Metaphysical Bible Interpretation of John Chapter 2
Metaphysically Interpreting John 2:1-12
2:1And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2:2and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. 2:3And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 2:4And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 2:5His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 2:6Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece. 2:7Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 2:8And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it. 2:9And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, 2:10and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now.2:11This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
NOVEMBER 23, 1913: John 2:1-11
What is “a marriage”? A union of two states of consciousness.
Who does the mother of Jesus represent? Intuition. And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him. They have no wine. And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.
Who are Jesus and his disciples? The I and its faculties.
What is the “wine”? It is the wine of life. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.
Who are “the servants”? The forces of Being that carry out the will of the soul.
What are the “six waterpots of stone”? Six nerve centers in the body. Jesus saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it. And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worst: thou hast kept the good wine until now.
What is the “water”? The water of life, or nerve fluid.
How does the water of life become the wine of life? The wine, or vital energy, is generated from a union of spiritual thought with the nerve fluid or water of life in the centers of the organism.
What is this process called? Transmutation.
What has it to do with regeneration? It is by transmutation that the vital fluid of the body is set free from the limitations and corruptibility of mortal thought and raised to spiritual essence and power for the regeneration of the body. What is the result of regeneration? The renewal of the body, incorruptibility, immortality, eternal life.
November 23, 1913: John 2:1-11
A “day” in man's development is a state of consciousness. The first day is the spiritual consciousness, the second day is the soul consciousness, the third day is the body consciousness. A marriage is a union of two states of consciousness. Cana means “a place of reeds,” referring to music a sounds in body, the larynx. Galilee means to “whirl” and represents power, force, energy, acting in conjunction with substance. “The mother of Jesus” is Intuition. Jesus, the perfected man manifestation, is conceived in the intuitive nature and moulded in her substance.
The I (Jesus) and his disciples (faculties) are always bidden to these unions of planes of consciousness. In spiritual development intuition is the guide in matters pertaining to the outer world. “The mother of Jesus was there.”
The “wine” is the vitality that forms the connecting link between soul and body. It is an all-pervading free essence that is generated from the nerve substance, or water of life. This wine of life, or free vitality of the organism, must be present in large quantities before a blending of thought, or soul and body (wedding), can be successfully made.
When the I is “lifted up,” there is a higher vital action imparted to the whole consciousness. Jesus said, “I, if I be lifted up, will draw all unto me.” (R.V.) This lifting up of the I is the result of spiritual perception of Truth. When we discern the real Truth of Being, and our relation to it, there is a new and higher consciousness established. This greater energy is first imparted to the soul, or thought realm, and through it to the body.
But this whole process is under law. There is a definite step by step connection of thought and thing, through laws that may be discerned by man and used universally. At the close of the previous chapter to this of today's lesson, Jesus had caught sight of the spiritual realm and said, “Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
This high perception of man's union through I Am with the Divine Harmony must, by the law of sympathetic vibration, be imparted to every part of his consciousness, and this “marriage” is that union of thought in all parts of the body.
But when vitality is low there is cessation of transmutation of substance from material to soul. We feel this in the regenerative process as an inability to concentrate our thoughts. When the Intuition calls to I Am, “They have no wine,” or vitality, “Jesus saith unto her. Woman, what have I to do with thee?” A Bible authority says this is more correctly stated in the terms, “Woman, what is there between me and thee?” It is the questioning attitude of I Am. It is not clear in its understanding of what is to be done. It is looking forward to a time when it will do, but its “hour has not yet come.” We find ourselves wanting to see all the steps of our action before we begin. But in spiritual processes we have to proceed without knowing the various steps. Just go ahead and speak the word, and the law will see you through. The elemental forces of Being, “servants,” are right at hand to carry out your demands, and the intuitive perfection of Truth (woman) within you commands that they do your bidding.
The “six waterpots of stone” are the six nerve centers in the body, which are filled with the water of life, or nerve fluid. That this is not a literal narrative of the supplying of a wedding feast with wine is borne out by the quantity produced. Each vessel contained about twenty-five gallons, and the total was something like one hundred and fifty gallons. This would supply a regiment with stimulant at a feast.
The symbol represents the abundance of vital energy which may be generated from a union of the I Am spiritual thought with the water of life, or nerve fluid, in the various centers of the organism. With every thought we are setting this nerve fluid into a state of action, and it rushes to any part that the center of attention draws it. When we have been much excited or interested, there is a concentration of this vitality in the head, and if we do not know now to restore and equalize it again in the body, we have a headache, or stuffy condition called a cold. But in regeneration, there is a permanent transmutation of this Vital essence to higher consciousness, and a new element introduced into the organism. This, the ruler of the feast, who is God, recognizes as the highest good the giving up at the last of the very best to the Spirit.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1924: John 2:1-11
In Scriptural symbology what does a day represent? A day represents a state of consciousness. The first day is Spirit, the second day is soul, and the third day is body: Spirit, mind, and matter.
What does a marriage represent? A marriage represents the union of two states of consciousness.
What is represented by Cana of Galilee? Cana means “a place of reeds;” in the body it is the larynx. Galilee means “to whirl,” or “a circuit,” representing the life activity in the body.
What do the water and the wine represent? The water represents life on the physical plane, and the wine represents life on the spiritual plane.
What is represented by the six waterpots of stone? The six waterpots of stone represent the six ganglionic centers in the body, which are filled with the water of life, or nerve fluid.
What is the meaning of turning the water into wine? In the regeneration the body essences (water) are transmuted or lifted up to higher planes of consciousness by the activity of the life forces unifying with the nerve fluid at the power center (Cana of Galilee), the process involving the larynx.
How do we know how to perform this transmutation in Cana of Galilee? The mother of Jesus, Mary (meaning intuition), gives us the cue, and we inwardly realize the flow of life and substance throughout the organism, with the center of activity in the throat, Cana.
