Professional video and audio editor
Articles Sony Vegas
Sony Vegas Video is a video editor for both amateurs and professionals who want a complete video editing tool without giving up ease of use.
Powerful but accessible for amateurs
A point to keep in mind - Sony Vegas Video is not easy, but is still simpler than other suites like Premiere or Final Cut Pro. Also, the program is very well documented, so you'll probably find the answer to your questions in the Help section. Thorough documentation, together with a nice interface that will be familiar to anyone who has ever edited video, makes Sony Vegas Video an excellent choice.
Sony Vegas allows you to work on your videos with total freedom; you'll be able to import your media from various devices (including HD video), use more than 300 filters and special effects, leverage specific tools to work with text layers and subtitles and easily optimize image quality.
But Sony Vegas Video doesn't just allow you to edit video. Soundtracks are also important in this editor, which includes more than 30 sound effects and support for VST plug-ins, among other features.
Standard timeline interface
The Sony Vegas Video interface is similar to other video editors. There are several windows to preview your media and current work, as well as a timeline to organize the various audio and video tracks. The best thing about the Sony Vegas Video interface is that it's totally customizable: you can freely open, close and arrange the program's diverse modules to best suit your needs.
In all, Sony Vegas Video is one of those programs that seems off-putting for newcomers and requires some effort to get to grips with. But it's also one of those programs that are totally worth the effort!
An excellent video editor
Sony Vegas Video is an excellent choice in the area of video editing software: powerful enough for professionals, but easier than other video suites.

Lancome Pixel Pink is the newest entry in the company's limited edition Pout-a Porter line, made for the Fashion Week runway in conjunction with makeup artist Gucci Westman. This year's shade was designed in collaboration with designer Thakoon.
Last year's shade, Proenza Pink (Read Review), was a virtually un-wearable shade for the average woman. Yet people scooped it up. This year, the shade was a great improvement, and while it was sold out for awhile, it recently became available again on the Lancome site.
I purchased a tube with a bit of trepidation. The picture of the full tube on the site (and here), looked like a shade I would like, but the little swatch picture by the order box looked way too much like last year's nasty pale version. But I had seen pictures of people wearing Pixel Pink and it looked nice.
Well, it arrived, and I still have mixed feelings. The color is something in between the photos, but definitely more pink than the rose shade in the full tube photo. While it looks OK on me, it isn't wonderful, and I can wear quite a few shades rather well. Yet, I don't hate it. It is a very sheer shade that feels good on the lips, and I think that with some lightly tinted gloss over it, I can make it work for me.
The shade is also certainly distinctive. With any given product, I can usually point to a similar shade in another brand. But this one does stand out. So those in the know will likely recognize it when you are wearing it. It also is wearable for many more people than last year's version, just maybe not me.
Also of more interest to me was the Pixel Pink You Tube video below. It was filmed backstage at Fashion Week with Thakoon.

Yes — but medication for lactation suppression generally isn't recommended.
Injections of high doses of estrogen were once used to stop milk production. Estrogen injections aren't used today, however, due to a risk of potentially dangerous blood clots.
Similarly, bromocriptine (Parlodel) — a drug that was once used for lactation suppression — is no longer recommended. The drug has been associated with high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke, especially for women who developed high blood pressure during pregnancy.
If breast-feeding isn't possible, it's safest to let milk production diminish naturally. In the meantime, don't stimulate your breasts or express milk.
To relieve breast engorgement and pain — which typically peaks during the first week after delivery — you might:

No plans to remove Swastikas from council building (From Braintree and Witham Times)

No plans to remove Swastikas from council building
8:00am Saturday 1st March 2014 in News
Essex County Council has confirmed it has no plans to remove swastika symbols from its county hall building.
A member of the public submitted to a Freedom of Information request to the authority asking why they were on the Chelmsford building.
They believed the symbols could be offensive and upsetting to those who fought in the Second World War.
An Essex County Council spokesman said: "Plans for the County Hall building were drawn up from 1908 and our records show that the architect was ordered to finalise the plans in October 1926.
"Given similar designs are featured on a number of other public buildings of similar age across the world, including churches and universities, it is important that the symbol is seen in its architectural context.
"This part of County Hall has Grade II listed status and any changes to this frontage could be extremely costly to the public purse and would have to be approved by English Heritage.
"At this time, Essex County Council is not considering applying for permission to remove the design from the building."

Staring at a 1-3 record to start the 2012 football season, Corner's playoff hopes were bleak.
Then the Yellow Jackets got their offense going behind quarterback Blake Byrd and receiver Kerry Smith and rolled all the way into the playoffs under first-year head coach Zac Willis.
Corner closed out the regular season by winning six straight games before running into a high-octane Dadeville team in the first round of the playoffs.
For the second straight season, Corner faces a front-loaded the schedule. However, this season the Jackets will be without Byrd and Smith.
This year's opponents went 45-60 last year. However, the last six opponents were just 15-43.
Only three of Corner's opponents had a winning record last season — the Yellow Jackets face those three teams (Munford, Dora and Calera) in the first four weeks. Starting with Week 3, Corner plays five consecutive road games.
The Jackets, who finished 7-4 last season, play their last three games at home in 2013.
Corner opens against Munford, which advanced to the second round of the 4A state playoffs last season. Munford won last year's game 47-7. This year's game will be at Corner High School
After hosting a West Blocton team that finished 2-8 last season, Corner travels to both Dora (last year's 4A, Region 4 champion) and Calera (last year's Region 4 runner up). Dora and Calera combined to win 20 games last year.
Dora won last year's game over Corner 39-17 while Calera picked up a 33-22 win.
The Yellow Jackets' turnaround started at home against rival Hayden in 2012. The teams will meet at Hayden on Sept. 27 in a non-region matchup. Last season Corner held off the Tigers for a 28-22 win thanks to Smith, who had eight catches for 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Corner plays key region games in Week 6 and Week 7, heading to Oak Grove and Jemison. The Jackets pulled out narrow home wins over each team last year, beating Oak Grove 35-28 and Jemison 24-21.
Corner closes out the season with home games against Carbon Hill, Bibb County and Sumiton Christian.
Two of the three teams have new head coaches with Rodney Dollar at Carbon Hill and Zack Holmes the new head coach at Sumiton Christian.
The Yellow Jackets defeated Carbon Hill 52-14 last year.
Corner plays its final region game in Week 9 against Bibb County. Corner won last year's meeting 39-25 to clinch a playoff spot.
Corner topped Sumiton Christian 35-7 in the final regular season game last year.
Corner Yellow Jackets schedule
The Corner Yellow Jackets open their second season under head coach Zac Willis. The Jackets finished 7-4 last season, going 6-1 down the stretch.

