TERROR VISIONS is one of America's first 3D haunted houses ever created and is now regarded as the best 3D haunted house in America. Terror Visions is a 3D haunted house in St. Louis, Missouri located inside THE DARKNESS, one of the best haunted attractions in the World. The Darkness Haunted House is a two story haunted house filled with Hollywood quality sets, animations & special effects, located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri.
In 2009, our building was expanded with a new 16,000 square foot two-story addition, which now houses our workshop and both Terror Visions 3D and The Monster Museum. Originally, Terror Visions 3D was located at 19th and Washington Street and operated as a single haunted house in the mid 1990's. Terror Visions Haunted House on Washington Street later had its theme changed to Elvira Haunted House, but ultimately it closed for good. Several years went by without a 3D haunted house.
Eventually, Halloween Productions Inc (HPI) expanded their Darkness building downtown. The team from HPI wanted to add a second haunted house to The Darkness venue. Many ideas got kicked around until it was ultimately decided to bring back Terror Visions 3D. In addition to bringing back Terror Visions 3D Haunted House, it was decided to add a gift store and surround that with a monster museum. The original Darkness was located in the old Welch Baby Carriage Factory on 7th Street in Soulard. The Darkness was housed on one entire floor of 36,000. The original Darkness included a 13-hole themed mini golf, an arcade, a movie theater, magic show stage, and even a monster museum. When HPI bought the building next door, The Darkness Haunted House was moved out of the Welch Factory and into the building right next door.
The new building, with only 20,000 square feet, was not large enough to house a mini golf, arcade, monster museum, & movie theater. So those attractions were sold and shipped outside of Missouri to other attraction companies. Halloween Productions become a predominant production company building haunted houses, indoor blacklight mini golf attractions, dark rides, and more all across the World. In fact, a new company was started called Blacklight Attractions (BLA). BLA became (and still is) the World's best production company of blacklight attractions in the World. When the Darkness building was expanded it only made sense to bring back Terror Visions 3D because of Terror Visions' history in the St. Louis area, plus the company's current recognition for building the best 3D attractions Worldwide. After costing nearly 1 million dollars to expand the building and create the new attractions, Terror Visions and the Monster Museum opened in October 2009.
Terror Visions 3D Haunted House, now in its forth season, has evolved with each passing year. In the first season of this haunted house, it was mostly highlighted for its clown theme and amazing artwork. For the second season, this haunted attraction was renovated by adding tons more build-outs, sets and props, plus more sound fx. For 2012, Terror Visions 3D has reached an all new high with tens of thousands of dollars spent on custom animations, special effects, and the most hauntingly creative artwork scenes.
In the past, The Darkness Haunted House was the main attraction with the most elaborate build-outs and sets, but the objective for 2012 was to do the same for Terror Visions, and mission accomplished! A perfect example is the TNT room, whereby the entire room explodes after an animated clown detonates dynamite. Other incredible additions are the improvements to the queue room, whereby a multi-motion clown was added who tells jokes and insults the crowd. The biggest renovation to Terror Visions was in 2012 when over $100,000 was spent on new scenes, and one of kind never before seen special fx. One of the biggest addition was a multi motion Ice Scream truck which features two different screens showing clowns driving the truck while the other gives the illusion the truck is driving down the road. The new Ice Scream truck moves, shakes and vibrates while you walk through it... this effect was hailed by the haunted house industry during a tour in March 2012 as one of the most unique creations in haunted house history. Other new scenes and effects include a wacky funhouse room with funny mirrors, massive moving clowns, an attacking CLOWNZILLA animation, an over the top Jack N Box room and even a Mr Freeze Clown who blasts you with real frozen ice. The days of Terror Vision
being merely an add-on attraction of 3D mazes is over.
Terror Visions 3D Haunted House has been toured multiple times by owners of haunted houses nationwide and around the country and has been hailed as the best 3D haunted house in the industry. Are you ready to experience freaky crazed clowns, in a 3D environment where the walls appear to be moving, floors are floating and everything is right in your face? Your worst visions of terror are inside the World's best 3D Haunted House, Terror Visions in 3D, inside The Darkness Haunted House.
In addition to bringing back Terror Visions 3D and making it part of The Darkness Haunted House, we also brought back the Monster Museum. The hardest part of rebuilding The Monster Museum was the lack of monsters available for purchase. Our team had to search high and low for cool monsters to display, and our aggressive search paid off! We found many cool items for the Monster Museum like a full-sized Creature From The Black Lagoon, Predator, Alien and more. We also acquired a massive, full-sized Incredible Hulk and a real suit created by Rick Baker from Disney's The Haunted Mansion movie. Every year, we attempt to find new monsters and props to display inside the museum.
For 2012, we contracted a company to custom build and create a full-sized Wolfman, Darkness from Legend and ever Boris Karlof. The Wolfman is based on the newest 2010 film from Universal. It's quite impressive, and it's on display now, inside The Monster Museum at The Darkness. Guests can use their cameras/phones to take action pictures with this amazing, larger-than-life sized prop! Additionally, you'll find a Michael Jackson prop as the werewolf from the music video, Thriller, and a new, full-sized 'Darkness' from the movie Legend. In addition to the amazing monsters, The Monster Museum is also filled with classic toys, autograph memorabilia, signed movie posters, plus horror video games and pinball too!
The Monster Museum also includes a horror gift store operated by SLACKERS Music -Movies-Games where you can also purchase Darkness souvenir t-shirts, horror toys, collectibles, games, movies and more. When you come to The Darkness Haunted House, you get to tour one of the best haunted houses in America and simply the best 3D haunted house in the World, plus The Monster Museum for added fun! New to Gift Store includes Darkness 20th anniversery mugs, jackets, t-shirts, and even a 500 piece puzzle. Everything can be found at the exit of the all New Darkness gift store. The team behind The Darkness invested millions of dollars as well as years of creativity to build these ultimate haunted attractions. It's never been about money and profitsI. It's about living out dreams and the love of Halloween and everything horror. To have the ability to be a kid every day using your imagination and seeing your ideas be enjoyed by thousands of people every Halloween…that's what makes it all worth the while. This Halloween you must experience the single BEST Halloween attraction in America, The Darkness Haunted House, Terror Visions 3D Haunted House and The Monster Museum all located in downtown St. Louis, MO.

