.

Stewart married his longtime girlfriend, Brooklyn singer and songwriter Sunny Ozell, on Saturday afternoon, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The ceremony took place beside Lake Tahoe in front of 100 friends and family. The bride wore a white French lace dress by Temperley London.
"Yes, married," the actor, best known for traveling the galaxy as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, wrote alongside a Twitpic of himself and his new bride having a ball, their bodies submerged up to their heads in a ball pit.
And who officiated the nuptials but Sir Ian McKellan, Stewart's friend and costar in the X-Men franchise?
"I did my part," McKellan, 74, posted on his Facebook page, alongside a photo showing the actor sporting his "Doctor of Divinity" license and a T-shirt reading "Minister."
Stewart, 73, and Ozell, 35, have dated since 2009, with some hints recently that a marriage might take place.
McKellan appeared to let the cat out of the bag during a March appearance on the British talk show The Jonathan Ross Show when he said, "I'm going to marry Patrick. I'm going to officiate at his wedding."
And on Saturday Ozell Tweeted a photo of her feet, toes painted red, immersed in crystal-clear water, lake stones at the bottom.
"Don't tell me you're getting cold feet!!!!" one of her followers responded.
The marriage is Stewart's third. He was previously married to Sheila Falconer, from 1966-1990, and Wendy Neuss, from 2000-2003.

The Town of Moncks Corner has a house it wants to give away.
All you have to do is figure out a way to move it.
The Town recently purchased the properties located at 105 White Street and the adjacent lot on the corner of White and Heatley Streets. The two-story house is located on this property, and the town, rather than have it torn down, wants to sell the house for nothing and have it moved.
While the house is in need of restoration and renovation, Public Services Director Butch Svagerko said the building is structurally sound.
The floors are in decent shape and are the old style type of hardwood flooring and the structural integrity of the house is in decent shape.
Svagerko said a number of World War II and Korean War era newspapers and magazines were still in remarkably good shape.
The pages were yellowed but they were all dry, which should tell you the roof doesnt leak, he said.
The intent of the purchase is to increase the towns green space while providing much needed parking for the downtown area. With this in mind, the house will need to be removed, Svagerko said. The Town is currently listing the house for removal at no cost to any qualified party interested.
Details for qualifications regarding this transaction will be listed on www.Govdeals.com starting May 5 for a six week period.

From the panoramic restaurant one can enjoy wonderful views of the "Gstaad Dolomites". This is also the starting point for three climbing routes of varying degrees of difficulty, fantastic mountain bike tours and unlimited flying for paragliders.
Even hikers have the best views on the easy three and a half hour trail through the "stone desert" of La Pierreuse far down towards Château d'Œx. Its 34 square kilometres make La Pierreuse the largest protected area in western Switzerland, while showcasing the typical characteristics of the Pre-Alps - rocky areas, forests, fens and a wealth of flora shape the scenery.
It is worth making a detour to the alp of the same name before visiting the hot air balloon exhibition in Château d'Œx and admiring the museum's collection of silhouette cuttings, or scissor cuttings. A visit to Le Chalet to taste cheese that has been produced according to age old traditions is also well worth the trip.

The streets of Elkins have been crowded this week as people streamed into town to enjoy the 77th Mountain State Forest Festival.
Local residents have been heard to comment in recent days that the town got crowded very early this week, theorizing that this may be one of the best-attended Forest Festivals on record.
There's no way of proving or disproving that theory at this point, as the most crowded day of Festival week - Saturday, with the beloved Grand Feature Parade - is yet to come.
However, it's clear that the variety of quality entertainment - much of it free - available downtown, and the unseasonably warm, sunny weather, are bringing people out in droves this year.
Which is good for the Festival, and good for Elkins. The population of this small town swells to many times its regular number this one week out of the year, and that is a plus for the Elkins economy, and the town's reputation among tourists.
Elkins natives can remember what the Forest Festival meant to them as children - how exciting and yet comfortable it was, year after year through our childhoods. It's a feeling that's hard to come by as adults, but we may feel it again when we attend a favorite MSFF?event, or see how much happiness the Forest Festival is bringing to others.
And, best of all, we can feel it when we see the Forest Festival through our children's eyes. Once again, it is a magical time.
We encourage all local residents to get out and experience some of that Festival fun and magic for themselves. It only comes once a year, so let's make the most of it.
