INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 30, 2011)—Making her first appearance in a Grade I, Dubawi Heights won her fourth in a row, wearing down pacesetter Celtic Princess late to take the $250,000 Gamely Stakes by a head Monday at Hollywood Park.
A winner of the Grade III Wilshire Handicap in her initial start of the Spring/Summer meet, Dubawi Heights was never far off the moderate fractions under jockey Joel Rosario, then got the lead outside Celtic Princess, a 9-1 shot making her first start of 2011, in the final strides.
Trained by Simon Callaghan for a partnership that includes his father Neville, Clodagh McStay, M.V. Magnier and Annabel Wyatt, the 4-year-old English bred lost the first eight starts of her career in her homeland and the United States before beginning her roll.
The first win for the 4-year-old Dubawi filly out of the Suave Dancer mare Rosie's Posy came against maidens last Nov. 20 on the Hollywood Park turf. She followed with an allowance score April 1 at Santa Anita before her Wilshire and Gamely wins. Her latest grass success increased her earnings to $655,196.
Completing the 1/18 miles in 1:47.29, Dubawi Heights, the 9-2 third choice in the field of eight, paid $11.40, $7 and $3.80.
Celtic Princess, who won gate-to-wire last Dec. 30 at Santa Anita in her first start for trainer A C Avila, paid $12 and $5. Cozi Rosie, the 19-10 favorite who finished 1 ¾ lengths behind Celtic Princess, returned $3 to show.
Restless Soul, the second longest shot in the cast at 27-1, was fourth, 1 ½ lengths back of Cozi Rosie, then came Malibu Pier, the 2-1 second choice, Éclair de Lune, Turning Top, who is also trained by Callaghan, and Madera Castana.
"Everything we've asked, she's really come well for us, this filly,'' said Callaghan after the first Grade I victory of his career. "She's really improved and progressed each time.
"She was a good filly in Europe, stakes placed as a 2-year-old, but she's had various injuries and setbacks which kept her off the track as a 3-year-old. She's getting better with age and maturing. Getting a Grade I means everything. I am delighted for all of the owners. It's fantastic. I couldn't be happier.''
Callaghan indicated Dubawi Heights could be pointed to the Beverly D. Stakes, a Grade I at 1 3/16 miles on turf which will be run Aug. 13 at Arlington Park.
The win was a meet high eighth in a stakes for Rosario and his first in the Gamely.
"That horse in front (Celtic Princess) got such an easy lead early, but my filly was traveling really nice and I had a lot of confidence in her,'' said Rosario. "Last year when I rode her she was behind horses and had a lot of trouble. Now she showed me that she can run through anything. I can see the improvement from race to race. She gets a hold of the track a lot better. The more she races, the better she gets.''
Rafael Bejarano, who rode the runner-up, was certainly happy with the effort he got from the Brazilian bred.
"At the top of the stretch, I thought I was going to win the race because I had so much confidence in her and she tries so hard,'' said Bejarano, who won this event in 2010 with the late Tuscan Evening and with Precious Kitten in 2008. "She showed me a big kick. My horse and the other horse (Dubawi Heights) were the only two that kept running. They both finished really strong.''
Nine days after being disqualified out of a graded stakes win with St Trinians in the Milady Handicap, trainer Mike Mitchell and jockey Joe Talamo had the stewards' decision go their way in the $100,000 Los Angeles Handicap.
A Grade III at six furlongs over Cushion Track, the Los Angeles was run about 40 minutes before the Gamely.
Camp Victory, who was second, beaten a half-length, crossing the finish line, was awarded the victory after original winner Amazombie was disqualified and placed third for an incident in the stretch.
Rallying under jockey Mike Smith, Amazombie, who was shooting for his third win in a row, lacked room behind horses, then angled out under left handed urging, bumping with M One Rifle, who, then bumped with Camp Victory.
Stewards Scott Chaney, Kim Sawyer and Tom Ward ruled that Amazombie "went for a hole without sufficient clearance'', causing interference to both M One Rifle and Camp Victory and "costing both horses a chance at a better placing.''
Claimed for $40,000 by Mitchell for a partnership Feb. 13 at Santa Anita, Camp Victory, who raced in blinkers for the first time in the Los Angeles, has won two of three for his current connections. His lone loss was by a nose to favored Regally Ready in the grassy San Simeon Handicap April 16 in Arcadia.
The stakes win was the second in three days for Talamo, who served the last of a three-day suspension Monday for the Milady disqualification. Talamo, who won the American Handicap, a Grade II, Saturday on 8-1 shot Ryehill Dreamer, was able to ride in both races because of their graded designation.
The 8-1 fourth choice in a field reduced to six after the scratch of Supreme Summit, Camp Victory, a 4-year-old gelded son of Forest Camp and the Clever Trick mare Victory Trick, returned $18.40, $7.40 and $3.80. The final time was 1:08.87. Camp Victory has won seven of 16 and earned $235,986.
M One Rifle paid $4.60 and $2.80. The show price on Amazombie, the 2-1 second choice, was $2.60.
Completing the field were Indian Firewater, Cost of Freedom, the 8-5 favorite who was seeking to become the second two time winner of the Los Angeles Handicap, and Gato Go Win.
A winner of five of his previous 10 races over Cushion Track, Cost of Freedom broke quickly from his outside post, was joined by Indian Firewater on the inside, battled with that one most of the way, then weakened in the final sixteenth.
"My horse did get affected a little bit when (Amazombie) came out,'' said Talamo, who also won the Los Angeles in 2009 with Red Arrow. "He bumped (M One Rifle) and then (M One Rifle) bumped mine pretty good.
"I really thought he was going to win turning for home. Then he got bumped and shifted his weight a little bit. He was athletic enough to pick himself up and get going again.
"I think it would really have been close if I wouldn't have gotten bumped. I felt he had a lot of momentum and then he got bumped sideways. Talk to my agent (Scott McClellan) over there. He's going to put me just on stakes races from now on.''
Smith offered no comment about the Los Angeles.
In Monday's first race, jockey David Flores gained the 900th win of his career at Hollywood Park, directing 9-2 shot Wake Me Now to a neck victory over 6-5 favorite Startjumpin Marnie.
Racing resumes Thursday. Post time is 1 p.m.
The Hollywood Park Casino will be open for dark day simulcasts Tuesday and Wednesday. Admission is free.

