After a terrible first half which basically featured a Karim Benzema goal and nothing else following by an equally terrible opening to the second, Valencia vs. Real Madrid at the Mestalla did something strange. It turned surprising. Sure, there was just as much bad blood in the last half hour as there was during the fifteen minutes, but it translated to good football and amusing little tiffs rather than just the tiffs, which are far less endearing on their own.
As boring as the first half was, Benzema's goal merits a mention - a set piece from inside the Madrid half needed just three touches to find its way to the back of Diego Alves's net. The first was from Xabi Alonso, who launched a lovely long ball straight into the path of Benzema, who took it in his stride with his first touch before ripping a shot past Diego Alves with his second. It was excellent, and the rest of the half was not.
It looked as though we were heading for a boring 1-0 draw after the opening period of the second half featured mostly pushing and petulant little fouls, but the game suddenly sprang to life when Sergio Ramos headed in an inch-perfect corner to make the score 2-0. Valencia replied instantly, Roberto Soldado supplying an inch-perfect finish past Marcelo's outstretch leg after Iker Casillas could do little more with Daniel Parejo's initial shot than parry it to the waiting striker.
Then it was Real Madrid's turn to score again, Cristiano Ronaldo taking advantage of a misjudgement by Diego Alves to curl home from a silly angle, a goal which caused Jose Mourinho to mount Jose Callejon with what looked very much like the utmost of joy. But, in this crazy game, not even a 3-1 lead was safe, and Soldado somehow managed to ghost onto the end of an acrobatic Pablo Hernandez pullback and bring the score up to 3-2. Suddenly there was tension again, and the last few minutes of the match were... frenetic.
Soldado grabbed his third goal in spectacular fashion in the ninetieth minute only to be ruled offside. A late free kick say Diego Alves in Casillas's penalty area in the final minute of the four added on, and only a spectacular save and the crossbar stopped the ball from finding the back of the net. Seconds later and an inbound shot struck a still-prone Alonso on the arm before bouncing away to safety, causing the Valencia players to go berserk demanding a penalty. None was forthcoming, the corner was cleared, and Real Madrid had notched their 11th straight victory in all competitions. They've had easier wins.

UFO's are actually often seen in China, it seems the Chinese are quite good at spotting the circular flying discs, but not quite as good as their American brethren.
But its not a flying saucer that is hitting CCT headlines today, its a five door UFO that's stirring up the trouble. Jonway UFO started their car making business with a first generation 3 door Toyota RAV4 clone. Sales have been low from what we can gather, but we do think the three door UFO is rather smart, if a little shabby on the inside.
The new UFO, a five door version, takes off from where the old UFO left off. Its a small compact SUV, this time it has five doors, and looks a lot like the currently imported RAV4 (but soon to be domestically made by FAW-Toyota) Even the crease on the rear tyre cover has been incorperated into the new UFO's design, for comparison a picture of the tyre cover on the 2008 RAV4 can be found here, a front picture can be found here. As the 'Made in China' brand tries to pull itself away from the days of cloning products and reselling them under a different name, companies like UFO come along and add more fuel to the fire!
The 5 door UFO's engine is currently unknown, but it is expected to be of Mitsubishi stock. Price, or launch date are still unknown. With FAW-Toyota on the verge of starting RAV4 production in China, CCT thinks that FAW may put the slap down on UFO before this model reaches the showroom.

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- Years ago while I was a master of divinity student at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., I took a New Testament Survey class taught by a man who was a notorious "moderate" among Southern Baptists.
This professor had been fired from Southern Seminary in 1958 because of his views on the nature of Scripture, and he was teaching adjunctively at Southeastern that year (1987-1988) as a substitute for one of the regular faculty members who was on sabbatical. Many believe that the teaching invitation extended to him by the then-current administration of Southeastern was an act of protest, as it were, against the Conservative Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention. What better way to thumb one's nose at the conservatives than to hire someone who had been fired by Southern Seminary for doctrinal reasons nearly three decades earlier?
Knowing nothing about the history of this professor, I enrolled in my first semester of classes, including New Testament Survey taught by the professor. It did not take long for me to realize that he had a particular agenda. Given the circumstances in the Southern Baptist Convention at the time it was not unusual for the question of the truthfulness of Scripture to be raised in class. However, this particular professor took every opportunity to disparage those who believed that the Scriptures were inerrant. One particular occasion was especially memorable. While discussing the birth of Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew, he paused for a moment, slammed his hand loudly on the lectern, and declared:
"For those of you who believe that the Bible contains no errors, look at this -- Luke says that Jesus was born in a stable while Matthew says that He was born in a house!"
This outburst shocked the class, not only because of its abruptness but also because of its absurdity.
Anyone with any knowledge of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke knows that Matthew never claims that Jesus was "born" in a house. Matthew simply records the fact of Jesus' birth and then immediately transitions to the account of the wise men traveling from the east to Jerusalem and their meeting with Herod. Only after their meeting with Herod do they visit Jesus in Bethlehem -- more than sufficient time for Joseph to secure more suitable lodgings for his family.
Furthermore, when one considers the fact that Herod ordered the slaughter of all children two years old and younger, one should certainly conclude that the visit of the wise men could have been as much as two years after the birth of Jesus -- again, more than enough time for Joseph to find other lodgings for Mary, Jesus and himself. Matthew and Luke chose to provide slightly different details, but no matter how one looks at the differences between these two accounts, there is no reason whatsoever to conclude that these two accounts are contradictory -- not even if one is predisposed to assume that there are errors in the text of Scripture, as my professor certainly was.
This incident taught me much about Scripture and the interpretation of Scripture. First, it taught me that the attitude of the interpreter is central to the proper interpretation of Scripture. Since my professor was on a mission seeking errors in the text, he found errors everywhere, even where no other reasonable person would see an error. On the other hand, someone approaching the Scriptures with an attitude of trust, knowing that God would not mislead us in His Word, would never reach the conclusion reached by my professor.
Second, the sheer absurdity of the professor's interpretation that day taught me something even more important -- if I am going to claim that there are errors in the text of Scripture, then I must first claim that there are no errors in my interpretation of that text. There are really only two alternatives when asking whether the Scriptures have errors. The first alternative is to conclude that my interpretation is valid and without any error and that I am right to conclude that this particular text contains an error.
In other words, in order for me to claim that the Scriptures contain errors, I must first claim inerrancy for my own interpretation. The other alternative is to conclude that I might be mistaken in my interpretation of the text and it is therefore impossible for me to conclude that this text has an error until I have inerrant knowledge of the biblical languages, the historical background, other events not recorded by this particular narrator, any unique idioms that might have been employed by this biblical writer, as well as inerrant knowledge of the political, social, legal, cultural, familial, geographical, topological, and ethnic setting of the text -- just to name a few.
Given these two alternatives, it is clear that the decision of the interpreter is ultimately a spiritual decision. Either I claim omniscience for my own interpretation or I humbly admit that my own knowledge is limited and trust that God will never mislead me in His Word. For this interpreter the decision is clear. Every day I am confronted by my own limitations. I of all people could never claim to have inerrant knowledge of Scripture, much less the historical and cultural background underlying the text. Frankly, it is frightening to consider the sheer audacity required for someone to declare that a particular text contains an error. No! This interpreter is not going to make that mistake. This is one reason among many why I believe that the Scriptures are inerrant.

