Children's Park laborers from 1993 and active users of 2017 pressed for answers Monday in a community meeting convened by officials of the City of Hood River, which owns and operates the park.
The park playground was closed for safety reasons Friday, following an engineering study that found 31 separate safety concerns (see the city website, www.ci.hood-river.or.us for the report.)
Mayor Paul Blackburn called the meeting at Hood River fire hall to inform citizens about the city's process for replacing the playground structure, and to answer concerns. Citizens told city officials that the four days' closure notice was far too abrupt.
"The biggest issue was that the communication rollout was really tough," Kaitlyn Abbott told city officials during Monday's Q-and A.
"I want to apologize for that happening," Blackburn said. "I don't blame any one person, and I'm partly responsible, but we want you to know it will be re-opened and maybe within a few weeks."
City officials said updates would be posted at the website listed above.
City manager Steve Wheeler, who was present Monday, informed City Council of the closure on March 27; it was reported in the Hood River News on March 29, and the structure was closed March 30, citing "major problems" that came to light when staff inspected it and the engineering study revealed safety problems.
The playground is surrounded by chain-link and "Keep Out" signs, but Mark Lago, public works director, said Monday that roughly half the playground features can be repaired for use this summer, and the city is targeting Memorial Day to re-open portions of the structure, which citizens raised funds for and helped build.
"We've got to close it," Blackburn said. "If a kid gets hurt after we were informed (of problems) we would be liable.
"The safety report is dead serious," he said. Wheeler cited the end of "recreational immunity" — the user being accountable for the risk — as protection for the city ; he said the Legislature is looking at revisions to the law, but as it stands now the city, or anyone it allows to do work on the park, can be held liable.
"Right now we are not protected," Wheeler said.
Wheeler and Blackburn said there have been no reports of injuries at the park.
Rebuilding the structure will cost $250,000 to $300,000, according to Lago and Blackburn, based on preliminary inquiries.
The remainder of Children's Park remains open, and the city is pointing users to the Waterfront Park, Wilson Park and other facilities with playgrounds.
"There are lots of other parks where you can meet nice people," Blackburn said.
"We got 24 years out of wooden structure that was only supposed to last 20," Blackburn said. Wheeler said the city plans to include playground money in the 2017-18 budget, now in development.
Monday's community meeting turned into part reunion, with 1993 organizers Dan Boyden and Kym Zanmiller speaking, and part rally, as attendees decried the closure and vowed a renewal of the community effort that built the park 24 years ago.
"We'd love to have citizen involvement in this," Blackburn said, adding that the city plans to approach the Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District about some type of partnership. Also attending were council members Mark Zanmiller and Megan Saunders.
About 100 people attended Monday and the city got an earful.
"Why can't we just replace some things rather than starting from scratch?" asked Dixie Kelly.
"What we have is not just a park but a monument," said Dan Boyden, who helped organize the 1993 project. "This is an opportunity to restore the park and maybe rekindle the spirit of this."
"I appreciate what the community did, but maybe if you made the monument out of something more durable we wouldn't be talking about this," Blackburn responded.
Melody Shellman noted that much of the park is not ADA compliant, however.
Clara Cook noted that "a ton of regulations that have changed in the last 5 to 15 years, but as much as I don't want to see the park removed, if there are things that are going to make it safer for everyone's kid, maybe this is a good thing."
Mark Hickok, executive director of the Parks and Recreation District, attended the meeting. The parks board has not discussed the matter but plans to do so.
"We consider the city a great partner and we'd like support it in any way we can, whether it's helping with either working with the community to select or come up with a solution, or in monetary ways," Hickok said Tuesday. The Parks and Recreation board next meets on April 19 at 6 p.m. at the Aquatic Center, and the topic might be on the agenda, according to Hickok. "It's a beautiful park, a gem of the community and we would love to see what the city comes up with for the new play equipment and are able to help in any way," he said.
Helping was the heart of most public comment Monday.
Citizens including Brian Carlstrom, who helped in the 1993 project, expressed doubt about the safety concerns and urged the city to hasten repairs so that people can use the park again.
"This is more about liability than safety," Carlstrom said, saying, "Most of these (safety) items can be handled in a work party. How about Saturday?"
At the end of the meeting, Carlstrom asked Blackburn, Wheeler and Lago, "Will you give us permission to do this right now?"
"No, not right now," Blackburn said.
"When?" Carlstrom asked
"We ask you to be patient," Lago said.
Wheeler announced that a $1,441 donation has already been made to the city.
The donation is from Lynn Lewis and her children, Maggie and Graham, now in their early 20s, who 10 years ago raised funds to pay for shading features at the park; the money was never spent but the family kept the fund and last week turned it over to the city. Lynn Lewis said she hopes that some redesign of the park will include shade devices.
Blackburn said no city staffer has been assigned as project manager, and that the city would entertain a community group taking on planning and fundraising roles, including creating a 501.C3 account.
Steve Tessmer of Hood River Rotary said the group was prepared to host such an account as it has done for past parks projects including Skatepark.
Blackburn, who has worked as a professional fundraiser, noted that "Finding the sweet spot between engaging peoples' energy and peoples' energy enduring is a lot of work."

