London Wasps travel to the Stade Jean-Bouin on Saturday with the narrowest of advantages after a one-point victory against Stade Francais in the first leg of their European Champions Cup play-off.
Wasps looked beaten when centre Waisea Vuidravuwalu scored a soft 74th-minute try, but the Premiership side at least ensured they won the first leg in the play-off that will decide who completes the line-up for next season's European elite competition.
Tries from Tom Varndell, Ashley Johnson and Joe Simpson and a 15-point haul from Goode should have seen Wasps emerge emphatic winners, but they were punished for some costly lapses in concentration.
Djibril Camara and Jerome Fillol scored tries that should have been prevented shortly after the London club had crossed themselves and even Zak Taulafo's opening touchdown was conceded too easily.
"Last Sunday we were very good in patches and a little bit inaccurate in patches - which has pretty much been the story of our season," Wasps director of rugby Dai Young told their official website.
"A lot of aspects of the game were very pleasing, but again it is frustrating when you work so hard to gain points and then you let some slip.
"The lapses in concentration or accuracy have cost us throughout the season and I'm hoping this is something we have to go through as part of the development of the team and come out the other end."
Stade Francais coach Gonzalo Quesada eight changes to the side that was narrowly beaten in the first leg, with talismanic Italian back row Sergio Parisse making his return to action.
Parisse has recovered from injury in time to take the No 8 jersey from David Lyons, who drops to the bench as do props Zak Tolafau and Rabah Slimani with Heinke van der Merwe and Davit Kubriashvili brought into the front row.
Quesada also opts for a fresh midfield partnership with Jonathan Danty coming in to join Waisea Vuidravuwalu at the expense of Meyer Bosman, while Djibril Camara loses his place on the left wing to Wallaby international Digby Ioane.
Springbok international Morne Steyn moves to the bench as French fly-half Jules Plisson gets the nod in an all-new half-back with Jerome Fillol replaced by Julien Dupuy.
Wasps coach Young has made one enforced change for the second leg with back row Nathan Hughes returning to Fiji for his wedding.
After the creation of the seventh-place play-off, Hughes postponed returning to Fiji last week so he could join the squad in the first-leg but could not avoid missing the return fixture, meaning Guy Thompson comes in to take the No 8 jersey.
Ed Jackson comes onto the bench, where the only other change is Charlie Davies, who returns after recovering from a head knock.
London Wasps: 15 Masi, 14 Helu, 13 Daly, 12 Bell (capt), 11 Varndell, 10 Goode, 9 Simpson; 1 Mullan, 2 Festuccia, 3 Swainston, 4 Launchbury, 5 Palmer, 6 Johnson, 7 Haskell, 8 Thompson
Replacements: 16 Lindsay, 17 McIntyre, 18 Vea, 19 Myall, 20 Jackson, 21 Davies, 22 Carlisle, 23 Hayter
Stade Francais: 15 Bonneval, 14 Arias, 13 Vuidravuwalu, 12 Danty, 11 Ioane, 10 Plisson, 9 Fillol; 1 Van der Merwe, 2 Sempere, 3 Kubruashvili, 4 Flanquart, 5 Pape (capt), 6 Burban, 7 Lavalla, 8 Parisse
Replacements: 16 Van Vuuren, 17 Tolafau, 18 Slimani, 19 Van Zyl, 20 Lyons, 21 Steyn, 22 Dupuy, 23 Bosman

