In his first public comment since the findings from a report were released last week, Foulger-Pratt Cos. Managing Principal Bryant Foulger said Thursday the original design of the Silver Spring Transit Center did not include post-tensioning in the large concrete slabs that the county called a "safety hazard" last week.
Post-tensioning, the process of strengthening concrete by tightening wires inside the concrete, would have made the structure more sturdy according to David Dise, the director of the county's Department of General Services.
But the county claims post-tensioning was shown in some areas of drawings and specifications, as required by the county, all along, Dise said.
Foulger said Thursday he was disappointed the county did not share a copy of the report prepared by Washington, D.C.-based KCE Structural Engineers before its presentation to the Montgomery County Council on March 19. He also said he believes County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) should hear Foulger-Pratt's side of the story. The county hired KCE to study the structure. Foulger-Pratt is the general contractor for the project.
The Silver Spring Transit Center — a $112 million transit hub project on the corner of Colesville Road and Wayne Avenue in downtown Silver Spring — was expected to open in 2011. A series of cracks found in the structure and disparities in the thickness of the concrete at the center have delayed the project's opening by nearly two years so far — and it's unclear when the center will be open for business.
The report prepared by KCE, released to the public March 19, revealed the Silver Spring Transit Center contains "serious design and construction defects" that compromise the center's structural integrity, longevity and safety.
The county received a copy of KCE's report March 18 and did not make the report findings public until it addressed the Montgomery County Council March 19 at 3 p.m. Foulger said he was sitting alongside members of the community and the press waiting to hear the results of the report, which had not yet been made available to his company.
Foulger said his company has not yet received KCE's full report and, therefore, hasn't yet evaluated it.
Dise said the three-volume report is being converted to a digital format, which will be shared with the county and its contractors in the next couple of weeks.
Foulger also said he is "shocked" and "disappointed" by the inconsistencies between the county's description of the KCE report and what the report actually says.
"The clear statement that the county made at that hearing, and since then, is 'We had no idea that these pour strips did not have post-tensioning,'" said Judah Lifschitz of Shapiro Lifschitz & Schram, a law firm that represents Foulger-Pratt. "[But] the original design of the project did not call for post-tensioning in the pour strips."
Additionally, a copy of an inspection report from Jan. 12, 2011, obtained by The Gazette, shows that The Robert B Balter Company signed off on a visual inspection stating that "prior to concrete placement reinforcing steel was inspected and found to be installed as per specifications."
A copy of another Balter inspection report from April 19, 2011, obtained by The Gazette, also stated that "prior to concrete placement reinforcing steel was inspected and found to be installed as per specifications" in the concrete deck pours at the 330 level.
Lori Balter of The Robert B. Balter company did not return requests for comment on Thursday.
"This is a point of contention between Foulger-Pratt and the county," Dise said, noting that post-tensioning was shown in some areas of the drawings and specifications, but not shown everywhere. "We already have a paper trail notifying our determination. They already said they disagree."
The structural engineer hired by the county, Parsons Brinckerhoff, carefully reviewed every shop drawing detailing where rebar and post-tensioning should be located in the structure, Foulger said Thursday while pointing to one such drawing at his company's offices in Rockville.
