This beautiful hardback text, will remind some of you of Granny's old fashioned school book, and indeed, that is what it is! This book was written in the early 1900's and uses Charlotte Mason's methods of teaching English. This is an unhurried, very natural approach to English. This method ensures that the student learns various skills as he/she writes and copies, and it is more effective and better remembered than workbook exercises. The book will be used for two years, recommended for about Grade 2 and 3. I suspect some children will need to older, so use the age as a guideline.
The book is re-usuable, it is not a workbook, so your child will not write in it, and you may save it for your younger children. Currently at the price of R154 from Loot, this is a real saving.
This book is not intended to be used too early by primary school children, I would say well into Grade 2 at the earliest. Parents can judge how ready their child is by scanning through the book and seeing if the child would be able to cope with the tasks. The book requires narration and copywork, which most children really only get into close to the age of 9 or 10, though there are exceptions. The beauty of this book is that many of the exercises can be done orally, and so that lessen your childs workload.
Simple, practical grammar, such as correct use of language, and punctuation and writing are covered, but not intense grammar as seen in other programs. You will not see parts of speech and diagramming;-)
The lessons are interspersed with black and white reproductions of famous paintings, which are presented as picture study lessons. If you have access to the internet, you could look up the original in colour and show your child.
Although the publisher does provide a teacher guide, I have not found in neccesary at all. At this level the answers are simple enough. Some of the exercises rely on knowledge of crafts, machinery and occupations from by-gone days, these could either be substituted with more modern examples, or you and your child could look things up and so learn more.
My only criticism of the book is that it does not lie open flat. We resorted to using a big office clip to keep it open. However, the hardcover binding is a welcome addtion in a large homeschool family, as it can be used repeatedly by many children.
The book also contains letter writing, dictation and composition lessons, which I think are more than adequate for a Grade 2 child. Another wonderful aspect of this book is that it covers poetry, and encourages memorization of poetry. With the addition of phonics/spelling and regular reading, this would complete your English curriculum.
As the parent, your involvement will be on a moderate level, in other words, most days, you will be required to go over the lesson with the younger child, and then the child could be left alone to complete the lesson. Occasionally you will be required the whole lesson, such as on dictation lessons.
From a South African point of view, there is quite a bit of American content, however, this can easily be adapted, and is still a welcome addition to the South African homeschooler. We substitute South African bird and animal names, towns and presidents wherever possible;-) We even replaced a poem or two.

By Dan Bauer
"Dynamite comes in small packages." Five little words that made a world of difference in my life.
That fragment was delivered to me inscribed on a small medallion by my middle school basketball coach, Steve Christman. His words remain as clear as the water of Lake Superior and their impact on me as great as the majesty of that aptly named Great Lake. Decades have passed and with them the tight shorts we wore and the salt tablets we consumed, but the power of his words on a young athlete remain as strong as ever.
I never took the time to tell him – because it wasn't until I had become a husband, father and head coach that I realized what he had so imperceptibly done for me. He may have told that to every 4-foot-9 guard he coached, but in my heart it was meant just for me. Never again would I let my lack of size get in the way of my athletic dreams. Real confidence is a wonderful thing for a 13 year-old.
Far different from the "feel good" confidence we pour over kids today like syrup on a stack of pancakes. False praise breeds false confidence.
Coach Christman actually required you to be good at things. And when you weren't, you felt like you were letting him down. He taught us how to be better and instilled real confidence. Enough confidence for a diminutive guard to dribble the ball into traffic, turn it over and cost us one of only two games we lost in two years. Seed planted – don't be afraid to make mistakes, but learn from them. Pistol Pete Maravich's dribbling drills became an after supper ritual following that game.
My wife is always talking about the seeds she believes are planted by good coaches. One of the conundrums of coaching is that you don't always get to see those seeds grow.
I didn't realize back then that the small packages of dynamite Coach Christman was talking about could easily have been the seeds of character. Seeds we all have the opportunity to plant. It just takes a few well-spoken words of sincere encouragement to make a monumental difference in the life of a young athlete.
From the first shot in any game until the last, you never know which might be the game-winner, so you keep shooting. In coaching you never know which words will strike that chord of confidence, so you keep searching for the positive and reinforcing it. Sometimes what we all need more than anything is someone to believe in us.
Too many of us are infinitely better at selling false confidence and criticizing then providing meaningful support. One parent, who I believe sees the big picture, gave me this advice on coaching, "You will know exactly how many things you have done wrong to a few kids. You will almost never know how many things you have done right for all of them."
I recently had a past player, who I had not seen for probably 10 years take the time to tell me just what an important impact I had on his life. There is no victory that could rival the significance of the message he delivered to me. I am still coaching today because of players and moments like that.
This week I reached out to Coach Christman, now in his 60s, to let him know exactly what his words meant to me. Before I could finish explaining who I was, and that I was sure he wouldn't remember me, he calmly interrupted, "Dan Bauer, one of the best point guards I ever coached, sure I remember you."
Forty years later he is still building confidence – I had a sudden urge to find a pick-up basketball game.
As I hung up the phone, I was overcome by a feeling of gratification that words can't adequately describe. Like the anticipation of watching someone open a great Christmas present, I was filled with joy. The seeds of character that Coach Christman had planted so many years ago were finally in full bloom and we were both able to enjoy their magnitude.
All of us had a Coach Christman in our life. When the seeds they planted start to grow, reach out to those that have made a difference in your life – before it is too late.
Coach Christman was right, dynamite does come in small packages.
Turns out he wasn't just taking about me.

