Repco Appreciation SocietyHere's my Repco Superlite.
Oops, that should read CroMo 4130 Repco Superlite truing stand. It might not be flash but it cost $0 and works! I know its a bit early, but with the tree in the background, Merry Christmas everyone! Last edited by Minority on Wed Dec 05, 2007 7:59 am, edited 1 time in total.
Clever peice of MacGyvering there Minority, but couldn't you find a KMarter for it?

It's not quite as sacrilegious as it might seem at first glance.
The frame was damaged and a bulk rubbish pick-up that I got for some of the components. When I was cutting up the frame for disposal I decided to put it to some good use.
Very clever. Atleast you saved nearly all of the scrap bike you got.

Until next time...
that is a bloody good idea, when you consider what a truing jig is worth, how do you actually mount the points to align the actual rim, any close up pics?
Cheers SP
Once again basic but cheap, a couple of small spring clamps from Bunnings, infinitely adjustable, I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it.
The other option (which I used for my front wheel Jig, a front fork) is to drill throughthe fork/stay and screw in a self-tapper. The self tapping screw can be screwed in or out for positioning and the brake mounting hole used for centre/dish checking.
I like your thinking. It is a very useful concept.
So basically you screw the screws in and out or move the spring clips up and down? How did you come up with that idea? Mitch. SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKYS. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.
Until next time...
Hmmm... I've got an identical Repco Superlite (in one piece!) I am looking at off-loading here in Melbourne for some $$$. Anyone interested? Can post more specs if required...
That'd ne a nice score Kukamunga, but the divorce'd cost me to much.

I am about to join the ranks of the Repco Appreciation Society. I have done a deal that will get me a Superlite from sir31 I will pick it up tomorrow so am looking forward to seeing it. I will grease and lube it all to see how it runs and then I will start the restoration. (See Money pit for dollars ). Here is the link for some pictures. A couple of questions: 300 exage gear - what is it like? Would this gear and this superbe gear be suitable? Waiting expectantly for expert opinions Waz Wazza
I'm one of those weirdos who thinks that the basic 4130 frame is worth whatever you feel like putting on it.
The biggest weight penalty that you'll suffer with the Exage gear is in the wheels - they are heavy. Why not consider new gear - Sora or Tiagra for Shimano-philes, Mirage or Veloce for Campagnatics - have the rear stays reset to fit new wheels and go from there? Litespeed Classic - 3Al/2.5V titanium tube set, Record 9-speed groupset, Open Corsa Evo CX
Alchemy Diablo - Columbus Zonal tubing, Ultegra 9-speed groupset, UltraGatorskins Gitane Rocks T1 - U6 tubing, Deore/XT groupset, CrossMarks
My concern is not weight, it is to keep the bike somewhere near original with perhaps an upgrade using the same period gear, so I guess the real question should be, is the superbe gear from that era (I'd like gears on the handle bars though ) and would it be an upgrade on the exage gear? Waz Wazza
As soon as you bung the shifters on the bars, you blow away any chance of her being a period piece. There's nothing wrong with downtube shifters and the relatively low number of gears means you don't shift as often anyway. Not that there's anything wrong with modernising her either. I'm happy with either and went for a third option with my Europa (converted her to fixed gear). I do feel though that unless you lucked onto some early combination brake/shifter levers in good nick (I understand that most are knackered), you're better off putting a modern groupset on the frame or sticking with the original setup. Trying to do both runs the risk of creating something that doesn't know what it is. On the other hand, you're welcome to go out and prove me wrong ... and I'll be among those applauding if you do Richard I had a good bike ... so I fixed it
If you want to stay reasonably true to period, then you should stick with the Exage gear - that's what they all wore.
As Richard says, STI shifters weren't around, so downtube shifters are the way to go. You should be able to get some Shimano 600 6/7 speed indexed shifters which would be an 'upgrade', and the Suntour XCM derailleurs / shifters were pretty good too.

Well I have it All I have done this morning is replace the tyres. I was going to go for a quick spin however ( will put my son's wheels on) the wheels have some buckles so my learning curve starts now . I will need a couple of small tools from the LBS so a visit there a bit later today(Money Pit Thread). Some details: Model: Repco Superlite Tech Frame: Unsure, CroMo - will contact original LBS for details (I hope) Derail, cranks, brakes: 300ex Exage Chain Rings: 52/40 Biospace Shifters: SIS indexed Handle Bars: Sinlung HL Quill: Sahae Front Hub: Exage HB-RM50 Rear Hub: Exage Rims: Araya Comments on the gear are welcome. Waz Wazza
Hi Wazza,
From the photo, it looks to be in pretty good condition. Superlites were such good bikes. Truing the wheels really isn't too hard. The LBS should be able to get you on the right track by showing you how to get started then it's just a matter of having a go and taking it slow. My best tip is to find a time when you know you won't be disturbed and there is no time limits. I can never get my wheels absolutely perfect but I can get them running pretty true without too much stress. Alot has been said over the years about bioplace chainrings and their worth but I have found that they still keep the wheels turning around and that's all they are required to do. The components look right for the bike. I bet you get many km's of great cycling from your new bike - congratulations.
Have just picked myself up another Superlite (model and color as per 'truing stand' above) but this one is in original, almost as new, very good condition, and in my size! There are no re-welded drive side chainstay/ rear dropout union repairs (as per truing stand above and my first Superlite). Was this a common problem with this model frame? What year is this model?
Also picked up a pair of original (?) Shimano 600 derailleurs and Tourney centre-pull brakes and parts in good condition (nice 'scrollwork' on rear derailleur) Wasn't someone on these forums after some of these recently?
Hi, this is my Repco Nishiki Tri A.
I brought this bike new about 20years ago and very soon I'm going to modernize her to a 10 speed.
As is 10sp rear cluster ? I presume then you are going to use STI levers ? Or are you going Campag ? What equipment level and brands are you going to use ? (Wheels, shifters, clusters etc) ? Will look good.

