LED Edge-Backlighting w/ Local Dimming: The Toshiba L7200U LED-LCD TV utilizes LED edge-backlighting with local dimming for dramatically improved black levels and contrast ratios that deliver a better overall picture. Local dimming offers control over different "zones" for more precise and accurate dimming control with deeper images. LED edge-backlighting with local dimming provides superior picture quality, and ultra-thin depth.
CQ (Cinema Quality) Engine: The Toshiba L7200U LED-LCD employs the new Cinema Quality (CQ) Dual Core engine. This 1GHz dual core ARM processor creates superior picture quality with enhanced brightness, sharpness, color saturation and sharpness. In addition, the added power of the CQ Engine ensures a robust smart TV experience with additional connectivity features and increased speed.
DynaLight:DynaLight Backlighting Control automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. It constantly monitors the brightness level of each video frame, even in low light settings. As a result, you see increased detail and greater depth of images.
ClearScan 240Hz: ClearScan 240Hz anti-blur technology reduces blurring caused by high-speed video and improves picture clarity without impacting brightness or adding flicker. The ClearScan 240 Hz anti-blur technology quadruples the frame rate from 60 frames-per-second to 240 frames-per-second, virtually eliminating motion blur that could be caused by fast action video.
Cinema Mode (3:2 Pulldown): When you view a DVD (3:2 pulldown processed) from a DVD player connected via composite, component, or HDMI, smoother motion can be obtained by setting the Cinema Mode to Film.
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
1080p Resolution: The Toshiba L7200U LED-LCD TV has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080. All inputs are displayed at 1080p. The Toshiba L7200UTV provides high definition HDMI & component video inputs, as well as standard definition composite video inputs.
- Four HDMI (ver.1.4) Inputs: The television features four HDMI (ver.1.4) inputs. The HDMI inputs will accept 1080p (24/60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i, video signals. If you want to connect a DVI-compatible device, you will need an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. Since DVI does not carry audio signals, a stereo audio 3.5mm input is provided for the HDMI 4 input (shared with PC input). In addition to the HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable, you will also need a stereo audio 3.5mm cable.
- ColorStream Component Video Input: The ColorStream HD Component video input will accept 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. This component video input consists of a female 3.5mm minijack and includes minijack-to-RCA component video adapter. The television's 3.5mm PC audio input can also be configured as a component audio/video input (adapter available through Toshiba).
- 2 Composite Video Inputs: The television also features
two composite video inputs (480i only) with audio. Each composite video
input consists of a female 3.5mm AV jack and includes a minijack-to-RCA
composite video adapter.
Note: The television composite video 1 input shares its audio signal with the TV's component video input. You can only connect one or the other.
Natural (Passive) 3D: The Toshiba L7200U series LED-LCD TV creates stereoscopic 3D (three-dimensional) images using affordable polarized glasses (just like the movie theater), making it ideal for longer viewing periods and 3D gaming. Toshiba's passive 3D technology gives you wider viewing angles, meaning you get the same immersive 3D experience wherever you sit; there is also no "flicker-effect" and less eye strain. The Toshiba LED-LCD TV can display in 3D via 3D broadcasting or when the TV is connected to a compatible device, such as a 3D-ready Blu-ray player with 3D content. The TV must be connected to your 3D source via HDMI (v.1.4) and you must wear the included passive 3D glasses in order to see these images in 3D (three-dimensional) format. This TV includes 4 pair of polarized ("passive") 3D glasses. To ensure that you can enjoy 3D any time you want, Toshiba has incorporated TriVector 2D-to-3D conversion, which allows you to watch your favorite 2D movies, TV programs, or games in 3D.
- 3D Formats: 3D signals can be sent in one of 3 formats.
- Side-by-Side: Images for the left and right eyes are positioned side by side
- Top & Bottom: images for the left and right eyes are positioned at the top and bottom of the screen
- Frame Packing: two frames of images (one for the left eye, one for the right eye) are positioned at the top and bottom of the screen
- 3D Display Modes: There are four modes for watching 2D
or 3D TV.
- 3D: display 3D images
- 2D: displays 2D images by changing 3D images to 2D
- 2D-to-3D: displays 3D images by changing 2D images to 3D (you can adjust the image depth from 1-5)
- Native: displays a received signal format in its original 2D or 3D format
Note: If you see a double image, your eyes are either too high or too low in relation to the horizontal center of the screen. Adjust your position, so that it is closer to the center to avoid eye fatigue and to enjoy optimum 3D effect.
Picture Size: When viewing a source, you can choose one of the following picture sizes:
- Native: When receiving a 720p, 1080i or 1080p signal program, Native Mode restores the size of the picture by the 3-5% that is generally lost during the normal over-scanning that occurs on traditional sets. It also avoids unnecessary scaling of HD signals that can reduce overall image resolution and picture quality.
- Normal: Image is displayed close to its originally formatted proportion, with black bars along the sides or top and bottom if the signal has an aspect ratio different than the TV.
- Full: Mainly designed for receiving a squeezed 4:3 signal (a 16:9 [480i, 480p] programs squeezed into a 4:3 transmission), the picture is stretched wider to fill the screen, but not taller, none of the picture is hidden.
- 4:3:Provides a 4:3 aspect ratio of a 720p, 1080i or 1080p signal; sidebars fill the empty vertical spaces while not distorting the picture from its original size.
- TheaterWide 1: The picture is non-uniformly enlarged; the center of the picture remains close to its true. proportion, but the left and right edges are stretched wider to fill the screen, used primarily with a 4:3 source.
- TheaterWide 2: Entire picture is uniformly enlarged, used primarily with a widescreen source.
- TheaterWide 3: Picture is non-uniformly enlarged; the picture is stretched wider to fill the width of the screen and stretched slightly taller.
- Dot-by-Dot: "Dot by Dot" is a non-scaling display for PC signals only. Depending on the input signal format, the picture appears with sidebars and/or bars at the top and bottom.
Auto Aspect Ratio:The Auto Aspect Ratio feature will automatically select the picture size when one of the following inputs sources is received - a 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signal from the ANT/Cable input; a 480i signal from the Component Video input, and a 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, or VGA (60 Hz) signal from any of the HDMI inputs. A 4:3 signal is set to Normal, a 16:9 signal is set to Full, a 4:3 letterbox signal is set to TheaterWide 2. If the signal's aspect is not defined, the Picture Size defaults to the last manually chosen setting.
Picture Modes:You can select one of the following picture modes for each input:
- AutoView: By combining an ambient room light sensor and incoming video content monitoring, AutoView automatically sets most of the television's picture parameters for you. AutoView uses an external light sensor to automatically adjust various picture quality settings based on the amount of ambient room lighting and the type of video content you are watching for an improved viewing experience.
- Dynamic: Creates the right amount of "pop," and provides more colors, finer details, less visual noise and brighter, realistic pictures.
- Standard: Standard picture setting.

