Three prominent Betfair Hollywood Park trainers – Mike Mitchell, Eoin Harty and John Shirreffs – are participants during the Spring/Summer meet in Darley Flying Start, an international intern program for the racing industry.
Started nine years ago by Sheikh Mohmmed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Flying Start selects 12 applicants each year to partake in the two-year program. Aspirants are selected from a worldwide pool of ambitious young adults in their mid-to-late 20's.
Two of the 12 have been assigned to trainers at Betfair Hollywood Park and are scheduled to stay for one month. Jack Davison is working with Eoin Harty while Tony Tian is learning under John Shirreffs. Both students are staying in the home of Mitchell and his wife, Denise.
Accommodations are just one of the provisions for the interns. They are also given health insurance, laptops, transportation, flights and visas, and most importantly a full scholarship. The one thing they must bring to the table is a strong desire for personal development.
"Jack (Davison) is going to get a crash course over the next month," said Eoin Harty. "I've had kids in this program before and it's just like life, you have to really want it to make something of yourself. This is an excellent opportunity to see what they're made of."
Harty indicated that no area of horsemanship is off limits. "He's going to be my assistant slave for the next month," the trainer kidded. "He's going to get a chance to see how the entire stable runs; from hot walking, galloping, schooling, taking them to the gate and reading the condition book."
Mitchell's son-in-law, Craig Rounsefell, whose nickname is Boomer, was an intern in the program several years ago and now heads Boomer Bloodstock. Trainer Dan Blacker, who won his first race at Betfair Hollywood Park last Dec. 18 with Hameildaeme, also is a former participant.
"It's worked out real well so far," said Denise Mitchell. "They (Jack and Tony) have known each other since the orientation period, so there wasn't any social awkwardness. They share a car to the track from our home in the South Bay. They've already spent time in Lexington, Kentucky and Ireland. In August, it will be one year since they joined the program. They'll get a month off after Hollywood Park and then they're off to Hunter Valley, Australia."
Harty knows the importance of the experience to the young men and the hectic pace they'll have to keep, but is keeping a lighthearted approach. "Jack's been here two days and he hasn't quit yet," quipped the Irish-born trainer.
When it comes to discussing Amazombie, last year's champion sprinter, Bill Spawr starts slowly, but the tempo quickly increases and he finds it difficult to rein in his exuberance.
If all goes as planned, the 6-year-old California bred will take the exact same path as last year when he captured the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs, using the Triple Bend, Bing Crosby, and Ancient Title as springboards.
"I'm probably 75-80 per cent sure he'll go in the Triple Bend (Grade I $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap June 30th)," proclaimed Spawr. His last race (Grade II Churchill Downs Stakes May 5th), the trip and all, really tired him out. But he's back to normal now. He tried to run off this morning, which he's never done. He's really sharp now.
"If I have any doubt at all, just the slightest doubt, I'll wait for the Bing Crosby because I have to win the Ancient Title. That's my goal. The Breeders' Cup, you have to be lucky to win that, but I have to win the Ancient Title because it's a 'Win and You're In.' It's a huge, huge difference. I didn't believe how important it is until I won it last year."
Sizing up this year's competition, Spawr wasn't shy. When asked about Roman Threat's decisive victory in Monday's Los Angeles Handicap, the trainer replied "Bring him on. We already beat him easy." Though the official chart shows Amazombie defeating Roman Threat by three-quarters of a length April 7th, Spawr said the margin is deceiving.
"Did you see my rider (Mike Smith), he could have opened up any time he wanted. Did you see Shackleford run? He defeated all the 'world beaters" on the East coast (in the Met Mile May 28th). Shackleford will never run against us going six or six and a half furlongs because he wouldn't have a shot. He's not going to run that short because he's going to catch horses like The Factor, who's going to go (a half mile in) 43 (seconds). He can't do that.
"Take nothing away from that horse, he's a good horse. We would have liked to win the race the other day (when second to Shackleford in the Churchill Downs Stakes), but things didn't go right. I know that and the people with the horse know that. But we were pleased to run second to that horse. They were five or six in front of the others and some of them have already come back to win.
"We probably had our best day of the year Monday when Shackleford won that race and Roman Threat won the Los Angeles. It more than flatters us."
Amazombie breezed three furlongs in 36 flat May 28th, his first official drill since returning from Kentucky. "I feel so confident in the horse,'' said Spawr. "I think he's even stronger than last year. It's going to be a lot of fun."
CLOSING STRIDES—Mario Gutierrez, who went from obscurity to world prominence after guiding I'll Have Another to victories in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, is scheduled to be a guest on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Thursday night, June 7th. The show airs at 12:30 a.m. on NBC………Birthday wishes to John Shirreffs, who turns 67 Friday…….Hunch players cashed a nice exacta on Monday's Memorial Day card when Called to Serve and Patriot's Voyage ran one-two.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Alisa Marie Fleming from the Go Dairy Free website and asked to review a few books, My Sweet Vegan by Hannah Kaminsky and Go Dairy Free by Alisa herself. What a wonderfully generous opportunity, right?! When the books arrived in my mailbox, I immediately cozied up on the futon with a blanket and started reading. I had the pleasure of meeting Hannah when she was in Portland in 2008 for a book signing event at Herbivore. She was so sweet and made treats for everybody to enjoy, including some yummy whoopie pies! Since I already own a copy of My Sweet Vegan, I will be having a giveaway soon (everybody can enter too!!!). But first I want to review Go Dairy Free.
