Stuart Broad expects the enthusiasm to return to England's cricketers under Peter Moores.
Moores' second stint as boss begins on Friday in Aberdeen in a one-day fixture with Scotland after a torrid winter where England were whitewashed by Australia in the Ashes and humbled by Holland in the World Twenty20 tournament.
"I'd expect to see the side play with a lot of passion and enthusiasm this summer, which I'm not out of place in saying was missing in Australia," said Broad, who was given his England debut by Moores.
"There's a lot of enthusiasm about him coming back into the set-up. Just having a couple of little meetings with him you get how excited, how logically he talks about the game of cricket.
"I'd worked with him on the national academy and he made a middle practice at Loughborough University feel like a Test match.
"He has the ability to enthuse players. Just from chatting within the guys since his appointment, he's got the respect of everyone around now and that's the only important thing.
"Hopefully in a year's time we can play the sort of cricket where we won't even remember last winter."
Moores was undermined by senior personnel during his first spell as coach from 2007 to 2009, with then captain Kevin Pietersen particularly culpable.
Pietersen's future has shrouded England for some time, with debate raging even since the record runscorer was discarded from the set-up following the Ashes whitewash in Australia.
England managing director Paul Downton described Pietersen as "disconnected" from the team and the batsman was culpable in an apparent coup which ended Moores' first spell as England coach in 2009.
Broad thinks England must now move forward.
Broad added: "It's obviously a new era and you wouldn't have thought Mooresy would be coach if KP would've been (playing); well, he wouldn't be, would he?
"Everything happens for a reason and I think Mooresy is the right man to bring a lot of energy and passion back to this England side."
Asked if he expects Pietersen to pop into the England dressing room during the first test of this summer against Sri Lanka, which begins on June 12, Broad said: "It would surprise me if he nipped in.
"Of course he'd be welcome, but, actually, there's a sign on the door at Lord's. It says: 'Anyone welcome at the captain and coach's discretion'. So...
"Fortunately I won't be captain at Lord's and it won't be my call."
Broad hopes to be fit for the Sri Lanka Test series after a niggling knee injury.
He has returned to running this week, will bowl next and plans to play in Nottinghamshire's County Championship match with Durham, which begins on May 25, and at Sussex.
Broad added: "Missing the Sri Lanka one-day series gives the opportunity to guys, 15 ODIs away from the World Cup.
"It also gives me a really good chance to get my knee a bit stronger and play some Championship cricket before the Test matches."

Propellantless Space Drive Called "EmDrive" Made in China

It's a a propellantless microwave thruster that defies Newton's laws of motion
Chinese scientists have taken on a heavily criticized space drive idea that could one day launch satellites, deep space probes and even flying cars.
The research team hails from Northwestern Polytechnic University in Xi'an, and was led by Yang Juan. What they developed was a propellantless microwave thruster called EmDrive, which is a controversial idea because it goes against Newton's laws of motion -- and many have claimed to create a "propellantless" thruster before and failed.
Newton's laws of motion are all based on the idea that firing propellant out of the back at a high speed will push a craft forward. While
solar cells offer infinite power
, thrust is limited by propellant. Many have tried to get around this, but several scams have made this particular field a joke in the scientific world.
While space drives tend to rely on Newton's laws of motion, the EmDrive is a closed, conical container that has a net thrust toward the wide end when filled with resonating microwaves. This goes against Newton, who said that no closed system could have a net thrust. However, EmDrive works because the microwaves have a group velocity (the speed of a collection of electromagnetic waves) that is greater in one direction than the other -- which is where Albert Einstein's theory of relativity comes in.
British engineer Robert Shaywer, who began looking at the concept of a propellantless thruster when he opened his own company called Satellite Propulsion Research in 2001, is the original creator of the EmDrive. He made demonstration thrusters to prove it could be done, and even made sure the test results were accurate (meaning, the results weren't affected by friction, ionization, air currents, electromagnetic effects or interference). The first, made in 2003, had a thrust of 16 mN. This was enough to show it could be done.
However, he received a ton of criticism for his idea and was ridiculed in his own country. But the Chinese team at Northwestern Polytechnic University believed in his research and took the project head on to author the latest study, "Net Thrust Measurement of Propellantless Microwave Thruster."
The Northwestern Polytechnic University team was able to create the EmDrive with 720 mN of thrust with a couple of kilowatts of power.
So what purpose does EmDrive have? It could halve launch costs of satellites because as much as half
the launch weight
of these objects are attributed to propellant.
Shawyer is even working on a superconducting thruster that could be ready as soon as 2016. It would boost the Q value of the cavity, which determines the amount of thrust produced. He said it could be boosted by a factor of several thousand, possibly equating to a tonne of thrust per kilowatt of power.

Coco and the Fine Art of Tweeting
I'm only just now discovering that Ice T's wife Coco has a Twitter account, and it seems like she's using it to post provocative photos of herself. Which makes perfect sense when you think about it. When you're a woman with obscenely large breasts you really only have two choices on how to spend your day: Take classy pictures of yourself or fight crime. Clearly Coco choose the more altruistic option.

