by Kristen Schaub Powerful tower speaker performance Looking for speakers that deliver the kind of impact and clarity that make you feel like you're right there in the movie or on the stage with your favorite musical artist? Check out the RF-62 II from Klipsch®. This floor-standing tower speaker offers dynamic, full-bodied sound that makes it ideal for larger rooms. Building on Klipsch's previous Reference speaker line, the Series II models have updated drivers and a new crossover system for even more spacious sound. Pick up a pair for stereo music, or use them as your front left and right speakers in a home theater setup. Horn technology for "front row" sound All Reference Series II speakers feature a redesigned version of Klipsch's famous horn-loaded tweeter. Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeter inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area in a 90°-wide, 60°-high pattern. With their Series II speakers, Klipsch has redesigned the shape and slope of their famous horn enclosure, so your movie soundtracks and music will sound more "open," with improved dynamics and efficiency. All in all, you can count on powerful, "front row" sound that's crystal-clear at all volume levels. High-tech driver design The RF-62 II uses newly machined, light-yet-rigid Cerametallic woofers with a folded edge to produce smoother mids and tighter bass. The specially treated aluminum in the cones helps to dampen unwanted vibrations and reduce distortion, while integrated dustcaps add stability. The RF-62 II also has dual five-way binding posts, giving you the option to bi-amp or bi-wire this speaker for even better performance. And the rigid, braced cabinet comes in a handsome woodgrain vinyl finish. Check out the rest of our Klipsch lineup, and build a complete Reference Series II home theater or stereo speaker system. And don't forget to add a Klipsch subwoofer for high-impact bass. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center.

Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By Eddie C, California on Wednesday, March 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Been searching for a new speaker for my new home. After months of researches, I lock down into Klipsch because of the reviews i read online. Recently I see theres price drop, I jumped onto it. Been using it for 2 weeks now, it's probably the best money speakers you can get on the market right now ! Pros: Great looking , awesome pricing, strong mid range , crystal clear sound, good bass Cons: zero
Awesome Speakers!! Written By Dan, Mansfield, TX on Sunday, February 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are my very first pair of stereo speakers and they fill my moderately sized living room with full stereo sound. They have amazing bass presence so I didn't need to add a sub woofer! Thank you to crutchfield for guiding me to these speakers! Pros: Amazing sound! Beautiful pieces of furniture! Cons: None!
Just right! Written By John, Kalamazoo, MI on Monday, January 26, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was in the market for a good quality 2-channel audio system which would fill a room with sound and bring all my favourite music to life - these speakers do that job really well! My listening range is very broad from pop through to Indie, rock, and a bit of classical. My previous speakers were a pair of B&W 600 series floorstanders which I had to sell due to an international relocation to the USA. It took me a few listens to get used to the Klipsch speakers after being used to the bigger sound I got from the B&W's. But I think the sound is crisper and more detailed. The Klipsch proprietary horn design works very well provided that you position yourself directly in front of the speakers. I paired these speakers with a Marantz PM6005 amplifier and matching CD6005 CD player and I haven't switched the system off since I took it out of the box. These speakers perform well above their price bracket and I am very happy with them. Pros: Fantastic performer for the price and the Crutchfield team are great to deal with. Cons: None at this price
Perfect! Written By MD, Tampa, FL on Wednesday, January 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After researching a pair of speakers to go with my new Yamaha R-S700 receiver, I decided to go with the Klipsch RF-62 II speakers. They are a perfect match to that receiver. I made my choice after reading every possible review from all of the available sources as well as feed back for other sites and reviewers. I made the right choice and love the quality sound over all ranges with them. Highly rated! Pros: Perfect match for my R-S700 Yamaha receiver and they look fantastic! Sound quality is outstanding. Cons: None
Klipsch RF-62ii Written By Anonymous, the Washington, DC Area on Thursday, January 01, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are very nice..."fast" and so much detail that was missing...Iisten to primarily Baroque string concertos, Corelli, Locatelli, Geneniani, so beautiful and clear and dynamic, it goes right to your soul, I haven't listened for three hours in a row in a long time....a quantum leap over what I had, doesn't even sound like the same cd's. Some people have said they are large and can overpower a small room...I have them in a one bedroom apt living room, I don't think they are too big at all.I think they are just the right size...I am using them as two channel stereo with a tube amp and preamp with just superb, exquisite results. Thank You Crutchfield I am very happy with this purchase from you. Pros: dynamics, balanced, detail, fast, bass, looks Cons: none
