The Lexington Club by critically acclaimed Chef/partner Laurent Tourondel and TAO Group marries classic French technique with the authentically American concept of steakhouse and vibe dining. The magnificent Beaux-Arts inspired space is reminiscent of the grandeur of old Penn Station.View Private Dining Details
Everything really was top notch. Great food. Great ambiance. Excellent service.
Great things going on in the new Lexington Club. Food, service and atmosphere are wonderful.
This was our first visit since it became the Lexington Club ( it used to be The Arlington Club) The food and service were wonderful. My only disappoint was that when it was the Arlington, the had filet mignon on the bone - my favorite. Now it is off.
An Excellent deal 🙌🙌💖💖
Nice place and good food. The waiter was good as well. A good Resturant with a good selection on the menu.
New management is rude. Hostess argued with us when we asked to move tables saying the others were reserved. We had a reservation clearly and those tables were not filled till we were paying the check. I also do not appreciate being called “darling” or “sweetheart”, especially by a Middle aged man who doesn’t know me.
The wait staff was fantastic.
Bartender needs to learn how to make an apple martini.
All very positive. Same space but under new management.
I loved the Arlington Club and did not realize until recently that there was a change in ownership. I was pleasantly surprised that the menu was pretty consistent, monster sized home made warm popovers and all. Service was sill great, big tables far away so you can have an intimate conversation. Food is off the charts good - suitable for sharing. Highly recommended. Now only open for dinners. Will definitely go back again.
40 th Birthday
Everything would have been perfect but the manager/host wouldn't allow me to sit at two open tables by the bar because it was happy hour and he wanted us to pay full price. Made absolutely no sense!
I wanted to love this restaurant, unfortunately it took over 1 hour and 15 minutes to get our meal (from the time the order was placed), we actually never ended up receiving our meal, we walked out.
went for a steak on valentines day, very good time
Steak is excellent! If you miss going to the Post House you should give this a try. Service was also spot on. A definite keeper if you like classic steakhouse.
I always enjoyed this restaurant when it was called the Arlington Club and the good food and service continues now that it is called the Lexington Club. The food is a bit pricey but portions are ample. (I usually end up taking home 1/2 of my entree.) The only real criticism I have is that it gets so noisy at prime times that it can make conversation difficult. I also wish they would serve lunch as the Arlington Club did.
Good and very noisy
First time here. Service was timely and helpful. Good steak and fish. Outstanding popovers. Reasonable value as well. We left happy.
Unfortunately, the food was meh!
Place has a nice dining room, but I will not be back!
The manager was unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable while with our client.
Excellent food and service!
Spent the best New Year’s Eve! Jamie took great care of us. Great service and food. Thx Tom!
It was our first time at this restaurant and what a find! The steaks and sides were delicious and the popovers were superb. The service was friendly and wonderful and the owner came over to introduce himself. What a special place!
This place is rebounding under new management. Thought service was very attentive and the owner/maitre D was excellent. Food was cooked perfectly. Very enjoyable. Went with the porter house for 2, which was excellent. Smashed potatoes also a must. Caesar salad good but standard. Previous visits had the Cote De Boef for 2 (i'd skip unless you know you like this cut) and Rib Eye for 1. Venue itself is excellent as usual and maintains classic steakhouse feel with an urban/historic edge to it.
Need to offer smaller cuts of steak (smallest filet was 12 oz), and some less expensive bottles of wine. We had a lovely waiter who suggested sharing different plates that were large, which worked out well.
Good steak house with fair prices. Nice atmosphere and tables not heaped on top of one another.
I had made a reservation for 1 PM but got there early and was told they only open at 1. They would not allow me in at all. Once seated it seemed like they were not ready for customers yet.
The waitress ( who's name was Cat/ Kat?) was a gem! She had explained to my wife and teenage children what was different between the types of steaks. The steaks were just perfection! I have been to many steakhouses and this was the best steak I have ever had. The only problem with the meal was with the Hot popovers were cold inside. I think this was because they had just opened and they were leftovers from the day before.
Walter, Sean, was a little overbearing. Just too much. Also NY strip good piece of meat but way too salty. No mention of seasoning on menu. Mentioned this to waiter and he brought over the mgr who said next time to tell waiter no seasoning but there is no mention of seasoning on menu description. Also mgr actually took the shallot which was served with the steak and placed it on top of the steak and suggested I should have eaten it that way . R U kidding me. No one tells me how to eat when I order a steak that's what I want. I'll eat the shallot separately and use steak sauce if I choose. Last year same time was excellent which is why we went back this year. Was offered dessert on the house because of the experience which was a nice gesture but because of the name change I think something's up. Won't go back and I bet they're out of business next year.
Since the Arlington club changed to the Lexington Club, something is different. The service was exceptionally good, the food was better (they added some items like fish tacos which were great)!
The owner/manager came over and chatted & wanted to know if he could do anything for us.
I would highly recommend this restaurant.
The service from beginning to end was outstanding. Being welcomed by the owner - who stored out jackets and took us to our table- as well as the professional waitress was wonderful
The steaks are excellent, the portions and quality of the food were top notch.
This is a place we will be returning to often!
Nice steakhouse look, comfortable atmosphere and Good Food. The Rib-eye for two was especially satisfying. Would go back there anytime. The service was attentive and helpful on menu fare. The desserts were creative and "just right". Nice find.
good easy menu with lots of choices.
something for everyone, and the popovers are delicious!
Great food and wine with extremely professional service! The warm popovers are amazing!!
We were pleased with the change in ownership that we received the same quality food and service.
Been here 3 times in past few months. Great food. Great service. So nice to be in any space in NYC where the ceilings are 10-25 feet high. Have ordered a bunch of salads, apps and steaks and everything has been amazing. Want to become “regulars” here. I guess I just gotta keep going.
We stumbled upon Lexington Club on a recent trip to Manhattan. We were initially drawn to the restaurant for its decor/vibe for a special date night. Upon being seated in Henry's section, we were immediately impressed by his professionalism, knowledge of the menu and friendly disposition. The food was fantastic; we ordered the frito misto, filet mignon, smashed potatos, brussel sprouts and creme brule. We definitely have this on our list for future visits to the city and highly recommend Lexington Club to others! Ask for Henry - you won't be disappointed.
This place was very nice, but they have a long way to go to compete on a steakhouse level. New owners seem very nice and dedicated but the staff has to learn the menu. Food was just ok.
Excellent - absolutely love this Restaurant. Have been there many times and continue to return. Excellent service and food.
I have dined here before and had a better experience than tonight. Not sure if the management has changed but the restaurant seems to be working out kinks -- or perhaps I caught them on a challenging day. The service was spotty which, at their price point, I wouldn't expect. Ours was an early reservation and the restaurant was not crowded; it felt like the waitstaff was down a person and the others were stretched. The Maitre D' was very attentive to a very attractive woman but not so much to others... which didn't go unnoticed. It took a little longer than usual to get wine etc. Overall, the food was good (just the Dover Sole was not, at all), and the bus boys were lovely and willing to bring extra of the fabulous popovers. I would certainly go back and give it another try.
I have gone here many times when in NYC, but this was the first time I was not happy.
I took a friend for his birthday. They seated us right in front of the door and so every time
the door opened it was freezing. We kept our coats on. Finally the hostess came over and
said we have a booth (which was vacant from the time we walked in). She appears to be
overwhelmed for some reason.
My impression was that it is under new management. However the waiter was excellent
and it was evident that he was trying to make up for the rudeness of the hostess.
Very delish steak and good service. Will be back :)

