"The all over result of what you provided was exactly what we were after and we had a great time with lots of memories to look back on. Thank you for your service and both Maureen and I would be happy to recommend Baltic Holidays to anyone travelling to the Baltic states." Mr & Mrs McDonald, tailor-made Baltic tour, June 2016
"We want to thank you for planning a terrific vacation for us. Everything happened as planned. Pick-ups, hotel reservations and tour guides. The only thing you didn't deliver was sunshine every day!! It was an incredible experience for us. The guide who took us to Ukmerge and Sesuoliai had done lots of research and made it a very meaningful visit for us. We will definitely urge any of our friends who want to visit the Baltics to contact you." R. Aaron, August 2016
"We have just returned from our holidays and must inform you that it was brilliant in all aspects. We have travelled far & wide, & I don't think we have encountered any better drivers or guides. They were simply great! The Hotels too were absolutely fine. All in all, a great trip and thanks to Baltic Holidays for it. Keep it up!" Mr & Mrs Manecksha, Malaysia, private Baltic tour, May 2015
"We returned home yesterday, and would both like to say a huge "Thank you" for everything you did to make it such a wonderful holiday for us. Indeed, all the members of the Baltic Holidays team were so helpful and kind, and we would be very grateful if you could pass on our thanks to them too." Mr & Mrs Maybury, September 2015
"Just a quick word to get back to you after our very enjoyable and successful Baltic Holiday - thank you! We had a really great holiday and enjoyed very much the variety and interest which the 4x capital cities offered us. All our local guides and drivers were extremely personable, spoke superb English, and provided very interesting informative commentaries." Mrs Gross, August 2015
"Just got back from a really excellent holiday. We would like to thank you for organising such a great holiday- the hotels were very good, the guides and drivers were well informed, very polite and friendly and very punctual! We would certainly recommend your company to our family and friends." Mr Gayton, August 2015
"The custom itinerary planned by Baltic Holidays was well-done: informative guides, well-located hotels, and safe, timely transfers. Thank you for your attention to all of the details that made our experience an excellent one. There is nothing we would change. Our trip was perfect in every way." B. McLaughlin, July 2015
"Everything was so well organized. The guides were excellent and always on time. Never rushed us when we were visiting the sights. I think they all went beyond the "call of duty". Please give our best to all who were a part of making this tour one of the best I have ever been on." B. Hair, July 2015
"Finally some time to send you a note thanking you for a wonderful vacation. You were so patient with us as we planned our vacation in Russia, Finland and Estonia. The trip was excellent." T. Dowling, July 2015
"We had a marvelous time, absolutely fantastic and we could not have imagined it any better. The driver/guides were very flexible and patient with us, as we had many questions and needs. Your advice on what to do, together with Jurga's help later on, was invaluable. The itinerary turned out to be a model of how to do three Baltic states in a week. Thank you, I know you invested a lot of time in our itinerary." S. Lin, June 2015
"'Faultless' just about sums it up. Added to the abundant attractions of Lithuania and its people, it is difficult to see how Baltic Holidays could have arranged things any more smoothly or provided better guides each day. The latter, in particular, were friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to 'go the extra mile' to tailor the trip to our particular interests – in this case, the 'Soviet Legacy Tour'. Both country and company are therefore highly recommended." J.Whitbourn, July 2015
"We found the holiday (Moldova private tour) most interesting and Valery is an excellent guide." M.Taylor, July 2015
"Riga was charming and we really enjoyed walking the streets and discovering little alleys, cloisters and getting to know our bearings." D.Fitzherbert, April 2004
"Just thought we'd let you know that our holiday in Latvia was a great success and everything (taxi, walking tour guide) worked extremely well. The food everywhere was excellent and such good value. Riga was very interesting and Jurmala relaxing – a beautiful sandy beach and dachas everywhere being refurbished or falling down." Mr & Mrs Clunie.
"Tallinn was great, and the apartment beautiful and very well located. There is plenty to do for families - not just the city sights that tend to leave little children a bit cold, but the zoo, the open air museum, trips to the islands and even the chance to visit Helsinki." Mrs Hutton, family holiday.
"Sally, we had a great time and it really was a fascinating holiday. It was so refreshing to visit countries where you have to try local food, because the usual chips-with-everything doesn't exist. We hardly met any English tourists in Estonia - more in Latvia. We feel totally refreshed and as if we had experienced a very different culture. Overall, we hope to return to Latvia and perhaps this time visit Lithuania too." Mrs Hutton, family holiday in Estonia & Latvia.
