Oy vey! Der Star spengld bener!
Those who are interested in the controversy surrounding Nuestro Himno, the recently released Spanish language version of the National Anthem might take a look at this 1943 translation of the Star Spangled Banner into Yiddish by Dr. Abraham Asen, described as "the foremost Yiddish adapter of English poetry," and proudly presented in commemoration of the one hundred anniversary of the death of Francis Scott Key: Is this a patriotic act of affirmation of all that is great about America or just a shonda fur di goyim? We report, you decide!
Is this a patriotic act of affirmation of all that is great about America or just a shonda fur di goyim? We report, you decide!
Maybe Oprah should feature Gregory Jay's American Literature and the Culture Wars and Werner Sollors's Multilingual America on her book club so we can actually get some informed opinion on the question you raise?
Personally, I do not think the translation is a problem for American society. I think that those who support the assimilation of immigrants are focusing too exclusively on language and not enough on values. As far as assimilation goes, English has mostly instrumental value: it facilitates the acquisition of important American values and civic education that have intrinsic societal value. The primary goal in assimilation should be acquiring those values; the means to that end should be largely secondary.
That is not to say that English acquisition isn't important, because it is, particularly for the individual immigrants, who can find their employment opportunities limited by their linguistic ability. I think that fact is enough to motivate English-language acquisition. The problem is that ESL opportunities in this country are severely limited. For example, although states may offer ESL training as part of their social welfare programs, many (if not most) preclude the use of welfare funds for ESL training. Others who do offer ESL classes nonetheless do not give them job training credit like they do high-school equivalency or technical training classes. Misguided decisions like these (largely driven by short-term fiscal concerns) impede English-language acquisition and gainful employment while risking the creation of an economic underclass held in place by their inadequate language skills.
Those who are truly concerned about the preservation of English as the unofficial-official language of the United States need to realize that expressing moral outrage over the prevalence of Spanish is ignoring the real problem that they are helping to facilitate: it's too difficult to learn English as a second language in this country. We need a new dedication of resources that provides ESL opportunities, particularly in the job training context. Mere rhetoric is not going to make this problem go away; we need to put our money where our mouths are.
I blogged about this here.
In my opinion, the only legitimate reason for anyone to be concerned about a Spanish language version of the national anthem would be if someone tried to impose the Spanish version as a replacement for, or addition to, the English version at a public event at which the national anthem would traditionally be sung.
The Spanish version of the national anthem might get airplay on some Spanish-language radio stations. But I have seen no evidence of anyone trying to "impose" the Spanish version on the nation. The only events at which the national anthem is commonly sung are sports events. At Olympic medal ceremonies, only the music is played without lyrics.
Until someone demands the national anthem be sung in Spanish at a sports event or at some government meeting, then I see no reason to be concerned. I have not heard anyone even suggest there should be some official or publicly recognized parity between the English and Spanish versions of the national anthem. Unless and until this happens, then I view the condemnations of the Spanish version of the national anthem to be nothing but raw prejudice and hatred. It is simply people seeking to repress something for the sole reason that they are "horrified" at the thought of it. In my opinion, that is not a legitimate reason to be against something.
The National Anthem is a reminder of a time when a revolution was needed to secure liberty and freedom (but not for all). Today, revolution is frowned upon, as terrorism may be involved (just as terrorism may be involved with war, just or unjust, although war is not frowned upon when God is on your side). Democracy - liberty, freedom - is the goal, including by imposition. But revolution may lead to something less desirable than democracy. Some former Soviet Republics trying to make their way into the global economy focus upon "evolution" not "revolution" in explaining to the "free" world that it should not expect democracy, as we in the west know it, to emerge overnight.
So perhaps the Yiddish version should start:
"Oy vey, ken't you see?"
My apologies for the incorrect reference to a revolution rather than the war of 1812 that inspired Francis Scott Keyes.
I find it inappropriate that this Spanish version refers to the U.S. flag as a "bandera sagrada" (sacred flag).
Suprisingly, the same is done in this official website: http://usinfo.state.gov/esp/home/topics/us_society_values/national_symbols/anthem_spanish.html
Language as an ethnic identifying trait is ingrained deeply in some societies.
One line in the text version of the Spanglish anthem translated says, "My people continue the struggle, now it's time to break their chains."
That couplet certainly embodies the passion which infuses most such bulky state-sponsored compositions; though I have not linked to your audio file to hear it, reportedly the performing artists resort to contemporary rhythms in places.
It is unlikely even Anglophones in our time would be likely to intone the century XVII song on which the US anthem was superimposed; consider the following refrain:
"And, besides, I'll instruct you like me to entwine
"The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus's Vine".
It was an imbiber's song. One imagines John Stafford Smith's slight revision of the melody and Francis Scott Keyes' addition of the actual anthem's lyrics to some extent were inspired by appreciation of the dignity of the old British beer drinker's song, Anacreon in Heaven, q.v., though I have heard even that continental origin was derived from Bavaria, where such matters are subtle and advanced.
In researching this topic I happened upon the inevitable: Banned in Boston: 1944 Igor Stravinsky conducted an atonal version of the US anthem, but police arrived to prevent a reperformance the subsequent nite. Such is the relative importance of discord and altruism.
It is a difficult song to sing. One appreciate's Stravinsky's instant insight that here is an opportunity for a measure of dissonance to create a variation upon a fairly uninspired score, John Stafford Smith's pardon requested.
Actually, if one imagines composer Smith on his Gloucester cathedral pipeorgan writing the melody, the cumbersome tonality of the anthem is more understandable, given the acoustics of that performance space.
I think more updates and will be returning. I have filtered for qualified edifying substance of this calibre all through the past various hours. Agen Bola Online