Konvertieren eines FreeBSD-Systems auf PC-BSD®
An existing FreeBSD 10.0 installation can be easily converted to either a PC-BSD® desktop or server. This can happen through the installation of a package which is available from the PC-BSD® package repository. The converted desktop will contain all of the graphical utilities that come with PC-BSD®. The converted server will contain all of their command line equivalents.
Switching to the PC-BSD® pkgng Repository
This section demonstrates how to configure a FreeBSD 10.0 system to use the PC-BSD® pkgng repository. Once this configuration is complete, you can then convert that FreeBSD system to either a PC-BSD® desktop or a TrueOS® server as described in the next two sections.
First, make sure that pkgng is bootstrapped:
Next, disable the FreeBSD pkg repository:
Now create this directory:
Then, create the file /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pcbsd.conf with the following contents:
Next, create the following directories:
Then, download the repository's fingerprint file:
Finally, update the package database and any installed packages using the following command:
Depending upon what is already installed, you may have to resolve some error messages in order to successfully upgrade all packages. To install and delete packages, use the pkg command as described in Section 5.5.3 of the FreeBSD Handbook[1].
Converting FreeBSD to a PC-BSD® Desktop
Once the repository configuration is complete, it is now easy to convert a FreeBSD system into a PC-BSD® desktop using the following commands as the superuser:
freebsd-update fetch freebsd-update install pkg install -fy pcbsd-base rehash pbreg set /PC-BSD/SysType PCBSD pc-extractoverlay ports
pc-extractoverlay desktopNext, reboot the system. The PC-BSD® login manager will start, allowing you to login to the desktop. If you want to set the PC-BSD® display wizard and first boot wizards to run first, run these commands before rebooting:
touch /var/.pcbsd-firstboot
touch /var/.pcbsd-firstguiConverting FreeBSD to a TrueOS® Server
If you wish to convert a FreeBSD server to TrueOS®, install the server package instead, then extract the installed utilities:
rehash pbreg set /PC-BSD/SysType TRUEOS pc-extractoverlay ports
pc-extractoverlay serverThese steps will install the following: Verwaltung der PBI, the command line version of warden, and the command line versions of most of the Kontrollzentrum utilities. You will find those utilities in /usr/local/bin/pc-*.

I'm looking to get into this submarining lark. I'm close to finishing a target (1/96 WWII K class destroyer) but I'm looking to build something that is more interesting to operate.
I saw the MSSA catalogue on the Graysubs page and I'd like to hear from anyone who has seen and/or built the 1/72 LA class. The price seems very good compared with the overseas kit and hull offerings, the scale would make a good-sized model and would allow me to operate with Task Force 72, and it's a local product which are all pluses.
My only question is then how does the quality and detail of the hull and mouldings compare with other kits available (e.g. the Scale Shipyard hull in the same scale, or the Thor Design kits)?

These fit small
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I used the sizing chart to measure my hand, which indicated that I was on the low side of an XL. When the gloves arrived, the XL was far too small, however the XXL fit perfectly. Advice to buyers: order the next size up (the sizing chart appears to be incorrect).
I'm very pleased with the quality of these gloves, however I can't speak to how well they work since I haven't used them yet.

Rival White Sox, Tigers have first meeting of '13
Quintana opposes Verlander in series opener at Comerica Park
The White Sox and Tigers haven't played each other yet this season, but that's about to change.
Starting Tuesday, they'll face each other 19 times over the Tigers' final 74 games.
"It's crazy. I want to say this diplomatically right, because it boggles my mind that you haven't played a division opponent until three days before the All-Star break," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
The Tigers are on top of the division and the White Sox are on the bottom, but make no mistake, this series is just as important to Detroit as any other.
"Truth be known, the significance of the Tigers' success may end up being how well we do against the Chicago White Sox, who we have not played yet," Leyland said. "And that's a team that's going to get hot at some point. That can make you a little nervous. You know they're going to play good at some point. They have too much talent."
The White Sox will have their work cut out for them with right-hander Justin Verlander on the mound for the Tigers. Verlander shut down the Blue Jays for seven innings of three-hit ball in his most recent outing, showing some of the best pure stuff he has all season. He sustained his fastball at 97-98 mph, and buckled hitters with curveballs.
The White Sox will counter with Jose Quintana, who limited the O's to two hits over seven shutout innings, striking out 11 and walking just one his last time out. He last won on May 21 and has seven consecutive no-decisions.
The Tigers will be ready, as they are 35-19 against the White Sox since 2010. They went 12-6 against them last year.
"We've played the White Sox so much, and their personnel isn't significantly different, so we do know them and they know us pretty good," Leyland said. "That helps, but it helps them as much as it helps us. I don't think that'll be a major factor."
White Sox: Wise working his way back
Injured outfielder Dewayne Wise is 1-for-6 with one RBI and two appearances in center field in two injury rehab games for Triple-A Charlotte as he tests his strained right oblique. He returned from his first rehab assignment, for a strained right hamstring, on June 20.
• Jeff Keppinger is batting .333 in his last 13 games, and Alexei Ramirez is hitting .321 in his last 18 games.
• The White Sox are 19-21 at home and trying to avoid a losing home record in the first half for the second time in three years. They finished 21-25 in 2011.
Tigers: Southpaw opponents stacking up
The Tigers are preparing for a steady dose of left-handed pitching in the final week before the All-Star break, and they take on the Rangers for three games after the White Sox series.
"The ironic thing about this last seven-game stretch is, we might see as many as four lefties, so the right-handed-hitting group is going to be pretty important to this last seven-game stretch before the break," Leyland said. "You've got [Cleveland's Scott] Kazmir, you've got Quintana, you've got [Chris] Sale, you've probably got [the Rangers' Derek] Holland. That's four for sure. And we haven't seen any for a while. These guys are going to get an opportunity."
• The Tigers and Giants have announced a Final Vote partnership, encouraging Detroit fans to vote for Joaquin Benoit as well as San Francisco outfielder Hunter Pence, and vice versa. The teams unveiled the #BackBenoit and #BackPence hashtags, the official tags to be used to vote for the pair during Thursday's social media voting period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET, which also marks the final six hours of voting.
• Prince Fielder, the reigning Home Run Derby champion, was selected by Yankees second baseman and team captain Robinson Cano to be part of the AL's team for 2013 Home Run Derby at Citi Field next week. Miguel Cabrera has also been asked to participate but is waiting to see if the stiffness in his back will subside enough for him to do so.
Worth noting
• Omar Infante's sprained left ankle kept him out of the lineup for the fifth consecutive game Monday. He sustained the injury on Colby Rasmus' slide on Wednesday in Toronto, and he said that a trip to the disabled list is a possibility.
"I have an MRI tomorrow on my ankle, and we'll see what happens," Infante said after Monday's game.
• Injured White Sox starter Jake Peavy, who has been on the DL since June 5 with a fractured left rib, threw a bullpen session on Friday in Tampa, Fla.

