Car Review
2013 Nissan Sentra: New Car Review
Pros: Spacious interior; strong fuel economy; agreeable ride; attractively priced.
Cons: Not a speed demon; cheaper models sparsely equipped.
What's New: The Sentra is completely redesigned for 2013.
The 2013 Nissan Sentra has the look of car that's tired of playing second fiddle. For decades now, the Sentra has toiled in relative obscurity, as the Civic and Corolla have dominated sales. It's not that the Sentra was a bad car, but it just didn't have enough going for it to make loyal Honda and Toyota buyers think twice.
That's what the all-new 2013 Sentra wants to change.
Unlike the current Civic and Corolla, which are very similar to their predecessors, the new Sentra charts a decidedly different course. It's quieter than the car it replaces and bigger, too, especially in back. Crucially, it's also much more fuel efficient, yielding an estimated 30 mpg city/39 highway (40 mpg highway with the FE+ package) versus last year's subpar 27/34 mpg. And prices have actually dropped, making the Sentra something of a bargain.
One potential drawback is that the Sentra's mandatory 1.8-liter engine is less powerful than the old model's 2.0-liter engine. We're okay with that, though, because the new car has lost over 150 lb, largely balancing out the missing horses. For a no-nonsense economy car, the acceleration seems just about right.
Nissan's newest compact might not be a superstar, but we think it's the company's most well-rounded small sedan in years. With the Civic and Corolla standing pat these days, the 2013 Sentra looks poised to move on up.
Comfort & Utility
The Sentra sedan is offered in S, SV, SR and SL trims. An FE+ package that mildly enhances fuel economy is available on S and SV.
The base S sedan starts with 16-inch steel wheels with plastic covers; LED headlight and taillight accents; power accessories; air conditioning; a tilt-telescopic steering wheel; a height-adjustable driver's seat; full power accessories; and a 4-speaker audio system with an auxiliary audio jack.
The SV steps up to cruise control, a 6-speaker audio system (still lacking USB/Bluetooth), illuminated steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, a security system and upgraded cloth trim.
The edgier SR features 17-in alloy wheels; more aggressive front and rear fascias; side-sill extensions; a rear spoiler; fog lights; a chrome exhaust tip; special silver interior trim; and unique sport cloth upholstery.
The range-topping SL is treated to different 17-in alloys; automatic headlights; heated exterior mirrors with integrated LED turn signals; keyless entry with push-button start; leather steering-wheel and shift-knob trim; wood-tone interior accents; dual-zone automatic climate control; a 4.3-in audio display with SiriusXM satellite radio (subscription sold separately); and USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
Depending on trim level, options include some of the SL's standard features, plus a touchscreen navigation system, heated front seats, rear disc brakes (see Safety, below), a sunroof and a rear collision warning system.
In our interior evaluation, we found the new Sentra a pleasant upgrade from the outgoing model. The front seats are quite supportive on long trips, especially with leather upholstery. Thanks to the standard tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel and driver-seat height adjustment, the Sentra can accommodate a wide range of shapes and sizes. Fine Vision electroluminescent gauges add a premium vibe, providing always-on backlit clarity.
After poking and prodding the dashboard and touch panels, we deemed the material quality satisfactory. Ergonomics are good, too, as the Sentra manages to avoid the common curse of too many buttons, instead offering an attractively straightforward control panel. Overall, the Sentra feels a little more special inside than expected, and that's the kind of thing that could tip the scales in this car's favor.
As with the cheaper Versa, the Sentra's rear quarters are exceptionally hospitable by segment standards, providing near-midsize passenger accommodations. The trunk is in the mid-size ballpark as well, measuring an impressive 15.1 cu-ft.
Don't look to the entry-level Sentra S for technological leadership, as the best it can do is a 4-speaker stereo with an auxiliary audio input. In fact, USB and Bluetooth connectivity are only standard on the top-of-the-line SL; they'll run you extra on the SV and SR. That's a bit disappointing for an all-new model in 2013.
We're also lukewarm on the optional navigation system. Although it has some nifty NissanConnect features, such as Google point-of-interest integration and automatic read-aloud for text messages, the system's graphics and speed are underwhelming. Also, its 5.8-in display seems a bit small. More satisfying is the decent 8-speaker Bose stereo, which is offered from the SV on up and can be paired with Pandora Internet radio.
Performance & Fuel Economy
Every Sentra is powered by a 1.8-liter inline-4 that makes 130 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. That's about what the Corolla gets out of its 1.8-liter four, but almost every other engine in this class has more juice. Still, the Sentra barely weighs 2,800 lb, so it generally keeps up with traffic well enough.
In most Sentras, the little 1.8 will be overseen by a gearless, continuously variable automatic (CVT). While the base Sentra S offers a 6-speed manual transmission, the rest of the lineup comes only with the CVT. Nissan's been building CVTs for a while now, and this one is a good match for the humble motor, delivering nearly seamless acceleration.
Fuel economy estimates for mainstream models with the CVT are very good at 30 mpg city/39 mpg highway. The CVT-only FE+ package creeps up to 40 mpg highway, while the 6-speed manual drops to a more pedestrian 27/36 mpg.
The 2013 Nissan Sentra comes with anti-lock brakes that use front discs and rear drums. Cheaper and simpler than disc brakes, rear drum brakes are a common feature on entry-level economy cars, but you want discs if you can help it. To this end, note that the Sentra S and SV models come only with rear drums, while the SR and SL have standard rear drums but can be equipped with discs all around if you pay extra.
Every Sentra is outfitted with six airbags (front, front-side, and full-length side curtain).
The 2013 Sentra had not been crash tested as of this writing.
Driving Impressions
Unlike some rivals, the Sentra doesn't aspire to be sporty or aggressive on the road. Even the smartly dressed SR is really the same agreeable Sentra underneath. This Nissan just provides comfortable basic transportation, highlighted by a relatively quiet, compliant ride. Handling is adequately composed in emergency maneuvers, but the Sentra is all about setting it and forgetting it. If you're simply looking for an affordable sedan that'll get you through the daily commute with minimal fuss, the 2013 Sentra hits most of the right notes.
Other Cars to Consider
Chevrolet Cruze - The Cruze has an older feel inside than the Sentra, but its handling is sharper, and the turbocharged motor pairs nicely with the manual shifter in the Cruze Eco.
Dodge Dart - With a chassis by Alfa Romeo, an available turbocharged engine borrowed from the FIAT 500 Abarth and an interior by Chrysler, the new Dart is an intriguing intercontinental mix.
Hyundai Elantra - A direct rival to the Sentra in terms of both power and fuel economy, the Elantra offers distinctive style and a more generous feature set.
AutoTrader Recommends
As Nissan rightly points out in its marketing materials, the Sentra is a good deal, with even the SL starting at a hair under $20,000. We'd make ours an SL with the Leather Package, which is the only way to get rear disc brakes on the SL, and we'd still be out the door for an MSRP of less than $21,000. That's refreshing.

