I got my first set of polks from craigslist with a pair of jbl floorspeakers for 80 bucks, sold the jbls for 100 and kept the polks for my system. Love the way they sound.
I bought a set of jbl's for cheap of craigslist to try the new world of ht a least for me, and like it, decided to upgrade to monitors, then to rtia's i like the sound, look, price and some where in between i found this forum from where i am learning a lot dealing with great people!
First Polk's I got were R10's, from them I started collecting more & more Polk Speakers - mostly from Craigslist.
Lou (ohskigod) sold me his RTA12b's to use and that was got me hooked. I still have them by the way.
When I went off to college at the University of Missouri in Columbia MO I was looking for some speakers for my apartment. At the local boutique audio shop I auditioned a pair of Polk Studio Monitor 4.6's Series II and loved them, in fact I still have them in my workshop. I later upgraded to RT1000p's and just recently upgraded those to LSi25's. Along the way I picked up a basic Polk 5.1 system and another pair of monitors. Still dreaming of an SDA-SRS system and one day will find a pair close enough I hope. Along with their excellent customer service and striving online community I'm hooked for life.

got a chance to hear a complete LSi setup at a Home Theater Installation Services company plus all the great threads here on Polk forums.
My dad gave me one of his older integrated amps and I had to pick up some speakers. Just a low budget system at first. Bought a pair of Sony towers from Circuit City. Nothing special. Same month, Polk started selling R50's for cheap and bought a pair from Fry's. My amateur ears loved the Polks so I returned the Sony towers.
Then came this forum and got me hooked. Several years have passed and I have gone through RTi's and now have a bunch of LSi speakers. Much better equipment too. Original R50's sadly given a co-worker for his budget system. Not sure what ever happened to him since he no longer works for the same company. Probably loved them as much as I that it cost him his job, marriage, and who knows what else. Polk knows how to sell. First hit is cheap, and then you are hooked. What a ride though.
The sound and value
A pair of SDA-CRS at Audio Emporium in Tucson in the mid-eighties. I couldn't afford them at them time but I used to go in to the listening room all the time and listen to Heartbeat City by the Cars. I fell in love immediately, nothing else even came close. I started with Monitor 4's, then went to 5 Jr's, then 5's and finally SDA-2A's. I did end up getting a pair of CRS's - and I still listen to Heartbeat City on them.
I live near a Crutchfield outlet store, and went there about years ago for a basic HT system. They had the Rti-10s for $375 a pair (scratch and dent), so I picked a pair up after talking to a few people on here. I ended up adding a Csi-3 and and some Fxi-3's from Bruss.
Still have the same setup, so it was a good investment for sure!

My infatuation started with my dad's sony 3-way tower speakers and decided i wanted an awesome surround sound so after extensive research i always came back to compare with Polk and Polk won hands down every time. Needless to say i still am using my dad's 3-ways but i have upgraded everything else to the whole RTIa line. Couldn't be any happier. Now if i could just get my hands on those A9's and a new AVR and amplifier :)

QUALITY AND PRICE!!! I have the RTi-A1 (cherri) and I am very happy.
PS: The only thing I did to the speakers was to "ADD" more http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=260-317 and the sound went from good to amassing!
Make it simple...Make it better!
What really got me hooked on polks was i went to buy a 20.00 subwoofer off a guy 50 miles away. Got there and he lived on a golf course. It was a 300watt brand new and nobody wanted to buy it because he didnt know model number. Not a blemish on it----then i eyed the SDA2b's just sitting there. He said he wouldnt sell them--i left and i emailed him for 2 days-then he called me----i went back in our Toyota Yaris and would you believe they fit in there. I was hooked on Polk Audio then--since i have strayed some. But have always had polks in the house. And as time goes on i will have more polks to add to my gear..i have a wish list

