Finishline Garage Door Bottom Bead End Weather Seal PN2922
Comments / Questions
COMMENT: Fit by Robert C 7/8/2016
COMMENT: Replacement for garage doors. by Lenwood H 6/21/2016
QUESTION: does it come in three inch widths? by None N 9/23/2015
STAFF ANSWER: No this seal only comes 4 inches by Matthew O a
QUESTION: what is the best way to install the new weatherstripping on the bottom of a garage door? I bought 3/16 beaded weatherstripping for my door which has 3/16 tracks inside diameter but the new weather stripping won't slide into the tracks beyond 6-7 inches. The tracks are not bend or compressed. should i have bought 1/8 beads? by Frank A 9/6/2015
ANSWER: I had the same problem. I removed track from the bottom of garage door. soaped up the track with liquid soap and water. With help from my wife, we were able to pull it on. It did'nt slide on easy, but it slid on much easier...After install I rinsed the track and allowed it to dry before reinstall. by Randy P a
ANSWER: Yes, 1/8" will work fine. With 3/16" you have no room for it to slide thru. Also, I lubricated the seal and track that the seal fits in with some penetrating oil to ease the process of installing. by Fred K a
ANSWER: Hi. Probably is theproblem! I bought a generic at a box store that said universal and had the same problem. I even tried cutting the bead. Get the smaller bead. Will slide right through by chad s a
ANSWER: My husband and I installed this same product. We rubbed liquid soap on the area first. He pulled and I pushed a few inches at a time. It took about 15 minutes. It fits fine and does the job. We ordered the same size as the track. by Douglas C a
ANSWER: I'm not sure about the size...if you're able to get it in 6-7 inches it is probably the right size from what I recall. There are 2 or 3 different beads one is flat; one has rounded edges

To install it I found it really took 2 people -- one pushing and one pulling. We made sure the track was as clean as possible and then put some soapy water in the track -- that seems to help. Even with 2 people and the soapy water it was a fairly slow process ... an hour or more to do a 2-car garage door. Hope that helps by David S a
ANSWER: I suspect so. I used PN2922 for my track and forced it in from the bottom instead of feeding it in length-wise. by Daniel P a
ANSWER: There are at least two videos on YOUTUBE that are extremely helpful. The videos describe removing the bottom plate and working the weatherstripping on in a flat open work area. CAUTION --- pay close attention to instructions to remove the bottom plate! Do it wrong and the garage door will fall off. That being said, use soapy water to lubricate the weatherstripping. That will allow it to slide on 2 or 3 inches at a time. by Charlie H a
STAFF ANSWER: Yes the seal is to big for that track. You can try using soap and water and clean the track and it maybe easier to slide in. by Matthew O a
QUESTION: What is the width of the Finishline Garage Door Weather Seal PN2922? by James D 6/25/2014
ANSWER: Great product,easy to install, the width is appox 3 inches. Depending on the spacing of the track beads you will have about 2 to 2 1/2 inchs surface when installed. The seal to the floor is excellent by rinaldo p a
STAFF ANSWER: About 4 inches. orignally was 3 inches by Matthew O a
QUESTION: I need to install this from the header above my hangar doors to seal the gap above the accordion fold doors but I will need the track to slide the bead into. Can i get the track for the bead from you? The stripping will hang straight down from the header flush against the inside frame of the doors.

Thanks folk!

Mary Rosenblum by Mary R 4/27/2014
STAFF ANSWER: Please call us a 440-366-6112. We sell other seals that will seal that area better. by Matthew O a
ANSWER: I bought this produce for the bottom of my garage door. It works great. Don't know if they sell the track or not.
They asked me to answer your question but I don't think they read what you are asking. by Tom G a

