Pierre chasing Hall of Famers
By Freddy Berowski
Juan Pierre is on the move again – but this time it's not on the basepaths.
Pierre, the active career steals leader with 459 whose playing time was limited over the last year and a half due to the Dodgers' acquisition of Manny Ramirez, was dealt on Tuesday to the Chicago White Sox, where he will become their new left fielder and leadoff man. It will be Pierre's fifth team in what will be his 11th big league season.
"Juan always put the Dodgers first, even when it wasn't in his personal best interest," said Dodgers GM Ned Colleti.
Pierre currently ranks 47th all-time on Major League Baseball's stolen base list. At 32 years of age, before all is said and done, Pierre should have no problem moving up considerably on that list. But the question remains, how many more steals are left in those legs?
At 1,406 steals, Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson is baseball's all-time stolen base king, and the only player in history to steal more than 1,000 bases. When Henderson was 32, he was ready to begin his 13th major league campaign and was only two steals shy of Lou Brock's then record 938 steals. Rickey went on to play 25 seasons with nine different teams before hanging up his spikes for good and ultimately earning enshrinement in Cooperstown this past summer.
Pierre might not match Rickey's mark of 1,406, but he could pass several Hall of Famers while moving up the all-time steals list. Pierre has averaged 45 steals per year since 2001 and should pass Hall of Famers Tommy McCarthy and Willie Keeler in 2010. He may also pass Hall members Paul Molitor, Fred Clarke and Luis Aparicio next season as well if he stays healthy.
One thing Pierre has going for him is his work ethic.
"I've never seen anyone who works like him – never" said Pierre's former batting coach with the Marlins, Bill Robinson, "He's hungry for knowledge, hungry to learn, hungry to play. It's beautiful. He's a delight."
If Pierre maintains a stolen base rate close to his average over the next three seasons, by 2013 he will have also passed several more Hall of Famers: Bid McPhee, Hugh Duffy and Ozzie Smith, and in the process crack the top 20 on the all-time list.

It analyzes how governments and IP owners assess the interplay of these laws during the course of creating, exploiting and/or transferring intellectual property rights, and the manner in which the competition law/intellectual property law interface plays out in the international arena. The course explores how courts and administrative agencies weigh and resolve disputes between IP rights holders and government authorities, competitors, and consumers in a variety of business contexts, such as refusals to license technology, product integration of various technologies and products, standards setting and patent pooling. A prior course in antitrust/competition law is recommended but not required.

Liver failure - discharge; Liver cirrhosis - discharge
You have cirrhosis of the liver. Scar tissue forms and your liver gets smaller and harder. Most of the time, this damage cannot be undone. However, the problems it causes can be treated.
While you were in the hospital, you may have had:
Your doctor will talk with you about what to expect at home. This will depend on your symptoms and what caused your cirrhosis.
Medicines your doctor may prescribe are:
Do not drink any alcohol. Your doctor can help you stop drinking.
Limit salt in your diet.
Ask your doctor before taking any other medicines, vitamins, herbs, or supplements that you buy at the store. This includes acetaminophen (Tylenol), cold medicines, aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), naproxen (Aleve), and others.
Ask your doctor if you need shots or vaccines for hepatitis A, hepatitis B, lung infections, and the flu.
You will need to see your doctor for regular follow-up visits. Make sure you go to these visits so your doctor can check your condition.
Other tips for caring for your liver are:
Call your doctor or nurse if you have:

How do you know what kind of sensory table to get? Choose from our great selection of sand tables and water tables. Little ones will just love coming in to school to find out what new material you have filled your sensory table with. Sand and water tables offer unlimited possibilities for classroom fun and hands-on educational activities.
Why should I get a sand and water table?
Sensory tables help children build important skills as they play. Handling different mediums with hands and tools facilitates development of pre-writing skills and hand-eye coordination. As little ones practice pouring and measuring, they develop critical fine-motor skills. Sand and water tables are also designed so that many children can play together which encourages cooperative learning and teamwork.
What style sensory table is right for me?
You can choose between plastic and metal water tables for kids or wooden tables with a plastic tub insert. Plastic is a more budget-friendly option, while wood has a natural look that will coordinate well with other preschool furniture. Sand and water tables from Wood Designs are constructed from natural wood with a healthy eco-friendly finish. Their corners are rounded to prevent injury. We also offer great models from Children's Factory and Childbrite.
Great sensory tables make the perfect preschool learning center. You can designate a corner of the classroom for exploring different materials, so children will come in each day with a renewed sense of curiosity. You can fill your table with water, sand, rice, beads, cereal, soil and just about anything else you can think of. You can also vary the tools you provide to manipulate and explore the medium in the tub.
What are the advantages of a clear sensory table?
See-through sensory tables offer a unique opportunity for observation. They enable young learners to view the properties of various materials from all directions. This will engage students who are actively manipulating various mediums as well as other children who may be watching nearby or looking on from a distance. Another excellent option is a kids water table that is divided down the middle so you can put a different material on each side.
