There is a moment early in "Heaven" when the character played by Cate Blanchett is told something she did not expect to hear. This news piles grief upon unbearable grief, and she cries out in pain. She is a good woman who is prepared to sacrifice her life against evil, but through a great misfortune she has done evil herself.
Blanchett plays Philippa, a teacher of English in Turin, Italy. She has seen drugs kill her husband and some of her students. Her complaints to the police have been ignored. She knows the man behind the Turin drug traffic, and one day she plants a bomb in his office. A cleaning lady removes it with the trash and it explodes in an elevator, killing the cleaner plus a man and his two children. Four innocent dead.
Philippa has lost her husband and her students, and stands ready to lose her freedom. But the death of these four crushes her. We are reminded of "Running on Empty," the 1988 Sidney Lumet film about anti-war radicals in America who did not know there would be someone in the building they chose to blow up. As she sits in police headquarters, undergoing a cross-examination, unaware that one of the men in the room is himself connected to the drug trade, she makes a conquest.
His name is Filippo (Giovanni Ribisi). He is a rookie cop, the son of a veteran officer. When Philippa insists on testifying in her native tongue, Filippo offers to act as her translator. This is after she heard the horrifying news, and passed out, and grasped his hand as she came to, and he fell in love with her.
After the 10 films of "The Decalogue" and the great trilogy "Blue," "White" and "Red," the Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski and his writing partner, Krzysztof Piesiewicz, began writing a new trilogy: "Heaven," "Purgatory" and "Hell." Kieslowski died in 1996 before the project could be filmed. Many good screenplays have died with their authors, but occasionally a director will step forward to rescue a colleague's work, as Steven Spielberg did with Stanley Kubrick's "A.I." and now as Tom Tykwer has done with "Heaven." This is, and isn't, the sort of project Tykwer is identified with. It is more thoughtful, proceeds more deliberately, than the mercurial haste of "Run Lola Run" and "The Princess and the Warrior." At the same time, it has a belief in fateful meetings that occur as a side effect of violence or chance, as both of those films do. And it contains the same sort of defiant romanticism, in which a courageous woman tries to alter her fate by sheer will power.
Philippa and Filippo have almost identical names for a reason, and later when they shave their heads and dress alike, it is because they share a common lifeline. It is not a case of merger so much as of Filippo being assumed into Philippa. She is older, stronger, braver, and he invests the capital of his life in her account. He betrays his uniform to do whatever he can to help her escape.
After she agrees to his brilliant plan, she tells him: "Do you know why I said I agree? I don't want to escape punishment. I want to kill him." Him--the man behind the drugs. Whether she gets her wish is not the point. What she focuses on is her original plan; if she can finally carry it out, she will have made amends, however inadequately, for the innocents who died.
Kieslowski was fascinated by moral paradoxes, by good leading to evil and back again. In "The Decalogue," a child's brilliance at the computer leads to a drowning. A woman wants to know if her husband will die, because if he will not, she will have her lover's baby aborted. A wife breaks it off with her lover--but her husband tarnishes her decision by spying on it. To do good is sometimes to cause evil. We can make plans, but we can't count on the consequences.
The ending of "Heaven" is disappointing. It becomes just what it should not be, the story of an escape. I wonder if Kieslowski and Piesiewicz ended their version this way, in a fable of innocence regained. The tough ending would have had Philippa and Filippo paying for their crimes. It would not have been an unhappy ending for them; they are fully prepared to take the consequences, and that is what's most admirable about them.
Still, many lesser films--almost all commercial films these days, in fact--contrive happy endings. This one is poetic in its sadness, and Blanchett's performance confirms her power once again. She never goes for an effect here, never protects herself, just plays the character straight ahead as a woman forced by grief and rage into a rash action, and then living with the consequences. We require theology to get to the bottom of the story: It is wrong to commit an immoral act in order to bring about a good outcome. No matter how beneficial the result, it is still a sin. This is a good movie that could have been great if it had ended in a form of penance.

Re: The Simpsons
The Mike Skully years (seasons 9-12) were for me the low point of the series, although individual episodes were very good and even then, compared to other contemporary shows, it's still a pretty good animated half-hour or so. Certainly the infamous "Homer gets raped by a panda" episode wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered it, but it was definitely not among the best episodes from that period.
Having seen some of the episodes after that period (when Al Jean became showrunner again) I actually started to like it again - can't really place a finger on it, but it seemed to be from the middle of season 13 onwards. However, it was becoming somewhat gimmicky at times, with heavy reliance on guest stars to lift the episode.
For me, the show really became brilliant from the middle of season 2 onwards - "Bart the Daredevil" for me was the tipping point, the moment the show jumped the gorge. (Funnily enough, that episode featured a character jumping a gorge.
) That season we were also treated to gems like "Lisa's Substitute", and then onto seasons 3 and 4 which were just perfect.
"Lisa's Wedding" from season 6 is still my all-time favourite episode.