From rain slicked streets in Johnston to frost covered cars in Pawtucket to whiteout conditions in Foxboro, no matter where you live, a winter storm in March was not welcome news for most.
For plow drivers in Providence like Richard Loughlin, it has been a waiting game.
"I still have to wait another 10 to 12 hours before I start," Loughlin said. "Then it is work for 15 hours after that.
The farther north you go, the more snow on the ground.
In Attleboro, street signs were barely visible, and in Mansfield, plows were already hitting the streets. The town already received 7 inches on snow on Thursday, and they are bracing for more.

Yes, really. LULZ. Our dream may become reality. Though the Royals would be hilarious from the DMGM=terrible standpoint, just knowing that they're in it is enough for me. Let's Go Phillies! Bring Frenchy Home!
Good players = good. Bad players = bad.
I had to double check that this wasn't from The Onion. At what age will Frenchy no longer say "I have to remind myself sometimes that I'm only [number] years-old"? I want to stop piling on Francoeur at this point. I really do. But the media love continues to be both inexplicable and fascinating.
Seriously though, who could possibly be willing to trade for Francouer?
To GeddyLeeisGod and the rest of Amazin Avenue: I would like to introduce you to your new God! He's armed with a high voice and a low on base percentage. He has long, flowing hair and a smile that could light up any ML clubhouse. He has bass playing and beard shaving abilities, all coupled with a cannon for an arm in RF! Bow down and worship at the feet of your "natural", canadian, Delta Airlines spokesGod.... Jeddy Leecoeur!!!!!
One year ago today, Jeff Francoeur became a Met.
For sale at Turner Field.
Maybe money can motivate Jeff Francoeur to stop swinging at everything.
If you made a trade this one-sided with your little brother as a child, you parents would instantly negate the trade and send you to your room. It's like giving your little brother an empty can of Fanta for his Boba Fett. Now, Ryan Church isn't as awesome as Boba Fett, but I don't have to pay a million dollars to an empty can of Fanta either. Ryan Church is not a star, but I wouldn't trade minor-league shortstop David Church for Francoeur either and he's a player I just made up.From Dan Szymborski's take on the trade. Laughter is the best medicine Mets fans.
What he [Jerry Manuel] is looking for is offense, and Francoeur, two and a half years removed from blasting a career-high 29 home runs, should help out.Ben Sphigel of the New York Times, what the heck are you talking about?

