Dinosaur Stomp
Good morning friends and teachers! It's another wonderful adventure we had in Buds class. As we entered the room, we greeted our teachers with so much excitement and expectations of what we're going to do for the day. We're sure that our teachers prepared enjoyable activities that we could also learn from at the same time.
On our activity table, we had the special water play with soap and some dinosaur plastic toys. Our teachers told us that we could wash them today and of course, we all got really excited and we even volunteered to do the task. This was also part of our sensory and fine motor skills learning experience because we all need to touch and feel the information that we could get from the soap texture to the plastic toys. It felt really slippery at first and the dinosaurs always got out of our hands when we're washing them. In the end, we were able to wash them all and it was really a good opportunity for us to work with our hands and fingers.
The other table was quite busy too because this time, we had to use the dinosaur toys' feet to make footprints on our artwork. We used three colors and they were green, yellow and blue. Our teachers let us choose the color we liked and it was totally an amazing art time for us! The kitchen was also packed with friends for they wanted to make apple juice and some ice-cream on this hot weather. The carpet area was filled with animal toys and some wooden figurines. We tried naming all the animals that we could find on the floor and we recognized the deer, cow (some of our friend called them "moo"), dog, fox and snake. Our teachers made a hissing sound with a snake and we got so surprised to see that the snake could hiss so loud like that. We were brave enough to face the loud hissing sound.
After our play time, we all went to the pool! The weather was not so sunny but we're able to splash about and threw all the balls on the floor. We managed to pick them all up and enjoyed the whole process. We divided the group in two groups and once we're all done, we all went back to the classroom for our circle time.
John led the circle time today and he introduced some new friends to us. They are Rebecca rabbit and Barry the bear. They both liked to play and sing with us. However, Barry got so sleepy that he needed to say goodbye before we read the story about the dinosaurs. First, John showed his purple purse and let us touched it because he wanted us to guess what were inside it. We had no clue but when got one toy out, we all said, "Dinosaur". He got not just one but many, many dinosaurs. However, we saw that dinosaurs can be different in so many ways. We also read the book "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" and it depicted lots of dinosaurs we had a long, long time ago. They also showed the dinosaurs that are frozen in the ice. It was really cool. When we touched it, we all said, "cold". Lastly, we danced our "Dinosaur stomp" song. We wagged our tails, stomped, flapped our short arms and roared with our big voices.
It was again another fantastic time and we're looking forward to have more in the last three days of summer school! See you all again tomorrow!
Lots of love,
The little paleontologists from Buds class

Reading are one game away from a return to the Premier League after beating Fulham on home turf to reach the Championship play-off final at Wembley. The Royals' remarkable season under Jaap Stam continues, with the Reading manager mobbed and his players serenaded by supporters who flooded the pitch at the final whistle.
On a night when an unlikely promotion push gathered further momentum, Reading made another statement, announcing that the Chinese brother and sister, Dai Yongge and Dai Xiu Li, have become the club's majority shareholders with immediate effect following months of uncertainty.
On the field, Yann Kermorgant's second-half penalty ultimately gained Reading passage to a fourth play-off final, and the chance to return to the top flight after relegation in 2013. The Frenchman, who infamously missed the decisive spot-kick for Leicester City against Cardiff City in the 2010 play-offs, stepped up to dispatch his 19th goal of the season. It was not the best penalty but it was hard and low, and most importantly beyond the Fulham goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli.
According to Stam there was never any doubt that Kermorgant, who left the field to a spine-tingling standing ovation, would convert from 12 yards. "Yann was the only player to score a penalty in training yesterday [on Monday] so we were confident he would score," he said with a wry smile. "That is why I hoped it would be finished in 90 minutes. You can never get close to the ambience or the crowd in the stadium or get that exact same feeling."
The sense of occasion was clear from the off however: a rousing rendition of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, pitchside pyrotechnics as the players walked out and – although in vain – supporters being warned of the ramifications of entering the pitch at full-time.
These teams have got to know each other at close quarters, with this the fifth meeting between the two this season, including a game that was fogged off here in December. This one, though, had significantly more riding on it.
Stam said he will give his players a couple of days off before returning to training for the final on 29 May and is keen to avoid any "holiday vibes". Fulham, though, may just seek some sun after a disappointing end to an impressive campaign. The Cottagers have never won a play-off match. "We are the best team but we are not going to play the final," the Fulham manager, Slavisa Jokanovic, said. "I am proud of my team, how they played all the season. We lost but I can be proud of how my team played against Reading. We take the risks, we created many things but we were not clinical enough."
Jokanovic also insisted he expects to keep his best players at the club next season including Tom Cairney, who went close to finding an opener after the marauding Ryan Fredericks was tripped by Tyler Blackett. The Fulham captain sent a curling, devious free-kick towards goal, forcing Ali al-Habsi to save superbly with both hands. The goalkeeper was not finished there either, denying Sone Aluko from close range off the rebound.
Reading started the second half as they did the first, explosively and determined to make a lasting mark on this tie. Lewis Grabban sent a tame header goalwards at the end of a sweeping move but the real drama was still to come when Martin Atkinson, the referee, pointed to the penalty spot after seeing Tomas Kalas's handball. The Chelsea loanee shook his head but appeared to handle when accompanying Kermorgant into the box.
The penalty deflated Fulham, who could have fallen further behind but for a slice of good fortune. Chris Gunter's low cross was met by the onrushing John Swift but he failed to strike with any conviction and the ball struck Bettinelli, who in truth knew very little about it. With the hour mark fast approaching Jokanovic made changes, introducing the 16-year-old Ryan Sessegnon and Lucas Piazon, before throwing on Chris Martin.
Reading retreated deeper and deeper as Fulham refused to relent in attack. Aluko twisted and turned away from Joey van den Berg down the right before finding Kevin McDonald but his strike was magnificently tipped over by al-Habsi. His team-mates showed their appreciation before the goalkeeper was again called into action, this time rescuing the ball from Martin's feet inside the six-yard box. Bettinelli joined the late flurry of attacks throughout five added minutes but it was Reading who prevailed and whose fans inevitably filled the pitch.