Innovative Technological Platform for Compact and Reliable Electronic integrated in Actuators and Motors
State of the Art - Background
The actual political, environmental and economic trends applied to air transport point to future moves to the All Electric Aircraft (AEA). The goal of this concept is to eliminate as many hydraulic power sources and complicated circuits of high-pressure hydraulic lines as possible. The engine, which is currently required to produce thrusts, pneumatic power, hydraulic power and electrical power, must be redesigned and optimised to produce thrust and predominantly electric power.
Today, it is clear that reliable electric actuators are one of the technical bottlenecks for achieving this ambitious technological vision of AEAs. The goal of power by wire (PBW) is to significantly reduce or eliminate altogether the hydraulic connection and its associated risks by providing electrical power straight to the actuators. However, the maturity of PBW technology is lagging behind. In fact, the real challenge for the implementation of the PBW aircraft is the development of compact, reliable, electrically-powered actuators to replace the conventional hydraulic systems, thereby allowing the replacement of all electrical hydrostatic actuators by Electro-Mechanical Actuators - EMA (flight control actuators, braking system, landing gear actuators, propulsion inverters, various pumps, and various auxiliary actuators).
The CREAM project objective is to reach new high performance and reliability capabilities of Electro-Mechanical Actuators (EMA) in harsh thermal environmental conditions ready to use in all-electric aircraft.
For this global objective, it will develop an advanced, smart, miniaturised and reliable electronic technological platform integrating new compact technologies, advanced components and assembly methods able to substantially improve the drive and control electronic modules and the EMA motors in order to:
- Provide high power density and compact characteristics of electronics modules integrated in actuators or motors (reduction by a factor of 2 of the electronic volume and mass);
- Provide advanced new concept of thermal management of the electronic platform allowing higher performances and reliability;
- Provide high temperature and compact motors for actuators (reduction of 30% of the motor volume and mass);
- Integrate the new electronic and motor platform in actuator housing and a very severe thermal environment (above 200°C) providing performing thermal management;
- Provide validation of aeronautic reliability in high temperature at least at the same level than existing hydraulic systems (50 000 hours), and even better (100 000 hours) with health monitoring functionality.
Description of Work
CREAM proposes an ambitious technological research program allowing the development and validation of a number of various emerging sub-components, packaging and motor technologies and to integrate them to a high performance smart electronic and motor technological platform destined to electric actuator preparation. The project is divided into 4 Work Packages (WPs).
WP1, Specifications, is oriented to the better understanding of the harsh environment and the complex validation plan to ensure the best implementation of the new actuator in aircrafts.
WP2, Multi-Chip Power Module (MCPM) Design, is the core development of the CREAM project and will lead to the creation of the new electronic part of the actuator. This workpackage is divided in to 4 sub-workpackages.
WP2.1 refers to the technical coordination of this activity and all developments of the MCPM global packaging (electronic interface, global packaging and integration between modules).
WP2.2 refers to the development of a new power module for the actuator including power component interfaces with the control module and the compact high temperature power packaging.
WP2.3 will develop another electronic module dedicated to the control of the actuator for high temperature applications.
WP2.4 deals with the reliability of the electronic devices developed, including all assembly technologies and reliability of the modules integration.
WP3, Actuator Global Integration, is dedicated to the development of a new motor for this generation of actuators. New technologies, as new magnetic materials or new motor control method, will be evaluated to improve the actuator.
WP4, Technological platform validation, aims at validating the new actuator to perform the Technological Readiness Level expected.
Expected Results
The following technological outputs of the CREAM project will lead to further economic impacts:
- Reliable 'application-ready' high-temperature electronic modules: establishment of European know-how in the field of high-temperature electronics;
- Successful development of high thermal conductive materials with high thermal stability: such materials are of interest in many areas where reliable cooling is an issue;
- A new technology and design for measuring current in harsh environment, reusable in various sectors;
- High temperature and compact motor controller for applications in valves and pumps;
- Reliable EMA actuators in hard thermal environment providing reduced operational cost for maintenance.
Immediate benefits derived from the wider application of electrical power and electronics in actuation include higher performances and reliability, benefits of overall weight reduction, easier maintainability, reducing operating costs (including reduced fuel burn) and enhanced safety.
CREAM is able to establish the credibility of electric actuation as a primary reliable method for aircraft actuators including flight critical control surfaces, by integrating innovative concepts and sub-systems and reliability testing methods.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Suicide bombers carried out simultaneous attacks on Shiite Muslim shrines in Iraq on Tuesday, detonating multiple explosions that ripped through crowds of pilgrims. At least 143 people were killed and 430 wounded - the bloodiest day since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
Unofficial casualty reports, however, put the toll in Baghdad and Karbala as high as 223. Authorities said there were about a dozen suicide bombers in the two cities as well as in Basra, several of whom were captured before they were able to detonate their explosives.
U.S. officials and Iraqi leaders named an al-Qaida-linked militant, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, as a "prime suspect" for the attacks, saying he seeks to spark a Sunni-Shiite civil war to wreck U.S. plans to hand over power to the Iraqis on June 30.
But some Shiites lashed out at U.S. forces. Iraq's most powerful Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Hussein al-Sistani, blamed the Americans for not providing security on the holiest day of the Shiite calendar.
Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish members of Iraq's U.S.-appointed Governing Council pleaded with Iraqis to remain united - an attempt to avert reprisals. The blasts fanned fear and anger at a time when leaders of the Shiite majority are pressing for more power in a future government after years of oppression under Saddam.
The attacks forced the delay of a milestone in the path toward the U.S. handover - the planned Thursday signing of an interim constitution approved by the Governing Council.
"What we've seen today in these attacks are desperation moves by al-Qaida-affiliated groups that recognize the threat that a successful transition in Iraq represents," Vice President Dick Cheney told CNN.
The devastating explosions came on the climactic day of the 10-day Shiite mourning festival Ashoura commemorating the 7th century martyrdom of the prophet Muhammad's grandson Hussein.
The festival was also the occasion of an attack on a Shiite procession two hours later Tuesday in Quetta, Pakistan. At least 42 people - including two attackers - were killed and more than 160 were wounded. In Pakistan, the annual rites often spark violence between the Sunni majority and Shiite minority.
Tens of thousands of pilgrims from Iraq, Iran and other Shiite communities were gathered when the explosions went off about 10 a.m.

Immigrant rights marchers clog Minneapolis
The local backlash against Arizona's controversial new anti-immigrant law got loud and crowded over the weekend when about 2,000 marchers clogged downtown Minneapolis to express their outrage at the legislation.
They were part of something much larger.
Police estimate that 50,00 took to the streets in Los Angeles, 20,000 in Dallas, 8,000 in Chicago, 5,000 in Tucson and tens of thousands in other cities all around the country.
The Arizona law would require police to check the immigration status of anyone suspected of coming into the country illegally; if the suspect -- regardless of citizenship or residency status -- can't produce the right papers, they will be arrested.
The local Saturday protest, part of May Day celebrations, comes after Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak asked his department heads on Friday to cancel any official city travel to Arizona.
"In my opinion, this is a terrible law and I do not want any public dollars to be spent there," he said in an e-mail to department heads. "I feel strongly that the City of Minneapolis should not endanger the safety of our employees or spend public resources in Arizona at this time."
Earlier in the week, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman announced an official boycott of all city travel to Arizona.
The protest also took place after the Republican Party of Minnesota endorsed state Rep. Tom Emmer for the governor's race this fall.
Emmer, in an interview last week with Minnesota Public Radio, called Arizona's law "a wonderful first step."

