After restoring a nice old 1938 Sparton Model 1568 console radio, I
was so impressed with the quality of the sound that I started looking
building an amplifier using the same 2A3 output tubes that the big
Sparton 1568
After a lot of web research I found a few schematics that I liked from
Labs http://members.myactv.net/~je2a3/welcome.htm
The first one was the 2001 version using a 6SL7 driver and the 2A3
Here is that schematic:
The above version only used one stage of amplification ahead of the
2A3, and the next version used both halves of the 6SL7 as a 2 stage
The above circuit shows the power supply as well as both channels of
the stereo amplifier. Instead of the 76 tube, I used one half of the
for the first preamp stage and the other half of the same 6SL7 for the
second stage of the preamp, so the schematic is the same, it just uses
one 6SL7 per channel, and no 76 tubes.
There were several modifications of this basic circuit including a
version below.
Amplifier Section:
Power Supply Section
Above is the shunt regulated push pull driver stage with
ended 2A3 output. A similar schematic uses the 6SL7 as a 2 stage
I might try it wired both ways.
Here is a longer dissertation of the amplifier theory that I wrote
Go To Tube Amp Theory Page
I found a variety of different amplifiers that homebrew builders made.
I liked the looks of this amp with the nice wood frame and black
After deciding on the basic circuit, the SRPP version, I read a bunch
of webpages about various amps and the different brands of components
use in the construction. Specifically I did Google searches on the
2A3 schematic, 2A3 amp, 2A3 amplifier, and a few others. I
to use good quality parts but to try to keep the cost down as much as
It appears to me that the transformers, "iron," are probably the most
components, followed by the signal capacitors, so I tried to find very
good parts for those components but still not go crazy with the cost.
be told, I purchased a lot of the parts off of Ebay, such as the tubes,
sockets, some teflon coated silver plated wire, and a dozen Russian
uf paper in oil (PIO) capacitors to use for the signal caps.
Here are some pieces of the lumber that I got at a local hardwood
store. I was just going to use something like cherry or walnut, but
had this beautiful piece of wood at the lumber shop that was called
cherry, or Jatoba wood. It had a beautiful color, nice grain, and was
dense as a rock. While I generally try to make earth friendly purchases
and lifestyle choices, I went against my better moral principles and
the piece of wood, feeling guilty al the way home envisioning it
in a magnificent tropical rain forest. Anyway, here is what the pieces
looked like after cutting them to the rough length. Fortunately my
does a lot of woodworking so I took the pieces down the street and cut
the 45 degree angles for the corners on his compound miter saw, and
grooves for the panel to set down in to.
I had to cut out an opening in the back panel for the switch and
connections so I went to work with a router and some borrowed bits.
At the same time I was purchasing various components and had the
together so I could make a layout on paper. I wish I had done the work
myself but I took the template to a local plastics shop and had them
the large holes and make the panel up from 3/16 inch thick phenolic XX,
may be the Garolite XX material. That was chosen for its strength and
I will have to drill all the little holes later.
Well that is where I am right now, still putting the frame and panel
together, but am eager to get started on the electrical construction.
OK, I have put the wood together for the base of the frame and finished
it with spray lacquer. I put the back panel on recessed a little so it
was not so deep in the opening from the back. The corners are glued
2 biscuits in each corner to reinforce the joints, as well as a little
wedge of wood glued in for additional reinforcement and to attach a
perforated panel.
The box is nice and square and very solid. I drilled pilot holes for
all the screws since this wood is so dense. Shown above is the frame
some of the transformers that will be used.
This is a close up of the power transformer. It has two 2.5 V @ 3A
windings for the 2A3 tube filaments, one 5V @ 3A winding for the
rectifier filament, one 6.3V @ 2A winding for the driver tube
and a 280V- 0-280V @ 150 mA for the plate voltage. It is a Mars model
transformer specifically made for this circuit.
Next, I mounted the transformers and tube sockets on the panel and
attached it to the wood frame. This is what it looked like before
it up. The output transformers are James 6113-HS purchased from
Audio. The sockets are vintage ceramic sockets.
This is the completed chassis showing the wiring underneath. The green
capacitors are the signal caps connecting the drivers to the power
The pots at the top are the volume controls. The pots under the 4 pin
are the hum balance pots. I fired it up and checked the voltages and
the voltages were right on the money according to the schematic, but
was a lot of hum especially when I touched the volume controls. I then
connected a grounding wire to the housings of the voluime control pots
and the hum went away. There is just a barely audible trace of hum with
the volume controls full open and no signal input. My son provided his
iPod for a test run and I hooked it up to a pair of Klipsch RB-35
and the sound was loud clear and beautiful. No further adjustments
I also listened with a pair of Fostex single driver speakers I got from
Fritz in California, who sells under fritzspeakers on Ebay and it
even better with a perfect tonal balance and huge volume.
Here is the finished amp. Not a very good photo so will get another
one up soon.
Will add a list of the parts used next update.
Mars LM-130-D power transformer 120 VAC primary, Sec
2.5V @ 3A, 2.5V @ 3A, 5V @ 3A, 6.3V @ 2A, 280-0-280V @ 150 mA.
The Mars transformers were purchased from VT4C.com
in Hong Kong, and they also have tubes, knobs, wood frames, panels,
and just about everything you might need, but the shipping is a bit
to get the parts half way around the world.

