"Back Row" is all about recapturing the magic of going to the cinema in your own home. The skin has been designed with this aim in mind but has taken on board many good ideas and suggestions from the XBMC community. Over the years it has become a polished theme that can be easily customized to suit your needs. So go grab some popcorn and fool around on the Back Row. Whether you are mostly into music, movies, or tv shows, this is very well balanced to accommodate your needs. It has a lot of skin feature's to further customize things, and also includes "Newest Episodes" and "Newest Movies" windows on the main page to enable quick selections.

Well, we have been going pretty strong in the xbox-scene skin forums, which most all of us stem from until the xbmc forums came around. And are pretty known amongst them. But i figured since over time the xbmc official forums were around, it only made sense to also get a proper thread here as well. I honestly view the thread's here more often then i view the xbox-scene thread's. (The only ones i actually even viewed there were the XBMC threads anyway.) But thought since it was such a great theme, and so many XBMC users were pretty familiar and aware of "Front Row", it was only deserving to have a gallery page and forum thread on the official xbmc forums.
If you google search, you will even find an official wiki page mentioning and showing images of Front Row Theme. I just thought, with all the ones out there, a lot in my opinion not even coming close to the beauty (MY opinion 0nly.) to the other ones out there already having an official thread on the XBMC site, and yet have been around longer then quite a number of them, it only made sense to give it the proper respect it deserved. Sharpe is a friend of mine, and has worked so hard at tailoring it to be what the community has wanted in it, and he's complied in almost every way.
He's always been pretty amazing with adding almost every good idea in a theme. Making it be the best of what we all want a theme to be and have.

I had no idea this skin existed....
It's VERY good.... not perfect, but highly stable and with a few tweaks might be the skin for me!
I will play with the skin a little more before offering any suggestions.... but so far, it's quick, stable and easy to use....

ok... Issues I've found:
Fanart Wrap view for Movies (and TV Shows)
The 'current' selected Movie (or TV show) is not central... it's one position too far to the left (i.e. 3rd from the left). I understand it's to make the 'info' transition nice and easy (and just slots into the right hand side nicely... but it looks odd. It might be nicer to slide the current movie to the left as the info appears, and slide back to the right (middle) afterwards?
Ken Burns effect on background
It's a little jerky, but acceptable... probably a PC performance issue more than the skin... but Aeon65 skin seems smoother (might be placebo effect)
Fanart Wrap view for Music
Doesn't seem to be any ability to 'auto' show info (even if it's set in the settings)... waited 5, and 30 seconds... saw nothing.
A manual 'up' option would be nice to bring up the info for an artist or album
Album Fanart
There doesn't appear to be support for album fanart (fanart stored in the Album folder... which is now natively supported by XBMC)
Fanart General
It would be nice to have a more general support for fanart in all views.... either on, or off. There are some great views that don't support fanart... if they did, it would be great.
Track List views
The views already provided are 'ok'... but for track listings... it's very hard to justify Jukebox, Wall, Fanart Wrap etc etc... which all result in the same album cover image being repeated multiple times on screen. As beautiful as those views are, I feel they are a bad choice for track lists, and therefore, something like Aeon65's lowlist.... (a less obtrusive version of list) might be nicer. A sexy sleek 'list' is almost certainly the better option for track lists.
Music Videos (Videos) in Home screen
There doesn't seem to be an option to disable this menu item in the Home screen, yet there is such an option for other for other items. (It should also be noted that TV and Movies share the same visibility option, and it could be argued they should each have their own option).
No option for conditional weather backgrounds (that I can see)... this is common now in most skins. There IS an option to support multiple images for weather, but doesn't seem to be conditional upon the actual weather.
Home Screen Menu Positioning
I would argue that a horizontal menu running through the MIDDLE of the screen is likely to wreck 80% of background images, and would be better placed towards the bottom of the screen. Yes, this IS a personal preference, but also based on the rule of thirds in photography, where most of the important image data lies in the top 2/3's of an image. (I know there are many exceptions, but a menu right through the very middle is a generally a bad choice)
Home Screen filmstrip
just an idea, but it MIGHT benefit from a 'zoomed' focus... i.e. the currently selected frame being zoomed/enlarged.
Happy as it is... just a thought
DVD Case Wrap
Very sexy view indeed.... fanart would be welcomed... PLUS, possibly use cdart.png in the movie folder to display the ACTUAL CD art (otherwise use the existing image as fallback)... Spinning might be nice too... or possibly overkill?... and well, this is a VERY outlandish thought.... after a short period of time showing the case open view.... animate yet again to mimic a rear cover (zooming to show the movie info)?
If you DID support fanart in this view... similar issue as the previous item regarding placing the images in the middle of the screen rather than towards the bottom.
Ok that's all for now...
REALLY loving this skin. It's slick... as slick as some of the newer skins coming out... a few more tweaks and I think a LOT of fanart fans will jump on this skin (since the newer skins are setting a trend of playing down the fanart)