I have been trying to get a picture of Miss Bella for several days. If she is adorable, she moves by the time I grab a camera. Once I have the camera in hand she wants to play with it, cute and funny, but I can't take her picture like that! Here is my best shot today:
Now I'm off to make these: Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats
I've made them before and they are yummy!!

The Potential Of The New Hart Foundation Tyson Kidd, DH Smith, and Natalya
Last night on ECW, we finally saw the debut of Davey Boy Smith, but, more importantly, we saw the debut of the New Hart Foundation.
It's about time!
I've been looking forward to this ever since DH Smith was drafted to ecw.
The New Hart Foundation consist of three superstar athletes. Tyson Kidd is Bret Hart; DH Smith is the Anvil Neidhart; Natalya is Jimmy Hart.
This stable has a lot of potential to be something huge.
Natalya could rule the Diva's division and it amazes me that she has not been a champion yet.
The WWE wasted her potential. She has an amazing move set for a diva, and her finisher, the legendary sharpshooter, is effective.
She will become a champion someday, but, for now, she will be the Jimmy Hart of the New Hart Foundation.
DH Smith
I haven't seen him since he bested Carlito and JBL in one-on-one action. He has the potential to top Batista and to know how to wrestle a good match. He made an impression on me when he came out. I like his look—he has the face of a contender.
Usually, when I see DH Smith photos, I see a gigantic smile on his face. Still, he played the heel persona very well.
He was a good actor, but I can't judge his new character yet.
Tyson Kidd
This guy impressed me when I saw his athleticism. The fact that he was the last graduate of the famous Hart Dungeon was enough for me to like him.
His elbow drop finisher is alright, but I would much rather see him do the sharpshooter.
What is the duplicate article?
Why is this article offensive?
Where is this article plagiarized from?
Why is this article poorly edited?

