1 A Single-Stage 1500 W Amplifier for 160 / 80 / 40 Meters Do you want lots o watts per buck? Here s your project! By Frank A. Carcia, WA1GFZ This article demonstrates the ease of designing and building a solid-state, high-efficiency power amplifier using inexpensive switching-power-supply FETs. (Use static-protective methods while working with FETs. Ed) Although there is a wide range of possible operating voltages the user may select, the final goal here is to generate 1500 W output from about 50 V dc input. The gates are presently operated at zero bias, but there is provision for a positive bias input to operate the amplifier in class AB modes. This may be tried later, but the present application is for AM and CW modes only. Fifty to 181 Columbia Rd Enfield, CT Nov/Dec W of drive power is required on 80 The input and output transformers are designed to cover 160 through 40 meters and handle at least 120 V peak input voltage during modulation peaks. The amplifier has been tested with three different output-transformer turns ratios: A 1:2 ratio produces about 500 W of output power, A 1:3 ratio produced about 800 W, A 1:4 ratio produces about 1200 W. All of these tests were performed in the class E mode. Drain voltage was limited to 40 V during the testing. The shunt-loading control in the tank circuit allows a wide range of output power for each output transformer ratio. The circuit layout has evolved over 15 years to minimize parasitic reactance. This is an important consideration in low-impedance RF circuitry. This layout has been scaled up from a 160-meter transmitter that I built in 1996 using 14 IRF840 FETs in pushpull parallel running 1500 W peak power on AM. The efficiency of that final is 90%. It has been in constant use since 1997, using PWM amplitude modulation with a two-phase currentmode feedback converter. The amplifier is built on a inch heat sink 3 inches tall with a total surface area of about 1200 square inches to minimize temperature rise. A slot machined in the center allows the output transformer secondary winding to pass between the two halves of the output transformer primary. This heat sink was sized to handle the extra power dissipation if the FETs are to be positive biased to operate in the linearamplifier mode. A quick analysis of
2 temperature rise yields 130 C / W / square inch. This means there would be about 22 C of temperature rise if the final were dissipating 200 W. Because of the high efficiency of this amplifier, this heat sink has a considerable safety factor even at 1500 W output. Fig 1 shows the finished heat sink with slot and tapped holes for mounting the PC board and components. Two /8-inch-thick copper heat spreaders connect the FET drains (via the case of each FET) to the 1 /2-inch copper tubing of the output-transformer primary. The heat spreaders are silver-soldered to the transformer primary tubes. This arrangement greatly reduces shunt inductance, thereby increasing efficiency. Class E operation requires a shunt capacitor on each FET drain to store and release energy over the cycle. The heat spreaders form one plate of these capacitors and the heat sink is the other. A sheet of inch Kapton serves as the dielectric. The FET mounting screws also attach the spreaders to the heat sink and Nylon inserts are used at each FET to electrically insulate the mounting screw from the heat spreader. The heat spreaders also serve as low impedance connections to the drains and output-transformer primaries and help keep the temperature of each FET constant, so they share the load properly. Fig 2 shows the primary of the output transformer where it connects to the spreaders. The output capacitance of the FETs plus the distributed capacitance of the heat spreaders provides enough shunt capacitance to operate class E on 80 Although this amplifier could be used on 160 meters, additional external shunt capacitance would be necessary to limit the peak voltage on the FET drains. Further, the Kapton insulator would need to be thicker if this final was tuned to 40 The FETs used for this project are Fairchild FQA11N90 rated for 900 V ds (drain-source voltage) and cost about $3 each in small quantities. Their power dissipation is 300 W at 25 C, and their current rating is 11.4 A. Operating class E on 80 meters, the peak drain voltage during the off part of the operating Fig 2 Primary of the output transformer where it connects to the heat spreaders. cycle is about 175 V at 40 V dc on the final. Twenty-two of these devices are used in the amplifier, which provides a considerable safety factor, and the total cost of these parts was under $100. The cases of these devices are barely warm after a couple minutes of constant carrier output at 1000 W without a fan on the heat sink. Although I have not tried this amplifier on 40 meters, other amateurs have constructed 40- meter amplifiers using these FETs. The input capacitance of the FET gates is about 3000 pf each (resulting in an extremely low-impedance circuit), it is impractical to connect the gate drive with conventional hook-up wire. A PC board was built with two transmission lines on one side (one for each phase) and a ground plane on the other. A small area was left for the driver-transformer secondary center tap. This area is connected to ground but could be used as a point where positive bias is injected. Fig 3 shows the PC board. The broadband input transformer has a 4:1 turns ratio to match the 50 Ω drive to the amplifier input. The end of the transmission line opposite the drive transformer is loaded with two 50 Ω 10 W non-inductive resistors connected in parallel. This reduces the reactance of the input circuit and presents a more constant load to the driving source. The input SWR is about 1.5:1 across the 80-meter band. Additionally, a small two-turn inductor tunes the gates to peak the drive signal. Although this inductor can be eliminated, the load resistance would need to be lower to match the drive to 50 Ω, with a corresponding increase in drive power requirements. The match would have been better in this configu- Fig 1 Heat sink with slot and tapped holes for mounting the PC board and components. Fig 3 The PC board. Nov/Dec
3 ration if there were a little more inductance between the drive transformer secondary and the PC board. The gate drive needs to arrive at each FET simultaneously for the devices to share power properly and, furthermore, should have a relatively quick rise time to minimize the time the FET operates in its linear region. The delay between the first and last FET was measured at about 2 ns, which appears to be acceptable. The equal temperature rises of the FETs is an indication that they are evenly sharing the load. The FET leads are soldered to the PC board with the gate leads on the top layer (transmission line) and the sources on the bottom layer (ground). The drain leads are not used; as mentioned earlier, the FET drain is connected to the heat spreader through its body. Both sides are tinned with 3% silver solder to minimize the resistance. The PC board is attached to the heat sink with #6-32 cap screws and nylon step washers (on the top) to insulate the gate traces. The board is spaced off the heat sink with 24 3 /16-inch spacers connecting the source plane to the heat sink. The FETs are attached with 22 #4-40 cap screws. The assembly is aligned by installing