- "You are an interesting individual, as I thought you might be."
- ―Copy X, Mega Man Zero
Copy X (コピーエックス Kopī Ekkusu?) is the main antagonist of Mega Man Zero and most of Mega Man Zero 3. A Reploid created by Ciel based on the original Mega Man X's DNA, Copy X governed Neo Arcadia after the original X sacrificed his body to seal the Dark Elf.[1]
Copy X, as his name would suggest, is in his own words a perfect copy of Mega Man X, although there are some differences. The most noticeable of these are his red eyes, which help to establish his role as the primary antagonist, and his distinct differences in ideology from the original X. In battle, he dons his Ultimate Armor, which changes his base color scheme from predominately blue to white and gold, with the exception of his helmet, allows him to change elemental affinities (with matching color motifs), and which allows him to use a guided Nova Strike. The armor also becomes adorned with an angel wing motif, with two wing-like extensions protruding from the upper back, an additional five from the helmet, and a final two from the sides of the X-Buster. The imagery here likens him to the Seraphim of Judaism, who were said to be the highest ranking angels, and this was signified by their six wings.
This casts Copy X, who believes himself to be a savior and a hero, in an arrogant, self-praising light. This contrasts sharply with X himself (now a Cyber-elf), who also appears angelic, but in a much more modest manner, simply wearing a cassock over his armor with a blue and light grey halo that rains all colours of the palette appearing above his head, with no visible wings. Cyber-elf X also has a different helmet design to Copy X, with Copy X's helmet staying much closer to its original design in all forms.
In his Seraph form, Copy X completely reforms himself into a much larger being. His lower body disappears and his arms detach from his body, becoming large and clawed, and six large wings appear on his back, creating a striking resemblance to a Seraph. This divine, angelic appearance is sharply contrasted by the demonic red glare in his eyes. He traps his enemy with halo-like rays and tries to purge them with searing flame set off by lasers from his eyes, further emphasizing the resemblance.
As he lays claim to being a perfect copy, one would expect that his personality would be identical to X's own; however, there are many major differences. One major difference to note is the degree to which he idealizes perfection: instead of identifying himself as a copy of X, he is persistent in making the distinction that he is a perfect copy, and to that effect feels that he is incapable of making mistakes. The standard by which he views himself creates a warped sense of justice in which any decision he makes is right by virtue of being a perfect copy. Zero makes note of this difference after defeating Copy X the first time by calling him naive, suggesting that he lacked the experiences and memories of the original X to properly understand justice and rule Neo Arcadia as X did. However, Copy X disregards this, and doesn't hesitate to stand up for himself and his perfection, as shown when he was attempting to switch into Seraph Form by exclaiming,"Everyone treats me like a fool. Let me show you my true power." Unlike X, he is also violent, like Fefnir, when enraged.
This greatly contrasts with the original X, who had a strong aversion to violence and fought only as a last resort. It should be taken into consideration that Copy X had never met the original X before midway through the events of Mega Man Zero 3, and Copy X gets surprised by his presence when he was defeated by Zero a second time, exclaiming, "You are my original form?!" Because of these traits it can be concluded that Copy X is an imperfect Reploid copy of X, absolutely nothing like the original in every aspect except for basic physical design.
In the radio drama track "Ciel's Memory ~ Truth of Hero", his status as only a copy of X is made more explicit, where he is depicted as having a flanging computer voice when speaking instead of speaking like X.
During the events of the Mega Man X series, Mega Man X put an end to the Maverick and Elf Wars (two worldwide conflicts). However, the Neo Arcadian Central Council was thrown into chaos since X eventually had to physically use his body to seal the Dark Elf away and his Cyber-elf form was nowhere to be found. As an emergency remedy prior to the events of Mega Man Zero, a brilliant scientist named Ciel designed and built Copy X, a supposedly perfect copy of the original.
The only problem facing them was this new copy, not having any of the battle experience or memories of the original (or the 30-year testing that Dr. Light put him through to ensure a correct perception of justice), was thus fairly naive in his thought processes. With Neo Arcadia facing an energy crisis while the Reploids increased in number, Copy X decided that Reploids were at the heart of the problem. So began Neo Arcadia's "iron-fisted" policy of justice in which Reploids were mercilessly executed and branded as Mavericks without cause or provocation in the events of the first Mega Man Zero game.
During his rule, he regularly held trials with the Eight Gentle Judges, prior to their upgrade by Dr. Weil. This occurs within the track "Decision Eight Gentle Judges" on the "Remastered Tracks Rockman Zero Telos" CD (available for purchase in Japan only). The track suggests that the judges noticed the change in X's personality and that Copy X (as well as his original) presided over many trials. It is possible that Elpizo was also tried by Copy X before his leave of Neo Arcadia. The disposal of innocent Reploids led to the creation of a Resistance.
Mega Man Zero
Copy X's Four Guardians led attacks on the bands that fled Neo Arcadia, often wiping out mass amounts in single strikes. When the Resistance discovered the legendary hero, Zero, it became a problem for Copy X and his armies as Zero began decimating his forces without much effort.
Highly impressed with Zero's skill, Copy X confronted Zero when he battled his way into the armored core of the city, Area X. Copy X maintained that he was the perfect copy, telling Zero that he was superior to both he (Zero) and the original X, and that he achieved true peace. After bantering for some time, Copy X challenged Zero to battle, a battle which Copy X ultimately lost. Zero tells him that despite his memory loss, he was sure the original X was much stronger than him. Furious at Zero's mocking tone, he assumed a gigantic Seraph battle form, but he was brought down, once again. Copy X then set his base to self-destruct in one final attempt to kill Zero, but Zero escapes the blast and fall into the desert.
Mega Man Zero 3
Copy X, though defeated, was still an ominous presence in the mind of the Resistance, for Elpizo wished to lead his strikes on the army before X was revived in Mega Man Zero 2. Once the Dark Elf had been unleashed, Dr. Weil, using his advanced powers of DNA Resurrection, brought back Copy X along with three of his army commanders. Copy X MK-II (to whom the characters referred only as Copy X) this time assumed control of Neo Arcadia once more, with Dr. Weil as his chief adviser, though it seemed he was obeying Weil's every suggestion or command. In this incarnation, he also had a profound stutter, expressed in such a way as to imply his speech was glitched, exposing his further imperfection following his revival.
Also, Copy X shows signs of having gone Maverick by ordering a missile raid on Area Z-3079, as that location was a human residential area.
Once Neo Arcadia began launching constant attacks on the Resistance Base, Zero destroyed the previously-mentioned three commanders before assaulting X's base of operations, Area X2. Here Copy X attempted to convince Zero that what he was doing was wrong, and that Neo Arcadia was right. Once more, it resulted in a battle between the two, which Copy X again lost. This time, the original X appeared and spoke to both Zero and Copy X - but Copy X wouldn't listen, instead growing angrier with each passing moment. The real X stated that Dr. Weil was using Copy X as a tool. In light of this, Copy X attempted to morph into his powerful battle form once again, but a sabotage device planted on him by Dr. Weil to prevent any rebellion caused Copy X to self-destruct instead. Copy X used phraseology that could both mean that he was attempting revenge on Dr. Weil or that he was showing X and Zero what he really was made of; he did, however, make a clear fact by showing his frustration at being taken for a fool by everyone. With the destruction of Copy X on April 23,[2] Dr. Weil was able to assume role as the leader of Neo Arcadia, blaming the death of Copy X on Zero and the Resistance.
Other media
Rockman Zero manga
Copy X appears shortly with his Ultimate Armor in the manga, where he is an unnamed fusion of the Four Guardians created by Cial, who refers to him as the "Perfect Reploid". He overwhelms the battle-weary Zero using his Nova Strike and deals a serious blow, reverting the Reploid into his meek self. Believing he had already won, he prepares to kill Zero, but Lito tries to protect him. Irritated, he throws Lito away and attempts to eliminate him, but Zero gathers up the courage and strength to fight back without his helmet, impaling the Perfect Reploid from behind using his Z-Saber. Without the Four Guardians, the Resistance was able to defeat the Neo Arcadian armies. Copy X was noticeably much more psychotic than his original depiction as seen through his facial tick and much less vocal as well.
Mega Man (Archie Comics)
In Issue 55 of the comic series, Copy X appears with the Guardians against Zero as part of an extensive vision of the near and distant future of Earth witnessed by Dr. Light.
Forms and Abilities
Copy X, as a copy of the original X, seemingly possess all of the original's abilities. He also has at least two enhanced upgrades\forms which can make him even stronger. However, despite being a perfect copy of X, it is implied that his abilities are far weaker than X's.[3]
Standard form
As noted above, Copy X's main form is a near-duplicate of X, with the only discernible difference being he had red eyes instead of blue/green eyes. He is never actually seen fighting in this form, although the radio drama Ciel's Memory ~ Truth of Hero shows he at least has access to his X-Buster in this form.
First Form
Copy X uses an armor that is capable of bestowing different elemental affinities, with each element a powerful different attack, and the infamous Nova Strike X used with the Ultimate Armor. Copy X equips himself with this armor before first clashing with Zero in the first Mega Man Zero title. Whether Ciel equipped him of this armor, or he had it installed upon himself, is not exactly made sure of; if she wished to make a perfect copy of X, it would mean the original X also had the armor equipped on him, which means that Ciel wanted to create a new X that still could fight.
Copy X's transformation into this state varied. In the original form, he just was enveloped in a golden light before emerging in this form. Copy X Mk. II's transformation into this form had him being enveloped in a purple and light blue orb before eventually being bathed in golden light and emerging in this form. Presumably, the latter had been the result of Dr. Weil's modifications.
