The German Toy Road, a themed route with a totally adorable subject and a long tradition, runs for some 300km between Nuremberg and Waltershausen. But visitors take note: a trip down the German Toy Road is also a trip back to your childhood.
Head off with your kids on the journey of their dreams and meet lots of new friends along the way. Every day is a new adventure – don't just sit there, come along and join in the fun. There are all sorts of toys in all shapes and sizes: at factories, display rooms, model railways, teddy bear workshops, doll manufacturers, museums and adventure parks – and the Playmobil Funpark in Zirndorf is an absolute must for kids. It's a great way to experience a rich cultural heritage across some 30 towns and districts, and there are plenty of workshops and trading houses where collectors and enthusiasts can snap up showpiece items. At the doll's hospital, visitors can see how doctors make an old 'unbreakable Lisa dolly' better again, or watch the teddy doctor spruce up teddies that have seen better days. For those interested in how toys are made on an industrial scale, a trip to a toy factory is an illuminating experience. The larger toy factories also often have factory outlets: a great opportunity for picking up a few bargains and buying toys at discount prices. So what are you waiting for? Let's go and play.

Mass. man sues marina over burned feet

Dutch cycle-path. Four metres wide and well away from the road. In this case used by school children. |
Now the Germans have joined in too !
The Fietsberaad reports that...
Dutch cycle-path. Four metres wide and taking a completely different route to the road. It's good enough for racing cyclists and it's good enough for you too. |
The main argument in the German report is that cycling in the Netherlands is dangerous as 40% of all traffic accidents involve cyclists, whereas these only account for 27% of all travel. And this in spite of the number of bike paths. In Germany, on the other hand, there are fewer bike paths, as well as lower numbers of bicycle accidents in relation to the percentage of travel by bicycle. Conclusion: bike paths are dangerous. This conclusion about the (supposed) danger of separate bike paths in the Netherlands is however by no means well-founded or warranted.
As a matter of fact in the Netherlands cyclists are victims of traffic accidents in not 40% but even 50% of all cases, data provided by Fietsberaad demonstrate. But the percentages and statistics of CBS/Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Managements do not at first glance reveal that the overwhelming majority of these casualties are caused by unilateral accidents. A study by SWOV concluded that 80% of all bicycle accidents consists of unilateral accidents and accidents among cyclists. Moreover, this percentage is increasing. A mere 20% of all accidents involving cyclists concerns motorised vehicles, and numbers are falling steadily. The ADFC article emphasises accidents with motorised vehicles, whereas the main problem in the Netherlands consists of these unilateral accidents, instead of collisions with other vehicles, for example cyclists colliding with bollards.
Dutch cycle-path. Secondary route. Three metres wide, parallel with "busy" road. Part of a dense grid of high quality cycle-routes which go everywhere. |
And finally, improved safety by separation of traffic has by now been conclusively proven in the Netherlands. See for instance the fact sheet 'Kwetsbare verkeersdeelnemers' by SWOV (July 2009). This argues in favour of a complete separation of traffic participants with large differences in mass and speed. After all, in serious bilateral conflicts between for instance a car and a cyclist the inequality ratio is huge: 126. This means that in these types of conflicts the number of cyclists injured is 126 times higher than the number of motorists, seeing as people are well-protected in their cars and run relatively little risk at low speeds. In accidents involving cyclists and pedestrians the inequality ratio is a mere 1.7. In accidents involving two cyclists the ratio is of course 1. For the safety of cyclists it is therefore better to separate them from motor vehicles by providing separate bike paths.
Dutch cycle-path. Four metres wide in quiet residential area |
You may also be interested in the concept of Sustainable safety which has lead to a continuing increase in safety in the Netherlands.
I have made a video comparing Dutch and German cycle paths.
The photos show four of the many different cycle paths within a few hundred metres of our home in Assen, with different types of cyclists using them to cycle with a remarkable degree of safety compared with elsewhere. It's impossible to over-state the importance of a high density grid of extremely high quality infrastructure.

