The TO_CHAR function converts a DATETIME, number, or NTEXT expression to a TEXT expression in a specified format. This function is typically used to format output data.
Return Value
TO_CHAR(datetime-exp, [datetime-fmt,] [option setting])
TO_CHAR(num-exp, [num-fmt,] [nlsparams])
A DATETIME expression to be converted to TEXT.
A text expression that identifies a datetime format template. This template specifies how the conversion from a DATETIME data type to TEXT should be performed. For information about datetime format templates, see Table 9-4, "Datetime Format Elements". The default value of datetime-fmt is controlled by the NLS_DATE_FORMAT option.
An OLAP option (such as NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE) and its new setting, which temporarily overrides the setting currently in effect for the session. Typically, this option identifies the language that you want datetime-exp to be translated into. See Example 8-138, "Displaying the Current Date and Time in Spanish".
Do not specify an option that set other options. For example, do not set NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE or NLS_TERRITORY; set NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE instead. While TO_CHAR saves and restores the current setting of the specified option so that it has a new value only for the duration of the statement, TO_CHAR cannot save and restore any side effects of changing that option. For example, NLS_TERRITORY controls the value of NLS_DATE_FORMAT, NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS, NLS_CURRENCY, NLS_CALENDAR, and other options. When you change the value of NLS_TERRITORY in a call to TO_CHAR, all of these options are reset to their territory-appropriate default values twice: once when NLS_TERRITORY is set to its new value for the duration of the TO_CHAR statement, and again when the saved value of NLS_TERRITORY is restored.
A numeric expression to be converted to TEXT.
A text expression that identifies a number format model. This model specifies how the conversion from a numeric data type (NUMBER, INTEGER, SHORTINTEGER, LONGINTEGER, DECIMAL, SHORTDECIMAL) to TEXT should be performed. For more information, see "Number Format Models" in Oracle Database SQL Language Reference.
The default number format model uses the decimal and thousands group markers identified by NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS.
A text expression that specifies the thousands group marker, decimal marker, and currency symbols used in num-exp. This expression contains one or more of the following parameters, separated by commas:
NLS_CURRENCY symbol
NLS_ISO_CURRENCY territory
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS dg
A text expression that specifies the local currency symbol. It can be no more than 10 characters.
A text expression that identifies the territory whose ISO currency symbol is used.
A text expression composed of two different, single-byte characters for the decimal marker (
d) and thousands group marker (
These parameters override the default values specified by the NLS_CURRENCY, NLS_ISO_CURRENCY, and NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS options.
An NTEXT expression to be converted to TEXT. A conversion from NTEXT to TEXT can result in data loss when the NTEXT value cannot be represented in the database character set.
Usage Notes
How TO_CHAR Handles Numerical Data Types
The TO_CHAR function converts INTEGER, SHORTINTEGER, LONGINTEGER, DECIMAL, and SHORTDECIMAL values to NUMBER before converting them to TEXT. Thus, TO_CHAR converts NUMBER values faster than other numeric data types.
Possible Effects of TO_CHAR Rounding
All number format models cause the number to be rounded to the specified number of significant digits. Table 8-17, "Possible Effects of Rounding" identifies some effects of rounding.
Table 8-17 Possible Effects of Rounding
|IF num-exp
|THEN the return value
has more significant digits to the left of the decimal place than are specified in the format,
appears as pound signs (
is a very large positive value that cannot be represented in the specified format,
is a tilde (
is a very small negative value that cannot be represented in the specified format,
is a negative sign followed by a tilde (
Example 8-136 Converting a Date to CHAR
This statement converts today's date and specifies the format.
SHOW TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'Month DD, YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
The specified date format allows the time to be displayed along with the date.
November 30, 2000 10:01:29
Example 8-137 Converting a Numerical Value to Text
This statement converts a number to text and specifies a space as the decimal marker and a period as the thousands group marker.
The value 1013.50 now appears like this:
1.013 50
Example 8-138 Displaying the Current Date and Time in Spanish
The following statements set the default language to Spanish and specify a new date format.
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = 'spanish' NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'Day: Month dd, yyyy HH:MI:SS am'
The following statement displays the current date and time in Spanish.
SHOW TO_CHAR(SYSDATE) Viernes : Diciembre 01, 2000 08:21:17 AM
The NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE option changes the language for the duration of the statement. The following statement displays the date and time in German.
SHOW TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, NA, NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE 'german') Freitag : Dezember 01, 2000 08:26:00 AM

Marvel has been making waves this last week with the revelation of a new Female Thor, as well as the mantle of Captain America being taken up by black superhero Sam Wilson. It's great to see increased diversity from them - but when will we see this sort of thing in Marvel Movies?
Sometimes it can be difficult to critique the MCU - after all, even all these years after the original Iron Man, it's still baffling and spectacular that we've had a consistent stream of superhero movies that don't just work (a success story in itself), but are global megahits. Who would've thought a decade ago that some of the highest grossing films in cinematic history would be about Iron Man or The Avengers? This success has allowed Marvel to even get a little more wacky with some of its output, something most comic book fans feared would kill their success with mainstream audiences, but look at where we are: Casting and production are under way on movies for Ant-Man and Doctor Strange, hell there's a Guardians of the Galaxy movie out in two weeks! That's ridiculous to comprehend even now, in the light of Marvel's seemingly neverending cavalcade of movie hits.
So why is it we can get a space movie starring a talking raccoon and his sentient tree friend, but not one with a female lead?
Look at Marvel's movie slate for the next couple of years, as they head into 'Phase 3':
- Ant-Man
- Captain America 3
- Thor 3
- Doctor Strange
- The Avengers 3 (unconfirmed as of yet, but let's be honest: It will almost definitely happen)
None of those films will have female leads, and there's a very good chance that none of them will have non-white leads (who knows, Steven Strange could be cast as non-white - what's to say that he has to be Caucasian?) either. There's still plenty of time for Marvel to announce a curveball for that lineup, but if this is it - and it's admittedly a big if - are we really looking to 2017, 2018 a decade into Marvel's movie plans, without a single movie based around a female character?
It's not like Marvel doesn't have a stock of diverse characters to build on in the MCU either - for women on screen, we've had Scarlett Johansson's excellent portrayal of Black Widow, and then there's solid supporting characters like Maria Hill, Lady Sif, Peggy Carter and Pepper Potts. Agents of SHIELD, for all the trouble it had in its early stages, can't be faulted for having half of its lead ensemble made up of female characters. Minority characters are unfortunately rarer - James Rhodes has been a long stalwart of the MCU thanks to his role in the Iron Man films, and then there's recent successes with Sam Wilson/Falcon in theatres and Agent Triplett on TV - but that doesn't discount Marvels huge catalogue of non-white comic book characters they could choose from (Black Panther is an almost constant rumour for his own movie, for example), or the fact there are at least some already there. But so far all of these characters have been supporting roles. Black Widow has reportedly come so close to a movie following the character's success on screen - Nicole Perlman, who wrote the original script for Guardians of the Galaxy, got the job on the strength of a Black Widow standalone movie script she submitted to Marvel's writing program - yet still, it's 2014 and Marvel have shown they're willing to take some pretty big risks with their movies. Why haven't they taken the risk of making one with a female lead?
That's not to say there hasn't been some progress. Peggy Carter is getting her own Television series, and both Jessica Jones and Luke Cage will be starring in shows for Netflix. Anthony Mackie's largely popular appeal in The Winter Soldier - as well as the actor's own infectious enthusiasm for playing a black superhero on the big screen - could lead to more from The Falcon in the future. Agents of SHIELD will carry on with Agent Triplett's promotion to a main cast member, and they could even be joined by Maria Hill in the future. And we already know that the big leads of Marvel's franchises won't be around forever: their replacements could expand on what Marvel is doing in their comic books by allowing these diverse supporting characters to take up the lead's mantle. Could Don Cheadle's Rhodie succeed Robert Downey Junior as Iron Man? Maybe Jaime Alexander could be found worthy of Mjolnir's grip when Chris Hemsworth tires of the God of Thunder - and although it's pretty likely that Sebastian Stan will be taking up Captain America's shield when Chris Evans bows out, Mackie's statements earlier this year that he's signed up for as many Marvel movies as he could, combined with last night's decision for the Comic Book Sam Wilson to replace Steve Rogers as Cap, could mean that the same happens in the MCU.
The opportunities are there for Marvel to start taking a stand for diversity within their film opportunities. And with SDCC next week, there could be a few movie announcements from them that surprise us - perhaps that long-awaited Black Widow movie could finally happen, or perhaps a film for Carol Danvers' Captain Marvel. Maybe we'll get the Black Panther rumour train going again. It's great to see Marvel promoting diversity with some of their biggest characters in the comic book world, but as the MCU expands and takes more and more chances with its eclectic source material, it's about time to see it happening there too.