According to the rendering, Parsons Brinckerhoff marked in red where something needed to be changed, he said, noting that those drawings show that no post-tensioning is intended to be placed in the disputed concrete slabs.
Parsons Brinckerhoff did not respond to calls for comment on Thursday.
Furthermore, KCE's report says the designs for the project did not include post-tensioning requirements in the pour strips in level 330. The report also says the cracking was due, at least in part, to the design of the structure.
Lifschitz said pour strips do not typically have post-tensioning in them. The pour strips at the transit center were a bit wider than usual, he said, but "far be it for us to say you should've done it this way or that way."
Lifschitz said the county's presentation last week came on the heels of a year in which the county has conducted itself in a manner that "flies in the face of basic notions of American fairness." Lifschitz and Foulger said they were "outraged" by what they heard at the presentation.
"For the county to not talk to us and have a professional dialogue for a year, for the county to post this report that took $2 million and nine months and timed perfectly at 3 [p.m.] when they're getting up and making a presentation in front of the county council, for the county to be out there talking to the press for 10 days, and for us not to have the guts of the report so that we can analyze it ... flies in the face of the most basic notions of fairness," he said.
Dise said Montgomery County had a trailer at the transit center with five full-time employees, including inspectors from the Department of Permitting Services, on site every day to oversee general operations. Those county employees were there to ensure that the contractors that are supposed to be on site are present and doing their work, Dise said.
He said representatives from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority also were on site.
"We had an awful lot of people looking over our shoulders on virtually everything that was done on this project," Foulger said.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said that if there were representatives on site, they were observers, not inspectors.
Stessel also said that while WMATA signed off on wording for the features of the facility, such as how many bus bays there would be, or the capacity, the agency had "no role in reviewing or approving the design."
Foulger said the project has been "fraught with mismanagement" from the beginning. He said his company has been given 448 days of time extensions in the project and another 15 claims that total more than 500 days of additional time delays, caused by the "lack of coordination" of the drawings provided by Parsons Brinckerhoff.
"It is the county's responsibility to make sure that their consultants perform and they have not done that in this case. And that has cost the taxpayer time and money as it relates to getting this project up and done," Foulger said.
"It was their job to oversee and proactively manage the design of this project to make sure that when we as a contractor got the drawings, that they were complete, that they were coordinated and they were buildable," he added. "That didn't happen here, and that's why we've had 900 days of delays. That's an absurd number."
Foulger said he also was disappointed with Leggett's statement March 19 following the report's release. The statement explains that the facility contained "significant and serious design and construction defects."
"The county executive in his statement essentially indicts us, tries us, and convicts us without realizing or understanding that there is another very compelling side to the story," Foulger said.
Foulger-Pratt has no other projects with the county or bids put in for future projects with the county now, Foulger said, noting that his company is concerned about litigation.
"We've been trying to work cooperatively with the county to get this resolved," Foulger said. "We are accountable for our actions and behaviors and we hold other people accountable, as well. That's what we've done for 50 years."

