Aperture vs Lightroom Faceoff for Fujifilm X-Trans Raw Decode |
Derrick Story
Adobe made a little noise with the release of Lightroom 4.4 and its working closely with Fufifilm to provide top notch decoding of .RAF files from Fujifilm X-Pro1, X-E1, X100S, and X-20 cameras. This lead to some speculation that Apple would be left out in the cold with Raw decoding for X-Trans sensors.
Well, apparently not. Apple today released Raw Compatibility Update v4.05 with support for these very same cameras. So how do these two applications stack up for Fujifilm camera owners?
No image editing was enabled in either application. Files were saved out at the highest export settings. So what you see here is essentially how each application decoded the .RAF files from a Fujifilm X-20 camera. (Imagine how the Raw files from the X100S look!). In my opinion, both applications do an excellent job of handling .RAF files. And the fact that both Apple and Adobe had the RAW updates so quickly after the release of the new X-Trans cameras (X-20 & X100S), says that both are taking these cameras seriously. Well done….

I recently reviewed the Fujifilm X-E1 and really enjoyed it. As a X10 owner, I've been very interest in the X series cameras by Fujifilm so I had great hopes that they would continue to improve. They have, so I was thrilled last week when my review copy of the X20 arrived, but I was shocked when the X100s arrived this week. I thought – how perfect, I can finally get to compare some of the most exciting Fujifilm cameras all at the same time! I was in the final stages of my X20 review and quite happy with what I was seeing, so to have the new X100s in the mix is going to delay my original plans a bit. However, I think many readers will enjoy a first hand account of how they compare. I hope you stick with me for this and the subsequent articles where I do just that. Now before anyone blows a gasket, I realize that the X10/20 are very different from the XPro-1, X-E1, and X100s cameras. I'm including this comparison simply because I have all of the cameras together. I also often get asked about all of the X series cameras, so here's a one stop shop to find out what I think.
I'll dive into more details in my upcoming X20 and X100s reviews, but let me just say – Fujifilm fans rejoice – the engineers have listened and taken these charming cameras and made them usable. I'm definitely buying my X20 review unit and I'm going to have a hard time not getting the X-E1 replacement down the road (I still prefer interchangeable zoom lenses with stabilization)….

Back to old habits…or looking foward…? Leica or Fuji? | Nicole Struppert
My opinion is, that the xPro1 is doing a very good job but the M is a bit better.
The question now is, would I go back to Leica?
Well, a though question – I still love the Leica feeling, the way to take pictures and the Leica look of the M – but after shooting for one hour with the rangefinder, my eye problem were back. But, even if I wouldn't have the issues with my eye, I am not sure if I would purchase the new M. With a 35 mm lens the M costs around 8000€ – 9000€. That is a lot of money!
There was a customer at the Leica store who was asking me if the new M is worth it?
If you have the money and you love shooting with Leica YES! Instead purchasing the new M getting a used M9 or M-E – NO! The M9 is not as good as the xPro1! You get the much better package & deal with the Fujis! I will stick with Fuji! They make a brilliant job! Using the xpro1, x100 etc. is fun, it is light, fantastic lenses and the IQ is awesome and I don't have any eye problems!
…so, what about the RAW workflow?
Last week I decided to give another try – to work just with the jpegs and change a bit my settings. But it seems that the RAW file issue is now solved! Today Adobe released the new version of Lightroom. It includes now a correction to the demosaic algorithms for Fujifilm cameras with the X-Trans sensor. YEAH – problem solved! I just downloaded the new version and I am thrilled! The files look awesome… I can get now the look I want and cant wait to start my editing process. My pictures are getting back their soul and that feels damn good!
So, back to old habits?
No – I am looking forward to I stick with Fuji – for two reasons: First of all they make fantastic cameras and lenses and secondly they hear what customers say! They improved the X100 after getting feedback from Pro photographers and customers and worked together with Adobe to solve the RAW Processing problem. I just purchased the new x100S and I'm very curious to find out about the faster AF and improvements!
Is Fuji the new Leica?
In my opinion, NO – Leica will always be Leica. These are 2 different camera systems and brands… Owning a Leica is much more than owning a camera or a tool to take pictures with. You'll get a hand crafted camera with soul. It is a lifestyle and everyone who ever owned a Leica knows what I try to say.

