Everyone had told you that the romance in any relationship only lasted during the dating period, and that when you got married you could kiss that romance goodbye. They were wrong about that.
You had been married for two years to the Spaniard of your dreams. Antonio... God, even thinking about him still made a smile appear on your face. Sometimes he would bring you breakfast in bed with no reason behind the action beside the fact that he could. It was only last month that he had taken you out to go dancing with him, buying you a new dress for the occasion.
Then, people had told you that once you had children, you could tell the sex goodbye, because for the first few years you would barely have enough energy to kiss your spouse goodnight.
You smirked as you felt the clean sheets twist around your bare body. You sure showed them, didn't you?
Your head was rested on Antonio's bare chest, your ear pressed to his skin so you could hear his steady, reliant heartbeat as his lightly calloused fingers (that you assumed were calloused only because he enjoyed strumming on his guitar so often) ran through your (h/l) (h/c) locks.
"You are fantastic," he murmured, pressing his lips lovingly to your temple as you giggled quietly, twisting a leg around one of his own.
A hum buzzed behind your lips before you spoke, your tone sleepy and light. "I love you." Anyone would be able to hear the smile in your voice, even if they weren't looking at you.
Antonio grinned down at you, his shaggy brown bedhead dipping in front of his eyes just slightly. "And I love you."
You sighed, closing your eyes as you again rested your head on his muscular chest, your fingers tracing small circles on his tan skin. You could easily fall asleep now. The air around you was quiet and calm, and with Antonio's arms around you, you were sure that you were slowly being lowered into unconsciousness.
And then you were suddenly awake.
You heard the quiet sounds of laughter coming from your living room.
You perked up for a moment, confused before your sleepy mind was finally able to comprehend just what was going on. You smiled, looking up towards the bright green eyes of your husband. "Sounds like the kids are up," you laughed, hugging his waist as you felt him do the same to you.
It was Sunday, so it was a given that your children would be up, their blankets and pillows scattered on the floor, pajamas still on, and the early morning cartoons on. You shook your head, pulling the covers up towards your chin.
"Too early," you groaned, hiding your smile under the covers. "How are those kids up if they have my DNA?"
You felt Antonio's chest rumble. "I've always been an early riser, mi bonita chica. Maybe they take after their father."
You peeked your head out of the covers just long enough to stick your tongue out at him, smirking. "Definitely not. They're normal."
Antonio only rolled his eyes, bending his head down for a moment to peck your lips before he rolled out of bed, walking towards his dresser. You smirked, rolling onto your stomach, kicking your legs in the air as you watched his naked form move as he slipped on his boxers. He slipped on one of his oversized shirt, raking his fingers through his shaggy, sandy brown hair, shooting you one of his innocent grins. "Are you getting up?"
You smiled, sitting up in bed, drawing the covers up with you. "Maybe..."
Antonio's grin suddenly morphed into a smirk, and before you really knew what was happening, he was in front of you, pushing you back down onto the bed, a hand placed on either side of your body, caging you down. "As much as I love to see you with nothing on..." He trailed sweet, slow kisses down your bare neck as he spoke. "You might want to get dressed for breakfast..."
You smiled, slowly raking your fingers through his hair. "Well... Alright."
And suddenly his warm body was gone, leaving you with a pout on your lips. He chuckled at your expression, walking towards the door. "I'll start breakfast." He sent a flirty wink your way, smiling as he quickly ducked out of your bedroom, closing the door behind him.
You took a moment to smile, listening as the two of your kids squealed as Antonio no doubt ran into the room, tickling them to better wake them up. Eventually, you got out of bed, pulling on an old t-shirt and some sweatpants.Although only moments ago you had dreaded leaving the warmth of your bed because you knew you would have to set foot onto the cold floors of your house, but now that you could clearly hear the happy giggles of your three year old twins accompanied by the deep chuckle of your husband, nothing made you want to get out of bed and see them more.
You practically ran to your door, throwing it open and looking down the length of your hallway, being able to see just a sliver of your living room, but that was enough room for you to get a glimpse of just what was going on. You could see Antonio, with both of your babies climbing on his legs, trying their best to tackle him, but failing horribly, seeing as only moments later you saw Antonio wrestle them to the ground, tickling their sides, making them grin and kick and squeal.
You smiled, slowly making your way down the hall. Your romantic life was completely intact, as was your sex life, and you had the most perfect of families. Resting a hand briefly on your stomach, you inwardly smirked, wondering just how your perfect family would react when they found out that there would soon be another addition to your family.