"Everything was beautifully organised; the hotel was splendid - the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Riga itself is a delight, and the walking tour was exactly what we needed - it gave us a taste of the town and made it easy for us to do our own sightseeing afterwards, and the guide was fantastic. The transport arrangements were perfect, and indeed exceeded our expectations! The weather was fantastic, and indeed we spent a couple of hours on the beach on Monday afternoon!" Mr & Mrs Toller, June 2013
"This was our 3rd trip with Baltic Holidays and everything went like clockwork. The flight was on time, the taxi was waiting for us at the airport, and the Albert Hotel was very good with friendly and helpful staff." B.Solloway, Riga city break
"Our memories of the three Baltic countries are happy ones, and we were full of admiration for the people and the cities, and we would most certainly recommend Baltic Holidays to anyone who was considering visiting these countries." Mr Sullivan, July 2015
"We really liked the trip. I thought the itinerary was great. It was a good pace. Everyone's English was good." K.Beebe, June 2015
"In general, the trip was excellent – one of the best organised we have done and we do travel a lot." S.Williams, June 2015
"Such good experiences, memories and appreciation of you and your thoughtful work for us. The trip really was so special in our lifetime travels. All of the schedule was accurate, prompt, hotels just fine and drivers there when expected, even handled like lost sheep by Oleg in Moscow. You just did a wonderful, careful job with excellent choices for us and such appropriate well selected tours and staff and hotels. What a job you did, so we are most grateful to you." M.Litwiller, June 2015
"Thank you very much for all the arrangements and we all had a great trip. We ate a lot, saw a lot and laughed a lot. We enjoyed the trip very much and for sure we will recommend Baltic Holidays to our friends." B.Tse, June 2015
"We'd never had private guides before, but it's an excellent way to do it; not just the wealth of information in respect of cultural and historical things but also chatty insight from a local as to how they live and what they do. Also, in St Petersburg it took away the headache of working out how to use public transport, where to queue, language issues etc. Overall St Petersburg was the highlight, what with all the history and things to do. Your earlier guidance was helpful.... rest assured we are two very satisfied customers. "
Mr & Mrs Mauger, May 2011
"It was an excellent holiday, all the arrangements worked like clockwork and the guides and drivers were truly excellent - having Valentin waiting for us on the platform at the door to the carriage when we arrived at St Petersburg at 11p.m. was a definitive moment."
Mr & Mrs Wilki, September 2010
"We had a great time. Having local guides for several hours for just the two of us meant these were not just group type city tour guides. We learned a lot by asking them questions outside their direct briefs"
Roger, May 2012

We have just returned from yet another trip brilliantly organised by Baltic Holidays. This time we went to Vilnius. The Hotel was superb, and in an excellent location, the private guides were very good with understandable English, and everything was meticulously planned and on time. Absolutely marvellous. We had a truly wonderful time, all thanks to Philip and his team, and would not hesitate to recommend Baltic Holidays to anyone, indeed we already have, to several friends and family! Judy & Stanley Lester, February 2016
Can't thank Baltic Holidays enough. We have just had one of our best family holidays. Skiing in Jasna. It was absolutely perfect. Exactly what we wanted and needed. Brilliant! Lucy Pitman, February 2016

Arsenal are reportedly looking to end their interest in Loic Remy, with the French striker's wage demands proving the be a problem ahead of a switch from QPR.
Remy has been on the club's radar for much the summer and makes sense now as another addition with Alexis on board. But the club's need for Remy isn't so great that they need to over spend on wages.
The club still have important areas to address, with another central midfielder and goalkeeper standing out. Remy would be a good signing for Arsenal, but not if he can't curb his demands to suit the club.
In light of this latest stumbling block, here are five alternatives for Arsenal to consider.
AC Milan are still said to be interested in selling Mario Balotelli, but would struggle to get the fee they initially placed on the forward after his generally disappointing World Cup campaign.
Balotelli was strongly linked with Arsenal and looked to tick many of the boxes the club needed. But having just signed Alexis for £30 million, the club are highly unlikely to spend a similar amount on another forward.
However, recent reports indicate Balotelli's asking price has fallen considerably, with Milan asking for a fee in the region of £15 million. If that's the case, Arsenal should seriously consider making an offer for the Italian, who is capable of becoming one of Europe's best.
Wilfried Bony has had another very good season, building on his reputation established in Dutch football by scoring 16 league goals in his debut season in England.
The Swansea striker has been linked with moves to bigger clubs in the Premier League, with Liverpool said to be interested, but he'd also offer a lot to Arsenal's attack, with the club competing on four fronts next season.
Due to his size, Bony could offer similar qualities to Olivier Giroud, but he also has the ability to be direct, something Giroud rarely offers.
It will be difficult to prise him from Swansea after the club have just loaned Michu to Napoli, but Bony would nevertheless be a boost to Arsenal's forward line next season.
Lorenzo Insigne was said to be a transfer target for Arsenal before the World Cup, but Napoli were obviously going to price the Italy international out of a move away, such has been his impact at the San Paolo last season.
Insigne may be small in stature, but he makes up for it in pace and clinical finishing. Arsenal have a set of options for the centre-forward role now with Alexis Sanchez signed, but finding a regular starter for the left side of attack is a must. Insigne brings all the direct elements of an attacker that is lost on players like Santi Cazorla.
For the right price, the diminutive forward would be a good signing for Arsenal.
Chelsea are reportedly one of two clubs chasing Napoli's Jose Callejon, with the Spaniard having worked under Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid.
Callejon has been a surprisingly effective forward over the past few seasons, both in Spain and Italy, despite not possessing the glamour and flair of former teammates at Real Madrid. Last season, in Napoli's Coppa Italia-winning season, the 27-year-old scored 15 goals in the league alone, with 20 in total.
Callejon is versatile but mostly plays from the wide positions, able to perform from either flank. He'd be a very good alternative to Loic Remy.
With Alexis signed as the club's marquee forward, it wouldn't be the worst idea for Joel Campbell to be retained into next season.