Already stung by injuries entering Sunday's AFC Championship game, the New England Patriots lost key players as they tried to hold off the Baltimore Ravens and reach the Super Bowl.
Tight end Rob Gronkowski left in the third quarter with a left ankle injury after tangling with Ravens safety Bernard Pollard.
Gronkowski returned in the fourth quarter with his ankle taped, according to media sources.
Earlier in the game, Patriots cornerback Kyle Arrington left the game in Foxborough, Mass., with an eye injury. Arrington's return was questionable, the Pats announced.
The Patriots also lost Pro Bowl tackle Vince Wilfork briefly. Wilfork walked slowly off the field before Joe Flacco threw for the Ravens' only first-half touchdown, but returned for the next defensive series. There was no announcement about his condition.
Gronkowski's injury came as he tried to extend a 23-yard reception. As he struggled for yards, Pollard landed atop him, causing Gronkowski's foot to twist.
Gronkowski was wobbly as he regained his feet, needing help to get off the field. He went directly to the trainer's room.
The winner of the AFC championship game will play in the Super Bowl, scheduled for Feb. 5 in Indianapolis, against the NFC champion. That team will be either the New York Giants or San Francisco 49ers.
Gronkowski set an NFL record for a tight end with 17 touchdown receptions.
Ravens linebacker Dannell Ellerbe injured his right foot on the same play.
Arrington tied for the NFL lead this season with seven interceptions. The Pats defense struggled during the season, finishing 31st in passing defense and 31st overall in yards allowed in the 32-team NFL.

PASADENA - A sheriff's rescue team helped an Alhambra woman who fell 30 feet while hiking Monday in Eaton Canyon.
She suffered head injuries and two possible broken femurs, according to Sheriff's Lt. Brian Fitch. He said a second hiker, also from Alhambra, sustained minor injuries during the hike.
He said both women are expected to make a full recovery.
The Altadena Search and Rescue Team were sent to the Eaton Canyon falls about 5:45 p.m. to look for the two injured hikers.
Fitch said the woman who fell was taken by a Los Angeles County Fire Department helicopter to a hospital. Paramedics treated the other hiker at the scene, he added.

SINCE he first stepped into the limelight a decade ago, Ricky Gervais has become adept at dealing with criticism.
"The first reviews for The Office were awful,'' he says of the mockumentary which made his name in 2001. "They used the phrase 'summer stinker' I seem to remember.'' Although his brand of humour may be of the Marmite variety, his star has since risen to a stratospheric level.
He has a trophy cabinet full of Baftas, is renowned on both sides of the Atlantic and has presented the Golden Globes three times.
It's not surprising, then, that Gervais is expecting a negative reaction to his latest mockumentary, Derek, which has a one-off showing on Channel 4 this month.
Set in an old people's home, it follows the lives of those who live and work there, with the camera guided by Gervais as Derek, a care assistant who outwardly appears to have learning difficulties.
"I would be confused if no one attacked me about this,'' he says. "Every week has been the end of my career for the last 20 years. I mean, I started with a backlash. But what can you do? If you started making it for reviews or awards, or the public, you'd never get anywhere."

DARRYL Ritchings is still intent on a track return next month as he continues to recover from the horror crash which ended his season in April.
The young reserve was sedated in hospital for two weeks after hitting the fence in his first home race for Swindon against Coventry on April 3, missing the air bag, before astounding doctors with the speed of his recovery after coming round.
Ritchings is still suffering with bouts of tiredness and is hampered by the broken ankle he also suffered in the crash with Bees reserve Jason Garrity, but was quick to signal his intent to resume riding after returning to his family home in Purton at the end of April.
The youngster is hopeful of getting some laps under his belt at Blunsdon after a Robins meeting in September and is then keen to resume his racing career when the 2015 season comes around next March.
"Everything's fine really, although I do have a bit of a limp and my ankles swollen, but I just get so tired sometimes," he said.
"My aim is still to have a few laps at the end of a meeting in September, probably at Swindon, although I might go to another track first on my own at a wider track.
"I've been going to all the meetings at Swindon and it's been good to watch, but I would much rather be out there riding.
"I feel hungry to get back and hopefully I can soon."
Ritchings is also planning to return to the saddle for a gruelling cycle ride to and from Oxford next month, to raise money for the unit which treated him while he was in the John Radcliffe hospital, with a date now set for September 28.