Sounds much bigger than they are Written By EricG, Lincoln, NE on Wednesday, December 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these towers to compliment the RC-52 center channel I bought several years ago. They are really nice speakers, and if you get them on sale, they are a great value. The highs are clear and articulate, but not harsh or brittle. Some say you either like Klipsch horn tweeters or you don't. I somewhat disagree with that as these are much smoother sounding than horn tweeters of 10-20 years ago. They are still not as soft or smooth as a silk dome tweeter, but they are definitely pleasant to listen to and I do not experience any fatigue while listening to them. Mids are very lush and full with just a hind of bass bleeding into them. The bass is warm and full, but somewhat muddy. It is perfect for movies and general music listening. It does not handle sustained deep bass hits well like you would find in rap or hip/hop music. I don't listen to much rap, but I did throw in some Lil Wayne to see how they handled it. They sound find with quick hits, but with hard, sustained synth bass, they distort badly at high volume. This is the only thing keeping me from giving them 5 stars. Flip to rock music (which is much more my style), and they shine. I'm more into hard rock and metal, but there is nothing more musically beautiful than listening to a lossless recording of some old Santana, Fleetwood Mac, or Pink Floyd. The clarity, articulation, and soundstage put out by these speakers is nothing short of breathtaking; enveloping you in sound. Close your eyes and smile. Pros: Clear, articulate, yet smooth highs Lush, warm mids Smooth, warm, full bass If you want them for a theater room or for listening to anything other than rap, you'll love them. Cons: Lack of dynamic punch for really low sustained bass A little bit of bass bleeds into the low mids (I suspect using a larger sub combined with the current mid woofer would sound much better, but who asked me) The vinyl "wood" veneer looks really cheesy. Either use a real wood veneer, real wood, a leather or leatherette, or just skip it and paint them gloss black. This is really nit-picky, but the "feet" on the rear of the speakers should really be one bar that goes all the way across the spea
great speakers for the $$ Written By ChrisL, Baltimore, MD on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are great speakers for the money. They sound good and are solid and attractive. I'm using with a subwoofer, so I can't speak for the bass. WIth my sub though, they handle the highs and mid tones perfectly with my sub. I used my Denon-auto-setup and tweaked the crossover levels. Now I have a wall of sound whether listening to pure stero music or with surround mode on. I'm happy about this purchase. I didn't give 5-stars only because I know there are bettter (more expensive) speakers available. For my small room though, this is more than enough and I am picky about my music and video. Pros: Clear sound, attractive design Cons: none yet
Wonderful Written By DOUG, Downingtown, PA on Friday, December 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers out of the box. Very crisp highs and good bass, good looking cabinets. I ordered these Monday morning and they were on my doorstep in less than 24 hours! Highly recommend Crutchfield.
Reference RF-62 Written By darthjd, Euclid Oh on Sunday, November 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Amazing sound - could not see or hear reason for scratch and dent classification and discount - they took a collection of reward cards, gift card and credit card as payment Pros: price - convenience - sound Cons: none
we love klipsch Written By Thorsen, Eastern, WA on Monday, October 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Klipsch sounds great Pros: Cherry is beautiful and the sound is moving Cons: None
Very Happy Written By Andrew, Grand Rapids, MI on Friday, September 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was my first set of speakers that wasn't one of those home theater in a box sets. So I am no expert by any means, but I left my old $300 sony system hooked up so I could compare the sound, and I can't believe what I was missing. My old speakers just seem so muffled and dead compared to these. Also, I bought these Open box and they are perfect looking, and both sound great. Pros: Awesome sound! Cons: The tweeters do bother my ears a bit and they are quite large.
Cheap Materials Written By Jeffrey, Sarasota FL on Tuesday, September 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound good,The cabinets are cheap,Chinese quality for sure are only one year the black ash vinyl is coming off and Klipsch is giving me a hard time about repairing or replacing the speaker or cabinet.This is the second pair this same thing has happened.8 years ago i bought a pair of RB 81 bookshelf speakers and the same problem. Pros: Good Sound Cons: Cheap Materials.
Klipsch RF-62 II towers Written By jtown, Windermere, FL on Saturday, August 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very crisp design. Love the bi-amp connections, they pack a great punch. Beautiful with grills on or off.
Speaker bargain of the century Written By Jackson, Dallas TX on Tuesday, July 08, 2014 It's hard to believe the cherry finish is cheaper. It looks very warm and realistic. But you want to know about the sound. While they do require a break in period to bring out full depth (they are bright out of the box), once they are broken in the deliver phenomenal sound. Particularly with vocals, these speakers are relaxed and won't wear you out for hours of listening enjoyment. The high efficiency design ensures that any amp pushing 8ohms can handle these speakers with ease. I am very fond of the transparency of the sound. The cabinets and the grilles don't impart any noticeable character to the sound source. Although, the copper cones are so beautiful with the cherry cabinets you may leave the covers off permanently. I was originally blown away by a demo set of the RF52 II speakers but after finding this deal, I figured why not go a little bigger, a decision I do not regret. I am quite impressed by these, coming from some less musical yet decent JBL speakers, and they have made the perfect match to my Rega turntable and Yamaha two channel receiver. I do suggest dual wiring them if your tuner supports it. Pros: Looks, sound, craftsmanship, stability Cons: A little on the heavy side but not much of a con. Requires some break in time to truly sound expressive.
Exactly what I expected ! Written By Dan, Soldotna, Alaska on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers perform just as I expected and had read about , they are a perfect fit in my Klipsh home theater system and I got the heavy punch and power that I was looking for without being to huge or expensive. Pros: Perfect size for a tower speaker with awesome music sound quality and high performance, movies sound much better as well. Cons: none
Blown Away Written By DonD, Hoover, AL on Monday, June 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was a little concerned I was getting too much speaker, but I have been blown away by how GOOD these sound. So glad I steeped up to the 62s.
