If you can show that its a common fault and affects other sets then you may be able to claim under the oct 2015 European consumer regs. Contact Citizens advice for more info.
I had Samsung contact me via Facebook messenger after I posted a complaint about this issue on their FB page.
It seemed promising, that for a moment someone was listening.
"We'd recommend getting in touch with your local Support Centre to arrange a repair: http://spr.ly/6180DP35j ^TR"
A repair I'll be charged for? I asked. This is not acceptable.
"Sorry to hear you feel this way. However, repairs outside the warranty will be chargeable. You can arrange this with the Support Centre closest via the link we sent earlier. ^AM"
Samsung have sold us a product that, due to poor manufacturing and QA testing, has broken after a mere 2 years, and then wants to charge us, the consumer, to fix a fault that is due to their poor product.
Too many of us are having this issue and it cannot be legal, at the very least immoral.
Next step, Citizen's Advice unfortunately. What is to stop electronics manufacturers deliberately selling time-limited products and charging extortionate repair prices to fix them later?
I have decided to take them to the small claims court as I have got no where with them. If there is anybody else in Ireland that is willing to do the same thing? I have sent my complaint already to the Courts Service Online.
I am not giving up and going out and purchasing a new TV. I want a full refund at this stage and If ive to fight them in Court, thats what Im willing to do.
Samsung support have decided to get patronising, explaining why the consumer rights act doesn't apply to them as it is between retailer and consumer, and stating that their warranty stands and any repairs outside will be chargeable.
For the odd problem this may be understandable, but this is a recurring fault across their TVs after only 2 years due to their poor design.
It's disgusting. Never buying Samsung again and will be mentioning this on social media and various forums, product review sites and online stores.
You can't be selling televisions that only last 2 years! It's a disgrace.
Maybe we can all use this thread to prove that it's not a random malfunction issue but rather a flawed design with poorly made panels. If not a "scheduled" expiring product.
Unfortunately the 2015 European consumer regs are clear in that you can only take your retailer to court.
So you take up the issue with your retailer and as you show this is a defect then that may force the retailer to solve this. If not it would be taking the retailer to court not the manufacturer. I do find this odd and would have thought a better system would have been both should be responsible. You could also look at section 75 if the credit consumer act if you bought with your credit card.
There are no easy solutions here. The only way is to prove that this was a design flaw that Samsung was aware of and yet knowingly pushed these items to consumer. I think that Samsung knows about this, there are recurrent postins about this problem for the last 7 years, at least. I think that the failure rate is likely low, so Samsung has decided to "live" with it, knowing pretty well that it was going to lose a few customers. In the States, only a well-financed class action suit is likely to succeed. Otherwise, the only avenue is to vote with our wallets and not purchase any Samsung TVs ever, which is what I am doing. In addition, publicizing the problem as much as possible would likely force Samsung to take some action.
Of course. But the best way to achieve this is through some other web site that would publicize this issue effectivelly. I will provide the information to some sites that monitor audio-visual products and services. Maybe they would give it prominense.
It seems this problem has been going on for quite some time, and Samsung are content to just keep pumping out TVs that won't last because it's left to the retailers to deal with rather than the manufacturer.
It is a joke. Just don't buy Samsung.
I discovered the same problem on my tv last week. Emailed Samsung got acknowlegment but no advice resent again today. I purchased my tv at the end of November 2014. Approached retailer with no joy. Will wait for a response from Samsung for a few more days. I sent photos of the test screen with the email. Have to go through the hoops.

Star Wars Weekends: A Disney Jedi's Dream!
There has recently been much talk about Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, and of the Star Wars franchise that goes with it. However, Disney's affiliation with Star Wars in fact began years ago.
Star Tours was the first Disney attraction inspired by a non-Disney film. The first Star Tours ride opened at Disneyland in January of 1987. Its success resulted in a version at the then Disney-MGM Studios just 2 years later, in December of 1989. There are also versions of the ride at Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland. An updated version named Star Tours: The Adventure Continues opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland in the spring of 2010, and is scheduled to open in Tokyo Disneyland in 2013.
The first Star Wars Weekends festival was held at the then Disney-MGM Studios in 1997. It has since been held in 2000 and 2001. The festival began its annual appearance in 2003.
The Star Wars Weekends are popular with crossover fans of Disney and Star Wars. They feature appearances by celebrities of the Star Wars franchise, parades, and Hyperspace Hoopla! (a music, comedy, and dance show featuring Star Wars characters).
Although these weekends can be crowded, careful planning can result in a fun time for all involved.
Dates have recently been released for the 2013 Star Wars Weekends. The 2013 festival will take place at Disney's Hollywood Studios every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from May 17-June 9, 2013.

LUNGDON by Edward Carey will be published by Hot Key Books on 11 August 2016. LUNGDON is the gloriously ghastly climax to Carey’s gothic IREMONGER TRILOGY. The first book of the trilogy, HEAP HOUSE, was a Kirkus Reviews ‘Best Teen Book of 2014’ and a New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice.
The Iremongers are a sinister family dynasty who have made a fortune from a city’s junk. Now they are at large in London, the ruins of Foulsham left burning behind them. They need a new home and they intend to find one. Londoners are beginning to notice bizarre happenings in their city – loved ones disappearing, strange objects appearing and a creeping darkness that seems to swallow up the daylight. The Police have summoned help, but is their cure more deadly than the feared Iremongers? What role will our hero Clod play: returning son or rebel? What of the flame-haired orphan Lucy Pennant? And where are all the rats coming from…?
The Iremonger trilogy is published in thirteen countries. Edward Carey has recently visited the Auckland Festival in New Zealand and toured Italy to talk about his acclaimed trilogy. In Italy he has also had exhibitions of the Iremonger characters and at the Milanesiana Festival he was awarded the Fernanda Pivano Prize, previously won by Joyce Carol Oates, Michael Cunningham, and Michael Chabon, among others. See some images here.
‘IREMONGER torques and tempers our memories of Dickensian London into a singularly jaunty and creepy tale of agreeable misfits. Read it by gas lamp, with a glass of absinthe at your wrist and a fireplace poker by your knee.’ – Gregory Maguire, author of WICKED.
‘Channels Dickens crossed with Lemony Snicket... a Gothic tale in turns witty, sweet, thoughtful and thrilling—but always off-kilter—and penned with gorgeous, loopy prose. Suspense and horror gradually accumulate into an avalanche of a climax… magnificently creepy.’ —Kirkus Reviews.
Edward is a novelist, visual artist and playwright. His debut novel OBSERVATORY MANSIONS (with his illustrations) is sold in 14 countries and was described by John Fowles as 'proving the potential brilliance of the novel form'. Born in England, he teaches at the University of Austin, Texas.

