Crisp attack. Sparkling tone. Clean harmonies. This is the birth of a new series of grand pianos that builds on the legacy of Yamaha's CFX concert grand piano.
The Legacy of the CFX Continues
Preserving tradition is not the same thing as refusing to change; rather, it is from the ongoing search for perfection that traditions emerge.
And when it comes to the tradition of crafting a grand piano, there is a sound, a tone to which only those who strive constantly to outdo themselves can aspire. For almost half a century, Yamaha's world-renowned C Series grand pianos have continued through a gradual process of refinement. The CFX full concert grand piano was built from the knowledge, techniques, and experience gained during this long period. Craftsmen poured everything they new into the creation of this instrument, seeking to attain sonic perfection and achieving bold new steps in piano design. The CX Series extends this work further, providing a clear sound with a clean attack, sparkling tone, and transparent harmonies, all encased in an elegant, flowing form.
The end result is a series of instruments that is refined in tone, yet bold in design—the product of a dedication to innovation that allows Yamaha to remain true to its musical heritage. CX Series pianos represent progress that is commensurate with Yamaha's 125th anniversary year - progress that will transform any room in which you play into a concert hall.

CX Series pianos feature a thickened back frame for improved support, providing a rich, resonant tone.
One of the most important factors in achieving a rich tone is the support provided within the instrument. When playing powerful fortissimo the force exerted on the instrument causes it to bend slightly, losing energy. The part of the piano that accepts this force and transforms it into deep reverberation is called the back frame, which could be likened to the skeleton in a human body. On the C3X for example, this back frame is approximately 20% thicker than on other pianos, providing significantly improved support, and reflecting the considerations on which the CX Series has been completely redesigned.
The new soundboard resonates with the emotions of the performer.
A violin is built around a beautiful body with three-dimensional swellings and a delicately curved shape, which is similar to the three dimensional concave design in a piano soundboard called the "crown." The manufacture of this crown is pivotal to the crafting of any piano, and is thus of paramount importance to piano engineers in addressing the problem of how to transmit the vibrations of the strings from the soundboard into the surrounding air efficiently. Yamaha has taken experience accumulated through many years of crafting pianos and combined it with unsurpassed engineering ability to ensure that the soundboard always provides superb projection. The resulting design capitalizes on physical phenomena unique to the craft of piano-making, to create a soundboard assembly with a structure that allows it to vibrate easily, something that would not have been possible without the deep understanding of the traditional art of piano crafting that goes hand-in-hand with Yamaha's experience and engineering know-how. The same techniques developed for gluing the soundboard, ribs, and bridge in the CFX are used for the C3X and above—models which require a great deal of projection—and the process of installing the resulting soundboard assembly into the piano body has been investigated carefully. This has resulted in dramatically improved projection and the unprecedented response that performers demand.
Revolutionary new music wire offers beautiful sustain and harmony.
It is music wire that actually creates sound of a piano. While affected by its matching with the hammers, soundboard and body of the piano, music wire has a profound effect on the timbre and sustain of the instrument. The CX Series utilizes music wire that produces a rich sound with a full complexity of overtones in its middle and upper registers. Coupled with the support from a solid foundation, this gives CX Series pianos a rich, harmonic sound.
Expertise in frame making shines through in robust quality.
The frame in a modern piano must be able to withstand a total string tension in excess of twenty tons; not only does the frame work together with the wooden body to support the string tension, but it has a profound effect on the instrument's sound. Yamaha makes its own frames, relying on a method of casting referred to as the "vacuum process," developed over many years to create some of the best piano frames in the world. During this time we have built up a storehouse of knowledge on factors such as the manner in which controlling the temperature and composition of casting, and even the coating used on the frame itself, affects the acoustic characteristics of the piano. This is a major reason that Yamaha is able to ensure reliable quality when crafting our pianos.
Hammers based on those of the CFX Series.
Great hammers are essential to producing a beautifully expressive, malleable sound. Yamaha, unlike most other piano manufacturers, produces most of its own high-quality components, and is constantly looking for new ways to use the abilities developed through doing so to give our piano hammers tonality, resilience, and power. The CX Series has also benefitted from the results of this research and development, and utilizes the same felt as the CFX, adjusted to match the size of each instrument in the series. This ensures that all CX Series pianos possess a clear range of tonal colors and a nuanced, expressive sound.
Voicing and regulation breathes life into the piano.
Pianos offer pianists only a limited amount of freedom; indeed, apart from the pedals, the pianist's scope for expression is limited to the 10 mm travel of each of the 88 keys on the keyboard. Even so, the combination of the pedals with the speed and velocity applied to the keys produces a range of tonal changes so broad that they cannot be reproduced with current digital technology. This is the true soul of an acoustic instrument, allowing the pianist to obtain an incredible amount of expression from just 10 mm of key travel. That is precisely why Yamaha devotes so much time voicing their pianos so that the intentions of the pianist are conveyed to the strings. In regulation, a craftsman adjusts the movement of the action so that it accurately transmits every nuance of the pianist's touch. In voicing, the hammers, which cause the strings to emit sound, are pricked with a pick to create a balanced tone that will respond beautifully when played. Even today, in an era when technology continues to evolve rapidly, these tasks remain the domain of skilled craftsmen who must ensure the high quality of these instruments, and are the main reason that Yamaha has remained one of the top piano makers in the world.
A design that unifies piano with pianist, inheriting the legacy of the CF series.
CX Series pianos feature a completely revamped design. Following in the footsteps of the CF Series concert grand, the CX Series design features simple, elegant lines, focusing on the characteristic legs of the piano in doing away with any excess ornamentation. This elegance is set off by a solid pedal box that allows performers to depress the pedals with as much power as they want, one aspect of a philosophy epitomizing "functional design" that allows pianists to become one with their instrument as they play. In order to provide the best playability possible, CX Series grand pianos offer white keys made of Ivorite™, which has a feel, color, and absorbency very similar to natural ivory, while natural ebony has been used for the black keys.
The peace of mind that comes with a Yamaha grand piano
- The CX Series is equipped with a lid prop stopper to prevent your fingers from being caught when the piano lid closes unexpectedly. - The fallboard is fitted with a soft landing mechanism that means you no longer have to worry about the fallboard shutting on your fingers unexpectedly.
Audio & Video
Full Concert Piano CFX在充分发挥长期积累的经验的基础上,为实现理想的琴音而对设计进行了大胆的修改,声音透彻,音色灿烂,和声柔美。CX系列中更是充分融合了长期积累的钢琴制作诀窍和技术以及对发音的明确思想。
从2012年回顾历史,将近半个世纪前,雅马哈钢琴也有一个重大的飞跃,那就是1967年,推出了Concert Grand CF,从此雅马哈钢琴闻名世界,随后又完成了三角钢琴 C系列。C系列的C,取自Conservatory即音乐学院的首个字母,这个字母也标示着雅马哈三角钢琴对质量的精益求精。此后,C系列作为三角钢琴的基准广为人知,随着多次的改良,不断得到全世界的喜爱,而现在,又是该系列诞生以来首次重大的改良。正如从CF向CFX的提升,在公司创立125周年之际,C系列又实现了向CX系列的飞跃,这是雅马哈三角钢琴迈向新高度的明证。
能够发出丰富多彩的琴音,与CF系列采用同样的crown making方法制作。
音板是钢琴音响的源头,具有被成为"crown"的美妙的弯曲构造。crown的制作方法决定了乐音向空间的扩展方法,是钢琴制作中最重要的部分。雅马哈一直不懈地探索回声丰富的crown的制作方法,理解和体会传统的钢琴制作,同时采用最先进的技术,利用两方面的优势,取得了坚实的成果。特别是要求丰富余韵的C3X以上的型号中,音板、响棒、调音钉的粘结方法都做了改善,并采用了与CF系列相同的crown making方法,由此实现了更丰富的余韵和更出色的回声效果。
为达到高度的演奏效果,CX系列的键盘上,采用触感和色调接近天然象牙性质、具有吸湿性的Ivory Light(*)做白键,黑键则采用黑檀风格的天然木材。