- Mode Change: Similar to X's Variable Weapon System, Copy X's color and default/charge shots varies according to this mode. He can charge his shots to make them more powerful and render himself briefly invulnerable. He is immune to damage while changing his mode.
- Normal Shot: Either jump up and shoot 3 shots downwards, or just shoot them while standing on the ground.
- Charged: Fires a large plasma shot that causes more damage on contact, no plasma balls will be created however.
- Ice Shot: Fires an icy shot that shatters upon contact and reflects five shards back, similar to the Shotgun Ice.
- Charged: Releases a swirling stream of icy energy forward.
- Elec Shot: Releases an electric orb similar to the Electric Spark, with the addition of minimal tracking ability.
- Charged: Sends twin waves of electricity that slowly travel along the floor of the room.
- Fire Shot: Launches a stream of flame similar to the Fire Wave, that arc slightly as it is fired across the room.
- Charged: Points his buster upwards and erupts a big flame shot that spreads fire down in a volcanic manner.
- Normal Shot: Either jump up and shoot 3 shots downwards, or just shoot them while standing on the ground.
- Sliding: X attacks with a sliding kick.
- Nova Strike: The infamous signature attack of this armor, however it can be executed on both the ground and in mid-air, with reduced damage for both. It has a homing-like feature in Mega Man Zero 3.
- Raging EX Charge: Copy X is enveloped in a large aura that recovers one full health gauge (possibly representing the use of a Sub Tank) and temporarily immunity to all attacks, if the player's rank is A or S. The player can stop this from happening if Zero can score a hit just before the aura takes effect, and Copy X is not flashing from taking damage.
- Reflected Laser: Only used in Mega Man Zero 3 if the player is in A or S rank. Copy X will shot a laser which act like the Gemini Laser from Mega Man 3.
Second Form
A seraph-like transformation of Copy X. Bearing no legs, but with an ability to levitate, this destructive form allows Copy X to easily destroy his enemies. Strategically thinking, Copy X limits Zero's movements by destroying enough floor to trap him in the encounter and limiting his ability to dodge. Unfortunately, Copy X has two floating platforms at his sides, which Zero can use to jump on/against. Surprisingly, touching the spikes on the pillars will not instantly kill Zero, only harm him. But even so, Zero will most likely fall into the pit when touching the spikes. If the player had achieved Rank A or S when fighting this form of Copy X, Copy X would sometimes attack using his floating pillars, bringing them crashing down onto the floor area in set patterns.
Only the original Copy X was capable of reaching this stage in the first game. Copy X Mk.II was set with a bomb that would explode if this form were to be activated or if any sign of rebellion were to occur.
- Tentei Laser: Copy X says "Light!" (光よ! Hikari yo!?) and fires multiple small beams in random direction. These can be avoided by going from one end of the platform to the other while dashing, which will make the beams miss completely, while shouting, "No use!" Like his Bind Rings, it has an odd lock-on, which the Vulcan will shoot at Zero's current location on the platforms.
- Bind Ring: Copy X says "Repent!" (悔い改めよ! Kuiaratame yo!?) and fires off several ring-shaped halos down that trap the enemy inside, but it doesn't cause damage though. The rings have an odd lock-on to Zero's current location on the platforms. Can be avoided by slowly moving either left or right of the platform.
- Mekido Flame: Races a tracking beam all over the surface and torches the floor from it for a while. X shouts, "I'm Judgement!" (裁きだ Sabaki da!?)
- EX Skill: Giga Punisher: Constantly slams both spiked platform down simultaneously in a pattern. He emits an eerie cackle, indicating that Copy X will use the EX Skill.
Copy X Mk. II
Rebuilt, and thus resurrected, by Dr. Weil, this recreation of Copy X takes back the position of leader of Neo Arcadia. Due to a vocal bug, Mark II has a stutter (in the Japanese version, he emphasizes strange syllables), but is equipped with the same combat capacities of his first form. Other than the stutter, the only difference is that he has blue eyes in his standard form, rather than red eyes; however, they change back to red when donning his armor for the battle. His transformation protocol was also different, being encased in a violet orb that barely obscures him before transforming into his battle form. Although not actually seen in-game, his Mega Buster's beam also is depicted in the artwork as being slightly different, showing fire, ice, and lightning cyber-particles when it originally just utilized rainbow data particles. He also has a new move the Reflect Laser. When he attempts to access his Second Form, a bomb planted within him triggers, blowing him into pieces. It is later discovered that Weil planted it on him, and intended for Copy X to die while battling Zero so he could rule Neo Arcadia while at the same time blame Zero for Copy X's death.
- Reflect Laser: The screen darkens a little bit, and he fires a powerful shot that bounces off walls, only uses when confronted with an A or S ranker.
Musical themes
The theme associated with him is "X, the Legend", a powerful, repetitive, mechanical theme indicating X's power. This theme was also shared with the real X.
During the battle with his second form, the theme "Fake" plays, which shares the almost otherworldly theme of "X, the Legend", only it then enters intense beats.
Mugshots & Sprites
- Copy X, in his reappearance in Mega Man Zero 3, follows the long tradition in the Mega Man franchise of a "fake villain", as he was manipulated by Dr. Weil, similar to how Dr. Wily and Sigma manipulated other villains in their respective eras.
- This is also similar to how the Yellow Devil from the classic series and Vile from the X series first appeared in the first game then reapeared in the 3rd game of their respective series.
- The original X was originally slated to appear as the antagonist of the Zero series, instead of Copy X (in fact, Copy X wasn't even going to exist), but due to the release of Mega Man X6, this idea was omitted in the list of original concepts meant to connect Mega Man X5 with the first Zero game.
- Even though Copy X is the fifth Mega Man incarnation, he is only quasi-playable in his Mega Man Zero 3 mini-game.
- Copy X is one of two (three if you count Juno) Mega Man incarnations to not appear in all installments of "his" series (the other one is Mega Man Volnutt, who isn't involved in one instalment of his series).
- In this regard, Copy X is also the only one in which the series doesn't revolve around him (besides being one of the main antagonists), instead revolving around Zero.
- Oddly enough, Copy X features a slide attack, a technique that was shared with the original Mega Man, although it was only used as a dash technique.
- In actual gameplay, both of Copy X's forms has the least health of the final bosses in the Mega Man Zero series, with both of his forms having only two life-bars, in a contrast to the later final bosses, and some bosses earlier in the first game (which includes the Four Guardians), which had three life bars. Because he has two forms however, he still has the most health of the bosses in the first Mega Man Zero game.
- If the player loses to Copy X not in Seraph form, he will continuously jump around the room executing his attacks in a taunt-like manner while yelling his you-are-defeated sentence.
- Copy X's personality might be a result of not having to go through Dr. Light's extensive 30-year-long testing. In other words, he might be a perfect copy of X physically, but never mentally conditioned to be at all like him, lending the possibility that even the original X could have been evil if it wasn't for Light's precautions.
- Copy X's physical weakness noted by Zero during their ending battle within Mega Man Zero might be a result of Copy X's relatively young operational age and battle inexperience as compared to the original X. In the original Mega Man X, Zero describes to X, "Remember, you have not reached full power yet. If you use all the abilities you were designed with, you should become stronger...you may even become as powerful as I am." Zero defeating Copy X could be reminiscent of history when Zero was initially more powerful than the original X. When the original X was found and activated from Dr. Light's hidden capsule, he initially only had the strength to be ranked a Class B Maverick Hunter. By design, Dr. Light gave the original X the ability to infinitely grow his power over time, hence his reasoning for naming him "X".
- X's ending in Mega Man X4 may be the first foreshadowing to Copy X, or likely the original intention for X to become the villain in the Zero series. While escaping from Final Weapon, he contacts Zero and begs him to destroy him in case he ever goes Maverick.
- In Zero's Mega Man X7's ending, Zero has a nightmare where X apparently goes berserk and tries to eliminate all the Mavericks, even Zero. This was most likely foreshadowing Copy X's rise to power.
- In both of his appearances, his attacks reference special weapons from Mega Man X.
- In a sense, Copy X's destruction can be seen as an indirect success on Zero's original objective that was given to him by Dr. Wily when he was created, which was to destroy Dr. Light's creation.
- Copy X's Ultimate Armor set of moves is parallel to the system of Omega (Zero Form) himself, only with the lack of an EX Skill.
- Copy X is possibly a homage to the Copy Robot of the Classic series.
- If one closely listens to Seraph Mode Copy X's theme "Fake", it sounds like a re-imaging of Vile's theme from the first Mega Man X game.
- Amusingly, both the Original and Copy X have only one unique theme dedicated to them. It's "Cyberelf" for Cyber-elf X, and "Fake" for (needless to say) Copy X.
- The Modified Pantheon Aqua from Mega Man Zero 3 emits phrases and an eerie cackle very remarkably like Copy X's Seraph transformation. It also drops objects in a similar fashion to Copy X's helmet halo ray attack, and fires a wide area laser across the floor.
- Copy-X is the second iteration of an "Evil Mega Man" type character, which originated with MegaMan Juno from Mega Man Legends, and later carried on to Model W, which is titled "The Evil Mega Man".
- Copy X shares the same voice actress as Fairy Leviathan, Yuka Imai.
- Unlike the original X, Copy X's designation as a Reploid is correct; being a copy of X's systems and general design. The original X is often called a Reploid but is only one by association; being the original template and not an actual replication.
- Copy X MK-II having a broken speech pattern and being even more unstable than the first Copy X is due to how Copy X MK-II is actually a copy of Copy X, rather than the original Copy X. This alludes to how when one copies something from a copy, the newer copies begin to degrade in quality.
- ↑ Mega Man Zero Official Complete Works
- ↑ Vile's Incident: Eden dome, its sin and rebirth
- ↑ This is implied by Zero in-game shortly after beating Copy X, where he mentioned that he recalls the real X being much stronger, and is made a bit more explicit in the "Ciel's Memory ~ Truth of Hero" Radio Drama where Zero actually ends up shot by Copy X after accusing him and this world as being "fakes," with Zero, outside of briefly being stunned by being hit, completely shrugged it off and mentioned it was weak.