AN entire row of shops in Westhoughton has been wiped out in a huge fire that destroyed six businesses.
Shops in School Street, next to St Bartholomew's CE School, are closed today as an investigation got underway into the cause of the blaze, which broke out just before 10pm last night.
The fire started on the first floor and destroyed the roof of several shops, which are close to the junction of Market Street.
More than 20 firefighters, including those using an aerial platform, tackled the fire at its height, while trying to limit the damage to businesses by salvaging and protecting equipment.
The owners of AK Embroidery are among those affected by the fire.
It was opened five years ago and has proved popular with locals.
Co-owner Alison Harlick, who opened the business with Kelly Foster, said: "I am just in shock at the moment.
"I am not allowed to go in to see the damage and see where we stand with insurance. We will know more in the next few days.
"We all received a phone call during the night about the fire and I just feel awful."
Other shops on the precinct include a pole fitness studio, body fitness, beauty salon with the banner opening soon, printers, dry cleaners and a gift shop.
The pole fitness studio was started by entrepreneur and fitness fanatic Jess Leanne Norris, who sparked controversy when she opened a pole dancing business in her parents' living room.
Fortunately Barty's Kids Club was not affected by the blaze and was open as usual.
Firefighters from Atherton, Bolton Central, Hindley, Farnworth, Leigh and Eccles, who tackled the blaze last night, said the roof was well alight when they arrived, but they worked hard to stop the fire from spreading.
Watch Manager Ian Gardner, from Atherton fire station, said: "The building has been extensively damaged in the blaze.
"When we arrived we could see flames coming through the roof.
"We had to cordon off the roads nearby as it is a busy junction and we had the dangerous building inspector at the scene last night."
The incident was scaled down in the early hours and crews left the scene at about 9am today.
Watch manager David Campbell, from Eccles Fire Station, added: "We've been helping some of the shop owners recover items and stock, and we've been assisting them with business continuity.
"The fire has affected about six businesses — some are more affected then others — but luckily the buildings were unoccupied when the fire started on Sunday night.
"We worked hard to get the surrounding roads re-opened as soon as possible with it being a Monday morning."
Cllr David Wilkinson said: "Some of the businesses, like Torque, have only been open for a few weeks. For a fire to affect so many businesses is just terrible."
The premises have been declared safe, but the cause of the fire is being investigated.
Landlord Lee Bevan said his team had cleared up the roof slates off the pavement so the footpath could reopen and he was working to get the businesses back open.
He said: "The businesses downstairs are water damaged and the fire damage is to the roof area.
"The building is safe and we are now working to get the businesses open as soon as possible.
"The dry cleaners have other premises so will be able to carry on their business there and the beauty and tanning place's opening will be delayed.
"The printing business is managed by my wife so we can manage that.
"I know these people and it's about getting them back in so they can open."
Mr Bevan praised the firefighters' efforts in helping to save the businesses during the incident.
- In the winter of 1990 a massive blaze ripped through Westhoughton Parish Church, which is across the road from the shops.
The fire started in the vestry and tore through the church within minutes - at its height 80 firefighters were at the scene.

