Update: Is there a new entry to the Moto G series coming soon? Possibly. We've got all the Moto G5 news and rumours right here, and we might see it at MWC 2017.
I've reviewed a lot of flagships phones this year, like the Samsung Galaxy S7 and iPhone 7, but there isn't a better deal out there than the Moto G4 2016. And it's only £169. The budget phone of choice for many, and three-time TrustedReviews Budget Phone of the Year winner, has received an update. And while it's now officially a Lenovo phone, the magical combination of performance, features and value hasn't been lost.It's fast, has a great camera for the cost, a bright screen and Nexus-like software. I do have some reservations about the size, but honestly every other affordable phone maker should be worried. Seriously worried.
This item is currently on sale , meaning you could bag a bargain. Check out our Black Friday deals for more savings, and get a deal on the Moto G 2016 below:

The Moto G has never been a flashy phone. It's grounded, durable and functional. It also has to meet a substantially low price, so unnecessary extras and luxuries have to be ditched.
It's still made mostly of plastic, but it far outweighs its £169 price-tag. The front is simple and clean, with no branding and no buttons of any sort. There's the smallest hint of flair with a silver-rimmed speaker opening at the top, but that's it.

The metal frame adds some quality and strength to the mix, but I'd like some tougher, less plasticky, buttons. The volume and standby keys on the sides require a good hit of force and they're a bit mushy, but I'm being overly picky – they're still perfectly functional.
The rear panel has been a bit divisive in the TrustedReviews office, and I'm not completely a fan. Gone is the heavily ridged, almost rubbery, feel of the 2015 version and it's been replaced by a soft-touch textured plastic. It's grippy, but it feels strange and seems to get oily and greasy very quickly.
The once-iconic 'Moto Dimple' is getting less and less pronounced with every phone. On the original Moto X it was the perfect spot to place your finger, but now it's barely noticeable. Above the batwing logo sits the camera and flash, encased in glass and surrounded by a silver oval.
Like previous Moto Gs, the back pops off to allow some colourful customisation through sold-separately backplates. This is also where you access the microSD card and SIM slots, meaning you don't need an annoying SIM tool to access them. Interestingly, the SIM slot works with both a Micro and a Nano card – a nice touch I haven't seen before.
Even though the back comes off, the battery is firmly attached. Sorry to those of you who love replaceable cells. The Moto G4 has also lost its predecessor's water-resistance powers, though it still should escape a trip through the rain unscathed.
My biggest issue with the Moto G4 is the size of the thing. It's well and truly a phablet, and it's as wide as the iPhone 6S Plus (though not as tall) making it cumbersome to hold unless you have large hands. It's a two-handed phone for sure, and my thumb can't easily move from the top of the screen to the bottom unless I grip it with my palms.
The jump from a 5-inch to a 5.5-inch display is clearly the main factor in this growth, but in doing so I feel it loses some of the mass-market appeal that made the previous iterations so great. It's not heavy or particularly thick, but I have passed it between friends and the vast majority have said it's too big for them.
With Lenovo releasing two versions of the G4 and one boasting a 'Plus' branding, it seems odd they're both 5.5 inches. I'd have much preferred one to stay at a more manageable 5-inch size, or even 4.7-inch, and the other sitting higher above.
Buy Now: Moto G (2016) at Amazon.com from $199
The screen might be large, but it's also fantastic. There isn't anything better out there for the price.
While previous Moto Gs have been stuck at 720p, the G4 bumps it up to Full HD 1080p and it's all the better for it. The LCD panel is bright, colourful and pixels are impossible to pick out. Viewing angles too are fine – obviously not as good as on pricier competition, but great for the mid-range.
It's a very warm panel, with oranges and reds looking particularly rich. This makes it great for videos and it's fantastic for gaming. Whites aren't muddy and while blacks certainly aren't as deep as on an AMOLED panel, they're still very good.
Another point I have noticed about the display is just how precise and sensitive it is – something which you rarely see on more budget offerings. It reacts instantly to my touches and doesn't miss the target. Impressive stuff.
Nope. Just another boring run-of-the-mill bandwagon phablet that will be soon forgotten.
The G4 Plus comes with a fast charger in the box.
Honestly, I'd been waiting and waiting but was really put off by the 5.5 size, Tmobile had a great buy one get one free and I ended up switching to an iPhone SE (my first apple phone) which is 4.0 (from my 1st gen 4.5 inch Moto G) rather than go 4.5 to 5.5 and after the rebate it's still cheaper than what I'd end up paying for the G4.
My upcoming portable media player....
Had mine about a month now. Still have a 5s, but it rarely gets used now, simply because of the size of the moto. Once you get used to the large screen it's a chore to go back to 4".
The display is fantastic, the sound is fine, and the o/s is great. If only it had nfc.
Please don't buy MOTO G Any generation mobile because they are having inserted very low quality motherboard and after few days usage of your mobile, you start getting hanging phone more frequently and one day it will cost 80% of your mobile due to mother board issue and need to replacement completely which would be too much costlier better if you purchase new one. I am having bad experience with my moto g 3rd gen which need to throw in dust bean after one year merely usage with very careful.
I have used every gen of Moto g now on g4 plus never had any problems my grandson has my 2nd and 3rd gen both working perfectly
the above response is complete garbage
My daughter has had a moto g 1st gen for 2 years never had an issue with it and her phone is literally superglued to her hand 24/7
Son had a G2 for a year and only just replaced as he dropped it and it was run over by a car, asked him what phone he wanted and he wanted the G3 over the G4
For the cost of the phone the spec is amazing in the Moto G lineup and imo the G3 looks a feels better than the G4, but the G4 has the bigger screen so I guess it is what suits your taste
Personally I use an LG G3 and still haven't really felt the need to update to a newer phone as mine does everything I want with no issues whatsoever
imo when you buy tech, always look at reviews ( preferably independent) and what is under the hood/shell rather than looking at the badge on the back/front :)
Thank you Motorola for your exceedingly CUSTOMER UNFRIENDLY services. This was possibly the best and one of a kind service that I wouldn't even wish for my enemy. Mobiles phones were made to make life easier, but I guess the Motorola Company had different plans for its customers by giving them the ultimate experience of hell because of their one unforgivable mistake: Buying a Motorola phone.
The trauma began for me when my phone's screen broke in June 2016. I went to the Moto service station to get it repaired. Little did I know then that this is just the beginning. After the screen was repaired, there were problems in the jack, display, sensor, to name a few. This time when I went to complain at the service station, it took me around 7 to 8 trips to get my phone back from them. Even after that, there are still issues with the screen. I again gave my phone at the service centre for repairing on 12th August, 2016. 10 to 15 calls to the main service centre (1800-102-2344), and all I was told was that I would be given an update about the same. More than 20 days passed and there was NO 'UPDATE'. On enquiring from the service centre where I had given my phone, I was told that they did not receive any notification from the main service centre.
Just to inform you, because of all this hassle, I had to miss my lectures, got delayed in submitting my assignment, which resulted in low marks. Not to forget all the time and energy I wasted on your EXCELLENT AND UNIQUE services. I believe that your company has found a very creative way to harass your customers and drive them away from making any future transactions with you.
Yours sincerely
Totally fed up customer

