Cellar/Tasting Notes The Rosso di Montalcino is a younger wine, easier to enjoy and offers the less demanding side of Montalcino Sangiovese with immediate ready to drink wines yet still recognizable and with a strong territorial connotation.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino sweeps across the palate with superb richness and depth. Dark cherries, plums, spices, tobacco and menthol blossom as the wine opens up in the glass. A decidedly large-scaled, dramatic wine for the year, the 2008 impresses for its pure resonance and rich, enveloping..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an immediate, juicy wine with good depth and fine overall balance. Dark fruit, smoke, tobacco and herbs all add complexity on a finish supported by firm yet well-integrated tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes Casanova di Neri is the outcome of a process of productive and philosophical evolution, a new vision of Brunello di Montalcino that interprets tradition in a different innovative way. A profound commitment and respect for the land is the driving force of Casanova di Neri and the foundation for the..

I love those gunmetal gray horses that sometimes shows up in horses...I'd love her to have one that color.
Here's an article about social media and Zenyatta and Rachel A and colts. Have to look up Zenyatta's twitter.
Crows and Eville SQUIRRELS love peanuts!
Crows and Eville SQUIRRELS love peanuts!
He really takes after Mamma Z. Those ears are always up, checking out all the sounds.

Cute video. I thought the caption for the picture was funny, in that it listed Zenyatta in the left-to-right of who's who. As if anyone reading that article wouldn't know which one was Zenyatta in the picture.
I'm watching the Blue Grass right now and when Dr. Hansen said how everyone loved a white horse me and my brother instantly IM'd each other. Him: "Until you have to clean one." Me: "Until you own one and it rolls in poop." Every time I get bored of every single horse and pony I've had being a solid bay I look at the two piebalds at the barn and the grass and manure stains ground into the white and remind myself bay isn't so bad!
Crows and Eville SQUIRRELS love peanuts!
ETA: Hansen lead almost all the way and got picked off by Doullahan in the last eighth (he went from tenth to first in the last three-eighths.)
That's the cutest picture. He's so big already. And kind of chubby!
pictures I have seen of him as a foal show him as a very pale roan with a bright red mane.
Nice pics of Hansen.
New pics of Baby Z
Crows and Eville SQUIRRELS love peanuts!
Love all these baby pics.
On a related note, yesterday morning I met Peppers Pride, who had a 19 race win streak as well, in restricted New Mexico racing. She is a sweetheart and stood patiently, regarding me with a kind eye and a touch of "gimmee!" if I took too long breaking her cookie in half. (She likes them broken in pieces for her. ) Her boy, about a 2 month old colt, was less patient and would periodically dance around. He did not want me to pet him but sniffed my hand very curiously and then thought maybe he should taste me. I told him no, he couldn't chomp down on my hand. Kids. Anyway, it was exciting to meet her and get my picture taken with the two of them, and pet her on the nose.
They told me Distorted Humor is the sire. The colt is a feisty little guy and very cute. I could hardly blame him for being antsy since they would be turned out after their photo op with me.
I need to write the owner(s) a thank you note for allowing me to see her. It's nice of them to allow a total stranger to visit their prize mare.
Very cool. Wonder what they'll name him. Funny combinations can be had by combining their two names.
More baby pics of Zenyatta and her prince:
In the first one, he looks like he has her dance move down already.

Monster Jam
Although Monster Jam events are held year round, the traditional competitive season runs from January to March, with a few events to start off the season in November. During the winter run, it is not unusual for up to 10 events to be run in different areas on the same weekend, with one or two major stadium events with 10-16 trucks, and a group of smaller arena events with 4-8 trucks. The season culminates in the '12 Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas in late March. There is also a Monster Jam Europe tour in the summer and autumn, as well as a domestic series of summer events known as the '12 Monster Jam Summer Heat.