I think the RC Administration has the ship and crew on to fast a turnaround schedule. The ship is only at the port from 7am to 4pm to offload all the passengers and restock all the supplies needed for the next cruise leaving at 4PM. This has the crew and staff working long hours just to meet this schedule. This may be causing some missed issues on the ships that other passengers are complaining about.
Another issue I saw on this ship was there did not seem to be a very good show/entertainment schedule. Most of the shows I wanted to see or do were scheduled at meal times , so you had to choose weather to eat or go to a show and hope the food was still available after the show or game was over.
All in all we had a wonderful time on the Enchantment of the Seas but do believe it could have been better with the few things I mentioned above corrected

Researchers say vegetative brain-injury patients may be more conscious than previously realized.
In a new study, scientists used MRI brain scans to evaluate 54 unresponsive patients.
The researchers asked them to imagine certain scenarios such as navigating their hometown streets or playing tennis.
The activity triggered brain activation in five of the patients. The other 49 patients showed no signs of consciousness on their scans.
One of the study's authors, Martin Monti, is with the Medical Research Council Cognitive and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge, England. He marveled over the case of a 29-year-old patient who was able to answer yes-or-no questions by envisioning certain scenes doctors asked him to imagine.
"We were stunned when this happened," Martin said. "I find it literally amazing. This was a patient who was believed to be vegetative for five years."
Experts say the findings highlight the difficulty of accurately evaluating people with severe brain damage.
The study, authored by researchers in Britain and Germany, was published online Wednesday by the New England Journal of Medicine.