Where can I get a portable water play table?
If you have a smaller learning space or you want more flexibility, casters are a convenient option. We have a number of water play tables on wheels which can be transported between classrooms or for special events. With this arrangement, you can save money by sharing sand and water tables between classrooms rather than ordering a separate one for each room. It also enables you to take sand water tables outside on a nice day for an extra outdoor activity. Additionally, if space in a particular classroom is limited and you want to work on sensory skills at certain times, you can wheel the sand and water table in and out as needed.
Should I get a sand and water table with a lid?
Many of our sensory tables come with lids. This is a helpful feature because it prevents stray objects and dirt from mixing in with what you have in the table. It is also a space-saving option because, when you put a lid on your sand and water table, you can use that surface like a regular preschool activity table. This gives you an extra work surface that is readily-available whenever you need it.
We have a selection of sizes for little ones and older students. Both junior size and large tables are available. Junior size tables let you enjoy the benefits of a sand and water table, even if you are limited on classroom space. Large water tables for kids are great for group activities. Toddler-size tables are just right for your youngest charges, so they can start developing their skills even from a very young age.
Hertz Furniture's wide selection of educational and fun sensory tables offers great choices for your preschool, daycare or kindergarten. No matter how large your classroom is and how many students you have, you can find a great sand water table that fulfills your needs. If you need help choosing from all of the wonderful options, contact the Hertz Design Center.
Tables are one of the fundamental units of office furniture. Round tables, adjustable height tables, foldable tables, and portable folding tables are just a few examples of the many varieties of tables you could use for your office.
How to select the right table? Well, start by deciding what your needs are. Will this table be for a school, institution, or small office? Round tables help people interact with one another while rectangular tables provide more privacy. Adjustable height tables are ideal for classrooms where different age children will need to sue the table. Foldable tables and Portable Folding Tables give you the added flexibility of tables that are easy to move and store.

Audioengine A5+ Written By mark, Maryland on Monday, March 02, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Never heard of Audioengine before. I was going to buy a set of Klipsch and after reading some of the reviews became a little reluctant to invest in the brand names. One of the reviews mentioned Audioengine Speakers. The more I read about them the more confident I felt in giving them a try. Boy was I surprised. These speakers are great. I like to listen to not only quality sound but I like it load as well. These Audioengine A5+ speakers have both. If you like great realistic sound loud or soft you should buy these speakers. No hiss, No distortion hands down the best.
Audioengine A5+ Written By art, hudson valley NY on Wednesday, September 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I own or have owned several high end brands of stereo speakers as well as speakers for my computers. I was looking for yet another level of quality and found it in the A5+. Hands down the best speakers for my computer and even better than some of my stereo speakers. I ordered the sub woofer which may be overkill for sitting at a desk, but i am glad to have it for when i want to fill the entire room with deep rich sound. I also added the cambridge Dac Magic 100 which also adds to the quality of sound. I am extremely happy with all three products. The Crutchfield support team has been excellent as well. Pros: everything was easy to set up and the sound is great. The energy saving standby is easily used from the remote. Cons: On off switch in the back of left speaker.
Great pair of powered speakers Written By Gene, New Jersey on Sunday, August 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers to replace my preamp, power amp, and speakers in a compact, remote volume control package. They don't sound quite as good, but I find them enjoyable and convenient enough to keep them. I have them on 24" stands which is a good height. They have warm punchy bass that make music fun, the highs are smooth and crisp. Only in the midrange does it fall short, not quite portraying "you are there" vocals. My room reinforces bass very well and I could live without a subwoofer but will probably get one at some time. Connect these to a great DAC (I am using the Centrance DacMini) and in a small space you are set. Pros: Warm punchy bass Compact and convenient Easy setup Remote control Excellent value Cons: No grilles / covers Won't play at very loud levels without sound quality deteriorating More cable clutter than a typical speaker
Great sound!! Written By Jared B, Woodway, TX on Saturday, August 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading through good review after good review, I had to give them a try. They look good and they sound even better. I was surprised how much low end these sized speakers put out no matter the level. I listen to audio with a flat EQ for the most part, but you can really make them shine with a little tweaking. With the flat EQ, I use a Schiit Modi DAC, which also makes audio come to life. So it's pc->DAC-> A5+. I did purchase a Polk PSW108 sub or round out the low end. I don't have them far enough apart since they are on my desk, but they sound great to me. Very great product! Pros: Clear sound Good low end for the size Multiple inputs and outputs Looks good (got the black ones) Cons: Need a tiny bit more room. I have them about 3-4 ft apart on my desk.
Audioengine A5+ Speakers Written By Mike, Bryan, TX on Monday, June 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had a pair of these speakers for my computer for a very short time (a little over a week) but so far I really like them. The sound is clear and clean and the base is good enough so that a sub woofer is not necessary. But I like the idea of being able to attach a sub woofer later if I decide I want to. I have only run them at low volume so I am not aware of any high volume issues; good or bad. I purchased these, having never seen them or heard them, because of the research I did. I wanted better speakers than the average computer speaker especially for listening to music. Also, the helpful people at Crutchfield from whom I bought these spoke highly of them.