Articles Archive for 2 February 2005
I hate to be lame and keep putting up links (not that there's anything wrong with that), but this story, like yesterday's, is too incredible not to be discussed.
I'm not going to make fun of babies who died from herpes, because that's not very funny. Well, maybe to some people, but I have lost four of my own children to sexually transmitted diseases (and two to a unfortunate BBQ grilling accident, three to an angry lioness, and one to some unforgiving rapids), and trust me, it's no laughing matter. It's just such a shame that these kids couldn't grow up to be confused young men and get herpes the right way: from a busty Rotterdam-based hooker named Regina after a few too many Heinekens and too much exotic marijuana.
The most disturbing part of the article is:
Under Jewish law, a mohel — someone who performs circumcisions — draws blood from the circumcision wound. Most mohels do it by hand, but Fischer uses a rare practice where he uses his mouth.
Now, I will admit that though I've slept with a goodly number of Jewish girls (before I ostensibly became a eunuch), I don't really know anything about Jewish customs or culture. I know that when my ex-girlfriend (who was Jewish) and I used to get in fights, I would say, "You know what? It doesn't matter that I tried to cheat on you with that one-legged girl who works at Toys 'R' Us - your people killed my fucking Savior! I'm just scoring one for the Catholics, you crazy Hebrew bitch!" and she would not be happy. I don't know if she was unhappy because I said that, or because she had to have sex with me on a regular basis. Probably both. Also, one time we got in a fight and to spite her I took a bunch of her birth control pills and had a seizure. She was REALLY pissed about that.
But really, how does letting an old man with a beard putting his mouth on your baby's dick sound like a good idea? How does the conversation between the child's parents work:
Mom: "Well, you know little David's bris is coming up."
Dad: "Yes, yes."
Dad: "Yes, yes."
Mom: "I heard about this great mohel, who instead of using his hands to perform the circumcision, uses his mouth. I think we should get him."
Dad: "That sounds like the greatest idea I've ever heard. I see how no harm could come to our child, either psychologically, emotionally, or physically, by letting a middle-aged man bite his genitals. Also, I love saving money."
(And if this is offensive in any way, I apologize – my Jewish friend Dana recently said of the crucifix, "I don't know why you Catholics make such a big deal out of it – it's a dead guy on some sticks!", so I'm cashing in my "get out of Jewish jail free" card on this one. And yes, I'm only being overly cautious with the Jewish jokes because I'm hoping to break into Hollywood and being anti-Semitic is NOT the best way to do so, or so I've heard.)
Another great part of the article, a quote from the rabbi's lawyer:
"My client is known internationally as a caring, skilled, and conscientious mohel," Kurzmann said. He continued, "I can assure you that I've seen a lot of grown men put their mouths on baby penis, and no one does it like Rabbi Fischer. To watch him work, when he sinks his gnarled coffee-stained teeth into that baby's junk, it's really breathtaking."
[OK, so maybe I made up everything after "Kurzmann said", but I'm not a fucking professional journalist.]
My question is: how many Jewish guys in the New York area are calling their parents right now and saying, "Mom – did Rabbi Yitzhok Fischer perform my circumcision? DID HE??? JUST TELL ME DAMN IT!!! TELL ME!!!" Some parents are going to have a lot of explaining to do over the next few days.
I was circumcised, but not because I'm Jewish. I was circumcised in the late 1970′s (1979 to be exact), when it was believed to be the sanitary thing to do and to prevent penile infections and cancer (I know this is a uniquely American thing, my dear international readers). The American Medical Association has since announced that there are no health benefits to being circumcised, but I'm still glad I am. I only know four guys my age who weren't circumcised, and we called them "The Covered Wagon Crew." And I don't want to start a big debate about circumcision or get emails from guys who do rock the hooded sweatshirt extolling the virtues of extra skin on your meat, but as a purveyor of porno I would like to go on record and say, "God DAMN do uncircumcised birds look weird."
I thought about whether or not my sons will be circumcised, and even though it's been medically proven there's no benefit, I want them to be chopped like their dear old dad. This may sound strange, but I don't know how I could relate to my son if he had a bird that looked like it was wrapped in a sausage casing. It's just very…weird. Fortunately, because of my diet and high blood sugar, I'm essentially impotent, so I don't have to worry about procreating any time soon. Also, if I do somehow manage to get and maintain an erection, I'm almost completely sterile, thanks to some cream I applied to my overly large scrotum in 1998, hoping to shrink it (it didn't work).
And when I was circumcised, I was cut the right way: by an older cousin (at least that's what I called him, though I don't think he was any relation), after a pint of Jim Beam, with a screw driver. And he did an excellent job, save for when he slipped and cut me pretty good and to stop the bleeding he sewed some tennis ball fur onto my bird, which is still there today – though it's lost its neon-greenness and is more of a brownish-reddish-purple color.
I have no idea how to end this post. How do you come back from saying that your bird has had tennis ball fur sown on it since you were a baby?
In conclusion, four things to take away from this post:
- letting a rabbi bite your kid's bird: not a good idea
- I love all Jewish people, especially those who work in the entertainment or publishing industries
- I am circumcised, and my kids will be as well, lest I see their birds and scream, "Ewww – what the fuck is that?"
- one time I ate a spoonful of poo on a dare
Have a good day.

Mary Elizabeth Bowser
Mary Elizabeth Bowser 1822 - ?
As A yong girl Mary Elizabeth Bowser was purchased by Richmond's Van Lew family to be a playmate for young Elizabeth Van Lew. The two girls grew up together and were close friends. After being schooled in Philadelphia, Van Lew returned home an abolitionist and persuaded her widowed mother to free the family slaves. The Van Lews paid for Mary Bowser to attend a private school for women in Philadelphia.
When the Civil War broke out, ardent Unionist Elizabeth Van Lew decided she could best serve the cause by working as a spy and sending information on activities in Richmond to Union military leaders. Van Lew wrote Mary Bowser and asked her to give up her secure life in the North and return to Richmond and help in the dangerous work. The fact that Bowser obligingly returned to the Confederacy and the Van Lew home attests to the trust and friendship that existed between the two women.
In the Souther society, a slave was often nearly invisible. Bowser, a polished and well-educated freedwoman, adopted the guise of an ignorant slave and as such, she was able to pass through Confederate lines while carrying important information to Union commanders, Bowser accompanied Van Lew on visits to provide "Christian Charity" to Union officers in Libby Prison, and she helped Van Lew hide and care for prisoners who escaped. Bowser's most important service to the Union came in 1864, when Van Lew arranged for her to work at the Confederate White House as a maid or nanny for President Jefferson Davis's young children.
As Bowser went about her duties, often serving as waitress at dinner meetings that included top military and political leaders, she gathered important intelligence that Van Lew passed on to Union officials. Supposedly an illiterate slave, Bowser was able to read and sometimes make copies of documents she found on the president's desk. At the end of the war Bowser returned to the North; nothing of her later life is known.

Office of Tax Simplification to look next at pensioner taxation and employee share schemes
Saturday, July 16th, 2011HM Treasury asks for interim reports on two new areas of taxation in time for Budget 2012.
The independent Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) was set up in July 2010 to carry out reviews and provide expert advice to the Chancellor on options to improve and simplify the UK's tax system. Reports on the first two reviews, i.e. on the simplification of tax reliefs and small business taxation, were completed in advance of Budget 2011.
HM Treasury has asked the OTS to review the current operation of
- pensioner taxation, identifying the parts of the tax system that create the greatest difficulty for pensioners, particularly where they receive pensions from multiple sources, and
- the four tax-advantaged employee share schemes, identifying areas that are overly complex and administratively burdensome, and suggesting simplifications.

