Motorola Moto X Release Date, Specs and Footage Leaked
By Abdullah Saad
Jul 12, 2013 18:55 EDT
The Last 24 hours have been a flurry of leaks of the much anticipated Google Flagship Motorola Moto X . Leaked roadmap from Verizon indicated the Moto X to have a release date of somewhere in August. If rumours are to be believed the date is 'August 23'.
Leaked Specs indicate that Google's Flagship Smartphone will have a 720p OLED display ranging anywhere from 4.3 to 4.7 Inches. It is also rumoured to have NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11ac Wifi and Dual Antenna. As of yet Reports indicate that it will ship with Android 4.2.2, though it might be Android 4.2.3.
Moto X Video
Recently leaked footage shows Motorola Executive wielding the Moto X itself. For the the complete video head on to his Google Plus page. Though the video is not very clear the device in the hands of the executive is obviously the Moto X compared to the previously leaked photos of the same.
As we wait for the Official Unveiling of the Motorola Moto X, it seems that Google's New Flagship will be provided a huge 500 million dollars worth of funds for its marketing campaign. Since Motorola has been acquired by Google Inc the Moto X has been awaited as the leading standard in next generation smart phones and early reports support the claim. Now that it has come to light that Google is dishing out upwards of 500 million dollars to market the Moto X, it raises interesting questions about the phones design, performance and price.
Rumours indicate the Moto X to be priced upward of 599 $ (Contract based price will be considerably
lower rumoured to be around $199) and to have quite a handful of new features. It appears that the Moto X will be "contextually aware", meaning that it will be aware of its surroundings; the Moto X will know if you are in a car or walking on the road.
It also raises the interesting question whether Google is spending 500 Million dollars to Market Moto X or save a flailing company it recently acquired. This massive figure compares with the yearlong spending of Apple (333 Million) and Samsung (401 Million).
The Moto X will also be free of bloatware apps or at least have a massively reduced quantity. It will even have laser engraving and case customisation options. The specs of the Moto X are rumoured to be equivalent to Google Nexus 4, not counting the new and mysterious 'surrounding' sensors.
The hype around Google's new flagship is beginning and though reports indicate nothing to the contrary it better live up to the hype.

Shasta Mosquito and Vector Control performs annual surveillance for Ixodes pacifcus and Dermacentor sp. ticks, attempting to establish abundance trends, and provide residents with areas of heightened public concern. Ticks have the potential to vector such diseases as Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and Tick-borne relapsing fever.
There are a few common species within the District. Western black legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) populations are regularly tested for infectious agents. American dog tick (Demacentor occidentalis) and Pacific Coast tick (Dermacentor variabilis) are not currently known to vector any disease within the District.
Lyme Disease is known to be transmitted in Shasta County. District staff routinely find Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme Disease, in area-collected ticks as part of their tick surveillance program.
To find out more about the current tick population in the District, please visit our vector population page.