Does this process of evolution of body and soul ever take place without the directive power of I AM (Jesus)? There is a universal evolutionary law constantly at work raising both mind and body to higher states of consciousness. The spiritual I AM (Christ Jesus) works in conjunction consciously with this law, increasing its capacity, quality, and power.
Is there ever a cessation or a failure in the evolutionary process? Man can, through wrong thinking, interfere with the natural evolution of soul and body, which is indicated in this lesson by the words: “And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.”
How does the I AM (Jesus) start the inner regenerative process anew and supply the organism with the new wine of life? Jesus follows the hint of intuition (Mary) and inwardly realizes that the body is filled with omnipresent substance and life.
What is the next step in the process? After one realizes the fullness of substance, the next step in evolution is spiritually to see the elemental life carrying the transmuted substance to the ruler of the feast, the I AM.
Why did the ruler of the feast pronounce the last wine better than the first? When we consciously cooperate in I AM with the regenerative processes under the spiritual law, we have a realization of new life in soul and in body, which is finer and more satisfying than that which came from the automatic action of the natural law.
October 12, 1930: John 2:1-5
What is represented by Cana of Galilee? Cana means “a place of reeds”; in the body it is represented by the larynx. Galilee means “to whirl,” or “a circuit,” representing the life activity in the body.
What does a marriage represent? A marriage represents the union of the masculine and feminine states of consciousness.
At the marriage at Cana in Galilee Jesus turned water into wine. Explain. In the regeneration the body essences (water) are transmuted or lifted to higher planes of consciousness by the activity of the life forces in unifying with the nerve fluid at the power center (Cana of Galilee), in a process involving the larynx. In this lesson, Mary, mother of Jesus, gives us the cue when she says, “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Through the process known as transmutation we may realize the flow of life and substance throughout the organism, with the center of activity in the throat (Cana).
November 1, 1942: John 2:1-5
What is represented by the turning of the water into wine by Jesus at the wedding of Cana in Galilee? Wine symbolizes the vitality that forms the connecting link between body and soul. The wine of life or free vitality of the organism must be present in large quantities before a blending of thoughts or of souls and body (wedding) can be made successfully. The Christ mind accomplishes the increase.
Metaphysical Bible Interpretation of John Chapter 2
Metaphysically Interpreting John 2:16-25
2:13And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2:14And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 2:15and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew their tables; 2:16and to them that sold the doves he said, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. 2:17His disciples remembered that it was written, Zeal for thy house shall eat me up. 2:18The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things? 2:19Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 2:20The Jews therefore said, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? 2:21But he spake of the temple of his body. 2:22When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
2:23Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did. 2:24But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, 2:25and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man.
Sunday, January 12,1947: John 2:1-16
What is represented by the turning of the water into wine at the wedding in Cana of Galilee? Wine symbolizes the vitality that forms the connecting link between the physical plane, and wine represents life on the spiritual plane. In the process of spiritual regeneration the body essences (water) are transmuted or lifted up and spiritualized (made wine) by the activity of the I AM, the Christ.
What must be realized if spiritual power is to be developed? Singleness of mind and heart. The new consciousness that is gained by this means brings about a change in the entire tenor of one's life.
Why is singleness of mind so essential to the development and expression of power? Because a divided mind and scattered thoughts lead to a weakening of the faculty of power. Our thoughts must be in harmony with our aspirations and our efforts to realize them.
What is the meaning and significance of the name Cana? Cana means “place of reeds” or “rule.” The rule of life is determined by the individual’s convictions or active faith. “As he thinketh within himself, so is he.”
What thought discipline helps especially to develop spiritual power? Controlling one’s dislike of another person and transforming one’s feeling against him into liking for him. Holding the mind in a feeling of warm friendliness and bringing the subject of dislike into that warmth without allowing the feeling to change effects the desired transformation.
Is it necessary always to speak the word of power before it can be demonstrated? In the Christ consciousness it is not necessary. Jesus said only: “Fill the waterpots with water . . . Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast.” No word of command that the water become wine was spoken. The power of the Christ effects its purpose silently. Otherwise the word must be spoken to give a consciousness of power.
Why is the visit to Capernaum mentioned in the text? Capernaum means “covering of repentance” and denotes readiness to change one's mind. Willingness to change the mind shows strength of character or spiritual power.
Is zeal a sign of spiritual power? Not always. To be effective it must be under control, subject to judgment and understanding. Otherwise it causes the one whom it possesses to overreach himself. If we are to use zeal wisely, we must possess it, not be possessed by it.
March 16, 1919: John 2:13-22
What is the “passover of the Jews”? The “passover of the Jews” is a commemoration of the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt. The Christian passover is the Lord's Supper.
What, in individual consciousness, does the “passover of the Jews” represent? In individual consciousness, the “passover of the Jews” represents the time set aside for fasting and prayer, the cleansing and renewing of the body temple through denial and affirmation, making it ready for the coming of the Lord. The “Lord's Supper” represents the putting on of Christ, building into mind and body the Substance and Life of Spirit.
What is the spiritual meaning of the statement, “Jesus went up to Jerusalem”? Before one can effectively discipline one's mind and cleanse the body, the I Am (Jesus) must lift one “up” in consciousness to where one sees with spiritual vision.
In individual consciousness, what and where are “those that sold oxen and sheep and doves” and “the changers of money”? “Those that sold oxen and sheep and doves” and “the changers of money” are errors in the subconsciousness.
What is meant by the statement, “Zeal for thy house shall eat me up”? “Zeal,” by its very nature, is intense activity. If allowed to take possession of the mind, it turns the attention to observance of forms, following the line of action that brings the appearance of greatest results, and the Spirit is lost sight of.
What is the meaning of “his disciples remembered”? Jesus' “disciples” represent the faculties of mind that function in man's body temple through the centers of consciousness. That they “remembered,” at the word of Jesus (I Am), shows the quickening power of spiritual affirmation.
What do the “three days” that elapsed before the raising of Jesus from the tomb into the Christ perfection represent? The “three days” represent the three degrees or parts of man's consciousness: spirit, soul and body. The spiritual I Am must establish its mastery in these before the Word of God is fulfilled and the perfect man brought forth.