SEOUL, Dec. 10 (Korea Bizwire) — Nearly half of South Korean adults are in favor of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un making an address at the National Assembly if he comes to Seoul, a poll showed Monday.
The survey of 503 South Koreans nationwide by local pollster Realmeter showed 46.7 percent of respondents consenting to Kim’s speech at the South Korean parliament, with 40.2 percent expressing the opposite view.
The poll has a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points, with a 95 percent confidence level. The favorable opinion for Kim’s parliamentary address was dominant within the margin of error.
More than 70 percent of liberals were in favor and the address, and nearly 70 percent of conservatives opposed Kim’s Assembly address.
By age, more than half of respondents in their 30s and 40s expressed agreement, whereas people in their 60s were predominantly opposed. Those in their 50s were evenly split.
A separate Realmeter poll released on Thursday showed that more than six out of 10 South Koreans are in favor of the North Korean leader visiting Seoul.
In the Pyongyang summit agreement in September, Kim agreed to visit Seoul “at an early date,” which President Moon Jae-in says means within this year.
But the prospects for his trip in 2018 are uncertain as North Korea’s denuclearization talks with the United States have made little progress.

As Curtis was about to be taken away, he took Jacenko into a hug, and handed her his wedding ring, watch and the contents of his wallet. He gave her a final kiss before being taken away.
Oliver Curtis has been sentenced to two years in jail, with a minimum term of one year in the Supreme Court this morning.
Curtis was convicted for using insider trading with his former best friend, John Hartman, to build his 'lifestyle of consipicuous extravagance'. He was taken to court when Hartman testified against him for the crimes he'd committed in his early 20s.
NSW Supreme Court Justice Lucy McCallum advised that based on the evidence in the case, she was convinced that 'a sentence of imprisonment must be imposed'.
According to the Daily Mail, Justice McCallum described his lack of remorse for the crimes, saying that he was driven by 'self-interested pursuit of material wealth', and reminding everyone that 'it is wrong to regard insider trading crime as victimless'.
The decision comes just days after his wife, Roxy Jacenko, who is the CEO of Sweaty Betty PR, wrote an impassioned letter pleading for his jail time to be reduced, or abandoned, because he is the primary care giver of their two children, Pixie and Hunter.
Curtis' lawyer also tried to claim that Curtis had already been subjected to negative media attention and that this was punishment enough, however Justice McCallum did not take this into account, rebutting that unlike his wife (who has posted selfies of her outfits to court hearings), Curtis has not drawn much attention.

Wildflowers of the Snowies
The Snowy Range, located in southern Wyoming, packs a lot of alpine scenery into a small area. The 2nd highest road in Wyoming makes this place easily accessible and you don't have to hike far to see some of the best views. Towering granite peaks, sparkling lakes, leftover snowdrifts, and hillsides carpeted with wildflowers all add to the beauty. I was perhaps slightly late in capturing the peak of the wildflower bloom, but I found this colorful patch of fireweed above Lookout Lake. I returned early the next morning to capture this scene under better lighting conditions. But the sunrise was a bit of a dud and this ended up being the better shot.

Sailor Limited Edition Wabi Sabi Fountain Pen at William Penn￼
Jaipur, July 19, 2022.
Sailor’s Limited Edition Wabi Sabi Fountain Pen is now available at William Penn. Wabi Sabi is a key philosophy of Japanese culture that is rooted in Zen Buddhism. It is the view or thought of finding beauty in imperfection, eschewing artificial beauty and the classic western definition of beauty, which often seems synonymous with perfection.
Sailor, the famous pen company, collaborated with Urushi artist, Wayo Shimamori, who developed a special technique called “Irogasane Sabinuri”to create these limited edition fountain pens. Irogasane means colour stack and Sabinuri is an Urushi technique using rust. First, an Urushi undercoat is applied. After the layer has dried, its surface is polished until smooth and the Sabi layer is applied. This is polished and another layer is applied to create the illusion of roughness. Several more layers of Urushi are applied and polished making it a beautiful illustration of the concept of Wabi Sabi.
The Limited Edition Wabi Sabi Fountain Pen is available in two colours, red and green, and only 88 pieces of each are available worldwide. It comes in Sailor’s largest fountain pen size ‘King of Pen’ which denotes the instrument as top of the range. The ebonite pen uses Sailor’s famous cartridge/converter system and is fitted with a 21k gold ‘King of Pen’ nib. The clipless fine writing instrument comes in a wooden box with a converter, two ink cartridges, a pen pouch and a polishing cloth.

FirstEnergy Corp. and American Municipal Power near deal on Fremont gas-fired power plant
FirstEnergy Corp. said Monday it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell its gas-fired power plant, the Fremont Energy Center in Fremont, Ohio, to American Municipal Power, Inc. of Columbus.
Under terms of the agreement, AMP would purchase the plant for about $485 million, based on its current capacity to generate 685 megawatts.
The transaction would close on or about July 1, 2011.
FirstEnergy bought the partially-built plant in January 2008 from the Calpine Corp., a bankrupt California company.
FirstEnergy has spent about $500 million on the plant, including about $253.6 million to purchase it.
AMP and FirstEnergy signed a memorandum of understanding in February announcing that they had begun non-binding negotiations.
The power plant, a natural gas combined cycle generation plant owned by FirstEnergy subsidiary, FirstEnergy Generation Corp., is still under construction but expected to be completed in a few months.
The plant includes two natural gas turbines and a steam turbine. The gas turbines are designed for use during times of peak demand.
The purchase price would be incrementally increased, not to exceed an additional $16 million, to reflect the completion of additional output and transmission capacity up to 707 megawatts.
AMP would reimburse FirstEnergy for construction costs incurred between Feb. 1 and the closing date if the transaction is completed. These costs would not exceed $25.3 million, said the Akron company.
Since its merger with Allegheny Energy in Pennsylvania, FirstEnergy said selling the Fremont plant is consistent with its efforts to "divest non-strategic assets and use the
proceeds to provide the company with additional financial strength and flexibility."