Like the Windsor V8 in a '65 Mustang, drummers are the high-octane propulsion largely concealed beneath the band's flashy body. Guitarists, we get to be the front end, the headlights, the deep bucket seats, the dashboard — fuzzy dice optional. But without the backbeat, without that unerring percussive foundation, well, I don't need to tell you. The secret of rock 'n' roll is revealed at the first rehearsal: a band is only as good as its drummer.
In fact, a great drummer can lift everyone and everything higher while, without rock-solid hands on the kit, forget it. Nothing is happening.
I'm a guitarist, focused on guitars, but my respect for what drummers do could not be higher, and their unique brand of driven is so naturally aligned with the relentless breakaway spirit of Anthology, that designing this constructive leather salute, a case for their firing pistons, was a decision that made itself.
Sticks will come and splinter, as they should, burned up like fuel, but The Seville drumstick bag is built to keep time forever, braving the beatings of the road while burnishing beautifully with every mile, capturing and expressing the solid, unrelenting journey of the drummer in all its varied tempos.
My drum-pounding brothers and sisters deserve nothing less. Salute.
Our stick bags are made to last, using the absolute finest full-grain leathers and the strongest industrial grade threads. To top it off, our leather burnishes and beautifies with use. All of our leathers have their natural marks, scrapes and scars, which means these stick bags have loads of raw, rugged personality.

1. not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily
2. restrained in expression, presentation, or appearance
Being a musician is about allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. Whether it's putting ourselves out into the world via a recording or a live performance, it means putting ourselves out for everyone to hear, judge, and analyze. This can be a difficult thing for many of us to accomplish, but also can be intensely rewarding and liberating as one lets their creativity flow. The Reticent to me symbolizes the introverted, guarded, somewhat inhibited person I am that struggles with allowing myself to be vulnerable. However, when paired with the more gregarious guitar (and perhaps also with the always appreciated extroverted front man), I allow all those bottled up thoughts and feelings to flow freely. I don't want a loud or obnoxious strap to tell my story. I want the thick, strong, durable comfort of an Anthology Gear full grain leather strap ... rugged, honest, beautifully imperfect. And I'll tell my story through my music. Reticently.
Width: 2"
• Strap adjusts from 39" - 54" (See our Instragram post for Tongue Tying Tricks)
• For a long guitar strap (adjusts from 54" - 63"), add optional Jumbo Tongue (sold separately).
Top Leather: Aged Steel (rugged full-grain leather)
Bottom Leather: Deer Black (soft full-grain leather)
All Anthology leather guitar and bass straps are hand-made with the absolute finest quality full-grain leathers in the world. Our leathers are chosen for their ability to fully distribute the weight of the guitar across the strap, for a more comfortable playing experience on those long gigs.
Our leather guitar straps are not only great looking; they're also super-comfortable. Between a top layer of rugged full-grain leather, and a bottom layer of ultra-soft full-grain leather, we use a high-density, premium padding, to maximize comfort without sacrificing strength. We give the guitarist the best of both worlds, a streamlined padded guitar strap. Comfortable and durable with style!
Even better, we use only the strongest industrial grade threads, the same threads used to make parachutes and airbags. That's strength you can trust.
To top it off, our leather burnishes and beautifies with use. All of our leather guitar straps have their natural marks, scrapes and scars, which means they have loads of raw, rugged personality.
If you're buying as a gift and don't have access to measure the current strap, or you just can't wait until you get home to take the measurement, there are several factors to consider:
The main functional issue with respect to buying a guitar strap online is getting the length right. Our straps are measured from attachment hole to hole. The best way to determine your ideal length, or that of the musician you're buying for, is to measure the previous strap. If you don't have a strap to reference for whatever reason, we've assembled some general guidelines for length (supplemented with this friendly disclaimer: if you find our standard strap is too short, you can always add a jumbo tongue).
Elements to consider:
1. Player height and weight:
• In general, players who are 6' and under, and average weight, should be fine with a standard length strap.
• Players over 6', or with more weight, could use a jumbo tongue.
2. Electric or acoustic:
• Because acoustic guitar bodies are deeper, guitar players 5'10" and over will likely prefer a strap with the jumbo tongue.
3. Placement of attachment pegs:
• The strap attachment peg on the guitar can be in a couple of places. On some guitars the peg is at the top of the bout; on others, it's placed where the guitar neck meets the body of the guitar. In the case of the latter, a few more inches will be needed, and a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.
4. How low or high the player holds their guitar:
• If the player is a rocker, with their guitar a bit below the waist, a jumbo tongue might be the way to go.
• If the player holds the guitar from the waist up, our standard length strap should do the trick.
$ 925.00
With certain things, I can accept the average, the disposable, the standard issue. Pretty good is good enough.
Just not with my guitars.
For me, it's music, but no matter what the pursuit, when an interest becomes a passion we steadily increase our investment of focus, discipline, and commitment naturally. Driven by self-expression, not status symbols, we luck into a purity of purpose that elevates our life above the mundane at least a little bit — something that gets us burning the midnight oil and jumping out of bed faster in the morning. With a lot of hard work and some talent, we then hopefully reach a point on that climb where vistas we could never have seen from a lower vantage point come suddenly into view, expanding our horizons, enlarging our world, encouraging us to scale even higher.
The experience is like a revelation.
Capturing what that means for me — and for so many other rabid, uncompromising players making the ascent with six strings and a tube amp — is what Anthology is all about. And, yes, part of that journey is throwing off commonplace equipment for gear that reflects and serves our exceptional passion in a meaningful way.
And if Anthology has a master thesis to date, this is it: The Revelator.
Designing guitar straps proved even more fulfilling than I anticipated, but in the course of that process I found myself itching for a larger canvas. I was inspired to tackle a piece that could stand more completely on its own as a synthesis of all of the Anthology qualities. So like molten steel in a blast furnace, those inspirations, attitudes, materials, and aesthetics were poured into every layer, stitch, and rivet of The Revelator — completing an emphatic statement of style and individuality, a commanding coat of armor and leather coat for your instrument.
Basically, I was determined with The Revelator to hold what holds your guitar to a higher standard. The resulting labor of love, obsession, and precision was designed to be both "a work of art" (to invoke the admiring words of some grateful owners) and a rigorously sturdy, protective piece — a monument you carry with you, onward and upward.
"The Revelator" was designed as a special hybrid between a gig bag and a hard shell case. Inside "The Revelator" leather guitar case, your guitar sits in a bed of comfort. Outside, like a hard shell case, "The Revelator" affords total protection under the most extreme conditions.
Built for standard body electric guitars, ie. Les Pauls, Tele's, etc. If you have questions about whether your guitar will fit, see dimensions below.
• Thickly padded soft interior with high-grade, ultra plush suede
• Pliable, shock absorbing exterior cage for maximum protection
• Neck support system with stabilizing strap
• Multi-pocket front pouch
• Padded ergonomic handle, steel reinforced at the body for durability
• 2 padded removable shoulder straps