Those who live and work near Selby Five Points Park say that crime has been reduced and that transients are virtually non-existent since the city removed six benches from the park three months ago.
Sarasota Police Capt. Paul Sutton backs up the crime-drop claims.
From July 1, 2010, through Sept. 30, 2010, Sutton said the department received 16 calls related to the park. In the same time period in 2011, the department received three calls. And, the overall police district that the park sits in received 67 calls from July 1, 2010, through Sept. 30, 2010, compared to 39 calls in the same time period for 2011. There were also 19 arrests made in that district during the 2010 timeframe, compared to 12 arrests for the same period in 2011.
"However, you want to measure it, crime is down in that area," Sutton said.
The bench-removal decision was made after residents complained that the benches attracted transients and panhandlers and allowed them to congregate, which intimidates some citizens and tourists.
But the city is planning on revisiting its decision.
City staff will approach the Sarasota City Commission in early December at the earliest and ask commissioners whether they want to place benches back in the park. The three-month trial period will have ended by that time.
But the question that really needs to be asked, according to Peter Fanning, president of the Downtown Sarasota Condominium Association, is what the city would do differently if the benches were to be returned.
"There's no denying that our association has voiced support of bringing the benches back in after three months," Fanning said.
But Fanning said that, as of now, he and his association don't support the return of the benches at this time.
"We have since taken the position of supporting the residents' desire to refrain from putting the benches back in at this time," Fanning said. "Safety, security and cleanliness has much improved in the area, and we feel that needs to be maintained until a permanent solution can be reached."
Fanning suggests the city draft an ordinance that addresses homeless feedings and has agreed to work with the Rev. Thomas Pfaff, who is working with all parties to reach an amicable solution. Pfaff plans to present his plan to the commission some time early next year.
But the homeless issue isn't the only problem, according to Fanning and others.
"We need enforcement mechanisms to actually be consistent and enforced," said Fanning, who believes the city needs to enforce its no-camping ordinance. "We are trying to work out a situation where we can get both sides to agree on something."
But downtown residents Frank Brenner and Phil Grande believe there's nothing to work out.
Brenner addressed the Downtown Sarasota Alliance at its Oct. 5 meeting, only to be cut off before he could finish reading a three-page prepared statement.
The statement, entitled "An Appeal to Reason," said a solution has already been found.
"The effect (of the benches' removable) is visible, dramatic and undeniable," said Brenner, who has circulated a petition of downtown Central Avenue residents, which includes 134 signatures in support of the removal of the benches. "It's been a 100% turnaround, and I urge that the benches under no circumstances be returned to Five Points Park."
Resident and radio host Grande agrees.
"The question everyone needs to ask is whether the downtown area is better now than it was when the benches were installed there," Grande said. "There's no question that if you poll the residents and business owners of the downtown area, which are directly affected, the answer would be a resounding yes."
The Sarasota Observer contacted eight business owners near Selby Five Points Park, and all agreed with Brenner and Grande's assessment.
Eileen Wallace, owner of Write On and More, said the transients are not prevalent in the area.
"It's been calmer and my customers feel much safer," Wallace said. "I am definitely looking much more forward to this season without the hassles."
Gerrie Heibel, owner of Envie, said the situation was "99% better."
"Both my customers and my employees were being harassed this time last year by the homeless," Heibel said. "Customers who previously told me they were afraid of the area are now strolling the streets at night."
The merchants on First Street, in fact, were so confident in what they perceive as a transformed area that they agreed to stay open for the first time for last week's Downtown Sarasota Alliance First Friday evening event.
"We are so pleased with this street and the activity we have now," Heibel said.
City Manager Bob Bartolotta, who will present the issue to the commission again for its discussion, said he wants a discussion to take place before benches are considered again.
"I can see there has been a notable difference in the Five Points Park area," Bartolotta said.