St. Patrick's Day is enjoyed in more countries around the globe than any other national holiday. British Commonwealth nations and those with Irish populations tend to celebrate the most, but anyone who wants to party can use this holiday as an excuse to have a good time. Undoubtedly, New York City holds top honors for throwing the largest celebration; however, since 1962 Chicago has been dumping tons of green dye in the Chicago River each year in honor of St. Patrick and the Irish. St Patrick's Day is an official holiday in both Ireland and in Montserrat, the "Emerald Isle of the Caribbean," a location that was settled by Irish immigrants in 1633.
St. Patrick was born to wealthy British parents in the late 300s. As a teenager, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and transported to Ireland. For the next six years, he was forced to tend sheep in solitude. At this time he turned to Christianity, and soon thereafter, he began a 200-mile journey to the coast of Ireland. He eventually escaped back to Britain. After completing his religious training, he would return to Ireland to tend the Christians living there and evangelize the pagan Irish. He died around A.D. 460.
In reality, the authentic color for St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is blue. It can still be seen today on Ireland's Presidential Standard and other ancient Irish flags. In the 1700s, green replaced blue and became the official color for Ireland. It is one of the three colors of the modern Irish flag. Green seems like a more logical choice when you consider that Ireland is known as the Emerald Isle because of its beautiful green countryside. The expression "the wearing of the Green" refers to both the shamrock that St. Patrick used to teach the Trinity and the bright green uniforms worn by soldiers during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. Green has also been the color that represents support for the Irish dream of independence.
The green of the Irish flag is the official color for St. Patrick's Day. It is a spring green with less blue in it than some of the other shades. Pantone's green PMS 347 is the closest match. However, there are several other greens that are also associated with the Irish culture. Shamrock green is the color of clover. Emerald green is a lighter, bluish-green version. Kelly green is bright and has more yellow tones.
Green is the largest of the color families and has the most varieties that are discernible to the human eye. While in America this color often symbolizes growth, hope, optimism, nature and health, in other parts of the world it can have a negative connotation. In China, it symbolizes infidelity. Even in the United States, green can be associated with sickness, envy and slime. Shades of green that have more yellow tend to create the most negative responses.
Although St. Patrick's Day is traditionally an Irish holiday, anyone is welcome to join the celebrations. As the Irish like to say, "There are really only two kinds of people in the world: the Irish and those who would like to be Irish."

a must buy I am glad overstock gives us the options to write a review on items purchased because 90 percent of my ordering is online and I do pay attention to the reviews, in fact a bad review if too many of the same complaint makes my decision on my purchase. As far as these sheets, they are wonderful! I remember reading reviews and the only thing a few people commented on in any negative way is that they wrinkle, I was thinking to myself you have got to be kidding me!! We just moved into a home and trying to watch money, my brother had given me his California King bed, which meant buying sheets, comforter the whole nine yards! Knowing that a good sheet at that size was going to run me at least 80 dollars, I went to overstock.com. I got two sets of these sheets for under the price of one set at other stores. The color matched perfectly with the picture on the site. As far as wrinkling, well I washed them before I put them on my bed, they did not get wrinkled until I laid on them, lol Thank you again overstock.com! I will continue to buy from you!

So soft! I bought these sheets as an impulse buy on Black Friday. When they arrived, I was disappointed in myself for ordering 350 thread count sheets as I normally prefer a much higher thread count. But, I was surprised that these sheets are so soft. This just goes to show you that thread count isn't everything. This is high quality Egyptian cotton sateen. I got the paprika color and it is a very rich burnt orange/rust color, not too orange. And, of course, as always with overstock, they arrived promptly and in excellent condition.

good but cheap These sheets are egyptian cotton which is what I was looking for . However as others have noted, they do wrinkle a lot, which does not bother me, after all they are cotton and quite soft, definitely not "crisp". They fit my mattress just fine, but it is an older mattress and not several feet thick :)) The top sheet could be a little more ample in width, it is just barely wide enough. Since I was looking for an inexpensive set of good cotton sheets, these are exactly that. For the price I have not seen better. If you are budget minded, these will do.

God at first but then . . . I loved these sheets initially. They were soft and the color was great but after a few washes they pilled really bad. I wouldn't even care if they just looked pilly because they are covered by my duvet but when I am in laying in bed I can feel all the little pill balls. I would not recommend these sheets if they are going to be washed often.

sheets I expected a smooth, soft texture from the thread count of these sheets. Instead it was scratchy and unpleastant to the touch. Of the three sets I ordered, I returned two. I would have returned them all, but I had washed the one set to see if that would soften the texture--it did not. And it ended up extremely wrinkled and was difficult to iron. The return fee charges also were excessive. I will think very carefully before I order anythink from Overstock again.

Can you bleach the white ones?
Thank you for your interest. Chlorine bleach should never be used with Egyptian cotton sheets because the chlorine can actually damage the cotton fibers over time as well as the elastic of the fitted sheet. For white or ivory sheets, add about a cup of non-chlorine bleach to the washing machine. This will help freshen and brighten the sheets. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Yes with Oxyclean. Spot cleaning with Shout works.
I need twin XL in these sheets but it only states that there are twin available under the "options" button, right above the quantity ordered and "add to cart" button. Is that right that all of these sheets only come in standard twin size, not XL?