Developer Interview
The aim of the CX Series: A bright sound that sings
We had three objectives in the design of the new CX Series; solid support for the bracing, a soundboard that vibrates as freely as as possible, and a tone that matches the directionality of the sound produced from the instrument's body. This directionality is fundamentally the same as that of Yamaha's flagship CFX concert grand; in fact you could say that they were developed based on the same concept.
For the C3X and upwards - larger models that demand a certain level of volume - we improved the rigidity of the bracing to provide stable support, and created a design that allowed the soundboard that sits on top of the bracing to vibrate freely. For the sound, we utilized a new type of string, and carefully tested the quality of the hammer felt.
Our aim was to achieve a sound that would "sing" brightly. A unique aspect to the CX Series is the focus that we applied to those areas that are vital to a piano, such as the construction of the soundboard, the tone that emerges from it, and the exterior of the instrument. Of all the lineup changes that Yamaha pianos have undergone over the last couple of decades, this series represents the most broad-reaching improvement, and as a result the musciality of these pianos has been greatly enhanced.
We wanted to craft a soundboard that would want to sing and produce sound
Just as with the CF series, our research emphasized the control of internal stresses within the soundboard, and we were able to make some significant advances. The resulting sound offers a quick response, bright tone, and clean harmonies. We believe that improving the response of the soundboard, that is, improving the efficiency of its acoustic radiation, makes the most of these qualities, and offers a broader range of expression.
Basically, we want to provide instruments that want to sing, instruments that want to deliver sound. Rather than instruments that you really have to work to get a sound out of, we wanted to craft pianos with a soundboard and body that would actually want to sing, to make sound. In that sense, this soundboard, with its new structure, responds well to any input and we believe that it offers a much broader range of expression in its response.
Strings that give pure harmonies; hammer felt with a rich tone.
Next, we had to decide upon what tone we should give this "singing" body, and this soundboard with its superb response. Two of the major factors in this sound were the strings and hammers. For this series, we selected music wire (strings) with beautiful overtones and clean harmonies, good sustain, and a tone that carries. We obtained sheets of felt, which we refer to as "raw cloth," and crafted the piano hammers in Yamaha. The felt used in the CX Series is checked carefully and is extremely resilient, giving it a full, deep tone. The combination of this music wire and hammer felt have further enhanced the uniqueness of CX Series pianos.
Designers are constantly driven by the desire to craft even better instruments.
A piano is an extremely complex system made up of a large number of parts. Moreover, the sound of a piano is significantly affected by variations in the timber and natural materials from which it is made, and by the conditions in which it is played - even rainy weather will change the way a piano sounds. The sound of a piano will also change depending on who tunes it. When designing a delicate instrument like the piano, which is affected by so many variables, the key is to minimize the effect of factors fuch as the enviornment. It is therefore essential to understand how to address these factors, as well as to possess the craftsmanship and production skills to create instruments that do not vary.
It is also important to evaluate pianos correctly during the development process. This is not something that we do ourselves; instead we have top-flight pianists play them and offer their opinions. This sometimes reveals aspects that we, as developers were not aware of, so we emphasize the accumulation of this information. Making even a single mistake in this process can sometimes result in a piano with many good points receiving a bad evaluation. In order to keep the scope for mistakes at a minimum, I think that it is important to have the technical ability to obtain the same result from a production process - no matter how many times it is carried out - in order to obtain a positive and accurate evaluation of those good points.
However, I don't think that that any designer is likely to say, that an instrument is perfect and that they are completely satisfied." Instruments exist within the context of musical expression, and music itself has no limits. If you think about all the different varieties of music, it's almost impossible for a single instrument to be "the best." Even now, I often find myself thinking, "hmmm... if I had only things this way this instrument would have been something great," or, "if I could find a way for the instrument to help the performance with this kind of nuance, it would be more musically expressive." As we develop these pianos, we designers always have an image of a much, much better instrument; there is probably no end to our drive to achieve more.