More photos of other amps I have built recently:
This one just finished in October 2009. It uses a vintage power
and vintage single ended Zenith OT-1 audio output transformers. The
is a 5Y3G, the preamp/drivers are 12AX7's and the output tubes are
I found a pair of vintage Zenith 6V6G tall tubes that give the amp a
classic appearance than the short 6V6GT style tubes.
Front view. The power switch is on the right and the RCA input jacks
are on the left.
Rear view. The wood is wolid walnut with lacquer finish and the 2 end
pieces are held together with the 2 walnut dowels.
Below are some photos of a second amp that I
This one used a vintage power transformer and a vintage 12 H choke that
I got from Gary Schneider. I did need to get a separate 2.5 V filament
transformer for the 2A3's since the old power transformer did not have
a 2.5 volt winding. I used a slightly different circuit but same basic
components, it was called the 2001 version of the 2A3 stereo
from Angela Instruments. This one used Transcendar output transformers
and all the "iron" is black. I repainted the vintage transformers with
gloss black Rustoleum paint and it looks great. The sound is awesome.
I used a bid JJ 500 uf at 500 V filter capacitor on this one and that
plus the 12 H choke makes for zero hum and great volume and super
with the Fostex speakers. The underneath of the chassis looks a little
messy, but not too crowded as the whole unit is about 12 x 18 inches
OK, here is one more that I made with trasnformers from Mars
excellent output transformers and the same power transformer as the
project above.
Top view, flash made some wierd light pattern on the panel but shows
the general layout.
Inside view. It started out neat but got into a bit of a jumble as
things went on. I have a better idea for the ground strip layout on the
next project. I have to use a brass ground bus strip since the chassis
panel is nonconductive and it needs a central grounding point.
Guitar Amp Project
This is pretty far from what I usually do, but it is my first attempt
to build a vintage looking guitar tube amp for a friend. Fortunately, I
managed to salvage a chassis from an old 1960's stereo that had good
and output transformers and had similar tube line up to what I was
to build. I wanted to use a Fender 5E5 Pro-Amp circuit and make it in a
cabinet with the old tweed and some custom touches. It is still in the
works but here are a couple of photos of the construction.
This is the underside of the chassis after most of the rewiring and
component replacement.
This is the cabinet mostly assembled with the tweed Tolex applied and
the birds eye mable accent panel on the top.
Finally finished the guitar amp. Here are the photos. It works great
with the 12 inch Peavey 6505 guitar speaker.
Front view shows grille cloth and matching color handle.
Rear view shows the speaker and you can see the chassis mounted from
the top.
Second Guitar Amp Project
This amp is nearly finished. It uses more or less the same chassis
as the above, with push pull 6L6 output tubes, a 5U4G rectifier, 12AY7
input and 12AX7 driver/phase inverter. It has a 16 ohm Eminence 12 inch
diameter speaker and will shake the walls. I still have to make some
parts and the front grille. The wood is solid mahogany, and is
the same Fender 5E5 Pro Amp schematic.
Finally finished this guitar amp and had a friend come over and play
it. Sounds great, awesome volume.
Tha mahogany finish doesn't show up too well in the photos, but it
looks like fine furniture.

Either way, I do remember those signs from my childhood, and it is a bummer to see them get taken down, but I don't think it's going to translate into a negative guest experience.
They may not notice the hotel off the bat, but I'm sure the new sign will be up shortly. Now, from reading this thread, I wasn't able to guess anything, but are they going to put up a new sign? If so, I don't know why they wouldn't maintain the original font. Does Anaheim's sign code prohibit that font?

