The examples for the Less Than selector wrongly shows gt. The examples work if lt is used instead. So this: # "$('li:gt(2)') selects all elements preceding the third one." Should read: "$('li:lt(2)') selects all # elements preceding the third one." And this: "$('.myclass:gt(1)') selects all elements with the class myclass preceding the second one" Should read: "$('.myclass:lt(1)') selects all elements with the class myclass preceding the second one"

Piggy-backing on Danger Boy's thread, what was the first cassette you ever purchased?
Hard to believe its been a quarter-century...fall 1983, I was 9 years old and living in a small town in northwestern Connecticut. Nerf football was all the rage for my neighbors and me at the time. I recall vividly going into the record store for the first time. All the tapes were locked up in wooden racks behind those clear plastic sliding doors....And my first selection was:
Men At Work-- Business as Usual
Over the following 4 months, I acquired these tapes in the following order:
Men At Work -- Cargo
Billy Joel -- An Innocent Man
Billy Joel -- Glass Houses
Matthew Wilder (the one with "Break My Stride")
The Romantics -- In Heat
The Police -- Synchronicity
Van Halen -- 1984
After reading the link that Face posted on 8-track tapes, I see that they were pretty much phased out of record stores at the end of 1982. So, I guess I just missed the 8-track at the onset of my musical journey.

Feel free to add your own reasons to my thread!
1. It takes place in my hometown of Holliston, Massachusetts. It is so cool to see locations around town and to see the cast at places like Casey's Crossing and The Holliston Grill!
2. The girls! Corri and Laura are both beautiful and funny. I met the whole cast (the whole main cast- Adam, Joe, Corri, and Laura) when they showed two episodes at Holliston Town Hall and none of them could have possibly been nicer or more down to earth. Adam Green is from here, but Joe, Corri, and Laura treated everyone as if it was their hometown too and the general consensus from the audience is that they are now honorary Hollistonians LOL! IMO the girls totally make the show and everything that comes out of Laura's mouth makes me laugh. I have huge crushes on both of them (in the non-creepy stalker way) and only hope that they all come back to Holliston again so that I can get pictures with them. I was too shy to ask when they were here in March. It was hard to get near Adam because he was mobbed but once I did he gave my friends and I his undivided attention and talked to us for a few minutes. He's totally normal.
3. The horror references! Too many to count but when I first heard them mention that Adam's hamster is named Horace Pinker I almost died laughing. Horace Pinker (for those who don't know) is the killer in the 1980's horror movie Shocker. I love that when they spoof special effects they totally get it right. When Adam tears his face off in the Hooker episode it looks just as cheesy as it did in Poltergeist. There's never anything scary on the show but there's still a ton of horror stuff in each episode.
4. It's actually funny! I watch some sitcoms but I don't ever really laugh out loud like I do with this one. Sometimes I can't even breathe I'm laughing so hard. Like the Market Basket conversation between Corri and Laura or when Candyman wouldn't move out of the apartment or everytime Adam says "whaaaaaaat?" When I rewatch episodes I always find a joke I missed because I laughed through it the first time. The gum scene was so gross and the whole bathtub thing was hilariously disgusting, too. Favorite moment so far: Adam and Laura's fist fight for the camera! I could watch that on a loop!
5. It's sad- but in a good way. Every now and then there is stuff that happens on this show that gets me kind of upset, but I actually like that. The whole situation between Adam and Corri is really messed up and I feel bad for both of them, but probably more so Adam. I also know the feeling when it comes to wanting to make something more of yourself and always failing. Right now I am only in High School but I want to be a radio DJ like Howard Stern someday and my guidance counselor is such an a-hole. I'm going to be applying to colleges next year at this time and everyone keeps telling me to go to school for something like computer science or web design because that way I'll get a job. It's encouraging to know that Adam Green went to this same high school and heard all of the same things and now he's a movie director and a TV star in Hollywood. I often use that as my example but teachers and other people say "Adam Green is a one in a million scenario". So why can't there be 2 in a million? Anyway on one hand the show bums me out sometimes as it hits close to home and I feel horrible for the characters, but on the other hand it gives me hope because I know this show is based in realty and I know that it worked out for Adam Green. I've never choked up watching Two And A Half Men or The New Girl before, but Holliston has gotten me pretty emotional twice so far.
6. GWAR in the closet! He is hilarious and I LMAO whenever he dumps on Adam! Worst imagnary friend ever!
7. Dee Snyder from Twisted SIster as the boss! His outifts make me cringe and laugh and I love how his office door magically opens and closes behind him as if he has heavy metal superpowers.
8. Axl the fake cat! Every time they show Adam's cat I laugh out loud. I wish he was in the show more though.
9. Kevin the doctor! "I want my pancakes!" LMFAO!!! At first I thought he was the worst actor of all time but then I figured out that he was acting that way on purpose. Corri broke up with him in last week's episode which sucks, but hopefully he comes back again cause he's awesome.
10. The man cast of characters are people I wish I knew in real life. Sounds pathetic but sometimes I wish I could live on this show and be friends with them. They're all really funny and really nice, good people and I would totally want to be in their group of friends if I could be and if they lived in Holliston in real life. When Adam stood up to Candyman and the gang threw him out of the apartment for talking crap about Corri I actually applauded. In my real life I don't think any of my friends would do the same thing for me. But I love their friendships and I especially love Joe and Laura as a couple and the way they support each other's dreams. Now if only Corri would get her head out of the clouds and get back together with Adam, but I guess the show wouldn't be the show if that happened. Meeting all four of them in real life you can tell that it's not an act on the show and they really are best friends and that they love each other in real life. It's probably the thing I like about this show the most and the reason I'm so addicted to it. I hate that it's going to be such a long wait (a year???) before the next season. It kind of gives me anxiety.