Great product and great customer service Written By kindleboy, Nashville, TN on Sunday, June 22, 2014 I bought a pair of Audioengine A5 speakers from Crutchfield in May of 2011. Shorty after the 3 year warranty expired, I noticed that the amplifier for the right speaker had gone bad. I contacted Audioengine and they asked me to ship them the speakers - I did this and they promptly replaced the old A5 speakers with a new pair of A5+ speakers. I was very impressed with the fact that the replaced the speakers even after the 3 year warranty had expired by about 3 weeks. Additionally, they shipped me the new speakers very quickly - I had the new A5+ speakers in about a week. I cannot speak to the quality of the A5+ speakers just yet, but the A5 speakers were amazing and I loved them. Based on the reviews I have read, I trust the A5+ speakers will be just a good, if not better, than the A5s. Bottom line, Audioengine makes a great product and their customer service is just as great. I highly recommend Audioengine. Pros: Great sound for active speakers. Perfect for use with computers and/or Airplay via an Airport Express Great customer service from Audioengine Cons: None
Audioengine A5+ Written By Anonymous, QUEENS, NY on Saturday, June 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Audioengine A5+ is a pair of very good desktop speakers. It may lack some high-frequency detail and delicacy, but offered outstanding bass control and transparency. Pros: - overall sound qualities are very good. - has a built in 50Wpc dual class-AB monolithic amplifier. - price is reasonable. Cons: - none.
AWESOME Written By Dunamis, Hawaii on Wednesday, June 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are incredible, the sound clarity is amazing. I truly love these speakers, my neighbors probably don't share my opinion. Oh well... Pros: Easy set up, great sound, just the right size, looks great and affordable... Cons: I have neighbors...
Audio Engine A5+ Speakers Written By Anonymous, Evanston IL on Sunday, May 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Audio Engine A5+ speakers are my most recommended speakers for folks who need a space saving, awesome sounding speaker for any mid-size room. I have purchased four pairs of A5+ and they never fail to impress. Pros: Compact Size, Crisp, clear highs and wonderful rich lows. Ample power. Extremely easy set up! plug & play! Cons: None
Excellent speakers Written By Scott, Fredericksburg, va. on Saturday, April 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I sent an email asking, what would be the best speaker to pair with my Dragonfly DAC? Kyle suggested the AudioEngine 5+. I had done my own research on them before, but thought they were little pricey. But taking Kyle's advice I went for it and was that ever the right choice. These speakers are AMAZING. The booklet that accompanies the pair says to give the speakers 30-50 hrs before any critical listening, that being said, It's hard to believe it only gets better. I can't wait until then and I will be sure to add to this review at that time. Thanks to Kyle and Crutchfield, my Desktop has never sounded better..... Pros: Excellent sound reproduction out of the box. Great looking speakers. Easy to connect. Cons: I used to think price, but it is honestly worth it!!
Audioengine A5+ Written By artief, pennsylvania on Saturday, March 22, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I absolutely love the sound quality and the construction is sound and strong
Audioengine A5+ Written By JD, estes park colorado on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We just got the speakers and love them. there is less than 40 hours on them so we are just getting used to having great sound. (compared to basic computer speakers). living in the Rockies we get poor reception fro FM rradio and can't listen to local radio. Now we can get wireless content from our computer and listen to radio from around the world. Pros: wonderful sound Cons: they are pretty big for a desktop. We will hang them up off the desk...
awesome product Written By steven j, baltimore on Sunday, March 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I could not be happier with this product. excellent quality for a great price. these are some of the best sounding speakers I've ever owned. Pros: great quality. solidly built. excellent sound. Cons: none
Outstanding speakers Written By Tim E., Houston TX on Friday, January 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought a pair of the Audioengine A5+ after having looked closely at the Bowers & Wilkins MM1. I am convinced that I made the right choice. I have a set of B&W CM speakers on my entertainment system, which I am also very happy with. But, I also believe that the A5+ was the better (and cheaper) choice for computer speakers. Note: these speakers are large. Pros: Sound quality, clean appearance with simple lines Cons: Might be too large for some desk tops.
Love it! Written By Km, Maine on Friday, January 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are excellent for the money and will not disappoint. Pros: Crisp highs and great mids, brings your music alive! Cons: Not for super low "bass"
Awesome monitors Written By OT, Sault Sainte Marie, MI on Monday, January 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm not an audiophile, but the music I listen too is very different then any general listener, I listen to a lot of Jazz, Hindi, Pakistani, Pop, Rock, and Tech music, therefore any reviews out there for me becomes a bigger question as most of Hindi and Pakistani music have a very different beat and instrumental presentation, but A5+ being so true to what you want to hear made it very simple and nice for me, at loud volume they tend to distort a bit but I never listen that loud no matter what, I also added a S8 sub to it and tuned it to 65hz so the blend is very nice, also im using DACMagic 100 which I think is also an amazing DAC to purchase, so I don't know what you are trying to achieve from your stereo setup but A5+ will not let you down I can assure that. Also I want to thank Crutchfield staff as the monitors I got on the first place had a bit of buzz in it, but the tech guys immediately sent me the replacement. Pros: looks, quality, packaging Cons: only if they can have high pass filter so if you want to set them according to your needs you can.
