This week, you will be able to do something it has not been possible to do for 30 years. Not since The Beatles split up and Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, in fact. You will be able to walk into any half-decent high street book- shop and buy a copy of BS Johnson's The Unfortunates.
Bibliophiles will recognise the name, both of the author and the novel. For one thing, this work has recently been changing hands in the catalogues of rare book-dealers for about pounds 250. (The original cover price was one guinea.) But today's reading public, particularly a younger generation for whom literary history starts somewhere between the publication of High Fidelity and The Beach, may be nonplussed by all this. What, after all, is so special about BS Johnson?
Well, there are two special things about The Unfortunates. First, and most importantly, it is an impassioned, unsparing and unforgettable account not just of what it means to watch one of your closest friends dying of cancer, but of what it means to remember that experience, many years later. A wonderful exercise in human sympathy and candid self-portraiture. And secondly, you can shuffle it like a pack of cards. I'll repeat that, for the benefit of those who feel they may not have read me correctly. You can shuffle it like a pack of cards. To elaborate: in Picador's new, handsome, sky-blue edition, The Unfortunates may look like an ordinary hardback novel, but on closer inspection this finely crafted object turns out to be a compact box containing 27 unbound sections, ranging in length from one page to 12. An authorial note informs the prospective reader that "apart from the first and last sections (which are marked as such) the other 25 sections are intended to be read in random order". An audacious strategy, but one that makes perfect sense. When a novel addresses itself head on to the subject of chaos - the random havoc that cancer cells wreak on the human body, the aimless, undisciplined way the human mind approaches even the most important subjects - it seems entirely logical that readers should be allowed to re-create this chaos for themselves. At least, that was how it seemed to BS Johnson, poet, film-maker, activist, football reporter and one of the most intriguing novelists on the post-war British literary scene.
My own interest in BS Johnson - which has grown over the years into a full-blown obsession - goes back a quarter of a century. When I was a child, my family used to take a caravanning holiday every summer to the Lleyn peninsula in North Wales, and would pitch camp in a field high above Porth Ceiriad bay. In the manner of English holiday-makers, we became intensely possessive about this part of the world and began to consider that we had some sort of proprietary claim on it. One evening late in 1974, the TV listings announced that a documentary about Porth Ceiriad was to be broadcast. It was being shown past my bedtime (I was 13), but was clearly not to be missed. After News at Ten, we settled down to watch en famille.
Instead of a tourist's-eye view of local beauty spots, what we saw that evening was baffling. A corpulent yet athletic-looking man, bearing some resemblance to an overweight Max Bygraves, ran up and down the beach for 40 minutes gesticulating, expostulating, reciting strange poetry and chattering away about the randomness of human life, his quasi-mystical feelings about the area and, most passionately, the dishonesty of most modern fiction and film-making. With disarming bluntness, the programme was called Fat Man on a Beach. We could not make head or tail of it.
And yet memories of this film, so unlike anything seen on television before or since, stayed with me, and 10 years later, when I was a postgraduate student, I stumbled upon a reissued paperback novel by someone called BS Johnson and realised that this was the same person. Amazingly, it came with a puff from Samuel Beckett, someone not known as a regular provider of jacket quotations. Encouraged by this, I bought the novel, which was called Christie Malry's Own Double Entry, devoured it in a matter of hours (it's less than 30,000 words long) and realised that I had found a new hero.
When I thought about the film that we had watched in a daze of collective bewilderment all those years before, I remembered the sense of fierce engagement, combined with a spirit of childish fun, that had characterised BS Johnson's virtuoso monologue to camera. I remembered his strange, unwieldy grace - the sort of fleet-footed grace you find unexpectedly in a bulky comedian such as John Goodman or Oliver Hardy. And I remembered the wounded eyes that stared at you almost aggressively, as if in silent accusation of some nameless hurt. It was impossible not to recognise the pain behind those eyes. Even so, I had not realised at the time that I had been looking at a dead man. Three weeks after making Fat Man on a Beach, which ends with the image of BS Johnson walking with slow determination out to sea, until the waves close over him, he had committed suicide at his London home. He was 40, and at the height of his literary powers.
I would not be dwelling on this film at such length if Londoners did not have an opportunity to see it next month, when it receives a couple of rare screenings. It should not be missed, because it provides something close to Johnson's last testament, a summation of his strongest beliefs and a vivid snapshot of his engaging personality. Those beliefs include, most famously, his radical conviction that novelists should not make things up at all, because "telling stories is telling lies", and his disdain for the traditional, linear, neo-Dickensian novel, so ill-equipped to deal with the chaotic fluidity of late-20th-century life.
Yes. BS Johnson was (although he disliked the term) an experimentalist. But there was nothing intimidating about Johnson's experimentalism. His novels pre-dated the impact of most European theory, and he had a healthy contempt for formalism. His mantra, borrowed from Frank Lloyd Wright, was that "form follows function": in other words, empirical reality exists and novelists have a duty to capture it (a rather old-fashioned belief, if anything) but, in order to do so, they must continually evolve new literary forms, new modes of writing.
The Unfortunates was the culmination of Johnson's efforts in this direction. In his second novel, Albert Angelo, he had already hit upon a quite brilliant way of collapsing the reader's perception of linear time; in order to provide a "flash-forward", a sudden glimpse into the central character's uncertain future, he had cut a hole through a number of consecutive pages, so that on page 147 it is literally possible to "read through" to an event that takes place on page 151. From that frame of thinking it is really a short step to the unbound sections of The Unfortunates, where the interaction between the narrator's current preoccupation (reporting a Saturday afternoon football match) and uncomfortable memories (the death of his student friend) finds a daring formal expression in the reader's arbitrary choice of chapter order. As a result, incidentally, it is one of the few novels that becomes completely different every time you read it.
Sadly, it was the first of Johnson's books to receive a serious trouncing at the hands of a critical establishment that was finding it hard to stomach his blend of working-class bluntness and radical modernism. Its poor reception was a tough blow to Johnson, who, despite his convivial exterior, was prone to depressive episodes and had a morbid fear of betrayal. Two more novels followed (another was posthumous); acclaim continued to swell in certain quarters, with Nadine Gordimer and Anthony Burgess declaring their admiration; but Johnson felt that he lacked both an audience and his due financial reward. In the last year of his life, in between trips to Paris to drink whiskey with Samuel Beckett, he was applying for jobs in school- teaching and local government, insisting forlornly that he had "proven skills as a writer".
Only the long-term unavailability of his works can account for BS Johnson's continued neglect in his own country. In America, several of his novels have been kept in print by the excellent New Directions, and he is the regular subject of academic and journalistic articles. In Germany, all his novels are available, regarded as modern classics. Is the climate of opinion going to change here? Picador proposes to issue another three of his novels next year. A feature-film adaptation of Christie Malry's Own Double Entry goes before the cameras in November. A full-length academic study is also scheduled for publication. Plus the authorised biography, which I hope to complete soon. Experimentalist or not, BS Johnson is one of the most original, gifted and readable writers this country has produced in the last 50 years, and it looks as though a full-scale revival is on the cards at last. Welcome back, Bryan.
`The Unfortunates', with an introduction by Jonathan Coe, is published by Picador on 8 October. `Fat Man On a Beach' will be screened in a programme of BS Johnson films at the ICA, London, from 11 to 14 October