In the performance The Singing Sculpture (1992), reconstruct a performance originally enacted in 1969, in the course of which they stood on a table in black woolen suits with their faces painted gold. Performing the same cyclical series of actions, they repeatedly sing a song popular in pre-WWII Britain. Their resemblance to sculptures, or identical objects of sorts, constitutes a form of ironic social commentary, and an externalization of eccentric behavior by theatrical means.

Here are your details:
I am back after several months, thought I'd give it another shot... Looking for Intelligent, Respectful, man with Integrity. I have faith, refuse to give up. There has to be one in SW FL somewhere Bottom line what will be will be............ Someone that knows the difference between, knowing the cost of everything & the value of nothing. Not looking for the perfect man, just the perfect man for me. Been told many times "You look just like your photo's". Most are within the last yr or two. Spent 15 yrs as a High Fashion NY Runway/Print Model, also 15 yrs in the Music Business Recording Studio/Production Love it most of all!!! Still in touch with friends & coworkers in the Music, just a part of who I am. Now I volunteer as a teacher for English classes two days a week. Have expanded it into a English program with the help of other women volunteers, I've done volunteer work since the age of 13-yrs old, with the Red Cross at the Veteran Assoc in Westchester Co NY. Hoping to find a gentleman, not into head games, is not looking to control or be controlled. Life is a two way street. I am Non Judgmental, open minded, very understanding, honest, kind person. Looking for someone like myself. Who appreciates all that life has to offer, good, bad, one day at a time... I was (for 22 yrs) & still am a single mother, although she's grown now on her own for quite some time, have one granddaughter. I was raised southern, spent half my life in NY. The rest mostly in FL, actually I'm a native..... For those who think we have no baggage, guess again. We all have something in life we deal with, just depends on our perspective, it's called life experiences. I am not a Drama Queen, pretentious, shallow, or superficial, not looking for those qualities in a man, met more than my share thank you. Like to go out enjoy life so just drop a line heydarlin the number one to the y place. I do enjoy dressing nice, fine dining, travel, as much a lovely sunrise/sunset, a beautiful flower. Or a nice quiet night at home. Just as comfortable in a Gown, as I am in jeans/top sandals. Like who I am, very comfortable in my own skin......... Would like a man who sees past the physical, realize there's more to me than meets the eye. I have more than looks, I have a brain know how to use it. Would like to be with just one person, hopefully he can appreciate what we both bring to a relationship. Maybe my last first date??? I believe in giving 100% & would like to fine someone looking for the same. Don't have a problem taking care of someone, who enjoys taking care of me also. I think we're here to help, support & care for our fellow man/woman. We've all had our ups & down in life. That's how we learn & grow. Yet, still being able to have our own interest at the same time. I've been independent most of my life, spending many, many years without a partner, by choice. Not looking for a one night stand or a serial dater. Would rather find a man I can't live without, than one I can just live with......Otherwise I enjoy my own company don't mind being alone. However at times I do miss having someone to share life with, who is honest, says what he means, keeps his word. Have been told I'm too honest for my own good, so I'll keep some details of my life to myself for now. Hoping to one day find a real man to share everything with eventually. * My favorite thing to do, honestly? Random acts of kindness, mostly for people I've never met...Putting a smile on someone's face is priceless, makes your heart happy. Waking up to the songs of a Mocking bird, going to sleep to the song of the whipper will or a Bob white. Or the sound of the waves coming in on the beach.

- Agents of Violence: What the violations against sex workers in Latin America reveal about U.S. presence in the region (Crunk Feminist Collective)
Over the past month, a "scandal" has erupted over the exposure of Secret Service agents who have used the services of sex workers. It is important to remember that scandals are created from popular imagination. So why has this news in particular captured people's imagination? The story is often referred to as an "embarrassment" and a "public relations" problem for the Obama administration. Missing from these descriptions are the voices of the women who were victimized by agents of the United States. Let's be very clear: sex work iswork. And refusing to pay a sex worker for his/her services is a form of violence and slavery, in the same way that refusing to pay any worker for his/her labor is violence and slavery. An even more appalling incident in Brazil came to light recently, where three U.S. Marines ran over a female sex worker with a car after she tried to open the car door to demand payment for her work. Although the Brazilian police wanted to press charges, the Marines were immediately deported (or smuggled out, let's be real) back to the United States where they were supposedly "punished," far out of the reach of the Brazilian justice system to which they should have been held accountable.
So where does this leave the women who were victimized by these agents of the United States? Calling these acts of violence, deception and manipulation a "sex scandal" diminishes the horrific nature of these acts, perpetrated by those who have immense power over the vulnerable woman-bodied people who survived these interactions. Similarly, as the media loves to use the phrase "sex scandal" for instances of rape and other types of sexual violence, the portrayals have again devolved into exotifying brown-skinned women, particularly sex workers, as simultaneously sexually deviant and unrapeable.

