I recently bought a cheap chinese strat copy to practice on and kick around. About 2 months later, the electronics started to act up (no sound, shorting, etc) so I decided on a pre-wired to replace the junk. After a little dremel work, re-drilling and soldering the strat copy was ready to go. Plugged in and powered up and was amazed at the difference. The copy now sounds as close to the real thing even better than the MIM or MIJ models available now.
I recently purchased a wired pickguard from Stewmac and I must say I am well pleased with the product. I picked up an old Strat style guitar for just a few bucks and wanted to make it a project guitar. I got the parts I needed last week from Stewmac and put everything together and tuned her up. It sounded great. Saturday night I played that old guitar in the band and everyone commented on how wonderful the old guitar sounded with the new Stewmac wired pickguard. I would recommend their products to anyone, and their fast service is great ! Thanks stewmac...
Can't fault it at the price. Well put together, everything works just fine and it sounds suitably strat-ish.

Offend the locals
It's well worth doing a bit of research into local customs. Handkerchiefs are considered disgusting in Japan, a glass of vodka in Russia should be drunk in one go, don't give an Egyptian the thumbs up, and avoid showing the soles of your feet to people in Asia.
It goes without saying that you shouldn't sunbathe topless in the Middle East.

Hi! I am one of those guys who just discovered that strabismus is not necessarily for life. I am almost 55 and just starting to analyse the issue. I think I will start here as a follower because I am new and also because my English is not very good. I want to say thank you for this opportunity!
That's cool... thank you very much for the site! It's nice to talk to people in the same situation and relate to them!
I've been doing really well with my VT! I originally wanted to find people that could give me some tips and tricks, but I have found that I really enjoy meetings other people with strabismus. I don't know why, but it's great to know others like me :-)
Thanks again for this wonderful site, which allows us to network and connect! I appreciate this a lot!

This could be my first time of blogging on Sunday. But I need to show to the world the real fusion is. And of course because this love bird cant wait for going to honeymoon so early after their wedding tomorrow.
Anyway, it's been a great day yesterday. Good weather, awesome couple, helpful and lovely bridal party and great team coming with me.
Pardon me if I love our works so much, as I promised to myself that never produce second best job under my hand.
Anyway, here is the same day edit slideshow from yesterday.
As soon as I saw Linda's gown and then Adiv spotted spare bubbles, I thought it would be fun to create something dreamy. There you go.
I will talk more about them when I posted their prewedding video next week. Have fun.

Carbohydrates are our primary source of energy and dietary fiber. Carbohydrates are also intrinsically involved in many biologic processes.
It's no accident that when we are hungry, we reach for carbohydrates, for carbohydrates are the form of energy our bodies prefer and digest first:
-Our cells prefer using carbohydrates to enter into the KREBS cycle, a complicated metabolic process that yields THE energy molecule, ATP
-Our bodies prefer carbohydrates as the energy source because those calories are structurally easier to get to than fats or protein
-Amylase is the enzyme in saliva that begins the breakdown process of carbohydrates into its usable units as sugars
In the context of nutrition, carbohydrates are referred to as simple or complex
-Simple carbohydrates
—monosaccharides = 1 sugar molecule; glucose and fructose are monosaccharides
—disaccharides = 2 sugar molecules = 1 glucose and 1 fructose; lactose and sucrose are disaccharides
-Complex carbohydrates
—polysaccharides = many monosaccharides joined by chemical bonds into chains and branches
—oligosaccharides = 2-10 monosaccharides joined by chemical bonds into chains and branches
Complex carbohydrates provide a higher quality source of energy with a longer breakdown process, which slows the onset of hunger and stabilizes blood sugar levels.
The plant sources of complex carbohydrates provide dietary fiber:
-The cellulose in the plant wall has polysaccharides and oligosaccharides
—The polysaccharides portion is made of insoluble fibers, and because humans lack the enzyme to digest cellulose, this material passes through the digestive tract nearly intact, helping to eliminate other toxins from the body with it
—The oligosaccharides can break down; they are the food source for the micro- flora in our digestive tract
-Compounds from plants are used in our cellular functioning and systemically
— Lower cholesterol, anti-cancer, antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral; bind to specific hormones that are in excess to clear the body of them and eliminate with solid waste; reduce hunger cravings
-Compounds from plants are commonly used in industry
—As thickening and binding agents for a multitude of products, from ice cream to pharmaceutical gels
Carbohydrate Digestion, Assimilation, and Synthesis
The storage carbohydrate in animals is glycogen. When not utilized by the body, carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver and in the muscles. Leftover leftovers are stored as fat.
Recommended Amounts
Age, gender, general constitution, and activity levels vary from person to person, so recommending the proportions of protein, fat, and carbohydrate in the diet isn't possible.
For every gram of carbohydrate you consume, you get 4 calories of energy- this is true for any type of carbohydrate. Here's a link that gives you a general guideline of amounts for you, including vitamins and minerals for you, based on age, gender, and activity level.
At Mountaintop Acupuncture, we will review of your diet to figure out what your dietary needs are, and offer feedback and suggestions after assessing your condition, health history, and general constitution.
At Mountaintop Acupuncture, we have over 30 years experience. To read more, please click here.
If you have questions and concerns about acupuncture treatment, we offer a free 20-minute phone session: click here for contact information to call or e-mail us.

