What is smart TV?Back to advice guides
Access apps such as BBC iPlayer, stream films on Netflix or browse your favourite websites on the big screen - you can do all this with a smart TV.
Smart TVs are available from just a few hundred pounds, but can cost over £2,000
Access to extra services, such as apps, video streaming and web browsing, on your TV
Smart TV services are not always easy to use, video streaming quality can depend on your broadband
Whatever price, type or brand you're after, we've got you covered with our expert and independent TV reviews.
Smart TVs let you access apps, browse the web and stream internet video right from the comfort of your sofa. They are becoming more common, with a wide range of models to choose from, including Best Buy smart TVs for affordable prices.
In this guide, we explain how smart TVs work, analyse the best brands and help you choose the best one for you.
Smart TV: what are the benefits?
A smart TV is cleverer than your average HD TV – if you connect it to the internet, you can access an exciting range of additional services. Most smart TVs will offer the following:
- TV and films: stream the latest blockbuster movies on Netflix and NOW TV, or catch up on must-see TV programme using BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Channel 4's 4oD.
- Social networking: keep up with friends via Facebook and Twitter on your TV - read, post and tweet without interrupting your viewing.
- Web browsing: some smart TV models have web browsers allowing you to surf the internet and view web pages, images and videos on the big screen.
"If you want to stream video on your smart TV, it's best to go for an unlimited broadband package to avoid any excess data charges."
Smart TV: What you'll need
- Internet connection: you'll need a broadband connection to get your smart TV online. Connect it to up using either an ethernet cable, or wi-fi if the TV has it. You'll need a decent broadband speed if you want to stream video, and it's best to go for a unlimited package so you can avoid any excess changes for exceeding your data limit.
- TV licence: you don't need a licence to watch TV over the internet if it's purely on-demand - ie, not live. However, you do need one if you're watching live TV in your home, regardless of whether it is on a computer or a smart TV.
- Home networking capability: if you want to wirelessly connect your TV to other devices, such as your PC or mobile phone, then you'll need to have all the right bits and pieces. Head to our TV connections tool to get your home network up and running.
How to make your current TV smart
If you don't want to splash out on a new smart TV, there are affordable ways to get internet services on your current TV. These include:
- Set-top boxes: some boxes allow you to connect to the internet, transforming your standard, run-of-the-mill TV into a smart TV for a fraction of the cost. There are a range of boxes available that can access video on-demand, catch-up TV and other internet apps, such as Sky's Now TV streaming box. Check our set top box reviews for more.
- YouView: a subscription-free service, launched in 2012, that combines Freeview digital TV with the internet catch-up TV services from all four main broadcasters (BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5). The YouView set-top box can be purchased standalone, or bundled with broadband deals from BT and TalkTalk
- Computer: if you connect your PC to your TV, you can use it as a large computer monitor. For this, you'll need an analogue VGA input. Some TVs can be connected via a digital input, either a DVI socket, or more commonly via an HDMI input configured for PC screen resolutions (check your TV manual for instructions on this). If your PC only has a DVI output, HDMI to DVI cables are available online, costing just a few pounds.
Smart TV brands
Smart TVs are available from four main manufacturers: LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba. Each brand offers its own unique smart TV package and each has it's own strengths and weaknesses.
Samsung smart TV
Samsung smart TVs offer apps from all the major UK catch-up TV services - BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, 4oD and Demand 5. You can also stream movies via Netflix and LoveFilm, or use social networking apps such as Facebook and Twitter. Alongside a good range of pre-loaded apps, Samsung TVs have an app store for you to download more.
You can usually browse the web on Samsung smart TVs, and some of the higher-end models have special remote controls with laptop-style trackpads for controlling the features. This is useful, as our testing has revealed that it can be tricky to do tasks with just a standard Samsung remote control.
LG smart TV
LG's smart TV service lacks popular catch-up TV apps such as ITV Player and 4oD, but has a good range of services available, including Sky's Now TV, plus an app store for you to download others. LG's smart TV hub makes it easy to organise apps by favourites, but the home dashboard is quite cluttered - the pages are all packed with icons, which can be confusing at first.
LG's magic wand remote control works a bit like a computer mouse, with a moveable cursor on screen. It makes it easier to operate the smart TV functions, but it's only included free on the pricier TVs, otherwise you'll have to buy it separately, while some models don't support it at all.
Sony smart TV
Sony's own Video Unlimited service comes pre-loaded on Sony smart TVs, offering films and other video content to watch. There are also apps for Netflix, LoveFilm, BBC iPlayer and Demand 5, but no ITV Player or 4oD. Plus, Sony does not offer a dedicated app store for downloading extra apps.
Navigating the smart TV features with Sony's standard remote control can be a pain, so Sony has introduced a special remote featuring a laptop-style trackpad for more easily doing tasks. However, we've found that it's still not that easy to get around and the web browser remains a source of frustration.
Panasonic smart TV
Panasonic's smart TV service benefits from a recent redesign and now offers web browsing and a variety of apps; including Twitter, BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, Netflix and YouTube. Panasonic TVs can be personalised to the individual members of your household through the use of Home Screens.
The TVs also benefit from a 'Swipe & Share' feature, which allows the transfer of content from a smartphone to the TV (and vice versa). From our recent testing, we've found Panasonic's smart TV service OK to use, although it's remote controls could be much better.
Toshiba smart TV
Toshiba's smart TV service, called Cloud TV, has no app store and you only get a few apps pre-loaded on the TV, but there are popular services available, such as BBC iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube.
Cloud TV has some decent features, such as a personalised 'home' screen and a service that gives extra information on the shows and films you're watching. It's just a shame that the Cloud TV menus are often laggy and the system is quite tricky to navigate with Toshiba's remote control.