Incredible Written By David, Tulsa, Ok on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound incredible. I believe they are the best value. The discount for the cherry color makes it even better. They look great by the way. Pros: Amazing sound, Easy to install, nice warranty, Cons: none
Awesome!!! Written By JC, Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound awesome. I am no audiophile, but I know quality when I hear it! Pros: Well built American made product. They look and sound fantastic. The copper cones look amazing with the grill cover off. Cons: None
klipsch rf62 Written By tony, ny on Saturday, February 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent speaker lots of full sound and bass will fill a room with sound easily without using alot of wattage sounds like being there Pros: Excellent sound have not broken in yet plenty of bass when needed highly recommended Cons: None
Next Generation Loudspeaker Written By Lambo, Orlando, FL on Friday, January 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice speakers, beautiful cabinets and very excellent sound quality. They play very sharp clean sound at any volume and take little power to drive compared to my old speakers. I did however like the powered sub-woofers in the Polk towers I previously owned although at 15 years old with one blown it was time for a change. I'm thrilled with these Klipsch RF-62's and with the loudness button on my 85W RMS Onkyo receiver I still get a decent base response. Pros: Clear crisp sound at any listening level, beautiful cabinet and reasonable price for a speaker at this level. Cons: None regarding the speaker but I do miss powered sub-woofer thump!
Solid Written By Damon, Middletown, DE on Wednesday, December 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love these speakers. They do sound a little "bright" out of the box, but everything I read says they need to be broken in for a little while before they give a nice "warm" sound. I have them paired with a Pioneer SC-1223-K which I've also read will contribute to that endeavor. They are very solid and well-built, and look beautiful with grill or without. The grill is magnetic for easy removal and restoration. Very happy with purchase. Pros: Construction, Crystal-clear sound, looks, Klipsch brand. Cons: None.
Great pair of speakers Written By Gene, Hawaii on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First, Crutchfield service is outstanding. Now for the speakers, they exceeded my expectations in looks, build and sound. The cherry finish looks much better in person and much better than the black. The speakers are heavier and more solid than I was expecting. The sound is great. Large, deep sound stage, the "front row" sound is just that. The sound stage is projected out into the room creating a great sense of depth. Imagine is terrific as well, especially for the price. Detail is of course excellent. I was a little worried that the horns would be harsh for music, but my worries were unfounded. The mids and highs are very good and spectacular respectively. Certainly no complaints. Biggest surprise is the amount of bass. These towers surprised me in the amount and depth of the bass. It's tight and controlled. I noticed no booming or muddiness. A very nice speaker. 5 stars for the price. Pros: Detail in the highs, efficiency and bass
Excellent -beyond expectations Written By Larry W., Coarsegold, CA on Monday, September 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wasn't expecting the beautiful sound recreation from these speakers. What a wonderful addition to our surround sound. An exceptional enhancement to our music listening experience. Pros: Love the high range clarity. Warm and comforting mid and high range. Low range superb. Cons: None
RF62 II's Written By Shaun, Kansas City, MO on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very full sound. Have used primarily for watching movies for the moment. Sound nice even at lower volumes. Slowly replacing an onkyo home theatre in a box system I have. These loudspeakers are definitely a great start. Have no doubt enhanced my movie watching experience. If you're on the fence, just do it and thank me later. Pros: -Great sound at lower volumes -Nice highs -Just enough bass without sounding too boomy -Take up less room than I thought they would -Solid construction with good weight Cons: Double check to make sure you've got enough space. Not so much width but the speakers are pretty long right around 15 inches long.
Great speakers Written By Chris, Wyoming, MI on Friday, May 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These replaced my very old ADS speakers and are paired up with a Pioneer Elite VXS-84TXS receiver. They sound wonderfull. I was looking at their Icon Dual 8 speakers and decided to go with these instead because of the reviews I read hear. Pros: Look good and sound great Cons: None
Great linear and expansive sound Written By Joe R, Salem, ma on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a beautiful speaker! Things appear in proper proportion! Highs are crisp, mids full and warm, and bottom end expansive! Pros: Affordable excellence Cons: Damage to carton on shipping cause slight nick in cabinet veneer.
RF-62 II Written By KevinH, Ashland, OR on Tuesday, April 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I originally bought the bookshelf version RF-62 II's. I loved them so much. Then when I saw the Tower's were discounted I didn't hesitate and immediately bought them as well. Now with the towers in front and the bookshelves as surround I am in 7th heaven (this set up is in my bedroom). I don't have space for a subwoofer, but I don't need them. I moved my turntable to this set up so I can play all the classical and jazz vinyls I have while reclining in my sleep number. It is sound, sound all around and when I close my eyes I feel like I am lying down in the middle of the stage. Pros: Deep, rich and smooth sound reproduction all up and down the frequencies. No need to mess with the spectrum analyzer it is so balanced. It doesn't matter what volume the sound is being played at.
Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By G.G.S., Boston on Monday, April 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Extremely clear sound, highs are crisp cans clear and the bass is incredible. This price is amazingly low for the quality of speaker your purchasing . Klipsch RF62II speakers are made right here in the USA and they are an outstanding product. Pros: These speakers sound great! They create a great theater experience! They look fantastic! The price can't be beat! Cons: Nothing I can think of.
Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By Steve j, germfask mich. on Sunday, February 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these for a summer home to use as front stereo speakers .fit and finish very nice, fast shipping. Sound is ok pushing them with a 80 per. Onkyo tx-8050.. This two way speaker needs somthing to help them, other then a good sub. Pros: fit and finish very nice. Cons: new RF 11 horn missing something in detailed sound.
HOLY SMOKES - ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE Written By Michael, Twinsburg Ohio on Monday, January 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are incredible speakers. I am a drummer who enjoys playing to music and I need to have some volume behind me and these definitely put out the volume. They have a great bottom end (bass) and the highs are clean and crisp. You can hear every little detail of a song. I couldn't have been more impressed with a speaker. Pros: Great bass and great high's and nice, loud volume that is clean. Nice looking speakers (all black). Cons: Screws to install feet have a phillip's head and the screw head can strip out when attempting to tighten. I have preferred a torque's or square head screw.
Great Floor Speakers Written By David Walton, Houston, TX on Monday, April 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I ordered two of these speakers and they arrived in perfect shape, within 3 days, and they sound incredible! I only wish my listening room was the size of a concert hall so I could fully enjoy their gorgeous sound. While they are fantastic easy listening speakers, these dudes were made for volume. Crank up your Led Zeppelin and rip off the knob! Fantastic! Pros: Everything Cons: Not much bass available at the lower volumes
Klipsch Reference RF-62 II Written By Klipsch Reference RF-62 II, Bend, OR on Sunday, February 26, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am proud to display such a work of art in my home and the sound is like no other speaker, it is clean, crisp and clear. I would recommend this to anyone. Pros: All the good things one could say. Cons: None at all.
WOW!!! Written By Jimmy B., LAS VEGAS,NV. on Thursday, June 09, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) WOW!!!!! These speakers are simply amazing. Crutchfield's service was outstanding. WOW!!!!
Blown away in SoCal Written By Tom S., SoCal on Sunday, April 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I must agree with the folks who wrote the other reviews. Also, as with their bookshelf models, Klipsch speakers are crisp, clear and love to be cranked up. I upgraded to these towers and not only did the sound level go up, the bass picked up dramatically. I no longer need to upgrade my two sub woofers. These speakers are well worth every penny.
Great Sound! Written By Jeff H., Winston-Salem, NC on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased five of these (along with the equivalent center channel model) for a new home theater installation, and I could not be more pleased with their performance. From their crystal clear highs to their organ pedal-tone lows, these speakers deliver very refined, uncolored sound at any volume - along with excellent imaging characteristics. I consider these speakers to be a very good value.

POSTED: Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 10:00pm
UPDATED: Sunday, January 13, 2013 - 10:04pm
CNN — Rosie O'Donnell's family has grown by one more bundle of joy: The media personality and her wife Michelle Rounds have welcomed a baby girl.
O'Donnell shared the happy news on Twitter Wednesday along with a photo of herself with Rounds and their swaddled newborn daughter.
"[W]e r thrilled to announce the arrival of r daughter Dakota -- #withloveandthanks -- AMEN," O'Donnell, 50, tweeted.
O'Donnell's rep tells CNN that little Dakota was born on January 5 weighing in at five pounds, five ounces.
"Moms and baby are happy and healthy," the rep says, who confirms that Dakota was adopted.
The couple quietly tied the knot in June of last year, exchanging vows in private before Rounds underwent surgery for desmoid tumors.
O'Donnell then suffered a heart attack that August, and told People magazineafterward that she was going to focus on recovery.
"I will gladly stay home," O'Donnell said. "I want to try to work hard at getting myself healthy, on Mich and I getting started and maybe finding a baby."
Dakota's the fifth child for O'Donnell, who has four kids with her ex, Kelli Carpenter.

Smart Fishing
Never before has the need to shift from exploitation to good stewardship been more important.
WWF vision
"If we don't properly manage our oceans, we face not only an environmental disaster, but a social one too. If we are not able to manage our fisheries in a sustainable way, we are proving that mankind is unable to learn."
From overfishing to ... smart fishing
Despite these alarming figures, the global seafood market is expected to grow another 50 million tons by 2025, urging fishermen, processors, suppliers, buyers and retailers to meet this demand. Aquaculture production is expanding each year but will only contribute to increase pressure on wild fisheries unless they are better managed.
Through the Smart Fishing Initiative (SFI), WWF´s global fisheries programme, WWF tackles the many problems of overfishing to contribute to a sustainable future for our global fisheries.
Our work entails:
- advocating good governance and sustainable fisheries management with fisheries administrations, politicians and governments; promoting the adoption of a legal, transparent system that ensures our seafood is sustainably caught.
- spurring fishers, processors, sellers, buyers and retailers to commit to certified fisheries, and to purchase and sell seafood products that can be traced back to its origin.
- inciting financial institutions to create new, responsible investment mechanisms that put a halt on overfishing.
The SFI collaborates with other existing WWF programmes, Global Initiatives and offices all over the world including the Global Marine Programme, Latin American Fisheries Programme (LAC), Coastal East Africa, Artic, Market Transformation and Coral Triangle Initiatives, the Mediterranean programme, the European Fisheries Programme and the Global Species Programme to find and promote solutions that help to maintain our fisheries and marine ecosystems healthy.
As the number, size and power of fishing boats has grown, an increasing number of commercial fisheries are being fished to the point of collapse.
