"I absolutely love it here, to be honest" says new Warriors signing Merrick
Worcester Warriors: George Merrick on early life as a Warriors player
By Marcello Cossali-Francis @Mcossalifrancis Reporter
Northampton Saints v Worcester Warriors 131120
NEW Worcester Warriors lock George Merrick explains how he "couldn't say no" to the chance of playing at Worcester after being left bottom of the pile in France.
Merrick spent the 2019/20 season at Clermont Auvergne in the French Top 14 league and managed 11 appearances before circumstances went against him.
"It was really good first six or seven months, I got regular game time," he said.
"The rugby, the top 14, was good experience for me, they are big guys that didn't want to play at too much pace which suited me and the lifestyle, was very laid back, very chilled, very French.
"The French language came on a little bit but not enough, I could get myself a beer and that's about it!"
"Then some things went against me.
"Sébastien Vahaamahina announced out of nowhere he was retiring from international rugby after the Rugby World Cup which was bad for me because when he was away with France it was a good opportunity for me to play.
"They also brought in the new rule where you could only play so many foreigners and unfortunately Clermont have a whole backlog of international Kiwis and Samoans who, to be fair to them, they're so good they couldn't kick them out the team.
"So for me it was going from fringe player, starting sometimes to bottom of the pecking order to be honest."
The 28-year old was not satisfied with the lack of game time and recalls the moment Alan Solomons called him and Merrick said it was an opportunity too good to turn down.
"They (Clermont) were nice about it," he added.
"We came to an agreement where I said to them that I didn't want to sit around and not play because I was at the peak of my career, 28 and quite a lot of experience, I've got over 100 caps for Quins
"And then Solly called me up last minute and said, look, would you be interested in coming, and with a club like Worcester I couldn't say no to that.
"It's somewhere new for me but it's still home isn't it."
Despite the frustrating start to the season, where Warriors have won just one of their three opening games, Merrick says he has settled quickly.
"I love it," he said.
"I've been here six weeks now, it's a really good set-up, really good boys here as well.
"Shame the results haven't gone our way but we're sat here knowing what we have to do to rectify that.
"I think it'll be good going to a different tournament playing against a fresh team this week.
"Obviously I have played against Pau (Warriors opponents this weekend) and some of the boys in the group have also so that should play into our hands slightly.
"But in terms of settling in here, I absolutely love it to be honest, the coaches and the boys, all great."

Bleeding – perimenopausal, postmenopausal and breakthrough bleeding on MHT/HRT
A change in bleeding pattern is common during perimenopause.
Heavy bleeding, prolonged bleeding, and any bleeding more than 12 months after the last menstrual period need investigation.
Endometrial ultrasound is the first investigation of choice, and the findings determine the need for tissue sampling and or hysteroscopy.
Medical management, after excluding a localised or neoplastic lesion, involves modification of the MHT dose or regimen.
Bleeding – perimenopausal, postmenopausal and breakthrough bleeding on MHT/HRT398.55 KB
Perimenopausal bleeding
In the menopausal transition, hormonal fluxes may be chaotic with vaginal bleeding being both ovulatory or non-ovulatory, light or heavy, reasonably regular or entirely irregular (1). Especially in women considering menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), also known as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), abnormal bleeding should be investigated before prescribing. Heavy menstrual bleeding, rather than irregular bleeding itself is a hallmark of abnormal build- up of endometrium. Heavy bleeding after a prolonged interval without bleeding, or prolonged bleeding of any amount should be investigated. A lower investigative threshold should apply for high-risk women e.g. with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity or diabetes.
Postmenopausal bleeding in the woman not taking MHT
In the postmenopausal woman, more than 12 months past the last natural menstrual period (LMP), who is not taking MHT, any vaginal bleeding needs investigation to elucidate the cause and exclude a sinister aetiology.
Bleeding in a woman taking MHT
Bleeding on cyclical MHT
In the woman who is taking cyclical MHT, a withdrawal bleed is expected and the patient should be counselled to expect it. It should come toward the end of or after the progestogen containing phase of the cyclical regimen. Bleeding which is unpredictable, occurring not at the expected time, or excessively heavy should be investigated.
Bleeding on continuous combined MHT
Continuous combined MHT (CCMHT) contains oestrogen and progestogen throughout the month and is designed to eliminate vaginal bleeding. Continuous exposure to progestogen downgrades oestrogen receptors in the endometrium whilst treating menopausal symptoms with oestrogen. In the postmenopausal woman taking CCMHT, the significance of breakthrough bleeding depends upon the recency of her LMP and on how long she has been taking CCMHT. A similar diagnostic and therapeutic approach applies to tibolone.
Within 12 months of the last menstrual period
Women who are within 12 months of the last natural menstrual period often do not achieve amenorrhoea with CCMHT, presumably because some residual endogenously oestrogen-stimulated endometrium is present. Unpredictable breakthrough bleeding is common in this situation and does not need investigation. To avoid this, it is recommended that cyclical MHT be used for the first 12 months at least following the LMP.
After 12 months since the LMP and within six months of the institution of CCMHT
In women who are more than 12 months post the LMP, breakthrough bleeding is often common within the first six months of the institution of CCMHT and does not necessarily need investigation unless the bleeding is unusually heavy.
After 12 months since the LMP and after six months of CCMHT
Bleeding should be investigated if it occurs after six months use of CCMHT or tibolone, or starts after amenorrhoea has been established on this regimen. Why does breakthrough bleeding occur in a regimen designed to achieve amenorrhoea? Amenorrhoea in this setting depends upon the balance between the oestrogenic effect and progestogenic effect of the MHT components on the endometrium. Inadequate progestogenic effect will result in endometrial proliferation and possibly hyperplasia and bleeding. It may, like unopposed oestrogen therapy, lead to endometrial cancer. However, more commonly in women taking pharmaceutical preparations of CCMHT, excessive progestogenic effect may produce bleeding from an atrophic endometrium.
Investigation of postmenopausal bleeding (PMB)
The primary goal in investigation is to exclude malignancy, and secondarily to elucidate a treatable non-malignant cause (2). In particular, patients with diabetes, obesity, history of PCOS, or a family history of endometrial cancer are at greater risk of malignancy (3). Patients taking non-conventional MHT, such as troches and transdermal progestogen are at risk of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer (4) (See AMS Information Sheet Bioidentical custom compounded hormone therapy).
A detailed history should be taken. When does the bleeding occur? Is it post-coital? What medications is the patient taking? Is the patient taking tamoxifen? Is the patient taking so-called "bioidentical" hormones? Has the patient missed MHT doses? When was the last Pap smear?
Physical examination should include inspection of the vulva, vagina and the cervix for visual evidence of lesions or bleeding, taking note of any signs of atrophy. Bleeding from the perineum, urethra and anus is also a possibility. A Pap smear should be done.
Endometrial ultrasound
Endometrial ultrasound is the first investigation of choice. This should be done by an experienced specialist gynaecological ultrasonographer and with transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). In women taking cyclical MHT, it should be done immediately after the withdrawal bleed (5). The ultrasound should be able to identify any localised uterine lesion which may contribute to bleeding – endometrial polyp, submucosal fibroid, hyperplasia or cancer. The significance of PMB for the risk of malignancy differs with use of MHT and endometrial thickness on TVUS. What investigations are done next will depend very much upon the ultrasound findings, so the experience of the ultrasonographer is critical. After excluding localised lesions, the following algorithm is useful (adapted from Foy et al.) (6). Note that this algorithm does not apply to women taking tamoxifen.
All women with PMB (not on tamoxifen)
MHT use
Current or recent cyclical MHT
Never OR not in last 12m OR on CCMHT
Risk of cancer
1-1.5%
< 5mm
>5mm
Probability of cancer
>20-22%
Tamoxifen therapy
Tamoxifen therapy is associated with stimulation of the endometrium and an increased risk of endometrial cancer (7). Tamoxifen therapy invariably produces a thickened endometrium which is not always indicative of neoplasia. Therefore TVUS is not useful for the investigation of PMB in a woman on tamoxifen therapy and examination of the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy is recommended (2).
Histological assessment
A patient with PMB with endometrial thickness outside the parameters listed above or with a localised lesion seen on ultrasound should be referred for tissue sampling. Blind tissue sampling such as Pipelle or D&C may be sufficient for pathology that affects the entire endometrial surface, but it is inadequate for detecting localized lesions such as endometrial polyps, which may be malignant (2). Hysteroscopy is superior to endometrial biopsy and ultrasonography for the identification of these structural lesions and is recommended.
When a localised or neoplastic lesion is found, the management is surgical. However, when the findings are benign and the patient is taking MHT some modification of the MHT dose or regimen is required. Although there is an abundance of literature about the incidence of bleeding on MHT and the histological findings, unfortunately, the literature is lacking in data from randomised clinical trials of therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the following recommendations are based on clinical practice advice from the literature and based on the patterns of histology seen in women with breakthrough bleeding (8-11). They are made here with the proviso that continued bleeding should prompt re-investigation, as above.
a) Cyclical MHT with unpredictable bleeding and negative histological screen for pathology
This may respond to a change in the progestin component of the MHT either by changing dose or progestin type or mode of delivery e.g. intrauterine progestin.
b) CCMHT with breakthrough bleeding, endometrium >4mm and negative histology
If less than 12 months post LMP, change to cyclical MHT or intrauterine progestin. If more than 12 months post LMP, change oestrogen/progestin balance by reducing oestrogen or changing progestin dose, type or delivery.
c) CCMHT with breakthrough bleeding, endometrium <4mm
This is the most difficult scenario to manage, especially in a patient who wants to have no withdrawal bleeding. The TVUS suggests adequate, if not excessive, progestogenic effect, especially if tissue sampling demonstrates an atrophic sample. Increasing the dose or changing the progestogen formulation does not always address the underlying problem. Continuous progestogen effect on the endometrium exposes superficial dilated blood vessels which predispose to bleeding (12). The same may occur with prolonged tibolone therapy. A change back to cyclical MHT, at least for a while, is recommended or an increase in the oestrogen dose may be effective.
Surgical management is appropriate for neoplastic and local lesions causing bleeding. However, women who have heavy or unmanageable breakthrough bleeding in the absence of pathology, may prefer to have a hysterectomy, after which they need take only oestrogen as MHT. The alternative is endometrial ablation. This may resolve the PMB but it should be noted that progestogen is still necessary since there will be residual endometrium left. Moreover, the above investigations – TVUS, hysteroscopy, endometrial sampling - will be difficult if there is subsequent PMB (13).

