This build is in support of the Fly-Navy Group Build 2008 organized by our local Modelling Society (SFTPMS) which was held in HobbyHQ City Square on December 6-7, 2008. Thankfully this was completed and was put on display there during the 2-day event. Along with my other simple build as well.
In the box there are options to make either US Navy Seahawk or a Japanese Rescue Seahawk, I'll do it in US Navy scheme to follow my first ship ever, the USS Ingraham FFG-61.
From initial inspection, this seems to be a decent kit with the asking price although there are a few area that need a few enhancement to make it at least 50% similar to the actual helo.
Specifically the interior (although it will be hidden once the fuselage is closed) need a few modification that i'll discuss more later on.
This Helicopter also will be parked on a base made to represent the helipad onboard the USS Ingraham. Will be build with a folded rotor-blade and also some of the intake closed.

1-3-1 Sports Midweek Review
THE 1-3-1 MIDWEEK REVIEW
1 Thought From the Games Earlier this Week
Texas A&M looks like the only SEC team capable of advancing past the first weekend. The Aggies currently sit alone atop of the SEC, though LSU, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Florida are all within two games. Having seen the majority of SEC teams play this season, (thanks a lot for the SUPER HIGH-QUALITY basketball, ESPN!), I can safely rule out all other teams in the conference from receiving an at-large tournament birth. Now that we've narrowed the field down to five eligible bachelors for that pretty lady in March, we can talk about who's likely to advance the furthest. The answer: Texas A&M, but only by default. LSU will be lucky to make the tournament with their abysmal Non-Con SOS, and if they do so, it'll most likely be on the Ben Simmons hype train – hello TV ratings! South Carolina appears to be quite the fraud, having gone 4-3 after starting 15-0 with their Charmin soft early season slate. Who saw that coming!? (Spoiler Alert: 1-3-1 Sports Midweek Review on January 14th, 2016) Kentucky has lost three of six, including games against SEC bottom-feeders Auburn and Tennessee, and they no longer have talent quite like the Harrison twins and Karl-Anthony Towns. Finally, there is Florida, who may be the best bet to prove me wrong; their distinct flaw is an offense that becomes very complacent and stagnant too frequently.
3 Games to Watch this Week
i. Columbia @ Yale (Friday @ 5 pm EST, TV – FS1)
I have to admit, I'm a real sucker for watching quality mid-major and low-major college basketball. A televised game between the two leaders of the Ivy League, both of whom are undefeated in conference… count me in! The highlight of this game for me will be the opportunity to finally see German guard sensation Maodo Lo. Though he is a senior, I have yet to see him play; he may be the key to leading the Lions to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1968. I feel like the blurb highlighting this game would be incomplete without a reference to these two teams also featuring some of the smartest basketball players in the NCAA. For some, it even runs in the family. The younger sister of Columbia's senior leader Grant Mullins, Missy, plays basketball at fellow Ivy league school and academic juggernaut Harvard. The cousin of Yale's Brandon Sherrod, Derek, is an offensive tackle in the NFL who graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in financial risk management, and a 3.54 GPA to boot.
ii. Michigan State @ Michigan (Saturday @ 2 pm EST, TV – CBS)
This is one of the most heated rivalries in not only the Big 10, but in all of college basketball. The recent resurgence of the bad blood has been facilitated by the Wolverines experiencing great success under John Beilein. This year is no different, as the two teams have a combined 36-10 record and both sit in the upper half of the Big 10 standings. The Wolverines will look to avoid back-to-back home losses after the debacle against Indiana earlier in the week. A loss in this one could cause a bit of panic in Ann Arbor in regards to making the tournament, and rightfully so – the Wolverines have struggled mightily against quality competition (2-5 against the RPI top-50). On top of that, there has been nothing definitive that could generate realistic optimism regarding the return of team captain and leading scorer Caris Levert. The Spartans are dealing with a significant injury of their own, as point guard Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn is likely to miss his sixth straight game due to a painful case of plantar fasciitis.
iii. Baylor @ West Virginia (Saturday @ 8 pm EST, TV – ESPN2)
These two top-15 teams need a victory in this game to keep pace with top-ranked Oklahoma in the Big 12 conference race. This match-up offers quite the contrast, as Baylor's potent inside-out, slow tempo offense will be matched up with West Virginia's fast-paced, press-oriented defense. West Virginia leads the country in steals per game, averaging over 10 – the ability to turn teams over at high rates is a demonstrated staple of Bob Huggins' teams in recent years. Baylor ranks 141st in the nation in turnovers per game, so they'll have to be smart with the ball if they want to go into Morgantown and steal a victory. The counter to the turnover issue could end up being the rebounding advantage Baylor should have inside. Baylor is 4th in the country in offensive rebound percentage, pulling down 41% of offensive rebounds that are available to the team; the Mountaineers will need to find bodies and block out to prevent second-chance opportunities.
1 Bold Prediction for the Week
Diamond Stone continues his coming out party and meteoric rise up NBA draft boards with a great performance in a Maryland victory over Purdue. Freshmen phenom Diamond Stone has slowly been getting more playing time from Mark Turgeon, and the increase of his contributions to the success of the Terps has coincided with the bump in minutes. He will have an opportunity to prove his worth when the Boilermakers roll into town on Saturday. Purdue's strength is definitely inside, led by senior big man A.J. Hammons, who is coming off of a 32 point, 11 rebound, 4 block game in a lopsided victory over Nebraska. Though he may not lead the team in any one category, I think that Diamond Stone will use his skill set to be a key contributor. This can be achieved by limiting Hammons and making key plays down the stretch, both of which may not show up in the box score, on the way to a Maryland victory.
Maryland – 73
Purdue – 67

Elegant silver elements, charming cream-colored details and a sophisticated ceremony, Jackie and Tony's wedding was delightful to dream up and design. The 1940's supper club-themed wedding was abundant in timeless treasures and kept guests on their toes with a modern twist. Our friends at Belle the Magazine loved the classic ceremony just as much as we did, and featured it in a recent article! To see all the elegant details and catch a glimpse into the feature, keep reading!
From the lush peach centerpieces and the flowing white flowers, to the glistening silver embellishments and lacy blush wedding cake, the entire affair was timeless and classic. We loved planning and preparing every element from the altar to the dessert lounge, and we're thrilled to be a part!