four #4-40 threaded rods in the corner holes of the heat sink, so the Kapton is not damaged during assembly. My first insulator failed after a FET mounting screw dug a hole in the insulator while I was trying to find the hole in the heat sink. The threaded rods are replaced with cap screws after the assembly is aligned and the other cap screws are installed. A small amount of thermal grease was used on the heat sink, heat spreaders and FETs to fill any voids. Fig 4 shows the assembled amplifier. Great care is required to protect the Kapton dielectric of the shunt capacitor during assembly. It is also very important to remove all burrs and dirt to prevent damaging the Kapton as the FETs are tightened down. Kapton has a 7,000 V/mil voltage rating, and the insulator in the 160-meter rig has never failed running at about 80 V peak dc input. The peak positive voltage has been measured at about 400 V during testing with the amplifier mistuned. High voltage is also present on the secondaries of the stepup output transformers. The output transformer s secondary lead is #10 (AWG) Teflon insulated wire, which provides sufficient, if not optimum, insulation. The final configuration will have a sleeve of Kapton on the inside of the transformer primary tubes to provide better voltage insulation. A quick test was performed to determine if it was worth the time to package the amplifier into a chassis. The test verified that the design would work well and was worth the investment of material and time to complete the project. Fig 5 shows the test set up. Gratifyingly, the amplifier worked very well under these sub-optimum conditions. Several CW contacts and good reports provided the motivation to continue the project. No test is complete without a failure of some sort, and true to tradition, the series tuning capacitor failed during these tests, so a vacuum-variable cap was installed to complete the tests. The circulating current is quite high in the tank circuit, so the final design uses vacuum caps for both the tuning and the loading capacitors. The next logical test step was to try a larger dc power source, because my test supply was severely overloaded. This amplifier was tested in the presence of several hams after the 2003 Marlboro, Massachusetts hamfest. Al, K1JCL, contributed a large dummy load and RF power meter and Tom, K1JJ, brought his peak-reading Bird 43 meter. Steve, WA1QIX, provided the test shack and modulator. We modified Steve s modulator by disabling his overload interlocks so we could see what this amplifier would dish out. My goal was to see how much power could be extracted from the amplifier with 50 V on the drains and the peak power under modulation. We found the amplifier would make 1000 W at 50 V but required additional shunt caps for 80-meter operation. The class E drain waveform was cleaned up when four 1000 pf doorknob capacitors were added between the drain busses and ground, so as to increase the shunt capacitance of each phase by 2000 pf. This increased shunt-capacitor value allowed lower-impedance operation. The result of this test proved that the amplifier would easily produce 1000 W of carrier. This was the threshold of stability for the tank component values because of the output-transformer ratio. The heat sink temperature was warm but not hot during these tests. We had no way of accurately measuring the dc input current, the heat sink didn t get warm enough to worry about. This test indicated that a bit of work on the output network was necessary. The 1:4 turns ratio of the output transformer introduced too much leakage inductance and was later reduced to 1:2 which, in turn, requires a change in the output-tank component values. In this case, the inductor value decreases while the capacitor values must increase to maintain the proper class E wave- Fig 4 The assembled amplifier. Fig 5 The amplifier test setup. 26 Nov/Dec 2005
4 form. The new total shunt-capacitor value is about 8000 pf per phase, to allow a push-pull dc operating impedance under 2 Ω. The R DS ON of each bank of FETs is about 0.09 Ω; efficiency will decrease if the operating impedance is decreased further. This amplifier was scaled to use larger output transformer cores than I had in my junk box. The next larger size of commercially-available core (1.5-inch OD, shorter, and having a lot more core area) would be a much better design choice. Using these larger cores, the height of the output transformer could be reduced by 50% with a corresponding reduction in leakage inductance with a better aspect ratio. However, the tall stack of cores never changed case temperature during testing. An applications engineer suggested A material should be operated under 150 gauss at 4 MHz to keep losses low, which seems like a very conservative number. Type-43 material has similar performance with a little higher permeability. The A637 cores used were flea market loot. They are older switching-power-supply cores that work well up to 80 Type-43 comes in the same size: inches. Fig 6 shows the schematic of the final amplifier. The parts count is quite low but the layout is very critical to insure power sharing of the FETs. Figs 7 and 8 show the amplifier module mounted into a chassis for additional testing. The amplifier will produce a lot more power at higher voltages, but the goal was to operate at 50 V on the drains to provide a comfortable safety margin on the voltage rating of the FETs, shunt capacitor insulation and output transformer insulation. This amplifier can be scaled to operate on 40 meters without additional shunt capacitors, but half as many cores should be used in the output transformer. The amplifier can also be modified to operate on 160 meters with additional shunt capacitors and/or a larger heat spreader to increase the distributed capacitance value. This amplifier would also make an efficient CW transmitter final if a slopecontrolled series switch were to be included in the dc power source. It cannot be used as a CW linear amplifier because key clicks will be generated as the driver turns on and off. AM is also possible with this amplifier using a series modulator. The adjustment of a Class E amplifier is somewhat different than for other modes, and efficient operation depends largely on obtaining a clean waveform. An oscilloscope should be used to monitor the drain waveform and the gate drive until the user is comfortable operating a class E final. The gate drive should be at least 24 V P-P, which corresponds to 50 to 60 W of RF input power on 80 This amplifier was operated without a load by mistake without any protection or failure. There is at least a 2:1 voltage safety factor in the drain waveform while running 1200 W output at 50 V input. After the initial tank capacitor failure, no other components have failed after extensive testing over a one-year period. Conclusion This amplifier will produce 1500 W output at 50 V on the drains, but the efficiency will be lower than expected. Sixty or 70 V would be a better choice. Steve, WA1QIX, set a rule of thumb at 50 W carrier per device as a good choice for high efficiency. My testing agrees with this choice. A few more FETs would allow 1500 W at 50 V. My next design will use a larger heat spreader to eliminate the doorknob caps added to this configuration. Fig 6 A partial schematic of 80-meter class-e amplifier (FQA11N90).