Financially Speaking
John Spoto
---- — Today's low-yield environment has left investors frustrated and searching for a reasonable return on their money. Seniors who rely on their portfolio income to help fund spending needs are especially vulnerable.
Conventional sources of income such as certificates of deposits and money market funds yield almost nothing. Bond yields, while slightly higher, come with increased interest rate risk, which threatens to drive down the value of the underlying investments once rates begin to rise.
In an attempt to generate more income, many are turning to complex investments promising higher returns. They are doing so, however, without conducting the due diligence required to understand what they are buying into and the risks they are assuming.
Over the last 12 months retail investors have poured tens of billions of dollars into high-yield products, including junk bonds, variable annuities, master limited partnerships, non-traded real estate and loan securities, closed-end funds and other structured or financially engineered products. To the yield-starved investor, the lure of higher returns can be irresistible, especially when framed by commission-driven salespeople who don't understand the investment and do not adequately disclose the risks and unfavorable terms they entail.
Those in search of greater yield can almost always find it. To earn it, however, they must be willing to accept the risk that not only may the investment fail to deliver the expected income but also may fail to return the original principal. The following example illustrates the point.
The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds is currently just over 2.5 percent. This compares to yields of over 8 percent and 12 percent respectively on comparable term Greek and Nigerian bonds. Most investors would be uncomfortable buying these foreign securities regardless of the promised returns because of the high probability of default.
They understand that the "promised" yield means nothing if the underlying investment is wiped out. In other words, promised or expected returns tell just half the story. We have to know what kind and amount of risk we are underwriting before we can judge whether the investment makes sense. For some reason the same analytical approach is not taken when evaluating many other high-yield investment products.
There is a fundamental relationship in the capital markets between risk and return. In general, investors are risk-averse, so in order to attract capital, riskier investments must offer higher returns to compensate for the increased probability of loss. Since issuers of securities are sophisticated financiers, they don't overpay investors for the use of their money. They will only offer the minimum yield necessary to attract buyers. In other words, the opportunity to earn a higher return comes with commensurate risk.
Sophisticated investors have the skills and resources to evaluate the risk and return characteristics of specific securities and businesses. Only after a thorough analysis can they determine if the investment is consistent with the goals of the portfolio and if they are adequately compensated for the risks they are asked to bear.
However, even after careful analysis, in some cases these investors sustain significant losses. The reality is that the average individual possesses no such skill in evaluating investments. Instead, these products are purchased on the advice of salespeople with a vested interest without proper investigation or a clear understanding of the risks, expenses and onerous terms that usually accompany them. If investors followed the advice "don't buy what you don't understand," sales of most of these products would fall dramatically.

Graduate assistantships and research assistantships are available in the Industrial and Systems Engineering Department. For a graduate assistantship or a graduate research assistantship, 20 hours of work per week during the whole semester is expected. The department also offers a limited number of Graduate Recruitment Scholarship (GRS) contracts which require 6 hours of work per week.
Questions concerning these may be directed to the ISE Graduate Chair or the Department Chair. Department needs, special skills and capabilities of the applicants and the availability of funds will determine to whom such awards are made.
International students should be aware that the ability to communicate in oral (Ohio Speak Test) and written form is a primary factor considered in the awarding of teaching assistantships.
Teaching assistantships, research assistantships and tuition scholarships are available to students who have an earned undergraduate GPA of 3.00 or above or have a 3.33 average or better on graduate course work.
Students who are on academic probation, taking courses in the Ohio Program in Intensive English, or who have been admitted conditionally are not eligible for appointment to graduate assistantships.Beyond the first semester, continuation of assistantships will depend upon students progressing satisfactorily towards completion of their degrees and also availability of funds.