The Iremongers are let loose in the States today as HEAP HOUSE, the first book in Edward Carey’s acclaimed IREMONGER trilogy, is published in the US by Overlook. It will be published in beautiful hardback with illustrations by the author himself.
Kirkus called HEAP HOUSE ‘a gothic tale in turns witty, sweet, thoughtful and thrilling—but always off-kilter—and penned with gorgeous, loopy prose just this side of precious… magnificently creepy’, and Publisher’s Weekly gave it a starred review, writing ‘Full of strange magic, sly humor, and odd, melancholy characters, this trilogy opener, peppered with portraits illustrated by Carey in a style reminiscent of Peake’s own, should appeal to ambitious readers seeking richly imagined and more-than-a-little-sinister fantasy.’, and included it in their Best Indie Books Fall 2014 picks. It has also been listed by Indie Sleepers on their “Big Books From Small Presses 2014” list.
In the UK, HEAP HOUSE was recommended on the Booktrust Christmas Gifts for Children List 2013 and listed by The Sunday Times as one of the Top Children’s Books of 2013.

The paperback is currently available.
Rights to HEAP HOUSE have been sold in 9 territories, including HarperCollins in Canada who published in March. In the UK, Hot Key have just published the second in the trilogy, FOULSHAM.

Is My Loved One Using Heroin?
If you’ve recently become aware that a loved one is using heroin, or suspect they might be, it’s time to take action. It only takes using heroin one time for some people to become addicted. And like all other addictions, early detection and intervention is always the best strategy.
Heroin is an opioid drug made from morphine, a natural substance taken from the seed pod of the various opium poppy plants. It can be a white or brown powder, or a black sticky substance known as black tar heroin.
Loved ones addicted to heroin will likely do their best to hide the habit from you. It’s important that you know what to look for when trying to identify a problem.
Paraphernalia. If a loved one uses heroin on a regular basis, he will have his own supplies. That could include a little bowl to dissolve the heroin in, needles, lighters, spoons, belts, rubber ties, pipes or foil. Search everywhere. You might be surprised how easily these things can be hidden.
New Friends. If your loved one suddenly starts hanging out with a whole new group (especially if she has no obvious ties with them) that’s one of the earliest signs of drug use.
Lack of Interest. Keep an eye out for a loss of interest in favorite hobbies or activities. Grades that have dropped or poor work performance can go hand-in-hand with heroin use as well.
Trance-Like State. If your loved one is having a hard time staying focused and looks like they’re falling asleep, that’s a classic sign of opiate use. When heroin enters the brain, users feel a strong euphoria, followed by a trance-like state.
Track Marks. These are often found on the inside of the elbow, on the wrist, on the back of the hand, behind the knees or even between toes. Keep an eye out for long-sleeved shirts and other attempts to hide such marks.
Change in Personality. Heroin is the only thing that matters in an addict’s life. Family commitments and other people’s problems will be ignored, and lying to protect drug use will be normal.
Legal Issues. Theft or other crimes, resulting in legal issues, is common among addicts. They might steal money from your purse, steal your jewelry or take your credit cards.
Heroin is a highly-addictive drug. People who regularly use heroin can quickly develop a tolerance (meaning they’ll need higher and more frequent doses of the drug to get the effects they’re looking for). This puts them at increased risk for an overdose.
When people overdose on heroin, their breathing often slows or even stops, potentially decreasing the amount of oxygen reaching the brain (a condition called hypoxia). This can have short- and long-term mental effects and effects on the nervous system, including coma and permanent brain damage.
Heroin deaths are on the rise and many victims are first-time users. Knowing how to handle an overdose can save someone’s life. A person who has overdosed on heroin can be unconscious, extremely drowsy, delirious or disoriented. They could have very small pupils, a dry mouth, discolored tongue and uncontrollable muscle movements. They may have a bluish tint to their lips, nails or skin and may be breathing shallowly or not at all. Call 911 immediately if you see any of these symptoms in your loved one.
If you think a loved one might be using heroin, get them the help they need. Dealing with a drug-addiction is not something you can do on your own—it’s a disease that needs to be treated. Our certified counselors will work with your loved one to help them choose the best program for their unique needs. Facing addiction alone can be overwhelming. We’re here to help. Fill out this form or call us today at (661) 630-4176.

Class A fires involve solid materials like wood, paper or textiles and Class B fires are those with flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel or oils.
Resendes says the product behaves as water when it is sprayed, but resembles a thick slime when it lands. That means it has the ability to stick to any surface – including floors, walls and furniture. The product suppresses fire, and by coating surfaces, it prevents them from igniting or re-igniting.
“We’ve been able to achieve all of this with a material that is derived from food, that is safe enough to eat, that draws on raw materials that are grown in farmers’ fields across the country,” says Resendes.
Depending on the class of fire, Eco-Gel is introduced into a water stream at concentrations ranging from two to five per cent by volume. And, once a fire is extinguished, the residual gel can be easily washed away with water.
Resendes notes the company has seen success working with fire stations and industrial clients across Canada that are drawn by Eco-Gel’s environmental and human safety aspects of the technology. The product is the world’s first and only hydrogel of its kind, certified through the USDA’s BioPreferred Program and made from food grade material.
Eco-Gel is manufactured in Belleville Ontario. It can be applied with standard proportioning equipment.

Glue sticks are used with a glue gun, this application is typically used for bonding and fixing porous and permeable substrates with materials such as rubber, ceramic, metal, plastic, fabric, paper, cardboard, glass, polystyrene and wood. A gluestick can also be used in different domestic or commercial industries, applied to materials such as corrugated packaging, product assemble and laminating. Electronic device manufacturers also use glue sticks in their glue guns for assembling and fixing parts and components together.
How long is a Glue Stick?
A glue sticks length will vary in size, depending on your choice of product. Our range offers glue sticks that are 43mm in length to 300mm. The diameter will also vary, our range features a diameter of 11mm to 43mm, with many different sizes being added to the range regularly. The average pack will contain 16 sticks or slugs, but we have a variation of pack quantities available.
A glue stick is assorted into two different types. The first type being Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), which is a Polymer adhesive. The second being Polyolefin or Metallocene, which are considered single polymer adhesives. Our range of glues feature flame retardant pack types, low viscosity types and types that are non-toxic.

