Likes: Quiet, comfort, gas milage
Dislikes: Insufficient damping on rear shocks
Review: "The first thing you notice is how quiet and smooth it is. It's a little lumpy at idle, but once underway, the engine is glass smooth and very quiet.
The brakes are really really good. I think part of this is due to the Combi-Braking Honda copied from BMW motorcycles. Two fingers on the brake lever is all that is required for hard braking.
The acceleration is very good and again very smooth. The tach jumps to 5000 RPM and it jumps up to 100 kph in a very short time. I haven't timed it yet, I'll need to take my iPad on in with an app that measures 0-100 kph with the accelerometer and GPS receiver. The engine braking is better than I expected with a CVT.
The rear shocks are a bit bouncy. They really need a bit more damping, especially with two-up riding. Perhaps I'll look into getting Ohlins for it later on. But only if they have adjustable damping.
Gas consumption is great. I'm getting 30Km/liter which is about 70 mpg. The riding position is good and comfortable. I appreciate the backrest a lot. I have only had it up to 120 kph so far, and it is rock solid. The tach reads 6500 RPM at 120, and there is a lot left to go. I think 140 is attainable easily."

Review: Purchased 4 days ago...have put on 200 miles, city/highway mixed. Traded in my 2005 Reflex with 6000 miles. Purchase prce of 5,600.00 very palatable considering Kymco Downtown 300i is priced the same and this is a Honda.
Forza looks great...updated styling. Sport bike'ish looking. Turning heads. Great in the back road twisties as well as weaving through city traffic. Nice comfort items such as locking ignition and 12 volt outlet. Excellent acceleration through all speeds. Fuel-injected, smooth power up to 75 MPH. (Have not taken it past that yet.)
Legroom seems a little shorter and the seat is a little lower than the Reflex...having trouble finding a comfortable seating position. I am 5'10". Have ordered Honda's taller windshield (7.5"), hopefully will reduce wind against my chest at speed. No aftermarket touring windshield available yet that I can locate. Mileage on first tank was 74.6 mpg. So far, extremely pleased with the purchase. More observations to come!
Milage: 0 - 1000 Miles
Likes: Love the smooth ride, acceleration, good mileage. This replaced my 04 Aprilia Atlantic200 which I owned for 10 years and loved!! Very similar but more powerful
Dislikes: Do not like the low windscreen and cannot wait to find a taller one like my Atlantic had.
Review: I have owned my Forza for 3 weeks and have put 250 miles on it and so far. I love it. No issues, I love the red backlit gauges at night and it really gets noticed. Never thought I'd own a Honda as I had never like any of their other styles but I immediately fell in love with this machine as soon as I saw it. I bought the first one the local dealer delivered.
Milage: 0 - 1000 Miles
Likes: Comfort & fuel milage good, Power for cruising two lane roads in PA and up & down hills, Controls & gauges excellent
Dislikes: High center hard to put feet through must get on like a cruiser.
Review: I traded in a Zuma 125 for the Forza 300. I got 66mpg on first tank of fuel. It is smooth and easy to ride better than the HD Sportster which nets me 55mpg and the ride is very harsh. I am 62 and I buy stuff and putz around now. The under seat storage is good for the go get the little things like, wheat bread, cheese, hoagie, medium pizza, half gallon milk and a can of ice tea. It can cruise at 55 60 70 without difficulty and the Zuma had trouble at 50. The Harley crushes stuff, saddle bags. It corners well and is very quiet. Stealth in red. I like the handle bars you can put the controls where you like, on most scooters you are stuck where they are and can't change them. I like the floor boards you can put your foot where it is ok and your knee doesn't hurt slide forward or back or up on the slant no set spot like pegs. It is an automatic with hand control for braking. It weights less than the Harley Sportster 420 to 560 and the weight is lower.