CHAMPLAIN — The Town of Champlain's draft amended zoning law includes changes to provisions for storage and use of travel trailers.
Scott Allen of AES Northeast, who served as a consultant on the project, said the changes allow a clearer understanding of the allowed occupancy and storage of such campers.
"It really is less restrictive than what the old ordinance said," he said.
Town of Champlain Codes Enforcement Officer Michael Tetreault said infractions of the existing rule have become more of an issue, with increasing complaints. He said he has been holding off until the new law is in place.
"Once we have the new law going forward, that's the one I'm going to enforce," he said.
Previously, the town zoning ordinance stated no travel trailer located outside a travel-trailer park could be connected to water, sewer or electrical utilities except for a temporary 15-day period. In addition, a travel trailer could not be inhabited or used for sleeping or eating quarters for more than 15 days per year.
The third provision stated travel trailers could not be stored on a property except that of the owner and with an existing residential structure on that property.
The draft zoning law says a travel trailer can be inhabited only if a permit is received from the town. That permit is valid for a maximum of 120 days, and only one permit per parcel can be granted per year.
No fee for the permit was established with the draft version of the law.
After 120 days, the trailer must be removed from the property for a minimum of 245 days before another permit can be obtained.
The trailer must be connected to adequate water, sewer and electrical service while occupied. The Clinton County Health Department is responsible for certification of wastewater systems, Tetreault said, but many trailers have self-contained units.

Twickenham run in a cricket score to beat Haringey
12:27pm Monday 19th November 2012 in Sport
Push over: Twickenham forward Jordan Fyles on the charge in Saturday's one-sided clash with Haringey
Head coach Clive See was left licking his lips as Twickenham showed no mercy in putting London Division Three North West bottom-club Haringey Rhinos to the sword on Saturday.
The hosts, inspired by captain for the day Dom Brown at number 10, won 123-0 at Parkfields to keep the pressure on league leaders Old Priorians as they chase promotion.
Kicker Brown, who scored three tries, set a new club record for points scored in a game as he collected a personal haul of 48, while Randall Clarke also stood out with four tries himself.
See's men are second in the table, but are only four points adrift of top slot and now with a significant points difference advantage thanks to the weekend win.
And the Twickenham chief insisted there would be no room for complacency.
"They weren't the greatest, but it is league rugby and you can only play what is in front of you," said the coach.
"They caught us on a good day and we caught them on a bad day and I guess that's what happens. Hopefully the points will make a big difference at the end of the season.
"We'll certainly not be sitting back on this. They'll be training hard on Tuesday and Thursday again and hopefully we can carry that sort of form in to the next game."
Twickenham travel to Hithcin this weekend.

Sound mediocre to ya? I bet you need better hardware!
by mu2freighter on August 20, 2007
Pros: Fabulous sound, handy wired remote with phone jack
Cons: Same as other folks', can't adjust satellite speaker angle, short cords, no wall mounts.
Summary: OK, I do have to acknowledge that the people who've criticized these speakers have a point...a separate tweeter would've been nice, as the single driver in each ...
Summary: OK, I do have to acknowledge that the people who've criticized these speakers have a point...a separate tweeter would've been nice, as the single driver in each satellite puts out but one 'set' range.
That said, that range is VERY versatile, if your hardware is capable of fine adjustments. I'm also in agreement that if you're stuck with low end integrated sound on your machine, these may not be the speakers for you. I believe most of the lousy reviews of these speakers are coming from people who are stuck with an inability to adjust their output (I suspect it's 'cause they have cheeseball hardware). There are quite a few of these bad reviews, and they worried me, but in hindsight I ended up doing loads more research than was necessary.
Funny enough, I just got a new PC, and it actually uses integrated sound itself...but my machine was built from the motherboard up by an engineer who does this for a hobby, and believe me, this is no crappy 'welded in' sound circuitry...it even has optical outputs should I care to use them, and uses an nVidia audio controller through its RealTek sound manager.
It's got more EQ presets than you can shake a stick at, plus scads of reverb effects. I do generally switch between EQ settings and such depending upon what I'm doing; games, music and movies all like different setups.
When I first got these, I tried them with bare, unadulterated settings, and yes, as some have said, the mids were subdued, and the bass was a bit boomy and muddy. This reminds me of all the bad reviews I read when researching headphones; the Sony MDR-V6 cans that I decided upon are studio monitor phones and are very neutral in terms of sound. What you put in is exactly what you get out, no enhancements at all.
When you add some adjustments...well, all I can say is these are fantastic!
Listening to classical music, harpsichords sound as they ought to, warm, and rich. Cello notes resonate beautifully, violins are crisp and clear. Put on Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, and the subwoofer really shows its stuff...the percussive wave of cannons firing hits you like explosions at a fireworks display, deep and hard but very tight, not a bit muddy.
Highs are best appreciated by putting on some electronic music, while obviously synthetic, at the upper ranges the notes are sharp as a knife.
Vocals are terrific, too...for the best test I could think of, I put on the Queen Of The Night aria from Mozart's Magic Flute, and I thought it sounded phenominal.
So much for music.
Gaming: I play a lot of Half Life 2, and the in game sounds are terrific, gunfire, explosions, and (most importantly) footsteps are spot on. Part of these speakers' appeal is that wired remote...my headphones actually sound better in it than when plugged into it rather than the front audio jack on my machine, and of course having the large volume dial right at hand is mighty handy, whether using the cans or the speakers. For gaming...A+.
Movies, too, sound great. True, being 2.1 there are no rear channels, but right now I haven't the budget for a full blown wireless surround system, and no room for a wired one, but the Z-2300s will do nicely till I can obtain a better rig. Add a touch of reverb for some echo, and you get a great theater-like effect.
All in all, I'm thrilled with the Z-2300 speakers. They get a 9 for the same reasons others have given, the non-adjustable angle of the satellites, fairly short wires, and no provision for wall mounting. Otherwise, I gotta agree with the CNET editors: if you need a set of 2.1 speakers, buy these.

Good, but not great
by fudgeethewhale on April 26, 2007
Pros: This system is Loud!
Cons: Poor separation of Highs and Mids.