Love the wireless and the IPAD controls it Pros: Goes with my Infinty woofer Was this review helpful? Yes No Replacement electronics Written By MJ, Green Valley, AZ on Tuesday, August 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It was time to replace an old Harmon Kardon receiver. After research and reading reviews, selected this SONY unit. Very pleased with result. Easy setup, great sound, facilitates control of all components. Too bad it's outdated but I;m sure the new model is just as good. Pros: Setup is a snap. Cons: none. Was this review helpful? Yes No Loads of features at a great price Written By JPAnderson, Lakeville, MN on Monday, May 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was in the market for a new receiver. I wanted bluetooth at the least, and wifi if possible. With this receiver, you get both. Also, you can hook up your iPod, iPhone or iPad and control it with the remote. Sony makes an app for Apple and Android products so that you can control your receiver with your smartphone. I feel like this is the greatest value in receivers right now. Pros: It has loads of features and a fairly low price point. Cons: Setting up the wifi is pretty cumbersome, but worth the effort. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great stereo for the price! Written By slatfour, Boise, Id on Saturday, April 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far, this stereo has exceeded my expectations. I'm using the receiver to push a 5.1 setup using Polk speakers. Pros: Bluetooth Wireless Sound Price Cons: No RCA outputs Doesn't connect to all Bluetooth devices w/ ease 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great product with a few kinks Written By JKA, NYC on Thursday, April 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product. The airplay is nice although sometimes it gets hinky switching to other inputs from the native airplay Pros: Well priced. Nice wifi and Bluetooth capabilities. Cons: Hiccups in switching from airplay to other inputs. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Product for the price Written By Daniel, Royersford, PA on Sunday, March 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this receiver for my condo which is a relatively small space. The sound is great, the options provided with this receiver also works great Pros: Price and features Cons: None so far 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great receiver, price and service Written By Jason, Madison, WI on Thursday, March 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sony receiver was everything we had hoped for, easy to hook up and operate, with great sound for all devices. Pros: Ease of setup Sound Ease of use 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Performs beyond my expectations. Written By PatrickS, Brea, CA on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit provides excellent sound and ease of use. Set-up and sound balance were a breeze and the system provides excellent sound quality. I especially enjoy the dynamic sound range for fine classical music and jazz. I have used Sony equipment for many decades and they just keep improving their performance and quality. This was my first purchase from Crutchfield and I found a very pleasant experience and will definitely be a returning customer for years to come. I would recommend this unit and Crutchfield to anyone looking for their first system or anyone upgrading from an older system. Pros: Sound quality and ease of set-up. Conducting business with Crutchfield Cons: NONE 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Outstanding Network AV Receiver Written By Butch, Kansas City on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 Outstanding network AV receiver with a sleek look with more than adequate power and features for price points. Pros: Wireless and Ethernet connections plus Airplay Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes No Great features but lacks in user interface Written By John, Falls Church, VA on Saturday, January 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Sony product is a solid competitor for a wireless receiver with more features than most at the price range. Plus it went on deep discount for the holidays making it a no brainier. Combining it with the SideView app completes the experience and let's you run videos on shared drives directly through a networked device (mine is a 360). Pros: AirPlay for apple devices with other streaming services for music. Solid sound for my large Polk stereo, though not taking full advantage as I have a 3.2.1 setup but would live to use the 7.2 capabilities to knock into the next time zone. Cons: User interface is clunky and nearly impossible to use unless you know where everything is or have the side view app from Sony. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No DN840 - Almost Perfect Written By Karl D., Ocean City, NJ on Friday, January 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is a fantastic unit -- sound and features provide a super value. I'm still working out the pass-thru settings for the Sony TV we have connected to it. I would give it 5 stars if the pass-thru was a tad simpler. It seems that if we power-off the Receiver while it's set to "BD" for example, we can't later on power-on the TV and see a picture. We must turn the receiver back on and set it to "CATV" (for the TV cable box) and then power-off the receiver. Only then will the TV play via pass-thru. The only other weakness I see is that sporadically the Receiver will go into "Muting" mode, for unknown reason. Doesn't happen often, but it is annoying. Otherwise, this is a great unit and I would definitely buy it again. And the Crutchfield folks have been super -- helping me adjust speaker settings, crossovers, etc., for our living room. (The automatic speaker setup works fine -- I just wanted to customize it a bit.) Pros: Awesome features, great sound -- does everything it advertises to do! Airplay is pretty cool -- just select it on your iPhone and it starts up! Cons: TV pass-thru is a bit cumbersome - could be our settings, but not sure. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Lamarc, MIchigan on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding player, I replaced an older Sony 5.1 surround. This unit has better sound than the older unit. The set up was a little complex but the Crutchfield support team was great getting me thru the install. I had to take off 1 star because of the remote, its complicated and the layout of the buttons could be improved. Pros: Has bluetooth, built in WIFI, ample HDMI inputs, great surround sound. Cons: Layout of remote, UI is very basic and needs to be upgraded. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Value AVR Written By Anonymous, Oklahoma City, OK on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is a great buy. It is very competitive to other AVR at this price range. It has the most complete wireless streaming capability (wifi, bluetooth, and airplay). The wattage and THD are pretty standard. Plus THD is measured in the thousandth percent range which doesn't make a huge difference. I paired this with the Energy Take Classic 5.1 and the sound was pretty good. I came up with the combo after reading so many positive reviews on the AVR and the speakers. I got noticeably better sound by turning on auto volume and sound optimizer on the receiver. In addition, manually set the speaker type to small and crossover frequency to around 120hz on the AVR if the auto-calibration didn't set it correctly. Dial the low pass frequency to max on the subwoofer and just let the AVR handle the crossover frequency. Correct the speaker distance if the calibration didn't set them correctly. The sound was close to my Bose Cinemate Series II or better after all the adjustments. Let the speakers break-in and they will sound even better. Overall, the sound was comparable to my new Bose Lifestyle 535 if you factor in the price. The Bose won by having tighter bass, crisper sound, and clearer vocals, but the price is ~3 times higher than the Energy. The difference in sound quality is around 1 times better. This receiver is not for users that want accurate speakers auto-calibration, analog to digital up conversion, and pretty and user-friendly GUI Pros: Great value, complete wireless streaming capabilities, modern-looking design Cons: Bad speakers auto-calibration, Unattractive/not very user-friendly GUI 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Joe B, MAYAGUEZ, PR on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After many years of music listening via excellent high end gear such as McIntosh, Krell, Audio Research, Linn, Thiel, B&W, Dynaudio, I decided that my passion for this type of gear had diminished as I got older and now retired into a smaller dwelling where room for music listening was at a premium. So in come smaller B&W speakers and home theater system. I was looking beyond Denon, Onkyo, and Pioneer receivers which, while very popular and good sounding , their features were lacking or sometimes complicated to set up. So in comes the SONY STR-DN840. Crutchfield had it discounted so I gave it a try. The receiver was smaller in size and feature full, such as Bluetooth, Airplay, USB input as well as more than enough HDMI inputs for my needs. On top of that, an advertised 150wpc , two speakers connected. When all was hooked up with seven speakers and source equipment plugged in, it was time to let the SONY tune up the speakers to the room acoustics which it did by itself thru the supplied microphone. Easy as putting sugar into a coffee cup. And what a pleasant surprise when I played the first jazz CD, and then a Rachmaninoff symphony and a Liszt piano concerto at 1/2 volume. The first movie, REDS, sounded awesome via Dolby B. I found that the cabinet heated up quite a bit so you need to have some headroom over it for ventilation. The display on the TV screen seems spartan when showing index items and the receiver display could be larger for easier viewing. Pros: Easy setup, good strong and detailed sound, and a decent price. Cons: Power supply generates quite a bit of heat. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Cindymac, Central Point OR on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Although this is a little higher than I wanted to spend I purchased it because of the connections composite-component. You can tell from the picture on Crutchfield's site. However product description said there were none. Then to Mfg site and it says there was. Other than that it works ok. Pros: Easy to use Cons: Needs component-composite connections but then most do. There are a few of us old equip users still out there 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Anonymous, Houston, Tx on Saturday, December 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using this receiver to run a 12" sub with two central speakers with 4 ceiling speakers around a central sofa area. Speaker calibration was fairly straight forward, as in just follow the command prompts. The Wifi setup was less simple as it took some time to realize how to make capital letters. The instructions overall were poor here. The sound is very nice and well done with the calibration. There is only one area we watch TV which simplifies things. The sound is a very noticeable improvement from my much older Yamaha receiver. The Pandora screen off the device is bland with only a black screen and the song title streaming across the screen. I dont see a way to setup a background screensaver. I cannot add stations through the receiver but will play all the stations setup previously. Music sounded much clearer than previous and I am very happy with the sound. There is an app and have connected both by Samsung S3 and Ipad to control volume and change songs. Did notice that you have to have bluetooth enabled to find the device and only connects one at a time from what I can tell. Overall, I am really pleased with receiver as the sound is much improved and calibration worked well. The internet apps like Pandora were a little less impressive but still functioned well overall. I recommend this receiver as an excellent lower cost device that works well and has the features of more expensive receiver. Pros: Sound quality and self calibration Cons: Instruction manual and poor visuals with the device's apps 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice Onkyo replacement. Written By Tom G, Liverpool, NY on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very satisfied with this great receiver. Easy set up, good tech support from Crutchfield and sounds sweet. Price was right as I got this on sale. Pros: Standbye pass through. Integrates well with my system. Easy speaker configuring. Cons: None yet. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great receiver for the price Written By Alex, Lehi, UT on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first receiver and I love it. It kicks out plenty of power. The only real downsides I've encountered are (i) the lack of a display on the receiver for the tuner (you have to have a connected television on in order to see the various preset stations; (ii) banana plugs do not work on this unit; and (iii) the software/GUI are rather clunky (this has been reported multiple times). But the setup was easy enough, and adjustments to the speaker size, volume, etc. are pretty easy. Couple its bluetooth/WiFi capabilities with the price and you have an outstanding value! Was this review helpful? Yes No great sound Written By cr, Florida on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced what I thought was a very good receiver that was failing. The new SONY has much better sound and the TV voices are much clearer to me. I am not a tech person but the set up was fairly clear and straight forward. I am still trying to learn some of the functions. The instruction book assumes considerable knowledge of terms so I may have to call Crutchfield support. The one issue I have is that it does not exactly handle two rooms or zones. You give up the rear speakers if you use speakers in another room. I will need to install some sort of speaker switch so that I can have 7.2 surround sound in my main listing room and then switch to 5.2 in the main room and stereo sound in the 2nd room. Pros: Sound is very good and voices are clear. Should be a 5 star rating except for one con listed below Cons: Not really a two room receiver. Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Anonymous, Reisterstown, MD on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice receiver. Plenty of features, a few more HDMI inputs than I need right now, but glad to have them for future expansion. Great sound and surround separation. Overall great bang for the buck! Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Anonymous, Santa Fe, NM on Thursday, December 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I give the receiver 5 stars. My main reason for the overall downgrade is that the instruction manual leaves much to be desired. I am reasonably tech savvy, but some of the manual instructions are not very clear and you'll have to do some experimentation to figure some receiver operations out. Pros: The receiver has many great functions at an excellent price point. Cons: The instruction manual. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Receiver Written By Stan M., Jackson, WY on Sunday, December 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great receiver at a reasonable price. Relatively easy to set and operate, yet it has a lot of nice features. Pros: Excellent sound and easy to use. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good bang for the buck terrible interface and instructions Written By robassable, AZ on Sunday, November 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got this reciever a month ago. It is fairly easy to use, sounds pretty good for movies, surprisingly good it for music for a HTR rather than a dedicated stereo receiver. The remote is not backlit and though it doesn't control everything like I would like it to it at least isn't a cluttered mess like so many others. I found it easier to just do most of the set up and install without reading the lousy instruction manual. The manual is written in bad English (probably translated from some asian language) and is poorly organized. For example several steps along the way in the preliminary set up stages it says "see page page 72 for this and see page 37 for that"...overall a pretty painful read. The bluetooth feature works great and there are literally tons of internet stations to pick from which is a lot of fun. This is my first receiver with Airplay and I love this feature. I just open up my pandora app on my iphone, pull up airplay and it wakes up my receiver without me having to use the Sony remote. My disappointment though and it is my biggest gripe with the reciever is that the airplay skips at times and sometimes loses the connection all together. I have done all of the current software updates and if I can't get this resolved soon I may have to return this reciever which would be a shame. Were it not for the problem with airplay, the horrible interface (looks like something from an old DOS program) and lousy manual I would give it 5 stars. Pros: Good sound for movies and music, Has a cleaner look than a lot of other HTR's, lots of features for the money. Cons: Instructions poorly organized and written. Antiquated inefficient interface with very dated graphics, airplay loses connection and sometimes skips. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sony STR-DN840 Written By Dan, Anchorage, AK on Friday, November 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I couldn't be happier with this receiver. The sound quality is stunning, and the features are phenomenal. The bluetooth and airplay features, along with the many HDMI connections, power, and clarity make it an amazing receiver. Contrary to what another reviewer said, this receiver is NOT difficult to set up. Granted, setting up any kind of sound system requires some effort and a willingness to read the user's manuals. Pros: Bluetooth, Auto Phase Matching, Airplay, Power, Functionality Cons: None 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: Easy setup and calibration.