5. Heifers and lame cows will suffer first. Natural animal behavior dictates that dominant animals will gain more ready access to stalls. In Hill's research, he found that milk production started to drop in first-calf heifers mixed with older cows when they were just 15 percent overstocked. He found that lame cows started to lose production at the same threshold of 15 percent overstocking when mixed with healthy cows.
It depends…
So what is the ideal stocking density? "Unfortunately, there is no 'magic number,'" says Krawczel. "It really comes down to adjusting up and down from your current level." Barn design, stall design, 2X or 3X milking, location of waterers, weather, bedding and a host of other factors have bearing on the decision, he says, noting that 120 percent is a reasonable number to work around in many cases.
At the Birker Dairy in Iowa, they have arrived at a stocking density of 120 percent for first-calf heifers and 112 percent for higher-parity cows. Ken Birker adds that those numbers always are fluid, and are regularly re-evaluated based on current weather, feed and cow health conditions."
Hill says his experience has shown that stocking density is intricately linked to virtually every aspect of cow health and performance – milk production; udder health and milk quality; fresh-cow health; foot and leg health; estrus expression and reproductive efficiency, and more. Less-than-optimal results in any of those areas could be linked to overstocking.
For example, "a lot of people try switching to 3X milking and are disappointed that they don't see much of a response," shares Hill. "The reason could be that the herd's stocking density is too high, and then they are asking even more of their cows. The cows get even less rest, and they just can't respond with higher production. I firmly believe the most successful dairies are the ones that make their decisions based on what is best for the cow," he says. "If the cows are comfortable and healthy, everybody wins."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 1, 2009) — Whatsthescript, a 29-1 upset winner a year ago, will carry high weight of 120 pounds Saturday as he defends his title in the 70th running of the American Handicap on the Independence Day program at Hollywood Park.
The Irish-bred, owned by Tommy Town Thoroughbreds, will be making his second 2009 start in the Grade II American, which will be contested at 1 1/8 miles on the Lakeside Turf Course. Whatsthescript finished fourth in his season debut on Memorial Day, beaten less than one length in the Shoemaker Mile.
Whatsthescript, a 5-year-old horse by Royal Applause, has won six of 15 starts for earnings of $829,964. He also won the Generous Stakes here as a 2-year-old.
The American, which will run as the eighth race on Saturday's nine-race program, drew a field of six, which lines up as follows from the rail out:
Buenos Dias, with Joseph Talamo up, will carry 113 pounds; Storm Military, Brice Blanc, 117; Giant Gem, Alex Solis, 114; Monterey Jazz, Tyler Baze, 119; Whatsthescript, Joel Rosario, 120, and Artiste Royal, Rafael Bejarano, 118.
Storm Military, third in the Shoemaker Mile, will be aiming to turn the tables on Whatsthescript as he finished second — beaten 1 ¼ lengths — in the 2008 American. The 7-year-old stalked winner Thorn Song throughout the Shoemaker and was only beaten a neck in a three-horse photo. He enters the American with eight wins in 21 starts for earnings of $380,482.
Artiste Royal, an 8-year-old from the Neil Drysdale stable, will shorten up after finishing third in the Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at 1 ¼ miles on turf in June. A winner of seven of 31 starts, each of his three North American wins has come at 1 ¼ miles — the 2007 Clement L. Hirsch, the 2008 Whittingham and the 2009 San Marcos. A victory would push him over the $1-million mark in career earnings as he enters the American with a bankroll of $931,790.
Five-year-old Monterey Jazz, a winner of seven of 18 starts and $580,880, won an allowance race at one mile on turf here in May. He won the Sir Beaufort on turf in his final start at three and captured the Strub at Santa Anita in his debut at four. Four of his victories have come on grass courses.
Gaint Gem, also trained by Drysdale, steps up after an allowance win on turf by three-quarters of a length over Buenos Dias, who was making his North American debut in the June 4 race.
Post time Saturday at Hollywood Park is 1 p.m.