I'm with OnyX and caroline below. My various Moto Gs have been great, and when I have upgraded to a newer generation and handed on the older model, that has kept going just fine.
Total rubbish, my first Moto G is still going after I gave it to a friend in Africa (and he works on a farm so it has a truly hard life). My second is a G4 and has never missed a step.
I've had my Moto G phone now since 2013 and it works better than most iPhones after a year.
I'm planning to buy Moto G4 Plus, but i'm a bit hesitant about the whole hybrid sim slot where you can either have 2 sims and no microSD or 1 sim and 1 microSD. Can anyone please tell me if this is one of those phones?
My Name Is Abhijit , I have bought Moto G4plus on 5th july 2016 after 15 days it giving trouble from then till now i am just going to service center again again but there is no response. Very poor service . I suggest do not buy Any phone Moto & Lenovo...
"Thing is, you'll need to provide your own supported charger to receive these times, as Lenovo doesn't supply a suitable one in the box."
This must be a UK model thing; my USA version came with a Motorola turbo-charger (120v/60Hz) included.
Had the MOTO G for 12 months, no issues, nice phone. No dust bean for my phone :)
great review but the focusing in on the phones got annoying
I literally just got mine today and i fuckin LOVE IT! One of the best investments i ever made. . . damn near like shoplifting, lol. But no really, if u want all the features of an iphone and the buck of a Galaxy, I can truly say I have the best of both and more. I could not believe they only wanted $200! :-). Pick it up to light it up, chop it to turn on ur flashlight, turn it over for dnt disturb. No tricks, I definitely choose "treat" this year.
Mine came with a charger !
I have Moto G4 and my problem with it is that it takes 5 hours to fully charge, this is with the supplier charger. What is your experience with the charging?
Date: 23 Nov 2016. Déja-vu, all over again.
I'm looking forward to Moto G5
Not compatible with Android auto, never mentioned in reviews. For me this has turned it in to an expensive piece of junk, Avoid
Lol! Spontaneous outbursts? Did u actually get away w/ that. Ppl would think i was crazy. Yea, my phone never charges fast enough for me, lol. I'm a fuckin tech head. I gotta get an OtterBox for it. I spoil my phones.
buy a turbo charger

Bought a different blower/vac/mulcher in May 2012. It lasted 4 weeks (4 uses) and would not turn on. Thank goodness that Walmart makes it so easy to return unusable items.
Bought this Sun Joe unit in June and so far so good. Have used it 4 times and it's still going.
The design on this unit is much better in my opinion:
There's one tube that stays in place for both blower and vac with a switch that changes direction of airflow. The position of the tube is the same as that of just a blower. The ergonomics of this design is much easier to use even though this unit is a little heavier than the Greenworks. The tube diameter is a little smaller which makes it easier to get into bushes to suck out debris. Because of the smaller diameter, the suction is greater which is a problem on landscape gravel. However, this unit has variable speed control (as did the Greenworks) providing customized suction. The smaller diameter tube also allows for more powerful blower airflow.
The bag hangs from the bottom of the unit, so there's no having to hang it over your shoulder.
Overall, I'm much more pleased with the ergonomics and ease of use with this unit. If it will last at least 2 years, I'll be thrilled!
While it took a while from purchase to delivery, I was amazed at how wonderfully this picked up leaves. I have a large rocked area in front of my home that accumulates leaves. It took be about 1 1/2 hours but I did a great job of removing the leaves. I will have to say that I wish that the stem had an additional attachment about 1/2 as long to add to the existing. I am tall and have to bend over a bit and that can be hard on your back. It was actually easier on the rocked area than it was on the grassed area but overall it did a great job. I would highly recommend this!
Good product. I had purchased a Toro because of Consumer Reports' ratings, but the disassembly/reassembly to change from blowing to vacuuming was tedious. The Sun Joe accomplishes this switch with the flip of a lever. The blowing velocity is just less than the Toro's, and the vacuuming c.f.m. is above the Toro's. Variable speed feature is nice. The unit digests leaves nicely, and the cloth bag seems pretty sturdy. My only complaint is the unit runs a bit loudly.
My biggest fear was accidentally sucking up the hickory nuts that lie under leaves on our decks, but that didn't happen. Yay! The next challenge involved vacuuming up leaves on landscaping pebbles, but since these aren't pea-sized rocks, no problem. My only issue thus far is the weight of the blower/vacuum--the wheels, however, make a huge difference.
The blower works about as well as I expected; not as good as a gas powered unit but still very good. The shredder was better than expected. It quickly sucks up leaves an chops then into mulch. I filled 1 trash bag with mulch and I think it would easily have filled 4 bags if it was not mulched. Given the low price, it's a very good value.
this item was very good at performing task that were listed. Blower was excellent and vacuum did a great job mulching the leaves. The only issue I would have is the blower/vacuum is a little bulky and gets heavy when it's full. Smaller people may have issues using.
I love it, but it's a bit heavier than expected. I haven't decided to keep it or not.
I'll try it one more time. I'm elderly and disabled, so it may not be an issue for
the average person.
Product is a little heavy, and it vibrates a lot when at the highest speed - other than those two points, I like the unit and would recommend it.
It does have good suction power and blowing power.For me it is to heavy and way to bulky.
So sorry to hear that you're having an issue with our product. We take each matter very seriously and want to make sure you are happy. At Snow Joe + Sun Joe we stand behind each product we manufacture. Our toll-free number is 866-766-9563 (M-F 9-6EST and Sunday 9-4EST). We promise to do our best to make sure you are satisfied 100%. Thanks, Andres.
This this only lasted 15 minutes in light work. Cheaply built
On a positive note: My local Walmart(Payson AZ) refunded my money with no questions
would not recommend until new replacement arrives and last longer than 3 uses.
Added bulk for quick change feature bonus. For blower use I prefer lighter single purpose units. Vacuum does job well. Switch lever is easy. A real plus when you need blower. The bag appears small, but weight drives dumping often anyway. It is right size, easy to attach/remove, and does not impair in tight spots around plants. The bag side zipper is well suited to trash bins. Conveniently set unit on top of open can, rotate like BBQ spit, unzip, empty, and zip shut at convenient height. The pickup is relatively non clogging. Avoids common twig material jams at impeller inlet.
it was easy to put together and works great!!!
We have used the blower twice and it works great and is easy to use. Love the different speeds that you can use. Vacumns and shredds great as well. Would definately recommend this to a friend!
The item works well on both modes, however, I hadn't expected it to be so heavy.
I like the fact that you don't have to change the hoses in order to switch from vacuum to blower.
Got clogged with thin twig twice the first time I used it. Had to unscrew chute with Phillips head (twice) to unclog and get it to work. the second time it just broke and wouldn't vacuum.
I bought an electric thinking it would be lighter than gas but this blower is very heavy.
great product and a great price. all I could ask for.
the product is excellent..
excellent buy for money

