Stormy weather in many parts of the country in February dampened restaurant traffic for the third consecutive month, according to a monthly restaurant performance report by the Washington, D.C.-based National Restaurant Association.
The restaurant performance index — a monthly composite that tracks the health of and outlook for the U.S. restaurant industry — stood at 100.5, down two-tenths of a point from January, according to a news release.
Nevertheless, the fact that the overall index has remained above 100 for 12 straight months signifies expansion in key industry indicators.
"Restaurant operators continued to report net positive same-store sales results in February, despite customer traffic levels that were challenged by the weather," Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the research and knowledge group, said in the release. "Looking forward, operators are generally optimistic about sales gains in the months ahead, although they aren't as bullish about the overall economy."
The index examines the current situation and expectations.
The Current Situation Index, which measures current trends in same-store sales, traffic, labor and capital expenditures, stood at 99.3 in February — down two-tenths of a point from January.
Although restaurant operators reported net positive same-store sales in February, continued softness in customer traffic and labor indicators outweighed the performance, resulting in the reading of less than 100.
The Expectations Index, which measures restaurant operators' six-month outlook for same-store sales, employees, capital expenditures and business conditions, stood at 101.7 in February — down slightly from January's level of 101.8.
Despite the modest decline, February represented the 16th consecutive month in which the index was above 100, which indicates that restaurant operators remain optimistic about business conditions in the coming months, according to the release.

January 2013 heralds the start of the 130th Ohio General Assembly and my second term as State Representative. For those of you in Hudson, Stow, Munroe Falls, Silver Lake and the northern part of Cuyahoga Falls, it has been a privilege and honor to serve as your State Representative for the past two years and I am delighted to be continuing my service in that capacity.
For those of you in Twinsburg, Macedonia, Northfield, Northfield Center and Reminderville, I look forward to us getting to know each other, as we work together as part of the new 37th House District over the next two years.
I believe it is important, as your representative, to keep the lines of communication open at all times, and I will use all means available to me to do so. This includes hosting regular office hours across the district, meeting with individuals and organizations as needed, sending out regular e-mail newsletters and using these columns.
Covered in a beautiful white blanket of snow, the Statehouse in all its splendor and rich history is like a sleeping giant, ready on Jan. 7 to welcome back the senators and representatives of the 130th General Assembly. Some members are new and will climb a very steep learning curve the first few months; other members are returning and are already planning legislation that they believe will make Ohio stronger.
As a returning member, I fall into that second category, and legislation that I introduce and support will be consistent with my core beliefs including: free markets, limited government, sanctity of human life, and individual freedom.
I firmly believe that as legislators, we should always put policy ahead of politics and do what is best for Ohio. While all legislators want what is best for Ohio, we do not always agree on what that is or how to get there.
For example, we all desire that every able-bodied Ohioan would have a good-paying job, but we might disagree on implementation. I believe that we should make Ohio inviting to businesses through lower tax rates, common sense regulatory reform, etc., and then get government out of the way and let the free markets work.
I invite you to contact my office anytime with comments, questions or concerns that you may have. I can be reached by phone at 614-466-1177 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
Throughout this General Assembly, I hope to be writing these columns regularly to provide insight into what it is like in Columbus -- a behind the scenes look at what is happening in our state's capitol.
While the seasons may change and people come and go in Columbus, one thing remains constant: our state motto. Emblazoned in the granite in front of our state capitol building are the eternal words "With God all things are possible."
It is with this faith that I look toward a bright future for our beloved Buckeye State.

Controversial Torrington healthy food policy approved by Board of Education
Published 12:00 am, Thursday, April 25, 2013
TORRINGTON >> A controversial Healthy Food Certification program which some PTO members say could compromise their ability to raise money, but brings an additional revenue to the district, is now board policy in Torrington.
"It bothers me that in this society [we] teach moderation by depriving the child of the choice, but we need money and we get $41,000," said board of education member Christopher Rovero, about the program.
The certification prohibits foods not approved by the Connecticut State Department of Education from being served in vending machines and school stores, and provides districts with an additional 10 cent reimbursement on free and reduced lunches sold.
Cafeterias already adhere to federal healthy food guidelines under the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, so Healthy Food Certification applies to vending machines, school sponsored events and fundraisers.
For example, only foods approved by the HFC guidelines can be sold in campus vending machines. Fundraisers cannot sell sweets, for example at a bake sale, directly to students. Parents must pick up the items.
In order to sell items such as typical hotdogs and hamburgers at football games, boards of education must pass HFC exemptions.
Twenty separate and technical lists detail allowable foods. Brand-specific lists cover everything from water and yogurt to soups and animal crackers, and include caloric, sugar, fat and sodium intake of acceptable foods. Each list is between eight and 39 pages long.
Torrington High School PTO president Kathy Peterson said the new regulations will hinder PTOs ability to raise money.
"The downtown parents without cars will no longer buy from the PTO because they can't come to pick it up," said Peterson. She continued that, "I am for healthy alternatives but we're not a wealthy community and our PTOs rely on our fundraisers."
HFC also requires districts to designate a contact person to "field questions, organize trainings and contact the [Connecticut State Department of Education] for assistance when necessary." Administrators track compliance with the regulations.
"For the last three weeks we've heard about how busy the principals are and how they have no free time. So, we are we putting more work on the principals after hearing for three weeks how they're overworked," said Peterson.
"My perspective is, from a management perspective, you tell them what needs to be done and they get it done," said board member Paul Cavagnero, about administrators.
"Are we going to be tracking the amount of time that is spent on this?" said board member Fiona Cappabianca. Before voting against the measure, she said administrators would be tracking HFC instead of "educating kids."
A heated conversation between board of education members left Fit Together Committee members applauding and while other audience members quietly questioned the new food certification.
The measure passed in a vote of 6 to 3, board members John Kissko, Fiona Cappabianca and Andrew Nargi voted against the measure.
Regarding another portion of the district's wellness programming, Cappabianca suggested that online physical education classes are "expanded" to more students. As explained by assistant superintendent Sue Domanico, students fill out a "physical activity log," describing what kinds of exercise they performed in order to receive credit.
As the board reviews wellness and food policies, the Connecticut Commission on Children says the risks from obesity and inactivity are real.
One in four Connecticut high school students are obese or overweight, 26 percent total, and 12.3 and 13.3 percent respectively, according to data from 2007.
A study developed by researchers at the RTI Institute in North Carolina and quoted by the Commission on Children, estimates that in one year, "obesity-related health problems in Connecticut added $856 million in adult medical expenditures, including $665 million in Medicaid and Medicare costs."
A Torrington pediatrician and Fit Together Committee member, Michael Curi, attending the meeting said, the "single biggest issue I feel is facing the children in this community, the obesity epidemic." He said it is, "by far the biggest issue affecting our kids health, their prospects."

