The majority of the Museum's funding comes from government grant-in-aid through the DCMS. This funding is set for a number of years, and the Museum provides reports to the DCMS on how it has met its agreed targets.

- DCMS funding agreement 2007/2008-2011/2012 PDF (153KB)
The remainder of the funding for our core work comes from fundraising and the Museum's commercial activities, which are conducted through the Natural History Museum Trading Company.
Additional funding for our scientific research is awarded by Research Councils UK, the European Union, trusts, charities and other grant-awarding bodies.
Our long-term aim is to reduce the Museum's dependence on grant-in-aid. We are achieving this by maximising revenue from our trading operations and finding new sources of financial support for our scientific research and exhibitions.

Comments about Blinds Levolor Mini Blinds Riviera 2" Slat:
I live in Canada and was unable to order these online but found Steve's blinds who would be willing to ship to Canada. Turns out I had them delivered to a US postbox. They arrived quickly and were perfect. Compared to the cost of buying in Canada the savings were unbelievable. I am recommending this website to all my canadian friends.

I now have my entire house with the 2" metal blinds...a charcoal color with taupe tape. They have done a great job on updating every room...have gotten several compliments on the look. I've shopped many stores & websites; Steve's had the best prices on my blinds.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was as promised. Customer service, always good!
Great look, great value!
By Geena
from Birmingham, AL
I have these in Cityscape throughout my townhouse. They have just the look I wanted. The dark color does show dust more but I knew that when I chose the charcoal...wouldn't change my choice.
Blinds were delivered as promised, on time & in good condition. Customer service did help me immediately with a small issue.
Classic Upgraded Look
By imaAZwyldkat
from Sierra Vista, AZ
Bought these in "Rich Earth" color to replace cheap faux wood blinds that came in our condo 8 months ago. Not only do they look just as nice, I won't have to worry about the AZ sun warping them in 6 months! The 2" option makes them look classy and they are much easier to clean than the smaller bladed blinds. We also have these in our Tucson home. Bought the same Riviera blind 12 years ago, and they still are as good as new, so we know these are durable and of high quality. No one could beat these prices - and we really shopped overall costs of the competitors!

♠ Thigh Highs ♠ Scrunchy Socks ♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Over The Knee ♠ Autumn ♠ Cotton
Super long, super comfy & super loose! These are nearly 50 inches long with just a bit of ribbing at the tops, the rest is flat knit and really stretchy. Made in the USA.
Available in two foot sizes: Large fits W 9-12, Small fits W 6-9. The top stretch on the latest batch fits up to 20 or 21 inch thighs, and could probably be persuaded to fit a little bigger by wet stretching them.
Additional Info: These are made on antique machines, and the manufacturing process sometimes causes the feet on these styles to twist so that it looks like the toe seam is on the side of the sock. If you have problems with keeping the toe seam and heel aligned properly, we recommend that you try washing them because, once you do, we find that the fibers relax and they're much easier to straighten out.
Fiber Content: 80% recycled cotton, 20% acrylic, with just a little elastic in the cuffs.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: Dream Stockings
How big of a thigh will these fit around? I have huuuge thighs, but would love some looong socks for winter!
I was wondering if these socks are dyeable?
Hi!! Just made an account and excited but I wear 5 1/2 ...Will small fit me okay?
I wear a size 8 woman's shoe, I'd like to wear these with my Natural color chunky Bette Cork Ease 4" heeled sandal wedges, and both my Veronica Slouch Tall & Short Black & Brown motorcycle Frye Boots, do I need small or large?
Hey, I was wondering how well the socks stayed up? They would be quite nice, but I've had some past experiences with long socks and they never seemed to stay up quite that well.
Are there other colors in these In the over the knee and crew socks?
Today I need to feel like a superhero... I like wearing fun socks because they're kind of a secret costume. Thanks, Sock Dreams!

TAHOE, Calif. - Tahoe Regional Planning Agency staff dug into their wallets and scoured shopping and grocery stores continuing the tradition of bringing a little cheer to local children and families in need over the holidays.
This year staff provided gifts of clothes and toys to 35 foster children ages 4-17 through Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).
"TRPA staff was very enthusiastic about helping local foster kids with so little. These children have no families, no toys, and our staff jumped at the opportunity to help," said Gary Weigel, TRPA's lead front counter planner. "Even customers coming in for permits got into the holiday spirit and sponsored children this year."
In addition, TRPA staff adopted a family through the Tahoe Family Resource Center and provided wrapped presents of new, warm clothes and toys for a single mother and her three children, as well as three boxes of food and nearly $600 in local gift cards for the family.
"It's hard not to notice the need in our community," said Jeanne McNamara, TRPA's director of Implementation, who initiated the family gift drive.
"Staff really got into the holiday spirit with so many gifts and toys for the family," she said.
In addition, TRPA Environmental Specialist Ethan Casaday spent a week of his vacation time working with USAID in Haiti teaching a road engineering course to local contractors on how to avoid negative environmental impacts during road construction.
"Going to Haiti renewed my appreciation of all of the great things that we have in America," Casaday said. "In Haiti I saw the utter chaos that can occur with a lack of planning, with a small underfunded government, and little or no public services. It was a great experience; however, I was so thankful to be home to see the crystal clean Tahoe waters, blue skies, smooth highways and nice neighborhoods. We should be very thankful for everything we have!"
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency cooperatively leads the effort to preserve, restore, and enhance the unique natural and human environment of the Lake Tahoe Region now and in the future. For additional information, call Kristi Boosman at 775-589-5230 or send an email to email@example.com.