Very nice skin.
Simple , clean .... I like it a lot.
I pretty much agree with AnalogKid`s comments. Especially the addition of fanart in all views would be great

Hey!! Nice to see this skin again. Thanks for keeping it up to date Sharpe and djdafreund
What happen to the giant icon for the home screen ex.Movies,Tv.Music.
Has anybody tried this on the xbox? Is it still being built for the xbox or HTPCs? Using the Smaller film strip setup, I get very so slow and choppy movement, and I alot of times I have to reboot my xbox just from going it and out of menus.
I would love to see a lowered textures pack
Thanks again

Here's the thing with the xbox. It has always been kept compatible with the xbox, and a lot of skins dropped worrying about if it worked or not since the xbmc even dropped development anymore on the xbox format, other then bug fixes and such. It was mentioned on the main site.
Now, in 4x3 mode, it will use the smaller filmstrip, and in 16x9/16x9 modes, it uses the wider strip, which is great so you can see more of the strip when quickly moving through it. Easier at a glance kind of thing. It's hard to balance keeping things down to working great and fast on the xbox, and that becomes a hinderance with the whole concept of HDTV systems, which is where the majority of focus on XBMC has been. And why the hard development towards other smaller PC system's that run it, so we can use it as a substitute for XBOX'S for the same price, but gain much more advantage's, as well as playing HD content, and not being limited to lower resolution / smaller texture's / graphics to keep the xbox from getting sluggish, which more and more is no longer becoming a focus.
With that in mind, it should work just fine in 720p on xbox, as i've been using only Back Row on it for years, and never had much issue's with speed. Now, in 1080 mode, sure, it's a little slower, but you can't do much for that, considering your talking about a 733mhz or something processor with not much memory and not much video ram to handle it. But 720p still looks beautiful. But that's why they pushed the focus and porting over to other systems like linux and windows and max and iTV and such, as they are much better to handle, and we don't want to stay with much limiting our capabilities just because of the xbox. Granted we still like that it still works fine, but they have ALWAYS said, don't bother getting much of performance using anything higher modes then 720p, that's just expected due to the hardware limitations.
I agree with Sharpe (NICE TO SEE YA HERE NOW!!!YAY!!!) about some good feedback comments and feature's. I will be helping to make some of the remaining HD images to finish things off. The biggest thing we've been sitting on that mostly is honestly because of trying not to kill things from working on the xbox still. But this is going to be discussed. What we can do to keep things working ok, but yet not having to sacrifice limiting ourselves on all the machine's it's used on, JUST for the sake of the xbox system.
In other words, we don't want the theme not be kept downgraded of it's potential, JUST because of one system that is outdated and not supported even. Scary i know, since we've loved the xbox for so long, and was so basic in it's XBMP days. It's grown so largely and fast really with functionality. But every product after so much time, like it or not, becomes outdated due to it's hardware. We, just like XBMC want to grow, as technology opens up more and more capabilities.
I hope that helps understand the direction and also about the xbox.
One thing, about the filmstrip in the bottom. That was already done, and the thing about it is, as someone also really big into graphics and art, the focus of attention is usually towards the center of the object, which when it's put at the bottom, you really loose a lot of the focus level point. Maybe an option perhaps, but it really does best kept at the center. I do have some other idea's in mind that i will touch base with Sharpe to see what he thinks. And i will do the graphics to help pull it off.

