This handsomely bound, pocket-sized volume serves as a portable collection of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry and prose. His exquisitely musical poems merge words with dream and vision, providing us with a shadowy link to our unconscious life. Through his obsessions, and by virtue of his uncanny imaginative instinct, Poe anticipated many of the psychological contexts and concerns that inhabit much of twentieth-century literature. The collection contains several of Poe's most celebrated poems, including "Annabel Lee," "A Dream within a Dream," and "The Raven."

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Kelvin Sampson changed starting lineups. He
switched to a zone defense.
The Oklahoma coach even ditched his favorite denim-blue shirt,
looking for anything that might snap his slumping Sooners out of
their funk.
"It wasn't working for me, man," Sampson said of the shirt
after Oklahoma (No. 21 ESPN/USA Today, No. 20 AP) ended its longest losing streak in five years
with a 61-49 victory over Kansas State on Saturday.
Sampson flashed a wan smile when asked if he would don the
crimson-colored silk sweater again.
"I'm going to give this one another shot," he said.
The Sooners (11-4, 1-3 Big 12) won, in part, because senior
forward Jason Detrick finally started taking shots.
Detrick, hampered most of the season by an abdominal strain and
the effects of a concussion, broke out of a shooting slump to score
24 points. In the previous three games, Detrick had scored a total
of 20 points on 21 shots.
His emergence helped Oklahoma pick up a win it desperately
needed after getting off to its worst start in conference play
since Billy Tubbs' first season as coach here in 1980.
"He hasn't been the same kid since the concussion," Sampson
said. "We didn't get him back until this week."
The Sooners hadn't won in three weeks, a four-game skid with an
average margin of 18 points. Before Saturday's game, it was
announced that starting forward Kevin Bookout would miss the rest
of the season after deciding to have shoulder surgery.
Kansas State (9-6, 1-3) proved to be the perfect tonic for
Detrick and the struggling Sooners.
"Our backs were to the wall," Detrick said. "It's been a long
21 days. It feels real good to get a win right now."
Detrick went 8-of-14 from the field, including 3-of-6 from
3-point range. But he was the only Sooner to score in double
figures as Oklahoma continued its offensive struggles.
The Sooners shot just 36 percent -- about right for the worst
shooting team in the Big 12 -- yet still found a way to win against
a team that mostly plays with a lineup featuring no player taller
than 6-foot-8.
"We didn't shoot the ball well, but I thought we played well,"
Sampson said. "We've been changing some things up and sliding
players around to find out what works best for us."
The change to the zone defense, though, gave Kansas State the
most trouble.
Kansas State finished with more turnovers (21) than field goals
(18), and Oklahoma never led by fewer than 11 points in the second
Wildcats point guard Frank Richards struggled mightily against
the zone, finishing with no points, six turnovers and three
"It was not just one guy having trouble against the zone,"
Kansas State coach Jim Wooldridge said. "It was a multitude of
guys trying to play against it and that was the story of the
Jarrett Hart, who transferred from Oklahoma after his freshman
season in 1999-00, had 16 points for Kansas State.
The Wildcats have lost 18 consecutive road games in the Big 12.

Missile Defense:
Mixed Progress in Achieving Acquisition Goals and Improving Accountability
GAO-14-351: Published: Apr 1, 2014. Publicly Released: Apr 1, 2014.