They are releasing a new single feat. Susanne Sundfor this Thursday and it is called "Running To The Sea". It already debuted on Norwegian TV last week and it sounds really good.
Besides, they told that they were hoping to release a new single at the end of 2012 and a new album in 2013. Single comes now and the album in 3-4 months I guess.

Aeroacoustics analysis of turbofan inlets |
Thursday, 06 September 2007 05:35 |
Officially, acoustics is the science of sound creation and transmission, but in many ways, acoustics is more like an art or engineering. The creation of sound involves a complex interaction of shapes, materials, and energy. We are far from having reliable formulas that can capture the behavior of real-life structures. That's one of the reasons the New York Philharmonic is moving out of the modern, but acoustically unsatisfying, Avery Fisher Hall, and back to the hundred year old Carnegie Hall whose structure adds a glowing warmth and richness to performances. Often the only way to improve the acoustic behavior of a structure is through trial and error. Of course, it's not really possible to build a symphony hall over and over til you get it right. But these days, you can almost do that on a powerful computer, and get reliable results. The art of acoustic modeling requires the careful study and simulation of the materials, shapes, interactions and stresses of a complex physical system. A well designed model will allow an engineer to tinker with any part of the system.Acoustic modeling can also help when there are sounds you don't want to hear. The problem of suppressing undesirable sound is familiar to anyone who's flown in an aircraft. But the biggest complaints come from people who live on the ground, near airports. Noise complaints kept the Concorde from flying anywhere but over the ocean; new noise regulations enacted in Europe mean that aircraft designers must control the noise emitted from their planes, or lose their markets. Especially when landing, most of the noise from an aircract comes from the rotating turbomachinery blades, rather than the engine, which is slowing down. One of the peculiar properties of this noise is that it is "discrete", that is, it is concentrated in certain frequencies, almost like a musical instrument in which a few keys have been pressed. Conventional methods of noise suppression are better at handling broad band noise, that is spread out evenly over many frequencies. The things that engineers would like to examine include changes to the shapes of the fan inlet, the fuselage and the wing. It's really not possible to do experiments on a jet engine in flight, and even doing wind-tunnel experiments is costly, and not completely realistic. You can fit the engine in, but the acoustic behavior will not be correctly modeled because the engine, the wing and the entire aircraft interact to create the sound. Unfortunately, the roar of the engine will actually get the wind tunnel itself vibrating, and this will change the overall results as well. Of course, none of these problems occur in a computer model. With sufficient care, it is possible to simulate the behavior of an entire aircraft in flight over any kind of landscape. And if necessary, any part of the aircraft can be reshaped by changing a few lines of computer code, rather than by cutting and welding steel. Computer simulation can go through vast numbers of experiments, leaving wind tunnel tests to the end, when the most suitable candidates have been identified. Thus, by conducting experiments through computer simulations, Hussaini and his research group can reduce the cost of traditional experiments, and find good solutions to the problem of aircraft noise.

Fedup, again you seem to be not saying what you really want to say. Tell me if I have this right: You have no problem with gay folks going to the JOP and getting "civil unioned" and having all the legal benefits of "churchy union" that straight people enjoy, but if we call it marriage like we call a tissue a "kleenex" and a carbonated soft drink a "coke" you're gonna have a conniption.
Listen Fedup, I apologize for getting a little snarky. It's a terible habit that I'd like to change, but I don't understand. You're using the same arguments against gay "insert term other than marriage here" that people used against ending slavery, letting women vote, and letting black folks use the same bathrooms as white folks. What's the argument? "I am better than they are. They are not as good as me. God likes me better."
Want to know something crazy. Gay people give me the creeps. I don't understand it and homosexuality in general gives me the heebie jeebies. But LOTS of things creep me out...
1. stupid people
2. defensive people
3. arrogant people
4. overly religious people
5. obese people
6. overly pierced people
7. overly tattooed people