Ben Stein's Diary
Defense Is the Ultimate Good
Oh, for Nixon!
I drove over to my apartment to get my mail. It is a funny thing about the apartments I have for offices at the Shoreham Towers in West Hollywood. I bought them first to have a quiet place to write that came with a good view, and then to get rid of a noisy neighbor. It never even occurred to me that they might be a good investment.
Yet they have done better than any other real estate investment I have ever made. Now, bear in mind, the sums involved are barely pennies by Manhattan or Brooklyn chic apartment prices. Just nothing. But the point is that luck has a lot to do with it. Or maybe it's because the Shoreham Towers is one of only two real high-rises in West Hollywood, and young, well-to-do people like views.
Anyway, I went over there to see if I had any interesting mail. As I did, I ran into Miss X, a beautiful woman whom I have seen coming and going at the Shoreham Towers recently. She has almost glowing blonde hair and a lovely smile. She was having car trouble when last I saw her, but today she was thinking of something else.
She had a musical instrument case. I soon learned that it had a valuable violin in it. I asked her if she could play the violin. "Oh, yes," she said. "Classically trained. The woman who trained my trainer used to perform Wagner for Hitler."
"High praise indeed," I agreed. She nodded affably.
"Do you sing also?" I asked.
"Yes," she said with a killer smile.
"I'll pay you if you'll just come up to my apartment and play the violin and sing as I open my mail," said I.
"Okay," she said. "I'll be right up."
In about a half hour, she appeared in a black cocktail dress and very high heels with her instrument case, a music stand, and a sheaf of music. "I'll play Mozart," she said as she unlimbered her music stand and her instrument.
And, sure enough, within moments, she was playing "A Little Night Music." She was a bit rusty at first but then she played beautifully. She looked like a radiant angel and I thought, "How fascinating. Just out of the blue there is this woman with glowing blonde hair playing Mozart among my mountains of brokerage statements and insurance bills. I am just sitting here in my filing madness and I am overwhelmed with this woman's beguiling music and it will cost me virtually nothing but enough to make a big difference to her. What must Buffett be able to buy?"
She played another short musical piece which I forget, and then she sat on my ancient couch while I retrieved e-mail and she sang, "New York, New York." She even had small arm gestures to go along with her singing.
I was thoroughly charmed but I had work to do and I had to get my car washed so I paid her a modest sum (but excellent on an hourly basis). She agreed to come back and play for me any time I wanted and she walked out with her electrically charged blonde hair.
How many others are there like her? Her goal is to be a successful writer of TV shows, movies, and Broadway plays. A tall order but she is a capable woman. She wants Emmys, a Tony, and an Oscar. Well, that's why they come to Hollywood. This one actually has some talent, though, which makes her unusual.
We drove down to the desert and had a moonlight swim last night and now it's Thanksgiving. Our club had its usual over-the-top feast. There really was so much food there it was almost nauseating. But we ate it with pleasure anyway.
I kept thinking about the millions of Americans in the military and how they are facing Thanksgiving. Some are still far from home in Afghanistan, subject to enemy cruelty at a moment's notice or no notice at all. Their families must be worried sick. Then there are the ones in Djibouti and Korea and Yemen, all at risk at any time. Then there are their families and their friends, all worried, all the time.
Can you even believe it? The Pentagon is proposing serious cuts to their housing allowances and medical care, all in the name of keeping taxes low on rich people. This is slashingly offensive. Our military men and women offer up their lives. Their pay and benefits should be sacrosanct. How can we save a few thousand dollars to add to the wealth of the rich by harming the military men and women and their families? It bewilders me.
It bewilders me how we can even for a moment consider letting the rich pay the lowest rate of tax in the Western world and take even a penny out of the military.
"Defense is the ultimate good." I just made that up and it's true.
Meanwhile, the world is falling apart—tensions in the South China Sea, the total disintegration of the Middle East, U.S. connivance in making Iran a major power, Russia turning back to imperialism and subjugating Ukraine.
This is the reward of Obama's utterly feckless foreign policy, of thinking that we can just withdraw into isolationism and military weakness without the usual costs and terrors that causes. I weep for this country having an amateur such as Mr. Obama at the helm. Oh, for Nixon!

text: Yep and about a month later somebody (and I hope it was the same person) stole an electric shaver from the same car. You plugged it into the cigarette lighter socket. No big deal there because (a) I won it in a poker game and (b) the way it worked was that it didn't cut your whiskers as much as it just jerked them out by the roots. But you could not go to sleep at the wheel while using it. Fortunately for me I had stopped locking my car so that I wouldn't have to keep replacing windows.

Whether it's submitting a group proposal to clients, learning from each other's ideas and experiences or participating in a volunteer day with colleagues, the backbone of everything we do at PwC is based on teamwork and collaboration.
This is how we create a high performance culture, where everyone challenges and supports each other to be the best we can be and to play our individual parts in our firm's collective success.
In FY14, we continued to help our people grow and develop through our enhanced working practices (a form of team based learning), inclusion initiatives, and strong coaching environment. We also continued to embrace and foster work/ life flexibility options.
Over this period, we also encouraged the development of a responsibility mindset by engaging our people in conversations related to both our environmental and marketplace initiatives. By giving our people the right tools, we believe they will come to better understand the impact of their actions on others, the interconnectedness of our society and the value of inclusive thinking.
During FY14, we were especially proud to be named one of Canada's Top Diversity Employers for the second year running, as well as one of Canada's Top Employers for Young People for another successive year.
Fostering accessible client service
We remain fully compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disability Act (2005) and have strengthened our commitment to accessible services by continuing to post accessibility information on pwc.com, including temporary disruption notices, and providing training for all Ontario staff on accessible client services. In FY14, we also developed a new e-Learn to support the creation of a barrier-free and inclusive workplace across Canada. The e-Learn is embedded in our onboarding and annual employee training processes. We will continue this work in FY15 and report on the successes of the e-Learn during our next reporting period.
Nurturing workplace health and wellness
In FY14, PwC participated in the Global Corporate Challenge (GCC), a worldwide wellness competition bringing people together from over 1,000 organizations across 100 different countries to promote health, well-being and teamwork. Participants wear a GCC Pulse (i.e. a pedometer-type device with enhanced accuracy) to track and record their daily step totals, either by uploading online or automatically using their Smartphones. Over 370 of our people participated in in FY14, resulting in PwC Canada being selected as one of the winning global teams.
In FY14, we expanded our Coach Connect Program across all our lines of service. Coach Connect focuses on helping our people understand and be better able to coach to our business priorities, while improving the impact of their coaching. The program does this by offering strategy updates, tools and skill development sessions to all of our coaches. As a result of Coach Connect, we saw an increase in positive responses to key Global People Survey questions, including "I understand how my objectives relate to my business unit's strategy." In FY15, our external coaching strategy continued to be well received – with over 200 partners receiving external coaching to further their personal and professional growth and development goals. In FY14 we also increased the number of formal partner development programs that were supported by specialized external coaching, which further enhanced the transfer of knowledge from the classroom to our day-to-day work environment.
In FY15 coaching will continue to be a significant priority for the firm. All lines of service will continue to use our Coach Connect program to facilitate individual development and drive our business strategy. Based on priorities identified by our people, we will focus our efforts on developing the ability of our coaches to coach virtually and to coach multigenerational employees. We will also provide tools and techniques so that coaches can provide coaching on sales success in addition to career coaching. We will also continue to monitor the impact of our external coaching strategy, so that we can enhance our support for the program as appropriate.
Encouraging global mobility
In FY14, we continued our efforts to provide international assignment opportunities for our people in a wide range of locations across the globe. As a part of our Global Mobility program, we look to match our high performing talent with opportunities that allow them to connect with people, build new skills and broaden their perspective on the global business environment. Through a variety of short-term and long-term secondments, we help develop our key talent while at the same time, meeting resourcing and project needs across countries. In FY14, 220 members of our Canadian workforce participated in a Global Mobility secondment.
Promoting Enhanced Working Practices (EWP) and experiential learning
Our EWP program empowers our people to learn within the context of their day-to-day work. Incorporating structured learning routines into our working practices (e.g. job shadowing), provides us with opportunities to accelerate employee development on the job in a supportive environment. Also, EWP leads to increased accountability and a feeling of project ownership among team members while deepening trust and confidence across the team. In FY13 we worked to expand EWP across our firm, while in FY14 we accomplished our goal of establishing EWP across all of our lines of service. EWP practices are now embedded into our formal learning programs, expanding learning into our everyday activities and work.
During FY14, we actively branded EWP as our approach to on-the-job coaching. We've also embedded EWP into other key people processes, such as recruitment, on-boarding and performance management. In FY15, we'll continue to focus on EWP as a way to accelerate the development of our people so that they are able to deliver distinctive client and people experiences.
A key priority for the firm is to ensure that the rewards and recognition offered to our people are meaningful and timely. Through monetary and non-monetary rewards, we formally recognize those people who deliver great results while living our firm's values of excellence, teamwork and leadership. Our aim is to thank people, value their contributions and celebrate success, whether for day-to-day efforts or major contributions.
Delivering recognition and rewards
Fully launched in July 2009, Marquee is the banner name for our new rewards and recognition programs. The goal of Marquee is to thank people, value their contributions and celebrate success. The three components of our Marquee program formally recognize those who deliver great results while demonstrating and reinforcing the behaviours that our firm values.
We realize that our success as a firm in the marketplace depends on the success of our people. For this reason, our approach to corporate responsibility means that we will continue to invest in the development and well-being of our people, and support them both professionally and personally.
With respect to our people programs, we achieved many successes in FY14. We were able to expand our programs by listening closely to feedback from our people and continued to focus on a number of key areas we consider very important. These included:
Fostering work/life flexibility:
During FY14, we increased monitoring of workloads and examined our resource levels and staffing models to identify options to better address peak period needs. We also asked partners and senior staff to support and help manage workloads and day-to-day informal flexibility; ensure flexibility is discussed in team meetings, coaching discussions and is included in our people's goals; promote and support participation in our myLife flexibility programs which were created to help our people manage their personal and professional lives; and encourage the sharing of success stories our people have with respect to developing innovative flexibility solutions.
During FY14, we also hosted a myLife flexibility contest, which will now be an annual event, to celebrate what flexibility means to our people by asking them to share their personal or team flexibility stories. The top three winners of this contest received points through our Marquee Recognition Program.
Providing appreciation, recognition and rewards: We continue to focus on promoting a thank you culture that encourages our people to build positive relationships with each other. In FY14, we expanded our efforts to show more appreciation and recognition through the introduction of a national Appreciation Week—an idea formulated and implemented by our National Staff Council—whereby local offices were encouraged to find unique ways to say thank you. This resulted in a significant increase in the number of people recognizing others and receiving recognition.
Engaging with our people around our vision and strategy:
During FY14, we expanded efforts to help our people understand how our firm's strategy relates to them personally, and to provide coaching on how to better align individual goals with our broader strategy so everyone can see how they individually make a difference and bring value to our firm every day. We have increased awareness of our strategy through various channels, including: screen savers, strategy placemats, leadership video messages, online group discussions, WebEx strategy sessions, and training for our coaches through Coach Connect to help them engage their coachee(s) around strategy alignment.