See The Scope of the BMLT by Visiting This Page.
Follow this link to go to a page that explains the illustration above.
"BMLT" stands for "Basic Meeting List Toolbox." It is a Web-based platform that was designed to encourage and assist NA Service bodies in providing a powerful, easily-maintained NA meeting list.
The BMLT is designed specifically for NA Service bodies, but has been deployed for other fellowships. It has also been used to track Helpline and Sponsorship volunteers. The BMLT is easy to customize, so it's not just for NA meetings.
If you integrate the BMLT with your Web site, you can have an extremely usable, attractive and accurate meeting search or list. You can also have displays that are designed specifically for mobile devices. We even have iPhone/iPad apps, designed to be used with the BMLT.
The BMLT was designed with usability, stability, quality, security and continuity in mind. It was designed to be easy to install, easy to use, easy to maintain, and easy to transfer from one administrator to another.
That last item is critical. There are quite a few "bespoke" meeting search systems out there; many are extremely well-done, and may even give a better experience than the BMLT. However, these systems almost never remain intact after the handoff from one Webservant to another. The BMLT is designed as a standard platform. It is well-documented, well-supported and well-understood. If you use the BMLT for your meeting search, then you can greatly reduce the "knowledge transfer" when people change out of/into roles that administer it.
Additionally, the BMLT was designed with multiple data mining and export options, so it is extremely easy to synchronize your meeting search with NAWS, or other Service bodies, and there are a vast number of ways in which it can be deployed. You don't have to use the standard format. There are many variations, from simple inline tables (the classic "table of meetings"), to highly interactive searches.
The BMLT is comprised of super high-quality code, originally done by a professional software engineer, and is 100% free and open source. It can never be hijacked or taken away. It belongs to NA.
The Principal Engineer working on the BMLT got clean at the age of 18, in 1980, and has no intention of going anywhere, so the BMLT is supported by a pretty stable family.
The BMLT was first released in alpha version in May, 2009, and was officially released in June of 2009. This means that it is a highly stable, mature project with a long, well-established provenance.
Follow this link to see most of the source code repositories.
Follow this link to see a complete changelist of every BMLT Root Server release since May, 2009.
When we say that the BMLT is handled as a "full-fat" professional-grade project, we're not kidding.
The BMLT is a PHP program, that uses the MySQL database. PHP is an extremely common Web programming language that is available virtually everywhere, and is supported by the cheapest Web hosting companies. The BMLT is meant to be used by as many people as possible, and was created with this in mind.
The BMLT is designed to be extremely easy to install, and even easier to administer. Far more work has been put into the "back end" of the system than the front. Easy administration is very important.
The BMLT is what is referred to as a "client/server" system. There is a central "server," that holds the meetings, and where the administrators edit and take care of their meetings, and multiple "clients," where the meeting list/search is displayed for Web site (and mobile device) users.
A common pattern is that the "server" is run by a Regional Service body, with all of the Area Services keeping their meeting lists in the central server.
With this in mind, you should determine whether or not you want to run a BMLT "client" or a BMLT "server" (we call the BMLT "server" the "Root Server").
If you are a Group or an Area Service, then you should probably find out if your Region already has a BMLT root server established. If they do, then your job is extremely easy. Simply get whatever client is best suited for your site, point it at the Regional root server, and there you go. You don't need to run MySQL, and the PHP requirements for satellites are a bit more relaxed than for the Root Server.
If your Region does not have a root server set up, you may want to consider asking them to set one up. It may be a good idea to reach out to neighboring Area Services, and work together on a shared root server (either through your Region, or even multiple Regions). The wider the area covered by a root server, the more useful and powerful the BMLT installation will be.
Most NA Web sites being constructed these days, use what is called a "CMS," which stands for "Content Management System." There are three major CMS systems that represent the vast majority of CMS sites. These are WordPress (the CMS that runs this site), Drupal and Joomla. If your site is based on Drupal or WordPress, then it is extremely easy to add a BMLT client, as we have plugins for these systems that are a breeze to install and manage (PLEASE NOTE: Joomla is no longer supported; and when we did support it, our plugin only covered Joomla 1.5 – 2.6).
It is possible to add a BMLT client into a non-CMS site. It takes a bit of extra coding, but hardly any. There are also ways to get highly customized displays of BMLT data for your site (for example, a small ASC site may not want an interactive search, but would rather have a small table of meetings. This can easily be done with the BMLT).

