Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Steve Kindig Beautiful design, brilliant picture Samsung's four-legged "Quad" stand has become something of a classic since it was introduced a few years ago. And the screen's ultra-slim bezel creates a virtually edgeless look that makes the picture seem even larger. It definitely gets your attention, but what's going on inside this TV is even more interesting. A gem of a screen The UN60F7100 is a 3D TV, and it comes with four pairs of glasses, but its appeal isn't limited to 3D fans. Why? Because displaying 3D accurately requires a top-notch screen. So, even if you don't care about 3D, that capability comes with a bonus: the sharpest, clearest 2D picture you've ever seen. This model's LED backlight employs Samsung's Micro Dimming technology to produce a more accurate picture. The TV divides the image into multiple areas and applies the correct contrast levels to each area. The edge-mounted LEDs can actually dim independently based on the content in each scene. This is also a high-speed scanning backlight, which works hand-in-hand with the 240Hz screen refresh rate to take motion blur out of the picture. This Smart TV will make you feel smart, too The UN60F7100 makes finding great things to watch easier. Samsung's innovative Smart Hub organizes your favorite entertainment into five simple panels: On-TV, Movies and Shows, Social, Apps, and a panel for your personal photos, videos and music. You can actually ask the TV for recommendations while you're watching, like "what football games are on?" You speak into the microphone built into the touchpad remote, which feels more natural than talking to the TV screen. Plus, if you own a compatible Samsung smartphone or tablet, you can share pictures and videos stored on them and view them on this TV. New for 2013 is a cool feature called TV View. It lets you mirror whatever's on the UN60F7100's screen on your Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone or Galaxy tablet. If you need to leave the room — like, maybe to fix a sandwich — you won't have to leave your entertainment behind. It's like whole-house television you can hold in your hand.

Reason #1: Awesome picture quality. The LED backlights in these higher-end LCD TVs can give you better picture contrast and more lifelike colors than sets with typical fluorescent backlighting. Reason #2: They're more energy-efficient than plasma or regular LCD TVs, helping you lower your monthly electric bill and helping the environment.

Real nice TV Written By Ian G, CA on Sunday, May 04, 2014 Great TV, picture is very clear Pros: Affordable, good picture, energy saving Cons: Takes a long time to get picture settings to a point where it looks good. Look online for premaid picture programming settings. Crutchfield says they have free 3 day shipping to CA but it took 2 weeks.

Still learning all the tools and tricks. Having trouble linking everything to one remote, requires more time. Pros: Great picture right out of the box, 3D is way cool even when your not using the glasses. Tech Guys and Gals are great help, all the time. Cons: Linking remotes to one troublesome, still not there yet. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: Great picture, excellent simulated 3D, very nice form factor. Standard resolution DVD's look almost as good as Blueray. Much better than my previous HD TV Cons: Smart TV wants to be center of universe while I want it to just be a great monitor in a receiver centric home theater. Smart TV features just get in the way of a easy to use experience. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Great Picture Written By Rod, Delaware on Friday, April 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ordered from Crutchfield after seeing this set at another store. Delivery was quick and the initial set-up was easy. We have been watching now for about a month and continue to be amazed by the picture. Great buy! Pros: - Picture quality - Ease of use Was this review helpful? Yes No Everything I hoped it would be. Written By Jerry, Murfreesboro, TN on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This TV was everything I hoped it would be. God for the living room and a good view even at an angle. Much better than my old projetction TV. The only drawback is the stupid remote control. Fortunately I use the Direct TV remote anyway. Pros: Great Picture even with fast motion Cons: Remote control design.

