From : 30th January 2017
To : 26th March 2017
Posted : 27th January 2017
The final phase of a £2.5M programme of upgrades begins on Monday which will see the last section of Aberlour High Street upgraded.
The improvements involve reconstructing and resurfacing the carriageway to help make the route more resilient and improve drainage provision.
Innovative surface water treatment systems have also been installed as part of the improvements which will significantly reduce the possibility of untreated water flowing into the River Spey, a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
This latest phase of works will see the completion of the extensive programme of improvements along Aberlour High Street, and will complete the northbound carriageway between the square and the cemetery.
Starting on Monday 30 January, the works are expected to take up to eight weeks to complete. Temporary traffic lights will be in place for the safety of the workforce and road users during the improvements. The majority of works will be carried out during the day to avoid night-time noise disruption to residents.
The works are taking place following consultation with the Local Authority, Transport Scotland, the Aberlour Business Association, Aberlour Community Association and local residents.
Local businesses through the town will remain open with access to all shops maintained throughout the improvements, and provisions in place for pedestrians. Additional free parking is available by the River Spey at the Alice Littler Park as well as along the rest of the high street during the improvements.
Commenting on the improvements, Andy Thompson, BEAR Scotland's North East Representative said: "We are pleased to be progressing with this final phase of works which will see the Aberlour High Street improvements completed following a £2.5M investment from Transport Scotland.
"The final phase has been planned following extensive discussions with the local community regarding the timing of this final phase of the works, and we will endeavour to continue to keep them updated as the works progress.
"We thank motorists and the local community for their patience while the teams carry out the improvements, and encourage road users to plan their journey in advance and check the Traffic Scotland website for up to date journey information."
Ruth Kennedy, Chairperson of About Aberlour, the Aberlour Business Association, said: "BEAR Scotland have consulted with us throughout the works programme in order to keep us informed of any progress.
"This was considered the most appropriate time to complete the works ahead of the busier tourist season, and we look forward to seeing the finished results."
Real-time journey information is available from Traffic Scotland on www.trafficscotland.org or twitter @TrafficScotland.

Buckeye engineering faculty and staff receive university awards
Five College of Engineering faculty and one staff member were honored with 2017 distinguished teaching, scholarship and service awards from The Ohio State University.
Distinguished Teaching Award
2017 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching in recognition of his superior teaching. He believes in preparing students as you would Olympic athletes—through rigorous training. He is simultaneously acknowledged among students as an outstanding teacher and one who assigns a significant amount of challenging homework.Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Associate Professor John Clay received a
One student nominator writes that Clay got wind of a class-wide late-night study session and drove through snow and sleet to review with the students for three hours—and bring them pizza. It is this commitment to teaching that inspires his graduate and undergraduate students alike, which is evidenced by student evaluations that place him among the ranks of the department's most esteemed professors.
Curriculum development is one of Clay's strengths, and he played a major role in re-envisioning the department's centerpiece courses for the quarter-to-semester transition and the department's move to the new building. He uses technology to increase student engagement and to measure and improve comprehension, and has introduced students to tools they will use in their careers. He creates an active learning environment that combines short lectures with hands-on problem solving and brings with him a wealth of real-world engineering expertise to better prepare students to work in the field.
Distinguished Scholar Award
2017 Distinguished Scholar Award. His contributions have led to an understanding of the fundamental importance of atomic scale chemical bonding, metallurgical reactions and crystalline defects at interfaces, and their effects on the electrical contact properties of semiconductors—the building blocks that drive computers, lasers, displays and cellphones.One of the world's foremost scholars in the field of electronic material surfaces and interfaces, Leonard Brillson, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and physics, received a
Billson's interdisciplinary research spans physics, materials science, electrical engineering and vacuum technology. His work has created a new framework for designing the contacts inside all electronics, impacting the choices of contact metals, semiconductor growth methods, the "reactive" vs "unreactive" nature of their interfaces and the use of "interlayers" to control interface chemistry and next generation electronic devices.
One of his colleagues stated, "Major areas of the surface research in electronic materials—fundamentals of surface and near-surface defects, semiconductor/metal contacts, interfacial diffusion, surface relaxation and reconstruction—would be much paler without Leonard Brillson's illustrious and massive input. Starting with his pioneering work on metal-induced surface states, his seminal contributions to the development of surface photovoltage into a standard and ubiquitous experiential probe, through numerous other milestones and all the way to the complex nanoscale devices studied by Len and associates today, Brillson's scholarly achievements have been truly exceptional."
Brillson has authored or co-authored over 350 journal articles and four books. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Materials Research Society and the American Institute of Physics.
2017 Distinguished Scholar Award winner and Honda Chair in Transportation William Marras is a leader in the field of occupational biomechanics. A professor of integrated systems engineering, his greatest contributions include a patented system that allows researchers and safety professionals to quantitatively assess the risk of back injury to workers who perform material handling jobs and a sophisticated computational model of the human spine. This model allows spinal surgeons to visualize how specific pathologies are dependent on the dynamic loads that must be tolerated by various tissues. Marras formed the interdisciplinary Spine Research Institute in 2015 to systematically improve the prevention, evaluation and treatment of spine disorders through the identification of disorder causal pathways.Fellow
Said one of his colleagues, "I can state without any reservation, there is nobody in the field of ergonomics and human factors today who is more visionary, distinguished, accomplished or better recognized for their innumerable contributions to the science, education and practice of occupational biomechanics than Bill Marras—nobody."
Marras has secured more than $31 million in research funding while at Ohio State. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. He has received the Volvo Award for Low Back Pain Research and the Vienna Award for Outstanding Research in Physical Medicine. He has published more than 290 peer-reviewed articles in esteemed journals, including The Spine Journal, Clinical Biomechanics and Human Factors.
Award for Distinguished Faculty Service
2017 President and Provost's Award for Distinguished Faculty Service. She consistently takes a leadership role in teaching, administrative and curricular matters, and her contributions have transformed the Engineering Education Innovation Center into a full-fledged academic department, the Department of Engineering Education. Not interested in resting on her laurels, Christy continues to serve the department and the college by developing a proposal to create an engineering education PhD program at Ohio State that would be one of only a few in the United States.Engineering Education Professor Ann D. Christy, whose success in teaching, research and service to the university make her a well-rounded faculty member, received a
Her record of faculty service stretches back to the beginning of her career at Ohio State when as an untenured professor at the time, she participated in the ABET accreditation process and served as chair of the Departmental Academic Affairs Committee. With an aptitude for getting things done and a willingness to lend her time and talent for the good of the university, she is an asset to every project and committee in which she is involved.
While an associate professor, Christy was selected to serve as Interim Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education and Student Service, a role typically filled by a full professor, but granted to Christy for her exceptional interpersonal skills and collegiality. During the university's semester conversion, she was recruited to by the Office of Academic Affairs to lead faculty to think big as they re-envisioned their curricula. She continues her legacy of service today on the advisory council for the University Institute for Teaching and Learning.
Award for Teaching by a Lecturer
2017 Provost's Award for Teaching by a Lecturer.Electrical and Computer Engineering Lecturer Ryan J. McPherson was recognized for teaching excellence with a
In McPherson's talented hands, a once-unpopular course has been revolutionized. Students rate the class significantly higher under his management for his ability to run the class efficiently, deliver real-world examples that improve comprehension and develop a rapport with students that encourages engagement. Students speak about McPherson in superlative terms, calling him the greatest and the best. They call his lectures fun—a word students did not use to describe this class in the past.
Faculty within and outside the department describe McPherson as refreshing, and his efforts in the classroom go above and beyond. He draws upon his own school experiences, allowing him to build stronger connections and empathy with his students. To improve engagement outside the classroom, he makes recordings of his lectures available online for students to review at their own pace, and he provides copious resources like old exams and problem sets with answers.
For his exceptional commitment to teaching excellence, McPherson has been appointed course supervisor for all 2000-level classes in the department. He also served on a committee to reorganize two major-entry courses into three new ones, leading the development of a course on circuits that has proven highly successful.
Distinguished Staff Award
Chad Bivens, a2017 Distinguished Staff Award, which celebrates staff members who have made a significant impact at Ohio State.technical laboratory manager for the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, received a
Bivens has significantly improved the department through the transformation of machine shop operations, including helping direct a significant curriculum change during the semester conversion. Serving as a mentor to more than 1,300 students, he has provided unique hands-on, experiential learning for students throughout their time at Ohio State.
One nominator stated, "Over the past six years, Chad has become an indispensable part of our organization. In MAE, we pride ourselves on the quality of our teaching, and he is without question one of the best teachers in the department and a valued resource in every way."