This article examines the practical implications of the Hoechst case itself, its possible broader application, and also some of the other areas of UK tax law that may be incompatible with the right to freedom of establishment under Community law.
On 8 March 2001, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered its ruling in the cases of Hoechst AG & Hoechst UK Ltd v IR Commrs & Attorney-General (Case C-410/98)[2001] BTC99 and Metallgesellschaft Ltd v IR Commrs & Attorney-General (Case C-397/98) [2001] BTC 99. As expected, the ruling agreed with that of the Advocat General which was delivered in October 2000.
Hoechst UK Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hoechst AG, a company resident in Germany. Hoechst UK Ltd paid dividends to Hoechst AG and accounted for ACT on them in accordance with the requirements of UK tax law. However, the ECJ ruled that it was not consistent with Community law for Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988 (ICTA 1988), s. 247 (1) - under which a dividend could be paid under a group income election by a subsidiary resident in the UK to its parent company which is also resident in the United Kingdom (UK) without advance corporation tax (ACT) – to be restricted to cases where both parent and subsidiary were resident in the UK. United Kingdom law in this respect was held to infringe the right to freedom of establishment under Art. 52 of the Treaty of Rome (now Art. 43 of the Treaty of Amsterdam).
Although Hoechst UK Ltd was able to set the ACT paid against its mainstream corporation tax liability, the ECJ ruled that the company is entitled to compensation for the financial loss sustained – in other words, the loss of use of its cash resulting from the early payment of corporation tax. The ECJ held that it is for the UK to lay down the detailed procedural rules governing the payment of financial restitution, and ancillary questions such as the payment of interest, but that those rules must not 'render practically impossible or excessively difficult the exercise of rights conferred by Community law'. The Inland Revenue have since issued further information on how to they intend to proceed with claims to compensation made as a result of the Hoechst decision.
It is also becoming increasingly apparent that the consequences of the decision and those of a number of other ECJ cases on the subject of discrimination may be much wider than the particular facts addressed in Hoechst.
Mechanism for making claims under Hoechst
Following the Hoechst decision, the Revenue have received a number of initial claims to compensation from companies in comparable positions to Hoechst. Their response has been that there are a number of important issues 'not determined by the European Court of Justice'. Principal amongst them is not the entitlement to compensation itself – this right is clear from the decision. However, not determined by the ECJ is the amount of compensation – essentially a procedural issue which the ECJ held was for the UK to determine.
In light of this, the Revenue decided to apply for a Group Litigation Order (GLO) in the High Court, which will decide the issues common to all claims which can been made following the Hoechst decision. It also aims to address other related issues which the decision raises.
The application was approved on 26 November 2001, and test cases will be selected shortly. The issues decided will then be binding on all claimants.
Scope and nature of claim
The GLO will examine a number of issues arising from UK provisions which provide for the payment of ACT. Common to all claims are:
We examine a number of the tax specific issues in the GLO in turn below and then go on to briefly consider the broad effects of non-discrimination on UK tax law in the wider context.
Compensation for surplus ACT
Most of the attention surrounding the Hoechst decision has focussed on claims to compensation in the context of the facts examined in that particular case. However, the basis of the claim to compensation in the Hoechst case was that ACT should not have been accounted for. The GLO raises the prospect of a company in these circumstances claiming compensation for this.
Limit on period of claim
Where companies have paid ACT for a number of years, the issue of the period for which claims can be made could be significant. Although claims to compensation are not governed by tax time limits, the Statute of Limitation imposes a six year time-limit. The Court will have to decide whether this time-limit applies, and from when. In particular, the Court will need to consider whether such procedural rules 'render practically impossible or excessively difficult the exercise of rights conferred by Community law'.
Does entitlement to a tax credit refund affect the right to claim?
Where claimants are not in the same position as Hoechst UK Ltd – for instance, if their parent company is resident outside the EEA, or resident in an EEA country which allows part of the tax credit to be reclaimed – it is quite possible that the Revenue will dispute their entitlement to compensation.
The UK treaties with EEA countries which do allow companies to a partial reclaim of the tax credit on dividends from UK companies are those with Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg (excluding 1929 holding companies), The Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. The treaty with Denmark also allowed a partial tax credit reclaim until 1 January 1998.
It is unclear as to why a distinction has been made by the Revenue between subsidiaries of parent companies resident in states which allow a partial tax credit refund and those which do not. This does not appear to have any validity in the light of the ECJ decision. An entitlement to a tax credit is not conditional on an obligation (or otherwise) to account for ACT. Indeed para. 96 of the decision makes no such distinction – indeed, it does not even mention the right of the parent company to reclaim a partial tax credit:
'Where a subsidiary resident in one Member State has been obliged to pay advance corporation tax in respect of dividends paid to its parent company having its seat in another Member State even though, in similar circumstances, the subsidiaries of parent companies resident in the first Member State were entitled to opt for a taxation regime that allowed them to avoid that obligation, Article 52 of the Treaty requires that resident subsidiaries and their non-resident parent companies should have an effective legal remedy in order to obtain reimbursement or reparation of the financial loss which they have sustained and from which the authorities of the Member State concerned have benefited as a result of the advance payment of tax by the subsidiaries.'
Is the imposition of a five per cent limitation to a partial tax credit refund discriminatory?
Hoechst AG (the German parent company of Hoechst UK Ltd) made a separate claim to reclaim the tax credit (or a part thereof) attaching to the dividend paid by Hoechst UK Ltd. This claim was not considered by the ECJ as (perhaps mistakenly) a connection was made in the case between the ACT liability on the dividend and the credit attaching to it. As no ACT should have been paid, the ECJ considered that no tax credit attached to the dividend.
However, the basis of Hoechst AG's claim may still be valid. Under the principle of non-discrimination, any EEA parent company may be entitled to a partial refund of the tax credit on dividends received from UK subsidiaries which equates to the refund to which, say, a Dutch parent company would be entitled (the UK-Netherlands tax treaty provides for a refund of half the credit less a five per cent 'withholding'). The argument here is that a Spanish parent company, for instance, is discriminated against because its treaty with the UK (unlike the Netherlands') does not provide for a tax credit refund.
Although the GLO makes reference to this argument, it is about to be separately heard by the ECJ in the case of IR Commrs v Océ van der Grinten [2001] BTC 22.
In any event, this discrimination would appear to be entirely separate from the discrimination suffered as a result of the ACT provisions, and Hoechst AG's claim would therefore appear to stand regardless of any claim to compensation by Hoechst UK Ltd. However, the Revenue have clearly made the same connection as the ECJ, as the original classes of claimant differentiated between those whose parent companies were entitled to a refund of the tax credit (or part thereof), and those who could not. And it may be that they will therefore seek to deny (or at least decrease) compensation to UK companies where a tax credit refund has already been made.
Non-EEA groups of companies
Although the Hoechst decision was based on the non-discrimination provisions of the Treaty of Rome, it raises the question as to whether the non-discrimination clauses in the UK's other treaties can apply with similar effect. Many Double Tax Agreements (DTAs) contain non-discrimination clauses which (in the light of the Hoechst and related decisions) may apply to override discriminatory aspects of the provisions of UK domestic tax law.
In Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada v Pearson [1986] STC 335, Vinelott J, dealing specifically with the non-discrimination articles of the UK-Canada agreements of 1966 and 1978, stated that the purpose of the articles was to preclude and nullify specific discriminatory provisions. He held the view that the articles appeared to be directed primarily at differential rates of tax and differences in granting reliefs.
The argument runs that a UK subsidiary company of, say, a US parent would not have been required to account for ACT on dividends paid had the parent instead been UK resident (and assuming that a group election had been made), and that this is discriminatory under the UK-US DTA.
Indeed, the wording of the Treaty of Rome closely mirrors that of the standard non-discrimination clauses of UK DTAs. Article 52 of the Treaty of Rome provides that:
'Freedom of establishment shall include the right to … set up and manage undertakings, in particular companies or firms within the meaning of the second paragraph of Art. 58, under the conditions laid down for its own nationals by the law of the country where such establishment is effected, subject to the provisions of the Chapter relating to capital.'
Article 58 of the Treaty of Rome treats companies which are incorporated in a European Union (EU) member state and have their registered office, central administration or principle place of business in the EU in the same way as 'natural persons' for the purposes of Art. 52.
Article 24(2) of the UK-US DTA (for instance) provides that:
'The taxation on a permanent establishment which an enterprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than the taxation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the same activities.'
The Revenue have contended in the past, however, that the non-discrimination article of a treaty does not enable one UK resident company to pay dividends without accounting for ACT. They may well hold that the proper construction of the non-discrimination clause of an appropriate double tax treaty is not to compare the position with that which would apply if the parent were UK resident, but to compare the situation with that applying to a UK company owned by a resident of some other state. This argument has not been heard before the Courts and therefore a claim to compensation (and also a claim to repayment of any surplus ACT) may be advisable.
Other UK tax provisions
The Hoechst case and other recent ECJ cases have also brought into question the extent to which other UK tax legislation is compatible with the Treaty of Rome.
The UK has recently taken various steps to eliminate some areas of discrimination but there are arguably a number of other provisions in UK tax law which, following on from the Hoechst case and other ECJ decisions (most notably Staatssectretaris van Financien v B G M. Verkooijen (C-35/98) ), are discriminatory where domestic tax law treats other EEA-resident persons differently from those resident locally.
To name but one example of possible UK discrimination (whether direct or indirect), the taxation of dividends on both individuals and companies differs depending on the residency status of the payer.
Individual UK resident shareholders are taxed at a maximum rate of 32.5 per cent on dividends from UK companies, with a tax credit of ten per cent. Dividends from non-UK companies are taxed at a maximum rate of 40 per cent, potentially with double tax relief for foreign withholding taxes. For corporate shareholders, the disparity is even more marked. Dividends received by UK companies from other UK companies are exempt from tax altogether, whilst dividends from non-UK companies are taxed under Sch. D Case V at the company's marginal rate of tax (again with possible double tax relief) – indeed this point is addressed in the GLO (s. 208). Such an analysis is reinforced (at least in an EEA context) by the ECJ decision in the case of Verkooijen, in which it was provided that (albeit in the context of natural persons):
'Article 1(1) of Council Directive 88/361/EEC of 24 June 1988 for the implementation of Article 67 of the Treaty precludes a legislative provision of a Member State which, like the one at issue in the main proceedings, makes the grant of an exemption from the income tax payable on dividends paid to natural persons who are shareholders subject to the condition that those dividends are paid by a company whose seat is in that Member State.'
In practice, this could mean that shareholders in non-UK companies may be entitled to a repayment of tax, and compensation in respect of tax already paid on dividends received.
Other potentially discriminatory UK tax measures include, amongst others, the Controlled Foreign Company provisions (ICTA 1988, s. 747), the exempt distribution demerger provisions (ICTA 1988, s. 213), the consortium relief provisions (ICTA 1988, s. 406), the provisions dealing with the attribution of gains to members of non-resident companies (Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 (TCGA 1992), s. 13) and certain aspects of the double tax relief on-shore pooling regime (ICTA 1988, s. 806 A–J).
However, the Revenue have yet to – and as far as we are aware, do not plan to – issue guidance covering other discriminatory UK tax provisions, and the GLO only covers the issues surrounding ICTA 1988, s. 247.
The ramifications of the Hoechst decision are considerable, and amounts of compensation involved may be significant. The impact of Community law as it applies to discrimination and also potentially non-discrimination clauses in the UK's treaties on UK tax legislation may extend far beyond ACT and ICTA 1988, s. 247. It seems very likely that the Revenue will soon be deluged with claims to reliefs and compensation.