Very, very nice. Thanks for sharing it here. Although one could find a few missing things (media flagging in file views), my impression is this is well thought out and nicely done skin which is fun to use! Very clean and to not bloated with every feature XBMC skin could offer - like combining info, flags, cover, trailers, banners and fanart all in one view.
I have only one suggestion for now - keep it this way and do not add all kinds of stuff to it. We already have skins or mods with that kind of views, but there are not many of them like back-row.

I think it's right to stick trying to keep the skin working for all platforms... it's too easy to start favouring one platform and harnessing the performance that (say linux) might offer. I love the fact that the skin is still pretty small and yet keeps the appearance of a high end UI.
I cannot agree with the center being the focus of attention... it's well documented and proven in countless design techniques and UI's that the top 3rd grabs most attention.... and for a general image... top two thirds... there are lots of reasons for this... but it's not the end of the world to keep the home menu in the middle. It's one person's opinion over another's (the Aeon skin offered the option between middle and bottom).
That said... you can go overboard with 'options' too... might just be easier for someone to say "if you want to change the menu position... modify line 97 of home.xml" (for instance)
It's very hard NOT to sound critical when folks want to help enhance a UI... and also, there's a danger of go faster stripes making the UI look worse, not better... So please.. don't think any thoughts are criticisms (I don't think you think that anyway).
I'm very impressed with this skin, which is why I made a few comments... I think it has places to go!
Hope you can keep up the good work.... I think you user base is starting to increase!

A Feast for the Eyes and Taste Buds on the Napa Valley Wine Train
It took many years for us to realize that the Napa Valley Wine train was a phenomenal experience just a short trip from San Francisco.
My first journey had me enjoying a gourmet winter's day lunch. The gourmet lunch car with its white table cloths, fresh flowers, and fine china was just right for me. The sky was a clear blue and the air crisp. The train ambled along through bright yellow fields of mustard flowers. The blackened thriving vineyard trunks seemed to stretch their arms and reach to the sky as if relishing their well deserved winter vacation. I found the dining service combined a European flair with American friendliness. I dined on a salad with the freshest and most interesting of ingredients and enjoyed a steak tender to the touch. As we reached the St. Helena turnaround station, I was guided to the lounge car with its wood paneling and revolving chairs. I was surrounded by the hum of smiling well-fed passengers who spoke in soft tones in awe of the beauty of the wine country. The sweetness of the perfect chocolate mousse was only surpassed by the richness of the surroundings.
On my second trip this year, I was fortunate to introduce my friends to the Napa Valley Wine Train experience. We treated ourselves to a limousine and had it pick us up at each of our homes in Pacifica, Daly City, and San Francisco. During the drive up on Angelica Limousines, we giggled at our extravagance while anticipating of a fun day filled with good friends, food, and scenery.
The green lushness of the fully clad vineyards was a sharp contrast to the winter's view. Our first seating was in the lounge car. We sat in the tapestry covered booths at the end of the train car. We enjoyed easy access to the back of train car where we could bask in the same sun that was beaming on the lush vines covered with green leaves. We spotted tiny grapes underneath the elegantly shaped leaves. We laughed with our fellow passengers from Wyoming, Europe, and Japan. A little boy shared his excitement from viewing the train's kitchen car so of course we walked and wobbled along the moving train to see it too. In the lounge car, we enjoyed a gourmet appetizer. One friend ordered a specially made Ramos Fizz drink while the rest of us chose glasses of wine from the excellent and wonderfully priced wine list. Understandably, the train servers were more challenged to serve the increased numbers of summer passengers. They maintained their professionalism and the quality of the gourmet food remained excellent from the tender steak to tasty fish dishes. And as a group of women, we all admired the old-fashioned train rest-room with real towels.
My next Napa Valley Wine Train adventure will be to share a full moon winter's night dinner in the dome car or to enjoy a unique Thanksgiving dining experience. My preference for time of year is more likely to take advantage of the smaller winter crowd.
My friends and I agree, the Napa Valley Wine Train is a movable feast rolling through a living Van Gogh painting

Just what I was looking for Very easy to use. Love the dispenser, was a great buy and find for the price. May 26, 2014
Performance Ipurchased this for Fathers Day, we had to wait a long time for it to make ice once it started it was fine. The price was high, but my husband loved it. June 16, 2014

Answer:Thank you for your question. Although the ice compartment is insulated, it does not work as a refrigerator. The Ice Dispenser will continuously make ice until the basket is full, but ice will start melting eventually and be replaced with fresh ice if there is water in reservoir.

