I didn’t want to write such a negative review on a product from such a great company, but this app is an underwhelming product from a company with a reputation of creating lush resources. There are a generous total of two free lock screens you can download and a link to their store (which opens your browser and directs you not to the store, but the front page of the company website). There is an integrated community forum in the app, which is a bonus but this can be obtained through the DGco Facebook page. I believe the disparity is related to the exchange rate but regardless of the individual study prices, nothing provided in the app or samples justifies such a large price. I’m Australian, and the App Store quoted the in-app purchases at $30.99 on the App Store page, though the app quotes the price as $19.99. Given the plainness of the app studies vs the lush look of their printed versions, it is a no brained to pick the slightly higher price of the book + postage, which I’d personally say would be better value. The app doesn’t even attempt to compete with those. There are many, many Bible study ebooks that are cheaper and can be purchased with less effort. In the sample, you can click to read the scripture, which pulls up a Bible, which is one positive. In the free samples I checked out, you get one long block of text for the study, a blank “reflect” section that will eventually load three questions and give space to type your answer (where those personal comments go I do not know) and the only picture (bar the banner) is an Instagram sized quote on the discussion page. Ease of purchase was not a consideration, but I can only assume the choice was made so purchases could be logged and tracked on the website. Not only are the prices high, you have to create an account with the company before you can purchase material in the app, so to access the studies on the app you need an Apple account AND a DGco account. So many issues with this app but I will start with the biggest: the price point for each study is way too high for digital items that require no printing, packing or posting. It includes space to record lessons and blessings, answered prayers, and favorite passages.Very plain app that integrates the company’s blog posts (in the form of relentless blocks of text that end with three Instagrammable pictures) and studies into one place.

I think the biasing is to make 'em sag a bit more. stuff often sounds vastly different at stage volume. ymmv, and should, of course.īut i'm working in the real world with these things, not playing in my room or at my bench. almost any dirt pedal will sound better with a 741 or 1458 than any jfet dirt circuit. there's really a world of tonal difference. The 1458's don't have that broken glass thing, and don't waste power producing loud hiss a couple octaves higher than the guitar signal resides.įunny, many of my friends tend to agree on this. Yeah, they may mimic a tube's amplification curves somewhat, when CLEAN, when they clip? they clip super hard and ugly. i tend to find that tho i DO like mosfets in distortion, i totally despise jfets unless they're clean. The mojo-istic belief that them jfets sound better is just more internet hubris. better warmer distortion, no more broken glass or hiss. i replaced them with the proper chips, and the amp came to life. if i had to mic it outdoors, the sound guy and audience would bitch. this thing was so damn noisy tho i had to. it sounded good clean, but if cranked was so damn hissy it was horrible, brittle, and unuseable. One of my 5212's that had come in had been modified. maybe good for some things, but in this circuit, all that means is an assload of hiss. and they have just plain too much high end response. they don't clip gracefully, they tend to sound like broken glass. On a side note, i'm not getting notifications on forum posts all the sudden, really weird!! gonna probably take a while, tho, cuz i really suck at doing this stuff. I've begun drawing it up, and taking notes. if they can't help, i'll bite the bullet. I'm gonna shoot marshall an email and beg for the schematic, i'd rather at least try that than trace it on my own. most of it is VERY similar, in term of layout, but some of the part values are different. it puts all the parts numbering off a couple numbers. I think the main dif between the posted common schematic is everything is off a little bit from the way the input is set up. seriously, if ya look at the schematics, they're almost identical! for all intents, the actual amplifiers are all but virtually the same.Ĥr, 30 watts. The 50 watters do use a bigger transformer, but its the same one in the 12-20-30 watt models, believe it or not. Hey bro, yeah i can grok the pc thing, i just had to get a new one recently and am hating life lol The back panel on the amp is marked 72VA but you One difference is your PCB is marked JM78-2 whereas the schematic implies the PCB is JMP27A.įWIW, the 50W models have a different transformer (larger, higher VA) and probably a higher voltage. If you take that schematic you can kind of fumble through the PCB. The other parts around IC1 match-up with the schematic. Next you have the 2圆8ks on the PCB so some small change there. R1 is 220k on the schematic and 1M on the PCB. The lower half of the board is the preamp: You can also see C21 on PCB (100uF 25V) doesn't The designators of the 1k5's not match up with the schematic. The top half of the board is the power amp you can see the 10 ohm, 39 ohm and 1k5 ohm resistor. You can see it sort of matches this part of the circuit, So start with Solid-state, 30W, no reverb, which is this schematic, in some cases the shape of the circuit matches the schematic but the part values are different.Īt least two people have put-up revised schematics for the 12W versions. when the schematic doesn't match you will find minor mods to the circuit the parts designators on the PCB don' t match-up with the schematic! Find the schematic which matches the board as close a possible. I don't know what the hell goes on with their schematics but here's the general way forward using schematics and boards from that era. What I can tell you is the Marshall schematics you find on-line are 'sort of' correct.