Review: 2 Days and 200 miles into my Forza experience, I have ZERO buyers remorse. This is my 4th scooter and all have been a bit disappointing in different ways in actual use until the Forza, it beats all my expectations. It was a bit hard to swallow the price bump from the pcx 150 I had initially wanted but it was well spent, it's not nearly twice the price but its way more than twice the bike.
The ergonomics are about perfect aside from a big horn button that is easy to mistake for turn signals and I wish there was a dimmer for the dash as I ride some pitch black roads where the glare from the dash is not good. Headlights are a cut above most motorcycles and WAY better than your average small scooter. All the hatches, storage etc are perfectly laid out, nothing impedes anything else. You can have the seat up, storage boxes open and the steering locked with nothing rubbing. Seat comfort, leg position and bar reach are perfect for me. For shorter riders wanting a bigger scoot this bike can not be beaten, I think those over about 5'8" or 5'9" are not going to like the legroom but if you are 5'2" to 5'7" its juuuuust right. The laid back, feet up in front riding position lets me eat up miles with ease, feels like you are sitting inside the bike. Windshield could be taller but that is user preference, and can be swapped. I like the look of it so much I might just put up with a bit more wind.
Handling is excellent as is the braking, the linked rear brake handle has quite a different feel to it from the front is about the only observation I can make on that. It's transparent in operation and works well. My first ride was very harsh over bumps, checked the tire pressure set by the dealer and it was way off, 32 Front 35 rear...at the right set up of 25 29 the ride smoothed out greatly. Throttle settings on the EFI are spot on, no lurches at take off and the engine is quite smooth at running speed, its just a bit buzzy and lumpy under 15mph.
It's hard to come up with balanced cons for this bike so I don't sound like a gushing shill but the bottom line is that I LOVE my Forza.
Milage: 0 - 1000 Miles
Likes: Comfortable riding position, Mirrors well placed, Instrumentation, Headlights very bright, Good rear visibility with bright taillights, Large capacity fuel tank for a scooter
Dislikes: Low windshield (but already replaced with taller Honda one), Rear fender shaking as cycle is idling
Review: I have ridden scooters (as well as big cycles) for 39 yrs. and have had a variety of sizes and brands (Helix, Reflex, Burgman 400 and 650, Yamaha Morphous, Honda 50, Yamaha 125, and Honda PCX 150). The Forza ranks in the top 3 that I have owned and ridden many miles. Just scheduled my 600 mile service. The most I have ridden is 100 miles in a day and it was very comfortable as the seat configuration really helps support the lower back. There seems to be plenty of legroom even though I am 6'1".
My favorite type of scooter riding is on country roads where I don't have to continually shift gears on winding roads. Acceleration is very adequate for hills and passing. The bright red color makes the bike visible from a distance for harvest weary farmers.
Only one fill-up has registered under 70mpg with most being about 71-72 mpg. What a great machine for running errands or just riding for relaxation and fun.

Review: "I have ridden bikes for over 50 years, this is my first scooter. It rocks. From the moment I took off, I have loved nearly every aspect of the bike. The only technical complaints are that 1) at almost exactly 25mph, the CVT is a little noisy as the transmission tries to balance the pulley ratio, but that goes away very quickly; and 2) very sharp bumps do translate up to the drivers seat. Regardless, the overall performance is just excellent for a 300cc class machine. I will buy another as soon as this one wears out, or until my wife gets on it, and discovers how fun it is to ride.
I am keeping her away from it right now... :D"

Review: "I chopped my Piaggio X10 in for the Forza. I had a test ride & it was so much better than the Piaggio. I had to do a deal. I have no regrets. It's a great scoot, plus Honda after-sales service is excellent. I have done 860 miles so far. I can't wait for better weather so i can go farther afield. I'm averaging 72mpg so far. Most of the mileage is short journeys so i expect it to improve."
Milage: 1000 - 5000 Miles
Likes: Speed, comfort, styling, handling
Dislikes: Seat hump, small windshield (replaced with larger), small wheels
Review: "Bought 2 months ago. Have over 2000 miles. Have owned 25 bikes (6 scooters). There is a small vibration over 60. Most people don't notice it. It is normal but some freak out about it. The seat hump is too far forward. Seat is otherwise comfortable. I have ridden up to 400 miles in one day. Very nimble handling. Most scooter owners like the small wheels. I prefer larger wheels because I travel long distances often. My preference. Long intervals between service is great. A little bumpy with stock shocks. Stock horn is crap. Easy to work on for adding your own accessories if you are a do it yourselfer. Not as much get up and go as the Burgman 650 or Silverwing 600, but for 300cc, it does a great job.
After 17 fuel ups and approx 1/2 the time on freeways at 60+ I've averaged 65mpg. The speedo is the first bike I've had with accurate speed. Odo was off almost 1 mile after 185 miles. Dash display is pleasant. Easy to do simple maintenance such as oil change or adding your own top case. Plain handle bars makes it easy to add GPS, cup holder, or your smart phone. Power plug in left pocket that is rated at 2 amp. Will have to cut a small notch in bottom of door/seal to run power cord out for handle bar mounted accessories. Larger windshield will reduce your mileage about 2 mpg but is worth it to most. 40-50 mph will get you 68+ mpg, but faster, hills, and freeways will drop it.
Right pocket is large enough for a wallet, but left hold my air compressor, GPS plug, Lemon Pledge, and tire puncture kit. Left pocket has a removable tray that I guess is for your smart phone. Hand rails on rear are closed. Storage under the seat has a hump midway that reduces storage. I can still fit 2 full face helmets, but only if turned like they show in the promo videos. 1/2 the fuses are under the storage box and the other 1/2 are behind the right pocket, all only accessible by removing tupperware with the included screwdriver."

