Pioneer TS-A1674R A-Series 6 1/2" 3-Way 300 Watts
Filter Results |
Good Speakers, but for the price...Pros: 1. Cheap nice set of 3-way speakers. Cons: 1. Lows are lacking. Other Thoughts: You will need a subwoofer to really make these speakers shine. Granted, I can't compare these to a set of component speakers that have a seperate woofer and tweeter. (One-way woofer will always hit harder than that mounted on a two-three-four way set-up), but for the price you pay for these, and a decent 10" subwoofer (with a properly set crossover), you will outperform an upper-end component set for a little less money. I am positive the distortion and clipping will drop when I get my subwoofer in, and I will update the review accordingly. I know that, compared to the stock speakers, I had to turn my higher frequencies down on the equalizer because it was actually hurting my ears, that's how powerful the tweeter and mid are on these speakers. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

So my 4 year old awesome Acer mouse passes away yesterday. The rubber on its mouse wheel had already melted and then yesterday the buttons stopped working properly. i dont do a lot of FPS gaming, mostly restricted to GTA 4 and COD MW3. i am looking for the cheapest and the most durable of the lot. (budget Rs. 1000) i have had bad luck with mouses. all the other mouses i bought after the Acer one has passed away. refer to http://www.flipkart.com/computers/l...4a7-296b-4c9f-b115-61dcd6eb2530&_pop=brdcrumb as thats where i will be buying from. im looking at the Logitech M185 blue. thanks!
I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer and I quite like it. I can't remember how much it was but it wasn't that much.
http://www.flipkart.com/logitech-op...FZBG&ref=566b2514-758f-463e-be38-2b386b7d7afc I'm recommending this. not the cheapest but this is a great mouse.
What would you consider cheap? I have a M60 and it's amazing! It's part aluminum, and the parts that are plastic still feel very study. I got mine for $60, and I think sneekypeet is selling on on here for $45, but I'm sure shipping to india would cost a lot.
http://www.flipkart.com/atek-7-key-...Z6M6&ref=c475bd7b-9a24-4aee-9180-6a391f5bf25e Looks like a gaming mouse but it's the first time I've seen the brand.
known of Atek a while, their products do what they say they do. That mouse looks decent, might as well try it.
The Atek is an ancient A4Tech design the same as OCZ used for their Equalizer gaming mice which are by all means straight up horrible. Save up a little longer and get a Logitech G300 I see that is only 1600 RS. And that mouse is only semi-bad. Unfortunately there are not a lot of good gaming mice below €30 (and I have no idea why most of the components are quite cheap). Cheers, Fred
+1 for the G500, a G400 is also a nice mouse... the G300 has had mixed reviews however, there is some talk about it being smaller then the G400 & G500 so it might not suit your grip. Ive been rocking a G500 for 2years or so and apart from an initial squeeking sound when pressing the left mouse button which was fixed by a small blast of chain lubricant and left a few days to completely dry it has been an excellent gaming mouse. However I do prefer my Logitech G7 a little more but Logitech dont make them anymore.
The only gaming mice that site has under Rs 1000 are... Atek 7 Key http://www.flipkart.com/atek-7-key-...Z6M6&ref=d108e957-6d6b-42ad-ac27-8773f116c238 ...and Genius Navigator G500 http://www.flipkart.com/genius-navi...P9ZP&ref=70036c31-06f3-42fc-9524-4ed1f2fd8824 You'd be gambling with either frankly. If your Acer was OEM with a PC, that's likely why it lasted 3 years vs 1 or 2. Don't expect made for gaming mice in that price range to last as long. For a bit more, I would advise this one. http://www.flipkart.com/steelseries...FFAF&ref=6a2be661-3254-4624-82d8-bee8729140d5
doesnt need to be a gaming mouse. i hardly get time to play FPS games anymore. but i do a lot of CAD work, so the pads must be super smooth.
