Very High Voltage Amp Output Stage
I have seen a couple of companies online that produce very high voltage amplifiers (on the order of +/- 1kV output swing).
One such company is Trek Inc. www.Trekinc.com In their brochure, they give a block diagram as to how their product works, and if I may summarize it, the output stage is a bunch of cascoded mosfets (with a very high voltage bipolar supply) with each mosfet gate driven from an optoisolator. ==> I thought optoisolators were nonlinear; how can an output stage be driven from an optoisolator with the signal integrity still preserved? |

What use is it for you?
Their biggest model can only put out 400mA at ±1KV. "Large Signal Bandwidth (2% Distortion) DC to greater than 2.5 kHz." "Small Signal Bandwidth (-3dB) DC to greater than 20 kHz." Model 30/20A High-Voltage Amplifier I use an AR Inc unit at work that can do ±15KV, but at only 3.5mA There are some class D amps with IGBTs that can do ±1KV at several KW, maybe that's what you need? |

==> I thought optoisolators were nonlinear; how can an output stage be driven from an optoisolator with the signal integrity still preserved? Simply use feedback! More serious is that they are noisy! snip: djk Their biggest model can only put out 400mA at ±1KV. Trek is THE company for high voltage amps: http://www.trekinc.com/products/+5kV.asp http://www.trekinc.com/products/5-80.asp for example! Regards Heinz! |

Gerhard, I don´t need it but they use it On the other hand if noise is not the issue I think also that this is a simple way to steer a long chain of c 1200V N-igbts/mosfets EQUALLY at high slewrate! Regards Heinz! |

I know that these high voltage amps are not exactly audio quality, I was just wondering how to drive an output stage using optoisolators. How would they be connected?

U.S. Grains Fall as Russia-Ukraine, Winter Weather Fears Subside
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. grain commodities fall to yearly lows as favorable weather conditions and lessening conflict in Ukraine will likely lead to more supply in 2014.
As seen in the chart below, commodity exchange traded funds Teucrium Wheat Fund
(WEAT), Teucrium Corn Fund
(CORN), and Teucrium Soybean Fund
(SOYB) are currently trading near their lows on the year.
WEAT data by
Over the past month, up to six times the normal amount of precipitation fell in parts of Iowa and Illinois, where the largest U.S. growers of corn and soybeans reside.
Stock Market Today: Dow Slips Below 17,000 as Earnings Season Gets Under Way
Stock Market Today: Stocks' Record Run Ends on Eve of Earnings Season European Stocks Fall on U.K. Manufacturing Slump Close to three-fourths of the nation's corn and soybean crops were in good or excellent condition as of Sunday, according to the Department of Agriculture. This is a drastic reversal from earlier in the year when winter storms in the first quarter were believed to have severely affected U.S. crop yields, crimping overall production. If the warm, rainy weather continues, it is likely corn and soybean yields will reach record levels this year the USDA estimated. Meanwhile, wheat prices have fallen as speculation mounts that larger global crops will increase world stockpiles, offsetting poor U.S. production. There was a fear earlier in the year that civil conflict between Ukraine and Russia, two of the largest wheat exporters in the world, would lead to supply disruptions of world stockpiles, leading to a steep run-up in the price of wheat. As peace talks ensued and conflict has calmed, however, the price of wheat has fallen as well. Now that winter storms have passed and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia has somewhat diminished, prices for grain commodities should stay near their lows for the remainder of the year. At the time of publication, the author had no position in any of the funds mentioned.

Who is liable for business rates after a lease has been disclaimed? Despite a valiant attempt by the landlord in Schroder Exempt Property Unit Trust & Anor v Birmingham City Council [2014] EWHC 2207 (Admin) to persuade the court to the contrary view, the effect of a disclaimer of a lease by a liquidator is to end the lease, so that the landlord's reversion is accelerated, the landlord becomes the person entitled to immediate possession, and is therefore the person liable for business rates.
From 30 June 2014, the Land Registry has stopped requiring original documents to be sent to it when applying by post to change the register of a registered property. The Land Registry only requires certified copies of deeds or documents to be sent in with Land Registry application forms. The Land Registry's prescribed forms have been altered so that margin notes now make this change of practice clear:

Despite being branded a jinx for the football teams he backs, Dartford's Sir Mick Jagger is refusing to take the blame for Brazil's World Cup thrashing on Tuesday, which he watched live in Belo Horizonte.
The Rolling Stones frontman and former Wentworth Primary School pupil, who was pictured at the Mineirao stadium with his son Lucas, looked on as the tournament hosts were beaten 7-1 by Germany.
Yesterday the 70-year-old told the Sun: "I can take responsibility for the first German goal but not the other six!"
While it might be seen by some as adding a touch of star quality when a celebrity supports a particular team, Brazil fans were less than impressed - even carrying pictures of the musician in a Germany shirt ahead of the game in the hope they would win.
He has been dubbed ''pe frio'', which has been translated as "cold foot" and describes the bad luck he supposedly brings.
The joke around Sir Mick's bad luck has grown since he backed his home country with a "Let's go England" tweet just before they were beaten by Uruguay, followed by incorrect predictions that Portugal, and then Italy would win their matches.
Luciana Gimenez, the rocker's former lover and mother of his son Lucas posted a message on Instagram yesterday appearing to defend Sir Mick from "bullying" online.