Dislikes: Stock screen, Seat lifting is wobbly and clumsy/keep bumping my head when putting things in, Storage space not as good as my previous bike (Honda 125cc SWing)
Review: "Back to having a scooter/bike for some fun 4 years ago after retiring at 64. I bought a Honda SWing 125 cc (European bike) which has to be the best 125cc bike ever designed. I just loved it so I was wary of changing but wanted bigger engine. Considered loads of options but decided not to move from Honda.
Travelled all over UK and Ireland on the SWing and it never blinked and really comfortable. Got my Forza a week ago from the dealer and I just think it is marvellous. Improvements from the SWIng I notice are increased acceleration (obviously) and it just sits on the road with no trouble. The lighter SWing was more affected by cross winds. I am 5ft 10ins and find it good for position and comfortable for me but if slightly taller I could see an issue. Too early for accurate mileage but seems to be delivering near to what is claimed.
Great Seal Silver colour (seems like only red is available in the States but we don't get the red one which from the pics looks good). Our version comes with ABS as standard and that is a big improvement from my SWing braking. Feels so much safer and with the larger tyres that helps as well. From first impressions, and from being wary of changing, I am just delighted I got the Forza."
Milage: 1000 - 5000 Miles
Likes: Comfort on highway, Quick power, Bullet proof durability.
Dislikes: Rear shocks, Short windscreen
Review: "I've been riding 47 years, never owned a scooter, and I'm glad I chose this Forza. I bought it 6-29-14, and have already put 3626 miles on it. I ride 100 miles a day to work and back and its all on the highway at 60-65 mph, and i know it will do a lot more. (I just don't see the need). When I started riding it, I could get 68 mpg, but now that it's broke in, I get a steady 65 mpg in all kinds of wind. I should mention that I'm 6ft.3in and weigh 200 lbs, so after I ride 100 miles I'm ready to get off. I just did my 3rd oil change and I put it on full synthetic 10w30 oil. This thing is rock solid, and bullet proof, and I'm gonna ride it until there's nothing left of it.Then maybe I will get a larger one. I have owned probably all the major brands, but i have never been able to destroy a HONDA!"

Milage: 0 - 1000 Miles
Likes: Feel, handling, controls, comfort, weight, storages, profiles, ire of my biking friends, being the envy of all.
Dislikes: Smaller wheels, slightly bumpy ride
Review: "I'm an athletic 61 year old with some riding experience. Previously owned a 2007 Aprilia Scarabeo 250 for over 2 years. Loved the Scarabeo but wanted to move to more modern and shopped around. Compared the Forza with the Burgman 200 which disappointed me in all categories in one ride.
Just had my 600 mile checkup and have loved every mile. Easy, predictable handling + excellent visibility for me and of me - especially in traffic. I ordered the ABS model due to my age and the tall windshield due my experience and glad I did both. Instrumentation is simple and intuitive.
Crazy amount of storage. I added the rack without the trunk box for future flexibility and it's solid and works very well. I'm 5'9" and all riding positions are very comfortable. At first it was so quiet someone thought it was electric but now is has a nice, throaty sound. Ample power for climbing Idaho mountain roads and controlled downhills. My Forza ABS has become a valuable and trusted element in my Wellness Toolbox (WRAP). I look forward to many years of therapeutic riding.
Still waiting for colorite.com to get the red touch-up paint. Did pick up and highly recommend www.GenuineCoolAss.com in XL seat cover. It's the best.

Review: "I got my Forza 300 from a Yamaha dealer, who were partnered with a Honda dealer in a different city. The salesmen didn't know much about it, but I had already done my research in terms of reviews etc.
The NSS300 Forza doesn't disappoint. There's the usual fractional lag from a standing start when you pin the throttle which nearly all CVT transmission scooters have, then it accelerates well for its size. I did expect it to be a little lacking in power based on some reviews, but I guess unless you're doing a side by side comparison with something else like a Kawasaki J300 or Vespa GTS300, it doesn't feel to me like it ought to be going faster than it is. I've just sold up my BMW R1150RT for something cheaper to run and easier to manage on urban commutes through London, so I do know what real grunt feels like. This scooter is perfectly adequate for its intended purpose.
It does take a full face helmet under the seat at the front of the compartment (I know there was some debate about that as some reviewers couldn't figure it out) and it'll take a small helmet at the back of the same underseat compartment. The build quality is excellent of course, no surprises there from Honda. The damping all round is a little hard, which makes it bang over bumps in the road - the super-plush seat absorbs that for the rider, but everything else on the scooter rattles and shakes, reminding you that it is mostly plastic, after all. Not ideal, but not a show stopper. I would consider buying better after-market suspension parts as a luxury item, rather than a necessity.
One item that IS a necessity though is the higher windscreen. I got this specifically to be able to urban AND motorway travel, rather than have 2 vehicles designed exclusively for each of those two purposes (the BMW and a Vespa PX). While it can do both with ease, it's like riding a naked bike without the higher screen - the wind hits you square in the chest. At least on a naked bike, you can lean into it, but with the laid back seating position and feet forward (even with the back support), that gets pretty tiresome after an hour or so. Also, just for weather protection in the UK you'll want one. I've fitted a GIVI topbox with brake light kit on the back. After riding unlit country roads in winter, I was a little dismayed at the strength of the headlights, even though there are 2 of them! The poxy HS1 bulbs are almost exclusively used in small bikes or scooters.. ie. they're not very powerful. I'm looking into getting HID upgrades, but there aren't many HS1 fit HID upgrades on the market and the issue of the headlight assembly and lens being all plastic could be a show stopper on that if the HID upgrades run hotter than the OEM bulbs. I'm actually surprised nobody else has mentioned this in any of the other user or professional reviews. The lights need to be more powerful.
Overall I'm very pleased. I like to do my own upgrades/work if I can, but alas, the model is so new there's not a great deal of info about how to strip them down. There's a Forza 300 section in the Honda PCX owners forum which is the best you'll get. It's pretty good, but not much else. You really do need to have that info too, because there's so much plastic bodywork, it's all tabs and pop studs, and very few actual screws or bolts holding it all together. So just by looking at it, you can't see where to approach it to take off the fairing panels.
I had my first (600 mile) service a couple of weeks ago, and they did a recall item under warranty (fuel pumps causing problems in some parts of the world), so Honda are replacing them all on the Forza 300 it seems. I feel very positive about the purchase though. I would recommend one to anyone who wants a frugal and reliable maxi-scooter. You can't really go wrong with a Honda, despite the fuel pump recall. I've had one other Honda before and it was the most reliable bike I've ever owned to date."

