Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Steve Kindig Samsung's ultra-slim flagship LCD TVs Samsung has become the world leader in HDTVs based on the amazing performance and popularity of their LED-LCD technology. With the F8000 series, they've poured all their best ideas for design, picture quality and convenience into a sleek package. This model also includes the company's groundbreaking interactive voice and gesture controls. What's behind the superb picture? Samsung's main engineering focus on this model is the all-important backlight. The UN55F8000 uses an extremely sophisticated edge-lit LED backlight with Samsung's Precision Black local dimming. This is complemented by their Micro Dimming Ultimate software-based dimming, which adds another level of light control. You not only get the widest possible range from bright white to deep black, but also a nearly infinite number of shades in between. Micro Dimming works by scanning the backlight "zones" across the picture and continuously adjusting brightness to optimize contrast scene by scene. The UN55F8000 uses the Ultimate version of this technology, which has twice as many backlight zones as the Pro version used in the next model down. It minimizes "halos" and other types of light-based distortion. This is a high-speed scanning backlight, which works along with the 240Hz screen refresh rate to virtually eliminate motion blur. Beauty on the outside, brainiac on the inside The UN55F8000 is one of Samsung's smartest Smart TVs ever thanks to a 1.35GHz quad-core processor. That's more horsepower than most tablets have. Besides surfing the web you can do things like multitask or use one app while downloading another. Whether your connection is wired or wireless, you can do a quick web search while you watch movies and TV shows, and enjoy TV while you chat with friends and family online. Along with built-in apps for services like Netflix®, Hulu Plus™, and YouTube™, you can download new ones from Samsung's large selection of apps. Samsung's Galaxy phones and tablets add handheld viewing and control Samsung's AllShare™ Play lets you wirelessly access and stream content from any compatible device. If you have a Galaxy S3 smartphone or Galaxy tablet, you can share movies, photos, and music via the UN55F8000. Your Wi-Fi® network lets you do things like "toss" photos from your phone or tablet to the screen with the swipe of a finger. Or push streaming video like Netflix movies from device to screen. Sending content from your phone to your TV is cool, and going TV-to-phone is even cooler. Just download Samsung's Smart View app and use the TV View feature to mirror whatever's on the UN55F8000's screen on your Galaxy S3 phone or tablet. You can leave the room anytime without leaving your entertainment behind. Think of it as whole-house television you hold in your hand. A 3D experience whenever you want The Samsung UN55F8000 delivers a spectacular picture in 2D or 3D. Just slip on a pair of the included active glasses to enjoy a deeper view, and not just with true 3D video sources — switch on the TV's 2D-to-3D conversion for added depth with regular 2D video. And even if you're not interested in 3D this set still deserves consideration if picture quality is your number one priority.