11. The opening credits song. Wish I could buy it somewhere! It kicks ass!!!!
So, what about you? Why do YOU like Holliston??

Apple Store-within-a-Walmart: the future, or the end of days?
There have been Apple Stores inside Best Buy -- and their subsidiary, Future Shop in Canada -- for a long time now, but Walmart? I haven't been to Walmart in years, but last time I did the only store-within-a-store they had there was a McDonalds. Well, times change, Apple Retail just keeps growing and growing, and it looks like Walmart is their next growth-vector.
Reader Jesse Martinez sent along these images from the Walmart Superstore in Rogers, Arkansas. Jesse says he was told by the Apple rep that this particular Apple Store-within-a-Walmart-store was a prototype and the first one in the country. Even though the Apple Stores proper are phenomenally successful, and Apple keeps adding more all the time, they just don't have locations in all the same places as Best Buy (recent closures notwithstanding) or Walmart. The stores-within-a-store help them project at least a little of the Apple experience to many more potential customers.
So is the the future, where Apple Stores-within-a-store armed with knowledgeable Apple reps-within-those-stores start popping up in more and more megastores? There aren't competing HP, Samsung, Dell, HTC, or Google retail stores, and there aren't competing HP, Samsung, Dell, HTC, or Google stores-within-a-store at Best Buy, never mind Walmart. Does this give Apple a significant advantage, or simply risk overextending their brand?

I think this would be smart for apple to do. The current apple stores for many are much farther away than the closest walmart and could bring more people into apple stores and walmart alike.
Honestly, I would love this. The nearest Apple Store is about an hour drive for me whereas we have a brand new Walmart less than a mile from me.
+1! I live in small town USA and we are lucky to have a Walmart. It just isn't feasible to drive over an hour to get to an Apple Store. Plus having dedicated Apple Store employees manning these operations is huge because most Walmart employees don't know enough to push sales (no offense to any Walmart employees!).
Well it might be the first one in the US but in New Zealand we have at least a dozen of them since we don't have an actual Apple Store.
This isn't Rolex, Renee. I think it's a smart decision by Apple. For one, as above posters have mentioned, it increases retail availability within communities. It also allows some who would never have been to an Apple store to get in on the Apple experience, which as an Apple user I believe is probably Apple's strongest selling point.
I know that you're an Apple user yourself, Renee, and I have to ask you: Have you not found it the most difficult thing in the world to convince a computer savvy (or illiterate, really) PC user that Mac's are worth their extra dollar value? It all comes down to user experience, and that's a very difficult message to convey without demonstration.
I apologize, I just realize I feminized your name. If you can edit that, feel free to. No offense intended.
If I have to shop at a Walmart for Apple products, that will be the end of my 25 years association with Apple.
Wow, elitist much? It's not about the freaking store -- it's about location. Most people can't just up and drive to the nearest Apple store, especially since most states in the US have only one or two. Grow up, man :/

No one is forcing you to shop at walmart. You can still go to your local Apple Store if you wish. But personally it's easier for me to drive 5 minutes to get to walmart, than to take a 45 minute drive into the city.
The point is this. In central pa the only apple store is in Lancaster. So if your from Williamsport you can drive to Lancaster, Philly, Baltimore or Pittsburgh. All while driving past 10 Walmarts. So having a local apple store is moot. There not all that local. Plus when you go there they have long lines and many dumb people there.
Really bro? Your loyalty is that weak?
Not everyone has a Apple store even remotely close to them. I live in Hawaii and there are three Apple stores on one island... (Oahu). I live on a different island (Kauai). What should I do, take a day off buy a plane ticket just to visit an Apple store? I already own the greatest smartphone made to date. I have experienced the awesomeness of Apple products. I don't need to go to an Apple store and listen to some teenager tell me the hardware and software specs of various Apple products. I think what your more afraid of is that Apple products will get into the hands of the "less desirable Walmartians" and you wont look so cool with your iDevice. If it becomes a common household item it will somehow lose its "sex appeal". Maybe you should right a letter to Apple and tell them to not expand their retail stores to Walmart... If they don't listen just go buy yourself a Android phone at one of those Android brick and mortar stores...
amen 2 u, i live on oahu and its a pain just to get to the apple store's, yeah we have 3 but there all close to each other, i just wish they had it in different parts of the island. :(
I live on the Big Island, so we're in the same boat. Last year, the mic on my 3 week old iPad 2 stopped working. This wouldn't have been an issue, had there been a mini Apple store on the island where I could have swapped it for a new one. I'd be happy to see one opened at my local (1 hour drive) Walmart.
But is this a real Apple Store, even if it's a mini store? Because what makes an Apple Store is not just that there is a place to buy Apple products, you can buy them in many locations, but the service offered by them.
Does this Apple-Mart has it?
That's wat I was thinking. I mean, its the same stuff Walmart sells anyway. To me, for this to be a true store within a store, they would need to sell macbooks, imacs, etc... It's only iPads and iPhones like they have sold in the past.
Not a good idea. I get the convenience and the financial benefit to apple, but to me this just cheapens the brand. And apple stores are about the experience, I doubt if you get the same experience in a Walmart and certainly not an employee that is as knowledgeable as they should be.