We don't talk about it nearly enough.
Yet this sinister syndrome strikes every day, all around the world. For any player, it's only a matter of time. For others, the condition is even chronic.
Whether in the next five minutes, five hours, five days, or five months, at some point, you will find yourself needing to play guitar but suffering from PDS.
Pick Disappearance Syndrome.
Well, it's time we finally took off the gloves and aggressively stamped out this terrible affliction. Here at Anthology, we're throwing a wicked one-two punch via our pick wallets. These powerful, proven*, stylish antidotes fit conveniently in any pocket to ensure that multiple guitar picks are rolling with you at all times.
(*Side effects may include euphoria, relentless strumming, amplified confidence, extended jamming, excessive soloing, spontaneous gigging, creative stimulation, and sleep loss. If you find yourself playing guitar for longer than 24 consecutive hours, immediately contact your doctor. If you find yourself playing guitar for longer than 48 consecutive hours, immediately contact The Guinness Book of World Records.)
Together, we can defeat PDS once and for all.
Our guitar pick wallets are made to last, using the absolute finest full-grain leathers and the strongest industrial grade threads. To top it off, our leather burnishes and beautifies with use. All of our leathers have their natural marks, scrapes and scars, which means they have loads of raw, rugged personality. These make great gifts for guitarists!

Not even locked in your trunk or glove box. You never know when a criminal is around looking for an opportunity. But you can rest assured that thieves know to check the trunk and glove box if they don't see anything out in the open.
- Don't leave your valet key, spare key or house keys inside the vehicle.
- Find out more ways to protect yourself from vehicle crime.
Break and enters to underground parking garages & storage lockers:
- When entering or leaving underground parking garages, wait for the automatic gate to close before proceeding.

