Is it possible to directly edit the Calendar's database?
The reason is - I've synchronized it with Google Calendar and, as some of you might know, there is a sad disagreement between Google Sync and Nokia's Mail for Exchange regarding all-day event format. Google's all-day events are translated into virtually 24-hour long Meeting events in Nokia's Calendar. Needless to say Memo events would have worked better (one might even fancy that some day Google or Nokia engineers would guess that yearly repeated all-day events should be translated into Anniversary type events, duh!)
Now, having the Calendar on my 5800 XM full of stupid 24-hour long Meetings instead of birthdays or personal holidays I've entered into Google Calendar, I'd really like to change them into Memos an Anniversaries. Unfortunately, neither Nokia PC Suite not OVI online Calendar offer such an option. So that leaves direct DB edit, which is the point of my message. What application can I use to edit the Calendar's database?

Sponsor a Child
Compassion This Way Network has developed our program with effectiveness in mind.Our programs are both high impact and efficient. Effective for the children, and efficient for the donor.
We understand the economic strain we are under here in Michigan and we try to make every dollar count.
Please sponsor one child in our progam for one year at a cost of $250.
If you look at the future impact on that child and the life lessons learned, the cost is small.
Please click on the donate button below-right, and donate any amount. For every $250 we receive a child is helped.
About MentoringResearch confirms what previously we had known only anecdotally or intuitively. That is, mentoring works.
A recent Research Brief published by Child Trends and titled, "Mentoring: A Promising Strategy for Youth Development," found that youth who participate in mentoring relationships experience a number of positive benefits.
Since 2005Compassion This Way has been helping children since 2005. We currently mentor 35 children, but are able to serve many more - with your help.
In terms of educational achievement, mentored youth have better attendance; a better chance of going on to higher education; and better attitudes towards school. In terms of health and safety, mentoring appears to help prevent substance abuse and reduce some negative youth behaviors.
On the social and emotional development front, taking part in mentoring promotes positive social attitudes and relationships. Mentored youth tend to trust their parents more and communicate better with them. They also feel they get more emotional support from their friends than do youth who are not mentored.
Therefore, to determine the number of young people who most need mentors, we turned to youth expert and researcher Joy Dryfoos. Author of the book, Adolescence at Risk, Dryfoos identified a number of factors that put youth especially at risk of not becoming successful adults. Those factors include performing poorly in school and dropping out; engaging in substance abuse, having sex at an early age and engaging in delinquent behavior. Dryfoos then categorized youth by risk status:
- Very high risk (10 percent of young people) – young people with multiple problem behaviors who commit serious offenses, drop out of school; use heavy drugs and have sex without contraception, etc.
- High risk (15 percent) – youth who participate in two or three problem behaviors but at a slightly lower frequency and with less deleterious consequences;
- Moderate risk (25 percent) – youth who tend to experiment in committing minor delinquent offenses, using substances occasionally but not hard drugs, have sexual intercourse with contraception, etc.; and
- Low risk (50 percent) – young people who do not commit any serious delinquent acts, do not abuse substances and are not yet sexually active.

by Lord Alfred Tennyson Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me. O, well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay! And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still! Break, break, break,
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.

