Curved Vs. Flat ESL panels?
I've been in contact with a shop that can make me curved panels cut to size but the same week that I mailed in my order they went on vacation. :(
Then I happened on a youtube clip with Sanders having a monologue about why he\'s building flat panels instead of curved ones.
Now, Sanders being somewhat of a reference when talking about esl\'s makes it kind of interesting.
I know Calvin is building curved panels but most other people seem to go for flat ones?
How would you describe your experiences when comparing curved vs. flat panels?
Myself I\'ve already orderd my curved panels but it would be interesting to hear what you all think.
I have flat panels myself and they sound great but I have to admit that whenever company comes over I find myself wishing for a wider sweet spot.
Unfortunately, there's no way to have it all.... there are only compromises and we must choose which compromises are less objectionable.
I think if you are going with curved panels, you could help mitigate the negative effects of their wider dispersion by placing sound absorbing materials where their first reflections would strike room surfaces-- as you would do with conventional speakers.
Very interesting to see that you agree with Mr Sanders.
I was sort of expecting to hear it was just a sales pitch because flat is easier and cheaper to manufacture?
If indeed his thoughts have merit it's a choice of taste more than any thing else.
There is one thing I would like to adress a little bit extra though.
He claims the flat panel sound outside the sweet spot is on par with regular speakers but the sound in the sweet spot is so amazing that the percieved differece leads you to think the off axis sound is "bad".
Yes,I have to agree with Charlie and Roger Sanders.
My first listen was a set of ML's and when I built my first panel's 9"X22" ,I also found that they seemed to be more detailed than the ML's that I had first heard.
Although I was quite impressed at first listen.
One thing that I did notice is that my smaller width panels seem to have less of the beaming effect than the wider panels did hence a wider sweet spot for the higher frequency's although without the more pronounced lower end that the wider panels had, for obvious reasons.
Once I get going I will do more of a A/B comparison with some measurements between my two original panel sizes,But for now I have alot to get done until then.
It is because of this I tend favor my little panels but we will see once I get the bigger ones rebuilt.
The wider the panel the narrower the dispersion angle as the frequency goes up, Hence the beaming effect.
There have been many many discussions on this and I am very curious to find out the effects of using a segmented stator compared to a non-segmented stator of the same deminsions.
I have three sets of tig wire stators made that would be a good canidit for such an experiment and I could very easily to whip up another set so that I have a pair of each.
Anyway keep the idea's comming I am off to work on those 8' subs at the moment!
Keep on DIYin' !!!! jer
Or you could do something that is sort of best of both worlds & use multiple flat panels arranged in an arc ala Sound Labs or Acoustat. Downside is that you can end up with a very wide speaker & potentially a venetian-blind effect.
Since it's wide dispersion and resulting room reflections that degrade the sound reaching the listener, it follows that placing an acoustic lens in front of a flat panel to widen its dispersion (like Harold Beveridge did) would indeed create a much wider sweet spot... but, again, at the expense of trading off some of the pristine imaging and fidelity you'd otherwise get from a narrow dispersion speaker.
The only way to fully realize what Sanders is saying is to place yourself at the focal sweet spot of a pair of flat panel line-source electrostats and experience their magical 3D imaging, stunning clarity and power. Admittedly, you're head's in a vise listening to flat panel stats but you just can't get that same level of fidelity from any other driver that I've ever heard.
And, again, I'd be wishing for a wider sweet spot when company comes over!
There is another good reason to go with a curved panel except a wider listening field and that is mechanical stability. A curved panel is a lot stiffer than a flat panel and will have much less tendency to resonate. This is the biggest reason why I only built curved panels.
The acoustic lens can make the dispersion, so what you need.
Objection. Not wide dispersion, and that which is necessary, small. The acoustic lens is easily controlled. Аt the beginning meditate area "sweet spot", then just create a lens. Layout can make their cardboard, so as not to spend too much money. Dispersion achieved controlled too. Make small variance. To not use a vise, as in daggerotype photo to listen to the "sweet spot". The last argument by the allusion to the old joke - what more do you want, "the word" taxi "or drive a car?" Decide that you no longer like it - head clamped in a vise or some degree of freedom. All the energy that makes the speaker comes to you in the form of a narrow beam or a few dispersed in space. The lens adjusts the angle of radiation, as in optics. Make a simple experiment with plates made of cardboard, requires no money is spent only your mental energy and time. I think you're in a hurry. The experience that I offer worth the cost of mental energy. He, the experience is worth it.
Sorry for the clumsy English, the computer translates.
It would be interesting to see the lens you have in mind. I haven't seen your lens of course, and I assumed that it would work in a manner similar to the highly curved multi-element lens used by Harold Beveridge. The Beveridge lens creates a very wide dispersion-- much wider even than the dispersion from a Martin Logan curved panel.
To the extent that the lens deflects sound laterally and the speakers are near adjacent walls, there would be resulting reflections bounced off adjacent room walls, which would reach the listener delayed in time; thus confusing the imaging. I see no way around this effect when there is [both] wide dispersion and adjacent room walls to reflect delayed sounds to the listener.
Even so, there are studies that show that only the "early" reflections confuse the brain enough to destroy the spatial imaging perceived by the listener (I forget the exact number but I'm thinking "early" was defined as 2 ms delay or less). If that is so, I think wide dispersion speakers can sound still very good if placed far enough inside the room space (and away from adjacent walls) that "early" reflections would not occur.
I still believe flat panels sound better within their restricted sweet spot but I'm definitely not against curved panels or lenses. In fact, I am seriously considering building a pair of curved ESL's for myself. Then I could listen to my flat panel ESL's when I'm home alone and switch over to the curved panels when company comes over :yes:
(I'm not married so I don't have to worry about spousal approval for so many speakers in the room)

