You might give them a try anyway, just to see what happens.
Unfortunately due to other furnature, etc. it just won't be possible. Bummer town.
Our Surroundbar and 42"G10 is within a Cabinet, SW is just to left of it, with some polk rears behind couch.
The speaker calibration with the Onyko 906 Audyssey MultEQ XT took a couple of tries to match speaker placement/distance, but sounds great now with the Surroundbar (best final calibration was completed in middle of night with our two furnaces off). The addition of rears does provide a effective wrap around of sound. It would also sound thin without a SW.
I also agree that a good set of "B" channel speakers + SW works best with music.
Our living room is 18' deep by 12' wide, cabinet in center of one on the 12' walls. Listening to movies with Surroundbar + SW + rears does provide a very good soundstage for our viewing area. We sit 9' from screen.
Relatives who get to view a movie here are always surprised with the sound stage of the Surroundbar. Works very well for us.
My spouse especially likes the lack of speakers everywhere. But just like the episode of Modern Family last night, she does require some assistance on occasion with the Logitech controller. She laughed her head off last night.
Great pic Infotree....you in the system showcase yet?
Will do that!
A bit more time was spent with the surroundbar. The bar sounds great, but the soundstage feels so lacking, even with 2-channel audio... Any other hints or pro-tips out there to help? Thanks!
Have you calibrated it? Make sure you're not running thin on your front stage levels...center channel especially. I've found it best to boost them. YMMV.
I've read to boost the surrounds, but not the front stage levels. Also, for movies, I do boost the center channel.
Hmmmm...got a couple pics of how you have it physically setup? Just curious.
Yeah, I'll get some pics up this evening. Something just seems odd, and I can't quite figure out the problem. Here is a crude layout of the room: (Listening position is center of the green box)
That's good enough for me. Has it always been off? Are you sure a soundfield isn't engaged on the AVR? Do you use an EQ of any kind?
With my previous crap speakers from some old HTIB, there was a wider soundstage. There is no soundfield engaged on the AVR. No EQ either.
Played more this weekend with different delay/distance settings on the AVR and just cannot get this thing to sing. I know my listening position is not optimal, but I feel that I should be getting at least 180 degrees of sound.
One Polk tech support guy told me that 180° is the best you can expect from the SB42. This past week I was reviewing the SB Instant Home Theater. It did much better, even creating sounds behind my listening position. This is from a two channel system.
This is just a guess, but I can't help thinking that your seating is too close to the back wall. Have you tried sitting closer to the SB?
I wish that i was getting 180°. I know that I should be further from the back wall, but in my space, it is just not possible due to other furniture and the size of my couch.
FWIW, I did demo some Monitor 60's a few months ago, and the sound stage was magnificent in exactly the same setup and listening position.
I have always been intrigued Polk Audio's SurroundBar technology since their first model came out. I have the SurroundBar 42" in my home theater. When a chance to test a SurroundBar Instant Home Theater I jumped at it.
Since the SB IHT can accept any stereo line level input, I thought I would first give it a try as a stereo computer speaker. I first set it in front of my dual Apple Cinema Displays, and connected it up using a Griffin iMic as a USB digital-analog converter. Using an 1/8" mini-jack to RCA stereo pair adaptor cable I plugged the RCA ends into the SB inputs, connected the power cables to the SB and wireless subwoofer. I set the subwoofer on the floor near the corner of my office. Launching iTunes and playing a variety of music it soon became apparent that the SB was too close to my ears (27") and too crowded by other desktop stuff for the SDA effect to fully develop. I got a good spread of soundstage to the right, but it seemed like the printer to the left obstructed the sound. I would like to have been able to tuck the SB under the displays, but it is too tall for that; I would have to buy some articulating monitor arms to make that arrangement work. So my next step was to mount the SB on the wall above the window across from my desk. I made some angled blocks so that I could aim the SB downward 30 degrees towards ear level at my sitting position at my desk. Now 7 feet away and completely unobstructed, the SDA effect was fully developed, spreading out to fill the 12 foot wide space and about 150°. This would have been wonderful except that sound quality suffered from wall mounting. Upper bass or lower mid range notes resonated in this 12' x 10' room in a very unpleasant way. I don't fault the SB for this; I think it is a room effect aggravated by mounting the SB on the wall. My last option was to set the SB on an open shelf behind and above my monitors. This puts the SB-IHT about 36" away and just above ear level. This proved to be just about right; I still get a 150° soundstage spread and the resonance is gone.
I have never had computer speakers before, so I can't compare with others of the type. I can say that sound quality is very clean, stereo imaging is good and the subwoofer, when properly located, provides just the right amount of bass. The only downside of the SDA-IHT for this use is that it will reveal the defects of low bit rate MP3s. Most of my iTunes library is encoded at 320 kbps or in Apple Lossless. I definitely notice the difference on those that are encoded at lower bit rates. I kept this setup for a week and continued to like what I heard.
After a week as a computer speaker I then replaced my SurroundBar 42 with the SB IHT in my home theater rig. My SB42 is mounted on the same pivoting bracket as my 37" Sharp Aquos, positioned above the screen. I have found that I get a wider soundstage if the SB is above most of the surrounding furniture. For over the air HDTV the IHT worked fine and sounds a lot better than the TV's built in speakers. But I was really surprised by its performance as a surround sound speaker. This is, of course, a 2 channel stereo speaker and yet I found that the sound really did wrap around me. One movie, There Will Be Blood, has a pipeline construction scene where hammering noises actually sounded like they came from behind me. This is better than the SB42 ever did. The IHT had plenty of power to fill a 13' x 19' room with sound and the subwoofer, while not thunderous, delivered low end thump that was satisfactory enough. I did miss having a center channel. I like to be able to boost the volume of the center if the other channels overwhelm the dialog.
If I had to choose all over again between the original 42" SurroundBar and the SurroundBar Instant Home Theater I would go for the IHT based on its greater surround stage.