What really got me hooked on Polk wasn't my RTiA9's that I owned (A league of their own and awesome at what they can do with POWER), it was my current 3.1TL's and the discovery I made with them. As such, these are speakers that will never be sold, ever. They will be modded to the nines and will always have a spot in my home. I think its a great feeling when a 27 year old loves 20+ year old speakers more than anything in the chain. The next generation keeps the history moving forward.
The high end systems like the SRT and RT5000 really drew me in. Back then I could only drool at those systems but today the used prices might make it a reality one day. For now my RT800i, CS400i, F/X500 combo will do!
I bought my first pair of Polks (Monitor 4's) in 1981 from a small neighborhood store (where I had previously bought a Hitachi cassette deck) with savings from my summer job; these were my college speakers for 4 years! I was so blown away by them I bought a pair of Monitor 10B's in 1985 (along with a Harman-Kardon cassette deck) with my signing bonus from my first job after graduating college. I loved THEM so much I traded a friend my old Philips stereo amplifier (which I upgraded to my first Yamaha surround-sound amp) for his pair of Monitor 10B's in 1989 (that he had bought because he liked mine so much)!
After almost 25 years I have replaced the tweeters with RDO-194's and re-built the cross-overs in all four Monitor 10B's; they sound better than ever! I only hope I get another 25 years of enjoyment out of my trusty old Polks.

"I drank what?" Socrates
I went to hook up my infinity sm bookies after they were in storage for 10 years, only to find they were dry rotted. I went on ebay and found my r300's for $100ish shipped from polk. That started it all, went through the following speakers over the last two years: r300, monitor 70, r150 (tweeter bad in 70's, needed speakers), monitor 50, rti10, rtia1, rt25i, lsi7, lsi15. I have another set coming in this weekend, not saying what just yet.
Giving a demo listen to a pair of 10BS! Went home with a pair too...still have em..this was in..I think 85?
I see this is an old thread but, I just wanted to express myself on a current purchase of a pair of mint Rt55i's, CS400i center and, Polk satellite's for rear surround on a low budget Yamaha HTR-6230 receiver and MAN! This thing sounds outstanding!! Needed to try Polk Audio home since I loved a pair of MOMO subs I use to own years ago..
That older RT series is an excellent entry into Polk and very hard to go wrong with at their market values. If you start to hear distortion, lay off the volume some because those tweeters can be hard to find replacements for.
I've still got a pair of 8" MOMO subs in the closet, as well as an SR104 and C400.4. Their car stuff was hard to beat, the SR's being hard to beat at any price. I miss the SR5250's sometimes, but I enjoy my home setup so much more now that they're gone.

I have always been fascinated with sound. When I was in my teens, I had built a few pairs of speakers and had experimented with phasing opposite channels to cancel cross talk. Then I read an article about Polk Audio and the Stereo Dimensional Array speakers. Then I found out that they were based in Baltimore, my home town. There were many trips to Stansbury Stereo in Dundalk to listen to the Polks until I could afford my own. By then, Stansbury became Bryn Mawr and I bought the RTA-11TL's.

Hooked ??
Must have been the free beer, babe threads, and countless spankings of a&&hats who used to frequent the forum.
These added to it after the rta's.
My first Polk,s were the RTiA7's I picked up for the start of my HT system and I also found this forum when I registered them. Finished my home theater and started to become intrigued with the SDA's that everyone on to the forum was talking about. Found a pair of 2.3's locally and my mind was blown with the sound that came out of these. Still getting all of the mod's completed but these will stay with me till I can no longer hear music!

A friend of mine, Jim Dellasandro, whom is no longer with us (died at 55 / post here http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/show...im+dellasandro )
I used to go over Jimmy's and he would be jammin something on his old two speaker set up.
He had two small polk bookshelf speakers and I think an Onkyo or Denon, or maybe both, one at a time, who knows.
I do remember the speakers though, not the model, just that they were polks.
They were so loud and so clear, they were awesome.
He had the large Scranton, PA style duplex, where they had 12 foot or higher ceilings, houses built in the 40's, huge, 4 or 5 floors per level and large ceilings and rooms all over.
Me, at the time, as long as it didn't crackle, was good enough.
At the time, I had a couple of big AR towers, hooked to a cheap Pioneer, and kept blowin the tweeters, as I was a rookie, even moreso at the audiophile entry point.
Well, I am glad I jumped to polk, and am here until I, too, am taking my dirt nap.
My first polks were the Monitor 60's and PSW10 in my sig, below.
Thanks Jimmie, and thanks polk !