Big Quality small $ Written By Ralph, Athens on Sunday, January 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) For the money it's top of the line for a powered desktop. Really I think they're more shelf speakers then computer bookends. I returned the white for bamboo because they have ended up in the den. Our primary source is off an iPhone and i pad air. I gave them 5 stars because of the sound and quality for the price but I have listed a couple cons for lacking features. Pros: We'll built, heavy, sounds great even streaming online music. Beefy enough for shelf speakers in my opinion. Comparing the white to the bamboo I feel a richer warmer sound comes from the wood. Cons: USB plug is strictly for charging it should be for audio as well a quality DAC. Also you get a humming or buzz when you are charging off the speaker (USB) plug and playing that same device, that's silly and I should probably remove a star but I won't.
Good Office Spkrs Written By Duditude, DE on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Put these in the home office, nice set, no need for an amp, plenty of power for an office. Pros: Small, plenty of power, w/o separate amp, look nice on office bookshelf. Cons: Expensive, esp when paired w/D1 DAC. Probably a less expensive comparable solution out there but I didn't look too hard.
Audio Engine Written By JimD, Wash DC on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very Satisfied with purchase. Great clear sound and soundstage. Replaced Klipsch THX speakers, compared head to head and a night and day improvement in sound quality. I haven't found the need for a sub woofer at all. I've been running an Iphone 5 and Ipod plugged in directly and sound is great. I'm sure my dac would improve the sound, but haven't felt the need. Pros: Sounds quality, ease of setup, charging plug Cons: little large for a desktop
Audioengine A5+ Written By carlton w, Dennisport.Ma on Thursday, November 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Still testing but I am sure this is going to turn out fine....Will check in a couple months. Pros: all is well Cons: Would like switch on frount of speaker
BEST SPEAKERS MONEY CAN BUY Written By Kale, Evanston Illinois on Sunday, October 13, 2013 I would pay double what I paid for these!!!! Best money I've ever spent in my entire life. They get better and better as you use them, deeper bass, better clarity. Pair them with the audioengine DAC and its pretty much heaven for your ears. Just buy them, quit thinking. Pros: EVERYTHING Cons: They are too cheap
A5+ Written By tony f, Long Island NY on Thursday, October 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very well made and easy to use. Good tone and solid bass. The reason I didn't give five stars is the mids mainly vocals are the only weak point of these speakers. Pros: Superb fit & finish, surprising good tone. Remote Cons: Don't like the rolling volume knob as you don't know what level the gain is. Only sound flaw I hear is in the vocals if there's a loud bass part playing at the same time it seems the bass compromises the clarity of the vocal onlt on certain songs though like Steve Stills " Johnny's Garden" .
Simply Awesome for WMC! Written By JohnB, Fort Mitchell, AL on Friday, September 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I should have gotten these a long time ago for my expensive self custom built desktop computer! I enjoy running Windows Media Center (WMC) going to sleep now (love playing my RUSH collection!). Being able to play MY music at the volume I want. For years I was using Creative Labs GigaWorks T20 Series II 2.0 Multimedia Speaker System (or lower)...ya, they're okay speakers. Being okay, I used WMC...sometimes. With Audioengine A5+ speakers now...all the time! I really enjoy the bass these produce; no need for a subwoofer. Some say they produce too much bass, but not me. I can crank up the volume and really enjoy (not at night of course)! For a sound card, I'm using a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional purchased in 2011...works just fine on Windows 8 64-bit. I placed these on 16" speaker stands behind two large LCD monitors, as to not block direct sound. They simply look great and sound great!! Highly recommended! Pros: Self-powered; awesome sound at high levels; perfect bass (no subwoofer needed); remote control; ship very well protected (packaged - two boxes); I love my RUSH ripped CD collection again! Cons: Absolutely none for me...but for some maybe: No protective grills (may be an issue if kids have finger access), but this is not for me; cost may be for some, but you really get what you pay for IMO so not a con for me.
very happy Written By Anonymous, sf, bay area, ca on Thursday, September 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It was between the a5+ and the bose companion 5s. Im glad I chose the a5+, with one exception, get a powered subwoofer for the a5+ if you want full range. Pros: best sound, solid design. Cons: needs better low range sub 60hz
vinyl resurrectors Written By leslie71, San Juan on Friday, July 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought a pair to build a simple system for my old records. Paired them with a Project Debut Carbon USB and I don't thing I'm ever going back to a passive speaker / amp combo. The simplicity and clarity of the sound was exactly what I was looking for. I recommend you buy a pair of good stands and upgrade the speaker cable if you are planing on using as main speakers. Overall this speakers deliver on everything they promise and for the price is next to impossible to build an amp / speaker system that sounds as good as the Audioengines do. Pros: Great soundstage and clarity, remote, design Cons: No grilles. No input selector.
