![]() What's perhaps most impressive is the way that the A95L achieves all of its pop and dynamism without eroding subtlety or authenticity in the way that Samsung's S95C QD-OLED is occasionally guilty of. The lights shining on a tiled wall reveal all sorts of subtle shades on the A95L, and as Peter peers into a bottle in Mother Barnabus's office, the little ship inside is resolved with fabulous fine detail and excellent solidity. The extra contrast afforded by the brighter highlights helps to reinforce edges and textures, giving everything an even more solid and three-dimensional appearance, yet this is also masterfully combined with an even greater degree of subtlety. What's more, the A95L also reproduces colours expertly in these darkest parts of the picture so that skin tones remain accurate and lifelike where other TVs allow them to go a bit pale. There's no loss of black depth, though, with the grimy streets of Victorian London being both oppressively dark and packed with shadow detail. This is precisely the sort of picture element that QD-OLED is designed to excel at. The moon over London, meanwhile, is not only brighter on the A95L, but it also has some subtle pink shading and lots of texture detail that is missed by rivals. Playing the super-bright Pan 4K Blu-ray, the A95L's additional brightness and colour vibrancy over the step-down Sony A80L and even the MLA-boosted Panasonic MZ2000 are immediately clear in the first scene's streetlamps and headlights, which are reproduced with a more intense and accurate yellow glow. Having now put the Sony A95L up against pretty much every other TV you might be considering, we can safely say that it is, with very little doubt, the very best TV you can currently buy. The promise of second-generation QD-OLED panels is an even brighter and more efficient performance, but we were just as excited to find out how the team at Sony could refine the performance further with an extra year of experience with the new panel technology. One of the two first QD-OLED TVs launched, it trumped its Samsung S95B rival by deploying its brightness-boosting, vibrancy-adding Quantum Dots in a more considered and authentic fashion – and by offering a far superior sound system to boot. The A95L is the successor to the A95K, arguably the best TV of last year if you don't take price into account. ![]() If it's a Sony TV that you're after, this is the one we'd recommend to most people. It is also worth noting that it has fewer HDMI 2.1 sockets than LG's OLED TVs have, but that will only be of concern to hardcore gamers. Other than a slight loss of shadow detail with SDR content and less bass depth than some rivals, the A80L is a consummate performer. The actuator system means sound literally comes from the picture, which is great for directness, but the A80L also sends sound out far to the left, right and above the set, creating a soundstage that's very large and atmospheric, and with impressive placement of effects. The Acoustic Surface Audio+ technology involves a trio of actuators that vibrate the actual screen in order to make sound, while a pair of more traditional woofers add bass. This enables the TV to be spectacularly dynamic, detailed, sharp and solid while also delivering subtle shading, natural colours and smooth motion. This processing gently enhances everything you watch but without the enhancement itself ever being noticeable. ![]() ![]() The key to the A80L's success is the delicate, accomplished processing at its core. ![]()

The Curry 8 Flow offers excellent ventilation with its upper materials. With that being said, here is an in-depth analysis of the Curry 8 Flow’s overall performance. With the American brand’s decision to grant the greatest shooter in history a brand of his own, some fresh innovative features will be expected in the new Curry 8 Flow. There were some notable Curry pairs that Under Armour has released in the past like the Curry 2.5 and Curry 7. But in terms of personal preference by a lot of ballers, along with the hefty price tag, they tend to choose other signature pairs. The Curry shoes are excellent, there is no doubt about it. Players and even the general public do not seem too fond of the Curry line due to its inconsistent on-court performance and technology. However, Under Armour’s Curry line does not create much of an uproar in the shoe game, and was overshadowed by other signature lines like the LeBron’s, the Kyrie’s, and the KD’s. With his return, the 32-year-old sharpshooter also debuted his latest signature pair with its new brand, along with the innovative and top-of-the-line technology that comes with it.

