Be with Me
Drama, Romance
Produced by the gifted Marin Karmitz's MK2 Productions, Eric Khoo's omnibus film Be With Me encompasses three separate tales. All are concerned with the themes of love and fate, each centered around a character who yearns to be with another, beloved individual. In the first segment, Meant to Be, an elderly shopkeeper suffers from the pangs of loneliness until an encounter with the blind and deaf Theresa Chan (via her autobiography) changes his life; the 61-year-old Chan portrays herself in the segment and shares her story with the audience. The second, So in Love, chronicles the experiences of two teenage lesbians whose lives are about to change irrevocably. In the third, Finding Love, a middle-aged security guard (Seet Keng-Yew) divides his affections between food and an infatuation with a professional woman who works in his building. He feels too intimidated to approach the girl formally, but ultimately decides to make himself known with a letter. Be With Me co-stars Ezann Lee, Lynn Poh, Chiew Sung-Ching, and Samantha Tan.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Recipe by Thea
"This recipe was passed down from a friend, and now it is one of our favorites! It's great to make whenever there is left over chicken or turkey around! We pray for colder weather in California just so we can make this soup! You can substitute additional diced tomatoes for the tomatillos. If you would like the soup to be spicier, you can add some red chili flakes or salsa. Serve with these toppings for people to choose from: limes, cilantro, cheese, avocado, sour cream, and tortilla chips."

This is my favorite chili recipe not only because its incredibly delicious, but because its one of the healthiest entrees you can make.
I followed others' suggestions and added 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 2 diced jalapenos (some said this was a little too hot, but I thought it just about right), canned corn instead of fresh, and salsa verde instead of canned tomatillos. One thing to remember is that the quality of the Salsa Verde (or tomatillos) is very important as it is perhaps the predominant flavor. Make sure to use a good quality salsa--that is, one you really enjoy on its own. I prefer Target's "Archer Farms Salsa Verde", which is about $3 for 24oz.
I thought this chili was very bland. I will not make it again.

This was great! After reading most of the comments, I substituted a bottle of salsa verde for the tomatillos, used two cans of diced tomatoes with chilis instead of the plain tomatoes, used a fresh jalapeno instead of the canned chilis, added a little extra broth and added 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch. I put it all in the crock pot and let it cook for about 8 hours on low. Garnished the bowls with sour cream and cheddar cheese. It was fabulous!
Another Cook off winner to add to this recipe.
I doctored it a bit too: I used the jar of Salsa verde, extra green chili's, fire roasted diced tomatoes, LOTS of cumin, and some chili powder as well. I heated the spices in the oil before adding both cubed and ground chicken. I used the ground chicken for texture - more traditional chili style, and added a touch a cream. MMmmmm.
Thanks to other reviews, I was ready with the corn starch to thicken it up so it wasn't as soupy.
I would like to say I loved it - but, by time I made my way back to the table to have some, it was GONE. I don't think it lasted 15 minutes!!
I WILL cook this again, I would like to have more than just a sample spoon full...
I would give this 6 stars if I could! A few minor changes include canned corn, 2 cans of beans, salsa verde instead of tomatillos, and some thickening with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch in 1/2 c milk, all were suggestions from other reviews. I also simmered it for an hour. It is a nice change from the slow cooker taco soup that is also wonderful!
I am adding this last sentence after reading a more recent review by someone else who added lime to the chili and felt that it made it bitter....if you read the recipe again you will see that they suggest lime slices as a garnish:)
I've been making this chili for 2-3 years and EVERYONE who eats it asks for the recipe. I add more beans and chicken to make it thicker and heartier and serve bowls of the chili with grated cheese, onions, tomatoes and sour cream as toppings but without all the sour cream, it even meets weight watchers criteria. I've had trouble finding tomatillos so I have substituted using green enchilada sauce or green salsa. Still SCRUMPTIOUS! My husband has prepared this chili for camping trips. It's still perfect after having been frozen! Try it. You won't be sorry.
I was making this recipe for a friend who just had surgery. After I filled the container that I was taking her, there was enough for my husband and I to each have a bowl. My husband tasted it, looked up and said this is a keeper! I never thought I would be a fan of chicken chili, but this is fantastic. Because we're giving it away, I didn't add any of the suggested toppings, I just didn't have any in the house, but it was wonderful without any! I couldn't find tomatillos, so I added diced tomatoes it their place. That was the only thing I changed. This is going to be a new staple in our household, and the fact that it's healthy is a real plus!
Mui Bien! Of course I had to do it "my way". 1. Used 2 nice large hand trimmed chicken breasts. 2. Patted them down with Emeril's Southwestern Essence and lightly seared with onions and some bell pepper. 3. Poured in the chicken stock, two cans of Rotel Tomatoes w/ Lime & Cilantro and a large jar of La Victoria Salsa Verde and added the spices (plus a bay leaf). 4. Simmered the breast 40 minutes then pulled out and shredded. 5. Returned to pot and added beans & a large can of sweet corn. 6. Cooked the chili down several hours and added a couple of cubes of chicken broth and vegetable broth along the way with some water and cornstarch. This is a GREAT, healthy chili with an interesting flavor which we all enjoyed and I will make again. This is NOT a recipe I will share as good chili recipes are "sacred". Ha!

Preview | RecapBucs close out day two at 33rd annual Niswonger Invitational
Sunday, February 06, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 5, 2011) - The ETSU men's and women's Track and Field teams had six top three performances Saturday as the Bucs closed out the 33rd annual Niswonger Invitational inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
"Day two followed up a good first day for us," said assistant coach Eli Sunquist. "Jasmine, Emani, mike, and Jarrod continued to lead the team, and we also had solid performances from our combined event athletes and women's 4x4 relay. I was very proud of how our women approached and ran the 4x400m. Coach Morton was able to fire them up, and they ran extremely well. The sprinters have been training very hard and are surely beat up after a long weekend, but they were still able to run an aggressive relay. As a staff we are really trying to teach toughness to our kids, and we started to see a glimpse of that this weekend. After this weekend I can definitely say that we will be ready for big things in two weeks."
Senior Jasmine Ingram (Fredrick, Md.) was just edged out in the 400m by half a second by Western Carolina's Jane't Carothers after running a time of 55.44. Ingram then came back later in the day to finish third in the 200m with a time of 24.84.
Hannah Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Emma Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Ashton Bishop (Gate City, Va.) and Ingram combined to run the Bucs best 4x400m relay time of the season as ETSU placed second in the event with a time 3:51.13.
In the women's 60m dash, Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C.) came in third after she posted a time of 7.66.
On the men's side, senior Jarrod Burton (Bastian, Va.) followed up his win in the weight throw with a third place finish in the shot put after his throw of 54-6 �, while Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) was third in the men's 60m hurdles invitational as he posted a time of 8.17.
ETSU returns to action on Feb. 18 as the Bucs host the Atlantic Sun Indoor Championship inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.