Yup. Now the fan boys can't claim that android is for poor people and apple for the well off.
The more, the better :)
I think its a bad idea. The apple store is a place where you can try out, get the help you need and the environment is 2nd to done. The service you can get is very special and in noway will they ever be able to provide this level of experience inside a walmart. I hope the 2 didn't make this deal in China.
I live close to the middle of nowhere. I have a Wal-Mart within a few miles but the closest Apple Store is in St. Louis or Chicago, 3+ hours away. It is usually quite a hassle when I have problems with my Apple devices, and seeing Apple products in person is often a challenge as well. As much as I dislike patronizing Wal-Mart, I'd love to have an Apple Store in my local Wal-Mart. Alas, my fear is that my town/Wal-Mart is too small for such a luxury. But I can dream...
This would be ok at Target but not at Walmart. It does cheapen the brand. How can Apple be so choosey about where they build their stores and then make mini stores at someplace as white-trash as Walmart. Steve would not approve.
At least that's my opinion.
I hate to say this but it's like a rich guy and a chick from a trailer park getting together. No shade to people that live in trailer parks I know some are nice people.
It would be better if it was set up like the bank, or nail place. A separate store in Walmart. That way you walk into an Apple store, instead of it placed in the middle of the open electronic section.
I work in the Connection Center (cell phones) at a Walmart in a not-so-affluent area. I believe this project will ultimately fail. Why do people shop at Walmart? Because they're cheap. They complain about everything from selection to customer service to long lines. Why do they keep coming back? Because they're cheap. While the iPhone is a moderate seller in my store I seem to be selling a lot of the first Samsung Galaxy S. Why? Because the price recently went down to $0.97. The Apple display in my department is the 3GS display. We don't have any iPhones on display because people steal them. All of the other Apple products in my store are in the electronics department which I do work in but not very often. The displays are a mess. The selection is terrible. I can't speak to sales numbers of any non-iPhone Apple products but I doubt they're very high. What I'm getting at here is that the vast majority of Walmart customers don't have the means to pay the "Apple tax". Why buy an iPad for $499 when you can get another tablet made by some company no one has ever heard of for $129? If Best Buy is bleeding money why would an Apple store in a Walmart do any better? It's just going to sit there and look nice in the sea of cheaply made discount merchandise that is Walmart.
You must work at horrible Walmart. I hate Walmart myself, go there 3-4 times a year, but wow. Either your trolling or serious. My Walmart has everything under glass. IOS, and android devices. And when I'm in Walmart I have the means to buy 5 iphones. I just dont choose to buy them. Your attitude drives Me away from apple. Most apple users think they are the s**t just for having one. When I can get one for 1 buck.
I make more than $150k per year and I shop at Walmart. I work hard for my money and if the same item is in Walmart for less I'll buy it there!
If you do work at Walmart you know that each store is merchandised a little different. Your store's "traits" and the assortment it carries, is largely dependent on the customer demographic. You sound as if you're in an older "Division 1" store and not a newer SuperCenter. BIG difference!
Walmart already sells this selection of Apple products and sells A LOT! They sell more than Apple iPads than all over tablets combined!
This is part of a 30 store pilot and we'll see how it goes! It's good for Apple, Walmart, and the customers, like me, who shop there!
Here's my day at walmart:
I walk in the store and get a hamburger for the mcdonalds store-in-store. My hands are now all greasy after the burger. Now I go play on the new iPad. This is Apple product abuse!
Not funny. All walmarts in pa have subways in them. Mcds left almost 10 years ago. Next stupid joke.
McDonald's is still in the Wal-Marts here in Canada. Would love to see a switch to Subway.
We are split here with the Walmarts in my city. One has a Subway and the other has McDonald's.
See what happens with out Steve jobs. History is gonna repeat itself. But this time Google will bury apple a 5-10% world market share. Sell apple stock now.
You guys whining about this are too funny. You already ARE able to buy Apple products at Wal-Mart. Even when Steve was alive you could, now your experience is enhanced by allowing you to talk to a company employee instead of some sassy chicken head smacking their gum. Geez.
Not sure if this counts but I live in a pretty high priced part of NYC and inside the target here they sell all apple products im pretty sure.
I've purchased iPhones and iPads and iPods from there before.
Although it would be convenient for some people I think apple should focus on building more stores instead of building a stand within walmarts.
Smart move overall. Anybody complaining about the besmirched sanctity of their precious Apple products should remember that iPhones and iPads are commodities that need to be moved - nothing more, nothing less.
iPhones, iPads, Macs are good products. I like good products. I want Apple to keep making good products. To do so, they have to sell a lot of them. If Wal-Mart helps sell them, that's a good thing.
The elitism and snobbery on display with these news (and when Instagram was released on Android) is disheartening. I use Apple products almost exclusively because they are very, very good. Not because they give me some sort of illusory status over the 'common people'
Apple is a great company. Wal-Mart on the other (at least the Wal-Marts in my area) are ghetto, packed to capacity and require you to plan your trip way in advance so you can avoid having a bad experience. I think having an Apple store within Wal-Mart is great for the brand and would definitely expose it to those who otherwise would not think about purchasing Apple products. For me personally, I will stick to the Apple Store.
Wow! I really love being thrown in there with traier trash (thick thick thick sarcasim, by the way)!!!! I know that walmart isnt the nicest of stores everywhere you go, but i still shop there on a weekly basis, because it is the closest and cheapest place for me to get the grocies and household item i need.