Toshiba Satellite P875-31P review
A powerful 17in laptop to replace your desktop

WITH THE EXPLOSION of slimline ultrabooks across retail outlets lately, it could be said that the larger and more conventional notebook PC is sometimes overlooked, especially considering that users now often sacrifice size and power for style and portability.
Nevertheless, there is still a place for the large notebook PC, especially for those looking for portability and power in one machine. Well known brand names such as Toshiba are still offering large notebooks for those who prefer a large screen with a full sized physical keyboard. For example, the Toshiba Satellite P875-31P is one of the firm's most powerful 17in notebooks available that aims to deliver desktop PC capacity along with portability.
Design and build
One thing that will immediately strike you about the Toshiba Satellite P875-31P is its textured satin silver chassis. Although it exhibits a premium finish due to its chrome detailing on physical buttons, Harman Kardon speakers and trackpad, it's not the most inventive design.
It also doesn't feel the sturdiest either, with the majorly-plastic exterior making it a little less robust than those built with an aluminium chassis. Saying that, we suspect Toshiba has designed it this way to fit a specific target audience, as those looking for a desktop replacement are perhaps not as interested in unique design as they are size, power and performance.
Though a metal construction would have made the Satellite even heavier and harder to transport, we can't help but think that for £1,200 Toshiba could have done more in this department.
However, the chassis is soft to touch and the hinge has a good strong resistance meaning the screen's support not only feels sturdy but will stay in whichever position you put it in, even when moving it around.
As you'd expect for a laptop of this size the Toshiba Satellite is a rather hefty piece of kit weighing just less than 3kg. When closed, the notebook is 34mm thick, so as you can imagine it's not something you'd want to carry back and forth to work every day.
Next: Performance and OS.

How does Super Bowl Monday sound to you? What about Super Bowl Friday?
This year there might be a football first – the Super Bowl be held in an open air stadium in Northern City. It's set for Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. But there is a chance bad weather could make the game unplayable that day, so the NFL has to plan ahead.
The league has a plan in place that could move the game up to Friday or slide it back to Monday.

Second goof is that Mary ellen doesn't get baptized. Third goof is when at the end if you look at the crowd erin looks like she has wet hair but she'd already been baptized according to a comment made earlier in the episode.

One of the headstones on the mountain is for a Floyd Walton, who is named as the son of Henry and Martha Corinne. The inscription gives his year of birth as 1898, making him 28 years younger than his nearest brother, and making Martha Corinne 51 years old when he was born. None of the characters ever mentions Floyd, not even his own mother, and this headstone is the only evidence for him in the whole series.

We learn Curt and Mary Ellen's house has the number 301.

Out of sequence? In the previous episode - The Seashore - the opening starts with "In the late spring of 1940 our world on Walton's Mountain was very quiet and uneasy." This episode's opening says "In 1939 when the threat of war hung over our country..."
The ending narration says that was the last Christmas before the US entered World War II. However, as the season continues with spring of 1940, this would be Christmas of 1939. Since the US entered World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, this is untrue. However, since the show skipped a year between season 6 and 7 (as it also did between 5 and 6), this is true from a 'watching all the episodes in a row' standpoint.
Everyone said that Jim-Bob was too young to enlist, but in "The Secret" John Boy said that Jim-Bob was born on Jan. 13, 1923. On Dec. 7, 1941 Jim-Bob would have been a little over a month from his 19
When Jim-Bob is playing the accordion for Olivia at the end, in long shots you can see that his fingers are not moving enough to be playing the song.

Ben and Cindy only mention their daughter, Ginny, who died not too long ago, but not their son, Charlie. They also give the impression that Ginny was still fairly young, though both of their children would be in the early twenties by now.
Although Mary Ellen and her husband at the time Curt had a son, John Curtis in season six, there was no mention of him at all in this movie. Instead Mary-Ellen has two more children with her husband Jonesy, even though she was told having more children could be fatal to both her and any potential babies.
In the first episode of the Waltons it is 1933 and John-Boy is 16, so in 1963 which is 36 years later he should be 52 years old. Elizabeth was about 7, so she should be about 42 years old in 1963. In this Episode Olivia says that she's not worried about Jim-Bob and Elizabeth not being married yet because they are still young, but I don't call 42 years old as young.

