We have made the decision to get Corian for our new kitchen. I fell in love with their newer pattern, Witch Hazel. Anyway, has anyone here ever purchased counters of any kind from Home Depot and were you satisfied with the experience...quality of fabrication, installation, etc.? I don't like that you have to pay the full bill up front for your estimated square footage/fabrication before they will even come out to measure/template. I just worry that we have no leverage if something goes wrong. The other side of the coin however is that they are currently running a sale on Corian and we could save quite a bit of money over the local "countertops only" kind of place that only require 1/2 down and 1/2 when finished. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We purchased our Silestone from HD during a sale. Paid full amount upfront but after install a few months later (our scheduling decision, not theirs) we were refunded the difference between the quote and the actual. They round up measurements slightly to give that wiggle room in the price. The communication with the installers was ok, not as good as a small, local shop. The price difference was significant--nearly $2000 less than one quote. The quality of the install was good. Minimal seam, only one seam when initially was told it would likely require two. Great reveal on the sink cutout and nice job on the on-site cooktop cutout. Overall, very pleased. Hated to not use a local fabricator, but the savings add up when you are trying to manage a budget. |

Hi, we bought a granite countertop from HD and the experience was mixed. The contractors whom they referred us to were quite incompetent and made two errors in the cutting process: 1. the corner was not rounded despite a very clear rounded corner with a stated diameter on the diagram, and 2. there was a gap over an inch wide between the countertop and the wall. They tried to tell us that it was ok and that they will hide the gap with backsplash... They really tried to fight us on recutting/refund. I have to say that HD was pretty great at working with them to get us a brand new slab and new countertop without any extra cost for us. I am not sure how they split up the cost of a new slab and recutting, but we didn't have to pay anything extra on top of the original amount. I know that it all depends on a local HD manager, but ours was pretty great. So overall - the contractors/local company they work with was horrible, but HD made it right at the end. Good luck! |

I think that in all cases Home Depot sub-contracts out the templating, fabricating, and installation of countertops. So one person's experience with purchasing countertops through Home Depot won't indicate much about what you can expect, even if that person went through the exact same Home Depot store as you will, they could have ended up with a different sub-contractor, so the experience could be very different. I have heard it suggested that Home Depot demands a lower price from the sub-contractor so that Home Depot can add a mark-up and still seem competitive with independent fabricators, which can siphon off much of the profit in the transaction, which already has a relatively low margin. Therefore the sub-contractors they use would seem to be those that cannot otherwise fill their own schedule. Which might mean that fabricator is: However I think Home Depot won't even tell you who they would be using ahead of time, fearing that you'd take your business directly to that fabricator, and cut them out of the deal. That is probably why them demand full payment upfront. To me it seems that asking about people's experiences with Countertops from Home Depot, is analogous to asking has anyone dated someone through Match.com (for instance). For mileage may vary (considerably). |
Actually, Home Depot does use local fabricators...they don't have their own installers. I would think you would probably have more leverage with Home Depot if there was a problem than you might with directly finding your own installer. I think Home Depot simply provides steady work to decent installers, but with the padded profit margins reduced. To the OP, I simply suggest that when you get an installer assigned, you ask for references from previous jobs (and/or check them out on Angie's List). If you are concerned after checking references, get Home Depot to assign some other firm before any work is done |

Since you know actually what you want get estimates from other places besides HD or Lowes. Oh, it sounds like you already did get other estimates. |

Make sure that you look on the Corian site and check out the example they show of seams in this material. It is a big swirly pattern and will have very obvious seams. I don't mean this to dissuade you from using it if you like the pattern, just be aware that the pattern change at the seam will be very obvious even if the seam is undetectable by feel. |
Kudzu, FYI the HD we went through used a local granite company for their granite installs, but the Silestone contract was with a company 5 hours away in another state. So OP's MMV depending upon product and store. I got the name of the contracted fabricator/installer prior to purchasing as researched their reviews online. That gave me the confidence to use a company which was out of state. The actual templater/installer lives in our city and gets the product cut and ready to go shipped up to him from their fabrication shop and he comes back to install. Just a little more background info from our experience. Again, I am pleased with the outcome. |
For what Homer Burrito pays their installers, just be happy that it (kinda) fits. You want quality? Use a quality installer/fabricator. |
i just had a conversation with an older gentleman at a granite place about his horrible install from hd. in our area(albany,ny) both lowes and hd use installers 2 hours away and apparently lowes is on their third installer from that same city. that doesn't sound positive so despite the great pricing, i will not go that route. |
If you are worried about price leveraging... pay by credit card (NOT debit card). You can dispute charges later as needed. |