Fuji X100s vs Fuji X-E1 vs Canon 5DMK2 vs Nikon D800 |
Jens Peter Randt
Kein Labor! Kein Vakuum! Es war das echte Leben, das uns an diesem Tag in Erinnerung rief, dass eine Kamera sich ganz anders anfühlt, wenn sie aus Metall ist! Und da dieses echte Leben mit Schwung aus Nord-Nordost kam, brachte es verdammt wenig frühlingshaftes mit. Wir ersparten uns das Notieren von Messwerten. Unsere verfrorenen Nasen und die Bilder sollten beredt Auskunft über gefühlte – 10° Celsius geben. Doch breiten wir den Mantel des Schweigens über unser Wehklagen, schließlich nehmen wir etwaige Vorzüge des Sommer ja auch in Kauf. Hoffentlich bald. Die nagelneue FUJI x100s war angekommen und bettelte förmlich darum getestet und verglichen zu werden. Natürlich draußen! In freier Wildbahn! Erwähnten wir die Temperaturen? Nun, es wundert Euch also nicht, dass sich niemand aufdrängte, um uns stundenlang für Vergleichsfotos Modell zu stehen. Niemand, außer dieser einen sexy Backsteinmauer. Für diese eine sexy Backsteinmauer ließen wir sämtliche digitale Kamerasysteme, mit denen wir aktuell fotografieren, antreten. Den ganzen Technik-Schnickschnack ersparen wir Euch und uns an dieser Stelle, da sämtliche Features der neuen x100s zur Genüge im Netz abgefeiert werden.
Es treten also an:
- Canon 5DMK2 & EF 35mm 2.0 // 21 Megapixel
- Nikon D800 & AF-G 24 @ DX-Mode (36mm Brennweite am Kleinbild ) // 16 Megapixel
- Fuji X100s & 23mm 2.0 (34,5mm Brennweite am Kleinbild) // 16 Megapixel
- Fuji X-E1 & 35mm 1,4 (52,5mm Brennweite am Kleinbild) // 16 Megapixel
Leider lässt das für diesen Test passende Fuji XF 23mm f1.4 noch auf sich warten. Ein Blick auf die Fuji Lens-Roadmap verrät aber einen Erscheinungstermin 2013. Im nächsten Post gibt es dann Bilder aus der Werkstatt von Lutz Graichen von Windflüchter Boards. Lutz baut in Rostock "Custom Made Surfboards", also ganz nach den Wünschen seiner Kunden und Timo war mit der Fuji x100s beim Shapen eines dieser "Bretter nach Maß" dabei…..

Da ich meine Fuji X-Pro1 verkauft habe und sie nun doch etwas vermisse, habe ich mir eine Fuji X100s bestellt. Zum einen da sie für Hochzeiten einfach perfekt ist – klein, unauffällig, stylisch, flüsterleise…unglaublich leise !! – zum anderen um zu sehen ob all die kleinen Probleme nun der Vergangenheit angehören. Nur soviel Vorweg, alles arbeitet perfekt. Der Autofokus ist schnell, sicher, sozusagen "spielende Kinder tauglich" und man hat nicht mehr das Gefühl das die CPU in der Kamera hoffnungslos überfordert ist. Zusätzlich ist da noch die unglaubliche Blitzsynchronisation von 1/4000sec (Zentralverschluss macht's möglich). In den nächsten Tagen lassen wir die Kleine mal gegen verschiede Kameras antreten, darunter eine Canon 5DMK2, Nikon D800 & Fuji X-E1…..

Fujifilm X100S First Look & Comparison with the X100 |
Matthew Maddock
I spend the evening, night and next morning with the camera (I was up at 6 to keep trying it!) and tried it in all the sort of situations that I'd normally use my X100. I had already decided I wasn't going to upgrade (at least not yet) as my X100 is now pretty much just a personal camera and I have other commitments to buying some more professional work kit before I can go and drop £1099 on a new camera just for fun! I was none-the-less excited about the latest Fujifilm camera as I'm a huge fan of their X-Series cameras. I know I might not have had it to test for a long time, but I know how I use my cameras and I know what sort of shots I take and put it through the same sort of routine I would on a daily basis with my X100 and can spot any issues pretty quickly.
I first ran around the house chasing my little girl and trying to get photos of her (any camera that can get in-focus shots of her has got to be good!) The X100S was certainly getting a lot more hits than my X100 would normally do. I started to believe the hype surrounding this camera, and some of the things I've read online. I was already thinking of how I could explain to my wife that I wanted yet another camera after telling her previously that I didn't need it! +1 for the X100S! My wife and I were due to go out to a restaurant that evening. The X100S came along (as my X100 would normally). To start with it was performing well, then it got dark. I couldn't get it to focus on my wife's face. I gave up and switched to MF, and using the brilliant split-screen focusing I could continue shooting without any more frustration. Wow, that split-screen focus-assist mode is fantastic – whoever thought of putting that on the X100S should get a large pay rise! Twist the focus ring, it zooms in automatically, line up the split rectangles and boom! You've got your shot. I do remember saying something about not using MF on my X100 and wondering why anyone would bother, well with the split-screen assist mode I can absolutely see why someone would use it! +1 for the X100S! Sadly though the love affair with this new camera was starting to fade – it was still missing in auto-focus and frustrating me. Again, it was faces that it had a problem with – I don't know what it is with Fujifilm and faces, all their X-Series cameras seem to suffer from this issue! After we got back, I took a wander around the streets in the dark on my own (I do love night time scenes in a deserted town). This time I took both the X100S and the X100. I carefully set both cameras to identical settings beforehand. I started testing out the high ISO to compare the two cameras. The X100S really does out-perform the X100 here, anything over ISO 1600 and you can really notice the difference, get to ISO 6400 and it's seriously ahead, another +1 for the X100S. Then things started to go wrong again. I found a bench lit by a streetlight from above. The X100S resolutely refused to focus no matter what I did. I switched to split-screen, but because the bench had only horizontal slats I couldn't see the splits in the focus panel! Now I understand why they put focus-peeking in as well! I got it focused and took a few shots, then switched to my X100 – bang, AF locked first time!! I repeated this over and over, checked the settings on both cameras – the X100S totally refused to focus where the X100 got it every time. I couldn't really believe it – after everything I had read about how wonderful the new AF system on the X100S was and that it was slaughtering the poor old X100, but here I was with the X100 locking AF where the X100S just wouldn't! Several other incidents that night proved to show the same thing. I got up early the next morning and sat the X100S and X100 up side-by-side to do a video comparing the two, running through the differences and the new X100S menu system, followed by some AF tests. Initially the X100S was outperforming the X100, as I fully expected that it would do, then I turned the lights out – the X100 started focus quicker than the X100S. I closed the blinds and they both ended up pretty much identical! There is one case where the X100S is very clearly way ahead of the X100 and that's close range shooting – you no longer have to switch to macro mode for things that are at close-ish range (30-50cm) to get it to autofocus reliably – and that's where the X100S was beating my X100 the previous evening shooting my little girl. The X100S is so much faster than the X100 at that, you can hardly tell that they are related. The problem comes when you get into low light, where phase-detection doesn't work all that well. For some reason it looks like Fujifilm have installed an older AF firmware routine in the X100S than the X100! As I say in the video (below) I think a lot of people, particularly ones that only ever used the X100 at launch don't realise just how much better the X100 became after Fujifilm started releasing firmware updates for it. If you don't believe me then have a look in the video below. I'm not trying to put the X100S down, I'm a massive Fujifilm X-Series fan and I'd much rather tell you that it's better and harp on about how wonderful it is and you should buy it, but I'm not going to lie just because I love Fujifilm! ….

