Madejski Stadium
Saturday 23rd January 2010 @12:45pm Kick-Off
Attendance: 12,910
A makeshift team of Clarets put in a woeful performance at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday giving Reading a thoroughly deserved 1-0 victory and a place in the FA Cup 5th Round. It had looked like a pretty dismal and scrappy game, especially in the first half was heading for a replay at Turf Moor before Glyfi Sigurdsson popped up to score in the 87th minute.
The defeat leaves new manager Brian Laws still looking for his first win after only his second game in charge and he will need to ensure they put in a much better performance on Tuesday night if we are to stand any chance of beating our new arch-rivals, Owen Coyle`s Bolton at the Reebok.
Too many of our players just did not seem up for this game and in stark contrast to our excellent performance at Old Trafford not only did we not take our chances but we hardly main any either. We just could not control the ball for toffee and lost possession time and time again. Reading looked a poor side in all honesty and you could see why they are third from bottom in the Championship but we made them look good. There was no doubt too that they had more hunger to win this game and claim another Premier League scalp after sensationally knocking out Liverpool in the third round replay at Anfield.
Oh well at least the Clarets can now focus on their main priority, to survive in the top flight and they won`t now be distracted by any Wembley dreams.
The Clarets Team Sheet
The biggest problem for Laws turned out to be the left back position. Jordan pulled up with a hamstring injury in training on Friday and was out of contention. Kalvenes would have been the obvious player to replace him but he was on paternity leave with his wife expecting a baby anytime soon. It is understood Easton is currently being developed into a left sided midfielder and it was thought he would lack pace and experience at left back so Laws made a surprise choice with Chris McCann taking on the role. This was the first game in the first team for McCann since damaging both his cruciate and medial ligaments in the home game against Sunderland back in September last year.
Captain, Steven Caldwell is still struggling with a persistent groin strain so once more was sidelined for this game.
Clarke Carlisle though was deemed fit to play after his side injury but he had to be content with a place on the bench with Laws keeping faith with both Duff and Edgar in the centre of defence after their good performance against Manchester United at Old Trafford last week.
Laws also decided to take no risks with striker, Steven Fletcher who hobbled off with an ankle injury at Old Trafford in the first half last week. Although the injury was not serious, it was decided to rest him ready for the crucial clash against Bolton at the Reebok on Tuesday night. Portsmouth have so far refused to give permission for loan striker, David Nugent to play in the FA Cup for the Clarets so he too missed out and unless a loan extension can be sorted out by the 26th January he will have played his last game for the Clarets and will return to Fratton Park.
Both strikers, Martin Paterson (torn cartilage) and Jay Rodriguez (broken ankle) have now recovered from their long-term injuries and along with McCann played their first competitive game since September in midweek for the Reserves away to Hull Reserves. Laws though decided not to adopt a 4-4-2 formation and played Thompson alone up front but both returning strikers were rewarded with a place on the bench.
The Clarets therefore played a five men midfield and there was a first start for Gudjonsson since the game away to Spurs in September. The team line-up was therefore as follows:
Jensen, Mears, Duff, Edgar, McCann, Alexander, Eagles, Gudjonsson, McDonald, Elliott, Thompson
Subs: Penny, Carlisle, Easton, Guerrero, Blake, Paterson, Rodriguez
the Full Match Report
The lack of atmosphere at the Madejski Stadium for this game was in stark contrast to the Play-Offs Semi final second leg we played here last season. Reading have fallen on hard times since then. Their home form has been particularly worrying with just two league wins in 12 months; form which this season has seen them slide into the Championship relegation zone. Our win in the play-offs saw the demise of their manager at the time, Steve Coppell and his replacement, Brendan Rogers has also since faced the axe leaving by mutual consent only last month. Reading`s performance and progress in the FA Cup could be enough for the Reading board to give caretaker manager, Brian McDermott the job permanently but they will also probably have to see some improvement in the Royals league form and position before making a decision.
The Reading team line-up contained just two names from the side we beat 2-0 in last season`s play-offs victory with only Church and Gunnarsson surviving the upheaval at the club.
Essex referee, Andy D`Urso was the referee in charge for this game although this looks to have been a last minute change with Chester referee Mike Jones originally scheduled to referee the match.
Burnley lined up in their Claret & Blue home strip facing Reading in their blue and white hoops.
It has to be said this is probably going to be the shortest first-half report I have ever written because to be honest the first 45 minutes was a shocker with little action. A few half-chances went begging with Jensen marginally more active than his counterpart Federici but this was a scrappy affair. Thompson never got any service and was totally ineffective and I don`t think he even had a shot on target or even off-target, only Eagles for the Clarets seemed to be showing some desire.
Chris McCann also looked out of his depth at left back and it was not a good return for him after such a long layoff. Looking uncomfortable it was no surprise when he eventually picked up a yellow card for a poor challenge.
Reading had more possession in the first half but couldn`t make it count with Rasiak and Sigurdsson looking the most dangerous although to be honest all their attempts were either off target or easily stopped by Jensen.
It was a relief for both sets of fans when the referee brought this first dire 45 minutes to a close.
Brian Laws made one change for the start of the second half, something which Coyle hardly ever seemed to do, no matter how badly we played. Thompson was replaced by Paterson and for a time the second half suddenly burst into action with the Clarets having their best spell and at long last stepping up a gear and looking like a Premier League outfit. Reading also responded and the game suddenly became free-flowing and end-to-end although sadly this was not going to last for long.
It was the Royals who got the first real chance to break the deadlock. Rasiak deftly flicked the ball to Church who let rip with a shot. Jensen had to jump high and dive to his right to save.
Alexander had an attempt on goal after being set-up to shoot by Elliott but the ball skidded wide of target. Laws had decided to switch Eagles and Elliott over on the wings probably more to protect Eagles who had already been yellow carded and was having a tetchy day with Andy Griffin upsetting him on a number of occasions.
Our best chance to take the lead though came on 58 minutes after some nice approach work between Mears and Eagles on the right. Gudjonsson got a flick on the ball from Eagles cross to the near post only to see the alert Reading keeper save well.
The Icelandic international though was lucky not to then give away a penalty at the other end after a challenge on McAnuff. Some referees would have had no hesitation awarding a spot kick for that but thankfully for the Clarets Andy D'Urso was not one of them!
A cross from Bertrand a few seconds later found Sigurdsson who was right in front of goal but Clarets fans could breathe a sigh of relief as somehow he put his header wide.
Federici on 75 minutes came to Reading`s rescue twice. Burnley had charged quickly up field on the break with the ball eventually falling to McDonald. His shot though was saved by the Royals keeper after diving low to his right to give the Clarets a rare corner. Edgar from the resulting corner got in a powerful header but again a superb save by Federici denied the Clarets taking the lead. The ball fell to Paterson but he could only shoot over the top of the bar and the score stubbornly remained goalless.
The Clarets play though now seemed to stall with Reading beginning to look the more threatening and have more of the possession. Jensen denied both Mills and Long with headed attempts on goal but with three minutes to play the Royals got the lead they deserved. A pass from Griffin allowed Sigurdsson to charge forward and get the better of McDonald. Jensen had no chance saving his powerful low shot to put Reading 1-0 up. There was no way back from this for the Clarets despite five minutes of added time and the final whistle went leaving Laws scratching his head still looking for his first win after a very poor performance by the Clarets.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I really like the Body shops products and this Christmas I decided to buy a few presents from their web site. Like many retailers they were offering big discounts and so I decided to treat myself after buying the required presents for friends and family!