You're right, and that was totally my bad! I told Emily the wrong name.
Amanda, you're fired! :)
I'm still amazed at how far NeNe has come from the first couple of seasons of RHOA. I love her style now!
Nene is awesome! I like how on the latest episode she kept picking at Kenya about her relationship with Walter! LOL! She is too much! The scene when they were all getting massages and Nene was all shy was funny too! The bag is awesome but huge!
Can anyone ID her glasses? The brand?
I believe Celine

- Dinner with Family from Los AngelesOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/31/2014Food is outstanding. View out of this world. My Scallops were delicious and perfectly cooked. My husband Pot Roast was very impressive and mouth watering. My Family from Los Angeles wants to come back to Moonraker soon. We'll come back permanently. Service was slow. Thanks. Martha E. Romero Thanks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great pairing of food & viewsOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/31/2014A group of us came here for brunch. We were surprised by the food selection... oysters, shrimp, crab, soups, prime rib, waffles, omelets and MORE! We enjoyed the sangria and mimosas while looking out the huge windows to the ocean view. Great value compared to nearby fancy brunch locations along the coast.Special Features:
- An Oldie but a GoodieOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/30/2014We used to go to the Moonraker in the 70's before high school dances - it was wonderful then and has apparently retained it's reputation. The food was great and our waiter was fabulous. The view is wonderful! If you like old-school ambiance, this is the place for you.Special Features:
- marilynDined on 8/29/2014There is one glitch, I asked for decaf and at 3 a.m. as I was folding laundry was not a happy camper. Would it be gauche to ask a waiter in the future to pour the coffee in front of me so I can be sure........Special Features:
- A beautiful eveningAnamandarisDined on 8/28/2014Reserved in hopes of a romantic anniversary watching a perfect sunset. Well, it was overcast, but everything else was, honestly, perfect. Gracious, attentive, kind service, from the moment we were greeted until we left. The food was solid, the view was beautiful, but the pacing and setting were just perfect. First meal in a while where everything just flowed so well. Luis and the other service staff were excellent, present but not intrusive. The views from the booth seats are impressive. Other guests all seemed to be having a good experience, too. If you didn't pick up on it yet, I had a very positive experience having our anniversary dinner here. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/18/2014Great clam chowder. Good pot roast. Monday prix fixe is great value. Squid ink fettuccine was overcooked. The modern restaurant is beautifully and smartly designed to maximize the number of tables with an ocean view. Interesting dinnerware shaped like ovals, squares, and crescent moons.Special Features:
- Very noisy from private party belowOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/16/2014Came here the week before and had a great dinner and service. Came back a week later and it wasn't even close to our first experience. There was a wedding party going on below the restaurant that vibrated our seats and overpowered all ambience in Moonraker. I asked to move to the other side of the restaurant but it really didn't change anything noise wise. Hostess thought I was crazy to ask to move with her scowl. I guess the music below bothered the staff as well as my server was barely around and staff hanging out talking a lot. The food was good but I cannot even remember it as the experience was ruined by the crazy loud music from below. And no, we're not seniors or old fogeys. Felt like I wasted my Saturday night evening & $$$Special Features:
- Intimate and divineOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/15/2014Fantastic staff, delicious food, gorgeous view. Menu is creative, lovely presentationSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing and uneven mealRubyVIPDined on 8/13/2014We have dined at Moonraker many times and have typically loved the food. This time we were sadly disappointed. The beet salad was lacking in flavor, and the steamed mussels were not only minuscule, but also at least a third of the shells were completely empty. The pot roast was fatty and tough. The meat was sliced in small pieces that were aesthetically unappealing-- looked like school cafeteria meat. They did substitute roasted fingerlings for the mashed, and the fingerlings were cooked perfectly. Another person had the coconut shrimp which she liked a great deal. The best part of the meal was the complementary chocolate layer birthday cake (we were there celebrating someone's birthday), which was beautifully displayed and very delicious.Special Features:
- Enhanced our stay with Best WesternPeteyDined on 8/11/2014We were skeptic of the restaurant but since we didn't feel like driving any great distance for dinner, we opted to eat right next to our Hotel and we were glad that we did. From the drop dead beautiful sunset view to the excellent service to the tasty food, we enjoyed the whole evening. If we ever stay here again, we will surely eat here again. PS: Breakfast was good too!Special Features:
- Always DeliversOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 8/9/2014This is a spot me and my wife have gone to for all our "Big Deals" Marriage proposal, House buying, and other of life's big decisions. Wonderful memories here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special occasion our anniversary!AnniversaryDined on 8/3/2014The atmosphere was very nice. We had an ocean view and it was very romantic. The food was outstanding but portions could have been a little larger. The tiramisu was delicious! For what we ordered it was very reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/29/2014I always loved this place.. tonight on my bday ..the service was slow and the food was not very good... the oysters were really small...It's like we were stuck in the corner and forgotten.. very disappointed.. but thank you for the piece of bday cake..
- Reasonably priced5150stewDined on 7/26/2014I brought my wife here for her Birthday and we were pleasantly surprized. After we had been seated in a booth next to the window overlooking the Ocean, we ate a wonderful filet and lobster dinner. This is a great place to eat although the service could be improved, but over all we would recommend to everyone. We will be back soon.Special Features:
- Put them on your listBillVIPDined on 7/22/2014They barely pass my bang/buck test when food alone is is the issue, but the view, service and general ambiance more than make up for it. They have a three course meal before 6:30 which is excellent. Happy hour is also terrific.Special Features:
- Breathtaking nightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/20/2014my husband and I came her for our wedding anniversary and were pleased with everything! The service was excellent and friendly. The food was amazing. We had the artichoke appetizer, both order the NY steak(cooked perfectly) and ordered the desserts to a much pleasant surprise. The views were beautiful with all the tables facing the sun setting side of the ocean. When the sun set the lighting was dim and set a very romantic tone. Recommend this for nice dinners or lunches and for great food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