Space is three-dimensional... or is it? In fact, we are all used to living in a curved, multidimensional universe. And a mathematical argument might just explain how those higher dimensions are hidden from view.
String theory predicts there are more than the familiar four dimensions of space-time. But where do those extra dimensions come from? Eva Silverstein is looking for the answer.
A bizarre set of of 8-dimensional numbers could explain how to handle string-theory's extra dimensions, why elementary particles come in families of three... and maybe even how spacetime emerges in four dimensions.
String theory has one very unique consequence that no other theory of physics before has had: it predicts the number of dimensions of space-time. But where are these other dimensions hiding and will we ever observe them?
Learning mathematics involves a progression to higher and higher concepts, building on the foundations of what we have already learnt. But Andrew Irving and Ebrahim Patel explain that no matter how high your mathematical knowledge reaches you must never lose sight of your foundations, no matter how basic they may seem.
Andy Murray and Laura Robson made a good team at London 2012, bringing home silver in the mixed doubles. But how do you make sure that the competing pair is the best you can pick from the team?

Woman charged with aiding and abetting armed robbery
EAST SPENCER — An East Spencer woman was charged with aiding and abetting armed robbery Saturday.
Tanesha Lashonda Turner, of Weant Street, was arrested after authorities said she was present during a recent armed robbery, according to warrants.
In the documents, officers said Turner was with another woman when Jazmine Gaskin of Laurel Point Circle was robbed at gunpoint.
A "burgundy sack with contents from a purse" was taken during the struggle, according to warrants. Authorities said a black handgun was used in the dispute.
The contents were valued at $10.
Turner was charged about 9 a.m. She was later released after posting a $5,000 bond.

Principled Politics?
Most people, we suspect, believe there is more honor among thieves than politicians
- |
- Written by Bill Streeter
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
As always with sweeping statements, there is truth behind them—and also exceptions. Whatever its flaws—and it has its share—our system of government was carefully constructed to ensure that extreme elements cannot dominate—at least not for long. This balance is not a particularly delicate one, however, and often the result is a messy process that lurches erratically from crisis to crisis (cliff to cliff?)and only occasionally rises to true statesmanship.
But as with any endeavor, participants in the political arena choose to operate along the high road or the low road.
If you read the cover story this month (p. 24), you'll come away with a clear sense of where ABA stands in that regard. Several of the trade group's senior staff members counsel strongly against personal politics—that is, letting policy disagreements devolve into a feeling of ill will toward your opponent.
If Congress is a reflection of the people it represents (a sobering thought) then it's clear that taking things personally is a tendency many of us must have. If we think that way, we'll act accordingly, and nothing will be accomplished other than digging an entrenched attitude
even deeper.
Says Mike Hunter, ABA's chief operating officer, "You start disliking someone and you discount everything they say." How true that is. If you like someone, they're confident. If you dislike them, they're obnoxious.
ABA's EVP of Congressional Relations James Ballentine expands on the point, saying, "You may not be a fan of a particular Senator or House member, but that member has a vote. You try to find some areas to work
This isn't easy at any time, but in recent years it has become more difficult, given the highly personalized attacks used by many politicians running for office and in fights over bills. In many ways government has become dysfunctional because of how negative and personal politics has become. ABA has endeavored to walk a more factual, less personal path through this minefield. This approach achieves more than a take-no-prisoners stance.
While ABA does not endorse presidential candidates, clearly the association was not happy about how the industry was portrayed by the Administration. Even so, as Mike Hunter says in the article, the American people gave President Obama a second term, and "you can't
ignore that."
Some might simply call this attitude expedient.In cases it might be.
But principled and practical behavior are not mutually exclusive. In the movie, Lincoln, the 16th President is portrayed as a canny politician as well as a principled man and a determined leader. As Lincoln said in another context, "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends."
It may be a stretch to think of an annoying elected official becoming a friend. Nevertheless a lot can be accomplished by at least being civil and attempting to find common ground.

Claude-Joseph Rouget de Lisle (1760-1836), a French army engineer, wrote the words and music to the "Marseillaise," the national anthem of France, in the course of a single night in April 1792. He intended the song to be used as a marching song by the French Army as it entered the Rhineland, following the outbreak of war between France and Austria and Russia. This recording, made circa 1898-1900, is one of the earliest recordings made of the song. In 1893, Henri Lioret (1848-1938), a watchmaker by trade, developed a conical ...