It's been suggested that the Costa Rica striker will go on loan, but such were his performances at the World Cup that he would be considered a good addition to the Arsenal squad for next season.
Campbell's versatility means he'd offer the same qualities as Loic Remy. The upside is that the club won't have to spend on another forward, with funds able to be focused elsewhere. There's a lot of good feeling at the club at present, and without doubt, this is the time to stick with a young prospect who can be of value over the coming campaign.

The tanks were upgraded for use in Iraq but are unsuitable for deployment in Afghanistan, where Mastiff and Ridgback vehicles are better suited to cope with the terrain and threat.
The refit programme, ordered as an "urgent operational requirement" three years ago, saw 900 FV430 variant vehicles given new engines, drive trains and driver controls, and reclassification as Bulldogs.
An MoD spokeswoman said: "We provide our armed forces with the vehicles that best meet their operational need. The Bulldog was specifically upgraded for use in Iraq where it played a key role in providing armoured protection for many personnel.
"In Afghanistan, where the terrain and threats are different, this role is performed by the Mastiff and Ridgback. The Bulldogs continue to have a role in training exercises in the UK."
The upgrade came to light after freedom of information requests submitted by The Times newspaper.
The Mastiff and the Ridgback, it's "baby brother", were rolled out in Afghanistan to withstand the increasing threat of roadside bombs and to take the place of the more vulnerable Snatch Land Rovers.

Life Insurance – Why men of all ages should worry
Abby Dryer | Jul 24, 2011 | Comments 4
So you're married, and prepared to spend the rest of your life with the one you love, and she's prepared to spend the rest of her life with you. You've gotten through the cleaning chores, and you've learned when to say thank you… But are you prepared for when death does you part? What about the other 'planning' things that need to be taken care of? It's not anyone's favorite thing to talk about, but it should be talked about. In order to avoid making the uncomfortable conversation last longer than necessary, I have a few tips on what to talk about and why. To start, we'll talk about Life Insurance.
*To be clear, I am not a licensed professional, and this is not to be considered professional advice. I was licensed in Life, Disability Insurance many years ago, but no longer hold those certifications. The articles in this series are to be considered good ideas and nothing more.*
Life insurance can get very complicated very quickly, but in order to keep it simple, all you need to think about is what it would take to replace your income until your family can become self-sustaining. What does your income pay for?
- Mortgage or rent?
- Utility bills?
- Credit card debt?
- Car payments?
This is where having a budget comes in handy, but it's not absolutely necessary. Find a good Life Insurance broker (someone referred by a friend or relative is always the best option) and find out what you qualify for. At the very least, try to cover a full year's salary. If you can afford more, get enough to pay off debt in order to give your spouse a few less things to worry about while learning to live life without you. If you can afford enough to pay off the car, credit cards, and even the house, it will turn out to be a sound investment.
Keep in mind that some employers offer life insurance for their employees. See how much you can get from them, but understand that if you stop working for that employer, the insurance goes away.
There is also a lot of confusion surrounding Term Life insurance or Whole Life insurance. Term life insurance covers you for a certain period of time (such as 20 years) and is a good idea if you only want to cover the costs of raising a child, and nothing afterwards. Whole Life insurance does not expire, and is a better option if you want to take care of your spouse's financial needs after your untimely demise. Ask your insurance broker what makes sense based on your situation.
Remember, it's best to get insurance when you are young and healthy. Some diseases can make you un-insurable, and as you get older, the cost of insurance goes up. Keep that in mind if you're thinking about getting Term insurance… it will be more expensive 20 years from now.
One last thing, if your health improves (such as you lose weight or quit smoking) some life insurance companies will let you take a new physical to apply for a lower rate to your existing insurance. Ask your insurance broker what they offer.
This won't be a fun conversation, but it is an important conversation. You and your wife will feel much more comfortable when it is over and everything is set up.

About the Author: Abby Dryer's goal in life is to bridge the communication gap between men and women. She finds herself giving lots of marital advice to her guy friends whose wives don't want to have to explain *everything* to their husbands. "Women are hard to understand. I'm a woman, and *I* don't even get us sometimes! Goodhusbanding is a great guide to help men understand their women, and hopefully communicate with a little more confidence, because that's what works… communication!"

So here's the second film in competition at Cannes this year that, like David Cronenberg's Maps to the Stars, is about acting and stardom and the pressure on an ageing actress in a culture that prizes youth even above celebrity. Clouds of Sils Maria is by far the more thoughtful, intriguing and psychologically developed.
Juliette Binoche is Maria, an actress who made her name at 18 in a play, The Maloja Snake, made into a famous film, about a young woman of 20, "Sigrid", seducing and destroying an older woman, "Helen", in her forties. Now, 20 years later, Maria is persuaded to act in the play again, after the playwright's death — but this time in the part of Helen, while Sigrid is to be played by hot new teen actress Jo-Ann (the brilliantly cast Chloë Grace Moretz, 17, of Kick-Ass).
Maria retreats to the Alpine house of the late playwright, near the village of Sils Maria in the beautiful Engadin valley, to rehearse her role and if possible come to terms with being transformed into the older, weaker woman, with the help of her young personal assistant Val (Kristen Stewart, dressing down). In this exquisite landscape, they act out the play, Val feeding Maria her prompts — but Maria delivers her lines about being tormented by her dependency on the younger woman with such power that you believe they're for real.
