Outdoor speakers let you move the party outside Outdoor speakers are built tough -- they laugh at wind, rain and weather. Tuck a pair under your eaves and they'll pump out the tunes to keep everybody smiling and swaying at your next cookout or pool party. We also have some "rock" speakers that blend seamlessly into your landscaped lawn or garden. Rock your next pool party with outdoor speakers from Definitive Technology. The AW 5500 features the same high-quality speaker components as their indoor models, but is ready to stand up to the hardships of outdoor living. Install a pair (note: speakers are sold individually) near the pool, on your deck, or even in a sauna — their all-weather PolyStone enclosures are fully sealed. And the included brackets let you rotate the speaker up to 360° for maximum flexibility. Crystal-clear highs, distinct mids, and deep bass Definitive pairs a 1" tweeter with a 5-1/4" woofer for clear, accurate reproduction of voices and instruments. A low-bass radiator reinforces the output of the 5-1/4" driver to deliver bass equivalent to that of an 8" woofer. Some outdoor speakers are anemic at the low end — not these. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn more about in-wall wiring at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of in-wall speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

Overview: The Definitive Technology AW series all-weather outdoor speaker allows you to enjoy your music outdoors in domestic or commercial applications. The AW series all-weather outdoor speaker utilizes specially developed materials and components to achieve a high level of durability, dependability, and sound quality. Note: This speaker is sold individually. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Pressure Coupled Radiator Design: The AW series outdoor speaker provides clear, high-definition sound by pressure-coupling a BDSS technology driver to a racetrack-shaped mid/bass radiator cleverly placed on the opposite side of the enclosure. This technique offers a total bass radiating area greater than an 8-inch woofer to belt out powerful bass that fills outdoor areas. BDSS Technology: Definitive Technology's Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS) driver offers a wide-bandwidth accurate frequency response, broad dispersion, low distortion, and detail retrieval; so you hear more the music with greater accuracy and enjoyment. BDSS drivers incorporate the following design features. Balanced Double Surrounds: The speaker's balanced double surrounds support the cone at two points to provide better mechanical stability for longer, more linear excursion, and improved damping to suppress parasitic cone resonance. Mineral-Filled Polymer Cone: The speaker features a deeply drawn mineral-filled polymer cone engineered using sophisticated 3D modeling techniques for wide range performance. Waveguide: The cone's integrated waveguide smoothes off-axis response for broad, even dispersion and better imaging. High Temperature Voice Coil: The driver's high temperature, oversized, lightweight vented voice coil offers improved power handling and quick transient response. The voice coil is also lengthened to increase linearity and lower distortion. Magnet Structure: The driver's magnetic system is optimized by finite element analysis to maximize magnetic flux in the gap for high efficiency and linear excursion. Die-Cast Alloy Basket: The die-cast alloy basket minimizes ringing and vibration while the open area minimizes back wave reflection. Drivers: The Definitive Technology AW5500 features a 5-1/2" BDSS driver coupled to a 5" x 8" (racetrack) pressure-driven low-bass radiator, and a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter. Break-In Period: The AW series outdoor loudspeakers will sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability. The break-in period allows the suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a more open midrange, and smoother high frequency reproduction. Enclosure Design Polystone Non-Resonant All-Weather Enclosure: The Definitive Technology AW5500 features a fully sealed (air and water tight) design, aluminum grilles, and rugged PolyStone enclosure, which allow it to be fully exposed to the elements and still reliably deliver their indoor speaker sound quality for years of outdoor listening enjoyment. Note: The AW series speakers utilize special components and material for outdoor use. However, you will achieve the longest life of the speaker by positioning it to minimize direct exposure to the elements as much as possible. Available Colors: The Definitive Technology AW5500 comes in either a Black or White (paintable) finish. Connections Binding Posts: The AW5500 is equipped with a pair of gold-plated, 5-way binding posts to attach your receiver's speaker wire. Mounting Options Mounting Bracket: The AW5500 outdoor speaker features an integrated galvanized steel mounting bracket and unique enclosure shape which allow a full 360-degrees of rotation for maximum placement flexibility. The AW outdoor speaker, using the integrated mounting bracket, can be oriented horizontally or vertically. The mounting bracket allows you to mount the speaker to an outdoor wall or under the eve of your home. The integrated mounting bracket can also be used as horizontal stand, if you want to simply place the speaker on a table or shelf. The mounting bracket is also removable, if you want to place the outdoor speaker in a vertical position on a shelf or table. Note: The AW speaker can be mounted vertically or horizontally, but remember to always point the speaker in such a way as to allow water to roll off the driver cone and/or low bass radiator. Placement: Position the AW series loudspeaker as close as possible to the area where you will be listening to it. Pointing the active driver baffle towards the listener while the low-bass radiator side faces the wall or ground gives you the ideal balance of clear mids, extended highs, and low-end bass even in the tough acoustic conditions of the outdoors. The AW speaker has a very wide dispersion pattern; however, if you are trying to cover a very large area, you will be better off using multiple pairs of AW speakers in order to achieve an even distribution of sound. With multiple pairs you will avoid having areas where the sound is tool loud and others where the sound is not loud enough. One pair of AW series loudspeakers will cover approximately 200-400 square feet of listening area at moderately loud levels. Try to point the speaker directly at the listening area.