23 CFR 751.13 - Control measures.
(a) Consistent with the goals of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321), recycling of junk and scrap is to be encouraged to the greatest extent practicable in the implementation of the junkyard control program. Recycling should be considered in conjunction with other control measures. To facilitate recycling, junk or scrap should be moved to an automobile wrecker, or a scrap processor, or put to some other useful purpose.
(b) Every effort shall be made to screen where the junkyard is to continue as an ongoing business. Screening may be accomplished by use of natural objects, landscaping plantings, fences, and other appropriate means, including relocating inventory on site to utilize an existing natural screen or a screenable portion of the site.
(c) Where screening is used, it must, upon completion of the screening project, effectively screen the junkyard from the main traveled way of the highway on a year-round basis, and be compatible with the surroundings. Each State shall establish criteria governing the location, design, construction, maintenance, and materials used in fencing or screening.
(d) A junkyard should be relocated only when other control measures are not feasible. Junkyards should be relocated to a site not visible from the highway or to an industrial area, and should not be relocated to residential, commercial, or other areas where foreseeable environmental problems may develop.

i've checked out quite a few wallpaper managers - most have the ability to change the wallpaper at timed intervals, say, once every hour or so.
how about having a wallpaper manager that changed what was on display at a specific time set by the user?
this way you could set up your morning desktop wallpaper that you like to be greeted with, this could then change at midday (or whatever time you specified) and it could then change again in the evening (and again after that towards dusk).
obviously i'm trying to describe something that mimics the changing pattern of daylight outside your window - you would just have something similar presented to you on your monitor. you know, sunrise, sunset, starry night, etc.
taking things further you could have wallpaper set with different times displayed on it - the wallpaper then changes on the hour every hour (or whatever interval you have set that corresponds to the time prints on you wallpaper set).
if this has already been done elsewhere, please let me know, i've hunted around and can't find this specific feature.
i'm no programmer but i would think this a simple thing to code┬Ā

Comments about Nalgene 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle:
Perfect size and love the colors they offer.
Comments about Nalgene 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle:
I like the water bottle very much. Wider mouth allows some ice cubes to fit. The only complaint I have is that it does not fit in cup holders in car and is a bit cumbersome to hold. I will just use it other than traveling. No BPA is important to me. The smaller mouth would have been harder to wash and hard to get ice in.
Like the Nalgene brand. Sturdy with no plastic smell, which makes for very fresh drinks.