Yes No Good Buy Written By DPF, Ellicott City, MD on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For sports events e.g. BB, it's like being at courtside. This Samsung TV is a great product with an interface that is easier to navigate than earlier versions. Easy to set up and install. I will need to get external speakers as the sound from 10w speakers isn't enough for the den its in. Pros: Don't forget to register with the manufacturer. I think Samsung will increase your warranty time. Cons: none so far. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Samsung Warranty Service Written By Mark, Wilmington, DE on Thursday, January 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this wanting the 240hz refresh rate and didn't think I needed the smart hub (internet features). I really like the smart hub menu system where you can easily access apps or your own media on your home network. Great picture, really nice TV! It is located in a very sunny room-picture brightness works well. About a month after getting the TV it died-would not power on and the red LED indicator light flashed 5 times. Crutchfield got Samsung Service on the phone 12/26 and a service rep came to the house 1/2. It took him 15 minutes to replace the motherboard and the TV was as good as new. Really happy with the support from both Crutchfield and Samsung! Pros: Great Picture especially sports in HD, Simple (and small) Remote, Smart Hub menus & ease of navigation. Pleased with refresh rate. Cons: Sound could be little better so I'm running it through my home theater. Channel menu always starts at channel 1 instead of defaulting to the current channel. Haven't figured out how to use the remote to control my DVD player. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Superb TV for the price Written By ChrisM, Silver Spring, MD on Thursday, January 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got this on cyber Monday, so saved an extra $300 off the already low price for a TV of this quality. Overall, the TV is easy to set up, easy to use, and generates a great picture right out of the box. I've really only tested verizon fios on it so far, but it preforms very well in all variety of programming from sports to movies. Also great hook up with a new Samsung soundbar. Super easy. Finally, this is a great looking TV. Samsung has beautiful design. The only downside is that I still get some pixelation and some fast moving scenes still have a little bit of jitter. THis is better than my older Sony XBR, but it is still there. The motion flow does not completely eliminate this issue. Pros: Great price; easy to set up; looks great. Cons: Still some issues with fast-moving scenes. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The Samsung UN60F7100 Written By Kbashen, Lewisburg, WV on Thursday, December 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Out of the box it was good picture, not great. Calibration with the Disney WoW disc made a great difference. I would say though that the Micro-Dimming feature does seem to crush the blacks on dark scenes. The sound is OK but could be better. Looking for rear wireless speakers to use with this TV. Pros: Good Image Allot of extra features for this TV. Remote works as advertised Cons: Micro-Dimming Had to make adjustments to make a great picture. Speakers 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN60F7100 Written By Ted M., lake on Thursday, December 26, 2013 Probably the best TV screen I've seen. I was blown away by the image displayed for Blue-ray movies. Exceptional! I am delighted with the set. I tested the 3-D feature and was pleased with the results, once I bothered to read the directions, sync the glasses and enable the 3-D feature on the remote! I'm not crazy about wearing the glasses to view 3-D but, I'm so impressed with the crispness of the image in 2-D mode, I probably won't bother to seek out 3-D movies. I really love the 240 fps frame rate. Absolutely no discernible blurring of fast action. I really love the set.. I've not tested a lot of the special features yet, just enjoying sitting back and watching cable TV/ DVDs and Blue-ray videos. Wonderful! Pros: Fantastic picture quality. Bright display. I like the very thin frame around the edges that provides the maximum screen size for a given sized wall. Cons: I can't think of any but, I've not tested most of the special features. The Crutchfield technicians Installed and set it up and we've just enjoyed it! Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome TV! Written By gapkids5, Round Lake Beach, IL on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome picture! I have had this TV for about two weeks and am amazed at the picture. I did a lot of research on different brands of LED sets. Prior to purchasing the set, I went to other retailers to look at this TV and compare it to other brands. At first I was skeptical since at all three places the picture was pixelizing during sports games. After speaking with a sales person at one of them they assured me that once I have the set connected to my Directv, I would not see this happening. The pixeling was due to signal strength being spread around to other sets in the store. I also decided to go with Samsung over Sony since my experience with my last two Sony sets have been disappointments. So far I am happy with the purchase. I have not used the Smart feature Apps since there are so many to choose from. I would definitely recommend this TV. Pros: HD picture clarity. TV screen is bright enough to over come a sunlight room. Cons: Settings and remote is a bit confusing but I am sure over time will be second nature. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung TV Written By TJ, Streamwood, IL on Monday, December 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product, with tons of features. Coming from Samsung plasma TV to LED, I think there are some differences in a good and bad way. Overall absolutely gorgeous TV. Pros: Very sleek design, and very light as well. I love the remote, although it feels heavy and slippery. Cons: I miss some of the buttons on the old Samsung remotes, on the new ones you have to go into a menu and sub menu to find them. But saves room on the remote. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Quite the 7100 TV Written By Sullivan123, CA on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) TV has a lot of bells & whistles, probably more than will use. Just set it up yesterday and so far, so good. Easy to wall mount, looks sleek. Pros: Multi-functional, picture good so far and microdimming seems to work. Initial out of the box set up was easy. Connected to home wireless without a problem Cons: None at this time Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN60F7100 Written By Anonymous, St. Louis, MO on Thursday, November 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking to replace my Samsung LN52A650 52 inch TV with a 60 inch TV. I was going to move my old Samsung to the basement and get a new TV for the family room. Because this room gets a lot of daylight in the summer I quickly ruled out plasma TVs. I wanted to spend between $1500 and $2000 so it came down to LG and Samsung. All I really wanted was a 60 inch Smart TV so I was leaning towards the Samsung UN60F6300. I really didn't see the need for 3D since DirectTV only has one 3D channel now that ESPN 3D has gone away. So I went to Best Buy to see for myself and discovered that the UN60F7100 really had a better picture. Not by much but you could tell since they were side beside .I didn't really want the 3D capability but all the mid level and higher TVs have them, so you are stuck paying for it. Have not used all the feature yet but the picture is great and setup was easy. I think 3D TV is a gimmick, I can not see wearing glasses all the time and I don't know if I could watch it for an extended period of time. It's kind of a neat party trick to show friends. As for the remote, I don't care for it and am still using my old Logitech universal remote. I find the scroll pad too hard to navigate. I will have to try more to play with it. Overall great TV and I am glad I splurged. Oh, initially paid $1900 for set but it just went on sale for $1600, so Crutchfield is crediting my charge card back $300. Pros: + Setup + Smart TV interface + picture quality + price Cons: - remote - 3D TV (gimmick) 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung Sixty Incher Written By whittler36, Denton, Texas on Sunday, November 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced a 4 year old Sony 52 with this Samsung 7100 60 inch. The picture is wonderful.We have a Polk home theater surround sound (purchased Crutchfield). It rattles the walls. Sooooooooo good, we would buy another one. Worked great out of the box. Had to tweak the color a little to our personal viewing desire. Pros: Ease of use, clear, multiple capabilities, wife likes it, Cons: none 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN60F7100 Written By Bruce, Pottsville, Pa on Thursday, September 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I chose this tv as a replacement to my 11 year old Sony 57" projection Tv. When I first removed it from the box, I was amazed at how thin it was compared to my old projection set. When I plugged it in "OMG", were my first words I was so impressed by the improved picture. I have been enjoying this Tv for the past six (6) weeks and have no regrets. The money was well spent. I would highly recommend Crutchfield for any and all of your electronic needs. Tech support and sales are first rate, very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. Pros: Easy ethernet (wi-fi) connection, picture is beautiful, crisp and sharp. Cons: None other than Web surfing would be much improved with a keyboard. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By JC, Fresno, CA on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We chose this tv as an upgrade to our existing Sharp Aquos display. When we first took it out, we were amazed at how thin it was. About 75% thinner. Then we mounted it on the wall and plugged it in. "Wow", was the first word that why wife said. We were so impressed by the markedly improved picture. After setting up and calibrating, we tried out a 3d bluray and were blown away once again. There was definite depth and the picture was very fluid. We have been enjoying this tv for the past month and have no regrets. The money was well spent. Though I do agree that the picture is slightly better with the 8000 series, I still think a person will get more bang for their buck purchasing the Samsung 7100 series tv. Pros: User friendly control. Wifi connectability. Clear picture. Awesome color, clarity, and for the first realistic shadows. Great contrast. Cons: None that we've seen. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Picture Written By Buzzz, NC on Monday, July 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)