A capacitor is formed by the two heat-spreader plates and the heat sink. The value of each capacitor is about 3000 pf. This is in parallel with about 3000 pf of output capacitance from the 11 parallel connected FETs. This is the class-e shunt capacitance. Later 4000 pf was added to the shunt value by connecting two 1000 pf doorknob capacitors across C1A and C1B. CR1, CR2 15-V, 1500 W Transorbs for FET gate-transient protection.

No questions asked. This amplifier is a work in progress, and the present configuration provides 1000 W of CW carrier at around 46 V, with an efficiency of 88%. The output inductor runs hot. An inductor of lower value wound with copper tubing would improve efficiency. An AM modulator providing 100 V peak voltage would easily produce 1500 W peak power with plenty of safety factor. The output power was pulsed to 5 kw peak output using a perfect 50 Ω load with 130 V on the drains as a final test. There was no sign of problems, but the output inductor was too small for this power level. I recently found a six-meter linear using power FETs that used TO220 FETs. There was about a dozen configured in push-pull parallel with positive bias on the gates. This proves linear amplification is possible. A bank of RF FETs with over 5000 W of dissipation would not be possible for $100 in parts. Nathan Sokal, WA1HQC, has provided several QEX articles covering the design of class-e power amplifiers (QEX Jan/Feb 2001, p 9; Mar/ Apr, p 60; May/Jun, p 60). Steve, WA1QIX, has a Web site covering several Class E projects others have built and he helps to simplify Nathan s design choices. This is a good reference for determining final tank component values. There is also good information on tuning class E amplifiers (www.classeradio.com). Steve has links to Nathan s information and design software. The Class E FORUM (http:// classe.monkeypuppet.com) is another good Web site for finding information and contacting amateurs building solid-state transmitters. It is normal to measure close to 90 % efficiency on a class E amplifier. This is very nice during the summer when the heat from a tube amplifier wants to chase you out of the shack after a short time.

