Crutchfield customer from Whittier, CA on 8/4/2019
Definitive Technology makes great speakers. I have recently purchased the 1000 center channel speaker to match my front speakers. I am very pleased with how clear the dialog is and how much the center channel speaker impacts the sound of my system.
Pros: Exceptional quality and great sound.

Crutchfield customer from Greer, SC on 6/2/2019
Customer support was great in helping to find a center channel replacement for my existing system. This speaker was one of the few to meet my size needs to fit on a mantle over a fireplace and under my TV. The dialog is much more crisp and clear than my old JBL S-Center which was a nice upgrade. It does sound a little more boomy than I would like but I have only been using it a couple of weeks. Overall, very happy with this speaker for the price.

Crisp and clear!!
Crutchfield customer from Plover, WI on 4/29/2019
Upgraded to a better center speaker as I was having a hard time hearing dialogue in shows and movies. The ProCenter has a much crisper and clearer sound i didn't realize I was missing. Fit perfectly underneath my tv in the stand. Well worth the purchase.

Crutchfield customer from Noblesville, IN on 3/3/2019
I chose this ProCenter 1000 strictly because it fit in the very narrow opening of my entertainment cabinet. I needed something no taller than 5 3/4" and this fit the space. OK so not the best reason to pick a speaker, however, it also matched the rest of the Definitive Technology surround system and was a must have for that reason as well. I'm happy with the entire system. It's tucked away nicely and sounds great.

Great Product for the Price. Excellent Service.
Terry from Teaneck, NJ on 9/2/2018
I was looking for a reasonably priced center channel speaker for my small basement home theater that could provide improved voice quality and clarity without sacrificing bass, and would compliment my existing system and fit into my existing set up. After discussing my requirements with Crutchfield (Sam) I decided to follow/trust his experience and advice. I am very pleased with my purchase all around, and happy with the improved sound of my HT system. Sounds great even prior to completing recommended break in period.
Pros: Clear voice dialog, dispersion, and surprisingly strong bass. Seamless integration with my current non DT bookshelf speakers with titanium tweeters. Great price. Expert, knowledgeable advice from home theater consultant Sam.
Cons: None. Exceeded my expectations.

Darrell from Marietta, GA on 5/3/2018
Very nice sound for small center. Needed small form factor for my setup. Tweak it nicely through my Denon receiver to compliment my Klipsch front speakers. No it's not ideal to have mixed brands but I think it sounds amazing after a manually tweaking setup with receiver. Couldn't be happier with movie soundtrack dialogue clarity, balance . Highly recommend.
Pros: All good
Cons: None

Great sound for small size, fits in my cabinet. Procenter 2000 would have rubbed the radiators on the side. Tweeters are a bit brighter than the soft domes in my mains, but doesn't distract during music or movies. Set up with 80hz crossover, not a bass monster, but also not fully broken in yet.

Great Speaker
Andrew from Center Valley, PA on 12/30/2017
Great speaker and perfect center for my 5.1.2 system. Not an audiophile or guru by any means, however, I listen to a very wide range of music and watch lots of movies. This is paired with Klipsh R-15 book shelf speakers in the front and 4 Sonance In-Ceiling speakers for the rear and atmos channels. The whole package is impressive to say the least! The Def Tech center does not overpower the others and is also not overpowered. Perfect balance between voices and "environmental" sounds during movies. Considered a 4 Star rating, only because of difficulties of mounting the speaker. Typical center channel speaker mounts handle a "spread" between the threaded inserts of up to ~9.5 inches. The spacing on this speaker is more like 12". My solution was to use a pair of Sanus WMS3 mounts. One on each side and mounted independently to the ceiling (pictures). However, this meant that I had to add extra blocking in the ceiling to allow for a sturdy mount. If a single mount could be used, alignment could be modified to hit a joist. Solid, Sturdy Speaker, Great Construction, Perfect Compliment to Other Speakers in Home Theater Setup.
Pros: Construction, Price (sale), Power, Phenomenal Sound
Cons: No Center Mount Option

Mike from Dagsboro, DE on 8/20/2017
Great center speaker. Full sound for its size. I wanted white to match the decor and I would've wanted something with bigger woofers but had limited options. No regrets. The crutchfield service is next to none in the days of impersonal online shopping. So I always call just for that and I usually will price match.
Pros: Size. Color options. Full crisp sound

Good quality center channel
Don from Berlin, CT on 12/5/2016
Decent sound for the size and price point. Bought these for my brother's TV room for front and rear speakers. I roll with three center channel 2000's for my front L,C,R channels and two 1000's for the surround/rear. Overall, I am pleased and so is he.
Pros: good sound for price point

ProCenter 1000
jmath from Reedsburg, WI on 10/5/2016
I replaced 28 year old Polk S4 with the ProMonitor system, 2 - 1000 front speakers, 1 ProCenter 1000, & 2 - ProMonitor 800's. The ProCenter 1000 easily fits under the setup I have for my television. This speaker is smaller than what it replaced, yet the sound is fuller. The frequency response is wider than what I had, lower and higher than what I had. This enables clearer voice in the ProLogic mode. I have also used them in 7 channel stereo mode (mostly for breaking them in) and found they help fill the smaller living room with sound very well. The Crutchfield customer service spent about 30 minutes helping me sort through speakers that would match my requirements, very helpful
Pros: Full sound, wide frequency response. Voice comes through clear and easy to understand. Footprint is small enough to fit many situations.
Cons: Plastic cases shows scratches easily. Wire lugs are recessed and difficult to use if banana jacks are not used.

Crutchfield recommended the perfect choice.
Sean from Georgia on 10/4/2016
This speaker sounds great. It says it takes 30 days to "break in" and will apparently sound better, but I don't know how as it is great now. It is so little but it is amazingly better than a huge center speaker I'm replacing that is 10 times the size. I always have trouble making out the words but haven't had a problem with this speaker. I can't imagine what a larger or more expensive speaker would do as this works great.
Pros: Sounds Great Fits in tight spots
Cons: None.

Slightly hard of hearing or missing movie dialog?
Gary from Carterville, IL on 7/18/2016
This speaker is dynamic for it's size. When I received it, my first thoughts were, this will never do. I have some background noise (an aquarium pump) behind my viewing area. I was having difficulty hearing movie dialog with my previous center channel speaker. I hooked this one up and to my surprise it really helped with the dialog, I even had to turn my volume down from my previous setting when I connected it. As advised by Crutchfield, the metal tweeter would and did make a huge difference over a fiber one.
Pros: This is a great center channel speaker for it's size, especially if you don't have a lot of room under your TV, and will more than do it's job for an average size room. You will notice a difference in movie dialog over a fiber tweeter immediately.
Cons: The speaker itself has no cons, but my wife likes to listen to satellite radio as she cleans throughout the house. She said she wanted something that she could hear while cleaning in other rooms without blasting everyone out.. A more expensive center channel with a horn is probably the answer to solve that problem.