Review: "I've done just over 1,000 miles in my brand new Forza and have enjoyed almost every moment. The bike is very smooth running, very well equipped with storage, secure and attractive to look at. It cruises willingly at 70mph on the motorway and has enough poke to surge to 85 if needed. I love the fact that I can store my full biking regalia in the under-seat compartment and an added top-box. I have commuted 50 miles a day for nearly four weeks in the cold, rain and strong winds between Portsmouth and Southampton with no problems at all. The big lights mean good visibility to others. The smooth CVT aids nipping between lines of traffic. Very pleased. My only gripe is that, at 5'10" with long legs, the back rest is slightly too far forward for comfort."

Mike Manning Meets With Arkansas LGBT and Allied Youth While On the Road to Equality
September 16, 2011
Post by Mike Manning from the cast of The Real World:DC and former HRC intern.
Mike here! Zack & I just wrapped up an amazing "Coming Out for Equality" event at the Lucille Marie Hamilton Youth Center here in Little Rock, Arkansas. Tonight's program was in conjunction with Diverse Youth for Social Change (DYSC), a program of Arkansas' statewide LGBT group, the Center for Artistic Revolution. DYSC is a safe space where participants are encouraged to develop leadership skills, learn about ways to advocate for their lives, build healthy peer relationships, and have mentor support.
I had a great time meeting the youth of Little Rock's LGBT and Allied community, and encouraged these future leaders to remain involved in the LGBT movement and fight for full equality here in the deep South. I feel that the message of EQUALITY is being heard loud and clear this week in Arkansas, and this is just the beginning! Hearing the stories from this group of passionate youth really reinforces to me that we have a bright and prosperous future ahead of us, particularly when I look at the commitment of these individuals toward the fight to bring fairness and equal treatment to the LGBT Community.
Thus far in my career as an activist, and with all of the organizations I've been engaged with big and small, I can honestly say that tonight's event was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had –talking to youth, educating them about LGBT issues, and watching as the fuse is lit and the activism seed is planted.

Controls, Heating, Etc
Before I call my pool builder, I was curious if someone had some insight on what I have.
My pool is in the decking phase and we are probably 1.5 weeks from all that work being complete before the pool equipment is installed.
We have a "hybrid" heat system, that is a 400k BTU propane heater (for fast heat ups, etc) and a Electric Heat Pump. We do NOT have a spa (well we do, but it is portable, so doesn't fit into this equation).
Looking at the contract, I noticed we have a Hayward Goldline Pro Logic P4 with handheld Aqua Pod Remote. The description online describes the different Pro Logic models as follows:
PS-16 - Controls up to 16 high-voltage relays, 8 valves, 2 heaters and solar
PS-16V Â Controls up to 8 high-voltage relays, 8 virtual functions, 8 valves, 2 heaters and solar
PS-8 Â Controls up to 8 high-voltage relays, 4 valves, 2 heaters and solar
PS-8V Â Controls up to 4 high voltage relays, 4 virtual functions, 4 valves, 2 heaters and solar
PS-4 - Controls up to 4 high voltage relays, 4 valves, 2 heaters and solar
P-4 Â Controls up to 4 high-voltage relays, 3 valves, 1 heater and solar
We clearly have two heaters. I am hoping they meant PS-4 not P4, right? Or is there some trick I don't know about. The P4 does list solar, but clearly solar systems are different then the Heat Pump from a control point of view, right?
Also, we are having ColorLogic LED lights installed, but since we are doing it for an efficiency point of view, not for the fancy colors (our pool builder threw them during negotiation, but not with the proper controllers). From the goldlinecontrols website (which is absolutely horrible about breaking out which products they have), they imply that lighting is an add on module to the Aqua Plus. Is this something I can add on later?
From the website the options for the Pro Logic are:
Sense and Dispense, Total Pool Chemistry Automation
Salt Chlorination
Remote Control - Wireless and Wired
Aqua Connect, Home Automation Interface
ColorLogic LED Lights Automation
Virtual Control
I know that Salt Chlorination and Remote Control are included, but I can't for the life of me find out how to add these in the future and how much it costs (again, I am avoiding asking my pool builder until I have all the information, but I want to make informed decisions on any change I make).
When it comes to heat control the guys at Goldline did it right. The Aqualogic systems can control: gas, heatpump, and solar. You can use them seperatly, or set up the heatpump as preferred. This is the only system that allows seperate control of more then one heater.
Beyond that Hayward bought the company and now it s--ks.
Just my opinon of course.
But will work well with your setup.

