Cricketers salute Tendulkar ahead of his 40th birthday
Approaching his 40th birthday, Sachin Tendulkar's "insatiable hunger and incredible talent" has fetched him glowing tributes from fellow cricketers who say the batting great's longevity and passion for the game can never be surpassed.
Tendulkar, regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in modern-day cricket, will turn 40 on April 24 and some of his contemporary cricketers doffed their hats for his unprecedented achievements on the cricket field.
While former India skipper Sourav Ganguly rated Tendulkar as the greatest player he had ever seen, Australia captain Michael Clarke said his passion for the game is unprecedented.
"Suffice to say, he is the greatest cricketer I have ever seen. I haven't seen Bradman, but he is as close to perfection as you can get. His insatiable hunger, combined with incredible talent, makes him a real genius. When people criticise him, all I point to them is the 100 international hundreds," Ganguly said in an article published in 'Outlook' magazine, which has brought out a special edition on the legendary batsman to commemorate his birthday.
The special edition carries brief articles on Tendulkar from several former and current players, administrators and celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan and Lata Mangeshkar who have known the batting maestro for long.
"The difference between Sachin and a really good player is the latter, if he scores a hundred in the first innings and has once again scored a fifty in the second, will, in all likelihood, play one loose shot thereafter. It happens to us all. Sachin, however, will leave nothing to chance and will get the second innings hundreds as well," Ganguly wrote.
"That's why I always say that (Brian) Lara was a great and Ponting too was a brilliant, but Sachin, without any hesitation, is the greatest. He is the best I have ever seen and will perhaps ever see. No batsman in the next 50 years can score 100 international hundreds," added the former skipper.
Ganguly said his favourite Tendulkar knock came against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
"This is about the 2003 World Cup in South Africa. It was a tournament where we played some of our best cricket ever and Sachin was in imperious form right through. Before the tournament there was a debate over his batting position. I felt he should bat at number four and guide the middle order.
"Needless to say, I was wrong. We had a meeting in South Africa between John Wright, Anil Kumble, Sachin and myself, and Anil suggested that he should open the batting for us. I asked Sachin what he wanted to do and he preferred to bat at the top of the order," recollected Ganguly.
Clarke said Sachin's uniqueness was his ability to keep the intensity going even after 24 years of playing international cricket.
"When you have achieved the amount Sachin has, it is very easy to let your guard down. Sachin's uniqueness is his ability to keep the intensity going even after 24 years of international cricket. He still chases every ball hard, runs every single with intensity, appeals with great passion and celebrates like a youngster.
"Such passion for the game is unprecedented and I think every youngster should learn from him," said Clarke.
Former India coach Gary Kirsten felt whether he saw Tendulkar as an opposition player or as his coach, his view about the legendary batsman never changed.
"I have always found Sachin to be a thoroughly decent person. He is a humble man considering his cricket status around the world. He is cricket's greatest role model and continues to provide a great example for young aspiring cricketers on how to conduct oneself throughout one's career.
"Although I got to know him better when I was with the Indian team, my views have never changed," said Kirsten.
The South African said Tendulkar always puts the team above self.
"I felt he had a fantastic presence in the dressing room without having to say too much. I used to really enjoy watching him have conversations with the young players on how to deal with match situations. In the time I was with the team, I always felt he had a strong desire for the team to do well, regardless of his own personal success."
Recollecting his most memorable moment of Tendulkar, Kirsten said, "I love spending time in the nets with Sachin. His desire to continue asking questions and learn about his game will long live with me. However, the evening his wife Anjali came up to me to say thank you for everything I had done will remain a highlight of my coaching career."
Former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath said while a glare or a few aggressive words from him rattled most batsmen, the same strategy hardly worked against Tendulkar.
"I always felt it made him more determined. My success against him came when I didn't say a great deal. I realised quickly it was best not to talk too much," McGrath said.
Citing an incident, which McGrath said he would never forget, The Australian recalled: "I remember clearly the days he smashed us around for 100s, but also the World Cup back in 2003 when he hit me for four off the second ball and I happened to get him out next ball.