Semester Expenses
Payment Process
Fee Payment (All Students)
ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE PAYMENT DEADLINE. No paper bill will be sent. Check your account and get a printout of your charges at UAOnline.
Students are not considered registered for any courses until all tuition and fees are paid or other payment arrangements have been made by the fee payment deadline.
An electronic bill will be generated for you on or about the 15th of each month and made available via UAOnline. A reminder will be sent via email each time a new bill is generated. It is your responsibility to check your email address regularly. A link on the UAOnline "Statement and Payment History" page will take you to the page where you can pay with credit card or electronic check. To view your bill, go to UAOnline and choose "Student Services & Account Information" from the main menu, then "Student Account," then "Statement and Payment History."
Other than tuition, fees, housing and dining, which are due according to the schedule, any charges owed to the university are due within 30 days of when they are incurred to avoid additional late fees.
Payment Options
Pay online: Pay with Visa/MasterCard/Discover or electronic check on the web at UAOnline. Be sure to review your account status after payment is confirmed.
Pay by mail: Mail your full payment to arrive by 5 p.m. on the fee payment deadline. Payments received after this date will be assessed late fees. Make checks payable to UAF and mail to: University of Alaska Fairbanks, P.O. Box 757640, Fairbanks, AK 99775-7640.
Pay in person: See the schedule of dates and times.
NOTE: If you are paying with a debit card or have a daily limit on your credit card, contact your bank to tell them you are paying university tuition and fees to ensure your card won't be declined.
International payments: Visit www.peertransfer.com/school/uaf/ to make a payment or for more information.
Consequences of Not Paying Tuition and Fees
Failure to pay your tuition and fees in full or make other payment arrangements by the final fee payment deadline may result in cancellation of your class schedule. UAF may withhold transcripts, grades and other services, and cancel meal plans and housing if you do not pay your financial obligations. If the university takes such action, you will still be responsible for your account balance in full. Registration may be withheld from any student who is delinquent in paying any amount due to the university. The registration process is not complete until the student has paid all fees and charges due to the university. The university may drop you from your courses after the fee payment deadline if you owe a balance to the university. A $100 reinstatement fee will be charged to re-enroll in dropped courses. Students have until the fourth Friday of the semester to re-enroll in dropped courses.
Failure To Meet Financial Obligations
University policy requires a financial hold be placed on your student account if you fail to meet your financial obligations. The hold will prevent any registration, transcript or graduation activity.
Past due accounts may be sent to a collection agency. Interest, late fees and/or collection costs will be added to your account. Past due accounts may be reported to a local credit bureau. The university is authorized to garnish Alaska Permanent Fund Dividends for payment of past due accounts.
Graduate Students
If you are a graduate student who has been awarded a research or teaching assistantship or graduate fellowship, you must bring a copy of your contract letter to the Office of the Graduate School, 202 Eielson Building, every semester that your contract is valid to have your tuition scholarship and graduate student health insurance payments posted to your account.
If you have questions, please contact the Graduate School at 907-474-7464, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. (Alaska time).
How Tuition Is Calculated
Tuition is determined by the following:
- the number of credit hours in which you are enrolled,
- the level (e.g., 100-level, 200-level) of the course, and
- your residency status.
Students taking 4 or fewer credits are charged at the resident rate.
An online tuition calculator is available.
Tuition by Course Level
|Course level
(per credit)
(per credit)
|100 - 200
|300 - 400
Full-Time Status