As a Renaissance man (my work focuses on Pieter Bruegel the Elder), I'm unashamed to admit that I just don't "get" Damien Hirst. As an entrepreneur and businessman, credit where credit's due. But with regards the art I've never really managed to think objectively about Hirst's stuff. I guess that I've just grown accustomed to looking at fifteenth- and sixteenth-century art, meaning that a pickled animal simply jars with my expectations of what "art" is supposed to be all about.
I don't take my uneasiness about Hirst to the same extreme as others have done, however. Hirst's art divides opinion. Although some admire Hirst's maverick personality and his avant-garde critique of conventional notions and narratives of what art is and when art existed, in others Hirst's art arouses frank indignation. Julian Spalding scathingly described Hirst's art as 'the sub-prime of the art world', adding 'It's often been proposed, seriously, that Damien Hirst is a greater artist than Michelangelo because he had the idea for a shark in a tank whereas Michelangelo didn't have the idea for his David. … [but] what separates Michelangelo from Hirst is that Michelangelo was an artist and Hirst isn't.' ( The Independant 27th March, 2012) In my view, it's exactly this kind of haughty presumption to make value judgements that has alienated most from the art world and should be avoided. Art and its appreciation is a subjective thing, and I don't think that experts or critics should prescribe a view, especially one as extreme as Spalding's.
I've always tried to be mindful that when it comes to art, one size really doesn't fit all. I try to avoid judging art according to fixed, immovable categories such as "art" or "not art", "artist" and "non-artist" etc.; as much as I don't get Hirst, I am perfectly happy for others to get it. Just as much as people would be more than entitled to say they don't get the appeal of Bruegel. So, inasmuch as my own research must have prejudicially skewed my opinion of Hirst, I reckon we should just accept that there can be different kinds of art that don't have to be mutually exclusive.
Well, I decided to put this theory to the test when, for the first time ever, I took myself off with the sole intention of seeing a Hirst exhibition, at the New Art Gallery, Walsall. The Hirsts went on show here on October 6th as part of ARTIST ROOMS on tour, an initiative sponsored by the Art Fund that sees important contemporary artworks by influential artists being shown in galleries across the UK. Putting Hirst to one side momentarily, I really do think that this collaborative initiative should be praised for endeavoring to make the contemporary art world, which is usually very Londoncentric, seem that bit more relevant on a National scale. Hirst rarely exhibits outside of major cities and since his name will probably draw crowds and increase footfall at Walsall gallery, this can only be praised.
When it comes to the exhibition itself, though, I was initially disappointed to find myself confronted with Hirst's face, twice(!), before I even got to see any of the art. Now I'm not suggesting that there's anything wrong with Hirst's face, but these portraits—one of which shows Hirst looking rather pleased with himself in front of his Zebra in formaldehyde, inexplicably titled The incredible journey (2008) and worth a fortune, I guess—seemed to confirm one of my preconceptions about Hirst: ego and celebrity coming before art.
Perhaps overly-cynical, but it got on my nerves nonetheless.
Mild irritation ensued inside, since the very first thing I saw was one of those animals suspended in chemical preservatives, this time the Sheep titled (more explicably this time) Away from the Flock (1994). There seems to be no real justification for plonking this in the middle of the Main Hall, except for the fact that the formaldehyde specimens are easily Hirst's most recognisable. And controversial! Again, another one of my preconceptions seemed to have been confirmed: controversy and the need to shock coming before art.
My attempt to maintain an unequivocal position seemed to be proving untenable. Quickly, I was veering off into Spalding's realm…
"OK", I thought, "so I don't get the animals in tanks thing, move on". And to my surprise I actually found some of the stuff thought-provoking and even uplifting. The exhibition's highlight and its most successful room is undoubtedly the one housing the Controlled Substances Key Painting (1994), Monument to the Living and the Dead (2006) and The Pharmacist's Creed (1997-98), the latter of which is hanged against Hirst's Pharmacy Wallpaper (2004). Forgetting about "meaning" for a moment, this room is simply a nice space to be in. Perhaps it's the colourfulness of the works.. the brightness of the lighting… or the scarcity of the exhibits (both in terms of number and imagery). Not sure, but I liked the feel of this particular gathering. It was a bit of "Eureka!" moment for me and I suddenly understood what people meant when I've heard them say that Mark Rothko's canvases make them "feel" a particular way.
Moving on though as we inevitably do to the murkier business of "meaning", the exhibition's interpretation told me that these works all intervene on the issue of life, death, faith and belief, and suggest that modern medicine has usurped God's spiritual benevolence. In our increasingly secular society we apparently–we are told–habitually place our faith and hope for life in science instead of the Divine (whether that's good or bad, I'm undecided and I suspect Hirst is, too). The Monument meanwhile frames and contextualises the whole of the room. Showing real butterflies stuck to gloss on canvas, suspended as though frozen in flight, this collage actually harkens back, conceptually, to momento mori iconography,reminding us (in much the same way that skulls in older art do) that life is transient and fleeting. Altogether, this room struck me as being actually quite clever, and I hadn't really considered Hirst's indebtedness to iconographic conventions before. "Perhaps there's more to Hirst", I thought.
The above mentioned room even helped me to make sense of the Gallery's newfangled Art and Religion room. Usually, this room, with its plain walls, displays some of the older art from the permanent collection, including two (sumptuous) sheets from an illuminated manuscript made in the 1300s. When I first stepped into this room, I assumed that the wallpaper now surprisingly adorning the walls was a rather eccentric renovation. It turns out, of course, that it's the Pharmacy Wallpaper again, and knowing that, the reasoning behind juxtaposing Hirst with fourteenth-century illuminations from a Book of Hours becomes clearer.
All very interesting. But this show was making me vacillate. Was I now becoming pro-Hirst? Do I get it, or not?
I returned to Away from the Flock and read the label this time. A play on the conventional Agnus Dei iconography, this installation(? Sculpture? Readymade?… whatever) supposedly subverts the conventional associations of the Lamb of God by representing the sacrifice of life for the sake of art. Hmm. Maybe? But I'm just not sure about this one and I still think that Away from the Flock really is arbitrarily positioned in the show simply because of its fame. (This isn't, by the way, a value judgement, and the tank with sheep is in fact a rather fascinating object. But I just don't find some of the interpretation offered in this show very convincing…)
Hirst's spin paintings are represented by the beautiful c painting (1996). Apparently, this and Hirst's other spin paintings challenge the idea that "high" or "fine art" requires the direct intervention of the artist's hand. Spin paintings are made by mounting the canvas onto a revolving turntable and pouring paint onto the spinning support. You or I could do this, and the point is indeed to show that anybody, a child or fully-fledged artist, can produce something legitimately describable as a work of art. However, I don't think that these psychedelic tondi can really make claims on behalf of the democratising and equalising potential of art, since it's precisely because they are Hirsts that justifies their display in the gallery. I doubt whether Tom, Dick or Harry's spin paintings would make it onto the gallery wall. The spin paintings therefore purport to essay against the notion of the virtuoso artist-author, but in the end, the institutions of art actually render them complicit in the cult of the artist. Indeed, the exhibition's curator was apparently aware of the spin paintings' tenuousness, since it's hung high above the entrance door where it can easily be missed. The beautiful c painting neither has any thematic justification for its inclusion, since it in no way relates to the themes of life, death and faith that provide the main concept linking Hirst's art to the permanent collection at Walsall.
In all, I reckon it's well worth seeing the Hirsts while they are in Walsall. Seldom is such a big name shown in such "provincial parts". And the show is successful insofar as it provokes all kinds of interesting comparisons and analogies, of the like that have certainly altered my perceptions of Hirst and some of his art. A good exhibition, I think, should always make you challenge your own presumptions, and this does.
ARTIST ROOMS: Damien Hirst runs at Walsall till 27th October 2013. New Art Gallery Walsall, Gallery Sq, Walsall, WS2 8LG. Open Tue to Sat 10am-5pm, and Sundays 12-4pm. Admission Free.