Alan Partridge (US - BD RA)
Jonathan gives a quick review of the US release of the Alpha Papa movie...
Steve Coogan reprises his most popular role as the iconic Alan Partridge, the famous local radio DJ and one time talk show host. Alan finds himself at the center of a siege when a disgruntled fellow DJ (Colm Meaney) decides to hold their station hostage after learning that he's getting fired by the new management. (From the Magnolia synopsis)
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa (or if we're going with the reduced US title, Alan Partridge) is the movie version of one of Steve Coogan's most popular characters in the UK, and I must confess I haven't seen any of the original series before watching this movie. But now I'm a fan and I will be looking to correct that mistake very soon. Coogan's performances in a lot of the films that make it to the states have never really tickled me, but I was impressed with his more serious performances. After watching The Trip I decided I needed to see more of his comedy offerings. Alan Partrdige feels like the character Coogan was born to play. The radio host position makes perfect use of his incredible voice. I could listen to him say stupid stuff for hours.
This movie probably could've got by on Coogan's comedic chops alone, but there's actually some very witty writing at play here and a few memorable visual gags. The supporting cast is mostly just there for Coogan to bounce lines off of, but Colm Meany gets to play an unusually goofy disgruntled employee. The comedy loses momentum at times when things grow just a tad serious, or when the story becomes about Alan Partridge using the hostage diversion to inflate his own ego. Fortunately these segments aren't too stretched at out, and at a lean 90 minutes the film manages to end before it overstays its welcome.
The 1080p transfer on this disc from Magnolia is perfectly serviceable for this comedy release. Only taking up approximately 15GB on a BD25, there was certainly room on the disc for a stronger bitrate. It shows a little in the image quality, with small but noticeable instances of pixelation and blocking throughout. These problem areas are mostly relegated to the background or dark areas of the picture so they aren't a particularly bad distraction, but they could've been avoided. The movie goes for that orange and teal look that a lot of modern thrillers use, but its not nearly as excessive as most examples. It was filmed on the Red Epic digital camera so detail is quite strong. Given that this is first and foremost a comedy, this transfer is perfectly capable and shouldn't cause any fuss.
Alan Partridge has a great soundtrack. It opens with a funny use of "Koyaanisqatsi", and moments later there's an enjoyable opening credits sequence to "Cuddly Toy". These songs all sound great on this DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, and they are the main draw of the audio mix for me. The rest of the track isn't particularly inspired but much like the video transfer on this disc it serves the material just fine. Voices are the important thing here, and they are clear and easy to make out. The soundtrack appropriately lowers in volume to allow dialogue to float above it. There's some outdoor activity that uses the rear channels well for extra background noise, but most of the activity stays to the front channel. There's a scene where a lunch box is disposed of with lethal force, and it is appropriately loud and noisy.
Extras kick off with The Making of Alan Partridge (HD, 12:05), which plays like an advertisement for the movie and not like insight for those who have already seen it. Some interview footage with the actors is mixed in with clips from the movie. It's mostly centered around describing the characters and story, and the actors all do so rather seriously without much lightness. The actors also talk about working with Steve Coogan, who it sounds like was running the show for the most part. Next up is Behind the Scenes (HD, 01:42) which is just a bit of fluff. No talking or interviews here, just a quick montage of some stuff happening on set. Last of all is AXS TV: A Look at Alan Partridge (HD, 02:56), which plays like an abbreviated, more television friendly version of the earlier "making of" featurette, and features some of the same interview footage. It is more EPK fluff.
If you're a fan of Steve Coogan there is no reason not to check out the Alan Partridge movie. Watching it has encouraged me to go back and visit the original series and some other work Coogan has done, like Saxondale. This Blu-ray release from Magnolia looks and sounds just fine, but those hoping for good extras will find nothing but fluff.
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

Published at Thursday, 11 January 2018 by Bettye Clay in Drawers Design, with total 35 images.
You can tell a lot about the personality & character of the owners of a house by the furniture pieces they choose. When it comes to living room accents, for example, there are pieces that radiate glamour that speak volumes about the taste and interests of the occupants of the house. Take for instance a chest of drawers with convex bow front design and stylized tassel-motif hardware with tapered legs. The person who purchased such a living room accent can surely appreciate beauty and style. On the other hand, individuals who are passionate about art and have eclectic tastes may opt for a maple highboy reminiscent of the Chippendale era or a Greek revival style of chest. A bow front chest of drawers in lustrous mahogany that captures the grandeur of the 18th century master craftsmen is a perfect option for a woman with an eye for superb detailing. Itll also add a look of timeless elegance to a contemporary living room. With a low rectangular coffee table and pediment mirror of similar material in the same room, the look can be fabulous.
A modern day Chest of Drawers will quite likely be made of something like Chipboard or MDF. Chipboard or particle board (called by different names in different countries), is made up of tiny chips of wood all glued together and pressed by machine into flat boards, usually 12mm or 18mm thick. These wood chips come from unused or unusable sized pieces of wood at the timber mill and also from recycling old wooden furniture. These boards can be veneered and are used in flat pack furniture, where the purchaser buys the furniture and has to assemble it by their self. Even buying ready made furniture from a store, there is a possibility that it has been delivered to the shop as flatpack and has been assembled by the staff.
Beyond space savings, a chest of drawers also provides wonderful internal storage options in and of themselves. Overall, these types of storage units come with generous space in which you can stow away a variety of different items, including garments and other clothing pieces of all types and of many different sizes.

Vail joins list of open ski areas during weekend; Steamboat is next
November 19, 2012
Steamboat Springs — As the Steamboat and Aspen ski areas prepare to open their seasons Wednesday, skiers at Vail already were carving a couple of fresh inches of snow during the weekend after the ski area opened and dedicated its new Gondola One on Friday.
The Vail Daily reported a fresh inch of snow had fallen between 5 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. Sunday on the Born Free Trail, the only trail open at Vail. Although the new gondola was dedicated, skiers were limited to Chair 8 during the weekend.
Across the Central Rockies in the past 48 hours, Colorado Ski Country USA was reporting an inch of new snow at A-Basin, Loveland and Winter Park. All three of those ski areas reported an 18-inch base at mid-mountain.
Steamboat officials were expected to announce opening day terrain Monday or Tuesday. The absence of advantageous snowmaking conditions during the mild weekend that just passed strongly suggests Steamboat would open the Christie Peak Express serving trails like Sitz and Vogue for Scholarship Day to benefit the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club's competitive skiing and snowboard programs.