What GAO Found
In fiscal year 2013, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) made mixed progress in achieving its acquisition goals to develop, test, and produce elements of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). For the first time, MDA conducted an operational flight test that involved warfighters from several combatant commands using multiple BMDS elements simultaneously. The agency also successfully conducted several developmental flight tests that demonstrated key capabilities and modifications made to resolve prior production issues. However, the Aegis BMD and Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) continued to experience testing and development challenges.
Aegis BMD—while the program successfully conducted three intercept flight tests with the Standard Missile (SM)-3 Block IB missile in support of a full production decision planned for fiscal year 2015, a missile failed during one of these tests. Although the cause of failure is not known, the program plans to move forward with missile production in 2014. The program is also determining whether a key component that is common with the already fielded SM-3 Block IA missile will need to be redesigned.
GMD—although the program successfully conducted a non-intercept flight test of its upgraded interceptor, the program is nearing a seven year delay in completing its first successful intercept. Until this upgraded interceptor is demonstrated in an intercept test, expected to be conducted in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, manufacturing and deliveries remain on hold. In July 2013, the GMD program also failed a flight test of its fielded interceptor. This flight test was designed to assess the fielded interceptor under more challenging conditions and to confirm design changes to resolve prior issues. MDA has not yet made a decision on how to proceed since the cause of failure has not been determined.
MDA has improved the clarity of its resource and schedule baselines since it first submitted them to Congress in 2010. However, issues with the content and presentation of these baselines continue to limit the usefulness of the information available to decision makers for oversight. First, as the agency is still in the process of improving the quality and comprehensiveness of the cost estimates that support its resource baselines, for the fourth year, GAO has found that MDA's cost estimates are unreliable. For example, MDA's 2013 cost estimates still do not include operations and support costs for military services which may significantly understate total costs. Congress has recently required MDA to include these costs in future acquisition baselines which may improve transparency. Second, MDA's schedule baselines are presented in a way that makes it difficult to assess progress. Specifically, MDA's 2013 schedule baselines include numerous events but provide very little information about them, making it difficult to understand what the events are and why they are important. Additionally, the 2013 schedule baselines do not compare the current event dates with previously reported dates, so decision makers cannot easily assess how the program is performing over time. Until MDA improves the quality and comprehensiveness of its cost estimates and the content of its schedule information, its baselines will not be useful for decision makers to gauge progress.
Why GAO Did This Study
Since 2002, MDA has spent approximately $98 billion and has requested $38 billion more through fiscal year 2018 to develop, test, and field a system to defend against enemy ballistic missiles. The BMDS is comprised of a command and control system, sensors that identify incoming threats, and intercepting missiles. GAO is mandated by law to assess the extent to which MDA has achieved its acquisition goals and objectives, as reported to Congress through its acquisition baselines, and to report on other issues as appropriate. This report examines the agency's progress and any challenges in fiscal year 2013 associated with (1) developing, flight testing, and producing individual systems, which MDA refers to as BMDS elements; and (2) reporting resource and schedule baselines that support oversight. To support this effort, GAO examined MDA's acquisition and test reports, analyzed two of MDA's acquisition baselines—resource and schedule—to discern progress, and interviewed a wide range of DOD and contractor officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends (1) any changes to the SM-3 Block IB be flight tested before DOD approves full production; (2) retest the fielded GMD interceptor to demonstrate performance; and (3) improve the content of its schedule baselines. DOD partially concurred with the first, non-concurred with the second, and concurred with the third, stating that the production and testing decisions will be made using the proper DOD processes. GAO believes both recommendations are valid as discussed in this report.