Cook County in Illinois ranks third in the nation for most residents without health coverage.
An Associated Press study shows half the nation's uninsured live in just 4% of U.S. counties.
Here in Central Illinois a medical merger is intended to keep Peoria out of the ranks of the uninsured.
A deal several years in the making.
When Heartland Clinic CEO Farrell Davies joined her new partners from OSF's Sisters Clinic and the University of Illinois College of Medicine for Monday's ribbon cutting, it illustrated the ongoing changes in the affordable health care landscape.
"Better education, better patient care, more continuity of care," said Sara Rusch, Reg. Dean, U of I College of Medicine.
Now, under the new Heartland-Armstrong banner, the Med School residents will be able to provide more services, especially to those who use the clinic for outpatient services.
Farrell Davies said Heartland's mission is to care for the uninsured and those covered by Medicaid.
She believes the new partnership with OSF will help dissuade those with no insurance not to use the hospital emergency room for things that aren't true emergencies and where those who are insured have to pick up the cost.
"If we have a population of people who are diabetic, and they're using the ER for their primary care, needless to say its not good for the patient, its not good for the health care system, and its not good for the community," said Farrell Davies, CEO, Heartland Community Clinic.
Also, Heartland has now begun to reach out to get the uninsured coverage under the Affordable Care Act. In fact, following Monday's ribbon-cutting, Heartland staff signed up five people for expanded Medicaid through the ACA.

WJBF News Channel 6 has learned a Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University student was struck by a car Friday morning.
We are told the student was struck while in a crosswalk on Laney-Walker Boulevard. The student was alert and conscious upon arrival of EMS personnel and has been discharged from the Georgia Regents Medical Center Emergency Department.
GRU officials are asking that drivers continue to monitor their rate of speed and slow down at crosswalks and intersections. Pedestrians should also make eye contact with drivers and not assume drivers will obey the law and stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Additional traffic signs will be placed on Laney-Walker Boulevard to remind drivers to slow down and crossing guards will be added during critical hours when most people are arriving and leaving work or school.
The GRU Police Department increased enforcement of traffic laws in 2008 after a student was struck at the intersection of 15th Street and Laney-Walker Boulevard. Officers currently use radar on both streets, where the posted speed limit is 25 MPH.

Backpacker Magazine – April 2008
Clear out your car before heading into the woods.
Behave as you would in bear country, and don't leave tasty valuables in sight. Sounds obvious, but 90 percent of thefts involve lustables left in plain view, says Sheriff Ed Holte of Lake County, CO. Another no-no: Never stash stuff in the woods. In high-risk areas, crooks often case parking lots, watching what you do. And don't post your itinerary on the dash. Leave it with rangers, so shady folks won't be privy to your plans.