Audio focus In need audio focus. Only one app at the time has to use suond. Internal speaker are the problem.Media audio does work with the internal speaker, the sound is comming out when other app use it, if no app use the internal speaker media audio is working. The app I have problem are poweapp, countdown timer,alarm clock extrem, multiple sound out of internal speaker just for 2 second only one sound. My device is gt-p5100 root. If your app can fix this I will be good.
Worked great until the update I've been using this on my Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact to play on my PS4 via Remote Play, and it's been working great. The monitor I have it hooked up to doesn't have speakers, so I installed SoundAbout to route the audio through the tablet speakers. Great! SoundAbout updated recently, and now it doesn't work correctly. Shame :(
Great App Voice Search is crap, comes up whenever i plug in headset. No way to disable....Just bought a discounted Galaxy S3 only to find out; I can't have "aux speakers" plugged in and use my Bluetooth for phone calls. This app saved the day. I tried it for 1 day before purchasing, I was skeptical. It works great. I purchased the pro on the 2nd day.
Longer trail time Only got to use it for an hour before trail version was up. Do you want your money that quick?
Awesome Had this problem after android jelly update. My xperia m won't recognise my headphones with a mic. Installed this app, taped around a few times and voila works like a charm. Thank you a lot.
Sounds About booster It work okay.they Need to put more (App) like that on the List.So I will give you A-5-Star to put more App on the list.

Mono Bluetooth Router
Simple application allows you route sound via mono bluetooth headset. Normally android devices can not play music via mono bluetooth headsets. With Mono Bluetooth Router listening podcasts, internet radio, GPS navigation messages and other sound sources which do not require high sound quality via bluetooth hands free is possible again!
- sound indication when routing is switched on
Supports Android 2.2 and higher.
Known Issues:
- sound indication when routing is switched on
- restores sound volume after switching off the routing
- indication when routing is on in status bar
- restores bluetooth routing after phone call
This is version with advertising - if this application works well for you and you would like to support the development new versions of this application consider downloading Mono Bluetooth Router Pro. Thank you!
Supports Android 2.2 and higher.
Make sure your bluetooth headset is switched on before start the application.
On android 4.0 please make sure you switch on routing before sound started to play.
Known Issues:
- Sound quality is not perfect. Unfortunately I still not found a way to deliver high quality of sound, though I am constantly looking for way to make it better. Still hope that low quality is better then no Bluetooth sound at all.
- Not all models supported;
- On some issues of Samsung Galaxy S2 - the native music player is not working - please use third party MP3 music player;
- On some issues of Samsung Galaxy S3 - the sound from microphone also routing through the headset so you hear all noises around that makes program useless;
- Sometimes the program is being killed by Android so music goes trough loudspeakers on full volume;
I still looking for ways to fix these issue, sorry for inconvenience, hoping to find workarounds for these issues.
I welcome any feedbacks from you. Both positive or negative feedbacks are helping me make this application better! Thank you so much!

- The app doesn't work with the default player of some Samsung phones. We suggest you try to use music player like Mixzing, PowerAMP, Winamp, DoubleTwist, Songbird etc.
- The app doesn't work with HTC Beats as it has its own Beats sound system and overrides external equalizer control.
1) In Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the long press command are reserved by the Google Now (personal assistant). It causes the Headset app could not react to the long press assigned operation.