Dawson Community College Early Childhood Education program and DEAP Child Care Education and Support present keynote speaker, Jeff A. Johnson, October 8 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Ullman Center on the DCC campus.
Johnson, author of Let's Play (Un) Curriculum Early Learning Adventures, inspires listeners with a blend of humor and teaching techniques that trust kids to lead their own learning through play. At the 3 hour session, he will coach child care providers, parents, homeschoolers and teachers in the importance of the four T's: time, team, task and technique.
The Glendive session at DCC takes a hands-on look at dozens of ideas for using materials from home recycling bins, grocery or dollar stores, to promote learning through child directed play, exploration, and discovery. "I absolutely enjoyed the presentation!" said Ronda a past participant. "I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I've been in early childcare for 13 years and am leaving today with even more FUN, cheap, awesome ideas!!"
After 16 years directing a child care center and community center for a large non-profit agency, Jeff A. Johnson opened Explorations Early Learning, a family child care program, in 2003 with his wife, Tasha. Their program focuses on emergent learning in a play-based and child centered environment.
According to Jeff, "The best thing about our program is the great kids we get to work with each day. Our days are spent with laughs, conversation, play, exploration, discoveries, and fun. We enjoy creating an environment conducive to 'light bulb moments', those moments where kids grasp new ideas. It is wonderful to get to see them rediscover the world."
Jeff travels around the country presenting keynotes and workshops at over 30 events a year on two main themes: caregiver self care and child centered early learning.
Jeff is the author of the Redleaf Press books Do-It-Yourself Early Learning, Finding Your Smile Again, Everyday Early Learning, and Babies in the Rain as well as The Child Care Alphabet Book of Early Learning and The Child Care Alphabet Book of Manipulatives, published by Explorations Early Learning LLC.
Jeff also publishes a monthly electronic newsletter distributed to early care and education professionals in all 50 states and a number of other counties, writes a blog devoted to helping caregivers remember to care for themselves, and offers other support for caregivers on his website. For more information, you can visit his website at www.explorationsearlylearning.com [4] or email him at [email protected] [5].
To register for this unique event contact Cori at DEAP 406-234-6034 or 800-224-6034. Cost is $15.

iSplash Floating Speaker 4 4
So far, so good! The concept of having one's playlist safely blasting from the middle of the pool seemed like a fantastic idea. Upon reading the instructions, it is a bit worrisome about not getting water under the removable lid. If a child or a guest just decides to dunk it before you can yell "don't, what then? Also, it tends to rain unexpectedly here ( I mean a downpour). So, I am awaiting that test of durability. On the plus size, even a non techie can set it up in seconds. The sound and volume are truly amazing! Oh, it's cute, too. July 11, 2013
best purchase ever Bought 1 and then bought another because we love it. July 22, 2013
ISplash was a hit this Father's Day I originally saw the ISplash on the Today Show. The sound and quality of the product are excellent and it is very easy to use. June 28, 2013

The Broncos announced on Monday that they used their franchise tag on PK Matt Prater.
Prater made 76 percent of his field goals in 2011, a decrease in accuracy from the 2009-10 seasons, when he made more than 85 percent in each year. However, he showed a strong leg last season, making three kicks of longer than 50 yards. Prater also was clutch, going a perfect 3-for-3 in overtime games.
The 27-year old kicker also was fantastic on kickoffs. More than 68 percent of his kicks resulted in touchbacks in 2011.
"Placing the franchise tag on Matt Prater ensures that he'll be a Bronco in 2012," executive VP of football operations John Elway tweeted out Monady afternoon. "Matt's a very talented kicker & important part of our team. This gives us the ability to continue working on a long-term agreement."
Prater is the first Broncos player to receive franchise tag since 2002, when the team applied it to PK Jason Elam.