"Lord, thou hast passed this sentence upon the woman that was first in the transgression, (1 Timothy 2:14) that in sorrow she shall bring forth children. (Genesis 3:16). But let this handmaid of thine be saved in child-bearing, and continue in faith and charity and holiness, with sobriety.(1 Timothy 2:15). Enable her to cast her burden upon the Lord, and let the Lord sustain her; Psalm 55:22 and what time she is afraid, grant that she may trust in thee (Psalm 56:3) and may encourage herself in the Lord her God. (1 Samuel 30:6.)O let not the root be dried up from beneath, nor let the branch be withered or cut off; (Job 18:16) but let both live before thee. Be thou her strong habitation, her rock, and her fortress, give commandment to save her.( Psalm 71:3). And when travail comes upon her, which she cannot escape, be pleased, O Lord, to deliver her;( 1 Thessalonians 5:3). O Lord, make haste to help her; (Psalm 40:13) be thou thyself her help and deliverer, make no tarrying, O our God. (Psalm 40:17). Let her be safely delivered and remember the anguish no more, for joy that a child is born into the world, is born unto thee.( John 16:21.)"

If others are the ones putting all their stakes in, giving tips and making demands is easy. I find the idea of an earlier bail-out preventing all this amusing. We now had gigantic bail-outs and ECB interventions, even more of that is coming. The effects were disappointing - as disappointing as an early bail-out would've been. You can't bail-out against these huge deficits, and you can't even prevent them as budgets are sovereign matters.
When I said rescue packages, I meant bailouts AND austerity measures. Of course bailout money alone is not going to solve the problem. But the overall efforts were too little at the start, and investors remained lacking confidence. If a more complete package was implemented from the start, the market would have stablised much easier. Italy's bond interest would not have risen to an unaffordable level, which triggered more panic and another round of rescue package.

It was our last training sessions before the D-Day! We will fly to Kathmandu on this coming Wed, Sep 16! This time we hiked in Cibodas National Park. Located in Puncak Area, not so far from Puncak Pass, about 1:30 minutes drive from Jakarta. We started a bit late, arrived there about 10:30am. Our destination is the hot spring at 2100 meter height and we managed to go there! The bapak in the parking area said that it took 3 hours to go up and 2 hours to go down, but we ended walking about 6 hours! No surprise though :-) Me and Dewi stopped many times to take pictures and to take a rest of course :-)Cibodas is a nice place to hike or just walk to get a fresh air. Telaga Biru is about 1 hour walk, another 30 minutes you will arrive at Cibeureum waterfall. All are based in our pace of course! I dunno how many hours to arrive at the summit :-)
Enjoy the pictures!

1885 Burger Store (Taipei)
December 19, 2011 in Food, Reviews, Taiwan, Travel by pacejmiller
Taipei has a surprising number of burger joints, and I am determined to try them all. According to my research, one of the 'must tries' is 1885 Burger Store, located near the Shida Night Markets. The store is standalone and spacious, with US cafe-style decorations, comfy lounges and wooden tables and chairs. It is almost always packed, and in peak times expect long waits.
Named after the apparent birth year of the hamburger, 1885 has a varied menu of over 20 burgers split into "Hand Made" and "Special Made" burgers. Almost all burgers have cheese, and while some are your run-of-the-mill type burgers (Swiss Cheese, Cheddar Cheese), there are also some jumbo burgers (Jumbo Double Cheese Burger, BBQ Pineapple Cheese Burger) and more unique burgers you might not see elsewhere (Special Jam Burger, Smoked Salmon Havarti Cheese Burger, Mexican Tartar Cheese Burger). The burgers all come with fries and price range is between NT$130 and 340, though most are roughly around NT$200.
On this day, we ordered the Mushroom Cheese Burger (NT$210) with extra honey mustard sauce on the side, plus a BBQ Chicken Burger.
Both burgers were very good.
For the Mushroom Cheese we chose a square bread roll. There was fresh lettuce on the bottom and melted cheese on top of the thick beef patty, topped with chopped mushrooms. The honey mustard didn't really go with it for some reason but that's my fault.
For the BBQ Chicken (grilled), we chose a wholemeal burger bun. The chicken was drenched in thick BBQ sauce and the chicken breast was surprisingly tender and juicy.
Extra lettuce, tomato and Spanish onion rings, as well as pickled gherkins, are placed on the side for those who are selective about their vegetables. Noticeably, there is no sauce in the burger unless otherwise specified. Each table has its own tomato sauce and mustard, which you can squeeze to your heart's content.
The fries were a highlight. The photo is deceptive as the bucket looks deep, but it's a lot shallower than it appears. That said, the fries were magnificent — piping hot and super crunchy, with just the right amount of salt and spices.
On the whole a very pleasurable experience and it's easy to see why 1885 Burger Store is such a popular place. I have had better elsewhere but given the variety and the overall quality of the burgers and the awesome fries, it's a burger joint I will definitely revisit some time in the future.
8 out of 10!