I use M60 on Razer Goliathus (speed). The smoothness is superb. M60 is a great mouse with solid aluminum body and large multiple Teflon feet. I still recommend this despite the fact that you are saying repeatedly you don't want a gaming mouse. The truth is, it feels good in your hand the moment you touch it. You don't need to play a game to see how it shines.
no idea. never used a high dpi mouse. dont know what it does. but my mouse needs to be accurate. shouldnt shake and all. and must have a sturdy middle mouse button + scroll as that is need a lot in AutoCAD
well a higher DPI mouse you'd need a steadier hand as a slight movement can cause issues. I would of recommended a Logitech MX510 or 518 but they aren't sold anymore...
i have a very steady hand i guess. i dont need a gaming mouse as previously stated. i just a good ol smooth mouse that can take a beating on the buttons.
Get your bog standard HP/Dell, they are pretty decent. Change the feet if it doesn't glide well enough. I went from using my Sidewinder X5 to MX Performance to HP el cheapo within a month, didn't see statistically significant drop in my gaming performance. Can't comment on precision works though, but that can be fixed using low DPI setting. Back to X5 now, I like the size.
Thanks to everyone here for helping out! decided to get the logitech G400 as everyone seems to recommend that. mom will give me some money and i have saved up a couple of 100rs in the last week! plus i'll be getting 15% discount at logitech thanks to dads club membership. yayayayayayayay!
I still use my MS basic optical. Have done so for many, many years. You can take them for free from various workplaces.
I still use low dpi mice, but only b/c I started gaming when mice still had balls. I'm still used to the low DPI settings (around 400-800) but when I do use a higher DPI mouse I can definitely notice how much more accurate it is when I turn its speed sensitivity down in games and such as opposed to a lower DPI mouse with the speed sensitivity turned up. Though I usually also turn on mouse smoothing in games and windows as well. Right now I'm using this old thing... The bottom glows red too lol. Its "up to" 800DPI and I have to turn the speed up on it. I have an HP mouse that is 1200DPI I think. Its more sensitive and I don't need to crank the speed up as much but its also more accurate at the same time... Both mice are a far cry from the first one I used... As far as wireless mice go, I've used this one for gaming and had no issues, and the battery lasted freaking forever! A bit expensive though... overall though Logitech is usually a safe bet.

I have found myself bored of games.
I really want to buy a new game, but I haved been searching all over the internet and I cant find a damn thing that I want. 'Area 51' has caught my interest, but I cant be fucked forking out $35 australian (which is next to nothing) for it. I have every decent Gamecube game thats out; whenever I go to EB the only games that catch my eye are not worth the $100 price tag. I also have every DS game that interests me, and Im sort of waiting for Pheonix Wright to come out, but when it does come out I probably wont get it because I wont have enough money and then I wont be as excited for it.
I spend heaps more time looking around on the internet at new stuff about games than actually playing them. Its weird, but when I go to play games, I need someone there or else Ill get bored - even when its a single player game or campaign. Ive pulled out my SNES and have been playing Mario World 1 + 2 and Tetris.
This has been happening for a while now but I think i only just recently realised it.
Another problem is that when I get a new game, Ill get bored of it quickly even if its awsome. I stopped playing Mario and Luigi 2, not because it wasnt fun to play, just because i cant be fucked any more. The only 2 games I see myself playing all the way through and beyond is Twilight Princess and SSB3. SSBM is the only game on gamecube that i still play regularly... and thats only because I have 1 friend who is decent enough to be a challenge to me, and i still only play it if hes around.
now... perhaps its not as bad as i made it out to be, but you get the idea.
I really want the Revolution.
Anyone else slightly bored with games?
Yes. I only play them ever so often.
I read up on them a lot, as well.
True says the leaf,
A similar thing was happening to me last year. When it comes to new games, I don't play much at all anymore. I'm hoping and expecting this to change this year, though.
However, I still play games just as much. Just not the new ones. SNES and Genesis are both very excellent.
