a sleek new look to good SOUND
By jdriver
from Amarillo Texas
About Me Technically Challenged
out of the box set up was easy even for me and adding to it is very simple and self explanatory
Just What was Expected
By TattooLeather
from Rocky Mount, North Carolina USA
Very easy to unpack, set up and install even in home made wood cabinets. This was installed into a black walnut dry sink with speakers on both sides of cabinet, and the Yamaha CD s300 cd player was added to it. Gives a great sound to an 18th century English dining room. No one knows where the music flows from behind the closed doors! Perfect size, and the control design are easy to use for people with neuropathy. Power output is excellent, and being able to save as many station settings is a positive plus! I bought this after studying other models and made the right choice.

well designed and built
By jrj
from Kettering Ohio
About Me Audiophile, Tech Savvy
From the "record out selector" to the many analog inputs (including phono) this receiver is the perfect match of design and build quality. Yes, the digital display only turns off with the "pure direct" switch turned on...not a big deal. Yamaha has remained a great source of quality audio gear and the RS 500 reflects that.
clean sound-good value
By geedee
from murfreesboro, Tn.
About Me Audiophile, Practical, Technically Challenged
This is a great choice in a small field of 2 channel receivers. Sound is very clean, no background noise whatsoever. An excellent value. Seems to be well made.
Great tuner/amp
By Paul
from Spokane, WA
This is to replace my beloved Sansui 800 circa 1969. I thought I would lose some of the analog "warmth" to which I was accustomed, but no. Excellent sound with a mix of old Marantz and new Polk speakers.
Love it!
By Yamaha fan
from ringwood, ok
I love it! Call me old school but this is how music should sound! I have floor speakers (Pioneer 12" woofer 4 way) This amp makes those speakers sound better than ever. I was planning on new speakers after another pay check but no need!
Awesome replacement
By The music Kid
from Middletown, CT
About Me Audiophile, Practical
I purchased the R-S500 to replace my 30 year old Yamaha receiver that finally died. It was easy to set up and I found the iPod connection easy to make and easy to control.

Fine piece of equipment

About Me Audiophile, Practical, Tech Savvy
This unit is powering a pair of Sony 200W speaker towers. I use it as a old style stereo. 1 pair of speakers and no sub anything.The clarity even at highest vol. is amazing!When I first got it going I wa splaying with it and kept cranking the vol. up. To my suprise it only seemed to get so loud and then level off. Found out how wrong I was when I went outside and the music was still CLEAR.Overall I would definately reccomend to anyone.

Locked, darkened rooms filled with mysterious antiquities and unopened crates whose securely sealed contents would surely seize the imagination of visitors, but for untold reasons remain hidden.
The Berman Museum of World History has such a vault, the content of which has rarely, if ever, been seen by the public … until now.
Beginning Saturday, the Berman Museum premiers "Out of the Vault: Selections from The Illustrated History of Weaponry" in the Changing Exhibits Gallery. These artifacts, running the gamut from primitive flint weapons to modern guns, come from the museum's own collection.
"It just made sense to show what we've already got," explained Kevin Jenné, who's curating the weapons exhibit. "Weaponry can be a touchy subject for some people, but it's also rich in history. People are going to be blown away by what they see here."
The goal, using weapons featured in Chuck Willis' book The Illustrated History of Weaponry, is to demonstrate the steady evolution of weapons from those primitive tools of survival through the more personalized — and in their own right, beautiful — weapons carried for protection by both men and women.
"The exhibit travels through various points in time when weapons were just like your cell phone or car keys are now," Jenné said. "It was something you had on you at all times. It became a personalized item and in some ways, it also became a true work of art."
Of the numerous weapons that will be on display, Jenné is particularly impressed by the Nock Volley Gun, which had seven barrels that fired simultaneously and was used by the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars.
"You're talking about recoil that's probably five times that of a .12-gauge shotgun," Jenné said. "That could dislocate or even break someone's shoulder. It took a real manly man to fire that one."
But men aren't the sole target audience for this exhibit. Women carried weapons, too. As part of the "Out of the Vault" showing, the Berman will be hosting, "Girls Night Out: Girl Power" Thursday, March 22, 6-8 p.m., where women — 21 years old and older — will be taught self-defense from Anniston City Police officers, and view various women-friendly defense and sporting weapons — all before testing their aim with paintball guns on the museum lawn. Participants will also view historic weapons made specifically for women.
"We wanted to hit a different population from what the Berman normally sees," said program director Gina Morey. "And letting them know that when it comes to the history of weapons and how they were used, women were just as important as men."
As part of the exhibit, the Berman entered into a partnership with Shotgun Sports Supply Company, which will be displaying a Gun of the Month at its Anniston store. This month's gun is the Howdah pistol, which was used to ward off large predators, such as tigers, as British officials and officers traveled through India during their reign of the country during late 19th and early 20th centuries.
"There are a lot of people that are into the gun culture who might think the museum is more of an elite thing," Jenné said. "It's a fabulous museum, but it's not a stiff, tie-wearing atmosphere, so maybe this will bring in a new crowd that wouldn't normally go to a museum."