George Lucas Wanted to Direct 'Star Wars: Episode 7′
Last month, George Lucas was asked if he had seen the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer, and what his reaction was. He said he hadn't watched the 'Force Awakens' trailer, had no plans to and was "not really" interested in the movie. We made him sad, we wrote at the time. But, maybe it wasn't us that made him sad. While out promoting his new animated movie 'Strange Magic', Lucas reveals that he himself wanted to direct 'Star Wars: Episode 7'.
James Cameron Says 'Avatar 2' Delayed Until 2017
Not long ago, we wondered aloud why James Cameron's 'Avatar' had been largely forgotten about only five years later, despite being the biggest movie of all-time. It doesn't even seem like there is a lot of anticipation for 'Avatar 2', which Cameron is developing concurrently with Parts 3 & 4. Well, people will suddenly have a little more time to start getting excited for an 'Avatar 2', because Cameron announced today that the upcoming sequel has been pushed back a full year, to December 2017.
'The Interview' to Begin Streaming Online Starting Today; $6 to Rent, $15 to Buy

But, following yesterday's news that 'The Interview' will run in select theaters on Christmas Day, comes more details on their plans to simultaneously stream the film online.
George Lucas On 'Star Wars: Episode 7:' "Not Really" Interested in the Movie
Pretty much everyone has seen the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' trailer at this point. It was the most-viewed trailer of 2014 and is on track to become the most-viewed trailer of the internet age. It has been viewed over 72 million times and has spawned countless parodies and memes but, there's still one person who hasn't seen it: George Lucas. The man who created the franchise says that he hasn't seen the 'Force Awakens' trailer and has no plans to. In fact, he's not even that interested at all.
Benedict Cumberbatch Cast as Marvel's 'Doctor Strange'
The 'Doctor Strange' casting has come full circle. After a series of stops and starts (we're looking at you, Joaquin Phoenix), Marvel has returned to one of the very first actors they had their eye on for their upcoming superhero movie: Benedict Cumberbatch. Deadline is reporting that the 'Sherlock' star is in "final negotiations" with Marvel to star in 'Doctor Strange' and, presumably, a number of other big 'Avengers' style crossover movies.
'Guardians of the Galaxy' Star Dave Bautista Cast as 'Bond 24′ Villain
We'd previously heard that the 'Bond 24' filmmakers wanted the villain for the upcoming sequel to be unlike the modern day villains and instead a throwback to the big hulking henchmen like Jaws or Oddjob. The casting call was looking for "an imposing, extremely physically fit actor" over 6'2" tall. Not a ton of guys like that around, but the director Sam Mendes didn't have to look further than the biggest movie of the year.

While 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was able to pleasantly surprise people with how good it is, now all eyes are on 'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' and whether it can live up to the original. One thing we've all wondered about the sequel is whether the Guardians would be introduced to any Earth-bound heroes, or vice versa. Could there be any new members of the Guardians of the Galaxy?

The Little Ice Age is generally seen as a major event in European history. Analysing a variety of recent weather reconstructions, this column finds that European weather appears constant from the Middle Ages until 1900, and that events like the freezing of the Thames and the disappearance of English vineyards have simpler explanations than changing climate. It appears instead that the European Little Ice Age is a statistical artefact, where the standard climatological practice of smoothing what turn out to be white noise data prior to analysis gives the spurious appearance of irregular oscillation – a Slutsky Effect.
Understanding large economic downturns is one of macroeconomics' central goals. This column argues that imbalances in input-output linkages can interact with firm-level shocks to produce output fluctuations that are much larger than the underlying shocks. The result can be large cycles arising from small, firm-level shocks. It is thus important to study the determinants of large economic downturns separately. Macroeconomic tail risks may vary significantly even across economies that exhibit otherwise identical behaviour for moderate deviations.
Recent debt crises have brought the fragility of the Eurozone into focus. It has been argued that members are vulnerable to sudden changes in market sentiment. This column examines how debt markets reacted to an ECB announcement that it would serve as a lender of last resort, finding that recent debt crises have strong self-fulfilling dynamics.
Total US prescription drug spending rose 13% in 2014, the biggest increase in a decade. Driving this trend is spending on branded specialty drugs, which rose an unprecedented 31%. This column discusses recent research into the relationship between inflation-adjusted launch prices and survival benefits and approval year for 58 anticancer drugs approved in the US between 1995 and 2013. The authors find that launch prices are going up by $8,500 per year, approximately 12% year over year.
R&D-intensive firms such as biopharmaceutical companies operate in a competitive and risky environment. This column presents new evidence on how competition affects the investment decision of R&D-intensive firms. An increase in competition will make the firm increase the R&D investment, and as a response the firm will carry more cash and reduce its debt. Also, more competition will increase the idiosyncratic risk of R&D-intensive firms.

