The television will not turn on, power light blinks 10 times (red)
From my preliminary research, I think it has to do with a fuse and the internal power supply. Anyone have any instructions on how to replace it/what parts I need to buy?
I also found this guide:
Is it worth me persuing individually, or should I just take it to a repair shop?
Edited by: Sam Lionheart ( ) , mayer ( ) , Adam ( )
well it would depend how well versed you are in troubleshooting and board replacement as well as trying to find the right board. I would use a manual to at least narrow down the problem, and try to find the cost for a board.Then compare that to the cost for the shop repair. Benefit to professional repair is that it is "hopefully" done right and you will have some sort of warranty.
Hi ! My name is Juan, My TV Polaroid Mod.tc-P50x5,red Ligth blinking 5 timne.Please help me.
Accepted Answer
This is what I get from the Panasonic 9th generation plasma "If any of the SUB or MAIN voltages that are high-lighted on the DG Board is missing, the unit goes into shutdown.The power LED blinks ten times.
If any of the voltages created on the PA Board is excessive or shorted, the unit goes into shut-down. The power LED blinks ten times." Here is a training manual for the Panasonic 9th gen Plasma TV and it will show you all the testing points as well as ideas of where to look for the error on your TV. As with any TV, be careful of anything high Voltage and watch yourself. Just posted the complete service manual on here for you. Stay Safe and good luck

@oldturkey23 I have a similar problem and tried to access the guides you posted but I don't have access to them. Can you re post them or give me access to the documents ? ? Thanks in advance !!!!
sigfried, they should be back up. I do have to turn them off after a few weeks to make room for new manuals.
Hi I just encountered the same problem. Is there any way you can put the manual back up?