- The way i see it, when you stuff the ballot box you usually get the results you want....Prior to removing the benches...Condo residents would call for anyone they didnt like being in the park...they could just be sitting there and they call...the results would be an Officer responding and generating a case number......but the case number is just record keeping it doesn say what really happend..a majority of those reports had no finding...nothing happend,,,no problem...but it still gets counted as a call to that area....Now you take away the benches and the calls drop the results is,,less case numbers showing up for Capt Sutton to count....the translation by SPD----crime went down the real story-----nothing changed...5 points is still the most expensive "dog park" in the county..YES dog park,,there the only ones who can use it !
- 3.
- Does the City of Sarasota want to have the look and feel of a deed restricted, gated community, or does it want to be a city? Cities are hubs of human diversity--diverse humans creating diverse experiences and seeking commonality. Cities make noise. Sometimes they look good, other times they smell bad. Business lunchers and tourists sit in the same parks as "undesireables." If the City of Sarasota does not want that, then it can come up with some civic motion to change its definition, put up gates and be done with this nonsense.
Benches are not the problem, people are. Yes, people. Real human beings with problems for which our society does not have solutions and/or for which the subject humans do not want solutions.
Downtown business owners, your business is in the heart of an almost-urban city that intends to grow, and grow well. Did you expect the homeless and vagrants that were there when you set up shop to go away when you opened? Did you not notice or ask? Did you not look at the crime statistics you are now quoting to support your "removing benches cures homelessness" position? Did you really expect the City of Sarasota to be the only city on the planet without poor people or even (gasp!) a homeless problem?"
Downtown residents, take your Noise Ordinance victory and be quiet. Like downtown business owners, you chose to be where you are. If any of you did not look, think or ask before you made your decision, do not blame vagrants or outdoor furniture for the outcome of your decisions. Constant complaining exacerbates the problem. Grow up or move on.
I have long described Sarasota as "almost urban." I don't want Sarasota to evolve into some over-manicured, over-palmed hamlet of social and economic purity. While I despair that Sarasota continues to rank as one of the most highly segregated cities in the country, I see the potential for communities of commonality that are respected, celebrated, and shared.
I believe it is a city on the cusp of greatness—we have a wealth of knowledge, experience and creativity that we have not begun to tap. I believe we have the potential to re-define urban, and become one of the truly great cities on our planet.
Before we get there, some in our community need help. It may not be the help we think they need or want. If you listen, they'll tell you what they need. Others in our community can and do help. Others simply want a great environment for their chosen business. Let's quit blaming the benches and get to work with—and for—each other.

- I am one of the old farts that lives opposite 5 Points Park. I agree a park needs benches however not when you can;t enjoy the park. I see people coming to the park to have lunch on a blanket. That never happened before with the vagrants all over the park. I see tournists walking through the park. I have never seen them there before. I myself feel free to strool in the park. I never was able to before. Maybe we should put the benches in your back yard. People or tax payers that want benches can go to the park around Marina Jacks. Why all of a sudden are these people coming of the woodwork. Where were they when the benches were there. I would like to know how much time they spent there. Fae Beloff

- Seems obvious to me - put the benches back in the park & meter them!
- 6.
- As a city, I want to be able to use the park and have a place to sit. My tax dollars pay for the parks. Its too bad that a few crabby on "deaths doorstep" old farts control what the majority of people need or want. This park is for the majority of people that want to enjoy living in this area and to take away the benefits to solve a small problem that a few cause, hurts the many that want to continue to enjoy this wonderful community.
- 7.
- It is problematic that a park can't have *PARK* benches. If this keeps up, the government might have to provide a special place for the mentally ill like they used to before they pushed them off onto the community.
Don't worry. There are still plenty of Nurse Ratcheds.

- If everything has gone so well, why is the Commission revisiting the bench issue???

I just got my new bag today and I love it. I got it in the blush color and it is darker then it looks in the picture. The leather is so soft. Great purchase great price.
Wednesday September 3 2014
I have been looking for a handbag that I can carry with basically everything and yet was not too large or heavy. I liked the silver lake cross body bag as soon as I saw it. I ordered it and it arrived today. I love it so much . Just what I was looking for .I will now do away with several handbags that I really do not like and are either too big, too small, or just too stiff. This bag is soft and roomy, and just the right size
Wednesday March 19 2014
I love this bag! The leather is butter soft. Lots of space and wonderfully put together. This is my first Sak purchase and I plan to be back for more... where have you been all my life?! Shipping was quick and service is fabulous.

