You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The process allowed me to find a style that I wanted and then make a lot of changes. I changed the background color and even the flower colors and font color too."
"I absolutely love the floral watercolor invitations! After ordering the sample, I decided on the raspberry invites to match my raspberry and coral/orange themed wedding. I also ordered the postcard save the dates and the gift labels to go along with the theme. My next purchase will be the floral watercolor programs. Wedding Paper Divas was able to center the information correctly and the shipping was fast!"
"My fiance and I used these invitations for our upcoming wedding in August have received numerous compliments on how beautiful our invitations are! These invitations looked even better in person.The paper was of excellent quality and I absolutely loved how the final product turned out."
"I loved our invitations! I've had amazing feedback that my guests love them as well. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Great costumer service."
"Was very simple and easy to personalize, and the designer was very patient with me and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. And so far everyone has absolutely loved them!"

Circus Crafts and Activities
Circus Crafts are such fun for kids. Teach the kids about the Earth and introduce some recycling and environmentalism while remaining age-appropriate.
Have a Circus Party
The kids in your preschool class have been really good and you want to do something special to show them how much you appreciate it. Why not have a circus party? It's pretty easy to accomplish and the kids will have a blast.
A circus party can be a lot of fun for all involved. It's a great way to give back to your preschoolers and let them know you are proud of them. Tell them thank you and enjoy them as they become wide eyed and excited over their wonderful circus party.
Circus Animals
If you have stuffed animals or know someone who does, bring those into the class to help with the decorations. Better yet, ask each child to bring one from home. Set them up all around the room. Use the chairs in the room to make a circus train. Place the stuffed animals on the chairs to fill the train.
Use boxes to make cages for the animals. Place the stuffed animals inside so the children will have an idea of how they manage the animals in a circus. Through in a little straw to give it the real sense of a circus animal cage.
Circus Snacks
Animal crackers are still a big hit with children. Purchase a large bag of animal crackers and give some to each child. Cracker Jacks are also a great circus snack. What circus would be complete without popcorn and peanuts? Fix some microwave popcorn and serve it, along with peanuts to the children in brown paper lunch bags that you have colored with red and white stripes. This will definitely make it an authentic circus snack.
Circus Clown
Most important of all don't forget the clown. Dress yourself up as a clown or if you just can't see yourself as a clown see if you can find a parent who would be willing to do this for your class. Be sure they have balloons and make them into those great balloon animals to hand out to the kids if you know how.

Water service will be interrupted Tuesday, September 17, off Highway 98 in Midway, West of Bergren Road, while Midway Water System replaces a water main that must be moved due to construction. Residents in the Waterford Sound subdivision will be without service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The interruption will also affect Meredith Lumber and Liberty Church.
Because of the expected drop in pressure, water samples will be taken once service has been restored to ensure there has been no bacterial contamination. As a precaution, the businesses and residents in the affected area are advised to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes, until further notice. A rolling boil of one minute is sufficient. As an alternative, bottled water may be used. Tap water can also be disinfected by adding 8 drops of unscented household bleach to each gallon of water, then mixing the water and allowing it to stand for a minimum of 30 minutes.
The precautionary boil water notice will remain in effect until results of bacteriological samples show that the water is safe to drink.

Sep 3, 2012This game has been the most fun I have had in any game period, thats all its about is fun not about lame elitist and gear grind garbage its all about pure fun if you dont like it simply stay away.
Sep 3, 2012
Sep 3, 2012This is the MMO that we all have been waiting for all this years, the best word we can use to describe this game is fun, thats it, its simple as that, the game is FUN in every way possible, the gameplay is awesome, you can move freely in the battlefield, there is plenty of content to do and there is a little of everything to everyone, give it a shot and you will definetely not stop playing it!
Sep 4, 2012Guild Wars 2 is literally the best MMO I have played since World of Warcraft VANILLA. From the graphics to the combat, to the amazing questing system; this game delivers on all fronts. Anyone that rates this game negative is a real life loser or a fanboy hater.

Sep 12, 2012I'm in Love with this game, specially using my eyefinity setup also its pay to play n such amazing graphics at every zone,what else can i ask for ? :]
Sep 12, 2012Overall a great game! I made a YouTube video on it's gameplay and what's so great about it. Make sure to check it out.

Sep 12, 2012
Sep 12, 2012This is the first game ever, in which I genuinely have had a great, fun time playing. I am not forced to grind or to do anything that makes the game feel like a chore. Playing with friends who've just got the game is not a burden (content scales!) and best of all, there's no subscription fee.
Sep 12, 2012
Sep 13, 2012Fantastic game, closest mmo to "perfect" I've seen since wow, Plus, with no sub fee, you don't feel pressured to play to get your moneys-worth out of it, staggeringly good PvE exploration and WvW is fantastic.
Sep 13, 2012This is a great MMO and it is getting better. Forget WoW. This is it! I love the fact that the holy trinity of tank/healer/dps does not exist nor is it necessary. The game is not about gear or grinding. All those other annoying things in other MMOs have been gracefully dealt with in GW2.
Sep 13, 2012Seriously the most innovative MMO.
Any low reviews are people with out-dated computers, WoW fanboys or outright Blizzard employees.
There is NOTHING bad about this game. -
Sep 13, 2012I'm very happy with GW2, I have enjoyed every second I have played the game and look forward to being able to spend more time with it. There is so much depth, but it's easy for me to pick up and play and learn new things. If you are on the fence I'd say now is a great time to start playing. :)