Yes No Wow is what comes to mind Written By tsmith, Virginia on Monday, June 10, 2013 Stepping up from a lower product line CFL Samsung, this blows it out of the water. The panels in the 60 inch size are made by Sharp, which had me only slightly concerned. After a demo in store and a conversation with sales, we came to the conclusion that whatever Samsung does to these units makes all the difference - the total package (image) is much better than the comparable sharp models. I'm not a videophile by any stretch of the imagination, but the clarity, brightness etc are all way above a CFL model. I'm sure some will say this is too bright, but there are infinite setting changes and once I spent 30 minutes of quality time with it, the picture is right on par with what I would have expected to cost twice as much. I'm sold and its not going back. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield was a GREAT help to get my surround sound Yamaha receiver to sync. Very happy. Will use Smart TV features in the future. Pros: It has anything I can think of and lots I did not think of. Cons: expensive 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Samsung UN60F7100 Written By Anonymous, Orlando, FL on Saturday, June 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I started out wanting a TV with good image quality, but got excited about the Smart features. Fewer remotes, better integration of features within TV set. In the end, I'm back to a separate internet streaming device and a universal remote, and the TV is back to a display-only device. Although it *can* control your receiver and set the remote to control the volume of your external speakers, it won't turn it on without a myriad of menus each time. And guess what I found out?!? The digital audio output from the TV is only 2-channel! Back to the separate internet box. Get this: you can adjust the volume for your receiver (from the TV remote) while in the Netflix app, but it refuses while using Hulu. Back to the separate internet box (and universal remote). The allshare software needed on your PC to share content from your computer looks like it has a virus and won't install. Other DLNA software appears to work but the TV won't play very many file formats. Back to the separate internet box. If Samsung offered a 240 Hz display without the Smart features, that would be a much better choice. At best, it's a pretty great display. But don't get fooled by the smart tv integration. I expected much better. Oh: as for image quality, it looks great, but there is this "cartoonish" look to the motion in some material that I just can't put my finger on. Someone else mentioned this about the UN60F7500 too, so here's another data point. Pros: Good picture quality, love the thin bezel Cons: Smart TV features a big disappointment 19 out of 21 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great TV Written By Dbark, Wyoming on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This TV is our second Samsung and we did lots of looking and research before this purchase. We still think that the Samsung picture is the best we looked at. We went with the. 60" and are glad we did, the pictUre is really clear and even the channels that are not HD. We tried a 55" Samsung and purchased it from a different retailer when our other one bit the dust and besides the non HD channels looking really fuzzy we would have the tv just go to a black screen with no audio and the only way you could get it to come back was to shut it off and turn it back on so we took it back. Our last Samsung was purchased from Crutchfield and so I went back to Crutchfield again and got the newer model and went to a 60". We are very pleased with our purchase and very pleased with Crutchfield. Dont mind the silver bezel and stand as it matches the stand we have it on so now I don't have to go buy another to match. Haven't had a chance to try the 3D yet so will do that soon and if that works well I will leave a five star on this review. I did purchase a two year warranty also just because the products nowadays seem to not last as long or have issues.