Summary: I bought both the Klipsch and the Logitech Z-2300 2.1 systems at the same time so I could do a true test for the best. Other then when it comes to sheer volume the Klipsch system is superior, yet the Klipsch still cranks to about 80% of what you can get from the Z-2300 system.
The Klipsch sytem offers a clean hi-fi experience where you can hear every detail in the music you play. You even get the impression that there is a center satelite speaker where vocals and other mid tones emerge...even my 10-year-old son noticed the illusion of sound. The Z-2300, even though it cranks, the mids and highs tend to sound mushed together creating a nasal toned distortion... The Z-2300 is going back to the store. The Z-2300 sounds like a loud Boom-Box stereo and lacks the hi-fi characteristics you find in the Klipsch 2.1 Promedia system.
The bottom line is if you want a system designed to cater a party environment where no one is paying attention to quality then get the Logitech Z-2300, but if sound quality really matters to you go with the Klipsch. Besides, the Klipsch can also hold it's own at a party.
I'm quite surprised that CNET chose the Z-2300 as the best 2.1 system...someone should start using Qtips!

Terrific sound, looks and value

Pros: Sound, looks, size, great remote, setup
Cons: speakers aren't adjustable

You will really miss those mids in the end!
by helsinki37 on January 31, 2011
Pros: These are great for what they are made for - PC listening. I've enjoyed them and don't regret buying them for a minute. But after marvelling at their crystal clarity in the range they perform best at, I've had to accept THAT range is rather limited.
Cons: No mids. I read this when i first bought these, and rather painfully accepted it to be true on the first day. I've lived with it and it's not been terrible - they are PC speakers after all. But they don't come anywhere near my Shure SE530's.
Summary: If you want a sound that reaches your ears from less than a half a meter and still fills and you also want a sound that has a FULL bass, ...
Summary: If you want a sound that reaches your ears from less than a half a meter and still fills and you also want a sound that has a FULL bass, then these will do you. They have enough mid-range to convey the basic sound of a track and more than enough bass to MOVE you. But the sound isn't real. The heart is missing from the tracks - the mids. I have loved these speakers and I think they are more than adequate for PC listening, i.e. YouTube, Spotify (while you surf) and your iPod collection. But the minute you stop your multitasking and really LISTEN to the music, then you realise, all too painfully, that the mids are just hollow. I mean, what can you expect from a 2.5 inch woofer?
Lack of size and money always brings compromises. In this case, the size compromise is giving you a solid and warm mid-range. For someone who isn't a genuine audiophile, you might not even miss it, so BIG is the 'smile' on these speakers (we're talking EQ smile, here), but for anyone who likes the warmth of a saxaphone or the lush warmth of a Nora Jones vocal, then these speakers will leave you feeling like you got a plastic replica.
I sing with a band. I mix our tracks and I've tried using these speakers. They fail miserably. They don't translate at all. The mid-range is a complete hit and miss, the highs are completely unpredictable (they roll off dramatically from 2KH upwards) and the bass is also unpredicable because it's just not tight enough.
In other words, if you need speakers for any real audio listening, you just have to think more seriously about what you are buying and why.
These are great for what they are made for - PC listening. I've enjoyed them and don't regret buying them for a minute. But after marvelling at their crystal clarity in the range where they perform, I've had to accept that that range is rather limited all the same.

For those about to ROCK
by museman2112 on July 20, 2010
Pros: Allows you to really ROCK and feel it - movies, music, etc.....no kidding around
Cons: It does not have the IMMEDIATE mid-range and total spectrum clarity that 'other' systems do right off the bat
Summary: I am an extreme music/multimedia enthusiast...I won't say audiophile because I have never had the money to really do it right....But, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Hair ...
Summary: I am an extreme music/multimedia enthusiast...I won't say audiophile because I have never had the money to really do it right....But, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Hair Bands, Symphony ( huge Bach fan) So... I purchased the Z-2300's a couple of weeks ago...and if you care to read on, I will provide you with several lines of evidence that suggest that THESE speakers are 2nd to NONE in this price bracket.
Seven years ago I began to travel extensively with my wife. As a result, I sold my Sony component rack system and Cerwin Vega LG-15's as well as other acoustic goodies...all for a set of Bose MediaMates ($99 pr.). Wow, Bose...clarity....yes....but full sound...( ie bottom end) ...almost...or not....and for a while I found that depending on placement, (and we're talking RADICAL room placement) I could use room acoustics to bolster the sound those babies put out....but NEVER to my full satisfaction. A few years later I GAVE them to my appreciative Father-in-law on a trip home and graduated to a pair of Audio Engine A-2's. Well, at twice the cost of the MediaMate's, the A-2's were, in my opinion, twice the sound. OK....right? Well...After a blown speaker right out of the box was replaced...I took em' on the road, but after 6 months of RADICAL room placements to try achieve FULL sound, I was nearing my tolerant end to the A-2's. The fact is, I travel alot: my music & my movies are on an external HD - and if I can replicate their artistry and true effect while away from 'home', I am truly lacking nothing in the recreation dept. The A-2's failed me the day I came home and the master speaker (w/the amp in it) was blown...for NO understandable reason. AudioEngine's customer service is 2nd rate to calling India and asking for help, (no offense, but they, (AudioEngine) are NOT offering professionalism to the caliber that their product attempts to represent.
So I researched extensively for days prior to choosing. The fact is, I was tired of having to play Mr. Sound Engineer/ Acoustic decorator just to get acceptable range out of my speakers so I could sit back and rock out if I wanted....or watch a movie and really experience it!!
So.....let me tell you (faithful readers...this has been quite dragged out, I admit) these Z-2300's are IT. Let me qualify that...........this is important.......read on:
When I got them and hooked them up, I was initially........INITIALLY....let down. The clarity wasn't there. It's true. But you know what? You know that 'break-in' period of? The 2-3 days of soft listening to adjust them.....blah....blah....blah! My friend, this is a DUAL break in:
1. Yes, your speakers are waking up to the reality that their life is about to consist of rocking out...better deal with it...and stretch out a bit too.... OK.....but!!!
2. The prime listener's EAR... is also adjusting to the spectrum available to him/her.
THUS, my first 2 days with the Z-2300's was one of slight disappointment....not because of lack of bass....I mean come on, the bass was SO gratifying - it was/is ridiculous. The mids and highs just weren't there - initially. And, truth be told: The spectrum of sound put out by the satellites provided with the Z-2300's are somewhat poor...yes, limited mid-bass/mid-range....( of course if you know how to run an EQ - no biggie...we can 'make it right [ take my advice, and read on] ) especially standing them up side-by-side with Bose or Audio Engine's clarity.
So.....here is MY final take on all this:
I prefer the Z-2300's 2 to 1 over the Audio Engine's A2's! And 3:1 over the Bose MediaMates. Here it is...the down and dirty: these audiophile folks are all like, "oh this system is lacking mid range, the bass all sounds the same, and the other thing!" Well, ya know what? I am a 33 year old dude who rocks out harder than most....bro, let me tell you, I rip it up at least 3 times a week...and push my system to what it can do for me - because THAT IS MY RECREATION....I rock out - or I watch a movie with the intent on EXPERIENCING the movie - Fact is: with my earlier speakers, I was able to do this to some extent....but NEVER to my satisfaction. I'm sorry, but I was grew up in a time where ROCK was LOUD and AWESOME!! Sure I dig an occasional bass track or some classic hip hop....and these 2300's tear it up - huge! But I listen to Rush, ok? And while sure, Neil Peart's cymbal's aren't quite as piercing into my head as I would like - the mid-low and low end is SO full and wonderful that I have fallen in love again with all my old stuff ~ because it rocks so hard now ~ I'm a rocker, people....and if you are too.....
If you are looking for clarity and audio precision so that you can experience all the nuances of your media - than my man, the Z-2300's are not for you - M-Audio, Bose, among others are calling you. However, for the rest of you..........for those about to ROCK?......
Need I say more?

