(NEWSER) – Today's closure of US embassies and consulates has been extended through Saturday for diplomatic posts in 19 cities, the State Department has announced. But, it says in a statement, the extension is not due to a new threat, but "merely an indication of our commitment to exercise caution," in light of the previously reported al-Qaeda threat, reports the AP. The posts that will stay closed are those in Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, amongst others. Other posts, including those in Kabul and Baghdad, will reopen on Monday as planned. Earlier today, politicians from across the political spectrum told Sunday talk shows that today's closure was entirely necessary, due to the serious and very specific nature of the threat.

More pleasant is the wedding, which was my favorite part. If you're a tenderhearted person, be prepared to cry! I ended up crying before Bella even got down the aisle, and that wasn't the only time. "Breaking Dawn" really tugs on your heart throughout the plot. Crying is inevitable as you watch this movie.
There are also some surprise scenes in the movie that were not in the book, which give you a chance to reminisce about the previous movies. I found that interesting because it tied everything together.
Even if you've read the book and know what happens, though, "Breaking Dawn" still keeps you on edge. With a movie like this that has a second part, you don't know where this part is going to end. The suspense was killer.
Unfortunately, when the ending comes, it's kind of disappointing. It wasn't as bad as "New Moon" (which sucked), but it was close. Even in non-"Twilight" movies like "Remember Me," Summit Entertainment has bad endings. I was tempted to write them a letter about this one.
"Remember Me" is another Robert Pattinson movie I've seen, so it's no surprise that I'm a Team Edward girl. As one, I hate to say this, but I actually felt for Jacob in this movie.
He's really torn up trying to protect Bella. He watches her during her mysterious pregnancy. He knows the 'thing' inside of her is killing her, but she can't see it through her motherly love. He's willing to put himself in harm's way to protect her from his pack.
Whether you're Team Edward or Team Jacob, I highly recommend you see this movie if you like "Twilight" at all. Despite its few flaws, this is possibly the best "Twilight Saga" film yet. It will keep you on edge and excited for more!

The Eastern Vol 49, No. 4 MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA October 28, 1968 Non Profit Org. U.S. POSTAGE PAID Permit No. 81 Madison, So. Dak. 2 Democrats, 2 Republicans win Nixon wins GB poll; close contest foreseen Nixon 44.0% Humphrey 38.6% Wallace 17.3% McGovern 80.7% Gubbrud 19.2% Reifel 58.1% Denholm 41.9% Chamberlin 51.9% Farrar 48.0% The results of the 1968 elections came early this year, at least at General Beadle State College. If General Beadle is a representative example of the United States, Richard Nixon will be our next president. The Eastern staff sponsored a pre-election poll which posed the question: "If the elections were held today, who would be the candidate of your choice?" All faculty members and students over 21, representing 34.2% of the student body were included. The presidential choice was Republican Richard Nixon, earning 44.0% of the popular votes. Democrat Hubert Humphrey, a close second, totaled 38.6% and George Wallace, running on the American Independent party ticket received 17.3% of the votes. One write in vote indicated that the voter was dissatisfied with all candidates and cast his vote for the well qualified and nationally know Pat Paulson. A total of 208 ballots were cast; five failed to indicate a choice for the presidential nominee. The state senatorial race between George McGovern and Archie Gubbrud found the democratic candidate winning by a large margin. McGovern won with 80.7% of the votes. GOP candidate Archie Gubbrud trailed with 19.2%. Ballots cast: 203; five not voting. Robert Chamberlain and Frank Farrar ran a close race for the gubernatorial victory. Chamberlain, the Democratic candidate, was declared the victor with 51.9% of the nod. His counterpart polled 48.0% of the votes in his favor. Votes cast: 204; four not voting. The US Representative for the East River District will again be Ben Reifel according to the General Beadle poll. He drew 58.1% of the popular vote, while Democrat Frank Denholm received 41.9%. Votes cast: 203; five not voting. Results signify a bi-partisan election with two Republicans, President Richard Nixon, and Representative Ben Reifel; and two Democrats, Governor Robert Chamberlain, and US Senator George McGovern. Government control in South Dakota could be a "tug-of-war situation" if the General Beadle pre-election results prove to be a representative sampling South Dakota will have to wait until the November 5 election results are official to see what the political future has in store. -o- Seniors to pose by November 10 All seniors are asked to make arrangements for having their senior class picture taken any time from now through November 10. Pictures will be taken at Reetz Studio, downtown Madison. Arrangements can be made by calling 256-2496. The cost of the sitting (4 poses) and print which will be used for the yearbook will be paid for by the TROJAN. Any seniors may order additional prints for their own use. -o- New member to join KSI ranks A speical KSI luncheon was held in the Ernest Teagarden home, Thursday afternoon, October 24, at which time 14 new members were welcomed into the Kappa Sigma Iota organization. KSI is the scholastic society at General Beadle State College. To be eligible for membership, a student must have a B (3.25) average or above. He must display leadership ability on campus and show promise of continuing interest and support in the field of teacher education. Newly selected KSI members include seniors Douglas Austreim, Charlene Jacobson, and Arliss Renner. The seven juniors selected include Joyce Dunn, Marlene Groeneveld, Linda Hanneman, Charlene Heinecke, Randy Hummel, Merle Lewis, and Mary Peterson. Other new members are sophomores Donna Bruhn, Floyd Groce, Darlene Ingalls, and Barbara Williams. The new KSI members were selected by a vote of the returning on-campus members who include Gary Scriver, Connie Stoneback, and LeAnn Tjarks. Connie Stoneback serves as president for the scholastic society and Dr. Ernest Teagarden is the faculty advisor. -o- Bella Manningham, portrayed by Susan Bulfer, threatens her husband, played by Tom Blair, in a tense scene from ANGEL STREET, the forth-coming drama production to be presented in Kennedy Hall Auditorium, 8:00 p.m., November 7, 8, and 9. -o- Angel Street on GBSC stage next week Trying to trap a murderer creates keen action in the dramatic production, ANGEL STREET, which will be performed in Kennedy Hall Auditorium on November 7, 8, and 9 at 8 p.m. It is that dreaded hour of 5 p.m., 1890. Susan Bulfer playing the role of Mrs. Manningham, appears in the living room of her three-story house where she has lived five years, on Angel Street in England. Because she hears strange tapping noises at this hour every day, she fears that she is going crazy. Mrs. Manningham, about 34, once was a beautiful, graceful young lady; but she has become frightened, haggard, and pale. She misplaces things and doesn't realize that she is hiding them. As Mrs. Manningham is alone in the house, strange things begin to happen. The gas lights become very dim. A strange man who says he is a police detective enters and tells her that 15 years ago a woman was murdered in the place where she is standing. Steps leading to the attempted capture of a murderer provides the action for the remainder of the play. Mr. Manningham, played by Tom Blair, is a good-looking, suave and sophisticated man about 45, whose home is his castle. Sue Keith acts the role of a maid, Elizabeth, about 50, who is devoted to Mrs. Manningham and tries to comfort her. Shalley O'Brien plays Nancy, a pretty 19 year old maid with an eye for Mr. Manningham. -o- Twenty-one gain GB Who's Who recognition The 1969 edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges" will carry the names of 21 students from General Beadle State College who have been selected as being among the country's most outstanding campus leaders.