Go Dairy Free is an incredible resource for vegans, vegetarians, and any individuals wanting (or needing) to reduce/eliminate dairy from their diet. The book begins with an introduction about dairy (what it is, why we don't need it, allergies, etc) and ends with an abundance of wonderful recipes! In between are chapters about eating dairy-free away from home, grocery shopping, and dairy alternatives. There are plenty of tips, links, and recommendations for both online and offline reading resources too. This book is so well organized!!! I marked about a zillion recipes to make! Time is seriously disappearing in my life but I still found enough to make a few recipes (well actually, Tim made the second one, but still…):
Light Apricot Scones – Oh my goodness, these are delicious!! I made them twice, once for Tim and I to enjoy and once for a vegan bake sale. They are so simple, quick, and addictive.
Sesame Soba Noodles – Insanely quick, healthy, and so very tasty. If you are pressed for time this is the perfect recipe for lunch or dinner. It's also a great meal for adaptability, you can add veggies, tofu, tempeh, other seeds… Whatever your lil' non-dairy heart desires!!!
I have marked plenty more recipes to try from Go Dairy Free: Oatmeal Blender Waffles, Peanut Buttery African Stew, Sunflower Seed Cheese, Cashew Gravy, and Portobello-Ricotta Ravioli just to name a few!!! Yummy sounding stuff, right?
I have been enjoying Go Dairy Free so much that it keeps moving from my cookbook shelf to my bedroom to my living room and back to the cookbook shelf… Repeat, repeat, repeat. If you don't own a copy of Go Dairy Free, you should. It is so packed full of tips, and I love tips!!!
I hope to have a review of My Sweet Vegan posted before the end of the week. Keep your eyes peeled because I will be giving away a copy (thanks Alisa!!) to one lucky reader. It would make a super gift for the holidays (or for yourself of course!).
Keep cozy in the cold if you live in the Northern Hemisphere, or cool in the heat if you live in the Southern Hemisphere. Go have some tea and a scone.

Stay tuned for the latest news about further developments in ultra-high capacity kits at www.gskill.com.
lol sick
Finally! The computing power I need to check emails and write up some documents.
Sick indeed!!!!!
That's sick but who needs 48GB's when we can barely use up our 4GBs of RAM?
"The future starts with you; now start posting more!"
lol I really would love to see a Post of the work of the kinds of people that would need 48 GB's of memory. 12 GB ok I understand applications are getting more cumbersome in memory usage, but 48! Now I'm sure this is needed by people out there. I would just like to know what kind of people or professions?
@wil2200, no solitaire?
Well, you can now render 100 3D models at once :P lol. theres never enough RAM!
Wow... that's a lot of ram.
You could build a sick system with this hardware.... stick it in a closet and setup virualization and have multiple gaming systems in your house running from 1 box.
Host some LAN parties maybe?
acarzt, I don't know. I think the memory only stores temporary files. If you do host a mobile LAN party, shouldn't you have like a GPU and a CPU that can provide equivalent graphics and performance to nearly every computer in the house (for modern games).
More like, build the sick system then keep it all to your self at a lan party...! lol selfish me...
Well I wasn't thinking the ram alone lol
I was stating to build a system using this ram and that EVGA board, a pair of sick intel chips, and 4 GTX480s.
That would be enough to spread some gaming love across a few computers.
Also how do you think things like On Live run? There isn't a dedicated system to each user in some remote location. They are using similar hardware in a huge server farm and capping graphics to keep resource usage down.
The huge amount of RAM and the high speed would be perfect for virtualization since that is where the virtual system is stored... in the RAM. :-)
It's a marvelous tribute to excess.
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
Graphic Artists, People who do c.g.i. for movies who need to render and don't want to wait for 30mins to an hour to see how the final product looks, this would be a awesome system.
If you want an idea of who would use the system, I think there might be some old you tube videos of Adobe Inc. During the Intel Core i7 launch they commented on processor speeds helping them do work. I would also think people in the science and engineering fields who could use all that power to crunch huge numbers fast to prove a theory.
The ultimate E-Peen rig.
Damn you beat me to it. The only thing that sucks about RAMdisks is that it always needs power so the memory doesn't get wiped out when the power goes out.
Current computer:
Asus G73JH-A1
Core i7 720QM
Mobility Radeon 5870 1GBVRAM
8GB Ram
1 X OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD
17.3FHD (1080P) Panel
Blu Ray Drive (reader)
HDMI Out
Ramdisks are cool and all... but the major drawback is that they are volatile memory.
The moment you lose power, you lose everything.
And yes there is the option to save whatever is in ramdisk to hard drive... but then you are bottlenecked at startup and shut down by the speed of your HDD or SSD.
Loading up 12GBs of data to a Ramdisk on boot would be reidiculous!
Also, most ram does not have error checking, and RAM is far more prone to have errors, so this too would be a problem.
the only reason I could think that you would need 48 gigs of ram is if you are running a massive server.
Why stop there fat? Might as well through on a few of those Asus Ares cards too ;-)
hook up 4 5980s to this motherboard.
LOL just get everything you can get your hands on and throw it in there... it will handle it like a BEAST! :P. But i don't see why anyone would really need that :D
I want.
i7 920 @ 3.8 gb, 12 gig g.skill PC3 12800 12GB (2GB x 6) CL 6-8-6-20-2N, 4 x Wd Black 640gig hd in raid 10 (storage), 2 OCZ vertex2 60gb raid 0 (boot), 2 Sapphire HD6850, Gigabyte X58A-UD5 mb, Silverstone SST-STF85F psu, cooled by corsair h50, and lots of fans in an Antec P160W case.