Would Recommend
I called Coltech for a quote to install a ceiling fan and light fixture. James came out assessed the job and thoroughly explained what needed to be done. I wasn't expecting work to be done at that time but I proceeded with the ceiling fan installation while he was there. He also fixed a light switch at no extra charge (thanks again). He's knowledgeable, quick and produced a quality result. I will be using them again for the second project and for any future needs.
Highly Professional and Courtious Electician
James was very responsive to our request for an estimate. He immediately provided a detailed quote to replace a kitchen light fixture plus adding ceiling cans and pendant lights for our kitchen lighting renovation. The work was scheduled for the next week. James and his team arrived on time the day the work was scheduled and completed the work in a matter of a few hours. Upon completion of the job they cleaned up and vacuumed the area so it was returned to normal. All in all a great experience from a super friendly and professional set of electricians. We will definitely use Coltech again for future electrical needs.

Great customer service, highly skilled, efficient, clean, friendly and very fair\reasonable pricing. I couldn't ask for more. I will only call Coltech in the future, for any electrical needs. I love my new pendant lights! They look beautiful & work great! Thank you, James!
Job well done!
About 1 year ago, I had Coltech install several can lights, under cabinet lights, switches and outlets. They were on time and even called me and let me know they were on their way. I was very pleased because everything was done to my satisfaction. Then in August of 2017 I decided to get more lights, another switch and an additional outlet. There was only one company I knew I could trust and that was Coltech. Brian from Coltech called and let me know he was on his way and was at my home on time. He did the work I requested and cleaned up when finished. This company has high quality service and performs in a professional and friendly manner.
High quality service, professional and courteous
Brian from Coltech called and advised us that he was on his way and did arrive earlier than the 10 to 12 time frame. We spoke to him about what we needed done which included 6 smoke detector replacements, replace a faulty GFI and replace our doorbell ringer with a new one. After giving us a very fair price for the work, we gave him the go ahead. He replaced the smoke detectors and tested them. He then replaced the GFI outside and I advised him that Coltech had installed it not too long ago. He advised me that it is warrantied two years. He did not charge me for the GFI replacement. He then installed our new doorbell, setting the chosen tune for us and adjusting the volume. He was courteous and completed all of the work in a professional and timely manner. I spoke to him about my satisfaction with Coltech since first using them about 2 years ago. He expressed that he was happy to be working for them. I would recommend Coltech to anyone looking for an electrician. I would also say that Brian is an asset to Coltech. The last time I had Coltech to the house was because my Main Breaker kept tripping. They advised me that my A/C unit needed to be looked at, tightened wires in an outlet that was overheating and left without charging me. They are the BEST!
Very honest company.
Professional Electrical Company
They get to the Customer early, they do the job and they treat your home or office with the utmost care. They had 3 jobs at my ho job was done excellent and they were done 3 hours later. That's what I'm talking about!!!
Great service, excellent job!
Coltech did a fantastic job with all of our electric service needs! We had a lot of work that needed to be completed (ceiling fans, outlets, coach lights, etc.). A few days before, James completed an estimate for the work that needed to be done and also provided great suggestions that would work for our home. When James and his team arrived to complete the work, they arrived on time, completed all of the work (even a couple of additional items we added at the last minute) in a very timely manner and accurately. On top of the awesome service, Coltech is very reasonably priced. If I need to have more electric service completed, Coltech will be the company I call!
The Best
This is my 2nd time using Coltech Electrical Services. That right there tells you I was happy with the 1st services. They come on time, give me an estimate and scheduled the work. Both times they were able to do the work that day. Brian is very professional, gets right to work, and cleans up before he leaves. This time he installed a ceiling fan in my living room with a cathedral ceiling and did troubleshooting for an patio outlet. I will be calling them again for any of my electrical needs.
Excellent workmanship and the highest professional standards.
James and his crew were amazing from the original estimate to actually completing the work. He gave excellent suggestions and offered money savings suggestions. His estimate was competitive, and after viewing the finished project- his costs were a complete steal. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of electrical services.
April Visit
Brian was our technician. It was the second time he helped us. As he was the first time, he was professional and did a terrific job. He also identified a possible future problem with a miswired switch. We will always use Coltech and will always request Brian again in the future.
You'll never be happier!!!
Coltech is AMAZING and they are now my GO-TO electrical folks above all others. From the moment I requested their services they were on it without any delay. Their Customer Service Skills are phenomenal and they are more like Family that one trusts rather than simply another vendor. James is superb in working with one on his specific needs and in giving invaluable feedback. Brian, the electrician who wrote my estimate and who returned to do the work is simply beyond words. He is hard-working, professional, knowledgeable and spoke to me in laypersons' terms which I needed as it relates to anything electrical. He did not stop from the moment he arrived until he left, and he was able to assist me with other ideas and explained everything which he did. Coltech's prices are out-of-this-world WONDERFUL which I learned from doing my due diligence with other contractors who came to evaluate the same work (with less) and substantially different and higher quotes. I look at the work performed, which is above and beyond my own exacting standards, and all I can think and say to all who will listen: THANK GOD for Coltech Electrical Services, LLC and for James and Brian specifically. You have made a customer-for-life of this jaded former New Yorker!
Friendly and honest
Great guys! Very nice and respectful to my home environment. We have small dogs and they were all very nice to them. The job was professionally done and looks great!
LED kitchen lighting
Coltech did a great job on my kitchen lights. Would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.
High Quality Electricial Service
Coltech Electrial is a rapid response company with high quality workmanship at a very reasonable price. They came very quickly to solve a small problem. I then asked them for an estimate to do three larger projects. All were done quickly on my schedule.
great service
thank you for the great work guys
Excellent job at a reasonable price.
Coltech removed 2 sets of track lighting, installed 4 pendant lights in new locations with revised switching, and, installed a ceiling fan. They were obviously competent and efficient, accomplishing this in a morning with excellent results. They were punctual, pleasant and accommodating. I must mention that their charge was approximately 1/2 the bid price quoted by one of their best known competitors. I will certainly use them again should the need arise.
Coltech arrived on time which is rare today. They were knowledgeable and completed the task quickly. Great service at a reasonable price. Would definitely hire again.
Honest, Efficient work
James gave me a quote when he saw the unfinished work of repairing electrical box. He was honest when the tool he ordered for the work did not come in on time, so we rescheduled. He was prompt, on time, and very efficient. His coworker was helpful as well. The only thing I would change for them is that I would have given them 4.5 stars. They did not finish the cleanup. If I had seen it before they left, asked them to do it, I'm sure they would have finished it up.
Very professional and worked quick and fast!
High quantity service
Coltech was Awesome!
Fan prewire and installation
Very professional and friendly was the technician Brian. Will definitely contact Coltech when I need any electrical work done.
Great company great price and great customer service would recommend to anyone also will be using them on my next projects
In a world where there is little work ethic, professionalism and excellent customer service skills, Coltech Electrical is an exception! They responded to my on-line inquiry for an electrician within minutes, James was courteous and helpful on the phone, and answered all of my questions. We set the appointment for Tuesday morning, and James told me that either he or Brian would be at my home to take care of my electrical problem. About a 1/2 hour before the appointment arrival time, Brian called to let me know he was on the way. He arrived promptly and at the time promised, and was courteous, and his work was neat and clean and perfect! He did an outstanding job and my husband and I were very happy with his performance! We will definitely use this company again, and highly recommend them!