You are considered a full-time student if you enroll in 12 or more credits as an undergraduate or 9 or more credits as a graduate student.
Resident and Non-Resident Tuition
All students should check their residency status and tuition charges each semester when they register. Electronic processes, such as a new application, may cause a student's status to change from one semester to the next.
In general, students are expected to have resided in Alaska for the prior two years to be eligible for resident tuition. However, there are additional criteria to meet the eligibility requirements. In the past two years, students must NOT have:
- been absent from Alaska for an aggregate of more than 120 days other than documented absences due to illness or attendance at another educational institution while maintaining Alaska residency;
- acted inconsistently with Alaska residency, such as claiming residency in another state or voting as a resident of another state;
- registered as a resident at an educational institution in another state; or
- paid tuition at the University of Alaska Western Undergraduate Exchange program rate.
Proof of eligibility for the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend is the standard accepted documentation of residency. You also need to complete a UAF residency application. Other specific proof of residency, as outlined at www.pfd.state.ak.us, may be accepted.
- PFD proof of eligibility -- Submit a copy of your most recent Form 1099 or go to http://pfd.alaska.gov, click on "Check Application Status," follow the instructions, print the final page that shows "approved, paid, or eligible" and submit it with your UAF residency application.
Students graduating from a qualified Alaska high school within one year of enrollment AND enrolling in a degree program will automatically be considered residents when they provide their high school transcript.
Other exemptions of the non-resident surcharge may be permissible. More information may be obtained at www.alaska.edu/studentservices/student/residency-form/.
Senior Citizen Tuition Waiver
UA Board of Regents policy waives regular tuition for Alaska residents at the age of eligibility for full Social Security retirement benefits. You are eligible to use the senior citizen tuition waiver and enroll in UAF courses if:
- you are a permanent resident of Alaska;
- you are age-eligible to receive full Social Security retirement benefits; and
- there is space (i.e., no waitlist) in the class or classes you want.
You must register in person and not until the first day of instruction to use a senior tuition waiver. You must meet both age and residency requirements by one of the following dates to be eligible for the corresponding semester: Sept. 1 for fall; Jan. 1 for spring; May 1 for summer. Reimbursements will not be made to senior citizens who pay for a course and then request a waiver. Please call 907-474-7384 for more information.
Employee Tuition Waiver
Employee tuition waivers cover the cost of 16 credits per academic year (up to 8 credits per semester) for university employees. Tuition waivers are accepted for the current semester and cannot be applied to prior terms. Other criteria:
- Tuition waivers cover tuition only.
- The employee must have been employed for at least six months prior to the first day of instruction.
- Tuition waiver forms must be turned in by the fee payment deadline.
- The employee is responsible for paying all other fees by the payment deadline.
- Tuition waivers must be signed by the employee. A supervisor's signature is required if the class takes place during the employee's work day.
- Reimbursements will not be made to employees/dependents who pay for a course or courses and later become eligible for the waiver.
- Dependents must be under the age of 24 on the first day of instruction to be eligible.
- Waivers found to be ineligible will be reversed and the students will be responsible for payment of the waived tuition.
- Late fees and payment deadlines apply to those using tuition waivers.
To be eligible for education benefits, undergraduate students must maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA; graduate students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0.
Please mail or fax waivers well in advance of the last day of fee payment to the Office of the Bursar at P.O. Box 757640 or 907-474-5898. You may also email the waiver to email@example.com.