As the leading supplier of aluminum solutions to the world's aerospace industry, Alcoa has continuously enhanced and broadened its product portfolio in meeting customers' needs and helping them explore new frontiers since the dawn of aviation.
The company's aerospace operations are comprised of businesses with operations around the world that generate approximately $3 billion in annual revenues and leading share positions in their chosen markets: Alcoa Flat Rolled Products, Alcoa Forgings and Extrusions, Alcoa Fastening Systems Aerospace, and Alcoa Power and Propulsion.
Almost all aluminum aerospace alloys currently in use were originally developed by Alcoa, and today's major new aircraft programs incorporate Alcoa's product innovations from nose to tail, and wingtip to wingtip.
Alcoa created highly engineered forgings to reduce weight and cost on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter and developed the largest aerospace forgings, fuselage panels and wing skins ever produced for the 525-seat Airbus A380 jetliner. The Boeing 787 uses the first application of large aluminum-lithium plate on a commercial aircraft – developed and supplied by Alcoa – while more than one million of its fasteners go into every A380. The company also is the world leader in single-crystal technology for advanced castings that withstand the extreme temperatures of clean-burning aero engines.
Looking to the future, Alcoa is well positioned to remain the aerospace industry's supplier of choice, with a competence that goes well beyond materials to an understanding of how materials can work together with structural and design innovations in providing optimal solutions when aircraft are built, flown, maintained – and ultimately recycled after completing their operational lifetimes.
Alcoa's commitment to innovation is backed by the full resources of the company's technical teams and the Alcoa Technical Center, which is the world's largest light metals research facility.

Comments about NATURES WAY Nature's Way® Chlorofresh Liquid Chlorophyll:
This product was recommended to me by my nutritionist/massage therapist. I originally purchased for my 10 year old son. He's at the age where he needs to start wearing deodorant and cologne, but often forgets to put on in the morning. He play hard, and sweats alot! He takes the recommended amount 1 time in the morning. So far, it really seems to be helping. I've been so surprised with how well it worked that I started to use it as well. Works great at controlling body odor internally and doesnt taste bad. We just add it to a little water or in our tea. It does stain if spilled on fabric, so it is a little messy. We will definately never be without!

Oak, Chestnut Quercus prinus
The bold aspects of the Chestnut Oak make it an attractive choice for shade tree use in large areas. Glossy, dark greenish-yellow leaves that are 4"-6" long turn an orange-yellow to yellowish-brown in the fall. Produces acorns that are a deep-toned brown and are favored by many types of wildlife. The bark of the Chestnut Oak is dark brown to black with deep ridges and is quite a handsome sight. Grows 60'-70' high with a similar, rounded spread. Prefers moist, well-drained and acidic soils and full sun.