"Wait … we really have Monday off?"
"Yes we do, company holiday."
That was after a staff meeting and it changed things up quickly last weekend.
What to do … what to do …
"Oh daughter of mine … do we want to go skiing? I do not have to work on Monday."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
Now the strategy. Martin Luther King weekend is notoriously crowded, so one trick is to balance drive time with vertical with the question of how many runs one can get off the lift ticket.
Plus it was going to start getting cold.
"Don't forget the birthday party on Saturday." Oops. That memo came from the commanding general of the house.
The choice suddenly became obvious.
Mount Southington on Sunday night.
And it all fell into place. The drive from Vernon (and from most of Connecticut) is so short, you do not even try to time it. It was good enough for a quick trip for dad and a short nap for the 7-year-old.
The crowd was less dense than the daytime so the lines were minimal. Mount Southington had three lifts running anyway to spread everyone out.
Yes we were sacrificing some vertical by going there, but the 425 feet was advantageous because we were sheltered from the wind, so the entire mountain was being skied without any worries over hiding from gusts.
A mom made eye contact with me on the stars in a lodge.
"Is is icy out there? The kids are all out so I am a little worried."
"It's fine," I said to her. "We have a good grip and we can make any turn we want." That's a credit to Mount Southington's significant commitments over the years to snowmaking and grooming operations.
The same theory applied to every element in the terrain park, though some younger snowboarders seemed to be having a hard time judging the landing on the largest jump. But the approaches and landings to the boxes and rails were well-maintained and positioned.
Bottom line? Mount Southington is looking great this season, so definitely head over if you are looking for a quick day or night trip. Then again, it has always stood tall among the smaller mountains.

Panic Attack Symptoms
Panic attacks involve sudden feelings of terror that strike without warning. These episodes can occur at any time, even during sleep. A person experiencing a panic attack may believe that he or she is having a heart attack or that death is imminent. The fear and terror that a person experiences during a panic attack are not in proportion to the true situation and may be unrelated to what is happening around them. Most people with panic attacks experience several of the following symptoms:
- "Racing" heart
- Feeling weak, faint, or dizzy
- Tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers
- Sense of terror, or impending doom or death
- Feeling sweaty or having chills
- Chest pains
- Breathing difficulties
- Feeling a loss of control

Couple of suggestions: (1) The Hobbit is coming out in the theaters in several months and reading the book prior to seeing the movie will acquaint you with the characters as well as Tolkiens' genius. It is a very good book and a fairly quick read. (2) The Lord Of The Rings is pure genius. I read it in high school and thought it was one of the best books I'd ever read. Years later, before the movies came out, I read it again. Took six months. Couldn't believe how well it was written. (3) For more serious reading, try the 3-volume "The Secret Diaries of Harold Ickes," the Secretary of Interior under FDR. Ickes wrote notes every day about the inner workings of the government, totaling about four million words. Book was only published upon his death in the fifties. These books cover several years each. I'm reading volume three now, getting closer to our involvement in WWII. Frank discussions of how Ickes really sees things as they unfold in the inner circle. Can't wait to get closer to Pearl Harbor.
Forgot to mention that Keith Richards' autobiography is witty and its hard to believe all the stuff he remembers. You gotta put up with his ego, however. Bob Dylan's autobiography, "Chronicles" is one of the best I've read. Very witty. Rumored to be coming out with volume 2 one of these days.
I am reading "Wild Ducks Flying Backwards". It's a collection of short stories by Tom Robbins. Tom Robbins is my favorite author by a long shot, he's defienitely out there but that's precisely what I love about his writing! This one is pretty good, though I'm not enjoying it quite as much as his full fledged novels. It's still a good read though.
Not reading but listening to "The Innocent by David Baldacci"
Saw Tom Robbins give a reading at the University of Wisconsin around 1981(?) He was a cool looking dude, had a ring on every finger. Took classes in college where we studied Another Roadside Attraction and Even Cowgirls Get The Blues. Has a definite way with a phrase.
Another really good book I read recently was Patti Smith's "Just Kids."
Old editions of Great Sound. The collector that I purchased my Oracle TT's from gave me dozens of these.
Waiting for the new Dresden Files due in November.

