Intense, repeated sun exposure that results in sunburn increases your risk of other skin damage and certain diseases. These include infection, premature aging of your skin (photoaging) and skin cancer.
Ruptured blisters make you more susceptible to bacterial infection. See your doctor if you notice signs or symptoms of infection, which include pain, redness, swelling and an oozing blister.
Sun exposure and repeated sunburns accelerate the skin's aging process, making you look older than you are. Skin changes caused by UV light are called photoaging. The results of photoaging include:
Precancerous skin lesions appear as rough, scaly patches in areas that have been damaged by the sun. They may be whitish, pink, tan or brown. They're usually found on the sun-exposed areas of the head, face, neck and hands of fair-skinned people. These patches can evolve into skin cancer. They're also called actinic keratoses (ak-TIN-ik ker-uh-TOE-seez) and solar keratoses.
Excessive sun exposure, even without sunburn, increases your risk of skin cancer, such as melanoma. It can damage the DNA of skin cells. Sunburns in childhood and adolescence may increase your risk of developing melanoma later in life.
Skin cancer develops mainly on areas of the body most exposed to sunlight, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms, hands and legs. Skin cancer on the leg is more common in women than in men.
Some types of skin cancer appear as a small growth or a sore that bleeds easily, crusts over, heals and then reopens. With melanoma, an existing mole may change or a new, suspicious-looking mole may develop. A type of melanoma called lentigo maligna develops in areas of long-term sun exposure. It starts as a tan flat spot that slowly darkens and enlarges.
See your doctor if you notice a new skin growth, a bothersome change in your skin, a change in the appearance or texture of a mole, or a sore that doesn't heal.
The sun can also burn your eyes. Too much UV light damages the retina, lens or cornea. Sun damage to the lens can lead to clouding of the lens (cataracts). Sunburned eyes may feel painful or gritty. Sunburn of the cornea is also called snow blindness.

A Realm of Sorcery, Faith and War. Shadowbane is a game of Magic and Intrigue
set in a World almost lost to the ravages of War. Quite often, those
who seek power will do so through the formation of Guilds.
The design of Shadowbane adds a large-scale warfare system on top of
the fully-functional roleplaying game - allowing the more strategic-minded
players to bind together and vie for control of territories within the
online world. In a massively multi-user setting, this twist gives rise
to a whole new realm of game play - guild politics and siege warfare.
"It's an interesting hybrid of two very distinct genres. At its core,
it's still a roleplaying game - but on top of that foundation we've
added elements typically common to strategy games, such as creating
factions, defending castles, tactical formations, and the expansion
of territories," explains Josef Hall, Wolfpack's Founder and President.
This represents a marked departure from standard design, as the few
Persistent World titles currently in production have concentrated on
supporting the Roleplaying game model only.
In addition to being able to support tens (or potentially hundreds)
of thousands of players within the same 3D universe at once, Shadowbane
will provide, for the first time, an in-game mechanism whereby groups
of players can come together to amass armies and build Kingdoms.
General Features
Structured Guild System - Guilds, they aren't just for waylaying
people on the road anymore. Shadowbane has a REAL Guild System.
Guilds have their own Fighting styles, Skills, Castles, Territories,
and more. Guilds gain power through Raiding and Wars, just like
their members
Dialogue will be displayed over your head ala Ultima Online or
in an easily accessible chat window. You will also be able to change
the font and color of your text.
Giving the player complete control over the camera allows the
action to be seen from any vantage point.

Hello folks! I'm Smitten and I was wondering how many of you have heard of the free-to-play 3rd person MOBA called Smite?
I used to be a pretty fanatical WoW player, logged in for the first time shortly after the release of classic and just couldn't put it down as I was in love with the setting and the gameplay (pvp especially) until I found this game. My subscription to WoW is history and I couldn't imagine going back, not saying that will happen to you, but it did to me!
I'm now producing a youtube series called "How to Fail at Smite" where I examine each of the gods and give you tips on how to play correctly by analyzing my mistakes!
Here's a look at both the game and my series! If you'd like to play Smite, I've got a link in the description so you can setup your account!
Let me know what you think and if you'd like to try it out with me!

We believe that environmental security is not just about quality of life, it is a basic human right.
The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) is a UK-based non-profit organisation working internationally to protect the environment and defend human rights.
Our work focuses on protecting the world's seas and oceans by investigating and exposing illegal 'pirate' fishing and exploitation in the seafood industry; showing the impacts of our changing global climate on vulnerable communities, and highlighting the effects of toxic pesticides. We train local people and communities in the latest video technologies, research and advocacy skills, enabling them to investigate, expose and combat local threats to wildlife and wild places, and the people who live alongside them.
EJF's evidence of illegal fishing in West Africa has prompted arrests and a million dollars worth of fines levied against pirate fishing vessels; we have secured action from the US Department of State towards halting human trafficking; our investigative work into cotton in Uzbekistan led to one of the world's most repressive governments signing UN conventions to end forced labour and we helped secure a global ban on a deadly pesticide. We have protected wildlife and wild places, from turtles in Liberia, mangrove forests in Brazil to wetlands in Cambodia. Our work is cost-efficient, dynamic, original and effective. Our work protects the grassroots by making their issues global.

Academic BackgroundB.A., Brown
Ph.D., Brandeis
After completing an undergraduate degree in Anthropology I headed for Brandeis University with the intention of focusing on economic anthropology and the peoples of the Northwest Coast. The economics part stuck, but the regional focus shifted after spending the two months on a summer research project in Trinidad, W.I. That research, conducted in a small fishing village on the north coast of Trinidad would shape most of the rest of my career, as I seem to have always worked on Islands and always with fishermen. Ph.D. research took me to Grenada, W.I., where I studied the development of a local fishermen's cooperative.
A sabbatical in 1978 found me commuting back and forth between New Bedford and Cuttyhunk Island where I did basic ethnographic and ethno-historical research on the community, with special emphasis on fishing traditions. My more recent research has been to study the culture of surf fishing along the southern coasts of New England, with a particular interest in the informal rules (etiquette) governing the pursuit of game fish in the surf.
A return trip to previous research locales in Trinidad and Grenada in 2002 gave new perspectives on my earlier research and provided enrichment for my classes. A highlight of the trip was the opportunity to reunite with my primary informant of 36 years earlier. In support of my teaching about global tourism, I have made a number of trips to Europe, the Caribbean and North America to acquire teaching materials and gain first hand experiences of the dynamics of international tourism and intercultural encounters.