SUNDAY, AUGUST 17, 1924: John 2:13-22
What does the feast of the Passover represent? The feast of the Passover represents the passing away of the old life and the entering in of the new. The particular phase of life transformation mentioned in this lesson pertains to the cleansing of the body.
What is represented by the temple? The temple is the body; “. . . know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit . . . ?”
What is represented by: “And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting”? The verse as a whole represents that state of mind in the body that puts special value on the animal forces, not realizing that they are originally from Spirit.
What does the scourge of cords, as used by Jesus, represent? The scourge of cords represents thoughts and words of denial, which put out of the body consciousness the animal propensities.
What is the meaning of verse 17: “His disciples remembered that it was written. Zeal for thy house shall eat me up”? Zeal for the upbuilding of the house (body), without observing the divine law, consumes or eats the spiritual substance of which the house (body) was originally formed.
What is the spiritual meaning of: “The Jews therefore answered and said unto him, What sign showeth thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?” Man's mastery over the thoughts that rule in the body is the first step or sign in regeneration, and it is followed by complete regeneration. So Jesus, answering, said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
When those, who regard only the outer man, hear the word “temple,” what is their conclusion? The sense man's definition of a temple is a building of stone or of brick or of wood, while the spiritual man sees the body as the only real temple. Spiritual man was given dominion over all things, and when man realizes his spiritual character he has the power to tear down or build up his body temple. When Jesus said, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” he spoke “of the temple of his body.”
What is the meaning of the statement, in verse 22, that when Jesus was raised from the dead his disciples remembered and believed the words which he had said? In all his experience Jesus stressed the “three days” period. Metaphysically “three days” represent three movements of mind consciousness in Spirit, soul and body. When the creative law is fulfilled in these degrees of mind, man has complete power to make his body appear and disappear at will as did Jesus after the resurrection. He told his disciples that he would accomplish this mastery when he had fulfilled the law in the “three days,” mind, idea, and manifestation.

Is Wall Street research the next frontier for ETFs?
Bloomberg News reports that Goldman Sachs has just filed for a new ETF called the Goldman Sachs Hedge Fund VIP ETF, which is based its popular 'Hedge Fund Trend Monitor' research report put out by Ben Snider, David Kostin, and other analysts from Goldman's Global Investment Research division.
The research report — and the ETF — tracks the 50 companies that matter most to fundamentally driven hedge funds as found in their 13F filings. A 13F is a quarterly holdings report required for any hedge fund company with over $100m invested in U.S. equities.
The ETF would mark the first time a Wall Street bank uses its own research report as the basis for an ETF. While this isn’t Goldman’s own investment calls per se, it does show them looking to leverage one of their greatest strengths in an ETF and differentiate itself from a crowded field of over 1,800 ETFs issued by more than 50 different companies.

This was an odd one for me. Taken in it’s entirety, I liked every aspect of it. It’s only looking at each aspect individually that different elements jarred for me.
The Beauty of Murder has an truly fascinating concept; how do you track down and capture a time travelling murderer? Someone who can dump a body centuries before they committed the crime? Or even after? Stephen Killigan is a newly arrived Cambridge lecturer who stumbles upon the body of a missing beauty queen that seemingly disappears before he can show anyone. Soon he finds himself caught up in the web of Jackamore Grass, a man with the ability to time travel and a fascination with the apparent beauty of death.
The book itself is great. I’m not a massive fan of crime mysteries, but this avoids most of the tropes I dislike and its concept gaves it a twist that adds a wonderfully fantastical element that other books of this genre often lack. The writing itself is great, and for the most part the characters are interesting and believable.
The only one who put me off a bit was, unfortunately, the protagonist himself. I didn’t go to Cambridge so I might not know the place or the culture, but Stephen Killigan just didn’t quite fit for me. He was a little too cool, and little too instantly popular. The scenes of him teaching didn’t really feel believable for someone starting a prestigious new job. (He also seemed to have a habit of getting tattoos on a whim, from tattooist who will work on people who have just wondered into their shop, which left me a little judging as to their integrity, but I think that’s just me.) Most of the time I had no problem with him, especially once the story got going and I was able to settle into him. It just took a little while to get comfortable enough to slide past those ragged parts.
The other issue I had was the timeframe. About halfway through there is a massive time jump which didn’t seem to be addressed. Without wanting to give too much away, one of the main characters goes through a serious operation that would have required several weeks of recovery. But this jump isn’t addressed, and I was left with the feeling that the plot just paused for a few months. It didn’t ruin the story, I just feel that there needed to be something more here to address this as it left me wondering why all the other character just got on with their lives waiting for this one to get batter.
But other than these two gripes I really enjoyed The Beauty of Murder. It took a few chapters for me to get into it, and the middle had this jarring point where timeframes didn’t match up, but the rest of it was great. A brilliant concept, intriguing ideas and a murderer with methods I hadn’t read anywhere else.


Automotive recycling involves the process of dismantling vehicles to find parts. These vehicles still have value because they provide spare parts for other vehicles. This has created an industry that is flourishing in recycling vehicles. It is a simple process and offers many advantages. It also creates jobs, and helps the environment. The third largest employer in America is the automotive industry.
Recycling cars has many advantages, not least the savings it offers to consumers. In addition to saving money, recycled parts can help protect the environment. With recycled auto parts, consumers can avoid paying the high price of OEM replacement parts. If you become a member of ARANY and ARANY, you’ll be able to get the most recent information on this growing industry. Additionally, you will be able to know the most current laws and legal issues that affect the industry.
Auto recyclers need to have the OEM part information. This information helps them match specific parts to specific vehicles. This information is typically given by OEMs to auto recyclers. Unfortunately, some automakers have stopped providing this information with their new models, and the trend seems to be growing. To make it easier for auto recycling companies to find recalls and to identify recalled parts, the ARA has partnered with Congress-based partners.