Immigrants given free legal help to start own business
Connect Legal, a not-for-profit corporate legal clinic in Toronto, connects immigrant entrepreneurs with commercial lawyers for free legal help.

Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
Sanjay Pandrala, a horticulturist from India, hesitated to start his pest control and landscaping business because he didn't know enough about Canadian commercial law.
Should he incorporate his firm? What is his liability if there is an industrial accident? What needs to be included in an employment contract?
While the lack of legal knowledge is a challenge, Pandrala said many small businesses simply can't afford a corporate lawyer.
"You don't want to learn about Canadian law the hard way, after a mistake is made," said Pandrala, who came here in 2007 with a horticulture degree. "It is extremely important that we are aware of all these potential legal issues before we start our business."
With help from Connect Legal, a not-for-profit corporate legal clinic in Toronto, Pandrala was matched with a pro-bono lawyer, who helped him draft his client contracts and employment agreements.
Today, Pandrala is the proud owner of The Bug Man Inc. — which had modest sales of $80,000 last year — and a finalist in Connect Legal's inaugural Promising Immigrant Entrepreneur Award.
Marion Annau, founder of Connect Legal, said the award is to celebrate the spirit of immigrant entrepreneurs.
"There is an economic shift underway. Self-employment and small businesses are becoming more important to the economy. Many immigrants are getting into self-employment as a way to get ahead," said Annau, a former Bay St. lawyer.
"But they are not familiar with Canada's legal system. The better understanding they have, the fewer problems they will have."
Since its inception in 2010, Connect Legal, working with other community groups, has delivered workshops to more than 700 aspiring immigrant entrepreneurs.
Through its one-on-one lawyer-matching program, it has connected 32 pro-bono clients with its pool of 80 lawyers from six of Canada's top law firms, including Blake, Cassels & Graydon, and McCarthy Tétrault.
Annau said the lawyers volunteer for less than 50 hours of work per client (jobs count toward the law firms' billable hour target), offering advice from contract design and reviews to permit and licensing, business structuring, branding and trademarks.
Carolina Velez, owner of Colombia Exotic, an importer of exotic fruits and natural products, said the legal help she got from the clinic was invaluable.
"I did study business and law in university, but it's Colombian law," said Velez, another award finalist, who started her company last year, which imports one ton of yellow pitahaya (dragon fruit) a week to sell at Loblaws.
"The lawyer explained to me about my liability, how to protect my interests in the worst scenarios and let me see all the blind spots. There are just a lot of (legal) landmines in business."
Other immigrant entrepreneur award finalists include: Vibhor Chhabra of Grand Travel Planners Ltd., Igor Chigrin of Win Global Partners and Hardik Kumar Dave of Uniglobe Consulting Inc. The winner will be announced Wednesday.