Chessboard set - need help to ID materials
Hi all
I just inherited an antique chessboard/set and since I have no knowledge of items like this, I'm looking for some help with it. Specifically, I'd like to know what its made of. A friend of mine told me that most boards are of the marble/onyx variety, and it seems this may be what I have here. Underneath the board there are slabs of stone pieced together. Just wondering if that could be a different type of stone.
If anyone has any ideas of what these materials might be I would greatly appreciate any info. Thanks and happy new year!
Not so sure how "antique" the board is....but it sure looks like onyx. The stone under looks like perhaps unpolished marble or lime stone...
But the figures are what's interesting. What do they appear to be made from? I suspect they originally went with a different board.
How about closer pictures and a view of the bottom?
Linda c
Hi and thanks for the info. I'm including some more pictures of the pieces themselves. I do seem to remember years ago my mother saying that the pieces were ceramic and hand-painted. Again I'm no expert but in looking at them, they seem to be molded from some kind plaster material. And if they are hand-painted, I would think there would be some kind of artist signature somewhere, but I don't see anything like that. I wouldn't mind getting some info about the pieces too and any info is much appreciated, thanks.
Interesting set - white onyx and black marble or black-dyed onyx would be my guess for the board.
The figures are probably molded ceramic - bought as bisque and hand painted by a hobbyist. Nicely done.
There may have been a board of yellow and green to go with these - the black and white looks strange with the set.
The pieces appear to be slip molded ceramics. Those would be difficult to play an actual game since there isn't enough difference between the light and dark pieces. Also, the light pieces are not the same color indicating it may be a 'mixed' set. The base of the pieces are sized correctly for the size of the squares. However, chess players would like to see a little more space between the pieces. These pieces would 'play' better on a larger board.
The squares may be of onyx and marble, but could be reconstituted stone. Reconstituted stone is made from small pieces of stone and grindings mixed in a resin and cast. I am puzzled by the backside stones; What holds the board together? I'm thinking there is a composition board such as masonite in the middle with the squares on one side and the backside stones on the other side.
These pieces are known as "decorative", but the pattern does not appear in the current USCF catalog. The style theme may be Crusades.
Most upscale boards are made of hardwoods. It is possible that your board is a one-of-a-kind made by a hobbyist, possibly a lapidarist, and not a mass produced item. It could also be a school shop project.

Slowly but steadily......
I'm making headway in my sewing room! I got *some* of the clothing fabrics put away on their own shelf in my cabinets, I finally found the stacked coins rows and 9-patch blocks that are destined for baby quilts, I'm packing up for our quilting trip to the NC mountains this Thursday, and I'm gathering projects/fabrics to take to the retreat in October.
And......I have cleared up to 44-inches of cutting space on my cutting table, that is up from only 18-inches....TA DAH!
But I still can't find the Jack & Jill quilt pattern that I have been looking for - and now we know that my nephew's expected baby is a boy and I want to make that pattern. Oh well, I did find an online shop that has it.
Great progress, Teresa. I'm going to use you as my inspiration and get into my sewing room very soon. Maybe I'll pretend I'm going to go the retreat and that will help. I need deadlines sometimes to make projects a priority.
Cleaning the sewing room is like a treasure hunt. One never knows what they may find.lol. Your inspiring but I am waiting until I finish putting "Sylvia" together because she is the reason for a big part of my mess.
Good luck, obviously you're making headway.
And I found my 10 yds. of Chanticleer Vintage White that I ordered in 2007 that goes so well with the 1930's repro prints!
Now if I can just find a better spot for my bags of scraps, then I won't have to lean over to get into the bookcase! LOL!
WOO HOOOOO! I found the Jack and Jill pattern!!!! Oh, happy day! And guess where it was??? Yep....that "safe" place, of course. Inside a large white envelope on the bookshelf where I store other patterns and books!
I'm so happppeeeee!
I really need to clean up my space - or lack of - lol.
Glad you found your Pattern and other treasures!
When I see those neat and tidy perfect sewing rooms, I know there is no creativity going on.......and no sewing!!!
Just what I think. No offense to those tidy, neat-niks here:) I'm just jealous.....
Marsha you are so funny, but, it's the way I feel too lol!!!!!!
I try to clean up when it's time for the bug man to spray. I usually just throw as much as I can into the closet. The last time my DGDs visited one remarked that the room looked better than the last time she visited lol!!! I am so happy that I finally have a sewing room and I can shut the door. I know I would turn the whole house into my sewing room if I lived alone.
My machines are kept lint free, but you should see the floor.
Teresa I can't tell you how many times I have taken the room apart looking for something. Glad you found it!
I've contemplated making multiple copies of the pattern and putting them in several spots in my sewing room so I can find them when I need the pattern again! Ha! I'll even hang one up from my "inspiration" clothesline that hangs over my sewing table. It might fade in time, but at least I will know where it is! I know I spent 4-5 hours this time looking for that pattern.
Here it is in the "Jill" version:
This summer I've been sewing a lot and I've been looking for a number of little things: a favorite scissors, my sharpest ripper, that circular razor thing I don't know the name of but it looks like a pretty medallion and it's used for cutting threads, a small but useful ruler, etc. My sewing room is messy all the time so I figured I had just misplaced all these things (like I've done so often before). But this past weekend my eyes settled on a big old picnic basket in the corner and I remembered that I gathered all kinds of favorite things in there so I would have everything in one place to work on my hand applique project! Of course, the project is at a stand-still, untouched for months. But I opened up that basket and there were all my treasures!!! Now, if I could just find the remote control for the TV....
I keep all things sewing related in my bedroom and drag out what I need to the kitchen when I want to work on a project. We are renovating our house and currently working in our master bedroom. I had to go through and tote up everything and boy did I find a lot of things I have been missing! I organized everything as I packed up and have it at a ready to work on when I get a spare minute.
I am so glad to know that I am not the only one that can't find anything after I have organized and cleaned lol!!!!!
OMG Teresa, that is beautiful!!!! I absolutely love it. The prairie points and the applique look perfect. I can't wait to see the 'Jack'.
Thanks for all the lovely compliments! I think this is one of the nicest quilts that I have made thus far.
The "Jack" has sailboats on it. I think I will do the Jack quilt in yellow green, blue, brick red, and gold. Unless I change my mind! I've gone through my stash and the colors I picked look good together.
The pattern is online at ericas.com, listed under Applique Quilt Patterns II, down near the bottom of that page.
Here is a link that might be useful:
Beautiful quilt, Teresa! I took a sampler class at Erica's oodles of years ago.....think it was 1984. I loved that shop.....she had everything and it was so homey! Every nook and cranny was filled. They've moved since I was there so have to track them down the next time I'm up there. @:)
I'm not so organized and lose things, too. When I leave for a couple months to go up north, I just throw a sheet over everything....ok, so it might take more than one sheet but I'm afraid I'll never find anything if I put things away in a safe place. @:)