Recycling in the automotive industry can also cut down on the need to produce new metals. Reusing old steel takes up to 74 percent less energy than making new steel. This means fewer CO2 emissions. Around 86 percent of materials used in automobiles can be recycled. Even old carpets can be used in air cleaner assemblies or engine fan modules.
Recycling vehicles is good for the environment. Recycling saves energy by reducing the requirement for new parts and also reducing waste. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for landfills. Moreover the majority of car materials can be reused and reused, meaning they don’t end up in landfills. This also means that vehicles will not pollute water.
The automotive industry has been criticized as being unsustainable for its environmental impact however, it’s actually a leader when it comes to recycling. The industry is open to the idea that scrap materials can be used despite the increasing cost of raw materials. The industry is able to improve its products while conserving the environment by using scrap materials.
The American automotive recycling industry is a vital sector of the American economy. It employs more than 100 thousand people and earns an estimated $22 billion annually in revenue. The quality of used OEM parts can be purchased at a cost that is 20% to 80 percent lower than new parts. Recycling is a way to preserve our natural resources as well as reduce air pollution.
There are many benefits of auto recycling , and it has been around for more than 75 years. It involves the recycling of vehicles and recovering fluids and parts which can be reused for other products. Recyclers can also recycle fluids and tires as well as vehicles. These procedures ensure proper disposal and keep waste from getting into landfills. Once the vehicle has been cleaned and sorted, recyclers can then process it at an area for recycling metal. This metal can then be used to create new vehicles and repairing old ones.
Energy savings can also be achieved by recycling vehicles. Recycling old cars can generate enough energy to power 18 million homes a year. This saves the environment and millions of tons of raw material. It also produces high-quality products at half the cost of new. In actual fact, recycling automotive parts is an integral part of the industrial infrastructure of the world.

Mary Soon Lees Blog - Elemental Haiku in Science - August 03, 2017 12:24
Expect to see her name pop up again soon, however, as we have two flash pieces and another poem in our inventory! In this interview, Mary gives advice to emerging writers and talks about her own path in the craft. Mary Soon Lee: Often I write a group of poems around a common theme, and in this case I was thinking about alternate realties. I wrote half a dozen variations, including one about Sputnik 23 photographing canals on Mars. Then my son mentioned that when the Soviets launched their first probe to Venus, they still thought the planet might have oceans, and the seed of the poem was born. Then in , my second child was born and I had far less time to write, most of which I spent on mainstream poetry. In , I started a fantasy epic told in poems, which consumed me for several years.
As a service to the Haiku Society of America members, we are glad to post announcement and news related to haiku publications and haiku-related events.

With my girlfriend’s birthday approaching, this project began out as a simple “build a decent sounding bluetooth speaker” exercise. As usual it turned into a 3 month long project with a rush to complete in time for the deadline.
I started off with an integrated bluetooth receiver/amplifier board, a 12V 3000mAh LiPo battery pack and a pair of Fountek FR58EX 2″ Neodymium Full Range Speaker Drivers. Prior to receiving the battery pack I mocked up a quick enclosure using a sealed plastic container to test the functionality of the components.
The next step was to build a more robust prototype, I used my CNC Router to cut some 12 mm plywood. Held together with long bolts the layered construction allowed me to easily adjust the enclosure volume by adding and removing layers. There are obviously optimum enclosure specifications which can be calculated for these drivers using the supplier issued Theile-Small Parameters. I found the results to be slightly larger (1132 cubic centimeters) than what I was willing to accommodate, as one of the main goals of this project was to keep the overall size to a minimum. Although, I was interested in experimenting with the enclosure volume to see what effect it had an effect on the sound.
I also opted to include a passive radiator into the design as I had discovered during my research that many of the small commercially available Bluetooth speakers employed this technology to enhance the sound characteristics. I won’t go into detail about the physics of how this works but it is similar to the traditional bass reflex designs, where a specifically sized “port” is built into the enclosure and “tuned” to enhance specific frequencies, which in most cases are the lower (bass) end of the frequency range. The passive radiator achieves this as it consists of a small mass which is suspended and free to move on a rubber suspension.
It was a tight fit but I managed to get everything to fit inside the enclosure. I life tested this setup and it ran for over 20 hours at a moderate listening volume before the battery required charging.
I used my father’s (Dark Lantern) Radio Shack Sound Pressure Level Meter (SPL) to plot the frequency response of a few different configurations, including different enclosure volumes as well as with/without the presence of a passive radiator.
As mentioned above, the passive radiator functions somewhat like a bass reflex port. Like a port, it can be tuned to be active at a specific (resonant) frequency, this tuning of a passive radiator can be achieved by altering the mass of the radiator diaphragm. I decided to experiment with this tuning by CNC routing a circular pocket of material out of the back of the diaphragm (below), therefore reducing its mass, and in theory resulting in a higher resonant frequency.
The graph below shows some of the resulting frequency response plots from my testing. It shows that the three different enclosures sizes I tried had very little effect on the measured frequency response. Interestingly, the lightened passive radiator shows a significant shift in response from 400 Hz to 300 Hz. If this were the resonant frequency of the passive radiator we would except the modification (reduction of mass) to have the opposite effect. At this point I am not sure why we are seeing this behavior, surely an explanation can be found with deeper analysis of physics of this problem. Which is something that I deemed out of the scope of this project.
Regardless of the testing and analysis, the most important thing is that the speaker sounded “good” for general listening. In its current setup I didn’t think it passed this ear test, it sounded slightly harsh/fatiguing and there was a lack of bass for the most part.
I decided to re-think the whole setup and came to the conclusion that it would be best to omit the passive radiator and use the space to house larger Tang-Band (W3-1053SC) 3″ full-range drivers. The electronics also got an upgrade, a Sure (AA-AB41136) Bluetooth Audio Receiver Board and (AA-AB32155) 2x15W Class-D Audio Amplifier.
It has been shown by several commercial companies that great results are possible using small full range drivers paired with passive radiators. Although I think it is difficult to achieve with off-the-shelf components, it seems that proprietary electronics and custom hardware is required.