Add/Drop (Swap)

Parking permits purchased and not received or purchased and returned by the fee payment deadline are refundable, less a $5 processing fee. Health insurance will be credited to your account if a total withdrawal takes place within the first 31 days of the insurance policy coverage. If you withdraw for medical reasons, you may appeal the reversal of your insurance enrollment with the Student Health and Counseling Center.
Exceptions to Policy: Appeal for Refund of Tuition
Appeals for refund of tuition are exceptions to policy and are only allowed in exceptional cases. Approval is not automatic, and you need to provide documented evidence to support your request. Acceptable serious and compelling reasons may include: 1) death in immediate family; 2) serious illness or injury of student or immediate family; and 3) factors outside student's control (for example, fire, flood). Not receiving expected financial aid, or failing to comply with published deadlines or regulations are not serious and compelling reasons to seek a refund and will not be approved.
Appeals for refund of tuition must be submitted within 30 class days after the beginning of the next regular semester. Forms for an appeal for refund of tuition are available online, through the Bursar's Office in Signers' Hall at the Fairbanks campus or through local campus student services offices. Once received, the appeal will be evaluated by a campuswide committee which will return a decision to the student. The decision of the committee is final and a student who files a written appeal under these procedures shall be expected to abide by the final disposition of the review, as provided, and may not seek further appeal of the matter under any other procedure within the university. Submission of appeals and appropriate documentation after published deadlines will not be considered. Contact the UAF Bursar's Office for more information.
In order for the committee to consider your appeal for a refund for a class, you must be fully withdrawn from the class. To withdraw from your class or classes, complete the Total Withdrawal or Late Withdrawal form (whichever is appropriate) and submit it to the Office of Admissions and the Registrar. Forms can be found online at www.uaf.edu/reg/forms/ or at the Office of Admissions and the Registrar.
Refund Processing
Financial aid will be disbursed to student accounts on the first day of class and the Bursar's Office will begin processing refunds at that time. Contact the Bursar's Office for an advance of funds if you need your funds for books and supplies.
Refund processing is automatic for students who officially drop courses by published refund deadlines. Remember to return parking permits if you drop during the 100 percent refund time.
All refunds are processed electronically or by mail. The Bursar's Office does not issue refund checks for amounts less than $10. It is your responsibility to check your account and contact the Bursar's Office to receive your refund as cash or to apply it to your PolarExpress card as a nonrefundable payment.
If you paid tuition and fees by credit card only, the card will be credited up to the amount charged.
If your tuition was paid through external sources such as financial aid, federal loans, scholarships or grants, you will receive your refund as a check sent to your mailing address of record or direct-deposited in your bank account.
Once processed by the Bursar's Office, direct deposit takes 3-5 business days to disburse to your bank account.
Your refund is subject to federal regulations. If you receive a refund due to dropped classes or a total withdrawal, you may no longer qualify to receive scholarships or financial aid. In that case, the funds may be returned to the lender or grantor pursuant to all applicable rules and regulations.
If you paid by cash or check, a refund check will be sent to your mailing address of record, or direct-deposited in your bank account. If you notify the Bursar's Office that you have not received the check due to an incorrect address, a fee of $18.50 will be charged for all checks reissued due to a stop pay request by the student. Please be sure your current mailing address is on file.
If you paid your tuition and fees by check, refund processing will begin after your check has cleared the bank.
Any balance owed to the university will be deducted from your refund.
Students who drop during the 100 percent refund period and want to maintain health insurance coverage should contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at 907-474-7043.
Direct Deposit of Refunds
Enrolling in direct deposit allows your refunds to be electronically deposited into your bank account. It's simple, safe and convenient. Enrollment is available through our secure self-service website. Sign up for direct deposit of your refund through UAOnline by following these steps:
- At the "Student Services & Accounting Information" menu select the "Direct Deposit Enrollment" link.
- Select "1st time setup of direct deposit"
- Select the account type
- Enter the bank routing code
- Enter account number
- Re-enter account number
- Select "Submit"
Financial Aid
Many students receive some sort of financial aid from either the state of Alaska, federal government or institutional programs. Complete the required FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid, online at www.fafsa.ed.gov); the application process may take up to six weeks. The Financial Aid Office, located in 107 Eielson, has all the necessary applications.
The majority of financial aid awards will appear as credits applied to your student account, unless you are receiving a check from an outside agency.
Financial Aid Reminders
To be eligible for financial aid, you must:
- Be admitted to a UAF degree or certificate program and meet satisfactory academic progress standards.
- Be an undergraduate enrolled in 12 or more credits (or a graduate student enrolled in 9 or more graduate-level credits) if receiving full-time funding. Waitlisted, audit and year-long correspondence study classes do not count toward determining your full-time student status.
- Complete online entrance counseling if receiving a Federal Direct Loan for the first time.
If your guaranteed financial aid or loans will not arrive before the last day to pay tuition and fees, you must arrange for a payment plan with the Bursar's Office.
Before the last day of fee payment, you must make arrangements to pay tuition and fees, including housing if you are living on campus. A payment plan can be arranged if disbursement of financial aid for fall 2014 will be delayed past the payment deadline. You must pay tuition and fees by that time or late fees will apply. Contact the Bursar's Office if you are interested in setting up a payment plan.
To verify that financial aid has arrived at UAF and is available for disbursement:
- go to the financial aid website and select "Check Your Aid Status," or
- log on to UAOnline, or
- contact the Financial Aid Office, 107 Eielson Building, 907-474-7256, 907-888-474-7256 or email@example.com.