County wants to make route safer for deer, motorists
By Pat Murphy Mountain Express The Blaine County Commission in January, formally requested funds to study the complicated problem of preventing deer and elk from collisions with vehicles on state Highway 75 that leave upwards of 50 of the animals killed each year and heavy property damage or loss to drivers.
If approved by the Idaho Transportation Department, the requested $64,500 would be pooled with $1,300 in county funds and another $500 in private donations in what is titled, the State Highway 75 Wildlife Crossing Mitigation Project.
The study, according to Commission Chairman Dennis Wright, would attempt to gather statistics on population of ungulates that cross Highway 75, what attracts them to cross the highwaysuch as water or food sourcesand what technological devices might be available to warn motorists and wildlife and avoid collisions.
The ITD has designated four hot spots in a 27-mile stretch of highway 75 between Ketchum and just south of Bellevue as major migration crossings.
However, farther south and east of Highway 75, a wildlife crossing on U.S. 20 between Picabo and Carey has avoided road kills for the past week or so.
Carey Mayor Rick Baird, who also is manager of Friedman Memorial Airport in Hailey, told the commissioners that a battery-powered flashing light at the migration crossing on U.S. 20 seems to have stemmed the road kills.
"Thereve been no road kills in the past week," Baird said, ascribing it to the lights. He said such devices should be installed in the spring and fall when the elk and deer migrant. If left flashing year-round, Baird said motorists might become blasé and ignore the lights.
Commissioner Sarah Michael said the Transportation Department plans to test a system of reflectors at Peregrine Ranch, just north of Hailey, which is one of the four major migration routes along Highway 75. The reflectors are designed to warn wildlife of auto traffic.
Michael also said that U.S. vehicle-wildlife collisions have become a major factor in soaring insurance losses. She quoted the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety as reporting collisions with wildlife in the Lower 48 states have cost $1.1 billion in losses, 150 human lives and the loss of 1.5 million deer since the organization began keeping statistics.
Wright said that public attention often focuses on the plight of the wildlife but overlooks devastating property losses and human injuries.
He described the terror a driver of a small car would experience if a large elk or deer were struck, and perhaps propelling the heavy animal through the windshield and into the drivers lap.

M&S Luxury Christmas Cake is one of the best fruit cakes I have ever eaten. It is moist, fruity and you can taste the brandy, which is just superb.
It nevers last long in our house, and the icing and marzipan are very nice aswell. A great treat for any unexpected visitors, it will certainly impress them.
It can be quite expensive, depending on the size you buy, but it is only once a year and it really is worth it!! High recommended…

In the sixth century it was the seat of a monastry presided over by St. Illtyd, though nothing remains from Celtic times but a collection of ninth century crosses in the church, which dates from the thirteenth century and is of peculiar interest. The town possesses a medieval town hall, and the ruins of a manor house. In a neighbouring field were discovered the foundations of a Roman villa. Overlooking the shore are some earthworks."

Herbed Tofu in white wine sauce
Also known as bean curd, tofu is one of the most popular ingredients in vegetarian cooking. It is made of soymilk and has a delicate flavor with a soft and silky texture that melts in the mouth. It is often used as a substitute for meat because it is high in protein can be flavored in so many different ways and takes on various tastes, absorbing spices and seasonings very well. In this recipe, tofu is seasoned with a creamy white wine sauce for a special yet simple gourmet recipe.
Tofu has a short shelf life so when buying, buy as fresh as possible. Bad tofu has a foul smell and taste awful. Organic tofu is best. Tofu is often packed with liquid. Before cooking, drain the liquid and rinse the tofu by submerging it in fresh cool water. If you are going to store it in the fridge for later use, place it in a clean airtight container covered in fresh cold water. The water needs to be replaced everyday to keep the tofu fresh.
Tofu comes in many different forms. Some are firm while others are extra soft. For this recipe, firmer tofu is ideal so that it does not disintegrate into the sauce when cooking and will hold its shape well. You can also use soft tofu for this recipe, however, since it goes well with the creamy sauce. Take note that soft tofu cooks faster than the firmer ones.
After draining the form tofu, press it down gently with a clean towel to get rid of excess water. One way to get rid of the moisture is to heat the tofu in a nonstick or Teflon pan on both sides so that the water can evaporate and you have more flavorful and taut tofu with a perfect texture.
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
1/2 cup skimmed milk
1/2 cup white wine
1 chopped onion
1 dash cloves - ground
Salt to taste
1 cup water
200gms herbed tofu
In a saucepan melt the butter and add flour to it. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool slightly and then add wine.
To this add onion, cloves, and salt to taste and stir it on low flame, keep stirring. Allow it to simmer till the desired consistency is achieved.
Add tofu and let it cook on low flame. You can serve tofu and sauce with steamed rice or pasta.

Virginia Connection?
I always loved your character on Family Matters, and I loved you in Big Fat Liar. You are fantastic on Dancing with the Stars! Rumor was, you were at the University of Virginia when I was in college in Virginia as well, between 1995-1999. Did you indeed go to UVA? What was your major? Are you from Virginia, and what did you think of your experience there?