Construction and Projects
MVM Legal acts for clients on both sides of a building contract, such as Developers, Contractors, Sub-contractors and property owners. Our experience in building and construction law ranges from large scale multi story developments through to dividing fence issues.
In many instances contracts contain a dispute resolution clause. We believe that a majority of matters can be resolved at the dispute resolution stage, which benefits all parties to the contract in both time and cost.
Both sides to a contract have rights and it is important that those rights are explained clearly and concisely. We specialise in providing pre-contractual advice to parties to a building contract so as they are not taken by surprise once the contract has been entered into and building works have commenced. Our experience indicates that many disputes arise out of parties not fully understanding the terms in the contract. In this regard pre-contractual advice can ensure that both parties know what they can expect from the contract which can reduce any delay and additional costs.
We offer advice and representation in the following building and construction law areas:
Sub Contractors Charges, including:
- Preparation and service of a Sub Contractors Charge on behalf of Sub Contractors
- Review of a Sub Contractors Charge received by an employer or contractor
- Commencing or defending proceedings under the Sub Contractors Charges Act 1974
Claims made pursuant to the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004, including:
- Preparation of a Payment Claim
- Preparation of a Payment Schedule
- Preparation of an Adjudication Application
- Preparation of an Adjudication Response
- Reviewing an Adjudicator's Decision
- Obtaining an Adjudication Certificate
- Obtaining a Judgment Debt based upon an Adjudication Certificate

- A decision to issue an Infringement Notice or Direction to Rectify on a licensee
Queensland Civil & Administrative Tribunal Applications regarding domestic/residential building work – for either the home owner or builder, such as:
Proceedings commenced by the home owner against the builder for:
- defective works
- breach of contract
- delay
Proceedings commenced or defended by the builder against the home owner for:

Mismatched hFE... important?
I've had my Rotel RB-870BX for a few years now and after getting a Cyrus Two and restoring it to working order I wondered "Why doesn't the Rotel sound like THAT?"
Anyway, I'd long known there was some DC offset unbalance on the Rotel, one channel coming up about 20mV, one channel coming up at 70mv. Eventually I went and bought a Peak DCA55 semiconductor tester (for use with future projects and jobs) and myself and my electronics engineering mate took out all the power transistors (all 12 of them, 6 per channel) 2SB817/2SD1047 PNP/NPN, and measured them with this new fangled toy. Noting the results we were a bit baffled by the transistors measured hFEs... LCH: 2SB817E (NPN) 104 97 96 2SD1047E (PNP) 60 59 49 RCH: 2SB817E (NPN) 111 108 108 2SD1047E (PNP) 56 56 63 So some questions, should these transistors with a rated hFE of 100-200 for both the PNP and NPN be measuring so differently? Why are the PNPs showing such a consistent hFE drop/difference to the NPNs? Taking the power transistors down to 4 per channel (8 in total) by removing the lowest hFE specced, and finding the best matching transistors (2SA1016K) for the differential pairs Rotel from various postions on the boards, the amp does indeed seem to sound a bit more open, a bit less muddy and with a better soundstage. And the DC offset seems to measure a bit more favourable 15mV across both channels. Is it worth completely changing the mismatched power drivers for newer, hopefully better matched complementary pairs? I've been looking at what's available from Farnell (my suppliers of choice) at things like the 2STC5242/2STA1962 or the 2STC5200/2STA1943... how will these newer transistors fall into this 30+ year old design? Any help really appreciated, especially on the mismatched pairs!!! RB-870BX Service Manual 2SD1047/2SB817 Datasheet 2STA1962 Datasheet 2STC5200 Datasheet

My experience, and I'm speaking strictly as some joker on the Internet here, is that the devices in the same group need to be matched well enough to share current reasonably closely for reliability. Emitter resistors reduce the need for matching. As for the NPN vs PNP, it's almost impossible to find complimentary devices with near the same Hfe. When I've been able to do it, the THD comes out lower, maybe with more favorable harmonics, and I wanted to believe the amp sounded a bit better. Could be all in my head. FWIW, I also believe that no decent design requires specific or very closely matched Hfe. If it does, it should go back to the drawing board, because it's just a laboratory curiosity, not a production ready circuit.
May the root sum of the squares of the Forces be with you. |

I'll second Mr. Hoffman - usually when I recap an amp I replace all the transistors as well, and I always order about twice as many as I need and then try to match everything for hFe as closely as I can. The amps always sound much better, though how much of the improvement is due to the transistors I can't say.

the hFE read oddly, because they have not been measured to comply with the manufacturer's specification.
That does not give any assurance that measured properly you will find a closer matching of hFE. BTW, I consider Vbe matching of paralleled output devices to be far more important than hFE matching. |

I looked up the Peak DCA55 semiconductor tester and I want one! That said - it makes its measurements at fairly low voltages and currents. Are these the right measurements to base the matching of power transistors on? Under full load, the value of hFE will be very different from that measured by the DCA55.

Vbe, hfe, are curves. The DCA has a CCS so it measures all at 2.5mA Ic for Hfe at least and its comparable spot check for same type. Full display takes a curve tracer. For Vbe it forces high Ib current so its more consistent to match but don't expect to see the same value when biasing small transistors in circuit.

Those Hfe results are pretty normal. Nothing to worry about and nothing to do with the better sound of the Cyrus 2.

From the datasheet for the 2SB817/2SD1047 it appears that hFE is (nearly) constant for collector currents up to 1,5A or so.The measurement of hFE taken at 2,5mA should therefore apply to currents up to this value. Not perfect perhaps, but a whole lot better than no measurement.