Serotonin is a chemical produced by nerve cells. The serum serotonin level is a blood test to measure the amount of serotonin in your body.
5-HT level; 5-hydroxytryptamine level; Serotonin test
Blood is most often drawn from a vein. The vein usually used is on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
The procedure is done in the following way:
For infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. Afterward, a bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, you may feel slight pain, or only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test may be done to diagnose carcinoid syndrome. Many patients with carcinoid syndrome have high levels of serotonin in blood and urine.
The normal range is 101-283 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your health care provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
A higher-than-normal level may indicate carcinoid syndrome.
There is very little risk in having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one person to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks may include:

Cybbet.com Online eSports Bettings
Cybbet.com Online eSports Bettings
You can find sporting activities wagering probabilities practically in every overseas sportsbook site. Sports wagering probabilities are used for wagerers to analyze the opportunities on betting for one group or for the various other. Though, sporting activities betting probabilities does not gives you the most effective determining factor but does gives you a fundamental watch on exactly how a video game is anticipated to go in between both groups.
There are 2 crucial methods of translating probability. One needs to be factor spreads and the various other money lines. Though wagering is nearly the very same in both sporting activities betting chances, due to the fact that you bank on who is going to gain, factor spreads differentiate because they set up a variety of points in which the winner needs to have over the loosing team.
As an example, the Giants are betting the 49ers. You are wagering for the 49ers that have a -6 on their factors when the Giants have +6 points as revealed by the established sporting activities wagering odds. Now the 49ers have to defeat the Giants with greater than 6 factors so you could victory your wager. If the final rating ends up tie after that there is no activity and also absolutely nothing is victoried or loosened. If the 49ers win by less than 6 points then you loose your wager.
Sports betting odds like Cash Lines are even much less complex to recognize. Teams does not need to gain by a number of factors, they simply need to victory the video game. For example, sports gambling odds show the Cowboys with -110 versus the Rams with +110. If you wager a $110 on the Cowboys and also they victory you get $ONE HUNDRED. If you bet $ONE HUNDRED on the Rams as well as they win you acquire $110. So these sports betting odds are generally balanced to convince wagerers to bet on the underdog too as well as reach a degree between both sides of wagers.
Sports wagering chances are made as less complex as possible so wagerers could examine their possibilities fast. My suggestion is that you attempt with point spreads in your following bet, you will see how easy is to understand while catching the instinct is a matter of encounter
From aeons ago, where there has actually been sporting activity, there has actually been sports wagering. The temptation to enliven viewing a sport by making a little bet is nearly irresistible. If some individuals bet as a career, great deals of folks such as on your own just wager for fun. If you are banking on sports in the UNITED STATE, you have a wide variety of betting choices ranging from your friends to your regional prohibited bookie. The best option is, nevertheless, to utilize an on-line sporting activities publication for the following reasons:
If most of sports wagering in the USA focuses on the four major sporting activities of football, basketball, baseball as well as hockey, there is a lot of action available on other sporting activities such as horseracing as well as boxing. In addition to the USA, the online sports publications additionally enable bank on different sports in different countries so you are sure of making the bet of your selection. If you are betting on United States sports, you will generally find the probabilities displayed in exactly what the bookies call lines. If you look at the line for any kind of game, the favorites will certainly have probabilities displayed with a + sign in front of the number while the underdogs would certainly have a – indication. The + number is the quantity that you would have to bet to gain $ONE HUNDRED while the – number is the amount that you will certainly gain if you wager $100. As an example, +130 suggests that you bet $130 to gain $ONE HUNDRED while -130 ways that you gain $130 for a $ONE HUNDRED wager.
Right here are the more prominent types of bets that you could put:
Moneyline bets. These are the most basic bets where you just select the team that you assume will victory. The line for this type of bet looks something like this:
Team A -330
Team B +150
This indicates that Team A is the favored as well as you should wager $330 to victory $ONE HUNDRED. A wager of $100 on Team B to gain will certainly bring you the return of $150.
Point spread bets. In order to encourage people to bet evenly on both groups and hence stabilize the risk, bookmakers have developeded the point spread. They chose a factor number which they believe will certainly match the ratings of both groups and also this number is added to the underdog and also deducted from the favorite. In this case the line will certainly look something similar to this:
Team A -10 +110
Team B +10 +110
This suggests that if you bank on the preferred Team An and also they are in advance also after you subtract 10 points, you gain. If you choose the various other team as well as they shed by less than 10 points, you win. Considering that both teams, at the very least in theory, are equal, you will get the very same probabilities. In video games like baseball, the point spread is called the run line.
Betting the under/over. In instance you do not want to pick either group, you have a choice. The book makers will certainly post a number which they think will be the overall score by both groups assembled. If you assume that the total amount is visiting be less, you would certainly bet the under as well as if you think that the total is going to be much more, you would certainly wager the over.
These are the most typical types of betting but you can additionally choose from a variety of other wagers such as parlays, modern parlays, teasers and futures.