It ain't Milwaukee's best, but you can buy more and more interesting beers in cans these days.
Practically, canned beer works well for summer events like picnics or concerts where you don't want to risk those classy glass bottles. But it is also a kick to anyone who drank beer when classy glass bottles were just too expensive to even consider.
Ah, the Milwaukee's Best 12 pack. At an age before I even knew about gift bags and bringing a bottle of wine, I proved myself a good guest by ringing the doorbell with canned beer -- cheap beer, but more than I planned to drink myself. Now, craft brewers are getting into the act with a variety of beers canned for quality, not quantity.
Personally, my favorite is a Scottish Ale from Oskar Blues. For an adult review, you really want the Baltimore Beer Guy. I'll tell you that it's delicious and flavorful, and it's perfect for a barbeque. I think it's pretty available at liquor stores, certainly available at i.m. Wine in Fulton or Perfect Pour in Elkridge. Perfect Pour's beer wall has canned beer from Brooklyn Brewery, the Reading Brewing Company, and even a hefeweisen from Butternut Beer. They even have a $17 four-pack of Oskar Blues' Ten Fidy imperial stout. That's $4+ for each can of beer.
(Update: Check out the Craft Cans blog mentioned in a comment below. The Mama's Little Yella Pils is one of the good Oskar Blues brands available around here.)
If you're interested in beer, check out the Baltimore Beer Guy for news from the local craft beer bars or read my post about the Sudsy Triangle of Howard County.