Killed in action during the Battle of Jutland, aged 26 years.
Thomas Elwyn Jones was born in Rhyl, Flintshire in 1889.
The 1901 Census shows that the family lived at 'Bonlondeb', Brighton Road, Rhyl, Flintshire. The head of the family was Samuel Thomas Jones aged 47, who was a Calvinistic Methodist Minister. His wife Mary Jones aged 40 and their 8 (eight) children – William H Jones aged 16, Mary Jones aged 15, Thomas Elwyn Jones aged 11, Hannah E Jones aged 7, Helena E Jones aged 6, Annie G Jones aged 4, Alun T Jones aged 3 and Samuel G Jones aged 6 months. Also living with the family was Phoebe Ann Hughes aged 14, who was employed as a General Domestic Servant.
On leaving school Thomas was accepted into Bangor University where he obtained a First Class Degree in Mathematics. He was a keen sportsman and Captained the Cricket, Football and Tennis Teams.
In 1912 he was appointed Senior Mathematics Master at Carmarthen Grammar School and stayed in this post until July 1914, when he moved to Greenwich to study at the Royal Naval College.
A Carmarthen schoolboy, Sidney Philip Perkins was sitting in his classroom at Carmarthen Grammar School, waiting for his mathematics teacher to arrive. He was surprised to see him enter the room in a full Royal Navy Officer's uniform. The teacher, Thomas Elwyn Jones told the assembled schoolchildren: I have come to say goodbye, I am joining HMS Defence as a Mathematics Instructor. If you hear of a naval action in the North Sea, the Defence will be there. Thomas was joining the ill fated Minataur Class Armoured Cruiser, HMS Defence, blown up in the Battle of Jutland on 31 May 1916. As Perkins later wrote in his memoirs 'Famous Last Words'.
On Sunday 31 December 1916, Thomas joined the crew of HMS Defence one of his duties being to teach Mathematics and Physics to the Ship's Midshipmen.
The Battle of Jutland was a naval battle fought by the British Royal Navy's Grand Fleet under Admiral Sir John Jellicoe against the Imperial German Navy's High Seas Fleet under Vice-Admiral Reinhard Scheer. It was fought from 31 May 1916 to 1 June 1916, in the North Sea near the coast of Denmark.
HMS Defence was sunk on Wednesday 31 May 1916. The ship's magazine was detonated by fire from a German Battle cruiser. The fire from the explosion spread to the ship's secondary magazine, which also exploded. There were no survivors and 903 men were killed.
Two other Royal Navy sailors whose names appear on the Rhyl War Memorial were also killed during the Battle of Jutland – Lieutenant Alfred Bakewell who was killed in action when HMS Onslaught was severely damaged by enemy shells on 31 May 1916 and Signal Boy Peter James Thomas aged 16, who was also killed in action when HMS Invincible was sunk on 31 May 1916.
Thomas is also remembered on The Plymouth Naval Memorial, on a Remembrance Plaque at The Royal Alexandra Hospital, Marine Drive, Rhyl, Flintshire and on The North Wales Heroes Memorial Arch, Deiniol Road, Bangor, North Wales.

The Red Skelton Show, which was named after the lead comedian, was one of the most popular TV shows that aired during the 1960s. People looked forward to being entertained, and this show never failed to disappoint. On occasion, the directors would turn attention to more sobering topics, and this video features one such topic.
The topic chosen for this special monolog was the meaning behind the words used in the Pledge of Allegiance. The host of the show recalls a time when he was a boy in school and one of his teachers gave a sobering lesson he would never forget.
Red recalls how his teacher was disappointed that the pledge was being repeated monotonously. He wanted the children to truly understand what they were saying. It is clear that his teacher's words made a deep impression on him since he is able to recite that speech word for word today, many years later.
What was interesting about the speech was that the teacher in a very literal sense gave each word a definition. This included simple definitions, such as explaining that a state was a group of towns divided by imaginary lines but connected in purpose. Red's teacher then went on to explain more complex concepts such as the flag being a symbol of freedom wherever it proudly stood.
After defining these key terms, Red's teacher then asked the class to recite the pledge once again. One can only imagine how their attitude towards the pledge would have changed as a result of their new found insight.
Any patriot would find his speech moving. Red's message is clear. Knowledge is power. Our children need to be taught more than recitation. They need to understand what makes things the way they are, and how some things are inviolably sacred. That is the only way we will be able to produce free-thinking adults with minds of their own.
If you enjoyed mindslton's performance struck a chord with you as well, share his video with your friends.

You Are Not Alone is een nummer van zanger Michael Jackson, afkomstig van zijn album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. Van dit album is het de tweede uitgebrachte single. Het nummer werd geschreven door de zanger R. Kelly. In de Verenigde Staten werd het de eerste single ooit die debuteerde op nummer 1 in de Billboard Hot 100.