First popularized in the united stated by The Beatles, transcendental mediation is now being used to combat stress in veterans. Shazia Khan filed the following report.
Deployed to Afghanistan in 2009, 34-year-old Luke Jensen says his nearly two-month experience as a military police officer took its toll on his mental health. Once back home in Ohio, things continued to spiral down.
"I had put a gun to my head in front of my wife and children. That's how intense it was," Jensen says. "Everything was setting me off. Punching holes through my walls. Punching holes through doors. My children walking on eggshells around me."
Counseling, various therapies and medications didn't work. But in 2011, Jensen says he got his life back with transcendental meditation.
"I noticed very soon, I started sleeping better, and just that alone was huge," Jensen says.
Jensen shared his story at a recent conference exploring meditation as a means of overcoming posttraumatic stress disorder and preventing suicides in the military.
"You have one veteran committing suicide every hour in the United States," says Bob Roth, executive director of the David Lynch Foundation. "Thirty times more vets commit suicide then die in combat."
The David Lynch Foundation organized the conference. The nonprofit launched Operation Warrior Wellness three years ago to provide veterans, military personnel and their families free training in transcendental meditation.
"What this meditation does is, it provides the body with a very profound state of rest and relaxation," Roth says. "Research shows there is a 50 percent reduction in symptoms of PTSD among meditating veterans."
In addition, a 2012 study by the American Heart Association found regular practice of this age-old, nonreligious technique may lower the risk of death, heart attack and stroke in heart patients.
Jensen strives to mediate twice a day for 20 minutes.
"Our home is a happy home again now, thankfully," he says. "And they do remember it, but they know that there was a happy ending to it."