Quarterly Update #1
1) Take some time off from family planning and enjoy the family I've built.
Enjoy the wonderful kids (and hub!) I have.
More or less. I have not really re-started my cycle (I had it once, when I had the stomach virus, but not since). I have mentioned trying again, again once or twice. Hub eventually suggested seeing a couples therapist.. so we're pretty far apart in what we want additional kid wise:/
2) Read 12 books. Any books. Enjoy them.
I've read 2 and am starting a third:
The Whistler
Apprentice in Death
Don't You Cry
3) Run the June 5k in under 28 minutes. Still on here from
years ago 3 years ago.
I HAVE been running fairly consistently, with Hub still in school I can really only run Thurs-Sun, and I'm not really in the shape to run 4 days in a row. I aim for 3 runs in 7 days, but have been getting 3 runs in 8. Not too bad. I should be on week 11 of a 10K app, so this is in reach
4) Pay down 30,000 in debt and keep up with other money goals (college savings, retirement etc)- we're doing Dave Ramsey. Working successfully so far.
Yes! I got a nice bonus and we've been really good with budgeting so we're more than ½ way to goal J
5) Re-do the kitchen- at long last.
I REALLY hope this is this year, but I am waiting for a good price to sell some stock. All depends on the market.
We decided not to sell stock at the most recent opportunity. Will reassess next time. We don't want to make the decision to sell and regret it. Clearly the kitchen is work-able- we've been in our home for 6 years.
6) A few health goals: Lose 10 pounds, start yoga, keep up with vitamins, cut back on caffeine (down two 2 cups of tea and one other caffeinated item per day).
Big fail. I guess this needs to be my focus.
I did remember my vitamins though!
7) Become involved in my community. How? TBD.
This is still a question mark.. thinking about it though

In 1979, Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin famously attacked what they called the "Adaptationist Program." They accused evolutionary biologists and sociobiologists of concocting "just-so stories" in which scientists would claim a particular trait, an adaptation, was a result of natural selection without rigorously testing their hypotheses. If they did test the claim and it turned out the claim was false, the scientist would create another just-so story, rarely questioning whether the trait was an adaptation or possibly a byproduct or fixed by non-adaptive processes. Most readers are familiar with this argument, so I won't expand any further.
Upon reading material for my history major paper, I came across some arguments by the biologists T.H. Morgan and William Bateson that seemed oddly familiar…
T.H. Morgan in Evolution and Adaptation (1903):
They [Darwinians] have contented themselves, as a rule, with pointing out that certain structures are useful, and this has seemed to them sufficient proof that the structures must have been acquired because of their value (462).
Morgan was an experimental biologist which is evident in his argument: speculations about evolution and adaptations weren't enough. This argument continues over a century later with disputes over evolutionary psychology studies that sometimes make large, sweeping arguments based on poor or little experimental evidence. Sociobiology was one of the targets of Gould and Lewontin, but Morgan was making similar arguments against the natural historians of his day.
Even more eerily though, William Bateson, in "Heredity and Variation in Modern Lights" (1909), wrote
By suggesting that the steps through which an adaptative mechanism arose were indefinite and insensible, all further trouble is spared. While it could be said that species arise by an insensible and imperceptible process of variation, there was clearly no use in tiring ourselves by trying to perceive that process. This labour-saving counsel found great favour. All that had to be done to develop evolution-theory was to discover the good in everything, a task which, in the complete absence of any control or test whereby to check the truth of the discovery, is not very onerous. The doctrine "que tout est au mieux" was therefore preached with fresh vigour, and examples of that illuminating principle were discovered with a facility that Pangloss himself might have envied, till at last even the spectators wearied of such dazzling performances.
I trust that readers familiar with the Spandrels paper will catch the parallel immediately: Bateson accused Darwinian selectionists of being Panglossian in 1909! 70 years before Gould & Lewontin launched their famous attack, Bateson had made an identical argument (although the former put it more eloquently and forcefully).
Thankfully, Gould was aware of this. Biologist Donald Forsdyke notes on his website that in the 1993 book dedicated to the 'Spandrels' paper, Understanding Scientific Prose, that
Gould conceded that "I did not know about Bateson's invocation of Voltaire when I wrote 'Spandrels,' but the convergence is scarcely surprising, as Dr. Pangloss is a standard … form of ridicule." To criticize the adaptionist program Bateson had introduced, not spandrels, but "toolmarks, mere incidents of manufacture, benefiting their possessor not more than the wire-marks on a sheet of paper, or the ribbing on the bottom of an oriental plate renders these objects more attractive to our eyes." Furthermore, examples of the doctrine that all is for the best "were discovered with a facility that Pangloss himself might have envied.
Not only did Bateson make an argument about Dr. Pangloss, he even had "spandrels"! As is frequently the case, new ideas are rehashes of older ones, whether intentional or not. The famous phrases, "those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" and "plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose," even apply to the sciences. It pays off to know your history (which Gould certainly understood).