I LOVE my mac. I LOVE my iPad. And i, at least, REALLY like my iPhone. But i really hate the snobby persona that apple users tend to give off, and this whole story doesnt really help the cause. Not everyone lives in new york, or uptown dallas, or chicago, or LA. The closest apple store to me is in houston, a good 2 hour drive. There is an apple kiosk in best buy in my town, and there is a little apple authorized retailer in town too. But i hate the snobby, elitist, attitude that apple should have a location in walmart. They practially already have one what with the ipod/iphone/ipad kiosk.
This would do nothing but conitnue to bolster sales for apple. Dont see anything wrong with that.
elitist attitude that apple should not have a locatn in wm
I'm not an elitist or anything, but I do think this will overall hurt sales with Apple's current consumers (however it COULD help sales overall). A lot of the reason that current consumers buy Apple products is due to the experience - specialty stores, knowledgeable staff, consistency across the brand. I would be afraid that Walmart wouldn't provide that experience. I have been in some Walmarts that are clean and well organized. However, I have been in some that are messes: Displays are broken/not working, DVD's spilled across the electronics department.
Now, I understand that it's not easy to get to an Apple Store. I have to drive over 100 miles (one way)to get to one. However, most people who HAVE to go to the Apple store do so because they need technical assistance. Do you think that they will be able to provide (or charge for) that same level of assistance at the Wal-Mart stores? I have my doubts that they would even provide service in these stores; it would likely be "sales-only". If anything, I see Apple trying to place their employees in Walmart for a while, then when they realize that it would be more profitable to contract the work out, they will - ultimately leading to reduced level of service and experience. But who knows...
Revenue US$ 421.849 billion (2011)
Operating income US$ 025.542 billion (2011)
Net income US$ 015.355 billion (2011)
Total assets US$ 180.663 billion (2011)
Total equity US$ 068.542 billion (2011)
These numbers don't lie! Lots of people shop at Walmart and it's not a bad idea to get your product in the stores!
Jrev... I get your point and agree with your premise that WalMart is successful... But numbers ABSOLUTELY DO LIE.
I'm an accountant working at a LARGE public company... There are constantly numbers and facts being fudged, massaged and manipulated to better impress shareholders. This is just a fact of corporate life.

Got a question about the RIP-IT Foxy Fastpitch Softball Bat: FOXY3 -11? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
Is there much of a difference in "pop" between the -11 and -12 FOXY? My daugther is only 9 years old but she has a strong swing and is 5', and 94 lbs. She swings an Easton Cyclone 29"/20oz right now, but I'm thinking of moving her to a 29" or 30" FOXY.
There is not going to be a difference at all in the pop between the RIP-IT Elite Foxy: FOXY3 -11 Fastpitch bat or the RIP-IT Elite Foxy: FOXY4 -12 Fastpitch bat. The only difference between the two bats is going to be the length to weight ratio, meaning that a 30" in the -11 is going to be a 19 oz. bat and a 30" in -12 is going to be a 28 oz. bat.
I see this same bat online but does not say Elite Foxy3. Just Foxy3. Is there a difference in the bat or is it the same one?
Unfortunately, without being able to see the exact bat that you saw on the website, the only information that I can give you is on what we currently have in stock. The RIP-IT Elite Foxy: FOXY3 -11 Fastpitch bat is a single wall one-piece alloy design.
Product Description
No fluff, just performance. The ALL NEW RIP-IT FOXY youth fastpitch bat is the only bat made and endorsed by a back-to-back NCAA national champion. Kristie Fox introduces the RIP-IT Foxy! One issue with youth bats is that the design is often modeled after the college level bats on the market. The problem with this is players swinging the youth fastpitch bats typically have slower bat speeds and less power than those swinging college level bats. The Foxy bat is designed to achieve maximum flex at slower bat speeds, meaning that youth players are able to get the walls of the bat to flex properly, and get optimum performance. This bat is not just a redesign of a previous bat, but a whole new evolution in bat technology. Other manufacturers continue to use the same manufacturing process they have used year after year, simply applying a new paint job to technology that is becoming more and more outdated. RIP-ITs tempered ballistic alloy blend is a new bat material designed by RIP-IT that is superior in both performance and durability when compared to composite and aluminum bats. This alloy blend feels like a composite bat, but requires no break-in and is hot right out of the wrapper. The blend also allows RIP-IT to adopt a full-barrel flex technology which achieves a maximum flex along the entire length of the barrel, making the barrel one giant sweet spot. The weight in the barrel is also precisely distributed throughout the barrel to ensure that the barrel "whips through" the strike zone to contact the ball with maximum bat speed for unbelievable power transfer. Vibration Dampening Micro-Layer technology inside the barrel and the one-piece design of the bat works to eliminate vibration in the bat. The one-piece design makes sure that all the energy available is transferred to the ball and not lost due to being absorbed by the joint of two-piece bats. Less wasted energy means the ball really jumps off of this bat. When performance matters, just RIP-IT. Free shipping.

Greeting! I'm new to the forum and fairly new to the world of Polk speakers. Let me start by giving the history I have with Polk products, and then explain my current system. I have multiple questions but I'm putting this in the Basic Hookup/Wiring Thread because that is my main question. It's just going to take a little time to get there.