So today, we see a Christie more comfortable in the company of Barack Obama than in front of a crowd of grassroots conservative activists. For example, rather than recognize the shifting political landscape against unchecked government surveillance of U.S. citizens, Christie attacked Sen. Rand Paul with a vehemence more pronounced than Harry Reid would use – actually calling Paul's mainstream concern about such policies "dangerous." Christie's embrace of the Surveillance State may be the final straw after a long string of conservative disappointments from the Guv, including his uncomfortably and continuing cozy relationship with Obama following Storm Sandy.
Christie now finds himself in the middle of a Second Amendment battle, where both gun control advocates and gun owners are closely watching his next move. Three bills sitting on his desk would have a significant and negative impact on Second Amendment rights in the Garden State. Considering Christie's track record over the last year, conservatives have good reason to worry.
There is little doubt Christie is trying to lay a path to the White House in 2016 -- branding himself as a reformer not afraid to walk across the aisle to get things done. Cooperation, of course, can be a productive trait in a political arena paralyzed by partisanship. Ronald Reagan, the Great Communicator, had a knack for bringing together coalitions to win key legislative victories for conservatives. However, Reagan always remained firmly rooted in conservative principles, which gave him unassailable credibility with the conservative base.
With a pedigree resembling that of Richard Nixon, Christie is no Ronald Reagan.
What the GOP needs in 2016 is a leader who can be trusted to reverse the dangerous fiscal, social and national security policies of the Obama Administration. Christie has not exhibited any indication he is willing to do this; in fact, just the opposite.
There should be no room in the GOP for Christie's nebulous, if not disingenuous, political games; and, it is time conservatives show him the door before his carefully self-nurtured image as the GOP "tough guy" -- able to take on all Democratic comers -- destroys any remaining semblance of the conservative GOP base first constructed by Reagan two generations ago. If Christie really wants to take on Hillary, let him do so in the arena far better suited for liberals and moderates like him – the Democrat Party.

My Nonprofit Reviews
NFP Nurse Supv
Review for Nurse-Family Partnership, Denver, CO, USA
I came upon NFP 3 several years ago as master's prepared nurse with many years of experience in women's health. I was hired as a supervisor in a site that was establishing this wonderful program. Coming in to this program in the infancy stages, I have helped establish this program in our community. It brings such joy and sense of accomplishment to see the growth of these young women that we serve, as well as the positive feed back receive from the community. To witness the growth of our clients is very rewarding. Many clients verbalize that they wouldn't have had the successes if it weren't for their nurses. To see these young moms celebrate their own small successes and develop into warm ,nurturing parents is truly rewarding. The committment they demonstrate to the program and to their nurses is inspiring. I am very proud and honored to be a pat of NFP and the lives of the mothers we have served and hopefully continue to serve in the future.

75 comments:
Hello Sir,ReplyDelete
Thanks for a nice project. Please explain how to
connect battery more clearly.
Welcome Rashid,Delete
Battery should be connected to the shown points.
For simplicity sake a low voltage cut off has not been included, so should be monitored using a suitable voltmeter.
Thank you Sir,ReplyDelete
I just over looked the diagram.
Take care.
hello sir.. can you give me link of any porject which explains solar inverter using solar tracking system??ReplyDeleteReplies
Hello Udit,Delete
A solar tracker system is discussed here:
And a solar inverter is given here, you can easily combine the two:

Hello Sir,ReplyDelete
I am Marios and I have to say that your posts are really useful. I am experimenting with solar Cells and I find your information particularly useful.
What I am wondering is what circuit designer have you used? I tried to simulate the circuit with LTspice but there is no relay component. I need to use the simulator because I am using a different solar panel and I need to consider other components' specifications and drag out safe working results and conditions.
My solar panel has the following specifications:
Power Rating: 1.2W
Power Voltage Max: 7.5V
Current at P Max: 150mA
Open Circuit Voltage: 10.3V
Short Circuit Current: 160mA
DC Power: 1.2W
Nom Voltage: 6V
Output Current Max: 0.15A
Output Voltage Max: 8.4V
Do you have any suggestions for which of the rest components need to change and what their value has to be?
Also what is the purpose of the LDR? Isn't relay switch based entirely on the voltage reaching from the solar panel?
I appreciate your help very much Sir!
Ps. I don't want to transform the voltage to 230 V, I just want to convert it to a smooth ACReplies
Hello Marios,Delete
I do not depend on simulation softwares, I do it in my mind more efficiently.
If you are planning to operate the above described circuit with your specified solar panel then I am afraid it will not work.
Even if you are using the inverter without any load, it would require 12Volts for operating.
Without the LDR the relay may remain switched on at voltages lower than 10V from the panel which won't operate the inverter properly, therefore the LDR is kept so that the relay can be forced to switch OFF below 12volts from panel. This operation will switch the inverter operation from panel to battery without interrupting the output AC to the conected loads.
Hello again Sir!Delete
What if I use two of these solar panels connected in series? Will that solve the problem and I can use the existing components with no change at all?
Yes it might solve the problem....as the voltage will then become around 15VDelete
No change in the components would be required.Delete
Ok Sir, thank you very much, I really appreciate your help!Delete

Hello Sir,ReplyDelete
I am looking at your circuit and I am wondering what is the component that is connected in parallel with C1 and D3. Is that an inductor?
And if yes what is it its purpose in the circuit and what should be its value?
Thanks in advance! Merry Christmas by the way :)Replies
Merry Christmas to you!
It's not an inductor it's the relay coil.

Hello Swagatam,ReplyDelete
I am looking at your diagram and I am looking at the wire connection that comes down from the relay to the middle of the transformer on the primary side (LHS). Is this a tap transformer? And if I don't want to use a tap transformer (because I cannot understand why, I am new to electronics:) where shall I connect this wire?
Is it ok to connect it on the top side of the transformer? Will it still work fine?
I really appreciate your help!Replies
The transformer is a center tap transformer, it has three wires 12V-0-12V.Delete
The center wire is connected with the relay contact.
- AnonymousFebruary 5, 2013 at 5:40 PM
Yes, but can I use a normal transformer with two wires as an input and two wires as the output?Delete
Actually what I want to do, is to use the AC waveform just as it is, in 12V without transforming it. That's why I need to find a place for the wire from the relay :) Can you tell me where shall I connect the wire from the relay in the case I don't want to use either a tap transformer or a transformer? Thanks Sir!
A three wire transformer is also a normal transformer.Delete
Most inverters and also the above will work with three wire transformer only....by the way what is your requirement? do you want a 12V oscillator circuit or an inverter?
The voltage from the the panel is DC and not an AC.
- AnonymousFebruary 5, 2013 at 9:57 PM
I would like just to get the AC Power at the output as 12V AC, I don't want to step it up to 240 V.Delete
Besides that, I cannot find to buy a transformer with 3 wires in the primary side. I can only find step down transformers, from 240 V to 12-0-12 V which are not useful I think.
Can you suggest me anything else to help me?
OK. it means you need only the oscillator part, you can try the following configuration:Delete

Hey Sir, I am George,ReplyDelete
I like the staff that you publish and I find them really useful!
I bought all the electronic components to built this circuit and I have a question.
According to the relay diagram in page 3 (terminal arrangement, bottom right side) of the datasheet here http://datasheet.seekic.com/PdfFile/G5S/G5SB_G5SB14DC12_G5SB14DC24VDC_G5SB1.pdf
I cannot realize which pin correspond to the N/C pin on your diagram. I assume that the coil has no polarity.
Can you please help me find it out? Is it pin no.3 or no.4 that corresponds to the N/C pin on your relay circuit?Replies
4 = N/CDelete
2 = pole
1 and 5 = coil