Quick Facts about Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets

Black Diamond
Wired Stoppers
In Stock Product Number: 319
Stoppers are the foundation of any climbing rack and these are the standard wired, wedge-shaped nuts for thin-crack protection. Black Diamond designed a transverse taper into the Stopper which permits good sideways placements in flares and shallow seams. This feature opens up previously unprotectable cracks, and makes Stoppers significantly more functional than other wedge-shaped nuts. The nuts are easier to remove since Black Diamond rounds-off the sharp corners that cause nuts to get hung up on crystals and irregularities inside the crack.
* This product does not qualify for shipping to all countries.

Confidence in retirement continues to flail / Thinkstock
Even in a rebounding economy, 28% of Americans are not confident about saving enough money for retirement, according to a new survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), the highest level in the 23 years that it has tracked retirement savings.
The percentage of workers who are secure about their retirement future is the same as it was in 2011, with only 13% saying that they are very confident, according to EBRI's 2013 Retirement Confidence Survey, which is being released today.
Even though workers have seen their investments go back up to where they were before the stock market crash, they also have been waking up to how much more money they need to save for a safe retirement future.
"The good news is that people really do understand how much they should be saving," says Jack VanDerhei,EBRI research director and co-author of the report. "But the bad news is that this has not yet translated into action."
Because Americans have to cope with many immediate financial concerns today, retirement savings is taking a back seat. Only 2% of workers and 5% of retirees say that retirement is their most pressing issue, the survey says.
Among the worries mentioned in the 2013 survey:
â?¢ Job uncertainty is the most pressing issue for 30% of workers.
â?¢ Nearly one-third of workers, 28%, say that they have less than $1,000 in savings or investments and 12% say that making ends meet is their most immediate concern.
â?¢ More than half of workers (55%) and 39% of retirees are dealing with debt problems and they don't have much more left over for savings.
At least many Americans have a more realistic perspective about retirement, says Greg Burrows, senior vice president of retirement and investor services at the Principal Financial Group, a co-sponsor of the EBRI study. For example, more than 80% of workers who are not participating in a 401(k) plan say they are willing to be automatically enrolled and would contribute 6% of their income.
And workers have increased their saving goals, with more than 23% of workers saying that in order to have a secure retirement they need to save 30% or more of their income each year, the EBRI survey says.
To help improve retirement confidence, Burrows suggests some simple steps for workers, which include assessing their personal financial situation, participating in a retirement plan, utilizing calculators and online planning tools, creating a plan that focuses on saving as well as spending, and implementing the plan.

Diamond, Floyd seek strong starts for Twins, Sox
The Twins are just happy to be on schedule again. Minnesota has had three games postponed in the last week -- including Friday's series opener against the White Sox -- and will go into Sunday's finale with a logjam in its rotation. Scott Diamond, who hasn't pitched since his season debut on April 13, will be matched against Chicago's Gavin Floyd on Sunday.
Diamond, a southpaw, underwent surgery to remove a bone chip from his pitching elbow in December, and that put him a bit behind schedule in Spring Training. The 27-year-old didn't pitch in his first spring game until March 19, and he took the loss in his season debut against the Mets. And then came further delay, thanks to the weather.
The Twins and Mets were rained out last Sunday, causing a ripple effect in the rotation. Minnesota was rained out again Wednesday night against the Angels, and an off-day on Thursday conspired to keep the starting staff in flux. And then came third postponement Friday night, which meant that both Vance Worley and Diamond had to be pushed back again.
"A guy like Diamond is more of a concern, because he was on a routine," said manager Ron Gardenhire. "He came into Spring Training behind with the surgery and on the routine, and now this is going on the eighth day. That wasn't planned, but what are you gonna do? ... It's more of a concern that he'll be able to find it than anybody else on the staff."
Floyd, meanwhile, has been hit progressively harder in his first three starts. The right-hander went six innings and allowed two earned runs in his season debut, but the White Sox lost a 3-1 game to the Royals that day. Floyd pitched into the sixth and allowed five earned runs in his next start, and he got knocked out of the game in the fifth inning in his third outing.
Offense was at a premium in Saturday's game, as both starters worked seven innings and allowed one earned run. That was a bit of vindication for the Twins and Worley, who had given up seven earned runs in just one inning his last time out. Gardenhire was asked Saturday if he had considered juggling the rotation, and he said that wouldn't have been fair.
"No, because then you screw the other guy," said Gardenhire of starting Diamond earlier. "All of them are getting about the same treatment. We just try to keep them in order as best we possibly can and get them back pitching and hopefully we won't have to deal with this any more. You're gonna get a rainout here and there, but all at once is a little bit tough."
The Twins scored in the 10th inning to beat the White Sox on Saturday, and they've won three straight to get back to .500 following a five-game losing streak. The White Sox are 3-3 in their last six games, and they're 1 1/2 games behind the Twins. The American League Central has a two-way tie at the top, and Minnesota will go into Sunday just a half-game out of first place.
Twins: Perkins closing the door
Southpaw Glen Perkins has been formidable in five of his six appearances this season, and he's managed to bounce back from his only tough night at the office. Perkins has thrown two straight scoreless outings after getting dinged for two runs in a blowout loss to the Mets, and he's managed to notch a save in each of his four opportunities this season.
Perkins was perfect in his first three outings -- three innings, no hits or walks -- and rewarded with two saves and a victory. He wound up sitting idle for four days after that, perhaps explaining why he was touched up by the Mets. Perkins came back to get the last two outs in an 8-6 victory over the Angels, and he faced four batters and retired three in Saturday's victory.
White Sox: Dunn as cold as the weather
Adam Dunn is off to another slow start. Dunn is batting .098 with 23 strikeouts in 61 at-bats this season, an echo to the start he had in 2011, his first year with the White Sox. Chicago's designated hitter batted .160 in April and for the first half two years ago, but he came back to hit .231 for the season's first month and .204 with 41 home runs for the season in 2012.
Dunn, for years one of the game's most consistent players, has truly been an enigma with the White Sox. The 33-year-old veteran batted .250 with 354 home runs in his first 10 seasons with three National League teams (Cincinnati, Arizona and Washington), but he's fallen off to a .179 average with 54 home runs in his first 289 games with the White Sox.
Worth Noting
• Despite Saturday's loss, the White Sox have won 12 of the last 15 and 22 of their last 29 games against the Twins.
• Fifteen of Chicago's 17 games this season have been decided by three runs or fewer. The White Sox are 4-5 in one-run games, 1-2 in two-run games and 1-2 in three-run games.
• The Twins will play host to Miami and Texas at Target Field next week.