We used he for our lg quartz countertops, and had a fabulous experience. The fabricators are hired out. We spent some time talking to the install guys, so we got the scoop. They are not so much "local". We live in southern nh. Our fabricator was from Canada. It was about a 6 hour drive for them to get to us. They are located just across the border from Vermont, and our templeter was from Vermont. They do all stone countertops for hd in New England and parts of ny. They do them in batches. The guys drive down with all their installs and spend a night or two in a hotel. They actually ended up calling us at 4 the night before our scheduled install. They had finished the last job early and wanted to know if we were ready. Yes please! They did a fabulous job, had all the right equipment, the seam is fantastic. The template was so good everything went in nice and tight without a hitch. The original amount we were quoted (and paid up front) was right on, no changes. I did, however, use a credit card (not debit) for that transaction so that in case something did happen I would have some leverage. Now, we originally planned on a solid surface countertop from lowes. That whole experience was painful. They were almost sneaky in the way they were not upfront about up charges. By the time we had gotten the adjusted price after templeting the cost was close to double! And the guy who came out to template did not give me a good vibe about knowing his stuff. We also looked at independent fabricators. But there prices ran about 40% more for the exact same product (same msnufacurer, same color) quartz. I attempted to negotiate a price closer to the big box, but they wouldn't budge at all. At 40% more I couldn't justify it. Anyway, that's my story. |
We got Corian from HomeDepot 10 years ago. Loved it, installers were great, no issues, NEVER saw a seam. No complaints at all, in fact I did love that Corian except for the white sink--yuck! It has driven me now to a black sink! |
sum5463- Thanks for the info. I live in an area where I have about 8 Home Depot stores in a 20 mile radius, and I forget that other people don't have as many options because they don't live, or don't want to live, in a major metropolitan area like that. |

I have Corian from HD.. We initially went in and picked out the "lesser" type formed counter top because I loved the color. After some time, it got later and later, they admitted that their supplier could not get some of the ingredients for the one we picked. They offered us an upgrade to Corian for free. We also got the undermount integrated sink for free(that was the deal they were running when we purchased the original set up). Oh and when it was finally installed on site they rounded a counter top hang over at no cost too. They were not very forth coming with the "problem" just kept putting me off a week, and another week, then another until I got VERY insistant.. But they made up for it. I would reuse Corian in another kitchen and even HD. |
I previously did fabrication for Home Depot and have several friend fabricators that do/did Home Depot and Lowes work. Those accounts sound good to many fabricators due to volume and consistent work. In most cases the big box stores demand more for less from the fabricator making it tough to make a profit unless they cut corners and take shortcuts. In my area fabricators will service box stores in a 400 mile radius but receive no travel time. The end result can reflect this. |

After I sold my solid surface fabrication business, I went to work for a fabricator who had contracts with several HD stores. I will match the work we did for HD against any work any where, any time. When you buy solid surface, estone, and granite by the boxcar load, you get tremendous leverage with manufacturers. That said, I just had a friend who serviced 13 HD's over a large area tell them to take a hike because they threatened to take his account when he wouldn't add stores that were several hours away. |