In the summer of 2008, I purchased a new PSW125. My first Polk product. At the time the MSRP was $399.95, but I got it on sale for $285.49. The MSRP has dropped to $349.95 and is currently on sale for $249.95. A couple years after my purchase, the sub went dead and the sub hadn't been used much or turned up too high. The fuses would blow as soon as it was turned on. I always unplug my electrical equipment during storms, so lightning is not to blame. Called customer service and found out that the speaker has a five year warranty, but the electronics have a shorter warranty period. The customer service guy was very nice and helpful. He sold me a new amp at a discounted price. It arrived shortly and I received a whole new rear panel, but the amp was completely different. I don't know if there were problems with that particular amp and they changed them or what, but it now works and sounds amazing. But I took a bit of a hit on that purchase. Not the start I had hoped for when purchasing a brand, not previously owned by me.
I recently noticed that my non-Polk front speakers had started sounding terrible. After taking the grills off, I saw that the foam surrounds had rotted. Nice. Replacing the surrounds and fixing them myself would cost about $35, but these were not high end speakers, and I felt it was time for an upgrade. I've always loved the sound of Polk speakers. Even their entry level speakers sounded good to my ears. Bose on the other hand... I always thought their entry level speakers sounded really bad. I'm curious to your opinion as to how long a Polk speaker will last, or at least the rubber surrounds. And when it's time to replace the surrounds, is it worth replacing since the internal components are old, i.e. driver, capacitors, etc. or am I better off buying new speakers at that point.
I started looking at new speakers. My goal was to get a $2000-$2500 system for under $1000 (speakers and receiver). I found two deals on Craigslist that I was interested in...
Four Polk Monitor 60 Towers
Two Polk Monitor 50 Towers
Polk CSiA4 Center Channel
Polk PSW100 Powered Subwoofer
With documentation and original packaging for each speaker.
Two years old with cherry finish, asking $500 (now asking $425).
Two Polk RTi8 Towers
Polk CSi3 Center Channel
Polk F/Xi3 Bi-Directional Surround Speakers
Sanus Euro Foundation EFSAT Stands for F/Xi3 Speakers
Polk PSW303 Powered Subwoofer
16g wire with banana plugs included.
Purchased new in 2004, black finish, asking $800.
I wanted black over cherry, real wood over laminate. Because of the way my room is set up, the only place to put the surround sound speakers is directly to the left and right of the listener. On my old system, you could always tell where the sound was coming from with the surrounds, because they weren't coming from somewhere behind the listener. So I wanted the F/Xi3 Bi-Directional (set to dipole) to make the sound spread out. I ended up getting the RTi8 package for $400 after negotiating over a two week period. They were adult owned and didn't have a scratch or mark on them. The only reason he was selling them is that he just bought a new home and had built- ins put into the wall and ceiling. He thought they would be an easy sell at $800, so he didn't have the movers move them to the new house and time was running out to have eveything cleared out of the old house. I really liked the Rti8 over the Monitors. I'm curious as to what your opinions are as to my choice. The speakers a didn't buy were newer and there were more of them. It's going to be used for a home theater and for listening to music through CDs and MP3s.
I read through the forum and most people don't seem to see an advantage to bi-wiring. I have enough 14g wire to connect the two front speakers and have hoards of 16g wire. So it's not going to cost me anything to bi-wire the fronts. And I know to remove the jumper on the speaker. But here is my main question. Since I have a lot of left over 16g wire, would I get any benefit from doubling up the wire? Running two sets of 16g to the tweeters of each RTI and running a set of 16g along with the 14g to the woofers of each RTi? I don't need anyone suggesting to just go out and buy 12g wire, that's not what I'm asking.
I'm also replacing my older receiver. I bought a six month old Denon AVR-1613 for $160. MSRP $399, but you can find them on the internet for $329. I know a lot of people will argue that I should have gone with a more powerful system with pre amp outs for an external amp, but you have to understand, I'm 42 years old, I don't crank it up until my ears bleed like I did in high school. I listen to movies and music at a moderate level. The Denon should arrive this Saturday.
I know people with higher end Polks can pick apart my system, but I'm very proud of what I have now. I'm going to be using the PSW125 with this system and putting the PSW303 in the bedroom, which brings me to my next question. I've notice that you have to give the RTi's a bit of power before they come alive. But I'd like a set of Polks in the bedroom for listening to music at low levels. I basically want a 2.1 system in there to help romance the ladies in the bedroom. High-five! Any recommendations for speakers that sound amazing at low levels? The choices don't have to be limited to the current Polk lineup. Anything made in the last ten years will work. Thanks for answering any of my questions... I'm sure the ladies will appreciate it. High-five!

Sanskrit (Indian Sub-Continental Studies)
The study of the Sanskrit language, the most important classical language of the Indian subcontinent, is the gateway for exploring the various intellectual, literary and artistic traditions - associated especially with Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism - that have shaped South Asian civilisation, and which have played a profound role in forming Asia as a whole. The Sanskrit major is designed to foster a sophisticated grasp of developments in religion, literature and philosophy throughout South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan), Central Asia, South East Asia and Tibet, as well as an understanding of the broader social and historical contexts in which these developments took place.
On completion of the major, you will find yourself well placed to adopt a critical yet self-aware and balanced 'big-picture' perspective upon South Asian society and culture (and more broadly, Asian society and culture). Your background in seeing South Asian civilisation as a whole by way of their exposure to formative Sanskrit texts such as the Mahābhārata, Rāmāyana and Bhagavad Gītā will enable you to see beyond stereotypes and media hype in forming sophisticated and insightful responses to critical issues in contemporary South Asia, such as human rights abuses, caste, inter-religious tension, dowry and arranged marriages.