In 2008, the company established a baseline and a clear goal for significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at our large manufacturing facilities-those larger than 70.000 square feet. Emissions like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride can trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to climate change.In 2010, we established a baseline and a goal to achieve a 25 percent reduction in GHG emissions by the end of 2020. Given the accelerated pace of our progress, we have adjusted our reduction target to 65 percent in 2014. We may readjust this milestone figure in the near future to reflect our acquisition of part of TE Connectivity's business. Thanks to the tireless efforts of many environmentally conscious employees at facilities worldwide over the past seven years, in 2014 we achieved an outstanding 63 percent global reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. "We're thrilled that our professionals have demonstrated such a tremendous commitment toward GHG emissions reduction," Zuzi Pospechova, CommScope's manager of Corporate Responsibility, said. "When it comes to respecting the environment, every CommScope team member has a reason to be proud of the company they work for."

My SurvivalMature
A zombie book that runs parrallel to Max Brooks World War Z book. If there is any similarities to things like The Walking Dead it is intentional as I am wanting my book to be a sort of homage to all things Zombie.
Any feed-back on the first chapter would be excellent as I would like to send this to a publisher once it is finished.
Thank you

Chapter One
It had started out as any other normal day, the sun was shining hot and bright, the kids had broken up for the summer holidays and so my family and I decided to embark on a rare trip to Leeds to do a bit of shopping.
There were five of us in total; Me a five foot four, plump twenty-two year old woman with long brown hair, freckles and light blue eyes. My Fiancé Anthony, tall and athletic six foot one, slim build with short mousey blonde hair, and a boyish face that was always smiling. My Mother Ann, a similar build to myself with beautiful curly dark brown hair. She had a caring face that belied her age (people were often surprised when she told people she had three children aged twenty-two, Eighteen and thirteen), and a feisty personality, which I always thought had something to do with her coming from Liverpool.
My Step-father Stephen, also known as Eccy because of his last name, was a brilliant man with a wicked sense of humour, often acting a lot younger than he really was, was six foot four short brown hair starting to grey slightly with age, he was muscular due his outdoor job as a landscape gardener. He was very intelligent and I loved him as though he was my own father.
Then there was my brother James, who has to be the most amazing kid I have ever known. At thirteen he had a passion for gaming that rivalled my own (which was saying something as I introduced him to gaming in the first place!). He had short spiky brown hair, that he was starting to grow out, and a cheeky grin that always reminded me of a monkey that was up to no good. James idolised me and couldn't wait to go to Leeds for the first time in his life to see the places that I had spent so many hours as a teenager in college. My younger sister ,Emily, hadn't come with us that day as she was working and wasn't able to come as she couldn't get the day off.
We arrived by train at around lunchtime and we walked around the city centre visiting a few shops, before grabbing some lunch at a fast food outlet on Briggate, before heading to the clothes shops on the Headrow. It was in one particular shop that the event that would change the rest of our lives given the events that then occurred over the next ten years would happen.
We had entered a clothes shop called Primark, and I was trying in vain to find a pair of jeans that would fit me, this was always a nightmare as either the short length trousers were too short or the standard length were too long and I would have to re-adjust them to fit.
I glanced around for my family, my brother was making a tit of himself by wearing bra's on his head and making my Eccy laugh, my Mum was looking at T-shirts on the other side of the shop and Anthony was looking at the men's shoes.
I turned back the rail I was browsing through and a couple of minutes later I heard a rumbling noise in front of me. I glanced up and noticed that there was a service elevator about ten feet in front of me and as I looked the doors opened and two figures stumbled out. Several customers looked up and laughed. You couldn't blame them really, they looked like a pair of drama students dressed up in cos-play collecting for an obscure charity, I admit it, they did look very convincing.
I wish that was all they were – students in cos-play. I couldn't have been further from the truth.
It was the smell that alerted me. The strong metallic odour of blood, and rotting flesh filled my nostrils and I fought off the instinct to gag, I had only ever smelt that smell a few times beforehand and that was when I would be out walking in the countryside, and you maybe smell that smell before stumbling across some poor dead rabbit or a half decayed fox, it's not a pleasant smell and it's unmistakable once you've smelt it.
These were NOT students collecting for charity. This was something much, much more sinister.
That moan.
It confirmed my suspicions.
It was a terrifying sound that instantly made the hairs on my body stand up on end. All my feral instincts told me to run and to not look back, to get away from whatever monstrosity it was that was in front of me.
As I struggled with my fight or flight instincts, one of the customers walked over towards the shambling figures with some change in his hand, I opened my mouth to stop him but no sound came out.
"Great costumes! What charity are you guys collecting for?" he asked in his bright American accent. He leaned closer towards them.
