Amazon Offers Fire TV Soundbar for Practically Free to Clear Out Stock Just Before Prime Day
It's never a bad time to elevate your home entertainment setup whether it's in your living room, bedroom or home theater, especially if you love hosting. Don't underestimate just how important audio is when it comes to immersive viewing. What you want is a really good sound system, and the good news is you don't need to break the bank to install one. Right now, Amazon has its Fire TV soundbar on sale for 29% off. Normally going for $120, that discount is enough to bring this television audio accessory down to $85—its lowest price ever. See at Amazon The movie-watching experience is built on two part, picture and sound—and people drastically undervalue the importance of the latter. You can have the best picture in the world available, but it won't leave its full impact if the audio is coming out of the TV's built-in speakers. The best way to improve your home audio for watching movies, football games, and big budget TV shows without breaking your own budget is with a soundbar. Amazon's 2.0 channel soundbar has a built-in tweeter and a deep, powerful bass. The slim design makes it perfect for smaller living spaces like those apartment-living in the city. It rests easily on top of your TV stand or can be mounted to the wall, whichever you prefer. It's only 24″ across so it can fit pretty much anywhere without sacrificing sound quality. The soundbar connects to your TV easily using HDMI ARC and then fills your room with spectacular sound thanks to the DTS Virtual:X surround sound. This emulates full, 3D cinema quality sound and makes it so you have a great listening experience no matter where you are sitting in relation to the soundbar. Take the sound even further with Dolby Audio-supported entertainment. It's just plug and play. Once connected, your audio output should change instantly from the TV speakers to your new soundbar. You can even connect to your phone or other devices to listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more using either USB or Bluetooth. The Fire TV soundbar works seamlessly with Fire TV smart TVs and streaming media players, so you will only need one remote to control your TV and your audio. Just use the remote that came with you Fire TV. So if you're ready to turn your back on the low-quality audio you TV's built-in speakers are providing you, you can upgrade to the Fire TV soundbar for the low price of $85 over at Amazon.

Demolition of abandoned building in downtown Red Deer postponed
The Empire Building in Red Deer in June 2024. (Google Street View) An abandoned building in Red Deer's downtown that was slated for demolition starting Friday will remain standing for now. The city announced earlier this week that crews would begin tearing down the Empire Building at 4909 48 St. starting Friday. On Thursday, officials announced the demolition had been put on pause. 'Due to some unexpected circumstances and an abundance of caution, the demolition will be postponed while the contractor proceeds with investigation and preparation work,' the city said in a news release. 'When a new timeline is determined, we will provide an update.' The building has sat empty since a fire in October 2021 despite calls from residents to demolish it.

Review – Absolute Martian Manhunter #4: City of Rage
Absolute Martian Manhunter #4 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: Of all the Absolute books, this is the one that feels the most set apart from the larger universe it takes place in. It's a strange cosmic sci-fi thriller heavily set in one man's mind after he survives a traumatic event. But that doesn't mean it has less on its mind – quite the opposite. As John Jones tries to navigate his troubled marriage and the strange alien passenger inside his mind, things start boiling over – literally. The city is in the middle of a heat wave, with 100+ temperatures for weeks at a time, and people are starting to lose it. One violent scene after another erupts, with people beating each other to death or close over minor events – a spilled coffee, a traffic stop, a zoning dispute. It perfectly captures the ugly vibe of what happens when people take leave of its senses – but given what the Martian warned John about last issue, is this truly humanity at its worse or something more evil? Boiling point. Via DC Comics. While the escalating tensions in the city are incredibly harsh, the tension building at home is even more so. John's wife has been slowly losing her mind over the course of this issue – with John barely able to talk to her, ignoring their son, and spending all his time at work, she feels like there's a stranger in her house. Of course, given what we know, she just might be right. John himself keeps the reader at arm's length, so there's always been a bit of ambiguity about what's happened to him. What isn't ambiguous is how good this comic is – not only is the storytelling brilliant, but the colorful and surreal art is some of DC's best at the moment. All the Absolute books have a near-perfect fusion of story and art, in a way that's pretty rare to see in comics these days. It all comes together into a book that feels like it could have come out of the Golden Age of Vertigo, but with a superhero twist. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week.