I am so glad I posted the question on the TA forum for a ranch to visit. Hacienda de Taos was a great recommendation. Selina and Jose made us feel so welcome and gave us experiences that we will remember for a long time. We hiked, rode horses, milked cows and had a tasty camp fire dinner. Getting there by bus was no hassle. The cabins are so cute and has THE most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. This was definitely a hi-light of our month long stay in Mexico. I wished we lived closer so we could make it an annual holiday! Thanks Celina and Jose

But this man got tired of the situation a decided to take matters into his own hands…
With a little help, he designed a surprise box that would give the scoundrel a lesson. He also installed cameras to catch the thief and expose him.
The package contained a mechanism that literally would blow the box up. That would take away the criminal's desire to keep acting up.
The day arrived and everything was set: the camera was on, and the package was placed in the regular place. They didn't have to wait for too long to see the guy showing up and committing his habitual crime, with the difference that this time, a few meters from the house, box blew up and scared the guy so much that he ran away in his car.
Without doubts, that was the last time he tried, at least at that house.

Asphalt 8: Airborne Review
Burn up the track and perform aerial stunts in the latest edition of the popular iOS and Android racing game franchise
There are many aspects to the Asphalt series that prove that developers Gameloft are anything but slouches – the frenetic pace of the game and the fact that this is already the eighth instalment are perfect examples to demonstrate this.
This time around, an emphasis has been placed on spectacle, in particular using races as a platform for some incredible stunts and crashes that come flying out of your screen. One of the things Asphalt most certainly isn't is understated; from the ostentatious cars you drive to the triple barrel roll you pull as you fly over the Thames next to Tower Bridge.
Everything here is designed to scream at you to keep on playing. There is plenty to play too, with a Career mode that contains eight seasons – one for each instalment in the franchise – each of those containing 15 races. You'll more than likely have to fly through these at least twice in order to unlock all the available stars required to open up the next season. In short, the Career mode should keep you entertained for some time.
There's also multiplayer and quick race modes, so the casual gamer and the social networker should get a big kick out of jumping into Asphalt. In truth it's very difficult not to enjoy playing this game as there is very little wrong with it in any sense. The tilt controls are responsive and manageable alongside touch controls, from drifting to using your Nitro boosts. While you do have to pay for the game, £0.69/$0.99 hardly breaks the bank and the in-app purchases never really come into play. This is because of the generous nature of the credits system, which is all too happy to reward you after each race.
The big selling point of this version of the game is the 'Airborne' tag, and Gameloft have spent time overhauling the physics system within Asphalt to make the game tailored towards the huge stunts and car wrecks that litter the game's roads. They truly are everywhere; from roadside objects to rival racers and other traffic, you can smash up and into most things in Airborne. The results are reminiscent of the Burnout games on console, with cool slow-motion crashes and some expensive-looking damage to the vehicles involved.
The physics are great and worth the time spent on them, with your car reacting impressively to different types of impact – and not just in crashes. Misjudge the angle of a jump and your barrel roll will end up more belly flop and cost you time and places in the race. Of course as this is an arcade game, wrecking your car doesn't put you out of the race. It only takes a quick respawn and you'll be good to go again.
The cars you have at your disposal are impressive too, and though the number is actually down on Asphalt 7, there are a host of new cars – including concepts – to get any petrolhead excited. Combined with the impressive and out-there settings in the case of French Guiana for example, players have a lot to get excited about in terms of the visuals on offer.
When it comes to the nitty-gritty of gameplay, Asphalt is bang on the racing line too. With multiple race types to negotiate throughout your career, rewarding speed and skill as well as your ability to smash opponents off the road, there is something for all driving styles. All the credits you earn from your various escapades then go towards either upgrading your car or buying new ones, with the ranking of your car having an influence on which races you can compete in, and indeed have a chance of winning.
The game's multiplayer mode is then a great place to take your cars and upgrades and test them against all the other players out there. You can enter a room and vote on the type of race and the location before jumping into the action. There's even a Spectator Mode where you can go back and watch your race from the perspective of another racer – meaning if you won, you can revel in the glory a little longer and from another angle.
The bottom line is that Asphalt 8 is anything but just another instalment in a racing series, it brings new environments and a different skill set to master. This game is up there with the racing kings Need for Speed and Real Racing – and for straight-up, no-strings fun, Gameloft's latest offering might just have them beat.
It's over-the-top, excitable arcade-racing fun. Download it, you won't regret it.