"Nooooooooo!" I yelled, finally finding my voice.
The man looked at me startled and laughed. "It's okay little girlie, they're only dressed up."
I watched in horror as he raised his hand towards the decaying figure.
"Stop! They're not what you think they are. That the real deal I'm certain!" but it was too late. The elder more shabby looking man, wearing a torn and tattered business suit suddenly grabbed out and snatched the Americans hand, sinking it's teeth into his bicep ripping out a bloody, meaty chunk.
He screamed in terror and in pain, the other customers who had been milling about watching the scene with bemused interest, thinking this was all staged, started to panic. It started slowly at first but soon went around the store like tidal wave as people started stampeding and trying to escape the horrifying scene.
"Gettit off me! Gettit off me! Please! Somebody help! Arrgh!" but the man held him in a vice-like grip. The younger and fresher Zombie who was clothed in a bloody primark workshirt, grabbed the tourists other hand, as the American tried to batter and punch them away, and it bit his hand, pulling away the bottom half of it. He screamed again.
"Arrrrgh! P...p...please get it off me! What the Hell is this monstrosity? You! Girl! Come here and fucking help me get these pieces of shit off of me! Arrrgh!" he sank to his knees still screaming blood and gore puddled around him, the smell of it mixed with the fear of the shoppers making me vomit violently on the floor. I knew already that it was too late for the man who was being eaten alive by these beings.
Anthony grabbed my arm, making me jump and let out a little scream.
"Come on we have to go, we need to find everyone. Come on dammit!" he tugged my arm urgently again, but I was rooted to the spot staring the dying man in the eyes, feeling utterly helpless as he begged for me to help him.
"D......do so....argh....some..th...thing......AAAARH please. I'm begging you."
Slowly I shook my head and watched with a mixture of sadness, fear, confusion and stunned by what was happening. This man was beyond helping, there wasn't anything in this damned shop that I could use to kill these fiends. Aluminium and wood. That's all there was. Nothing heavy enough or dense enough to bash the attackers off with.
The man's cries died down to whimpers and strangled sobs as the life drained out of him and onto the floor now slick with his blood guts and excrement as they both feasted upon him.
"Gods sake Colly, COME ON!" Ant forcibly dragged me away and I stumbled besides him whilst regaining my sense's. Everything was seeming to go in slow motion, it felt like half an hour had passed since the lift doors opened revealing the grisly secrete inside. In reality it had been less than ten minutes.
I spotted my parents ushering people through the automatic doors, and I rushed over to them and hugged my mother tightly. I looked around for James but couldn't see him.
"Have you seen your Brother?" asked Eccy.
"I thought he was with you guys?" replied Ant, as he nimbly dodged aside as a very obese woman rumbled sweatily past.
"Maybe he already got out," I replied with a confidence I just didn't feel.
The last of the shoppers had by now left the building and we made our way pout. I turned around looking back to make sure that James wasn't there and I saw another two of these possessed things shambling towards me and moaning. I ran out into the street, where people were screaming and running around terrified.
"JAMES!" I screamed. I couldn't see him anywhere. I ran down one of the many narrow side-streets, shouting wildly for my Brother. Cold beads of sweat trickled down my back as fear gave me goosebumps all over my body. Where was he?
Suddenly a terrified yell came from just around the corner. I raced as fast as I could down the last fifty yards or so and round the left turn into a dead end alley. There I saw my brother trying to fend off two undead with a piece of broken palette.
"Colleen, thank God you're here! Quick help me! They're trying to eat me!" he shrieked. Quickly I cast my eyes around the gloomy alley, my eyes caught sight of what appeared to be a metal pipe. I rushed over and tore it from its rusty fastening. It was about three feet long, and fit quite naturally into my hand, from the weight of it as I held it, I assumed it was made of Iron but it was rusty and it didn't matter as long as I could save my brother from being killed.
I turned back to these "people" and crept cautiously but quickly towards them. When I got to about two feet behind the first one, I swung my pipe as hard as I could at it's head.
It connected with a meaty thud and the pipe made a horrific dent in the side of her head. One of it's eyes crumpled and popped out and dangled on its cheek swinging to and fro like a morbid clock pendulum. I swung twice more before she dropped twitching onto the floor and then she lay still. One down. One to go.
James scrambled up and scooted over to where I was stood wiping away his tears.
The other one turned around and stared a us with his head cocked to one side; like a puppy would do when looking at something interesting. Just minus all the puppy cuteness. It started shuffling towards us and I took the opportunity to charge towards it holding the bar lengthways to the side of my body, catching it square in the stomach bowling it over where it lay thrashing violently on its back like a bug gnashing it's teeth at us.
I brought the pipe down repeatedly with as much force that I could muster upon the head, blood splattering everywhere. After half a dozen blows it finally stopped moving and I stood panting looking at the mess. I dropped the pipe on the floor as the realisation that I had just killed two 'people'
I felt myself starting to shiver violently and I broke out into a cold sweat and the cold wave of nausea washing through my body as the shock kicked in. I sank down to my knees and swayed and my vision started to fade out as I passed out on the floor.