Jets RB Mike Goodson returns, suspended four games by NFL
The Jets announced on Monday that running back Mike Goodson has returned to the team. However, the NFL had its own announcement: Goodson is suspended for the first four games of the season.
Mike Goodson is back. At least for a few days.
The Jets announced on Monday that Goodson has returned to the team, however, Goodson will only be able to practice for two days because the NFL has suspended him for the first four games of the 2013 season for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy.
Goodson is eligible to participate in preseason practices and preseason games, which means Goodson will be able to practice with the Jets until Thursday when New York plays the Eagles in what will be the preseason finale for both teams.
The 26-year-old running back was placed on the reserve/did not report list when the Jets opened training camp in July.
Goodson was arrested and charged with marijuana possession and possession of a handgun in May. This occurred two months after the Jets signed him to a three-year, $6.9 million contract to help replace the loss of Shonn Greene.
"I've been away from the team to take care of some important personal things," Goodson said in a statement. "The time was helpful to me and now that I am back, I am going to do everything I can to contribute to the team. I appreciate all of the support from the Jets organization and I'm thankful to be back with my teammates."
The Jets also released their own statement, "Mike Goodson returned to the team today after taking time away to focus on a personal matter," the statement said. "While we welcome Mike back to the organization, we have had direct conversations to make our expectations very clear as we work together to help him move forward in a positive manner, both on and off the field."
Goodson will be eligible to return to the team on Sept. 30, just in time for the Jets' Oct. 7 Monday night game at Atlanta.

Debbie called me down for dinner, so I trundled down and sat at the table, opposite Alfred. He smiled at me wearily, "Good day?"
"Fine" I said. Debbie came in carrying a steaming shepherd's pie and placed it down in front of us. "I hope you like fish? I'm a vegetarian, Leila was too."
"Fish is fine," I lied. I was a meat-a-holic.
"Brilliant, I'll get the potatoes," she scurried back into the kitchen.
Alfred turned to me, "what A-levels are you taking then?"
"Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Geography."
Alfred nods his head appreciatively "You've got good, solid A levels there. Leila had a good head on her shoulders as well. She did Math, English Literature, History, Music and Art. I tried to convince her not to do the art, but she insisted. Said it was her hobby. I tried to get her interested in Law," he stared mournfully into the fish pie, "she would have been good at that, but she had too kinder a heart."
I saw a tear trickle down his face, so I started at my plate, embarrassed. But Alfred quickly pulled himself together, "Remarkable girl she was. But with you're A levels, you could easily be a doctor. Thinking about it?"
"I dunno," I muttered. I never think about the future. Too much of the present to be dealing with.
Debbie sat down and the table was plunged into silence. We started eating, and all I could hear was a scraping of metal on plates. Was this what it was always like? Or was it just because I was here? All I knew was that I was not going to be the person to break the silence. After what seemed like an hour we had all finished, and I was dismissed.
"Remember to set your alarm clock for tomorrow!" Debbie called out after me.

There is work to do here to integrate the update service into Apache's mirror infrastructure, and the division of labor between what the project can do and what infra needs to do isn't clear at all right now.