Jackson Pearce made her debut with As You Wish, a YA novel about a girl who accidentally summons a genie--and then falls in love with him. In Sisters Red, a contemporary retelling of "Little Red Riding Hood," the plot is more intense: sisters Scarlett and Rosie fight the Fenris (aka werewolves) that prey on girls in their Georgia town.
But Scarlett and Rosie have an occasionally strained relationship. Older sister Scarlett is the "tough" one--the physically strong hunter on a self-appointed mission to kill all the Fenris in the world. Rosie feels indebted to Scarlett for saving her life as a child, and though she wants to kill the wolves, she also longs for the normal life of a teenager. Complicating matters, Rosie is also in love with Silas, their hunting partner. Scarlett is in love with the hunt.
In an interview with BookPage, 25-year-old Pearce tells us about writing for an older audience, crafting a "kickass heroine" and her relationship with her own sister, which partly inspired the novel--the first in a new series.
Sisters Red is inspired by "Little Red Riding Hood," but with a twist: this time the wolf--or rather, wolves--are fought, not feared. Did you read any previous retellings of the fairy tale when you were working on the book?
I actually avoided other retellings at all costs until Sisters Red was written and lightly revised. I was terrified that reading something else would mess with my mythology, or I'd see a great idea and be unable to use it since it was already someone else's.
I did, however, read every version of the actual fairy tale I could find--French; German; U.S., Disney-fied sweet versions; super dark original versions. I think by reading the fairytale in its many incarnations, I was more able to find the heart of the story and stick to it.
Did your relationship with your own sister--to whom the book is dedicated--inspire any of the scenes between Scarlett and Rosie?
I think my relationship with my sister inspired and influenced the entire book, to be honest! But there are several scenes that I plucked straight from our childhood. Specifically, one where Rosie is lamenting how when Scarlett got poison ivy, she was allowed to sleep in their mother's bed, and another where both Scarlett and Rosie visit an apple harvest festival and everyone is dressed up in apple-themed clothing and kids have paper apples stapled to their shirts. I have a photo of Katie riding her bike, covered in paper apples with apples painted on her cheeks. I have really big blackmail plans for that photo . . .
Many early reader reviews of Sisters Red have focused on Scarlett's role as a fierce heroine. What do you think makes a character fierce or powerful; is it physical strength, the willingness to kill, cleverness or is there more to it?
I think there's always more to it. Scarlett is immensely physically powerful--I wouldn't want to meet her in an alley! But she's also emotionally fragile, desperate and scared. Rosie is not quite as strong as her sister, but is more confident in herself and her relationships, more willing to let herself be happy. They're both strong--just in very different ways. Neither is necessarily superior, and those obviously aren't the only "versions" of strength in the world.
The Fenris are portrayed as sexual predators. The fight scenes don't shy away from graphic violence (a ripped-off elbow comes to mind). Did you worry about alienating fans of As You Wish, which is written for a younger audience (12 & up vs. 15 & up)? Did you set out to write a book with more "mature" content?
I won't lie, I am worried that fans of As You Wish will be shocked to read Sisters Red, but I couldn't let that stop me from writing Scarlett and Rosie's story the way it needed to be written--and the truth is, there's just no pretty, happy, sweet way for a werewolf to eat innocent girls. Trying to tone down the violence would have felt like lying.
You've said that the names in Sisters Red have significance--Rosie and Scarlett are both related to the color red, and their last name, March, is a reference to Little Women. Can you identify some of the other name references?
Silas' name means forest/wood, and the apartment they move to is on Andern street--Andern is a city where the Grimm brothers lived. The house number, 333, is the number that Little Red Riding Hood is classified as on the Aarne-Thompson classification system for folktales. Screwtape the cat is named after The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.
Will Scarlett, Rosie or Silas ever make an appearance in another Sisters Red book?
I'm not sure at this point. The upcoming book, Sweetly, is a companion, not a direct sequel, as is the projected third book in the series. I would love to return to Scarlett, Rosie and Silas, I just don't have a story for them yet!
Sweetly, the second book in the Sisters Red series, is inspired by "Hansel and Gretel." The third book, Fathomless, is a retelling of "The Little Mermaid." Are you interested in adapting other fairytales?
I love, love, love adapting fairytales, and as long as the ideas keep coming, I'll keep writing them. I don't currently have any books planned beyond Fathomless, but I can see that changing in the future.
What drew you to write supernatural novels? Why do you think this genre is so popular with teens right now?
I've always loved to read supernatural novels, so it only seemed natural that I'd also enjoy writing them. I think the genre is especially popular recently because authors are taking more and more risks--adding romance, sexuality, violence, religion, etc. to books that might have been "neutered" 15 years ago, making the stories even more relatable than before.
What young adult writers influenced you?
I loved Lynne Reid Banks' The Indian in the Cupboard, the Boxcar Children series and Harry Potter, as well as classics like Fahrenheit 451 and To Kill a Mockingbird. But to be honest, I think every book you read influences you in someway, for better or worse!
Sisters Red has been described as Little Red Riding Hood meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Are you happy with this comparison? Are you a Buffy fan?
I'm mixed on this--on the one hand, I love Buffy, so. . . hurrah! But on the other, I don't personally think the two stories have THAT much in common. Buffy has an entourage, musical moments, she essentially has superpowers and can come back from the dead. Scarlett and Rosie. . . not so much. I am, however, thrilled that my characters are being compared to such an iconic, kickass heroine.