Raw power. Those two words ,to me, best describe Slayer's vicious ''attack of sound'' on their classic EP ''Haunting The Chapel''Now that Jeff Hanneman has passed away, the future of Slayer seems so unclear. So, today, I listened to some of Jeff's earlier guitar mastery as I drank a Heineken in his honour! R.I.P. Jeff! \m/ --Whitewizard.

I like the two time world champion and olympic silver medalist and how she skated and won those events. I don't know who is skating this season under Mao's name. It is not the Mao I was a HUGE fan of.
Kwan's lutzez were flutzed (as always) so that's already two less triples. Her second 3T would definitely get <, it wasn't "slightly" underrotated. Her triple flip was clearly half a turn short and would very likely get downgraded with << sign. That's only 4 clean triples. What's more, both triple flutzes were very borderline and they could get < as well. Michelle had that ability to cheat her jumps in such a way that it was imperceptible without slowmotion. But, nevermind - Sarah Hughes cheated so badly that you see it with a naked eye and yet the judges couldn't care less about it...
This season she has the best free skate of her career and her jumping technique has been improving slowly but surely (flip, salchow, toeloop). Loop and axel have always been first-rate. That's definitely something good.
Lutz is still problematic but she might never get rid of her flutzing habit. In most cases it's impossible as you are so used to this certain movement that is changing the edge. Coach Sato once said that the process of revamping Mao's technique will be extremely hard and long and no sooner will it be completed than just before Sochi.
Hmm, I think Michelle's jumps while sometimes UR'ed or flutzed (which, mind you, wasn't as much of a big deal until the IJS, so arguably she played to her strengths if she wasn't getting deducted), she had a quality of finishing them that didn't disrupt her performance. Slutskaya's errors, as Peggy said, looked sloppy, which detracts from the performance.
Don't get on Michelle's case if you don't also get on the case of the number of World Champions before her who flutzed and UR'ed but still got away with it. At 2001 Worlds LP, arguably Irina lipped her flip, and she certainly flutzed on her lutz.
And yes I said Michelle's 3-3 was "slightly underrotated" as in it would have got the < call, as you yourself said she would. It wasn't under-rotated so much as a downgrade. Her flip would have gotten a < too, but not a <<. Also, I don't see how her lutzes could have gotten <? Both looked within 1/4 turn when her skate hit the ice. The judges gave her 5.7 and 5.8 for that. I think the UR on the flip and toe loop would account for that. Slutskaya on the other hand also got 5.7/5.8/5.9 when she was < on her salchow-loop, and << with a step out on her lutz-loop. Similar errors as Kwan. Really she was given 5.9 for attempting the 3-3's, not actually landing them. But then Kwan won on artistry (which made sense). So I think the competition was correctly called. It's remarkable that Slutskaya attempted two 3-3 but attempts only get you so much credit.
As for Hughes, even though her 3-3 were UR, the rest of her program was flawless when Kwan and Slutskaya both had significant errors. Hughes' errors didn't affect the "look" of the program either as they were subtle UR and not glaring falls or step outs. It was a very good thing for figure skating -- especially with the 2002 scandal -- that Sarah Hughes won the gold medal in 2002. Many wanted Kwan to win, but when both she and Slutskaya erred and Slutskaya performed better than Kwan, the judges had no choice but to put Sarah first. People knock Sarah for underrotating her 3-3, but at least she didn't play it safe and still make obvious errors as Kwan/Slutskaya did. If she had done double loops instead of triple loops, she still would have had a cleaner program.

