And he'll be played by the same guy who played Khal Drogo. Advertisement While it hasn't been announced by Warner Bros. yet, movie site Hitfix seem awfully confident that Jason Momoa has been cast, writing:HitFix can confirm that he will be playing the part, and that Zack Snyder has already finalized his designs for the character so shooting can take place soon.This isn't the first time Momoa has been linked with the role, but it's the first time someone has stuck their neck out and said it's for real. Advertisement They also report that while Aquaman won't have a major role in the movie, he will be turning up to let Superman know he's not exactly happy with the mess that was made at the end of Man of Steel. That appearance will also set the stage for him turning up in the Justice League movie.I hope it's true. Momoa made a name for himself playing a badass with a beard. Modern Aquaman has a beard and is in need of being a little more badass. It'd be a good fit.Jason Momoa will play Aquaman in 'Dawn Of Justice,' and we know how it will happen [Hitfix]Reply189 repliesLeave a reply

Good idea to hold next year's G8 summit in Northern Ireland. Hope one year we might have such an event come to Cumbria.
In both cases it would be a big boost to tourism in the area: in both cases the area could do with that boost in these difficult times.

Chris is a recent chairman of Cumbria Conservatives, a former member of Copeland Borough council, and an Honorary Alderman of the City and District of St Albans.

I imagine that the commonwealth games in Glasgow 2014 will bring a boost to Cumbria.
OK perhaps not so much to Whitehaven, but I can see Carlisle and Penrith with their trains and the motorway doing well from it. - 9:01 am

You can write to persecuted Christians today. Letter writing is an effective way of directly reaching our brothers and sisters who are imprisoned because of their Christian witness.
When VOM asked Pastor Shi Weihan's daughter Lily if the letters really mattered to their family, especially since they couldn't read English, she said, "One drop of rain probably doesn't make any difference, but all together they make a storm. And that will probably make a difference."
"Just hearing that people sent us letters was a great encouragement to us," said Maryam and Marzieh, two young Christians who were imprisoned in Iran. "We heard from our guards that forty to fifty letters were coming every day. This was something that gave us hope."
And "Boun", a Southeast Asian man who spent 12 years in prison for his faith, told us the letters he received made him joyful because he knew he was not forgotten. His face still shines when he speaks about the letters.
Each kit includes eight prisoner profiles and eight self-mailers to help you write letters to imprisoned believers. Get your youth group, Sunday school class or whole church involved! Or make it a family or small-group project and write a letter to a prisoner weekly. Purchase a pack of 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100.
Learn more about this project in our Frequently Asked Questions page.

What's the real story in switching calibers on Savage rifles?
I got some good answers here and, have done some research on what's involved in switching barrels on my .270wssm model 116 Savage rifle. It appears that changing barrels is pretty straightforward. The tools and barrel are a little costly though.
Questions; Will the .243wssm and .300wssm both fit my detachable box magazine and my bolt face? Is there any round larger than .308 that will fit my .270wssm magazine or bolt stroke without modifications? Could I get-by with purchasing the magazine only for a larger round?
If God is on my side, nothing can come against me! |

HOUSTON, Miss. – (WCBI) A Houston neighborhood that's dealt with its share of pot holes and drainage problems for years is seeing some relief.
City crews are digging up old curbs and pavement along Chestnut Street. Plans also call for the installation of new drainage and underground lines.
Nearby Griffin and Pecan Lanes are also on the list for work this summer.
The areas were moved to the top of the city's list of repairs after work was delayed for two years because aldermen had to balance street work with available bond money.

SDG&E Donating $1.2M To San Diego And Orange County Nonprofits
Monday, November 11, 2013
San Diego Gas & Electric will donate more than $1.2 million to nonprofit organizations in San Diego and Orange counties, utility officials announced Monday.
The donation will be made through the utility's "Helping People in Need" initiative, and will be used to help the local military and veteran population along with those in underserved communities, SDG&E officials said.
"During this time of the year, our 'Helping People in Need' initiative will provide much needed support for local nonprofit organizations that work hard every day to feed our hungry, shelter our homeless, assist our disabled, help our veterans, aid seniors and protect families from domestic abuse," SDG&E regional vice president of external relations Frank Urtasun said. "The work they are doing in our community is phenomenal and we are honored to support their goals and mission this holiday season."
More than 120 organizations will receive grants, including The San Diego Rescue Mission, the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, Feeding America San Diego, Crisis House, Heart and Hands Working Together, Mama's Kitchen, Promises2Kids, the Salvation Army, Embrace, Amikas and Senior Community Centers of San Diego.
Vietnam Veterans of San Diego, the YMCA at Camp Pendleton, the NTC Foundation, the Veterans Association of North County and the Veterans Housing Initiative are also set to receive grant funds, SDG&E officials said.