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 uses a proprietary algorithm that adjusts brightness and contrast in select parts of the screen based on the image being displayed. This system provides provides a more natural color representation with ultra-sharp blacks, deeper reds & greens, and brighter whites. 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 720: 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.

"If you picture those days [ the '60s], most white artists just stood there and played. Elvis Presley was an exception, Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones were an exception. But most white artists stood there and performed and that was fine. Most of the black artists, they were real performers, very exciting, and The Rascals performed like a black band. They were the first 'blue-eyed soul' band, which was very influential to us."

Summer's here, and it's been 6 months since cancer-causing methyl iodide was approved for use in California agriculture. It's only been in the past few weeks, however, that we've actually seen this incredibly dangerous chemical used in the fields of California.
Late last month, a farm in Sanger became the first in California to use the fumigant pesticide. Neighboring communities responded with a rally and demonstration outside the Fresno County Agriculture Commissioner's office, demanding public health protections based on sound science, not corporate influence. "Today's message to all California regulators is clear: Do your job, protect public health and support farmers' transition away from toxic pesticides" said Sarah Sharpe, environmental health director of Fresno Metro Ministry.
It was chile peppers, not strawberries, that saw the first use of cancer-causing methyl iodide to sterilize California soil. And today, community leaders from Fresno and throughout the Central Valley gathered at the Fresno County Agricultural Commissioner's office to urge officials to stop any future use of the chemical in their community.
On May 13th, the country's top scientists and 200,000+ ordinary people urged EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to prioritize scientific evidence over corporate influence and ban the cancer-causing pesticide methyl iodide. Called "one of the most toxic chemicals on earth" by Dr. John Froines, the chair of California's scientific review of the chemical, methyl iodide is promoted by Arysta LifeScience — the largest privately-held pesticide company in the world.
Strawberries were on the agenda at the recent Social Justice Summit hosted by Cal State Fullerton. In a lively workshop entitled Strawberry Fields Forever: Pesticides and Environmental Injustice in California, students developed strategies to roll back the controversial fumigant pesticide methyl iodide.
More than 35 California legislators, including Speaker of the Assembly John Pérez, submitted a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency urging policymakers to "suspend and cancel all uses of iodomethane (methyl iodide) in the United States…" on April 4, 2011.

The only one I question is 'gruesome.' If Jan is a homicide detective, her work might be gruesome, but 'gruesome' and 'weary' don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. But--who knows? Maybe she is!
glorybee wrote:Shann, you're absolutely right about the -er and -est endings. I'm sure Ann will cover those when she gets to adjectives in her grammar class, but I'm glad to see them brought up here, too! It never hurts to see those grammar rules repeated.
OldManRivers wrote:Jan, great thread going here.
The conversation stirred an idea, tangential though it might be. I always find those moments in writing when I am trying to CHOOSE between this word or that word. I thought it might be both fun and helpful to take sentences we are writing and then have feedback over which word is best to use and why.
As an example ... "As I left the light of the village, I became aware of how HEAVY/THICK the night air in these parts could be."
I would choose HEAVY BECAUSE ...
I would choose THICK because ...
As another alternative, I might use the word ...

Exhausted, Jan plodded into her home after an endless day at work. Slipping off her shoes at the door, she dragged herself into the kitchen for an icy soda and, perhaps, some leftover cake.
"Ow!" Lifting her foot, she discovered a Lego embedded in her tender heel, a leftover from her nephew's visit the day before.

I looked up the term jargon and got the dictionary definition: "1. a: confused unintelligible language; b: a strange, outlandish, or barbarous language or dialect." Yup. That sounds about right.
The airline industry is full of acronyms and jargon. We throw terms such as RASM, CASM, and PRASM around as if they are household words. And then there is my favorite, the crack spread (the difference between the price of crude oil and petroleum products extracted from it, such as gasoline and jet fuel). Add that to the long list of U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation, Transportation Security Administration, and Department of Homeland Security terms, and it's almost as if we need a separate dictionary just to decipher the code.
The audit profession has its own language as well. We have comfort letters, detective controls, GAAP and GAAS, SOX, PCAOB (aka, peek-a-boo), and the risk of incorrect rejection — although one might argue that this last term is also often used when girlfriends get together over a bottle of wine to gab.
So, I've decided to experiment by replacing all of the jargon in our latest audit report with "plain English." Too bad the audit was titled GSE.