We had advertised that Mark McKibbin?s recently acquired Austin Seven Special was to be the display car at our July meeting, but when it arrived down south from Darwin, Mark couldn?t resist the urge to pull it to pieces. Its appearance at the Golf Club will therefore have to await reconstruction.
In its place this month, we substituted Ray Youlden?s brand-spanking-new Ford Focus RS, which is the most recent incarnation of Ford?s competition-orientated small car which began with the RS Escort some 25 years ago. Made in Germany and fitted with a Cosworth-headed, 2.3 litre turbo 4-cylinder engine driving all four wheels, this thing is the fastest and most powerful hot hatch around. It reaches 100km/h in 4.4 seconds and tops out at around 270 km/h. It?s capable of delivering the sort of performance normally associated with Porsches and Ferraris, but at only $51,000 it?s a performance car bargain. Ray waited 5 months for his white RS to arrive and believes it to be one of the first batch to find its way downunder.
Unless you?ve been living in a vacuum these past few weeks, you?ve probably noticed some of the unwarranted and sensationalist attention this new hot hatch from Ford has received from various police forces and social commentary do-gooders. ?It?s been labelled it a ?hoon car? because of its misunderstood Drift-Mode function. ?In keeping with modern performance-car trends the RS is bristling with modern technology, but thankfully it comes fitted with a proper 6-speed fully manual gearbox. There?s Launch Control, Stability Control, and the ability to transfer the degree of drive to either end depending on circumstances. There?s also four selectable driving modes which either soften or harden the car?s suspension and sharpen the throttle response. The most radical of these modes is the Drift Mode which delivers 70% of the 350bhp drive to the rear wheels and when teamed with the electronic differential control is perfect for practicing your Ken Block driving skills.
The RS replaces Ray?s very well used BMW M3 which according to him was still a great driver?s car, but getting a little long-in-the-tooth. The RS is certainly a step up to the next level and should prove to be a very capable track car, especially when Ray acquires an additional set of wheels for some sticky competition tyres and fits that bigger intercooler that?s on order.