power light blinking 10 times, i removed the back of my panasonic viera 42" tv and using a make up brush and low power hoover removed all the dust, fluff and debris from the fans and boards. switched it on and it now works perfectly, its def worth a try.
I want to thank you for your feedback regarding the 42" Panasonic Viera. My biggest problem was getting all the screws out of the back. Once I did I used a makeup brush and the low suction attachment on my Shark vacuum to completely clean all boards, vents, and particularly the fans. It worked like a charm, my plasma seems brand new again. Thank you to whoever is responsible for this forum and to all other contributors for their helpful comments and advice. You have saved me a fortune I didn't have to spend on a repairman or a new t.v...Thanks again!!
my Panasonic has had the same problem cleaned fans and circuit boards and any where l could get with a new paint brush and vacuum.I started it up everything back to normal.I live in a remote area you have saved me $60 freight each way and the repair guys bill. big THANKS. It was pretty dusty back there again thanks
I have a 55 inch Panasonic plasma hdtv it suddenly stop working it doesn't turn on and there was never a red blinking light does anyone know how to fix this problem I already tried unplugging the tv holding the power button for ten seconds nothing works please if anyone has a solution to my problem I wo appreciate any suggestions.
Raquel ,
Would appreciate it sorry.
Raquel ,
It could be a fuse. Google your TV name and model to see where the fuse is located. Also, as far as vacuuming, you need to take the back of the TV off then vacuum out the fans. Plug it in without the back on to see if the fans work- if not you need to replace the fans. If none of this helps you may have a fried motherboard which you can replace but you may just want to purchase a new TV. Hope this helps!
The same thing happened to my Panasonic. Some say to hold the power button in for 10 seconds to reset it and that usually works. Sometimes it needs to be done a few times. My resolution was to plug it into a different circuit in the house. Obviously there was too many compnents on the same circuit and TVs (good ones), will protect themselves from frying and have to be reset. If the new circuit area is working for you in another adjacent room, just tap off of that one and install an new outlet in the room in which the TV is. Think positive! It's not always the Red Light Death!"
Hope this helps!
Changed power outlet - worked great. Must have had overloaded power strip.
Both of these solutions worked great! I moved the power supply connection to a different circuit and used a portable vacuum to clean the dust from all of the vents on the back of the tv.
Thanks for your help as I had planned watching a full slate of college football today!
I don't know how many times it actually blinked...but I unplugged it for a few seconds...plugg
This could be due to me having a different media center PC linked to this plug in. I think the power on it is much more powerful than the old one. But I havent had any other problems other than this.
Panasonic TH- P50G10A
Read all the forums and now believe its all a crok. I had a 10 blink issue just started turned on the telly in the morning and it comes on for 5 seconds then turns off 10 blink warning. Read all the crap about board this and capacitor that so tried the reset. no change.
Unplugged the telly for 30 mins Took off the back used a small art brush to loosen all dust and vaccumed carefully especially the fans up the top. Put it all back together and then voila it all worked perfectly, incidentially I have a xbox, ps3, foxtel box, surround sound and wii all plugged in at the same time
Thank you very much for your answers guys, my TV had the same issue where standby light is blinking and TV is not turning on. I used the process as you all to clean the fan at the back of the TV. It worked guys now my TV is working. Thx again guys
I guess all you read was not all a CROCK OR CRAP...
Thankyou so much for this info. My same tv did blink thing and I was !#^&@@ big time my husband wanted to buy a brand new tv when this ones only 5 years old. I took off the about 1000 screws, used a makeup brush to softly brush out dust( and there was gobs of it), while I held the suction hose of the vac to catch it as it was removed. I just put the panel back on and every screw in now to get my husband up to hook it back up and turn it on. I'm praying it works. We tried all the other stuff mentioned. My back is killing me now by the way. I'm going to plug it in when I can move again.
I went into freak out mode when my 4 year old, rarely used 42 inch Panasonic plasma did the same thing. I did the whole "depress the power button for 10 seconds" "unplugged it for long periods of time" and "plug it into a different circuit" Boom! Still the same problem. I unplugged it one last time and I got up and went to Best Buy to possibly buy a new tv. Once there after seeing the super low prices of better technology 42 inch tv's I thought maybe it was time to purchase something new anyway. After about an hour in Best Buy, I decided not to buy anything new and there is no way my 4 year old Panasonic was broken and needed a repair shop. When I got back home after being away about 3 hours, I plugged it back in with no true expectation that it would work. Boom! It's still not working!. I did the "depress the power button" again, still nothing. So I gave up and unhooked all the components (Comcast Cable Box, Sony Google TV player and a Samsung Blu Ray player, all connected via HDMI) and carried it to an unused room in my home and made room for another TV. Once in the other room I plugged it in and Boom! It worked. So now I'm really puzzled.
To possibly narrow down the problem, because it was too heavy to carry back and forth, I hooked it up to an extension cord and plugged it back into the same circuit that it was initially plugged into and it was still working. I re-hooked the Sony Google TV player to it and it still worked. I then took the TV back to its original spot and reconnected all of the components to it and it worked fine.
The only thing that I can think was the problem was the long period of time that it was disconnected and the fact that after I did the reset, I unplugged it again and re - plugged it regardless to where it was plugged it worked. Because now it's in the original spot and working fine.
The only other thing I can think of is it was originally within close proximity (not on top) of a floor heat register. I have since moved it about 6 more inches away from it.
I guess you have to be patient and try a combination of simple things to remedy the problem before you start removing the back of the TV and replacing boards, fuses, circuits (especially if you have no experience). And as the BB salesperson placing it on craigslist to sale for parts or even placing it on the curb for trash. It could be something very simple. But a new 40 inch Samsung Smart TV for $300 less than I paid for the Panasonic sure sounded good.

