Sephora Airbrush Brushes #57 and #55
I bought a couple of Sephora brushes a few weeks ago from their Professional Platinum Airbrush Series: The #57 Airbrush Concealer Brush ($24), and the Airbrush Foundation Brush in #55 (#34). These brushes are designed to work flawlessly with creams and liquids to give an impeccable airbrush looking finish, as the bristles are of synthetic Taklon. I like that you can also build up your desired coverage. I have been using these brushes in my recent looks, so to get an idea of how they perform you can just take a look at my most recent FOTD's. :)
I love that the concealer brush isn't flat like many concealer brushes out there, it's a round fluff brush that really covers a lot of area and gives a nice airbrush look and finish when used with liquid concealers or even to blend and smooth out cream concealers.
***[Tip]***- The trick is to swipe a tiny bit of your liquid or cream concealer under your eye once to cover the area, then DAB and PAT the foundation gently into your skin to avoid streaks and to give the airbrush look, then finish off by applying a translucent finishing/setting powder to ensure long lasting wear and prevent any creasing in fine lines and truly give that matte look.
The foundation brush is a wide headed fluffy brush, it's great for covering large areas such as the neck, cheeks, and forehead. There is also a smaller foundation brush (#56) also at Sephora that can cover smaller areas if desired. I apply my liquid foundation by putting one pump onto my makeup palette (flat metal pan I have by Graftobian) to allow me to mix (if necessary) and to easily apply it on my brush; then using circular motions, I apply all over my face, then dab and pat into my skin all over to get rid of any streaks. I then apply a finishing/setting powder to set my look and get rid of any shine.
I took a pic of the concealer brush head next to my camera's SD card to show you a size comparison side by side so you can get an idea of how big it actually is.
Price? These brushes are pricey but trust me, I think they are well worth it because the results are amazing. Honestly, if you are on a budget and I had to pick one, I would pick the concealer brush over the foundation brush because the concealer brush is unique and there's not a lot of concealer brushes out there that are quite like it. Many concealer brushes are flat and don't really allow you to blend your concealer to give you a flawless look. The foundation brush gives a nice airbrush look, but I think it can easily be replicated using other brushes or techniques, even my beauty blender sponge gives me a nice finish. Sephora also has tons of sales and discounts so it's best to buy these then. :)

I have the #55, but instead of foundation I've been using it more for blush because I find it applies liquid foundation streaky on me and I much more would rather grab for a flat top brush.

I've been looking for a good concealer brush because the MAC 194 isn't cutting it. I'm glad you did a post on these brushes. Can't for your series!
I bought a Sephora powder brush online because it was on sale for $7 & the brush is so soft. I'm hoping these brushes are just as soft!

Survey: High Fuel Prices Slowing Rural Growth
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Higher fuel prices may be applying brakes to the economy in rural areas of 10 Midwest and Plains states.
A monthly survey index of rural bankers dropped to 57.1 in April from 59.8 in March. Organizers of the Rural Mainstreet Index survey say any score above 50 suggests the economy will grow.
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss says there are signs that the higher energy and fuel prices are slowing growth in agriculture-dependent areas. And he says slower global growth has harmed some rural areas that are dependent on agricultural sales.
The survey covers Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Cons 35% (33%)
Libs 33% (36%)
Ipsos shows a swing in Ontario, which speaks to a pretty self evident volatility:
Cons 39% (34%)
Libs 37% (44%)
No NDP total released yet, but one assumes a slight uptick from the last result of 12%.
In Quebec, more of the same:
Libs 36% (32%)
Bloc 36% 34%)
Cons 14% (14%)
British Columbia, not much change from the last poll:
39 per cent support in British Columbia, while the Liberals garnered 27 per cent and the New Democrats 24 per cent.
In a testament to how national numbers can be somewhat misleading, a point I have made often, the pollster still sees a Liberal victory:
The seat distribution in Canada means that although the Conservatives and Liberals appear to be in a close contest, the Liberal vote is "more efficient" and would likely lead to a victory if an election was held today, Bricker said.
The change in this poll is entirely a Ontario consideration. Bricker mentions the economy, possibly stabilizing, which is helping the Conservatives. That is a consideration, as are the attack ads. However, I see the Dhalla controversy as particularly relevant, the story received massive coverage, particular in Ontario, for a weak, the optics were quite poor and it could have trimmed Liberal support. That could part of the equation here, or just natural volatility in the numbers. If one is inclined to believe this is evidence of attack ads working, then you would expect to see movement throughout the country, not just in one province. The fact this is Ontario specific leads me to discard that causal relationship.
Ultimately, it might just be over analyzing for explanation, when really the Ontario numbers are doing what they always do, move around with regularity.

Costa Rica or Bust
At the airport, people kept asking us if we were headed on a vacation. Hmmm, was it that obvious with the shorts in the middle of winter?
The First Morning in CR
After a long travel day (one big delay, two layovers, and an hour's drive from the airport once we landed), it was fantastic to wake up to this view on Playa Flamingo, one of the many beaches on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.

These marmosets at Monkey Park were hilarious. The one on the left would not stop gnawing at the cage. The facial expression on the one on the right says it all.

Hudson homers, earns 200th win as Braves rout Nationals
Atlanta, GA – Tim Hudson tossed seven terrific innings and hit his third career home run en route to his 200th career victory as the Atlanta Braves routed the Washington Nationals, 8-1, in the second installment of a four-game set at Turner Field.
"It was just one of those nights," said Hudson. "The stars aligned and I guess it was meant to be. You rarely have the chance to accomplish something like this and hit a home run. Our team is in first place and we're playing some pretty good baseball. Things are good."
Hudson (3-1) allowed just one run and three hits while striking out six in his historic effort. He also doubled and scored twice as Atlanta won its second straight to maintain the best record in the National League.
Freddie Freeman and Andrelton Simmons each went 3-for-5, with Freeman adding three RBI and Simmons smacking his second homer of the season to go with three runs scored.
Gio Gonzalez (2-2) lasted just four innings in the defeat, surrendering five runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out nine.
Atlanta went up early, tacking on two runs in the bottom of the first after Hudson retired the Nationals in order in the top of the frame. Simmons lead off with a homer deep down the left-field line, and Evan Gattis drove in Justin Upton, who had walked, later in the inning with a double. Gattis finished with two hits and two RBI.
The Braves added two more runs in the next inning. Following Hudson's double to deep left field, Chris Johnson ripped a line drive over the third basemen's head for an RBI single. Johnson then advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a Freeman single.
Gattis provided the Braves with another insurance run in the fourth when he singled to center, plating Simmons.
The Nats finally got on the board in the top of the fifth. Tyler Moore opened with a double to left, breaking up Hudson's no-hitter, and came around to score two batters later when Wilson Ramos grounded out to third.
"He's been doing it a long time and it showed tonight," said Moore on Hudson's performance. "He's just consistent around the plate. He's a good pitcher all- around."
Atlanta broke the game open with a three-run fifth inning, which began with Hudson's two-out home run to right. Bryce Harper made a play on the ball and got his glove on it but failed to make the catch as the ball ricocheted off of his glove and into the right-field bleachers.
Freeman's sharp grounder to first with the bases loaded cost Washington another two runs, as it squirted past Adam LaRoche and into right field.
Game Notes
Upton drew three walks ... Seventeen of Hudson's 21 outs recorded came on strikeouts or groundouts ... Anthony Varvaro pitched two perfect innings of relief for Atlanta ... Hudson earned his 200th win in his 411th career start ... Hudson became the second pitcher to hit a home run in his 200th win.