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In providing comments on this report, the Department of Defense partially concurred with our recommendation to delay full production decision until flight testing the Standard Missile-3 Block IB (SM-3 Block IB) with modifications that resulted from a September 2013 test failure. In response, DOD acknowledged that if modifications are required they will be tested, but did not commit to flight testing such modifications, despite a total of three flight test anomalies associated with the component. However, in April 2015, the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisitions, Technology, and Logistics (USD AT&L) directed MDA to flight test the modifications prior to producing the redesigned missile. We continue to believe that since the full production decision should be supported by an assessment of the final product under operational mission conditions. We will continue to monitor MDA's actions to determine whether the flight test takes place prior to this commitment.
Recommendation: To strengthen MDA's acquisitions and help support oversight and, to the extent that MDA determines hardware or software modifications are required to address the September 2013 Aegis BMD SM-3 Block IB failure, the Secretary of Defense should direct, (a) the Director of the MDA to verify the changes work as intended through subsequent flight testing, and (b) the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisitions, Technology, and Logistics to delay the decision to approve the program's full production until such testing demonstrates that the redesigned missile is effective and suitable.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Open
Comments: DOD did not concur with the recommendation. In its response to the recommendation, DOD stated the decision to flight test a CE-I interceptor will be made by the Director, MDA, based on the judgment of stakeholders from the Office of the Secretary of Defense and combatant commanders on the need to perform a test. According to MDA's master test plan, the next planned CE-I flight test is scheduled for fiscal year 2018 and it is unclear whether MDA will remain committed to including the CE-I in the test, as MDA has previously indicated it may use a different type of interceptor for the test.
Recommendation: To strengthen MDA's acquisitions and help support oversight, and to demonstrate the Capability Enhancement-I's (CE-I) effectiveness against a longer range target in more challenging conditions and to confirm the design changes implemented to improve performance, as well as any changes needed to resolve the July 2013 CE-I flight test failure work as intended, the Secretary of Defense should direct MDA's Director to conduct a flight test of the CE-I interceptor once the cause of the failure has been determined and any mitigations have been developed.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In April 2014, GAO reported that MDA's schedule baselines, as shown in their annual Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) Accountability Report (BAR), were presented in a way that makes it difficult for decision makers to understand a program's planned activities and, accordingly, hold programs accountable for their performance (GAO-14-351). To strengthen MDA's acquisitions and help support oversight, GAO recommended that the Secretary of Defense direct the MDA Director to take three actions to improve the content of the schedule baselines it reports to Congress: a) focus the information included in the schedule baselines to highlight critical events; b) for each event included in the schedule baseline, provide a description for the event explaining what it entails and why it is important; and c) present the schedule baseline in a format that allows decision makers to identify any changes made from the current estimated date to the date reported in not only the prior year's BAR but also to the date established in the initial baseline. In its latest BAR in March 2014, in response to our recommendation, MDA included a new Appendix A providing a summary of critical events from the schedule baseline for each BMDS component program required to be presented in the BAR. The table compares dates of critical program events from the date in the initial baseline, the date presented in the prior year's BAR, and the most current baseline estimate. In addition, a description of each event is included in the appendix. Presenting information in this format will better allow decision makers to assess how a program is performing over time.
Recommendation: To strengthen MDA's acquisitions and help support oversight and, to improve the content of the schedule baselines it reports to Congress for monitoring program performance, the Secretary of Defense should direct MDA's Director to take the following actions as MDA implements other improvements required by the Congress: (a) Focus the information included in the schedule baselines to highlight critical events. (b) For each event included in the schedule baseline, provide a description of the event explaining what it entails and why it is important. (c) Present the schedule baseline in a format that allows decision makers to identify any changes made from the current estimated date to the date reported in not only the prior year's BMDS Accountability Report but also to the date established in the initial baseline.