You know who to get the what and enjoy the what what after she gets her what on with the fact you bought the what from the who.
Since my last post, I've spent a ton more time tweaking and playing with the SurroundBAR. Probably unsurprising to you all, the speaker is starting to grow on me.
I replaced my old Sony HTIB receiver with an Onkyo TX-SR507, and the SurroundBAR is starting to shine. I ran Audyssey a few times and tweaked some settings here and there, and BAM, soundstage.
I think my big problem before was paying too much attention to where the sound was coming from on the speaker. Every time I listened to 5.1 tracks, the surround effects sounded un-realistic and very clearly coming from the speaker. Once I stopped paying attention, and just watched movies, I began hearing surround sounds to the side of me. Of course the speaker will never sound the same as a standard 5.1 system, but it's starting to sound really good. In combining the SurroundBAR with the Onkyo AVR Listening Modes (especially the DTS Neo:6 Music mode for music), the soundstage has appeared.
I plan on writing a full review soon, but for me at least, the SurroundBAR took some patience to get right. Thanks all for your continued help and support. I look forward to making the SurroundBAR sound even better in the years to come.
Mini Review:
I installed the SurroundBar 42" for my father, which I bought off of this forum from a friend of mine. My father is technology illiterate, so I spared him all of the features and such and did a basic hook-up so as to not confuse him too much. He likes it now (it took a little while for it to grow on him), but something was always lacking to me. I realize that I had a skewed perception of what to expect being a 5.1 guy for the last ten or so years. Something just missed with this - admittedly it could be that I haven't tweaked it properly or something along those lines.
Well, fast forward. After The IHT demo, I hooked the 50 up to my father-in-laws rig. Let me tell you something, this thing can really sound good. He has an entry level Yamaha AVR and no blu-ray. But the sound in his room (which is a perfect application for the surroundbar) was GREAT. The fit and finish of the 50 really blends well with teh television and components. It filled his room and was a much better "filler" that the 42" in my dads room. Whoever expects the 360 sound from this and to truly mimick a 5.1 set-up will be disappointed I think. In order to get the true demo you have to use a subwoofer. You can use it without one, but bass washes out other sounds from this speaker if you do not have a sub. But if you go into this with a realistic appreciation of what to expect from one speaker, you will be impressed. Surprisingly, he preferred the IHT set-up mostly because of its ease of hookup and use, as well as the subwoofer component for the IHT. However he admitted that he would choose the IHT because of price and convenience vs. the much better sound of the 50.
I was actually looking to put together a small rig for the bedroom or the kids playroom. After this demo, i have completely changed my mind. When I am ready to set it up and when funds allow the 50" will be on my short list of rigs to get for these applications.
I am trying to use the 360 surround bar with an analog tv, about an 8 yr old picture in picture sony tv without much success. I can get sound from the Polk player, cds and dvds, but no sound from the tv or picture from the player on the tv. I've tried to do what the guide books says but nothing seems to work. Anybody have any suggestions. I'm a novice at this stuff and when I read all the letter abbreviations I have no idea what people are talking about. This tv does have a place for an s Video cable and I plan to buy the cable and check that out. What does the "s" stand for, Super?http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/images/icons/icon4.gif
I am new to this site, hope I put this reply in the right place.
I purchased the IHT about 2 months ago. My living room is L-shaped and not all that tv friendly. Basically no room for tower speakers and I was not intereseted in running wires/drilling holes for rears. It took longer to take it out of the box than to hook it up. I was very dissappointed with the speakers until I adjusted the gain switch on the back of the sound bar. WOW that made these spekars come to life. I have it on the highest setting and there is absolutely zero distortion. Crystal clear sound. I have the the bass box set at a very low setting and it sounds amazing. The soundbar is hooked up to my cable box, not to my 42 inch LG. Not sure if that makes a difference or not.
I have not watched a DVD on these speakers yet, so I am only basing this on digital cable. Some cable channels sound great, others are somewhat muffled. There is definitely a difference from one channel to the next. ESPN seems to have the best sound quality.
Do not expect these speakers to take the place of a set of towers. For what they were designed for they do an incredible job. I can't imagine anyone being dissappointed with this soundbar. They were a little pricey compared to others, but what is 100 bucks spread over a few years? I ordered from crutchfield, they were an open box item so I saved $50. You can return them no questions asked if you don't like them, so what do you have to lose?
Would anybody like to offer any opinions on the sound of a SurroundBar SDA Instant Home Theater vs. that of a SurroundBar 360?
Also, how about the same except what if a PSW111 sub was combined with the SurroundBar 360?
Thanks in advance!
I just purchased a Surroundbar 50 and a PSW111 sub. The soundbar is being connected to a Harman Kardon AVR-254. I am trying to figure out which sub mode I should use:
1. L/R+LFE which sends all low frequency information to the sub OR
2. LFE which sends low frequency information in the left and right channels to the front speakers and directs only the LFE channel information to the sub.
I think #1 is the better option, but I just wanted to make sure.
Is it possible to use the SurroundBar 360 without the DVD console? I don't have it, just the speaker. I ohmed out the pin-outs (8-pins) and I get:
Pin 1-2: 1.2 ohms
Pin 3-4: ~8 ohms
Pin 5-6: ~8 ohms
Pin 7-8: ~8 ohms
And all other measurements are open circuit (i.e. between Pin 1-4 or 1-7)
So I'm guessing the pin-pairs 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 are 8-ohm speaker connections (left, center, right)? I don't have a clue what Pins 1-2 are for.
Can anyone shed some light?
Good luck!
Thanks, I will run a test tone through each pair this weekend and see what happens.
Another question: I have a IHT SurroundBar but no power supply. The back requires 24V, 2.7A input. Does anyone know where I can get a fairly cheap power supply that would work with the SurroundBar? Any idea what size connector it needs?
I tested the 8-pin connection with a 9-volt as well as my amp and I got the following:
Pin 1-2: no sound, had to REALLY crank the amp up to hear the sound out of speakers 1 and 2 and gome a bit of distortion along with it.
Pin 3-4: sound out of speakers 3-4
Pin 5-6: sound out of speakers 5-6
Pin 7-8: sound out of speakers 7-8
seems like the pins are direct inputs to paired speakers.
I have a hunch that speakers 1-2 (and pins 1-2) are toasted. What could cause the impedance of the speakers to go from 8ohms to ~1.2ohms?