Each issue of GOOD Magazine opens with a graphic statement from a featured guest. The last issue featured a statement created by the Worldchanging team (with artistic assistance from GOOD's fantastic graphic team).
The first spread features imagery from Ed Burtynsky, and the second a huge collection of solutions that we've covered on the site and in the book.
We inherited a broken future...So we're building a better one.
Seconding the request for a high-res version :)
I was an advertising major at the School of Visual Arts 6 years ago where a professor told me that if I wanted truely to promote "socially conscious messages," I may be in the wrong field.
Now in 2007 I am seeing such powerful ideas appearing in bold graphics and through media.
Good is a wonderful magazine and I am hopeful for the field of advertising doing something beneficial again!

# Classes --- ## eos.class.php ### Equation Operating System This class makes it incredibly easy to use and parse/solve equations in your own applications. It includes a graph generator to turn an equation with a variable in to a `y=x` graph, with the capability to calculate the upper and lower `y-bounds`. __NOTE__ NONE of the functions within these two classes are static, any example that looks like a static function call is representational of the class being used, but should be initialized and assigned to a variable first. It is also important to note that these classes throw exceptions if running in to errors, please read the beginning of the `eos.class.php` file for the defines of the exceptions thrown. Exceptions includes a descriptive message of the error encountered and within `eqEOS` will also typically include the full equation used. #### eqEOS This class has one important function, `eqEOS::solveIF()` which does all the legwork, so we'll start there and end with examples. To initialize this class, use: $eos = new eqEOS(); ##### solveIF($infix, $variables) To use this function: $value = $eos->solveIF($eq, $vars); ###### _$infix_ Is simply a standard equation with variable support. Variables have two forms, one is native to PHP programmers already, prefixed with '$'. The other way to declare a variable is with '&' and is included for backward compatibility for with the initial version from 2005. Example Equations: 2(4$x) 2(4&x) 5+ ((1+2)*4) +3 5+4(1+2)+3 10*sin($x) 10*cos($x) The first two pairs shown are exactly the same. The parser has good implied multiplication, for everything but allowed functions. Allowed functions require an implicit operator on either/both sides to work properly, I hope to change that in the next revision; but for now, note that it will not work as you would expect. For example: 5sin(1.5707963267) = 51 5*sin(1.5707963267) = 5 sin(1.5707963267)5 = 15 The reason is because there is no implied multiplication being applied, the result of `sin(1.5707963267) = 1` is being concatenated with the number 5, giving incredibly odd results if you are not expecting it. ###### _$variables_ The variables are fairly simple to understand. If it contains a scalar (ie a non-array value) _every_ variable within the equation will be replaced with that number. If it contains an array, there will be a by-variable replacement - note that the array MUST be in the format of `'variable' => value` Such as: array( 'x' => 2, 'y' => 3 ) Given the equation: 5$x^$y If this is called by: eqEOS::solveIF('5$x^$y', 2) It will equal '20', as every variable is replaced by 2. However, if called like: eqEOS::solveIF('5$x^$y', array( 'x' => 2, 'y' => 3); You will get the result of '40' as it would equate to '5*2^3', as expected. #### eqGraph This is the fun class that can create graphs. It extends `eqEOS`. To initialize use: $graph = new eqGraph($width, $height); The `$width` and `$height` are the values used for the image size, defaulting to a `640x480` image size if initialized with `$graph = new eqGraph();` ##### graph($eq, $xLow, $xHigh, $xStep, [$xyGrid, $yGuess, ...]) This method will generate the graph for the equation (`$eq`) with a min and max `x` range that it will parse through. All Variables explained: * `$eq` The Standard Equation to use. _Must_ have a variable in it. (ie `$x`) * `$xLow` The starting point for the calculations - the left side of the graph. * `$xHigh` The last point calculated for the variable - the right side of the graph. * `$xStep` Stepping point for the variable. Suggested not to use a value less than `.01`. This is the precision of the graph. * `$xyGrid = false` Show `x/y` gridlines on the graph. Defaults to false. Each grid line is set at every integer (ie `1,2,3,...100`). If working with small ranges, it is suggested to turn this on. * `$yGuess = true` Guess the Lower and Upper `y-bounds` (The bottom and top of the image respectively.) This will set the the bounds to the lowest `y` value encountered for the `$yLow`, and the largest `y` value for `$yHight`. * `$yLow = false` Lower bound for `y`, will be reset if a lower value for `y` is found. * `$yHigh = false` Upper bound for `y`, will be reset if a larger `y` value is found. TODO: * Add `x` and `y` labels * Smart `grid spacing` calculations so can be effective with large ranges. * Smart (default) `$xStep` calcuations based on image size and ranges. To set up a graph with a `21x21` window (ie `-10 to 10`) for the equation `sin($x)` and output as PNG, would use as: $graph->graph('sin($x)', -10, 10, 0.01, true, false, -10, 10); $graph->outPNG(); It would look like: ![Sin(x)](http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/1380/sinx21x21.png) --- |