LONDON (MarketWatch)—U.K. stocks slumped Friday after disappointing growth data from China spooked investors out of equities, while a surprise decline in U.S. consumer sentiment added further pressure.
The FTSE 100 index (UKX) dropped 1% to 5,651.79, snapping a two-day winning streak. On the week, the index closed 1.3% lower.
Banks added pressure to the index and tracked a broad decline in European financials on the back of a surge in bank borrowing in Spain. Spanish banks' gross borrowing from the European Central Bank nearly doubled in March compared with the prior month. Spain stocks off, yields up on bank borrowing jump
Shares of Barclays PLC (BARC) BCS, -1.64% fell 3.8%, Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LLOY) LYG, -1.63% gave up 3.6% and Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC (RBS) RBS, -0.46% shed 3.5%.
In afternoon trading, stocks got an extra push lower after a preliminary reading for U.S. consumer sentiment in April declined to 75.7 from a final March level of 76.2, according to a gauge released by the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters. Analysts had expected a reading of 76.4.
U.K. stocks also keyed off signs of slowing growth in China. Gross domestic product for the first quarter in the world's No. 2 economy cooled to 8.1% expansion, slipping below analysts expectations of 8.3%. The previous quarter, the economy grew 8.9%. China growth slowest since global crisis
"But the March data were on balance better than expected and suggested that the Chinese economy stabilized," analysts at Danske Bank said in a note. "In our view the current data in China do not call for a major adjustment in fiscal policy. The reserve requirement is expected to be cut at least twice and this should support further acceleration in credit."
Most miners closed with losses, following metals prices lower. Rio Tinto PLC (RIO) RIO, -2.39% lost 1.2%, Fresnillo PLC (FRES) gave up 2.3%, while Vedanta Resources PLC (VED) shed 2.2%.
Some energy-sector shares moved into negative territory as crude-oil futures softened. Tullow Oil PLC (TLW) declined 2.2% by the close and BG Group PLC (BG.) moved 1.5% lower.
And Sage Group PLC (SGE) shed 2.6% after Jefferies Group downgraded the software company to hold from buy.

Sookie creates a good light show. centuries, they told Sookie that due to her half-Fae heritage, her magic is finite. That when her powers are depleted she'll become normal, what's unknown (and surely plot twist-y) is whether she will die. With Jason taking care of her Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4, bringing her breakfast at lunch (in bed!), Jason doesn't want sookie to take on the responsibility of causing their parents death (that's to her bloody-band-aid in the backseat of her parents car on that rainy night). Jason then visits Jessica, revealing to her about his parents, they kiss and Jason tastes something different on Jessica's lips. As subtle as can be onDoctor Who, Jason tastes "someone else" and gets really bad forcing Jessica to bite him and for him to then shoot her in the head. Healing quickly, Jessica tosses Jason out of the mansion and see's lights in the sky. These lights are indeed Sookie depleting herself of her fae powers, coming to the realization that she's been plagued with the thoughts of
A vamp-stripping
Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4
Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 Salome invites them to a "ceremony of sorts", where Russell repents his words against Lilith and Nora (painfully) explains that Lilith's blood is actually in that chalice, contrary to Roman's belief it was simply symbolic, Salome wants them to drink from the blood of Lilith in making her rise. Dieter Braun declares all this blasphemous and gets his head ripped off by Russell. (Bless him and his macabre way of kicking a piece of him into the pool, totally bat-shit crazy and fun to watch.) Unfortunately for Eric's misplaced assumption that the blood of a vampire has no effects, they're all super-elatedly high on Lilith's blood prancing down
Andy has his Sheriff duties questioned post-gun shop kill thanks to Sam's super-smelling senses, who continues to sniff around finding the Obama masks. Questioning whether he's fit for the job, Andy visits retired Sheriff Dearborne who's uninterested since he's Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 entertaining a bath with a lady friend while the wife is out.
With Sam worried about Luna in the hospital, he shares an exchange with Sookie who wonders if he could exchange who he is if he had the chance (looking for an answer to her problems). Sam worries that hate will consume him and as he's later about to leave, he finds one of the hunters in a nurse's uniform at the hospital. Guess we should expect the others soon?
Which brings us to Hoyt. Saved by the hunters, turning out to be old school friends, Hoyt joins them feeling more acceptance in this "hate group" that anywhere else. They justify their rhetoric thanks to the media's purposeful PR campaign that it's cooler to be a vampire than a human. Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 They find out that Junior is dead, the guy from the gun shop, and so Hoyt tags along.
Arlene's sobbing over her wedding video, with everyone's life/relationship/prospects have changed including hers, having come a long way by letting a vampire (Jessica) at her wedding. Explaining the whole issue with Terry and the smoke monster to Holly, she's "not necessarily" worried. She' knows something more. Meanwhile Terry and Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 Patrick are waiting for the Ifrit (the smoke monster) to arrive and when it does, it taunts them by laughing in their face. Terry not wanting to be fucked with, nearly pulls the gun on himself before Patrick can convince him otherwise with the innocence of his love for Arlene's kids.
Alcide has a new wolf girl he's training/trying to sleep with, won't take V to level the playing, but not before Martha could interrupt them. Letting her in on the fact that JD, as with Marcus, is on V. Proving her wrong, Martha walks in on JD trying to rally up his pack to side with the Vampires by drinking their blood as a sign of trust and nearly getting Emma to do the same. JD has vamp friend who let him in that the end of days is Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 coming. A war between vampires and humans is imminent.Did you hear that? That was the sound of the largest eye roll in the history of eye rolls. And it was directed at the latest episode of "Doctor Who," more specifically that ending, but let's start with the beginning.
Following last week's cliffhanger, Russell Edgington is caught by security courtesy of a silver net. I'm assuming he is then imprisoned within the Authority headquarters, but when Bill and Eric are summoned by Salome, we are then presented with a free Nora and a free Russell. They go on about Lilith and their plan and how Salome was the one who Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 dug up Russell in the first place. Turns out that she followed them when they originally buried him, and she needed Russell to take down the Guardian. And that he did.
Later, the remaining members of the Authority, along with Steve Newlin and burnt face guy, gather 'round the vial of Lilith's blood, and Salome proclaims that they will all take part in drinking it. Dieter Braun labels this act as blasphemous. Russell, in turn, decapitates him with a single swipe of the hand ("May Lilith forgive me," he says Doctor Who Season 7 Episode 4 smugly). I love Russell's merciless killings. Is that weird? Anyway, they all partake in the blood drinking and it gives them this euphoric high that would be like if a human was on V. I liked the looseness of the characters at this point, but then they had to go and suck a whole birthday (?) party dry. And then, out of left field entirely, a naked Lilith takes form on stage and breathes this red mist into Nora's face. I would have thought the emergence of Lilith would be something great, but it really just put a puzzled look on my face