By now, you've probably looked at the weather report, only to find that alert for 10 inches of snow, right? Bah. Thanks, January. But, really, it's just another day of trekking through the arctic, desperately trying not to slip in that slushy mess. Still, no matter how hard you try, you always seem to find yourself landing on your keister at least once every year. So, chances are you need some trusty footwear (those ankle booties and ballet flats just aren't going to cut it) that'll transport you from your front door to everywhere else without that weather-related injury.
Well, fortunately for you, we culled 25 functional-yet-stylish snow boots that'll get you through this blustery season without any accidental falls. In fact, these beauties are so good, you may just wish for another six weeks of winter — despite what that groundhog might tell us in February.

Gallery: Magnificent Revolution's Pop-Up Cycle-In Cinema Runs on Pedal ...
Magnificent Revolution started in 2007 and is a not-for-profit education project based in London dedicated to guiding people towards positive solutions and low carbon lifestyles. They use bicycle power generators as an educational tool in schools, colleges and communities to show how human power can be used to create energy. After a considerable amount of research and testing, the organization has perfected the art of pedal power and regularly offers clinics for children and adults on bike generators. Their website also offers a detailed set of DIY instructions for how to set up your own bike-powered generation system.
One of their more successful projects is the Cycle-In Cinema, a fun and active event where audience members provide all the power needed to watch a movie, screening or other such film. Magnificent Revolution partners with other organizations to host screenings at various locations around London. Some of the screenings, like last week's at Hackney City Farm with The Labyrinth are fun and light hearted, while others are dedicated to a specific theme. Magnificent Revolution provides the energy generators and with 8 bikes and 16 legs, an audience can power a 4000 Lumen projector and 500W of audio equipment. Treats and drinks are sourced from local and sustainable vendors and all events are free, except you have to work for them.
For future screenings and events, follow Magnificent Revolution via Facebook.

Kanye West Ticket Info
Kanye West got his start in the music industry as a producer. Jay-Z knew he had found one of the next big stars when the Chicago native began creating beats for some of H.O.V.'s biggest albums. Kanye's work on Jay's classic album, The Blueprint is still considered among the most innovative and well-crafted works by a rap producer in history. However, West knew he had more to bring to the table than just his talents on the boards.
Although Kanye was nearly killed in a horrific car accident prior to his '04 debut album, The College Dropout, that didn't stop him from rapping. His classic track, "Through The Wire," was recorded when Ye had his mouth wired shut after his car crash. The College Dropout received very favorable reviews and propelled Kanye to the forefront of hip-hop, this time as a rapper.
Since then, Kanye has gone on to release several other highly successful commercial albums, including Late Registration, Graduation, 808s & Heartbreak, and his most recent, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy has been nominated for several prominent awards including, most importantly several Grammys.
In '11 Kanye collaborated with his mentor Jay-Z for the highly praised album, Watch The Throne, which also featured Frank Ocean, Beyonce, and Mr. Hudson. Watch The Throne was one of the biggest rap albums of the year, proving once again that Kanye and Jay-Z are at the pinnacle of the hip-hop world.
More recently, Kanye's label G.O.O.D. Music released a collaborative album which featured contributions from all members of the G.O.O.D. Music family. The album's lead single, "Clique" which features Jay-Z and Big Sean quickly became one of the most popular records of the year, reaching number two the US Rap Songs Billboard Chart and receiving frequent radio plays.
You can find a great selection of tickets to all of Kanye West's upcoming performances with the help of GoTickets.