Spirit1: Real FM Radio
Spirit1 is a real, tuned, "over the air" FM radio app. It is NOT a streaming app which requires expensive data plans and drains your battery.
Thanks !
The focus of Spirit is on AOSP ROMs. If you don't know what AOSP is, Spirit is likely not the app for you, and you should stick with the stock FM app. Further details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50954346&postcount=7641
Satisfaction guaranteed or full refund. Cancel any time on request, within 30 days. To cancel, email email@example.com with at least your name, email of purchase, and/or order ID or email receipt.
If you're an average phone user, & don't know what Android "rooting" is, Spirit will likely not offer you much more than your stock FM app. If your phone does not have a stock FM app, it is unlikely that Spirit will work on it.
Spirit is mostly for Android enthusiasts who "root" & "ROM" their phones. But it also works on many stock, "store bought" phones.
Spirit Unlocked includes:
- Digital audio features supported ONLY on: ROOTED Non-stock AOSP International Galaxy S/S2/S3/Note/Note2/Player, HTC One/OneXL/OneS/Evo 4G LTE/Xperia T and most Sony 2012+ devices.
- RDS data display in App, Lock-screen & Notification window. RT, PS, PTY, PI & AF RadioText RT, Program Service PS, Program Type PTY, Program ID PI & Alternate Frequency AF.
- Lock-screen & Wired Headset Media Button support for mute, preset, seek, volume & record.
- Many settings: Audio, UI, AF, Digital & Debug categories.
- Unlimited Presets & Preset Lists.
FAQ / Frequently Asked Questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31983089
! IMPOSSIBLE Devices: ALL Nexus & MANY Samsung & other devices have FM purposely & unfixably disabled in hardware. No app can EVER fix that. Email for refund & explanation of Google's false "compatability" checking. NO FM for GALAXY S4/S5, Note3/Note4, Tab, All US Galaxy S/Note class phones, Motorola flagships, and MANY more
I understand the price may seem high, but this is a niche app with 10,000 hours of work required over 3+ years. How many other "Real FM Radio" apps are on Google Play ? Almost none.
Why ? Because Android FM is extremely difficult. Google doesn't support FM radio and carriers suppress it. Intensive reverse engineering is required. In the over 3 years since Spirit was first created, nobody else has been "crazy" enough to attempt to compete in this niche (OTA radio) within a niche (AOSP ROMs) or without (all phones with usable FM).
Spirit is not a throwaway game app you play for a few days. How many hours will you spend listening to FM radio in the next several years ?
How much can you save on data plans by listening to free, over the air radio versus streaming ?
If you care about app quality, note CNet article "We're not paying enough for apps": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23568502&postcount=2523
I'm one developer and Spirit is my only substantial app and income. I'm trying to do a job Google said they couldn't for lack of developer resources. :)
Your support for Spirit is appreciated.

Common Questions/Answers for Poweramp v2.x:
Q. My songs are missing from folders/library.
A. Please ensure you have all your folders with music actually checked in Poweramp Settings => Folders and Library => Music Folders.
Your original Android Library is not changed, nor any files deleted.
Poweramp library is a separate, completely independent library. When you installed Poweramp 2.0, it just got filled with the files scanned from your sd card/other flash memory, as specified in Music Folders.
Q. Volume too low. Volume changes weirdly. Other volume issues.
A. Try to disable Direct Volume Control in Poweramp Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks.
Poweramp 2.x uses Direct Volume Control by default on 2.3+ mid-to-high end devices. On stock ROMs this produces much better audio output. But many custom/buggy ROMs, while supporting DVC, can fail with it.

Early Girl Tomato Plant Wilting - Pruning?
I searched the forums and found a few answers as to why my early girl tomato plant may be wilting. I put a water plate beneath the pot and, sure enough, the low soil started sucking up the water like a shriveled sponge. Already the plant is showing signs of perking up, the few tomatoes on the plant are healthy and overall there doesn't seem to be any signs of pests or caterpillars infestation. So, I'm hopeful. But what I have noticed is that the plant isn't yielding very much fruit; it has maybe 10-15 right now (due to a storm this past week, the plant took a topple and lost most of its young fruit before I was able to shelter it), but it has a lot of leaf at the base and the top (primarily the top).
Despite being dehydrated, it's still got tons of young leaves trying to thrive. My question is, should I be pruning it? And what should I be pruning? Do I allow the new leaves to keep growing - and what about the larger ones? I should also mention that these leaves are not on fruit-bearing stems, and they're several stems away from ones that are fruit-bearing. I didn't want to over-prune, so some advice would be great! I can post pictures if necessary.
I'm pretty new at this, and this plant was just a $7 "tester" plant from a local greenhouse. (By tester I mean- it was just a little investment to see if I could keep something alive for more than a week.. haha..)
Hi, you need the leaves for photosynthesis. Only prune the very lowest leaves. You prune the suckers growing between the main stem and lateral stems. They will produce fruit but slow down what you have right now. Also, how often are you watering and fertililizing? Tomatoes need water but don't like too much and the are heavy feeders. If you are using containers, depending on the size you might have to water at least once a day either early morning or late afternoon, and don't let the leaves get wet.
I've been pruning the lower leaves, suckers and some of the large leaves at the top (but only the ones that have been yellowing or otherwise appearing unhealthy or nibbled at), there's still lots of top leaves though. When it was extremely wilted, I over-watered it a bit, but only from the tray beneath rather than the top of the soil. It went from wilted to perky within the afternoon, so now I'm just watering (again from the dish beneath) in the morning to keep the soil just wet enough that it doesn't seize up. Leaves have been kept dry. What should I be ideally "feeding" it? I've used Miracle Gro since bringing it home but am open to other options.
I recommend Mykes organic fertilizer. You should use something for tomatoes. It should have a higher K content than N(nitrogen). I would not use Miracle Gro because you could end up with more leaves than fruit. It's okay to water in the pot as long as you do it slowly and thoroughly and making sure it doesn't sit in water. If what you're doing seems to be working then that's ok. I do container plantings and it's always a challenge to make sure they don't dry out or get over watered.

