12" x 16" Watercolor
Arches 140#CP
With spring in the air -- it was in the 60sF yesterday - the winter remnants starkly contrast the greening earth. I do so love those tawny colors, the browns and tans, echrus and coffees, the sennas and umbers, auburns and russets. This delicate bouquet came from my own garden of ornamental grasses and surviving flower stalks ... some intact even after the birds have had their fill of seeds. These dried left-overs will remain for years, reminding me of a season of rest and its own quiet beauty.
Already the buds on trees, especially the maples and hickories, are coloring the gray woodlands with a 'spring hue' and after all the rain, the air is damp and fresh promising new life and a new season.
It's time to walk a bit, begin our goodbyes to the winter, and prepare for spring.
Hope your week is wonderful.

Even in winter there is beauty to behold. Gorgeous in its simplicity Lin.

Lovely bouquet!!! It just shows that nature has other things besides flowers that look beautiful together. Glad you had a touch of spring.

Oh this is wonderful Lin. I am always enthralled with the shapes of the limbs and trunks of bare trees in the winter and amazed at the variety. And I also love the "naked" weeds like thistles. But I never thought to paint something like the weeds. Your painting just shows that there is inner beauty everywhere!! The painting is lovely. What could have been dull is made vibrant with your background colors -- the "winter bouquet" shows up beautifully with that soft yet colorful background. And I love the way you painted the "bouquet" itself. Another delightful surprise from your brush!!

ReMix: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest "The Forest That Never Sleeps"
Help us take OCR to the next level by supporting us on
- Game: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Nintendo, 1995, SNES)
- ReMixer(s): halc
- Composer(s): David Wise
- Song(s): "Forest Interlude (Web Woods)"
- Posted: 2011-01-27, evaluated by the judges
- Terms (BETA): chiptune electronic synth
You might think it spells "halcdkc2," but halc + DKC2 can only truly spell "awesome"; Mr. Wheeler recently released his Pixel Perfect EP, so do go and check out some of his original work if you haven't already. The artist writes:
"I've always loved this theme, and it was fun playing with some new sounds this time around. I hope you all like it!"
More like love it; judges basically all heaped praise on this chippy, 8-bit treatment of Wise's original, with Larry resorting to outright indentured servitude:
"Indeed, I'm really feeling the attention to detail here. Everything was always flowing and evolving. Excellent arrangement, and great textures throughout. All hail halc, our 9-bit overlord!"
Pretty damn hot, no doubt, and as Drew's first mix from the DKC series and his first (of many, no doubt) of 2011, it delivers. What strikes me is that, in addition to all the chippish, crackling nanorhythms and retro goodness, the beat here is a bit thicker/heavier and the bass a smidge more resonant than some of his other mixes, lending a sound that's familiar yet distinct. Great way to start the year from an artist that completely rocked the last one.

Democratic transition, judicial accountability and judicialisation of politics in Africa : the Nigerian experience
Yusuf, Hakeem (2008) Democratic transition, judicial accountability and judicialisation of politics in Africa : the Nigerian experience. International Journal of Law and Management, 50 (5). pp. 236-261.
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
This paper aims to examine the growing incidence of judicialisation of politics in Nigeria's democratisation experience against the backdrop of questionable judicial accountability. The article draws on legal and political theory as well as comparative law perspectives. The judiciary faces a daunting task in deepening democracy and (re) instituting the rule of law. The formidable challenges derive in part from structural problems within the judiciary, deficient accountability credentials and the complexities of a troubled transition. Effective judicial mediation of political transition requires a transformed and accountable judiciary. The article calls attention to the need for judicial accountability as a cardinal and integral part of political transitions.