The sudden drop in jobs added in March belies a string of recent public and private metrics that had job seekers and recruiters betting on better prospects for the unemployed.
The U.S. economy added 120,000 jobs in March, the smallest increase in five months, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. That's more than 80,000 fewer than most economists had predicted. While the unemployment rate fell to 8.2% from 8.3%, that was mainly because more people dropped out of the labor force. The numbers were hurt in part by a 34,000 decline in retail jobs.
"Obviously, this is a somewhat disappointing report, but the thing is we still see steady gains," said Betsey Stevenson, assistant professor of business and public policy at the Wharton school at the University of Pennsylvania. "We had months of great, great, great [numbers], with big falls in unemployment. That kind of pace wasn't sustainable."
The disappointing figures contrasted sharply with recent reports suggesting that the job market was finally improving. Payroll processor ADP Wednesday reported that the private sector added 209,000 workers in March, bringing the total jobs added since last year to 2 million.
Initial jobless claims have also declined and two recent surveys of chief financial officers showed increasing optimism. The Duke/CFO Magazine Global Outlook Survey, for instance, said that CFOs expect employment to rise by 2.1% this year, with the unemployment rate falling below 8%. Planned layoffs are also declining, according to Chicago-based outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas.
"This year will be a shade better than last year was in terms of job creation," said Mike Montgomery, an economist with IHS Global Insight. "Never, ever, ever overreact to a single months' job report."
Stevenson pointed out that, although the March numbers were lower than expected, previous months' figures were revised upward, not downward. "There's not enough evidence in this report to suggest that we aren't going in the right direction," she said. "The recovery is still on track."
In finance, where big firms such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have been laying off large numbers, the picture brightened. The sector gained 15,000 jobs in March, more than double the number in February, the BLS reported, with the finance unemployment rate dropping to 5.1% from 7.1% in March of last year.
Not every industry or region has been seeing improvement, however, and the long-term unemployed, or those out of work for 27 weeks or more, continue to have difficulty. The lack of confidence that comes with being out of work beyond a couple months can be particularly deadly for those seeking to re-enter the work force.
"Right now, we're sort of in the 'Goldilocks of mediocrity' zone," said Montgomery. "Things are growing, but not too fast. We're kind of in the middle."
For some, including recent graduates, job prospects are better. According to an annual survey from the National Association for Colleges and Employers, companies are hiring more college graduates this spring than they anticipated last fall. While they plan to hire fewer graduates than last year, when they were refilling recession-weary ranks, employers have posted more job openings for new grads on average than they did in 2011.
Confidence among those in the trenches has also been improving. In its quarterly Employment Confidence Survey, employer-reviews website Glassdoor.com reported that 46% of employees are optimistic about the overall outlook of their companies, the highest level reported since Glassdoor began issuing the survey in 2008. The survey also found that 36% of unemployed respondents are optimistic that they'll find a new job in the next six months, up six points from the previous quarter. Consumer confidence is also at its highest level since September 2008.
Confidence drives hiring, Montgomery said. "Sales are going up -- not overwhelmingly rapidly, but companies are realizing that they can no longer get the productivity gains to sell more with the same number of people as they could two years ago," he said.
Better Prospects
For Andrea Berkman, the market's improvement is real. A digital advertising professional who was laid off in November, Berkman recently got hired as a regional account executive with Springboard Video, a subsidiary of Evolve Media.
"There are people I know who are still looking for jobs," Berkman said. "I was looking for the right job, and I'm lucky because I found it, but it is just a function of how willing people are to bend on that wishlist of what they want to do, and how much that employer is willing to bend."
Isroel Kogan, who was laid off from his accounting job about six months ago, said that he sees a marked improvement in the hiring climate over when he was last unemployed in 2009. "There is a big difference from three years ago," Kogan said the evening before a job interview with a start-up. "I've also just gotten better at the whole process of recruiting agencies."
A deeper look at the figures, however, exposes areas of weakness. Engineering, technology and health services industries are showing the same strength they had during the recession and certain states and regions still have unemployment rates higher than the national figure.
Confidence is Important
The long-term unemployed, who represent 42.5% of unemployed persons in the U.S., continue to struggle. The average duration of unemployment fell to 39.4 weeks in March, down from a seasonally adjusted 40 weeks in February. In March of 2011, the unemployed spent an average of 39.8 weeks without a job.
While several states have proposed legislation that would make it illegal for employers to discriminate against them, reports of employers stipulating that only the "currently employed" can apply for work are frequent and are predictably discouraging for those who have been searching for an extended period.
"The work force is very damaged, and so many have been out of work so long that they've lost their confidence in themselves," said Fred Shapiro, senior employment counselor with New York City-based nonprofit Metropolitan Council. "They can't come in to interviews as a bright light, being effervescent or with confidence in themselves." For this group, however, maintaining a level of optimism is critical.
"One of the traps people fall into when they have been unemployed in the long-term is that they retreat into themselves," said Kathy Kane, senior vice president of talent management for international staffing firm Adecco. "You can get depressed about the lack of success and begin to feel like a failure."
Negativity is understandable, Kane said, but it can hurt prospects. "Companies need people who can take the bumps and bruises along the way and keep a smile on their face," she said.
Shapiro advises his unemployed or underemployed clients to try new tactics. Several of his clients have called companies they want to work for and made friends with their receptionists -- and landed $80,000-a-year jobs in recent months.
"Everybody knows that you can take 42nd street to get across town," Shapiro said, referring to the crowded and well-known New York City thoroughfare. "But only a couple of people take 43rd street -- the road less traveled -- and they get there in much less time by avoiding traffic."
Even bad markets create opportunity. "Turnover in the economy is so high that there are job openings even when on net people are losing jobs," said Montgomery. "It's not grounds for either enthusiasm or despair."