Aperture, Lightroom…Capture One! Finally the Odyssee ends |
Nicole Struppert
It's been a while since I posted something on my blog. I needed a little break from photography and time to reflect last year! I have been on the road for more than 6 months lately. It was an exciting and fantastic year! I got a contract with a press agency, shot at the Olympics in London, the US-elections and switched my gear from Leica M to Fuji X-100 & Fuji X-Pro1. The x-Pro 1 is not a Leica – honestly I miss my Leica from time to time – but the xPro is a trusty partner in nearly all situations. But there is one thing that I don't like with the x-Pro – working with the RAW files! I used to work with Aperture. But till now they don't support the RAW files of the x-series of Fuji. I hope that this will change with the upcoming Aperture X ! There are so many rumors with Apple releasing the new Aperture X – but I finally came to the point that I am not willing to wait anymore! With the x-series, I switched from Aperture to Lightroom. I have never been a huge fan of Lightroom – I never liked the interface – but with every software there are pro's and con's. So I tried to make the best of the situation to get along. I have to admit – I have never spend so much time editing my files! Till now, after hours of editing I still don't get the look I want with Lightroom. It really sucks, cause usually I uploaded my Leica DNG files, edited a bit the curves and that was it. You can imagine that I was very excited when Capture Oneannounced the support of the x-files! I downloaded the trial version and I tested C1 for a few weeks. All I have to say – it is such a relief! The RAF files are looking great! The colors, the details & skin tones of the pictures look amazing! Here is a comparison of 2 random shots from Venice Beach last year. RAF files straight out of the camera – not editing at all. The jpegs look great in Capture One, but I have to admit, that I do like the Aperture file a bit more. So finally after months and weeks I came to the decision that I will work with Capture one & Aperture! Capture One – because of the fantastic RAW Converter & Aperture for the interface, the file managing and the plug-In's (VSCO, Nik Software) I use. I know that Capture One is not cheap at all and again I have to get used to another software – but at the end of the day I want to achieve the best result for a picture within a minimum of time. I know it will take a bit of time to get used to Capture One – but there are fantastic Online Tutorials on youTube and everything looks pretty easy so far. I also like that u can switch the interface & tools the way you prefer it. For me – my Odyssee has ended and I feel pretty good with my decision. I hope I could help some of you who are in a similar position but at the end of the day it is a personal question of the preferred look and feel! ….

Fujifilm X-E1 Review | Tim Bray
What happened was, this month includes trips to Tokyo and the Big Island. And lately I've been reading about cameras full of shiny new ideas. So I decided to indulge myself; here are way too many words about the state of cameras in general and in particular the one I bought. SLRs are fat-bodied because you need a big glass prism to bend the light from the lens to the viewfinder. If you lose the prism, you free camera designers from a bunch of constraints. Most obviously, you can have smaller thinner bodies that are friendlier to hand and handbag…..
Nice Things About the X-E1
The viewfinder is just brilliant. If I have my glasses on I can compose on the back of the camera. If I don't, I put the viewfinder to my eye; it's got a proximity sensor and lights up automatically. The visual readout in the viewfinder is very good, and it's got a diopter adjustment for less-than-perfect eyes. The ergonomics are nifty; there's no mode dial! The aperture and shutter speed are visible at a glance and on manual dials, looking down at the camera top. If both are on "A", you're in full-auto mode. If you set the shutter speed you're in shutter-priority, if you set the F-stop, you're in Aperture priority, if you set both, you're in manual. Which makes the mode dials on most SLRs feel kind of superfluous and stupid. The menus aren't that great but you'll never need to use them. There's a button marked "Q" that brings up a grid of the most commonly-used settings. It's stupidly quick and easy to twiddle what you need to. It's a bit lighter than my K-5, and both the prime & zoom are a lot lighter than their counterparts. In particular, the X-E1/35mm combo is really a treat to hold in your hand, or to sling over your shoulder for hours at a time.
Below from left to right: Canon S100, X-E1 (with the 35mm F1.4), and K-5 (with that Sigma). The Pentax and Fuji are about the same width, but the Fuji (and its lens) are smaller along every other dimension. The camera makes outstanding JPGs, creamy-smooth and with great white-balance guessing. I shoot raw anyhow because I like fiddling with pictures in Lightroom (had to install the 4.4 beta), but you probably don't really need to, and in some low-light shots the camera might do a better job at noise reduction than Lightroom ……
Of course, you still need to see what you're shooting. One approach is the traditional optical rangefinder, as in the Leica M; a little window through the camera that looks out beside, not through, the main lens. Or you can take what the sensor is seeing and route it electronically to a screen on the back of the camera, or to a viewfinder you hold up to your eye, or both. Generally speaking, serious cameras which have managed to lose the prism are now called "compact format". For a while, it looked like we'd say "EVIL", for Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens, but that didn't quite catch on; a pity.SLRs are fat-bodied because you need a big glass prism to bend the light from the lens to the viewfinder.