Does the new CBA change the important dates? Is July 1 still the big day when teams can start courting free agents?
What summer leagues are we participating in? When do they start?
Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
The only date that changed was the date teams can start signing FA's to 22 July, negotiations still start on the 1st
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
I think the only date that changes (and just for this summer) is the date when FAs can be signed. usually it would be July 15, and this year it's pushed out to around July 22, I believe (to get CBA paperwork finalized).
"I'll always be a part of Donnie Walsh."
-Ron Artest, Denver Post, 12.28.05
That would be a rediculous summer league team.
Damn our team is going to own the summer league.That team right there could be pretty good in the regular season
With that team we shouldn't lose a game.

MA in Teaching English as a Second Language
The master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from Webster is designed for individuals who seek to develop the English skills of non-native speakers living either overseas or in the United States. The program allows you to develop a solid theoretical background in critical aspects such as culture, language structure, first and second language acquisition theory, curriculum and materials development, teaching methodology, assessment and research, while preparing you to become effective language teachers.
You can choose from two tracks of study: the Adult Education Emphasis designed to meet the needs of educators of adults, with no prior teaching experience required; or the K-12 English Language Learner (ELL) Education Emphasis, designed to meet the needs of existing content area educators interested in expanding their knowledge of teaching. The ELL emphasis requires a license to teach.
While pursuing your master's, you'll learn the English language system, its components (i.e. phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, etc) and issues of linguistic variation (i.e. dialects, discourse, slang, humor, etc.). You'll study the major theories, key concepts and research in first and second language acquisition (SLA), and explore modern and traditional teaching approaches, as well as the legal processes and policies that have influenced the English as a Second Language field. And you'll develop curriculum and materials to promote effective learning and communication.
Points of Distinction
- Webster's ESL classes use a four-skills communicative approach to learning language. Classes are interactive, lively and small to encourage more participation and to give instructors more time with each student.
- Instructors have master's degrees, most in TESL/TEFL. Many work as a teacher trainers, and have years of experience teaching English both in the U.S. and abroad.
- Many technological tools are available for language learning, including blogs, electronic classrooms, online discussion tools and video and audio equipment.
- Webster University's worldwide context allows interaction with learners from around the world through online education and/or study at one of the university's many international campuses.

Update: Sandusky city commissioner Diedre Cole sent the city a finalized version of a performance evaluation for city manager Nicole Ard that suggests Ard has failed to meet expectations across a broad spectrum of job responsibilities.
Cole said she used a formatted evaluation form incorporating the job goals established when Ard was hired, and also used the charter officer evaluation form the city has used in the past. The evaluation cites numerous issues and includes an action plan for improvement, she said. The review she submitted also includes information from notes she took during a closed-door commission meeting with Ard earlier this month, contrasting her responses to the issues raised.
Cole also said some fellow commissioners are soft-pedaling Ard's shortcomings and "dumbing down" the review process.
"Ignoring this is not a good option. The city has serious challenges and tough choices ahead. Commission cannot turn a blind eye to these problems," she said. "Answering phones and taking recreation department reservations is not what the city's CEO and top-paid employee should be doing. What's the hourly rate at $126,000 a year?"
"It's $61 an hour," Cole said, after quickly tapping a calculator to come up with the number.
The Register has requested copies of the evaluation prepared by Cole and an earlier evaluation submitted by commissioner Wes Poole, and other reviews and drafts from other commissioners for city charter officers.
Cole also told the Register her mother died on Saturday. She has been commuting back and forth from North Carolina for some time helping her family care for her mother and said the funeral will be this week.
She also said she intends to be a write-in candidate on the Nov. 5 ballot. Her mother's illness and working to get her family in North Carolina situated caused her to miss the deadline to file a candidate's petition, but can still file as a write-in candidate.
"I want to try a different approach," she said.
Original Post, Aug. 16, 5:51 a.m.
Two Sandusky city commissioners submitted performance review evaluations for city manager Nicole Ard that pinpoint what they say are areas in need of improvement.
But the majority coalition on commission has adopted a wait-and-see approach to letting the public in on the score card for Ard and appear to be ignoring the information submitted.
Commissioner Wesley Poole provided a three-page evaluation form, and commissioner Diedre Cole filed a 23-page draft evaluation. Cole said she is finishing her forms and plans to include the notes she took during the Aug. 12 closed meeting commissioners conducted with Ard for the review.
Both Poole and Cole used the job goals established by commission when Ard was hired in late 2011 for their evaluations, determining that she failed to meet some of the goals and calling for an action plan to get back on track.
A Register special report in January based on a public records review and other information determined that none of the goals had been met. Ard declined to respond to questions from the Register while the reporting was being researched before it published and has not offered any response to it since it was published. Some of the goals appear to have been accomplished since that January report, which prompted the current review process by commissioners.
Commissioner Julie Farrar said her experience will guide her through the process.
"Until the evaluation is totally complete and all parties have signed off on it, it is a work in progress," Farrar said, adding that she didn't take notes during the closed meeting with Ard.
Commissioner Jeff Smith, Farrar, ex officio mayor John Hamilton and commissioner Keith Grohe all discarded the evaluation submitted by Poole, and did not secure it as a public document. Cole's evaluation was filed with an email.
Hamilton told the Register "nobody really wanted" the forms Poole submitted. It's not clear how each commissioner's individual reviews will be incorporated into the final narrative of Ard's review to which Farrar referred, or why the commissioners refused to include Poole's viewpoint in the process.
Ard has hired an attorney to guide her through the review process with commissioners, Grohe said. She replied to a recent inquiry from the Register about that and other questions but did not answer the questions asked.
"Sandusky is a special community in which to live and work, and I look forward to continuing my work with the Commissioners and on behalf of the residents," Ard wrote in her reply.
Performance reviews by commissioners for law director Don Icsman and finance director Hank Solowiej have been completed. The Register has requested copies of these reviews, drafts and other evaluation forms, documents and public record submitted during the earlier process.
The city never followed up on the evaluation and review service that was part of the contract with the firm hired in 2011 to set the job goals and assist in the search for a new city manager. It was never explained how that contract provision was lawfully "waived" by commissioners, or why, but Smith suggested the review process currently underway is well-in-hand.
"This will be my first evaluation of the city manager. However, due to my professional history, I am not a stranger to evaluation process," Smith wrote in an email to the Register.