High Quality Work
Quickly installed new motion sensor light over our garage and replaced an electrical outlet in the laundry room. Both done perfectly in less than an hour. I will definitely use Coltech for all my electrical needs! Prices are good and there is no up front charge to get an estimate. Happy Housewife!
Professional, courteous, on time and efficient. Would absolutely use this company again. Installed chandelier, 2 fan lights and an outside fan. Very reasonable for all of this work.
Electrician Needed In Fountain Hills, AZ
We had called several electrical contractors in Fountain Hills and no one returned the call and/or showed up when the appt. was scheduled. I received a recommendation for Coltech from someone in Fountain Hills and decided to give them a call after much frustration in dealing with local contractors. James from Coltech was able to schedule a technician later in the week. Much to our surprise, we were contacted the day before the scheduled appt. to verify the appt. for the following day. We were very impressed after our experience with local contractors in Fountain Hills. The technician, Brian, arrived on time and was able to take care of the problem which was a photocell for our exterior lighting. Brian was professional and expedient in assessing the problem and repairing it. In the future, we will contact Coltech for all our electrical needs.
We recently purchased a home that had several electrical issues as a result of DIY mishaps. We attempted to call several electricians,all based on referral; one made it worse and three made appointments and never showed. James responded to our request for service, was on time for the appointment and fixed all of our issues. I can't say enough about his professional manner and efficient services. He was very patient and thorough tracing problems and making our home safe. We will refer him to all of our friends and acquaintances. Finally, we have found a reliable and knowledgeable electrician!
Great service!!
Our tech Brian came out and got the job done in record time!! We are extremely satisfied with Coltech!!
Gret service at a great price
I worked with James and everything worked out as he promised and more. He was on time, performed professionally and even fixed some low voltage pendant lights that hadn't worked in five years even though he didn't to mess with them. Thanks for a job well done.
Great service worked thru challenge's.
Coltech installed a outlet 240 volt wiring and circuit breaker.Great job🍒
Great service
Prompt. They were there at the time they said. Courteous and professional. Quality workmanship for a fair price. Would highly recommend Coltech.
Punctual, reasonably priced, competent
We had a lighting fixture hung and repositioned in the dining room. They did a fine job and cleaned up afterwards. They also fixed a bad switch that operated our outdoor ceiling lights and rehung a ceiling fan that had been previously installed wrong. I was happy with everything they did and the price was very reasonable. While they were at the house, they looked at a couple of other things that I had questions about and never seemed "put out" to do so. That's a nice customer service feature these days!
Had a new outlet, switch and light fixture installed. Collech Electrical was prompt, courteous and competent.
Great Guys to Work With
Coltech is a great group of guys to work with. They are fast, efficient and very helpful with suggestions and ideas! They did under-cabinet lighting, ceiling fans, wiring, switches and light fixture removal/installation. They responded immediately to my inquiry about the job. The first few electricians I called didn't even answer their phones, but Coltech contacted me within minutes (I used HomeAdvisor.com to find them) and the were out the next day to bid the job. I would hire these guys again in a minute! As far as I am concerned, Coltech is my one and only contact for ANY electrical work I need doing. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They are nice to work with and a fun group to have come to your house! While they were doing the work I requested, they also fixed (at no charge) some of the work that had been done poorly/incorrectly by a previous electrician. Coltech is TOTALLY focused on customer satisfaction and accommodation...they are my "go to" guys for electrical work.
We're Glad We Used Coltech
We wanted to have some re wiring done on a 35 year old house we bought. The electrician from Coltech explained everything clrearly.He quoted a reasonable price and met it. We had some concerns about our circut breaker box. He checked it out and assured us that it is in good shape. He was able to put in new wiring and install a cieling fan with minimal cuttung into our walls. He corrected chandelier wiring. It was a pleasant experience dealing with skillful and personable professionals. We will use Coltech again as needed. Also: While re wiring in our bathroom cieling they discovered some duct problems which we were able to get corrected. Our air conditioning will definitely be working better this summer.
They did what they said they would do at the cost they gave me. What more can you ask?
Brian was professional, friendly, and polite. He repaired an outlet that was not working and installed a motion sensor light. Brian told me everything I needed to know about what he was going to do and why. He gave me and estimate prior to starting work. The estimate is what I paid. He gave me an estimate for other work that is now scheduled for next week. Brian was also willing to come in and meet my dogs so they would not be as concerned about the man walking around the property. Thanks to Brian for doing a great job!
First Rate
Professional from start to finish. On time and as contracted. These folks definitely get the idea of customer friendly service
Great Job
Job looks great,just what we wanted.Brian was on time and very nice.Everything works great.
Great service and professional crew.
I was a little concerned because I couldn't be there while the work was being done. I ran home at lunch and found everything was done and looking great. Couldn't have picked a better company for the job.
I had 3 light fixtures that needed to be installed. I had hoped that I would be able to replace my switches, but James explained that my house wiring dating back into the 40s did not have proper ground for the switches I was wanting to use. He came once to provide and estimate after explaining why the switches could not work and then came a second trip to do the install. Both times he was prompt and his work was quick and efficient. Excellent job of clean up too. No little wire cuttings or other bits of trash were left for me to attend to.
Problem solved, peace of mind!
Thank You, Brian. Our electrical issues have been solved. Who would have thought that wiring in a house is like a maze. Job well done in a timely manner. We now have our peace of mind back. Sincerely, Lee & Heather Hicken
Great job, more than I expected. Electrician(Brian) was knowledgeable and accurate.
Very professional - Timely - Reasonable
The company arrived on time. Brian explained their pricing, he took not even 15 minutes to locate our problem and fixed it for us. He then took the time to explain to us how our problem popped up and how to avoid in the future. Brian was a consummate professional and we would recommend this company to anyone and we will.
James was excellent. He called the evening prior, was on time, explained what he could do, offered suggestions and was incredibly personable and polite. I am keeping his card ad will call him again when needed. Phill
Very professional
Brian knew exactly what to do to solve the problem. He worked quickly and throughly. I'll be calling them again when I need electrical help.
Absolutely A++++ Would highly recommend
The business returned the original inquiry lightening fast. Great service and reasonably priced. If I need anything else done, the will get the call.
Fast, Quick, Reliable
Needed outlets behind recently mounted TVs. Quick, knowledgeable and clean. Would recommend!
Always on time and professional. The work was excellent. I have no negatives at this time. If you need electrical work done, this is the company to call. The work was done under estimate and that is what they charged.I was very pleased.and will call them again for any of my electrical needs.
Friendly and Profession, great company.
My husband and I are new to the neighborhood and couldn't have been more happy to have chosen to go with Coltech. We had several questions and scenarios to run by the guys and they were all very thorough in their explanations and very giving of their time to make sure we had all the information we needed to make decisions. They were very professional and very nice. We are really happy and will choose them again for our future projects.
"Fan" taztic
Great professional service was on time and well prepared to come to do brought all what he needed to accomplish his job did not dilidally and went about doing the install with excellent work job well done.