Although you may be incomplete in a panic mode, in the beginning, do not depression. In an only some simple steps, it is viable to recover this essential records.
To begin with, one should try to discern out why the system crashed within the first region. This may have been because of one among a number of motives, possibly a horrific hard disk, a burnt out RAM card or possibly corrupt or damaged software program.
If your Mac seems to have crashed due to a hardware fault other than the difficult disk, the answer is pretty easy. Remove the difficult disk from the malfunctioning Mac and connect it to any other functioning Mac as an outside disc and recover your facts in that manner. The most effective element to do.
If your system has fallen sufferer to difficult disk failure, the scenario will no longer be so easy to remedy. One could attempt detaching the terrible difficult disk and changing it with an excellent one to start up the Mac as typical. By connecting the defective tough disk to the external drive you may attempt to copy the records using a records imaging software.
Even when your awesome Mac is functioning at its fine, you may virtually accidentally delete a critical report or two out of your laptop. In this situation, no one can successfully restore this missing records or fix corrupted files you may need to apply for the proper facts recuperation software program. There are many effective commercial applications in the marketplace that will help you do that.

When you’re using a Macintosh and want to run Windows programs, what is the excellent way to run Windows 7 on Mac? What are the troubles for which you need to put together? How do you convert documents between Windows and Mac? How do you assign difficult disk area? How do you change the allocation after installation if needed? Here choices that work high-quality.
Some of the Windows programs I wished could no longer run in virtualization mode. VirtualBox, a free emulator using Oracle is pretty true, however, I needed the real installation of Windows 7 on the hard drive of the Macintosh.
Bootcamp is protected with the running gadget inside the utility folder, and the system for putting in is easy. You need a Windows DVD installation disk. A fundamental or manufacturer’s installation disk is best. Next, print out the Bootcamp instructions and partition your hard drive to make the area for Windows. Bootcamp will reformat the partitions for your current tough force with no lack of information. To minimize the danger of irregularities at some point of this method it is a superb idea to run a couple of preservation utilities. I used Cocktail to clean caches, run preservation scripts and repair permissions. Then I ran Disk Warrior to rebuild the present listing at the tough power to make certain it became in pristine, best circumstance with 0 mistakes previous to the proceeding. The listing file structure is a map of all of the documents on the hard drive. These are elective safeguards. At the minimum, restart the Mac shift key pressed to start up in secure mode and test the system files. Then restart and use Disk Utility to affirm the disk shape for safety.

The bomb used by the Saudi-led coalition in an attack on a school bus that killed 40 children in Yemen last week was sold as part of a US State Department-sanctioned arms deal with Saudi Arabia, munitions experts told CNN.
Working with Yemeni journalists and munitions experts, CNN reported late Friday that the weapon that hit the bus on 9 August was a 500-pound (227kg) laser-guided MK 82 bomb made by Lockheed Martin, one of the top US defense contractors.
Of the 51 people who died in the air strike, 40 were children, the Houthi health ministry said last week, adding that of the 79 people wounded, 56 were children.
The bomb is similar to one used in an attack on a funeral hall in Yemen in October 2016 in which 155 people were killed and hundreds more wounded, CNN said. The Saudi coalition blamed “incorrect information” for that strike.
After the funeral hall attack, president Barack Obama banned the sale of precision-guided military technology to Saudi Arabia over “human rights concerns,” CNN said, adding that the ban was overturned by the Trump administration’s then secretary of state Rex Tillerson in March 2017.
The US says it does not make targeting decisions for the coalition, which is fighting a Houthi rebel insurgency in Yemen, according to CNN, but it does support its operations through billions of dollars in arms sales, the refueling of Saudi combat aircraft and some sharing of intelligence.
The day of the air strike, the US State Department called for the Saudi-led coalition to investigate it.
“We are certainly concerned about the reports that there was an attack that resulted in the deaths of civilians. We call on the Saudi-led coalition to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told a news briefing.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the air strike and called for an “independent and prompt investigation”.
On 13 August, thousands of Yemenis protested against Riyadh and Washington as they took part in a mass funeral for the children killed in the strike.
Many of the children were on a field trip after graduating from summer school, according to a CNN report and video showing the students playing before the attack.
The mass funeral was held in the Houthi stronghold of Saada city, with images broadcast by the rebels’ Al-Masirah television.
Mourners shouted slogans against Saudi Arabia and its ally and key arms supplier, the US. “America kills Yemeni children,” read several banners.

The majority of numbers utilizing the 01909 area code are regular Worksop landlines, however it should be noted that this might be misleading. Many businesses don’t provide a service that is connected or requires a physical address, but if they have a phone number, they have an area code.

The new trailer for Real Steel, the robot boxing film starring Hugh Jackman, tells us a different side to the film, one that's about the father and son relationship and a lot less about the robot boxing side. It also gives us a little taste of the robot they find to fight in the ring, and we discover that to begin with it's the son who finds and prepares the robot for the ring.
With the ex-boxer turned robot boxing promoter having realised that he has a son and that his dreams of winning with robots in the ring have been quashed, he decides to invest time in this robot for his kid, and the surprise is that it starts to win.
I like the fact that there's a strong relationship in the core of this film, and that it would seem that the father hasn't his heart in the ring with the robot, just that he's doing it for his kid, until it starts winning that is, but right now it's feeling like two different stories.
I am really curious to see how the two come together on screen and work out in film, but for now, in this new trailer, they look pretty good, and with Hugh Jackman leading there's an obvious reason to like it straight up.
Here's the new trailer for Real Steel which you can see in Quicktime high definition over at Yahoo.