Hey there guys.
I am working on some parts for a boat project of mine and feel like I may be wasting my time.
Question: will all Stainless steel tube and stock polish to a mirror finish ??
I try to snatch up any 316L s/s surplus from a local supplier when ever it is in the reminents bin so the materials are unpolished and some times rough.
I have some 2 in tube (not sure if it is 316 or 304) any way there is a deep grain pattern that looks like a brushed finish, that won't sand out I have tried scotch brite pads Brown/Maroon/Blue then 150, 220, 320 sand paper. I even made a fixture to attach short legenths of tube to my bench grinder to act as a lathe for the purpose of spinning the tube. So that is one problem, the other is some 1in x .125 flat stock it has a scaley s/s mil finish and it is 316L I would really like to get all the parts to a mirror finish.
I do have a large buffer and rouge for the final polish, but could use some advise on how to get it good for the final high shine polish.

What do you think of the possible results of a combination of abrasives then black or green rouge on a sizel wheel then white rouge on a sewn cotton wheel.
I know a Marine fabricator friend of mine (he has since droped out of sight, or i would ask) Used to be a master of hand polishing with amazing results, but I'm not sure what his process was.
I use a polishing wheel and polishing rouge.
If it's just a one time gig for these parts then it maybe isn't worth going the electropolish route but if you are going to be doing any kind of production work, I would seriously look into it.Dynasty 350DX

You are going to need some hp to get to a #8 finish.
First it needs to be sanded probably at least 80 grit to start (on the mill finish). Try to sand in one direction (not a radom or DA). Then work up thru the grits. The #4 finish (brushed) should have been put downwith about 120 grit and finished with maroon scotch brite so you can probaly start about 180grit.
if you have a low power buffer you'll probably need to sand out to 1000 or 1200 grit. Changing direction to cross your sand lines each grit.
Then you'll need to start buffing with a siasal wheel with SS buffing (black usually) compound. Once all the sanding lines are gone move to a green coumpound on a stiff cotton buff. Once all those lines are gone use white compound on a softer cotton buff. Again if you can cross the buffing lines each time it will be better.
It can be really tuff without the hp for buffing. My buffing lathes are 7 and 10 hp motors so a 1/3 hp bench grinder isn't going to cut it.
Or PM me and you can just send the parts to me and I'll polish them.

thanks for the replies Etonline and all.
To be a little more specific the the tube that has a brushed finish I have made a fixture and and coupled to the spindle on the bench grinder to turn the tube then using and air powered die grinder with different scotch pads to sand out, then with hand held paper tried to further sand out.
My problem is even with scotchbrites and paper as fine as 320g it still looks brush finished no real improvemnt. "But" I took a piece of polished stock I had hit it with the blue scotch brite on the die grinder then a grey scotch hand pad it ofcourse lost some shine, but and it looked like it was ready for the buffer and some rouge.
Etonline I do have a Baldor ext. spindle pedastal mount buffer (3)hp I think, what kind of finish or to what grit would you recommend I sand to, I"m not sure to what level the buffer will remove scraches

In my experience, there is no easy way to polish stainless steel by hand.
You must first eliminate any grains/scratches, then painstakingly progress through the paces until you reached the desired polish. If you start to skip steps, you are most likely fooling yourself. The scratches will soon magically resurface. You'll see.
If faced with anything more than a small piece, I generally consider it false economy to attempt to polish the material by hand, rather than paying up front for #8 material. It all depends on the combination of your money and time. What you save in surplus pricing leads you to a polishing eternity.
Good luck.

Just look at "The Bean" in Chicago. I can't remeber how many months it took to polish it. Does anyone rember?

Help to "Book the Bears" this weekend at men's soccer
Wednesday, September 29, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 29, 2010) - The ETSU department of Intercollegiate Athletics and the men's soccer team are teaming up with Reach out and Read and ETSU Pediatrics to "Book the Bears" this Saturday at 7 p.m. at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
Fans who donate a new or gently use children's book will receive admission for only a Buc ($1) to the ETSU men's soccer game against Mercer. The effort is in collaboration with the Reach out and Read program.
The Reach out and Read program was started in 1989 in Boston, Mass. and has spread to medical centers throughout the country. The program involves medical professionals who speak with parents about the importance of reading aloud. At regular checkups from 6 months through 5 years of age each child in the program will receive a new book to take home.
Reach out and Read is a part of the National School Readiness Initiative which looks to minimize or eliminate physical, social, emotional and cognitive limitations through early attention to child and family needs.