The recipient organizations are no doubt worthy and deserving of some financial help. It is a shame that it is coming from SDG&E, however. They are not a good corporate citizen. SDG&E customers should be aware of how SDG&E sometimes benefits from recipient organizations as they try to influence public policy to the detriment of everybody's pocketbooks (including veterans) and the environment. For instance, SDG&E petitioned the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to have ratepayers cover over $300 million for SDG&E's wildfire mess--the one that killed people, burned people, and caused terrible financial pain to people. Hundreds of people attended a PUC meeting about this in San Diego, with only about 1% supporting SDG&E. Who were many of the 1%? Recipients of SDG&E's charitable giving, including elected officials. The UT reported on this: http://web.utsandiego.com/news/2012/Dec/13/after-2007-wildfires-corporate-philanthropy-tests-/2/?#article-copy.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
At the same time, SDG&E won general praise from representatives of the prevention and treatment BURN Institute, from the 211 San Diego health and disaster line, from an umbrella group for 30 volunteer fire departments and from the local American Red Cross, among many others. Those groups are among the steady beneficiaries of $5 million in annual charitable giving by SDG&E — independent of the Sempra Energy Foundation — according to disclosures filed with the California Public Utilities Commission. Frank Ault spoke in support of SDG&E's cost recovery request on behalf of the San Diego Regional Fire and Emergency Services Foundation, an umbrella fundraising group for volunteer fire departments where he serves as board chairman. The foundation received $50,000 in charitable contributions from SDG&E last year.
"We were just addressing the fact that they are a good corporate citizen that tries to mitigate the impact of fires regardless of who starts it," said Ault, a retired SDG&E accountant. Ault said the utility called him in advance of the hearing and asked that he attend. His endorsement of the SDG&E proposal was based on his understanding fire costs would still be reviewed by regulators before charging customers. Critics of the plan say it would rubber-stamp costs.

Jose Mourinho is planning a move to take Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso with him to Chelsea, according to the Telegraph.
Mourinho was confirmed as new Chelsea manager last week, and since then numerous players have been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
According to the Telegraph, Alonso, who has one year left on his contract at the Bernabeu, could make the move to west London to re-join his former manager.
The Spaniard, who made his name with Liverpool, underwent groin surgery in Munich recently but is expected to be fit for the start of the 2013/14 – when he could be wearing the blue of Chelsea.
According to the Telegraph, Alonso was highly-rated by Mourinho during his time in Spain, and the 'Special One' wants to re-model his attack around the former Liverpool player.
A move for Alonso could be just the start for Mourinho as goes about re-shaping Chelsea's squad ahead of his first season back in charge.
The Telegraph claim the Blues will try to secure the signing of Edinson Cavani from Napoli, and also try to land Stevan Jovetic from Fiorentina.
Alonso has been linked with a move back to Liverpool in the past but was quick to play down speculation about a return to Anfield when asked recently.
"Of course I'm going to be here next season," said Alonso last month.

Lancome Magnifique Eau de Parfum
Lancome Magnifique Eau de Parfum Reviews
Not the scent for me.
Magnifique is incredibly strong and heavy. It's really not a scent that I enjoy. The one positive is that it really lasts on your skin--I had trouble washing it off! — 8 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful
I moved on to something else
I find this perfume overwhelmingly strong in the beginning, then the fragrance fades away fairly quick. There are no middle notes or depth. Therefore, it is difficult for me to adjust how much I should use. When I used around my neck, it was way too much. But when I put it only behind my ears, it was not enough. I think Magnifique is too musky for a women's perfume. Not flattering. When I sampled, I thought this scent would grow on me. But it never did. — 6 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
OMG!! I'm in love again!!!!!
I only truly love very few Lancome fragrances, Magi noire, tresor and Miracle, but this new one has a burning passion in its soul, it is almost like tresor but more intense and not as powdery! And the bottle shows the burning desire within!! I can't wait to put on my little black dress and strut my stuff with my hubby in tow and introduce my new love to the world!!! — 8 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