Comments about Nalgene 32oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle:
I have 3 of these water bottles (2 blue & 1 red). These are great to take pretty much anywhere.
They hold a perfect amount of liquid and are BPA free. I've dropped these water bottles too many times to count and you'd barely even notice. They are built to last.
These bottles are a little bigger, so if space is a big concern they may not be for you.

My dog is addicted - enough said!
By Miki
from Charlotte, NC
Annie, my Welsh Terrier, gets 1 Breathie per day when her Dad gets home from work. On weekends she begs for the treat at the normal weekday time. She even knows the word "breathie" so we have to spell it to keep her from going nuts. She likes the other Dogswell chicken strips also. I buy them when I cannot find the breathie variety which is hard to find in my local pet stores for some reason. Since I have no need for joint or skin supplements, I prefer the Breathies.I also like the fact that the chicken does not have added hormones and antibiotics. They also smell good enough for human consumption.

Great Product-Great Price

Our Corgi loves them-He looks forward to them after dinner. If we forge he will seek us out, smack his lips and on cue go to the pantry door.

About Me Professional Pet Trainer
Our girls LOVE these chews! I've been giving the treats almost daily for about a year and at our last dental check-up our canine dentist commented on how well their teeth looked. He said they were cleaner and healthier than the year before. I've bought the chicken and the duck. They liked them both, but love the duck. I highly recommend this product!!

Good stuff for raw food breath
By Bully Lover
from Colorado
I get the duck strips for my dog who is allergic to chicken and grains. My other dog who turns up his nose at most things but chicken loves these too! Their raw food gives them stinky breath but these seem to really help - plus they LOVE the duck so it's a great treat or reward. Most duck strips I've found are tiny, thin & hard to chew, but these are nice, flat, & wide and easy to chew. Good for small or large, mine are bullmastiffs, so they are gone in a couple seconds ;-)
By Nikki
from Binghamton NY
I can't think of a better between meal snack then this item. It is full of protein, and all natural. No by-products. Like any treat though, supervision is important. They have reduced the cut of these treats. They aren't as thick, so digestion isnt a concern.
They Work Pretty Good!
By Maca
from Menomonee Falls, WI
Price is great and you get plenty of Breathies in one packet! My dog really loves them and they do help with oral hygiene if used regularly. I think the only complaint I would have is that they don't last too long! My dog chews them up lickety-split!
Not used enough to really see improvemen
By Annie
from Cleveland, OH
I feel I haven't used the product long enough to really see if it helps her bad breathe. However, she really likes the taste.
Good treat chew!
By Mumma

About Me Multiple Dog Owner
I think the chew is good for smaller breeds and as with any chew treat you should supervise your pet. I think the treat chew is also more suitable for smaller breeds becasue I don't think a big dog breed will get much satisfaction.
VERY popular
About Me Single Dog Owner
My little guy isn't that into treats, but he has gone absolutely nuts for Breathies! The jerky-like texture keeps him busy chewing, and has seemed to help his 'terrier breath'. They have also proven popular with our Wheaten buddy with the oat allergy. Ollie and I highly recommend!