Designer Interview
With the CFX we wanted to break down grand piano stereotypes and conventions.
When designing the CFX, Yamaha's new flagship model, we were attempting to achieve two things. The first was to emphasize the fundamental attraction of the grand piano by honing its performance, and the other was to show the innovation of a modern piano. We hoped to use these steps to break down the traditional stereotypes and conventions associated with grand piano design.
The concept behind the CF Series is "Beauty and Power." This concept was intended to take the rich, expressive, beautiful tone of the these pianos, ranging from the most delicate pianissmo to resonant, powerful fortissimo, and convey it to the farthest corners of any concert hall. We felt that the projection of the design should ideally be unified with the projection of the instrument's sound, and thus crafted clear, powerful shapes for the sides of the instruments in order to convey an impression of exquisite sound to the audience. This resulted in a design that draws the attention of every member of the audience to the external appearance of the CFX. Although the destinctive shape of the case side arms showcases the innovation of the CFX, from the performer's point of view the number of elements in the instrument's form has been reduced, inspiring them through the combination of an increased feeling of space and freer perceptions. Accordingly, the design employs the viewpoints of both the performer and the audience in enhancing the beauty of the fingers and form of the pianist.
The pedal box has been constructed using a new design featuring two legs inserted into a box. This innovative structure is strong enough to withstand a pianist's full pressure on the pedals, while at the same time reflecting the innovation of the CFX in an entirely new shape. Furthermore, any extraneous elements of the shape have been removed from the instrument as a whole, so that it embodies the idea of a sound that has been refined down to the bare essentials; a new configuration in which in which all parts are connected with a refined balance. With a grandeur and dignity befitting a full concert grand, and a unique silhouette that conveys the presence of the CFX to the furthest corners of any hall, I believe that we have been able to achieve the modern grand piano design that Yamaha was looking for.
At the same time, we were able to imbue the design with Yamaha's strong desire to always remain of the forefront of the modern age.
The CX Series places priority on the viewpoint of the pianist, achieving innovation as a modern piano
The CFX concert grand piano, and the CX Series - Yamaha's core grand piano models - have been designed with entirely different pianists and situations in mind. However, in each and every piano that Yamaha makes, the goal of creating a truly modern piano design remains the same. This is evident in our efforts with the CX Series to remove any extraneous design elements, and to refine and reconstruct the connection and balance in areas such as the shape of the side boards, the feet and legs, and the legs and pedal box. While one of the important characteristics of the CX Series lies in the elimination of surplus ornamentation from the case arms, this design philosophy has been applied throughout the series in areas such as the pedal box and the ends of the legs. Although conventional pianos employ older architectural styles, the CX Series feautures no such elements, and has instead been refashioned in a modern style. This follows the new design trend that the CFX set for Yamaha pianos.
a new tuning fork mark and model number logo
However, unlike the CFX, which was designed to be used in concerts, the CX Series is intended for use by families, as practice instruments for conservatories, or for small concerts in university auditoriums, and thus features an external design that stresses the point of view of the pianist rather that that of the audience. The CX Series has no need of the sideboard construction of the CFX - an instrument which is built to project sound - and thus achieves an elegant simplicity through a combinination of the traditional shape of a grand piano with both curved and straight lines. This approach emphases the series' flat mirror black surfaces around the case arms, which I believe showcases the appeal of the high level of quality of pianos made in our Kakegawa factory. Moreover, the frame features a new tuning fork mark and model number logo that illustrate the high quality of the instruments. I think that details such as these present an image of the refined feel of the entire piano.
A major factor in the design of the CX Series was the success of our flagship model, the CFX, which is why I was confident that the modern piano design we created would be well received. While in the past there had been worries that changing the image of the product too much would not be well received by our customers, we were able to alter this thinking, and received the go-adhead to alter as much as we want. With the CX Series as well, I think that we have achieved a design that represents our true intentions.

Upcycled Estate Sale Bench
After cleaning off all of the dust and cobwebs, I gave it a few coats of flat white spray paint.
Once that was dry, I printed out this great image from The Graphics Fairy. I've seen people using it for everything from a Lazy Susan to a coffee table so I knew it would fit perfectly on my my bench.
I used graphite paper to stencil it onto the seat of the bench. It's my second time using graphite paper and I'm finally getting the hang of it. My advice: use a pen when tracing and try not to lean on the paper when tracing. I had a few smudges that I tried to cover up with some acrylic paint.
I found the perfect spot for her in the corner of my tea room.

Cute bench - I also struggles with the graphite paper - and when I was done, rather than trying to paint over the smudges, I smudged some of the graphite all over the rest of the item - it made it look a bit aged! Then covered it with a spray acrylic.
Hasn't our NY weather been just perfect? Today I have all my windows open and it is like a summer day - finally!!

I get migraines a few days before my period starts. Is it common to have migraines as part of PMS?
– Alaire*
Yes. Lots of women who have migraines get them as part of their PMS symptoms. Doctors believe that changing hormone levels are to blame for this type of headache, which is known as a menstrual migraine.
Take some steps to try to stop these headaches so you feel better. You could start by taking an over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen to see if that works. If you often get headaches a few days before your period, try taking the medication for a few days around that time, even if your headaches haven't started yet. Doing this might help you avoid getting a headache. If a headache does come on, sometimes a cool cloth or ice pack wrapped in a towel can help.
If these things don't work for you, or if your headaches are severe enough that you miss school or other activities, talk to your doctor. He or she may recommend a prescription medication or refer you to a headache expert.