Moose Hunting Questioned as Numbers Fall
DULUTH (AP) - As Minnesota's moose population declines, more people are asking why the state still allows hunting of the iconic animals.
Despite ongoing research, nobody yet understands for sure why moose are disappearing from Minnesota.
Department of Natural Resources biologists say the restricted bulls-only hunt has no adverse effects on the population, estimated at 4,230 animals. Last fall, state-licensed hunters killed just 45 bulls. Add in tribal hunters and the total harvest was fewer than 100.
University of Minnesota Duluth researcher John Pastor says he knows moose hunting is popular, but he thinks it's time to stop hunting them.
A legislative panel plans to hold hearings about the decline of Minnesota's moose. Rep. David Dill, DFL-Crane Lake, says it will be a broader discussion than just hunting.

Cincinnati has lost its last two games and that is not good news for Lipscomb Bisons coach Scott Sanderson.
The Bearcats, ranked 25th nationally, lost in overtime 83-79 at Xavier in a physical game Sunday, Dec. 13. Wednesday night they lost 64-74 at Alabama-Birmingham.
"They are a big, physical, strong and athletic team," said Sanderson. "They have a lot of guys who can play. When they are right they are very talented.
"They are coming off a couple of losses. We don't know how they are going to react to that. I'm more concerned about how we have prepared and how we play. We look forward to the opportunity."
Sanderson is preparing for the Bearcats to use an 11-man rotation Saturday when the two teams tip-off at 1 p.m. They have three players averaging in double figures – freshman guard Lance Stephenson (12.3), sophomore forward Yancy Gates (11.8) and senior guard Deonta Vaughn (10.2). Gates, 6-foot-9, also leads the Bearcats in rebounds with 7.3.
"Everybody in the country recruited Stephenson," said Sanderson. "He is a 6-foot-5 wing player. He is really good. Vaughn has been first team All-Big East the last two years."
The Bearcats are 6-3 overall, 4-0 on their home court. The Bisons are 4-5, 2-3 on the road.
The Bisons have won their last two games and four of their last five. They have four players averaging in double figures in scoring – junior center Adnan Hodzic (21.8), junior guard Josh Slater (17), junior forward Brandon Brown (13.9) and sophomore guard Jordan Burgason (10.5). Burgason is also averaging three 3-point field goals per game.
"We have told our guys in practice that we either have to score early or score late," said Sanderson. "We are averaging 85 points a game. We can't turn down good shots by the right people and there is a fine line between good shots and bad shots.
"And if we don't score in transition we have to make five, six or seven passes to get a good shot. Understanding the difference between good shots and bad shots is concept that is sometimes very difficult for a team to digest. We have to make them guard the possession. And if they have to guard the possession they get the ball fewer times."
The Bearcats are strong rebounding team, averaging 43.4 per game while holding opponents to 34.3 per game. The Bisons are averaging 37.9 rebounds per game with Hodzic leading the way with 7.4 boards per game. The Bisons have been holding opponents to an average of 32.1 per game.
"A fourth of their offense is going to the backboard and sticking the ball back in," said Sanderson. "They have so much size and length.
"We are a very good rebounding team, but that is going to be a pivotal stat for us. If we do miss, can we rebound it? We will have to rebound by committee. We will be sending all five guys to the defensive glass."
One area that the Bisons will be stressing will be keeping turnovers at a minimum.
"Josh's play at the point guard spot is one of the reasons we have won four of our last five games," said Sanderson. "We have cut down on our turnovers.
"Limiting our unforced turnovers will be another critical stat for us. We can't get off to a slow start like we did against Vanderbilt a month ago. We have to take care of the basketball when they are pressing. We have to attack the goal at the other end of the floor."
The Bisons have balanced practice this past week with completing final exams for the fall semester. Exams ended Thursday.
"We had to take a couple of days off because of exams," said Sanderson. "They are more mentally tired than physically tired.
"Knowing what Cincinnati is going to do is not a difficult thing. Trying to stop what they are going to do is the difficult thing. We have to be able to combat what they are trying to do to us."
The Bisons will close out the pre-Christmas schedule Monday night at 8 when they visit Tucson, Ariz., to play Arizona.Written by Mark McGee, Senior Writer/Director of Media Relations