Four minutes into the second half of Monday night's clash against Westfield, the Robinson boys basketball team was fading fast. A 34-23 halftime lead suddenly turned into a 34-36 deficit, as the visiting Bulldogs chewed through the home team's zone defense nearly every trip down the court. Even while Westfield supporters puffed their chests and pumped their fists defiantly into the air, Robinson players appeared strangely unfazed.
Perhaps that's because they had their opponents right where they wanted them.
"We don't panic when we lose the lead," Robinson coach Brian Nelson said. "I almost feel like it refocuses us a little bit. When a team bounces back in, it's like a reminder that, 'Oh, we haven't been playing our best. We need to get back to doing the right things.'"
Just as they have done many times this season, the Rams flipped a switch and regained control, allowing Westfield (6-7, 0-2 Concorde) to score only two points during the final four minutes of the third quarter. Robinson (11-3, 2-0 Concorde) eventually held on for a 67-62 overtime victory, the team's 10th win in its last 11 outings.
A look at Monday's box score doesn't reveal anything glaring on the Robinson page, but it tells the story of a squad built more on balance than on any one star player. While 47 of Westfield's 62 points were tallied by three players, Robinson saw four double-digit scorers fill the bulk of its total. The performance was characteristic of a team that seems to find a different leading scorer every time it takes the floor.
"No one's in the mindset that they're going to get 20 [points] a night," said Robinson junior guard Matt Fall, who led his team with a season-high 16 points on Monday. "We've got a core group of guys that are all capable of getting eight to 12 points a night, and really that balance is hard for people to scout against. That's one of our advantages for sure."
It's a change of tune for the defending Concorde District champions, who relied heavily on region standouts Robert Pillow and Tristian Crenshaw for points last season. The two seniors buoyed the Rams with their scoring prowess on many occasions last year, but when their strokes found more iron than net, their team struggled to stay afloat.
No one shoulders that kind of burden on offense this season. When one player struggles, a teammate always seems to elevate his game to keep the Rams from falling behind.
"Our strength is definitely having five or six guys that can score on any given night," said senior forward Nick Bynum, who put up 15 points against Westfield. "If one person's not doing what they usually do, then someone else can step up and score the points that we need."
That next-man-up mentality came alive on Monday when Robinson's leading scorer, Nate Hackett, managed just six points after scoring five in the first quarter. In addition to solid contributions from Fall and Bynum, junior guard Jared Steen nailed four three-pointers to walk away with 12 points, and Joe Bynum broke out with a career-high 13 points. Joe Bynum, who totaled eight points in his previous four games, came off the bench to receive major minutes in the wake of senior post player Keegan Rudy's ankle injury suffered against Centreville last Friday. The junior reserve came up big in overtime's final sequence, knocking down a pair of free throws before grabbing a defensive rebound on the other end and then connecting on another pair to seal his team's victory.
Robinson's unpredictable approach might be its greatest asset, but finding which pieces fit best together isn't always an easy task.
"It's a little bit challenging, to be honest, to make sure that we get the right five on the floor," Nelson said. "Every night's like mix and match; you've got to find the right combination. Our rotation isn't maybe as set as a lot of teams might be at this point in the season, but so far that's actually been a strength for us. When one guy's having a rough night, we've had the ability to get somebody off the bench, play big minutes and make big plays."
The Rams' scoring balance is evident in their season totals. Through the season's first 14 games, Hackett averages 10.75 points per contest, Nick Bynum averages 10.15 and Steen averages 10.07. Opponents looking to shut down one guy on the defensive end will have to pick their poison.
As Concorde contenders Chantilly and Herndon loom in the deepening district schedule, Nelson says he won't be counting on just one of his players to pour on the points.
"We don't care who scores, we just care that we score."