What Once We Called EVIL · For a while there, everything was either a point-&-shoot (meh) or an SLR (good); SLRs compete in a nice linear way around megapixels and sensitivity and ergonomics and lenses.

This page will get updated as I get to know the camera better. Having used the previous model, the X100, I will primarily focus on the differences between these two models.
I will also link to photos as soon as I have had time to shoot properly. Check back in a while! :)
Auto focus
- Let's just get that one out of the way. Incredible speed-up compared with the X100. Nothing more to add. It's fantastic.
- There is something called "High Performance" under "Power Management" in the settings, which will increase AF speed further (as well as shorten startup time). I will get back on how this may impact the focus speed. Somehow it doesn't feel important as the AF speed is already fantastic.
Manual focusing and the MF ring
- The MF ring is quick, responsive and smooth and it just works! It features variable sensitiveness and becomes more sensitive as you go closer (e.g. macro), requiring more turns.
- You can set the camera to automatically zoom into the MF assist modes (standard, focus peaking, split image) when you touch the MF ring. Half-pressing the shutter will zoom out. Nice feature!
- Quickly switch between AF-S and MF as they are now the outer options of the switch on the side of the camera. Minor design difference which gives major impact on how I will use this camera.
Hybrid viewfinder
- Higher resolution is very noticeable and refreshing.
- Less lag, if any.
- Auto ISO is now available in the same menu as ISO.
- ND no longer accessible from Q menu (but can still be assigned to the Fn button, just like on the X100). It should really be added to the new Q menu though (via future firmware update), if possible.
- Menus feel much snappier, no lag anywhere. Now you can shoot and use the menus immediately without any lockup of the menus.
- The menus are now organized and with tabs on the side and the new Q menu is a quick way to choose – or divert from – the three saved custom settings (C1, C2, C3).
- Hold and press Q results in increased brightness of LCD. Great for shooting outdoors in bright light. Nice!
- Possible bug: The Q menu's "Basic" mode does not remember the Auto ISO setting when switching between C1/C2/C3/Basic. Instead it inherits values from custom profiles C1 or C3 (depending on which way you scroll through the three custom profiles). To clarify, "Basic" mode is what your camera is set to when you haven't loaded a saved custom setting or what happens when you load a saved custom setting (e.g. C1) and then divert from it by changing a setting on top of it.
- The MF ring works really well while recording video. When turning the MF ring, it's hard to not shake the camera (just like with any camera) and some sound noise is generated.
- Much improved bitrate/quality, video looks great.
- MF assist does not work with video, where it is badly needed. Especially focus peaking. I hope Fuji will implement this in a future firmware update.
- Macro control can't be reached in video mode (you have to exit video mode and enable macro, then go back into video mode and it will work).
- There sometimes seems to be strobing in video shot the wider you go and in certain lighting conditions. This is probably just the way it works as the camera is setting the shutter automatically (this also means no need for zebra). When I've experienced strobing, I can just go less wide and it disappears. It's a non-issue to me.
- Both 30 and 60 fps modes produce a 1920×1080 movie. I'll check and see if there are different bitrates to them. I'll also perform a slowdown test from 60fps to 30 fps to see how slow motion would look.
- JPEG blacks by default seem to too dark for my taste. I'm experimenting with custom shadow tone values here…
- Sometimes noise reduction smearing at default value when pixel peeping at 100% scale. I'm experimenting with custom NR values here………

Fujifilm EF-20 v EF-X20 Flash | Matthew Maddock
The X100, X-Pro1 and X-E1 are famous for their low-light, high-ISO capabilities, but sometimes a touch of flash can make an image pop where is could be flat otherwise. This is especially true in bright sunlight where harsh shadows and bright backgrounds can often lead to subjects not being properly exposed, or having harsh and ugly shadows across their faces. A fill-in flash can make all the difference. If used properly, flash can enhance a scene and allow you to use a lower ISO to get better image quality without the caught-in-the-headlights look so often associated with it. That's another topic though, but I came to the realisation that with the correct use of flash I could enhance my images, so I started looking for the best way to add an external flash to my X-Series cameras. The X-Pro1 doesn't have an on-board flash, so I initially bought the Fujifilm EF-20 flash as it was half the price of the X-Series EF-X20 version of what was seemingly basically the same flash in a different body! I didn't see the point of buying the "X" version. I was happy enough with the EF-20, it worked well and was nice and compact for the X100 and X-Pro1, although it does hang a little far forwards….
Summary of the differences between the EF-20 and the EF-X20
- Both flashes work in TTL with the X-Pro1, X-E1, X100, X100s, X20, X10 and X-S1 cameras and I believe they work with some of the Fujifilm bridge cameras as well.
- Both flashes have a Guide Number of 20, which is significantly more than the on-board flashes, though that reduces to 12 with the wide-angle option on the EF-X20.
- The EF-20 can tilt 90 degrees up to allow you to bounce flash whereas the EF-X20 is fixed facing forwards.
- The EF-X20 can operate as a slave, which means it can be used off camera wirelessly.
- The EF-X20 has +/-EV controls as a simple dial and full manual control down to 1/64th. The EF-20 is purely TTL.
- The EF-20 uses 2xAA batteries where the EF-X20 uses 2xAAA batteries.
- The EF-20 retails for around £80 where the EF-X20 retails around £170.

BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) Rural Metro Medical Services has come under fire by Buffalo Common Council Member Christopher P. Scanlon regarding emergency response times.
"They're talking about a matter of minutes, and when we're talking about minutes-minutes equal lives," said Scanlon.
This news comes just two months after the city extended Rural Metro's contract to be the exclusive ambulance provider for the City of Buffalo until June 30.
"Just this past weekend, we had an incident in South Buffalo where two people were not in very good shape following an accident," said Council Member Scanlon. "It took them 20 minutes to arrive on scene."
Rural Metro says according to their current contract, city firefighters are the primary first responders and often first on the scene. At this particular crash, the company says it arrived on scene in 13 minutes.
Rural Metro says it's a completely acceptable time statistic according to their current contract. The current contract does not have a required emergency response time.
"There's speculation as to an ambulance response time in a system the way this was designed is completely acceptable," said John Karolzak, Chief Relations Officer, Rural Metro.
The city is currently reviewing proposals for an ambulance service provider. In the new contract, the city would like to see a response time of 8 minutes. Rural Metro feels they are being judged not under current contract conditions, but to what the city would like to see in the new contract.
"Coming under fire for meeting our current obligations is unfounded," said Karolzak."
Rural Metro's contract with the City of Buffalo expires on June 30.

Diesel generator sets basic operation principle and the junc
The basic operation of the diesel generator sets the principle and diesel generator sets structure analysis, diesel driven generators operate, diesel energy into electricity, and can be divided into different depending on its use, land use diesel generator sets and marine diesel generator sets.
A basic principle of operation:
Diesel engine-driven generator operation, which is fundamental. Diesel energy into electricity. Diesel engine cylinder, through the clean air after the filtering of the air cleaner with the fuel injector ejecting a high-pressure atomizing diesel sufficiently mixed in the extrusion of the piston upward, the volume is reduced, the temperature increased rapidly to reach the ignition of diesel fuel. Diesel ignited intense burning of the gas mixture, the volume of the rapid expansion of downstream push the piston, known as 'do work'. Each cylinder certain order of work is, the thrust after acting on the piston rod has become the driving force of crankshaft rotation, so as to drive the crankshaft rotation. Brushless synchronous AC generator with diesel engine crankshaft coaxial installation, you can take advantage of the rotation of the diesel engine driven generator rotor, 'electromagnetic induction' principle, the generator will output the induced electromotive force will be able to generate the current through the load circuit closed .
Structural analysis of diesel generator sets:
A common type diesel generator set is mainly composed by three parts of diesel engines, generators and control systems, diesel engines and generators have two connections, one for a flexible connection, that butt coupling of two parts, the second rigid connection generator connecting piece of steel and diesel engine flywheel disk is connected with high strength bolts from diesel generator sets currently on the market use a more rigid connection, install diesel engines and generators connected public bottom shelf, and then coupled with a variety of protective effect sensors, such as temperature sensors, these sensors, visually diesel engine running state to the operator, and with these sensors, you can set an upper limit, when reached or exceeded the limit value when the control system will be pre-alarm, this time if the operator does not have to take measures to control the system will automatically turning off the unit, diesel generator sets in this way is to take from the self-protective effect.
Sensor to receive a variety of information and feedback from the true indication of these data and the implementation of the protective function of the control system of diesel generator sets, control panel is usually installed in the generator, called the backpack-control screen, some independent a screen placed in the operating room, called split control panel, the control panel through the cables and generators and sensors are connected, respectively, show the electrical parameters and diesel engine operating parameters. The generator sets also chassis, coupling, radiator, fuel tank, and some also equipped with muffler and cover.