Will never touch Sony again my wife and i both have Xperia T and have been returned both for faulty batteries which need replacing, mine has also has been sent back again since for another battery. and both constantly freeze, turn them selves on and off. over heath when not in use and generally the worse phone i've ever had. only good point is Sony's customer service has been first class but i worry thats only due to being used so often!!!
With the launch of the Xperia Z1 smartphone Sony is the first large manufacturer to throw its hat in the ring at this year's IFA trade show in Berlin. The Android 4.2 device, which had been heavily rumored under the code name "Honami," follows the Xperia Z, which itself was only launched at CES in January, as Sony's top-end smartphone. The big news on the Z1 is the 1/2.3 imaging sensor that is larger than those used on most smartphones. The comparatively large sensor and the high pixel count of 20.7MP in combination with the addition of a physical shutter button demonstrate that, like Nokia with its latest Lumia models and HTC with the One, Sony is another manufacturer that has identified camera performance as a key differentiator in the smartphone market. We had a chance to have a closer look at the new model at IFA; read on for our first impressions. Key Photographic / Video Specifications
Other Specifications
Body & DesignWith its angular design the Xperia Z1 follows in the footsteps of its predecessor but the one-piece aluminum frame that is visible around the edges makes the Z1 feel even more like a premium product. At 169g the Sony is not heavy but feels very solid, and a little more chunky than some of the competition. Both front and back of the device are covered in scratch-resistant glass. This gives the device a luxury touch but unfortunately also makes the back very prone to fingerprint smearing. Like its predecessor, the Xperia Z1 is also dust- and waterproof to 1m depth (certified to IP55/58). The Z1 is not built for use in a war zone or even a building site, but it should survive a drop in the toilet or use on a dusty beach. The new model's focus on mobile photographers is emphasized by the addition of a dedicated shutter button. Slots for a MicroSim or microSD card are hidden under rubber flaps. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE
By Eddy M (Sep 15, 2013) I think it's not the hardware, it's the software issues. Mine (xperia TL) did that too but after I flashed the most recent original sony firmware (not AT&T firmware) and debloated it, it runs as smooth as butter now, even battery lasts longer. 1 upvote By Menneisyys (Sep 9, 2013) We have. Sony haven't. No wonder they've been diligently stuffing their 20 Mpixel sensors into their HX series of P&S cameras only to deliver absolutely rubbish IQ. (This is why Megapixel race-wise more conservative manufacturers like Pana or Nikon have, generally, IQ-wise, much superior P&S cameras, compared to the Sony HX series.) 0 upvotes By aaanouel (Sep 13, 2013) Megapixel race makes no sense, I agree, but saying "HX series of P&S cameras only to deliver absolutely rubbish IQ." is as false as a three dollar bill. Comment edited 2 times, last edit 58 seconds after posting 0 upvotes Replying to my own post... apparently it usually shoots in 8MP and uses "all of the sensor" to make those 8MP. That's not too bad if it's pixel binning or something similar. 0 upvotes By Sirandar (Sep 6, 2013) Very Impressive phone .... when my S3 dies I have another option besides Samsung now. If the camera is good this would be a very flexible phone because is isn't crippled with respect to storage as it has microSD. 64gb of microSD means most of us can carry our entire music collections on the road without ever syncing again so it also makes the perfect audio player. Files also transfer orders of magnitude faster when you plug the card directly into a computer VS using USB based MTP. If it isn't wildly overpriced this phone should do very well. 2 upvotes By Mattoid (Sep 6, 2013) What is the focal length of the lens and thus the angle of view? What are the dimensions of the phone? 0 upvotes By Lars Rehm (Sep 6, 2013) Hi guys, I just got a Z1 test unit, so I should be able to post a gallery sometime in the next couple of days. 8 upvotes By 0lf (Sep 6, 2013) I hope for Sony your samples will be better than those already on the internet... 0 upvotes By Lars Rehm (Sep 6, 2013) let's see what somebody who actually knows how to use a camera can do :-) 6 upvotes Yes, please test it extensively. I'm hoping that the Z1's image quality is good enough to retire my Canon S90 (despite the smaller sensor). It would be nice to take only one camera, as my Galaxy Note 2 pics are barely acceptable imo. Thank You! 0 upvotes By AndyHWC (Sep 6, 2013) applaud for the dedicated shutter button. Hopefully the phone will have similar IQ as WX300, HX50. But users should not expect better IQ than Lumia 1020, maybe better than Galaxy NX though. 1020 has OIS and 1/1.5" sensor based on proven technology from Pureview 80. 0 upvotes By Boerseuntjie (Sep 6, 2013) My Sony Xperia ZL has a dedicated shutter button and volume acts as dedicated zoom I love this phone but have to say the picture quality in low light is bad, I hope this Z1 is better 1 upvote By HowaboutRAW (Sep 7, 2013) AndyHWC-- The Samsung Galaxy NX has an excellent APSC sensor, shoots raw, takes excellent lenses made for Samsung by Optron, can easily shoot above ISO 3200. So no a smallish 41 MP sensor in a camera with no raw capacity does not beat the Samsung Galaxy NX. (And yes I have shot samples with the NX300 so know what the sensor can do.) The Nokia 1040 has a decent jpeg only camera for use in daylight. If Nokia were serious about image quality in phone cameras, Nokia would allow recording in raw and release the underlying code for that recording so others could write serious raw extraction software for those raws. And now Nokia-Microsoft had best add card slots to future Windows phone models–Blackberry and Samsung haven't made that mistake, like Apple, Nokia, and HTC did. Comment edited 5 minutes after posting 0 upvotes By AndyHWC (Sep 12, 2013) @By HowaboutRAW, sorry, I was referringto the new Galaxy phone with integrated zoom lens, forget the exact model name but it is not the Galaxy NX. 0 upvotes By Mrrowe8 (Sep 6, 2013) Actually it has beaten the Nokia , the Sony with expandable memory card slot can allow for transfer of cards , down load images to your computer and run through geniune fractals and nik software and poof noise reduced. .. The Nokia HAS NO expandable memory and you must use a cloud based system thus tying you to pay system .. So beaten and the addition of lenses means this is the real beginning of the end of PS Cameras .. For me it will depend in carrier .. 0 upvotes By CortoPA (Sep 6, 2013) "down load images to your computer and run through geniune fractals and nik software and poof noise reduced. .." BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHA........ You really know the core of the Cameraphone market........People cant wait to spend hundreds $ to doctor their facebook pics.... 1 upvote By Bilgy_no1 (Sep 6, 2013) While the 'no expandable memory' remark is true, I'm sure that you can actually connect the Lumia 1020 to a PC with a USB-cable to transfer your files. In terms of IQ, there's no good comparison yet between the two. So, it's too early to declare a winner in that department. Where the Z1 does beat the Lumia 1020 hands down is in processing power. The Snapdragon S4 Plus may be sufficient to run Windows Phone 8 smoothly, it is not powerful enough to deal with all those pixels. Camera start-up time (around 5 sec) and shot-to-shot time (around 2 sec) are quite bad for such a camera centric smartphone. I do believe that Nokia (or MS) should make an update of the 1020 quite soon after the release of the next WP update that should enable quadcore processors (Snapdragon 800, I guess). 0 upvotes By DMakogon (Sep 7, 2013) Lumia 1020 plugs into a computer via USB, just like nearly all other phones, so you can clear off memory as often as you wish. Regarding cloud storage: Skydrive offers 7GB free. Want to expand? Upgrades start at 20gb, and 50GB runs $25 annually. Current prices of good-quality 32GB SDHC cards run $30-40, so cost is not really a factor. No obligation to upload to SkyDrive - you can simply use the 32GB of onboard memory. Comment edited 9 minutes after posting 0 upvotes By supeyugin1 (Sep 6, 2013) Bad that it doesn't have removable battery. A deal breaker for me. Otherwise a good phone. 2 upvotes By Maltytasker (Sep 5, 2013) Disappointing that it doesn't have a removable battery. Having to keep an external power pack connected whenever it runs low on charge is very inconvenient, and a deal killer for me. 0 upvotes i have a note 2. The battery easily lasts all day and i rarely need to charge before dinner, so I doubt i'd ever need to swap batteries. I'm curious to see what you're doing that drains the battery so quickly and doesn't allow for you to be anywhere for more than 30 minutes to charge. 1 upvote By Lars Rehm (Sep 6, 2013) so you think a second battery is more convenient? You'll have to power off the device to swap batteries, plugging in an external one makes this much easier. Of course the root of the problem is the dismal battery life of almost any mobile device these days :-) 2 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 5, 2013) Guys, have you checked out Sony's comparisons to other cameraphone flagships at http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/legal/testresults/xperia-z1/ ? Your opinion? I think SONY is lying to us when stating their Z1 has beaten all other models. Why? For example, the "Baby asleep at ultra-low light " is HIGHLY dubious. All the non-OIS cameras produced severely under-exposed images as was easy to predict. The Lumia 920 opted for a much longer exposure because of its OIS. However, the Z1, which does NOT have an OIS, just can't reliably produce an image as shown in the test. It'd either need ISO 25600 (which would be noisy even on APS-C) or, with ISO 1600 or 3200, an exposure of about 0.5s. It's fully impossible to shoot a tack-sharp image with 1/2s shutter speed on a non-OIS device with 28mm equiv FoV. I haven't examined the other results but I'm afraid they're equally flawed and can in no way be taken seriously. 1 upvote No one knows the testing conditions other than sony and this isn't the "final" software. i'd wait for full reviews before jumping to conclusions. Though I feel 8-10mp should have been enough.. 