Dental Anesthesia
Can Novocaine/Lidocain/Whatever Cause Vertigo
I had two crowns a week ago and it took eight injections in my jaw to numb everything. One injection caused some pain in my right ear. Now about a week later I am being treated for a severe case of vertigo. Just wondering if there could be a connection.
Ear pain can occur with dental local anesthetic injection, usually for the lower teeth. Adverse effects of local anesthesia almost always occurs immediately following injection or after the anesthetic wears off. If there was a one week interval between vertigo and anesthetic injection, it is extremely unlikely to be related. There are also many and varied causes of vertigo, and a definitive diagnosis would help.
I hope this is of value. Good luck.

By Steve Aschburner, NBA.com
Not sure if this was posted before or not
It happens time and again in every walk of life and initially it can seem a little unfair: The person already doing the most, already giving plenty, gets asked to do and give more.
Doesn't seem right, does it? How fair is it, in a basketball context, to expect a team's best player to boost his or her current level of performance when others on the roster can get by making smaller contributions in more narrowly defined roles?
Or to get specific, how much more can -- and should -- the Indiana Pacers ask of one-time NBA All-Star forward Danny Granger?
Apparently, a good deal more.
Granger, the Pacers' best player for about the past four seasons, was solid again in 2009-10. He averaged 24.1 points, becoming the first Indiana player to score that much in consecutive seasons since Billy Knight. He rained in 158 three-pointers, the first Pacer since Reggie Miller to do that. That he could do those things while being targeted by most opposing game plans -- it's not like Indiana had all sorts of Plan Bs and Plan Cs -- was especially laudable.
Yet Granger missed 20 games to injury. His shooting accuracy dropped. He did not make it to Dallas for All-Star Weekend, and there were no signs of improvement as a defender or a rebounder.
So do the Pacers expect more from Granger in 2009-10? You betcha. Untapped potential and $50 million due over the next four seasons can raise the bar even for a team's best player. Maybe especially for the best player. It's the old coach-teacher-boss thing: If Granger weren't capable of giving more, the Pacers wouldn't be asking.
Pacers coach Jim O'Brien may have gotten an assist in nudging a little more out of his best player thanks to Granger's summer experience with the U.S. national team that won the FIBA World Championships.
Obviously playing time wasn't going to be divvied up equally among the elite NBA players who participated, but Granger wound up mostly watching for legit reasons. His averages of 9.7 minutes and 4.1 points were the third and second fewest on the squad, respectively. In two of the nine games, Granger did not play at all.
It became clear to those participating and watching that USA coach Mike Krzyzewski and his staff were emphasizing defense, and rewarding with playing time those who provided it. Heckuva thing, being chosen to represent one's country on a global stage and then getting humbled in the process. But it seemed to take.
"I can be a good defensive player," Granger told the Indianapolis Star after the tournament. "Am I a better defensive player than Andre [Iguodala, the Philadelphia forward who saw more action]? I don't know. We won the gold and that's all that mattered. I'd go back again if I was asked because it was a wonderful experience."
O'Brien thinks Granger can benefit from another lesson with Team USA. As they spin their wheels, coming off the franchise's first 50-loss season in more than 20 years and waiting for some salary-cap relief to kick in next summer, the Pacers need all the leadership they can get. Rather than relaxing even a little and tilting toward poor work habits, the club and its coach need Granger setting the highest example for Indiana's younger players.
"Danny mentioned Chauncey Billups by name as being a tremendous leader on and off the court," O'Brien said in a recent telephone interview. "I would agree with him -- I've known Chauncey for years, we drafted him in Boston. For Danny to see the impact of a Chauncey Billups on a team should be a great lesson on him, from the standpoint of how he's doing as our leader."
Said Granger at the start of Pacers camp: "Playing with guys like Chauncey Billups, who's done so much in the NBA, you're just watching him and some of the things he does and the way he handles himself, the way he talks to other players. Everybody really had to take something from that."
Now it might seem a stretch to find any more lessons in Granger's summer-break travels, but O'Brien -- who, in newly acquired point guard Darren Collison and hard-working third-year center Roy Hibbert, has two more solid pieces alongside Granger -- found some anyway. He suggested that Team USA striving to dominate the planet bore a real resemblance to his crew searching for respectability near the bottom of the Central Division.
"Danny played with a group that very few people gave a chance to win the gold," O'Brien explained. "People were saying they didn't have enough experience, they didn't have enough firepower up front, they didn't have that imposing figure in the lane. What he did was what we're going to have to do: Danny was part of a group that didn't buy what other people were saying. Our strengths are perimeter-oriented ourselves, other than Roy Hibbert. And nobody's picking us to do anything."
So let's see if we've got this straight: Granger needs to keep impressing Krzyzewski, O'Brien and others with his defense, rebounding and all-around game. If he does, the Pacers can expect to hear the sounds of a victory tune playing each night.
Over the past three seasons, teams have shot better than 45 percent vs. Indiana. When the Pacers have forced misses, they give up rebounds. Or just foul in first place.
Troy Murphy was a perfect fit for Jim O'Brien's offense, a big who could step all the way back to 3-point range. That and his double-doubleness will be tough to replace.
Chris Paul's backup, in 37 games, looked ready for prime time. Now O'Brien has to let him play without "system" training wheels.