By P.H. Burbridge (A voice in the crowd) - The WBC Super welterweight champion Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora (21-0-1, 5 KOs) finds himself in a precarious situation these days. Its a good situation but it also has the potential to turn out bad. REAL bad! A gift from boxing heaven in the form of Oscar De La Hoya has almost dropped squarely into his lap! All he has to do on Saturday, September 13, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas is beat Former two-division World Champion Vernon "The Viper" Forrest (40-3, 29 KOs), AGAIN! Sounds simple but it wont be because Vernon Forrest will undoubtedly be in much better condition this time around and no one knows that better then Sergio Mora..
Prior to the recent news that Oscar De La Hoya was considering Mora as his final ring opponent I was looking forward to the Mora vs Forrest rematch. Now, that the stakes have been raised beyond my expectations Im really looking forward to it! The first fight was interesting and it turned out to be a real test of wills with Mora having to dig deep to win the title. Sergio showed some real mental toughness and I was impressed with his determination. He was hungry and he managed to succeed in enough spots to leave as the champion. It wasnt a stunning performance but he certainly stuck to his guns and saw his plan through. Frankly, it was kind of an ugly fight. One thing that takes a little while to get used to is Sergio switching back and forth between the orthodox and southpaw stance. So, far its worked for him but I think one day someones going to catch him and hell end up taking an unnecessary knockdown because hes squared up. But, on that night he got away with it and Forrest simply ran out of gas. Vernon seemed intent on testing Sergios chin that night rather then going after the body which would have gone a long way to slowing him down. Mora proved his toughness by taking some good shots without losing his composure so Forrest must mix in more body work if he hopes to reverse the outcome in the rematch. Granted, Vernons best days are well behind him hes still a solid professional whose skills allowed him to capture a second world title at an advanced age. This guy knows how to fight! I expect the rematch to be MUCH more interesting then the first one because I think Forrest can make the necessary adjustments to make it more competitive and I also think his conditioning will be much better. Knowing that Mora can fight at a fast pace all night long is something that wont be lost on Vernon and his team. Theyll be prepared for it and well get a better fight.
Vernon Forrest CAN win this fight!
Im sure its going to be a nerve wracking experience for Mora and his team because they know that he either steps into the spotlight of big time boxing or he becomes a cautionary tale.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for Mora and not only does he need to beat Forrest but he needs to do it without sustaining any type of injury. A bad cut and hes out! A broken hand and hes out! A torn shoulder muscle and hes out! A lot of bad things could happen that could eliminate him from the De La Hoya fight. My feeling is that Sergio will be in supreme condition for this fight and will pull through but it will be contested theres no question about that. If Mora does make it I think he has the style and hand speed to beat De La Hoya. Sergio wont knock Oscar out he only has 5 KOs on his record but I do think hell beat Oscar up with his holding and hitting and his confusing helter skelter style. If Steve Forbes bruised up Oscar I think Sergio Mora will really alter his appearance. Im a little surprised Oscar chose Mora because the style doesnt seem to suit him. Mora is unpredictable and a bit of a wildcard. Oscar may be making a mistake here because if he cant hurt Mora or keep pace with him then I think he finishes his career with a loss.
A fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Sergio Mora could end up looking a lot like the first Vernon Forrest fight. It wont be pretty and you might just see Mora out hustle an aging Golden Boy!
But, first things first, Mora!
Get rid of Forrest and stay healthy doing it because if you dont you may never get this close to a WORLD spotlight again!

The 33-year-old set a best time of 1.42.175 to finish 0.880s behind reigning world champion Casey Stoner in pole position, but he was happier with the front and...

Set up an aluminium 270 BHP bike for his what ? 20th something outing on the bike and he rewards the factory commitment with a 9th.
Had Stoner delivered as useless an effort as this in 2008 none of his detractors would have a Ducati or Stoner to complain about right now.
You know...2nd year, 2nd year with factory backing,sponsorship backing.

Watching qualy last night, only to see Florence and his machine pushing the front end through the right hander in particular, with considerable understeer, where the rest are oversteering and accelerating through the apex.
Then, I looked at the position the clown has on the bike! Fk me I thought, he might as well have a fkn Gibson SuperJumbo200 strapped to his back on the way to music practice!
If there was ever an indication this blokes onions have shrivelled to nothing, this is it!
btw, could see it a lot, but best footage was around the 10min 30sec to go mark (superslowmo).
bbtw, I see the ally swingarm has been dumped already, another premature running off at the mouth from the master of development. Why are ducati putting up with this bullshit.

"It just isn't working, is it??????????????"As an exercise in highlighting the relative talents of Rossi against Casey, I'd say it's working perfectly.And as a demonstration of the superior level of support that Rossi gets over the rest of the field ... again ... perfect.I still think Rossi is a decent rider though. He can still put the best wet-weather bike on the podium in the wet (when he doesn't crash it).

so yeah, as this year comes to an ends, what have we learned about pop music?
we've learned that the same people complaining about the X Factor winners single being a Miley Cyrus song because it wasn't credible will complain when this years X Factor winner releases a Biffy Clyro cover, because it was by a band 'too credible' to be covered for an X Factor's winners single.
we've learned that 'da club' is the place to be.
we've learned Oli Murs song writing skills are 'a bit shit'.
we've learned that people will say 'but Matt Cardle writes his own songs, he must be better than the rest of the contestants', when 99% of people haven't heard Matt Cardle's horrible attempt at writing songs.
we've learned Diana Vickers is still fantastic.
we've learned a lot in 2010.
ridiculous colabs, (un)credible music & angry kanye.
- for the second year in a row, many credible bands lend there name to teen vampire drama (NME)
- dizzee rascal wants to collaborate with MARILYN MANSON (NME)
- same difference still releasing semi listenable tunes, also not dead (pop justice)
- kanye west, others angry about things (BBC)

Deterioration in Aldermore service Anna43
Until the experience with opening this FR account, I had found dealing with Aldermore more straightforward than with other banks. i'm sorry to say that on this occasion they initially provided only part of the information I needed about transferring funds already with Aldermore to this account. An employee offered to ring me but then failed to do so at the time agreed. I had to contact Aldermore again. All very unsatisfactory.

A good company for savers grover
We were imporessed that when our iyear bond matured Aldemore put the money in a similar bond, whereas other companies put our money in a ..1% fund

Good although minor improvement possible YosemiteLover
Product suits my needs and is competitive in difficult market for savers. Facilities for short trerm additional funding could be better: direct transfer from another Aldermore account in same name is not offered on website, although when this was queried a solution by phoning was quickly offered (within 24 hours).

Easy access to helpful staff Fritze
No time wasting by silly call attendants and waiting "for the next available adviser, because we are very busy" As a self employed consultant, half an hour of my time is £100 lost. which is equivalent to 0.5% on a £10k investment over two years.