The critics of the Decision Review System were shouting from the rooftops on Sunday when Australia bore the brunt of two horror decisions in Sydney.
But rather than criticise the umpires, the blame should sit squarely at the feet of the Australian players.
Let's get one thing clear. David Warner and Moises Henriques both copped absolute stinking decisions on Sunday. Bad luck to them.
But as Michael Clarke pointed out after the match, umpires make mistakes just as players do. Making mistakes is a part of cricket and a part of human nature.
And a mistake by Clarke could have cost his team the match.
In one-day internationals, each team gets one incorrect referral per innings. Such a restriction was criticised by Warner on Monday, who called for each team to get two incorrect referrals per innings.
But restricting referrals to just one per team encourages players to only use the DRS for what it is designed to do - eliminate the howler.
The bottom line is that if Michael Clarke had not wasted Australia's one referral on a tight LBW call early in the innings, both Warner and Henriques would have been able to refer the decisions against them and earn a reprieve.
In fact, Warner contributed to his own demise when he appeared to advise Clarke to risk Australia's referral, even though replays showed the ball was hitting Clarke in line and cannoning into middle stump.
Australia took a massive risk by referring Clarke's dismissal and it came back to bite them.
Sri Lanka also took a huge risk early in the match, referring a not out LBW appeal against Warner.
Like Clarke's referral, it was a poor decision by the Sri Lankans. The ball pitched outside leg stump and was swinging down the leg side.
Sri Lanka took a risk, got it wrong and left themselves vulnerable to copping a bad decision later on. That's their prerogative and like Australia, they would have had no one to blame but themselves if a decision went against them later in the innings.
Those calling for the third umpire to intervene when a bad decision is made clearly haven't watched the Ryobi Cup this season.
The third umpire intervention system was a complete and utter failure and was abandoned after players and coaches called for its immediate removal.
Instead of putting more and more pressure on the umpires, players should take full responsibility for the DRS.
If a player wants to waste everyone's time by using a referral on a tight decision, they do so knowing they risk exposing their team to a poor decision later in the innings.
If they use referrals just for what they're meant to be used for - to eliminate obvious poor decisions - we can all get on with playing cricket.

Social media storm as Google features Cesar Chavez on Easter Sunday
Some confuse Cesar Chavez with Hugo Chavez
On Easter Sunday, Google featured Cesar Chavez, a month that riled Christians on social media sites.
Anti-Google tweets came fast and furious Sunday, slamming Google for choosing Chavez over Jesus Christ. Sunday would have been the 86th birthday of the labor leader and activist.
One tweet protestor said, "I'm going to Bing" -- the biggest competitor of Google.
But Bing didn't feature Jesus Christ either, option instead for brightly colored Easter Eggs.
Google hadn't produced an Easter doodle since 2000. It said it often recognizes historical figures on its search page.
Can I just say how disappointed I am that it is Easter Sunday but google chooses to celebrate Cesar Chavez's 86th birthday instead.. #What?
— A True, Genuine Lady (@TrueGenuineLady) March 31, 2013
Google thinks Cesar Chavez is more important than Easter. #whoareyou #happyeaster

Google is celebrating the 86th birthday of Cesar Chavez. Isn't there something more important to celebrate today?
— beautiful disaster. (@_SpiderSchmidt_) March 31, 2013
When you go to Google, it doesn't wish you a happy Easter. No, instead it's celebrating Cesar Chavez's 86th birthday. Really Google?
— Katelyn Mullins (@km_mullins) March 31, 2013
@google Why would you decide to celebrate the birth of Cesar Chavez today and ignore the death and rising of Jesus Christ? #wow
— kenryanjr (@kenryanjr) March 31, 2013
google is celebrating cesar chavez's 86th birthday. bing is celebrating Easter. I guess I'll be using Bing now
— Eric Goins (@ego1231) March 31, 2013
Then some people got Cesar Chavez mixed up with Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president who recently died:
Happy Easter to all.Hallelujah, He has risen!Very sad to see Google honoring Hugo Chavez today and not the Savior of all mankind.
— Steve Doell (@HerrDoell) March 31, 2013
So, on Easter Google chooses to honor Hugo Chavez. How does that make you feel?
— William (B. J.) Sons (@SonsHomes) March 31, 2013
Our Savior has arisen and #Google wants to honor #HugoChavez sad very sad...
— J pbocke (@Bigballzz77) March 31, 2013
Dear people angry tweeting that Google replaced Jesus w/ HUGO Chavez, God wants you to stop using Twitter. #TrustMe