Anti-trust authorities may open doors for NHLers in Sweden
STOCKHOLM The Swedish Competition Authority gave today an interim decision on the Swedish Elitseriens decision to not sign NHL players currently locked out, forcing the league to leave it to each club to decide whether they want to sign players or not.The leagues action can be compared to a cartel. The clubs' mutual decision to boycott certain players is not allowed according to the competition laws, Per Karlsson, the SCAs Head of Legal Department, said in a press release.Each club must be able to take independent decisions on their investments, he added.The Swedish second-tier league, HockeyAllsvenskan, made a similar decision a few days after Elitserien, but later changed it, after the majority of the clubs wasnt opposed to others signing NHLers.Patrik Berglund, St. Louis Blues, has already signed with his Västerås in the HockeyAllsvenskan, and Anze Kopitar has joined his brother Gasper in Mora in the same league.The Swedish leagues CEO Jörgen Lindgren said the league will now have to analyze the SCAs decision. The league could, if it chooses so, appeal the decision to the Swedish Market Court.Well study the decision, and then well see what well do, he told Swedish Expressen.The Swedish Competition Authoritys decision, while interim, is in force until the final decision will be announced, and the league faces a 20-million krona (2.3 million) fine should it decide not to abide by the decision.Some clubs are rumoured to sign NHLers almost immediately, while others are, at least for now, still willing to stay the course and not sign NHLers.Its an unfortunate decision, Curt Johansson, Luleås chairman, told the Swedish Radio.Not all clubs have NHLers they can sign, and then theres the financial part of it. The European and Swedish economies arent doing well, and itd be strange if wed invest heavily when our partners have to pull back, he added.Alexander Steen has skated with MODO Örnsköldsvik all week, and the club already tried to appeal to the Elitserien to sign him to replace Samuel Påhlsson who tore his Achilles tendon in August. Also, it was Steens agent Kalle Bodén who took the case to the SCA.HV71 is said to be interested in signing the Blackhawks defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson, and Frölunda, in turn, has been in touch with Henrik Lundqvist, Erik Karlsson, and Loui Eriksson.Thats right, weve had discussions with them, Frölunda CEO Anderz Larqvist told SVT Sport.My plan right now is to stay in NY for a few weeks to practice. If this drags on I might go home and see friends and family back in Sweden, Henrik Lundqvist wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.While there have been no league decisions in Finland, only a few Finnish NHLers have decided to return to SM-liiga, at least for now, opposed to numerous signings in other countries such as Russia, Switzerland or the Czech Republic.The Hurricanes Jussi Jokinen played his first game this week, and scored a goal, Jesse Joensuu will play for his hometown team Ässät Pori on Saturday, and Lennart Petrell has already also skated with his HIFK Helsinki.Were not looking to add anybody else, Ässät GM Mika Toivola told Finnish MTV3.Some of the NHLers want to wait and see. The deeper we get into the season, the more there will be demand. This is the first phase but if the lockout drags on, there will be a new market of players, added JYP Jyväskylä CEO Kari Tyni.Wed like to see the NHL games under way as usual. This also an opportunity, stars will make the league better and make it more interesting. On the other hand, the clubs will have to find new backers to sign NHLers, Tyni added.RISTO PAKARINEN

The Institute for Shipboard Education was born from an idea to create a floating campus that reflected the ideals of the United Nations and the realities of globalization. As Chinese shipping magnate C.Y. Tung put it, "Ships can transport more than cargo—they can carry ideas." From humble beginnings, the program went on to attract world-famous guest speakers including Mikhail Gorbachev, Mother Teresa, and Nelson Mandela. Today, the cruising university onboard the MV Explorer offers two-week Enrichment Voyages for learners of all ages, with educational programming that digs deep into each port of call's culture and history. This 15-day cruise incorporates both lectures and hands-on exploration as it passes along Mexico's Baja peninsula toward the Isthmus of Panama and Ecuador. At each port on the itinerary, available excursions range from dive trips to volunteer service projects, such as plastering houses or feeding kindergarteners (additional fees apply for shore trips). Or you can set off on your own, armed with knowledge acquired from the recommended reading list.Days 1–3: After cruising from Ensenada, Mexico, to the southern tip of the Baja peninsula, the ship anchors at Cabo San Lucas. El Arco, the city's iconic seaside arch, forms a scenic backdrop for a day of kayaking and snorkeling.Day 6: Puerto Quetzal in Guatemala lies within easy range of Antigua, named an UNESCO World Heritage Site for its well-preserved baroque architecture. It's ringed by mountains playing a very slow-moving game of duck-duck-goose. Day 7: Nicaragua's largest Pacific port, Corinto, borders León, an old-world town dotted with 17th-century Spanish colonial churches such as the Cathedral of the Assumption.Days 9–10: Balboa, Panama, stands at the entrance to the Panama Canal—still an engineering marvel. The nearby overflow reservoir, Gatún Lake, is home to crocodiles, iguanas, and sloths.Days 12–13: Dipping toward South America, the ship docks at Manta, Ecuador, a trade city dating to pre-Columbian times. Pounding waves on Playa Murciélago create attractive surfing conditions.Day 15: The journey concludes at Puntarenas, Costa Rica, leaving you free to explore inland rainforests or head home. During each day at sea, college professors and other experts lead a string of seminars. Subjects are as varied as marine ecology, cultural anthropology, and photojournalism, and they often relate to the next port of call. The ship retains vestiges of its former life as a commercial liner. There are barstools in the 9,000-volume library, for instance, testifying to the space's former role as the ship's tavern. Despite the emphasis on education, there's still plenty of relaxation aboard. The Wellness Center spa offers massages, manicures, and other pampering services. Nightly live entertainment offerings include an all-male a cappella group, a magician, and staged readings of old Love Boat scripts. During the day, you can even skip class to lounge by the pool, located on deck 7.See the full trip overview for more information.Read the Fine Print for important info on travel dates and other restrictions.
The wide wheelbase of Jeep Rubicons kicks up age-old dust as they trundle across the dry open vistas of the desert. Inside, Borrego Jeep Photo Tours' guides describe local flora and fauna as they reveal the arid land's most spectacular natural formations such as Coyote Canyon or Split Mountain. They provide passengers with complimentary bottles of cold water and snacks on tours that last anywhere from two to six hours. Professional photographer Aaron Dennis accompanies every tour on their journey, providing guests with in-the-field photographic instruction as they capture their own images as keepsakes.