N.Y. Gasoline Falls as Europe-U.S. Cargoes Seen ClimbingChristine Harvey
New York Harbor gasoline weakened versus futures as the flow of cargoes from Europe to the U.S. was set to climb.
Twenty-three tankers were chartered to load gasoline in the two weeks to March 13, one more than in the two weeks ended March 6, according to the median estimate in a Feb. 27 survey of seven shipbrokers and traders specializing in the market. The ships, known as medium-range tankers, would be able to carry about 7.2 million barrels, according to the survey.
Reformulated, 84-octane gasoline, or RBOB, in New York Harbor retreated 0.25 cent to 23.5 cents below futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 3:45 p.m.
The ships will transport product to the U.S. East Coast, where gasoline supplies grew 264,000 barrels to 59.8 million barrels in the week ended Feb. 22, an Energy Information Administration report showed last week. Imports to the region increased 48,000 barrels to 495,000 barrels during the same period, the EIA said.
"We were surprised at the increase in imports," and "anticipate a further slight increase over the next two weeks before the full effect of European turnaround season affects flow," Energy Analytics Group Ltd. said in a note March 3.
The 3-2-1 crack spread in New York Harbor, a measure of refining profitability for gasoline and diesel fuel based on Brent oil in Europe, rose 51 cents to $13.62 a barrel.

Had lunch at this Chinese Restaurant which is close to my office. The food is reasonable and constant but nothing remarkable. My favorite is the Moo Shu Pork which is very good. The service is usually attentive and food is well priced. Its very convenient for people visiting downtown Leesburg.
They've been a Chinese Food icon in Leesburg for so many years. They are consist in their product and service is great. Highly recommend.
I have to say it's great to be able to walk downtown and grab some yummy Chinese food. The Resturant is small and crowded, but the food is good and I usually carry it back to my office.
Touristing in the DC area, walking around historic Leesburg, and heading back to the hotel near Dulles. Stopped in to get some carry-out. These China King people were friendly and courteous. The fried rice was perfect, just the way it should be. The best I've ever had, perhaps, although there is a rival in San Francisco. Hoping they will open... More
Small family owned business. Wide selection of chinese and some Thai dishes. I asked for some hot tea and received a very large pot to enjoy for the entire meal. My table ordered Kung Pao shrimp and pork with string beans seczhaun - both were nice and spicy and lots of flavor. Seemed a little heavy on the sweetness. Maybe... More
We love to order here because the food is great and because when you order out, you can order for one and there is enough for 3 people. Our go-to is the General Tso Chicken and it has a lot of kick to it. It is perfectly located in historic downtown.
A very small, but clean restaurant. The food was excellent and the prices extremely reasonable. Family owned and extremely friendly atmosphere. The bulk of their business is take-out, but, what few inside tables they have are very well placed and plenty of room. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great value and right in the heart of Historic Leesburg. Great classical... More
China King is the very first Chinese restaurant in Leesburg. When I visited Leesburg back in 1981 (when Leesburg was a very small town the Loudoun County was nothing but a rural county with farm land), I saw this place and wonder how they got started. Now I work in Leesburg, I get to go to this place a lot.... More
We came here for a family dinner on a saturday night. Definitely noticed that it was different from other chinese restaurants weve been to. Great food, clean, great staff and great service. Super cozy environment and perfect experience overall.

Nice trail right off Natchez Trace not far from Fall Hollow Falls. Actually helped build this trail several years ago.
Nice day hike. And even the dog liked it.
Awesome hike with lots of scenery!!
Took the family it was a great hike. A little heavy on the bug in the summer.
Nice short hike with some decent inclines. A couple of cool little waterfalls at the bottom. A really sweet yellow and black millipede walking along the trail. Not a lot of frills, just a good clean and primitive hike.
Rocky, thorn pants lining the trail. We found ticks on ourselves and our dogs after the trip. Won't be visiting this one again. Great for someone who just wants to look at nature and isn't bothered by the negatives. No waterfall on the trail. You have to go to the falls overlook, different entry point
Beautiful trail, but was expecting to see a waterfall. There was a tumbling creek halfway that was very serene
This trail was great exercise! It worked my legs with the uphill & downhill paths. Yet, it was easy enough for our 7 children to get through. We were so excited to find the creek with water tumbling over rocks & teensy swimming holes at the end. My children had the whole area to themselves. They did not want to leave!
I'm just starting to hike as a hobby. I have done this trail 3 times in the past 5 weeks. It has a good terrain change to make it challenging and when the trail gets to the bottom of the hollow it is a perfect rest stop by the stream. The first two times I visited, I was the only person there. The second time I saw hoof prints where someone had been riding the trail on horseback. The last time, though, I ran into several other hikers, even "rescuing" a family that got off the trail and could not find it. I had also wandered off the trail by accident, but was aware of it and they followed me back to the last marked tree I could recall seeing. Yay me! So, to summarize: good trail, nice babbling brook at the bottom, not too many other visitors.
Not a lot of water but still a decent hike
The creek was a wonderful find! The terrain was great and varied. When we got there, we were the only people there, which was great. The dogs had a great hike and they loved being able to stop and lay in the creek in the middle of our hike. But I wouldn't say there were "waterfalls" on this trail, just places where the creek tumbles over some small rocks, but the sounds were wonderful!
Nice trail but there have been a lot of trees blown down lately, many across the trail. One was particularly difficult to navigate due to all the briars. Enjoyed the walk along the creek, water was crystal clear. Make sure to check you and the dogs for ticks post hike.
I hiked this trail a few years back and absolutely loved it. I am planning to hike it again soon. It is close to my home location. A short drive. Love the woods. The loop is not that hard and the serenity of the hike makes it very pleasant and peaceful. Will take photo's on my next hike there coming up within the next month.
This is a nice little trail which is easy enough for even small children. There are no strenuous areas.
Pretty Trail. My little guys (5 and 7) got a little tired, but ended up doing fine. Nice 3 mile loop off the Natchez Trace!
Really enjoy this trail. It's very peaceful and quiet.

Electric utilities have continued to provide investors with reliable income in an era of low market yields.

Despite the overall market's swings from risk-on to risk-off in response to a slow U.S. recovery, Europe's ongoing crisis and the Fed's decision to hold rates at extraordinarily low levels, electric utilities have continued to provide solid total returns for growth-and-income investors seeking lower volatility.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri
Book DescriptionOrphaned at an early age and taken in by her young aunt Dete, Heidi is soon in the way. Dete has a new and better job where Heidi is not welcome, so the child must live with her curmudgeon of a grandfather high on the Alm Mountain in the Swiss Alps. Everyone calls him the Alm-Uncle because he never comes down to the village, even in the coldest winter, and he's developed a reputation as an evil, godless old hermit. But Heidi soon finds that things are not always what others say they are, makes friends with the Alm-Uncle, and happily runs wild in the glorious mountains with the goat boy, Peter, and his goats. Suddenly, Dete appears again, and Heidi finds herself confined in a stone house in a stone city where she is expected to be companion to the invalid Clara. Dete sees this as a great opportunity for Heidi, one that will provide her with an education and polish. But, bitterly unhappy away from her grandfather and the outdoor life she has grown to love, Heidi at last makes her way back to the Alm. How Klara finally comes to the mountains as well, and the surprising events that follow, form the heartwarming ending to a story that has been loved for generations by children all over the world.