Topic: Intro
My 36 year old brother was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma in August of 2005. They thought he was a good candidate for resection; however, when they opened him up, they said they tumor was around an artery and could not be removed. A stent was put in his bile duct and, since the surgery, he was on a chemo regimen of gemcitabine and cisplatin followed by seven weeks of radiation. Things appeared to be going fairly well based on the initial follow-up PET scans and tumor markers with a few set backs. Last week his PET scan revealed tumor growth and they started chemo again, adding Avastin this time. He had a visit this past week with the doctor who did the stent placement and was told the tumor appears to be wrapping around the intestine. I would appreciate any suggestions/tips/advice for specialists, treatments, alternative treatments, etc. He lives in Flagstaff, Arizona and has been going to Tucson for treatment. Everyone's stories on this site helps you to not feel so alone in this mess! Thanks!

All of us here had high hopes going into the season and all of us know whats transpired since.If JO,Tins and Croshere make it back healthy and with the addition of Peja and subtracting Ron where does that put our team? Peja has turned out to be much better then I thought. He's not just a shooter he can take it to the hoop. Create his own shot when he wants too. The most surprising thing about him is his defense which doesn't equal Rons but appears to be solid.
Can we win it with everyone healthy? If you answer no. What are we missing?

WASHINGTON Republicans need to make up their minds: Is President Obama a socialist or a corporate stooge?
"The president claims his economic agenda is for the middle class. But it's actually for the well-connected," Paul Ryan, the GOP's 2012 vice presidential nominee, wrote last week in USA Today, rejecting Obama's latest proposal for a corporate tax cut. "There's no doubt that it works well for them. But for the rest of us, it's not working at all."
Ryan, in his brief commentary, protested that Obama is "interested in tax reform for corporations but not for families or small business." He further accused Obama of implementing health-care and regulatory policies that favor big businesses and big banks.

George Thorogood & The Destroyers: Live at Montreux 2013
There are funny smart films and funny dumb films. "The World's End" is in the first category. Some 20 years after making a heroic pub crawl, five middle-age Brits try it again in an attempt to get to the final alehouse known as World's End. From the minds behind "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" — director Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost — comes the third in their very loose trilogy. (A type of ice cream and lots of laughs are really all that hold them together thematically.)
Pegg and Frost play two guys who are really no longer friends. They have been brought together for the anniversary run through trickery by Pegg's character. Resentfully, they drag themselves to the first stop, little knowing that as they drink themselves into oblivion, oblivion is coming in the form of an alien invasion. Soon, it's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" gone wild. Preposterous, silly but witty and satirical, it's a amusing trip.
"We're the Millers" is crude, lewd but sometimes very funny. Jason Sudeikis plays a slacker who, to repay a debt, must smuggle an RV filled with drugs over the border. He recruits a stripper (Jennifer Aniston) as a pretend wife and a couple of "kids" (Emma Roberts and Will Poulter) in it for the money. The comedy is soft in some places and no one cares if the crew starts to care about each other, but it hits with enough zingers to keep you going.
Then there is "The To Do List," an underappreciated comedy about an overachieving teen determined to lose her virginity the summer after high school graduation. Aubrey Plaza from "Parks and Recreation" plays the virgin, Brandy Klark. The film, set in 1993, is smarter and funnier than many like-minded films about guys on the same quest. Plaza is wonderfully suited for the role of an A-student with a checklist, systematically going through various sexual experiences before she gives it all up. Hopefully, the film, which didn't do well in theaters, will find an audience on DVD.
With a title like "2 Guns" you can expect some fireworks. Directed by Baltasar Kormakur, it stars Denzel Washington as Bobby and Mark Wahlberg as Stig, a shady odd couple. They plan to rob a bank in a Texas town belonging to Papi Greco (Edward James Olmos), a Mexican cartel drug lord. But before you know it everything gets crazy, with drug agents, the military and spies frantically running around and shooting off their mouths and other things. The film is off-kilter enough to keep you mostly interested, although at the end you may not have any idea what you saw.

Legislative leaders consider move on right-to-work
Tue, 04 Dec 2012 17:59:04 GMT —
The leader of the Michigan Senate says he'll meet again with the fellow Republican House leader and Gov. Rick Snyder about potential right-to-work legislation limiting unions' ability to collect fees from nonunion workers.
Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville told The Associated Press the issue will be on the agenda when he, Snyder and House Speaker Jase Bolger talk Tuesday afternoon. Richardville says they hope to come to a "united conclusion" on the issue dividing labor and business communities but that's "not a foregone conclusion."
The Michigan Chamber of Commerce has announced its support for such legislation, and backers and critics are lobbying at the Capitol.
Michigan voters rejected a ballot proposal last month that would have enshrined collective bargaining rights in the state Constitution and banned right-to-work laws.

Ramirez's hard work pays off with roster spot
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- General manager Terry Ryan was pleased when he looked at Friday's starting lineup and saw Wilkin Ramirez in center field.
"He may have to do that," Ryan predicted, although the Twins see Ramirez primarily as a corner outfielder.
Ramirez, a non-roster invitee who made the team as an extra outfielder and pinch-hitter by batting .415 with a team-high 10 doubles, five RBIs and nine runs scored in 18 games, has been one of the Twins' pleasant surprises this spring.
The Twins have until Sunday to make room on their 40-man roster for the 27-year-old outfielder, although the Blue Jays solved that problem Friday when they claimed right-hander Alex Burnett off waivers.
Ramirez, who made his professional debut in the Tigers' organization in 2003 at the age of 17, last appeared in a Major League game with the Braves on July 27, 2011.