Resolutions are to
Lose weight
Continue to do my regular excercise
And, since there is a thread somewhere talking about how people accumulate stuff because they haven't moved in years - that's me! I want to figure out how to clean things out without getting overwhelmed by doing a little bit every day. This is my most difficult promise to myself.
I'm sure I should include more lofty goals too, but I will be too tired!!
Mine are:
Stop sweating the small stuff.
Get the financial paperwork in order and KEEP IT that way.
Get rid of junk in the house (thanks, Lizzibeth)
Lower my golf handicap.
AceOn6, the golf loving skating fan
Mine are:
1) To not become a Groomzilla for my upcoming wedding
2) To lose 30 more pounds by June
3) To go see more live music concerts this year than last
4) To read more books that I want to read
5) To finish paying off my car early

I'm getting down to my optimal weight this year, which is around 115 or so.
I'm taking a Zumba fitness class this semester which should really help out and I've already changed my eating habits to cut out a lot of the processed foods. I do have a weakness for Starburst, so I have make sure I don't overindulge in them.
That's all I've really got for now.
I finally got a copy of the P90X so my goal is to finish it! I haven't started yet, am waiting for the 1st to come, but once I start I must finish.
I want to get all A's and B's in school this year and hopefully, if it works out, I can graduate in December!
Get a good job to work while I finish school.