This place is perfect for a romantic dinner or just cocktails. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- bday dinnergdc1989Dined on 7/19/2014Went to celebrate mom's bday. Great location - poor service, i.e., the servers were very nice and police - that wasn't the issue. It took about 20 minutes for our cocktails and bread to be served. That's too long - dinner was a wait as well. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. I wouldn't recommend for those reasons. For the price, everything should be excellent.
- Thoroughly EnjoyedRowboat62Dined on 7/18/2014Everything was good, great service to a great view. Only downside was that we asked for medium-rare for our steak and we got a well instead....I need my blood. Other than that good experience. I would go back again, the views alone make it worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- KittyDined on 7/18/2014Everything was fine except 1/2 glass of champagne was 7:50 per 1/2 glass I never heard of such a thing. 3 glasses of champagne were 42.00. 2 orders of oysters Rockefeller plus Gin and tonic $84.00. A Total rip off.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Crashing Surf and Seafood!Food4thotVIPDined on 7/17/2014If you like watching the surf crashing as you dine on surf and turf, this is your spot...lobster tasted so good, I can't even describe it....steak so tender and juicy....beet salad superb, all with a colorful presentation....our waiter, Luis, was not only professional, but also warm and friendly....only negative, the grand mariner bread pudding....couldn't taste the grand marnier.....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gorgeous ViewsEspanolaVIPDined on 7/13/2014Great pacific views, very romantic and relaxing. The food was very good and the service was great. Will highly recommend it. The place itself needs some remodeling and updating.Special Features:
- nice Sunday brunchunclesketchygaloreDined on 7/6/2014Moonraker puts on an impressive spread for its 2 seatings, 10:30 am and 1pm for Sunday brunch. The ocean view is panoramic. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mooning Over DinnerigorshunchDined on 7/5/2014The food was superb. The only problem of the evening was deciding what to choose from the menu. My wife began with the Dungeness Crab cakes appetizer, while I selected the Oysters Rockefeller; we shared a Caesar Salad. The main course was broiled, twin lobster tails, accompanied by sauteed vegetables and fingerling potatoes, for my better half. I elected Seared Ahi tuna, with smoked paprika lobster risotto, hedgehog mushrooms and porcini foam. Desert was creme brule and coffee. I requested a booth by the window. We could not have been happier with our seating and our view of the Pacific. The staff was excellent; the most attentive (yet unobtrusive) waiter I have ever had. Truly a wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Moonraker.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great view, music and meal!FoodieVIPDined on 7/5/2014What a great view and evening we had last night. We really enjoyed the music from the lounge, didn't know they had a live band and it was a great vibe for the atmosphere. Three of us had the double lobster tail dinners, it was fabulous, perfectly cooked, fresh and delicious. One of us had the ahi, very good. The lobster bisque cappucino was a fun surprise and the chocolate cake dessert very good. The service was also very good and all together, made for a wonderful meal and dining experience.Special Features:
- 50/50OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/5/2014The view was amazing! I felt spoiled sitting in a booth facing the ocean. There was wonderful live musing playing in the bar area. The musician was fantastic. The food however was disappointing. The ceasar salad was drenched with mayo, the table bread was a sweet roll. This was not appetizing. Sourdough bread is ideal with a 90% seafood menu. In addition, the chippino soup was not very flavorful. Lastly, the crab cakes were dry. I hope this feedback helps.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic & great foodfood2explore21Dined on 7/4/2014Dining while enjoying view of the ocean and clashing of the waves is out of the ordinary, just romantic!!I enjoyed their beef tartare on the appetizer menu. My fiance didn't think I would like that but I did. I ordered Ahi Tuna for entree and it went well with the Riesling I ordered. It was perfect night and dinnerSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Neighborhood gem!JessicaBabyVIPDined on 6/22/2014It was my first time there. The view of the Pacific Ocean is just stunning. Hard to find another restaurant so close to the ocean with such a view! The view is even better than Cliff House in SF. The food and service were both great. The seafood platter was better than we expected. Just wish they could have more varieties in the dessert menu. We were able to enjoy fine dining without the hassle of traveling to places like Fishermans wharf in San Francisco or worry about parking etc. Will definitely visit again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brunch - 22 July 2014OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/22/2014Second time I have been to Moonraker, the first was for cocktails and to listen to the live music which was a very pleasant experience and provided rationale for trying their brunch. My guest and I arrived, being informed (for the first time) seating is limited to 2-hrs, meaning if you are going there to sit, talk, and enjoy the scenic view - you may only do so for your allotted two hours. Discussion with our waiter John (who provided excellent service) and the manager (I think was more owing to the place wasn't packed), yielded a relaxing afternoon of chatting and casual dining. The food unfortunately lacks luster and is typical "buffet" fare. Tonnes of children using the restaurant as a playground also detracted from the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another delicious dinnerjoskiDined on 6/21/2014We had the fritto misto, and it was very good. I had the scallop dinner, and it was over-the-top delicious. Every bite was mouth-watering and the flavors were wonderful. My husband had the salmon. He said it was delicious but not delivered rare as he had requested. The service was excellent, and the ocean view was as always magnificent. It was my husband's birthday, so they brought him/us a special piece of birthday cake on the house. This is one of our favorite places to eat in Pacifica!Special Features:
- DockieVIPDined on 6/20/2014So pleased you decided to reopen for lunch!! It's a great place to have planning meetings. Thank you.Special Features:
- Wonderful findGoldenmomDined on 6/17/2014My husband and I were staying in Pacifica a few nights and didn't want to drive into San Francisco for dinner. I found Moonraker on trip advisor and booked on Opentable. We went on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy. Right on the ocean with beautiful views. I had the baked Dungeness crab with veggies and hubby had the ahi tuna. We also had a lobster cauppicino and oysters. Even though it wasn't cheap the food and view were well worth the cost.Special Features:
- Nice View Average Food & ServiceT00N5Dined on 6/15/2014Overall you can find much better food and service for around the same price elsewhere. Ordered a medium rare steak that came out medium well. Served us oysters that shouldn't have even been considered being plated because some of them were scrambled/mangled. Waiter could'be checked on us more frequently especially since they were not busy at all. Nice views though from almost every table.Special Features:

Cheri Ausboe, who has coached the Peninsula High School boys tennis team for 13 seasons, has taken over the helm of the school's girls tennis team this spring.
Ausboe, along with assistant coach Ian Skidmore, quickly implemented the system that's made the boys team successful throughout the years.
"We really want to focus on, 'Practice with a purpose,' "Ausboe said. "You don't just come out and hit the ball. You really come out, and there's a focus for each practice, and we work on something. Every day, there's a part of the game that we work on."
The team lost several key seniors from a season ago, including Emily Ausboe, Sammy Lee, Josie Dunington and Erin Horkan. However, the Seahawks return their No. 1 doubles team — senior Katie Campbell and junior Nicole Lee, the team's captains.
Sophomore Allie Barry, a singles participant in the Class 3A state tournament last year, also returns, along with Tiffany Lopez, Ciera Haase, McKayla Gaddis and freshman Laurel Schley.
Campbell said aggressiveness at the net has been a key focus for the doubles team.
"We're really working on our net game, up close and getting the volleys, so that we don't have long, drawn-out games," Campbell said. "It's way easier at the net, and if you're good at it, you'll be able to win more matches."
Campbell said she and Lee hope to reach the state tournament.
"We think we have the ability, if we keep working at it," she said.
If they can't get there, Lee hopes they'll have some fun along the way.
The team has its focus on capturing the South Puget Sound League 3A league title, an honor Enumclaw took a season ago.
"We were second last season," Campbell said. "If we could win this season, our main goal is to really beat Enumclaw, because we haven't beat them a lot, so that's one of the teams we really want to beat."
Ausboe thinks it's a realistic goal. What the team lacks in experience, it makes up for in athleticism, she said.
"Our goal would be to be league champs, obviously," Ausboe said. "We have some girls who are really good athletes. They haven't had a lot of time on the courts, but they're really good athletes, and they can pick up the game really fast."
Ausboe said she believes the team's work ethic will set them apart from others.
"When practice is over, they don't want to leave," Ausboe said. "They stay after and continue to practice. I think their willingness to just go above and beyond the daily practice is going to be a really big advantage for us. They're wanting to practice on Saturdays. They're willing to put in the time and effort."
Ausboe is pleased with the team's bond, leadership and communication during the early portion of the season.
"The girls are really communicating with who they're playing with, and I think that's also going to be helpful," she said.