William Purcell rarely got angry. In his long career as an engineer, he distinguished himself as a man who liked solving problems, not throwing punches.
But that day in 1941 on the football field against Notre Dame, the Carnegie Institute of Technology lineman had had enough. Having broken his nose the game before, Mr. Purcell was wearing special guard to protect his face. All through the first half, the Notre Dame team made fun of him. So in the second half, he tore it off and played through the pain.
That was characteristic grit for Mr. Purcell, a longtime Westinghouse nuclear engineer who helped draft the plan to store the nation's nuclear waste.
He died Nov. 5 at the age of 90 after a long run of bad health.
He leaves behind his wife, Lorraine, his son, William, his brother, John, and his sister, Mary Grace Conley. He was buried Nov. 10 in Jefferson Memorial Cemetery.
One of five children born to a North Side family, Mr. Purcell loved athletics, though his small frame made his brain more important than his bench press. In college, walking on to the Carnegie Tech football team was a side project, and one not many were sure would be successful -- he weighed in at 155 pounds. Nonetheless, he played two years and was named to Notre Dame's all-opponents team in 1941.
Then came World War II and his deployment to the Pacific, a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. During the invasion of Iwo Jima, his unit quickly reconstructed an airstrip on the island for returning B-52 bombers. The outfit received a commendation for quick work, and Mr. Purcell's commander praised his engineering prowess.
On leave, he met Lorraine through a friend. They sent each other a few letters, then many more, and that's all she wrote. They were soon married and had one son, also named William.
The war over, the young man went to work for Westinghouse, putting his mechanical engineering master's degree to use in nuclear power. It was a new technology at the time and full of frightening possibility, an irresistible pull for the engineer.
"He got in on the ground floor and worked there for the rest of his life," Mrs. Purcell said.
The engineer spent much of his career at Bettis Atomic Power Laboratory in West Mifflin, helping design reactors for aircraft carriers, among other things.
He also spent several years in Tennessee, leading Westinghouse's efforts to build the next-generation -- and financially doomed -- Clinch River Breeder Reactor.
But perhaps his largest challenge came after his retirement from Westinghouse, when he was appointed by the Reagan administration as an associate director in the Department of Energy and charged with helping develop a plan for the country's nuclear waste.
Mr. Purcell was part of the team that eventually settled upon Yucca Mountain in Nevada as the permanent home for the waste, envisioning a mammoth underground facility that would remained sealed for up to a million years. But political opposition slowed the project from the start, eventually leading to its cancellation in 2011.
"He enjoyed very much solving problems. But when it came to political infighting and backstabbing, he really never wanted to be a part of it," his son said. "It did frustrate him. He believed very strongly in the idea that America needed to be energy-independent. He thought that technology and nuclear power could safely be a major player in that."
Returning to Pittsburgh and settling in Mt. Lebanon, Mr. Purcell rededicated himself to his golf game and various charities, including the Salvation Army.
He also remained a steadfast supporter of his alma mater, now Carnegie Mellon University.
But these are things Mr. Purcell would never tell you himself.
Modest and reflective, he was happier away from the spotlight, reading a technical manual or reveling in the quiet of the golf green.
The fire seen at the Notre Dame game was always there, though. His wife could tell you that.
"I saw him angry once when he got the assessment bill," she said, laughing.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XBrowns coach Eric Mangini worked with Josh McDaniels as assistants with the New England Patriots from 2001-05. When McDaniels joined the Patriots in 2001, he helped Mangini coach the defensive backs.
Mangini said he felt for McDaniels, who was fired as Denver Broncos coach on Monday.
"It's never great to see that,'' Mangini said. "He's a guy I've known for a long time. I know how hard Josh works, how smart he is. You get to know a lot of head coaches in this league, Josh I just happen to know better.''
Mangini, fired from his first job with the New York Jets after the 2008 season, said he will soon get in contact with Barberton-born McDaniels, who g played quarterback and kicker at Canton McKinley.
''Going through the experience, you give the dust time to settle, then I'll definitely give him a call,'' Mangini said.
Except for issuing a public statement, McDaniels has said nothing since his regular Monday press conference.
The statement said, ''I am very grateful to Pat Bowlen and the Broncos' organization for giving me the opportunity to be the head coach of such a proud franchise. I would like to thank all of the people who helped us over the last two years. I am especially appreciative of the efforts of every player, coach and member of the personnel department who worked so hard every day. I wish Pat Bowlen and the Broncos' organization nothing but the best in the future.''

Not RUT
RUT has had a few mails about a Rubber RUT that's happening in London.
We were a bit surprised because we're not doing any RUTs right now.
So in answer to the questions and to avoid any confusion: It's nothing to do with us. And we don't know why either.
We think it's a bit cheeky. Feel free to express your opinions to the relevant parties.
In the meantime RUT is working hard on Hotwired.
See you there 13th October! And here's a photo from our recent Hotwired shoot.

If you're arriving on the 21st of June at 11 am the same day your tour leaves arn't you going to miss the bus?
I would just take the tube anyway. Find out for yourself if people are pushy or not. It would be the most direct route. If you do a search on the site there is more information about which line to take etc. - 0 people like this

Hey there,
If you are from Toronto (as your message indicates) your tour should include your Hotel Link transfer. I haev learned that this is likely a longer way of getting into the city but i figure its less work!
Hope this helps,

Been reading your ideas,
The tube is so the way to go! The Heathrow express is way to over priced and if you are going to Russel Square not in the right location anyway and you would have to get the tube from there.
I have travelled on the tube with luggage heaps no probs. Even if you don't get a seat its not that far. - 0 people like this

Well, this may sound a bit silly to experienced travellers, but I actually paid an extra $30 Cdn to have someone meet me at the airport when I arrive and take me to the RN.
If your concerned about it (as I was) maybe you should see if this option is available to you? It would be better than stressing about it… - 0 people like this

I was originally planning on just taking the tube from Heathrow to the Royal National, but a few people have told me that it's a horrible idea…people are apparently pushy and rude, and it's confusing and difficult especially while carrying your luggage.
I took the tube and it was very easy and convenient. I experienced no rudeness anywhere in London and had no problem finding the hotel or Contiki Basement.
Actually someone else on my flight was heading to the same place as me, though she upgraded to HotelLink. Just as she walked up HotelLink shuttle desk, I was in the elevator down to the Tube. I beat her to the Contiki Basement by about an hour. - 0 people like this

im an aussie living in london at the moment, and in terms of transfers from heathrow (had to do it many times for family and friends) i also stayed at the royal national when i first got here, the best idea is to get a 'funfare' bus coach from heathrow from www.nationalexpress.co.uk.. its how all the backpakers get around england, incrediably cheap, you have your bags stowed underneath for you, and you go straight to london victoria, which is a small tube ride/ cheaper taxi fare to russell sqaure, much more sense that heathrow express, which generally is a rip off, and can be a pain in the ass looking after your bags…
and the bus station you want to catch it from is heathrow bus station (not the 'terminal 1.2.3,UNLESS your flying into terminal 4, and then catch the buss that goes from there)
hope this helps!