Maybe you've seen these folks before on the blogosphere. I hadn't. I came across them at one of our web developer's blogs
Reading about them on his blog, I thought it must be a hoax.
It's not.
I'm going to do what virtually everyone who's blogged about the Hoyts have done - paste an article in its entirety into my blog. For good measure, I'm also going to throw in two remarkable videos.
To call them inspirational would be an understatement.
Never say, "I can't" again.
(Article from Rick Reilly, Sport Illustrated)
I try to be a good father. Give my kids mulligans. Work nights to pay for their text messaging. Take them to swimsuit shoots.
But compared with Dick Hoyt, I suck.
Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars — all in the same day.
Dick's also pulled him cross-country skiing, taken him on his back mountain climbing and once hauled him across the U.S. on a bike. Makes taking your son bowling look a little lame, right?
And what has Rick done for his father? Not much — except save his life.
This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled by the umbilical cord during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.
"He'll be a vegetable the rest of his life," Dick says doctors told him and his wife, Judy, when Rick was nine months old. "Put him in an institution."
But the Hoyts weren't buying it. They noticed the way Rick's eyes followed them around the room. When Rick was 11 they took him to the engineering department at Tufts University and asked if there was anything to help the boy communicate. "No way," Dick says he was told. "There's nothing going on in his brain."
"Tell him a joke," Dick countered. They did. Rick laughed. Turns out a lot was going on in his brain.
Rigged up with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate. First words? "Go Bruins!" And after a high school classmate was paralyzed in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out, "Dad, I want to do that."
Yeah, right. How was Dick, a self-described "porker" who never ran more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried. "Then it was me who was handicapped," Dick says. "I was sore for two weeks."
That day changed Rick's life. "Dad," he typed, "when we were running, it felt like I wasn't disabled anymore!"
And that sentence changed Dick's life. He became obsessed with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon.
"No way," Dick was told by a race official. The Hoyts weren't quite a single runner, and they weren't quite a wheelchair competitor. For a few years Dick and Rick just joined the massive field and ran anyway, then they found a way to get into the race officially: In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying time for Boston the following year.
Then somebody said, "Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon?"
How's a guy who never learned to swim and hadn't ridden a bike since he was six going to haul his 110-pound kid through a triathlon? Still, Dick tried.
Now they've done 212 triathlons, including four grueling 15-hour Ironmans in Hawaii. It must be a buzzkill to be a 25-year-old stud getting passed by an old guy towing a grown man in a dinghy, don't you think?
Hey, Dick, why not see how you'd do on your own? "No way," he says. Dick does it purely for "the awesome feeling" he gets seeing Rick with a cantaloupe smile as they run, swim and ride together.
This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992 — only 35 minutes off the world record, which, in case you don't keep track of these things, happens to be held by a guy who was not pushing another man in a wheelchair at the time.
"No question about it," Rick types. "My dad is the Father of the Century."
And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a mild heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of his arteries was 95% clogged. "If you hadn't been in such great shape," one doctor told him, "you probably would've died 15 years ago."
So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other's life.
Rick, who has his own apartment (he gets home care) and works in Boston, and Dick, retired from the military and living in Holland, Mass., always find ways to be together. They give speeches around the country and compete in some backbreaking race every weekend, including this Father's Day.
That night, Rick will buy his dad dinner, but the thing he really wants to give him is a gift he can never buy.
"The thing I'd most like," Rick types, "is that my dad would sit in the chair and I would push him once."
Way to go Hoyts!


Outdoor temperatures feeling like -10°, and heating units turned on full blast at the office: without even watching the weather report, it's hard to figure out how to dress, and we are almost tempted to give up —in terms of style.
A collar with a hood to feel as though you were wearing a parka, without the plastic bag effect.
A poncho, yes, but with a perfecto collar to stay nice and warm while remaining stylish.
Borrow from the Inuits their clever footwear in order not to catch cold on the Parisian pack ice.
Why look like everyone else when you can protect your head and ears under a warm maxi bonnet in heavy knit?
To be cut to size for a warm and cozy slipper effect.
And long live colour to give some peps to your complexion when your hair becomes frizzy and your nose is quite red.
Designer high socks with a tight weaving that go all the way up to the thighs for extra protection.
For really dismal weather, we are inspired by the Slavic know-how. A very trendy result that will make all those who did not dare very jealous.
Wearing the right pair of tights is a little bit the Grail of the Parisienne in Winter. There will be no false note with this model comprising enough cashmere to keep you warm, even with a skirt.
A cruelty-free parka lined in recycle plastic and not with goose down, to slip under your coat, light-hearted and with a clear conscience.
Elegant couture gloves and lined in cashmere, in a delicious ice blue that will enhance the chiné grey overtones of your favourite coat.
Gloves in dipped lambskin, hand-made and lined in cashmere, Audrey Marnay X Causse, €349. Available at the Causse Gantier boutique, 12 rue de Castiglione 75001 Paris.
Wrapped around the neck two or three times? No matter, as long as you are sheltered from glacial winds.
Also discover the 10 coolest parkas for Winter and the new address for stylish cashmeres at less than €100.

