HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 6, 2013 – Junior middle blocker Lizzy Briones (Siloam Springs, Ark./Siloam Springs) collected a match-high 19 kills, but UNCW rallied to win the final two sets in a 3-2 Colonial Athletic Association win over the James Madison volleyball team at Sinclair Gymnasium/Godwin Hall Sunday.
UNCW won by set scores of 22-25, 25-18, 16-25, 25-23, 15-16 to improve to 12-6 on the season and 1-3 in CAA play. JMU dropped its second straight match to fall to 6-10 and 1-2 in league play.
Briones hit .364 for the match, connecting for the 19 kills against just three errors in 44 attempts. The junior added four digs and two blocks. Freshman right side Janey Goodman (Powhatan, Va./Powhatan) added her first career double-double with 10 kills and 10 digs to go with two blocks while freshman middle blocker Hanna Radhi (Gainesville, Va./Battlefield) added four kills, four blocks and three digs.
Redshirt junior setter Kristi Richardson (Glen Allen, Va./Hermitage) contributed a double-double with 43 assists, 17 digs, four kills and three blocks. Sophomore MacKenzie Kleespies (Lincoln University, Pa./Avon Grove) made her second straight start at libero, finishing with a career-high 25 digs while sophomore defensive specialist Jaclyn Placha (Oakdale, Pa./West Allegheny) also set a career-high with 14 digs.
The Seahawks were paced by middle blocker Meredith Peacock with 17 kills and eight blocks. Peacock limited herself to two errors in 29 attacks for a .517 hitting percentage. Middle blocker Siera Young tied Peacock for a match-high with eight blocks while right side hitter Christi Laite and outside hitter Nicole Lott finished with 11 and 10 kills, respectively. Lott had adouble-double with 13 digs while outside hitter Morgan Kline and libero Lindsay Hartmann tied for a team-high with 24 digs apiece. Setters Alyssa Desjardins and Haley Collins combined for 52 assists and 27 digs.
UNCW outhit JMU .144 to .102 and held a big advantage with 17 blocks to Madison's seven. UNCW also collected 101 digs to a season-best 96 for JMU.
The match turned in the fourth set with the Dukes holding a 21-16 advantage. UNCW rallied to win the next four points and nine of the final 11 as it battled for the 25-23 win. Four different players recorded kills during the run for the Seahawks and two more chipped in on a block to spark the rally.
The fifth set was all UNCW as it quickly sprinted out to a 5-2 advantage. The Dukes stayed in it by winning three of the next five points, but a 5-0 run by Wilmington put the set out of reach. The Dukes eventually succumbed to the Seahawk pressure, falling 15-6.
JMU returns to the field next weekend as it closes out its eight-match home stand by hosting Towson and Delaware at Sinclair Gymnasium. Towson comes to Harrisonburg on Friday, Oct. 11 for a 7 p.m. match while Delaware makes the journey on Oct. 13 at 1 p.m.

North Carolina MOM volunteers work around the clock
Charlotte, N.C.—The volunteer dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants at the North Carolina Dental Society's Mission of Mercy program pulled an all-nighter Aug. 19.
|Waiting room: More than 2,000 patients spent the night waiting to receive dental care.
With more than 2,000 patients waiting in line for hours at the Charlotte Convention Center, NCDS and volunteers began delivering care at 6 a.m. Aug. 19 and wrapped up at 6 p.m. Aug. 20, working 36 straight hours.
"We took an opportunity to work straight through just for the novelty of it," said Dr. Bill Blaylock, director of the N.C. MOM program. "We knew the need was tremendous, but we knew also that we had enough practitioners in Mecklenburg and the surrounding counties to do that. Charlotte is probably the only place where we could do this."
It's another success story for an event that's recorded more than a few. Dr. Blaylock said that more than $1 million in free dental care was provided, and that was just one Mission of Mercy event out of 12 held throughout the state each year. "We have such empathetic dental practitioners in North Carolina, and they know the tremendous access to care need that exists in all states," said Dr. Blaylock. "This is not a health care delivery system; it's a way for dental professionals to give back to their communities for patients in need who have nowhere else to turn."
|Prosthetic expertise: Dental lab technicians from the North Carolina Dental Laboratory Association Inc., collaborate with volunteers.
North Carolina Missions of Mercy is sponsored by the North Carolina Dental Health Fund with additional support from corporate sponsors. NCDS continues to enjoy a collaboration with the North Carolina Dental Laboratory Association Inc., whose volunteers make prosthetics for MOM events.

|Download Choosing a profitable course around the globe* - Corporate taxation of the global shipping industry (3.5mb)
The aim of this brochure is to provide concise but introductory information about the corporate taxation of the shipping industry around the globe. This report is unique in that it presents a comprehensive and detailed comparison of the different regimes around the world. It serves as a practical aid for shipping companies in determining which register suits their particular needs best.
Today, almost all member states of the European Union have implemented a tonnage regime and increasing number of countries outside Europe are copying this tax regulation. Many countries in the rest of the world are winning ground compared to European countries. Since more countries implemented the tonnage regime, it has become easier for shipping companies to compare the various tax regimes with each other. This may result in increased tax competition in the future which is beneficial for the shipping industry. Some Asian countries apply a different tax system; many shipping activities are not subject to taxation in these countries.
We hope you find this publication helpful and look forward to hearing your comments and questions.