Militarizing Cyberspace
To preserve the open Internet we must stop the cyber arms race.
It has become fashionable these days to express skepticism about "cyber war"–and for good reason. The concept is ill defined; it has been used to describe everything from defacing websites to attacking critical infrastructure to committing espionage over computer networks. More troubling is that many of the heralds of cyber war have a commercial stake in the cyber security market. Some may have more ulterior motives for ramping up fears, such as a desire to fan the flames of Sino-American rivalry or to diminish privacy on the Internet.
But a troubling shift toward censorship, surveillance, and–yes–militarization in cyberspace is very real. Internet filtering is increasingly accepted worldwide, companies have imposed heavy-handed copyright controls, and surveillance in both the public and private sectors is widespread. Meanwhile, there are no international rules of engagement in this domain, and a burgeoning ecosystem of crime and espionage–cultivated by shadowy actors and state intelligence systems that stand to benefit–is ensnaring governments, civil society, and industry (see "Moore's Outlaws"). All this could soon generate a perfect storm. Individuals might withdraw from cyberspace altogether, gradually eroding the network effects that have benefited us for 20 years.
All armed conflict today invariably includes a cyberspace component: think of the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war; the 2008 Russian-Georgian war over South Ossetia; the ongoing hostilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia; and domestic hostilities in Burma, Tibet, Pakistan, and, most recently, Thailand (among numerous other places). Be it through kinetic strikes on the infrastructure of information and communications technology, missile attacks targeted with the aid of cellular geolocation, espionage that makes fraudulent use of social networks, or privateering that disables key computer networks at critical times, warfare has taken on this dimension because cyberspace is the strategic communications environment in which we all live.
Although invoking fears of an electronic Pearl Harbor may be overheated rhetoric, an arms race in cyberspace creates an environment in which crime, espionage, malware, denial of service, filtering, and surveillance prosper and thrive. In the rush to reject alarmism about cyber war, we should not lose sight of the very real geopolitical conflict that has insinuated itself into this domain and threatens to subvert its architecture. The militarization of cyberspace is not a fantasy but an urgent problem requiring immediate solutions.
Ronald Deibert is director of the Citizen Lab at the Munk school of global affairs at the University of Toronto.

With four persons dead and scores of innocent individuals injured in the Boston blasts, it is a big relief for not only Bostonians but all peace-loving citizens that a tough week has come to a close with the death of one suspect and the capture of the other. Unlike in the September 11, 2001 attacks, technology played a dominant role in zeroing in on the culprits of the Boston blasts, with the public aiding the investigative authorities by supplying photographs and visuals to piece the event together. Unfortunately, the same social media also spread false rumours.
Varad Seshadri,
With one suspect killed and the second caught alive, Barack Obama must have heaved a sigh of relief. The involvement of the two well groomed and smart looking Chechen brothers has given rise to the question why they did what they did. Why did they target civilians at a sports event?
Let us ponder why a democratically elected government in Chechnya was brought down. The question 'why' is also to be asked about American policies on Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt and some more countries. Can America sleep peacefully when millions around the world cannot, thanks to the devastating military attacks on their civilian population?
Hamza ben Abdul Rahman,

A Good Day To Die Hard - 'Jai Courtney' FeaturetteReported by Outsiders - 02:31 PM 2012.12.14
Jai Courtney, the Aussie actor who plays John McClane's estranged son, Jack in the latest Die Hard movie, explains in this new one-minute featurette for "A Good Day to Die Hard" that "being a family is not always about agreeing with each other ... It's about blood!" Which we assume, he means John and Jack are going to have some contentious father-and-son bonding time, and it's going to involve a whole lot of dead bodies. Guess a family that kills together, stays together, right? The movie, which sees McClane (Bruce Willis) teaming up with his son (an undercover CIA agent) to stop a nuclear terrorist attack from taking place in Moscow, opens in theaters February 14th. Bruce Willis is back as iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, who for the first time finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack (Jai Courtney) unaware that Jack is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes. A Good Day to Die Hard stars Bruce Willis, Jai Courtney, Cole Hauser, Amaury Nolasco, Mary Elizabeth Winstead Release: February 14th, 2013

No way @!@@ I order some parts for my huge brew for this weekend. when the package showed up this week. They werent there!!! So I called them. The guys name was Kyle. OH wait, first thing im east coast so I left a message at like 6 in morning west coast time. they never called me back. Then I called 3 times and waited over 30 mins on hold and no one ever picked up. Finally on my ride home i get a hold of Kyle. OH my man Kyle. Kyle let me know that he didnt think that was poor customer service. What ever I am so angry right now I am shaking. They are too big and under staffed bottom line!!! I will never ever be treated like that again. EVER!!