Tim Cahill's 2nd goal boosts Red Bulls
TORONTO -- Tim Cahill scored twice, including a header in the 89th minute, to give the New York Red Bulls a 2-1 victory over Toronto FC on Saturday.
Cahill's tiebreaking goal came off a cross by Thierry Henry and gave New York (4-4-2) its second straight win and third in its past four matches.
Jonathan Osorio had the tying goal for Toronto (1-3-4) in the 83rd minute. Ryan Richter played the ball back to Osorio, who paused to tee up a high shot that sailed over New York goalkeeper Luis Robles and glanced off the crossbar and in the net.
"It's not a jinx, it's not a hoax or anything like that, we need personalities to go and clear the ball, and win the ball ... strong personalities who want it in the back," Toronto FC coach Ryan Nelsen said. "Every successful team in the world has one or two defenders that the ball seems to be like a magnet to their head because they want it so much."
Toronto came in off four straight draws in MLS play, including three in which it gave up a lead in injury time. However, Toronto beat Montreal 2-0 on Wednesday in the Canadian Championship series.
Cahill had given the Red Bulls a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute on a goal also set up by Henry. The former French star had a beautiful dummy on a pass from Roy Miller, letting the ball roll onto an open Cahill, who slotted it from the center of the box past Toronto goalkeeper Joe Bendik.
Toronto had a couple of scoring chances, the first coming off a long shot from Robert Earnshaw that sailed high of the net. Reggie Lambe launched a long shot over the bar in the 59th.
Earnshaw had an excellent chance in the 70th, but fired a shot from close in right to Robles.
"It was a disappointing performance from the first minute to the 90th," Nelsen said. "It was really a shame because the guys had been doing well, we were moving forward.
Asked how much of the responsibility is his, the coach said, "I take all of it. Total responsibility. I'll never accuse players of anything, they're trying their hardest, I feel really bad for them. The responsibility lies with me."

Know before you go
Unless your last name is Diddy, it's not every day that you arrive at an event in a limousine. Getting the right limo often depends on the number of people, number of hours you'll need and how far you're going. Many of our companies specialize in nightlife tours to deliver the best possible experience. The more details you can provide, the better the value and service you'll receive. We allow you to enter all your trip details to get the most accurate quotes online - and we only display limo companies who can service your occasion, passengers, address and meet our strict requirements.
Get the right ride
Ensure the vehicle you're getting has the space, features and look for your celebration. Try to book a vehicle that has room for at least one to two more people than are in your party. Some companies provide music (radio or satellite radio) or can take your iPod. Limos.com service partners offer photos, descriptions and videos of their vehicles - and detailed amenities for the vehicles. They also are available to answer any questions you may have prior to your outing.
Get the whole price
Always make sure you are checking prices apples-to-apples between limo services. Most companies offer services priced by the hour - but many also offer all-inclusive packages for a set number of hours, which is a great option. If you go hourly, pay attention to "add on's" like fuel surcharges, service charge / tip, or other services fees not included in the base price. Limos.com service partners always provide you the full price in our quotes - with no hidden fees or other surprises.