Cons: Zip

Full sound and full service
Fox from White Plains, NY on 5/24/2016
Great sound from a small center speaker. Kevin was a great help in selecting a center speaker and subwoofer that fit the space I had, played nicely with my other components (marantz AV and Infinity speakers), and delivered the sound improvements I wanted. Why waste time going to a stereo showroom (if you can find a decent one), when you can try something in your own home for 60 days? And the folks at Crutchfield are right about listening for a week before making a final decision; the speaker sounds even better after a week of use.
Pros: Small size, but full sound. Fits into a 5" high shelf. Simple to install and connect. Big improvement to my audio to have a center speaker.
Cons: Speaker does truly sound better after a break-in period (4-5 days or so). The sounds was very good from the start, but is truly better a week later. Don't make a hasty final judgement.

fantastic sound, tiny work area problem
superjim-super64 from Lebanon, TN on 5/3/2016
The sound is fantastic...But the area where the cable posts are is not much bigger than a couple of matchboxes and recessed. Nether me nor my wife could get our short, stubby fingers in there to attach the speaker cables. It must have been designed for someone with fingers like needle nosed plyers. It took us half an hour to get the cables attached to the posts. A half hour! But then, the sound was perfect. Dialogue that had been muddy in films was now crystal clear. Perfect sound, highly recommended as the reviews on the Crutchfield site said. Great value for the price, unless you have short stubby fingers.
Pros: Perfect sound, could not be happier with what the 1000 does.
Cons: Poorly designed cable post hookup area! I do not see how the company could let a design like this go out!

Great for dialog
John from VT on 3/27/2016
Very compact and nicely built. It works very well for dialog enhancement but does not blend well with other speakers so I would recommend changing your receiver setting to 'no center channel' for critical listening.
Pros: Size, build quality, dialog enhancement for video sources.
Cons: Sound quality not compatible with most hi-fi speakers.

Great compact center speaker; great service
Ryan in NV from Nevada on 1/4/2016
Pretty darn good sound especially in such a small package, which I needed in order to fit a good center speaker between my TV and mantle. Crutchfield was great with the recommendation, even when I called to inquire about a speaker at twice the cost which Levi said wouldn't perform as well in my situation. I love having the trust and faith in Crutchfield to get what I need, not what costs more!
Pros: Size, sound quality. Balanced well with sound from my Infinity Alpha floor towers, too.
Cons: None that I've found. It's not a long speaker, though, so it looks a little puny sitting up there underneath my 65" flatscreen.

Excellent Center Speaker
daa from California on 9/25/2015
I bought the Mirage Nanosat system a few years back and always had a feeling the center speaker could be better. I finally asked Crutchfield what they recommended and they suggested the ProCenter 1000. I'm so glad I followed their recommendation. Before, the dialogue in movies always seemed drowned out. With the ProCenter 1000 the difference is like night and day. This is an excellent speaker and I definitely recommend it.

Great for small room surround systems
Rick H from apollo Beach Fl on 8/27/2014
My "man cave" is pretty small----11'x11' and I needed an up-grade for my center channel speaker. Since that speaker sits in front of my TV, it couldnt be too tall. This unit really meets all my requirements. It sounds great, whether it's watching a blu-ray movie or listening to music. I dont know if it would be powerful enough to work well in a large room for surround sound but I think it just might. Before you spend $300+ for a center channel speaker, check this baby out. I think it's rated for up to 200 watts.
Pros: Great sound, low profile
Cons: none so far

sexy in white !
stubert from topanga, ca on 4/12/2014
i bought this because of reviews and more Importantly the size ! sounds like a stupid comment, but i have a built in shelf above tv, that is narrow and not very deep. the dimensions of this speaker fitted perfectly, also because the shelf was white, the fact that it came in white, was huge bonus.apart from all that, i wanted some thing that would perform well, with my NHT front speakers and onkyo receiver, the reviews were good, so i went with this model. like the sound so far and apparently after break in period it will sound even better. ( can't wait ).
Pros: great look and sound
Cons: not sure yet (:

DefTech ProCenter 1000
Crutchfield customer from Texas on 4/9/2014
I purchased a new home and left my speaker system in my old house (ProCenter 1000, (4) ProMonitor 800's) and did not hesitate to repurchase the same system even though my new house has a larger family room. The system actually sounds better due to the spacing of the speakers I was able to achieve in the new home even thought the room is 40% larger. My center channel is a bit lower and ther R/L/surrounds are higher and wider providing better separation. Additionally, I designed and built a custom mantle around my fireplace that embeds the ProCenter 1000 in the middle, so size was also a consideration.
Pros: Great size from a small speker; available in white.
Cons: None.

Good Sound
HumboldtRick from Eureka, CA on 4/2/2014
I got the ProCinema 1000 system and it sounds really good. I just got the system set up, and they sound pretty good already. I'm running a Pioneer SC-1222-K digital amp (120W per channel @ 8 ohms). There's a lot to learn with this system, and there's still some adjusting to do, but I'm really satisfied with the sonic reproduction so far. For the record, I've been completely hooked on the sound of my Denon PMA-777 and KEF 104/2 with Kube for 30 years and have never found anything that sounds as sweet, and that includes this system. That being said, this is one of the best sounding 5.1 speaker systems I've heard. The 1000 is sufficient for my small room; I'm sure the 2000 is also great if you need it.
Pros: Sound great Look good
Cons: Inset wire posts make it hard to use bare wires, banana plugs are a must Shiny black finish collects dust (OK, that's more because I live in a rural setting, and everything's dusty!)