Regular Health Checkups In Bangalore
Health checkups are one of the basic requirements for living a disease free and healthy life. It is important to get your health examined every few months to few years. This tells a person about his baseline health condition and guides him about the ways in order to maintain his health conditions. As per today's conditions of lifestyle that people have developed, it is very necessary that individuals maintain their health with the help of yoga, meditation, exercises and regular health checkups. Also people then learn about the importance of getting done regular health checkups.
These health checkups are more than necessary in metropolitan cities like Bangalore as risk of acquiring several diseases is greater in these cities. The lifestyle of people has been adversely affected due to great amount of pollution and changing eating patterns. Thus it is very crucial for the people of these cities to get regular health checkups done. There are various organizations and health care centers who organize these health checkups at regular intervals in various attractive offers. Therefore the offers of full body checkup in Bangalore include executive package at Rs4k , Comprehensive package at Rs7k, Gold package at Rs 13k and Platinum package at Rs 1700. These are various attractive offers that are available and can be purchased in case one wants to get himself examined in Bangalore.
So, we can easily gather that full body checkup cost in Bangalore ranges from 4k to 13k which is very nominal for getting yourself examined. We tend to spend thousands on our favorite dishes and dresses and health which is the most important of all, what about it? So, for it, this cost is quite nominal. Full body checkup can help you to get to know more about your current health conditions. This helps you to pay more attention to your health; people are aware about what to eat and what not to eat. These tests are conducted in a very general manner for people who are getting it done for general awareness however these can be done in a specific manner in case these are done for already diseases person.
There are various aspects based on which this body checkup is done. This is referred to as complete body checkup in Bangalore. This involves various tests such as blood tests, urine tests, blood pressure checkup and normal height weight checkups. These tests are very important to be done as this is the only way of prevention. People who have a medical disease history diagnosed can prevent it by regular health checkups. The disease condition will be diagnosed at an earlier stage and then they will also be told about the measures of prevention. Moreover these checkups are very good for the old population and the pre schoolersas the risk of acquiring health illness is the greatest in these age groups due to weaker immune system. Thus if they are examined at regular intervals they can more compatibly take care of their health and save themselves!

Let's get one thing straight right from the beginning. I'm a hedonist, not a green goody two shoes. I've been a green goddess (but not a perfect one) since I was seventeen – dressing up in second hand Hussar coats (a la Jimi Hendrix) and rare satin and lace evening gowns because they had stories to tell; I never did get the idea of Topshop and I could daydream that I was a femme fatale in a Chandler novel. Anyone for a slice of angel cake? Then I discovered a tiny little organic bakery in Wales where the cakes and bread tasted like manna, not glue and sawdust, and if four people were waiting to be served in the tiny jewel box shop, it felt crowded. This was my eureka moment. I can still taste the sweet, sticky cinnamon and burnt dark muscovado sugar in the wholemeal Chelsea bun. That's when I became an Organic Girl; it just made perfect sense and, besides, I swoon at the prospect of a sublime piece of cake.
So why am I here? To talk and enchant you about being an ethical and organic girl. It's my life and I want to share it with you. I am going to show you gorgeous ethical and organic ways to live like a Princess and be kind to the planet. But I am not going to preach. I prefer to inspire by being a modern Sheherazade (no, not the one who married a Goldsmith). Being ethical doesn't mean life can't be fun, alluring, tantalising or a bit naughty. One day I might be talking to Sienna (Miller) about the importance of buying cute, green knickers. The next I might pick up the phone and talk to my absolute favourite eco-warrior, Ted Danson. He's smart, knows how to make a girl laugh out loud and when he isn't being deliciously wicked in the hit drama Damages, he is eloquently highlighting the need to take action to protect the worlds oceans through his charity – www.oceana.org – sign up now! This is just a taste of what is to come. It's going to be fun, intimate and action packed. Look out for my scoops on – the finest beauty alchemists, campaigning princes, luscious chocolate, (move over Green & Black), wild fisherman, alluring style, great escapes, slow food and fast good food, farming heroes, biodynamic wine and champagne, green shoe smiths called Galahad (honestly), to rainforest revolutionaries; it will the best of everything – ethically.
Sometimes, I might be aided by my loyal and rare consort, his Majesty – a carrot haired, true eccentric who I happened to collide with in my fencing class. Why waste precious time, when you could be spending green nights in with a real man who can cook bread and butter pudding from scratch, build or mend anything, and grows herbs and flowers with long Latin names which can be plucked in an instant to make tea or transform a humble pasta dish.
My man has a passion for recycling just about everything, a taste for Single Malt, Led Zeppelin (played extremely loud), steam trains and an absolute genius for finding gorgeous ways to distract me when work is either a challenge or driving me mad. How does he do this? By floating rosebuds to put in my tea (very soothing) and frequently treating me as if I am six and three quarter years old. I receive a five-minute warning before being whisked off on impromptu cultural and educational outing to palaces, museums, funny old stones and enchanting ethnic cafés, when I should be chained to the laptop. "They're medicinal and therapeutic expeditions" he says. He is right. I recommend the National Portrait Gallery on a Monday morning. Go and gaze at portraits of kings, heroes, adventurers, warriors, poets and romantics… people like Lord 'mad, bad and dangerous to know' Byron.
Anyway, I hope I will inspire you with my escapades and ideas for living like a Princess on the budget of a church mouse – I am going to show you how to feed your imagination and learn to enjoy a new culture of ethical decadence, thrift, ingenuity and saving up for treats and maybe you would like to join me in the Emerald Revolution.
The Ethical-Hedonist

Where is the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) movement headed? This paper offers a vision for the future by using an Aristotelian model of virtue to sketch an account of intellectual habits. We argue that these habits allow students, teachers, and scholars to engage in the endless pursuit of learning. We call this place 'SoTL Utopia' as the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning is the vehicle that allows us to reach this destination. While utopian, we argue that these habits will improve learning in higher education through more ubiquitous engagement in SoTL.

