3/3/2024 0 Comments Me and before youI just wish they'd left the shoe rack out of shot in a particular scene near the end, as I was too busy looking at the shoes to pay proper attention to the dialogue. Today I want to talk about the bestselling book and just out now movie, Me Before You by Jojo Moyes, and if you haven’t read the book yet then I’d say you should get yourself a copy and read. I also loved Louisa's wardrobe, both her crazier ensembles as well as the more show-stopping stuff, like the red dress. The characters are the best bit about the book, and when an author writes their own screenplay you know the protagonists are in safe hands - although some great casting helped, particularly with the secondary characters (including Charles Dance, Jenna Coleman, Brendan Coyle and Matthew Lewis). Although some of Moyes' straight-out-the-book dialogue felt clunky on screen, I thought, overall, that the film was a really good adaptation. I liked the characters and found them realistic, the story drew me in and the writing style made for an easy read. Although not a particularly fast-paced book, Me Before You was impossibly hard to put down. With very little experience under her belt she struggles to find something new, until an opportunity comes up as a carer to Will Traynor, a (young, rich, attractive) man who has recently been paralysed. Me Before You is the story of Louisa Clark, an up-beat, unambitious twenty-six year old who finds herself un-employed when the cafe she has worked at for six years closes it's doors. But overall I have mixed feelings, mostly because of the ending. The film was a faithful adaptation - not surprising really as Moyes also wrote the screenplay - and I enjoyed it, as I did the book. So I think we can say it was a good read, whatever else it was. Before I went I thought I'd read the book, which I finished in like a day and a half. I'd usually go for something a bit more cheery, but girly films seem to be few and far between nowadays and the trailer looked cute. On Saturday, I went to see Me Before You, an adaptation of JoJo Moyes' prize winning romantic weepie about a young quadriplegic man (Sam Claflin) and his carer (Emilia Clarke). If you fell in love with Lou Clark, find out what she does next in After You and Still Me - out now! And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun teashop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. Will needed Lou as much as she needed him, but will her love be enough to save his life? 'The only book that ever made me cry - I wept so much I thought I might not stop!'

3/3/2024 0 Comments Bias amp 2 tunerI’m seeing upgrade pricing for BIAS FX 2 Pro/Elite, but I’m not seeing the same upgrade pricing reflected in the bundles. To check if the prices you see are already discounted (based on the licenses you currently own), feel free to log out of our website and go back to the store section to see the original price. I own several product licenses, how do I know the upgrade price for me specifically?Īs long as you're logged in, our website will automatically scan for the license(s) you own, and deduct all the prices accordingly. Upgrade discount is applicable for BIAS FX 2 & BIAS AMP 2 in the same generation, BIAS FX 1 upgrade to BIAS FX 2, and crossgrade between BIAS FX 2 and BIAS AMP 2. On top of our regular promotion, we offer an extra 20% off upgrade discount for users with our software licenses. *Please note this article only applies to our desktop software products. (I specifically do *not* mean to go crazy in the power supply! - this recommendation is for output valve cathode bypass caps only.This guide will explain everything you need to know about desktop software upgrades. Not the case anymore, so optimum designs can be made. Golden age amplifiers used very small electrolytic caps because caps were expensive. Something like 470uF or 1000uF should do. I'd recommend a value large enough to be ignorable, that is, so big that it won't add phase shift within or even near the audio range. WRT the cathode resistors and their bypass caps, there's a big difference between bypassing common cathodes in a push-pull stage (where, at lower levels, almost no signal is expected to appear) and bypassing individual cathodes (where all signal appears all the time). The valves' operation is defined by reference to the cathodes, and if 20% of the primary windings are between cathodes and signal ground, and G2's are at signal ground, then 20% of output signal appears from G2 to cathode. Surprisingly enough, the Quad II *is* an "ultra-linear" output circuit. I will look up about the cathose bypass capacitor value tonight, but I'm practically certain it's wrong at 47uF per KT66. You need to consider that this design is nearly 75 years old and that thousands of original examples are still going strong with the original valves. I would personally remove these new cathode circuits and restore the original shared 180R||25uF(50V), making sure to use a 5W resistor, mount it well clear of the choke terminals using the full lead length available, and mount the capacitor over to the right (near the GZ32) against the chassis well away from the resistor. This allows you anything between ~58mA and ~86mA. And Quad stated that the distortion specification holds with valve current mismatches of up to 20%. I don't see where jazbo8 has said anything different, or anybody else, and if they have, they're wrong, by definition. *circuit taken from Keith Snook website with my edits for changes to the bias. So that’s 72mA and 76mA.įirstly, I wonder if I change to 420r that brings it back to 62mA and 65mA which I think is closer the intended Bias value?Īlso, I think this takes the amp out of Ultra Linear mode? Can someone confirm and also maybe offer any pro's & con's which could lead me to understand why it has been changed.Īs I say, go gentle with me, I'm very much at home in low voltage stuff but have very limited experience with beautiful big glowy glass things Resistor is 360r and I have 26.5v and 27.5v on them. My plate voltage is 357v which is a bit high? Think it should be about 330v. Mine have the R & C moved to Pin 8 on the KT66's directly and now live in front of the transformer winding. These are after the transformer winding in the path to gnd in the original. (I know this also can cause the choke to get warm and leak the tar causing choke issues). In the original circuit there is a singe R (known to be underrated) and C which are mounted on the unused choke tags. My main question relates to the relocation of the bias resistor and cap. I've got Russian PIO to go back in place of the orange caps (C2 & C3). I also see that someone has left a signature on the smoother cap body (C4&6)ĭoes anyone recognise the trade mark>? When I opened the amps, I found a few resistors changed (no problem). I was aware that there had been some preventative maint carried out previously when I picked these up. I've done some basic checks before use including the mains selector which required attention and checking the bias. These latest ones are largely original and came with the Quad 22 and FM tuner too. I've just acquired my 3rd set of Quad II amps (sold my chrome ones about 12 years ago for some god only known reason!). 3/3/2024 0 Comments Acoustica premium editionI have been in search for an audio editor with a minimalist UI, streamlined workflow and professional feature set for quite some time now - the wait is over!Īcoustica offers support for state-of-the-art audio resolutions up to 32 bit and sampling rates up to 384 kHz, ensuring that all of your work comes across at the highest quality.