Students participate in science bowl competition
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. - You may have heard about STEM education, learning about science, technology, engineering and math.
It's a nationwide push to get students learning more about each. It may sound a little dry but there are ways to perk the learning experience up a bit, like a science bowl competition.
It's been all about science here lately a Wallace Middle School; they've just concluded their science fair. The blue ribbon goes to a practical experiment that we all could learn from about light bulbs. "I was comparing the efficiency to see how much heat it gave off to see if it effects your heating and cooling costs," says winner Brennon Kinbler, an eighth grader.
They're getting a room ready for science bowl competition practice. The science bowl is a regional competition by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. It's part game show and learning. "We just have these packets and we have the buzzers, and our teacher will ask us questions. We'll buzz in and we'll keep score and everything," Kaitlyn Mullins, one of the competitors, said.
But this will be the last practice before leaving for Newport News, Virginia for the statewide science bowl, plus some extras. "We're also going to be meeting people who work at the Jefferson Labs, like the scientists and stuff. That's going to be cool," says competitor Branson Street.
"I think its exciting because not a lot of people from down in this area get to go. So most people are from up north," added Megan Esterly, another competitor.
Each one had their reasons for joining the team, with learning being the ultimate goal. "I just saw everyone else signing up and it seemed pretty fun. I thought it might help improve my science grade, doing more studying," Sydney Eades says.
Some of the material covered is a little more advanced than they're used to. "I told them that they probably will see some material later on whenever they get to high school and they're excited about it. It's like they're getting ahead of the game," team coach and math teacher Jessica France said.
"I'm really glad that's what it's about raising that bar higher," adds Valerie Leonard, another coach and science teacher.
There will be one winner of the science bowl, but these students are already on a winning track.