Großzügige Wohnung, sehr freundliche und sehr hilfsbereite Vermieter. Die Wohnung ist schön eingerichtet, die Küche perfekt ausgestattet! Der Kieselstrand ist gleich gegenüber, zum Wasser ist es ein Katzensprung. Vielen Dank
Thank you again when we got to spend a lovely holiday at your apartment . The apartment is a great location close to the sea .All work again brilliantly. Ivanka is always so friendly and positive.I can wholeheartedly recommend it to others. We were 4 adults and 1 child (10 months).
Large Apartment with nice terrace and ocean view. Everything what you need. We had a great time with 2 adults and 2 children. Trogir and Split are not far away, easy to get there.
A Big and nice Apartment with modern kitchen. The owner was Kind and very nice.
We greatly enjoyed our stay. Ivanka is very responsive and hospitable and took care immediately of some issues that we had with the wifi. The living room/kitchen and terrace of the apartment are directly overlooking the seaside, the kitchen is well equipped. The airport, Trogir and even Split are a short car ride away and there is plenty to see and do. Can recommend this place for a holiday break and would definitely stay there again.
Very pleasant and caring landlady. If needed , although a taxi, Ivanka organized matter immediately .
I highly recommend Ivanka and her apartment.
We stayed in Ivankas apartment during three weeks in july 2014. The apartment was perfect, with easy and swift access to the beach, barbecue on the wonderful terrace, wifi and aircondition. This is, however, not what sets this experience apart from previous stays in holiday apartments. During our stay we were invited to a birthday party, we were supplied with produce from the family's garden, offered to use the new canoe, firewood for the barbecue to name but a few aspects of the wonderful hospitality that was shown us. Ivanka is a fantastic host, and she is well backed up by her husband, daughter, grandson and not to forget the wonderful grandfather who lives in the top floor. We will always be thankful for Ivankas presence and her wonderful support when we needed it and asked for it. It is a truly unique experience, and we hope that more guests get the opportunity to take part of this.
Ivanka and her family offered us brilliant holiday. She took care of us so perfectly that we feel like we were her family. And the apartment was even
better than the pictures introduced. Hopefully we'll visit there again.
Ivanka's apartment is just as in the uploaded pictures; it's very spacious and furnished to cater for all the needs a guest could have during their holiday stay. Bring a jumper for the evenings if you visit outside the summer season as it does cool down during the evenings. The apartment provides a lovely base from which to explore the Dalmatian coast and hinterland and during the summer season it should be lovely to cool down in the sea from which you are separated only by the local island road. We visited in early April so didn't jump into the sea here although it was warm enough to take the plunge into the amazingly blue sea during a day trip to Brac. Just one of the destinations easily reached from this base.
The highlight however is Ivanka herself. She's incredibly helpful and available to sort out any little problems you may encounter during your stay. Ivanka received a phone call from what turned out to be the captain of the Brac–Split ferry who was trying to track down the owner – I – of a mobile phone that had been found on the ferry. Ivanka jumped into her car and drove the 40-km-or-so roundtrip to Split ferry port to meet the captain and pick up my phone. She returned from Split a couple of hours after we had returned ourselves and by which point I had noticed my loss and to my absolute amazement pulled my phone out of her jacket! What a relief – our holiday pictures and numerous others from previous trips thought lost were safe! Thank you again Ivanka!

hi ! i build a chest display but i dont have the small program for make the turned out (sorry for my poor english) where i can find this program ?
thanks !
hi ! i build a chest display but i dont have the small program for make the turned out (sorry for my poor english) where i can find this program ?
thanks !
no answer ???
i have the electronic part but for this chest display work same of that i posted, i need the small program to command the systeme .
If I knew more about the electronics side I would help out. Sorry.
PM Shackman, I believe he sells the programmed chips. I will be asking for one as well
thanks men ! i pm Shackman
hey dark amon
i went to tk409's website and he had a great idea for the chest display. using a bicycle light (you can get at walmart) and ...well he explained it better than i could...so i would check him out.It was a cheap and easy solution.
yes i know this solution but i make the same systeme of the shakman's electronical chest display but i dont have the small program to active it ! i dont change of chest display because i cant found the small program for active it !
You are going to need to write a small bit of code and flash the chip with it. I think Shackman sells the pre-programmed chips for 15 bucks or so.
thanks but i dont know how did i do because i m a zero in this thing ! bit of code... i have never idea what is it.... i have a great difficult to use my computeur ....Buckeye_01 said:
if any one can help me i m very happy !
I PM shackman but no answer !
thank you very much for your help !
I hate to sound harsh, but no one is going to just give you the code for the animation. Your best bet is to read as much as you can on assembly, build a simple programmer, buy a chip or 2, and try until you get it right. I'm not flaming or anything, but its not 'just' gonna happen for ya bro. Heck, I can't even get anyone to measure thier board for me!
i can buy this program ? but no body proposed me to sell this program !
thanks for your help !
thanks !
Check ebay.
TK409 occasionally puts completed chest displays up for auction / sale
go to http://www.tk409.com/fett.html
he has some for sale... easiest way to go... and it's super quality!!
Excusez-moi, mais mon français n'est pas parfait.
Mon exposition de poitrine est juste une feuille de chear de plastique avec non électrique, peut-être j'essaierai d'installer électrique plus tard.
I will eventually sit down and try to write the program, but I've been out of it for awhile, so I'm sure it would take me time to re-learn. I probably won't do it till my costume gets farther along, which will be 2012 by the rate I'm going I would try and find Shackman'm email address or something. I heard he was selling chips for like $15 or so. It's a good deal, probably worth it to me, so I don't have the spend the time to try and do it. Plus, he is getting a little $ for his time to write it.
thanks men !mrgr8ness said:
15 US dollars ? i accept to pay that !
but thats the tricky part :-)
tk409's is ready to go... just stick a battery and you done
yes but it's expensive ! i make the complete electronical circuit for 10 ! i just need this small program for active it