This is about the 49ers and the Seahawks. Trust me.
When I was 13, I heard Vazquez and Greenspan were going to fight each other. They didn't know me. They were the older kids, probably 16. At that time of life, the difference between 13 and 16 is forever.
We all hung out at the playground on Avenue L in Brooklyn, a cement rectangle almost the size of a city block, the whole thing bordered by a chain link fence. The place reminded you of the exercise yard in a prison. We called the playground the Park although it was hardly park-like. It was where we played city games — punch ball, stickball, slap ball, you name them. And one day I heard the big kids talking. Vazquez and Greenspan, two very big teenagers, had a beef.
I did not understand their beef. But it was serious enough to cause talk and the talk included a date. They were going to meet after school tomorrow, meet on the punch ball court in broad daylight and fight.
I felt a thrill that made my insides churn. I talked to no one about the fight. But I thought about it, thought about it constantly during school the next day knowing the fight would happen about 4 o'clock, knowing something important would happen in their world and mine.
I paid no attention in class, visions of Vazquez and Greenspan invading my mind. I ran home after school, dumped my books and hurried to the Park across the street from our apartment — five people, two bedrooms, one bathroom. I waited. I waited alone, talking to no one, not even to my friends. This was about Vazquez and Greenspan, but it also was about me.
From opposing baselines of the punch ball court Vazquez and Greenspan approached each other. In my memory the approach was formalized, two big mean serious 16-year-olds walking in slow motion, their faces angry. There was a crowd of watchers. Vazquez and Greenspan grabbed each other as I gasped, because this was it. It was happening.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
What is carpal tunnel syndrome?
The carpal tunnel is a canal formed of bones on the dorsal or floor of the canal and the sides of the canal. The roof or volar side of the canal is formed of the thick, transverse carpal ligament. The flexor tendons to each of the digits and the median nerve pass through the canal. The median nerve gives sensation or feeling to the thumb, index, middle, and one-half of the ring finger. It also supplies muscle function to the thenar muscles (muscles at the base of the thumb that allow the thumb to abduct, flex, and oppose to the adjacent digits). It is within this tight space that from various causes swelling builds up putting pressure on the median nerve causing symptoms.
What causes carpal tunnel syndrome?
Increased canal contents
Tumors, anomalous muscles, bleeding, and hematoma, arthritis, and inflammatory conditions (most commonly, flexor tenosynovitis).
Decreased size of the canal
Most commonly arises from congenital abnormalities of the carpal bones.
Conditions that alter fluid balance or conditions that cause general breakdown of the peripheral nerves
Pregnancy, medications, thyroid disease, diabetes, alcoholism, and amyloidosis.
Overuse of the wrist
Repetitive wrist flexion and extension; repetitive gripping, pushing, or pulling; repetitive finger motion; paraplegia.
What are the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome?
- Pain or burning in the hand, forearm, and fingers.
- Numbness and paresthesias (tingling) in the thumb, index, middle, and one-half of the ring.
- Symptoms are increased at night.
- Symptoms awaken the patient to a point where the patient has to shake their hands to try to relieve the symptoms.
- Increased symptoms with activity.
- The patient feels their hands are swelling.
- Weakness and clumsiness, particularly with fine motor movements such as buttoning clothes or picking up objects; the patient will admit to dropping things
- Muscle wasting.
How to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome?
In addition to a careful history of the symptoms described above, an examination will reveal:
- Tinel's test (thumping the skin over an irritable nerve or wrist crease in this case causes shocks or tingling in the area of distribution of that nerve).
- Phalen s wrist flexion test (with the wrist maximally flexed, symptoms are produced within 60 second).
- Tenderness at the wrist and distal forearm overlying the median nerve.
- Swelling at the distal forearm volar surface.
- Sensation or feeling diminished to all fingers.
- Muscle weakness: Resisted movement or pinching of the thumb to the little finger.
Additional tests may be helpful:
X-rays of the wrist with an additional carpal tunnel view
To assess for fractures, arthritis, or soft tissue calcification.
Lab analysis
Thyroid, ANA, rheumatoid factor, glucose.
Electrodiagnostic tests (NCV/EMG)
Used to grade the severity of the CTS; can also pick up other abnormalities such as cervical nerve root compression; a normal test does not rule out carpal tunnel syndrome as approximately 20% of patients with surgical lesions have normal tests; this is not to replace the clinical exam and is purely an adjunct to the clinical evaluation.
Celestone injection
A temporary response is diagnostic for CTS; I will typically inject those patients with normal electrodiagnostic tests to help confirm the diagnosis.
Electromyography (EMG) Animation Video
Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) Animation Video
What are the types of carpal tunnel syndrome?
Acute (uncommon):
Usually due to trauma; symptoms are rapid secondary to swelling, bleeding, or displaced fracture; if symptoms don t resolve within several hours following reduction of the fracture and elevation, then surgical decompression is warranted.
(Mild) Intermittent pain and paresthesias; responds frequently to conservative care; (Moderate) constant numbness and paresthesias; conservative measures are less likely to help and surgery is ultimately necessary; (Severe) loss of sensation and muscle function; requires surgical intervention; there is usually either partial or complete relief depending on the severity of the problem.
Treatment Options
Non-surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome
Night splinting or splinting during activities; rest; work modifications; NSAIDs (i.e. Advil); steroids; Celestone injections (I reserve these for patients who are adamant about not having surgery; patients with negative electrodiagnostic tests, to help in the diagnosis; or if the patient is pregnant as the symptoms will ultimately recover within six months following delivery).
Surgical Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome
There are two acceptable procedures.
- Endoscopic Procedure:
The endoscopic procedure involves either one or two small incisions; a telescope is placed to visualize the undersurface of the transverse carpal ligament; additional instruments are used to divide the ligament; skin glue is placed and a dressing is added.Click Here to read more about Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Procedure.
- Open Procedure:
The open procedure involves an approximately 5 to 6 centimeter incision at the base of the palm; the ligament overlying the transverse carpal ligament is divided; the contents of the canal are explored and the nerve is inspected; inflamed flexor tenosynovium is resected from the tendons if necessary; the skin is then sutured and a splint is placed.
How can Dr. Knight help you with carpal tunnel syndrome?
Dr. Knight has significant experience in the treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. He will quickly diagnose your problem and make recommendations to resolve your symptoms starting with the most conservative measures.