Just got installed on deck. Look and sound great. Pros: Good quality, full sound Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 if you're looking for bass, these are not for you Written By gtyup88, Nashville, TN on Saturday, June 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I originally ordered the 5500's but was not happy with the bass response. I thought it was the scrawny wire I was using but when I hooked them up to 16awg wire it did not improve. I have to admit however the midrange and high clarity was amazing. I then ordered the Polk Atrium 7's and was more impressed with their full sound so I am sticking with them. Overall, not completely impressed with either of them (I'm used to 500w Mackie for outdoor fun) but my advice is if you're looking for full sound out of your outdoor speakers I would go with a 6.5 or larger driver. Pros: Clarity is unmatched. Construction is stout. Connectors and adjustors are better than Polk. Cons: The bass radiator is not a speaker. This speaker lacks bass response. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great quality speakers Written By PumaChabra, Midlothian va on Friday, June 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Beautifully designed all weather speakers with a full range of sound quality. Works great for an outdoor pool area. Pros: Great highs and lows (40hz!) very loud for a small speaker with excellent quality. Cons: Had to mount them with bass side down (as opposed to vertical with bass on left or right.) to avoid a very sectional sound. Would have been fine verticle if I ordered two more but who wants to do that. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology AW 550 - WOW!! Written By Ed, Dothan, AL on Wednesday, June 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are great!! They have excellent bass for speaker their size with exceptional detail on the highs as well. If you are looking for a great sounding outdoor speaker these are great and provide more than ample sound. I was afraid I would need to step up to the next level, but that was a fleeting thought after I hooked them up. They are hooked up to basic Sony stereo receiver with a Sony CD player just for patio and backyard use. They sounded great right out of the box and should only get better after the break in period. If you want great quality outdoor sound at a great price I am not sure you can beat these speakers! Wow!! They don't sound like outdoor speakers at all, very clear with excellent lows and highs! You can't go wrong with these in my opinion. I am VERY PLEASED with their performance!! Pros: Great sound - Highs and lows - You hear details you don't hear on lesser indoor speakers on this quality set of outdoor speakers! Cons: NONE!! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Performance for the $$$ Written By Tom, Denver, CO on Thursday, May 08, 2014 I bought a pair of the AW5500s to mount over my back deck and they sound great. I am driving them with a Yamaha R-S500 stereo receiver and I can't detect any distortion even at high volumes (haven't truly cranked them because my neighbors would hate me). The bass is much better than other outdoor speakers I've heard in the past. Being rear-facing woofers, they use the wall they are mounted on to aid in the bass quality. For best results, the manual says to install them under and eave so you have two solid surfaces for the bass waves to bounce off of. I could hear decent bass from 0-15ft but then it kind of fell off after that. This is no surprise though being outdoors where acoustics are pretty terrible in general. If you have the space, consider the AW6500s because they are only cost a little more per speaker and the bass response looks to be better. The AW5500s are already big outdoor speakers themselves, so I think the 6500s might be too big for my eave overhangs. Pros: No noticeable distortion Good bass within 15 ft Solid mounting brackets 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Amazing outdoor speakers.Everything I was looking for and more.Thank you Crutchfield again for your help as always. Can't go wrong with this speaker,highly recommend. Pros: Great bass and mids and highs Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Excellent outdoor speakers Written By Chigo, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Just installed these about 2 weeks ago, so can't say anything about durability/longevity yet, but so far, so good. They sound great; they aren't going to challenge the reference speakers in your main system, but the highs are reasonably clear and open, and the midrange and bass are surpisingly satisfying for such a small speaker - I think the passive radiators help with that, especially if you reinforce the bass with some walls/corners. They feel very solid with quality materials and were very easy to install, and super flexible in terms of installation/placement/positioning options (e.g., they can be mounted vertically and angled in/out or mounted horizontally and angled up/down). My only wish is that both angling options were available in either orientation (e.g., that I could mount them vertically and angle them both inward AND downward), but that would require a more complex mounting system, and that's a but much to ask of an outdoor speaker at this price point. Overall, I'm very satisfied; I would buy these again and would recommend them without hesitation. Pros: - Sound great for small outdoor speakers - Active midrange/bass driver + passive radiator produces satisfying bass - Higher maximum power handling than many other outdoor speakers in/near their price class - They make grilling and hanging out on the deck just that much more enjoyable Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

We have wanted new speakers on our front deck for some time. I haven't bought speakers for some time and was unsure of the sound quality of a sealed outdoor speaker. My family and neighbors love the sound. The AW5500s sound awesome, two of these on zone 2 of our Onkyo TXSR 875 readily fill this area with great sound.