Truman Posted July 16, 2013 By Ken Hughes Butterfield Reveals Tapes Transcript by Patrick Garrity, Ken Hughes, Erin Mahan, and Keri Matthews "Nixon Bugged Own Offices," the Chicago Tribune marveled on its front page 40 years ago, responding to the astonishing revelation by Alexander P. Butterfield, a little-known White House aide called to testify on July 16, 1973, before the Senate Watergate Committee during a nationally televised hearing. The Secret Service, at President Richard M. Nixon's behest, had installed a voice-activated recording system that automatically recorded his Oval Office conversations, meaning that the Watergate-era question of "What did the President know and when did he know it?" could be answered objectively. For Nixon, it was the beginning of the end. After he lost a long legal struggle to keep his tapes from Watergate investigators, a transcript of one of them revealed that he had illegally obstructed the FBI's investigation of the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters in the Watergate office and apartment complex. Nixon resigned soon after. Nixon had some sense of the risks he was taking with the tapes, as is shown by the following transcript of one from the first day of secret recording, Feb. 16, 1971. It comes from a forthcoming collection of transcripts by the Miller Center's Presidential Recordings Program to be published by Rotunda, the University of Virginia's digital imprint. It will focus on Nixon's first week of secret recording. On the first day of it, he resolved firmly: "I will not be transcribed." Click through to read the transcript.

A Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force case that began Tuesday afternoon in Smith's courtroom involving Tyler Scott Peterson, who was accused of trafficking and selling meth, forgery and marijuana violations, finished Thursday. He was found guilty on all count excepts the misdemeanor marijuana violation.
The 2011 incident stemmed from information received by the DTF involving the sale of meth. Peterson sold meth to an undercover officer and was later apprehended in a traffic stop in which a trafficking amount of meth, cash and marijuana was seized.
"The plans for any of our investigations are to go as high up on the ladder as we can. Essentially, 'Cut the head off the snake' is our philosophy," the case agent testified Tuesday. "The circumstances changed when Mr. Peterson showed up with a large amount of drugs.
"As I thought about this as we were leaving and had to weigh the investigation's future versus allowing that large amount of methamphetamine to go out into the public or wherever else, I made the decision and informed [the commander] to see if they could have the vehicle stopped."
Peterson will be sentenced March 12.
In Howell's courtroom Wednesday, a jury found Larry Douglas Parrott guilty on two counts of child molestation. He is set to be sentenced March 12.
Thursday in the judge's courtroom, it was an emotional scene as the jury returned a mixed verdict in the case of Devonte Lavon Glover.
Glover was charged with three counts of violation of street gang terrorism and prevention act, sale of methamphetamine, possession of meth and possession of marijuana less than 1 ounce. He was found guilty of sale of meth, possession of meth and possession of marijuana less than 1 ounce. The jury returned a not guilty verdict on the three counts of violation of street gang terrorism and prevention act.
He was arrested after selling an "eight ball," or 3.5 grams, of meth to a confidential informant for the DTF in January 2012.
According to testimony from a DTF agent and the confidential informant, the CI contacted the DTF about purchasing meth from Glover. During the operation, the CI, equipped with an audio recorder, and an undercover officer took $250 to a local restaurant and met Glover, the agent testified.
Once the CI and Glover met, the pair walked to a parked vehicle where Glover retrieved the meth from a baby formula container in the rear seat, according to testimony.
Glover's co-defendant, Karisa Nicole Neal, with whom he has a child, was inside the restaurant during the time of the sale, according to testimony. She was found guilty Thursday of possession of meth and possession of marijuana less than 1 ounce. Neal also will be sentenced March 12.
Glover asked Howell after the verdict was read to delay his being taken into custody so he could spend time with his small son. His request was denied and sentencing was set for March 12.
"It's OK, baby. Don't cry," Glover said to a sobbing Neal as he was taken into custody.