Mid-1980s and a former college roommate told me about Polk offering tremendous bang for the buck. I was living in Concord NH and there was a shop called New England Audio (which lasted a long time but finally closed a few years ago) with a very generous upgrade policy - upgrade within a year and they'd apply whatever you paid for the older speakers toward the price of the new. I wasn't exactly rolling in dough so I started with the Monitor 5JRs, upgraded to 5s and then to the 7s (7C I think?) that are still my mains today. Love 'em and am looking for more vintage Polks now for secondary systems I plan to build.

2ch: CRS+ (1987), Outlaw 1050 AVR, Denon DCM-420 CD
Kitchen satellite 2ch: Polk M3II, Onkyo A-8037 integrated amp fed from Oppo, Yamaha TX-480 tuner
Awaiting assignment: Model 5 (1978-Danish Peerless), Monitor 5JR (1988), Model 4 (1983-US Peerless), PSW202 (NIB), etc
My first stand-up HT speakers were Polk Monitor 70's but it was my pair of Polk Monitor 10B's that got me into vintage audio period.

TRAVERSE CITY — Library services in Blair Township are a step closer to becoming a reality thanks to a $100,000 bequest to the Traverse Area District Library from the trust of former township leaders.
The Trust of Arthur and Mary Schmuckal made the donation about a year after the death of Art Schmuckal in November 2012, and 14 years after the death of his wife, Mary. The gift is restricted for use as a capital grant for the "establishment or enhancement" of library services in Blair Township, where the Schmuckals were community leaders and visionaries, TADL officials said.
Art Schmuckal founded Schmuckal Oil Co. in 1955 and was a Blair Township supervisor who wanted to bring a library to the community of about 8,210 residents, said current township Supervisor Patrick Pahl. He said the township library committee has been fundraising for the project for 14 years.
"They have been struggling and Art realized it and this was his way of giving it a push to make it a reality," Pahl said.
Currently the TADL network of community libraries includes the Woodmere (main), East Bay and Kingsley Branches, along with member libraries Fife Lake Public Library, Interlochen Public Library and Peninsula Community Library.
TADL director Metta Lansdale said the Schmuckals' gift represents a "new beginning" for a long-term effort.
"We are honored to be entrusted with this investment in the future of library services for Blair Township," she said. "As all parties know, TADL does not currently have the resources to operate an additional facility. As time progresses and TADL operational revenues improve, we believe this gift will take us a long way to this goal."
Schmuckal Oil Co. President Paul Schmuckal said his father believed there was a need in Blair Township for books, education and a library, but that the gift carries no deadline strings.
""Hopefully this will be a shot in the arm and help Blair Township and TADL work something out," Schmuckal said.

- Awesome shorts, long inseam for the style. (Review by Will)
First, if you hover between sizes, do yourself a favor and size down. They're stretchy shorts so if they feel perfect out of the dryer or in the fitting room, they will definitely become annoyingly loose if you're wearing them for more than just a day (backpacking, etc.). Also, I find the inseam too long as nothing annoys me more than having a hem tickling the back of my knee, so I cut off the bottom inch and a half and wear sweet soft shell jorts. You may not care.
Anyways, these are my favorite shorts and I am finally laying to rest my first pair after 6 seasons of field use. The zipper on the side pocket has finally died (maybe from picking up too much trash on trail). I love them so much that I might just sew the pocket shut and continue to use them in the non-work setting. Besides being fast drying, super stretchy (awesome for rock climbing and hiking up steep, rocky terrain), and lightweight, they are also ultra-durable. I have thought the fabric was going to tear for the last 3 seasons and it hasn't. Even extended contact with granite has left them without any holes. They certainly don't look new any more, but they are still solid which is where it all counts in the end. I can't speak highly enough of these shorts. It would totally be worth the money to get them hemmed if your length requirements are similar to mine.

A local dentist is again taking a "stand against sweets" this Halloween and offering local trick-or-treaters $1 per pound of candy they bring into her Lexington Smile Studio.
In addition to dollars, Fawn Fosenberg is giving away glowing electric toothbrushes in exchange for candy, which is sent to US troops in Iraq, along with toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash and letters from local schoolchildren.
"At this time of year, when there is so much candy available to children, we want to provide a worthwhile alternative," Rosenberg said in a press release. "Visiting your dentist twice a year and brushing and flossing daily are great preventative measures, but doing away with excess sweets altogether would really give your teeth a healthy boost. Kids can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating and now their piggy banks will benefit as well."
Unopened candy – no bites, please – and letters to the troops will be collected at Lexington Smile Studio beginning today, Nov. 1, through Wednesday, Nov. 21. It will then be shipped overseas, along with oral homecare products.