Yes | No 4 out of 5 High quality outdoor speakers Written By UpHillEd, Colorado on Tuesday, August 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i recently purchased two pairs of AW 5500. They sound excellent, as advertised. My comparison outdoor speakers are Bose 151's and Boston Acoustics Soundwave compact outdoor speakers. The sound quality, tone and range is much better than both the Bose and BA. I'm pleased with them. Pros: excellent tone, range and general quality Cons: large for outdoor speakers, but that's all relative. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology Outdoor Speakers AW5500 Written By Dave T., Long Island ,NY on Tuesday, August 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I decided to get these speakers since I have this brand for my home theater setup(Pro Cinema 600- huge Bang for your Buck). Was originally going to power these via my Denon AVR2809CI...but the process of wiring was quite detailed considering where I was going to mount them. Fortunately, my backyard entertaining area allowed me to put these on my garage. So I wound up buying a 2 channel SONY A/V receiver/Amp - 75watts/Ch. I was a little hesitant to use an inferior amp as far as Quality/Power, but once I got these speakers going I was more than happy. I mounted them horizontally, about 16 inches below the garage soffit with the bass radiator facing up...can definatley hear bass along with treble and mids. There is a break in period for these or any speaker...so if they are going to sound better with time...I will be even more pleased than I am now. Pros: Defintive Technology Quality. Paintable surface. Very easy to mount. Cons: None. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology AW 5500 Written By Java_Joe, Downingtown, Pa on Sunday, July 14, 2013 VERY NICE Speakers!!! I am soooooo pleased with my selection of these for my outside deck. I'm running them off Zone 2 of my Denon 2312CI system and they sound great! The tweeter and midrange are crystal clear and I hear instruments playing in the music I haven't heard in my other speakers. I have them installed under the eaves of the second floor and quite close to the house. They are separated appx. 11 feet horizontally and are located appx. 4 feet above seated position. They are pointed to a focal point appx. 10 feet onto the deck. I've adjusted the bass a little from the receiver as I believe my speaker placement hurt the base a little. But I'm very happy after he adjustment. Installation was easy but customized. The speaker brackets have the installation holes for mounting 10 inches apart and my joists under the eaves are 16 inches on center. Since the speakers are somewhat heavy, I felt uncomfortable hanging the speakers from the vinyl covering the underside of the eaves. So, I screwed the bracket to a 1 inch by 2 inch and 10 1/2 inch piece of wood and screwed the center of the wood up into a joist. This way I have sufficient support for each speaker. Again, very nice speakers. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology AW 5500 Written By Wesley, Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, June 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I mounted these on my screened in porch about a foot under the ceiling on the wall with the right one about 3 ft from the corner of the adjacent solid wall and the left one about 6 feet from the open screened wall. They are running off Zone 2 of my Denon 3212. I have them EQ'ed slightly to bump treble and bass just enough to remove the mid honk. I haven't broken them in yet, only about 10 hours of moderate volume play so far, but really I am impressed with the sound stage they create! I was thinking I may still need a Sub at some point, which I may as I tend to be a bass head, but for a smaller set of speakers that got full spouse approval (after I painted them to match the house and the 6500's were just a little too large to be acceptable) they sound awesome! Diverse range of music testing so far from Gary Willis' solo bass to JT to No Doubt to Dethklok and it all works well and with good detail and really good low end. Having them so close to the ceiling with the passive radiator just about a foot away and almost perfectly parallel to the ceiling surface helps a lot I'm sure!. I'm not sure they would do so well out in the open without the coverage to help amplify the low end. It'll be interesting to see how they do when I've got them broken in. I think the 6500's would sound better, however, for the price and the fact that the size is not overly distracting and got full spouse approval makes these solid winners! Pros: Size, paintable, sound, detail, range extension with really good low end, easy to mount. Cons: None yet. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I upgraded from mid range pair of yamahas. Theyre under the roof in my covered porch, connected to my HTPC. I have around 10 hours on them, and they really do sound very nice. Best sound I've ever heard in an outdoor speaker. Excellent base and crisp highs. I explained to Daisy that I wanted full sound, at low to moderate volume levels, and she recommended these. I have turned them up to test drive, and they sound great at high volume. For my purposes though, listening at low volumes, they also sound great. Nice deep base with very low volume. I'm very pleased. Pros: Just sound great. Cons: Had to drill some holes in the mounting bracket for my application to mount horizontally on a vertical stud. Not really a big deal though. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Awesome Outdoor Sound! Written By Dusty Mark, Florida on Friday, February 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We finally decided to use our lanai for something other than drying the step-son's sweaty workout clothes. The bugs in FL are an issue so we're having it screened in. We selected these speakers at the recommendation of Budddy, a Crutchfield advisor. We have a busy, four-lane road adjacent to our back yard so there is a lot of competing noise. The Def Tech AW-5500 speakers put out plenty of clear highs and mids with strong bass to help mask the traffic noise. The speakers are mounted on a support beam about 9' above the seating area and 1' below the ceiling. This gives the bass something to reverberate off of. I connected the speakers to our Yamaha home theater receiver on the B channel. I wired in a Russound WALTX-2 volume controller and installed it behind my place on the love seat. The volume control allows me to adjust the music for traffic and wind conditions. I give these speakers a strong five-star rating. I'm normally a Klipsch person, but these Def Techs probably put out more bass than the comparable Klipsch. I'm extremely happy with the full sound of these speakers and highly recommend them! Pros: Bright highs and mids. Strong bass. Easy installation. All-weather. Full sound. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Jeff K, New Orleans, LA on Tuesday, August 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these Definitive Technology AW 5500 speakers about 3 months ago while my house was being remodeled. I had plenty of time to perform the suggested 30-40 hour break-in period at moderate volume levels by hooking them up to the surround sound system at my temporary quarters. I recently moved back into my newly remodeled house and installed the AW5500s on the covered porch ceiling and close to the wall. They sound awesome! It is not very often that my expectations of a product are exceeded by the products performance. Pros: Easy to install, Sound great and look great. Cons: 30-40 hour preak-in period before you can really crank them and hear the true quality. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I was a bit leery of ordering something without being able to hear it first, but I knew a little about Definitive and with Crutchfield's return policy, I figured it was worth the risk. Installed them on a screened porch, totally protected from the weather and close to the wall and roof to maximize bass response. I've only had them up and running for a couple of days, but so far, I love them. Easy to listen to with just about any kind of music...not harsh, but they do provide a good detailed sound and crisp bass for their size. Installation was very easy as well. These will not be returned! Pros: Crisp, clear, full sound. Easy installation. Good bass response. Cons: None. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice speakers, easy installation Written By David R, Bluffton, SC on Wednesday, May 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just received these speakers late yesterday afternoon and also got them installed on our back patio. First let me say that the installation was a breeze! I have Hardieplank exterior walls (a cement type product) which require masonary type screws. Total cost from Home Depot for the masonary bit and the 3/16" x 1' 3/4' screws needed was about 7.00. I marked the location for the screws using the provided speaker bracket, drilled the holes, screwed the screws in about 3/4 the way, slid the bracket onto the screws, and tightened the screws. Both speaker brackets were installed in less than ten minutes! As far as the sound quality overall, they are very warm sounding. There is quite a bit of bass output. I turned them up using the 140 watt per channel amp I am using to drive them and they sounded good. However, these will require a breaking in period (per DefTech's manual) before these will really shine. After three hours of continuous use I could already tell a difference in the sound than right out of the box. I am confident my review will change to a full five stars after the break-in period is complete. Great speakers at a great price equals a happy customer. Pros: Very easy instalation, good sound quality after a break-in period Cons: None so far 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speakers Written By Paulo, Atlanta, GA on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After a long search for outdoors speakers I found these as the best in the market. I installed a pair in my outdoor kitchen and they sound awesome. I also bought 2 rock speakers to install close to my outdoor fireplace. But honestly, I would not need them since the quality of sound delivered by these speakers would cover that area too. The only reason I kept the rock speakers is because I added them as "zone 2" in my receiver. So I can listen different channels in the kitched and fireplace or even music at fireplace and game in the kitchen. Since these speakers are connect to my TV. I strong recommend these speakers. But please, don't save money on wiring cables. Make sure to use properly cables. HDMI 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 As Good As it gets for the Money!! Written By EZ_E, Socal on Thursday, December 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed them in the corners of my patio cover and they really produce quality sound for an outdoor space. bass response is good when mounted under the eave and projects very well. Very happy. Pros: These speakers and mounts work fantastic. Easy set up and installation. Cons: Wish they had mounts that rotate right and left 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Sound! Written By Corey, Charles Town, WV on Friday, May 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Speakers for the money. I have two of these on my screened in back deck, and they sound great. There is moderate bass and crystal clear sound, even at the louder volumes. The outside volume controller (seperate purchase) is awesome and well worth the $100. I would buy these again, and after lots of research, I think I got the best speakers for the money. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great outdoor speakers on a moderate budget Written By Brian, Austin, TX on Friday, April 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers, easy to mount even in akward locations, feel sturdy, sound very good. Only negative for me is the 3 inch yellow sticker that comes attached to the grill telling users to point the speaker face with the driver and tweeter toward the listening area - the sticker is right on the grill and impossible to remove entirely, so a good looking speaker ends up tainted with sticky white backing. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Definitive Technology AW 5500 Written By MikeH, DeBary, FL on Monday, January 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic speakers. Wired them up under my lanai roof against the wall and the results were exactly what I was trying to achieve. Highs are bright and detailed without the harsh brittle sound, while the low end is well rounded and full. Maybe try and get at least one of them mounted in a corner if possible to accentuate the lows. Getting lows out of small drivers, especially outdoors can be a challenge. Bass frequencies are non-directional so having one of my speakers in a corner gives good overall spectrum. I love them. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great high end, decent bass respone Written By David, Weston, CT on Thursday, September 23, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a speaker with strong bass for my patio. These have decent bass but extremely clear high end which fills the outdoor space well. Good solution at the price. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Outdoor Sound Written By Chad, Minneapolis, MN on Friday, July 23, 2010 Just hooked these up last week, so they still aren't fully broken in yet, but they sound great already. They produce good bass for an outdoor setting. We had 75 mph winds the day after I put them up so I can say with confidence that the brackets and speaker enclosures hold up to the elements. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked I have 16 ga wire ran for my outdoor speakers. For this size of wire would it be better to get the smaller model? How much if a limiting factor is this? I have two seperate zones, One area has an overhang, another does not. [ tor702 Mar 28, 2014 ] 1 answer I forwarded your question to an Advisor and they responded with the following: The 16 gauge wire works great with the AW5500's. It will even work well with the AW6500 if you want to go to the larger driver. If you would like to discuss further you can contact an Advisor directly by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat.