On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared. It was that of a young lieutenant, the plane's bombardier, who was struggling to a life raft and pulling himself aboard. So began one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War.
The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini. In boyhood, he'd been a cunning and incorrigible delinquent, breaking into houses, brawling, and fleeing his home to ride the rails. As a teenager, he had channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics and within sight of the four-minute mile. But when war had come, the athlete had become an airman, embarking on a journey that led to his doomed flight, a tiny raft, and a drift into the unknown.
Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, a foundering raft, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.
In her long-awaited new book, Laura Hillenbrand writes with the same rich and vivid narrative voice she displayed in Seabiscuit. Telling an unforgettable story of a man's journey into extremity, Unbroken is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit.
^^That looks like it would be a really good one^^. I'm going to check that one out.
Dawgfish, I will look around and try to find a close-up photo of Tom that my cousin took at Robbins' reading at UW back in '81 or whenever it was (we were real close). I am going to have to do some digging but I remember seeing it not that awfully long ago. If I can find it I'll post it for you. He was my favorite writer and it was an absolute thrill to see him reading his stuff live. I still like his stuff, of course. His way with a phrase is unique in American literature. I still remember tabbing page 100 of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Now, I'll have to go back and see specifically why, but his books are miles ahead of the times.
The Real Frank Zappa Book; Frank Zappa.
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead; Chrystal Zevon.
You Never Give Me Your Money; Peter Doggett.
The first two are pretty self explanatory. Money is an interesting book explaining post Beatles. Albums, finances, bickering, lawsuit with Apple and getting together for Anthology. Good read for any Beatle fan. Looking forward to Neil Young's Waging Heavy Peace.
The last book I read was the novel of russian author Mikhail Bulgakov "Master and Margaret" and now I have Coelho's "Zahir" in the process.

I finally got through this one...while parts were ok...it was one of the most disappointing Sci-Fi novels I've read in quite a while. Maybe my expectations were too high.Originally Posted by shack

I think it has something to do, too, with the way you were brought up and your own relationship with your mother.
My own relationship with my mom is pretty fragmented, and I've eventually come to the conclusion that cutting her out of my life is the best thing to do for my own emotional health. Now that I'm 24 and in a serious relationship, although not ready for kids just yet, I find myself thinking a lot about our relationship, how we got into this mess, and how I would try to avoid going down the same road with my kids. I'm well aware that I won't be able to be the perfect mom, but I would like to try and avoid the mistakes that my own mother made.
Sometimes, honestly, looking back at those times, I'm not sure I would be a very good mother, and I don't think I would feel comfortable bringing children into this world unless I could be sure that I could provide unequivocal love and support for them, regardless of how they turned out. I don't want history to repeat itself.

Grand Party Marks the Opening of Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort
Media Release
New 255 room absolute beachfront property offers locally sourced dining and the first club floor in the Laguna Phuket destination area
Darren Edmonstone, Managing Director, Asia-Pacific for Outrigger Enterprises Group, told media arriving for the opening party that the property had unique features that were already distinguishing the resort from its competitors. He said that the property's exclusive Club Lounge privileges, large water slide and kids' club, 'Activate' sports facilities and fully rejuvenated rooms, suites and villas, all with sea or lagoon views, made the property a "world class product."
"We are particularly proud of our five innovative food and beverage outlets," said Edmonstone. "Especially Locavore, which will set new benchmarks in ethical dining by sourcing the freshest locally-produced food from farmers and fishermen in the Phuket area."
The aim of Locavore is to emphasize seasonality, sustainability and traceability through education and a close relationship with local farmers, fishermen and suppliers. Carbon emissions getting the food to the table will be minimized as well.
Mr. Edmonstone went on to say that "outstanding" dining options were also available at Edgewater, the resort's all-day beachside bistro, Metzo's Mediterranean restaurant, and in the delightful Club Lounge, "designed like a Thai pier house." Guests can also enjoy the ICON Lounge, a chill-out bar with modern Asian sounds and mixologists serving molecular cocktails, he said.
The design for the completely revamped rooms and hotel landscaping was carried out by P49, an acclaimed Bangkok based design company.