Competitive Interest rate from a UK based challenger bank TopCat
Found the multiple references confusing and the need for additional ID baffling. There was also initial inflexibility,y vagueness and non customer-centric attitude from the help desk which was irksome. Fortunately it was overcome by escalation and helpful intervention of a team-leader. The issue related to delay in opening account and ensuring interest date at time of application would still apply. In the end it did and the overall service level returned to satisfactory+.

suited my needs perfectly Vintage
After 5 years with a fixed rate Bond,all yearly paperwork confirming tax paid etc. arrived on time without me asking, Bond came up for renewal,paper work and options easy to follow,rates a cut above the others ,not only renewed but also added extra funds taken from another provider. Well done for making paper work straight forward,with great options.

It's not about loyalty but who offers the best rate Portbell
When I choose where to invest, I don't consider loyalty, no one got rich by being loyal. I look at the best rate on offer and invariably Aldermore comes out on top. Obviuosly, I have to consider the £85000 issue when investing which is a problem, as I have to ensure the possibility of not being protected in the event of losing my money should anything unforeseen occur.

A responsive, helpful organisation stratdl
This was my first venture into placing savings with a non high street bank. I am not the brightest on computers and had a few queries, but a couple of phone calls to Aldermore resolved these, the staff being very helpful. I am pleased to find a responsive, helpful organisation who were very prompt in sending correspondence.

Experience so far Messina
My father's two accounts have only just been opened so it's a bit early to ask me if I'm pleased but your admin leaves me feeling distinctly unimpressed. I received two letters which told me to ring a. Umber to gain an internet ID. Number given was wrong, has been changed, so why did recent letters still have it printed? When I did get through, was told that I shouldn't ring for internet ID; it should have arrived in a Welcome Pack in the post.nit still hasn't. Not too pleased so far.

Tricky Account Opening Boudicea
Took several weeks to open. Didn't hear anything so phoned. "We're very busy with applications. The rate may be withdrawn so please send cheque immediately to secure it." Cheque was sent by return but but when still didn't hear anything, phoned again, only to find that despite sending cheque the money had indeed been deposited at a lower rate! Everything was sorted out satisfactorily and the higher rate (best on the market) was given, which is why I gave good rating for service, but the hassle opening the account was disappointing.

Prompt service with prompt written confirmations Debbie
I am a first-time saver with Aldermore. I am not usually inclined to open accounts via the 'internet', however, the instructions were so clear that completion of the application form was made very simple. I was impressed with the prompt written confirmations. A very good service provider.

Very effecient and suited my requirements Penny3
I had not heard of Aldermore before I read a review in the Daily Mail. My current bond was maturing and the rate of interest I was quoted elsewhere was pretty dismal so I decided to change my bank to Aldermore where the rate was very competitive. The process was very easy and so far I have been impressed. I will definitely look towards Aldermore when I need to find a home for any forthcoming available money.

Best in the market for value and service Lloyd

Incredibly easy to open an account MT124
As a bank I had never heard of before, I did some thorough research on the web. The background and future prospects for the bank looked good and most of the reviews were positive as well. Opening a savings account was incredibly easy. So easy in fact that I was amazed at how little time it took. Just one small piece of feedback I'd like to give is that it would have been better if the application process had made it much clearer that no further supporting documents were needed. I only got a message saying something along the lines of "if you haven't been asked for any documents then you're all set" which was great, but it also begged the question "have I actually been asked for more or did I miss it?" None of the e-mail confirmations I received stated anything concrete about this. So it would have been less confusing to be told clearly that no further action on my part was required. This stumped me particularly because the whole process of opening an account was done in a matter of minutes, so I kept thinking "surely there's something else I need to do?" All follow-up paperwork was also sent very speedily. The company clearly has invested a lot in providing a user-friendly and efficient online service, so I'm very pleased. I think they have reached a good balance for users like me, who prefer to use efficient web sites, but still require the peace of mind of getting just the necessary paperwork through the post.

Hard to rate this bank fairly RedRobin
I opened this account online. Although the application process was efficient, I found the DD part confusing, even though I rang Aldermore to ask. There were mixed messages by both post and email, on one hand saying that the money would be taken from my bank account on a certain day but other messages saying that it was up to me to move the money in. In the event, Aldermore took the money by DD, so it was lucky I had the money sitting there in my bank account.
23 Oct 2014
Best 5 yr savings
The 5yr fixed rate accounts are usually near the top of the interest rate tables and I have found the service from Aldermore responsive and helpful. e.g even though I failed to repsond by the deadline for 'rollover' instructions they provide a period of 5 days grace for late instructions. The staff I have spoken too have always been helpful and I've had no problems with the online service.

Friendly and efficient account opening process David46
I use a number of financial institutions for savings and investments and consider Aldermore to compare favourably with its rivals offering a product that is competitive combined with an efficient service.

Account took 4 weeks to open Nanni
I am happy with the product, but the opening process took 4 weeks by which time the interest rate had changed from 3.1% to 3%. Far too slow.
11 Oct 2014
A good interwest rate at this time GolferKK
It was not made clear that the initial deposit would be taken by direct debit. In my experience this is unusual. It's much more common to open the account and then for the saver to make an electronic transfer of the funds. I transferred the funds, then Aldermore applied a Direct Debit and took the funds again. It was fortunate that my bank was able to recall the Direct Debit transfer.