BeschreibungWhen Rigg and Ari hunt a wolf in medieval Greenland, their skill and courage are pitted against wily adversaries, with the survival of their people at stake.
PortraitTom Henighan is an expert on Viking lore and Norse mythology. His previous books include "The Well of Time" (1988), shortlisted for the Seal First Novel Award; the initial volume of the "Rigg" series, "Viking Quest" (2001), presently being turned into an animated feature film; and "Mercury Man" (2004), available from Dundurn.
Pressestimmen'Tom Henighan's Viking Terror ... is an immediate thrill, a teen romp in the wilds of medieval Greenland." -- Beverley Brenna -- Star Phoenix, Oct 21, 2006 "It's main appeal will be to readers with an interest in medieval Viking culture." -- Kathleen Beck -- VOYA, Feb 2007 "Henighan builds one peril upon another in a carefully mounting ascent. Through minor puzzles ... he opens the door to the possibility of magic before unleashing Freydis's horrors later in the story. He has the same discreet approach to character." -- Paul Butler -- The Globe and Mail, Sept 9, 2006

Cosy room, friendly staff, great location.Eamon Gormley - Australia (July, 2016)
So glad we stayed here! Lovely clean rooms and wonderful hosts. The breakfast was exceptional. We had come from The Fitzwilliam in Dublin and were headed to Glenlo Abbey in Galway.. 5 star places. We were as pleased with the Kingfisher. Great location as we could walk into Killarney town for dinner - even our 75 year old Mom with a sore back enjoyed the short walk. I was glad I followed the review on Trip Advisor and booked with them.Catherine Byrne - United States (July, 2016)
Stayed at Kingfisher with my husband and two friends this past weekend. Excellent on all fronts and everyone so welcoming and willing to help in any way. Breakfast was just wonderful and our rooms were so well prepared and so clean. Could not recommend highly enough and it's location is just amazing-two minutes to town centre. Thank you all for making our stay so pleasurable.Cathy Burns - Ireland (July, 2016)
Communication was good before my arrival, and check in was easy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The house is conveniently located to the major tourist areas, and it was easy to get to from the major driving routes. The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. All of the facilities are as advertised and shown in the photos.Raymond Williams - United States (June, 2016)
I can honestly say this is the best B&B I have ever stayed in. I was warmly welcomed at reception and advised of some top tips to stop and do along the way. I had booked a single room but was upgraded to a twin that was very spacious and very clean and super comfortable. The breakfast was much like that of a 5 star hotel and once again, I was warmly welcomed in the morning with smiles and the offer of tea and coffee. There were options of cooked or continental breakfasts - amazing and delicious in a beautiful room filled with natural light looking onto the gardens outside. The location was perfect for driving the Ring of Kerry. Thank you so very much for the quality night sleep and great start to my day!Mj - France (June, 2016)
Good place to stay and good location since it was walking distance to Killarney center. It is also a great location for touring that area of Ireland.Jonathan Kelly - United States (June, 2016)
Great location. Very nice atmosphere. Delicious breakfast. Clean and well prepared rooms. You do not need more. :-Tomasz P. - Poland (May, 2016)
Excellent, friendly guest houseRay Wallace - Ireland (May, 2016)
Nicely appointed room, though without much of a view Room 8. Clean, well-stocked bathroom. Very warm welcome and helpful, informative hosts. Excellent breakfasts. Altogether a pleasant stay. My only criticism would be that I was not offered the option of paying in Euros or GBP when leaving on my UK credit card. I would have preferred to pay in Euros, but the machine automatically converted to pounds and there was no way of changing this once done. Hence, I got a much poorer exchange rate than I would have if I had simply paid in Euros on my card. Not a deal breaker, but an annoying end to what was otherwise an enjoyable hotel experience.Geoff Langridge - United Kingdom (April, 2016)
Brilliant stay, comfortable quiet room, great breakfast and lovely owners and staff. Location is just a short walk from Killarney centre for shops, bars and live music. Dont miss the white pudding mmmmmm!Gordon Stewart - United Kingdom (April, 2016)
Our first experience in an Irish B&B, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The landlady was nice, competent and always ready to help.J.-u. Hartmann - Germany (April, 2016)
Great place to stay! Very nice rooms and lodge. Clean and cozy place. Incredibly friendly staff and owners...went way out of their way consistently to provide recommendations, answers to questions, etc. Great people. Perfect location....quick walk to the main restaurants, shops and pubs, but quiet location and good if you have a car. I will definitely go here again if I return to the area.Scott Goetz - United States (October, 2015)
Our stay at Kingfisher was very enjoyable. The accommodations were lovely, the breakfasts delicious. The proprietors were so helpful giving us ideas of places to go, and directions for getting there. We thoroughly enjoyed Killarney and the surrounding area, and the ability to walk to town each evening.Christina Young - United States (October, 2015)
This is a lovely B&B. I travelled solo and my "single" room was very spacious, beauttifully decorated, and with a bright, roomy bathroom. The shower was great! And the hosts made an excellent breakfast: very fresh and flavorful. The B&B location was conveniently located to the town center, but on a quieter side street. Would highly recommend!Julia Campbell - United States (October, 2015)
We loved it!Jennifer Fitzsimons - United States (October, 2015)
We stayed here for two nights as part of our honeymoon. It was a absolutely lovely place to stay with a great location close to the pubs and restaurants downtown. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice quiet place to stay.Ingrid Paine - United States (September, 2015)
Our stay at Kingfisher Lodge B&B was nothign less than superb. It is a luxury B&B whit a very good location. The room was spacious, very very clean and breakfast very tastful and there is a great choice. Staff was very serviceminded, polite and friendly. The host gave us some very good advice what to see and experience in beautiful County Kerry. Much recommendable.Eva Larsen - Denmark (September, 2015)
Very nice B&B with very good breakfast. Only a 5 min. walk to the city. Kind hosts with good tips. We had a great room, everything was very clean and lovely arranged.Caroline - Germany (September, 2015)
We were there for 4 days and we enjoyed a lot our stay. Bedroom were very nice, the breakfast was good and the attention of all the staff was excellent. They helped us with the activities we wanted to do visiting the area.Jose Maria - Spain (September, 2015)
Staying at Kingfisher was quite good! The location is good, not far from the station. The room was sunny and clean and was cleaned everyday. The breakfast was so nice. Every morning I enjoyed the meal. They were so kind. They're always ready to help me to get information and booking a tour. I really appreciated staying at Kingfisher. I strongly recommend.Hyekyung Min - Korea, Republic Of (August, 2015)
What a lovely stay! Very helpful and friendly hosts, a comfortable and clean room, and a tasty breakfast! Even a short walk to the town center. It couldn't have been better. In four weeks of travel, it is one of my favorite stays.Elizabeth M - United States (August, 2015)
Thank you for all your attentionsEster Vitale - Italy (July, 2015)
Couldn't ask for any more during my recent stay at The Kingfisher Lodge B&B. I was down in Killarney with a few friends for a concert and on arrival at the b&b, we got a very warm welcome from the owner. The b&b is situated right in the the town and only a 10 min walk to most shops, pubs and restaurants. The service there was second to none, breakfast was lovely and the beds are very comfortable. I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Killarney and would highly recommend it to anyone travelling to this lovely part of the country anytime soon.K.browne - Ireland (July, 2015)
Very clean, homely and accessible to town. Excellent breakfastBrady - Ireland (July, 2015)
super sejour. propriétaire accueillant. serviable. petit déjeuner. chambre. tout était parfait. b a b à recommander.Poirier - France (June, 2015)
It was just perfect for our stay of three. Breakfast was varied and we all enjoyed the food and service . We wanted somewhere close so we could walk into town and it was just what we had wished for. Our room and cleanliness was excellent.Caron Hoskin - Australia (June, 2015)
If you are touring Ireland, make this the last stop. Because it is so good, whatever comes afterwards, could well be a letdown, no matter how good. Ann and Donal, are very helpful, and welcoming. The bedrooms are spacious, beds great, and everything you need is available in the bathroom. Shower is good, and the quality of everything in the B & B is excellent. Both Ann and Donal are very knowledgeable, and will help you to plan your days, even when going to a different area. The breakfasts were plentiful and tasty. My wife and I were sorry to leave, but would have no hesitation in returning. This is the best B & B , in which we have stayed, and as I mentioned in the title,a lot better than some hotels.Vincent Johnston - United Kingdom (June, 2015)
Kingfisher Lodge is a clean, comfortable guesthouse. There is a friendly welcome. My friend and I enjoyed our stay.Teresa Catcheside - United Kingdom (June, 2015)
We will return, and not only due to the wonderful room and delicious breakfast and most endearing owners and staff!Frederick - United States (June, 2015)
Donal was very accommodating and provided an early breakfast for us since we were leaving very early the next morning. He gave us great advice and guidance. The room was wonderful and very clean. I would have loved to have been able to stay for longer, but it wasn't to be so. Can't recommend it enough.Lynn Johnston - Australia (June, 2015)
It was a nice stay at this well-tended guesthouse. The pleasant owners gave us a lot of hints for interesting trips. The guesthouse location serves as a perfect starting point for trips around the peninsulas and the national park.Linda Miersch - Germany (May, 2015)