Although the hotel was new and clean, we had a bad experience right from the start. The room we reserved from the web site was not available and we were downgraded. This would normally not be a big problem except that we needed the extra facilities that the kitchenette would have provided. The associate was unappoligetic saying "This happens all the time" I'm not sure if that is supposed to make things ok that their reservation system is that messed up. The room was modern and clean, but the AC system was very noisy. The AC was so noisy that if it was on I had to shout to my wife just 10 feet away. Also we were on the top floor and there was some type of mechanical system above us that rumbled at all times, vibrating the room. The associate never logged our complaint of notified the manager as she said she would.

Levine & Humphries scored the first goal of the game in the first quarter as Brooke Lieberman scored off a feed from Allyson Shulman. Levine's strong offensive pushes in the second quarter resulted in two more goals. The first was Shulman scoring on a breakaway goal down the right side, and the second was Lieberman , who tapped one into the net to make the score 3-0 at halftime. P.W. Ulrich got on the scoreboard in the third quarter, but Levine's Brooke Lieberman scored her third goal for a hat trick in the fourth quarter to make the final score 4-1.
The defense of Stephanie Bartner, Hannah Davidson, Averie Sheppard and Grace McGuirk kept the offense of P.W. Ulrich out of Levine's zone. Levine's Kelly Rosenfeld, Maria Massa, Abigail Howard, Julie Plotkin and Katie Zeikel played aggressively on offense, while Jessie Reimers had numerous saves in goal.

NEIS is opposed to the continued use of nuclear power both in this country and worldwide. When we started NEIS in 1981, we had four main reasons for opposing nuclear power:
1.) it's an unacceptable and unnecessary safety and health risk because of the tremendous accidents it could cause, like at Chernobyl in the Ukraine, Three Mile Island and Brown's Ferry in the USA, and Windscale, England;
2.) it's too expensive compared to other ways of meeting legitimate energy needs for electric service;
3.) it produces long‑lived and dangerous radioactive wastes which must be kept out of the environment for hundreds to thousands of years, and at a great financial cost to society;
4.) if it weren't for the first three problems, nuclear power would actually be an unimportant energy resource, since so many other better choices exist for us to use to meet our energy needs. More detailed explanations of these positions will be found in the "Literature" materials throughout this website.
Since our founding, we have had to add four more objections to the continued use of nuclear power:
5.) it contributes worldwide to the illegal and unwanted spread of nuclear materials, technology, and eventually weapons, like in Korea, Pakistan, Israel and Iraq;
6.) it cannot efficiently or safely help solve other serious energy-related environmental problems like Global Warming, and
7.) it cannot efficiently or safely end our dependance on foreign oil imports, despite what nuclear industry advertising claims.
8.) there is a great risk of a terrorist incident at a nuclear plant or – surprisingly, much more dangerous – at a waste storage site.
As stated in #4 above, were it not for the problems its use causes, nuclear power would actually be irrelevant as an energy source in this country, since renewable energy resources (like hydro-power, wind, solar, etc.) already produce as much total net energy as does nuclear power; and because energy conservation and efficiency can save us far greater amounts of electricity (and do so at a lower cost) than is produced by all 103 nuclear power plants in operation in the U.S. today.
But, NEIS is not just "against" nuclear power. We are in favor of energy conservation, energy efficiency, cogeneration and renewable energy resources, and want them to take over nuclear power's role, while also helping to improve the condition of both the environment and the economy. This is the direction in which our country should go as it makes future energy choices. This is discussed more in the literature piece entitled, "Energy: As If Common Sense Mattered."