Hello Swagatam,ReplyDelete
My name is Tom. Thank you for posting this. My question is:
Does this circuit gives a constant smooth output of 240 V or the output will vary? Does the variation in solar cell Voltage (due to sun intensity) affects the output, or the circuit with the transistor fixes this problem?Replies
Hi Tom,Delete
This circuit is quite a crude one, so surely it will not produce accurate 220V at the output....the output will be dependent on the supply voltage from the panel, and will vary according to the sun light intensities.
Hello again sir. So if I add a 12V voltage regulator before the transformation part, will the voltage be smooth and of constant value?ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't think a voltage regulator would be required for such a basic design, it would be rather better to use a panel with voltage specs around 12V to 18V max, this would roughly produce 200v to 260V from the inverter, which should be manageable.Delete
- AnonymousApril 22, 2013 at 5:41 PM
Hello again Sir. I really appreciate all your stuff you publish and all the hard work you do. And I really thank you for that!Delete
I had tried to built this circuit but it doesn't work for me. It appears to have 2 problems..
1. It doesn't realise the solar panel input when there is light. I tried to vary the potentiometer but nothing happens. It stays triggered on the battery to supply the circuit with power.
2. The inverter part doesn't work at all. Though there is a 12V supply from the battery, I can get no signal at the ends of the transformer. Can you help me fixing these two problems?
Thanks in advance sir!
you will have to make and check the stages separately, then join them together.Delete
first check the inverter separately, with a 12V 7 ah battery.
Next check the LDR circuit, the relay will only operate if the LDR resistance is at least 25% less than the P1 value in the presence of light.
the inverter is a tested design and will start working immediately if everything's done correctly.
- AnonymousApril 23, 2013 at 9:14 PM
Ok, thank you! I will check them again.Delete
I will go through the inverter part. But can you give me any values of the voltage that I should get at the tree terminals of the transformer, before the scaling up? those at the Right hand side of the transformer as it is on the diagram. Because my transformer might be the problem.
The voltages at the tap is not important actually.Delete
The working condition will be indicated with a low buzzing sound inside the transformer and 220V at the output terminals.
The transformer should be kind of bulky, weighing at least 3 to 5 kgs.
- AnonymousApril 29, 2013 at 2:54 AM
Hello again sir, as you said the inverter works fine! but the problem that I have with the changeover is still there. LDR doesn't seem to interact at all. I have change 3 different LDRs, with 3 different resistance ranges to light response, but there is no response from the relay itself. I can only manually adjust the relay changeover through the potentiometer. do you have any idea what may go wrong?Delete
Hello, check the resistance value of the LDR at ambient light, it should be at least 25% to 50% less than the set resistance of the preset P1, and this should allow a base votage of 0.6V to develop at the base of the transistor, only then the relay will operate.Delete
Once activated the relay will deactivate only when it's sufficiently dark.
- AnonymousApril 30, 2013 at 3:11 AM
Hello Sir, thanks for the advice, I will check them tomorrow.Delete
Also I have two issues with the AC wave output of the transformer.
With the battery feeding the inverter:
When there is no load I get 510 volts peak-to-peak (255 V from axis to peak) but as soon as a load is connected the voltage drops to 400 V peak-to-peak. Is this normal?
Also when there is no load the frequency is 37 Hz but when I connect the load it drops to 32 Hz? Shouldn't it be around 50 Hz in both cases?
p.s. I get pretty much the same results when I connect a power supply to test it instead of the battery.
Thanks once again Sir!
The load rating should be 30% less than the transformer wattage rating, otherwise the voltage will drop below the normal level proportionately.Delete
Frequency may be altered by adjusting one of the collector resistances of the inverter, try slightly reducing it or increasing it.
hi sir good day. i have a solar panel and here is the description:ReplyDelete
Rated Max Power: 10 Watts
Voltage at Power Max: 17.5 Volts
Current at Power Max: 0.57 Amps
Short Circuit Current: 0.63 Amps
my question is can i use this solar panel in this project?
thank youReplies
Hi edalcor,Delete
yes it can be used but only for charging the battery, it cannot be used for driving the inverter simultaneously.
hi sir i have a question again. how long does it takes if i'm using a car battery rated (1SM MOTOLITE maybe you can help me how to identify the A/H rating because here in the Philippines if you buy a battery it will labeled 1SM,2SM,3SM,6SM,2D,AND 4D and please can you provide me the formula for computing how long will it last if i'm using 10 watts CFL before it will drain my battery? and,can this solar panel:Rated Max Power: 10 WattsDelete
Voltage at Power Max: 17.5 Volts
Current at Power Max: 0.57 Amps
Short Circuit Current: 0.63 Amps will be charged my battery for how long? thank you again sir for your kindly entertaining my questioned and i appreciate your reply.
Hi edalcor,Delete
In India the lead acid batteries are clearly given with AH ratings so I am not sure about your batteries, you can consult an auto electrician in your area regarding it.
There's no specific formula for knowing the discharge rate because it depends on many factor which may be different for different batteries, like efficiency, age, condition etc.
You can connect a voltmeter to monitor the level, when the voltage drops to 11.5V, then you can remove the connection and check the time how long it took to reach this level.
ok sir thank you.ReplyDelete
ok sir thank you.ReplyDelete
Hello Swagatam,ReplyDelete

Hello Good sir,ReplyDelete
I'm an engineering student in the U.S. and i'm doing a final year research project on anything of my choice. I'm interested in anything solar so I came upon your design. I found a cheap solar panel online with the following specs:
Dimensions (H x W x D) in mm: 284 x 350 x 17
Weight in Kg: 1.38
Cell Type: Poly
Number of cells: 18 pcs
Power max. (Pmax): 10 W
Voltage max. 9.01 V
Current max. (Imp): 1.11 A
Open circuit voltage: 11.25 V
Short circuit current: 1.36 A
Module efficiency: 15.05%
Maximum System Voltage: 600 V
Do you think this would be a good fit for your circuit?
Thanks in advance for your time.Replies
Hello Francois, I don't think a 9V battery would work with the shown inverter design...you'll need a 12V battery and a minimum 18V solar panel for implementing the project with optimal results....Delete