Interaction Design concerns the interaction between people and products in which information technology is a central component. The interaction designer designs behaviors – of products, users and systems. Thus, interaction design is an essential part of any computer supported system or item; from social media sites, to games, to user interfaces in cars, computers or smart phones. It can be found in as diverse products as robots, GPSes, cameras, or systems for running nuclear plants or flight control. Overall, it is no longer enough to build a system, product or application that is only functional or efficient; there is an increasing demand for products that are not only efficient but also have other values, such as being pleasurable to handle and use or even fun or intriguing.
As a consequence, interaction designers can and should be involved in all parts of the design process. Firstly, in pre-analysis: what is to be designed, for whom, when where, and how does this affect the design? What kind of user experience is the goal, which functionalities are needed? Secondly, in ideation, i.e. in coming up with the actual product and its behaviors. Thirdly (and most definitely!) in the actual interaction design, e.g. detailing exactly what the product or system does, and how it does it, e.g. how does it respond to user interaction. Thirdly, interaction designers may also take part in actually coding the system, enabling it to interact with users and collect various types of data. Lastly, in evaluation of systems and products, both after and during the design process. The subject is highly interdisciplinary, meaning that all interaction designers have different specialties, depending on background and skills, and as a result there is a whole set of interaction design-oriented jobs on the market; see “And the what?” below.
Interaction Design & Technologies is a two-year master at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. The programme is intended for anyone with a keen interest in the interaction between humans and digital artifacts, and how to design it. This means that the programme attracts students from different educational backgrounds – e.g. psychology and cognitive science; computer science and information technology; and design disciplines such as industrial design, product design, media or architecture. All students must have some basic knowledge in Human-Computer Interaction and programming.
Every year we admit ca 50 students, of which circa a third are international students.
Does this sound like something for you? Read Chalmers’ own detailed description of the programme and find out the details on how and when to apply, entry requirements etc.
The programme was started in 2001, meaning we have already educated some 700+ interaction designers. Some of our alumni work at IT-dense companies (e.g. Spotify, Microsoft, Google, Ericsson, Volvo, Telia, IKEA). Others work as consultants at for example Cybercom, Sogeti, Semcon, HiQ and UseIt. Yet others work in the game industry (e.g. at King, Square Enix, Palringo, Ghost Games, Zionk Games). Some even go into academia!
They have positions like: Interaction Designer; UX Designer; Usability Expert; Software Developer; Game Producer; Solution Integrator; Senior Application Developer; Marketing and Communications Manager; Gameplay Engineer; Test Coordinator; UI & UX Engineer; Web Designer; Solutions Provider; Storyteller; Product Owner; Game Programmer; and Technical Evangelist.

Most well known for her poem on anxiety entitled "Friends with Benefits," Jae Nichelle is a young poet and spoken word artist currently residing in Atlanta. She has been told that her poetry persona comes off as a mix of eccentric and mysterious, but in real life she is your lovable, awkward Black girl who is thinking about where her next sweet potato will come from. Jae started writing because her notebook was the only thing that would listen to her, and she continues to write to validate everyone who has ever felt the same. A recent graduate of Tulane University, she was a member of the 2017 Team Slam New Orleans and the captain and founder of Tulane University’s Slam Poetry team: Rhyme Verses Rhythm which placed seventh at the 2018 College Unions Poetry Slam Invitational. She placed fourth at the 2017 Texas Grand Slam poetry slam, from which her work received national recognition, and first at the 2017 Women on the Bayou slam. Her written poetry has been featured in Vinyl, Blue Agave Literary Magazine, Freezeray Poetry, The Tulane Review, and Solstice Literary Magazine.
In her spare time, Jae also writes articles about linguistic and mental health issues that plague the Black community, and has had her work shared by Blavity, AFROPUNK, and Black Youth Project 100.
Jae began performing spoken word at Little Rock Central High School, an experience that enabled her to be one of the winners of the Youth Speaks’ 2014 contest entitled Raise Up and perform at Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center at just 17 years old. Jae gets her inspiration from everyone who told her that writing is “just a hobby” and she writes her best poems when she is supposed to be studying for her Master’s degree in Speech Pathology.

How long can we survive in a sealed enclosure?
The average concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is 21.0% by volume, but in polluted environments it may be lower. The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration has adopted a lower acceptable limit of oxygen in the workplace of 19.5%. At 12% a loss of consciousness is likely, although people with medical conditions may lose consciousness at 15% or even more.
Question: How long can 10 healthy adult people survive in a sealed room of dimensions 3m x 4m x 2.5m before they run out of oxygen (i.e. the oxygen concentration drops to 12%)? An adult of average weight consumes about 3.33 10-6 m3 s-1 of oxygen while at rest. The typical volume of an adult is 0.1 m3.
So the people are likely to have suffocated after 7.8 104 s or 21 hours and 47 min. In reality this period may be shorter, because people exert more energy and (demand more oxygen) when the CO2 content of the air increases, because they need to breathe more heavily. Also if there is any panic.

Choosing a neighborhood you live in is almost as important as the house you buy. The right neighborhood can make your house feel even more like a home. But how do you find the right neighborhood to shop for your next home?
The first step in finding the right neighborhood is to figure out what you’re really looking for. Do you crave a sense of community, or do you prefer not seeing any other houses when you open your front door? Knowing yourself is the key to identifying what kind of neighborhood you’ll be most happy in.
2. Are There Children In The Picture?
If you have kids now or are planning to have some in the future, that will impact your choice of neighborhoods. You’ll want your children to have neighborhood friends. You’ll also want to know your kids are safe playing outside. Look for neighborhoods where families reside. Ask your real estate agent about the quality of local schools.
3. Would You Prefer A Single Family Home Or A Townhouse?
Different neighborhoods have different housing types. You can often do a process of elimination by pre-determining what kind of home you’re looking for. This is something that your real estate agent can do for you.
4. What Will Your Commute Look Like?
You’ll be going to work everyday. That will significantly impact your daily lifestyle. Pin your work address on a map. Then draw a ring around it that represents the distance you’re willing to commute. Neighborhoods within that circle will be candidates.
5. Are You Looking For Nightlife?
If you want to be able to walk out your door and land at a cafe, bookstore, shopping center, bar or someplace else, then your neighborhood will need to reflect that desire. Avoid buying in an area where everything is a 20-minute drive. Your real estate agent will be able to apprise you of neighborhood culture so you’ll have a better idea of where to buy.
Is your current neighborhood lacking something, such as bike trails, a park or community events? Seek these out when you go home shopping so your life feels more complete when you move.
These six tips will help you find the best neighborhood for the way you want to live. Remember, your real estate agent is knowledgeable about the various neighborhoods in their service area. Use your agent as a valuable resource while you search for that perfect home.