Tonight was a hill workout. This workout consists of an approximately 2:40-2:50 interval with 2 hills and a minute interval with 1 hill. This set is completed 4 times. There is almost full recovery between intervals although I like to push the recovery a bit as I tend to get a bit bored if we wait too long.
After an interesting week I wanted to run hard tonight and suffer a bit. I took Tuesday off due to complete and utter exhaustion and I had an easy run last night. I felt light and easy on the warm up. Sprightly during my drills and strides then sluggish on the first interval. I may have had a bit of built up lactate and other metabolic byproducts from Nationals last Saturday. I ran my slowest interval first in 2:53. My next effort was 2:44 followed by 2:42 and then a 2:40. I was happy with the workout and I felt like I put in a good effort. What was the most pleasing was a fire in my belly to run hard and a desire to suffer that hasn't been there in a while. I was also able to visualize running cross country and placed each of the intervals into a lap of the cross country course. It is nice how BC Provincials is 4 loops with 3 hills and tonight's workout was 4 hard efforts with 3 hills each. The last long interval served as a good practice for Nationals Cross Country as the finish is all up hill. Hopefully I will have a good race next week and get the opportunity to run in Guelph.
Tonight was the workout I needed to get my feet back under me and begin to believe in myself again. I think I was a bit more disappointed in Nationals then I first realized. Although I am in the mix on the national stage I did not run to my potential which is very disappointing. I have been frustrated in every aspect of my life lately and things seemed to have come to a head. Add in total exhaustion and it makes for an ugly picture. It is at times like this when one needs good people in their life to bring some life back.
Which leads me to a new feature. 'Things I Love'. After some reflection I know I need to continue to strive to focus on what makes me happy, hence, 'Things I Love'. Do not fear I am not getting all Pollyanna on you. I will continue 'Things I Hate'. A little bit of salt to balance the sweet tastes so much better!
Things I Love
Good People: I have been very fortunate and very lucky to meet some truly wonderful people in my life. Whether through sport, school or work I have met people who inspire me and have a way with words to make me feel better. We all need a person we can call when everything seems to be going wrong. That person needs to be an ear to listen with a touch of advice, but most importantly to validate the pain, no matter how inconsequential it may seem. I have one of those friends and she never fails to cheer me up with her open ear and wise words. We also need to have people at work who can tell when things just are not quite right. Those people need to be able to take you aside and give you a pep talk and provide a bit of self esteem. I have a few of those people. We also need a secret ally at work and I have one of those too! I am beyond happy to have someone on my team who has a seat right beside me on the 'SS GLBT'. It is in times of crisis or sadness when the qualities of those around you come to fruition. It is an intuitive friend and a good person who can see a suffering heart with a smoldering dying flame. The true person will know to protect that flame and provide the billows and fuel to rebuild the fire. I have these people in my life and for that I am truly blessed.
I am starting to feel a bit more like my old self. I still have a few issues at present with my feet acting up a bit, I feel a bit of a cold coming on and I am getting a little too skinny. When I get as light as I am now I start to get sick and injured and I am scared that is starting to happen. Saturday I am running with the big guns, another hill workout, then an easy week leading into BC Cross Country. I have a new VFAC singlet to wear so it should be fun.
Happy Training!

A couple of spaceflight-related articles caught my eye today. The first is this one via NASA Satellite Report:
After 30 years of spaceflight, more than 130 missions, and numerous science and technology firsts, NASA's space shuttle fleet will retire and be on display at institutions across the country to inspire the next generation of explorers and engineers.One will be stationed in New York, one in Los Angeles, one at the Smithsonian, and one, perhaps not surprisingly at the Kennedy Space Center. It's a pretty good distribution, I'd say.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on Tuesday announced the facilities where four shuttle orbiters will be displayed permanently at the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program.
NASA Announces New Homes for Space Shuttle Orbiters After Retirement
Of course, it would be a lot more inspiring to future engineers and scientists if the U.S. was spending money on developing new rockets to replace the Shuttle. That's not happening, at least not if you consider the logical replacement for the Shuttle to be another space plane. It was looking last year, with the cancellation of the Constellation Program like the Obama Administration was going to abandon any plans for follow-on rocket development. It now appears that fear may be unfounded. This language is from the NASA Authorization Act (NAA), which was passed last October:
The Space Launch System shall be designed from inception as a fully-integrated vehicle capable of carrying a total payload of 130 tons or more into low-Earth orbit in preparation for transit for missions beyond low-Earth orbit. The Space Launch System shall, to the extent practicable, incorporate capabilities for evolutionary growth to carry heavier payloads. Developmental work and testing of the core elements and the upper stage should proceed in parallel subject to appropriations. Priority should be placed on the core elements with the goal for operational capability for the core elements not later than December 31, 2016.Over at Bad Astronomy, Phil Plait notes:
NASA Authorization Act, 2010 (PDF)
A few weeks ago, NASA announced the White House NASA budget request for FY 2012 (PDF), stating that $1.8 billion dollars be spent on designing a new rocket system to replace the Shuttle (and the canceled Constellation program).I'm a bit skeptical that present-day NASA, with its DoD-like development methods, can bring a project like this to operational status in less than five years. What's worse, the Administration is already cutting back - that $1.8 billion Phil Plait mentioned is $850 million less than the NAA called for just seven months ago. There's also no guarantee that the next President will support this development, should Obama lose in 2012. Apparently, I'm not the only one who is skeptical, as Spaceflight Now reports:
Rocket Envy
[A]n interim report delivered to Congress in January said NASA would be unable to meet the legislative deadline under current budget projections, even if the rocket and capsule used hardware recycled from the retired space shuttle and cancelled Constellation programs.
That report was released before the Obama administration unveiled its fiscal year 2012 budget request in February, which cut more than $1 billion from the heavy-lift rocket and crew capsule next year compared to the funding blueprint authorized by Congress last fall.
NASA To Set Exploration Architecture This Summer

As long as the funding is available, though, they should be able to do it eventually. The concept of the Space Launch System is to reuse the Shuttle's main fuel tank and solid rocket boosters (SRBs), with a new engine and upper stage. There's an artist's conception, but as yet there's no real design. That's another reason I'm skeptical it will only take five years.
The "rocket envy" Plait refers to is the recent announcement by the Chinese government that they, too, would be developing a heavy-lift rocket similar in payload capacity to the new NASA Space Launch System:
China is studying the feasibility of designing a powerful carrier rocket for making a manned moon landing and exploring deep space, Liang Xiaohong, vice head of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, told Xinhua Thursday.Note the article title - China is planning on putting people on the Moon. If the schedule in that article is to be believed, they may be trying to do it in a decade or so. There's a lot of distance between here and there, though, and not just the literal 250,000 mile round trip. A rocket five times the size of the ones China has built so far is likely to be a big engineering project - new engines, new guidance systems, and probably some rethinking of the structure are going to be required. We did a similar thing when building the Saturn V rockets for our Moon landings back in the 1970s, but we had our own rocket engineers as well as some of the former German rocket designers. In contrast, the new Space Launch System looks to be more closely based on existing technology.
The rocket is envisaged to have a payload of 130 tonnes, five times larger than that of China's current largest rocket, said Liang, who is attending the annual session of National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top political advisory body.
China Planning Powerful Carrier Rocket For Manned Moon Landing
Image credit: NASA
If there's one thing that is likely to keep funding for the NASA rocket program going, it's the possibility that the Chinese will have a heavy lift rocket of their own first. One thing you can count on with our government is that they don't want to be seen "losing" space to some foreign country. Think of China as the new Soviet Union. Fear of the Soviet Union's space technology was what got us to the Moon. Maybe fear of the Chinese will get us back there someday.
Whatever works, I guess.