Skip to comments.Resurrection of a Stereo System
Posted on 11/10/2011 2:08:42 PM PST by Chickensoup
After twelve years, I am resurrecting a stereo component systen that has been dormant and in a cabinet. I need to purchase speakers, hopefully white. Do you have any recommendations?
I got the tuner to work, and the six disc cd player. The tape deck is working but wont speak to the tuner. My focus is speakers. they are the wire kind that connect up in the back with little red and black twisties.
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers,
You get more mileage from a cheap pair of sneakers.
Well before you buy speakers you should get the specs on the amp in the turner then match the speakers to that. Could be that $50 pair from Radio Shack would work fine if the amp is not a good one. But if the amp is a good powerful one then you will need an expensive top of the line speakers. So first find out what the amp needs to make the sound, sound good.
No, I was referring to Cerwin-Vega being owned by Stanton.
Bose are small and are marketed very well. But as speakers they're pretty lame and overpriced. The slogan among audiophiles is "No highs, no lows, it must be Bose."
I recall a technical detail about the characteristic impedance of the amplifier being required to match the characteristic impedance of the speakers. That's usually expressed in Ohms, I believe. Might want to consider that before you blow an amplifier or a speaker.
Those 3 are good for for their price.
If your "tuner" is really a receiver, you may have to engage the "tape monitor" switch to listen to your tapes.
Try ebay, search for white speakers, lots come up.
I recall a measurement in Watts, along the idea of a 350 watt amp needing 500 watt speakers, just to be safe.
Good deal. It`s the best way to go if you liked them before...It`s like falling in love again..
What a nice offer. I will continue to look. Take care.
If your tuner is really a receiver, you may have to engage the tape monitor switch to listen to your tapes.
I did still not working. I think that I am just not doing something right. I think this happened before and I jusst have to push the right combination of buttons.
Why I am allowed near electronic equipment...??
Check out RTR speakers. I think they are still made. I have a set of vintage 1978 speakers that still work good. I have them connected to my same vintage Yamaha receiver in my garage. Both are bullet proof. They sure don't make em like they used to! The Yamaha receiver is all analog and made out of real materials. The speakers are probably 30 lbs each anyhow.
I recall a technical detail about the characteristic impedance of the amplifier being required to match the characteristic impedance of the speakers. Thats usually expressed in Ohms, I believe. Might want to consider that before you blow an amplifier or a speaker.
Ooooohhhh my.
Thank you.
That was the detail I was missing.
I am on Amazon. Is what I am looking for a subwoofer?
Although I cannot imagine what a dog in the basement has to do with sounds systems.
Check your cables, it's easy to mix up the rec/play, in/out.
Check your cables. The tape deck output should be going to the "tape input" on your receiver. Check your settings. My old Yamaha has two selectors. One for choosing what you listen to "Output." It has another slector that is called "Rec. Out" that sends the audio signal to the device you want to record from/to.
Yes, 8 ohm and 4 ohm are the most common. You must match.
If you're in Maine.
Craigslist - electronics - KLH (I happen to like old KLH speakers, they are really good, and also cheap these days)
that particular listing looks good.
also try ebay - and do a search for something close to you.
Then my second choice would be Yamaha speakers.
Just emailed for more info, thanks.
"No highs, no lows....it must be Bose!"
After a lifetime in the 'biz' (since 1972) I can assure you that no serious audio affectionato has ever spent a dime on Bose speakers. (if they win a pair, they give them to their sister)
Absolutely horrible, they are.
I have 40 year old KLH Model 6s which sound great.
Old but great speakers are available for cheap.
Old speakers are better than new.
Thanks for the heads-up. I bought an inexpensive pair for my computer, and they sound OK but nothing to brag about.
I don't mind if someone "pays too much" for something (say a Rolls over a Mercedes) because, though I may think they could have gotten a better "value", they do get something that is, nevertheless, better.
However, that breaks down in the case with Bose speakers. Not only are they usually twice as much as competing products, but also intrinsically inferior on any basis you choose.
A little more info would really help narrowing down the field (there are literally thousands of speaker models out there!).
What kinds of music do you listen to, and how loud?
Size of the room in which you'd be placing them? And is the room heavily damped (lots of absorptive things, like cushy furniture, bookcases, carpeting, etc.) or lively (reflective, with lots of glass, concrete, tile, etc.)?
Output wattage of the amplifier driving the speakers?
How much room can the speakers take up physically - in generally increasing size order, minis, bookshelf, stand-mounted, floorstanders? And can you space them so they're away from the walls?
Do they need to be shielded due to proximity to a CRT-type TV?
What's your intended MAX budget?
How important is it that they be white, and does it matter if they're finished in wood or metal?
What speakers have you heard in the last couple of years that really impressed you?
Are you a fussy listener, or not overly critical?
The white speaker issue might be one of the most limiting things - off the top of my head, the first things that come to mind are Axiom, Cabasse, Canton, Gale, and Radio Shack (don't laugh - the RS Minimus-7 speakers can be very good with a little modification, swapping out the electrolytic cap in the crossover with a film cap, and they'll outshine junk from Bose and the like every day of the week).
There are a lot of white-finished 'decorator' speakers sold for home theater use, but unfortunately most of them are as awful as can be.