Nov 21, 2012edit 70 hours of gameplay one warrior lvl 48 and map completed to 25%; after the first two weeks of intense play I found myself playing GW2 really casual and even if i stop tomorrow, the price of the game is money well spent. Advice do not expect to find a WoW clone because the two games are very different in everything from PvE to PvP.
Oct 28, 2012
Sep 28, 2012The amount of stories that are available is amazing. The game has so much replay value. I am definitely getting my $60 out of the game. The game is huge and i feel like i will never finish it. I have had the game for 2-3 weeks and i am level 37 and have no intention on quitting now. (having friends with you is a great way to enjoy the game more.)
Sep 29, 2012
Oct 13, 2012Loot drops like Diablo
RvR better than DAoC
PvP better than WoW
Public Quests better than WAR
Crafting and Gathering that means something
Personal Story like SWToR
Exploration better than any MMO
Bosses are awesome
Dungeons are OK, not great
Some map completion bugs STILL
ArenaNet over-nerfs stuff habitually

Nov 11, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Nov 27, 2012Guild Wars 2 progresses the MMO genre. There's no grind, there's collaboration galore, a wealth of PvP, and quite possibly the most scenic game I've ever laid eyes on. I'm constantly bewildered by its beauty, and fun. Buy this game. Get in a big guild. Play WvW, play sPvP, get in dungeons, play live events...etc, etc, etc,etc,etcet,cet,
Sep 2, 2012So nice with a game that finally dared to mix things up a little. Or not "a little", but a lot actually. Doing so many bold moves, people aren't familiar with and it works. Also a massive community feedback on every little error or bug there is. Never seen anything like it, and definitely also counts in on the score, when it's this significant.

Oct 17, 2012I normally hate MMOs and their formulas but a friend suggested GW2 and I can't stop playing it. Truly a game changer in the MMO market. A very smart take on the questing systems of old that keep you busy and never feels like a chore or a grind to play.Not only that but it looks incredible too. Fantastic game.

Sep 5, 2012Not the revolutionary genre changing game many of GW2's more zealous fans tried to tout pre-release, but a very solid, very good MMO with plenty to do and best of all no subscription fee.
Sep 9, 2012This game is NEXT LEVEL. Absolutely fantastic graphics, gameplay, everything....You can tell the devs really paid attention to detail, it's the little things like auction from your backpack, instant mail, the robust travel system, the list goes on and on and on. This is an MMO milestone!!! If you like MMO's you will love this game!

Sep 20, 2012This is the best MMORPG I have ever played so far. It doesn't suck your money like a hungry vacuum. Leveling is at ease. Full voice acting in main story. Exploring is also fun and actually rewarding. Very soothing music. Please, try the game, it doesn't even need monthly subscription to play.
Sep 3, 2012best mmo in recent years and i dont i have to explain why
all i can say its im playing mmo's since wow vanilla and gw2 simply crush it with eaze and style..i wont bother to mention other mmos since 90% of them are all wow clones.
Proudly gw2 isnt and thats what make it the best mmo since wow:LK exp -
Jan 18, 2013While ArenaNet has definitely succeeded in making Guild Wars 2 different to anything else out there, it has taken away some of the endearing qualities of the original Guild Wars such as a greater variety of skills and placing a greater focus on storyline missions. For newcomers, the game will keep you entertained for awhile but long-term enjoyment boils down to PvP, WvW and popular dungeons.
Sep 13, 2012Loving this game so far. You'll see Guild Wars 2 clones in the coming years. WARNING: You need a really good computer to run this. The minimum system specs aren't going to cut it. This game is more demanding on your comp than anything I've ever seen.

See you all in game. -
Sep 10, 2012
Sep 21, 2012great game, great graphics, not too happy that sPvP is seperate from the main game, I guess there is WvW for that. on that note, WvW brings back the good old memories of RvR from DAOC.

Sep 2, 2012This is the first next generation mmorpg un post wow era. Maybe you dont like the game per se, but in an honest view this game is by far a tecnical superior that all morpg games in actual market (yes, including WoW).
A really MUST buy. -
Sep 9, 2012Great game. Graphics are amazing. The events are a nice replacement to one-time quests. Waypoints make travel easy. Combat is very fluid, and with limited hotkeys very easy to learn.

Jan 31, 2013Absoluty,insanely bad, boring, repetitive, pointless game. Glad I could sell my account to another poor soul. Bleh. Arenanet is a horrible company and the whole game concept is full of fail. The cutscenes are as ugly and boring as the game.
Aug 31, 2012why some many 10 ?i got screwed buying that game for the wrong review.....i stoped playing wow 2 years ago and wow is still way better than gw2......the pve questing is soo boring ,i tried wvw my server is dominating like 80%.... the only thing i did in wvw is exploring ,isn't supose to be pvp ?

Sep 5, 2012Disney on steroids or PCP great graphics ,crafting looks well done but some what tedious.Characters are great stories weak least thief was .I found it little better than WOW or most the other fantasy MMOs out there.