LOWELL - Green Mountain Power (GMP) is making improvements to find ways to deal with the curtailment by the regional transmission operator ISO New England.
In its first year of operation, GMP was not allowed by ISO NE to work at its full potential at certain times (curtailment). GMP announced Friday that a completion of a transmission line upgrade has been allowed for an increase in generation at the Kingdom Community Wind facility in Lowell.

NEWPORT CITY – Did members of the Development Review Board expose themselves and the city to a possible lawsuit when they issued a conditional permit to construct a convince store, restaurant, and gas station on the corner of Main Street and Third Street?
The city council will address that at its meeting Monday, Oct. 7.
The permit includes razing the Newport One Stop, a neighboring office and a residential building. The board issued the conditional permit during a public hearing earlier this month.
LOUDON-With the final weeks of the NASCAR season in play, you don't really need any distractions.
For Clint Bowyer it hasn't worked out that way.
A suspicious spinout during the final race in Richmond paved the way for teammate Martin Truex to make the final 12 drivers for the Sprint Cup Championship.
The powers that be in NASCAR came down hard, knocking out Truex and heavily fining the Michael Waltrip team.
While Bowyer is saying little about the incident, there is still a Chase to run.
CRAFTSBURY–Austin Massi had a goal and an assist as the Craftsbury Chargers defeated the Concord Wildcats 2-0 on Tuesday afternoon.
"We are getting the concepts down and moving the ball much better than we were last year, we just need to do it a little a faster," said Craftsbury coach Mike Reutz.
For the full story, see the Express on Thursday 9-26-13.
BURLINGTON–Despite losing 1-0, the North Country Falcons had what coach James McKenny called the "best showing of the season" when they took on the Burlington Seahorses on Tuesday.
"This was a big turn around for us," said McKenny. "We came together and played a full eighty minutes of soccer. We hung with (BHS) and I am pleased with our results."
The Falcons and Seahorses took a 0-0 tie into the half, and it was not until the 28 minute marker that Burlington was able to beat NCU keeper Ryan Paul for the eventual game winner.
Paul finished the game with 8 saves.

A witness contacted the newspaper to report that a gunman had been seen in the woods near Highland Avenue. All residents in the Highland Avenue area, including West Main and Pleasant Street, have been asked to evacuate.

BARTON – Dave McCausland and Sue Stenta, owners of Needless Things Vermont, are pickers with a good cause. While they do operate a for profit company, much of the focus is to sort out items that can be donated to people in need.
"We collect unwanted items all over Vermont, even down south," said McCausland. "People call and we'll pick it up. Most of the material we collect is in the area."

But in terms of content delivery, smartphones and tablets blow away the old guard of the video games field. 'More power' will still likely be the clarion call of the next generation of consoles from Sony and Microsoft, and new details leaked around Microsoft's Xbox 360 successor, codenamed Durango, suggest they'll have specs to boast about.

SLOATSBURG, N.Y. — The New York Trailways bus involved in a collision on the New York State Thruway that injured seven of 16 passengers and the bus driver has a satisfactory safety rating from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), lohud.com reported. The initial state police investigation found no mechanical problems with the bus, which rear-ended a tractor-trailer. While the operator's number of problematic incidents is far below the threshold set by the FMCSA, the bus company had two accidents involving two injuries in 2009, and drivers have been cited for speeding and driver fatigue over the past two years. For the full story, click here.
The funding is provided through FMCSA's Commercial Motor Vehicle - Operator Safety Training grant program.
This brings the IMG network to 54 companies and provides expanded coverage in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Alabama.
The Ride the Ducks tour vehicle, heading northbound on the bridge, collided with one of the student buses, which was carrying about 45 students and employees in the college's international program. The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team of 17 officials to Seattle to investigate on Friday.
Drivers are invited to stop by the MCI hospitality tent for complimentary coffee and donuts, with opportunities to learn about MCI pre-owned coach inventory, parts specials, training on engine regeneration and wheelchair lifts, and more.
The purchase from MCI follows the operators' 2013 win on a four-year contract to provide transportation services to the Daimler division's Brand Immersion Experience, a program that will bring some 26,000 Mercedes employees to the plant in Vance, Ala., and other Birmingham-area locations by 2017.