Batting Cage Net55' x 14' x 12' #24
ProCage 55' x 14' x 12' #24 Batting Cage Net
If you are looking for a quality contructed yet affordable batting cage tunnel, look no further than ProCage™. Procage nets are available in a #24 thread for softball, backyard, and light indoor use as well as #42 thread for professional, collegiate and high school use.
ProCage™ batting cages are constructed of heavy synthetic HDPE fiber which is extruded with a Permanent Black Color and with very important Sunlight U.V. Inhibitors throughout each filament. 3 YEAR WARRANTY on most popular sizes. Our netting is manufactured using extremely high abrasion resistant twisted knotted netting, the strongest form of netting in commercial use. This net is perfect to use with either the 3 Section or 4 Section Frame Kit Batting Cage.
What makes our netting better…
- 3 Year Warranty on most popular sizes.
- Permanent Black Color – Each filament is extruded black - will not fade or need re-dying.
- 100% waterproof – The absolute best filament for Outdoor Use.
- U.V. Protected – U.V. additives extruded directly into filament.
- Not a coating that will wear off or require re-treating.
- Twisted Knotted construction – Strongest form of netting in commercial use. Will not run if cut.
- Very High Abrasion Resistance – The biggest factor in long-term tunnel use.
- Low-stretch – No drooping overhead ceiling or having to re-hang net due to stretch or sag.
- Hung Square – (Like tennis nets) Rated best for appearance. Allows tunnel to open fully and hang straight.
- Most expensive to produce but best for reinforced edges, corners and seams.
- Rope reinforcement – All edges, corners and top hanging ropes use heavy synthetic rope with machine-sewn overlock-stitch.
- No rope slippage. More durable than vinyl borders and grommets.
- Top support ropes have extra lengths at both ends for ease in hanging.