Sep 10, 2012I always wanted to get distracted in an MMO. To get lost in its world. In Guild Wars 2, I am so lost and always distracted by everyday surprises. It has everything I ever wanted in a modern MMO.
Sep 10, 2012One of the best game ever developed.
The secret Jumping Puzzles are just amazing, a new feature in mmorpgs that should be added everywhere.
I've been waiting this game since 2007 and i'm very satisfied. -

Sep 10, 2012The game has very little variety. There's nothing about the PvE system that is different than any other MMO, except maybe GW2's system is rather bland. I have yet to try PvP, but from what I am hearing from others who have, it's just as boring as PvE. Anyone who gives this game a 10 or even a 9 hasn't played the game enough to discover the monotony in store for them.

Sep 20, 2012I am thoroughly enjoying GW2. I can jump in and play for an hour or so, or I can play for 6, it's all easy and fun. I never feel the grind, and the world is stunning. Overall, it's just a really good game.

Sep 26, 2012GW2 is loose MMO RPG and it is likely that you will get tired of it at some point.
GW2 fails to deliver a good story - in both content and form
No flight paths. Just teleporting.what a disappointment. -
Oct 3, 2012Fantastic game. If you sick and tired of boring copied wow clones then this game is for you. Excellent graphics, gameplay and best of all its B2P. This game is definitely gonna give **** Mop a run for its money.

Feb 6, 2013GW2 has made a powerful impact on the MMO scene, confirming years of expectations. Stunning presentation and revolutionary design guarantee a thoroughly enjoyable experience. However, it's not flawless, nor complete. The beautiful vistas, the massive PvP element, the rich leveling experience- those can offer hours of gameplay, but the endgame is desperately seeking for enrichment. [November 2012]
Jan 2, 2013Guild Wars 2 surpasses the original in every aspect, from its massive and atmospheric world to its addictive and engrossing gameplay.
Nov 28, 2012After spending fifty hours with GW2, I have a lot of praise for ArenaNet's work and the way it changes up some of the typical trappings of the MMO. And yet, I find myself thinking less and less about it each day. It's not a declaration against the product, mind you, but simply a fact that this game still is very much an MMO, and your enjoyment will directly relate to how much you enjoy the genre. For many who were hoping for a clean break from MMO design philosophy, Guild Wars 2 will probably come across as a slight disappointment. It pushes the genre slightly forward, however, and could lead to even further development in the future.

The Genius of Matthew Polk Redefines
State-of-the-Art Audio
This 3rd Generation of SDA Loudspeakers incorporated many of the advances in SDA technology pioneered in the Signature Edition SRS and SRS2, including a full complement Sub-Bass Drive, Time Compensated Phase Coherent Driver Alignment and Bandwidth-optimized Dimensional Signal technology.
What Makes a Legend Most: The Paradigm Shift of SDA Technology
You're familiar with "stereo," the basic two-channel left-and-right channel separation of audio information. What you probably don't know is that reproducing "stereo" from a pair of loudspeakers is less accurate than it seems. In fact, it can be downright inaccurate. This is the problem that Matthew Polk and the engineers at Polk Audio set out to remedy in the mid-80s, just as the audio industry was transitioning from "boutique" brands, popular with a handful of hobbyists, to more mainstream popularity. It was a time of great innovation, and Polk Audio, already an established innovator, was on the forefront.
The problem with "stereo" was that it didn't really work. You sat in front of a pair of speakers, and your left ear heard stuff and your right ear heard stuff, and both ears heard information from both channels, left-and-right; each ear hearing information from both channels. It's called "interaural crosstalk." Interaural crosstalk occurs when left-channel (left speaker) information is heard by the right ear, and right-channel (right speaker) information is heard by the left ear. You can't avoid it, that's just the nature of sound. But it results in a completely unrealistic and inaccurate reproduction of sound, reducing the soundstage to a narrow "sweet spot," with muddy "stereo separation," and unrealistic "imaging."
To more accurately reproduce sound as it was originally created live, with lifelike imaging and separation, Matthew Polk realized the vital importance of maintaining the integrity of the channel separation. To do it, he had to defeat interaural crosstalk. So Polk Audio engineers designed a complex passive-circuitry crossover network for a new set of multi-driver loudspeakers. It would use patented algorithms and innovative sound-phasing to effortlessly cancel interaural crosstalk between the stereo pair. They called it Stereo Dimensional Array Technology, and it produced "True Stereo," a completely new kind of sound, where the left channel information is delivered to your left ear, while the right channel information is delivered to your right ear, and never the twain shall meet. Each ear hears what it is meant to hear, with full stereo separation, as if the performance you are listening to is live.
SDA Technology changed the sound of home audio loudspeakers. It delivered a dramatic, dynamic, broad, accurate, lifelike soundstage with pinpoint imaging and realistic reproduction. And Polk Audio's flagship SRS Series loudspeakers were built to deliver it at the most extreme, lifelike volume levels. Home audio would never be the same.
Today's Polk Audio Benefits from Yesterday's Innovations
That was then, this is now. We've never stopped innovating. The changing nature of entertainment media (vinyl to CD to digital download) demands changes in reproduction technology. So we've miniaturized, digitized, redesigned, reformulated and re-engineered many of our original, patented groundbreaking technologies to better serve your entertainment needs and desires today. Many of our loudspeaker models still use variations on the original SDA Technology, along with other classic patented audio innovations like Dynamic Balance material tuning and innovative driver array designs, so you can still experience the classic warm, realistic, lifelike Polk Audio sound. Hear the difference a history of audio innovation makes. You'll understand why we're still "The Speaker Specialists."