Welcome back to the audio world! And in case you haven't kept up, know now that all audiophiles are flat out craaaaaaazy. :-) We'll get you step-by-step...first with the speakers, then a couple of innocuous upgrades here and there...and soon you'll be forking over your paycheck to the local pusher, er, I mean, dealer. When you move up to tubes and vinyl, hold on to your hat!
" When you move up to tubes and vinyl, hold on to your hat! "
Glad you broke the ice - I was afraid of showing my age with my thought on the subject —
It ain't a 'system' if it don't have a turntable, and it ain't 'stereo' unless the amplifier is home-built.. (Kits okay for beginners...)
My big birthday present to myself last year was a new Arcam FMJ amp to replace my dying old Denon receiver and a pair of Dali Mentor 2 speakers to replace the Bose system I bought before I knew any better. Now I'm shopping for a sub $1000 DAC to run my digital music files through.
There is no Minimus-7 at the Radio Shack website.
I listen to classical, medieval, musicals, crooners, and jazz for the most part.
It is about a 20 by 16 room but opens into other areas not heavily damped (what's a curtain?)
I think bookshelf size.
How far from the walls? six inches, two feet?
No Tv
I was hoping about 200.
I am trying to regain the music in my life. I have been listening to a $50 sound system the kids bought me from Mart-mart or Targmart or someplace like that.
I just want to listen to beautiful music and not have it blur. i love components and how they work. the music seems somewhat more substantial in a nice component system. After I buy the TV, I am going to upgrade the components although I dont think the cd player needs upgrade. it is a 6 slot Pioneer PDM 426 which replaced the sony carousel that died years ago.
Thank you.
I haven't been over at audiokarma in a while, but I'm a member.
I would say that
1) use craigslist to determine what is available in the area
2) go to audiokarma to determine what the experts say about the speakers that are available in the area.
MISCELLANEOUS News/Activism and it is very miscellaeous.
I think that sounds like a plan!
The man is recommending these.
What do you think?
thank you
If you are going to use this for a main system, I'd recommend a sub woofer to go with the speakers. But make sure first your amplifier/tuner will be compatible!
Take a look here, these wouldn't require a sub woofer:
I know they're not white but...Whatever you do, take your time, there are a lot of options out there!
Big ol Pioneers $30.
I'm in Maine, and at least in my part of Maine, there really aren't any goodwill / salvation army stores with good selections. I have been in those stores, and I have looked for old speakers. The selection is weak.
Back in the day, the Miles Rummage Sale in Damariscotta was the place to go for used speakers. I got a lot of good speakers there. Really, really cheap. But the Miles Rummage sale is gone. So, getting old speakers in Maine isn't easy.
I would probably go to a 2 stage buying process.
I'd buy those $30 Pioneers. $30 is not a lot of money. And you might love them. Over and done. But you'll probably want to upgrade. There won't be any pressing need to do so, because you have adequate speakers. But keep watching for a great deal on classic speakers. Keep watching craigslist for a KLH model 6, a KLH model 17, someone mentioned a Dynaco. A Large Advent. An old AR. And get them for a great price.
I got 2 pair of KLH model 6s, from Craigslist, in Maine, for less than $50. The deals are there.
There are people selling on Craigslist who really want, and need money.
There are people selling on Craigslist who want to get rid of stuff they have.
thank you
Sorry, I should have mentioned that the Minimus-7 isn't a current-production speaker; RS stopped making them a few years ago. They're often found on Ebay - there's a pair in white listed there now, starting bid $20. Given the size of the room, though, the tiny Minimuses (Minimi?) would be too little speaker to fill the space.
Not listing rock, rap, etc. as your preferred music gives you a lot more flexibility, though - you don't need something that's going to whomp out The Who at 110dB.
Your max price puts you square into the vintage speaker market, like Acoustic Research, EPI, Boston Acoustics, ADS, Advent, Wharfdale, Celestion, and so on. BUT that's a tricky market. Most speakers, being mechanical devices, have a limited lifetime before parts have to be repaired/replaced; the surrounds and cones dry out, crack, separate, etc., and the components in the crossovers are often way out of spec simply due to age. If you buy speakers and then have to have them refurbed, that would add dramatically to the cost.
So you should be looking at speakers that are, at most, 9-to-10 years old, unless you know what you're doing and can fix them yourself. Forget about new speakers; about the cheapest decent new speaker on the market is the PSB Alpha (and yeah, they're pretty good), but you'd have to stretch your budget to about $300 to buy them retail. A lot of decent speakers have been mentioned in the thread; if you can find a nice pair in good condition (which means being able to see/hear them for yourself before purchasing), then take a shot.
Don't forget to visit your local audio dealers. There are fewer today than years ago, but they still exist - and since few people become audio dealers with dreams of making millions, they're likely to share your love of music and care about reproducing it well. Many dealers will have used/trade-in equipment in good condition, so you're likely to find something better then your budget might otherwise allow.
JBL 4350s image nicely.
Ok, well, I'm looking through Maine Craigslist. I'm in Maine too, so, well, if I see a pair of Large Advents for $10, well I might not tell you about it, but.
Get These
Small, smaller than what I want. $35 in Camden.
Cost $349 new
This person is in Camden. This person is likely the type of person who doesn't want to throw away expensive stereo equipment, not someone who needs to sell cheap or broken stereo equipment to survive.
The Camden person is selling a lot of good stuff for almost nothing. Also good is the Cambridge Soundworks Model 17. Cambridge Soundworks is a modern version of KLH and the Model 17 is likely a modern version of the KLY 17.
I wrote him. thank you
thank you I appreciate your wisdom
You're welcome ;)
I'm a member. Rarely post though. I joined a couple years ago when I bought an early '80s Yamaha receiver (CR640). It's pretty much the vintage audio mecca.