Most Students in Fraternities
Fraternities are built on the concepts of brotherhood and camaraderie, with members often bonding over shared interests, whether they are social, academic or even religious. Going Greek generally comes at a cost – including fees for social events, recruitment and housing and membership dues – but can be an easy way to meet new people and become part of an active social circle. Students who pledge a fraternity may also inherit a network of contacts that extends well beyond their campus, a plus when it's time to find a job or settle into a new city after graduation. The schools on this list had the highest percentage of male undergraduates in fraternities in fall 2012.

I'm going to go the different route and say:
It depends on what you will be connecting the headphones to and what kind of music you will be playing..
The Senn HD600 series is not quite what I want to spend for a headphone to listen to FM rock stastion. I know the Monster beats headphone has some not too favorable reviews besides its powerful bass.
Senn HD 580/600/650 series really need an amp to make them shine. If you are just going to run off a preamp, I'd find something that is more efficient. Possibly Grado SRxx. Not sure how important bass is for you.
Perhaps you should look over this thread:
The Grados are great and will have WAY more detail and imaging than the Dr. Dres which I heard in a BB a while back...the Dres have prodigious bass but are NOT very clean....actually they are not much cleaner than the 100 dollar pair of Sony DJ HPs I have with me here in China...they just put out a TON more BASS!

I have a pair of HD 212's that I bought for general use which work great also have a pair of 555 which I love as well. Love both and think that they a a very good and well built product and sound very well. my 212's have taken a beating and withstood all of it.
Sennheiser HD 280 Pros are full-sized sealed headphones that can be had for $100 or less. Very comfortable, sound very good (IMO) and are great when you don't want those around you to be bothered by your music. They are also quite efficent...as you can see by the picture below I sometimes use them with an iPod Shuffle. I let a couple of folks hear this setup at PF a couple years ago and it sounded much better than one might think.

yeah I was surprised myself with them, I got them for xmas from the Wife. I think they are actually clearer on the high end than my monitor 60s .. I put in a Diana Krall SACD and the High Hat and brush snare are always very fuzzy but with the Sennheisers I could really pick those out.

Thank you guys for getting me away from Monster. :D
Interesting, I searched for any reviews on the monsters and this came up.
I heard them they other night LOTS of bass you could feel the head phones shaking from the amount of bass. Remins me of those skull candies. I may have to try the sennheisers for a nice pair of around ear headphones as all i have is ear buds from kipsch and bose.

Ok, I know Im very late to the game, but I have to say these classic Grados are a steal for $79 bucks!
I also have a pair of Sennheiser PX-200s for the gym and they are great for the purpose, but I wanted something of a little better quality for my work/school commute. Im not yet into using headphones at home so I wanted to stay away from anything that required additional power to drive. I was looking for someone strictly for an iPod use. After an endless shootout at j&r music world after work yesterday, I went with the sr-60i. I tried the 80i but they were out of stock and there was a small noticeable difference in bass. The detail is pretty rich for the price range. I didnt find the head support uncomfortable as some have complained. I also like the fact that their operation is located in Brooklyn.
My only complaint would be that these are definitely big ole ear muffs that will work out fine for the cooler months but will not be suitable for outdoor use during summer.
I do have to add that j&r had a whole entire wall full of Beats by Dre, Beats by Diddy, Lady Gaga, Monsters Miles Davis Estate edition ( something like that), and Quincy Jones headphones. It kills me that folks are willing to pay a premium endorsement fee just for something that is simply rebadged by a celebrity. It reminds me of all of those Isuzu Rodeos dressed up by Acura.
Any thoughts on great ear buds? Id like a pair of these but these are certainly not something that you can or would demo.