DVD releases for the week of October 8, 2013
William Friedkin's horror masterpiece gets the deluxe Blu-ray treatment with "The Exorcist: 40th Anniversary" (Warner Home Video, $32.99/Blu-ray only SRP, R), which will have your head spinning with the original theatrical version, an extended director's cut and tons of awesome special features, all hitting the shelves in time for Halloween. The film, which follows an innocent girl (Linda Blair) who is possessed by an evil entity and the doubting priest (Jason Miller) who becomes her last hope, is widely regarded as one of the most frightening films ever made. Special features on this incredible Blu-ray include two commentaries by William Friedkin, a commentary from writer William Peter Blatty, the original ending, the new featurettes "Talk of the Devil" and "Beyond Compreshension," interviews, trailers and so much more. This is a must-own for any fan of horror.
I wasn't sure how I felt about "The Hangover Part III" (Warner Home Video, $24.99/DVD, $32.99/Blu-ray SRP, R) after I first viewed it. I knew I liked it, but it was a bit darker and more mean-spirited than the previous films in the series. In the end, I realized it was a fitting ending to the Wolf Pack Trilogy and is certainly worth a rental at the very least. In the aftermath of the death of Alan's father, the Wolf Pack (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha) decide to take Alan (Galifianakis) to get treated for his mental issues. But things start to go wrong on the way to the hospital as the group is assaulted and Doug (Bartha) is kidnapped (again). Now they must find Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) again to surrender him to the gangster (John Goodman) who kidnapped Doug to save him. Special features include outtakes, extended scenes, secret auditions and featurettes.
A family is held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during "The Purge" (Universal Studios, $24.98/DVD, $32.98/Blu-ray SRP, R), a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legalized. One of the better home invasion thrillers of the past few years, "The Purge" is aided by some strong performances from Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey and a unique subplot. While most would agree that a tale of what was happening in the outside world during the titular event instead of putting the focus inside the main characters' home would've made for a more fascinating film, "The Purge" still is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride. Special features include "Surviving The Night: The Making of The Purge."
An international crew of astronauts (which includes "District 9" star Sharlto Copley) undertakes a privately funded mission to search for life on Jupiter's fourth largest moon and must survive a discovery on Europa more profound than they had ever imagined in the thrilling "Europa Report" (Magnolia, $23.95/DVD, $31.95/Blu-ray SRP, PG-13). Though the film has been available on VOD for more than a month now, it is one that you won't want to miss now that it's available on disc. Special features include deleted scenes and a visual effects featurette.
Sorry, Jack Chucky's back! A welcome return to the darker tone of the first couple of "Child's Play" films, Don Mancini's "Curse of Chucky" (Universal, $24.98/DVD, $32.98/Blu-ray SRP, Unrated) is perfect viewing for this time of year. After her mother's mysterious death, Nica (Fiona Dourif) begins to suspect that the talking, red-haired doll her visiting niece has been playing with may be the key to recent bloodshed and chaos. Fans of the franchise will find a lot to like with this latest installment which ditches the tongue-in-cheek approach and ups the scares and violence to deliver one of the scariest and most fun entries in the long-running series. Special features on both the DVD and Blu-ray include deleted scenes, a gag reel, commentary and the featurette "Playing With Dolls: The Making of Curse of Chucky." Blu-ray exclusives include storyboard comparisons and two additional featurettes.
Inspired by the legend of Stull, Kansas, and produced by rock and roll legend Slash of Guns N' Roses fame, the chilling "Nothing Left to Fear" (Anchor Bay, $22.99/DVD, $29.99/Blu-ray SRP, R) stars Anne Heche and James Tupper as a couple who move their family to a small, sleepy community that harbors a dark secret. Their teenage daughter (Rebekah Brandes) is being tormented by grisly visions while their youngest child (Jennifer Stone) has been marked for a depraved ritual to unleash the creatures of the darkness. Special features include a behind the scenes featurette and audio commentary with producer Slash, composer Nicholas O'Toole and director Anthony Leonardi III.
Many thought that M. Night Shyamalan was the second coming of Hitchcock, especially after his one-two knockout with "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable." But it all went downhill after that. "Signs" was just all right, but films like "Lady in the Water," "The Village" and the truly awful "The Happening" proved that Shyamalan wasn't capable of following up his earlier efforts. Now the maligned director has brought us the horrible Will and Jaden Smith-starring sci-fi actioner "After Earth" (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, $23.98/DVD, $32.98/Blu-ray SRP, PG-13) which finds the once promising director scraping the bottom of the storytelling barrel. When a crash landing leaves a father and son stranded on an unfamiliar and dangerous Earth, they must trek across hostile terrain and face dangerous creatures to recover a rescue beacon. It should have been fun and exciting. Instead it is the perfect remedy for insomnia. A terrible waste of time, money and talent, "After Earth" is one of 2013's worst films.