I used the reviews posted for this product choice and couldn't be more happy with the install. This center channel is driven by a Denon AVR 1613. Adding this center channel has improved the video and audio experience tremendously. highly recommended.
Pros: easy set up, arrived from Crutchfield with no damage.
Cons: none

Matched well with other DT speakers
Steve from Houston, TX on 10/31/2013
Very satisfied. This center speaker matched very well with my BP7006 towers and 450 Studio monitors acting as surrounds. This center channel completes this A/V setup. Cosmetics are nice too. Arrived quickly and well packaged by DT & Crutchfield. Couldn't be happier.
Pros: excellent quality, reasonable price.
Cons: none

Great Center Speaker
Killerjimbo from Reading, Pa on 9/26/2013
I'm one of those guys who is hard to satisfy. I try many different products until I am satisfied that I have found the very best that my budget will buy. Well, after trying probably seven different sound bars including a $2000 job I decided to go back to a receiver and separate speakers. This is the third set of separates I am trying and these will be my last. My previous set was the Polk Blackstone TL3's and they were very good. Nothing bad at all to say about them but I thought I could do better. These Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000's along with the ProCenter 1000, I believe are the best that I could get for the money and much more. The size is perfect for my set-up. For my ears these speakers WOW me whether it's music, movies or TV. I am so pleased and happy that I gave these speakers a try.
Pros: Clear voice/dialog
Cons: None

great as a surround speaker
B Hansen from Dallas on 4/22/2013
I am using 2 ProCenter 1000s as surround speakers in a media room. Since the surround speakers were going to be mounted on the wall, I needed the speakers to be white and I wanted to speakers to match other DefTech speakers. I am using the ProCenter 1000s with StudioMonitor fronts and the balance is great. Movies, music and basic TV programs all sound terrific. I was also impressed with how the ProCenter 1000s kept up with the larger front speakers at high volume levels.
Pros: plays well with larger DefTech speakers, available in white

Unbelievable Sound and Value
drtheel from greenville sc on 3/26/2013

Pros: Powerful accurate
Cons: Not enough time to enjoy it

Good Quality
BobK from West Michigan on 1/11/2013
I bought this as a space saver. I placed it in front of my 46" Samsung, but it blocked the bottom of the screen about an inch. I needed to build a platform to raise my TV, and I really wanted a little more of a warmer sound than these speakers would offer so I exchanged them for the 2000 model with no hassle. My platform on the stand needed to be 2 " high. Also I added an oak board to the back of the stand. Now, it is at ear level and the sound is much warmer. It works great.
Pros: Small, Good Quality, Great Service at Crutchfield.
Cons: Sound not warm enough.

Great Choice
Damitched from Robesonia, PA on 12/29/2012
It NEVER is on sale so don't wait for this superb choice for a center channel speaker. The sound quality blows me away. Great highs, lows, and everything in between. I waited for a scratch and dent but I think open box returns and scratch and dent are hard to come by. I am very critical of my sound system and all I can say is WOW!! The details of every voice and note are right there, no question about it. It is the perfect size for an entertainment cabinet. This was my first Definitive Technology speaker purchase and I will surely trust them with future purchases. I did the research and would not have spent the money unless it was 100 percent true what others have said about how truly great this center channel performs. Yes, there are less expensive speakers, but worth every penny for what this one delivers.
Pros: FANTASTIC dynamic range, PERFECT size, EASY hookup, HANDSOME appearance, GREAT quality.
Cons: None

ProCenter 1000
napleskid from Louisville on 12/15/2012
I purchased this speaker to replace the center speaker of my KEF wall mounted 5.1 system. The center speaker is the most important speaker in a home theater system, and the KEF did not have the depth of range I desired. The Def Tech 1000 is the perfect companion to the rest of my KEF system. I chose the 1000 because of my size restriction. I don't feel I sacrificed much from what a larger center speaker would have provided. I was pleasantly surprised how good this speaker looks as well, the cabinet is very attractive. Considering the sound delivered and the low price, the ProCenter 1000 is a 10.
Pros: Sound, compact size, attractive cabinet, reasonable price

Great Def Techs
Coxx110 from Las Vegas NV on 11/29/2012
This completed my Def Tech masterpiece. I'm running a 7.1 system but for some reason my center channel was the last thing I ordered. Once setup, my house absolutely shook with base and crisp clean highs. I can not believe what a difference the smallest piece of my sound system makes.
Pros: Everything
Cons: None

Tiny But Tough!
BrianM from Libertyville,IL on 9/17/2012
I chose this speaker because of space limitations in my surround system.It is an excellent center channel provided you have a high quality subwoofer to roll off everything below 75-100 hz.
Pros: Small size and excellent midrange and treble response.
Cons: none

Excellent Center Channel
Larry C from Pittsburgh, Pa on 5/29/2012
I have tried and used about 10 Center Channels in my lifetime and needed a small Center Channel that would have high power handling and would play down to at least 50HZ. I ordered the Definative Pro Center 1000. It met every expectation I was hoping for. High power handling and clean sound. I have Dynaudio for the rest of my speakers along with Appo, Parasound and Octave Tube Amp for Front Stage.For the money, nothing touches this speaker. If I had room I would get one with a powered sub but it won't fit proplerly. The Fit and Finish is superb and can play with the best of audiophile speakers. I am totally satisfied with Definative Products as well as Crutchfield Customer Service. Best Regards Larry C. Pittsburgh , Pa
Pros: High Power Handling, Clean and will go down to 45hz or so .
Cons: Can't think of any Cons

Excellant full sound
Guest from Stuart, Florida on 4/1/2011
I replaced an Infinity center channel speakers from an Infinity surround sound speaker system. The satellite speaker were fine and so was the sub-woofer. I needed a good center channel to give the system a full body sound for dialogue. The Definitive Tech Pro 1000 has more than accomplished this. The dialogue from films is now very robust. I recommend this speaker for anyone who needs better center channel voice and richer mids

Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000
WarrenD from San Francisco, CA on 3/31/2011
Wow, o'wow, what a sound from such a little but heavy box. When i received the unit, i installed it in ten minutes and replace my mini-Bose center speaker and what a BIG difference in sound quality and volume. i put on a adventure movie that had great sound effects and could not believe my ears. For multiple years, i have been underating the sound qualities of movies and action shows on my sound system and should have upgraded years ago. The service from Crutchfield was great as i was waiting for the last component (sound wires) to shipped and was not aware of its delivery that evening until i read an email on my blackberry telling me that it had arrived on my front porch. if it were not for the great service notification system that Crutchfield possess, the last order would be sitting at my front door over the weekend.

Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000
Mark S from Margate, FL on 1/20/2011
I purchased the Onkyo TX-NR808 along with Definitive speakers and it sounds great. I have a wall unit with my 50" Samsung flat screen. My couch backs right up to a wall and it prevented me from installing speakers behind it and my wife did not think it would look good to have satellite speakers on the wall behind left and right of the couch. In fact, she refused to let me install the satellites no matter how small and she said the only way I could do it is to install them in the ceiling so no body could see them. "Light Bulb" went off, great Idea. I purchased Definitive ProMonitor 800s for each side of the TV, ProCenter 1000, ProSub1000, and 3 DI 4.5 ceiling speakers to create 6.1 sound. The speakers are mounted approx 12' above the couch and I could not ask for better sound. The perfect setup!

Good Value
Donald from Houston, TX on 11/1/2009
Gets five stars for good sound at this price. This speaker delivers good sound at a great price. I employ it as the center speaker in a surround sound system in a 17 ft deep by 15 feet wide room with 9 ft ceilings. My opinion is that it would also work in rooms larger than this. Does a great job of anchoring the center sound. Sound quality is good, not great. But for the money it delivers. Tone is biased to mid-range and bass. Construction is excellent. Has a center screw foot in the bottom back allowing the speaker to be tilted forward if the speaker is on a high shelf. This is how I have it installed. Also has two threaded mounting inserts for wall mounting. I got the white model.