A review of The Last Natural: Bryce Harper's Big Gamble in Sin City and the Greatest Amateur Season Ever by Rob Miech. Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, 2012. 356 p. Review copy courtesy of the publisher. The title 'The Last Natural' packs a lot of meaning and connotation into a few words. While 'natural' clearly refers to the inherent talent that Bryce Harper seems to have, there are a few other connotations, at least in baseball. Since Harper arrives at what might be considered the end of the "steroid era," it could be a kind of pessimistic reference to... Read more »

**Note: The budget for this grant program has expired and is no longer being funded.**
The purpose of the Dropout Recovery Pilot Program (DRPP) is to identify and recruit students who have already dropped out of Texas public schools and provide them services designed to enable them to earn a high school diploma or complete an alternative path to college by demonstrating college readiness.
Students who have dropped out will either earn a High School Diploma or demonstrated College Readiness.
College readiness is defined by completing one of the following:
The Texas Education Agency focuses state and federal resources on identifying and replicating proven strategies for dropout prevention and recovery. The Texas Dropout Recovery Program encourages rigorous and relevant instruction to better engage students in learning academic and social skills necessary to complete high school and to prepare them for postsecondary success.
An external evaluator, Arroyo Research Services, is conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the DRPP. Preliminary report to be issued mid-February, 2011 and a final report to be issued January 2013.
In December 2009, TEA began working with Jobs For the Future (JFF) to provide professional development to TDRPP grantees and to assist in the development of model dropout recovery sites for replication. TEA is also working with JFF to develop a long-term and short-term strategic plan regarding the future direction of dropout recovery initiatives in Texas.
Visit http://backontracktx.org/ for more information and free resources.
In summer 2010, the TEA launched the Texas Dropout Recovery Network (TDRN). Through this Network, TEA offers professional development institutes and webinars to its members, an opportunity to connect with others throughout the state who are engaged in the same work, updates on available resources, and a forum for having the accomplishments of your program recognized.
In 2007, Texas was conducted a study to identify effective dropout recovery programs through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education School Dropout Prevention Program. In December 2008, the Dropout Recovery Resource Guide was developed from this study which identified effective dropout recovery programs, strategies and practices being implemented in Texas. The Guide offers information on:

With polls showing a neck-and-neck race for Massachusetts' U.S. Senate seat, Republican Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren came with claws sharpened to their second debate Monday night at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell.
The debate, moderated by NBC's David Gregory, lasted about an hour.
Even with its scattered punches and zings, the debate may not be a game- changer. It was generally predictable and lacking much about specific national issues, and Gregory spent most of the time asking about character attacks.
Cherokee Song
Gregory started the debate with the glaring question about Warren's heritage. Warren claims to have Native American ancestry, but proof of that ancestry has not been presented. This has created a firestorm for the professor.
"From the day I was born until my mother died, she told me about who I am, who we are, who my brothers are," Warren said. "I have never used the information about our Native American heritage to get any benefit...I consider myself as having a Native American background. That's what I said, and that's who I am."
Brown has attacked Warren as dishonest for the heritage issue in his latest round of TV ads. Recently, Brown staffers showed up at a Warren rally yelling Native American war chants, which generated anger from the Cherokee Nation and which was condemned by Brown himself.
But at the debate, Brown said the issue was about Warren's integrity and that Warren had "failed the test" of her integrity by changing her story about who knew about her heritage classification and when.
When asked, Brown couldn't produce any evidence that Warren has received any benefit for Native American heritage, but he called on her to be more open and release her personnel record from Harvard.
Kings and Queens
Warren wasn't the only one on defense.
Gregory brought up the infamous incident in which Brown mentioned on a radio show that he'd had "meetings with kings and queens." He didn't name which kings and queens and his staff later said he misspoke, but it turns out Brown had made this claim on multiple occasions before.
Brown denied exaggerating and stood by his point, if not his actual statements. He said he was listening to leaders around the world discuss the economy and was presenting a "scenario" of discussion.
"I never met the poorest farmer either, but it's about presenting a scenario where we can point out that there are serious issues affecting our jobs and the economy."
On the Record
Warren also pressed Brown to produce a list of his legal clients. And that opened a whole different can of worms involving Warren, asbestos and coal.
Brown cornered Warren on her work with Travelers Insurance in 2009. Travelers Insurance enlisted Warren in an agreement with victims to protect itself from future claims. Brown says that work goes against Warren's claims of being an advocate against corporate abuse.
But Warren insists her work was to make sure the victims were given what they were owed and that she helped oversee a settlement of hundreds of billions of dollars to go to the victims.
"For Sen. Brown to say that my work hurt asbestos victims is just simply not only untrue, it is exactly the wrong direction," Warren asserted. "The asbestos victims have stood up and said, 'Sen. Brown is wrong and he has crossed the line.'"
Brown also brought up a 1995 case in which Warren, a bankruptcy attorney at the time, represented LTV Steel as they were coming out of bankruptcy and petitioning not to pay into a fund for workers' benefits.
In another familiar theme, Brown discussed his bipartisan record in the Senate.
"I don't work for anybody, I don't work for President Obama or Mitt Romney or Sen. McConnell," Brown said. "I work for the people of Massachusetts."
Brown went on to talk about various votes he has cast in favor of Democratic bills in the Senate. Brown has campaigned all along on the idea of independence, and several prominent Democrats have come out in support of him. He even said he told Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell that he is disgusted with what's going on in his party.
When asked about her record of bipartisanship, Warren cited a bipartisan commission she was on after the financial collapse of 2008 to address issues that had caused the collapse. She also said she would work with Republicans on reforming Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Awkward and Funny
The debate also had its humorous, awkward and downright odd moments:
- In an embarrassing moment for Warren, when asked to name one Republican senator she could work with, Warren named Sen. Dick Lugar of Indiana. As it turns out, Lugar is retiring and won't be there next year.
- As Warren was hammering away at votes Brown has cast against various jobs bills, transportation bills and unemployment extension, Brown jumped in, apparently agitated, and said, "Excuse me, I'm not a student in your classroom, please let me respond, OK?"
- When asked to name a Supreme Court justice he admired, Brown named conservative Justice Antonin Scalia and much of the crowd booed. Brown then blurted out "Justice Kennedy" and then named Chief Justice John Roberts and Sonya Sotomayor.
- When asked why she thinks Massachusetts has never elected a female governor or senator, Warren said, "I don't know... Well right now I'm trying to do something about that."
- Brown said he thinks Sen. John Kerry would be a good Secretary of State. Could this be a hint of a replacement for Hillary Clinton when she leaves in January if President Obama is reelected?
- Gregory asked Brown why he has not made appearances with Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney and implied Brown was distancing himself from Romney to appeal to Massachusetts voters (polls suggest Romney has very little support in the Bay State).
- The award for best zinger of the night would perhaps go to Brown. When asked what he admires about Warren, Brown said, "She's a very hard working accomplished professor... So I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure she can continue to be in that position."
The Boston Herald has the complete video of the debate.

Hey Cody who gets these next?
I think Travis, I need to email him today or tomorrow. It would work best if we could meet in or outside of Boone on a Friday, but I'll just have to see his details.
I can see him smilin right now.
humpty dumpty was pushed
Cody- try to call me between 9-11pm any evening and we can discuss logistics of handing these off and in what order. If it's easier for Conradicles to get them next, I'm fine with waiting and then trying to get them to Scottyboy after my turn.
What's your impressions of them so far??
Dan said you we're wanting to hear a decent sub the other day on the phone, so if you wanted to make a day trip down here I have an Outlaw LFM-1+ you could get your ears on, just another idea.
Who runs the list nowadays?
I'd like to hear these suckers one day.

Any chance of these coming back the NYC region within the next few months? I would really like to hear these!
I reached out to Polk to find a authorized dealer. They told me J&R music world was the only dealer in my area. (The Polk website search is not accurate for my area.) J&R only had the 707?s crammed into listening room. They were connected to an Onkyo avr, the didn?t sound so great as you could imagine. Apparently they had some 703?s that sold out right away. However, the sales guy said they would not be getting anymore Polks because they are afraid to get stuck with any stock. Overall their listen areas felt like more like a pawn shop rather than a show room. They?ve really gone downhill for mid-fi. I remember buying my first Polk product from J&R. The sales guy?s sentiments were that they were setting them up to fail.
As far as I know, which isn't much, but if you guys can get another NE run if you can get a list together of four or five established Polkies you can get another demo. I don't think any other region has spoke up of trying to do anything. I think they will be in the NC/GA area until after the first of the year. I'm not sure that favors you guys, because it'll be getting awfully close to tax season! If you can drum up some interest, PM Jon_S and I'm sure he will be more than happy to help you out. Alright, time to go throw a couple of tracks at the 703's!
Any word of the 707's coming to the mid-west? Anyone within 2hrs driving distance of toledo oh with a pair they're willing to let a polkie get his ears on?
Let's get em to Utah, that's half way!