In several other areas, though, Undelete360 is poor or vague. Undelete360 is also portable, so you can run it from a USB stick rather than install it onto a PC. That’s a boon if you want to recover photos from aging desktops or laptops. It also has very modest system requirements, so it can run easily on old or affordable PCs. It’s a 1.94MB download and only needs 15MB of hard disk space once it’s installed, so it’ll fit onto virtually any system. In some areas, Undelete360’s feature set impresses. The paid version of Undelete360 lets you do things like filter and sort the scanned files, preview and check file properties, and wipe files from the device. Files that have been created and deleted by specific applications, deleted in the command line, and erased when the move or cut commands have been used can also be recovered. Undelete360 will also find data on floppy drives, although this feature is probably not going to be widely used in the 2020s.ĭata that has been accidentally deleted, lost to viruses, or discarded from Windows network shares can be recovered with Undelete360. It handles most conventional file types, too, and on the imaging front it’ll handle JPEGs, RAW files, PNG images and many others - ideal for Adobe Lightroom users and professional photographers. It supports hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, digital cameras and other storage mediums that use conventional Windows file systems. Undelete360 ticks most of the boxes when it comes to basic photo and file recovery. Compact and easy to use, but a poor range of features proves restrictive. 3/2/2024 0 Comments Arkansas doppler radar menaAs the train approaches, the sound waves that make up the whistle are compressed making the pitch higher than if the train was stationary. As a train passes your location, you may have noticed the pitch in the train's whistle changing from high to low. You have most likely experienced the "Doppler effect" around trains. This Doppler effect was named after the Austrian physicist, Christian Doppler, who discovered it. The phase of the returning signal typically changes based upon the motion of the raindrops (or bugs, dust, etc.). The ability to detect the "shift in the phase" of the pulse of energy makes the WSR-88D a Doppler radar. The remaining 59 minutes and 53 seconds are spent listening for any returned signals. When the time of all the pulses each hour are totaled (the time the radar is actually transmitting), the radar is "on" for about 7 seconds each hour. The WSR-88D spends the vast amount of time "listening" for returning signals it sent. This process of emitting a signal, listening for any returned signal, then emitting the next signal, takes place very fast, up to around 1300 times each second. These computers analyze the strength of the returned pulse, time it took to travel to the object and back, and phase shift of the pulse. This signal is then sent to a computer system located in a small building at the base of the radome. The reflected signal is then received by the same antenna that sent the signal, during its listening period. A small fraction of that scattered energy is directed back toward the radar. If the energy strikes any object (rain drop, snow, hail, bug, bird, dust, etc), the energy is scattered in all directions (blue). The radar emits a burst of energy (green), from a 28 foot diameter antenna inside the radome (the white, soccer ball covering). The WSR-88D obtains weather information (precipitation and wind) based upon returned energy generated and received at the Radar Data Aquisition (RDA) unit (see animated diagram below). That's about 3 elevations per minute, or one radar image every 20 seconds! What other operational weather radar can do that? How does the radar work? During severe weather, the NWS WSR-88D is looking at 14 different elevations every 5 minutes, generating a radar image of each elevation. Many other radar systems do not have this kind of power, nor can they look at more than one "slice" of the atmosphere. It also allows energy to continue past an initial shower or thunderstorm near the radar, thus seeing additional storms farther away. The WSR-88D is considered by many to be the most powerful radar in the world, transmitting at 750,000 watts (an average light bulb is only 75 watts)! This power enables a beam of energy generated by the radar to travel long distances, and detect many kinds of weather phenomena. The NWS Northern Indiana radar began warning operations on March 17th, 1998. The WSR-88D has also been installed in Puerto Rico and several islands in the Pacific. Since first being built and tested in 1988, it has been installed and used operationally at over 160 locations across the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. The WSR-88D is one of the most powerful and advanced Weather Surveillance Doppler Radar in the world. How does the radar work? Is every thing I see on the images an accurate picture of my weather? What are the different types of radar images? How often are the images updated? What is Clear Air Mode? What is Precipitation Mode? What do the colors mean in the reflectivity products? What is the difference between base and composite reflectivity? What is UTC Time?