NY Philharmonic Presents THE BEETHOVEN PIANO CONCERTOS, Featuring Yefim Bronfman, Now thru 6/21
The Beethoven Piano Concertos: A Philharmonic Festival will continue with Music Director Alan Gilbert conducting Beethoven's Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3, featuring The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence Yefim Bronfman as soloist, and the World Premiere-New York Philharmonic Commission of Sean Shepherd's Songs, tonight, June 18, 2014, at 7:30 p.m.; Thursday, June 19 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, June 20 at 8:00 p.m.; and Saturday, June 21 at 8:00 p.m.
Sean Shepherd was named the 2012 Kravis Emerging Composer - bestowed on an up-and-coming composer as part of The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music - and Songs is his work commissioned by the Philharmonic as part of the honor. The work explores why and where song occurs in three connected sections: Fair, Chapel, and Cradle. The idea of exploring song came out of Shepherd's conversations with Alan Gilbert, who conducted the World Premiere of his These Particular Circumstances, commissioned by the Philharmonic, on the inaugural season of CONTACT!, the Philharmonic's new-music series, in 2010. "Alan wanted me to develop the inherent lyricism he saw in the music I wrote for CONTACT!," Sean Shepherd said. "What's more lyrical than song? The obvious challenge is decide how to create a song with just an orchestra - no singer and no words."
Mr. Shepherd dedicated Songs to Alan Gilbert. "I have consistently felt buoyed and embraced by Alan and the Philharmonic," Mr. Shepherd said. "Alan has very deep, musical, committed reasons for supporting the kinds of composers he does, and he takes big risks. I've really appreciated seeing members of the Orchestra appreciate new music; I think they have a lot of fun."
"It was always a dream of mine to play the Beethoven cycle with a major orchestra like the New York Philharmonic," Yefim Bronfman said. "I've practiced this music every day since I was a child, and the more I practice it, the more I struggle, and the more questions I have, and the fewer answers I get."
The Beethoven Piano Concertos: A Philharmonic Festival concludes June 24-28, 2014, when Alan Gilbert leads Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5, Emperor, with Yefim Bronfman as soloist, and Beethoven's Triple Concerto, with Yefim Bronfman, Principal Cello Carter Brey, and Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow in his final appearances as Concertmaster before concluding his 34-year tenure.
The Beethoven Piano Concertos is the first confluence of the Philharmonic's multi-week festival and Artist-in-Residence position, two initiatives Alan Gilbert launched at the beginning of his tenure in the 2009-10 season. In past seasons, Philharmonic festivals have included The Russian Stravinsky (conducted by Valery Gergiev), Hungarian Echoes (conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen), The Modern Beethoven (conducted by David Zinman), and The Bach Variations (conducted by Masaaki Suzuki, Alan Gilbert, András Schiff, and Bernard Labadie).
Composer Victoria Bond will introduce the program. Pre-Concert Talks are $7; discounts available for multiple talks, students, and groups. They take place one hour before these performances in the Helen Hull Room, unless otherwise noted. Attendance is limited to 90 people. For more information, visit nyphil.org/preconcert or visit (212) 875-5656.
The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence Yefim Bronfman discusses The Beethoven Piano Concertos: A Philharmonic Festival, his first-ever cycle of this august oeuvre with the New York Philharmonic, which includes the Triple Concerto, the work with which he made his Philharmonic debut 35 years ago, on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 at 7:30pm. Tickets for Insights Series events are free; subscribers, Friends at the Affiliate level and above, and Patrons may request reserved seating by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Space is
The program will be broadcast the week of July 13, 2014, on The New York Philharmonic This Week, a radio concert series syndicated weekly to more than 300 stations nationally, and to 122 outlets internationally, by the WFMT Radio Network. The 52-week series is hosted by actor Alec Baldwin. The broadcast will be available on the Philharmonic's Website, nyphil.org. The program is broadcast locally in the New York metropolitan area on 105.9 FM WQXR on Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. Information subject to change.
Music Director Alan Gilbert began his New York Philharmonic tenure in September 2009, the first native New Yorker in the post. He and the Philharmonic have introduced the positions of The Marie-Josee Kravis Composer-In-Residence and The Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence; CONTACT!, the new-music series; and, beginning in the spring of 2014, the NY PHIL BIENNIAL.
In addition to inaugurating the NY PHIL BIENNIAL, in the 2013-14 season Alan Gilbert conducts Mozart's three final symphonies; the U.S. Premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's Frieze coupled with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony; world premieres; an all-Britten program celebrating the composer's centennial; the score from 2001: A Space Odyssey as the film was screened; and a staged production of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd starring Bryn Terfel and Emma Thompson. He continues The Nielsen Project - the multi-year initiative to perform and record the Danish composer's symphonies and concertos, the first release of which was named by The New York Times as among the Best Classical Music Recordings of 2012 - and presides over the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour. Last season's highlights included Bach's B-minor Mass; Ives's Fourth Symphony; the EUROPE / SPRING 2013 tour; and the season-concluding A Dancer's Dream, a multidisciplinary reimagining of Stravinsky's The Fairy's Kiss and Petrushka, created by Giants Are Small and starring New York City Ballet principal dancer Sara Mearns.
Mr. Gilbert is Director of Conducting and Orchestral Studies and holds the William Schuman Chair in Musical Studies at The Juilliard School. Conductor laureate of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and principal guest conductor of Hamburg's NDR Symphony Orchestra, he regularly conducts leading orchestras around the world. He made his acclaimed Metropolitan Opera debut conducting John Adams's Doctor Atomic in 2008, the DVD of which received a Grammy Award. Renée Fleming's recent Decca recording Poèmes, on which he conducted, received a 2013 Grammy Award. His recordings have received top honors from the Chicago
Tribune and Gramophone magazine. In May 2010 Mr. Gilbert received an Honorary Doctor of Music degree from The Curtis Institute of Music and in December 2011, Columbia University's Ditson Conductor's Award for his "exceptional commitment to the performance of works by American composers and to contemporary music."
As the 2013-14 Mary and James G. Wallach Artist-in-Residence at the New York Philharmonic, Yefim Bronfman plays concertos by composers ranging from Tchaikovsky to Magnus Lindberg; appears in chamber concerts featuring works by Marc-André Dalbavie, Marc Neikrug, Schubert, Bartók, and others; traveled on the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour, performing Magnus Lindberg's Piano Concerto No. 2; and concludes the season with The Beethoven Piano Concertos: A Philharmonic Festival. Other highlights of Mr. Bronfman's 2013-14 season
include a tour with Pinchas Zukerman to Ottawa, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, Berkeley, and Vancouver; performing Beethoven with conductor Zubin Mehta at the Berlin Philharmonic's new spring residency in Baden-Baden; returns to the orchestras of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Boston, as well as Paris, Munich, Berlin, and Amsterdam; and a tour of Australia with Amsterdam's Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as part of its worldwide centenary celebrations. Mr. Bronfman was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2009 for his recording of Esa-Pekka Salonen's Piano Concerto, with Mr. Salonen conducting (released on Deutsche
Grammophon), having received a Grammy in 1997 for his recording of the three Bartók piano concertos with Mr. Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His performance of Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto with Andris Nelsons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra from the 2011 Lucerne Festival is now available on DVD. His most recent CD release is Lindberg's Piano Concerto No. 2, commissioned for him and performed by the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Alan Gilbert, on the Dacapo label. Born in Tashkent, in the Soviet Union, in 1958, Yefim Bronfman immigrated to Israel with his family in 1973. There he studied with pianist Arie Vardi, head of the Rubin Academy of Music at Tel Aviv University. He later studied in the United States, at The Juilliard School, Marlboro, and The Curtis Institute of Music, and with Rudolf Firkusny, Leon Fleisher, and Rudolf Serkin. He became an American citizen in July 1989. He last appeared with the Philharmonic in January 2014 and on the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour performing Magnus Lindberg's Piano Concerto No. 2, led by Alan Gilbert. On May 23, 2014, Mr. Bronfman will perform a chamber music concert, co-presented with 92nd Street Y, alongside Philharmonic musicians in works by Schubert, Bartók, and Brahms.
Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) premiered his Piano Concerto No. 2 (1793-95) at his public debut during a charity event for widows and orphans in 1795. He worked on the score until the last minute, completing it a mere two days before the performance, and the solo part was not fully written out (a situation he would repeat in later works). This concerto is strongly reminiscent of Mozart's works in the genre that Beethoven admired, though perhaps with a more robust orchestration and a bit more drama; while he admired his predecessor, he wanted to make his own mark. Despite its number, the Second Piano Concerto was actually composed first, but not published until 1801 while it underwent frequent and considerable revisions. The Orchestra's first presentation of the Second Concerto was in 1920, when Walter Damrosch conducted the New York Symphony (which later merged with the Philharmonic) and pianist Alfred Cortot at Carnegie Hall; Lorin Maazel conducted the work's most recent performance in Seoul, South Korea, with soloist Yeoi-Eum Son in 2008.
Commissioned by the New York Philharmonic, Sean Shepherd approached Songs (2013) as "a piece that essentially starts and ends in the same place." Designed as a sort of palindrome, it is also a journey both inward and outward, a sort of divertissement that links the two Beethoven works to each other. The final product is a single-movement piece in three parts, each representing the places where someone might sing a song - Fair, Chapel, and Cradle - and touches upon forms such as the chanson and rondo as initial points of reference. The Orchestra has previously presented Mr. Shepherd's These Particular Circumstances in 2010 as part of CONTACT!, the new-music series, and Philharmonic musicians performed Aperture in Shift on the New York Philharmonic Ensembles series in 2011.
Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 (1803) was another one of his works that wasn't quite finished in time for its first performance. The composer conducted from the keyboard, while Ignaz von Seyfried turned pages: "I saw almost nothing but empty pages; at the most, on one page or another a few Egyptian hieroglyphs.... He gave me a surreptitious nod whenever he was at the end of one of the invisible passages, and my scarcely concealable anxiety not to miss the decisive moment amused him greatly, and he laughed heartily at the jovial supper afterwards." The concerto was presented during a spring 1803 benefit marathon for the composer himself that also included premieres of the Second Symphony, the oratorio Christ on the Mount of Olives, and a reprise of the Symphony No. 1. The Piano Concerto No. 3 is a masterpiece that reveals a new voice - a personal statement from the heart of its creator and a showcase for his prodigious pianistic abilities, but sadly also one of the last in which he himself would appear as soloist: his increasing deafness would soon make ensemble playing nearly impossible. The Philharmonic first presented the complete Third Concerto in 1865 at the Academy of Music, featuring soloist Richard Hoffman and conductor Carl Bergmann; Alan Gilbert most recently led pianist Da Sol and the Orchestra in Seoul, South Korea, during the ASIA / WINTER 2014 tour.
Tickets for these performances start at $31. Tickets for Open Rehearsals are $20. Pre-Concert Talks are $7; discounts are available for multiple talks, students, and groups (visit nyphil.org/preconcert for more information). Tickets for Insights Series events are free; subscribers, Friends at the Affiliate level and above, and Patrons may request reserved seating by e-mailing email@example.com. Space is limited.