Thanks, i'm on it.
Man, can't believe Sennheiser HD's and Dr. Dre Monster beats headphones were even in the same sentence!
It's like asking "should I buy the cerwin vegas or rtia9's?"
Everyone has their own personal taste, but they are just two completely different animals.
Well I'm a big Sennheiser fan! ... so you know what I would choose.
That said I did buy the wife Monster Heartbeats for Valentines day (for the gym), she loves them but doesn't really like audio the way I do.
All the Monster stuff Dr Dre included, is all about Marketing and bass. Who else would install a battery in the earphone to bump the bass....kind of like the "thumpers" with the subs in their trunk at the stop light IMHO.

Putting a name to a face
The newest version of Aperture would like to make your acquaintance. No, really. Aperture 3 has a new feature that allows it get to know you, or at least to recognize your face, and put your name to it. It starts off by analyzing your photos and finding all the faces in them. But not only does it detect that there is a face in a photo, it "looks at" the face, or faces in a photo, and finds the same person in multiple photos. Then, you can add a person's name to their picture, so that you can easily search for "Christine" and see all the photos in your library featuring Christine, even if she's one of many faces in a group shot. And just like in real life, the more time you spend using the face recognition features in Aperture, the more it "gets to know people" and so it improves in its recognition as you use it more. The pleasure is all Aperture's.
"Yeah, I went there."
It wasn't so long ago that GPS receivers were erratic pieces of equipment found only in very expensive, underwhelming personal locators. But these days, GPS is used in everything from integrated car navigation systems to cell phones to laptops even to cameras, and the technology has improved a lot. If you've got a GPS enabled-camera, Aperture 3 lets you take full advantage of the embedded location data so that you can easily organize and sort your photos by where they were taken. But as far as it's come, GPS still isn't perfect. So, if your camera puts the location of a picture across the street from where it was taken, Aperture lets you adjust the location of your shots with an easy-to-use map interface. This same interface lets you take advantage of the location capabilities of Aperture even if your camera doesn't have a built-in GPS receiver. That way, not only can you tell your friends, "Yeah, I went there," next time you're talking trash — you can SHOW them.
Get past Picasso
When making adjustments to photos, most programs require a touch more delicate than that required to paint a picture in real life — and take considerably more time. More often than not, what started as a photo in need of a little polish comes out looking like a Picasso masterpiece. Unless Impressionism is your preferred style of photography, this can put a serious damper on your artistic endeavors. But put your fears aside; Aperture puts you back in charge of your pictures. It provides you with very particular brush control to power your edits, so you get precisely the effect you had envisioned. Helping push your photo-editing past the Picasso phase is the Detect Edges option. When Detect Edges is enabled, Aperture "sees" the edges in your pictures, so you paint effects exactly where you want them, without going "outside the lines". And since there are plenty of pre-included effects for everything from smoothing skin to blurring the background of a photo, making adjustments to your photos has never been quicker or easier. Realism, anyone?
Setting the mood
Photography, like any art form, has the power to evoke strong emotions from the viewer. But even the most seasoned professional doesn't always get the shot perfect in the field. If one setting is a tad off, the whole shot can be ruined. But, if you've got Aperture 3, a small mistake by no means dooms your picture to the digital landfill! Aperture features loads of adjustment presets to tweak your photo's look so you can draw exactly the feelings you choose from your viewers. You may even realize that the "perfect" shots from the field can benefit from a slight modification. Of course, the adjustments aren't just for touch-ups. You can use the one-touch adjustments to add whole new effects to your shot, like black-and-white! Or, for shots that perfectly match your vision, you can create (and save) custom adjustments, then apply them to other photos or projects. And adjustments are easy to use, whether you're using the one-click fixes or making your own adjustments to presets. As you browse your adjustment options, you can instantly see a preview of the effect on your image in a separate window. And, if you apply an adjustment and decide later that it wasn't the effect you were going for, all adjustments are non-destructive, so you can easily go back to the photo before the adjustment was applied. Once you've used adjustments and brushes to perfect you're shot, you're ready to elicit smiles, tears, or any other emotional display you'd like from your fans.
The big picture
In the last several years, Apple has turned their computer display panels from capable components into beautiful cinematic screens. And now, Aperture 3 lets you take full advantage of the splendor of a Mac screen. With the latest version of Aperture, you can browse through your entire library in the full-screen browser without leaving full-screen view. You can view your full-screen pictures at zoom levels from 25 to 1000 percent, or even browse your video clips full-screen. While viewing your photos full-screen, the Vanishing HUD feature lets you temporarily hide the Adjustments inspector so you can view only the control you're using, and your picture. Viewing your photos on the full splendor of your Apple display is nothing short of glorious.
The electric slide show
Let's pretend you're at a wedding, taking pictures to make a commemorative gift for the newlyweds. You get some great shots of the couple, the crowd, the church. Then you go to the reception. The electric slide breaks out on the dance floor, with people rushing to join. This is too good to miss. So, you switch your camera to its HD video mode and start recording the spontaneous dancing. Now, assuming Ric Silver doesn't sue you for capturing the electric slide on camera, this would make a great addition to your present. But . . . this is 2010, not 2020; embedding video into a scrapbook is not exactly practical. Before you scrap the footage, listen up. Aperture 3 makes it easier than ever to create stunning slideshows. Not only can you use the wonderful, optimized wedding photos in your Aperture library, you can include that HD video from the reception, and even keep it, and other video clips in your Aperture library. To complete the slideshow, you can include audio from your footage, music, voiceovers, and more. Your audio can even be layered so you can hear the happy pair exchange vow while your favorite tear-jerking melody from iTunes plays softly in the background. To really take your gift to the next level, you can add titles, themes, borders, and more. And Aperture 3 makes it easier than ever to create that unique slideshow with great controls. Once you start creating slideshows in Aperture, your scrapbook paper will be doomed to dust-collecting. Of course, you could still use Aperture's tools to help you build and publish a beautiful photo book, but once you see how much fun it is to use Aperture 3 to build beautiful multi-media slideshows, you'll have a hard time switching back.
The cake itself
The features we mentioned above are just the new features in Aperture, the icing on a very scrumptious cake. Aperture was already a very powerful, easy-to-use tool for organizing, touching up, altering, and sharing photos. Quite simply, it's the best way to handle photos on a Mac. And now, with Aperture 3, it's better than ever.
Make the move
There are plenty of reasons to make the move from iPhoto to Aperture. iPhoto is a great program with some pretty cool tools. Well, Aperture does everything that iPhoto does, plus a lot more. And Apple makes it easy to make the move to their premium photo management software. You can easily import your iPhoto library, complete with all the work you've already done in iPhoto. Don't delay — make the switch today.

Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. They can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
Lung cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the lungs. There are two types of lung cancers:
- Non-small cell lung cancer—generally grows and spreads more slowly (more common form)
- Small cell lung cancer—generally grows more quickly and is more likely to spread to other parts of the body
The following can cause damage to the cells in the lungs, leading to lung cancer:
- First- or second-hand smoke from cigarettes, cigars, or pipes
- Exposure to asbestos (a type of mineral) or radon (radioactive gas)
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing lung cancer:
- Smoking
- Using chewing tobacco
- Being exposed to second-hand smoke
- Being exposed to asbestos or radon
- Having a lung disease, such as tuberculosis
- Having a family or personal history of lung cancer
- Being exposed to certain air pollutants
- Being exposed to coal dust
- Radiation therapy that was used to treat other cancers
- HIV infection
Symptoms may include:
- A cough that doesn't go away and worsens over time
- Constant chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness
- Repeated problems with pneumonia or bronchitis
- Swelling of the neck and face
- Loss of appetite or weight loss
- Fatigue
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The doctor will also ask about:
- Smoking history
- Substances that you have been exposed to
- Family history of cancer
Tests may include:
- Chest x-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body
- Sputum cytology—a test that examines of a sample of mucus from the lungs
- Spiral CT—a special type of x-ray of the lungs
- Biopsy —removal of a sample of lung tissue to be tested for cancer cells.
- Positron emission tomography scan ( PET scan )—an image created using a tiny amount of radiation that is put into the body
- PET/CT scan—a type of imaging test that combines PET and CT scan techniques
- Bone scan —a test that detects areas of increased or decreased bone activity
Once lung cancer is found, staging tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread. The goal of treatment is to eliminate the cancer and/or control the symptoms.
Surgery involves removing the tumor and nearby tissue. Lymph nodes may also need to be removed. The type of surgery depends on the location of the tumor, such as:
- Segmental or wedge resection—removal of only a small part of the lung
- Lobectomy —removal of an entire lobe of the lung
- Pneumonectomy—removal of an entire lung
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. This may also be used to relieve symptoms, such as shortness of breath. External radiation is usually used to treat lung cancer. With this treatment, radiation is directed at the tumor from a source outside of the body.
Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. This may be given in many forms, including pill, injection, and via a catheter. Chemotherapy is often used to kill lung cancer cells that have spread to other parts of the body.
Newer Treatments
Researchers continue to study ways to treat lung cancer. The National Cancer Institute considers these potential therapies:
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT)—a type of laser therapy. A chemical is injected into the bloodstream. It is then absorbed by the cells of the body. The chemical rapidly leaves normal cells. It will remain in cancer cells for a longer time. A laser aimed at the cancer activates the chemical. This chemical then kills the cancer cells that have absorbed it. This treatment may also be used to reduce symptoms.
- Cryosurgery—a treatment that freezes and destroys cancer tissue
Other treatments that are being researched include:
- Targeted therapy—involves using medicines or substances to target certain molecules in the cancer cells
- Immunotherapy—involves using medicines or substances made by the body to increase or restore the body's natural defenses against cancer
If you are diagnosed with lung cancer, follow your doctor's instructions .
To reduce your risk of getting lung cancer:
- Do not start smoking. If you smoke, quit .
- Avoid places where people are smoking.
- Test your home for radon gases and asbestos. Have these substances removed if they are in the home.
- Do not work in a place with asbestos.
The American Lung Association and American Cancer Society both suggest that screening for lung cancer with a type of CT scan may be considered if you are a smoker (or former smoker), aged 55-74 years, and have a history of heavy smoking (such as one pack a day for 30 years).

|Anna E. Westberg, 84
|Written by TRF Times
Hibbing - Anna Elisa Westberg, 84 died on Sunday, January 30, 2005, at the Leisure Hills Nursing Home in Hibbing.
Funeral services were held on Thursday, February 3, at United Lutheran Church in Gatzke, with Pastor Jim Field officiating. Casket bearers included D. Eric Westberg, S.