CANADA STOCKS-Gold miners lead TSX lower after nearing 18-mth high
* TSX down 6.99 percent, or 0.05 percent at 12,816.63 * Index up 3.1 pct since new year, up 0.7 pct this week * Gold miners make up most of the drags on the index By Solarina Ho TORONTO, Jan 25 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index dipped lower on Friday as falling bullion prices pressured gold miners and investors paused following a steady climb this year to near 18 month highs. The index, which has risen 3.1 percent since the new year, touched its highest level since Aug. 2, 2011 earlier in the session before retreating. In the United States, the benchmark S&P 500 saw its eighth straight day of gains and closed above the 1,500 level for the first time in more than five years. "To see a pause on today is not a surprise. We've had a very healthy move in the market year-to-date," said Jeff Bradacs, a portfolio manager at Manulife Asset Management. "That's been driven by both good economic data in the U.S., signs of encouragement with the housing market. Also we've seen good earnings." Of the S&P 500 companies that have reported results so far this quarter, nearly 70 percent reported better-than-expected earnings, according to Thomson Reuters data. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index finished down 6.99 percent, or 0.05 percent at 12,816.63. The index added 0.7 percent for the week. Four of the index's 10 main sectors ended in negative territory. Six of the top seven biggest drags in the index were gold miners. Kinross Gold Corp led, slumping 4.7 percent to C$8.58, while Goldcorp Inc fell 1.6 percent to C$35.81. Eldorado Gold Corp tumbled 5.3 percent to C$11.55 and Barrick Gold Corp was off 1.3 percent at C$33.02. Overall gold stocks were down 2.2 percent, while the overall materials group, which includes mining firms, was down 1.1 percent. Gold prices fell as the U.S. dollar strengthened and after the European Central Bank said banks would repay 137 billion euros ($183.2 billion) in cheap loans, opting to hand back early more cash than expected. The move reassured investors the euro zone banking system is stabilizing but undermined their interest in bullion as a hedge against risk. "The pullback in gold is for good reason today because the LTRO (long-term refinancing operations) repayment has signaled shrinkage in the ECB balance sheet. That's the opposite of what's been happening over the last few years," said Fergal Smith, managing market strategist at Action Economics. Positive investor sentiment from the bank repayments and news that business morale in the continent's biggest economy, Germany, improved for a third consecutive month in January, helped stem some of the losses. "We think it will be another good year for equities -- it might be a bumpy ride, but still a positive ride," said Bradacs. Oil prices, which finished a seventh consecutive positive week, initially rose on encouraging economic data before investors booked profits. Energy stocks climbed 0.3 percent. Potash Corp was the most positive stock on the index, rising 3.1 percent to C$43.93. The fertilizer giant extended Thursday's gains after fellow fertilizer maker, Agrium, raised its profit forecast amid expectations for higher fertilizer demand. In corporate news, Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp ended 3.6 percent higher at C$23.26, following its announcement that it has discovered oil in Brazil. Telecom company, Telus Corp, said on Friday it had settled a dispute with U.S. hedge fund Mason Capital Management LLC, and will go ahead with a share consolidation plan in February. Telus' voting shares were off 1.1 percent at C$65.03.

Key West Lemonade
Mixing instructions:Mix vodka and sweet and sour proportionally in any size batch, then add sprite or 7-up and cranberry accordingly, a dash each per serving. Directions are for single, regular bar size serving. Creator/contributor's comments:People will suck this drink down, there is no hint of alcohol when mixed properly. Just watch out when the drinkers try to walk after having a few, that's 2 shots of Vodka per serving. A big glass will have many ounces of vodka and you can't taste it at all. Drink responsibly, this one can get you and you won't know it till you try to stand up!! Thanks to April in Key West for this one, it's been a long time favorite for me. Wish I could remember the bar name, some place by Mallory Square across from the Pirates Den. Figures I remember that place. |

Hi Tina, We love our Fairy. It was the second antique rose I purchased. The rock pathway is actually made of cement. I have a form and my husband poored the cement for me. It has been in for about eight years and I just love it. The form can be turned so I can make curves and angles. Sometime soon I will show a full picture. It is laid out in a Celtic knot.
Hi Rusty, The French hollyhocks are Malva sylvestry. Very pretty and a perennial for me here in North Texas.I've grown that one for years and my tag says some kind of mallow--can't remember now. Isn't it funny how things are called something different everywhere. It does say Malva sylvestris too. I just love it cause it blooms forever and is perennial here. Love your dog too. I'm dog sitting in a few weeks. She's my grandbaby and nothing better than a good old spoiled dog.
ReplyDelete- rees cowdenMay 16, 2008 at 5:05 AM
I love hollyhocks but don't get to see them much down here in Fl. thanks for the reminder. Post some pics when the blooms start bustin out.
I have a photo of my kids sitting on bench at the Biltmore mansion with hollyhocks planted directly behind them and the flowere are larger than the kids heads! The gaillardia shots are nice too.
Rees Cowden I love my 'Fairy' rose. Mine must be in a good spot for she is a monster. Not blooming yet though. The shrub roses make their appearance at the end of the month. I didn't know I could dry the flowers. Learn something new everyday.
I planted C. jasmine for the first time this year. I hope I can overwinter it.~~DeeEveryone talks about the scent of the confederate jasmine. It must be quite special. I'll have to console myself with the scent of lilacs...
I really like the fairy rose, too, by the way. I've seen several pictures of them blooming and think maybe I should get one, too!
Thanks for joining in for bloom day.