It's safe to say all of us would hate to lose out on any money we're owed, but Consumer Reports says it might be happening more than you think.
And we don't even know it.
For its February issue, Consumer Reports found a staggering amount of people who still have unclaimed life insurance benefits.
The total: About $1 billion. And it's just waiting for people to claim it.
The average claim is about $2,000, with some payouts as high as $300,000.
The magazine calculates the odds of some of that money belonging to you are about 1/600. You can do an online search to find out if any unclaimed money belongs to you.

--check this week on the Glitz blog for a fun "10 minute project" I will be showing you!
--last Sunday did a mini photo shoot of Senior pics of my daughter and a friend of hers. Turned out GREAT if I do say so myself! We'll be finishing up the shoot this week sometime -
--still have one more day of family vacation photo's to share with you!
--have FUN news to share soon - don't forget to check back!
--thank you so much for all of your sweet comments and "hi's" to me!! I LOVE them all!!
~*~that's it for today - I'll be back tomorrow sometime with news, photos & more!
***OHHH wait!! I need to introduce you to the newest addition to our family:
She came home with us this week. During our Senior photo shoot, my former Rebel conked out on me. It just DIED, never came back on. I was so sad. I just couldn't believe a camera I'd only had 3 1/2 years decided to poop out. We took it to have it examined, to see if there was any hope and yes, after paying lots and lots of $$ to repair...she could have been repaired. We thought, since I've been EYEING this gorgeous girl for a while now (and had it on my Christmas list), to just go ahead and put that money into an upgrade. It took me a little bit to think about it (oh who am I kidding, it took me all of 10 minutes maybe? LOL!) and we decided to go ahead. Sooo here you have her- our newest addition. Isn't she a BEAUT? I love her!
p.s. keep those hi's a comin'! :)
be back soon - hugs!