My no longer brand-new book. But still my most recent.
A box of these babies arrived today. I've wanted to use this title for 20 years—so glad to finally do so. Get one from SPD, Amazon, or directly from me.
Decided to update my website a little, realizing that NauenThen isn't so new anymore. This is a bit of a trick, since all I have thought of is to say hi here & mention that I've been doing my blog 6 days a week for almost a year now. I invite you to take a look.
I figured out to do a real blog so please click just above on Blog and you can read updates, and even comment.
By way of intro: In high school, I wrote a column, called NauenThen, for the school newspaper, the Orange & Black. My two-years-younger brother went on to write NauenAgain, and my youngest sister didn't write NauenForever. Forty years later, it occurs to me to revive that rubric for a more frequent outpouring. I've been wanting a deadline, to take a stand, to be interesting. Let's see how it goes.
Below are the first few entries; newer ones will be on the Blog page.
August 22, 2013: In 1979, Neil and I, along with John, Connie & Denise, called ourselves the Prison Caucus, because we played pickup baseball and picnicked outside the walls of SingSing (NY) and Stillwater (MN). Since then, there have been few years when Neil and I haven't made it to a game. Last night it was the Staten Island Yankees, playing not-quite-competent A League ball, one pitcher (Brooklyn) with a sneaky curve, me keeping score desultorily, without a horse in the race pretty much. Mostly it was baseball as a platonic construct: the game ... and the ritual of two old friends.
August 21, 2013: Call the domestic technicians: the glasses have spots.
August 20, 2013: Those old-time journalists who were said to have walked every street in the city. Knowing and seeing everything. Seeing. Seeing. Is there anyone like that now? EV Grieve is the best local (very local) reporter we have, who has walked every street in my neighborhood.
August 19, 2013: Looking out my window at a sun-bright morning, the tree bouncing between us and the world (a blond brick wall), the man I (mostly) love softly snoring, dishes washed, sheets clean, coffee in my favorite cup.
August 18, 2013: Do we need to adjust the calendar, now that we're having August in July and September in August?
August 16, 2013: Why is it that I can barely look at the headlines of today's paper, but a newspaper that's a decade old, I can pore over every page, including the classifieds? I know how it all came out, it doesn't matter so it doesn't make me nervous. I don't know if that's the right answer.
August 15, 2013: Cringing over my adolescent archness (the editorial "we"!) and that just in case someone didn't get the point, I had to mention that the common phrase is brutal. But thinking too that my sweet edit is an improvement in this item from my column of October 3, 1969: Block-that-cliché department: Instead of "killing two birds with one stone," obviously quite coldblooded, how about "feeding two birds with one crumb." By the way, we've always wondered what fine-feathered species was being murdered in that phrase.
August 14, 2013: Disfiguring acid attacks in many parts of Asia… friends' parents dying… friends dying… friends' cats dying… a young man whose seizure has left him partially paralyzed… corporate America making life difficult*. So much can go wrong it's amazing that anyone gets born or survives. How did my great-grandmother manage to live to 100? Is it one's personality that suggests whether you see things as getting better or getting worse? the world as half-full or half-empty?
August 13, 2013: I'm doing, for the 3rd time this year, what I call 24 Days of Discard. As you can guess, it means getting rid of something every day for 24 days (and not replacing it). The first day, January 1, I threw out a few pens that didn't write, and I was pretty sure that was all I could spare. But I kept at it, and it got easier & more fun. I got rid of books I'd read or had more than 1 copy of; clothes that were out of style or didn't fit, no matter how good or unworn they were; ugly dishes; inexplicable items of every sort. This, the 3rd time through, it's getting harder, although I do keep coming upon some anti-treasures, like an extraordinarily hideous scarf (how'd it make the cut till now?). Now I'm down to the bedrock: papers. Yes, those Christmas cards from 1991 can go, no matter how cute my cousin was at 14. No, I don't need 6 copies of the Times that printed a little thing I wrote about Yankee Stadium, and if I scan it, I don't need any copies, right? An empty shelf! How unusual, and appealing.
August 12, 2013: The winter before last we had no snow so I began what's become an ongoing interest, reading books set in Greenland or the Arctic, or that involve cold in some way. A few titles: Ice: The Nature, the History, and the Uses of an Astonishing Substance, by Mariana Gosnell; several books called Snow; a new novel sent in 18th-century Russia, The Age of Ice, by J.M. Sidorova; and my favorite (along with An African in Greenland, by Tete-Michel Kpomassie—nutty & fantastic), The Last Kings of Thule, by Jean Malaurie, an updated version of the 1950 original—it's like reading an anthropologist Philip Whalen, who notices, accepts & describes everything, in this case the Inuit of Greenland.
August 11, 2013: Yesterday morning, Robyn & I rode our bikes up Park Ave, which was closed to cars. We also walked through the 1,396-foot Park Avenue Tunnel from 33rd to 40th to experience an installation* called "Voice Tunnel," a son et lumière installation that's activated by the voices of participants. The lights were cool, the sound was too loud, the best part was walking through the tunnel, which has been closed to pedestrians for 8 decades. Then we sat on the terraced roof of the building on 72nd St where my husband works and thought about how nice it would be to have coffee there every morning.


"Yoga is neither just a series of exercises nor a life sitting and contemplating one's navel! It offers a deep understanding of a way of life which will bring peace of mind and promote both mental and physical well-being"

Tesla's 2018 fourth-quarter results showed the company still made a profit ($139.5 million), but it was smaller than that of the third quarter ($311.5 million). For the quarter, the company posted $7.23 billion in revenue. Last year's revenue was $3.29 billion. Overall for 2018 it reported $21.4 billion in revenue but lost $1 billion.


Argentina will have to wait at least until the second half of September to find out whether the International Monetary Fund will agree to the early release of a credit line under a $50 billion backup financing arrangement approved earlier this year, Economy Minister Nicolas Dujovne said Tuesday.
Dujovne declined to say how much money he had requested during a meeting with IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde.
"All this requires a formal procedure so it receives an agreement at the staff level, which could be taken before the board," Dujovne told reporters after the meeting, adding that he expects the IMF to vote on the request in the second half of the month.
Lagarde said they made progress in the meeting.
"Our discussions will now continue at a technical level and, as stated before, our common objective is to reach a rapid conclusion to present a proposal to the IMF Executive Board," she said in a statement.
While the meeting between Dujovne and Lagarde was grabbing most of the headlines, the Argentine peso kept losing value. The U.S. dollar closed Tuesday at 39.50 pesos per unit compared to 38 the day before. The peso has devaluated around 53 percent so far this year.
Dujovne's meeting with the IMF's managing director followed a morning session with U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spoke with Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Tuesday.
Macri on Monday announced new taxes on exports and the elimination of several ministries.