I love the Body shop body butters and have now tried quite a few in the range. I do like fruity scents and so opted to try the pink grapefruit body butter as it sounded good! The body butter comes in an attractive plastic tub with screw top lid. The top of the lid has an attractive, close up picture of a grapefruit. The 200ml tub normally retails at an expensive £13, but it is often on offer and I paid a fraction of this cost after various discounts had been applied.
The information on the tub tells me that this body butter contains fairtrade cocoa butter in addition to shea butter both of which are good moisturisers. It is recommended that you use this body butter on warm, slightly damp skin for the best results. I like to use it after my bath, before I go to bed. I really like the thick, creamy texture of this body butter and find it absorbs quickly into my skin. I like to use a generous amount and massage into my skin concentrating on dry areas such as my elbows .
As promised this body butter has a gorgeous fruity scent! It is not too overwhelming but the scent does last well. After use my skin feels soft and hydrated. I have used the Body shop body butters in the summer when my skin feels tight after being in the sun. I find they work well to stop my skin drying out.
Overall I would definitely recommend this body butter, especially if like me you like fruity scents.
The Body Shop body butters are my ultimate pampering product and if I could only buy one more thing for the rest of my lift I think it would be them. I have loved them for years and I love that they come in so many different fragrances to match my mood.
The pink grapefruit body butter is the one that I reach for when I want something that will perk me up and make me feel more invigorated. I love using it in winter because even though the weather outside may be dark and cold the pink grapefruit body butter makes me feel pampered and reminds me of summer.
The butter is so thick and luxurious and I always feel so pampered after using it. It is made with cocoa butter so you know it is going to be really moisturising. This is amazing on dry skin as it really hydrates it deeply and cares for it. After using my skin is so soft and smooth and silky to the touch. It is quite heavy so I prefer using it at night as it gives it time to properly soak deep down into my skin while I'm asleep and in the morning I wake up with the softest skin.
It is the smell of this that I really love though. All the body butters moisturise well that is a given but what attracts me to this particular one is the smell. For some reason I am never drawn to pink grapefruit in the summer though it is ideal for summer because it is a very refreshing scent but I much prefer wearing it in winter as there is something about the smell which just puts me in a good mood and I like it when it is dark and wet outside.
The smell lingers on my skin for hours after using the butter and it is such a nice smell that is fruity but there is some bitterness too so it isn't too sweet. It is just a really lovely and uplifting smell and I love it.
I am a big fan of the Body Shop Pink Grapefruit range. I use the shower gel daily and over the summer, when my skin needs more moisture due to sun exposure (still waiting this year though thanks to the weather!!) I love using the Pink Grapefruit Body Butter.
The moisturiser really is like butter in texture although thankfully not as greasy! It's not a lightweight moisturiser and is definitely best applied after showering, but it is excellent for post sunbathing (with sun protection obviously!) skin rehydration.
It comes in a handy screw lid pot and is available in a 200ml size which retails at £13.00 - so not the cheapest moisturiser but a pot that size lasts a long time. I'm fortunate to live near an outlet so get my Body Shop products discounted. If you don't live near an outlet keep an eye out for the regular offers and sales The Body Shop runs.
A lovely fresh smelling rich body body moisturiser I would recommend to anyone who likes skin care with a refreshing scent.
I really like body butters but they are something that I can only use at certain times as otherwise they just feel too heavy and clogging on my skin. I like to use them in winter when my skin is feeling really dry as they are really good at putting some moisture back in my skin.
The fragrances that they come in also makes them a real treat product and it is nice to put aside some me time and have a pamper day and use them after giving my body a good exfoliation.
My favourite is the Pink Grapefruit one but to be honest all the body butters are just as good as each other and it is just a personal preference on which fragrance that you like the best. I like the pink grapefruit best because I really like the smell of it and think that it is refreshing and it isn't too sweet either.
The body butter does resemble butter that has gone to room temperature. It feels really thick and luxurious and I just get my fingers in the tub and scoop out a decent amount and then rub it into my body.
The butter sort of melts when it comes into contact with my skin and makes it easier to rub it all over. It is very thick but it rubs in well and my skin absorbs it nicely. When I think my skin is feeling dry this really help to put moisture back in it and leave it feeling soft and supple again. I am not so keen on using body butters when it is summer though as I just find them a little bit heavy for my skin and I prefer to use something lighter. It doesn't make my skin greasy but I can feel that I am wearing something.
The Pink Grapefruit body butter is fantastic and I love using it as a treat product but I wouldn't use it as my main moisturiser as I think it is too heavy for this but for times when my skin is in need of some extra tlc then this is hard to beat. It also smells amazing and it is lovely to layer the the products in the range and smell of it all day long.
It is quite an expensive product but as an occasional treat then I don't think it is too expensive and I also think that you can tell that it isn't the usual cheap high street moisturiser from how it feels and smells.
This costs £5 for a small 50ml tub and £13 for a larger 200ml tub from The Body Shop.
The Body Shop pink grapefruit body butter
I have been a huge fan of The Body Shop and all its lovely products for years and years now. In particular I think that the body butters are the best all over body moisturisers out there and I have been using various scented body butters for as long as I can remember. There are a few scents that I love more than others and the pink grapefruit body butter is my absolute favourite body moisturiser! It is a scent that I keep on returning too time and time again. It just smells yummy and fresh.
The Body Shop say: "This rich and creamy Body Butter is a feast for the skin. It melts straight in to leave skin feeling soft and smooth. It contains Community Fair Trade cocoa butter and has a zingy grapefruit scent."
And Zingy grapefruit scent the body butter has in spades. On opening the tub of body butter the first thing that you can't help but notice is the lovely and strong fragrance of pink grapefruit. But if you don't like pink grapefruit then it really might be best to stay away because the Body Shop have spared no expense in making a strong and mostly natural fruity fragrance. Granted the smell is a little on the sweet side of grapefruit, but in my opinion I don't find it sickly or overly sweet, it still has that tart grapefruit element that makes it a favourite of mine, it is an absolutely yummy smell and I love it. I would highly recommend the Body Shop pink grapefruit body butter based on the smell alone.
The body butter as you might expect is really thick and the texture does somewhat resemble butter (maybe more like margarine). It is really easy to apply and I tend to be quite heavy handed when applying it. Personally, I find that the body butter is great to use after a bath or shower. In the summer I like to pop the body butter in the fridge, it makes it even nicer to apply to hot skin and stops it from going overly soft in the heat, not that I have had that problem at the moment in this never ending winter. As I mentioned the body butter is really thick so it can take quite a while to properly sink into your skin so in my experience don't apply this if you are in a hurry to get dressed. If you have tried any of the other Body Shop body butters then the pink grapefruit body butter is no different apart from the lovely pale pink colour.
After I apply the body butter I do notice that the smell does linger on my skin for quite a while after it begins to sink in, but the smell does become less noticeable quite quickly. But of all the Body Shop butters I have tried I can usually smell the pink grapefruit scent for probably the longest.
The Body Shop claim that the body butter provides 24 hour hydration and I would have to agree, I can still feel this moisturiser hours after applying it. I have never quite checked 24 hours exactly but it does keep my skin lovely and soft. The Body Shop also recommend the pink grapefruit body butter for normal to dry skin and having skin that I would probably classify as 'normal' the body butter does leave my skin in a lovely condition and with constant use it does help alleviate any drier areas. When I was pregnant it was a lovely and fresh body butter that helped my poor stretched belly feel lots better and helped the stretched skin feel softer and smoother. If only it could help get rid of stretch marks...