WINTHROP – Anything this obscenely fat is bound to draw stares, especially in the Methow Valley, where it sometimes seems as though everything from the people (ultra active) to the skis (Nordic) are skinny.
I could feel the stares as soon as we unloaded our bikes at the Big Valley trailhead about seven miles west of town.
We were heading out on the Methow Valley Sport Trails Association trails on fat bikes, the latest fad in cycling and snow sports.
Fat bikes are essentially mountain bikes with low-pressure, motorcycle-size tires that allow riders to pedal over compacted snow.
"Remember when you were a kid and you got a Big Wheel and you felt like you were invincible, like you could go anywhere?" said James DeSalvo, the association's executive director. "That's what you feel like when you are on a fat bike. You just bounce over curbs and pot holes and keep going."
I understood what DeSalvo meant as soon as the four-inch wide tires on my rented orange Salsa Mukluk hit the snow. I'd never consider this on my mountain bike, but now I felt like I was floating over the snow.
Clearly we looked as interesting as I felt, because less than a mile down the groomed trail I felt the looks again. Two couples from Seattle out for a hike couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Want to give it a try?" said Kristen Smith, the association's marketing director. At first they politely declined, but wanted to know more about the bikes. After awhile, Smith offered again. This time the husbands hopped on while their wives took pictures.
When they pedaled back a few minutes later, all four posed for pictures with the funny looking bikes.
"One of the guys at the bike shop says riding a fat bike right now is almost like getting your 15 minutes of fame," DeSalvo said. "Heads are turning. People stop you to ask questions. For those few minutes you get to be a hero."
"Hero" might be a little strong. You might look a little different, but the truth is this sport is quite easy.
"Whether you're athletic or unathletic, if you can ride a bike, you can ride a fat bike," DeSalvo said.
My riding partners on this unseasonably warm (about 30 degrees) morning should definitely be classified as athletic. Smith, Ed Stockard and Joe Brown all enjoy logging miles on their fat bikes.
Brown, co-owner of Methow Valley Cycle and Sport worked with the trails group to get the trail system open to fat bikes on a trial basis this winter.
He rents four bikes from his shop and says he's ordering more because he having trouble keeping up with demand. The bikes sell for $1,700 or more.
When the bikes are returned, he says almost every customer raves about the experience.
"Your brain tells you it's going to be one thing, then you realize you're floating on top of the trail," Brown said. "It's pretty cool.
"… One thing I hear a lot from people who ski is that it's really fun to have a different experience on the same medium."
Brown compares the fat tires to "those big squishy go-anywhere tires you see on tundra trucks in National Geographic," and says they work well on almost any surface. Snow is most popular, but they travel over sand and rocky surfaces too.
The low tire pressure (10 pounds or less compared to about 60 psi on a mountain bike or 100 or more on a road bike) negates the need for a suspension system. Riders recommend playing with the tire pressure a bit until you find the best ride.
"If in doubt, let air out," said Steven Mitchell, perhaps the valley's most experienced snow rider.
Fat bikes might just now be catching on, but Mitchell has been riding on snow for 25 years.
In 1987, while he worked at a Seattle bike shop, he read an article about the Iditabike, an Alaskan bike race that followed a portion of the famous route used for the Iditarod dog sled race.
The next year he showed up with a standard mountain bike ski rigged with a ski. He needed 55 hours to cover the 200-mile course.
"But the fire was lit," said Mitchell, who owns Winthrop's Rocking Horse Bakery. "It was my first experience in the true wilderness without a sole around. I saw the northern lights. It wasn't like a race. It was a real adventure."
Mitchell ended up moving to Alaska and even organized the race in 1990 while continuing to participate.
Each year he and the riders got more and more innovative with their bikes, trying to make them travel better over the snow.
Mounting skis to the bike didn't seem to work. Huge knobby tires didn't work as well as ones with shallower tread.
Some started welding rims together to use wider tires only to learn the tires would come loose when the air pressure was super low. So, they started gluing the tires to the rims.
In 1991, Mitchell dropped his time to 26 hours by using a bike that had two rims welded together in the front and three in the back.
"We all learned from trial and error," he said. "We all thought we were pioneers, but really, everybody who lived in northern climates was probably doing the same thing if they wanted to ride on the snow."
Mitchell doesn't expect the sport to become as popular as mountain biking (although you could argue that it's form of that sport), but he expects it to carve out its niche in the cycling and snow sports industries. "This fad may be less fad and more reality."
Not everybody is excited to share the Methow Valley's beloved Nordic trails with fat bikes.
Letters have been written to the association and the local newspaper. The primary concerns are safety and trail damage.
Some believe fat bikes go too fast to safely interact with skiers. Others believe the bikes will leave unsightly tracks on the neatly groomed trail and make the going tougher for skiers.
These concerns are why the trail group plans to evaluate fat bike usage at the end of this season.
So far, the organization likes what it sees.
As I discovered pedaling through Big Valley, the bikes aren't as fast as you might think. The wide, low-pressure tires result in considerably more surface contact than other bikes causing the fat bikes to go slower.
"They are somewhere in between the speed of a classic skier and a skate skier," DeSalvo said.
And as for safety, the bike seems to handle just as well on the groomed trails as they do on dry surfaces.
"With the disc brakes you have infinitely more control than a skier," Brown said.
On warm days when trails are too soft, bikes aren't allowed.
I found out why when Smith and I headed to Pearrygin Lake State Park, about four miles outside of Winthrop, for an afternoon ride. The trails here aren't part of the association's system, so fat bikes are welcome even when they aren't permitted in other places.
At least, they're welcome to try.
We made it about 100 feet up the trail before I sank up to my crank and toppled over. After another 100 feet or so we gave up and I pedaled back into town to swap the bike for a pair of skis.
"But when conditions are good they really don't do any more damage to the trails than other users," DeSalvo said.
The next morning, I decided to check this out for myself by heading out for a 4 a.m. grooming shift with trails manager Rob Seckinger.
Just before 5 a.m. the lights from the groomer caught a set of tracks left by knobby fat bike tires. Beside them, clearly deeper, were the impressions left by skate skiers.
"The bikers weren't even supposed to be on the trail yesterday because it was so warm," Seckinger said. "And they still left less tracks than the skaters."
The association is reminded constantly that it is on the front end of the fat biking fad.
Bike shops as far away as Wyoming have contacted Brown. Nordic trail systems in Sun Valley, Idaho, and Bend, Ore., have checked in with the Methow group, DeSalvo said.
"They're saying people really want them to open their trails for fat bikes," DeSalvo said. "So they're picking our brains and wanting to know how it's going here."
So far, so good, DeSalvo said, although the association won't officially call this pilot program a success until the spring when the season is over and input is collected from the community.
"I think it can be the next big thing here," DeSalvo said.
Seckinger sees the Methow Valley carving out a reputation that could make it synonymous with fat biking.
"Like snowboarding at Mount Baker," Seckinger said, referring to the first U.S. ski area to allow snowboarding.
"It is a lot of fun," he said. "I hope it is here to stay."
So, why are these go-anywhere bikes with oversize tires called fat bikes and not fat-tire bikes? After all, it's not the bike that's fat. Simple, says Methow Cycle and Sport co-owner Joe Brown, it's to avoid confusion. Mountain bikes came first and their tires have long been called fat tires. So, now when you head to your bike shop you can peruse the fat tire bikes and the fat bike tires.
Nothing confusing about that.
Fat bikes have tires twice as big as the largest mountain bike tires, with super low tire pressure allowing them to travel on surfaces such as sand and snow. The Methow Valley Sport Trails Association opened this season about 20 percent of its 200-kilometer trail system to fat bikes on a trial basis.
Access: Ride for free in Big Valley or for $22 per person (17 and younger are free) on other association trails. A Discovery Pass ($10 per vehicle per day, or $30 for the year) is good for access to the trails at Pearrygin Lake State Park, less than 4 miles outside of Winthrop.
Rent: A small number of fat bikes are available for rent at Methow Valley Cycle and Sport in Winthrop. Bikes rent for $35 for four hours or $45 for the day. Reservations are recommended. For more info visit methowcyclesport.com.
Buy: Expect to pay $1,700 or more for a fat bike, says Joe Brown, owner of Methow Cycle and Sport.
How to dress: You'll want to dress in layers for your fat bike ride. A wind resistant skull cap that covers your ears can be worn under your helmet. Standard winter snow boots work fine on the rental bikes which are equipped with platform pedals. Gloves are also recommended.
Keep playing: When you're done biking there are plenty of other ways to play in the Methow Valley. For starters, you'll find an outdoor ice rink, a gym, 200 kilometers of Nordic ski trails, a biathlon range and the Loup Loup Ski Area.