Kuang may refer to:
Kuang (simplified Chinese: 邝; traditional Chinese: 鄺; pinyin: kuàng; Wade–Giles: k'uang) is a Chinese family name originated from central China. Although Kuang is not amongst the 100 most common Chinese surnames, it is common amongst the Chinese diaspora in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, United States, United Kingdom, Canada,Australia, Fiji, Thailand, Perú, Cuba, Burma, Indonesia and Reunion Island.
Since the Han Dynasty, the Kuang family had a prominent role in the Han aristocracy. Several high generals and commissioners were from the Kuang clan, the last recorded Kuang aristocracy was of the Ming Dynasty.
Since the collapse of the Han Dynasty and the start of an era of political unrest, during the Three Kingdoms period in 220 CE, several members of the Kuang clan migrated south in pursuit of a brighter future for their descendants in more fertile and peaceful lands.
Variations of the surname Kwong also remain common. These include different spellings of the English term, and versions from other countries and cultures. In the overseas communities, those with the spelling Kwong trace their origins to families who have immigrated overseas before the 1970s when Mainland China reformed its romanization system, adjusting the surname spelling to Kuàng. Hong Kong residents continue to use the spelling Kwong along with most overseas Chinese communities, especially those that immigrated before the 1970s.
Kuang is a town in the Gombak district of Selangor, Malaysia. Its main importance in older times was the starting of the railway branch to Batu Arang from the mainline of Malayan Railways. Today, Kuang's main industry is cement distribution for the CIMA Company. There is a successful HS Nada cow farm located at Kampung Gombak.
Kuang has one of the largest polo field in Asia. It was an important venue for polo during the Commonwealth Games in 1998. There is also a lake called Tasik Biru (Blue Lake), which is located at Seri Kundang.
The Malaysia Bible Seminary is also located in Kuang.
Kuang's calm and peaceful surrounding attracts some non-locals to build their homes and recreation centres here, near Kampung Sungai Serai.

Yan may refer to:
Yan (燕) was the name of several states in Chinese history:
Yan (Chinese: 燕; pinyin: Yān), also known as the Great Yan (Chinese: 大燕; pinyin: Dà Yān), was a state established in 756 by the Tang Dynasty general An Lushan, after he rebelled against the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in 755. The state was extinguished in 763, with the death of An Lushan's former subordinate, Shi Siming's son, Shi Chaoyi, who was the last person to claim the title as Yan's emperor.
British Sea Power are an indie rock band based in Brighton, East Sussex, England, although three of the band members originally come from Natland (near Kendal), Cumbria, England. The wide-ranging nature of their material has led critics to liken their sound to a variety of groups, from The Cure and Joy Division to the Pixies and Arcade Fire. The band are famed for their live performances, the unusual lyrical content of their songs and the adventurous choice of locations for some of their shows. British Sea Power's members are Jan Scott Wilkinson (vocals, guitar), Martin Noble (guitar), Neil Hamilton Wilkinson (bass guitar, vocals, guitar), Matthew Wood; (drums), Phil Sumner (cornet, keyboards) and Abi Fry (viola).
British Sea Power's Yan and Hamilton are brothers and were school friends with Wood in Kendal. They were in a number of bands together while at school, but after finishing his exams Yan moved to study at the University of Reading, where he met guitarist Noble, who was originally from Bury, Greater Manchester. A few years later, Hamilton and Wood joined them and formed a band.