the shown inverter will require at least a 10AH battery to produce a meaningful output, and a 10AH battery will require at least a 2amp charging current for getting charged within 5 hours (day time optimal range)Delete
so a minimum input of 2 x 12 = 24 wats will be required...your panel should be rated at around 18V, 36 watts, for getting proper results from the shown system.
Related power 40WReplyDelete
Open circuit voltage (Voc) 22.41V
Max power voltage (Vpm) 17.9V
Short circuit current (Isc) 2.48A
Max power current (Ipm) 2.23A
Output Tolerance ±3%
Temperature range -40℃to +80℃
I think this will do??Replies
yes this will be OK.Delete
Also what i understand from the article is that if I build the circuit (correctly), I should be able to power whatever device that uses a 12v battery, while at the same time at the other end of the circuit, recharge any 12v battery...is my understanding correct?ReplyDeleteReplies
yes it is possible, but then that will demand a proportionately higher watt panel in order to allow an external load operation as well as the battery to be charged simultaneously from panel powerDelete
you can power anything which is 12V rated but the total wattage must not exceed above 50% of the solar panel wattage.
if you have a panel that's able to produce much higher voltage than the required load voltage in that case you can opt for a buck converter circuit.....otherwise it would be better to use a panel with lower voltage and higher current....for example a 15V 7amp panel etc
Once I build the circuit, and connect everything, I'd like to test it on a small simple battery. Can you recommend anything? I looked up the 10AH batteries but they look too big and are for electric bicycles and whatnot.ReplyDeleteReplies
don't build the entire thing together...first build and confirm the inverter stage separately...if it works as per the expectation then you can move ahead with the remaining integration.Delete
the inverter design can be learned below in greater details:

I have 2 Clinton Anderson tack items I'm planning on selling. Both are brand new- never been on a horse. They are also authentic Clinton Anderson items- not a cheapie knock off brand.
Foundation Headstall- retails online for $84.99 it is horse sized but very adjustable. It is chocolate in color and has honest to goodness never seen a horse. I'd like to get $60 for it. Only selling it because I already have a Clinton Anderson headstall and thought I'd keep this one for a spare, but I've never used it, so might as well sell it!
Mecate reins- retails for $84.99 on the website. They are new with the tags still attached. They're the 22 foot one piece reins. I'm only selling them because I have 2 sets of mecate reins already. No need for a 3rd. I'm asking $65.

1894-03-09 (94lbs) Jack Maloney w co 12 (20) Joe Bennett, St Andrew's Hall, Westminster, London, England
1894-03-09 (94lbs) Jack Maloney w co 12 (20) Joe Bennett, St Andrew's Hall, Westminster, London, England. Referee: Robert Watson. Billed for the English and world 94lb titles with a ringside weigh-in, both lads made off at a fair pace and for several rounds it was thought that first one then the other would win. Boxing stubbornly, Bennett dropped Westminster's Maloney in the eighth and in the ninth he battered the latter all over before relaxing. The next two rounds saw more of the same, with Bennett hammering Maloney but being unable to finish the job. Having worked at such a breathtaking pace the now exhausted Bennett was an easy target for a revitalised Maloney in the 12th,and after being put down in a corner he got up only to be met by lefts and rights before being dropped again, this time to be counted out.
Maloney soon moved on and the title was next claimed by Ted Beach (who outpointed Charley Gledhill over six rounds to win a championship competition at the St Andrew's Hall on 21 April). Beach was followed by Gledhill (July) and Wal Renan, Harry Munro and Bill Langford (October) before going on to win two more 94lb championship competitions at the Central Hall, Holborn, London during the year, both of four rounds duration, outpointing Con Barrett (20 October) and Jabez White (15 December).

I've kissed my share of frogs now its about time my prince charming arrives. Im here to find my missing half the one I know exists.
About me: Im a single mom of 2 sons ages 10 & 19. I have pets and love all animals. I like to watch the wildlife outside including the butterflies in my garden. My life is simple and I am content & happy this way. I'm much more content cooking at home for you and cuddling up to watch a movie than I am going out. I've been told Im a betty crocker with a wild side. I am content and happy being home, being mom cleaning, cooking and all but I have been known to get a little wild on the right occasion.
note: I'm not ms perfect,I am flawed. I'm not ms fun right now Im more fun when emotionally involved-plus I do have morals and a conscience.
I am hoping to find my mr right. Reality is, Ill find a couple of friends but I can hope for my missing true love, I know he is out there!
So..if you think you are that last frog....pucker up!
I am honest. If you ask if your butts to big in those pants I'll be honest in a gentle way. Like honey, go try those black pants on so I can see if they look better with that shirt. I try not to hurt peoples feelings.
I am VERY affectionate. I like to cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. Sitting under the stars, wrapped up cuddled in a blanket staring off into the night sky talking about nothing and everything is perfect evening to me. When you are watching tv I like to walk by and kiss you as a way to let you know I care.

I like all the designs on the second page. The expressions are a little over the top though.
Love that lavender.
Some of the pieces are gorgeous and still somehow are overshadowed by the exaggerated (a bit unnecessary) gestures… still beautiful designs and photography
why she's making these faces? horrible face expression, but nice clothes