Author Bio▼▲
Michael Phillips is one of the renowned Christian novelists of our time. He has penned sixty fiction titles of great variety—historical and contemporary; romance, mystery, and thriller. The breadth of Phillips's audience is a testimony that his writing is universal in its appeal, with thought-provoking spiritual themes known as his "spiritual tunes." Phillips's name is often linked with Scotsman George MacDonald, the man whose books helped lead C.S. Lewis to Christianity. Along with his own writing, Phillips's passion is to make the links between MacDonald and Lewis more widely known. Phillips and his wife, Judy, divide their time between homes in California and Scotland.

From the Back Cover: A quest for the truth leads home
Having accepted his uncle's dying request to restore the missing heir to the Westbrook estate, young Scotsman Percy begins an unforgettable journey. But as his search leads him to Ireland, circumstances in Wales threaten the future.
Percy's engagement to beautiful Florilyn Westbrooke hangs in the balance when Florilyn fears they are moving too quickly. Childhood friend Gwyneth Barrie disappears unexpectedly and Percy begins to feel his heart pulled toward the mystifying lass. Meanwhile, cousin Courtenay Westbrooke devises a scheme destined to rip the family and estate apart once he inherits his late father's title.
As Percy's quest continues down many circuitous paths, the key to the mystery seems forever to elude him_ unless he can discover the greatest treasure that was within his sight all along. Will he find the true reward before it fades into the misty Celtic past?
The quest is on. Percy sets out to fulfill his dying uncle's last request and that involves a journey that takes him through Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. While he is on his quest there is treachery at home as Courtney moves to take the title and destroy the estate. Then the romance between Percy and Florilyn seems to be dissolving while it may be beginning with Gwyneth, however she has mysteriously disappeared. Deceit, treachery, mystery and romance fill the pages of "The Treasure of the Celtic Triangle". Mr. Phillips has given us quite a story and it is filled with the wonder of countries that I have not been to in a time before industry took over. I liked this book and really did not want it to come to an end.

