I am very excited to have scored a pair of Polk SDA 1Cs. They were someone's uncompleted project and were in pieces. The previous owner had a box of 6511, 6510, and 2500 speakers. They had never been opened. The drivers and array speakers had a date of 2000 on them.
One of the speakers was missing the wiring harness for the drivers and array speakers. I checked out the SDA 1C pdf files and in one image it looks like they are wired in series and the other parallel. pdf SDA 1C Rch Wiring.pdf shows black to positive and white to negative. SDA 1C Lch Wiring.pdf (41.0 KB, 1035 views) shows them in series. Which is correct?
I ordered some Dayton caps from Parts express, but am rethinking that. How much of a compromise would I be making with them?
When I first got them I powered them with my Denon 3311 AV reciever (125 watts per), but had a Yamaha MX-600 (135 watts per) laying around. They sounded better with the Yamaha. In a weak moment I bought a Yamaha MX-1 CX-1 amp preamp combo. (I may as well spend what is left of my hearing in style). Since the speakers are "new' do I need to worry about breaking them in?

Damn iPhone.
Let me try that again!!!!
My Car of 10 years died two nights ago. The front tire cracked off!
I just left the dealership. Bought a Brand New 2013 Nissan Leaf
Just rode it one mile and getting food. Been in the dealership since 9:30am. Getting some dinner. Will post pics tonight.
Nothing nicer than a new ride nissian makes a good car the wife has a 2011 Rouge and she just loves it. Your a pretty big dude from the pics of you standing in front of your SDA's I'am wondering if you will have enough leg room. Congrats on the new purchase. I'am 6'4 210lbs and barley fit in the Rouge.

2003 Hyundai Elantra GT hatchback. 155,000 miles. Served me well. Worst part all 4 tires are 3 months old :(
Right now 120. There are a lot of companies making the Level 2 charger so I don't have to buy the $2000 one from Nissan. GE makes one that gets great reviews and costs $850
My next door neighbor is an Electrician with 30 years experience and he helps me with every electrical issue/upgrade for my house.
I might see if his company can get the GE charger at a wholesale price.
Jephdood nice pic! LOL.
Well...a car that works is better than a car that doesn't!
But - I HATE the thought of car payments....
Congrats - enjoy that new car smell!
H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.
The older Hyundai's were not well built. I wouldn't buy anything older than 07/08 from them.
Congrats on the new ride! Can it haul 1.2TL's? If not, you bought the wrong car haha
My Wife's 2010 Sonata is lemon. She wants to get rid of it. The 2003 Hyundai was the best. I don't trust the Hyundai's built after 2008. To me that's when they started building junk.
I had a 2000 Hyundai as well and it was a great car.
Right now the new car is plugged in and charging. The funny thing is that my neighbor next door just bought their daughter her first car and its a Nissan as well!
She came by and I had her start the car and she couldn't believe it. She also wants my 17" wheels. She said they look so hot! LOL
Sorry you had bad luck Sal. But history is history. And I agree, your wife's Sonata is definitely a lemon. I know a friend I see every now and again that has nothing but good things about his. All car companies have issues.
I dont care for the electric cars but to each their own. As long as you like it bud.
In the past 90 days I have reset my daily trip odometer to try to see if I can get by with a Leaf. for 80 of the 90 days I used 51 miles or less per day. 3 Days I used 71 to 74 miles and 3 days I used over 100 miles in one day.
The Days when I need to use the Car for 100 miles or more I will be using my wife's car or Park my car and use public transportation the rest of the day and then use the car to just get home.
I'll have to plan out my routes now but that's OK since I won't be buying $3000 in gas anymore every year.