Maybe, like me, you'll design and build from scratch...
Check out the last steps-- information's been added since this guide was first published.
Among the goals for this build:
--Build an amp with that MMM-good tube sound...
--Design it myself.
--Reuse salvaged and vintage components whenever possible, and save good stuff from the landfill.
--Make something unusual (6DG6GT's in a parallel single-ended configuration qualifies as unusual...as does the tone control....)
A whole lot of tweaking later, I've got an amp that pleases me. A small, but surprisingly LOUD amp that outputs something in the neighborhood of 8 watts (see the Power Amp Stage step for more info.) And the combination of 12AX7 and 6DG6GT tubes, though unusual, works quite well...
Oh, and this is a fairly hi-gain amp--i.e., it has a good amount of natural tube clipping and distortion, and a decently "dirty" sound. However, hi-gain and high volume are not the same....this amp is loud for it's wattage, but it's not a Marshall stack. It remains a studio type amp, but it is louder than all those Valve Jrs., Champs, Blackhearts, etc. which are so popular today....
Clean signal, no F/X.
Settings: volume 50%, tone 60%, presence 30% :
Clean signal, no F/X
Settings near max :
(Some "ghosting" on the highs is a resonating glass-door china cabinet about 5 feet from the amp...)
In fact, there's a little too much gain...
One thing's for sure...tackling such a project means many happy hours pouring over data sheets, studying schematics, checking output transformer specs, and tracking down NOS tubes....
Noteworthy: there's a certain aspect to this build.... I wanted to retain the feel and budget of the radio-amateurs and home-builders of the past. You can easily spend in excess of $1000 USD for a small tube amp kit alone (nothing but the best audiophile components.) There's an elitism about modern tube amps I tried to avoid (or maybe I'm just cheap ;0)
It is the Amps (current). What I mean is it is the amount of current that you push through your body. If your body resistance is low enough and the voltage you come into contact with is high enough to cause your body to conduct or pass as low as 100mA, it could possibly kill you, or at least do damage. In other words it ends up being the amount of power your body dissipates. generally you can get a pretty good sensation out of as low as 5mA. The Ohms Law relationships should be understood.
It's both amperes and voltage--which is pretty much as I read your comment.
High-voltage static electricity won't kill you, not enough current. Low-voltage 1.5V batteries can supply well over 1 amp in short circuit, but not enough voltage to overcome skin resistance.
It is always best to drain the charge off of a capacitor through a properly rated power resistor than to dump it all of a sudden, it could cause unintended consequences.
There's more info here, on my amp rebuild project.
-- OR jumper the positive (+) lead of each large cap to GND for several seconds. A jumper with a built-in resistor (10K or so) will help prevent sparks here...
Hi gmoon this looks real good
Thanks, mate. It's a real rat's nest from all the changes, but still sounds pretty good. Wanna make some more "original" designs someday, but there's always an old project amp here to fix.
I think I've commented on your stuff before. It's good stuff.
Here's another question: does the speaker power rating have to be the same as the amp's, like, could i use a 15W speaker even though my amp probably won't output 15W ?
So long as the speaker has a higher power capacity rating than the amp it's OK.
You shouldn't use a 15W speaker with a 30W amp, that would blowup the speaker (if the amp were turned up). The standard approach is that the speaker have a wattage capacity as large as the peak output power of the amp...for tube amps that's usually twice their normal power rating (so a 15W amp requires at least a 30W speaker).
For amps with much lower output power than the speaker--no problem. People are always plugging in their little micro "Smokey" amps into 200W Marshall cabs, and that works just fine....
Ok, now i've got a problem: the max plate dissipation watts of the EL84 is 12W, so if i do Va/(Pa/Va) running my amp t 20V, the OT primary impedance should be about 33 ohms. I don't think i can can find anything like that, but i found a 1500 to 600 omhs OT, so do you think i could use that with a 12 ohm speaker, or like a 8 ohm speaker and a 4 ohm resistor in series, or something like that ? (1500:600=30:12)
Yeah--not totally certain if that formula will work at these low voltages, but every time I run the numbers for an amp it's darn close to the spec'ed impedance. So it's certainly worth using as a starting point.
It's a little crazy but I'm not certain you need an OT--two 16 ohm speakers in series will yield a 32 ohm load resistance. Might work just like that, wired as the load...
Yeah, but i wouldn't get as much volume, right ? And it's certainly cheaper ($2.25)
The purpose of an output transformer is just to match the high output impedance of the tubes to the low impedance speaker. For devices with low output impedance (such as transistors), no OT is needed. If the impedance of an EL84 @ 20V really is ~33 ohms, there isn't much point in using one.
Certainly the best load would probably be found by experimenting with a various speakers (8,16, 32, 64 ohms) or even w/ the transformer you describe. The formula could be off at these voltages...
I heard that the lower the speaker impedance the more volume you get, but i really don't know (do you?). If it doesn't make volume difference i'll do what you suggested, but speakers are kinda expensive, so if i use, say, an 8 ohm speaker and 24 ohm resistor or something like that, would it work (an sound) as well ?
And if the formula goes off at low voltage, could it go off enough to damage the amp or other negative effects ?
"I heard that the lower the speaker impedance the more volume you get"
This is true for solid state amplifiers, not for tubes. Solid state amps deliver more and more power with lower load impedance until they short out/melt down (or the internal protection, if any, kicks in and silences them until they cool).
But there's a "sweet spot" for the load resistance of a tube--anything higher or lower still works (to some extent), but doesn't yield as much power. There's a load R vs. power output graph in this very instructable (see it here). The graph shows the max power/min distortion at ~3500 ohms, and the power drops off above and below that value.
Of course you should never run a tube amp without a load (or as a dead short), but for a low wattage amp like yours, anything in the general neighborhood would probably work... Stay away from the extremes and you probably won't harm the tube.
If you place a 24 ohm resistor in series with the speaker it might approach the "ideal" impedance, but it will consume current that you'd want to reach the speaker and act as a voltage divider (speaker will get 1/4 the output voltage), so you'll loose LOTS of power/volume. It would in fact be acting as an attenuator.
Just dig up some cheap speakers at a thrift store or tossed radios, etc., to test it. You might get lucky and like how they sound.
OK, i'll use speakers to match the impedance. But this brought up to another problem: i wanted to make sure i don't use speakers with a lower wattage then the amps' wattage. So i looked for some of those EL84 loadline things and i found some, but they were all completely different.
Is there any way to know which one to consider ?
I don't think an EL34 @ 20V is going to produce much more than a watt. And speakers in series share the current, so don't worry about the individual wattage per speaker, look at series resistance.
I'm not sure you can draw a loadline with the existing graphs, 0 to 20V would only occupy a small sliver of the graph.
The Load imped. vs. wattage graph I linked to is for a specific voltage (see the little inset--plate V = 200V, screen = 110V). Even at low voltage I'd expect the output graph to have a similar shape. But you'll never find a similar graph for 20V, that's way out of the designed operating voltage for almost all "normal" vacuum tubes.
Most datasheets have examples of operation in typical topologies. If you look at the datasheet for the above tube (6dg6gt), you'll see SE operation at 110V and at 200V. As expected (and you've formulated), the load resistance for those two operational points is 2000 ohms and 4000 ohms.
I.E., as you've come to suspect, the load resistance drops considerably with the plate V.
You gotta remember you're in uncharted territory here. No guarantees; the next step probably is experimentation...
Sorry, meant to write EL84, not EL34...
So, is your point that i should just try out speakers without worrying too much about their wattage ?
Oh, and about the loadline differences, i figured out the problem was that i didn't consider the screen grid voltage (sounded weird that EL84s could output 2 watts at 20v!)
Well, pentodes do have different characteristics than triodes, and might yield more wattage that I originally thought. But wattage is V x A, so don't expect to get too much due to the lower voltage.
Ok. The speaker should be connected from one side to the plate and from the other to the ground, right ?
To the B+, like the way a SE OT functions.
it's 4 12AU7 preamp stages (yeah, a valvecaster type setup), all with 100K plate resistor. The third stage also has a 250K plate POT. There's also an EQ and a gain control after the second preamp stage.
For the biases, the two cathodes of each valve have a 25K POT and a 2.2uF (should i double the values since it's 2 cathodes ?).
The signal caps are all 0.02uF, except for the EQ, of couse.
For the output i thoght an SE configuration using a EL84 at 20V or a 12AL8 at 12V, with a 1K resistor for the screen grid.
I put a 1M pot between the output valve and the OT as a Master control.
Not sure if you'd want the cathodes of each 12au7 to share the same cathode bias resistor (pot) or not. A pot on each cathode might give you more control. But the shared resistor could work well too.
An additional gain/volume control could be inserted after the first stage. Lotsa high-gain amps do that, call it Gain, OD, Volume1, whatever.
A possible alternative preamp might be three gain stages, then a cathode follower driving the tone controls... Or two gain stages, cathode follower / tone, one recovery gain stage. A CF Isn't necessary, but many high-gain amps that use lossy tone stacks like the extra current a CF can supply for the tone.
You couldn't tie the cathodes together with a single cathode bias resistor if one is a follower. Anyway, just throwing the CF out there...
I'm not certain what value screen resistor would be needed. Those are there primarily to limit screen current. But how much current will an el84 screen grid draw at 20V? Not much (the LXH2 doesn't have one). Since this is a low-power output stage, it might be fun to use a 1K rheostat (1W to 5W) here, as limiting screen current is one way to reduce volume while keeping some hair on the output. Don't know how effective it will be; might only be usable in a small range of adjustment...
Anyway, i'll take the screen grid resistor away.
Seems I recall the second triode in the valvecaster has the cathode grounded. I've always assumed it's done like that so that the two stages clip differently, as high-gain amps often alternate the cathode R and plate R values. Or maybe the first triode stage has the largest effect on the sound. With four stages, maybe a panel bias pot for the first tube stage, and trim pots for the next three? Or just ground the next three? Play with it...
You could also add a DPDT to switch in / out a stage or two, for a low / high gain channel effect. In that case, you would probably need a gain pot within the high stage as well, since the high gain channel volume would need to be tamed relative to the clean.
Anyway--Good Luck!
By the way, your amp souded real nice.
Good job.