British GP 2012
Friday Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (13th, 1:59.476): "If there's too much standing water on track we can't go out, as we aquaplane pretty quickly. I think Senna went off and it shows how quickly it can happen. It's a real shame for the fans sitting in the grandstands waiting for the cars to come out. I feel for them. We got in a bit of running in the end, but for us it's not so useful, as you can't really try anything in these conditions. I think weather will be the most important factor in determining the rest of the weekend. Hopefully it gets a bit better tomorrow so we can get ready for qualifying."
Mark Webber (23rd, No Time): "It's a real shame for the fans today. All the drivers and everyone in the teams are thinking of them because it wasn't the best day for action, but obviously we have to have an eye on the tyres for the rest of the weekend. There's a good chance we might need them, so we had to be careful with how many laps we did. You've got to take your hat off to the spectators and the support that they showed in absolutely awful conditions. I just really hope that a lot of them are back tomorrow because we have no choice but to get on with it then!"
Lewis Hamilton (1st, 1:56.345): "I had some fun out there today! I got to do a good few laps too, which was good, because I was concerned that the fans wouldn't get to see much action. There were so many of them out there today. I can't remember seeing so many people at a racetrack on a Friday before - it was incredible. British Formula 1 fans are the best in the world! I would like to have gone out and done even more laps - but we simply didn't have enough tyres to do that. Perhaps that's something we can look at for the future. There was a lot of standing water out there, and tons of aquaplaning. That's to be expected when there's heavy rain, of course, but I have to say that there doesn't seem to be that much drainage around the circuit. You're aquaplaning almost all the time, to be honest, so you need to be very in tune with your senses or you're very likely to lose control. I think the drivers can probably make more of a difference in the wet than we can in the dry, so I'm really looking forward to the rest of the weekend, which looks likely to stay chilly and wet."
Jenson Button (6th, 1:57.948): "We learned a few things today - but mainly that it's often wet at Silverstone and the fans always come out in force even when it's chucking it down! Seriously, though, I'm glad we were finally able to do some running as it hasn't been the nicest of days for them. It was very tricky out there - there was lots of standing water. You wouldn't want to be racing wheel-to-wheel in those conditions, as you wouldn't see the puddles until it was too late. I think we learned throughout the day where the biggest rivers on the circuit were situated - one of the biggest is along the Hangar Straight just before Stowe. You're travelling at 290km/h [180mph] and you hit a river that gives you wheelspin - at that speed - and when that happens your car can snap out of control very easily. When you're driving alone, it's not so bad, because you can pick your way around and lift off whenever necessary, but in the race you can't do that. So, pretty obviously, I hope there won't be as much standing water around on Sunday."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "At the end of a free practice day on which it barely stopped raining even for a minute, it's a relief to be able to point to two fully intact Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 cars, with all their wings and appendages still attached! It was extremely slippery out there today; nonetheless, despite our having to limit our running in order to conserve enough wet-weather tyres for the rest of the weekend, both our drivers did an excellent job in the appalling conditions, getting through some useful wet-weather development work without mishap. Moreover, with wet weather forecast for much of tomorrow and Sunday, today's successful research represents an important baseline from which we can focus our developmental strategy with a view to competing for ultimate honours in the 2012 Santander British Grand Prix."
Fernando Alonso (10th, 1:59.015): "There's very little I can say this afternoon, or at least even less than usual for a Friday. We did very few laps because of the rain and the fact that, with the number of sets of rain tyres limited by the regulations, there was no sense in doing more running. Rather, it was better to save tyres, given that the forecast is definitely not encouraging, as it is meant to rain all weekend. In other circumstances, if the rest of the weekend was meant to be dry maybe, then we could have done more running, but in these conditions, as I said, that really wasn't the case. In the wet, the car seems okay, but it's practically impossible to say where we are compared to the others. Tomorrow morning, let's hope we can at least do a few laps in the dry so as to least have a rough idea of the behaviour of the Soft and Hard compounds that Pirelli has brought here. The off track moment towards the end? The car was aquaplaning and it got away from me. A shame about the front wing and now we must see if we can repair it."
Felipe Massa (15th, 2:00.565): "The weather made this a difficult day. It rained all the time and upset our workload therefore we decided therefore to do only a little running to save tyres for tomorrow and Sunday. Obviously this meant we were not able to test the way we wanted, especially when it came to the small updates we have brought to this Grand Prix. I did only three timed laps, so it's impossible to say anything about how the F2012 is behaving on this track. Tomorrow, regardless of the conditions, we will try and do more laps to be as well prepared as possible for qualifying and the race. We will try and do what we can."
Pat Fry: "Let's say that today it would have been more interesting to compare tortellini with tagliatelle - or maybe Parma ham and Jamon Serrano, rather than spending three hours on the pit wall not even managing to complete a dozen timed laps! Joking apart, honestly it wasn't worth doing much running, because the number of sets of rain tyre per driver is very limited and also because we did not want to risk the cars in such difficult track conditions, with so much surface water. So the real off key moment of the day was Fernando's off track excursion right on his "in" lap at the end of FP2, which resulted in a broken front wing: now we will try and repair it for the rest of the weekend. We feel very sorry for the many spectators in the grandstands: unfortunately, this was the reality of the situation and we could not do many laps just for the sake of it. We had a few updates, nothing revolutionary, to try but obviously, we could not do much in these conditions. So we tried to do what we could, for example some practice starts, putting off until tomorrow the task of preparing for qualifying and the race. Certainly, if the rain was to continue to play its part, then we will have to be clever in managing the situation as well as possible. We continue to push on the development of the F2012, because now that we have significantly reduced the gap to the best, compared to where we were at the start of the season, it becomes increasingly difficult to make progress: the pace and effectiveness of the updates will be the key to the rest of the season."
Mercedes GP
Michael Schumacher (3rd, 1:56.545): "There are still things to be learned on days like these and the positive about today's rain was that it is also forecast for tomorrow and Sunday. This meant that we were able to use today to prepare for the race, primarily on the wet tyres. We also tried the intermediates briefly but they were no faster in these conditions. The rain was constant, which allowed us to at least complete some parts of our programme. There was a lot of standing water, but it was hard to spot from the cockpit, which meant that the drivers had to be very vigilant. Today's sessions went okay and, in any case, we know that at this circuit, with its particular characteristics, rain offers us good chances and opportunities."
Nico Rosberg (4th, 1:56.567): "In general, it was a good and productive day for us. We improved the set-up during the break which helped as we were quicker in the afternoon. It's very unusual that the weather forecast for the whole weekend is wet, and we didn't run that much to save our limited wet tyres. The conditions were really quite tricky out there with all the puddles, and it was very difficult to find the right limit. I hope we can continue to make progress tomorrow."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "A very British 'summer' day here at Silverstone, and we must say a big thank you to the fans who have braved the unpleasant conditions to be here for their fantastic support today. In such poor track conditions, often we won't persevere with trying to achieve much running, but it was important for us to find a good balance and set-up on the wet tyres today as these conditions are expected to remain for the weekend. From that perspective it was a reasonable day, and the cars seem to be well-balanced. We'll see what tomorrow brings."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "First of all I have to say that the heroes of today were the spectators. It was impressive to see them sitting out there in the pouring rain and lots of them cheering instead of letting the weather get them down. Especially because it was quite a challenge for everybody to reach the circuit after huge traffic jams this morning - this was like Silverstone in the good old days! On track, we did not see a lot of running in the wet conditions. Some aquaplaning accidents showed how treacherous the conditions were so it was a very good job from Michael and Nico to bring their cars back in one piece after the sessions. Performance-wise it is difficult to judge our level of competitiveness after barely 20 laps for both cars during the two sessions in changing conditions. Our lap times did not look too bad, so it was a positive result on a difficult Friday, which most likely will not be followed by better conditions tomorrow or on Sunday. But that's Silverstone, just the way we all know it."
Kimi Raikkonen (8th, 1:58.897): "It was wet. It's a shame we don't have more wet tyres to be able to get more track time, but if it's going to rain for the whole weekend then everybody tries to save their allocation. We were able to test certain things so it wasn't a total waste of time. It was interesting to see the new section of the track; it's only a few corners so it doesn't make too much difference to a lap. Hopefully tomorrow the weather will be a bit better. Even if it is wet again, everyone will go out in practice and in qualifying so we should see a drier line emerge. When there are only a couple of cars running this doesn't happen and there's much more chance of aquaplaning, but with everyone out there it should be much better."
Romain Grosjean (21st, No Time): "It wasn't the busiest day ever due to the weather conditions but still FP1 went well. The car looks to be good and consistent. We tested a few new aero parts which have worked pretty well. I also learnt that the old part of the circuit has a bit more grip than the new part. At the end of FP1 this morning it was incredibly wet and the same conditions at the start of FP2 so we had to wait and be patient. I would have liked to have more track time but due to the regulations on tyres we didn't want to use up all our wet tyre allocation as more rain is expected on Saturday and Sunday. We looked at putting inters on but it wasn't dry enough so we couldn't really do many laps this afternoon. The conditions were a shame for the fans out there who came to watch us today, but we always appreciate their support."
James Allison, Technical Director: "It's never too much fun in conditions like we saw today as it is always a big dilemma about whether to risk the car to learn about what it is like to run in the conditions. We haven't done a lot of wet weather running this year so it was useful for us to establish that the car behaves well in these conditions, especially as it may well be wet in the race. We were able to validate that all the wings are doing what they are supposed to do, even when the car is wet, and we did that with both drivers. Our pace in the morning showed that we don't have any problems in these conditions. We were also able to conduct some pit stop practices which went well. Tomorrow and qualifying should be interesting."
Force India-Mercedes
Nico Hulkenberg (9th, 1:58.943): "A very limited programme today to avoid running on such a wet track with a high risk of aquaplaning. The only time we felt we could learn anything was in the final half hour of the afternoon session so we remained in the garage for most of the day. The forecast for the rest of the weekend looks very mixed so I think we have a challenging weekend ahead of us."
Paul di Resta (11th, 1:59.429): "Very difficult conditions today, but sometimes you get weather like this. So we had to be patient and choose our moments because the track conditions were so poor with lots of rivers running across the circuit. We didn't really change the car all day, so we will start with the same set-up tomorrow morning. I certainly feel for the fans who missed out on seeing much action today, but it was great to see so many people come along on a Friday."
Jules Bianchi: "It's a shame about the weather today. I only did the install lap and that was it. The conditions were so wet that there was no value in doing more laps and there was very little we could learn."