November 27, 2012
I started drawing more throughout college when I realized I couldn't pay attention during lectures. The combination of the professor and the pen & paper led me to doodle some pretty eclectic "class notes." I started to document things like trips, lectures, occasions, etc. through these doodle collages, and made sure that each one stemmed from my favorite beverage–coffee.
I started to get requests from friends (thanks @ndokuley and @jacobelong) to draw collages of meaningful trips and cities to them. These collages play to my natural style of drawing. The same style I employed all those class hours in college. A very natural, comic-y, and doodled style. If I messed up, I just turned my mistake into part of the drawing. It's a very natural and enjoyable process.
Over time, I've tried to morph and evolve my drawing style, and it's not always easy for me. I'm constantly challenged and inspired by letterers like Jon Contino, Simon Alander, and Drew Melton. Designers like Brian W. Jones. Illustrators-in-training like my sister. All people I've come to learn about through the coffee industry (with the exception of my sister. I've known her).
I recently finished up another project for someone out in LA. They wanted a unique Christmas gift for the TV-Producer friend, so they sent me a list of things their friend "liked" and I got to work.
It had been a long time since I did a drawing like this, but it reminded me of the reasons I like to draw. A very fun, whatever-comes-to-mind process that allows me to express myself on paper.
Hope you enjoy. Here is one of my firsts…

President Obama, defending his domestic spying program today, said that Congress knows all about it.
"Obama said Congress had been fully briefed on the various secret programs, and suggested that lawmakers who disapproved of those initiatives or to 'abuses' could have objected," says this Yahoo News account.
Oh, really? A dramatic example has emerged of the administration's idea of "fully briefing" Congress: An Obama administration official who denied in testimony before Congress that the National Security Agency collects data from millions of Americans.
Here was the exchange between Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and the president's director of national intelligence, James Clapper:
Wyden: So what I wanted to see is if you could give me a yes or no answer to the question: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?
Clapper: No, sir.
Wyden: It does not.
Clapper: Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly.
This was not exactly the truth.

Sprint has gotten free electricity for nine years for cell towers perched within a flagpole on city property because Gaithersburg failed to bill the company.
The two cell towers accrued $65,000 worth of electricity costs over nearly a decade since being installed on top of a structured parking lot in Olde Towne Gaithersburg.
Three cell phone towers of four in the city are located on top of the structured parking lot at 112 Olde Towne Ave. Phone service provider Sprint, which operates two of the towers on the parking garage, entered into a deal with the city of Gaithersburg to pay the towers' electric bill.
The city had been paying the master bill for the garage, without billing Sprint separately, for nine years. Sprint has now paid the $65,781 bill, according to Olde Towne Coordinator Cindy Hines. Sprint declined to comment on specific details of its contract with the city.
Sprint made the deal with the city instead of PEPCO because the cell towers' electric bill was part of a master bill that included the entire parking garage, City Comptroller Tina Smith said.
Smith first noticed the discrepancy earlier this year. City Manager Tony Tomasello notified the public at a mayor and city council meeting Feb. 4 that the city comptroller had made arrangements for repayment.
Hines said Sprint is now being billed monthly.
The two cell towers operated by Sprint are located within a flagpole on top of the parking garage. The third tower on the parking garage is operated by Cricket. Hines said there are no outstanding billing issues with Cricket. The city's fourth cell tower is located at Kelley Park, operated by T-Mobile and billed by PEPCO.

Use a tone they can hear. Be mindful of your tone when meeting with parents, teachers or school administrators. Some allergy parents feel anxious and uncomfortable in such meetings; others feel fired up and want to go in with guns blazing. Do your best to have an even tone and expect the best from others.
Show them we're on the same page. Sometimes teachers or administrators resist learning to administer an epinephrine auto-injector, or they don't see the need to restrict certain foods from the classroom. What can help is sharing the fact that there are teachers whose lives are changed when a child dies in their classroom. Let parents, teachers and administrators see that our lives are not the only ones that will be affected if a careless mistake costs a life.
Ask for what you need – but not more. It can be terrifying to send an allergic child to school. However, as parents, our goal is to ensure a reasonably safe environment – not to eliminate all risk. Think of this way: When you teach your child to ride a bike, you give him a helmet and training wheels. Gradually, you lift up the training wheels until you remove them altogether. There may be a few skinned knees – just like there may be a few hives at school. But the price of trying to remove all risk is too high for any child. All kids deserve a full and vibrant life.
We are all ambassadors, hoping to enlighten and educate others about our cause: living with food allergies. There will be hiccups along the way, but if we stoop to name-calling, exaggerating or taking an adversarial stance, then we're not much better than those picketing parents.
Let's model healthy problem solving for our children by showing them how to collaborate and communicate. Remember, they're watching us every step of the way.
Gina Clowes is a certified life coach specializing in the needs of parents of children with food allergies. She is the founder and director of AllergyMoms.com, an online support group serving thousands worldwide.

Recipe by MRSPARKERII
"This recipe gets its name from a story that I read to my son about a princess whose only wish is to find a prince that can make a cookie that is as tiny and delicate as she is. This is a delicious little lemon cookie that will not disappoint! They can either be drizzled with a lemon glaze made of confectioners sugar and fresh lemon juice, or rolled in sugar before baking for a more subtle lemon flavor."

3 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon

1/2 teaspoon

butter, softened
1 1/2 cups

1/4 cup
lemon juice
lemon, zested
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
I am the recipe submitter- for those of you that have been curious about the story that I'm referring to, it is out of an old Sesame Street alphabet book that was mine when I was a child. The recipe was my own creation, but the story was the inspiration. :). Hope this helps.
Definitely light, fluffy and delicious - but I was hoping for a stronger lemony taste. I can barely taste it after baking.
191 Ratings
Light and lemony! A delicate, sweet little cookie that's perfect for any little princess to enjoy at tea parties along with her "imaginary" friends. These are so easy to make and while they aren't crisp but are more spongy and cake-like cookies they are none the less delicious. I did a lemon glaze on some, rolled a few in turbinado sugar before baking, and dusted others with powdered sugar just to change it up a bit. Overall, very good little cookies.
Knowing my preference for a crisp cookie i left out 1 egg. I got a crisp thin cookie with a great lemon flavor. Thanks.
Really tasty! A little spongy and soft for my intent (shipping half way across the globe) but darn tasty for home. I made a simple syrup of Lemon Juice and white sugar, dipped a fork in it, and pressed each dough ball down with the dipped fork, and it made a nice little crunchy pattern on top. I then drizzled the syrup on the cookies fresh out of the oven. YUMMY!
These are fantastic lemon cookies! I followed the recipe exactly. I was a little nervous after reading the reviews that I would end up with spongey or cakey cookies, but they were perfect...light and slightly chewy. I definitely recommend drizzling the cookies with the glaze that the recipe poster suggests in the first review.
I didn't have any lemon to zest on hand, so I substituted with a tbsp of lemon peel and about 1/2 tsp of lemon extract. I don't know how it compares to the original recipe, but it was really super. Great, soft, spongy cookies - fit for a princess, indeed!
This was the perfect cookie choice for a tea party. Light lemon flavor with just enough princess-approved sparkle (when rolled in sugar prior to baking). Thank you, MRSPARKERII, for a fun fairy tale-filled afternoon.