Nick from Atlanta, GA on 7/31/2009
Definitive Technology speakers are critically acclaimed for their value and performance. I'm so glad Crutchfield now carries their line. Check out the reviews yourself online and you'll see. Buy this speaker, you won't be disappointed! For the money, you can't beat it. These will outperform any Polk, Klipsch, Mirage, and Infinity speakers in their price range...easy!

LXX FXXX Hard to "work together" when the final objectives for each [Party] are polar opposites. One is based on what you received is based on production, the other based solely on your need. The former is dependent upon the latter, why kill the goose? Socialist ideas do nothing to create more but only justify why others should receive more of what they don't themselves produce.
Brian Wilson I dunno about "polar opposites". All governments and - isms exist to dominate, enslave and force "citizens" into some form of pre-determined existence solely to serve the State. However, accomplished economically is academic. In the end, you pay and obey. That ain't Freedom.
DXXX TXXXX Brian Wilson Where do we start?
Brian Wilson I'll get back to you on that when I have more time and space!
OK – In response to my post "All governments and - isms exist to dominate, enslave and force "citizens" into some form of pre-determined existence solely to serve the State… In the end, you pay and obey. That ain't Freedom."
DT asked the question "Where do we start".
We start by stopping.
Stop believing in and supporting the myths, fairy tails, distortions and lies accepted without question, on faith, by rote, in denial of actual facts committed right in front of us, regardless of who we are, where we were raised or how.
The problems with Government cannot be solved by More Government!
Stop voting. It accomplishes nothing more than perpetuating the same system that's eating us alive, our loved ones and our inalienable rights. Politicians lie. Those who don't lie don't get elected. If by some glitch they get into office, they accomplish nothing and are out in the next cycle. Any objective analysis of voting will reveal: Life, Liberty and the Individual pursuit of Happiness have never been advanced as a result, regardless of what person or which Party won. Voting is merely an expensive popularity contest for those who still believe in Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.
Stop supporting legislation. Every law that actually gets passed is another bite out of Freedom. Just because it bites someone or some entity you despise is irrelevant. According to the cliché: "Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug." but at no time is Freedom advanced.
Stop believing in the miracle of a 3rd Party or Immaculately Conceived Candidates. The first never have and never will win any significant position in any respectable number to permanently benefit Freedom; the second has never and will never exist.
Stop supporting Secession. Yes, it's a tantalizing notion. But even if perfectly Constitutional by any means or statute, the Leviathan in the DC Swamp will never permit it without a repeat of the bloodshed and carnage produced the last time it was tried. Even if successful, the cost in Blood and Treasure would be incalculable. Only if unilaterally pursued by a majority of States might there be any marginal hope for a peaceful success? Whether such unanimity could even be accomplished in our politically fractured country today would be pragmatically impossible.
That leaves Revolution. But what kind? There are all sorts of "revolutions", from bloody and expensive to a silent coup such as the one recently attempted - and nearly successful - here. Regardless of version, all Revolutions require at least one thing: a compelling leader – or leaders – to unite sufficient numbers in principled support of the Cause.
It is not irrational to state: America is at a tipping point, rapidly running out of the time, patience or, most importantly, the political motivation to craft a workable solution to return to a reasonable basis for governance. The polarization of the two parties tasked with accomplishing this makes the conclusion obvious before beginning. Rising racial hostilities, a tiered, dysfunctional legal system that coddles the Powerful while crushing the Little Guy; government 'injustices for all', fermented in envy, ignorance and instant gratification, distilled, refined and distributed by a biased, unprincipled media blinded by its own power to influence irrespective of truth, balance and integrity.
Where do we start? Find Leaders dedicated to restoring Freedom and Liberty with the guts to accomplish it by any means. The caveat: not only will it be difficult to find and call out such individuals, but the effort itself is also dangerous. The Patriot Act and other laws provide cover for Government prefects to move swiftly, without legal accountability, against anyone fomenting plans to overthrow our current "form of Government".
Our Declaration of Independence plainly stipulates "…that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…" (emphasis added) As Stephen Lucas' annotation states, this clause "outlines a general philosophy of government that justifies revolution when government harms natural rights."
Sadly, the Statist mindset or, at minimum, Cognizant Dissonance is firmly set in the minds of too many Americans. Any suggestion of "altering or abolishing" this corrupted Government acting destructively toward our inalienable rights is most likely to evoke gasps or horror and fear rather than resolution, courage, and initiative – beyond snarky Facebook comments anyway.
We "start" with ourselves measuring our own resolution. If sufficient, we seek out like-minded individuals amongst ourselves. An "idea whose time has come" is purported to be among the strongest forces in the Universe, compelling beyond resistance. If one agrees that Idea's time has indeed arrived, we start by acting accordingly.
If not, stay in the hand basket and enjoy what's left of the ride.

Important Facts to Note about Mold Damage
2/15/2019 (Permalink)
How To Prevent Mold Growth
Mold growing in your home can be very detrimental to your health. For some people, mold can cause trouble with breathing, fatigue, stomach problems, and more. It is important to do everything that you can to prevent mold growth. Left untreated, mold will spread throughout your entire home. Not only could this cause health problems, it will also cause a smell throughout your entire home.
You will need to do all that you can do in your home to prevent mold. One of the best things that you can do is to periodically inspect your home for any moisture issues. Leaking roofs, and leaking pipes can quickly cause mold in your home. In some cases, you may overlook the issue until it is a much larger problem. If you have a storm in the Tangipahoa Parish area, go through your home and look at the entire ceiling. If you see any dark colored spots in your home, it is time to have someone come out and check for mold.
If you do see any mold in your home, you will want to make sure that you call a professional company to remove it immediately. While you can remove it from your home yourself, the truth of the matter is that if you miss just one mold spore, it will regrow and infect your home again. Left untreated, these mold spores can go all over your house. You may have to leave your home while it is being treated. If you see any mold in your home, call SERVPRO of Hammond immediately. They will be able to help you to properly remediate the mold in your home. They will inspect every aspect of your home to determine where the mold damage originated from. They will help you to make plans on having that area repaired. Call SERVPRO of Hammond today for all your mold remediation needs.