Jakob Andreasen, Chief Engineer: "A frustrating day for all the teams due to the wet weather, which kept us in the garage for most of the day. It's a shame for the fans, who turned out in huge numbers, but with the high risk of aquaplaning it was sensible not to take any risks until we felt the conditions allowed us to do meaningful running. We ran on the wet tyres with Jules, Paul and Nico, and did one run on the intermediates with Paul. There were some aero developments on the car today, but it was very difficult to learn much in such tricky conditions."
Kamui Kobayashi (2nd, 1:56.474): "In wet conditions our car is quite okay, but it is difficult if not impossible to guess how it would be on a dry track here. However, the conditions are the same for everybody, so we can't complain about that. Obviously we couldn't evaluate the new parts as we had planned. In the end I took a set of intermediate tyres, but only to get a feeling for them. It was definitely too wet for them. Generally the circuit tends to develop little rivers here and there, and even on the straights you have to be very careful not to lose the car by aquaplaning. It seems we will be having a wet weekend and this might not be the worst thing for us."
Sergio Perez (5th, 1:57.493): "I found the day very boring. There wasn't much we could do and it was impossible to complete our test programme. However, we did some running on the wet track and our car seems to be good in these conditions."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, Head of Track Engineering: "This is not the Friday we were hoping for definitely from the weather side, although the forecast proved reliable! We had to adapt our programme a little bit. Nevertheless we decided to run because it looks like the weekend is going to be pretty unsettled, so it is good to prepare for qualifying and racing in these conditions. The cars were okay, with no major problems, and we are quite happy so far. The biggest challenge from now on is what the weather will do. For the weekend we have three sets of full wet tyres per car. We used one of those today, but the lack of running was not related to the tyres themselves as in these conditions they do not deteriorate. The biggest problem was at some points it was not safe to stay on the track because there was just too much water."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jean-Eric Vergne (14th, 1:59.854): "Today's practice was useful for us to get used to the very wet conditions and what direction we should be going in with the car in terms of set-up for what looks like being a very wet weekend. The times mean nothing, because the conditions were changing a lot and on my final run, the rain intensified. We had wanted to do more on the Intermediates, but the track surface was never dry enough to use them. There was not much we could in terms of improving the car, although we did make some set up changes over the course of the two sessions, even if it is hard to evaluate as the water level on the circuit was always different. The rain certainly makes the performance more even through the field, so I am expecting to have a more competitive time than in recent races."
Daniel Ricciardo (22nd, No Time): "It looks as though the rain is going to continue for much of the weekend, so today's running was valuable, even if this afternoon, it was too wet to do many laps. The morning session went quite well, running only on the Extreme tyre and that gave me the confidence in the car in these conditions to feel good about tomorrow. We also did a little bit of set-up work but we did not change much, because, in these conditions most of the time comes from yourself. In the afternoon, we did fit Intermediates, but only for a couple of "in" and "out" laps. The rain definitely evens out the performance gaps between the cars, so I'd be happy to have the rest of the weekend run in the wet."
Laurent Mekies, Chief Engineer: "We are facing a completely wet race weekend, so today it was important to get a feel for the car in these conditions. There was also a strategic element to take into account, as we were obviously thinking of saving the Extreme rain tyres in case they are required for qualifying and the race, because each driver is only allocated three sets of these per weekend. Therefore it's a trade off between doing some proper work on the car and saving the tyres. Whatever happens, the next two days should be a great show for the fans who have packed the grandstands despite the bad weather, as we have seen how hard it is to keep the cars on track at this high speed circuit and in these conditions. We only had a few laps to get a picture of how the car is performing and what to do to make it faster. We ran most of the day with the Extreme tyre on both cars and all we did with the Intermediates was a couple of launches."
Pastor Maldonado (12th, 1:59.472): "We didn't get chance to do a lot of running today but everybody is in the same situation. We didn't try too many things with the set-up today but we used the time to see how the track conditions were. There was a lot of aquaplaning, but the car feels quite good despite not getting the chance to run on a wet set-up. If it's like this all weekend, we'll just need to make some decisions tomorrow ahead of qualifying."
Bruno Senna (17th, 2:01.099): "Unfortunately we didn't have a very productive day in the end. The weather was poor weather with puddles on the track during second practice. On my second run, I aquaplaned on some deep water at the high speed Becketts section of the track and from that point was I a passenger until the car hit the wall. It was quite a heavy accident but I am ok. There is a lot of damage to the car but the Williams team will, I'm sure, do a great job of getting it back into shape for tomorrow."
Valtteri Bottas: "It was really wet this morning with a lot of water running across the track, meaning that the tyres were aquaplaning a little bit. The conditions were not easy but I think it was good overall. We got a little bit of direction with the car balance as it is looking like there will be rain all weekend. We made the most of the chance we had today by doing a few flying laps, but the weather was just getting worse."
Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: "Unfortunately for everyone, and especially the spectators, the weather conditions were very poor today with constant rain throughout both sessions. As the forecast predicts both a wet qualifying and race we decided to run more than we would typically do in these challenging conditions in order to set the car up and get the drivers' feedback ahead of the weekend. In FP2 Bruno aquaplaned off the circuit on full wet tyres damaging the front and rear wings and suspension. The mechanics are now busy rebuilding the car and we'll be ready for FP3."
Heikki Kovalainen (7th, 1:58.580): "I think that's the wettest day we've had in F1 for quite a while and that cut short the amount of running we could do today. It was pretty treacherous out there in both sessions, more so in the afternoon when I was getting wheelspin at the end of the straight and when it's like that it's not worth risking the car, particularly when we have quite a lot of new parts on it that we need to take a look at as much as we can this weekend. As it was so wet I can't really say how much of an improvement we've made here, but this morning the car felt pretty well balanced as soon as I started to push a bit, so if it's raining like this on Sunday at least we know we have a decent setup to race with."
Vitaly Petrov (18th, 2:01.348): "This morning Heikki and I were running comparisons between the new exhaust layout and rear bodywork so my first taste of the new parts was in FP2 when it was even slippier out on track. Even with conditions like that we still got through a few laps and the car felt good - pretty stable, good traction and a good base for us to work from tomorrow. It would be good for everyone if it is more dry tomorrow but even if it's not we'll just have to get on with it. I like the rain so for me it's not a problem."
Mark Smith, Technical Director: "It is obviously a shame for the fans and the teams alike that we had such limited running today, but the conditions were so bad in both sessions that the risk of accidents was too high for us to run any more than we did today. Despite that we were able to complete a number of useful tests this morning, running comparisons between the new upgrades we have brought here with the package we raced in Valencia. That gives us a relatively decent amount of data to go through to understand what sort of gains we have made, but the initial numbers are encouraging."
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "Silverstone is a power circuit, one where the drivers should spend up to 64% of the lap on full throttle in qualifying. Obviously the weather conditions today meant that the challenges for us on the engine side change, and we have to work very closely with the team's engineers to decide what gear ratios will give us maximum performance in what could be a dry qualifying session, but a wet race. Today we have also been working with the team on optimising engine performance with the updates that have been brought to this race. The main area of focus for us is the revised exhausts, a version of which were first tried at the test in Mugello but which have been revised and refined since that test and require a series of new engine maps that help the driver optimise all the performance characteristics of the engine around this circuit. The immediate feedback we have had from both drivers is positive so, despite the weather today, this has been another good day for us and the whole team."
Narain Karthikeyan (20th, 2:04.774): "Today we faced typical English weather; it was a complete wash out and, as a result, we didn't complete any meaningful running. The new part of the track, which is made up of turns 1 to 5, is new to me because I didn't race here last year so we need to make sure that we get some running in before qualifying. Hopefully tomorrow we'll have the chance to do these miles to head into qualifying better prepared, where I'll be aiming to back up my good performance in Valencia."
Pedro de la Rosa (24th, No Time): "This morning we ran in wet conditions and tested everything we wanted to do, so in the second session we didn't feel the need to take a risk since the conditions weren't the best and, besides, we've only got three sets of extreme wet tyres for the entire weekend. That's why we decided not to come out. Ahead of tomorrow's qualifying, if we face the same conditions, the important thing is to complete a clean lap, with no traffic, and not much water on track. Today we acclimatised to Silverstone in wet conditions and that was the objective."
Dani Clos: "I'm very happy to have driven the F112 again and because we completed a good session despite the rain. We drew some positive conclusions and, personally, I enjoyed it inside the car. The most important thing is that I've continued to rack up some miles in a Formula 1 car and did so in different conditions. I improved with every lap, whilst the track got worst. The team did a great job and I'm very satisfied."
Luis Perez-Sala, Team Principal: "It's been a complicated day because the track was very wet and, for us it was not easy at all because we really suffer in these conditions. Dani got into the car for the second time and did a good job. Narain also did a good job in the afternoon as he returned to his car and felt comfortable immediately at a track where he didn't race last year. Pedro didn't run in the afternoon but his laps in the morning were enough for what they wanted to test on the car so we could say it was mission accomplished and now we must think about tomorrow."
Timo Glock (16th, 2:00.820): "It has been a bit of an unusual Friday for everyone today due to the weather conditions. The day started very wet, so we didn't get much running in FP1. It rained again during FP2 but we squeezed a longer run in towards the end when it stopped. However, it was very difficult to drive with the track condition and there was a lot of aquaplaning. I think we still have a bit of pace to find in the wet and tomorrow is likely to be quite unpredictable, so it will be difficult to find the right set-up choice."
Charles Pic (19th, 2:03.719): "It was a slightly frustrating day in respect of the fact that it was very important to get some engine calibration runs with the new exhaust system. These are normally things we can work through quite quickly but in today's conditions it was much harder to do all the required runs. This information is crucial for the rest of the weekend though. It was good at the end of FP2 to get a run on the Extreme Wet tyre, which I haven't had much experience of all year, so this will help us prepare for the rest of the weekend with the weather we are likely to get."
John Booth, Team Principal: "Coming into the weekend with both cars carrying the full upgrade package, we were obviously looking for dry weather to allow us to optimise the set-up to the new aero developments. The weather has made it difficult to get any meaningful comparison data and because of the wet weather we have also had to be quite prudent with the number of laps we attempted. Both drivers have done an excellent job in difficult circumstances, as have the team, and the day was approached with their usual display of calm professionalism. It is obviously very difficult to judge the full potential of the upgrade, however the early signs are that we do not appear to have any reliability or performance issues."

