At $699, it's expensive, but worth the money as a music-friendly soundbar.
We have a bunch of sonos' in my shop, I haven't researched the stuff yet so this has been useful.
I have 2 play 5's, a playbar and a sub myself.
I started with 2 play 5's, then got a sub and then got a playbar as soon as they were released.
The play 5, just on it's own, is about shoe box size and manages stereo audio with enough bass to shake a small room, it is nothing short of impressive.
I used the playbar and sub for the TV and when I wanted to play music I just joined the 2 play 5's in with the touch of a button.
Sonos is so seamless, it's not only the amazing sound quality but the functionality of the product. It takes minutes to set up and being able to have your entire music collection (including your playlists), thousands of free internet radio stations and pretty much any music streaming service you can think of available in app is just something I don't think I could do without after having the privilege for so long.
I found out about it during an optional training session for work a few years ago, the national manager (for lack of a better term) for Sonos Australia gave us the session, on a table he set up 2 play 3's and a Sub, he played Limit to your love by James blake at around 50% volume which was enough to noticeably vibrate my internal organs. The very next day I ordered my first play 5.
I will eventually get around to buying 2 play 1's as well for the 5.1 - I am just curious and the play 1's are rather cheap.
Let it be known that I don't actually smoke opium or opiates in the "Opium Den." That's just what I call my loft.
I'll stick with my old school hi-fi thanks.You'd be surprised how common this is. 

I used to work for a petrol station, and would have people (often 1st generation kids freshly on their P plates) ask.

Much of the advice in here is good, however **fuel is flammable and you don't want to fail at filling up**.  Ask the petrol station for help.

Go to a big brand one -- Shell/Woolworths/BP during the day and ask counter staff to show you.  You'll select the right fuel, and do it right.

Don't worry about asking -- it's something to be proud of: you're adulting now!Increased tuition and fees?
Student Government Association executive board conducts first meeting.
For the first time, universities in the UT System are being compared to one another for cohesive planning at the System Administration level. Prior to the 2019 Fall semester, each school operated independently within their own parameters. This leaves UTSA with roughly one month to develop any proposals they might have, including tuition and fees.
“We have to have our proposals for tuition and fee changes, which typically are increased, to the system by Nov. 1,” Dr. Kimberly Espy, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs, said during the Student Government Association’s (SGA) first meeting of the fall semester.
The accelerated timeline for setting tuition and fees was passed down to UTSA in a memo from the UT System by Chancellor James Milliken.
“This is going to roll really quickly. It has to be vetted through our university leadership process. We’re really looking at about a month to develop whatever proposals we have,” Espy said.
The university is required to establish a student referendum in order to increase fees, which leaves little time for consideration. UTSA is looking to the colleges to develop proposals with input and assistance from SGA.
“Any tuition and fee increase affects you directly. We want to make sure that if we do that option that it actually makes a big difference and you are getting value for that,” Espy said.
Espy also discussed the university’s master plan. The UT System requires that a new plan is developed every 10 years. UTSA has spent the past 12 months developing their master plan through a consultative committee.
The university currently offers 180 degree programs and has approximately 32,000 students enrolled for the 2019-2020 school year. The 10-year plan includes increasing student enrollment up to 45,000 which will require an expansion of buildings and faculty at all four UTSA campuses.
LT Robinson, senior vice provost for Students Affairs and dean of students, followed Espy by discussing the restructuring of Student Affairs.
“They have collapsed the position of dean of students and the vice president of Student Affairs into one role, so now that role has become senior vice provost of Student Affairs and dean of students, and that is the role that I have landed into,” Robinson said.
The Office of Student Affairs is no longer located in the Main Building. The office has been moved to the Office of Student Life’s former location inside the Student Union.
SGA continued their meeting with Director Reports. Each current director introduced themselves, presented a brief summary of what their goals are for the 2019-2020 school year and provided contact information with office hours and locations.
The Treasurer’s Budget Report was then reviewed by Joshua Rebel, SGA treasurer. The budget is still being modified and will go to a vote with SGA members during their next general meeting. SGA is holding their next meeting in the Denman Ballroom, located in the Student Union, on Sept. 12. Meetings are open to the public for students to attend.

If you want to get that healthy-looking skin and prolonged glow, do not skip this step. Our skin shed dead cells at an incredible rate every day, and it is vital to slough them away, lest you want your skin to appear dry and dull. Ideally, exfoliate two to three times a week. You can use an exfoliating sponge or a massager and rub it in circular movements on your entire body from the shoulders down. A body scrub – either homemade or store-bought – also works well. Don’t forget your face and neck too – use a proper facial scrub or exfoliator that’s suited to your skin type about once or twice a week. #2: Sunscreen image You didn’t think we would get through this list without mentioning sunscreen too, did you? A product that’s essential not just during the summer, but for every day as well. Even if it’s cloudy or rainy outside, you should apply sunscreen religiously on a daily basis. Opt for one with a high SPF and promises protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays. If you’re unsure how much product to use, you should be applying about a shot glass full for your body and a full teaspoon just on your face. Reapply the sunscreen every one to two hours, especially if you’re having fun in the sun. Go for a waterproof sunscreen too, if you’re partaking in water-based activities. #3: Lighter products image Pack away those super heavy creams and lotions. Now that it’s warmed up, the hot and humid weather calls for lightweight products that won’t feel like it’s clogging up your pores. Let your skin breathe naturally, so go for fast absorbent formulas that will still moisturise your skin. Ditch the oil-based moisturisers and opt for water-based ones. If you have oily skin, gel-based moisturisers work wonders; for extra oily and acne prone skin, facial sprays with minerals are ideal. Remember to always moisturise straight out of the shower when your skin is still damp, and also at night if you want to wake up with glowing skin. #4: Water image It’s not enough to protect your skin, you need to nourish it from within. Carry a handy, portable water bottle with you and aim to take a sip at least every half an hour. Not only does water help to flush out the toxins and waste that accumulate in the body, it also helps to decrease the heat level and keep the body cool and hydrated. Fluids also help to detoxify