By Elizabeth Landau, CNN
About 1,000 people have been injured in Russia as the result of a meteor exploding in the air. The energy of the detonation appears to be equivalent to about 300 kilotons of TNT, said Margaret Campbell-Brown of the department of physics and astronomy at the University of Western Ontario.
Meanwhile, an asteroid approached Earth but did not hit it Friday, coming closest at about 2:25 p.m. ET.
You probably have some questions about both of those events, so here's a brief overview:
1. Are these events connected?
The meteor in Russia and the asteroid that passed by on Friday afternoon are "completely unrelated," according to NASA. The trajectory of the meteor differs substantially from that of asteroid 2012 DA14, NASA said.
Estimates on the meteor's size are preliminary, but it appeared to be about one-third the size of 2012 DA14.
The term "asteroid" can also be used to describe the rock that exploded over Russia, according to the European Space Agency and NASA, although it was a relatively small one.
2. What's the difference between an asteroid and a meteorite and other space rocks?
According to NASA, here's how you tell what kind of object is falling from the sky:
Asteroids are relatively small, inactive rocky bodies that orbit the sun.
Comets are also relatively small and have ice on them that can vaporize in sunlight. This process forms an atmosphere and dust and gas; you might also see a "tail' of dust or gas.
Meteoroids are small particles from comets or asteroids, orbiting the sun.
Meteors are meteoroids that enter the Earth's atmosphere and vaporize, also known as shooting stars.
Meteorites are meteoroids that actually land on the Earth's surface. The pieces of the meteor that exploded in Russia are meteorites.
Generally meteorites are smaller than grains of sand and vaporize on passage through the atmosphere. But there are also larger meteorites.
Comets and asteroids are left over from when the solar system formed. There used to be more of them, but over time they've collided to form major planets, or they've got booted from the inner solar system to the Oort cloud or have been ejected from the solar system entirely.
3. Why didn't we see the Russian meteor coming?
Only one space rock that impacted the planet has ever been observed before it hit the Earth, Campbell-Brown said.
That's because objects that do hit the Earth tend to be smaller, and it's too hard to see them. The one sighting before impact happened in 2008, a day before a meteor exploded over Sudan.
Current estimates suggest that the Russian meteor was about 15 meters (49 feet) across, which is too small for telescopic surveys.
"Unfortunately the objects of this size have to be very close to Earth for us to be able to see them at all," Campbell-Brown said.
The asteroid that approached Earth Friday, which NASA has been tracking, is about 45 meters long, which is relatively small for an asteroid.
4. How does this compare to other Earth impacts?
The Earth picks up tons of meteoric debris every day, but big pieces are fairly uncommon, said David Dundee, astronomer at Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, Georgia.
An object the size of the Russian meteor comes in about once every 50 years, but none has been recorded since 1908, when an asteroid exploded and leveled trees over an area of 820 square miles - about two-thirds the size of Rhode Island - in Tunguska, Russia.
"This is the largest event that we know of that's happened since Tunguska," Campbell-Brown said.
The Tunguska event did not leave a crater. If there are craters as a result of Friday's meteor, they would be very small, resulting from the debris from the midair explosion.
"It's unfortunate that this occurred over a populated area," Campbell-Brown said. Over a desert or ocean, it would have done very little damage.
This is much smaller than the event thought to have wiped out the dinosaur population, she said.
The meteor was moving through space at about 33,000 miles per hour. When it suddenly decelerated above Russia, the energy was converted into heat and sound, which resulted in a shock wave of energy and a sonic boom, Dundee said.
About three years ago, a woman in Cartersville, Georgia, discovered a baseball-sized meteorite in her home, which had flown straight through the roof. It is now at the Tellus Museum, Dundee said.
5. Why shouldn't you touch a meteorite?
As a meteor comes through the atmosphere, it gets very hot, but this thin hot layer quickly cools off. When you find it on the ground, a meteorite is generally acclimated to ambient temperature.
"We advise people not to touch things with their hands because we like to look for trace elements in the meteorites, and if you touch it in your hand, you've contaminated it," Campbell-Brown said.
Meteorites are probably not more radioactive than Earth rocks, and the minerals inside aren't toxic, she said. The biggest reason to not touch them is to preserve the scientific status.

Guthrie's strong performance lifts Royals over White Sox
Chicago, IL – Jeremy Guthrie tossed six strong innings and received just enough support from Kansas City's struggling offense in a 3-1 decision over the Chicago White Sox that gave the Royals their first win of the season.
After mustering just two runs, 12 hits and stranding 14 runners in dropping the first two tests of this season-opening series, the Royals struck three times in the top of the fifth to provide Guthrie and the bullpen a lead they didn't relinquish.
Kansas City managed just five hits in this one, but received an RBI single from Chris Getz and a run-scoring double by Alex Gordon in the fifth. Gordon finished 2-for-4 on the day.
Guthrie (1-0) yielded only one run on five hits while striking out nine Chicago hitters before giving way to Aaron Crow, Kelvin Herrera and Greg Holland, with the trio combining for a scoreless inning apiece to close out the victory.
"He did a good job," White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers said of Guthrie. "He didn't make any mistakes."
Chicago received a 4-for-4 game from Gordon Beckham, but went 1-for-6 with men in scoring position and left nine runners on base.
Gavin Floyd (0-1) pitched well for the White Sox in defeat, holding the Royals to four hits and fanning five despite being reached for all three runs in a six-inning stint.
Floyd was terrific the first time through the Kansas City order, yielding only one hit -- a Salvador Perez double in the second -- through the first four innings.
The Royals finally broke out in the fifth, however.
Eric Hosmer drew a one-out walk and raced to third on an opposite-field single from Jeff Francoeur before crossing the plate with the game's first run on Jarrod Dyson's high chopper to second. Getz then knocked in Francoeur with a base hit to center for a 2-0 lead, and took second when Chicago's Alejandro De Aza bobbled the ball on the play.
Gordon followed by ripping a double into the right-field corner to easily score Getz.
"I didn't feel any different. I was attacking like I normally do," said Floyd of the inning. "They made a couple of timely hits and got a ground ball that was a high chop. That's the way things go."
Chicago, meanwhile, was held to just a pair of singles and a walk by Guthrie over the first four frames, though it would get a run back in the fifth. After the Kansas City right-hander hit Flowers with a pitch with two out, Beckham and De Aza stroked back-to-back singles to bring the White Sox within 3-1.
The White Sox later threatened to close the gap further when facing Crow in the seventh, with consecutive base hits from Flowers and Beckham putting two on with one out. De Aza flied out, however, before Jeff Keppinger grounded back to the box to end the inning.
Chicago had the tying run at first in the ninth after Holland walked Flowers and served up Beckham's fourth single of the contest, but De Aza followed with a slow tapper to first that resulted in the final out.
Game Notes
Since joining the Royals in a trade with Colorado midway through last season, Guthrie has gone 2-0 with an 0.50 earned run average in five starts against the White Sox ... Kansas City went 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position after having just two hits in 13 at-bats in such situations over the first two games ... Prior to De Aza's RBI single, all six of Chicago's runs this season had come as a result of five homers the team hit over the first two outings.