No, not that kind of lush (okay, maybe I am :)). I'm talking about LUSH cosmetics, a company that hand-makes beauty products. I have to admit, when I first saw this store in the Cherry Creek mall I was unimpressed. Just another over-priced beauty shop with average products, right? Wrong! LUSH is a company with great products, and great ethics. NO animal testing, and most of their products are vegan. When you visit the online store, you can even filter the products by which are vegan and which are not, so that saves a ton of time pouring through ingredient lists.
LUSH offers bath and facial products, as well as hair products and a mens line. I was mostly interested in the facial products, as I am always looking for quality cleansers and moisturizers to fit my ever-changing face type. Recently, my skin type has reverted to the oily 16 year-old type, so I was looking for something that would control oil and help prevent breakouts. When I explained this to the clerk, she immediately led me to a few choice cleansers and moisturizers, as well as their fresh face masks. Fresh face masks are those that need to be refrigerated, and last about a month, but are totally amazing. I decided on the Brazened Honey mask, which is designed for problem skin. It's very deep-cleansing, so those with really sensitive skin types might want to choose a different mask. Brazened Honey uses eggs (free-range), honey, lime, rosemary and ground almonds to cleanse and purify your face. I could not believe how soft and clean my face felt after the first use. All you have to do is put the mask on and chill for about 5-10 minutes, then wash off. I almost felt as if I didn't need a mositurizer after using it, which is remarkable. And I can honestly say that I noticed a clearer complexion after about 2 weeks.
For the price, the masks are very reasonable. A 2.1oz container cost me $6.95, and lasted almost exactly a month with a twice-a-week use. The only bummer is that you can only purchase them in store, so if you are not near a LUSH, you're out of luck. But that doesn't mean you couldn't give any of their other awesome products a try! I also love that they are invloved in a lot of local charities. On my last visit, I purchased a Charity Pot, a small containter of moisturizer in which the proceeds go to a local charity, and they are involved in many ethcial campaings, like protesting against the shark fin trade.
I encourage you to check out their line of products and also their ethcial stance. They are already opening a new store in Colorado, so hopefully this means that quality, cruelty free products are becoming more popular! Check out their website at www.lushusa.com

It as a pity that Stoke couldn't hold on to their lead on Sunday, but the match at Upton Park went "over" and no damage was done. I remain in very good form and since October 22nd I have sent subscribers to the email service 19 winners from 26 selections, to be honest, most of these were easy winners and nearly all the losers led, or were unlucky, so it is not even true to say that we have been riding our good fortune.
That is a strike rate of over 73%, but you will see that it is "only"around ten selections per week. I changed my approach for subscribers a couple of months ago and have been giving far fewer selections, the benefits of this are clear for all to see. I am not giving this as a sales pitch, there are no available slots for new subscribers in any case, infact, there is a waiting list. Just trying to explain how difficult it is now for me to post more than two or three match previews on the blog per week, when I am only operating from a base of ten selections and subcribers are paying for those.
Today, I have just one selection and it is rated "very strong" so I will not be posting that on here, but I will put some stats on the blog in the next 24 hours which I am certain will help you pinpoint some future winners, so please check those out.
Good Luck.

Harry Richman was a colorful
Broadway and Movie
musical star. He made his talking debut in the 1930 movie "Puttin' on the Ritz"
and with a title song written by Irving Berlin he could not go wrong!
The title song he sang well (even did a bit of tap dancing!) and he also co-wrote
all the other songs in the movie. With apologies to Fred Astaire, I think I like
Harry's version better. It is a rather non-descript movie and Harry does not have
the talented good looks to have become a matinee idol, he did a rather good
job with this number. It was successful enough to become a number one hit. The
movie also had an "Alice In Wonderland" two strip technicolor which in the height
of the depression was a big thing. Obviously, United Artists thought the talents
of Harry Richman could pull in the box office receipts! This movie is occasionally
played on Turner Classic Movies.
Listed below are some of his songs:
|Recording Date
|The Birth of the Blues
(from George White's Scandals of 1926") Also recorded by Dorsey Brother Orhcestra with Bing Crosby doing the vocals.
|October 23, 1926
|Muddy Water (also recorded by Bing Crosby the same year)
|April 30, 1927
|Blues Skies (also recorded by Bing Crosby the same year)
|May 14, 1927
|I'm On the Crest of a Wave
(from George White's Scandals of 1927) Also recorded by Bing Crosby and the Rythym Boys the same year.
|October 27, 1928
|Puttin' On the Ritz (from the film by the same name) also recorded by Fred Astaire
|February 15, 1930
|There's Danger in Your Eyes, Cherie
(from the film Puttin' on the Ritz) co-wrote with Jack Meskill
|March 1, 1930
|Sing a Vagabond Song (from the film Puttin' on the Ritz) co-wrote with Sam Messenheimer and Val Burton
|March 8, 1930
|On the Sunny Side of the Street (from the Broadway Musical "International Revue")
|April 19, 1930
|Exactly Like You
(from the Broadway Musical "International Revue")
|May 10, 1930
|It Was So Beautiful
(from the film "The Big Broadcast")
|August 27, 1932
|I'm Betting on You (co-wrote with Lew Brown-Harry Akst, and Victor Schertzinger for film "The Music Goes Round")
|August , 1936
|Life Begins When You're in Love (from the film "The Music Goes Round")
|August, 1936
|Susannah (from the film "The Musics Goes Round")
|August, 1936
|There Ought to Be A Moonlight Saving Time (written by Irving Kahal and Harry Richman
|One Little Raindrop (written by Harry Richman, Jack Meskill and Jean Schwartz)
|With Every Breathe I Take (from the Bing Crosby movie "Here is My Heart")
This list is by no means
exhaustive. These are just some of the songs that I have come across
in my research and I will add more as I find them.