Participants in the winery tour need to be 21+ with valid ID, and the age minimum for the sunrise flight is five years old. Both journeys lift off from Maurice Car'rie Winery in Temecula.
When Father Lasuen founded Mission San Juan Capistrano in 1775, he created the 7th of modern California's 21 missions, which were intended to serve as epicenters of Christianity and Spanish culture in the New World. The mission system fell into disarray and disrepair during the war for Mexican independence and the Mexican-American War, but San Juan Capistrano remains, standing as a relic of that era and a testament to California's historical mélange of European and Native American cultures.
The mission invites visitors to learn more about the region's history by exploring 10 acres of preserved adobe architecture, fountains, and gardens. Audio tours give groups a unique insight into the site's stories, and rotating exhibits feature artwork as well as historical and religious artifacts from San Juan Capistrano. Hands-on activities allow guests to recreate the experience of centuries-old mission life by making adobe bricks, panning for gold, or connecting computers to dial-up modems.
Flavors of Laguna's tasting tours meander to well-known Laguna Beach restaurants as well as eateries kept quiet by locals, with tastings of a wide variety of cuisines along the way. Though stops can vary, past trips have seen tour-goers dig spoons into Dolce Gelato's creamy handcrafted treats, sample sizzling dishes at La Sirena Grill, or cozy up to the horseshoe island bar at Lumberyard. (Wine or beer tastings are available for an extra fee.) Between bites, guides point out major sights during casual strolls around Laguna's streets, ensuring that tours, like city maps made of chocolate, are informative as well as delicious.
Specializing in outdoor products, Adventure 16 provides daring travelers with a large selection of high-quality apparel and gear that is not only built to last, but also designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Trailblazers can charge confidently through cactus fields or scorpion pits with a pair of durable The North Face Paramount convertible pants ($65), which can be morphed from pants into shorts. Protect built-in binoculars with a pair of Native polarized sunglasses ($89) and further deflect UV rays with a fashionable Tilley Airflo hat ($76). Spelunkers will be glad for the company of a Nalgene Tritan water bottle ($9.50) that keeps thirst quenchers tightly bottled, as well as a Black Diamond Cosmo headlamp ($29.95) to light the way out of any cave, dense rainforest, or haunted house.

The Hotchkiss 3200-meter relay team of Alex Smith, Andrew Tiedeman, Kurt Katzdorn and Cody Bartlett posted a time of 8 minutes, 26.79 seconds to win the event at Saturday's Cedaredge Invitational. The team was three seconds shy of the meet record, set by Delta in 2011.
Tiedeman, a sophomore and first-year competitor in track, also shaved almost 13 seconds off of his time in the 1600m, placing second with a time of 4:48.28.
In the 1600m, Bartlett, Tiedeman and Katzdorn were ranked in the top 18 in state 2A competition heading into Saturday's meet.
As of last Friday, Bartlett's time of 4:46.42, which he ran on March 23 at the Hotchkiss Invitational, was the fastest official time in the state at the time.

Introducing Solid State Hard Disks (SSDs)
I'm writing this posting on a laptop computer that is, literally, in my lap. As I type, the poor machine gets bounced around which is not at all good for the hard disk. I'm tempting fate, perhaps the computer equivalent of driving without a seat belt.
I would be much better off if the computer had a Solid State Hard Disk (SSD) rather than the traditional hard disk with rotating platters. Hard disks are amazing feats of technology, but they are moving mechanical devices and nothing good comes from bouncing them around, be it on your lap or … Read more

Too-Hot-to-Cook Meal Plan: Week 1
As the temperature soars, a hot kitchen is the last place you want to be.
By Janis Jibrin, M.S., R.D. & Tracy Olgeaty Gensler, M.S., R.D.
Special Offers
Turn off the burners and keep your cool with this Good Housekeeping monthly meal plan, which features an exclusive no-cook theme. Most menus are quick and easy, and there are plenty of tasty GH recipes for those hot summer nights. Use your newfound free time for walking, relaxing and spending time with family and friends. Bon appétit!
Let's get started!
You may switch ingredients in these recipes if they contain foods you dislike just be sure you substitute foods with a similar calorie count (USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference). For example, if you don't like fish, you may substitute the same number of calories' worth of chicken; if you abhor tomatoes, you may substitute green beans. If you prefer peaches on cereal instead of strawberries, peaches are peachy with us.
The following calorie-free drinks are allowed anytime: water, flavored seltzer, diet iced tea (lemon wedge is fine) or diet soda.
Attention, Dieters with a Sweet Tooth!
Many days in this plan have meals that contain a sweet. But some days we've used up those calories on pizza, alcohol or another treat. If having one sweet each day helps you stay on track, here's how to get it in: If we've included alcohol, replace the drink with a similar-calorie treat (80 calories for a 4-ounce glass of wine, 100 calories for a 12-ounce light beer). On other days, cut out 1 cup of fat-free milk, replace it with a 90-calorie treat, and take a 300 mg calcium supplement. Note: Do this only on days we haven't provided a sweet otherwise, just enjoy the plan as is.
A Note About Coffee and Tea
Try not to exceed three cups of (regular, caffeinated) coffee a day or four cups of (regular, caffeinated) tea. Less is even better. You don't have to limit decaffeinated coffee or tea. Keep in mind that each teaspoon of sugar is 16 calories, and each little prepackaged container of cream is 21 calories. Try switching to 1 percent milk for just 12 calories per fluid ounce (about 2 tablespoons) and limit sugar to about 2 teaspoons daily.