New MOBO, no POST.....what's the deal with socket 775?
Discussion in 'ECS' started by Marty_KN0CK, Jul 28, 2008.
two of them right now that have the same problems and I'm stuck hard.
that you normally get, no video, no lights on the keyboard.
processor, no beeps, no video, no POST, no joy.
- and a NEW processor. Same power supply (the one in the new case).
etc, etc. Took same precautions as I did with the first motherboard.
Went overboard to make sure this time, too.
boards would be the same in terms of the failure. What gives?
for intermediate storage, until the RAM is set up and working.
see if it gets as far.
a beep test, can help distinguish what is not working right.
1) The BIOS must be prepared to support the processor being used.
so it takes a while to clear the older stock.
-5V is no longer needed, so you don't have to worry about that one.
makes a difference with POST.
is making me queasy, too.
gold fingers on the RAM, if it is well down into the slot.
motherboard models, the motherboard will apply the "boosted" values.
first time, applying 1.8V, the memory may fail miserably.
board, then enter the BIOS and tweak Vdimm to the value the "uber"
the faster memory installed as you instructed earlier.
the MSI's status once I get everything up and running on slower RAM.
acted as dead as it was when I was looking for help the other night.
Kingston......should work great after that exchange happens.
screen, because the slow stick is holding its crucial information.
Now, change the voltage and do Save and Exit.
If that doesn't work, try reversing the order of the sticks.
when you swap out the slow stick and put in the fast stick.
of the BIOS, to screw around.
Now, remove the slot stick, like this, and cross your fingers.
and moved the bad stick so it wasn't located at 0x00000000.
mode, so could not afford to use a "balanced" memory config.

I've been having the same problem with a P45T AD3 motherboard, it will boot up until EO, on "Post Card", (floppy drive) than stop. no beeps, no screen.
I've checked and replaced everything that can be removed, all of it works OK in another computer, with the exception of Memory, I don't have another DDR3 motherboard.
Remove memory, post card shows error. This Motherboard has a FSB of 1333, I purchased two sticks of 1600 memory, judging from your solution, I now think the memory is to fast, so I'M going to order a stick of 1333 and see if that works.
I'll let you know the results, might be a few days.
Well, the 1333 memory didn't work, still E0 on post card. I've tried every trick I know to make the BIOS change directions in loading and possibly get pass whatever is stopping it. Anyone have any ideas or maybe an extra stick of dynamite??
what's the deal with that $399 deal?
What is the "best" all-around ASUS socket 775 board available currently?

SAN DIEGO – Oct. 29, 2018 – OGIO International, Inc., a leading innovator of sports and travel bags, backpacks and golf bags, announced today a global brand refresh featuring a new line of products, refined messaging, new website and modernized logo. The rebrand represents the company's strategic plan for growth and follows closely behind OGIO's 30th anniversary and acquisition by the Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY).
Since 1987, OGIO has produced high performance gear bags with durable materials, long shelf lives, and a plethora of pockets for storage. Today, the company aims to make the world's most ingeniously-designed, expertly-constructed and technologically-unrivaled personal storage products. OGIO collections fuse performance, sports, and lifestyle, with a renewed focus on organization, durability, protection, ergonomics, mobility, and sustainability. The refresh showcases the company's evolution from a veteran to an industry-leading global brand known for the highest-quality performance bags in the world.
"Innovation is the driving force of everything we do," said Harry Arnett, president of OGIO. "Change is obviously critical for any brand, especially one that has been around for 30 years like we have. The products we are launching represent the very best in design, quality, and performance. It's an exciting step forward for our company and we know current fans and potential new fans of OGIO will love the new direction.
" As part of OGIO's rebrand, the company will launch its first product collection called OGIO ALPHA Convoy. Designed to be rugged, utilitarian, and bold, this line of products is built to withstand the test of time. The collection is built with premium components and materials, including Cordura® EcoMade fabric. This special material is ultra-durable and also made from recycled plastics, reducing the energy consumption in the manufacturing process. OGIO ALPHA Convoy features a cohesive lineup of four backpacks, three travel bags, and two golf bags, which will be unveiled in late 2018.
"Tapping into our heritage is extremely important for OGIO's future success. OGIO's design has been rooted in durability and organization since its inception, and the newly launched line exceeds our expectations by introducing an additional pillar of sustainability. As consumers demand change, we are committed to changing with them, and the recycled materials used in our new products are just one example of our commitment to innovate and adapt," said Jeff Rang, design director at OGIO.
OGIO's new branding allows the company to cohesively communicate that its innovations help its users turn their ambitions into achievements. The company's new modern logo and updated website bring a sharp new visual identity to OGIO. The updated website is a major shift towards engaging with the modern, digital-first consumer through a balance of visual content and in-depth information on OGIO technology and innovation. This, combined with OGIO 365, a place where real users share their stories of how OGIO helps them achieve their goals, will be a great place to visit for both product research and personal inspiration.

10/21/17 – Waupun's emergency personnel response team will test their preparedness on Wednesday night. The city will be conducting a mass casualty drill involving the Police Department, Fire Department, the Waupun Memorial Hospital, Lifestar EMS, and Flight For Life. The goal is to be ready in the face of unexpected disasters like tornadoes, chemical spills, multi-vehicle accident and more. The team will gather at around 2pm to complete a tabletop exercise. The "live" event is expected to begin at 6:30m and run until it is complete. Following the casualty drill, agency leaders will roleplay a mass causality involving a simulated bus crash. The simulation will occur within the Waupun community with the "injured" being taken to the hospital. Residents interested in finding out more about the drill are encouraged to reach out to Waupun Fire Chief BJ DeMaa at [email protected] or call 920-324-7910.