Wow! Last weekend was quite a weekend. I went out on Friday night here in Madrid with some girls and we had a great night out! I didn't mean to stay out all night, but all the sudden it was 5am and we were still dancing...oops! We made it just in time to make the 5:30 bus and got home around 6am. I went to bed for about 2 hours and then got on a train to Salamanca to visit Kara, a friend from Carroll. It was great to see the city with a local ;) and awesome to get a bit of home here in Spain. We went out all night in Salamanca, which is a really cool city because its filled with students. (and great because its super cheap compared to Madrid - 5€ for a night out!!) We met some really cool people, and had a crazy night. Hopefully Kara will be visiting me in Madrid next weekend for some big city fun! :)
The week was like any normal week here for me. Classes are going well...a bit harder this semester than last, but I think that is because I actually understand what is going on in class, therefore understand when we have homework and actually do it....I should go back to not understanding everything - easier that way. Wednesday I went to El Escorial, a town near Madrid, with some friends. It was FREEZING, cold enough to flurry, which is a big change from last week when it was almost 70F here!
On Saturday we went into the city for a touristy day. It was supposed to be rainy and cold, but as usual the weather men were wrong, and it turned out to be a nice day. Most of what we saw was stuff that I hadn't seen already which was really cool. I've lived here for 5 full months and there is still a lot I haven't seen! So much I have to do still!!
We started out our tour at Las Ventas, the largest bull fighting ring in Madrid...don't worry, no bull fights - just photos outside. :)
|Las Ventas
After Las Ventas, we went to the Temple of Debod, and Egyptian temple in Madrid. I know, and Egyptian temple in Madrid...? Apparently it was some sort of gift or something. Its really cool outside, but of course we waited in line to go in, and its exactly what it looks like it would be, a stone room with nothing...yep, that exciting.
|This is a picture of my host mom and I at the temple, different day - same temple.

The latest Phil Evans column from the South Wales Evening Post
The latest Phil Evans column from the South Wales Evening Post.
Comedian Phil Evans is from Ammanford. He is known as the man who puts the 'cwtsh' into comedy.
Mental health in the open!
This year's Mental Health Day on October 10 coincided with National Chocolate Week.
There's a connection, which I'll explain later.
If you haven't experienced mental health issues personally or through someone you know, you're lucky, because statistics reveal that one in four of us in Wales will at some point have a mental health problem.
That means, out of a population of approximately three million, around 750,000 of us have had, will have, or currently have mental health problems.
That's an astonishingly high proportion for a country our size.
Some mental health problems, like becoming stressed during a challenging time in our lives, only last until the matter is resolved.
More serious problems can last years or even a lifetime.
They all have a debilitating effect on sufferers and the people closest to them.
Our bodies are designed to withstand short periods of stress, but not constant stress, 'the silent killer' which can develop into physical symptoms like high blood pressure, strokes and heart attacks - or into mental problems like severe depression.
Post-natal depression is something we often hear about, but until the wife of a friend developed it a few weeks after giving birth, I had no idea how devastating its effect could be.
It can last up to a year, even if the new mother takes prescribed medication, and as long as three years if she doesn't.
During the first important weeks when a mother needs to bond with her child, the young woman I know was deeply depressed and completely disinterested in her baby.
Such was her bleak state of mind that, even after being prescribed strong medication, she attempted suicide.
Thankfully, she survived, was given expert, sympathetic counselling, eventually accepted her baby and now lives a normal life.
I mentioned National Chocolate Week because it's been proven that chocolate (the dark variety, in particular) is beneficial to people's mental well-being.
So, we should eat some dark chocolate occasionally, but not too much.
Otherwise we'll gain weight. Not good for anyone prone to depression.
If you ever become severely depressed, the first thing to do is to tell someone exactly how you feel.
Whether that initial talk is with a counsellor, friend or relative it doesn't matter.
It's a major step towards your recovery.
A problem shared really is a problem halved – because it's been brought out into the open.
Shop local:
Well, to coin a phrase, you either love it or you hate it.
The UK is seeing an official Marmite shortage due to Unilever requesting that Tesco increase their prices.
Now, we all have our shopping staples, the brands that we buy every time we shop, but why do we do it?
Is it because that's what our parents or grandparents bought?
Is it time to make a change?
With so much wonderful local produce to choose from, I think I might just start shopping a lot closer to home.
This begs the question, "how much more expensive will it be?"
But here's a question for you: how much of your shopping do you throw out each week?
We throw away seven million tonnes of food and drink every year in the UK, and more than half of this is food and drink we could have eaten.
Wasting this food costs the average household £470 a year, rising to £700 for a family with children, the equivalent of around £60 a month.
How about we start shopping a bit smarter and more local?
I'm up for it. Are you?
Something to look forward to!
This time of year can leave so many of us feeling tired, depressed and lacking the motivation to do things.
It's a curse that so many face and a growing concern.
Part of the problem is the lack of things to look forward to.
Have you ever noticed how much more you manage to get done if you have a deadline?
It's a well-known fact that the majority of people find the energy and enthusiasm to complete a task or get more done before a special event or a holiday.
We all need things to look forward to and our diaries should have enough interesting things booked in over the short and medium term to keep us focused.
This is so important on so many levels.
Life is about experiences, adventure, lasting memories, family and friends.
This lifestyle change needn't be an expensive process, as with careful planning, some creative thinking and collaboration with friends there can be loads of wonderful adventures awaiting us, thereby lifting our spirits in the weeks and months to come.
Go on, get planning, give it a go.
You can thank me later.

In this message the prophet Zechariah describes a fierce attack on the city of Jerusalem and its subsequent deliverance by God. If one wishes to interpret this prophecy literally, then the attack has not yet occurred because none of the assaults on Jerusalem that have occurred produced the outcomes described here. If we regard the prediction as using the attack on the city as an illustration of an assault on God's kingdom, then it is possible to see how such an attack is followed by the salvation God gave.
The opposition to God's city is here said to be universal. Although the other nations may have their differences between themselves, they join together in opposing God's kingdom. This sinful unity occurs repeatedly throughout history and it is occurring today.
The Lord encourages his people by reminding them that he is the Creator of all things who gives life to all humans (the implication is that he can easily take it away from them no matter how powerful they think they are). We should remember that the most powerful nations are only humans, and weak in the sight of God.
The Lord also assures his people that in a way no one can understand he will use them to overcome the powerful forces ranged against them. He does this by givIng to them spiritual strength. In this prophecy, he mentions that this divine strength is first given to the residents of Jerusalem because they were the ones experiencing the assault by the enemy. Yet when others living in Judah saw how strong the residents of the city had become, they also were encouraged. It always helps believers to observe how other Christians are receiving spiritual strength from God.
The prophet also points out that God will ensure that all of those he strengthens will share in the victory he provides. He does this in order that humans will not be exalted as if they somehow had achieved the victory. We are prone to think that prominent people in the church are responsible for the triumphs of God's kingdom, so we should take note of this emphasis in the prophet's message. We are all more than conquerors through him who loves us.