Walker Magazine will publish seasonally. The Fall 2012 issue will be released the week of Oct. 15.
"When I first visited Jasper and Walker County last fall, I realized this market was primed for its own marquee publication," McNeely said. "And everything that I have experienced since my arrival here as publisher earlier this year supports such a project."
McNeely is experienced in publishing niche products such as glossy magazines. He published two annual chamber magazines in 2001 and 2002 while publisher of the Morehead (Ky.) Newsgroup. He also published two bi-annual chamber magazines during his most recent publisher stint in Somerset, Ky.
Moreover, he launched a successful monthly health magazine for the Lake Cumberland regional medical community while in Somerset. Southern Kentucky Health & Family Magazine is currently in its eighth year of consecutive monthly publication.
"Walker County, with its rich heritage, beautiful outdoors and southern hospitality, provides a perfect landscape for a professionally designed, glossy magazine," McNeely said.
Although he has experience with annual magazines, McNeely suggests a seasonal publication will better represent Walker County and its diversified business community with fresh content every three months.
"A quarterly publication will not grow stale with a three-month shelf life," McNeely said. "We have four opportunities each year to present all that is good about Walker County and its assets."
Walker Magazine will be printed on professional-grade, glossy paper. It will burst at the seams with colorful features that touch on specific topics, including community, business, industry, healthcare, education, tourism, sports and more.
"This magazine will be chock full of stories about your friends, family and neighbors," he said. "It will promote our hometown life."
According to McNeely, initially 12,000 magazines will be printed. Up to 8,000 magazines will be distributed to carrier-delivered subscribers of the Daily Mountain Eagle.
An additional 4,000 copies will be available for free pickup at strategically located businesses throughout Walker County.
They will also be available for viewing at area medical offices. All businesses that invest in advertising space within the magazine will also receive complimentary copies.
A digital version of the magazine will also be available for viewing on the Daily Mountain Eagle web site at www.mountaineagle.com.
The staff of the Daily Mountain Eagle is responsible for the advertising sales and editorial content of the magazine, McNeely said.
"Our staff has more than 350 years of combined print experience and the newspaper has 140 years of credibility in Walker County," he added.

Tips from the Pros
Getting More Distance
By Doug Weaver, Director of Instruction
Players are always asking me for more distance. Try the following steps: Take a five-minute walk in your neighborhood... then stretch your hamstrings and hips and shoulders. Then, once you're warmed up, go to the course and stay active, keeping your muscles loose.
Relax your grip to
lengthen your back swing and remember: The power lies in our hips and thighs.
Sam Snead once said, "Golf is like dancing - it is all in your legs."
So, warm those muscles up properly and go for more distance!