Horn Book Guide Reviews 2011 Spring
Attacked by a Fenris (werewolf) as children, Scarlett and Rosie, now teenagers, don red capes and hunt the creatures. For Scarlett, killing Fenris is her whole life; Rosie is torn between devotion to her sister and desire for a different existence. This modern, urban "Little Red Riding Hood" interpretation, told from the sisters' alternating perspectives, includes plenty of violence, action, and plot twists. Copyright 2010 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
Horn Book Magazine Reviews 2010 #5
The lives of Scarlett and Rosie March haven't been normal since a Fenris (werewolf) attacked them as young children. It killed their grandmother and left Scarlett permanently scarred and missing an eye. Now the sisters are in their late teens, and, along with their woodsman friend, Silas, they hunt werewolves. Donning red capes and strong perfume to lure the Fenris, Scarlett wields a hatchet while Rosie throws knives in their fights against the vicious creatures that attack unsuspecting females. For Scarlett, killing Fenris is her whole life, and her obsession takes the three hunters from their small town to Atlanta where numerous clans of werewolves congregate in search of the novel's central mystery element: a Potential Fenris ("a man -- or boy -- able to lose his soul and become a monster" from a single werewolf bite). But Rosie is torn between her devotion to Scarlett and her desire for a life outside of hunting -- one that will hopefully include a romantic relationship with Silas. Although some references to "Little Red Riding Hood" are more effective than others, this modern, urban interpretation reinvents the story for older audiences; plenty of violence, action, and plot twists keep it flowing and, for the most part, plausible and innovative. Telling the tale from the two sisters' perspectives in alternating chapters, Pearce skillfully develops the unique voices of two strong heroines at a crossroads in their lives. cynthia k. ritter Copyright 2010 Horn Book Magazine Reviews.
Kirkus Reviews 2010 May #2
This is not the tale of Little Red Riding Hood your granny told. In this version, the sisters, Scarlett and Rose (shades of red, anyone?), were attacked by a werewolf-like Fenris and saved by Scarlett's quick action with a broken mirror. The attack left Scarlett with one eye, bite and claw scars and an obsessive drive to rid the world of the Fenris clans. Told from the points of view of the two teens, joined by childhood friend and woodsman Silas, the story combines elements of fantasy and mystery in equal parts. The voices of both sisters are distinctive and clearly differentiated, though the dialogue is sometimes overwrought and melodramatic. The plot unfolds with steadily increasing tension and unexpected twists to a shocking climax. The ending may not be totally satisfying, but it is realistic given the depiction of both young women. This urban fantasy with its scarred heroine and intermittent violence is not for Twilight fans but may well appeal to Melissa Marr's readers and teens who like their fantasy on the gritty side.

As young girls, sisters Scarlett and Rosie March survived an attack by the Fenris, which killed their grandmother and left Scarlett without an eye. Now--joined by Silas, the woodsman's son--they hunt these charismatic werewolves, which prey on pretty girls in their small Georgia town. Scarlett wields a vicious ax, while Rosie longs for some normalcy and the chance at a romantic relationship with Silas. The game changes when the three decide to take the hunt to Atlanta, where an unprecedented number of Fenris are gathering. Alternating between Scarlett and Rosie's viewpoints, this urban transplant of Grimm's "Little Red Riding Hood" makes plain the story's violent and sexual overtones. A note to the squeamish: when the oh-so-big-teeth of the Fenris meet the March sisters' savage weaponry, the result is more in keeping with the violence of Susanne Collins's "Hunger" trilogy than with, say, Meyer's "Twilight" saga.