If offset is your worry, barking up the wrong tree looking at output mismatch.
The VAS is single ended and couldn't care less. Except in terms of sharing the burden between parallel devices, 2H, and crossing distortions. Mismatch here has nothing to do with offset... Your offset is mismatched VBE at Q601 Q602, input pair. The devices could be perfect match, but the currents flowing are probably not. Q601's current is dictated by the VAS, and Q602 must conduct the remainder. Correct proportion of "remainder" must be provided the tail. Just make your tail adjustible, and tweak out the offset....

Right, my techy friend went and read this and kindly pointed out to me that the way I worded it made it sound like I was linking the DC offset imbalance with the unbalanced hFE in the power transistors... sorry, I wrote that just before heading to bed!
The DC offset issue was helped by better matching the input pair, an imbalance found between the pair on the channel with the higher DC offset was remedied without having to buy any parts whatsoever! With both DC offsets now at 15mV I consider that 'sorted'... The Cyrus Two is a brilliant sounding amplifier, I didn't think I could make the Rotel sound like that, totally different designs but I wondered why it just sounded, well, lifeless with a huge lack of soundstage... surely it's not right... So, the unbalanced power transistor hFE readings. I guess this is a case of OCD tweaking seeing as the design compensates for this through the feedback loop, etc... Just how much better would the amp sound if I were to go for new complimentary pairs (and chancing that they probably will not 'match' that well anyway)? It makes me wonder, is this why Cyrus went for the quasi-complimentary design which takes out the usual issues of NPN/PNP matching (or lack of...)? Another point being that the Cyrus used some well specced transistors elsewhere in the circuit that to this day are hard to substitute for...! It was a nightmare trying to track down 2SA1775As *argh!*

"I was very impressed with the free shipping on my product a couple of months ago. I think this site actually has free shipping for all their items year round. Really great and I love the wall mirror I ordered. Thanks :)"
"I recently found Buxnie and I had a great online ordering experience with them. They had great follow through and customer service. I highly recommend Buxnie. Thanks for the wonderful service."
"I ordered 2 shoes similar in style knowing that I would be returning one of them. I called to find out when I should receive the shoes and the representative, Daniel, was very helpful. The shoes actually came that day. I also went to return the one pair of shoes and they refunded me the money, but told me to keep the shoes which was very generous of them."
"BUYER BEWARE! If you're thinking about purchasing from Buxnie, try a few things first. 1-Call the Business to ask a simple question/leave a voicemail.2-Email them a simple question. I can guarantee in the first instance, no one will EVER ANSWER the phone, and you will NEVER receive a response. In the second, you might get a response in a month. In trying to return an item, the only way I've had success getting responses was through the BBB; and when Buxnie finally replied, they made me out to be the bad guy, like I was hurting the small business man. Correction Buxnie, the reason why your business is floundering is due to the fact that you have horrible customer service. Buyer Beware, If you have any issues after the order, you're on your own! I have NEVER written a review of an online business before, but I was so disgusted with the response/service I received from Buxnie; that I'm writing this in the hope that fellow consumers will not experience the same. STAY AWAY FROM THIS MERCHANT!"
"BEWARE! This company lists a customer service phone number which they never answer or return messages. The auto answering machine suggests contacting them by email, which they never respond to as well. If your order has a problem, or you have an issue with shipping and delivery, or an item you've already been charged for is on back order, you're out of luck. Avoid paying for a bundle of frustration and simply make your purchase elsewhere. "
"Had never heard of this company nor could find any online reviews. Price for a Natura comforter was significantly less than anywhere else. Took the chance, and would highly recommend! After my order was placed, the comforter was sewn then drop-shipped from the manufacturer in Canada. Shipping was less than a week and Buxnie kept me updated with tracking information. Perfect sale.

Maybe twenty-five years ago, I sat next to a venerable and elegantly-dressed gentleman at a garden-related dinner party and admired the sprig of boxwood in his lapel, its tiny dark green leaves edged and dipped irregularly in creamy white. I asked him for its name, Buxus sempervirens 'Elegantissima,' he replied. He said it grew in his garden, and I immediately wanted this unusual (to me) boxwood in mine. Shortly thereafter I found and planted a tiny rooted cutting, which is now a presence in our small yellow garden, having grown to a height of about six feet. It adds a lively light touch to the garden. We do not protect it this time of year and, so far, it has survived all the vagaries of winter weather. I love to cut long inside branches of it for winter bouquets, and in this way I give it an annual pruning as we are supposed to do to bring more light and air into the center of the bush.
Thank Heaven for Hydrangeas
Do admit. Hydrangeas add punch to the garden with their blowsy blooms from summer right through fall and into winter, their fat plumes turning from green to chalk white to pink to rose to buff. Of course I am referring to the Hydrangea paniculata hybrids such as 'Limelight,' 'Tardiva,' Quickfire,' and 'Little Lamb.' From August on, I depend on them for my big bouquet in the library, their showy blooms mixing well with flowers from the meadow and garden such as the tiny-flowered black-eyed Susan, Rudbeckia triloba, and sprays of goldenrod, or, as now, the berries of autumn. Right now, I have a pitcher of 'Limelight" mixed with branches of Viburnum dilatatum 'Erie' behind the library sofa. This viburnum is at its showiest right now with masses of tiny deep red berries littering the 8′ shrubs. The leaves are deep green and leathery, touched with bronze by the end of this month. Even after the leaves have dropped the fruit will linger, finally eaten by visiting birds.