"Limitations exist only in the mind" Kathleen Phythian.
Depression can be a very lonely place to be with well meaning and some not so well meaning people being quick to tell you to 'pull yourself together' 'find yourself something to keep you busy' 'focus on all the good things in your life' etc. etc. almost as if it is your own fault that you are depressed and if you just 'keep yourself busy' then the depression will go. This type of remark is unhelpful to the sufferer and can make them feel even worse.
When depression engulfs you little things can feel overwhelming and sometimes impossible and unachievable for the sufferer, many find life and daily living almost unbearable. You may get little or no pleasure in anything at all, often people just feel plain hopeless, not wanting to do things or to take part in everyday life and often shutting themselves away in a room by themselves. Some people find they have trouble sleeping and find themselves worrying about just about everything. Some just want to switch off from the world and sleep all the time, preferring to stay in bed rather than take part in family life, often feeling lethargic with low energy levels. Feelings of failure and of letting friends and family down are quite common and sufferers can lose their appetite completely or find themselves eating to excess for some perceived comfort. Depression can curb your sex drive and is common in both men and women. Lack of concentration can be a problem for many too.
When people talk of depression some think it means the person is suicidal and sadly that can be the case but depression begins the other end with mood swings. People find it difficult to be positive and are often only full of doom and gloom and find themselves fearing the worse in every situation.
Depression can cause difficulties throughout your life including in the work place. For many coping with depression while holding down a job can be tough. Every persons experience of depression is different. Sometimes it affects your performance and output at work and many working days may be lost with some having to take sick leave which can sometimes lead to job losses.
Like many chronic medical conditions, depression is treatable and in time you can recover from it completely. A growing number of people are seeking alternative and complimentary therapies when they spot the early warning signals of depression, preferring the talking therapies to a lifetime on prescribed medication.
Hypnotherapy can aid recovery from depression greatly. Kathleen will work with you over a number of weeks to help you to find and release the unresolved issues at the subconscious level that have built up over time and have just become too much to bear. It is in the releasing of the built up and trapped emotion that you begin to feel lighter, as if a burden had been lifted and can begin to gain control back over your life again.
Call Kathleen now in complete confidence 07957904792 or 0151 284 7318 for a no obligation chat about how she may be able to help you.
This is typical of the feedback Kathleen gets.
I had suffered from depression for a number of years and tried various treatments. After seeing numerous 'experts' and a taking variety of tablets I was in a dark hole with no light to be seen. Hypnotherapy was the last resort for me but I was willing to give anything a try. I could no longer cope with the irrational feelings of guilt, deep sadness, illness, self harm and insomnia. The worst thing for me was the confusion, I had no idea why I felt the way I did so it was impossible for me to understand why I was feeling this way.
A friend of mine recommended Kathleen and after discussion with my parents I decided to give hypnotherapy a go.
Kathleen instantly made me feel at ease, we had a chat about how I was feeling and Kathleen explained the process of hypnotherapy. During this first meeting Kathleen put me into a deep relaxation to get me used to the feeling of hypnosis. As she put me 'under' Kathleen told me that I was in control and anytime I was unhappy or uncomfortable I could bring myself out of this relaxed state. Kathleen also gave me strategies for dealing with the panic attacks I was having.
I left after our first meeting feeling much more optimistic!
The sessions that followed involved accessing my subconscious mind, finding the problems that had been locked away for so long and dealing with them. Kathleen explained that a lot of things are locked away because at a younger age they are too difficult to deal with but she enabled me to bring them forward and deal with them. After each session I felt extremely tired but with each problem we dealt with it felt like a weight being lifted from my shoulders.
I had to have quite a few sessions to clear out my subconscious mind but it was worth it. Kathleen began to feel like an old friend and I was very comfortable talking to her.
I used to be scared of crowds, struggled with relationships and felt poorly all the time.
I now work in a school, have a beautiful daughter, I am getting married next year , have had one day off work sick since I returned from maternity leave 18 months ago and have been antidepressant free for the past 10 years.
Kathleen taught me how to control my mind and not to let it control me. She truly is a wonderful person and I cannot thank her enough for helping to get me out of that black hole.
Hypnotherapy is not only a job for Kathleen but a passion and what more of a reward than knowing that you are having such a positive impact on people's lives.