Jammu, Aug 13: The captured Pakistani terrorist Mohammed Naved Yakub was today taken to New Delhi from Jammu for further questioning.
Naved was shifted to Joint Interrogation Centre (JIC) in Miran Sahib in Jammu and taken to New Delhi today by NIA team, police sources said here today.
NIA chief Sharad Kumar yesterday flew to Jammu to interrogate LeT's Pakistani militant Naved, who was captured during an attack on a BSF bus last week.
Also read: NIA to ask Pakistan for details on Mohammad Naved
Soon after arriving here at 1130 hours, Kumar reached the Joint Interrogation Centre (JIC) at Miran Sahib on the outskirts of the city where he interrogated the militant, sources said. At 1310 hours, he left for Udhampur district that left two BSF personnel and a terrorist dead. Kumar also visited Udhampur where terror attack took place on Wednesday.
He held meeting of police officers of Udhampur at Sheri Kashmir Police Academy, inspected the bus which was fired upon by the militants and personally spoke with the injured BSF jawans at military hospital in Udhampur yesterday. He also met some people connected with case.
He also reported to have met army officers at Northern Command.
In a reply to reporters' question while he was leaving from JIC at Miran sahib, Kumar said he had come to "ascertain the facts and review the case personally".
Sources in the agency, which had sought Naved's custody for further investigation, had yesterday said that he could be sent to Delhi for further questioning.

Getting Started with your iPad
To configure your iPad, you need an Apple ID. This Apple ID is also used to buy apps and media from the App Store and iTunes Store. You will also need to connect to a wi-fi network to get the internet.
What is an Apple ID
Why do you need an Apple ID?
Essentially, an Apple ID is your passport to the Apple ecosystem of hardware and software. It is an important information that smooths the interaction between you, your hardware, software and services that Apple provides.
The most apparent use, of which you may already be aware, is that an Apple ID is required to download software from the App Store. That's just part of it's importance; an Apple ID is used for many other things such as enabling and using iCloud, buying from the Apple online store, making reservations (Genius Bar and Workshops) at an Apple retail store, accessing the Apple Support website and so on. It's used for lots of things and it's important that you know why and keep your Apple ID up to date.
Your Apple ID is the same thing as your iTunes account. You will need an active email account to set up an Apple ID.
What Services require an Apple ID?
Simply put, the term Cloud is used to describe information that is not stored on your own personal computer but on a remote computer or server connected via the Internet. Having your files, photos, apps, settings, music, bookmarks and more backed up and available over the Internet, wherever you are whenever you need them is very useful. Without having to physically plug in your device and sync it to the computer.
You can back up your data, such as photos and videos in the Camera Roll, app data, home screen, device settings and messages on your iPad, to the online iCloud storage up to 5 GB for free.
Allows you to make video or audio calls from your iPad to a friend or colleague also using a Mac, or to their iOS device. It's, essentially, free video calling in high definition 720p. Use the FaceTime camera on the front for chatting.2 Then switch to the iSight camera on the back to share the view from your end.
iTunes is widely known for bringing easy digital music downloads to the masses over the last decade or so. Anyone purchasing music via iTunes needs an Apple ID to do so.
It's much more than that, though. Apple iTunes allows you to download, rent or purchase films, television programmes, iOS apps, books, podcasts and iTunes U for learning resources from top universities, museums and other cultural institutions from around the world.
iTunes Store
Purchase Music, Movies, TV Shows, AudioBooks.
iBooks Store
Magazines and Newspapers
Send free messages to anyone on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac. Attach a photo or a video. Share locations, links and contacts. Or just send someone an emoticon. You can send to one person at a time or to an entire group at once. It is your Apple ID that is required for using iMessage and this can also form your iMessage contact address by which others can reach you.
How to create an Apple ID on your iPad
Keeping your Apple Account Safe
Two Step Verification
What is two-step verification for Apple ID?
Two-step verification is an optional security feature for your Apple ID. Two-step verification requires you to verify your identity using one of your devices before you can take any of these actions:
- Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account
- Make an iTunes, App Store, or iBooks Store purchase from a new device
- Get Apple ID related support from Apple
Turning on two-step verification reduces the possibility of someone accessing or making unauthorised changes to your account information at My Apple ID or making purchases using your account.
Why should I use two-step verification with my Apple ID?
Your Apple ID is the key to a lot of things you do with Apple, so it's important that only you have the ability to access your account details, update your password, or make other changes to your account. Two-step verification is a feature you can use to keep your Apple ID account as secure as possible.
Download: All about Apple Two-Step Verification
How to setup two Step Verification
In Apple's case, two-step verification means you'll need to use two of three methods to authenticate your account successfully:
- Your Password
- Recovery Key - an alphanumeric code generated during setup that you'll need to store in a physical location
- Trusted Device - a device (an iOS device with Find My iPhone enabled or another SMS-capable phone) that you'll verify during setup that can be sent a single-use, four-digit code when needed
- For example, when logging in to manage your Apple ID, you'll use your password and the code sent to one of your trusted devices (like your iPad or iPhone). When you've lost your password and want to recover it, you'll grab your recovery key and use that alongside a code from a trusted device. Verification replaces the old setup of using security questions and your date of birth but does introduce the recovery key which, if lost when needed, will block any attempt to recover your account.
Recover your Apple Password
There are two ways to manage your Apple account.
At appleid.apple.com you can recover a lost Apple password and manage your Apple account. For example, add or edit your security questions, set up apple Two-Step Verification, change your payment details by adding a credit card for Apple purchases. you can access this site via a browser on your computer or in Safari on the iPad.
You can also access this site from your iPad. Select the Settings App, iTunes & App Store and tap your Apple ID. You can view your Apple ID to edit and manage your account details, select iForgot to reset your password or sign out of your account.