Focal Professional CMS50 Studio Monitors
Focal Professional CMS50 Studio Monitors
Product Information
The design of Focal's CMS speakers combines performance and small size. That's why the box material is aluminum. The combination of substantial thickness, internal reinforcement and acoustic treatment effectively cancels the "ringing" effect often encountered in this type of cabinet.
Inverted aluminum/magnesium dome tweeter
The inverted dome tweeter is unique to Focal. It offers uniform movement of the entire dome - thanks to optimum mechanical coupling between the dome and voice coil - so you get superlative midrange and treble.
Focal Polyglass woofer
Polyglass technology, exclusive to Focal, consists of depositing a layer of hollow micro-spheres of glass onto a cellulose cone. The result is a rigidity rating that even exceeds single-skin Kevlar's. This provides perfect control of the cone, even at its highest limits, guaranteeing a resolutely accurate sound and encouraging linearity and neutrality in the midrange.
Bi-amplification: power, quality and simplicity
When it comes to amplification, the CMS features a high-quality yet clear and simple circuit that's capable of rendering the smallest signal, in both the higher and lower frequencies. The CMS integrates two high-end amplification units, one to power each drive unit.
Calibration for precise installation in any environment
CMS offers very high precision and resolution, however, soundstage coherence also depends on the exact positioning of the monitors. Focal handles this by supplying height-adjustable spikes to perfectly orient each monitor toward the listener. CMS also integrates all fine-tuning adjustments necessary to ensure optimal operation.
- Al-Mg inverted dome tweeter for accurate soundstage
- Aluminum cabinet optimized for maximum rigidity and damping
- Numerous settings (Parametric filter, high-pass filters, bass level, treble level...)
- Polyglass cone to ensure neutral sound without coloration
- Tweeter power unit reproduces every detail
- Mounting plates compatible with K&M and Omnimount fixing kits
Did you notice?
The CMS50 has multiple threaded mounting holes, so you can mount it directly on the wall or even on a microphone stand. -

Superb, professional-standard speakers
These are wonderful speakers, designed for what is known as near field monitoring (for example, when working on sound recording/ed These are wonderful speakers, designed for what is known as near field monitoring (for example, when working on sound recording/editing and having the speakers placed close to the listening position, between 1m and 3m away.
They are powered by their own built-in amps and are not designed to be used with a receiver, which probably explains one of the other reviewer's negative comments.
Rather, these speakers work superbly when connected to something like the Apogee Duet Firewire interface. Connect the Duet to your Mac and connect these speakers to the Duet and that's all you need for some magnificent sound.
In small rooms, they can be used for fantastic quality replay of audio files, with an outstanding quality high enough to reveal the weaknesses of most compressed music, while doing full justice to uncompressed or Lossless sounds. These speakers are for ears that appreciate such differences. For others, they would be overkill.
Build is top class. Switches on the rear allow for custom adjustments to suit the acoustic characteristics of any listening room.
If you are looking for quality and have been considering similar studio speakers (say, the Adam A7), I give these my highest recommendation. …- Written by GARY JAMES W from San Francisco

Nearly perfect desktop monitors

Very adjustable, the 160 hz notch eliminates the mid bass boom common with desktop use and with front gain knobs on both speakers, the stereo image can be dialed in just right.
The decoupling pad and spikes are well done. Dusted my BM5A monitors. Very musical and involving, but with detail consistent with their mixing monitor design. Don't know of any similar sized monitor at this price that can compete. Highly recommend. …- Written by David A from Brookfield

You won't believe the sound!
I bought these speakers to compliment my 24" imac and was surprised at the shallow sound and how much background noise they genera I bought these speakers to compliment my 24" imac and was surprised at the shallow sound and how much background noise they generated for $1,000.00. After some research, I purchased a Benchmark DAC to interface between my Imac and the Focals, and I was amazed at the new sound quality. There is no background noise regardless of volume, and the effect is like being at a live performance. Apple should offer the Benchmark DAC as an additional product to upgrade your listening experience. Believe me, you will have a sound system better than anything costing several times as much, with the Itunes flexibility of control. Of course, your music library needs to be in the Apple lossless format. …

