The Maton name is a derivative of the words "May" and "Tone".Until the mid 1930s an Australian guitar manufacturing industry was virtually nonexistent. Good quality guitars were hard to find and at this time the best guitars came from the U.S.A. Bill May, a Melbourne-born jazz musician, woodwork teacher and luthier decided to change all that.During the early 1940s Bill established a custom guitar manufacturing and repair business known as "Maton Stringed Instruments and Repairs". This enterprise was so successful that Bill was able to convince his older brother, Reg, to join him as a full time guitar maker and in March 1946 the "Maton Musical Instruments Company" was born.Maton is still a 100% family owned Australian company, now operated by Linda & Neville Kitchen (Bill May'sdaughter and son in law).

Bathroom Reno Challenges
5 Attachment(s)
Hello folks,
So I just tore out the bathroom (except the tub) couldn't loosen the drain but I got the wrench so that's tomorrows project. Anyway... after tearing out the drywall, and the linoleum w/ 1/4 " sub I found a considerable amount of water damage. It does seem to be relatively isolated but it has damages to corner stud and two sole plates. I am wondering about replacing them and the sub floor.
I don't know if they are load bearing (but I think they are) and was wondering how big of a job it is to do on my own/how much would is cost to have someone do it? I've done some research and it seems pretty straight forward but I'm finding there is always some catch to everything. This is by far the biggest hurdle of this reno, plumbing, electrical and everything else seems A-OK. Anyway hopefully these pictures help.

I included the outside wall/corner so you can have an idea of what going on. It's a little crowded inside the bathroom. Part of me wishes I never found it but I'm glad I did before something bad happens.
Kind of similar to a reno I did a few years ago except that the rotted wood was not part of a load bearing wall.
First, you have got to get rid of as much rotted wood as you can. It's rotten and will continue to be a weak point in the structure even if you completely stop the leaks and dry it out.
If you are sure it is load bearing you will need to get a couple of jacks to release the load so you can replace the rotten stuff. Not a problem for DIY except that a pro would have all the tools and experience to do it quickly whereas you might have to take a couple of days and extra trips to Home Depot to get it done.
Just rip out the rotten stuff and piece in good wood. Lots of measuring and cutting that's all.
Hopefully you can rent the jacks but if not, just sell them on eBay or donate them to Habit for Humanity when you are done.
How do you use the jack?
So we bought the place knowing their was potential water damage but I didn't think it would be this bad. We did get a reduce price on the house due to it however when we purchased the home the owners said they hadn't used the shower in years due to the leak and we haven't used in since we bought it last April (2012) and have be using the other shower downstairs. The wood is completely dry and so I think the spread of rot has be slowed/stopped.
I was wondering how I would use the jack/jacks to support the wall? How would one hook that up?
First you need to confirm where the load bearing parts are. Kind of difficult to explain in a forum post but you can start by finding where all the joists are (floor and ceiling). You say this is upstairs. Is there nothing but attic space above? You will need to look into the attic to see if anything like roof trusses or anything else heavy is supported by this wall.
Are the floor joists supported directly below this partition wall? If you are far from a support from below, then it is unlikely it is supporting a lot of weight.
If you do need to support while replacing rotted wood, you will want to have a couple of screw jacks set up as close as possible to the area you are going to work on. Put 2x6 on the floor and push another 2x6 up along the ceiling joists (perpendicular to joists of course). You just need to tighten the jacks a bit. Don't raise the ceiling more than 1/8 inch. I would also rip out the rotted subfloor first. You need to get it out of there before you jack things up an you need to know how much rot has got to the floor joists. Hopefully not much.
Pull the bad wood and replace. Leaving out lots of details but you get the idea.
Ok turns out non are load bearing and it all worked out...so far.

The Royals were also condemned to relegation following an uneventful 0-0 draw at the Madejski Stadium, meaning both sides will now play in the npower Championship next year.
"There are problems within the club," conceded Redknapp. "It is not easy to change when people have got contracts - I've heard over the years that players will want to leave because you have been relegated but where are they going to go?"
He added: "If they had played better perhaps we wouldn't have gone down, one or two will be wanted by good clubs.
"There are an awful lot here that have good contracts and it would be hard to get rid of them even if I wanted to shift them. You can't shift people on two or three-year contracts for good money.
"It has not been an easy club to manage, but if it had been easy I wouldn't have got the job. They offered me the job because that is the situation they were in, otherwise I wouldn't have got the job, (former boss) Mark (Hughes) would have still been sitting here now. I'm only concerned about the owners of the football cub. QPR are not a super power going into the championship."
Reading manager Nigel Adkins came into the club in March after Brian McDermott was relieved of his duties.
The Royals have picked up two points from his opening five games and Adkins, who brought Southampton up from the Championship last year, is now targeting a similar success with Reading.
"The fact of the matter is we're down," he said. "We needed to win and we haven't, what we have to do now is get ourselves ready for the Championship.
"We know where we are going to be for next season now. We have players who have experienced the Championship, but like all clubs there will certainly be players coming and going."