"just get everything you can get your hands on and throw it in there... it will handle it like a BEAST!"
And all with a 350 Watt power supply too,.........
You must be blind inspector if you dont see why some one needs 48gb ram, 2 i7s ,a killer mother board, and 4 5970s.
I need this system so i can say i have this.
I need it so I can conquer the world... err I mean bring world peace :-)
Lets all kiss up to acarzt for now, when he conquers the world... i meant brings world peace we might get some where in our life :).
Fat, And that is all you would ever get :)
Yes... do that... it sounds like a great idea lol
I tell you who needs it and who wants it! MEEE!!!....
This is what a workstation is supposed to be! I get locked up with only 4GB's of RAM!!
4GB is the lowest you should go..Hell this kit needs to be 8GB X12!! That would be a perfect match for two Xenons! Then maybe just top it off with Dual Quadro 6000's and a Tesla c1060!
That would be perfect, if price was no option! I am sure the MoBo and CPU's are a pretty penny to begin with!
lol 96gb. yea 48gb is not enough, only nubs use 48gb
I'm a 3d animator currently running a couple of i7 980x rigs with 24GB of ram and I max out the 24 gigs nearly every day on my more complex scenes. When it comes to high end 3d animation, almost no amount of ram is overkill. Crysis is still a slideshow though.
Got any examples of these animations that are tearing through that ram? :-P
I'm curious to see what taking up so much ram lol
Yeah that's the problem I run into. When My scenes get ready for rendering it takes forever...SO I kinda have to plan it over a couple weeks rendering only a few frames over the night :(
And i am just rendering SSD Shaded characters with Mental Ray maps on the scenery, I would hate to see what it does whit a photorealistic shot combined with a VUE background I can barely have Caustics and FG turned up
I think you mean 2 Xeon's. The EVGA SR-2 doesn't support Core i7.
I beleive he means seperate systems, both with i7 980x's
hook up 4 5980s to this motherboard.
No, just one GT240 1-GB will do it.
3D animators, Game animators, and program designers bro, need all we can get xD

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Samsung HW-E450 by Marshall Chase Sound bar speakers: room-filling sound with less clutter Add big sound to your TV without a roomful of speakers. Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system. The picture quality of today's HDTVs is fantastic. But frankly, the sound can be about as flat as the panel. Samsung's HW-E450's dynamic, full-bodied sound will dance pirouettes around your TV's tiny speakers. This sound bar uses virtual surround sound processing to create a wraparound effect that draws you into the action. You'll love the way it brings the soundtracks of DVDs, Blu-ray movies and high-def TV shows to life. You won't even need a receiver or amplifier this sound bar has built-in amplification to power its six drivers for clear dialogue and spacious, lifelike effects. Add a little boom to your room A separate subwoofer rounds out the sound, adding depth to music and bass punch to your favorite action movies. And its wireless design means you can position this sub anywhere in your room. Place the sound bar on a TV stand or cabinet, or mount it on your wall using the included bracket for a neat, finished look. At just 2" deep, it'll look great below today's ultra-slim flat-panel TVs. Not just for television You can also play music through the HW-E450. Built-in Bluetooth® lets you stream your playlist directly from your compatible smartphone, tablet or laptop computer. You can also use the back-panel USB input to enjoy music files from your thumb drive.

Features Controls Connections Features Crystal Surround Air Track (Active Speaker System): The Samsung HW-E450 Crystal Surround Air Track System includes an AudioBar and a wireless powered subwoofer. The Samsung HW-E450 is a 2.1-channel audio system that lets you experience a rich, powerful virtual surround sound from two speakers (AudioBar and wireless powered subwoofer). The slim, compact Samsung HW-E450's AudioBar can be mounted on the wall or placed on a table-top, while the wireless subwoofer can be positioned anywhere in the room to achieve maximum audio performance. AudioBar: The AudioBar is a self-powered, two-channel speaker which provides enveloping virtual surround sound from a single speaker. The AudioBar includes four 2" midrange drivers and two 0.75" soft-dome tweeters housed in a bass-reflex, gloss-black cabinet with two rear-firing ports (the speaker contains no grille). The AudioBar features a built-in 80 watts x 2-channel digital amplifier to drive its speakers. The AudioBar is designed to be mounted directly below or above your flat-panel HDTV in a horizontal orientation. The AudioBar can be placed on a shelf or table-top. The AudioBar also includes a wall-mount bracket which allows you to fix the speaker to your wall. The Audio Bar includes analog audio and digital audio/video connections. Wireless Powered Subwoofer: The wireless powered subwoofer receives its low-frequency audio signal wirelessly from the AudioBar via 5.8GHz transmission. There are no cords to connect, except the AC power cord. You can place the wireless powered subwoofer up to 33' away from the AudioBar. The wireless powered subwoofer features a side-firing 6" woofer inside a bass-reflex, gloss-black cabinet with a rear-firing port. The 6" woofer is powered by a built-in 120 watt amplifier. Surround Sound Decoding: The Samsung HW-E450 Crystal Surround Air Track System employs decoders compatible with Dolby Digital, DTS, and SFE. Dolby Digital: This is the standard audio signal format used on DVDs, and other purely digital media. This surround technology delivers high-quality digital audio of up to 5.1 discrete channels to produce a directional and more realistic effect. DTS: DTS provides a discrete 5.1 channel digital audio signal for both music and movie content and uses less compression than Dolby Digital for richer sound. SFE (Sound Field Effect): Using a 32-bit audio digital signal processor the HW-E450 provides a more realistic surround sound with normal stereo audio source. The Samsung HW-E450 offers 7 different sound field modes (News, Drama, Sports, Game, Cinema, Music, and Off/Original Sound). 3D Depth Sound: The 3D sound feature adds depth and spaciousness to your listening experience. Controls Smart Volume: This function will regulate and stabilize the volume level against a drastic volume change in case of a channel change or scene transition. AV Sync: AV Sync can be used to help sync video to audio when connected to a digital HDTV. Video may look slower than the audio if it is connected to a digital TV. If this occurs, you can adjust the audio delay time to match the video. You can adjust the AV Sync from 0 to 300ms. DRC: You can use the DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) function to enjoy Dolby Digital sound when watching movies at low volume during the night. DRC compresses the audio to make the loudest sounds quieter and the quietest sounds louder. Subwoofer Level: You can independently adjust the volume of the wireless powered subwoofer from 1 to 6, using the system's remote control. Speaker Selection: This function enables you to select between listening to audio from your TV or audio from the Air Track system when connected via HDMI. Remote Control: The included IR remote control provides wireless operation of the Samsung HW-E450 system and can also be used to control your connected Samsung TV. The remote control has a TV hotkey that enables you to perform various operations with the simple press of a button. You can adjust the volume or change the channel on the Samsung TV. Anynet+: Anynet+ is a convenient feature that offers linked operation with other Samsung components that have the Anynet+ feature, and lets you control those products with one Samsung remote control. To operate this function, you must connect Samsung HW-E450 Crystal Surround Air Track System to an Anynet+ Samsung TV using an HDMI cable.