"I'll always remember Sachin as a quality cricketer, one of the best of all time. Importantly, he is also a great bloke, one of the nicest I have met in the game."
Sri Lanka spin legend Muttiah Muralitharan said Tendulkar inspired him to play positively and aggressively.
"I saw the curly-haired cricketer for the first time in 1993. Soon after his debut a few years ago, he was the most spoken-about and discussed and was also touted as the next big thing in cricket. He was just 19 and I had not seen much of Sachin then. He didn't open the innings, he'd come out to bat at No. 5 in the one-dayers.
"When he stepped onto the ground, everyone was speaking about his talent, but I was wondering if this young bloke was really good enough to challenge us...I thought he is much greater than what people think, he was better than some of the established players," said the former Sri Lankan bowler.
"Sachin inspired me, because I thought if such a young player could play positively and aggressively, then I can surely put in hard work and contribute to the team success."
Muralitharan said Tendulkar was the world's no.1 player in his list.
"He is the world no.1 in my list simply because of the way he has performed at the highest level for such a long time. In that journey, I also take into account the number of years he's been on the road, records by his name. In fact, statistically too, he has performed much more than any other cricketer.
"He is a very quiet person, doesn't interact much, but I have always heard he is a great team man. He has always shown respect to his opponents, an important yardstick for a great cricketer," he said.
Muralitharan said the only bowler against whom Tendulkar ever struggled was Sri Lankan spinner Ajantha Mendis.
"I don't think he struggled a lot against opposition because he knows how to handle and play bowlers. But the only player who I saw him struggle against was Ajantha Mendis, when he first saw him during India's tour to Sri Lanka (in 2008)", he said.
"For the very first time I saw Sachin couldn't pick a bowler. But it was the only time and with his desire to outplay the opponent, Sachin analysed videos of Ajantha and picked him well in the next series," said Murali.
New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor was also all praise for Tendulkar's passion for the game and his mental toughness.
"It's Sachin's drive for success and his mental toughness that has sustained him. Nothing compares with his passion for the game and his hunger for success. He just loves to play cricket and has always enjoyed doing so. Unless you love the game as passionately as Sachin does, you cannot be around for as long as he has.
"I will forever remember Sachin as one of the greatest players of the game. In fact, it is something I look forward to telling my grandchildren in the future -- that I played against one of my childhood heroes. He has been one of the greatest cricketers ever and it has been a privilege playing with him and against him. It can surely rank as one of my cherished cricketing memories," said Taylor.
New Zealand's former pacer and current bowling coach Shane Bond said Tendulkar will go down as one of the game's all-time greats.
"His most important legacy would be the amazing run he has sustained for such a long time. It is just staggering for someone to be able to do that and for this reason alone Sachin will go down in the history as one of the game's all-time greats.
"When you add to this the way he played, the number of matches he has won for India, and the fact that he has played all formats of the game with distinction and is still playing the IPL, you are left slack-jawed!," said Bond.
"I must say that Sachin has enriched world cricket immensely and has served the game well for 24 long years. And I am looking forward to enjoying what's left of this wonderful man's wonderful cricket career," he added.

'Walking with the Enemy' (PG-13)
A flawed but powerful World War II story, based on true events.
Good intentions and a good backstory don't necessarily lead to good filmmaking, but in the case of Walking with the Enemy, they certainly help. Sometimes awkward and melodramatic, the debut film from director Mark Schmidt nevertheless derives strength from its little-known, true-life story of Holocaust heroism.
Set in Budapest, Hungary, it chronicles the daring exploits of a young Jewish man, Elek Cohen (Jonas Armstrong), who uses his Aryan looks to rage against Hitler's machine. As Hungary is invaded by the Nazis, and well-meaning but weak politicians like Regent Horthy (Ben Kingsley) find themselves powerless to stop the roundups of Jews, including Elek's family, Elek hatches a plan: steal the uniforms from dead Nazi officers, act official, and use his purloined authority to divert trainloads of Jews bound for certain death to secret safety.
