Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Samsung UN46C6800 by Steve Kindig Why choose an LED-LCD TV? Reason #1: Awesome picture quality. The LED backlights in these higher-end LCD TVs can give you better picture contrast and more lifelike colors than sets with typical fluorescent backlighting. Reason #2: They're more energy-efficient than plasma or regular LCD TVs, helping you lower your monthly electric bill and helping the environment. An advanced LED backlight boosts contrast and lowers black levels Samsung is the leader when it comes to LED backlighting, and their UN46C6800 amplifies some key LED advantages. A feature called Precision Dimming allows the LEDs to brighten or dim in response to your video source, increasing picture contrast and lowering black levels, for a more cinema-like image. In addition to a breathtaking picture, this TV is web-ready, so you can think outside the cable box and get to more of the cool stuff you want to watch.

Video Features Audio Features PC/USB/Network Functions Convenience Features Remote Control Mounting Options Video Features LED Edge-Lighting with Precision Dimming: Samsung's 6800 series LED TV includes Samsung's Precision Dimming technology that merges the advantages of LED edge-lighting with the control of local dimming technology in directly back-lit LED televisions. Samsung's LED Edge-Lighting with Precision Dimming technology allows for an amazing 7,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and ultra-sharp blacks by allowing multiple LEDs to turn on an off automatically based on the image. Precision Dimming uses an array of special LEDs that create diamond-shaped areas of light to illuminate objects on the panel. These areas can vary in size and shape according to the light required, and an algorithm calculates where the light should be targeted to intensify contrast. The result is higher contrast ratios, deeper blacks, vibrant colors and enhanced energy efficiency. The LED backlight also provides more natural color representation and deep reds and greens, because Samsung uses white LEDs that produce 105% of the broadcast color gamut. Overall, this LED Backlight system produces contrast with stronger blacks and whites, and greater subtlety of every gradation in between. Ultra Clear Panel: With Samsung's Ultra Clear Panel colors are more vibrant, brighter, and clearer. This ultra clear panel technology also enhances contrast and reduces reflection so you can enjoy an overall outstanding viewing experience. HyperReal Engine: The Samsung LCD TV utilizes Samsung's HyperReal Engine picture enhancing technology for optimum color and contrast. Wide Color Enhancer Pro: The Samsung LED TV features Wide Color Enhancer Pro to provide more natural, realistic colors. The challenge of any TV screen is to recreate reality through color and light. Samsung met this challenge with its Wide Color Enhancer Pro feature. After analyzing each pixel, it stretches them to their 3-dimensional limit; resulting in full and lifelike colors. Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio: This LED TV has a 7,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, giving you brilliant brightness and contrast for superior picture and detail from both PC and TV images. Auto 120Hz Motion Plus: Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology virtually eliminates any motion blur and creates smooth transitions between frames. Auto Motion Plus calculates the image between frames and inserts it, creating a non-repetitive transition from one to the next. The result is a clearer picture than ever before. You can select from five Auto Motion Plus 120Hz settings Clear: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to minimum. Standard: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to medium. Smooth: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to maximum. Custom: Adjusts the blur and judder reduction level to suit your personal preference. Off: Switches Auto Motion Plus 120Hz off.

The 6800 series has great specs and delivers on all of them. With four preset display options and the option to tweek each of them to your preferences, you've just got to be pleased with what you see. The Dynamic setting adjusts for ambient light so you don't need those room darkening shades!!! :) ps: don't let the saleman point you to the 6300/6500 series; 'taint nothing like the 6800. May be not so available locally, but we got ours online and it was well protected for shipping. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

A single thread has the power to change the world, and

unlimited opportunities and create an undeniable network
of support for the women around them.
The inspiring discussion was led by three
leading ladies at various stages in their careers - a
Pioneer, a Principle and a Protégé - who refleced on
the importance of compassion, communication and
camaraderie between women and the valuable connections
that have helped them succeed.

Business and Life.