Old School Tunes
Clementine Revives Classic Amarok
Zonker takes a look at Clementine, a full-featured media player for Linux that can manage your collection as well as play your tunes.
Although people say they want change, they don't really mean it. At least not when it means trading the tried and true for an unfamiliar design. Case in point: The Amarok developers worked long and hard to update and modernize the user interface of Amarok, only to find many users preferred the old school media player. The result? Clementine, a player "inspired by" Amarok 1.4 but updated to take advantage of the Qt4 toolkit.

Classy, smooth, versatile, elegant and truly professional sounding. So easy to be used in a tasteful way. Brings things to life without the fuss. A terrific and affordable weapon and tribute to the past.
I often use EMT 140 Plug-In vs Vocal BUS, great space emulation always "at hand". Rival Music pays respect to UAD
On 80's I mixed a lot of classic albums here in Brasil at Transamérica Studios in São Paulo using the original EMT 240 and EMT 251 reberbs and when i tried the 140 UA Plug ins i came back 25 years and the new experience was amazing!
Jaw dropping. This is the kind of plugin that makes mixing more fun. It adds depth, width, and ambiance. It sounds great on all source material. Reverb plugins usually have really brittle, tinny, a/o false decay tails. I have tried a bunch of other plugins from IK Multimedia, Waves, and a few others. This thing buries them all in terms of sound and usability.
I have been really impressed with most of the UA plugins but this thing is off the scale. I use it on every session now and get amazing results quickly and without fail.
Sounds just like the original, lush, clear, and great tweaking capabilities. It's my go to plate reverb.
The DAWs I use have their own built in reverbs, so to buy another reverb for a back bedroom studio seemed overkill to me. Then I tried the EMT140 Demo...... I expected it to sound great (and it does!) but the surprise was how EASY it was to get a great sound. In very little time, and with only a few tweaks, you're there, you have a reverb that sounds great in your mix.
I've used many reverb plugins over the years and have always struggled to find one that I really can work with. I find most reverbs to be overly complex and even though I am somebody who uses presets as a basis and adjusts from there, if the options are overwhelming, I get frustrated. This plugin sounds great, but one of the main reasons that I love it is because the controls are few and straight to the point. You can easily adjust the sounds to your taste with the limited amount of knobs. I also want to mention that while most reverbs I always finding myself slowly turning down and down and down until there is a subtle ambience but not a really apparent reverb this might be the first reverb that beckons you to turn it up!
The original EMT plate reverb is a steel monster that needs an isolated vault of its own. With only rudimentary damping and EQ, it is more or less a "set and forget" creature. Instead of a soundproof room, the UA version (really three units in one) just needs a UAD card to run on. While lacking some of the more esoteric settings of other types of reverberators, this classic and classy reverb responds well to a bit of tweaking: for example, fine tune the frequency response to compliment the audio, using both the input filter and the reverb EQ. If you cut the low end or scoop out some mids, you can keep the level and reverb time up without muddying the mix, or you could boost the tops to to add a dreamy air to vocals or acoustic guitar.
Use the modulation control to add movement and harmonic complexity to shimmering sounds.
Try two instances in mono, panned Left and Right: this keeps the centre dry and there is much more sonic room to move.
Or exaggerate the pre-delay to keep the reverb out of the way.
Or send some signal from your delays into the reverb.
Don't be afraid to run an EQ after the reverb.
A great workhorse reverb, and of course you can run several instances at once!
Or use it alongside one of the other great UAD reverbs!
One last hint: make the reverb obvious and do your tweaking. When you are satisfied, drop the reverb level...less is usually more. Automate your levels (and even your tweaks) if you need the reverb to be more obvious at the end of vocal lines etc.
I think this is the best reverb for drums and percussions there is on the software market. It has a nice non-metallic sound, it's kinda hard to explain, very smooth. Way better than dreamverb in my opinion. Also nice when you put it to the Master-Out, EQ it just right and turn it on to 5%, it "glues" the end mix to one piece. And for this price it's better than tc.
I bought a lot of plugs from UA (projpak, fairchild, cambridge, precEQ, preLim, BossFX, LA2A, 1176LN and the Plate 140).
After i mixed a demo (using only the Plate 140 as reverb), i brought the tape to a professional audio-engineer (he had several hits in the german charts).
His comment: "the reverb is not very satisfiying...".
I trusted in all the comments and all the evaluations shown up in this area!
I recognized, not to trust in too many people - in the future i will trust my own ears.
Sure - plug-ins give you the possibility to get a certain quality to a low price.
But in my opinion it is only "good" but not "great".
There is a difference between hard- and software.
Please be honest.
Thank you, Bernie.
I'll have to be the lone dissenter here. I was disappointed by this plugin, after putting it through its paces. It's just murky and dull sounding. Dreamverb is probably my favorite UAD reverb. But put this up against Sonic Timeworks' gorgeous plate reverbs, or even TC-Helicons, all of which I spent a few days A/B/C'ing with, and it just sounds terrible.
I LOVE plates, and the UAD EMY 140 delivers! I use it every day!
It is lush and warm, and sounds like the real thing! It is a must have for any UAD user, and for everyone else who doesn't use UAD, your a moron!

Hi, update on the UAD version 6 1 is no longer my EMT 140. what do I do now?
Had the demo of this verb and suddenly found myself using it on vocals. Use a simple verb most of the time, but pull this one out when I need a great sounding reverb. Love it!
We were blown away at the brilliance of the UAD software suite. @Stampiemajor has seen this positively assist his vocals (rap and singing) and has gone on to purchase his own UAD Solo card.
Thank you UAD - you have created a real game changer with this one.
i just got this reverb plugin and it's awesome to have. It sound real smooth and bright.My friend has the real thing at his studio and it sounds just like the real thing. I'm loving it.
This reverb does something special. It's not a clinical reverb but rather a character one. I've been using it to achieve the Lord Huron/folksy/reverb wash effect on some of my recent songs. I love it! I love the ease of use. Having all the controls on the front panel is so helpful and everything is clearly marked. It's a winner!
Plain & simple... This is the best emulation I've worked with thus far, worth every penny it's being sold for..
Sounds Good instantly no hard work required. it Makes My life easier LOVE IT!!!!!
It takes just one word to review this plug-in: Beautiful.