Racal RA1772
I am looking for the circuit and layout diagrams for the RA1772 IF/AF pcb,
which has the designation PM364 Could anyone help. Although I was responsible for the team developing all the signal path of this receiver, I didn't retain that information. I have a RA1778, not a RA1772, but the 1778, being a B-model, still had the 1772 boards, whereas the 1778 handbook documents other pcbs for this receiver. I do hope someone could help. John G3NCN |

The Boat Anchor Manual Archive website has a good scan of the Racal 1771/1772 maintenance manual, but it is a large file (43MB). The following link will get you what you need: http://bama.edebris.com/download/rac...1_72maint2.pdf Paula |

Re: Racal RA1772
Hi John
Perhaps you can tell me why my +20V psu drops out from time to time!! I do have an original Racal manual for the 1772 so if any of the BAMA sheets are not clear I am happy to scan them for you. Don m5aky |

Re: Racal RA1772
Very many thanks to FRSIMEN, Paula, for the website quote, and particularly to Don, M5AKY, for the data provided and the disk of information. I now have all the info 5 need, and am very grateful for your prompt responses.
Hi Don. there arose a small percentage of griplet problems with the 1772 power supply pcb. The griplet was a rivet-like insert which was used instead of plated through holes. The soldering could very occasionally be dry-joint. Any other dry joint could be responsible, of course, but griplets are easy to spot on the pcb, and worth examining first. Is there any particular set of circumstances which causes 20v to fail? By the way, you are talking to a man who has not been involved for some 40+ years!! Good Luck, Don. |

Re: Racal RA1772
My 1772 power supply failed, bridge rectifier open cct. Noticed replacement too hot so added Cu cooling sheet carefully bent to fit in.
Perhaps better way is to put long wires and bolt to chassis. |

Re: Racal RA1772
Hi. John.
Only just seen your reply to my question re the 20V. What happens is shortly after switching on sometimes the 20V drops down to about 15V. If I switch off and back on again it restores and usually stays up. It can go for a few weeks without failing and sometimes it does it every day. I'll have a look at those feed-throughs. I remeber having problems as a service engineer with those on later valve equipment that used pcbs. Cheers Don m5aky. The 1720 that drives the 1816 has now decide to give reduced power after a few years of trouble free service. Just about to start another thread... |

Re: Racal RA1772
Hi John,
A long time after your request (only just seen it), but just in case you missed it - the info you are looking for is on my 1778 Yahoo group - Chapter 12. There's a colour pcb layout and colour annotated circuit diagram on there. For other 1778 owners, the group contains both Service Manuals and the User Guide and can be downloaded either as individual chapters or (via a link) in 2 large chunks.

South Wales Electricity is today expecting a new and higher offer from Welsh Water of more than pounds 9 a share, valuing the electricity distributor at over pounds 900m.
Andrew Walker, chief executive of Swalec, said Welsh Water now realised that to secure a recommended offer any bid would have to be "well north of pounds 9".
His statement followed Swalec's rejection yesterday of an outline offer of between 825p and 840p a share as "totally unacceptable". Swalec's shares began the day at 856p and finished at 861p.
After a day in which executives of the two companies and their advisers were closeted in the London offices of Rothschild, Swalec's merchant bank, the two sides agreed to meet again this afternoon.
Swalec said Welsh Water had stated that before making any formal offer it wanted to see the contents of a speech by Ian Lang, President of the Board of Trade, this afternoon on utility regulation.
This followed rumours in Westminster that Mr Lang was about to clamp down on the utilities. But the Department of Trade and Industry said Mr Lang was not planning to announce any changes in regulation.
Mr Walker said the indicative offer tabled yesterday would be firmly rejected by his board because of its complete failure to reflect shareholder value. But on the understanding that Welsh Water was willing to consider a significantly higher offer, Swalec would provide detailed information that would "clearly demonstrate that Swalec is worth substantially more than Welsh Water's inadequate proposal".
This proposal was refused after a half-hour meeting between the senior management of the two sides.
But Welsh Water's senior management, led by Ian Evans, the chairman, appeared to have a change of heart after spending three hours with its advisers in another room at Rothschild.
According to Mr Walker, Welsh Water's advisers then said their clients were prepared to offer a better price than the one suggested in the morning. On this basis, the two sidesagreed to meet again this afternoon, after the presentation of Swalec's interim results.
Mr Walker said the original proposal, which he had turned down, was at a substantial discount to the market price of Swalec, and included a full cash alternative at an unspecified discount to the offer level.
But Welsh Water did indicate that it was prepared to pay more in return for a recommendation from the Swalec board, subject to financing arrangements.
The offers being discussed exclude the value of Swalec's stake in National Grid, which is being floated on the stock market next month, with the value passed on to Swalec shareholders.

Internet newsgroups are online locations where internet users share information and communicate with millions of other users across the globe. The latest internet news on a range of subjects is posted by internet users on these newsgroups. Newsgroups are a type of continuous online discussion that is updated by internet users and the latest news is added constantly to the newsgroup. Newsgroups are one of the many locations on the internet where one can get the latest news on an array of subjects. The first example of a newsgroup on the internet was Usenet. Usenet was developed by a group of university students in 1979. Soon newsgroups became a global phenomenon because they were easy to create and use by an almost unlimited number of internet users. Newsgroups are decentralized and the news updated on one server is repeated on many servers around the world giving instant and easy internet news access to all internet users. One can communicated with millions of internet users about specific subjects through a newsgroup. Unlike emails newsgroups facilitate one way communication and only those who do not require replies or feedback post questions or information on newsgroups. One can get the latest internet news about millions of topics by visiting newsgroups. One can also get extensive information posted by millions of users by reading posts on internet newsgroups. Newsgroups are often misunderstood as forums or discussion groups. Forums and discussion groups use only one server and are moderated unlike newsgroups. This is the main drawback in posting and accessing internet news on newsgroups. They are seldom moderated and use several servers. This makes them vulnerable targets for spam. This is why the popularity of accessing internet news on newsgroups has waned in recent times. Internet news on newsgroups governs a range of topics including information technology current affairs sports business finance and entertainment. One can access internet news on newsgroups to get an extensive range of opinions on a wide range of topics posted by other expert or interested internet users.

On December 5, 2013, before a wonderfully diverse crowd that included alumni spanning the generations, Professor Edgar S. Cahn received the Neil Alexander Humanitarian Award, the DC Commission on Human Rights' highest honor which was the highlight of a program entitled "Honoring our Past, Changing the Present, and Building Our Legacy for Tomorrow" After an introduction by DC Commission on Human Rights Chair, Nikechi Taifa, Dr. Cahn started by admitting unease at his assigned role of talking about the past, explaining that, as all of those who knew him could attest, he lives mainly in the future!
After describing a bit about the beginnings of the federal Legal Services Corporation, the Antioch School of Law, Time Banking, and the DC Youth Court, he went into inspiring detail about the Time Banking movement and its potentially decisive role in enlisting the powers of those we seek to help to help others and themselves and to build community.
While Dr. Cahn was speaking, DC Mayor Vincent Gray arrived and listened. At the conclusion of Dr. Cahn's remarks, Mayor Gray made the award presentation and then proceeded to share his thoughts - which he had prepared as an introduction - about his long experience with Edgar and with Antioch School of Law attorneys who assisted in the closure of the Forest Haven mental health facility while the mayor was the Director of the DC Association for Retarded Citizens. The Mayor also acknowledged his "good friend" School of Law Dean Shelley Broderick in the audience and cited her and the School of Law for continued excellence.