Editor's Desktop: Getting to Know Us
The results of two recent surveys concerning ASIS&T are the focus of this issue. First Trudi Bellardo Hahn and Liwen Vaughn report on last-year's e-mail survey of the membership. In addition to covering the current data, they utilize prior surveys of the Society to highlight changes, both those that are particular to ASIS&T and those that seem to be part of general trends experienced by most scientific associations.
In the second report Donald Case and Suzie Allard review the results of their research regarding JASIS&T, the Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology. They sought to answer questions raised by the JASIS&T Editorial Board, which consists of ASIS&T members, and by Wiley, the Journal's publisher. Allard and Case used multiple approaches to uncover information about the readers, non-readers and contributors to JASIS&T and their views of the Journal and the Society. Sam Hastings, current ASIS&T President, also provides an update on the ASIS&T Board of Directors meeting held in association with the IA Summit in Austin on February 27, 2004.
We continue to review international efforts to use information and communication technology (ICT) in development. Sônia Elisa Caregnato and Ana Maria Mielniczuk de Moura of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Porto Allegre, Brazil, provide a view of the "telecentre" movement that is part of the social inclusion effort in Brazil and a discussion of the five telecentres established in impoverished neighborhoods of Porto Allegre. The Faculty of the School of Library and Communication at the university are responsible for training the community-based monitors for these centers, who are in turn responsible for training and assisting their users. This paper was ranked highly in the SIG/III International Paper Competition from 2002, and the authors have updated it for publication in the Bulletin.
Finally, Victoria McCargar, senior editor for library projects at the Los Angeles Times, considers the state-of-the-art for automatic text summarization, especially automatic extraction of text, and the challenges of that activity.

Although I am a New Yorker, proximity has turned me into a
die hard Montreal Impact fan. Faithful fan and border on
optimism to a fault. With that said I can't help but question the
magical run in the CONCACAF champions league. It was
magical and gave me something to cheer for. Bottom line is
that Montreal was literally the doormat of the league inheriting
the mediocrity Chivas left behind. I just can't get excited about
this competition.
If it was not Montreal I don't think I would have watched a
second. Am I wrong in thinking this way? I just have no
respect for this competition. Am I missing the boat or do
people agree?

MLS values the competition highly. It gives the
league more visibility and respect to beat the
Mexican teams in particular. America is a world
class team with a very high payroll. If MtL could
have beaten America they would have gotten to go up
against the best club teams in the world, like
Barcelona or Bayern Munich. It's a big deal. I like
the way MLS changed the schedule around so they
could focus on the competition. It's an advantage
for MLS teams.

Hood's Frederick, Maryland campus reflects the all-American charm and beauty of the community where it is located. At the same time, the Graduate School's academic connections run deep along the science and technology corridor that leads to the nearby Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metropolitan regions.
One of the largest cities in the state, Frederick is steeped in history yet firmly rooted in the 21st century. Restaurants, shops, art galleries and museums abound in the cosmopolitan downtown. Suburban neighborhoods, the countryside and smaller towns outside the city offer comfortable living and recreational opportunities.
A low crime rate and state-of-the-art health care system make the area a safe, healthy place to live. The public school system ranks at the top in a state that ranks number one in the nation. Forbes.com ranks Frederick among the smartest cities in the U.S. It has been designated one of the "Prettiest Painted Towns in America" and number eight in the country's top 25 small town arts destinations.
Big-city amenities are within easy reach of the campus. The home of the nation's government, embassies, museums, sports and culture is an hour's drive by car or via convenient metro rail. Three international airports within 50 miles offer direct access to home and family. The port city of Baltimore and Maryland's capital city, Annapolis, are equally close.
Thanks to its wide-ranging geography—mountains, rivers, seashore, farms, cityscapes—Maryland has earned the designation "America in Miniature." It is little wonder that Hood graduate students find much to see and experience in their leisure time.

Brilliant and pretty, too! I can't wait to try this for a beach picnic...and now I'm imagining a layered marinated shrimp salad with capers and tomatoes and your curly parsley. Thanks so much for this great idea.ReplyDelete

This is a lovely recipe. I will definitely try it out. Ideal picnic recipe. One thing that I noticed though is that the pickled plum recipe is not Nigella's. It's taken from her website but it looks as though it's from a reader. (Not mine!!) But if you tried it out then I'm sure it's great. So no qualms there! Love your site! xxReplyDelete
I think Nigella has done a pickled plum recipe in one of her books. She loves a pickle just as I do!ReplyDelete
I would love to hear what you think of this post! I try to reply to every comment (if there is a delay, I am probably away from an internet connection or abroad)

This is good to know information. My concern is that almost the same ban has been inplace for a decade in CA, and it hasn't been struck down or deemed unconstituional by SCOTUS. I don't think States or the federal government can restrict the Bill of Rights, which are univeral individual rights. However, this hasn't been the practice of the past, with things like the CA AWB in place and seemingly unchallenged. I think this damages the NRA & NYSRPA legal case in NY.

If you thought toddlers were the only ones who had tantrums, you obviously haven't seen this sassy cockatoo in action. In the viral YouTube video, watched more than 2.5 million times, Bella the white cockatoo hashes it out with the videomaker's mother, who tells her, "I don't wanna hear it!"
In the hilarious clip, Bella starts squawking and shaking her head — her big, beautiful head feathers proudly standing straight up. The bird is obviously talking back to the woman, although what this feisty little lady has to say isn't all that clear.
At one point, it sounds like she is mimicking the woman, saying, "I don't wanna hear it," but she goes on to say something that sounds like, "Nah nah nah nah" as the woman tells her, "You think you're always right!"
How the pair got into their little tiff isn't revealed, but the hilarity that ensues isn't all that different from what you might hear in a house with toddlers — or teenagers for the matter.