To the uninitiated, buying gifts for kids can feel like a treasure hunt without a map through store aisles and websites packed for the holidays. But sussing out clues may not be as difficult as it looks. Has the young recipient ever offered you one of his homemade cupcakes? Have you seen her tear around on a little ride-on bike? Is the living room often strewn with building bricks or stacking blocks?
Casual buyers looking for presents for children they don't know well need only focus on general interests. Mom and Dad will likely take on the "it" gift of the season, or farm it out to grandma, leaving lots of room for other shoppers.
If that sounds too complicated, reach for the classics — in books, apparel or toys, said Rachel Jarrett, general manager of the children's department for the sale site Gilt Groupe. A sweater with room for size variation, or mittens or hats, for example. Try toys in wood, including eco-friendly bamboo.
Anne Keane, fashion director for Lucky magazine, suggests keeping it simple. "Generally, staying with moderately classic, small gifts is the easiest route to take for all age groups," she said.
A few suggestions by interest:
Foodie kids
■ Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven: This version of the classic is space-agey in purple and doesn't require a light bulb. The baking pan is bigger and it also comes with a cupcake pan. Two mixes included. From Hasbro.
■ Nest kitchenware: These sets from Joseph Joseph of six or eight pieces include durable measuring cups and mixing bowls in bright, child-friendly colors.
■ Go Anywhere Grill: Parents looking to keep their 3-year-olds away from the hot backyard grill will appreciate this 33-piece wooden hibachi-like play grill set. Add on the My Backyard BBQ Fix-ins Starter Set with condiments, also wood. Both by Hape.
■ Kid cookbooks: Many exist. Find one with step-by-step instructions and color photos of the finished dish. Have a kid-size apron personalized or wrap up a play food set.
Harry Potter kids
■ Wands: The HP area of the Warner Bros. site, Wbshop.com, has a nice selection of collectible wands complete with fancy boxes straight from the Ollivanders shop. Warning: While fun to hold, they're true collectibles and could break if treated roughly.
■ Harry Potter Lego: HP sets abound. Reach for the Knight Bus. The purple triple-Decker bus set just out over the summer includes three mini-figures, of Harry, Stan Shunpike and Ernie Prang, along with Harry's owl Hedwig. From Lego.
■ "Lego Harry Potter: Years 5-7": For Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation 3, PSP, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Games for Windows PC. Continues the saga of "Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4." Recommended for ages 10 and up. From Warner Bros.
■ T-shirts: Chances of you buying a different one than your young HP fanatic already has are in your favor. A call to mom or dad for the child's favorite house at Hogwarts will help you drill down to just the right crest, robe or scarf, and lead to more token HP-by-house gifts like key chains, magnets and writing journals.
Bookish kids
■ "Every Thing On It": More than 100 never-before-published poems and drawings from Shel Silverstein's personal archives. The second original book published since Silverstein's death in 1999. Parents and little kids love him for read-alouds. HarperCollins, ages 9-12.
■ "The Hunger Games": A cloth-cover collector's edition of the runaway best-seller by Suzanne Collins in a gifty slipcase. Scholastic, ages 12 and up.
■ "The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories": Collection of seven original stories written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss. Originally published in magazines in 1950-51 but never in book form. Looking to impress the parents, much? Random House, ages 6-9.
■ "Bumble-Ardy": A new one from Maurice Sendak featuring a pig and a belated birthday bash. It's the first book in 30 years both written and illustrated by the 83-year-old Sendak, though he first created it in the '70s. HarperCollins, ages 4-8.
■ "Goodnight iPad": Yes, a board book parody in the style of the Margaret Wise Brown classic "Goodnight Moon." The little bunny characters are tech-crazed and the old lady in the rocking chair is overwhelmed by the "bings, bongs and beeps of e-mails and tweets." By Ann Droyd, a cheeky pseudonym for David Milgrim. Penguin, all ages.
Lego kids
■ Lego lunch set: Licensed Lego lunch box in the shape of a brick, with two mini-boxes also made to look like the real thing, along with a drinking bottle topped by an iconic yellow Lego head for the cap. From Plast Team.
■ Giant Lego brick for room storage: Also licensed, storage boxes with lids that stack, wastebaskets with yellow-headed lids included. Heads also come as storage in two sizes. From Plast Team.
■ Lego Life of George: For use with iPhone and iPod Touch. A new, 122-piece building game in a box featuring a little dude named George that's interactive with the two devices. Marked for ages 14 and up due to social media tie-ins, the game would be good for kids as young as 8.
■ "The Lego Ideas Book": Tips from master builders on taking what a child already has and making something new. Divided into six themes, including transportation, buildings, space and kingdoms. By Daniel Lipkowitz. From DK Children.
Earthy kids
■ Futbol: The One World Futbol Project sells a durable, no-stitch blue ball designed like a traditional soccer ball but for all terrains, and has a "give one, get one" offer to donate a second ball to partner organizations around the world. Online only at Oneworldfutbol.com.
■ Tegu: Magnetic blocks made from sustainable hardwood harvested in Honduras. Buyers can send a child in Honduras to school for a day or plant a tree there to replenish rainforest with every purchase. Good for a range of ages. Made in Honduras.
■ Eco-kids: Art supplies with nontoxic, natural ingredients. Handmade molding doughs, finger paints, crayons and paste. Kids will love the packaging — a set of doughs comes in a cardboard tower and the crayons in rocklike shapes in little tins.
■ Actual Earth: Put together a planter kit of your own with seeds, soil, pots and any of a variety of small-handled tools on the market.
Go-go kids
BIT Bikes: Curved wood bodies and two wide wheels in neon pink, blue, orange and green with seats to match for new walkers or toddlers who love to roll. Handlebars built into front of the unusual design. From Glodos.
"Meet the Cars": Colorful but not too wordy hardcover encyclopedia featuring 200 characters from the Disney Pixar movies "Cars" and "Cars 2." With a poster. From Disney Book Group.
Tip Trucks: Minimalist but high design trucks with hinged beds. Small enough for little hands. Rubber wheels and a face-like front. From Kid O Products.
Red Bullet Balance Bike: Looks like a regular bike, only there are no pedals or training wheels. Children learn how to ride a two-wheeler through balance. Seat adjusts to keep feet low to the ground. By Chicco.