The history of
The year was 1999. Swing bands such as "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy," "Cherry Poppin' Daddies," and various other "Daddy" bands were leading a short-lived resurgence in swing music throughout the country. Meanwhile, here in Buffalo an eight-piece band was forming that would take the Buffalo music scene by storm. JJ Swing was born.
It began in the back of a bus. Jim Runfola, while touring with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, began writing horn charts from groups such as Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Blues Brothers, and Chicago with the help of a Casio keyboard and a Walkman. He knew these tunes would form the basis for a great horn band. Charts in hand, he now had to find the right guys to pull it off. His first choice for a front man was Joe Mahfoud. Jim had worked with Joe previously and knew his voice and guitar were the right combination to make the project fly.
First promotional picture of Jim Runfola and Joe Mahfoud for JJ Swing, circa 1999.
Joe brought in bass player Jerry Sampson and drummer Scott Colandra to form the rhythm section. Jim went about finding horn players. Jim played alto sax, Harry Fackelman and Al Monte were brought in on baritone and tenor to fill out the sax section. While many fine players were brought in to fill the trumpet and trombone parts, the right mix was elusive. Finally in late July, Rick Keller was brought in on trumpet and Jeff Marsha on trombone and the band was complete.
Originally, the band specialized in the swing styles made popular by national acts. JJ Swing was formed around a powerful five-piece horn section backed by a tight three-piece rhythm section. On stage, they performed wearing suits and lids in the style of the swing era.
JJ Swing played a variety of venues that first year, including the Taste of Buffalo and Erie County Fair, as well as local bars. The concept at the time was that it would be a summer event group, so when September came, the band broke for the season. The final mix of band members that summer were: Joe Mahfoud (guitar and lead vocals), Scott Colandra (drums), Jerry Sampson (bass), Rick Keller (trumpet), Jeff Marsha (trombone), Jim Runfola (alto sax), Harry Fackelman (bari sax), and Al Monte (tenor sax).
The group came back the following year. Scott Colandra had left the band and Jim Linsner took over the drumming duties. Al Monte left the group as well. He was not replaced, and JJ Swing was now a seven-piece group.

The band again found success in local events, playing for the AAA Centennial celebration, the Taste of Buffalo, the Erie County Fair, as well as traveling to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. As the summer of 2000 drew to a close, the group decided to continue through the fall and winter rather than wait until the following summer to play again.
Over the next couple of years, JJ Swing evolved away from the swing genre. They added material from a number of diverse artists such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Van Morrison, and Chicago. Nationally, the swing movement was in decline, but JJ Swing's diversity allowed them to remain viable. The band moved away from the swing style visually as well, adopting a "snappy casual" dress style on stage.
Late in the winter of 2001, tenor sax and arranger Jim Runfola decided to take a leave of absence from the band to tour with a national act. Aaron Broome was brought in to assume the tenor sax duties. Jim continued to contribute horn arrangements to the group, and JJ Swing's momentum never faltered.
In the summer of 2002, JJ Swing added keyboards to the group as Pat Georger joined the band. This allowed them to add even more

took over for Jim Runfola.
diverse material, and Jim Runfola arrangements of songs by Steely Dan and Earth, Wind, & Fire were added to their repertoire.
As the fall of '02 rolled along, Jim returned to JJ Swing full time. The band also established the goal of becoming the Buffalo area representative in the International Blues Challenge held in Memphis, Tennessee.
They competed and won the local competition sponsored by the Blues Society of WNY. In January of 2003, JJ Swing performed in The International Blues Festival on Beale St. in Memphis for two nights.
During the trip home, the future of the band was discussed, and the conclusion was reached that the word "Swing" had to be dropped for marketing purposes as well as to reflect the new direction the band had taken. News of another possible opportunity was also discussed on the 15 hour drive – that of being the on stage band for Artpark's production of the musical "Swing."
When the opportunity to play the Artpark show was realized, the name change for the band was put off until the completion of the shows run. JJ Swing played that show in August 2003. Besides playing the music, the band was an onstage character, interacting with the cast members on stage. This was highlighted by Jeff's performance in "Cry Me a River," a strolling trombone – vocalist duet. (Also known as "The Greatest Moment in Trombone History!")
JJ Swing performs onstage in "Swing" at Artpark in August 2003.
After the success of Swing, the band began their fall season performing under their new name – "Groove Medicine." While some new material was added to enhance the "Groove" nature of the band, it was primarily the same band with a new name. As might be expected, the new name was a hard sell to those who followed the group.
Not long into the fall season, Joe Mahfoud announced his intention to leave the group by the end of the year. His final

performance with the band was at Evolution Nightclub in December 2003. The search was on for a new voice to lead the group into the future.
Groove Medicine went on hiatus until a new voice could be found and worked in. The decision was also made to "return to their roots" by going back to the name JJ Swing as well as moving the sound of the band back to a horn-oriented sound rather than the guitar emphasis that had been emerging.
The search for a new lead vocal/guitar was extensive. The band sifted through hundreds of audition tapes, and were personally accosted by hopefuls in shopping malls, beaches, restaurant drive thru's, massage parlors, Betty Ford clinics, etc.
Finally, one night at a local bar well after closing, they found, huddled semi-conscious in a corner, a man. That man was playing air guitar and slurring the words to dozens of hit songs, all combined into one monster piece of alcohol-induced musical cacophony. That man was Joe Mombrea. The search was over. The band had their newest, bestest buddy and lead singer.