Field Test: Mercury M72s Studio Microphone AmplifierDUAL-CHANNEL TUBE, RETRO TAKE ON A CLASSIC DESIGN 2/01/2006 7:00 AM Eastern
Mercury Recording Equipment's M72s is a faithful re-creation of the Telefunken/Siemens Kassettenverstarker V72 tube mic/line amplifier. All of the amplifiers in the V Series were fixed-gain units, and the V72s was a rare, modified version specified for the EMI REDD 37 recording desk used by The Beatles and others at Abbey Road Studios during the 1950s and '60s. The original V72, V72s, V76 and other variants continue to be sought after for conversion into wonderful stand-alone studio mic and line amplifiers.
The M72s, a 2-channel, two-rackspace mic preamp with an internal AC power supply, comes in an all-steel cabinet in the original Tele beige color, with a thick, militaristic-looking front panel. It uses custom-made transformers for the input and output paths, and another as a choke in the amplifier. Two EF86s — without hold-downs, but in ceramic, gold-pin sockets — are used for each channel. The handmade and roadworthy construction comprises first-class components firmly mounted throughout and welded chassis corners for extra rigidity.
The front panel is adorned with
Input impedance to the rear panel XLR is 2k-ohms or 4k-ohms when the -28dB pad is used. The unit's output impedance is 30 to 50 ohms, depending on gain, and the recommended source impedance is 200 ohms or 500 ohms minimum. Maximum output level is +22 dBu, with a frequency response of 20 to 20k Hz, ±0.5 dB.
There are phantom power on/off and phase-flip (polarity) switches, along with a mic/DI switch that selects either the rear panel XLR mic input or a ¼-inch front panel DI jack. The JFET DI circuit has a 2-megohm input impedance. It is said to mimic Class-A tube circuit topology and provide high RF immunity. This impedance converter drives the input transformer so that you get the full benefit of the preamp's sound. Most DIs on preamps bypass the first amplifier stage or input transformer — or both. Finally, orange-colored recessed indicators show when the channels are ready for operation and change to red when phantom power is engaged.
My first test was with a female vocalist singing up close to an AKG C 414 TL II with no pad, no roll-off, in cardioid pattern and 37 dB of gain on the M72s. This is by far the thickest, warmest and fattest mic sound I've heard — even compared to other tube mic preamps. My singer has a husky, dark voice, so perhaps this wasn't the perfect mic/preamp combo for her, but the sound was still amazing: present, quiet and extremely clear.
I swapped out the 414 for an AKG C 24 tube stereo mic (top capsule in cardioid and 40dB gain) and backed my singer off about a foot. I found that I could plug the M72s' output directly into a dbx 160SL compressor without an equalizer and get a close and present sound, as well as the "air" around her voice and some of the room's tone.
I next recorded a flute (34dB gain) with a Soundelux E47C condenser mic placed 1.5 feet above the player and got a great sound without any equalization. I also did not add any EQ later on during the mix. A tube mic and tube mic preamp are just the ticket for a fat and natural flute sound!
I tried the DI input for bass guitar and noticed much more level and a percussive edge as compared to a Whirlwind IMP 2 transformer direct box. The DI input set to 28 dB was louder than the Whirlwind plugged into the XLR mic input with 37 dB of gain. Using the DI and advancing the gain upward (and backing the following compressor down) started to overload the M72s in the smoothest way. I liked that I could set the exact amount of breakup to taste — turn it way up and get the fuzz sound, just like on The Beatles' "Think for Yourself" from Rubber Soul.
With a huge sound, an excellent built-in DI and line-level capability, the Mercury M72s is a remarkably versatile recording tool. I love the vintage tube sound in a modern unit that's free of vintage problems such as noise, scratchy pots and variable performance. Getting great sounds on all of the sources I tried was never easier!
Prices: $3,500 (2-channel), $1,900 (single-channel).

The God Gap
Republicans and Democrats talk about the religious gulf between the parties.
7:20 PM, Sep 1, 2004 • By TERRY EASTLAND
New York
First, that it would be good for those who do the surveys on religion and voting behavior to conduct one after November 2 that would tell us how religious "traditionalists" and "progressives" voted. Past surveys, as the panelists here noted, have regarded the electorate in terms of church affiliation and undertaken to discern the relationship between church attendance and votes cast. The general point emerging from those surveys is that the more often someone goes to church, the more likely it is that the person votes Republican. A problem with the surveys is that they don't tell us enough about the voting behavior of those within a particular religious group. Take mainline Protestants, for example. While they belong to denominations that are, in their governing boards and seminaries, theologically liberal, many hold theologically conservative beliefs. Some would accept the label evangelical. (The best example: the United Methodist George W. Bush.) The theologically conservative mainliners differ from their liberal brethren by taking a high view of the Bible. I'd call them traditionalists, over against the "progressives" in the mainline churches, who, dominating their leadership, see the Scripture not quite as sola. I'd like to know how those traditionalists vote this fall, just as I'd like to know how traditionalists within the Catholic church (defined as those who take seriously the church's teachings) cast their ballots.If we knew these things, we might have a better idea of how actual religious beliefs correlate with voting preferences--of whether, to borrow from the event's title, there is a "Red God" and a "Blue God."
Second, that religious progressivism doesn't have much prospect, at least not in terns of influencing the election. Cromartie, citing familiar data, pointed out that there's a substantial bloc in the electorate that you can fairly describe as "secular," and it votes overwhelmingly Democratic. Kerry appeals to them, for sure. But as Podesta conceded, Kerry comes from a tradition where "my beliefs are mine alone" and he doesn't show them in public (remember what he said at the Boston convention: that he doesn't wear his faith "on his sleeve.") Podesta noted the "moral fire" of religious progressives back in the Sixties and early Seventies and how it blew into the Democratic Party. But he said the party had lost that fire. Even if it were to be recovered--you really think John Kerry could bring it back, in nine weeks?--the party would still face a numbers problem, since theological liberals are not a growing, but a shrinking, bunch. There aren't many votes in them thar hills.
Third, that the most serious charge you can lay against the Bush campaign is that it disrespects the church. Casey and Podesta complained about the campaign's effort to get Bush supporters in Pennsylvania who go to conservative churches to send back to Washington church directories that would then be mined for names and addresses of people who are presumptively likely to vote for Bush, assuming they are registered to vote and got out to vote on Election Day, things the campaign would be delighted to help you with, starting now. Casey objected on grounds that the church ought to be left to be the church, and that a campaign shouldn't be encouraging members of a church to see it as an instrument of partisan politics. Richard Land, the Southern Baptist and one of Bush's most ardent supporters, has made the same objection. Of course, more than a few Democratic politicians have taken an instrumental view of black churches. And you could say that in these endeavors both parties are acting politically, which is what you'd expect them to do. Still, a due respect for churches qua churches would counsel against such efforts. It would be interesting to know what Bush knows about the church-directory project, and also what his view of the church is.

Glyco-Flex Soft Chews
Glyco-Flex Soft Chews 158 159
Luxating Patella surgery My 8 yr old long hair Chijuajua had to have double Luxating Patella--knee surgery. I started her on Glyco-Flex 1 week before. She had better BM at once. She is bright and sailed through the surgery well. I feel Glyco-Flex played a big part. 06/14/2011
Older Babies I have 2 older dogs that aren't as agile as they use to be. This product really does help and they love it as treats. I give them one each in the morning and evening. 02/27/2015
It Worked My dog, Max, was beginning to suffer from joint pain, so much so that I had to take him to the emergency room over Christmas. My mom told me about these and sent me a package & I followed the directions and in about a month Max was feeling better. In two months he was running around again with a big "lab smile" like I hadn't seen him do in a long time. (He wasn't crippled before, he just took his time, but the night I took him to the emergency room he was in a lot of pain.) I now continue to give them to both of my Labs - 9 & 10 years old & they are both benefiting greatly. My other lab, Leo, was groaning all of the time. I especially noticed it at night when we slept. He doesn't groan anymore! I've run out a couple of times and I can always tell in both of my boys. I highly recommend this product (& to follow the suggested guidlines). 04/08/2014
Glyco-Flex III is a miracle I have three dogs and all my dogs are on the Glyco-Flex III every day. One of my babies had been hospitalized for bulging discs in his back and the Glyco-Flex III keeps his pain and inflammation under control. I ran out of Glyco-Flex III for just a few days and my poodle just limped around the house; I now buy Glyco-Flex III before I buy groceries. 04/05/2014
Love this product My Molly is a big dog, 60 lbs plus. Her joints were hurting her when she was starting to get up from a nap or just relaxing. She would whine when she walked. When I started her on Glyco-Flex Soft Chews, it didn't take long before she was walking without pain. I could tell right away. She hasn't been off them. Give them to her regularly. 03/19/2014