Goes around the valve stems to seal off the guides. Does anyone have one of these? Looking for a sample. Thanks, Dan
I don't know if it was inspired by the APCO kit but the image below was posted many years ago.
Here's a picture from an APCO catalog posted on the MTFCI forum:
WOW! I'm surprised that this popped up after several years!
I'm the Harold that had the "slick idea", which apparently impressed Seth Harbuck, because he's the one that drew and posted the drawing after I posted a verbal description of the valve guide seals I made out of common Lowes or Home Depot hardware. (.........a flat metal washer, a little felt disc with a hold punched in it, and a very soft spring,......) A couple bucks worth of cheap common generic parts, and size not really critical.
I installed these on the four intake valves on my '23 roadster that has worn valve guides, and they work very well. Did not install on exhaust valves as I was not sure how they'd hold up (the felt) with so much more heat on the exhaust valves/guides than the cool intake valves, plus, vacuum tends to pull oil up thru' the intake valve guides, but NOT thru' the exhaust valve guides as there is no vacuum present on the exhaust valve guides anyway.
Hey,....what ever happened to Seth Harbuck anyway???
Oops,....I forgot about the little note that says "modified by Ken Kopsky". No wonder you remembered this Ken,.....thanks for posting,......harold
Dang! As Unca' Stan says,....poofread, poofread!!! Meant to say a little felt disc with a "HOLE" punched in it!
Check your e-mail at home , Harold !
I made a hood for Seth's speedster then he turned around and sold it. He moved on to other things the last I heard. His skills weren't appreciated by some here.
Harold - I think the original drawing had the guide flat at the valve spring and I just change it to raised. The concept remained unchanged. Thanks for the great idea.
Posted these under Accessory Of The Day back in 2010
"...Without tools of any kind."
I'd like to see that happen.
Dan - If you're going to make them, I'll take a set. Would the price still be .50 like it says above?

Moon opposes Saturn, 8:57 PM: With this aspect we can over think our position on our choices and begin to doubt ourselves. Emotional responsibilities can feel heavy this evening.
Moon sextile Uranus, 9:54 PM: We are a bit more upbeat in the later part of the evening. We are looking for something to entertain us!