Bella is a bad girl, but she is funny! Be sure to share this cute clip with your friends on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Many folks happy to leave 2012 in the past
This past year wasn't a great one for Eliran Ifrach.
The 24-year-old Fairfield resident, like many people in his town, was hit hard when Superstorm Sandy roared through the state in late October. His car sustained so much damage that he had to get rid of it.
Penfield Pavilion in Fairfield, where Ifrach and his fiancee hope to get married in 2014, was also affected by the storm. The pavilion is expected to remain closed through this summer.
"There were a lot of ups and downs for me this year," said Ifrach, who works part-time at Starbucks in the Fairfield University Bookstore.
Ifrach isn't alone. Many in the state look forward to seeing 2012 disappear into their rearview mirror, and it's no wonder why.
The year brought a potent storm that caused major damage in Connecticut, particularly along the coastline, and cost several residents their lives.
More recently, 2012 saw the second-worst school shooting in U.S. history at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown. The massacre left 20 first-graders and six staff members dead.
Add the divisive chaos of a national election and the strain of a sluggish economy, and 2012 is a year that most Connecticut residents can't wait to leave behind.
"There's a lot of worsts for 2012, with all the weather and tragedies and that sort of thing. I couldn't begin to think of a favorite memory," said Chris Stack, 48, a social worker in Stamford. "I'm hoping 2013 gets better than 2012."
Lori Soyak, of Ridgefield, echoed Stack's sentiments Monday.
"I hope things change for the better,'' said Soyak, who was shopping at Copps Hill Plaza in Ridgefield. "I hope the economy improves and I hope that people are up, rather than down. I pray for the people of Newtown. I pray they find the strength to continue.''
The fading year has been so trying, at least one person said she hasn't even started focusing on what 2013 will bring.
Betsy Delany, of New Fairfield, said she was elected president of Knollcrest, a private community on Candlewood Lake, in 2011. During her time in office, there has been an earthquake, Tropical Storm Irene, the October nor'easter, and finally, Sandy.
Twice, Delany said, she was without power for a week and huge trees were knocked down in her yard by the storms.
"I'm afraid to look that far into the future,'' said Delany, when asked about 2013 during an interview at the U.S. Postal Service office on Backus Avenue in Danbury.
Not all took such a dark view of the passing year. For some, 2012 had its bright spots, including weddings, engagements and professional successes.
Giorgio Fareira, who works with Ifrach at Starbucks, is one of those people. The 24-year-old Fareira is perhaps best known as the Sonic Drive-Thru singer -- the musician whose video of him singing his order at the fast food chain made him a viral sensation.
Fareira, who lives in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport, said the video made 2012 "a weird year" that included a guest appearance on the talk show "Ellen."
But even Fareira's year wasn't perfect after he lost power for a week after Sandy. Still, Fareira said he's looking forward to 2013 for a number of reasons.
"I have a lot of big plans," he said. "It's sort of nice to have that fresh start feeling that comes with the new year."
Southbury resident Tim Ramsey, 24, concluded the year on a high note, after he became engaged to his girlfriend, 23-year-old Katie Weidlein, of Andover, Mass., on Sunday.
The ecstatic young couple was in Fairfield on Monday, along with Ramsey's mother, Barbara, 58, of Southbury, and his grandmother, Alice Kine, 81, of Stratford.
All were looking ahead to the new year with the excitement of wedding plans ahead of them.
But even while celebrating her son's engagement, Barbara Ramsey, a speech pathologist with the Region 15 school district, said she's eager to move on from 2012's darker moments.
"I'm actually happy to see 2012 go," she said. "Living in a bordering town to Newtown, and being a teacher, it's been a tragic time."
Her son agreed.
"We definitely are moving forward and looking ahead," Tim Ramsey said.

Alex Brown, the convener of ISO's OOXML subcommittee (SC34), criticized Microsoft last week for failing to properly support the standard in Office 2010. Brown declared that Microsoft's office format was "heading for failure" due to the growing number of unresolved technical deficiencies and Microsoft's own apparent lack of interest in implementing ISO's revised version of the standard. Microsoft technical evangelist Doug Mahugh responded on Wednesday in an effort to clarify Microsoft's intentions for OOXML support. He said that Microsoft is strongly committed to the standard and plans to achieve full compliance with the ISO-approved specification. He explained that Microsoft was unable to support strict OOXML compliance in Office 2010 due to various logistical issues and time constraints.

Remodeling Pictures and Ideas to Remodel Your Home Remodeling Ideas
How much will Window Replacement cost you?
It all comes down to a picture
If you're brainstorming your next home remodeling project, you know the importance of a picture—a vision—in laying the groundwork for your plan. There is nothing more crucial than planning the layout. square footage, placement of fixtures and overall aesthetic of your new space. In fact, the remodels that turn out badly are the ones that were rushed, thrown together or poorly managed by the contractor. You can take charge of your remodel by first getting a picture of the work you'd like done.
For pricing on a home improvement project in your area, click here .
How do you bring your vision to reality? It all starts with an idea. It starts with browsing pictures of the remodel you're interested in. From flooring options to window types and cabinet materials, the best way to visualize your new home is by mapping it out with pictures.
You can get started by browsing our Ideas Gallery below. On this page, you can view and save photos of every type of home remodel. For example, if you have a kitchen remodel in the works this year, you're well aware that the job entails not only kitchen countertops. cabinets and appliances, but most likely a new kitchen design, upgraded flooring, track or pendant lighting, and maybe even a multifunctional kitchen island. You can find images of all of these fixtures and more in the Kitchen Remodeling gallery below.
Or, if you're looking to boost your curb appeal, check out the House Painting Gallery. where you'll see recent paint jobs that upgrade a home's exterior, making it the head-turning envy of the neighborhood. You can also see how painted decks not only look better than unfinished types, but survive the elements with little maintenance over the years.
By doing your research here, you'll get a good sense of how homeowners plan their remodels, including which countertops look best in which style kitchen or bathroom, how you can build a home addition that actually fits seamlessly with the existing home, what a truly successful basement remodel looks like (and how fun it is to have a bonus living space), and most importantly, how homeowners tie it all together to make one stylish yet transitional space.
Speaking of stylish home remodels, the importance of a well-recommended, competitively priced contractor cannot be overstated. You will find hundreds of contractors clamoring for your work, but with projects as expensive as window replacements, kitchen remodels or second-story additions, you want a contractor that comes with glowing recommendations. At CalFinder, our contractor referrals guarantee just that—quality work at a price you can afford. Get matched with a local contractor. and you'll see the expertise of CalFinder's own certified professionals. In fact, all of the pictures below are recent remodels completed by our own contractors—a testament to their phenomenal work and attention to detail.
The mark of a good contractor is their ability to listen. Think of your project planning this way—if you approach your contractor with nothing to bring to the brainstorming table, he or she has far too much say in the construction of your home. If, on the other hand, you lay out a list of items or fixtures you are interested in—such as granite or Corian countertops, hickory or maple cabinets, medium-finish hardwood floors, built-in shelving, and a few casement windows for extra light and fresh air—this not only ensures you get a space you'll love for years to come, but it makes the contractor's job of meeting your needs that much easier. Your contractor should want to sketch out your vision for you, and help you remodel the home you've always dreamed about.
Of course, nothing brings your ideas together quite as well as a photograph. Only a picture can perfectly describe the detail, work and time that go into a valuable remodeling investment. That said, it's time to get browsing and fleshing out your own remodeling ideas. Scroll down, and you'll find photos of complete remodeling projects from every angle of the home. When you're finished, you can bring the whole picture together with extra information from the Remodeling Blog and Home Improvement Library. All home improvement topics from A-Z, including how to avoid the disasters of do-it-yourself remodeling, are easily searchable in the Library.