text: Hotel PalafitteNeuchâtel, Switzerland ABOVE: If you stay at the Hotel Palafitte, splurge on a lake pavilion. INSET BELOW: The bottom of Lake Neuchâtel, viewed from a floor-level window. Switzerland is justly celebrated for its hotels and modern architects, and the Hôtel Palafitte shows what can be accomplished when hoteliers and designers collaborate with a budget of 20 million Swiss francs. The hotel, which lies on the outskirts of Neuchâtel in French-speaking Switzerland, is one of the most distinctive hostelries that you're likely to encounter. It's also said to be the only hotel in Europe that's built above water, with 24 of its 40 "pavilions" or junior suites perched on pilings over Lake Neuchâtel.Why it was built The Hôtel Palafitte was built as a temporary structure for Expo.02, a Swiss exhibition that took place in 2002. It was financed by the Sandoz Family Foundation (which also financed the Riffelalp Resort above Zermatt) and designed by architect Kurt Hoffman of Lausanne, Switzerland. The goal was to create a state-of-the-art, 21st Century hotel using "sustainable architecture" that would allow the hotel's components to be rebuilt or recycled after Expo.02. In the end, the hotel was such a hit with architectural critics, guests, and local tourist officials that the Swiss government granted permission for it to stay open despite laws that normally forbid structures over public lakes. What makes it unique Besides having an aquatic setting, the Hôtel Palafitte makes use of environmentally friendly features such as solar panels for hot water and electricity, heating with biogas from kitchen waste, and rainwater collection for toilet flushing. The hotel was also designed as a showcase for Siemens electronic technology, although some of the leading-edge features from Expo.02 (such as biometric fingerprint scanning in lieu of room keys) have fallen by the wayside for reasons of practicality or privacy. It's a hotel that would appeal to a Google engineer, a Microsoft programmer, or the kind of person who enjoys choosing TV channels with a remote that works like a Palm Pilot.

ROBERT DILLON: Let's levy tax on energy firms involved, to cover road damage
One might wonder why oil companies have fracking sand hauled from Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota for use in oil and gas fields in North Dakota and Texas.
The best frac sand consists of nearly pure quartz. There are other grades used for hydraulic fracturing. It is a process used in oil and gas wells, with a mixture of water and chemicals that is injected into wells under high pressure to open cracks and pores in shale rock, freeing trapped oil and gas.
Fracking a single well consumes up to 1,600 tons of sand. There are other types of proppants used as well, including resin-coated sand and man-made ceramics.
Oil field service firms can pay $300 per ton for processed sand delivered to the wellhead. This cost depends on the grade of sand used at different locations.
Transporting these types of sand long distances is done with close hopper railcars by railroads, usually 80-100 car trainloads to points in Texas such as Lubbock, Cleburne and San Antonio. It's distributed from those points either by short-line railroads or dump trucks.
Which brings me to the point of this article — not only are these dump trucks used to carry sand to the oil rigs, there also are water trucks and chemical trucks besides special equipment trucks, and they are used over our state roads, farm roads, county roads and city streets.
All are being damaged by the heavy tonnage carried by these vehicles.
It's not all bad news — our local businesses profit, our labor force increases with better wages, which boosts our economy. It also increases our tax revenue.
For for those of us who are retired with a fixed income, it's degrading our standard of living. I suggest that our Tom Green County Commissioners Court ask state Rep. Drew Darby to seek a severance tax to be issued on those who profit from this oil boom in Tom Green County, the same type of severance tax issued to DeWitt County.
With Darby's pull with the House speaker, he shouldn't have a problem. The representative for DeWitt County did a good for the people he represents there. If it isn't going to be done, the local taxpayers will be expected to do it after the dust settles.

The Dark Knight
I agree with dialup that TDK is the best hero movie ever, however I think it transcends the sub-genre and stands along with other classic films. I also didn't feel the movie had the pacing issues that dialup describes, though I do understand where you're coming from... it is quite up and down. Personally, I felt that added to the movie because you think things are done, but the it's like "no no... it aint going to be that easy". I agree that the final joker fight isn't as good of a scene as the 5th street chase. That was just incredible.
Hellboy 2
Chock another recommendation. I pretty much agree entirely with Yaminb. Good clean fun, funny and good action. Maybe not worth a full price theater admission, but if you can catch it in a drive-in double feature or a budget theater then it's not a bad way to spend an evening.