Rotated triple flips have been very rare and same thing with triple toe. Since the Japan Open her jumping has gotten worse. To say she is only really having problems with a triple lutz is not what I am seeing in the protocols. Plus you have the never attempted 3A and likely fact that she wont do it ever again and never attempt a 3/3 it is like who is this skater that I was a fan of? You can't just radically change everything about your jumping level and expect everyone will continue to be a fan. Many people act like she is the same skater but she definitely is not in a lot of ways. Mao has turned into Carolina Kostner or something. She's not Mao.
I think if you look at her jumping record, you will see that Mao is having one of the worst seasons, technically. But due to a PCS boost, it's not costing her severely. Her loop has been her solid jump this season, and her flip has been less successful than it has been successful -- again, she has yet to land two clean 3F in her FS.
I was always a fan of Mao because she pushed the technical envelope which made her exciting to watch. I forgave her lack of refinement because I was excited to see a hardcore athlete, and not somebody who just does "enough". Now she has nothing technically notable, although the rest of her skating has improved. I know everyone here loves an all-round skater, but I'd rather a skater who's 55-45 (technical-artistic) than a skater who is 30-70. I much prefer the Mao who could reel off 3-3's and 3A's in her sleep. It's her claim to fame, and now she's just an average skater with better artistic qualities. That being said, I do give her credit for re-working her lutz technique and adding transitions, but I still dislike her flip inside-outside-inside edge entry.
Actually, I feel like I need to defend gmyers on this one. He's always been a proponent of jumps and skaters attempting the most difficult set of jumps plausible I expect if Kostner/Asada/whomever get their jumps in order, he'd be quite happy. And I think if the skaters who have their jumps right now lose them/lower their difficulty, he'd be upset if they still scored well. It's not "deranged Mao hate" by any means.
You've missed the whole point of me bringing up Michelle's flutzes and underrotations completely. I do not argue over "who should've won if the competition had been held under CoP". The winner would've been probably Slutskaya, anyway, but it is irrelevant here.
I have all my right to get on Michelle's case if I want even if I don't get on the case of the number of World Champions before who flutzez/lipped or UR'ed. Michelle is not a God, I CAN talk about her flaws as much as I want. Having said that, I do acknowledge the other champion's flutzing and cheating. So what? Hughes and Lipinski flutzed, Hughes and Chen underrotated, the list continues now and so what.
I've brought up Michelle's case because her SOTBS is considered to be one of the best gold medal performances of the last decade in spite of all the technical flaws it has. On the other hand, Mao's brilliant free skate from GPF has been terribly understated and dispraised in this thread because she <'ed two of her jumps, had a flutz and doubled one jump. Applying the logic of some of the posters, this skate has only 3 clean triples which makes the whole performance so atrocious that you can't even manage to watch it till the end. Ok, now, let's apply the same logic to the other performances. It doesn't have to really be Michelle. Any of the champions who underrotated or flutzed would do the job. I've picked Michelle because she is loved (or even worshipped) by so many and therefore her underrotations and flutzes are always overlooked and not talked about.
Both flutzes in Michelle's program were borderline. You need to stop the video the moment her blade has full contact with the ice. I know it's difficult to catch the moment but once you've managed to it you'll be able to see that they were landed on this 1/4 borderline or slightly exceeding it so it would all depend on the celler. Anyway, this is not critical for my point at all because of the fact that they were flutzed which excludes them from the overall amount of "CLEAN" triples. That is at least according to the method you use when you evaluate Mao's program. Even if the flip did not deserve << and I believe it did it was still underrotated and cannot be counted as a "clean" triple wither. The same with the second toeloop. After all is said and done we are left with only 3 clean triples in Michelle's glorious SOTBS which I personally find wonderful performance-wise. Nonetheless, it had only 3 clean triples - the same amount Mao had in her GPF skate. I say it to defend Mao from all those people who claim that she won her GPF title with only 3 triple, not to diminish Michelle's win over Slutskaya or to prove that Slutskaya should've won. My answer is: Michelle Kwan won her 2001 World title with only 3 clean triples too. The small difference is that Mao performed her program with plenty of transitions while Michelle had virtually none, had much more difficult and energy-absorbing spins and way more difficult and energy-absorbing footwork.
Putting the whole thing aside, three judges did give Kwan 5,7's for technical merit that night and the rest gave her 5,8's but certainly not to punish her flutzes and underrotations. They did so in order to leave place for Slutskaya which was a normal thing under 6.0. Irina certainly would get < on her first triple loop and << on her second one however she did not lip. Technically, she did not truly flutz either because flutzing occurs when you change the edge from outside to inside right before the take-off. Irina always took off her lutzes on a flat, neither outside nor inside edge. Michelle took off hers more on the inside edge than flat. Thus, Michelle would get "e" while Irina "!" should we use the rules that were in force until 2009/2010 season.