When he left, Ichiro didn't put a curse on Seattle – he lifted one
A clever ESPN writer, Steve Etheridge, just noticed that it hasn't rained for a while in Seattle. And he noticed that it hasn't rained here since July 22 — the last day Ichiro Suzuki was a member of the Mariners. Of course, that leads to just one conclusion. "Did Ichiro curse Seattle with a drought?" […] [Read More]
The anatomy of a winning streak
The Mariners completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday, after outfielder Eric Thames drove in two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and Tom Wilhelmsen tossed a scoreless ninth for the save in a 3-1 win.

GM Jack Zduriencik keeps veterans in town to help young Mariners grow
After trading away relievers Brandon League and Steve Delabar on Monday, the Mariners didn't make any last-minute moves before Tuesday's MLB trade deadline.

Yankees broadcaster on M's plunking batters: 'That's enough of this, Seattle'
On Tuesday, Mariners ace Felix Hernandez hit Ichiro Suzuki and Derek Jeter with pitches before the main event: plunking Alex Rodriguez and breaking his hand. But by Wednesday, when M's reliever Josh Kinney followed suit by hitting Jeter again, it seems the Yankees' broadcast team had had enough. "You know, I'm sure none of these […] [Read More]
Poll: How do you feel about the Ichiro Suzuki trade?
The Mariners traded superstar Ichiro Suzuki to the New York Yankees on Monday after 11 1/2 years in Seattle. And, as the Yanks are in town this week, he suited up in road grays Monday and took the field at Safeco as a non-Mariner for the first time in his MLB career. Turns out, Suzuki […] [Read More]
For the Seattle Mariners, it's the end of the Ichiro Era
On Oct. 17, 2000, the Seattle Mariners lost Game Six of the American League Championship Series to the New York Yankees, who were en route to their third consecutive World Series title. Raul Ibanez started for the Mariners in right field that night, while Alex Rodriguez started at shortstop and hit an eighth-inning home run […] [Read More]
Ichiro says his first game with Yankees was 'a wonderful day to experience'
How could Ichiro Suzuki's first at-bat in a Yankee uniform at Safeco Field have gone any other way? Mere hours after the superstar was dealt to the New York Yankees for a pair of prospects Monday afternoon, Suzuki found himself starting in right field and batting eighth against the team for which he played the […] [Read More]
Ichiro: 'I am overcome with emotion' when I think about leaving the Mariners
Ichiro Suzuki is no longer a Seattle Mariner — he is now a New York Yankee, on a team that's sitting atop its division with a good chance of going far in this year's playoffs. The Mariners, a young team in the basement of the A.L. West, traded the superstar on Monday in return for […] [Read More]
Mariners trade Ichiro Suzuki to New York Yankees for two prospects

Ichiro Suzuki ain't quite the ballplayer he used to be. After 10-straight 200-hit seasons, he batted .272 last year and is now struggling around .260. That still makes him one of the best batters on the Seattle Mariners, but that's not saying much this season. He began the year batting third in the lineup, and […] [Read More]

Truth in Lending Act Compliance Checklist Now Available
December 21, 2009
Are you ready to comply with the new rules on private education loans by February 14? All institutions will need to provide students with self-certification forms upon request, and those providing any institutional loans, non-Title IV federal loans, or other loans processed by the institution will need to comply with disclosure and timing rules as well.
NACUBO has prepared a checklist that outlines key provisions of the new Federal Reserve Board rules implementing changes in the Truth-in-Lending Act. Steps you need to take and decisions that need to be made are highlighted, and links are provided to the regulatory language and official interpretations. The statutory changes, adopted last year as part of the Higher Education Opportunity Act, are intended to encourage students to borrow less expensive federal loans first and provide greater consumer protections for private loan borrowers. The definition of private education loan is very broad, however, and includes most institutional loans.
The regulations take effect on February 14. Compliance is optional for any loan transactions for which an application was received before that date, even if the loan is consummated after February 14.