Orlando offers residents way more than roller-coaster rides and fresh citrus fruits (although those things are both pretty darn cool). While it may be well-known for the popular attraction, Disney World, Orlando stays busy with conferences, conventions, and everyday opportunities for residents who prefer it warm year-round. Neighborhoods in this city range in temperament from Lawsona with its active nightlife to the quiet community of Lake Mary. There are plenty of Orlando apartments in Oveido, near Central Florida University, or put down roots in Winter Park, known for its all-inclusive appeal.
The good thing about Orlando is that it's fairly large in size. So if you want to find Orlando apartments that are nowhere near the touristy areas: no problem! For a city of its size, Orlando maintains a lower cost of living. Housing for most small places starts out around $650 while some of the more expensive apartments in Orlando cost around $3,000. So no matter what your budget, you're sure to find something to match your comfort level and price range.
The University of Central Florida calls Orlando home. You can also find the Florida A&M University College of Law, Valencia College, Full Sail University, and more than a dozen other private universities in Orlando. For those seeking employment, Orlando serves as a center for high technology and industry. Key sectors here include digital media, agricultural technology, aviation, military training, and software design.
For music lovers, Orlando supports active hip-hop, metal, rock, and Latino music scenes. It's a city known for its theater as well. If you'd rather cheer on a home team during your off hours, the Orlando Magic plays professional basketball at Amway Center.

Where Do I Go For Help With My Event?
Soon from now I will have to organize a pretty big and important event, so I had to start looking for a proper place capable of hosting it. I started searching and visiting places to find the ones that fits best, but beside all that I had to think about other aspects that needed to be met. Like accommodation for the guests, some snacks for the event, ambient music and the list can go on. After seeing a couple of places and none of them were suitable I felt a bit demoralized and tired, wondering what I can do in such a short notice.
When you find the answer
I thought I still had a chance of searching for some options over the internet. As I was looking for event type spaces I came across a venue finding service. This was something new to me, but I wanted to see what this service could provide me, being encouraged by the fact that it had no fee to track down venue places. I found great the fact that all the expenses of the finding process were supported by the venue locations or designated hotels. I believe this is the fairest thing to do, since this venue finding service provides them customers.
The online venue finding service was very easy to be used. I just entered the town of the event, date, number guests and type of event. In about a day I received several offers that could meet my requirements. I couldn't believe how quick everything was. If I would have known about this service before my time wouldn't have been wasted on pointless searches. I guess it is ok now, since I already found the perfect solution. This experience is definitely something I will keep in mind of I ever want to be efficient and successful in the future.
Solutions do come easy
It is unbelievable how easy all can be if you know to look in the right place. I mean these guys had the most amazing venue places ever. I think it took me weeks to find the proper place if I decided to look for it on my own. Not to mention the help they gave me with setting up accommodation for the guests that weren't from town. It worked very well and the experience they had really helped me a lot. With their help I managed to obtain everything I needed to create an event that was absolutely great for my guests. I know that because you could see the wide smiles on their faces. This event reached its purpose and was also entertaining for the guests. What else could I ask more, I suppose I can call it of as a success on my side.
I am really glad that someone had the idea of starting up these venue finding services. They provide a lot of support for people like me, who want to do something great, like a nice event or memorable gathering, but don't have the proper knowledge or resources to do so. I believes that venue finding resembles to a live encyclopedia of events, including all sort of solution and possibilities meant to fit everyone's requirements. I really wish them success and may they have a long time on the market, as I am sure their services will be much searched for. But if I think about what they managed to help me achieve than I can only suppose that they won't lack in customers, as they're services are great. I can see a really bright future for this type of business.

Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and other dyes are artificial colorings allowed in foods in the U.S., yet there is a long-standing debate over whether food dyes contribute to hyperactivity in children. The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Food Advisory Committee met the last week of March and determined that there is not enough evidence to support the link between food dyes and hyperactivity in children. For now, there will be no warning labels on food products containing dyes.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about a vitamin solution, Soladek; samples that were tested contained dangerously high levels of vitamins A and D. The FDA has advised consumers currently using this product to stop immediately.
For more information, read the FDA warning.
Godi International, Corp., located in South Florida is announcing a recall of Fruta Planta weight loss dietary supplements because the products contain Sibutramine an undeclared drug ingredient. Sibutramine is an FDA approved drug used as an appetite suppressant for weight loss. This poses a potential threat to consumers because Sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke.