Hi buddy, are you starting out playing guitar? If yes, then today, I will show you one of my favorite guitars reviews for starter: the Yamaha F325 review
Yamaha F325 Folk Guitar Natural Review
Yamaha which is a renowned name is well known for its contribution to the automobile, electronics and marine industry (vehicles-motorcycles, boat, engine, snowmobiles sound systems, etc.).
Unknown to many, Yamaha has been making instruments (musical keyboards, guitar, etc.) for over six decades. Surprised yeah?
That's a lot of experience they have on their resume I have to confess. Yamaha does offer some of the best pocket-friendly guitars you can find on the market today.
Yamaha guitars have been a favorite of countless celebrities over the years inclusive of John Lennon, Bob Marley, Brian May, Paul McCartney and a host of others.
The Yamaha F-series have a lot of acoustic models including the F325, and the F-series is mostly an entry level Yamaha guitar category
I ordered a Yamaha F325 guitar and was wowed by its look, but at the same disappointed it came without a case. Well, at its price range, it is quite understandable, so I went ahead to see what it is made up of.
The Yamaha F325 acoustic guitar is a great guitar I have to confess with its classic full dreadnought finesse look and shape. It produces a great sound that is mellow and quite pleasing with impressive resonance.
The Yamaha F325 I am reviewing is a Folk Acoustic Guitar.
The sound is not too loud or too quiet; it just sounds perfect for its value.
Although, I would say you should not expect it to sound like its expensive counterparts in the market. In all, it stays in tune and still offers great value for money at its price range.
I have played several small budget guitars, and one of the problems common with them is their inability to stay in tune. This is mainly due to the quality of the tuners used (low quality) and the instability of the strings causing the guitar to go off-tune.
This can be very annoying for guitar players during especially during practice sessions.
That they have low-quality tuners, so the strings do not stay in place, causing your guitar to go out of tune unexpectedly. This can be quite the nuisance while practicing.
You won't have a problem if you need a backup while singing because the Yamaha F325 is an excellent backup option.
Furthermore, it has a firm and solid build quality that you don't have to worry much about its durability.
The Yamaha F325 acoustic guitar is best for beginners to intermediate players as it is easy to play and needs little or no tuning out of the box. So if you are a beginner and want to learn the basics of guitar playing, the Yamaha F325 is a great option.
As at today, the Yamaha F325 guitar is a very famous guitar, and this is mainly due to its stability in tune, its build quality, and unusual sound.
One significant aspect about the F325 is you don't have to break the bank to purchase one like every other Yamaha guitar. They are generally affordable in their category but still delivering top performances.
Yamaha F325 Review: Build Quality
The Yamaha F325 Guitar Natural may be affordable, but it has this premium and rich feel and look unlike other guitars in its category, with flimsy plastic pick guards and an average finish. These features place it in high shoulders with some great guitars we have in the market today
As mentioned higher the build quality of the Yamaha F325 is a solid one. It has a full classic dreadnought shaped body with a non-cutaway construction. You can also notice the laminate spruce top which is quite sturdy with its glossy finish.
The Yamaha F325 cis a tough one as it can withstand harsh conditions that instruments are mostly subjected to when they are moved around.
The Top panel has a native binding, and Nato wood was used in making the neck of the Yamaha F325 guitar. The dovetail joint which is found at the neck is set at the standard 14th fret.
If your hands are not as small as mine, the neck of the Yamaha F325 will feel quite good. The nut is one 11/16-inch-wide; there are 20 frets (14 free) and dot position inlays with a 25 ½-inch scale.
The Chrome die-cast tuners in the F325 adds the most premium look to the guitar without the price.
Also, the steel truss rod found in the neck of the Yamaha F325 keeps it straight despite the tension of the strings observed.
On further examination, I observed that the back and sides of the Yamaha F325 guitar are made of meranti wood (a light hardwood sourced from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines with properties of mahogany). I was not surprised that the spruce top was bound due to its price range.
Rosewood was the choice of Yamaha for the fretboard and bridge (the bridge has a deck shape) of the F325 guitar. On the Rosewood fretboard, you'll see a simple dot and a truss-rod that is adjustable.
I was attracted by the chrome-plated die-cast tuners on one end of the neck. The same can't be said of the other end as there is a compensated plastic bridge saddle.
Personally, one downside to me is the lack of more than one strap pin. I was unhappy with that and tend to ask why manufacturers limit us to just one?
That notwithstanding, the Yamaha F325 guitar is well put together. Although there are a few imperfections, here and there. I love the high gloss polish used and the tortoise shell pickguard as it gives it a unique style.
Yamaha F325 Review: Sound Quality
For its price range, the Yamaha F325 guitar provides a great and resonating sound. It is kept in tune by the steel truss rod and the tuner found at the neck.
The sound is relatively balanced with each string when I ran a few scales with a warm tone. The Rosewood fingerboard has its part to play as it adds to the tone quality of the Yamaha F325 guitar.
One of the great features of the Yamaha F325 guitar is the laminated spruce top. The spruce top contributes to the resonance and overall volume of the guitar.
The Yamaha F325 has great versatility as it can be used by beginners as well as those who have been playing guitar for years.
I have to say that the Yamaha F325 in the review has a pretty high action which is not surprising as I have observed same in other acoustic guitars I have played with. You can adjust this to your choice by purchasing a tool that can be obtained from most guitar supply stores.
The Yamaha F323 guitar can be used privately or for performances as at when required because of its audio capability.
Although the Yamaha F325 guitar lacks an electric output amplifier, it still produces decent sound for its price.
Yamaha F325 Review: Pros and Cons
- One thing I love about the Yamaha F325 guitar is the stability it offers
- The Yamaha F325 guitar is also fun to play
- It also has a sturdy and good Feel
- The sound produced is amazing
- It stays in tune
- Needs little or no tuning out of the box
- It lacks an electric output amplifier
- It does come with a case
- It lacks a strap at the neck side of the guitar
Yamaha F325 Review: Editor's Rating Card
Head and Neck
The quality of materials used for the head and the neck of the Yamaha F325 are okay for its price range.
One of the high points of the Yamaha F325 is the sound quality produced.
The hardware employed is quite decent for this price range. I never really expected much from Yamaha. Overall, it contributes in delivering high performance.
The Yamaha F325 is an excellent value for money for intending guitarists or beginners as it offers the necessary things they need without much complication.
Yamaha F325 Acoustic Guitar Ultimate Review
- Head and Neck - 8.5/10 8.5/10
- Sound - 9/10 9/10
- Hardware - 8.5/10 8.5/10
- Value - 9/10 9/10
If you are looking for a great acoustic guitar that you won't break the bank for, the Yamaha F325 will stick your checklist. With its classic vintage appearance and style, you won't go wrong with the Yamaha F325 guitar. There are various options of colors to choose from.
The Yamaha F325 guitar is a great choice for its price as it delivers superb performance string after string. The dual action truss found in the neck of the Yamaha F325 is quite useful as you can adjust it to raise or lower the height of the string to your choice.
The out of the box tuning of the Yamaha F325 is excellent. Hence you need little or no adjustment when you buy one.
Besides, the Yamaha F325 is easy to tune, and the slim neck makes it comfortable to play for an extended period. It can be given as a gift to music lovers, intending guitar players, intermediate players or anyone who loves playing the guitar. It is also ideal for travel due to its physical properties.
It is nice to buy offering great sound quality with a pretty decent balanced volume. Also, its durability is top notch as you don't have to worry much about it as it will serve you for many years to come.