It's an inherently suspenseful and dramatic tale, and Schmidt manages some nerve-twisting moments when it seems as if Cohen's subterfuge will be unmasked. Irish actor Armstrong possesses a gung-ho energy while Kingsley and Burn Gorman (Torchwood, Turn), as Nazi toady Col. Skorzeny, provide some dramatic gravitas.
But Enemy is nearly undone by a pedestrian, by-the-numbers approach (there are 11 credited writers, including Schmidt), a sometimes intrusive score, and the feeling that the close calls may have less to do with historical accuracy and more with just ramping up the tension. (While the Cohen character is indeed fictional, it was inspired by Pinchas Tibor Rosenbaum, a Jewish Hungarian man who assumed Nazi identities to help other Jews escape.)
When the credits roll and the viewer learns the fates of the actual historical figures, it's hard not to be moved. But less Cohen and more Rosenbaum — a documentary, perhaps — might have been the wiser way to go.
Cast: Jonas Armstrong, Ben Kingsley, Hannah Tointon, Burn Gorman, Simon Kunz.
Director: Mark Schmidt.
Screenwriter: Kenny Golde.
A Liberty Studios release. Running time: 124 minutes. War violence, adult themes. Opens Friday April 25 at area theaters.

Chanel, Valentino, YSL, Tom Ford, & More Will Go Green At The Golden Globes
This Sunday, Golden Globes red carpet walkers will be taking on a challenge other than 1) not tripping and 2) upstaging the Downton Abbey cast: wearing dresses and designs made using green processes. Championed by Livia Firth, producer and creative director of Eco Age, and wife of Colin Firth, the third annual Green Carpet Challenge will feature eco-friendly designs by Giorgio Armani, Chanel, Alberta Ferretti, Tom Ford, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Stella McCartney, Paul Smith, Valentino, Roger Vivier, and Ermenegildo Zegna.
All of designs will will be covered online, at Vogue UK. No word yet on what these designs will look like, or who they'll appear on, but if the looks are anything like Firth's 2009 gown (made from recycled pieces of Colin's old Tom Ford suits), watching for them during the pre-show might be just as fun as betting on whether or not Aziz Ansari will bring Blue Ivy as his date. Please visit Vogue UK to read up on past Green Carpet Challenges, and after the Golden Globes on Sunday night for the recap. (WWD)

Well, the Democratic primary election has passed in Oregon, and for once we did get the chance to vote in a primary while there was still a choice over who one of the party's nominees would be.
Yeah-yeah, I know… we Oregonians are bad Democratic voters for not bowing down to Queen Hillary and accepting the inevitable. But, what can I say? In Oregon we actually think for ourselves and just because the elites in the DNC and their mouth-pieces on CNN and the Washington Post tell us to do something, that doesn't necessarily mean we are going to do it. Sorry, DNC, but we don't roll that way in the Pacific Northwest.
That is not to say that I am a hard-core Bernie Sanders supporter. A couple of my family members and some of my co-workers did "feel the Bern", but I contented myself with going to a single Sanders rally and voting for him. I don't think Sanders is that great of a candidate, but he is the most palatable out of a horrible crop of presidential hopefuls in the 2016 cycle. As for the other side, there was not a single Republican out of this year's batch I considered qualified – each one seemed worse than the others every time any of them spoke on TV.
So, now our primary in Oregon has passed, the Sanders opposition is still alive, and Democratic voters in the June primaries will have at least one more chance to voice their preference before Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her DNC politburo can finally anoint their Precious Queen.
What can I say about this year's election so far? Nothing good, and it'll only get worse after Sanders is finally forced out of the nomination race. We will end up with a candidate with no charisma or leadership ability selected by an elite group of Ivy-League special interests who suppressed any alternative choices and ignored the wishes of their constituencies. We already have settled on another candidate who is an ignorant blow-hard sociopath and probably the least qualified person to ever receive a major party nomination. Click on Real Clear Politics and we have the Republican pundits saying the Democratic Party is "breaking up", and we have Democratic pundits saying the exact same thing about the Republicans. The Sanders (or Clinton) candidacy is "proof" of the breakdown of the Democratic Party. The Trump candidacy is "proof" of the breakdown of the Republican Party.