Oliver ongoing his profession as a extremely effective jockey, but then tragedy struck again. In 2005, throughout a race at Moonee Valley, he fell and was still left with two fractured vertebrae, which kept him out of racing for a year. He was extremely fortunate not to have damaged his spinal twine, which could have confined him to a wheelchair for lifestyle. Numerous jockeys with Oliver’s accidents would have taken the chance to retire. Instead he worked via a year of unpleasant rehabilitation, and returned to the track in 2006 to come second in the Melbourne Cup that year.

Back in the days when I was a young 'un who naturally hated the sight of musicals, there were two that seemed to always count as exceptions to the rule: Paint Your Wagon and Oliver! Nowadays, I've seen a lot more and enjoyed a lot more but still hate the sight of most. Now TCM and the annoying Tom Kenny have given me a long overdue opportunity to revisit the film for the first time in probably 25 years. So what were my initial impressions?
The opening scenes in the workhouse remind very much of Pink Floyd's The Wall, which they probably seriously influenced. I'm thinking especially of the visuals but as the music continues that counts too. Roger Waters must have been paying a lot of attention indeed. It's overplayed for sure and very stagy, though it's equally sure that much of it was done for effect. I don't buy that it works entirely but it's consistent at least. I don't buy the genius of all the music (plenty, I'll admit, but not all) though the fact that I remember a surprising amount after a quarter of a century speaks volumes all on its own. For instance I could have done without Boy for Sale and Where is Love?, but Consider Yourself and You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two are pretty hard to beat.
What I didn't remember was the cast, though I'm not sure why. Maybe I just didn't have a clue who Sir Harry Secombe was, not that he was a Sir this far back when Highway was a decade and a half away and he was best known for his revolutionary work as one of the Goons. I wouldn't have seen Leonard Rossiter before either, though I must have found Reggie Perrin soon afterwards. I wouldn't have known Ron Moody for a long while, as I'm only recently finding him becoming a favourite, but I doubt I even knew Oliver Reed drank. That's how green I must have been.
Now I know all of these people and more, though it became very obvious very quickly that I don't know Jack Wild nearly well enough and his Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the Artful Dodger was well deserved, as his first couple of scenes merely served to show up everyone who had appeared up until then. I think the film only survives for the first half hour and change because Mark Lester as the title character manages to keep up with him. Wild gives the impression of being the most natural child actor since probably Jackie Coogan almost half a century earlier. I might allow Shirley Temple too but that's a stretch.
Ron Moody was also nominated as Best Actor but he lost to Cliff Robertson in Charly, another peach of a role. His Fagin has a lot of depth, though is less overtly Jewish than Alec Guinness's version back in 1948 (Reviewing the Situation notwithstanding), thus avoiding a lot of unfair criticism. He's dominant and to be honest, anyone who can take a role previously played by Alec Guinness and make it his own deserves any praise offered. That achievement in itself says more than an Oscar because there's an Oscar dished out every year and this was something that nobody else has ever managed to do.
Beyond the pair of them, people like Oliver Reed (the director's nephew) and Shani Wallis do solid work, but I can't help but feel that they suffer from the film being too long and inflated and the fact that there gave better performances elsewhere. Reed is good here but his Bill Sikes isn't a patch on Robert Newton's reading of it or even on his own performances in things like The Devils. Director Carol Reed did far better work elsewhere, notably on The Third Man but even on something like Our Man in Havana. His film doesn't stand up like it used to when I didn't know better. It's a good film, no mistake, but it's no Oscar winner to beat 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly or The Producers. At least not in the world I live in. Apparently the Academy live somewhere else.

Clear, calm, 50s - 70's.
This eight mile, scenic loop trail starts at Tumalo Falls, 14 miles southwest of Bend. The parking area was small and full when we arrived, but we found a spot along the road. From the number of cars coming and going, we got the impression that most of the people were there for the viewpoint accessible after a very short walk up to the Tumalo Falls scenic overlook.
The South Fork of this trail ascends at a constant but reasonable rate for the first half of the loop. After the first mile, we left the families with small children behind. Next to disappear were the couples with unleashed dogs. And finally, at about the four mile mark, we entered the Bridge Creek Watershed which is closed to bikes, dogs and horses. It is the main source of drinking water for the city of Bend. From that point on, we encountered neither man or nor beast.
There are so many gorgeous waterfalls on this hike that we actually lost count. Tumalo is the highest and most spectacular, but the others are worth the effort: Double Falls, Upper Falls, North Fork Falls and Spring Creek Falls, Bridge Creek, to name just a few. The trail footing was as good as it gets— wide, smooth, springy, and free of rocks, puddles or roots. We could almost imagine hiking this barefoot. There are many viewpoints (but no signs identifying the name of each waterfall) along the way. A number of other trails converge on sections of this hike— Windigo, Swampy Lakes, among others.
Bridge Creek, despite it’s name, had no bridge. A large tree across the water served the same purpose, and was easy to navigate once we go past the roots at one end.
Once we turned onto the North Fork portion of the loop, the trail descended along the north side of the draw, and the temperature dropped about 15 degrees. Here we encountered a few short stretches of snow and frozen mud. By the time we got back to the parking area, cars lined the road for quite a distance.
We weren’t as well-prepared as usual, with no printed maps or GPS maps downloaded ahead of time, but we had time to trek a good eight miles, celebrate two days of excellent hikes and pristine camping with a stop at 10 Barrel Brewing in Bend and then make the three-hour drive back home Sunday night. Check out the previous day’s hike to Gray Butte.