A whole tub of the body butter can last me a couple of months but with more constant daily use, especially in the summer when I have been in the sun a lot I can use all the body butter up within a month. However, unfortunately this moisturiser doesn't come cheap and retails at full price for £13. But, I often bulk buy items from The Body Shop when they are in the sale making them far cheaper and more affordable. I have also found that The Body Shop body butters make great gifts or look lovely in gift sets.
Overall, I really love this product. The body butter is great at keeping my skin moisturised while smelling lovely. Personally, I highly recommend The Body Shop's pink grapefruit body butter, it is a lovely and memorable scent that I have bought time and time again and I am sure will continue to do so. It's my absolute favourite. If you love pink grapefruit then I can't imagine that you wouldn't love the Body Shop pink grapefruit body butter.
Five out of five stars.
I personally love body shop brand of body butters, they are one of the best on the market in my opinion. There are wide range of flavours to choose from; tangerine, passion fruit, mango and strawberry; which is just naming a few. The use of body butters is to help moisturise the skin and to leave the skin nice and soft. I decided to buy the pink grapefruit flavour, mainly because the packaging made it look very appealing.
I purchased a 50ml sized tub from my local Body Shop for around £4.50, which is quite expensive for body butter, but the quality in my opinion makes it worth every penny. There are larger sizes and smaller sizes available as well, depending on preference; however 50ml usually is more than enough to last me a while.
The butter comes enclosed in a round tub that has a nice radiant pink colour design that makes it stand out from the rest. The container has a very simple lid that is removed by unscrewing in a circular motion.
The tub a pretty image on the lid of a juicy looking pink grapefruit, that makes the product look very attractive and inviting. The tub clearly shows the body shop logo, as well as showing an informational sticker detailing ingredients and other product details.
The butter itself is a beautiful light pink colour and looks good enough to eat! (Obviously this is not recommended). The butter actually looked and reminded me of looking into a good quality fruit flavoured yoghurt pot, it looked very creamy and smooth.
One of the best aspects of this body butter is it smell, it is such a gorgeous smell. It has a nice fruity smell that send the senses wild, the fragrance is not too over powering either it is just the right strength that has a great combination of sweet and fruity aroma.
When applying the body butter, I was very happy with how easy it was to apply and absorb into my skin. It makes my skin feel nice and soft and smell lovely, and the great thing about this is that the aroma and the positive effects on my skin lasts for quite a while; usually a good two or three hours. I personally found best results when apply this after having a shower, when the skin is dried applying this makes the skin feel nice a cool and fresh.
Like most body butter this can be a little greasy, however it is best to apply small clumps at a time to prevent the hands from getting too greasy. I also was very happy to find that I didn't need loads to rub into the skin, as only a small hand full can easily spread a long way. This is great as it means that the 50ml tub is more than enough and easily lasts me quite a while.
Overall this is a great body butter, coming from the Body Shop brand you can't really expect anything less than a great quality butter that not only leaves your skin nice and smooth, but also has a divine smell. It is long lasting, and is very easily absorbed into the skin. The hefty price tag is in my opinion worth it considering the quality of the product, and therefore it is recommendable.
I have tried every body butter from the Body Shop now, I think. One of the nicest ones I've used has been their Pink Grapefruit Body Butter. I actually bought this myself (I usually wait to receive Body Butters as gifts as they are quite expensive). I had a £5 gift voucher from Glamour magazine, however, and I used this to get money off the normal £13 it would have cost me for the body butter. I consider Body Shop body butters to be one of life's essentials, rather than one of life's luxuries. They are do cost a lot of money, but they are very much worth the price, I always think.
This lovely body butter comes in the familiar rounded shaped plastic tub with the twist off lid. It's made from Fairtrade cocoa butter but it's been infused with some wonderful fresh pink grapefruit. The colour of this body butter is what I'd describe as a light peach / pink. It's not pure white and it is thick in consistency, like all the Body Shop body butters. Though it's thick (like whipped cream), it is amazingly light in texture and rather than having to rub it into my dry parched skin, it just sort of melts all on its own. I hardly have to do any rubbing at all.
The smell is really gorgeous, light fresh and delicately perfumed. The fragrance lasts for ages on my skin after application. It makes such a huge difference to the look and feel of my skin and I always use a Body Shop butter after every bath or shower. It works so quickly at eradicating dry scaly patches and it sinks in and dries off almost instantly, leaving no greasy residue. This means I am able to get dressed pretty much as soon as I've applied it.
One (large) tub costs £13 though there is a smaller size available. A large tub will last me ages as I only need to use a small amount, as it seems to go such a long way. The Pink Grapefruit body butter is one I like to use during the sunny summer months rather than during winter. It really makes my skin feel and smell so fresh and alive and it's a real pleasure to use.
Highly recommended.
It was my birthday last month and I received a huge haul of gorgeous fragranced gifts. One of the gifts that I received was a large stash of Pink Grapefruit fragranced products from the Body Shop, which included this pink grapefruit body butter. I always used to use the pink grapefruit soap from The Body Shop years ago, and I absolutely loved it. I've not used it for a long time now, in fact I can't even remember why I stopped using it, nor have I used any other Body Shop pink grapefruit products either, so I was interested to see if they still smelled exactly as I remembered the soap used to smell.
The pink grapefruit body butter that I received was the full size tub, at 200ml. A quick look on The Body Shop website tells me that this retails for £13, and that you can also buy a 50ml travel size tub for £5.
The pink grapefruit body butter is a gorgeous pale baby pink colour body butter, and it even comes in a pale baby pink tub too, with a picture of a pink grapefruit on the lid. The body butter comes in a tub with a screw off lid, so it's easy to scoop out a small amount with my fingers to apply to my skin. I do only need a small amount of this as a little bit really does go a long way. It's a very thick and rich and creamy body butter, and so I suspect that if I used to much it would give my skin a slightly greasy feel to it. It's very easily absorbed into my skin, it basically just seems to melt into my skin, and it leaves my skin wonderfully soft and smooth and fragranced with the divine pink grapefruit scent. My skin feels really supple and hydrated all day whenever I use this body butter. The tub states that it's for normal to dry skin, and it's perfect for my pretty normal skin.
The pink grapefruit body butter smells absolutely divine, as soon as I open the tub I can smell the citrussy pink grapefruit fragrance. It's a really natural and refreshing pink grapefruit fragrance, it doesn't smell artificial or synthetic at all. It's a really zesty and refeshing and a real 'wake you up' kind up fragrance and I find it suits me more for use in the morning after a shower rather than in the evening. In the evening I prefer to use a body butter or a body lotion with a more relaxing fragrance. I find that after I've applied the body butter the zingy pink grapefruit fragrance will linger on my skin all day, especially if I've layered it with the pink grapefruit shower gel too, I can still catch the scent of this in the evening after applying it in the morning.
I don't really tend to shop in The Body Shop, as I do think that most of their products are overpriced, I especially think that their body butters are overpriced. However I'm definitely going to be purchasing more of the pink grapefruit body butter for myself as I absolutely love it. We go on holiday in a couple of months and I think that the pink grapefruit range will be perfect to take with me, the body butter included.
Oh and one last thing, it does smell exactly as I remember!
Body butters from the Body Shop are one of life's little luxuries and something I treat myself to on a regular basis as I not only find them pleasurable to use I also find that they are really nourishing for my skin and hydrate it better than normal moisturisers.
One of my all-time favourite ones is the pink grapefruit one as something about it reminds me of the type of scents that I used to wear as a teenager and it evokes really good memories for me. This is slightly more sophisticated than the grapefruit scents that I used to wear but it still has the same sweetness and tang to it.