SONY HOME THEATRE KIT HTK170 whats your opinion?

thinking of buying this any good?
thank you for all comments
15-10-2001, 12:47
O man - nothing worse than posting & getting no one arsed to reply ... I have a M8 who has this Sony HTK and it sounds decent enough - I even recommended it to my sister when she was after a "minimalist" system for her lounge (the speakers are tiny - about the size of half a brick) If you have never heard an AV setup you would think the HTK170 was great - If you have heard a decent system of seperates (like I have) you would notice the quality is quite poor in comparison ... My sister opted for the Sony HTK475 which comprises a seperate amp and speaker setup & gives her the option of upgrading the speakers at a later date ... The HTK475 is £100 dearer and IMO sounds slightly better than the HTK170 (but I dont think there is any upgrade potential with the HTK170) ... Hope this helps - Paul ;)

About Me
Hello all:
***Only very limited shooting for the next while. Health issues need to take priority. ***
Thanks for dropping in for a visit!
Sometime in the next few years photography will be my life.
Until then I have a day job, and photography is my creative outlet and a great way to releave stress. So I'm far more than a GWC, but not a professional photographer either:-)
In the old days of film and chemicals in the darkroom, I already had a photography business doing Public Relations work and portfolios for models. I have also worked for a newpaper as a sports photographer.
After a long gap I'm back, now in the digital age, although my Photoshop skills still need work I'm working hard on it;-)
I believe strongly that all the models I work with should find the experience completely comfortable and fun.
I am always happy to work with experienced models, but also take special pleasure in working with first time models (helping them feel comfortable and confident in front of a camera to their first successful photo shoot).
Just because you see nudes in my portfolio, does not mean that I will require you to shoot nude.
Please do not contact me unless you are as serious about being a model, as I am about being a photographer. Over the past few months I have had bad experiences with models not showing up for a pre arranged shoot. Not cool - I have a lot of money invested in equipment and rent for studio space, and my time is just a valuable as yours, so PLEASE don't waste my time or my money!
I rarely do TF* shoots but will do so if a concept or a model spark my interest. My rates are reasonable so don't be afraid to ask.
I am not trying to earn a living with my photography, but do need to cover my expenses!
I hope you like the shots you see here, I try to show a range of styles / looks, and not have all the images look the same:-)

Sir, I personally would not let it bother me. YOU have made a choice. It is NOT necessary for you to justify your choice to naysayers and even if you attempted to do so, it would probably be futile. Instead, immerse yourself in getting the best possible training and in the interim, read, explore, and continue to learn daily. There is a wealth of information on this site. Take advantage of it.
Remember, there are three types of people:
It will never happen to me - the fools.
It might happen to me - the prepared.
It is going to happen to me - the paranoid.
Be safe and "Good Training"

Damnit, now that I've thought about the thermal idea some more, I'm tempted to replace the ADAU1592 parts with a TAS5414A mounted on the bottom of the PCB. And with the ADAU1592 QFN's being a bitch to solder... hmm.
This project's never getting done at this rate

Wouldn't a USB connection presence sensing circuit be really easy to make and would be extremely low powered. It's really just sensing whether there's termination between + and GND, and if so turns on the higher amp circuit to provide, and as soon as connection is lost, powers down again. 5V at about 5-10mA should suffice.
As long as muted power consumption is held beneath the battery self discharge there's really no need to go further as up to that level is basically free anyways. I mean, the self discharge rate will discharge the batteries regardless of the power up to that rate is being used by the circuit or not.

From my understanding of SLAs, you don't get "free" current out of them up to the self discharge current - I'd love to be corrected on this though as it'll make the design a lot easier.

Self-discharge is unwanted chemical reactions in the battery happening even when current is supposedly not flowing. From my experience with both SLAs and LiFePO4 batteries both will have a "free current" point up to about full (for SLAs) and 2/3rd (for LFPs). It's easily tested though. Just take 2 identical batteries, charge them to the same voltage, and put a low power circuit on one, being lower than the discharge rate, and the other will just reamin unconnected. After a month, measure both batteries. For a 12V 7Ah self discharge is about 15mA, so about the same as a low power single LED.

I dunno about 15mA... 7Ah/.015A = 466 hours = 19 days. The "general google concensus" is that 40%-50% self discharge happens in a year... going with the 50% number (3.5aH) that's 3.5Ah/(365*24h) = 400uA.
Granted, self discharge isn't constant. I imagine it varies with battery voltage, number of cycles on the battery, temperature, etc.
I've been killing myself trying to make my card do 100uA standby, but I'll probably move that up to 500uA or even 1mA.

You might be right. I've only tested it with freshly recharged batteries and only for a few days. Maybe self-discharge is hyperbolic instead of linear. Or maybe it's because I've only tested with batteries in parallel which could also affect the result.
Either way, aiming for less than 1mA is pretty pointless as that would mean 291 days of standby. Any battery should be recharged at least every 3-4 months, or 3-4 times a year to avoid damage anyways.

Using LT3680 for the +5V output, running all the time, estimated power consumption is 334uA. If the micro senses the battery voltage is getting low, it will shut that down and power consumption drops to 260uA. Most of that is the ADAU1592's (82uA each) and the LT3652HV solar charger (85uA). Think I'll go with this method... only things on the user interface will be a pair of USB jacks for charging, an audio input using jack switching for the enable, and perhaps a bicolor blinkenled which blinks with the battery state.
If I go with TAS5414A, shutdown consumption is around 100uA. I'm really debating this change since it means not having to solder QFNs - the next worst parts on the board are exposed pad MSOPs and they're not all that bad to do. Unfortunately the TAS pulls 240mA idle, 160mA with two channels active instead of four... while the two ADAUs pull 44mA/pop idle.
ADAUs are nice because they've got decent current draw, fast mute/unmute (planning on using this if the audio's connected but not playing, to save a bit of power), two of them won't beat together since they're self-oscillating, etc. Only real issue with them is the package.
And I just realized they're going obsolete. Dangit.