YORK — With longtime rival Clover next on the agenda, the York Comprehensive High School football team is in bounce-back mode as regular-season play winds down.
The Cougars, ranked in the top-10 in 4A classification most of the year, will be seeking to rebound from consecutive losses to Region 3-AAAA power programs Northwestern and South Pointe.
While the YCHS players have visions of making a run in the state playoffs, possibly to include another shot at Northwestern, South Pointe or both, head coach Bobby Carroll said the focus is the renewal of one of the Palmetto State's most celebrated rivalries.
The Cougars make the 8-mile trek to Blue Eagle Country Friday for the 7:30 p.m. kickoff in Memorial Stadium.
Carroll called upstart Blue Eagles a dangerous team under first-year head coach Chad Smith.
"In addition to the win over Lancaster, Clover's been competitive in a good many games against strong opposition this year," said Carroll. "They are the best 1-9 team in the country."
Carroll, who is familiar with Ladarius Adams and Clover's double-wing success, said Smith has generated excitement in Blue Eagle Country.
"He has the program headed in the right direction," said Carroll. "York-Clover is a great rivalry game. You can throw the record books out the window."
York senior linemen Quinton Killian and Shuler Littleton both say they know what the York-Clover rivalry is all about.
"We have the big rivalry game with Clover to prepare for and the playoffs the following week," said Killian. "We always look forward to playing Clover."
Littleton agreed. "We have to keep our heads up and put the South Pointe loss behind us," said Littleton. "We have the Clover game coming up, a big rivalry game that means a lot to our seniors."
After the Cougar's 27-10 home loss to South Pointe last week, Carroll lauded the Stallions' defensive front.
"That's probably the best defense we've faced all year," Carroll said. "We had too many mistakes and missed opportunities. The blame is on me. We've got to be ready to play each week."
The Cougars had the upper hand in the early stages of the game, mounting a 68-yard drive on the game's first possession that left the YCHS team one foot from the goal on third down.
But running back Ryan Moore was nailed for a loss at the five and Buddy Anderson's 22-yard field goal attempt narrowly missed.
A key play in the drive was quarterback DeShaw Andrews' 24-yard scamper to the South Pointe 40.
Later in the drive, with the Cougars in possession at the South Pointe 27, Moore advanced the pigskin to the eight, eluding would-be tacklers along the way.
After an exchange of punts, the Cougars were in business again, thanks to Daurice Simpson's electrifying punt return to the South Pointe 25.
Andrews' pass to Markel Castle advanced the ball to the 19. Later, on fourth down, Andrews found wide receiver Kyron Schrouder open and delivered a 19-yard scoring toss.
South Pointe answered with 37 seconds left in the first quarter when quarterback Zaylin Burris heaved a touchdown toss to teammate Kyle Brandt. The two-point conversion fell short, leaving the Cougars with a 7-6 lead.
The Stallions scored with 5:27 left in the second quarter and pushed across another score late in the third quarter.
Anderson's 33-yard field goal in the final seconds of the third quarter sliced the lead to 20-10 and the lead held, with South Pointe scoring on a 1-yard sneak in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
The Cougars will find out who their playoff opponent will be after Friday's game with rival Clover. A win would improve their seeding, while a loss would result in a tougher draw.

Heading into an offseason in which he's due to become an unrestricted free agent, Bears SLB Pisa Tinoisamoa said he's unsure if he will be back with the Bears or even if he'll be playing with any team in 2011. "I don't know if this is the end for me," he said earlier this week at Halas Hall. "It would be ignorant of me to say that it couldn't be that way."

I feel like I could keep on playing. I'm excited to get healthy and have another shot."