Bloomberg Law's combination of innovative analytics, research tools and practical guidance provides you with everything you need to be a successful litigator.
California's requirement that gun purchasers wait 10 days before obtaining their firearms doesn't violate the Second Amendment as applied to purchasers who already own guns, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held Dec. 14 ( Silvester v. Harris , 9th Cir., No. 14-16840, 12/14/16 ).
The law passes intermediate scrutiny because it's a "reasonable precaution for the purchase of a second or third weapon, as well as for a first purchase," the court said in an opinion by Judge Mary M. Schroeder.
The court's use of intermediate scrutiny is important because that's the analysis that allows states to adopt gun regulations to advance public safety, Deepak Gupta, of Gupta Wessler PLLC, Washington, told Bloomberg BNA Dec. 14.
Had the court applied strict scrutiny, it would have taken public safety out of the conversation, he said.
Gupta filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of Everytown for Gun Safety, which describes itself as a "movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities."
Everytown was founded by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, parent of Bloomberg BNA.
Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas wrote a concurring opinion arguing that California's waiting period law is presumptively valid under District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), as a law "imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms."
Thomas's opinion relied heavily on Everytown's amicus brief, Gupta said. Thomas's opinions in Second Amendment cases are influential and courts other courts may follow his reasoning in the future, he added.
Gupta also noted that in Heller, the U.S. Supreme Court said that the scope of the Second Amendment requires looking at the historical understanding of the right to bear arms. Silvester makes clear that analysis isn't limited to colonial times and includes 20th century history, he said.
The opinion shows that Heller is consistent with common sense gun regulation, Gupta said.
An attorney who represents gun rights advocates didn't respond to Bloomberg BNA's request for comments on the case.
The plaintiffs' class action suit argued that the full 10-day period shouldn't apply to purchasers who are already in the state's Automated Firearms System, which is used by law enforcement to identify individuals who may own guns, already have conceal-carry permits or already possess a state "certificate of eligibility" to own guns.
Applying the two-step process that has evolved for gun control laws under Heller, the Ninth Circuit held that the law was valid.
California's WPL falls within the scope of the Second Amendment, which protects at least the right of self defense in the home, the court said.
But the law is constitutional because it reasonably fits the state's important interest in reducing gun crime, it said.
"California has had some kind of waiting period statute for firearm purchases continuously since 1923," the court said.
Though the amount of time a person has to wait to get their firearm has fluctuated, "the legislative purpose has always been to allow enough time for background checks," and, more recently, to prevent "the impulsive use of handguns," it said.
The WPL provides a cooling-off period especially for handgun sales, which may prevent impulsive acts of gun violence or self harm, the court said. This remains true even if the person already owns guns—they may not have a weapon suitable to the crime they wish to commit and the waiting period can give them time to rethink their plans, it said.
Judge Jacqueline H. Nguyen joined the opinion.
The California Attorney General's office argued for the state. Benbrook Law Group PC argued for the plaintiffs.

I month old!
I decided to try to do a little photo shoot for Alex's 1 month documentation (which is 4 weeks yesterday and 1 month on Friday, if that makes sense, so what do ya use?!).
Well, I think he is just as cute as a button but he didn't really cooperate too well. It always makes me laugh.
Things have been good. I would like to quote from a fellow blogger that I admire- I tend to sport the " sweet perfume of sour milk" on my shirt these days. Mmmm....lovely. I feel like Alex and I change clothes so many times in one day you would think it was a beauty pageant.
I just started walking in the mornings...not by choice. Alex has been up early and wide awake. He forces me outta bed and outside! It is the only time we could really go since it is so gosh darn hot all day! It IS really good for me to get the exercise but I would much rather stay in bed and take one more nap time! :)
I just love to look at him. He is starting to smile more and even when he is awake. I love to watch him sleep like an angel. I love when he is done eating and has milk on his lips. I love his beautiful eyes (that I am determined will be blue! they are a greyish blue right now)! I love that his favorite place is on our chests, cuddled up under our chins. I love to kiss his soft cheeks and see him kinda blink in awe, like "What are you doing to me!?" I love our lil Alexander.

Awards & Reviews
Full Description
Introducing our M4, a high-performance active speaker with a built-in subwoofer and Bluetooth, designed to deliver high fidelity music and high-quality audio from a TV, set top box, tablet and smartphone. This hi-fi soundbar plays both music and movies with equal accomplishment, meaning you'll get high-quality sound no matter what. Real bass is created by its acoustically matched, built-in, high-performance subwoofer. It has also won the "What Hi-Fi?" award three times (2014-2016).
Add extra depth and power to cinematic and musical performances by augmenting the M4 Soundbar with a compact 7060 external subwoofer. It perfectly integrates with the wide sound dispersion from the M4, which not only creates clear, room-filling sound, but also means that every listener will enjoy the same outstanding sound wherever they are in the room. Deep bass extension, 35Hz-200Hz +3dB/-6dB and a powerful output from its 150W class D amplifier belies its compact size.
7060s Active Subwoofer
The 7060 subwoofer, at 150mm wide, is the slimmest standalone subwoofer we have ever created. Its deep bass extension, 35Hz-200Hz +3dB/-6dB and a powerful output from its 150W class D amplifier belies its compact size.
Cable entry is through a mouse-hole underneath, and all but the most important controls are concealed behind a magnetic cover for a clean, uncluttered look.
The M4 uses BMR loudspeaker drive units to deliver outstanding sonic performance and disperse the sound across an exceptionally wide area. So no matter where you sit in a room, you'll still enjoy the full hi-fi or home cinema experience. We provide true audio with no added effects or digital signal processing to degrade the sound.
Easy to Use
The M4 couldn't be easier to use: simply plug it in, connect to the source and it's ready to go! It comes with a small, five-button IR remote control, but the M4 can also be operated by the remotes that come with Sky and Virgin set top boxes. This means fewer remotes to worry about, while still being in complete control. We've also taken care of worrying about turning the M4 off when not in use. After 20 minutes of inactivity, it automatically goes into standby mode.
TV, Movies & Music
The M4 is great for enhancing your normal TV sound, enjoying great music and immersing yourself into whatever movie you're watching. It's also a music lover's best friend as it can connect to your CD player or stream wirelessly with Bluetooth. It brings a new level of enjoyment that you'll wonder how you ever lived without it! M4 for Gaming Whether you play online, in your living room with a friend or simply on your own, you'll almost feel like you're in the game! Our M4 can connect to the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and other similar consoles to deliver an incredible gaming experience.
Connecting the Soundbar
The M4's digital optical and analogue inputs mean it can connect to almost any entertainment source, from TVs and Sky or Virgin boxes to CD, DVD and Blu-Ray players and smartphones, tablets, portable music players, internet radios and computers.
Soundbar Placement
With its versatile design, the M4 can go nearly anywhere. Most people place it on their TV stand, mount it on the wall or place it on a piece of furniture like a bookshelf or table. All are great options as its slim depth allows for it to fit in tighter spaces while wall mounting it gets rid of clutter.
Pairing to Multiple Bluetooth Devices
The M4 is Bluetooth compatible using aptX lossless Bluetooth for audio streaming, which means the wireless connection can sync to almost any Bluetooth-compatible audio device. The M4 can remember up to eight pairings, so when friends or family come over, a guest music player can connect in seconds. Our aptX Bluetooth is V4.0, but is compatible with older devices and will work with most V3.0, V2.0 and even V1.2 devices. Once connected to a specific device, the M4 will automatically stop searching for other devices. To connect to another device, disconnect the currently connected device. Please note: If you pair with a ninth device, the first paired device will be lost.
NFC Connectivity
Near Field Communication (NFC) allows you to link any NFC-enabled device to the M4 by simply touching your device to the 'pairing' point of top of the soundbar. Once connected, you can stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth.