Jack Marshall | December 28, 2010 | Comments
Social network omits Google's AdSense and SocialVibe's network, which runs ads in FarmVille.
Facebook said it will only permit developers to monetize their applications using ads from third-party networks it pre-approves. The move is designed to give Facebook the ability to more closely control advertiser content that users are exposed to through the site.
The social network has introduced a list of ad providers that have agreed to its Platform Terms for Advertising Providers, which other ad networks must agree to before running ads in applications on the site.
"Developers must only use services from companies that appear on this list, any other provider is prohibited," the company said, adding, "We hope that by providing this list of companies that have acknowledged their commitment to advertising quality that we can all foster a better user experience."
To date, the list of 14 approved providers includes RockYou, Underdog Media, and Tapjoy. Interestingly it currently omits Google's AdSense and SocialVibe's network, which runs ads alongside popular Zynga games including FarmVille and Café World.
Those networks must agree to the advertiser terms to continue serving ads into applications, Facebook implied. Since the terms have only just been introduced, however, it's unclear when or if Facebook will begin enforcing the requirements. At present ads from SocialVibe are still appearing in FarmVille, for example, despite the fact the network is not yet an approved provider.
Facebook has faced criticism this past year for allowing applications to transmit user data to other third parties and advertising partners. The new terms suggest the company is hoping to keep closer tabs on the way its users' data is being used.
The company attracted the attention of U.S. regulators earlier this year when news emerged that users' Facebook IDs were being transmitted to advertisers through various applications.
The terms now appear to expressly prohibit the transfer of that type of data, requiring an approved ad provider to ensure that "it does not use any data received (directly or indirectly) from Facebook. The Advertising Provider further certifies that it does not possess any data obtained from Facebook, including user data, Facebook User IDs or usernames, and agrees to prevent the receipt of such data in the future."

How has the month of April sped by so quickly? It was one of the first months in recent memory when I literally didn't go anywhere. Luckily, I have two fun trips on deck: Boston and Nantucket next week, and Delray, Miami and Key West in June!
For the time being, though, I've had to live vicariously through my fellow members of the Luxury Travel Blog Network.

A Luxury Travel Blog reviews the Flying Butler apartments in London's Kingston-Upon-Thames. The Flying Butler service assists with dry cleaning, airport transfers, restaurant reservations, and theater tickets. Pretty cool service worth checking out next time you're in Blighty.
Travel Panties crafts the perfect getaway in Antigua. Apparently, there are direct flights from JFK – who knew? She recommends the Carlisle Bay Hotel and Campbell Gray Hotel.
Finally, Luxury Travel Mom went to New York City, where she spoke at the Momtrends conference on What's Trending in Travel? She spoke to travel legend Wendy Perrin, Henrietta Loyd of travel planning firm cazenove + loyd, Amie O'Shaughnessy of family travel website Ciao Bambino, and her own travel agent, and here's what she learned .

Christy N.Oakhurst, CAHairLight BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGet Ready... Set... Blow!Get ready... set... BLOW! I love that fact that this dryer has 2 speeds & 3 temperatures. I never understood why a dryer had a cold air button until my fantastic hairdresser explained to me that the cold air actually sets the hair. Oh... got it! I use the cold air button on the front of my hair so it lays smoothly. When I do that, then I don't need to use a flat iron. Now, because I am used to my older hair dryer it seemed like this dryer took longer to dry my hair. That might be due to the thickness of my hair. I have tons of hair (you should see the floor after my hair cut). It also may be due to the fact that I am not used to this dryer. Every dryer is different and takes time to adjust to how to use it properly. I do love the dryer... and will continue to use it daily. Thanks Folica!