From a New York spirit to a Nashville state of mind: that’s the transition Michaela Anne seems to have made with her new single ‘Won’t Go Down’, an upbeat song that introduces us to the extrovert side of her sound and personality.
The cover art gives the tone – an electric blue bedazzled jumpsuit that plunges us into a vintage honky-tonk mood. With its electric guitars and retro melody, ‘Won’t Go Down’ delves into Anne’s balance between being freewheeling and having moral values, in an up-tempo yet introspective way.
Co-written with producer Dave Brainard (Brandy Clark, Jerrod Nieman), the song explores their relationship with trouble, as the two were raised in military families and ended up in the world of music. “I ain’t no angel but I stand my ground” she sings, claiming there are sins she’ll give in to and sins she won’t.
Michaela Anne has definitely widened her range in terms of topics and musical color, adding an element of spontaneity and liveliness to her music after the very autobiographical Ease My Mind.
Joining Kelsey Waldon and Margo Price on the East Nashville scene, Michaela Anne announces with ‘Won’t Go Down’ a playful new album that mixes heartfelt lyrics and catchy hooks. Bright Lights and the Fame is set to be released in May and is already available for pre-order.
Shelly Colvin has just released ‘I Want To’, the first single from her upcoming sophomore album Longshot. Blending Americana with east-Nashville’s alt-country, California’s folk and Alabama’s gritty bluegrass, ‘I Want To’ tackles the topics of regrets and lost love with a unique voice and sound.
Shelly Colvin is Nikki Lane’s partner in crime. The two share a love of Americana and often duet on each other’s records – this single included. But don’t misinterpret shared tastes for similar sounds. While Nikki Lane has been described as the misbehaving rebel child of Americana, Shelly Colvin’s sonic identity finds its root in more of a folksy aura.
‘I Want To’ reflects Colvin’s ability to create a unique old-fashion yet modern sound. Shelly’s haunting vocals and unpretentious style takes you to another era where 70s folk meets southern rock. The song depicts the aftermath of a breakup in an elegantly down-to-earth way, Colvin singing her regrets and struggle to move on: “And I wonder who is loving you / driving you down Pacific Avenue / like I want to”.
With her gender-bending sound and authentic songwriting style, Shelly Colvin is establishing herself as one of the best up-and-coming Americana artists, and ‘I Want To’ announces a promising LP – set to be released April 1st.
The Hawaii-based Willie Nelson’s protégée has just released her first album They Say, a collection of original songs and classics’ covers filled with country-folk and blues inspirations.
You might have discovered Lily Meola during her multiple Farm Aid performances. In 2013 she joined Willie Nelson to perform ‘Will You Remember Mine’, a duet present on the To All The Girls… album. In 2014 she shared the stage with Jamey Johnson to sing their version of ‘Dream A Little Dream of Me’, and the next year they performed her self-penned song ‘Bad Weather’.
You can now find these three tracks on her debut album They Say, along with nine other country-meets-jazz gems. On this record the Maui-native delivers heartfelt lyrics filled with quirky imagery, with powerful bluesy vocals and a style that mixes Lindi Ortega’s classic country and Lucie Silvas’ pop-folk.
Between the modern Americana sound of ‘Bad Weather’ and ‘Sinkin’ Soon’, the romantic elegance of ‘Don’t Change’, and the badass swagger of ‘Bad Boy’, They Say’s original songs demonstrate that Lily Meola could very well be the next phenomenon of both alt- and mainstream country. A prediction backed by country legends Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson who showed their support to Meola by appearing on this must-have album.
Powerful vocals, fearless lyrics and a sound that blends country and alt-pop/rock: that’s what makes Morgan Myles’ music so unique and captivating. In her new EP Miss Morgan Myles, the Pennsylvania native explores all the phases of love – from its danger to its beauty – while creating a modern sound that sticks to its country roots.
Morgan Myles has been riding the music train for a while now, opening for Reba McEntire and Hank Williams Jr, and even producing her own EP in 2013. This long ride helped her find her voice and shaped her unique sound, a blend of traditional country and alt-pop with a touch of RnB.
Myles’ songwriting style makes her stand out and away from the current wave of pop-country singers. “Love is a bullet in a loaded gun / It shoots to kill when your heart is on the line / Love is a dangerous game and we’re all just fools that play” she sings on the blues-inspired ‘Queen of Hearts’. The lyrics are as country as can be – gritty, sassy and heartfelt – and Myles’ soulful voice beautifully conveys their southern roots. Add to this the multi-genre-influenced arrangements of Rio Ville, a Nashville producer who usually travels the hip-pop circles, and you get a refreshing new country sound!
Between ‘Whiskey Dreaming’ that describes the aftermath of a heartbreak, and the playful night-on-the-town anthem ‘We Won’t Go Home’, the EP is a collection of catchy “country songs with a twist”. Just listen to ‘Adeline’, which could have been the typical pop-country cheating hit but instead blends alt-pop/rock with Miranda Lambert-esque lyrics to create a totally addictive song!
The EP closes with ‘What You Do To Me’ and ‘Nobody Better Than You’, two RnB inspired love declarations that will remind you of Tori Kelly and demonstrate that country music can be elegantly modernized.
Morgan Myles isn’t afraid to explore every corner of the country specter and to venture beyond its frontiers. With the refreshing Miss Morgan Myles EP, we get a glimpse of how great modern country can sound!
Canada has proven many times to be the home of amazing country music (Whitney Rose, Lindi Ortega), and once again the Great White North hasn’t disappointed! Belle Starr is a three-fiddle band that revives country-folk with grace and sass, and their first album shows how great traditional-meets-modern country can sound.
Named after a southern outlaw, Belle Starr is the union of Miranda Mulholland, Stephanie Cadman, and Kendel Carson, three fiddlers rebelling from the diktat of pop-country as sole form of modernization. On their album of the same name, the trio delivers a unique blend of old time fiddling, step-danced rhythm sections, stunning harmonies, and fresh catchiness.
Between the liveliness of ‘New Girl Now’ and ‘Cry Now’, the ethereal vocals of ‘Same Old Scene’ and the beautiful storytelling of ‘Freedom To Stay’, the album manages to fit in the modern era without denaturing the sonic twanginess of country!
The record adds a layer of uniqueness with its mix of Celtic and Americana influences on ‘Art O’Leary’, its captivating instrumental tracks like the melancholic ‘Arthur’s Air’ and the uplifting ‘Charity Kiss’, and its countrified covers of Springsteen’s ‘Tougher Than The Rest’, Neil Young’s ‘Love Is A Rose’, and Justin Rutledge’s ‘Be A Man’.
The 2013 released album is an impressive collection of alt-country songs about love and identity search, and the lucky ones can discover the Belle Starr sound live next February – in the meantime check out the video above of the awesome performance from their CMT special.
Kailey Swanson may be Vegas-born and California-raised, but she chose to dig deep in her southern roots to build her country-rock sound. With an outlaw style à la Tommy Ash, and classic country-inspired storytelling, Swanson’s first EP Nashville Stickup sounds just like its title: a phenomenal overthrow of the pop-country wave that has flooded Music City!
After starting a career in acting, Kailey Swanson found a new voice with music and her sound at the bottom of her family tree. Inspired by her Kentucky heritage, Swanson penned five haunting tracks where her ethereal vocals add an eerie color to her heartfelt lyrics.
From the gospel-inspired Americana ballad ‘Corner in Heaven’ to the honky-tonk title song, Nashville Stickup encompasses somber moods, up-tempo catchy tunes, deep lyrics, and rock attitude. Special mention for ‘Ghost’ and ‘Backseat’ that confirm her rock inclination and will stay stuck in your head for days.
Joining Elle King on the new country-rock scene, Swanson imposes her vintage outlaw style and successfully eschews the pop trap most newcomers fall into. With the country UFO that is Nashville Stickup, Kailey Swanson is undoubtedly entering Music City with a bang!
Dana Hassall introduces her alt-country sound with self-penned ‘Spinning Wheels’, the title song from her upcoming album, and its gripping music video.
The Australian songstress lived the true country life growing up on an alpaca farm in Queensland, a lifestyle that gave her the space and time to creatively reflect on her everyday experiences and led to her discovery of songwriting when she was eight. Fifteen years later, Hassall is pursuing on this introspective path as she put to music the joys and struggles of growing up in her first LP Spinning Wheels.
With the first single, Dana contemplates the uncertainty of achieving what she aims for, while presenting the sound she has molded over the years – a mix of Americana, roots and country that reminds of an acoustic Lera Lynn.
“The single, ‘Spinning Wheels’, comes from that twenty-something feeling of wondering whether all your effort is going to amount to anything, but soldiering on when it feels like you’re getting nowhere”, Dana explains. And the song’s video perfectly reflects this aura of unpredictability, as a woman finds herself spending her life driving seemingly nowhere, carrying around her (emotional?) baggage.
As Dana Hassall works her way towards the ranks of Kasey Chambers and newcomer Fanny Lumsden on the Australian country scene, ‘Spinning Wheels’ announces a deeply wise and personal album, due to be released on January 15.

Super strong, hard wearing and comfortable. The harness of choice for at least three of the NI's most prolific new routers. I love the twin belay loops.
Metolius's most comfortable free-climbing harness, the Men's Deluxe has thicker foam and a fleece lining. The wider waist belt gives increased support to the low back area. The Men’s Deluxe Harness has four gear loops, a rear haul loop, and a reinforced tie-in point. It also includes two belay loops to minimize clutter while setting up for rappels or multi-pitch belays. One simple, patented buckle adjusts the leg loop size and rise (distance between waist and leg loops) for a natural, comfortable fit.