Are you kidding dude? Plasma still blows LCD/LED out of the water in terms picture quality. I learnt the hard way! And besides 42" is the sweet point for 1080P resolution.
I had similar problem. TV red light blink but the tv does not start. It'a must be because of the dust on the circules. I bught a anti static spree for electronic devices and used it on the back of the tv, even only throw the cracks for vent on the back and it's working
I just cleaned the $@$* out of my tv just like everyone said and it worked for the 2 hours and 45 mins it's taken me to watch boyhood, everything crossed for Tomorrow
Thanks! it help me!
Knowing I work on computers and electronics, a buddy gave me his '08 TH-42PZ80U when it started getting the 2 and 10 blink errors and the makeup brush trick didn't work for him. I followed this Youtube channels advice; https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LjpGKaBt8h...
TV powered up. Ordered the full capicator kit for $10 off eBay. The cheapest 42" Plasma I've ever owned.
I had the same problem and it was the fans in the back of the unit. You can easily order them and replace them yourself. Look at the back of the unit first to make sure it is one or more of the fans not working. Otherwise it may be a fuse or an overloaded circuit. Hope this helps...!
I have Panasonic 42 in. Plasma TV for more than 8 years now and never gave me any problem until this month, will turn on few seconds then off, same 10x blinks and nothing. I did all the easy fix, vacuum the back TV, plugged to different outlet and it worked. Two weeks later , it gave me the same problem again. My next option was to unplug the TV for 2-3 days as what some people suggested, but it's hard to imagine no TV for few days? After 4 hours I tried again but still not working. There are many components attached to the TV, (my nephew is an electronic junkie even though he does not live with me). I tried removing the attached Ruko, and Turned on the TV and it WORKED. My nephew couldn't believe I fixed the problem myself as I am a senior citizen auntie who does not know about electronics. Thanks to all who posted their comments, I was able to get some ideas.
I have a TXP50VT20B,PANA
failure code(the order of two fingers?!
I opened the back of it & cleaned it off the dust & debries (gingerly),Nojo
Left it alone for 48 hours,no joy, pressed & hold the turning on botton for 10 -15 second ,
Still no joy .
Would anybody please forward any Ideas to sort it out ?!(For Xmas sake!!)
Many thanx
When my 50inch Plasma had the 10 red blinks problem it was due to 2 of the 3 fans not working. I replaced the faulty fans with two sourced from the internet and it now works fine. They are the same as pc fans, just make sure they are identical.
Although it has been mentioned here a million times I would like to add something: Have a 6 years old Pana Plasma. When it is cold it turns on no problem. Occasionally I accidentally turn it of and right back on. Here it starts to blink green for 3-4 seconds, clicks and ends up with the red flashing. Up until tonight that was no big deal. Turned the main power switch off, waited for a minuted, turned it back on, perfect. BUT NOT TONIGHT! Unplugged it, turned if of for 30+minutes. Nothing. I thought: Okay, another 2,000 down the drain for a new one.
But I followed these comments and unplugged it, unscrew the back, cleaned everything with a vacuum cleaner and a small brush (very carefully, there are a lot of tiny parts back there) und put it back together. Also I put the TV at the very front of my multiple socket outlet and it worked perfectly fine.
I assume some dust causes overheating or maybe even some sort of shortage (there was really a lot of fine dust) and maybe there were too many other things attached to the multiple socket outlet before the TV. IDK. Seems to work. Can put money in my IRA. Hahaha
I have the same problem but my Humax satellite box and sony video player both work giving a normal picture. It's the TV tuner which does not turn on. Ideas please!
Try spraying the IF board with freeze spray first. Also, check for any loose connections on the IF Board. Here's a video on replacing the tuner- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeKq9YDZM.... Hope this helps!
None of the vacuuming/clean
Here is the simple 5 step process we follow when this happens to our plasma tv. It works every time.
1) Completely unplug EVERYTHING connected to the tv, including HDMI cables
2) Press and hold the power button on the tv for 10 seconds
3) Plug power cord ONLY back in to TV
4) Turn tv on.
5) Plug in all other cables at this time.
It is helpful to use a good surge protector with this tv. It still goes out occasionally but not as much.
If the process does not work, wait longer (like an hour) after unplugging everything
I have a 45inch panasonic tv cable box works but tv doesn't come on the red light keeps blinking, i tried resetting it didn't work, clean the back doesn't work. Please help.