"They truly represent a breakthrough." - Rolling Stone Magazine
"Breathtaking... a new world of hi-fi listening." - Stereo Buyer's Guide
"True Stereo" with SDA Technology
One of the original breakthrought technologies patented by Polk Audio, SDA Technology allows a pair of loudspeakers to deliver an overwhelmingly wide, realistic soundstage with no interaural crosstalk, revealing the full impact of true stereo separation with pinpoint imaging accuracy. You will find this incredible, paradigm-changing technology in today's Polk Audio products, too.
Line Source Array Technology
The Line Source Array minimizes the damaging effects of unwanted sound reflections by controlling the vertical dispersion midrange frequencies. It's an exclusive Polk Audio engineering design, and eliminates blurred imaging and tonal coloration caused by floor and ceiling reflections of these important midrange frequencies. Line Source Array Technology "opens" the soundstage, reduces the effects of undesired room interactions, and achieves a more realistically-placed audio image, with a wider range of optimum listening positions in any room.
Progressive Point Source Technology
As performance frequencies increase during sound reproduction, the SRS Tweeter array actually adjusts its radiation area, becoming an ideal point source at the very highest of frequencies, eliminating high frequency interactions and reflections between the multiple drivers. Progressive Point Source Technology maintains a Constant Vertical Directivity of the mid and high frequencies, which prevents undesirable "beaming," and delivers astonishingly realistic "you are there" imaging.
Internally Braced Enclosures
The enclosure is an integral part of the design of the SRS Speaker Series. At a time when speakers were becoming more and more popular, many companies opted for the economy of cheap, flimsy materials. Polk Audio knew that the build-quality of the enclosure is just as important to the sound quality of the speaker as the material used to construct the driver cones. SRS Series speakers were constructed of heavy-duty MDF, and internally braced for additional stability and efficiency even at lifelike volume levels. Check the specs: these speakers weighed as much as a 6-year-old child. Reinforced baffles and a unique Low Diffraction Grille design virtually eliminated performance-robbing resonances, for less coloration, more efficient operation, and the most realistic sound reproduction possible. Today, Polk Audio loudspeakers continue this tradition of heavy-duty enclosure construction, producing the same excellent and efficient sound.
Dynamic Balance Material Design Technology
Dynamic Balance is Polk Audio's patented micro-analysis of a speaker's entire electro-acoustic and mechanical system. It was developed to help us select better materials and more efficient geometry when building the SRS Series to meet our extraordinary performance standards. Dynamic Balance analysis allowed us to pinpoint and eliminate performance-robbing resonances right on the actual driver material, long before they might become a part of the finished product. We were able to tune out offending sounds before you hear them! The performance of the Trilaminate Polymer driver material used in the SRS Series far outstripped the more traditional vacuum-formed plastic cones of the time. Using the Dynamic Balance process, the Trilaminate Polymer material was tuned to produce flat, uncolored frequency response. This true transparency revealed a wider dynamic range, with sharper details, and no hint of strain. Every driver and tweeter Polk Audio designs and manufactures today is tuned with the exclusive Dynamic Balance process.
Trilaminate Polymer Mid-Bass Drivers
For the kind of realism and deep bass response that you can actually feel, each SRS model features an array of Polk's exclusive Trilaminate Polymer Midbass Drivers. Designed and engineered in a proprietary process using three complementary materials, SRS Drivers deliver performance far beyond the reaches of conventional speaker drivers. The first laminate material was chosen for its structural strength combined with its light weight. The second laminate is extremely stiff with an unusually high speed of sonic wave transmission. The third laminate boasts a uniquely effective damping property that removes sonic coloration. Combined, these materials contribute to a driver that's light and fast, with low distortion and superior transient response and detail, even at truly astounding volume levels. Supported by a rigid motor structure, with high temperature aluminum voice coils to assure reliability even with extended playing at maximum output, and durable Butyl Rubber Surrounds allowing for more accurate cone movement, many of these drivers have survived since the SRS Series was first introduced and still play perfectly. This kind of material perfection can be found in every current Polk Audio model as well.
Critically Tuned Planar Bass Radiators
The SRS Series Mid-Bass Drivers are acoustically coupled to the speaker's Critically Tuned Planar Bass Radiator. A pair of SRS speakers with 15" Bass Radiators has a low frequency driver system of over 178 square inches. This is deep bass that is both emotional and physical, and has been described as thunderous. And yet this is a system designed from the start to be clean and tight, with virtually no distortion. The SRS Series has been found to yield less distortion at 25Hz than many audiophile quality tube amplifiers. SRS Series speakers included "Bass Brace" hardware to anchor your speakers to your floor, for the ultimate in efficient, exhilarating deep bass reproduction. We have gone on to use this extraordinary Bass Radiator technology in the development of our current line of loudspeakers and Powered Subwoofers, proving our company-wide dedication to the deepest, most thrilling, realistically musical bass response possible.
SL 2000 Silver Coil Dome Tweeter
Polk Audio engineers worked with the Johns Hopkins University Center for Non-Destructive Testing, utilized Laser Interferometry Technology, to test a vast number of tweeter designs and materials in their search for high frequency perfection. (Dynamic Balance Tuning Technology was a direct outgrowth of this fundamental audio research.) They developed a revolutionary dome design that would produce near-perfect motion without the sonic degradation of standing waves. Cooled by Ultra Low Viscosity (ULV) Magnetic Fluid, the SL2000 delivers astounding details and pinpoint imaging, without no fatigue, even at constantly tremendous volume levels. The accurate performance of every dome tweeter Polk Audio has designed and engineered since the SRS Series has benefitted from this fundamental research.
High Efficiency Amplifier Compatibility
The SRS Series was designed and engineered to be driven well by practically any electronics available at the time, even the most modestly-powered amplifer or receiver. They present an "easy load." We recommend that a high quality amplifier or receiver of at least 50 watts per channel be used for the best performance. (If you're using separate mono amplifiers without a common ground, Polk's AI-1 interface is available separately to ensure a proper connection.) You don't need an expensive high powered audiophile rig to enjoy the warm, clear, realism of the SRS Series.
Bi-Amp Capability
For even greater dynamic range and lower distortion, the SRS loudspeakers may be connected for Bi-Amplification using the two sets of inputs provided on each loudspeaker. No electronic crossover is necessary. When you use two different amplifiers to reproduce the high and low frequencies separately, SRS loudspeakers achieve their greatest sonic potential.
"Bass-Brace" & Floor Spike Floor-Coupling Hardware Included
To enhance the full impact and dimension of Polk's low frequency performance, SRS Series speakers may be physically coupled to your listening room wall or floor with their specially designed "Bass Brace" hardware or Spiked Feet in place.