Vigo County—This morning at 00:24, Indiana State Police Troopers Ted Robertson and David Petrowski attempted to stop a red and silver 1981 Ford F150 pickup for disregarding a stop sign at Vigo Drive and Carlisle Street in southern Vigo County. The suspect truck traveled through a local convenience mart as the troopers activated their emergency lights and siren. The pickup failed to stop and turned south on US 41 still refusing to stop for the emergency lights and siren. The pickup turned east onto Woodsmall Drive where it continued east through Vigo County and into Clay County with the suspect vehicle periodically "blacking out" the vehicle lights. Troopers lost sight of the vehicle near Clay County roads 100 South and 200 West. The entire pursuit lasted sixteen minutes with maximum speed of approximately 80 miles-per-hour.
A short time later, Clay County Sheriff's deputies located the suspect vehicle abandoned in afarm field near CR 200W and SR 46. Minutes later, a nearby farmer reported his 1993 Ford F150 pickup truck stolen from his residence. During the mid-morning hours today, the farmer's stolen pickup was found near the suspect's home at Washington Street and South 11th. Locating the stolen truck ultimately led Terre Haute Police, Clay County Sheriff's deputies, and Indiana State Police troopers and detectives to the suspect's home.
Then just before 11:00 a.m., the suspect was found at his residence and refused to comply with demands by officers to surrender. After nearly one and one-half hours negotiating with members of the THPD Negotiators Unit, the suspect surrendered without incident to members of the THPD SWAT unit. The male suspect was then put in custody of troopers and transported to the Vigo County Jail.
Arrested: Tyler Wayne Fagin, age 36, of 1329 South 11th Street, Terre Haute, IN.
Charges: Resisting Law Enforcement, D felony
Receiving Stolen Auto Parts, D felony
Reckless Driving, B misdemeanor
Additional charges may be pending in Clay County.
Charges were filed by ISP Trooper Ted Robertson. Agencies participating in the event were Indiana State Police troopers, Indiana State Police detectives, Terre Haute Police Officers, Terre Haute PD SWAT members, Terre Haute PD Negotiators, Clay County Sheriff's Office, Vigo County Sheriff's Office, and the Vigo County Prosecutor's Office.

11. If you are playing in a tournament and someone on your card also has a tag then the challenge is automatic. If you have accepted a challenge from another player you must settle your "on card" challenge first. Example: You are holding number 10 and the person with number 15 challenges you but you are not playing together. There is a person with the number 7 in your group and you beat them, you become 7 and them 10. Now if number 15 beats you they get 7 and you go back to 15. Make sense??
Redan Randy wrote:May i suggest a change in the wording for rule #7?
It should read, For tourneys(unless you are supposed to playoff) or if the round can't be completed because of light or time restraints, etc. I think the rule was put in place when a bunch of tags are thrown in during tourneys and players CAN'T playoff except the tied leaders. When i play casual tag golf, the round doesn't end in a tie. Here is an example why this rule should be re-worded. Say Keith has tag#1 and Woody has tag#2 and they end up tied at the end of the Redan Open Super Tour National World Championships, or the ROSTNWC. The rules of the ROSTNWC state that they must playoff to determine the winner. Of course, Woody wins on the first hole! But according to rule #7, Keith retains the #1 tag. Now that is just ridiculous!! It is just as lame when playing casual golf and the guy with the lower tag # lays up on 18 to preserve the tie!! I say, if you want ties, go to Eurpoe and play Futbol!!

HEAD racquet rebel Novak Djokovic continues his total domination of the 2011 season as the world No. 1 overcame Rafael Nadal 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3), 6-1 to win his first US Open title, his fourth career Grand Slam title.
"It really seems unreal, it's an incredible feeling", said Djokovic after the match. "This amazing year just keeps getting better. Every time I play Rafa it's a big challenge. I hope we have many more tough matches in the future."
Djokovic secured the title in what turned out to be an epic battle lasting four hours and 10 minutes, with the top seed taking treatment on his left lower back which he injured late in the third set. But the physical niggle only seemed to spur on the HEAD star as he finished with an inside-out forehand winner on first match point and fell to his knees in disbelief and joy. Djokovic broke Nadal's serve a record 11 times, the most ever for the Spaniard in 163 Grand Slam matches.
"This is one of the four biggest events in our sport", Djokovic commented. "It's a pleasure to be one of the few players who has lifted this trophy. I couldn't do it without the team I love and respect so much."

Sets the freestyle standard.
The Rome 390 Snowboard Binding sets the standard in tweak-where-you-want-it, power-where-you-need-it performance, tearing apart everything from park runs to pow laps. The binding's V-Rod baseplate is a rockered, minimal contact baseplate (2.77% baseplate contact for you tech gurus) that maximizes the true flex of your board. Plus, this binding is hooked up with an UnderWrap.2 Heel Hoop with Channel Adjust, which is a fancy way of saying that the heel hoop can be adjusted to your boot size. This cored-out aluminum heel hoop extends underneath the binding's chassis, providing exceptional heel-to-toe response for charging kickers, slashing freshies, and laying aggressive carves.
Armed with a 390 Asym highback, the 390 offers plenty of lateral flex for tweaking grabs and jibbing without sacrificing heel-to-toe power when you're carving. Its Contour ankle strap is super cushy, wrapping around your ankle without unwanted hotspots or pressure points. This ankle strap comes with an innovative Autostrap feature that keeps the strap out of the way when you're strapping in. Additionally, you'll find its OpenForm Toe Strap grips phenomenally over your toe for a dialed fit without slop.