ETSU earns wild five set victory against Canisius at the Radford Invitational
Saturday, September 04, 2010
RADFORD, Va. (September 3, 2010) - With the match tied at two sets apiece, the ETSU volleyball team rallied in the fifth set to down Canisius 3-2, Friday night at the Radford University Tournament. With the victory, ETSU moves to 2-3 on the year while Canisius falls to 1-4 on the young season.
In the deciding set, Canisius got out to a quick 3-0 lead. With the Bucs down 11-10, Jamie Stancliff (Advance, N.C.) recorded two kills in a row to put ETSU in front for the first time in the set. Then, with the score tied at 13, Stancliff again came through with a big kill and that was followed by a Canisius attack error to end the match.
"Jamie and Alysa really came up big for us tonight," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine. "They really helped us out all night and they made some big plays for us."
Stancliff finished the night by tying a career high with 13 kills on 26 attempts for a solid .423 hitting percentage on the night. Alysa Long (Romulus, Mich.) matched Stancliff with 13 kills and also finished with a team-high five blocks. Whitney Cogburn (Kingsport, Tenn.) quarterbacked the offense as she dished out 49 assists and also recorded four kills and a service ace. Kiley Tamblyn (Torrance, Calif.) and Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) both recorded 14 digs on the night to lead the team. Devine also recorded seven kills, an ace, and a dig.
Canisius jumped out to a quick start in the opening set taking a 3-1 lead. However, the lead was short lived as the Bucs won the next eight points to gain a 9-3 advantage. Tamblyn, was key during the run as she recorded back to back service aces. The Bucs extended their lead to 10 before Canisius cut the lead late in the set. ETSU held on by scoring the final three points to seal up the set.
After the Griffins won a back and forth second set 25-23 to tie the score, both teams again battled back and forth in the third set. With the score tied at 20 apiece, ETSU scored three straight points led by two kills from senior Desiree Dyck (Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan). Finally, a kill by Longand an attack error by Canisius closed out the set for the Bucs.
With the Bucs up a set looking to close out the match, Canisius would not go away as they took the fourth set to send the match to a fifth and final set.
The Bucs continue the Radford Tournament tomorrow as they take on Davidson at 10 a.m. before closing out the event against Norfolk State at 5 p.m.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Marshall Chase Making home theater harmony Many HDTV fans experience the disconnect of a wide, pristine picture undermined by tiny TV speakers struggling to eke out sound from their narrow, shallow home in the TV's trim bezel. The Harman Kardon SB 30 comes to the rescue, lifting you out of the rut dug by kazoo-like TV drivers and into the wide world of home theater speakers. Big sound little footprint Harman Kardon knows that while nearly everyone wants better TV sound quality, few want to sacrifice a lot of real estate to speakers, amplifiers and the accompanying cascade of cables and cords. The SB 30 provides an elegant surround speaker solution that requires precious little space but delivers truly spacious sound. The SB 30 boasts an adjustable beam function that lets you tailor the sound to your room whether it's small, medium or large. The sound bar houses a total of 13 speakers to bring dialogue and music to the forefront. Its 230-watt built-in amplifier leaves TV-powered sound in the dust. Best of all, the SB 30 is just one plug away from Dolby® and DTS® digital sound. Just connect your TV, Blu-ray player or satellite/cable box with the included cables and you're on your way to a greatly enhanced entertainment experience. Plus Dolby Volume control ensures that "loud commercial surprise" is a thing of the past. Solving the bass shortage Where most television speakers really come up short is on low frequencies. The SB 30 cures that with a 100-watt wireless subwoofer. Its 8" driver delivers the kind of low, tight rumble that makes action scenes something you can feel in your gut. And film scores play a bigger role, with all of the instruments present in full range. Even voices will sound more realistic. And because the sub is wireless you can place it wherever it's convenient for you.

Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system.

I have installed in my family room that is 24' x 24' with 18' ceilings. This is not my primary veiwing spot in house & did not want to have a complete surround sound speaker system in this room. I did have an existing sound bar but for this size room was a little under sized. Replacing with the SB 30 was very noticable. The sound quality & 8" sub responce is amazing. We use the sound bar for listening music also and WOW it sounds great thoughout the house. Love It! Pros: Sounds & looks great! Excellent mounting hardware. Cons: NONE Was this review helpful? Yes No Harmon Kardon SB 30 Written By DavidW, Roseville, Ca 95747 on Sunday, July 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Harmon Kardon SB 30 was very easy to install and I noticed a very positive difference from the TV sound. I like the way Harmon Kardon made it possible to adjust Dolby, Surround Sound, and adjust for optimum performance via selection for room size. If your Cable TV package offers Digital Radio, just a couple of quick adjustments for Surround, Dolby, and room size and the music sounds like it is coming from your stereo. I highly recommend the Harmon Kardon SB 30 for people looking for a state of the art Sound Bar for their TV. Pros: Great Sound quality, ease of use. Cons: If your TV is a on a Table Top using it's stand and your Put the Harmon Kardon SB30 on the table in front of the TV it blocks access for the Television Control, I must stand up to get a signal to my TV. Highly Recommend mounting your Flat Panel TV on the wall and either mount the Harmon Kardon SB30 directly below the Mounted TV using the wall mounts that ship with the Harmon Kardon SB30 package. Or leave the Harmon Kardon SB30 sitting on the table top below the wall mounted TV. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No SB 30 Written By Jim, Illinois on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Customer service was very helpful in selecting this sound bar. I told him what I was looking for, how much I wanted to spend, and asked his opinion of thee different sound bars in my price range. He suggested the SB 30 so I went with it. I am very pleased with how it sounds. Conversation clarity was my main concern since I wasn't satisfied with what I was hearing from my previous less expensive sound bar. Pros: Great sound. It met my expectations of what a system in this price range should deliver. Cons: Remote feels cheap but so long as it lasts it will be okay. Subwoofer will occasionally boom when switching signals but not always. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Sound Written By FRH, Concord, NC on Friday, April 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed easily. One digital fiber cable from TV and connect it to power. I taught my Harmony 900 how to control it and we were good to go. This is only being used to improve our TV sound, not used for music listening. Pros: Nice size & weight. It fit under my TV. I only had 4 1/2 inches. Cons: There is a delay when you say switch TV Chanels for the audio to play. And it starts out softly & ramps up. Wish the Power Led was more out front. When switching around in my Xbox, which is being used as a Windows Media Center extender, there is a big boom noise out of the sub woofer. I'm guessing some sub audible noise?.