How To Spot A Phony by Ernest Easley
All right ... let's see how good your memory is
tonight. Now .. some believe that there is an advantage
to having a poor memory. You have less to forget!
Don't you believe it! And don't forget it!
I've met some people who can remember a lie for
ten years yet forgets the truth in ten minutes! And I pray
God that you will not forget the truth we're going to
learn tonight!
So .. let's see how good your memory is tonight!
Who can tell us how many books in the New Testament
have only one chapter? Four! Very good.
Now let me dig a little deeper. Who thinks they
can name those four books? Philemon .. 2 John .. 3
John .. and Jude! These are God's special postcards
and what timeless truths we're learning from these four ...
once chapter books!
Take your Bible and turn please to 2 John. These
one-chapter books are much like postcards: they are
short yet significant! They are brief yet beneficial!
These are God's special postcards!
I believe that God has a special delivery just for
you tonight! I really do! And I want to show you from
the Word of God how to spot a phony! Those who look
right. Those who sound right. Yet ... John calls them
They were peddling their poison from door to door
and we're going to learn tonight not only how to spot
them but what to do when they come knocking on your
Now ... look if you will to the second of God's
Special Delivery!
Now .. Philemon's postcard is the only book in the
Bible addressed to a layman. Second John's postcard is
the only book in the Bible addressed to a lady!
Look back to verse 1, "The Elder, To the elect
lady and her children .." So .. who is this lady,
anyway? Well .. we're not told who she is.
Now ... Some believe that the word "lady" refers
to a church since the church is referred to in the Bible as
the "bride of Christ."
Others believe that this "elect lady" was a literal

We colored eggs for the vernal equinox, which this year falls on the 20th of March. I'd never heard of this method of coloring the hardboiled "whites" themselves, but my daughter found a video on YouTube that showed us how. For more on the meaning of this seasonal moment, check out this excerpt from my book. Happy equinox!