PocketMac Scrambled My Address Groups Hi, I'm a new BB8703e owner. I used PocketMac to sync with my iBook G4. After the sync many of my address groups in Mac's Address Book were scrambled. For example, before the the sync I had 7 address groups: Friends Family Business Basketball Aviation Boating Music After the sync I had 12 address groups: Friends Friends, Boating Family Family, Basketball, Aviation Business Business, Music Basketball, Music, Family Aviation Aviation, Boating, Friends Boating Music The contents of the original 7 groups changed following the sync, too. Anyone know what happened? Thanks |
Please email PocketMac about this bug: PocketMac Support Site If enough of us complain, they might actually fix it. |

I'm really hoping to snag AC Black Flag and Skullgirls, I've basically gotten everything else I wanted.
The great thing about it is you can try games that are super cheap. They may "look" bad, but some of them are just downright awesome, but a lot of people overlook them because they're not big name, or use a not realistic graphic set or whatever prejudgements people make.
I tend to scroll down to the metacritic score (click it and read what peoples issues are, some people down rate for stupid reasons sometimes), scroll further down for peoples reviews. I probably have skipped some proper gems of games, but I have so many games to play through, I allow myself that few
I only take a look at metacritic rating to cringe between the difference of so called critics and site users.
Then I just go and watch some gameplay videos and steam recommendations of people who actually played the game.
Not the ones that are "pixels are so last-gen" / downvoted / playtime: 0.1h
Oh god, I don't read the "professional" reviews
Hell, half of my top 10 list of games consists of N64 games, and I love old 8/16 bit RPGs and puzzle games, definitely not a "gotta have awesome pixels" fan, so to speak.
Have to admit looks wise, I can be fussy. Took months of a cronie nagging me to get Terraria but when I did, ye gads, played the hell out of it.
Even giving Hammerwatch a blast at the min`.
I tend to rely on what someone I know says rather then reviews, but I often youtube things to help too.
Aren`t there some firms that have had some very suspicious meta-critic scores though?
Vaguely recall TB going on about some of the dodgy reviews/scores in the past too.
Honestly, I remember last year during Steam Sale I steered away from the older games mainly because I was thinking I have a decent computer why play with bad graphics when I can buy the newer/cooler stuff. Then people suggested a couple games and I watched a video, read about it, debated and gave in. Now I could care less. As I was of the mind set of "it's got old graphics it can't be that great to play why waste time on it"
I'd love to snag Wolfenstein, but it's probably to new to be put on sale for more than maybe 10% off, so I'll wait for the winter sale. Also looking at some somewhat older titles like Wolf Among Us, Dishonored, and Walking Dead Season 2. If Far Cry 3 goes on sale for dirt cheap I'll probably pick up copies for a couple friends so we can play multiplayer. There are some other more indie games I'd score too if the price was right. Time to wait and see!
Well, I managed to get my "Have not played" list down to 20-30 games, so it is about time to fill up the surplus stores again with new games.
I mean... at some point, I have to run out of new and interesting games to buy, right?
Walking Dead S2 and Wolf Among us probably gonna get down up to 50% off
Pretty sure Dishonored and Far cry will go up 75% off if not 80%.
Wolfenstein I would not expect going bellow 25% off, it's fairly new and it's AAA title.
However, talking from experience, always be ready to check deals just when they update, if there is an error in price reduction you may grab some games dirt cheap, I felt dirty while doing that, but it's kinda thrilling whether you gonna snag it in those 2-3 minutes until they fix it or not.
Hah, not sure I got any of the broken priced games, but I did see one or two. I wouldn't mind walking Dead Season 2 maybe, enjoyed the first one. Or maybe the DLC if it drops, apparently it's really short, so rather not fork over full price. I've seen Far Cry drop to 75% (or maybe 50% off) recently, I dunno if there's any DLC but they might do 75% off a GOTY type edition?
I will both keep my eye on it at all times and try my best to avoid buying things. Do want lots of cards to sell to finish off my badges though. Selling holiday cards is a great way for me to finish my other badges
Yeah, I got my copy of FC3 for $7 or so last year, was a good deal but it doesn't seem to go on sale much. I'd be all over any pricing errors in my favor, I've spent plenty at the steam store in the past so I wouldn't feel too bad. =) Fortunately I don't have much going on this summer, so I can keep an eye on the deals around the clock.
Well I don't want to tell you how you should enjoy your games, but you might want to consider doing something different. If I look to myself I sometimes have to force myself playing a game, and while an experience like that isn't ''the perfect game'' I might never forget some of those games and I really enjoyed myself in the end.
I think that's what the Steam sales are good for, buying some cheap games to try out which might not be your type of game in the end. Atleast you're sure those games are not for you. I heard everyone talking about Fallout 3 and New Vegas and how good it was and it was the game of the generation for a lot of people. Bought both for a few bucks, tried it out a few times, and HATED it. Since I spent so little on it instead of 120 euro's, I'm pretty okay with that and I'm on to the next game. Bioshock on the other hand, at moments I had a hard time enjoying it, but went on and in the end it's one of my favorite games of all time.
Sure this might not be your style of doing things, but in the end you'll probably experience a lot of great games. Why so scared of buying a wrong game? Just try it out and see if a game is for you or not. Because if you only like Civilization 5 and Football Manager, well sure I believe you LOVE gaming then...
I pretty much have everything I want. And Steam always has pretty bad Prices in the €U Store, so I rather buy on Nuuvem, GMG etc.
Might pick up a game or two.
Well, during the Winter Sale Far Cry 3 hit 75% off bringing it to $7.49 so depends on if you think that is cheap enough. There's a possibility it could go lower, but we won't know until then.
Well according to the Fall/Winter 2013 thread I had up here with daily sales and stuff. Which you can view for the deals during the Autumn/Fall Sale to see what past deals where and if you are interested in them in case they come up again.
Since steam allowed publisher do their own sales ( since february this year I believe), I don't see much meaning in the Summer/Winter Sales. On top of that, you can find almost any title with good offer on dlcompare already (and most come with steam activation).
Will see but I was already disappointed last time with most sales being on cheap indie titles.