Wicked Local – The town has spent the past two weeks compiling and collecting documents for an investigation by the state Inspector General's office.
While it is a nuisance for town officials, they aren't alarmed. The actual investigation (or review) is of Cape Light Compact (it dates to 2012) and deals with concerns from the Barnstable Assembly of Delegates about conflicts of interest, financial disclosure, transparency and other issues. Attorney General Martha Coakley's office has also maintained the "operational adder" attached to the electric bill of the Compact's 141,000 customers on Cape Cod is a tax, not a fee and thus illegally imposed on residents.
I have to admit, it's news to me that utility companies can't just charge you whatever the hell they want. It seems like every time you get a bill there is some new charge. Service charges, adjustment charges, delivery charges…
Seriously, delivery charges for electricity? Are there people who go pick up their electricity at the plant and bring it home in the trunk of their car? Shouldn't delivery charges be implied? And what is the delivery charge for exactly, gas? What are you Domino's? You're not delivering my electricity in a fucking Honda Accord with a muffler that makes it sound like a moped and a huge fin on the back.
The big question is if Martha Coakley is going after utilities, how about Comcast? They are the cream of the crop when it comes to not having any idea why your bill is 12 million extra dollars this month. My cable bill has a line called "other charges". What in the hell is that? We don't put up with shit like that from anyone else. Imagine if your grocery bill had "other charges" on it? Hey Comcast, your bill is sixteen pages long, how about a short description on what the "other charges" are?
P.S. Unless it's for "Backdoor Midget Zombies III", let's go ahead and leave it the way it is if that's the case.Facebook: The Real Cape

So at a friend's house the other day this familiar seeming song came up on his record player:
That's jazz pianist and composer Dave Brubeck performing up there, and in case you don't get the reference, here's the original, 1944 movie musical version:
It's coming back to you know, right? That's Judy Garland in Meet me in St. Louis, obviously. I thought it was so charming that something from the (admittedly pretty campy) movie musical world would go on to the jazz world, but upon reflection it's not a rare occurrence at all!
Just one other example, Charlie Parker performing Gershwin. I guess the Trolley Song just seemed strangely… specific?

A new stage version of Truman Capote's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is aiming for Broadway, with "Game of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke expected to play Holly Golightly. The last attempt to bring "Breakfast" to Broadway, more than 40 years ago, became the stuff of theater legend -- but not in a good way.
The ill-fated 1966 musical stage adaptation, starring a young Mary Tyler Moore, is one of the most famous flops in Broadway history. The production closed before it even officially opened, running for only four preview performances at New York's Majestic Theatre.
Producer David Merrick famously explained that he didn't want to subject anyone to an "excruciating, boring evening." The musical, which also went by the name "Holly Golightly," featured a book by Edward Albee, who was hot off of "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" The songs were by "Funny Girl" composer Bob Merrill.
The new stage adaptation, which is aiming for a February opening on Broadway, will be a play, not a musical. Prolific playwright Richard Greenberg has adapted the Capote novella for the stage.
"Breakfast" was published in 1958 and in 1961 was turned into a hit movie starring Audrey Hepburn. The story follows the somewhat amoral adventures of a young New York socialite.
Sean Mathias is expected to direct the new stage adaptation.
Richard Greenberg and SCR, together again
Holland Taylor to perform "Ann" on Broadway
"Rebecca" on Broadway mired in confusion, apparently canceled

First, Salon.com's Joan Walsh: now, Tea Party's Michele Bachmann. Are women being the butts of politician's sexist remarks still "funny" to Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace? Seemingly, so. In his promo for his show on Fox & Friends, Chris immediately sided with Democratic Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter who condescendingly told Republican Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann to "don't interrupt me" and to "act like a lady" (Wedneday on Dom Giordano's Radio Show).
Apparently, Wallace was so amused that he began his segment, jesting, "I want to make this clear right from the start: Brian, I'm going to treat you like a lady, and I expect you to act like one."* F&F co-anchor Brian Kilmeade replied, "I just hope you treat me a little bit better than Arlen Specter treated Congressman Michele Bachman….Was that the angriest you have heard him?" Wallace answered, "No….You know, he's cantankerous and that's just part of his personality. But, again, I'm treating you like a lady: act like a lady, Brian."
Meanwhile, grimacing agitatedly and clearly unamused, co-host Gretchen Carlson exclaimed, "Hey, but, come on, Chris! Yeah, but there's a difference between being cantankerous and being sexist." She continued, "Do you think that he would do that same exact behavior to you: he would use a derogatory term like "act like a gentleman," Chris. Dismissively, Chris smirked, "He's never said to me, 'Act like a lady,' but he's stuck it to me a couple of times. Yeah." As the boys on the curvy couch chuckled, Gretchen insisted, "You know what I'm getting at."
Then, for the audience's benefit, Gretchen had the producers air the actual audio of Specter lecturing Bachmann on a proper lady's role. When the recording had run, Brian asked, "That's going to come back to haunt him. Don't you think, Chris?" Chris responded, "I got to say, I find it kinda funny."
For some, it might seem "kinda funny" since it came at conservative Bachmann's expense. However, they may well remember that Wallace found "pretty funny" a similar remark about liberal Joan Walsh, Salon.com's editor in chief, by Dick Armey less than a year ago (January 28, 2009) on Mike Gallagher's radio show. In that instance, when Gallagher asked Wallace about feminists being very angry that Armey had said, "I'm glad you [Joan Walsh] couldn't be my wife," Wallace replied, "It's pretty funny actually." (For the full import, Armey's full quote was "I'm so damn glad that you can never be my wife because I surely wouldn't have to listen to that prattle from you every day.")
Sexism still funny in 2010? Yow!