What are these for? Amazing professional reference near field monitors
These powered professional reference near field monitors are exactly that. I saw a few reviews with people misunderstanding the us These powered professional reference near field monitors are exactly that. I saw a few reviews with people misunderstanding the use of these speaker and so thought they should be explained.
while these will sound amazing any way you use them, they are built to be used in the project to professional production/recording/mixing environment to very accurately and smoothly help an engineer or producer monitor the the recordings in a multi-track session.
The bass response will not be accurately portrayed by the CMS 50's without the addition of a sub woofer or pair of subs allowing the reproduction of sound into the lower frequencies of the audio spectrum. Focal makes incredible Subs called the CMS SUB as well for this purpose.
Even with the inverted dome tweeter the monitors will still be directional because they are meant to give the engineer the ability to place sounds across the stereo image, and should be listened to facing (you) as the third corner of an equilateral triangle to best hear how the music sounded while being mixed/mastered.
They should also be used in concert with a high quality AD/DA convertor perhaps at least as good Apogee duet, but whichever the device, it should be at least as good as the duet if not better. This is the device that creates the audio for the speakers to play (from the computer data)
(no point in paying $1500 to listen to Mp3s-4s etc.) you want WAV files or higher to best enjoy your sound
All ASIDE:
the CMS50's are some of the most amazing studio monitors for the price, however for the price; Focal has a lifestyle system series: Bird/Powerbird/Superbird which is much better for what you probably want -> adorning the home theatre system
Hope this explanation helps!

Cool for little guys
I am spoiled, having grown up in the era where speakers were part of the living room decor in their elegant walnut cabinets and bi I am spoiled, having grown up in the era where speakers were part of the living room decor in their elegant walnut cabinets and big smooth sound. The behemoths were capable of filling a room with sound with little effort, producing solid bass down to 32Hz, in the case of my speakers (I still have them). Most of these behemoths were hand made in either Hope, AR or Northridge, CA. These were the speakers that set the standards for movie and audio mastering.
Most of these old speakers lasted so long that there are replacement parts readily available, something that can't be said in a throw away generation.
Most of the new "mini monitors" are very directional, or as my friend would say "tinny". I found the detail in these speakers to be remarkable, yea, they have no bass line and no, they don't come close to the old Altec Monitors with the 811b sectoral horns, but the aren't half bad for inexpensive little guys. They are for near field monitoring, the farther away you get, the more directional they sound.
All in all, if you're on a budget, they ain't half bad in near field. …- Written by Mark K from Chestnut Hill

They will not sound well connected to the earphone jack of my IMAC but with my digital analog converter these speakers produce sound that lends to realism. Sometimes it sounds like live musicians are preforming next to me in my small studio.
They may be pricy, however, you get what you pay for in anything you buy & the Focal-CMS 50 speakers are worth every dollar I spent on them. …- Written by Ely G from FAYETTEVILLE

Best Answer:
A very late reply, but it might help other people out. These are professional studio monitors, and v A very late reply, but it might help other people out. These are professional studio monitors, and very good entry ones at that, they're not cheap PC speakers or designed to make dodgy recordings sound great. To get the best out of them, you will want your Mac to be connected to an external DAC (digital to analog converter), either via USB or the headphone-out which doubles as a digital out; spdif/optical toslink to be precise. You would then connect the Focals either via unbalanced RCA cables, or balanced XLR if your DAC supports it. Some examples would be the Apogee Duet or DAC Magic for entry level. You don't need amplification because these are active not passive speakers.
If you're going to have a decent desktop set up, then you need to go all the way (this includes high-bitrate AAC, or ideally ALAC files, turning off iTunes EQ in order to avoid upsampling or the audio, and isolating the Focals from the desk they are sitting on, otherwise why pay all this money and not use them properly?

True range capacity of these speakers?
- Asked by Craig W from Calgary
- Mar 20, 2010
The frequency response is listed on the Focal website. I think these go down to 45hz, and 90% of mus The frequency response is listed on the Focal website. I think these go down to 45hz, and 90% of music, let alone clubs and places like that never go below 40hz. There's no way a 2.0 set up will match a 2.1's sub for low bass, because the speakers are simply too small to move the air like that; if they were, then who would need a sub?
The Focals have clean, accurate bass but don't try and reproduce what they're incapable of doing well. They will faithfully give you low frequency response within the realm of nearly all music, and I've heard several people comment that it feels like they go lower than the stated response anyway.
As far as desktop solutions go, you'd want 8"+ monitors if you're after the lowest bass (the CMS 65's go lower than the 50s), but even then, bass is bass and if you don't want to annoy the neighbours, then a sub doing 30hz or a bookshelf speaker doing 30hz is still going to travel through the wall the same way. Remember, anything lower than 40hz is really where you start feeling the physical effects of bass rather than hearing it anyway, and this is more the preserve of movies than music. These monitors are among the best in their price point and have won awards, which should tell you enough about how good they sound with well-recorded music! …- Answered by Paul S