Exclusive: Associate sued NRF for injury caused by partner bullying
02 December 2016
Rate it
A former Norton Rose Fulbright associate sued the firm and a partner for personal injuries and other losses that she claimed were caused by bullying.
Juliana Ismail, a former NRF real estate litigation associate in London, brought the action against former NRF partner Charlotte Bijlani and the firm. Bijlani was a NRF partner in London at the time of the alleged bullying in 2013, but relocated to the firm's Dubai office in 2014.
Ismail issued the claim in April this year at London's High Court, the same month that Bijlani left NRF Dubai, before joining Baker & McKenzie Dubai in May. Ismail appears to have left the firm in June.
Ismail states in the claim form that Bijlani directed "
a course of deliberate and concerted bullying
" at her, for which NRF was vicariously liable. Ismail sought £50,000 in "
damages for personal injuries and loss
" claiming she was rendered "
unable to perform the duties of her employment by May 2013".
On an entirely separate note, Bijlani happens to be an expert at karate.
RollOnFriday has no argument with Charlotte or her friends
A spokeswoman for NRF told RollOnFriday "
The legal proceedings have been concluded on mutually acceptable terms. The terms are confidential between the parties"
. A spokesman for Baker & McKenzie declined to comment.

RTG Casino Bonuses
Real Time Gaming (otherwise known as RTG) is an online casino software provider that powers many online casinos in the industry. It is known to offer some of the largest casino bonuses available and it attracts many new players through these bonuses. Many Real Time Gaming casino bonuses use casino coupons (otherwise referred to as casino codes). The Real Time Gaming casino package is excellent one and an important part of that package is their bonus offers.
Real Time Gaming offers many different types of casino bonuses. Bonuses are used by casinos as a way of attracting new customers and keeping old customers. Because there is such fierce competition in the online casino industry, these casino bonuses come in many forms and sizes. Casinos are constantly offering new and improved bonus offers and the same is true of Real Time Gaming casinos.
Most Real Time Gaming casinos offer the standard sign up bonuses, first deposit bonuses, reload bonuses and so on. Their sign up bonuses are known to be some of the largest in the industry, as are their ongoing player bonuses. They offer sign up bonuses that range from $100 all the way up to approximately $1,000.
Bonus Codes
Besides their large bonuses, Real Time Gaming casinos are well known for their bonus codes. These bonus codes are short strings of letters and digits that can be exchanged for free casino bonuses. There are many of these RTG bonus codes available. These codes are easy to access and claim and they offer many different types of casino bonuses, ranging from deposit bonuses to no deposit RTG casino bonuses.
How to use the RTG coupon system
In order to redeem a Real Time Gaming casino bonus coupon, you will first need to download the Real Time Gaming software and register as a new real player. Once you have done that, you will need to visit the cashier section of the casino. You will then be required to type the coupon code into the specified area and click on "redeem." These coupons are simple and convenient to use and the bonus amount is generally added to your bonus account immediately after you redeem them.
Before you enter your casino code into the cashier section in order to redeem it, you must be careful of two things. First, you must enter the code exactly as it appears. This includes the use of capital letters. If you do not enter the code exactly correctly, it will not be accepted. You must also make sure that you enter and redeem the casino code before you make a casino purchase. If you make a mistake in this regard however, you can contact the RTG customer service personnel and they are generally helpful and will help you to sort out the mistake.