Destructive practices such as bottom trawling are damaging and destroying sensitive marine habitats.
Millions of non-target fish and other ocean dwellers are incidentally killed each day as "bycatch".

/p£:***U. p'-j -tiw^ vTG} 19S9 Mumuirvu. Kti-tKtHCE LIBRARY \&"^+* Branch of Seattle Public Library 5C8A County-City Building Seattle 4, Wash Century 21 State Building Unveiled by Governor Rosellini Pictured above is a bird's eye view of the gigantic three-acre Coliseum of Nations to be built by the state for the Century 21 Exposition in Seattle. Unlike anything ever built before, the structure will represent a unique contribution to the field of architectural design. Construction will start November 1. Formally approved for the state by State Commerce Director H. D. Kreager, after recommendation by the World Fair Commission and the Executive Committee of the Century 21 Corporation, the model was publicly unveiled by Governor Albert D. Rosellini on May 27. The unique building will house international science and commercial exhibits during the 1961-62 exposition. Plans call for the purchase of the structure by the City of Seattle after the exposition and pacity of 18,000 persons. The huge Coliseum, designed by architect Paul Thiry, F.A hibit spac glass walls. A spectacular roof of multi-colore will sweep 110 feet into the air at the apex (11 stories high), supported by steel compression trusses rising from sculptured concrete abutments. More than five and one-half miles of steel cables will be laced from the steel trusses on eight-foot centers to secure the giant form. In making the announcement, Rosellini described the Coliseum as a "remarkable architectural achievement in perfect harmony with the science theme of the exposition." "The entire state will benefit from the millions of visitors who will start coming to Seattle two years from today to view the thrilling Space-Age exhibits within this building," he said. The cost of the Coliseum is estimated at ¥3,812,000 and the construction will include an adjacent heating plant building in the four-square-block area. These funds are available from the $7,500,000 tare for the exposition. "Our primary goal in designing the Coliseum," declared Thiry, "was to provide the State with both a dramatic and functional exhibition hall which in itself will focus world-wide attention on the Century 21 Exposition." "However, we kept in mind at all times the ultimate conversion of the building into a sports and convention center after 1962. We established sight lines, planned lighting, and located other utilities so that the converted structure will be one of the most flexible and modern Sports Coliseums in the country." Thiry pointed out seating capacity for basketball, ice hockey, boxing, or other sports events might vary between 12,000 and 18,000 persons depending upon the need and the nature of the conversion. Kreager noted that final negotiations with the City of Seattle have not been concluded, but that discussions are currently underway between legal representatives of the City and the State. "Architect Thiry has come up with a magnificent structure that the city can convert for sports purposes without having to alter the basic building in any way. This will permit the state to recover a maximum return on its investment, and the City to achieve its need for a covered sports pavilion with a minimum of additional expenditure. Certain peripheral structures, now owned by the state and scheduled for architectural conversion to fit into the over-all Century 21 site plan, can be retained by the state, if desirable, for future state offices for Seattle branches of agencies headquartered in Olympia."

ELO's Jeff Lynne & Holland-Dozier-Holland Set For Hollywood Walk Of Fame
Thursday, June 27, 2013
ELO's Jeff Lynne and Motown legends Holland-Dozier-Holland will be among the entertainers to receive a star on L.A.'s Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2014. Examiner.com reported that the Walk of Fame Selection Committee also announced that other honorees set to receive stars next year include Rick Springfield, Ray Parker Jr., Tupac Shakur, Sally Field, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Lange, Kaley Cuoco of The Big Bang Theory fame, Deirdre Hall, Dabney Coleman, Tavis Smiley, producer/director Don Mischer, Claire Danes, and former Saturday Night Live star, the late Phil Hartman.
The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson first met Jeff Lynne 25 years ago while Wilson was recording his self-titled solo debut. He recalled the strange conditions while working with Lynne, telling us that during the sessions, the ELO leader never took off his trademark sunglasses: "Working with Jeff Lynne, boy, I never saw his eyes, 'cause he had these real dark, thick dark glasses on at night. We worked at night, y'know we wrote -- and I never ever once saw his eyes. I don't even know what his eyes look like. All I could see were these dark glasses, this cool face and dark glasses. I never got to see his eyes."
Although Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote for many Motown acts -- they were mainly responsible for most of the Supremes and Four Tops hits. Lamont Dozier says that the Tops' frontman, Levi Stubbs, had a vocal range and musical vocabulary that enabled him and brothers Eddie and Brian Holland to break boundaries that would've been unthinkable with a lesser singer: "Some of the 'Tops stuff, where it almost sounds operatic in some places, y'know? So we would mix that with gospel -- 'What if we take a gospel song, maybe a piece of Sam Cooke's old gospel days, or Aretha Franklin?' -- or that type of thing. Mix it with Mantovani (laughs) y'know what I mean. 'Cause that's where we were thinking the operatic types of things, y'know, (sings) 'Ohhhhh Bernadette.' Y'know, that stuff."