The prototype Lancia Triflux engine was built by Abarth for rallying. The prototype Johnny 5 sentient robot was built for use by the U.S. military in the 1986 movie Short Circuit. What a resemblance these two unrelated pieces of machinery share.
There they are, splay-armed brothers of another engineer-mother. The Triflux is a 600-hp, 16v, 1,759 cc twin-turbocharged version of the venerable Aurelio Lampredi-designed Fiat twin-cam to power the Lancia ECV2. That's the canceled successor to the Delta S4 in Group S rallying (the proposed replacement to Group B that never happened). Johnny 5 is a "Strategic Artificially Intelligent Nuclear Transport" capable of speech and self-perpetuation (he builds a copy of himself to fool the bad guys). And yet, could two entirely unrelated pieces of machinery look any more alike?
Coincidentally, the Lancia ECV and Short Circuit both debuted in 1986. Not coincidentally, the Triflux was named after its novel three-intake design, while Johnny 5 named himself after the El Debarge song, "Who's Johnny."
Reunited, and it feels so good.

It's easy to moan and groan about a lack of available IT talent. It's another matter to actually do something about it, especially when the reward is unguaranteed and requires a healthy supply of patience.
The task can be even tougher when you're located in an area that's not necessarily known as a technology hotbed (even if that perception is off target). Yet when we spoke with a couple of companies in the Chicago area recently about how they recruit and retain IT pros, there was a common denominator: They invest in their community.
"Invest in the community" sounds like a lot of well-intentioned hot air, doesn't it? But if you dig a little, you'll find real work done -- and dollars spent -- to improve STEM education, professional development, career opportunities, and related areas. It's particularly compelling given that the return on investment is a long-term proposition at best; the tech industry, and especially the startup world, has a bit of a now-NOW-NOW! mentality that doesn't favor such thinking.
[To attract and retain tech talent, these Chicago firms got creative. Read IT Jobs: Hiring Strategies For Sweet Home, Chicago.]
"We get really connected into the community here," says Chris Jenkins, HR director at e-discovery software firm kCura. Among its current and recent initiatives: kCura will host Chicago's instance of the upcoming National Day of Civic Hacking; kCura employees can give $2,500 "geek grants" to organizations or schools to improve educational programs or provide children with access to technology; the company hosted 75 technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship students as part of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's ThinkChicago event; and kCura works with YearUp, a one-year program that connects low-income adults with area firms for internships -- a former intern is now a full-time employee.
And that's an incomplete list.
Zest Health, a mobile health startup, also spends a lot of time working on improving the local technology and entrepreneurship scene, aligning with area universities, startup incubators, and other programs to encourage talent development and innovation. It will hire four Metcalf interns from the University of Chicago this summer, for example. It also plans to increase its involvement with Future Founders, a youth entrepreneurship program for low-income children in the Chicago area, according to VP of product Jonathan Ozeran.
There's no short-term reward for such efforts, other than perhaps some PR and the satisfaction of doing good. A narrower organizational mindset would focus on strictly today's bottom line, next quarter's earnings, the next funding round -- that now-NOW-NOW! mindset most IT pros have probably witnessed (or been guilty of themselves) at some point in their careers. But that kind of tunnel vision fails to address real questions, such as: Where are the next generations of talent going to come from? Why don't more people and organizations stay in their local communities instead of flocking to Silicon Valley or New York? And so on.
Here are a few key takeaways from kCura, Zest Health, and other firms on how to better invest in your local tech community:
Empower employees to make the investment decisions. Investing in local talent and local communities becomes more powerful when employees get hands-on -- it's less effective when the CEO simply hands over a fat check to her personal pet cause. Recipients of kCura's Geek Grants, for example, are discovered and championed by individual employees -- not just by a select few in the C suite.
Reinvest in areas that enabled your company's success. You've heard the expression "pay it forward," right? For startups especially, consider what elements of the local community have fostered your success and reinvest in them. Big data storage firm Cleversafe, for example, spent its first three years on the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology. It has since graduated to its own offices in the heart of Chicago, with another location in Denver, but the company stays involved with IIT and other