Especially as this motor works extremely well with the smooth GM five-speed automatic it’s paired with. Still, with almost 70 horses more than the GM 3-liter that powers the base Vue, there’s nothing to knock under this hood. Of note here is that this honey of an engine is actually sourced from Honda a boon for buyers from reliability and performance standpoints, but a public relations problem for Saturn. Zero to sixty comes up in 7.5 seconds, and the free-revving motor never sounds stressed. It’s a sweet 3.5-liter V6, rated at 250 horsepower, that moves the Vue with authority and utter smoothness. Perhaps the best feature of the Red Line Vue-available in other Vue models as well-is the powerplant. It’s not as garish as it sounds, but then again, it’s not as useful as those subtle LEDs illuminating the console area that we’re seeing in other new designs-nor would we choose to skip heated seats for the feature (required since the color-selector switches replace the ones for that option). One interesting (if childish) Red Line feature is the ‘ambient floor lighting,’ which bathes the front and rear footwells in blue or orange light at night. The aluminum and high-quality plastic audio and climate system interfaces, as well as secondary switchgear, is sourced from that magical new GM interior parts bin that contributes to the upscale feel in the Solstice and H3-looking and feeling as good as anything in the class. Our tester was equipped with a single-disc CD player with mp3 capabilities and an iPod connector. And in a thoughtful moment, Saturn’s interior designers threw in an innovative package-holding system that folds up from the rear cargo area’s floor and does an excellent job of keeping your gear from rattling around. Red Line floor mats are a neat touch, and in general the gray-and-black color scheme looks sexier than it sounds. Silver-faced gauges are complemented by suede-like sport seats, which unfortunately lack much in the way of bolstering. Inside are some interesting details as well. It looks equal parts modern and fast, and we hope that if America’s love affair with the SUV continues, we’ll see more examples of the breed with this much flair. We like the gaping grille below the bumper is reminiscent of an intercooler, set off by recessed fog lights, and the black-out treatment applied to the window area. The Red Line edition adds ground effects, mild spoilerage, 18″ alloys wearing 245/50 rubber, and other go-faster-looking bits that actually make for an aesthetic success. The Vue itself has gone from an angular, malformed misfit to a macho megastar, courtesy of a well-done recent redesign. We spent a week with this hot-rod-Saturn, and came away with some interesting, if mixed, impressions.įirst off, it’s a good-looking machine. Hot on the heels of the hotted-up Ion Red Line compact comes the redesigned 2006 Red Line edition of the Vue baby SUV. So it’s no surprise that ‘feel-good’ brand Saturn has gotten into the mix. Heck, even Porsche sells a truck now-and Land Rover, which got by for decades powering the Range Rover with a 1960s’ Buick V8 making 215 horsepower-now trades on power and sporty feel. It’s a phenomenon that has even spread to trucks and SUVs-ten years ago your average four-by-four was judged by tow ratings, while today their conversations include zero-to-sixty times and quarter miles. Thus, just about every new car on the market is a powerhouse and every redesign of an existing model sports better numbers. Some obscure set of factors has finally re-converged to encourage a climate which enthusiasts find temperate above fuel efficiency concerns, emissions worries, or new design directions, the focus in so many niches of the new-car market is on horsepower.

In this review, we’ll go into the collars we think are the best and the pros and cons of each.Ī Quick Comparison of Our Favorites of 2023 The reviews below will help you make the right choice when it comes to the best breakaway collar for your feline friend. If you’ve decided that you might give a breakaway cat collar a try instead but aren’t sure which is the best choice for you. These collars can be an especially good choice for sneakier cats that like to end up where they may not belong-emphasizing an even greater need for a collar! A breakaway collar avoids that possibility with a safety buckle that unsnaps when it’s pulled with force. You’ve considered putting a collar on your pet, but since they can fit into the tiniest of spaces, you’re a bit worried that he could get stuck somewhere due to the collar or become injured. You keep him groomed and only feed him the best food out there. You take him to the vet when it’s needed. This does not mean that you should avoid the non-breakaway designs in totality, only that constant supervision is necessary to minimize chances of injury or other unfortunate occurrences from happening.As a pet parent, you’ve definitely heard of dog collars, but what about cat collars? Being a cat owner, your top concern is the safety and health of your cat. This is the safest option that you can use on your pet so that he does not get hurt, strangled, or even die when stuck to a specific object. If you previously did not know what a breakaway collar is all about, we believe that you now do.