text: My bf and I have become huge fans of the ABC show Brothers and Sisters. We can't quit watching it and are currently on season 3. My BF is constantly remarking about how he loves the music. I have no idea what to get him for his birthday next week so I thought maybe I could purchase 15-20 songs on iTunes and burn him a CD. The problem is getting the music. I have found some websites that list the music on each episode and my last resort will be to search one at a time in iTunes and write down my favorites (while hoping he likes them, too). I was just shocked that there is no soundtrack out there! Has anyone heard anything about a soundtrack or maybe another freak such as myself has some suggestions of their favorite music from the earlier seasons? Also, is anyone else a fan of the show? I can't discuss much because we are only on season 3 but I can't wait to catch up.

the Giants know who they want and they know what it will take to kkep the plays they can.
They will give Cruz what they think he is worth. As a fan we 0 control over that. Whatever they pay him I dont care.....its their problem to figure out....

Luke Ronchi stands a decent chance of becoming the answer to a tricky trivia question one day - who was the first person to play international cricket for both Australia and New Zealand?
Of course, he hasn't yet achieved the feat, but the 31-year-old seems destined to play for the country of his birth on top of the four one-day and three Twenty20 internationals he played for Australia in 2008 and 2009.
After waiting out a four-year stand-down period, on January 13 he became eligible to play for New Zealand.
He will take a step closer when he plays for the New Zealand XI against England in two T20 matches starting in Whangarei on Monday.
He will go straight from Wellington to Whangarei after playing in their first three days of his side's ongoing Plunket Shield match against Canterbury at the Basin Reserve.
The New Zealand XI is an interesting collection of fringe internationals, former Black Caps, useful first-class players and the returning Ross Taylor.
Ronchi wasn't named in New Zealand's one-day or T20 squads yesterday to meet England but said next week's games were a chance to remind the selectors of what he can do.
"It's a chance to put my name out there. I think for everyone who's involved, that's what it is and the majority of us haven't had the opportunity to play for any New Zealand team or New Zealand A so it's a good chance to try and showcase yourself against a very good cricket team," Ronchi said.
"Whoever is playing is going to do their best to show they're capable of playing for the Black Caps."
Just where Ronchi would fit in to the national side remains to be seen.
He bats at a rapid pace but Brendon McCullum still wants to keep wicket in the short forms of the game and BJ Watling was impressive during the recent tour to South Africa as a wicketkeeper-batsman.
Ronchi is regarded as the best gloveman in the country and his batting numbers stack up well.
Prior to the game against Canterbury, he had scored 494 runs in the Plunket Shield at an average of 61.75 with three centuries and he had also pouched 26 catches behind the stumps.
In the HRV Cup he wasn't as prolific with 160 runs in 10 innings but his glovework was sharp with a competition-best four stumpings.
He made his debut for Wellington at the end of last season after cutting ties with Western Australia and announced himself on the New Zealand domestic scene with a rapid knock of 111 from 91 balls in a rain-affected four-day game.
Ronchi, who was born in Dannevirke, had clear reasons for returning to New Zealand.
"I didn't want to regret not trying once I finished playing cricket," he said. "If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen but you'd always be regretting that you should have just tried it."

Women's Hats — or Are They?
June 6th, 2011
A fight over fashion in a Catholic Digest classic
Photo from Photos.com
After the recent British royal wedding, with all the beautiful, odd, and sometimes even bizarre millinery on display, how could we not run this 1946 classic article on women's hats?
Older readers will remember Lilly Daché. In 1946 — a time when all self-respecting women and men wore hats, and baseball caps were worn mostly by ball players — Lilly Daché was probably the most famous milliner in the Western world, known for designing Carmen Miranda's fruit-filled turban and dressing the heads of many of Hollywood's leading ladies, including Marlene Dietrich, Carole Lombard, Loretta Young, Joan Crawford, and Gertrude Lawrence. Her husband, Jean Despres, who serves as a model of husbandly diplomacy in this story, was an executive vice-president of the cosmetics and fragrance company Coty.
The antagonist in this story was equally famous. In his syndicated newspaper column "As Pegler Sees It," Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Westbrook Pegler was well known for spouting harsh criticisms of President Roosevelt, the New Deal, labor unions, the wealthy, the Supreme Court — it was a long list. But when he turned to attacking women's hats, Lilly Daché thought he had gone too far.
So here, from November 1946 (Catholic Digest's 10th anniversary issue), is Lilly Daché's "Women's Hats — Or Are They?"

I have mold on the back wall of my TBHs, and on some of the yet unused bars. I live in Southern California, and it's usually very dry during the day but we're having foggy nights and mornings right now (our June Gloom.) I made the TBHs from old toy chests I bought and the lids do not fit tightly, allowing for some top ventilation. The entrances are three 1" holes I drilled in the front toward the bottom of the space. The bottom of the hives are sealed. I do not use follower boards.
So, too much ventilation or not enough?? What's the best way to reduce this condensation/dampness in our very dry climate??

Groundbreaking writer, lecturer, editor and activist, Gloria Steinem has been looked to as the popular face of the women's movement for over four decades. She was a buzzed-about journalist in the late-60s, when her political conscience compelled her to join the growing feminist movement, and made her one of its most visible and effective leaders.
She co-founded Ms. Magazine in 1972, and has spent decades crisscrossing the United States and the world as a speaker and organizer. She has been a controversial, good-humored, and inescapable public conscience on issues of equality and social justice. She has expanded the women's movement to celebrate non-violent conflict resolution, the cultures of indigenous peoples, and organization across socioeconomic boundaries.
Steinem probes and lays bare the workings of gender roles, of sex and race caste systems, and of child abuse as roots of violence. She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College and an Inductee of the National Women's Hall of Fame. Gloria Steinem is a 2005 Founder of the Women's Media Center.
In 2013, she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.
Steinem is the author of, "Revolution from Within: A Book of Self-Esteem" and "Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions." Her most recent novel, "My Life on the Road," is slated to hit bookshelves October 2015.