At the Grande Corrida de Toiros, the annual bloodless bullfights hosted by Irmandade Portuguese da Festa do Espirito Santo at the group's Campo Pequeno bullring on Ninth Street, the bull still had the advantage in one match Friday, June 8.
The forcados — men who tackle the bull bare-handed at the end of the match — lined up and braced for the attack. The charging bull lifted up the first man in the line and plowed into the other seven, scattering them like bowling pins against the ring wall.
Matthew Parreira, 24, of Turlock, the third man in line, took the brunt of the charge.
His teammates carried him out of the arena and an ambulance crew checked him out for a possible broken sternum, but he declined a ride to the hospital and stayed for the rest of the night.
Parreira said injuries are just part of the job.
"This isn't the first," he said. "It won't be the last."
A smudge on his shirt showed where the bull's nose hit his chest. The bull's horn, cropped to remove the point, delivered an uppercut to his chin.
"I've probably been knocked out I don't know how many times," Parreira said. "I've had dislocated fingers, broken fingers, broken ribs, fractured sternum, broken nose. … I've had chipped teeth, scratches, bloody noses, swollen bruises, black eyes."
The chance to be at the center of a Portuguese tradition makes it all worthwhile.
Forcados trace their role in the bullfights back to the days when men carrying poles tipped with metal crescents, called forks, protected members of nobility in the audience from bulls that escaped from the ring. In modern times, the forked poles are ceremonial, and forcados enter the ring with no weapons.
Bobby Costa, president of IPFES in Tracy, estimated that about 2,500 people went to Friday's event, the culmination of the group's weeklong Festa do Espirito Santo. Costa said bloodless bullfights have been part of the festa in Tracy since the 1940s, with the present bullring in place since 1985.
Aposento de Turlock and Amadors De Merced, the two forcado groups at Friday's bullfights, faced off against four bulls.
Two other bulls faced the cavaleiros — men on horseback — including Alberto Conde of Portugal and Jorge Hernandez of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and the matador, Fernando Labastida of San Luis Potosi.
Unlike in traditional bullfighting, the participants try not to injure the bulls. A cavaleiro leads the bull on a chase around the ring. His colorful spears are tipped with hook-and-loop fabric that sticks to a target on the bull's back.
The bulls then face a matador, who also aims fabric-pointed spears at their backs.
Before long, the bull is tired, but no less aggravated. That's when the forcados enter the ring.
Aposento de Turlock captain Tony Machado of Turlock said a bull typically weighs between 1,000 to 1,500 pounds, about the equivalent of eight strong men.
"We conquer them Portuguese style: weight versus weight and power versus power," Machado said.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JL Audio TR525-CXi by Buck Pomerantz Why replace your car's original speakers? The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. You need great speakers to turn the audio signals from your car stereo into music. The Evolution TR series speakers take advantage of JL Audio's extensive research and obsessive testing to deliver excellent performance at prices any audio enthusiast can afford. Evolution TR speakers come in a wide range of sizes so you can improve the sound in almost any vehicle. JL Audio's TR525-CXi 5-1/4" speakers use mica-filled long-excursion polypropylene woofers for enhanced mid-bass response that'll really fill out your drums and bass. The 1/2" woven textile dome tweeters broadcast all the little details that bring your music to life. Ferrofluid cooled tweeters and butyl rubber surrounds mean that these speakers will bring you great music for many years to come.