It's another great performance from Binoche (50, acting 40, by the way), sharply satirical about our celebrity and social media addictions (director Olivier Assayas credits his great influences as being Robert Bresson — and the "society of the spectacle" theorist Guy Debord). Binoche's helpless laughter on hearing about Jo-Ann's "superpowers" as a mutant superhero in her last movie is treasurable.
The Maloja Snake is a real and spectacular weather phenomenon, in which clouds move up the Engadin valley in a startlingly serpentine way — its eventual appearance here has the effect of a snake in paradise. Assayas is a master of fluent, even sinuous, film-making. Although in its way yet another film about film-making, it's also about the power and transience of youth. The French do it differently. They do it better.

Eager to create comedy gold with her co-host, Amy Poehler arrived at the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Sunday (January 12).
Posing with her gorgeous pal Tina Fey, the "Parks and Recreation" star shined brightly as she posed for a few pics before heading inside to start the show.
Gearing up for the honor of hosting the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 12th, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler engaged in an interview with Marisa Guthrie of The Hollywood Reporter.
The Big Apple was the place to be last night (December 15) as "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" premiered at the Beacon Theatre.

Now that the new 2012 NFL season chatter about free agents, franchise tags, and NFL combine rankings have started to flesh themselves out, we can easily get caught up in forgetting about last season. Some fans don't want to think about their respective teams from last season; while others will never forget their team's miraculous plays. Nevertheless, I think it would be a little naïve not to at least attempt to digest some defining characteristics of several teams (specifically the 12 playoff teams from last season) and determine what trends 2011 brought that might be applicable to 2012.
Rummaging through some numbers and rankings (according to ESPN) from last season, I determined that a team's defensive susceptibility to the passing game is the least important determining factor for getting your team to the Super Bowl. Let me explain. Using the four major categories for team rankings (offensive passing yards, offensive rushing yards, passing yards allowed, and rushing yards allowed), I broke down the playoff teams (Denver, Houston, New England, NY Giants, Green Bay, Detroit, San Francisco, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Cincinnati, and Atlanta) from 2011. For example, Denver was the 31st ranked offensive passing team, the 1st ranked offensive rushing team, the 18th best team in passing yards allowed, and the 22nd ranked squad in regards to rushing yards allowed. Thus, Denver is in the top 10 in only offensive rushing yards compiled.
Using a threshold consisting of only the top 10 for each category, we get the following breakdown for all 12 teams that made the playoffs:
Pass Rank: 7/12=58.3%
Pass Defense: 4/12=33.3%
Rush Rank: 5/12=41.7%
Rush Defense: 6/12=50%
The percentages are compiled by taking the amount of teams in the top 10 for that specific category divided by the total amount of teams that made the playoffs. Let's continue this analysis, but instead using the 8 teams that made it to the Divisional Playoff Round:
Pass Rank: 4/8=50%
Pass Defense: 2/8=25%
Rush Rank: 5/8=62.5%
Rush Defense: 3/8=37.5%
And then top 10 rankings of the 4 teams to compete in the Conference Playoff Round:
Pass Rank: 2/4=50%
Pass Defense: 1/4=25%
Rush Rank: 2/4=50%
Rush Defense: 2/4=50%
And, lastly, the 2 Super Bowl contending squads:
Pass Rank: 2/2=100%
Pass Defense: 0/2=0%
Rush Rank: 0/2=0%
Rush Defense: 0/2=0%
Taking the percentages for each ranking, adding them together, and dividing the sum by the number of rounds, we get a percentage that indicates the relative importance of each ranking for eventually winning the championship. This percentage is shown below:
Pass Rank: 64.6%
Pass Defense: 20.8%
Rush Rank: 51.4%
Rush Defense: 45.8%
Thus, based on accumulating the rankings from all of the playoff teams, the relative importance for the 4 major statistical team categories shown from most important to least important are as follows - Offensive Pass Rank, Offensive Rushing Rank, Rush Defense, Pass Defense. However, considering that both the 49ers and the Ravens lost by a single field goal (accurately demonstrating that either team could have been in the Super Bowl instead of the Giants or Patriots), it would only be fair to crunch these numbers using the 49ers and Ravens in the Super Bowl too. When this is performed the following results show that passing yards allowed is still the least important factor in gauging the championship contenders.
Pass Rank: 52.8%
Pass Defense: 33.3%
Rush Rank: 63.6%
Rush Defense: 59.4%
Taking the average of the actual percentages and the simulated percentages, we see that offensive passing yards (58.7%) is the most important determinant followed by offensive rushing yards (57.5%), rushing yards allowed (52.6%), and lastly, passing yards allowed (27.1%). Obviously, the illustrated results are skewed toward a top 10 team ranking, but I believe that type of stringency seems reasonable in a league of 32; thus forcing a team to be in the top 31% to be a qualifier. Ultimately, these data suggest that NFL teams should be doing everything in their power to bolster their passing and running games (to at least top 10 status) even if it means significantly compromising at the cornerback and safety positions.