Monday, August 26, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (August 26, 2002) - Head Coach Heather Henson and the East Tennessee State women's soccer team traveled to Gardner-Webb on Sunday for the Buccaneers second and final pre-season scrimmage. The relatively young Lady Bucs battled the rainy weather and the Bulldogs to a 2-2 tie as ETSU continues to prepare for Friday's season-opener at Radford. "This was the first college game experience for our freshmen," Henson noted. "They started off a little nervous, but as the game went on they became more settled." Junior goalkeeper and pre-season All-Southern Conference nominee Heather Sanden (Manassas, Va.) was one such upperclassman to take charge "Heather Sanden did a great job of being vocal on the field in terms of tactical situations," Henson added. "She helped give the team some composure." Gardner-Webb took advantage of ETSU's early game jitters, scoring the first goal of the game at the 9:27 mark. Janelle Appleton (Newland, N.C.) evened the score after a shot by senior Liz Smith (Arden, N.C.) was misplayed by the Bulldog's keeper. It didn't take long for the Bulldogs to regain the advantage, however. Gardner-Webb forward Michelle Vander Vaart snuck a shot passed Sanden to give the hosts a 2-1 lead with less than three minutes remaining in the first half. Sophomore Midfielder Katherine Gentry (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) scored the game equalizer just five minutes into the second half and while the Buccaneer offense failed to produce any more goals, the defense did its part in shutting down the Bulldog attack. Sanden, along with defenders Lena Summers (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Erin Lotzer (Mahtomedi, MN) held the opponents scoreless for the duration of the match. Henson said she is pleased to have Summers and Lotzer back for the 2002 campaign after both players sat out last season with medical redshirts. This week the Bucs will be on the practice field preparing for Radford, but also in the classroom as ETSU begins its fall semester classes. Coach Henson said her number one priority will be to help her players adjust to the first few days of school, but not to forget there's still work to be done. "They know they will be pushed this week," said Henson, "but we also have to work towards Friday's game. We've shown we can put the ball in the back of the net. Now we just need to fine-tune some things."

|Northwest Airlines Logo(s)
I've seen Northwest Airlines planes for many years but I never noticed something peculiar about them until it was pointed out to me a couple of weeks ago.
The logo is obviously a compass marker pointing in the northwest direction when you view the plane from the port (left) side. But if you view the airplane from the starboard side, the logo is suddenly pointing northeast!
Northwest is northwest no matter where it is viewed from. And it is so marked on every compass in the world. Why Northwest Airline chooses to do otherwise on one side of their airplanes is a mystery to me. If anyone knows why, I would appreciate hearing from you. The first one to respond gets a $30 discount voucher toward a stay here.
By the way, Northwest (recently acquired by Delta) flies twice a day between Detroit (DTW) and Burlington VT (BTV). You can see flights from all the airlines into Burlington on the BTV website. There are 45 to 50 flights a day into Burlington from 12 airports in 10 cities.

LANGLEY AIR FORCE BASE, Va. — The annual Combined Federal Campaign, responsible for raising $258.3 million for charities in 2012, has been suspended across the Department of Defense due to the partial government shutdown.
Susan Yarwood, the director of the DOD's CFC campaign said in a memorandum that a legal review of the charity drive found it to be inappropriate and not an excepted activity. Employees may still initiate a donation through the MyPay accounting system, where other allotments and retirement contributions are controlled individually.
The DOD began its drive days before the partial federal shutdown began. No public fundraising activities or promotion of the CFC will be allowed in the Continental United States until a continuing resolution or federal budget funding government activities is approved, the memo said.
"We look forward to a quick return and the resumption of a vigorous campaign to help those people who rely upon local, national and international charities," the memo stated.
The DOD runs CFC publicity with several echelons of volunteer support staff, who organize by service, command and base level one-on-one contact. Nearly every work center in nationwide has a volunteer CFC representative assigned to it. They are charged with providing coworkers with materials needed to make contributions to nonprofit charities, which register with the CFC.
Federal, postal and military service members are eligible to contribute to the CFC. Size, frequency and specific charity are selected by the contributing individual, benefiting local, national and international charities.