0 upvotes By wansai (Sep 6, 2013) pretty sure they must have braced their phones. no way in hell they can get 1/2 second hand held. even with 5 axis stabilisation of the omd, i need to execute perfect shooting form, lean myself against a wall if i want to get a 1/2 hand held shot. 0 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 6, 2013) "pretty sure they must have braced their phones. no way in hell they can get 1/2 second hand held. even with 5 axis stabilisation of the omd, i need to execute perfect shooting form, lean myself against a wall if i want to get a 1/2 hand held shot." Exactly. Sony's plain lying. 0 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 6, 2013) "No one knows the testing conditions other than sony and this isn't the "final" software." Well, given that the Honami doesn't have OIS, you will in no way get a non-blurry image 99% of the time in ultra low light, handheld. With such a small and high-Mp sensor you simply can't use ISO's over 3200. This is a fact that is fully independent of the firmware version or the test setup. Unless the latter involves "all phones were mounted on a tripod", which isn't mentioned in Sony's material. 0 upvotes By rpm40 (Sep 6, 2013) Of course it was mounted on a tripod. I'm sure they took every precaution to get the best results they could. I wouldn't expect any different. Then again, I would do the same if I were going to take the same shot. 0 upvotes By tompabes2 (Sep 6, 2013) The main problem I see is the bad, really bad quality when the images are viewed at 100% size: look at the leaves, for example... the image looks almost "pixelated". I don't know if the problem is the noise reduction or compression algorithm, but certainly it would have been better to have a 13MP sensor with decent output (someone said GS4?) than a 20MP sensor with such a bad output at pixel level. Of course, when images are viewed at "facebook size" these artifacts disappear, but facebook audience is not exactly the target of an advanced cameraphone. 0 upvotes By ET2 (Sep 6, 2013) You can clearly see they are using tripos in the photos. So your argument blows up right there. 1 upvote By Menneisyys (Sep 6, 2013) "You can clearly see they are using tripos in the photos. So your argument blows up right there." Too bad - they don't mention this anywhere and can only be seen after checking out the images - as has been pointed out by others too, it's not common for smartphone shooters to use tripods. That is, comparing strictly tripod-only performance, where the lack of OIS / large(r) pixels isn't that big a problem, is, to put it mildly, not the most fair and/or most practice-simulating approach. 1 upvote actually, it's the first image that comes up from your link. You're making assumptions that the company only used a tripod for the sony phone. The most likely scenario was that the company used tripods for all phones and left them in auto. In which the sony did quite well. 0 upvotes By MistyFog (Sep 7, 2013) I am not surprised that Sony used a very long exposure time for that low-light shot on auto mode. I have a Sony NEX, in Auto mode it ALWAYS caps the ISO at 1600 and go crazy with the shutter speed, sometimes choosing 2-3 seconds exposure which is absurd for handheld shots. This is ridiculous and fair to say that Sony's Auto mode is unusable for low-light shots. 1 upvote By MistyFog (Sep 7, 2013) @Tonkotsu The 1020 baby shot is quite suspicious. The metering measurement should be quite similar between the 1020 and 920/925/928, it is highly unlikely you will get such drastic difference between the 1020 and 925. The 1020 is certainly very capable of handling a slower exposure time (1s to 1/3s is actually quite possible handheld). 1 upvote By Menneisyys (Sep 7, 2013) "The 1020 baby shot is quite suspicious. " Yup, the SONY folks didn't really configure every "tested" phone deliver at its best. For example, it's pretty easy to configure the iPhone 5 to extend the shutter speed up to 1s and, consequently, provide much better low-light shots. (I think I've already linked to my flickr set showing this in action: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33448355@N07/sets/72157634921449003/ . The pic names are pretty self-explanatory.) And the same stands for the 1020. It's capable of going up to 4s. It would certainly have taken a much better exposed image. 0 upvotes By thx1138 (Sep 5, 2013) Why I am pleased they went for a much larger sensor and fast lens, really 20.7MP is roughly 16.7MP too ,many and just a farcical number for a phone. The Experia Z only had 13MP on it's 1/3.2" sensor and it's IQ was nothing short of abysmal. I expect only in very good light at the lowest ISO will we see decent IQ, but of course on the tiny screen the downsampling will give the illusion of decent quality, which again begs the question why have 20.7MP? 0 upvotes By dbateman (Sep 5, 2013) 20Mp is a bit high. But since its on android, would be great for a 3rd party to write a binning software to improve noise. 5Mp would be enough and might offer great results. Would also be interesting to see if 4K video would be possible. But the process would really have to be fast to handle data. But might be more common now that other 4K phones are out. 0 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 5, 2013) "Would also be interesting to see if 4K video would be possible. But the process would really have to be fast to handle data. But might be more common now that other 4K phones are out." Snapdragon 800 (the SoC) supports 4K capturing. However, Sony decided not to enable 4K recording. Probably because of the lack of H.265 support or the too low throughput of the system. 0 upvotes By ybizzle (Sep 5, 2013) It's like no one is even trying to beat Nokia. Let's be honest. Both the 808 and 1020 are the phone camera kings. 20mp on a 1/2.3 sensor is going to yield abysmal image quality! 5 upvotes until there are android versions of the 1020/808, nokia is really only competing with itself. 4 upvotes By ybizzle (Sep 5, 2013) My solution has been to have 2 phones. I have a week day phone which is my android phone and on weekends, I switch to my 808 because I go out more and use the camera frequently. This way I have the best of both worlds. 1 upvote By HowaboutRAW (Sep 5, 2013) ybizzzle-- Before making image quality claims, why not wait for samples from the Sony. 1 upvote By KariIceland (Sep 5, 2013) HowaboutRAW i prefer to wait for samples from reviewers, waiting for "samples" from the manufacturer is like expecting a banker to not give you a fakeish report. 2 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 5, 2013) "Before making image quality claims, why not wait for samples from the Sony." The already-leaked ones are pretty poor - as anyone can expect from a 1/2.3" 20 Mpixel sensor in all contemporary Sony cameras / phones. Not only this one, but also the latest HX model. 2 upvotes By ybizzle (Sep 5, 2013) Anyone one with half brain can tell you that 20mp on that tiny sensor is going to give you poor results. If you like grainy pics, then go for it! 0 upvotes By dpmaxwell (Sep 5, 2013) "It's like no one is even trying to beat Nokia." Yeah, that's such an ironic sentiment. Considering Nokia just sold their phone business to Microsoft. 0 upvotes By wansai (Sep 6, 2013) dpmaxwell, why does that matter? the 1020 is still leaps and bounds better camera than the honami. i dont base how good a product is on how popular it is. I base it off of what i need it for. you know your smartphones? i used them way before they became popular with the masses because they did what i wanted from a mobile device. they werent popular back then. i didnt base my decision on popularity or successs of those companies. i based them on the product. 0 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 6, 2013) "wansai, no one cares about windows phones" YOU don't care. A lot of photo geeks do. After all, given that the Z1 doesn't really offer anything photo-related over the 1020 (or even the 808), the 1020 is still a MUCH better choice with MUCH better IQ than that of the Z1. Heck, not even 1080p60 recording is supported (let alone 4K), while for example the LG G2 or the 2014 Samsung Tab 10.1 does. That's another letdown ruling out the Z1 entirely for me (in favor of the above-mentioned two Android handsets / tablets). Comment edited 2 minutes after posting 0 upvotes By HowaboutRAW (Sep 6, 2013) KarliIceland+Menneisyys: There's a significant difference between what I wrote: "wait for samples from the Sony". And what you think I wrote, eg "wait for samples from Sony". Look just skimming y'all may have missed my point or y'all could be non-native English speakers (Karli maybe). My point remains, wait for samples from the Sony. Here "the" means pictures taken with this Sony, not limited to samples supplied by Sony the company. (Those samples can come from anyone who has access to the phone. And the reason I singled out the Sony is that samples from the Nokia 808+1040 already exist.) And before someone says it: Samples exclusively taken in bright daylight aren't real helpful. Karli-- I must ad that in the USA bankers statements are still respected, unlike Iceland almost all of them got away without prosecution. In other words we know the reports from big banks are fake but banker types abound too much in the USA's thinking about itself. Comment edited 6 minutes after posting 0 upvotes By MistyFog (Sep 7, 2013) "no one cares about windows phones". Spoken like a true fanboy. So all that honami hype is deflating faster than a leaky balloon. Sony used to be good, but lately they have been relying more on hype than actual substance. But this faked comparison by the hired gun is a new low. 1 upvote By Photog74 (Sep 5, 2013) It's extremely strange to read that a 1/2.3-type sensor is "large," even "comparatively large." Sure, it's bigger than a 1/3" one. But come on, it's still tinier than tiny. 1 upvote By ET2 (Sep 5, 2013) What's so strange? 1/2.3" sensor is larger than the sensor used in most phones (Note 3, IPhone, Galaxy HTC, etc) which is 1/3.1" size Sony also claims the image quality beats Nokia 1020 in blind tests, but that has to be tested by independent reviewers. http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/legal/testresults/xperia-z1/ Comment edited 3 minutes after posting 5 upvotes By Menneisyys (Sep 5, 2013) http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/legal/testresults/xperia-z1/ ? that should be taken by a big shovel of salt.