Good service
The service was very good and a friendly service representative
Recessed lighting throughout the home
I had 28 recessed lights installed throughout my home. These guys were awesome from the estimate right down to finishing the job as everyone knows we plan a job we think we know what we want then you get 2 to 3 estimates then when you choose the people you pray and hope that you get good reliable people, these guys were awesome did exactly what they said they were going to do! They finished the job when they said they would be done, I even asked for a few extra things without hesitation they just took care of my request and finish the job still on time. they were awesome polite considerate went above and beyond the job! I would definitely use them again and will use them again! and definitely recommend them...
Electrical projects completed very satisfactorily
James, the Coltech electrician, arrived when he said he would, and completed the several tasks very satisfactorily. He installed two ceiling fans and a set of lights over my bathroom vanity area. He was very professional and focused on the tasks at hand. He was very pleasant and personable in his demeanor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others, or to call on his services again in the future. Great job, James, many thanks!
We were selling our father's house in Sun City and the inspection that was done showed that wires in the attic were left in a jumbled mess with no junction boxes. We live in Washington and had to do everything long distance. We looked up and found Coltech Electrical Services and gave them a call. They responded immediately and set up an appointment within 2 days. They called and kept us informed, were prompt and professional, called when the job was completed and were quick to email me the receipt, which we needed for closing on the house. We had a very short time frame to get everything done in time for closing, and Coltech Electrical came through with flying colors. I would highly recommend them!
Excellent Work
The folks at Coltech Electrial are A-One. Appointments were verifed and free estimate was given before work was performed. Brian, service tech. was very knowledgable and completed the work professional and promptly. I have many more project for them in the future.
Quick, professional, high quality, friendly service
I wanted to move a rather ornate, (iron w/ hanging crystals & beads) lighted ceiling fan from a parlor room to a great room and hang an antler chandelier to replace the ceiling fan. Coltech called immediately after posting. The person on the phone was friendly and helpful and gave me a quote not he work to be performed.. Set up an appointment on my schedule. on the day of the install, Coltech called 20 minutes prior to arriving (on time) quickly -re-assessed the job and adjusted their quote down from what was quoted on the phone. The installer was friendly and focused, accomplishing the job in short order, left the place as clean as when he arrived. Very satisfied all the way around. I would recommend them to others.
High quality service, Reliable
James and David were terrific to work with. They were right on time and explained all the work to us. We had exterior and interior work done. They were very professional and friendly. They did a great and cleaned up after the project was finished. While they were there, we asked them to go to our neighbors and help install a porch light. They were glad to help. I would not hesitate to use Coltech for all my electrical jobs, infact I am scheduling them back out to install a ceiling fan and mount my TV on the wall.
Electrical work
James did a great job, was very helpful with his information and the efficiency with which he installed the fan and light fixture, looking forward to working with him again.
Would call them again!
James arrived when he said he would, did the job and we are very satisfied with the service.
I wish everyone was as good ! On time! Easy to communicate with! Will make you happy with the experience! Will use again for my electrical needs quick! Knowledgeable !
Excellent service
James the contractor was absolutely wonderful. He iwas very knowledgeable about his work. He was professional courteous, and efficient. I was very impressed with the fact that he cleaned up after himself. He even volunteered to trash the empty box. At the end he gave me some suggestions regarding my kitchen fixtures and front door fixture without any pressure! I definitely will use this company again and recommend to my family and friends.
Outstanding Service
We needed service on a bank of back yard lights that were not working. We were holding a memorial service for a family member that night and needed those lights to work. The service technicians arrived promptly and were very professional. The diagnostic and repairs were made within 2 hours and they found that the original wiring was not to code and could have been a fire hazard. I would highly recommend this group of professionals.
Wonderful Expirience
They installed two new outlets, two new fixtures one inside one outside and rewired a bedroom. They were very polite, clean and a pleasure to work with. Will use them in all future projects
James and David were considerate of my home and belongings. They were fast, clean, respectful and the price was great. I would use them again and recommend them to my friends. Thank you James and David!
Electrical Upgrade - Duplex
Excellent work at fair price. On time and completed job as scheduled. I especially appreciated regular communication and having things explained to me. Part of the repair was an "emergency," so permits and utility company had to be consulted. The price was much better than other bids for the same work.
Good customer service and quality work.
Prompt, courteous, polite and I would hire these guys again anytime. Thanks for the good work ColTech. You guys are solid.
Great service
Showed up on time, they were fast, efficient, and the cost was cheaper than other places I had looked! Would definitely use them again!
i made a good choice
My experience might be a bit unique in that I had to conduct business with James completely sight unseen as I currently reside in NJ and my retirement home is in AZ. Using Home advisers I was contacted almost immediately by James. His promptness was impressive. It was a weekend but he meet up with one of my neighbors on a Sunday to get into the home to give me an estimate which was detailed. He also helped solve the logistical problem of picking up the 3 ceiling fans I wanted installed from Lowes for me. He gave me a date for the install was on time. I am very pleased and I look forward to trying out the fans when I get out there shortly. I guess the best recommendation is to say I would use them again.
Coltech Electric
These gentlemen did a service call at my Mothers home. They called before they got there to let her know they were coming. The time of arrival given was exact in fact maybe even a few minutes early. As for the service, we were 100 percent satisfied. They quoted a price to run diagnostic test and were able to fix the problem within a few minutes and charged only the price for the diagnostics. They made my Mother feel comfortable and understood that she was on a fixed budget. Did make recommendations for future safety but did not push anything as far as extras on her. We will recommend this company to anyone needing recommendations as well as call them back in the future for any necessary work we may require. Thanks for the great customer service gentlemen..
COLTECH was sensational...
Very good team!! professional, punctual and left my house as clean as it was before they came. (with better lighting :-) ) Seriously, great company, competitive pricing, hire them without a thought. they are great!! Brian and Teresa , Cave Creek 2015
These guys were great!!! They arrived on time and were very efficient. Their price was very reasonable. I had everything from bathroom fixtures to a chandelier to hang. They always checked to see if the placement of the fixtures was where I wanted them. They were very neat and cleaned up every room as they were finished. I love my new home even more with all the fixtures hung.!!! I would not hesitate to recommend Coltech to everyone. Thank you Coltech!!!!
Very helpful and professional
The techs that were sent out were extremely thorough and efficient! The repair was done very quickly and they were on their way. I will absolutely use Coltech again if needed and recommend them to friends and family!
They really came through for me.
I was doing my own installation of new GFI's at my apartment complex and ran into some problems. I called around and could not find an electrician who could help me right away. James talked me through the immediate issue and offered to come out in the morning to do a more permanent fix. His willingness to talk to me right then helped put myself and the tenant at ease. I had James and David finish the job for me and was glad to pay their reasonable rates to get it done right. Mark
Installed Cilling Fan.
True professional's
James and David of Coltech arrived at the designated time for my appointment to give me an estimate for the work I needed done. They were dressed professionally and were concise in their written estimate as to what they would do to correct my electrical issues. They were the 2nd of four (4) estimates I had appointments for on that day. It turned out they gave me the best price for the work to be done. On the day the work was to be done they called about 30 minutes before the time scheduled and said they could be there early if that was acceptable. They just didn't show up early unannounced. When they arrived they started their work immediately even though I offered them fresh ground Kona coffee and Bosa donuts. They did partake when the work was completed. They explained what they had done and if I had any issues with the work, they said, please call. When they found out I was a Veteran, they took an additional ten (10) percent off of my bill, which I greatly appreciated. There is No Doubt, I will be recommending Coltech Electrical Services to all of my friends and relatives.
Very positive experience. Professional, did a good job, cleaned up before leaving and I would recommend this company.
Very Professional -job is done right the first time.
Have used Coltech Electric for several residential projects for my own home as well as my rental properties. I was extremely grateful that while doing another project they diagnosed a potential fire hazard in one of my rental homes. They are very professional and the job is done right the first time.
Always reliable and honest with repairs
I have used James for several years now and know that I can always trust that it will be done professionally. I tried a few others and had to call him to fix their mistakes. I highly recommend his company and talents.
Service Review
I was more than satisfied with the service that Coltech provided. They were very professional and know what they were doing. I would definately recommend them.
Excellent and honest work
Truly appreciate the Coltech team for quick service, fair prices and an honest evaluation. Very nice men who care about their work and more importantly about my needs. They really went above & beyond
Great communication
Responsive and on time. Good people.
Great Job
James and David were both very professional and did great work. They were also quick, communicated with us on any issues that arose and were very fair on their price. They will be coming back in two weeks to do more work. Highly recommend them.
Wonderful experience!
James and Dave arrived on time and were very honest about what I could expect from the electrical repair work needed. They did the electrical repair in a very professional, neat and timely manner. The charge was reasonable and fair. James and Dave even went above and beyond and changed an electrical switch that was not working and did not charge me. I would definitely use Coltech Electrical Services again and will recommend them to my friends. Trish Baldoni
Well Done
James and David showed up on time - installed 4 fans in a quick and efficient manner. Cleaned up afterwards and were very polite and helpful as they went about completing the tasks they were hired to do. They even did a couple of maintenance fixes on some fire alarms and a light that had a short on their way out to keep my family safe. Will definitely use them again - as they were on time on price and just good guys to work with.
Did an excellent job. They were on time, cleaned up any mess , did the work for the estimated cost and were very professional, and would have them back for electrical needs in the future.
Henry Hall Bath Remodel
I have used Coltech for electrical work for over a decade. The work is professional, reasonable and punctual with top notch attention to detail. Coltech creates an environment where the Customer plays a role in solutioning the best approach to deliver the electrical needs. They actively listen to the desired end result, take into account budgets, timing and necessary resources then translate that into a variety of options for the Customer. They were there when they said they'd be there, did what they said they'd do (without throwing in extras to increase costs) and kept positive, can do it attitudes when discovering 'surprises' behind the walls that could have derailed initial plans. In an age where Customer Service is a lost art, Coltech strives to ensure the Customer is 100% satisfied and, if they aren't, goes the extra mile with a smile.
Electrical Work
James and David were excellent in their knowledge, workmanship, and came up with a wonderful suggestion regarding a low hanging extension cord in the garage that had been there for years. They made us feel at ease and reassured that they knew exactly what was needed. They cleaned up all waste and left everything better than it was. Thank you.
Very Professional Service
Dave and James did a great job fixing my electrical. They explained everything and did a great job. I would hire them back again. I also hired them now for my rental properties.
Very professional team!!! Easy to work with & they do great work at reasonable prices!
Was very pleased, James and David called early and asked if they would be able to arrive a little earlier than their appointment. When they came they were very thorough with the diagnostics of my problem, repaired it, and installed an outlet on my wrap around porch. Very professional clean, and polite. Will use them again. Gerry Bohne
True quality workmanship!
James and David have done multiple projects at our home. Every job has been prompt, and done right the first time. The workmanship is excellent and prices are reasonable for what is being done. I highly recommend them to all who are looking for a diligent professional contractor who will not only do quality work but also provide insights that could save money and achieve the same goals.
Great service
This is an excellent company with great customer service. I didn't have an electrician before but I do now! I highly recommend them!
It was a pleasure doing business with Coltech.
Excellent service with very reasonable rates. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs electrical work done at their home.
Guest House Remodel
We found Coltech on homeadvisors.com and were impressed from the start upon receiving a call from them within about 15 minutes of the search. They came out promptly and provided a solid quote(not an estimate) on our guest house project which included moving and rewiring a number of outlets, adding some new outlets and troubleshooting some existing electrical issues. We were pleased with the quote and agreed to have them do the job. They here as scheduled, completed everything in one day and on time and cleaned everything up. We will definitely use them again.
Great and friendly service!
This was my first experience with this company and I will never use another company. They were excellent, honest, reasonable, knowledgeable, and really showed they cared about taking care of the customer. This was the best experience i have ever had and I would highly recommend that if anyone needs an electrician, this is the company to call. You would never regret making that phone call.
Excellent Service
Very knowledgeable, had some extra outlets and switches installed for a backyard wedding I am preparing for and they sat down with me and we figured out the best way to do exactly what I want. Everything looks very clean and works perfectly. Also had outlets installed for my washer and dryer and they work perfectly, even being beaten up but the Arizona sun for 2 summers now. I highly recommend.