Inside NASCAR: HOF class of '11 shares long history with Ford
May 26, 2011, Mark Aumann, NASCAR.com
If the inaugural NASCAR Hall of Fame class could be considered the "the founders year" -- the men who laid the groundwork for what the sport would become -- how best to label this year's five inductees? With Ford Motor Co. celebrating its 110th year in racing, due in no small part by the combined efforts of men like Bud Moore, Ned Jarrett, Bobby Allison and David Pearson, perhaps this class should be known as "the Ford year." "Racing was a way to advance the pace of technology that made its way into street cars. There's no reason any racing series can't be a platform for advancing technology.
" --JAMIE ALLISON The fifth member of the Class of 2011 -- Lee Petty -- also played a minor role in Ford's racing history. Even though he was best known for his association with Plymouth (and Oldsmobile), Petty drove a Lincoln to a ninth-place finish on the Daytona beach course in 1952, and finished 17th in Fred Frazier's Ford in the 1956 Southern 500 at Darlington. And the company Petty founded, Petty Enterprises, now competes under the Ford banner. "All of these inductees have connections with Ford," said Jamie Allison, Ford North America motorsports director. "Bud Moore, an American hero being a part of Ford history; Bobby Allison, winning the 1978 Daytona 500; Ned Jarrett, the winningest Ford driver in NASCAR and of course, David Pearson." According to Ford Racing's 110th Anniversary website, it was a race won by founder Henry Ford in October of 1901 that literally set the wheels in motion. Facing possible bankruptcy and needing both publicity and an influx of cash to realize his dream of low-cost, mass-produced vehicles for a wider market, Ford built a race car which he called "Sweepstakes." He challenged the faster car of Alexander Winton to a head-to-head duel in Grosse Pointe, Mich., that fall, and despite being a heavy underdog, he finished first -- and never raced again. Two years later, Ford introduced the Model T. And 110 years later, Trevor Bayne shocked the sport of stock car racing by scoring Ford's 600th Cup victory in the Daytona 500. With two exceptions -- the 1958 Automobile Manufacturers Association ban on racing and the decision by Henry Ford II to pull manufacturer support in 1970 -- Ford has been an integral part of NASCAR, right from the very first Strictly Stock race at Charlotte in 1949. Jim Roper, who drove a new Lincoln from Kansas to compete in the race, wound up the winner and $2,000 richer when Glenn Dunnaway's '47 Ford was disqualified for having non-stock rear springs. Perhaps Ford's history in NASCAR is best told by the men who lived it. Ned Jarrett Gentleman Ned won 43 races in a Ford before his retirement in 1966. More than four decades later, he remains the winningest Ford driver in NASCAR history. Jarrett's association with the brand came at an early age: "I grew up in a Ford family. My dad had a sawmill, so he had a Ford truck and a Ford family car. A lot of people might not know that Ford came out with a farm tractor and my dad bought one of those early on. It eventually became Ferguson. While I started my racing career, the car we were running in the Sportsman division was a Ford -- the 1937 through 1940 model coupe. Ford was the only one then that had a V8 engine. Chevrolet came out with its V8 engine in 1955. I just had an allegiance to Ford and when I got an opportunity to buy the car that I won my first race in, it was a 1957 Ford. I doubt I would have bought that car had it not been a Ford." Just like General Motors and Plymouth, Ford dropped its manufacturer support of NASCAR in 1958. But four years later, Jarrett said Ford came back into the sport in a big way: "In September of 1962, Ford came to Darlington at the Southern 500 and announced to the world that they were coming back into racing and they would sponsor four teams. They contacted me and asked if I would be interested in being one of those teams, and naturally I jumped at the opportunity. I drove the rest of my career for them in Ford cars and was pleased to win Ford's first championship for them in 1965." In the early '60s, purse money was small, and sponsorship deals were even smaller. So Jarrett said manufacturer support was vital to keep teams in operation: "The deal was that they would pay us $2,000 per race for every week that was 250 miles or longer. There were 17 of those races on the schedule back then. That included Martinsville and North Wilkesboro, Nashville, Asheville-Weaverville. Then they would give us the cars. They had an affiliation with Holman-Moody, which was their performance arm. So they built the cars up to a certain point -- basically a rolling chassis with a body on it. The bodies were stock back then, so you couldn't monkey around with them like you can now. Of course, we didn't have templates back then, either. "Then we would take them and tweak them customized to me. Ford built the engines, so they furnished all of that, and basically all of the parts. It was a good plan back then. It still was not enough money to entice anybody to run the entire schedule, because a 100-mile race paying about $1,000 to win just wasn't worth it. It cost you sometimes more to run a 100-mile race on a dirt track than it would to run 500 laps at Martinsville. I was able to get a partner and worked it out to where I could run all the races, so we made it work." David Pearson The Silver Fox was known as a big money racer. He was more likely to enter races where the purse money and prestige was at its greatest, and most likely to be the favorite. He ran the full NASCAR schedule just three times, and won the championship all three seasons, including two with Ford factory team Holman-Moody: "We had a good time and ran all the races and ended up winning the championship in 1968 and 1969. The reason I left Holman and Moody, we were in California and Ford quit the racing business. [Ford director of racing] Charlie Gray called me and said, 'Well, we might as well load up. Ford just called me and said they're out of racing. They just quit.' At that time, we just loaded up and left. "When Ford quit, John Holman took over the team and wanted me to stay on. At the time, I was getting 50 percent [of the purse]. Everywhere I went, I got 50 percent. John wanted me to drive for 40 percent. I said, 'John, if that 10 percent is all that's keeping you in the racing business, you might as well quit anyway.' I never drove for 40 percent and wasn't going to start now. He wouldn't budge and I said I'd better think of something else to do." For Pearson, that meant looking for another ride. And when the Wood Brothers were looking for a teammate to A.J. Foyt for the 1971 Daytona 500, Pearson was in the right place at the right time: "I knew they had a good car. I tried it out one time at Daytona. They asked me to shake the car down for them. The car handled so good, I just kept running and made quite a few laps. They said, 'You were out there an awful long time in that car.' And I said, 'It was just so good, I thought I'd stay out here and run awhile.' That's when I was still with Holman and Moody. "Anyway, when [Glen Wood] called me, he said he was thinking of running two cars and I said, 'Sure, I'd like that.' Of course, I went to them and ran real good with them. They asked if I wanted to run for them the next year and they asked if I wanted to run with Foyt or run it by myself. Well, they felt like they could do a better job with one car instead of two, and I did, too." Pearson won 43 races for the Woods between 1972 and 1979, including the 1976 Daytona 500. And he credits much of that to his association with Leonard Wood, whom Pearson calls the smartest man in the world: "I think Leonard knew what I wanted for the car. He knew what I thought about him, as far as that goes. If we ever went to a race track, when we left there, he knew exactly what we had. If I run good enough, when I go back to that next race track, I didn't worry about the car or anything else, I knew it would be close. We might would have to change air pressure a little bit during the race or something, which we done that a lot. In fact, we measured the tires and stuff before anybody even thought about doing it, I believe, because I happened to be sitting on the tires one day. I looked down and seen pencil marks on it. They didn't even tell me what size it was or why it was done that way. "The Woods [were] secretive about what they do. They didn't let anybody knew exactly what they was doing. It was something. Like I say, I could be a little bit loose or something like that. They would change the car, air pressure, stuff like that. They could change things in the car while the tire was off, reach up and turn it a little bit. They was good people to work for. They was real secretive. They wouldn't let nobody know what was going on. They accused me of being that way on the race track, which I did. I did different things. When you go out and practice, I wouldn't run like I would run during the race. I'd run different places on the race track, anything else to keep anybody else from knowing where I did run." Bud Moore Spartanburg, S.C., not Charlotte, was the center of the stock car universe in NASCAR's early days. And Bud Moore Engineering was consistently at the top of the heap. Moore was the chief mechanic for Buck Baker's 1957 championship, then wrenched Joe Weatherly's 1962 and 1963 title-winning cars. When Ford returned to the sport, Moore readily switched allegiances: "I was very fortunate to have major companies sponsor me throughout the