I was surprised how affected I was by The New York Times series on Dasani, the young girl growing up in a City "family" homeless shelter in Brooklyn. I say that because for 23 years I've seen my share of family tragedy and anguish resulting from poverty, homelessness, violence and dashed dreams. I thought I was immune to the grief.
I long to invite Dasani and her family to live in our family supportive housing*. They would have a lovely apartment with a full kitchen, their own bathroom and rooms for the kids. Their window would look out on a quiet, tree-lined street. They would have the luxury of a team of staff to support them – the kind of support you need when picking up the pieces of your life.
If Dasani was part of Bailey House she would receive homework help. She'd be invited to be part of a writing group with other kids who have become amazing poets. She and her siblings would go to museums and parks. Dasani would go to school in the neighborhood and know that if she needed help, Bailey House staff would be there.
If we housed Dasani and her family, she'd have a chance to be valedictorian of her class, like some of our kids. She'd probably go to college. She would have a future of promise and opportunity. She would soar!
If we housed Dasani and her family, the City would save thousands of dollars a year. Over their lifetime the savings would be hundreds of thousands. That could be invested in creating more homes for future Dasanis and their families. More tragedy could be prevented.
It's a tragedy that our leaders have yet to take bold steps to end family homelessness. The Bloomberg administration made so many mistakes regarding homelessness and poverty that the system is beyond broken. It needs life support.
I hope for Dasani's sake that Mayor-Elect De Blasio is thinking way outside the box. I hope he encourages public policy risk-taking. Dasani and all of the children like her deserve our best thinking. They deserve us all rolling up our sleeves and making change that's real.
*Bailey House provides supportive housing to families living with HIV/AIDS. There are more than 100 children like Dasani in our program. Here is a poem written by a child in our Family Program when she was 6 years old:
I will help.
Will be good.
The hair will be
beautiful. I will walk
through walls easily.
I will be a
Nobody will see me.
My invisible will
scream out loud how-
ever she want to.

Drummond has career night, Pistons edge Cavs
Cleveland, OH – Led by a career-high 29 points from Andre Drummond the Detroit Pistons earned a season sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night with a 111-104 victory at Quicken Loans Arena.
Drummond, who was taken ninth overall in last year's NBA Draft, finished on 10-of-11 shots from the floor and also collected 11 rebounds for the Pistons who have won all four matchups in a season with Cleveland for the first time since the 2002-03 season.
"The great thing about Andre is he struggled in the first half and was able to bounce back. I thought his energy was great to start that third quarter. And to me, it's all about rim protection. That's his huge advantage," Detroit head coach Lawrence Frank said.
Greg Monroe added 23 points and eight rebounds, Rodney Stuckey dropped in 18 points to go with seven assists and Will Bynum netted 16 off the bench as well for Detroit. The Pistons have won back-to-back games after dropping eight straight.
Kyrie Irving had 27 points and nine assists but missed a crucial free-throw in the final minute for the Cavaliers. Tristan Thompson recorded 19 points and eight rebounds and Dion Waiters, taken five spots ahead of Drummond in last year's draft, tallied 11 off the bench.
The Cavaliers have now lost three-straight games and are just 14-25 at home on the campaign.
Neither team was able to earn much of an edge in the first quarter with both teams having leads of as many as four points. A driving layup from Monroe in the final minute of the period allowed the Pistons to take a 28-24 lead into the second quarter.
Monroe and Drummond combined for 16 points in the frame while Thompson kept the Cavaliers alive with 11 points and seven rebounds which matched the total collected by Detroit.
Cleveland began to pull away midway through the second quarter with a 13-2 run highlighted by a backdoor pass from Shaun Livingston for an easy dunk for Kevin Jones. The Cavaliers led 43-34 after the run.
Stuckey stroked a pair of 3-pointers to begin a 19-6 run, which he also finished with a fall away jumper with less than a second left in the quarter, as the Pistons rallied to take a 53-49 lead into the break. Cleveland missed its last five field goal attempts in the half.
After scoring six points while taking more of a facilitating role (seven assists) in the first half, Irving dropped in 10 points in the third quarter as the Cavaliers shot 57.9 percent from the floor to take a 75-74 lead into the final period.
The Pistons had led, 72-61, with 3:44 to play in the period but the Cavaliers locked down on defense and went on a 14-2 run in the final three minutes of the third.
The contest remained close for much of the fourth quarter with Detroit flipping a three point deficit into an 89-85 lead with 6:20 remaining on a third-straight jumper from Bynum.
The Cavaliers would then begin intentionally fouling Drummond, who shoots below 40 percent from the free-throw line, at that point. Drummond would hit 8-of-14 from the free-throw line over the next four minutes to keep the Pistons ahead 101-99.
"I figured if we had a nice tight game and they were playing pretty well offensively, we would try and mix it up," Cavaliers coach Byron Scott said of the strategy of fouling Drummond, "We would throw a little bit of a wrinkle at him and hope that he would shoot his percentage."
Drummond then took a charge from Thompson with 1:45 remaining and tipped in a missed shot from Monroe on the other end. Consecutive layups from Thompson and Irving knotted the game at 103-103 with 44 seconds to play but Monroe responded with a shot in the paint himself.
On their next possession Irving missed a 3-point attempt with 21.9 seconds to play and after collecting the rebound the Pistons would knock down 6-of-8 free throws in the last 20 seconds to hold on for the win.
Game Notes
Bynum scored 12 points in the fourth quarter marking the eighth time this season he has scored in double figures in the final period...The Pistons are 11-29 on the road this season...Cleveland had a 49-33 edge in rebounds... Detroit had 16 more free-throw attempts than Cleveland and seven fewer turnovers.

Probiotics seem to be one of the new big things in health. Every time you go into a grocery store it seems that they are added to everything from yogurt to multi vitamins. Probiotics are beneficial to your body because they help to hold on to the healthy bacteria that your body needs to function properly and keep it in balance. They also provide enormous help with stomach ailments ranging from indigestion to intestinal inflammatory diseases, and keep the digestion system running smoothly. But do they help with the skin?
Many skin concerns from rashes to acne are a result of allergens entering the body, usually in the form of food. Probiotics can help to break down these allergens so they have less of an effect on the skin. Since your digestive system is also working properly, any toxins will be flushed out of your body faster and more effectively leaving less of a negative impact on the skin.
Probiotics are safe to consume every day but if you are currently on, or just finished, any antibiotic treatment it is important that you take probiotics in order to regain the healthy, friendly bacteria in your body that antibiotics kill since antibiotics will eliminate all of the bacteria in your system – good and bad. It is simple enough to pick up some probiotic yogurt or kefir from your grocery store and eat a cup a day, or you can look for other probiotic formulated foods. Supplements are available and safe if you invest in a good brand, but usually unnecessary if probiotic foods are added to your diet.