Two days after a new round of Katie-Couric-is-leaving-CBS stories hit the internet, now comes word that another high-profile newswoman may be abdicating her post. According to a report in TV Guide, Meredith Vieira will step down as the co-anchor of NBC's Today when her contract expires in September.
Supposedly, the early morning hours – combined with the health of her husband, who has fought cancer and multiple sclerosis – are behind her decision to leave. Apparently, NBC won't let her go without a fight. "NBC is doing everything they can to convince her to stay," an insider told the publication. And here's the official company line: "The Today show anchors are currently under contract and firmly in place."
Vieira, 57, left ABC's The View to replace Couric on Today in 2006. Couric, meanwhile, is expected to vacate her post with the CBS Evening News to pursue a daytime talk show. Her contract is up in June.

Research Interests
Long-range interprotein electron transfer; ENDOR of metalloenzymes
We have discovered that long-range electron transfer between proteins can be studied by substituting zinc protoporphyrin for heme in one of the partners of a protein-electron transfer complex. Electron transfer is initiated by flash photoproduction of the zinc protoporphyrin triplet state, which reduces its ferriheme partner by a long-range tunneling process. Mixed-metal (Zn, Fe) hybrid hemoglobins exhibit electron transfer between redox centers that are in a crystallographically known protein environment and are separated by protein residues at a metal-metal distance of 25.
We are applying this approach to physiological electron transfer reactions, such as between yeast cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and cytochrome c (cyt c). However, this complex is not conformationally rigid. The use of different cyt c species and of site-directed mutagenesis to vary individual residues of cyt c gives a precise means of investigating both the role of the protein matrix in electron transfer and the influence of conformational dynamics at the protein-protein interface.
Electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) is a technique that combines NMR and EPR. Studies of native and isotopically enriched metalloenzymes hold the promise of individually characterizing every atom of the catalytically active metal center. The systems we are studying include peroxidases, copper proteins containing the blue-copper center, and proteins that contain multimetal centers such as aconitase, cytochrome oxidase, and hydrogenase. Our work includes the development of multifrequency CW and pulsed (nsec) ENDOR spectrometers.

Police: Caregiver did not check on group home resident
Roderick Grove arrested for neglect
A caregiver in the Upstate is facing charges after police said his neglect of a young man resulted in his death.
Mauldin police said they responded to Ashmore Bridge Road Monday evening because a pedestrian was wandering in the roadway. Investigators said when they arrived, 25-year-old Jamie Rosemond had been hit by multiple cars and died at the scene.
According to detectives, Rosemond had been living less than two miles away at a group home under the South Carolina Mentor program on Flanders Court.
Police said his caregiver, Roderick Grove, falsely documented he checked on Rosemond.
"Our investigation revealed that the caregiver didn't properly do what he was supposed to do by checking on the individual every 15 minutes," Detective Ben Ford said.
Police said Rosemond left the house through a window.
It's unclear why he left, but detectives said Rosemond was being treated for mental health issues.
Grove is out on bond.
We contacted the South Carolina Mentor program and are waiting for their response.