Did you get the parts? Still brewing this weekend?
I've never ordered from them, mainly because of poor selection. Thanks for sharing your experience. I've heard more bad than good about them so I doubt I'll ever order anything from them. There's plenty of good on-line suppliers out there anyway.
Were they actually delivered at your house? Who did they use? I would call them and ask about it.....UPS or FEDEX or whoever........ If you have a tracking # they should be able to tell what driver delivered the package......

My impression from the OP is that he got the package, but it was missing stuff.
That is my impression as well. Sorry to hear about your experience.
Dude that sucks. If you're East Coast and not in GA, order from Brewmaster's warehouse. You want good customer service? Ed will be there for you 110% of the time.
Courage les garçons, et patience, vos femmes vont finir par apprécier la bière !
Two words for you: Brewmaster's Warehouse. End of discussion. Ed defines customer service.
This should be a sub-forum topic in its on. Basically bad vendor experiences to make aware of bad vendors on ebay, brew sites, etc. Could help alot of people before they make mistakes. But also working in retail I know that bad customer service can not represent the entire company; but sometime just a single bad apple. Making the company aware of this individual or whoever made the mistake to make the OP originally suffer (perhaps the shipping department). I'm glad I have a well stocked LHBS and have not had to deal with online sources yet.

Here's my build thread to duplicate the VT-3 setup from NHT.
The original VT-3 system had an upper chamber using two 6.5" woofers, one 5.25" midrange, and one tweeter. The lower compartment had two 10" subwoofers.
Link to a review:
Well, as luck would have it, my last subwoofer built just so happened to use twelve of the exact 10" subwoofers from the VT-3. I believe that I have the bass portion nailed down.
So, that leaves me to build the upper front compartment, which is pretty much exactly like the matching VC-3 center and the VR-3 surrounds. I contacted Jack Hidley and he was able to get all the exact drivers, the original crossover, and even the build plans!
I have the finalized outside dimensions for the upper compartment and the center channel. The original had laminate over 3/4" mdf. Jack went to work and decided that 1" mdf could be used with no laminate and get the same strength, which of course would also be easier. Plus it would allow for roundovers, which he believes should sound better.

Okay, time to update this thread. I'm going to go into a bit more detail about this build because I know there are others that are going to be building this as well. Plus, Jack mentioned that he may eventually have a very similar speaker kit to this one if he gets enough interest.
I got some of the components for this build last week, and got the rest of it today. Jack had to cut the aluminum tweeter heatsinks which took extra time.
So here's what I have for each kit: Keep in mind, it also came with some screws, fiberglass, and some other needed parts, but this is the main stuff.
You can see the aluminum bar for the heastsink over between by the crossover. That attaches to the back of the tweeter.
The sun kinda made the speakers look a little funny, but it is what it is.

I had my 1" mdf cut into two 4'x4' sections so it's easier to handle. The nice thing about this enclosure is that it's 24" tall. So basically, if you cut your sides for one box, you make one swath at 8 5/16" and then cut that into 24" lengths. Then mark those two pieces as "box 1". So even if you're off a little on your next cut, it won't matter, the sides for Box 1 should be identical. I did the same thing for the top/bottom as well. I didn't cut all the pieces for 3 boxes, and then shuffle them up and hope they all were exactly the same.
I cut the top and sides to the exact measurements needed. But I cut the front and back an extra 1/16" larger on each side, so basically added an extra 1/8" to Length and Width. The flush trim router bit will smooth that out later, and allows for a little play when you finally get it all together.
I happen to have some really nice corner brackets to use to get the box nice and square. They aren't really needed, but they might help. I used regular Titebond wood glue for the job.
Then I clamped the heck out of the box!!! Yes, it looks like a bit of over kill!