It's not just Michael Phelps who's getting very rich in Beijing. As TV advertising sales at large continue to sink, NBC has struck gold thanks to the unprecedented $894 million it paid 11 years ago for the U.S. broadcast rights to the Olympics. With one week now in the bag, the network easily shattered records in advertising revenue (more than $1 billion) and ratings (according to Nielsen, more than half of all Americans tuned in since the opening ceremonies--which itself garnered 35.7 million viewers). And last Thursday, NBC announced that another $10 million worth of commercials had been bought since Monday, with more expected on the way. "The ratings seem to validate that the Olympics has retained its universal appeal," says Gary Zenkel, president of NBC Olympics. "The Michael Phelps journey to a record eight gold medals was certainly one of the best in history and captivated our audience."
For just 30 seconds of airtime during the live, prime-time events -- think swimming, track and field, gymnastics -- NBC charges a going rate of $750,000. But companies like McDonald's, Adidas and Samsung aren't simply calculating eyeballs. With exclusive sponsorship deals that can span decades -- Coca-Cola, for example, has had a deal with the Olympics for 80 years, good through 2020 -- they're also counting all the products viewers don't see amid NBC's 3,600 total hours of coverage. In bidding for commercial space, incumbent sponsors actually get the first shot to lock out competitors, which explains why Americans haven't seen Pepsi at the Games since 1928. (One realm that doesn't apply to? Politics: both Barack Obama and John McCain each shelled out at least $5 million this week for campaign attack ads.)
The Olympics' local market isn't lost on advertisers, either. Sponsors have invested $3.2 billion globally thus far, while some American companies like UPS are focusing all their cash ($60 million) on China itself. All the attention makes individual sponsorships a particularly valuable loophole: even though Nike lost out to Adidas, for example, athletes like Yao Ming and LeBron James can still wear their preferred brand on the court, if not the podium. In the days after former Chinese gymnast Li Ning wore his own clothing line as he ascended to light the Olympic torch, for example, the company's stock reportedly rose 4%.
Ultimately, though, one harsh reality remains: the window of opportunity closes fast. "With the Olympics, the American public has the memory of a goldfish," says Ed Butowsky, a financial adviser to athletes. "Pretty soon, we'll be onto the World Series."

Kiev, Ukraine
The good thing about this hostel was its location...center of town, easy to get to from the train station and easy find. However, I found the hostel dorm cramped, dark (e.g. no individual lights and the overhead light was very dim) and had a shortage of plugs. Two of the staff were lovely, but the other two I found quite surly.

