This tv is up for grabs if anyone is interested. Its been a great tv for 5 years, but too big for me to lug around by myself. It needs a new backlight. Originally cost $1800 in 2014. Could be an opportunity for someone? Its a 2012 model, model number UA50F6400 AMXRD.

Good morning neighbours,
DanceWorks studio in Palmerston North flooded after the city was hit with 33.8 millimetres on Sunday. Director Marika Harvey estimated there was $34,000 of damage, not including lost props, but it could be more.
How did the unseasonable weather impact your weekend plans?

After running for 28 years, the big annual pre-Christmas food drive in Palmerston North is no longer considered viable. Part of the problem is potential sponsors don't want their name anywhere near plastic bags given their poor environmental reputation. However, the Salvation Army sends out recyclable bags.
Could you tell the difference between recyclable and non-recyclable plastic? Do you think businesses are overreacting, or does the annual cause need to change with the times?