A Little Bit Extra
News & Events
When 8-year-old Maia moves around St. John's Anglican Primary School in Belize City, there is not much space for her wheelchair. More often than not, because of the school's poor flooring, stairways or other obstacles, it's easier for her to get on her hands and knees and crawl.
Maia has spina bifida, a debilitating spinal birth defect that prevents her from walking.
Little can be done to change Maia's health or the conditions at her 300-pupil school in the impoverished nation of Belize. But a caring group of first-graders, led by teacher Amy Hoffman at Unity Charter School in New Jersey, have made life easier for Maia.
Ms. Hoffman is the daughter of BSU's Dr. Jo Hoffman, associate dean of the College of Education and Allied Studies, who learned about Maia's condition from Dr. Lisa Battaglino, the dean of the college.
In January, Ms. Hoffman's class raised $730 in the community to buy a walker, gloves, kneepads and other supplies for Maia, making it easier for her to get around and continue going to school.
"This teacher stepped up to the plate so quickly and raised the money so quickly, I didn't have to pursue it further," says Dr. Battaglino. Dr. Theresa Coogan, BSU associate professor of counselor education, delivered the supplies when she visited the school in April.
Dr. Battaglino, who has traveled to Belize for the past eight years with Dr. David Ostroth, former BSU vice president of student affairs, said she was delighted. "It's going to make attending school possible, and she can now do it with much more dignity and with much less pain as a result of this incredible effort by Amy Hoffman and her students," says Dr. Battaglino.
More than a dozen Bridgewater State students visit Belize yearly, splitting their time between making improvements to facilities and teaching.
"We make efforts all the time to improve everything, and the floor in her [Maia's] room is an important thing that needs improving, but it's probably a low priority, even though it sounds important, compared to some of the things we have to do," Dr. Battaglino says. (Steve Ide, University News)

Dermatologist-Recommended Brightening Products
Good hair is contagious! For the fourth year, ELLE polled the country's 100 best salons to reveal the most coveted celebrity styles from coast to coast—and how to copycat them with ease.
Winner: Nicole Richie
It's no surprise that the prize for best fringe goes to Richie. "The full bang is very late '60s, early '70s, so it's the perfect vintage accessory," says Richie's stylist, Andy Lecompte. To whip her heavy bangs into shape (which he does every three to four weeks), Lecompte razors them to below the brow, keeping the length slightly shorter in the middle "so they stay out of her eyes," and finishes by blending the outer fringe into the sides. "Nicole Richie's look really resonates with our long-haired clients who want a change but won't compromise on length," says Adrienne Rogers, co-owner of Hush Salon in Philadelphia.

West Tyson County Park 131 N. Outer Rd East, Eureka, Missouri 63025 from I-270, take I-44 west for 7 miles to the Lewis Road exit. At the Lewis Road exit, make a right turn (north). The park entrance is on your right immediately after the exit. Start area is the near the entry gate to the park.
The 50K run is two out-and-backs on the popular Chubb trail. The trail itself varies from a gravel service road, to a mostly dirt trail along the Meramec river, to a mile-long series of climbs, to finally a rolling trail that winds through the hills of the Meramec River. There are no stream crossings. If the Meramec River is well above flood stage then the race will be rerouted. There are two railroad crossings and extreme caution must be taken because the trains come through this area at a high rate of speed. Runners may see deer, turkey and other wildlife throughout this trail run.