Have you ever wondered why it's called "salt water taffy" when there's no salt water in it? How about how to make gummy bears or homemade marshmallow chicks (yup, I'm talking about Peeps)?
If so, then treat yourself to a copy of Anita Chu's Field Guide to Candy from Quirk Books. While you're at it, you might want to treat a foodie friend to a copy as well because it's a great Christmas gift. (In full disclosure, I am writing two books for Quirk Books. They have donated this book for the give-away, but I am not being remunerated for this post.)
This little book is packed full with over 100 candy recipes that are divided into playful categories, such as "cream, sticky, chewy," "nutty," and "fun and simple classics." Anita includes just about every type of candy imaginable from American classics, such as Peppermint Patties, Caramel Corn, and Gumdrops to international confections, such as Chinese Date-Walnut Candy, Sesame Halva, and French Pralines. Each recipe is preceded by a brief history that offers both informative facts and quirky food history tidbits.
Just reading through the book will likely give you a much greater appreciation for candy-making, which can be quite challenging. To help you out, each recipe comes with handy icons reminding you to, say, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or to use a food processor. Anita's instructions are clear and detailed, though some recipes require candy-making skills and/or lots of patience (which I sorely lack). Fortunately, there are plenty of beginner-level candy recipes for those of us who aren't yet ready to tackle marzipan fruit. There are also attractive color photos of all of the candies as well as a thorough introduction to candy making, including essential kitchen tools and notes on working with chocolate and sugar.
You can roll sugar plums in either shredded coconut or confectioners' sugar.
Since it's Christmas time, I chose to make Anita's Sugar Plums recipe. Anita writes, "When visions of sugarplums dance in children's heads, it would be interesting to know exactly what sugarplums they dream of." She explains that historically "sugarplums," referred to a wide variety of candies, but more recently have come to refer to "soft, sticky balls of dried fruits and nuts, often rolled in shredded coconut or confectioners' sugar. They do not necessarily contain plums."
According to Anita, "Sugarplums were immortalized in Clement Clarke Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nicolas" and "Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy in the Nutcracker." Hence our association of sugarplums with Christmas. That's why I'm adding my sugarplums to the stash of Christmas cookies we've got here.