Steve Jobs film underway with Michael Fassbender in lead role
It's finally off the ground after two years of planning...
'Kate Winslet DIDN'T save me from Necker Island fire'
Richard Branson's mum, Eve, has spoken out about that infamous heroic act.
Could Divergent be even better than The Hunger Games?
Divergent is hitting UK cinemas this weekend and with it being based upon yet another YA bestselling series, this one by Veronica Roth, and it being set in a gritty dystopian post-apocalyptic world it is inevitable that the Hunger Games comparisons come out to play (due to the themes and the dystopic setting).
What the UK is like according to British films
Films allow us to travel back in time, to the future, across the world and back again. We are able to see the world without leaving our home city. And while this is great, it can also lead to a limited view. If we were to believe everything we see in the movies, then this is what we would learn about the UK.
Kate: Everyone thinks I'm 's***'
Kate Winslet says despite being an award-winning actress she still panics that people think she is 's***' at her job.
Kate Winslet names baby son Bear
Kate Winslet has named her third child Bear, it has been revealed.

Exterior Deck color
VSJ22October 17, 2011
The exterior of this 1920's craftsman bungalow has been painted (90% done) and the front porch had to be resurfaced and new steps added.
I'm hoping for some suggestions for the deck color.
The exterior colors are similar to MS Wrought Iron Grey Blue.
I would suggest a dark, rich brown wood color, stain if it would go on evenly over the different woods. It will make your colors and your stone pillars pop. I think a gray color would make the stone disappear.
What an inviting look your home has!
Agree with Nancy. Dark brown will look great and offer more UV protection.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Nearly 3 years ago, I discovered Typophile and the first type in the Critique area to catch my attention was the work of Kris Sowersby. I remember his early frustration as the work progressed and his joy as it moved to realization. I knew it was in him then and I am happy to see it out and about for the rest of the world to see. Bravo Kris and thank you Village for having the vision to see what a great contribution Kris has made to the type world.
Go have a look and even a buy at:
Good one Kris mate... nice new website too ;)
Wonderful. May it be the opening salvo in the illustrious career of a gifted designer.
I have been an on and off typophile reader for, what I have just discovered, three years and two weeks. In that time I don't think I have ever posted anything. Pathetic.
The only reason I know my membership length is because I had to go through the password rediscovery rigmarole to write this message.
Why? The brilliance of Feijoa motivated me: the slackest of typophile readers and wannabe designers. It motivated me to post a message saying:
Congratulations Kris. I am pleased to see what I always knew would happen, happen.
I am also mighty thankful that I have been able to work with you since our sh*tty projects in first year.
A mate well made.
congrats, Kris!
Yey!! Congratulations!!
Oh my what a lovely typeface!!! I'll be certain to buy it when I have a few extra quid though I do wish it had a Bold Italic.
Excellent work, Kris. Well done.
Bravo Kris. Roman so warm and rich, Italic so clean and open, Bold so dark and satisfying. All the best, it's special!
This is what I've been looking forward to since I saw your site. Congratulations!
Thanks you all for the support & constructive criticism throughout the development of Feijoa! I really have to thank the Typophilers for their encouragement. Neither Feijoa nor Village would have 'happened' to me if it wasn't for this site.
I do plan to expand the Feijoa family, but I am over-exposed to it at this stage. This is effectively a sharpened version, kinda like Feijoa's 9–5 suit wearing brother. And trust me, there will be some really interesting things coming soon, I just can't say exactly what…
Everything in its own time, Kris: Feijoa is a real keeper.
As I wrote in the other thread: Fabulous. And the first of many wonderful typefaces, I'm sure.
Bloody goodon yer mate!! Time to celbrate with a few steiny's eh?? Gonna get me a copy pretty soon!!
Fantastic work, Kris! I'm glad that it is out in the world now. Enjoy it, and the extensions you'll add.
Wow, it even has a ffä ligature! Beautiful font, congratulations!
Very beautiful, judging onscreen. I'd love to have some prints to be fully convinced ;-)
"there will be some really interesting things coming soon,"
Please oh please let that be a superfamily with Karbon, Karbon Serif, and the fascinating curvy counterpart (where did it go on the new site?)
Kris, Feijoa is a beauty, congrats!