What is a multi room system?
While a standard heat pump system consists of an indoor and outdoor unit, a multi room system allows you to connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit. The World Health Organisation recommends a minimum indoor temperature of 18-20°C for living areas and 16°C overnight for bedrooms. With a multi room heat pump system you have the freedom to choose the ideal unit for each area to keep you comfortable, without cluttering the exterior of your home. Plus, you get the benefit of the superior efficiency and energy savings of Mitsubishi Electric heat pump technology.
Why choose a multi room system?
We know that every home is as individual as its owner. Mitsubishi Electric multi room heat pump systems allow you to choose the perfect model for each room without the need to install multiple outdoor units.
Multiple Rooms with Individual Control From a Single System
With a multi-room system, you can enjoy your ideal level of comfort in the most important rooms in your home. each room (zone) operates independently. People in difference rooms – the kitchen, master bedroom or living room – can enjoy temperature settings that make each of them most comfortable.
If you're looking for a complete comfort solution for several different rooms, the MXZ multi-room system is the right choice. The system is flexible enough to conform to your particular cooling and heating needs, with over 40 different indoor unit combinations, up to four indoor units connected to one outdoor unit. And now, with a SEZ horizontal ducted unit, you can enjoy an even greater range of zoning options provided by an MXZ system.
An MXZ multi-room system is an excellent choice for supplementing capacity to your current system or to condition newly finished spaces or new additions. you can also benefit from lower energy costs year-round while staying comfortable, thanks to Mitsubishi's energy-efficient technologies.
Component Overview
MXZ 8B48NA Multi Zone Ductless Outdoor Heat Pump 48,000 BTU (4 Ton)
Mitsubishi MXZ 8B48NA Multi Zone 4 Ton Heating and Cooling Ductless System 48,000 BTU Outdoor Unit
Multiple rooms with individual control from a single system
Enjoy ideal levels of comfort in the rooms you use most with our multi–room system. Each room (zone) operates independently. People in different rooms – the kitchen, master bedroom, or living room – can enjoy temperature settings that make each of them most comfortable.
If you're looking for a complete comfort solution for several different rooms, the MXZ multi-room system is the right choice. The system is flexible enough to conform to a particular cooling and heating need and offers numerous different indoor unit combinations. In addition up to eight indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit. Now with a SEZ horizontal ducted unit and a MFZ floorstanding unit homeowners can enjoy an even greater range of zoning options provided by an MXZ system.
An MXZ multi-room system is an excellent choice for supplementing capacity to a current system, conditioning newly furnished spaces, or new additions and replacing a system within a home. Homeowners can also benefit from lower energy costs year-round while staying comfortable thanks to Mitsubishi Electric's energy-efficient technologies that are a part of every system that we make.
To add to the level of energy efficiency, the MXZ-2B20NA and MXZ-3B24NA systems qualify for both ENERGY STAR® and the federal tax credit (See details on page 21 for applicable indoor unit combinations).
Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA: The ultimate zoning solution
Introducing the Mitsubishi Electric MXZ-8B48NA eight-zone unit. As a member of the expanding MXZ-B Series of multi-zone systems, the MXZ-8B outdoor unit incorporates branch boxes to connect up to eight indoor units.
The INVERTER-driven compressor at the heart of the MXZ 8B outdoor unit provides variable capacity control for the compressor, allowing the system to adjust to the specific demands of the interior space as needed, not the hard start and stop of a traditional system that is installed in most U.S. homes.
Unlike the other models of MXZ-B Series outdoor units, the MXZ-8B48NA has only one port on the outdoor unit for two insulated refrigerant lines, which run into the home or business to connect to a branch box or boxes. From there, branch box(es), gas, and liquid refrigerant piping run to each of the indoor units. The LEV in the branch box(es) is used to control the refrigerant flow as the load of each zone changes.
Through the branch box(es) (the PAC-AKA31BC three-port and/or the PAC-AKA51BC five-port), the system can connect from as few as two indoor units up to eight indoor units, depending on application requirements.
The flexibility of the system doesn't stop there. The MXZ-8B48NA has rated capacities of 48,000 Btu/h for cooling and 54,000 Btu/h for heating. System operation, however, can range from a minimum 12,000 Btu/h to a maximum 54,000 Btu/h in cooling and a maximum of 60,000 Btu/h in heating. This type of performance supports a large variety of applications.
The MXZ-8B48NA allows for further flexibility because it supports a connected indoor unit capacity from 22% to 130% or 12,000 Btu/h to a maximum 70,200 Btu/h, depending on diversity.
Diamond Comfort Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA
Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA systems provide personalized comfort control and energy efficiency in up to as many as eight rooms with indoor unit air handlers with only a single outdoor unit.
The Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA system features include the following features:
- individual zone control
- mix and match flexibility of indoor unit styles and combinations
- a wide range of indoor unit capacities that match the room size and requirements
- flexible design options to tackle the most challenging multi-room installations
- efficient systems, including three systems that meet ENERGY STAR® and federal tax credit requirements
- simple, quick, and cost–effective installation keeps install costs down on new construction and disruption to a minimum on renovations and refits
Efficiency and performance ratings are dependent upon the number, style, and capacity of the indoor units installed with each Multi-Zone System.
Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA Features and Benefits:
- Anti-allergy enzyme filter which uses artificial blue enzyme catalyst on the filter filaments to capture harmful microbes
- Hybrid Catechin pre-filter fibers infused with a bioflavinoid found in green tea that has antiviral and antioxidant properties
- A-Control for unit wiring allows communication and power between outdoor and indoor units on three wires
- Pulse Amplitude modulation (PAM) Control aligns electrical input wave to improve electrical power factor up to 98%
- Low-ambient Cooling Operation allows for efficient operation with outdoor temperatures as low as 14°F (for the inverter models)
- Powerful Mode provides 15 minutes of extra high-power cooling or heating
- Wide Airflow (MSY/Z-A24) using two vane motors provides for seven horizontal airflow directions
- Econo-Cool mode, 1? F step temperature setting, self-diagnostic function, swing mode (up and down), auto restart, dry mode operation
- 6 year warranty on compressor and 1 year warranty on parts
- NEW R410A Refrigerant
Innovative Compressor Technology
INVERTER-driven compressor systems in the outdoor unit detect subtle changes in temperature and, like a car's cruise control, automatically adjust compressor speed – unlike conventional units, which start and stop repetitively. Special components within the compressor increase the magnetic flux and reduce its weight, allowing the compressor to generate higher energy efficiencies with better performance than ever before – at low levels of sound during start-up and running
Efficient. Quiet. Secure.
That's right. Reliable Mitsubishi MS-A09WA Mr. Slim units deliver all of these. First its small design, smart functionality, and lack of ductwork plus INVERTER (Models MS-A090WA nad MS-A12WA are the only non-inverter type Mitsubishi systems ) technology make it energy-efficient. Second, the unit's fan is designed to deliver air quietly and continuously with only a gentle whoosh for constant circulation and filtration. (That's why Mr. Slim systems were the first choice for thousands of churches, schools, and libraries across the U.S. Shhh!) Third, because each systems installs with only a three-inch opening for connecting the indoor and outdoor units, you don't have to worry about thieves gaining access through an easy-to-remove window unit. With Mr. Slim systems you can sleep in quiet comfort with a sense of security.
The Solution is Clear
- Cool only the areas you want and not the areas where you are not
- Individual zoning at the push of a button, putting you in total comfort control
- Less then 5% cooling loss occurs in insulated refrigerant lines versus up to 40% through ducts
- Requiring just a 3 to 4" diameter hole in the outside wall means less mess, better home aesthetics, and improved security, unlike a window unit
- Mr. Slim models mount high on the wall so they don't disturb your view
- Mitsubishi units add value to your home and are more efficient than old window units, saving you money
Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA's Quiet Operation
Do you hear that? No? You barely hear our systems because Mitsubishi indoor units operate with barely a whisper.
For example:
- Police siren 118 decibels
- Circular saw 107 decibels
- Vacuum cleaner 74 decibels
- Library reading room 33 decibels
- Whisper-tone voice 35 decibels
- Our Indoor Units 19 - 34 decibels (at low speed)
Did you hear that? We hope you did.
System Control in the Palm of Your Hand
Mitsubishi Electric offers a comprehensive remote controller that controls temperature, fan speed and more. Choose from four modes: COOL, HEAT, AUTO and DRY. The controller also has a 12-hour ON/OFF timer for one-button control of your personal comfort.
Warm Air, No Drafts
Our hot-start heat pump technology provides warmth from the beginning. The fan increases in speed as the coil is warmed, reducing drafts so when you want warm air, you'll get it.
The Mitsubishi MXZ-8B48NA is Easy to Maintain
With easily accessible filters, little or no ductwork to clean, and uncomplicated wiring connection points between the indoor and outdoor units, Mitsubishi systems rely on minimal maintenance, providing another level of comfort.