2 cups almonds, toasted and roughly chopped
1 cup dried apricots
1 cup pitted dates
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons orange juice

Fact: More than 60% of all search traffic will go to the first 3 organic Search Engine Results.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is having a recipe that ensures your site will be found when customers search for key-phrases that relate to your site in search engines like Google. To be successful, this recipe must involve a combination of onsite and offsite ingredients. Being able to measure and assess all of the variables used to predict the outcome of a particular approach, is the strong point that we have over our competitors. If you understand what your customers are looking for, Team Oaks Hosting has a program to put your business on the first page of the SERP (Search Engine Results Page) for those important key-phrases. Team Oaks does this by understanding the SEO important metrics and using a combination of onsite and offsite techniques that specifically target weak areas in your site.
Onsite SEO
Onsite Optimization is usually the easiest to implement and is the critical base on which all other SEO work builds. Unfortunately this important aspect is either done poorly or overlooked completely by most web designers. Onsite Optimization includes analyzing overall site structure and internal linking, checking for proper tag usage. as well as correct keyword and key-phrase targeting. Sometimes rebuilding or updating your entire site with these elements in mind is necessary.
Offsite SEO
Offsite Optimization is more difficult and usually less well understood. Key elements like Page and Domain Authority need to be built up over time. The primary way to do this is by earning External Links with relevant Anchor Text from other quality sites.

At CrownBingo we are committed to promoting responsible gambling. We want to provide an online gambling experience which is safe and enjoyable for all our players. The majority of online gamblers do so for fun, know their limits and gamble responsibly. However, we recognise that a small number of players struggle to control their gambling, and we have a commitment to protect this vulnerable minority.
At CrownBingo we put the customer first and make available a range of advice and gambling control measures designed to help you manage your gambling, and to ensure that gambling remains a fun, safe leisure pursuit. This includes:
· Support groups & organisations
· Self-assessment
· Advice on keeping in control
· Deposit Limits
· Reality Check
· Time-Out
· Self-exclusion
· Parental Controls
Our customer service staff are trained to recognise signs of problem gambling and addiction and are available to listen and support you in keeping in control of your gambling. If you would like to talk to someone about a potential problem with gambling, please contact our Customer Support team.
Customers experiencing gambling problems and others affected by problem gambling (including friends and family) should seek help. The following organisations are available to provide free and confidential advice on matters of problem gambling.
GamCare is a registered charity that provides confidential telephone support and counselling to anyone who is affected by problem gambling.
GamCare can be contacted on 0808 8020 133 (freephone from UK) or by visiting their website at www.gamcare.org.uk

If you are concerned about your gambling (or about someone else's) you can consider the following problem gambling self-assessment questions, to help you consider whether you (or someone else) may have a problem.
· Do you stay away from work or college to gamble?
· Do you gamble to escape from a boring or unhappy life?
· If you run out of money when you're gambling do you feel lost and in despair, and want to find money to gamble again as soon as possible?
· After losing, do you feel you must try and win back your losses as soon as possible?
· Have you lied, stolen or borrowed just to get money to gamble or pay gambling debts?
· Do you gamble until your money runs out?
· Have you ever lied to cover up the amount of money or time you have spent gambling?
· Have you lost interest in your family, friends or hobbies because of your gambling?
· Are you getting into debt because of your gambling?
· Have others ever criticised your gambling?
· Are you reluctant to spend 'gambling money' on anything else?
· Do arguments, frustrations or disappointments make you want to gamble?
· Do you feel depressed or even suicidal because of your gambling?
The more you or your friend/family member answers 'yes' to these questions, the more likely it is that you or they may have a gambling problem.
If you feel you have a gambling problem then we strongly advise you to tackle it as soon as possible. Admitting you have a problem is not a sign of weakness - it is the first step to reclaiming your life.
Customer Support team can point you in the right direction or you can contact GamCare directly. They have an excellent website and discussion forum and can be contacted by phone on 0808 8020 133 FREE
We believe that gambling should always be an enjoyable leisure activity. Remembering these simple tips can help make sure your gambling doesn't become a problem.
· Make sure you're aware of the potential risk of problem gambling before you start
· Play sensibly and never chase your losses.
· Only gamble what you can afford to lose. Establish limits for purchasing, wagering and even losses before you start gambling and stick to them. Use our Deposit Limits tool to manage the amount of money you spend (see further below)
· Set yourself a time limit before you start gambling and stick to it. Use our Reality Check tool (see further below) to remind you how long you've been playing.
· Don't let gambling interfere with your daily life; ensure you have completed all of your daily responsibilities before you start gambling.
· Do not turn to gambling as an alternative source of income or as a way to recoup debt.
· Do not gamble if you are in recovery for any dependency or if you are under the influence of alcohol or any other substance
· For information on how to gamble responsibly and on dealing with gambling problems please contact your Customer Support team.

You can also contact us by emailing customer support or via Live Chat and our Customer Support Team will be able to help you set your limits.
You can also make changes to your deposit limit within the 'My Account' section - Go to Deposit Limits. If you wish to lower your deposit limit, this change will take effect immediately.
This limit will only apply to your Account on the Website, if you have accounts on other LeoVegas operated sites you must set your preferred limit by account by site.
Before increasing your deposit limits, we recommend that you carefully consider if you can afford to do so. Never decide to increase your limit because you have lost money and think that you will win it back by gambling more. If you wish to increase a limit you will need to wait 24 hours before we action your request and then return to our site to confirm that you still wish to increase it.
To help you manage the amount of time you spend playing, you can set up a Reality Check alert on your account - Go to Reality Check alert settings. Once set, a pop-up alert will be displayed as a reminder that you have been playing for the time interval selected. You will be required to acknowledge the reality check to continue playing or exit the game.
You can set or amend your Reality Check by going to the 'Responsible Gambling' tab of the 'My Account' section and choosing Reality Checks when logged into your account.
If you would like to take a temporary break from gambling you can use our Time Out feature to take a break of between 1 day and 6 weeks. You can take a Time-Out via the 'Responsible Gambling' tab of the 'My Account' section and select the duration of time you wish to take a break from gambling. Go to Time Out settings here
Once you begin your Time-Out you will not be able to access the site again until your selected break has ended. Your account will automatically re-open after your break has finished.
If you want to stop yourself gambling for a longer period of time you should consider total self exclusion

Once you have opted to self-exclude, opening a further account during the term of self-exclusion will void all transactions and forfeit any winnings.
Whilst your self exclusion is valid, under our Responsible Gaming policy you will not be permitted to open new accounts on any sites operating on the IP&S licence. For a full list of sites operating on the IP&S licence click here.
For the period of Self Exclusion we will endeavour to not send you any marketing material or promotional offers, but this can take 48 hours to come into effect after you opt to self-exclude.
If you wish to use this facility please contact Customer Services or use our live help facility to talk to a member of our highly trained Customer Support team, who will be able to assist you. Alternatively, you have the option to Self-Exclude in the My Account section under Responsible Gaming when logged into your account.
We encourage any customer wishing to Self-Exclude to also seek exclusion from all other operators of gambling sites that they hold accounts with.
We recommend that you seek support from a problem gambling support service to help you deal with your problem (see above).