It wasn't that long ago when I sat at the "society desk" at The Tribune-Star. I learned that August was second only to June as the favored month for weddings. And, every so often, there is a program of providers of everything from flowers to wedding cakes and gowns. I suppose this is to assure that the happy event will be done "properly."
I can't explain the popularity of what is usually the hottest month of the year. Maybe it has something to do with the new start symbolized by the opening of a new school year.
I know that if my Best Friend and I had opted for an August wedding, I would have insisted upon a cruise to Alaska for the honeymoon. Still, people choose dates for their own reasons and who am I — who opted for a late November wedding — to second guess anyone?
Maybe a November wedding should have suggested a Caribbean cruise, but it didn't.
We chose November for what seemed logical reasons. Because of the proximity to Thanksgiving, our families would have no difficulty having time off to attend. Then, closer to our free time, we were both associated with schools and could expect to have a couple of free days around the holiday, although an extended honeymoon would have to wait until the Christmas holiday.
The November date settled, we faced the problem of where to stage the main event. I had lived too briefly in Missouri where my folks had moved while I was in college, so had no real ties there. I had never lived in my BF's home town and, apart from a few college acquaintances and my soon-to-be in-laws, I had no ties there either.
It seemed logical to be married in the all-faith chapel where I worked. It was an obvious choice.
We have taken a lot of kidding about it over the years. I was librarian in what was known back in those politically incorrect days as a girls' "reform school." My BF has had a lot of mileage over the joke that he had to get me paroled so that I could participate in the wedding party.
It was nice. My girls had a shower for me — aprons, pot holders and dish towels they had sewed and embroidered. The art teacher asked to preside over flower arrangements.
The school's superintendent had the chapel repainted and held delivery of my new library furniture so that our reception could take place in what would become my new library.
It's true that my "gown" was nothing special, but the knot was tied and has stayed tied. We managed to do it without bridal wedding planners. Imagine that.

Data released from a pilot kindergarten screen administered in the 2012-13 school year highlights the need for early childhood education and continued preschool intervention, said Mendy Mills, Madison County Schools instructional supervisor.
While Kentucky students are generally socially and emotionally ready to start kindergarten, "the majority are not ready to succeed academically," according a March press release from the Kentucky Department of Education concerning the screen pilot data.
"The results clearly show many of our students are starting school at a disadvantage, often without the basic foundation on which to build academically," the state's education commissioner Terry Holliday said in the release.
Madison County Schools was one of the 109 districts that administered the Brigance Kindergarten screen to 31,480 kindergarten students in 458 schools for the pilot.
Starting in the 2013-14 school year, every child in Kentucky entering kindergarten will go through the same screening, according to the KDE. Each year, more than 50,000 students enroll in public school kindergarten in the Kentucky.
"Until now, there has been no way for education officials, lawmakers and the public to get reliable, comparable data from across the state about how ready children are to start school," the release stated.
Of the 789 Madison County kindergartners screened in 2012-13, 26 percent of incoming students were ready for kindergarten, similar to the state percentage of 28.
However, 74 percent of Madison County students were considered "ready with supports," and 72 percent across the state fell in that same category.
"'Ready with supports' is such a huge range of the score," Mills said. A child could have been in the 25th percentile and the 80th percentile and still be considered "ready with supports."
The category is so broad, she said, and many of kindergartner's common errors on the screen would be corrected within the first few weeks of school.
For example, a child was asked to identify lower case letters and the first three letters were "d," "b" and "p" – which are commonly misidentified by children coming into kindergarten, Mills said.
When children were asked to identify colors, they had to say "magenta." Or, they were supposed to say "waist" when the teacher pointed to it, instead of "tummy" or "stomach."
As part of the basic screen, students are asked questions such as their name, letters, numbers and colors in three domains: Cognitive/General Knowledge; Language and Communications; and Physical Well-Being.
State pilot data revealed about 60 percent of children are average/above average in Cognitive/General Knowledge; 40 percent in Language and Communications; and 50 percent in Physical Well-being, according to the KDE release.
In addition to the basic screens, parents were asked to complete a social-emotional/self-help questionnaire that asks about personal qualities, such as whether a child uses eating utensils, brushes his or her teeth or can use the bathroom independently.
Of the 29,165 surveys completed statewide, around 80 percent of children were average/above average in social-emotional development and 71 percent in self-help skills.
However, Madison County teachers use additional assessments to guide instruction, Mills said.
The Fountas and Pinnell reading assessment is used to determine instructional level, she said. This assessment is used three times a year and is given through fifth grade.
The Add+Vantage Math Recovery assessment also is used to assess math skills, she said.
The Brigance Kindergarten screen is useful in "showing where students are when they come in," she said, and further highlights the need for early childhood education.
The data also will be shared through the Madison County Early Childhood Alliance, a partnership between school districts and local daycare centers to share information on kindergarten readiness.
Each member center is partnered with preschool and kindergarten teachers in the district to form "IMPACT triangles" in which they share ideas and discuss concerns, said Karla Willis, preschool director for the district.
IMPACT stands for Improving, Motivating, Preparing, Achieving, and Collaborating Together.
"The Alliance strives to improve the opportunities for children in our community to be kindergarten-ready on their first day of school," Willis said.
The Alliance developed a Kindergarten Readiness Checklist, which is supported by the state's early childhood standards. A readiness checklist will be given to parents as children are registered.
Madison County Schools kindergarten registration is April 16-18 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the school which the child will attend. Children must be five years old by Oct. 1 to register.
For a Headstart or preschool screening, call 625-6037.