good for the price cant expect anymore from
by ThXsUbS on December 23, 2009
Pros: Really nice highs, really nice clean lows, lacks the mid tone. Nice powerful subwoofer, easy access wired remote. easy to set up. 200 watts RMS 400 watts MAX, under $200, i highly recommend it. good loud sound quality. Extremly nice subwoofer quality
Cons: Lacks the mid tone, at times subwoofer overpowers the sattllites. cannot complain for a powerful speaker system under $200.

Summary: Well i believe logitech could have made the sattllites allot more powerful to cater with the subwoofer. The only thing i find that this system lacks are the mids. appart from that the speaker system is really good, nice and easy to set up and enjoy, bass is fantastic really nice clean bass frequences i believe its the subwoofer that really makes the system. If you want thunderous bass ear piercing highs and low end mids go with the logitech Z-2300. you are getting 200 watts RMS, 400 watts MAX power, what more can you expect from this system fantastic. 2 thumbs up to logitech. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! :D

Amazing Speakers for the Value

Summary: These are a set of excellent speakers that deliver amazing Bass and SQ for only $99. Some may say $99 is too much for speakers, but this can be comparable to a $400 Bose system for 1/4 of the price. Hook it up with a decent sound card and you are ready to rumble!

Terrific Speakers!
by bachbeet on June 26, 2008
Pros: Easy setup; great fidelity; easy to use remote; I especially like the simple on/off button
Cons: None so far

Summary: My Creative I-trigue subwoofer failed after a brief use. They failed to respond to my inquiries. i read the reviews for these and "pulled the trigger." They arrived quickly from Newegg. They are bigger than they seem in the pics. The subwoofer is larger and the whole system was easy to set up. I really like that there is a simple on/off button rather than a dial that one turns to both turn it on and off and to increase/decrease volume. That way, I can set it to a desired everyday level and not have to adjust it each time after turning it off and back on. I also like the separate controls for the satellites and the subwoofer (the i-trigue didn't have this either). The fidelity is better than the i-trigue and is really excellent overall. I am very pleased and these speakers are definitely worth the price (which is actually quite reasonable).

How to improve midtone and treble
by edward.ca on June 1, 2008
Pros: Amazing power, quality. Very good price
Cons: Midtone and treble need some improvements - see my comment

Summary: Many people here complain about lack of midtone and treble. Although it was not a top priority for me I agree that this was a problem. Eventually I tried to fix it and replaced satellite speakers with those from my previous Sony home audio (which was a garbage). IT WORKED! The sound was really improved. So go ahead and try this way. Only make sure that speakers that you want to try have same impedance to avoid damaging the amplifier!
And here goes my opinion. I'm in love with this system, especially with super deep powerful bass and can't believe it's available at so low price. It's obviously a fault of audio manufacturers that tries hard to make any system below 500 bucks a garbage - to make us pay more. This system is probably the best choice for people who use their PC as a main video & audio device and satisfied with good old stereo. Personally I'd hate arranging 5 speakers