Yen Rises Second Day as China Manufacturing Slows; Euro Weakens
April 23 (Bloomberg) -- The yen strengthened for a second day versus the euro and the dollar after an industry report showed Chinese manufacturing expanded at a slower pace, increasing demand for safer assets.
Japan's currency advanced at least 0.6 percent against all 16 of its major counterparts before euro-area data that economists said will show industrial output in the region slowed for a 21st month. The euro fell as an index of German manufacturing declined more than economists forecast. The New Zealand and Australian dollars declined due to the signs of slowdown in China, their largest trading partner
"The market has been very much positioned for risk-on trade so the yen has become the funding vehicle of choice for those trades," said Jonathan Cavenagh, a currency strategist at Westpac Banking Corp. in Singapore. "If we're entering into an environment where we're a bit more uncertain about the growth outlook for China, therefore Asia more broadly, now is maybe not the time to be piling into those types of trades."
The yen rose 1.2 percent to 128.05 per euro at 8:47 a.m. London time after appreciating 0.2 percent yesterday. Japan's currency gained 0.6 percent to 98.59 per dollar after falling to 99.95 on April 11, the weakest since April 2009. The euro declined 0.6 percent to $1.2994.
HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics said their China's Purchasing Managers' Index had a preliminary reading of 50.5 in April, compared with a final 51.6 for March. A level above 50 indicates expansion.
Chinese Growth
China's stocks declined as the report added to an unexpected slowdown in economic growth, reported last week, that prompted banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to cut full-year forecasts.
A PMI for manufacturing industries in the euro area dropped to 46.7 in April from 46.8 the previous month, London-based Markit Economics will say today, according to a Bloomberg News survey. German manufacturing PMI dropped to 47.9 from 49, Markit said. Economists had predicted it would be unchanged.
The Australian and New Zealand dollars declined as the slowdown in China signaled a worsening outlook for the two nations' exports.
"We're not seeing a sustained period of recovery in the China data, which is a bit of a concern," said David Forrester, a senior vice president for Group of 10 foreign-exchange strategy at Macquarie Bank Ltd. in Singapore. "It's a reflection of weaker global growth, and it's not good news for the Aussie or the kiwi."
Australia's currency weakened 0.5 percent to $1.0226 after sliding to $1.0221, the lowest since March 11. New Zealand's dollar fell 0.7 percent to 83.63 U.S. cents.

Clayton News Daily
By Kathy Jefcoats
More than 20 families have been displaced after Clayton County police shut down a Jonesboro trailer park because water service was disconnected Aug. 1 for nonpayment.
Police are also investigating owner Victoria Holland for possible criminal activity, said Lt. Tina Daniel. Daniel declined to elaborate, citing the ongoing investigation. Daniel said police began Friday to relocate families living at Maria's Mobile Home Park on Museum Circle in Jonesboro.
"Everyone was to be gone by Wednesday afternoon," said Daniel. "No one should be living there now."
Clayton County Water Authority spokeswoman Suzanne Brown said Holland owes about $13,000 in outstanding water bills. Brown said service was disconnected Aug. 1 after officials gave her a 30-day notice.
"She met with our general manager on Aug. 2 and agreed to a payment plan over the next 12 months," said Brown. "She was to bring in a payment of about $1,000 the next day, and we agreed to restore service after she made the payment."
But Brown said Holland did not return as planned.
"We never heard back from her and she hasn't made a payment," said Brown.
Holland does not live in the park and could not be reached for comment. In some news reports, Holland says there was confusion as to whether she or residents are responsible for the $4,000-per-month water bill. But water authority officials said company policy is that the property owner is solely responsible.
Daniel said several advocacy groups were unsuccessful in their attempts to help pay the bill.
Police condemned the park because housing codes do not allow people to live in structures without running water, said Daniel.
"We've not gotten a lot of cooperation from Ms. Holland," she said. "The residents are truly the victims here. It is unfortunate that we had to do this but we didn't just come in at the last minute, and we are assisting residents the best we can."
Clayton Police Sgt. Otis Willis III said Holland was served with a notice of violation. She has been given until Friday to have the water turned on or face multiple citations.
"She was told if the water is not turned on by then, she can be cited for each occupied unit," said Willis.
Willis said 21 of the park's 27 trailers were occupied at the time water service was disconnected. Once water service is restored, residents could return to their homes as long as the structures are in code compliance, he said.
Clayton County Code Enforcement officers cited Holland in Sept. 2009 for failing to maintain property that fronts the park along Tara Boulevard. The county spent $1,175 on a forced cleaning of the property to remove rubbish and cut grass, according to Magistrate Court records. Holland was reportedly told to take preventive measures to deter the dumping of trash on the property.
She pleaded no contest to the citation and was fined $100 and sentenced to five days in jail. The jail sentence was to be suspended pending prompt payment of the fine.