"Real Grand Expression" Sound, touch, pedals–perfectly integrated to give you the sensation of playing a grand piano.
Real Grand Expression. This phrase defines the expressive capability of Clavinova. It is not only the full realization of the sound, the touch and the pedals, but the application of technologies nurtured by crafting acoustic pianos to perfectly integrate these three elements into a single piano. This piano produces that exact sound you want through the touch of the keys and the feel of the pedals. As you play, you will truly feel as though you are playing a grand piano.
The sound is heard just as it was played. "RGE Sound Engine" provides playing response and expressive capability.
The Benefits of Smooth Release
The RGE Sound Engine delivers the ultimate expressive capability for the CLP Series. The new CLP Series uses the RGE (Real Grand Expression) Sound Engine, the next-generation piano sound source. It improves upon the Pure CF Sound Engine, which earned high praise in the CVP Series, and lets you enjoy the playing response and expressive capability of a concert grand piano. It features a new Smooth Release function which can express sound with great clarity, and clearly enunciate staccato notes with the sound of lingering resonance heard when gently lifting your fingers from the keys. It succeeds in capturing the essence of a piano performance to create grand piano-like, richly expressive experiences.
Dynamic change of sound is dependent on touch.
Variations of sound according to touch
An acoustic piano is a musical instrument whose sounds linger for a long period. The strength of touch varies not only the volume, but also the sound from bright to dark, creating rich expressiveness. Clavinova produces deep resonances by using piano sounds that have been accurately sampling for their entire length. Proprietary technology creates smooth and dynamic changes according to the strength of the touch. Additionally, to achieve a performance feel rivaling that of a grand piano, the touch was carefully refined by many pianists who played it and gave their feedback for Yamaha's research and development.
Piano Voices embody the careful attention only a piano manufacturer can give.
The grand piano Voices of a Clavinova were obtained by recording the sounds of a Yamaha concert grand piano that led to the creation of the CFX, the piano selected for a performance by the 2010 winner of the famed International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition. A single piano best suited for recording was selected and then tuned to the finest possible condition by a veteran piano tuner. All the sounds were recorded resulting in a sound that displays not only the beauty of each note, but the harmonized sound of a single piano.
256-note polyphony lets you play without notes dropping-out, especially in dense passages of music.
When you play fast phrases or superimpose chords while pressing the damper pedal, you want to be able to perform without notes dropping out. The Clavinova provides 256-note polyphony so you can enjoy complex works such as those by Liszt or Ravel, which feature numerous pedal presses, with no limitations. As your playing improves over the years, your Clavinova will continue to let you make the most of your abilities.
Diverse piano voices that you can choose to match the piece you want to play
Clavinovas are provided with distinctive piano voices in addition to the piano voices that offer playing response like that of a concert grand piano. These include a piano for ballads that gently resonates the start-up sound, a piano for jazz that adds depth to the sound, and a piano for popular music with bright, rich sound. To ensure that the sound conforms closely to the genre, adjustment of each piano voice focuses on the resonance, or the sound produced when you lift your finger, and other delicate nuances. Each time you play, you can immediately enjoy the perfect piano sound without having to make any adjustments.
Experience real piano touch with Yamaha's "Natural Wood keyboard".
The Clavinova NW (Natural Wood) keyboard could only be made by Yamaha, with woodworking techniques perfected from over a century of building fine acoustic pianos. Like a grand piano, the keys are made of solid wood that has undergone the long drying process required for use in a musical instrument. By selecting only the highest quality sections of each piece of wood, keys that are more resistant to warping and deforming than those of laminated wooden keyboards are created. The keys have three sensors, like the GH3 keyboard, that amplify sensitivity to the pianist playing them. Combined with the solid texture of wood, this provides an outstanding playing experience and performance.
"Synthetic ivory keytops" remain tactile during long performances.
Pianists enjoy a touch that clings firmly to their fingers, just like the ivory keyboards historically used in top-class pianos. Synthetic ivory keytops feature a soft, slightly porous surface that gives keys added grip and natural friction for improved ease in playing, especially during long performances or practice sessions. The keys' smooth, refined texture imparts a feeling of luxury and is easy to clean.
"88-key Linear Graded Hammers" reproduce a unique weight for each key, a first for digital pianos.
Grand piano hammers.
88-key Linear Graded Hammers
Each key in the Clavinova keyboard has a unique weight. On a traditional acoustic piano, the strings are short and narrow in the treble section and get progressively thicker and longer in the bass section. To produce an even sound, the hammers hitting the keys become larger from low to high. Thanks to the 88-key Linear Graded Hammers, this is the first digital piano to precisely recreate the keyboard touch of a grand piano where the weight, touch and return of every key is different. Since the experience is extremely close to that of a grand piano, you can achieve better playing technique.
"Keyboard Stabilizers" enhance the keyboard's durability.
Operation of the key stabilizer
The keyboard must respond perfectly to the touch of your fingers so the notes sound just as you intend. Because the keyboard plays such a critical role, it must allow you to play smoothly and maintain good touch for long periods of time. That's why all 88 keys are equipped with Keyboard Stabilizers. This not only lets you play with a natural touch, it greatly improves the stability and durability of the keys.
Keys have a long distance to the fulcrum offering easy-to-play touch, even to the base of each key.
Differences between ease of playing according to distance to the fulcrum
The keys provide a pleasing touch down to the base, because the distance from the tip of the key to the fulcrum is extremely long. When playing a piece that uses many black keys, even when you press a white key near its base, the key sinks softly, maintaining the delicate nuances of soft and hard key strokes.
"The Tri-Amp System" reproduces all sound ranges more beautifully and clearly.
Tri-Amp System
A good piano lets you hear every sound within the piece clearly and beautifully. Clavinova's Tri-Amp System makes this possible by using dedicated amplifiers to drive three separate speaker systems for the three independent frequency ranges. This method can be appreciated by audiophiles and piano purists alike as it ensures that you will hear all the subtle nuances of your performance.
"The GP Soundboard Speaker" produces broad resonance with the depth of a grand piano.
GP Soundboard Speaker.
When you play a grand piano, you are immersed in the sound because of the broad and deep resonances the soundboard creates. These effects are reproduced by the GP Soundboard Speaker. Because the sound emanates from the back of the piano, you can enjoy three-dimensional sound reminiscent of a grand piano.
The acoustic system produces acoustic piano sound as if the instrument itself is resonating.
Because Yamaha places so much importance on the joy of playing, the speakers, amps and other acoustic systems have been optimized so the player hears nothing but stunning sound during a performance. These musical instrument-like resonances give the impression that the Clavinova is more acoustic than it is digital.
"The GP Response Damper Pedal" provides an operating feel just like that of a grand piano.
Response of GP Response Damper Pedal
The damper pedal is an important piano-playing element because it continuously varies the sound as you press it down. The Clavinova behaves the same way as an acoustic piano by constantly detecting the amount of pedal press or return and finely adjusting the amount of note elongation and reverberation. Additionally, the GP Response Damper Pedal reproduces the typical grand piano feeling, for example less resistance when starting to press and a heavy feeling when the pedal begins to take effect. As a result, players achieve greater control when operating the damper pedal.
Using the pedals provides realistic resonances that accurately convey all sound changes.
Stereo Sustain samples provide the mellow reverberations created as you depress the damper pedal. Damper Resonance similarly produces broad and deep resonances when the pedal is used. The result is realistic sound, just as if you were playing an acoustic piano. You will even hear the subtle changes that occur according to whether the player begins to press the pedal before or after striking a key. You can enjoy playing impressionistic pieces, such as those by Debussy or Ravel, where half-pedal expression is important.
"Intelligent Acoustic Control" provides a full, balanced sound with rich lows and clear highs even at low volumes.
Volume adjustment is convenient for playing at home, where sometimes others may prefer you play softly. You've probably experienced the fact that when the volume is low, it is difficult to hear treble and bass. On a Clavinova, however, the Intelligent Acoustic Control (IAC) function automatically adjusts the sound, so you enjoy proper sound balance even at low volumes. Additionally, the volume dial automatically makes fine adjustments to overall sound of the speaker system (EQ) at low volume. This ability to adjust volume without losing the rich and balanced sound is an exclusive Yamaha benefit, ensuring you always play with the utmost sound quality.
A full selection of basic functions unique to a digital piano such as sound volume adjustment and metronome are provided.
In addition to being compact and not requiring tuning, Clavinova models provide volume adjustment and two headphone jacks so you can listen to your children practice or enjoy playing duets in private. A metronome and other features help you improve your piano skills.
Two recording functions can be used selectively according to your purpose.
[Recording on a Clavinova is simple and speedy]. Recording is a useful way to evaluate your performances. You can record with the touch of a button and even do two-track recording, which lets you record the parts for your two hands separately, then play them simultaneously. You can also store performances on a USB memory device. * * Storage format is SMF. To play the files on a computer, compatible software (such as QuickTime or Windows Media Player) and sound source are required. [Record performances onto USB flash memory so that you can share] your music. By using the USB Audio Recorder, you can record your own performances on to USB flash memory as an audio file. * Because it can be played back without a Clavinova, you can store it on a PC to track and compare your progress or put the recordings on a CD so your family and friends can enjoy them. You can also listen to the files on-the-go by loading them on to portable media players. * Uses WAV storage format.
Wide selection of realistic musical instrument Voices adds variety to your performances.
Along with the piano voices, Clavinova also offers a wide selection of musical instrument voices, including electric piano as Yamaha's CP1, harpsichord, guitar and strings, which you will find many opportunities to use. Two interesting ways of using these voices are Dual and Split. Dual, which means playing two voices simultaneously, provides a rich sound by overlapping the piano sound with strings. Split lets you play different voices with your right hand and left hand, so you can play jazz style by adding a piano melody to a bass sound. By combining the voices in various ways, you can enjoy many different styles of play. The CLP-480 internally stores the XG sound source. If you use compatible music data, you can perform while backed by marvelous accompaniments such as an orchestra.
USB ports allow easy data storage and transfer.
Clavinovas have a USB TO DEVICE port for plugging-in USB memory devices and a USB TO HOST port for connecting to a computer via a single USB cable. They provide a way to conveniently store performance data, and transfer other data between your Clavinova and computer or other Clavinovas.
You can also use it for lessons. Includes 50 famous piano pieces.
The stored pieces are a selection of popular piano pieces. These emotion-filled performances are not only perfect for BGM, they can also be used for lessons. You can listen to them as models, reduce their tempo and play along, or play back only the right hand part so you can practice the left hand part. The inclusion of 50 stored pieces is a nice Clavinova benefit.
Panel Reveal Key Cover hides the operating panel for a more natural acoustic piano look.
The Panel Reveal Key Cover lets you perform with all signs of technology on the control panel discreetly hidden. This adds to the traditional piano-like cabinet design of the CLP-400 Series.
Design captures the essential beauty of a piano. Color variations are available.
Clavinovas are designed to offer the appearance and presence of an acoustic piano. The luxurious polished finish offers a piano-like texture while other color variations complement any room's decor. The CLP Series includes slimline models that fit neatly almost anywhere, and a grand piano-like model with its graceful silhouette.
The finish has a deep and brilliant piano-like luster, affording a feeling of luxury. The coating, which is resistant to scratches as well as to excessive humidity and temperature, is the same as that used to finish grand pianos. The coating process is also the same, and results in a beautiful luster thanks to repeated grinding and polishing by piano craftsmen.
Online service lets you access new Clavinova fun at any time.