For the price you can not get a better speaker and when I bought my vehicle I purchased the high end stereo and they don't have anything on these JLs. So clear best bang for your buck! Pros: What's not to like Cons: Haven't found any yet 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 Crappy Speakers Written By sonmitch98, riverview,fl on Thursday, September 12, 2013 Its been about 6 months and one of the speakers is already blown. Pros: Sounded good Cons: crappy bass Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very nice...but a little iffy Written By AustinS, Goshen, IN on Wednesday, February 06, 2013 You can get these speakers and the sound will be crisp, you will hear every note, and you will love every second of it...as long as you don't turn up the bass. If you do get this speaker (which is a great idea don't get me wrong) please do yourself a favor and get a sub woofer. Just a simple 8-inch will do. Even if you don't want a ton of bass, just because with these, you really cant pump your radio up very much at all with any baas going to the speakers. If you buy a non-stock stereo, then it probably has a option on it that enables you to take all the base out of your speakers, and pump it straight to your sub woofer. That's what I've done and I highly recommend it. They really are great speakers, but are the best if you're only putting treble and mid into them. Pros: Great crisp sound Great treble and mid Can go very loud (when next to no bass is present) Doesn't take an extremely powerful stereo to power Heavenly sound quality Cons: Can't handle very much bass Please get a sub woofer with these 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Not too bad Written By Tim, EASTERN SHORE, MD on Thursday, November 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good speakers for the money, pretty loud Pros: nice looking, decent sound Cons: could be more efficient 2 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Pretty good quality speakers Written By Gio, Jacksonville, AR on Wednesday, April 11, 2012 I installed these bad boys in my front and rear doors in my Cadillac. Installation was fairly easy except for the pain with the cheap terminal lugs. Installation also varies from vehicle to vehicle so I won't go any further in detail. They sound great for a 5.25" speaker and it's a definite upgrade from the paper coned factory speakers. Really crisp highs and good mids. The mid frequencies aren't great but they're not terrible either. The mids range somewhere above average. The terminal lugs that come with the speakers are very cheap quality and do not hold very well to the speaker wire, so I highly recommend soldering your speaker wires to your speaker to make a much better connection. It was a little extra work but it was worth it because I intend to keep these as long I own the vehicle. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and I would definitely recommend these speakers to someone looking to upgrade to upper mid range quality and priced speaker. The higher end JL audio speakers probably sound amazing but are completely out of my price range so this series fit the bill. Pros: Excellent quality high frequencies. Cone materials in these speakers are a huge upgrade from factory paper cone speakers. Cons: Terminal connections are cheap quality and didn't hold well at all upon crimping them to the speaker wires, even when I used the right tools for the job. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speakers Written By Jared, Missoula, MT on Friday, October 14, 2011 I've got a pair of these in a 92 Civic running off a 12 year old Panasonic CD player and they sound great. Great treble and the lows are just as good. I listen to everything from old school hip hop to jazz to metal and I've yet to find a song that sounds bad. The only thing better would be to add more of these. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great speakers on a budget Written By Isaac V., Albuquerque, NM on Wednesday, January 05, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers for my girlfriend's 2008 Corrolla to replace the blown speakers on her rear deck. The item description said it would fit, but the mounting hardware I was shipped was too small for the deck. The instructions weren't exactly spot on, but I was able to make it work. Once I finally figured out a way to get them mounted, the sound quality was very good. The bass isn't fantastic (it's a small speaker, so what'd you expect?) but the audio clarity is very nice. I would order these again, but I wouldn't use them on a rear deck like this. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Longtime user, first time reviewer Written By Ricky M., Wichita, KS on Tuesday, October 05, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased these JL speakers to replace the factory speakers and even though they are a smaller size than the factory speakers, the sound is greatly improved. I imagine they will sound even better when I purchase an aftermarket head unit but for now I am satisfied and recommend these speakers to anyone wanting a inexpensive upgrade to their audio system. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 In the Charger Written By Kevin, Charlotte, NC on Monday, June 14, 2010 I couldnt hear the music in my Charger because of my subs so I decided to get some decent speakers. I purchased these JLs because of the name and they sure have lived up to it. These speakers sound great in my car and super clear. I can not only hear super crisp music, but get some bang with my subs. Would buy again for sure. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 JL Audio Coax Review Written By George, Stony Brook, NY on Monday, March 29, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was running Polk db Coaxes in my rear doors. One of them blew, and made the system sound horrible. I replaced both rear speakers with JL Audio TR525-CXi. What a difference. As a matter of fact, my rear speakers are now making my front separates (also Polk db series - separates) sound inferior. Not only do I recommend these speakers for your rear fill, I believe if you are designing a complete system right now, look hard at the JL line of speakers. JL Amps are a given, but these were really not expected to go the lengths they have. I am very pleased overall. Easy to install, handle plenty of power (Alpine 60 x4RMS), and sound clean while doing so! George 13 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Geat speakers Written By John, Ft Myers FL on Sunday, January 17, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these to replace failed factory speakers in the front door panels. The sound is what I would call extremely clean. I'm always amazed how good speakers allow listening at a higher volume and still be 'comfortable'. These were paired with Alpine 6x9's in the back and the music experience now is just wonderful in the car. Love them! 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Outstanding speakers Written By Bill, Brownsville, TX on Friday, July 31, 2009 I decided to replace my speakers on my golf cart sterio unit which mounts overhead on the underside of the roof. I read the ratings on several different speakers on this site, most had poor ratings for low end frequencies. This set of speakers had great reviews. I'm happy to report that the sound quality improvement was incredible. The housing the speakers go in is not large, but the overall sound quality is fantastic, even installed in such a small housing. It was a great purchase. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Surprise!!! Written By Rip, Eugene, OR on Thursday, April 02, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound from these small speakers is pretty amazing. They have crisp highs-with bass that does not distort. Don't get me wrong...these will not replace subs, but they do sound great. 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great sound, small package Written By 245Dad, Edmonds, WA on Sunday, February 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had to fit as much speaker as I could in a small place and these JL's did the job perfectly. Front doors of a Volvo 245. Took some tweaking to get them installed just right but finally they look great, clear the window, and clear the dash. Sound excellent. Full range with good base. Clean looking grills (no bling).

With Crutchfield providing almost everything I needed to get them in, I was amazed with the short amount of time it took me to install them. These "little ones" pack a punch and are pretty much an upgrade over the factory ones that were there. 6 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent Written By Geoff, Hershey, PA on Wednesday, December 26, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i got these speakers (whiched i paired with the JL VR650-CXi) to replace my stock 6x9 speakers in my rear deck in my '95 Toyota Camry...these speakers sound amazing...excellent highs, mids, and lows...they are soo much clearer than the stock speakers...at first i was worried that the pretty big size difference would cut down on the clarity and volume but that was not the case at all...i would recommend these speakers to anyone who wants to really step up their stereo system with quality speakers...all my friends and family members are shocked at how good they sound and they find it hard to believe that theyre just hooked up to my clarion head unit 78 out of 88 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Alarm bells are going off for labor unions around the country.
Four years after electing the most pro-labor president of the last half-decade, it looks like the scheme has backfired.
In 2008 and 2012 labor unions used everything, including a little body English, ballot stuffing and voter intimidation to elect a president who would bring the prestige of presidential backing to recruitment efforts for labor unions.
Since then not only have labor unions taken historic defeats in former union strongholds, like Wisconsin and Michigan, labor union membership is declining at a rate that will make them a...