Plasma is an OLD technology. If black were the only color in the spectrum, 'maybe' you'd have something. This TV is unbelievably clear! It is fast, the apps that I use work well, and a real Web browser is a bonus. I have no idea how the speakers sound, because in my opinion, no one should even use them. Built in speakers on TV's have been dead and useless since they stopped making console/cabinet/floor TV's. Pros: Picture, speed, clarity, depth, ease of use Cons: NONE Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN55F8000 Written By John V., Sandwich MA on Friday, January 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We are amazed, and pleased , and learning. When they said smart TV I didn't realize they meant smarter than me. And I am really glad it is. So is my family. There is nothing left wanting on this set. We are more than happy with the results and the recommendations we received. I went the step above what I thought I was going to buy and it is well worth the money paid. If I had to I would do it again, I would do it the same way. My experience is a 5 star one. Don't know how anyone could see it differently. Unless they object to too many features and too high a quality level. Pros: Extraordinary picture, very acceptable sound. Though an inexpensive sound bar does improve movie listening. The WiFi connectivity works beautifully and a large variety of Apps. has us watching movies and TV series we had not watched when they were in season. We have discovered a lot of great programs and movies. a 3D TV that has 2D to 3D conversion which gives a super depth of field for viewing sports and scenic programing. This is the top of the line from Samsung and it sure is superior. Cons: None to speak of... However, let me think...The picture is so good you'll never want to turn it off.I suppose that's a con. (chuckle) . So many applications and features you have a hard time choosing between them. I suppose that's a con.( heh) It's refresh rate is so fast you won't have any lag in streaming so you'll tend to stream live events and not take the time to watch prerecorded programs as you normally would. (ho ho) so i guess that's a con....or not. So fret not the cons. Magnificent ! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great for 6 months Written By Anonymous, Erie, PA on Thursday, December 26, 2013 Great tv for 6 months until it broke now 5 months later still not fixed. Samsung has the absolute worst customer service out of any company I've ever dealt with. Do yourself a favor and look at other brands. Pros: Picture Cons: Samsung customer service 6 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN55F8000 Written By Steven, New York on Thursday, December 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent TV. Placed the TV in my sunroom, which has a significant amount of sunlight during the day and it performs very well. Previously had a Samsung PN51E8000 plasma in the same room and the sunlight was just too much for it. Set-up was very easy and I am still exploring all the bells and whistles. I would highly recommend this product for a similar situation or for persons who prefer the display of an LED/LCD over a plasma. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome TV with great potential to enhance your Media Experience!! Written By DanielF823, Aliso Viejo, CA on Friday, November 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) (4.5 to be specific. Would really be a 5 but the refresh rate/response time could be higher... even in PC mode) This is a freaking awesome TV. I have listed all the things I love and hate below. This TV is not only pretty in the Picture department but looks like it could be on the wall or a table of even the most 'posh' socialite or fortune 500 boardroom. The biggest drawback is the for gaming it's a little jittery in high motion... Especially First Person Shooters... were I almost find myself getting dizzy for a second but that might be because I am only 8 feet away in my bed and it's a 55 in. I would say go with something with a bleeding edge response time if gaming is your thing... Otherwise the picture is great. My mother and my GF swear they are looking through a window when we watch downton abbey on Amazon instant. through the Smart-hub. Although even basic cable straight out of the wall's HD channels also look equally superb. And I have to say my experience with Crutchfield was easy as pie!!!!! Haven't had any issues and they got it here much much faster than I could have expected. Getting a super high interest loan to help pay for it off the bad was easy with Go GE Capitol... Good thing I payed it off in 2 months) Pros: -Great picture - Good Sound in the TV - Smart apps look AWESOME ON IT!!!! (Amazon instant video HD) -So so so so sleek look that would enhance the room of even the most high style lovers. Cons: Could have better response time with Picture enhance functions for smooth fast paced gaming Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung 8000 Written By Michael, Connecticut on Sunday, November 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent Picture. Easy Setup, although you need two people to assemble stand. Interaction is good, voice commands are ok if you have a quiet room. Remote should be better response time and more.sophisticated. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Review for the Samsung UN55F8000 Written By M N in Denver, Denver, CO on Monday, August 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Although this TV was only purchased about one month ago, it is functioning well. The micro-dimming gives a uniformity of color and brightness throughout the screen's image that both showed better at a local electronic warehouse when compared with other TVs displaying the same images at the same time and in my home in ambient lighting varying from very dim to very bright. Pros: Good color, clarity. Nice, clean design. Overall setup is much easier when components made by the same manufacturer are used. Cons: Somewhat pricey given that Sony's and Samsung's 4K TV (available as their upcoming season's 'best available" TV) trumps all 1080p TVs, and will probable make 1080p TVs obsolete. Clumsy navigation with the remote for set-up of the TV's interfacing with one's data access and devices. 