Surrounding nature. Price of extras were extremely high.
The view and comforts are same as shown in the snaps except honeymoon bed was not decorated as shown.
For the price we paid, this hotel was exceeding our expectation. What I like the most is the fact that you got a really nice spot for snorkling just at the back of your room, you don't need to use boat to go to other atoll/location. The hotel room was a bit small (especially if you're travelling with children). And the TV can really get a new replacement :) Also nothing much to do after it get dark (well, nothing much that can involved kids...)

Pub Crawl: Sherlock's Baker Street Pub & Grill
Updated 7:58 pm, Wednesday, January 2, 2013
SNAPSHOT: This sprawling, multiroom bar positions itself as a British-style pub, complete with lots of dark wood, photos of the queen and soccer pennants. There's lots to do, with a large game room featuring pool, darts and shuffleboard, as well as TVs showing sports, but couples still can find intimate, cozy corners to hide. Smokers can take refuge on the large patio in front.
WHO GOES THERE: A mixed crowd, typically on the younger side.
BEHIND THE BAR: A couple dozen beers on tap, including Guinness and Newcastle Brown Ale, plus a nice selection of bottled beers and cocktails. Try the British beer cocktails made with Guinness. Daily drink specials and happy hour.
SOUNDTRACK: Live music every night.
Entertainment Channel - MOS
MUNCHIES: Besides burgers, the kitchen serves up British classics such as fish and chips and shepherd's pie, but this being San Antonio, you'll also find tacos on the menu. Food is served until 2 a.m.
THE SKINNY: Sherlock's, part of a chain with locations across Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado, is always hopping.

With a simple understanding of the number of risers you need, you may choose a layout that fits your space and determine the scale and balance so critcal to the overall preliminary design phase.
The curved layouts provided by Cooper walk safely with a 10" or 9" run at the walk line and are designed to meet residential building codes in most areas of the country. Our manufacturing system allows us to build each stair to your unique conditions and dimensions with no additional labor or setup. Unlike curved stair manufacturers with fixed bending forms, our processes allow complete dimensional flexibility, making custom sizes affordable. Each layout can be constructed in any width, made opposite hand, treads can be added at either end and can be built with or without supporting walls.
Straight stairs are not just straight, they take on many shapes such as an l-shaped, u-shaped, scissor-shaped, and more. Straight stairs may be just as elaborate as curved; it is a matter of preference. When considered in parts, a straight stair staircase is full of architectural details, each contributing to the visual impact of the whole.

Imagine a beautiful young girl descending a staircase to answer the door for a prom date, a toddler taking those first brave steps up the stair, a couple pauses on the stair for a quick hello before they continue with their busy day... Sure, a stair is a means of getting from the downstairs to the upstairs in a home, but it's also a place to connect, it's a focal point in any room and it's a place where many cherished memories are made.
What is your dream stair? An aesthetic balance of curves from stair to balcony? A straight elegant stair cascading to a large foyer? Do you need a simple straight or safe utility stair? How about a spiral?
Since 1974 Cooper Stairworks has been blending centuries-old methods of stair building with our state of the art design & construction techniques to build you the stair of your dreams. Our various in-house capabilities allow us to offer a complete stair system using either stock components or custom designed to your own personal choices.

Horner Millwork is also a place where you can source: A complete line of Stairparts from Fitts and Cooper, including the new Zipbolt UT Railbolt, Rainbow Attic stairs from Shelter Products and Spiral Stair kits from Gamia and Ravenwood.
A well chosen moulding, column or mantle can breathe new life into what could be a boring room. Well placed millwork can make a low ceiling look higher, a fireplace look more ornate, or add an architectural element to a simple double hung window.
The detail of fine millwork can make your home unique. At Horner Millwork, we have what it takes to give you the design that makes your project stand out â?? from mouldings to columns â?? to fireplace mantles, to wainscot.
Horner Millwork has an extensive library of custom and stock mouldings available to our builders. We have quick set-up machinery and in-house knife grinding which allow short lead times and prices to meet most schedules and budgets. Available in standard or custom sizes and species â?? Interior millwork is our specialty.

Any thoughts on good BBQ places in and around Toronto Ontario? I go there regularly and have yet to find anything decent. The Purple Pig downtown has decent ribs, but other than that, everything seems to be chain restaurants with so-so food.
Anyone have any good experiences they'd like to talk about or share?

Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkit just doesn't look very pleasing to me. Too much "1337 gamz0r pwn4g3".
But that's just me. :-) Reply
ReachTheSky - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkI'd be proud to own that. I'm honestly getting a bit tired of minimalism. There's not a whole lot of flashy "HEY LOOK HOW BADASS I AM!" cases that are also functional. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkLike I said, just my own opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. And "badassness" and "functionality" are also very subjective, I wouldn't give this case high marks in either category, much less so considering the price. :-) Reply
michaelheath - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkAgreed. This case is aimed at the crowd of people who pay through the nose for features that accomodate the other components they paid through the nose for. As a person who lives within his means and requires no more case than what provides room for a modest gaming/entertainment machine, the Cosmos II is pretty overboard in most aspects, and I could put $350 to better use. Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, January 26, 2012 - linkActually, I think this case is made so people like you can get swelled heads about how well you manage your money.
I have a suggestion: give up your gaming/entertainment altogether. After all, it's really nothing you actually require. It's not only a waste of money because you spend it on things you don't need, it's even more a waste of money because it takes up your time, as well, time you could be using to make money instead of spend it.