Library Media Connection Reviews 2010 August/September
Not until she was attacked, did Scarlett actually believe in the Fenris?werewolves that seek out and devour young girls. Following the death of her grandmother and her own recovery from the attack that left her blinded in one eye, Scarlett, along with her sister Rosie, vow to hunt down and destroy the Fenris before they kill young girls throughout the region. With their razor-sharp hatchets and red cloaks, Scarlett and Rosie move from the woodlands to the city, along with Silas, a young woodsman who is the love interest that becomes a divisive wedge between the two sisters. As Scarlett watches romance blossom between Rosie and Silas, she feels that she has no room in her heart for love. Rosie, feeling obligated to hunt alongside her sister, is drawn toward Silas, but at what cost? Told in alternating chapters by the two sisters, this action-packed, albeit somewhat violent fairy tale retelling, will keep fans of dark fantasy and gothic romance engaged as they search for the answers, as well as the werewolves that walk among us. Recommended. Shonda Brisco, Asst. Professor/Curriculum Materials Librarian, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater ¬ 2010 Linworth Publishing, Inc.
Publishers Weekly Reviews 2010 June #4
The psychosexual implications of "Little Red Riding Hood" have been explored since the days of Bruno Bettelheim, and Pearce (As You Wish) tackles them with enthusiasm in this grisly contemporary reimagining. Scarlett March, 18, scarred and missing an eye after killing the "Fenris" who slaughtered her grandmother, now lives to hunt the werewolflike creatures that relentlessly stalk and murder girls far and wide. Her 16-year-old sister, Rosie, has also been trained to hunt, but feels the tug of a different life and kills Fenris only out of loyalty to her beloved sister. The neighboring woodman's son, Silas, has been a reliable ally, but he, too, has begun to think about other things--including Rosie. Still, all three move from their rural town to Atlanta when the opportunity comes to strike a major blow against the Fenris, the urban landscape becoming the vehicle of discovery for them all. Although it remains fuzzy why the trio shoulders the burden of combating the Fenris alone, rather than exposing the creatures to the rest of the populace, it's a well-told tale that does not suffer from the fairy tale predictability of its outcome. Ages 15-up. (June)[Page ]. Copyright 2010 Reed Business Information.
Gr 8 Up--For Scarlett and Rosie March, the world is not what it seems. Werewolves, called Fenris, live among them in the form of good-looking men who prey on pretty young girls. When a Fenris attacked the March girls, it killed their grandmother and left them emotionally and, for Scarlett, physically scarred. Since then, they have taken action and revenge. With the help of a friend, Silas, the girls are on a mission--to destroy as many Fenris as they can. This goal becomes more complicated when they try to unravel the mystery behind the pack and prevent the next "Potential" from transforming fully into a soulless, evil monster. Pearce is on the mark with this modern-day retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Told by the sisters in alternating chapters, this well-written, high-action adventure grabs readers and never lets go. Rosie and Scarlett are true heroines; smart, tough, and determined, but their special bond is put to test when Rosie and Silas's relationship becomes more than just friendship. A satisfying read with a fantastic cover.--Donna Rosenblum, Floral Park Memorial High School, NY[Page 120]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

According to the following NASA page, the best US sites to view the eclipse might be in Hawaii or possibly Alaska.
Not true at all...
The eclipse will not even touch Hawaii or Alaska. The best place to view will be in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. The Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Monument Vally, Chaco Canyon, Shiprock, Albuquerque, etc. are the places I'm considering.
Clicking on the NASA/Google map shows the duration for that site. Hawaii and Alaska will see only partial Solar Eclipses. California will have the longest look in the US (if only by seconds), as the times decrease as it heads east (the Sun's altitude is dropping). Check the following links for more information:

"The winter is the worst for my lips. I put on lip balm before bed, but the next day it's the same battle."
-Lisa DiRaimo, Warwick, Rhode Island
The Rx: "Your lips won't absorb the balm if there's a layer of dead skin on top," says Arielle Kauvar, MD, clinical professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center. To get rid of the flakes, apply a dab of lip scrub (or mix sugar and water together to make your own). Afterward, coat your lips with balm -- the milder, the better. (We like Aquaphor Lip Repair, $4.50.) Avoid medicated formulas that contain camphor or menthol, since they can irritate already-chapped skin.Looking for more product recommendations to help soothe your dry skin?