Audioengine A5+ Written By Mark, Connecticut on Friday, July 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These areexcelent sounding, quite powerful, and quite accurate, if not a bit bass heavy. (I like the bass. My wife not so much.) I use them for parties on a screened in porch. The whole yard gets plenty of sound. When I play them through a Squeezebox radio, in a12x13 foot kitchen, The can bow you out of the room. Otherwiise are great in that room. Completely satisfied.
Best computer speakers, period. Written By MarkM, Indianapolis, IN on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for powered speakers for my home office that would come close to my higher end tube amp and Klipsch KG4 speaker system. I found the the amp/speaker combination in the A5+ equal to the task. I have them hooked up to my iMac through a midrange DAC. The audio was superb. What really stands out is the smooth balance between bass, midrange and treble. The speakers project a realistic sound stage right at my working area and have lots of output . A best buy. Pros: Fantastic, rich sound across the entire frequency range. Efficient sound stage. Audiophile sound quality w high bit rate music. Cons: I haven't found any.
2.0 and the bass Written By DaveD, Richmond, VA on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 Paired the A5+ with the AD-1 DAC from Audioengine. Great sound throughout the spectrum, solid punchy bass, nice soundstage and good clarity up top. Really wanted to get away from the sub at my feet and the A5's really provide all the bass I could ask for, sometimes requiring a little equalization to dial back bass a touch when playing loud (and they will) though I am waiting to really dial them in until broken in. Still outstanding sound, right out of the box. Pros: Great sound top to bottom, plenty of bass no sub, great soundstage, easy install with the AD-1DAC Cons: Be nice if they were smaller, but not the sound!
Surprisingly good Written By Chuck, Belmont, MA on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We have had stereo speakers in three rooms of our house for many years. I was never satisfied with the speakers in one room, and I bought these to replace the speakers in that room. Before setting up these speakers in that room, I set them up next to my best speakers, in another room, for comparison. This other room is where I do most of my listening, so naturally it has the best speakers. I was pleasantly surprised to find that these Audioengine A5+ speakers are much better than my previously-best speakers. So now the Audioengine self-powered speakers occupy my primary listening room; the pair of stereo speakers plus the big subwoofer plus the big amplifier that drives them all have been moved from my primary room to my number-two room; my previously number-two speakers have been moved from my number-two room to my number-three room; and my previously third-ranked speakers are gone. Thus, every room has gotten better speakers. Such a deal! Pros: Surprisingly good for a pair of bookshelf-size speakers without a subwoofer. I expected to need a subwoofer with these but found that I do not. The angular dispersion of the tweeters is also surprisingly good. My room is 24 ft square, and these speakers fill it quite well. Distortion is quite low throughout the audio spectrum. Cons: I'm thinking.... It's hard to find fault with these speakers.
Audioengine A5+ Written By Anonymous, Bladensburg, OH on Friday, April 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers have more than met my expectations! Absolutely love them!
Audioengine A5+ Written By Anonymous, Seattle, WA on Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall great speakers. I have them hooked up to my iMac and they sound great. Bass is clean, which makes me reconsider whether I need to get the subwoofer, but I will probably end up buying that as well. My music is crisp and clear. Overall, I recommend buying these speakers if you have the money. Pros: Great sound and very powerful! Cons: Price, but I'm a firm believer that generally you get what you pay for.
Audio engine 5+ Written By Dw, Isanti mn on Sunday, April 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I received these speakers a few weeks ago, I can say that I am very pleased. They have the ability to get very loud when asked without distortion, they do sound best when they are a bit loud, if I gave it one knock it would be at lower volume sit would be nice if you could get a bit more bass out of them, I think I can add a sub and get that. Pros: Great at higher volumes Cons: Need more bass at lower volumes, if you were watching a movie, it would be nice to get the thump with out having the volume so high.
SOUND FANTASTIC Written By DMIKE5249, Boynton Beach Fl. on Monday, April 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound great. I have them hooked up to the Audioengine D1 dac I have them to use on my Computer to play all kind's of music. The sound through these speakers are AMAZING they sound like you were at a a concert.I did not want to spend a lot of money on speakers but im glad I did they are worth every penny,Now I can enjoy my favorite song's. Pros: NONE Cons: WISH ON/OFF SWITCH WAS EASY TO GET TO.