Nevertheless, it still can't take shots at ISO 25600 to keep the shutter speed high to avoid blur. Comment edited 24 seconds after posting 0 upvotes By Photog74 (Sep 6, 2013) No, its not even "large for a phone." The 1/1.2" sensor in the Nokia PureView 808 *was* large for a phone, even though a 1/1.2" imager is still quite small. But yeah, for a phone it was "large." Even the Lumia 1020's 1/1.5" (i.e. 2/3") sensor could be described as "large for a phone." But a 1/2.3" chip isn't "large" by anybody's standards. As I've said, sure, it's bigger than a 1/3" one, but it's still tinier than tiny. In case you didn't understand, it was specifically the word "large" that sounded strange to me with respect to a sensor this small. Comment edited 54 seconds after posting 0 upvotes no one cares about nokia's niche phones, so the fact that they have larger sensors is irrelevant.

"World's most compact high resolution camera"... until you notice that asterisk: compact is defined as 10mm thickness or below. The 1020 slightly miss the cut at 10.5mm. I doubt that Sony spends as much time on R&D as it does preparing cute little graphs, making up its own definitions (cleverly defining categories to exclude its rivals), twisting the truth, and resorting to hyperbole. 1 upvote By Menneisyys (Sep 7, 2013) "Were you the same author of that fake comparison report?