- Correlation between PDE4 levels and depression symptoms [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
Enrollment: | 100 |
Study Start Date: | August 2, 2006 |
Study Completion Date: | October 12, 2016 |
Primary Completion Date: | June 16, 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Although direct pharmacological effects of antidepressant should manifest rapidly, before significant symptom relief appears, typically antidepressant treatment needs to be continued for 2 to 4 weeks. This delayed onset of clinical effects indicates involvement of adaptive changes in antidepressant effects. Rodent studies have consistently shown upregulation of the 3, 5-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) system induced by different types of chronic but not acute antidepressant treatment including serotonin and norepinephrine uptake inhibitors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, lithium and electroconvulsions. cAMP is synthesized from adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) by adenylyl cyclase and metabolized by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Type 4 PDE (PDE4) is selective to cAMP in the brain. Among components of the cAMP pathway, PDE4 appears to be critical for antidepressant effects because an inhibitor of PDE4, 4-[3-(cyclopenotoxyl)-4-methoxyphenyl]-2-pyrrolidone (rolipram), showed antidepressant effects both in animals and humans, and various forms of antidepressant treatment induced increase in PDE4 in rodents. However, without imaging the cAMP pathway before and after antidepressant treatment in depressives, it is not possible to study adaptive changes in the signal transduction system and its role in the symptom relief.
Recently (R)-[(11)C]rolipram has been successfully used to image PDE4 in animals and humans. We have confirmed that PDE4 levels can be measured reliably by performing (R)-[(11)C]rolipram positron emission tomography (PET) with multiple arterial sampling even in rats. The primary purpose of this protocol is to compare PDE4 levels before and after starting a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline, citalopram or escitalopram in unmedicated depressed patients. The secondary purpose is to compare PDE4 levels between unmedicated depressed patients and healthy subjects. Baseline scans of patients will be used for this second comparison. For the first time, these comparisons have become possible with the new PET agent (R)-[(11)C]rolipram. The findings will advance understanding on the role of cAMP signal transduction system in the pathology of depression and the mechanisms of antidepressant effects.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 55 Years (Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Healthy Volunteers (n = 70)
Healthy Control Sample (n = 70): Sixty of these volunteers will have brain PET scans and 10 of these have only blood sampling to compare (R)-[(11)C]rolipram levels in artery and vein. Healthy subjects (ages 18-55) will be selected who have not met criteria for any major psychiatric disorder, have no known first-degree relatives with mood disorders, and have a current score on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS; 17 item) (Williams 1988) in the not depressed range (less than or equal to 7). Control subjects will be matched to depressed subjects for age and gender. Forty of these subjects will have (R)-[(11)C]rolipram PET scans with blood sampling and 10 subjects have only blood sampling without PET scan. The healthy volunteers who are used to measure the difference in (R)-[(11)C]rolipram concentration between the artery and the vein will not undergo psychiatric assessment because the data will not be compared with those of patients.
MDD Samples (n = 65)
MDD Sample-Currently Depressed (n = 65): Patients (ages 18-55) will be selected with primary MDD currently depressed by DSM-IV criteria for recurrent MDD and current 17-item HDRS score greater than or equal to 18 or Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) (Noble et al 1991) greater than or equal to 20 indicating the moderately-to-severely depressed symptoms. All subjects must be physically healthy and aged 18 55 years.
Subjects will be recruited who are drug-na(SqrRoot) ve or who have not received psychotropic drugs for at least 2 weeks (6 weeks for fluoxetine) prior to scanning. Effective medications will not be discontinued for the purposes of the study.
Subjects will also be excluded if they have:
- serious suicidal ideation or behavior
- psychosis
- medical conditions or concomitant medications that are likely to influence PET measurement or have significant interactions with sertraline, citalopram or escitalopram.
- a history of drug or alcohol abuse within 1 year or a lifetime history of alcohol or drug dependence (DSM-IV criteria)
- positive urine drug screen
- current pregnancy (as documented by pregnancy testing prior to scanning)
- general MRI exclusion criteria
- major depression that arose following another major medical or psychiatric condition, and
- prior participation in other research protocols within a year such that radiation exposure would exceed the annual guidelines
For patients who have two [C-11]rolipram PET scans, one before and another after SSRI treatment, previous failures of or intolerance to SSRI may not allow for treatment in the current protocol. In clinical practice, medication can be switched between sertraline and citalopram/escitalopram because sertraline and citalopram/escitalopram have somewhat different therapeutic effects and adverse reactions. Along these lines, we will consider citalopram and its enantiomer escitalopram as being equivalent to each other. Patients will therefore be excluded from the study with two [C-11]rolipram PET scans if they previously failed to respond to adequate treatment trials of all medications available for use in the study, or if they have a history of being unable to tolerate all of the study medications. Specifically, patients will be excluded from the study with two [C-11]rolipram PET scans if they:
j) previously proved unresponsive to therapeutic trials of both sertraline and citalopram/escitalopram.
k) previously developed allergic reactions to both sertraline and citalopram/escitalopram, or discontinued both sertraline and citalopram/escitalopram due to an adverse effect
l) through any combination of therapeutic unresponsiveness and adverse medication effects, are unsuitable for treatment with both sertraline and citalopram/escitalopram
m) prolonged QTc in ECG
Please note that the exclusion criteria j, k, and l do not apply to patients who have one [C-11]rolipram PET without having antidepressant treatment in this protocol.
Additional exclusion criteria applied to control subjects are:
n) subjects with a current or past history of other axis I psychiatric conditions
o) subjects with first-degree family members with current or past history of mood disorder.
Please note that these exclusion criteria (with the exception of f and i) do not apply to the healthy volunteers who are used to measure the difference in (R)-[(11)C]rolipram concentration between the artery and the vein, without PET scanning.
Subjects beyond age 55 are excluded to reduce the biological heterogeneity encompassed by the MDD criteria, and to reduce the variability of PET data.