The body butter is made using Fairtrade cocoa butter that is infused with pink grapefruit. I really like the whole Body Shop ethos and I try and shop in places like this and lush that use more natural ingredients than aren't tested on animals and give farmers in the third world a fair price for their goods.
This butter has a light peach colouring and looks like whipped butter in the tub. It feels so luxurious when you take some out of the tub and it actually melts in to my skin. It is quite heavy so I don't tend to use these during the day but instead save them to have as a treat after a bath with other products to reward myself after a hard day.
It is ultra nourishing on my skin and really hydrates it. When I have applied this and after it has absorbed my skin is left feeling super soft and there is a silky layer to it which doesn't feel greasy but I do wait for a few minutes before putting on clothes just because it does take a little longer to absorb fully due to being so thick and creamy.
This like most of the butters from the Body Shop works wonders on my dry skin such as elbows and knees. It also makes a really nice treat for my feet and also my hands as it is that creamy and moisturising that it doubles up as a lovely hand and foot cream.
I really can't think of any negatives about this one as the scent is lovely and really smells delicate and light on my skin and lasts for hours at a time.
It costs £5 for a small tub and £13 for the larger one. I always buy the smaller tub as I like nearly all the butter available in the Body Shop so like to change which one I use regularly but because I have such a soft spot for this one I do sometimes buy it in the bigger tub too.
I received a lovely looking Pink Grapefruit set from The Body Shop last Christmas, and due to my massive stash of beauty supplies I'm only just getting round to using up the products now! One of the items that was included was this Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Butter which is available exclusively from their high street stores, via home party sales orders, or online at www.thebodyshop.co.uk. It costs £5.00 for a 50ml travel size tub, or £13.00 for a 200ml full size tub.
Product description: "This rich and creamy Body Butter is a feast for the skin. It melts straight in to leave skin feeling soft and smooth. It contains Community Fair Trade cocoa butter and has a zingy grapefruit scent."
The packaging is quite cute with a nice girly pink colour and an image of fresh grapefruit on the top to make it obvious what the scent is and to reinforce the message that Body Shop are keen to make their products with natural ingredients. It comes in a plastic tub with a screw top lid and you have to scoop the lotion out with your fingers. I had the full size 200ml tub which contained quite a large amount of product and was long lasting considering that I used it a lot.
Directions for use: Massage into skin. Be generous! It works even better straight after a bath or shower.
The body butter itself has a light pink colour to it which is attractive, but importantly it does disappear as soon as it's rubbed onto the skin and doesn't leave any visible colour behind. The consistency is very rich and creamy with a lovely smooth feel to it. This does feel quite a lot lighter than some of the body butter products I've used before, and Body Shop recommend it as being suitable for Normal skin types. It is really easy to scoop out of the tub, and it spreads well over my skin to give a good coverage without really needing to rub at it too much. It does take a long time to soak into the skin fully, and leaves a slightly greasy residue behind to coat the skin. I don't mind this too much as I make sure to avoid using it in the morning when I'm in a hurry getting ready and don't want to get it on my clothes, and prefer to use it before bed time when I can get my skin covered in body butter and allow it time to work its magic. The residue left behind might sound like a bad thing, but I think that in this case it is helpful as it forms a barrier to help seal in the moisture and leaves my skin feeling gorgeously soft afterwards.
The Pink Grapefruit fragrance is lovely and fresh and smells very realistic. It has a sharp and zingy edge to it which is quite strong and is noticeable for some time after applying the body butter to my skin. It is fruity and citrusy but a bit different to the more popular orange or lemon fragranced body products, and it seems quite exotic as well as making me feel refreshed.
I have had good results from using this body butter and really like the effect that it gives. I usually tend to reserve body butter for the any difficult areas of rough, dry skin, and it does work well for this apart from I need to apply frequently to notice good results for any bits that need extra attention. I will apply it before bed in the evening, and then I do need to use a quick top-up on my elbows and knees in the morning to keep them in good condition. This body butter actually works really well for keeping most of my skin hydrated, and it is particularly nice to apply all over my legs after I've shaved to help keep them silky smooth and nourished. Because this butter has a lighter consistency I am happy to apply it over my entire body and it provides a good boost of moisturisation. I can get away with applying it just once every other day and it noticeably improved the feel of my skin.
This is an effective, rich and smooth body butter with a gorgeous scent that will be perfectly suited to normal skin types. I can recommend it as long as you have the time to allow it to absorb slowly. I'm looking forward to trying the other items in my gift set and hope they are as nice as this one was. One final point to note is that the labelling on the packaging is printed with different languages, and I have now learned the word "pamplemousse", which is delightfully fun-sounding and cause for amusement every time I opened the tub!
The Body Shop is against animal testing - please keep your beauty cruelty free!
I'm a little bit obsessed with The Body Shop products to the point where my room closely resembles a mini store. More often than not I make my purchases online as the website always has some sort of offer on which makes these slightly expensive items much more affordable. A few weeks ago I did find myself in one of their stores looking at a particularly attractive offer though. Three 200ml pots of body butter for £20. Considering these cost £12.50 each at full price this was an offer not to be sniffed at! The fact I also had a £10 voucher off purchases over £25 and my 'Love Your Body' card which gets me a further 10% off any purchase ensured me I was on for a real bargain here. For my three body butters and a little pot of body scrub to make my basket total up to £25 I ended up paying £13.50 - not bad for £42.50 worth of stuff!
One body butter I had to try was this pink grapefruit one. I love the smell of grapefruits, the shower gel in this range is one of my favourites and I did warm to the idea of layering this scent with the matching body butter. The scent of this butter goes perfectly with my favourite Happy Hippy shower gel from Lush too!
The body butter is contained in a solid plastic circular pale pink tub. The picture on the screw on lid has changed slightly from the one shown by Dooyoo and now displays a whole grapefruit with a silver The Body Shop logo printed smack bag in the middle. Silver writing displays the name of the product around the tub and states this provides 'hydration for normal skin with cold-pressed pink grapefruit seed oil'. There are also various little pictures indicating this (obviously) shouldn't be consumed and should be kept out of reach of children. The design of the pot is nice and it's very practical as the circular shape easily allows access to every last bit of the butter and believe me, you'll really want to get at every last bit!
Unscrewing the lid reveals a pale pink thick body butter. You can tip the tub upside down and the butter will stay perfectly still which is how I like it. Thick body butters offer much more hydration than alternative thin body lotions in my opinion. The tub is full as well. I don't know if you've ever opened a pot of cheaper body butter to find half of it is just empty space but it's rather annoying and I'm always grateful of a full tub!
The scent of this body butter is gorgeous. It's not often I'll slice open an actual grapefruit as I don't like the taste but on the rare occasions that I do I'll always smell it as that scent is just lovely. This body butter is pretty much an exact copy of that scent. It doesn't smell synthetic at all and is just like the real thing. It's very fruity with that added zing which really gets my senses tingling and wakes my skin up. I love applying this after my shower at the gym as the scent is perfect for combating any fatigue I may be feeling.
To apply this I just run three fingers over the top of the butter to pick a little up and rub it into my clean and dry skin. The body butter melts into my skin immediately and my skin has no problems absorbing this. It doesn't leave any part of my body feeling clogged up or greasy and is perfect for those areas such as elbows and knees which usually require a little extra moisture. It leaves my skin soft, smooth, hydrated and smelling divine. The Body Shop claim this hydrates for 24 hours and I would completely agree with that, I can easily go a day with no moisturiser once this has been applied as my skin just looks and feels better - less thirsty. That grapefruit scent lingers on my body for hours after hours too. I can just be sat watching tv or on my laptop and just be surrounded by that smell even though it's been a while since I applied the butter.