Alright, I've had some time back with my 9's and penciled a few thoughts out over the weeks that I had the 703's. I'll keep this brief, as I've already talked to a few members about my thoughts.
First off, let me say that the 703's are EXTREMELY pleasing to the eye, a very nice looking speaker. The finish is great, although I'll ask Travis to find the factory flaw in the finish now that he has them. It's there, I promise, look hard! The magnetic grills rock, why doesn't every speaker have this? Simple enough to do, and the relief of never having to worry about a broken grille peg is worth it to me. Just another bonus to the great finish on the speakers. Packaging was great, I loved the insert design. I would like to see a side by side in person cut away of both, I feel like the 9's had a more solid feel when doing the 'knuckle test'. The binding posts we're great, the wire was great versus cheep copper jumpers.
I tried these in more than a few placings, I'm not sure they we're friendly to my room. I believe the 703's would have sounded better in a larger room, although the placement I ended up liking the most worked well. After many tries, I felt these liked a very minimal toe, but they did enjoy some. When I say some, I mean just that, a little, a few degrees at most. Placement was about eight inches from the wall.
As far as the attributes that I look for in a speaker, the 9's bested them. Don't get me wrong, the 703's are a great sounding speaker. My feeling was that for a dual purpose speaker, doing 50/50, or more HT go with the 703's. If your looking for a better two channel speaker the 9's are where it's at. So both have compromises in my opinion.
I'll start with the 703's, and what they did really well. Overall, a very smooth sounding speaker. Great bass response, great mids, and a nice sparkle to the top. Everything I played through them, either in two channel or 2.1, they took, and loved every second of it. They we're fantastic in HT, anyone with a LSiC and considering switching to the M line, don't be afraid to add the M's before you can upgrade your center. Good match between the lines, most likely to the similar tweeter. Just like with the 9's I was surprised at times with the bass from the speakers, I think with a good integrated these would be great for a small system. I'm also happy with the fact that I would be comfortable running these off of an AVR, at lease a beefy one.
The areas I feel like the 703's lacked, IMO, are the two most important for me. Imaging and soundstage. The 9's defiantly gave more in that area. I can pinpoint sounds better, and the depth to the sound was better as well. I'm not sure this was a placement issue, like I said I tried more than enough placement options with the 703's and they may excel in a more well suited room. I feel like my results in these areas are backed up by many previous reviews of the 9's, and this is where Polk hit their mark on the line in this area.
I guess in conclusion, if I was more interested in strictly an HT system and bookies, I would be all over the 703's. However, I spend more of my time with music, and I really enjoy my 9's. I would really to get my ears on some modded 9's. I know the 9's are not my end all be all speaker, I already know the speaker I would like to go to next, but I really think we're all chasing a dogs tail in this hobby. I'm jealous of the members that found the setup and speaker for them, I know I haven't had enough experience in his hobby to be there, but hopefully someday.
Feel free to bounce any questions off of me about my feelings, I'm more than happy to have a nice discussion about it. Here is the gear used..