What is the difference between the Glycoflex 3 tablet and chews? The price difference of $80 verses $54 seems alot for the same product.
Answer:Thank you for your question. The supplements are the same as well as the ingredients. The differences are one is a soft chew and the other is a tablet.
Answer:Thank you for your question. Yes, this is manufactured and pacakged in the United States.
Answer:I'm not sure. My Vet recommended only this for my babies.
Answer:Thank you for your question. It is suggested you only use one supplement.
I have two 3.5 pound chihuahuas. I would like to give them the Glyco-Flex III chews as a preventative measure, but even breaking the tablets in half, I'm wondering if that will still be too much for them.
And after the maintenance period of 4 - 6 weeks has ended, will it harm them to give the supplement every day instead of every other day? Their other supplements are a daily dose, and it would just be easier to have everything on the same schedule.
Answer:I did not give our dogs a preventative because our vet never suggested it, We started using Glyco III after one dog started having a hip issue. We currently do not give the other dog any meds.
I notice there is no Chondroitin in the GlycoFlex 111. I thought Chondroitin should be given along with the Glucosamine.

Re: STATS Dont Matter To Me No More!!!!!noob2 Dec 5, 2012 7:47 PM (in response to ELPINCHELOCO)
Lol, yeah thats funny because I suck and I just had a game where I went 50-8. I couldn't beleive it, i was like these guys must really suck bad if I just smash them. haha
Re: STATS Dont Matter To Me No More!!!!!jlj90 Dec 5, 2012 8:39 PM (in response to ELPINCHELOCO)
I agree. I'm starting to accept that this Call of Duty will be my worst one statistically. As for W/L ratio, I always seem to get placed in a game that is already over whether it's Domination or Kill Confirmed. The score will be outrageous and I'm always on the losing team. I normally hover around a 1.33 K/D but with this one I down to like a .96. So many issues are sucking the fun out of this game this year. First, the spawn system is horrible this year (IMO). The other day I was playing took one step and died from a Bouncing Betty. I re-spawned in front of the guy and he killed me again because he was spawn trapping. Then you have snipers that stand in front of the opposite teams spawn area just to snipe everyone down before they have a chance to move. Second, The AR's are weak compared to everyone running around with Shotguns and SMG's. They make it pointless to have other guns because they always get the kill no matter if you shoot them first. Finally, the knife is useless this year and you can barely get a kill with it. Then on top of all that the game keeps freezing my PS3 so I'm scared to play it right now LOL.
Re: STATS Dont Matter To Me No More!!!!!Izjar11 Dec 5, 2012 8:43 PM (in response to ELPINCHELOCO)
I know its not their fault this happens, but darn it, the stats on this game are not real!!!!!!!!
I agree any stats available are all suspect, and of almost total circumstances.
Re: STATS Dont Matter To Me No More!!!!!Killerdriz Dec 5, 2012 8:52 PM (in response to ELPINCHELOCO)
I gave up trying to get good stats some games I smash and others I just get mutiliated never realised how much lag makes a difference till this game but I enjoy playing it so stats mean nothing anyway
Re: STATS Dont Matter To Me No More!!!!!Alias612 Dec 5, 2012 10:50 PM (in response to ELPINCHELOCO)
Play hard every match, try and get stats up not to compare to others but to make yourself a better player.
Once ppl start over thinking, worrying about kdr or winning every game.
It stops being fun.
I'm currently adapting to this myself.
Re: STATS Dont Matter To Me No More!!!!!danielalan Dec 5, 2012 11:31 PM (in response to ELPINCHELOCO)

Best backpacker bars on Ko Pha Ngan
What we say:
If you're like many backpackers on Ko Pha Ngan, you came to the island to experience one or more of its parties. But parties from the Full Moon, to Jungle Experience, to Black Moon, don't get started until around 23:00 — what's a traveller to do in the transition period between dinner and the party? Why, head to a bar that caters specifically to those looking to get the party started a bit early. Here are a few of Ko Pha Ngan's best backpacker bars… you may have so much fun at one of these joints you'll forget to make it to the party.
Amsterdam Bar
Backpackers flock to Amsterdam Bar in Ao Plaay Laem for its great, lively atmosphere, tasty food and magnificent view. Chill out on its funky wooden deck and enjoy a frosty beer or colourful cocktail while looking out upon a panorama that includes Ko Samui, Ang Thong National Park and Ko Tao. The sunsets can be truly spectacular. There are no backpacker specials here — the main draws are the view, the atmosphere, and of course, the bar's name …
If you're heading to the Full Moon Party, start your night at Fubar, about a minute's walk from the party beach itself, Haad Rin Nok. Pad your stomach with one of their freshly-baked pizzas, mingle with fellow party-starters, and await the deep rhythms of house music soon to begin pumping from the bar's speakers. What's more, if you elect to stay in their guesthouse, they give generous discounts at the bar.
Ringside Guest House is always packed with young partiers looking to socialise and have some fun. It's conveniently located in Ban Tai, sandwiched between the Thong Sala pier (where you arrive on the island by boat), the road to the jungle parties (Half Moon, Jungle Experience, and Sramanora Waterfall Party), and Haad Rin (the Full Moon Beach), making it an ideal place to start the night, especially if you're not entirely sure which party will be graced with your presence. The bar puts on a host of drinking games, including crowd favourite, beer pong. Among other extras you can expect are free glow paint, movie nights, sports night, daily happy hour and free boat tours during the non-Full Moon period. The owners are opening up a new club here in 2014.
Located on the beautiful west coast of the island, Shiralea Backpacker's Resort is a backpacker haven. Part of the reason for its haven status is that it throws some pretty wild parties at its bar. Whether you're staying here or not, head to the restaurant/bar, and you'll be sure to meet some new friends. The food is fantastic, and the bartenders encourage a lively night, while also passing out party tips. This is a can't-miss backpacker hotspot.
Tiki Bar
The self-proclaimed "life and soul of paradise", The Beach Village in Thong Sala is a fantastic place to head for a warm-up before the party. Tiki Bar is located near the resort's expansive outdoor pool, allowing for some wet and wild fun. Not only that, but they host a three-hour happy hour, from 17:00 to 20:00, drinking games, beer pong tournaments and DJs from all genres. Best of all? The bar is right on the beach.