Games I'm looking forward to:
Mother 3
Suikoden V
Zelda: Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime Hunters
Children of Mana
And of course, I expect the new consoles (Just the Revolution, actually. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are both quite expensive and offer nothing new) to breath new life into my video game playing.
Take a break from gaming. Read a few books, delve into music, or get some exercise. Do something else. You're probably just burned out. Too much of anything is bad.
When and if you feel like coming back, take a look at other consoles. Sure, Nintendo's great, but you're missing out on a lot of good stuff if you limit yourself to a single console. I recomend buying a PS2. They're pretty cheap and there's bound to be something in its large library you'd like.
I get in those moods at times. The best thing to do for me is to broadan your horizons. Try playing some old school games that you never got the chance to. Or try a game out that you thought you wouldn't like but got good reviews. Different things like that and you'll find something you really enjoy and has a good story etc. Or even try some online play.
But if you limit yourself to one console, you probably will get burned out.
I used to play games non stop, now I only play them an hour or so at a time.
I like to research as much as I can about all consoles so my opinions arent bias, and I can honestly say there are about 4 or 5 games on PS2 that interest me. Not even close to enough to warrent a purchase.Originally Posted by Bombardier
...oh wait, my brother has a ps2... Im really tempted to get We <3 Katamari, but I dunno... Since I just got a job I guess Ill have alot of money. I spose I could split an xbox360 with my brother. That way I could play old xbox games aswell.
Maybe ill just wait a few months...
I'm not so much bored as I am lacking time. I'll perhaps get the chance to play something for about 10 minutes in the week. Ugh, I'm sure I'll get a night when I can just sit down for a good few hours and enjoy a good game.

The Bradley County Commission approved Resolution 2012-13 in March to call a countywide referendum on the question of whether or not a motor vehicle tax should be levied.
The referendum on the wheel tax that will appear on the Aug. 2 ballot asks: "Shall a motor vehicle tax to be assessed on residents of Bradley County, Tennessee, beginning January 1, 2013, in an amount of $32 for each motor-driven vehicle and $16 for each motorcycle owned by them (except motor vehicles not taxed by the State of Tennessee and motor-driven vehicles owned by any governmental agency or governmental instrumentality), the proceeds to be dedicated to the Debt Service Fund, for principal, interest, and fees on education capital projects, be approved?"
Vehicles exempted from the tax include motor-driven bicycles and scooters, farm tractors and self-propelled farm machines not usually used for operation on public highways. Other exemptions include former prisoners of war and disabled veterans with a 100 percent permanent service-connected disability.
The tax would be levied on large tractor-trailer trucks, but not trailers since they are not motor-driven vehicles. The wheel tax will be included in registration notices from the Tennessee Department of Revenue and will be paid to the county clerk or through online registration through the state.
Everyone not exempted by state law would be required to pay. However, low-income elderly residents could apply for a refund from the Bradley County Commission if they are at least 65 years old and have an annual income of less than $14,100.
If approved by voters, the tax would support education projects for both the city and county school systems to address capital outlay projects that fall outside the scope of their annual operating budgets.
The county school system has three priority needs. At the top of the list is replacement of Blue Springs Elementary School which was destroyed in the April 2011 tornadoes; renovations and improvements for Lake Forest Middle School; and classroom expansion at Walker Valley High School. The portion designated for Cleveland City Schools is locked in for a new elementary school on the north side of town.
Bradley County School Board Chairman Charlie Rose and attorney Bill Brown argued voters should approve a $32 wheel tax. Attorney Andrew Morgan and Dr. John Stanbery argued against the resolution during an hourlong discussion Tuesday evening in the third of three political forums sponsored by the Bradley County Bar Association and Cleveland Lions Club.
Morgan, a bankruptcy attorney, said voters should oppose the wheel tax referendum because no one knows what the future holds and it might not be possible to simply make the payments to pay off the debt.