Prestaties
You Are Not Alone is de op twee na succesvolste single van Michael Jackson uit de jaren 90. De enige beter presterende nummers zijn Black or White met 10 nummer 1-posities in verschillende landen, en Scream/Childhood, met 15 nummer 1-posities. You Are Not Alone behaalde de nummer 1-positie in verschillende landen, waaronder de Verenigde Staten en het Verenigd Koninkrijk. In de Nederlandse Top 40 behaalde het nummer de zesde plaats. Doordat het lang in de top 40 bleef staan, behaalde het nummer uiteindelijk 419 punten, waarmee het (samen met Ben) de grootste hit van de zanger werd.

Videoclip
De videoclip van het nummer was controversieel aangezien het beelden van een bijna naakte Michael Jackson en zijn toenmalige vrouw Lisa Marie Presley bevatte. In de meeste versies van de clip zijn de scènes met Michael Jackson als engel (met vleugels) verwijderd.

Plagiaat
In 1995 bevestigde de Belgische auteursrechtenvereniging SABAM dat het lied You Are Not Alone, dat R. Kelly voor Michael Jackson schreef, oorspronkelijk in 1993 werd gecomponeerd door de Belgische componisten en producers Eddy & Danny Van Passel onder de naam If We Can Start All Over. Deze compositie stond op nr. 1 in de Verenigde Staten, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en tal van andere landen. R. Kelly beweerde het nummer te hebben gecomponeerd, maar faalde daarvan bewijs te leveren. Na 12 jaar, op 11 september 2007, gaf de Belgische rechter Danny en Eddy Van Passel gelijk dat zij en niet producer R.Kelly de hit You Are Not Alone hebben gecomponeerd. Op 3 september 2009 bevestigde ook het Hof van Cassatie het arrest van 2007 en de uitspraak moest "internationaal" worden gepubliceerd.

Q: Error attaching User on Kaa C++ I'm currently try to build an application which is sending messages to other endpoints, but I'm getting the following errors when I try to attach an user.

I'm calling function attach user, the same way as the examples
kaaClient->attachUser(KAA_USER_ID, KAA_USER_ACCESS_TOKEN, std::make_shared<UserAttachCallback>(*kaaClient));

I'm using the latest kaa version and running on a Raspberry Pi.

A: Looks like the Raspberry Pi cannot connect to the Kaa Sandbox.
Please check that the Kaa host on the Management page of your Kaa Sandbox web interface is configured to the correct IP address of the PC host it is running on and that the Raspberry Pi can reach the Kaa Sandbox via that IP address. The default setting there is 'localhost' which works well for locally running applications, but needs to be changed for remote access.
Please also make sure the Kaa SDK for all the applications is re-taken after the Kaa host setting change and all the applications are re-built with that Kaa SDK version.
The Kaa operations service IP address is embedded into the Kaa SDK, that is why you should always download the Kaa SDK again and re-build the application should the Kaa IP address change.
See Kaa Networking documentation for more details.

Online health and beauty retailer Feelunique.com has sold a majority stake in the business to Palamon Capital Partners and Sirius Equity. With £10m of investment set to be ploughed into the business, Retail Week speaks to co-founder and chief executive Aaron Chatterley about its growth plans.
Why did you choose to do a deal with Palamon Capital and Sirius Equity?
Palamon have a lot of experience in helping businesses of our kind of size to grow, particularly with international growth. They also really understand online retail. Sirius really understands the luxury market.
We can't say the specific percentage stake the partnership have taken but all of the previous shareholders have stayed and I still have a significant stake.
What are you going to do with the £10m investment?
We've got really big plans to build [the business] up quickly in the next few years. We're targeting far more aggressive growth in the UK market by building the brand through advertising to increase brand awareness.
We will also be investing in infrastructure.
We're looking to grow sales to over £100m in the next three years which we think is realistic, and even slightly conservative.
In such a difficult retailing environment, how can you grow so quickly?
The beauty market online is still very much in its infancy and it's really starting to take off now.
The thing that sets us apart from other companies is the choice and number of brands we have on offer.
We buy directly from the brand, there are no 'grey' market products where the product might not be authentic or could be out of date. I think this has given us a very good reputation among the brands, which is enabling us to sell products from Givenchy and Benefit.
How has Christmas trading been so far?
We're almost finished now with just two weeks to go but it's been fairly strong, and we've seen good growth on last year. Until now we've been focused on getting the deal through and it is the best Christmas present. Now we can get on with trading.
New chairman Robert Bensoussan and board member Jim Short have experience of the luxury market, will this help get more brands on board?
It certainly won't hurt. There are a couple of brands we don't stock yet.