The work to integrate Joe into the band began shortly after he sobered up. It was January 2004, and there was a date booked in February at Alternative Brews. It was close, but Joe wasn't quite ready to be introduced as JJ Swing's new voice. They began their new era with guest singer/guitar player Doug Yeomans. The band rocked Alternative Brews. Many of the folks who normally came out to see the group were back and commented that there seemed to be a renewal of spirit within the band.
Joe Mombrea was formally introduced as JJ Swing's lead singer and guitar player in March 2004. With the time off, the band had a bit of work to get back to their previous performance schedule, but in due time they were working at their normal pace. That pace proved to be taxing to keyboardist Pat Georger, who is also the president of Hamburg Music Center. To ease the schedule burden on Pat, the band brought in Mike Rieman, keyboard extraordinaire. Mike and Pat share the performance duties and each one gives the band a different sound, adding to the diversity and appeal of the group.
"Make Me Smile" was released by JJ Swing in early 2005. The cover art is childhood photos of the band members. The adult pictures of the guys on the back show them in the same order as on thefront.
JJ Swing had been in existence since 1999. Even though bootleg recordings of various performances have surfaced from time to time, there had never been a real attempt to produce a publicly available recording of the band. That changed in November 2004 when they entered the recording studio to create "Make Me Smile." The CD was released in January 2005, and went manganese in the first week. To date, the CD has earned the band thousands of cents as sales have reached the tungsten level.
Presently, the band's success has grown and they are playing more frequently now than at any time in the past. One of the secrets to the ability of an eight piece band to maintain such a busy schedule lies in the availability of highly talented substitutes to take the place of a regular member when schedules conflict. JJ Swing owes no small measure of thanks to those who have filled in for missing members of the band.

Wellington, FL – February 15, 2013 – As Italian dressage star Silvia Rizzo wraps up her impressive South Florida debut, the combination of high-level competitive opportunities and a friendly, supportive atmosphere at shows has her already looking forward to next year.
The proximity to the beach doesn't hurt either, and Rizzo has been taking in the Florida attractions between shows and training sessions on the striking Oldenburg stallion Donnerbube 2. The balance of hard work and a little relaxation seems to be working, as Rizzo and "Bubi" have put in some of their best performances to date.
"I've broken three of my personal records here: Grand Prix score in a 5*, Grand Prix Special score in a 5*, and Kür score in a World Cup event," Rizzo said.
"Bubi loves it here," she added, explaining that he enjoys the quiet atmosphere where he is stalled at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center in Palm Beach County. Along with Rizzo, Bubi has become a fan favorite and regularly poses for photos with his admirers.
Rizzo has put together a series of steadily improving performances in Grand Prix competition. Most recently, she and Bubi took seventh in the Grand Prix on a sweltering hot day at the Wellington Classic Dressage Spring Challenge CDI3* (Feb. 8-10), and then put all the pieces together for a standout third-place effort in the Grand Prix Freestyle. Other season highlights include top scores and a fifth place finish in the Grand Prix Freestyle at the World Dressage Masters CDI5* Palm Beach, along with seventh place finishes at the Wellington Dressage CDI-W and Gold Coast Opener CDI-W.
Rizzo's success in Florida has helped her move up the Reem Acra FEI World Cup Dressage Standings. Her 23 points place her 15th in the competitive Western European League.
Michele Betti, Rizzo's partner and the former chef d'equipe for the Italian eventing team, noted that the number and proximity of competitions in South Florida make it an appealing destination for European competitors, who often have to travel long distances between competitions.
Spectators charmed by Rizzo's bubbly personality, as well as those who haven't yet seen the fashionable blonde in action, will be happy to hear that she plans to set up shop in South Florida for several months next year. She will bring several horses from Hof Marabunta, her base in Germany, to train and compete. Rizzo and Betti, an accomplished eventing and show jumping trainer, both look forward to taking on American students, who will benefit from the pair's expertise and international experience.

Hansen Named Interim President and CEO of Howard Memorial Hospital
May 12, 2011 General
Contact: Darcy De Leon
Director, Marketing & HR
(707)-456-3101 DeLeonD3@ah.org
- Terrence A. Hansen has been appointed interim president and CEO of Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital (HMH), according to Scott Reiner, senior vice president of Adventist Health and chairman of the HMH board. Hansen will assume his new position June 1.
"We are pleased that Terry has agreed to serve in this interim role," stated Reiner. "I am confident that his management skills and vast health care experience - especially in small, rural hospitals - will benefit HMH and its community until a permanent CEO is found."
Hansen is no stranger to the hospital or the Howard Foundation: last year, he served as a consultant on the development of a hospital-based wellness center. In addition, Hansen has capably filled short- term interim CEO roles for other Adventist Health hospitals in California.
Prior to his retirement in November 2004, Hansen was the president and CEO of Paradise Valley Hospital in National City, California. He also has served as executive vice president and COO for Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC), a 797-bed tertiary care academic medical facility in Loma Linda, Calif. Prior to joining LLUMC, he was president of Hospital Governance, Inc., a health care consulting firm that specialized in turnaround projects. Hansen also has served in various executive capacities at St. Helena Hospital Napa Valley.
According to Reiner, an executive search has been underway to find a permanent replacement for Kevin Erich, HMH's president and CEO, who is transitioning to the same duties at Feather River Hospital in Paradise, Calif. later this month.

Paid search might be one of the greatest bottom funnel advertising tactics in the history of marketing.
After all, every bit of advertising drives interest and awareness with the potential to lead to a query on a search engine that paid search can then convert. Like a net at the bottom of your entire media portfolio, search engine marketing is ready 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year to capture demand and route it to your best landing pages.
No one can argue that paid search works great at the bottom of the funnel, but what about at the top and middle? Historically, upper funnel terms have higher CPCs and lower conversion rates, so sometimes a search marketer might feel justified in deprioritizing those terms and focusing on bottom terms where the metrics look better.
But, focusing on the bottom funnel isn't aligned to the way people search. Consumers use search engines across the funnel during their purchase journey. I know that I do.
According to research from Forrester Consulting, we all do, too.
The data is clear and common sense is even clearer. Consumers search throughout the funnel, and yet many (but not all) search marketers tend to look at upper funnel SEM as "inefficient." They might have some of the most relevant and obvious top and middle terms in their search accounts, but only to supplement the bottom funnel terms that have limited scale and that can't spend the entire budget on their own.
But, what if…? What if the myopic focus on chasing the most efficient KPIs is literally holding today's search programs back from fully flourishing?
Think about your own paid search program. Is it aligned to the way that consumers use search engines in purchase decisions for your category or is it purposefully bottom funnel-focused so that it can deliver the highest ROAS in the monthly marketing report? Maybe we – search marketers – have helped to perpetuate this narrow view of what this channel can deliver by setting expectations at our company and agency that SEM is best as a lower-funnel tactic.
Could our bottom funnels be much, much larger if we filled our funnels with top and middle funnel search? The top and middle KPIs might never stack up to bottom funnel performance, but maybe they can impact more business goals than other upper funnel marketing tactics such as online display or even television.
If 90 percent of searchers haven't made their mind up about a brand before starting their search, it would seem that getting in front of a consumer when they're just starting their purchase journey should be prioritized. And the time when consumers are searching for middle funnel terms as they round out their research and get closer to buying can be a very valuable inflection point for brands to influence them.
One of my favorite quotes that really hammers home just how valuable every search can be is from Bing's Christi Olson in the 2017 SearchEngineLand.com article, The value of search across the modern consumer decision journey.
Once you embrace that, the value of the upper funnel search suddenly becomes clearer. The justification for paying a few bucks more per click for upper funnel keywords makes more sense and evaluating every search effort against your most efficient bottom funnel [unicorn] terms makes less sense.