That legendary SDA soundstage!I have come back for more again and again.
(For the SDA-1B's)The impedence dips too low for some lesser amps to drive.(for the SDA-1B's,CRS+'s and 1C's without the AI-1 interface cable)the need for a common grounded amp.
I thought about giving these a lower overall rating.Then i thought about 1)How i REFUSE to replace them with anything other than SDA's and 2)How i have owned three pairs of SDA's over the years.I owned a pair of SDA-1B's back in the late eighties.I also owned a pair of SDA-CRS+.I currently own a pair of SDA-1C's.That alone should tell you how much i love these speakers!!Try the new RD-0194 silk dome replacements for the SL-2000 polyamide tweeters.You WON'T regret it!

Untouchable sound reproduction, True stereo, best value for the price.
SDA is no longer available.
I purchased my SDA1B's in the early 90's and have yet to find any speakers that come close to the amazing sound that these provide. I cannot understand why they would discontinue the SDA line. Upgrading my system to A/V 6.1, I have kept the 1B's as my main front speakers, and added smaller Polks for the other positions to maintain the true listening experience that only Polk can provide.

1.Wide sweet spot with SDA. 2. Honest bass response down to the high 20's. 3. Smoothness top to bottom. 4. High output if your amp has enough power (tweeters fuse protected).
Yes, they're big but that's what allows the deep bass response (there's no free lunch). A few modern designs can surpass them in detail,openness and air - for a lot more $!
I have the original SDA-2 speakers which I bought in 1984. They still sound wonderful! Very few speakers today can match the bass response or the overall smoothness from top to bottom. They really like a high current/high power amp but I drove them very well with a 70 wpc Yamaha receiver. The SDA imaging is unlike anything else and really expands the sweet spot. Very musical and never fatiguing. From Abba to ZZ Top - it's all good!

Patented technology makes for the finest soundstage and separation I've heard in a floor standing speaker. Substantial power handling and lots of drivers for clarity at all volumes.
Heavy speakers with large footprint and the grills are starting to bend slightly after 20 yrs. Lack of a variety of colors or veneers upon original release.
I bought my SDA-1C speakers in 1987. In 2000 I thought it might be time to replace them with something thinner, and more economical in terms of floor space. I began a quest of listening to all sorts of new systems to replace my nearly 20 yr. old speakers. What I found was that nothing compares to these things. Other speakers that I auditioned were often missing the amazingly full sounding mid-range that the SDA series provided. In fact, the SDA-1C is covers the full range from low to high so well that I couldn't find anything that I liked better. Polk's patented crosstalk cancellation technology is no longer found anywhere, and simply can't be recreated with other speakers. My quest ended with my decision to keep these speakers as the heart of my entertainment system. I think they'll have to bury me with my SDA-1Cs because I can't bring myself to get rid of them (They'll need a pretty big coffin though)!

There was no section for sda-2b's so here goes. i have just got my 2b's out of storage, set them up, and have been listening for about a month now. originally purchased in 1990, i forgot how great they sound. i can't say enough about them here so i won't. to suffice, i will say this. if you EVER get a chance to purchase a set of sda's, get them. i replaced my ls 90's with them and sold the 90's. i promise you will not be disappointed. 'nuff said!

Unbelievable Stereo Soundstage. Sounds routinley come from way out of teh narrow space between the speakers. Precise Imaging. You can almost point to the cymbals, or guitar.
Keeping them up. Mine are 20 plus years old and have needed some repairs. I would like to get a new grills since my cat indoctrinate one of them with claws. They do require a large amp since there is a large impedance change in the frequency range.
I ahve SDA2s and have had them for over 20 years. They are without a doubt the bets stereo speakers I ahve ever owned. Great sound

Almost everything; they're very musical and are of course SDA's.
A touch on the big side (takes 2 people to carry safely and setup). Very difficult to find pre-SDA-1C's (original SDA-1's, 1A's, and 1B's).
Since there's no section for original SDA-1's, I guess this is the next closest. Fantastic speakers; you'll be impressed. I found the SRS1.2TL's are better for larger rooms, so if you live in a smaller house, you're better off with speakers that fit the space. SDA-1's fit my space quite well. They're impressive loudspeakers to say the least.