This week we’re proud to introduce Brassica and Brine! This raw vegan Los Angeles sauerkraut company has been making traditional Jewish recipes right here by founder Jordan “Uri” Laio. A Southern California native, Uri took his passion for environmental health, combined it with his family’s home recipes, and developed something truly special.
Laio’s farming roots go back over a decade. Passionate about environmental security and the organic food movement, a young Uri pursued volunteer experiences on organic farms. In 2008 Uri was in Connecticut, spending his days in service of the farm: milking the goats, harvesting vegetables, and brewing biodiesel. However, fermentation caught his fancy. Any free time he found was enjoyed by studying the skills of Master Pickler Josh Rosenstein. Although he did jump around to various other organic farms over the next year, the love of fermentation had settled, and the glimmer of what would become Brassica and Brine was born.
Uri selecting produce from a local farm.
During his travels, while living this all-natural farm life, occasionally Laio would pop into a commercial supermarket. What he saw there was a shock. The ingredients that filled the bottles on the shelves were so far from natural, they’d become unrecognizable. Increasingly distraught by the processed and chemical ridden stuff being sold as “food” in supermarkets (especially the “diet food” targeting those who need healthy food the most), he decided then that he had a role to play in the changing food market.
Try Uri’s beloved Classic recipe, on SALE this week!
By taking the skills he learned from Josh Rosenstein he created a line of super-powered sauerkraut, kimchi, and other pickled perfections in his spare time after his days with WWOOF farms was over. He realized that he was now helping the small farmer in a whole new way, creating foods that use their produce and make people happy and healthy!
Spice up your fridge with Uri’s bold Kimchi Karma.
Soon, his love for the law had given way to a passion for pickling… and after overwhelming demand from friends and family to buy his pickled products he knew something had to change.

Save 36% on your phone costs when you choose a Vonage business phone system or VoIP plan.1 Read our review to discover if Vonage is right for you and your business.
Vonage isn’t your ordinary telephone service. As an entirely cloud-native platform, Vonage business solutions include comprehensive communication platforms and tools to help small and medium-sized businesses optimize their workplace. What makes this household name stand out, however, is its plan flexibility.
Vonage offers two types of packages, Vonage Business Cloud and Vonage Enterprise. Each type of service has its own list of features and benefits, but no matter what you choose, Vonage’s VoIP solutions sync up with a number of popular applications. No matter your industry, such flexibility can be invaluable for a business, especially smaller ones.
Data effective 6/29/18. At publishing time, pricing and features are current but are subject to change. Offers may not be available in all areas.
Built for small businesses, Vonage Business Cloud runs on your high-speed internet and is managed from the Vonage Service Portal. This makes installation and maintenance easier and more affordable. For one to four lines, business owners can expect to pay $19.99 per user each month for the Mobile plan, $29.99 per user each month for the Premium plan, and $39.99 per user each month for the Advanced plan. The more lines you purchase, the less you pay for each line. As an added bonus, Vonage doesn’t require annual contracts, so you can cancel anytime if you’re not satisfied.
If your business has a limited number of employees, we recommend one of Vonage’s three business cloud packages.
Each plan comes with their own lists of features, but If you want to add more services to personalize your business needs, be prepared to pay a monthly fee. There are some industry-standard features you’ll have to pay extra for, including paperless fax, spam shield, call queue, toll-free numbers, virtual mailbox, and more.
In our opinion, the basic Mobile plan provides enough support for most businesses getting up and running.
For businesses that don’t require desk phones, we recommend Vonage’s simple and affordable Mobile plan. It’s great for small coffee shops, taco trucks, and even independent insurance agents because you can easily link your business phone number to your mobile device from any location—no additional hardware necessary.
As the best option for a traditional office—such as, say, a doctor’s office—Vonage’s premium plan allows teams to communicate seamlessly between all devices, including desk phones.
Do you need more features and a team of dedicated account managers to assist you with onboarding? Vonage’s advanced plan is your go-to choice. Its “Orange-Glove Setup” isn’t just a buzzworthy term. Vonage’s customer service and IT support offer 24/7 end-to-end management.
Enterprise plans, which are customizable, are built for companies with 100 or more users. Although we wish we could give you an exact quote, this information isn’t readily available on Vonage’s website—you’ll need to contact its team directly.
Similar to the Business plans, Vonage Enterprise plans offer add-on features, including Fax Mail, Call Center, AudioConnect, and VideoConnect.
Vonage’s enterprise plans are feature-heavy, game-changing VoIP solutions built for medium to enterprise-sized businesses. Vonage’s enterprise plans are ideal for companies with established call centers or those with 100 or more employees.
Contact Vonage directly to get a free, customized quote.
Before selecting a VoIP business plan, it’s important to get a comprehensive understanding of the commonly used terms. Here are a few you should know.
A PBX (Private Branch Exchange) system connects a business’s internal communications system with external communications. Back in the old days, calls were connected between subscribers by mechanically switching circuits. VoIP technology has brought us out of the telephone line Stone Age by making it possible to transfer calls as packets of data over an internet connection.
As a business owner, the last thing you want to do is change your phone number during a move. This not only confuses your customers but is also a pain in the you-know-what. Fortunately, number porting allows you to keep your existing number on your mobile device or landline.
BYOD (bring your own device) gives employees the freedom to use their own computers, smartphones, tablets, and USB drives in the workplace. This increasing trend maximizes benefits while minimizing risks. Keep in mind, however, BYOD may mean no tech support for your devices.
A useful aspect about older telephone lines is that 911 operators could trace the address. VoIP calls, however, can’t be traced by 911. We get it—going with a service that makes your address untraceable for emergency operators sounds risky, scary, and downright dumb. But don’t panic. During the initial setup process, you can simply enter your info and physical address through your VoIP system’s Enhanced 911 (E911) feature.
Still using a plain, old telephone service? It’s time to step into the 21st century and invest in a solid VoIP system, especially if your company has employees working remotely.
What alternatives to Vonage are there?
In our 13 best business VoIP providers review, we found a variety of plans and pricing, ranging from $20 a month per line for basic plans to $55 a month per line for more robust, hard-hitting plans.