aguilpa1 - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkAt this price I honestly expected it to have an integrated liquid cooling radiator with dual fans not just holes for one. I like to buy high end stuff but I still expect to get my money's worth. This isn't it. Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - linkYou'd like the Lian Li PC-A71F then. Its a big, black monser of a case that I'm planning to build my next rig in, complete with dual watercooling radiators... Reply
Tetracycloide - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkThe thing is, it's really not that flashy in many respects. They basically took an ostentatious design and painted it matte black. Why they wouldn't go with cleaner lines or a color scheme that better accents the lines it currently has I have no idea. I think it fails on the aesthetic front by trying to split the difference between minimalism and snazzy, never quite reaching either and attempting to appeal to two tastes that are fundamentally opposites. Reply
Tetracycloide - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkNow that I've looked at it a little more and seen some additional close up shots from other review sites I've decided to change my mind. The case is flashy but in tasteful way although the tastefulness is largely left up to the builder. The mesh areas have a unique polygonal design layered into them that's almost fractal. With the matte black brush aluminum finish and the right color backlights (blue was the wrong choice IMO) the case could be very beautiful. Personally I'm thinking amber LEDs myself. Without backlighting many of the aesthetics of the case are lost IMO and it just looks like minimalism in areas that don't make sense because the other areas aren't very interesting without lights so the minimalist areas don't contrast with them enough. If you can imagine those areas backlit with LEDs it's a completely different case. The unlit pictures don't do it justice I think. Reply
tzhu07 - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkRidiculously large (in a very bad way) and ugly. Completely unrefined in every way. Look, I don't expect everyone to have great industrial design and precision like Apple, but this case is just tacky as hell, and you might as well label any owner of it as a person who has bad taste in aesthetic composition on a general level.
Who cares about its features and performance when it looks like that monstrosity. Reply
nevertell - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkWell, I for one, don't care about the look. The PC will sit underneath the table, all I care about is noise and cooling. There is nothing worse than having insomnia due to lengthy file transfer because you skimped on the case a while back :( Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkIn the end though, the case is just the last part in determining the noise of a PC. The component choice (CPU heatsink+fans, graphics card+fans, case fans and fan control) are much more important. :-) Reply
TGressus - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkThis case is part of the Cosmos series from Cooler Master. The design should be no surprise to anyone who follows the industry.
The priorities you express don't align with the intended market of the product. You have wasted electricity by superfluously posting. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkSo if you don't like something you have to shut up because it was obviously not meant for you? Can you be more condescending?.... Reply
Tetracycloide - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkIn his defense that's just returning in kind. The OP was a pretty condescending ass too. Probably more so than TGressus actually. Reply
Tetracycloide - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkI see, so it's an absolutely perfect case for the people who think it's perfect. That makes total sense. Reply
Stewox - Friday, February 03, 2012 - linkpretty much what i had in mind
The Apple guy who thinks this case looks bad is probably not in this category of hardcore enthusiast PCs ...
Cooler Master made a gread job and im very pleased with the effort that went into this, just like Western Digital making those Hard Drives with a window ... it was a marvelous technological achivement , it was made for the enthusiasts who know to appreciate and see the quality, obviously those glass HDDs wouldn't bring WD tons of new customers and brand popularity, and Cooler Master in this case doing in the same way as any great company would. In this case Apple is a crap company, they put out budget shit that is sold for premium and they never make enthusiast products that push the limits of tech, they don't even design anything except the packaging, the looks and color and their software, everything under-the-hood is all customized PC or Mobile parts which are made with over 200 suppliers and assembled at suicide-infested Foxconn in china. What do you think the MAC is ... it's a console with PC hardware, a closed system, it's a disgrace in morality, PCs are supposed to be open - ofcourse people found a way to delete MAC OSX and install other systems ... but then you don't need a MAC anyways, DIY custom PC hardware part-by-part is cheaper , a lot cheaper.
I would go to the grosery store and make a hamburger:
(optimal example)
- cheapest
- modest
- medium
- great
- Best
Me: (optimal financially, not hardcore setup)
- i pick a great ham
- i pick a great chese
- i pick a great salad
- i pick a great ketchup and mayo
- i pick a medium bread
- paper bag package
- i would pay 10$
Apple: ...
- would pick the cheapest chese (GPU)
- would pick the modest ham (CPU)
- would pick the cheapest salad (RAM)
- would pick the cheapest ketchup/mayo (storage space)
- would pick the best and most expensive bread ever (ex Casing)
- would package it in a super glossy shiny flashy silver plate package
- + bonus a FREE ticket to download of your item of choice on iTunez
- attach a price for 15,99 $
Which would you eat, the manual/custom hamburger or Apple hamburger ?
It's really sad to see many newer generation people who are complete ignorants how this works and this should not even be a debate here, the debate should have been about the Case and it's total win. I have always wanted handles for a case and they just fit on this design so nicely, it's not a thrown-up thing it's really part of the design.
And i don't know what wouldn and Apple fanboy be doing here talking shit about PCs. get out and go to your own wonderland. Reply
Stewox - Friday, February 03, 2012 - linkWho cares about an apple fanboy not having idea about PCs.
If you even are a PC enthusiast, and you would not buy the a hardcore case just because how it looks, is probably a very shallow reason and excuse.
Second, Apple looks so shiny and nice to attract noobs and tech-gadged buzz people who aren't technical people at all.
If you aren't in this category of enthusiasts please stop posting useless comments and go away, plenty of people will find this case a must buy, plenty of them also hate apple as they should.
Tech people will always hate Apple, that's because we know the inside of wha Apple does, they sell overpriced shiny packaged shit. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkWith aluminum finish, you seem to just refer to the steel having texture as opposed to just being glossy/smooth, right? If that is the case and since aluminum can have a different texture as well, shouldn't you use different words? :-) Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkI assumed Dustin meant something more like a steel frame for the doors and hinges, with aluminum sheeting for the main side cover. But perhaps he can clarify. :-) Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkAh, so that would mean everything that has a functional purpose is steel while the outside is an aluminum sheet. Not as I assumed just all steel with an aluminum textured surface. :-) I wouldn't mind a clarification. :D Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkChatting with Dustin, it sounds like the above is correct -- except some of the exterior is plastic as well, and the bars around the main body are steel. Actually, I think the main body is steel, the frame/inside of the doors is steel, and only the outside of the side panels is aluminum. Reply
Rick83 - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkI have an original Stacker, and while it has its weaknesses, it's still one of the best cases when it comes to keeping a lot of HDDs installed with decent cooling or hot-plugging.
While 5.25" bays are dying out, so has the Stacker died a few years ago - something that I am a bit sad about, as it's a simple, efficient, large case made from top materials. Also it comes with wheels :D
I think the Cosmos is in some way supposed to be a modern replacement for it, and while its price point is slightly elevated compared to what a stacker sold for back in the day, you do seem to get some very nice features, and decent stock fans.
Clearly, the test program is not suited to really differentiate between high end enclosures, and I'd like to see a multi-card setup, ideally of silent, open circulation cards. Radial fans are so noisy, that the noise performance of the case is directly correlated with the RPM of the GPU-fan.
Additionally, if you want to run that big radiator, the cosmos 2 becomes more of a value proposition, and it keeps the mostly restrained looks of the CM case family (with the exception of many things HAF). The lack of wheels is disturbing, as with a full complement of drives and heat sinks, you could easily hit 40 kg for the entire machine. Lugging that about is quite a chore. And the Stacker faces the same issue as the Cosmos: there's nowhere really to grab a good hold of it, especially as all the weight is where you can't grab it.
Finally, bringing a µATX-comparison isn't really apt. Firstly, SB-E is all about PCIe-lanes, which µATX negates completely. So a Gene-Z is a reasonable proposition, but X79 is what XL-ATX is made for. With X79 you want multiple graphics cards, which is where big cases come in, as usually the need arises to water cool these things, as otherwises the kW of heat coming out of four cards can't be managed - enter the 360mm radiator mounting capability.
This case has a market, and that market clearly does not comprise the reviewer - it would have been interesting to see more aspects that actually interest the targeted users, such as actually mounting that radiator, and whether the case offers rooms for pumps and reservoirs, etc. A 350$ case would never appeal to a mainstream audience. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkWe had the radiator discussion already, but if you want to cool multiple GPUs and a high end 6 core CPU quietly, you need more than this case offers. Offering one 360mm radiator space is not that impressive.
For a quick reference on what cases provide that minimal kind of water cooling functionality see here: http://www.aquatuning.de/download/Gehaeuse-Radiato...
And if you talk about water cooling, the TJ07 can easily fit a 420mm radiator in the lower part of the case, it is really a common sight. :D Also, in this price range, you start bumping against caselabs cases: http://www.caselabs-store.com/cases/ which has all the radiator space you need without modding. Or you just go external solution. :D
But this case will find it's buyers. Reply
Kristie - Thursday, January 26, 2012 - linkThe Cosmos II comes with the brackets needed to take out the 6 HDD bays and install a 240mm radiator in the bottom area. There's people who've installed two 240mm radiators in there too and I don't think that'll take much modding work. The only downside is that for the 360mm radiator space at the top, there isn't enough clearance for a radiator thicker than 5cm. Reply