RENO — The U.S. solar energy industry achieved a new record for installations in the third quarter of 2011 thanks to utility-scale projects, a rising residential market and low manufacturing prices, according to a report released by the Solar Energy Industries Association. Grid-connected photovoltaic installations grew 140 percent over last year. The growth of the industry reflects locally with Reno-based Hamilton Solar.
Hamilton Solar reported its most successful year since it's founding in 2008, having more than doubled its workforce and production. Over the course of 2011, the company grew from 35 employees to more than 60.
"In a time when America has been suffering to put people back to work, the solar industry has grown to employ over a 100,000 people – that's 20,000 more than the coal industry," said Reid Hamilton, partner of Hamilton Solar. "Rising energy costs coupled with decreasing solar prices, positions Hamilton Solar to have a fantastic 2012,"

General Program Questions
How long will my program take?
Education programs take 18–30 months and Adult and Professional Studies Programs take 15–19 months depending on the program specifics and student's pace. Please refer to the website for program details. Education credentials and graduate degree information can be found at apu.edu/education/.
Do you have job placement programs for your graduates?
Our on-campus Office of Career Services in Azusa helps current students and alumni to find jobs, obtain interviews, write résumés, etc. This office also hosts three career fairs each spring to assist both students and employers including the Career Fair (targeted to all undergraduate majors), the Nursing Career Forum (targeted to all undergraduate- and graduate-level nursing students and alumni), and Teacher Career Forum (targeted to credential, master's, and doctoral School of Education students and alumni). You can read more about Career Services at apu.edu/careerservices/.
Please also note that our academic departments help with job placement. For instance, if you were a business student, our School of Business and Management faculty and staff would utilize their networks to help you find a job that fits your goals. Given a low student-to-faculty ratio in the undergraduate program (14:1 in 2009–10), we are also able to capitalize on relationships that faculty have with local organizations.
Adult and Professional Studies
I have heard that you have an Adult and Professional Studies program (formerly Accelerated Degree Program) aimed at "mature" students. I would like information about this program.
Our School of Adult and Professional Studies (APS) program provides mature students with the opportunity to complete their undergraduate degrees. The degree completion programs are experience-based degrees for working adults, offering majors in five different areas: organizational leadership, management information systems/computer information systems, Christian leadership, liberal studies, and the RN to BSN degree program.
Designed specifically for the adult learner, the programs offer flexible class scheduling, convenient locations, accelerated curricula, and a simplified registration process.
You can go to apu.edu/aps/programs to find out more about these programs.
Are the Adult and Professional Studies (APS) programs accredited?
Yes. They are regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). You can read more about the university's accreditation at apu.edu/provost/accreditation/.
Graduate Programs
Are Bible classes required for graduate students?
No. Azusa Pacific University is an evangelical Christian community of disciples and scholars who seek to advance the work of God in the world through academic excellence in liberal arts and professional programs of higher education that encourage students to develop a Christian perspective of truth and life. As such, a Christian worldview is incorporated into each class within the graduate program, but graduate students are not required to take Bible classes in addition to the required classes for a program.
Application Process
I am interested in applying to the university. What does the application for admission entail and how would I apply?
You can apply to the university's programs online by going to apu.edu/apply and selecting your program of interest. From here, you can apply to our traditional undergraduate, our graduate, our international student, or our Adult and Professional Studies programs.

How soon can I start?
The application process should begin as soon as possible. Because one can encounter unanticipated obstacles, it is recommended to start your application at least six weeks prior to the beginning of a term to ensure that all the pieces can be processed. If you have questions regarding this matter, please contact the regional center you wish to attend.
How much is tuition for graduate and degree completion
The total cost of attendance for one year depends on the program. For general tuition and fees for graduate (master's and doctoral) degrees, not including any scholarships or financial aid, please go to apu.edu/graduateprofessionalcenter/sfs/costs/.