Here are some pics:
Charging last night in my driveway:
Charging done this morning:
You know what's funny, Sal? Jesse and I were just talking about you and your car the day before you purchased this new one. Apparently, you do not mind smaller cars. For such a big guy I find this surprising. I'm smaller than you and sometimes I wish my Chevy 2500HD pickup truck was bigger. Congrat's on the new car, nonetheless.
In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.
Thanks. I fit. I like the concept of not paying $3000 in gas in the next 12 months.
I like the concept of making gas cheaper to begin with.
Congrats on the new car.
Congrats on your new ride, if you're happy with it that's all the matters. I see you live out east, a smaller vehicle definitely "fits" better most places over there...
What I would really like to know, and I haven't done any reading into the Leaf, the Volt and other electric cars, is how the hell do you get heat in -35 celsius winter!?!?!?!? Will it even drive through a snow storm?
Hey Lazareth,
New ride looks great, I actually just bought a 2002 Elantra GT as my "new" winter car. The lower control arm was a recall issue on those cars, in fact mine is going in to the dealer Tuesday to have both replaced for free. Hopefully they won't fail before then!
This is pretty funny regarding electric cars...
In NJ there is no sales Tax on EVs (electric vehicle). That saved me $2800
The Fed is giving $7500 off my taxes in 2013 as well.
The car was $36,160.00 I haggled them down to $34000.00 and so that's what I am financing. Zero down 4.99%
The car is listed under my business so it becomes a write-off
For me it's just a win win situation.
Actually I'm at a client now in Brooklyn that I could not get to on Friday and I guesstimated I would have 68 miles remaining when I get here but I have 70.
When I approached the Holland Tunnel from the NJ side there's a very big hill. At the top of the Hill i had 75 miles remaining. In the middle of the tunnel I had 78.
I gained 3 miles because if the hill. Pretty damn cool.
The cost of the eleltricity should be around $750 for the year. I used to pay $3000 a year in gas. Still a win win situtation.
For me it should work out pretty good. For others it may not. Very Hot or Cold area will have Diminished battery life.
As per the minus 30 dsgrees question. I've never seen minus 30 degrees in NJ. I've seen -20 once in like 1983.
The car's computer can be programmed to turn on 30 mins before you leave for work to turn on the heat and the heated seats.
Then when you unplug it the car is warm and your battery still have 100% of its range.
Vice versa applies for the summertime with air conditioning.
I will keep updating this thread.
You really need to plan out your time and trip.
Like today. I need to get back home and plug it in before 10pm or I won't have enough battery for my clients tomorrow!
Mainly because I only have the 120V charger right now that takes 16 hours to charge the battery from dead to full.
I'm getting a 240V charger that will charge the car in 4 hours. That gives me more flexibility.
Interesting. Both your comments Sal and the video on that ZENN car.

There's no place like home. Amid my first few weeks living in Western North Carolina, there were times I got homesick. Though I have bounced around the country for many years now, I, too, have moments where I start to miss things familiar to me.

Peter has stepped down from this post, as mentioned earlier. He said he feels his religious beliefs have taken center stage, and that his presence has become a detriment:
And he's right - the attention was being placed on his beliefs, rather than on the work he was supposed to be doing in this role. It's best for him to step aside.

EmerginC Customer ReviewsHeavy Moisturizer - 4/19/2014 8:56:50 AM I have combo/dry skin. This moisturizer was too heavy for me. It left a residue on my face even after washing. I'm returning it. I believe it would be useful in extreme winter conditions like snow skiing.Best hydration product on the market - 3/25/2014 9:05:59 AM I have been using this product for years now. It is the best for dry skin at a reasonable cost.Works well - 3/7/2014 4:00:16 AM I use the cleanser and moisturizer along with the toner. I noticed a differenxe in my skin tone after several weeks of use.Triple Threat Peel - 11/30/2013 8:02:23 AM I first tried this product after a it was used during a facial at Miraval (AZ). It has lots of fruit acids and instantly exfoliates. I follow it with the Emergin C mousse mask. Once a week its a great skin brightening routine.great, light moisturizer - 11/14/2013 8:08:49 PM Had never used or heard of this brand, but I am now hooked. Great product and so lightweight!Great eye mask - 9/11/2013 2:16:43 PM Love this eye mask. Easy to apply, fits on eye area well and easily. Very nice and moisturizing.Fantastic moisturizer - 8/19/2013 10:24:23 AM I was in Chicago for a wedding and the salon we went to carried this line, which I had never heard of. I asked for a sample of this cream as I was in the market to try a new moisturizer. The skin specialist said that they prefer for people to purchase it and try it for at least 30 days, as it takes this long for your skin to show any sort of results/benefits from a product. I was a little hesitant (as I typically only buy products I've previously sampled) but went ahead and purchased it. I am so glad I did! While it feels slightly heavy/greasy on your finger as you take if from the jar, it just melts into your skin and provides the best hydration. The flakes around my mouth and nose that I usually get (from living in a dry climate) are all but gone after using this consistently for 2.5 weeks now. Very happy and am planning on trying other products from this line.So great! - 7/13/2013 7:21:37 AM Tried this for the vitamin c ingredient. Skin has never felt better.Very nice product - 6/29/2013 10:14:52 AM My 50+ skin is still combination so I have to be careful with creams as they usually are too heavy and greasy for my skin. Not this one. A little goes a long way as it melts into my skin instead of sitting on top like others I have tried. And I love the way my skin feels--soft and smooth. I usually reserve creams for night time use, which I do with this one, but I discovered that I can actually use it several times a week in the day and not look saggy and shiny. I love this product. It does improve the texture and overall look of my skin.Great product--if I could get it out of the bottle - 5/5/2013 8:13:05 PM The first time I ordered this product, I thought it was fabulous...so I reordered it. The product itself is great, but the bottle is the worst. It uses a pumping action to deliver the product. After using about 1/4 of the cream, no more would pump out of the bottle. I called customer service and was told that this was a problem they had encountered before. I was told to bang the upside down jar very hard against something 15 or 16 times. So I did, and yes, it worked for about a week. Now it has stopped pumping again, there is still a lot of product in the bottle, but the plastic is so cracked that I am afraid it will shatter if I try to hit it hard again. So...while the product may be great, it doesn't help if you can't get it out of the bottle! I wouldn't buy or recommend it.