One of the trademarks of the current recession has been widespread unemployment. As a result, anyone looking for a job right now should probably cast a wide net and include government jobs in their search for a regular paycheck.
Public-sector employment is sometimes seen as the booby prize of the job market. But there some lucrative opportunities out there. According to data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, the highest-paying government jobs outside of elective office have annual salaries of more than $85,000 and include jobs in a wide array of fields, including law, medicine, science, and finance.
As in the private sector, anyone expecting to be hired in these government jobs needs to achieve a baseline level of expertise. Fortunately, tax dollars not only pay these salaries, but also help fund internships that will give prospective hires the skills they'll need to find full-time employment in these positions.
As one might expect, some of the highest-paying government jobs are held by elected officials. The largest government salary goes to the president of the U.S, who earns $400,000 a year. Interestingly, the vice president is not the second-highest paid government employee. That distinction belongs to the Postmaster General, whose annual salary is $245,000. The Speaker of the House earns $223,500 annually, the Senate majority leader earns $193,400, and the vice president brings home nearly half the president's salary at $227,300 a year.
So what can job-seekers expect from a public sector paycheck? Using data from the Office of Personnel Management, CNBC.com collected the annual salaries of employees in 10 of the high-earning government jobs, and compared them with the salaries from the same jobs in the private sector, utilizing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some are jobs are better-paying in the private sector and some have higher salaries in government positions...regardless, they all pay well.
What are some of the highest-paying government jobs? Click ahead and find out.

They are particularly important in resource-poor country settings where data cannot be produced by routine or administrative data systems. They are vital for poverty measurement and there has been an upsurge in the number of household surveys conducted post-1950. The academic literature critiquing the concept of household is rich, has a long history, and is drawn from many disciplines. Relatively little research examines how these critiques could translate into improved household survey data collection and analysis. The majority of the people who use household surveys, for example, policymakers or programme managers, tend not to be aware of the limitations of a household as defined by a survey.

Tiny Travel Story: London
What's London Like?
London is considered to be one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and any visitor will immediately notice the great diversity found within the city. London residents, and visitors alike, hail from around the world and combined speak over 300 languages. Don't be surprised if during your first days in London you are asked for directions; as you simply cannot tell a local from a foreigner. Hyde Park, Kew Gardens, and Regent's Park are but a sampling of the abundant parks and open spaces scattered throughout London. And of course you can't miss the many royal palaces scattered throughout London and nearby towns.
The capital city has over 300 museums, 250 art galleries, 200 theaters, 6 full time symphony orchestras, and more than 600 cinema screens. Concerts, celebrities, movie premiers, theatre productions, sporting events, and world news headlines are constantly keeping London in the spotlight. Whatever one's interests may be, the attractions and activities found within London are essentially endless, and simply cannot be tackled in a single visit. London is truly in a league of its own and no matter what your taste, studying abroad in London is sure to provide you with many wonderful memories!
Region and Population
Located in southeast England, London is Europe's largest and most cosmopolitan city with a population of 7.7 million, and has a metropolitan area population of between 12 and 14 million people. The state of Great Britain is made up of the three countries including England, Wales, and Scotland. They all have distinct cultures and should not be confused! The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (also known as the UK for short) comprises the island of Great Britain, the north-east part of the island of Ireland and many small surrounding islands.
London is commonly known to have a mild and damp climate, but it is not strange to witness a complete change from rain clouds to sunshine in a matter of minutes. Also, London is home to the most 'green spaces' in the world, and with the frequent rains these parks are sure to remain lush and beautiful!

The coloring done in RGD is pretty much perfect, making his characters look pretty good. The coloring done in Umineko is average, and the Higurashi one is a bit bad, but the coloring done in Higanbana... my God, it's awful!

Hmmm, perhaps I've been working on the game too long, but I think Higanbana's colouring is quite decent in-game. It kinda fits in with the tone of the story, as well as the background images.
I think some of the sprites in Higurashi look a bit weird. I always think that Keiichi looks a bit like an alien

R07's drawings always seem to come out better when someone else colors them. Here's some pictures of his drawings from the Higurashi Character Guide Book. He did the drawings... but a different person did the coloring.

For me, Higurashi's and Umineko's both have a huge problem : Proportion, or even just cohesion between the sprites. For example, just compare Chie's, Rena's, Irie's and Takano's. Alone, they're not THAT bad, but when you compare the proportions... Rena's head is huge compared to the rest, and Takano placement is weird when we compare it to Irie's (especially in doc suits).
Same for Umineko, what the fuck about Lambda being as big/tall as Beato, Battler and Goat Kun ?
On the other hand, it was okay in Higanbana.

Speaking of sprites, some people might be interested to see this earlier version of Satoko's sprite:
(Left: Original version; Right: Revised version.)
In the original, you can see that Satoko's legs are in a VERY awkward position. How is she even standing up?! It probably looked awkward enough for the sprite to be moved down slightly, cropping the legs.
Also, the grey tie probably looked too dull. I think the yellow tie looks better.

I don't think I've posted these before, but sorry if I have.
Here's an early image used on the 07th Storming Party website, probably around the time Higurashi was first announced, as a sort of placeholder. The photo was apparently just grabbed from the Internet somewhere and a primitive sort of logo superimposed on it:
And here's an early version of the title screen. I quite like the background image used. I prefer the final logo, though:

I have a question again, although I'm sure it has been asked before (sorry):
Rika enters the Minagoroshi and the Matsuribayashi scenarios one or two weeks before the Watanagashi in Shouwa 58. How could she warn Akasaka to go back to Tokyo in these scenarios?

And I also have a question... XD , In Matsuribayashi Anime, Rika and Hanyuu are talking that 'With this , Everything is ready and this time they can win against Takanos will' ,But Rika forgets about Takano later? (This scene end the 'Piece connecting' part in the Original VN). This scene really bugs me lol.

We can't tell you how to extract them, but all graphics are in the data02000.arc file (if you're with the official english release) or the usual arc files (if you're with the japanese version).

First, take a look at this rubbish diagram I just drew:
(Click for larger image.)
The way I see it, Himatsubushi takes place before any of the other arcs (from Rika's point of view), when Rika still had the ability to travel back to the time when Akasaka visited Hinamizawa for the first time. In that scenario, Rika was not able to get Akasaka to return to Tokyo. However, in another scenario, Akasaka does return to Tokyo. This is the last time Rika goes back that far, and so the fact that Akasaka returns to Tokyo 'sticks'. In other words, Akasaka will always return to Tokyo in all future scenarios. All the other arcs branch off this scenario.
This is how, in Minagoroshi and Matsuribayashi, Akasaka has been warned. Please let me know if my explanation still doesn't make sense. I can try to explain it a bit clearer when I'm not trying to type things out on a rubbish iPad on-screen keyboard.

Hmmm, I think that took place at the beginning of Matsuribayashi, before the connecting-the-pieces thing. You could say that was an extension of Himatsubushi. The main part of Matsuribayashi (after the connecting-the-pieces) is a separate branch along the "yes" fork in my diagram.
