Additionally, the aforementioned Queens store will cater to the large Chinese community in nearby Flushing, New York. Spearheaded by Senior VP of Retail Angela Ahrendts, Apple is moving quickly into China with several new store openings and by recruiting U.S.-based employees to relocate to the region. In other Apple Store news, Apple today announced that February 7th will see the opening of yet another China-based store: the Tianjin City location.

The store is under construction and is expected to open later in 2015, but an official announcement may come sooner… One source says this store will be the largest Apple retail outlet located in a New York mall to date, and Apple is expecting revenues for this store to even beat out some of its flagship counterparts located elsewhere in the state. The first Apple Store for Queens will be located in the Queens Center Mall on the second floor. Apple is developing the first stores for the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn, while a new store for the Upper East Side of Manhattan on 74th Street and Madison is also in development, according to sources. Apple is preparing three major new Apple Stores for New York, with two of the stores reaching major new markets for the first time. ![]() ![]() With that out of the way, roller shades offer a maximum of four opacity levels: blackout, room darkening, sheer filtering, and light filtering.

We normally only ride to Pig face hill on our bike rides, but when we got there Dad said that we had to keep going as this was a replacement for our walk. ![]() We visited Oma T for coffee and then stopped in on Paddy and Iris in North Haven before heading home. Among the boats we saw dolphins, pelicans and shags. We had our picnic lunch by the marina at North Haven (much easier to carry our lunch in bike panniers rather than using backpacks on our bush walks). From here the path follows Lady Gowrie Drive past my old high school and into the up-market suburb of North Haven. We had a routine stop on “Pig face hill” (the top of Strathfield Tce.). We took a photo of the one that described the old boat that was used in 1880 as a floating prison for delinquent boys as a friend of ours wrote a book about it. We cruised past Largs kiosk (a usual stopping place) and stopped briefly to look at some of the information poles that are interspersed along the bike path.

The path was very simple, we headed from our place down Hart street to the bike track on the Esplanade foreshore and headed North towards Outer Harbour. Instead of a Sunday walk this week to get our dose of 'serenity' we did a very pleasant 20 km bike ride from Semaphore to North Haven.

![]() ![]() Petty, who was approaching both his mid-forties and a divorce, offers little hollow bravado on this front. It also stands as something of a classic of the midlife crisis genre. He recorded Petty (and, to all intents and purposes, the Heartbreakers) live in the studio, and Wildflowers sounds it. Wildflowers was produced by Rick Rubin, who – though he later acknowledged admiring Full Moon Fever to the point of obsession – seemed to get that Petty’s rough edges were his most appealing traits. Petty’s previous solo album, 1989’s Full Moon Fever, had seen production substantially handled by ELO’s Jeff Lynne, one of a procession of relatively genteel British foils – Dave Stewart, George Harrison et al – Petty sought throughout his career, in the manner of an anxious colonial worried that his rough edges would be frowned upon by the aristocracy. On its own merits, the 15-track version of Wildflowers holds up well. It may have been the heedless profligacy often witnessed in people who know they have tapped a rich seam, but a lot of extraordinary material was left lying about. What the 25-track edition makes thrillingly and bafflingly clear, however, is that it was less than it might have been. Give or take the saxophone section and pedal steel on “House In The Woods”, a few guest sessioneers and a couple of celebrity cameos ( Ringo Starr plays drums on “To Find A Friend”, Carl Wilson sings along on “Honey Bee”), Wildflowers is a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album in all but name.īy that exacting standard, Wildflowers is a very good Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album. All of the Heartbreakers appear thoughout, aside from recently departed drummer Stan Lynch, replaced by Steve Ferrone, who would be formally inducted into the group in short order. Wildflowers was billed as a solo album, but this seemed a hair-splitting distinction. The entry-level version of this reissue is that aborted 25-track double, scaling up to a 5CD Super-Deluxe edition that includes the extended Wildflowers plus contemporary studio outtakes, home demos, alternative studio cuts and live recordings, some of them previously unreleased. Wildflowers, similarly, was originally sketched as a 25-song double album, before being trimmed, at the suggestion of a nervous record label, to a nevertheless generous 15. The finished product was certainly far from bad, but it was nevertheless also a stretch from where Petty had once envisioned it taking him, and his listeners. A decade or so earlier, Petty had set about Southern Accents, intended as a double-album state of the nation address surveying the Deep South, commemorating its music and contemplating its contradictions. Wildflowers was not the first Tom Petty album to have had its initial ambitions thwarted somewhat between conception and release. ![]() |