99% done on the PCB now - just have to hook up the microcontroller I/O and fix a couple of thermals. It's a ridiculously tight fit, but I managed to keep a decent layout.
PCB dimensions are 6x10cm (fits in a Hammond 1590N, barely) with 12-pin 3.5mm terminal blocks on each short side and four mounting holes in each corner. It's a 2 layer board, compatible with the free Eagle tools.
I've kept two ADAU1592s for the audio output, despite their obsolescence and annoying package. No other chip was jumping out at me with the same performance, operating/shutdown current, etc.
I'm also making a slight variation on the board with one terminal block replaced with "user interface" connectors (dual USB jack, audio connector, bicolor LED) which I'll be using myself. Hoping I can keep this within 6x10cm also to allow use with free Eagle, I haven't laid the board out yet with these changes.
I'll post the design files on here when it's done, most likely later tonight. This will be under a permissive license, probably Creative Commons, letting anyone change the design for their own purposes.

Sounds really great. And I really can't thank you enough for doing this. My skills at electronics design are unfortunately woefully inadequate for such a task. Loudspeaker design is another matter entirely
I will naturally try and see if I can't make one if my soldering skills are up to the task and use it for the signature Boominator version I'm building for this years festival season.
I also very much appreciate you putting all this effort into fitting it into the Hammond case although I know it must have been a herculean task. But it would be a shame if people who have already built it and future builders who are building it after the drawings available would be excluded from using it.

Proponents of the growing oil and natural gas industry in Ohio told Portage County Commissioners Thursday that the industry is regulated enough.
About two dozen people, many who listed themselves as members of the Portage County TEA Party, came to Thursday morning's commission session to say they welcome the economic expansion the industry is bringing.
Mike Chadsey, campaign manager for Energy In Depth, a community outreach program of the Ohio Oil and Gas Association, said new horizontal hydraulic fracture drilling is bringing an economic boom to eastern Ohio.
"It's turning out to be pretty neat," he said. Carroll County landowners have reaped millions of dollars from land leases and area businesses have made more millions from drillers, Chadsey said. Carroll County leads the state with 189 well permits.
Chadsey said the industry expects to spend $1 billion in Carroll county to build pipelines in the next few years to move natural gas to market.
Commissioner Kathleen Chandler questioned the use of massive amounts (5 to 7 million gallons per fracturing) of water for the fracturing -- water that is then injected deep underground because it is contaminated with chemicals and natural byproducts from the fracturing process.
Chandler said she was concerned that putting used water into injection wells removes it from aquifers and the water cycle. "I am concerned that eventually our water table will go down and we won't have enough water" for the future, she said. Chadsey said the industry is moving away from using water to using gas, gel or other nonwater methods for fracturing the rock because water is expensive and tough to recycle.
Chandler also expressed concern that Portage County is taking waste from Pennsylvania and other counties. Portage has 17 injection wells, the highest concentration in Ohio. There are also 14 permits for drilling into the Utica and Point Pleasant shale layers for natural gas and oil production.
Ohio has permitted 518 horizontal wells, of which 236 have been drilled, according to current records from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Benjamin Kotkowski of Lakeside Sand & Gravel in Shalersville said his business has already benefited by supplying aggregate for two well pads. "We're expecting quite a boom" as more wells are drilled here, he said. "We're happy it's here."
Tom Zawistowski of the TEA Party said commissioners should be leading and not putting up roadblocks to the industry. He said people who have raised concerns about the safety of the large-scale horizontal hydraulic fracturing process are raising "potential worst-case" fears and scaring the public. He said claims of the toxicity of chemicals used in fracturing are overblown. He compared them to hair shampoo and dishwashing detergent.
Asked by Chandler to list the downside of the industry, Chadsey said the most frequently mentioned issues are the constant truck traffic during the drilling process, which goes on day and night for three-to-four months.
Once wells are producing, companies will be running new pipelines through the countryside to connect the wells. "It takes a number of weeks, months, years to regrow whatever is there," he said.