In Part 1 of our NFP Reporting Model series, we discussed FASB's proposed ASU on the presentation ot financial statements of not-for-profit entities and how this proposal could change the current three classifications of net assets from three to two.
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued its proposed Accounting Standards Update on the presentation of financial statements of not-for-profit entities. Within the proposal, the FASB discusses the treatment of endowments without donor restrictions, commonly referred to as board-designated endowment or quasi-endowment fund. A board-designated endowment fund is created when a governing board designates or earmarks a portion of its net assets without donor restrictions to be invested, generally for a long but possibly unspecified period of time.
Under the proposed changes, a not-for-profit would report the original fund and all investment returns from a board-designated endowment within net assets on the statement of financial position within net assets WITHOUT donor restrictions, whereas current practice is to report those funds within unrestricted net assets. Conversely, endowment funds created with donor restrictions would be reported within net assets WITH donor restrictions as opposed to temporarily or permanently restricted net assets.
A not-for-profit would also be required to disclose the following information to enable users of financial statements to understand both types of endowments: a) net asset classification; b) net asset composition; c) changes in net asset composition; d) spending policies; and e) related investment policies. This proposed change would enhance disclosures on self-imposed limits including the amount, purpose, and types of transfers. For example, an organization would be required to disclose whether a transfer is a recurring or a one-time transfer.
These disclosures are intended to complement the FASB’s intention to reduce the complexities in financial reporting. The disclosures are intended to provide more detailed distinctions about the nature and types of disclosures on board-designated and donor-designated endowments, including the availability of those resources. Ultimately, the goal of the proposed changes is to allow the financial statement reader to gain a better picture of existing restrictions and liquidity of an organization’s investment funds by providing additional quantitative and qualitative information within the financial statements and notes.
Contact us for more information regarding the FASB's proposed guidance to board-designated or quasi-endowment funds and visit our not-for-profit services page to learn about our industry group.

How Do You Feel When You Finish A Book?
If you like sports, or just good writing, and you haven’t read any of Joe Posnanski’s column, for shame. I read his book, The Soul of Baseball, about his year spent with Buck O’Neil touring America, and found it a very affecting portrait of a man who knew what was right and was willing to wait for it.
Joe has a column in SI today which is about Buck, and Obama, and not about Prop 8. But I can’t help but take some of it in that light. If you can’t read the whole thing, here is what I think is the most relevant excerpt.
He said that with no bitterness — Buck just seemed to have no bitterness in him. He believed in the passing of time and in the slow but steady rhythms of change. He had seen so much of it in his life.
I posted previously about the effective tricks Connie Willis uses to build tension in “Passage,” a science fiction thriller about life and afterlife. By the time I got to the end, it was seriously almost impossible to put the book down. I’m pleased to report that she brings it all to a satisfying conclusion as expertly as she built it up.
To tell too much about the book would be to ruin its surprises, so here’s simply the premise: Joanna Lander, a doctor at Denver’s Mercy General hospital, is studying Near-Death Experiences. NDEs are the visions people experience when they die and then are revived (possibly also when they die and aren’t revived, but those we can’t get any record of), and while Joanna is taking a scientific tack at them, the wonderfully named Dr. Mandrake at the same hospital is taking the John Edward approach, urging people to remember the angels he’s sure they saw. This infuriates Joanna and her scientific mind, so when Dr. Richard Wright shows up with a neurochemical-based approach to the research, she joins him in his project.
The tug between spiritual and scientific energizes some of the book, but is not the central conflict; this is a science fiction book, after all, and there’s little doubt which side is favored. That’s not to say it’s never in doubt (nor that the ending is predictable), just that there is a more central theme to the book. Joanna’s central problem is the quest for knowledge, for truth, and the lengths to which she will go to get it are what really give the book its momentum. In every scene, she gets maddeningly close to finding what she thinks is the key to unraveling the mystery of the NDEs, taking us along with her from promising lead to dead end, from helpful but annoying friend to frustrating but ultimately helpful colleague.
What keeps the book’s energy up throughout are the characters. Joanna is a terrific main character, driven and sympathetic, but I could rattle off half a dozen tremendously drawn personalities off the top of my head and still be missing another half dozen. From the over-protective mother of a dying little girl to a character who spends most of the book in a coma, Willis’s characters are all alive in a way that any aspiring writer should study and take notes on. We feel for them and want them to succeed, Joanna as much as any of them.
I admittedly have a weak spot for death/ghost stories, but I can’t recommend this book highly enough for anyone who loves a good thriller and doesn’t mind a few gruesome medical details.

There are various people who really feel that to generate income in right now's market and sooner or later, you have to work off of advisory fees and never commissions. The financial providers trade has a scarcity of recent blood and until one thing is done to secure new expertise frequently - it is an trade that can slowly develop into extra specialised and more insular than it already Matthew Linklater is, with an aging work power, properly qualified and well experienced but with an absence of youth and dynamism to take the financial companies business into the long run.

Remember that feeling you used to get in highschool when it was reaching the end of the year? For me this was just last year and I admit that once this feeling hit I did just enough to not get in trouble. Last year that was not a problem as I was going to graduate and grades closed prior to graduation. But in college its different.
Instead of having a couple of weeks with nothing to do leading up to summer vacation I now have EVERYTHING to do. I can not sit back and enjoy that feeling of the anticipation of freedom, instead I must hunker down and prepare for an all out work load war. In the coming weeks Saint Rose students and college students everywhere must keep up the work until the very end. We must write essays, read chapters, and create right up until our pens leave the pages of our last final. We must put the feeling of excitement aside and try to keep the visions of summer fun out of our minds as we continue to bang out term papers. We must make it through.
This was dramatic I know- but with the awesome weather we have been having summer just seems too close when in reality its only April 18th and we do not make our escape until May 10th.

Although, you need to take a proactive and conscious approach towards your practice to ensure you’re getting the most out of each and every float.
The following tip will help you increase the potential benefits and progress associated with float tank therapy.
Proper hydration is responsible for a number of healthy functions within our body. Hydration ensures we have the potential to perform and think optimally.
Floatation practice is no different in this regard. Making sure you are properly hydrated before each session will enable your body and your mind to reach the desired mental and physical states.
It is important to note that you should aim to hydrate early and avoid excessive consumption of liquids within the hour before your float. The last thing you want to do is have your practice interrupted by urgent toilet breaks.
At all costs avoid stimulants like coffee, chocolate and teas in the hours before entering the tank. As floatation is a tool for practising mindfulness, you will find that stimulants only promote the activity of the mind and prevent any chance you have at achieving a state of calm.
You may feel thirsty after your session is complete; this is normal, as the floatation tank not only works to detox your mind but your system as well. Make sure you are regularly sipping on water after your session to enable the benefits to persist long after leaving the tank.

