Subject: 7yo Missing From Home

From the San Diego Union-Tribune:
7-year-old was last seen at home in Sabre Springs
By Brian Hazle
A 7-year-old Sabre Springs girl disappeared yesterday and police are unsure
whether she wandered off or was abducted.
Brenda and Damon van Dam told police their daughter, Danielle, went to bed
about 10:30 p.m. Friday, and they discovered she was missing about 9 a.m.
yesterday. The family lives on Mountain Pass Road in the Sabre Springs
neighborhood of San Diego near the Poway city limits.
Police said they found no sign anyone broke into the home, but did find both a
garage door and side gate leading to the back yard open.
Frantic neighbors spent much of the day searching a nearby canyon and posting
fliers with Danielle's picture throughout the neighborhood, but found no sign
of the girl.
Police used helicopters and dogs to search the area just north of Scripps Poway
Parkway and Springbrook Drive, but turned up no clues, police spokesman David
Cohen said.
Police are treating the area as a crime scene, and the search continued last
night. The van Dams and their two other children said they did not hear any
unusual noises during the night.
"We will be here presumably until we can do no more good," Cohen said. "She's
missing and we have no good reason for why she's missing."
Danielle was last seen wearing blue pajamas with flowers on them. She is white,
about 4-feet, 8-inches tall and weighs roughly 58 pounds, police said. She has
blond hair and blue eyes. Anyone with information about the case is asked to
call the San Diego Police Department at (619) 531-2000.
The parents told police that on Friday night, Damon van Dam put Danielle and
her two brothers to bed about 10:30 p.m. The boys, 5 and 9 years old, sleep in
a separate bedroom, said Liz Brady , a close family friend.
Brenda van Dam left the home about 9 p.m. Friday to go out with friends, while
her husband stayed home with the children. She told police that she returned
about 2 a.m. and ate pizza with the friends and her husband until 3 a.m.
Before they went to bed, they noticed red lights blinking on a burglar alarm
panel, and discovered a sliding glass door at the back of the house and a side
garage door were open.
The alarm did not sound, and the couple closed the doors and went to bed. They
did not check on the children before they retired, Cohen said.
They discovered the girl was missing when a neighborhood friend of Danielle's
came to the home to play with her about 9 a.m. Her parents said Danielle was
still sleeping and went to wake her up, but she was gone.
Residents of the area said the neighborhood of newer two-story tract homes is
normally quiet and has little crime.
"You think you live in a safe neighborhood and you wake up one day and your
daughter is gone," Brenda van Dam said through tears. "I just want her back in
my arms."

I'm building some surround speakers for placement in the ceiling. The
driver specs show improved bass response as the sealed enclosure get's
larger. (But they are only 3" full ranges.) I'm thinking of using an
infinite baffle (i.e. the ceiling space). Will this give the best bass
response? Or do I build an enclosure and hide it in the ceiling?
Also, I'm using offset bass tweeter pairs in each box. Like a V with one
bass/tweerer pair on one side and one bass/tweeter pair on the other.
The V will not hand down from the ceiling but instead point the speakers
at the back wall at an angle to each other; then the speakers will also
be angled downward.
Sitting in the seat, facing the front of the room, leaning back and
looking up at the celing from the listening position:
--------------------------------------------back wall
/\ /\
/ \ / \
/O O\ /O O\ O = woofer
/o /\ o\ /o /\ o\ o = tweeter
/__/ \__\ /__/ \__\
(I'm planning to make the angle of each V about 120 to 135deg instead of
the 75 depicted here. i.e. flatten out the V)
At what separation angle will adding a bipolar/dipolar switch make a
difference in the sound? Will this arrangement sound like crap?
Also the listening position is nearly on the back wall - and the back
wall will be nearly completly made of funky shutters instead of drywall
(No, the position and room factors cannot be changed:-)
Please email as I'd like to talk to anyone with speaker building
experience...
thanks,
Damon

How about one of you all American car enthusiasts/SYS-OPs start up a news

sending their money overseas, and loves real muscle cars.