Statement: “Any way you chop up the land today, there’s 120 acres of industrial land in Barrio Logan, or available land that could be used for industrial purposes. It’s going from 120 acres down to 60 acres in (the proposed new community plan). That’s 50 percent,” Chris Wahl, president of public affairs firm Southwest Strategies, said at a July 11 Planning Commission hearing.
Determination: Barely True
Analysis: The City Council is scheduled to vote in September on a new community plan for Barrio Logan.
The community plan, which outlines how an area will handle future growth, will be the first in San Diego updated since the city adopted a new general plan, an umbrella blueprint for the city, in 2008.
But unlike most communities, Barrio Logan doesn’t just need to figure out where to house a growing population or how to improve its public facilities. It also needs to find a way to separate industrial properties from residential ones so people aren’t exposed to the harmful byproducts of heavy industry.
That’s why creating a buffer area between the heavy industrial activities south of Harbor Drive, and the residential community north of Newton Avenue has become a flashpoint within the plan.
City planners have put together two options for creating that buffer.
One of those options is favored by city staff and local residents, while the industrial community favors the alternative plan. At the July 11 Planning Commission hearing, the commission voted to recommend the city’s preferred option to the City Council.
Chris Wahl, a spokesperson for an interest group representing some of the smaller, maritime-oriented businesses in Barrio Logan, urged the Planning Commission to put forward a version of the first option that incorporated some elements of the alternative plan.
That’s when he said the city’s preferred plan would cut in half the amount of land in Barrio Logan available for industrial use.
After the vote, a group of industrial leaders wrote an op-ed in U-T San Diego stressing the economic benefits of the maritime industry and warning that the city’s preferred plan would hurt the industry’s long-term economic well being.
They’ve also sent letters to members of the City Council urging support for the alternative plan.
Because the maritime industry is a major component of San Diego’s economy, Wahl’s statement that the preferred community plan would cut Barrio Logan’s zoned industrial land in half deserves further vetting.
The San Diego maritime industry as a whole is worth $14 billion a year in economic activity and provides 46,000 jobs, according to a 2012 industry study.
The city’s general plan identifies it as a “base sector industry,” one that drives regional prosperity and a primary source for new business. The general plan says the best way community plans can influence the city’s economic health is to prevent encroachment into base-sector uses. The general plan specifically identifies Barrio Logan as an area with prime industrial land that should be protected.
But does the city’s favored community plan cut the amount of industrial property in Barrio Logan in half?
The community plan estimates that there are currently 121.64 acres of industrial land under city jurisdiction in Barrio Logan. That includes plenty of room that can be used for industrial, residential or commercial purposes, not just industrial.
The city’s preferred update scheme includes 60.49 acres of land zoned for industrial use. In the alternative scenario, the one favored by the maritime industry, there would be 80.48 acres of industrial land.
Based on that breakdown, Wahl’s statement seems straightforward.
But it ignores two important caveats.
One is that the community’s total acreage count includes another 112.24 acres of industrial land that’s under the jurisdiction of the Unified Port of San Diego. That land is going to remain prime industrial property, supporting the majority of the working waterfront area, no matter which version of the community plan gets rubber-stamped.
If you include that area, the community’s total industrial area goes from 233.88 acres today to 172.73 acres under the new plan, or a decrease of 26 percent.
Wahl said he stands by his argument.
“That area has been zoned industrial forever, and we know it isn’t going anywhere because it’s not under the city’s jurisdiction in the first place,” Wahl said. “So when you talk about land the city has control over, they’re changing 50 percent of that land.”
Another element worth considering, according to city planners, is the fact that maritime-oriented industrial businesses will be able to seek conditional-use permits — permits that provide an exemption from a property’s zoning — if they’re within most commercial zones.
If you add the commercial areas where maritime-oriented could seek a conditional use permit to the city-controlled land zoned for industrial use, it comes to 124 total acres.
Wahl said the affected maritime-oriented businesses can’t count on getting special permits to operate in commercial zones.
“The reality of the situation is, any new business that tried to get a conditional use permit for an industrial use where residential is allowed won’t be able to get it,” he said. “That’s just common sense. It’s an argument based on a false premise. I would characterize it as very unlikely that an industrial use will be approved where housing is zoned.”
And there’s a third element to consider: Even when the new zoning regulations go into effect, nothing changes overnight.
After the community plan is adopted, businesses in newly changed zones can continue operating as “previously conforming uses.” Those properties can be bought and sold, and won’t have their zoning changed until they’re vacant for two consecutive years.
We determine a statement is “barely true” if it contains an element of truth but leaves out critical context that may alter the impression the statement leaves.
That’s the case with Wahl’s statement.
It takes an element of truth — that the city’s preferred plan reduces by half the amount of land under its control that’s zoned for industrial use in Barrio Logan — but ignores other important considerations about how much industrial land is in the area.
For one, the previously conforming use regulations ensure that no change is going to take place right away. While the area zoned for industrial land under the new plan will drop considerably, every industrial business currently operating outside the industrially zoned area can continue doing so, just as long as they don’t vacate their property for two years.
And the statement ignores the existence of more than 100 acres of industrially zoned land that’s within Barrio Logan’s boundaries, under the port’s jurisdiction. It’s true that the city couldn’t change the zoning for that land even if it wanted to, but it’s also important to be clear that the changes being proposed only affect roughly half of the area that provides industrial employment opportunities to the region.
When the Barrio Logan industrial industry touts the economic impact it has on the region, or the number of people it employs, it doesn’t differentiate between what’s under the city’s jurisdiction versus what’s under the port’s.

Foreign Ministry to fight ‘legally flawed’ decisionBy Choi Si-young
Published : July 4, 2023 - 18:28
A South Korean court on Tuesday refused to remit government money as compensation to a Korean victim forced into during Japan’s 1910-45 colonial rule. She contends that the compensation should come from the Japanese companies held liable for damages as per a 2018 Korean court ruling.
Yang Geum-deok, 94, is one of the four victims that have refused such deposits mandated by the March 6 settlement, which relieves the Japanese firms from having to compensate the 15 victims and requires a Korean government foundation to pay them instead. Four months ago, the Korean and Japanese leaders shook hands on the compromise.
The Gwangju District Court’s decision to turn down a request from the Foreign Ministry to place court deposits is the latest highlight of what is still a divisive historical dispute that the Korean government wants resolved, despite protest from some victims and public opinion sympathetic to their cause.
“We express strong regret over the court decision,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, saying it will fight the “legally flawed” decision. The ministry added that dismissing such deposits on grounds of a recipient’s objection is “unprecedented because the court official in charge of the matter had done something not in the official’s job description.”
The ministry underscored that court officials handling clerical work have no discretion to make such a call, saying a hearing should take place to rule on the issue.
The ministry added that it will press ahead with the same plan for the three other victims that have refused to take government money. The ministry said it is waiting for court approval on one victim and refiling court documents for another. It refuses to disclose any details on the remaining victim, citing protocol for withholding sensitive personal information.
But even if the court were to accept such deposits, the ministry faces an uphill battle. The four victims refusing government money as compensation have said they will lodge a formal complaint in court, potentially unleashing a string of protracted legal battles.
The court would have to determine whether the victims’ rejection of government money could be a factor in rendering such government payment void. The victims and their representatives have repeatedly argued that it could, while the Foreign Ministry maintains such rejection has no place in affecting any kind of government action. The two sides refer to the same civil code, but different articles.
The ministry, for its part, is still adamant, saying it “has already done extensive legal research and consulted experts” in its decision to seek court deposits so the remaining victims could pick them up at any time of their convenience.
“Proceedings required for depositing compensation are underway for those who either have yet to receive payment from the fund or are unable to do so,” the ministry said, adding the government will continue to back efforts to persuade those refusing the March 6 settlement to accept the compromise.
Since May last year, the Yoon Suk Yeol administration has been doubling down on improving relations with Japan by first moving past colonial disputes. For the administration, Tokyo is a key security and economic partner, as South Korea eyes disarming North Korea and a bigger role in a US-led coalition seeking to contain China.