I seriously suggest getting the tube. Yes, people are ruse and pushy in peak hours when they are trying to get to work but other than that its great – fast, easy and cheap.
The Picadilly Line (Blue) is right under Heathrow Airport and that is the line you need to get on to go to Russell Square – so you don't even have to change which is another added bonus. And trains come every 2-3 minutes.
You can get a tube map at www.tfl.gov.uk
Good luck! - 0 people like this

In other action
At its Tuesday meeting, the Moffat County Commission:
• Approved, 2-0, sponsoring the city of Craig's annual Whittle the Wood Rendezvous, scheduled for June 17 to 20 at Craig City Park.
The Commission also approved sending a letter to the Craig City Council expressing its concern about underage drinking at the event. Commissioner Tom Gray said underage drinking may become a serious problem for the event, and Commissioner Tom Mathers requested the county start a discussion with the city.
• Approved, 2-0, a bid for $7,065 from Craig-based Wheeler Manufacturing to build a stairway at the Public Safety Center. It was the low bid submitted.
The original bid was for two sets of stairs for $8,863, but the Commission recently toured the Safety Center and decided one set of stairs would be enough.
• Approved, 2-0, allowing the Moffat County Sheriff's Office and Maybell Fire Department to apply for a Colorado State Forest Service grant.
If approved, the grant would fund $1,271 for 10 new fire shelters, five for the Sheriff's Office and five for the Maybell Fire Department. The grant requires an equal match, so both local entities would have to split another $1,271 to purchase the shelters.
• Approved, 2-0, personnel requisitions for a part-time master control operator at the Public Safety Center and a full-time Moffat County Housing Authority director.
• Former Housing Director Jan Reece resigned.
• Approved, 2-0, bids for an irrigation system and sod for the new soccer fields at Loudy-Simpson Park.
The Commission accepted a $12,661 from Grand Junction Pipe for the irrigation materials, and an $85,439 bid from Fort Collins-based Green Lawn Sod Company for sod. Both bids were the lowest submitted.
Funding for the purchases is provided entirely through a Great Outdoors Colorado grant.
Moffat County Commissioner Tom Mathers said he thinks a five-figure compromise between Moffat County and the city of Steamboat Springs will help the two governments maintain a good relationship after more than a year of dispute.
The county commission ended its financial claim against Steamboat on Monday after the city agreed to pay $90,000 for county losses related to the demolition of the old county shop on East Victory Way.
Mathers said he is glad the county and Steamboat can put the episode behind them.
"They felt like they were doing the right thing, and we felt like we were doing the right thing," Mathers said, referring to settlement negotiations that began in March 2008. "It all went back to the fact that we felt like they had broken the agreement we had."
Steamboat purchased the land underneath the old shop in 2005 for $220,000 to build a Steamboat Transit bus terminal on the east side of Craig.
The original agreement signed between Steamboat and the county stated the city would preserve all the structural steel inside the old shop and in return, Moffat County would give Steamboat free access to its landfill for any site cleanup.
Construction crews hired by Steamboat to demolish the building were unable to preserve the steel, however, which the commission contends constituted a breach of contract.
County officials also think Steamboat erroneously classified soil at the site as hazardous when it should have been legally termed as contaminated.
In the end, Moffat County requested Steamboat pay back $142,420 in landfill fees, $30,421 for building materials and $111,999 for soil.
Moffat County Attorney Kathleen Taylor said during the commission's Monday meeting that Steamboat first offered $22,000 and then $48,000, but the county rebuffed both proposals.
Accepting the last offer of $90,000 saves the county from paying for arbitration or litigation, Mathers said. It also shows that county and Steamboat officials can work together, which was part of what drew the county to the bus terminal project in the first place.
"This was all over a joint bus garage, and that's an asset to our community," Mathers said.