pleasurable pounding precise sound!
by dazloe on April 21, 2008
Pros: shakes windows, handles all sorts of music from trance to slayer.
Cons: needs tweaking on an equalizer, sub is bigger than my printer.
Summary: this is one big beast! i was thinking about getting the z-4 but for a little more cash i could get the z-2300, am i glad i made the choice! ...
Summary: this is one big beast! i was thinking about getting the z-4 but for a little more cash i could get the z-2300, am i glad i made the choice! it blew my expectations away!
the first test was trance music, right out of the box, into the computer and away we go. setup was easy as pie. without any tweaking it sounded awesome. this thing makes your chest thump! and the bass didn't suffocate the satellites so all the intricate sounds were clear. This sounded fantastic in the lows and midranges as well as well as the chest thumping highs.
next test i tried something more rocky, say, nirvana.
it needed tweaking for this. the distorted guitars sounded a bit 'muddy' if you will. i needed to bring definition into the satellites using itunes equalizer before i was happy. after a few minutes of tweaking i got the definition i needed. after a bit of tweaking everything becomes really clear, i can hear all the different parts for the drums, guitar, bass and everything. the vocals blew me away, i knew Kurt Cobains voice was good, but this puts a whole new perspective on vocals.
i also gave metallica a spin, the z-2300 finds it hard to define this kind of distortion, i spent about ten minutes tweaking, but when i got it man'o'man was it awesome! it caught every note of the guitar solo with more precision than i have heard on some surround sound systems. both nirvana and metallica sounded great in all the ranges although in the low range i had to tune the bass down to allow everything else to come through.
next test i tried some acoustic songs by bob dylan. this was more of a test for the satellite speakers since there isn't much bass in dylan songs. let me tell you they rung loud and clear, the acoustics felt really lively and i felt like i was with bob in the recording studio! (maybe not that good, but very clean, clear and precise) sounded great on all volumes no tweaking needed at all!
next test, rap, some good ol' D12.
clear vocals, drums are fantastic, bass is so good i even considered it arousing. the snares and high-hats in rap were brought out. this also needed some tweaking on the equalizer, not to much but i want each genre perfected!
now for a movie test, i think alien vs. predator 2 will do the job. gunshots, explosions, aliens growling! all LOUD, CLEAR and VIBRATING. the use of orchestra in this film is amazing, i had never noticed it before. the z-2300 really brings out some of the sounds you don't hear on other systems. Movies are incredible on this system...who needs surround sound when you can save $500 and buy this?
to conclude: this is one of the more 'favorable' purchases i have made trying to find audio perfection. other reviews stated the low and midranges were not so good. they are fine once you spend some time tweaking them, move the speakers around, experiment with an equalizer, most media players have them. i have covered a broad range of music styles and the z-2300 has shined in every one. movies are a blast through this thing, more fun than going to the cinema if you ask me! one last thing,
the SUB. IS. MASSIVE. so be prepared to have alot of spare room. BTW it looks really good to, the pictures on the net do it no justice, this is what held me back a little bit, but looking at it now it complements my imac setup in a big way.

Best Buy said Thursday its comparable same store sales fell during the holiday shopping season, showing the company hasn't "killed showrooming" as much as CEO Hubert Joly said in the weeks before Black Friday.
Joly said "an intensely promotional holiday season is what unfolded" during the holiday shopping season, leading to a 0.8 percent drop in sales for the 9 weeks ended Jan. 4 – still an improvement from the 1.7 percent drop in the prior year.
To fight their online competitors, Best Buy dropped and matched prices, despite having higher operating costs due to their physical presence.
"Looking ahead, our holiday performance reinforces our resolve and our sense of urgency around our transformation," Joly said, laying out the following priorities for the next year:
1. Cost cutting
2. Online sales growth
3. Improved customer experience in-store, online, over mobile, etc
4. Personalized, targeted marketing
5. Geek Squad growth

"2012 has been a big year for Big Freedia, with appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Last Call with Carson Daly, not to mention the release of the Big Freedia Booty Battle Video Game. The up-and-coming, high-tech, international dance-music sensation has been touring extensively while working on her highly anticipated debut LP, Da Idol, due out later this year. The self-proclaimed "undisputed queen diva of bounce music," New Orleans' very own Big Freedia makes her way from the Big Easy to the City of Angels for another one of her unforgettable shows."
Big Freedia (pronounced "Freeda") is the stage name of Freddie Ross, an American musician known for work in the New Orleans genre of hip hop called bounce music. She has been credited with helping popularize the genre, which was largely underground since developing in the early 1990s. Big Freedia is an accomplished "Bounce" Rapper who lives in New Orleans and performs six or more times a week in various venues throughout the city. Bounce is an original urban music rising up from the intimate and fun-loving nature of the housing projects which dominate the city's street culture. "Sissy Bounce" is the informal name for a derivative of Bounce that has risen to prominence in recent years and features explicitly gay and cross-dressing musicians and themes. Big Freedia is at the forefront of this movement and has had several New Orleans hit singles such as "Gin in My System" and "Azz Everywhere!" from her albums "An Ha, Oh Yeah" (1999) and "Queen Diva" (2003). Freedia began her musical career almost 15 years ago at the Walter L. Cohen High School in New Orleans, where she was enlisted as choir director from her Sophomore to Senior years. She sees her performance as a Bounce artist as an extension of this work, often interacting in a call and response/teacher and student, fashion with her audiences. She recently developed a musical about her life entitled "Catch That Beat" with producer Lucky Johnson. The sold out first run of "Catch That Beat" featured cameo appearances by a who's who of New Orleans Bounce artists alongside the story of Freedia's upbringing in New Orleans 3rd Ward. She performs in various venues (often decorated by her own event production business) and has recently begun traveling outside the city with the encouragement and support of the New Orleans Airlift. Big Freedia has always acted as mentor for many younger artists, is currently recording her third record and recently returned from a stellar 6 show run in New York City, performing sold out shows with Spank Rock, Ninjasonik and many others at venues such as Santos Party House, Glasslands, and Sway. This year Freedia will be returning to South By Southwest, performing at multiple events including a retrospective Bounce Showcase and a historic second performance at Gay Bi Gay Gay after a short tour of the west coast with New Orleans collaborators Galactic, whom she performed with on the critically-acclaimed 2010 album "Ya-Ka-May".