What is the 'best' or what is your favorite shotgun for trap/skeet shooting? Are over/unders prefered? Do semi-autos work well? Any specific models or brands?

Trap and Skeet are two different games, and have somewhat different criteria. Trap guns are adjusted to shoot high, since targets are rising, while skeet guns(like field shotguns) shoot dead on, at least in theory.Trap guns run a bit heavier,also.
I'm no expert at either, nor clays, just a generalized shooter. The most oft used clays gun tends to be a semi auto,with the Remington 1100 the most popular. O/Us tend to be Brownings, Berettas, etc, and are almost as widely used as the autos. IMO, a good way to start out would be to get a semi,probably a used 1100,with choke tubes. Set the stock so it patterns half a pattern high,and go play. After burning up some ammo, I think you'll have a better idea of what works for YOU. Also, instead of going for expensive and possibly useless mods and addons, get some professional training. A good shotist can shoot well with any clunker, the key is form, fit and practice. |

Winchester 97 with a heat shield and a bayonet would be as good as any...and help to make the range trip memorable for all other shooters

I shoot both games a fair bit but with two different guns both over/unders. If I were starting out again, I would buy a Beretta A390 or the newer 391. Shoot open chokes for skeet and at least modified for trap. The only downside of the semi is if you reload because it's a pain to go chasing after your hulls. If you like either game you can get a specialized gun later.

Stella Bowen : Art, Love and War
Stella Bowen : Art, Love & War was the first retrospective of the work of the expatriate Australian artist, Stella Bowen. In 1944 Bowen was appointed an official war artist by the Australian War Memorial. As a result, the Memorial holds the largest single collection of her works, presented in this exhibition for the first time in the context of a body of her work brought together from Australia, the USA and the United Kingdom. The exhibition opened in 2002 and subsequently toured around Australia.
Stella Bowen is best known in Australia for the works of art she completed while an official war artist. During the Second World War, Bowen worked in Britain depicting the activities of Bomber Command and the return of Prisoners of War from Germany. Bomber crew, her most celebrated work, is a moving portrait of a group of young men reported lost on operations before the painting was completed.
Bowen left Australia in 1914, aged 20, never to return. The many paintings and drawings of her early years overseas reveal a woman trying to balance art with the demands of motherhood and her relationship with the writer Ford Madox Ford. While her work reflects a close association with the literary and artistic leaders of the 1920s and 30s, this exhibition uncovers a more deeply personal journey. It culminates in the mature work of the war years, where both "large and small worlds" come together.
The works in this exhibition were drawn from the Australian War Memorial and from collections in Britain, the United States of America and Australia; most have never before been seen by the public.

She Rolled the Dice First
Marly Bradshaw welcomed the challenge of spending two months in Thailand installing a computer system for one of Bangkok's newest luxury hotels. She also welcomed the opportunity to set Alex Hamilton, hotel magnate and notorious womanizer, up for a fall.
It meant Marly had to play a dangerous game-she had to make Alex fall in love with her. The danger was twofold-Marly knew only too well that Alex didn't play any game by the rules and she suspected that her own heart could easily be broken.

Unlike other Brazilian cities, Cuiaba may not be the best location to host the coveted FIFA World Cup. The place lacks the unique charm of soccer and party what a visitor expects from Brazil. But amidst all the negative factors, Cuiaba is still a place to boast of because of the underlying beauty of people and places that culminates in one single location.
The capital of the state Mato Grosso, Cuiaba is exactly situated in the center of the country. The city is noted for its cultural activities and gastronomy and is considered the urban seat of the state.
The location of Cuiaba has slowed down the city from further development and communication and even caused its labour shortage. Moreover, it is not a place frequented by travellers unless one plans to visit the spectacular natural beauty in the wetlands of Pantanal. The region is considered as the best location in South America to catch unique flora and fauna that adorns this region.
Arena Pantanal
The Arena Pantanal was constructed with the intent to host the World Cup. The old stadium, Estádio José Fragelli, was replaced by the new one and will be considered as the main football stadium of the state.
Estádio José Fragelli was demolished in 2010 to finish the new one within the deadline as set by FIFA to host the matches. However, during construction, there came a lot of protest and hassles. Initially the status looked grim with high probability of failure to accomplish the project within time. But the valiant efforts put behind setting-up the stadium finally came as a success, albeit delayed.
The stadium offers 43,000 seating capacity during the World Cup. Around 15,000 seats will be removed after the end of the tournament.
Arena Pantanal was built by GCP Arquitetos. Their main focus was to exercise maximum sustainability and security, essential to host such a gigantic event.
Rows of plants have been planted on every corner of the stadium, along with giant parking space to accommodate 15,000 vehicles.
Travel and Living
Arena Pantanal is located around 4 miles from the center of the city and it is easy to reach the stadium by taking a cab for a short ride.
During the World Cup it expects a large crowd will turn up in this small city. There are couple of good hotels near the stadium and the central area of the city. But considering the anticipated heavy rush, it is better to book a place beforehand.
Cuiaba is known for its intense heat during the summer. But in the winter season, the temperature drops to an average of 16 °C, giving respite from the bludgeoning heat. Those planning to catch live actions in the city will face a nice cool weather during the World Cup since June and July are the coldest months.
Match Schedules
The Arena Pantanal is slated to host four group matches. These are: Chile vs. Australia (June 13), Russia vs. South Korea (June 17), Nigeria vs. Bosnia-Hercegovina (June 21) and Japan vs. Colombia (June 24).