9 Excellent Segway Tours Around the World
A Segway tour is a great way to get an overview of a new city or region. You'll cover more ground than you would on foot, and your guide can teach you about the local history, suggest restaurants, and refer you to other great tours in the area. Plus, Segways are just fun to ride. Here are 10 awesome Segway tours to add to your bucket list.
Chicago: Several companies operate in Chicago, but Absolutely Chicago Segway offers a few unique options in addition to the standard tour past Grant Park, the Shedd Aquarium, Field Museum, and Soldier Field. We like the Chicago Gangster tour ($65) featuring the hangouts of Al Capone and other wise guys and the Chicago Haunted Tour ($65) that glides you past haunted hotels, murder sites, and even a morgue. If you are in town during Halloween, the guides dress up as ghouls for the haunted tour.
Europe's 10 Best Airport Hotels
While overnight layovers can be a great excuse to explore (albeit briefly) an unknown city, the reality is you often end up too far from the airport. On the other hand, airport-adjacent lodging is rarely anything to write home about. Thank goodness, then, for these ten European airport hotels offering comfort, a glimpse of local culture, and reasonable prices – all while remaining conveniently close to (or, in some cases, inside) the airport.
Around the World: Hot Chocolate 5 Ways
This winter, what better way to warm up than with a piping mug of hot chocolate? But don't just reach for a packet of Swiss Miss. There are much richer, bolder, more decadent concoctions out there. Here are five delicious indulgences from around the world – and where to find them…
1. Mexico City:Mexican hot chocolate is an update of an ancient Aztec drink that includes chili, cinnamon, anise, and other spices. The beverage is water-based with just a splash of milk and a pinch of sugar, so you can enjoy the chocolate's dark richness and subtle kick. For an unabashedly kitschy and fun experience, try the 24-hour Churreria el Moro, a hotspot also known for its churros in Mexico City. $5 for one hot chocolate and four churros.
This Week's Deal Destination: Madrid
If you're looking for an excuse to book a vacation to Spain, we have a good one for you this week: This 6-night trip to Madrid and Barcelona for $1009, including flights from New York City. (Other departure cities are available, too. Check the web site for pricing.)
Madrid in particular has caught our fancy lately. Once considered a dirtier, more hectic cousin to refined, seaside Barcelona, we've learned to appreciate this city's bustle, and its incredibly varied offerings for visitors, from stately museums to sleek dance clubs. And with amazing tapas and wine to be had for just a few Euros, it's a city that can be easy on your wallet. Here are just a couple of Madrid's charms we've learned about recently:
3 Things That Worry Us About Iberia's New MyBagTag Service
Over the weekend, Madrid-based airline Iberia announced a new service that allows passengers to print out their luggage tags at home, attach the tags themselves, and drop the bags at an express counter at the airport. The time-saving procedure has supposedly been tested at five airports throughout Spain – with success – though there are a few concerns that pop up in my head when I read about this… Read more
Monday Deal Alert: Book Early for Summer Savings
Believe it or not, summer is right around the corner. You may be sniffling from spring allergies now, but Memorial Day will be here before you know it, bringing warm temperatures, shortened work days, and summer vacations. Don't let the season sneak up on you; take advantage of the many early bird specials out there and book your summer travel now. Read more
Monday Deal Alert: International Travel Deals on Flights, Hotels & More
If you're looking to take an exotic vacation this season, we've got deals for you from all over the world; from Africa to Europe to the Caribbean islands. Stray outside of your comfort zone and take the journey you've always dreamed of; with these fantastic deals, you've got few excuses not to. Read more
Luxe for Less in Spain with Abercrombie & Kent
In the world of luxury travel, few providers hold a candle to Abercrombie & Kent. A&K travel conjures up images of elegant, five-star accommodations, customized itineraries with expert guides, the finest of Michelin-rated dining, and cushy modes of transportation. And, of course, the hefty price tag that comes with all of those extravagances.
Looking for all that glitz on a budget? Consider A&K Connections, a new line of luxurious journeys for small groups of 24-28 guests that offers 17 itineraries from six continents. Some of the available destinations include Australia, France, India, Morocco, and Peru. I recently joined A&K on a preview of their "Spain: Seven Cities tour" to see firsthand what Connections is all about.
The cities that make up the title include Barcelona, Granada, Marbella, Gibraltar, Seville, Cordoba, and Madrid. Tally up the day-trips to Malaga, Ronda, and Jerez, however, and you're looking at a whopping ten cities packed into a ten-day tour. The preview trip was condensed into seven-days. Needless to say, at times, this felt like a break-neck pace, even with Gibraltar sliced off the itinerary. I'd imagine the ten-day version to be just slightly less speedy.
Despite the pace, it's hard to say which part of the trip I would eliminate to slow things down. In retrospect, it's easy to see why Simon Butler-Madden, an A&K vet who built many of the Connections itineraries, included all the sights we saw; the trip provides a cohesive overview of Spain's diverse history, and how that history affected all aspects of modern Spanish and Catalonian culture.