I would like to be able to move features by small (preferably predefined) increments using the keyboard arrow keys? Can this be done?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is no way of doing it with the arrow keys.
But you can do precise movement by specifying a delta offset as Mintx suggests. The one problem with the delta movement is that it leaves your feature's origin un changed and that might be undesireable.
However, a left-of-field quick-and-dirty solution that would not require any programming could be to create a fine mesh over your data (you can get ESRI to do it with 'Create Fishnet' or Hawth's Tools) and then use snapping. Obviously this is VERY 'Heath Robinson' and would be unworkable for huge areas but could be serviceable.

Fairfax County School Board members have delayed a vote on proposed school construction funding until the May 9 board meeting to take a deeper look at utilizing the bond referendum.
"The attempt was to get a little bit of help for Falls Church High School without making any negative impact on any project that's already in the [school renovations] queue," said School Board member Sandy Evans (Mason District), who proposed the vote delay during a board business meeting last week. "I would like to remind everybody that this is our last legacy school that hasn't had any bond money for anything… We've started four of our five legacy schools on that road, but Falls Church still isn't on here.
"Legacy schools" is a term used for Fairfax County's public high schools that were constructed in the 1960s and have never received complete renovations. Legacy schools include Langley, West Springfield, Herndon, Oakton and Falls Church high schools.
"Langley will be under construction in the spring of 2014. West Springfield is in planning and will be under construction in 2016," said Kevin Sneed, director of the school system's Design and Construction Services office. "Both Herndon and Oakton have planning funding on the upcoming bond and will be under construction in 2017 and 2018, respectively. Falls Church will follow shortly after Oakton. In less than 10 years we will have completed the full renovation of the legacy high schools."
Evans said delaying a vote on the bond referendum could allow the School Board to consider making Falls Church renovation plans a priority.
"What the proposal would do is to take anything that was unexpected savings from lower bids and try to put that into some planning money for Falls Church High School that will hopefully get them ready for whenever their turn would come," she said.
Fellow School Board member Patty Reed (Providence District) agreed saying, "We've been very concerned about Falls Church High School for a very long time... A precedent has been set for using savings when Mr. [now-retired Chief Operating Officer Dean] Tistadt used it to fund some needed restroom repairs in several schools."
Delaying the vote on the bond referendum received narrow approval by the School Board in a 6-5 vote with one member, Ryan McElveen (At-large), abstaining from voting. Contention on the vote arose because some School Board members said funding for Falls Church High School renovation planning could be discussed if and when there were savings under the bond.
"The motion tonight is really to simply seek the authority to sell bonds, and that's it," School Board member Jane Strauss (Dranesville District) said.
Sully District School Board member Kathy Smith said, "[Delaying the vote] doesn't help this process. By pushing this off, it's just pushing workload into the future that we could deal with tonight."
While the School Board votes on a bond referendum, this vote serves not as approval of bond funding but rather a formal request to the Board of Supervisors to include a bond referendum on the General Election ballot in November. Ultimate approval of bond referenda is a voter choice.
Under the last voter-approved school bond referendum in November 2011, the school system request totaled $252.7 million. The bond was passed with 70 percent of the vote. This coming Election Day, Nov. 5, the School Board hopes voters will see on their ballots and approve a $359.1 million bond referendum.
The funding request includes money for two new elementary schools, one in the Route 1 corridor and another in eastern Fairfax; renovations to 17 elementary and two middle schools; and capacity enhancements at South Lakes High School and a Tysons Corner area elementary school, likely Westbriar. The bond also includes money to acquire land for a future high school in the southwestern part of the county.
School Board members approving the delay included Evans, Reed, Elizabeth Schultz (Springfield District), Megan McLaughlin (Braddock District), Dan Storck (Mount Vernon District) and Patricia Hynes (Hunter Mill District).
"There's a value in having this discussion," Schultz said. "We could end up doing better work if we postpone this until May 9."