I managed to acquire a large (3 m long) slab of mahogany from the dumpster in my apartment building, it had previously been used as an office reception desk. The material was 40 mm thick with a polyurethane finish on both sides. I required planks of 15 mm and 35 mm thicknesses, the front grill was 15 mm thick and the main enclosure was to have two 35 mm and a 15 mm thick part laminated together. The first step was to use a thicknesser to achieve the right thickness and prep both sides.
My CNC router was used to machine all of the wooden components, a video showing some of this process is below. Unfortunately I was having technical issues with my GoPro so the video is slightly short and disjointed.
The image below shows the grill, plywood baffle and the front-most 35 mm thick section of the enclosure. I had some trouble with chipping of the thin wall sections of some of the components, this was alleviated by clamping a sacrificial sheet of wood on top of the mahogany during the first router passes.
Test fitting with press-fit grill mounts installed.
The main (35 mm thick) sections of the body were profile cut and then later laminated with the back (15 mm thick) section. By laminating the timber post-cutting I was able to avoid pocketing out the whole 77 mm deep internal volume of the enclosure. Instead, simple profiling cuts were used to remove the majority of the material. Care was taken to align the sections during glueing to minimise the amount of sanding required.
Everything mounted inside before affixing the baffle to the enclosure.
The exterior was finished with Briwax, a great product which was easy to apply and produces a very nice finish.
The only external features are a power button and 12 V charging port. The battery I purchased from eBay was supplied with a wall-wart style charger, this was ideal as the charger had integrated charging and full charge lights built in.
The grill is attached using press fit grill guides and is easily removable.
Overall I am very happy with how this project turned out and the gift was well received!
The only comment was that even at the lowest (iPhone) volume setting, the sound output was quite loud and not suitable for quiet listening sessions. This was fixed by adding some 10 ohm resistors arranged in a simple voltage divider between the amplifier outputs and the speaker drivers.
6 thoughts on “Custom Bluetooth Speaker”
Where did you find the schematics for the speaker portion. I like this. You did a great job. This seems like a perfect little project, now I want to do this.
Hi Trent, I purchased the bluetooth and amp boards and just wire them together with a power supply! Search for Sure Audio, they make some good amp boards and also a combo board with bluetooth integrated.
Great project ! I’m gonna try this out too.
Would there be a way to add an 3.5mm input to the amp ? How would you go about doing this to have both bluetooth and a 3.5 mm jack?
It should be really easy now that Sure have just released this new combo board, it is an amp and bluetooth receiver combined and has heaps of other extras like a 3.5 mm jack cable included! I would use this board if I were to build this speaker again. http://www.parts-express.com/wondom-aa-ac11160-2x15w-4-8-ohm-class-d-audio-amplifier-board-bt21-with-functional-cables–320-3518
how does it sound? how much enjoyable is the bass? what is the volume of the box?
Hi, thanks for the comment, it sounds really good. The Sure amp has plenty of power and the bass isn’t super heavy but definitely present.

No Syria settlement prospects yet: Russian minister
No prospects can be seen yet of a settlement to the Syrian crisis, a Russian minister has said.
Rome: No prospects can be seen yet of a settlement to the Syrian crisis, a Russian minister has said.
"Unfortunately, no prospects are seen and one of the reasons is our western partners do not properly work with the (Syrian) opposition," Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said in Rome, where he is on a visit.
"The task is to achieve political settlement of the Syrian crisis, to persuade both sides to sit down to the negotiating table and start searching for ways to solve the problems their country is facing, and ultimately start determining its future," Gatilov said.
Russia has faced strong international criticism over its refusal to back UN sanctions against Syria, its last ally in the Arab world, over what it called the pro-rebel bias of some resolutions proposed by western nations.
Moscow denies it is backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and says it is concerned the president`s enforced departure would only worsen the conflict.
At least 60,000 people have been killed in the conflict since March 2011.

I rely on Bonnie to take me to good movies. I often am behind in reading reviews, which means I can sometimes get into the theater without even knowing whether the film will be comic, dramatic, or tragic or a combination of all of these. I enjoy being able to watch a film without any expectations other than it will be good because Bonnie chose it. Last night I did have a sense of what I would see, as the title Bride and Prejudice is a reference too clear for me to miss. I had also seen the ads saying “Hollywood meets Bollywood,” so I guessed there would be song and dance. What I did not know is how very much I would enjoy the film.
Bride and Prejudice is not a realistic depiction of life in India, just as the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s stood far apart from the life of Depression Era America. It is a well-crafted entertainment with no apologies to current conditions. Everyone sings and dances. I most enjoyed the colorful dance scenes in the streets of Amritsar, some including elephants and marching bands. Bonnie picked as her favorite “No Wife, No Life,” a song the four Bakshi sisters sing in their white pajamas at bedtime. In funny ways I was reminded of the Blues Brothers and Grease as much as the Bollywood films that I have seen on Turner Classic Movies.
International film fans should see this movie just to see Aishwarya Rai as Lalita Bakshi, for Rai is said by some reviewers to be the most popular actress in India. I thought she had much more presence than Martin Henderson as William Darcy; he is a soft Darcy who gives in a little too easily. My favorite character is Mr. Kholi, played by Nitin Chandra Ganatra, who returns from Los Angeles to Amitsar to find a traditional Indian wife; his table manners are atrocious.
If there is a serious thought to be nursed after seeing Bride and Prejudice, it is that there are large, affluent Indian communities around the world, who work at preserving their traditions, but at the same time value much from American and European culture. The cast itself represents the American, British, and Asian communities. Both the director Gurinder Chadha (Bend It Like Beckham) and Ganatra were born in Kenya.
Bride and Prejudice should join A Passage to India, The Jewel in the Crown, Gandhi, Monsoon Wedding, and Shakespeare Wallah in public library collections.