Denise is gathering 10 signatures to
Stop Craigslist From Advertising Animals.
Animals are part of the innocent crowd. They love us unconditionally and just want to be loved in return. If you can TRULY no longer properly care for an animal there are many different ways to take care of them... Your friends, family, neighbors and then even if they cannot care for your pet, there's the ASPCA, call your church, put it in the bulletin there. There will be someone who knows of someone, who knows of someone who can help you out. I hate to hear people or animals are abused/neglected or worse. Craigslist promotes unwanted individuals, not wanting to be true/genuine caregivers to a pet. Don't use craigslist or pet shops to get your pets! Won't you please, help save some innocent lives here and now? Help me to stop craigslist from listing animals on their site.

(Harry How/Getty Images)Suspended Texas Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz said it was not his choice to decline to appeal a 50-game suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs and that the decision was "out of my hands."Cruz was one of 13 players suspended for their links to the Biogenesis Clinic but is eligible to return for the postseason if the Rangers make the playoffs."My first thought was to appeal, and right up to the last day I told [the Rangers] my decision was to appeal. That was my plan. It's hard to explain it, but at the end it wasn't my decision. It wasn't what I wanted to do. It came out of my hands," Cruz said to USA Today. "It was so hard because I knew something worse could happen to me. If I wasn't a free agent, it would have been different. It's a totally different situation.The Rangers are 22-21, including 5-15 in September, since Cruz began his 50-game suspension.LEMIRE: The Achilles' heels for each postseason contenderThey begin this week 1.5 games behind the Cleveland Indians for the second wild card berth in the American League."It's so hard, you can't explain it in words," Cruz said. "There's nothing worse than seeing your teammates battle knowing you can't help. I'm not even on the bench or even around. I try to text them and stuff and try to motivate the best I can. There's nothing else I can do." Promoted Stories Comments

Hi, was wondering if the Watermelon color is opaque -- I wouldn't wear a slip with linen, but don't want to be rocking a totally see-through skirt!
KB, Vendor Rep
You don't need a slip. If you were to stand in bright sunlight from the right angle, it might appear a bit see-through, but it's dark enough that you would be just fine. The more important thing to know is that sometimes that skirt arrives without the drawstring cinched, so it looks big. If that happens, you just need to cinch up the drawstring, and the skirt is great.

BlackBerry A10 shown off in new leaked images and video
Information on the Blackberry A10 has been surfacing for some time and now new leaked video and photos are giving us our best look at the new device yet.
There are wildly differing viewpoints on whether or not the tablet is on its way out, as you might guess. One perspective is that of the smartphone taking over what the tablet does; which is basically content consumption and creation, albeit the latter on a more limited scale than, say, a standard desktop or convertible Ultrabook.

Portia de Rossi's Battle with Eating Disorders

Portia de Rossi is slated to soon share her struggle with eating disorders, as well as other personal stories in a new book due out in the fall.
The actress, and half of the most famous female couple, will reveal her battle with anorexia and bulimia, and hopefully serve as an inspiration and source of strength for those who experience similar body and mental health issues.
Portia de Rossi experienced difficulty with eating disorders for four years while filming the TV series Ally McBeal.