We were very pleased with our stay at Kingfisher Lodge. The room was very clean with comfortable bedding. The breakfast was delicious. It was a very short walk to the city center but was far enough away to be very quiet at night.Meriwether Moore - United States (March, 2015)
Stayed there last Saturday 28 Feb 2015. We booked 3 rooms and it was as good as any 4 star hotel. Rooms spotless and modern. 5 min walk to town centre. Great choices for breakfast. Very quiet at night and free parking and wifi. Recommend it highly.Dolores Caffrey - Ireland (March, 2015)
Just back from a lovely stay in the kingfisher guesthouse, we were met by Ann on arrival and looked after really well. The rooms were beautifully presented, clean and fresh. Breakfast was also well presented and plenty of it. Our stay was excellent and we would highly recommend it. Very well located to town centre of Killarney and for travelling around the area.Brenda Byrne - Ireland (March, 2015)

We had a lovely time in Killarney and the Kingfisher was a great base for two nights. Location was great to walk into town for dinner. The only suggestion would be more precise directions on the web site. We got lost trying to find the house. Street names or numbers don't always match with the maps!Tracy - United States (July, 2014)
Was very good,the owners were very helpful give us breakfast at 5am the morning of our ring of Kerry cycle and let us have a shower on our return. Will diffenetly stay again. Brill !!Paddy Sheridan - Ireland (July, 2014)
Excellent. Staff also very cheerful and helpful.Glenn Jackson - United States (June, 2014)
My daughter and I stayed at Kingfisher Lodge in Killarney for three nights and really enjoyed it. We stayed in a private twin bed room which was clean and inviting. The amenities coffee and tea in room plus towels and shampoo, shower gel and lotion were great. Plus, we got a nice, large glass bottle of water everyday. When we came back from a day touring we even got a pitcher of ice water. So nice! The private bathroom and shower were great. The daily free hot breakfast was wonderful. The B & B owners were friendly, and my daughter and I loved interacting with their two dogs! This beautiful B & B is close to everything including the train station! We loved our time at Kingfisher Lodge and would love to return. Killarney is a special place! Thank you for making our stay so memorable and comfortable!David Kelly - Ireland (June, 2014)
Excellent location, Comfortable accommodation, Top quality breakfast. Nice hosts who didn't intrude and gave us our own space, while also being very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and will return myself..David Kelly - Ireland (February, 2014)

We could not have been happier. We are two couples traveling together without a car, spending 6 nights in Killarney at the Kingfisher. Ann and Donal were just wonderful hosts. Always willing to answer questions, offer advice or coordinate a day tour. The other members of the staff were just as friendly, always helpful with a smile. Rooms are large, very clean and the lodge is a very easy walk into the heart of Killarney, so getting to Pubs, restaurants was very easyPreston Hays - United States (July, 2013)