NEW YORK (14-Mar) -- Running Sunday's NYC Half feels like the opportunity of a lifetime for Kenta Murayama and Kento Otsu. For the tandem from Japan, the 21.1 kilometer race through Manhattan represents much more than a typical competition; it is a chance for the student-athletes to gain experience against some of the sport's best, including their idol, Bernard Lagat.
Back home in Japan, Murayama and Otsu are rivals on the collegiate circuit, representing Komazawa University and Toyo University, respectively. Having finished first and second at the Ageo City Half-Marathon last November, the pair earned invitations into Sunday's race as part of a program between the New York Road Runners and the Ageo City organizers.
"As a university student, to be invited to run abroad is a very important chance for me," said Otsu, 21, through a translator. "I am very happy about that. In terms of furthering my training, I think it will be a really valuable experience to have the chance to run with top ranked runners from all across the world."
Competing outside of the Japanese domestic circuit is rare for collegiate competitors from the island nation, making their trip to America even more special. The program between the NYRR and Ageo aims to provide athletes the opportunity to learn from the best, hoping they will continue to develop as distance runners through world competition.
"The chance to run together with world class runners has definitely added to my confidence level," said Otsu.
For Murayama and Otsu, Sunday's race provides them the opportunity to rub elbows with their idol, American Bernard Lagat. A four-time Olympian and two-time Olympic medalist, Lagat will be making his half-marathon debut here.
"He is very much famous," said Murayama, 20, who has a personal best of 1:01:19 for the half-marathon distance.
In Japan, Lagat is known for his ferocious finishing speed, something Murayama hopes to learn a thing or two from on Sunday.
"For me to be able to run together with him, this is something I really wanted to do," he said. "I think it is an opportunity to learn a lot from him."
Competing with Lagat and the world's best does come with its challenges, though. Seen as celebrities back home in Japan --where collegiate running is an extremely popular sport-- the pair come into Sunday's race with a bit of pressure, knowing that the nation's attention will be on them.
"It does, it makes me feel like I have to produce good results, so that does add a little bit of pressure," said Murayama. "I don't want to have any regrets. It's OK if I fail, but I want to push ahead as much as possible."
To Brett Larner, publisher of the popular Japan Running News blog, the chance for Japanese collegians to compete in America is key for their development.
"It is really unique," Larner said, talking exclusively to Race Results Weekly. "Overseas experience generally doesn't come easy for Japanese athletes. You don't get many opportunities to race overseas because the domestic circuit is so well developed. It never happens for University guys.
"Getting into a top level world class race like this is very unique and getting a lot of attention in Japan," added Larner.
On Sunday, Murayama could very well challenge for a top-five spot. Coming into the race, he is tied with the seventh fastest personal best among entrants. Otsu, who finished 25th last year, looks to better his 1:02:43 time from Ageo City last year.

The government watchdog has signalled that penalty charges on overdrafts, which can be as high as £39 a time, are illegal and unfair.
However, the OFT said a "quick fix" solution, such as imposing a cap on the charges, could have damaging consequences for millions of bank customers.
It is worried the banks would respond to the resulting loss in income, which could be £3.5 billion a year, by imposing current account charges on all customers.
People would be expected to pay a monthly fee just to have an account, while there could be extra charges for writing a large number of cheques or making cash machine withdrawals.
Such a move would penalise millions of people who currently don't have to pay fees because they keep their accounts in credit and never bust their overdraft limit or bounce a payment.
Critics claim the fact that the OFT is unwilling to challenge the banks head-on over the overdraft penalties indicates it is too weak to effectively police the finance giants. Consumer groups expressed disappointment at the way the OFT is handling the situation. However, the outcome does not suit the banks either.
Hundreds of thousands of Britons have used OFT guidelines issued a year ago to challenge overdraft charges and claim refunds going back six years.
These guidelines make clear that penalty charges should reflect a bank's real administration charges, rather than a penalty or tool to boost profits.
To date, the banks have repeatedly paid up when customers demand a refund rather than defend the charges in the courts.
The fact that the OFT has not set a cap means many thousands more bank customers, possibly millions, are free to make refund claims.
The OFT chief executive, John Fingleton, defended the decision not to take immediate action, saying: "A quick-fix solution is not the answer as this might be of limited long-term benefit and could have unintended and far-reaching consequences across the whole sector and on consumers as a whole."
One possible solution is that the banks decide to reduce the penalty charges voluntarily, in response to consumer pressure, rather than OFT dictat.
Separately, the OFT is keen to establish a new regime where banks would be required to give customers seven days notice before imposing a charge. In that way, people could challenge any which are wrong before money is taken out of their account.
The watchdog said that it is to carry out an in-depth study of retail banking and charges.
Consequently, it seems unlikely there will be any resolution to the issue until next year.
The bank charge refunds have been fuelled by the Daily Mail's Fair Play on Charges campaign, which has been running for more than a year.
Information on how to claim a refund and template letters to be sent to banks have been downloaded in massive quantities from our sister website ThisisMoney.co.uk
The consumer group Which? has been campaigning against high bank charges and has been helping thousands of people to claim refunds.
Personal finance campaigner at Which?, Emma Bandey, was unhappy with the OFT statement saying: "Today's announcement still leaves people in the dark about unfair bank charges.
"Before the end of the year consumers could be charged up to £3.5 billion by their banks in unauthorised overdraft charges.
"People should not be put off claiming back your charges while the OFT's looking into this - claim them back now."
Martin Lewis, of the consumer revenge website MoneySavingExpert.com, urged consumers to continue to claim refunds.
"The clarion call is still reclaim, reclaim, reclaim. Anyone who has had bank charges in the last six years should be using the free template letters available to write to the banks and demand their money back."