What is love?
is love just a chemical reaction of 'pheromones' that can't be seen?
Or is love a mysterious emotion that we will never understand but only experience?
Personally, i believe love exists, or otherwise some sort of fate or determinism exists to a point that time travel exists in order for us to experience it (yes, that's how crazy i get when i fall in love with a woman...)
So, what do you think? is love real? Would you prefer not to know if it weren't?

Nov 3 2012: Love is termed in different manner. it is the level of attachment involuntarily takes place in ones heart based on connectivity.
the society /community is architectured in such a way our culture knits a demand for oneness. the urge to unite is a trigger to biological dynamic performance for further strengthening. this is the starting point of family. sudden with drawl of physical connectivity for some time /for ever deprives our sensual satisfaction.
the severity is the pain source of individual.
how ever it is a true force for eternal peace and spiritual path. one should not cling to sensual love for sake of pleasure/appeasing senses. raise above the senses and love for love sake. this is the essence of every religion on planet.

CENTERE's turfgrass exhibit at 2006 State Fair features living room furniture
Visitors found turf tips and a grassy place to sit at the fair.
Photo by Becky Kirkland
A turfgrass-covered couch and chair were the centerpieces of the N.C. State University turfgrass program informational display at the 2006 North Carolina State Fair. Students and faculty from the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences program invited fairgoers to check out the living room furniture and to learn about ways to improve their own lawns. Throughout fair week, visitors to the display on the veranda of the Exposition Building were directed to resources from the College's Center for Turfgrass Environmental Research and Education (CENTERE), including the Web site www.TurfFiles.ncsu.edu. There, CENTERE offers turf tips, information on how to identify weeds, pest alerts and other turf-related news. On the final Friday of the fair, Steve Troxler, state agriculture commissioner, stopped by for a special sitting on the turfgrass-covered furniture

Buy local program could be boon for area farmers
Schools and hospitals are getting together in the Ashland area to buy most of their food from local producers. Organizers hope it'll end a long, hard economic time for small farmers.By: By Mike Simonson/Wisconsin Public Radio, Superior Telegram
Schools and hospitals are getting together in the Ashland area to buy most of their food from local producers. Organizers hope it'll end a long, hard economic time for small farmers.
Eileen McCutcheon and her husband operate the 105-acre Angel Acres organic farm in Mason.
"It has been an excruciating recession," she said
McCutcheon and a couple of dozen other food producers within 100 miles of Ashland are taking part in a new "buy local" program organized by Northland College. The liberal arts college with an environmental emphasis is increasing the amount of locally produced food it buys from 10 percent now to 25 percent next year, with an ultimate goal of more than 80 percent.
Northland College Sustainability Coordinator Nathan Engstrom says this means more money will stay in the area.
"So you start to think of billions of dollars in food purchases a year, let's say in the state of Wisconsin and the fact that most of those dollars are leaving our state, many of them are going around the globe, certainly around the country," Engstrom said. "Those dollars equal jobs and the more of those we can keep local, creating new opportunities for younger farmers."
McCutcheon of Angel Acres says combining organizations like hospital and public schools that consume lots of food will mean more business for them, so they in turn spend more money locally.
"It's great if we can just keep it flowing and keep it going," McCutcheon said. "Right now we're still in negotiations so they haven't actually purchased anything from us, but I'm hopeful."
Northland College hopes to get Ashland Memorial Hospital and area public schools to join the "buy local food" program.
Wisconsin Public Radio can be heard locally on 91.3 KUWS-FM and online at www.wpr.org.

I had no idea how selfish I was being when other people's dogs would jump on me and I'd say, "Oh, that's OK. I don't mind." Wow! How thoughtless and inconsiderate!

Your Pup's Safe Place… The Crate Part 2
Back in the post "He's Here. The Early Days", I suggested getting half a dozen or so stuffable chewtoys*. These are specific purpose toys. With these you will develop Bozo Pup's acceptable object-chewing habit. Chewing is a natural behaviour for puppies. You will want to indulge that behaviour and enable him to form acceptable chewing habits. Squeaky toys, stuffed toys and balls are other use toys. Stuffed chewtoys are always to […] Read more »
Your Pup's Safe Place…The Crate
The crate. If you've done good homework and chosen a breeder who home-raised puppies, chances are good, Bozo will already be familiar with a crate. Many dogs I know will seek out a cave-like space under a desk or behind a chair next to a wall so we know the 'cave' concept is acceptable to them. The crate is Bozo's moveable haven. Read more »
Your New Puppy Has Arrived…The Early Days
Even as I write all that needs to happen in order to a) Be ready to bring the puppy home and b) To integrate him into your family, I feel the pressure of "so much to do, so little time." I sincerely hope you're reading this while you're in the "maybe we'll get a puppy" stage. Having a plan will make Bozo's moving in much easier. It doesn't matter where […] Read more »

It will learn what you teach it. If you don't teach it anything, it will learn from that, too. So, you see,training your puppy to fit into your home and lifestyle makes sense. […] Read more »