" The LG 42LD490 is a mid-range LCD TV, which has great looks, picture and sound quality. However, it is lacking many of the features that new TV's now have, such as LED display and 3D. "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
We have always liked watching television after a long days work, and we like to watch ours in style. This LG television has to be the best buy we have had yet, simply due to the size of it. This television has a huge 55 inch screen, which we have in our living room, and is certainly big enough for all the family to sit around and watch.
We initially saw this television online, where we where browsing for a new one. The vast majority of the televisions we saw i thought were hugely overpriced for what they where, and the screen size on most of them that where upwards of £2000 where smaller than this!
The television can be watched in 3D, which is my favorite aspect of it, especially when your watching films with brilliant scenery such as Avatar. It comes with two sets of glasses, which I do not think is enough, especially if your having friends over for a movie night, so we had to buy three more pairs, which were overpriced at £30 a set!!
The picture on this product is simply amazing. Compared to some of the other televisions that we have owned, this outshines every one of them, with its brilliant resolution and full HD qualities.
Now, the price. We bought ours outright, at £1400, but it has come down a little in price since then, but It is well worth it compared to the price of some i have seen, and does a whole lot more. I do think it was good value considering the use we have had out of it too.
The sound on the device is quite good, but if you ask me, if your going to buy a quality television, you need a good quality surround sound system in place too. We have a great quality sound system to go with it, which only enhances the viewing experience, especially if you are watching a good horror movie, it actually feels like your in the movie! ( although I'm sure the neighbors do not appreciate that)!
I would recommend this TV to anyone who enjoys watching a good movie, and is looking for a great picture quality at a reasonable price!
I bought one of these televisions after my Hitachi kept playing up. I decided to go for an LG as had heard good things about them. Setup was easy and the software is far superior than previous I have bought. The tele is easy to use and the remote is clearly laid out.
The picture is very clear and crisp, obviously teles with a higher refresh rate are better but they are more expensive. Due to there being 2 hdmi ports on the tv you get an even better picture. The one thing I love about this tele is the USB port on the side. If you want to view pictures/watch videos or play music it can all be played through the USB.
overall I have been pleased with this tv for the price and looks good and has a sturdy rotating base for easy viewing. Will definately be looking at LG when I next buy a tv.
We brought this TV just a few months back when we saw it on offer in a high street shop. We'd been needing to upgrade from our 32" tv in the living room for quite a while as it looked a little small for the living room.
First thing was the difference in quality. The quality of this TV is so crisp and clear and much better than any other television we've had and you just cannot knock the HD (a whole new television viewing experience!!)
It comes with built in Freeview HD but i have to admit we haven't yet used it as we have a virgin media packet at home so i'll do my review based on my virgin viewing experience.
The netcast technology is great as it means i can access youtube from my television - especially great for when i can't find a program my toddler wants to watch so i just search youtube and play it directly from the screen for him to watch.
It also comes with 3 HDMI ports! (most tvs only have 2) which is fab for us being a tech savvy household as we have numerous hard drives with photos/videos/tv programs on which we can use as and when we please!!
I finally traded in my big bulky old style TV last year for a nice new shiny slim line LG LCD TV. My living room is really quite big, so I went for the 42" and I have not been disappointed.
The TV comes with Freeview television which might be handy for some people, but I don't really make use of it as I have a package with Sky. It doesn't have a built in DVD player like most models do, but again that doesn't affect me as I quite often download movies and play them through the TV using a USB stick.
The picture on the TV is excellent. It's a lovely big, clear picture with really good high quality colour and sound.
It's a really user friendly machine too - especially for a techno-phobe like me. It came with a huge instruction manual and nice little one pager summary. I used the one pager summary and I was easily able to set it up myself. Now I find it really easy to switch between different modes such as TV, AV and as I said I can pop in a USB to watch movies on.
It seems to be a reliable TV, so far I've not had any problems with it, and hopefully that will continue!
There is truly nothing not to like about this TV in my own personal experience.
My family, as have many others of late, have with some trepidation bitten the bullet and finally laid their old decrepit boxy TV's to rest. May they rest in pieces for they served us long and well Amen.
But with every sad passing comes new hope for the future, a future where you can finally plug in all your doodahs and thingamywhatsits without risking a migraine trying to figure out where to plug it all in.
If you are anything like me you will end up at some point soon after your purchase, in my case within getting it in the car, found to be caressing the box on the way home hissing "Precciiooouuuuuus" in your best Gollum impression, especially if you bagged it for the absolute steal we bought it for.
It's the cream in my coffee, it's the tappit and unwrappit chocolate orange of the TV world. But seriously no tapping required, just unwrap this yummy sleek beauty, position it as is your want, plug it in and away you go. It's foolproof, I didn't even need my 4 year old to explain it all to me it's THAT easy.
As has been pointed out a few times within reviews I too find the sound a little quiet at times, but I'm hard pressed to notice whether it's actually the TV thats the problem here or the inconsistancies in sound within indiviual programmes and channels. We've all been there, you have it all the way up to eleven dozing off to Autumnwatch, when at the flick
of a teenage whim you are blasted through walls into next door by Kerrang without them ever touching the volume.
As for the picture quality, well it's so good It's usually only when I flick through channels that I finally notice I've neglected to watch a HD specific channel, so no gripes there either.
Connectivity wise, as overflourished earlier you are set for whatever new box, game console or otherwise that you may get pestered for in the visable future.
Freeview is what you would expect and another handy feature is the ability to turn the backlight down, thus saving energy. I know, I'm sure most new fangled TV's have this feature nowerdays, but at risk of sounding like a complete luddite, it's comforting to have the ability to try save power in our homes wherever we can.
I bought this TV at just £399 on the Soho Road in Birmingham (so do shop around because I paid way less than most would) and I am over the moon with it, there is probably only one thing I can fault about it which I will come onto later.
The TV looks lovely and is definitely the feature of my living room - the picture on this page does it no justice at all, it is stunning and very modern looking. I am always receiving compliments from my guests about this TV. Oh and not to forget, the TV is huge.
The picture quality is flawless, I only realised the difference when I upgraded from my old non HD TV. As far as I'm concerned, after using this TV, I would never go back to a TV with standard definition picture. Unfortunately I cannot comment on the 3D feature because my Virgin Media doesn't allow for 3D viewing, but personally because of my lazy eye I wouldn't be able to see things in 3D properly anyway.
The TV comes with built in freeview which I find very useful for when my Virgin Media plays up, this is very simple to use unlike a lot of other freeview TV's - It has a TV guide you can bring up with your remote to allow you to easily navigate through your freeview channels. However I have found the picture quality of the built in freeview channels is not as good as the channels I get from my Virgin Media box (even the HD freeview channels).
The only way I can fault this TV is with the sound but this could just be a result of my own tastes. I only like sound with a lot of bass to give me the experience of being in a cinema, and a lot of TVs I've had in the past (Even the ones that are about half a metre thick) have been able to deliver this. The sound on this TV seems far too weak and reminds me of my laptop speakers. This is still the case if you change the sound setting on the TV to the highest bass.
However, for the price I paid for the TV I would have no problem making up for this by buying a home cinema system so this might be worth investing in if you're like me and enjoy good quality sound.
This is a great, really high quality TV with loads of extra features. The TV is full HD, which does actually give you a better clearer picture, although it may sometimes actually be hard to notice. The TV has a massive range of inputs which makes it really easy to connect any device to it, whether it be a TV box, DVD player or watching catch up programmes from your laptop is easy to do. The sound quality is great and the TV lasts a very long time. It also like many new TV's has a built in Freeview HD feature which although I don't use, if you don't have sky gives you free TV with Freeview HD without even having to pay for the box you get HD TV for nothing. Overall I think this is a great long lasting good quality TV, with loads of inputs and added features - at a reasonable cost for the TV quality and brand name you get with it.
When redecorating my living room in may we decided to get a new tv to complete the picture. This TV is a great size as it does not look too large in the space that we have. I cannot find any fault with the TV. The built in freeview is a great feature as i do not have sky and used to have a freeview box on top of my old tv which isnt great to look at. The guide is brilliant as you can still listen to what you are watching and it has a time line at the top of the guide with an arrow to show how far through the programme is.
The internet is a great feature and is brilliant to show videos from youtube on the large screen. The remote control is simple and easy to use. The HD is great quality and non HD programmes are brilliantly clear as well a lot better than any previous tv i have had.
It also has a great feature of energy saving, which allows you to turn the screen off whilst still listening to what is on the tv, a great feature to use when on the Radio channels that are on offer. Also with the USB port on the side its great to use to show photos etc from USB memory stick, brilliant feature.
We managed to buy this TV just in time to watch Frozen Planet, which has been very fortunate as the picture quality could almost be described as breath-taking, especially when projecting a stunning arctic landscape directly into our living room. For some reason we viewed the TV as more of a necessity than a new sofa, and so are still sat every evening on a rather hard, coverless futon, which gets less and less padded by the day, watching our brand spanking new TV. We have interesting priorities.
I'll begin, then, with the technical details, though I'll try to keep this section as brief and as interesting as possible. The LG 42" LCD TV is backlit, which apparently makes it ideal for watching fast-action movies and sports. I don't watch much of either, but I can tell you that animations look fantastic on it. A nice feature running alongside this is that you can adjust the energy settings, so if you're watching something that doesn't require such impressive visuals, like the news or a quiz show (must be careful not to mention my addiction to Eggheads here) then you can just down the light levels and thus save some energy. What do you know- a giant, flat screen, eco-friendly TV. Well, let's face it, no 42" LCD TV is going to be particularly eco-friendly, but at least if you're going to buy one anyway then this is a good start. According to the information we were given in-store, the average LCD uses 30% less energy than an LCD or a plasma TV anyway.
You also get a freeview tuner with this model, meaning you can get all those extra digital channels and radio stations free, and there's a USB port for plugging in a memory stick to watch your photos as a slideshow on the big screen.