1) Dont scrimp.
Your home entertainment speaker system is not the place to get cheap. Youve heard the phrase, where the rubber meets the road to denote somethings importance? Just as a good set of tires is essential to the performance of an automobile, a good set of speakers is crucial to the performance of a home entertainment systemwhether there are 20 speakers or just two.
The speakers are the last stops for sound on the way to your ears. So you can have the worlds greatest DVD player and amplifiers, all creating this beautiful sound, but if you have a lousy set of speakers, it will still sound lousy. In other words, your system will only be as good as its speakers.
Theres no set figure on how much you should spend on audio versus video, but a good benchmark is to try to budget for them equally, and look for a set of speakers to fit the audio portion. Try to spend at least as much on your speakers as you spend on your other audio components.
2) Leave Mr. Audio at home.
Everyone seems to have a friend or relative who is a self-professed audio expert, and when heand usually it is a hegets wind that youre buying a home theater, hell suddenly become your self-appointed shopping consultant/escort/new best pal. Leave this guy at home. Chances are he will try to talk you into buying a system that he likes, not the one that is best for you. And he may be grossly misinformed. Consult him over the phone if you must.
3) Same speakers, all around.
Ideally, youd have the exact same speakers throughout your home entertainment system. If its a five-speaker system, try to use the same five speakers. This is often difficult, as the front center channel is usually positioned horizontally, and you may not have room for full-size surround speakers. If thats the case, look for packaged home theater speaker systems, though dont bother with inexpensive home-theater-in-a-box systems which often include DVD players and A/V receivers. Opt instead for a package that comes with only speakers. Many manufacturers sell all five or more speakers together, with a smaller center channel and surrounds. The advantage of these speakers is that they are designed to work well together.
The speakers should also have identical power ratings and frequency ranges. A 5.1 surround-sound system, for example, calls for five full-range speaker channels. Look for ranges starting at 60 to 100 hertz for the low sounds and up to 20 kilohertz for the high sounds, and leave the really low bass for a subwoofer to reproduce. Some center-channel and surround speakers may have narrower frequency ranges, as they dont normally reproduce some lower sounds, for instance.
If you cant get all the same models or a package for the speakers, try to get them from the same manufacturers line, or from the same manufacturer, as each speaker maker tends to have a signature sound. That way, the speakers will sound good together. If you have to use a mix of brands, be sure your electronics professional matches them for tonal quality. This process is called timbre matching.
4) The center channel rules.
It may be smaller than the other front speakers. It may lie on its side and look like its not doing much. But the center channel is the most important speaker in a surround-sound system. All of the on-screen dialogue comes through this speaker, and about 70 percent of all sounds in a movie soundtrack come through it. Thats a lot. Scrimp on it or buy an underpowered one, and you may be constantly turning up the volume to hear whats being said. That doesnt make for good a home entertainment experience. Thats why the center channel should have the same power ratings as your other speakers. Dont settle for less.
5) Power isnt all-important.
Sure, Mr. Audio friend brags about his 200-watt-per-channel blah de-de-blah blah blah. And his system can still sound lousy. Power isnt important unless you have a really big room to fill. Save the 100-watt-per-channel systems for dedicated home theater rooms where you want to shake, rattle and roll. Sixty watts per channel should be plenty in a family room environment. Thirty-five watts per channel is more than enough for background music.
6) Sensitivity wins.
This is the age of Mr. Sensitive. Much more important than the power capacity of a speaker is its sensitivity, which is a measure of how a speaker plays at low power. This is expressed in decibels, from about 83 to 93, the higher the better. And heres a little factoid for Mr. Audio: An increase in 3 decibels of sensitivity is equal to doubling the power. The higher-sensitivity system will likely sound better as well.
7) Surround channels should be diffused.
That means they are meant to create ambient effects that cant quite be localized, such as the hum of a spaceship or crickets chirping in the night. You shouldnt be hearing your surround speakers all of the time. And you shouldnt be able to pinpoint where those ambient sounds are coming from. For that reason, surround speakers should be located on the sides of the seating area and at least a foot above the heads of the seated audience. Many surround speakers have dual sets of speaker drivers pointed to both the front and back of the room to help disperse that sound. These are called bipole speakers. A dipole speaker goes step further and produces a sound thats slightly out of phase, which you can think of as a slight delay between the two sets of drivers, thereby making the sound even more ambient. Bipolar and dipolar speakers are used almost exclusively for side surround channels.
8) More is not necessarily better.
One speaker has three drivers: a woofer for bass, a tweeter for high sounds and a midrange driver for sounds in the middle. The other speaker has just a woofer and a tweeter. The two speakers are about the same price. Which is better? All other things being equal, the two-driver speaker will likely have the better drivers, and the three-driver speaker will have cheaper ones. Moral of the story: Dont be swayed by the notion of getting more for same price or less.
9) Try them out.
Listen to several speaker systems before you buy. And dont just listen to the music or soundtracks the store has. The best way to judge a speaker is to hear how it reproduces the human voice. Bring CDs and DVDs of your own and that you are very familiar with. Its a good idea to select various tracks or DVD chapters that have loud and soft sounds. Bring vocal tracks and a DVD with some really soft or whispered dialogue. Can you hear that whispered dialogue clearly? Listen to the CDs and DVDs before you go to the store, even if youre sick of them. This will enable you to judge the speakers sound and perhaps pick out sounds that youve never heard before.
10) Buy what you like.
Dont be influenced by this is the better system. or deceptive marketing (BOSE and others). If one speaker sounds better to you, go with it. Youre the one whos going to be hearing it day in and day out. But be sure to take other things into consideration, such as the room decor and layout, and consult your electronics dealer on which system would be best for a large space with hardwood floors, for example.