This delicious scent is easy to layer too with The Body Shop selling soap, body lotion, shower gel, body mist, body scrub, lip butter, beautifying oil and hand cleanse gel all sharing this exact same scent. A couple of the above products along with this body butter will ensure you smell as good as you look all day. And if you don't fancy a full 200ml tub you can even buy this in a smaller 50ml pot costing a purse friendly £5.
My mum recently treated me to some nice Body Shop products she bought in a little branch inside the hospital my baby was in. She bought me Pink Grapefruit Body Scrub (previously reviewed), Pink Grapefruit Body Butter and shower gel. This review is about the Body Butter which I love.
The Packaging
The Pink Grapefruit Body Butter comes in a little pink plastic tub with a screw top lid which shows The Body Shop logo, all the other relevant information such as ingredients is on a peelable label under the bar code. The packaging is pretty and very in keeping with the fragrance.
Pink Grapefruit Body Butter.
The body butter is a pretty pink colour and smells gorgeous, its instantly recognisable by its fruity fragrance. Its not overpowering its quite a light smell which is lovely and fresh and smells just like real fruit, there's nothing chemical or artificial about it at all. The texture of the butter is really smooth and creamy, it feels nice and rich and its easy to scoop it out.
Price and Availability
As this is a Body Shop product I haven't seen it for sale anywhere other than The Body Shop on the high street or www.thebodyshop.co.uk, but you may find it cropping up on ebay or Amazon. A 200ml tub of the body butter will set you back £12.50 where as a 50ml tub is £5.00 making the larger tubs better value. At full price I think the body butter is quite expensive but if you look online The Body Shop quite often have some good sales on so that would be an ideal time to buy.
My Opinion
I am a big fan of The Body Shops Body Butter and pink grapefruit is no exception, I apply it after my bath or shower at night and my skin feels lovely. The fragrance lasts well and I can often still smell it faintly by morning. I always use this at night because in my opinion it doesn't soak in very quickly. It tends to leave my skin feeling slightly sticky for a while but the results are so good its worth putting up with slightly sticky skin for a while. I couldn't use the in the mornings before getting dressed as waiting for it to soak right in would be a problem.
I really recommend the Pink Grapefruit Body Butter the fragrance is just so fresh and zesty and it leaves my skin incredibly soft, in my personal opinion using this is one of the nicest ways to moisturise. It may be a bit costly and takes time to soak right in but my skin certainly feels better for using it. If you like fruity fragrances then this is well worth a try.
I get very dry skin on my elbows and knees, and having tried the cheaper moisturisers, I decided that it was time to invest in a more expensive one. Several of my friends recommended the body shop for skin care. What I thought was great, was that they had a tester for each scent, so you could really get a feel for it. When I bought mine, if you spent over £10 you got a free lipgloss, which was even better. I chose grapefruit, simply because it smelt the most like what it was meant to. It went onto my skin really smoothly, and was so good at its job. Not only did I smell great, but my dry skin was pretty much gone after a week. I now use it before I go out for the evening, as a sort of perfume. I've also tried a few of the other scents, but this is by far the best!
I bought a selection of items from The Body Shop's pink grapefruit range this summer, and I shall now review the body butter. For me, body butters are the signature product from The Body Shop. It is what they are known best for, they have a huge range of different scented body butters, and almost everyone I knew has used them before. I therefore had very high expectations from this product.
The body butter is packaged in a pink tub with a twist on lid. It has a picture of a grapefruit on the front, and you need to peel off the label with the barcode on the bottom in order to see the ingredients. I'm unsure why they do this really- it does save space and enables them to translate information into many different languages. However if you are browsing in one of their shops and want to view the ingredients, perhaps to check if it contains an ingredient that you are allergic to, or just to see what ingredients you would be putting on your skin, then you are likely to annoy the assistants by peeling the labels off!
The natural ingredients in this product are shea butter, cococa butter, and pink grapefruit seed oil. As with the other products in this range, the pink grapefruit seed oil gives this butter a gloriously natural scent. There is nothing synthetic about it whatsoever, and it is a beautifully uplifting zingy scent. More importantly, the scent really does linger on my skin for hours after application. Personally I find this a good thing, as I enjoy the scent and like being able to smell it throughout the day. However, it is worth baring this in mind if you prefer to be able to smell your perfume, as the butter is quite strongly scented, and so has the potential to clash with a perfume.
The downside of this scent is that it is a very summery scent. As I said, I bought this in the summer, and really enjoyed using it during the warmer months. It was also great at helping me to wake up in the mornings. However now that winter is approaching, I am finding that this scent simply doesn't fit the season. While I still definitely need help waking up in the morning, I just feel this scent is not best suited to chilly winter mornings, and it has become a bit of a chore trying to use it up. I would suggest purchasing this during warmer summer months, and also making sure you finish it up before the dark, cold winter mornings start to roll round!
Aside from the scent, I think part of why I don't enjoy using this product in the winter is that it is so cold to apply to my skin. The mornings are so chilly at the moment that I really don't enjoy smothering my legs with cold butter and than hanging about for ages waiting for it to sink in enough for me to get dressed! The packaging suggests this is designed for normal skin. My legs tend to get pretty dry, and yet I find the butter is not easily absorbed and feels very sticky and greasy to the touch for quite some time. However by the following day, they will be feeling dry and flakey again, so it seems that the moisture the butter injects is not very long lasting.
This body butter from The Body Shop retails at £12.50 for a 200ml tub, which in my humble opinion, is extremely overpriced. Yes it smells very nice, but it takes an age to sink in and leaves me feeling sticky and greasy. In addition it does not offer long-lasting moisturisation, so all things considered I feel this is definitely not worth the hefty price tag. I think I paid around £5 for this when it was on special offer, and the website (www.bodyshop.co.uk) frequently has special offers on the body butters- in recent months I've seen them for half price, a free body butter when you spend £26, and also at present you get a free scrub when you buy a body butter. The shops also frequently have them on half price or buy 2 for £15, so I would strongly recommend you bide your time and wait for a special offer as this product is simply not worth the price tag.
In summary, if you like zingy, fresh, awakening fruity scents, then you will probably like the smell of this body butter. I'm disappointed with the length of time taken to absorb into my skin, and I also don't like how greasy and sticky it leaves me feeling. However this may just be because I have dry skin, and the butter does deserve some credit for having a lovely and natural scent. However I would suggest only using it in the warm summer months, and definitely waiting for a sale or special offer before purchasing!
Thanks for reading :)
If you have read any of my other reviews recently you may have noticed that I Really Really like the Bodyshops Pink Grapefruit range, well this body butter is no exception.
Priced at £12.50 for a large 200ml tub it may seem a bit pricy but a little goes along way, also I bought mine when there was a 50% off sale (the bodyshop do regular sales and special offers so I keep a look out for my favourite).
The plastic tub is a bright pink colour with a srewtop lid making the contents completly secure even when travelling, the top of the tub has a picture of freshly cut pink grapefruits with the Bodyshop logo in the centre.
On opening the tub the pale baby pink colour of the butter looks lovely and smells good enough to eat, very citrusy with just a little hint of sweet.
The butter is under the range for normal skin on the Bodyshop website and I would say that this is just right for normal skin, some body butters can be too rich and creamy for my normal to combination skin but this applies easily, absorbs very quickly and leaves my skin soft and smooth with no oily sticky residue.
The smell lasts on the skin for a long time and is especially good when layered with the other products in the range.
The body butter is also available in a small 50ml tub priced at £5.00, this size is handy to keep in your handbag or for taking on holiday.