Simplemente perfecto! El apartamento es precioso y disfrutamos de cada segundo. Administración y contacto para el dueño era muy profesional y muy rápido. En general, todo fue excelente!
Just perfect! The appartment is gorgeous and we enjoyed every second. Administration and contact to owner was very professional and very quick. Overall, everything was excellent!
Todo salió bien!
Alles Gut geklappt!
Muy acogedor y esencial en una posición estratégica clave de Miami, en Collins, un tiro de piedra del centro de South Beach. Impresionantes vistas sobre el océano ", realmente no tiene precio. La experiencia que se repita!
Appartamento molto accogliente ed essenziale in una posizione davvero strategica di Miami, sulla Collins, a due passi dal centro di South Beach. Vista mozzafiato sull' oceano, davvero impagabile. Esperienza da ripetere!!!!!!
The apartment was just perfect and very well maintained . Everything we have needed was present. The view of the ocean was/is breathtaking & beautiful.
Very easy to step in each area of Miami and around. Highly recommended and would go back anytime
One of the most beautiful memories of our lives. All was PERFECT .
the fantastic view, the accessibility, the cleanliness.
Thanks Peter ..
The apartment was just perfect and very well maintained . Everything we have needed was present. The view of the ocean was beautiful and communication with Peter worked wonderfully.
Highly recommended .
I would go back anytime
Lovely appartement with great seeview and all you need for a com fort eBay stay. Would book this again every time!
The apartment was fantastic, had a wonderful view and Peter was incredible helpful, would definitely recommend it!!
We loved that place. The pictures are real but in reality it is even better. We woke up at sunrise – from the bed you can actually see (and hear) the ocean. This alone was just perfect for us.
What we really liked was the personal touch. The unit is fully equipped. Stove, small oven, caffee machine, microwave, a large Fridge, blender etc. There even was a fresh pack of coffee for us. Thanks to that, we could enjoy a morning coffee in bed at sunrise. Next to the fully equipped kitchen and bathroom there are even beach chairs, a volley ball etc. – nice idea. The bed was comfortable. The balcony has 2 chairs and an additional table with chairs, we had a small dinner there and decided it was the best restaurant in Miami Beach ;-) due to the spectactular view. The balcony table is extra high so we could enjoy the view. Nice idea.
Everything worked out fine, the preparation e-mail was very detailed and check in was easy (keys are with security). Valet parking worked well even if this is (for us germans) a bit strange. There is a huge parking garage, so why not park yourself?
The location of the building is good, a perfect place to stay on the beach but being not too far from Downtown. The building has a direct beach access and the beach in this area is quiet (no public parking anywhere near).
If we would come back to Miami we would definitively stay here again.
Beautiful apartment with a stunning view! Very clean and cozy. Peter provided for everything - from coffee to towels to shampoo. Check in and the whole process worked smoothly and we had an amaying time. The beach is just steps from the building and nice and quiet. The condo has a Tiki bar where you can get drinks and food so you don't even have to leave the building if you don't feel like it. We would come back anytime - Thank you Peter!

Promoters of a red glass exhibition centre for Takapuna have three months to sharpen a business case which calls for $5.3 million from ratepayers to get it open in 2016.
The estimated capital grant to a museum-grade exhibition centre is based on a $14.5 million staged project - with the rest to be raised from charitable and corporate sources.
The new figures for the project came as a shock to Devonport-Takapuna Local Board members.
Board chairman Chris Darby said yesterday that a more rigorous business case was needed to earn any level of ratepayer support.
"Also, probably the biggest risk for Auckland Council is not the capital outlay; it's always operating expenditure that needs year-after-year support."
The business case report written by BBrink consultancy suggested an annual council grant for operating expenses of up to $785,000 in 2016, when the centre is planned to open.
Board member Joseph Bergin said he tried to have the project scrapped.
He said the report was commissioned by the Shore Exhibition Centre Trust from a $300,000 grant from the former North Shore City Council. But after three years, the trust had not secured anything more than an endorsement in principle from the Takapuna Beach Business Association.
The report suggested the council was up for almost 90 per cent of running costs and that the project had a number of risks.
The trust has four board members, Genevieve Becroft, Ruth Ell, Dugald Page and Christopher Johnstone, and has $260,000 in the bank.
Mrs Becroft said the board was asked to endorse a bid for council finding and to approve a fixed-term three-year lease on the former Takapuna Library - an empty building of a classical design at No 2 The Strand.
"We will fundraise to get extensions by building up two storeys with a beautiful little tower. It looks red because it's glass. You don't want the UV rays coming in on paintings but you can see out and, it's rather jolly."