As North America's west coast is still shaking as a result of a large magnitude 7.7 earthquake and daunting tsunami, which fortunately did not rise to geologist predicted levels of danger, east coast residents are about to receive quite an unfriendly visit from Tropical Cyclone Sandy, which has transitioned into a terrifying unpredictable crossbreed; a kind of super-storm. Sandy is being energized not only by warm ocean water that fuels tropical cyclones, it is also intensifying and becoming more massive due to difference in air masses between cooler and drier air to the north and west and the very moist air mass to the south and east. And if that is not enough to cause panic, atmospheric energy from the jet stream that is steering Sandy is helping to intensify this monster storm. By the way, that's exactly what jet streams do. You see, jet streams steer cyclonic storm systems at lower levels in the atmosphere, and so knowledge of their course has become an important part of weather forecasting.
These conditions mean that Sandy is a well-constructed built for maximum damage.
It would not be wise to just focus on the center of the tropical cyclone. The strongest winds may be far away from the center which is very different from a regular hurricane whose strongest winds are right around the eye-wall.
The other incredible thing about this storm is the fact that all computer models have the storm making a left turn bringing it into the New Jersey coastline. Power outages will be massive along with some structural damage due to the strong winds.
Coastal flooding, beach erosion, and flooding rains will be huge problems from the North Carolina coast up through New England.
Inland areas are going to experience damaging high winds and flooding. I just heard that the latest update has the pressure dropping to 951 millibars, which is an incredible barometric pressure.
For those in Hampton Roads, it is expected that the winds will be slowly increasing into Monday. Rainfall will be heavy at times. Coastal flooding will be an issue also.
It's hard to say where the heaviest rain will be, but some areas may be seeing very heavy rainfall amounts.
It should now be clear, that we're dealing with a very different kind of story with tendencies that make it somewhat unpredictable. In reality, it's not merely a tropical storm or hurricane. Don't get fixated on a particular track. Wherever it hits, the mammoth storm slowly moving up the East Coast will afflict a third of the country with sheets of rain, high winds and heavy snow, say officials who warned millions in coastal areas to get out of the way.
"We're looking at impact of greater than 50 to 60 million people," said Louis Uccellini, head of environmental prediction for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
As Hurricane Sandy trekked north from the Caribbean — where it left nearly five dozen dead — to meet two other powerful winter storms, experts said it didn't matter how strong the storm was when it hit land: The rare crossbreed storm that follows will cause havoc over 800 miles from the East Coast to the Great Lakes.
Governors from North Carolina, where steady rains were whipped by gusting winds Saturday night, to Connecticut declared states of emergency. Delaware ordered mandatory evacuations for coastal communities by 8 p.m. Sunday.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who was criticized for not interrupting a vacation in Florida while a snowstorm pummeled the state in 2010, broke off campaigning for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in North Carolina on Friday to return home.
"I can be as cynical as anyone," said Christie, who declared a state of emergency Saturday. "But when the storm comes, if it's as bad as they're predicting, you're going to wish you weren't as cynical as you otherwise might have been."
Eighty-five-year-old former sailor Ray Leonard agreed. And he knows to heed warnings.
Leonard and two crewmates in his 32-foot sailboat, Satori, rode out 1991's infamous "perfect storm," made famous by the Sebastian Junger best-selling book of the same name, before being plucked from the Atlantic off Martha's Vineyard, Mass., by a Coast Guard helicopter.
"Don't be rash," Leonard said Saturday from his home in Fort Myers, Fla. "Because if this does hit, you're going to lose all those little things you've spent the last 20 years feeling good about."
Sandy weakened briefly to a tropical storm Saturday but was soon back up to Category 1 strength, packing 75 mph winds. It was about 260 miles (420 kilometers) south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C., and moving northeast at 13 mph as of 5 a.m. Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The storm was expected to continue moving parallel to the Southeast coast most of the day and approach the coast of the mid-Atlantic states by Monday night, before reaching southern New England later in the week.
It was so big, however, and the convergence of the three storms so rare, that "we just can't pinpoint who is going to get the worst of it," said Rick Knabb, director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Officials are particularly worried about the possibility of subway flooding in New York City, said Uccellini, of NOAA.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to prepare to shut the city's subways, buses and suburban trains. The city closed the subways before Hurricane Irene last year, and a Columbia University study predicted that an Irene surge just 1 foot higher would have paralyzed lower Manhattan.
Up and down the Eastern Seaboard and far inland, officials urged residents and businesses to prepare in ways big and small.
On Saturday evening, Amtrak began canceling train service to parts of the East Coast, including between Washington, D.C., and New York. Airlines started moving planes out of airports to avoid damage and adding Sunday flights out of New York and Washington in preparation for flight cancellations on Monday.
The Virginia National Guard was authorized to call up to 500 troops to active duty for debris removal and road-clearing, while homeowners stacked sandbags at their front doors in coastal towns.
"You never want to be too naive, but ultimately, it's not in our hands anyway," said Andrew Ferencsik, 31, as he purchased plywood and 2-by-4 lumber from a Home Depot in Lewes, Del.
Utility officials warned rains could saturate the ground, causing trees to topple into power lines, and told residents to prepare for several days at home without power.
President Barack Obama was monitoring the storm and working with state and locals governments to make sure they get the resources needed to prepare, administration officials said.
In North Carolina's Outer Banks, a group of about 20 people was forced to wait out the storm on Portsmouth Island, a former fishing village that is now uninhabited and accessible only by private ferry.
"We tried to get off the island and the ferry service shut down on us," said Bill Rowley, 49, of Rocky Mount, N.C.
Rowley said he could see 15-foot seas breaking over the island's dunes, enough to bring water to the island's interior. "We'll be inundated and it'll probably be worse tomorrow," he said.
In New Jersey, hundreds of coastal residents started moving inland. Christie's emergency declaration will force the shutdown of Atlantic City's 12 casinos for only the fourth time in the 34-year history of legalized gambling here. City officials said they would begin evacuating the gambling hub's 30,000 residents at noon Sunday, busing them to mainland shelters and schools.
The storm also forced the presidential campaign to juggle schedules. Romney scrapped plans to campaign Sunday in Virginia and switched his schedule for the day to Ohio.
First lady Michelle Obama canceled an appearance in New Hampshire for Tuesday, and Obama moved a planned Monday departure for Florida to Sunday night to beat the storm. He also canceled appearances in Northern Virginia on Monday and Colorado on Tuesday.
That's it for now. Please be safe and monitor the local media and National Weather Service forecasts.

Blow for Arsenal as Koscielny limps out of Bayern clash
Laurent Koscielny has suffered what appears to be a hamstring injury during Arsenal's meeting with Bayern Munich, forcing him to leave the field.
The change came after 49 minutes, with Gabriel Paulista coming on to replace the France international defender.
Benzema passes Henry's goal record
Editors' Picks
And the enforced change did not seem to help matters for the Gunners, with Bayern scoring two without reply inside the 10 minutes after the centre-back was forced off.
The north Londoners have been knocked out at the last 16 stage by the German giants in two of the last four seasons and already appear to be on their way out once again.
Arsene Wenger's side had been level going in at half-time, with Alexis Sanchez cancelling out Arjen Robben's stunning opener.
But Koscielny's withdrawal saw a collapse at the back, with the Gunners undoubtedly hoping that the Frenchman's injury isn't too serious and that he'll be in contention for the second leg.