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Great Car by SAN on 10/12/2012. Trim: 2004 Toyota Camry Standard, Owned 8 years.
Pros: We bought this vehicle new in 2004. We had a 1998 Volvo that, while safe,was terrible in the snow and very expensive to fix.This toyota has been nothing but great. We JUST put new brakes in after 8 years of driving, new battery 1 and that is it. Would buy another if I had the money.
Cons: Nothing except for that fact that we see a lot of older people driving the same car. My daughter always says, "If you had just waited one year we would have a different style!"
Overall review: Great, reliable, good on gas, safe.

Voting Home / Beyond Boston Chic
Nominated for: BEST Fashion Blog
Martini has lived in the Boston area since the age of 10 and is still in love with her hometown. She decided to start her blog, Beyond Boston Chic on a particularly dreary day in February of 2008 while eating a hot bowl of tomato soup. This determination to start the blog stemmed from a desperate yearning for sartorial inspiration in the depth of winter. She went out with her camera the very next day and started taking pictures of stylish Bostonians. BBC has been going strong since then with new posts every week.
Martini received her undergraduate degree from Wellesley College and her masters in education policy from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. When she is not running after dapper people around Boston and the world, Martini enjoys her work in the field of education policy.

Favre is the overall leader, given his position, but mostly his experience
I also consider Favre the leader of the receivers, he seems to be helping them out all the time.
AD is a leader of the backfield, but also he's the star and leads that way off the field.
Hutch is the leader of the OL, taking over for Birk.
He has his work cut out for him with Sully and Load starting.
I think he's doing a good job.
Not improving play (coach's job), but keeping them focused and loose on the field.
I can't pick a single leader of the DL, Jared is most visible, Kevin has been here the longest and is a consistant probowler.
But Pat has the most experience and is vocal too.
This might be why the DL is so great and IMO the heart of the team.
EJ is the LB's leader, but I'm still waiting for the LB corp to step up.
I might just have been expecting more.
Winfield is the leader of the secondary, hands down.
Letting Sharper go put it all on him.
Really missed him in the last few games.
Need the on the field leader.

Are you pro-Tim Tebow?"There are 3 things that sell in America:
Violence, sex, and drugs.
The only way you are going to make this game more appealing to the public than it was before is if there are on field orgies at halftime and the domes become massive opium dens."

But what I know about Tebow is he's not a classic pocket QB.
Any QB that has as many ruhing attempts as passing completions isn't my kind of QB, even half as many isn't good.
I don't mind QB's that can run like Steve Young, who most would consider a pocket QB who can scramble and he was around 5th as many rushes to completions.
I use completions instead of pass attempts, because most happy feet QB's aren't very good passers i.e. Vick.

Start just left of Strange Science on a platform below a huge boulder. Climb a stepped face, go left to a corner, layback up to a ledge, and fire up a steep headwall. Excellent climb with several hard moves.
7 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor. The route is 85' long.
I placed green and yellow Aliens between some of the bolts. When there are cracks I bring gear, even on sport climbs. (Explaining, not complaining, although a couple of the bolts are unnecessary.)
This route is awesome and a must-do if you're at the Avalon. I don't know why it wouldn't get at least 2 stars. There's 2 bolts that are not necessary, as gear will protect their moves but the climbing is awesome.
Pretty solid climbing and probably like most at the cliff in that it is over graded at least a tad. Nice climb though, with good rock and fun moves. A lot of variety in the holds and moves keeps it interesting. Could get pumpy if you spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.
Young Doug...[Didn't] know the name when we did it. Thought it to be .10c/d-ish. Maybe my ape-index helps, but certainly there are no moves here that would be considered .11a..again, I must consider other benchmark routes at the grade. I am not a cutting-edge climber, but have 20+ years climbing in the Boulder area. I say that to lend some credentials to my stance on the grades. I would say this is a nice pitch, and well worth doing if you are up there..after all Boulder Canyon is a lot about quantity of routes in a day.
One of the best lines at the cliff! A TCU/Alien just below the 5th bolt is comforting if you're too short to make the clip from the ledge.
Good route with varied climbing. Even a little bit of finger crack underclinging. Not an 11 but still a worthwhile climb to do. CL
I am short, Alien not needed. High left foot and and good crimp in the crack allows to go up, clip the bolt and lower back down to the restful stance. The move is secure and quicker than placing an Alien a foot below a bolt.
This climb is not to be missed. Interesting climbing the whole way, and while the bolted crack probably detracts from the climb, most people would just skip it rather than bring one piece of gear, so it seems justified. Interesting moves up top with insecure feet on steep terrain, but it's definitely all there.
This is a great route. I found the bottom three bolts to be thought provoking and balance intensive; while the top is powerful for an onsight. As far as the grade, I'd say it's .11a if Free Willie is, which I found to be considerably less difficult.
I didn't use any additional gear. The guidebook says to bring a few small cams. They may be useful between bolts 3 and 4 and 4 and 5 if you are shorter. For me, a fall before clipping bolt 4 would have been a hard swing into the wall below, and I couldn't reach bolt 5 from the ledge. I also had difficulty reaching some of the holds in bolts 6 to 7 section. I suspect those who are shorter are the ones who rate the climb 11. If you are taller, it will seem easier.
Hands down, the best route at Middle Tier. Three dimensional climbing, spicy runouts, cool transitions as you work around the arete... this route has it all. Way better, IMHO, than Strange Science, Riptide, or Freefall.