YES! The first swamp bathroom sink clothes washing!
And thank you for filming that part in B&W. Now we only get to guess what wonderful colours were being released into the sink .
Out of Mexistan:jose and into the Bunghole!
Swamp, when you visited the Mayan ruin (Tikal), did you just leave your luggage on the bike? Or you have stored it somewhere... and I missed that ? I'm curious.
Are those clowns your friends? Hope not. Can you block them, or do you just ignore them? Rest assured, many of us want to read what you have to say. So ride on. Don't pay attention to that. Unfortunately, there is always someone like that in the crowd.
i left all my luggage on the bike, left my boots next to my bike with knee guards, elbow guards and gloves stuffed inside. hung my helmet and goggles on the handlebar. i put my sox on the seat of the bike to air out and double as a theft deterrent. carried a back back to the ruins with me. place felt safe. if that is what you are getting to.
Thanks for the explanation. Yes, that's what I want to know.
I love the idea of using sock as to keep thief away
oser thats funny as hell!
yea, if you look at where they are from. they are all from alabama. we all ride bikes together here. the bullshit is a bottomless pit of fairground porta-potty turds with us. for some reason we've only ever been able to communicate by dog-cussing each other.
you know, like this:

OK, makes sense now
SWAMPASS! YOU FUKiN IDIOT!!!!
.... dont block me bro
Shut up moron.
After several years of lurking, your harassment of Donovan was enough to convince me to join just so I could tell you to shut up, moron.
Dono, any chance you could speed things up a little with the updates? I'm getting old.
oohh, Sorry, never mind...... Take your time with the updates. I'm sure you view your posts as wine. Cheap wine. You know, Thunderbird type stuff. But wine none-the-less.
Geeze, I have become like them.
My first post Sorry for the distraction.
Carry on.
Srsly: good stuff Dono. I ride vicariously.
Question: Did you ever know what happened to the last rear tire? The one with the center that looks sort of melted flat.
Was it rubbing on the swingarm once you got on the bike and started riding?
That's the same tire I have on the back of the Versys. Can't imagine riding along and then stopping to find THAT!
Sweet Report. SubfknScribed
Be careful, it's contagious...
As they say, "always late to everything but dinner!"
I'm IN.

Morelos Mexico to El Remate/Tikal/Lago Peten Itza
At 4:00 I was down in the alleyway behind the hotel fumbling with the flash light and luggage lashing pre-flight where is this, where is that.
The plan for today was basically a three step program to success: ride to Tikal as fast as possible then, drink alcoholic beverages, bum a few cigarettes off someone then eat food until I passed out.
Ill try to describe the ride to the Belize border in as little words as possible now.
Dark nearly
Wind seeping in past my goggles drying out my left eyeball
Raining a little
That town that guy told me not to stop in
Raining more ((im not stopping to put on my rain gear, itll quit))
Rain doesnt quit
Two guys with rifles tell me to go the other way
Belize Border
Exiting Mexico and Entering Belize
The only other people at the border were a backpacker hippie couple with acorns and what appeared to be McDonalds straw wrappers clumped into their dreadlocks. are you guys having problems?, blah blah waiting to extending our visas.
Box with person inside. Give important things to it. Person inside stamps my passport then hands everything back to me. Person behind desk. Give important things to it. Oh cool you take dollars.
Go to bike. The Gate Keeper inspects all of the important things that Ive collected.
The man says yes so I head over to buy the mandatory insurance policy.
Ride until low on gas. Ride until low on gas again. Arrive at Belize / Guatemala Border
Welcome to Belize
Belize/ Guatemala border
Unlike the Mexico / Belize border, this one is pretty busy. A guy with a wad of money points and tells me to park. He and I set down on a curb. He speaks good English. I ask him what the exchange rate is he tells me 6 quetzals to one dollar. I say how bout seven? . He tells me Ok I can do this. So I give him 60 bucks and he gives me a wad of money back. Are you giving me a good rate ? Because Im about to check. I had written down some exchange rates down in my notebook that I had pulled off the internet before I left home. I had 8.05 quetzals to 1 dollar. Good enough for me. I give him 100 and he gives me a bigger wad of money.
Somehow I got all turned around inside this building. I basically exited Belize then went to the other side of the building, the opposite direction because that is where some lady behind a desk pointed then got stamped back into Belize then I got confused and asked for help from a person behind a desk who looked at my passport and told me I had to go back and get stamped out again. . then go to the Guatemalan side. Really.
Entering Guatemala was a pain in the ass for me.
Im sorry, but if you are Guatemalan; Yo shit be fucked up.
First off I go to the gate keeper. I dont have enough important things to show him yet so he points at a few large lines.
I stand in one line until a lady behind a desk, who obviously has no incentive to perform has to take the time out of her day to look at my pile of paper. she is preoccupied with talking to one of her co-workers about something entertaining. She looks at me then points to the guy sitting to her right; also behind the large desk (Its like an airport ticket counter style desk). ((hmm ok I must have gone to the wrong line, ill go stand in this line to talk to the guy she just pointed at)).
Eventually I work my way up to the point where I am next-in-line. The problem is that there is this old guy in front of me who is no shit, attempting to read every tiny word on every single document WITH A GIANT , FUCKING, MAGNIFYING GLASS. I dont think this guy can even read. I think he is just trying to look the part.
The customs official or whoever the hell this guy is behind the desk doesnt even attempt to help the old man. He just sits there talking to his buddy the security guard. A few minutes pass and the old man gives up and walks away. I put the important things on the table. The guy gives me a fuck off look and points to THE LADY WHO POINTED AT HIM! ((son of a bitch .. are they screwing with me ? what the hell ? ))
No shit I stand in the ladys line again
She points to the other guy again! At this point I get pissed off and blurt out something like hey what the hell is going on? You keep pointing to him and he keeps pointing at you. Are you fucking with me or what? I dont understand what I am supposed to do. She hands the papers over to the guy, I cross under the little rope, line-row divider thingy. I fill out a bunch of papers then he says copies and motions with his finger out that way somewhere.
There is a little building that houses the photocopy extortion business. I walk in, lay everything out and tell the guy I need 3 copies of everything front and back. The photocopy engineer then walks over to the machine which is covered by an emerald blanket. He removes the blanket as though he was about to reveal the Arch of the Covenant or an ultra-secret doorway to the enchanted land of Narnia.
Back to standing in line for the guy behind the desk. I now have to go to the bank office.
Pay tax at bank office.
Stand in line again for the same guy.
Bike has to be inspected. Checks VIN and Tag. Good.
Back to The Gate Keeper to show him all my new important things.
Enter Guatemala.
Scenery begins to change rapidly.
I stop to talk with an older guy (maybe 65 or 70 years old )on a KLR who had ridden down from Canada. He told me that he made it down to El Salvador where he saw a murder and a lethal car crash. Hed had a clutch cable snap and his bike was dying so he had decided to return home.
Im feeling great at this point, the roads are fun and my rear tire seems like its going to hold up this time. I ride as fast as I can towards Tikal trying to make up some of the time I had lost screwing around in Morelos.
Tikal is located in what I would call a national park area. A fee is required to enter. There is a nice, scenic road that leads up to a parking area. From there visitors need to hike up to the ruins. A sign explains that its a 20-30 minute walk to the site. I park the bike and ditch my enduro boots for my flip flops. It only takes me 15 minutes to walk up the dirt road to where all the old stuff is.
This is where Ancient Mayans made tortillas
After having his many slaves construct this awesome set of stairs, The Ancient Maya Lord of Lightning and Fire carved two stone tablets upon which were written the Ten Commandments. 400 years later, a barefooted Jewish guy swindled the tablets away from the Mayans then transported them to the desert where he made everyone believe that he was God simply because his beard was fuller than everyone elses. Later, George Bush found the tablets in the bottom of a meteor crater at his ranch in Texas. He would later use them to construct the Panama Canal. So basically, Tikal is the center of the Universe.
Stairs to the Center of the Universe
raccoon that has never been fed dog food or hot dogs
I walked around the temples for thirty minutes before I became bored with it. Ive never really been a big Maya enthusiast however; Cortes and Alvarado were tough SOBs, the Incas were awesome; but the Mayas .. meh.. Id rather drink beer.
There is a small town at the base of the mountain on the Eastern side of Lago Peten Itza. After riding back and for the through the town twice I settled on this place (I have no idea what the name of it is).
My plan for the day was nearly complete. All I had left to do was: drink alcohol, eat food, bum cigarettes of someone then pass out. So that is what I did.
Margarita x 2
Beer x 5
..and more food (I actually had 2 orders of these nachos). I was so damn hungry.
Later a ½ Korean ½ Caucazoid lady and her tool box from England joined me for beers and lies. They both smoked cigarettes which is really turned out well for me.. as I was able to bum a few off them. The couple told me of another rider from Alabama that they had met. He had ridden an old KLR down here to die; his name was Mike. In my head I thought ((I wonder if they are talking about Rat Bike Mike??)). Turns out they were. I sat there laughing inside about how small the world is and how I could picture Mikes horrid, bush of grey hairs protruding from his ear-holes. Then the Sun set everything on fire and the day was over.