Saracens head coach Mark McCall wants his players to build on their stunning victory over Racing Metro by clinching top spot in their Heineken Cup pool.
McCall watched in amazement as England No10 Owen Farrell (above) kicked all 11 attempts at goal to ensure a "fantastic" 37-28 win in France. His 32-point haul, included a Heineken Cup record 10 penalties in a game.
Saracens' final Pool One game is at home to Edinburgh on Sunday, when victory will secure the club only their third appearance in the quarter-finals of Europe's leading tournament.
McCall said: "In the last four years we have been building in this competition and a win against a very good French side in France continues that.
"It was a fantastic performance and we're very proud of the team after bouncing back from the setbacks in the first half of an early injury, the tries and a yellow card.
"It was very important to stay in touch to feel like we could still win the game and Owen did that with his penalties.
"To be only seven points down at half-time gave us belief and the performance from everybody in the side was huge in the second half. But we still have an important job to do next week to secure top spot."
England wing David Strettle left the field on a stretcher after a heavy challenge from Fabrice Etsebanez in the fourth minute but was up and about after the match and travelled home with the team.
Harlequins, 47-8 winners over Connacht, face a difficult final group game at Biarritz on Friday knowing they are very close to securing a home quarter-final.
Wing Ugo Monye celebrated his 200th game for the Quins with a solo try. Director of rugby Conor O'Shea said: "Ugo's try gave me the most pleasure of all. He has had a heck of a lot of good offers from other clubs but has remained with us and he still has a lot to offer."

The team from NRMA DriverSeat is in Germany this week to visit the bi-annual Frankfurt Motor Show, one of the world's premier auto fairs. We'll bring you news and pictures from the event as they happen via this blog, our Facebook page and our Twitter feeds, and we'd love to hear from you – what do you want to see?
We'll be driving the a new Mazda3, which has already been revealed in part to Australian media – you can read that story HERE. Mazda calls the car the "most important" in its history, and as one of Australia's top-selling cars for the last few years, it's not hard to see why.
There are several other launches of interest at the Frankfurt Show, including Nissan's all-new X-Trail, BMW's amazing high-performance i8 plug-in hybrid – a pointer to its hatchback-sized, 'real world' i3 -, Audi's Quattro Sport Concept and several luxury SUV concepts from Jaguar (above), Lexus and Infinity.
What's different about the concept cars displayed at Frankfurt is that many of them actually make it into production; the i8, for example, was a concept at the 2011 show. Citroen will display a concept SUV called the Cactus (above), which is said to be in final stages of production testing. It's rumoured to sport a unique compressed air/diesel hybrid arrangement that could replace electric motors and batteries.
It's not just the cars that take centre stage at Frankfurt, either. As home to the world's premier German brands, Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz go to extraordinary lengths to construct elaborate and complex pavilions at Frankfurt, often incorporating test tracks within the walls of the stands themselves.
Make sure you click back onto this blog for daily updates direct from Frankfurt; the first will be live Wednesday morning.

The Lord's Supper
The Lord's Supper was instituted by Jesus while celebrating the Passover meal on the night before His crucifixion. The unleavened bread symbolizes the perfect humanity of Christ, and the red juice symbolizes the blood of the New Covenant that was ratified on the cross. Christians who partake of the Lord's Supper see themselves as the beneficiaries of the spiritual blessings of forgiveness and the indwelling Holy Spirit. Continue reading

Kiya's POV
Why did I ever fall for a guy like him? Seriously my brain had gone on a holiday when I was fantasizing about him. He is not at all interested in me and to top that he likes my friend Panchi!!! I mean I was trying to hit on a guy who likes my best friend. So complicated right? And how much ever I try to hate him, I just cant do it. He just pops into my mind without my permission. And troubles me and don't allow me to concentrate on my studies. And when I keep thinking about the fact that he doesn't like me but my best friend, I just feel as if there is a hole inside my heart. All this feelings for a guy whom I just met and told me to get lost. And hasn't spoken to me after that!
You all must be wondering what rubbish im saying. I'll explain it in detail. Today was just like any other normal day. Except for the fact that I was late to school, got fired by Froggy (Banga) and almost tripped in class, my day was absolutely mind blowing. After school I had just gone to he washroom to fix my hair and then when I came back, I saw both of them together in the class room, alone, laughing and joking, in their own world. Then the next moment they were hugging. My mind was going through a mix of emotions. Anger, hurt, upset but most important jealousy. Jealousy enough to even break my friendship with her!! I went from there to another deserted class room to sort out the confusion in my mind. I even had a very intense conversation with my angel side and my devil side.
Angel: Kiya, see how happy your friend is. You should be glad for your friend
Devil; I don't care! She cant like him.
Angel: But why? Because he chose her over you?
Devil: Ouch! Couldn't you say that a little more indirectly?
Angel: Don't spoil our friend's happiness. Look how she is smiling.
Devil: Don't listen to this angel Kiya, follow what your brain says
Angel: She is your best friend Kiya, You cant hurt her. Don't listen to the devil
Kiya: I wont listen to both of you!! Just shut up, get lost and leave me alone!!
And finally they stopped their bickering and left me with my thoughts. I tell you, when im confused, I get so confused that even the most confusing of situations will look less confusing in front of my confusion. *sigh* The heartbreaks of first crush is indeed painful.