I don't do New Year's Resolutions and here's why:
I do have some ongoing goals and at some point I'll make some goals for the triathlon season, but I want to get healed first.
Actual bumper sticker series: Jesus is my co-pilot. Satan is my financial advisor. Budha is my therapist. L. Ron Hubbard owes me $50.
As for my resolutions.
1. Go through my files and organize them!
2. Exercise more
3. Get pregnant (we're having difficulties, so it's not as easy as just having good timing)
I love p90X! Great workouts for muscle building and general cross-training!
My new year's resolution is to do ten unassisted pullups (no rest between reps) by the end of the year. I'm a girl, so unassisted pull-ups have been a challenge. I did my first unassisted pull-up about two months ago, then fell on the sidewalk and broke my wrist a few days later.
1. drink more
2. watch more cat videos on youtube
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
I would like to lose the few pounds I have gained from excessive holiday eating...

If Cubbins' actions increased the odds of that happening from 98% to 99%, then the expected value he's added to the Jetstone Cause is 1% of infinity, which is infinity. From an optimizer's perspective, Cubbins is justified if the cost of his action- his life and everything he might hope to accomplish in it- is less than the expected value, which is zero from his perspective, and infinite from Jetstone's.
Min-max 4 life, yo.
Aaaarghhhh. Whatever the take everyone has on whether Cubbins did the tactical right thing, I cannot resist pointing out that the above is wrong.
IF we assign infinity to the value of the King's survival, then 98% odds of survival and 99% odds of survival both bring infinite expected value. So does 1% chance of survival, for that matter. So expected value is not enough.
First off... abstract all you like and this is (I agree) a silly argument, but if the question is how much better is 99% of infinity than 98% of infinity, then you would want the difference between the two. This would simplify to infinity*(0.99-0.98). This is infinitely better! Though I have to admit that I don't know my properties of infinity all that well... it might be that no two infinities are the same, in which case you couldn't simplify using the distributive identity. Either way, if the kings survival is the only outcome that is important to you, then you would want to do whatever you could to make sure the king survives.
Secondly... the least defensible portion of Fishy's argument IMO was the unquoted portion:
Fishy wrote:Coming at it from the other angle, remember the stakes. The king has no heir, and he's about to go into direct combat. If the king croaks in that engagement, the side ends.
That means Cubbins dies. The Prince dies. Cubbins' best friend Ace dies. The archers in the tower die. People Cubbins have never met die. People in cities Cubbins has never seen die. Everything that Jetstone was, and is, and could have been dies.
We don't know that JS has no heir (Ossomer may or may not be heir again) AND the kings death only causes the death of all field units. All units still in the city hex become neutral... it is arguable that this is tantamount to death... but that would be a difficult argument to make with Wanda out of the hex.

Every year we get the K-9 Veterans Day into the "RED ZONE" but, we just can't seem to take it across the finish line for the "Touch Down."
Congressman Gary Peters (D-MI) came pretty close with HR 740 designating March 13 as K-9 Veterans Day but, the 112th U. S. Congress is not in session because of the presidential election and will end on Jan. 3, 17 days before the end of the presidential term.
The likelihood of HR 740 going across the goal line is pretty slim.
So, I am asking you to go to your local, state, and federal
Legislatures and obtain Proclamations from them, designating March 13 As K-9 Veterans Day.
Then perhaps the 113th U.S. Congress that scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C. from January 3 to Jan. 3, 2015 might take it across the "Goal Line."
Here is my proposed proclamation for you to use:
I, of do hereby proclaim
March 13, 2013

Nice Pirate Hat! -
spdbugy, FL
Very nice hat for the price. There is a problem with the velcro that is supposed to hold the sides up. The glue on the velcro doesn't stick to the hat so I put a stitch in each side where the velcro was and that fixed it. Also, the fit is very large so I purchased some weather stripping foam to stick inside for a better fit.
Nice hat! -
bulbous, Northeast
The hat itself is very sturdy. The only problem was that the velcro that was supposed to keep the corners up fell off before I took it out of the box leaving three glue stains. The hat still looks good and a good price.