Detailed Description:
Microparticles (MP) are intact vesicles derived from cell membranes which arise mainly through cell membrane activation processes and from apoptosis. MP originating from platelets, endothelial cells and monocytes have been most extensively studied, though similar particles can arise from red cells and granulocytes. The ability to form microparticles is an essential part of physiological coagulation.However, MP may play an important procoagulant role in several diseases including sickle cell disease, and paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH).
Several studies reported the presence of MP in TI and their potential role in the hypercoagulable state. The investigators propose in this study to investigate the presence and origin of MP in TM patients.

Hi All,
I have a question about how do i ensure that I get paid for my work which i do for people in other countiries ?
1)As far as I know, In this case, contracts/legal stuff do not work...
2)I probably wouldn't like to ask the client for an advance because it may put off the client... I would like to get paid for milestones or in case of trivial projects, when the project gets completed.
3)And probably I would like to avoid asking the client to pay through any freelancing sites which do provide an escrow system ( to keep both the buyer and the seller safe) because I probably do not want to create more competitors for myself and lose potentially paying clients.
Is there a solution to this ?
You should definitely ask for an advance, but that should not be a big amount when compared to whole budget. After that you should create milestones and after completing a single task for whole project make sure to get payment first and then move to the next task. This way there will be less chances of losing money and even if the client won't pay full, you still will be having satisfaction for getting payment for most of the work.
yea, thanks ... i've been thinking about the same but was just wondering if there was anything similar to escrow system of freelancing sites without the possible competitors/other freelancers
Getting an advance/deposit is a good idea IF you have clients who you think will be non-payers. But, it's sort of a band-aid approach. This seems simplistic, but the way to ensure that you always get paid is to find great clients and do great work. Great clients will pay for great work 99% of the time.
While you are working your way up the client ladder, try to take a deposit if you need to be sure to make it as small as possible, just to minimize your risk.
You need to be confident in your abilities, and asking for money in advance shows you have this confidence to the client!Of course you don't have to ask for all the money in advance. Most commonly, you ask them to purchase a number of hours of your time, and then you ask for more as needed. Keep in mind the client can also take advantage of you by asking for too much of your time as compared with the money paid.
In my world it's the reverse.
When you tell a client that you'll just invoice them Net 30 each month, it really demonstrates confidence in the whole thing. Asking for a deposit just sends the message that you don't trust the client OR that you are cash poor and don't want to float the invoice.
Most of the projects i work on are one off so mostly there isn't a provision to invoice the client monthly...
Great suggestions all... while we are at it what do you think is the best method for payment transactions - payapl or what else ? I heard that paypal transactions could be reversed... I recently had a client who sent me some money through paypal using someone elses name... Is there a possibility that transaction coule be reversed... After the initial work that was paid for, I have done considerable work that's still unpaid...
No one here with any experience with paypal and it's alternatives...
It's the weekend, when there are always fewer folk around. Please be patient and don't bump your threads.[/ot]
It's the weekend, when there are always fewer folk around. Please be patient and don't bump your threads.[/ot]
I agree mostly with what the others are saying.
For one-off projects with clients in foreign countries, get a deposit first - I tend to go with around 10% of the agreed fee.Make sure that you set out clearly in the contract that you expect payment as you go through for each milestone.And then leave maybe 30% of bill left to be paid upon completion (NET 30 or so).
This way you have minimised your risk, so at worst you will just not be paid for the final piece of work.If you work with the client again in the future, then as you've already built up trust you can amend how much you leave as a final fee to reflect that trust.
It is obviously preferable to only have clients that you trust from the outset, but that is often not possible and even harder working internationally.
regarding Paypal - it's a pretty standard way for people to pay internationally, but the refunds and other problems some have with the company means I wouldn't always rely on it. Direct bank transfers are easy and quick too.
Thanks masm50...
I'm really interested in hearing about any alternatives to paypal... specially where people could just use their credit cards / debit cards / online banking without needing to leave ....
Bank transfers, I suppose you mean international wire transfers are good but they are sometimes expensive in some counties... and probably you need to walk in to a bank (not sure if these could be perrformed online from home)
specially in my case as i take up small projects such as bug fixes etc... iif there were some fixes for which i was going to charge $100, $30 or $35 is quite a lot on top of that money for a transfer fee...
How about moneybookers, alertpay etc.? How different are these from paypal ? Can transactions through these be reversed as well.... Hope someone here has some kind of experience with these services...
Well I think on Moneybookers transactions can definitely be reversed If you want to send it back to the sender. Also I would say MoneyBookers is cheaper than Paypal.
Transactions reversed by the money receiver or the sender ? I think you meant the buyer could reverse the transaction . is it ?
Some people are put off by first time met freelancers, so i believe taking a leap of faith is your best bet. Of course you should expect to get screwed sometimes, and hope you will not.
(1) Contracts can work, and having a well drafted agreement with your clients is important. However, you are right that contracts and legal action are not effective in many cases. A contract will not protect you if the amount you are owed is too small to justify the time and cost involved in pursuing legal action. A contract will not protect you if you cannot get jurisdiction over the other party. A contract will not protect you if the other party simply has no money to pay for the services you delivered. However, I still recommend that you have a good contract for those instances in which it makes a difference.
(2) I think in many cases an advance is appropriate. Of course, if you are as unknown to the client as the client is to you, then there is a question of who should trust who. You would be asking the client to trust you with his money before you have shown that you can and will deliver the services you are promising. An alternative, which can be used either with or without an advance, is what is known as progress billing, which is what arthurhcates described.
(3) I agree that going through a freelance site simply to take advantage of the escrow function does not seem like a good solution. Although it does solve the mutual trust issue I mentioned above, I don't believe that introducing a third-party to your client relationship is generally a good idea.
I think that Sagewing is correct when he says "the way to ensure that you always get paid is to find a great clients and do great work." However, the situation is almost never that black and white.
I am in a different profession, but face the same issue. I have many clients who have been clients for more than 20 years. I would never dream of asking one of them for a deposit on a new matter. But I am also always getting new clients. Some of the new clients are well-established businesses with known reputations. I also would not ask those businesses for a deposit.
In many cases, however, new clients are startups or small businesses that are completely unknown to me. From experience, I know that many of them have big dreams but very small pocketbooks. While they have every intention of paying the bill, it is based on their expectation (often unreasonable) that revenues will take off immediately or that their business will bring in money from investors to pay the bills. The only way I have found to deal with the problem is to ask for an upfront payment.
A few weeks ago, I met with a potential client who came as a personal referral from someone who once worked for me. After meeting and discussing his needs, including the potential cost, I asked for a deposit of $500, representing only a very small portion of the expected cost of the project. His response was that he felt that was reasonable and wanted to proceed but said it would take him several days to get the $500 together.
That was a big red flag for me. I would be potentially providing thousands of dollars in services to someone who couldn't even write me a check for $500. I politely, but firmly, revisited our discussion of the cost of the project, emphasizing that I would have to stop work if our fees were unpaid and that there was no value at all in a half finished project. Thankfully, he did not decide to pursue the project, or at least not with me.
There were no outward signs that this client who was referred to me would be a problem payer. Only my request for a deposit saved me from a disastrous engagement.
Thank you for a great post Green Moon. It's mostly common sense stuff until the fear about losing potential business(which is actually a better thing than not getting paid for your efforts)
And webcosmos, yes I agree but it's better to at least do every thing possible to avoid that kind of a situation.
Lastly, I'm still waiting to hear about some alternatives to paypal , specially from people who get paid for doing remote work...
I'm wondering if i should create a new thread for this...
The receiver can reverse the transaction.
Unfortunately you cant be sure of that, and asking for an advance shows you dont trust them or you`re too poor, so do your best and hope everything will be fine.
t be sure of that, and asking for an advance shows you don
Yes these all things are necessary to do the work with that clients who are outer of our country...