The TV's sound quality is so much better with the sound bar. It really fills the room. It's nice to be able to use Bluetooth and USB memory sticks as sources too. Instruction manual has some less than complete information but if you have set up other sound systems this one probably will not be hard. Being a novice, I ended up going to a audio/video forum to get some of my questions answered. Now that I know something about "modern" a/v, the setup seems simple. Pros: Great sound. Small profile. Multiple sources. Cons: Instructions not verbose enough for this beginner. Simulated surround sound is a little off sometimes. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Can't cover me Written By Joe A, Queens NY on Monday, April 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The sound bar is great I happy to own it. The sub - woofer is a bit of a disappointment. I don have a corner in my room. Well of course I do but one has a steam radiator and the other is next to a wall unit. So I'm really not getting the best from the sub- woofer unless I really turn it up . Eighteen and higher. When I do it smile time. Worth every penny. I'm a shopper and this unit is the best pop for the money Pros: Price quality and looks . Nice to show it off. I have another sound bar and it ugly by comparison ,cost more and doesn't have the sound. Cons: Sound bar takes twenty minutes to shut off unless you do it manually 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Exactly what I was looking for Written By Nick $, Centreville, VA on Saturday, March 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Ordered this instead of similar Polk system and I'm glad I did. Looks great mounted under my 40" Samsung TV. The TV is mounted to the wall on a swiveling mount so I used sound bar backets to hang it directly under the TV. Exposed speaker drivers looks great! Sounds is better than I expected and the sub is sufficient. As long as you do not expect it to replace or compete with a true 5.1 or 7.1 system this bar . No issues with wireless Internet interference. The only con is minor and is an issue with any sound at I expect. Highly recommend this unit. Pros: Looks great Easy setup HDMI or optical cable options Integration with Samsung TVs (AnyNet) works well, syncs the TV volume control to the sound bar Cons: The HDMI configuration allows for use of AnyNet and turns off the bar when the TV goes off but does not turn on the bar with the TV. The optical cable option will turn on and off with the TV but no sync the volume. So neither cable gives you all three. No big deal if you have a universal or smart remote. I've got it working perfectly with HDMI using a Harmony remote and some delays built in startup. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No 3 out of 5 Review for Samsung HW-E450 Written By FrankM, Albuquerque,NM on Wednesday, February 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Received this with my Samsung UN46ES8000 purchase. Sound is good but the setup was very frustrating because for some strange reason a simple setup is not possible if one wants the ES8000 remote control to be used for both units. IMHO Samsung really messed this up. After much trial and error, I wound up with both an optical and an HDMI /ARC with Anynet+ on connections. With this setup I can control the volume with the TV remote and turn the E450 off but it will not turn on with the TV. After reading through several support forums on this issue it appears that some LG TV remotes work just fine with the E450. Go figure..... 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Samsung sound bar Written By Ashley203, Oceanside CA on Tuesday, February 05, 2013 I don't know if people are using this in a huge room or are incompetent. Good price, great sound in a 12x12 bedroom. Full sound with dramatic bass. I've had it for almost 2 years, no issues. Super simple instructions. Took 3 extra minutes to figure out how to sink the tv. All in all you will be hard pressed to find a more cost effective solution. Pros: Price Bass Easy setup No receiver needed Cons: It's a low cost sound bar with easy setup. If you want something that will take a few hrs to setup, cost the price of a mortgage, yeah there's better out there. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice and clean! Written By Barry, Sunrise,, FL on Tuesday, January 01, 2013 I got this piece when I bought my pc and led monitor. Sound is clean and clear, all you need to do is adjust the soundeffect/eq setting for the type of sound you would like to use (i.e. more treble, mid, or bass). The bass adjustment is a nice feature matched with an easy setup make gets this unit crackin'. Pros: Nice features, easy setup and good sound. Cons: Bigger woofer (7-8 in.) would give a little more drop. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The glossy black sound bar matches my Glossy black Samsung TV. It looks great together and the sound is awesome. From reading some of the reviews I was hesitate but am glad I ordered this sound bar. Well worth the money! Pros: Much improved sound bluetooth wireless sub glossy black finish Cons: would be nice if the speakers in the sound bar had grills to protect them Having trouble getting my TIVO remote to control the volume but this may be an issue that I may have to figure out with TIVO 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good Job Samsung. Written By Steve1971, Saint Paul, MN on Friday, December 14, 2012 My wife bought this for me yesterday as a replacement for an old out of date Av Surround Sound system. This is my first Soundbar and to be honest I wasnt expecting to much but when I set it all up I was pleasently surprised. First setup was very easy and very simple to hook up. Once done I was very surprise at how well the sound was. I mean by no means is this a full blown 5.1 or 7.1 sound but if you set it to 3D surround it envelopes you and makes you feel part of the program you are watching. Voices and sounds come through loud and clear and the Subwoofer provides just the right amount of Bass. This is the perfect sound bar for a small room setup which I currently have. I would say my only beef is the remote control which does not control anything when it comes to my Sony HX750 HDTV but thats ok because Samsung makes it very clear that it wont control features of a tv unless its a Samsung tv which I refuse to ever buy. Also Samsung doesnt provide an optical cable which I think is wrong as well. This is the only reason why I didnt give it a 5 star rateing, the remote could have been better and they should have included an optical cable. That being said anyone looking for great sound and great Bass for a small room setup then go with the Samsung HW-E450 Soundbar. Its well worth the money. Pros: Easy setup and great sound and Bass, Slim stylish design. Perfect fit for todays slim HDTV's and small room setup. Cons: Remote could have been better and Samsung should have included Optical Cable. 