Why the new Flying Spur is the big, fat Bentley that makes me go grrr...
Bentley Flying Spur ★★★★★
Bentley: posh but not posh, don't you
think? Isn't that the masterstroke? I've had several, and – as you'll be
well aware – I'm not posh at all.
And please don't think I'm bragging; I'm just stating that I have a rather large soft spot for the brand.
first Bentley was a beautiful old T2 that I bought for £25,000 circa
1995. She was Brewster green, with green leather and tinted windows.
A Bentley should be as good to look at as anything that dares climb out of it, which for decades was indisputably the case, but not any more
I absolutely loved her. I took her on a golfing tour of the Isle of
Man, during which, unfortunately, she developed a potentially terminal
issue and nearly conked out on the way home.
I just about managed to nurse her back to Jack Barclay's Nine Elms branch, where the manager said, 'What would you like to do? It would probably be cheaper to put her out of her misery than attempt to bring her back to life.'
called my bank and enquired as to the state of the current Evans
balance, which to my utter surprise was far rosier than I'd imagined it
might be.
Not only did I have enough to fix her up, but I was only a few
of Her Majesty's finest English pounds short of the price of the brand
new Bentley Brooklands sitting out front on the forecourt.
'What the
heck – let's do this thing!' I said.
There is a resplendent walnut dash, faultless coachwork and swish and sophisticated two-tone trim... Absolutely beautiful
I traded in the old T2 in part-ex, and an hour later was behind the wheel of the most expensive consumer purchase of my life thus far – and back in the red as a result.
But I didn't care. I loved every inch of my new chariot. I thought she was the most magnificent motor car I'd ever sat in – although this opinion wasn't shared by a number of my mates.
My period Brooklands was the
beginning of Bentley going off the boil.
Whereas its models had always
been sportier and generally far less flowery than Rollers, this was the
moment they began to lose their mojo.
there's been the Continental GT since, but that's never really been a
Bentley in my eyes; more a mass-produced gym bunny that's spent too many
hours in the weights room.
Having said that, I bought its four-door bro
the Continental Flying Spur a few years back, but I never liked the way
it looked or how it drove.
recently as last year I succumbed again, falling for a black Mulsanne.
She delivers a stunning driving experience. I was early into work every one of the four mornings I decided to take her
Excellence personified, pure shameless joy. Yet there was a problem. Each day her bulk seemed bigger and bigger, until it began to make London look like a model village. She had to go.
here we sit with the marque's latest form, and, oh goodness me, what
can I say? Is no one at Bentley aware of how amazing and classy its cars
used to look and just don't any more?
The Corniche, the R Type, the S series… What a lineage – and what have they done to her rear end this time? She looks like a hulking great Bristol on a bad day. Never a good thing.
on now – there's only so much lack of finesse and form that famous GT
grille can make up for (a ploy that's wearing thin, by the way).
OK, she
goes like stink – I mean, really punchy, with truckloads of torque and
over 600hp. In fact, she delivers a stunning driving experience. I was
early into work every one of the four mornings I decided to take her.
There's also further evidence of the artisan brilliance of the boys and girls at Bentley via the resplendent walnut dash, faultless coachwork and swish and sophisticated two-tone trim, cut and stitched so sharply that I almost felt any naked flesh left out on display might be in danger of laceration. Absolutely beautiful.
Where's the combination of elegance and power gone? Where's the sleekness of old?
those intending to spend most of their time as a passenger there's also
little cause for complaint, with bags of space and enough gadgets and
gizmos to put even the most power-crazy control freak at ease.
Like the individual work and entertainment stations for both rear passengers, including separate DVD players, Wi-Fi and a pop-out smartphone-style handset that gives the owner control over basically everything except the windscreen wipers.
And littered around the cabin are several hugely anti-PC cigar lighters, along with an outrageously eccentric walnut-veneered sunglasses case that slots triumphantly into the matching central console.
But as impressive as all this is, it can never make up for the fact that the car really is quite terrible to behold.