What he said.
There is a market for this case and it's not for the smaller motherboards.
Good try, Mr. Sklavos, but not everyone want's everything small. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkI recommend "expensive" cases like the Corsairs and Silverstones, but even I have a hard time swallowing $350 for this. I'd recommend a Raven, Fortress, 800D, or 600T over this. All are great in the same ways that the Cosmos II is, but with lower price tags. Reply
ggathagan - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkWhile I certainly agree that it's overpriced, you do have admire the sheer over-size of it.
The cases you list are good cases, but none of them have have more than 8 expansion slots.
I really like my FT02, but consider it a major design flaw that they not only limited it to 7 expansion slots, but placed the 5.25" bays so close to the motherboard that you are severely restricted in your choice of optic drives. Reply
Juddog - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkIt would be awesome to see an extended test of this case to see how it performs with the top setup with a 360mm radiator and a 240mm radiator at the bottom (with the hard drive brackets removed). Reply
Rictorhell - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkI am a big fan of this site and I read the reviews and articles all of the time and I find them very informative and useful, but, I have a request.
When a review is written, particularly about a certain smartphone or tablet, it is mentioned whether the device has an SD card slot and you always tend to differentiate between whether it is a "full-sized" SD slot or a "micro"SD slot. That is useful to know, but there are several actual types of SD cards available, each with a different maximum storage capacity, and you don't specify in your reviews which types of SD cards are actually supported by the device being reviewed and I think that is a bit of an oversight.
To the best of my knowledge, standard SD cards only have a maximum capacity of up to 2gb, while SDHC cards can go up to as high as 32gb, and SDXC cards, while only available right now in sizes up to 128gb, are supposed to theoretically be able to be manufactured in sizes up to 2tb.
There is a huge difference in size between 2gb, 32gb, and 128gb. Given that smartphones and tablets have substantial built in limits as far as storage capacity, I think it would be very helpful to know which type of SD card is supported by which device, if that is possible.
If I read two reviews about two different Android tablets and both reviews mention that both cards have a full-size SD card slot, as a user with a lot of media files, I'm going to be interested to know if one of those tablets can support SDXC cards while the other one cannot.
I consider that to be a major feature, to me, just as important as battery life. If you do reviews of tablets and smartphones, or even ultrabooks, and neglect to specify how much storage potential these devices have or do not have, you are making it very easy for the hardware manufacturers to simply put in second rate storage and format support, knowing that it will not be covered in reviews by sites like Anandech. Not only is this going to stunt the evolution of these devices but it's also going to mean less options for consumers.
Anyway, thank you for your time. Reply

Sladeofdark - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkif the USB front panel was facing up like the Cosmos S it would be PERFECT! But i still cant wait to purchase this case to replace my Cosmos S.