I disagree. Although the 3A was her trademark, Mao has always been an all-around skater. She has beautiful lines and flexibility that are evident in her spins and spirals. And she is also one of the few skaters nowadays who seem to pay attention to hitting beautiful positions in her programs. I think what made her special was not only because she was reeling off those difficult jumps in her prime, but also because she didn't seem like the type of skater (powerful and fast skaters like Ito and Harding) who would be able to pull them off. It was that contrast between her soft, almost ethereal style and her ability to do a powerful jump like the 3A that caught people's attention.
Bartek, I agree with your post #115 completely, but I find myself agreeing with CanadianSkaterGuy's main argument: that champions should have SOME minimum/basement level of completed jumps to be eligible or respectable in a win. His viewpoint has been miscontrued in various discussions as "other skills in figure skating are not important", when in fact he is simply stressing that without enough jumps, it's rather lame when someone beats, for example, younger and less polished skaters who ARE reeling off say, 6-7 jumps in their LP's.
Beautiful positions, artistic refinement, divine skating skills, etc. are all very important aspects of figure skating, but without the "meat" of a competitive program (i.e. jumps), I can't feel satisfied when someone wins gold over others who brought more of the sporting aspect in the SPORT of figure skating. I say this without picking out specifics in Michelle Kwan or Mao Asada or Carolina Kostner or whoever. And I don't nitpick so badly in whether it is "clean"; flutzes, lips, <'s, if they are landed I will preferably count them in the total tally (albeit less valued, of course.)
The opposite argument, that "oh yes I am totally a fan of a 'COMPLETE skater' and someone who does 3 triples is an acceptable winner for me if they have great footwork, great engagement, great choreography, great positions, etc." is the one I completely disagree with. Keep those to Exhibitions, please.
In the modern age, if you don't do at least 5 triples (in my view, that includes <'s, and edge calls if they are still landed relatively cleanly and non-disruptively) in a FS + 2 in the SP, then pass the gold to someone else who has, even if they are weaker in other areas.
Well, Bartek, you know that I will always revere Kwan, especially in Black Swan, no matter how anyone explains it, but I also root for Mao. Can you tell me what you feel about her prognosis for the future, considering the stage she is at right now, a year before Sochi? I'd love for her to be a contender for gold, though I've learned to live with disappointment, and I won't love her skating any less if it doesn't win the ultimate prize. (Remember Janet Lynn!) But I'd like to see her succeed with her bold and grueling plan to rebuild her jumps. I'd like for both Mao and Mr. Sato to have that feeling of satisfaction. And I'd like for us fans to have it also.
So I repeat my question. What is your take, Bartek, on Mao's progress?
I think Mao may still surprise us, just like she did in the past olympic season. In 2009 worlds was her first international competition where she did not place on podium. Talking about her freeskates in olympic season, at Trophee Bombard she landed 4 clean triples, at Rostelecom Cup only 2 clean triples. 2009-10 was her first season when she did not qualify for Grand Prix Final. At her nationals she landed 5 clean triples, at 4cc 6 clean triples. Now that was a huge progress from her 2009 worlds ap to 4cc and then winning a silver medal. I'm not saying I'm satisfied with her progress after Olympics because there is almost none but I just wanted to point out Mao can do wonders in short time and surprise everyone.
But using every opportunity you get to post in every single thread how a skater is completly "atrocious" is deranged hate (and after NHK/GPF in really every therad I read was a negative comment from gmyers about Mao).Originally Posted by ImaginaryPogue
Maybe it's not mainly Mao-hate, but whatever kind of hate, it's useless, exaggerated and insulting.
If a skater changes, nobody says you need to be a fan - but that doesn't mean you have to become insutling towards a skater. Just leave them alone and that's it. All of those skaters are working hard, one can dislike them all they want to, but you need to keep a certain amount of respect.
I'd rather say Minze2001 has said the exact right thing.
Oh, and Bartek, thanks a lot for all your lovely comments and analysis about Mao. I always enjoy reading them very much

by Dave Bar The Azur 551P adds excitement and life to the sound of your vinyl records. "Do I really need a separate phono preamplifier?" The simple answer is, of course, if your turntable or stereo system doesn't already have one built in. But even if does, and you're currently plugging your turntable directly into your receiver or amp's phono input, you could still be missing out on a lot of sonic goodness. That's because many manufacturers use low-cost, low-fi circuitry that sounds flat and lifeless. The Cambridge Audio Azur 551P solves that problem. It boosts and equalizes the tiny voltages coming from your 'table's moving magnet phono cartridge to deliver a robust, line-level signal infused with rich, dynamic sound — revealing layers of musical detail hidden in the grooves of your favorite vinyl records. The Cambridge Audio difference Cambridge Audio has a passion for creating high-value audio gear that captures every last drop of detail and emotion from your music. The 551P has been carefully designed to offer plenty of foot-tapping performance at a price that won't break the bank. Its advanced electronics include high-quality 'Class A' amplification circuits and hand-picked components housed in an all-metal outer casing featuring a thick brushed aluminum front panel. The 551P isn't expensive, it only sounds and looks that way.