"The problem is, I don't want Bradley County to be the next person to walk in my door saying, 'I can't make the payments anymore.'"
Rose said the voters of Bradley County need to step forward and pass the wheel tax to support educational needs identified by both the city and county school boards.
"We can put it off. We can wait and say we don't have these needs, but I haven't heard anybody say that. Everybody recognizes we have the needs, just how do we get over the big hurdle?" he asked.
Based on election cycles, he said it would be eight years before the needs could be addressed if the resolution fails in August. Even if the referendum is approved, it will still be 1 ½ years before the board can start building schools.
"We are talking about driving a vehicle for 20 years — $640 for every vehicle you drive," he said. "I think that is a small price to pay when we have such a good school system. Bradley County Schools operate on a very, very small budget."
Stanbery asked how if Bradley County cannot currently borrow money, how would it borrow additional money in the next few years after adding $32 million to the debt load.
"Will the school board approach the County Commission and ask for more funds before we can pay off the $32 million loan? If so, how will we pay for those requests? What happens if we have another natural disaster or an unforeseen circumstance in the next few years? Will the Bradley County government guarantee the taxpayers there will not be any need in the next 20 years for new schools, new roads or services? If they won't give that guarantee, how much higher will the wheel tax have to go and will property taxes be increased?
"Pass or fail, we have a serious debt problem in Bradley County because we've raised the local portion of the sales tax to the state maximum by law. We can't raise the sales tax any higher and a property tax increase can't happen this year because the County Commission has already set the rate. If the sales tax referendum fails, we are forcing our government to live within its means and focus on priorities. Pass or fail, our government is not able to borrow any more money without additional sources of revenue.
"As citizens, we either say 'no' to excess spending or we accept an additional $32 million in debt and the possibility of an increase in property taxes."
Brown said Stanbery acknowledged the wheel tax would bring the school systems up to what is needed.
"The whole idea is that we need to wait because we need to live within our means," Brown said. "There will be a burden and the question is: Who will that burden be placed on? I've got an office downtown. The burden won't be placed on me and most people in this room, it won't be put on you.
"But those kids who go to Walker Valley High School who don't have classrooms, who don't have resources, their education is going to be taxed and the question is their future. Those kids at Lake Forest, we keep hearing they put it in a swamp. We're not talking about a swamp. We're talking about a roof, that it is more cost-effective to build a new building than fix that roof. What about those kids? When we talk about the kids at Blue Springs Elementary School who had their school blown down, what about them? What's the tax burden on them and what are we waiting on, for more problems to raise their heads?
"The question is not whether or not there will be a burden. The question is whether or not Bradley County is prepared to deal with the burden today. If it doesn't, it lets those teachers and those kids pay the taxes on their education. For me, that's a problem for a community that has invited the world to come to Bradley County."
Other points raised during the discussion included Brown's assertion the leaking roof at Lake Forest Middle School affected habitability and the structural integrity of the building itself. The loss of Blue Springs Elementary School is causing overcrowding in other schools and Walker Valley High School students are eating lunch in the hallway because the cafeteria is being used as a classroom.
Stanbery said Bradley County is $78 million in debt and it rises to approximately $110 million if the referendum is approved. No one argues the needs do not exist. The disagreement is holding elected officials accountable for making bad decisions by choosing to build the fine arts building at Bradley Central High School instead of fixing Lake Forest Middle School.He asked, why not fix the middle school with the money available to fix an existing problem and then vote on whether or not to build a fine arts center. If the public continues to bail out bad decisions, he said, the public will continue to get bad decisions.Brown said a property tax increase was used to address the previous debt load required to meet the educational needs. In a political move, the County Commission chose not to fully deal with the debt. The opportunity now exists to commit a revenue stream completely dedicated to that by resolution.He said elected officials made the decision to build the Fine Arts Building and they can be held accountable at the ballot box. But, he asked, when a school is blown down by a tornado, whose decision was it to blow that building down and whose decision is it to put it back?