On one hand, the end of the episode was disturbing for me as it shows Ko disappearing with Ohana crying. On the other hand, its still Ko who she writes to if she needs to get something off her chest, and the preview has her desperately shouting at him asking for help. What to think... XD
And shoo Toru, just be happy with Minchi lol. I knew you were trouble from episode one.

xDD Its so obvious Tooru has fallen for Ohana. And the porridge scene, GOLD. xDD I was laughing so hard all through it. Oh Tooru, you are such a fool when in love. xD
And the ending scene with Ohana and Ko...foreshadowing that she's chosen Kissuiso over him? O:

Yes, I think that's what it's saying. Between choosing Ko and everyone at Kissuiso or Kissuiso itself, she would now choose Kissuiso.
Well, we got trolled since the very beginning. Tooru is definitely falling badly for Ohana fast, though. He got flustered all over the place when he went to visit her, and when he heard she collapsed he was the one that shouted in concern, which Minko noticed throughout the whole episode already that he likes Ohana and is getting extremely jelly. FABULOUS. <3 Tooru and Ohana are just too cute. I love how he was the first one that was extremely serious and concerned about her and immediately started planning what to cook for her.
Not sure what to make of next week's preview, but it ends with Ohana shouting at Ko to help her. I think it'll be a flashback episode about her life before the start of the series when she moves to Kissuiso. It would be a bit boring, imo.
This episode actually confused me though. Like the whole change of the scenes without knowing what's going on, and the dreams she had as well as Minko's. And the shrine girl, what's up with her? Hope we'll know soon in the future. Those small little things sometimes get to bother me.