GREAT PRODUCT, GREAT PRICE, ACTUALLY LOOKS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT IT ISRead More
Outstanding Product
This unit is an amazing piece that is simple but a statment piece. For over 3 months my husband and I looked EVERYWHERE to find the perfect unit to house our components. We wanted something functional, but elegant and modern. We needed certain colors, height and width dimensions and also wanted to hide everything behind glass doors. This unit was PERFECT! The stand is made of high quality materials, every piece fits perfectly, and instructions are clear and complete. Infrared devices can be used for electronics kept inside the smoked glass doors. Very happy with our purchase!Read More
Arrived assembled in perfect condition
glad I purchased this unit!!!! The item arrived assembled in perfect condition. Solid, super heavy, and sleek. the remote control signal easily penetrates the glass without any issue. Absolutely delighted with the quality and functionality of this product. No question I would buy another Modloft product and especially would recommend this product.Read More

Excellent entertainment center
Love the entertainment center my new 55 inch Samsung TV looks awesome. Very modern and sleek. The delivery guys did a great job bringing it into my apt please note that it is tricky to get into a small corridor. Once it was inside it looked beautiful highly recommend plus the price was the lowest - great job O!Read More
Why the negative reviews??
I must first admit that I purchased the Lexington IN SPITE OF the reviews left here, but am glad I took the plunge. First of all, some reviews say it was hard to put together...the item arrived assembled in perfect condition. Second, I can say for certain it's solid and wood, but I have no clue what type of wood...and don't care. It is super heavy which to me suggests it's solid (?). Beyond that, the remote control sails right through the glass without any issues, although I am opening the glass to one side so I can see the channel on my cable box. In short, my living room looks fantastic with it, and I would whole-heartedly recommend it.Read More
Such a beautiful quality piece of furniture. Very functional as well. You will not be dissapointed.Read More
Sleek Modern and Goregous
I bought this in white and it has a beautiful glossy finish. It looks great in my living room. It weighs a freakin' ton. The delivery guys unpacked it, brought it in and set it on its side so I could attach the feet. I had to have the gardeners set it upright the next day. One small issue, one of the shelves sat a little uneven but I was able to fix it with a shim, so no a big deal.Read More
Great Product, Excellent Delivery
I had been looking for a contemporary entertainment center but did not want to spend a fortune. I loved the looks of this unit and also the price but was worried it might not be good quality as the price was much lower than other units. Not to worry -- the wood and steel and are high quality and the construction is very solid. The door and drawers are perfectly aligned and slide well. I particularly like that this unit has tinted glass fronts that cover the area where the cable box, DVD, etc. is stored so that the items are concealed but the remote control signals still penetrate through. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend the unit highly to anyone interested. Also, the delivery service was superb. There was some assembly required which was all done by the delivery guys and they placed the item inside the house exactly where we wanted it.Read More
Questions & Answers
Thank you for shopping with us mailaumai. Yes you will be able to use your remote with the glass doors closed. Have a great day.
Are the feet required for stability? Do I have to use the feet? I am looking for a unit that is under 20 inches in height. How many inches are the feet?
Unfortunately this item is out of stock. We currently do not have inventory to check, and cannot guarantee the item will be restocked.
We're considering getting this to help childproof our home, and because our current TV stand is old and ugly from when we were in college. Do you know if a toddler could slide open the glass doors? If so, any idea about baby-proofing them? Thanks!
A child or toddler will be able to slide the glass doors open. We would recommend getting stoppers or locks specifically made for glass sliding doors if you decide to purchase this item.
Is the 20 inch height with or without the legs attached?
The overall dimensions of 94 inches long x 23 inches deep x 20 inches high are when the item is fully assembled. 20 inches high is with the legs attached.