OP swimmer Ernst has a secret weapon: the snooze button
By Mary Jo Monnin|Published Wed, Oct 29, 2014
If Andrea Ernst wants to pick up her share of W's in her races, she knows she needs plenty of ZZZZZZ's.
The Orchard Park junior is convinced a good night's sleep before her bigger meets has helped make her the accomplished swimmer she is.
"I like to get a lot of sleep the night before," Ernst said. "If I don't get enough sleep, it's hard to wake up in the morning and I can tell throughout my daily activities that I am lacking in my sleep."
Ernst, 16, likes to get eight-plus hours of sleep on the eve of big races. She'll be hitting the sack early next week as the Section VI Championships are Nov. 6-7 at Erie Community College.
In a season in which so much talent in Section VI graduated, Ernst is the returning face of girls swimming in Western New York. A fierce competitor, she is the defending state champion in the 100 freestyle. Her time of 50.88 at last year's states in Ithaca also broke the Section VI record.
"After I swam that race I looked up at the wrong lane and I thought I got second," said Ernst, "but everyone was really excited, and then I finally realized I won. I was really excited to break 51 seconds."
Ernst would love to duplicate the success she had at last year's sectionals. She was a double winner as a sophomore, taking the 200 free in 1:50.66 and the 100 butterfly in 57.04. She said she knows she's swimming well when she gets off the wall fast and develops a steady stroke count and breathing pattern.
So far she has hit the state cut time in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 fly, and is within decimals in the 200 free.
Ernst started swimming when she was 9. Before that she was in dance and also tried skiing, basketball and soccer before her family joined a country club swim team. From there she was hooked. She said she stays motivated by watching her times drop, the direct result of the work she puts in.
First-year Quakers coach Bret Norvilitis said Ernst is capable of dropping her times like crazy in the big meets. He's also impressed with how respectful and gracious Ernst is with her competitors.
He said at this year's meet at Lancaster, Ernst went up against another of the section's top swimmers in Kristen Romano. Their 50 freestyle race couldn't have been any closer with Ernst touching out Romano for the win.
"They were racing each other as hard as they could, and as soon as it was over, they looked up and they hugged and laughed; she was an instantly happy kid with her buddy, that made an impression on me," Norvilitis said. "I get the impression she's reserved, focused, determined, and I also don't get the idea she's dragging around a lot of baggage. It's important that she has a perspective like that."
Orchard Park has plenty of swimmers who will score points for them at sectionals. In diving, senior Morgan Wellenzohn was the only representative from Section VI at states a year ago. She finished an impressive third with 439.45 points. She cruised to the ECIC title on Saturday.
Last week at Jamestown, she shattered the pool and OP school six-dive record with 314.85 points. Another diver, freshman Jolie Blodgett, is ranked second in Section VI behind Wellenzohn and has been improving consistently.
"She's got all the tools to be fantastic in the years to come," said Norvilitis.
Sophomore Olivia Sapio has already qualified for states in the 200 and 200 individual medley.
OP finished 9-1 in ECIC I with the loss coming to Clarence. They also lost to Fairport by three points in the second meet of the season.
"It was good to push ourselves early," said Norvilitis. "These girls are not afraid of a challenge. Some teams don't want to face a team that may beat them. These girls want to go out and that's what I love about them."

Shipwreck found on Gulf floor while thousands watched
The joy of discovery was palpable when a nearly 200-year-old wooden shipwreck was found on the bottom of the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico, along with three other wooden ship sites, according to Fred Gorell of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Ocean Exploration.
Most of the wood is gone, eaten by ocean organisms, but copper sheathing helped keep the shape of the hull together, scientists said.
The artifact-laden wreck is in a largely unexplored area of the Gulf, and when NOAA went in with their Little Hercules remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) for 29 dives, satellite and Internet pathways allowed scientists and amateurs alike to follow along live.
But why was this ship the most "exciting" out of the four potential sites?
It was full of evidence that intrigued NOAA marine archeologists. When the ship itself was discovered, 2,000 people were following along live - including scientists in five different states and "citizen researchers" ashore using telepresence technology.
"You look at this as a scene - not a crime scene, but a history scene, with pieces of evidence that will be looked at differently by different experts who specialize in different things to help date this ship and to help get a better understanding of what this ship might have been engaged in," Gorrell said.
"It has been said that there is more history on the seafloor than in all of the museums on earth. This might help us better understand a little piece of history that is in one small place on the seafloor that could be very important if put into perspective."
Plates laced with a green pattern around the edges and the copper sheathing are key pieces of evidence. They can help researchers determine the exact time period when the ship was constructed and used - and possibly when it went down.
The location of cannons, bottles and maritime navigation instruments such as a compass and octant give researchers an idea of the use areas on the ship, said Frank Cantelas, a maritime archaeologist with NOAA's Office of Ocean Exploration and Research.
The artifacts are all exposed because of the ship's decomposition - and because sediment didn't have the chance to accumulate and bury them. The ship is deeper than 4,000 feet and away from the mouth of the Mississippi River, a prime bearer of sediment, Cantelas said.
"As far as we know, it was sailing across the Gulf, but we're not sure where it was coming from or going," he said. "Based on the fact that it has cannons on board, and muskets as well, brings about some interesting ideas that it may have been involved in military activities."
The evidence gives an early suggestion that the ship was constructed and operated in the first half of the 19th century - when the Texas Revolution and Mexican-American War were occurring in the region, he said.
The imagery, information and data from the dives is available to researchers, graduate students and other marine archeologists that want to study the information. There are currently no plans to retrieve any of the objects.
Because only 5% of its floor is mapped, the ocean "is a big mystery," Gorrell said, "so you have the opportunity for the joy of discovering things in the big ocean, which you can do if you go out and you look in places where no one has been before, it often comes your way."

I think we should all get deep-water subs. and go loot the heck out of the ship, and then sell it all off on ebay at a huge gain. Yeah!