Apparently the WBC may be at it again:
Views: 462
If the WBC shows up on this, they are even more stupid than I think they are.
The WBC makes its money suing people that take a swing at them, or for that matter even say something actionable about them.
I do double-dog dare them to picket the funeral of an Army or Marine sniper though. I would bet his buddies would be pissed.
That would be fun to see.... something like the shooter on the knoll....
There's stuff out there that will kill at 2000+ yards in the hands of a good sniper. (A mile is 1760 yards, and a kilometer is 1093+ yards.)
I really wouldn't want to piss these guys off calling their fallen comrade deserving of going to hell just because god hates fags. But hey if WBC wants to try it I won't stand in their way.
I should rephrase this, it takes a superlative sniper (not a "merely" good one) for these sorts of ranges. But half a mile (880 yards) is readily doable and a quarter mile is child's play. (Note that the top records are all held by Limeys and Canucks, you have to get down to 4th place to get a Yank.)
Like I said I won't stand in WBC's way and I certainly wouldn't want to be between them and the righteously pissed-off sniper.
Never piss off a sniper - ya gotta sleep sometime --
Words to live by
Maybe they're all true! I can't imagine what has gone on in the lives of these people to make this ok. I guess I can imagine indoctrination and brainwashing of younger/newer members, but how did it get started, I wonder? What disturbs a mind so much?
I know they bother me so much because they are successful at what they do. They breed anger, hatred, and more awareness of themselves and their vitriolic messages. Turning the other cheek to these cretins, and depriving them of the attention they seek, is so very difficult.
Uusually when I mention Westboro Baptist Church I will say "Westboro Baptist Church ("God hates fags")" or something like that; it instantly reminds people that these are the clowns who picket army funerals. Their website is "godhatesfags" dot com (I refuse to create a link to it and bump up their numbers) so they won't mind the monicker, not that I care what they mind or don't mind.
When I heard they were coming to the reason rally, I realized that Topeka, Kansastan was on my route to the rally (I took a road trip) and I had mental images of passing a van with "Westboro Baptist Church" painted on the side and me getting in front of them and opening my sunroof and waving HI to them with one finger. Didn't happen though.
If I were going to be the subject of a lawsuit by the WBC, believe me I would get a lot of satisfaction before hand.
I would also like to think that people from/in Boston will respond appropriately but honestly I don't see that happening. I live about a half hour out of Boston and Bostonians can be so pig headed and stupid I would be surprised if someone didn't get punched.

I've done a lot of 2D things with Allegro and I'd like to start trying out 3D programming.
The problem is; for the past 3 days, I have been deciding between engines and I cannot decide
I've looked at Cafu, Irrlicht, OGRE(seems a bit hard), Panda3D, and many others but I can not honestly tell which I need.
Again, I'm not making anything serious (I have a friend who is making models for it though) It's more of a learning experience for me.
Oh, and I program in C++ only. So anything that's not supportive of C++ is off the list.
EDIT: Before anyone says "Use the search function" Trust me, I have. Anyways what good is it? That's based on what the OP of those topics want, not what I want.

Top five finishes for A&M track and field squads on Saturday
Published: Monday, April 23, 2012
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 22:07
This past Saturday while students enjoyed festivities surrounding the re-opening of the MSC and Muster, the Track and Field teams were back in action at Bernie Moore Stadium at Louisiana State University.
The defending national champions grabbed wins from multiple sources with junior sprinter Prezel Hardy Jr. at the forefront with a win and a career best in the 200 with a time of 20.46 with one second added on because of the wind.
Hardy said he wasn't feeling well, but sometimes that is when the best comes out.
"To come back in the 200, when I wasn't feeling that well, was surprising," Hardy said. "Coach Henry tells us sometimes you run your best races when you're not feeling so well. I got after it and ran a great race. I set a PR and I'm very happy with that."
Hardy also finished fourth overall and had the second fastest collegiate time in the 100. Sophomore sprinter Michael Bryan came in fourth overall in the 200 and seventh in the 100.
There were more top collegiate finishers for the Aggies as well which included junior distance runner Stephen Curry who won the steeplechase by running a time of 9:02.21. Sophomore distance runner Sophie Blake won the women's 1,500 and set a personal record with a time of 4:33.75 PR. Senior distance runner MacLean O'Donnell won the men's 1,500 running 3:46.75.
Senior middle distance runner Oscar Ramirez ran a 1:48.82 to come in first in the 800. Freshman sprinter Deon Lendore claimed the 400 title running 46.22. The men's 4 x 100 was the best college time. Their time of 39.55 was only second to the Canadian team with a time of 39.25. Sophomore thrower Casey Strong won the hammer throwing 196-11.
Freshman middle distance runner Jillian Anderson and sophomore sprinter Ashton Young both claimed first in their perspective heats in the 800 B sections. Anderson recorded a time of 2:13.61 and Young ran a time of 1:51.91.
Junior hurdler Dominique' Flemings posted a time of 13.00 in the 100 hurdles but failed to come up with her sixth consecutive win as she just came up short to LSU's Jasmin Stowers. Flemings also finished second in the 400 hurdles.