$149+: Trendy ME Madrid Hotel Offers Exclusive ShermansTravel Deal
Set at the epicenter of Spain's capital city on the lively, cafe-lined Plaza de Santa Ana, hip hotel ME Madrid Reina Victoria is now offering ShermansTravel readers an exclusive discount on their design-savvy digs, with reduced rates from just $149 per night (a savings of as much as 35 percent off) throughout 2012, with plenty of extras thrown in, including a complimentary room upgrade, late checkout, VIP guest status, and more.
The hotel is a hotbed for hobnobbing celebrity A-listers (the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry have counted amongst recent guests) and "it" nightspots popular with its hip hotel clientele and local scenesters alike. At the rooftop bar, The Roof's (hotel guests are granted VIP access), views are even more intoxicating than their signature ME Mojitos, while the new Mint Terrace sidewalk tapas bar debuted this summer, offering an alfresco oasis for tapas and a choice selection of beers and wines.
What's The Best Street Food You Ever Ate? Tell Us To Win!
Lonely Planet has come out with a new guide to the world's best street food – and, it's a cookbook!
My weak "Twilight Zone" joke aside, The World's Best Street Food really is one part guidebook, one part cookbook. The book identifies the planet's top one hundred can't-miss street treats, revealing their origins and the best places to find them. For the home cook itching to replicate these delicacies, recipes are helpfully tagged as easy, medium, or complex. And, of course, having the ingredients handy will help parents determine if these foods will be potentially problematic for their families, whether they're trying them in the destination or at home.
25 Seductive Valentine's Day Packages
Romance is revving up all over the place during the month of February, from sun-kissed beaches to sophisticated big cities. Here are 25 deals and packages – from Fort Lauderdale to Fiji, Maine to Madrid, and St. Kitts to Sedona – that you can still book to make this Valentine's Day the most memorable ever:
The Grand Del Mar: Unplug and relax with the "Disconnect Package" at the luxurious The Grand Del Mar near San Diego (shown above at left) and you'll get one night's accommodations (with the room TV unplugged and upgrade upon booking if available), berry-infused champagne cocktail upon arrival, choice of a 60-minute couples massage, or a 2-hour horseback ride for two, breakfast in bed for two, and late checkout, from $795/night.

Eat, Shop, and Play in triBall, Madrid's Trendiest 'Hood
Once a gritty district populated with brothels, the "Triangle of Ballesta" (aka triBall) – so named for the shape that the streets of Gran Vía, Corredera Baja de San Pablo, and Fuencarral form around the main Calle Ballesta – has become the Spanish capital's latest avant-garde epicenter. Shop-owners like Beatriz Tabara, who opened a clothing boutique-combo-café last fall called Scarly, epitomize the hood's enterprising vibe. "Everyone has their own story," says Tabara of triBall's business owners. "But many of them are professionals who took the leap to make their hobbies a way of life." Tabara, also a full-time attorney, reveals some favorite spots in the emerging barrio.

Namely: 1) We, as TechCrunch, will probably never ever ever, ever ever host a European cloud-computing conference and someone sure as heck needs to. 2) The folks at Gigaom are our friends, particularly founder, thought leader and king of the kind… Read More

The dancers of Ad Deum are planning a trip to New York, and they want you to pay for it. But they don't mind singing or at least dancing for their supper. In fact, they've worked extra-hard on the five new pieces that they will present in their show Lovers of God/Dancing for Man. Ad Deum was founded with a Christian mission, but they're not preachy. Heck, one of the pieces, "Rainbows for the Fallen," will include a soundtrack by Enya.

