Nothing says All American City quite like fifty dollar parking tickets for forgetting to put a two cent placard up on the dashboard.

Anyone know how to weld a TV circuit board?

I'm looking for anyone who is savvy with TVs, Computers, or other electronics and can replace a capacitor on the power board for my plasma TV.

I have isolated the problem, and removed the board, now I need someone who knows what they are doing to take a look and replace the part. Does anyone have this skill, or can anyone recommend a good repair shop that wont totally rip me off on what should be a 20 min job to replace a $1.84 part?

art in Davis Square store windows

[ron_newman]

from the Somerville Arts Council e-mail list:

Kathleen Finlay, A Somerville Arts Council Artists Fellowship grant winner, for her community benefit project, has installed large scale needles and thread configurations in window fronts of 3 local businesses. Each window has a different arrangement of needle and stitches. It is an installation of gesture and scale.

The large size and the location of the setup is disconcerting and surprising as well as humorous. The windows are in different sectors of Davis Square. As people look for the similar elements placed around the square, it is hoped that one is drawn into seeing things about their environment and activities that have gone unnoticed.

LOCATIONS:

1. Wedgewood-Crane & Connolly, 19 College Ave.
2. Sewing & Vacuum center, 280 Elm Street.
3. La Chic Boutique, 235A Elm Street

This is a community benefit project by Kathleen Finlay, a Somerville Arts Council Artists Fellowship grant winner. This project is supported in part by a grant from the Somerville Arts Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