Perfect Phono Amp Written By Matthew L., Portland, OR on Sunday, April 12, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been playing and apriciating the sound of vinyl for over 20 years. My receiver has a phono input, but the internal amp just did not have the volume and bass response I was looking for. This amp works perfectly and now the sound is incredible. Pros: Easy set up. Cost effective. Cons: None.
Great Addition Written By K.Zaine, St Clr Shores, MI on Sunday, February 01, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice quality-budget addition to my current setup. No issues at all and is an upgrade from the $50 and under category. Pros: On/off switch is nice
Impressive Written By Ken, Texas on Saturday, December 13, 2014 I have been searching for a phono amp fro my marantz sr5008 and boy howdy did I find one. The rich full bodied sound was more than I thought was capable. Pros: crisp clear highs coupled with deep rich base. You will be amazed what you will hear from your vinyl records that you never caught before Cons: None
Fantastic. Written By ElCid, NC on Wednesday, November 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have used this CA Azur 551P for over a year now. I have zero complaints. I am running a Marantz TT-15S1 through it. If you intend to ONLY use Moving Magent Cartridges through it you can not go wrong. Pros: Fantastic Value. ABSOLUTELY SILENT. Cons: MM only, but its part of the design.
Cambridge Audio Azur 551P Written By Bob K., Arizona on Sunday, August 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Recently upgraded my system with a used turntable and a cheap phono amp. Decided the amp was not up to my standards, and since I already had a Cambridge Azur system, I decided to at least check out their phono amp for an MM cartridge. Just no comparison with the other unit!!!!! Absolutely love how this amp makes the records sound. Even at low volume the details are incredible!!!!! Definitely would recommend this unit if you are looking to upgrade your turntable with a MM cartridge.
Fantastic Sound Written By Flachboard, La Crosse, WI on Monday, August 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My entry-mid level turntable has never sounded better! Pros: Great sound for a great price Cons: None thus far
A conversational piece Written By Colin H., Maine on Saturday, June 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I imagined that it would take a period of intense and devoted listening to hear how this pre-amp differs from the built-in amps of the earlier AVRs, but no, its brilliance revealed itself just seconds into 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot'. It picks up every nuance in a controlled and balance way. Truly something I will brag about to my other analog loving friends! Pros: Great grounding / power circuit isolation No noise to speak of
Cambridge Audio Azur 551P Written By dennis, shedd, oregon on Thursday, April 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sweet, warm beautiful sound. Pressing the power button is like pressing a 1970's button. Pros: Sweet sound Nice looks Cons: Nothing
Cambridge audio azur 551p Written By JAMES H., Kannapolis,NC on Friday, March 14, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good Phono Pre-Amplifier easy to hook up.
Solid Pre Amp Written By E, WI on Friday, February 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a solid pre amp for the cost. My Onkyo receiver did not have a phono connection and after deciding to get back into vinyl I went looking for a solid pre amp option for my new turntable. Good sound quality and perfect size for my setup, I have just off to the side on my cabinet. There are less expensive pre amps available but after reading reviews, researching options and talking with a Crutchfield rep and a a few other dealers I went with this pre amp and felt it was a good balance of price/quality. For those just starting out in vinyl note that this pre amp does not come with RCA cables. Pros: Easy setup, good size for space. good feel/components. Cons: Lack of RCA cables for some.
What an Improvement! Written By Paul, Boston on Saturday, February 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love vinyl and this preamp really brings out the depth, clarity and warmth of that analog sound. I recently upgraded my Technics SL 5 with a Prestige Green cartridge by Grado and was amazed at the improvement. I decided not to stop there and decided to upgrade my $50 TCC 750 pre amp as well. After much research, the Cambridge Azur kept rising above the rest. With Crutchfields generous policies, I had nothing to lose and gave it a go. So glad I did! This upgrade, paired with my Marantz SR 5007 has been a revelation. I was really missing out on a ton of detail and a really great soundstage with this pre. My vinyl sounds even more amazing than ever! If you are considering this, I suggest going for it. I would be surprised if any one would be disappointed with this quality unit. Pros: Easy setup, great sound, solid build, grounding wire attachment, on/off switch, light on indicator, gold plated audio in/outs Cons: Odd size-too big to set up on top of my tower next to turntable, too small to stack on top of
Cambridge Audio Azur 551P Written By Joe Z, Waynesboro. VA on Friday, February 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My ONKYO didn't have a phono jack, so I contacted Crutchfield online and chatted with a service tech. He suggested the Cambridge Audio Azur 551P phono preampliphier. Although it is expensive at $157, it was worth it. It arrived in two days and was easy to hook up. I was skeptical of all the great reviews but when I listened to my first record it was crystal clear. I was amazed at how much better my old albums sounded. I kept trying different types of music from classical to heavy metal and all sounded great. I even tried my old 45 record collection and again the sound was so clear. I take care very good care of my records, so I can't comment on any scratched or damaged records. Thank you Crutchfield for helping me find the right item. Pros: Well made and has a power switch so it does not use electricity when not in use. Excellent sound reproduction. Easy to hook up. Use good patch cords and phono jacks. Cons: The cost is high but well worth it. You get what you pay for is the old expression.
Excellent Written By pressurewelder, West Virginia on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very impressed. . It's obvious that Cambridge knows what vinyl is supposed to sound like, and they build the 551P with quality components. Makes my modern amp sound as warm and crisp as my vintage recapped SX950. But this Cambridge preamp is more sensitive to nuance and detail, with better resolution. Pros: Modern vinyl playback at it's finest for the money, Sounds more expensive than it is. Cons: A set of patch cords and ground wire included would be nice. But would obviously raise the price, and some folks wont need them.
Good Product Written By Rick, Charleston, SC on Tuesday, July 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Had a lot of trouble with the inexpensive $20 pre-amps that are largely touted on the online shopping services. Bought one and it didn't work at all, so I couldn't even complain about excessive noise that I read about in many reviews. Threw in the towel and upgraded with the help of a Crutchfield support person (Rocky) that both educated and directed me towards the Cambridge 551P. It was more than I wanted to spend but guess what? It works just fine and my albums sound just like they did on my older JVC receiver. So far I'm happy.
Cambridge Audio Azur 551P Written By JoeR, Pittsburgh,PA on Saturday, May 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Unit performs as advertised without any problems to date. Pros: Unit performs as stated. Cons: None
First pre amp Written By DonE., Hilo Hawaii on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I haven't used a pre amp before , so take this w/ a grain of salt. I had a hum in my system when using this device , so I upgraded the in/out audio cables per Crutchfield tech support. That cured everything . Sound is clearer than I remember my LPs from years ago ( some from 1963 ) I have traveled & toted about 300 LPs for all of my adult life. Getting this with the Pro-ject Carbon turntable was a little pricey for me , but hearing those cuts on my LPs that NO ONE plays anymore was worth it. (Thanks , Honey),my wife , not Crutchfield... P.S. went with Monster gold cables.. Pros: works & looks great Cons: they should put really high quality cables with it , or none at all
Superb upgrade in SOUND!! Written By R. Proudfoot, Oak Park, MI on Sunday, January 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I decided some months back to renew my interest in vinyl. I dug out my old Technics SL-Q2 turntable, installed a new Audio Technica stylus and purchased this product. As with the previous reviewer I could not plug into the phono jack in my Sony receiver but instead plugged into an auxiliary jack. What an improvement in the SOUND!!!! Remarkable improvement compared to listening to my old albums without this phono pre-amp. Highly recommended!!! Pros: Much improved sound quality. Really makes my entire unit sound totally different (amazingly different). Simple to set up/install. Cons: None
Excellent Product Written By David D, Clayton, North Carolina on Saturday, December 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent product, I was skeptical of this product at first, my turntable has a built-in amp, and also my amplifier has a phono jack. I went in through a line on my amp, and turned off the switch to the preamp on the turntable. I was amazed at how much better the sound of my old albums produced using this product. I don't have high dollar audio equipment, but I feel like I do now! The sound is louder, more pure, and crisp, not as dull and flat as it use to be. I'm not saying this is a miracle product, but it did help out my stereo system. I don't think I'll go out and buy one of those $500 plus turntables, I'll stick with my cheap $200 table for now. I'm a satisfied customer, and I recommend this product... made in England, not China, so it should last for more than a couple of days, but what do I know, it's probably made in China too. Pros: Does improve the sound of your turntable (mine anyway), Not a bad looking peice of equipment Cons: none