So what's the difference between cold and flu. The two words go together like salt and pepper or like New Year's and weight loss. I'm Dr. Alan Greene and I want to help you figure out what the difference is. Most people have a general idea that they are different, but when pressed have a hard time really saying what the difference is. The cold, the common cold, is something very common you usually get on average 3 or more times during a year. And it is a virus that's primarily in the nose. The cold is focused in the nose. The 3 main symptoms of a cold are sneezing, nasal stuffiness, and runny nose. All are focused in the nose. You may have other symptoms - you may have a fever of 100°, 101°, maybe you may have some tickling or scratchiness in the back of the throat. In fact, that may be the very first symptom - a little scratch in the back of the throat. Then after a couple days the nasal discharge tends to turn a little bit darker, greener. And then after about a week you're all the way better. But it's focused in the head, focused in the nose.
With the flu you're sick all over. It's a whole body disease. It's a much more serious illness. The flu in the United States today still kills about 36,000 people a year. Mostly people who already are weak for some reason or another. But it's a serious illness. And it usually slams into you with a fever. Typically the fever is in the 102° all the way up to a 106° range. A higher fever often the first symptom and you feel sick all over. You have muscle aches, you're tired, you feel out of it, you really feel crummy. And after a couple of days the respiratory symptoms start to come too. And depending where the flu virus settles you might have some sneezing, you might have some coughing. The classic symptom is a dry, hacking kind of cough, could be wheezing, could be other things, but the cough is the most common. Then it's there also for around 7 days or so and then at the end of it you may have another peak of fatigue and a second peak of fever. But usually after about a week you'll start feeling better with most cases of the flu.
Colds and flus are very, very different illnesses with a few of the same symptoms.

Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited disorders that cause muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue, which get worse over time.
Inherited myopathy, MD
Muscular dystrophies, or MD, are a group of inherited conditions. This means they are passed down through families. They may occur in childhood or adulthood. There are many different types of muscular dystrophy. They include:
Muscular dystrophy can affect adults, but the more severe forms tend to occur in early childhood.
Symptoms vary among the different types of muscular dystrophy. All of the muscles may be affected. Or, only specific groups of muscles may be affected, such as those around the pelvis, shoulder, or face. The muscle weakness slowly gets worse and symptoms can include:
Intellectual disability is present in some types of muscular dystrophy.
A physical examination and your medical history will help the doctor determine the type of muscular dystrophy. Specific muscle groups are affected by different types of muscular dystrophy.
The doctor's exam may show:
Some types of muscular dystrophy involve the heart muscle, causing cardiomyopathy or abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmias ).
Often, there is a loss of muscle mass (wasting ). This may be hard to see because some types of muscular dystrophy cause a buildup of fat and connective tissue that makes the muscle appear larger. This is called pseudohypertrophy.
A muscle biopsy may be used to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases, a DNA blood test may be all that is needed.
Other tests may include:
There are no known cures for the various muscular dystrophies. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms.
Physical therapy may help maintain muscle strength and function. Leg braces and a wheelchair can improve mobility and self-care. In some cases, surgery on the spine or legs may help improve function.
Corticosteroids taken by mouth are sometimes prescribed to children with certain muscular dystrophies to keep them walking for as long as possible.
The person should be as active as possible. No activity at all (such as bedrest) can make the disease worse.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
The severity of disability depends on the type of muscular dystrophy. All types of muscular dystrophy slowly get worse, but how fast this happens varies widely.
Some types of muscular dystrophy, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy in boys, are deadly. Other types cause little disability and people have a normal lifespan.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling is advised when there is a family history of muscular dystrophy. Women may have no symptoms, but still carry the gene for the disorder. Duchenne muscular dystrophy can be detected with about 95% accuracy by genetic studies done during pregnancy.

By AMY RENEE LEIKER
The Wichita Eagle
WICHITA -- Three women sat, gathered around a table, alternating smiles and laughter with comforting embraces and tears.
Each said she is a part of the others. But their connection isn't through blood.
A teenage boy killed on Labor Day 14 years ago is the source of their bond.
"Part of my son is still alive in them," Kay Owens said, dabbing at her eyes.
"Literally," Trish Pooley chimed in. "Very few of us have the chance to be given life again through an anonymous gift."
Kay Pope nodded. "Without him, I wouldn't be here. ... We thank God for him."
In a rare meeting between the families of organ donors and organ recipients, the trio met in Wichita on Saturday to share a meal and stories about 17-year-old Bryan Owens -- a boy who, with his death, had such a great impact on each of their lives, The Wichita Eagle (http://is.gd/S65vTk ) reported.
The gathering, a quiet afternoon affair arranged at a north Wichita restaurant, was a first introduction between Pooley and Pope, both 60. Each received an organ from Bryan Owens after an ATV accident left the teen brain-dead in September 1999.
Kay Owens had met each woman before.
As they chatted, the women looked at ease. But their friendship -- forged after exchanging anonymous letters -- is uncommon.
"For the past year or two, we've had very few (families) that go on to meet in person," said Brooke Connell, a spokeswoman for the Midwest Transplant Network, which helped facilitate Saturday's gathering. "We have several (donors and recipients) who write letters back and forth, but that's as far as it goes."
Making contact
Owens said she and her husband, Dean, chose to donate their only son's kidneys, liver, pancreas and corneas in the aftermath of his crash.
Bryan was hospitalized on Sept. 6, 1999, after he jumped a small ditch with his four-wheeler and "didn't land right," his mother said. The impact left him with a brain stem injury and a skull fracture.