As someone who used to avoid body butters as I found most to greasy for my skin type, I have to say I have been converted with this range.
The butter is also very good for a rich intensive moisturising treatment for your hands.
Let your skin feel revived with the fresh fruity smell of pink grapefruit /

Politician shocks with statements on rape, pregnancy and abortion.
Image: via ShutterstockUS politician and senate candidate Richard Mourdock has stirred a hornet's nest of opinion with his statements on abortion, including that "...I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.", according to Huffington Post.Mourdock later attempted to suggest that he'd been quoted out of context, and that he was being incorrectly vilified, but his statement is pretty clear: If you become pregnant as a result of rape, then God intended that pregnancy. Which, by default, would indicate that God had a hand in allowing that rape to happen in the first place.Reproductive rightsHis statement not only diminishes the experiences of rape survivors, especially those who become pregnant as a result, but is insulting to both believers and non-believers. In the abortion debate, women have been consistently bulldozered when it comes to reproductive rights. Todd Akin, another US politician was recently lambasted for coining the phrase "legitimate rape"- when he suggested that women can't get pregnant from a legitimate rape, as they have ways of shutting their bodies down. It has reccently been discovered that Akin was arrested several times at anti-abortion rallies in the 80s.That's in the US, but here in South Africa, women also face an uphill battle when it comes to their reproductive rights. Abortion remains stigmatised in many communities, and, when rape is commonplace, there are girls and women who are faced with this terrible decision every day: Do I abort this baby, the product of a rape, or do I carry it to term and either raise it or give it up for adoption?" A choice made much harder when the adoption system is already struggling with capacity issues.What about God?While it's important to respect the views of religious and areligious people in political debate, when it comes to the issue of reproductive rights, politics and religion seem to have an ongoing clash.We'd like to know: Does God have a place in a debate about the abortion of a pregnancy as a result of rape?

Carfin (Scottish Gaelic: An Càrn Fionn, meaning the White Cairn) is a small suburb to the north-east of Motherwell, Scotland on the road to Newarthill.
Local facilities[edit]
The closest secondary school is Taylor High School in nearby New Stevenston. Since this is a Roman Catholic school, the nearest Nondenominational secondary school is Brannock High School in Newarthill.
Carfin has strong Irish Catholic links, this is present in Carfin Grotto a famous pilgrimage place, with extensive gardens and a visitors centre/cafe. This was built in the early 1920s, when Parish Priest, Canon Thomas Nimmo Taylor engage the unemployed miners of the village to build a shrine to Our Lady of Lourdes, allowing people in Scotland to worship the Blessed Virgin without having to travel to France to do so. There are many places of worship in Carfin. A church hall is present and a small mosque for Muslims, which in 2006 was moved to a bigger Mosque near Mossend, Bellshill. A community church met in the community centre but due to an increase in attendance has moved to a larger community centre in Craigneuk, Wishaw.
The nearest public house is The Hibernian Social and Recreation Club (The Hibs Club) 200 metres away to the Newarthill side. Half a mile in the opposite direction is the Carfin Vaults.
The Bell Quadrant is the main shopping area in Carfin. It contains several famous retailers such as Greggs, Farmfoods, Betfred and a Tesco Express. Opposite this site is a Lidl store.
The outskirts of Carfin do offer some interest, with a private golf club/rugby fields/driving range complex situated between Carfin & Holytown. Carfin is also next-door to the new settlement of Ravenscraig, currently under construction.
Carfin doesn't have many sports facilities of note, with nearby Brannock and Taylor High Schools containing both football pitches and athletics tracks. The nearest sports facility is the large Ravenscraig Sports Centre.
The golf course, named after Sam Torrance (Torrance Park), was funded by former Rangers chairman David Murray. It has never been finished.
At the 2001 census, Carfin had a population of 1,048 residents.[1]
Carfin railway station provides the hub for transport to Glasgow, with the local bus stops providing easy access to Motherwell and surrounding towns. These services operate a restricted timetable on Sundays. The station lies on the boundary of Carfin and Newarthill.

Der Strom merkt immer, wenn kein Kabel da ist.
- Ohm's 4th law
This page contains some information about the electrical system(s) of my BMW 2V motorcycles. Most topics on this page were written from experiences that I made on my R80GS, and some others relate more to the R100TIC. However, most of it should be applicable to all BMW "airheads" - 2V boxer engines - from the /7 era onwards.
The usual disclaimer: I did these things with my own bikes and on my own risk, so if you repeat this with your bike, you do it obviously on your own risk.
Technical note: Most of this was previously on the R80GS page on this website, but due to the amount of material that page was getting too slow to load. Early 2007 I decided to spread the material across multiple pages.
When working on the electrical system (except, perhaps, for changing a light bulb), there is one golden rule: The ground cable of the battery is always the first cable you disconnect and it is always the very last cable you re-connect. To paraphrase with the greek alphabet - it is the Alpha and the Omega.
Why? Well, in almost all cases the negative pole of the battery ("ground", although this term is not physically correct here) is connected to the frame, the engine block and the like. In other words, any metallic part of the bike is connected to battery ground.
Now, imagine you want to unscrew the positive pole of the battery while the negative is still connected. Sooner or later in this process, the wrench (which is tightly "clamped" to the positive pole) will accidently touch a part of the frame, a mounting bracket or something similar ... which means, you will have a nice short circuit between battery plus and battery ground! If you are lucky and react fast, you may be able to withdraw the wrench, but there have been reports of wrenches that were first "electrically soldered" to the frame and then melted within a few seconds. I'm pretty sure you would like to avoid that kind of experience ;-)
At this point, you might know that a fully charged battery of 25 Ah can deliver 25 A for one hour, or 250 A for 6 minutes (the starter motor of a BMW boxer can draw up to 130 A). 250 Amperes is quite a big current, and that is why there is such a fat wire between battery and starter.
It seems that my GS "consumes" an alternator about every 50000 to 60000 km.
The first time this happened was in 1993-10, at about 61'000 km. I had stopped somewhere for shopping, then went back to the bike, turned the key and pressed the starter button.
Well ... that was the noise of the starter relay. The battery was too weak to turn the starter motor and in turn to start the engine. Fortunately, I could start by pushing the 220 kg, but the charge control light was smiling at me. Riding to the BMW shop nearby, diagnosis was clear: The alternator winding was open.
Changing it is fairly easy, but the part itself costs a few bucks ... about 150 DM in 1993. This was a re-built exchange part, as the original part was not available within a reasonable delay.
The second time this happened was a only few months later, at about 68000 km. I was in Paris for a weekend, stopped at at little shop to buy something, then went back on the bike and pressed the start button ... "klick-klick".
Bad, very bad for your holidays. Well, what do you do? First of all, get the bike running again. I opted for the run-and-jump method ... of course with a well-loaded bike and bags. I never thought that these bags could hinder me, but if you have to run besides your own bike they are really, really in the way!
Later on I went for troubleshooting. I knew that the battery was not longer charged correctly, but I could not really find out what was wrong and the BMW shops are relatively rare in France. However, I managed to go for several hundreds of kilometers like that until I was home. The important thing is to make sure you use jump start every time, and that you do not consume too much current (during the day I rode with the parking light instead of the headlight to save energy). The problem with all modern bikes is that they are full of electronics and once the battery is empty you are lost. Magnet-induced ignition would be nicer ;-)
I have been searching the source of this problem for several weeks later on. The voltage changed considerably with engine temperature (13.6 V at 4000 rpm when running in 5th gear, dropping to 12.6 V at 4000 rpm with hot engine). The charging light would light up when I turned the ignition on, but would not light up when riding, so everything looked well - but it was sure that the battery was not charged correctly. I checked the voltage regulator, the diodes, but no clue ... no, it couldn't be the alternator winding, that part had been changed just a few months ago ... but then I obtained the electrical values for the alternator winding! It should have a resistance of 3.4 Ohms, but it actually was only 1.2 Ohms. In other words, this was a partial short circuit of the winding! - It turned out that the problem was due to the rebuilt part; I got a new one (partially under warranty) and this time it was the original BMW part for 340 DM (1994).