How to Choose an Entertainment Center
One piece of furniture that often finds itself as the centerpiece of any room it occupies is the entertainment center. These media storage solutions are sold in every, shape, size, and color, which means there's one for every preference. When you're shopping, the sheer multitude of entertainment centers can seem overwhelming, but don't fret; here are some helpful hints on how to choose an entertainment center. By considering all these points, you're sure to find the entertainment center that best suits your needs.
Entertainment Center Buying Guide
While your television set may be the focal point of your home entertainment activities, what it sits on -- or in -- says a lot about who you are. Is your TV still sitting atop that beaten up particle board TV stand that you bought at a garage sale 10 years ago? Perhaps it's time to upgrade your living room furniture, starting with a new entertainment center. Home entertainment centers have been around a long time and have evolved quite a bit from the massive wooden cabinets of the 1960s and 1970s. Which entertainment center is right for you will depend on what you want to use it for, the components you want it to store and your personal taste in furniture.
Tips on Buying an Entertainment Center
Making your television the focal point of your living room also puts your entertainment center in the spotlight. An entertainment center is more than just a place to store your TV. The right one is an accent to your home's decor. There are many options to choose from, so taking the time to think about logistics will ensure that you pick the right entertainment center for your home.
How to Buy a Quality Entertainment Center
An entertainment center is often the focal point of a living room, especially for families that spend much of their time watching movies, playing video games or enjoying weekly sports events. Before purchasing an entertainment center, think about the needs you will have for it, including storage options for movies and video games, the size of TV you will use and shelves you may need for game consoles, DVD players or stereos. Look below to learn how to buy a quality entertainment center.
How to Clean a Corner Entertainment Center
When you're tight on space, a corner entertainment center can fulfill all your entertainment needs in a fraction of the space. Picking up a corner entertainment center could be the perfect touch to complete your family room. Because most television stands are generally laden with a TV, video game console, DVD player and other entertainment odds and ends, it can be easy to neglect cleaning them. However, considering a good deal of attention is focused on your corner TV stand, it might be worth a good cleaning every now and then. Considering dust seems to gravitate to the corners of any room, you might want to do this more often than not; however, not all types of corner TV stands should be cleaned the same way, depending on material. The next time your corner entertainment center looks like it could use some sprucing up, use these tips to keep it sparkling for years to come.
Media Center Buying Guide
With all the new audio and video options available for home theater systems, it may be time to consolidate all of your entertainment electronics into a single media center. This media center buying guide will help you determine which components to consider when assembling a media center so that you can have the best picture quality and amazing sound in a unified system that's simple to use.
Why the iPod Nano is Your Ideal Music Center
Not often do you find so much entertainment in a package as small as the iPod Nano. This little MP3 player can become the center of your audio world, functioning as both your portable music player and as an audio source for your home or car stereo. Here are a few of the highlights that make the iPod Nano the ideal music center.
LCD TV Buying Guide
Your TV is the center of your home entertainment system. Among televisions, flat-panel TVs are rising in popularity every year. LCD TVs have proven to be affordable entertainment displays with attractive picture quality. This LCD TV buying guide will help you decide how to buy an LCD TV that works best for your situation.
How to Clean Wood Furniture
Your wood furniture is an investment worth protecting. Fortunately, preserving the appearance of your wood furniture is a simpler task than you might think. Learning how to clean wood furniture is easy, and with a bit of maintenance, you can keep everything from entertainment centers, to tables, to wood office furniture looking beautiful for decades. Here are some helpful tips.
Road Trip DVD Player Checklist
A couple of your family's favorite movies can help keep boredom at bay during your next road trip. All you need is a simple DVD player setup for your vehicle and a few accessories to help you create a mobile entertainment center. Here are some basic items to include with your portable DVD player to keep everyone happy on your next long trip.
How to Connect iPods to Your Media Center
Digital music, movies and photos free you from the constraints of having physical media such as CDs and DVDs to enjoy your entertainment; iPods allow you to bring put hours of video and days' worth of music into a portable device. All of that media storage capacity makes iPods the perfect media libraries to connect to your TV and sound system. Below are a few iPod accessories with options for connecting your iPod to nearly any media center.