Guys, I'd guess 99% of you guys had no idea that Heath and I have been working on a knife for a couple of months. Essentially, I designed a knife, Heath tweaked it, added his own little touches, such as random pattern damascus and a clipped tip, and then Heath built it.
The knife arrived today, and with all of the world-class knives I've been fortunate enough to own and use, this one had me checking my mailbox more often than most. I was nervous opening it up, and them I grabbed the knife, shook my head and laughed, saying to myself (and my omni-present beagle of a best bud), "Heath, you son of a *****, you nailed it!" Is the knife perfect? No, of course not. Is the handle as clean as Stefan Kellar, Mike Henry, or Pierre Rodrigue? No, not yet. But, it's nice, comfortable and is what we had drawn. It looks and feels very, very good.
I haven't had much of a chance to use it, because I have other things I need to do, believe it or not. I did, however, use it on a few items and this thing cuts like a Konosuke. I'm hoping it continues to impress me, and that the HT is on (how can I tell so early?). I have a very good feeling about this knife, and I already know, it's damned fun to use.
I have a feeling that this is similar to how Mark Farley felt when he first gave Mike Davis a shot and received those first knives.
Thanks, Heath. I have a feeling you might be onto something!

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Nikon 18.5mm f/1.8 1 Nikkor Lens by Woody Sherman One of the things every experienced photographer knows: Unless you have full control of the lighting situation, you'll want more light way more often than you'll want less of it. A lens that delivers plenty of photons to your image sensor is a good thing to have. This very bright, 50mm-equivalent "normal" focal length lens is designed to get you great results and creamy defocused backgrounds in situations where using a flash will disrupt the flow of events. The first time you see the mood and atmosphere that comes from shooting in natural, subdued light with a lens like this, you'll know you want to use it more.

A really great lens from Nikon for its Series 1 line of cameras. The kit lenses are quite good (10-30mm and 30-110mm) and probably all that one would need. But this lens is a great addition. Equivalent to a 50mm lens in std 35mm cameras, it makes a great portrait lens with its beautiful bokeh effect. Great value even at full price, but fantastic value on sale. Nikon made a real winner with this line of lenses and cameras.

Whether you work out on a regular basis, are a weekend warrior, or have just gone a little too far with home activities you know that overdoing it can lead to unhappiness. Activities that are repetitive or too intense can cause minor tears and strains which cause pain that can slow you down. If you've ever mentioned you had an achy joint, you may have heard the term tendonitis or bursitis. Is this really what you have? And more importantly, how do you get rid of it?
Birth of Bursitis and Tendonitis
Tendons and bursae help support movement at your joints. Bursa are fluid filled sacs that help your tendons glide over bony areas of your joints. Tendons are connective tissues that bind muscles to bones. When these structures become injured, they can make joint movement painful. Overuse or stress injuries can easily cause the following injuries:
- Bursitis—swelling and irritation of the bursa
Tendinopathy—problems in the tendon including
- Tendonitis—swelling and irritation of the tendon
- Tendinosis—chronic tearing of the tendon
These injuries may be caused by something as simple as housecleaning or your everyday job, to something more complex like sports. It may also be caused by an imbalance in the muscles around your joint. It may be difficult to tell if the problems is with the tendon or bursa.
The pain may not always be due to an obvious injury. It may slowly develop or intensify over time. It is important to know your body to help distinguish between normal soreness from some workouts and soreness that indicates a problem.
Listen to Your Body, Avoid the Problem
Pain is a communication tool. It is the way your brain tells you that you need to pay attention because something is wrong. If you are feeling pain, you need to assess why, especially if the pain continues or recurs often. Ignoring the pain may simply force you to be unnecessarily uncomfortable. It can also lead to long term problems.
Note what activities may be causing the pain. Find ways to change the activity to reduce stress on your joints. Some adaptations that may help include:
- Check your technique. A small correction in how you do an activity can make a big difference.
- Lower the intensity. You may have gone too hard, too fast. Lower your intensity level and gradually increase your intensity as you get stronger.
Be aware of activites that have repetitve actions.
- For tasks like shoveling or sweeping, take small breaks to give your joints a break.
- For sport activites like tennis, check your technique. Allow other types of exercise to give your body a break from the repetitive motions of one sport.
Not all injuries can be prevented. Fortunately most tendon and bursa problems can be relieved with some basic at home care.
You Have Pain, Now What?
The Basics
Bursitis and tendinopathy need time and attention to heal. Most of the time, the pain will go away with home care. Here are some tips on what you can do at home:
- Rest—avoid the activity that is causing the pain
- Ice—can help reduce swelling, so pack it on for a short time, a few times a day.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)—pain relievers like ibuprofen. If you have any medical problems, or take other medications, check with your doctor before starting this medicine.
- Keep in mind there are many choices for NSAIDs. You may take it by mouth or rub it on the skin.
- NSAIDs can irritate the stomach. It can cause bleeding in the intestine if taken for a long period of time.
- Investigate what action may have caused the pain. Look for ways to prevent it from happening again.
These steps will help relieve discomfort but may not solve the underlying problem. Talk to your doctor if the pain does not go away. Your doctor may recommend other treatment options such as joint injections and physical therapy.
In some cases, cortisone may be injected into the bursa or around tendons. This medicine may help to reduce swelling and irritation.. These injections may make the pain may go away temporarily. The cause of the bursitis or tendonitis will still need to be addressed.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy may help relieve the cause of the tendonitis or bursitis. A physical therapist may help to:
- Improve balance of muscles around a joint—imbalances can increase your risk of injury
- Strengthen muscles around the joint—to relieve pressure on the tendons and bursa
- Identify improper techniques that may be causing problem
Other treatments like ice or heat therapy, braces, or wraps may help to manage the pain while you heal.
You may never know for sure if your ache is from tendinopathy or bursitis. Rest is the most important step for either injury. Give your body the chance it needs to heal before jumping back in to action. A few days of frustration are much easier to deal with than long term pain.