Xi'an is home to the Terracotta Warriors, one of China's most loved icons; but don't be mistaken for thinking that is all the region has to offer! From museums to mountains, temples to street food, Xi'an has something for everyone. We've put together this guide to the Top Things To Do in Xi An plus recommendations for where to stay, what to eat and how to get around along with other essential info to help you get the most from your trip.
Incredible Things To Do in Xi An Plus Where To Stay & What To Eat!
Xi'an is my favourite Chinese city. It is the capital of the Shaanxi province and one of the ancient capitals of China, so it is a very significant city within the country. But for visitors, it is packed full with culture and history and is slightly less busy than the colossal Beijing and Shanghai (but that's not to say it's quiet… this is China after all!). It has a wonderful cultural mix of Islam, Buddhism and Atheism and boasts the most mouth-watering street food. And if you're not so into city life and are just using Xi'an as a base, there's plenty of things to do in the beautiful Shaanxi countryside.
If you only have 48 hours in Xi'an, don't despair! I've put together a list of the ten best things to do in Xi'an, which make the most of all aspects of the city's culture and surrounding nature, while also factoring in some time to enjoy some of Xi'an's best culinary experiences.
The Terracotta Warriors are one of the iconic 'must-sees' in China, and it's easy to understand why. The lines of ceramic figures, built just with the intention of preserving Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China in his afterlife, are certainly a sight to behold. Learning about the history of the warriors is just as fascinating, and sometimes gruesome – did you know that the workers who built the warriors were killed afterwards, so they didn't reveal the existence of them?!
Take a full day tour with an archeological expert to get the most from this incredible historical site.
The Muslim Quarter in Xi'an has got to be my most favourite spot in the city! It's the definition of bustling, with flashing signs overhead, tonnes of people weaving in and out of the crowd and cheerful food vendors on every corner. And the street food is incredible – with lots of options for any palate. And once you've had your fill, why not take a Dumpling Masterclass and learn the secrets of those little bites of heaven!
Nestled in the Muslim Quarter, The Great Mosque is a must visit for any tourists interested in Islam in China. The building is a beautiful fusion of Western Mosques and Far-Eastern Temples and for me, this represented the harmonious synthesis of cultures and religions in Xi'an.
The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is Xi'an's most established Buddhist temple and is built in the typical architecture form of many East Asian temples: a simple yet striking pagoda. Visitors to the temple can enjoy wandering around its majestic tiers and learning about the history of Buddhism in Xi'an.
A couple of hours outside the city (which is basically a suburb in Chinese terms!) lays the formidable Mount Huashan. Contrary to popular belief, I don't think that Mount Huashan is as dangerous as it claims to be. It's a beautiful mountain, adorned in red ribbon and locks and with a terrain unlike any I've ever seen. Spend a day exploring this incredible mountain on this Huashan Mountain Adventure Day Tour.
Once upon a time all cities in China were walled. Most of these (including Beijing's) were pulled down in the Cultural Revolution, but those of Xi'an – the oldest of China's four ancient capitals – were left standing. The city walls of Xi'an ooze history and tell fabled stories from the time of their construction in the 14th century until the present day. You can walk the 14kms of the city walls, or just stroll along a section, and learn about its history while enjoying the impressive vistas of the city below.
A must-visit for those interested in the region's history! The museum is bursting with information about Xi'an from prehistoric times to 1840 AD. Here you can learn all about the city and province's importance as one of China's ancient capitals. Most of the exhibits are translated into English.

A somewhat spooky yet incredibly interesting attraction, the Han Yangling Museum is the tomb of Liu Qi, a Western Han Dynasty emperor and Empress Wang. It dates back from 153 AD and spreads out over 20 square kilometres. Visitors to the tomb will be awed at the effort that went into its construction, and nowadays it offers some valuable insights to Ancient China.
The village is situated just out of the city, and is the site of Emperor Taizong's burial. It's a great place to get a bit of time out from the big city, and boasts some incredible food, amazing architecture and a relaxed atmosphere; perfect for an afternoon's visit!
This spot marks the centre of Xi'an and is the largest of its kind in China. From the tower, roads span North, South, East and West, connecting it with the city's four gates. Visit the tower to admire the architecture and integrity that made this attraction the centre of old Xi'an.
Once the start of the Silk Road, and an old cultural and political capital of China, Xi'an has one of the most interesting food histories of anywhere in the country, and is heavily influenced by it's Muslim residents.
With a range of snacks, street food and local dishes to try we've put together this guide to the main ones to help you know what you are looking at!
Cold Noodles – liangpi (凉皮)– the most basic way to serve cold noodles is drizzled with a sauce of chili oil, pepper powder, vinegar and diced garlic, topped with bean sprouts and sliced cucumber. Beef, egg, apple and pear can be added as required.
Dumpling in Sour Soup – suantang shuijiao (酸汤水饺) – authentic mutton dumplings steeped in a sesame seeds, minced leek and cilantro broth.
Steamed meat and wheat powder – fenzhengrou (粉蒸肉) –consists of some fatty meat (pork or beef) marinated in a combination of Sichuanese spicy bean paste, soy sauce, and rice wine, which is then coated in a thick layer of the toasted rice powder.
Zong Zi with Honey (蜂蜜粽子) – honey combined with sticky rice and often served cold. It's a favorite in summer.
Kabobs (烤串儿) – Food on a stick. Meat or Vegetables covered in spices and grilled over fire.
If you like to really get to the heart of a city through its food, book yourself onto an gourmet walking food tour and spend an evening eating at some of the best spots in town. Or you could combine your dumplings with a history lesson at this Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show.

Xi'an is perfectly positioned in China: three stations make train travel to Xi'an easy and the city has an airport with great connections to other cities. The ancient capital is centrally located, meaning that from Xi'an it is easy to travel onwards in any direction. This makes it the perfect stopover before or after any business elsewhere in China.
The airport is located 41km from the center of Xi'an and the city can be reached by private transfer ($22USD), express bus ($5USD pp) – there are 8 different lines and tickets can be bought at the counters in Terminals 2 & 3. The journey by bus takes between 1-1.5hours.
Taxi is the easiest way to navigate the city, and most hotels will provide a card with their location in Chinese to make sure you can get back to the hotel safety after a day exploring.
Local buses are the cheapest way to get around Xi'an, and have routes covering every corner of the city with express buses to the major attractions. Change is not given on the buses so it is wise to carry smaller denominations to cover each trip.
Xi'an has a small metro system with 3 out of 15 lines currently in operation.
Xi'an has a temperate and continental monsoon climate, with four distinct seasons. Summer is hot and rainy, while winter it is usually cold and dry. The weather is generally pleasant all year round, but spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best seasons to visit Xi'an.
Peak season in the province is between June and August (summer) with the low season falls with the temperatures in winter (December – February).