When skunks make their home on your property it can quickly become an unsafe and uncomfortable situation. We understand skunk behaviour, and the trouble they can cause on your property depending on the time of year and situation. Because distinguishing healthy skunks from those infected with rabies is difficult, professional removal is always necessary. Although skunks are not aggressive animals, they seem to be aware of their own odorous potential, as they are careful not to spray on themselves when targeting a threat. That odor, when targeted toward a pet or released under your deck or porch, is a major headache that can take weeks to dissipate. With over 20 years of experience we solve skunk problems in SE Michigan including:ĬOUNTIES: Livingston, Oakland, Washtenaw and parts of Wayne.ĬITIES & TOWNS: Ann Arbor, Brighton, Canton, Chelsea, Commerce, Dexter, Farmington Hills, Hamburg, Hartland, Highland, Howell, Milford, New Hudson, Northville, Novi, Pinckney, Plymouth, Salem, South Lyon, Walled Lake, West Bloomfield, White Lake, Whitmore Lake, Wixom, Wolverine Lake and surrounding areas.The striped skunk is a mammal that is infamous for the strong odor it can emit. If you smell skunks around your home or business, or if you have skunks digging up your yard, call the experts at Animal Pro. Properly dispose of garbage or debris that will attract skunks. Once the screen has been fastened, fill in the trench. Bend the screen in an L pattern and fasten to the deck or building using staples or screws. Decks and sheds can be screened or “rat walled” by digging a trench around the structure about 1 foot wide and 1 foot deep. Once the animal has been removed the den should be filled in and exclusion and repairs should be made to prevent future problems. The best way to control skunks is by trapping and relocating them. Babies usually stay with the mother until fall. The average litter is about 4 to 6 babies. ![]() ![]() Skunks breed in February with babies being born in early May. Human garbage and birdseed from feeders can be other food sources. They live on grasshoppers, beetles, crickets, and even mice and other small rodents. Skunks are omnivores and will feed on a variety of plant and animal foods. They may decide to live under houses, decks, sheds, cabins or storage buildings. They usually live in underground burrows, hollow logs or rock piles. Skunks are nocturnal (active at night) and do not truly hibernate, although they may sleep for long periods during cold weather. They have well developed claws that make them very adept at digging. The average skunk weighs about 8 to 12 pounds and can be as long as 30 inches from head to tail. They often knock over garbage cans looking for food and dig large burrows under decks and patios. Skunks can be very destructive to lawns and gardens when they dig for grubs and their odor can last for weeks in a home or business. ![]() It is about the size of a house cat and can be easily recognized by its black fur and two white stripes on its back.

![]() ![]() The razor also comes with a pivoting head that makes it easier to navigate the many contours of your race and avoid nicks, cuts, and irritation, and with protective microfins which provide further protection by smoothing down skin before the blade passes over it. It all starts with the Mach3’s progressively aligned blades, which are positioned in a way that for each stroke you take, it takes three. What’s not to like about a razor that makes the task of getting a close, clean shave easier than other disposables? Well, Gillette has been around a long time and is synonymous with “razor.” With over 100 years of experience, it figures that they know a thing or two about shaving and they have plenty of fine products to back their reputation.Īnd when it comes to their Mach3 Men’s Disposable Razor, they truly have the best a man can get. Gillette Mach3 Men’s Disposable Razorīy now you’ve heard the ubiquitous slogan: “Gillette – the Best a Man Can Get.” Yes, shop around, but there’s a reason big-name brands have been in business for many, many years. While you might save a few bucks by buying an off-brand, you could easily end up with a shave that mirrors the cheap price tag. ![]() While a lot of good products come from smaller companies, there’s something to be said for a brand name you recognize – like Schick, Gillette, and BIC. Their price helps explain the rise of shaving clubs, such as the Dollar Shave Club, which will ship you blades for less than what you’d pay at the store.īut, to be fair, many of the cartridges you buy at the store are of high-quality and not a bad investment if you don’t mind stretching your budget a bit 5. ![]() Let’s face it, the cost of a cartridge razor isn’t much when compared with a straight or safety razor, but the price of blades can add up quickly. They’re also more eco-friendly than cartridges or double-edge safety razors, since they don’t require any fancy extra parts or blades, and you won’t run the risk of slicing your face open if you drop them. There are some good disposable razors out there with multiple blades and lubricating strips that can provide you with a better shave than your old-school cartridge razor. Many disposable razors come with lubricating strips that are located above the blades and provide extra moisture to your skin.Įxtra moisture helps reduce skin irritation, although the chemicals found in lubricating strips can irritate sensitive skin. It’s not that we’re anti-multiple blade razors – because there are plenty of good ones on the market – but they are more expensive, too. Clogged blades can result in a duller shave. Here’s something else to consider: it’s harder to clean a razor that has multiple blades because your newly-shaven whiskers have a tendency to clog up between blades. In other words, if your razor’s five blades are cheap or dull, you’re not going to get the cleanest shave possible. While it makes perfectly good sense that multiple blades dragging across your face can provide a closer shave than a single or double blade, your disposable razor is only as good as the quality of the blades. More blades don’t guarantee a better shave It’s also widely assumed that multiple blades make for a cleaner shave, but that’s not true in every case (see #2). Multi-blade disposables make for a quicker, easier shave because more blades are gliding over your face. Single blades are the less expensive option, but the blade’s steel might not be as good as the steel on multi-blades. You pay more for cartridge razors – and the blades don’t come cheap – but they’re of a higher quality than a razor that’s completely disposable.ĭisposable razors either come with a single blade or multiple blades. Typesĭisposable razors are either completely disposable in that you toss the entire thing (handle and all) out when the blade goes dull, or the kind where you just replace the razor cartridges with newer, sharper ones and keep the handle. Before you buy: 5 Things to consider when purchasing a disposable razorīefore you rush out and buy a disposable razor, here are some things to keep in mind before making your purchase. ![]() |