Karbon is from Kris Sowersby also?! Ich bin platt.
I'm surely buy Karbon Serif, if it is available, i swear.
Let the others buy Feijoa, hehe - i like it rough.
The best, t.
Hip hip hooray!
congratulations! i've had an eye on this at the village site for some time now. i'll definately purchase sometime in the future.
Really nice, I loved it !!!
Congratulations Kris
Félicitations! Very beautiful work. You can be proud of it.
Chris, that's inspiring to a kid like me. Beautiful typeface!
The Kris who designed Feijoa spells his name with a K, Kris. I am just another admirer of his work. :-)
That's a lovely font. Mmmm... talk about inspirational! Having seen this I went out and worked on my first "get er done and then forget about it" font a little more.
Loving it.
Where's your great KLIM logo gone on the website?
Mad props! Keep 'em comin!
Kia ora folks,
Thank you all for your kinds words! Make it all worthwhile, gives me the warm & fuzzies.
Carl—Please oh please let that be a superfamily with Karbon, Karbon Serif
I will get around to that, eventually. Custom work will be taking up a lot of time though.
Thomas—Karbon is from Kris Sowersby also?! Ich bin platt. I'm surely buy Karbon Serif, if it is available, i swear.
Glad you like it! Again, it is very much in progress. I won't release something I feel is unfinished.
NIck—Where's your great KLIM logo gone on the website?
I got sick of it, and it doesn't work at small sizes! I felt it was uneccessary, as I really wanted the new site to be black & white & simple & type only.
MetalFoot—That's a lovely font. Mmmm… talk about inspirational! Having seen this I went out and worked on my first "get er done and then forget about it" font a little more.
Tell me about it. I have about 15 families in various states of completion. It is too easy to open one up, click around, then give up. Nothing like a deadline for inspiration!
DavidBoldItalic—Chris, that's inspiring to a kid like me. Beautiful typeface!
Chur bro—there's no time like the present. Get cracking!
I'll also be adding a PDF of various type projects to the KLIM site pretty soon. I'll let you all know, if you are interested.
> I felt it was uneccessary
Don't get too Modernist on us though, OK?
I took away my logo!
Good stuff Kris, now all you need to do is get Sting back up and running. Ha ha
Thanks George! It is awesome that your "Hellenic Hair" aesthetic is still going strong—how very consistent of you. Just the other day I was actually wondering where the "Shred" t-shirt came from, now I know!
>I got sick of it.
You're crazy...
You deserve a new one. Here's my submission:
crikey Nick dont you think that's a bit funnty to design another bloke's logo wothout asking??
Dear Nick,
"You deserve a new one. Here's my submission:"
It pains me to say this but I must agree with an Aussie for once. Designing a logo for someone without being asked is terribly presumptuous!
Muzzer, Nigella, the logo was a gorgeous letter K intwined, if I remember, in some beautiful floral or dragon background.
I'm pretty sure the set of painfully plain boxes is Nick's joke.
You only had to ask.
The one I remember was like the atlas header ('Karv'?)
I can't find Karv...what's going on?
clever like a fox.
Just in the nick of time Muzz!
Thanks for the effort Nick, but I don't really think your logo is appropriate. The Atlas lettering is Karv, and based upon my old logo. Who would have thought becoming logo-less would cause a stir!
Bill, that one you're thinking of was the first version, but I didn't like it in the end either. Perhaps I am just fickle…
Oh, and I will be adding a couple of PDF's to the KLIM site in teh next couple of days.
Kris - how do you get to see the ligatures in the type setter? What combination of keys do I need to press?
Such a beautiful typeface. Thanks Kris!
WhitePepper: "Kris - how do you get to see the ligatures in the type setter? What combination of keys do I need to press?"
According to Chester this version of the mudTyper does not handle advanced OT features. Sorry about this!
However, two new PDF files at KLIM.
The Feijoa PDF shows text settings and character sets of all styles. (The text is part of a story written by my very good mate R.D. Syde—no dummy copy here! )
The KlimType 01 PDF is essentially a sample of typefaces, lettering & work in progress by the KLIM Type Foundry. It shows the depth and breadth of our typographic work, plus a few sneak previews for those who are interested!
Thanks for all the support so far, I really appreciate it!
Besides Kris landing his typface at Village, it looks like he got Muzz to help him land a giant squid as well!
NZ fishermen land colossal squid
It's been a long time since am not participating in Typophile,
but I felt that Kris deserves a brake of my silence
(I also remember his first enthusiastic posts).
Well done my friend.