- - Bilge pump question (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/p30/70775-bilge-pump-question.html)
Bilge pump question
My PO removed the manual bilge pump and the associated hoses. I'm interested in putting an automatic one in, maybe with an on/off switch. I see that the bilge water is intended to be pumped into the cockpit back by the scuppers. My bilge water is really not something anyone would want near them, so I really don't want bilge water coming out into the cockpit. I get water from various leaks I'm always running down, as well as some coolant from the FWC system. Also, the icebox empties into it, and it looks like if I were to put the shower head back in it would drain there too.
I'm thinking about putting a thru-hull out the stern, akin to the raw water out from the engine. Curious what the P30 community has done in terms of bilge pumps and where you have it coming out.
Thanks CLucas, I knew I couldn't be the only one who thought this arrangement needed modification.
Curious why no check valve, as it is a long run from the bilge to above the water line on the stern? I assumed you'd want one not too far from the pump.
Very strange, the things some boat owners do.
We use a check valve in our small 500 GPH pump which is our primary. We do not use it as a anti-siphon since that is separate. We find that this lessens the water that feeds back down the hose and into the bilge after the pump completes its cycle.
We do however have a secondary 3700 GPH pump that does not have a check valve.
I have four thru hulls on my transom.
1) The primary/maintenance bilge pump. It is a gray water diaphragm pump which gets me down to 1/8" of water in the bilge. The diaphragm pump is a series of check valves so it does not need an external one.
2) A 250 gph centrifugal pump for those Oh S**T moments. It is wired separately from the smaller pump
3) My manual Whale gusher pump for a backup or added capacity
4) My water HX output for my cold plate
The biggest issue I have is fitting three pumps/strum boxes in my bilge. It's pretty crowded in there, but I am very happy with the arrangement.
Anyway, sounds like it's not uncommon to have a bilge outlet out the stern vice into the cockpit (no surprise there). As a new owner, just trying to get a sense of what is a reasonable idea from you guys' experience. Anyone else add a thru-hull to accomodate a bilge outlet? I'm nervous putting another hole in the boat, even if it is above the water line! Also, I assume this is not a big ticket item?
Thanks for the responses!
if you do the work yourself you can have one installed for a few hundred. This includes the pump, auto switch, plumbing, fittings wiring, and the 3-way (auto-off-on) switch. It should only take an afternoon.

"It can be quite a hassle, making sure that every student gets the tests they need to be taking," said Lindholm, adding there are special TAKS versions that must match students with the correct test. Lindholm has served as a TAKS testing coordinator for the past eight years, and he's seen a lot of changes in the test — and in students' approaches to the process. "My advice to the kids is to just relax," he said. "We put so much pressure on them that a lot of times if they don't do well, they get high strung and keep questioning themselves about it.

COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM Page 1A flood, $700,000; flood-warning sirens, $280,000; replacement of lighting at Fredericksburg Field, $150,000; and a $70,000 cash match for the lengthening of a runway at the municipal airport to accommodate larger aircraft. Funds have been dispensed for some of the projects or portions of projects via reimbursement resolutions, which would be repaid using proceeds from the certificates of obligation. Drainage workshop Council also will hold a workshop on the city's stormwater management program. Discussions are expected on possible revisions to the city's drainage criteria manual and flood-plain ordinance. The workshop is part of a council push to make faster progress on drainage improvements called for by citizens after the June 9 flood. The push is expected to include weekly drainage workshops over the coming month. Other action Council on Monday also will: • Consider a change under which councilors would review and approve the city's drainage criteria manual. Under current procedures, the drainage criteria manual is established and amended by the city engineer and approved by the Planning Commission — and does not go to council for review and approval. • Consider the purchase of one-tenth of an acre of land needed for the North Tributary Flood Control Project. The land would be purchased from Peace Lutheran Church for $12,560. • Receive updates on Fisher Park, the South Walnut Avenue Extension Landscaping Project, and two new fire stations. • Consider applying for $1.2 million in state and federal grants to fund police department purchases, including a mobile command vehicle, a computer-aided police dispatch system and portable police radios. • Consider an agreement under which the City of San Antonio would supply — at no cost to New Braunfels — $5,000 worth of equipment for fighting wildfires. The agreement is being offered because the city's fire department participates in the San Antonio Urban Area's Wild land Regional Response Team. • Hold a public hearing on the city's short-term rental ordinance, which is being revised to incorporate recent changes approved by council banning new short-term rentals in residential areas. • Hold a public hearing on the landowner-requested annexation of 66 acres of land on Hueco Springs Loop Road. The property, located less than a half-mile from Texas Hwy. 46 and owned by Vincent Smith of New Braunfels, carries a future land-use designation of low-density residential. • Hold a public hearing on a request from Susan Mil-burn of New Braunfels to designate a house at 185 Ferguson St. as a local historic landmark. The house, which has a permit for use as a bed and breakfast inn and is known as Miss Milbum's Bed and Breakfast, was built circa 1892. • Hold a public hearing on a request from John and Car-ola Davis of New Braunfels to designate five lots on West Coll Street as Stock Historic District in recognition of Carl Stock, a German colonist who built the home still standing at 195 Coll St. before succumbing to the cholera epidemic in 1847.

Caterer Rae Ah Chee hoped that after 40 years of working with the clatter of pots and plates he would be living at his beach house at Pakiri, listening to birdsong and the sound of waves.
But this week the retired functions supremo of Eden Park and major Auckland events said his dream - described by ARC parks chairman Sandra Coney as an "intrusive trophy house" - still seemed a long way off.
Eighteen months ago Mr Ah Chee, in partnership with Epsom residents Evelyn and William Chong, applied for resource consents from the Rodney District Council to build a house on the southern ridge overlooking Pakiri Beach.
The site for the six-bedroom, two-level home was on 4.8ha that they bought in July 2004.
It was on part of the "Arrigato" block then owned by developers Richard Kroon and Kim Spencer.
The subdivision of the former sheep farm at the beach's southern end has been the subject of court battles and controversy for more than a decade.
Mr Ah Chee and Mr Chong, who is a director of a fruit and vegetable retailing chain, thought that ended in 2001 when the Environment Court gave permission for a 14-lot lifestyle subdivision with extensive bush planting, despite the Auckland Regional Council's opposition.
No houses had been built, so before buying lot 3 Mr Ah Chee said they engaged a consultant to check what the court decision allowed them to do.
"The court determined where we could build, the [home's] height, size and architectural design, so we drew up plans and submitted them to the council ... then the fun started.
"We've been waiting eighteen months for zilch progress."
Mr Ah Chee said the plans were "quite grand" and called for significant excavation for a basement with carpark, a sauna and a wine cellar. But they were advised to avoid objections by withdrawing this plan in favour of one with only an excavation to take a small wine cellar.
However, in December the Auckland Regional Council bought 52ha of neighbouring coastal land from boxer David Tua to make a regional park.
A few weeks later the ARC added to the park, with the purchase of the 126ha of remaining Arrigato land from the developers whose companies were by then in receivership.
"The ARC bought the land surrounding ours and then said they wanted all this land as reserve, which was fine, but the Environment Court had allowed us to build as long as we complied with what it had determined."
"We are baffled as to why we are being withheld resource consent when we comply with that determination."
The plan now goes to a public hearing in July and has drawn 14 submissions, all of them against it.
One objector is Hilary Russell, of the historic Dovedale Homestead across the road from the site.
"The house will be massive, disgusting and will ruin the park," said Mrs Russell, who campaigned hard against the Arrigato subdivision.
Pakiri property owner and barrister Simon Reeves said the original subdivision consent was not relevant now that new owner, the ARC, had publicly declared its intention not to proceed with such consents but instead to create a regional park.
The ARC says the application is inappropriate for the area.
It says the house, at 590sq m, would be "exceedingly large" and in such a highly prominent location that it would dominate the scene from the park and the beach.
The site was within an area marked in planning documents for outstanding landscape quality and sensitivity.
ARC parks chairman Sandra Coney said: "We've spent $20 million of ratepayers' money to give a wonderful remote get-away-from-it-all iconic park and are keen to protect it from this intrusion of a trophy house on the landscape."