Hot answers tagged seating
First time I've heard of this, and I think it's nonsense. There is a strong social convention that people should give up their seats (not just the designated priority seats) for elders, very young kids, the disabled/injured and pregnant. Nobody will be offended or think you rude for doing that. They might call you out if you don't. The recipient most likely ...
No, you do not have any right to stop the person in front from reclining, and yes, it's childish behaviour on your part to try to stop them. Everybody on a plane has the right to recline their own seat, and flight attendants can and will enforce this if asked.
You put "rest" in quotation marks, but maybe they really do need to recline: they might be sick, ...
I have never before noticed this, but a quick check over several airlines at Seatguru confirmed that other airlines do that as well.
The logic behind this is that the letters A and K will always be window seats. The letter K is chosen, because it's the highest that you can go in a normal airplane with 10 seats across (An A380 for instance). I is omitted ...
I live in Japan (Tokyo) and no one gives up their bus or train seats unless the standing person is clearly incapable of standing for long (old, injured, pregnant). Then they are fairly good about it. What's really entertaining is watching two elderly people with canes / walkers etc. arguing about which one of them need the seat more. And it's the "good" ...
It is not a pleasant situation for either of them - the passenger or the large passenger. It is very uncomfortable for the passenger and totally embarrassing for the large guy. In addition to that, it is uncomfortable and embarrassing for the staff.
Unfortunately, there is no one single rule that applies here; each airline has its own policy regarding ...
The reason why airlines implement a policy of asking overweight people to get two seats is an air safety issue of whether they can be strapped in properly. The guideline used for this is whether a passenger can fit between the armrests. If a passenger requires two seats, then the policy differs from airline-to-airline if/what the passenger should be charged ...
The wait list system for Indian train tickets is simply a case of supply and demand - there's so many people wanting to travel and only so many seats to go around. So there are three 'booking statuses' which may be specified when you book a train ticket:
Reserved / confirmed: The booking is confirmed and a seat has been set aside for you. Note that the ...
Get a Window Seat
When I reserve a seat on train (or a plane, for that matter), knowing that I would like to sleep during the journey, I often book a window seat. That way I can lean my head on the window, rather than having it hanging in the void, causing me to wake up every ten minutes as soon as the neck ache kicks in. Moreover I place a ...
Such a list would not be meaningful. All airlines have wide rules to prohibit "tampering" with seats, with Knee Defenders or otherwise; you can improvise one with a well-sized bottle, after all. Those that point out the Knee Defender as banned are only making it explicit that this specific device is not allowed.
More to the point, if the passenger unable ...
Firstly, good on you for being concerned about her and asking about it on a public forum where others who may not be able to can hopefully benefit from this as well. I hope you come back with your findings from the airlines/trips they take!
Basically, it comes down to the airline. You can see what their policy is by looking up their Conditions of ...
I am 6'3" and pushing 400 pounds and I have never had a problem on BA flights. Yes I need a seatbelt extension but only so I will be comfortable. I admittedly do fit between the armrests.
I do feel bad for people next to me because my shoulders are quite broad but I try to get an aisle seat so I can at least lean out.
Since your mother is travelling with ...
An important factor is that seats closer to an exit improve your chances after a crash landing, in case the plane catches fire (very common) or sinks underwater.
Contradicting the Popular Mechanics study, the University of Greenwich found that
A seat up to five rows from an exit offers a better than even chance
of escaping if there's a fire, ...
This question is hard to answer, there are many types of crashes. If the plane stalled most likely it will fall down on its aft side. If the plane spins then god knows! and if the plane splits into pieces while air borne then no one is safe!
Let's talk about normal crash landing where the pilot is forced to land the plane in a desert or a field or any ...
From a former cabin crew's point of view, there are two issues here:
1. Waking the passengers up:
This is done for two reasons actually:
Safety reason: It is a good practice for the airlines to wake passengers up whenever possible, the real reason behind that is checking if the passenger is ok or not. Many cases of very sick passengers (incapacitated) ...
A non-exit row window seat is just like any other normal seat, except with a view. You have no additional requirements to sit in that seat.
The individuals who sit in the exit row have additional responsibilities. They're required to receive a briefing beforehand from the attendant, who will explain what they will be required to do in an emergency ...
It would appear not, but there's nothing stopping us from creating one. People can edit the answer as we find more.
Airlines that ban the Knee Defender