Actually Ian, The lease they are trying to put together around my home I am told is 1200 acres. One hole close to the state Rt with 2 legs branching out each way then turning and ending up with 3 legs running the same direction out across the lease from there..... As for that benzene the anti drilling people like to bring up...... In all probability none of them will ever come into contact with a higher concentration of benzene than when they filled their gas tank.
I was at that meeting. Some points that didn't make it into the article:
1) Many of the chemicals in the water pumped into injection wells, such as benzene, were not added to the water by the drillers, it was picked up in the fracturing process. It originated in one well and went to another.
2) Not all that water is injected, some is sold to townships who spray it on roads.
3) A horizontal well covers 640 acres while a vertical well only covers 32. Drilling of each new horizontal well will allow up to 32 vertical wells to be capped.
4) The drillers bond the roads they use, often time improving a road before they start drilling so that it will handle the truck traffic. In fact, the repaving of Tallmadge Rd was expanded with funding from a driller.
Red,I'm with ya on getting the gas line run by the house. Gas is sure going to be the way to go in Ohio far a long time. Mines all electric. Good at one point but no longer the deal of the day especially with them forcing our power plants to close with the new regulations.
Since I didn't see it last night I didn't want to say anything but I immediately thought canton causing the fuss. They jumped in early with their mayor claiming stark to be the fracking capital now that Carrol county is getting the lions share of the work at this point they arent as happy just having the title. This is just starting and is going to spread out from there. As the gentleman explained yesterday at the meeting right now they are concentrating primarily east of Rt 77. They are learning more with each hole they drill though and things could change.
The comments on this article added some interesting facts (apparently they're true) that made for better reading. Those came from Justathought and Redleg6. "Hiram" added nothing at all, and instead decided to insult a commentator by calling him names. My dear old Mom always said that you can tell when someone has nothing to add to a conversation nor has much sense when they swear or insult the other people. Hiram's personal attacks are an example of that.
JT: I watch it for the local stories/weather report. The union demonstrating was from Canton. I hope they run a pipe line pass my house and I can tap in. I'm tired of heating with fuel oil(expensive), and cooking on an electric stove.
No red I missed that one. Do you recall seeing any of the dozen or so stories done on the local hiring going on. I do. I also recall one local pipe fitters local getting a big grant to train welders because they simply don't have enough trained to handle the workload. This is just the beginning and I am confident there will be a lot more people in this state being employed directly and indirectly by the oil/gas industry. Yes there will be some coming into our state as well. Those people will be renting or buying homes they will be making any number of other purchases in our area stores and restaurants and such. Although concerned about getting as many jobs for Ohioans as possible, I don't think I'll start worrying too much over 1 story on channel 3. Actually, I had pretty much forgotten there even was a channel 3.
Did anyone see last nights news,(ch.3 NBC) the demonstration in Carroll County by the pipelayer/fitters union. Appearently the fracking companies are bringing out of state labor to drill and lay pipe. The news story said 1 out of 5 is a local hire. So much for the jobs. We get to keep the hazardous waste.
Attack, Hardly. state facts yes..... I do believe those meeting are recorded in fact I know they are. Feel free to listen for yourself and try to deny that his main concern appeared to be something other than I stated.... As for him not reaping the benefits now sorry that was a choice he made. Live with it and quit with the petty jealousy now. As for yourself, "Hiram" pretty much says enough.
Ain't it something how JustaThought feels it is ok to attack the author of this article, but if we disagree with JustaThought it's a whole nother ball game. JustaThought is just another whiny hypocrite. @JustaThought, you obviously feel you know it all about everything, so why don't YOU write an editorial and sign your name to it? You obviously have the time for it, I mean geeze, how many more times you gonna come back here to read this. Get a life. lol
"Pro-frackers look at economic boom, downplay environmental risks".. I dont know Steve, this may have been more accurate going with "Pro-frackers look at economic boom, Writer Whines about not getting any of Money" if I recall, that did seem to be one of your main concerns stated yesterday. Now looking back to when you purchased your home do you recall seeing in the contract where the seller was retaining the mineral rights? That was probably a factor in pricing the home. Thus you took your cut up front. You chose to save money then on the property you were purchasing figuring those mineral rights dont mean anything to you and bought land where the mineral rights were not being transferred with the property........ That was your choice but I rather doubt you signed under duress. Now looking back you want to have your cake and eat it too. You want the savings you took initially and now you are upset to see someone else possibly profit on what you made the conscious decision not to purchase back then. At least now I can see exactly where youre coming from on this.
Did anyone bring up the drillers prefer to stay off those township and county roads as much as possible. Sometimes that's not possible but they do keep it to a minimum because they are liable for those roads where as when they are on a state route they are already paying road tax for its use. Once they leave the state route they have to pay for any damage done from truck traffic.It just makes sense financially to stay off those back roads. When they do have to use them they may well upgrade the road at their expense beforehand to handle the weight and make sure it is wide enough, costing the county or township nothing. We get a free road repair. They make sure any damage done to the road from their use is repaired when they are finished as well. Not exactly a bad deal for the county,townships or taxpayers is it. That's one we won't have to pay to repair with our tax dollars.

BMW i and Susanne Kaufmann Create Purf-i Hand Sanitizer
posted by Stuart Fowle on 13 October 2011 in Lifestyle and Gear News
Yeah, yeah, the new BMW 3-series is going to debut tomorrow. But wouldn't you much rather hear about the debut of BMW's revolutionary new. . . hand sanitizer? Okay, great, because that's the big (hey, it's a slow news day) news today. It's the result of a collaboration with Susanne Kaufmann Cosmetics and it's co-branded with BMW's new i division. As a result, it is of course all-natural and totally friendly to the environment.
"BMW i and Susanne Kaufmann are two distinct brands that are committed to a sustainable future, where environmental responsibility and luxury can coexist," said Uwe Dreher, Central Marketing and Brand Manager for BMW i. "The unique collaboration between a natural cosmetics manufacturer and the BMW i mobility brand is an example of how nature and technology can work together and effectively enhance each other."
The new hand sanitizer was launched this week in New York, following up on a European debut in Berlin. It's part of BMW i's search for "products that not only make life in megacities easier, but also minimize environmental impact. Purif-i is composed entirely of herbal extracts and a combination of intelligent, super active substances. It simultaneously sanitizes and softens hands, combining alcohol extracts from plants and liquid silk proteins that protect hands from drying out. Since it requires no water or a towel, it can be used anywhere, anytime." It's on sale in Europe for 14 euros per bottle, so it'll cost a little more than that in dollars. But can you really put a price on naturally clean, moisturized hands?