Hi Danik, Claire did a great job sharing what else there is to see and do in Xi'an apart from the Warriors. I knew to be a member of the communist party a person had to have no religious affiliation, but China officially recognizes 5 religions, so the Buddha's always made sense to me!
Xi'an is on our bucket list, but I've always thought that there's only the terracotta army and the museum to visit. We'll definitely add Mount Huashan, the city walls and the Great Mosque to our to-do list when we travel to Xi'An! Thanks for this post.
Thanks Mei! I hope you get to visit soon!
Xi'an is so high on my list of places to visit when I finally get to China. Who can resist a visit to teh Han Yangling Museum? If it's one impressive thing that the Chinese do it's ancient temples turned into museums. And interesting food choices!
Wow Xi'an, China looks amazing. There are so many things to do. Of course the Terracotta Warriors are a dream of mine to see them. I would definitely like to visit the Great Mosque s well. It's all so impressive.
A good list! Terracotta warriors are definitely in my list.
I wish to see the pagoda too.
I've had the pleasure of visiting Xi'an, and I really enjoyed it. There is really nothing like the terra cotta warriors. When you see them all lined up in there like that. It's like a glimpse into the mind of someone very interesting.
I visited Xi'an a few years ago just to see the Terracotta Warriors and they were worth the trip. I love how all the buildings are in a Chinese traditional shape around the Bell and Drum Tower in the center. I remember the McDonald's in the center was located in a traditional Chinese building, I even photographed it! I didn't know the city walls were 14 km in length, I'm sure there are lots of incredible views doing the full city wall walk.
If I ever find my way to China, Xian is definitely on the list! To be honest I only knew about the Terracotta Warriors before reading this post. Good to know that the city offers so much more to do, see, and eat.
Somewhere I have always wanted to visit, admittedly mainly for the Terracotta Warriors! I really think our kids would be absolutely amazed by them. Wonderful that there's so much else to see and do too! That dumpling masterclass would be an absolute must for me! YUM!
Thanks Erin – I'm sure the kids would be awestruck by the Warriors – I know I would be!
This is a great article! We loved Xi'an and did everything you mentioned, except for visiting HuaShan as it was a bit too cold to think about hiking when we were there. We did however go on a bike ride around the wall, and that was a lot of fun!
Thanks Jen! It's good to know we've covered all the good stuff!
I've never been to Xi'an and it's definitely in my bucket list. I've always wanted to see the Terracotta warriors and I'm really excited that there are so many things to see apart from that. I had no idea that the Muslim part is so extensive!
I was completely shocked by the huge Muslim influence there too!
I have to confess that I was one of the few who though Xián was only about the terracotta warriors. I guess sometimes one attraction gets so popular that it overshadows everything else. Walking the city wall and exploring the local markets, plus a trip to Huashan would really be wonderful adventures. China is still a little far away in my travel list, but it's great to know about all the possibilities its popular destinations have.
Oh wow this all looks so stunning and really makes me want to head to China. The mountain looks fabulous. Is it the one which has the boardwalk around the side?
I know, right?! I don't think the boardwalk is in Xi'an though, from memory its in the Tianmen mountain range about 7 hours drive away. But you could probably get there a lot quicker on the high speed trains!
Since seeing the Terra Cotta Warriors would be on my list of things to do in China, I'm so pleased to see these options for the area. Thanks for putting this together.
Thanks Elaine – It would be a long way to go just for the Terracotta Warriors – but so many people do it without knowing what else is in the area!
I've been reading a lot about how difficult it is to get a visa to China and this post will just prove that it's totally worth it. And I love how you put a mix there of different religions.
I have never been to China and therefore it is definitely on my list. Who doesn't want to see the Great Wall of China. The Terracotta Warriors are loved icons for sure. I have read about them and I am glad you shared this post which helped me discover more about Xi'An. The mosque and the pagoda look great. My favourite would be to walk around the walls and visit the City Musuem.
So far, I had a pleasure visiting just a few Chinese cities taking advantage of transit visa while flying through China. Sadly, Xi'an is not a major airline hub :(. Hence, it had to wait till next time. It's nice to have a guide that covers more than just Terracotta Warriors. One day when I finally get there, I'll use it. Thanks!
Thanks Elena! I hope you get to visit soon!

Valentine's Day is right around the corner!! Whether you have a sweetheart or are single; and even if your partaking in the new Galentine's day trend, of spending February 13th with your gals pals, you can still #Slay…okay!
Here is the breakdown of products I used to achieve my Valentine's Day inspired makeup look.
First I make sure to prep and prime my freshly washed face for make up.
Then I prime my eyelid for my eye-shadow application.
Then I used my Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette for my eyes.
1.To start I used Raw Sienna on my entire eye lid.
2. and 3. For my transition colors, only on the crease of my eye, I used both Red Ochre and Love Letter.
4. Then to add some depth to my eyes I gently used Cypres Umber, along my crease and outer corner of my eye…very lightly.
Before placing my Glitter Shadow on my lid I used my NYX Glitter Glue as an additional primer, to cut my crease. This helps to keep the glitter from falling into my eyes and keeps it in place. I did one lid at a time, this way I was able to take my time and make sure that each eye lid dried properly.
For my lid I used this Glitter palette I bought from my local beauty supply store for $2.99. A pretty good deal if you ask me, I love a great beauty find! Typically I do not use any of the applicators that come with make up that I buy. I prefer to use my own make up tools. Most of my brushes come from BH Cosmetics.
I find them reasonably priced and of high quality. I recently purchased some new brushes that I am trying out, look out for a review coming soon. For this specific look, I used a flat eye-shadow brush to pack the glitter shadow onto my lids, I did not brush it on!
I used my favorite non smudging eye liner. Kat Von D, Tattoo liner in the color Trooper.
Lastly for my eyes I popped on the lashes, pictured above, from my local beauty supply store.
Here is my finished eye make up look.
Moving on to my face. I used my LA girl pro color corrector concealer in the shade Orange. This shade for color correcting helps to better conceal dark under eye areas or for any dark spots or blemishes. It also ensures that my foundation applies easily and stays true to its shade and my complexion.
LA Girl PRO Orange color correcting concealer.
NYX Foundation in the shade Chestnut.
I used my everyday foundation NYX stay Matte not flat all over my face. To set my liquid foundation I used my Derma Blend Loose Setting Powder on my entire face.
If you know me than you know that I love, love, love a highlight!!! My favorite go-to for that, is my BH Cosmetics Missy Lynn palette. This golden shimmer highlight is exactly what I need. I highlighted my cheekbones, the tip of my nose and the center of my forehead. You can see how those areas caught the light in my photo above.
Lastly, I decided go with a red lip, it just feels fun and romantic to me. I used my Besame Cosmetics lipstick in the shade, Red Hot Red.. It's not a true red, more of a peachy red, which I thought went well with my overall make-up look.
Lastly, I used my favorite setting spray of the moment, my Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray to set my makeup in place. Only one powder touch up. This stuff works really well!
**Note these photos were all taken after a long full day of wear.
Do you have a Valentine's Day inspired look you are going for? I'd love to hear about it and even see it… Share below!
The finished look is beautiful!
YOU Look FAB lovely lady! I use some of the same products but others are new to me and I totally need to check them out. Thanks for sharing how you created your look.
Oh my my! 😍 Absolutely loving your eye makeup. It's pure gorgeous!
This is such a gorgeous look! I love it, perfect for any date night. And oh my that tattoo liner! I received one in my Ipsy Glam bag one month and have been hooked ever since!
Yes the setting spray is an absolute must for me as well!
Your make up looks fabulous. Thanks so much for this idea this shadows looks absolutely gorgeous on you !
Perfect valentine day look and you look flawless! Love the palette you have used.
Your face is glowing! Don't even get me started on those lips girl…. ugh, killin' it!
You look gorgeous. I love red, so I'm loving the eye shadow combination.
Your very welcome! I hope you got a chance to give it a try!!
Valentines day is so special for me every year and I am in love with these makeup ideas & you look gorgeous. I use Almond oil regularly and I am in love with that Hourglass Primer & that beautiful palette as well.
Thanks! I like to use items that won't clog my pores and Almond oil is a lifesaver. Thank you for the kind words!
Oh my gosh this look is beautiful! Great walkthrough too girl!
Your makeup is on fleek!