Eventually I realized that the angel side of me had taken over. Panchi is my best friend and will always remain my bestie forever. I wont let a guy come in between us. I'll just ignore KD and Panchi and I will continue to be soulmates like before.
This was how I tried to assure myself. But I was scared. Scared that things will never be the same again between me and Panchi. And all because of that guy KD!! Is any guy that special enough for me that I'll break my 10 year friendship with Panchi?? If you had asked me this question 2 days before I would have definitely said yes!! But today for the first time im not sure.
So today was my first step towards "Kiya ko sorry bolo mission"!! Ya I know it's a stupid name but what to do!! I couldn't think of any other name. Anyways the name doesn't matter, its my actions that is important. And I had made up my mind to say sorry to her.
You must be thinking what the first step was. Well first thing I got to know that Panchi has been Kiya's best buddy since they joined school so I decided to take her help to execute my plan to tell Kiya that im extremely sorry for being rude. I was proud of myself for thinking of such an ingenious plan. Bu then I realized that it was not so easy to put my ingenious plan into action.
First of all Kiya and Panchi are always together!! The whole day I didn't see both of them separated. The second thing was that I had to do all this without my buddies knowing since they think that we are "enemies"!! So the only time I got to talk to her was after school when Panchi was alone in the class room and Kiya had gone somewhere else!! Darn I hope she did not go to meet any guy!!! Anyways I went inside and explained everything to Panchi. She was surprised at first seeing me confess my feelings about Kiya and being the sweetheart she is agreed to help me to say sorry to her. She asked me to imagine that she was Kiya and say sorry to her. Well this was my first experience saying sorry to anyone so I started stammering and said something stupid! So stupid that both of us burst out laughing and then Panchi assured me that she would help me to practice how to say sorry to Kiya. Well because of Kiya I got a new and awesomely sweet buddy like Panchi. I held out my hand towards Panchi and the moment she shook my hand, I knew that we were going to be really good buddies. It's a relief that Kiya has got such friends like Panchi.
Anyways I gave her a quick hug and went from there. Luckily Kiya hadn't come yet and i went home, happy that I was finally going to say sorry to Kiya. Tomorrow panchi will help me practice say sorry in the class room after school and I will finally apologise to her after that and clear all the misunderstanding between us. I just cant wait for tomorrow to come!!
So hope you guys like the update!! Waiting for all the feedback!! If its not good then *me running off*
P.S: Pms will be sent late

Once in a while us audiophiles guys get asked to upgrade a system when the person does not have a lot of funds. I foolishly like a challenge at times.
Everything is in place except the junk 'white van' speakers that will go to the trash can. I searched the archives and good speakers that used to fly under the radar are now $200 & up plus shipping on epay.
Any ideas for $100 that has a 10"+ woofer? Local Goodwill has nothing of interest for over a month.
Follow Ups:
I wouldn't fixate on woofer diameter, unless you're a bass freak. A 12" woofer isn't necessarily going to sound better than a 10"; and an 8" isn't necessarily going to sound worse.
As others have mentioned: Snells from the era when Peter Snell was alive. Old Bozaks, if you can find them, sound surprisingly "natural" even though they won't have ear-popping bass.
A lot of acoustic suspension speakers have a pretty thick sound, unless you're into listening to cello recordings: Advents (really nasty treble), KLH-17s, AR-3 anythings, AR-4, EPIs (except the 100, which is nice). So I would avoid them.
For my money, the AR-5 and AR-2ax are the best balanced of the classic AR speakers. KLH-6's sound surprisingly good, considering that they have a 12" woofer and, IIRC, no midrange.
Avoid just about any Japanese-branded stuff: Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha (except the NX-1000) from the 70s. It's pretty awful.
Also avoid the Klipsch Heresy, which is just an ear-bleeder of the first order . . . suitable only as a PA speaker, in my opinion.
All of these speakers will sound much better on a stand that puts the tweeter at ear level and gets them off the floor.
You are right in my sweet spot. I have owned dozens of speakers in this category/price range.
As others have mentioned, forget woofer size. If you are looking for good solid bass for under $200 and still want a well-rounded speaker, try a/d/s, original Advents, AR, older Polk, Boston Acoustics, Avid, RTR, Graphyx, DCM, EPI, Epicure. Also, Optimus Mach One.
All of the above can be found cheap if you are patient and beat the typical Kabuki junk (Sansui, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sharp, Technics, etc.) and modern big box JBL, Klipsch, and Bose junk that makes up most of the CL listings. Also, avoid Cerwin-Vega, just my opinion.
The Dynaco's are always a safe bet but if your looking for something that's still flying under the radar. The Radio Shack Optimus 8b's. I have seen these for as low as $15 on Craiglists. It's really hard to beat for the money!
...lower models (A70, A100s) were simple 2-ways with an 8 or 10" woofer. Tweeter by Seas.
Non-tiring, good bass, and fairly efficient.
Always on ebay...