Naperville, IL (NPV)
Established in 1831 by Captain Joseph Naper, the town grew quickly with the arrival of the railroad three decades later. It has also been listed as one of the country's best places to live.
105 E. Fourth Ave.
Corner of 4th Avenue & Ellsworth Street

For information about Amtrak fares and schedules, please call 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245).
The Naperville station was built in 1910 by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (now BNSF Railway). Today Amtrak shares this facility with Metra and it is the primary stop for Chicago's western suburbs.
As part of the monies distributed to Amtrak under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2010, the Naperville depot received a new wheelchair lift and enclosure in 2011 at an estimated cost of $14,000.
Established in 1831 by Captain Joseph Naper, Naperville's first growth surge began in 1864 when the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad ran its line through Naperville. The town remained largely a rural community for many decades until the construction of the Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88) and the North–South Tollway (I-355), when the population almost quadrupled and more corporate headquarters began relocating to the suburbs.
In 2006, CNN/ Money and Money Magazine ranked Naperville #2 on its list of the 100 best places to live in the United States. Naperville has the distinction of having removed parking meters in the mid-1970s. Special taxing districts were established to provide the revenue stream lost from the meters. Short-term parking is free in garages built in the 1980s and 1990s. The central business district is a five-minute walk from the station.
Amtrak provides ticketing services but does not provide baggage services at Naperville, which is served by eight daily trains.
The Carl Sandburg and Illinois Zephyr are financed primarily through funds made available by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Wait a minute !!!! Am I the only one who saw this comment ? When did Walker say this about the banana? Are you dead serious? How did others react ? I was recently there and he made a reference to Victoria's Secret or something like that, and I thought wow that was interesting and not the most appropriate for the entire congregation.I am praying for the truth whatever it is to be revealed. I attended Mt Zion for 5 years and yes there are some serious issues but that is in all churches because we all have faults. At the end of the day I was there for the word and left Bishop to God. I took my family and left after attending one of Bishop's "Ladies Night Out" where he stated that "ladies all men like oral and if you need to visit the grocery store and practice on a cucumber or a banana" there were young, old, married and single present and while yes he is a relationship counselor etc that was inappropriate. He like many mega church ministers get away with doing and saying what they please. At the end of the day guilty or innoent I pray for the truth and that if he is guilty that he will humbly repent and deal with his issues and the issues of those in authority at Mt Zion.

Sister Walker passed due to liver and pancreas cancer. You should be ashamed! Also Joseph Walker JWW Ministries is owned by Walker, he was also a Professor at TSU. He has written several books etc. So for those that continue to say that he lives off of the tithes of the church, I don't believe that. Though I believe some freaky stuff was going on. My question is why did these people bring these charges after the current First Lady was announced to have his heart? Are these women scorned? He may get freaky, but does that make him a criminal? No. And speaking of criminal, if there were any criminal acts, why are they only asking FOR MONEY? Not for them to be arrested? If all these things were done to me, I would want them brought to justice. So they could and would not be able to do this to anyone else?!! CAN EANYONE SAY, UMMMM!?

Preachers are human! But why is it that you are just tired of the black churches doing these things? And not any church? Because this is going on in many churches, no matter what the race, and for many many generations!! From a black woman!

Why is this Demon allowed to continue holding this church in hostage? This is a damn shame how this is playing out!! This is a scandal and is not being spoken on. God is not pleased and this is going to be judged by him who sits on high!! You can try to hide it, try to hush it, but God sees and in time will cause judgement to come

Bishop Walker announced ALL CASES DISMISSED! No SETTLEMENT! The Mt Zion Saints are rejoicing with tears of Joy & Peace... Now you know if God be for you; he is more than the whole world against you.
#113 Dec 2, 2012
At Mt. Zion we deal with the whole scripture. It is for the lack of knowledge that the people are destroyed. I think you need to read the "Song of Solomon" in the bible. That certainly is "R" rated. Thou behind closed doors we might not all display the same; it is vital that you and your spouse (hopefully) knows what each other likes or dislikes. It is what we don't know that causes so many failed marriages and families. It may see inappropriate to you; however, many marriages were saved because these were the questions that people needed answers to. "Is the be defiled or undefiled?"

As I mentioned a few days ago, I've been grilling up a storm lately. If it's edible, I've been throwing it on the grill! On of my favorite foods to grill has been pineapple. There's something magical that happens when it meets the grill, and despite its sweet flavor, it mixes really well with a savory dinner. (Grilled peaches are pretty amazing too!) These tofu and pineapple kebabs are perfect for 4th of July grilling – I think I'll make some today myself!
Grilled Tofu and Pineapple Kebabs
- 1 package extra firm tofu, drained and cubed
- 2 cups pineapple chunks, about an 1″ square
- 1 large red bell pepper, diced
- 1 large sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 cup Braggs Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic chili sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons agave
- a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- metal or bamboo skewers
- Mix all of the marinade ingredients together.
- Thread the tofu, pineapple, bell pepper and onion onto the skewers. Depending on their size, you will have somewhere between 4 and 8 kebabs.
- Place the kebabs in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Place the dish in the fridge and let marinate anywhere from 2 hours to overnight.
- Lightly oil the grill and turn the heat on. Once it's hot, carefully place the kebabs on the grilling grate and close the grill's lid. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the kebabs once.
- Remove the kebabs from the grill, and enjoy! Be careful with the skewer – it will be hot!
And while you've got the grill fired up, why not throw some asparagus on too?
Grilled Asparagus
- One bunch of asparagus, tough ends removed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
1. Toss the asparagus with the oil and then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Grill asparagus for about 5 minutes, turning at about halfway through.
3. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then eat up!