The world'smost renowned secret agent may have exhibited tough disposition for over 50years, but ever since Ian Fleming first penned his character, 007 hasconsistently shown a soft spot for four things: posh cars, beautiful women, a good drink and luxurious hotels. Even if neck-breaking stunts are not your thing and yougenerally prefer to steer clear of trouble, you can still follow in the MI6 star agent'sfootsteps. Just go get yourself a vacation in one of those fabulous locationsfor the Bond series and at least re-enact some of the most iconic scenes in thebedroom or at the bar. How much do you have to splash out to sleep like JamesBond?
Couples Sans Souci Resort,Ocho Rios, Jamaica- "Dr No"
Jamaica is by all means atthe heart of the Bond story and a real fan of 007 should probably start offright here. Not only did Fleming include the island in the plotlines for severalbooks, but he also wrote the whole collection in his Jamaican estate, perchedon a cliff top about 20 minutes' drive from Ocho Rios. It is here at LaughingWaters beach where Honey Ryder (Ursula Andress) emerges from the surf in that whitebikini and sets the romantic stage for the 22 films to follow.Miss Taro's bungalow, now part of the epicurean Couples Sans Souci Hotel,is a dream getaway designed to put you in that traditionalJamaican 'no worries' (sans souci) state of mind. Mind you, it'scouples-only.
Average rate per night:$450
StokePark Hotel, Stoke Poges, Great Britain – "Goldfinger"
It is notparticularly surprising that Ian Fleming infected his pen-child with his ownpassion for golf, and it is in Goldfinger that James enters his most memorablegame and narrowlyescapes defeat. The Stoke Park mansion with its stupendous course playedhost to the epic duel between 007 and Auric Goldfinger– as usual, an unscrupulous villain and a cheat. Elite sports and etiquette aside,the hotel boasts 49 lavish accommodations and a mind-boggling spa, whose famestretches far beyond the British Isles. An indoorheated swimming pool, deep relaxation room, private atrium with five-meter tropicalaquarium, marble steam rooms and a nail bar would blunt the vigilance of eventhe foxiest Bond heroine.
Lowest rate per night: £200
Fontainebleau Miami Beach Resort, Miami, USA – "Goldfinger"
The moment the camera makesa sweeping aerial shot of the decadent Fontainebleau Hotel in the openingsequence of Goldfinger, we can be sure that James Bond is consistent in hispassion for travelling in big style. The famous curved façade embraces animpressive poolscape, complete with extravagant cabanas, children's waterscapeplay area and comfy sunbeds. Make sure you request a room with either an unobstructed ocean view or a splendid bay panorama, with boats bobbingat the IndianCreek Marina and the lights of South Beachtwinkling in the distance.
Average rate for Ocean View Guestroom: $400
Hotel Palácio Estoril, Estoril, Portugal -"On Her Majesty's Secret Service"
Grand, whitewashed and elegant, HotelPalácio looks like it's had a noble history. But several decades back, in theheat of the Second World War, the place was a hotbed of international espionage,hosting both eminent and infamous figures, among whom Ian Fleming foundinspiration for the good-hearted and most cunning secret agent of them all,Bond… James Bond. And indeed, we got it all in the story: a ubiquitous sense ofsuspicion, stupendous views, the role of a casino and a hotel bar in plotdevelopment, tuxedos, evening dresses and cigarette smoke drifting amidst subdued,spicy conversations. It is here that 007 falls in love for the first time andmarries the enigmatic Contessa Teresa di Vicenzo (who getskilled on their wedding day in a drive-by shooting).
Best available rate for a night's stay: €170
LVH Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, USA – "Diamonds Are Forever"
It was only a matter of time before one of theworld's most famous gamblers landed in the Sin City. The path of intrigue inthe seventh adaptation of the James Bond series leads to Las Vegas and thelargest Hilton hotel in the world (now Las Vegas Hotel andCasino), whose exterior was featured as the Whyte House Hotel. James didnot stay at Hilton in the film (he chose Tropicana), but it is here where he makesa daring climb and tracks the bad guy. By the way, it is also where Demi Mooreblows on Robert Redford's dice in Indecent Proposal. Make sure you request a room overlooking the Strip and take in the sinful glamour, sipping at a martini and chasing villains in your imagination.
Rate for Classic Room with Strip view: approx. $100
ThePeninsula Hong Kong, Hongkong, China – "The Man with the Golden Gun"
With its emphasison chic elegance, guest-focused technology and distinctive luxury, thePeninsula Hong Kong taps into the ultra-posh vibe pulsing through the Bondseries. Despite its cutting-edge status,the hotel is a thriving emblem of Hong Kong's colonial heritage, with afternoontea being served in the lobby between 2 and 6 pm – a traditional accent Mr.Bond would certainly appreciate. Plus the hotel's Rolls Royce fleet featured inthe movie is indeed at your service. Spacious, exquisite suites with majesticVictoria Harbor views, marble-clad bathrooms and corner bathtubs overlookingthe city are only some of the luxuries than the Peninsula Hong Kong unfolds tohelp you get into 007's shoes. And if you really want to get a taste of life spystyle, request the hotel's private helicopter to take you from the airport to the rooftoplanding pad.
Rate for Grand Deluxe Harbor View Room: approx. $1000
HotelCala di Vo
lpe, Sardinia – "The Spy Who Loved Me"
HotelCala di Volpe is truly one of a kind and you'll have to pay through the nosefor this uniqueness. But if you're planning to anchor in the Costa Smeralda, money is clearly noobject, so why not make the best of your stay. The fabulous design inspired by old fishing villages, with handcrafted furniture, archways, porticoes and turrets, stained glass, white stuccoand terracotta shades, but at the same time with a modern feel and focus on exquisitecomfort, is worth even inconsiderate spending. And if you add the luxury of theglittering Mediterranean backdrop, any remnants of remorse are gone. Not much has changed since 1977 when the whitewashed piano bar served as007's suite. Today the hotel is still a playground for the bold and thebeautiful – football players, supermodels and Hollywood crème de la crème.
Deluxe suite with private terrace: € 810
Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur, India- "Octopussy"
Justone glance at the stupendous Taj Lake Palace is enough to understand why the Bond production crew decided touse it as the headquarters of a villain. The luxurious hotel appears tofloat on the surface of Lake Pichola like an enormous water lily that temptswith its beauty but at the same time disheartens with its inaccessibility.Inside, classic Indian architecture, stained glass windows, antique wooden decorations,suites with breathtaking mountain views and exclusive butler service are all set to giveyou not only a taste of life Bond style, but also some truly royal pampering befittinga maharaja.
Luxury twin room: approx. $650
Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico,Mexico City, Mexico – "Licence to Kill"
Bond's on a heart-throbbing mission again – a personalvendetta outside MI6's authority. Devoid of his 00 status and his license tokill, he sets off on the hunt for a merciless drug baron, plays on both sides of the law,survives a ferocious boat chase and a hectic confrontation in the desert, stealsan airplane and rejects the advances of a beautiful woman. Quite a lot for oneman. In the meantime, he manages to drop by the exuberant Gran Hotel Ciudad deMexico, whose stained glass Tiffany roof makes the building a true pearl ofMexican architecture and perfectly taps into Bond's luxurious taste.
Economy Queen Room: $180
One&Only Ocean Club, Bahamas – "CasinoRoyale"
In an attempt to shatter an internationalterrorist organization, 007 heads to the Bahamas and to the heavenly One&Only Ocean Club, thus following the crew'stradition of only using the biggest, best and most spectacular locales forfilming. This luxurious resort with 105 spacious rooms, apartments and villasstretching along the coast is a perfect setting for a romantic stay (hopefullya little more successful than Bond's, who is forced to leave his adorablecompanion with champagne and caviar, yet alone). Bond's sea-view villa isavailable for rent on the One&Only Ocean Club website. The three beachfrontthree- and four-bedroom villas are among the hardest accommodations to reservebut make a great option for well-off families, at minimum $7,950 per night(excluding taxes and gratuities).
Luxury Beachfront Room: approx. $1000
Hotel Cipriani, Venice, Italy- "Casino Royale"
Tricky enough, the Venice hotel interiors wereshot in Prague, but Bond and his ladyfriend do moor their boat outside theindecently lavish Hotel Cipriani. This is not a place you come to on a tightbudget, that's for sure, and you may need to get a serious loan or mortgageyour property to enjoy some of its decadent treats (such as 24-carat-gold facialor a drink of Champagne, wild berries and gold leaf). Venice itself is splendidenough but a stay at the Cipriani skyrockets the Venetian experience to a wholenew level. A proud declaration you find on the hotel's website says: "If Venice is a theatre, the Hotel Cipriani is the Royal Box". Enjoy the show!
Lagoon View Junior Suite: approx. €2,000
Çırağan Palace Kempinski, Istanbul, Turkey- "Skyfall"
Once anOttoman palace, today ÇırağanSarayı is a five-star hotel that prvides setting for the latest James Bondflick as well as a photocall and press conference to mark the filming of Skyfall. Thecrew has done a fabulous job and Mr. Bond wouldn't have chosen better himself. A heated infinity pool, superb spatreatments, a boutique shopping arcade, 24-hour personalized butler service andtransfers by limousine, boat or helicopter on request – Ciragan PalaceKempinski is the quintessence of five star pampering. Add the glamorouslocation on the European shores of the Bosphorus and you've got the vacation toremember for a lifetime. If you happen to have spare €30,000.00, make sure you request the Sultan Suite.
Studio Suite with Bosforus View: approx. €1000
Four Seasons Canary Wharf, London, Great Britain – "Skyfall"
WhenDaniel Craig takes a dip in a rooftop pool before his mission in Shanghai, he'sactually swimming in the infinity pool of Four Seasons Canary Wharf. How canthat be? After all, the camera clearly gave a bird's eye view of the Chinese metropolis. Infact, the windows were blacked out forfilming, with Shanghai inserted digitally afterward. The crew stayed at thehote
l for 3 days, taking advantage of the brilliant five-star guest service. Mostof the 142 elegant guest rooms and suites feature large bay windows with plushleather seats so you can endlessly enjoy the marvelous views of the RiverThames and the city beyond.