Absolutely breathtaking sound stage, detail, and Bass with a strong amp.
They like clean high end power, It doesn't have to be allot, 40wpc will suffice. But It has to be an amp that's comfortable driving low ohms. Of course you'll need some more power if you want to stretch there legs.
I have a set of 2b's that I ended up getting as part of a lot to get another set of speakers that I really wanted. Well, that was one of the luckiest buys I ever made. These things are amazing with the right amp, and have won over my heart, and earned front stage in my high end modern rig. The other speakers have been serving well in an older vintage system. Anyone who doesn't love these, hasn't heard them with the right amp.

Sorry! I speak in french because my english is no good! J'ai achet� mes SDA1 B en octobre 1989. Je les ai transport�es partout, jusqu'� Noum�a! Ceux sont des enceintes extraordinaires! le son est limpide avec une pr�sence permanente. Au debut je les utilisais avec un ensemble ampli yamaha CX 830/MX 830. C'�tait parfait! Maintenant elles me servent en enceintes principales avec mon yamaha RXV2500. Je n'ai pas besoin d'appoint subwoofer, les basses passives sont excellentes. Mer�i pour toutes les sensations qu'elles me donnent et j'esp�re encore pendant de nombreuses ann�es! Thank you Polk!

Anarchy at door, West starts to rebuild Libyan army
By Patrick Markey TRIPOLI (Reuters) - On a dusty parade ground outside Tripoli, young recruits march and bark out slogans for the new Libyan army that Western powers hope can turn the tide on militias threatening to engulf the North African country in anarchy. Their boots are new and their fatigues pressed, but Libya's army recruits will need more than drills to take on the hardened militiamen, Islamist fighters and political rivalries testing their OPEC nation's stability. Two years after NATO missiles helped rebels drive out Muammar Gaddafi, Libya is under siege from former rebel fighters who now flex their military muscle to make demands on the state, seize oilfields and squabble over post-war spoils. With Libya's army still in the making, Western powers are keen to halt chaos in the key European oil supplier and stop illicit arms spilling across North Africa.
C.Africa machete massacre ahead of UN vote
Bangui (Central African Republic) (AFP) - Vigilantes hacked 12 civilians to death north of Bangui as communal tensions rose ahead of a UN vote authorising force to stop the Central African Republic's descent into chaos. On the eve of the expected adoption by the UN Security Council of a resolution giving French and African troops the go-ahead, a military source said Wednesday that Christian militiamen had attacked Muslim herders. "Among the victims were children and a disembowelled pregnant woman," the source told AFP, adding that at least 10 other children were hospitalised in Bangui with deep gashes. We've never seen anything like this in Central Africa before."
France adopts bill to penalise prostitutes' clients
The draft anti-prostitution law was approved by the lower-house National Assembly with 268 deputies voting in favour, 138 voting against and 79 abstaining. It was sponsored by women's rights minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, who hailed Wednesday's vote as "the end of a long road strewn with pitfalls". "France has placed itself at the side of those who prostitute themselves, against those who take advantage of their vulnerability," campaign group the Mouvement du Nid said in a statement. Critics, who include some of France's most prominent celebrities, say the legislation will simply push prostitution further underground and make the women who earn their living from it more vulnerable to abuse.
French court blocks extradition of Benin poison plot suspect
A French court on Wednesday ruled against extraditing a businessman implicated in a plot to kill Benin's President Thomas Boni Yayi. Patrice Talon, a successful Beninese businessman and one-time ally of the president, was accused in October 2012 of trying to kill Boni Yayi by switching his medication for poison. Three people were arrested in Benin last year in connection with the alleged assassination plot: the president's niece, his doctor and a former minister. The case was later dismissed but the three are still in detention after Boni Yayi launched an appeal.
'Angolagate' businessman freed after Swiss detention
Arcady Gaydamak, the wealthy Franco-Israeli businessman wanted in France over alleged involvement in an Angolan arms sales scandal, has been freed after two weeks in a Swiss prison, a report said Wednesday. The 61-year-old tycoon had been arrested for not paying 400,000 euros ($542,000) to Luis Fernandez, a former French footballing international and the ex-coach of Betar Jerusalem, a club he once owned. Swiss prosecutors got involved because the money reportedly was meant to be paid via Geneva, but Fernandez allegedly never received it. "Angolagate" implicated members of the French political elite including former interior minister Charles Pasqua and ex-president Francois Mitterrand's son, Jean-Christophe Mitterrand.

how do you prevent exploiting kernel bugs (which is what the OP was asking about i think)?
The first stable OpenVZ release
Posted Dec 6, 2005 19:58 UTC (Tue) by dev (guest, #34359) [Link]
So the most dangerous category of bugs is the 3rd one, but happily almost all kernel bugs belong to 1st category.
So the answer for your question is: we fix known bugs in a timely manner and insert countermeasures against getting out of VPS boundaries.