Learn How to Love Healthy Foods (Page 5)
Turn Up the Tunes
Even the background noise we hear while eating influences the way our mind judges food. Oxford University researchers recently enlisted 20 men and women to taste toffee while listening to a soundtrack that was either brass- or piano-filled. The results: the toffee tasted more bitter when accompanied by brass instruments and low notes and sweeter when piano music and high-pitched notes filled the air. While the brain mechanics are still unknown, one theory is that positive and negative attributes from music carry over to the perception of the food, a process called sensation transference. "Essentially, our brain integrates the sweet sound and sweet flavor into one stimuli," says lead researcher Anne-Sylvie Crisinel, Ph.D. You experience a similar phenomenon if you find a pasta dish especially delicious at your favorite restaurant when traditional Italian music is playing in the background. Be mindful of a constant, unpleasant background noise. "You know how food often tastes bland on airplanes? Part of the reason is that the low-level and intense noise of the engines has a somewhat masking effect on flavors. The sound actually dampens your flavor perception," Crisinel says. To use this mind game to your advantage, play your favorite upbeat tunes during healthy meals. "If you listen to pop music that you perceive as fresh or strong, you'll wind up ascribing those same attributes to the food you're eating," says Stuckey.

Lilias Trotter
Full Product Description
'You could become the greatest living painter. Your paintings would be treasured for ever.'Those were the words Lilias Trotter heard from John Ruskin, one of the world's most established art critics. She had to make a choice between her talent and her calling. Both were gifts from God. In May 1879 Lilias knew what she should do. God's work for Lilias was in the desert land of Algeria. Palm trees and camels replaced lampposts and horse drawn carriages. The desert was her home, its people her friends and its Creator her reason for life.
Lilias Trotter by Irene Howat was published by CF4Kids in October 2016 and is our 38991st best seller. The ISBN for Lilias Trotter is 9781781917770.