In the larger context of offshore energy equipment companies, Cameron's (NYSE:CAM) weak second quarter wasn't unique. Even so, this was the second straight weak quarter at Cameron, and with these stocks trading off of orders (which came up about 20% light) that's a problem. While I continue to believe that Cameron is gearing up for a period of significant revenue, margin, and order growth, I won't pretend that execution risks are now front and center with this story. So though the shares continue to look undervalued, the above-average likely volatility doesn't make them suitable for all investors.
A Disappointing Quarter, But Not A Disaster
Cameron reported annual and sequential revenue growth of 11% and 8%, respectively, for the second quarter and that was only slightly below expectation. Both the drilling/production and valves/measurement units saw sequential growth (13% and 3%, respectively), while the process/completion business was down both year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter (-7% and -4%).
Although revenue was higher, margins were so-so. Some of this can be tied to the OneSubsea JV with Schlumberger (NYSE: SLB), but the results are what they are. Gross margin declined 40bp on both an annual and sequential basis, while operating income rose 5% and 11% for the quarter. EBITDA (the preferred metric for operating performance) rose 6% and 9%, missing expectations by about 4% and leading to a four-cent operating miss. The process/completion business was notably weak, though this business has long been the margin laggard for Cameron.
SEE: A Look At Corporate Profit Margins
Is It All About Timing?
The big negative takeaway for the quarter was the shortfall in orders. Orders declined 9% from last year and more than one-third from the prior quarter, missing expectations by around 20%-25%. Every segment saw a sequential decline in margins, as the company couldn't repeat the large orders that it booked in the first quarter.
Cameron blamed the order book performance on delays in large orders, and that's consistent with what others including FMC Technologies (NYSE:FTI), Dresser-Rand (NYSE:DRC), and Forum Energy Technologies (NYSE: FET) have been saying as well. What's more, management continues to believe that orders will come in before the year is up. To that end, Cameron booked two sizable orders in July – a $540 million contract for OneSubsea from Chevron (NYSE:CVX) for work in the North Sea and a $550 million CAMSHALE deal with BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP). It's also worth noting, I think, that Cameron's surface orders were up about 40% in the first half of the year despite a weak North American rig environment.
Execution Now Up For Grabs
So, there's a lot left for the company to do this year. Total (NYSE: TOT) and Eni (NYSE:E) are both expected to make orders this year (for Moho-Bilondo and Block 15/06, respectively, and it is my understanding that these projects require subsea boosting technology. With FMC and OneSubsea the only ones who can really do that job right, I'm very interested to see how these awards go. FMC has been gaining a lot of share and Cameron needs to reprove that it can hold its own, particularly with the Schlumberger JV theoretically making them a more attractive player.
I think it's also worth noting that Cameron could still deliver a good 2013 on balance. Given the company's revenue recognition policies, the fourth quarter should be a big one for Cameron, and that may be where a lot gets decided about this stock – if Cameron comes through, this period will just look like another lull before a move higher, but if Cameron disappoints it will be hard to argue for a high multiple going into 2014.
The Bottom Line
With revenue potential of $250 million per rig and multiple subsea projects on the way, I continue to believe that Cameron is looking at a lot of offshore business in the coming years, not to mention a recovery in the North American surface market. This quarter's disappointment has upped the risk and uncertainty again, but I believe the business is out there for Cameron to do well – now management has to re-prove to the Street that it can go out there and get it (and do it for attractive margins).
SEE: 5 Earnings Season Investing Tips
Although a lot of analysts have already moved on to 2014 estimates for Cameron, I'm still valuing the stock on the basis of 12-month forward EBITDA. Using a 9.5x multiple (slightly above the historical average), that works out to a fair value of $69 today. Should the company deliver the orders and margins that the bulls still believe in, a double-digit target on 2014 EBITDA estimates could ultimately take these shares into the $75-$85 range.

Unique Yamaha technology retains the all-important touch of the grand piano
Yamaha Silent Piano™ features a range of unique technologies that allow them to offer a touch that is astonishingly close to that of an acoustic grand piano even when in "Silent" mode.