April 2011 is already here. With Easter being the next to last weekend this year, I'm a bit leery about what weather Mother Nature has in store for us. Check with the old timers about when to plant your garden; never before Easter!
Let's all take a minute to look around at the beautiful great outdoors and ponder on this; who could think there is no God!! I'm the lucky one that has a job that I love and I get to work with people of all shapes and sizes; men, women and children that all share the same enthusiasm for the outdoors as I do. Every morning I wake up and thank the Lord for allowing me to be here another day to enjoy the things that belong to him and that he placed on this earth for us to use. I wanna wish you all a happy Easter!
APRIL'S BEST BETS - The Speckled Trout bite is on; I'll be in search of the mighty elusive Gator Trout. After being somewhat dormant for the last three months these big Specks are looking for nourishment to build their row for the first spawn of 2011. Last year, it was Monday, April 5th when I caught the first big Speckled trout for 2010; she weighed 6 pounds and 4 oz. and was 27 inches long. She put up a great fight on the 8-pound test spinning outfit that I was using. She ate a six inch Bio bait Fork Tail Jerk Minnow in the shrimp pattern. I had it rigged with a Gamakatsu Skip Gap Hook with a fifteen inch piece of twelve pound test fluorocarbon leader tied to eight pound test Stren Sonic Braid line. It was right around noon time and we were working a grass flat on the north side of the Santa Rosa sound in about three foot of water. She was sitting there next to a pot hole waiting for something to swim by to ambush. We released her unharmed to help keep her good gene pool abundant, which in turn helps the Speckled Trout to continue flourishing. I average catching close to twenty five Specks over five pounds every season. I strongly encourage catch and release on these fish as they are indeed our future to the Speckled Trout population. The Santa Rosa Sound flats are teaming with schools of slot Red Fish right now. Big schools of 15 to 20 fish are in search of shrimp and crabs to fill there never ending appetite. Try free lining live shrimp on a Gamakatsu 1/0 inline circle hook. Next best thing is a 1/8oz gold Johnson Silver Minnow, worked slow to resemble a small crab trying to elude the fate of the jaws of the Spot Tail Bass. Then when the sun gets high overhead go to the docks and pitch your baits up close to the shadows. This is where they will be during the middle part of the day.
Down around the passes, the Sheepshead are eating everything that gets close to them. The big females have finished spawning and are hungry. Catching a nice mess of these fish should be fairly easy.
Out on the Beach be looking for Spanish Mackerel, Red Fish, Pompano, Sharks, Blue Fish, and a few Triple Tail. The mighty Cobia Run is about to bust wide open. The first of April is when the big push of fish should be showing up.
My prediction for the first Cobia of 2011 was close, I said March 8th, and the first Cobia was caught off Panama City Beach Pier on March 3rd. There were several other fish spotted over the next few days, but none caught till' a boat out of Destin caught one on March 10th.
Prepare your tackle, for after you hook a big fish it is impossible to retie your knot then!
April 2011 is already here. With Easter being the next to last weekend this year, I'm a bit leery about what weather Mother Nature has in store for us. Check with the old timers about when to plant your garden; never before Easter!