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice LED TV Written By AC, Manhattan, NY on Monday, July 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this Samsung UN55F8000 LED TV along with the Sanus LCD Floor Stand, Bell`O 7912B Universal Soundbar Mount, the Bose Cinemate 1 SR Soundbar speaker system and the Panamax M4300-PM. Great combination. A lot of work to put them all together but it looks great and neat looking. I debated about the 60" over the 55" LED TV. I think I made the right choice since I did not want the TV to dominate the small living room. Unfortunately, attaching a picture is not an available option. Crutchfield is great place to buy expensive items like this TV. Well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Pros: Sleek looking TV. Beautiful colors. Not heavy for it's size. Cons: Internal sound system isn't great but not a big deal since I have installed a Bose Soundbar speaker system. It is beautifully hanging under the LED TV. I now have too many remote controls: one for TV, one for Verizon FiOS cable TV and one for Bose. I wish one remote could control everything. The back of the TV is not entirely flat. This made it very difficult to fit the Bell'o universal soundbar mount system in the back of the TV. 3 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN55F8000 Written By Ed, Westchester, New York on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great television. No set up problems, surfs web, picture is really fantastic, only flaw worth noting is the lack of a remote that can control other devices 7 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Tiny step better then my 2011 D6000 Written By MarkY, Jacksonville, FL on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Just received this really nice sleek TV. Set ups pretty straight forward. Hooking up to my Wifi was very simple. Had some issue when getting the new remote to control my cable DVR. I just left It alone for now so I can see watch my shows. After hooking up my Wifi, this TV had some updates to do. Took about 20 min for that which was very straight forward, so all in all, TV was ready to use in about half an hour after updates and set up. I didn't have the 2012 8000 so I can't comment on how this is compared to last year, but I still have my D6000 and so far, I'm not to sure this is worth it to keep at the moment. I still need to tinker with the settings but right now it the standard settings seem good. I do see some light in the corners like there's a flashlight behind the screen. I have this on my 6000 and maybe this is just normal? Blacks seem a bit better, but not as black as I was looking forward to from the articles I read. I called Samsung to speak to tech support because I see some strange motion issues that I don't have on my other TV. They told me to put the auto motion setting on clear to get rid of this but I still have some artifacts on screen. The sound is bad which I was hoping would be better Becasue of the woofer that's said to be in this. Watched the dark night blu ray just so I can compare the dark levels from my other one and they look ok but not as jet black. tech support told me to keep backlight down to 7 for three to four weeks and it will get better. Pros: Very classy on the stand and has a look like its floating. Sharp picture, good colors and blacks with blu ray and HD looks pretty good. SD looks worse on this one then my 2011 D6 Cons: Price! Seems like it may be almost too expemsive when newer technology will be here wihin a few years. Some light leakage in corners and on top. Remote is finicky and can't seem to control my other boxes. I probably was expecting to be wowed once set up but wasn't not happy I have to keep light setting down to 7 for a few weeks to rid this light leakage I have. I don't recall doing that before on my other TVs. if you have the extra money and your pockets are always full then maybe this is good 58 out of 83 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The television's white LEDs are arranged along the left and right edges of the screen and a proprietary light guide is used to focus its luminance inwards towards the middle of the screen for a more uniform brightness. Micro Dimming Ultimate: Samsung's innovative Micro Dimming Pro technology scans zones across the image and adjusts brightness to deliver deeper, darker tones and brighter whites. It also eliminates the "halo" effect and any kind of image distortion that can happen with diffused lights. The Ultimate version of this technology optimizes the quality to new heights by scanning 2x the number of zones in the image. Precision Black (Local Dimming): In addition, Precision Black Local Dimming produces an even greater increase in contrast and black levels by dimming individual LEDs behind dark areas of the picture thus making blacks darker without affecting brighter elements of the picture. Ultra Clear Panel: Sometimes you can't keep sunlight or house lights from shining right on your TV screen. With Samsung's Ultra Clear Panel, you can still get an amazing picture even with reflective light. Ultra Clear Panel absorbs most ambient light and virtually eliminates reflections. Ultra Clear Panel also helps make colors more vibrant with deeper blacks and enhanced contrast for crisper images and excellent shadow detail. Clear Motion Rate 1200: Clear Motion Rate (CMR) is Samsung's more comprehensive and accurate measure for how well the LED-LCD TV can display fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was expressed simply by the refresh rate, measured in Hz. CMR, however, takes into account all three factors that contribute to motion clarity: panel refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology. CMR is measured by determining the thinnest line a TV can display in a moving image. The thinner the line, the higher the CMR rating, and the clearer the picture you'll enjoy on the screen. Panel Refresh Rate (Hz): Samsung's screen refresh rate (240Hz) significantly improves motion detail and resolution by sampling the image more frequently, leading to smoother, more fluid movement. Image Processor (Auto Motion Plus): Samsung's proprietary Auto Motion Plus image processing technology is faster and more responsive than conventional image processors, as it interpolates intermediate frames to smooth out the image. LED Backlight Technology: Samsung's Edge-Lighting Backlight technology regulates output precisely in synchronization with the screen refresh to lessen the time it is lit, reducing ghosting and motion blur. Auto Motion Plus: Auto Motion Plus removes blur and judder from scenes with large amounts of rapid movement to provide a clearer picture. Auto Motion Plus reduces blur so that action movies, sports and video games have enhanced clarity. Advanced panels and unique backlight technology combine with proprietary algorithms to reduce the response time and yield a more accurate image reproduction with faster onscreen motion. Auto Motion Plus can be set to Clear, Standard, Smooth, Custom, or Off. Wide Color Enhancer Plus: Wide Color Enhancer Plus allows you to see picture color the way the director originally intended. Witness the entire RGB spectrum brought to life on your screen to bring you exceptionally vibrant, yet natural-looking images faithful to the director's original intent. Motion Lighting: The TV automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen in response to the brightness of the room. In bright light, the screen brightens. In dim light, the screen dims. HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. 1080p Resolution: The LED-LCD television displays all inputs at a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080).