vitaliy and elena vasilieva have visualized 'apocalypse in art', a series which builds upon the morbid and wide-sweeping fascination in catastrophe and disaster.
The much anticipated Time Space Existence collateral event at Palazzo Bembo andPalazzo Mora for the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale brought together a diverse group of 100 architects from six continents in an "extraordinary combination." Summoned by the Dutch non-profit Global Arts Affairs Foundation, the exhibitions the architects were asked to produce documents current developments and thoughts in architecture, highlighting fundamental questions by discussing the philosophical concepts of Time, Space and Existence. Featuring well established architects next to lesser known practices, they all share a "dedication to architecture in the broadest sense of their profession."
Since its first participation in a Universal Exhibition (Philadelphia in 1876), Mexico has always delivered an impressive pavilion that captures the imagination. The fundamental theme of Expo Milano 2015 is sustainability, being as much a driving principle for feeding the world's population, as a criteria for architectural design, in terms of eco-friendly materials, ease of construction and dismantling, and fulfilling proposed programs.
The architect Francisco López Guerra Almada, together with Jorge Vallejo and consulting biologist Juan Guzzy, designed the winning proposal of the international competition based on the most typical Mexican food: corn. The designers were inspired a typical food of the Mexican culinary tradition : the corn.

About Death By Architecture
Death By Architecture (DBA) began in 1995 as the personal web page of Mario Cipresso, an undergraduate architecture student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. By 1997 Death By Architecture had become the preeminent site for architecture competition information on the internet. Joining with several other like-minded sites in Europe, DBA was a founding partner of the International Competition Network in 1998.
Enjoying a solid presence on the net since those early days, Death By Architecture needed to grow beyond just one individual to truly realize its potential, to serve its loyal users and to pursue a more meaningful goal. After securing an all too critical grant from the LEF Foundation in northern California, the Los Angeles based interactive media design firm of Garden Digital was approached to begin this first of two phases.
The forthcoming second phase intends to produce an unparalleled catalog of competition information and entries as well as expand Death By Architecture's content and feature set.
Considering sponsoring a design competition? Death By Architecture has over 12 years of experience with the participation, management and promotion of design competitions. We bring valuable and unique insight and resources to the competition process, ensuring your event is a success. For more information on how Death By Architecture can manage your organization's design competition, please contact Mario Cipresso firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note: Although we do make every effort to ensure our competition information is reasonably accurate and complete, it is the responsibility of the competitor to verify all conditions and requirements.
Patrick McLoughlin is one of the two founders of Build Abroad, a volunteer organization that offers architectural and construction services to developing nations. In this article, originally published on Archi-Ninja, McLoughlin shares five reasons why architects should get involved with organizations like his own.
Many architecture firms collaborate with non-government organisations to help in developing nations. A.gor.a Architects for example, are currently designing and building a new health clinic to provide free healthcare to Burmese refugees and migrants. Auburn University Rural Studio works with architects and students to build homes in rural communities while instigating community-action, collaboration, and sustainability.
A number of organisations also facilitate construction volunteering. Architecture for Humanity provides architecture, planning and project management services for disaster reconstruction. Architects without Borders is a global operation to provide ecologically sensitive and culturally appropriate design assistance to communities in need.