I am interested in applying for financial aid. What programs offer financial aid?
Traditional Graduate Students
Graduate Students are able to obtain financial aid in the form of employment, loans, grants, and scholarships. In order to serve the large number of students who need financial assistance, the university attempts to coordinate various elements of each student's financial aid program. This "packaging" approach may include assistance from two or more financial aid sources. The university's goal is to award all applicants the maximum scholarship, grant, and loan dollars for which they qualify, given restrictions on the availability of funds, institutional policies, and federal guidelines.
Types of financial aid for graduate students include the Federal Stafford Loan, Cal Grants, the APLE Grant (a competitive teacher incentive program), graduate fellowships, and other alternative loans. Other loans and grants are available to students in education, nursing, and theology. Please contact your graduate financial aid counselor to obtain more information on which aid you are eligible for, visit Graduate Student Financial Services, or contact the School of Adult and Professional Studies Student Financial Services at (626) 815-5300.
School of Adult and Professional Studies (APS) Students
What financial paperwork do I need to turn in before starting the program?
To begin the program you must complete and submit your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).
What if I don't get the loan and I have already started the class?
Unless you have defaulted on a student loan or are not a U.S. citizen, you will qualify for the loan.
When do I have to start paying back the loan?
Repayment of loans begins six months after dropping below half time, withdrawing from school, or finishing the program. Loans can be deferred as long as you are enrolled half time or more in school.
Do I only borrow once for the whole program?
You may borrow at least two times during the program.
What is your payment plan option?
Twenty percent of the term payment is due the first night of class, and four more equal payments are due on the 10th of each month, plus a $75 service charge.
You can visit the School of Adult and Professional Studies section of the website for more information at apu.edu/aps/. For more information regarding cost, please contact the School of Adult and Professional Studies at (626) 815-5301.
Visit fafsa.ed.gov to read about the FAFSA, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Vulnerability Discovered in Rsync
A critical vulnerability has been discovered in the Rsync file synchronization tool.
An error in the "f_name()" function in the "flist.c" source code file can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow when faced with over length directory names. Under unfavorable circumstances an attacker might be able to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability, which has been assigned the CVE ID CVE-2007-4091, affects Rsync version 2.6.9 and possibly others. The issue was discovered by Sebastian Krahmer from the Suse Security Team, and disclosed in Krahmer's blog.
An initial update and a patch that removes the vulnerability are already available. Users of Suse Linux can update using the online updater. Users with other systems can patch the source code and build a fix. Users that do not have either of these options are advised to restrict use of Rsync to trusted environments.

If you want to follow a whole food diet for losing weight, you need to understand what whole foods really are. Whole foods are actually ones free from preservatives, processing, modified ingredients, and processing. Whole foods come from the earth and are organic. They are celebrated because they are healthy and beneficial to the body compared to refined foods due to their lack of substances which are unnatural and nutrient-dense properties which allow them to oxidize in the body. Whole foods are great for weight loss because they have low calories and they give a feeling of being full which lasts for a long time.
Step 1
The initial thing that you should do is to hydrate. Water retention and excess weight from water would be a great place to begin with the whole food diet for losing weight. It is what you select to hydrate the body with that really counts. According to Elson Haas' book called "Staying Healthy With Nutrition", tap water is considered an unnatural and processed substance due to the trace mineral content and chemical fluoridation. Before consumption, it is advisable to filter water in your homes in order to reduce potential risks that may be associated with drinking water that is unclean. Water which has been filtered is considered as whole food. Make sure to stay away from carbonated drinks and sugary juices in order to decrease intake of processed sugars.
Step 2
Use whole grains in replacing refined carbohydrates from your diet. Simple and refined carbohydrates like bagels, white bread, tortillas, white rice, and Kaiser buns have actually been processed heavily until they are far from the original state when we finally consume them. All the processing that these foods go through will result in the loss of all or most of the nutrients which they possessed originally. These will then be fortified with nutrients which are synthetic, which makes it hard for the body to assimilate and absorb. Not only will consumption of refined foods give way to a diet which is deficient in nutrients, but the sugar which the foods contain will be broken down fast by the body, which will make blood sugar spike. Simple sugars which are excess in the body will then be converted into storage molecules by the lover and this is known as body fat. On the other hand, whole grains like quinoa, barley, and brown rice have all their original nutrients, without modifications or alterations, and this will be broken down slowly by the body in order to disturb levels of sugar on a lower scale and provide the body with a steady energy source. Whole grains can also leave the body with the feeling of being full longer compared to refined products.
Step 3
Opt for seasonal and fresh foods over those which are convenient and packaged. Foods which have been grown locally like vegetables and fruits are considered whole foods which increase chances of weight loss and promote healthy bodily functions. Packaged goods like cakes, cookies, and chips have contributions to weight gain, contain trans fat, and they increase risks of high cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases.

I see that I was too subtle the first time. I can be more direct.
Huseng wrote:The first question is that if liberation from samsara was so simple, why did Shakyamuni Buddha not teach it?
You see, this is disparaging a perfectly valid path of Buddhism. Please stop. Debate, even fierce debate is fine. In the form of Buddhism I practice it's a tool for learning and a respected method. But to claim that various paths that are well-validated and commonly accepted to be taught by Buddha Shakyumani are less than legitimate, not taught by the Buddha, "too easy" and so on, is not acceptable. At the very least it's disrespectful. And in particular it's unacceptable to claim that the Buddha never taught it. One can ask other members about the validity of practices xyz for his/her personal edification, but not discount it as one of the Buddha's teachings as a matter of fact.
The Buddha gave many teachings. Some were even given to Nagas originally. Shall we say that those are any less than our own because they don't jive with our own dispositions?
This is a formal warning and a need for further intervention in this thread will lead to this discussion closing. At that point someone can re-start a similar investigation or discussion if it is conducted in a manner which is more kind and respectful towards members of this tradition.