Goto ESPN and vote for Derrick Williams' Game Changing Play!
It didn't follow the script. There were no Hollywood stars. It was not directed by Alfred Hitchcock. But it was a thriller nonetheless, with enough plot twists and sub plots to keep even the passing fan gripping the edge of his seat. Or maybe some sharp objects. But preferably gripping a seat.
Normally I would be upset with an ugly win like this. Normally I would focus on the myriad of mistakes. But I am not normal. I may also have had a little too much to drink. Either way, I am happy to add win #4 to this season.
Yet--when the chips were down, and the seconds were melting off the clock--Robinson took his team and led them to the Promised Land, with the help of freshman sensation, Derrick Williams, and the least likely of saviors, Isaac Smolko. I didn't think Robinson had it in him. Let me eat crow--it tastes like chicken anyway.
Compare and contrast him to a well-known--perhaps infamous--quarterback for a team in Ann Arbor. Said QB, after having a brilliant first season, has now managed to fumble at the goal line against Notre Dame, and tackle himself for a loss to end the game against Wisconsin. In the microcosm of this early season, Robinson has demonstrated that he is capable of losing any game. But he has also shown that he is capable of winning any game.

Now I know from my own direct experience that this is not true. God exists and His messengers, the angels, exist as well. For me, nothing was ever going to be the same as before. I had found out that one must not fear death and in fact, there is no death, but a mere transformation, a passing from one state of existence to another."

The importance of the process of becoming aware in practicing YOGA and in every day life (4)
"Watch these trees with great attention. Even they are meditating. Meditation, above all, is plenary silence, experienced at the ultimate essence of our being. If you are truly aware that you do not know anything, then you will find yourselves in a profound state of meditation. Such a complete sincerity represents the grounds favorable to the silence which reveals God. Silence experienced deeply is meditation."

The erogenous map of the man
During lovemaking, the woman must grab strongly yet sensually her lover by the buttocks with both her hands, thus "expertly" directing the exploration of her aroused yoni by his erect lingam. She will move her pelvis sensually, especially when her lover is on top, and she grabs his behind with her hands.

Ten delicious vegetarian recipes
For keeping ourselves healthy, strong and pure, we need to have a varied, natural, simple and healthy diet. The food we eat remains within our bodies, more or less transformed, in each of our cells, having an impact not only on our vitality and state of health but also on our way of thinking and on our spiritual experiences.

The importance of awareness in YOGA practice and daily life (3)
To easily attain a state of contemplation, you should seek to detach yourselves from the spontaneous thoughts, at least once a day; just let them wander freely, just as clouds are passing by in the sky. When we focus into such a state of contemplation, you should try to be the life, and not just think of life.

Wise thoughts from Yoga Swami
[Yoga Tradition]
"The state of supreme transcendence in which while becoming NOTHING we are in fact NOTHINGNESS means we can say, in our hearts, in all honesty, that we do not know ANYTHING. This also involves the act of not wanting anything for ourselves. This also means that we are not interested in doing anything that would take us out of this creative BLISSFUL VOID."

The gold of an ancient Indian God
[Universal Spirituality]
Ancient Indian temples are enveloped in myth and mystery, and some of them hide unimaginable treasures. The astonishment was tremendous, the ruckus caused by the media and the speculations that followed the opening of the underground rooms of the Sri Padmanabhaswami temple were blatantly contrasting the serenity which enveloped this great edifice.

MISA celebrates 25 years of successful activity
[News & Events]
Yogis spiritual movement includes tens of thousands of people who are learning yoga, following yoga classes and practicing yoga, without organize them in any way or include them in an institutional associative framework. The two defining elements of this large spiritual group are both unity and heterogeneity.

Those beings who have awakened their sublime inner fire and who have that fire present in them.