The Four Most Important Questions To Ask A Personal Injury Lawyer
If you have been in an accident that wasn't your fault and want to make a personal injury claim then knowing what to ask a potential personal injury lawyer is vital. Here are the four most important questions you need to ask before you hire someone to work on your behalf.
Are you the person I will deal with throughout my case?
Often, the person who agrees to take your case is not the person who will see it through. Work is often handed down to junior staff and paralegals. These may be perfectly competent, but you need to be sure that there is continuity, and that when you need to you are able to speak directly to the lawyer you hired.
What is your contingency fee and are there any hidden costs?
It is vital to ensure you are aware of any financial outlay from the start. Most personal injury lawyers offer a "contingency fee." This means that they agree to take their fee out of any compensation you are awarded. This amount can vary, but is usually between 25-50%, so make sure that the amount you agree is reflected in the potential size of the award.
Court costs, filing and depositions, some medical investigations and other things are not included in a contingency fee. Make sure you know what might be charged for these and how you are expected to pay. Make sure you know what will be charged before you let the lawyer take your case. Usually, the lawyer will either agree to waive these or to deduct them from the award for the claim. Go for "no win, no fee," and avoid any hidden costs.
Are you experienced in dealing in personal injury cases?
Ask for proof of a good track record. How successful is this particular lawyer? Can they provide references from people who have used them? Are those references from people with claims similar to your own? The more evidence the lawyer provides the surer you can be that they will obtain a successful outcome for you too.
Be sure that you are dealing with and lawyer who specializes in personal injury and not someone who does other things and takes cases like yours on the side.
Have you got time to devote to my case?
Even if the contingency fee is right and the lawyer seems to have a good track record, it is important to be sure they have the time to work on your claim. Be very specific and get them to agree on a time-frame. Sometimes lawyers take on more work than they can handle and put smaller claims on the back burner.
Working The Right Way With Worker's Compensation
When you are involved in an accident at work, you may be entitled to worker's compensation. Certain insurance companies are strict and will not payout over a certain amount. Often, it is better to contact a personal injury lawyer or attorney who specializes in this. They will hear you out, and decide which way you should turn. This will give you the best deal.
How to Benefit from Worker's Compensation
In order to get the most out of this type of compensation, it is also important that you put in the effort. You need to make sure that you report your case as soon as possible. In this way, the evidence will be fresh.
You need to make sure that your injury is caused as a result of the accident at work and that it is hampering you in some way. You should also be able to say that it is forcing you to stay away from your job.
Gather necessary evidence that you may need for someone who is going to help you with your case. This can relate to a witness who was on the scene at the time that the accident occurred. Make sure you get their details and that they will be willing to take part in an interview if necessary.
You will also need various reports from a clinic or hospital. Your case will be strong when there was immediate attention and you have medical proof of this.
Hiring an Attorney
Some people decide to do this on their own, but this is not always easy no matter how minor or severe the accident was. You may find that your employer has rejected the claim, and this is where you need a professional in the industry to help you decide what to do. Some people won't appeal in a case like this, but when you have someone to back you up, you have a better chance. This will definitely apply to someone who is permanently injured or disabled in one way or another.
You need to give a full report, giving complete details about how the accident happened. Of course, an attorney can help with this by gathering evidence from witnesses and various reports and documents. If your case is vague, there is less chance of knowing whether there is going to be a positive outcome. This can even relate to an ankle that you have twisted, which has now resulted you from missing work.
Insurance Companies
Some people feel that it is just a minor accident and their insurance company will sort them out. This is debatable, but if this is the route you want to take, you have to make sure that you have all of the paperwork in order and that there is enough evidence. All of your facts must be in place. Make sure your statements don't contradict one another because this is what insurance companies will be looking for. If you needed, consult with a fort worth car accident attorneys