It has black fur, quite beautiful and shining and has upon its back two perfectly white stripes, which join near the neck and tail, making an oval that adds greatly to their grace. I mention it here, not on account of its excellence, but to make of it a symbol of sin. The other is a low animal, about the size of a little dog or cat. In 1634, a skunk was described in The Jesuit Relations: Skunk has historic use as an insult, attested from 1841. The word skunk is dated from the 1630s, adapted from a southern New England Algonquian language (probably Abenaki) seganku, from Proto-Algonquian * šeka:kwa, from * šek- 'to urinate' + * -a:kw 'fox'. Spilogale pygmaea – pygmy spotted skunk.Spilogale putorius – eastern spotted skunk.Spilogale gracilis – western spotted skunk.Spilogale angustifrons – southern spotted skunk.Conepatus semistriatus – striped hog-nosed skunk.Conepatus leuconotus – American hog-nosed skunk.Conepatus humboldtii – Humboldt's hog-nosed skunk.Conepatus chinga – Molina's hog-nosed skunk.If a skunk is acting out of the ordinary such as:Ĭontact Animal Control (972) 223-6111 and do not attempt to approach or catch the skunk.A hooded skunk skeleton on display at the Museum of Osteology The trap should be covered by a large yard trash bag. If trapping is necessary, a humane live release trap should be used. If the plug remains undisturbed for two or three nights, it is safe to assume that the hole is unoccupied and can be filled. If a skunk is present, the animal will easily push their way out overnight and reopen the hole. This may be done by loosely filling the hole (or holes) with soil, leaves, straw, crumpled paper or similar material. Any suspected skunk den should first be checked to determine if it has residents. This includes securing trash, covering window wells, feeding pets indoors, or if fed outdoors, removing food immediately after pets eat.Įxclusion techniques should be used proactively to prevent denning before an animal moves in. Preventive measures, such as removing attractants around houses, will decrease the likelihood of an unpleasant skunk encounter. For the remainder of the year, skunks are generally solitary, living and foraging alone. They do not hibernate, but they tend to be inactive during the coldest months in winter, when many gather in communal dens for warmth. Skunks are nocturnal, so they are most active at night. The best advice to follow is leave skunks alone – baby ones included. (If you don't have peroxide, baking soda, and liquid soap on hand, use vinegar diluted with water.)ĭiet: Omnivores insects, varied plants, small mammals, and reptiles. Wearing rubber gloves, wash with this solution immediately after the spraying occurs. 1 quart of 3-percent hydrogen peroxide (available at any pharmacy).Here’s a particularly effective remedy that’s safe for dogs and cats, as well as humans: However, tomato juice, in conjunction with vinegar, only serves to reduce the stench, as it doesn’t neutralize the molecules that make skunk spray particularly pungent. The traditional remedy for removing the smell of skunk spray is a tomato juice bath. However, if surprised or threatened, the skunk shoots immediately without warning. Finally it lifts the tip of the tail and prepares for battle. If the enemy doesn't back off, the skunk then rapidly stamps its front feet. First, it lowers its head, arches its back, and lifts its tail, except for the tip, which hangs limp. When threatened, the skunk may give three warnings before actually spraying. Since the skunk usually is a gentle, nonaggressive creature that only uses its smelly weapon for defense, the best way for you to avoid its spray is to leave the animal alone. Once the supply runs out, several days are needed to completely refill the musk sacs, but they are workable in about a day. Each gland holds about one tablespoon of the thick, oily musk, and it can be released in controlled amounts to give the animal five or six shots from each gland. If you think the skunk can fire its weapon only once, you are in for a bad surprise. The other four are the spotted, striped, and two species of hog-nosed skunks.Īlthough many of its eating habits are quite helpful to man (such as bees, wasps, rodents, and other creepy crawlies) its defensive spray makes it an undesirable visitor. It is considered a Mexican species and has been seen only in Brewster, Presidio, Jeff Davis, Terrell, and Val Verde counties. Five species of skunks are found in Texas, but you probably won't ever meet one kind – the hooded skunk – unless you live in the Big Bend region. |