In fact you can also, according to the manual, pick up wireless, though we haven't tried this yet. We really should though, because with our Lovefilm subscription that would mean we could watch films via live streaming as well as being posted DVDs and Blu-rays, but without having to hunch in front of a laptop.
The one major disadvantage of this TV, in my view, is the sound quality. It just doesn't match up in any way with the picture quality, and in fact once you turn the volume up to about 20, it seems to remain the same from there onwards. You can turn the volume all the way up to 40 or more and it will still sound quite quiet, especially when people are speaking. It isn't that the sound is tinny or muffled in any way, however. It sounds quite sharp and clear, but somehow just never quite loud enough. I suppose the answer to that is to buy a home cinema system to go with it, or at least a set of speakers, but that's quite a commitment when you'll already have forked out around £600 for the TV itself. The home cinema systems are about another £200 on top of that.
Having said that, I'm not sure it's only LG that has this problem with sound quality. My parents have a Panasonic TV which is like ours, 42" with great picture quality, but again, the volume just isn't really there. Perhaps it just isn't possible to make a slim, sleek-looking TV with decent enough speakers to give the sound the volume it really needs. If I wanted to be really cynical about it I might even suggest this was a deliberate ploy to get people spending the extra £200. The logic, after all, is that if you've spent £600 on the TV, what's an extra £200 to get all the benefits of it? Not a logic we'll be following just yet, mind you. I think the sofa may actually need to be the next purchase on the list.
The only other thing I can say about this TV is that it was very easy to set up. You'll need an HDMI cable if you want to plug it into a blu-ray player, but the instruction manual is very clear and easy to understand and there isn't a lot that needs plugging in to get it working anyway. It's also easy to tune, as instructions are given on screen.
We've been very happy with our purchase so far and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new, very good quality TV. Don't be put off by my comments on the sound quality either- the actual quality is good, but some people may prefer a higher volume than this TV can offer without speakers but, as I said, I think this may be something that's common to all wide, flat screen televisions.
I used to think that having a big TV wasn't that important, and it was unnecessary and basically just a waste of money for something that didn't really make that much of difference. Although it's true that you don't really need a big TV, I can now see how much of an improvement it is, and how it makes watching your favourite programmes or films such a great experience.
-ooo- The Product -ooo-
This is a 42-inch TV, which sounds enormous, but is something that you quickly get used to. It is widescreen and full HD, which you can really appreciate on a screen of this size. It has built-in Freeview as well. First of all, I suppose it's the look of the TV that makes the first impression. It's not only big but also very slim - it's only an inch or so deep and it's amazing that so much fits in so little space. You can put it on a wall, but it's important to note that you really need speakers for this, as they are on the back and will sound muffled against a wall.
The TV has the usual connections for games consoles and USBs etc. It is designed in gloss black and looks really smooth and sleek and simple - basically, a typical modern TV, although I do like the thin transparent edge around it, which makes it stand out quite nicely.
-ooo- Would I Recommend? -ooo-
There are so many things I like about this TV. The picture quality is great - the colours are so sharp and movement is super-smooth. On both blu-ray and normal DVD, everything looks cinema quality, and even normal programmes are made to look so much better. I heard that it wasn't so good for fast moving action, but sport also looks really good here, I think.
The menus are well designed and easy to navigate, and you don't need to spend lots of time to get the hang of the systems. I like the inclusion of an energy-saving system which lets you easily dim the TV down when you don't need it to be so bright. Everything looks really well designed, and a lot of thought has gone into the navigation of the menus.
Physically, the TV is very strong and secure, with a good wide base that keeps it steady. It feels well made, and doesn't seem like it would break easily.
If there's one negative, I would say that the sound isn't as good as the rest of the TV. It's okay, but not as impressive as the other elements, and often needs turning up quite a lot. Still, I'm happy with it - and I think this is a brilliant TV for £500. It has just about everything, and it's made watching TV so enjoyable!
We bought this tv a few months ago from Currys, a snip at under £500. I decided that it was time to replace my old 32 inch and join the big leagues and see what HD has to offer. So far this has been a great purchase and gaming on my PS3 has been superb. FIFA and fallout are a joy of a huge screen like this. As expected from LG, you get good quality tech at a much more reasonable price than from Sony and Panasonic. The black levels are strong and the quality of picture is quite impressive, and I don't have the same level of glare from sunlight as I did from my previous TV. The sound quality is good although I normally port the output through my surround sound setup. This TV was easy to setup and the instructions filled in any blanks on how to move through the menus quickly and easily
We bought this in the christmas season last year and managed to get it at steal for £499 in the Curry's sale. We previously had a nice little 32inch TV but wanted to splurge on something a little more impressive, and im glad we did. We reserved it over the phone so when we got to the store and saw how big it was, we were a little shocked at its vastness and thought 'there's no way this thing is going to fit in our living room' but amazingly it does perfectly. When we picked up the box we also found that is is lighter than it looks so although I have no plans to lug it around anywhere, should we need to move it then it won't be too difficult.
When we got it home and took it out of the box, it fit in really well with our not huge front room. It is thin and sleek, so doesn't look out of place at all. The instructions were simple, and setting up was really easy. Put the batteries in the remote, turn it on, and it guides you through set up and tuning.
It has ports for every device you could possibly want to plug into a tv, numerous scart, AV, and HDMI etc ports. When you want to switch input device one push of the remote brings you to a clearly laid out menu with large icons to distinguish between devices. There is even the option to customise the options, for example we have the AV1 option customised with a picture of a games console and the word 'Console' underneath so that the kids can easily navigate and know that its the option they want to access the Wii. A similar thing with the Scart1 port, it has a dish picture and 'Satellite' underneath so everyone knows that is where the Sky is. there is also a port for plugging in USB sticks, so you can view photos as a slideshow and even play music.
It is a great looking TV. sleek, slim, and stylish. And the picture quality is amazing. A marked increase in quality on HD channels too. A great buy, well worth the money.
This is a very very good TV for the price that we got it at, we got it for around 400 in the winter sale. i have no idea how the winter period effects the price of a television but hey there you go, maybe cause its cold and you want to sit in the house and watch TV more. im sure there is reason behind the madness.
The tv is a very sleek and clean cut design, there's no need to faff around when it comes down to looking into other televisions, you dont need to look further. this has a easy to set up system, all the ports that the world can need in the back and you can plug all your devices into it easily which then are picked up and work straight away! what more can you demand ? nothing that's right.
Price and Availability
We got ours for around the 400 region, although after looking at the price comparison section they appear to be going for alot higher, its understandable as it is an excellent quality product for the price that you are going to be paying. For the 550ish price that you will pay, you get the remote, all the according wires and luckily if your fluky enough you will be able to get a hd DVD player with it aswell, this makes the amount that you need to pay so much better.
You should be able to find this TV in most of your stores such as curry's and PC world, however if your lazy and you cant be bothered to leave the house, you would be able to find this on the internet, you would be better off doing this however as you are able to find better deals online aswell and also you are able to get vouchers and coupons online that can save you on the delivery costs and all the small extras that shops try to charge you so you are then able to get "alot more for your dollar" as some would say.
Appearance and Design.
This TV is amazing when it comes down to the look of it, its slim which means its very easy to find a place for it to stand, the bottom also has a twist feature so if your the only one watching the TV in the room but the other seats for some reason have been took up then dont worry as you can then twist the screen so that it can face directly at you and your mind can be blown from the HD effects that happen whilst watching your movie. The section under the TV is the small blue light which lets you know that it switches on and off and where you need to point the remote at it so you can switch channels.
With all the TV being black it can easily fit into any room and blend in and still keep the class and style that the TV carries with it, we would expect nothing less from LG. The remote is a very easy use device which does have alot of buttons on however these all are explained in the small manual that you get when purchasing this god like item. The buttons are big so that if you have fat fingers like me you dont have to worry about pressing more then one at a time, Unlike old televisions where your family would normally have to collect certain remotes for each digibox that all had loads of wires linking them all together, this is different you can now control everything with the one remote as the digibox / freeview box is linked into it.
Yes you still need to keep the sky remote aswell to work that but still it keeps the hassle of finding new batteries for all the different remotes! excellent design if you ask me.
All the ports on the back of the television are clearly labeled so even if your of the older generation you wont have any problems trying to figure which one goes into each section, as soon as you plug them in they work without having to program them or anything like that. really really simple stuff.
The screen quality is amazing, due to its 1080p (full hd) design which can produce 1920 x 1080p picture resolution meaning that its the most crisp and vibrant colours you will see on a TV, this is a massive improvement on the standard picture quality that you would get from a big old TV box that you would find back in the old days. This allows you to be able to feel like your really in the game of blue ray DVD that your watching, once you watched it there's no way you can go back to the old television as it just ruins films and picture quality
Very good television with alot of options to add the extra DVD players and all that sort of thing into the back, there's no way you will get bored of this TV and in the life span that you have it, it will do very well with keeping you up to date. However if you are the type of person who always want to have the latest gadget and gismo then i would recommend that you go for the 3D TV's as there new on the scene and will start to dominate once they are perfected.
I actually have the 37" version of this TV but is identical apart from the size. Nothing special to say about the design just like every other LCD TV, black bordering a LCD panel. Back of the TV has all the inputs you need including 3x HDMI's, Optical In/Out and Ethernet. The set's picture quality is excellent and very good for a 50hz TV. Audio is good but can seem a bit quiet so I recommend having the volume at a decent level. Was pleased to find the TV tuner is Freeview HD, never seen the point in selling a HD tv with a non-hd tuner.
The Netcast feature is for me the TV's best selling point, once connected to a ethernet or wireless connection, a small update is downloaded. The netcast includes great apps such as IPlayer (Good playback in HD), Google maps, a weather app, a radio tuner app plus a few extras I haven't really explored yet. The 37" version of this TV is now selling for about £380 and is definitely very good value for that price.