CHICAGO | The glitziest Blackhawks commercial hasn't been produced, but it should go like this.
Tough guys Andrew Shaw (at the point), Bryan Bickell, Brandon Bollig and 6-foot-6 Jimmy Hayes are out in front, challenging all comers. Behind them are Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa, sporting battle-tested expressions with sticks ready for business.
Backing up the shooters are capable blueliners Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Johnny Oduya. Finally, as the last line of defense, is goalie Corey Crawford.
Of all the Hawks, the man with the 1.88 goals-against average in the playoffs last spring has the biggest target affixed to his hide. If the Hawks are now every opponent's Stanley Cup Finals, the only way they'll truly get a bite out of the champs is to get the puck past Crawford.
"Teams are definitely going to be ready for us, and I think that's only going to make us better," Crawford said. "We're playing high intensity games every night."
Crawford and his teammates worked up an extra sweat without any honeymoon from their championship-banner raising Tuesday night. The Washington Capitals were first among a league-full of Hawks-envious foes. And they hit the bulls-eye more than expected before falling, 6-4.
Where was that stingy penalty-kill from that championship season? Consigned to the history books as the Capitals nailed three power-play goals against Crawford. The Caps' Mikhail Grabovski tallied a hat trick, including two power-play goals.
Making matters worse, Joakim Nordstrom's delay-of-game penalty right on the heels of Patrick Sharp's interference-on-goalie infraction gave the Caps a 5-on-3 advantage for nearly 90 seconds going into the last three minutes. Somehow Crawford and his diminished band of defenders fought that off, then endured another man disadvantage when Washington pulled goalie Braden Holtby.
The bizarre finish included Marian Hossa being awarded the Hawks' final goal when he was pulled down by two defenders while charging the empty net.
Crawford thus bent, but he didn't break. That's another sign of a top goalie.
"It was definitely a tough one to start," he said. "They brought the pace and one of the best power plays I think in the league right now. We gave up too many (power-play) goals.
"It's funny, that it came down to it where we were able to kill it off. We got some big blocks and some good pressure to clear the zone. Our guys did amazing at the end, 5-on-3."
Imagine, six more months of this sandwiched around the Olympic break. Nobody's giving the Hawks an opening cakewalk to celebrate the 2013 Stanley Cup.
Fans turned the United Center Show into thousands of points of light a half hour before the banner ceremony as red and white flashers distributed to most of the 22,158 blinked on and off in a darkened arena. Hawks chairman Rocky Wirtz – meriting a standing ovation -- and coach Joel Quenneville drew the largest cheers before the Stanley Cup banner was hoisted next to its 2010 counterpart, now one of a quintet of Hawks title flags in the UC rafters.
By plowing through similar minefields like Tuesday, Crawford will have a lot to do with whether a sixth banner goes up in a year.
"We take pride in it (picks to repeat as champs)," he said. "We want to be No. 1, to get to the Stanley Cup. Last year we never got ahead of ourselves and we're not going to do that this year."

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- A man accused of stealing a garbage truck in Boulder this week may have been scared by officers responding to an unrelated call near his home.
The Daily Camera reports that a neighbor told police that 26-year-old Daniel Morkert got "freaked" when officers arrived in the area Wednesday afternoon.
According to the police report, Morkert came out of his apartment building with his pit bull and asked an officer if he could borrow his car. The officer assumed he was joking. Morkert then allegedly got into garbage truck with his dog while the driver was out moving a dumpster and took off.
Morkert led officers on a low-speed chase down U.S. 36 until he crashed over a median in Broomfield.
Prosecutors are expected to file charges against him Tuesday.

students with disabilities and English language learners in NAEP can be evaluated, based on an articulation of the target skills being measured and the content of the assessment tasks in a particular assessment.
The committee commissioned a review of NAEP's reading and math frameworks with two goals in mind. First, we wanted to identify the constructs—targeted skills and knowledge—measured by the assessments and the associated ancillary skills required to perform the assessment tasks (see Hansen and Steinberg, 2004). We also wanted to evaluate the validation argument associated with use of specific accommodations on these assessments and to examine possible sources of alternate interpretations of scores. The resulting paper develops Bayes nets ("belief networks" that represent the interrelationships among many variables) to represent the test developer's conceptions of target and ancillary skills and the role of specific accommodations. The authors analyzed these models to evaluate the validity of specific accommodations. The reader is referred to Hansen et al. (2003) for an in-depth treatment of this topic.
In the text that follows, we summarize the Hansen et al. analysis of the NAEP reading and mathematics frameworks. We then draw on the work of Hansen, Mislevy, and their colleagues (Hansen and Steinberg, 2004; Hansen et al., 2003; Mislevy et al., 2002, 2003) to provide a very basic introduction to the development of an inference-based validation argument. We then discuss two examples, one adapted from Hansen and Steinberg (2004); see also Hansen et al., (2003) (a visually impaired student taking the NAEP reading assessment) and one that the committee developed (an English language learner taking the NAEP reading assessment).
According to the framework document, the NAEP reading assessment "measures comprehension by asking students to read passages and answer questions about what they have read" (National Assessment Governing Board, 2002a, p. 5). NAEP reading tasks are designed to evaluate skills in three reading contexts: reading for literary experience, reading for information, and reading to perform a task (p. 8). The tasks and questions also evaluate students' skills in four aspects of reading: forming a general understanding, developing interpretations, making reader-text connections, and examining content and structure (p. 11). These skills are considered by reading researchers to be components of reading comprehension. We note here that there are no explicit statements in the NAEP reading framework document to indicate that the assessment designers believe that decoding or fluency are part of the targeted proficiency (Hansen and Steinberg, 2004).
The NAEP mathematics assessment measures knowledge of mathematical content in five areas: number properties and operations, measurement, geometry, data analysis and probability, and algebra (National Assessment Governing