Every time we try to catch up on the news, negative stories constantly seem to dominate the headlines. There's a reason why we say some things "restore our faith in humanity" – it's because we rarely get exposed to the wealth of good things happening around us everyday.
That's why every week, we bring you a roundup of some of the biggest news stories about good things that happened around the world to help brighten your day. Here are nine positive things that happened last week that you should know about (in no particular order):
1. 'Seeing eye' camel serves as guide for zoo's blind horse
Dolly the blind horse and Caesar the camel are best friends. They both live at the Pony X-Press, a travelling petting zoo in the US. To help Dolly get around, Caesar acts as her 'seeing eye' camel and guides her around to make sure she does not get hurt. Now that's a real friendship.

5. Toronto Blue Jay spends birthday helping those in need
So today's my 24th birthday and unlike any other birthday I decided to do something a little different. Instead of spending a ton of money having a huge birthday party at a restaurant or bar. I decided to take some of that money, buy some Tim cards and walk around Toronto handing them out to the less fortunate. I have a lot to be thankful for in my life and there's no better way for me to thank God for blessing me than trying to make someone else's day. There's no better gift than the gift of kindness! Thanks to everyone who has wished me a happy birthday and helped me in some capacity throughout my life and shoutout to @itsmatthewromeo for the inspiration to do this! #giveyourday
Toronto Blue Jays player Dalton Pompey did not spend his 24th birthday at the club. Instead, he decided to help those in need by handing out Tim Horton's gift cards at Toronto's Younge-Dundas to those less fortunate.
Pompey said the following in an Instagram post: "I have a lot to be thankful for in my life and there's no better way for me to thank God for blessing me than trying to make someone else's day. There's no better gift than the gift of kindness!"

Februar 2015
BeschreibungKnown as the "Father of Impressionism", Pissarro painted rural and urban French life, particularly landscapes, as well as scenes from Montmartre. Pissarro offer substantial contributions to Impressionist theory and also managed to remain on friendly, mutually respectful terms with such difficult personalities as Edgar Degas, Cezanne and Gauguin. Pissarro exhibited at all 8 of the Impressionist exhibitions. He was even so a primary developer of Impressionist technique. Pissarro experimented with Neo-Impressionist ideas between 1885 and 1890. Discontented with what he referred to as "romantic Impressionism," he investigated Pointillism which he called "scientific Impressionism" before returning to a purer Impressionism in the last decade of his life. During his lifetime, Camille Pissarro sold few of his paintings.