Frank, that''s just being greedy
Think of the children. Or me. jcmonty, I believe PPM sum is supported. I will be using this adaptor, as I have the parts to make one myself. http://store.diydrones.com/ProductDe...ctCode=BR-PPME PWM to SBUS, I have not found any other ones that the Futaba offering. Although the protocol seems easy enough for a smart fellow to make one. I think the reason someone has not already made an alternative one is that the Futaba one is reasonably priced. Got links to the discussion that it is not 100%? |
Oct 05, 2012, 05:43 PM | |
Here's the relevant thread discussing issues with the Futaba SBE-1 converter: http://forum.autoquad.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=951
Bottom line is that 2 people (including myself) have reported a "signal loss" issue with certain channel/position combinations, and no one has chimed in with contrary findings. There's a chance that both of us share some other setup issue which caused this, but that doesn't seem very likely (we're using different radios and even different signal inverters, also I have tried this with 2 different Rx, 2.4GHz and 72MHz). Would be very interesting to know if a different S.Bus encoder would work. But test carefully on the ground, and maybe have a backup plan as well. PPM does work nicely in the latest code, although at the moment there isn't an official release of the compiled firmware yet with working PPM support. But you can compile your own or ask someone on the forums to do it for you., and hopefully a new pre-compiled version is coming up soon since there have been some other good updates in the last couple weeks. -Max |

There's no "official" recommendation on a PPM encoder, but Steve (Kisssys), who helped fix the PPM implementation code, uses this one, so that seems like a good bet.
http://store.diydrones.com/product_p/br-ppme.htm Same one from a UK shop: http://www.buildyourowndrone.co.uk/8...p/ppm-e8ch.htm Theoretically any encoder which works with other MR controllers should be fine. -Max |

The setup for my DX7 was probably the easiest part of the AQ learning curve. You just have to select 10 bit or leave it at the default 11 bit and the system will work. First you must have linked the Tx to the spectrum satellite by temporally connecting the satellite to a spectrum rx. Then just plug the spectrum satellite into the board. The channels will show up in the GCS but you will still need to set the Tx so the flight mode switches work the way you want. The AQ is likely the best autopilot for multicopter photography but currently not a good choice for someone inexperienced with multicopter autopilots. |

That's a good reason for me to jump in now, messy wirings is a thing of the past, it doesn't belong here. |
Oct 06, 2012, 04:21 AM | |
We're currently preparing to roll out the second (and last) part of the beta.
- lot's of bug fixes and feature updates in the latest firmware - more polished versions of the Groundstations for Android and Windows, Linux & Mac - Wiki updates to create a more streamline process for testers - implementation of upcoming advanced features like L1+DCA Still a lot going on in the background like the integration of the daughter board (i.e. Gumstix) for yet unseen AP/AV features on MRs. So stay tuned... |

"isn't there some way to possibly send up some kind of very strong weather balloon or something like this and attach high density camera's to these balloons to study these lights ? other than launching a missle which only gives us such a limited time frame to study these effects and retrieve more information on this field ? I am not sure of the available materials that could be used to get up to the 5 miles up into this lower atmosphere where these lights seam to appear to generate from but if something like a high tech weather balloon could possibly even be attached to some kind of a high tech wire even to keep it stationary ? since these lights seam to be to low in our atmosphere to monitor or study with a satelite since this has to be too high to study these lights ? just an idea?