Avid fits your description pretty well. It came along a few years after the Advent, was similar in design, some critics thought it a little better or at least as good, and is less well known now has less of a cult following and thus probably less in demand and cheaper.
all the best,
Wow, those scans take me back. I loved the catalogs from mail order hi fi dealers back in the '70s. My favorite was from Warehouse Sound in exotic - sounding (to a college student in Virgina anyway) San Luis Obispo, California. The catalog featured pictures of happy, beautiful SoCal college girls in halter tops who seemed to be completely thrilled to be posing with nerdy looking guys and their Warehouse Sound stereo systems. The system descriptions invariably talked about how great the systems sounded at parties; the not - so - subliminal message was "buy this Pioneer - Dual - Electrovoice rig and you'll be hooking up with hot hippie chicks before you can drop a needle on Best of Bread !" I read and reread the Warehouse Sound catalogs until they fell apart.
Which catalog are your scans from?
The AVID scans were from the one and only (I think) catalog issued by Gordon Miller Music in Baltimore, MD, ca. 1977. Nice store; rather short-lived, though.
Now, is that cover art Seventies enough for you?
all the best,
Dual TT's, BIC loudspeakers, Koss Pro4A's, Akai cassette decks, Kenwood amps. I had a Warehouse Sound tee shirt that I wore to shreds. There was a local hifi store in NC that carried the same brands. I think they subscribed to Warehouse Sounds catalog and just ordered the same stuff. Used to stand in front of some huge Altec speakers and turn it up and let our bell bottom pant legs flap in the breeze. Good times.
I concur. A friend sold them in the 70s. They were designed by Victor Brociner,one of the great old audio designers.
Listen to ADS.
The Snell type K's sound great and have 8" woofers. They can be had for around $100.00.....
Parts Express has some Dayton Audio speakers that sound quite good for the money. Two sets with 6 inch woofers can be had for about 100 bucks. Then after additional funds are available they have a 10 inch sub that blends nicely.
(borrowed photo, obviously)
The early version, which used the inexpensive but very respectable Wolverine LS-8 twincone fullrange driver as its midrange is the one to seek. Sensitive and very respectable sounding speaker in a small, closed-box package. "Great for tube amps". It was part of a series of similar "Low Resonance Compact Speaker Systems" being marketed by EV - I reckon the others are good, too... but I've only managed to find "Esquires" myself. Later Esquires used a much more generic MR driver.
Here in New England, finding nice EPI, AVID, Boston Acoustics, Advent, KLH, and (to a lesser degree) AR speakers cheap or free is still not difficult. These are all capable of quite enjoyable performance although mainly with mid or even high powered soiled state electronics "for best results".
Heck, there's a cosmetically very nice pair of Advent Legacy IIs from the swap pile at our town dump sitting in my front hall even as I type this :-P I previously had a cosmetically-not-so-nice pair that I refoamed and gave away. They sounded pretty decent (despite being post-Kloss "Andvent" products - Recoton-era, I think), so I didn't hesitate to pick up the current pair when they showed up.
For reference, this is an example of the earlier pair pre and post-refoam.
Of course, careful what one wishes for! I found a pair of AR-3s at the dump, years ago. They were in TERRIBLE condition; but they sounded just fine. Well, the price WAS right.
all the best,
that sound very good, and can't be matched, IMO, for the $150-300 or so they will cost. All are easy to drive as well.
JBLs used to cost $100, no more. $300 now. B&O are at least $150 now. Prices have gone up or 'used to fly under the radar'.
I "upgraded" from Dynaco A25s to Mordaunt-Short Festival IIs after an in home audition. While I now use a high-efficiency horn system, I still think they sound good. And even my audio engineer/high-end studio owner friend liked them. They are a "typical" British 2-way with an 8" woofer and a dome tweeter from the late 70's, they don't need much power, and when I've seem them sell on eBay it is often for well less than $50.
vinyl asylum alread gets enough vinyl related traffic make it hard to keep up with the posts..but when people start threads such as this that have no business here, it's just clutter...
I can suggest the Infinity Qe, 8", not 10", but I got mine for a measley $10 and they are fighting my Klipsch for supremacy. I'd recommend Fortes but they're 12's! Both are amazing, but not 10's...
I have Crites modded Fortes & stock Cornwalls. These are both out of my friends budget, but those Qe nipping at the heals of a Forte must be one hell of a speaker. I assume the Qe bass is not near a Forte, but plays low enough.
A speaker with a 10' woofer and found used for $100, has no usable output in the 35-40Hz range.
The listener/owner of such a system, would have little need for 35-40Hz.
The audition is everything.
Vintage Sansui speakers with a 15" may not play down to 35Hz. The 10" speaker is a target. I have modern 8" Peerless that will play to 35Hz no problem.
Some large woofers can not play low, some smaller can.
Large and good woofers are not cheap, he would be better of with smaller but better woofer.
will do that. I have a floor standing speaker with 6.5" woofers that go down that low.
My 8" woofer has usable bass down to 25 Hz. It is amazing how many subs on the market can't go into the 20 Hz range. I just laugh. I'll take a full range speaker over sat/subs any day of the week. Now, if you are using a sub for bass 40Hz and below (maybe 50 Hz and below), than that is another matter.
Occasionally I get a good deal on Craigslist. I found a pair of Snell Type K's with refoamed woofers for $150 and a pair of near mint Dahlquist DQ12's for $200. It takes a lot of patience and daily searching.
The keys to CL are checking often, patience and the ability to react quickly if a great deal is posted.