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448Good point but I was using the term "compliant" to mean "responsive through a wide range of conditions". This is not the same as "soft". I guess a better definition of a "compliant" shock, in terms of upgrading from OEM, would be "more sophisticated response".
So it's more like "agrees with the condition it is working under".MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
civicgirl13 Posts: 5I bought a 1995 Civic just a couple months ago. Just recently, the brakes on the car became very spongy. The brake pads are still in excellent condition still. I bought 4 calipers, a brake booster box, and a new master cylinder. My boyfriend and I bled the new master cylinder before we put it on the car. When we bled the brakes on the car, while off, the brakes were nice and firm. When I turned the car on to take it for a test drive, the brakes went straight to the floor with no resistance. My boyfriend got in the car to see if he could feel anything different, and pumped the brakes the 3 times. The brakes firmed for a few seconds, but then lost all firmness. All we have left is the proportion valve and brake lines that we haven't fixed. The car whines like a dying animal when the brakes are being applied. We cannot find any air leakage, but can hear what sounds like air escaping. We also checked under the car for any brake fluid that could be leaking from a broken line, but couldn't find anything. Is there anyone who can suggest something I can try doing? I am starting to run out of options and I don't know what to do. I would be very appreciative of any help I can get!
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448I'd say a power bleeder is in order. Also I don't see how you could effectively bleed the master when it's off the car.
The booster should not affect the pedal in that way. If the booster fails, you'd get a pedal that is very hard, not soft.
The only way a booster could do this is if it sucks all the brake fluid out of the master cylinder and burns it (through a vacuum diaphragm leak).MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!

Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448
civicgirl13 Posts: 5Bleeding the master cylinder prior to installing it is called bench bleeding. This is what the instructions with the new cylinder said to do.
It wasn't me who modified the car, it was that way when I purchased it. The car originally had abs, but when they installed a different motor, etc.., the car now does not have abs. Could this have anything to do with the issues I am having? -
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448Gee I dunno. Which car does the master cylinder belong to. Did you buy one for an Acura or a Civic?
I think what I would do if I were you is bleed the master in place by removing all the lines and plugging the holes with the right metric or ISO brass plugs.
Once it is bleed, at least you know THAT'S right.
As for what else can cause the pedal to drop all the way----maybe the wrong thickness of rotor, the wrong pads, etc--what i'm driving at here is that the caliper pistons, or rear wheel cylinders, are extending out too far.MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
civicgirl13 Posts: 5The master cylinder is for an Acura, the one for the Civic is a totally different one. Ok, question, if the caliper pistons, or rear wheel cylinders, are extending out too far, why are the brakes hard when the car is not turned on? Is this something that is normal, and I have just never noticed it?
Mr_Shiftright CaliforniaPosts: 46,448
civicgirl13 Posts: 5This is what I put in my first post:When we bled the brakes on the car, while off, the brakes were nice and firm. When I turned the car on to take it for a test drive, the brakes went straight to the floor with no resistance.
What I meant was, if it wasn't clear, is that when the car is off, the brakes were nice & firm, and when I started it, the brakes go straight to the floor. So yes to what you asked. -