The Sunflower Forestby Torey L. Hayden

Surviving an Eating Disorder: New Perspectives and Strategies for Family and Friendsby Margot Weinshel Michele Siegel Judith Brisman
From the book: The first book of its kind, Surviving an Eating Disorder is an inspiring yet realistic guide written expressly for parents, spouses, friends, relatives, and all others who are the "silent sufferers" of anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive overeating. Whether you've just begun to suspect a problem or have been facing the frightening reality of a serious disorder for some time, this reassuring book will help you to overcome feelings of confusion, helplessness, and anger and to take new actions that will encourage the recovery process. The authors, three leading experts in the field, explain what you can expect from the eating-disordered person--and yourself---and what kind of support is available. Drawing on the authors' extensive experience in counseling individuals, groups, and families, and illustrated throughout with vivid case examples, Surviving an Eating Disorder will help answer all your questions, large and small: Why is this happening? Can I keep sweets in the house? What do I say when she asks if she looks fat? How can I help him with his diet? Should I suggest therapy? Will things get better? In Part I, "Gaining Perspective," the authors discuss the psychological components of eating disorders as well as the family contexts in which they develop. Part II, "Confronting the Problem," offers guidance for bringing the problem out into the open, getting the person into treatment, and coping with the possibility of anger and denial. In Part III, "Using New Strategies," the authors show how the situation can be made better--now--by disengaging from the eating disorder (with practical suggestions for handling such daily issues as mealtimes, messy bathrooms, money, and requests for advice) while reestablishing a relationship with the eating disordered person based on issues other than food and weight. The guide concludes with names and addresses of national organizations and a list of suggested readings.
Sweet Invisible Body: Reflections on a Life with Diabetesby Lisa Roney
An uncommonly intelligent and honest look at how living with a disease can affect every aspect of a person's life. Diabetes is one of the strangest and most insidious of all diseases: a diabetic can give the appearance of robust health and often lead a long and active life, but within moments can be catastrophically ill, even dead. Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, where over 16 million people have the disease. The related statistics are staggering: diabetes makes an individual two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke and it is the leading cause among adults, of blindness, renal disease, and lower-limb amputations. Lisa Roney was diagnosed with diabetes in 1972, just before her twelfth birthday. Sweet Invisible Body is her candid and exquisitely written account of living with a disease that directly impacts the choices she makes in every aspect of her life every day, from food and exercise to career and family. Moreover, and most remarkable, is Roney's willingness to intelligently explore and reveal the usually hidden consequences of living with a disease such as diabetes: how it erodes self-esteem, induces feelings of vulnerability, influences sexual choices, and leads to a heightened awareness of mortality. Full of wisdom, humor, and practical advice, Sweet Invisible Body will be welcomed by diabetics and their friends and families who have never had a spokesperson as articulate, honest, and insightful as Lisa Roney.
Switching Time: A Doctor's Harrowing Story of Treating a Woman with 17 Personalitiesby Richard K. Baer
In 1989, Karen Overhill walks into psychiatrist Richard Baer's office complaining of vague physical pains and depression. Odder still, she reveals that she's suffering from a persistent memory problem. Routinely, she "loses" parts of her day, finding herself in places she doesn't remember going to or being told about conversations she doesn't remember having. Her problems are so pervasive that she often feels like an impersonator in her own life; she doesn't recognize the people who call themselves her friends, and she can't even remember being intimate with her own husband. Baer recognizes that Karen is on the verge of suicide and, while trying various medications to keep her alive, attempts to discover the root cause of her strange complaints. It's the work of months, and then years, to gain Karen's trust and learn the true extent of the trauma buried in her past. What she eventually reveals is nearly beyond belief, a narrative of a childhood spent grappling with unimaginable horror. How has Karen survived with even a tenuous grasp on sanity? Under hypnosis, alternate Karen personalities reveal themselves in shocking variety and with undeniable traits - both physical and psychological. One "alter" is a young boy filled with frightening aggression; another an adult male who considers himself Karen's protector; and a third a sassy flirt who seeks dominance over the others. It's only by compartmentalizing her pain, guilt, and fear in this fashion-by "switching time" with alternate selves as the situation warrants - that Karen has been able to function since childhood. Realizing that his patient represents an extreme case of multiple personality disorder, Baer faces the daunting task of creating a therapy that will make Karen whole again. Somehow, in fact, he must gain the trust of each of Karen's seventeen "alters" and convince them of the necessity of their own annihilation. As powerful as Sybil or The Three Faces of Eve, Switching Time is the first complete account of such therapy to be told from the perspective of the treating physician, a devoted healer who worked selflessly for decades so that Karen could one day live as a single human being. This book includes grim and disturbing, though not grisly descriptions of child abuse. It also contains language that is objectionable to many people.