Automotive cruise control systems are used to automatically maintain the speed of a vehicle at a desired speed set-point. It has been shown that fuel economy while in cruise control can be improved using advanced control methods. The objective of this paper is to validate an Adaptive Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller (ANLMPC) implemented in a vehicle equiped with standard production Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Application and analysis of Model Predictive Control utilizing road grade preview information has been reported by many authors, namely for commercial vehicles. The authors reported simulations and application of linear and nonlinear MPC based on models with fixed parameters, which may lead to inaccurate results in the real world driving conditions. The significant noise factors are namely vehicle mass, actual weather conditions, fuel type, etc. In the ANLMPC approach, the vehicle and fuel model parameters are adapted automatically, so accuracy of the prediction is ensured. The adaptation is implemented by a Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithm and the numerical robustness is improved by adopting Bierman's implementation with exponential/directional forgetting, and with suitable RLS stopping condition. The ANLMPC has been validated in real world driving conditions running in a production PCM module of a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), showing up to 2.4% fuel economy improvement in average compared to the production cruise controller with the same time of arrival. It has been confirmed that the ANLMPC can be run in a standard PCM module with single precision arithmetic, together with its other powertrain control functions.

|I am building a side car and was going to use a Flex Ride adjustable torsion axle. The axle is rated for 550 Lb. California Side Car used to use an early version of the torsion axle. A recommended upgrade for this car includes the Flex Ride torsion axle. Does anybody have any info on using the Flex Ride. Torsion axle. The part number is FR-550-S.

|I have torsion axles on my bike trailer. Love them, independent suspension is the only way to go there. I don't see much difference in torsion or standard swing arm IMO on a hack. The adjustment might be a little different, if present at all, and the mounts are of course completely different. I did a little bit of research on this and found out there really was a lot of design differences. It requires a nice, beefy part of the frame to have torsion against. This sort of reinforcement wasn't easy to retrofit, so I stayed with a modified standard setup. It occurs to me you could make sure your frame was compatible with both kinds of suspension if you changed your mind later. Personally, I think you'd be more than happy with the torsion setup, but it's a lot easier to switch if you think about it before you lay any steel down.

|When we use these type of suspension units (only on commercial cargo sidecars, no passenger sidecars) we use units from UCF America that have the swing arm held on with splines, this way when you buy a pair you have enough for two sidecars as you can flip the swing arm over. Also we can cut the swing arm changing its length which of course also changes its spring rates and we can weld on mounts for a disk brake with out having to worry about the heat of welding damaging the rubber portions of the unit.

|Is there a reason that the rubber torsion axle is only used on cargo cars?
Posts: 1619
|Cargo usually does not complain about poor ride quality. You get a much better ride with a longer swing arm and a proper spring shock set up.

|Good to know. That makes all the difference. I guess that makes up my mind as far as a suspension system for my project. It is a bit confusing trying to source all the parts required for the suspension system. I have no problem fabbing the body and frame, just need to source the 16" spoke wheel, swing arm, shock/spring, arm assembly and anything else to complete the wheel/suspension system.

|I'm attempting Lonnie Cook's suspension upgrade. It occurs to me you might want to take a peek at that. Basically, you get a spindle, hub, tire, and wheel from a trailer supply place. I went with Tractor Supply, they're all over here and everything is standard. I'm thinking about $150 for the whole thing. I found a shock to fit for around $25 (although I might do a different one). All you need is the swingarm, which is the part I'm having made, and the tower to mount it to (which is welded to the frame & I don't plan on modifying). Honestly, if I were designing from scratch instead of modifying based on someone else's basic plans, I'd probably pay someone like Jay to see if my idea was any good. Note that my car needs to be heavier, so any reinforcement or anything that adds weight is a good thing for me. That is pretty much the one thing on a sidecar that makes all the difference, and you can't change once you decide. (Mostly. I mean you can rebuild everything like I'm doing, I guess.)

|One thing to keep in mind with trailer hubs, while it can be done, they are not easy to add a brake to. I know, brakes just slow you down but some times that can be a good thing.
We do make a hub that fits where a trailer hub would that has a brake rotor and we have a kit for installing the caliper.

|I've been running a adjustable flex axel about a year. And really enjoy it on a Cozy side with reinforced frame on a Triumph Bonneville. I used the adj.axel because 550 lb. was light on I could find. It has a 1"by 2" arm between axel and the rubber,so I pulled it off the splined rubbers added 2.5" more length and offset so it would mis the wheel. NowI think it's 250lb. Torsion axel. Make sure keep wheel vertical wire frame.Rudyr

How is climate change going to influence our day-to-day life? More alcoholic wines, greener dishes with less protein, creepy crawlies on the menu, more farmed fish in our trolleys, new tourist destinations, revolutionary transport, a changing landscape and a thermometer that goes off the scale, especially in the cities. Our day-to-day life should be very different in 2050! Written in a simple style that everyone can follow, without doom and gloom or denial, this book may well surprise you.
A book to find out everything about chocolate, from growing the cocoa tree through all the cocoa processing stages. Discover the secrets of its smell, the art of chocolate-making, its tasting pleasures and its virtues. A fascinating work written by a scientist specialising in cocoa and a huge lover of chocolate.
Environmental changes have an impact on the distribution and abundance of birds and on the demographic, physiological and behavioural mechanisms. This richly-illustrated, scientifically-based work presents clearly the for and against of new living environments facing birds and some of the mechanisms they can use to adapt to them.
An invitation to journey through the world of marine birds which have colonised all the oceans of the globe, from tropical waters to the polar seas. The restrictions of the marine environment have forced them to adapt in remarkable fashion from a morphological, physiological and behavioural perspective. They hold numerous records within the winged fraternity (never-ending journeys, abyssal dives or spectacular migrations) and bear witness to the disruptions affecting the marine ecosystems.
The author relates unusual stories with tremendous humour, including the one about the little bug that blocked the construction of a motorway for two years or the one about "femmes fatales" or vamps (in fireflies!). Single-parent families also feature (case of parthenogenesis), as are the urban hives. The eighth plague of Egypt may well remind us that, since Antiquity, men have had to combat certain insects that devoured their crops or infected them with dreadful diseases, but entomologists and nature lovers will understand here that consuming insects is a genuine hope for humanity.
Soils are at the heart of major global issues. Nourish the planet implies keeping them fertile without exhausting them. The soils can also contribute to reducing CO2emissions by forming "carbon sinks". In addition, they are currently threatened by several major risks, mainly erosion, salinisation, loss of organic matter and pollution. Far from the current tendency to see everything in black and white, the authors of this book wished to extend elements of knowledge on soil physics, biology and ecology.
The author sketches 57 invasive plants from Western Europe on separate sheets. He describes their past and present uses, mainly their culinary virtues, and proposes recipes for 36 of them. From those you meet every day without paying them attention to those whose fruit you have already tasted without knowing them to be invasive (Morus alba with edible berries, Rosa rugosa with hips chock full of vitamin C or Barbary figs and the "Acacia flowers" from which comes the eponymous honey) via edible species close to species commonly used in our food (sorghum, grape, Jerusalem artichoke), you will discover invasive plants with recipes that are as delicious as they are surprising.
Good or bad, smells give us information constantly on our environment, move us or bring back memories. This little book proposes following what becomes of the olfactory message, from the nose to the brain, to discover how our sense of smell, the olfactory memory, works and how the odorants trigger or modulate our behaviour.
Without waves and ripples, lakes, seas and oceans would scarcely be more attractive than simple swimming pools. Sometimes their swells become monstrous, ferocious, killer: freakish. How are these ogres of freak waves born, how do they live and die? Do they come out of nowhere? Can ships confront them? Here are a few thoughts on rare events, anecdotes and scientific explanations within everyone's reach, livened up with photos and watercolours.
This book is also available in english at Bloomsbury Publishing - www.bloomsbury.com
This work traces the complex relations established by the plants with their biotic (all living organisms) and abiotic (climate, for example) environment. It addresses the main aspects of these relations and suggests a few notions of ecology to explain the importance of plants in all the ecosystems.