MOSCOW – The Bolshoi Ballet artistic director, Sergei Filin — who was injured early this year in an acid attack that nearly blinded him — made a happy, if temporary, return to the historic Moscow theater on Tuesday as the company officially opened its 238th season.
The first performance of the theater's season was an opera, "The Queen of Spades", but attention lingered on the violence and intrigue that has consumed the ballet troupe in recent months. And it seems likely to continue to do so, as a Bolshoi dancer, Pavel Dmitrichenko, is set to go to trial in October on charges of orchestrating the attack.
Mr. Dmitrenchko has pleaded not guilty, saying he arranged for two men to beat Mr. Filin but did not know that acid would be thrown in his face. Mr. Filin, 42, flew to Moscow on Saturday from Germany, where he spent seven months being treated at a specialty clinic.
After 23 operations his eyesight is only partly restored, and he has said that he will have to return to Germany for further treatment and rehabilitation. Although he was involved in planning this ballet season's program — which will begin on Nov. 9 with "Marco Spada," produced by the French choreographer Pierre Lacotte — it is unclear if Mr. Filin will ever be able to resume his full duties with the company.

RV & Motorhome Registration in KansasPage Overview
Motor homes, campers, and recreational vehicles (RVs) are registered with the Kansas Department of Revenue (DOR) under a separate type of RV title, though the registration process itself is the same as registering a passenger vehicle.
The DOR also collects property tax on RVs and motor homes when they are initially registered.
Keep reading for more information about RV registration in Kansas, including an explanation of what qualifies as an RV, renewing a registration, and an explanation of the taxes associated with RV purchase and registration.
What Is an RV or Motorhome?
An RV, according to Kansas law, is a vehicle or "vehicular-type unit" built on a chassis, that has been designed for use as temporary living quarters for camping, vacation, travel and general recreation. In addition, an RV must also have these features:
- Electrical system stronger than 12 volts.
- Provisions for plumbing.
- Wired for area heating.
The law further states that an RV is required to have its own "motive power" or be "mounted on or drawn by another vehicle." The body must not exceed 102 inches in width, and the length must not be longer than 45 feet.
Registering an RV in Kansas
The registration process for an RV is the same as for a passenger vehicle, but the DMV uses a different method for calculating the property tax on recreational vehicles. This method is explained below in the section "Property Taxes for Kansas RVs."
Renewing a KS RV Registration
Just as with any other registration renewal, you should receive a renewal notice in the mail before the expiration of the RV's registration. Follow the instructions in the renewal packet to renew the registration on your RV or motorhome.
KS Property Taxes
You will be required to pay the property tax on your motorhome when you initially register it with the Kansas DOR.
The calculations used for assessing the property tax on an RV, motorhome, or camper are based on the age of the vehicle and the vehicle size and weight:
- 5 years old or less: $70, plus $0.90 per 100 lbs. of weight.
- 6 years old to 10 years old: $50, plus $0.70 per 100 lbs. of weight.
- 11 years old or older: $30, plus $0.50 per 100 lbs. of weight.
- 1981 and older models: $30 flat rate (there is no weight fee).
For more details on the age, weight, and size calculations for RV and motorhome property tax figures, you can contact your local county treasurer's office.
Manufactured or Mobile Homes
Mobile homes and manufactured homes are not registered as vehicles, but they are required to be titled. The title must be transferred if the home is sold to a new owner; if the title is missing, the seller must apply for a replacement.
Sales tax must be paid on new mobile or manufactured homes; it is not required on homes that were previously owned.
For more information about titling a mobile home or manufactured home, see the DOR's questions and answers page.Other Topics in This SectionBe a Hero