And this episode was supposed to be godly...? Huh?
Pretty much a meh episode with a few weird scene transitions, namely, Ohana suddenly walking around, and into the kitchen then switching back to her, and the dreams etc.
Looks like there will be discussion on a few things, namely, the symbolism of the girl and the fox, and Kou-chan's continued role in this, and of course, Tohru's outright blushing at Ohana (those lips were gorgeous though.)

Spoiler for ep:
This episode was hyped up before it got aired, now I felt I had been trolled majorly. It did not foreshadow any new major conflicts ahead nor has any of the old conflicts (romance, Ohana's relationship with her mom) moved forward or been resolved. This is still a charming episode, but the hype is way overblown.

lol revive, I'm sorry. I was just impatient. xD;;
Next episode seems like it´ll be a flashback. And Ohana finally over Ko? O: Makes me wonder. Though that ending scene with her and Ko really forshadowed her going farther and farther away from him.
And Minko has realized that Tooru is "goo goo ga ga" over Ohana. I did kind of feel a bit bad for her, but alas, heartbreaks happen. xD;;

Er... Nothing happened this episode?
So I guess the "godly" part Mishida Kel was referring to was just the animation. It was indeed very pretty. However, this episode felt like a typical episode from Aria more than anything. It was peaceful, soothing, lighthearted but nothing over-the-top, but there wasn't anything outstanding that happened apart from:
Spoiler for Regarding Tooru x Ohana:
Was expecting some drama given last week's preview, but it turned out to be a bait and switch. Sigh.

What a strange episode.
I mean, I liked it a lot. The direction of the episode in particular was pretty great, the artwork was (as usual) excellent, and as acejem pointed out this was very Aria like in mood, so I felt pretty relaxed watching it. It's the second episode I liked this week along with AnoHana and rated with 10, so overall I was pretty satisfied after last week where I was at a loss for words with episode 9.
But damn if that wasn't weird. What unfolded here was arguably pretty ... surreal? Yeah, I think it was pretty surreal overall. Really loved it, but this is the second time in a row that Iroha had left me feeling strange.
Must dig deeper apparently.

When I began this challenge, I was extremely unsure of my choice. As someone who enjoys fashion and shopping and changing up my "look" everyday, could I really survive an entire year without new clothes? "Surely, this is a bad idea," I feared. But I knew that I believed in the philosophy that you don't need to spend a lot of money to look stylish, so I carried on.
Everyday as I looked in my closet, I pushed myself to see things in a different light and keep my outfits interesting and stylish. At times, it was a challenge to overcome the societal pressure we all feel to give into fashion trends (polka-dots, neon, colored denim.. I wanted all of it) but I found that once I focused on what I do have, I didn't feel so left out. Slowly, I started to feel more and more comfortable wearing similar outfits day after day. I realized that it's okay (and really cool) to have a "signature look" (mine is jeans, a v-neck t-shirt and a scarf). I also learned that if you haven't worn something for a year, you probably won't wear it ever again, even if you're on a shopping fast. Things that started the year in the back of my closet are still there.
And the thing that surprised me most about this year-long shopping fast....
I felt more freedom in all aspects of my life. I never realized before how much of my mental capacity was used up thinking about clothes and future purchases. From online shopping to actual shopping to staring at pictures of fashionable girls in magazines or blogs, there are so many opportunities for women to think about fashion and compare themselves to other women. Once I eliminated the possibility of buying new clothes, my brain automatically expanded its capacity to think and talk about more important and practical matters like social issues, future goals, or building relationships with loved ones.
Now, that is a gift I am truly thankful for.
I've put together a visual summary of all my outfit posts throughout the year. Click on each photo below to see the original post.

Sticky test for solar cellsParis, )
The testing - taking place at the Materials and Electrical Components Laboratories in ESA's technical centre ESTEC, based in Noordwijk, the Netherlands - involved long-duration space simulations lasting for upwards of 10 000 hours to guarantee the reliable operation of solar cells.
Solar power is the lifeblood of satellites, but the solar cells relied on to produce it need protection from the harsh space environment.
To minimise the harmful effects of unfiltered sunlight and charged particles, all solar cells are covered by cover glass, typically just 0.1 mm thick. If a bare cell was exposed to the space environment it would degrade as much within a few days as a protected cell does in 15 years.
But the adhesive keeping cover glass and solar cell together must in turn perform well. For this testing, samples of the adhesive have been sandwiched between two layers of glass, which radiation penetrates through during the long-running simulation.
Any darkening observed is a measure of degradation which equals a loss of light transmission, resulting in turn in a reduced power output.
Testing for making
ESA's Materials and Components Laboratories performs tests concerning a question of central importance to the European space industry: what are the best materials and techniques with which to manufacture spacecraft?
Made up of around 15 separate experimental facilities overall, the Laboratories perform their space-focused testing and analysis applying an unrivalled combination of expert knowledge and specialised equipment.

Reminded of the hills of his ancestral homeland in Scotland's Blair-Athol region, John Murray, an early proprietor of the land, named the town, Athol, Massachusetts, when it was incorporated in 1762. In the early nineteenth century, the town grew up around its water-powered mills lining the Miller's River. Industries expanded upon the arrival of the railroad in the 1840s, which enabled mill owners to cheaply send their products to larger markets. Later a railroad line connected Athol to Springfield, making Athol a regionally important tool-making center. The creation of the Quabbin reservoir in the twentieth century, however, disrupted the direct route to Springfield, and later, Route 2 bypassed the village, which further diminished the town's ability to easily transport its products. This along with the larger trend of industry becoming centralized in urban areas contributed to Athol's industrial and population decline.

Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano gained a lot of notice this season by bucking NFL conventions and having his defense charge the line when the Giants were kneeling down on the last play of a 41-34 win.
Seeing as how Schiano didn't let that circumstance stop him from having his players go full speed, it's no surprise that he isn't using playoff elimination as an excuse to start resting members of his team for the final two weeks. Schiano was asked if running back Doug Martin's workload would shrink as a result of the Buccaneers' spot in the standings and the answer was an emphatic no.
"One of the things we talked about when we arrived here was establishing a new culture. Although we've made strides, we're not anywhere close to where we need to be. And I think Doug Martin is part of establishing that new culture," Schiano said, via Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times. "I think it would be not a good time in our program's development to say, 'Hey, Doug, why don't you go cool off here. I don't think that's where we are as a program. If it was a different set of circumstances, that might be very true. If he was on a veteran-laden team that, for whatever reason, didn't make it to the playoffs this year and had been in it for the last five or six years, we might want to rest him. But that's not the case."
Martin is on pace for 312 carries this season, which would be good for the fourth-most in the history of the franchise. While it would be understandable if the Bucs chose to scale things back, Martin's got plenty of time before the start of next season and it's not like there's someone younger or less experienced than the 2012 first-round pick that the team wants to take a look at for next season.
If Schiano really wants to create that culture, he can't do it halfway. Playing Martin and everyone else until the final whistle of the final game is the only way to do that.