Someone with hot fiery Cape Verdean blood flowing through their veins. Cape Verde is a small group of islands off the west coast of Africa and there are a lot of Cape Verdeans in New England. Cape Verdeans are Black/African reguardless of skin/eye color or hair length/texture but sadly a lot of them are in denial about it... they try to use their portuguese mixture as an excuse of why they're not african but it's stupid because there is a mix of something else in almost every African country... Overall Cape Verdeans are sexy and attract attention almost everywhere they go

A Cape Verdean is a person who descended from Cape Verde which is a tiiny little country off the western coast of Africa. They range from all skiin colors, eye colors, and haiir types. The language sort of sounds liike a miix of the romance languages spanish, portuguese, italian, ect. so iif u speak one of those especiially portuguese you'd have no problem pickiin iit up. Personally, I happen to thiink Pawtucket, RI is the second Cape Verde. All cape verdeans luv cachupa, and if u dont, well then ur not cape verdean. Many play soccer and they're skilled as hell at iit. At the moment the freak a leak song for them is "Chichiri", download iit ;] . They wear their pride on theiir shiirt and flaunt thiier shiiet.
There were three Cape Verdean ladies walking down the beach, and they find what they believe to be a magic lamp. So, they rub it to see if it really is. Just as they rub it, a genie pops out and says that he'll give them each one wish. So the first girl says 'I want to be really smart ', and she appears with glasses and a book in her hand. The second girl says 'I want to be even smarter than her', and she turned into a genius. The third girl said 'I want to just change this whole wish thing around, I want to be as dumb as I could possibly be, and she turns into a white chick.

The envy of all people who strive to define who and what we are. We are not just Black African, we have a mixed heritage that we are proud of. Why do people spend so much time and effort telling us what we are when we do not care what you are?

Such a change would generally reward business travelers, who often fly on short notice on more-expensive tickets, versus leisure travelers who might fly long distances but often on cheaper fares.
Air travelers have long complained that a $700 ticket buys them a seat next to someone who might be riding on a fare sale for, say, $200. More and more, the airlines are steering greater rewards to the traveler who spend more.
Delta announced last week that in 2014 frequent fliers will need to spend at least $2,500 to qualify for the lowest level of elite status. Previously, they could qualify on miles alone. The highest level of elite status will require spending $12,500.
Travelers prize that status because it moves them to the front of airport lines and lets them qualify for upgrades to first class. Delta said the shift was to make sure "our most valued customers receive the best program benefits and a more exclusive experience."
Delta appears to be planning more changes in that direction.
President Ed Bastian said on Tuesday that Delta wants to shift its SkyMiles rewards program "to drive the type of customer behavior that we would like to encourage."
"I think before we didn't discern between a customer that was a high-yielding customer versus a low-yielding customer," he said on the company's quarterly earnings conference call. "I think that as we continue to evolve those programs we'll be continuing to favor the higher-yielding customers over the lower-yielding customers."
Delta declined to say more about future changes to SkyMiles.
JetBlue Airways Corp.'s "True Blue" frequent flier program already awards points based on dollars spent, not on miles.
Two years ago Southwest Airlines Co. changed its frequent flier program to reward more-expensive tickets. The change jarred some Southwest customers used to its egalitarian image, with no business class or assigned seats.
That is not likely to be a problem for Delta.
"They never tried to be Southwest. So it's not going to impair their image in the way that these changes have affected Southwest," said Tim Winship, who runs frequentflier.com.
Business travelers are "going to be the winners because they are already spending enough to reach these thresholds," Winship said. "The losers are going to be the folks out there who are more price-sensitive."