Lilly's Day ~ To some, it’s our biggest sale of the year. To us, it’s a way to remember our sweet girl Lilly and to show our appreciation for you & your support of Wet Nose over the last 13 years. If you talk to our veteran clients, they’ll tell you that the lines are long, but Lilly’s Day is fun, and a tradition that shouldn’t be missed. Consider it a Black Friday of sorts…lots of deals, huge give-a-ways, and an amazing Swag Bag that will give the Oscars a run for its money! It’s also a perfect time to add to your furry family since many hopeful pooches will be wagging their tails in hopes of catching your eye. The action starts at 10am but we strongly encourage attendees to arrive early to get first dibs on all that’s new. Want a little sneak peak of what we have planned? Keep reading….
We are pleased to welcome the Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation as our special guest this Lilly’s Day. Even though we have been a huge supporter of several rescue groups for many years, we have not heard of Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation…until recently. Wow! Are we ever glad that they introduced themselves. If the name sounds familiar to you, it’s because Bryan Bickell is a Chicago Blackhawks player – Go Hawks! The Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation works to create a positive cycle of awareness through "pit bull" type dogs that were once the victims of neglect, abuse, or abandonment. These dogs are often misunderstood and mistreated as a result of their name. They work to promote these dogs for adoption or to aid in their rescue through their Bick's "Pit" program. They also work to educate the public about "pit bulls" while providing services to low-income "pit bull" owners through their Chicago Loves "Pits" program. By working with "pit bulls" who are rescued or adopted and have overcome abuse or bullying, they then focus on promoting the human-animal bond by bringing certified therapy "pit bulls" together with children who are victims of abuse through their Paws for Strength program. Lastly, they work with children who are victims of bullying to teach kindness and compassion through "pit bulls" as part of their Bullies Against Bullying program. The Foundation works to create a cycle of positivity sparked by compassion for the dogs we love so much.
In addition to hosting Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation, Wet Nose will also be featuring 2 different Pittie rescue groups: Players For Pits & Peace For Pits. Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation regularly “sponsor” Pits from these groups in an effort to find them loving and forever homes. The quest continues on Lilly’s Day! Pits looking for a forever home will be wagging their tails at all locations on Lilly’s Day. If someone (like you!) meets one of these yummy Pits and there’s a “Love Connection” (adoption) Wet Nose will donate $200 to Bryan & Amanda Bickell Foundation to continue their valued work…yep…$200 for EVERY dog! Each lucky pooch will also receive a basket of goodies for their new home…our compliments.
Can’t adopt, but want to make a donation? We’ll be happy to accommodate you. Donation jars will be available for cash donations or just simply add your tax deductable contribution to your purchase upon checkout. Bickell donation dollars do not qualify towards swag bag and/or raffle ticket thresholds.
I don’t know about you, but I could really use a vacation. But since that’s not an option right now, I’ll have to live vicariously through the lucky winner of our $500 Airline Gift Card! The more you spend, the more chances you get to fly away someplace fun with our Lilly’s Day raffle. Receive a ticket for every $50 you spend (after discounts & coupons) for your chance to win. But wait, there’s more! Your pet will be the envy of every dog in town after Wet Nose names a treat after him or her. Can you picture it? Max’s Morsels, Bella Bites or maybe even Chester’s Chicken Chunks? For a whole year, your pet will have his name on cookie bags all over Chicago.
The early bird gets the worm! The first 100 people that visit us on Lilly’s Day will receive a sweet swag bag filled with amazing goodies and valued at over $400!!! This is by far our most amazing swag bag…EVER. Requires minimum purchase of $150 after discounts and coupons. Limit one per household and/or Loyalty Membership and available in-store only. Sorry…no phone orders.
Of course everything will be on sale on Lilly’s Day! How much? Well, we can’t let the cat out of the bag…yet, but stay tuned. All good things come to those who wait!

Bud, Not Buddy is a book about a 10-year old boy in Flint, Michigan trying to find his father. Time are hard: It is the Great Depression, and Bud’s mother is deceased, though she has left some clues about Bud’s father. The plot was patchy in some places, but it definitely kept me intrigued and in the story. The start of the story is a bit hard to follow, but the middle is strong and the rest of book and makes perfect sense. The end changes Bud’s world, and makes you conclude that this is a good book. I think almost all readers will enjoy this book, and I give it 3.5 stars.
Passions: She can't live without her pets or her bike.
Little Known Personal Fact: She loves cyclocross, a sport that involves mud and bikes.

Lisa Jackson is exceptional when it comes to throwing creative, realistic parties for her two boys. Remember Lucas’s letters & numbers themed party we posted a few months back? It was so good. Lucky for us, her second little guy turned one in August and she planned an equally creative party for him.
Since Theo is and always has been such a smiley little guy, she built the party around his big grin. A “Say Cheese!” party with a photo booth that guests could use to create a special album for Theo’s first. A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E.
Starting with these amazing flip book invites!
Donut holes are a staple at every birthday party for Lisa’s kids so far. And she always makes the cutest custom paper cones to serve them.
She made a bunch of photobooth props, using templates from a few sites including Oh Happy Day (of course!).
A few of the Instax Mini snaps from the party!
Lisa found these camera cookies on Etsy 3 years ago and has been waiting for the perfect event to order them, ever since.
Big bro, Lucas, helping out with musical entertainment.
Two fists of cake, of course! Happy birthday, sweet Theo. Thanks for sharing, Lisa!
Simply adorable! Those camera cookies were genius.
Wow! This party pops! Excellent ideas and execution!

Fulshear's population is rapidly expanding, and the US Census Bureau's 2016 population estimates for Texas released in July 2017 revealed Fulshear as the fastest growth city in the State. In 2017, the City’s Economic Development Corporations (EDCs) funded an inaugural demographic study for the City of Fulshear to better gauge our current population, and to project future residential and population growth. The City utilizes the demography firm, Population and Survey Analysts (PASA), to conduct the report which is updated annually.
The report covers a study area which encompasses the City of Fulshear, its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), and areas just beyond the ETJ that are not currently included in other jurisdictions. It provides a basic population and demographic overview as well as projections, to provide reliable data regarding Fulshear's residential development, upon which other models could be built for various planning efforts across the City.
For further information, please contact Economic Development at ecodev@fulsheartexas.gov, or by calling (281) 346-1796.