Unique Yamaha technology retains the all-important touch of the grand piano
Yamaha Silent Piano™ features a range of unique technologies that allow them to offer a touch that is astonishingly close to that of an acoustic grand piano even when in "Silent" mode.
- Key sensors
Under each of the 88 keys is a Yamaha-unique continuous-detection grey-scale shutter key sensor. These sensors detect the movement of the keys continually, allowing natural musical expression even when the piano is in "Silent" mode. Since they do not come into contact with the keys, these sensors do not affect the feel of the keyboard in any way.
- Hammer sensors
Yamaha's Silent Piano™ is fitted with hammer sensors that allow even slow keystrokes or rapid trills that would be difficult for key sensors to detect to be read accurately. To ensure that they do not affect the feel of the keyboard in any way, Yamaha uses non-contact sensors.
- Quick escape system
Silent Piano™ features a quick escape system that allows the sound muting mechanism to be fitted to a grand piano without sacrificing any of the playability or musical expression demanded of such instruments in an acoustic performance. This system allows optimal separation to be obtained between the hammers and strings by adjusting the distance between the hammers and strings, ensuring that the feel of the keyboard stays in the best possible condition whether playing acoustically or with the sound muted.
Realistic tonal color for faithful reproduction
- CFX Binaural Sampling
- For the first time ever the Silent Piano™ offers sound sampled from the Yamaha CFX full concert grand piano, supporting the beauty of its clear, vivid tones with the power of this renowned instrument.
- Yamaha's first model with binaural sampling system, enabling reproduction of natural and three-dimensional sound.
[ Binaural sampling system ]
A recording system in which microphones are installed in the ears of a dummy (see diagram) so that the sound can be reproduced the way it is heard by the player.
- When playing in "Silent" mode, the player feels as though the CFX sounds are coming directly from the piano.
- Maximum simultaneous polyphony of 256 notes
The maximum simultaneous polyphony on the SH type is 256 notes. With the increase in maximum simultaneous polyphony CFX sampling and piano effects can be utilized more effectively for enhanced precision in sound reproduction.
- Large capacity (256MB) of wave memory
This increase in memory capacity enables the SH type to reproduce even the subtle difference in nuances brought by key touch and thus significantly increases the expressivity of performance.
- Four types of piano effects for reproducing sounds that are characteristic of acoustic performance
- String resonance: Reproduces the expressive tonal colors that are created as strings hit by hammers resonate with other strings.
- Key-off sampling: Reproduces the subtle changes of sound that occur when the damper touches the strings.
- Sustain sampling: Records the rich sounds that are generated as the player depresses a pedal during performance.
- Damper resonance: Reproduces the deep and expansive resonance that is generated when the player depresses a pedal. Subtle changes in nuance that occur during the performance can be reproduced faithfully.
Exclusive functions and superb operability of the SH type
- Metronome
The SH type has a built-in metronome that can be used in "Silent" mode so that players can listen to precise rhythm through headphones while they play.
- 19 tonal colors
19 voices, including harpsichord, pipe organ, strings, celesta and jazz organ provide a wide range of musical expression.
- Two recording systems (Built-in recorder and USB audio recorder)
- The performance can be recorded in two different ways. It can be recorded either directly to the built-in recorder of a piano, or to a USB audio recorder, in which case the data stored in USB flash memory in WAV format can be played on a PC as well.
- Using a built-in recorder is more convenient if the players wish to listen to the recorded piece immediately. It allows them to listen to the entire performance of a music piece or to go back and listen to a particular section of the piece.
- Since performances are saved in WAV format with a USB audio recorder, they can be recorded onto CDs or played on portable music players.
- Simple and easy switching to "Silent" mode with the press of a button
While the conventional grand Silent Piano™ requires lever operation for switching to "Silent" mode, SH type Silent Piano™ does it all via motor activation with a single press of a button.
- User-friendly control panel
Blue-lit control buttons on the front panel are easy to identify and provide superb operability. Moreover custom-made white pianos come with white control units.
Open headphones and a variety of connection terminals
- Open structured headphones that can produce clear, high-quality sound
- The headphones that come exclusively with SH type pianos are designed in a way that minimizes the strain on users after long hours of playing.
- These newly employed headphones contribute to the improvement of sound quality as well as to the reduction of fatigue during performance.
- Equipped with AUX and MIDI terminals
- AUX and MIDI terminals allow the sound to be output to a variety of external devices (e.g. stereo components, IC recorders, speakers with built-in amplifiers, stereo systems).
- Connecting SH type pianos to external devices such as sound source modules and music players (CD players etc.) via AUX IN terminals allows players to listen to the sound from these external devices on the headphones while they play the piano.
- Connecting MIDI devices such as synthesizers to SH type pianos via MIDI OUTPUT terminals allows players to transmit performance information to external devices for playback.
- Connecting music sequencers to SH type pianos via MIDI IN terminals allows the players to receive and play back the performance information provided by the sequencers using the sound source of SH type pianos.
- Newly fitted with speaker output function
- Speaker output terminals have been newly added to the GM unit installed at the bottom of the tenor section of SH type pianos. By connecting speakers equipped with built-in amplifiers to these output terminals, the performance conducted in "Silent" mode can be output through the speakers.
- Speaker output terminals also support TRS phone jacks, which are highly noise-resistant and thus suitable for use in music performances, such as those on stages, that require long cables.

Fleeing for their faith
Pastor Makset waited until they were cleared to leave Kazakhstan. Quietly, he prayed. Then, he stepped up to the desk. Officials asked for his passport. "I don't have one," he told them. "I just got out of jail." Startled, they asked him to wait and called their supervisors. "I watched my family walk out of sight to board the plane," says Makset. He swallowed hard, wondering what would happen. "How did you come into Kazakhstan?" the immigration officials asked. "I came in illegally," he replied. Then they called over someone else, started searching on the computers and talked among themselves.

Progress Report
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP 2001-04-18 ASX-SIGNAL-G HOMEX - Melbourne +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ANZ today confirmed that the Supreme Court of India had adjourned Grindlays appeal concerning the dispute with the National Housing Bank (NHB) until July/August 2001 as a result of the Court's Summer Recess. Introductory remarks on the case, originally scheduled for 10 April 2001, were heard by the Supreme Court of India in Delhi yesterday. The commencement of the case follows offers by ANZ of a commercial settlement based on a 50-50 compromise over the disputed amount of INR15.3 billion (A$596 million*). During settlement discussions with NHB, no meaningful response was received from NHB. ANZ continues to believe that a fair commercial settlement is in the interests of both parties. ANZ is fully prepared for the appeal to the Supreme Court and remains confident of its case.

During my 8 years of Linux on and off usage I have tried more distros than I have chocolate bars. Each one of my previous encounters meant that I had to spend at least 2 days configuring before I have a desktop that I was somewhat comfortable with. With Ubuntu Feisty Fawn's latest test beta --for the first time ever-- this was not the case. I was up and running with all the niceties I wanted within 2 hours.