kagedude Posts: 407Hi, picked up my 2010 Honda Civic LX-S auto yesterday and the first thing that I noticed was that the brakes does not feel responsive enough. Is this by design for this generation? Coming from a 2007 Honda Fit Sport and my wife's Mazda 3i touring where I can gauge how the car stops, the Civic feels like it slows to a stop even when I am already pressing hard on the brakes. It reminds me of our 1998 CRV and 1988 Mitsubishi Van. Both heavy cars that takes a while to come to a complete stop. Why does the Civic feel the same way? :confuse:
kagedude Posts: 407I agree. Speaking of antiquated rear drum brakes, I noticed the cover on mine for both sides are already rusty. I understand that it can get rusty over time but it rusted up after a few months. Its an eye sore at this point (shiny silver alloys with a bright red rusty background) but its not affecting driveability.
Any Honda Civic LX-S owners that can confirm if this is normal? -
ruking1 Posts: 15,465It is absolutely very normal. It can also get rusty in a day or even less. I take it by "cover" you mean the brake drum, facing you as you look at it. I do not have a Civic LX-S.
However, the 04 Civic VP sedan has REAR drum brakes. They have black "steelies" wheels and an intergrated (with the lug nuts) silver plastic painted wheel cover: so appearance iis not @ issue.
Now if you have other than stock oem "sized" alloys, that might present some unseen and unknown issues. -
ruking1 Posts: 15,465Really, the issue of the brake's "responsiveness" is in a way subjective and one of managing expectations. Now if they felt radically different between YOUR new 2010 Honda Civic LX-S and another 2010 Honda Civic LX-S, then that might bear further analysis.
To expect them to feel EXACTLY like your Honda Fit Sport and/or Mazda 3i touring, might be an exercise in unrealistic expectations. There are literally a host of reasons why/why not. There are also a lot of reason's for the rear drum brakes. Durability (in the rear stopping application) seems to be one of them. They (seem to) do last app 2 times longer than the fronts which are disc/pads. In addition, there are indications REAR PADS/ROTORS might even wear FASTER (than the front rotors and pads) by a factor of 2 TIMES, for a delta of up to 4 times !!!! The "English" translation (in my case) would be rear pads lasting 20,000 to 50,000 vs the 200,000-240,000 miles projected.
So for example, I just had a front brake job done. The front pads and rotors lasted 117,946 miles. I went with OEM brake pads and OE SPECIFICATION front rotors (Brembo). No aftermarket vendor has stepped up and claimed their product will last miles to percentages GREATER than oem pads. OEM rotors are much costlier (48%). If the OEM pads are only going to last 117,946 miles, I decided to get a good quality, yet $ CHEAPER replacement rotors. My hope and expectation are this 2nd set of pads/rotors last @ least 150,000 miles as the oem set had a lube issue on one side of the caliper which caused the inside right side pad to wear a shade quicker. One to all of the other three drivers did not catch this in time to save the one front oem rotor. While I would have prefered to REuse the oem rotors (if it met all conditions), using the rotors a second cycle (in my case 120,000+ miles est) can be done if you know the drill, accept the gambit of risks and is situational. In my case, the rotors COULD have been used, (if we had caught the lubrication issue earlier) but going 150,000 miles MORE miles (270,000 miles total) on the new set of pads MAY have exceeded rotor limit specifications. If it does and you do not know and/or monitor it, ...IT is NOT a good thing.
The rear shoes and drums were measured and inspected and pronounced good to go for @ least another 100,000 miles, or to 220,000 miles. At that time, the most likely failure will be a brake cylinder seal leak. In which case, a $5. rebuild kit and brake cleaner will probably make @ least the drum reuseable. Shoes will likely need to be replaced. -
kagedude Posts: 407It is absolutely very normal. It can also get rusty in a day or even less. I take it by "cover" you mean the brake drum, facing you as you look at it. I do not have a Civic LX-S.
Thanks for confirming! I finally saw another Honda Civic LX-S yesterday and the brake drum cover (visible side) is also rusty red. -
kagedude Posts: 407To expect them to feel EXACTLY like your Honda Fit Sport and/or Mazda 3i touring, might be an exercise in unrealistic expectations.
Oh no, I have no expectations that it should be the same as my previous '07 Honda Fit Sport but more a comparison/observation. The 2010 Honda Civic LX-S brakes and even my dad's 2009 Honda Civic LX "brake feel" felt like a minivan specifically like the ones we owned (Mitsubishi Van LS and Toyota Van LE). When you step on the brakes even in emergency situations, it "feels" hard and "feels" like its not responding in conjuction to your foot depressing on the brake pedal or not stopping fast enough as you perceive you think it should. Its definitely an adaptation issue and I've since learned to adjust and have no issues with it today.
The funny part is the Mazda 3i (my wife's car) felt the most responsive but checking Edmunds' road test results, the 2007 Honda Fit Sport comes on top with 60-0 of 123.61 feet, the 2008 Civic LX comes 2nd with 128 feet and the 2010 Mazda 3i Touring with 135 feet.