The first Clavinova was created in 1983 to allow people to more conveniently enjoy the pleasure of playing a piano. From the first stages of development, Yamaha exercised its ingenuity to reproduce the sound and touch of a grand piano by developing a proprietary FM (Frequency Modulation) Sound Source, new keyboard mechanisms and other innovations. The YP-40 featured not only piano sound, but also the tone colors of 16 instruments including harpsichord, clavichord and guitar. It also provided the Stereo Symphonic Effect, allowing it to offer the power and feeling of depth of a performance in a concert hall or music club.
The CVP-7 was equipped with the piano Auto Bass Chord (ABC) function, the archetype of the highly regarded automatic accompaniment functions of today's CVP Series. At the time, it was a revolutionary function that allowed a player to add an accompaniment simply by holding down chords with the left hand. It also had a ROM Music function that let players call up songs that they liked and play them like an orchestra or ensemble, expanding the fun of playing music. The Guide function, which uses guide lamps to indicate the next key to be struck, also made its debut in this model.
This model marked the first use of the Advanced Wave Memory (AWM) sampling method, which used data obtained by digitally recording the sound of actual musical instruments and processing them with proprietary technologies. This new sound source technology permitted the faithful reproduction of rich textures and beautiful lingering tones, beginning with the delicate sound startup at the moment the key of a grand piano is struck until the sound naturally attenuates.
Its sound source was the AWM Stereo Sampling method based on stereo recording. Creating sound based on data recorded from the left and from the right, it achieved the wide, deep, elegant and realistic tones of a grand piano. The CLP-760 brought further improvements to the AE (Action Effect) keyboard that had first appeared in 1986, which applied the principle of the hammer action of an acoustic piano. As a result, its touch was even closer to that of a grand piano.
The CVP-79A offered 192 different voices (including GM sounds), exceeding the basic assumptions regarding the capabilities of digital pianos. It also came with 100 accompaniment Styles, greatly expanding its breadth of performance expressiveness, and provided an even easier to use Guide function, an LCD display that helped players to make skillful use of its many functions, and an on-board Help function. Great care was taken not only with its functionality, but with its ease of operation.
The feel of grand piano keys when they are struck differs slightly between the bass keys and the treble keys. By introducing the GH (Graded Hammer) keyboard, the CLP-811 was able to reproduce this subtle difference. It also featured AWM Dynamic Stereo Sampling, which employs multi-sampling of the grand piano sound as it changes according to the force with which the keys are struck. This technology is also used by current Clavinova models. With enhanced sound and touch, the expressive force of the Clavinova advanced to a new level.
The CVP-98 was equipped with a large 320 by 240 dot LCD able to display voice, accompaniment Style and song names in a single convenient location. Since all of the important functions could be seen at a glance, the ease with which the instrument could be operated was significantly improved. It was also compatible with the XG format, a sound source standard advocated by Yamaha, and offered a richer choice of sounds, wider interchangeability and future expandability. It made truly dynamic play of music data possible.
As the first model in the CLP Series with a mini-grand piano cabinet, the CLP-555 gave Clavinova fans the authentic sound and touch of a grand piano, as well as a beautifully elegant shape. It also featured a craftsman-built cabinet with deluxe black lacquer finish. Along with the features and convenience of a digital piano, it brought the sound and elegance of the concert hall into owners' homes.
The CVP-600 built upon the success of the CLP-555 by also using a mini-grand piano cabinet. It gave players the genuine sound, touch and look of a grand piano, with a vast array of features that only a digital piano can offer. Proud owners appreciated the gleaming beauty of a traditional grand combined with the versatility of a leading-edge digital piano.
By combining sound sources such as Key-Off Sampling and String Resonance, which record changes in grand piano sound with the movement of the keys, the CVP-209 achieved the delicate change of sounds and sympathetic string resonances at the moment when a finger leaves the key. It also featured 870 sounds, including Premium Voices, which realistically reproduce the sounds of a variety of instruments. In addition, it was the first Clavinova to have a large color LCD with color icons and letters to clearly show notes, song names and accompaniment Styles.
The CLP-170 introduced the GH3 (Graded Hammer 3) keyboard, which was based on the GH keyboard but had three sensors, including Yamaha's proprietary Damper Sensor. This enabled the player to use advanced grand piano techniques such as playing the same note repeatedly with perfect articulation. It was the first Clavinova with iAFC (instrumental Active Field Control), an advanced acoustic technology for reproducing sounds with breadth and depth, just like a stage performance, as well as the sympathetic string resonances that occur when the damper pedal is pressed.
The CVP-309 opened up new ways to enjoy an electronic piano by introducing Internet Direct Connection, for connecting the Clavinova directly to the Internet. This feature lets you select the piece you want to play from among the more than 4,000 pieces that are available, download the registration (sound, style, and effect settings) best suited to the piece, then listen to a sample performance or show the melody, chords or lyrics on the Clavinova display to enjoy playing or listening to the piece. This was also the first model to use the solid wood NW (Natural Wood) keyboard.
As the first Clavinova with a slim body, the CLP-F01 marked a new page in the history of the digital piano. It was not only a pleasure to play and look at, it was also easier to position in a room. With this emphasis on design, it was popular not only with individuals, but found widespread use in public facilities such as hotel lobbies.
In a cabinet finished so it appears to be a grand piano, you have all the diverse functions of the CVP Series. When you close the key cover, it encloses not only the keyboard, but the operating panel as well, providing the appearance of an acoustic piano. It also offers an actual piano soundboard along with state-of-the-art vibro-acoustic technology. Adding Yamaha's highly effective iAFC technology, which delivers sound with the depth of a grand piano, the CGP-1000 achieves extremely realistic and richly resonant sound.
One of Yamaha's finest CFIIIS full concert grand pianos was selected and tuned to the optimum condition. Pure CF Sampling uses all the sounds sampled from this single piano for the piano sound. The CLP-380 therefore produces sound with playing response highly faithful to the sound source. In addition, it is the first model in the CLP Series equipped with Internet Direct Connection, which lets you directly access a special website to select from a huge musical library. The CLP-380 was designed to combine the finest sound, touch and functions developed during the 25 years since the birth of the Clavinova.