The revolting forgeries and manipulations behind the unjust conviction of Gregorian Bivolaru (1)
[News & Events]
It is important to notice that, even if the press seems to be interested in any detail regarding MISA, any opinion that is contradicting the conclusion which is against the yogis, no matter how important, no matter whose opinion it is, that opinion is completely ignored. Thus we can see that the decision of granting political asylum to Gregorian Bivolaru by the Supreme Court in Stockholm was never brought to the attention of the public opinion in Romania.

The unveiled mysteries of the human erogenous areas
Extremely pleasant sensitive messages which are transmitted and received are using an old reflexive system, but a very effective one. This system uses muscles as mediators and it causes the energy flow to go directly into the brain. In addition, it has been noted that this system works both ways: thus, intense amorous desire can be activated both from the brain downwards and the other way around.

Avoiding incoherent nibbling on the spiritual path (IV)
Sometimes on the spiritual path a great hunger for knowledge is awakened. When we are enthusiastic in learning new aspects it is good to back up this overwhelming curiosity by proper seriousness.

The pineal gland – a gateway to heavenly worlds that we can open
When the pineal gland functions harmoniously it gives this state of wellness, of inner balance, the tendency to spirituality and a YANG attitude in life.

High states of Consciousness and exceptional experiences through the practice of Yoga

Avoiding incoherent nibbling on the spiritual path (III)
Nibbling can be avoided by taking one peak experience and aiming to evoke it as often as possible, meditating upon it, aiming to integrate it into our everyday life. In this way we can cultivate the experience by going deeper and deeper into it and some day we might be able to fully access the peak at will. With this kind of practice all the so-called everyday and normal actions become meaningful in a very joyful way.

TRADITIONALLY, they call the last pick in the NFL draft, Mr. Irrelevant.
If a certain young woman is to be believed, this year's final selection might become known as "Mr. Lucky."
A flirty — some might say flighty — frizzy-haired woman who claims to be from New York has posted a video on the Internet promising that the last player selected in this year's draft will get "a night, alone with me."
"My name is Brianne, I live in New York City," the woman says. "And I'm super-excited for the NFL draft, but I'm really not interested in who is going No. 1 or No. 2 or No. 3 or No. 4, anyone really in the first round for that matter. Or the second round, third, fourth, fifth. What I'm interested in and what I've got my sights set on is Day 3, Round 7, Pick 253 — the last pick of the draft. Mr. Irrelevant.

The single mother who won a suit against the Polish government's ban on abortion has gained her second success: a Catholic newspaper will have to pay her for equating her attempts to have her pregnancy terminated with murder and the Nazi regime.
Alicja Tysiac was already a mother of two in 2000 when she became pregnant again. Eye doctors advised against carrying the pregnancy to term because she was likely to lose her vision, but doctors refused the terminate the pregnancy.
Abortion is illegal in Poland unless the health of the mother or unborn child is at risk. Which is why Tysiac won her first suit, brought to the European Court of Human Rights. They said she should have been granted the abortion of therapeutic grounds. Instead, she gave birth and later suffered the feared retinal hemmorhage which has severely diminished her sight and may still cause her to go blind.
When news came out about her suit, Tysiac quickly became a target in her homeland. A Roman Catholic magazine, in particular, published an attack on her, calling her a killer and equating her wish for an abortion with Nazi crimes.
That, a judge said this week, was too far. They have the right to make clear their moral disapproval of abortion, but not vilify an individual, the judge said.
Tysiac is a single mother who now has virtually no vision. Say what you want about the rights of a fetus, but now there are three kids with a mom with diminished capacity to care for her kids. It's hard to fault a mother for trying to take care of her kids.

The QMS covers services to members in Medicaid managed care, the Children's Health Insurance Program, and Medicaid Long Term Care and community-based services. The QMS is the framework through which the State shares its objectives and strategies to address health care costs, quality and timely access in a collaborative approach with its partners and stakeholders. DMMA has reorganized the QMS for 2014. While the 2012 QMS strategies remain the same, the format has been changed slightly in some parts of the document to create an easier flow of information for interested users.