Landmark Home
This Hillsborough iconic landmark, seen from highway 280, is going on the market for the first time in 20 years. Designed in 1976 by Bay Area architect William Nicholson, the single family residence boasts multiple domes that were constructed by spraying shotcrete onto steel rebar and mesh frames over inflated aeronautical balloons. San Francisco builder, Wayne Da San Martino, managed the project. Originally painted off-white, this unique organic building was painted orange in 2007 and now sports a purple dome.
Tourists and travelers alike admire and are in awe of this exceptional residence nestled into the hillside overlooking Crystal Springs Reservoir. The reception from Hillsborough residents has been mixed through the years. It is purported that one Hillsborough resident at the time founded an architectural review board specifically to keep out experimental architecture.
In the spirit of the style, the owner enhanced the interior to match her esthetic. She commissioned Emeryville architect, Eugene Tsui, to design her kitchen. Tsui is famous for designing many unusual buildings and structures in the U.S. and Asia. Lighted niches and appliance enclosures, glass countertop encased with a diagonal metal spine, wood cutout swinging doors, drawers and cabinets were custom designed and "biologic." Burning Man artist, Dan Das Mann, fabricated beautiful steel doors that have cut coils protruding from the surface. Oakland artist, John Lewis Glass Studio, created the custom glasswork in the kitchen and guest bath. Tim Weldon paintings grace many of the open curved walls. The owner chose unusually thick stone Jerusalem tiles to cover most of the house.
Da San Martino describes his part in the interior design. "Nicholson designed the basic form, then he pretty much gave us free reign. (We built) a huge conversation pit, with the window cut at a level to hide the freeway, but show the reservoir." The owner enhanced the room with specially made orange colored plaster for the circular seating area that is embellished with a tangerine cushion and pillows. This intimate warm setting is enriched by the height of the dome, fireplace, amoeba shaped window showcasing Crystal Springs Reservoir, and an Italian Catellani and Smith medusa chandelier hanging from the high pitch of the dome.
Social media has an abundance of commentary about the Flintstone House. People comment on paint color changes, desire to see the interior, and curiosity about the owner. This Bay Area treasure is truly a world class work of art. This is an amazing opportunity for buyers who appreciate the architecture and design.
Additional Showings by Appointment with the Listing Agent
In Hillsborough, large estates are the rule rather than the exception. The town is one of the wealthiest in the country and placed No. 5 on Forbes magazine's 2012 list of the wealthiest ZIP codes (94010). Town ordinances ensure its exclusivity by enforcing a minimum house size of 2,500 square feet and a minimum lot size of a half-acre. Hillsborough homes are extravagant, beautiful, and tucked away in the twists and turns of the hills.
There are no apartments, condominiums, or townhouses in Hillsborough; Forbes calculated the median home price at $4,127,250. Notable residents, past and present, include entertainer Bing Crosby; publisher William Randolph Hearst; the king of Tonga, George Tupou V; diet guru Jenny Craig; and former Major League Baseball players J.T. Snow, Ricky Henderson, and Greg Maddux.
There are no commercial districts in Hillsborough. As a wealthy suburb of San Francisco, 17 miles to the north, life in the town is unhurried and quiet. The relaxed aspect is aided by tree-lined streets that don't follow a grid pattern and instead wind around the hilly landscape. There are few traffic signals.
The town covers six square miles and is bounded by Burlingame to the north, San Mateo to the east and south, and Interstate 280 to the west.
Hillsborough's population was 11,144 according to United States Census Bureau data. There were 3,912 homes, of which almost 96 percent were occupied by the owners. The median household income was $222,131.