Comments about Yamaha clp-480r:
The CLP-480 has excellent sounds and action with plenty of resonance and decay from the built-in speakers. The pedals are responsive and realistic as well. The only feature it does not have would be an escapement simulation although I have another piano that has it (i.e., CLP-990M, which is also reviewed here) as I don't miss this detail in the CLP-480. Overall, it gives a very good playing experience.

Dynamite!! Preview Hits the Net; Feel Bad for Takaya Already
- Written by Dave Walsh
As always, FEG has put together some absolutely epic video packages for this year's Dynamite!! It is split into four parts and each part ranges around 9 minutes or so. You can see, very clearly, who FEG and TBS are appealing to in these video packages. Part 1 is Satoshi Ishii vs. Jerome Le Banner. About 10 seconds of JLB footage is shown.
Part two varies things up a bit, touching upon the freakshow, Shinya Aoki vs. Nagashima, Sakuraba vs. Zaromskis, Takaya's childhood (this is hilarious), which carries over into part 3 and some of Part 4, with 4 being rounded out by Inoki.


text: 2001 Tahoe LT Battery dropping dead. Tracked it thus far...222 milliamp current draw is constant even after several hours. If I pull the 10 amp TBC fuse or just disconnect the battery for a few seconds the normal vehicle sleep mode cuts in at about 2 minutes and the background draw drops to 11 milli amps (perfect). If I turn on the under hood lamp or open a door the cycle restarts as expected but the drain never drops below the 222 mark. Pull the ctsy lp fuse under the hood, no change in the overall behavior. If I go under the dash inside the inadv pwr relay is staying energized, it is warm to the touch even after a long period of time (replaced it to test it, no change). If I pull the inadv pwr relay then the draw drops to about 90 mA, still high but better (the load from the relay is removed). The behavior regarding pulling the TBC fuse or recycling power does not change, two minutes and it drops to 11 mA. I am thinking that the problem is likely in the TBC. It is staying awake due a stuck internal relay that calls the pwradv relay. Once the call for internal lighting or the hood light is made, it does not ever stop. Mind you there are no lights on when the relay is active. Any thought on the matter?

I only make quilts, costumes,and doll clothes for my grandkids...when ask why i do not make (for profit) for others my reply is that i want my grandkids to have unique gifts that no one else will ever receive.
Thank you all for the words of encouragement, videos, photos, etc. Your T Shirt quilts are beautiful! I feel so much better after reading your comments. I NEVER would have considered it if I didn't have the support and assistance of the wonderful people here!
I have made several similar to the one grandmajo made. I don't really like making t-shirt quilts. Just not fun for me. I recently made one for a friend. I had him google tshirt quilt images and choose one. I told him after he chose one I would tell him if I could do it. I gave him a cost to make it which was not really enough for the hours it takes. People who don't sew have no idea. I gave him an estimate of supply costs in addition to my labor charge. I bought the supplies as I have found most non-sewers don't know what to buy. Shop with her if need be. I agree with others to ask her not to let others at work know you are making the quilt for her as you will soon have a t-shirt quilt making job you never intended to have. Several of my friends, friends now want a t-shirt quilt. I gave them the name of someone I know who does have a business. She charges a lot more.
i am in the same situation. I was asked to do a t-shirt quilt for a military member who was previously my Commander/Boss. I was given a stack of shirts, all related to somewhere she had been stationed or something she had been involved with during her military career/travels.. I love this person very much but wonder if i am in over my head. I have never done a t-shirt quilt before (I am a fairly new quilter) but I have some beautiful ladies in my quilting guild that I hope will come to my rescue and give me a hand in the project by guiding me in the right direction.. Thank heaven for quilting friends....They are the best. Wish me luck.... (P.S. I did purchase a book on t-shirt quilting -- hope it helps)
I think I would tell her the number of t-shirts you can use in the quilt. When you see the shirts it can dictate the style of the quilt. Not all t-shirts will fit all styles. Good luck!
Think you will find this rewarding when she sees the finished quilt. Just enjoy the quilting aspect of making it and should you get paid - use it to buy material for a quilt you really want to make for yourself. In other words reinvest!
Another site (for comparative purposes) is www.t-shirt-quilts.com. She is very specific on her site about her delivery times and what you can expect. Her pricing is on the high-end, but I feel that people will value a quilt more if they understand the cost and effort that goes into it. I am working on a t-shirt quilt for my cousin's daughter and I have done a lot of custom placement of the shirts with traditional quilt squares (eg., flying geese, pinwheels) in the sashing. It's an artistic project for me, so I'm willing to put the extra effort in it and don't really expect the compensation for my time and effort. I know they will love it.
I think that you need to change your attitude or your negative attitude will be reflected in your workmanship on the quilt and at work toward this lady. Perhaps you should not have said yes but you did and now either change your attitude or tell the lady you do not want to make the quilt. Just think of the joy that the lady's DD will have when she gets the quilt with all her high school memories. I have not yet made one of these quilts but a friends DH has made several so it can't be that hard. Since you have made one already then the second one may be easier. Do the best job you can with a happy mind and it will be great! As for $$$ take what ever she will give you or ask cheap or free and make this a gift for her daughter also. Remember nothing is perfect!!!!!!! Also remember that "NO" is not a 4 letter word!!
T-shirt quilt blocks can be very stretchy, so please put interfacing behind each one before sewing blocks together and quilting, as you probably already know. Good luck.
She should definitely pay for all the materials at the very least. It's amazing what happens when you let someone "decide" how much to give you. They look at WalMart or remember when fabric was 29 cents a yard and then say something like: "I know this was a lot of work and it's very nice so I definitely think it's worth $25."