Malaysia shrugs off 1MDB scandal to become second-quarter star
Thu, Jun 29, 2017 - 8:32 AM
Malaysian assets are back in favor as investors focus on encouraging signs of an economic turnaround instead of a scandal that has touched the top of government and as far as Hollywood.
PHOTO: BLOOMBERG
[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysian assets are back in favor as investors focus on encouraging signs of an economic turnaround instead of a scandal that has touched the top of government and as far as Hollywood.
The stark shift means that Prime Minister Najib Razak, who has weathered political attacks and protests going back to 2015 over allegations involving state-owned 1Malaysia Development Bhd, may call an early election to cement his hold on power.
The ringgit is easily the strongest major Asian currency this quarter, climbing more than twice as much as the next best, the Chinese yuan. Global funds have bought the most Malaysian stocks year-to-date since the same period in 2013, and net inflows to the bond market surged in April and May.
Malaysia has been rocked by far-reaching investigations into investment fund 1MDB, yet double-digit acceleration in the country's exports has lifted the economy, which grew 5.6 per cent on-year in the first quarter, the most since early 2015.
"With improving macro-economic conditions in Malaysia, we became more positive in mid-2017 for the general Malaysia outlook, although there are still political and corruption concerns," said Hakan Aksoy, a fund manager at Pioneer Investment Management Ltd, which oversees US$244 billion globally. "As long as we see improvement on the macro data with the support of global conditions and stable energy prices, we will keep our cautiously positive stance for Malaysia," London-based Aksoy said.
SEE ALSO: Further rate cut by Bank Negara Malaysia expected in Q4 2019: HSBC
Overseas investors have purchased US$2.48 billion of Malaysian equities this year, the biggest stock inflow in Southeast Asia. The FTSE Bursa Malaysia index hit its highest in two years on June 16 as technology, banks and construction shares soared.
Samsung Asset Management is buying Malaysian banking, property and construction stocks on bets the government will pump prime ahead of the election, according to Hong Kong-based fund manager Alan Richardson. Meanwhile, it's paring technology and commodity-related holdings.
"Domestic cyclicals will outperform while global cyclicals will underperform," Mr Richardson said. This is due to "a combination of global monetary stimulus and domestic early election stimulus." The stock market's gains came as the ringgit rebounded from a 19-year low. After missing out on an earlier rally in regional currencies, it strengthened as growth quickened and concerns eased over an earlier move by the central bank to deter currency speculators.
Bond investors have also returned. Malaysian debt securities drew more than 16 billion ringgit (S$5.14 billion) in April and May after recording the longest stretch of outflows in two years. The yield on 10-year notes has fallen 56 basis points to 3.9 per cent since reaching an eight-year high in November.
Still, not everyone is convinced. Nomura Holdings Inc is underweight on Malaysian stocks, citing expensive valuations and doubts that the growth momentum can be sustained.
"I find it difficult to justify buying Malaysia's genuine story while ignoring the risks on valuations and also the existing risk that the Malaysian market comes with," said Mixo Das, Nomura's Southeast Asian equity strategist in Singapore. "The market probably goes up a bit more till the election, but what happens after it?" A general election isn't due until mid-2018, but there's growing speculation that Mr Najib will call for polls this year with growth holding up and the opposition parties racked by infighting. The premier said earlier this month that preparations for the election were going well.
The economic outlook has helped to counter headlines involving 1MDB, which is at the center of money-laundering allegations and probes in several countries. The US Justice Department is seeking to recover US$1.8 billion in assets it says were bought with funds misappropriated from 1MDB.
Complaints filed in a US court alleged that from 2009 through 2015 more than US$4.5 billion belonging to 1MDB was diverted by officials of the fund and their associates. Mr Najib, who until last year was the chairman of 1MDB's advisory board, has denied wrongdoing and was cleared by Malaysia's attorney general.
For Schroder Investment Management Ltd., economic factors trump politics when investing in Malaysian bonds. It also favors the ringgit due to the nation's positive outlook.
"Key considerations are improving fiscal dynamics, dynamics around central bank policy, attractive economic policies, sensitivity to developed market and China developments," said Manu George, a Singapore-based fixed-income director at the firm.

A Place All Our Own: Lives Entwined in a Desert Garden
by Mary Irish
Paper: 978-0-8165-1282-9 | eISBN: 978-0-8165-9939-4
Library of Congress Classification SB427.5I752 2012
For twenty years Mary Irish, along with her husband Gary, tended a garden in Scottsdale, Arizona. Over the years they transformed it into a lively and lovely spot that reflected both its place in the world—hot, dry, and often hostile to gardeners who don't understand its ways—and the particular passions of its two creators. Of course, not everything went as planned, and the garden talked back as much as it obeyed. But for these two gardeners, the unexpected outcome is one of gardening's great pleasures.
Mary Irish is a delightful writer. With grace, wit, and obvious affection, she tells the story of how she and Gary transformed a barren half-acre plot around their house in the center of Greater Phoenix into a haven: for its creators and their friends, for the birds and insects and other critters that have discovered it, and for the plants that have made it their home. Although it describes the experience of gardening in one of the most extreme climates in the inhabited world, A Place All Our Own will interest anyone who gardens—and everyone who enjoys a well-told, true-life nature tale.
Mary Irish is a garden writer, lecturer, and educator who lived in Arizona for 25 years. She is the author of many books, including Gardening in the Desert (also published by the University of Arizona Press). For more than a decade, she served as the Director of Public Horticulture at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix. She has been a gardening columnist for the Arizona Republic newspaper and has served as a consultant on many large-scale landscaping projects. She now teaches classes and conducts workshops on a wide variety of topics in desert gardening.

Q: Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined in nopcommerce 4.3 In nopcommerce 4.3, when I am calling the javascript at page load time in view page(themes\views\abc.cshtml) at that time it showing error in console application. i.e. Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined.
Here is my code,
<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {

</script>

Totally Surprised...!!! Why this error showing. Because I don't think so that is any mistakes in syntax. And this type of error throw when there is mismatch of javascript / jquery related file path. But in nopcommerce all file is available.

A: jQuery is not imported before your Script.
View source of the generated HTML page and see if your script is placed after jQuery import, if not place your script at proper section.
You can add a custom section like below
@section Scripts{

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        alert();
    });
</script>

}

A: Jquery is not imported. You can Import Jquery in your view page using @Html.AddScriptParts().

A: In nopCommerce 4.2, I got the error $(...).fineUploader is not a function
The solution is to put the scripts at the footer, like in the examples below.
Note the use of ResourceLocation.Footer and asp-location="Footer"
Html.AddCssFileParts(ResourceLocation.Footer, "~/lib/fineuploader/fine-uploader.min.css");
Html.AddScriptParts(ResourceLocation.Footer, "~/lib/fineuploader/jquery.fine-uploader.min.js");

Padilla files bill penalizing discrimination
PHOTO HANDOUT
A SENATOR has filed a bill penalizing discrimination due to race, religion or history behind bars.
Senator Robinhood Ferdinand "Robin" C. Padilla said he filed Senate Bill 233 to protect the rights of all Filipinos by imposing severe penalties against discrimination, including imprisonment for up to eight years and a maximum fine of P1 million.
"Regrettably, it is a reality that differing and adverse treatment on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion or even involvement with the justice system still exists in a democratic country like ours," Mr. Padilla, a Muslim convert and was previously imprisoned for illegal possession of firearms, said in a statement on Wednesday.
Under the bill, discrimination refers to "any distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference made on the basis of race, color, descent, national or ethnic origin, religion, religious affiliation or beliefs, or being a formerly incarcerated person which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise on an equal footing, of the human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil, or any other field of public life of a person."
The bill also covers punishment for incitement to discrimination and harassment.
The proposed measure disallows discrimination in political participation; employment; education and training; sale and delivery of goods and services; acquisition, possession, utilization, lease or disposal of lands, including housing and other accommodations; and access to public places, facilities and public meetings.
Any person, government agency or private entity who assists, authorizes and promotes such discriminatory acts will be held liable. Authorities duty-bound to act on complaints under the act but fail or refuse to do so will also be sanctioned.
If passed, all private and public agencies, corporations, companies, organizations, educational institutions, and training centers must create a non-discrimination and equal opportunity committee, which will conduct an initial investigation of cases. — Alyssa Nicole O. Tan