So, what does all that say about the US political system? Unfortunately, I think both the Trump and Clinton candidacies demonstrate that the US has reached a point in history in which our traditional political institutions are no longer able to function. Most political systems reach that point in their development, when political and governmental elites are no longer willing or capable of representing the needs of the public, in which the nation is led by individuals who are not grounded in reality. In the US this process started with George W. Bush, has continued with the current President, and is guaranteed to intensify next year, regardless whether Trump or Clinton wins the November election.
Because the US two-party political system has been around for so long, we are lulled into believing it will continue to exist in its current form into the foreseeable future. History teaches there is no reason to make such an assumption. The US constitutional system of representative democracy will come to an end at some point and be replaced with something else. I think in this primary season we are seeing glimpses of what the future might be: a corrupt politburo-style special-interest-oriented candidate versus an un-qualified narcissistic demagogue.

Another take on making USB fashionable and wearable. This portable 2GB USB drive is embedded in a wood case that can be worn as fashion accessory around your neck. It comes with a leather neck strap.
Implications - USBs were simple storage devices, but since their popularity has risen, designers are spinning them into dual-purpose items. Brands such as Mimoco have come up with customized USBs with pop cultural icons, giving the device some street cred. With this memory stick being transformed into a necklace, this concept may inspire people to transform other technological accessories into other fashionable jewelry pieces as well.

Tom Hanks to star as Walt Disney in new film about the making of 'Mary Poppins' (+video)
For the first time, Walt Disney will be a featured character in a Disney film. Tom Hanks is set to play Disney in the upcoming film titled "Saving Mr. Banks" this winter.
But the movie is about much more than Disney himself, as the plot reveals the story of how Disney's popular film "Mary Poppins" came to be. Emma Thompson stars as P.L. Travers, the author of "Mary Poppins" who eventually allowed Disney to re-create her story on screen.
"Twenty years ago I made a promise to my daughters that I would make your 'Mary Poppins' fly off the pages of your book," Hanks says in the newly released trailer.
Background information was given on the "Mary Poppins" 40th Anniversary DVD, stating that Walt Disney first attempted to purchase the rights to Travers' "Mary Poppins" as early as 1938. More than 20 years passed as Disney tried to persuade Travers to allow him to make the film. Disney found success in 1961 with Travers demanding script approval rights.
In preparation for the film, IMDB reports that Tom Hanks made several visits to the Walt Disney Family Museum and interviewed some of Disney's relatives, including his daughter, Diane Disney Miller.
The film will be released in December 2013 and is the fifth Walt Disney feature film to be rated PG-13, behind "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," "John Carter" and "The Lone Ranger."

Justice selected for science training
State Supreme Court Justice Matthew A. Rosenbaum has been chosen to participate in a national program that trains judges to preside over cases with complex scientific issues.
Rosenbaum, who was appointed to the court in 2005 and elected to a 14-year-term later that year, is one of three New York judges — and the only one outside New York City — to attend the Advanced Science and Technology Adjudication Resource Program.
Rosenbaum of Penfield will be trained with other judges in Annapolis, Md. They'll take courses on genetics and genetic testing, diseases, stem cell research, nanotechnology and computer science.

Sony Sports Walkman NWZ-W260 goes for gold
Who said that the Sony Walkman was dead eh? Well, we did actually, but the legendary brand keeps a coming. The Sony Sports Walkman NWZ-W260 has just been announced - a sporty little number designed with fitness fanatics in mind.
The W260 is wire free (the player is built into the 'phones) and is water resistant - so it can handle a run in the rain, or a heavy session with a sweaty-Betty. You can even give them a wash after a strenuous work-out and they'll still be good to go.