The Enterococcus faecalis genome contains two enoyl-ACP reductases genes, fabK and fabI, which encode proteins having very different structures. Enoyl-ACP reductase catalyzes the last step of the elongation cycle of type II fatty acid synthesis pathway. The fabK gene is located within the large fatty acid synthesis operon whereas fabI is located together with two genes fabN and fabO required for unsaturated fatty acid synthesis. Prior work showed that FabK is weakly expressed due to poor translational initiation and hence virtually all the cellular enoyl ACP reductase activity is that encoded by fabI. Since FabK is a fully functional enzyme, the question is why FabI is an essential enzyme. Why not increase FabK activity? We report that overproduction of FabK is lethal whereas FabI overproduction only slows the growth and is not lethal. In both cases, normal growth is restored by the addition of oleic acid, an unsaturated fatty acid, to the medium indicating that enoyl ACP reductase overproduction disrupts unsaturated fatty acid synthesis. We report that this is due to competition with FabO, a putative 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase I via FabN, a dehydratase/isomerase providing evidence that the enoyl-ACP reductase must be matched to the unsaturated fatty acid synthetic genes. FabO has been ascribed the same activity as E. coli FabB and we report in vitro evidence that this is the case, whereas FabN is a dehydratase/isomerase, having the activity of E. coli FabA. However, FabN is much larger than FabA, it is a hexamer rather than a dimer like FabA.

Quoted via WWD:
Alexander Wang’s new spring campaigns reflect the speed and adrenaline that also defined the season for him. For his ready-to-wear ads, he worked with director and visual effects pro James Lima on a collection video in CG animation. It features Liya Kebede in a dreamlike car race set to an exclusive version of Azealia Banks’ tune “212.” “We really just wanted to try something different this season, and be a little bit more experimental,” Wang said.
His T by Alexander Wang campaign was shot by Dan Jackson, and ubercool South African hip-hop band Die Antwoord was flown in to appear in the images and two videos; a behind-the-scenes clip and the official campaign with “Fatty Boom Boom” from Die Antwoord’s new album “Ten$ion” playing. Later this month, MTV will put both videos in rotation on “120 Minutes.” “I am part of a generation that grew up with MTV, and obviously with music, and having it all work together made it a really fun project,” Wang said.
Alastair McKimm and Christopher Simmonds are responsible as the stylist and art director for the campaign respectively.

This business is a MenuMania SponsorOne of the Business' Favourite Reviews
In terms of value for money – this is the place to go! I had a buffet breakfast there with 4 mates and ate my weight in delicious breakfast goodness. The highlight? the pastries and eggs benedict with bacon. The low? I would have liked to see some banana and avacado on the menu but for $29.90 i really can’t complain. The service was fantastic and the food fresh. A winner in my books.
Went here with friends before Christmas and staff were friendly and overall experience was much better than expected. Only downside for us was the place was packed, very hard to get through the tables carrying plates of food and lots of dishes were empty on the buffet as there were so many people there. Food itself was good and was perfect for catching up with friends in a nice but not too formal atmosphere.
The pasta dishes were exceptional. The guiness pie was delicious with a nice crust and there was a great variety of salads and other cold dishes.
Service was efficient and place was clean.
Would definitely go again.
This place has improved from 3-4 years ago. However it still feels like a slightly upgraded version of Valentines…which I am personally not a great big fan of…
Standard NZ buffet food, eg. chowders fisha and chips roast food mussels etc…Not special spices or sauces…
Good place to try meet some rugby players scoffing down food
Recommend The Observatory Restaurant if you are thinking of something more special.
Wait time: 5/5
Food Quality and taste: 1/5
Price range: $30+ pp
Boring array of food with average flavors, though none of them tasted bad. The roast was dry and flavorless. Don’t expect much seafood. If you re bulking for the season and looking for value for your money, by all means come here. Otherwise i would not commend.
One of the things i can highly commend though is their Panna Cotta, definitely one of the best i have had, silky delicious smooth with real vanilla bean and liquor aftertaste, I had six of these baby. Other deserts were not too shabby as well, much better than other “premium” buffets or high class restaurants in my humble opinion. They did serve seasonal fresh (uncut) fruits too, which was a lovely change.
my gosh the make over at fortuna was so worth it
I’m glad they reviewed their menu too because the night we dined was really good.
#1-Food is excellent for $$. oysters were lovely and fresh but a tiny bit gritty still, everything i tried was lovely except dessert, maybe we didn’t get all the options that night cause it was very basic, fruit pudding,Pavlova,choc mousse, something strange & unnamed in a shot glass, wasn’t good.
the decor is lovely.
Wow have things improved here.
Not been back for years and now next weekend will see us dine for the third time in two months. One lunch that was really good . Love the included soft drinks.
Great variety and quality of food at all times.
Variety of soups could improve two out of two vegetable types is boring.
Cookies with coffee are great if still warm.
Fortuna is a great place for a buffet.
The food was great, it is good that the non alcoholic drinks including coffee and tea were free and the dessert was sweet.
The 1 thing I would like to say is that after having a couple plates of food and them building up on the table they never got picked up and I had to actually ask one of the waitresses to take them from our table. It wasn’t very busy either last night (Sunday 30th Sept) so would of expected them to come round a lot more often and check if any dirty plates need to be taken away. Other wise the place looks great after the re-vamp but maybe the service needs to be looked at.
I don’t really have anything bad to say about this restaurant. we dined here with a group of our friends and my workmates and it didn’t disappoint. food was never short as they kept topping it up. a true kiwi menu as it draws inspirations from everywhere which is what represents new zealand these days. everything was up to the standard and the setting was great. I have been here before and will definitely be coming back more often now
Pretty good value for money, great ambiance since renovation, excellent service and a good place for family and friend hangouts.
Amazing lunch buffet menu, value for money.
Enjoyed the new atmosphere cant wait too go back for another meal.
Friendly staff and very tide environment A+.
Highly Recommended too everyone
I got sick of the old Fortuna food and set up but since the new Fortuna has opened, I am really happy with the changes, the food was excellent and I loved the home made pizza. It was made on crusty bread, so tasty, I love these two for one deals, it makes it a cheap lunch.