Last week's announcement that Netflix (NFLX) was ponying up $3 billion over three years for access to Disney (DIS) content for streaming starting in 2016 surprised many.
I think it was smart.
In three years, we don't exactly know what the streaming landscape will look like, but we do know that people will want to watch Disney movies.
Yes, this is a big outlay of cash. But it is over three years and it starts in three years. Netflix will have to pay up, but not in one slug. It has time to prepare for it.
The stock immediately jumped on the news because people had worried Netflix was going to get boxed out on important content in the future. Without good content, investors know that you are not an attractive service for users.
When the stock of a company goes up, it's easier (and cheaper) to raise debt or equity to finance future projects. You can never run a company operationally to juice the stock price, but neither can you ignore a stock's price in the running of your business. The fact that Netflix has made a commitment to great content increases its viability and that gives lenders more confidence to give it money.
Who will be the big streamers of the next five years? Apple (AAPL) certainly has an existing relationship with many customers and content providers. It has the delivery mechanisms. It has the scale. It will be a player. Although Amazon.com (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) and Google (GOOG) seem to have ambitions in this space, they haven't yet translated that into a lot of users or great content relationships. They are far behind Netflix. Hulu certainly isn't at the same scale. Netflix's big competitors will be the pay channels and not the big tech companies. The big tech companies might become natural buyers for Netflix.
Did it raise the prices for all streaming content that will make their lives more difficult in the future? It already has a lot of adult content locked up. Kids' content is important. Most parents will choose to either subscribe to Netflix or Apple TV in the future. Why are they going to opt for Netflix if their kids hate it because there are no movies that they like? Netflix needed this. Let's see how Starz does after it loses Disney content. I imagine that will prompt a lot of parents to cancel that extra subscription.
Netflix still has all the problems to deal with. Streaming content costs a lot of money from a content acquisition and streaming infrastructure perspective. Netflix is trying to expand everywhere internationally all at once and hasn't been making much money while doing it. It seems woefully small to seriously compete with the other big players with deeper pockets. But is continues to keep and grow a big chunk of customers. It's not easy to get that many customers to subscribe to your service. Ask anyone.