A trio of Elemental Designs W6-6TC's these are my fronts. I also got a A7s-450 with a 1300 watt amp, and eQ.2. It was my first Home Audio Purchase. I went 3.1.. Powered by a Pioneer elite..
I have a question about my setup.. AS you can see for my center I went with a bookshelf, I been hearing different responses on how to place the center(upright, like it is, or on its side), what do you think??
In the pics, I had the speakers upside down, their all the way they should be now.

Yea, I was thinking that(adding two more, as well as, another sub). lol The GF(Queen), was shocked how big the sub was, as well as, how it shakes the House.. She doesn't have a problem with what I buy, but I think if I bought more speakers and sub, she would def think I'm crazy, but wait I am.. It's a sickness, once you get hooked it's over.. Just like when I was in to car audio, why stop at 2 subs, when 4 is twice as nice.. lol
Yea, I will play around with the center, Thanks for the input..

Do you have a rug on the floor between you and the speakers? It would be a good idea, if possible. If you could get the speakers another two feet apart somehow, the soundstage would improve drastically for movies and music.
What's the thingy to the right of your receiver?
Gamut D200 MKII, Parasound P3, Totem Forest, Samsung BDP3600, Musical Fidelity V-DAC, Pace Whistler(PVR), Samsung PN58B850, Harmony 670
Yea, if I move the sub, I can move the speakers out. I think I may move the sub.. Have to wait to get help, it's 140lbs, and too awkward to pick up by myself. I could just drag it on the pad though..
Yea, I took out the area rug for the pics..
The "Thingy" would be my wireless router, and a comcast modem to the far right???
PSN= Foreniscs80..
Try to get the speakers at least 12" away from the TV and if possible move the sub out of the corned ( subs have a tendency to get Boomy when in a corner not a clean bass image). Usually you put a sub in the corner to increase the Boominess and get more bass effect, but it doesn't look like it would lack any sound by those pictures.

5' to 7' would be the best separation for the front speakers to yield a proper soundstage and a piece of carpet beneath the sub would be almost required...

HAHA, Yea, somewhat.. At first most people are like man your center is upright. Then I explain to them it's a bookshelf like the other two fronts. I'm still in the process of going Vertical or Horziontal with it.. Now, I plan on moving my sub to behind me, uggh, it never ends.. Off to Mononprice once again for a longer in wall rated sub cable...

Defiant Cook defends his tactics after series victory
Alastair Cook launched a spirited defence of his captaincy after England completed a resounding series win over New Zealand. Although Cook, right, led his team to a 247-run victory in the second Test against New Zealand at Headingley to complete a 2-0 triumph, it was overshadowed by questions about strategy and tactics.
Rarely can such an overwhelming win have been accompanied by such a muted chorus of approval. Two players, Cook and Joe Root, scored centuries for England, their 25th and first respectively, and Graeme Swann became the first spinner for 41 years to take 10 wickets in a Headingley Test.
"I think the result vindicates the decision [not to ask New Zealand to follow-on]," Cook said. "There is no doubt about that. To win by 250 runs is a good win and in just effectively over three days' cricket. It was an outstanding performance. Tactically we thought the wicket was only going to get worse. We wanted a bit more time for footholes for Swanny to get a bit deeper with the left-armers bowling at us."
Tuilagi playing catch-up for Lions