Proposition 14
Posted by Bruce Robinson in politics , news , media , legislation , government , election , current events , California
Primary elections in California would be dramatically different if voters approve Proposition 14 in this year's June 8 primary.
Backers of Prop 14, led by Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado and Gov. Schwartzenegger (together at left) , say it will create more opportunities for moderate candidates from the two major parties to advance through the primary and on to the general election. No on 14 spokesman Dave Gilliard counters that this has not happened in the other stated with similar laws in place.
Another flaw in the initiative, according to Dave Gilliard, is that it would no longer require candidates in the primaries to be identified by their party affiliation on the ballot.
Jeanine English of the California AARP, a supporter of Proposition 14, counters that each primary candidate's voter registration history, going back ten years, will be posted on the Secretary of State's website. And she adds, the open primary is expected to boost voter participation in those contests.
Another earlier attempt to reform the California Primary election process, Proposition 62, was quite different from Proposition 14 in the way it addressed third party candidates, notes Stop Top Two campaign leader Christina Tobin.
Read the SF Chronicle's analysis of Prop 14 here.

We're giving away ANOTHER free iPhone 5 to ANOTHER lucky iMore reader!
That's right! FREE. No strings attached. All you have to do is be a registered member of iMore and leave a comment below. You have one week to get your entry in, so get to it! We will announce the lucky winner next week here on the blogs.
The rules: One comment per person. If we find you trying to cheat and enter multiple times, you will be disqualified. The contest is open worldwide, so anyone can enter. And the prize is just the phone, any contract and accessories are the responsibility of the winner. Good luck!

It would be an honour receiving a device as technologically advanced as the iPhone 5 and as someone who has never been able to afford any Apple products but have watched every Apple launch event and I truly belive that Steve Jobs was and still is a revolutionary genious! Also don't forget about Sir Jonathan Ive a legend himself! :P
I really want to win this IPhone 5. It would be a exactly what I am looking for. My present phone is no longer working!!!!! Please, make me a winner!

Rating: 4.00 out of 1 votes cast
very nice pants
The quality and feel of the fabric is even better than I thought it would be. I get lots of complements of the pants. One hint: they are a little tight through the thighs. I am in between sizes and went with the larger size. I am glad I did.

Laguna Phuket's Tri-Fest carnival, which will see hundreds of international athletes from descend on the island for the legendary Laguna Phuket Triathlon on 25 November and iconic Ironman 70.3 Laguna Phuket a week later on 2 December, was previewed for media by organisers and sponsors in a special conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand in Bangkok.
The multi-media event showcased some of the elite triathlon stars set to compete in both races and thrill spectators, who each year throng to see the action in the spectacular swim, bike and run courses around the resort.
This year's Ironman 70.3 field is headed by the hottest name in international triathlon - Leanda Cave of Great Britain, newly-crowned 2012 Ironman and Ironman 70.3 triathlon double World Champion and only the second-ever triathlete to achieve this feat in the same year.
Laguna Phuket Triathlon and Ironman 70.3 Laguna Phuket are linked by a Tri-Fest of training and social activities at Laguna Phuket during the week between the two Sunday races.
The Bangkok conference was addressed by Phuket Vice Governor Dr. Sommai Preejasilpa and also by sponsor representatives Soodrak Chanyavongs, Manager of Promotions Department, Thai Airways International; and Sukrudee Pongpanwattana, Vice President, Creative & Communications Division, King Power International.
Thai Airways International is providing travelling athletes with a 15k baggage upgrade for bikes and each athlete race bag will contain a King Power duty free discount voucher.

Just sayin'.

Clonely's acting emotionally, though, and trying to atone for all his regrets in his final day. He regrets not giving Ace a chance to shine on his own instead of attempting to shoehorn him into his previous notion of what a dollamancer is. His main concern is the preservation of the side. Having assured that, he's free to make decisions to satisfy his own desires, and he honestly isn't looking past the end of the turn. I doubt most rulers would assume that the kingdom would stand or fall based on a single unit, even a caster, so he indulges himself and lets Ace come with.name lips wrote:Yes, they really should have... I'm surprised he allowed Ace to join the offensive. Sure, he has a strong attachment to Cubbins and wants to rescue him, but if the city is going to fall anyway, that's not just one caster but TWO that the opponent might capture.