TV Stand Buying Guide
Lately, television consoles, stands and storage racks have been exhibiting updated designs, sporting storage for your media essentials in models that are tastefully coordinated to the rest of your living room furniture. Compact TV stands and corner TV stands are convenient in smaller apartments, dorm rooms and offices, but even large homes can benefit from the clean look and discreet presence of a television stand. As more people upgrade to lean flat-panel televisions, they are seeing that the smaller size of a TV stand is all they need. The furniture industry usually reserves the term "entertainment center" for the largest TV furniture, big enough for the television, a cadre of audio or video components and a full CD-DVD collection. TV stands tend to be smaller than full entertainment centers while still having enough shelves for a few components and some media storage. For smaller homes or for smaller rooms in larger homes a stand may be all the TV furniture you need.
How to Install a Blu-ray Disc Drive on Your Computer
By now you know that Blu-ray disc players are the next big thing in home theater entertainment. You may already have upgraded your old DVD player to a Blu-ray disc player for the high-definition picture and sound. Now that you've upgraded your home entertainment center to high definition, you may be looking at the video quality on your computer and wondering if you can't upgrade that to Blu-ray as well. Well, you can. Blu-ray drives and other optical drives are available on a number of new laptop and desktop computers, or you can install a new Blu-ray drive on your existing computer. Follow these simple steps to learn how to install your own Blu-ray drive and upgrade your computer to high-definition sound and video.
How to Make a Patio Comfortable
For some people, the patio isn't exactly a comfortable place of relaxation and enjoyment. When all you have is an old deck chair or a beat-up barbecue grill on your patio, you won't want to spend much time out there. Your patio could be a center for entertaining friends and family with backyard barbecues or low-key evening affairs of wine and conversation. All you need is a few design tips to make your garden or patio comfortable, inviting and fashionable.
How to Arrange Family Room Furniture
Family rooms are usually the entertainment center of the house. Family rooms use living room furniture but are typically arranged in a more family-functional way than a formal living room. Family rooms are so named because they are usually where the family gathers to enjoy each other's company, whether for conversation, watching movies or playing board games. Arrange the furniture in your family room to accommodate these family activities.
How to Choose a Coffee Table
Usually, a coffee table is the center point of a sitting area. This area might be a small, cozy place with a sofa and a couple of chairs, a medium-sized family room that needs to be inviting for kids and their friends or an elegant living room designed for entertaining guests. You'll want to keep several considerations in mind when choosing your coffee table, including size, material, style and function. Taking a little time to prepare for the purchase can help you find a great addition to your existing furniture.
FAQs about Home Theater Systems
Home theater rooms have become a highly valued addition to new homes and a favorite home-improvement project for older homes. Home audio components for surround sound and home theater speaker systems used to be prohibitively expensive, but they are now extremely affordable. You can now turn your entertainment center into an inexpensive home theater. But before you start designing your own home theater system, consider these frequently asked questions about both high-end and more affordable home theater systems.
Top 5 TV Mount Types
A great way to open up space in your home theater room or living room is to get rid of that bulky entertainment center and fix your flat panel TV to the wall with a television mount. TV mounts are great because they remove the need for a TV cabinet while anchoring your TV securely to the wall. If you're thinking about mounting your TV, consider the position and functionality you want your TV to have. Thinking about TV position can help you decide what type of TV wall mount you need. Here are the top five TV mounts you may want to use.
Tips on Building Your Own Home Theater System
Home-improvement projects offer challenge and reward. One of the most rewarding do-it-yourself electronics projects is building your own home theater system. Whether you plan on building your home theater room from scratch or adding a surround-sound system to your existing entertainment center, there are plenty of home audio options to fit your plans. Here are a few tips to help get your home theater project started.
Tips for Installing a TV Wall Mount

The 2008 collapse of the housing market had many causes, including subprime mortgages, lax lending standards, and land use regulations. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must be eliminated to allow for a better-functioning, private housing finance industry and to eliminate the risk of taxpayer-funded bailouts. Land use deregulation will also help revive housing markets.