I live in Japan and every day commute with trains and metro. And can assure you that nobody will think you are rude by offering the seat.
From my personal experience:
I have a rule to always give up my seat to
Disabled/injured people
Pregnant women (in Japan they wear a badge like this ...
You do not have much options, but you can always try one of the following:
Simply move to an empty seat: After boarding is done and doors are closed, move to any empty seat within the same class. Flight attendants will not mind.
Ask other passengers to swap: Be smart and ask people who are not with family or friends so it will not be a problem for them to ...
There is an article regarding this subject in AirSpace Magazine. The basic reason is safety in case of a crash or other impact:
Seat in the upright position is locked and doesn't present an issue if there is an impact
During the FAA research back in 1988 it was found that bracing in the upright position is safer then in reclined.
Reclined seats make it ...
On long haul flights there are often seats reserved for crew rest. One crew works 5 hours or so then changes clothes and goes to those seats to eat, read, gossip and possibly sleep. The other crew, who was in those seats, changes and takes over duties. They use the very back row because it's close to where working crew hang out during the flight anyway.
There's several conditions you'll have to meet to sit in an exit row, such as being in good health. If you meet those, I don't think you have to worry.

I can't figure out if you are mainly asking about regulations or about possible differences between planes from the same model that might interest a traveller. If you want more details on the former, you might consider asking on the aviation sister site but regarding the latter, there are definitely differences.

I think the diagram you posted is misleading, I am a qualified cabin crew for 777-300 and all other variations of 777, the last seat in the diagram shows an empty space in the middle which I think is not correct.

So, there are two mechanical solutions to, what is, fundamentally social problem, but before I provide them, I want to make clear that employing these is an easy way to be regarded as a jerk by your fellow passengers, and not without merit; the seat is designed to recline, and while putting it back can be inconsiderate, restricting the use of the feature by ...
There's really two different issues here - that of pre-selecting seats, and that of how check-in works with multi-airline itineraries.
As far as pre-selecting seats, every airline has different policies. Specifically for SAS, they allow you to pre-select seats only if you has elite status with their frequent flyer program (Eurobonus Gold), or on flights ...
The answer depends on the number of people travelling with you and the age of the infant. If you have an extra seat for your infant, you are required to bring your child seat that you use in your car on board. This results in even more baggage. Also you can only be sitting at certain rows, since an additional oxygen mask is required.
If your child is still ...
Lifehacker actually has a post about ways to find out which seats are actually non-reclining, so that you can try and book the seats behind them.
A similar article of theirs shows the (meaner) option of blocking the seat with something like a water bottle.

If you have a baby flying with you:
Take the first row of the zone you are setting in. First rows are usually where the fittings for the baby basinets are available. Also, you will be close to toilets to change diapers and so.

I give my seat pretty often in Tokyo.
I can tell that it is never rude.
On the contrary they are very grateful, so much that usually I prefer to keep a distance afterwards.
Also sometimes they won't accept it to avoid bothering you, so I insists and say that I will get off soon anyway.
First off, do you have a diagnosis from your doctor, with a letter stating this? It could be useful, and I'll get to that.
If you have time before the flight to get a letter, and potentially a prescription, the doctor may have some suggestions or medicine to help you cope with the flight - something to relax you.