Those who have played the original games will notice that many goals were unaltered and new goals were added. They vary from high scores, collectibles and various challenges specific to the stage. You have a two minute run to complete a series of objectives (they can be done in separate runs) in order to proceed to the next level. The main mode, as in the originals, is Career mode where each level will present a series of goals for you to complete. The roster has been updated but there are odd omissions like Bob Burnquist and Chad Muska. They all have different stats reflecting their actual skills in life and several preset Special moves. You have eight pro skaters to choose from initially and bonus skaters can be unlocked. There are seven levels taken from the games: Warehouse, School 2, The Mall, Hanger, Downhill Jam, Venice Beach and Marseille. You have the flip, grab and grind tricks from the first game and lip tricks, wall rides and manuals that were introduced in the second. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD is a mix of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 and 2 thus the mechanics only span up until the second game. Tony Hawk’s arcade-like skateboarding series has bailed long ago but is THPS HD a clean landing? After the failed attempt with the skateboard peripheral after Tony Hawk: Ride Activision announced at last year’s E3 Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD a re-imaging of the first two games. The only thing that saved American Wasteland for me was the online play and I thought Project 8 dismal. Some people thought after THPS 2, while some thought after Underground and for me was after Underground 2. Depending who you ask the series started to decline at a couple of different points. It’s no secret that the Tony Hawk’s series has fallen from grace over the years. 3/2/2024 0 Comments Maestral kroatienThat means that you can always find a great deal for Aminess Maestral Hotel. godine PLAMEN osnivaju braa Marko i Janko Krtolica, a porodini biznis preuzimaju uz njih lanovi porodice, to ini ovaj privredni gigant jo snanijim i jaim.

I have used and still have a pair of pin instead of pawls jacks, and the shear strength of a probably 3/8" steel pin is fine for the use. I check and re-check about the pawls being engaged before I remove the hydraulic jack, and a few times in near 50 years of working on vehicles, have found them to be not fully-engaged. I am space limited, so these should help in being able to do work. I recently bought the wheel dollys from HFT, to be able to move a vehicle around inside the shop. At times I have used the full wheel/tire under the vehicle to provide a safety margin. Redundancy may save you one day.Īs was mentioned, I also leave the jack under the vehicle after using it to lift, and placement of the jackstands, loaded with the vehicle weight. And, yes, chock two wheels, not just one. According to the lawsuit, every Harbor Freight Jack Stand has. The complaint follows a Pittsburgh automotive jack stand recall of 3-ton and 6-ton heavy duty steel jack stands sold by Harbor Freight. who purchased Harbor Freight jack stands item numbers 56371, 611196 or 61197. Look for the blue tags and get ITC Member Savings no. The Harbor Freight lawsuit includes all consumers in the U.S. I use a piece of plywood under jackstands on asphalt to keep the legs from digging-into the asphalt, since they do not have wide flat surfaces on the leg bottoms. Harbor Freights Inside Track Club members get access to Exclusive Pricing on 200+ new items monthly. I just pitched a set of jackstands that were probably 6 tons, they were old, and started to rust to the point they needed to be scrapped. Not a very reassuring setup! Bigger is better for jackstands. Try the 3 ton, in the store, and raise it to the typical height you wuld have clear underneath the vehicle, and see how side-to-side floppy it is, and the small 'footprint' of the base. You don't want the adjustable bar raised above half its length. Sink into it and often tilt when they do.Īnother vote for the 6 ton set, which I recently purchased. Hot asphalt for instance is not good as the stand can It needs to be flat, basically level, and hard. The main issue I see with jack stands is not having them on a good surface. So you should be fine with your vehicles as they aren't that heavy, still heavy enough to kill you though. Right now mine are under a one ton box van with the trans pulled, and they get used for this a lot. I personally leave the jack under the vehicle along with the stands whenever I use them, but that's just me. Say if you are doing brakes on the ground.īeing over capacity on jack stands is way better than coming up a little short.Īnd one never knows what the future will bring, you might end up getting a full size truck someday, or working on a friends, or somebody may borrow them. 3 tons jacks are really only good for slipping under a vehicle quick for a little extra safety if you aren't going to get under it. I wouldn't get the 3 ton, for another $20 you can get the 6 ton. We would just like to provide a space to review and talk about their tools.I have a pair of the 6 ton ones we use at the shop daily and they have held up well. *We the mods are not related to the company in any way.