Fisher House WI Hosts Second Annual Benefit Motorcycle Ride for Families of Wounded Veterans
The Combat Veteran Motorcycle Association (CVMA), 45-1 Wisconsin Chapter sponsors benefit ride
Registration will occur at the Blue Star Memorial Park located at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee from 8:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m, with a brief ceremony honoring military service members from 9:30 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. This police-escorted motorcycle ride will depart the VA grounds at 10:00 a.m. and conclude at the House of Harley-Davidson, where the post-ride benefit party and raffle will be held. The party and raffle are open to the public and not limited to those on the morning benefit ride.
"With more than one third of Harley-Davidson riders being present or former military, it's natural for riders and enthusiasts to support the construction of Fisher House Wisconsin," commented John Schaller, owner of the House of Harley Davidson. "The Fisher House Ride on September 10 will be a visible reminder of the bond between Harley-Davidson and the United States Military, and the House of Harley-Davidson is honored to do our part in this year's ride activities and after-party."
Waylon Gross, State Commander for CVMA, Wisconsin stated, "CVMA is made up of combat veterans and our families. We fully understand the sacrifice made daily by our brothers and sisters who continue to serve in harm's way. Supporting the mission of Fisher House Wisconsin is a natural fit for our organization. Fisher House facilities across the US and in Germany have been there for many of our wounded military and their families since the start of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Giving back to such a great organization is one way we can help to build a Fisher House here in Wisconsin."
Lunch will be prepared and served by Greendale's VFW Post 10519 and American Legion Post 416. Raffle items will also be available, along with live music performed by the Whiskey Belles and Razors Edge. All proceeds will go to support construction of Wisconsin's first Fisher House in Milwaukee. Cost for the benefit ride includes a commemorative patch, lunch and drink tickets. Raffle tickets will be sold during registration and at the after party for various items. Cost for a single motorcycle rider is $40 and $50 with a passenger.
Fisher House Wisconsin works closely with the Fisher House Foundation in Rockville, Maryland, to manage and provide oversight of fundraising for the Wisconsin project. Fisher House Wisconsin is required to raise $3 million of the $6 million needed to build the Milwaukee VA facility. Construction of the Milwaukee-based Fisher House is slated to begin in early 2013. Currently there are 54 Fisher House facilities throughout the United States and in Germany.
About Fisher House Wisconsin
The mission of Fisher House Wisconsin is to help raise funds to build Wisconsin's first Fisher House facility at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center in Milwaukee. A Fisher House is a "home away from home" for military and veterans' families to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for an illness, disease or injury.

In terms of the sanitation of the workplace then there can be no arguing that it ought to be achieved at the earliest opportunity. In case your clients concerns your head office and it doesn't appear beautiful both on the inside and on the surface your customer might question the legitimacy of your company. This particular isn't how the top supervisors are going to do enterprise today and they are suggesting that you simply take a special care of your environment. In the event you aren't sure that you can make your existing office pristine then it's recommended that you lease a location, or lease one, in an additional location.

text: This is the "political season" and political operatives will aggressively try to spin every word and expression to gain maximum mileage for his or her party, and our Prime Minister who loves to use metaphors is perhaps uniquely susceptible to spin. But let not ordinary Barbadians be fooled. Those who genuinely feel insulted by the Prime Minister's comment should ask why their foreparents toiled long and hard in the hot sun in canefields to give them a better education. They will arrive at the conclusion that toiling in canefields was to ensure that the children of canefield workers could work in air-conditioned offices on issues coming out of the Alexandra School controversy. And the Prime Minister is correct. If those with higher education are charged with solving these problems and cannot solve them, then the hard work done by our foreparents in canefields was in vain. The Prime Minister didn't quite put it that way, but all of us know what he meant. But the issue underscores a much deeper problem: to what extent are we – including civil servants – prepared to hold ourselves responsible for resolving issues as opposed to holding politicians responsible? The pendulum has swung so far that we no longer take responsibility for resolving anything but feel content to pass it to elected officials to solve. If they can't solve it, we change them at the next elections. No wonder an increasing percentage of our population believes that no matter which party is in power, nothing gets done. Politicians set policy and leave it to technocrats to execute. When the technocrats fail, we should hold them to account.