Guys I haven't had as much time listening as I'd like. Alot going on at home and some extended family health issues that have not allowed me to rerun Audyssee or do any critical listening. So far mainly some TV watching, blu ray of the latest Spider Man movie and some tunes.
Bass response is unbelievable to me for bookies. Granted I've not heard the LSi series so I can't compare to 7's or 9's. I do not have any suitable stands so I am using a pair of KLH23 about 24" tall as stands which puts the tweeter about 34"- close to ear level for me on the couch.
Placement is 7' apart, off back wall 8-12" and sitting close to 7' away. Looks are very elegant with a nice finish. I'd like to see the darker shade as it would go with my furnishings better most likely. The grills are sweet. Not sure if the jumper wire is factory or if one of the demo guys put it in. Looks to be about 12 or 10 guage.
Using Onkyo 706 as pre with Adcom 5400 supplying the current. Sources are a Denon 2910 universal player for cd and sacd's and a ps3 for blu ray. I've not streamed any pandora thru them as of yet. RCA's are audiquest sidewinders with Kimber Kable speaker wire.
Bass is great. Mid are lush and smooth. Highs are a little harsh to my ears. It may be the adcom. I'm going to swap out to a Rotel 981 amp later this week and try an adcom pre to get the onkyo out of the chain. They don't fill the room with sound like the 2.3TL's do obviously but I think unless you have a really large room they would do great up to a point. My room is not nor will I ever be able to properly setup the big SDA's so I've not heard them at their potential unfortunately. They are stock as well.
I wish I had a spare $1800 and I'd snap up the pair of 707's in the for sale section and drive to Wilmington tomorrow. Some people seem to feel the 705's are the sweet spot in the lineup but I don't have any dealers close to do an audition. I'll do some more listening and share my thoughts in the next week or two that I have them. I'll be talking to Scottyboy soon about maybe coming to my place for a visit and pick these up for his demo period.
The bottom line for now is that I like them enough that I am definately interested in buying a pair of these speakers. Very, very, impressed....
Travis - those jumpers are stock. I liked the new binding posts and jumpers very much as well.

Don't forget me before they make it to the ga polkies...
Haven't forgotten about you Eric. Just was trying to work something out with Scott coming up during the holidays. You 2 are next in line and I don't know if it matter who goes first as long the next leg is oked with Jon S. We can take the particulars to PM and or email with Jon and figure out what the next steps are. I'd still like to have a couple weeks with them before they go if possible.
Whatever makes geographical sense,as far as the least travel and such, what part of the n.c. are you in conrad.
To tell the truth, my old brain had forgotten about you being in the mix.
Travis, take your time, you, like the rest of us have waited quite awhile for this, whatever you guys work out between yourselves and jon is fine with us.
Would still love to get together with travis and his deb soon, but seeing as its about a 5 hour drive, one way, its going to depend a lot on debs health,the condition of both our backs , and whether a trip to the grove park inn for a romantic couple days can be worked in to the trip, instead of just a dedicated 10 hours driving and trying to have a nice visit to boot.

Urdu Poetry- Really??
Loving these speakers. Swapped out the Onkyo as the pre and am now using ScottyBoy's old Adcom GTP 450 and it made a nice positive differance. The Onkyo was running out of steam with the phono pre going thru it's tape input but the Adcom has more headroom for some reason. I'm not sure why that would be since both are just source switches basically going into the same amp. Anyone able to explain to me why this is?
Still waiting for the LSIM 705/707 here in Los Angeles.

Platelet-Rich Plasma
- By Stacey Oke, DVM, MSc
- Apr 01, 2011
Regenerative medicine describes a group of techniques that uses the body's natural ability to heal. Stem cell therapy, autologous conditioned serum, and platelet-rich plasma are all different types of regenerative medicine. Each of these therapies uses biologic samples taken from a sick or injured horse and processes them to behave in a certain way. These are then injected to treat a specific injury.
Regenerative medicine is one of the most recent and potentially helpful therapies introduced to the equine industry. Many veterinary hospitals at universities throughout North America have laboratories dedicated to studying stem cells, autologous conditioned serum, and PRP. This fact sheet will explain what PRP is, how it is made, and how this technology can potentially help your horse.