years. Ford Motor Company, for 37 years, stood beside me. With their assistance, we developed fast and durable race cars capable of winning many races. Along with the relationship with Ford, came a lasting relationship with Edsel Ford, who I thank for his help for so many years. Looking back, I feel like I had a hand in a lot of contribution to our sport, whether it was running the first small block motor, the first two-way radio, tire testing for inner liners, or just trying to build a safe race car." The names of the drivers who piloted Bud Moore's Mercurys and Fords over the years reads like a Who's Who of NASCAR: "I never had a driver that I didn't really love to work with. We all got on real well. I remember Dale Earnhardt, the couple years he drove for me. I had a good relationship for Bobby Allison for three years. Geoffrey Bodine, I would say he was awful good. He was a little bit hard to get along with at times, but we won a lot of races and all this. Still we got along real well. Biggest thing, you know, we had so many drivers drive for me and all this, I was real thrilled to have all of them that did drive for me. "It's a great honor knowing all the guys that drove for me, how we worked together. The biggest thing is, like I told Buddy Baker, when he was driving for me, he got on me because he didn't get to qualify too good. [I said,] 'Buddy, I come down here to win the race, I didn't come down here to qualify good. The only thing on Monday morning, they don't say a word about who qualified good, they just tell you who won the race, that's what we're here for.' " And when it comes to future Hall of Fame classes, Moore has a list he'd like to see join him someday: "I think one of the oldest ones we don't want to leave out on this is Raymond Parks. You know, he died this past June. I really hoped he would have got around on the first round. I don't think we need to overlook him in this next round. You got Joe Eubanks ... Cotton Owens, who helped get NASCAR started in 1947. I think he'd be deserving going in. He won two championships. David Pearson, he drove for him for about three years. I think Owens being a driver like he was and all, he and Pearson, they did quite a bit together. "You have Herb Thomas, Fireball Roberts. You got quite a few back there that you have to look at. One of them I have to bring up is Joe Weatherly, who drove for me for three or four years and won two championships. He was always the clown of NASCAR with all of the stunts he pulled on everybody. The biggest stunt he pulled them on was [Curtis] Turner. Anyway, he was a heck of a race driver. I really enjoyed having him, all the stuff he did do, winning the championships, all the races we won. It was great. I'm hoping he has a good shot going in on the next round." Bobby Allison When it came to racing, the leader of the Alabama Gang would drive anything, anywhere, anytime. But some of his greatest victories -- including the 1978 Daytona 500 -- came behind the wheel of a Ford. Even his disputed 85th victory at Winston-Salem's Bowman-Gray Stadium in 1971 involved a Ford Mustang. Back before he broke into NASCAR -- and even in his early career -- Allison had ties to Ford: "My second car was a '37 Ford coupe with a flathead engine in it. Way, way back in the early days of my career, I ran that car, but pretty soon moved to other things. I actually ran a Holman-Moody Ford in 1965, but it was a year old car that they sold off. They sold it to a guy in Baton Rouge, La., and I drove it for him a few times. Then in 1967, I started the season driving with Bud Moore in his Mercury Cyclones. We were running a part-time deal and Cotton Owens called up and said if I started driving for him, he'd go to every race. David Pearson had quit and gone somewhere else." But Allison and Owens soon had a personality clash and parted ways before the end of the 1967 season. About that time, Allison got his first taste of factory invovlement in a very clandestine way: "I was working on my own car in the shop one day and I got a phone call. The voice on the other end said, 'You're going to get a phone call in two minutes and the answer is yes.' So I hung up. I'm hot and sweaty down in Alabama and wondering, 'Why is Ralph Moody aggravating me?' It rang again. The voice said, 'This is Fred Lorenzen. Ford gave me a car for Rockingham. Would you drive it?' Well, I already had the answer: Yes. "So I went to Rockingham with Freddy as the crew chief and Ralph Moody as the owner and backer. And I got my first 500-mile win and my first factory Ford ride. Two weeks later, I won Asheville-Weaverville and that was in a duel with Richard Petty. He knocked me out of the way on a restart, and when I knocked him back out of the way, everybody was upset that I was roughing up the King. And then they let us go to Macon and we won there. Then we went to Montgomery, a half-mile track where I won my first race in 1959, but right at the very end I had a problem and finished second. And then John Holman fired me." Moody would hire Allison later, only to have Holman fire him a second time. By 1978 and stuck in the middle of a two-year winless streak, Allison wondered if he'd ever find his way back to Victory Lane: "I wore myself out struggling, decent finishes but no wins. I was really down in the dumps. Then Bud Moore called and said Buddy Baker had resigned to go over to M.C. Anderson 'and would you come drive the Thunderbird?' And I said, 'Yep, I will.' And we won Daytona. The wins I had in Bud Moore's cars were the only Ford wins for about three seasons. Bud really gave me a good car every week, week-in and week-out. I agreed to drive for Bud and our first race was Riverside. And I really liked Riverside. We had only run a few laps there and had engine failure. I let this trouble me and I got a sick feeling because Buddy had said the cars had not been as reliable as he had hoped. I leave Riverside and I'm really feeling bad. And here I've started this brand-new deal and we go to one race and have an engine failure. "So we get to Daytona with the Thunderbird and that thing is really good. The qualifying races on Thursday were rained out, so they were run Friday morning. We're in the second qualifying race and I'm leading the race right at the very end. And Buddy Baker dives under me, gets to some debris and wrecks me so bad that this deal is over. In my mind, I'm done. I go back to the hotel and laid around there and tossed and turned all night. Finally I said, 'I'm going to go over and tell Bud I'm done, I'm going home.' And I walked down there and those guys had rebuilt that car and painted it and lettered it, fresh engine, fresh chassis, and it was sitting there ready to go. It stunned me. I said, 'Man, if these guys have done this for me, I've got to give them one more day.' I started 33rd and drove that baby into the lead and won that race." Epilogue Henry Ford's 1901 victory still resonates at the company's Dearborn headquarters. The company provides more technical support to the teams now -- engine dynos, wind tunnels, computer aided design -- than it does in monetary payouts, but the bottom line is the same as it was 110 years ago. "We race today for the same reason he did," Jamie Allison said. "He was trying to attract attention, and in this case, trying to start the company. We race today to reach out to our fans and showcase our products." And for Allison, the numbers validate Ford's commitment to the sport. "When it comes to NASCAR, the racing program -- although it's a part of the DNA, the foundation of the company -- ultimately after 110 years, the data does show that race fans love Ford more than non-fans, and race fans buy more Fords," Allison said. "It is unequivocal. It is empirical. "And the biggest motorsports affinity that exists in the U.S. is NASCAR. We have research that goes out quarterly among all new vehicle intenders and the first question they're asked is 'Are you a motorsports fan?' And roughly 40 percent say yes. And then we ask 'What form of motorsports do you follow?' and 84 percent say they follow NASCAR." With NASCAR working with the manufacturers to create styling that looks more like the street versions in time for the 2013 season, Allison would like to see things taken a step further. "The more correlation between street car technology and race car technology makes the fans connect with what they see," Allison said. "As a series, there's no reason why the pace of technology that exists in NASCAR can't keep up with the pace of innovation that exists in the marketplace, and sometimes lead it. "That's what racing started out to be. Racing was a way to advance the pace of technology that made its way into street cars. There's no reason any racing series can't be a platform for advancing technology." While Ford celebrates its racing past -- and it's connection with the newest NASCAR Hall of Fame class -- the manufacturer continues to remain focused on the future, according to Allison. And that future will continue to be connected to NASCAR. "NASCAR fans are car buyers, which is why we -- as a car company -- are very interested in what happens in NASCAR."Two-fold talents
From his first championship in 1961 through a broadcast career of more than two decades, Ned Jarrett became a legend in more ways than one.Best of the best
Perhaps the greatest measure of David Pearson's talent was his mastery of racing at Darlington.
Larger than life
Through 85 years of life, Bud Moore has seen it all -- and then some.Self-made champion
Bobby Allison didn't just superbly turn a steering wheel. He built race cars equally as well as he drove them.