Outstanding sound and money well spent! Written By AriD, Dallas, Texas on Tuesday, April 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Out of the box, these speakers impress with their weight and quality of construction. Extremely easy to set up and I was listening to music in 10 minutes. I spaced them about 5 feet apart and toed in to the listening position. These speakers offer so many ways to listen to your music. I used line inputs, connected to the out of my Carver pre-amp. The sound is warm well defined and the speakers could resolve even the most complex choral works, that I auditioned. With rock and jazz, these speakers rock and groove. I did not miss the low -end that a sub would provide. They definitely offer more than the price one paid for them Pros: Great connectivity options, clear defined and musical sounding, great build and quality is noticeable. Great sound stage!!. All music styles tend to sparkle with these speakers Cons: I did not like the volume control, I would have preferred one with limits, not one that keeps turning. No headphone jack on the front of these speakers
Amazing! Written By PaysonDuck, Payson, AZ on Monday, April 01, 2013 Is it possible to rate these more that 5 stars? I just received these (bamboo) audioengine 5+ speakers this afternoon and have them connected to my computer, replacing a set of Swans that, in their day, were impeccable but have been generating a lot of noise of late. After listening to a couple hours of Lisa Stansfield I am now mid-way through '50 Words for Snow' by Kate Bush and I already love these speakers. Clear. Clean. Natural. I can't think of anything I would change. The 'setup guide' states to expect a 30 to 50 hour break-in period and I can't imagine these sounding any better. I am very happy I made this purchase! Pros: Everything! Cons: Nothing!
PC Use Problem Written By Ron, PA on Monday, April 01, 2013 I connected the A5 with Autoengine D1 DAC to my PC. Works fine when playing only CDs in my PC. However if I use PC programs at the same time it causes an interruption in the music like a skip or noise when I click on the mouse.
great value and excellent sound Written By Mike, New Jersey on Saturday, February 09, 2013 i have these in my office running off my Dell computer listening to satellite radio. i have the computer set to studio quality sound and these speakers sound great at any\ volume. cant beat them for the money. Pros: compact and high power Cons: none
Audioengine A5+ Written By Sue, OIB, NC on Monday, January 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Too much bass. Pros: Appearance, size, looks all good. When you raise the volume, it's not bad. Cons: No way to to adjust the bass.
Nice! Written By Kurt W., Los Lunas, NM on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading all the reviews and associated materials on this product, I decided to purchase. Well packed and promptly shipped. This was a gift, so we had to wait to hear them. We were impressed. The crisp clean sound quality is awesome. The frequency response with the also purchased DAC is very nice. Tried multiple styles of music and was impressed on every level. Highs are crisp and clean, Mid range sharp but not overpowering, Bass is good and has enough power without becoming distorted (I hate bass that falls apart). . Pros: Everything they are advertised to be..Nice! To be honest, Typical Crutchfield ~ Cons: A little pricey for a gift. After purchase, you realize that you made the right choice.
Audioengine A5+ Written By marc, Denver on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great pair of speakers! Amazing sound! Worth the price.
Great buy! Written By David, VA on Wednesday, September 05, 2012 I purchased these speakers to connect to my television and to have something to connect my iPod to in my main listening room. They ROCK! The sound imaging is impeccable, the mids and highs are on point and they provide great depth in bass response WITHOUT A SUB!! Whether watching a movie or listening to my favorite tunes, the A5+ go above and beyond in performace. I would highly recommend them to any interested customer. Only negative is the lack of optical digital input Pros: great sound, easy installation, aesthetically pleasing in size/shape/design Cons: wish it had opticial digital in for higher quality sound.
Audioengine A5+ Written By bb, San Francisco, CA on Sunday, July 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very happy with the speakers. saved some money by buying the opened box/ blemish deal and they look perfect. Pros: great full sound
The Little Audioengine that could! Written By David, NYC on Wednesday, July 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Pair these little beasts to a DAC and turn your computer system into a symphony! I also added a subwoofer for the thrill and the music just blows me away. If you really want to appreciate what they can do to your jams, go to HDtracks.com and download some lovely 24 bit, uncompressed music...a little FLAC action and really HEAR what music should sound like. I no regrets for a second buy. They are GREAT GREAT GREAT
Great speakers Written By Kerry, Anchorage, AK on Tuesday, June 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Got these for the master bedroom. They sound AMAZING. I was initially worried that I would have to get a sub to help these speakers out. They go plenty low enough for music enjoyment. Great quality and finish. I would recommend these speakers to anyone. Pros: amazing sound quality. great build. excellent price.
Worth it! Written By Dave, Queens, ny on Sunday, May 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had these speakers for about 6 months now and they are great! I live in a small apartment and have them connected to my TV, as well as have them connected to my laptop via the W3 wireless adapter. Watching movies and listening music stream from my laptop sounds great. Sound is clear, crisp, and balanced. Bass isn't too heavy, but for the size of the speakers, it is remarkable the mids & lows that are produced. What really impressed me was how they preformed at a backyard bbq yesterday. I brought one speaker (one with the amp) out to the backyard and connected my ipod. It was the first time that I really got to crank it up and that one speaker performed well. As the evening progressed and more "special beverages" were consumed the volume knob was progressively turned to the right. Each time it was, the speaker was produced clear and crisp music. With the absence of the heavy bass, it was as if we had a much larger system, which was evident when the cops finally came to request us to turn it down...hehe ...sorry neighbors. Pros: Great sound quality.