In which Alleycat finds himself in a moral quandary
So, recently I've come into a situation that is unusual to me, by that I mean one where I'm being asked to bend my usual code of ethics, and I find myself fairly agreeable to the request.
A long term friend of mine, (lets call her Freyja) and I have had a mutual latent attraction which we never acted on for a number of reasons, mostly due to us being in various other committed relationships which wouldn't have meshed well with the others situation (hers being generally monogamous but occasionally fraught with infidelity, mine being normally triads, V's or occasionally...... Ok, habitually FWBs/one nighters, and being married at the time) Now, freyja and I have several things in common, (and not altogether happy things) we both have very similar skeletons in our respective closets, commonality of personal baggage and scar tissue from previous relationships, and certain tendencies related to sex as well as a few traits in common how we "adjust" our partners. This gives us a very specific and intimate understanding of how and why each of us is wired and behaves a certain way, which tends to lead us to a fairly perverse flavor of honesty with each other. Recently some of the barriers to us acting on our mutual attraction have disappeared, and we ended up acting out lightly on some of our urges (frankly we're both 1000% more comfortable with someone once there's been some sexual contact with that person), and it turns out the attraction was quite a bit more than physical, and we're both interested in presuing things further. The issue (and poly angle) is; she currently has a boyfriend, who's she's deeply committed to, and with good reason. He's very good to her, has been there for her thru a lot of personal grief, understands to a degree a lot of her issues and history, and frankly he's a great guy. Hell I get along great with him. however; Whereas he'd likly be ok with her having a throw-away one night stand, we're both fairly certain he's not wired to accept ME suddenly becoming involved with her, which leads me to an issue where I don't want to have a negative impact on their relationship and potentially ruin something good for her, but knowing how me and her tend to behave, and why, it's fairly certain we won't be able to avoid the sexual aspect, and certainly have zero desire to cease any social contact with one another. So for the time being while she figures out how to work things so she can have her cake and eat it too, she's asked me for utmost discretion, and to keep things a secret for the time being, we both know at a certain point it becomes painfully obvious when I'm involved with someone, it's not like I haven't been someone's secret thing before, but the signs always show up eventually, so "Discretion" (meaning: omissions and lies as nessisary) would only be a short term solution, and one I'm not normally comfortable with. In fact the only reason I'd consider it is because of the potential damage that could be done with honesty at this point until she can work things out (potentially) on the other end of things. Sigh. More details to add tomorrow. -not looking for advice, just needed to vent. Thanks for scrolling down this far. |
Erm, if she wants polyamorous relationships, and he wants sort of a more open relationship where emotional availability and romantic attahment is restricted outside the relationship, why doesn't she acknowledge their incompatibility and move on? Maybe I'm old fashioned.
It sounds like you could just as easily ask Alleycat to move on to avoid the moral quandary or ask Freyja to move on to avoid lying to her BF. Leaving her BF leaves her in a decidedly not poly situation. It seems more reasonable to suggest to the BF that she wants two BF than anything else, and if he vetoes it then she can move on. If he doesn't freak out then she can get two cakes. |
Seems pretty clear what his boundaries for non monogamy are.
You say you're willing to consider breaking your moral code to avoid "potential damage". But that potential damage will only increase from what would likely be a temporary hurt if you stop now (Him: "You should have told me right away!") to what will likely be a devastating, scarring, relationship-ending hurt if you continue (Him: "You lied to me for how long, how often, about how many things?? You really don't respect me at all, do you... how can I ever trust you again?").
I urge you to look your motivation of avoiding potential damage square in the face and realize that you're looking at it in a self-serving way that will accomplish the opposite of your stated goal. If you actually want to give the two of them time to work this out, step back and give them that time, rather than fuck her behind his back and then expect him to realize that poly is a great idea once the truth comes to light... because it *will* come to light, it always does, sooner or later. All that lying will do is ensure this never works out.
Me, 30ish bi female, been doing solo poly for roughly 5 years. Gia, Clay, and Pike, my partners. Davis, ex/friend/"it's complicated." Eric, Gia's husband. Bee, Gia and Eric's toddler. |
Also, I've gotta say... why do you even want to be romantically involved with someone who's perfectly willing to make a habit of lying to the face of someone she's supposedly deeply committed to, and who's a good partner to her? Why would you open yourself up to someone who's showing you that she's willing to expose her partners to emotional (being cheated on can really fuck people up) and physical (right now he thinks his STI risk is zero because he's in a mono relationship... except, nope, he actually can't make informed decisions about the level of risk he wants to accept, because he doesn't know who his partner is sleeping with) risks without their input? Doesn't exactly sound like a keeper to me.
I know you think you two have a special sort of honesty between you... but if she's willing to deceive him, then, buddy, sooner or later you're going to find out she's lying to you too... maybe about something really important.

Is Domain-Driven Design More than Entities and Repositories?
Jimmy Nilsson explains why DDD is different: it builds on collaboration and feedback, incorporates deep domain knowledge, having as end result: reduced complexity, testability, and maintainability.

Grows with baby from a high-contrast crib gallery to a unique floor puzzle. Discovering Shapes Crib Gallery is a great high-contrast toy in the crib or during tummy time. High-contrast patterns and primary colours stimulate baby's vision. Each shape has its own unique sound to awaken auditory awareness. Smiling characters engage baby during tummy time play.
As baby grows, remove the item from the crib to transform it into the Discovering Shapes Activity Puzzle. This puzzle introduces baby to problem-solving experiences. Shape and picture-matching promote cognitive and fine-motor development. Bright colours and fun sounds stimulate baby's senses. Clutching and holding shapes make little hands strong.
Very colourful & bright. Catches my 3 1/2 month old attention but has also amused her 22 month old sister! |
Fab book Ellie 17 Jul 2013 |
Keeps baby interested, she loves the black and white patterns. |
I would recommend this Sami 20 Mar 2013 |
This is great, I bought it for my eight month old twins - was a bit worried it would be too young, but they love it, there are lots of 'bits' to play with and it keeps them quietly attentive. |

Product is exactly as expected and is great for my 2.5 week old. He is becoming more alert and this is great for him to look at. We prop it up next to him and once he's in his cot we'll be using it there as well. |

Operating income in the Southern Resources segment was $22 million, an increase of $7 million from the $15 million reported during the second quarter of 2011. Both sawlog and pulpwood prices were slightly higher (approximately $1 per ton) than the levels reported for the second quarter of 2011. As planned, harvest volumes in 2012 were higher than those in the same period of 2011. The company's harvest continues to emphasize pulpwood and smaller diameter sawlogs to maximize long-term value of the forest. Pulpwood volumes were up 341,000 tons, or 21%, higher compared to the second quarter of 2011. The sawlog harvest was 406,000 tons, or 36%, higher, than the same period of 2011.
The Real Estate segment reported total revenue of $47 million and operating income of $29 million. Second quarter 2011 Real Estate segment revenue was $79 million, primarily consisting of $62 million of conservation transactions in the South. The second quarter 2011 operating income was $50 million. The 2012 sales consisted of $37 million of smaller rural land sales across the company's holdings and the completion of a $10 million conservation easement in the state of Maine as part of its Moosehead Lake Concept Plan.