Honorary casket beares included the Gatzke Senior Citizens Group. Interment was held at Moose River Cemetery in Gatzke.
Anna Elisa Westberg, the daughter of the late Emil and Pauline (Wolden) Dahl, was born on March 8, 1920, in Rollis Twp. of Marshall Co., near Gatzke. She attended school and grew to womanhood there, and was baptized and confirmed at the United Lutheran Church in Gatzke. On February 5, 1939, Anna was united in marriage to Evert Westberg in Middle River. They farmed on Randeen Ridge near Evert's home farm until 1941, then moved to a farm in Rollis Twp., near Gatzke and farmed there until 1951. They moved to Hibbing, with their two sons, Duane and Darell. While in Hibbing, two more children were born, Dayle and Dianne. While Evert worked in the mines, Anna worked with Our Savior Lutheran Church in Hibbing in various capacities. They remained in Hibbing until Evert's retirement in 1976. They then moved back to the farm near Gatzke.
Anna was an active member of the United Lutheran Church and in the Ladies Groups, as well as serving as secretary/treasurer and president of the Gatzke Senior Citizens. Anna enjoyed her friendships and quilting and crocheting at Gatzke Seniors. In 2000, they moved to Thief River Falls, and in 2001 to Grygla. Anna resided at the Leisure Hills Nursing Home in Hibbing for a short time. Anna, 84 died Sunday, January 30, 2005, at the Leisure Hills Nursing Home in Hibbing.

Small businesses with well-developed finance teams achieve faster, more sustainable growth for longer and can attract investment to help them develop, says ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
A new report from ACCA – Accountants for small business – says that the SME finance function plays a critical role at different stages of an SME's growth in attracting investment and helping them 'emerge from the shadows'. ACCA says that SMEs need to make themselves ready and in shape to be able to receive finance and that the burden should not be solely on the lender or investor.
Rosana Mirkovic, ACCA head of SME policy, said: 'There is considerable evidence which shows growth is much stronger amongst SMEs with a comprehensive finance function backing them up. The role of the accountant in an SME setting goes well beyond the basics of bookkeeping. Their role is vital at different stages of an SME's development.
'Credit providers, supply chain partners and other stakeholders need a wealth of information from the finance team of an SME. For some investors the information they require changes after investment to focus on other aspects of the business, such as agreed milestones. Finance professionals are central to providing that insight into the business at all stages.
'Day to day financial management is the key to accessing finance. By the time the owner/manager decides to apply for any kind of funding, their chances of getting it are mostly locked in by the way they've run their business to date. Independent research confirms that a well-run finance function staffed with appropriately trained people makes SMEs more credit-worthy and investment-ready, and is a cause, not a consequence of growth. Despite that fact, most SMEs don't take advice before applying for loans; most have no trained staff in charge of their finances; and most don't produce regular management reports.
'While focus has largely been on who won't lend to SMEs, small businesses have a part to play in making themselves finance-ready.'
Complete finance skills
ACCA points to BDRC SME Finance Monitor statistics which show that in the UK, for example, 17.4 per cent of SMEs with regular management reporting, a formal written business plan and financially trained staff grew more than 30 per cent and 10 per cent of those companies had a minimum risk rating. Just 7.5 per cent of SMEs without that financial expertise and support grew 30 per cent and only 2.5 per cent had a minimum risk rating.
Rosana Mirkovic added: 'Our research, and that of others highlighted in our report, points in the same direction – the role of finance professionals is widening and taking on a more business-focused nature, which is of particular importance for SMEs. From their infancy to their eventual growth into something larger and beyond, the role of their finance function changes and adapts to suit the needs of the business. The accountants who help a new start-up get off the ground will play a very different, but equally critical role when that business is in full, sustainable growth mode. It is for this reason that ACCA trains its members to be skilled in a broad range of abilities to make them complete finance professionals.
'Of course, we would always highlight the benefit ACCA accountants bring to any business, but the figures point to a more sure-footing for SMEs who have a rounded finance function behind them. There is clearly a significant difference between the SMEs embracing a comprehensive finance function and those who are less committed to being financially robust in their operations, even after accounting for influences such as business size, age or sector. High-growth firms are most likely to reach their maximum growth rate just three years from registration*, which means that at such an important period of change, having a finance professional on board that can support the business from start to high growth and beyond is clearly important.'
ACCA says that the SMEs have emerged as a key sector for the global economy. SMEs account for half of the world's private sector output and nearly two-thirds (63 per cent) of jobs worldwide, as well as approximately one-third of all developed-country exports. ACCA also reveals that the SME sector is a major employer of finance professionals in its own right. Although only about 13 per cent of ACCA members' careers start in SMEs, 45 per cent of members, including 54 per cent of CFOs, have at some point in their lives worked for an SME.
A new, free guide for small businesses as well as other useful support initiatives have been launched by ACCA aimed at helping SMEs with their finance operations, covering a range of issues, including hiring and training financial staff, outsourcing finance functions, software and systems advice as well as planning for future growth. Other useful support and guidance is also to be made available.