As an architect, Norman Foster seems to have an awful lot in common with the late, great Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Foster is renowned for having an astute eye for detail, the ability to integrate all manner of luxurious materials into his designs, and a deep appreciation of the modernist rationale; the philosophies that have culminated in the high-tech movement are firmly rooted in the International Style for which Mies was a flag-bearer. It may come as a surprise, then, that a bubbling undercurrent of opposition accompanied Foster's proposal to build a skyscraper at 610 Lexington Avenue—right next door to Mies' celebrated landmark, the Seagram Building.

Architects and builders all over the world seem to be participating in a fictional rat race to build the very first 3D-printed house. In the past five years we've seen quite some drawings and models of 3D-printed architecture, but only few architects have the printers running until now. In this article we'll compare five of the most prominent 3D-printing initiatives in the world to find out what 3D-printed architecture has in store for the coming years.

The Twilt Tower – twisted and tilted, is a design proposal by Paolo Venturella. The site for the tower is "E.U.R." (Esposizione Universale Roma, in 1942) and is provoked by the "Eurosky tower" by Franco Purini, in author's opinion a strange, box-like residential tower with photovoltaic panels on top, not integrated in overall design at all. That creates a design where the shape does not come out from its function, they state at Paolo Venturella Architects, and this further generates deep idiosyncrasy against this architecture. What they propose is to make it fall down and replace with a similar in the function but radically different in the shape tower.
"GOOD NEWS! We've reached the sixth floor!" Apart from our motley crew of lamps that included an old Nokia cellphone screen, it was absolute darkness. It wasn't really a staircase. That's far too generous a term. More a collection of rusty steel ladders. Later, on our way back down, we timed the descent to the basement. It took 20 minutes, and it probably takes about double that to reach the roof of the tower component of perhaps the world's most spectacular abandoned building: the former Bulgarian Communist Party Headquarters known as Buzludzha.

For small firms, design competitions can often feel like a Catch22 - enter and lose precious time and resources (usually for nothing) or avoid them – at the risk of losing out on the "big break." Now a new class at Harvard's Graduate School of Design takes on just this quandary, as well as the many other practical, theoretical, and moral implications of architectural competitions for the profession.

Im stumped and I need some ideas. I sent my Odyssey Stratos stereo amp in to be converted to Dual Mono last summer. When I received it I connected it to my HT for 16 hour per day burn in, and then back into the big rig. After the conversion it ran warm to hot in the HT which has no SDA speakers.
When I put it back into the main system I connected both SDA cables to the AI-1, which was brand new and just assembled from the group buy conducted by fjross. Everything sounded really good, though there was a little more SDA effect on the right side than the left. I attributed this to the room layout.
From July to January everything worked as it should, and then around mid-January I was playing music one Saturday am and I heard a pop. The left channel stopped working, and when I touched the amp it was hot! So hot I couldnt leave my hand on it. Popped the top and saw two blown fuses, which I replaced. Powered up the amp and the left channel played at about ½ the volume of the right.
Called Klaus at Odyssey and he said send it back and well get it fixed. Also decided to do some more upgrades while he had it: had him swap out the standard power supply caps to the reference grade (a review coming).
Received the amp back Monday, connected it in the usual way using the AI-1 transformer, and things were great for about 45 minutes. I kept checking the amp temp and it was fine at first. Then it slowly began to get warmer. It then became very hot as above, and all of a sudden a loud hum developed from both speakers. Called Klaus and described the situation to him and he was dumbfounded as he had run it for 4-5 days straight to be sure it was working properly. For him the heat sinks/outer case temp never rose above warm.
I checked all my cables (speaker, ICs from linestage to amp, SDA cable) to be sure that there were no shorts and found nothing out of the ordinary. So at Klaus suggestion I powered up only the left channel (right channel off) and played music for 45 minutes: no hum, the music sounded good and the amp stayed cool to the touch. But . . . I thought it odd that I could hear the SDA signal coming out of the non-powered up right channel (is this a key piece of information?). Though the SDA signal is passed by the AI-1 wouldnt the right channel need to be powered up for the SDA mws to make sound?
Repeated above with only the right channel powered up with the same result. Now Im really scratching my head.
On a hunch I removed the AI-1 and left the SDA cable disconnected. Voila! Perfect sound except no SDA effect. Fantastic stereo image, amp ran flawlessly for over two hours at wife driven from room volume. Temp barely warm.
I double checked the connection of the wiring of the AI-1to the BPs and its correct.
I dont want to get rid of the amp and Id like to get the SDA effect back., but I dont know what else to look for, trouble shoot, etc. Any suggestions on how I can proceed, what to check, measure, etc.?
BTW, kudos to Klaus he has been a total gentlemen through all this. I really appreciate good customer service. He was in the process of building a new chassis for me so that when I returned the amp he could convert to mono blocks at no additional cost to me. That is until I discovered that the amp seems fine.