I thank the Minister for his statement of intent, but the number of racial attacks has doubled since 1988. The Government have failed to carry out the recommendation of the Home Affairs Select Committee that they should introduce a separate offence with higher penalties, and the Government have done nothing to tackle the attacks in my constituency and elsewhere. If they are not prepared to accept the Select Committee's report, what are they prepared to do?
The hon. and learned Gentleman, who is usually a fair man, knows in his heart of hearts that what he has just said to the House is not the case at all. The Government have taken action. We have introduced a power of arrest for those who distribute racially offensive material and, in the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, we introduced a specific offence of intentional harassment.
The hon. and learned Gentleman is aware that it would not be sensible to create a separate specific racial attack offence. It would create yet another hurdle for the Crown Prosecution Service to have to prove that there was racial motivation.
We have referred many of the recommendations of the Home Affairs Select Committee to the new racial attacks group which has been reinstituted.
I am grateful to my hon. Friend for making that valid argument. There have been several recent successful convictions for violence involving racial motivation. In one such case, the Lord Chief Justice himself emphasised that racial motivation was a severely aggravating factor. Therefore, in those cases, the courts can impose very severe sentences indeed.

A move by the European Union to include 17 countries on a blacklist of global tax havens will be a “rude shock” to any EU citizens trying to conceal assets, wealth experts said on Thursday.
Gordon Robertson, owner of Investme Financial Services, said tax authorities in EU countries will clamp down on any citizens squirrelling away assets, such as property, without their knowledge.
“Individuals who have been using the UAE to hide assets are due for a rude shock next year,” he said. “The tax authorities in the country of residence will be asking some very uncomfortable questions...property is the main culprit, as it is easy to hide large amounts of money by turning it into bricks and mortar. Cryptocurrency is also a potential global system in which one can hide assets."
The list, revealed by the EU on Tuesday after a year of tough negotiations, aims to prevent tax dodging by the wealthy. However, the UAE government said on Thursday it expects to be taken off the European Union's tax-haven blacklist after it implements final outstanding measures set by the EU.
"We have committed to a reform process which will be finalised by October 2018, and we are absolutely confident this will ensure the UAE is swiftly removed from the list," the Ministry of Finance said in a statement.
Jeremy Cape, a tax lawyer at Squire Patton Boggs, said countries added to the Council of the EU's blacklist, have according to the body, failed to meet certain criteria on tax transparency, fair taxation and the “implementation of the anti-BEPS minimum standards” - an agreement signed by some OECD member countries to tackle tax avoidance strategies that allow multinational companies to shift profits artificially to low or no-tax locations.
"In the case of the UAE specifically, the Council has concluded that it does not apply the BEPS minimum standards and has not given a commitment to do so by the end of 2018," Mr Cape said. "The UAE’s commitment to tax transparency and the automatic exchange of information in tax matters is also being monitored."
The Ministry of Finance said it has been working with the EU since early 2017 to satisfy transparency criteria, with the only outstanding issue being the implementation of the BEPS minimum standard.
"The “tax haven” label is imprecise (and highly politicised) but has clear and negative connotations," Mr Cape said. "It is seen as a mechanism to apply international pressure on countries to align their tax regimes with globally agreed standards."
"For example, countries listed on the blacklist will have funding from EU institutions limited. In addition, EU member states will be asked to reinforce their own monitoring of transactions involving blacklisted countries, raise the risk profile of taxpayers with activities in them.
Jahangir Aka, the head of Middle East and North Africa for the investment manager Neuberger Berman, said he was surprised to see the UAE on the list as EU residents invested into the four jurisdictions with links to the UK - Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Jersey and the Isle of Man, which have been placed on a so-called “grey list” - should be more worried.
“Those four are notorious with being tax havens; the UAE is not notorious with being a tax haven," said Mr Aka.
While the blacklist is primarily targeted at multinational businesses, Sam Instone, the founder of the financial advisory firm AES International, said EU citizens that try to avoid personal or corporate tax may also have taxation measures or administrative blocks applied.
“EU citizens may also find it harder to transfer assets from the EU into the UAE, for example making bank transfers,” he said.
Keren Bobker, a partner at Holborn Assets, said UAE residents from the EU will generally be unaffected but they may have a “few more hoops to jump through when remitting funds out of the UAE”.
“The majority of expats have no tax liability on their earnings in their home countries but this may not be the case for all companies, especially if they have set up a base in the UAE to avoid paying tax elsewhere,” she added. “More questions will be asked when companies are moving money around as governments and global organisations will be seeking to verify the source of funds.”

Birmingham voters will elect three city commissioners to four-year terms Tuesday. The field of candidates is strong with three solid incumbents and a challenger who would be an asset to the commission.
We back incumbents Rackeline Hoff, Mark Nickita and Stuart Shermanin this race as all three have done a fine job for many years. It would be good to see challenger Vicki Walsh, an assistant Macomb County prosecutor, volunteer for a city board or committee before serving on the commission. Vote Hoff, Nickita and Sherman on Nov. 5.
Voters are to elect three members to two-year terms on the Bloomfield Hills City Commission Nov. 5.
Incumbents Pat Hardy and Stuart Sherr deserve another term and Mike Coakley gets the nod over Mark Kapel for the final seat. Both challengers have serve on the Bloomfield Hills Zoning Board of Appeals but Coakley is the clear choice due to his experience as president of the Rudgate Homeowner’s Association, the largest homeowner’s association in Bloomfield Hills and as a senior partner at Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone.
Bloomfield Hills should vote for Hardy, Sherr and Coakley.