Here is an example of what Im talking about. (And of course, Im going to use one of Bleedman's pieces of work and mine pieces of crap.)
Mine: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11637249/
Bleedman: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/12758728/
What do you think is the difference?
Well let me tell you, as you can see my art is looking a bit crappy. Why? Alot of reasons. But one big reason that is getting on my nerves is my lines on the drawing. If you dont know what lines I am talking about, here is a example:
Mine: http://img121.exs.cx/img121/9018/85-Example1.jpg
In this picture is the same as the top picture but a close up on his hair.
Bleedman: http://img121.exs.cx/img121/3866/d0-Example2.jpg
In this picture is a piece of the hair of MiniMandy.
See the difference? I have been playing with P-Shop for days and I still cant figure this out. I need some serious help. And I know what are think Aresz. (Why is this kid still talking about this!)

by Woody Sherman Genuine triple threat It's pretty easy for the Peachtree novaPre to make your "gotta have it" list if you've been an audiophile for any period of time. With Peachtree's meticulous attention to build quality and clean design lines, their products always turn heads. But the novaPre has the uncommon distinction of being three popular products in one — and they're three products made for the digital age in which we live. The Peachtree novaPre is designed for today's music sources It's a world-class DAC The novaPre is a high-end digital to analog converter (DAC). The USB input is asynchronous, so your computer audio files will be decoupled from the timing errors that often accompany them, and reclocked on their way to the heart of the digital-to analog conversion process, the novaPre's built-in ESS Sabre DAC. The ESS Sabre 9023 DAC is recognized as being among the world's best, and the novaPre's circuitry has been consciously designed around the needs and strengths of this chip. Your digital files will be faithfully converted to a pristine analog signal that holds true to the artist's original sonic intention. And there won't be any reason to worry about contamination from outside electrical anomalies. All digital inputs (1 USB, 1 optical, 2 coax) that have a path to ground are galvanically isolated, so there's no means for electrical noise from power supplies or processors to affect the signal path downstream. It's a hybrid tube buffer The novaPre is prepared for today's compressed streaming music sources, with an on-board tube buffer that helps to smooth the harsh waveforms that can be present on lower-quality compression. It can be switched on or off from the remote control, depending on your personal preference. A headphone amp, too Lastly, the novaPre functions as an audiophile-quality headphone amp, for times when you want to feed your favorite set of headphones. And, as above, the tube buffer can be switched in or out to accommodate your source material, even when your listening is private. The novaPre pairs beautifully with Peachtree's elegant power amplifier, the Peachtree 220. Product Highlights:24-bit/192kHz USB input accepts 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, and 192kHz sampling ratesasynchronous USB Input allows the clock inside the novaPre to control the timing of the bitstream before passing the signal to the on-board ESS Sabre ES9023 DACswitchable stereo triode 6N1P hybrid tube buffer design smoothes harsh digital edges from compressed sourcesgalvanic isolation eliminates noise generated by switching power supplies in source components, greatly improving the sound qualitybuilt-in high-performance headphone amplifier lets you engage or disengage tube stageS/N: 96dbjitter measured at the master clock: < 3 picosecondspower supply: 8,700 microfarads of filteringstereo separation: 94dB4 digital inputs: 1 USB (Type B), 2 coaxial, 1 optical1 analog aux RCA stereo input2 full-bandwidth RCA pre outputsdetachable power cordweight: 15.89 lbs.14-13/16"W x 4-15/16"H x 14-1/4"Dwarranty: 2 years parts and labor, 6 months for tubesOur 60-day money-back guarantee
Must have product for digital libraries Written By Joe, Cleveland on Sunday, October 12, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great all around preamp and DAC. Particularly strong at bringing out the best in compressed music from iTunes. Two preouts allow a subwoofer and an analogue aux input allows traditional source hookups. If you're running all digital sources skip the analogue preamp and go straight to this. Pros: Very clear, clean sound that makes an immediate improvement over an integrated amp. Cons: No tone controls, but that may also contribute to the clear signal.