Greg Judy: Farmer, Educator
Greg will be giving 2 talks at Permaculture Voices, come on out and see him.
Multi-Species Grazing on Leased Land (1 hour)
Profitable Methods Used to Heal Land with Mob Grazing (2 hours)
Greg and Jan Judy of Clark, Missouri run a grazing operation on 1400 acres of leased land that is made up from 11 farms. Greg and Jan went from near bankruptcy in 1999 to paying off a 200 acre farm and house in 3 years with custom grazing on leased land and are completely debt free. Today they own 3 farms and lease 8 farms. Holistic High Density Planned Grazing is used to graze cows, cow/calf pairs, bred heifers, horses, and stockers. They also own a 250 head grass genetic cow herd, 300 head hair sheep flock, goat herd, and graze Tamworth pigs. They have also started direct marketing grass-fed beef, lamb and pork. Their website is: greenpasturesfarm.net. Greg is absolutely convinced that there is no better way to get into the grazing business then to lease some fallow land, employ high density grazing and use other people's livestock to do it. Since switching from Management Intensive Grazing to Holistic High Density Grazing 3 years ago, the results have been breathtaking. The Judy's use no lime, no fertilizer, no seeding, no chemicals, no equipment. The Judy's focus solely on increasing animal density, trampling plants to form the litter bank, animal performance and long grass recovery periods between grazing. Plant diversity has exploded along with increased grass quantity each successive year combined with increased profit.
Greg wrote a book in 2001, entitled "NO RISK RANCHING, Custom Grazing On Leased Land", which gives a complete breakdown on the methods they used to build their operation from scratch. In 2008 Greg wrote a second book "COMEBACK FARMS, Rejuvenating Soils, Pastures and Profits with Livestock Grazing Management". Greg's new book covers all the methods they use with Holistic High Density Grazing, multi-species grazing, grass finishing animals, eliminating costly inputs. Greg has given numerous talks and schools all over the United States on the benefits of Holistic High Density Planned Grazing, leasing land, multi-species grazing, custom grazing and wildlife management. The Judy's hold Holistic High Density Grazing Schools at their farms teaching the principles of HHDG. Greg does consultant work for other people interested in setting up HHDG grazing systems. Greg quit his off farm job of 30 years and is now a full time rancher.
Greg has written the following books:

6 Weeks to a Younger You: Week 3
August 24, 2011 at 11:28 am , by Julie Bain
How did you do on your week 2 assignments? Did you give meditation a try? Or get your blood pressure checked? Hope you at least put on your sunscreen and took your vitamin D. Those are easy!
But the homework gets harder this week with two assignments that I know I need to work on: getting my heart rate up and eating less sugar.
Remember step aerobics classes? I think they went the way of shiny Spandex around the turn of the millennium, but they had the right idea: to get your heart rate up without causing joint pain from pounding the pavement. I kind of miss them. I'm lucky that I live and work in New York City, so I walk a lot—but on a very flat island. I seldom climb anything unless it's a few stairs out of a subway station, and I don't often break a sweat, either (except when I'm standing on a broiling subway platform, but that doesn't count).
To improve your stamina and cardiovascular health, you've got to raise your heart rate and get the sweat going, too. New research says you can do this through interval training, meaning short bursts of intense activity combined with longer periods at a more comfortable pace. This is good news! I'm not a gym rat, so I want to find a way to incorporate this into my day. Aha—another urban advantage. I can combine my pedometer-guided walks to and from work with the stairs in my apartment building. I'll try to zoom up and down the six flights to my apartment at least a couple of times a day. Maybe if I put Olivia Newton-John on my iPod, I can pretend I'm back in aerobics class. Woo! Now what are you going to do to step it up?
I think cupcakes have become the bane of American women's existence. They're everywhere, in schools, at the office, in the mall—and they're nearly impossible to resist. Let's face it, when you have a bad day or are stressed out, you don't crave broccoli. You want the red velvet cupcake with the cream-cheese icing and the cute sugar daisy on top. Or ice cream, cookies, chocolate-covered caramels and gummy bears. Or maybe chips, crackers and pizza (which are basically sugar, too, at least as far as your metabolism is concerned).
I used to think sugar wasn't as bad for you as fat, but research is showing it's actually the other way around. Sugar turns into belly fat, raises your bad cholesterol and leads to heart disease—which still kills more women than anything else. So how do you resist? Here's what works for me: Don't eat carbs for breakfast. Start your day with some protein, fat and fiber to kick-start your metabolism, keep you feeling full and help you fend off the sugar cravings later. That means no OJ, fruit, cereal, bagels, pastries, energy bars or toast (save those for later). It doesn't mean you're never going to give into the lure of the cute cupcake again (I had a pink one with sprinkles yesterday after the earthquake scare), but it lays the groundwork. You can do the rest!
Here are some of my choices for breakfast: eggs scrambled in a little olive oil or a hard-boiled egg I've made the night before, a mozzarella stick and a handful of walnuts, low-fat plain (no honey or fruit purée) Greek yogurt with toasted almonds, even a big spoonful of peanut butter spread on celery sticks. If you have time, an omelet with some spinach and feta cheese would be amazing. Sometimes I'll even munch on cold crunchy leftover green beans, drizzled with a little extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it!
See lots more tips and details of our six-week plan here, and cheers to a younger you!