The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo or a matrixed 5.1ch signal (DTS Neo 2.5) from sources connected to the TV via HDMI or RCA. Analog Audio: The television features a 3.5mm (minijack) audio output for connecting the television to an analog 2-channel receiver.

ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection, and USB port can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only. Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly.

N.C. Forest Service
RALEIGH — Last week's storm felled trees and branches across the piedmont. The N.C. Forest Service encourages homeowners and others who prune trees or burn yard debris to use caution and follow some basic steps.
Although your trees may look severely damaged, restorative pruning and care may increase the chances of them regaining their original health and beauty. If the basic structure of your trees is intact, it may be in your best interest to save the tree. Tree topping is not a viable solution to storm-damage recovery or prevention. The sprouts that occur after topping are fast-growing, weakly attached branches that are more likely to break off in a future storm.
If you are concerned about the health of your trees, contact a certified arborist to assess tree health and structural integrity. Most tree work should be done only by those trained and equipped to work safely in and around trees. Arborists are knowledgeable about the needs of trees and are trained and equipped to provide proper care.
People who choose to do their own cleanup after a storm should work with a partner, particularly when operating equipment such as chain saws. If you are not familiar with chain saws, consult a professional. If you must use a chain saw, adhere to the following guidelines:

Product Information
- Best Pals Collection from KatJan, Inc.
- We recommend this product for ages 3 and up
What It Is
Today's moms and grandmothers may remember the famous singing Lennon Sisters. The two surviving sisters, Kathy and Janet, called each other "best pals" as they were growing up. They are still wowing crowds today as they perform. Inspired by the handmade dolls they had as kids, Kathy and Janet have created a line of dolls, music, and accessories that recall "a simpler time."
The doll line includes 16-inch soft cloth rag dolls with different hair colors and skin tones, including Kathy, Janet, Lily, Isabelle, Sofia, and Danny. Each doll is made of soft cotton with embroidered facial features and yarn hair. The clothes are removable, changeable, and washable.
Also available is the All Aboard for Blanket Bay CD, featuring lullabies performed by Kathy and Janet; Mini Best Pals, which are five-inch versions of the original Best Pals dolls; a Tin Tea Set that comes with service for four, complete with a colorful serving tray and carrying case; and Lennon Sisters paper dolls that were originally introduced in 1959. Each is sold separately.
Is It Fun?
This is a wonderful, nostalgic line that offers lots of basic, open-ended play. Parents, grandparents, and even contemporary little girls respond to the simple and classic designs and like being able to share these across generations. That sharing and the ability of women and girls of all ages to relate to these together is one of the things that we think is very strong about this line. This whole line will also likely appeal to doll collectors and, of course, Lennon Sisters fans.
Who It's For
The Best Pals dolls and other items are for children, collectors, and Lennon Sisters fans ages 3 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
The items can be found at www.bestpals.net or in specialty toy stores.