What is a "raw vegan" or a "raw fooder"? A raw vegan is someone who eats only raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds–none of which are ever heated above 105f (40.6 celcius). More than just carrot sticks and salads, raw food is a movement about eating living foods and living well! Raw food recipes include pastas, cakes, cookies, and chips... all made from real, living food.
When you start reading about raw food, you'll immediately notice people talking about Vitamix blenders, Excalibur dehydrators, fancy juicers, and julienne/spirooli slicers.
Raw food appliances – What's necessary and what isn't
Do not be alarmed! You do not need all of these things right away!
Arguably, you will never need all of these things.
Just relax and take it slow.
The very first step toward becoming a raw fooder is to get inspired. Unless you're excited about raw food, you're not going to make it!
So get excited and inspired by raw food. For some people it might be the concept of weight loss that's inspiring. For others, inspiration might be in terms of anti-aging, the healthful benefits, or simply just living a lifestyle that feels right.
For me, a bit of weight loss was definitely in order, but the most important thing for me was in terms of energy boost.
Whatever the reason, get inspired!
The next step is to get yourself one really good book that hopefully combines a bit of education (but not too much because I find yammering on about nutrition and protein pretty boring!) and some really good basic recipes. I started with "Uncooking with Raw Rose: Your Guide to Raw Foods" which must be a good book because it has been the only book I've bought so far! It explains pretty much everything you need to know in just enough detail. Plus, it's got probably sixty easy recipes in it.
In terms of kitchen appliances, when I first jumped into raw food I had very few kitchen appliances:
I owned normal dishes and utensils, had a fridge and a stove, and I owned a $30 blender.
That's pretty much it.
I am still using my really crappy $30 blender and it's working fine for me.
I know that the motor will die eventually, and when it does I'll buy a Vitamix.
Edit: Although I must admit now that I've been raw for two months now, my old, cheap blender is driving me crazy. The most irritating thing has been its lack of power when making cakes and things in the blender, and, worse than that, my blender is small compared to a vitamix. So often I make two batches of green smoothies instead of one big batch. Very annoying! Vitamix, here I come...
After a week on raw food, I began getting tired of salads and smoothies. I wanted a way to really blend my food so that I could make chocolate truffles and that kind of thing. I was able to make trufflesin the blender, but it took a long time and was difficult to clean.
After two weeks, I made my first raw food appliance purchase: a food processor. I bought it at my local hardware store. It was low-end and it cost me approximately $50. Why did I buy a food processor first? Well, it was pretty cheap and allowed me to do so much more than what I was doing before.
I am a pretty frugal (read: cheap!) person so I make a lot of decisions based on price. I wouldn't order a food processor online. I'd just buy one locally because they are easy to find.
The food processor was awesome. It really changed my eating habits. I found the food processor most beneficial because it allowed me to:
- slice and grate my food. For example, I could easily and quickly slice beets and carrots for use in salads. Serving the vegetables in a different way really changes the flavours and textures. (Trust me.);
- make larger batches of things that I could kind-of make in the blender, such as chocolate truffles;
- make recipes like humous, veggie pate, carrot cake, etc. I couldn't make these in my cheap blender because the blender was too small and didn't blend everything properly.
I was totally happy with just the food processor (and a coffee grinder) for about two months.
Around the same time that I bought the food processor I bought a coffee grinder.
Coffee grinders are used to grind small nuts or seeds. For example, flax seeds. Flax seeds are extremely useful in raw food recipes. They become kind of gelatinous and are used to bind food together. For example, in cookie recipes or veggie burger recipes.
The reason that you want to buy a coffee grinder in addition to a blender and/or a food processor is because flax seeds, for example, are TINY! And they are difficult--if not impossible--to properly grind unless they're in something like a coffee grinder.
After two months, I was getting bored with my staple foods and recipes. It was time to get into dehydrating!
Yes, yes, real raw food people want the Excalibur dehydrators.
Excalibur is the undisputed champion in the raw food dehydrating world.
Most people get the 9-tray Excalibur dehydrator.
BUT, being as cheap as I am, I scoured the internet and bought a cheaper 8-tray version on eBay, called the VegiKiln. It was half the price!
Edit: I ordered my VegiKiln dehydrator online. It arrived, and the fan doesn't work so I can't use it! I am trying to get this resolved with the seller right now. Kinda wish I hadn't cheaped out and wish I had just got the Excalibur... Doh!
Just like any hobby or lifestyle, there are many fun and addictive accessories that one can spend money on. I try to really limit my spending on my raw food lifestyle.
A lot of people buy:
- juicers;
- slicers;
- fancy measuring cups;
- fancy storage containers;
- and who knows what else.
The one thing that I realllllllllllllly want is a julienne/spirooli slicerso that I can make "noodles" out of zucchinni etc. I haven't splurged on one of these, but I'm sure I will soon.
The best recommendation I can give in terms of buying raw food appliances is to start slowly. When you start day-dreaming about a juicer or a Vitamix or a dehydrator and are getting frustrated, it's probably time to get one.
Be raw!
Top voted
It's a small world - the very first raw-food book I bought was also Uncooking with Raw Rose.
I already had a food-processor, coffee-grinder, and Vitamix, and have since added a great juicer, an Excalibur dehydrator, and (just a few weeks ago) a spiralizer (my husband LOVED the zucchini-pasta that first night!)
So I'd say your list is bang-on.