Not every room can accommodate 5 speakers + a subwoofer; and not everyone wants to deal with hooking up rear surround speakers. The Harman/Kardon SB 30 is a two-piece home theater system with a single amplified loudspeaker unit that connects directly to your TV, Sat/Cable box, or Blu-ray player and a single wireless powered subwoofer that can be placed anywhere in your room. The SB 30 Home Theater Soundbar System delivers true Harman/Kardon sound, whether you are listening to music or watching a movie. Active Soundbar: The SB 30 active soundbar contains six 2" woofers and seven 1" tweeters, powered by four 40W amplifiers and seven 10W amplifiers. It features a powerful triple-core DSP (digital signal processor) with two Harman-exclusive surround modes (Virtual and Harman Wave) that utilize different combinations of the soundbar's 13 transducers and 11 amplifier channels to create an astonishingly realistic surround-sound experience in any size room and for listeners at any position in the room, without needing any extra speakers or wires. The SB 30 soundbar speaker is designed to fit elegantly alongside your flat-panel TV and is magnetically shielded. The H/K SB 30 simply plugs into your TV, Sat/Cable box, or Blu-ray player with a single analog or digital audio cable. Note: The active soundbar speaker will need to be plugged into an AC wall outlet. Wireless Powered Subwoofer: The SB 30's wireless powered subwoofer offers you simplicity in terms of hookup & flexibility in terms of placement. The powered subwoofer receives its signal from the soundbar speaker via wireless technology, so you can place it anywhere in your room without having to run any wires. With a down-firing 8" woofer and built-in 100W amplifier, the wireless powered subwoofer delivers powerful bass performance when combined with the system's soundbar speaker. And thanks to its sealed (acoustic suspension cabinet), you can expect more realistic, tight bass performance, and higher bass output, since the subwoofer fires downward against the floor instead of against surrounding walls. Note: The wireless powered subwoofer will need to be plugged into an AC wall outlet. The powered subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. Dolby Digital + DTS Decoding: The Harman Kardon SB 30 home theater system has advanced Dolby Digital and DTS sound decoding. When you listen to a movie using the SB 30, you'll experience superb spatial realism; the sense that you're inside the movie, with all of its sounds moving as the characters on screen do. You'll hear every detail of your movie soundtrack. Harman NSP Surround Modes: Given that it's powered by exclusive Harman NSP surround technology, the SB 30 soundbar achieves a new pinnacle of realism thanks to extremely advanced digital signal processing (DSP) and 13 transducers fed by 11 individual amplifiers, creating a highly immersive surround sound environment. You can choose from the following Harman NSP Surround Modes. Harman Wave: The Harman Wave mode utilizes all 13 of the soundbar's transducers to create both left and right surround sound fields, in addition to using the left and right transducer groups to reproduce the front left and right stereo signals. Extremely sophisticated digital signal processing uses wave field synthesis to separately control direct and indirect sound fields, creating an impressive surround sound sensation in even a large room and for many listeners seated over a large listening area. The Harman Wave mode features a Room Size adjustment that allows you to tailor the soundbar's energy field to match the size of your listening room (Small, Medium, or Large). Virtual: The Virtual mode utilizes sophisticated digital signal processing and an additional four transducers to simulate the reflected sounds that would be created by the rear channel speakers in a room with a dedicated surround-sound system. The soundbar's digital signal processing is specifically designed to maximize the useful listening area while reducing sonic colorations. This digital processing also enhances conventional stereo and MP3 sources by creating rear ambience that adds depth to the sound presentation. Stereo: The Stereo mode reproduces the input signal in conventional two-channel stereo, utilizing the soundbar's left and right speakers. Digital equalization and digital crossover filters help achieve accurate performance for listeners in a variety of seating positions, not just those directly on the speaker's center line. Note: To get the best audio performance out of the SB 30 system, it's recommended that you switch off the sound coming from your TV's loudspeakers. Dolby Volume: The SB 30 integrates Dolby Volume technology, which maintains the same volume level, no matter which channel or program you may be watching. No more being jolted out of your seat by a loud commercial or having to adjust the volume every time you change channels. Dolby Volume ensures that the sound's original balance will be kept at all times and at all volumes, so your entertainment happens seamlessly while sounding precisely how the artist intended. Controls Soundbar Controls: The following controls are found on the active soundbar speaker. Power Button: When the soundbar is in the Standby mode (the Power