He said the issues facing the city and county school systems have to be addressed today.
Stanbery said there was a full replacement policy on Blue Springs Elementary School. The school system was paid nearly $1 million. Instead of using the money to replace the roof, they opted to build a new school.
If the wheel tax is not passed, the County Commission is forced to take a look and make spending cuts. The county spends more revenue than it collects.
Rose said a new school could not be built on the undersized and landlocked property. The cost of rebuilding would be exorbitant. A new energy-efficient school will pay for itself over time. He said the children deserve better and the county can do better. More than 80 percent of the students receive free and reduced lunches. The only hope many of them have is education.
Morgan likened the situation to wrecking his 3-year-old pickup truck that gets 16 miles per gallon. He then takes the insurance payoff and puts a down payment on a Mercedes Benz that gets 25 mpg and has a monthly payment. There are good and bad decisions. Past decisions made by elected leaders affect future decisions. His concern is that buildings do not teach children. Teachers teach. He said "wants" are being placed before "needs."
Brown said every school in Bradley County was built with bonds. If the argument is the county government must live within its means, there would be no schools.
Morgan said officials can be replaced, but the debt stays. The county has no more assets and no more collateral to borrow money.
Rose said the projected interest rate is 5 percent, but the predicted rate is 2 ½ to 3 percent. Any money left over would go toward existing debt. The wheel tax would raise $32 million over 20 years at 5 percent.
Stanbery said over a 20-year payout, the county would pay $14.5 million on a 4 percent loan, which he pointed out is the equivalent of a new elementary school. Only the interest is paid on the Park View Elementary School bond for the first 12 years. A child who began the first grade in 2011 will graduate before any payments on the principle are made.
Brown asked why the County Commission and City Council did not raise property taxes higher in order to pay off debt sooner. The reason is because the public complained and rejected the idea of paying for needs. That behavior keeps local government in perpetual debt.
Early voting for the Aug. 2 election continues through July 28, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The three early voting locations are at the Election Commission Office, 155 Broad St., N.W.; Bradley Square Mall Conference Center, 200 Paul Huff Parkway, N.W.; and BI-LO Store No. 343, 2310 McGrady Drive S.E.

IVCC Board 2-19
OGLESBY — Following a restructuring of Illinois' Local Workforce Investments Areas (LWIA), Illinois Valley Community College will no longer be a Dislocated Workers Center hub — ending a nearly 30-year arrangement — IVCC trustees learned on Feb. 19.
Under the consolidation plan presented by Pam Furlan, executive director of the Business Employment Skills Team (BEST), part of Workforce Area No. 4 (Carroll, Ogle, Whiteside and Jo Daviess counties) will be combined with all of No. 12 (Bureau, LaSalle, Lee and Putnam counties).
IVCC's nine DWC employees, whose positions were contingent upon a contract with BEST, will be terminated with regret effective June 30 but will have an opportunity for employment within the restructured LWIA.

NP Rank:
Illegal conviction for investigating police wrongdoing
In New Hampshire recording another person in a phone coversation without their consent is a misdemeanor. A Ademo Mueller recorded a phone conversation he had with a police officer ( a very short one) asking the officer about what seemed to be clearly an unnecessary use of force by another officer assigned to a high school.
Well, Mr. Mueller was charged and convicted of felonies by the prosecution, though to meet the guideline of a felony conviction one needs to intercept a phone call and not just be a party to it. Clearly Mr. Mueller was not this, even under this very questionable law. Why the judge did not throw out these clearly wrongly applied felony charges, I have no idea.
The application of the law in this case, is clearly motivated by revenge to get Mr. Mueller, who started a police watchdog site, called CopBlock. There is in this nation, a clear lack of independence between prosecutors and police when there are conflicts of interest. Now, I wonder how many cases are actually prosecuted per year in New Hampshire under this wiretapping law?