Ack, thanks for the correction. Still, 1500 seems like a lot of troops vs. what Parson will have in the dungeon/portal room. Plus as you mention, I don't think 1500 includes the cloth golems, and now they have Ace's bonus and healing too.
Well, Parson will have some dwagons, but not if L. Sylvia sets everything on fire.
gameboy1234 wrote:Hmm, yes and fire can't be good for cloth golems. I guess this means that Charlie does have some sort of surprise. But he'll likely need help from ground forces, since he can't land (or use attacks) off-turn.
Lamech wrote:Actually we can estimate Parson's forces by simple subtraction. We see here that there are 6000ish members of Jetstone out in the field. Now the city has 1500, minus whatever was headed out of the city. All units that had been croaked before Wanda left had been decrypted. The only other forces that croaked were Artemis's knights, the sentries (which weren't in the 6000 to start) and the peeps in the tower (most who I suspect had the brainpower to escape).
Jetstone is currently outnumbered 3 (minusa little in the tower) to 1 and may not even have better leadership. Those cloth golems are nice, but GK has dwagons. Which is better being tough and having lots of health, or being tough, having lots of health setting the whole place on fire, blasting through walls and gassing entire stacks.
It occurs to me that there is going to be fire in the way of getting into the garrison now.
Yes, but they both mitigated some of those losses by decrypting formerly live GK units, and they gained some former JS units as well. They gained a pile of units whilst taking the portal room (if that was the classic combat where each panel the front rank of the JS side would be the front rank of the GK side in the next panel), plus Archer and who knows how many other former JS forces in the courtyard. Hell, Artimis was eligible for decrypting as well, although I'd expect a warlord's decryption to be on-panel.effataigus wrote:Looks to me like you're assuming that GK had zero losses in all that killin. We know they lost some to the courtyard battle, the dungeon invasion, and Artemis' strike.
Agreed and agreed. My gut feel is that GK is still outnumbered, and really needs Wanda there for decrypting. As for the fire? Well, we shall see. It could help GK or it could help Jetstone. Being pinned under rubble isn't a very advantageous place to be when the house is on fire...effataigus wrote:I'm not sure what the relative forces are, but looks to me that GK is outnumbered in the recent update, even if you credit in the pockets of troops we can't see. Anyway, we can probably agree that the big factors here are whether Wanda is around to reanimate and exactly what will happen as a result of Syliva's "plan."
That's an interesting point you raise. Would a doll be shackled? Would a siege engine? Would a dwagon or unipegitaur or spidew or bat or megalogwiff?gameboy1234 wrote:Plus as you mention, I don't think 1500 includes the cloth golems [...]

Misha Ge: Since I was a kid, I followed my parents to so many different countries. They've been invited to work with many national skating teams of different countries. When people ask me, "Misha, where are you from?" it's always hard for me to answer.
I was born in Moscow, then traveled between Russia and China until I was 10. After that, I moved to China and lived there about eight years, including such places as Hong Kong and Taiwan. After that, I lived in Uzbekistan for a while and then moved to the United States, where I've lived for the last three years. It's hard to explain all those things to people, so I'm just saying, "I'm from Earth."