lemonade diet pills
The Lemonade Diet Pill is a alternative weight loss and detox program similar to the original Lemonade Diet created by the late Stanley Burroughs. The Lemonade Diet (also called the "The Master Cleanse") was written in the 1940s and continues to be a popular way to lose weight and to detox the body.
However, detox diets like the Lemonade Diet are not for the faint of heart. They can be hard to follow, typically because we are so used to consuming excess food. People experience varying levels of success as their system starts to flush itself of harmful toxins, with the first few days being the hardest. Some people only use the Lemonade Diet for 4-5 days, while others may use it for the two week period.
Users of the Lemonade Diet report a large number of health benefits.
The Lemonade detox and weight loss diet can do the following:
- Dissolve and eliminate toxins that have formed in any part of your system
- Cleanses the kidneys and digestive tract system
- Purifies the bodies cells and glands
- Eliminates toxic waste and hardened material in joints and muscles
- Quickly eliminates excess body weight
Due to this being a "fasting" diet many people struggle with the lack of food and loss of energy at first. If you have a busy lifestyle or a job that requires lots of energy you may be far better using the new Lemonade Diet Pills with much better results
Based on the original Lemonade Diet but without the "fasting" involved, people are quickly finding that they can use the new Lemonade Diet Pill to quickly lose weight, detoxify and cleanse without the nasty side effects of the Lemonade Diet.

The Story of Henry David ThoreauIt's July 4, 1845. A soft-spoken young man named Henry David Thoreau has carefully constructed a small, simple cabin in the woods overlooking Walden Pond. For the next two years, his closest companions will be the chickadees, the woodchucks, and the quiet pines of the Walden Woods. Henry is twenty-eight years old, and his life has not been easy. His brother John—his closest friend and companion—has died. The only woman… Read More

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe—Where in the World Should You Go?
Escape Kit
• A Seven-Night Stay at Your Choice of One of 6,000 Global Properties
• Destinations Include the US, Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and South America, Europe, and India
Bali? Orlando? Ibiza? San Francisco? The gang's all here! With more than 6,000 global properties in destinations like Scotland, Arizona, Colorado, Germany, India, and more, Resort Stay Vouchers offers the best of both (um, all) worlds.
From the crystal-clear water of the Bahamas, Hawaii, and Fiji to the beaches of the Riviera Maya, there are plenty of options for cold-blooded vacationers, while Palm Springs and Las Vegas are just a hop, skip, and jump away for West Coast residents. During the winter, the slopes of Whistler beckon skiers and boarders, and during the spring, Scotland's rolling hills with blooming flowers make for a subdued getaway. However, you may put Kenya's Royal Reserve Beach & Safari Club and The Granja Brasil Resort, just 45 minutes from Rio de Janeiro, on the top of your bucket list.
A few helpful tips: The price doesn't include an all-inclusive package, but Escapees have the option to book at some all-inclusive resorts. Escapees also have the option of upgrading to accommodations that are priced higher than their $1,500 voucher during the booking process. If it turns out that it will just be you on the trip, it's all good—there is no additional fee for single occupancy. And if you need to check out early, that's okay too—you won't be penalized. Some of the participating resorts are vacation rentals or timeshare properties, but you will not be required to listen to any sales pitches while you're on vacation. Ah, bliss. Scope the destinations available here, and bon voyage!

For a 14th consecutive year, hundreds of Hope College students are putting their time and talents into the campus-wide Dance Marathon fundraiser, "giving hope to kids." In the 13 years from 2000 through 2012, Dance Marathon has raised a total of more than $1 million.
Organized by Hope students, the 24-hour event is conducted on behalf of Helen DeVos Children's Hospital in downtown Grand Rapids, both to raise funds and to build awareness of the hospital's work. It will be held at the college's Dow Center, with the main portion of the marathon beginning with a kickoff celebration on Friday, March 8, at 7 p.m.
A variety of events have been scheduled to punctuate the marathon, including testimonies by families served by the hospital, various performances by student and local groups, the "So You Hope You Can Dance" marathon featuring faculty and staff, and the popular annual lip-sync. The total raised will be announced during a celebration that will begin at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 9, as the Dance Marathon's 5 p.m. conclusion approaches.
Members of the public are invited to observe at any point during the marathon.
Activities on behalf of the marathon began shortly after the beginning of the fall semester and have involved nearly 30 student organizations. More than 600 Hope students will be participating in the March 8-9 Dance Marathon itself as dancers or morale boosters or in a variety of other roles.
Additional information about Dance Marathon and the Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, and about how to make a donation, is online at hope.edu/dancemarathon.