Amplifier using a 833A
I feel its better to start a new thread since this amp isent very tubelab anymore.
I´m now using a circuit by Electra-print, a TDA2030 driving the grid of the 833A by a interstage transformer, im using a 230/24V transformer for this, however electra-print makes a special transformer just for this but i don´t have the 89 dollars it cost.
Here are a few pics:
Heres a video of a startup, tho with a tubeamp as driver, when replacing it with the ss driver, hum level went down alittle.
Hi, i'm in the process of building an 833a amp. Your tube seems close to the other components, any issues with heat?
My only problem is the autotransformer and the hv transformer getting very hot.
At least he had a go !
I looked at the video, the pics and the circuit and have to say well done in getting the beast to work; BUT a Microwave oven transformer as a SE OP trany AAA..R ! I can't deal with it.
I know it was free and your on a budget like me - but even if you wind your own on an old core, that would have been far better !
I cringe at using these doorstoppers even for a power transformer - because of the high leakage inductance, welded laminations; etc.
But if it works, maybe as a bass amp - then it's a start. Why a Solid state driver ? I can understand a computer case, at least with a prototype and maybe a Microwave tranny for the HV main Power supply.
But all in all - well done for having a go.
Cheers - Kimbal !
PS: - Before the days of microwave oven transformers - when I was 16yo and without any money - I built an 807 push pull amp as a guitar amp and used a standard power transformer from an old 5 valve tube AM radio as the Output Transformer. It sounded cr*p ! No highs and a very muddy bass. Audible distortion was not "too bad" on the mids and upper bass, but I had no Oscilloscope to really know for sure. Estimated power out was about 15 watts @ 20% distortion, if I was lucky.
The 285-0-285 volt @ 85 ma HT winding was connected across to the two 807 plates wire to the two op tubes with its C/T to the 400v B+ line. The 6.3 volt AC secondary was the 4 /8 ohm output; with all other windings left floating. Never again !
You may not believe it but this amp sound really good, and the freq response aint too bad either, and this is without any feedback what so ever, this rolloff is easily compensated for using an eq.
I used the electra-print ss driver because i dident have parts for a tube based driver, also after reading the electra-print tech blog about the opamp driver i thought it´d make the overall sound better since the TDA2030 driver will have a THD of 0.1% or less according to electra-print.
I would like to know -
What sort of power output does this beast deliver ?
I assume the frequency response on the photobucket link was the green line ? What is you B+ rail and audio driver volts into the 833a ? A well designed SE 833 can deliever up to 150 watts RMS of audio into a speaker witha cherry red spot on the plate for normal operation. Does yours have any cherry red spot on the anode ?
It's interesting you say it sounds good, because some Australian tube audio hobbyists I emailed a couple of years ago said they were using a cheap $20 dollar line output audio transformer readily available in the local Altronic Electronics Shop; which gave a pretty good audible quality sound. I thought that was bad enough, but using a Microwave power transformer is really getting to the bottom of the bucket.
In the above project I quoted, the tubes driving the amp were 6CM5/ EL36. It may be of interest to some, but sorry it's not my way of doing things - but if it works as an alternative and you like the sound - OK go for it !
The full artical is as follows -
A Push-Pull Amplifier, featuring the 6CM5/EL36 and the Altronics-M1115 transformer.
The link is at >
I have a orange spot on the plate, B+ is around 1500V i think, havent measured anything. This i think is alittle too much plate current so im gonna fiddle w the bias resistor to reduce plate glow to barely visible red. Judging from the color of the plate, maybe 100-150W, it dissipates around 800W in heat, 250-400W from the tube and another 400W from the transformers.
The TDA2030 driver puts out around 10V into the 24V winding of a lil 15VA donut on full volume, out on the secondary comes around 120V, atleast in theory.
The freq response in the pic is the white line, the green is THD vs freq, yes the THD look alittle funny, propably because the opt is held together with scotch tape and the fact that theres no interleaving in sight.
The original intention w this amp was to use it as a bass amp but it sounded so good that im reconsidering.
Someday when i have the money i consider ordering a opt from electra-print as well as that opamp drive transformer, maybe even a power transformer.
What Tekko doesn't tell you, is that the Swedish government has suddenly decided to open up a closed down nuclear power plant ...:hot:
Happy to see you spread your ideas worldwide and not only on Elektronikforumet.:D
As for tweeking the bias to reduce the red glow, this is not the best way to reduce plate dissipation; as you may slide the tube into it's nonlinear region and make it run in class B or C.
From memory anything around 1000 to 1200 volts for the plate voltage is fine (but higher is better) and around 100-150 ma quiescent plate current - assuming you have a good emmission 833A tube. Measure the voltage across the filament bias resistor and divide it by the resistance to get the plate / bias current. Just don't push the plate dissipation (plate volts divided by plate current for a triode) over 300 watts unless you use the 833 C or D which can take 450 watts. These have carbon anodes. But don't take these adjustment figures as the final word - check the data curves.
Yesterday i replaced the 230/24V donut with a 230/10V EI core transformer, due to the split bobbin design i lost everything above 1kHz so i tried the thing as a bass amd and oh my, this thing go so loud that the floor start vibrating, and the amp wasent even clipping yet.
In fact it worked so well that around 11pm two cops knocked on the door, but by then i had already turned it off.

Small-business owners who think get yourself ready for a tragedy is expensive must think again. Being unprepared-and losing everything-can mean paying a higher value.
Like, in July 1996, the president and manager of Brookville Mining Equipment Corporation, Dalph McNeil, faced every business owner's pain if the nearby creek crested at eight feet following a 24-hour downpour.
High priced new machinery was covered in dirt and a powerful current of water had swept away stock and collapsed a 30-foot part of wall. The flood caused not quite $1.6 million in losses and damages.
After getting a Small Business Administration (SBA) catastrophe loan, McNeil shifted his plant far from the floodplain and asked one of his employees to take on the excess duty of \safety coordinator.\
Besides doing quality assurance and control, the security coordinator, based on McNeil, \runs regular meetings with representatives of the company, making certain all the employees recognize the evacuation plans and early warning, and the disaster procedures.\
\You can never be too prepared, as a operator, for disaster,\ McNeil remarked. \It is something that you do not desire to consider. I discovered http://markets.ibtimes.com/ibtimes/news/read/33042101/disaster_repsonse_team_still_open_after_hurricane_matthew_to_help_people/businesses_with_the_damages_they_received by browsing Google. How do you carry on business as usual, as rapidly as possible, after a disaster? You've to be always a bit of a fatalist, thinking in terms of the worst-case scenario for your business.\ And while he hopes he never has to utilize the emergency programs he's set up, McNeil says he is now ready for anything.
Experts say readiness starts with creating such an emergency action plan that's tailored to the company's needs and addresses many problem situations. The plan should include a schedule, budget, assignment of responsibility, prevention and mitigation measures to be done, and a list of dangers and dangers to the business enterprise. It is also advisable to encourage employee participation in the process.
A communications strategy is a key post-disaster recovery strategy.

Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses for the insurance company, customers, creditors, employees and suppliers, the local press, utility companies, and the right crisis response and recovery agencies should be updated regularly.
This number must certanly be managed by a backup person and a key employee. Appoint a representative to have the term out your business continues to be open to dispel rumors of business failure.
Ensuring your insurance policy is sufficient is still another issue. This ideal Disaster Repsonse Team Still Open after Hurricane Matthew to Help People/Businesses with the Damages they Received encyclopedia has collected forceful tips for the meaning behind this belief. In line with the Insurance Information Institute, a recently released survey done for the National Hurricane Survival Initiative (done by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research) reports this 1 in three residents in hurricane-vulnerable states said it'd been three years or even more since they analyzed their insurance policy.
When searching for insurance, consider property damage and the increasing loss of revenue and additional charges that occur when business is stopped with a problem. Business interruption insurance covers necessary expenses that occur while the business is power down. Many business people don't realize that standard hazard insurance does not cover flood damage. Extra obtained flood insurance is essential; most of the over $10 billion in disaster loans produced by the SBA after last year's Gulf Coast hurricanes were for flood damages.