Olivia Jacobs wins again at Martha's Vineyard spelling bee
Photo by Ralph Stewart
Although there were 17 hard-fought rounds, Olivia Jacobs, a Tisbury School seventh-grader, took a beeline to the top Friday morning, at the Martha's Vineyard Public Schools' annual Spelling Bee.
For Olivia, it was the second straight year that she's been the top speller among Vineyard Bee participants.
The Martha's Vineyard Times sponsored this 20th annual Bee, which was hosted by Martha's Vineyard Regional High School, on March 18 in the Performing Arts Center.
The hour-long contest came down to a battle of words over eight rounds between Olivia and Amanda Barbosa, an eighth-grader from Oak Bluffs School. The word "hydraulic" put Amanda out of the running, and Olivia clinched first place by correctly spelling "suave."
She and six other spellers from the five Island elementary schools, the Martha's Vineyard Public Charter School, and the home school community competed, after they were selected following competitions at their schools for students in grades four through eight. The Times underwrote the costs associated with the school bees.
In addition to Amanda, the other runners-up in the regional bee, in order of finish, were: Pearl Vercruysse, grade 6, from West Tisbury; Savanna Aiello, grade 6, from the home school community; Ciara Seccombe, grade 5, from the Charter School; Paulo Pereira, grade 6, from Edgartown; and Coltrane Leport, grade 5, from Chilmark.
Among the 52 words in 17 rounds, the ones that foiled contestants included tithe, diorama, wanderlust, popularity, semantics, and hydraulic.
The words selected for last week's competition came from a final local bee list of 500 words provided from the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Olivia was well-practiced, both at spelling and endurance. Her win at Tisbury School's bee on February 22 came at the end of 42 rounds, after she and fifth-grader Coralee Larue battled it out for several of them. Olivia said after she won her school spelling bee, she studied about two to three hours a day from a list of about 1,200 words available on an online national Bee study site to prepare for the Island-wide competition.
In the midst of all of her spelling preparations, Olivia also managed to take part in the Tisbury School production of "Bye-Bye Birdie," run her dog-walking and grooming business, and play volleyball and basketball.
Jean Holenko of the Oak Bluffs School was the Bee coordinator. Whit Griswold, editor of The Times' Community section, was the pronouncer. James Weiss, superintendent of Martha's Vineyard Public Schools, and Times news writer Janet Hefler were the judges. Times editor Doug Cabral congratulated the spellers and presented them with certificates and prizes.
School bee coordinators were Deb Orazem, Edgartown; Janet Stiller, Tisbury; Skye Sonneborn, West Tisbury; Jackie Guzalak, Chilmark; Treather Gassmann, Charter School; and Vanessa Fink, Home School Group.
As the Island's winner, Olivia will represent Martha's Vineyard at the Scripps National Spelling Bee. The Times' Bee sponsorship includes underwriting the champion's trip to the national Bee.
The national competition will be held June 1 and 2, during Bee Week, which runs May 29 through June 3, at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center on the Potomac River, near Washington, D.C.

We have moved!
As promised earlier, here is the new website for this blog. It has been renamed to Day to Day Photo to reflect the vision of helping fellow photographers to be better at photography by having daily snippets of photography.
I thank you guys for supporting this blog so far and I hope you continue doing so for Day to Day Photo.
We are Moving
Yes that's right. This blog is moving to a new home, with a new name and address.
The past semester in college has inspired me to pick up a new skill in web design and development. With this new skill, it's only fitting that I use my own blog to experiment and further develop my skills. I'm currently focusing on is of course WordPress so to be able to fully utilize the WordPress content management capabilities, I need a self-hosted WordPress installation. I have already signed up for a webhosting service and currently I am in the middle of designing and building my own WordPress theme for this blog. As of now, I'm not releasing the new URL of the blog yet as I don't want web traffic going to the website that is still under construction.
For the new blog, I have created a new blog plan based on the lessons I learnt from this one. So look out for more articles relating to introduction to photography and guides on how to get started in photography. There will be a photo gallery where I will be posting my own photographs, instead of putting them into blog posts as what I did here. I will be posting more DIY projects as I personally find them interesting and enjoyable,
Besides the new blog, I will be engaged in personal web development projects, so there could be frequent minor tweaks and improvements on the structure of the blog along the way.
So stay tuned and I will be announcing the blog within the upcoming weeks.

The Southern Ridges – Henderson Waves
A friend of mine recently acquired a Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.4 for his Canon 550D and we decided to visit the Henderson Waves since I left the graduation photoshoot midway due to illness. It's a little known pedestrian bridge spanning 274 m at 36 m above Henderson Road, well for me at least since it's my first time there, linking Mount Faber Park to Telok Belangah Hill Park. With a breathtaking view of the southern coast of Singapore, extending from Marina Bay to Harbourfront and Labrador Park, it's no wonder why it's been a topic of interest recently.
Without a tripod, I had to make do with just an hour of shooting before the sky turned completely dark and I'm glad to have these photos as keepers.
And recently, I discovered that I might be red-green colour deficient, meaning I can't distinguish certain hues of red and green when they're placed close to each other. It doesn't affect me on day-to-day activities, but I was still affected by the news at first. Eventually I realised that I should be thankful it was mild and there are people who suffer from total monochromacy. Nevertheless, this episode started me thinking on what exactly photography is to me, whether it is about how I want my photo to be seen by others, or about how I perceive the sights around me and keeping a record of my own visual experience. Perhaps I might just start shooting in monochrome to see the world from the perspective of those with total colour vision deficiency. Here is the first:
PS: a location map of Henderson Waves.