Study plan
A major in Sanskrit requires 36 senior credit points including at least 6 credit points at 3000 level.
Junior units of study (1000 level)
In first year you complete SANS1001 Sanskrit Introductory 1 and SANS1002 Sanskrit Introductory 2 before enrolling in senior-intermediate units of study. Junior units introduce you to the discipline by way of learning the script, basic grammatical structures and principles and also basic vocabulary as well as developing an awareness of important key concepts and terms to provide you with the rudimentary tools to understand and contextualize South Asian civilization.
Senior units of study (2000 and 3000 level)
In second year you complete SANS2601 Sanskrit Intermediate 1 and SANS2602 Sanskrit Intermediate 2. These units of study build on the basic level of information literacy acquired in first year building on students' language and translation ability to now tackle original Sanskrit texts, enabling you to focus upon contextualising specific religious and philosophical issues in wider cultural, social and historical contexts.
In third year you complete SANS3601 Sanskrit Advanced 1 and SANS3602 Sanskrit Advanced 2. In these units of study the emphasis is on enabling you to further develop cross-cultural awareness and critical cultural self-reflection.
In addition you will complete SANS2612 Sanskrit Research Preparation 1 and SANS3612 Sanskrit Research Preparation 2. In these units you are introduced to higher level research and inquiry through becoming methodologically aware of advances in the discipline, allowing you to further reconsider your own intellectual, cultural and ethical perspective. These units are offered in second semester and alternate each year.
Non-language units
Although not part of the major, you are encouraged to take the following non-language units offered in the Asian Studies and Buddhist Studies programs that are relevant to Sanskrit and South Asian Studies. These units of study do not contribute to the credit point requirement of a major in Sanskrit.
- ASNS2626 Religious Traditions of South Asia
- ASNS2623 India: Tradition into Modernity
- ASNS2627 India, China, Tibet: Cultural Relations
- ASNS2620 Classical Indian Philosophy
- BDST2612 Buddhist Meditative Practices
- BDST2616 The Buddha's Words
- BDST3611 Buddhist Philosophical Traditions
You are also encouraged to take junior Pali language units, PALI1001 Pali A and PALI1002 Pali B, when available. Pali is closely related to Sanskrit, and is important to understanding the development of language in ancient India and to Buddhist Studies.

Project INFRA #4: GPN14
bronsen and I went to GPN14 a week ago and learned a few very valuable design-lessons.
1) The coils using ~10 loops of 2.5 mm² NYM wire don't cut it. We can't feed enough current through them to produce any serious magnetic field.
2) Thinner wire but also more loops results in way better magnetic performance.
3) Using pieces of threaded rod as ammo we did science (a bunch of measurements and some math) and determined there's an optimum distance between coil-center and projectile-center paired with an optimal trigger-pulse duration to fire a single stage coilgun. It doesn't seem to matter much how long the coil and/or projectile is.
4) Record muzzle velocity was 3.8 m/s (not really much)
5) We need better coils (more loops, way more loops)
We did some preliminary trials with a double-stage coilgun. Results weren't really what you could call a break through, we've only gained around 0.4 m/s in muzzle velocity. Probably the hand-tuned timing is off.
Timing will be replaced by proper real-time calculations in the next iteration. As a preparation for better speed measurements, we've already soldered simple light barrier breakouts that come with the required resistors and can be simply hooked up to the Arduino board which we're using currently for prototyping.
In other news, we've decided to name the project INFRA. Short for infuanfu rapid accelerator. There's also some code on Github which is almost certainly no use to anyone at this point.
Project INFRA #3
The borosilicate glass tubes arrived! So did the light barriers.
I quickly soldered a prototype on a piece of perfboard and hooked it up to my oscilloscope to measure the falling speed of anything I drop through the glass tube.
A rough calculation tells me I'm in the ball park and there should be enough accuracy to scale up to higher speeds which will be required for the actual coilgun setup.
Timing will later be done using an Atmel Atmega32U4 (probably) with options to go nuclear using a CPLD or maybe even an FPGA. No reason not to go insane ;-)
After all, I've got those components still around form a previous project.
Updates will follow.
Project Fronius Repair #3
The first batch of replacement components arrived and I started replacing a few here and there.
In the process of doing that I removed one of the larger circuit boards and noticed huge black smoke stain on the back. Turns out that one of several APT5010JVR power mosfets died.
On Digikey those go for 36 EUR. On Ebay however you can get them for as cheap as 14 EUR. Well, you do pay with longer shipping time (3 to 4 weeks).
Time to wait again…
Project INFRA #2
The second iteration of the coilgun project yielded in one awesome decision and one bad decision.
First the awesome decision: bronsen (who joined me in scaling up the coil gun) and I decided to get a proper high power capacitor. Specifically the Maxwell BCAP3000 that comes with a whopping 3000 F (note: no milli or micro here, proper Farads) capacitance.
It takes a "while" to charge it up (read: long minutes to few hours) depending on how much current you can provide.
However, the short circuit current of this beast is at around 10 kA thanks to a mere 0.28 mOhm ESR. Enough to use it for spot welding and melting of nails.
The bad decision we made was using 16 mm PVC tubing as a barrel.
The extra power we got from the huge capacitor was not enough to produce a magnetic field strong enough to get anywhere close the power we had with the small capacitor bank in the first iteration.