Take Up Thy Bed and Walk: Death, Disability and Cure in Classic Fiction for Girlsby Lois Keith
Many Victorian children's books written for girls show a lively, rebellious heroine who, by the end of the story, is tamed and ready to take on the role of submissive young woman. In a number of works, a temporary disability is the crucible which teaches these headstrong girls lessons in patience and humility. Sometimes goodness and will-power are rewarded with a miraculous cure. In other works a dying child serves as a lesson to the living, modeling endurance and faith. Lois Keith explores such themes in children's classics including Little Women, Heidi, The Secret Garden, and Pollyanna. In her final chapter she considers depictions of illness and disability and children's literature of the mid to late 20th century.

Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals About the Mindby Margalit Fox
(front flap) Imagine a village where everyone "speaks" sign language. Just such a village - an isolated Bedouin community in Israel with an unusually high rate of deafness - is at the heart of Talking Hands: What Sign Language Reveals About the Mind. There, an indigenous sign language has sprung up, used by deaf and hearing villagers alike. It is a language no outsider has been able to decode, until now. A New York Times reporter trained as a linguist, Margalit Fox is the only Western journalist to have set foot in this remarkable village. In Talking Hands, she follows an international team of scientists that is unraveling this mysterious language. Because the sign language of the village has arisen completely on its own, outside the influence of any other language, it is a living demonstration of the "language instinct," man's inborn capacity to create language. If the researchers can decode this language, they will have helped isolate ingredients essential to all human language, signed and spoken. But as Talking Hands grippingly shows, their work in the village is also a race against time, because the unique language of the village may already be endangered. Talking Hands offers a fascinating introduction to the signed languages of the world- languages as beautiful, vital and emphatically human as any other- explaining why they are now furnishing cognitive scientists with long-sought keys to understanding how language works...

Tara and the Place of Irish Kings: A Memoir Based on the Writings and Life of Tara Owen, June 18, 1973 - October 24, 2001by Gail Joseph Owen Vanessa Davis Griggs
Tara Owen was born with cystic fibrosis (CF). A beautiful young woman, she fought courageously to live life on her own terms. She continued to fight for over 28 years, until a tragic error brought her battle to an end. This story is not about her death; it's about her life. Smart, beautiful, and full of love with so much to live for, yet she had every reason to have had an understandably lousy attitude. Tara's story will fill you with hope and a sense of purpose. Facets of her life are included in this story where wisdom nuggets permeate. With such love for family and a fondness for a farm she called, "The place fit for Irish kings," this story is a celebration of Tara's life and the people that meant the most to her. The reality of the illness she bravely battled will be part of the story. How else could her story be told? It's an account of perseverance, hope, love, and the desire to live life to its fullest. We'll take the journey with Tara from birth until her death. And in the space of her life, we'll learn what it means to love and to triumph through adversity, regardless. Twenty-eight years may not be long for many, but when one has inside them the heart of kings, great times and a life of love and being loved will somehow encompass you.