Ovator S-800 Loudspeaker
The Ovator S-800 is a true giant among loudspeakers. Not just in size and stature but in the innovative technology it uses and the musical performance that it achieves. With two new specially developed large 280mm flat-panel bass drive units and an 82mm flat-panel Balance Mode Radiator (BMR) in a 40 Litre enclosure, the Ovator S-800 is an imposing loudspeaker designed for larger than average listening rooms and for use with upper echelon Naim amplification. With bass extension down to 20Hz and maximum levels that can do full justice to the dynamic range of live music up close, the Ovator S-800 offers the ultimate in wide bandwidth and musical performance that cuts deep to the artistry and emotion of the performers.
For more technical detail please read the white papers available for the Ovator S-800.
Hardened floor spikes
Surgical grade, anti-magnetic, stainless steel M8 floor spikes define the vital mechanical connection between the speaker and the floor of the listening environment.
FEA modelled driver chassis
The Ovator bass drivers feature rigid paper cones, natural rubber surrounds and aluminium demodulations rings within their neodymium magnet systems.
The S-800 bass drivers additionally incorporate generous pole-piece ventilation. The linearity and resistance to compression of all Ovator models' bass drivers is outstanding.
Computer-modelled crossover
The crossover incorporates state of the art components including laminated and air-cored inductors, and metallised polypropylene capacitors.
Decoupling leaf spring
A steel leaf-spring provides the connection between the enclosure and plinth and decouples above 12Hz.
Die-cast plinth
The pressure die-cast plinth incorporates enclosure locations, housing for the crossover, and floor spike fittings with top-access adjustment.
Rigid multi-composite enclosure
The enclosure is constructed from a combination of 25mm and 50mm panels comprehensively braced to provide a rigid, non-resonant and low diffraction reference plane for the drivers. Selected panels also benefit from strategic mass-damping, and the internal bracing includes a division that creates separate loading volumes for each bass driver.
Computer-optimised bass driver
The Ovator S-800 features a new specially developed flat-panel bass driver that comprises a rigid paper cone and natural rubber surround together with aluminium demodulation rings within the magnet system and generous pole-piece ventilation. Its linearity and resistance to compression is outstanding.
BMR Isolating Enclosure
The BMR is mounted in a 12.7mm wall thickness extruded aluminium cylinder nested within the main enclosure. The cylinder, extending the full depth of the enclosure, is gradient-filled with damping materials selected through technical analysis and critical listening.
BMR driver
The new refined flat-panel BMR driver comprises a honeycomb diaphragm driven by a voice-coil immersed in a twin-neodymium magnet system optimised for linearity through finite-element analysis. The pressure die-cast chassis provides the rigidity necessary to ensure that every last note of musical detail is accurately reproduced.
BMR Suspension
The module comprising the BMR and its enclosure is suspended within the main enclosure by twin circular duralumin plate leaf-springs - one at the front of the enclosure and one at the rear. The resulting suspension system decouples above 4Hz - more than six octaves below the BMR pass-band.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
Drawing on over five years of research, the Ovator S-800 represents a significant step forward in Naim's balanced mode radiator (BMR) design pioneered by the S-400 and S-600. The Ovator S-800's refined BMR constitutes its most visible technological advance, yet the performance of this loudspeaker is equally the result of painstaking refinement in numerous elements of design, construction, and material selection.
The loudspeaker uses two new finely tuned, custom-designed flat-panel bass drivers to handle the lowest frequencies. These are accompanied by the purpose-engineered and painstakingly refined BMR unit. This unit's unique dispersion characteristics and freedom from crossover discontinuities, along with its vastly wide bandwidth, allow the S-800 to deliver a performance never before realised with traditional technology. The freedom from distortion and coloration achieved is truly ground-breaking and revelatory to experience.
One vital element in the design of a high performance bass driver is its chassis. Great rigidity and an open structure are vital but potentially conflicting requirements, so the pressure die-cast bass driver chassis of the Ovator S-800 incorporates a triangulated framework, borne of finite-element analysis, that ensures both rigidity and unimpeded air passage.
The Ovator S-800 crossover network is housed within the plinth and divides the audio signal between bass drivers and BMR with fourth order acoustic slopes at 380Hz. Each component selection is the result of intense technical analysis and listening, and the component arrangement is fundamentally informed by the layout and earthing techniques developed for Naim power amplifiers. A crossover module suspension system and individual component decoupling ensures any chance of microphony is minimised. Conversion to either bi-amp or tri-amp active drive is easily achieved through removal of the crossover module.
Just as much as it is BMR technology, it is the fine detail and the sum of the parts - the result of decades of speaker experience and development - that makes the Ovator S-800 so remarkable.
Balanced Mode Radiator Explained
The Ovator S-800 Balanced Mode Radiator (BMR) is the result of intense effort in both development and manufacture. Not only does the design of such a driver demand great intellectual understanding, but consistent manufacture requires extraordinarily fine specification and control of the physical characteristics of its components.
The underlying concept of the BMR is to engineer a practical implementation of the theoretically wide bandwidth and linear acoustic output of an unconstrained vibrating diaphragm. In practice, this is achieved by attaching balancing masses to a constrained diaphragm in carefully calculated locations.
Such 'mode balancing' modifies the diaphragm's vibrational behaviour so that it simultaneously operates in pistonic and vibrational modes to generate wide-bandwidth acoustic output with a flat frequency response, consistent dispersion and low distortion. Thanks both to the BMR's exceptional inherent performance and to the absence of any mid/high frequency crossover discontinuity, it takes just a moment's listening to appreciate the Ovator S-800's breakthrough levels of musical coherence, timing and clarity.