Bulgarian bombshell Sylvie Vartan covers the Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders
1963 classic with a groovy mod beat. Vartan doesn't get as much credit
as her singing peers Petula Clark, Francoise Hardy, or even Briggitte
Bardot, but I've always found her albums to be rather enjoyable. Sylvie
also deserves pioneering props for being the first female French
singer to incorporate choreographed dancing into her performances. Until
she burst onto the scene it was all lounge chairs and long cigarettes.

Best known as a composer for television, Debbie Wiseman has written the scores for series like Dickensian, Father Brown and Wolf Hall and has a string of film credits to her name. A visiting professor of composition at Royal College of Music and composer in residence for Classic FM she has a full schedule of composition work with enormous variety. Alison caught up with her in her North London home.
AK: I'm told you write very early in the morning. Is that so?
DW: I like working early and certainly, for writing, I'm most productive at that time of day. I start writing between 5:30 and 6:30 in the morning, when the sun's coming up, when it's quiet and the phone doesn't ring and I get most of my writing done by 10 am. I've never been able to work very late, partly because I've got all the tunes going round in my head so I can't sleep.
This whole business of writing music to picture is completely dependent on the production schedule, the demands of the score, what the director wants and the producer needs and the main thing you have to do is to be very flexible and be able to deliver suitable music, on time, which helps tell the story. Sometimes I see a script first: with Wolf Hall, I saw a complete adaptation of the whole series before I started anything. I had a full and lengthy discussion with the director, Peter Kosminsky, and wrote Cromwell and Anne's themes before he'd shot a frame: Peter likes to listen to the music on the set and was able to do so. But in other cases, it's not quite so organised. When there's time, the director will come over to me. They will sit exactly where you're sitting now. I will be at the piano and on that screen there's the film and I run them the score, mocked up with sampled instruments. We discuss it and I'll make changes. It's a proper collaboration.
Wilde was very different: everything had been completely shot before I was brought in. There were problems in post production and I had just 3½ weeks to write 75 minutes of music. I delivered a completely written and edited score with my own orchestration – on time – and we went to Abbey Road Studios with an 80 piece orchestra to record it. The adrenaline keeps you going. You collapse afterwards. But I find a deadline focuses me.
I particularly noticed and enjoyed your music in Father Brown, whose latest series was recently aired on TV. Is there a lot of music scored in each episode?
Every episode is scored individually, with themes for Father Brown and all the supporting characters. Each episode is completely scored to picture and there's a new murder mystery and new characters coming into each episode. There's always something fresh and that's what I love about it so much, that you never get bored of it. I've scored 60 episodes now over the first five series. And this month I'll receive another 10 episodes to score as they're just starting to shoot series 6.
How important is the music to the film?
Music is a very powerful tool in a movie or a production. Hardly anyone ever sees a film without music, but I do all the time so I know the power it has over the image. If the music is telling you fear or threat or danger, even if the scene is very, very innocent, the audience will believe the music because it goes right to the heart. And that's why directors are very careful when they choose a composer because it can make or break a film. If the music's wrong, if you're being over-sentimental or giving the audience the wrong message, it's very damaging for a movie. It has to feel completely seamless with the picture, and as a film composer, you have to learn the skill of stepping back, of not having an ego in order to make the film as good as it can be.
What do you want to achieve from your music?
I want my scores to have something in them that is memorable. It doesn't have to have a big tune – not every film demands that – but it has to have something memorable so when you come away from the film or television show, you feel that you have heard something that's fresh, which is original. Father Brown has a theme that after a few episodes, if you're away from the telly and you hear the tune, you will recognise. It's part of the brand of the film or the show.
I write at the piano but no, I don't always put piano in the score. Wolf Hall didn't have any piano in it as the piano wasn't invented in the time of Cromwell. There was harpsichord music and Tudor instruments. Although I sketch my ideas at the piano, it doesn't always end up in the score.
I've been told that you can sit at a piano and take requests from the audience and can improvise to a set theme. Is that something you still enjoy?
Yes, I've always been happy to improvise. When I went to Trinity College as a junior on a Saturday, there was a particular composition teacher, Philip Coleman, whose idea it was to get the kids to improvise, not only at the piano but to sing too. As tiny little kids, we would sit in a little circle and one kid would start a tune and the next one would be told to follow on the melody and so on until we got all the way round the circle. It was such a simple idea to show how a melody is formed but it is very clever. It's just a series of notes in a particular formation. So I was always very comfortable, singing a tune, thinking about melody in that way and improvising.
Now I'm a visiting professor at the RCM on their Composition for Screen course and when I go in, I get the students to sit at the piano and I give them a scenario. It might be a woman and a man punting down the river on a lovely sunny afternoon or it might be a thunderstorm, and I ask them to improvise. They are usually completely terrified the first time. They can't think of anything and sit at the piano completely frozen. But after a few goes at improvisation, when they realise it doesn't matter what they play as long as they create some kind of instant, atmospheric response, they're not frightened any more and most of them can do it. You don't need to be a great pianist to improvise. You just need to have an idea.
Do you compose for the concert hall too?
Yes, I do a lot of composition in the concert hall too. In my capacity as Classic FM's composer in residence, I premiered a 6 minute concert piece on Tuesday for Viking Cruises (Classic FM's sponsor) as their new signature music – it was a very different commission – but for me, the process is the same. I want the music to tell a story and this one was about a traveller who went on an adventure. Music is a kind of journey and you have to tell a story and allow the listener to come on board.
It is a different skill when you're writing for film because you have to take into consideration all sorts of other things. There's dialogue and special effects, whereas when you're writing for a concert hall you have none of that: there is just your music and the audience have paid to listen to it. When you go to a film or sit at home watching TV, the music is part of a whole. So it is a very different experience, but for me music is music and whatever you are writing it for, it has to serve its purpose and to be useful. There's no point sitting at the piano for hours on end and not to know if the music is ever going to get performed – I wouldn't be able to get inspired to do that. I want it to give enjoyment, to serve a purpose which is a great reward in itself for a composer.
What is the view of conservatoires towards their students writing music for film, game or TV?
Nowadays all the conservatoires offer courses in film composition and they're all open to the idea that music written for film or media is a very valuable skill for a composer to have. I think most composers and composition professors that I've met feel much more open minded about music nowadays and realise there are plenty of avenues for composers to express themselves, not only the concert hall. You can express yourself within a film score just as well as you express yourself in other areas. It's just a slightly different way of working.
When I studied at Guildhall I was very fortunate with my composition teacher, Buxton Orr, because he had written film scores himself and saw no divide between writing for the concert hall and writing for film. I would show him my compositions and some of my music was quite filmic. He would encourage me to be original but wouldn't force me to write in a particular style. And my natural tendency was to write something that was melodic, whereas his was to write something slightly more avant-garde, more crunchy music. He would just encourage me to find my own voice, which I think is very important as a composer. And that shouldn't mean having to fit in with any particular rules. There are no rules.
When do you think those attitudes changed?
I think those attitudes did exist when I was studying about 20-25 years ago. There was a snobbery about it and the feeling that composers should only write for the concert hall and should only be writing avant-garde contemporary music, because otherwise they weren't proper composers. There was a slight air of cautiousness about this whole media thing but I think things have changed dramatically now and you would now be hard pressed to find a professor of music who would be quite so adamant about it. It's taken long enough, but finally those barriers have completely eased off.
What do you think of the new concert format of stripping a film score of the music and screening the film alongside the score played live?
Brilliant! People love hearing live music so for them to hear the music from one of their favourite films played live and be able to watch the film at the same time, what a fantastic way to be able to experience it! The benefit of a live performance lets them relive the whole film experience. It's no wonder they're really popular.
It's funny: when I was studying, there were other female composers on the course, lots of brass players and percussionists – instruments you don't commonly associate with women, and it was never made a thing of. we just got on with our job. It was only when I left college, started working in the industry and started trying to build up credits, when people would say to me "it's really unusual that you're a female composer – there aren't very many", that I started to notice it. But I can honestly say that working with musicians and directors, it hasn't made any difference to me at all. Now I work with more female directors than ever before, I notice there are many more women in production, in the media, being successful, in positions of power, commissioning editors, in orchestras. I also conduct all my own music, and even that is less of an unusual thing now for a woman, although numbers of female conductors are still very low. But the more young women, aspiring conductors or composers, see other women doing it, the easier it becomes for them to aspire to do it themselves. There's no physical reason you can't do it: it's a confidence thing. As far as I'm concerned, the more women composers the better, the more women on the podium the better and then eventually I hope – if we're having the same conversation in 20 years time – it may not even be an issue, I think people will just accept it. What's the big deal?
Do you think it could be the difference in the way boys and girls are brought up which causes this lack of confidence in girls?
It's hard to know if it's the upbringing or if it's ingrained in our psyche as women to be gentle and caring and nurturing, which is all part of what we are, but at the same time there's no reason we can't take control. It's difficult, but taking control doesn't mean you have to do it in a masculine way. I don't try to be like a man. I just want the music can be as good as it can be. And the great thing is that musicians don't have any problem with it at all and neither do the audiences actually. It's just seeing more people do it and encouraging more young women who want a career to not feel restrained or restricted in any way.
What do you have coming up next?
I'm working with Peter Kosminsky on a four-part drama, there are ten new episodes of Father Brown to score, I'm writing the music for a play at the Chichester Festival, Sweet Bird of Youth by Tennessee Williams, and I also have a couple of new commissions for Classic FM, one a guitar piece for Craig Ogden and the other a choral piece. And I've just completed the score for a film called Edie, starring Sheila Hancock, which is due out in the autumn. Sheila is absolutely brilliant. It's a never too late story, about a woman who has always wanted to climb a mountain in Scotland, how she managed to make this journey, to fulfil this ambition. Sheila filmed it aged 83 and she actually did it [climbed the mountain]. Sheila's a phenomenal woman.