I think Claudia and Robin are on to something, poemhunter could have our poems as poems of the day, and Kevin Straw could have a field day cutting us to ribbons. Worth a try. (Report) Reply

William Shakespeare. A classic favourite poet of mine, along with John Keats and William Wordsworth. Clearly a brilliant writer, world famous...my question is...why are such famous poems posted here? I thought this was for the not-as-famous poets...who just want to share their words, their feelings, and open a door into insight...Unless I am completely wrong and this is another wikipedia type of site....
Just thought Poem of Day should be for more real poets... (Report) Reply
Claudia Krizay (4/8/2011 12:40:00 PM)
What a trite poem- why do you always choose poems written by these ancient and famous poets like Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson? ? ? More modern poets have a voice to share also. None of these so called poems of the day make any sense- just a jumble of words as the writers must have been drunk or stoned when they wrote them! ! ! ! I am beginning to wonder why some of these ancient well known poets ever made it so well in the first place because the poems they wrote are either just plain trite or make no sense! ! ! !

I have read A Mid Summer Night's Dream several times, the first in high school, and after that just for the sheer beauty of the play. Therefore let me say, and it takes a lot to say this, Kevin Straw is absolutely right. Oh my what have I done. Terrence hit the proverbial nail on the head. Oh by the way Michael didn't Conan live in the hyperbolic age? Oh excuse me that was the hyborean age, my bad. (Report) Reply

When I played the part of Shakespeare's Puck in in the early 70s, I had little knowledge of beauty in words arising out of technicalities. I just flowed with words like water on stage to the enjoyment of the audience and fellow actors and actresses. So just leave me there in the headquarters of nostalgia. Thanks Daddy Shakespeare!

Never you mind, Terence! You demonstrate almost daily your own lack of discernment in your hyperbolic ventings! (Report) Reply
Terence George Craddock (4/8/2010 3:26:00 PM)
Alas poor Michael, it is not an arcane argument, it is an observation, a cowslip is a small plant of the primrose family, and the observation made was how dewdrops sparkle on foliage, therefore what is arcane? Surely that is not difficult or impossible for you to understand. Michael ever the lover of argument and condescending remarks. I never mentioned music. The point about the dictionary was standardized spelling never existed, explaining the diverse spellings of the same word at this time, perhaps you might care to view a concise period dictionary of meanings and multiple spelling relative to the time. Enjoy your song and read with discernment. (Report) Reply
Michael Pruchnicki (4/8/2010 8:59:00 AM)
Enough already! As I read Shakespeare's 'A Fairy Song' I could hear in the background the music and lyrics of 'The Caissons Go Rolling Along, ' and the arcane argument posited by Craddock rang false to my ears the more those phantom lyrics played and I wondered why all the fuss and bother about 'our first dictionary' according to Doctor Johnson!
Listen to the following with that inner ear and trust me -
Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And those caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And those caissons go rolling along.
Perhaps the man who wrote the original version of 'Caissons' had read Shakespeare's play while serving as an artillery man on some distant outpost of the American empire prior to World War One! We'll never know for sure exactly where Edmund L. Gruber got the inspiration to write the lyrics that are still heard at gatherings of artillerymen in the US Army!
Let me go and hang a pearl in some cowslip's ear! (Report) Reply
Terence George Craddock (4/8/2010 2:21:00 AM)
'I must go seek some dewdrops here,
And hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear.'
This sight is beautiful to behold, the dewdrops sparkling in the light of the sun upon cowslips, all other flowers, cobwebs, even blades of grass, is thrilling to view early in the morning when out walking.
Kevin Straw has beautifully and accurately put the poem in context, with reference to the delightful character Puck, therefore I need not comment further upon the poem.
The reason for the spelling of through as 'thourough' is because there was at his time no standardization of spelling. Samuel Johnson has yet to write our first dictionary which will make spelling consistent, with minimal widely recognized American and British differences in very few words.
The genius of Shakespeare and the popularity of his plays at this time, would be equivalent to a concert by a mega rock star, in contemporary entertainment. Therefore 'he was [not] just an ordinary fella back'. As owner of the Globe Theatre and self made man, Shakespeare remains unique, and continues to inspire and influence, across the arts and diverse cultures world wide. Shakespeare remains the pearl of English Literature. (Report) Reply