First Lady Jill Biden Shares Empathy For the Cancer Community, 'It Can Be Such A Lonely, Difficult Journey'
Jill Biden has been greatly affected by cancer like so many of us, and says she wants to turn this loss into progress on research.
Marisa Sullivan
Comforting Words on Cancer
First Lady Jill Biden, 69, has experienced a huge amount of loss to cancer. She's lost her step-son, her parents, and her four best friends to the disease, and has shared a promise to keep fighting for the cancer community in a touching Instagram post.
Jill Biden's step-son Beau, who died from brain cancer, survived a fatal car crash that took his mother and 1-year-old sister's lives when he was a toddler.
If you have cancer in your family, you should consider genetic testing. Read cancer survivor Amy Armstrong's brave story.
Dr. Jill Biden, 69, has experienced tremendous loss from cancer, and now as the new First Lady she says she intends to do whatever she can to advance cancer research and show her support for survivors.
Jill shared a touching message for the entire cancer community on her @FLOTUS Instagram page. "Cancer can be such a lonely, difficult journey for patients, loved ones who care for them, and the providers and researchers who work hard for them, she wrote. "On #WorldCancerDay, I want you to know Joe and I are here for you and will never stop fighting for you." Joe Biden was just sworn in as 46th President of the United States.

The new First Lady's parents both died from cancer, and she and husband Joe, 78, have experienced the hardest loss imaginable when they lost their son, Beau Biden (Jill's step-son she raised since he was young), to brain cancer in 2015 at 46 years old. "For over a year, I watched my brave, strong, funny, bright, young son fight brain cancer: chemotherapy, operation after operation, weight loss," she said at a 2017 gala. "But I never gave up hope. As a mother, you can't. I had to be strong for my children and my husband, but most of all for my son Beau, because in the middle of it all, he was being strong for all of us. So, I kept going."
Cancer is Universal
In her Instagram video, Dr. Biden spoke about the challenge that so many of us unfortunately face. "There is one challenge that unites us all. One thread of pain that runs through every community … and that is cancer."
As a 2019 guest columnist for The Gazette, the New Jersey native wrote about being affected by breast cancer. "I've seen its destruction up close: In one year, four of my friends were diagnosed with breast cancer, and one of those friends didn't survive. Despite the progress we've made on breast and other cancers, 'malignant' remains one of the most frightening words in the English language."

A Tragic Family Past
Jill posted a heartfelt video late last year that showed old footage of her husband with his two young boys, Beau and Hunter. "Joe was a single father when I met him." Joe Biden's first wife Neilia had died in a tragic car accident with their 1-year-old daughter Naomi back in 1972. Sons Hunter and Beau, 3 and 4 at the time, survived. Jill and Joe share a daughter together, Ashley, 39. The Bidens have been blessed with seven grand-children, one named Naomi after Joe's late daughter.

Cancer in the Family
If there is cancer in your family, genetic testing can be crucial to stay ahead of the game and help you be more proactive. Amy Louise Armstrong, a breast cancer survivor, was also challenged with stomach cancer, and shared her journey with SurvivorNet.
Armstrong's family decided to do genetic testing and her mother found out that she had a very rare stomach cancer gene called CDH1. "If you have this gene, not only is it incredibly rare, but you're also confronted to making a pretty big decision to avoid getting stomach cancer," she said. "You have to have a prophylactic gastrectomy," which is removal of the stomach. "When my mom found out that she had the gene, it had a domino effect for, not only her siblings to be tested for the gene, but also her children. And three out of four of us, my siblings, tested positive for the gene."
Armstrong went on to explain that CDH1 is a dominant gene, which means every single person has a 50-50 shot of having it. "When I found out about having the gene, I was angry, terrified. At 35 years old, I didn't think that I would have to be confronted with something such as a great decision to get your stomach removed." Armstrong happily reported that she wound up doing great two years later, and she's feeling "fabulous" both mentally and physically.
When Cancer Runs in the Family: Survivor Amy Armstrong On The Importance of Genetic Testing
Keeping A Positive Outlook
"Stay positive" is one of the top phrases in the cancer community. TikTok user Nika Stewart, a breast cancer survivor, uses humor in a video compilation to inspire cancer survivors to do just that. From making fun of her bald head, to showing off a room full of fun wigs of every color, she uses her platform to keep her 110,000 followers—and fellow survivors— inspired.