The epidemic of Mumbai building collapses
By RealtyMyths on	 April 3, 2018 No Comments	/ 682 views
Anushree Ghosh,
"This building is dangerous. It may collapse at any time. Enter at your own risk. So goes a warning sign at the entrance to a building in Mumbai. Buildings that crumble are an old tradition in this city." – Dilip D'Souza, author, and activist
Elements constituting structures deteriorate with time, and repair is the mandatory law to follow when the signs of damage are visible. The Buildings show crumbling symptoms much before they actually collapse; and when neglected for years, they become 'the Wells of Death'. D' Souza in his article 'Nobody touches the Act' describes it as an "epidemic" that is an Old Bombay tradition. Accounting the roots of this epidemic, he mentions the 1996 Tavadia building collapse in Bora Bazaar and the Saki Naka hillside collapse. One of the major causes pointed out by D'Souza is the occupancy by the descendants of World War II immigrant of Mumbai who were given houses on low rents to control the exorbitant prices asked by the landlords. Today, such meager amounts cannot aid the landlord in the maintenance of the dilapidated buildings, and the residents cannot leave due to the skyrocketed rents of Mumbai.
As of yet, the epidemic has found no cure. Last year, 17 people died in a building collapse in suburb Ghatkopar, Mumbai. And still, many old buildings are standing erect with wounded arms and legs but hardly anything is done to improve the conditions. Repair and conservation of the old buildings of Mumbai are a major area of concern. As per the report published by "Financial Express" on Sept 5, 2017 –
"There are more than 19000 buildings in South Mumbai that are more than 100-year old. These buildings, if ignored, will eventually get dilapidated, amounting to a loss of life and property."
The complete demolition of these buildings for redevelopment faces several issues – lack of financial support to the society and no consensus among owners, tenants, and developers. Often, the developers find it too risky to invest on redeveloping old buildings. The Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) categorizes such buildings into C-1 (most dangerous), C-2 (structural repairs required) and C-3 (minor repairs required). However, categorizing should be followed by further actions where BMC fails to follow the protocols in time. In Sept 2015, a bench of Justices BR Gavai and MS Karnik stated that the BMC is seldom ready to present its side of an argument on a case that was filed to seek permission for a building's demolition. The bench also accused the BMC officials of preparing incorrect reports as demanded by the developers.
Pressed strongly under the debris of interests of the various stakeholders, Mumbai needs to crawl out and breathe in the fresh air of redevelopment. It is crucial for the residents, government agencies, societies and developers to opt out for redevelopment in time before the epidemic causes more harm.

A Needed Homefront Celebration for Military Spouses
October 19, 2013 | Filed under: Featured,World News | Posted by: Lisa Collins-Haynes
By Lisa Collins-Haynes
Informer Media Group
Over two hundred military spouses from the Metro D.C. and Prince William area were invited to the Crystal City Marriott at Regan National Airport to attend a Homefront Celebration. The D.C. Metro Chapter of Operation Homefront (OPH) and BlackBerry hosted the event. The Celebrations are a special night out to acknowledge the commitment and sacrifices made by military spouses. They are treated to a short break and some much needed rest and relaxation. The event provides participants with inspirational speakers, entertainment, food, and special treats to lift their morale, let them know they are appreciated, and provide them with an avenue to make new friends.
At just over three months of its inception, the OPH and BlackBerry partnership was a natural fit due to the support both organizations offer to service members and their families. BlackBerry has been a long time partner with the Department of Defense, by providing technology and communication solutions to members of the armed forces. The Celebration kicked off with a rendition of the National Anthem by Miss Maryland Teen USA, Hanna Brewer. Hannah is an avid supporter of the military. She helps organizations such as Operation Welcome Home Maryland, Operation Homefront, Team Red, White, and Blue, The USO, and Honor Flights. She has planned a princess tea party for the spring of 2013 for little girls who have families in the military. Hannah is also in the process of starting her own non-profit (501C3) which will be called, "Hannah's Heroes", to benefit our military and their families (www.missmarylandusa.com).
Speakers included Scott Totzke, Senior Vice President for Blackberry Security. Totzke is responsible for maintaining a consistently high standard for the security of BlackBerry products and services, and helping to shape BlackBerry's regulatory compliance, lawful access and privacy strategies on a global scale. His organization includes enterprise product management and strategy, security product life cycle management, operations and government sales as stated in his bio. He spoke on the value of keeping communication secure and how this relationship has benefited the military over the years.
Dr. Tyrone Taborn delivered the keynote address. He is the publisher, chairman and CEO of Career Communications Group, which is a minority-owned media service company, that connects top technology talent to employers that have the potential to fulfill their career goals. Over more than a quarter of a century, CCG has built strong, lasting partnerships with America's top companies, government agencies, and educational institutions through its magazines, the Internet, and conferences that promote achievements of minorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Taborn's message didn't leave a dry eye in the room. He simply read a creative writing piece found online by Ashleigh Baker entitled, "This is To You, the Military Wife" found at ashleighbaker.net. It rang true on so many different levels and gave a colorfully vivid depiction of what nearly every military spouse goes through at some point and time. A real tear-jerker.
The Celebration's theme was Connecting Home, highlighting the importance of the military member to maintain the link with family while serving their country at home and abroad. Additionally, BlackBerry chose to be a sponsor for the dinner, "To say thank you and because we value the sacrifice that is made by the military spouse", says Wes Montee, BlackBerry Manager for Market Development, Government and Education.
Each military spouse was given a nifty, durable tote bag filled to the brim with practical and donated items from small businesses and members of the community. Many spouses could be overheard chatting about how nice and useful the gifts and bags were. It was clear that this gesture was greatly appreciated. As the evening came to a close, Totzke returned to the podium for what he said felt like his "Oprah moment" and announced that each spouse in attendance would be receiving a brand new BlackBerry Z10 mobile phone. The room erupted with cheers and screams of excitement. Danielle Hopper wrote on OPH's website "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!! Operation Homefront and BlackBerry gave us one of the most memorable evenings we've had in a long time. There were so many amazing spouses and some amazing companies. Jennett Robinson-Cline and I were both honored to attend and blessed with the love and support we were given." This sentiment was clearly felt by everyone attending, including me—a military spouse of seventeen years and once a recipient of OPH services.
About Operation Homefront: A national nonprofit, Operation Homefront leads more than 4,500 volunteers with nationwide presence who provide emergency and other financial assistance to the families of service members and wounded warriors. Operation Homefront has met more than 750,000 needs of military families since its inception in 2002. A four-star rated charity by watchdog Charity Navigator, nationally 95 percent of total revenue donated to Operation Homefront goes directly to programs that provide support to our military families. For more information, go to www.OperationHomefront.net.
About BlackBerry: A global leader in wireless innovation, BlackBerry® revolutionized the mobile industry when it was introduced in 1999. Today, BlackBerry aims to inspire the success of our millions of customers around the world by continuously pushing the boundaries of mobile experiences.