They are drag and drop compatible but you can also sync your music from iTunes if you'd prefer. They also boast Sony's Zappin tech - which helps you to find exactly the tune you're after to get you motivated (Eye of the Tiger, obviously).
With a fully charged playback time of 8 hours, they are suitable for even the slowest of marathon runners and a 3-minute charge should get you through a 60-minute workout, no problem.
To celebrate the launch of the Walkman W260, Sony has teamed up with Olympic hopeful Marlon Devonish, who's either super keen on the new design, or is contractually obliged to say he is (or both).
"The Sports Walkman keeps me going through all of my workouts in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games," he said . "The sound is amazingly clear and helps get me 'in the zone' when I'm training, and I love that it's both wireless and water-resistant so I never interrupt a training session."
The Sony Sports Walkman NWZ-W260 will be out at the end of July - no word on pricing (or how many GBs are on board either).

Elements 11 - How to imprint date

Does anyone know how to imprint the date onto a jpeg photo using Elements 11? I take a lot of casual pictures of kids (nephews and nieces) and it would be nice to have the date on each picture. Thanks.

Slayer's Tom Araya Addresses Gun Control Debate in Switzerland
Slayer's Tom Araya spoke openly to a Swiss crowd, sharing his thoughts on gun control and being able to protect yourself against invaders.
Widely regarded as the ultimate thrash metal band, Slayer did much to introduce and establish the genre throughout the 1980s, alongside fellow Los Angeles natives Metal-lica and Megadeth, and New York's Anthrax — collectively known as the Big Four. As the most extreme and lyrically controversial member of that exclusive musical club, Slayer at first attracted a relatively modest (but devout) fan base until breaking through to a broader audience with their monumental third album, 1986's 'Reign in Blood.' The band proceeded to consolidate its dominant place in the heavy metal pantheon over the second half of that decade; and, unlike most peers, refused to alter its core sound throughout the more challenging 1990s. As the third millennium dawned, Slayer read-mitted original drummer Dave Lombardo and enjoyed a renewed period of recording and touring prosperity, leading up to 2013 and the drummer's latest departure, just months prior to the shocking death of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman. Nevertheless, remaining founding members, Kerry King (guitar) and Tom Araya (vocals/bass) show no signs of retiring Slayer, which is now rounded out by former Exodus guitarist Gary Holt and returning drummer Paul Bostaph.

Was having trouble with all pipes being backed up. Called roto rooter they sent mike over he was professional and had our pipes unclogged in no time
If you own a house or commercial building, you're bound to need a plumber at some point. Here's a list of the different kinds of plumbing services you might need assistance with:
Pipe Installation
You might only think of needing a plumber when the pipes in your house burst. However, a plumbing contractor also installs all of those pipes, whether they're made of PVC or copper, in your building. Professional plumbing services also lay pipe in place for wastewater, rainwater runoff and even air conditioning systems.
Not only do they install pipes, plumbers set up sewer lines and vents as well as gutters, down pipes and storage tanks for residential and commercial facilities.
Maintenance Work
Just like getting a regular oil change for your car or truck, your home's pipes and water system also need regular maintenance and check-ups to ensure they're running right. This is why plumbers also offer upkeep services to test your entire plumbing system on a monthly or biannual basis to catch any issues with your pipes before they become an emergency.
This type or work spans from moving a water line or cleaning a sewer line to installing an ice maker or even a hot tub.
Repair Services
Most likely, you'll need a plumber in case of an emergency repair. Services can run the gamut from repairing a clogged toilet and leaking faucets to replacing whole water heating systems. Some jobs can take just a few hours while others might require a day or two of work if the repairs are extensive, such as replacing a hot water heater.
Other tough jobs could require your plumbing contractor to put his or her carpentry skills to work by sawing through walls to get to your pipes.
You can also hire a plumber to get the cost-saving advice you need. If you're interested in buying a new home or property, it's smart to hire a contractor or a plumbing service to not only tell you if the building's foundation is sound, but also if the pipes are in good working order. You wouldn't want to purchase a new house and repair the damage someone else did to the property. This is why many plumbers also offer consultancy work to check a facility's water and gas systems and advise home and building owners on best practices they can perform to minimize damage to their pipes.