Great system fast shipping. Amazing Quality By tyler on 7/24/2013 tyler would recommend this product to a friend I just received my rodi unit today, got it all set up and working in less then 10 minutes. im very impressed with the build quality and it works flawlessly. ill definitely be buying all my saltwater tank supplies from Bulk Reef Supply from now on! EXCELLENT By Mike H on 7/20/2013 Mike H would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this unit a few months ago, I am extremely satisfied with the product. It comes with literally everything you need and more to set up the unit. However, I wish I would have purchased the auto-shut off when I did order it. There are times I forget that its running and have flooded my bathroom a few times. I would highly recommend the BRS brand over any of the other crap they sell in the LFS, and for one thing, you get more from the BRS than the ones the LFS has. You cannot go wrong with this unit. The Total Package By jhmeresqu on 7/9/2013 jhmeresqu would recommend this product to a friend Finally decided to do it right this time around. I was using salt water directly from the ocean along with RO/DI water purchased at the LFS for my previous 100 gal Reef Tank. Over the long haul not price efficient ( time/ gas costs). This time I'm doing it right with my new build. This BRS system is the Bomb......well built, sturdy, comes with everything you need plus more. Also I little footnote: Customer service was great when I found out a little to late that my local city water was using Chloramine in their treatment. They helped me out with all I needed to upgrade the system without a hitch.Thanks guys. Should have bought this years ago By Greg on 7/7/2013 Greg would recommend this product to a friend I was surprised at how complete this system really was. Normally when you get something that is advertised as complete, you always have to buy something more to really make it complete. I had it mounted with in 30 minutes and the temporary faucet hookup installed and running water in less than an hour. I turned it on and let it run for maybe 30 minutes to flush the system and then turned on the TDS meter. The water on the output side read 0.00. I was amazed and glad I finally got one and the question or 2 I did have, the customer service is the best next to none! Way to go Kevin and thanks. I give this 5 starts and have already recommended it to several people. Outstanding product!!! By Brandon on 7/5/2013 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this unit after years of lugging heavy containers of water from the store to the house for water changes. This unit arrived fully assembled and ready to go! I set it up in my laundry room and it was making 0 TDS water within 5 minutes of arrival! A must have!!! I wish I had purchased it years ago!!! Excellent product By josh on 6/29/2013 josh would recommend this product to a friend This install was so easy I thought I was missing something. I had the system installed and flushing the membrane in less than 10 minutes. Making 0 TDS water like a champ ... Couldnt ask for anything more! Excellent Unit By Kha on 6/24/2013 Kha would recommend this product to a friend First, I think everyone should get a RODI Unit if you have a saltwater system but I think the guideline is 55 gallons and up is cost effective. You'll want the peace of mind that you get from the ability to make water at anytime. This unit works great and if you were looking at this vs the regular, then do yourself a favor and get this unit (the Plus+). Everyone should also grab the auto shut off kit too and while you are at it perhaps the 150gph upgrade kit. I did get all three but have not installed the shut off which resulted in a wet basement. You'll end up buying it piece by piece like me. I am trying to remember what were my concerns when selecting a RODI unit but its definitely heavy duty construction and has all the possible connectors you will need to install on a facet/ hose/ tap a water pipe (pretty much anything). It is slightly heavy but that what you get when you want something with quality construction. The only thing I hate about RODI units are that they waster water. I got the upgrade which makes water twice as fast and wastes about 40% less water than before the upgrade. I have plans to make a system for storing the waste water and using it for irrigation. High Quality, better perfomance By Sakura2282 on 6/22/2013 Sakura2282 would recommend this product to a friend Another excellent product from BRS. It comes ready to use, very solid, and works wonderfully. My TDS readings are always "0" and I'm so happy with it. I love that I can make my own water at home for my tank. It worth every penny! The best $200 you could spend in the reef hobby. By Brandon on 6/12/2013 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend Straight forward product,comes with everything you need.