A miscommunication has occurred.
"Skills in photoshop are needed if you want to get a job in professional graphics" is an unambiguous statement. Here I would agree with you.
Your original statement was: "From a graphics professional standpoint I would say that Photoshop skills are needed simply from a resume standpoint if nothing else." This is ambiguous, and can easily be read as saying "Photoshop skills are necessary only for the look they give a resume". That is obviously how I read it.

CodeTwo Active Directory Photos
Add photos to Active Directory and manage them in an easy way
CodeTwo Active Directory Photos will let you upload photographs to Active Directory and manage them easily using a light and super-intuitive user interface. This freeware application has been designed to make managing scores of users' images straightforward and ultra-fast. Setting up thousands of Active Directory users' photographs is just a matter of cooking soft boiled eggs, which really makes this program stand out in the crowd.
Key features
- Automatic photo size adjustment to 100kb (or less) to comply with Active Directory requirements
- Lets you display Active Directory photos in Outlook 2016, 2013 and 2010 emails, contacts and GALs
- Compatible with CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. See how to add images from Active Directory to automatic email signatures in Exchange
Instead of using Import-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet command to upload users' images to the Active Directory's thumbnailPhoto attribute, you can do it with a few clicks with CodeTwo Active Directory Photos without having any expertise in Exchange management. What is more, thanks to the program you can finally make bulk photo uploads and changes.
Why would I need it to add photos to Active Directory?
You may need to add photographs to Active Directory to show them in internal Outlook messages, display in Outlook's contacts and Global Address List (GAL), or to add them to internal or outbound email. Letting people see each other's faces while corresponding adds more human touch to the communication. Sometimes it seems to be the only way for some people to know who is who in their own company. What is more, adding users' images to external messages makes your mail look more professional and also lets your customers see who they are corresponding with.
Displaying photos in Outlook messages and contacts
If you want to show pictures in internal emails and Outlook contacts, just rely on what CodeTwo Active Directory Photos gives you. By uploading photos to Active Directory and assigning them to users, they will be automatically displayed in Outlook's internal emails.
Pictures uploaded to Active Directory will also be displayed in Outlook contact cards and in GAL contacts as well.
Active Directory photos in Lync client
Once photographs are uploaded to Active Directory with CodeTwo Active Directory Photos, users will be able to see those pictures in Lync 2010 and 2013 clients. Owing to this, employees will finally get to see the face of every workmate in the chat window, as well as after pointing the cursor over a given name in Lync's Contact List.
Note! In order to be able to view users' Active Directory photos in Lync, end-users have to choose to use the "Default corporate picture" in Lync Client's photo options.
Adding photos to email signatures on Exchange
If you want to go further than this and also let external users (e.g. your customers) see your employees' photographs in emails, you can use Active Directory placeholders to add dynamic pictures to email signatures on Exchange. Owing to this, you can create just one, uniform, centralized email signature template for the entire company, and the pictures will be added automatically to the signatures on the fly. To create company-wide email signatures with Active Directory photos, you can use CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. Just download the free trial version and find out how simple it can be and what beautiful email signatures you can create with it.
Follow the links below to learn more about CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro
- Creating server-sided signatures and disclaimers using CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro
- More about CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro
How to use CodeTwo Active Directory Photos?
The program is very easy to use and the user interface is light so you should get a hang of it in minutes. Should you need any assistance, take a look at the User's Manual, FAQ.

The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
Lutheran Church Extension Fund is proud to be a corporate sponsor of "The First Rosa"
A complimentary DVD copy of "The First Rosa" has been sent to each LCMS congregation. Check out the film's accompanying resources.
Bible studies
Sunday school lessons
Student-teacher devotions
The film documentary about the life of Rosa J. Young is being shown at numerous locations in early 2016. Download the schedule to find a location near you, and a promo kit is available to help prepare for a film showing.

Promo kit
Thanks to your generous support, and the support of others like you who are excited to tell Rosa's story, this special film is ready.
The time has come to tell the untold story of Lutheran educator and church planter Rosa J. Young. There was another Rosa, but Rosa Young was first. Rosa Parks started a civil rights revolution; Rosa Young started a spiritual revolution.
The Rev. Dr. Roosevelt Gray Jr., director of LCMS Black Ministry, led the late 2014 production of an LCMS film chronicling the unprecedented mission work of Rosa Young and Lutheran missionary Rev. Nils Bakke in Alabama during the early 1900s.
The film, titled "The First Rosa," is ready to share with every LCMS congregation, school and organization beginning in early 2016. Hers is a story that will inform the church and other public audiences of Rosa Young's remarkable impact on people as she proclaimed the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Your prayers, gifts and enthusiastic endorsement continue to make a difference. To host a showing of "The First Rosa," view and download the many resources available on this page (see "The First Rosa" Promo Kit to the right).
Thank you. You made it possible to tell Rosa's story to this and future generations. May God richly bless this film and its impact on others for the sake of the Gospel.
Rosa J. Young was awarded an honorary doctorate by Concordia Theological Seminary during their commencement service in May 1961. She was both the first woman and the first African-American to be honored in this way by the Lutheran Church.
Young led a life of service, accomplished so much to the Glory of God, and enabled others to do the same, including the following:
• She taught more than 2,000 students, impacting their lives forever with her faith and her belief in the importance of education, at a time when education for children of sharecroppers was limited.
• Many of her students entered the Holy Ministry or became parochial school teachers at her urging, impacting many others with their fidelity to her vision.
• She wrote her autobiography, Light in the Dark Belt, bringing her life story to the reader.
• She was influential in the founding of the Alabama Lutheran Academy and College in Selma, Ala., aimed at training students to become teachers and preparing young men to continue their education at seminary.
• That educational institution, now known as Concordia College Alabama, continues to provide affordable college education to young men and women.
• Many of her students moved north during the Great Migration and founded churches, which extended her ministry throughout the country.
The Encyclopedia of Alabama provides an overview of Rosa J. Young's history and ministry.