I know the Titebond directions say you can take the clamps off after about an hour, but I don't chance it and just leave it 24 hours. Then the backs went on.
Here's the overhang on the back that I was talking about (the front has the same overhang). It's not the best photo, but you can see it.
That slight burn on the wood was because that was my first sheet on the table saw and it's not so easy to steady a 4'x4' sheet of 1" mdf by yourself on the first swath!
But I knew it was going to be flush trimmed anyway.
Obviously, that bottom piece of mdf isn't part of the enclosure, that's just the top of my "bench".

The next task I chose was to go ahead and flush trim the rear panel. I used a 1" flush trim bit for the router, but I should have bought a longer bit. It worked just fine though, but a 1.25" would have been quicker.
After I ran the flush trim bit over it, I decided to use the smallest roundover bit I had on the back. It might have been less than 1/4", I can't recall. If I was going to use veneer, I would have left it square. But they will be painted, so I thought a slight roundover looked better.
Then I used an orbital sander to really clean up the joints/seams. I also used 150 grit sandpaper to very lightly go over my tiny roundovers by hand.
Here's how that all turned out. This is the back of the box:
And here's a close up of the edges:

Next I cut a piece of drawing paper to the dimensions of the baffle and drew out exactly where the drivers were going to go. The woofers are in the same position for the center and the mains, so I just made one drawing, but I drew out both places for the mids and all three places for the tweeters on the same piece of paper. I can send this paper to anyone that may need to lay out the baffle. It was real easy to mark the center hole for each driver this way.
The hardest part of this build will likely be the tweeter mount. So I wanted to cut that first, because if that gets messed up, there's no reason to cut anymore holes in that baffle!
Here's why it's hard: There are no screws on the front, it sits back into a recess and gets held in place from the back of the tweeter. Well, the difference between the tweeter through hole and the recess is only 1/16". So you can't mess up! I tried this 2 times on a seperate board, then went ahead and gave it a final run.
I wrote down the exact hole I used on my circle jig if anyone is interested. Mine was set at 1 15/16" for the outer recess hole and 1 7/8" for the cut through hole. Obviously, everyones jig could be slighly off, so you would run a trial first. The recessed area is 4.5mm deep. Yeh, I actually got it right too!
Here's how it turned out: Keep in mind, I haven't done any light sanding yet.
I should mention that the inner hole is slightly too small at the size I listed for the jig. But you can't move it up any bigger, or the tweeter will fall through. So after you make the cut, you need to sand the inner circle down.
When sanding it down, you must sand from the back of the baffle. If you sand from the front, you may smooth out that nice little lip that holds the tweeter in place. I learned from that mistake, luckily it was on a trial piece. I just used a tiny piece of 150 grit that wrapped around my index finger.
Honestly, after my trial run, it wasn't that hard. I was overly worried about it.

Here's a real good tip that probably saved my butt on the tweeter cut out. After you cut all the way through your hole, the spinning router can jerk over a litle bit because the circle you just cut can now freely slide around. The router could dig into the side of your hole. Not good.
To keep that from happening, you should nail down the inside of the circle, then clamp the rest of the baffle to the work bench. That way, nothing moves, even if you cut all the way through.
I used a nail gun, but you could use finishing nails. Just make sure you counter sink them so the router doesn't get hung up.
This photo shows my center hole for the circle jig, and how I nailed each circle down.
When your baffle is also clamped down, everything stays put until you're done spinning that router.

Looking real good so far. You are much better taking your time and measuring 2,3,4 times to make sure that things are cut properly than screwing a piece up and having to scrap it. This should turn out very nice.
What is the tally so far for all of the drivers and crossover components?

The outer circle on the woofer was done at the 7" mark on my jig and fits perfect. Then I set it at 6.5", then 6 1/16" to clean away the recess area. It needs to be 3mm deep, just like the midrange. So it would make sense to set the router depth and make sure you knock out all of the recessed areas on the woofers and mids at the same time.
I made my midrange recess at 5.75" for the outer portion. I think I may have been able to go 1/16" smaller, so you might want to check that. It looked good, but the more I see it, I think 1/16" smaller could have worked.
Then I made the woofer through hole cut, which happens to be 5.75".
Next I did the midrange through hole at 4.75".
Obviously, if your building this kit, you should test out your own jig measurements, I'm just giving a starting point to look at.
Here's a close up of 3mm deep recess:

Thanks, I've been lucky so far with no major mistakes....knock on wood (or mdf)!
The tally was about $150 per kit. I did buy the Jasper jig circle cutter from Parts Express. I got the one for small holes and the other one for large holes.....in a bundle package for a decent price.