First and foremost, I'd like to thank the faculty and staff of GTU in general and the DSPT in particular for providing me with a delicious spread of truth. Really, a banquet of possibilities was laid out for me through the many of the schools at the GTU, as I have taken classes on neo-paganism, rabbinic magic, neuroscience, buddhism and postmodernity, theology of desire, Orthodox theology, and of course, none of this would have made sense without the history of philosophy provided at DSPT. Having gone through all that, now I am a master, now we are all masters, and we can begin to figure out how to co-create an eschatological kingdom on earth with God's go help. In fact, this is absolutely necessary, as we watch the world fall off into oblivion. What is going on today? The Pope has declared a year of faith, Syria is in turmoil with two bishops held hostage, the kids on Telegraph Avenue sit on the side of the road cultivating an authenticity in contradistinction to the impersonal capitalism that has not only failed the 99% but enslaved the 1% by their greed, resources are being devoured at unsustainable speeds by short-sighted lust for novelty, and my favorite, graffiti is the undisputed leader of postmodern aesthetic sensibilities.
"Hey, I don't know if the billions will survivebut I'll believe in God when one and one are fiveMy moniker is man and I'm rotten to the coreI'll tear down the building just to pass through the doorSo do what you must, do all you canBreak all the rules andGod to the hell with supermanAnd die like a champion, yeah hey!"
I was proud to be a reprobate.
Well, that was in high school, and Bad Religion is still my favorite band; however, now, I pursued, and finally learned, the truth at the heart of the matter. In Olympia, WA in 2009, I learned the two things that would guide my studies here at the DSPT. My Orthodox priest told me that all of Christian dogma is summarized in the priestly hand blessing: 3 fingers out, 2 fingers crossed, the Trinity and two natures. Such is heaven. By maintaining a faithful focus on those two facts, everything else will fall into place, and it truly does. Meditating on the Incarnation and the Trinity, the Fathers of the Church were able to develop the world's first particularist philosophy, developing the concept of the hypostasis which saves the particular human from dissolving into an abstract intellectual universal. The Trinity is the perfection of the intersubjective love community as three hypostases share their one substance. The Incarnation reveals that the hypostasis subtends nature and that the laws of nature are for the sake of that hypostasis. Furthermore, as the union of the human and divine natures, Christ provides the absolute teleological arrow that moves the finite human nature toward the infinite God. Triangulating these three points, Christianity provides a true vision of ecstasy, wherein the particular, remaining rooted in its own heart/mind/soul, strives to reach out toward another particular, simultaneously reaching into God's infinity and attempting to create relational bonds with his/her neighbors that are as tight as those within the Trinity.
With this knowledge of theology, the question remains how to come down from the Holy Hill. Philosophy is the key. Beginning with "natural" human self-consciousness, an individual has the ability to know how to properly orient himself in every situation. On the universal axis, he can position himself within the hard sciences, deconstructing his body into physics, chemistry, and biology. Recognizing the subject at the helm of these physical processes, he can place himself within anthropology, economics, politics, aesthetics, and religion. Having dissolved himself into these structures, philosophical self-consciousness wraps back around, as the philosopher recognizes that the common human traits that he has discovered take on particular shades through his own history, movements, and context.
Since most people, unfortunately, have not cultivated such deep levels of self-consciousness, the goal of the philosopher is to ignite the quest in others. This, of course, is not merely the shouting of truth claims in the face of passersby, but rather, infusing the will to question, the will to study into them, which ultimately opens the door to wonder. While most are relatively content to work themselves into exhaustion and then go to sleep, the philosopher's duty is to wake the people up from their slumber so they can live full and thriving lives. The greatest shame in our modern society is how easily it has given up the philosophical life in favor of a materialistic reduction, a shadow of life. Paradoxically, even in their exhaustion the people cannot sleep, drowning in the mire of anxiety, which after all, is the result of a subject pushed to the limit of its finitude without the ability to find rest in the infinite. In this world of shadows, the philosopher is the natural light of the world.
As the people begin to open themselves up to the wondrous complexity of the world, their minds descend deeper from the horizontal 'hows' to the vertical 'whys', and the world blossoms before them. What was once a grey world of monotonous repetition becomes a colorful pallet of vibrant life. Behind each thing in the world lurks a powerful reason guiding it forward, and ultimately, the reason for the reason emerges with its full actuality. This is the Logos, the electrical center of the world that shocks it into being. Every philosophical quest must end with the discovery of the Logos and the ability to articulate the discovery of that Logos; however, the articulation is less important than the discovery. As a caveat, it is important to note that this Logos is not the Derridean enemy that forecloses potential, but rather, the condition of the possibility of potentiality, the true actuality which precedes potentiality. Having made the discovery, and thereby, grasping it personally, the individual find his home, finds his reason for being.
While such a powerful Logos was discovered by the Greeks, the Christian turn is the explicit realization of what was once implicit. The hidden Logos reveals itself, essentially turning itself inside out. What is at the center of creation has brought itself to the surface, giving itself fully to all. This reasonably completes the circuit of relationality. As humanity has been searching for its source by digging deep into the soil of the world, so the source springs up from the soil of the world to search for humanity. From this we learn the theological pedagogy- we must turn ourselves inside out for the sake of the other. First, we must dig philosophically to possess the truth. In the solid confidence of that truth, we twist out of ourselves to meet the other. In such authentic engagement, we do not meet the other as a missionary territory, waiting to be colonized with the flag of Christ driven through his head, but as a human being, immersed in loves and cares that ultimately participate in the truth. Once we have sincerely taken an interest in the cares of our neighbor and have begun to develop dialogue with him, then and only then do we have the humble privilege to try and reveal, with pathos and ethos, how his natural desires can be extended toward the infinite Godhead, and this, of course, is done first with deeds and then with words- like St. Francis, preach always, use words when necessary. So how should it work? People should be drawn to the church because of a quality lacking in the world, a joyous effervescent love that steadily burns even in the face of suffering. The public face of the church should be the most beautiful things we have to offer, something that Fr. Nicholi Loudovikos calls a Eucharistic ontology of dialogical reciprocity. The private space, meanwhile, is a warm love beyond words. When we are fortunate to make a friend in the world, our job is to bring that silent love, to make it present through the casual conversations that mark friends. Finally, if he is interested, he will approach you with questions. This is the bidirectional patrimony that the Church has to protect- not only facilitating the Logos' movement into the world but also facilitating the world's movement into the Logos. And, God willing, that will continue.