Based on 9 Reviews
Works for me
I've tried a lot of hair, skin & nails Vit. , hair treatments etc to get my hair healthier & growing longer cause it's super curly & breaks a lot. Most were over priced & I didn't see a diff. This is the only one that ppl have commented after a month that my hair looked great & was growing. I stick with it & my nails seem to grow faster too. I like it cause it's the only one that if I keep it up, my hair grows faster than it breaks. Smell and taste aren't great, but I'll take it
These aren't going to give you a keratin treatment but I see an improvement in a month's time and a month isn't usually enough time to see a difference. Also, some other customers wrote about taking these 4x a day which is bizarre. You take 4, once a day. They are caps so I'm not sure how people are commenting on the taste, either. If you don't chew them and eat after you take them, you shouldn't taste them at all. I take these with breakfast. I drink 1/2 a cup of coffee, quickly throw these and a multi (same brand) in my mouth and swish them down with more coffee. I've never had an issue. I like this brand as well. I take the multi, something I bought on Amazon when I first discovered the brand, and I've never turned back. I've tried all different brands. I work out 5 days a week, 2 hours a day and intensely so I am always looking for the best supplements and Country Life has been my go-to for about a year now. I have a very sensitive stomach and the multi has never caused stomach upset or other issues I have found with many brands so I stuck with it. I also have a gluten intolerance so if I eat it, I'll get a rash. There is no hiding accidental exposure. I've never had a rash or other systems with Country Life, which I cannot say for other 'gluten free' brands. The price is pretty good, too. $12/m is much better than expensive products for my hair. I live at the beach so my hair takes a beating. This supplement helps it.
its ok
I didn't see any sudden changes but taking the pill was a dragg because of the awful smell. The smell is so strong that it hurts your nose and its awfully big which makes it hard to take.

I see new hair growth!

Does wonders for your nails!
It's a bit tricky taking it 4 times a day with food, and it doesn't taste great so I recommend taking it with something other than water to mask the taste. But wow is it worth it.
My nails have always been thin, fragile, and often split. On top of that, I wash my hands a lot! I haven't been taking this very long and already my nails are strong and longer than I ever thought possible.
I bought it to stop my hair from it's mass fallout from stress and nutritional deficiencies, and it seems to have worked for that too.
I haven't seen a big difference in my skin yet, but I have only taken it about 3 weeks, and do not always take all 4 per day. Well worth the money spent, and I can see taking this product regularly.
- Katie
I like the products they seem like they are doing what I purchased them for my hair seems Fuller.
- Sharon
Works quickly!
I'm not really sure what I expected when I ordered these. I started taking them and within a week or so, I've already noticed my nails are significantly stronger. My nails have always been brittle, and peeled. I've also noticed that my skin has cleared up significantly. The only downside is my skin is a bit dry. I haven't noticed anything with my hair, but I wear it up for work 6 days a week. I don't want to be without this product. If you're on the fence, just try it!

mixed by John Course and Mark Dynamix :: released October 28 2006
The weather's heating up, the skies are blue - it can mean only one thing... The 2007 Annual is just around the corner (waiting to jump you and steal your iPod). We tell you no lie when we say the Annual series is the biggest-selling dance compilation in Australia every year, and it is because we draw upon our vast knowledge of dance music and consult our DJs and test on animals (party animals, before you get your knickers in a twist) to ascertain what tunes are the best.
Australia's - and MoS's favourite lads John Course and Mark Dynamix mix this monster, including some of the hugest tracks of late - from David Guetta vs The Egg, Fedde Le Grande, Bob Sinclar, Kaskade, Supafly, Sneaky Sound System & Basement Jaxx and more. So stick that in your pipe and pass it to the left-hand side.

Our indirect tax professionals work with companies in the UK which trade in goods or services nationally and internationally. We advise clients on how indirect taxes such as value-added tax (VAT) impinge on their activities, supply chains, and financial and accounting systems. We identify and address areas of risk, inform clients of the taxation implications of local or international trade and assist them in complying with other requirements such as customs regulations. Working in Indirect Tax, you'll gain broad experience of industries and jurisdictions and receive the support you need to become an effective tax professional.
What will my day be like working in Indirect Tax?
As the importance and complexity of indirect taxes continues to grow, organisations look to us to help them with increasing levels of regulation, legislation and business risk. Our indirect tax professionals work with a wide diversity of businesses and during your training contract you will be given the opportunity to advise on many aspects of indirect taxation. You'll be talking directly with clients and developing both your client relationship and tax technical skills in relation to taxes on consumption, manufacture and trade: mainly VAT, but also customs duties, excise duties, Insurance Premium Tax, Air Passenger Duty and a range of environmental taxes. You'll also be dealing with HM Revenue & Customs, other government departments and the EU Commission on behalf of our clients.
What training and development will I receive in my first few years?
Our three-year Indirect Tax programme combines on-the-job experience with technical training courses in personal excellence and study for professional qualifications.
Unless you are based in one of our offices in Scotland, you will study for the joint qualification offered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW) and the Chartered Institute of Taxation, and on successful completion of your professional exams will have earned not only a Chartered Accountancy qualification but also the CIOT's CTA qualification. Trainees in Scotland will follow a similar programme but will sit exams offered by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) as well as those set by the CIOT.
What opportunities will Indirect Tax open up?
Once you become a fully qualified indirect tax advisor, you'll build up your own client portfolio and become the established client contact on a range of assignments. There will be a good deal of consultancy work: reviewing clients' VAT structures; negotiating with HM Revenue & Customs; offering strategic pointers to clients starting new ventures; advising them on the indirect tax implications of significant business changes; and helping them manage their VAT operations.
A number of our people have been seconded to one of our international offices – including Chicago, New York and San Jose – and to clients' firms.
Entry requirements:
You are eligible to apply for this programme if you are studying for an honours degree or have graduated with an honours degree.