Not much real reviews on the Orpheus is out there, mainly because the people who own them are reluctant to give reviews.... thank you!
Sennheiser Orpheus HE 90 headphones
Sennheiser Orpheus
Did I just say that headphones are a secondary means of listening for most audiophiles? Take one look at the Sennheiser Orpheus's price tag and you might wonder who would consider such a device a secondary system. Its import duty alone must be higher than the entire price of all but a handful of other 'phones. I can't imagine anyone who listens primarily through loudspeakers purchasing these 'phonesbut then, I can't afford a Ferrari, either.
Because of its high price (undoubtedly made worse by the strength of the Deutschmark), the Orpheus is strictly a limited editiononly 300 sets will be constructed for sale worldwide, which means no economies of scale. If you build fewer of something because it's expensive, it'll be even more expensive.
If looks could kill, the Orpheus would be deadly. The well-made headphones look conservative, but what catches your eye is Spaceship Sennheiserthe HEV 90 tube amplifier which provides the required step-up and interfacing to drive the headphones themselves. Its Art Deco design is simply striking. With its polished aluminum surfaces, six visible tubes covered with shiny tube shields, black accents, and wood trim, it would look equally at home in a listening room of almost any period or in a Flash Gordon movieit looks expensive. At the front are jacks for two headsetsan extra pair of which could be yours for an additional $6500. Two separate level controls would've been a nice touch, but there's only one, camouflaged as the cap of the shiny pillar located front and center. A red LED on the chassis, located just to the rear of the tubes, blinks while the unit is warming up, then shines steadily once the circuits are stabilized and ready for operation.
The Orpheus amplifier replaces the conventional on-off switch with a lock on the side of the chassis, but only one key is providedif you lose it and haven't had a duplicate made, you'll have to get another from the manufacturer. Until then, you'll be out of business. I think this is an ill-considered security featureyour friendly neighborhood burglar won't know it can't be turned on without the key until it's too late to do you any good. But perhaps it was designed this way to keep housebound teenagers from warping the Orpheus with heavy-metal. Unfortunately (for their ears), with its rated 118dB maximum outputwhich I did not attempt to testit's apparently designed to handle such abuse.
The fuse panel (be careful to use the right size of fuse to ensure the correct voltage) and three inputs are located on the amplifier's rear. The HEV 90 may be used either from its conventional analog inputs or from optical (TosLink) or coaxial (S/PDIF) digital inputs. Sennheiser provides no information on the HEV 90's DAC other than that it's a Bitstream (one-bit) design.
The HEV 90's push-pull output stage, which is designed for class-A operation, runs quite hot. Because both tube outputs and electrostatic headphone diaphragms are of inherently high impedance, the HEV 90 drives the headset directly without the need for output transformers.
While Sennheiser is best known for their headphones, they're perhaps better known in the pro audio world for their microphones. Making use of this experience, Sennheiser has fabricated the electrostatic diaphragms of the Orpheus headphones with a 1;umthick, gold-coated polymer foil. The electrodes required in an electrostatic design are made of high-strength glass with a honeycomb of perforations. One side of each of the two electrodesone for each side of the diaphragmis gold-plated. They're both clearly visible, front and rear, through heavy stainless-steel protective mesh screens.
There's no question that the Sennheiser Orpheus's cost is intimidating. Despite the fact that reviewers are often accused of rating by price, more often than not the reverse is the case: We're all from Missouri here, at least in spirit; above a certain price we begin to expect great things. If we don't get them, the caution flag comes out real fast. In the case of the Orpheus, we're talking about a set of headphones that costs as much as a complete Class B system selected with reasonable restraint. And while the Orpheus is a bit more than just a set of headphones, it's still the most expensive component of its kind (by a huge margin) known to me.

Castle Rock Project Green
Our environmental commitment
Reducing consumption of resources has positive impacts on the local environment.
In 2008, Town Council inspired staff to volunteer their time to build a more sustainable Castle Rock to benefit Town residents and our unique and beautiful region. Town staff created an environmental sustainability program called Project Green. The broadly focused program includes energy and water conservation, solid-waste recycling and other areas to help sustain the natural environment and be responsible stewards of the Town's resources.
Air quality
Reducing emissions
We are reducing emissions from Town vehicles by increasing our inventory of hybrid vehicles. Each vehicle saves more than $2,000 a year in fuel and reduces the Town's greenhouse gas emissions by more than 8,000 pounds per year. The Town also has increased its use of E-85 ethanol fuel.
Reducing vehicle wait times
Traffic lights around Town have been timed to reduce vehicle wait times at intersections. Reducing idle times saves gas money and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Development and building
Building codes
Among the Town's building codes is the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code.
Endangered species
Parts of Town are home to an endangered species, the Preble's meadow jumping mouse. A habitat conservation plan for this species also preserved habitats for other native animals such as waterfowl, beavers, foxes and deer while providing residents with beautiful hiking and biking pathways along the East Plum Creek.
Open spaces
For wildlife conservation and human recreation, the Town of Castle Rock and Douglas County have preserved hundreds of acres of land as open spaces.
Energy-efficient lighting in Castle Rock
Many traffic signals in Town have been converted to LED lights, which not only save money but also reduce the amount of coal necessary to produce the electricity.
Energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting is being installed in Town buildings on an ongoing basis as lights burn out. Each compact fluorescent light bulb reduces electricity consumption by 70-80 percent.
Water conservation
Red Hawk Ridge Golf Course and Town parks have sophisticated irrigation systems with weather stations that water only as much as is called for by real-time weather conditions.
Water conservation classes
The Town provides free Water Wiser classes to teach residents how to more efficiently water.
The Town provides classes to instruct property owners and residents on the principles of xeric landscaping and teaches xeric options for perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs and grasses.
Long-term water
The Town is working to ensure water for our future through the long-term water master plan. Castle Rock Water has also been recognized by the State for voluntary efforts in environmental sustainability.
Flooding and water control management
To prevent flooding and control water management, extensive stormwater systems have been installed and are monitored to protect water quality and personal property.
Other efforts
- The Recreation Guide and other Town publications are printed with soy-based inks on recycled paper.
- The Police Department recycles its bullet casings and bulletproof vests.
- Firefighter bunker gear is kept as a spare rather being replaced every three years.
- The Parks Department collects branches and leaves during cleanups and reuses them to stabilize slopes and prevent water runoff.
- The Town implemented a "Turn it off, Add it Up" program to remind employees to turn off the lights of rooms they are not using to reduce electricity use in the buildings. The Town also implemented energy saving standards for heating and air-conditioning in Town Facilities. During the heating and cooling seasons, thermostats are adjusted to reduce energy consumption round the clock.
- Town staff members recycle, paper, glass, aluminum, batteries, cardboard, cell phones, plastic, printer and copier toner cartridges and tires.
- In an effort to reduce the effects of chemical fertilizers on the local water resources, golf courses and parks around Town have use organic fertilizer and compost to nurture lawns and landscapes.
Bronze Environmental Achievement Award
The State of Colorado awarded its Bronze Environmental Achievement Award to the Town of Castle Rock, recognizing its "voluntary and significant environmental achievements."
As a Bronze level member of the Environmental Leadership Program, the Town was recognized at the ELP awards in October 2008. Because of his designation, the Town is being offered a number of incentives to enhance its environmental efforts.

For more information, call the Facilities and Risk Management Division or Project Green, 303-660-1066.

Theodore and Nancy Sizer describe, with passion, wisdom, and diligence, what a moral school could look like. –Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund
"Theodore Sizer and Nancy Faust Sizer have been on the front lines of the school reform battle for decades." –Newsweek
"Teaching is a moral profession, and the Sizers provide us with invaluable insights into the way in which values play themselves out in the lives of children and teachers." –Herbert Kohl, author of The Discipline of Hope
"The power of a good school to grow good people who can reinvigorate public life is enormous-and the Sizers have got it just right. It isn't an 'add-on' but part-and-parcel of the whole enterprise-as it has been part-and-parcel of their own lives." –Deborah Meier, author of The Power of Their Ideas
"The Sizers offer us an important and clarifying book on a subject that begs for their exceptional thoughtfulness-the moral aspects of education, explained here, suggestively and astutely, by two wise, experienced teachers." –Robert Coles, author of The Moral Life of Children
"This book is a must-read for anybody concerned with character education, moral teaching, or simply with the values of our children. Carefully thought out, cutting edge, and completely compelling." –Amitai Etzioni, author of The New Golden Rule
"Theodore Sizer looms as a giant on the American educational landscape. . . . [The Students Are Watching] packs a mammoth wallop to the status quo with arguments rarely addressed to political leaders who make educational decisions." –Muriel Cohen, The Boston Globe