- One Appetizer at the Brewster Inn Restaurant
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
A charming lakeside suburb of Syracuse, the village of Cazenovia boasts a bevy of architectural styles dating back to the late 1700s. From Greek Revival mansions to Gothic cottages, the area's one-of-a-kind streetscape attracts everyone from New York City's elite to families seeking a secluded retreat. As beautiful covered in snow as it is in fall colors or spring blooms, this history-rich haven is also home to centuries-old oaks and wetlands teeming with birds and fish.
The Digs
Built in 1890 as the summer home of an oil magnate and financier, The Brewster Inn exudes luxury. From mahogany floors and staircases to antique furnishings and intricate rugs, the property embraces the elegance of a bygone era. Plus, with amenities like private bathrooms and Wi-Fi, rooms offer all the conveniences of the present. Drink in the lake views before indulging in a glass of wine in the candlelit dining room. Prepared under the direction of a sensational chef, entrées like truffle-encrusted bigeye tuna and New Zealand rack of lamb rival those prepared in metropolitan kitchens.
The Diversions
Cazenovia Lake attracts visitors year-round with its excellent fishing, swimming, and ice skating. Here, you can hike to the top of Chittenango Falls or feel the spray of the 167-foot waterfall from the footbridge. With more than two dozen sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it seems every structure in Cazenovia tells a story. Tour Lorenzo, the sprawling estate of the founder of the town, or cruise the tree-lined campus of Cazenovia College.
"The interior is gracious and elegant without being stuffy. Our room was nicely decorated in keeping with the antique-y feel of the inn and had a wonderful tiled and marbled bathroom."-- TripAdvisor

Yes, this 3-pound, seeded, very attractive loaf seems to call for everything but the kitchen sink, but it's worth it! Not only is it high in fiber, but the blend of seeds and grains lends it a wonderfully nutty flavor, aroma and texture. The boule is baked in a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven or similar ovenproof casserole dish. A heavy container with a tight-fitting lid works best, as the steam trapped inside the pot helps crisp the crust. Keep in mind that in a very wide-bottomed pot the loaf will sp

Step 1
Mix dough: Grind rice in a blender or coffee mill (a food processor won't work) until mostly powdery but with some fine bits remaining. Transfer to a 6-quart (or larger) bowl. Thoroughly stir in 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour, 2 cups bread flour, oats, wheat germ, 2 tablespoons each pepitas (or sunflower seeds), flaxseeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds, the salt and yeast. Thoroughly whisk 2 1/2 cups ice water and honey in a medium bowl. Vigorously stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides and mixing just until the dough is thoroughly blended. The dough should be moist and somewhat sticky, but fairly stiff. (The seeds will absorb moisture, stiffening the dough as it stands.) If the mixture is too dry, stir in just enough additional ice water to facilitate mixing, but don't overmoisten. If the dough is too wet, stir in just enough bread flour to stiffen slightly. Lightly coat the top with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Step 2
First rise: Let the dough rise at room temperature (about 70°F) for 12 to 18 hours; if convenient, stir once partway through the rise. For convenience (and improved flavor), you may refrigerate the dough for 3 to 12 hours before starting the first rise.
Step 3
Second rise: Generously coat a 4- to 6-quart Dutch oven (or similar ovenproof pot) with oil. Coat the bottom and sides with 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour. Vigorously stir the dough to deflate it. If it is soft, stir in just enough flour to yield a firm but moist dough (it should be fairly hard to stir). Transfer the dough to the pot.
Step 4
Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour over the dough; pat and smooth it in. Firmly tuck the sides underneath all the way around to form a round ball of dough; dust with more flour as needed. Brush the loaf with egg substitute (or egg white) and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons pepitas (or sunflower seeds) and 1 tablespoon each flaxseeds, poppy seeds and sesame seeds over the top (it will be heavily coated). Using well-oiled kitchen shears or a serrated knife, cut two 1/2-inch-deep concentric circles in the top of the loaf, one about 2 1/2 inches out from the center, the other 3 1/2 inches out. Put the lid on the pot or tightly cover with foil.
Step 5
Let rise at warm room temperature until the dough is double the deflated size, 1 1/4 to 2 1/4 hours. (For an accelerated rise, see Tip.)
Step 6
20 minutes before baking: Position a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 475°F.
Step 7
Bake, cool, slice: Reduce oven temperature to 450°. Lightly spritz or sprinkle the loaf with water. Bake, covered, on the lower rack until the top is lightly browned, 50 to 60 minutes. Uncover and bake until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on the tip (or until an instant-read thermometer registers 204-206°), 15 to 25 minutes longer. Cool in the pot on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the loaf out on the rack and let cool to at least warm before slicing.

UTSA softball team
UTSA blasts UTA, 8-3, for SLC Tournament title, NCAA berth
By Kyle Stephens
UTSA Sports Information Director
(May 9, 2006)--Freshman Rachel Rackley went 4-for-4 with five runs batted in and senior Amanda Horton blasted two home runs as the UTSA softball team won the Southland Conference Tournament title, 8-3, over Texas-Arlington Sunday afternoon at Demon Diamond in Natchitoches, La.
The Roadrunners, three-time defending SLC regular season champions, earn their second NCAA Tournament berth in the past three seasons and improve to 37-12 on the season. They have won 21 of their last 22 games and finished off a 5-0 season sweep of UTA (32-22).