The fact is this law in its' misdemeanor form serves to reduce and restrict press and speech freedom. It reduces the ability to investigate wrongdoing of not only police but business or other officials. It reduces the effectivness of investigative journalism. After all, if a corrupt official does not have to worry if he/she is being recorded while making statement revealing wrongdoing or trying to cover up evidence or information, that gives him or her much less to worry about. By the way, if someone saves a text message, is that wiretapping?
Amazingly, even though jurors were told they have the right ( a right going back under common law before we were even a nation) to nullify unjust and unwarranted application of laws (such as for political reasons in this case) they did not do so. They were good little boys and girls, so to speak, and convicted Mr. Mueller. Even though it was quite clear that the prosecution was politically motiviated. New Hampshire is the only state that clearly spells out to jurors this right, in other states jurors are denied this knowledge by the prosecution and judges.
On a good note there has been a subcomittee hearing on removing the misdemeanor language on this law, so requring actual intercept by a different party to the call or conversation. Something that Mr. Mueller did not do, but again that he was convicted under. This reform bill is HB 553, which you can as a New Hampshire resident or not, urge the NH Legislature's Criminal Justice Committee to support.

Front axle pivotThe pivot thrust washers are gone on my front axle. If I take it apart to fix that I might as well change the bushings in there too. Are the bushings some funky size or can they be had at a bearing house or mcmaster Carr? Any one have the i.d x o.d x length? I guess the same question applies to the thrust washers too. Is it likely that the shaft in there is going to be beat up too? It's been pretty well greased up since I've had it (3 yrs) but no telling maintenance history before that. Thanks

Wow... Actually double wow, almost $60.00 bucks plus shipping for the parts. If your cub is a hobby tractor I would search for an alternative suitable method of repair that is about $50 bucks cheaper! "HAVE ALL YOUR DELIVERIES MADE BY UNION DRIVERS"

Buy the materials, make these parts and ship them to my door for $3.00 a piece and I'll be your first customer.
Re: Front axle pivotThrust washers by definition are expensive. Even for my JD lawnmower they are pricey. For something as critical as the front axle pivot - I would only use materials that are either OEM or built to spec replacements. And yeah I am frugal but within reason.

Re: Front axle pivot
Or TN cubs.I have had them so thin they looked like foil. Have had others that were so bad, both ends were broken off the axle and the pin was held in place with just going through the axle tube.
Re: Front axle pivot
Thrust washers and bushings are sacrificial. They are made to be chewed up or worn down instead of the component or components they are mated with, those aforementioned components usually of much higher material value. You have to remember today's lubricants far surpass anything available as far back as even the turn of this century. Greases that even a pressure washer won't take out allow the manufacturers of today to eliminate bushings, thrust washers, and sadly grease Zerks because of zero friction lubricants. Metal to metal with no friction because of good grease is the way today's world spins. Sometimes you have to take into account today's technology when repairing antiquated equipment. I'll go ahead and stick my neck out by saying if one of my tractors was missing the thrust washers, they'd be replaced with mild steel and lubricated wth premium grease at regular intervals. Sure there is nothing like using OEM parts, but if you can be frugal by applying today's technology to combat exorbitant parts prices, do it. "HAVE ALL YOUR DELIVERIES MADE BY UNION DRIVERS"

Re: Front axle pivot
Buy It Now.. 6.95! The only thing that could make that deal sweeter would be FREE SHIPPING! That is not what I would determine to be classified as exorbitant pricing on the bushing. Brass is only a little over a buck fifty a POUND right now. "HAVE ALL YOUR DELIVERIES MADE BY UNION DRIVERS"
Re: Front axle pivot
Good question. I was assuming they might need to be replaced but maybe not. I'm not sure if you could even tell without taking it apart. Maybe better to take it apart, have the thrust washers on hand and take a look at the bushings and then decide. No big deal to order after it is apart. No sense spending money if no need to.