They won't. iOS7 is equally incapable as iOS6 (no manual modes at all) and the 5S leaks don't show a sensor with dramatically increased size or OIS. (And Android supports some manual modes - not as much as Nokia's phones though.) That is, all we will have is an IQ of the SG4 at max. No OIS, no 1020, no 808.

I went in to get a squirt thingy (not sure of the exact name) to help clean out the holes after eating on Thursday and it was after the appointment and while eating breakfast that I noticed I get a sharp pain on the right side of my tongue anytime I swallowed. I still have it now and it is really annoying. I saw a doctor and she thinks it may be an infection of sorts but not real positive. Please pray that this sharp pain that I am experiencing will go away because it gets really uncomfortable to swallow with it. Thank you.

East Building, Education Studios 1 and 2
Free for members; $3 Nonmembers
Sign up that day; first come, first served.
The Museum has so many animals in art. What animal will we explore this week?
Preschoolers, ages 2–5, and their caregivers discover a new adventure in the box each time and experience fun and engaging ways of looking at art together in the Museum and at home. Each session introduces a work of art from the Museum through one of six themes: animals, people, places, seasons/nature, movement, and parts of art. Activities are designed to stretch the imagination while children explore materials and make personal connections with art and their world. Everyone can collect "What's in the Box?" cards provided for each session; they are also downloadable here. Cards also in Spanish.

Why Choose the NAIA
• Why Choose the NAIA |
Good financial decision, institutional flexibility and autonomy, straightforward approach to rules — learn more about what the NAIA has to offer your institution. Contact Kevin Dee, Vice President for Campus and Conference Initiatives at 816.595.8000
Active membership in the NAIA is open to four-year colleges and universities and upper-level, two-year institutions in the United States and Canada that award the bachelor's (baccalaureate) degree, or its equivalent. Institutions in the U.S. must be fully accredited by one of the six regional accrediting bodies; Canadian institutions must have accreditation from the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. Associate membership is accorded to institutions that meet the criteria but do not hold full membership in one of the accrediting bodies or to institutions that hold full accreditation but are classified as developing athletic programs.
Every NAIA institution must sponsor a minimum of six NAIA championship sports no later than the beginning of the fourth full academic year of active NAIA membership. Single gender institutions must sponsor a minimum of three NAIA championship sports no later than the beginning of the fourth full academic year of active NAIA membership. Affiliated NAIA conferences often have more strict sponsorship requirements.
Institutions in the process of building sports programs have the option of sponsoring an intercollegiate sport and opting out of NAIA championships on a year-by-year basis. This affords the institution scheduling advantages and requires application of NAIA rules for participating student-athletes in that sport.