This week on The Cuttlebug Spot there's a challenge to make a man's card. Valentine's Day is coming, so I got to work.
I just got a Cuttlebug for Christmas. So far all I've done is a little embossing, including the front of this Valentine card. Doesn't the embossing look like steam?
Most of the papers are AC Card stock. The small coffee pot and cup on the front are Kiwi Metallic Cover by The Paper Company, outlined with Sakura Glaze pen. Floral cutout on the large cup from a paper by Frances Meyer. The steam is Glaze pen on acetate. I cut out the cover letters and the scalloped green piece with my CraftRobo.
As the card is opened flat (180°) the steam pops out of the cup. The cup itself floats about 1" above the card.
Here's a look at the pop up mechanism.
I'm working on a tutorial for this pop up mechanism, the floating tabletop, so look for Lesson 22 soon.

This blouse is a bit of a fiddle to do up.
It's kind of complicated to do up this blouse.
I've just came across the meaning of "fiddle" as "something difficult to do" and I tried to rephrase the sentence in order to get kind of a synonym.
Yes, you can say it and it won't be wrong:
but generally fiddle is defined & accepted as:
The thing to remember with fiddle is that its original, literal meaning is violin, and that the various figurative senses of fiddle and fiddly all derive from the very fast precise finger movements that playing the fiddle calls for. Thus:
The fingers of a good fiddler playing a fast piece move almost too fast to see what s/he is doing. This is why a clever scam or swindle is called a fiddle.
I agree. Fiddle is not complicated, but can require many steps with attention to detail and precision. Complicated implies levels of structure, and extensive decision making.
I wouldn't say a woman's blouse is complicated to do up, you don't need to follow a manual before it is buttoned. On the other hand, making something small and intricate like Dorset buttons looks complicated and very fiddly work.
Certain buttons can be time consuming to close and might require nimble finger work.
I'd say the following Austrian tinies [the website misnamed them Austrian smalls] are fiddly because of their tiny size. If you had twenty or more similar buttons on a dress or jacket, they wouldn't be easy to close quickly.
But, if you were talking about making something

I, too, have seen some of the "Elsewhere" commercials and can only comment on them from my professional experience.
My exposure to the commercials has been mostly from viewing what would be considered "fringe" cable stations which air old rerun programming. Since RJ drastically cut the advertising budget in the early fall of 2012, JCP probably has to settle for whatever airtime is available. It is my opinion that the return to sales strategy was not planned so much as it was forced on RJ. This new strategy is simply a knee-jerk reaction to his failed policies (no more sales, no more customers, shrinking sales revenue, etc.). This new approach, forced on RJ, was rushed into production.
I, personally, have not seen any spots airing on network programming, so I assume most of the commercials are airing in the local/spot markets, which can be cheaper and less expensive than a network buy, depending on the number of local markets in the mix.
The production values are very low. There is no voiceover element to reinforce the message that JCP is a low-priced leader. No words to convey the excitement of the JCP shopping experience. No voiceover talent means no residuals to pay...a cost-cutting move. Also, note that the faces of the on-camera talent are not visible...another cost-cutting move. There is no tag line/positioning line, no mention of a JCP website, no music or jingle to reinforce memorability.
When I first saw one of the commercials, I was flipping around and thought I had accidentally hit the mute button. Each commercial uses thirty-seconds to promote one item. To me, this is a waste of airtime...each commercial could easily feature three different items/price comparisons. Using thirty-seconds to focus on one cardigan sweater is not a productive/effective use of the airtime.
As others have questioned...where exactly is "Elsewhere"? Is JCP comparing their prices to the Macy's price? The Target price? The viewer can only guess. Also, the viewer has to rely on the honesty of JCP's message and assume there is some validity in the prices compared...this from a company that was recently caught trying to get suppliers to artificially inflate the MSRP on items.
The "Elsewhere" commercials are nothing more than a slide show...cheap, boring, outdated and dull. Just like JCP itself.
Saw the new "elsewhere" commercial on independent TV station showing a Cold Case marathon. Nondescript, pointless, totally forgettable. Waste of time.
There are, of course, pitfalls in trying to take the "Low Price" position. A company has to pare overhead expenses to the bone...cut advertising expenses, cut service personnel, etc. Profit margins get squeezed. The "Low Price" position eventually becomes a competition among competitors to see which one can bleed the longest and still remain standing. It is a very difficult position to win and maintain.
Lancer, I've worked in media in the past, and your observations are right on the money. Thirty seconds can be an expensive eternity in TV ad time if the message isn't presented with impact. And the cost-cutting is as obvious in these spots as it is inside the stores themselves.
Thank you, duke. I based my impressions of the JCP current "Elsewhere" campaign on my 20+ years on Madison Avenue. I doubt the response to the commercials will be expectations.
For more info(insider info not to be disclosed on this board) on "elsewhere" go to the JCPenney website and under the "elsewhere" price is a "learn more about elsewhere" link right under it - - - I found the disclaimer on MSRP about "They are from our suppliers" just as innocently as if the supplier voluntarily submitted that info.
how we compare pricing
learn more about elsewhere: The "Elsewhere" price reflects a comparison to the price of that or a comparable item found online or in-store at national specialty, home, or online-only retailers during the last 90 days. Comparison prices are rounded down to the nearest dollar.
learn more about msrp: MSRP represents a suggested price provided by our suppliers. The MSRP may be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar.
learn more about appraised: "Appraised at" value is the total Estimated Retail Replacement Value for Insurance Purposes provided to jcp by the International Gemological Information a Division of International Gemological Institute, Inc. as of the date of appraisal based on a representative sample of the production run for such item. The date of appraisal may not have occurred in the last 90 days.
In determining the Estimated Retail Replacement Value for Insurance Purposes, the appraiser/gemologist accumulates by national survey today's market prices as well as current costs for labor, materials, creative design, certification, the precious stone and metal markets comparable sales data and offers from reputable firms. Because costs and margins may differ substantially from retailer to retailer based on their locality, various services offered, and marketing methods, an average of these costs and margins is used to determine an estimated retail replacement value for insurance purposes. These estimated retail replacement values for insurance purposes are not for investment purposes and are not a representation or warranty that the article(s) will realize that value if offered for sale at auction or otherwise.
Let's face it, advertising isn't going to turn this thing around. One big problem has been mentioned in other posts. That is of the ability to service the customer. Say you turn it around---the advertising hits the mark and droves of people rush into the store. What happens? Not enough associates to handle the rush. So, what happens next? People have a bad experience and either leave before buying or suffer thought the experience and never return again.