Millions of Olive Ridley hatchlings emerge from nests in OrissaApril 26th, 2008 - 1:10 pm ICT by admin
By Jatindra Dash
Rushikulya beach (Orissa), April 26 (IANS) In what is one of the most breathtaking sights of nature, millions of Olive Ridley baby turtles broke out of their eggshells under the sand at one of their mass nesting ground in coastal Orissa. After emerging from the nests in the Rushikulya river mouth, in the southern district of Ganjam, some 175 km from Bhubaneswar, the hatchlings started their journey towards the Bay of Bengal, forest officer Surendra Biswal told IANS.
Orissa is home to three mass nesting sites of the endangered Olive Ridley turtles, namely Nasi Islands of Gahirmatha beach in Kendrapada district, Devi river mouth in Puri district and the Rushikulya river mouth.
Gahirmatha is considered one of world’s largest nesting sites with around 700,000-800,000 turtles laying eggs on the beach every year. However, no mass nesting has been reported from Gahirmatha and Devi river mouth so far this year.
“At least 170,000 turtles came to 4.2 km stretch of Rushikulya beach on March 4 for mass nesting and returned to the sea,” Biswal said.
The female turtles drag her great weight ashore, dig a nest with her back flippers, deposit about a hundred eggs, cover and conceal the nest before returning to the sea.
“The eggs incubate in the warm sand and the female turtles never visit the nest again to take care of the eggs or the hatchlings,” he said. A female turtle lays at least 120 to 150 eggs in one go.
“Hatchlings emerge from the eggs after 45-60 days. It is one of nature’s rare phenomenon that babies grow without their mother,” he said.
It is believed that the Olive Ridley turtles return to the same beach to nest where they were hatched.
Mass hatchling here started Wednesday and all the baby turtles will go to the sea within a day or two. “We have taken all care to ensure that the baby turtles go (to the sea) without any harm,” Biswal said.
“We have engaged at least 52 villagers and forest guards to protect the baby turtles.”
In the recent times, sea erosion has led to many turtles’ nests being damaged. Predators like dogs, jackals and birds have taken their toll on the nesting of turtles. Mechanised trawlers along the coast also play a role in the massacre of thousands of these omnivorous sea turtles.
“We have removed all the boats from the sea near the nesting site for the smooth journey of turtles from their nests to the sea,” Biswal added.
“Like tigers and elephants, the Olive Ridley turtle is protected under Schedule I of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. They should be protected at any cost,” Biswajit Mohanty, coordinator of the turtle conservation group Operation Kachhapa, told IANS.

Bread producers need stronger gluten flours, said Dr. Jackie Rudd, Experiment Station state wheat breeder in Amarillo. Gluten is the protein in wheat that allows bread to expand and hold the shape.
At a meeting of the Wheat Quality Council, Hayden Wands, director of procurement for Sara Lee Corp. said flours with a stronger gluten are needed for breads to ensure they will not squash during stacking on the grocery shelves, Rudd said.
Wands also talked about the many new bread products the company offers with ingredients such as blueberries, which further accentuate the need for stronger flours, Rudd said.
In recent tests across the state, Experiment Station wheats have ranked among the top performers when tested for protein content (gluten), seed size and test weight (milling attributes), dough strength (baking), and disease resistance and yields, he said.
In addition, Texas Cooperative Extension wheat variety trials across the state have as many as five Texas A&M University system wheats ranked in the top 10. For complete results of the variety trials, go to http://amarillo.tamu.edu/programs/agronomy/ .
Rodney Mosier, Texas Wheat Producers Board executive vice president, said the board's priorities for their research dollars used to be focused mainly on developing wheats that were higher yielding, drought-tolerant varieties. These wheats had average baking qualities and disease resistance.
In recent years, the board's priorities have changed, Mosier said. Funding now includes a priority for higher milling and baking qualities with improved disease and insect resistance.
"The board has been very pleased with the funding it has provided for ongoing research with Texas A&M, which has provided excellent results," he said. "Just this past year, the Wheat Quality Council recognized Texas A&M for producing wheats with excellence in milling and baking qualities."
These wheat lines are now being marketed to producers, Rudd said.
Newly released are TAM 304, a good disease resistant irrigated variety has been licensed to Scott Seed Co. of Hereford; and TAM 203, showing disease resistance and excellence statewide, has been licensed to AgriPro Wheat in Vernon, he said.
The Experiment Station has had two other recent releases that are topping experiment trial data, Rudd said. TAM 111, the leading grown variety in the High Plains for both dryland and irrigated wheat, is licensed to AgriPro; and TAM 112, with excellent dryland yields and greenbug resistance, is licensed to Watley Seed Co. of Spearman.
Experiment Station wheat varieties have long been known for excellence in dryland yields, he said. However, in the past five or six years, a concentrated effort of increased testing and quality monitoring by Dr. Lloyd Rooney at the Wheat Quality Lab in College Station has improved the baking and milling quality.
"Our reputation for good dryland yields has been maintained, but now we are recognized for excellent bread-baking quality," Rudd said.
That doesn't mean the producer's needs for high yields, disease resistance and pest resistance are taking a back seat, though, he said.
Rudd said the newest Texas varieties were discussed at this year's field day for Great Plains wheat breeders in Fort Collins as being the best in leaf rust and stripe rust resistance.
That is due in part, he said, to the dedicated work of Dr. Ravindra Devkota, a research scientist from Bushland, who has spent significant time making wheat selections in South Texas where these rusts start.
"That's why our material is not just good across the High Plains, but also the rest of the state," Rudd said. "Texas A&M varieties are grown on more than 50 percent of the High Plains, but much less in the rest of the state."
With the increased disease resistance, though, that figure will go up, he said, because the new experimental lines in the breeding plots are looking even better than what is now in the field.
"We have more good material than we can put into the marketplace," Rudd said. "It's an excellent problem to have. It's been nice to be able to discard some lines that are better than wheat we currently have, because we know what we have in the pipeline is even better.
"We hope this will lead to increased exports for Texas wheat," he said. "The idea is that importers of U.S. wheat will select Texas wheat based on quality rather than cheap price. The U.S. has consistently been the least-cost provider of wheat, but we want Texas wheats to be sought out for their milling and baking quality."