The only bad point was having to wait outside for the doors to open, they were late opening up and when you got old people having to stand with bad knees it’s a hassle.
Fortuna is a restaurant our family goes to a lot when we’re in Auckland. Its a really nice and it’s always got something you want.
I like the service, the environment and the amount of seating it has.
The food is great fun.
Went there last year. Food was yum. The chef made my sister her own fresh cooked fish because she has allergies to lots of foods. Going again soon.
I have been here quite a few times with family and friends. Some days it would be packed bt I found that if you go after 8pm you won’t end up standing in a line queue. However the price is ridiculously expensive I guess the view and surrounding must count for it. With their breads their was a dead insect in their so we stayed well away from it. They have oysters which is what I like their food are delicious but I like their desert especially the choc mousse in the lil cup. They always have two soups on but Im not a soup person I love the pasta.
OK, unlike your usual run at Valentines (needless to say they are so overated now!!!), Fortuna does have a nice, and I mean NICE (not perfect) selection of food… I wont say I dined there as this would be killing it for those fancy people who eat at flash restaurants but I did eat there with my partner, sister and her partner. The seafood was…. well yes they did have it. The OTHER selection of food was nice aswell… I loved the Ice Cream machine which brought back nightmares of working in my sisters cafe truck shop (that’s a good thing), ohh or the runny soup like stuff i got from another ice cream machine at another family buffet restaurant – you don’t need to be a genuis to figure that one out… Overall a nice place if you want to eat and chat loudly over a meal with friends or family…
Really loved Fortuna. The food was nice and hot. If people go I recommend you go on a Sunday because the seafood special is really worth the price. Something I like about this buffet. The atmosphere is nice and modern unlike other buffets , Ive been to VIP Valentines. The food was the best. SO much desserts to choose from the salad bar and even the Hot Chocolate machine although it was a bit to rich and I had to add some milk onto it. The 2 soups, Potato soup I think and the Broccoli. Really good soups I ended up hogging the soups haha
Went here last night for my daughters 21st. Would NEVER go here again. Waited in line for 25mins to find only 7 main meals and it was mostly fried food. No one went back for seconds because we didnt want to wait that long in line again. Not a variety of desserts and all the kids could eat was ice cream. Overall a massive waste of money.Then they tried to charge me $7.50 each for two peaople that didnt turn up.
You can pay less and get more basic variety of food from Valentines…
first time there friendly service.
I dined in fortuna over the weekend and have not been able to stop thinking about my experience there.
The staff were so friendly and helpful, it is nice to see people who are generally happy to be providing you with service. The food was ok, a lot better than I was expecting, and very reasonably priced.
We have been to Fortuna many times and are always very impressed.
The food is amazing, always fresh and it changes every now and then with the seasonal menu.
I’m pretty sure you could not find a quality buffet meal with 3 courses (always 2 delicious freshly made soups) and a fantastic cheese plate with the range of selection that fortuna has for the price it offers. Plus the unique DIY salad station is such a great idea.
We have been to valentines in the past and have been utterly disgusted by the food they have on offer and would never dine with them again. So if you are looking for a very reasonably priced buffet in auckland Fortuna should definitely be your pick. Food is great, staff are friendly and helpful and you will have an awesome time.
Quality is always fine the the price is good, been here a heap of times before and always come away happy.
The food at Fortuna is pretty basic – most of it originally seeming to come from a packet. I was here just a week ago, and saw the chef making the mashed potato from a packet of potato flakes… that’s a typical example.
Valentines is definitely a better option for similar money. In fact, almost any buffet anywhere in Auckland is probably better value in terms of food quality.
I can speak highly of the Seafood Buffet (which has plenty of non-seafood items too) in the Observatory restaurant in the SkyTower – that’s about $50 a head for dinner, but the view and overall food quality make it good value for money.
Fortuna pales in comparison. Saying that they have a very cheap lunch deal for $9.98, and a cheap 5pm-6.30pm buffet dinner for $14.98 until the end of June – phone 0800 skycity to book (essential). This price promotion makes the buffet actually very good value… but only on this temporary basis.
Why have they reduced / almost halved the prices? Probably because the reputation is so poor -because we’re all sick of the packet type buffet fare… maybe this latest promotion is a chance to make things better.
Watch this space!
Food is ok nothing special at all, as I would expect better from this place, food at Valentines Lincoln Rd has far greater variety same quality for the same price….Come on Fortuna
Top service. Food is always lovely. My nephew is allergic to dairy and the chef even made him his own special dairy free meal!

Notting Hill bumbled its way into the imagination of the global masses when Julia Roberts stood in front of Hugh Grant in 1999 and asked him to love her.
A star was born and 20 years later, the influx of tourists to the west London neighbourhood is still on the rise; much to the dismay of locals who are contending with increasingly audacious instagrammers.
Pop the words ‘Notting Hill’ into the social media photograph-sharing platform and you’ll see endless images of people posing in front of the area’s birghtly-coloured doors; sitting on doorsteps or pretending to enter houses.
Ingrid, a 90-year-old pensioner and resident of 40 years recently told The Times, “it’s got worse and worse. They’re sitting on my doorstep. They’re quite rude sometimes, they make a noise.”
Forget a nice Saturday morning laze if you live in the streets of Notting Hill – not if there are people hanging off your railings and leaning on your front door snapping selfies.
There have been an incredible 1.2million posts on Instagram using #NottingHill, spurred on by a number of Instagram guides to the area, and the problem has become so bad that some are considering moving or are deliberately making the exteriors of their homes look uglier in order to deter snap-seeking visitors. “I’m going to paint my house white and my door a neutral colour. That should put them off,” one resident said.
If you’ve been living on the moon and haven’t heard, there’s a distinct feeling that Instagram might just be ruining travel. No longer do wistful wanderers tour the globe experiencing places that they can’t wait to tell their friends about when they get home.