A peplos (Greek: ὁ πέπλος) is a body-length garment established as typical attire for women in ancient Greece by 500 BC (the Classical period). It was a long, tubular cloth with the top edge folded down about halfway, so that what was the top of the tube was now draped below the waist, and the bottom of the tube was at the ankle. The garment was then gathered about the waist and the folded top edge pinned over the shoulders. The folded-down top of the tube provided the appearance of a second piece of clothing. (The Caryatid statues show atypical drapery.)[1]
The peplos was draped and open on one side of the body, like the Doric chiton. It should not be confused with the Ionic chiton, which was a piece of fabric folded over and sewn together along the longer side to form a tube. The Classical garment is represented in Greek vase painting from the 5th century BC and in the metopes of temples in Doric order.
Spartan women continued to wear the peplos much later in history than other Greek cultures, causing other Greeks to call them phainomērídes (φαινομηρίδες) the "thigh-showers."

On the last day of the Pyanepsion, the priestess of Athena Polias and the Arrephoroi, a group of girls chosen to help in the making of the sacred peplos, set up the loom on which the enormous peplos was to be woven by the Ergastinai, another group of girls chosen to spend about nine months making the sacred peplos. They had to weave a theme of Athena's defeat of Enkelados and the Olympian's defeat of the Giants. The peplos of the statue was changed each year during the Plynteria.
The peplos played a role in the Athenian festival of the Great Panathenaea. Nine months before the festival, at the arts and crafts festival titled Chalkeia, a special peplos would begin to be woven by young women. This peplos was placed on the statue of Athena during the festival procession. The peplos had myths and stories woven into its material and usually consisted of purple and saffron yellow cloth.

This is the dreamland Fleecy Heated Underblanket with the very latest Intelliheat control and technology built in. This one fits a standard double bed and has dual controls which means that each side can be set to its own preferred temperature. An underblanket is used underneath you. You place it directly on to your mattress and fasten it in place with the ties provided. You then make your bed up as normal after attaching the power lead to a convenient power socket. The upper surface is a soft simulated fleece to provide added comfort. The new Intelliheat technology allows the underblanket to heat up in just 5 minutes, meaning that you can switch it on and by the time you have finished brushing your teeth your bed will be warm, and toasty. The Intelliheat Digital Control Unit has 6 intelligent temperature settings and is very clear and simple to use. To operate switch the unit on and select the fast pre heat option, then when you are ready to get into bed select your preferred temperature setting which will then be precisely maintained for as long as you require. You can choose to have the heat on for just 1 hour and then to auto switch off or if you prefer you can set it for 9 hours which will provide your chosen temperature level all night long. The intelliheat system cleverly controls and minimises energy consumption meaning that running costs are incredibly low. A single Intelliheat Heated Underblanket costs just 1p to run all night long. It is much cheaper just to heat your bed rather than the whole room. It is held in place using ties that pass underneath your mattress and are tied together at a convenient place. The Double Dual Dreamland Intelliheat Fleecy Electric Underblanket measures 150cm long by 137cm wide and is intended to be positioned centrally on your bed in the area that you lie on.

Quoting KarelXWB (Thread starter): Lufthansa will split an order for about 50 wide-body aircraft between Airbus and Boeing |
Quoting ferpe (Reply 12): There will be severe fighting in every segment border and I am sure Airbus is starting to look at a -1100 |
Quoting Heavierthanair (Reply 13): They also have the dilemma with the 20 options for the 747-8. Selecting the 777-9 gives them a more capable aircraft and being the / a launch customer they must have gotten an excellent deal on those while resolving the issue with the 747-8 options. |
Quoting FlyingAY (Reply 1): Was the 787 too small for LH? The 787-10 that was large enough maybe had too short range? What does this mean when it comes to the 747-8i fleet? Interesting order and congrats to all parties! |
Quoting jfk777 (Reply 2): Great news for Boeing to have Luftnansa as the 777-9X launch customer. This time hopefully airlines will buy the plane since the 747-8 has been a dog. |
Quoting ap305 (Reply 4): After moaning about excessive aircraft range capability, LH is going to buy the 2 most capable aircraft in their respective classes. I always thought this order will split but for the a350-1000 and the 787-10. |
Quoting wingman (Reply 6): "Boeing jets will make up the majority of the order". If that's true then I will be stunned. I never thought I'd see the day come to be honest. |
Quoting SEPilot (Reply 11): I still am surprised that after commenting that the manufacturers are making their planes to suit the ME carriers; i.e. much more range than the European carriers need, LH ignores the plane that seems to fit their bill perfectly (the 7810) and buys the much longer ranged competitor from Airbus. But who said anyone had to be logical or consistent? And what is the advantage of the A359 over the 7810, except for more range? |
Quoting william (Reply 10): Seems like Luftftansa is whittling down the aircraft types. What present aircraft will this order replace? |
Quoting Heavierthanair (Reply 13): So far so good. But the 50 aircraft order talked about will by no means cover all the replacement for the existing A330-300 / A340-300, 340-600 and B747-400 fleet. Having chosen the A 350 as being part of their fleet LH will have the option for any model of the series, so surely some of the A340-600 replacements will be A350-1000's while others will be replaced with 777-9's. Same at the upper end where some more B747-400's will be replaced with A380's. |
Quoting KarelXWB (Thread starter): Lufthansa will split an order for about 50 wide-body aircraft between Airbus and Boeing |
Quoting Revelation (Reply 18): The article mentions this order was previously said to be "winner-take-all" contest. |
Quoting Revelation (Reply 18): It's also a split for the engine makers too - Rolls for the A350 and GE for the 777X. |
Quoting sassiciai (Reply 8): Is this 100% credible and accurate? |
Quoting Prost (Reply 19): The winner is Lufthansa. And they're taking it all! |
Quoting Prost (Reply 19): We have to wait until next week, but such leaks by people "familiar with the matter" turns in 99% of the cases out to be true. |
Quoting Burkhard (Reply 23): If this means no more 748I orders than this is a black friday for aviation. |
Quoting lhrnue (Reply 24): Is LH already replacing the 747-8i with the 777-9X? |
Quoting lhrnue (Reply 24): Is LH already replacing the 747-8i with the 777-9X? |
Quoting AA777223 (Reply 31): An LH 777. Now Jesus can return. |
Quoting Sooner787 (Reply 33): I wonder if the future AF1 jet will be either a B777-8 or B777-9? |
Quoting KarelXWB (Reply 32): But the saga continues: the whole world is buying 787s except LH |
Quoting SEPilot (Reply 11): And what is the advantage of the A359 over the 7810, except for more range? |
Quoting autothrust (Reply 37): I think (at the moment)the only think what is important to LH is capacity. |
Quoting Sooner787 (Reply 33): As much as I love the 748's, The writing's on the wall for those birds. |
Quoting KarelXWB (Reply 30): > A330 > A359 (replacing A343) > B779 (replacing A346) > B748 (replacing B744) > A388 (replacing B744) |
Quoting FlyingGoat (Reply 41): lol, indeed. However, if your previous post is correct, and this is just a A340 replacement order, than perhaps there is still an eventual chance for a 787-9 or -10 order to replace the A330. |
Quoting FlyingGoat (Reply 41): than perhaps there is still an eventual chance for a 787-9 or -10 order to replace the A330. |
Quoting kaitak744 (Reply 42): The 777-9X is about the same passenger capacity as the 747-400. I would be a significant upguage over the A340-600. In general, their fleet is going for an overall upguage. |
Quoting rj777 (Reply 47): Actually I was referring to the just announced 779 order. |
Quoting rj777 (Reply 43): So, the 777s are for Lufthansa themselves and not Swiss? |
Quoting jfk777 (Reply 45): there is an order for 6 777-300ERfor SWISS placed about 6 months ago. |