Yes No Phenomenal Written By Anonymous, Madison, WI on Sunday, October 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is by far the best receiver you can buy for the money. There are more expensive receivers with a couple more bells and whistles, but the Sony STR-DN840 is probably what 99.99% of people will need and want. Setup is a breeze. Pros: Bluetooth, wifi, 7.2, 4K, 3D, lots of supported formats. Cons: Once in awhile the video will cut out, unsure if it's the receiver, TV, or video device. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I did a lot of research on entry-level receivers and this one clearly has the biggest punch for its price: bluetooth, airplay, 4K pass-thru, and built-in Wi-Fi. User interphase could be a little better. Overall, very satisfied.

Yes No Very good, with slight reservations Written By Rick, Deer Park, NY on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far sounds great and I enjoy streaming Pandora radio. The Wi-Fi connected right to my wireless router. Typing in the WEP key was a bit painfull as the remote is a bit too busy and confusing. On the receiver itself I would like more buttons to actually push rather than using the remote and I think buttons would enhance the whole look which is pretty bland. Otherwise quite a lot of bang for the buck with the myriad of connections, 7.1 and Internet capability and higher watts than similarly priced models. Pros: Built in Internet connectivity. 7.1 capability. Lots of connections. High output wattage. Good price point. Cons: Bland, button-less look. Busy/confusing remote. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome receiver Written By AV Man, Raleigh, NC on Wednesday, July 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love this receiver. This receiver replaced a Pioneer VSX 820 and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The audio and video quality is excellent and with all of the connectivity options this receiver is the best value on the market as far as I can tell. Pros: 6 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out, menu navigation on your TV, wireless network connectivity, DLNA, ethernet port, bluetooth and easy speaker calibration. Cons: The menu interface displayed on the TV could be better. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Solid machine Written By DanO, Annapolis, MD on Monday, July 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is pushing 4 components and packs plenty of power. Purchased the definitive technology cinema 800 series for the basement with two existing Boston acoustic speakers in the ceiling. Have the receiver hard wired to house network as we are taking advantage of Sony entertainment network and pandora application. Basement area is over 1300 sq ft in total size and I have yet to turn the master volume north of 1/3 receiver power. All in all, great product and the bang for the dollar is there which to me equals value. Interface is a little watered down for a 2013 machine hence the 4 star rating. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The AV receiver's Surround Back/Front Height amplifier channels can be configured to accommodate your type of home theater setup. Surround Back: Allows you to enjoy high-fidelity reproduction of Dolby Digital TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD (High-Resolution Audio or Master Audio) with 7.1 channel surround, using the Surround Back speaker channels. Front Height: You can enjoy vertical sound effects if you connect two additional Front-Height speakers in Dolby Pro Logic IIz mode. No Surround Back speakers in this configuration. B-Speakers: If you are only connecting a 5.1ch speaker system, you can use the Surround Back/Front Height amp channels as a Speaker B output, allowing you to place a pair of speakers in another room of the house. Speaker B can be played at the same time of Speaker A, or by itself. Speaker B uses the same volume control and source input as Speaker A. Front Bi-Amp: If you are not using the Surround Back/Front Height at all, you can connect them to your front speakers using a bi-amplifier connection (if applicable). This provides even better sound quality from your front speakers. Your home theater setup will be limited to 5.1ch. Advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration (DCAC) w/ A.P.M (Automatic Phase Matching): The Sony STR-DN840 is equipped with Advanced Digital Cinema Auto Calibration Technology which uses the included microphone to automatically check the speaker connections, adjust the speaker output levels, calculate the distance from each speaker to the listening position, check for phase, and distinguish frequency characteristics of each speaker.

Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) Mode: The Auto Format Direct (A.F.D.) mode allows you to listen to high fidelity sound and select the decoding mode for listening to a 2-channel stereo sound as multi-channel.

Analog Direct: The receiver's Analog Direct mode outputs audio from only the front left and right speakers without any tone or DSP processing; only the volume and front speaker balance adjustments are active.

Headphone Modes: The receiver offers two distinct headphone sound modes. HP 2CH: Sets the receiver to power only the front left and right speakers, no surround and no subwoofer. Two channel sources bypass the sound field processing and multi channel sources are down-mixed to 2 channels.

Advanced Audio Settings: These advanced audio settings allow you to tailor the sound to your source content, listening conditions, and your personal preferences. Equalizer: You can adjust the tonal quality (bass & treble level) of the front speakers from -6dB to +6dB, in 1dB steps. D.L.L. (Digital Legato Linear): The Digital Legato Linear function is a Sony proprietary technology that allows low quality digital audio signals and analog audio signal to be played back with high quality sound. Sound Optimizer: The Sound Optimizer lets you enjoy clear and dynamic sound at low volume levels. It automatically calibrates the sound which cannot be heard well when you turn down the volume level. After Auto Calibration is performed, the sound level is optimized to suit your environment. Dynamic Range Compressor: This feature allows you to compress the dynamic range of the sound track. You can select standard or maximum compression, or off (only works with Dolby Digital sources). Auto Volume: Auto Volume adjust the volume automatically depending on the input signal or content from the connected equipment. This function is useful, for example, when the sound of a commercial is louder than the TV programs. Center Lift Up: By using front high speakers, you can lift up the sounds of the center speaker to an appropriate height on the screen, allowing you to enjoy a more natural representation.

This is convenient for labeling the jacks with the names of your connected components.

Most job recruiters say that the average paper résumé is sized up within the first 10 to 30 seconds of reading. Why not shake it up and try a video résumé instead?
See also: 5 great jobs you can do from home.
Not all jobs warrant video résumés. But if you're in a line of work where all eyes are on you — sales, public speaking, tourism or fund-raising, for instance — a video résumé is a chance to show off your personality and your skills. It will also show a future employer that you're not intimidated by social media and the online world.
You'll need a computer, Internet access and camera. Consider shelling out about $50 for an HD web camera. It will dramatically sharpen your video image. Or maybe you can get a friend to shoot you with a smartphone.
Websites such as Sparkhire.com are sprouting up with easy-to-follow tutorials on how to get rolling. At Purzue.com, you can watch sample videos to see how other job seekers are showcasing themselves and their work.
I can't help but think of the famous line from the 1950 film Sunset Boulevard, when the leading character Norma Desmond (played by Gloria Swanson) says, "Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark! ... All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."
Ready to get started? Here's what you need to do.
Prepare your pitch and rehearse. Review sample videos and write a script. You don't have to memorize it, but outline your major talking points. Practice what you're going to say. This isn't a long segment. Think of it as a 60-second commercial, a sound bite with some snap to it. It can run longer, but certainly no longer than three minutes.
Report to wardrobe. Dress professionally as if you were going to an in-person interview. These videos are shot from the waist up, so slip into your full costume to set the mood. Style your hair. Ladies: Use a little extra lipstick and makeup as the camera can wash you out. Go easy on the jewelry. Men: Make sure ties are straightened and shirts are pressed. Watch for stray hairs drifting about on your collar.