Absolute best bang for the buck Written By Jonathan, Buffalo,mo on Monday, February 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love this product. The peachtree nova pre coupled with the 220 is more power then I need at a price I can afford. Shop around people, but at the end of the day your coming back to peachtree! This unit delivers clear crisp tone at any volume with little to no distortion. I was skeptical at first at a product that was thousands less than its competition but very pleased with it. And Crutchfield has been very helpful as well with knowledgable staff that were easy to deal with and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks guys! Pros: Clear as a bell at any volume, crisp tone, ample hard hitting bass Cons: Hard to hook to digital devices that don't support the drivers.
An Amazing Preamp For Us Digital Folk Written By Dave Z, Rockland County, NY on Wednesday, September 04, 2013 If you're largely digital like me, there doesn't seem to be many good quality preamps with enough digital inputs out there. The novaPre allows me to connect my Mac mini audio server, Marantz CD5004, and Marantz NA7004 network media player, and still leave room for future expansion with USB and analog RCA connections. The preamp works very nicely with my Marantz MM7025, which powers a pair of MartinLogan ElectroMotion ESL speakers. Dead quiet when cranked up. Two sets of outputs (for the amp and subwoofer) are welcome, but I don't know the difference between "class A" and "op amp" and have no clue if I'm utilizing them correctly. There is no LFE output option. Build quality is excellent and it has a stylish look. It does stand out from all the all-black components on a black stereo rack -- not sure if that's good or not. Also, speaking of looks, the window showing the vacuum tube looks cool, but I honestly hear no difference when the tube is bypassed. Perhaps my ears aren't good enough. Pros: Sounds great, accommodates all my equipment, good sounding DAC. Cons: Value of tube is questionable.
Fascinating Written By Chatte, Birmingham AL on Sunday, March 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A novice to sophisticated audio devices but not to good music, this device brings my varied collection of diverse genres to life in a way I have not experienced for 33 years. Paired with the Peachtree 220 and Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 65s and ProSub1000s, this is truly a beautiful experience. Pros: Exceptional performance Cons: I miss the tone controls. I miss the balance control. I have a cassette deck and a phono turntable and I miss a set of extra line in inputs. But this is trivial when compared to the overall performance and the price.
Output voltage, input sensitivity and all that jazz Written By CMOT, Pittsburgh PA on Saturday, January 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First of all, given my listening modes, a preamp + DAC made sense. I compared several. However, it turns out that a rarely discussed issue - output voltage of the preamp and input sensitivity of the amp - make all the difference in how things will sound together. Although many standard preamps have reasonably high output voltages, most preamps + DACs do not - seems that they typically take a good DAC plus good headphone amp and figure out how to get a few volts out of the RCA outputs as well. The Peachtree is different. It provides a very significant gain boost in the preamp stage (I think something like 7V output through the RCAs). Whatever it is, it was the only preamp + DAC that didn't sound thin with little in the way of dynamics. That is, it can drive my amp quite nicely while the others couldn't - my amp has a low sensitivity (meaning it expects a high voltage - at least nominally 2.5 V). So it sounds great with the Peachtree (interestingly I have seen a few for sale, the reason for the sale being that they provided too much gain for their amp - probably an amp with a more typical high sensitivity of around 1 V). I like the basic simplicity of the thing as well and it definitely improved the sound from my CD player relative to the lower-quality DAC the CD player uses. My only "issue" is that I have been listening carefully and I have pretty good ears I think, yet I can't hear *any* difference with the tube in or out. The second set of op-amp driven RCA is also confusing Pros: Good sound, lots of gain, simple, clear controls Cons: Tube needed or for show? Two sets of outputs, one Class A, one op-amp driven. Why? More should be said. Silver face only.
Excellent Written By Tom, Catlettsburg, KY on Saturday, October 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent. Paired with a Marantz MM7025 2 channel amp and a pair of B&W 683s. Dead quiet to control chaos depending on the track. Using computer USB, Digital coaxial from CD player and Optical from an Apple Airport Express to stream. All sources have excellent sound quality. Would be the same combo again.