Rep. Ryan A. Bizzarro March 15, 2017 | 12:10 PM
ERIE, March 15 – State Rep. Ryan A. Bizzarro, D-Erie, is sponsoring a Treasury Hunt from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, March 16, at his Peninsula Plaza constituent-service office to help constituents reclaim unclaimed property being held by the state Treasury Department.
Residents of the 3rd Legislative District are encouraged to stop by Bizzarro's office at 1101 Peninsula Drive, Suite 209, Erie, for free assistance determining if they have unclaimed property as well as help reclaiming what is rightfully theirs.
"About one of every 10 Pennsylvanians has unclaimed property – totaling about $2.3 billion – being held by the state," Bizzarro said. "My staff and I are anxious to help people safely reclaim their belongings."
Bizzarro said examples of unclaimed property include closed bank accounts, uncashed checks, lost stocks and bonds, contents of safe deposit boxes, expired gift cards and proceeds from demutualization of insurance companies.
"Residents attending my Treasury Hunt should bring their driver's license or other identification to help find unclaimed property," Bizzarro said. "There is no cost to search the database, so it's important to be wary of solicitations asking for money to help you retrieve property."
Those unable to attend the event are encouraged to visit www.patreasury.gov and click on the unclaimed property tab to initiate a search, or call Bizzarro's office at 814-835-2880 for assistance with the process.

I am no longer a teen but I remember very vividly how confusing a time it can be. I am here to share topics that I hope will help.

Taiwan has recently seen some changes geared towards the welfare of animals with many high-profile cases of torture causing public outrage. Even members of Taiwan's armed forces have been caught abusing animals with little to no consequences. Thankfully, this has sparked some major changes for the country. The Animal Protection Act amendments approved by the Legislative Yuan prohibit and punish the sale, purchase or consumption of dog and cat meat. The fines for such acts range from NT$50,000 (~USD $1,630) to NT$2 million (~ USD $65,219).
Kuomintang Legislator Wang Yu-min, the amendment's sponsor, notes that Taiwan is the first Asian country to enact national laws regarding dog and cat meat. Although some localities already had bans in place, this amendment will be enforced across the nation. Thankfully, the amendment doesn't stop with the sale, purchase and consumption of dog and cat meat.
The amendment stiffens the punishment of criminals convicted of animal abuse and torture, something the country has desperately needed for quite some time. These abusers may face up to two years' imprisonment and fines from NT$200,000 to NT$2 million. Repeat offenders look at even heavier fines ranging upwards of NT$5 million.
Thanks to the rising awareness of animal welfare in Taiwan, these amendments have reached the Cabinet and Presidential Office, where they need to be signed off to be enforced. We can only hope that these laws are enacted and that animals will begin to see less suffering in this country as soon as the end of this month. Without the public outrage seen in Taiwan against their own country and that of the recent Chinese Yulin Dog Meat Festival, we hope that the Taiwanese citizens are supportive of the new legislation.

Rome will map labyrinthine tunnels to avoid collapse of current city
Leave a Comment
Geologists and archaeologists are to map and document the labyrinthine tunnels of ancient Rome, an essential initiative to ensure that the current city not lapse for their catacombs. Most of the work is being carried out by geologists from George Mason University in Washington, and the Centre of Speloegarchaelogical Research, of Rome, and seeks to explore the underground networks of the eternal city.
The project will start in the area southeast of the city, according to LiveScience, and will produce a detailed map of the quarries that will be used to reach the areas most at risk. These tunnels were dug by the Romans, in order to use the volcanic rock to build the city, but the channels were becoming smaller.
The city authorities are worried about the possible collapse of some of the modern buildings, a remote idea what ever happened to 83 times this year alone, the city structures â" from small sections of buildings the streets.
According to Kysar Mattietti Giuseppina geologist, this mapping is critical, since, over the years, locals worried only cover these holes. Now, and through 3D scanning, scientists can understand where are the weakest parts of the tunnels, going into holes that you know to be safe.
Rome was built on top of a volcanic rock, which is strong but easy to dig. Many of the early buildings of the city were built with these volcanic materials.
At the same time, the tunnels have been used to grow mushrooms, for ad-hoc sewage systems, catacombs and even bomb shelters during the second world war.
"It is very interesting. When you're down there, sometimes we could hear people talking up here, "explained Mattietti.

I'm sure you will get a nice dish without using them, but Maldive Fish Chips are probably the most unique and essential ingredient in Sri Lankan cooking and as far as I'm concerned can't be omitted.
I've heard that bonito flakes could be used as a substitute however I can't attest to this. They are funny like things, like bits of wood chips, they impart a peculiar salty, fishy flavour in a similar way for example that fish sauce does to Vietnamese or shrimp paste does to Malaysian .
To buy them, you'll need to locate a Sri Lankan grocery store. If you are in Sydney, I buy mine from Spiceland at Flemington, which is also the place I buy my all my spices from.
Sometimes you might find the fish chips are quite big (as you can see from this photo), therefore give them a quick whizz in your spice grinder or mini food processor to make them a bit smaller.

Progress as of Sept. 21, 2009
I worked on this the weekend of the 19th for the HAEDless SAL. I have to say that I really enjoyed working on it this time. More so than usual. I don't know why, I just got into the 'flow'.
This past weekend was the HAED Themed SAL. This month's theme was background. I pulled out QS Arthur since I started at the top left and that's all background. I stitched on it for a while and finally decided that I didn't like the way it looked on the 32 ct. fabric. So I scrapped it. If you follow me, I posted about it in the past. I was going to try to stick with it and see if it all evened out with more stitches in, but it was bugging me. So I re-started it on some lovely 30ct. evenweave linen (yes, evenweave linen) from Passione Ricamo. A dear friend Jeannie-Maree recomended it and she is my stitchy hero, so I had to get some! Of course she was right, it is wonderful for stitching HAEDs. Stay tuned for an update with a pic.
Simba Update: I had a feeling that Simba had someting going on. His eating habits had changed, so I got a stool sample to the vet. Turned out he has hook worms (YUCK!). Got him over there and got medication for him, as well as my other 3 boys (just in case). The vet said that it shouldn't have affected his eating, he is probably just 'leveling out' in his growth spurts. He's up to 6 lbs. 2 and a half oz. So all the boys are medicated (it's a topical that works for a month) like Frontline. I trashed all the litter and got new boxes. I'll take another sample back to the vet in 1 month's time to make sure they are all rid of the worms and healthy!

Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
I play regular acoustic gigs at a local bar, solo. Just a guitar and mic plugged straight into the PA. NOTHING I own can put out this level of clarity and richness. It is inspiring to play and sing with this guitar. Makes me sound better acoustically and vocally. Does that make sense? Hard to explain if you don't get it. Anyway, this TSF48C rocks anything you ask from it. For sub $2,000 it is the BEST acoustic electric out there. Fast, comfortable neck. Looks stunning on stage.
Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
First off, I do not typically purchase by name brand, but by sound and playability. Last year I picked up my first new Takamine, it is a EG523SC G Style (It has about a 1? wider body) and it was love from first sound. This thing projects like nothing I have ever owned. Even my wife said wow that thing has a great sound. For the money I still think this is the best deal in the $$$ category. My buddies all play the other high end products $3-5K and definitely nice stuff. So I started digging around (that?s always a potential problem) and ran across the Takamine Santa Fe TSF48C. It is more of a high end product than anything I have owned. Honestly I was looking for a more user friendly guitar because my fingers tend to get somewhat sore after the first set of 8 to 10 songs. ?I know more practice may also help?. I have had the TSF48C for a couple of weeks now and so far so good. It actually does not project nearly as the 523 G body because of the standard body size, but it has a great warm sound, and out of the box frets well. It?s looks are a total knockout and the cool tube amp is warm on my Finder Acoustasonic Jr amp. I was already getting complements on the sound of the 523 and this thing I feel bumps it up a notch. This time I admit I purchased because of name brand, I wanted something different than the rest of the crew without giving up quality. I rate the Takamine EG523SC G body 5 Stars because of sound, looks and quality. I purchased what I thought was a Takamine case for my 523 (from a different name brand guitar store) and sent it back due to lack of quality (It had a rub on Takamine gold sticker on the top and the latches and padding on the inside was less than acceptable to me) it may have been a knock off. I had them reorder a TKL case and it is a good case. I rate the Takamine TSF48C Santa Fe 5 Stars because of the playability, Sound, Features and Knockout Looks. Note: The TKL Hardshell case that came with mine Is the dark vinal finish with gold latches, raised top cover and is a quality piece. (However is different than the black molded case shown in product features with the Takamine inprint on the lid). I decided to not even mention it to the store because it is a nice peace for me and I do not plan to travel with it. I am pleased with the product and by the way my wife likes it too! She thinks I?m a good picker and I Love her for it.
Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
Recently I added the Takamine TSF48C Santa Fe to my arsenal of guitars and it is fast becoming my favorite. I own four Takamine guitars and like the others the TSF48C Tak is reliable, strikingly good looking, very playable, and the sound is unbeleiveable. My goal was to purchase mainly a fingerstyle guitar but with the ability to be an all round player. I Checked out the Taylor CE714 and CE814 and my local dealer gave me am unheard of price on either of these units but in the end the Tak won my heart in appearance, sound, and all round quality, and at a price much more in line with reality. I've owned Martin's, Gibson's and others but in my opinion The TSF48C Santa Fe with it's ebony finger board and bridge, bone nut and saddles, solid spruce top, solid rosewood back and sides, and killer cooltube electronics with tuner is too good of a deal for any guitar player to pass up. Order yours now. You will not be disapointed.
Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
I tested this guitar out acoustically. What suprised me was the sound. The tone suggested 12 strings when in fact it only has six. The guitar would sing the notes with clear sustain. It is a flatpicker's dream guitar or a finger-picker's guitar. I did not bother plugging the guitar in. I fell in love with the acoustic alone sound. If I could have only two acoustics, this would be one. The other would be a Larrivee parlor for tight places and small rooms.
Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
I have been a long time Martin player but was getting tired of mic'ing at gigs. Checked out many guitars (Martins, Taylors, Gibson, Guild)and found the Takamine to play and sound the best of them all. Sounds good acoustically but when you plug it in, watch out. Great sound and versitle for the price. Has turned into my favorite guitar. Buy it, you won't be sorry!
- Case has heald up fine and has a high end look
- Easy on the fret hand
- Is a trusted friend at this point
- Love the Sante Fe colors and eagle fret markers
- Other friends baught Taks after playing mine
- The sound is so warm
- When you see it, It brags on its self
- Volume slider could be a twist knob for control
Best Uses
- For me, Small gigs, Church, Home
- Plugged in to my Fender Acoustasonic Jr
Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
O.K. I have had the TSF48C for over six years now and I have no plans to depart from it. I play this Santa Fe mostly at Church for single songs on my Fender Acoustasonic Jr amp which sounds much better than the Church PA. The set-up remains low and smooth. Between this and my daily beater GJ72CE Tak I am set.
The difference is that the Santa Fe is a milder tone and projection. The G body GJ72ce jumps out more and almost overrides the voice when playing alone, but in a group it holds it's own with anything out there.

Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
The Takamine ESF48C Acoustic-Electric is a very versitile guitar. With it's on board EQ you get everything from a silky clean sound to full body crunch. I can not begin to tell you how many times this guitar has saved me. From cranking it out in a 5000 seat arena to a room full of 20 people unplugged, the guitar has always performed flawlessly. A very dependable instrument.
Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
I spent a day driving around looking at every acoustic/electric I could lay my hands on and ended up spending twice my intended budget on one of these babies!! I've previously owned a G-Series Takamine and have been a fan ever since then but this guitar is something special. Once I played it nothing matched up. Finish is stunning, beautiful sound acoustically and plugged in. Downside... it's too nice to want to use live in case I damage it!!! :)

Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
This guitar is stunning in both looks and performance. I purchased the additional pickup from Takamine that fits in the sound hole and plugs directly into the Cool Tube pickup system and the combination is fabulous. Finally I laid down the cash and purchased the Rivera Sedona amp which is hands down the best acoustic amp in the world. The combination of my Takamine Santa Fe coupled with the Ruvera is the holy grail of live acoustic sound. Together that are amazing. It's he sound I've been searching for 50 years.

Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
This guitar was set-up perfectly right out of the box. That has never happened before. I was fully expecting to have to do a little saddle and nut work, but nope. The action is perfect! Low and fast. The electronics are awesome. I play mainly through a PA system. Currently using a JBL PRX712 system through an Allen & Heath mixer through a TC Helicon VoiceLive3. The electronics allow you to tweak endlessly to achieve the sound you are looking for. Much more versatile than the Taylor Expression System (I have a Taylor 414CE). Unplugged, I give the edge to the Taylor.......plugged in....no comparison, the TSF48C kills it, and the action is better on the Takamine than the Taylor. I also have a Breedlove American C25/CRe-H fitted with the LR Baggs Anthem system. The Takamine provides much more control, and a more natural sound. There is nothing I can fault about this guitar. Small details of craftsmanship are evident everywhere. If you take the leap, I'm certain you will be happy. Thank you to the folks at Musicians Friend for a great purchase experience, too!

Comments about Takamine TSF48C Acoustic Electric Guitar:
This guitar is similar to the ESF40C Acustic-Electric in which I own. This is the same guitar Howie Day uses and this is build of that same guitar. They body and everything. This guitar is unbelieveable. Plugged in or not. The tone just makes you melt. You can really feel the tone and this acustic hits hard and rips when plugged in. Get it. I've only played a few guitars including Taylors that can match this sound.