May 8, 2007 Existing In Bodies Tethered To The Earth
The physical self can seem like an encumbrance at times. We have little control over its demands, we must monitor it consistently, and its relative fragility can be discomfiting. Many people, therefore, unconsciously long to escape the confinement of their bodies, and this longing can manifest itself as physical discomfort, difficulty adjusting to the rigors of day-to-day existence, or a tendency to shy away from all that is associated with the human earthly experience. Yet the lifetime of physical existence we each must endure represents a vital plateau in our progression as enlightened beings. We inhabit our bodies for a reason. There is much we can learn while coping with the challenges, sensations, and sensitivities of the human body that we could not have grasped had we remained in spirit form. When we leave our physical selves behind to return to our original state, we will enjoy a supreme sense of freedom-yet we will always value the time we spent on earth.

PCA3 (prostate cancer antigen 3) gene is one of the most prostate cancer-specific genes at present. Consequently, the prostate-specific expression and the sharp up-regulation of PCA3 mRNA in prostate cancer suggest a unique transcriptional regulation, which possibly can be attributed to promoter polymorphism. In our study, we evaluated whether there is polymorphism in PCA3 promoter region and also assess the association of the polymorphism with prostate cancer.
We designed a specific primer set to screen the promoter of PCA3 gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based cloning and sequencing with the DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples of prostate cancer (PCa) cases (n?=?186) and healthy control cases (n?=?135). Genotype-specific risks were estimated as odds ratios (ORs) with associated 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by chi-square test. Possible deviation of the genotype frequencies from controls and PCa cases expected under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was assessed by the chi-square test. Short tandem repeat polymorphism of TAAA was found in the promoter region of PCA3 gene, five polymorphisms and eight genotypes were identified. The eight genotypes were divided into three groups: =10TAAA, 11TAAA, =12TAAA. The group 11TAAA and =12TAAA were associated with higher relative risk for prostate cancer than group =10TAAA (OR?=?1.76, 95%CI?=?1.07–2.89[for group 11TAAA]; OR?=?5.28, 95%CI?=?1.76–15.89[for group =12TAAA]).
The presence of the (TAAA)n short tandem repeat polymorphisms in the PCA3 promoter region may be a risk factor for prostate cancer in the Chinese population.

Sacred sightings - an ongoing series
You all know how much I love these holy manifestations. A Colombian sailor sees Virgin Mary in his empy coffee cup:
Rafael Barrios saw the heavenly markings as he finished off his early-morning drink in Cartagena's appropriately named The Divine Child workshop.Sadly, there doesn't appear to be a decent photo of it. The one at the link is too small to judge its authenticity. One can only hope some over-zealous dishwasher doesn't inadvertently destroy it. [image via]
The business has since become a make-shift shrine, with worshipers visiting in their droves to leave lit candles outside its entrance.
And Barrios believes last Tuesday's 'message' is directed specifically to him – as it marked 18 years since his motorboat capsized and he started praying to the Virgin.

The Metal God will be mortal for a bit this spring. With a new album and tour looming, Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford has revealed that he has to undergo surgery for an umbilical hernia that he says looks like "the alien just burst forth!" Halford had surgery last year to treat some back issues that had been bothering him for years, but he says the hernia is not causing him debilitating pain and the surgery is expected to be straightforward. Judas Priest is preparing for the July 15 release of "Redeemer of Souls," the group's first new album in six years and its first with guitarist Richie Faulkner, who replaced co-founder KK Downing in 2011. The album also marks the 40th anniversary of Priest's first release, "Rocka Rolla." Tour dates are expected to be announced soon.

Coming Out Of The (Dollhouse) Closet
So, earlier today when I added the item about Viktor & Rolf making two-foot dolls to wear miniature replicas of their best designs, I played it down. I tried to pretend it was just another fashion item. I even called the dolls "sinister" because I know many people find doll-life as creepy as clown-life. But in my…