Countless Bentleys from the past cross the auction blocks of the world on a weekly basis, having had potential bidders salivating like rabid dogs for weeks on end before the sale. Isn't this what we want from Bentley?
A Bentley should be as good to look at as anything that dares climb out of it, which for decades was indisputably the case, but not any more.
Where's the combination of elegance and power gone? Where's the sleekness of old? It's like Rolls and Bentley have swapped places, with the Ghost emerging as the unlikely winner.
I can only presume either the agenda at Bentley has changed, or the design department need to do what I did this week, and go and have a consultation for laser eye treatment.
The new Flying Spur is a frustrated superstar trapped in the body of a much more portly and hammy wannabe who needs to be dragged off the stage as soon as possible.
And there's one final conundrum. Bentley has produced the most powerful four-door driver's car of all time, yet in its No 1 market, China, most will be chauffeur-driven. What's that about?
Plus, the average speed in Beijing is just seven miles an hour. This means there's a whole extra 193mph that will remain forever untouched.
Welling up yet? Me too.
It's like Rolls and Bentley have swapped places, with the Ghost emerging as the unlikely winner

First Home site offers affordable ownership
Daniels Corp. is launching its eighth First Home community of townhomes in Brampton with prices starting at about $159,900.

Share via Email
Daniels Corp. is launching its eighth First Home community of townhomes in Brampton with prices starting at about $159,900. Homes go on sale on a first-come, first-served basis Saturday .
The 150 one- and two-storey townhomes are expected to sell out quickly because Daniels provides an affordable down payment program. Buyers need only put down $2,500 with the offer, another $2,500 within 10 days and $1,000 every month until five per cent of the purchase price is reached.
The community is located off Bramalea Road, north of Sandalwood Parkway and is nearly complete. Buyers can move into the homes in about 30 to 90 days.
Daniels' vice president Don Pugh says, "By building these homes before they go on sale, purchasers can tour a model of every home design and see which layout best suits their lifestyle." The homes range from 530 to 1,375 square feet. There are one, two and three-bedroom designs and seven floor plans available.
"It's a traditional First Home community with stacked townhomes and back-to-back townhomes. Some units face a new school and so have an almost park-like setting. A few units feel quite private which is unique for a community where density is an attribute," says Pugh. "There is lots of landscaped space. The community feels, even though it's a high density, very open. It's quite similar to our Eglinton West community built about 14 month ago. But with this Brampton community, we have extra parking for some of the stacked townhomes."
Since it's located off Sandalwood Parkway, it has easy access from Highway 410. "There will be a large retail environment within walking distance. When we look for First Home sites we look for locations that have the benefits of transit as well as pedestrian-friendly shopping," says Pugh.
As well as the easy deposit structure, Daniels' Live Free program waives the interim occupancy fee until the condominium is registered. This means that purchasers can move into their new home and pay only the deposit payments each month until they reach five per cent down. Exclusive mortgage rates are capped for up to 120 days after they purchase.
Through the federal home buyers' plan, first-time buyers can withdraw up to $25,000 from their RRSPs toward a down payment, and can take advantage of the first-time buyer's tax credit of up to $750 toward closing costs.
"In keeping with First Home philosophy, we've minimized closing costs and make sure there are no surprises. Since many of our buyers are inexperienced, we inform them of the mandatory closing costs such as the land transfer tax. We don't want them to have any hidden fees on closing," says Pugh. Condo fees have yet to be determined but generally are about half the average cost.
"We know how hard it is to get that first deposit and so anything we can do to help that is beneficial. Extras such as window blinds, air conditioning and Rogers bundles for TV, Internet and telephone are included to make moving in as turnkey as possible. However, there will be couple of new incentives that will be announced only at the opening," says Pugh.
"We had about 500 people show up for the home buying seminar we held about five weeks ago. The energy level was really good and very positive, so we're exciting about building in Brampton and plan to do more," he says.
The sales office is located at Sandalwood Parkway and Bramalea Road in Brampton. Register online or call to receive an invitation for the Wednesday, July 7 to Thursday, July 8 preview event. The homes go on sale on Saturday, July 10 at 8 a.m. Call 905-792-7926 or visit www.danielsfirsthome.ca.