Audioengine A5 + Written By mhouglum, Radford, VA on Thursday, March 15, 2012 These speakers are awesome. They really capture all of the music that you are listening to. I decided to get them as an upgrade to a set of Bose 2.1 speakers that were stolen when my house was broken into earlier this year. I read reviews and was excited about these speakers. Let me just say that I have been blown away by the sound quality that these speaker put out. I am a music lover but would not call myself an audiophile so take this review with a grain of salt. From what I have observed these speakers sound better than the Bose that I had before. The only thing that I wish they had was a little more bass at lower volume. These speakers put out a great sound at all volume. However, I was used to a little more boom. The a5 + have bass but it is a natural bass that you can hear but you wont feel unless you have them turned up in a small/medium sized room. At some point I will add the S8 sub to my system. But honestly if you love great sounding music and enjoy hearing all of the details in your recorded music you should give these speakers a chance. I have no regrets, they really do sound awesome. I can sit in front of them for hours in awe of the sound that they produce. Pros: Sound great and perform as described. Great sound quality! Cons: Wish there was a little more bass, if price isn't an issue I would get a sub with these speakers to help out at lower volume.
Audioengine 5A+ Written By JeffK, Dallas, TX on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased a pair of Audioengine A5+ speakers for my iMac. I have them running through a DAC, then into my Mac. I am a professional musician, so I do a lot of listening at my computer. I know there is a break in period of 30-50 hours, but right now I am very impressed. I listen to all genres of music, but mostly jazz and classical, since I teach band during the day. I have found the clarity and definition to be excellent. Woodwinds, brass, strings/piano and voices sound very true.
Audioengine A5+ Written By Anonymous, Maine on Monday, February 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought the A5+ to support my family members being able to play the music stored on their iPhones in the kitchen. First, because this is a review of the speakers: they sound great. I can hear things in my music I haven't heard yet. Plenty loud. Quality, thoughtful construction. I called the Audio Engine tech support to get some advice, and the guy was very knowledgeable and gave me some great advice. We hooked the A5+ speakers up to an AirPort Express, all positioned on top of the kitchen cabinets. Accoustically maybe not the best place, but very convenient and the sound is just fine. The playback path is: IPhone --> AirPlay --> AirPort Express --> A5+. We can stream tracks and playlists stored on iTunes, Pandora, NPR, etc -- any app that works with AirPlay. The great thing about this solution is its simplicity. No extra apps, no additional synchronization. My wife and kids already know how to use their iPhones...zero tech incremental support for me, which is how I like it.
Great Speakers for my Computer Written By Jobby, Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound clear, sharp and handle anything I play on my computer excellently. Every thing from my iTunes collection, sons educational videos (Slang Man World) to wives Hulu shows. I added the sub-woofer that is sold for these speakers and what a fantastic sound. Pros: Great sound for your computer Cons: The price
Video: Whole Firehouse Audio with Sonos® by Tara W. Sonos® donated a wireless audio system to our local fire station. The firefighters looked forward to being able to play music from their smart phones as they did their chores, cooked and worked...
I understand what the plus means Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 12/20/2011 3:06:00 PM I heard the original A5 bookshelf speakers and really liked the sound. Auditioning the A5+, I hear my music with a little more clarity and a lot more presence. These are big, substantial speakers (as I found out when I hoisted them onto the table). While they're labelled "bookshelf," I might be more included to put them on pedestals or a credenza. The A5's are great, and the A5+ perform even better.

A heart murmur is a blowing, whooshing, or rasping sound heard during a heartbeat. The sound is caused by turbulent (rough) blood flow through the heart valves or near the heart.
Chest sounds - murmurs; Heart sounds - abnormal; Murmur - innocent; Innocent murmur; Systolic heart murmur; Diastolic heart murmur
The heart has four chambers:
The heart has valves that close with each heartbeat, causing blood to flow in only one direction. The valves are located between the chambers.
Murmurs can happen for many reasons, such as:
There are several ways in which your doctor may describe a murmur:
When a murmur is more noticeable, the doctor may be able to feel it with the palm of the hand over the heart.
Things the doctor will look for in the exam include:
Many heart murmurs are harmless. These types of murmurs are called innocent murmurs. They will not cause any symptoms or problems. Innocent murmurs do not need treatment.
Other heart murmurs may indicate an abnormality in the heart. These abnormal murmurs can be caused by:
Significant murmurs in children are more likely to be caused by:
Multiple murmurs may result from a combination of heart problems.
Children often have murmurs as a normal part of development. These murmurs do not need treatment. They may include:
A doctor or nurse can listen to your heart sounds by placing a stethoscope over your chest. You will be asked questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
The doctor may ask you to squat, stand, or hold your breath while bearing down or gripping something with your hands to listen to your heart.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"I have purchased 3 previous pairs of New Balance shoes. . I put 600 miles of running on the 2nd pair (1123) before the bottoms got slick and hurt my feet. The 3rd pair (993) is still good with 525 miles on them. The model 812 has a new sizing parameter. I wear a 7.5 D yet this pair was tight and very narrow. Great customer return service and I went the next width up. The back & sides are comfortable, but the front (toe box) is extra wide and hurting my toes. I received them yesterday and wore them to work today, They hurt my toes by the time I crossed the parking lot & even sitting at my desk. My plan for afterwork walk-runs in a casual looking shoe are gone. I'll call New Balance tonight, but suspect I am stuck with them. My fault for not walking around my house carpet more first. I'd still recommend them if you can find a size that fits comfortably."