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
-Joseph Campbell
When I was in eighth grade, pain came in layers. On the bottom was my experience with
cancer, the trauma it caused, the existential dread that I could never find an answer for; then there
was my parents divorce, which felt like it would never end; on the top was my failing schoolwork, my
inability to focus, and the feeling of being hated by my teachers. Each layer weighed down the
others, making the others even harder to carry. If I kept this up, I would've crumbled. Luckily, I found
At Fusion, I finally felt like I mattered. My teachers were patient and kind, giving me the
attention I sorely needed. For the first time, I wasn't focusing on what I was doing wrong, but the
things I did right. I wasn't just taking notes, I was learning. My lead teacher, mentor, and overall
favorite person Alaine helped me face my trauma and accept the things I couldn't control, and
encouraged me to continue with my writing. I really don't know who I'd be without her.
During my time at Fusion, I've spoken at Columbia University, and had my poetry published
in a book about overcoming childhood trauma. I've become a speechwriter for the Leukemia
Lymphoma Society, when before I couldn't even say the word "cancer" out loud. This year I was
nominated for the LLS Student of the Year award, and won the LLS Mission Focus Award, Without
Fusion, I would never have done any of this.
As my high school years end, my college years begin. I've been accepted to Bard College,
and plan to further pursue my love of writing there. I don't know what the future holds after that, but I
know that no matter what happens, I can handle it. After all I've conquered, I know nothing can stop

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - Your husband is having a heart attack. Your child has stopped bleeding. You've cut yourself and are bleeding severely.
Would you be able to relay your full street address to the 911 operator?
In the shock of an emergency situation, some people can't remember their name, let alone their complete address, said Mary Kackley, director of 911 in Berkeley County.
That won't cause a delay in getting help to those people once Berkeley County gets a new computer-aided dispatch and computerized mapping system for 911 calls, Kackley said.
But before it can put such a system in place, the county needs to finish the major task of converting every address in the county to an orderly system with unique street names and methodical numbering, she said.

A substantial one.
A raise large enough for us to be able to afford to live in Orange County.
On top of that, Bryan is finally finishing up at Valley and ready to transfer to a UC or CSU and he needs to decide what his major is going to be.
There are so many grown up questions to answer now...
Where will Bryan go to school?
What BS will Bryan choose?
Environmental Biology or Environmental Engineering?
What school are the boys going to go to?
If we don't move down south, how long can I ride the metro into Orange County every week without going insane?
Do we want to stay here for a couple of more years and then make the kids change schools again?
Can we move away from our fantastic support system and survive?
Most of my thoughts are now consumed with all of these questions and different scenarios that I run in a constant loop and I am terrified of making the wrong decision.
Orange County or not to Orange County? That is the question.