Instead, it’s instantaneous. ‘I am here. It is great. You should come too’ is generally the message, complete with a geotag telling people exactly where to go so that they themselves can recreate the very same insta-perfect snap.
Back in March, Telegraph Travel reported on a similar story about the Rue Crémieux in Paris. “So influential is the platform that there is now a word, 'Instagrammable', which has entered popular parlance to describe places that you ought to go and snap,” says Greg Dickinson. “The Google Trends graph over the last five years shows the explosion in searches for 'Instagrammable' places around the world.”
Here in Britain, it’s not just the residents of Notting Hill with homes too photogenic for their own good. Here are a few others succumbing to a similar fate.
Circus Place and Dean Village, Edinburgh
"Long-suffering residents of Edinburgh have for many years (mostly) cheerfully coped with the annual August and New Year Festival invasions that make much of the city centre an endurance test for locals trying to go about their daily lives, never mind drivers dealing with photo-hungry visitors stepping blindly into their path," says Telegraph Travel expert Linda Macdonald.
“The Royal Mile, Greyfriars Bobby, Victoria Street, Calton Hill and the Vennel have always been catnip to camera-istas, but formerly peaceful residential areas like Circus Place in Stockbridge and picture-perfect Dean Village have also come under increasing pressure, causing yet more inconvenience and disruption for locals,” she adds.
And it's not hard to see why. Imagine being confronted with scenes such as this on the morning school run.
Residents of Edinburgh’s prettiest streets have had their fill and raised the problem with the powers that be.
“In an attempt to deal with issues where narrow streets and crowds have reached critical mass, City of Edinburgh Council are closing popular streets to traffic during the Festival in August, as well as developing a new Tourism Strategy in an attempt to balance the needs of visitors with those of city residents,” Linda says. “It can’t come soon enough.”
Riverside and Arlington Row, Cotswolds
“There are no two ways about it; at any time of year you need the patience of an angel to venture into the Cotswolds’ most famously picturesque places,” says Telegraph Travel’s local expert Harriet O’Brien.
“In summer particularly, attempt to walk over the foot bridges at Bourton-on-the-Water or past the weavers’ cottages of Arlington Row in Bibury and you’ll exude frustration at the end of a very long line of shuffling, picture-snapping daytrippers. Of course several of the Cotswolds’ prettiest villages have attracted throngs of visitors ever since the creation of affordable cameras. But Instagram has rapidly racked things up several gears."
It's become so bad here that people not only pose as if they're coming out of your front door, but peer brazenly into front windows.
“As acknowledged beauty spots have become Instagrammable sites the hordes have multiplied," Harriet adds. "In the past locals coped by simply avoiding conventional tourist venues. The overspill, though, is becoming a huge irritant, especially with tailback traffic. At the moment it’s a major undertaking to drive through Lower Slaughter, Bibury or Castle Combe, with meandering tourists blithely stepping out to frame the perfect shot regardless of any (inevitably slow going) vehicle. The one consoling factor is that the attention – for the moment – is focused on just a few places.”
North Laine and Blaker Street, Brighton
"On a sunny Saturday, the North Laine area becomes overrun with Instagrammers who clog up the already narrow streets to get their #YOLO shots,” says Telegraph Travel’s Brighton expert Tracey Davies. “I don't mind so much, I'm just pleased my beloved Brighton is getting some Insta-love.
“But I have friends on Blaker Street in Kemp Town, famed for its rainbow-coloured houses, who get a little fed up with noisy 'grammers posing on their doorsteps," she continues.
Gold Hill, Shaftesbury, Dorset
This unpresuming street in Dorset shot to fame in the 1970s after it appeared in an advert directed by none other than Ridley Scott. The Hovis “Boy on the Bike” advert, which last aired almost 50 years ago, was recently crowned the “most iconic UK advert of all time”.
Of this cosy, iconic little street, Telegraph Travel’s Benjamin Parker says: “Half of the year Gold Hill is a peaceful place, and you can take in the steep sweep of the weathered cobbles – and the view of patchwork Dorset fields – at a leisurely pace.
“But those in the county's north get a different scene during high season, when 'grockels' (how those in the West Country affectionately refer to tourists) descend on the street determined to get that perfect postcard shot, standing in doorways if the camera requires it,” he says. “In fact, you're more likely to get your loaf of Hovis knocked from your hands than make it up the street without running into a boyfriend of Instagram...”

Financial Services Ombudsman should be given power to publish complaints record of providers
31 January 2013
Fianna Fáil Finance Spokesperson Michael McGrath TD has called on the government to speedily enact a Fianna Fáil bill which gives the Financial Services Ombudsman the power to publish the complaints record of individual financial service providers. Deputy McGrath was commenting as the Ombudsman, Mr. Bill Prasifka, confirmed that his office received 8,135 complaints in 2012, up 12% on 2011 levels.
Deputy McGrath said, “It is the stated position of the Financial Services Ombudsman that the public interest would be best served by publishing the complaints record of individual financial service providers. Last March, a Fianna Fáil bill extending these powers to the Ombudsman passed second stage in the Dáil. However, almost a year later, the government has yet to move the bill to committee stage.
“We need to ensure that the public has access to accurate information about how financial service providers are treating customers and how they behave when their shortcomings are pointed out. It is vital that public confidence in the Irish financial system be restored. It is my view that greater transparency about the performance and behaviour of individual institutions is a basic pre-requisite to achieve this.
“I also believe that publishing the complaints record of institutions would help to weed out remaining bad practices in the financial services industry. I have no doubt that publishing the complaints record of financial service providers will motivate them to clean up their act and improve the service provided to customers.
“In July 2011, the Ombudsman initiated a round of public consultation on the publication of information on the complaints record of financial service providers. The Ombudsman pointed out that the publication of such information would require an amendment to the legislation which established the Ombudsman’s office.
“Fianna Fáil has provided the necessary legislative amendment and I would call on the Minster for Finance to put aside politics-as-usual and implement this sensible proposal without any further delay.”