I first got to know Madu via LinkedIN.
This was back in Oct 2015 and he was a recent follower of my blog. Coincidentally both of us registered for the same event within that week and that is where we first caught up.
We met up a few days later over coffee and spent close to 3 hours learning about each other products and businesses. You know those moments when you first got to know someone new but it felt like you had known them for ages?
That was how it felt for me. If not for other appointments, we probably would have spent the entire day at StarBucks talking.
He was still running MENTOR.Careers then and has since shifted his focus on his new business – Salary Board.
Currently, I lead the launch of Salary Board, a Singaporean startup that allows HR professionals research and compares market pay data based on a variety of factors such as job description, company size, specific skills and more, in an accurate and reliable way.
The service will be soon available to the general public as well so that you can eliminate the doubt on how much you are worth in the market.
With this additional service, we aim to support professionals negotiate better their salaries and benefits.
What I do on a daily basis is pretty diverse, from new hires, project management, sales and marketing, help define and prioritise product features, administrative work and more. I guess this is common among all start-up founders.
I even do some coding when needed.
2. What were you doing before starting your business?
I´ve had been an entrepreneur for the last 5-6 years when I decided that the corporate life can´t provide me with the lifestyle I aim for.
First, I went to launch the Spanish branch of a large international ESP (Email Service Provider). That was an excellent practice since a lot of processes were in place and gave me the time to sharpen my B2B sales skills and abilities to build effective teams which I find precious for anyone launching new businesses.
Next, I moved to Singapore where I´ve co-founded together with a French media group a company offering B2B loyalty solution for large e-commerce websites.
We´ve had the luck to work with the biggest players in the market and it was a great period of growth for me acting as CEO of the company.
Keen to put my energy into more meaningful businesses, I did a personal exit a little over a year ago.
Our vision at Salary Board is to support professionals in SE Asia work in a workplace that they enjoy doing it. We choose to tackle salaries and benefits because this is one of the most aching problems we identified.
We will expand it in the future to include other aspects of the workplace.
3. How did the idea for this business come about?
My notebook contains a list of 40+ business ideas based on opportunities I´ve identified in the last couple of years. When choosing to work on Salary Board, the first question was what I can dedicate my energy to that aligns with what inspires other people I know and me, and at that intersection what are the strongest competencies that we have.
I befriended Adriel, my current co-founder, at The Hub Singapore and although we didn´t discuss this project from the beginning, we did explore ideas to do together since there were a lot of synergies on our values and how we think about building a company.
4. What sacrifices have you had to make to be a successful entrepreneur?
Wouldn't call them sacrifices cause I love what I do and anything has an opportunity cost. Nevertheless, I do miss spending more time with friends and family. Also to travel at the same frequency, I used to do a couple of years ago. Hustling in a start-up can get pretty intensive at times.
We've been bootstrapping for some months using our money and two months ago we got an iJam grant which helped us accelerate our product development.
We work from a shared office, on a minimum plan, pay minimum salaries to ourselves and we focus on being as productive as possible. Tapping on our previous network of contacts has helped us to reduce some costs while working with excellent professionals.
Overall I think that Singapore is a sweet spot to start a start-up, especially because of the help from the Singapore government. Take for example the low rents, the grants and all that happens at BASH.
6. Could you describe your first sale and how it came about?
My first significant sale was a sponsorship deal for an email marketing boot camp that I co-founded in Spain. I was working from home and cheered out loud by myself when I received the confirmation email after weeks of pursuing the deal.
The overall company strategy and objectives are the starting points when considering marketing activities. Next, I look at a well-defined content plan that will be applied on various channels where I test, test and test until being able to define an effective channel strategy.
From experience, partnerships with well-established brands that have common target market tend to give the best ROI. Secondly, direct marketing and SEM perform best but of course; there is a lot of variances depending on the business you are in.
8. Describe your typical day?
Happy to say that there's no typical day. I'm usually up around 7.30 and every other day starts with a 20 minutes meditation. Sometimes I play squash. Both energise me, although in different ways. After breakfast with my wife, I would head to the office. I take advantage of the trip to read the news and prepare/review my agenda.
If I take the last week as an example, I will start the day with an interview or two for a position we are looking to fill. The rest of the morning I would spend it working on product dev, helping with the data cleaning or gathering more insights out of it.
After lunch, I would do some finance and admin tasks, such as preparing a contract or applying to a fintech incubation programme we are considering joining. Later would check on the progress of the MVP frontend before heading to a networking event or meeting possible partner, usually outside the office.
9. Who has been your greatest influence in your business and why?
I had the luck to be mentored by a couple of persons to whom I hold great respect and appreciation. Their example and teachings have significantly shaped who I am today. I maintain different relationships with them: a client, a teacher from my MBA, a former boss or purely an older entrepreneur friend.
Nonetheless, there are teachings to be taken in many people we interact with. I believe we just need to pay enough attention.
10. What has been your proudest moment in the history of your business and why?
The day I've joined a successful sales meeting that was run by one of my team members, with a potential customer. I realised that all the previous time invested in forming my collaborator was well invested and that he can now be autonomous. I believe entrepreneurs create opportunities for people to grow and develop, and I felt proud of the fact that I could be a part of it.
11. What were some of the biggest lessons that have impacted the way that you work?
I can name you two.
The day a contract with a significant provider wasn't renewed. It made me think and act more seriously about contingency plans.
The day I decided, after a people management course, to use a GTD (get thing done) app. It took me about six months to make it a part of my life but it eliminates so much stress.
12. What is your biggest screw-up over your entrepreneurial journey?
Would pick starting a company with a person I didn't know very well and not setting clear expectations of what is required from each side. We went through 5+ months of frustrations during which a lot of the initial connections and skills of the co-founder turned out to be just smoke. It was a loss of time, money and energy but a lesson well learned.
13. If you could go back in time to speak with your 20-year-old self, what would you tell him?
Have respect for persons and build real, authentic relationships with the people you work and live with.
Be wise in the decisions you take, because everything is in a dynamic balance, there's no such thing as black or white. The reality is more like a quantum superposition.
Get as much feedback as you can about your actions and act upon that feedback by constantly trying to become better.
14. What advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs?
Build a business that resonates with what inspires you, solving a validated problem and that makes economic sense. And if you are in your 20s and you think you don't know yourself all the way through, maybe it's smart to figure that first.
15. Where can people find you online?
I could be reached at madu at salaryboard dot com and via LinkedIN.


Mitsubishi Lancer is built since 1973 and represents one of the most appreciated Japanese cars. It looks good, it feels aggressive, and it runs like there is no tomorrow. The design is compact, yet the car is not small at all. About ten generations were released so far, and chances are the fancy Lancer will move on. This video presents a Mitsubishi Lancer in a parking lot, while drifting around cars and pillars. The video is grabbed from the fourth "Fast and Furious" movie. Han donates this car to Sean in order to practice drifting. Obviously, he crashes it a little before succeeding.