The Division of Medicaid and Medical Assistance (DMMA) in partnership with the Division of Services for Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities (DSAAPD) is developing an Integrated Long-Term Care initiative named the Diamond State Health Plan – Plus (DSHP-Plus). This initiative will provide improved access to community-based long-term care services and increased flexibility to more effectively address individual needs, and to better control rising long-term care costs significantly impacting Medicaid. Delaware joins many states who are implementing new models of delivering long-term care services.

Audioholics Review of the Verus Grand Bookshelf SpeakerPosted on 6/28/2012 Pros:
Pristine fidelity
Furniture grade finish
Excellent craftsmanship
Limited bass output
Raises the bar too high for the competition
"The Aperion Verus speakers were able to literally disappear leaving you with nothing but the music to get carried away in. These speakers performance per dollar ratio is so good that I fear Aperion has raised the bar too high for its competition. These aren't just speakers, they are pieces of furniture that sound good. Considering their very liberal return policy, FREE 30 day home trial program and FREE shipping (both ways) I can't say anything else other than 'highly recommended!'"

Audioholics 2010 Product of the Year Award Bestowed upon Aperion Verus Grand SpeakersPosted on 6/28/2012 "Although 2010 was kind of a grim year economically for most of us, the A/V world belted out high value products improving on last year predecessors at little to no cost added? Loudspeaker companies have also raised the bar by creating a more audiophile focus on their products. Aperion Audio's new Verus line is a shining example of this."
"We've been hoping, and suggesting that Aperion Audio unveil a speaker line with higher audiophile aspirations. We knew they could do it, especially considering their existing lineup consists of quality crafted high performance products. Their new Verus line takes it to the next level however. Their specially designed tweeter is designed to play down much lower than most conventional dome designs with exceptional power handling. This allows the system to be crossed over at a lower frequency which improves off axis response by reducing beaming effects of the larger mid drivers as wavelengths become shorter than the cone diameter. We currently have their entire new Verus 5.0 system in for review and are finding it to sound exceptionally good with ample output capability, stunningly great imaging and lack of compression when really cranking it up loud. This is truly a great speaker line regardless of price, typically only found at brick and mortar stores but at internet direct pricing. Fit and finish are excellent and they just scream high end."

Audioholics' Aperion Verus Grand Tower Speaker System ReviewPosted on 6/28/2012 Performance Rating: 4.5 out of 5
Value Rating: 5 out of 5
"At just over $3k for a 5.0 system and an extra grand for a the Bravus II 12D sub, the Aperion Audio Verus Grand speakers are not an impulse buy. But they're not meant to be. Aperion has attempted to put together the very best speakers they can for the least amount of money. I have to say, unequivocally, they've succeeded. The Verus Grand Towers image as good if not better than any speaker I've ever experienced (sans electrostats). The Verus Grand Center is a joy to experience and makes a huge difference with listening to multichannel content. Our in-room and manufacturers measurements of the speakers are remarkably similar showing that not only has Aperion created a speaker that can measure well in a lab, but can do so in a real world environment. With Aperion's free shipping and 30 day in home audition with free return shipping if you don't like them, well, you've really got nothing to lose. Except for $3k because there is no way you're sending these back."
"The Aperion Audio Verus Grand Loudspeaker System has redefined, for me, value in high end, which is why they earned the Audioholics coveted 2010 Product of the Year Award. These are the speakers to beat and will likely send many of their competitors back to the drawing boards, or in their cases, their engineering sound labs. Highly Recommended!"

Soundstage.com gives the Verus Grand Bookshelf their Reviewer's Choice Award!Posted on 5/25/2012 The Verus Grand Bookshelf is a component of the Verus Grand Bookshelf HD.
"As the first bookshelf model I've reviewed in I don't know how long, Aperion Audio's Verus Grand Bookshelf reminded me that great things can still come in small packages. The Bookshelf isn't just a fine-sounding speaker, it's a refined-sounding speaker that doesn't offer only a glimpse of high-end performance -- it'll take you on a full tour and give you a T-shirt at the end. With a beguiling tweeter and a clean, overachieving midrange-woofer, the Verus Grand Bookshelf proves that its name is no oxymoron. It's a speaker well worth an audition and its asking price. And it looks fabulous."