There is a growing trend in the U.S. of consumers using a variety of dietary supplements in hopes of getting healthier, warding off disease and easing symptoms of various conditions.
In a September 14, 2010 article, The Wall Street Journal reports that the federal government is stepping up research into the safety and effectiveness of a wide range of products to help consumers make more informed choices about supplements. The article in full-text can be accessed here.
The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio) recently ran a five-day series titled "Little leagues, big costs" In this series, The Dispatch explores where youth sports have taken wrong turns in recent years.
The link below from that series contains an article that focuses on the dangers of how some unregulated dietary supplements are being targeted at teens
Supplements target teens, pose dangers and are virtually unregulated
In a report from the September 2010 issue of Consumer Reports®, the twelve most dangerous dietary supplements posing health risks have been identified. According to the report, these are dietary supplements which are taken by millions of Americans and have been found to cause serious health problems, including cardiovascular, liver, and kidney problems.
When you choose a multivitamin or supplement from the store, have you ever wondered how to choose? Or if there's any regulation to ensure the one you choose is safe, and that you're getting what you're paying for? Regulation is perhaps the least understood aspect of the dietary supplement industry. We, here at HPRC, hope we can shed some light on the matter. Look for the quickest way to ensure quality and safety in your supplements at the end of the article.
Dietary supplements are regulated, but not as strictly as many might want. Oversight of dietary supplements began with the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). Since supplements are intended to supplement one's diet, they are regulated the way food is, and not as drugs are. Under DSHEA, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dietary supplements by holding manufacturers accountable in five important areas: Manufacturers are required to ensure that the supplement is safe; make truthful claims; abide by current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs); submit to FDA all reports of serious adverse events, and notify FDA before it markets a supplement containing a "new dietary ingredient" (NDI).
What consumers should know is that manufacturers cannot sell unsafe, ineffective supplements; they have to document that their product will not harm anyone, and provide convincing evidence that the product does what it claims. To further ensure safety and effectiveness, the FDA closely regulates supplement labels for accuracy and honesty. All information on the label must be truthful and conform to all FDA standards. It has to list the sources of all components, and the amount of key nutrients and ingredients. Manufacturers are also required to report to the FDA before marketing supplements containing new dietary ingredients, which must have data supporting safety of the ingredient. The FDA also regulates manufacturing standards using the current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) to ensure product quality and safety. Violation of cGMP is a violation of the law. Lastly, the FDA requires manufacturers to report on serious adverse events that may occur from consumers using their products.
Despite this oversight, there's a misconception that dietary supplements are not regulated. This could be because supplements don't require pre-market approval, and the post-market responsibility of FDA simply ensures compliance with the regulations listed above. The downside of this is that some unsafe and contaminated products end up on the market. Once there, the FDA has to prove that the product is unsafe (or show that the information on its label is untruthful or misleading), before it can be removed from the market. Also, although supplement labels are highly regulated, the content of separate brochures and fliers is not subject to FDA rules.
Enforcing regulations take time and resources. Since the cGMP rule went into effect in June 2008, the FDA has conducted approximately 55 inspections for compliance with the new regulations – and in light of the thousands of companies manufacturing supplements, there's some dissatisfaction with the progress of the FDA.
So how can you protect yourself, as a consumer, from ineffective or even potentially unsafe supplements? There's a simple answer: When purchasing dietary supplements, choose products approved by independent organizations that offer certification or verification. Look for supplements whose labels display a seal from the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), the non-profit NSF International, or the Natural Products Association (NPA). Since these verifications are voluntary and are performed at the company's expense, you can be certain that approved products have little or no contaminants, that the ingredients are present in the labeled amounts, and the labels are accurate.
The FDA does not strictly regulate dietary supplements. As a result, supplements may not be as pure as stated on the label and may have potentially harmful contaminants. When purchasing dietary supplements, choose products approved by United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or other reputable sources.