- The law has become so lopsided towards the State, there's a unique sense of "us against them."
- Technology makes everything so simple. Denton lawyer Rick Hagen just made reference to a "Brazelton" case "that's great" on the issue of character evidence, but he didn't have the legal citation as to where it could be found. But with Wifi and Google Legal Search, I had it within seconds on a laptop in front of me.
- I chose to have the seminar materials on CD instead of receiving them in notebook form. Rick's presentation included a complete trial transcript of a trial he won a few years back. I'm able to drag the pdf file to Google Docs and into a newly named folder of "Sex Assault Seminar 2010" and it's there forever and assessible from anywhere.
- I'm amazed at the number of people in this room that I don't know.
- The guy beside me is typing on an iPad.
- Oddly, those with laptops in this room probably number at less than 10%. I find that amazing.
- No, this seminar is not about getting sex offenders acquitted every time, it's about making the State prove its case, following the law, and looking for reasonable doubt. Think all those Dallas County DNA exonerees would have wanted their lawyer to attend one of these seminars back in the day?
- "You can't have one ounce of phoniness when you try one of these cases. You have to be you." - Just heard and couldn't agree more.
How Criminal Defense Legal Seminars Have Changed Over The Years
7 comments:
You defense guys are heroes. If not for you, the State would run rampant over our rights. I'd rather ten guilty people go free than risk one innocent in prison.
Do you mean "accessible" instead of "assessible", or did you just misspell assessable?
"No, this seminar is not about getting sex offenders acquitted every time, it's about making the State prove its case, following the law, and looking for reasonable doubt."--Yeah right, you mean to tell me you would not take a win on a technicality even if you knew your client was guilty? - 1:06 PM
So what goes on at these so called Sex Seminars you attend...Hmmmm?
hey 12:17, unless one of those ten people sexually assaulted YOUR child and then got off because someone like Barry went to a seminar and learned that if a word is misspelled or omitted the person is automatically innocent. you bleeding heart pansy, John Wayne would take a bootheel to your liberal self. (that is if he were real and not a dead actor.)
1:52....stop believing everything you read on the internet. The notion that people get exonerated based on a typo or a misspelled word is BS.
which is worse - attending a seminar like this or getting hit repeatedly in the balls with a claw hammer?
The title of "sex offender" is way too loosely used in legal terms and people unfairly marked for life with no opportunity to be productive in society.
There are certainly true sex offenders but too many times, someone who made a mistake of dating the wrong person or something minor with respect to a sex related crime (and we're not talking rape or assault here) is not allowed to change and live a productive life because of the GIANT "SEX OFFENDER" tag put on them.... no matter the crime.
Our society thrives on anything "sex" good or bad....and blown way out of proportion as to the reality of level of news.
And no one would stand up for them because you would look like you are against "family values" or such if you spoke in their favor. - 8:57 PM

You guys keep complaining that you want more realism from your games and we keep giving you browner and browner textures in first person shooters but apparently it's not enough. Don't you people realize that "realism" in games means "blowing up people in a desert?" What more do you want?
Fine, fine. You know what? Here you go, here's our new game. You're a cat. No, not a super cat. Not a cartoon character cat with a wacky costume. You have no super powers. You can't jump higher than a regular cat. You don't have super powerful claw swipes with which to dispatch your enemies, in fact you've been de-clawed. And neutered. You're not even an outside cat, either; you're stuck in a house and have to entertain yourself while your owner's at work. And you have a sleep meter that fills up super fast, forcing you to take a nap.
And just because we're d---s like that, it's got always-on DRM so if you're not on the internet you can't play. Enjoy signing up for Origin, you picky motherf-----s!

Event Description
What is a combination product? What are some examples of combination products? How are combination products assigned for review? Where can I find guidance for how master files can be used in the submission of information relevant to my combination product? Determine which Center will review my combination or non-combination product?
These topics and more will be addressed during this Webinar, including recently FDA's proposed rule to codify the current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) requirements applicable to combination products. This proposed rule is intended to promote the public health by clarifying which cGMP requirements apply when drugs, devices, and biological products are combined to create a combination product. In addition, the proposed rule sets forth a transparent and streamlined regulatory framework for firms to use when demonstrating compliance with cGMP requirements for "single-entity" and "co-packaged" combination products. FDA proposes to create 21 CFR Part 4, subpart A, to codify the cGMP requirements that apply to combination products. What current good manufacturing practice requirements apply to my combination product? The proposed rule seeks to clarify which cGMP requirements apply when drugs, devices, and biological products are used to create combination products. The agency notes that there are no express preemption provisions of the act applicable to prescription drugs or biological products.
Areas Covered in the Session:
- Introduction to Combination Products if you design, develop, produce, distribute and deploying a sustainable regulatory strategy
- Description and explanation of FDA's proposed rule
- Requirements for Single-Entity and Co-Packaged Combination Products
- Identify requirements that apply to the constituent parts of a Combination Product before they are combined, or packaged together
- What current good manufacturing practice requirements apply to my combination product?
- Learn FDA's new terms and phrases
- Understand how to address a Request for Designation for a combination or non-combination product and examples of "combo" products
- Resources and guidance to help define a proven regulatory strategy
Who Will Benefit:
- All levels of management and departmental representatives and those who desire a better understanding or a "refresh" overview
- Regulatory Affairs
- Clinical Affairs
- Quality and Compliance
- Marketing & Sales
- Distributors
- Engineering/Technical Services/Operations
- Consultants
Price: US $116.00