5th vol No 1 (July 2018)
Kanhaiya has returned to you Kolkata, now 74
his father's rickshaw was broken with his leg
your sky in his eyes had gone unconscious
his scream you had refused to hear then!
Shambhu Mahato is no more, nor Parvati
Kanhaiya has returned to you Kolkata, now 74
he has repaired his father's rickshaw
nobody there to sing 'ajab tori duniya ho mere raja'!
Where has everybody gone? Why are slums so silent?
where is the kind Thakurain? And the little girl?
Kanhaiya has returned to you Kolkata, now 74
to find these souls in slums, and Lalu Ustad!
Old Dhangu Mahato killed himself under a wheel
Harnam Singh's son has 2 + 200 bigha zamin now
and a factory, and a school to his name, a temple too
Kanhaiya has returned to you Kolkata, now 74!
Note: He is the same Kanhaiya of Bimal Roy's film Do Bigha Zamin (1953) who returns to Kolkata to eke out living by pulling rickshaw. I assume he was 10-year-old in the film, and hence he would be 74 in 2017 when he has returned to Kolkata, completely tired of life, both his parents, Shambhu and Parvati, and grandfather Dhangu Mahato have expired; and to his misfortune, his wife too. Old Kanhaiya is back to Kolkata, which is no longer Calcutta.
"Sahab, mere liye to aap baitho,
aap ki peti baithe ya aapka kutta,
sab ek hai," in his philosophy of life
septuagenarian Mukhtar Ali was more clear
than i was, he walked on earth, slept on earth
For him 'vajan' was the 'wajood' all the rest was 'fazool'
sheer middle-class Marxian mumbo jumbo
i know sahab, looking at my legs and veins
you will write poems and make some money too
"naam bhi kamaoge…"
Mukhtar Ali ferried me every day from
home to office, office to home
i was convinced by his 'vajan dalil' (weight argument)
weight is a weight is a weight
and he would charge by weight
Man or machine or maachh or mishti doi or mythology
mattered little to him but vajan brought him a roti
moti mahila will be charged more chhoti less
middle class was chagrined by his humanistic rule
even while going to their gods
One evening a body was found in a Kolkata lane
Mukhtar Ali was no more, his varicose veins
weighed no pain, no vajan, no wajood
only a slogan remained on my city's wall baaki –
sab fazool! sab fazool! sab fazool!
Amrit Gangar, 18 June 2017
As sun scorches your skin at this insane
Kolkata junction, Belgachhia
a chugging tram takes care of him
nor the honking limousine
it would have crushed him, brutally
a bunch of bones
skin showing the whiteness
inside no haemoglobin
he has spent up all his deposits of
erythrocytes, the red blood cells
On this insane junction of Kolkata
many skeletons move, many bunches of bones
jinns are scared of them, ghosts keep away
they carry loads and men and women
pulling them to their destinations
selves getting closer to graves, much closer
wanting no do gaz zamin nor two logs of wood
sticks of bones will burn like incense
skin already burnt awaiting a pinch of ash
wind will fly it not to mountains nor rivers
Wind will fly it to you, your guilt and city's
where politics has sucked away his ecrythrocytes
to paint flags red, where slogans have turned
him into a skeleton carrying heaps of hopes
useless deceptions he was feeding his children with
as dollops and dahi Marx always chuckled at
the city has robbed this skeleton of his dreams
death he is told not be afraid of, bones have marrow
marrow is your power, comrade, marrow is your tenor
your hips and thighs still run and pull, pull, pull
On this insane junction of Kolkata…
skeletons only look at the sky and the burning sun…

RGB-D sensor based 3D perception and simultaneous localization and mapping have been widely investigated in recent years, but still there are remaining challenges to ensure its performance in low-textured environments. The depth image is useful in dealing with such issues. In this study, we propose depth based surface-level feature extraction for the SLAM scheme that does not rely on image textures. Unless the scene is provided with sufficient image textures, our approach can be an alternative solution to the feature association during SLAM.

The Education Minister, Richard Bruton, has blamed "technical issues and a scarcity of willing vendors" for holding up the long-awaited Crana College, Gaelcholáiste Chineál Eoghain and Gaelscoil Bhun Cranncha co-location project in Buncrana.
He said he fully understood the level of frustration that exists in the town over the continuing failure to acquire a suitable site for the shared campus.
The project, which has been in the pipeline for over a decade, was raised by Inishowen Fianna Fáil T.D., Charlie McConalogue, who has asked Minister Bruton for a fresh update on when he expected a site to be purchased to accommodate the three school campus.
He replied: "As the Deputy is aware the project in respect of the education campus in Buncrana is included on my Department's capital programme.
"Officials in Donegal County Council have been assisting this Department under the Memorandum of Understanding for the acquisition of school sites in relation to the procurement of a suitable location for the campus. Despite the best efforts of all parties, the site acquisition process in respect of this project has been underway for a considerable length of time. Technical issues and a scarcity of willing vendors have, unfortunately, made the acquisition process extremely challenging."
He added: "I understand the frustrations of the schools' communities at the delays in progressing the site acquisition but I can assure the Deputy that every effort is being made to advance matters. My officials are currently liaising with officials in Donegal County Council with a view to determining the most appropriate next steps in order to bring about a satisfactory conclusion as expeditiously as possible."

Manuel Lanzini scored goals either side of the break to help West Ham United to a 3-1 win over Everton in their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday.
Argentine playmaker Lanzini, who had a penalty saved at Goodison Park earlier this season, picked up a misplaced pass from Cheikhou Kouyate and found the net from outside the box six minutes before halftime at London Stadium.
Everton boss Sam Allardyce responded with the introduction of midfielder Davy Klaassen at the break, but it was West Ham who doubled their lead with a fierce shot from Marko Arnautovic.