Daimler AG's Mercedes (DAIMLER) team rejected the terms of an initial offer from CVC Capital Partners Ltd. to remain in Formula One after this year, a person with direct knowledge of the situation said.
The auto-racing team is considering its options, including a legal challenge, after Sky News reported March 19 Ferrari SpA (FERI) and Red Bull GmbH's entries would get higher signing-on fees to stay on through 2020, said the person, who declined to be identified because the matter is confidential.
The existing terms tying Mercedes to Formula One expire after this season, which ends on Nov. 25.
Formula One's plan to raise cash with a debt refinancing and possible share sale could be undercut should series owner CVC fail to renew terms with all teams, according to Xander Heijnen, a partner of Munich-based CNC Communications & Network Consulting.
"CVC will want to do a deal with Mercedes as soon as possible to satisfy the financial markets," said Heijnen, who has advised Formula 1 teams on strategy.
CVC bought Formula One in a buyout in 2005 and 2006, using $2.5 billion of loans. The London-based private-equity firm, which owns 63.4 percent of the series, is exploring a possible sale of a stake in an initial public offering, a person with knowledge of the matter said March 20.
CVC also began the process of extending its debt, which involves raising $2.27 billion of new credit facilities due in 2017 and 2018 to replace its existing $2.92 billion in loans due in 2013 and 2014, according to a March 27 statement.
Other Teams
Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren, the top-three ranked teams last season, are among those that agreed to renew terms, series chief executive Bernie Ecclestone told Formula1.com on March 24, without giving further details. Mercedes finished fourth in the 12-team standings last season.
Stuttgart-based Daimler has owned the team, whose drivers include record seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, since November 2009 when it bought then champion Brawn Grand Prix with Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments PJSC. Mercedes had been a partner in the McLaren team for 14 years.
Mercedes team chief executive Nick Fry declined to comment about the negotiations with CVC. Ecclestone also declined to give details about the talks.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on federal agency information resources management (IRM) problems documented in previous GAO reports.
GAO found that: (1) 132 of the 192 reports that the GAO Information Management and Technology Division issued between October 1, 1988 and May 31, 1991, identified one or more IRM-related problems; and (2) the most common IRM problem that federal agencies experienced was inadequate management of the information system development life cycle. GAO also found that other IRM problems that federal agencies have experienced include: (1) ineffective oversight; (2) the inability to ensure information system security, integrity, or reliability; (3) systems incompatibility; (4) inadequate resources to accomplish IRM goals; (5) cost overruns; (6) schedule delays; (7) information systems not performing as intended; (8) inaccurate, unreliable, or incomplete data; and (9) poorly designed systems that make access to data time-consuming or cumbersome.

14 With the short-block more or less complete, let's have a look at the heads. Mike Ware likes to stick with 5.7 castings on his Gen III Hemi long-block combos, and not just because they are the most available and affordable. More importantly, Mike feels that port volume and cross section on the rarer and pricier 6.1 or 6.4 heads are so large as to hinder low-lift flow velocity. That said, he did CNC port our factory 5.7 castings, but purposely kept volumes smaller than on 6.1 heads to promote velocity and, therefore, torque. He also enlarged the intake valve seat to 2.100-inch diameter, allowing use of 6.1-spec 2.08-inch Manley valves (the factory 5.7 intake valve is a smallish 2 inches). Exhaust valves are also upsized from the factory's 1.55 inches to 1.60 (which does not require seat mods).

VALPARAISO | The rematch between Mayor Jon Costas and former Councilman Bob McCasland could help determine the city's path for more than the next four years.
Costas, 54, defeated McCasland, 60, in the Republican primary four years ago. McCasland decided to run as an Independent this time because "I don't have the financial resources behind me that he has." No Democrats filed to run in the general election.
When he first ran in 2003, Costas set his goals for his first term. This later was used to write his five-year strategic plan after he was elected. That was revised in 2009 for another five years after his second election victory. If elected to a third term, Costas said he wants to develop a 10- to 20-year plan for the city.
"Now that we've accomplished many of the obvious things, like fixing the streets, repairing sidewalks, starting a city bus service and a commuter bus service, and we have a plan for U.S. 30, where does the city want to be in 10 or 20 years?" he said. "In 2013 I want to take on a very ambitious strategic planning process involving virtually everybody in the city."
Costas expects the plan to take a year to develop. Meanwhile, goals remain from the current plan, such as complete the recommendations for the U.S. 30 corridor, find a solution to the need for a new public works facility, continue infrastructure improvements and investments in the downtown, develop a shovel-ready business park for new businesses and work with existing businesses to help them expand.
McCasland said he would be a full-time mayor and eliminate the city administrator's position created shortly after Costas took office. He said he would redirect the city's Redevelopment Commission to be totally focused on job creation.
"We're going to go out and get sustainable jobs," he said. "I think $40,000 for a family of four isn't a lot of money. We need to create jobs that aren't necessarily restaurant jobs."
McCasland said his campaign is based on "transparent and ethical government," adding, "You can't be mayor and a developer at the same time" because of the conflict of interest. He also favors term limits.
"Government has to be more open to the people," McCasland said. "Too many things operate in secrecy. It's the same implications as in Lake County. I would create a merit board for city employees to clean up the ethics problem. I don't think employees need to worry about what party the mayor is. They are employees of the city, not the mayor. I have no partisan politics, and I owe no one anything and I made no promises."
Costas said if voters like what's happened in the city the past eight years and want to see it continue, and, if they feel prouder about the community than they did eight years ago, they should vote for him.
McCasland said, "It's time for the city to have a full-time mayor and that's his only job. Why are we paying two people to do the mayor's job? If you don't want the job, don't run for it. I'm not taking money from vendors or large contributions from people. To me, that's the way things ought to be done. Above board."
Costas is a lawyer with Burke, Costanza and Carberry in addition to owning a restaurant. He and his wife, Sharon, have four children. McCasland owns McCasland Leasing and MEL-REB Inc. He and his wife, Sharon, have two children and two grandchildren.