13 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 No wonder it was free Written By EricP, Springfeld, Mo on Monday, October 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Glad it was free with my TV purchase because it's not worth the price. First one I got was faulty and had an overheat problem before I ever used it. You can't use the aux cable it comes with to connect to your tv because it's opposite inputs. So you have to buy a different cable. The sound quality is mediocre and doesn't handle music with mild bass very well. Pros: Got it free, increases volume. Cons: everything else. 2 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 Will not synch with Universal Remotes Written By MDO, Houston, TX on Saturday, October 13, 2012 I bought this Samsung soundbar to enhance my Samsung TV. However, after installing it I found that it won't synch to turn on with my Direct TV remote. The way it requires the HDMI cable to route, the TV won't recieve a signal unless the soundbar is on. Very annoying to have to now use a second remote. Therefore, I purchased a universal Logitech Harmony 650 Remote. It won't work with that either. I'm giving up and buying a different Soundbar. The sound was mediocre at best, and it isn't worth the remote headaches. Pros: None Cons: Won't synch with remotes to turn on. Sound isn't great. 7 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 SamsungHW-E450 Written By L.B.Sloan, Garland , Texas on Monday, August 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Audio levels were so poor on my new 47 inch Led TV and I did not want to get yet another receiver I decided a soundbar would be the best solution for me. I had heard and read that the subwoofers were totally inadequate for large rooms. Since this tv was doing into the master bedroom I was not too concerned about booming bass. I could not be more pleased with the soundbar for this purpose. If this setup was for a large Living Room or Den f' get about it and the Bass is more than acceptable for my purpose.The bar provides clear, crisp dialog and the bass is more than enough for the explosions and car chases. Classical music on the Dish channels is so-so but that was not intended to be the primary source, but it"s great for the Sports channels. As always dealing with Crutchfield was a walk in the park.Three days enroute and it was at my front door. Now all I have to do is pay for it...but not too much!!!!! Thanks Crutchfield Pros: Great service...free shipping...... competitive price..and it works...easy installation...life is good Cons: None 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Not a Big Improvement Written By Bill, NC on Monday, August 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was included free with my Samsung PN64E8000 64 inch plasma television. I guess you get what you pay for. The quality was only slightly better than the television. Had I actually paid money for this I would have returned it. As with the Samsung television the included manual was poor at best. It took 2 calls to Crutchfield tech support to get the sound bar connected to the television. I still haven't located the information in the included manual that tech support provided to me so I'm guessing Samsung failed to include it in the manual. One feature the manual does mention is the sound bar should automatically come on when the television is turned on. However, this has not happened for me. I need to physically walk over to the sound bar and press the very small on/off button on the back of it to turn it on. It does however, turn off when the television is turned off. When adjusting the volume on the television there's a number that shows what the volume is. When the sound bar is functioning there's is no number to use as a reference. The sound quality is better than the televsion but not by much. I'd be just as happy without the soundbar. In fact I probably won't be using it as it's too much of a bother to turn on each time I want to use it. Pros: None Cons: Poor sound quality 6 out of 15 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Clean and functional Written By Bobby NY, Brooklyn, NY on Tuesday, July 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Out of the box its very functional and easy to use. It looks great. But fragile because the speakers are open to the environment. Meaning if you have kids who like to touch they could damage the tweeters very easily. The audio is very clear. Not loud and theater like but a wonderful addition if your not interested in a 5.1 surround sound system. The bass is really not there. The sub adds substance but little else. The sub on my computer speakers are better and its half the size and cost me 70$ years ago. So NO earth shattering bass. Pros: Style, ease of use, good addition to a small room. great to finally be able to hear the audio out of my tv. Cons: Bass is minimal. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Kick's It Up A Notch Written By DJE, Raleigh, NC on Thursday, April 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you are looking to upgrade the sound quality from a flat screen without a lot of connections and "footprint", then this system will get the job done. If you are looking for room filling sound with "bone vibrating" bass--you will need to spend more $$. The wireless powered sub provides some deep accents but not much punch. The bar itself provides much better tonal voice reproduction with moderate mid-range support. Connections are super easy and if connecting to a Samsung, the "Anynet" feature works to integrate the system in one remote. Overall, not bad for the money. Pros: Easy connnections, small footprint, Samsung integration Cons: Weak Bass response, No cover grill on soundbar speakers. 18 out of 20 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 Inferior Product, Inept Support Written By Mike G, Copley, OH on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this to go with my Samsung PN51D6500 TV assuming that the inferface would be seamless. I was wrong. The Samsung TV has some very good audio controls, including a 5 band equalizer and more importantly a "True Dialogue" mode which emphasizes speech and drops everything else into the background. Even when the TV audio output is set to "TV speakers" this controlled output is not what goes to the sound bar. It gets the raw audio signal from the cable source. While this is technically a fault of the Samsung TV, the sound bar has no similar tuning features available. There are six "sound effect" modes available but nothing in the Samsung literature or website gives any indication of what these modes do and none of their tech support people had a clue about this or much of anything else. I spent the first 3 hours I owned this thing on the phone with various techies from Samsung but their TV people know nothing about sound bars and their sound bar people know nothing about TVs and none of them know how to get them to work together. It makes no sense whatsoever to build innovative features into the TV and design a sound bar which negates those features. On top of that I found the sound quality to be fair at best, only slightly better than the TV speakers. It basically offered nothing but volume. I returned this the next day in exchange for another brand. I am on the whole so unhappy with the experience that I will probably not deal with Samsung again Pros: I honestly have nothing good to say about this unit Cons: Lack of control features, poor sound quality, laughably bad tech support 16 out of 34 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Cons: None. 8 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Samsung HWE450 Written By HOPEA, Leesburg, FL on Friday, April 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought 2 for gifts. I was surprised at what a good, solid sound this had and how good the sub interacted with the bar for the price. The height of the bar fits nicely in front of the tv without taking tv area away and if a tv stand is limited space , it fits. Usually a sub has an id number to match with the bar, but it has a hole in the back that a paper clip or bic pens is inserted and removed to sync the sub with the bar. The remote works great, but the unit does not learning remote to a cable box or satellite. Not a big thing for some.3D effect is a nice feature. iT IS A SOLID SYSTEM, EASY TO USE AND THE SOUND IS VERY GOOD FOR A SMALL LIVING ROOM OR BEDROOM, but it lacks some sound depth for larger rooms or for those who like to adjust treble. Only the bass can be adjusted. For those who want a vast improvement over tv sound and live in apartments etc , it is a simple good budget system. mY GIVERS WERE PLEASED and I liked the thing for music and cinema effect and 3D effect. Pros: Size, sound, remote and price Cons: Samsung did not include 2 hdmi cables or optical cord, must buy.. Could be a deal braker for some. 22 out of 23 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience. Enjoy your music even more Go ahead, circle the parking lot till your favorite song is over. Polk Audio's DXi Series speakers will make you want to hit "repeat" so you can hear it all over again. Polk uses a high-tech approach and ideal materials to give your tunes an exciting new edge. Precision woofers showcase your music The DXi521 speakers feature 5-1/4" polymer composite cones that are lightweight and stiff, so they can create a big sound with minimal distortion. Polk analyzes their drivers in motion to ensure that cone movement is even and precise. Polk also uses laser imaging to craft woofer cones that are perfectly balanced to resist distortion-causing resonances. Aluminum dome tweeters broadcast detailed sound Each 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter brings out the high-frequency highlights in your music, so you'll hear every detail of your most enthralling musical moments. From an intensely quiet acoustic pluck to the most exhilarating electric solo, it'll be a very entertaining ride.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features High Efficiency Design: The Polk Audio DXi Series speakers feature a high efficiency design; meaning better sound and more volume using less power. Dynamic Balance Driver Technology: Dynamic Balance is a proprietary Polk Audio technology using laser imaging to determine what combination of speaker materials create the least amount of resonance. Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Klippel Optimized Components: For a driver to reproduce complex sounds accurately, the cone must move exactly the same distance and manner in both directions. The Klippel distortion analyzer, a device that uses a laser and sophisticated software to do large-scale analysis of drivers in motion, lets Polk optimize the speaker's motor structure, voice coil alignment, and suspension to yield the best possible performance. Composite Cones: Each speaker features a Dynamic Balance, Bi-Laminate composite, polypropylene cone woofer. These composite cones feature tremendous stiffness-to mass ratio, resulting in faster transients and finer detail. Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, the speaker uses rubber surrounds. Aluminum Dome Tweeters: Each speaker features a 3/4" aluminum dome tweeter for clear, accurate highs. Once the speakers are mounted, the tweeters can be tilted (approximately 25°) for optimum imaging.