i would've served up some hot dogs to that 'coon just so he starts stealing hot dogs from the indiginees.
awesome ride.
GUATEVERS BRAH = very cool video.
Leaves me curious as to why you held the oil dipstick with your shirt.
A great deal of indecisive activity there at the initial point of dipstick extraction.
No need to explain. Would just as soon classify it as one of those mysteries of life.

This is a nice apartment in the historical centre of Malaga. Clean and comfy on the fourth floor (no elevator) with a view over a nice street with pedestrians only. The host Arantxa is very helpful and welcoming!
There is a small supermercado around the corner and lots of restaurants, shops and museums in the vicinity. The bus from and to the airport is within a 5-10 minutes walk.
There is a lot to see in the historical centre but it is also easy to walk (or take the bus) to the bus station and buy a ticket to, for instance, Ronda. A small village in the mountains well worth visiting.
I can absolutely recommend this apartment and the nice host Arantxa!
I also strongly recommend a meal at La Posada, Calle Granada 33.
I have only good things to say about the apartment!
However, this was me and my friends first time using Wimdu, and we will definetly use it again! Arantxa was very polite and on the first she introduced us to the apartment and gave us a brief overview about Malaga. The apartment itself was very clean and we had everything we needed. Furthermore, the situation of the apartment was excellent it was right in the center of Malaga! We will come back for sure!
a really good apartment in the center of the beautiful old town of malaga. the apartment had everything we needed and the hostess was so nice to us.
Everything went smooth and flexible.
It is a good appartment for two people, right in the heart of Malaga old town.
Arantxa and Jorge are nice hosts. We had a very relaxing time.
Gracias por totdo!
Appartement is indeed (one of the) best locations in Malaga. In the centre of Malaga, in a busy yet very quiet street in the heart of Malaga city. Very clean and beautiful appartment. Restaurants/shopping centre/train station/supermarkets all around the corner (max. 5 min. walk). Nice welcome with cold refreshments. Would recommend to anyone staying in Malaga!
Arantxa is a very nice people, listening and that gave us all the key information about the city. Smiling and welcoming person in a quiet apartment, well located, clean and complete!
I recommend this property and hope to return soon!
what a nice experience.
Very clean and all comfort.
Situated in the hart of Malaga and quiet at night.
We will return for sure.
Many thanks to Arantxa
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment located in the historical part of Malaga . Its very clean and fully equipped with all things you need. Arantxa was a good and friendly host and gave us helpful advices for our stay in Malaga. Thanks a lot!
Everything's great! We liked the Studio very much. It is located very centrally in the historic center – everything you need is nearby. The Studio was very clean and well equipped. For example, really nice and warm large blankets (important in winter) and wide mattresses. Due to its layout – a kind of corridor separates the kitchen and living room area from the sleeping area - even this small accommodation offered a bit of privacy to both of us. The handover of the keys was reliable and punctual. Arantxa was really nice, and gladly we would come back to her Studio, if we went to Málaga again.
We spent 4 days in Arantxas appartement and were cordially received. She was a great host who gave us very helpful advices about the common places to visit and eat at in Malaga. Since the appartement is very well located there are no long distances to walk.
The appartement was furnished as written in the description besides the fact that the bathroom is not a completely enclosed room.