Datura Inoxia White Moonflowers
Anyone who would like to grow these magnificent plants may do so regardless of what zone you live in
Datura, Not Brugmansia, are pretty well self propelled.
If you do not have the plant, I will later tell you how to start one.
Once they are established, you are good to go probably forever.
Datura can survive in full sun to more than partial shade, the less sun, the smaller the plant, and fewer flowers. The reverse is true, the more sun, the bigger the plant and the more flowers you get.
If your plant has an abundance of sun and is potted you are going to have to water, water, water, it or it will become "laggy". I live in New Jersey and it seems half day of sun about 4 hours seems to be best. Dry to moist soil in the pot, if they are in the ground they pretty much take care of themselves.
If you live in Zone 7 or higher these are Hardy and never die, Below Zone 7 they become annuals, However 1 decent plant will produce enough seed pods and seeds that even though the frost & freeze will kill off your plant(s) with little or in most cases NO effort you will have an abundance of plants, Probably much more than you ever wanted.
Take a small maybe 5 inch pot and fill it with potting soil, Wet the soil to almost mud,
Plant your seed(s) just under the soil. Maybe 1/8th or ¼ of an inch deep.
Keep the soil almost but not quite mud, once you see the slightest sign of a sprout cut the water back so that the dirt is moist, keep moist while plant grows, at the height of about 2-3 inches give it a little root enhancer if you like but not necessary. When plant is about 6 inches pot it in a BIG pot or put it in the ground. My plants grow to about 3 feet high x 3 feet in width and bloom from spring to first frost.
The main reason for my writing is I love these plants and have no problem sharing them, with others, within reason, anyone who would want to send me $2.50 US Dollars to cover S&H costs I will Mail to you two of these seed pods containing hundreds of seeds for you to plant. If you are interested email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will email you the address to send the $$$ to.
To plant the seeds they would have to be dried out, two ways to accomplish this
Let the seed pod dry out and crack open, VERY TOUGH on the fingers digging out the seeds from a dried pod as the thorns hurt, hence the name thorn apple,
Or you can open the soft pod, remove the seeds, which will be moist, lay them out on a paper towel and allow them to dry out for a couple days.
Please keep in mind all parts of these plants are POISION, They contain alkaloids that were used in the past as hallucinogens and today their leaves and flowers are used by some to get high, Not recommended as they can and often are fatal when ingested.
As I said, Once you get these plants in the ground, All you have to do is sit back and smell the blooms, This particular plant has a very enticing sweet smell that is predominant in the evening.
Do you have any pictures of your Datura inoxia? I have a few Daturas planted in my garden which I originally thought to be Datura inoxia, but I have been told that it is Datura wrightii by some knowledged people in response to an inquiry about the identity of the plants. That said, I am looking for Datura inoxia so that I can finally say for a fact that it is in my collection. Might you be interested in a trade?
I have another plant, which I have always identified as Datura wrightii, which has a nice bluish color to the bloom. You can see it here:
Here is the one I thought was Datura inoxia (It had me fooled!):

BT TV explained
BT's TV offering lets you watch what you want, when you want. With a BT Vision + or YouView box, you'll be able to pause, rewind and record all your favourite TV shows. You never need miss your favourite programme again.
TV from BT
BT's digital TV service gives you complete control over digital TV programming. Not only can you to control it in much the same way as a DVD or video, with the review, pause and fast forward buttons. You can also watch any programme at any time, meaning that you're no longer beholden to TV schedules.
Better still, though, is that BT also runs a great movie download service. This lets you choose from a selection of brand new movies to buy, which are downloaded to your Vision+ box or YouView box via your broadband connection. And perhaps even better still is that select movies are available to watch in glorious 3D.
How do the BT YouView box and BT Vision+ work?
The BT Vision + and YouView boxes are best described as digital recorders. Rather like a computer, they work by letting you store content on their onboard hard drives. They both also allow you to record up to 300 hours of TV.
BT's gadgets also work as a freeview set top box, so you'll be able to take control of how you watch channels on freeview. This also means that there's no need for a separate device in your sitting room.
Installing a Vision+ box or YouView box is easy. All you have to do is connect it to your existing TV aerial to get Freeview TV. It's then just a matter of hooking your set top box up to your broadband line via the BT Home Hub. It really is that simple.
Can anyone get BT TV?
In order to be able to get TV from BT, you need to ensure you fulfil these criteria:
1) You must have a BT residential phone line that provides a broadband connection speed of at least 2Mb. You can find this out by using uSwitch Tech's speed checker.
If you do not receive this speed, it doesn't necessarily rule you out. You may be able to dramatically boost your speed with the Broadband Accelerator service, whereby a BT engineer will pay you a visit to maximise your connection and boost your speed.
2) If you want to control Freeview digital TV, it stands to reason that you must reside in an area where Freeview TV reception is available.
Check your broadband speed with our broadband speed test**
Which programmes does BT TV offer?
Both BT YouView customers and those with Vision+ boxes can get all the Freeview channels and BT's hoard of movies, concerts and quality drama.
However, customers who take the Vision+ box can also sign up for Sky Sports channels. Right now, you can get Sky Sports 1 and 2, meaning that you can expect live Premier League football and a host of other crown jewels sporting events.
Yet more sports programming is available from ESPN on a subscription. Or you get it free if you choose selected Vision Single packs or Value packs.
These sports offerings are not available for YouView customers. However, that's not to say that YouView isn't without its advantages. Among these is the fact that although both boxes offer the chance to watch HD movie channels, the YouView box also features 4 HD Freeview channels.
What's more, BT YouView customers also get Dolby 5.1 surround sound and a greater range of on-demand and catch-up TV services.