Dubbed "Big Brutus," the enormous power shovel towered 15 stories high and weighed 11 million pounds. Purchased in 1962 from the Bucyrus-Erie Company of Milwaukee, the machine's cost was $6.5 million. To ship the shovel to Cherokee County, 150 railroad cars were needed, and once there it took a year to build. The shovel could move 150 tons of coal in one bite. Brutus is part of the mining legacy in southeastern Kansas.

Oh what a joy it would be to wake up Christmas morning, in my Iron Man (or Bat Man) Onesie. (Yes they make them large enough to fit a 240 pound man). I'd Run down the stairs slipping and sliding from the lack of traction, dive to the floor with elation and joy. I'd reach for the that shiny new device, all wrapped with care.

Might also consider throwing that prize on a new iMac or MBA to get my wife off my new MBP.

I would love to be a proud owner of the new iPad mini, my wife and I are parents to 2 beautiful twin daughters.

Best of luck to everyone else and can't wait for the announcement.

I'm a student and have been working for the last two years doing some part time jobs and so on, but money always seems to come short in times of need and I haven't yet brought myself to spend 600 plus euros on one, though I'd really love it. I'm going on Erasmus next year, so an iPhone would be a great Christmas present for me to get to now the city and the surroundings.

Cheers to you all, good luck!

IPhone 5 for me please! Thanks!
The iPad Mini would make a great addition. I could give it to my 22 month old daughter, so she can watch Barney on Netflix. She knew how to operate an iOS device at 15 months and has taken over my iPad. Thanks iMore for the contribution.

The Washington Post is reporting that President Obama is considering appointing Massachusetts U.S. Sen. John Kerry as the Secretary of Defense. There was speculation Kerry would be the next Secretary of State.
Either way Kerry's move to possibly become a member of Obama's cabinet will open up his current seat. Should he be appointed, a special election would be held to finish out Kerry's term, which expires in 2014.
Conversation from the breakfast table this morning to the morning commute has everyone talking - who will run for Kerry's U.S. Senate seat if he's appointed? Could it be Scott Brown? Or maybe Congressmen Ed Markey or Michael Capuano?
Only time will tell, but we know you're talking about it. So tell us, who do you think will run for Kerry's seat if he's appointed? Let us know in the comments section below.

Family Land Galápagos—Multi-Activities (SEGF)
Looking to give your kids a crash course in exotic wildlife? What better place to visit than "Darwin's test kitchen," the Galápagos? On this multi-activity trip, you'll have the chance to snorkel, hike, kayak, and swim the islands, as well as visit a giant tortoise breeding centre and the Charles Darwin Research Station. Who says learning about nature has to be boring?
Highlights: Encounter incredible wildlife, snorkel and swim with sea turtles and manta rays, kayak at Tortuga Bay, visit the Charles Darwin Research Station, see Giant Tortoises in their natural habitat.
Land Galápagos—Multi-Activities (SEGL)
This ten-day adventure is perfect for those who want to experience the incredible wildlife and scenery of the Galápagos Islands but prefer to sleep on shore – so your time on the water is limited to commuting between islands. Go ashore at the lesser-visited island of Isabela and spend your days with playful sea lions, giant manta rays, and the Galápagos giant tortoise. This adventure offers a great balance of guided excursions and free time – and optional activities abound.
Highlights: Encounter incredible wildlife, snorkel and swim with sea turtles and manta rays, race a bike downhill in San Cristóbal, search for whitetip reef sharks in "Shark Alley", hike the Sierra Negra Volcano, visit the Charles Darwin Research Station

Stop Believing These Myths about Organic Food
Better For Environment
Organics don't contaminate soil and groundwater with pesticides and chemicals like regular farming does, but there's a surprising downside: Since organic farming is only about half as productive as conventional farming, it requires far more land to produce the same amount of food.
Dennis Avery of the Hudson Institute's Center for Global Food Issues estimates that modern high-yield farming has saved 15 million square miles of wildlife habitat, and that if the world switched to organic farming, we'd need to cut down 10 million square miles of forest. Less-productive farming could also lead to even less food for the world's undernourished.