Couldn't agree more. The justice system is very fond of claiming that harsh punishments deter crime. We should make them put their money where their mouth is and punish cops who break the law by having mandatory additional jail time on top of the normal sentence for whatever crime they committed. You could implement it as an 'abuse of authority' law. You break the law while acting in the capacity of your job as a police officer (I am aware there are some jurisdictions where cops are 'on duty' 24/7 in which case this would apply 24/7) and it's an extra 2 years + half the sentence length for the crime committed.
I think similar should be done for prosecutors. If you say something in your role as prosecutor about a defendant that turns out not to be true, even stating that the defendant is guilty if they are acquitted, you should have to serve time. How many people's lives have been ruined because of public perception brought on by a mouthy prosecutor? There should be punishments for doing that.
I have to call BS on that. Yes, there is a bigger increase with A, but the only time this matters at all is if I have 2 vehicles in need of replacement at the same time, money for only one of them, and no pressing preference for utility between them; and then you would have to figure out which you drive more often to get a reasonable determination of which to get.
In reality, it works like this: you have a 20 mpg car in need of replacement. You can replace it with a 25 mpg car, or a 32 mpg car. Quick, which saves more gas?:
A) Replace the 20 mpg with 25 mpg
B) Replace the 20 mpg with 32 mpg.
For direct comparison of savings coming from two completely different situations, yes, gal/100 miles is better. But the combination of events and requirements needed for such a comparison to be at all useful is completely absurd. For nearly all situations the "which number is bigger" method of determining mileage superiority is perfectly adequate.
Men take only their needs into consideration -- never their abilities. -- Napoleon Bonaparte

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! Well everyone it appears that we have survived E3 2014! That said there's something we all need to talk about in regards to E3 and this community. Rorie and the entire Giant Bomb moderation team were truly disturbed by the behavior of many users on the live chat during the Giant Bomb Live! streams. Not only did many of you take the time to insult members of the staff, but many more made it their prerogative to insult our the guest panelists on the chat. If you were not already aware let it be known that the Forum Rules apply to your behavior on the live chat at all times. Flagrant violations on the chat will result in your accounts being warned, or even disabled on the main site. If you disagree with comments expressed by any of our guests during a live stream all of your criticism must be expressed in a civil manner. Rorie would like to remind all of you that Giant Bomb is an English language website. If you comment on the chat in a language that we do not understand we will assume that your comment is in violation of the Forum Rules, and you will suspended from using the chat for the remainder of the day. This may sound harsh in light of the hilarious and great moments that the staff provided all of us during E3. However, every single one of you should know that your behavior is a reflection of this community and this website. Do not do us a disservice on the chat, or anywhere for that matter. Please, abide by our Golden Rule and don't be a jerk. Let's try to lock up all of this inappropriate behavior and throw away the key.

So Oxyrain on YouTube has created all of the Giant Bomb staff in Tomodachi Life and is planning on making a musical using them The following clip is the first act of his musical. Speaking of Tomodachi Life here's a batch of QR codes from @stiftnuersel that allow you to upload a Giant Bomb staff "Rap Group" to your game. Is Rap not your thing? Well don't worry because @sharkosaur has created the Giant Bomb staff (including Ryan) as Boy Band members.

So check that out as it is all about games from Legend Entertainment. Video_Game_King tackled Soul Reaver (again) and (not) a Japanese porn game. CottoneUD is still plugging away in Persona 4 Golden, and Sweep shares his opinions on the demographics in video games.

We have nothing but hard hitting questions this week. Like is Dave Lang a meme machine or an actual person? Then there''s this thing called the World Cup that is happening right now. If you want your discussion threads on a video game website to be about actual video games...well we still have you covered. The Steam Summer Sale is drawing nigh, and all sorts of games worth talking about from the Destiny alpha to Tomodachi Life.

Lovable Lists
In effort to challenge the notion that all of the "big" games are coming out in 2015 benspyda has created a "purchasing guide" of the notable games worth purchasing that are coming out this year. FakeKisser on the other hand has a list of games that he plans to strike off from his "gaming backlog" during the Summer.