All the oxygen which gets into the Bmw 325xi motor is never clear of particulates, so you need to install a top-of-the-line air filter to catch all the particles found in it. Developed for trapping even very small pieces of dirt, the Bmw 325xi air filter protects the vehicle powerplant from issues which might occur due to the existence of contaminants.
The efficiency of the air filter largely depends on the resources used in crafting the actual filter element—the best choice is cotton since the said material is capable of trapping much more airborne debris without becoming readily blocked. Getting the Bmw 325xi air filter that boasts of more folds is also suggested because this presents a bigger surface to which dirt could cling. The filter's overall construction must additionally be considered—the amount of forces in the intake assembly might be incredibly excessive, thus air filters ought to be sufficiently strong or they might quickly fall apart.
Parts Train is a reliable supplier when it comes to your desired premium Bmw 325xi air filter—we offer world-class auto parts that come equipped with a Low Price Guarantee. These pieces are provided by reputable manufacturers today—OES Genuine, Interfil, Green, BBK, and many others.

To increase industry R&D state governments should align state R&D tax credits with the Federal Alternative Simplified R&D tax credit.
Studies show that the research and development tax credit is an effective way of stimulating private-sector R&D. Moreover, state R&D tax credits appear to be even more effective than the federal credit. While 38 states in 2006 linked their R&D tax credits with the federal R&D tax credit, allowing firms to take a 20 percent credit on increased R&D funding, many states have not updated their tax code to link to the increased Alternative Simplified Credit, which rose from 12 to 14 percent.

I've been doing some digging around in this GF forum and there is some awesome info in here. One thing I haven't found is a partial boil GF IPA recipe. I'm a fairly new home brewer, and don't have a big setup yet, so I'm stuck with partial boils for now. Any suggestions? I like the look of igliashon's Grapefruit IPA, but was unsure of how to go about scaling that up to 5 gallons while keeping a partial boil.
Why not just do a 3-gallon batch instead? My reasoning for doing 3-gallon batches is this: I don't know what I'm doing, so there's a good chance my experiments will fail, so smaller = less waste. I've already produced three abject failures--2 gruits and a messed-up brain-dead attempt at an IIPA. That's 9 gallons of waste vs. 15! Also, full boils are better. I did partial boils for my first couple beers, and while the results were "okay" (after several months of aging!), switching to full-boils made for beer that was great right out of the fermentor. I simply *cannot* over-state the importance of doing full boils! Lastly, 3 gallon carboys are cheaper and smaller, so you can experiment more easily and more frequently. I can assure you, you are going to be experimenting A LOT. It's cheaper, and easier to get through 3 gallons of mediocre beer than it is 5 gallons. Bottling goes quicker, and you need less space to store the bottles. Also, you can feasibly brew more often this way, so you can try out more recipes and more ideas, and your turn-around time from when you get amazing new epiphanies to when you can actually apply in brewing will be shorter. You'll also end up with a larger variety of beers on hand to drink, so you don't get sick of each batch. Right now I've got my pick of 8 or 9 different batches of my own homebrew to drink. Some of those batches are crap, but having the variety available lets me pick away at them instead of trying to slog through as fast as possible so there's room to make the next batch. If you absolutely MUST do a partial boil, take the recipes you like from here, go to hopville.com and use Beer Calculus to scale the recipes--match the original recipe's gravity and IBUs and you should be fine. The Beer Calculus app will automatically compensate for your reduced hop utilization from the smaller (and more concentrated) boils. It's a great little app and makes tweaking recipes a lot more fool-proof.
@OP Yeah I boil about 3 gallons of water with the sorghum and hops. Cold crash. And then top up with clean water (I use cheap bottled water). You will lose some bitterness doing it this way but just put a couple of extra grams of hops in. In Big W (our version of walmart) they sell 5 gallon pots for $20, which I'm still able to heat up half full with my ****ty stove.
My gluten free home brewing blog.http://gfhomebrewing.blogspot.com/ Drinking: Hopped Honey IPA Fermenting: 2 Ciders with S-33 Yeast, Summer Pale Ale and a West Coast IPA Planning: Belgian Triple, Blood Orange Wit and American IPA All gluten free.
I just bottled my first gluten free beer, it was an IPA, and I did a partial boil. The recipe is here: http://hopville.com/recipe/1333155/a...luten-free-ipa In fact, it being my first boil/cold crash, I struggled a little with cooling, which took about an hour. I also pre-boiled the top-up water, which John Palmer had insisted in How to Brew would cool in time. So everything was a little hot (about 28 celsius) when I pitched, but it seemed OK come bottling time. So far, so good. I'll know in 2 weeks how it came out. Oh, and +1 to Beer Calculus. I found it really useful.
Thanks for the input. It sounds like I'm better off upgrading my equipment and going with full boils. I didn't realize partial vs. full boil was that different in terms of beer quality.
I'm curious (and confused) what would cause you to not be able to do a full boil? Just not having a big enough pot? You only need to boil 2 gallons or so right? Or is that what you mean by a partial boil?
I didn't realize there that big a difference either. Hmmmm, now I'll DEFINITELY need a wort chiller.
I'm not too convinced that there's that much of a difference yet. I think I've mentioned before that one main we look at is alpha acid utilization from the hops, assuming we're doing an all extract beer. Lower utilization may mean too much sugar, or not enough water. I wish I could do a side by side of no-boil vs full boil, but I've been lazy and have just been going no-boil for extract beers but I haven't noticed an issue, and neither have my testers. I do often wonder about the calcium carbonate reaction with sorghum vs heat though. For grain, that's different. Full boil all the way.