"I picked these shoes up with the idea that it was 20 dollars cheaper and made in the good old USA but when breaking them in the plastic sole was stiff and not great feeling to walk on as the more expensive, I do not know why the sole was harder then the more expensive ones, due to my size 14 6e boats and no one fits as good on my feet and only a few styles to pick from I guess I will have to spent the extra for comfort."

Wood Blinds
When most people picture window blinds for almost any room in their home, they think of the classic wood blind. Horizontal wood blinds are an extra touch of comfort and character for any room. With this in mind Select Blinds has worked hard to ensure we offer the widest selection of wood blinds to match any room's décor.
Wood blinds are made of natural hard woods like basswood and American hard woods. This makes them very durable, and perfect for most any window. If you want the look of wood blinds but want to hang them in a location that just doesn't work for natural wood blinds, faux wood blinds are a very attractive choice. They offer their own unique set of benefits and can often times be made to look very much like natural wood blinds that you may already have in your house.
The Colors
The first step in achieving the overall desired look of a room, is the color. The right color choice can either make your blinds match and complement the décor of the room, or it can cause it to clash and look out of place. In terms of color, most blinds can be put in one of two categories, whites or stains. White window blinds are not just pure white, they can range from super bright white to more subdued almond or ivory hues. When it comes to stains, your color options truly blossom. You can choose the more traditional look for your blinds, with stains like the cherry, mahogany, and ash, or you can pick something a little different, with the distressed and weathered looking wood slats.

This item arrived on time and in perfect condition. It was easy to put together as the instructions were easy to follow. I was looking for a small bakers rack and this one fits perfectly. The baskets are a nice size and fairly sturdy. The color of the baskets and the wood top are a bit darker in reality than what it shows in the picture, but it could be the quality of my PC monitor. It you are looking for a bakers rack with old world charm that can fit into a small space I would recommend this one!
I was looking for a bakers rack or unit of some kind for our kitchen that has recently undergone a renovation because we didn't want the microwave to take up our minimal counter space. After measuring the microwave and looking at the dimensions online, I figured this would work and it did. The user review from "Rosemount, MN" had me hooked. This definitely was easy enough to assemble and all the appropriate parts were there. My only minor issue was in getting the wicker drawer bottoms on.....I had to push pieces of the wicker back a little in order to fit the small screws through. Other than that, I certainly cannot complain about the value. If you're looking for something functional and still attractive, this is a very good buy. It also serves quite well its utilitarian purpose.
We were looking for a piece of furniture for the kitchen that would be used for storage and to help keep things off the table and kitchen island. We are able to store and organize all our recipes, cookbooks, magazines, mail, and anything else that might pass through the kitchen. This furniture is serving its purpose but it's also very attractive! The wicker and iron combination makes this piece unique looking and the baskets add very neat flare. We were able to assebly it fairly quickly and easily in our living room and had it in the kitchen the same day we got it delivered. This is an excellent value and we got a lot for the great price we paid.
Easy to put together. It is nice looking and seems very sturdy, not wobbly at all. The baskets fit all of my dvds nicely or could accommodate items up to 10" high. They are wire shelves that the baskets slide into and out of easily. The next shelf fits things 12" high and the shelf above that just under 8" high. The top two shelves are wire, not a solid shelf so keep that in mind for your planned use.
This is a very nice piece to add to a kitchen or dining room. Although I do think for the quality of the product, Overstock should have listed it at a lower price. It's a great piece, but once I received it, it seemed a bit pricey.
This package arrived on time. I was a bit concerned about the appearance of the outside of the box, but it was so well packed inside, there was no damage. I was impressed by the care taken to protect the pieces. I assembled it myself, borrowing the allen head power tool from the workshop. There are no nicks or damaged places; it was easy to assemble, but do watch the front and back of the bottom back and turn the side with the holes to the front so the shelf will lock in the last step. I am so pleased with how it looks in my dining area.
Before I purchased the item I read all the reviews thinking that it couldn't be that good because it wasn't pricey. Well I was surprised. First it was delivered in 3 days. My son had it up in less than an hour. I had it all stacked with my stuff and I am so pleased I really am. It fits right where I wanted it. Love walking into my dining area just to see it,
Easy 1 hr. assembly after removing parts from packaging.All the parts are clearly labelled. The written directions are not too clear, but I referred to all the diagrams for clarity. Offers a lot of storage in a small space.
Perfect for my kitchen. I put my microwave on it, saves me counter space.
the rack is perfect for small kitchen with out a lot of cabinets it takes most of my cooking equipment and other things.