By CLAY HORNING
NORMAN — Mike Stoops walked into the room. His defense had just allowed 48 points and 490 yards a week after allowing 49 and 778.
"I've never had so much fun in my life," he said. "Oh man, what a classic."
Which was right in line with everything else that happened in the best Bedlam game ever played, Oklahoma's 51-48 victory Saturday at Owen Field.
Never had the series gone overtime. Never, probably, had Oklahoma State been this good in back-to-back meetings and, rest assured, the Pokes are going nowhere.
The Bedlam Series is not edging towards the Texas game on the the Sooners' significance meter. Instead, it has flat overtaken it as the skirmish OU must win if it's to challenge for conference and national championships.
This time around it transcended everything. All the history and the moment, too.
When Mike Stoops walked in after a rotten day at the office, smiling instead of kicking himself as he had in OU's previous two victories, it was just one more fantastic moment from a memorable afternoon.
There was Landry Jones, on Senior Day, coming back from one of his heinous interceptions that helped put OU in the hole it only just emerged from. Throwing for 500 yards on the nose, his second straight half-a-thousand-yard performance led two end-of-half drives for touchdowns when OU absolutely had to have them.
"What more do you want from the guy," said Bob Stoops, almost yelling in a voice hoarse all over again, worn out by a game for the ages.
Also, there was Blake Bell, with his finest singular play of his Sooner life. He'd run for 23 touchdowns since the Belldozer was unveiled, but here he was on fourth-and-1 at the 4, trying to finish off that last drive Jones led down the field, OSU linebacker Caleb Lavey approaching, "unblocked in the hole," as offensive coordinator Josh Heupel would later say.
"You feel a guy at your feet, you hurdle him," Bell said, forgetting to mention that Lavey's shot at his legs came 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage with seconds remaining, the Sooners finished if Bell didn't get the yard.
To say nothing of Jalen Saunders and Justin Brown, who seem like they've been at Oklahoma for about 10 days, one from Elk Grove, Calif., by way of Fresno State and the other from Wilmington, Del., by way of Penn State. What do they know about Bedlam?
Yet Saunders caught Quinn Sharp's punt, only the second he tried to return all season, and brought it back 81 yards at fourth quarter's dawn, the Sooners trailing 38-30. And it was Brown who found the open space in which to corral Jones' two-point pass, retying the game for the first time since the first play of the second half, a 75-yard hook-up between Clint Chelf and Josh Stewart, because you better believe the Cowboys made their plays, too. A ton of them. So many, OU didn't lead until the game was over.
The Sooner defenders didn't do a whole lot, but the beauty of Saturday's challenge demanded they be a part of it at the end, and so they were, allowing one first down in the fifth quarter, but only the one, holding the Pokes to their OT field goal and giving the offense its chance.
"It was a thriller," said Sooner cornerback Aaron Colvin, who belied his unit's effectiveness, turning in two sacks and an interception, all of them big. "My heart was jumping the whole time. It was just one of those games."
One of what games?
We know what Colvin means. We know there are games that need not be broken apart, layers peeled back for dissection. They just are. And still, this was so much more.
Last home game of the season, a statewide rivalry reaching new heights, and dizzyingly great stuff from both sides of it, the home team finally getting the best of it.
The only one of "those games" is this one, played on Bedlam's greatest day.

My mother was the oddball in the neighborhood who worked, yet she was expected to have floors clean enough to eat off of and to completely eliminate the grime from my father's work clothes. Remember the "ring around the collar" commercials? It was the woman's job to get rid of the problem, not the man's to shower!

The 2012-13 Nittany Lions were not much to write home about, going 10-21 and 2-16 in the Big Ten. They have long been a punching bag for stronger Big Ten members like Ohio State, Michigan State, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Last year's squad was weak on all sides of the ball but did have two great scorers at the top in Tim Frazier and D.J. Newbill. Frazier (16.3 PPG) is done for his college career but the Southern Mississippi transfer Newbill has two years of eligibility remaining. Jermaine Marshall (15.3 PPG) is back for one more year. Ross Travis (7.4 RPG, 7.0 PPG) has two years of eligibility left. Two point guards in Graham Woodward and Geno Thorpe highlight the newest recruiting class as Penn State looks to rebuild.
The Penn State Nittany Lions operate under Coach Pat Chambers at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park. They have made one Final Four, in 1954, four Sweet Sixteen appearances, and nine NCAA Tournament appearances. The program has long been overshadowed by the football team but the basketball Nittany Lions have on occasion held their own in the formidable Big Ten. And with the football team serving its four-year bowl ban in the Sandusky scandal, now is the time for basketball to step into the stoplight. Their last NCAA Tournament appearance came in 2011 when they lost their first one against Temple. It wasn't their first playoff struggle against Temple, as the last time they had been in the Big Dance, 2001, they lost to Temple in the Sweet Sixteen. That year they knocked off #2 North Carolina in the second round. But since then the basketball program has been somewhat dormant. Get your tickets to see a young team on the rise in the Nittany Lions!