I tried posting the schematic, but it was really small and you couldn't see anything, so i'll tell you:
it's 4 12AU7 preamp stages (yeah, a valvecaster type setup), all with 100K plate resistor. The third stage also has a 250K plate POT. There's also an EQ and a gain control after the second preamp stage.
For the biases, the two cathodes of each valve have a 25K POT and a 2.2uF (should i double the values since it's 2 cathodes ?).
The signal caps are all 0.02uF, except for the EQ, of couse.
For the output i thoght an SE configuration using a EL84 at 20V (is 20V still too low ?)or a 12AL8 at 12V, with a 1K resistor for the screen grid.
I put a 1M pot between the output valve and the OT as a Master control.
I was thinking of using 12AU7s for the preamp stage, and i thought of an EL84 'cause i saw the schematic of the LXH2, which uses two EL84 at low voltages.
I also considered using 20 or 30v to get more power. How about that ?
Sure, why not try two 12au7 stages in a valvecaster type setup? Unless "all tube" is important, I'd probably leave the two opamp phase inverter of the LXH2 intact--those two opamps are unity-gain anyways. Just replace the two preamp opamps with the tubes.
Otherwise you'll have to figure out a phase inverter that works at low voltages (again, you could look to the low voltage tubes, schematics of car radios, etc, from that period). Might be easily done with another 12au7 at low voltage, or it might be more difficult (the PI gain needs to be at least unity). You won't know until you try.
Any small push-pull output transformer with a 6K input impedance would work fine here. Should be cheaper than a typical EL84 OT.
I'd like to build a tube amp, but i know little about electronics, and i'm scared of high voltages, so i designed a 12V amp.
Would an EL84 work at 12V ?
And how do i calculate the output power ?
I doubt you'd get much at all from output tubes at 12V. It kinda works with some preamp tubes, but then not too much above unity.
When figuring output power, I look to the tube data sheets--they usually list several configurations (SE, PP) at a handful of voltages. Unfortunately, not for low voltage operation.
You could look into low voltage power tubes--they were used in stuff like car radios.
What is the list of materials/estimated cost of building this?
I've been working on my version of this amp for some time now. It's so close to being done but I have this issue. See the video link. http://youtu.be/CWk6nhGLEV0 I'm all new to this (I'm actually a drummer, not a guitarist and a mechanical engineer, not electrical) but I have enjoyed learning and creating something really cool. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hurricane Preparation for Pet Owners
School of Veterinary Medicine
Office of Public Relations
For Immediate Release: June 21, 2011
BATON ROUGE—Pet Owners: If an emergency or bad weather forces you and your pets from your home, Will you know what to do and what to bring?
If you are forced to evacuate your home because of a hurricane or other emergency, don't forget to make preparations for your pets. Pets, just like any other member of your family, have their own special needs. Here are some tips from the Louisiana State Animal Response Team (LSART – www.lsart.org) and LSU School of Veterinary Medicine (www.vetmed.lsu.edu) to help you prepare for an evacuation.
• Don't leave your pet at home! While most evacuations last only a few days, there are times that you may not be able to return quickly. The safest place for your pet is with you.
• If you are going to a hotel, call ahead and make sure, in advance, that animals are welcome. Many hotels relax their policies during times of crisis, but don't assume that this will be the case. For on-line information about pet-friendly hotels, check out www.bringyourpet.com, www.petswelcome.com, or www.pets-allowed-hotels.com.
• If you are staying with friends or family, make sure that your pets are invited as well. If not, ask for recommendations of nearby veterinary hospitals or boarding kennels and make reservations in advance.
• Be sure that your pets are up-to-date on all vaccinations and bring proof of vaccinations with you. It is a good idea to ask your veterinarian now for a copy of your pet's vaccination record. Keep this with your emergency kit.
• If your pet is on medication, bring at least a two week supply.
• Identification of your pet is crucial! The ideal form of identification is a microchip* or a tattoo. At minimum, your pet should have a tag with his name, your name, and your phone number on it. Pictures of your pet that capture identifying features are also a good idea
*A microchip is a tiny permanent identification tag, placed under your pet's skin by your veterinarian. By registering your name and address with the microchip company, your pet can be scanned and instantly identified at any animal facility.
• Enough pet food for one week
• Food bowl
• Water bowl
• Bottled water
• Leash
• Collar
• Proof of vaccinations
• Rabies tag
• Portable kennel
• Litter box and litter for cats
• Trash bags for stool disposal
• Newspaper or towels for crate lining
• Heartworm preventation
• Flea and tick protection
• All medications
• For exotic pets, bring their entire habitat, including heat lamps and extension cords
Your pet's kennel should be large enough for him to stand and turn around. Collapsible wire crates are best if your pets might be in a non-air conditioned environment for an extended period. Molded plastic airline-approved crates make for easier transport and are best for animals that don't travel well in the car.
People with special needs or people without transportation who have pets contact their parish emergency managers (e.g. the parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness) ahead of time so that they can be registered for requiring special assistance in a disaster situation. You may need to contact the parish emergency manager via the parish sheriff's office. For a list of parish emergency preparedness offices and contacts, go to thehttp://www.gohsep.la.gov/regions.aspx.
If your pet requires medical care after-hours, you can bring your pet to the LSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital on Skip Bertman Drive; the hospital is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year and remains open even during disasters such as hurricanes. The number for the Small Animal Clinic is 225-578-9600, and the number for the Large Animal Clinic is 225-578-9500. Information about the school and the hospital can be found athttp://www.vetmed.lsu.edu.

I was looking for a probate for Ellen Carey in Wanganui, I knew she lived there. Ellen was born 1877 and was given a lovely home by her grandmother to live in until she either died or married. So I expected her to die unmarried.
I found a probate for Ellen Carey around about the right date and place and ordered it up at Wellington National Archives. But this Ellen Carey I'd found had married a William Carey. She could not be mine I guess, but stranger things have happened.
Yet when I went online to do a death search at births, deaths and marriages, the entry did not come up. It could be one of those missing ones I guess. I'll have to check the fiche records.

Alleged gunman in Hove shooting looked "pretty trained", court hears
5:00am Friday 24th January 2014 in News By Anna Roberts, Crime reporter
A man who saw his brother shot dead in the street told a court the gunman "looked pretty trained – like he was an army man".
Ismail Zeneli yesterday gave evidence at the trial of Edmund Nela, accused of murdering Xhem Krasniqi.
Mr Zeneli was in a car with his brother and their nephew Kelmed Murataj when they saw Nela in Church Road, close to the junction of Selbourne Road, Hove.
He told the jury at Hove Crown Court they pulled over and got out of the vehicle at 11pm on May 18 last year and the 31-year-old Nela started shooting.

Mr Zeneli used his hands to show how Nela was holding the gun.
Nela said he was going to kill them all, the court heard.
Explaining how he was "in shock" to see someone shooting at him, he added: "I did not expect someone in the middle of Brighton to point a gun at me."
He hid behind a car as Nela ran off.
Mr Zeneli, who lives in the city, said he briefly chased Nela on foot before going over to his 32-year-old brother, who was prone on the floor.
"I was trying to be with him," he said.
"People were telling me 'talk to him'.
"But he would not talk anymore.
"There were many people there."
Describing his brother, Mr Zeneli said they were close and spent most weekends together despite Mr Krasniqi and his wife and children living in Kent.
On the day of the shooting Mr Zeneli and Mr Krasniqi had watched football together on television.
Recalling this, he said: "He liked Chelsea, I liked Man U. We had dinner – like brothers."
His nephew Mr Murataj was also cross-examined yesterday, having told jurors how Nela shot at him and his relatives as they pulled over to talk to him.
Simon Mayo, defending, said this was not true.
Mr Mayo, speaking directly to Mr Murataj, said they had gone looking for Nela.
"You deliberately went to Church Road to lay in wait for him," he said.
He said they were waiting near Restaurant Forty-One, where Nela's wife Victoria Gale worked.
"Edmund Nela was ambushed. You jumped out your car," he added.
Nela, of no fixed abode, denies murder, two counts of attempted murder, one of possessing a firearm and one of possessing a firearm to cause fear of violence.
The trial continues.