Also, with a capacitor of this size, we would not be able to simply shut down the magnetic field by waiting for the cap to discharge. It would simply take too long and produce way too much heat in the process.
So a means to actually switch such a high current was called for. The most powerful FET we found at Digikey was the IXYS IXTN600N04T2. It's able to switch 40 V and up to 600 A. So we got a few :3
To measure the projectile speed and time the switching of the coil we decided to go for the bare bones solution using IR LEDs and suitable photo darlington detectors.
To attach the homebrew light barriers to the PVC tube, I quickly designed a clip-on holder in Inkscape and used the shackspace laser cutter to cut a prototype from birch plywood.
The light barrier turned out to be sub-par for the task. Especially the holes that had to be drilled into the tube were a bit tricky to manufacture. The most difficult part was sanding down the edges of the holes inside the PVC tube so that the projectile wont get stuck.
The next iteration will change two things:
- Replace the PVC tube with a borosilicate glas tube. It's transparent so no holes have to be drilled.
- Replace the 16 mm sized tube with an 8 mm sized tube. This will result in a stronger magnetic field.
- Replace the homebrew light barrier with off the shelf 8 mm light barriers. No tricky alignment or mounting issues.
Practical Data Projection
Easterhegg is over and we had some printouts with personal data left. Mostly lists of names and a few notes taken during the event.
To make sure no personal data ends up in the wrong hands we decided to take the most fun solution and employed the process of rapid oxidization paired with mechanical agitation of the carbon fallout to ensure proper information disposal.
Project Fronius Repair #1
Just a day after I finished the iron flowerpot stand I ran into one of our shackspace-neighbors, Andi, who operates a huge metal workshop just downstairs of the hackerspace.
I asked him if he could teach me how to weld properly and he happily agreed. However, when I told him that I want to learn how to use the electrode welding machine we have at the space he was quick to tell me that he a) would be willing to teach me WIG/TIG welding and b) has no clue about electrode welding and really dislikes it.
After some back and forth talking about the cost of new WIG/TIG machines he remembered the Fronius MagicWave 2000 fuzzy that died a sudden heat death two years earlier. He offered to give the machine to shackspace for free so we could try and repair it.
I quickly agreed and went to work with fellow hacker derdritte to find out what was broken.
A first check resulted in a list of possibly and definitely broken parts, mostly high-power resistors.
A few clicks through the reichelt electronic store website resulted in shopping list of around 10 EUR for a first iteration to try fixing the machine. Way better than the 2000 EUR the official repair (without guarantee) would have cost.
Components were ordered and it was time to wait.
Iron Flowerpot Stand
The balcony garden at kombinat23 needed to stack some large flower pots to plant more herbs and veggies.
So I went on an excursion to the local hardware store and bought some metal. The stand is made of a ring that holds the actual flowerpot and four legs. Everything is welded together using the trusty old electrode welding machine and lots of frustration (did I mention that I have no clue about welding?).
In the end I learned enough to get a half way decent weld most of the time.
Blind Dovetail
I was toying around with Thomas' router at shackspace to try whether I could build a blind dovetail without messing up too much.
It turned out, I can. Careful setting up of and adjustments to the fences and the router resulted in a very snug fit of the dovetail prototype.
The material used for this was 16 mm MDF.
Project INFRA #1
I decided it's time to propel small metal pieces through space. What better to use for this than a coilgun.
The principle is simple: Use an electro magnet (the coil) to attract a magnetic projectile and turn of the coil at the right moment so let the projectile travel along the barrel.
To get a strong enough magnetic field, a bank of capacitors (each 1 mF) was quickly soldered together.
The coil is simply hand-wound wire wrapped around a drinking straw which also acts as a barrel.
Turning of the magnetic field is relatively simply: the capacitor bank discharges so quickly that you can simply adjust the system by moving the projectile (a tiny 8 mm nail) closer to or further away from the coil.
Said nail could then be shot "across" the room. That is, it dropped to the floor around 3 meters into the room when shot from table height.
A few iterations of different coil sizes were done, but in the end there simply wasn't enough power in the capacitor bank to get anywhere more… interesting ;)
Muscle-powered USB Charger
At shackspace we had an old manual sewing machine table sans machine standing around for years. I apparently wasn't the first one to get the idea that "one could build a muscle powered charger" out of this, however I simply got to work on it. And lo and behold: it was done in one afternoon.
I got a bike dynamo from the bike shop across the street from shackspace. This was actually the most expensive part since it was the only thing I bought. Everything else was already there at the space.
After some prototyping I built an adapter to fit the dynamo to the sewing machine's flywheel using some spare wood from the workshop.
The electronics is radically bare bones: no PCB used, everything is soldered together using the component's leads and made more durable using generous globs of hot glue.
The 6 V (nominal max) AC output of the dynamo was first rectified and then buffered in a bank of 1mF capacitors. A 7805 voltage regulator without any external components is then used to convert this to a 5 V level used for USB.
Theoretically this piece of leg-muscle terrorizing equipment should provide around 500 mA of power. However, actually charging your cellphone is quite a challenge ;-) Let's say it's the most work-intensive 1% you've ever charged your phone.

Friends of Ibragim Todashev Dispute FBI Version of Fatal Confrontation
May 22, 2013 | WMFE- Ibragim Todashev was killed while being questioned at an Orlando apartment in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing last month. The FBI says 27-year-old Todashev was shot after he initiated a violent confrontation in which an agent was injured.