Having plumbing work done, whether it's for your home or business, can be incredibly expensive. That's why its vital for you to ask a plumbing service the right kind of questions before you hire them. You want to do as much due diligence on your part as possible to get a professional who will not only do quality work but also charge you a fair price for it.
It's best to hire a plumber to do a simple, everyday maintenance task for you first so you can judge his or her work. If you're happy with it, save their contact information so you'll have them on hand in case you need an emergency repair. This can spare you the extra worry and anxiety of having to track down a plumber if you have a broken pipe. Additionally, it can save you from being overcharged.
However, what should you ask a plumbing service if you've never even hired one before? Here are a few questions that can help you identify the professional from the amateur:
Are you licensed and registered?
Some states do not require plumbers to be licensed, but for the safety of your house, the people living under your roof and for your pocketbook, you'll want a licensed plumber to do the needed work.
A licensed plumber means the person completed the necessary education or training required to work as a professional tradesperson. Hiring a licensed plumbing service means the people working on your building are knowledgeable about water and gas pipes. If you use unlicensed workers, you run the risk of them damaging your home even further and endangering you by doing faulty work.
Check your state's laws beforehand, as hiring an unlicensed plumber could be illegal where you live.
Not only does a plumber's apprentices have to complete their training and education to receive their license, they also are required to pass a criminal background check and carry liability insurance. Hiring just anybody can make you vulnerable to fraud since unlicensed plumbers might not know what they're doing or could pretend to fix something and end up charging you for the incomplete work.
Are you insured and bonded?
A trustworthy plumber will have both commercial liability insurance as well as be bonded. The insurance and the bond protects the plumber from paying for any damages made to your house out of pocket. Having professionals that carry both of these policies can protect all of you from any mishaps that could occur while they work on your building. Remember, not all plumbers are the same and not all of them carry the necessary insurance and bonds to protect themselves and your home from damage or shoddy work.
How many years have you been in business?
Not only do you want a licensed and trustworthy professional, you'll want one who's been in business for a few years. More experience also means the plumber will have a prior work history you can check. A more inexperienced plumber might not have many customer reviews or examples of his or her work to show you.
What, if any, professional associations do you belong to?
It can never hurt to ask plumbers if they're part of a professional association, whether it's a state or national group. Being a part of a professional organization provides an extra guarantee that the person you hire is licensed and offers you a warranty for their labor.
May I have a list of references?
While it's advisable to ask friends, family and neighbors if they can recommend a good plumber, they might not have anyone you can call. With that said, it's best to ask a plumbing service for a list of references that you can contact to get a good picture of the kind of work their business does and if it's quality or not.
Before you hire a plumber, contact their past customers if you're able to. These people can be a wealth of information if you ask them the right questions. Pose the following queries to these former patrons when you get the chance:
Do you offer a written warranty for your work?
Whenever you make a large purchase, you always request a receipt, right? Well, you will want a written warranty for any work or repairs done to the plumbing in your house. You want someone that's doing major maintenance or repair work on your house or commercial building to stand by his or her labor. Before you hire a plumber, ask him or her if they offer written warranties.
Will I need a permit for this work?
If a plumber needs to do major repairs to your house, the work could call for a permit. You'll want this since a permit provides added assurance that the work is done correctly. Having this added measure in place means an inspector will check the work your contractor or plumber does to ensure he or she did the job correctly. If you ever plan on putting your house or commercial building on the market, a real estate agent and prospective buyers will also want to check any large work you did to make sure it was done properly.
To keep yourself safe from fraud or a possible scam, always remember to ask plumbers for their license along with a written warranty for their labor. Besides this, further safeguard yourself by checking their references and ensure they or their company is insured and bonded to do their work.