There was an afternoon of activities in Mell Square leading up to the big switch-on including a parade which featured people dressed as characters from children's stories.
And Santa took along his reindeer and penguins to greet children in his grotto in Touchwood where he will be everyday until Christmas Eve.

The average cost of diesel has increased for the third consecutive week, hitting its highest level since early September, while oil crossed the century mark for the first time this year.
It moved up to $3.977 per gallon, an increase of 2.6 cents from a week ago and 10.4 cents more than when it last fell on Jan. 20, according to new figures from the U.S. Energy Department.
Compared to a year ago the national average price is 12.7 cents less. It's also down in all regions of the country compared to the same time in 2013, except in the New England and Central Atlantic parts.
Prices increased in all parts of the country over the past week, except for the West Coast minus California, where it declined only 0.1 cent to $3.901 per gallon. The biggest increases were in the Central Atlantic and New England portions that make up the East Coast region, adding 8.2 cents for $4.363 and 6.4 cents for $4.369, respectively.
The two sections are, by far, the highest priced parts of the country, while the least expensive average diesel cost is in the Gulf Coast region, up 1.3 cents from a week ago, to $3.788.
Gasoline also increased over the past week, adding 1.7 cents, for a U.S. average of $3.309 per gallon. Compared to a year ago the price 30.2 cents less.
Prices range from a low of $3.086 in the Gulf Coast region to a high of $3.517 along the West Coast.
Meantime, the cost of crude in New York trading added 18 cents on Monday, closing at $100.06 per barrel and is up a around $3.50 over the past week.
The increase in oil has come as the result of frigid temperatures in parts of the U.S. as demand for home heating oil has jumped.

Review: To Build a CastleUser Review - Diane - Goodreads
Intriguing account of the life and times in prison of a Soviet dissenter. This book never reaches the intellectual or spiritual heights on Solzhenitsyn, but it is well-written and provides solid insights nonetheless. Read full review
Review: To Build a CastleUser Review - Pavel Tyan - Goodreads
All my illusions about nice and quiet life in USSR were finally broken. It's all about those thing that couldn't be caught by little boy's mind. Highly recommended as a drug of choice in case of "Back in USSR"-exacerbations. Read full review

Interesting how much of the world is interested in our politics.
Several years ago, I was walking around Porvoo, Finland, taking pictures. I talked to a few teenagers doing skateboard tricks. In their perfect English, they were very curious how we could have elected Bush II twice. It's all they wanted to talk about.
I seem to recall plenty of people milling about when the Berlin wall came down. When you give people access to something formerly restricted, plenty of people will show up just to say they were there.
The Internet will be an interesting place on the day the "Great Firewall" finally gets shut down for good.
On the other hand, few Europeans can place and name all 50 American states as well as their capitals, yet they somehow feel Americans should be able to do this for Europe. They don't realise that the pride they take in keeping track of what happens in Germany when they live in Spain is just like an American reading news about the state next over.
Hi, UK here.
We had a third party, the Liberal Democrats.
It all kind of went downhill when they did the exact opposite of the thing that they explicitly said that would do. [telegraph.co.uk] They pretty much do everything our highly unpopular Conservative Party tells them to. In doing so, they forfeit the tiny bit of credibility that fell to them mostly by default, after our previous highly unpopular Labour government departed.
In Finnish election system, when electing president, we have second round where we have the only two most voted candidates from first round.
This year top 2 candidates got 37% and 19% of votes on the first round. On the second round they got 63% and 37%.