So today I used a 1/2" chamfer bit on the back side of the cutouts.
I set the plunge router up just a slight bit for the tweeter so that it didn't get the full 1/2" chamfer. But the rest of the drivers did get the full 1/2".
I was going to use hurricane nuts to attach the drivers to the mdf. I even bought 100 from PE. But I've never used them before, and didn't want to experiment on these.
Keep in mind, this is my first speaker build besides my subwoofer, so I didn't want to chance messing it up. If I used the hurricane nuts, the recess holes for them probably would have been cut out prior to the chamfer bit being used.

And that brings me up until now.
Tonight I used diluted wood glue and painted everything inside and out to seal up the mdf. I taped off the front baffle where it would be glued to the box. I read that I should keep the glue off that area, so I did.
I just mixed up 2 cups of wood glue to 1 cup of water. But ya know, I did squeeze in just a bit more glue for fun. Probably about 1 tablespoon more?
No doubt that you guys are dying for a picture of my sweet gluing technique!
Sure thing:

Very nice. I take it you're not using the rear firing 5.25" mid and soft dome tweeter that the VT-3 has.
Out of curiosity, what was the cost of these per speaker from Jack?

No, just the front portion, pretty much a VR-3 and VC-3 setup, and I already have the VT-3 subs in my basement as well.
I can't recall the actual price per driver. Somewhere in the range of $14 each. But the crossover and tweeter were a bit more, which brought all of it up to $150 per VR-3 or VC-3 kit.

Yeh, I was a bit surprised at how nice the crossovers were. The tweeter crossover is on the back of the terminal cup. I'm thinking about unscrewing that from the terminal cup and mounting it directly inside the box and just running seperate posts into the enclosure. It will make for a much easier installation as well as a clean look. Not sure just yet.

Very impressive. It looks like you're a seasoned, professional speaker box builder. It's hard to believe that these are your first, except for your already legendary (12) 10" 083 VT3 subwoofer build. Great job! And I for one greatly appreciate all the little details you've documented in your build thread.

Yup, first time. The box construction isn't too hard. But if I had to build the crossovers, it would have made this job very difficult for me. I know as much about building crossovers as your typical 10 year old! So it would've been a major learning curve.
And honestly, after seeing these, I'd be a bit worried about trying to build something like that in a future project.

The makings of the inner baffle. These had to be built from 1/2" mdf. This was the easy stuff....
After I finished building those, I sealed them with diluted wood glue as well.
I did a trial "dry run" by sliding them in with no glue, I just used a clamp to pull the enclosure sides together to hold it in place while I measured exactly where it had to go. Then I traced the inner chamber on the sidewalls so I would know where to start applying glue. Rubbed glue on the sidewalls and the innerbaffle, then it slid right where I needed it. Double clamped the baffle sides and it was good to go.
And here it is in place:

Now came the hard part! Figuring out where to drill the hole for the heat sink to fit in. It's small and needs to be directly behind the center of the tweeter cutout......5" away.
This is a different NHT speaker, but this is the general idea (E is the heatsink):
There are a couple issues with this. #1, it has to be exact. #2, my front baffle was made 1/16" larger all around to allow for flush trimming later. So when you figure out where the hole needs to be drilled, and take off the baffle, then the baffle needs to be glued exactly where it was when you lined up the tweeter hole in the first place.
My first thought: Cut a piece of cardboard the size of the tweeter and poke a tiny hole in the middle. Lay that in the cutout and shine a bright light on the cardboard. It should let light in just through the middle hole projecting the target on the inner baffle. Nope, the light scatters too much. I tried a laser, but moving the laser angle just a little bit threw off the target hole too much.
So I then found a small spray paint can cap that was the exact size of the tweeter cut out. I poked a tiny hole in the middle and ran a plumb bob through the cap, through the tweeter hole and it marked my target just right. Obviously, your work bench needs to be level.
If I took the baffle off at this point, I'd have no idea how to line it up later when it had to be glued. So while it was clamped together (no glue), I just drew straight lines from the baffle down the outside of the enclosure on all sides. That way, I could just line up the marks and know I was correct. It worked good.
After drilling the hole, I wanted to double check to make sure it was going to fit okay. I reclamped the baffle, installed the tweeter, and made sure everything was where it should be. Turns out, I did have to shift my baffle a very tiny amount, but this was nitpicking a bit. I got paranoid and decided my pencil lines needed to be more accurate. I ran painters tape over the baffle to the sides. Then used a razor blade to cut the tape at the seam. NOW it could easily be lined up later when gluing!