As a country, the US did not fare as well, and after October 4, 1957, when the USSR launched Sputnik, it would become immediately clear that science and math education in the US did not measure up to the demands of a dawning space age. Students at Godwin probably had something of an advantage here.

Okay, Woman messing around with bios settings and not a clue what she was doing,
t3500 machine will not detect hardrive, disk or any other drive, just says (not present).
Tried boot from usb stick, will not work, big problem as there is a terabyte of work
on this particular hardrive. Please help!
If you can boot the system & access the BIOS, you do not need the "reset pins". All you need to do is properly configure the BIOS settings manually, or load the defaults.
"there is a terabyte of work
on this particular hardrive". Please help!
In the future, help yourself by keeping copies of all your personal files. If you need to add additional hard drives then do so.
In my opinion the most reliable backup method is to save the files to DVDR. If you wait until you have 1TB of data it may take quite a while to burn that much data.
The amount of effort you should put into keeping copies of personal files is inversely proportional to the importance of the files. Irreplaceable files like photos or manuscripts should be treated with even more card. Multiple copies including off site storage.
Why were you trying to boot from a flash drive to start with? Was there a problem with your Windows installation?
It is hard to stress enough the importance of maintaining backups of important data. Hard drives fail and data can be lost from a variety of other causes as well, some of which you have no control over. Having only one copy of important data is like walking a tightrope with no safety net. Sooner or later you will fall.
Ummm coudent you just take out the CMOS battery and put it back in? Not sure though thats what i might do.
"Where Are The Bios Reset Pins?"
For the benefit of those who actually need to know where the pins are, without downloading the manual or wading through "answers" from those who have no idea
where the pins are:
RTCRST pins to clear the nvram are located a couple of inches below the main power connector. "The NVRAM will be cleared when the jumper is closed... To properly clear; AC power must be applied (not necessarily turned on) to the system for about 10 seconds while the jumper is closed."
Or just download the manual:
The information in #5 above is incorrect. If power is left on to the motherboard the CMOS will not be cleared. You must perform the operation with power to the motherboard interrupted.
If the motherboard is running at the time you try clearing, or you attempt to start the board with the jumper in the clear position you will damage the board.
Clearing the CMOS resets the values to defaults which will make the time and date wrong and may affect other setting that you may wish to change. One that comes to mind is called legacy USB support.
Also, the pins to clear the CMOS may be located wherever the board manufacturer sees fit to place them but usually are next to the BIOS chip. They are always marked somehow. Usually with clrcmos. They may consist of two or three pins. When two pins are used no jumper is present. When three pins are used a jumper is placed accross pins 1&2 which is the run position. Cllearing requires your move the jumper to pins 2&3 momentarily while power to the board is off.

Use the Approval Limits window to define approval limits for adjustments created in Receivables, requests for credit memos initiated from iReceivables, and write–offs for receipts. Receivables uses approval limits that have a document type of Adjustment when you create an adjustment in the Adjustments, Submit AutoAdjustments, and Approve Adjustments windows.
When you enter an adjustment that is outside your approval limit range, Receivables assigns the adjustment a status of Pending until someone with the appropriate approval limits either approves or rejects it.
The Credit Memo Request Approval Workflow uses approval limits that have a document type of Credit Memo when forwarding credit memo requests from iReceivables. The workflow sends a notification to an approver if the request is within the approval limit range for the currency and reason code specified.
When you write off an unapplied receipt amount, Receivables uses approval limits that have a document type of Receipt Write–off. You cannot write off a receipt amount that is outside your approval limit range. You can only write off positive amounts.
You define Adjustment approval limits by currency and dollar amount. You define Credit Memo approval limits by reason type, currency, and dollar amount. You define Receipt Write–off approval limits by currency and dollar amount. The approval limits for write–offs are separate from, but cannot exceed, the system level write–off maximum amount that you define in the System Options window. You must specify both lower and upper approval limits for each approver.