View AJAX and the Future of Web Applications Demo: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/quickstart/
Chapter 2: Client-Side Techniques with Smarter JavaScript will guide you through the technologies you"ll use to build AJAX web clients, using JavaScript, DOM, the XMLHttpRequest object, and XML. While not being a complete tutorial for these technologies, you"ll be taken to the right track of using them together to build a solid foundation for your future applications.
Chapter 3: Server-Side Techniques with PHP and MySQL completes the theory foundation by presenting how to create smart servers to interact with your AJAX client. You"ll learn various techniques for implementing common tasks, including handling security and error handling problems.
Chapter 4: AJAX Form Validation guides you through creating a responsive, modern form with real-time validation based on server data. View AJAX Form Validation Demo: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/validate/
Chapter 5: AJAX Chat presents a simple online chat that works exclusively using AJAX code, without Java applets, Flash code, or other specialized library, as most chat applications work these days. Chapter 5 has now been updated to cover JSON. You can read the chapter in full, for free, here: www.PacktPub.com/files/Ajax_Chat_and_JSON.pdf [PDF - 1 MB]
View AJAX Chat Demo: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/chat/
Chapter 6: AJAX Suggest and Autocomplete builds a Google-suggest like feature, that helps you find PHP functions, and forward you to the official help page for the chosen function. View AJAX Suggest and Autocomplete demo: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/suggest/
Chapter 7: SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a text-based graphics language that can be used to draw shapes and text. (SVG is supported natively by Firefox 1.5, and requires a SVG plugin with other browsers). In this case study you learn how to implement a realtime charting solution with AJAX and SVG. View SVG Demo here: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/svg_chart/
Chapter 8: AJAX Grid teaches you how to build powerful updatable data grid. You"ll learn how to parse XML documents using XSLT to generate the looks of your grid. View AJAX Grid Demo here: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/grid/
Chapter 9: AJAX RSS Reader uses the SimpleXML PHP library, XML and XSLT, to build a simple RSS aggregator. View AJAX RSS Reader Demo here: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/ajax/rss_reader/
Chapter 10: AJAX Drag and Drop is a demonstration of using the script.aculo.us framework to build a simple list of elements with drag&drop functionality.
Appendix A: Configuring Your Working Environment teaches you how to install and configure the required software: Apache, PHP, MySQL, phpMyAdmin.
In Detail
Assuming a basic knowledge of PHP, XML, JavaScript and MySQL, this book will help you understand how the heart of AJAX beats and how the constituent technologies work together. After teaching the foundations, the book will walk you through numerous real-world case studies covering tasks you'll be likely to need for your own applications:
- Server-enabled form-validation page
- Online chat collaboration tool
- Customized type-ahead text entry solution
- Real-time charting using SVG
- Database-enabled, editable and customizable data grid
- RSS aggregator application
- A server-managed sortable list with drag&drop support using the script.aculo.us JavaScript toolkit
The appendices guide you through installing your working environment, using powerful tools that enable debugging, improving, and profiling your code, working with XSLT and XPath.
From the Author, Cristian Darie
"AJAX and PHP: Building Responsive Web Applications is mainly a book for beginners, but when designing its contents we tried to find the ideal blend of topics that would help both novice and experienced web developers make a big step forward. One customer was very kind to let us know, through a review, that we succeeded:
"The theory behind all the technologies used is very clearly explained, without boring you with details about obvious things. Right from the first chapter you start learning by examples. The examples can be easily adapted to many web projects and they cover stuff that is both useful and fun."
Here are a few examples of such "useful and fun" things that you can find in this book:
- details on using proxy scripts to work around the security measures in modern browsers
- client-side and server-side code that doesn't break when fed with special characters (such as <, ", etc)
- code that works efficiently with Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and others
- a very quick introduction to SVG, the new rebel kid of the web (and of the house)
- client-server communication based on message queues that guarantee that your messages aren't lost on the way, and arrive in the intended order at the destination
- server-side state management techniques that use query string parameters and database records to keep track of your client's activity
- simple yet effective error-handling structures that combine JavaScript code and PHP code to report when something bad happens on the client or on the server
- a live errata page that is updated as soon as anyone reports a suggestion or a correction
- a friendly AJAX tutorial and many case studies that teach you how to use JavaScript, PHP, MySQL and XML together in order to achieve wonderful results
The book's authors and the publisher are listening to your feedback, and appreciate when you invest some time to let them know what you think. The first result of this collaboration is an updated version of the AJAX Chat case study that uses (and teaches) JSON instead of XML. Find this new chapter in the code download or on my website.
Thanks for reading such a long message. Have fun!" Cristian Darie.
AJAX and PHP: Building Responsive Web Applications is the most practical and efficient resource a reader can get to enter the exciting world of AJAX. This book will teach you how to create faster, lighter, better web applications by using the AJAX ingredients technologies to their full potential.
View demos of the case studies in this book here: http://ajaxphp.packtpub.com/
UPDATE: Following suggestions from customers, Packt has updated AJAX and PHP: Building Responsive Web Applications to now cover JSON, a document format that can be used as an alternative to XML. Chapter 5, the AJAX Chat Case Study, now introduces JSON theory and also uses JSON instead of XML in the code.
The updated chapter is free and can be downloaded from: www.PacktPub.com/files/AJAX-Chat-and-JSON.pdf [1 MB]

I've been doing a lot of searching but can't seem to find a solid answer.
I'm planning on going active with my sr6500's next weekend.
I was wondering how much power I can safely send to each woofer and tweeter individually. I'll be using an oscilloscope, multimeter, and 1khz test tone to set my gains. I will be powering them with a Zapco DC reference 1000.4 amp so it can put out about 150 watts per channel at 4 ohms. I know that's very high, so I would like to know much I'll need to detune them so I don't melt anything. I will start my crossover at around 4khz -12db/