While it's smart to get maintenance work done on your pipes every once in a while, there are a number of prevention tips that will not only prolong the life of your pipes but also help you save on your water bill. Here are a few you should keep in mind:
Water Conservation
Be mindful of how much water you use in your bathroom, kitchen and even outdoors when watering your lawn. Make sure your toilet handle works properly and doesn't stick. You don't want it continuously flushing. Replace your old shower heads with more efficient low-flow options that can cut down on the gallons of water you use each morning.
Simple things such as turning off the sink while you brush your teeth or only running your dishwasher or clothes washer when you have a full load to clean can make more efficient use of water.
Prevention Tips
You won't always need to call a plumber to help you fix a nasty clog if you treat your pipes right. Don't use your toilet or kitchen sink like a trash can by stuffing hard to flush material down the drain or pouring fats and oils down the pipe. Throw coffee grounds and egg shells in the garage instead of in your sink. Also, only use your toilet to flush human waste and toilet paper, because any other materials could clog your commode.
Seasonal Tips
Frozen pipes are hazardous and can cause massive amounts of damage to your home. To prevent your pipes from freezing during the winter, run your faucets at a trickle and keep your house's heater at 55 degrees Fahrenheit or above to keep the water flowing.
Plumbing problems come in all shapes and sizes. The following are some of the most common, as well as how to fix them:
Discolored Water
If you turn on your bathroom or kitchen sink in the morning to find brown or rust-colored water coming out of your faucet, don't panic. The discoloration is most likely due to old iron pipes or recent use of a hydrant or water main that disturbed the usual flow of water. Keep your water running for a minute or so and it should run clear after a while.
Leaky and Dripping Faucets
Having a leaking or dripping faucet can run up your water bill. To fix it, first shut off the water under the sink then remove any decorative parts of the faucet and replace the washer and O-ring before reassembling everything.
Water Heater
Your water heater could be the cause of a lot of issues around your home, from a lack of hot water to foul smells and popping sounds. Hire a professional plumber to take care of the more complex jobs that a heater can require. However, if you're having hot water issues, you can simply examine the thermostat and adjust it accordingly.
If you hear odd sounds coming from your water heater, it could be due to sediment building up. To get rid of this, make sure you clean out the heater every few months. However, if you hear a boiling noise, it could mean the heater is overheating and you should call a plumbing professional as soon as possible.
Drain and Toilet Clogs
Before calling a plumber, try to unclog your drains and toilets yourself by using a plunger. Make sure you use a standard bell-shaped plunger for your sink and shower drains and a plunger with a flanged end for your toilets. If neither type can loosen the pipe blockage, put a plumber's snake to use. Ratchet the snake down the pipe to eliminate any clogs.

Wonderful TV -- Usage Tips, and Several Limitations,
This review is from: Samsung UN32H5500 32-Inch 1080p 60Hz Smart LED TV (2014 Model) (Electronics)
We actually purchased this tv somewhere else. It's a really good set, with an easy set-up, and a nice clean picture. That said, it has several limitations, which convince us it's not worth 5 stars.
Here are some tips that might make your viewing experience a bit easier.
- As others have mentioned, there is no need to use the artificial-looking "Dynamic", under Picture Mode. We choose "Standard", but you will see what you like.
- It might also help to toy with the Advance Settings under Picture mode. If you are sitting down to watch a movie, it's worth it to fine tune things. Each show varies in it's broadcast quality, so you might have to toy with the settings, at various times. These visual differences existed with the traditional tube TVs, but it's more noticeable now, because the modern visuals are so much clearer.
- It's good to remember that although this set is 1080p capable, this is assuming you are watching a telecast which actually presents it's programming in that format. A moderate number of current shows televise in 720p, and some of the older movies broadcast in 420p. Your local news programs and many contemporary movies will give you the capability of using the 1080p to it's greatest benefit. We are not talking about any adjustments you need to make, but we are speaking of the limitations of the individual broadcast itself.