It occurs to me with a booster preps now available there's no longer any reason to prep fewer glyphs. Humans get 200 CP worth of attack bonus, which outweighs your best-case gains from fewer glyphs. Orcs get a nice synergy out of extra attack boosts and will very rarely even consider anything else. Dwarves and elves get 160 CP and 140 CP respectively, which is pretty near their best-case scenario (plus dwarves desperately need any source of attack bonus, so I cannot imagine picking anything else as a dwarf now). Goblins, Halflings, and Gnomes all desperately need stat boosts to complement their conversion benefits so I can't imagine taking anything other than a booster prep for them.
It seems that these booster preps have edged fewer glyphs right out of viability.

Harris to lead Productivity Commission
THE government will appoint Peter Harris, the public servant overseeing the $37 billion national broadband network and communications policy, as the next chairman of the Productivity Commission.
Mr Harris, who is now Secretary of the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, will take up the position early next year after approval by federal cabinet on Monday night.
One of the key tasks set to face Mr Harris if the Coalition wins government will be a cost benefit analysis of the national broadband network - a project in which he has played a central role.
The Coalition has pledged to subject the project to a rigorous analysis by the commission, which is independent from government.
As well as being responsible for communications policies, including the landmark move to separate Telstra's retail and wholesale arms, Mr Harris also worked on competition reforms in the rail and aviation industries during his career.
After joining the public service as an economist in 1976, he has also worked as a consultant to the Ansett-Air New Zealand aviation group.
Treasurer Wayne Swan said Mr Harris' background put him in a prime position to advance reforms to make the economy more productive and resilient.
''Mr Harris' experience across a wide range of issues within public and private sector organisations - particularly his experience in the reforms of Australia's ports, aviation, rail and telecommunication sectors - equips him well to lead the Productivity Commission,'' Mr Swan said.
The chief executive of the Business Council of Australia, Jennifer Westacott, said Mr Harris would bring a wealth of experience to the job, citing his involvement in competition reforms in the 1990s.
''Australian businesses recognise the importance of flexible and open markets across the economy - including for ports, road and rail and other vital areas of infrastructure,'' Ms Westacott said.
The appointment of Mr Harris came as a surprise to some observers.
Other people who had been linked to the position included the Secretary of the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Don Russell, and the deputy chairman of the commission, Mike Woods.

Robust Power Output, Superior Audio Quality, and Efficient Operation.
Product Code: YAP5000S
Manufacturer: Yamaha
Call for price
Call for availability
Yamaha's audio engineers have specifically designed the new P-S Series power amplifiers to be perfect companions to the popular Club Series loudspeakers. To achieve this, they made sure that the amplifiers are capable of delivering power that matches the power handling capabilities of the Club Series Speakers, and equipped them with YS Processing (Yamaha Speaker Processing) to deliver a signal that will result in optimum system performance.
Power is plentiful, ranging from 3200 watts from the P7000S to 1300 watts from the P2500S in 4 ohms bridged mode. If you want the perfect power amplifier for pair of Club S115s with a 500-watt program rating, for example, the P5000S with 500-watts per channel into 8 ohms is the obvious choice.
Further matching precision is afforded by Yamaha's proprietary YS Processing circuit. Each P-S series amplifier is equipped with this specially designed circuit so that it delivers output tailored to the specific response of the Club Series speakers. All models feature both XLR and 1/4-inch TRS inputs, and Neutrik Speakon, phone plug, and 5-way binding post outputs. Other features include Yamaha's exclusive EEEngine technology for high performance with exceptional efficiency, sweepable high and low pass filters for matching output to any loudspeakers, a compact and durable 2U chassis, and variable speed cooling fans.
Trade and educational pricing is available on all Yamaha products. For more information contact a member of the AC Audio sales team.
The new P-Series Power Amplifiers deliver solid, professional-quality power in a wide range of configurations designed to suit a variety of applications. In 4 ohmas bridged mode the P7000S delivers 3200 watts, the P5000S 2600 watts, the P3500S 2000 watts, and the P2500S 1300 watts.
Those on a budget will find the lineup's high power output and affordable prices offer superior quality without putting a strain on allotted funds. Further savings are realized with extremely efficient operation utilizing Yamaha's exclusive EEEngine technology, which keeps operational costs down by significantly reducing AC power consumption and heat generation.
The new P-Series Power Amplifiers can be used with any loudspeaker system, but if you're using our Club Series speakers they will provide optimum power and performance. In an 8O stereo application, power output per P7000S channel is 700 watts (650 watts on the 230V model), the P5000S puts out 500 watts per channel, the P3500S delivers 350 watts per channel, and the P2500S outputs 250 watts per channel. This wide selection lets you choose the amplifier that best matches the power handling capabilities of your speaker system.
All four models are equipped with independent sweepable high-pass and low-pass filters on each channel so you can optimize output for subwoofer or full range systems.
Look at the specifications and you'll notice that the P2500S and P3500S are surprisingly light in weight, making transport and setup less of a chore. What is really impressive, however, is the difference in weight per watt when you look at the P5000S and P7000S. The use of an advanced switching power supply makes these two models very lightweight while maintaining superior audio quality.
To provide the most versatile connectivity possible, all four models are equipped with Neutrik Speakon* output jacks and 1/4-inch output jacks for each channel, in addition to 5-way binding post. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch TRS jacks are provided for channel input.
* Speakon is a registered trademark of Neutrik AG.
EEEngine (Energy Efficient Engine) Technology makes more efficient use of AC power by reducing power consumption and heat generation without sacrificing output power or sound quality. When power requirements are low, the system uses a highly efficient current buffer to transparently switch input power on and off as needed. As power requirements increase, an independently responding auxiliary power line supplies additional power as required. Output isn't compromised because the auxiliary power line is driven by the power supply voltage which maintains maximum output to the speaker load.
YS Processing (Yamaha Speaker Processing) achieves optimum matching with our popular Club Series loudspeaker systems. This special circuit optimizes output from the power amplifier to match the characteristics of Club Series speaker systems, resulting in extra-smooth highs and enhanced lows.