September 4 2015 Latest news:
Dan Grimmer
Saturday, July 12, 2014
Highways chiefs have said flooding on the A47 between Norwich and Dereham, which led to long delays for drivers, was caused by the sheer amount of rain which fell and not because of problems with drainage.
The flash floods, between Easton and Honingham, created lengthy tailbacks on Thursday night, with some travellers taking more than two hours to get from Norwich to Dereham.
One driver used social media to say it had taken him three hours to get to Norwich from King's Lynn.
Police received a number of reports about the flooding, with one caller saying the water was "a foot deep and impassable" and others questioning how a major route could get so swamped with water.
But a Highways Agency spokesman said: "There was a localised heavy downpour of rain on the A47 at Easton which meant that traffic signals were used for the safety of road users. Our contractors, in partnership with Norfolk police, managed the flow of traffic throughout the night to allow water to clear and as a precaution for further possible rainfall.
"The traffic signals were removed and all lanes clear by 9am yesterday morning."
The spokesman added that the floods had been caused by the sheer amount of rain and that it had not been caused by any issues with drainage.
Phil Garner, from University of East Anglia-based forecasters Weatherquest, said measurements at Attlebridge – about six miles away from Easton – has recorded 67.8mm of rain in July so far, when the total rainfall in most months is just over 50mm.
At the end of last month other parts of Norfolk experienced flash floods. A torrential downpour hit east Norfolk villages and Norwich, swamping roads, pavements, homes and gardens and causing disruption on the roads and public transport.
Among the hardest hit communities were Hemsby and Ormesby where the water reached knee deep within minutes.
Weatherquest's Mr Garner said such wild weather was not uncommon at this time of year.
He said: "If you look at the average rainfall in Norfolk, one of the wettest months of the year is July.
"That's because you get a high number of storms, with slow-moving weather systems from the west and warm fronts which intrude from Europe."

Utter poppycock. Off course its the HA who is responsible. They are professionals who want to privatise this asset rich stately concern, god beware, so they know of the increasing chaotic tendencies of our weather patterns and the excesses that can occure. If their usual drainage system is too small to cope and its a re occuring problem, then they have to do something about it. What a lazy response is that?

Well said Daisy. For goodness' sake, why were people 'angry'? Who with, what about? That the heavens and the gods should behave like that? Some people want perfect conditions and no problems laid before them all the time - or it is someone else's fault.

"..a similar TAIL of motoring misery ....." Referring to those at the back end of the queues perhaps, or just another example of today's standard of spelling and use of English in newspapers?
Friday, July 11, 2014
I phoned the police to suggest they close the road at St. Olaves as there was a tailback of traffic for a mile and the water was getting deeper by the minute in the flood, however, just got told everywhere was flooded, so, won't bother to inform them again.
Friday, July 11, 2014
Having railed at the EDP and the expectations of those confronted with a bit of wet I do think that the Highways Agency is not on top of roadside maintenance along parts of the A47. I realise we cannot expect C road style grups to let the water off the side-but in places-eg the west bound carriageway of the Blofield bypass, the catch drains are insufficient to prevent sheets of water ( which turn to sheets of ice in frost) which has drained out of the hill straight onto the road. Piped and filled in roadside ditches do not catch flash storm water as quickly as an open ditch which actually has somewhere to take water to, with the culverts properly maintained
Friday, July 11, 2014
Well, truly an urban centric EDP now if all they are concerned about after such heavy rain is the state of the roads. In the past the reporters would have been aware of the consequences for the farming community of heavy rain and strong winds so close to harvest and the possibility that the cereal crops would lodge and be spoiled. "People are angry.." Good grief, have they all lost the brains they were born with so that they can't work out that if inches of rain fall in a short time we would need Singapore style flood drains to keep the roads dry. Pathetic.

Call out the fire brigade to pump it out.... oh wait they are on strike!

A serial reprint of Chapter 6 of The Reason For God, entitled "Science has Disproved Christianity".
Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.
The idea of "research programs" helps explain why it's so hard for people of different origins perspectives to understand each other, and even harder to change positions.
Companion series to the spring 2015 book club featuring "The Lost World of Genesis One: Ancient Cosmology and the Origins Debate" by John Walton.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.