Used these Polks to replace the rear door speakers in my Trailblazer SS. Easy to install with provided instructions, although by completely removing the speaker mounting panels underneath the door panels, you can trim the mounting much more cleanly with a sabre saw, rather than trying to break off the tabs (that interfere with installation) with pliers while still in the truck. The speakers are much less efficient than the stock factory Bose speakers, by about 30 percent, which is significant. They also have a much leaner bass and midrange response, but much cleaner highs. Pros: Cleaner, more brilliant highs. Cons: Much less efficient than the factory Bose speakers, less bass and midrange, so overall volume for the system is reduced. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Easy install nice sound Written By JLmTECH, Jackson NJ on Monday, October 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound. Matched them with existing Polk 6x9 in the rear deck They dropped right in to the existing OEM slots. I ent with tweeter in one unit. Did not replace the OEM tweeter in the Buick 6 speaker setup. Sound great. Pros: Great Sound, easy install Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio Speakers Written By Jay B., Southern Maryland on Thursday, October 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love the sound. Very easy to install and fits perfectly with my motorcycle. Pros: Did not have to splice any wires and come with a how to video if I needed it. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Great Speakers Written By Jim, New Paltz, NY on Wednesday, October 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers sound crisp and clear at low and high volumes Pros: Affordable, big improvement over factory speakers, easy to install instructions Cons: Nothing to do with the product, but be patient trying to install speakers above your head in a Jeep sound bar. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 2000 Jeep Wrangler Written By Justin, Denver, CO on Tuesday, September 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall this speaker was an improvement to the sound quality from the factory model but at 14 years old anything would have been. After being installed for one week I would say that I'm not 100% satisfied and question my purchase. I noticed the price drop over the last 6 months with these speakers and should have taken that as a warning sign. Pros: Improvement to the clarity. Crutchfield as always is great to work with and provides everything you need to make it work. Price Cons: Can not use the covers it comes with. Any type of bass seems washed out and dull. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Jeep Speaker Replacements Written By Rewards Card Reviewer, Key Largo, FL on Tuesday, September 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) All four 5.25"s swapped right into my 98 TJ, two dash and two soundbar. Crutchfield sent the appropriate wiring harnesses and 4x6 - 5.25" adapter for the dash; while nothing was needed for the soundbar, they sent two extra harnesses plus all hardware. Pros: Everything needed, plus some Competitive price Marine grade Cons: Polk grills didn't work out, but I don't like advertising anyway Top and doors are always off so I won't fully appreciate the sound Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good buy for the price Written By gunmetalRED, Toledo, OH on Friday, July 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to replace the blown front speakers in my '98 Buick Riviera and am quite happy with them. The materials and build quality felt very nice putting them in and they fit nice and flush under my factory grilles. They get nice and loud and remain clear even with my factory stereo. The bass response is OK, much better than other brands in this price range I have used, but I didn't expect them to be show-stoppers at this price. Great for highway cruising volume. I'll probably replace the rears with the matching 6"x9"s and I'm sure an aftermarket stereo would give them some nice punch. Great performance for a little money. Pros: Price, build quality, clarity Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 out of 5 Just As Bad as the DXi721 Written By CQLink, Detroit on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound muddy and dull. I installed an Alpine KTP-445U Head Unit Power Pack and it didn't help much. These are simply poor sounding speakers with virtually no bass response. Highs don't sound much better. Pros: None. Cons: Dull sound even with an amplifier. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Vulcan Vaquero gets an upgrade Written By chuck, TN on Tuesday, May 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These were recommended as a replacement for the factory speakers in my Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero. The clarity has improved a lot, next will be installing an Alpine 445 amp so they can truly reach their potential. Thanks Crutchfield Pros: Good clarity....Marine grade....awesome price Cons: None 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Polk Audio DXi521 Written By JonathaninRichmond, Richmond, Va on Sunday, April 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers fit my 2002 caravan great. There is a small clearance problem with the rear panel speakers which are just over the cup holders for the rear most bench. The center horn of the speaker is pressing against the plastic body panel, but we'll let time tell if that's a problem or not. The sound is great and installation was relatively simple. Pros: Sound quality, ease of installation Cons: Size - But that's only due to the vehicle I'm installing them on Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Speakers Written By Paul, Greencastle, IN on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sounds great for my needs Pros: Sounds great Cons: Grills did not fit my soundbar on Jeep Wrangler. Had to use old ones. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Polk Audio DXi521 speakers Written By Miike, Winston-Salem, NC on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very happy with the sound and ease of installation. The Crutchfield team was very helpful in my decision process. Pros: They sound better than the old speakers. Cons: I had to install said speakers myself, what a drag. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Good upgrade Written By Deggy, Deforest, WI on Thursday, November 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used these in the dash of my 2005 Jeep Wrangler. I had to find a special bracket to upgrade to this size (standard is 4" or 4x6). They sound great compared to stock. It powered by a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X797 CD Receiver. The upgrade in size is much better and gives better bass and treble response. Pros: Good value. Good sound. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Happy Customer Written By M.E. Best, Charleston, SC on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers compliment the Polk DXi 651 speakers I installed earlier< I am very happy with the Polk Audio products, I am certain that they will serve me very well for years to come. Pros: Compliments my other Polk Audio speakers with quality sound at a very competitive price. Cons: None. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Polk Audio DXi521 Written By TimH, Ketchum, ID on Friday, August 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice little set of speakers. Well built with solid grills. I installed them in my boat with the Kenwood KMR-355U receiver unit, and am enjoying the upgrade. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Nice Sound, worth the upgrade Written By Mack, Harrisonburg,Va on Saturday, July 27, 2013 Just purchased a 2012 Jeep Wrangler without the upgraded sound system. The stock speakers were lousy. I upgraded the speakers in the sound bar first. A week later I had to upgrade the speakers in the dash. I left the stock head unit. I put the Polk's in the front panels. Speakers sound great. No more muddy bass. The install took awhile, but that is because it is a Jeep. Sounds good with the stock head unit. Big, big difference. Pros: Sound great. Good overall sound. Cons: Difficult install in a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Not the speakers fault. -- Jeeps fault. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked are these speakers bi ampable? [ mr May 27, 2014 ] 2 answers I'm sure they could be modded to be biampable, but out of the box, no. [ TOM May 28, 2014 ] They only have one positive and negative connection on the back for the whole speaker... There isn't a separate connection for the tweeter. Not sure if that helps or not.