CHARACTER James Hernandez | |
Appearance(s): | Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas |
Full name: | James Hernandez |
Also known as: | Jimmy Officer Hernandez |
Status: | Deceased |
Gender: | Male |
Date of death: | 1992 |
Nationality: | Mexican-American |
Main affiliation: | C.R.A.S.H. Frank Tenpenny Eddie Pulaski Carl Johnson |
Voiced by: | Armando Riesco |
- "Yeah, been working on the streets three years though, and I realize that there is only one kind of crime in Los Santos, gang crime; that's why I joined CRASH."
- ―Jimmy Hernandez to Eddie Pulaski.
James "Jimmy" Hernandez is a police officer who appears as a supporting character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. He is a member of the Los Santos Police Department and C.R.A.S.H., alongside Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski. He recalls one of his most difficult cases to be a domestic dispute. He is voiced by Armando Riesco.
[show]Events of GTA San Andreas
Hernandez almost blows his membership with Tenpenny and Pulaski early on, after he says that a domestic dispute was difficult. Tenpenny tells him to get out of the car in East Los Santos, however he is later seen in the dock area with Tenpenny and Pulaski. In The Introduction, Tenpenny asks Hernandez to shoot Ralph Pendelbury, which he does only after having his own life threatened.
Hernandez continues to work with Tenpenny and Pulaski in controlling each of the four gangs in Los Santos, but also in controlling the returning Carl Johnson. They pull him over when he is just around the corner from his home in Ganton, and frame him for the murder of Officer Pendelbury. They throw him out of the car, and leave him in Jefferson, which is Ballas territory. Later on, Hernandez phones Carl Johnson, telling him not to leave Los Santos and that they are watching him.
C.R.A.S.H. then tells Ryder about a train load of ammunition and weapons arriving in Los Santos, which Carl and Ryder then take. C.R.A.S.H. later employs Carl Johnson to burn down a number of houses used by the Los Santos Vagos. Following this, Carl is told to disrupt a meeting between the Ballas and the Russian Mafia. However, C.R.A.S.H. later turn on Carl and the Grove Street Families, and take Carl to Angel Pine in Whetstone.
Carl is left without any weapons and in the middle of nowhere, however C.R.A.S.H. knows exactly where he is. They send him up Mount Chiliad to kill a witness who is going to testify against Tenpenny and Pulaski, possibly Hernandez as well.
Upon reaching Las Venturas, Carl Johnson finds out from Mike Toreno about the murder of Officer Ralph Pendelbury by the hands of Frank Tenpenny, although Frank only ordered the murder, while Hernandez actually killed Pendelbury. This might be explained by the fact that Hernandez reported the murder to Internal Affairs, but told them that Tenpenny killed Pendelbury, since admitting he murdered an officer could bring him trouble. Since Toreno is a governmental agent and has access to such information as Jimmy's statement, he told Carl only what Hernandez declared. Of course, nobody could know what actually happened, with Pendelbury dead, Hernandez protecting himself, C.R.A.S.H. framing CJ and CJ not knowing the real situation. Toreno himself does not mention Hernandez.
When Carl, Tenpenny and Pulaski next meet in Las Venturas, Frank Tenpenny says that the gig is nearly up. He states that he and Pulaski may lose their badges, but does not mention Hernandez. This suggests that they are aware of Hernandez's role within C.R.A.S.H. This becomes apparent when Tenpenny and Pulaski turn on Hernandez. Tenpenny hits him with a shovel, and presumes he is dead and leaves. Pulaski, meanwhile, is left to kill Carl Johnson, but Hernandez suddenly gets up in order to help Carl. However, Pulaski turns round and shoots Hernandez, killing him.
He is mentioned in the mission Riot by a television news reporter, saying that he had probably been killed for threatening to turn states evidence.
Hernandez is actually a good cop, as he clearly wants to stop gang violence, not manipulate it like Tenpenny and Pulaski. In The Introduction, he mentions a domestic dispute over a father beating his drug-addicted spouse for buying drugs instead of food, thus allowing their children to starve. He recalls asking himself if he should arrest the father for beating his spouse, or let the children stay with their drug-addict mother. While telling this story, he is ignored by Tenpenny and Pulaski.
Hernandez seems to have respect for Tenpenny at the beginning of The Introduction, but after being forced to kill fellow officer Ralph Pendelbury and seeing Tenpenny and Pulaski dealing with CJ, whom he knows is a criminal, he decides to inform the feds on his co-workers.
Murders committed
- Ralph Pendelbury - Killed on Frank Tenpenny's orders under the threat of death.
Mission appearances
- GTA San Andreas
- The Introduction
- First Mission
- Cleaning the Hood (Voice)
- Catalyst
- Burning Desire
- Gray Imports
- The Green Sabre
- High Noon (Killed)
- During the mission Misappropriation, Pulaski claims that Hernandez has been gone for too long; it is possible that Hernandez was revealing information about Tenpenny and Pulaski at the time.
- The only time Hernandez speaks in the game is in a phone call to CJ warning him not to flee the town. He does not speak again after this. He does, however, speak continuously during The Introduction, only to be berated by Tenpenny and Pulaski for talking about irrelevant subjects; this is probably why he is quiet for the whole game.
- Whenever Tenpenny and Pulaski meet with Big Smoke, they never bring Hernandez along, suggesting that they don't trust him with the knowledge of their dealings with Big Smoke.
- Hernandez has a similar face to Cesar Vialpando.