This is the S4, a precursor to the production prototype aircraft that Joby Aviation plans to manufacture here ahead of its plan to begin flying passengers in 2024 under the promised advanced air mobility revolution. This eVTOL, electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, was flown unoccupied and controlled from a platform where pilots monitored computer screens, but Joby knows it will need to put a pilot aboard to earn full FAA certification.
The company hosted about 150 guests Thursday, including analysts, investors and a few journalists including me, to explain its production processes and give us this remotely piloted demonstration.
The S4 passed near us five times, twice by itself and three times with the other aircraft. While noise from the S4 was audible from the ground as it flew around 500 feet in altitude, it was noticeably quieter than the helicopter and small plane. The Joby craft reached a maximum altitude of 1,000 feet during the test flight and hit a top speed of 185 kilometers per hour.
Regarding production, the big message was that Joby plans to keep most equipment and systems manufacturing in-house through vertical integration.
“We’re building a new generation of aviation company, and it will be similar to what Tesla did when they built their technology stack and retained vertical integration, and all that has meant for electric vehicles,” founder and CEO JoeBen Bevirt told us in an outdoor presentation after the S4 landed. “This is what SpaceX has done in the space industry by integrating the design, the manufacturing and the testing in a tight loop.”
Bevirt said vertical integration means Joby can “do things that are really transformational, move faster and accelerate the process.”
Joby’s presence is spread among eight buildings here at the Marina airport, including a large hangar and a domed tentlike structure where coatings and adhesives are applied to carbon fiber composite structures.
In the composite manufacturing facility, employees monitored towering, whining robotic machines as they built large, black sections of the airframe.
In the next room, another robotic unit scanned a piece of airframe via ultrasound, while a technician inspected yet another piece by aiming colored light beams at it with a handheld laser measuring tool.
Ten employees from Joby’s largest investor, Toyota, are embedded in the production crews, said Jamie Clark, general manager of flying mobility for Toyota Motor North America. The automaker announced a $394 million investment in Joby in 2020.
“Toyota is transforming into a mobility company, rather than simply producing vehicles,” Clark told us on the production floor.
He added: “We bring our expertise in process and production, but we also learn from Joby about agility and thinking outside the box.”
Joby is pursuing FAA type certification for its aircraft, which the company believes it will receive by 2024 for a piloted craft with four passenger seats. So far it has received its Part 135 Air Carrier Certificate and is certified by the military to conduct research flights for the U.S. Air Force Agility Prime program.
While Joby’s primary initial goal is passenger service, cargo and other types of delivery may happen later. “We think logistics is a piece that can be tacked on,” said Paul Sciarra, executive chairman of the company’s board of directors. “Think of Uber taking advantage of its fleet of vehicles and basically layering on UberEats.”
Sciarra and Bevirt said the company hasn’t ruled out autonomous, or remotely piloted, passenger service, but they believe the fastest way to commercial operations is with a pilot. Bevirt said some level of unpiloted flight would come in a second phase of operations.
We were also shown around by Joby’s lead for powertrain and electronics, Jon Wagner, who came to Joby in 2017 from Tesla, where he was senior director for battery engineering.
“We knew from an early stage at Joby that we weren’t going to just remove an engine, remove a fuel tank, replace them with the battery pack and electric motor and call it a great airplane,” Wagner told us. “And so, we decided to invest in developing the core technologies in a variety of areas that allow us to design the components that are going to work best to make an electric aircraft.”
He continued: “We also found the advantages of integration, where we’re not playing one supplier off of another and trying to draw a line between them. We own both sides, and we can blur the lines and integrate those parts in a much more efficient way, driving down weight and complexity.”

|Dell W1900 LCD HDTV|

Since this monitor can function as a computer screen, I took a feed from my Compaq PC laptop and connected it to the VGA input on the TV. My laptop already has widescreen aspect ratio, so seeing the screen on the TV was not a shocker, but for those of you who are used to a regular square CRT monitor, the widescreen look of your computer desktop is a cool change, giving you enough space to put two full websites side by side. It worked quite well as a computer monitor, except for one little hiccup that I will tell you about next.
My biggest knock on this TV is that the VGA and DVI input cannot be connected at the same time. If you have a computer plugged into the VGA connector and a satellite receiver or a DVD player plugged into the DVI connector at the same time, the TV doesn’t like this and neither item will work until you unplug one or the other. This leads me to believe the two inputs share some internal components, which would make sense, as the two inputs are side by side on the bottom of the TV. The instruction manual alludes more to people using that input for connecting their computer, rather than as part of a home theater set-up. However, the entire reason I put this TV in my system was the fact that it was one of the few 19-inch LCD TVs with a tuner and speakers I found that actually had a DVI input. With the satellite receiver hooked up to the DVI input, I am now not able to use it with my laptop computer as a monitor unless I unhook the DVI cable. If you have your computer hooked up via DVI or VGA, you can use the picture in picture to watch any of the other inputs simultaneously while on the computer, but it’s a shame the DVI and VGA inputs can’t operate independently of each other at the same time.
Powering up the TV takes a few seconds and, although this is not anything close to the nearly one full minute that my JVC rear projection TV takes, it is a little annoying to have to wait for the picture to come on. I found this to be most troublesome when a friend of mine would yell, “Hey did you see that punch?” during a boxing match while I was in the kitchen and I’d rush to turn the set on to catch the instant replay. Of course, the pause button on a DVR can solve this problem, but you’ll want to be aware that it takes a little time for the picture to show up when turning on the set.
The menus of the TV, although clean and well laid-out, can be a little difficult to navigate. It’s not always obvious which icon gets you back to the previous level and it is different on several of the sub-menus. Also, when you accidentally hit the button to scan the inputs, there can be a long delay as the TV looks for new components, even if you haven’t attached anything new to the TV since the last scan. The nice thing about this feature is that it grays out the ones that aren’t in use on the menu onscreen, but you’ll want to be sure you don’t accidentally hit this button on the remote or the side of the TV.
Looking into the future, having only a DVI input may cause problems for those who want to use this set as their HDTV monitor, with devices like HD-DVD and or Blu-ray that are HDCP-compliant. Early reports show many DVI-based products struggle to make the needed “handshake” to connect high-resolution HDTV signals from their source to the monitor. If you are just watching “The Price is Right” in standard definition, this is of no interest. If you are worried about this set being the cornerstone of your HDTV theater, you might look for one that has an HDMI input, which is guaranteed to work with the HDCP copy protection.
Small LCD TVs are rarely used as a primary viewing display. They are usually used in situations like mine, where they are just there to have a small TV in the kitchen to watch while you’re cooking or in an office to listen to a sporting event while working on something else. This being said, the W1900 is a much better performer in this category than I would have expected. It’s not a perfect set, but I can’t think of a better $600 flat panel TV. Sure, you can get a much larger CRT HD set for about $200 more, but much of what you are getting with this Dell is great performance in a small package.