Give me a great recommendation of the best place to start for my situation I truly appreciate your help
Posted by James
Stephen worked to recover money owed to me inspite of a chptr 7 bankruptcy. His attention to detail returned me substantially more money than I would have with a lesser aggressor.
Stephen is a reliable and efficient advocate.
I'm glad I had him pursuing my case.
Stephen has my recommendation unequivocally.
Posted by Peter
I have been priviledged to know Stephen for some four decades, first as a fellow student at Stanford University istarting in the 1970s and then, when I needed counsel in both legal and financial areas, I turned to Stephen for help. On the verge of losing my home and in deep distress, I contacted Stephen for guidance in saving my home and rebuilding my life. With assuredness, sympathy and integrity, Stephen addressed my problems and helped me steer my life in a new direction. In sum, I am blessed with a wonderful family and a damn good lawyer, and I am glad to have this opportunity to publically acknowledge Mr. Benda for his excellent work on my behalf.
Posted by shirley
Mr. Benda was kind, thoughtful and a exceptionally thorough attorney. After having just lost my husband, Mr. Benda took time to ensure that I fully understood my situation amidst of a very trying time. He was clear, candid and forthright in our dealings and took the extra time to explain and ensure that he gave me clear explanations when I had questions.
I would highly recommend Mr. Benda to any and all of my friends.
Posted by Angelo
This was a great experience. STEPHEN made something as embarrassing as going through a bankruptcy simple and comfortable.
Posted by anonymous
I was really impressed with Mr. Benda's knowledge and proficiency during our case. He's analytical skills and technical proficiency where used to prepare and present our case resulting in a smooth and flawless resolution. I would highly recommend him!
Posted by mary
Collection of a judgment from my former tenants seemed a formidable task at best. Mr. Benda was contacted and did a fantastic job of having the tenants' employers abide by the judgment and start the collection process. I would highly recommend him.
Posted by jeff
Mr. Benda helped my wife and I out of a financial jam, a tax nightmare. His creativity and thoughtfulness saved our butts after two foreclosures threatened to saddle us with "income" that would have saddled us for years.
Posted by Tom
As a large financial institution located in the Mid-West it was necessary for us to hire legal council in the San Francisco Bay area to represent us in a case where we were seeking the return of a substantial amount of funds. Through a local contact we were referred to attorney, Stephen Benda, to represent us in the retrieving of the funds in question. Mr. Benda was focused and meticulous in the process. His professionalism in handling this matter was greatly appreciate,especially by our organization, as we were not located close geographically.
Mr. Benda provided helpful forensic financial analysis to the case and gave strategic guidance in tackling the issues at hand which was invaluable throughout the law suite and mediation process. Mr. Benda was a gentleman and provided a unique level of wit and insight to the situation. The ultimate results of the mediation hearing were very satisfactory to our organization. Mr. Benda's followup once an agreement had been reached displayed true care and concern that things were completed and that the process moved forward appropriately.
I would highly recommend Stephen Benda as an attorney and feel fortunate to have worked with him.
Posted by Gerald
I will always be grateful to Stephen for his help when I needed a lawyer for a financial predicament I was in. He has a brilliant legal mind and I was amazed at the strategy he came up with in winning my case. Throughout the proceeding I had the feeling I was in good hands and that I could completely trust in how he handled the case. His fee was very reasonable and well worth the legal service he provided.

Hello, My name is Blake 24 years young, I've recently returned back from living, working & treveling for 2years overseas, I am in need of a place to live, ideally somewhere close to public transport for convenience and work reasons (But doesn't have too be near public transport as i do have my own vehicle) Furnished or partly furnished would also be ideal. Things I do NOT do are: Smoke, Take drugs, Drink heavily, And go on tinder hook ups. I am a pretty laidback guy, I love to cook and will of course always clean up after myself. I like to think that I am a pretty decent guy to hang out with drama free, quiet, adventurous, spontaneous, fun and who respects privacy. I currently work full-time Cheers Blake