LED is amber), pressing the Power button will turn on the soundbar. When the soundbar is on (the Power LED is blue), pressing the Power button will put it into the Standby mode. Input Select: This button switches between the analog (source 1) and digital (source 2) inputs of the soundbar speaker system. Volume Up/Down: The Volume Up/Down buttons on the soundbar speaker controls the system's overall volume. EQ Switch: The EQ switch lets you adjust the soundbar's bass for wall mounting or table-top mounting to deliver the most natural-sounding bass performance with any installation. Surround Mode: Pressing the Surround Mode button cycles the soundbar's audio output through the following three surround modes: Stereo, Virtual, or Harman Wave. Dolby Volume: Pressing the Dolby Volume button cycles the Dolby Volume setting between off, low and high. Powered Sub Woofer Controls: The following controls are found on the wireless powered subwoofer. Subwoofer Level: Use this control to balance the subwoofer's volume with that of the soundbar. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer's volume; turn it counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer's volume Phase Switch: This switch determines whether the subwoofer driver's piston-like action moves in and out in phase with the speakers in the soundbar. If the subwoofer were to play out of phase with the soundbar speakers, the sound waves from the soundbar could cancel out some of the sound waves from the subwoofers, reducing bass performance and sonic impact. This phenomenon depends in part on the placement of the subwoofer and soundbar relative to each other in the room Remote Control: The SB 30 comes with a small IR remote that provides control over all your SB 30 soundbar functionality. This convenient, easy-to-use remote control helps you to get the best audio performance out of your SB 30 system. Wireless Code Switch: There is a Wireless Code switch on the rear-panel of the soundbar and subwoofer. The Wireless Code switches let you select between 4 different channels for the wireless subwoofer signal and the soundbar. The wireless codes (1-4) need to be the same on the soundbar and subwoofer. Auto Turn-On/Off: Auto Turn-On/Off Circuitry automatically switches the SB 30 soundbar speaker system on when an audio signal is present, and off when there is no audio signal. Soundbar: The soundbar has a signal detector that will automatically turn the unit on when it senses an audio signal at any of its inputs. To minimize power consumption, the signal detector is not activated unless the soundbar first senses any kind of IR remote signal. The soundbar will automatically enter the Standby mode if no audio signal is detected at any of its Source input connections for approximately 15 minutes. If you have programmed the soundbar to respond to the remote's on and off commands, you can manually put the soundbar into the Standby mode. Subwoofer: The subwoofer will automatically turn itself on when it receives an audio signal, and it will return to the Standby mode when it has received no audio signal for 15 minutes. The subwoofer's LED will turn blue when the subwoofer is on, and will turn amber when the subwoofer is in Standby. Connections Analog Audio Inputs: Use the supplied stereo audio cable to connect the soundbar's Source 1 (analog) input to your TV's stereo audio output. If your TV has two sets of audio output jacks, use the set that has a fixed (not variable) output level. This will let you turn your TV's speakers all the way off while the TV still supplies a constant audio signal to the soundbar. Digital Audio Inputs: If your TV, Sat/Cable box, or Blu-ray player have coaxial or optical digital outputs, you can use the supplied optical digital audio cable or an optional coaxial digital audio cable to connect them to the soundbar's Optical (toslink) and Coaxial (RCA) digital inputs. Mounting Options Soundbar Placement: The active soundbar speaker can be placed on a table-top or wall mounted. Table-Top Mounting: If your TV is placed on a table, you can place the soundbar on the table directly in front of the TV stand, centered with the TV screen. Attach the supplied rubber feet to the soundbar to protect your furniture. Wall-Mounting: If your TV is attached to a wall, you can use the included wall-mount brackets to mount the soundbar on the wall directly below the TV screen. There are two different pair of wall-brackets supplied. One pair is to be used when connecting the soundbar via Stereo RCA or coaxial digital, and the other pair is to be used when connect the soundbar via optical digital. Note: The soundbar speaker is magnetically shielded so it can be placed safely next to your TV. Subwoofer Placement: Since the human ear does not hear directional sound at the low frequencies where the subwoofer operates, it will perform well from just about any location in your room. However, the strongest bass reproduction is likely to be heard when the subwoofer is placed in a corner along the same wall as the soundbar. The maximum wireless operating distance between the soundbar and subwoofer is approximately 50'. Note: The wireless powered subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and should not be placed near your TV.