Hey dudes, dudettes.
I have a question, and I don't really have anywhere or anyone to ask so I signed up here on the forums of some of my favourite artists to ask. I hope you don't mind my noob question and the fact that I have 1 post. I am still a person~
Anyway, strange and unnecessary assurances that I'm a person aside, I've been listening to so much psybient music and as I've been happily drifting in the astral planes I sometimes wonder if I could weave these sonic tapestries (stole this imagery from somewhere, can't remember where..) myself. But I wonder:
1) Am I disadvantaged without a musical background? I spent the vast majority of my youth doing lots of drugs and getting tinnitus (I'm serious). Unsurprisingly I didn't pick up many skills during that time. I'm 22 now.
2) How do I start? There are a million different music production suites and their instruction manuals are labyrinthine. Is there a 'go-to' piece of software for artists in psybient/downtempo music?
I have a bad laptop and a lot of free time. What's next?

Fast, and stablePros: - Fast Cons: - Got warm, but welcome to fast moving parts Other Thoughts: I bought an SSD shortly before purchasing this drive. I was amazed at how similar the speeds were. The prices were about the same and this drive had over 4 times the capacity of the SSD. It's a fantastic piece of hardware if you don't want to take the plunge into the world of SSDs. Did you find this review helpful? |
It's fast for being a mechanical drivePros: Bought this drive to put into my son's machine. Worked so well just bought another to build my new computer with. It's the best bang for the buck drive I have found. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
It worksPros: Very very fast for a conventional drive. I use as a storage drive. Hasnt failed or made any wierd noises yet. Price was right Cons: A little noisy, but not nearly enough to be annoying Other Thoughts: Good storage drive for a gaming rig. I use it paired with a 120gb ssd boot drive. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pair with a good SSDPros: Fastest HDD out there. it is a beauty and honestly can be as good as a SSD if you are on a budget. BUT I highly recommend buying this with a solid SSD to make a good pairing. doing so keeps cost low for space and maximize use on a SSD Cons: isnt a SSD but a strong HDD 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Pros: good reliable fast drives ive used around 60 of these in cad workstations and servers haven't had one die yet on me... Cons: none Other Thoughts: Bacon... 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Don't call it old, call it a classicPros: Even with the newer generation VR drives making this one expensive for the speed/capacity, it's been a great drive for someone who wants speed in a larger capacity format for cheap. You can buy multiples of this drive for the cost of a comparative capacity SSD. The drive runs cool, and is near silent. I secure erased this drive with a 7-pass algorithm with it sitting on my desk (no enclosure) and I had to listen for it before I could determine that it was indeed crunching away. Cons: Sadly, time and tech wait for no one, and this drive is starting to show its age. It's still a great HDD for a budget minded gamer who doesn't want to jump into SSD's yet, but unless Western Digital makes changes to the VR drives such as a hybrid drive, the day of the raptor being the best HDD may be coming soon, Other Thoughts: I've owned two of the 150GB variants, this drive, and two if the 1TB models. Among them I have right at 100,000 hours of operational time, and there hasn't been a single problem yet. This is why when it comes to hard drives, I buy nothing but Western Digital. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Working Great after 3 MonthsPros: No problems. Just ran and passed extended WD disk test. Cons: None 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
WDC does it AGAIN...Pros: this drive is perfect. great MB/s transfer rate. Cons: on sale.... cant ask for more. <130 Other Thoughts: price to performance go ssd 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Dead after 3 monthsPros: Fast drive while it worked. It was used in a web server that served basic content files over an intranet. Cons: After 3 months, Event Viewer was flooded with drive errors claiming bad sectors. Thankfully, we added a new drive and moved the data, 2 days later it died. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good ProductPros: Decent drive. Using it as a backup to a SSD. Haven't gotten much of a chance to mess around with the clock speeds on it to see how fast it loads date compared to a SSD. Have no complaints with the set up of the drive and WD has never failed me before! Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Coolmaster HAF X Case Did you find this review helpful? |