Since the Staff is already overworked, I support the decision to yank the entire thread, rather than going through all the time and trouble of removing the pics that violated TOS. Making more work for an already overworked staff is not something I like to see from the members.
Thanks for your future cooperation.

you know, attempts to be a smart-aleck and putting nasty pictures up like that makes you just as guilty as if you put something up that was too risque

What if that pic you posted was actually my deceased Aunt? You can see how an attempt at a joke, can sometimes offend others...
I'm sure inFINS didn't know your mother had passed away... if he had, he'd have used a different example...

deconstructive / theme
Addressing a genre, a tradition, but so as to expand it, blow it open, spread it out, open its borders to its own hidden selves. A question which will not go away and produces -- not answers -- but new possibilities. Not destructive; rather, the deconstructive reveals the obscured. In a sense, then, the deconstructive is creative, productive.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

Saturday, February 16, 2002Columbia, S.C. (Feb. 16, 2002) - Jon Coutlangus hit a three-run fifth inning home run Saturday to power South Carolina to a come from behind 7-4 win over East Tennessee State and a 2-0 lead in a three game college baseball series. The final game is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., Sunday at Sarge Frye Field. The win boosted fifth ranked South Carolinaąs record to 5-0 while East Tennessee State dropped to 0-2. Chris Spigner, 1-0, rallied from a shaky first inning in which he allowed all four ETSU runs to claim the win. East Tennessee starter Reid Casey (Kingsport, Tenn.) took the loss. Spigner worked seven innings, allowing only three hits after giving up four in the first inning. He struck out seven and walked none. Casey, in six innings, allowed nine hits and six runs, five of them earned. He walked one and struck out five. Blake Taylor relieved Tony Adler after Adler gave up a hit and missed the strike zone on his first two pitches to Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) to begin the East Tennessee State ninth inning. Taylor coaxed a double play grounder out of Terry and retired Ryan Hyder (Erwin, Tenn.) on a fly ball to end the game. Taylor was credited with his first save of the season. South Carolina trailed 4-3 when Steve Thomas and Landon Powell singled to open the bottom of the fifth inning. Both runners advanced on a sacrifice and Coutlangus, the South Carolina center fielder, hit an opposite field drive over the left center field fence for his first home run of the season and a 6-4 Gamecock lead. The Gamecocks added an unearned run in the seventh inning for the final three run margin. East Tennessee jumped to a 4-0 first inning lead on four hits and a hit batter. Brian Crouse (Kingston, Tenn.) and Terry had doubles in the inning. Davis Burklin (Knoxville, Tenn.), Crouse, Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) and Terry drove in the runs. South Carolina answered with three runs in the bottom of the first on three hits, including a two run double by Yaron Peters and a ground ball RBI by Trey Dyson, his 10th RBI in five games. Steve Thomas had three hits, including a double, for South Carolina. Coutlangus and Drew Meyer had two hits for the Gamecocks. Justin Harris had a double. Keithley had two hits for East Tennessee.

A door opens and two worlds collide. Enter the attic of make-believe, where the mundane meets the marvelous. Dreams and nightmares intertwine. La Nouba, which calls on both individual and collective memory, is an unforgettable journey into a world at once threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar. La Nouba beckons to us, challenges us to uncover passions we thought we had lost long ago; to frolic in our childhood dreams and enter a place where the extraordinary transforms and overcomes the ordinary.
La Nouba is the meeting of two worlds, poles apart: the fantastic world of the circus artists—the Cirques (circus people), sporting bright, fluorescent colors—and that of the Urbains (urbanites), who wear dark, monochromatic outfits. When these two worlds first make contact, the magic and amazing feats of the one set fire to the pale mundanity of the other. For more information visit La Nouba.

How can I locate a scientist with a disability similar to that of a student in my class?
Some Internet resources discuss famous scientists with disabilities. There are resources with information about living scientists who can be contacted with questions about educating students with disabilities and working with individuals with disabilities, including the creation of accessible equipment and labs. For example, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Project on Science, Technology, and Disability publishes the Resource Directory of Scientists and Engineers with Disabilities, which offers information about professionals working in a variety of science and engineering disciplines.
Educators may also contact scientists featured in Working Chemists with Disabilities, a publication of the American Chemical Society Committee on Chemists with Disabilities. The publication breaks down information by regional educational institutions, government agencies, and private institutions.