Interpretive Handbook
28380 :
Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), with Minerals, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is produced and secreted by the parathyroid glands, which are located along the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland. The hormone is synthesized as a 115-amino acid precursor (pre-pro-PTH), cleaved to pro-PTH and then to the 84-amino acid molecule, PTH (numbering, by universal convention, starting at the amino-terminus). The precursor forms generally remain within the parathyroid cells.
Secreted PTH undergoes cleavage and metabolism to form carboxyl-terminal fragments (PTH-C), amino-terminal fragments (PTH-N), and mid-molecule fragments (PTH-M). Only those portions of the molecule that carry the amino terminus (ie, the whole molecule and PTH-N) are biologically active. The active forms have half-lives of approximately 5 minutes. The inactive PTH-C fragments, with half-lives of 24 to 36 hours, make up >90% of the total circulating PTH and are primarily cleared by the kidneys. In patients with renal failure, PTH-C fragments can accumulate to high levels. PTH 1-84 is also elevated in these patients, with mild elevations being considered a beneficial compensatory response to end organ PTH resistance, which is observed in renal failure.
The serum calcium level regulates PTH secretion via negative feedback through the parathyroid calcium sensing receptor (CASR). Decreased calcium levels stimulate PTH release. Secreted PTH interacts with its specific type II G-protein receptor, causing rapid increases in renal tubular reabsorption of calcium and decreased phosphorus reabsorption. It also participates in long-term calciostatic functions by enhancing mobilization of calcium from bone and increasing renal synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D, which, in turn, increases intestinal calcium absorption. In rare inherited syndromes of parathyroid hormone resistance or unresponsiveness and in renal failure, PTH release may not increase serum calcium levels.
Hyperparathyroidism causes hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, hypercalcuria, and hyperphosphaturia. Long-term consequences are dehydration, renal stones, hypertension, gastrointestinal disturbances, osteoporosis, and sometimes neuropsychiatric and neuromuscular problems. Hyperparathyroidism is most commonly primary and caused by parathyroid adenomas. It can also be secondary in response to hypocalcemia or hyperphosphatemia. This is most commonly observed in renal failure. Long-standing secondary hyperparathyroidism can result in tertiary hyperparathyroidism, which represents the secondary development of autonomous parathyroid hypersecretion. Rare cases of mild, benign hyperparathyroidism can be caused by inactivating CASR mutations.
Hypoparathyroidism is most commonly secondary to thyroid surgery, but can also occur on an autoimmune basis, or due to activating CASR mutations. The symptoms of hypoparathyroidism are primarily those of hypocalcemia, with weakness, tetany, and possible optic nerve atrophy.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia
Diagnosis of primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism
Diagnosis of hypoparathyroidism
Monitoring endstage renal failure patients for possible renal osteodystrophy
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
About 90% of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. The remaining patients have normal (inappropriate for the elevated calcium level) PTH levels. About 40% of the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have serum phosphorus levels <2.5 mg/dL and about 80% have serum phosphorus <3.0 mg/dL.
An (appropriately) low PTH level and high phosphorus level in a hypercalcemic patient suggests that the hypercalcemia is not caused by PTH or PTH-like substances.
An (appropriately) low PTH level with a low phosphorus level in a hypercalcemic patient suggests the diagnosis of paraneoplastic hypercalcemia caused by parathyroid related peptide (PTHRP). PTHRP shares N-terminal homology with PTH and can transactivate the PTH receptor. It can be produced by many different tumor types.
A low or normal PTH in a patient with hypocalcemia suggests hypoparathyroidism, provided the serum magnesium level is normal. Low magnesium levels inhibit PTH release and action and can mimic hypoparathyroidism.
Low serum calcium and high PTH levels in a patient with normal renal function suggest resistance to PTH action (pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, 1b, 1c, or 2) or, very rarely, bio-ineffective PTH.
A limited number of the PTH-C fragments, which accumulate in renal failure, chiefly PTH 7-84, cross-react in this and other intact PTH assays. PTH 1-84 is also elevated in renal failure, with mild elevations being considered beneficial. Consequently, when measured with an intact PTH assay, concentrations of 1.5 to 3 times the upper limit of the healthy reference range appear to represent the optimal range for end-stage renal failure patients. Lower concentrations may be associated with adynamic renal bone disease, while higher levels suggest possible secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, which can result in high-turnover renal osteodystrophy.
Some patients with moderate hypercalcemia and equivocal phosphate levels, who have either mild elevations in PTH or (inappropriately) normal PTH levels, may be suffering from familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, which is due to inactivating CASR mutations. The molar renal calcium to creatinine clearance is typically <0.01 in these individuals. The condition can be confirmed by CASR gene mutation screening (CSRSP / Calcium Sensing Receptor [CASR] Gene, Full Gene Analysis).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) values should be interpreted in conjunction with serum calcium and phosphorus levels, and the overall clinical presentation and history of the patient.
Do not interpret an elevated PTH value with a normal serum calcium as necessarily indicative of primary hyperparathyroidism. It is possible that the elevation in PTH is due to secondary causes, the most likely being vitamin D deficiency.
Normal reference ranges may vary based on geographical locations of the populations studied.
The PTH-C fragment 7-84, which accumulates in renal failure, shows substantial cross-reactivity in this assay. Healthy population reference ranges, therefore, do not apply in renal failure.
As with all tests containing monoclonal mouse antibodies, erroneous findings may be obtained from specimens taken from patients who have been treated with monoclonal mouse antibodies or who have received them for diagnostic purposes.
In rare cases, interference due to extremely high titers of antibodies to ruthenium or streptavidin can occur.
In patients receiving high-dose (>5 mg/day) biotin therapy, the specimen should be collected at least 8 hours after the last biotin administration.
Gadolinium from magnetic resonance imaging contrast media may decrease calcium results significantly. Consider testing specimen by spectroscopic (ICP or AA) methodologies for calcium if applicable.
N-acetylcysteine when administered at levels sufficient to act as an antidote for the treatment of acetaminophen overdose may lead to falsely decreased creatinine results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Speaker placement for home theater
5.1, 7.1 and other surround sound setups
Julie Govan is the Brand Manager at Crutchfield, and has been writing about consumer electronics since 1999. Her areas of expertise include home theater, surround sound, digital cameras, and HDTV. In her spare time, she also writes book reviews and fiction. She earned a B.A. in English from Davidson College, and went on to receive a master's degree in English literature from the University of Virginia.
More from Julie Govan
The guidelines below can help you get great surround sound, even in rooms with less-than-ideal layouts.
Try not to get too hung up on finding the exact right spot for each speaker. Keep in mind that most newer receivers come with automatic speaker calibration, which makes it easy to compensate for imperfect speaker placement. Watch our short video to see how this works.
Check out our video about speaker placement to get a sense of the basics.You can learn more about what each speaker does in a surround sound system in our introduction to home theater speakers.
Center channel speaker
Place your center speaker directly above or below your TV and line it up with the midpoint of your TV screen. If your center speaker is placed much lower or higher than the tweeters in your left and right speakers, tilt it up or down to point the sound toward your listening position.
Front left and right speakers
Ideally, your front speakers will form a slight arc with your center channel speaker and point toward the center of your main seating area. To form the perfect arc, use a measuring tape to make sure your front and center channel speakers are exactly the same distance from your listening position. If your interior decorator insists that the front speakers sit flush against the wall, don't worry. You can compensate for the lack of a perfect arc when you calibrate the system.
Position your front speakers at equidistant points to the left and right of your primary listening spot. The front speakers' tweeters should be at ear level when you're seated.