Front Load Washer/Dryer VS French Door Refridgerator
17 comments:
I have the LG front loader and I LOVE IT! I would suggest the front loader if you have a laundry room or your washer/dryer nook is large enough to leave the washer door ajar so it can dry out before shutting the door (my washer never gets the chance to dry out bless it's heart!)I have never had a problem with mold or leaking. Several of my gf's have the same washer and have never had leaks either. I also have a french door fridge and love the space is provides, you will love the double drawer. I don't know how to choose between the washer and the fridge....they are both killer! But if I am forced to choose...I would get the fridge first and the washer second. You will love them both!
ReplyDeleteI just bought several appliances because we bought an old victorian and are renovating.....SO....knowing that...the fridge is beautiful...and it looks pretty...blah blah blah.....however, I would go with the practical...the washing machine...I have a front loader similar to this and I love it. She's almost 10 years old and she's still working like a champ.....You have GREAT taste and I do love the fridge however I would wait... you KNOW there will be something more spectacular and technologically superior in a few months that will take your breath away and go with your tasteful kitchen. I vote for the washer girl.... LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog....please check out mine when you get a chance... you are a featured blogger! LOVE LOVE LOVE you!
http://mamaison-denise.blogspot.com/We want to get a new stackable washer and dryer but I have also heard horror stories about leaks and mold with the front loading washers. Also, that is tucked away in your laundry room but the fridge will be displayed for everyone?!? I am torn, they are both so pretty. I am curious to see which one you would choose... I would do the fridge personally only because of the mixed reviews on the washer.
ReplyDeleteBy far, the french door refrigerator. I had a front loading washing and hated it. Unless you leave the door open after every load, you will get mold and it will start to smell. I have two small children and a small laundry room so I couldn't leave the door open. I got rid of it and got a top loader and have been happy and mold free ever since.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousNovember 30, 2010 at 10:38 AM
i have both and i like them both. the thing i don't like about the fridge is that everything in the freezer gets stacked up so i forget what i have in the bottom of the freezer. its annoying. and i leave my door open for the washer and have had no problems at all.
ReplyDelete I have a Samsung French-door Fridge and Maytag Epic Z washer and dryer. My opinion would be to go with the washer and dryer, without a doubt.
We've had them for about a year and I cannot imagine life before them! No problems with leaking or mold (the door to the washer just needs to be left open when not running). They're so easy to load and empty, and they do an amazing job on our clothes while using half the water. I feel like they've already paid for themselves with our savings on water, electricity, and soap (I'm probably a little too optimistic here, but we had an awful pair before our upgrade.) I love them... if there was a housefire I would be lugging them out the door. ;)I had the French double door fridge in my last house (& when we sold it the purchasers offered us extra $ to keep it so we sold it - as we hadn't sold our previous fridge), and I still miss it!! Especially at Xmas time. The room they have for storage is fantastic, and we used the water dispenser too. Not to mention they look gorgeous! (Can one say that about a fridge) We're getting another one with our kitchen reno; it worked it's charm on us! :)
ReplyDelete- Cody wilsonNovember 30, 2010 at 4:45 PM
I own a very similar version of the washer and dryer. I love them. It is nice if you have space to keep the washer door open for a while after each load so it can dry out. I've never had any problems. The fridge is next on my list..
ReplyDelete - AnonymousNovember 30, 2010 at 8:05 PM
I'm a huge food person so I definitely vote for the fridge! Except I must admit that I am not a fan of the freezer drawers. It's really hard to see what you have in there....just my opinion

text: Home Culture Has George Zimmerman Won the Media War? A year after he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, the defendant's press blitz is paying off. By: Edward Wyckoff Williams Posted: Feb. 27 2013 12:13 AM 0 George Zimmerman (Getty Images) (The Root) -- Tuesday, Feb. 26, marked the one-year anniversary of the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old, self-appointed neighborhood-watch captain, who now awaits trial for murder in the second degree. Trayvon would have celebrated his 18th birthday this month. A Million Hoodie March was organized in New York City this week in remembrance. The teen, whose untimely death sparked a national debate about racial profiling and the meaning of self-defense, was once described by a teacher as an "A and B student who majored in cheerfulness." According to official reports, Trayvon walked to 7-Eleven to buy Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea before returning to a gated community in Sanford, Fla., where he was visiting his father. Zimmerman called 911 upon seeing Trayvon, claiming the boy was "suspicious" and looked "like he's on drugs." Zimmerman followed the teenager; a confrontation ensued and Trayvon was shot to death. What appeared to have been a prima facie case became blurry when Sanford police released Zimmerman without charge -- accepting his assertion of self-defense under Florida's "Stand your ground" law. However, after widespread media focus and a federal investigation, the special prosecutor concluded that Trayvon was racially profiled, aggressively pursued and murdered. Zimmerman's criminal background didn't help his claim of innocence. Reports emerged that Zimmerman had been arrested for assaulting a police officer and had a history of domestic violence. After being charged with Trayvon's murder and released on bond, Zimmerman was detained again when prosecutors discovered that he and his wife, Shellie, lied under oath during his bond hearing. The picture began to fit the crime. After a few months, Zimmerman gave his first televised interview, in which he said his shooting of Trayvon was "God's plan" -- an insensitive choice of words. This followed a racially tinged interview with Zimmerman's father in which he attacked President Obama and civil rights activists like the Rev. Al Sharpton for inciting "hatred." In the months that followed, the Zimmerman team embarked on a media tour. Robert Zimmerman Jr., George's older brother, has emerged as the family spokesperson. The move to try the case in the public sphere appears to be a deliberate strategy designed by Mark O'Mara, George's media-savvy defense attorney. Robert, who is tempered and articulate, has appeared on CNN with Piers Morgan, HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher, Fox's Good Morning Los Angeles and Univision, the Spanish-language channel. Robert has offered several interviews to local Florida networks and conducted an exclusive talk sponsored by the Orlando chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. The purpose of the media blitz has been to reframe George Zimmerman as a likable guy who embraces his partial Hispanic heritage -- and somehow could not possibly be racist. Robert made a point of telling Maher that their mother is of "Afro-Peruvian" descent, and in his interview with Univision's Jorge Ramos, he went so far as to accuse Trayvon supporters and the mainstream press of paddling a racist narrative. "Racism is a very lucrative sport in this country," Robert said. "A lot of people make lots of money ... accusing others of racism, without even proving it."