The really weird thing in this case was that the charge control light would not light up, but the battery would not be charged correctly either - in other words, no warning, but you loose energy. This is a situation when a voltmeter on the bike would have been truly useful ... indeed, a few years later I installed such a device.
As I said, the bike eats up one alternator about every 50...60000 km, so the next rotor was due at about 103900 km (1999-09). This time it was a "nice" failure, with the charging light coming up and the rotor having a real interrupted winding. Nothing special to tell, but it cost me about 320 CHF.
Do this with a cold engine. You will need three "special" tools: a hardened steel rod 6x50 mm, an allen screw M8x30 and ... a hammer. As an alternative to the steel rod/allen screw combination, you may get an M8x100 bolt and turn the "outermost" 50 mm of thread down to a diameter of 6 mm.
(Left) The engine cover removed. (Right) Alternator stator, alternator rotor, rotor holding screw, and the "special tool" to draw the rotor.
If your charging system is OK, you must get a voltage reading of 13.6 V or better above 2000 rpm with the headlight on (!). Not more than 14.5 V. The charging system is supposed to be working from 980 rpm onwards.
Alternator rotor, new, across the contacts: 3.4 Ohm (+- 0.3 Ohm). The part number of the alternator rotor is: BMW 12-31-1-244-642 (Bosch 1-124-033-031), which fits all 2V boxer engines from 1969 to 1994. It seems that there exists a reinforced version (for police bikes etc.) with part number 12-31-4-257-539, but I don't know any details about this.
To control the stator: Measure contacts U, V, W against each other. Reading should be around 0.6 Ohm (less than 1 Ohm in any case). Must be isolated against ground.
You may test the diode board either with a small test lamp or with any Multitester. The wiring diagram for the diode board is shown in your rider's manual and the following picture shows the diode board of my GS at 110'000 km. The device was scanned from the back so that all connectors are visible; the colors were somewhat falsified by the scanner.
Note that the D+ connector has two pins, you can use either of them. Another important thing is that the upper part of the plate connects to battery ground, while the whole lower part is directly connected to the positive pole of the battery (B+). Take care to verify insulation of the rubber parts around the bolts!
The following table shows the values that you should obtain when you test the
diode board (which has of course to be removed from the bike to be measured).
means "open", X
means "conductive".
If you have a diode tester, the connections marked with XX
should show twice the voltage of the X
-rated ones
(yes, there are two diodes in the path).
Please note that some Multitesters inverse the voltage on the test probes
when they are operated as Ohmmeters, so before you conclude that a
diode is defective just inverse the leads and test again.
Positive test lead on | ||||||||
Negative test lead on | B+ | - | XX | X | X | X | O | X |
As a side note: The small diodes are BYW72, the big ones Bosch 1405-0241 and 1406-0241, or 405.426 and 406.424 (three each). Reportedly, these can be replaced by Motorola 1N3660 (cathode to case) and 1N3660R (anode to case), which are rated 100 V and 30 A at 100 °C.
The function and testing of the Bosch-type voltage regulator are described on its own page, also on this site.
A simple 2-LED "voltmeter" to survey the health state of the charging system, also on this site.
It seems that the grey ignition coil of the earlier GS models has a design flaw that causes the coil to crack after some years of usage.
In summer 2001 I found that mine had a crack, too, but I only noticed this in a heavy downpour (what else?), when the engine suddenly stopped. After a few minutes I could start again, arrived home and upon closer investigation I found a fine "line" running along the body of the coil.
I first mistook this for a residue from plastic moulding, but it was indeed a crack, allowing water to enter the coil. With the remaining heat of the engine, the water would evaporate and allow to start again after a few minutes.
This crack (nicely visible in the upper image) caused the secondary (HV) coil to break - I measured "infinite" resistance between connectors 4a and 4b - but the bike would still run without problems for several hundreds of kilometers, if weather was dry! It seems that the high voltage generated was enough to bridge the broken winding inside the coil and all that even without causing excessive heat (not more than hand warm). However, after a few hundred km the idle started to degrade and the replacement coil arrived just in time.
Looking for a spare part I found that BMW had redesigned the ignition coil several times and it seems that the new model is more durable. Price for the new coil was about 190 CHF in summer 2001, but I decided to get a used one. The photo shows the old design (left) side by side with the revised version (right).
Electrical data: For the "old" (gray) coil, resistance between 1 and 15 (primary) should be about 1.1 Ohms, between connector 4a and 4b (secondary) 7.5 ... 9.15 kOhms. The revised version (red) has 0.5 Ohms primary and 12.8 kOhms secondary. Spark plug with cable, 5 kOhm.
The BMW airhead ignition coils have a rather "special" design: the secondary coil is not connected to the primary coil but both ends are free floating. This works pretty well, but it has the disadvantage that the spark on one side jumps from the center electrode to ground and on the other one from ground to center. If one of the spark plugs gets dirty, if draws current off its counterpart.
A solution for this problem is to use the classical construction for ignition coils, where the primary and secondary winding are connected to each other. One such design is the "TwinCoil" from Silent Hektik, which I installed in 2001-09 (111'800 km). It uses one common primary winding and two separate secondary windings, both of which are connected in parallel to the primary coil. In this way, the spark always jumps from the center electrode towards ground. This change brought a better response to the throttle and I have the feeling that the cold starting behaviour has improved, too. - Electrical data (for quick testing): primary 2.1 Ohms, secondary 12.3 kOhms each, cables about 2 kOhms each. I don't know their factory tolerances.
At about 110 Mm, I noticed some unusual noise as the engine fired up. Everything essential was OK, but there was a loud "screetching" noise for about one second when the starter should release the flywheel. I thought that it might have been a lack of grease in the starter, causing it to stay with the flywheel when it should release and decided to disassemble it before things would get worse.
Special tools required: A very short, compact tubular wrench or ratchet 13 mm. If you want to dismantle and grease the gearing, get a "T20" torx screwdriver and silicon grease (see below).
My GS has a "Valeo" starter, type DR6RA-15. It is composed of three main parts: The starter motor itself - big black cylindrical part -, the magnet switch - smaller black cylindrical thing with two big copper contact screws - and the "gearbox", which is the conical aluminium cover that goes over the flywheel.
To inspect the coal brushes, unscrew the two little copper screws on the (big) motor housing and withdraw the "end cap". This part may seem to be stuck, but it isn't - it has a very tight rubber seal and comes off smoothly when you pull gently. The interior should be clean and almost free of dust. - Now, inspect the brushes. On my GS, they were in excellent shape and 2+ cm in length although the bike had gone 110000 km at that time. Nothing to do, so I put it together again.
To grease the starter "gearbox", remove the aluminium cone (three allen keys plus a T20 torx key. Unfortunately you cannot replace the latter with an Allen-head bolt as it has a special threading!). Clean the parts and grease the windings with silicon grease. The BMW manual specifies Bosch PZ2V3; as I did not have this at hand I took temperature-resistant silicon grease from the chemistry lab (Molykote 111). Then, reassemble the parts.
... and that's all. Reassembling goes exactly in the reverse order.