About joealaska
I have just taken a new job in Great Falls, Montana. A new state and new areas to explore.
By: joealaska, 5:33 PM GMT on February 27, 2014
Ok, Ok, everybody settle down and take a seat...
Just back from the evening walk. It was calm and 21 degrees.
The first three records I ever bought (vinyl 45s) were The Rolling Stones SATISFACTION, HENERY the 8th I AM Hermans Hermits, and DOWN IN THE BOONDOCKS by Billy Joe Royal. I checked, good to hear Billy Joe is still alive at 71 years. Working at a GAS N GO down in the boondocks maybe...
Well today I did a lot of reading up on BOONDOCKING. It refers to the practice of RV folk trying to camp for free, or very cheaply. Parking at Walmart or truck stops, that type of thing. Not very appealing to me. But further, there are remote "dispersed camp sites" that are also free. And probably the BEST sites. You can park in national forests for free. Safely off the road. Leave it in better shape than you found it. There is no electric, water, or sewer. Deal with it. Oh, and probably no neighbors. You can stay a couple weeks before they want you to move another 25 miles, just to avoid little squatter towns from forming. There is a lot of info on the internet about potential spots, as well as a network of users. I told you the internet was catching on!
I like the idea of using the typical crowded parks at first just to get used to the routine of setting the RV up for camping and breaking it down for the road. But after that I am looking for one of these remote spots, with a great view, and setting up camp for a few days. Take a lot of pictures at dusk and dawn... The first thing I would do at the tourist parks is meet my neighbors and find out what parks they liked best.
Looking into parks near Louisville for staying in May, and there are a few decent options. All are about an hour away from the folks, plus or minus. Most are not yet open officially for the season, so it will be hard to arrange something for a few weeks. Options are Taylorsville and Carrollton, Kentucky. Also Crawfordsville, Corydon, and Leavenworth, Indiana. Looking for a nice day to take a ride and check them out. Really would prefer KY. They are building two new bridges over the Ohio River now, one right down town. Going through there is a real mess.
Dealing with getting satellite internet, phone, and TV. Will probably put that off for a while. OH, I will have no permanent address for some time... Yes Ylee, correct with the hydraulic levelers. Yes Dave. There is a rear view camera so I can see, and hear, when I run over someone.
I will be using cat harnesses for a while. I want to see them run to the RV when a grizzly approach, versus attack or play with. Need to buy another grill, probably another SMOKEY JOE as in Dutch.
Lotis2 God Bless You. I WISH I could play Augusta. When I drive up to the front gate, they laugh and call security. After 10 or 12 times it gets old! I just saw an ice storm forced the club to take the Eisenhower Tree down. It was famous as a hazard on the 17th hole that stuck out in the fairway and had to be avoided. Dwight Eisenhower was a member there while he was President. He often hit the tree, and asked the club to take it down. They told The President NO. Since then it got even bigger. Augusta National, home of The Masters Golf Tournament, can afford to do whatever they want to replace it. They could have another 65 foot loblolly pine in there in a week if they choose that option.
Dave, I will be towing the Camry. Still have to buy a tow-dolly. No more toys for now.
The UK floods are not in the Evening News lately, hopefully there is some drainage going on.
Oh, I ordered a Go Pro Camera from Amazon and it just arrived. (Did I mention that my sister in Boise and her husband got my Christmas presents from Amazon one MONTH late? That, after I took Amazon Prime as an upgrade.) The Go Pro is unique. High quality HD. Small camera that can strap on your head, or whatever, and you can film doing anything...skiing, cycling, bowling, golfing... WHATEVER! Or driving down the open road. AND, it is waterproof. Wanted to do live streaming, but that is so expensive or impossible, so I will record and put the results on you tube for watching at your leisure. The angle will be SEASONED ROAD WARRIOR GOTS A NEW TANK. It will all be documented.
I know my photos have dried up, looking forward to getting back in focus.
The Dutch Harbor angle is fading, but a lot of USA road pictures are coming into view.
LEGS came from the fact it is an ALLEGRO. My wheels.
My little sister YELLAFELLA is having a birthday today. Dinner at a local German restaurant tonight, which JOEKENTUCKY will enjoy.
And there's the bell!
By: joealaska, 4:23 AM GMT on February 19, 2014
Good to hear Miranda is OK for now, Dave. Hang in there. As far as UK goes, not good. They featured it again last night on the national news, saying more rain coming. UK, how close are you to that flooding?
Meanwhile, it was interesting weather here yesterday afternoon. A front came through and it went from calm and sunny to steady rain, then hard rain. There was also some decent thunder and lightning. The creek rose up to the brim, but it did not flood. I took a late night walk and it was not raining any more, but a nice breeze was coming through.
Then TODAY was very nice. 58 degrees and sunny. Golfable except for the snow here and there that was still unmelted. I ran some errands and got home late afternoon. I opened the patio door wide and aired out the cats. Tomorrow it may get close to 70! Then Thursday they are saying big thunderstorms coming through at dinnertime. The guy said 80-90 mph winds possible. Two fronts hitting directly over 6th St. and Muhammad Ali in Louisville. How much you want to bet? Yet I will be there waiting with camera charged. Anxious.
So the RV situation came to a head when another buyer called and wanted to see the RV just after I looked. They had a deposit on another home in Chattanooga, but would be able to get out of it if they found a better option by 5 PM yesterday, Monday. But there is more to this whole situation...
It should be obvious to most of you that an RV would be a good option for me. I agree, and have thought about it for years. But all of that time I was thinking of it as a vacation vehicle, then throw the tarp back on. (And protect the tires from dryrot with one of many methods available.)
But now it could be a good option to live in, at least for a while and see if I likee. Probably will. And now THAT angle makes it a little more interesting to consider. But I have already checked prices, and I know the home I want would make it a real commitment. Frankly, I assumed it was not gonna happen. And here is where it gets a bit weird.
My friend Steve died. About 5 or 6 weeks ago. Last time I went to his house across the river and in New Albany, Indiana was a couple years ago.
Well, after he passed on, Becky his wife made a few comments on Facebook about what she was doing to take care of the business of getting her life in order after her husband died. She is taking the death of Steve very hard. I knew that all along. So when she mentioned she would be selling their RV I only took mild notice. I did not even know they HAD an RV. Turns out they had 4 of them over the last few years. Steve was a wheeler-dealer. He knew when to buy something, usually a car, and when he could just re-sell it for a profit. Or drive it a year and then re-sell. For a profit. He did it more as a hobby, not to make money. But that happened. He bought this particular home last October, after he had told Becky he would not buy anything unless it was a great deal.
They ended up never using it.
So I waited a few weeks. I really was not going to go after it, but it was in the back of my head that it was out there. I had no idea what type of motor home it was at that point. Then, I got that note from my apartment saying they needed a 60 day notice of what I was going to do. Staying? With a higher rent? NOW I was thinking what other options do I have?
So I sent Becky an email asking what the status was on the RV. Further, I said, just tell me the lowest price you want to sell it and give me an option of Y or N. I will not be making any counter offers. And she did. She had it on an internet site where it was listed and she would pay them if they brought a buyer. If I bought, she would not have to pay that commission. She gave me a good deal. I checked out other units for sale and it was obvious. BUY. But I was in no hurry. So I went and looked at and I liked it. 30 feet long, slide-outs on both sides. Central vacuum. Propane + generator. Shower. Sleeps 5, but two of those better be little kids looking for an adventure. Really, one bedroom sleeps two or one easily. Or 740 cats, depending on cat pile configuration. There were no repairs needed, great shape.
I did not drive it at that time. We agreed to meet again shortly and we would go through the whole process of setting it up, and taking it down. And drive it. Years ago I drove trucks that same size, I am not worried about that part. So I looked at everything, and then I left. I took the Owners Manual and would read it.
Couple days later Becky called and told me about the other buyers who saw the listing on the internet. I found out at 7 PM Sunday night that the other people wanted to see the home at 9:30 the next morning. Becky called and asked if I could bring back the Owners Manual. It would mean battling rush hour morning traffic, while going through the construction zone where they are building another bridge across the OHIO RIVER. I said OK. (Anything for Becky!)
I went to take a shower, and was thinking. I was hesitating to buy, but I knew it was a good deal. I trusted Steve. I trusted Becky. If I tried to buy ANYWHERE else, it would be shakey. So I called Becky back late that night and told her to tell those other folks this RV is SOLD.
Next day, at a more reasonable hour - midday - I handed her the biggest check I ever wrote (twice the amount of the last #1). I should say the largest BAD check I ever wrote. Funds needed moving, and she understood. I did that all today. She has agreed to let it remain at her place until the end of April, when my lease runs out. Then I move in, and park it SOMEWHERE near Louisville. Not a lot of options. I will live in it for a month and get used to it. Then celebrate my mom's 80th, an event I planned this whole RV deal around.
AND THEN, head west. Slowly and efficiently. Driving the RV, towing the Camry. I would like to search out nice RV campgrounds and give them a chance. If they are nice, stay and check it out. Or move on to the next option. Only drive the RV when needed. Give me a view and I may never leave. Nice to be flexible. I plan on looking at many options. A couple of nights out in the wilderness in between civilized parks may work out. I like the options.
Heading west with no real destination. Should be interesting.
Looking at buying a webcam or two to document the whole trip.
Asking the RV manufacturer if they might be interested in some sponsorship of my travels.
Thank you for your attendance. There may be a quiz.
By: joealaska, 2:59 AM GMT on February 14, 2014
Well there is certainly a lot going on, mostly bad. Weather... Bad. Then the health issues with family members. With UK, it is both. Now that we are aware of the situation, I hope UK and Dave keep us up to date as things improve. If UK gets our storms a few days after they head out to sea, well there is soon gonna be more TRUBBA. They even postponed the Louisville / Temple basketball game in Philadelphia. I figure Philly can handle snow. They are only getting a foot tonight during the scheduled game time.
We are supposed to get some snow tomorrow / Friday. But later next week they are talking 65 degrees!
So I got a notice from my apartment complex saying my lease is up in a couple months, and they need a 60 day notice of what my plans are. They want to renew for 13 months at the same rate, or go month to month at a premium rate. Decision time. I am not crazy about any of theirs. It has been a good place for the cats, no doubt. But the apartment is just OK. I have a neighbor above me who has odd hours, and walks around very heavy footed. There have been times the cats have jumped up with the noises. For me, no huge deal. If I had a job at 7 AM, maybe different.
I do not like apartments, and I did this as a temporary solution. So I want to opt out. And today I looked into an option I have considered for many years. New chapter? Maybe. I looked at a 31 foot RV. It is an unusual situation for me, as I am dealing with a friend. And unusual beyond that, I choose to discuss the rest if and when I buy. The RV is 9 years old and in good condition. I would live in it with the cats. I am not shopping around, this is the one or none. It is at a good price, and I trust the seller. It offers me the chance to move around as I want, maximum flexibility. I am reading the Owners Manual and we will all get together in a few days for a test drive.
I am liking this opportunity. Park the RV, use it as a base camp. Drag the Camry behind. I was checking random RV parks USA and the first one I saw was in Death Valley. Within walking distance of the lowest altitude golf course in the world, Furnace Creek. Played it. -82 feet.
By: joealaska, 4:23 PM GMT on February 05, 2014
Weather moving through Tuesday night. Some snow, but mainly freezing rain for the next few hours. Lots of snow just north of The Ohio River, as usual. More over the weekend.
I went to a Usually-But-Not-Guaranteed-To-Be-A-Super Bowl party Sunday. Good food, good friends. It started snowing when I went over. Maybe 12 people there. We were having fun betting on proposition bets. PROPS. Some smart bookie somewhere comes up with a bet, establishes odds to win it, and sits back and collects. There are HUNDREDS of these bets. Crazy. It started growing a few years ago and keeps snowballing. These are the bets where you can bet on the coin flip at the start of the game. Heads or tails? Or, bet on which team won the toss. This is a silly bet, yet people get carried up in the situation and bet on it. (Not me.)
There are many PROPS a bit more technical. Personally, I like SHORTEST TOUCHDOWN IN THE GAME. This number is always the same... 1.5 yards. Over or under? Take the UNDER. There is always a goal line stand. Sooner or later. In this game there was a pass interference call on Denver in the end-zone, and Seattle got the ball on the one. First down. They scored and I won.
This year there were some new bets. This will give you an idea of how crazy it has gotten. THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. Sung in 2 minutes and 20 seconds. OVER or UNDER? It sounded to us that lady was taking her time, and she still got done in just over 2 minutes. UNDER wins!
THE MOST VALUABLE PLAYER ACCEPTING HIS AWARD. You can bet on Who He Thanks First. God? Team? Mom? Family? Fans? Nobody? They all had different odds.
Well, these were all too silly for me. Do not want to throw away money. I went for the hard core, straight forward, serious bets... GATORADE THROWN ON WINNING COACH. Orange? Red? Clear? Blue? Yellow? No Gatorade? Once again, they all had different odds. I chose the basic YELLOW. Bet $10, they give you that and $45 more back. At the end of the game we saw a gatorade dousing and it looked pretty ORANGISH, yet semi-yellowlike. Closer than was comfortable. I assumed a loss. Then I saw the official ruling as LOSS. Yet much later, the ruling was changed and I won. We had seen a second gatorade dousing, much later after the first dousing. It was a definite YELLOW. But we all assumed the first dousing was the winner. WRONG, all dousings were included. Easy money.
I drove home from the game very slowly, as the snow was covering the roads and most were still not plowed. When I got home I glanced out back and saw Blossom the Possum coming out of the woods and plowing through the snow toward the building. This was the 3rd time I have seen her. The night before she walked past the porch where Dutchie was sitting on the chair outside. Dutchie saw her go by, but all Dutchie did was perk her ears up and watch Blossom head for the trees.
The Chow Porch is back in action! Cardinals, robins, and bluejays are served during the day. The late night buffet is strictly for the possums. For now.