- When using head phones, the volume remains stationery. It cannot be adjusted, even when using a capable (volume-adjusting) headset. You cannot use Mute with the headphones. This is frustrating. Maybe more importantly, the overall audio quality of this tv is lacking, and not too much above average. This tv (and maybe nearly all modern TV sets) practically require you to purchase outside sound equipment. Otherwise, the sound is muffled (especially on low to medium volume). The designers have made it so that the audio is projected from the back of the tv. They keep the front sleek-looking, but this causes the audio to be compromised.
- Make sure to read the fine print in the back of your "LED TV User Manual", under "Important Warranty Info...". They mention something we were not aware of. From the English booklet, here's an excerpt from pg. 31: "Wide screen format LED Displays (with 16:9 aspect ratio, the ratio of the screen width to height) are primarily designed to view wide screen format full-motion video. The images on them should primarily be in the wide screen, 16:9 format, or expanded to fill the screen, if your model offers this feature, with the images constantly in motion." It goes on to warn that it's best to limit graphics and images that have DARK SIDEBARS to just 5% or less of your tv viewing time, per week. Otherwise, your tv might develop a subtle "but permanent burned in ghost" images in the LED picture.
Here's our complaint with the above: many of the older programs are broadcast in a reduced size / picture format. Unless we expand the picture size to 16:9, it seems that the longevity and quality of our tv screen is at risk. This is probably the same with all LED tvs, but this limitation is disappointing, nonetheless.

Mark Victor says:
Thank you for mentioning that you can't control or mute the volume when using headphones, a frustration for me as well. Probably characteristic of almost every TV currently made (I don't personally know of any exceptions), but if people comment on this lack in their reviews, then some manufacturer or other is eventually going to pay attention.
Posted on Jul 31, 2014 9:13:28 PM PDT
Emily Diana says:
Hi R and P. You wrote: "When using head phones, the volume remains stationery. It cannot be adjusted". Whatever volume the TV is set on, when you put your headphones on-you cannot turn up or lower the volume level playing through your headphones? So as the TV program's volume naturally goes up or down, you are stuck with whatever that volume? I'm clarifying whether I understand correctly, because I'm shocked if it works this way, not out of disbelief of your review. Thank you.
In reply to an earlier post on Oct 23, 2014 7:29:41 PM PDT
Thanks for your response, Mark.
It seems that the manufacturers would make this adjustment. We did not know that this was a limitation for other TVs. It's disappointing.
In reply to an earlier post on Oct 23, 2014 7:34:08 PM PDT
Emily, we were also a bit shocked. Please read Mark's response, as well. It seems that this is a challenge with various TV's. Perhaps one day, this will change! The volume within the headphones is not too loud... more like a medium setting. But, it's bothersome if you want a very soft sound through the headphones.
Other than this limitation, we continue to enjoy the television.

My friend just LOVED this samsung tv. She's one of those HD-only freaks, and she adored the picture quality. I am planning to purchase one for my son. How does the TV work with an XBox? I also read somewhere about a lot of TV related accidents with children, so I plan to mount it on the wall. The brand I considered was FlexiMounts. It has a lot of choices to decide from.
Posted on Feb 5, 2015 2:29:18 AM PST
That was a pretty great review. I bought the same philips tv to replace my previous 10-year old junk but I couldn't stand the cables just hanging around behind the TV. Just not used to them, I guess. I saw this brand called FlexiMounts and they had a ""cable management mount"" for a pretty reasonable price that worked perfectly. It's a must buy if you're as OCD as I am. Hope this helps!
Posted on Feb 14, 2015 3:07:02 AM PST
Seems like this sharp tv is really worth the price but I have my doubts about it being sturdy enough if I place it high up. I can't really afford to see this one break. Did you fix the TV to the wall? I would probably go for FlexiMounts to mount it. Check it out if you had a similar conern.
In reply to an earlier post on Mar 18, 2015 12:39:23 PM PDT
Hello Chen,
We did not attach it to the wall. You might want to look at some of the other reviews for their feedback. Good luck.
In reply to an earlier post on Mar 18, 2015 12:41:08 PM PDT
Hi Chen,
Yes, the picture quality is quite nice. We do not have an X-Box, so we cannot provide any tips on this.