In the first segment:
Guest - Richard Blanco
The fifth poet to read at a Presidential Inauguration, following in the steps of Robert Frost (1961) and Maya Angelou (1993), Richard Blanco's poetry explores the meanings of identity, place and culture and his story is compelling, having been "made in Cuba, assembled in Spain and imported to the United States."
*Several errors have been brought to our attention in regard to this story:
April is Child Abuse Awareness month, and San Antonio Sen. Carlos Uresti is calling for more volunteers to help increase the local message of saving children's lives.
Uresti said Bexar County showed an increase in the number of cases of child abuse in 2012.
"Sadly, last year we had 6,205 confirmed cases of child abuse just in Bexar County," Uresti said, adding that 20 of those children died from their injuries.
The back and forth on VIA's proposed modern streetcar continued Thursday night at a meeting to gather public input; the system is on track to launch in 2017, but many people are determined to derail the idea.
The proposed downtown system for San Antonio involves five miles of rail with one route traveling north to south through downtown, and the other east to west. Like most of the exact details involving the system, it's yet to be determined where the embedded rails and overhead powerlines would go.
Neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV's), haven't been allowed on San Antonio side streets since 2006, but they could be making a comeback.
Several serious accidents - often times involving young drivers - prompted a ban of such vehicles, sometimes called low speed vehicles, by the San Antonio City Council. That was seven years ago, but new state laws require them to be licensed and registered and an amendment to the Transportation Code allows the vehicles to travel on roads with a posted speed of 45 miles per hour or less.

Is CSCOPE an education resource designed to help struggling school districts? Or is it a vast anti-American conspiracy that uses Texas classrooms to convert children to Islam and communism?
CSCOPE is an online curriculum management resource developed by the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative (TESCCC), a group made up of the 20 education service centers in the state. The group develops their curriculum framework through several sources.
UPDATE 3:45 p.m.:
KTXI is back on the air at this time. We are grateful for your patience during the outage and we apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.
KTXI 90.1 FM lost its audio feed on Saturday morning and remains off the air at this time.
The power supply in the far end of the Studio Transmitter Link (STL) system failed, which is the link that has carried program audio over a T1 telephone circuit for the last 15 years.
Critics consider Ana Cervantes –daughter of a Nebraska (USA) mother and a Mexican father– "a physical, emotional performer, with extraordinary touch and mastery of tone and colour"; an artist of "commanding intensity," "great interpretive qualities and enormous passion".
Her special ability to function as interlocutor between cultures, her charismatic stage presence and imaginative programming which embraces both contemporary and traditional repertoires, have earned her the accolade "ambassadress for the music of Mexico".
Irving Berlin is one of those who could easily have written a couple of songs, then retired to fame and great wealth. But like most highly creative people, his life was one of ceaseless creation, to the very end. Among his more than 900 songs are three which might be described as his Holiday Big Three: "God Bless America," "White Christmas," and "Easter Parade."

WILMINGTON, Del. -- I am out of town on assignment today, but I had time to catch up on my reading on the train and found several good reads.
First and foremost, The New York Times tells us that it's not just the federal government that's taking an intimate look at Americans' lives. Meanwhile, local law enforcement is collecting DNA records of potential criminal suspects.
Back on the national scene, Politico reports that it may be difficult for the U.S. government to prosecute National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden for treason.
And Politico also reports that the former President Bill Clinton has broken with President Obama on Syria.