(WMC-TV) - Parents are teaching their children the value of safety after the tragic death of a 9-year-old Saturday.
"I told him that we have to be careful when we go out to the park, every time that we go to a party, and when we go outside. We need to be looking for each other. Because that could happen to anyone," stated neighbor Mark Martinez.
As for the family, they are too a shaken to talk Sunday. However, they have confirmed the other two kids pulled from the pool are safe.
Originally, three children jumped in the pool at a birthday party while the adults were inside. Two were safely pulled from the pool and the third found approximately 15 minutes later. But, by then, it was to late.
The young boy passed away after 7:30 p.m. Saturday after he was found at the bottom of a family pool.

The announcement was made quietly but it was front-page news. On Saturday, August 19, 1933, an article appeared on the front page of the Vancouver Evening Columbian announcing the founding of Vancouver Junior College.
It was the result of belief and hope in the midst of the Great Depression. Local educator John Todd, a former school superintendent in Auburn, Wash., headed a group of Vancouver businesspeople in the effort endorsed by the Washington Education Association.
Todd expected the college to be supported by tuition fees. He asked city leaders to appoint representatives to form a board of advisors. Six faculty members were named in September. They were: Raymond A. Busco (business administration), Gilbert Erlandson (psychology and social science), Marian Hendrick (dramatics and art), Robert T. Oliver (English), Miriam M. Reinhart (history and mathematics), and Ralph Hanna (foreign languages). (John Todd was the brother of Edward Todd, president of the College of Puget Sound.)
On September 7, Vancouver Junior College ran its first-ever registration ad in The Vancouver Evening Columbian, announcing that registration would begin on September 28 with fall term beginning on Monday, October 2.
Registration began Sept. 28 for the fall term starting four days later. Tuition fees were $110-$135 if paid in advance, or, depending on the course of study, $45 to $50 for three months, paid in advance.
Vancouver Junior College opens its doors
October 1, 1933 was a Sunday. On that day, the tiny faculty of Vancouver Junior College – numbering about half a dozen – held their first formal meeting at the Hidden House in downtown Vancouver.
Historical records indicate that, with enrollment so low, faculty members had questioned whether the college should open. But jobs were scarce – especially teaching jobs. More than that, one student – Larry Rakestraw, a graduate of Washougal High School – had signed up on the first day of registration and had paid his tuition in full. That support – that belief in the junior college – carried the day.
Still, the minutes of that first faculty meeting make the financial basis of the college operation abundantly clear: " That the employees are to be remunerated in the following manner: the overhead to be deducted from the total income, and that the remainder of the income is to be divided equally among the teachers signing the contract."
And so, the next morning, on October 2, 1933, the college opened for classes. A catalog of just a few pages outlined the college's offerings and listed five faculty members including Dean Robert Oliver.
1930s highlights
On November 18, following a contest, Clark Junior College is unveiled as the college's new name. An article in The Columbian noted that "McLoughlin" was actually the leading designation. However, since "Clark," "Lewis and Clark," and "Clark County" drew combined twice as many votes as "McLoughlin," the decision was made to choose Clark Junior College.
Friday, June 15, 1934 was a milestone in the college's history. That evening, at a graduation banquet, Mrs. Frances Bunnell Wilde became the first graduate of Clark Junior College. Mrs. Wilde was the sole student to graduate as the college completed its first year of operation. In his diary, Dean Robert Oliver described the historic ceremony. Elizabeth Gedney Christensen, Class of 1936, generously donated her program from the 1934 ceremony to the college.
In the fall of 1934, Clark Junior College announced plans to raise $5,000 to buy permanent equipment, including chemical laboratory supplies, library books, chairs, blackboards and other necessities. Years later, Dean Robert Oliver recalled that only about $30 was raised.
Still, classes continued and on Wednesday, June 5, 1935, Clark Junior College held its first official graduation ceremony. Two students graduated: Rodney Jeffrey and Lawrence Rakestraw, the first student to enroll at the college. As the program notes, the ceremony was held at the Evergreen Hotel. In an editorial, The Columbian took note of the college's accomplishments during its first two years.
Spring 1937 brought the college's first accreditation by the University of Washington. At the invitation of the college, a committee or five professors from the university visited Clark on March 12, 1937.
According to the book "A History of the Vancouver Public Schools," the professors "inspected the accounts, the libraries and the laboratories, visited classes, conferred with instructors, chatted with students, had lunch with the board and talked with other members of the community."
The book reported: "Acknowledging the meagerness of facilities, the committee concluded that the quality of the work and the competence and earnestness of the faculty warranted the encouragement that accreditation would give."
|The 1936 faculty members included Dean Lewis D. Cannell (top row, center), Homer P. Foster (Social Sciences) (top row, left), Ralph Hanna (Foreign Languages) (front row, right), Mrs. Willard P. Tyler (Registrar, Librarian), Albert M. Nanney (Lecturer in Business Law) (front row, left), Keith Wilcox (Mechanical Drawing) and Willard P. Tyler (Science).
As a result, Clark Junior College was accredited for one year. (It has remained accredited throughout its history.) The announcement was made on April 23, 1937. One day later, The Columbian newspaper congratulated the "splendid little junior college" in an editorial.
That fall, the college moved to its second location. The building faced Seventh Street, near C Street, near a pedestrian gate to the Vancouver Barracks.
The 1938 Galapagon yearbook stated: "September 27, 1938 found students and faculty of Clark Junior College established in a 'new' building....[with] every convenience students could wish for: a large auditorium with seats which can be removed, leaving a spacious dance floor; a well-book-stocked library...and apartments where various members of the faculty reside."
The 1937 yearbook was the first to be published with the Galapagon name. In addition to the drawings of the Hidden House and Vancouver buildings (left), it included this foreward:
The 1937 Galapagon also included the words to the college's first song, penned by Lawrence Rakestraw, the first student to enroll at Clark. On October 1, 2008, that song rang out at the college for the first time in many years as the Clark College Chorale performed a memorable rendition during the college's 75th anniversary celebration.
As the 1930s came to an end, the college was continuing to grow. Soon, however, history would intervene in a big way and World War II would take its toll.