However, for massive virtualization (think of ISPs, with hundreds of virtual machines on a system) the lower memory overhead and more flexible resource allocation of OpenVZ are probably very much worth it.
Both virtualization models have their place. I hope that we'll end up seeing both in the upstream kernel.
Posted Dec 9, 2005 14:17 UTC (Fri) by PaXTeam (subscriber, #24616) [Link]
actually, exactly the opposite is true. think about it, a set of virtual machines is the equivalent of a set of (optionally networked) physical machines. the difference is that when you compromise a machine (virtual or physical, respectively) and want to escalate your access (within the given machine or across machines), under the virtual system you get an extra potential attack vector - the VM supervisor/hypervisor/whatever itself. so the VM model is *always* less secure than the equivalent set of physical machines. and that's why kernel security (and in particular, its resistance to exploits) is even more important than on 'normal' machines.

Posted Dec 15, 2005 23:08 UTC (Thu) by PaXTeam (subscriber, #24616) [Link]
as for whether Xen or OpenVZ has better 'kernel' security, it depends on what privilege escalation you're interested in.
for cross-VM escalation ('getting root in another VM from your current VM'), Xen could be better off since there you'd have to exploit a hypervisor bug (in addition to a per-VM kernel bug) whereas in OpenVZ exploiting a kernel bug is an automatic cross-VM exploit as well (well, modulo their security measures that we have yet to hear from the developers). whether Xen's hypervisor is exploitable or not is an open question.
for in-VM escalation ('getting root in the current VM from a non-privileged account'), there's no difference between the two, exploiting a kernel bug will achieve it in both cases (modulo again the OpenVZ security measures, which can of course be applied under Xen as well, so they'd still be equal).
Posted Dec 15, 2005 23:17 UTC (Thu) by riel (subscriber, #3142) [Link]
It is possible for the hypervisor to enforce that certain memory in the virtual machine is read-only, and only that memory can be mapped at certain virtual addresses. Using this protection, you can restrict the memory that kernel exploits can mess with, protecting things like kernel text, the system call table, kernel page tables, etc...
This security can not be easily circumvented if there is a kernel bug, since it is enforced by the hypervisor.

Just a point, though: "true paranoia" is not the only reason to choose a UML/Xen model. At work, for example, we develop embedded software, and we use UML as a simulation environment. We can run three, four, or even more "virtual machines" on our desktops using UML, and hook them together with networking. Obviously we don't want to be forced to run the same kernel on our desktops that we use in our embedded system.
As another example, at home I'm forced to use a proprietary VPN solution to work from home (that's the only method they support for remote access). This solution has a binary-only kernel module and as with all such modules, they only support a limited set of kernel versions. I can use UML to run a virtual machine with the correct kernel version to connect to work, while still using the kernel I prefer natively.

Officials warn swimmers to steer clear of seals
CHATHAM, Mass. (WHDH) -- Boaters and beachgoers in Chatham are getting some advice from authorities this holiday week after great white sharks were spotted in shallow waters: Stay away from seals.
The Chatham harbormaster has warned swimmers to stay 300 feet away from seals because they attract sharks.
Given that great whites are back in the waters off the Cape this summer, some people preferred to spend this holiday on dry land. The beaches were crowded for the Fourth of July but the water was not.
"I went in to my knees 'cause I didn't want to get eaten by a shark," said Sydney Pacen.
Swimmers stayed near the shore line at Lighthouse Beach.
"Just figured we'd come out and see what all the hype is about," said Patrick Cullen.
Cape Cod's self-proclaimed shark hunters say they spotted two great whites on Tuesday. One shark was spotted near Monomoy Island -- the other was spotted off the shore of South Beach in Chatham.
The 16-foot long sharks were reportedly swimming in water just three or four feet deep.
Swimmers at Chatham beaches have been warned to stay at least 300 feet away from seals which attract the sharks.
"I wouldn't put the kids in the water out here just to be on the safe side," Cullen said.
But beaches are still open for swimming and at Lighthouse Beach; word of seals has been drawing a crowd.
"I saw black heads popping up in big groups by all the tinted water out here, the light blue," said Brendan Reedy.
Sharks were most recently spotted near the Cape on Tuesday. The first sharks that were detected this summer were back in early June.

Date: Friday 15 Jun 2012
LONDON (ShareCast) - Dual-fuel combustion technology developer Clean Air Power has alerted the market to recent management changes at its development partner, Navistar, which could have implications for the firms' collaboration agreement.
"It was announced on 7th June 2012 that Navistar has instigated a major management restructure and the directors of Clean Air Power can have no certainty as to the outcome or effect of these changes," the company statement advised.
Navistar International recently demonstrated a prototype of its 2011 International ProStar+ tractor which is powered by a dual-fuel engine developed in partnership with San Diego-based Clean Air Power.
As if the uncertainty over its relationship with Navistar were not bad enough, Clean Air Power warned that it is taking longer than expected getting original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to get on board with the idea of a product for the US market.
Following the success of the Genesis EDGE proprietary system in Europe, the directors are evaluating the development of this system for the US market, to complement the current OEM discussions and meet customer demand in the short to medium term.
"The opportunities in the US market are very large and the directors remain focussed on delivering a product to capitalise on this market demand," revealed John Pettitt, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Air Power.
On the positive side, UK supermarket colossus Sainsbury has placed an additional order for 25 units of the US firm's Genesis EDGE Dual-Fuel retrofit system, which will be see Sainsbury expand its fleet of Dual-Fuel lorries to 50, 49 of which will be commissioned this year.