'Thought of sex is always on my mind'
- Posted by Moderator: Biju Mathew
- Published 9:15 January 29, 2013
Physical desire is there in most people and some people have it much more than othrs. It is absurd to suggest that going to gym and playing video games will make this natural desire disappear as one commentator has said. The OP has to marry and that is about the only solution
Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
first and Fore most please get married. This is a legitimate way of getting rid of your sexual desires
Faizan jawed, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Most of the MEN have this problem as you have. I hope its a natural call & due to some harmone issues. Your case is bad, before it gets worst, please seek medical help, else this problem will affect your future married life.
Haja, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
same is my problem , i try to make friends , meet them talk positive, go to gym , watch comedies, laughter is the best medicine. try to do charity , whatever religion u r , try to pray . Do not watch too much porn . being in optimum scale is good , after all sex is also a need for human beings. if possible marry , find a nice partner .This will reduce your stresses too.. :)
amir, dubai, United Arab Emirates
Why hasn't anyone told him to 'Get Married' and lead a family life? It's a part of life and it's a necessity in everyone's life.
Chamlika, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
In my view you should get married asap and resolve your tension. There is no other wayout for this.
khurram, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
please some helping tips: 1- try to get time for pray at any cost 2- try to go / join Gym as soon as possible. 3- concentrate on your work, if you feel some bored in office atmosphere, just go little while with a colleague outside and refresh yourself. 4- dont think negative always be in positive mood. 5- spend some time in Video games. after this above tips, you will never feel bored or any sexual thinking.
waqar, dubai, United Arab Emirates
In my view boredom and lack of motivation is the source of the other problems. Find objectives and work your way up to them. Things that take time and perseverance, like sports or other skills (depending on your personality). Things that challenge you, push out the limits of your comfort zone. This provide you a structured context, that requires systematic activities and focus. It will feed your sense of accomplished and drive away your need of treating your boredom with sexual pleasure.
S, Muscat, Oman
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous asks: I am a 28-year-old unmarried man.
My problem is that I feel bored at work. Most of the time, I don't enjoy the company of my colleagues. I have the urge to get out of office as early as possible and sometimes I get out of office early. Also, I have an increased libido drive. Thought of sex is always on my mind. Nowadays, I keep searching for porn videos and think of sex all the time. I am losing my concentration.
I want to get married as early as possible. Sometimes, while watching material that gives me sexual pleasure I indulge in tickling myself. After that, I feel energetic, but the next day I feel lazy again.
Please give me some tips to overcome this problem.
Karine Yazbek, (Clinical Psychologist, LightHouse Arabia, Dubai) replies: From what you are describing it looks like there are two main issues going on: Increased libido, which is leading to frequent need for sexual activities, and overall lack of motivation and energy that is manifested by decreased concentration and need for isolation.
The fact that you are unhappy at work adds to your other feelings a slight trait of depression, which you might be dealing with by developing addiction to sex (to manage your boredom).
I think you need to develop other alternatives than purely sexual because you run the risk of becoming addicted to it, especially porn movies and it will take away the possibility of finding other ways to cope with your discomfort.
When any activity becomes compulsive it can impair one's functioning.
I suggest you limit your sexual activity and try to identify exactly what is going on in your thoughts.
If you are unhappy at work try to resolve what is not working or find another job.
Now, you could be unhappy because you are bored and want to isolate in order to indulge in sexual activity. If this is the case, try to establish a list of activities that you use to enjoy such as exercising, photography, reading etc... Try to set some objectives in your life that are healthy. This will help your mind switch focus from sexual activities to other tasks that are also pleasurable.
Increased libido might be associated with a mood disorder called bipolar disorder, so if you experiment periods when you feel your energy increases and sleep decreases, if you feel that you are spending much more money than usual or your self esteem is getting inflated it is preferable to seek professional help.
I hope I was able to help.