Governor Scott Walker continues to forge blindly ahead with his extreme rightwing agenda for Wisconsin, even as the winds of scandal are blowing ever stronger and are aimed right at him.
In a wide-ranging John Doe investigation now entering its third year, several of Walker's aides have been indicted for campaigning while working as members of his Milwaukee County Executive staff, while others are awaiting trial for embezzlement and child enticement.
A major campaign donor and former CEO of Wisconsin & Southern Railroad, William Gardner, was sentenced to two years probation and 100 hours of community service at a Milwaukee charter school last year for felony violations of Wisconsin election law for passing campaign donations to Walker through third parties.
Last week during the sentencing hearing of Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's former deputy chief of staff, the Milwaukee County DA prosecuting the case introduced a 78-slide PowerPoint presentation containing damning evidence that implicates Walker directly. Rindfleisch was sentenced to six months in jail and three years probation.
Late Monday, the Milwaukee County DA's office announced that they had come to a plea agreement with another defendant, long-time Walker associate Timothy Russell. His trial on charges of using his Walker-appointed position to embezzle veterans' funds was due to begin on December 3, but this new agreement will forestall a trial if accepted by the judge.
At a press conference today, Walker denied any wrongdoing and told reporters that it is quite common for campaign workers and the publicly funded staff of elected officials to meet and assist each other with coordinating schedules and policy statements.
"Having discussions with campaign staff about schedules, staffing, the media, sometimes they're related to campaign-related policy," said Walker. "That was the primary purpose of those morning calls and it's completely legitimate and ethical in every way."
That's his story and he's sticking to it. Reality and evidence to the contrary be damned.
Today's press conference was called to publicize the 2012 Annual Report on Wisconsin Homeland Security. Major General Donald Dunbar presented Walker with the report detailing the priorities and expenditures of the nearly $3 million budget.
More than half of the budget is dedicated to upgrading communications equipment and software for law enforcement agencies, and staffing the Wisconsin Statewide Information Center (WSIC), one of two Homeland Security fusion centers in the state.
The WSIC is the place where all of the information from Walker's "If You See Something, Say Something™" campaign is processed. According to Dunbar, the center was "heavily involved in processing over 80 Suspicious Activity Reports."
In early October this year, the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs' Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a blistering 141-page minority and majority staff report that skewers the Department of Homeland Security's fusion centers for ineptitude, disorganization, inefficiency, violations of citizens' privacy rights, and a massive waste of up to $1.4 billion.
Walker thanked Dunbar for the report and once again encouraged people to spy on their neighbors. "Folks in the public are our best partners in terms of reporting on things they see in the community," he said.
Always eager to push his ideological talking points, Walker answered a question about whether or not he supported Wisconsin Right to Life policy initiatives with a statement about how his administration has turned the state budget around and added, "I think people want us to focus on creating more freedom and prosperity for people in the state."
Walker then promoted his upcoming "Talk with Walker" tour where he will sell his five budget priorities to people in different communities around the state. In this video promoting the tour, Walker opens with, "We've taken big strides since I've taken office, particularly when it comes to changing the climate for businesses."
He added: "We (state government) spend less, the taxpayers of this state can spend more and that leads to a higher standard of living and greater economic growth."
Here are the priorities Walker laid out:
1) Job creation through deregulation and tax incentives
2) Workforce development in manufacturing and road construction trades
3) Education reform through union busting and high stakes standardized testing
4) Infrastructure development (road building, freight railways and harbors)
5) Government reform through creating efficiencies to "eliminate waste"
Those priorities probably will improve the climate for "job creators" by rendering labor and resources easier to exploit.
But the climate for the majority of Wisconsin citizens -- workers, school children, college students, elderly folks, family farmers, people facing homelessness, people without access to health care or health insurance -– will undoubtedly continue to decline.
The question I continue to ponder is this: How much more of a decline in civil rights and economic conditions will be necessary before people take to the streets again?