Doctors declared him brain-dead a day later.
"The decision itself -- whether to donate or not to donate -- wasn't difficult," Owens said. Her son, she explained, loved to help others.
"The hard part was having to go through the laundry list of questions they ask you about your child. ... Things you really wouldn't think about about your 17-year-old."
Meanwhile, as the Owenses grieved, Pope's liver failed during a trip to Missouri from her home in California. Doctors told her husband if they "didn't find a liver in three days, I wouldn't make it," she said.
"My husband walked around to the nearby churches and asked them all to pray."
Bryan's liver was available on the third day.
For Pooley, a Topeka resident, Bryan's kidney came after 10 years of dialysis and eight attempts to obtain a transplant. Frustrated, she asked to be removed from the organ transplant list for six months in 1999.
A transplant coordinator told her to wait 10 more days. On the ninth, a phone call came, saying Bryan's kidney was a match.
After the transplants, Owens said she wrote to each recipient. For the first year, the letters were kept anonymous. But later the women exchanged names, giving them a chance to meet.
"I immediately felt compelled to contact these people who received part of my child," she said. "It was a very big help in my healing -- just knowing that someone else was alive because of his death. And that something positive could come out of the negative."
Generous spirit' At their home in Stillwater, Okla., Pope and her husband, Chris, keep a black-and-white portrait of Bryan among other family photos that are hung on a living room wall.
"That picture holds a prominent spot there," Chris Pope said, showing a snapshot of the grouping on his cellphone at Saturday's gathering.
At Pooley's home, the 17-year-old's photos sit on a table near her bed.
"The first thing I see when I get up and the first thing I see when I go to bed is Bryan's face," Pooley said.
"This boy had the most generous spirit. Generosity is part of his soul."
Owens smiled at her friends, then glanced down at a photo button pinned to her blouse. Bryan grinned back.
"It is amazing that these two people are sitting here right now because of a gift from my son -- an organ that he can't use in heaven," she said.
"They are both amazing people and they've done amazing things, and they are very thankful for the decision that he made."
Nearly 120,000 people are awaiting organ donations, according to the Midwest Transplant Network's website. To become an organ donor, join the national donor registry at www.mwtn.org, www.donatelifekansas.com or at local driver's license stations.

Typical buildings at Smoketown will be oriented east to west, and will have high ceilings, front and side porches, and ramps.
Interiors will be kept light and airy, promoting cross ventilation. In addition, construction will be done with recycled wood framomg, recycled insulation, low VOC paints, and high efficiency mechanical systems.

Marilys R. Nepomechie's proposal for revitalizing Smoketown, a historic African-American neighborhood in Louisville, Ky., won wide praise from our judges, with one applauding the "considerable research into creating a sustainable housing strategy in the community."
The design for Smoketown, which dates back to the Civil War, calls for a sustainable land plan that focuses on the remediation of urban structures, restoring land-use patterns, and expanding community spaces for the public. In addition to the bold scheme for rain gardens, rooftop urban farming, and pervious paving, the architect proposes contextual architecture that references the area's brickmaking heritage. "The house type is long skinny shotgun with a variety of configurations for 1- and 2-story units and various sizes," Nepomechie, FAIA, says. Studios and other multifamily structures will be included.
Buildings will be sustainable, with Energy Star appliances, denim insulation, and high-efficiency HVAC systems. They will be oriented "to permit natural ventilation and to minimize heat gain," the architect explains

Barbara Gilhooly, a St. Paul, Minnesota artist, repurposes old Erector set girders to make art.
As an artist I use found objects, wire, wood and many recycled or re-purposed materials to create. I have been known for my wire sculptural work and one of the forms I create in wire are 3-D hearts.
The erector set hearts began as a small experiment in my studio using the long girder pieces from an old erector set I formed a three dimensional heart about 10 inches long. What interests me is combining the industrial material and hardware with a very organic or soft form. This contrast appeals to me as a metaphor, as well. The whole 'broken heart' idea turned into a durable 'industrial heart"!
In terms of making the hearts: I use mostly vintage Erector sets with the original hardware and some pop rivets. Most were found on ebay. I've made over a dozen hearts and the sizes range from 18″ to 5″ in length. I bend the girders and shape with my hands and rubber mallet to form the curves. I work intuitively, I make the overall shape and then fill in with cross bracing.

Performance golf ball fitting focuses on finding the best ball for your game and lowering your score.
Titleist offers the most precise club fitting experience in the game.
Need to customize headwear, gloves, bags, or golf balls?
Track your stats. Get video tips. Set goals for your golf game.
there are a lot of very good points being made here about how to shape the ball.
my 2 cents is this - I think it is the most effective way, long term, and the most effective way to shape the ball on the golf course - you want to hit a fade, imagine and feel what type of swing you need to make to hit that shape shot. You want to hit a draw, imagine and feel what swing would shape the ball that way.
I find the best way to do it is set up square to your target, making sure that you club face is point to where you want the ball to end up. Then, for a draw, close your stance and vice versa for a fade. Then, just swing along your foot line. The draw swing will obviously be from the inside out and the fade from the outside in. The fade is easier for me to control, and to have more control over the draw I have to make sure I stay down a little longer than I think. This way, It is always the same release and swing but I can move the ball both ways with relative ease without having to try to roll my hands or do something that I don't often practice. I find it is the most reliable way to control ball movement.