Surround speakers
Your surround speakers are meant to envelop you in a cloud of atmospheric sound and special effects, so you feel like you're actually in the middle of the action unfolding on your TV.
In a 5.1-channel system, surround speakers are best placed to the left and right of your listening position — either in line with it, or just behind it. If side placement isn't practical in your room, place your surround speakers behind your listening position, facing front. Either way, place the speakers high enough so that the drivers don't fire directly at your ears, around ear level while standing.
Wall mounting is often a great option for surround speakers. You'll need to mount the speakers to a stud, or use wall anchors.
5.1-channel setup with the surround speakers wall-mounted to the sides of, or slightly behind, the listening position.
7.1-channel setup with the surrounds wall-mounted to the sides of the listening position, and two back surrounds wall-mounted behind the listening position.
In a 7.1-channel system you can place surround speakers beside and behind your seating area. With some receivers, you can use the two additional channels up front instead, for "height" or "width" channels that give you a bigger front soundstage. If your receiver has even more channels available, you can expand to a 9.1- or an 11.1-channel surround system.
Get room-friendly tips for running cable to your surrounds in our article on connecting home theater speakers.
Dolby Atmos® speakers
Dolby Atmos was designed to create a layer of sound above the listener. This overhead sound extends the height of your system's soundstage while also allowing for some very cool effects, such as the sound of helicopter blades slicing through the air directly above your head, or the rustle of leaves high up in the jungle canopy. A Dolby Atmos home theater starts with a conventional 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound speaker setup. Then, you add two or more speakers to project sound from above the listening position. There are two ways to achieve this.
In-ceiling speakers
This approach is a great option when you're designing a new home theater or want the best possible listening experience. Use four in-ceiling speakers, if you can, for maximum effect. Dolby recommends locating one pair in front of your listening position and a second pair behind it. They also suggest using in-ceiling speakers with a wide dispersion pattern, or speakers with aimable drivers that can be angled slightly toward your listening position.
If your system can only accommodate one pair of in-ceiling speakers, mount them slightly in front of where you'll be listening.
Don't worry if your speaker placement isn't perfect, your Atmos-enabled receiver's auto calibration system will help dial in the sound to get it right.
Dolby Atmos enabled speakers
Dolby Atmos enabled speakers provide an easy way to add Dolby Atmos to a home theater. These specially designed models use upward-firing drivers that reflect sound off of your ceiling to provide overhead sound effects. You can also combine Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers with ceiling-mounted speakers. This can be useful if, for instance, you have two speakers already installed in your ceiling but want to add two more speakers that can produce overhead sound.
Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, they can rest on stands, take the form of modules that sit on top of your front and rear speakers, or are integrated into a single cabinet with front-firing speakers. In any case, they are made to go in the same locations as your front and rear home theater speakers (ideally the back surround speakers, if you have them), or within three feet of those speakers.
Just like their in-ceiling counterparts, it is recommended to use two pair if possible. If the only option is one pair, they should be placed or integrated with your main left and right speakers in the front of the room nearest your TV screen.
Dolby designed the technology for rooms with ceiling heights of 8 to 9 feet, but testing indicates that you can still enjoy Dolby Atmos sound in rooms with ceilings as high as 14 feet. Atmos-enabled speakers are also recommended instead of in-ceiling speakers for rooms with ceilings lower than 8 feet.
For more specifics on where to place in-ceiling or Dolby Atmos enabled speakers, check out Dolby's speaker setup guide.
Dipole and bipole speakers
Some manufacturers offer dipole/bipole surround speakers, which are equipped with a switch for selecting between different modes of operation. These surround speakers are great for movies, because they produce a diffuse sound that doesn't call too much attention to itself. [Shop dipole/bipole speakers.]
Dipole mode creates a diffuse, ambient soundfield when the speakers are placed on the side walls.
Bipole mode fills your room with surround sound when the speakers are placed on the rear wall.
Since low bass frequencies are omnidirectional, you can usually place your subwoofer just about anywhere in your home theater room with good results.
Most people place their subwoofer in the front of the room, so that it's easier to connect to their home theater receiver. Placing your subwoofer near a wall will generally result in more bass, and placement near a corner — where three room boundaries come together — will get you even more. Keep in mind that even though the bass increases as you place the sub near a wall or corner, the quality of bass may be slightly "boomier" and less controlled. Aim for a spot where you get a compromise between quality and quantity of bass.
If you're not quite getting the bass you'd hoped for, see if your subwoofer has a 2-position switch called a phase control. Choose the setting that produces the most bass while all your speakers are playing. After you've got your sub where you want it, check out our article on tuning your subwoofer for more tips on how to get great bass.
One cool technique for placing your subwoofer is to put your sub in your listening spot, play some music, move around the room, and listen. You'll probably notice that the bass sounds a little bit different as you move around from location to location within the room — where it sounds the best may be where you want to put your subwoofer.
Tips for odd-shaped rooms
Of course, not everyone's going to have a room that easily accommodates a surround sound system. Ideal speaker locations may be taken up by doors, windows, or furniture. And some floor plans are notoriously tricky.
L-shaped room
L-shaped rooms are tough because much of the sound is pulled into the empty space outside your listening area. It's not doing anyone any good there, so this placement is designed to direct the sound away from that vacant space as much as possible.
- Start by putting your TV where the two axes of the "L" meet, instead of at one end of the "L."
- Arrange the front and center speakers around your TV as described in "The basics." Try angling the left and right speakers slightly toward your listening position.
- Place your surround speakers to the sides of where you're seated, or in the corners if there's not a good spot on both sides.
- Place your subwoofer along the wall about halfway between your TV and your seating. For better sound, make sure it's not touching the wall, but sitting four to six inches away from it.
The challenge with L-shaped rooms is to keep sound from being pulled into empty space outside your listening area. Careful placement of your couch can really help.
TV in a corner
Sometimes, the combination of windows, doors, built-in bookshelves, and fireplace leaves you without any place for your TV except a corner. It might seem hard to get good home theater sound with this setup, but all is not lost.
- Set up your front soundstage in the usual way.
- Mount one surround on the rear wall and one on the side wall.
- Place the subwoofer in the corner a few inches from the wall.
Sometimes, it's hard to put your TV anywhere but in a corner. Fortunately, you can still get your speakers oriented so as to make the sound match up with the picture on screen in a way that sounds natural.
Open floor plans
As with a room where your TV is placed in a corner, the biggest challenge you'll face with an open floor plan is where to put your surround speakers.
- Set up your front soundstage in the usual way.
- Consider using ceiling mount speakers for your surrounds. Look at models with angled baffles or pivoting drivers. These will let you aim the sound in the direction that yields the best surround effects.
- Again, the sub can be placed in the corner, but experiment to see what sounds best in your room.
More and more houses are designed with an open floor plan. This layout can give you great sound even when there aren't clear distinctions between the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
Tips for In-wall and In-ceiling Speakers
In-wall and in-ceiling speakers can be a great way to save space, but you won't be able to follow all the same placement guidelines. Check out the illustrations below to get an idea of where to install these speakers. For more details, check out our articles on in-wall and in-ceiling speaker placement and installing in-wall and in-ceiing speakers.
In-wall or in-ceiling speakers can give you the excitement of surround sound, without the bulk of conventional speakers.