text: Planning a trip next May for our kids' graduation; son and daughter are both graduating from HS. On the way home from Disney we want to stop for 3 nts. at Jackson Beach or a beach in that vicinity. We do not need a resort just a basic, clean oceanfront hotel w/ 2 queen beds so we can share the room. I would appreciate any suggestions from locals or someone familar w/ the beaches in that area. Money is an issue after a 7 day trip to Disney so needs to be economical ($100-$125 nt.). Appreciate any input, suggestions, help. THANKS, Jeff

Angel WingsMature
"Always, dear." She said rolling her eyes a little as she got out two pans placing them on the stove. They heated up quickly and she began to ladle out the pancake batter into one pan. She put a few pieces of bacon into the other pan and handed Cariel a spatula. "Here you do the pancakes I'll do the bacon." she said and stuck her tongue out at him.
"What I don't wanna get burned." he said as he flipped over the first pancake, she snorted as the bacon began to sizzle and pop a little. Oil droplets hitting her skin like little pins as she flipped the bacon then added a few more pieces.
"And I do?" She asked raising an eyebrow as she got a plate, covering it with paper towel then put the finished bacon strips onto it. She sighed then finsihed up with her task and got two plates taking them to the table and she began to set up for dinner. Cariel finished not long after and they sat down for a quite meal.
As they finished up Cariel pulled out a small box it was marked with a "K". He smiled at Ryn a little nervously. "I was going to wait to give this to you but… I changed my mind, this is for you." He said softly as he opened the box, inside was a pearl necklace with an angel charm dangling in the center. It sparkled a mix of pearl and diamonds it looked angelic. "Here let me help you put it on baby." He said as he got behind her, she held up her hair as Cariel slipped the necklace around her throat.
"Gosh…It's gorgeous, I don't know what to say. Thank you…" Ryn said as she stroked the gems softly. She got up then kissed Cariel softly their lips molding against each other's.

Final Audit (38 of 41) by Jerry Watts
This content is part of a series.Final Audit (38 of 41)
Series: The Unveiling
Jerry Watts
Revelation 20:1-15
• Years ago I found and bought an envelope which has imprinted as the return address, "Hugs and Kisses from the IRS - Your Final Audit." I sure hope you see the humor in this. A simple 'audit 'is bad enough, but a FINAL audit carries a note of - well- finality.
• In 1799 Napoleon captured his first country and 4 short years later pronounced himself to be the Emperor of France. For year, He took his military machine and seemed to conquer at will.
• In Revelation 20 we see Jesus coming and conquering in this fashion - at will. However, His victories are righteous victories. According to how I read this text, he comes, he conquers, and He sets up His millennial reign.
• NOTE: This is arguably the most debated passage in the Bible. Because the words 'millennial reign' never appears some say there is no such thing. Using that line of thinking, there is no trinity because that word never appears although it is clearly taught. Millennial is simply a designation of time. (I.E. 10 yrs=decade, 100 yrs=century, 1000 yrs=millennium)
• There are 3 basic views of this teaching. 1) Post-Millennial - this teaches that the world will get better and better until it ushers in 1000. This concept was popular around the turn 1900's. After 2 World Wars and other difficulties, this is almost played out. 2) A Millennial - Any time you put 'a' in front of a word, it means 'no', so this view is that this scripture is teaching figuratively and symbolically at this point. It is true that the Bible speaks both symbolically and figuratively at time.
• RULE OF THUMB: When plain sense makes sense seek no other sense! 3) Pre-Millennial - in simple terms, this view is that the world will get worse and worse until it is hopeless and helpless, at that point, Jesus will return and set up His Millennial reign. (BTW - there is a 4th view (tongue in cheek) which claims to be "Pan-Millennial" ...

text: Pretty sure the element has gone. Oven failed, but fan still runs and thermostat light comes on. Checked timer set to manual etc etc. I see I can get new element for £16 on ebay or about £25 from web suppliers. (any advice welcome - the £16 ebay guy says Genuine Creda Part! ). So my question is...is it a reasonable job for a competent DIYer? or should I call in the repair man for a £50 call out fee for starters (living in SouthEast so have to pay through the nose for this sort of repair ). Only other thing that concerns me a bit is that when the oven went off, the RCD tripped (MCB not tripped though) . Would that be expected or does it indicate some rather more sinister problem? (for the record.... if anybody is thinking of buying a new oven - After 25 years of faultless service from a Belling oven we decided to get a more modern one, and this Creda failed after just 3 years... ). Many thanks in advance for any advice offered.