It is like they finally made a case that was not only about making the price point. Reply
sviola - Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - linkAgree with you. I too have the Cosmos S, and I wish it would have some of the improvements here like the drive cage facing the side of the cage (but I prefer the red leds on the S model, a bit of the change from the blue led theme that seems to flood the industry). Reply
Solidstate89 - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkAfter I've had my full of my current build in my Silverstone FT02B case, I'm definitely buying this case and building a behemoth of a system in it. Combined with Windows 8's Storage Spaces, you don't even need a separate Home Server anymore, and that's where all those drive bays will especially come in handy. Reply
Risforrocket - Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - linkIt's for a build with lots of drives, I agree.
I have 4 drives in RAID 10 and am wanting 6 and then the SSD (or two) for the OS. That's 8 drives right there. Lol, I love this case. Reply
Tetracycloide - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkOr a build with a radiator. You loose all of the drive bays in the PSU chamber if you mount a radiator and some pumps down there. I'd argue that's what the chamber was designed for and the bay cages are just tact on so the space still looks useful if you're not water cooling (although it's still wasted space if you don't have all the drive slots filled). Reply
Bonesdad - Monday, January 23, 2012 - linkhave to agree with some other posters here, this case, though top of the line functionally is big, ugly and fugly. Just my opinion, but no way would I ever own this. I don't think I could even be friends with anyone who owns this. Reply

Etern205 - Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - linkThe massive size of this case even makes that ATX board look like a mini.

Stas - Wednesday, January 25, 2012 - linkAs an owner of the original Cosmos, I must say - this is disheartening on CM's part.
CM Cosmos was large, quiet and beautiful; very elegant and easy on the eyes. I admit, it did lack in cooling performance for large video cards (I ran 5 HDDs in it and a volt-moded HD3870). When Cosmos S came out, I thought it was the perfection in its class - all of the great things from the Cosmos + cooling tweaks. Unfortunately, the "S" lost the padded side panels :(
This is very different from what I would want to see in CM's classy flagship. Flashy, unrefined, almost pretentious. Yes, it has performance to back it up, and surely quality, too. But it just doesn't have that sophistication of the former model. Besides, I paid $220 for my case... wtf did extra $130 go? A couple of extra fans? o.O Reply
johnpombrio - Thursday, January 26, 2012 - linkI believe that the reason for a separate LED power connector going to the mobo is to use it to FLASH the LED when the computer is in sleep mode. Don't be so quick to diss something that I find extremely useful. Reply
Captain Zero - Monday, January 30, 2012 - linkThis reviewer is an embarrassment. What did he expect to be reviewing, an ipad? Of course it's big. The Cosmos is the tractor trailer of cases, not a Mini Cooper but he complains that it doesn't perform like a spots car. Moron. The comments here are equally dippy. These cases are large and exceedingly well-built and worth every penny. No self-respecting builder would put top-tier components in a cardboard box or complain about price. If you want a solid, robust case that's outrageously versatile with room to grow, you can't best the Cosmos line of cases.
And for you pussies that think it's heavy, go ask your mom for help. Reply

Join us tonight for a lecture by New York-based artists Anthony Aziz and Sammy Cucher about their new body of work for the exhibition Some People. For Some People, the artists have filled the IMA's McCormack Forefront Galleries with four expansive video installations that, together, confront the artists' complex feelings in relation to conflict in the Middle East. Aziz + Cucher have distilled years of research and travel into these videos, which take recent and current conflicts out of a specific place and time to speak about the seemingly never-ending cycle of senseless destruction.
Here's a sneak peek into the galleries, where Aziz + Cucher have been fine-tuning their work:

Khenglish - Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - linkThe whole point of an FPS number is to rate how smooth something is. If a game is smoother but the FPS number is lower, then FPS is wrong.
Personally I would love to see the next 3dmark rate performance based on the highest latency frame each second. Would really make graphics drivers focus on real performance, which is how smooth something is, instead of some arbitrary and often misleading fps number.
It's ridiculous that it took AMD this long to think of game smoothness instead of blindly focusing on FPS. Reply
Alexvrb - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkHe said average frames were lower. If average framerate is down, but minimum framerate is up, it could very well have less stuttering and thus be smoother. Not sure why you think FPS is "wrong". The issue isn't high frame latency all the time, but rather spikes. They're trying to minimize the occurence. Note that Nvidia is not completely immune to this sort of issue from time to time, as well. Reply
Death666Angel - Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - linkRead the techreport article, AMD stated that they operated under a false impression ("Up until this point we had mostly assumed that there were occasional flickers in frame rate, but we had thought these were related to the fact that modern games mostly have streaming architectures and limitations of scheduling in the OS."). They didn't pursue "smoothness" because they thought there was nothing they could do about it. Reply
blackoctagon - Thursday, January 31, 2013 - linkThe point is that FPS is not the ONLY possible indicator of smoothness. Having many frames per second can contribute to increased smoothness, but if the time between the frames is uneven then this can decrease the smoothness. A good example is microstutter (which I experience with my 2 7970s). There are some games for which I can get 170+FPS, but it 'feels' less smooth than does 70FPS on a single card.
Also, as Death666Angel already suggested, read the TechReport article Reply