I agree with all the previous reviews. Just had a great first day at 10e. The mountain was a pleasant surprise. Everyone we spoke with was great and had a huge smile when we told them it was our first day.
Do not be fooled or lulled into thinking that this is a light weight challenge. There is only one green on the main mountain. The blues and blacks, compared to other mountains are well rated.
The trail terrain has bends and curves you would not expect from a smaller hill. The "Forget Me Not" trail is well named. The run we took on this un-groomed trail was the equal and then some to the diamond trails on bigger mountains further up the road.
No lines on a Saturday in January. On more than one run, we skied right to the load line without stopping. There are only two lifts, but they provide more than adequate access to the mountain. The snow surface was great.
Check it, you will be surprised. But don't tell too many people!

Beg, Borrow and Steal
At my Principal's Meeting today I got several great ideas form some of my colleagues. I cherish the opportunity to talk with and learn from them. I work among some very talented and motivating folks. I am never above begging, borrowing or stealing ideas to keep things interesting. we have several Blended Learning options available for student use this year and I have seen some incredibly brilliant and unique ideas for rotating students through the classroom computers to make sure students are accessing the tools. I think its time for some school wide motivation and recognition for those who are meeting or exceeding the expectations. So...coming soon to a bulletin board near you...

Under the Big Top Fun!
Tonight was the ever popular PTA Fall Carnival. It was by far the most well attended event we host all year and certainly the most fun. I'm pretty sure we hit a record with size of the crowd, nearly running out of candy, prizes, and food. Aside from the first rain in 17 years it was the smoothest I can remember. I am always amazed at how everyone bands together to make these magical childhood memories happen for families.

Literary Character Parade
Today was our annual Kindergarten and First Grade book character parade. Everyone dressed as their favorite character and together the whole celebrated the love of books with our youngest readers. My ever amazing Media Specialist, KK Cherney, never fails to disappoint a single child by making sure ALL have a costume to wear each year. This year she directed the costuming effort from the floor of her office, even sick she would not go home and stuck it out the whole day even through he Book Walk at the Carnival tonight. There is nobody who loves books or our babies more than KK!

OK, I've spent several hours now trying to get a simple display of my Amazon Wish List in the sidebar.
First, I tried the plugin from Two Ells:
It produced errors all over the WP admin area.
Next, I tried CG-Amazon:
but found it overly complex for my needs, and could never get anything more than "No products found" to display (I don't have to add my wishlist products to the DB do I? I assume the script automatically fetches products from my wishlist, right?)
Finally, I tried thoughcrash's Amazon Wish List Plugin:
but got errors related to Cache/Lite.php (I have the Snoopy class installed in my magpie dir, but what is this? The PEAR Cache::Lite extension?)
All I want to do is display items from my amazon wish list. Can anyone recommend an easy to use plugin for WP 22.214.171.124 that will allow me to do this?

- The Mission and Ministry Board of the Church of the Brethren held its summer meeting on June 29 in Greensboro, N.C., with a focus on finances. On the agenda were approval of a 2017 budget parameter for the Core Ministries of the denomination, approval of budget revisions for this year 2016, and affirmation of plans for a new financial campaign, among other business.
- Church of the Brethren interim general secretary Dale Minnich has signed on to a letter from an interfaith coalition to Congressional leaders, which urges that steps be taken to mend divisions between communities and law enforcement.
- Jay Wittmeyer, executive director of Global Mission and Service, met with White House officials to raise concerns about the US drone warfare program. The meeting in Washington, D.C., included other denominational leaders from other faith traditions with statements challenging US drone warfare.

Before that, with a knife, killing a mother and father in front of their three-year-old son. Before that, it was Brussels. And Paris. And Paris. And Toulouse.

- The Haiti Medical Project began as a partnership of American and Haitian Brethren responding to health needs in the wake of a devastating earthquake in 2010. In the time since, the project has grown tremendously with the help of grants from the Global Food Initiative (formerly the Global Food Crisis Fund) and the Royer Family Foundation, and the drive of passionate individuals from both the Church of the Brethren and L'Eglise des Freres Haitiens (Church of the Brethren in Haiti).