One small step for man, four MLB moon-landing facts
While Armstrong set foot on moon 45 years ago, baseball also had big moments
Forty-five years ago, at 11:56 p.m. ET on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. He said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," and along with astronaut teammates Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins, they helped change human history.
There were things happening that day on the surface of Earth, too, such as 20 teams in action in Major League Baseball.
Here are four things to know about that momentous day 45 years ago … on Planet Baseball:
1. Historic homer
Gaylord Perry was a 30-year-old future Hall of Famer pitching for the San Francisco Giants. Five years earlier, in 1964, he was taking batting practice and was being watched by his manager, Alvin Dark, and a Bay Area reporter, Harry Jupiter.
"I was good friends with Harry, and he and Alvin were watching me in the cage, and Harry said something like, 'You know, Perry isn't a bad hitter. He might hit a home run or two for you,'" Perry told MLB.com in 2009. "Of course, Alvin saw a whole lot that he liked in my pitching and saw a whole lot that he didn't like in my hitting, and he said, 'Mark my words. A man will land on the moon before Gaylord Perry hits a home run.'
"Well, about the top of the third, over the loudspeaker, they were telling everybody to stand and give a moment of silence as thanks for the astronauts who landed on the moon. And I'd say 30 minutes later, Claude Osteen grooved me a fastball, and I hit it out of the park."
Perry's moonshot was the first of six career homers and, as he explains, the thing he's talked the most about to this day. More than the Hall of Fame. More than the 300-win club. Heck, even more than the Vaseline.
2. Once in a Blue moon
About 400 miles south of where Perry was going yard for the first time in a Hall of Fame career, in the first game of a doubleheader at Anaheim Stadium, a hard-throwing 19-year-old Oakland Athletics left-hander named Vida Blue pitched in a Major League game for the first time.
"I thought I was ready, and the folks that brought me up thought I was ready," Blue told MLB.com in 2009. "So why wouldn't I have thought that way?"
Blue knew what was going on with the astronauts, having followed the news, but the fact that he was about to be pitching in The Show after a Double-A callup was more on his mind.
"I was fresh out of the Southern League," Blue said. "The crowd itself was so different. It was the classic deer-in-the-headlights syndrome. As cool and as calm as you think you are, you're really not. You're thrust into a situation you've never experienced before.
"I mean, seriously, before that game, attendance at one of my games might have been 5,000, maybe 10,000. And now it's 35,000. And these were big league hitters. I'd never seen that type of talent before."
Blue, who would win 209 career games, make six All-Star teams and take the American League Cy Young Award and the AL Most Valuable Player Award in 1971, went 5 1/3 innings, giving up five runs -- three earned -- on six hits, including two home runs, in the A's 7-3 loss to the Angels. His career began with an 0-1 record.
"I just remember it was obviously a great chance for me, and, as it turns out, it was a unique thing to pitch on the day this country landed a man on the moon," Blue said. "It's pretty cool and kind of flattering that it happened on the same day."
3. Twice in a blue moon
Gaylord wasn't the only Perry doing historic things on a very historic day in the Milky Way. Gaylord's brother, Jim, was a pitcher on the Twins, who were in Seattle playing the Pilots and had gone 16 innings the previous night in a 7-7 tie at Sick's Stadium.
The game needed to be finished on July 20, and Jim was slated to start that day's scheduled game. So Perry pitched the last two innings of the completion of the suspended game, got the win, and then threw a complete-game shutout, scattering nine hits in a 4-0 win to earn his second "W" in the same day.
4. One amazin' night
On July 20, 1969, the New York Mets, who in a few short months would become the darlings of baseball en route to a stunning World Series championship, had just split a doubleheader with the Montreal Expos in Parc Jarry north of the border. They were at the airport, waiting for their United Airlines charter back to LaGuardia in the Big Apple.
They waited and waited some more, and boredom led to humor. The humor, naturally, was centered around the astonishing news event of the day.
"I definitely heard at least one or two guys say something like, 'Great, we can make it to the moon, but we can't fly from Montreal to New York,'" former Mets outfielder Ron Swoboda told MLB.com in 2009.
"The plane had a mechanical problem they had to work on, so naturally, we repaired to the airport lounge and had a few beverages," Swoboda said. "While we were in the bar, looking at the TV, Armstrong walked on the moon. It was another example of the good things that happened in 1969 for the New York Mets.
"It just seemed like all things were possible. And when I think of all the things that were possible, [us winning the World Series] seemed like the longest shot of them all. But that's what happened."