The Five Best Things You Can Do For Yourself This Weekend
April 23, 2010 at 2:03 pm , by Julie Bain
1. Lay off the sweet stuff.
Give up processed or packaged foods with added sugar for one whole day. Sure, eat fruit, whole grains or other natural complex carbs—you need them for energy. But new research shows that extra sugar raises your bad cholesterol and lowers your good cholesterol. Step away from the cupcake—and you'll feel better and lose the cravings soon.
2. Hug a tree.
Communing with nature is one of the best built-in stress-busters we've got. It's glorious, blooming spring in most parts of the country now, so before you tackle your long list of chores and errands this weekend, write at the top of the list: Go for a walk in the park (or the woods, or along the stream or up the mountain). Smell the flowers, feel the bark of a tree, dip your toe in the water, listen to the sound of the wind in the pine needles. Breathe deeply and be in the moment.
3. Let it out.
Studies have shown that when women bond with their friends, it lowers their blood pressure, heart rate and cholesterol. Had a rough week? Get it out and share! Then don't forget to ask, "How are you feeling?" You'll both be healthier.
4. Get it on.
Studies show that in a safe, committed relationship, regular sex improves intimacy, reduces stress, burns calories, and keeps you feeling young. It also helps you sleep better.
5. Hit the hay.
Writing down what's keeping you up at night won't solve your problems, but it does give you permission to set them aside to deal with them tomorrow. Get into bed early with a little notebook, write down what's bugging you, then let it go and have sweet dreams!

The veep-stakes
With the question of who will be at the top of the Republican presidential ticket looking more and more settled, attention is turning to the No. 2 spot. Who will be the vice presidential pick?

Less than 20 months to the next presidential election
Boy howdy LBJ, we're already edging toward the 2012 presidential election judging from a March claim that snagged our attention. We took up GOP prospect Mitch Daniels' riposte that government workers in 41 states fare better than the taxpayers who support them. Of course, many possible candidates also are fair game for the Truth-O-Meter.

By HAYLEY HARMON6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Thousands turned out to catch the Tennessee game Saturday in Neyland Stadium, but it was the game of a lifetime for two Vol fans.
Two local veterans, both in their eighties, received a special trip to watch the big orange take on Western Kentucky.
Roy Gilbert and Ted Webb live at the Ben Atchley State Veterans Home in Knoxville and claim to be the biggest Vol fans in Tennessee.
"I come here to win! All my life. I was born a Vol," said Webb.
They got the best seats in the house on Saturday, watching all the orange and white action from a skybox in Neyland Stadium.
"You can see everything," said Gilbert.
"Oh I love it. I couldn't sleep last night," said Webb.
It's all thanks to the company in charge of rehab at Ben Atchley.
Functional Pathways decided to give the two "Vols for Life" the trip when they found out how much they love Tennessee football.
"Because they're in a wheelchair, they can't really just come and sit in a regular seat, so this is an opportunity for them to come and be really comfortable and watch the game," said Angel Knorr of Functional Pathways.
Watching the game in person is the experience of a lifetime for both the vets.
"It's very special," said Webb.
Coming to Tennessee games was a family affair for Webb and his wife, who just recently passed away.
"We had season tickets for 30 years," said Webb.
Now, he's back, thinking of her and all the friends they made through the years in Neyland Stadium.
"I love to see the game. I love to see the friendship with others because there's a lot of people I see that I know," said Webb.
And although Gilbert has loved the Vols for decades, this is the first time he's ever been to a game.
"I watch it on television every year! It's hard to take in," said Gilbert. "I saw them run through the 'T.' That was awesome."
So from the familiar to the brand new, this game day is one these two men will never forget.
"Rocky Top. Rocky Top Tennessee," said Webb. "I say thank you and I love you all. Thank you."
This is the second year two veterans from Ben Atchley have gotten to attend a Tennessee game thanks to Functional Pathways.
They plan on making this a yearly event.

How to recharge a pressure tank:
Sometimes after a few years of use the pressure tank will lose internal pressure and not empty out all of the water inside the tank. Here is a way for you to repressurize the tank.
Steps to re-pressurizing tank:
1. Turn off water to unit.
2. Turn off tank ball valve.
3. Remove tubing from tank ball valve.
4. Remove tank from under sink and turn the tank upside down in the sink.
5. Open tank ball valve and let tank drain. Sometimes it can take 30 minutes for all the water to drain. You can speed up the draining process by adding air into the bottom of the tank. If all of the water does not drain out of the tank, it means that the bladder inside the tank has leaked and cannot be repaired. This will happen to all bladder tanks will eventually.
6. Once the tank is empty, use a tire pressure pump to pressurize empty tank with 5 to 7 PSI with the tank ball valve still in open position.
7. Re-install/re-attach tank.

Is it a comet? Is it asteroid? 'Freakish' six-tail space rock discovered by NASA
- Ur_lnner_Voice
- uploaded: Nov 9, 2013
- Hits: 55
A startling and never yet seen "weird and freakish object" with six tails has been captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in our solar system's asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Scientists were "literally dumbfounded" as they were trying to find an adequate explanation for out-of-this-world appearance of this "weird and freakish object," said the lead investigator of the University of California at Los Angeles, David Jewitt, in NASA's press-release.
While normal asteroids appear as tiny points of light, the designated P/2013 P5 has six comet-like tails of dust radiating from it.
"Even more amazing, its tail structures changed dramatically in just 13 days as it belches out dust. That also caught us by surprise. It's hard to believe we're looking at an asteroid."
Asteroids are remnants of disrupted planet formation located in the belt between Mars and Jupiter. These solid objects that could have become planets but the process was interrupted by the gravitational pull of Jupiter. Asteroids differ from comets as they are found closer to the sun and do not produce a temporary atmosphere. As for comets, they are characterized as relatively small, at times active, objects whose ices can vaporize in sunlight forming a visible atmosphere around it called a 'coma' or a 'tail.'
The research team believes that the asteroid is rotating so much that its surface is flying apart ejecting dust in episodic eruptions that form the visible tails and make it look like a comet.
"If the asteroid's spin rate became fast enough the asteroid's weak gravity would no longer be able to hold it together. Dust might avalanche downslope towards the equator, and maybe shatter and fall off, eventually drifting into space to make a tail," Jewitt said.