Eighteen-year-old New South Wales native, Josh Guyer, has signed with the MLB franchise Minnesota Twins.
The Blacktown Workers right-handed pitcher has been impressive in his second Major League Baseball Australian Academy (MLBAAP). Guyer has thrown 20 innings to the tune of a 3-0 record, a 2.70 ERA, and two saves in nine appearances.
For a young man who learnt his trade at his local Winston Hills Baseball Club, the signing means a lot to him and his dream of playing professional baseball.
"I want to get to the big leagues one day, and a signing now just helps get a foot in the door. It's one step closer to the end goal of what I want to achieve," said Guyer.
With a strong support base from his family, and a newly enforced strict training program, Guyer looks forward to turning a passion into a career.
"My parents have always said, 'find something you love and figure out how to get paid for it'. I love baseball, and now I've figured out a way to get paid for it, so I'm living the dream, really," Guyer said.
Josh first represented Australia as a 13 year old at the Cal Ripken World Series Championships in 2007, and again most recently he toured Guam with the National AAA Team who went on to win the Oceania Championships.
Off the back of his stella MLBAAP performance, Josh has been named again in the National AAA Team that will compete in the IBAF AAA World Championships in Seoul, South Korea later in August.
He says he is really looking forward to facing players from outside the country again.
"It's just great to get to see people around the world sharing something that I love to play," Guyer said.
Academically inclined as well, Josh completed his HSC in 2011 and was accepted into a Bachelor of Forensic Science at University of Technology, Sydney. He has made the decision to defer his studies to concentrate on his desire to become a professional baseball player; which looks to be paying-off.
The hard-throwing pitcher is set to join the Minnesota Twins next April for Spring Training.

Bebo founders and husband-wife team Michael and Xochi Birch made about $600 million in the sale of the social networking site to AOL (NYSE: TWX) for $850 million. The two founders are reported to have about 70 percent stake at the time of the sale. This for less than three years of work. We reported earlier that VC firm Balderton Capital will reap about $140 million - nine times what it invested in Bebo less than two years ago - by selling its 15.7 percent stake.

Confession about me Silent StrengthI am strong, but please never confuse this strength with invulnerability.I do hurt.I do cry.I do love.I do feel.I do get crushed.I do regret.But please never think that while I may never show these things in front of you, that I don't feel them.Because I do.More than you could ever imagine.I'm a hyper sensitive person, forced into a role of strength.It is just a rare occasion when my reserve breaks and I show it in front of people.And when this happens, I reach a state of such openness and vulnerability that I fear.Because I can withstand a thousand blows, but just one word can cut me down. And at that moment, I fear what could be said to me.I'm very sorry if anyone who see this thinks of me as cold, or heartless, or unfeeling.It's just in my life, I have had people who rely on me to be the strong one who keeps a level head and calm emotions.And so when I break in front of someone, I apologize profusely.Because what if they were someone that needed me
One Thousand ApologiesI know you will forgiveWhatever I do wrongI know that you will listenTo the tiniest problems I haveOne thousand apologiesFor everything I didOne thousand apologiesFor ever broken dream I shredIknow you will hold meWhen I feel so aloneI know you will be thereWhen I'm broken and forgottenOne thousand apologiesI know I abuse the factsOne thousand apologiesFor crawling every time I need youIt's like I'm a stoneCause I know you will comeIt's like I'm a stoneBut I can't stand aloneOne thousand apologiesFor abusing your kindnessOne thousand punchesWont give me what I deserveI do not deserve this mercyI do not deserve this at allWhy the angel fell for a demonI will never understandIn my evil ways full of sinYou remind meThat every sinner has a futureAnd every saint has a past

In my search for a quiet, reliable wall oven with knobs, I came across a Bertazzoni and a Verona. I was wondering if anyone has either of these? I originally had decided on the Bosch 500 until I realized that there was no way to clean a spill between the glass on the door. Thanks for any input. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ok. Just found the Bertazzoni review on here that didn't initially pop up. I am nixing that choice. Thanks. |

BURLINGTON The president of Vermonts Champlain College is planning to retire.
President David Finney announced Monday he will retire from the job he has held at the Burlington college on June 30, 2014.
Among Finneys accomplishments during his years at Champlain, he has nearly tripled freshmen applications and increased enrollment numbers, increased study abroad programs, expanded the size of the campus, and strengthened financial aid.
Champlain describes itself as a small, private college with a career-driven approach to higher education that prepares students for their professional lives from their very first semester.
The college has hired a search firm to help find Finneys successor.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe sugar tax is back. Full StoryMONTPELIER Vermont lawmakers are grappling with how close to perfect the states sex offender... Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story -

Bill, don't know what you're sailing or what you draw. Mandeville is still a 20-mile sail, easy downwind in the south-sw breezes we'll have this weekend, but could be a "long" beat back if your boat isn't a close-winded greyhound, and maybe a little lumpy on the north shore if the wind kicks up.
Not much on the south shore, most of us sail between the Causeway and the Lakefront airport (easy reaches in a southerly). If you're a centerboarder, you could sail over to Pontchartrain Beach, tie up at the end of the old pier, and walk ashore for a picnic and a swim. Or anchor out and swim in if you draw a lot.
Also, a putt-putt through the outer and inner harbors at West End can be decent "sightseeing" with all the boats and boathouses. You can sail or motorsail the outer harbor, but need to motor the tighter inner harbor. and you can tie up at the dock at Landry's Seafood restaurant for a drink and a decent meal.
Pm me if you have any questions. Enjoy! looks like a warm, good-weather couple of days.

Sterling Heights
May 17, 2013Stevenson hosts students' Disney choir concert
By Eric Czarnik
C & G Staff Writer
STERLING HEIGHTS — Students at Utica Community Schools will end another school year by singing some classic Disney tunes, and they promise that the performance will be anything but Mickey Mouse.
Students from three schools will perform a spring concert, "The Wonderful World of Disney," at Stevenson High School May 23.
Leo Humbach, a choir director at three UCS schools, said in an email that the concert will showcase the voices of about 175 students from Stevenson High School, as well as the Heritage and Davis junior high schools. Heritage's choir director, Chris Smith, is also helping put on the show.
By picking the family-friendly theme of Disney, Humbach said he hopes to unite students and families throughout the school district.
"Having all three schools present is a great way to demonstrate that we are all family within the fine arts programs at UCS," he said.
"It is also my desire to inspire our young students from the elementary schools to consider being a part of the performing arts while they attend junior high and high school."
According to Humbach, some of the night's highlights will come from the scores of animated Disney musicals, such as "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin" and "The Lion King." In fitting with the Disney spirit, four students will appear in costume as Disney princesses to sign autographs and take pictures with audience members.
In fitting with the school year's end, the concert will pay tribute to the graduating Class of 2013 with a slideshow and the Natasha Bedingfield song "Unwritten," Humbach said.
Stevenson High School sophomore Antonia Ferrara-Skiba said she has sung in choir since the seventh grade and called it a "great journey." She plans to sing some of the songs from "The Lion King," such as "Be Prepared."
"I am also looking forward to 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' because it's such a cute, sweet song," she added. "I love being part of the choir presentation of 'The Lion King' because it's a classic, and I believe we can really do this justice."
The Stevenson High School, Heritage Junior High School and Davis Junior High School choirs will perform "The Wonderful World of Disney" at 7 p.m. May 23 at Stevenson High School, 39701 Dodge Park Road, in Sterling Heights. Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for students and free for children younger than 5. Learn more at www.uticak12.org or at (586) 797-1900.

Just got my kegging kit set up two weeks ago and I think my regulator is incorrect. My tap is 2ft above the keg, fridge is at 38, 6ft of 3/16 line and the regulator is at 14.5 psi. I feel the beer is still not carbed enough. According to the balencing charts for about 2.7 vol I should only need 13.3 psi. I get a great pour from the tap with no foam so I know everyting is balanced but I'm nervous to keep turning up the psi. Every time I've adjusted it I have waited 2-3 days to retry and I still think it should be higher for me. Any thoughts about keep turning up the pressure?
Did you initially carb it at 14.5 and then leave it for a few days for the CO2 to dissolve? Also, try turning down your pouring pressure. I dispense at 7psi and that is great, any higher and it foams to much tends to lose carbonation faster.
I had it at 13.5 at the begining for 7 days before I tried it. I have made two adjustments since letting it sit for 2-3 days and have not noticed a big difference. How do you mean turn down the pouring pressure?
You're not going to notice a carbonation change in two days, especially when the pressure increase is only a few PSI more. I actually suggest that you leave it where it is for another couple days. There's a slight chance the pressure gauge is a little off. What's the range on it, 0-60psi? If you're growing impatient, you can jack the pressure to 20psi for half a day, then purge the keg and drop it back down. That should boost you up quicker than waiting for equilibrium.

Some sort of Hemipteran, true bugs, most have piercing-sucking mouthparts for feeding, which is cool to watch on predators. That might be some sort of plant bug to this westerner, which is not what you want en masse in your yard. Any insecticidal soap will do. Thank you for the excellent fotos. Dan |
This one 'bugs' me. Those long, skinny antennae and muscular back legs....looks like a cross between a cricket and a stinkbug. (My students used to try to trick me with their bug collections, which is why I even think that way.) |
Dan, what about the Tarnished Plant Bug? |
- Posted by dan_staley 5b/SS 2b AHS 6-7 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 10, 11 at 0:04
Well, in my view the antennae aren't quite right, rhizo, as I don't see the length or palp-type structures on the end in those fotos, which is why I was vague upthread. Legs and antennae are confounding to the coloring. Clearly a Hemipteran and usually bad to ornamentals so action is likely warranted. If you have to have it down to species, take it in to the Co Extension. Otherwise action. We get these types on our local listserv and very few IDs go by unanswered. Dan |

Hi all you bean experts, I also posted this in the container garden forum, but I got to thinking you guys might be the right ones to ask. I wanted to plant some pole beans to make a green bean teepee for my son. I have to use raised beds and containers (I live on solid rock). So my thought was to put the root pouches (fabric pots like a smart pot) in a semi-circle to plant the beans and put the stakes in. I haphazardly ordered the 3 gallon root pouches (largest size the seller had at the moment). Will these be large enough? I was thinking 3 seeds per bag. Would this be ok? Could I even plant 4-5 seeds per 3 gallon root pouch? I have Fortex pole beans if that matters. Also the bags are 10" x 8.5" Thanks. |

I'm trying something new this year that may work for you. Go to a place that sells metal culverts and buy the band, or ring, that joins two culverts together. They are heavy-duty metal that will last a loooong time. They come in different sizes. The ones I bought are 36" across x 13" high. Perfect for me. The price is about $25. I plan to do a bean tepee in one of them. Potatoes are coming up already in some of the others. |
Meagan, I have only ever tried container growing of pole beans once, I used a five gallon bucket and did two or three plants on a pole. It worked, but I came away with the impression that the beans were suffering from being crowded. Hopefully someone with more experience will show up. But from my perspective, I'd recommend trying one plant per bag. George |

Thaks sweetquitplace. I will keep that in mind for another project. But for this one, I need the teepee to be less permenant (going in the middle of the yard). macmex- One per 3 gallons sounds like I made an $$ error in purchasing that size. But I thought bean plants generally have smaller root systems? I was hoping I could get away with three per 3 gallon root pouch. |
Meagan, perhaps you can get away with it. I'm just sharing my impression based on a one time experiment. Was really hoping someone with more experience would drop in and tell us. George |

"Great recipe. I did make a few changes but they were minor. I used coconut oil for the fat and chia seeds instead of wheat germ. Also added a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. We LOVE this bread. I've made it 4 times in under 2 weeks. Best bread I have ever made in my machine!"

Delicious! I subbed some lemon extract for the almond and it gave the muffins this awesome lemon undertone that worked beautifully with the cherries. Cut the sugar back to about 2/3 cup...."
"Great recipe. I followed some suggestions by other reviewers and cooked at a higher temp for shorter (375 for 55 min) mainly because we needed to eat dinner sooner and I didn't get started as early as I needed to allow the full time.
I used leftover whey from making yogurt rather than broth. Increased the garlic powder to a full teaspoon...."
"Great recipe. I put the raisins in on top rather than waiting for the "add-in" beep because I set this to bake overnight. The raisins appear to be distributed nicely so far (haven't eaten the whole loaf yet, obviously).

"Absolutely delicious! Appreciate previous reviewer's comments about making sure the seeds are TOTALLY dry. Very important to have a nice looking finished product.

Upon first look I thought these headphones would be a gimmick but after reading the last few sentences it may be kinda cool
Smyth Research Realiser A8 Headphone Surround Simulator
Many have tried, but few have succeeded in simulating a convincing surround soundfield with conventional headphones. Several years ago, I heard a demo of one such system from UK-based Smyth Research, and it really knocked my socks off. That was a prototype, but the technology, known as Smyth Virtual Surround (SVS), is now available in a commercial product called the Realiser A8.
Most headphone-based surround-simulation systems use mathematical algorithms called head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) to describe the effect of sound waves diffracting around a human head from any given direction. The HRTFs are used to alter the amplitude, phase, and delay of an audio signal before it's sent to the headphones, and the listener perceives the sound coming from the desired "direction."
Unfortunately, most of these simulation systems suffer from a couple of drawbacks. For one thing, the HRTFs are generic, based on the average of many individual measurements, which means they are accurate for no one in particular. Also, as a listener turns his or her head, the simulated speaker system turns with it, which sounds quite unnatural. If you were listening to a real surround speaker system, turning your head would change the relative orientation of your ears with respect to the speakers, resulting in plainly audible changes to the sound.
SVS starts by "capturing" the HRTF of a specific individuali.e., youlistening to a specific set of speakers in a specific room. You put a small microphone in each ear, and a series of test signals are played from the Realiser processor to each speaker. The resulting HRTFs are stored and used to re-create the effect of sounds coming from the modeled speakers in that room as heard by you.
To fully optimize the system, the headphones must also be taken into account. So after the room measurements are taken, you put on the headphones over the mics, and more test tones are played to measure the precise interaction between the headphone cups and the listener's outer ear. The profiles of 64 rooms and 64 headphones can be stored internally, and as many as you want can be stored on removable SD cards.
After the measurements are stored, up to eight channels of analog audio are fed into the Realiser processor, which applies the selected HRTFs (room and headphone) and sends the processed audio to the headphones fitted with a small, rechargeable head-tracking device on the headband. That device sends an IR signal to a set-top receiver, which communicates the listener's orientation to the processor. This information is used to modify the HRTFs in real time so that the virtual speakers appear to remain in place as the listener's head moves.
Smyth wants to make sure that listeners aren't using lousy headphones, so the company sells a complete package with a Stax SRS-2050 MKII electrostatic-headphone systemwhich includes the cans and a dedicated amplifierall for $3360. That might seem like a lot to pay for virtual surround in headphones, but the Realiser A8 offers far more than thisit provides the ability to emulate specific rooms and speakers for your ears only. For example, if you had access to an acoustically superior room with a million-dollar surround-sound system, you could perform the setup procedure and essentially take that room and speaker system with you for far less than it would cost to physically replicate them. Kinda makes three grand seem like a bargain, doesn't it?
Yes. The idea seemed so cool to me that I jumped at the chance to try them out.......even though I hate wearing headphones. Have I changed my mind after a couple of weeks with this ingenious device? Review in my "Music in the Round" column in the upcoming Nov ember Stereophile. Kal
Don't see where Smyth sells the processor separately. I already own Stax Lambda Pro Signature headphones, so I don't need another set (which is actually inferior to what I have). Another issue. I'd love to try the unit out, but I find the lack of digital inputs baffling. I have PS3 which sends multichannel info via HDMI to Denon AVR. The AVR can output via HDMI or optical. I don't have room for another 8 high-quality cables running in or out of my AVR. Smyth really needs to get into the 21st century here.
I am a music surround sound fan from way back. I still have a hundred or so quad reel tapes. I will soon have to sell my 5.1 system that includes Apogee Mini Grands, a Persius LCR and Centaur Minors, because I must move from a house to an apartment. The problem is volume level. I can't listen to music or a movie at full dynamics without having my new neighbors calling the cops. So I've been looking at headphones, which up to now meant no more quad or 5.1 . May be now I can have my cans and eat them too! I was considering Stax and Sennheisers (maybe 650's or 800's). Scott, if I am not crazy about the SR-202's that come with the A8 system, will the surround system work with other types of headphones as well as the SR 202's? Steven
Dilbert, Symth does sell the processor separately; they simply don't want to encourage people to use it with poor-quality headphones, which yours are obviously not. I agree that the lack of a digital input is baffling, and something I didn't even think of, but I'm certainly going to ask them about it. Thanks for pointing that out! Steven, as I mentioned above, the system will work with other types of headphones. Smyth would prefer you to use good cans, which it sounds like you intend.
Regarding digital inputs: The decision to go all analogue for the first product was in order to have a single model that was universally connectable, pro and consumer. An S/P-DIF input would require adding core Dolby and DTS decoding for surround tracks, which is of diminishing interest now that there are lossless codecs and uncompressed digital beyond the capabilities of S/P-DIF. Also a majority of our users are pros who work uncompressed, pre-encoding. HDMI for the home user would be nice for the future -- nothing on the schedule yet, though.
Paul, I see you figured out why they don't sell it with such a profile pre-installed...it depends on your ears and headphones. The unit does ship with one profile: the Smyth listening room using Stephen Smyth's ears and the Stax SR-202 headphones. It's not customized to your ears and headphones, but it's included so people can hear something right out of the box.

What game has won Best RPG at the 2011 Golden Joystick Awards? We'll give you a clue - it's set in a post-apocalyptic world full of bugs. Yep, it's Fallout: New Vegas.
The bugs didn't deter the critics though and Obsidian's RPG won rave reviews and shipped over 5 million units worldwide. Several DLC packs have been released since to extend the game even further. Our review here.
Following behind in second and third place was The Witcher 2 and Dragon Age 2.

Attention, "Star Wars" fans!
For the low, low price of a $10 donation, you run the chance of appearing in Star Wars Episode VII. In a message recorded on set in Abu Dhabi, director J.J. Abrams announced a new charity campaign run by Disney, Lucasfilm, and his own production company, Bad Robot.
Star Wars: Force for Change, asks people to donate $10 or more to UNICEF. In return, you get to dream about hanging with Han Solo and Luke Skywalker.
As seen in The Verge:
The randomly chosen winner of the grand prize and one partner will be flown to Episode VII's Pinewood Studios set as guests of J. J. Abrams. There, they'll be "transformed" by costume and makeup teams, before being given roles in the next Star Wars movie. It's unclear what those roles will entail — Episode VII's story is so well-protected Bothan spies are yet to reach it — but the opportunity to put on a furry mask, hang around in the back of a shot, inspire the invention of an alien race of wolf-people or bobble-headed oddballs, and eventually have books written about you is enticing.
The more you shell out, the higher your chances. Get those wallets out.
You've agonized over whether or not they would bring back the original three, you've sweated over J.J. Abrams' potential conflict of interest ("Star Trek" and "Star Wars"? Never the twain should meet), you've debated whether there should even be a sequel at all — and now, the wait is over!
The cast of the Star Wars: Episode VII is official: Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are all coming back, as previously hinted in various reports. They'll be joined by Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow.
"We are so excited to finally share the cast of 'Star Wars: Episode VII.' It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again," Abrams said in a statement. "We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud."
Fans of Harrison Ford (myself included — Indiana Jones-themed bat mitzvah. No shame.) can do a happy dance. According to Deadline.com's Mike Fleming, Ford, 71, will have a "gigantic role" in "Episode VII."
What if Tatooine were a warped version of 1960s suburban California, Aunt Beru was Mrs. Robinson, and Luke Skywalker just a blonder Benjamin Braddock?
Replace John Williams's Darth Vader theme with Simon and Garfunkle, and my guess is, it would look something like this. Enjoy your trip to Scarborough Fair. Via land speeder, that is.
Will they? Won't they? Speculation abounds about which of the original Star Wars cast will make the jump to the upcoming sequel.
Carrie Fisher made our hearts soar like the Millenium Falcon when she sat down with Palm Beach Illustrated and answered a point blank "Yes" when asked whether or not she was coming back as Princess Leia in J.J. Abrams' upcoming take on the classic.
The new Princess Leia would be "elderly," Fisher said . "She's in an intergalactic old folks home." With her bagel buns and gold bikini safely on hand, we hope.
As it turns out, she may have been joking. Joking. Why Carrie, why?
Jerking us around like this may come back to haunt J.J. Abrams if Episode VII doesn't live up to expectations. Which it can't.
The much less devious Harrison Ford is supposedly "open" and "upbeat" about the idea of dusting off his Han Solo vest. According to Ford, Solo was scripted to die in xReturn of the Jedix, but lives on because his character was one of the most popular action figures at the time.
In the meantime, Ford will be trading in space gear for a news desk as he appears in Anchorman 2 as a veteran newscaster, a role similar to the one he played in 2010's Morning Glory, ironically also produced by J.J. Abrams.
Mark Hammill, also rumored to come back as Luke Skywalker, told Entertainment Tonight that he hopes the new installment will be more like the originals than the heresy (our words) that are the recent prequels. We feel you Mark. Please, please, no Jar Jar Binks this time.
Carrie Fisher and William Shatner have taken their gloves off, duking it out in YouTube videos over which is better: Star Wars or Star Trek.
They poke as much fun at each other's having aged over the years as they do at the relative merits of their respective legendary productions. Fisher, looking svelt but wearing a way-too-low-cut top, challenges the perennially young-looking Shatner to a "costume-off." She makes fun of Shatner's clingy Captain Kirk costume while complimenting her own Princess Leia metal bikini. Shatner's sharp retort is that at least his costume "has stretch" so that it would still fit his now larger physique. "I don't know if we are ready to see you in that bikini," he tells Fisher. "While my costume just needs some push and pull, your bikini would need some real…uplift."
Over 30 years after opening our ears to the musical quality of franks-and-beans flatulence, actor and director Mel Brooks will finally receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The 83-year-old "Blazing Saddles" director, will place his hands in cement on April 23.