Cruise ship in harbor at Nawiliwili, Kauai
Kalapaki Beach
Kalapaki Beach is a lovely long curve of sandy beach with good swimming and boogie boarding. Swaying palm trees fringe the back of the beach, providing welcome shade on a hot day. Near by stands the expansive Marriott Beach Resort, but the beach is wide enough to ensure it never feels too busy. Kalapaki Beach and the close by shopping centers are the only attractions within walking distance of the cruise port. To go further afield, the only real option is to hire a car, or join a ship excursion.
Wailua Falls
There are many beautiful waterfalls in Kauai, but many are high up in the mountains, completely inaccessible to the visitor. But Wailua Falls, just a couple of miles from Lihu'e, is both beautiful and easy to get to. There's a viewpoint on the road just by the falls, or the fit and sure-footed can hike a trail into the pool beneath the falls for a swim. (The easiest trail starts about a quarter of a mile before the lookout). To reach the falls take Ma'alo Road, hwy 583, out of Lihu'e, and follow the road for about 10 minutes.
Wailua River
The Wailua River flows from Mt. Wai'ale'ale, one of the wettest spots on the planet and flows westwards for just 20 miles before reaching the coast. There's enough rain to make the river the only navigable river in Hawaii. Boat trips upstream start at the Wailua Marina State Park, and head to the Fern Grotto landing and nature trail, a distance of about a mile. Wailua River is approximately 5 miles up the coast from Nawiliwili.
Po'ipu Beach
On a showery day, your best bet for a beach outing is to head for Kauai's south shore to Po'ipu, whose beach boasts the best weather on the island. Po'ipu Beach has plenty of amenities like restrooms, showers, lifeguards and picnic tables. Po'ipu is about 10 miles south west of the cruise port.
Kee Beach
Kee Beach is the last beach accessible by car on the Kuhio Highway, which winds its way west along the North shoreline of the island. The beach is protected by an offshore coral reef, so there's excellent snorkeling in the clear blue waters of the lagoon. At the western end of the beach stand the first cliffs of the famed Na Pali coastline. Keen hikers can sample the celebrated Kalalau Trail which contours under the cliffs by walking the first two miles to Hanakapiai Beach. Kee Beach is a drive of about 90 minutes from Nawiliwili.

Comments about OSPREY Women's Mira 34 Hydration Pack:
This was an awesome lightweight pack. We just came back from a trip in the Grand Canyon and this pack was so comfortable. This pack distributes the weight and is not bulky. With my previous backpack, it would get too heavy doing a lot of elevation change and this one was great and I had no problems with it getting in the way. I am so glad that I got this backpack and know I will use it all the time for my hikes. It has a nice amount of pockets and the sunglass pocket would hold a cell phone also and has nice protection. It was really nice getting the hydration system in and out of the pack to fill it and clean it. I love the magnetic holder so the mouthpiece is always handy when you want a drink.

Comments about OSPREY Women's Mira 34 Hydration Pack:
The stiffener sheet of the hydration reservoir press into the wearer's back if filled with more than about 2 liters, causing discomfort and limited air gap cooling effect. The stiffness of the cap retainer, and its tight fit to the cap, make it difficult to screw the cap on without cross-threading it--which of course causes it to leak. The pack itself is a nice day pack.