hudson 1951 pacemaker convertible
Priceless....what's it worth to you ? Get the car because you like it not because of value. You would be hard pressed to find any 2 surviving ones that are exactly alike. They were not produced in great numbers when new.
Two thoughts:
1). Since you're a non Hudson guy you may not realize that the body is an early unit-body with an outer perimeter frame (that explains the "skirts" in back: the car frame actually runs outside the wheels). And, the frame (from the rear wheel wells back) will rust out badly if the car has not been stored properly. This can be quite expensive to repair. So, get down under the car and poke around with an ice pick. If the body is solid here, then a little floor pan rust out is not a big deal. But if the frame is rusted, you'll add thousands to the restoration costs, unless you're a body man yourself. However, be aware that, in recent years, the demand for Hudson convertibles has exceeded the supply so much that guys have actually been restoring cars whose bodies were literally rusted in half. So, a good solid body is worth its weight in gold -- even if the engine and drive train are missing entirely!
2). Make sure that all the "convertible" parts are there. Make sure the top is up so you can be sure all the irons are there, and the various latches and window riser mechanisms. If they're missing this severely reduces the value of the car because it means you are going to spend a lot of time and money looking for the parts. This is not a Chevy or a Ford, after all. -
I've owned a '51 Pacemaker Coupe for 40 years. About 10 years ago I decided to do a "freshen-up" job and gave myself a $10,000 budget. This car has spent the majority of it's life in a garage so there was no floorboard or frame rust. It was an original, solid car. The project took 5 years and $25,000. I admit that I did do more than I planned to, including chemically dipping the body, but that may give you an idea of the dollar amount that you're looking at. The biggest headache was obtaining parts. There is a very limited amount of Pacemaker parts available and pricy when you find them. As an example, I paid $300 for a steering wheel and when I bought the car in 1970 I paid $200 for it. Would I do it all again? Absolutely! It's the love of the car and that is, to me, priceless.

Good find, ghp711. They are wonderful looking cars. I hope you'll come to a decision you are happy with.
Question: Where are you located? It might help if one of the 'Hudson guys' came out to look it over with you, to give you some idea of what's there and what's missing.
Good luck.Geoff.
'47 Super Six -
Do what those guys suggested plus at that price it should run and drive well. If you decide you want this car and all the parts are there figure what it will take to restore. I should have pulled the engine out of my car when I first bought it so it could be detailed,stripped, cleaned and repainted, it would have been cheaper in 1997 than now. So whatever you decide to do the car so it sooner rather than later, it will never be cheaper than now.
I have a clean 51 Pacemaker Convertible that has been with my family for nearly 25 years. Have started thinking of possibly parting with it someday. Are you still looking?
It is hard today to not get "upside down" in a car restoration project. And setting a budget is very dificult. Average shop fees start at $45 per hour at neighborhood shops up to $100 per hour in some of the high end shops I know off. Key to this question is how bad do you want it? How bad of condition is it in? And, what can you do on it yourself. I have been given cars and did quick paint up and fix and sold them for less than I have had in them. However, doing a project yourself is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. A nice convertible as you mention should sell from 60 to 80 thousand if in good condition. It could go for much higher if the restoration is remarkably good. I remember not too many years ago when you could restore a complete stepdown Hudson for 10 grand. In todays market a paint job or complete crome replate can go for about the same amount of money. Big decision that no one can really give you exact advice on but if you attend a Hudson meet and see and experience the pride of the owners you will quickly understand why it is not the cost that is important it is the love of the car, hobby and people that matters. That my friend, is a well made lifetime investment.Brownie
My car is a clean car in very good condition.
Still 6V negative ground, top works great,
Engine starts with very little effort.
Runs and is a joy for those who will appreciate it.
Need some TLC - pretty basic things - some of window seals rubber is cracked and could be replaced. Car has overdrive - but is not curently functioning, so that needs to be looked at.
Car has been in garage care for as long as we've owned it.
I can send you a picture if you would like to see it.
Regards -
I saw the photo of your car and that you are in Flower Mound Texas. Please contact me by PM.
Thanks Ken

Redding, your message deserves to have its own "thread", not be posted at the end of someone else's thread where it won't be noticed (because folks assume you're simply another reply to this fellow's message from last summer). Why not hit the grey "NEW TOPIC" button and treat yourself to your own post? You'll get a lot more viewers that way!
Also, if you want to sell this car, you might want to consider advertising it in the White Triangle News, the Hudson club's magazine. This can be done at no charge if you get a current Club member to sponsor the ad (or are you already a Club member?). More people read the magazine than come to this website. I can help you post it for free, give me a shout at firstname.lastname@example.com (delete the X before sending).

Nearly 4,000 new cases of mental health disorder were diagnosed last year among armed services personnel, according to figures published today.
Mental health statistics released by the Ministry of Defence showed 3,917 new cases of armed services personnel assessed to have a mental disorder in 2007 by the MoD's department of community mental health.
A breakdown of the statistics showed that, in line with the first nine months of last year, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of overall mental disorder between those who had deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan and those who had not deployed during the last quarter of 2007.
But the figures showed a significantly higher rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among those who had deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan compared with those who had not deployed to these countries.