Discussion in 'Sony TVs Forum' started by Mattytc, Dec 31, 2007.
I want to buy a 26" LCD television for a bedroom in our house.
I heard an advert on the radio saying that Sainsburys are selling the Sony Bravia KDL-26U3000 for £349.99.
After a quick search on the internet I found that this price is by far the cheapest.
I was going to buy this television but then found out about other Sony Bravia 26" LCD Televisions.
This has confused me quite a bit.
I would still consider buying the KDL-26U3000 from Sainsburys as it is cheap.
However, I know that 'you get what you pay for' so would rather get a television with positive reviews.
The product comparison tool on Sony's webiste is unhelpful in helping me to decide which to buy.
I have emailed Sony, asking what the differences are but they just directed me towards the product comparison tool.
I have searched threads on this webiste and found that the KDL-26T3000 is supposedly the best of the lot.
Could someone please explain the key differences between the models.
If you own one of these models, what do you think of it?
Also, where would be the cheapest place to buy them?
Either a store or a website.
Could anyone recommend a good internet site to purchase one of these from?
All replies are much appreciated.
It seems that everyone thought the T series had a better panel than the S series, now it seems only the T3000 gets the better panel.
So the question is has the T series been downgraded (there are still some in a few Comet stores) ?
Is the S / T 2800 with the cheaper panel still the best option for around £350 -400 ?
After reading loads of posts on here, it appears the T3000 is the best 26" Sony TV and the 2nd best 26" TV available.
Since the debate about the TA or SPVA panel seems to have been finalised, I also want the T3000 (not T2800). But if the price has jumped back up to £500+ , may have to reconsider as I also need a 40" TV.
If you have any luck finding the T3000, back around the £400 mark, please could you post the link, as I really want one ASAP.
After reading loads of posts on here, it appears the T3000 is the best 26" Sony TV and the 2nd best 26" TV available.
Jez... see post no.4... just above.
Since found it £10 cheaper.
Since the debate about the TA or SPVA panel seems to have been finalised, I also want the T3000 (not T2800). But if the price has jumped back up to £500+ , may have to reconsider as I also need a 40" TV.
So what is the first best 26" LCD TV?
Im after a 26" and have whittled it down to either the T3000 or the LMD70 which is the next one down from the LXD70. Cant decide which to go for tho!
That is just about what I have narrowed my top choices down to!
Can anybody help us decide between the Panasonic TX-26LMD70 and Sony KDL-26T3000?
If you search around this forum you will see that the T3000 is better than the LMD70...it even says above the 2nd best tv is the T3000 which means the LMD70 is below it. I've just ordered one. I've not seen a bad review about it so go for it if you can't afford the LXD70.
Found the t3000 for £409, though i think the price will be the same as the previous link in this thread when you add the delivery on top.
I ordered the LMD70 until I found out about the T3000 for same money.
It came down to a looks thing with my partner preferring the look of the Sony to teh Panasonic.
And you can get Sony's free 5 Year Warranty from several stores until the 13th.
PS there is now a LXD69 kicking around which is about £50 less than the LXD70 and apparently exactly the same other than all black case rather than black and silver.
Can you please tell me where/how can I find the free 5-year guarantee from Sony?
What bracket should I use to mount the Sony KDL-26T3000 on a wall?
I know the bracket has to be VESA-Standard but there are so many on the market.
I want one that will hold the television securely to the wall without obscuring any of the inputs, which I have heard some of the brackets can do.
If you have mounted a T3000 on a wall, could you tell me what bracket you used?
I would be interested in the above also thanks.
Also, if you have found the Sony KDL-26T3000 for a cheaper price than £421.95 (including delivery) as shown in a post above, it would be much appreciated if you could post the details of where to purchase it from here.
A guy I know ordered a T3000 from electrosaver at this price last year. After three weeks he had heard nothing so he contacted them and was told that they didn't actually have any in stock. After another three weeks he got the same story so he cancelled the order. In the meantime they had taken the money off his credit card ! I thought that this was illegal and suggested that he contacts his credit card company.
Either a store or a webiste.
Just a word of warning. My mother in law bought this earlier this year from Makro. A couple of weeks ago, the picture quality deteriated. She has waited until after Xmas to report it to Sony as she thought that there would possibly a problem getting an engineer to come out over the holiday period. Today she contacted Sony as the tv came with 1 years warranty but was informed that the warranty does not cover call outs for 26" tv's. She asked how she was going to get it repaired & was told to take it to a Sony Centre. My mother in law told the customer service adviser that she is a pensioner & doesn't drive & couldn't possibly carry the tv on a bus. The reply that she got was "you should have purchased a 32" tv". Local tv repair companies will not service Sony tv's. She has however been paying for a 5 year extended warranty but this does not come into effect until the 1 year warranty expires so now she will have to put up with the bad picture until she can claim on the new warranty.
^That sounds rediculous. If that is true I would make a HUGE fuss until they gave me what I want. How can they possibly do that? I'm sorry but I cannot see how 26" and under are not covered by the standard manufacturers warranty. Surely ALL products are covered from faults that are not caused by customer misuse?
Get onto trading standards or whatever they're called! Utterly dismayed.
It's not that it's not covered by the warranty, they will not send anyone out to a tv under 32". As my mother in law is in her 70's & doesn't drive, she cannot get it to a Sony Centre (we do not live near her). Also, that means, if she could, it would have to be left with them (so she would be without a tv) rather than an engineer repairing it at her home. Their complete lack of compassion beggers belief. How can you say to a pensioner "you should have purchased a 32"?
Its not cheaper than the £421, but for £433 at Total Digital you will get a 5 year thrown in as long as you can collect.
I'm off to Sony Centre to see if they can beat it... i'll post later today to let you know. We've bought 3 from them in last 6 months as they always do a good deal. Fingers crossed.
If you do manage to get a better deal from the Sony Centre I will try that with my local one.
I do apologise, I didn't read your original post correctly. Still, I agree it's bad saying that to a pensioner who can't get to a service center. Hope you sort it out somehow.
Tried Sony Centre and he sad that he cant buy them for that price, and i should snap there arm off if i can get it for that price. Showed him pda with web page on and he said to buy one. They are currently complaining to Sony as they are loosing trade due to the prices other none Sony traders can do.
Where are you going to buy the television from then?
I have looked at the Total Digital website and found that their store is in Birmingham.
Unfortunately, that is a bit far for me to travel seeing as I live in Essex.
They charge £20 delivery, which brings the price above that of other internet stores.
Also, I have read poor reviews about them.