135 vs EVO
Motortrend did a bit of a comparision and for anyone still wondering how good of a track car the 135 is take a look.
The answer? Not good. 10 seconds on a little over a 2 mile course is embarrasing. Not that the 135 is slow but the EVO is otherworldly.
The one thing i also don't agree with is who they compare to the 135. Car magazine are comparing base prices but nearly every real world car is about 3-5k cheaper than a similarly equipped 135. I think lots of people will cross shop the G37 vs the 135 since they are very close in price and power yet Motortrend dismissed that comparison.
anyway, it is an interesting read and the BMW bias is apparent since they chose the slower, 8k more expensive car.
First of all, Motortrend is nothing but a bunch of tools. Second, I wouldn't expect a car that is made as a road car to perform well at the track. That's what ///M cars are for. The EVO is more of a track car that can be driven on the road. The 135i is more of a road car that can be driven on the track. They are both great cars that appeal to pretty wide variety of people. If money were a factor, I'd probably get the EVO. If it wasn't my money, I'd get a 335i coupe, just because it has that "it" factor.
Laps times don't necessarily equal good track car. A good track car should be involving, challenging but not punishing, and give you a chance to develop your skills.
A car like the EVO is going to drive itself, which is not what many people want in a track car.
I dunno where the 135i fits in this equation, I'm just making the point.
The EVO won't "drive itself" but all of the technology will help prevent you from putting it into a wall prematurely. The powerful but less advanced 135 with an open diff can more easily get out of hand and end up wrecked or damaged.
At the end of the tracking day do you want to pass people or be passed? How can anyone make a logical arguement that the 135 is a better track car?? Better car? Perhaps. Better track weapon? Not even close.
Though if track cars are your thing then BMW is the wrong place to look and has been since the debut of the E46 M3. Further from sport and closer to luxury with every model. Look at the E9X 3 series!!
The answer? Not good. 10 seconds on a little over a 2 mile course is embarrasing. Not that the 135 is slow but the EVO is otherworldly.
The article says 3.42 seconds, on page 3 and on the track diagram, on a 2.75 mile track. The last page with the chart has a typo on it.
While 10 seconds is embarrasing the 3.42 seconds is still a very very big gap of about 300 feet at an average of 60 miles per hour. Every 50 laps the EVO is going to lap you. Even in a 10 lap race you are going to be nearly a half MILE behind the EVO. How is that competitive??
The EVO is what, 3600 lbs? A track car that ain't.
As a current Evo owner, I would have to agree with "Superstock"s comment. While I have yet to drive the new Evo, my 05 is a 3156 lb track terror that has trounced countless decked out dedicated track cars, I'm talking ferrari challenge, Z0-6's, etc,etc. My friends track Evo (gutted down to 2600 lbs. w/ full cage, KW full race suspension, Alcon 6 piston frnt brakes & 315/40/18's on all four corners) can pas a radical in the corners on Homestead Raceway, there hasn't been a car on the track yet that could out perform it. So saying that the Evo isn't a track car is way off. In addition, the car doesn't "drive itself", it just allows you to start having fun much sooner, as it is very easy to figure out.
I'm so impressed with my wifes 335i sedan that I'm looking at selling my Evo (investing that money)& getting a 135 so I can have a DD & a mild track car. I figure it ought to be a blast with a nice set of wheels & tires, chip, exhaust & intake, maybe a set of H&R springs. But of course I'll have to test drive one 1st!
My friend was talking with a guy up in SC who test drives for BMW on thier tracks, he said that he turned in faster lap times with the stock 135 than the stock M-3 and that it was more fun too.
Someone driving a miata like they stole it will be just as fast than someone in a 135 trying to prevent damage. And they will have more fun.
You are absolutely right, but a Miata sucks as a DD, I had one. Whereas the 135 would make a very nice DD.
Motor Trend gave the 135i the First place win in this compo. Even though the EVO did better on the track.
The point is that with stiff springs and larger sways the track times can be greatly improved, however with the loss of the DD benefits of the 135i. Simply put the EVO comes with a more track ready setup than the 135i does, but who tracks their cars every day? Sorry but 5 to 10 track days a year do not justify the rough ride of a dedicated track car for a DD.
I setup my 05 Subaru STI as a track car, but still drove as a DD. When I sold the car I removed all of my mods, springs, HUGE sways ect. and was very pleasantly surprised how much better the car felt in stock setup as a daily driver. The main reason I sold my STI was because of the back busting ride every day, which I made much worse by moding the car for the track. Even though I only drove about 10 times a year on the track.
I will never do this again. If I choose to track a car again it will be a dedicated track car only, never a DD setup for the track. IMHO BMW's are still the best cars at both aspects, road and track, DD.
They are still best as secondary cars though. I have track car and DD car. I have found that if you try to do both with one car you are going to end up with unacceptable sacrifices in both. You can't have a true jack of all trades. And that is my point about why the 135 is an overly expensive toy.
It isn't good on the track because of weight and open differential and it isn't good on the street because of its size constraints. BMW wanted to make a more "track-ready" car than the 335 but since they borrowed so extensively the weight is still way too high and they didn't truly improve on the handling. They spent the money on marketting instead of the car.
If I was looking for a DD driver i would get the 328 or 335. If I was looking for a BMW track car I would get an older E36 M3 coupe for around 14k and gut it. It would be much better on the track than a DD 135 and I wouldn't worry obsessively about putting it into the wall because I still have my DD.
There are used cars that serve this (DD + track car) purpose better, but not many new ones.
Chris it is definitely a typo. Did you see page 3 and the tech sheet?
Tech Sheet:
135i - 156.34 3.42 sec back
Evo X - 152.92
Damn good for a car that is not soley designed around performance, that is wearing runflats, doesn't have a sophisticated AWD system.
For a better comparison.
135i only 2.14 seconds back of the new M3, that cost almost twice as much.
Side note: You seem to be interested in tracking cars. You might want to follow this story.
Ouch. We like ours. It was our only car from June 2007 until the X3 redelivery in November 2007.
This is my favorite quote:
And a few comments...
If lap time is important to you, the 135i isn't the car for you. There are other options if you want a factory ready track car.
I wonder if you gave 2 teams each $4000 to mod a 135i and an EVO, which would have the faster lap times
Mototrend used the press fleet car BMW NA lent them. Choose the options carefully and a 135i wouldn't be $8000 more than the EVO. The writers made that point in the article.
135i with Sport Package as the only option is $36,675. That is about $2000 less that the EVO as tested.
For track purposes, you just can't discount that the EVO comes stock with three limited slip diffs, front, center and rear, with a computer controlling output to all three very quickly. The 135i, well it comes with zero. BMW's aren't good track cars, at least when compared to EVO's, STi's, Porsche's and Vette's, which all come significantly better prepared for track use. They are more comfortable and better suited for daily driver duty and occassional track day use though.
The EVO bested the new M3 in lap time.
The EVO is quick as hell, period.
Motor Trend
2.74 mile Reno Fernley Racway Lap Times.
Evo X - 152.92
135i - 156.34
Next thread by superstock.
For shear driving excitement, Evo owns any BMW, period! Back in the day of a mild re-flash and a few supporting mods, I would eat E-46 M-3's like they were stale toast, I would play with them and then watch them almost spin out (one poor arrogant soul just couldn't get it in his thick head and ended up spinning off the track and kissing the tires @ Moroso Motor Speedway), so I wouldn't bother comparing them, as they're two totally different vehicles. Ones designed with beauty, refinement & pleasure, the other is aggressive road hugging, track dominating excitement, take your pick!

Here's my most recent dyno pull. Tha't @ 21 psi on 93 oct, we could get about another 80-95 WHP using 110-112 race fuel @ 28-29psi. The torque is almost identical except that it comes in sooner @ about 3500 rpms.
What are you doing posting on bimmerfest? Isnt there an evofest.com or something?
I value his input. Makes for much more interesting discussion.
We own an X3 and a Miata. Should I stop posting in this thread?
Superstock, I don't think I've seen you post one positive thing on the 135i. It seems like you're just browsing the 1 Series forum to post negative threads. I'm not sure if it's intentional on your part or not but it seems a bit odd.