By LAWRENCE MESSINA
Associated Press
CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia's first so-called super political action committee is considering its post-2012 election options after winning a temporary federal court ruling allowing its donors to contribute unlimited amounts.
The PAC, Stay the Course West Virginia, was one of several groups that funded independent ad campaigns last year. It also filed a challenge of state campaign laws meant to regulate independent expenditure PACs. The lawsuit prompted an August order from U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Johnston that temporarily blocked $1,000-per-election cap on contributions to such groups. The case remains is, with Stay the Course seeking a final ruling that permanently strikes down the contribution limit and prevents county prosecutors from enforcing it.
Spokesman Jason Parsons says the group hasn't decided whether it will take part in future elections. But it considers its 2012 effort a success, as it was formed to help re-elect Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. After the Democrat won a special election the previous year for an unexpired term, voters gave Tomblin a full four-year term in November. His inauguration ceremony is Monday.
"As the state's first super PAC, it was a unique opportunity to participate in the political process," Parsons said in a statement. "We were proud to be able to engage more West Virginians in the process and pave the way for more involvement in the future."
The group is registered both as a PAC and with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 527 group, referring to the relevant section the tax code. Such groups accepted unlimited donations, and several operated in West Virginia before the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling known as Citizens United cleared the way for federal super PACs.
Stay the Course, which invoked Citizens United in its challenge, reported raising $73,480 and spending $64,330 during the election cycle. Most of its funds came in contributions that exceeded the suspended cap. The largest, of $25,000, came from International Industries, the main company of James "Buck" Harless. While a longtime supporter of Tomblin's, Harless also is a major GOP donor and was a top fundraiser for former President George W. Bush.
Another company, Pipeline Energy Group of Parkersburg, contributed $10,000. Just more than $39,000 of the Stay the Course's spending went to Rainmaker Media Group, a Democratic-aligned consulting and ad firm, according to its campaign finance filings. It devoted $10,547 toward radio and online ads that ran just before the election.
Several other groups funded independent expenditure ads. Those include:
