Ten o'clock.� The neighborhood's quiet has finally been broken by the hum of lawnmowers somewhere down the street.� For the last two hours, I've enjoyed quiet.� Throwing open the back door and looking out to my garden of basil and rosemary and lemon thyme with some geraniums woven in for color.� I indulged myself in the rare morning quiet, listening leaves clicking softly against one another in the wind, a pair of cardinals calling to each other.� I lost myself for an hour in a book, a a pot of strong coffee, a toasted English muffin slathered with butter and raspberry jam, and glances at an American flag flickering its red stripes in the spaces between leafy branches.� The computer and piles of work sat accusingly on the desk, jealous that I hadn't yet paid them attention.
Now, I've snapped to back to reality, vacation over, the coffee pot practically drained, the cardinals flapping furiously away. The lawnmowers buzz like a swarm of crazed bees as more landscapers unload equipment around the neighborhood.� The refrigerator starts depositing ice cubes furiously into its bin.� I'll turn on sports radio full blast to my favorite broadcaster, as long as he's talking baseball.� Pick up the kitchen.� When the noise stops, I'll move the computer outdoors and try to outrun the sun.
Maybe later, I'll put together a berry crisp with my cache from the farmers' markets: they're just about to go too soft to put on my Cheerios.

PUSD Settlement totals $850,000
Former employees J.C. Eaglesmith and Eileen Cox and their attorneys received a total of $850,000 as settlement for their discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed against the Plumas Unified School District.
According to a copy the settlement agreement provided by the school district, the suit was settled on July 2. The district approved checks for half the total amount ($425,000) on Aug. 1.
"We paid a lump sum," Superintendent Micheline Miglis said Aug. 1. "This ($425,000) is the district's contribution. The insurance pays as well."
Last week Feather Publishing reported settlement payments from Plumas Unified School District of $425,000 total: $245,333 to Eaglesmith, $101,858.80 to Cox and $77,796.20 to their attorneys, Siegel & Yee.
The settlement agreement, provided to Feather Publishing on Monday, Aug. 12, further delineates the shares of the settlement.
Eaglesmith was awarded a total of $359,159.20; Cox got $101,859.80; and Siegel and Yee received $388,981.00.
District's response
On Aug. 5, Miglis emailed Feather Publishing the following statement:
"The Plumas Unified School District announces that it resolved the pending lawsuit, Eaglesmith, et al. v. Ray, et al. Case No. 2:11-CV-00098-JAM-AC, with the remaining plaintiffs Mrs. Eileen Cox and Mr. Jerald Clinton Eaglesmith by way of a settlement.
"The express terms of the settlement are contained in a settlement agreement and release. The lawsuit will be dismissed with prejudice.
"The District admits no liability or fault by the settlement.
"Previous to this settlement, the District prevailed on summary judgment against plaintiffs Bruce Barnes and Ramona Eaglesmith, and also defeated all of Mr. Eaglesmith's claims of discriminatory harassment by summary judgment.
"By entering into this settlement, there will be no further disruption of school business or the education of our students through the litigation process.
"The parties have both agreed in the Settlement Agreement to not disclose the contents of the Settlement publicly."
However, the agreement stated "The parties acknowledge that the district is subject to the California Public Records Act, and that this agreement constitutes a public record of a type that is generally required to be disclosed upon request."
Feather Publishing requested a copy of the agreement on Thursday, Aug. 8.
The cost
When Eaglesmith said back in April, "It's not costing children anything," he did not know that PUSD would make payments from its own pocket, Eaglesmith's lawyer, Peter Haberfeld, told Feather Publishing.
On Aug. 9, Eaglesmith said in an email "To date we do not know where the funds actually came from. The fact that PUSD issued some of the checks means nothing.
"We also do not know who paid PUSD's lawyers and how much."
After receiving the settlement agreement, it appears the district and its insurance company split the settlement payments evenly at $425,000 each.
The last paragraph of the district's response states: "The District's contribution to the Settlement payments certainly impacts the operating budget of the District."
Lawsuit history
This wasn't the first time that Eaglesmith filed a discrimination lawsuit against school officials.
Under "disputed evidentiary issues" in the lawsuit filed against PUSD, plaintiff Eaglesmith declared the intention "to file a motion in limine (at the beginning) to exclude any evidence concerning prior lawsuits on the ground that such evidence is not relevant to the issues in the instant lawsuit."
On Aug. 14, 1995, Eaglesmith appealed the Northern District of California Court's dismissal of his lawsuit, 73 F.3d 857: J.C. Eaglesmith v. Jack Ward, Mendocino County Superintendent of Schools, as posted on law.justia.com.
Eaglesmith alleged in his initial lawsuit that Ward "discriminated against him on account of his race and religion, and constructively discharged him as coordinator of the county's Title VII Native American Bilingual Program."
That complaint was dismissed, and Eaglesmith's appeal was rejected Nov. 6, 1995.
Happy ending?
Both former employees are now retired and in the settlement agreement have agreed that they will never work or hold a volunteer position for the district again.
Cox and Eaglesmith also agreed that their only comment when asked about the settlement agreement will be limited to: "The matter has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction."

by Kristen Schaub Impressive center channel sound from a sleek speaker The ProCenter 1000 delivers impressive home theater sound quality at an affordable price. This compact, easy-to-use speaker reproduces crystal-clear dialogue and true-to-life sound effects perfect for thrilling home theater performance. High-tech drivers for rich sound Both 4-1/2" woofers produce natural-sounding dialog, while lower frequencies are turbocharged by 4-1/2" bass radiators at both ends of the cabinet (see above). This clever design doubles the lower-midrange radiating area without increasing the size of the enclosure. A 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter produces extended highs that reveal nuance and subtle detail without a trace of edginess. Compact, easy-to-place speaker You can place the ProCenter 1000 on a shelf using the included leveler foot, or mount it on your wall using using optional brackets. This speaker is voice-matched with Definitive's complete ProCinema series, and can be paired with any ProCinema surround or subwoofer. To create a high-performance ProCinema 800 system, pair the ProCenter 1000 with four ProMonitor 800 satellites and a ProSub 800. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality. For more information and helpful tips, check out this article from Definitive's website about conditioning your speakers.

It has to reproduce clear dialogue and special effects that keep your eyes and ears glued to the movie action. A high-quality center speaker is a great investment for any surround sound setup. Try to choose one that's as closely matched as possible to your front right and left speakers, so that as sound moves across the front stage, it stays seamlessly realistic.
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Center speaker Written By Tom B, Rochester, New York on Saturday, April 25, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speaker works well with the 6 Pro Monitor 800 bookshelf speakers. Very clear and powerful.
Super center channel Written By Luis, Puerto rico,US on Sunday, April 12, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excelent speaker. Love it for my 12'x12' room. Pros: -super sound from tiny speaker. -clear and firm. Cons: None
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By ChazC, the Washington, DC Area on Saturday, March 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This speaker more than meets my expectations. Great sound quality, with crisp, clear vocals. Great size. Fits neatly under my TV Pros: Great sound quality and great size Cons: None so far
Definitive Pro 10000 center speaker. I bought this spur. to replace a Written By Anonymous, Tacoma WA on Wednesday, February 04, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) No significant improvement from my old old. low end JBL center speaker I'm replacing for trial right now. Honestly I think my JBL center is just as good or better. I will eventually set up the pro 1000 to replace a 5.1 sound bar set up but I still have not decided on a receiver.
The perfect center speaker Written By BobP, Pennsylvania on Friday, January 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product, flawless finish, nicely done. Sound is bright, crisp and clear with a decent response. Pros: Compact size Black gloss piano finish Clean sound Compact size Adjustable foot pad to raise/lower sound listening field Lovely piece of technology made to meet my expectations. Cons: None.
Pure sound Written By Ryan, Salina Ks on Saturday, October 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very pure and rich sound Pros: Very accurate reproduction Cons: depth it will stand out well past your Tv if mounted to the wall
Great sound Written By clarehills, San Diego CA on Tuesday, October 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic sound - looks great. Bought this center speaker as part of the DT surround sound package. The sound, along with the corner speakers and the bass subwoofer is fabulous Pros: Looks good, excellent sound Cons: None so far
As advertised Written By Bob C, Nashville, TN on Friday, October 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great quality, center channel speaker. The open box was a great deal as well. No complaints. The product looks good and functions as intended. Crutchfield's service is prompt and professional. Pros: Sounds good, looks good, just works Cons: None yet
Great for small room surround systems Written By Rick H, apollo Beach Fl on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My "man cave" is pretty small----11'x11' and I needed an up-grade for my center channel speaker. Since that speaker sits in front of my TV, it couldnt be too tall. This unit really meets all my requirements. It sounds great, whether it's watching a blu-ray movie or listening to music. I dont know if it would be powerful enough to work well in a large room for surround sound but I think it just might. Before you spend $300+ for a center channel speaker, check this baby out. I think it's rated for up to 200 watts. Pros: Great sound, low profile Cons: none so far
Good performer Written By AlanI, Houston Tx on Saturday, July 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very compact but wide freq range with power
only choice Written By Anonymous, il on Tuesday, July 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) was the only one that would fit above the fireplace mantelthe sound is goodand was only one that would fit Pros: it fits sounds good Cons: price is high the sound is good but not great a lot of better center channelout therefor around the same pricebut unfortunately none that would fitso space is a concern this is a good one if not you can do better
I'd buy this again Written By Giuseppe, Michigan on Friday, May 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've purchased this speaker to substitute a Pro600 central one. Nothing wrong with it, I just have a large room and I need more volume to hear the dialogues better. Oh boy if this toy does the job! I was so please right away! The quality is impeccable and the sound is crystal clear! I've purchased this as open box to save a little and the product looked immaculate (honestly, it is truly an open box, someone bought it, opened, tried it, didn't like it, put it back in the box). Pros: Quality, design and price Cons: none
sexy in white ! Written By stubert, topanga, ca on Saturday, April 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) i bought this because of reviews and more Importantly the size ! sounds like a stupid comment, but i have a built in shelf above tv, that is narrow and not very deep. the dimensions of this speaker fitted perfectly, also because the shelf was white, the fact that it came in white, was huge bonus.apart from all that, i wanted some thing that would perform well, with my NHT front speakers and onkyo receiver, the reviews were good, so i went with this model. like the sound so far and apparently after break in period it will sound even better. ( can't wait ). Pros: great look and sound Cons: not sure yet (:
DefTech ProCenter 1000 Written By Anonymous, Texas on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased a new home and left my speaker system in my old house (ProCenter 1000, (4) ProMonitor 800's) and did not hesitate to repurchase the same system even though my new house has a larger family room. The system actually sounds better due to the spacing of the speakers I was able to achieve in the new home even thought the room is 40% larger. My center channel is a bit lower and ther R/L/surrounds are higher and wider providing better separation. Additionally, I designed and built a custom mantle around my fireplace that embeds the ProCenter 1000 in the middle, so size was also a consideration. Pros: Great size from a small speker; available in white. Cons: None.
Great center channel speaker Written By Dave, Chicago on Tuesday, April 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a high quality, yet unobtrusive center channel speaker and this is definitely it. It's compact, great looking and has great sound. It's also priced well so I highly recommend it. Pros: Size, appearance, sound quality. Cons: None, but I did consider the wall mounting brackets which are pricey. I ended up not buying them and am glad I passed.
Good Sound Written By HumboldtRick, Eureka, CA on Wednesday, April 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I got the ProCinema 1000 system and it sounds really good. I just got the system set up, and they sound pretty good already. I'm running a Pioneer SC-1222-K digital amp (120W per channel @ 8 ohms). There's a lot to learn with this system, and there's still some adjusting to do, but I'm really satisfied with the sonic reproduction so far. For the record, I've been completely hooked on the sound of my Denon PMA-777 and KEF 104/2 with Kube for 30 years and have never found anything that sounds as sweet, and that includes this system. That being said, this is one of the best sounding 5.1 speaker systems I've heard. The 1000 is sufficient for my small room; I'm sure the 2000 is also great if you need it. Pros: Sound great Look good Cons: Inset wire posts make it hard to use bare wires, banana plugs are a must Shiny black finish collects dust (OK, that's more because I live in a rural setting, and everything's dusty!)
Great Written By Anonymous, Mankato mn on Thursday, March 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Big crisp sound from a small package
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By cody, mccleary,wa on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works well with my denon receiver Pros: Sounds great
Great center speaker Written By Rich B, Montvale, Nj on Tuesday, January 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Definitive Tech ProCenter 1000 is a solid center speaker for our large master bedroom. It can be easily mounted on the wall with two ProMounts. I got the white model, and this also complements a pair of white front Polk Audio OWM3 speakers. Pros: Great sound and look. Cons: None
Great sound Written By Anonymous, New York on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love how its sound in my apartment
Excellent addition Written By Steve A, Yorkville, IL on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used the reviews posted for this product choice and couldn't be more happy with the install. This center channel is driven by a Denon AVR 1613. Adding this center channel has improved the video and audio experience tremendously. highly recommended. Pros: easy set up, arrived from Crutchfield with no damage. Cons: none
Matched well with other DT speakers Written By Steve, Houston, TX on Thursday, October 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very satisfied. This center speaker matched very well with my BP7006 towers and 450 Studio monitors acting as surrounds. This center channel completes this A/V setup. Cosmetics are nice too. Arrived quickly and well packaged by DT & Crutchfield. Couldn't be happier. Pros: excellent quality, reasonable price. Cons: none
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By gfr, Tacoma, WA on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) easy to install with center speaker I have sound all around me. Pros: small and fits under my TV table Cons: none
Great Center Speaker Written By Killerjimbo, Reading, Pa on Thursday, September 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm one of those guys who is hard to satisfy. I try many different products until I am satisfied that I have found the very best that my budget will buy. Well, after trying probably seven different sound bars including a $2000 job I decided to go back to a receiver and separate speakers. This is the third set of separates I am trying and these will be my last. My previous set was the Polk Blackstone TL3's and they were very good. Nothing bad at all to say about them but I thought I could do better. These Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000's along with the ProCenter 1000, I believe are the best that I could get for the money and much more. The size is perfect for my set-up. For my ears these speakers WOW me whether it's music, movies or TV. I am so pleased and happy that I gave these speakers a try. Pros: Clear voice/dialog Cons: None
Center Speaker Written By JJAviles, Toa Naja, PR on Sunday, May 05, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound and look very good Pros: Perfect for my room Cons: none
great as a surround speaker Written By B Hansen, Dallas on Monday, April 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am using 2 ProCenter 1000s as surround speakers in a media room. Since the surround speakers were going to be mounted on the wall, I needed the speakers to be white and I wanted to speakers to match other DefTech speakers. I am using the ProCenter 1000s with StudioMonitor fronts and the balance is great. Movies, music and basic TV programs all sound terrific. I was also impressed with how the ProCenter 1000s kept up with the larger front speakers at high volume levels. Pros: plays well with larger DefTech speakers, available in white
Unbelievable Sound and Value Written By drtheel, greenville sc on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 This small speaker fills the room as well as most I have ever tested even at much higher prices. Clarity depth and accuracy. Wow. Amazing value. Pros: Powerful accurate Cons: Not enough time to enjoy it
Good Quality Written By BobK, West Michigan on Friday, January 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this as a space saver. I placed it in front of my 46" Samsung, but it blocked the bottom of the screen about an inch. I needed to build a platform to raise my TV, and I really wanted a little more of a warmer sound than these speakers would offer so I exchanged them for the 2000 model with no hassle. My platform on the stand needed to be 2 " high. Also I added an oak board to the back of the stand. Now, it is at ear level and the sound is much warmer. It works great. Pros: Small, Good Quality, Great Service at Crutchfield. Cons: Sound not warm enough.
Great Choice Written By Damitched, Robesonia, PA on Saturday, December 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It NEVER is on sale so don't wait for this superb choice for a center channel speaker. The sound quality blows me away. Great highs, lows, and everything in between. I waited for a scratch and dent but I think open box returns and scratch and dent are hard to come by. I am very critical of my sound system and all I can say is WOW!! The details of every voice and note are right there, no question about it. It is the perfect size for an entertainment cabinet. This was my first Definitive Technology speaker purchase and I will surely trust them with future purchases. I did the research and would not have spent the money unless it was 100 percent true what others have said about how truly great this center channel performs. Yes, there are less expensive speakers, but worth every penny for what this one delivers. Pros: FANTASTIC dynamic range, PERFECT size, EASY hookup, HANDSOME appearance, GREAT quality. Cons: None
ProCenter 1000 Written By napleskid, Louisville on Saturday, December 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this speaker to replace the center speaker of my KEF wall mounted 5.1 system. The center speaker is the most important speaker in a home theater system, and the KEF did not have the depth of range I desired. The Def Tech 1000 is the perfect companion to the rest of my KEF system. I chose the 1000 because of my size restriction. I don't feel I sacrificed much from what a larger center speaker would have provided. I was pleasantly surprised how good this speaker looks as well, the cabinet is very attractive. Considering the sound delivered and the low price, the ProCenter 1000 is a 10. Pros: Sound, compact size, attractive cabinet, reasonable price
Great Def Techs Written By Coxx110, Las Vegas NV on Thursday, November 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This completed my Def Tech masterpiece. I'm running a 7.1 system but for some reason my center channel was the last thing I ordered. Once setup, my house absolutely shook with base and crisp clean highs. I can not believe what a difference the smallest piece of my sound system makes. Pros: Everything Cons: None
Tiny But Tough! Written By BrianM, Libertyville,IL on Monday, September 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I chose this speaker because of space limitations in my surround system.It is an excellent center channel provided you have a high quality subwoofer to roll off everything below 75-100 hz. Pros: Small size and excellent midrange and treble response. Cons: none
Excellent Center Channel Written By Larry C, Pittsburgh, Pa on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have tried and used about 10 Center Channels in my lifetime and needed a small Center Channel that would have high power handling and would play down to at least 50HZ. I ordered the Definative Pro Center 1000. It met every expectation I was hoping for. High power handling and clean sound. I have Dynaudio for the rest of my speakers along with Appo, Parasound and Octave Tube Amp for Front Stage.For the money, nothing touches this speaker. If I had room I would get one with a powered sub but it won't fit proplerly. The Fit and Finish is superb and can play with the best of audiophile speakers. I am totally satisfied with Definative Products as well as Crutchfield Customer Service. Best Regards Larry C. Pittsburgh , Pa Pros: High Power Handling, Clean and will go down to 45hz or so . Cons: Can't think of any Cons
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By ddm, Peabody, Ma on Saturday, March 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased this item as part of the Pro-Cinema 1000 package. Great sound and quality. I would recommend this package. Pros: Sound, quality, compactness, appearance Cons: A bit pricy
ProCenter 1000 Written By Kevin, Hingham, MA on Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) So far so good...easy install, great look, andm impressive. Haven't quite "cranked it up" yet, but am looking forward to it. Pros: Value, aesthetics Cons: None
Tops in Small Unit Written By Hal E, New York City on Thursday, September 01, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent, clear crips sound from small center speaker. Makes talking heads on TV far more easy to understand. Also nicely designed cabinet if exposed. Definitive's products are attractive visually as well as aurelly.
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By bob, rhinebeck on Friday, May 27, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) a lot of bang for the buck exceeded my expectations
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By Spandey, Delaware on Sunday, May 22, 2011 One of the best center channel speaker for my 450 sq. ft. of media room.
Excellant full sound Written By Anonymous, Stuart, Florida on Friday, April 01, 2011 I replaced an Infinity center channel speakers from an Infinity surround sound speaker system. The satellite speaker were fine and so was the sub-woofer. I needed a good center channel to give the system a full body sound for dialogue. The Definitive Tech Pro 1000 has more than accomplished this. The dialogue from films is now very robust. I recommend this speaker for anyone who needs better center channel voice and richer mids
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By WarrenD, San Francisco, CA on Thursday, March 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow, o'wow, what a sound from such a little but heavy box. When i received the unit, i installed it in ten minutes and replace my mini-Bose center speaker and what a BIG difference in sound quality and volume. i put on a adventure movie that had great sound effects and could not believe my ears. For multiple years, i have been underating the sound qualities of movies and action shows on my sound system and should have upgraded years ago. The service from Crutchfield was great as i was waiting for the last component (sound wires) to shipped and was not aware of its delivery that evening until i read an email on my blackberry telling me that it had arrived on my front porch. if it were not for the great service notification system that Crutchfield possess, the last order would be sitting at my front door over the weekend.
Definitive Technology ProCenter 1000 Written By Mark S, Margate, FL on Thursday, January 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the Onkyo TX-NR808 along with Definitive speakers and it sounds great. I have a wall unit with my 50" Samsung flat screen. My couch backs right up to a wall and it prevented me from installing speakers behind it and my wife did not think it would look good to have satellite speakers on the wall behind left and right of the couch. In fact, she refused to let me install the satellites no matter how small and she said the only way I could do it is to install them in the ceiling so no body could see them. "Light Bulb" went off, great Idea. I purchased Definitive ProMonitor 800s for each side of the TV, ProCenter 1000, ProSub1000, and 3 DI 4.5 ceiling speakers to create 6.1 sound. The speakers are mounted approx 12' above the couch and I could not ask for better sound. The perfect setup!
Good Value Written By Donald, Houston, TX on Sunday, November 01, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Gets five stars for good sound at this price. This speaker delivers good sound at a great price. I employ it as the center speaker in a surround sound system in a 17 ft deep by 15 feet wide room with 9 ft ceilings. My opinion is that it would also work in rooms larger than this. Does a great job of anchoring the center sound. Sound quality is good, not great. But for the money it delivers. Tone is biased to mid-range and bass. Construction is excellent. Has a center screw foot in the bottom back allowing the speaker to be tilted forward if the speaker is on a high shelf. This is how I have it installed. Also has two threaded mounting inserts for wall mounting. I got the white model.
Superb Written By Shawn, Clarkston, WA. on Sunday, August 30, 2009 This center channel is top notch. The size is small, although the sound is big. The best purchase I have made in a long time. Thanks Crutchfield for carrying Definitive Technology!
It's About Time Crutchfield!!! Written By Nick, Atlanta, GA on Friday, July 31, 2009 Definitive Technology speakers are critically acclaimed for their value and performance. I'm so glad Crutchfield now carries their line. Check out the reviews yourself online and you'll see. Buy this speaker, you won't be disappointed! For the money, you can't beat it. These will outperform any Polk, Klipsch, Mirage, and Infinity speakers in their price range...easy!

Garbage Dreams
Cairo is one of the largest cities in Egypt, but for decades there was no formal garbage collection system in most of the city; instead, many neighborhoods were kept clean by zaballeen, or garbage people. The zaballeen would pick up trash from the streets, sometimes being paid a few pennies for their efforts, but most would support themselves by selling cans, bottles and other materials they found to recycling firms. This makeshift system proved to be surprisingly effective and efficient, but when Cairo's local government entered into a contract with an international sanitation firm to collect the city's trash, some sixty thousand zaballeen suddenly found themselves without a livelihood. Filmmaker Mai Iskander examines the culture of Cairo's garbage people through the lives of three young men who collect and recycle trash in the documentary Garbage Dreams. Iskander spent four years following and filming quick-witted sixteen-year-old Osama, class-conscious eighteen-year-old Nabil, and bright seventeen-year-old Adham as they struggle to make a living and a future in a profession whose days are numbered. Garbage Dreams received its world premiere at the 2009 South By Southwest Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

cool, funny, nice, awesome, sweet, caring, honest; a person you can tell anything to, someone who will make you laugh when you want to cry; someone who thinks they have no one when really everyone cares about them; not judgemental; doesn't let stuff get to him; laughs at himself; underestimated; most likely plays a sport like baseball or football and just happens to be great at it; all around amazing kid who doesn't get enough credit from himself or other people.

a male who is well known amongst his friends as a womanizer and has a huge inflated ego. But he is also goonishly handsome and a blast to hang out with. As long as you dont fall for him you will be fine...but good luck with that cuz he is just so charismatic. Once you do fall for a Brett you will never be able to look at another guy the same way.
I talked to Brett for almost 8.5 hours last night online!!!

Brett hates to lose, and excessively use the word "oh". Brett can be sweet when he wants to be, but is quite sneaky. One good thing about Brett is he looks amazing in a towel. Brett may also go by the name killer or dear.
Wow, did you see Brett in that towel?!!?

So I was at my some what local hobby shop recently looking to cash in a gift certificate from my daughter and I stumbled upon something I hadn't seen in ages. As it turns out there were a lot of models I haven't seen since I was a kid. The owner told me that the oldies were being re released to some extent, meaning that not all the oldies are being re released.
So anywho I'm looking at all the new old stuff and stumbled upon.......(drum roll).........The Beatles Yellow Submarine kit! The gift certificate didn't quite cover half of the price but I looked at the wife and said sorry this is going with me. She said okay with a bit of an eye roll and I'm the happy owner of a really cool Yellow Submarine kit.
It comes packaged in a tin collectors box and has a pretty cool poster inside as well. Now I don't know about the original issue but this one floats and moves through the water via a rubber band for the prop and at 9" long X 3" wide I'm sure that someone would be able to make this toy r/c. At least for a few functions. Well here are the pictures, oh and it's not exactly cheap at $47.00 but it sure is a cool model.

A Little Dark Reading
April 13, 2012 by Webmaster
Brought to you by Sarah @ GERE Branch Library Night Runner by Max Turner Zack Thomson is a sane teenager living in a mental ward - and he's pretty much okay with that. After his parents died, he developed some very strong and weird allergies and the mental ward was a place that could handle his needs. His severe allergy to sunlight means he mostly only deals with the night staff, and Nurse Ophelia does the best job with his crazy food restrictions anyway. She makes a strawberry smoothie that soothes his raging hunger and doesn't make him feel sick. Things are running pretty smoothly until the night that the freaky guy on the motorcycle crashes through the wall into the lobby of the ward and tells him to run. Suddenly Zack has questions and lots of them! Keeper of the Night by Kimberly Willis Holt Isabel's mother died, and nobody is talking about it. Not her dad, who sleeps curled up on the floor next to the bed he used to share with mom, not her sister who has nightmares and wets the bed every night, and not her brother, who begins taking a knife to his room each night and carving his anger into the wall. Isabel is doing everything she knows how to do to keep the family afloat, but unless she gets some help, tragedy may strike again. Night of the Bat by Paul Zindel Jake is a spoiled 15-year-old, or at least that is everyone's opinion of him up until now. So when his dad's expedition to study bats in the Amazon is in trouble, Jake flies down, determined to prove that he can help. But the man-eating monster they find themselves up against is something out of a nightmare, and may be beyond anyone's ability to destroy - let alone a teenager on his own in the jungle. Up All Night by Abrahams, Bray, Levithan, McCormick, Weeks & Yang Six short stories about thing that keep you up all night: Babysitting your little brother and his dying pet mouse; Going out of town to a concert with your stupid friends who drink too much and having to call your dad and his new sweetheart for a place to crash; Deciding that the party is lame and bailing out to find what you REALLY want to be doing; Learning to drive secretly at night and discovering power you never knew you had; And a graphic short about a monkey without a mother - all of which may very well keep YOU up and pondering all night long! In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Riska used to be a girl with a family, back in 1701. Now she's an old vampire, forced into this unlife against her will and at a very high cost, powerful, angry and alone. There are no sparkly love stories here, just tragedy, loss and power. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness Do you love the idea of a dusty British library reading room, a mysterious magical manuscript that disappears as soon as it's discovered, and a forbidden love story between a witch and a vampire? This book is gothic, dark, mysterious, romantic, peopled with witches, vampires, and daemons, rich with history - and best yet...great characters and really well written!! It'll leave you craving book #2...which is due out July 10th!! The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Prepare to be up all night. The setting is a unique circus that travels secretly and only opens at midnight. The author will entrance and enchant you with the descriptions of this circus that are so amazingly delicious and addictive, they will haunt your imagination forever - and that's just the setting. The story itself, a complex, fascinating story of REAL magic, amoral competition, and accidental love will leave you breathless and cheering for the characters to beat all odds and win together. Nightjohn by Gary Paulsen A historical novel - not Paulsen's usual fare but he's produced a remarkable story here. Sarny is a slave girl in the 1850's. Nightjohn is also a slave - or is he? He can read, and he's teaching Sarny how too, despite the huge risk. When Sarny accidentally spills the secret the punishments are beyond harsh, and she's sure that life and death are more important than learning how to read - but Nightjohn has some amazing plans in store. Night by Elie Wiesel The most tragic and horrific story on this list, and it's not fiction. When Elie Wiesel's family was forcibly removed from their home and taken to a concentration camp in German-occupied Poland during WWII, Elie was 15 years old. He was a deeply religious boy, who lovingly studied his Jewish faith and dreamed of studying the even more mystical and complex cabbala. Enduring the horror of the Holocaust on the very front lines was a test not only of his will to survive, but his sanity, and his faith. He is rocked body and soul by this experience, and again by surviving it. Much later he found himself compelled to share it, and it is an important story of our history, one that has many difficult lessons to teach today's students. This book is not an easy read, but it is a critical one. Night Fires by George Edward Stanley Set in Oklahoma in 1923, this is the story of a boy whose father was recently killed in a car accident. He and his mother move to Lawton, OK from Washington DC, where their loss and grief get entangled with the racial unrest happening in this small town. Woodrow just wants to fit in, and find some friends who might help him deal with his sadness. His mom is nearly too sad to get out of bed, so when his neighbor offers some fatherly support, Woodrow is drawn in. But there is a strong KKK presence in Lawton, something his own father would have been set against - and his new friends are up to their pointy white hats involved with the Klan. Woodrow has to make a stand, but how many horrible acts will he commit in the name of weakness and need before he finds his strength? The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff Mackie doesn't remember the whole story - he was too little when it happened, but his sister does. She was four years old, awake in the night, and she watched while her little brother was stolen from his crib, and replaced with Mackie. And she loved him anyway. As did the rest of his family, even though they knew in their hearts he wasn't quite right. They buy all plastic silverware when they realize the iron in the metal hurts him. They protect him from harm when they discover the scent of blood makes him faint. They make up allergies to explain his pallor, and excuses to explain his absence from from church - even though his dad is the minister. But when another child is replaced, and the changeling dies, Mackie steps up. He's the only one who can go to the fae underworld to find out the truth, and the only one who can change it. Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill Based on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692, this novel takes us inside the circle of girls who cried "Witch". The core group of three, Ann, Mercy and Margaret, and four other girls who come and go from the group, as the power dynamic shifts...and shift it does. It's all about power. In this time and place, young women had little to none and this was an opportunity to seize some. The power impress, to have your parents listen to you and treat you with respect, to get back at people in the town who had harmed you or your friends, and power to control the group itself. Before long, the frenzy they've whipped up results in not just imprisonments for the accused, but some hangings, and the girls begin to fear that they're in way over their heads. |

Let me fix that comment for you:
If you look more back, then you will see that one of the main reasons why KDE earned so much hate which now evolved in an often unexplained antipathy, is that it was always very well engineered but initially used a non-free toolkit. In addition to that, the GNU folks were jealous that within only two years the KDE devs managed to get a full-featured desktop environment up and running which revealed that after their Hurd kernel they failed a second time with GNUstep. Forced to effectively abandon GNUstep they built GNOME on designs matching Microsoft Windows OLE and COM technologies. Secretly impressed with KDEs source code, they ported KHTML to GNOME and called it gtkhtml which aside from the mandatory copyright header in the source code files was never again mentioned that gtkhtml is really just ported KDE software. Later Apple were so impressed with KHTML while lacking features it was extremely well designed , they abandoned working with Mozilla and forked KHTML into WebKit. After that even Google joined WebKit and GNOME adopted KDE technology a second time.
More envy from the GNU/GNOME crowd came from the fact that they never ever were able to build an office suite. Once started with big words, only Gnumeric emerged which was never properly married with 3rd party word processor AbiWord. OTOH Nokia being impressed with KOffice/Calligra, opted to base their mobile office viewer on that code base.
GNOME for years not able to modernize their platform looked once again full of envy to KDE who were able to completely rewrite their desktop, give their window manager composite features, etc. In their despair GNOME imported Clutter and Mutter, developed by 3rd party Intel, into their source tree to modernize at all costs to compete against KDE who were at that time already making advances in the mobile space with Plasma Netbook whose Search and Launch paradigm was then adapted by GNOME, together with KDEs Activities and an OSX-like dock and merged as GNOME Shell. In the meantime KDE revolutionize once again with silent ports of their technology to QML which GNOME once again cant match, resulting in further trash-talking to not lose completely.
Well this is obvious:

No BS, he's not in the Computer Science department, literally.
Wonder how he learned to code? Given he is listed as a Senior Software Engineer
although his last job was Senior Systems Architect; Computing Lead: Advanced Camera for Surveys. WTF??
Systems Architect isn't coding. It's building computers and loading operating systems.
For fukz sake RedHat. You hiring amateurs?
I remember my old company hiring a PolySci major and a Stock Broker as Software Developers.
I use the System-Monitor now for ~1 year and it never broke, same with the volume mixer and some other smaller stuff... Good that is a plugin for minimum 3.4 (I just installed it into 3.6 with Fedora 18, no prob)
btw. xfce4 and KDE have a start-menu and it breaks all the time!
Here's some insane ramblings from his blog.
We want every corner of GNOME to be delightful and well cared for. The little things. Like how the calm stability of the sidebar reassures and anchors me. Or how the way automatically updating the name of my computer in the sidebar, when it changes, delights me. Or the way the application allows me to focus on my goal shows me respect. This is what we want.

How to Select
How to Select a Bathroom Fan
Selecting the proper bathroom fan for your application is important to maximize the lifespan of the fan and parts.
Bathroom Fan Manufacturers:Deciding which manufacturer to purchase from is important. Often times, bathroom manufacturers use different quality parts based on the given price point. Economy grade fans may use less durable parts and may have a slightly shorter lifespan. Whereas, higher end models typically are quieter, last longer, and have more power.
CFM Rating:The CFM rating refers to cubic feet per minute. This is the volume of air that is moved by the fan during a 60 second period. The CFM rating is important in case you are installing the fan in an area requiring proper ventilation such as a bathroom or kitchen to avoid moisture build and bathroom mold.
Bathroom fans that have a higher CFM rating will be able to remove steam and moisture much faster than less powerful fans. For small areas such as single bathrooms, a 50-100 CFM fan will suffice, however, for kitchen applications or large bathrooms, or steam rooms, higher power models are recommended.
Fan Types:At Westside Wholesale, we sell many types of bathroom fans based on your preference and need. Combination bathroom fans include features such as night light, heaters, and humidity sensors depending on your needs.
Fan Loudness:Bathroom fans come in several ratings of noise level from Standard to Super Quiet. The output noise level is rated in Sones, to give a accurate measure of what to expect from your fan. Super Quiet bath fans can reach a Sone level as little as <0.3 Sones. At this level, the fan is virtually silent and produces less than 1/3rd the noise of a running refrigerator. The Sone level has a direct impact on the price point of the fan, meaning that less expensive fans typically generate more noise.
Installation ApplicationIf your application is a retrofit, than it is important to make sure the dimensions of the fan you select match the dimensions of the fan to be replaced to reduce rough in time and effort. It is also important to know if the fan is hardwired or if it has a standard outlet plug.
Duct Size:Most bath fans use a 4" duct to output the air from the fan. If you are replacing a bathroom fan, you will want to check the exiting duct size that is being used by your ventilation system to reduce further modifications.

Newsgroups: alt.skinheads,alt.politics.white-power,alt.politics.nationalism.white,soc.culture.belgium Subject: ADL: Skinhead International: Belgium Summary: The ADL's "Skinhead International: A Worldwide Survey of Neo-Nazi Skinheads" Followup-To: alt.skinheads Archive/File: pub/orgs/american/adl/skinhead-international/skins-belgium Last-Modified: 1995/08/16 Belgium A small neo-Nazi Skinhead scene exists in Belgium, centered around Antwerp, the city with the largest following of the far-right political party Vlaams Blok (VB), or Flemish Bloc. Neo-Nazi Skinheads in Antwerp congregate in cafes in the area of the Vrijdagmarkt, a well-known square. Their favorite haunt is reportedly a cafe called Gilby's, when Skins from Belgium, Holland, Germany and elsewhere mix with members of far-right Belgian groups including the Vlaams Blok, the Nationalistisch Studenten Verbond (Nationalist Student Association), Voorpost (Outpost) and Were Di (Protect Yourself). After a Hitler's birthday celebration at Gilby's in April 1993, some 20 Skinheads went to another cafe where they wrecked the interior and beat up two patrons. Skinheads were at the center of an episode of rioting in the town of Sint-Niklaas in September 1993, in which an immigrant and a police officer suffered injuries. The incident occurred after a concert by a group called the Mushrooms. The police apprehended 41 Skinheads whom they later released and escorted out of town; none were from Sint-Niklaas, according the the police. Vlaams Blok In the political arena, Skinheads in Belgium are naturally drawn to the Vlaams Blok, the country's most significant far-right party. The VB, whose program is Flemish nationalist and anti-immigrant, won more than 10 percent of the Flemish vote - inlcuding over 25 percent in Antwerp - in the November 1991 parliamentary elections. The party received 28 percent of the Antwerp vote in the 1994 local elections, making it the largest party in the city. Other far-right organizations with links to the Belgian Skinheads have included the Jonge Wacht (Youth Guard), based in Antwerp and Ghent, and the francophone froup L'Assaut (Attack), which dissolved in September 1993. Its leader, Herve Van Laethem, attended a March 1993 gathering in Paris of more than 120 neo-Nazi Skinheads from across Europe. L'Assaut produced an eponymous monthly publication; following dissolution of the group, Van Laethem and others from L'Assaut began publishing a neo-Nazi sheet called _Devenir_, named for the French SS organ during World War II. Van Laethem died in 1994. The British Skinhead organization Blood and Honour, which produces concerts and publishes a skinzine of the same name, has a Belgian division. At least two Belgian skinzines have appeared: _Blind Justice_, in Liege, and _Pure Impact_, in Brussels. _Pure Impact_ has also offered tapes of Skinhead music for sale. The British skinzine _Last Chance_ reported in early 1994 that two British bands, Squadron and Celtic Warriors, had a recent gig in Belgium abruptly halted halfway through the first band's set, possibly due to outbreaks of fighting. In August 1992, local authorities canceled a performance by the British Skinhead band Skrewdriver that had been scheduled for a Flemish nationalist event. A number of Belgian Skinheads reportedly follow "Odinism," the worship of the Norse god Odin, a doctrin said to have a sizable number of adherents in the Vlaams Blok as well. Ax Attack Two Belgian Skinheads, Steve Frank Anthony Cirock and Clivo Bruno, and a Florida Ku Klux Klansman were involved in an October 1992 attack on a black man in northern Florida. The Belgians, who had come to the United States to attend a KKK gathering in North Carolina, joined their Florida host, Klansman Jack Bullock, in chasing the car of Benjamin Ross, whom they accused of stealing a pack of cigarettes from a convenience store. After ramming Ross's car with his pick-up truck, Bullock began shooting at him. The chase and the shooting continued on foot, while Cirock attacked Ross's car with an ax. Bullock was convicted of aggravated assault with a firearm and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Cirock, who returned with Bruno to Belgium, was charged with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, which authorities deemed insufficient to warrant his extradition.

Twins try to resume dominance of White Sox
Deduno, Santiago square off at Target Field in series finale
It's often been by the narrowest of margins, but the Twins have a pretty good handle on their series with the division rival White Sox this season.
Entering Sunday's series finale -- the White Sox took two of the first three of the four-game set -- Minnesota has won 10 of the 15 meetings this year. And 12 of those 15 games have been decided by three runs or fewer. The Twins are 8-4 in 12 those ballgames.
Sunday afternoon's contest will pit White Sox lefty Hector Santiago and Twins righty Samuel Deduno.
Santiago squared off against the first-place Tigers in his last start, yielding 10 baserunners over five-plus innings but giving up just two runs (one earned).
He did it all while battling the pain from a morning root canal, which left the right side of his face swollen all day.
"My mindset was like I was going to go no matter what," Santiago said. "The only way I wasn't going to go is if I wasn't able to walk. I said I was going to pitch no matter what, if my body was aching or whatever it was. I definitely didn't want to miss it."
Still, he's winless since June 21. The southpaw has seven no-decisions in that span with two losses. In eight starts since June 28, Santiago has given up more than three runs just once (Aug. 8 against the Yankees, when he gave up four).
The White Sox, overall, have won eight of their last 13 and will make a stop in Kansas City against the surging Royals before heading home.
Chicago went 14-4 against Minnesota in 2012, but is 2-8-2 in the last 12 season matchups against its division rivals.
White Sox: Ever-changing team
The White Sox have dealt a number of key contributors over the course of this season, so manager Robin Ventura has put an emphasis on the fact that anything that happened earlier this season was with a different group.
"I think at this point, we're in the position that we're in," Ventura said. "There's no need to sit there and keep bashing on the group that was basically here before. It always changes every time you start trading out people. We did get rid of good people, but we're getting different guys in here and it becomes a different feel even walking through the clubhouse of what's in there and who's on the field."
"Everything sort of changes with the feel of what's going out there."
Reliever Jesse Crain, starter Jake Peavy and outfielder Alex Rios have all been traded away this season. And despite the White Sox being in last place in the American League Central, Ventura has still placed a strong emphasis on not giving up, and on looking for wins as preparation for next season.
"To me that's always important," Ventura said. "I think even going into next year you have to do that. You're a professional and you need to make sure you're going out there and trying to win games. It goes on people's records, as far as players."
Twins: Mauer crushing Chicago
• Twins slugger Joe Mauer has had plenty of success against Chicago in his career, batting .327 in 135 games. This year, he's batting .386 (22-for-57) in 14 games.
Mauer has hit three homers in his last seven games overall.
• Deduno has given up four runs in each of his last two starts, though he scattered five hits over six innings in his last outing after surrendering 12 hits in 5 2/3 in the one before that. He took the loss on Tuesday against the Indians.
"I lost a little bit of control and they attacked pretty good, too," Deduno said after his last outing. "I tried to make my pitches, but they kept going the wrong way."
Worth noting
• The Twins are 15-14 since the All-Star break.
• The White Sox are no stranger to close games. Fourteen of their last 16 have been decided by three runs or fewer. They're 6-8 in those contests.

Mini MINI – the Scooter E concept
Article Summary
How do you get more mini than a MINI? Try the MINI Scooter E, a new concept to be shown at the Paris Motor Show which takes the design language of MINI's current line-up and adds a healthy dose of retro styling to create an all-electric two wheeler – a first for the brand. The Scooter E uses an in-hub motor at the rear wheel powered by a lithium-ion battery which is recharged via a conventional socket using an on-board cable. Conventional keys are discarded in favor of a smartphone, which also becomes the display panel when slotted into the integrated dock.

Italy no bail out yet (Do Germans understand that?) Well ECB buying mostly Ital gilts.
Crazy world we live in where Italy being a net contributor has to borrow to lend at a loss.
Economist is right against Berlusconi however Grillo worries them.
Economist stands for global capitalism (croynism). Italian croynism annoys them, its the mock outrage of a thief having something stolen.
So when Spain and Ireland where gourging on cheap credit not a whimper from the Economist just an admonishing attitude towards Italy, they should be borrowing more at household level = more profits for the Economist sorry banks.
Could you imagine if Italy had done a Spain/Eire? i.e. housing bubble
Euro has had positives for Spain/Ireland and now the pain. There have been few positives for Italy. No Euro Italy would have sunk but wouldn't have caused a ripple - its ability to pay these OLD debts was ok.

Porsche's 911 GT3 R Hybrid Version 2.0
Last year in the Nürburgring 24 Hour race, Porsche's 911 GT3 R Hybrid held the lead for more than eight hours before problems unrelated to the hybrid system saw it relegated through the field. The organizer of the event thought the performance potential of the vehicle was so auspicious that for this year it crippled the rear-mounted petrol engine's performance to just 448 bhp. So Porsche built a completely new vehicle to the same design around the new regulations, lowered the weight, upped the electrical drive to the front wheels to 200 bhp and set out to run the same lap times. Not only did it achieve the same lap times, it delivered even better fuel consumption, and four hours after the start of this year's race, it hit the lead once more ...