Lilly Ledbetter, move over.
Debate over the Violence Against Women Act in Congress is refueling the successful "war on women" attacks waged against the Republican ticket in 2012, as Democrats seek to gin up the women's vote in key Senate, House and gubernatorial races.
After House Republicans narrowly carried female voters in 2010 for the first time since 1982, Democrats vowed never to let the gender gap erode again. President Obama's 2012 campaign unleashed an unprecedented media blitz touting his supporting for abortion rights, Planned Parenthood and the Lilly Ledbetter Act, which makes it easier for women to sue for equal pay. Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney with an 11-point advantage among women.
Now Democrats are confronting a challenging 2014 election environment, knowing that presidents usually lose members of their party during the midterm vote of their second term. So they are seizing on GOP resistance to reauthorizing the domestic violence bill in an effort to continue to brand the Republican Party as anti-woman.
"When we announced our top ten GOP targets, we promised a comprehensive plan to expose their out-of-touch behavior. First step? The Violence Against Women Act," read the missive Thursday from House Majority PAC, a Democratic super PAC trying to wrest control of the House. Similar e-mail blasts have come this week from UltraViolet, a new liberal group headed by former MoveOn.org leaders, and from Barbara Buono, the New Jersey Democrat challenging Republican Gov. Chris Christie. Another Democratic super PAC, American Bridge, hit Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for his vote against VAWA just hours before he delivered the Republican Party's response to the State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
"If Republicans don't express outrage and inform the public about what VAWA really is and what it does and doesn't do for women, there is a real political currency to be gained here," warned Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway, who offered advice to House Republicans at their retreat last month in Williamsburg. "The war on women was partly effective in the last election because Republicans never came up with an indignant, full-throated, just-the-facts response to these phony attacks."
Republicans are uneasy about a provision in the bill that would allow Native American officials to prosecute non-Indians accused of abuse in tribal courts. In a statement posted on his web site, Rubio also criticized the bill for diverting some of the money from domestic violence programs to sexual assault programs.
But the imposing title of the legislation makes it difficult for Republican objections to its weedy provisions to break through.
"Violence against women should not be a partisan issue," said Chris Harris, a spokesman for American Bridge. "That is an easy message to get across, even to people who don't follow the legislative process. It's like opposing the Clean Air or Clean Water Acts."
The VAWA-related attacks come at a time when the GOP is trying to figure out how to improve its appeal among the young voters, Hispanics and women who rebuffed Romney in the November election. Rubio, a 41-year-old, charismatic Cuban-American, is considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2016 in part because of his potential appeal to those groups.
"Tonight, Marco Rubio will smile, look into the camera and attempt to convince the country that a kinder, gentler Republican Party was born at some point over the past three months," said the e-mail attack from American Bridge. "In fact, the young, fresh, exciting Rubio's record on issues that impact the lives of women looks exactly like those of the tired, old Republicans that ruined the party's brand in the first place."
In a move that could provide more fodder for attacks from the left, Rubio on Thursday announced he will again sponsor a bill that would make it a crime to help a minor cross state lines to get an abortion without notifying a parent. The conservative senator highlighted his opposition to abortion in the opening of his nationally televised speech on Tuesday, saying "America is exceptional because we believe that every life, at every stage, is precious, and that everyone everywhere has a God-given right to go as far as their talents and hard work will take them."
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion group, said parental notification laws are popular and that any attempts to discredit Rubio among women voters would backfire. But she acknowledged that the VAWA-related criticism could have staying power.
"There are fair reasons that Rubio gave and that many other people have given for opposing VAWA, but if the usual web if messaging comes together and if there's silence from the Republican party it could stick," Dannenfelser said.

You should store your eggplant in a cool part of your fridge, in a plastic bag or (preferably) wrapped in plastic wrap. It should last for a good week like this.
Alternately you can blanch and freeze it to store for 6-8 months however the texture will be different when you thaw it because the cell walls will have broken down some. If you go this route, I recommend this method (from stilltasty.com)