Which firmware does the Studio-V come preinstalled with? I just received mine today, and am not sure which firmware is present.

Doesn't come installed with a firmware, you have to choose between the two, and then install it yourself.
So if/when I've installed the firmware, is there a way to remove it, or revert to the (non-firmware) stock configuration? Also, I'm assuming I need to contact email@example.com for any and all firmware files, correct?

Honestly, I don't know. I don't use Windows so when I tested it out I simple went with the sound that I was hearing out of the device, not the firmwares that came with the device.
Well, the Studio-V does have a FW installed otherwise it wouldn't really work
There's links posted out in the HSA forum with their latest updates, for the Dynamic and BA versions.
I have been trying to get hold of the default FW, so users can revert back, but so far no luck, but if I do get it I will upload it.
Okay, just received the default/stock FW.
I will create a download link in the HSA forum, later. So this means you can revert back to original FW with the Studio if/when you get tired of the BA/Dynamic firmwares.
EDIT: there we are...
Edited by i2ehan - 12/30/11 at 2:54am
Much more convenient placing all the FW's in their own thread, great work.
Thought I'd shed some light pertaining to this mysterious HDMS function, which I too was curious to learn of:
Yes it can. The regular firmware is more limited but once you update the firmware you should have no issues using a 32GB micro SD card (not full size SD). And I must say this device is amazingly good. It definitely sound better than the Hifiman 601 and it sounds way better than the T51/Sflo2 IMO.
That don't make sense at all what you just said? I'm sure it comes standard with the Dynamic firmware. But Jack has created an updated version to fix some of the compatibility issues.
The stock firmware is already uploaded to the firmware thread, courtesy of Jack.
I think I'm using the updated version of the firmware. How can we tell though to just make sure? I notice there a a couple songs here and there that have a question mark in front of them and won't play. This is from my 32GB Micro SD card with all flac loaded on it Not sure what the solution is to this though... I'm curious if I originally had the BA firmware installed because initially I was not impressed at all unlike I am now (very much so :).
Edited by lee730 - 12/31/11 at 3:26am
Go to Settings > Ver Infor
I'm running the latest dynamic firmware, and am also experiencing the question mark on a few albums I'm not able to play at all, MP3 format too.

East Harlem Town Hall Meeting Lets Residents Sound Off on Redistricting
By Jeff Mays, DNAinfo Reporter/Producer
HARLEM — Revised changes proposed for the City Council's district lines restored La Marqueta to District 8, but East Harlem Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito says that's not enough.
Approximately 30 blocks of her current district would be left out of the proposed map, which will incorporate the area into a massive district that also includes a large section of the Bronx. A hearing of the city's Districting Commission is scheduled for Jan. 7, but Mark-Viverito is hosting a town hall hearing about the changes Thursday night.
"The district came out strong in reaction to the original set of changes," said Mark-Viverito. "Over 200 community members said the preservation of a community of interest was critical."
In addition to the 30 blocks of the current District 8 that would be lost, the district would also lose Randall's Island while expanding further into the Bronx.
Mark-Viverito, a leading candidate to replace Council Speaker Christine Quinn, has criticized the new lines as a political move to reduce her chances of becoming speaker. Fellow Harlem Councilwoman Inez Dickens is also mentioned as a top contender for the job of speaker.
"This is a political move and the community should not be played with in that way," Mark-Viverito said.
The Districting Commission has already faced criticism for a last-minute change that would have helped disgraced Brooklyn Assemblyman Vito Lopez.
Commission leaders maintain the group is independent, but that has been questioned. The board reversed the change that would have helped Lopez.
John Medina, a community leader for Community Voices Heard, said East Harlem residents are concerned that making the district so Bronx-heavy will mean that they will be ignored in the new district.

Those who sincerely desire a sight of Christ, like Zaccheus, will break through opposition, and take pains to see him. Christ invited himself to Zaccheus' house. Wherever Christ comes he opens the heart, and inclines it to receive him. He that has a mind to know Christ, shall be known of him. Those whom Christ calls, must humble themselves, and come down. We may well receive him joyfully, who brings all good with him. Zaccheus gave proofs publicly that he was become a true convert.
He does not look to be justified by his works, as the Pharisee; but by his good works he will, through the grace of God, show the sincerity of his faith and repentance. Zaccheus is declared to be a happy man, now he is turned from sin to God. Now that he is saved from his sins, from the guilt of them, from the power of them, all the benefits of salvation are his. Christ is come to his house, and where Christ comes he brings salvation with him. He came into this lost world to seek and to save
it. His design was to save, when there was no salvation in any other. He seeks those that sought him not, and asked not for him. (Lu 19:11-27)