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 by Kristen Schaub Why choose bookshelf speakers? Bookshelf speakers may be small in size, but they can deliver surprisingly big sound. Some ultra-compact models even fit on a desktop. Most are right at home in tight spaces like shelves, so they're usually good choices for your home theater's rear channels. For the best performance, try placing bookshelf speakers on solid speaker stands to help the sound really "open up." If you want full bass impact, add a powered subwoofer and enjoy punchy sound that's as deeply satisfying as that of floor-standing speakers. Compact, versatile speaker for tight spaces Build your own compact high-performance home theater system around Definitive's ProMonitor 800. This versatile, easy-to-place speaker delivers spacious imaging and smooth sonic response — perfect for thrilling home theater sound. The sound will surprise you, but it shouldn't — the ProMonitor 800 uses many of the same technologies as Definitive's larger, more expensive speakers. You can place the ProMonitor 800 on a shelf using the included tri-lobed base, or mount it on your wall using the rear-panel keyhole slot for out-of-the-way placement. High-tech driver design for warm, rich sound The 4-1/2" woofer gets a big performance boost from the mid/bass radiator mounted in the top of the cabinet (see more photos). This clever design doubles the lower-midrange radiating area without increasing the size of the enclosure, and helps provide rich, lifelike sound. A 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter produces extended highs that reveal nuance and subtle detail without a trace of edginess. Options for stereo or home theater sound Use a pair of these speakers with any Definitive Technology powered subwoofer for full-range stereo sound. This speaker is voice-matched with Definitive's complete ProCinema series, and can be paired with any ProCinema center channel speaker. To create a high-performance ProCinema 800 system, combine four ProMonitor 800 satellites with Definitive's ProCenter 1000 and ProSub 800. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Overview: The Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 loudspeaker utilizes state-of-the-art components (BDSS driver coupled with a pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiator, a pure aluminum dome tweeter, a uniphase crossover network, and a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet with low diffraction construction) in order to achieve the most lifelike sound possible in your listening room. The ProMonitor 800 loudspeaker may be used in a 2.0-channel system as a full-range driver, in a 2.1-channel system as a satellite speaker with a powered subwoofer, or as a satellite speaker in a home theater system. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Pressure Coupled Radiator Design: The ProMonitor satellite provides clear, high-definition sound by pressure-coupling Definitive's exclusive BDSS technology driver to an equal-sized mid/bass radiator cleverly placed on the top of the satellite. This technique doubles the lower-midrange radiating area of the speaker without increasing the size of the enclosure. The result is a warm and life-like sound. BDSS Technology: Definitive Technology's Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) driver offers a wide-bandwidth accurate frequency response, broad dispersion, low distortion, and detail retrieval; so you hear more the music with greater accuracy and enjoyment. BDSS drivers incorporate the following design features. Balanced Double Surrounds: The speaker's balanced double surrounds support the cone at two points to provide better mechanical stability for longer, more linear excursion, and improved damping to suppress parasitic cone resonance. Mineral-Filled Polymer Cone: The ProMonitor 800 features a deeply drawn mineral-filled polymer cone engineered using sophisticated 3D modeling techniques for wide range performance. Waveguide: The cone's integrated waveguide smoothes off-axis response for broad, even dispersion and better imaging. High Temperature Voice Coil: The driver's high temperature, oversized, lightweight vented voice coil offers improved power handling and quick transient response. The voice coil is also lengthened to increase linearity and lower distortion. Magnet Structure: The driver's magnetic system is optimized by finite element analysis to maximize magnetic flux in the gap for high efficiency and linear excursion. Die-Cast Alloy Basket: The die-cast alloy basket minimizes ringing and vibration while the open area minimizes back wave reflection. Drivers: The Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 features a 4-1/2" BDSS driver coupled to a 4-1/2" pressure-driven planar low-frequency radiator, and a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter. Break-In Period: The ProMonitor 800 loudspeakers will sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability. The break-in period allows the suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a more open midrange, and smoother high frequency reproduction. Enclosure Design Non-Resonant PolyStone Cabinet: The Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 uses a non-resonant PolyStone cabinet with low diffraction construction. The speaker cabinet is available in a high-gloss black or white finish. The speaker's cabinet features a removable cloth grille. Connections Binding Posts: The ProMonitor 800 is equipped with a pair of gold-plated, 5-way binding posts to attach your receiver's speaker wire. Mounting Options Mounting: The Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 loudspeakers may be placed on a stand or shelf, or mounted on the wall or ceiling. The ProMonitor 800 features a pedestal foot which allows it to fit securely and safely on a stand or shelf. The attached pedestal foot can be removed to mount the speaker to Definitive Technology's matching speaker stand (ProStand, sold separately) or to wall-mount the speaker. The ProMonitor 800 can be wall-mounted using the rear-panel keyhole slot. In addition, there is a 1/4"-20 threaded insert on the back of the speaker so you can use Definitive Technology's optional mounting bracket (ProMount 80, sold separately), or other manufacture bracket (sold separately) to hang the speaker on a wall or ceiling. Note: There is a insert plug included which covers the hole in the bottom of the speaker which you will see after you remove the pedestal foot when wall-mounting the speaker. Placement: When used as front speakers, the ProMonitor 800s should usually be placed 6 to 8 feet apart and kept away from the side walls and corners. When used as rear speakers, take care never to locate the speakers forward of the listeners. The ProMonitor 800s may be angled in towards the listening position or left parallel with the rear wall according to your personal listening taste. Normally, angling the speakers in so that they point directly at the listeners will result in more detail and greater clarity.

Written By Peavey B., Houston, TX on Saturday, March 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was needing a small set of speakers to complete my media room. I had a 5.1 system and wanted to expand to a 7.1 setup. After talking with the Crutchfield team and letting them know all that I currently owned (model and manufacturer) they recommended Definitive Technology. I was amazed at the clarity these speakers brought to my system. The room is now sounding exactly as it should. After installing the speakers on their new stands (which are fantastic as well) I ran the Denon room setup program. The speakers have added so much to my media experience. I highly recommend this speaker. Paired with Boston Acoustic VR960s on the front, B&W FPM2s on the rear, M&K Sub, Definitive Mythos 7 center and a Denon AVR-2312CI Receiver.

The detail and sound quality is great and what you would expect from Definitive Technology speakers. These sound great next to my TV and with music. They have very good mid-bass, but lack bass in the bottom end. For their size, they do have a good amount of bass extension, but I would recommend adding the matching Definitive Technology ProSub 800. Pros: Compact, sound quality.

Pros: built very well. perfect size to hang on wall. Cons: none Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Perfect for my needs.... Written By DeanM, Ontario, CA on Sunday, May 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I use these speakers for my rear surrounds with Polk Audio towers and sub for the fronts. I needed to do this because I have built-in cabinet enclosures for the rear speakers, Polk bookshelf speakers did not fit the enclosures, and I had no other acceptable options. The speakers fit the enclosures very well and work perfectly for my needs. While the bass is not exceptionally strong, the mid-range is excellent, and the speakers fill the sound field very well when watching movies or listening to SACD or 5.1 audio applications. Plus, they look beautiful in my cabinet. Pros: Very good mid-range, very attractive appearance. Cons: Bass is not exceptionally strong, but this is not a drawback for my needs and uses. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