Graduate paramedic stationed out in Yarra Junction. A little bit about me... 26 y/o graduate paramedic working for Ambulance Victoria (so you'll have a fully trained first aider in residence). That means I come with a National Police Clearance, Working with Children check, great bill and rent paying history/ references etc. Have many years share-house experience - in the habit of asking if you want anything when I go to the shops, always stocking up share bathrooms with toilet paper, basically all-round house trained :) I am moving interstate from Perth, W.A. at the start of August. Have 3 weeks of induction with Ambulance Victoria in South Melbourne, then starting on road stationed out in Yarra Junction (so coming with only a few suitcases of stuff and would appreciate a furnished room and house!). Am delighted to be placed out in the Victorian countryside, I find I breathe a little easier under the canopy of trees. There is nothing like wide open spaces and nature as panacea for my crazy career :) Polite, friendly & respectful, enjoy living in a clean and tidy space & committed to keeping it that way, non-smoking but don't mind if you do. Focused on being a baby paramedic (first year on road), so definitely would not call myself a party animal, though will happily engage and be social with housemates ~ terrible cook but keen to learn/ share the occasional meal and drink, tabletop games or Netflix sessions when housemate orbits align. Omnivorous but trying to be a better citizen of the earth. Must be okay with me having the occasional overnight guest as I adore sharing the country with my city friends. Love reading (used to work in a bookstore) and podcasts, exploring outdoors, going out and enjoying Melbourne's music and art scene when I'm in the city - and adore animals but have no pets of my own (I used to foster rescue dogs as a way of mainlining puppies... would happily petsit for any resident critters). Ambulance works on rotating shifts (2 day shifts, 2 night shifts, 4 days off; repeat). So will be keeping somewhat weird hours, but will always be respectful with noise levels etc. If any of that tickles your fancy, please send a message, I'd love to hear from you. Cheers ! :)
I am from Hobart originally. Still love the place but am looking for some changes in scenery. I like to live quietly, so there will be no problems if that is what home advertisers are after, yet still have a curiosity for life and travel. I hope we can learn some things from each other if I'm given a chance and an open offering from house hosts.
I am a friendly, but initially shy 28yr old with a love of the performing arts, a Pilates studio receptionist and temp worker and also studying natural therapies. I really enjoy running and hiking and love going on day trips with my pack on. I enjoy a community atmosphere and wish to interact with housemates and become friends, not just merely live with people you don't know. Would love to lived with those that share. Share food, share music, share stories, share experiences. I prefer a household without a TV, or at least not have it on all the time blaring nonsense. More than happy to enjoy some documentaries or some movies or Netflicks from time to time though! We can make our own entertainment! I used to live in the hills but moved into Thornbury to be closer to uni, but now wish to move back out again. I need the fresher air, the space, the trees and a calmer way of being. I'm looking for people who can think critically, are creative and expressive, incorporate spiritual practice into their lives and homes and are gentle souls. I like housemates to be considerate of others by cleaning up after themselves, not continually slamming doors and heavy stomping etc. Ask others if they would like anything from the shops if you are going, or offer to do someones dishes if they are running late. I am a vegetarian, but don't mind what other people's preferences are. It tends to be easier for people to look after their own shopping, but more than happy to chip in for veggie boxes in people do that, and definitely up for sharing dinners and baking experiments!! I don't have any pets, but am more than happy to move in somewhere that does have an animal or two! Any questions, ask away!! Thanks, Loz
Still looking for one more dream housemate, must be reasonably quiet, tidy, and nice to live with. This picturesque property is set on a beautiful 90-acre farm 7km from the township of Emerald. There is one room available, partially furnished if required with Q/S bed, has wardrobes. The house is a large homestead and the room comes with an additional lounge/study/ store room, as well as shared kitchen, family room, laundry, and bathroom. Bills included. Horse agistment is also available upon application. It has a large private garden with plenty of space, and walking/riding trails right at the gate and access to public arenas just down the road. If you are reasonably quiet, tidy, and nice to live with you will fit in really well. And if you want to live with your horse/s, this is an ideal share situation with a motivated, happy and nice to live with professional who enjoys fairly quiet fun and a tidy, calm environment. Animal/dog friendly too. If you are easygoing, pleasant to be around, and don't have any particularly disturbing mannerisms when in public, you may just be the right person!
A great home in beautiful Emerald available to 1 or 2 females only. 1km from town. Bus stop to Belgrave next door. 3 minute walk to Emerald Lake Park. Air-conditioning in lounge, fan in bedrooms. Both bedrooms are furnished. Larger bedroom $170/week, smaller bedroom $130/week, plus expenses. No gardening required. I take care of the garden. Backpackers welcome for short stay.

I'm a good communicator and live by principles of mutual consent and mutual aid. I'm clean and tidy and always like to do my share of housework. I've just finished a Bachelor of Community Development. I'm looking to find some part time work and embark on a masters project in 2018 to look at the feasibility of setting up a tiny house intentional community. There is a lot of work to do to get myself organised for my research project in 2018 and this is the current focus. So I guess even though I am not formally studying, I am actually busy with getting everything lined up to commence the project. I am pretty much vegetarian and am passionate about social justice and the environment. My primary modes of transport are a bicycle and electric scooter.

Professional full time (software developer) working in CBD. Seeking a clean quiet room (happy to consider furnished and unfurnished). Expect I will be 3-6 months, but may be longer, especially if the houseshare works out well. Have a small child living elsewhere, so housemates need to be OK with a well behaved child over time to time.

I'm easy to get along with, will always pay my rent on time, and respect others space. I'm both happy to consider an existing property, as well as team up with other people to rent another property.

The Economic News of Taiwan said that Hon Hai joins Lexmark, Kodak, Samsung and Fuji Xerox in producing printers for Dell. According to the same report, Lexmark had subcontracted printer production to Benq, Compal and Funai.
The move to Hon Hai is an extension of this move and the Economic News claimed that Dell might ship as many as five million printers this year, rising to 10 million by 2007.
Sounds like HP needs to do a little bit more to prevent its printer cash cow being rustled by Dell.
