NEW! SL-1200G And SL-1200GAE Turntable - By Technics

The Technics SL-1200G and SL-1200GAE are innovative turntables designed to remove the weaknesses of regular direct-drive turntables. The iron core within the motor has been removed to eliminate cogging. There are also high-precision rotary positioning sensors that use a microprocessor to evade the annoying noise from the motor. This is achieved by suppressing vibration.

The low-tech side of Japan

Pay/validate or lose your undercarriage. These little lots (sometimes 1-2 spots) took up any free real estate available.

This rumble strip went down every sidewalk—it’s for the blind to get their bearings, and it creates a cultural bike/pedestrian divide. They are also in all airports, train and bus stations and are not fun with rolling suitcases.

Hi-rise parking garage: rotating platform so you never have to back out into the road after your car returns from the elevator.

More toilet tech: sink runs when you flush (fresh water, of course).

Another toilet function (in airport hotel): sit on the seat and bowl fills with water. A strange feeling indeed.

Narita airport: what every airport restroom door should look like: a rounded door to ease you in, no clumsy open-in door to fight with your luggage. It felt like an elegant dance.

All Nippon Airways (ANA): Cup “hole”-der in airplane tray table, the best way to prevent spills.

Haneda to Narita shuttle bus: announcements, mic, TV, music, mirrors, comms, gear shift—there is nothing the driver can’t control from his console.

If you can’t afford to or don’t care to ship water, there are other ways you can help! You can donate money to the Flint Water Fund so they can purchase water or filters, or to the Flint Child Health & Development Fund to directly help kids affected by the lead. If you don’t have money, sign this petition to stop making Flint residents pay astronomical rates for unusable water. Water bills average $140 a month in Flint, and the city is trying to force them to pay, beginning with shutting off water, but since that’s not much of a punishment, I imagine they’ll end up sending people to collections for unpaid bills.

Other places to send money, water, or filters include:

Small Amounts/Money

Catholic Charities Center for Hope 517 E. Fifth Ave. Flint, MI 48503 Monday – Friday, 9am – 4pm 810-232-9950

The American Red Cross 1401 S. Grand Traverse Flint, MI 48503 Saturday and Sunday, 9am – 4pm 810-232-1401

100 cases or more:

Food Bank of Eastern Michigan 2300 Lapeer Rd Flint, MI 48503 Call ahead to 810-239-4441

Truckloads:

United Way Emergency Center 111 E. Court St. Flint, MI 48502 Call ahead to 810-232-8121