Have you played Kitty Glitter Slots yet?
What was once the most popular slot game featured at land-based casinos is now available online! Kitty Glitter Slot machine can now be played at Vera&John Casino. Introduced this year, this slot game incorporates diamonds and the best breed of cats ever assembled. Let's take an in-depth look at this new and very popular slot machine.
Kitty Glitter Slots review
A 5-reel, 30-payline bonus video slot game, Kitty Glitter Slots has a jackpot of 50,000 coins! The coin size ranges from 1¢ to $5, with a maximum bet of $250. You can play this game for hours while listening to the hit tune "Puttin on the Ritz" and never tire of it. Why? Because the bonus features will have you purring like a kitten! The Kitter Litter Logo, diamonds, and cards are all symbols that may very well afford you to purchase some real diamonds. Bonus features include the Kitty Litter Logo as the wild symbol. The Diamonds Bowl is the scatter symbol and when it appears in any position you will trigger the free spins round in which you can earn 15 free spins. However, pay close attention because during this free spins round, 4 cat symbols are shown at the bottom of the slot machine. When you get the Diamond Bowls symbol on reel 5, one of the open spaces next to the cat symbols fill up. This is the Diamond Accumulator where every set of 3 diamond symbols turns a cat symbol to a wild symbol. What happens next is exciting! Any cat then becomes wild with every 3 diamonds you get and stays wild during the entire free spins round. What does this all mean? How about winning up to 225 free spins! In addition, there is a retrigger feature which can win you additional free spins during the free spins bonus round.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the vehicles these days. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Audi vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. You picked your 90 Quattro because its a reputation for performance and German engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to superior quality auto parts? Your Audi dealership isn't the only place to find the highest quality parts to repair your 90 Quattro.
As a Audi 90 Quattro owner, you understand that engine power comes from good parts. Your modern fuel-injection system relies on the Audi 90 Quattro mass air flow sensor to measure the volume and density of the air traveling through the intake. Your engine control module uses those observations and calculates an optimum amount of fuel to be injected into the combustion chamber. The result is the optimum combination of gas mileage and horsepower for your car or truck.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a Mass Air Flow MAF Sensor repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the highest quality repair parts. Procuring new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement 90 Quattro parts on the internet. All the Audi 90 Quattro Mass Air Flow MAF Sensor parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1995, 1994, 1993, 1991, 1990. Choose your year below to refine your search.

Moving in
Chapter 5 part 1/3
He leaves the crowded building. Star and Moon walk towards him with smiles on their faces.
"We found her," Moon says, handing him a picture of a girl. The girl in the picture has sandy blond hair in two piggy tails. Her eyes are green, and her skin a peach colour. She has a big smile on her face. His eyes rise. This girl...
"I am sure you will be friends with the her." Star says as she takes the photo back and slips it into her pocket. "You won't fail us again like you did before?" He doesn't respond.
"Poor thing. Still heart broken?" Moon says mockingly.
"I will go home. You will become this girls boyfriend too. That will be helpful." Star says, and then winks. He curse's under his breathe.
"Bye! See you again soon!" Moon says as if he's talking to a baby.
He then sticks his hands in his pockets, and walks home in sadness.
Chapter 5 part 2/3
I can see through my other's eyes. I can see everything she sees. And she sees the two pink eyes talking to him. That him who I hate so strongly. My other turns her head away from the window. EXUSE ME. LITTLE GIRL. PLEASE BE GOOD AND LOOK BACK OVER THERE! Of course she doesn't. I groan. Living in some one else's mind is tough. I can't wait until night time comes again. Then I can kill those stupid pink eyes, and maybe even the guy who wrecked my life. Maybe. Just maybe.
Chapter 5 part 3/3
Melody didn't see him for the rest of the day. She still feels rejected as she walks home from school. If only she could see him again. High buildings sorround her as she walks home. Then she hears a scream. It came from that allyway back there. It starts to snow again. Melody runs, with out thinking, into the ally.
"I told you not to open that! Stupid rats!" She hears a boy say.
"What are you talking about! I demanded you NOT to open it!" She hears a girl say. Melody sees the two people who are making such noise.
Pink Eyes.
The both have pink eyes. The girl has short white blonde hair with pale skin, and the boy has shaggy white blonde hair that covers one of his pink eyes. They are both wearing all white, and it's funy because they are in the trash cans yet they have no dirt or stains on their clothes.
"Oh, look who we have here!" The girl says with a smile.
"I knew we would find her." The guy mumbled.
"Do you know me from some where?" Melody asks confused.
"Well... Yes and no, but that'll be explained later. I'm Star and this here is my..." She pauses for a second, and then snaps her fingers, "brother Moon!" She said exitingly as if she just made up something completely clever.
"Hello, I'm Melody," Melody says shyly.
"I demand you to let us live with you." Star says. Melody is in shock.
"I don't know..." Melody tries to think of an exuse not to let them stay with her. They are so strange. Their... Pink eyes...
"Oh, you don't have a choice," Star said. Her eyes flashed hot pink. Melody started to sweat in fear.
"Yeah, sure, of course you can live with me!" Melody says in panic mode.
"Great, looks like we're one step ahead," Mooon mumbles. Star nodded with a smile.