Well, I was able to use a roundover bit on the sides today. All 3 enclosures are now ready for paint.
I just used a 3/4" roundover bit versus the 1". Jack said it would be okay when I first ordered the kits, so I'm not worried.
I still need to lightly sand the edges and seal them with diluted wood glue, but they look pretty good right now......for my first speaker build anyway. I'm happy with how they turned out so far.
Can anyone give any pointers on how to paint these? I have some primer, but it's white. Will that hammered black Rustoleum show the white color through the thin parts of that finish? The hammered paint leaves some areas thick with paint, and other areas are very thin. So I'm wondering if you can see the primer color through those thin layers? If so, I will need to use grey primer I guess.
Also, can you apply more than one coat of that kind of finish or will it look a bit rough?

You had mentioned before that a 1" roundover would come pretty close to the tweeter in the center-channel cabinet. I see what you mean. Since I already have a 1" roundover bit, I will first test to see just how close it comes to the c-c tweeter by drawing the tweeter on a scrap piece of the MDF before rounding over the edge with my 1" radius bit. Thanks for saving me some serious headaches!

You should be. They look great! Those are some seriously good-looking cabinets. With your eye for detail, I know they will look pretty marvelous with the finish.

You need to seek wisdom from Master Shinobiwon (Kinobi?). I am but a padewon-learner. However, I have had a little experience with with the Hammered finish spray paint. About a year ago I converted some dark-grey shelving racks into a test rack for some electronic equipment where I worked at the time. Before assembling the shelves, I painted them with Rustoleum Hammered-Black spray paint. As you indicated above, you could see the dark grey in the thinned areas of the hammered finish. If you choose to go with the hammered finish, I highly recommend a dark grey primer.

Good question. I sprayed a little touch-up in a few places on those metal racks. While I did not notice a concentration of "hammer-blows" effects in the touched up areas, I did notice that I could no longer see the dark grey of the primer in those areas. The effect was not nearly pleasing as it was where you
see the dark grey of the primer. To even things out, i ended up re-spraying larger areas where I had touched-up, again with the hammered black, and it looked okay. That was my experience with the Hammered Black finish.
Also, in order to protect the hammered finish, I sprayed two or three coats of a clear ummm...either laquer or enamel. I forget now.
If you seal the hammered finish with a clear topcoat, you need to know that there are some things that will make the clear topcoat krinkle.
Temperature will cause weird problems, maybe krinkle. Not just the ambient temp. at the time you spray, either. Keep the cans of spray paint indoors if your garage will get cold overnight, so the paint inside the can will not be cold. That may not be a necessary precaution--I'm no expert--but it certainly won't hurt anything.
One krinkle-avoidance step you can take is to spray the clear topcoat before the hammered paint cures completely. The hammered finish can will tell you when the paint should be dry enough to accept another coat--should be about one hour--that's the time to spray the clear topcoat. If you miss the one-hour mark, you have to wait the full 48 hours for the paint to fully cure before spraying the topcoat, or you run the risk of krinkling the finish.
I hope this helps.

Thanks, that does help. Ya know, I'm curious how it would look if I sprayed the on white primer, then painted the entire cabinet a lighter blue......then did the hammered black.
I wonder if the cabinets would have a slight blue tint sort of like the individual drivers do?
I may try that on some spare mdf.
By the way PassingInterest, the 1" roundover should be okay. I debated about buying one, and I know you said I could borrow yours. But I figured that a 3/4" could be used more on other future builds, so I just bit the bullet today and bought one. If you decide to go with the 3/4", let me know, I'll send you you mine to use.