As a home theater speaker they are a small powerful replacement for my old three way Sony floor standing speakers. Very satisfied overall. Pros: Small, built in bass radiator. Cons: Mounting could be better if it was built in. The universal kits make them hang way to far out for a smooth look next to my tv. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Used as small mains in 2-channel background music setup Written By Chris, Georgia on Thursday, December 22, 2011 I recommended this to a friend to fit her requirements - "small as possible, good sound, white color." I hooked them up for her today, and we were both very pleased with the sound. They won't rattle the walls or anything like that by themselves, but they are great for room-filling background music and they have enough bass to sound fine. Really sounded great and filled the room with no problem, and according to her, they sound better than any speakers she's ever had in her house. I think that had a lot to do with me flatlining the EQ from its previous "smiley face" setting and the fact that she hated the old, huge, brown, Sansui SP-2000 speakers they replaced. Pros: Small size, white, good extension into hi and low for a small speaker. Cons: Nothing yet. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology ProMonitor 800 Written By Mark S, Margate, FL on Thursday, January 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) 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! 3 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked are these speakers good for a large room? [ Dan Jan 09, 2014 ] 7 answers Yes and may be. If youhave a A/V amplifier that runs dedicated 2ch stereo on each speaker, yes it will do with plenty of power. The maybe is related to how big is big and ultimately the function you are pursuing. I installed mine 5.1 on my basement which is about 900 sq.ft for my man cave (home theather+bar+pool table). I put about half+ volume and my wife could hear with clarity what was going on on our second floor. In a world of pesky neighbors and noise cancelation headphones, this speakers deliver a lot and you may well get complains from your next door friend if cranked to their full potential. I did research for quite a while and those are the only consistenly recommended by several A/V publications. My only recomendation is to buy the wall mounts. I use a shelf for the front ones and the speaker tends to bounce at high volume when harmonics makes the shelf and the speaker couple with their vibration. Still working to solve the problem. [ GREGORI Jan 15, 2014 ] Depending on the size of the large room. These are good quality, good sounding speakers but if you expect them to fill the room then will you may be disappointed. Either add a subwoofer to take some of the load off the smaller speakers or go with one of the larger bookshelf speakers in the DefTech line. Hope this helps guide you. [ TYRONE Jan 10, 2014 ] I returned those 800s without hooking them up to get 1000s because I was going to be buying stands anyway. I have no doubt 800s would have sufficed for my room as the 1000s are really filling my midsize room well. [ DIMPLE Jan 10, 2014 ] Bought these for my son. He has them in his living room and is blown away by their quality of sound. His room is approx. 20 x 24 with 10 ft. ceilings. His wife was impressed and she was in the kitchen. [ Richard Jan 09, 2014 ] I have 4 of these in a surround set up. Living room is large and open floor plan with dinning room. The sound is much bigger than expected. I did up the sub to the 10" prosub and glad I did . Overall very pleased with the sound quality. Can turn up very loud without distortion. [ Richard Jan 09, 2014 ] Dan, It depends on what else (if anything) you plan to use with it. For use in a large room you would probably want to at least pair them with a subwoofer. By themselves they may be a little small for a large room and lack bass unless you plan to use them for background music. I currently use them as rear surround speakers combined with BP8 towers, SuperCube8000 and a ProCinema1000 center channel in a fairly large basement and have been very pleased with the result. Overall, Definitive speakers are outstanding and in my opinion some of the best on the market. I hope this has been helpful to you.