Americans are much more likely to have trouble paying medical bills or getting a quick appointment with a doctor than their peers in 10 other high-income, industrialized countries, according to a new study.
Even Americans with insurance are more likely to forgo care because of high costs and to struggle to pay big bills, according to the survey, conducted by The Commonwealth Fund. And the United States spends far more on health care per person than other nations, to the tune of $3,000 more per head than the next closest nation.
Most of the other countries in the survey have public insurance systems with varying roles for the private market, but the report also includes ones with competing insurers, such as Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands. The U.S. is alone in its complexity of health insurance plans, mix of public and private insurance programs and relatively limited regulations.
This leads to Americans paying a lot more out-of-pocket than their counterparts.
The higher prices, however, don't mean we get to jump to the head of the line when it comes to seeing a doctor or nurse when we're sick.
That means we're more likely to go to the emergency room for treatment.
One of the few advantages we have in healthcare is the ease in getting to see a specialist.
The Affordable Care Act will help address some of these disparities, said Cathy Schoen, the survey's author. Many uninsured Americans who have had trouble affording and accessing care will be covered starting in 2014. Also, the policies will be more comprehensive so patients won't be surprised by a treatment not being covered or by annual limits of coverage.
But even under Obamacare, as ACA is known, Americans will still pay more for health care than peers elsewhere because many plans carry deductibles that run into the thousands of dollars. The annual out-of-pocket spending limit for individuals is $6,350, while families may pay up to $12,700.
"The insurance in the exchanges will continue to have much higher cost sharing than in other countries," Schoen said.
Average health insurance premiums for employer-sponsored family coverage soared 62% between 2003 and 2011, far outpacing the rise in wages, a new study found.
By 2011, there were 35 states in which the annual premium equaled 20% or more of income, according to a study issued Wednesday by The Commonwealth Fund. This compares to just one state in 2003.
Premiums in the south and south-central United States were the highest relative to MORE

This route is leadable.bring R.P.s |
By JJ Schlick Administrator From: Flagstaff, AZ Sep 26, 2006 |
Seth Dyer and I both lead this thing pretty quickly back in the middle 90s. The gear is thin, though the line is well protected for a .12 at DL. A great "cut your teeth" .12 lead for the park. Get after it... |

This felt sandbaggy at 12a. |
By Alex A Sep 11, 2010 |
Nick, the photos you poster here are not AAA, it's Between the Cheeks, 5.12c, AAA climbs the overhanging corner about 4ft to the right of BTC, I do think 12a is a sandbag for AAA, |
By John W. Knoernschild From: Wisconsin Sep 11, 2010 |
12c would make more sense. Burly. So I guess we were on BTC then. |
By Tradoholic Sep 11, 2010 |
Makes sense. Guidebook's description was vague as usual. Pics moved to avoid further confusion. |
By Tradoholic Sep 15, 2010 |
Tried the proper line today, still felt sandbaggy. I was totally baffled trying to pull the roof. |
By Alex A Sep 17, 2010 |
I know the feeling of being shut down on both these climbs, these are 2 of the 16 climbs, I have not done at the lake, |
By Tradoholic Sep 17, 2010 |
You should name the 16 so we can collectively call them something ;) |
By Chris treggE Administrator From: Madison, WI Sep 17, 2010 |
Yah Alex we would like to know which 16. That's pretty impressive. |

Despite the riches and fame, celebrity moms are really just like us, and they too spent some quality time with family over the weekend. Kim Kardashian and more took to their social media accounts to give fans insight on how they celebrated the big day.
Kim Kardashian received an overwhelming amount of love for her first Mother's Day celebration when soon-to-be husband Kanye West showered her with a garden wall made of roses, hydrangeas and peonies. Kardashian took to Instagram to post a video of the magical monument, where baby North West can be heard voicing some baby talk for the camera. Kardashian later posted a photo with her 10-month-old, gushing about her life since North. "This little girl has changed my world in more ways than I ever could have imagined!" she wrote.
While Kim K appeared to opt for low-key celebrations, LeAnn Rimes Cibrian took to Las Vegas with her not-so-shy husband Eddie Cibrian for a night out. First spot on the itinerary included her performance gig at Sin City's Orleans Showroom, which was followed by a late dinner and a concert outing with Steve Aoki and DJ duo The Chainsmokers. We wonder if they took any selfies.

Fans got a more personal glimpse into how Miranda Kerr celebrated the big day. In a photo, which she posted on her Instagram account, Kerr is seen posing with her son Flynn, mom and her extended family, who all reunited in Gunnedah, Australia, to celebrate the big day.
While she didn't exactly detail her Mother's Day plans, Britney Spears took to Facebook to post a throwback photo of herself and her mother Lynne, giving thanks to the woman who taught her everything about parenthood.
American Hustle's Elisabeth Röhm was spotted out and about at LA's Estérel restaurant, where she was joined by her husband and daughter. While Röhm grubbed on some of the healthy dining options, she was also seen indulging in bottomless mimosas. Talk about a mommy's day treat! The Vanderpump family was also seen at the restaurant, celebrating on the outdoor patio. Lisa Vanderpump, her husband Ken, daughter Pandora and Lisa's brother from London were also seen enjoying some mimosas and the sunny LA weather.