Big thanks to the generous guys at iForce and Bald Anus for sending me a tub of hemavol to try! After getting in a few workouts, I can now safely say I have a good feel for the product and what it does and does not do.
iForce HEMAVOL
Let me start off by saying I am a huge fan of tart drinks. I honestly enjoy drinking bulk citrulline malate, and hemavol did not disappoint. People say the taste of preworkouts is irrelevant, and while I agree ALMOST wholeheartedly, there is a part of me that craves a refreshing drink to get me going for my workout. And Hemavol delivers. Very tart, very tasty lemonade.
Mixed just fine...towards the end of the cup there were some undissolved specks...I'm assuming the GMS. This is unavoidable so no issue.
I'll let you guys be the judge on this one. Personally, I think it's fantastic for what it seeks to achieve, which is stimulant-free energy (mb12) and endurance/pumps (everything else ). Those who know me know that I detest Glycerol Monostearate, as it dehydrates me and has no positive effects outside of cosmetics. Well, the dose of GMS in this product was not enough to give me side effects, so no issue there.
IN-CREDIBLE. I've taken a lot of pump products. To put it in perspective, this feels something like a hefty dose of nitrates AND agmatine, which is to date the strongest pump combo I have ever used. Hemavol is giving it a run for its money though, and the fact that it is stimulant free is a huge plus for me because it allow an awesome flexibility of dosing. I was honestly getting pumps on my "core" exercises for 5/3/1 which is very odd...deadlifts seriously gave me a major forearm pump and increase bicep hardness (I found the latter effect odd, but it's just that noticeable).
The second best effect from Hemavol IMO. Did it alter my weight shifted on heavy, low rep sets? Not really. But in the 10-20 rep range on leg day, and lunges in particular, I noticed a fantastic increase in endurance. Breathing was easier, and I passed my previous PR with such ease that I questioned my form before realizing that I was doing it just fine.
I respond very well to methylcobalamin, and Hemavol was no exception. Was it the energy you'd expect from a stimulant-based preworkout? No. Did I feel a rapid onset? No. But I had a steady stream of positive energy throughout the workout, which is all you can ask of a product that isn't even specifically geared towards stimulant-free energy.
This was the one area I felt was lacking. I'm a stimulant/nootropic junkie so obviously I missed my focus ingredients, but this was easily remedied by adding 1g ALCAR with my Hemavol, which produced some fantastic workouts. Regardless, this product is stimulant-free and I don't believe focus was a major goal when this was formulated.
I can't fault Hemavol for not giving me MINDBLOWING FOCUS because nowhere in the writeup does it advertise this. What it does advertise is MINDBLOWING PUMPS...and that is exactly what I got. The product is superb, and the dosing flexibility makes it a done deal for me. Add 1 scoop to your favorite stimmed preworkout and you will still reap all the benefits!

text: Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We've been planning our move to Placencia, Maya Beach actually, and we decided to do some shopping in Mexico before we go. The thing is Belize charges an exit fee, and then we have to pay duty on whatever we bring back, so we decided to make the trip to Mexico worth it by staying and playing there for a few days. We stayed four nights at the Occidental Grand Xcaret. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and it was all inclusive, but they charged for a lot for the internet (internet not included in the all-inclusive), also they didn't offer room service. That among a few other things made this place a turn off. We will never stay there again, and I suggest you don't go there either. The taxi driver on the way to the Occidental was telling us about the guy who owns that place. He owns the Xcaret Park, as well as Xel-Ha and Xplore. The taxi driver told us the guy pays his employees of the park a mere 80 pesos a day. That's about $6 US a day! Plus he charges the locals the same amount that he charges everyone else. This guy owns a chain of resorts and Eco parks, and we saw a lot of people at Xcaret and Xel-Ha, so I know he's not hurting for money. Yet he can't offer free Wi-Fi, or pay his people a decent amount of money. He can't do like the Monterey Bay Aquarium and offer free admission to the locals twice a year? Anyway, the parks were beautiful, but I won't be staying at the resort again. I would go to Xel-Ha again. The snorkeling there was fantastic! Oh, and when coming back from Mexico, we got charged an exit fee there too! I had no idea they did that. I don't recall paying an exit fee last time, but I did fly out, so I wonder if it's only for people exiting by land. Well at least we didn't have to pay duty on anything we bought when we got back into Belize. The lady at customs just took a quick look in our bags and let us go. All in all it was a worthwhile trip.