Entering the championship game Sunday, UTSA had scored 14 runs off eight home runs in its first three games, all victories. The Roadrunners blasted five more long balls -- two apiece by Horton and Rackley and one by junior Aimee Murray -- to set an SLC Tournament record with 14 round-trippers over the weekend. For the season, UTSA has tied the school and SLC single-season record with 103 home runs. The Roadrunners are averaging 2.10 home runs per game, a mark well ahead of UTSA's NCAA-record 1.87 average posted in 2004.
Back-to-back home runs by Murray to left and Horton to right gave UTSA a quick 2-0 lead after the top of the first inning. Rackley launched her first long ball of the game to dead center field in the second to push the lead to 3-0.
A walk to Horton, a single to left by junior Stevi Simpson and another walk to freshman Brittany Cantu loaded the bases with one out for Rackley, who launched a mammoth grand slam way over the fence in left field to extend the lead to 7-0.
Horton added her second blast in the top of the seventh -- another towering shot to right field -- for her league-leading 18th home run of the year.
Meanwhile sophomore right-hander Amanda Nikolenko cruised through the first six innings, facing two above the minimum in six scoreless frames.
UTA finally broke through in the bottom of the seventh as Jenna Fortune launched a three-run homer to left field that scored Courtni Anderson and Dee Jay Nelson, but Nikolenko and the UTSA defense shut the door with a fly ball and two pop-ups.
Nikolenko won her 13th straight decision and improved to 23-5 on the season, allowing three runs, two earned, on four hits. Laura Jones struck out eight, but was touched for eight runs on 10 hits in falling to 11-7 on the season.
The Roadrunners will find out their NCAA Regional assignment on Sunday, May 14. The Regional will be Friday-Sunday, May 19-21, at campus sites to be determined.

[quote user="flamethrower"][quote user="greenca190"][quote user="flamethrower"]They never pick the Giants. Why? Because of the fact that they are trying not to be Biased towards East Coast teams. Yet, they always pick a team from the East Coast, and in the North part to win it all. They can't pick the Giants. Because if they do. It shows. I bet they picked the Patriots to win the AFC also.
Holy crap. This is one of the worst posts I've ever seen.
They don't want to seem east coast bias, so they pick east coast teams? Whaaaaaat?[/quote]What I was saying. Was that the Giants will never be picked by ESPN. They want the Patriots to win it all. They are still mad that the Giants beat the Patriots a few years back. They were really on that 19-0 bandwagon. They don't like the Giants. The only time they ever picked the Giants to do anything. They were disapointed.
But isn't new England in the north east...?

Desktop Amps item created by Jason Stoddard, Jun 9, 2010
Pros - smooth, plenty of power
Cons - non I found
In my opinion which admittedly isn't the best one because I don't have much amp experience. But I would call the Asgard an extremely good buy at $250. The fit and finish of this amp is very good and is built for the long haul. Hefty little thing that pumps out plenty of power.
My k601's could pair better but this amp is doing them justice for what I am willing to spend.
My ATH M50's sound the best I think i'll ever hear them, out of the Asgard. Somewhat flabby bass tightened up nicely and they are now just plain a treat to put on.
The amp is very smooth and fairly non-analytical, there is plenty of detail but if your looking to work with studio mixing where you need to hear everything i wouldn't look here. This amp will remain in my possession for a long time.
Take a serious look, besides the interesting name the people behind it are very pleasant and great to do business with.

Shakespeare and Modern Popular Culture (Book Title)
Shakespeare and Star Trek, Shakespeare and Schwarzenegger, Shakespeare and rap, Shakespeare and Superman. What's up with that? In this provocative book, UNH associate professor of English Douglas Lanier explores how and why it is that Shakespeare, perhaps more than any other major literary figure, is alluded to or adapted in so many different ways in contemporary popular culture, and for so many different audiences. His book addresses the history of Shakespeare's interaction with popular culture and examines examples from many different mass media, including film, TV, comic books, popular fiction, and music. He takes up such subjects as popular representations of Shakespeare the man, tourist destinations and popular performance of Shakespeare, and the function of Shakespeare in advertising. Using this book as a basis, Lanier deftly unpacks the cultural baggage labeled with the "Shakespeare" tag. He invites the audience to think more fully about cultural production, and more seriously about the effects of popular culture on traditional high art.

What it means to be Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Community!
My family has been touched by The Yellow Ribbon Community. My Uncle Jeff just retired from the Air Force, but before doing so, he was deployed twice. Each time he had to leave his wife and three children. It was not an easy choice for him, but he knew when he signed up that he would need to protect and serve our country in many ways and this was just another one of those ways. It was hard for him to be gone, to fight for America, to fight for our way of life, he went each time and luckily for us, he came back safe and sound both times.
However, it was those that he left behind that needed the shoulder to cry on, the hand to hold, the child to play with and a friend to talk to who would understand this difficult situation. It was not like he could jump in his car and come home for a few hours. He was needed elsewhere, but The Yellow Ribbon Community, they are the ones who took a giant step forward and helped my aunt and cousins when they needed it the most.
Who among us has not needed to have someone to talk to in the middle of the night and tell us it would be all right? What child wouldn't want to continue to live a carefree childhood without worrying if Daddy would be coming home? My cousins relied on my Aunt Wendy for their daily activities, for the normal little things that we all take for granted ... getting driven to school, grocery shopping, going out to eat, playing with friends, having a sleep over ... it was her job to keep life "normal" ... and she succeeded, but it was not without some wonderful "behind the scenes" help! She had the help of her community and the other Air Force wives were there to lend a hand, but for the most part, she was a single parent for a year. Twelve long months. It may not seem like a long time, but let me tell you, it can feel like a lifetime when a loved one is gone. It was not an easy thing for her to do and she did not want to complain to my uncle but she needed help. That is when she found her little slice of heaven, The Yellow Ribbon Community.
From potluck dinners to movie nights, from reading stories in the library to planning a picnic, from swimming parties and painting toenails — big or small this program stepped up, stepped in and stepped forward. Bringing strength to a mom when she needed it, fun to a family who didn't think they could have any and laughter when a loved one was fighting a war so many thousands of miles away. It was an emotional roller coaster that my extended family was on, and for a long time, there didn't seem to be a way to stop the ride until the Yellow Ribbon Community stepped in!
America is a force to be reckoned with, but the YRC has made us stronger like the mighty redwood and flexible like the willow. We band together when needed, pick up the pieces when we have to, YRC is the one constant of togetherness. Near or far, we are never alone. There is always a friendly face, a helping hand, a gentle smile, a big hug when needed, and a special message for each of us. We do not need to cry in the dark or try to be brave; instead we gather ourselves up and share our doubts, our hopes, our fears and our dreams with each other. We carry on each day, hoping and praying that our military men and women will be safe and sound and home soon. And while they may be fighting wars across the world, we are fighting our own and winning with the help of The Yellow Ribbon Community!