As for those infamous mounting bolts, you may want to replace them with two Allen-head bolts M8 x 45. Reportedly it is even more convenient to swap the two bolts that hold the starter motor with those that attach the bottom of the air filter housing, allowing you to remove both the starter motor and the bottom of the air filter housing much easier ;-)
Reportedly, Valeo starters tend to fail over time due. The most frequent failure seems to be due to "lost magnets". These magnets are part of the starter motor itself and are glued to the outer part of the housing; over time, they may simply fall off (probably due to thermal and/or mechanical stress). Loss of one or two magnets may go unnoticed at first, but the resulting debris may block the starter motor in the most unconvenient moments ;-)
It is well possible to repair such a defective starter (there are several descriptions about this on the web; see the link list at the end of this section), but it is probably more efficient to re-use a complete starter motor from a car junkyard. Valeo starters of the type we need were used in a number of smaller cars, such as Opel Corsa, Astra, Kadett; Renault Clio; Citroën AX, BX and C15; Peugeot 205, 206, 306, 307, 309, 405, etc. Those who live in the USA may want to look for Saturn cars. Do not worry too much about the shape of the cast aluminium cone; the important point is that you ask for a Valeo DR6RA or DR6A. (It seems that the starter of the Renault Laguna is even a true 1:1 replacement for the complete BMW part?) - The part swap is pretty straightforward. On both starters, proceed as follows:

***New Fly Design***
There's been a myriad of contributions from some very talented fly tiers and shutterbugs here on this board lately.
Keeping up with the spirit of intuitiveness, I have spent copious amounts of time, developing a new series of fly patterns you might find helpful. I've also taken into consideration a post that appeared last week about taken photos. Seems that the best way to portray a fly is in its real life natural environment -water. Here is a pic of my new Fluorocarbon Herring Spread Fly photographed underwater. Flourcarbon Herring Spread Fly As you know flourcarbon is expensive. This fly shouldn't be used on angry bluefish. Tying sequence. Varivas 1/0 Hook, mono thread, tie in small amounts of #40 flourcarbon about 6 inches long. Add several strands of Mirage blue flashabou. Several strands of gray Polarflash. Top off with a small bunch of #20 flourcarbon, than some #10 flourcarbon to finish the profile. |

Campus Quality: Good. friendly students. Caring professors.
Scholarships: Financial aid was a lot of work.
Off-Campus Housing: Good and helpful. Nice landlords.
Academics: Does not apply to me, I am an online student in another state.
Academics: Does not apply to me, I am an out-of-state online student.
Drug Safety: I am an online student and am not on campus, so I have no clue to the "drug scene" there.
Overall Experience: Personally it has been filled with rules that are annoying to deal with in a college environment and at times it feels as though I am back in middle school with all the rules and guidelines to follow.
Weather: The weather is a bit bipolar during the winter to spring area. It may be sunshiny one day and then 3 days later it will be snowing with ice on the roads.
Guys & Girls: Some of the students take relationships to the extreme side of conservativeness it can be... annoying at times.
Health & Safety: I haven't heard of an instance where anyone was harmed, attacked, or sexually assaulted on campus. The only instance of violence that occured on campus was a student attempted to attack a police officer with a hammer and was shot and killed.
Off-Campus Housing: The on-campus life sucks compared to the off-campus life because of the freedom that can be gained from leaving campus its also less expensive than living on campus is. The only caveat is you have to be married or 21 if you want to live off campus.
Drug Safety: Its more frowned on than on other campuses, but students do sneak and participate in drinking as well as drugs.
Local Area: The local area is friendly toward students but, is painfully uneventful with very little to do.
Campus Housing: There are alot of options for campus housing with options that are both right next to classes as well as far away from classes but with added amenities.
Campus Food: The food here is good the only issue is that the main (and really the only one on main campus) dining hall closes at 7 or 8pm weekly making it hard to find a late night meal at times.
Scholarships: The school has quite a few inhouse scholarships that most if not all students can apply for that help out alot.
Party Scene: There are hardly any parties available also if you do happen to find one and go to it you could run into issues with the schools strict rules regarding drinking, dancing, and curfew.
Diversity: Racially and ethnically you will find someone from everywhere, but as for politically, religiously, and sexual orientation there is little to no diversity.
Transportation: Not the best, but it will get you around the area if you are trying to get somewhere. Although it is quite hard to get out of the area without a car a friend with a car.
Local Area: Online. Virginia and Arkansas are completely different I would imagine.
Campus Quality: The last school I went to was a community college and you would think that they would try to take care of you but since I have been at LU I have realized the difference between the two by a long shot. Also, University work loads are a lot heavier in case any unsuspecting person didn't know. Not a complaint of mine but there is a difference.
Athletics: Not really sure yet again. Online student.
Diversity: I would not be the best one to ask. Online student.
Campus Food: Online student, but my wife's cooking is pretty good.
Overall Experience: back to the question above. I wish I would have enrolled while I was in the military a year ago so I could have had this change in my life that God has brought about through Liberty U!

cracks hello em here from australia i have just finnished building a 50 inch pompeii oven and am very happy with the finnished product. however i did not use a fire blanked but used 4 inches of vermiculite concrete then chicken wire and and more than 1 1/2 inches of concrete.i left oven to cure for about 2 weeks and then followed the 5 step curing fires as recomended in forno bravo plans . however the out side of my dome has cracked quite badly but the inside brick are perfect.i would like to rerender my dome and am thinking of useing a slip layer any advice for me and how to render a slip layer. thanks em |
Re: cracks "the inside brick are perfect" This is what counts. Cracks on the outside of the dome are common. At one time it was advised to have several layers of heavy duty aluminum foil as a slip layer, although this practice seem to have fallen out of favor. |
Re: cracks thanks neil i am thinking just to rerender over dome with plenty more chicken wire once it has fully dried out there is still plenty of water in the vemiculite |
Re: cracks Hi Em, Because you used vermicrete for your insulation you will have added hundreds of litres of water in the application of this layer (around a third of the volume of vermiculite that you used) To evaporate this much water you need way more than a couple of weeks. Ask yourself how long it would take to boil dry a 44 gallon drum of water. The cracks have occurred because water present in the insulation layer has created steam pressure. Don't be in a hurry to render over the cracks until you are 100% sure the water has been removed.This usually takes about 10 decent firings after the initial curing. If you apply some kind of slip layer, you are also sealing in some of that moisture. I foiled over my vermiculite layer prior to rendering the outside shell. In two places I punctured the foil with quite a few holes and it is in these spots that the oven gets hot on the outside after rainy periods, which is an indication that the vermicrete layer has moisture and steam is finding its way out there.This is a handy indication of what is going on inside but I wouldn't do it again. It slows the drying process too much. Dave |
Re: cracks thanks david. yes i agree totaly with you the other thing i did was to render with concrete two days after i rendered the vemiculite, in the middle of winter.traped all the water in .i think i will render over it in a few mouths time by then should have used it over 10 times regards em |
Re: cracks Yeah, don't stress over it.The outer shell is only to keep out the weather. But should it rain it would be best to cover it because the rain will enter through the cracks. |
Re: cracks I also put a vent in the top of the dome thru the stucco and into the vermicrete layer. This is a 1 in dia vent with a rain cap. I also have four 1 inch vents around the perimeter at the bottom of the insulation layer. During firing after a wet spring, I often see steam coming from the top vent. |
Re: cracks Quote:
Re: cracks venting the insulation intresting, but here where i live we only get 13 inches of rain per year here |
Re: cracks In our wet season we might get that much in one week. |