text: INSIGHTS When Customer Service Becomes a Disservice By Andrew Karp Monday, May 20, 2013 12:00 AM The one thing Republicans and Democrats seem to agree on these days is that our health care system needs fixing. Recently, a small but telling incident helped me appreciate the magnitude of the problem when I set out to accomplish a simple task: locating an OD with a decent eyewear selection covered by my vision insurance plan. First, I called the 800-number on my insurance card and listened to the options. None offered the info I needed, so I opted to speak to a representative who asked my name and verified my identity. Then the fun began. After requesting a list of eye doctors near my home, the rep attempted to match me with practitioners in nearby zip codes. He didn't know the local area, so the first three he selected were in another county, which would have involved a 30-mile trip. Finally, he found one near my home. Bingo! Unfortunately, when I called the practice, I was greeted by a recording that told me that the optometrist had died and his practice had been acquired by an ophthalmologist. I was transferred to a receptionist. I explained that I was covered by a vision insurance plan and would like to come in and shop for some glasses. But the receptionist explained that the doctor doesn't take insurance, and doesn't have a dispensary. Would I like to make an appointment for an eye exam? No, I only wanted to shop for glasses. No doubt some insurance companies have their act together. But in my dealings with medical, dental and vision care insurance companies, I have found that most are more adept at providing customer disservice rather than customer service, often doling out incorrect information. I imagine my experience is not atypical. The health care crisis is huge but if we can't fix easy problems like this, we're really in trouble. ■ email@example.com

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Chris Davis homered for the third straight day and drove in four runs Thursday to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Davis went 7 of 11 with three homers, three doubles and a major league-leading 11 RBIs in helping the Orioles win two of three games in the season-opening series. He drove in four for the second day in a row, hitting a two-run homer in the second inning and a two-run double that broke a 2-2 tie against Roberto Hernandez (0-1) in the sixth.
Adam Jones had three more hits, giving him seven in a series that saw the three-four-five spots in Baltimore's lineup go 17 for 37 with four homers, six doubles, 13 runs scored and 15 RBIs.
Miguel Gonzalez (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits over 6 1/3 innings.

New data from the Hildebrandt Institute, a division of Thomson Reuters that provides law firm research and programming, shows that law firms are seeing an uptick in demand for labor and employment work.
According to Hildebrandt's Peer Monitor Index, which the company released on Friday, labor and employment work increased in demand by 4.2 percent during the second quarter of 2012. Meanwhile, there was a 0.2 percent decrease in overall demand for legal services.
Hildebrandt determines the index, which measures law firm profitability, by using a number of variables such as billing rates, expenses, productivity and demand.
The data shows that the demand for litigation work was flat in the second quarter, the demand for corporate work decreased by 2.1 percent, and the demand for real estate and bankruptcy work fell by 3 percent.
The index also found that firms in Los Angeles saw a 5 percent increase in demand legal work and that Silicon Valley firms saw a 2 percent increase in demand for legal work. Elsewhere, New York firms and Chicago firms saw a 1 percent decrease in demand for legal work, and firms in Washington, D.C., saw a 2 percent drop in demand for legal work.
Mark Medice, program director of Peer Monitor, told Thomson Reuters that he predicts 2012 will remain a challenging year for law firms. "Law firms have seen expenses growing but top line revenue remained fairly flat."

It's hard to imagine pop music history without songs like "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" and "Reelin' In The Years," and of course, Steely Dan couldn't exist without singer and keyboardist Donald Fagen. Outside the band, his solo records have been few and far between but worth the wait, and this year he released a new one called Sunken Condos. Hear about the new album's songs and characters, and the influence of Levon Helm, Isaac Hayes and more, in my recent conversation with Donald.

Scripps Ranch senior Long Lieu knew he would have to be at the top of his game to beat No. 1 seed Tien Nguyen of Hoover for the San Diego Section boys singles badminton title.
Playing in Nguyen's home gym in front of a pro-Cardinals crowd, the left-handed Lieu, seeded second in the tournament, outlasted Nguyen in an emotional finals match 13-15, 15-6, 15-5.
"That was the best game I've ever played," said Lieu, who lost twice earlier this season to Nguyen. "It feels really good. I've been training hard and I was determined to beat him."
Said Scripps Ranch coach Tom Crane: "He's come a long way in four years."
Just one hour earlier, Lieu had faced Nguyen — and lost — in the mixed doubles championship.
In that match, No. 5 seed Nguyen and partner Dung Ngo upset No. 3 Lieu and Karen Tran 15-8, 12-15, 15-10.
"I wanted to win it for Karen," Lieu said, shrugging his shoulders. "She's a senior, too."
Ngo credited Nguyen for leading them to the mixed doubles win.
"Tien and coach Vu (Nguyen) gave me a lot of advice after the second game," Ngo said. "They calmed me down and reminded me that there was no need to be perfect."
After the tournament was over, it was business as usual as Tien Nguyen led his Hoover teammates in folding and stacking the chairs used by spectators.
"Long played really well," Nguyen said. "This was kind of a bad day for me. But we won the mixed doubles, so I guess I got one and he got one."
The girls singles champion was Crawford senior Thao Nguyen, who topped Molly Taylor, a sophomore from San Diego, 11-0, 11-4.
Thao Nguyen earlier teamed with Thuyen Nguyen for a 9-15, 15-12, 15-8 win over Hoover's Vivian Nguyen and Gina Niph for the girls doubles title.
"This was a great accomplishment for me," said Thao Nguyen. "It was determination that was the key because you need to want to win it."
The boys doubles title went to Tung Ngo and Tuan Long of Hoover, who beat Billy Sengpaseuth and Steve Lu of Patrick Henry 15-5, 15-5.