Hello Proctor,
Find your local PGA teaching professional and take a lesson. There is no cookie cutter formula. A good teaching pro will work with your natural swing and come up with a simple method to hit draws and fades.
Keep it in the fairway!
I found this video on youtube and it makes a lot of sense. It also seems quite easy to try. Here is the link to it.
Check out this youtube...This is something to do with the way you release the club head and timing. I believe Nate has the roll release.
I started playing more shape to my shots idea in my strategy on the course. It came from wanting more control on my longer shots/drives.
First I freely admit that I am not happy with a driver, I prefer irons and particulary for distance a 4w,5w and 3i and now a 910H. so that I have been sorted for this new club I want first see how well I hit it on the course.
In short, my own shortcomming become an advantage that I know my tendencies to hook or hard draw a ball when not mindful of it, also what clubs this happens with-
common hooks are with the short irons 7,8,9,pw etc because right handed we naturally power though the swing with more right side and less left (ie the left hand is weak) so set up is important.
additionally a closed or square stance will have the swing come steeply out in, even if you don't have a grip issue. Grip constantly is how most shape the ball, the hands will turn over either later or earlier. Earlier is the cause of many hooks of those with a weak right/short of neutral rather than stong/neutral. At most with a weak/neural right handed player will have a constant draw effect in their game.
right handers can do the fade once the know how they can stop hooks, aim a bit left and a neutral left or strong left with a neutral right weaker. It allow the clubface to square later making you 'hold' on to a square club face abit longer through impact. The result is left to right.
Forget what people say about shaping it with your hands because it's only part truths- the grip and setup is all, and when you understand that simply shooting straight (which is harder than draw or fade ) 100% of the time requires a set up perfect. change one other element from use short iron for draw and add long for fades.
this is why so many slice with the driver- long is an in out arc and can slice across the ball easier than any other club if you don't square that face in time. Tempo is variable your set up to hit a fade with aim left shy and neutral/stronger left hand than right will work for many and has.
MY trick to mind for shaping fades/draws is to hold on through implact or release and let the hand turn over faster. . Easy?
draw/hook -stance closed, squared or right of target weak grip for right hander and strong left- so your power side or guiding right side flips the clubface quick. - Grip or use OR favor or one hand throught the shot.
fade/slice- stace square open, left of target strong grip where the left swing and the right guide through holding on with a stronger grip.
forget about the club head other than it is constant in your set up and square to the targer work on the stance slightly and the hold on with long irons and the swing with the fast turnover for the short irons.
one last thing don't think about the swing ever in terms of hand turning or not turning, just impact following the ball or not is enough imo. hope some of this helps. I meet alot of fellas who swing real fast for distance and hook bady. they oftern feel they need a adustable hosel club and in many cases it is a really fine thing to purchase. They make the job easier- once you have it -it's your's for what it's worth the effort.
Ball fit:
low compress balls are easier to draw hook than tour? It's preferance feel, either but the way the club interacts with the cover of that ball is what makes it more shapeable during a shot like the PRov1's. The slick iomer or urethane in competition with the quatiity of the ball against your clubs is important.
if it isn't than you probably have a grind wheel and files and sharpen up your bag before each round.
If you want help figuring out how to shape shots, watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-89M1vt66FA
This is Joseph Mayo, known by many as the Trackman Maestro. He will show you exactly how a ball curves and what will influence the ball to curve.
But let me tell you something first. For a fade, don't listen to anyone who tells you to open the face and you stance and cut across the ball, that will simply create a weak high shot that starts right and keeps going right. A cut is a ball that starts left and then curves back to the intended target (Ideally). Also do not listen to anyone who tells you that you need to manipulate the clubhead through impact simply using your hands. This should explain why. When the clubhead strikes the ball, the ball is on the clubface for 4/10,000 of a second. That is 10 times faster than your eyes blink. So if you honestly think you can get a CONSISTENT result from manipulating your hands through impact, good luck. The way to curve the ball is based on your setup with your body and the clubface.
So for a cut, you can open you stance, and have the clubhead pointed at the same target as your feet, but keep your shoulder plane at the intended target for where you want the ball to finish. Then simply take the club back normally, and then really fire your hips through the ball. The closed face will start the ball to the left, and if you make sure you lag your hands properly, the clubface will naturally be held off a bit forcing the ball to start left and spin right.
Again, watch this video for more help
That is the worst way to ever shape shots, have you ever read a book by any good tour player or teaching pro? For a draw you face your club to your desired landing zone and align your feet, hips, shoulders right of the target and simply swing alone that line, this causes your club at impact to be faced at the target and your swing path puts the draw spin on the ball. CONSISTENT
With irons your AOA is negative...this will always send your ball to the right . I set up closed so that at impact my club head is open to the target line and closed to the swing path for draw...Club head closed to target line and open to swing path for fade with open stance
Proctor Ford I saw a post earlier on this same topic and had a few questions. (I am right handed). I was wondering what the easiest way to hit a draw/fade was and how to control the amount of draw/fade it has. I feel if i could shape shots off the tee I would be in much better position on my second shot. Thanks.