Quoted from Lin i read a while ago eating something that your body has a immune reac tion to can lower your blood pressure after you've eaten it...but if your BP is low all the time the other thing to look at is your adrenals. I had low BP for most of my life and was told it is often tied to stress/adrenals.The BP went to normal range after I changed my diet to avoid Gluten, dairy, yeast, sugar.Lin
Quoted from Juliebug I was wondering if anyone has experienced low blood pressure after beginning the BTD? I had extremely high blood pressure and heart rate six years ago. I was on medication (it did not work) and the medication trashed my metabolism. I changed my diet and started exercising, got off off the medication (5 years ago) and was able to achieve a normal blood pressure. I also quit smoking one year ago next month. I noticed feeling kind of lethargic a few days ago and just figured I had done too much outside while the weather was nice. Monday evening I took my BP and it was 90's/50's. Yesterday it was 90's/40's. I'm thinking this is really too low. The strange thing is that I am not cold-actually really warm...any ideas what might be causing this?
Quoted from Juliebug Hi CJ- I had a huge blow-up with my father...caught him cheating on my mom with my BFF. I was the VP of his oil company, had all of my $$$ invested in his company, was accused of stealing from him...lost everything I had worked for. Haven't talked to them in 6 years. Probably never will... My heart rate was stuck at 142 BPM and my BP was 190/120...when I went to the heart speacialist in Dallas and had all of the tests run, the doc wanted to know who broke my heart...it was an emotional problem and not physical. I was put on a beta blocker called toperal XL. I literally slept 14-16 hours a day. It was really a tough time for me...I was 136 lbs. (5'9" tall) a size 4 and gained almost 70 lbs. in a year. UGH.....
Quoted from san j After 5 years of normal BP, to suddenly find one's readings dipping to 90s/40s is quite serious.Check in with your doctor.
Quoted from Juliebug I started drinking coffee and green tea with reishi mushroom extract. I was having a bad reaction to it. It was like I had poison in my body. I quit drinking it last Saturday and am actually doing better. I am still breaking out in sweats, but I am sure that once it is out of my system that will go away. I thought I was doing something good for myself but boy was I wrong. Hubby had a bad reaction too- his blood preesure went through the roof.

When literatures and cultures encounter those of the other counterparts in the contexts of a new geographic, ontological, and epistemological reconfiguration, the contacting points of the two or multiple entities in the world will turn out to be a vast region of interstitial zone of "intersections, competition, and exclusions." When one reflects upon one's confronting the "other" literatures and cultures in the moments of self-awareness and self-identity, one recalls the disturbing vortex of enriching inbound authenticity and threatening outbound hybridization. This dynamic vortex will construct the glocal, translocal, and transnational space of world literature. This space can be redefined when one puts the objects of the investigation in terms of the broader perspective of the transforming temporal glocal humanities.