Anthopoulos may look to add bat via trade
TORONTO -- Back in May, it would've seemed highly unlikely that the Blue Jays' priority at the non-waiver Trade Deadline would be to acquire more offense. The team pounded the ball through that month, leading the Major Leagues in runs (165), homers (48) and OPS (.829), while putting up a 21-9 record over that span, including a nine-game win streak.
Back then, conversation was almost entirely about Toronto's need to acquire starting pitching in order to contend for a playoff spot in the American League East. But the narrative has changed over the course of a month and half, as the Blue Jays' offense has fallen into a slump. Since June 1, the team has scored the second fewest runs in the AL, ahead of only the Red Sox.
"Just having watched the games, clearly, offensively, we haven't played as well as we can," Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday when asked about specific areas he'd like to improve upon by the deadline.
Injuries have contributed to that low production. With Edwin Encarnacion, Brett Lawrie and Adam Lind on the 15-day disabled list, there are holes in the Blue Jays' batting order. Getting those players back will provide a boost, but that won't stop Anthopoulos from attempting to add a bat via trade.
"I think the return to health represents an upgrade. Our four-, five-, six-hole hitters are out. Getting them back is huge, no matter what," Anthopoulos said. "But we're going to look at doing it by trade as well. Hopefully, it will be a combination of both.
"We can add players, so we have the ability to have that dialogue at any time," he said. "I don't see any reason why we won't be able to add players, and obviously players make money; no one plays for free."