Ugh. I just like to keep my anime and porn separate. Well, okay, that's not entirely true, but I prefer fan-service to waif-u!/harem pandering. Fan-service doesn't actually affect the plot, whereas something like SAO revolves around sexual wish-fulfillment for the male readers.

This is a small film thats very underrated and deserves to be seen, the picture quality is awesome on bluray.
5 Thrill a minuteViking11 | 05/01/2012 | See all Viking11's reviews (41)Talk about edge of your seat,wow ! this is one hell of a British thriller,thouroughly enjoyed every minute,with some great acting,and very tense moments throughout,highly recommended.

1 brit shockerDuncanEdwards | 03/01/2012 | See all DuncanEdwards's reviews (153)terrible movie. bad acting anf funny script for all the wrong reasons. all very strange and no excitement. really disappointed with this as the trailer looked great.
5 GREAT IDEA FOR A THRILLERHONESTBAZ | 21/05/2013 | See all HONESTBAZ's reviews (299)Top 100 Music Reviewer This tense thriller takes a while to get to the crux of the story,but it is interesting enough getting to it,as we get to know the characters and there's a bit of tense action to start off.When these mountain climbers find a girl,just about alive down in a very small space with a little water and a breathing pipe,they soon work it it has to be for money and they have to rescue her,get her to safety. Easier said than done.The girl's rescuers soon find themselves on the hunt from her capturers and the action really starts.There are a lot of nasty falls and incidents to get you wincing and the action is done just right for my liking. Okay,it's over the top,so what? it's entertaining.The acting is great,as you would expect from Melissa George,the rest of the cast is good too.So a decent thriller with a great idea,played out well,with plenty of action,i was left satisfied.

India Coffee Bonanza!
Sort of. Basically, we found these new, unique India lots and they call showed up on our doorstep at one time! First off is one of the oddest, most-confounding coffees I have ever tasted! It's a rare coffee, certainly a unique experience, but you had better read the review before you take a risk on this one! It's called India Anohki Coffee, and it is a totally different species from arabica; coffea liberica. The flavors range from blueberry to barnyard: You've been warned! Next to the Anohki, the India Baba Budan - Mandelkhan Estate seems like a wall-flower of a coffee, but it's a classic India from a very high altitude estate. More rustic and wild is the India Mallali Estate "Tree-Dried Natural." Just as it says, this is not processed on a patio or mechanical dryer ... it is allowed to fully dry on the tree, and the cup has intense heavy body, fruit and chocolate. And we have a specially-selected robusta that is actually quite sweet, outstanding for your espresso blends: India Robusta - Sethuraman Estate Nirali.

On August 2, 2012, Stiletto Media, the sister company of Latina On a Mission, hosted a Latina Blogger event called "Kick Off Your Heels '12 – Estilo Latina". The event, sponsored by Avocados from Mexico, HP for Home, COVERGIRL, Sweet Pickles eBooks and Glitter Tattoo NY, brought together Latina Bloggers from all over the United States.
Held at Pio Pio, a Peruvian Restaurant in New York City, bloggers had an opportunity to learn about the brands, mingle with one another and enjoy Stiletto branded glitter tattoos from Corena, the Mompreneur behind Glitter Tattoo NY.
We also had fun gift baskets to giveaway! Spa, hair and nail themed baskets were raffled off to attendees because we know how hard our members work.
So we decided to break up into groups, and groups and groups!
I'm delighted to say that the "Kick Off Your Heels '12 – Estilo Latina" event provided bloggers with tons of networking, laughter, and fun memories … at least till next time!