Found the people, setting, logistics, race options, course, volunteers, swag all really top notch. It is a hilly trail course with little shade which was all just fine. The volunteers and organizers were awesome! Views worth the work. The people made me feel very welcome and supported. Amateur HAM operators tracking each person. I felt like a VIP but never felt rushed and the volunteeers helped keep my mind off my first full TRAIL marathon jitters. Would recommend. It is a hidden gem of a marathon, unique medal and great food after. Oh, saw deer, one guy saw an armadillo. Unless you want speed or flat paved streets you won't be disappointed.
Nice hilly course that had a mix of trails and roads. The trails were very well marked and easy to follow. Aid stations were great. We enjoyed our stay at the Post Oak Lodge. It was a tough course due to the hills. Great views from those hills.
Very well organized. Several races over the weekend. A distance for everyone with the option for doublers. This was my first trail marathon, I'm hooked. The course had several miles of singletrack, with some mildly technical sections. Very scenic. Only down fall for the course was the few miles of out and back on the roads. I hope they can keep it all trail in the future. Hill from hell at the finish lived up the hype. Numerous aid stations that were stocked up with food and liquids. The final two stations were AWESOME.
I ran the 50k. The course is 2 winding laps through woods and scrub outside Tulsa, more scenic than it sounds. The trail is mostly not-too-technical, though I wiped out once. A few very steep ascents make the final 5 miles of each lap pretty tough. What really distinguishes this race is the organization. 50k, 25k, and 10k start times were set enough apart that none of the races were a nuisance to the others. Aid stations were outstanding and very frequent, staffed with unbelievably enthusiastic volunteers.
I cannot believe that we slept so close to the start line. I give the rooms 5 stars. The breakfast and supper were AMAZING. I did the 25K and was signed up for the quarter marathon the next day. The night before I felt fine and thought I could do the half the next day, so we walked over to the lodge at 8:00 p.m. to see if I could change, and in 3 minutes flat it was done. Unheard of in most events. The trails were brutal. It was very foggy and cold, but I had lots of fun. The half was an out-and-back, hilly course. The first and last 3.5 miles are all hills. After the hills are done (sort of), you start heading towards the trail. By far the worst was the last half-mile. It was so bad that they had to give it a name: Hill from Hell. It lived up to its name for sure. All around, a good event; we had a great time and will be back next year.
I ran the trail 50K. The organization was superb, the trail was very well marked, and staying and eating at the lodge was fantastic. It was really great to get to meet and chat with the race director, course master, and guest speaker. The course is fairly tough: hilly and muddy. But if you've run the Rockin' K in Kansas, I think this course is a bit easier. I only gave the course 4 stars because it's a tad contrived, with lots of crazy meandering to create a 25K loop that is then run in the reverse direction to create 50K. You can often see other runners nearby, but are never quite sure if they're ahead or behind you. However, given the area they have to work with, they came up with a pretty amazing and exceptionally well marked trail. No getting lost on this one!
I came to Tulsa with the hopes of a marathon PR. It didn't take long to realize that wasn't in the cards after talking with several experienced trail runners the night before the race. This was indeed a true trail marathon - not a gravel road through the woods. Once I wrapped my mind around this and accepted the new challenge of completing my first ever marathon length trail race, I loved every minute of it. I joined forces with another runner early on and remained positive throughout the race. It was a beautiful day; I'm not sure the weather could've been better. In this race, I had so much to focus on, jumping muddy patches, crossing streams, climbing up hills and over rocks, etc., that I never hit the wall. I finished sub 5 hours, but an hour and 10 minutes longer than my marathon PR. I've never run so long in my life, but honestly enjoyed the challenge. One note: my rating doesn't come out to 5 stars because I had to rate spectators. While there weren't any true spectators, and I didn't expect any seeing as how this was a trail race, I did give a few stars for the voluteers staffing the aid stations. They did a wonderful job. The race director and his staff were incredibly hospitable, as was the staff at Post Oak Lodge.
The rocks were tough because many were only an inch or two above the ground or were covered by leaves so you could not see them before you stepped on them. But that, to me, is what makes a trail marathon different and challenging. The smallness and organization were great, and the weather was outstanding. Aid stations were well stacked and very organized. I liked the course even without the mile markers. Since I am not all that competitive now, I just liked the scenery. Don't change much.
I thought my head was ready for this one even if my ailing hamstring was not. Wow, was I wrong. The mud, rocks, hills, switchbacks, loosely defined "trails" and lack of any accurate information about distance traversed (no mile markers, and aid station folks that I asked were guessing or just admitted they didn't know) had me confused and dejected. It's a shame because everything leading up to the race - the web site, director's updates, pasta dinner, technical shirt - was first rate! I run a trail marathon before and it was one of my favorites, so it's not the trail experience per se driving my criticism. The lack of spectators doesn't matter to me. The aid stations were well-stocked and the volunteers were very friendly (even if not so informed as to distances). The post-race food and beer were excellent. Just change the course. Two big loops or something other than a "Groundhog Day" kind of experience with all of the switchbacks and repeats. And please tell me that the course was incorrectly measured.... I can't comprehend how I only covered 26.2.
I found this to be a very, very tough course. My GPS indicates more than 5,600 feet of climb and 5,600 feet of descent over the course. I was surprised by these numbers, because the hills themselves seemed like no big deal while on the course, and very few are steep. My GPS also had my total mileage over 28 miles. I know I was off-course before mile one, when about 20 of us ran past a marker that was blown over. My GPS indicates that was a deviation of only eight-tenths. I don't know where the other extra 1.2 mile came in. The trail was a little hard to follow at times, with all of its twists and turns, but I am not aware of ever being off-course except that one time. The winner finished in 4:02, which is almost super human. Only about 10 or so people broke five hours. The weather was just about perfect - in the 40's (I estimate) and sunny. The race director at the pasta dinner said that although they had a lot of rain in the previous weeks, that it had dried up quite a bit, and we probably would not get our shoes wet. I found that prediction way off. In many places the trail was very muddy indeed. Almost lost my shoes more than once in the sticky, nearly-ankle-deep mud. The most difficult part of the race was the rocky surface of some of the trails. I expect uneven surfaces in a trail run, but was surprised at how much of the course was on rocks. Much more than half of the course, I estimate. The rocks were often hidden in layers of leaves in the forest areas, or by trampled grass in the fields. You really have to look at the ground with every foot plant, but of course you risk missing the course markings this way. When they prepared the course, it looked like someone went through with lopping shears to remove saplings. The problem was that they often left a couple of inches of the "trunk" above the ground, and a couple of times I planted a foot on those blunt little spikes. I also caught my feet in vines, and partially exposed roots, which are common hazards on trails, but which only added to the generally treacherous footing found on long, long stretches of the course. At an aid station I heard one of the runners tell the course marshal that, except for the altitude, he found this course more difficult than Leadville! I rated the course 5 stars because of the difficulty. As a trail run, spectators are really not in evidence, although I did see three people sitting on a large rock near a road cheering the runners on at one point. What I strongly feel runners should know is the rocky conditions, so you can decide if your legs - and especially ankles - are strong enough to run this course without getting injured. All the ankle-turning and stumbling early in the race can take a toll, and because the footing is essentially unrelentingly rocky, you are running on difficult ground with unusually tired legs. It is for this reason I say this is a GREAT race if you are an experienced trail runner. I would tell less experienced runners to get on an easier course for some experience first.