I believe the A-25 can be a great speaker. It can work well with lower powered amps (if not cheap ones), tube or SS. It is relatively full range, meaning reasonable bass extension. It is good enough that it responds to a few tweaks; upgrade crossover cap, remove tweeter guard or replace tweeter, surround tweeter with dispersion blocs (foam), and solid stands that place tweeter at ear level from the prime listening seat.
But the woofer is a 10" and every pair I've seen has rubber surrounds which should still be in good condition unless mistreated.
Now, search Vintage site for A-25 and you'll find lots of info has already been covered.
Has an 8" woofer I think.
A good speaker with a bigger woofer will usually cost you more than $100 in great shape (unless you luckily stumble on to some 70's ARs or JBL L100s or something like that.. but unlike the A25, they used surrounds that will be in need of replacement now).
The Dynaco is a great natural sounding speaker.. commonly found for right around your friend's price point & it's reasonably efficient enough to use lower powered amps with it.
I have an unrestored pair I play with a 20wpc Fisher integrated in my office & they sound real natural & nice to me.. with more than decent bass.
The original cabinets aren't quite big enough, ideally, for the very nice Seas woofers that are in there.. but for a casual system, i wouldn't sweat that at all.
Many also "upgrade" them with newer tweeters from Seas or Morel (think only a drop in replacement from Seas is still an option), but check out places like Madisound online & see what they have or recommend.
What kind've amp do u guys have lined up for the system?
I haven't heard any of them for many years but when they were in production I much preferred the A-35 and the later A-25XL to the A-25s. I don't recall ever hearing or seeing the A-50. Any of the Dynacos are probably a good bet.
Peter Snell era (pre-1986 or so) Snell Es or Js would be my first choice but the woofers will need new surrounds. They are significantly better than Dynacos, ARs, KLHs, EPIs and Large Advents IMO. The Cizek Model One is not that easy to find but another excellent option. It also used foam woofer surrounds IIRC so they would need replacement. If you luck into a pair of Cizek KA-1s buy them despite the smaller woofer. The molded concrete Rauna speakers are another unlikely score but very good if the enclosures are intact. The KLH 6 and most of the EPIs aren't bad.
With used speakers watch out for inappropriate replacement drivers. There are a lot of idiots out there.
The A-25's are a great value and easy to find. They seem kind of like Dynaco ST-70 amps - the price seems to always be about the same, so, apart from inflation, I suppose, you can just about always sell them for what you paid. They do turn up on eBay quite often, though shipping cost could be a factor. I haven't seen them in the local Goodwill (I kinda think there's some kind of leak between the donation station and the store - nothing but sh!t ends up in the store) but have seen them on craigslist from time to time.
I have a pair of them I've used with a Dyna ST-70, Fisher 500 & 800, Marantz 8B, Dyna Mk III's, etc., and they sounded just fine with all of them. Not hyper-efficient, mind you, and not really exceptional in any respect, but very pleasant, non-fatiguing, nice to listen to.
The A-25's bass poops out at about 50 Hz and the top end rolls off about about 12 Khz. But these are speakers which sound like music and obey the first law of speakers: get the midrange right!
They don't need gobs of power and have a flat impedance curve, so they're not going to interact with tube amps having a high output impedance.
20-25 watts is fine, although the speakers will never deliver ear-bleeding levels.
The A-50 (if you can find it) has the same tweeter, so the top end will be the same. It uses two woofers, so the bass is a little more authoritative and deeper.
When they 1st came out Stereophile reviewed them as having the best bass there was. They didn't mean the deepest but the cleanest. And since they were the best selling audiophile speaker of all time they can still be found pretty easily.
Found a pair of Dynaco A25's at our local thrift several yrs ago for $5. Amazed at how good they were. Used in primary system for a while until they were edged out by a vintage pair of KLH 6 found at the same thrift for $12. The last year or so, thrifts have become a dry well for vintage gear in our area. Craigslist could be a good bet. Prevailing market price will be found on ebay.
After I dragged a pair of free Dynaco A-25 speakers home (one speaker wasn't working) and spent ten minutes on repair I was shocked to find that I preferred them to the audiophile-approved ACI Sapphires I had at the time. Even more so after replacing the single capacitor in the crossover with something not 35 yrs old (I used Obbligato copper caps).
They work great with tube amps (I've used them with an Eico ST-40, an Onix SP3, and my current Audiomat Prelude Reference) and capacitor-coupled vintage SS amps like the Marantz 2230 receiver. I still have my pair and still love 'em.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them with enthusiasm.
try speakers or vintage.

Monica Burke's Profile
My name is Monica and I've been making light fixtures for over 11 years. I feel fortunate to have learned the art and craft of lighting from the professionals at my former place of employment, Rejuvenation, in Portland, Oregon. My very first week of sales training included a day in their restoration department where, under the guidance of a seasoned craftsman, I made a custom pair of art-deco wall sconces for a customer. After that, I was hooked! I would hang out in the restoration department on my days off (geek alert) and learned how to wire various types of sockets as well as how to create really cool metal finishes. I count the time I spent at Rejuvenation as six of the most empowering years of my life.
Well, since then I've restored some sweet old lights for my own home and have made countless table lamps out of old metal parts and found objects. I've finally channeled my lamp…