President Obama covered themes ranging from gambling to guns to dining out as he rolled out metaphors on Monday to push his message on the debt ceiling. At a news conference, he demanded that congressional Republicans raise the legal limit on the country's borrowing and sought to put them on notice that he would not negotiate with them over the issue. GOP lawmakers want spending cuts in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, but Obama said that the limit needs to be raised to pay for spending that Congress has already authorized.
Some of Obama's metaphors were long and complicated, but few were new—he has a penchant for using the literary device and often relies on a handful of tried-and-true ones.
"This is not a complicated concept," he said, introducing a metaphor that dates back to last summer. "You don't go out to dinner and then eat all you want and then leave without paying the check. And if you do, you're breaking the law."
But he didn't end his dining-and-dashing metaphor there. Congress may want a debate about not going out to dinner in the future or going "to a more modest restaurant," he said. "That's fine." But if lawmakers want to control their appetite, failing to pay the servers is not the solution, Obama said.
His use of that metaphor in June was so notable that The New York Times ran a story premised on it. "It's like somebody goes to a restaurant, orders a big steak dinner, martini, all that stuff," The Times quoted Obama as saying. "And then, just as you're sitting down, they leave, and accuse you of running up the tab!"
In Monday's news conference, the president also accused Republicans of wanting to negotiate "with a gun at the head of the American people." Refusing to raise the debt ceiling would result in a "self-inflicted wound on the economy" that would make the United States a "deadbeat nation," he said. "The full faith and credit of the United States of America is not a bargaining chip."
The gun metaphor is one the Obama administration has used time and time again, even in the debate over gun control. Last week, Vice President Biden said there is no "silver bullet" to reducing gun violence, but that he was "shooting for Tuesday" to turn his recommendations over to Obama.
In September, Obama attacked GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney with what CBS News' Mark Knoller said "may be the longest football metaphor ever spoken by a presidential candidate." And, in 2010, he let the "campaign metaphors roll," as The Times reported, refusing to drop one especially stubborn car-in-ditch metaphor to describe the state of the economy he inherited from President Bush.
But there is a downside to an overreliance on metaphor, as Jeremy Cox at Texas State University noted in a journal article last spring analyzing Obama's use of metaphors: It "runs the danger of allowing those metaphors to stand in the place of reasoned discourse."