The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) and Harbor Health Services teamed up on April 2 to hold a community walk and flash mob Zumba workout in celebration of National Public Health Week and to promote National Walking Day tomorrow. Nearly 200 participants from various local organizations turned out this afternoon to walk from the Greenway to City Hall Plaza, with attendees breaking into a flash mob Zumba routine when they reached City Hall.
The celebration featured representatives from over a dozen organizations, including Harbor Health Services, the Mass League of Community Health Centers, the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ), the South End Community Health Center, Health Care for All, Z-Spot Zumba, and more. Lena Andrade, owner and director of the Z-Spot Zumba studio in the South End, led the flash mob routine.
The event also capped off a month-long workplace wellness competition called "Race to the Beach" that BPHC organized as part of Boston Moves for Health. Dozens of local companies and organizations took part in the challenge to virtually walk or run the 1,500 miles from Boston to sunny Miami. Several Race to the Beach teams took part in today's event.
While there were no official winners of the workplace wellness challenge, a couple of standout performers made their mark on the competition. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, a major sponsor of Boston Moves for Health, had over 500 of its employees participate in the race. NICHQ, meanwhile, registered a one hundred percent participation rate among its nearly 60 employees.
For more photos of the celebration and flash mob, visit the BPHC Facebook page.

Just opened my season ticket renewal guide for the 2011 season. There is a lot of new stuff to discuss including the new Sweet Spot Benefits and Rewards that are Exclusively for Twins Season Ticket Holders. I just opened the envelope so I am still sorting through things. I will post about all the new perks of being a season ticket holder. Here are some quotes that were on the envelope about Target Field from the 2011 Season Ticket Renewal Guide:
"Target Field looks to be the Eighth Wonder of the World, a temple on the order of Wrigley or Fenway or the Acropolis, a beautiful little bandbox of a ballpark tucked snugly into the streets of old warehouses and the Burlington rail yards, with commuter trains running to its front door, a sight that fills me with unmitigated dizzy delight."- Garrison Keillor, in The New York Times
"Target Field is more than I think anyone, including myself, could have imagined."- Joe Mauer, Catcher, Minnesota Twins
"This is the fulfillment of a lot of dreams... Target Field has as much character, if not more character, than any ballpark in the country." -Bud Selig, Commissioner of Major League Baseball
"From the limestone on the dugout roof to the gate handles shaped like the state of Minnesota to the scoreboard hat updates the pitcher's walks plus hits per inning pitched after every play, Target Field fits the Twins' character."- Tyler Kepner, The New York Times
"Squeezed snugly at the edge of downtown, the lovely Mankato limestone ballpark opned on a warm, April afternoon that turned on more Minnesotans than Mary Tyler Moore's smile."- Jim Caple, ESPN.com
"Target Field is an exquisite as a steak dinner at Murray's. Everything is first-class, from the clubhouses to the bathrooms. It will be a crown jewel in baseball for generations."- Bob Nightengale, USA Today

Unfortunately, the battle frequently gets too heated, at which point several weaknesses in the control system emerge. Most annoyingly, you can't select a unit and then give multiple commands - you have to reselect that unit before each. As the number and the size of the sprites onscreen means battles between multiple units get pretty messy pretty quickly, this can make it hard to keep everyone moving in the right direction and attacking the foes you're aiming for. Keeping your heroes alive - particularly your healer, Penelo, and the Aegyl warrior, Llyud, with his useful 'restore' ability - is crucial, which can make it frustrating when they disappear into the scrum before you know it. It's all too easy to lose ten minutes of hard work with a stupid mistake. Square has implemented a range of button shortcuts to make things easier, and grouping units of a particular type under the most relevant hero is a very useful trick, but there will be times when you'll still struggle to maintain command.
While I'm moaning, the difficulty level is a mite up and down as well. In most cases a change of tactic or an adjustment to your esper selection will work wonders, but Revenant Wings definitely has its brick wall moments, and your head is likely to get banged against them. Meanwhile, whoever thought that the combination of this control system and a stealth mission worked should have spent a little more time playtesting their own game.
Overall, there's a lot to like about Revenant Wings. It's well-constructed, good looking and solidly paced, and most missions are just about bite-sized enough to make sense on a handheld format - something that can't be said of some other mobile strategy and RPG titles I might mention. Crucially, it's also built to last. Revenant Wings is not the kind of game you'll crack in a single weekend. Even the music is excellent.
All the same, I can't help feeling that it lacks something - perhaps addictive qualities, perhaps atmosphere. Maybe Square Enix didn't feel that this was the right game or the right platform for FFXII's stately melodrama, but the lighter tone and slighty storyline makes Revenant Wings feel a little less compulsive and a little more lightweight. And while the battles themselves are enjoyable, only a few boss encounters have any real sense of drama - the majority simply merge into the reasonably entertaining whole.
This isn't to put you off Revenant Wings if you enjoyed FFXII or if you simply fancy a good handheld RTS - it's just that I don't think the game has such broad appeal as, say, Advance Wars: Dark Conflict or Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass. Bear this in mind and don't get too carried away by the FFXII connection, and I doubt you'll go away disappointed.
A solid and entertaining offshoot of Final Fantasy XII and one of the best implementations of RTS gameplay on a handheld format. However, while Final Fantasy fans will love the way characters and concepts have been carried over, Revenant Wings lacks a little in the thrills and drama stakes.