The integration of faith, learning and living is evident in a faculty committed to high standards of instruction, ethical practice and building relationships for service.
Marriage & Family Therapy
The master of science degree in marriage and family therapy is a prescirbed course of study aimed at preparing students to think and practice therapy from a systemic perspective. Throughout the curriculum students are exposed to family structure and dynamics with direct experience in family violence, sexual abuse and substance-related issues that effect the system and subsystems.
Completion of the program requires a minimum of 500 face-to-face client contact hours, 250 of which must be family/relational.

Throwback toys your kids will still love
Stroll down any aisle of a Toys"R"Us these days and you'll be confronted with a billion options that are light-years beyond anything you had to entertain yourself with as a kid.

They are too fat to fit in the pulleys and get heated and blow apart. I now have my original belt on to keep it moving. Don't waste your money on these belts spend the extra $20 to get an OEM belt. I didn't make it two months with this last one before it broke. My dads lasted a year before it blew up like a grenade went off in the housing (never ridden hard just used for getting around on the logging roads for hunting.) So disappointed in these belts.

The Phoenix Coyotes finally have a new owner following The Undertaker's victory over CM Punk at Wrestlemania 29. The four-time WWE champion defeated Punk by pinfall and was awarded ownership of the troubled hockey franchise. (parody)
But before 24 hours had passed on the January 31 deadline for Greg Jamison to complete the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes, a new name was brought to the forefront, Calgary-based Bill Gallacher.
Statements from NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly and Coyotes President Mike Nealy on the status of the Coyotes ownership situation.
After a missed deadline and a year of unfulfilled promise, Phoenix Coyotes ownership prospect Greg Jamison has been placed on waivers and could be picked up by the New York Islanders, according to a source. (parody)
The collapse of Greg Jamison's ownership bid isn't just a familiar failure for the Coyotes. It's a familiar failure in the history of botched NHL ownerships.
It's not the news that Coyotes fans wanted to hear tonight, but Greg Jamison did break his silence and release a full statement that says that they are committed to continuing their attempt to purchase the Coyotes even though it will require additional negotiations with the City of Glendale.
We put it to Phoenix Coyotes fans to tell us what they would suggest to Greg Jamison to do when he takes over the team, hilarity ensued.
When you have a fan base that is has been mercilessly teased by media outlets and bloggers, and tormented by evaporating potential suitors for four plus years, what can we all expect when the league decides to lock them out for half a season?
The City of Glendale has signed the lease agreement with Greg Jamison's Hockey Partners group. Where does that put the progress on selling the team to Mr. Jamison? We provide our take here.
Christmas came a little early for Coyotes fans, as the City of Glendale signed the arena management agreement with Greg Jamison yesterday. We have reaction from across the league, plus news on the disclaimer of interest vote, and a holiday poem.