|Experimental: 1 - Experimental
Behavioral: Use of Memory Aids to take medications
Experimental participants will receive an integrated intervention tailored to the communication and comprehension of the individual, and will include memory aid devices, education regarding side effects and other treatment aspects, and active community outreach. For those who fail to adhere using the basic intervention, a treatment cascade that increases in intensity will be implemented. Using 80% adherence as a target, the cascade will include involvement of family and significant others in prompting participants through use of beepers, cellphones, and for those who still fall short of 80% adherence, directly observed therapy.
|No Intervention: 2 - Control
Detailed Description:
There is concern that HIV positive SMI persons may be a greater risk for poor treatment adherence, increasing risk for poorer outcomes and development of treatment resistance virus, and also placing others at greater risk. Involvement of advance practice nurses has been previously shown to improve outcomes for persons with HIV/AIDS.

Arrested Oct. 10 for allegedly stealing a woman's purse, a computer and other items, Dylan DiGiovanni, 20, of North Platte was charged Tuesday with thefts from Miller Repair in Maxwell.
Digiovanni asked for a court-appointed attorney and Judge Kent Turnbull assigned Patrick Hays to the case. Turnbull also added another $10,000 bond, consecutive to DiGiovannis $10,000 previous bond.
His next court hearing is set for Nov. 1.
DiGiovanni and Kyer Feeney of North Platte are suspected in several thefts. DiGiovanni was initially arrested after a woman working the harvest south of Maxwell told law officers that her purse was stolen from her car while she was working, Lincoln County Sheriff Jerome Kramer said.
Another person in the field saw a vehicle nearby and later saw it again at an Interstate-80 lake near Maxwell, the sheriff said. Deputies stopped the vehicle as it was leaving the lake. DiGiovanni was driving. The sheriff said deputies found some of the womans property and other suspected stolen items in the vehicle, including a laptop that was reported missing in August after the Maxwell school was burglarized.
Deputies found a place at the lake where DiGiovanni apparently tried to burn the purse along with some of his own personal paperwork. Deputies found the papers under the partially burnt purse, the sheriff said. When investigators searched DiGiovannis house, they found four more laptops that were missing from the school.
Maxwell school officials reported a burglary during the night Aug. 12. Kyer Feeney is thought to have been the prime burglar. He was arrested Oct. 16 and remains in jail on a $25,000 bond. He was scheduled for to appera in court Tuesday, but the Lincoln County Attorneys Office postponed his appearance because more charges against him are pending.
Both men are also suspected in thefts in Frontier and Logan Counties and investigators are working to sort it out, Sheriff Kramer has said.

TROWBRIDGE pilot John Jackson says that his GB1 team have been given a lift by the arrival of international sprinter Craig Pickering.
The 26-year-old, who missed out on competing in London 2012 through injury, helped Paxcroft Mead's Jackson to finish 19th in the two-man event at last weekend's FIBT World Cup series round in Königssee, Germany.
Pickering opted to switch from athletics to bobsleigh after losing his Lottery funding and Jackson, who was 10th in the four-man event with Stuart Benson, Bruce Tasker and Joel Fearon on board, is hoping that the sprint track's loss is the ice track's gain.
"I think the addition of Craig to the team is a big boost to the team," said Jackson.
"Considering he has only done limited technique work at Bath University and only had four training runs on ice prior to the race, I think he did really well.
"With the guys on the four man team last year, it took over half a season to start to work out how to push a sled rather than running with a sled. "I believe that Craig has come in at a higher level, but will be better next year, whether that is with the two or four man.
"The four man is going well too.
"We are still ranked top five in the world rankings and would have had a top six finish, if not for a mistake at the start of run one."
Meanwhile, GB1 women's pilot Paula Walker, who lives with Jackson at Paxcroft Mead, was seventh in Königssee, with Kelly Denyer as her brakewoman after regular partner Gillian Cooke suffered an injury during the pair's crash in Altenberg last week.
Walker said: "Seventh place matches our place from last year's race and, with slower start times, shows that the driving and equipment is coming along.
"Altenberg was such a great shame for us. Had we made it down, I'm pretty confident we would have gone home with silver. But crashing is a part of our sport and although we were devastated, we now know it is truly within us to win medals on a difficult track."
The next round of the two-man world cup begins today in Igls, Austria, with the World Championships in St. Moritz just a week away.

"While they are no longer being made on the 13th floor of the State Street store, they aren't any less of a Chicago tradition."
Last week I went home to Chicago to visit my family and while in town, I also paid a visit to Marshall Fields & Company for a box of Frango Mints. My grandmother recently mailed me a box in lieu of an Easter basket, which I polished off in no less than a weekend. Of course, having a taste of one of my childhood favorites, I couldn't possibly resist the chance of getting my hands on another pound or two!
Frango Mints are something of an Andes-Candy-turned-bon-bon. With a filling of peppermint-flavored ganache, enrobed in a semisweet chocolate shell, they are simply delicious.
The Frango company began producing these bite-sized treats in 1918 at a department store in Seattle. In 1929, Marshall Fields purchased the company and began producing them in Chicago.
And while they are no longer being made on the 13th floor of the State Street store, they aren't any less of a Chicago tradition. (At least not in my family, where the are given out to guests like door prizes and my father insists on keeping a case of one-pound boxes around "just in case!")

So I used to play all the time and have picked it back up again. I love the sport and go at least twice a week if not more. I have about 4-5 courses I rotate. I just have some simple discs (3 pack package for $20 at walmart). A driver, mid range, and putter by Wham-O (I know - shitty). The discs are about 172g.
But I just can't get long distance throws and have trouble keeping it straight a lot of the time as well. I feel like I am throwing 1/2 the distance of other people (maybe less).
I use a power grip (I think I am holding it right but can't seem to get the discs to go far or straight every time - there isn't a pattern to it - sometimes its left, sometimes right, sometimes straight, sometimes high, sometimes low, etc)
I have watched a million online videos on throwing, driving, putting, approach shots, etc - I have tried everything. I practice throwing at the park twice a week and there are still all over the place.
My putting and midrage throws are decent - I average 3-4 tosses per hole.
Will better (lighter or heavier) more expensive discs help maybe?

I hate losing at Home....much less hate losing to the Pistons.
A few thoughts:
- Losing the Offensive Rebounds at 2 to 1 killed us
- PG24 going 4-14 hurts us....but I suspect his finger is still bothering him
- Hibbert going 2-12 hurts us.....but he had to deal with both Monroe and Drummond in the low-post
- Lance has a career high in scoring
- Scola with a season high in scoring
In the end...I blame the Rims...not the Refs for this loss. The Rims were just not friendly to the Pacers this game. A lot of shots that the Team regularly takes just rimmed right out.

I'm new here nice too meet u.
Namo Buddhaya.
So, someone told me "In my religion said God always be with us, so don't be afraid, God will help us all and take us to the glory." Then asked me what my opinion in buddhism way.
So I told him "In buddhism, we have our own karma and only we can save ourself and free ourself from sins and suffers. Not even God can save us."
After I said that, I still feel that it's not the correct answer for my friend.
Then I think maybe there's a better answer because I'm also still newbie as buddhist.
Please help me find better answer as I want to learn more from buddhism.
Thank you.
Best Regards,