shneekeythelost wrote:Twenty Eight Archons. Holy boop... that was about as many archons as was necessary to take over GK before everything blew up. So, just in air forces, Stanley now has enough to take over a heavily reinforced capital city with one of the highest defense ratings in ErfWorld. NOT counting the Dwagons.
Rebuild GK's army to a size sufficient to take over the world? Check.
Anton Gaist wrote:Stanley is... afraid of Wanda?
That certainly seems to be, from his reaction, the show of bravado and jealousy... that's almost textbook behavior when someone is afraid.
That's actually pretty smart coming from him. Whether or not Wanda plans to betray him (and I think not), she is the most dangerous unit in GK right now.
HandofShadows wrote:
Parson is the most dangerouse by a long shot (as he can break the rules and has non thinkomany (real personal) loyalty of the casters and Ansom). But Stanley does not know that. Stanely has always shown signs of paraoinia (after the battle at the donute he said something to the effect of I don't know if you failed me or betrayed me). Now that Stanley is NOT so special (there is another Arkentool wileder in GK) that is arguably more powerful (and face it a heck of a lot smarter and deviouse) he is scrambling to prove that he is top dog. In fact at some point in the future I really expect Stanely to try to do something to cut down Wanda's power and maybe even try to croak her.

So I know that the 11TL's have the SL300 stock tweeter, as well as 2 6510 6 1/2 drivers (which you can get replacements for from Polk) but I was wondering if anyone knew the driver numbers for each of the 8" passive woofers. Also are the current Polk 6510's as good as the originals?
I am going to try and snag a couple extras of all the drivers sans tweets as these babies wont be going anywhere anytime soon and I want to make sure I have some spares lying around eventually.
Also if anyone knows the going rate for the 6510's, each 8" woofer that would be great to know for reference, so I can be on the lookout for deals. Also IIRC the RDO's I can use are the 1944's correct?

Standing before an audience of local, state and federal officials, Vice President Joe Biden delivered a stirring keynote address at a conference on gun violence that included family members of the 26 victims of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"My heart goes out to you," Biden said, noting that he met with several family members of the victims directly before his address and intended to meet with more afterwards. "I deeply, deeply admire your courage. This is not easy for you… to just be in this room."
The vice president, who served as the main speaker during a gun violence forum at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury on Thursday, Feb. 21, spoke about how he never had the courage that Newtown families had.
Having lost a daughter and wife in a car accident over three decades ago, Biden said he didn't have the courage to do what these Newtown parents who lost their own children on Dec. 14 are doing — facing the tragedy.
"We can't remain silent," Biden said, his voice growing more audible throughout the WestConn community center, a handful of miles away from Sandy Hook Elementary School.
"We have to speak for all of those voices. We have to speak for those 20 beautiful children who died 65 days ago. We have to speak for those six adults who died protecting them," he said.
From there, the discussion turned to legislation and initiatives the federal government could take to help reduce gun violence, including implanting universal background checks, federal gun trafficking statutes and banning high-capacity magazines.
Biden said that lawmakers need to show political courage in enacting sensible gun reforms and taking on the a "third rail of politics."
"People say and you read and people write about the political risks (of gun control) and why they're unacceptable to take on," Biden said. "I say it's unacceptable not to take this on…and I say to my colleagues who will watch this and listen to this, I say to you if you're concerned about your political survival you should be concerned about the survival of our children."
"America has changed on this issue," Biden said. "We all know the American people are with us…you all should know there's a moral price to pay for inaction."
Biden said a ban on assault weapons had nothing to do with the Second Amendment, and there was no way to argue that a weapon like the AR-15 - one of the guns that Adam Lanza used in the Newtown shootings - was intended for self-defense or recreation.
"They say assault weapons like the AR-15 are needed for self-protection and recreation," he said. "They are not. There's plenty of ways you can protect yourself and recreate without an AR-15."
Here are the gun control measures Biden said that he and President Barack Obama support:
- Universal background checks: Every buyer needs to be vetted for the purchase of a firearm, as Biden said that 46 percent of guns purchased now don't require background checks.
- Improved records to allow states to track felons: There is no national database tracking those who served jail time or are not permitted to possess firearms. Biden suggested instituting such a system so that if a convicted felon from Montana tries to buy a gun in Connecticut, that person's felony status will come up during the purchasing process.
- Eliminating high-capacity magazines that hold 30-100 rounds: Biden said there is "no rational reason why someone would need to carry a 100-round drum like the Aurora shooter carried."
- Federal gun trafficking statutes: "Making sure prosecutors can go after the so-called straw purchases," Biden said.
- Increasing mental health services: Biden said this should especially be for young people between ages 16 and 25, who are "the most vulnerable to mental health problems."
- More sworn law enforcement officers on the streets.
- Studying what effects violent videogames and media has on youth.

This isn't necessarily true. In the movie Return to Oz, the ruby slippers fell off her feet and ended up in the possession of the gnome king. The shoes could be anywhere.