Todashev was being questioned at an apartment complex early Wednesday morning near Universal Studios, by an FBI agent and two Massachusetts State Police Troopers.
Khusen Taramov, a friend of Todashev, says he was also questioned by the FBI for several hours Tuesday night before he was let go.
Taramov told WMFE Todashev knew one of the Boston bombing suspects, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, through his involvement in Mixed Martial Arts when he was living in Boston.
He said the FBI had been following Todashev and other Chechens in their circle of friends ever since the bombing.
Taramov said the FBI had interviewed Todashev before, and they told him yesterday was going to be his last interview.
"He was nervous, he felt something [was] wrong and he didn't want to go. He had some bad feeling," Taramov said.
Taramov said "didn't believe for a minute," that Todashev would have initiated a confrontation with the agents who were interviewing him.
"He didn't flip out," he said.
"I think something went wrong there. I guess they just shot him. He didn't do nothing. I know him. He just wanted everything to be over quickly, so he wouldn't do anything stupid, he wouldn't do nothing like that."
Taramov said Todashev knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev, but he wasn't in regular contact with him, and when heard about the bombing last month, he was shocked. He said Todashev had been planning to visit Chechnya later this month.
Another of Todashev's friends told WMFE he was "a regular guy who liked mixed martial arts."
"There was nothing bad we can say about him,"said Saeed Dunkaev.
Dunkaev said he had also been interviewed by the FBI.
"They were asking us everything- from small kind of question to big, like 'What do you think about [the] bombing, what do your parents do?' even some questions I thought were not important" said Dunkaev.
Todashev, a Russian born US citizen, was arrested earlier this month on an aggravated battery charge. The arrest affidavit says Todashev got into a fight over a parking space at an Orlando shopping mall. Todashev told police after the incident he was a "former mixed martial arts fighter."
An employee of The Jungle Mixed Martial Arts gym in Orlando told WMFE Ibragim Todashev was a member of the gym a year and a half ago.
One gym owner speculated that Todashev may have met Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing who was killed in a shoot-out by authorities, at a Wai-Kru, a gym outside of Boston.
An FBI post-shooting incident review team has been sent from Washington, DC, and is expected to arrive in Orlando within 24 hours.

|thorn (thôrn) Pronunciation Key
A short, hard, pointed part of a stem or branch of a woody plant. Compare spine.
(1.) Heb. hedek (Prov. 15:19), rendered "brier" in Micah 7:4. Some thorny plant, of the Solanum family, suitable for hedges. This is probably the so-called "apple of Sodom," which grows very abundantly in the Jordan valley. "It is a shrubby plant, from 3 to 5 feet high, with very branching stems, thickly clad with spines, like those of the English brier, with leaves very large and woolly on the under side, and thorny on the midriff." (2.) Heb. kotz (Gen. 3:18; Hos. 10:8), rendered _akantha_ by the LXX. In the New Testament this word _akantha_ is also rendered "thorns" (Matt. 7:16; 13:7; Heb. 6:8). The word seems to denote any thorny or prickly plant (Jer. 12:13). It has been identified with the Ononis spinosa by some. (3.) Heb. na'atzutz (Isa. 7:19; 55:13). This word has been interpreted as denoting the Zizyphus spina Christi, or the jujube-tree. It is supposed by some that the crown of thorns placed in wanton cruelty by the Roman soldiers on our Saviour's brow before his crucifixion was plaited of branches of this tree. It overruns a great part of the Jordan valley. It is sometimes called the lotus-tree. "The thorns are long and sharp and recurved, and often create a festering wound." It often grows to a great size. (See CROWN OF THORNS.) (4.) Heb. atad (Ps. 58:9) is rendered in the LXX. and Vulgate by Rhamnus, or Lycium Europoeum, a thorny shrub, which is common all over Palestine. From its resemblance to the box it is frequently called the box-thorn.

For more than a year, I worked at the Danbury Patch as the gallery photographer and reporter covering the education beat, features and other news. I also covered the Housatonic and Naugatuck Valleys for the Regional Editor. I am also published as Christina Rose. My Political views: I do not associate myself with a political party as I see the benefits and detriments of both major parties. I would classify myself as an Independent in every sense of the word. I vote for candidates rather than parties, and look for candidates who are honest, sincere, and hold a true goal of being a servant of the people. I have met many people, Republicans, Democrats, Independents and totally apolitical, that fall under that category. I am fiscally conservative, but understand the need to support my community over my own comfort, whenever necessary. My personal beliefs tend to be both very conservative and very liberal. I hold high standards for myself and believe in personal responsibility. I firmly believe that rights without responsibility is tyranny. I also believe that law without compassion is tyranny. Fortunately, I do see that there are many wonderful people in the world. Tyranny is often just louder. My work with deeply impoverished people, in places where there was virtually no opportunity to create a better life, reminds me that we can, and must, create a better world by providing opportunities for success where there are none. My religion is faith based. I believe deeply. I also do not believe that any one religion holds all of the secrets of the universe. I see religions as parts of an interlocking puzzle, and each has a bit of news the others could learn from. If one is to believe there is one God, then one has to consider that all religions are getting their information from the same source. I worked in civil rights for many years, and know on a very deep level the problems that bigotry can cause to others. I am the founder of ChangingWinds.Org, a 501 C3 non-profit organization dedicated to bettering the lives of Native American children through education and charitable efforts. All of the children served by Changing Winds reside in the poorest counties in the country, located on Indian Reservations in South Dakota.