May, 2009 Afghanistan Expedition
During July and August Gary Bowersox directed a teams of scientist and afghans to every emerald mine in Panjshir Valley and every ruby mine in Jegdalek. A full written report was prepared and submitted to USAID/DAI/ASMED.
July-August, 2005 Hindu Kush/Pamir Mountains Expedition
We were not able to complete the 2004 Scientific Expedition due to our guide's accident and our inability to obtain special permission to enter and travel in some security areas. During this 2005 Expedition, "Gem Hunter" Gary Bowersox was permitted to travel from Dushanbe across Western Tajikistan to near the Chinese border to visit and study the gem mines and meet with the miners and local people. Over the next few months, further articles and reports will be rendered on this expedition. For a general overview of the trip go to slide show #12 with it's detailed descriptions.
July-August, 2004 Hindu Kush/Pamir Mountains Expedition
Gary's Expedition will carry the same Explorers' Club flag that accompanied Robert Ballard on the Bismarck Expedition!
(Short History of the Flag)
(Letter from Explorers Club)
This expedition is to expand on the previous trips to gather information on the gemstones and minerals of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan, and their locations. The group of scientists will begin the expedition in Islamabad, Pakistan and travel thru the Khyber Pass to Kabul with a stop at the Jegdalek ruby mines. From Kabul the expedition will travel past the Panjsher Valley emerald mines over Anjuman Pass and to the lapis lazuli mines in Badakhshan. They will then continue the expedition by crossing the Ab-i-Panj River into Tajikistan. From there the expedition will meet Tajikistan scientist and travel to different gem and mineral sites in the Pamir Mountains including the ancient spinel mines at Kuh-i-Lal. The return trip will include travel through northern Pakistan.
(View Map and See slide show #11)
The 2002 Expedition was an expedition through northern Pakistan to Kabul to meet with the new government leaders.
The 2001 Expedition to Egypt and Central Asia has now been completed. GeoVision, Inc. and Free Spirit Films have joined together to film and document for TV the 7,000 year old trail from the lapis lazuli mines, hidden at altitudes of over 12,000 feet in the Hindu Kush Mountains, to Egypt.
The tales of Gary Bowersox, Marco Polo, and Captain John Woods, whose exploration journeys of adventure, intrigue and danger along this trail are legendary, are highlights of the film. Carved scarabs (family seals) and antique lapis statues, jewelry and masks made for the Egyptian Pharaohs were filmed, as well as modern lapis pieces.
The documentary film was completed during March of 2002.(See slide show #8)
In the year 2000, their was heavy fighting in Afghanistan. Therefore, Gary Bowersox elected to travel alone into the country. After meeting with gem miners in Tajikistan and purchasing a 50ct Spinel from Kuh-i-Lal, Gary waited in Dushanbe for Commander Ahmed Shah Massoud to send a helicopter for him. Once in Panjsher, Gary plans was to continue mapping the emerald mining area using satellite maps and GPS readings to refine ground truth on the satellite map. However, the fighting intensified, bombs were being dropped and the valley was surrounded on three sides by the Taliban/Pakistan Army and Bin Laden's troops. Once the helicopter was no longer available for escape, Gary decided to travel the 110 miles by heel and toe express (walking) and horse thru the Hindu Hush Mountains to Chitral Pakistan. After reaching Pakistan, Mr. Haider (owner of The Mountain Inn and Gary explored a new fossil field at 13,000 feet which was located north of Chitral at the base of Mt. Tirichmir (25,500 feet).

Charity or the Doctrine of Charity was not published until after Emanuel Swedenborg's death. For many of us today the word 'charity' conjures up a picture of giving to a worthy cause, either with our money or our time. But for Swedenborg "true charity is the desire to be useful to others without thought of recompense" and it involves a heartfelt delight in doing unconditional good.
In the Doctrine of Charity Swedenborg teaches that charity consists essentially in doing good for the neighbour. But for charity to be genuine it must also involve the recognition of one's evils and the shunning of them as sins against God. The book deals with the practical bearing of this teaching on the problems of social order, government, and our daily occupations. It is a practical and inspiring handbook for compassionate living, providing the tools of responsible service.
Here is an extract from paragraph 40:
Hence it follows that the 'first' of charity is to look to the Lord and shun evils because they are sins; and that the 'second' of charity is to do good. An evil man, as well as a good one, can do good. He can help someone in need, can do him many good offices, from goodwill, kindness, friendship, or compassion. But nevertheless these things are not of charity with the one who does them, but with the one to whom the charity is exercised.
And another from paragraph 72:
The object of charity is a person, also a community, also one's country, also the human race; and all are a neighbour in a narrow and in a wide sense.
That a person is the neighbour is well known. A community is the neighbour because a community is a composite person; one's country is the neighbour because it consists of many communities, and so is a more composite person; and the human race is the neighbour because it is composed of large communities, each one of which is a person in composite form, hence it is a person in the widest sense.