I hit that same wall each afternoon:-) Since Christmas I have been trying really hard to watch what I am eating too…not always the easiest when you bake nonstop!!! Thanks for the great list!
Thanks so much. I had forgotten about a lot of these (frozen grapes were my favorite in college!) I'm printing now
A new favorite at our house (even with my very picky husband) is Stacy's Pita Chips with tuna (made with a little mayo, a little homemade relish and mustard). So yummy!! Thanks for the great ideas!

Sometimes a big 'ol bowl of fruit is mouthwatering!! This looks delicious and I love the list.
Wow, some of these are really not healthy at all. Watch all the High Fructose Corn Syrup (for example: in the Yoplait yogurt and the cereals), watch the added sugars in the dried fruits and peanut butters and cereals, watch all the added salt in the crackers and chips (some have MSG), and 100 calorie snacks are NOT healthy (especially if you are eating those 100 calorie snack bags filled with cookies or chips) have you ever read the ingredients on those?!? Just because something is low calorie does NOT make it Healthy!
she said some werent as healthy did u read til the end of the post
great list!… I like pickles.
Thanks for putting all of these ideas in one place! Sometimes it is nice to have a quick reminder when it feels like I'm in a rut. I found you on Pinterest and I'm going to share this with my readers!
Thanks for the list. Sometimes having things written down is all the motivation you need. I'm definitely going to bookmark this page. Great job ladies!
Artifial sweeteners found in your "sugar-free" stuff is dangerous stuff. I'm doing my senior thesis about them and believe me, they are neither "healthy" for snaking, nor will change your waist line. Just so you know!! Read about them. (Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharin)
Many of these are great ideas, but you may not realize dried fruits and nuts (and nut butters) are very high in calories. And many of the items on your list may be low cal, but are not actually healthy for you. :/
I agree with Buckle My Shoe Mama… but going beyond that, my favorite snack other than roasted butternut squash and/or spaghetti squash is eating small tins of tuna/salmon/mackerel/sardines – super healthy yet if you get them in 3 or 2 ounce cans, low calorie and PERFECT snack size too!
Hi – found you on Pinterest b/c of this picture. Love your list. Hope it's okay if I share it on my blog.
I am following you now and if you'd like you can follow me too.

Amazing list, just what I needed on those days where my motivation has gone to sleep! Thanks
My go to crunchy snack…celery with salsa. It sounds strange but is really good! You get crunch from the celery and exciting flavor from the salsa.
Looking forward to giving these a try … been looking for some healthier things to put in my work lunch … I do have mid-nights and have been having a terrible time trying to find things that dont upset my stomach but yet are filling and healthy … Thank you
Thanks for sharing awesome list, they are perfectly excellent ideas healthy snacks list
I'm pretty new to the blog world and just found this on pinterest… I love it!
Looking forward to following your blog!
Thanks for sharing! This is an awesome list.
I thought I'd share about The Eatery here (www.eatery.massivehealth.com). It's an iPhone app that helps you to track how healthy you've been eating, and gives you the big picture breakdown of your eating habits, strengths, weaknesses and the best place to start making changes.
It's available for free on the App Store. Do try it out, we'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
Warmest regards,
Wow i like your Blogspot so much because it is talking about the healthy advices and i have too blog has health articles 2012 health symptoms, health definition, health articles, health magazine, men's health and kids health just follow us follow Articles4Health.Info
This is a great idea however I'm failing to understand how chemically altered food such as those that are low fat and sugar free are considered healthy. Especially when there are many things that are naturally low fat or low sugar. Just something to look into.
The Triscuit Thin Crisps you listed are actually loaded with sodium. It breaks my heart because I really liked them until I saw the sodium content. Regular Triscuits have much less sodium per serving. Just an FYI.
I really wish I hadn't seen this as I really want one now!
You have provided awesome healthy snack ideas. This is a good post, which features worthwhile information about healthy snack ideas. Thanks!

Wow. This is a brilliant idea. I think it has been people's habit to just eat and not consider how healthy the food they're eating is. You have made us more aware and understanding about being healthy. These are really motivating. I'm sure many would be properly reminded and be encouraged to embrace healthy eating habits. The list contains delicious food and they'll surely enjoy this vigorous habit.
Thanks for sharing information..

This is a great list! I've been looking for a long list of snack ideas for a while. Seriously, all the others are just the same 5 things over and over!
I've recently fell in love with Fruti bars. They're frozen fruit bars made with real chunks of fruit instead of fillers and are under 100 for some flavors. They say it's eating one serving of fruit too on their website. You can look at the ingredients on their website at http://www.nfc-fruti.com!
These are great ideas. I love some of these other healthy snack recipes. Check them out http://dbbefloydwfn2l809nv4f8ye3a.hop.clickbank.net/

Sisters, if you are looking for a seriously health snack food, one that is probably the healthiest 'single source' snack food you can buy, then check out Tiger Nuts at http://www.tigernutsusa.com
As of today, they are still the best kept secret in the health snack marketplace!
Try these snacks good for you and good tasting!
Awesome list. Hummus recipes make great snacks as well. One of my favorites is http://hummusrecipes.net/black-bean-hummus/
Stop bashing this list!!
Was looking for some ideas for healthy snacks. This is great. Especially for college students. And you can tweak the list as you like. Love, love, love.
This is a great list of suggestions.
But portion control is the biggest issue if you are dieting…. you can eat any of these foods, but need to be careful of not overdoing it.
This cookbook is great! You should check it out!