"This save the date postcard turned out just wonderfully! The paper and print quality are excellent. My mother and future mother-in-law both received numerous phone calls from everyone in their families saying how precious the cards were. On top of all that, they arrived quickly and having a designer proof the design before they are printed really puts your mind at ease."
"The font/format and layout of the card was simple and classic. The color and image were clear, and the paper quality was thick cardstock so the sharpies I wrote with didn't bleed through or show through the front. It turned out better than I expected."
"This card was above and beyond my expectations. The print, the paper quality, the customer service was superb! We added a personalized photo and saying. It was a little long for the example, but I worked with an amazing customer service representative named McKensie. She was awesome and without her these save the dates would not have been so wonderful and personalized to our wedding."
"I had looked at a few websites and l really liked the format of this card with our engagement photos (because the words didn't cover either of our faces) and the text was very easy to personalize. They came in the mail the next week and we have already gotten compliments on how cute they are."
"Wedding paper divas was the right choice for us when ordering our save the dates. I really appreciate how many different styles there are to choose from. My fiancé and I found a layout that was perfect for us. The quality was great. The price was affordable, and the turn around & delivery time was very fast. The personalizing, and ordering was simple ans straightforward. I will be using wedding paper divas for my wedding invitations, and reckoned in them to family and friends."

Rangers turn to Feliz and lose 2-1
By Todd Wills
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The
Texas Rangers
found themselves in a bullpen dilemma on Friday night in a tie game against the
Kansas City Royals
Out of choice options, they went to one-time closer
Neftali Feliz
, who threw four pitches -- all balls -- with the bases loaded to force in the go-ahead run. The Rangers were left to deal with a 2-1 loss to the Royals that further tightened the American League wild-card race.
How it came down to Feliz is an interesting story.
Manager Ron Washington was asked before the game if Feliz was ready to close a game if other options --
Joe Nathan
Tanner Scheppers
Neal Cotts
Joakim Soria
, in particular -- were unavailable because of a heavy workload.
It led to a healthy debate among the manager and his inquisitors and yielded an answer that could only truly be made after seeing Feliz in a pressure situation. After all, he had pitched in only five games after missing 13 months recovering from Tommy John ligament replacement surgery.
Well, that pressure moment, with more than 30,000 Royals fans on their feet, ended up happening seven hours later.
Jason Frasor's eighth-inning jam begat Neftali Feliz's letdown and a crushing Rangers loss.
Jason Frasor
, who has had a brilliant season, actually started the bottom of the eighth on the mound for the Rangers. He got two quick outs and looked like he was headed to a 1-2-3 inning.
Lorenzo Cain
battled him for a single up the middle, and
Mike Moustakas
blooped a single over shortstop
Elvis Andrus
' glove into left field for a single to move Cain to third. Frasor ended up walking the bases loaded after getting ahead of pinch hitter
David Lough
with a 1-2 count but failing to put him away.
With the bags full and Frasor at 26 pitches, Washington needed another option out of the bullpen.
He wasn't going to Scheppers -- who had pitched in three straight games -- unless it was absolutely necessary, e.g., extra innings. Or Soria, who had pitched in back-to-back games Tuesday and Wednesday. Cotts had already done his work, getting four outs.
Scheppers had told pitching coach Mike Maddux he could go if needed after throwing 28 pitches in his three consecutive appearances, which meant extra innings if necessary.
"If we had to use him [we would have]," Washington said. "Other than that, I can't hurt the kid."
So Washington decided on Feliz, a highly risky move just because -- again -- he hasn't pitched much. And Feliz showed the rust, guiding four pitches up to the plate, none of them close to the strike zone.
"I was frustrated that I wasn't able to locate the ball," Feliz said. "I understand that's part of the game. I'll keep my head up and try tomorrow."
Frasor could only watch. He was so close to getting out of the inning a couple of times -- at first, it looked like Andrus would catch Moustakas' flare, and Frasor made Lough look bad early in the count -- but it didn't come out in his favor.
"It stinks when you to have to be taken out for someone else," Frasor said. "That's a tough spot for Nefti."
Yes, it was.

I took my son to our local pet store, and he was fascinated by the African dwarf frogs. He wanted me to buy a pair, but I said I would write to you first and get your opinion.
My son is 10 years old and loves animals, and I want to encourage his interest. The store manager told me the frogs were not taken from the wild but were "captive-bred."
D.K.W., Sarasota, FL Sep 12, 2011
Captive-bred or not, these are not domesticated animals, and they require proper habitat and special care. During the last couple of years, this variety of frog has caused salmonella infections in more than 200 people, most of them under the age of 10, and some 30 percent had to be hospitalized. Fortunately, there were no deaths. Terrapins (water turtles) pose a similar hazard.
While your son might be able to follow strict hygiene measures, I would not run the risk. Encourage him instead to join a local nature club or Audubon Society and learn about the wildlife in your state. Some school districts, in collaboration with municipal zoos, wildlife rescue and rehab centers and conservation organizations, have excellent in-field programs for children and internships for those in high school that can lead to a meaningful career or avocation.