Sunday Steinkirchner, Contributor
I discuss the triumphs and challenges of being my own boss.
We work from our Manhattan apartment- a small home office is set up where our living room is supposed to be. This has always been the case, as we started selling books when the digital age had already begun, and it felt natural to do everything online. We never dreamed of opening a retail location. Fast forward eight years, and now opening a shop seems to be the ultimate route to growing our business. We're not entirely convinced this is true, so we constantly wrestle with the idea. Having run our business in a "home office" for almost a decade, we have a pretty good idea about what works and what doesn't.
Pros of a Home Office:
1) Flexibility! You can be anywhere and everywhere:
Theoretically, we could choose to run our business from a remote location in the Sahara if we wanted to. Well, hot and sunny desert might not be the best conditions for rare books, but you get the idea. True story: we did successfully run our business out of an apartment in southern France in 2007. The internet is fast, cheap and reliable, and we don't really mind the perks of working in our pajamas and making our own hours. Additionally, we're not the only ones in cyberspace- many collectors and sellers initially find us this way.
2) The option of a flexible "roaming retail" location:
If some customers still prefer meeting in person over doing business online, you can give them face time at trade shows, conferences or on business trips. We are happy to be in a business where trade shows are still one of the best ways to meet collectors. Despite the economic downturn and existence of the internet, strong attendance at shows tells us that the public still craves this venue (see my previous post on the benefits of trade shows here). And when you're busy traveling the globe on business, you won't have to worry about your shop back home, or pay someone to mind it.
3) You'll save money:
Ultimately, this is the number one reason we have stayed at home. With skyrocketing rents and other hidden costs (security, employees), the expense of a shop would be one huge nut to crack every month. Instead of putting our profit toward rent, we can re-invest it back into our inventory. Even retail giant Borders (bankruptcy Feb 2011, out of business July 2011) can relate to the perennial problem of expensive rent payments. They had too many stores eating up their cash flow and were in deep debt even before the 2008 market crash and the e-reader craze.
Cons of a Home Office:
1) You'll miss out on foot traffic:
You never know who could walk through your door one day and become your best customer. It's no wonder that rents are high (but ultimately PAID) in places like New York City, Palm Beach and Los Angeles- they are sure places to meet great customers. Despite the presence of the internet, an open shop can still be the biggest flag you can wave. Even small independently owned bookstores, which have been hit much harder by e-reader technology than rare books have, have multiplied recently (a 15.5% increase over the last two years.)
2) You're more anonymous:
While this could be good depending upon the trade you're in, some customers will never feel comfortable with you unless you have a brick-and-mortar shop. This can be an issue of accessibility, trust, safety or any combination thereof. A woman who came over recently was hugely disappointed after she huffed and puffed her way up our stairwell (that day, of course, the elevator happened to be out.) Upon finally entering our door, she looked around and exclaimed "I would have never agreed to come if I knew you didn't have a real shop!"
3) It's harder to separate your private life from your business life:
This is largely about making your work space more professional for your clients (or at least professional-looking), but it could also boost your productivity. It can also be a personal issue, as most people view the separation of work and play as a good thing. A physical separation from your work can provide a mental or emotional separation. When spending long stretches at home without business trips, it's our first inclination to spend every waking hour working. It can be hard to take a break and impose structured hours on ourselves, but sometimes the only way to relieve stress is to get out of our apartment.
We'll continue to weigh the pros and cons of our home office until we make a move toward a shop or professional office space. Join the conversation: what has worked for you, for or against home office-ship? Comment here, or contact me:

Books were taking over the house… got the shop, which is open only by appointment. Now have reclaimed the house, but confess, I do much business from my armchair here at home. That being said, like having a "street" presence. And in that vein, will tell you the story of a major London bookseller who has a shop, and whose BEST customer [e.g., 6 figure sales every year] just walked in one day to see what the place was all about.
To work from home i find is more easier because its flexible you are at ease .I do my Tarot and Angel card reading Healing and meditation sessions , even spiritual workshops (clients who wants one to one teachings) from home as its very spacious .My clients feels comfortable at my place .One has to be bit strict regarding the time limits you give to per clients as per the duration of their services as some clients have the urge of being over friendly and spending extra friendly with you when the next clients are waiting for your services and products.
One must be careful before giving your address whom you invite as your client and do keep their identity records in the entry -security offices before they enter your premises .
Always talk in phone or try to skype before you connect with your clients .
I have online healing and meditation sessions – Tarot and Angel card reading sessions are available in skype too .I make sure to talk and skype first for few mins with the clients before they deposit their fees in my account .I go with my gut feelings too .Please do that check.
Running a business from home feels comfortable as its independent and u save your extra expenses .
You can get clients through all social online networking easily if you use it well and give the marketing responsibility to a agency in exchange of some commission basis .So still you earn a lion share .
You can earn round the clock as you don't have any time limitations when you work from home Globally in person with clients or online services you can provide
I am happy and comfortable today ..only you need good space – good interior which is comfortable for your clients and essentials .So in low expenses you earn in cash ..
Kristna ..
There are many other things to consider when choosing to work at home or in an office: http://screenshotmonitor.com/blog/pros-and-cons-of-working-from-home-vs-working-from-the-office/#more-97

Staring at one's cell phone while riding public transportation has become commonplace in today's world, but transit police say this small, seemingly innocent practice could be contributing to electronic device thefts.
Between Jan. 1 and Feb. 26, there were 43 robberies on the MBTA system, according to a post on the MBTA Transit Police blog. Thirty-six of those 43 thefts – or 84 percent – involved electronic devices, most notably smart phones such as the widely-used Apple iPhone.
"Unfortunately, thefts of smart phones/electronic devices (most notably Apple products) is a nationwide trend," the blog post says. "This trend often referred to as 'Apple Picking' is for the most part a crime of opportunity."
The blog post provides tips on how to mitigate the chances your phone will be snatched while using the MBTA. Keeping the device concealed and switching to darker colored earbuds are helpful, the post says.
The post adds that most thefts occur near the train doors.

2011 Kia Sportage
dperdrix Posts: 1As an FYI I was able to secure a new Mineral Silver 2011 Kia Sportage SX Turbo at about 12% below the MSRP... With the 2012 version starting to appear it looks like a good time to pick up one of the remaining 2011... even if there are few if any rebates. My walk out price was abt $2,000 less then the MSRP and that included the states 6% tax. :shades:
well its been a year now and 11000 miles on it, the new intake is doing well even though I see the misfire code now as a software problem in the tsb page. So far so good , still a rough ride my wife calls it a jeep style ride. I will be back again for yearly reviews on this vehicle. have a great day

Two men who police say shot and killed a Richland Township man two weeks ago remain at large.
Multiple police agencies are searching for the gunmen who shot Robert T. Williams Jr., 38, in his Lydia Street home Jan. 3.
Williams died two days later at Memorial Medical Center from two gunshot wounds to the head.
"We're tracking down many leads we've gotten from the general public," Richland police Chief Michael Burgan said. "We don't have anyone we can call a person of interest right now."
Authorities are looking for two black males who might have targeted Williams, Burgan said.
Police are trying to determine if anything was taken from the home.
A child inside the home was not injured and is being cared for by a family member, Richland Detective Kevin Gaudlip said.
Police detectives, county detectives and FBI agents are reviewing surveillance videos from businesses in the area to help them identify the suspects, determine the direction in which they fled and if they were on foot or in a vehicle.
Cambria County Crime Stoppers is offering a $4,000 reward for information leading to the the arrest and prosecution of the two men.
Meanwhile, West Hills Regional police said they are closing in on the killers of a Lower Yoder Township man.
Two black males robbed Vincent Bloom, 38, of Norton Road on July 20.
They struck him in the head with a handgun, tied him up with an electrical cord, doused him with gasoline and set him on fire. Bloom died a week later at West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh with third-degree burns over 70 percent of his body.
West Hills police Sgt. George Musulin III declined to give details of the investigation but said charges are "imminent."
"We're still waiting on DNA evidence from the crime lab," he said.
Musulin said there is no connection between the two crimes.

Researchers have found an association between stricter school meal standards and the weight of students, especially those from low-income families.
States that require more nutritious school lunches than the federal government mandated were compared with those that did not, looking at 4,870 eighth-graders in 40 states. And, the researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. Pediatrics that students didn't compensate for the stricter standards by buying chips, cookies or other snacks elsewhere at school.