Therese York thought she'd organised everything for her wedding to husband Paul on Saturday, June 9, 2007.
Newcastle Anglican Cathedral was booked for 3pm.
The reception was at Souths.
The gown. The cake. The flowers. The cars. The photographer. The balloon arch. Accommodation for interstate guests. The hairdresser on the morning of the big day. The relaxing manicure.
''It was a wedding for 90 people. We had everything organised,'' said Therese this week.
VIDEO: The Newcastle Herald remembers the Pasha storm.
But what they hadn't counted on was the mother of all storms that hit the NSW coast on June 8, 2007, with Newcastle copping the brunt of it; a storm that continued to rage through that Queen's birthday long weekend.
And what Therese hadn't counted on was being upstaged by a ship.
The grounding of the Panamanian bulk carrier Pasha Bulker on Nobbys Beach at 9.51am on Friday, June 8, 2007, made international headlines.
It was the most dramatic event on a weekend of tragedy, outstanding heroism, fear, loss, the kindness of strangers and community spirit, played out during an extraordinary sequence of weather conditions.
And among all that, Therese and Paul York were married.
The Pasha Bulker had been stranded for a few hours when Therese and a friend headed for a manicurist near Civic Park at 3pm.
''When we came out the water was way past our knees as we tried to get to the car. Cars were already floating by then,'' she said.
They made it to Souths at Merewether by 5pm to prepare the wedding reception area.
''We parked up the hill near Merewether RSL because there was already flooding by then,'' she said.
Paul York joined his future wife at the club, but powerboards in the basement were already under water.
''What I remember is putting glass vases on the tables and they started shattering, by themselves. We were putting them on the tables and they were exploding. About five of them just exploded because of the conditions,'' Therese said.
Five members of the wedding party were ordered to stay in the club as the storm raged. Early in the morning, when conditions eased, they were allowed to leave.
''At 2.30 in the morning on our wedding day we decided to bolt and get home,'' she said.
A few hours later she knew the wedding ceremony would go ahead as planned, but a reception at the stricken Souths was impossible.
''I started ringing everywhere I could think of to see if we could move the reception,'' she said.
By 1.30pm she had booked Newcastle Workers Club. The two clubs worked together in the following hours to give Therese and Paul York a reception to remember.
There was no balloon arch, the glass vases were history and due to short notice the Workers Club menu for the 90 guests was restricted to steak. But the cake arrived from Rutherford without incident, and Therese didn't mind being upstaged by the Pasha Bulker after her interstate visitors made quick detours to Nobbys.
Like many people, Therese and Paul York compromised, improvised and relied on the goodwill of others.
They even appreciated the Pasha's extended stay. ''I didn't get to see it before the wedding because I was so busy. We went to Fiji for two weeks on our honeymoon and the Pasha was still there when we came back so we had a look.''
Each year the Pasha Bulker anniversary prompts media interest, and Therese and Paul York receive congratulatory calls from friends.
''As soon as they think of the Pasha Bulker, they think of us,'' she said.
The storm that hit the east coast of NSW on that weekend five years ago, with its greatest force directed at Newcastle, is recognised as one of the most expensive natural disasters in Australian history. The final damages bill was $1.5 billion.
But the cost does not reflect the overall significance of the storm on the people who lived through it, and on the region's history. It also does not take account of the lives lost.
Within a few short hours eight people in the Hunter and on the Central Coast died. The following day the toll rose to nine.
Wayne Bull, 45, of Adamstown, died when he was swept from a car in the swollen Styx Channel at Lambton on June 8.
Robert Jones, 59, and wife Linda, 50, died when their vehicle was washed off a causeway at Clarence Town on June 8.
On the Central Coast Adam Holt, 30, his partner Roslyn Bragg, 29, their children Madison, 3, and Jasmine, 2, and their nephew Travis, 9, died when part of the Old Pacific Highway at Somersby collapsed under their vehicle on June 8.
Nigel Beeston, 29, died at Brunkerville on June 9 when his car was crushed by a falling tree only a kilometre from his parents' home.
The families of those who died endured the deaths, subsequent investigations, and inquests.
On the anniversary of the Pasha Bulker they remember the loved ones who didn't make it home.
''I think the anniversary is more a day to get through and it's a day for people to remember, but for those who lost loved ones, we deal with it every day,'' said Julie Bull on the first anniversary of her husband Wayne's death.
Nigel Beeston's family, who set up a park at Brunkerville in his honour, endured an inquest that concluded his death was a ''freakish accident''.
''It's hard every day, every single day, and it changes your life completely. You can never go back to what it was because they're gone, and you can't change that,'' Mr Beeston's mother Lynda said.
In June, 2010, the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research (CAWCR) – a CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology partnership – produced a report describing the development and progress of the storm.
The report noted that while the ''intense extra-tropical low pressure system'' that hit the coast was well-predicted by medium range global forecast models some days in advance, ''a number of challenging forecast issues emerged''.
These included rainfall rates and patterns on extremely short time scales, making flood warnings difficult; and development of a small low-pressure system with an ''eye-like structure'' that crossed the coastline close to Newcastle shortly after 3pm on June 8. This produced rainfall of 466mm at Mangrove Mountain, and more than 350mm in Newcastle over 36 hours.
Winds on the coast exceeded 45 knots with gusts over 55 knots for most of an 18-hour period. Gust peaks were recorded over 70 knots.
Maximum wave heights of more than 14 metres were recorded.
The Pasha Bulker was enough of an extreme weather event to prompt the NSW regional office of the Bureau of Meteorology to meet in August, 2008, to discuss the storm and how its development could be used to improve forecasting of similar weather.
Many features of the storm ''had not previously been documented'', CAWCR concluded. Newcastle Port Corporation chief executive Gary Webb was well aware of the extraordinary nature of the storm.
When lives had already been lost, Webb recalls telling his own people: ''We will not lose any lives''.
The Port Corporation responded to issues raised in later investigations, including an Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigation. But Gary Webb points to the effectiveness of the incident control system that weekend, and equipment and personnel improvements since, to demonstrate the corporation learnt from the experience.
It's nearly five years since Karen Cook was stranded in a neighbour's house at Teralba with her son Tom, then 12, her neighbours, their young children, and raging floodwaters already rushing through the house.
But the passage of time has not erased the emotions of that night, and hearing a 000 operator say there was no one to help them because of the number of emergency calls, and could they get on the roof?
''It was terrifying. Absolutely terrifying, and we had young children,'' Karen Cook said.
The memory of the hours they spent in the dark house while Cockle Creek roared and rose brought back tears this week.
When Karen drove home from work at Glendale after 5pm on June 8 she knew the weather was atrocious.
''We're across the road from Cockle Creek, and down the back of us is the wetlands, so we were inundated from both sides,'' she said. ''Cockle Creek was raging. It was like nothing I've ever seen.''
Floodwaters quickly cut off road exits.
''Tom and I were a bit panicked. But even as we lifted things up before we went up to our neighbour's house I wasn't really thinking that water would go through.''
By the time they left for their neighbour's house, water was lapping at the back door.
It wasn't long before the neighbour's house was also threatened. Water was ankle deep and rising extremely quickly when they rang 000.
The power went, the water rose, Karen Cook and her neighbours knew climbing onto the roof with children as young as three in a raging storm was not an option.
The neighbour's husband wrestled his boat through the water and tied it to a point on the house. If the house became unstable as the wild water rose, at least they had a boat, Karen said.
Water was deep through the house when emergency crews reached them by boat. It wasn't until 6am on June 9 that her parents located Karen Cook and her son at an evacuation centre.
Her home had been inundated. Water ran through it at more than waist height.
Exactly one year after the Pasha Bulker, on the Queen's birthday long weekend of 2008, Karen and Tom Cook returned home after living with her parents.
Her house had been lifted by a metre, and its interior gutted and rebuilt.
The events of that night took a toll. Tom Cook had nightmares. Karen Cook was ''anxious''. ''I think anxious is the right word.
''I was just very emotional about the whole thing. I would see people who live in the area who were part of the rescue and every time, I'd get very emotional because it would all come back.
''We lost everything, and I found it very hard to accept people's charity, but the fact is that people wanted to help, and we weren't even the worst off.''
Karen Cook is a friend of Therese York. She didn't make it to the wedding.
''I couldn't go to Therese's wedding because I'd just lost everything, but we were alive.''