After buying a voucher of 1 of the deal websites i was really looking forward to visiting Mt Cheeseman, after reading the reviews and looking at the website everything was looking good.
But this was not the case when i arrived. I had booked up to arrive on a Sunday for 3 nights but as i was excited i got there a day early, i rang ahead to make sure there was room for me and then set off. When i arrived there was no one around it was like a ghost town. I searched around for about 45 mins but couldn't find anyone. As i was looking i found another guest but he had the same problem as he was looking for a member of staff also. I had a look on the slope but everything was closed this was at around 3.30pm. I decided to head off to find somewhere else to stay at this point i was already regretting making my booking.
I arrived bright and early the next day thinking i would give it another go and not let the previous day spoil my break. The lifts where open and i found a member of staff straight away.
They showed me to my room but the snowline lodge was filthy as you walked in, it looks like gypsy camp there was bits and pieces of carpet down and the walls where dirty and this place is tryin to charge $90 a night.
I went onto the slope but came straight back down as there was hardly any snow. It said on the website that there was 90cm of snow on the lower slopes this must be measured on a area no one skies, on the lower slopes the snow was brown and rocks where coming through all over the piste.
I was really angry at this point as i really look after my ski equipment and have had it years without ever scratching the underside and in 10 mins i had put some big scrapes in them.
In my deal i had breakfast and dinner, 3 nights accommodation and 4 days lift pass for $250 which is a awesome deal. But when i went back i sat in the lounge and waited for dinner to be served but nothing came. Some people came into the lounge/kitchen and cooked food but never offered anything. I sat and waited till around 8.30pm and still no one came. I was now really hungry so decided to ask the people who had cooked the food if i could please have some i really felt bad as there was no where open to buy food so really had no other choice. They gave me some which i was very grateful for.
I then went to bed in my freezing cold room wrapped up in my ski clothes and in my sleeping bag. When i woke up in the morning it was a beautiful sunny morning i went into the kitchen to see if breakfast was ready but there was no one there. I then decided to leave as this place was really wrecking my break.
For anybody thinking to visit Mt cheeseman i would really think twice. If there is a good deal on and they have had a massive dump of snow then maybe give it a go for a day but no longer.

My son and husband share the same Apple ID and have all the same media on both iPhones (games, itunes) etc. We are now experiencing a problem where my son receives all my husbands sent and received text messages through iMessage. I was told to change the Apple ID on my son's phone to his own so he would no longer be receiving the messages. When I change the ID, will he lose all of his iTunes? That is his greatest concern. Thanks.
The good news is that iOS allows you to have a separate iMessage Apple ID then your iTunes store Apple ID. To remedy your problem follow the steps below:
After this is done, you can go to Settings.app -> iTunes & App Stores, and make sure the Apple ID there is set to your Apple ID.
And, to firmly answer your question: No, having a separate Apple ID for iMessage and iTunes (and the process of changing it) will not erase content.
Note: instructions provided work best with iOS 6, but should be workable with iOS 5.

Meet the Editors
Introducing...Katelin Walling, Managing Editor
I grew up in Maine—the Greater Portland-Midcost area—and although I'm new to the New York City area, I'm nothing like the naïve, fresh-faced country girl hopping off the bus dreaming of making it big on Broadway—you know, the one pictured in movies.
Although it may be hard to imagine, I loved being the youngest and only girl in the family. My brothers Graham (left) and Mason (right) looked out for me growing up; I always knew they had my back.
I'm the youngest in a family of five and my parents' only daughter. My two brothers, 2 and 6 years older than me, were my best friends growing up—I wanted to be just like them and do whatever they did. Thanks to them and Dad, I'm just as much of a tomboy as I am a girly-girl. They're also why I'm more comfortable socializing with groups of guys than with girls.
I participated in Boy Scout activities, Dad was the troop leader, and I hated Girl Scouts because they never went camping, hiking, or shot BB guns or archery (I have my own compound and recurve bows and was the best shot at Boy Scout Camp!). I went lake fishing in the spring and summer, ice fishing in the winter, hunting in the fall, and camping in all seasons.
Clearly I'm a trendsetter—I was a hipster way before it was the cool thing to do.
While we spent virtually every nice weekend and most of the summer doing the outdoor activities previously mentioned, there was still plenty of time for me to do the typical girly things, like play dress up, pretend house and school, and dolls—my brothers' G.I. Joes usually kidnapped Barbie and held her for ransom—and paint my nails.
My entire childhood was spent around creative people, which is why I'm obsessed with DIY. When I was really young and Dad was on deployment in the Navy, Mom made things, like wooden wreaths, and sold them at craft fairs, and quilted; both my grandmothers knit and crochet; Dad used to cross-stitch and is a carpenter. We remodeled our entire house over the course of 5 years—I now have the basic working knowledge to do anything from electric and plumbing and framing rooms to hanging drywall and laying wood flooring.
From a very early age, I was so obsessed with motorcycles that I wanted to get my motorcycle license—I still do. Dad even made me and my brothers a rocking Harley instead of a rocking horse.
Growing up in a creative family, I knew I wanted to have a career in a creative field. I was only in eighth grade when I realized my dream of working in publishing—that was the year I fell in love with grammar. I attended the University of Maine, where I graduated with a bachelor's degree in English and a minor in music. I participated in marching band and pep band and was in the band service sorority. After graduating, I attended New York University's Summer Publishing Institute for Book, Magazine, and Digital Publishing.
I would love to have kids someday in the very, very far future. And hopefully, with everything I learn while at NYMetroParents and experiences from my new city life combined with how I was raised, their childhoods will be as interesting and varied as mine was.
Katelin Walling, a graduate of the University of Maine, is the Managing Editor for NYMetroParents. She can often be found reading, knitting, drinking coffee, or babysitting. She is a member of the frequent buyers clubs at L.L. Bean and Cabela's. See More