I appreciate that. I'll let you know.
Black & Blue...I have to admit that you've got me curious how that would look. Definately experiment on some scrap and post the pictures for us.
If you're trying to get a pretty close color match to the cones for your first coat (not counting primer), you could take a driver to Home Depot or Lowe's and have them do a computerized color match in the paint department. But, you'd have to brush-on the paint, unless you have the means to spray the paint that they mix for you.
Just a thought.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
It has been suggested that Multilayered architecture be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2013. |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2008) |
In software engineering, multi-tier architecture (often referred to as n-tier architecture) is a client–server architecture in which presentation, application processing, and data management functions are physically separated. The most widespread use of multi-tier architecture is the three-tier architecture.
N-tier application architecture provides a model by which developers can create flexible and reusable applications. By segregating an application into tiers, developers acquire the option of modifying or adding a specific layer, instead of reworking the entire application. A three-tier architecture is typically composed of a presentation tier, a domain logic tier, and a data storage tier.
While the concepts of layer and tier are often used interchangeably, one fairly common point of view is that there is indeed a difference. This view holds that a layer is a logical structuring mechanism for the elements that make up the software solution, while a tier is a physical structuring mechanism for the system infrastructure.[1] [2]
Three-tier architecture is a client–server architecture in which the user interface (presentation), functional process logic ("business rules"), computer data storage and data access are developed and maintained as independent modules, most often on separate platforms.[3] It was developed by John J. Donovan in Open Environment Corporation (OEC), a tools company he founded in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The three-tier model is a software architecture pattern.
Apart from the usual advantages of modular software with well-defined interfaces, the three-tier architecture is intended to allow any of the three tiers to be upgraded or replaced independently in response to changes in requirements or technology. For example, a change of operating system in the presentation tier would only affect the user interface code.
Typically, the user interface runs on a desktop PC or workstation and uses a standard graphical user interface, functional process logic that may consist of one or more separate modules running on a workstation or application server, and an RDBMS on a database server or mainframe that contains the computer data storage logic. The middle tier may be multi-tiered itself (in which case the overall architecture is called an "n-tier architecture").
Three-tier architecture:
In the web development field, three-tier is often used to refer to websites, commonly electronic commerce websites, which are built using three tiers:
Data transfer between tiers is part of the architecture. Protocols involved may include one or more of SNMP, CORBA, Java RMI, .NET Remoting, Windows Communication Foundation, sockets, UDP, web services or other standard or proprietary protocols. Often middleware is used to connect the separate tiers. Separate tiers often (but not necessarily) run on separate physical servers, and each tier may itself run on a cluster.
The end-to-end traceability of data flows through n-tier systems is a challenging task which becomes more important when systems increase in complexity. The Application Response Measurement defines concepts and APIs for measuring performance and correlating transactions between tiers. Generally, the term "tiers" is used to describe physical distribution of components of a system on separate servers, computers, or networks (processing nodes). A three-tier architecture then will have three processing nodes. The term "layers" refer to a logical grouping of components which may or may not be physically located on one processing node.

I like. Especially after I watched Proksa fight last weekend. This is what boxing is all about. The best fighting the best. Even tho Proksa may not be top 10 but from what Im reading around many feel he will grow to be a top dog at MW.

It's not happening guys, Proksa already told that September is too early for him to fight Barker because he feels that he needs so more rest. How can you expect him to go fight Golovkin just in a month time from his last fight that might've not been the biggest one, but he trained very hard to get that revange.

FORMER Worcestershire County Council leader Dr George Lord has pleaded guilty to three charges of indecent assault on an underage girl in the 1970s.
The Bromsgrove resident had already been convicted of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old woman in the council chamber in 2010 at a trial in January - details of which have only been allowed to be reported now.
Lord had denied the charges and was due to stand trial later this month (March). But at a hearing at Birmingham Crown Court today (Thursday) he changed his plea to guilty. He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced in April.
The three charges of indecent assault relate to a period in the 1970s when Lord groomed the 14-year-old.
Det Insp Jon Wallis, of West Mercia Police, said: "While these two cases were separated by many years, in both George Lord has abused a position of authority.
"In the first case in the 1970s, he groomed a teenage girl for his own gratification.
"Then in 2010, in his capacity as Leader of Worcestershire County Council, he took advantage of a young woman in a junior position. The women he targeted, who have been left traumatised by their ordeal, have shown great fortitude to support a prosecution and achieve justice for themselves.
"We would like to reassure any other victims of similar offences that if they come forward, West Mercia Police will support them and pursue prosecutions wherever possible, regardless of when the offence took place. We encourage them to contact us and at the very least we can put them in touch with local support agencies."
Lord resigned as council leader and as a councillor in November 2010. He also left his position on Bromsgrove District Council and on Bromsgrove Conservative Association.

Get a look at both pairs after the jump and hit up End Clothing out in the UK to get your pair.