Discussion in 'iOS 7' started by kamilkp, Oct 6, 2013.
I've watched a ton of youtube videos of how to downgrade from iOS 7 to iOS 6, and why it is not possible now (because Apple have stopped signing iOS 6).
But my question is: if i try to restore my phone from a full backup which i took on iOS 6, will it restore my phone along with that version of iOS? Or are backups just for data? And will restoring the phone to factory settings will restore the phone to the state in which i bought it including version of iOS or is it just for the settings?
Is there a some kind of jailbreaking way to go back to iOS 6? Or if not yet, do any of you think it might be possible in near future?
PS. I have an iPhone 5.
Short and unfortunate answer is no. The backup has nothing to do with the actual firmware restoring.
The only way to downgrade is to have your SHSHs/APTickets saved for that particular version.
The answer is NO! You cannot downgrade back to iOS 6.
When you restore your phone, you can choose which firmware version to install (by holding alt when you click restore), but iTunes checks to see whether Apple still allows it to be installed. Apple only allows the latest firmware to be installed. If you try restoring using an iOS 6 .ipsw, iTunes will do its usual check with Apple's software update servers, and you will be told you can't install it, and be prompted to download iOS 7.02 (latest firmware version).
Well known developers/hackers in the jailbreaking scene have come out with ways of downgrading devices to a firmware that you choose, but these methods are limited to mostly early iDevices. For example, I have an iPad 2, and I'm able to use a method (involving some software the jailbreak-scene developers have written) to downgrade my iPad 2 to iOS4 and iOS5 firware provided I have what is called SHSH blobs saved for them. These SHSH blobs are required for the downgrade. You have to obtain them for your own iDevice because they are unique to your own iDevice; you cannot use somebody else's that's been posted on the Internet. You can only obtain the SHSH blobs for a particular firmware version of iOS whilst that version is being signed by Apple (a.k.a whilst that version is still being allowed to install on your device). Obtaining these blobs ensures that you will have them for the future when a method for downgrading might become available.
The downgrade hack works through using some availble software (such as TinyUmbrella, iFaith, or RedSn0w).
please go back to iOS 6 and stay there and never come back on these forums again since we wont be able to talk about the same stuff.
The heck? That was unnecessary.
There are 10+ threads on this first page with the same comment. DO we really need another troll who started a new account just to flame iOS7? Mods needs to merge / clean this up because this forum is worthless having to navigate the same thread about how they hate iOS 7.
Dang, you're being a bit tight in the shorts today, no?
The OP wasn't flaming, he was simply asking a calm and legit question. What's with the "troll" usage? Is that the word for anyone that expresses any bit of concern or dislike to Apple now? The nasty attitude on this forum as of late has been baffling.
...really make me long for the days when we had a downvote button. Now if we want to express our disdain for a post, we have to say it with words. And it's a lot easier to hurt feelings that way. I'm sorry I singled out the same user twice, but I didn't notice the username until I already quoted it.
Steviejobz, I mean no disrespect to you as a person, and I hope one day you understand that not everyone thinks the same way. You don't have to surround yourself with a group of people with the same viewpoint. That's how circle-jerks like r/atheism form.
The thing I really like about the MacRumors forum is the fact that these multiple viewpoints exist in the first place. It seems we can't agree on anything. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
What I like about MacRumors is the Search field. Before OP posted his question, these were on the first 2 pages of threads all with the same question and a variety of thoughts, opinions, and suggested answers.
Was my response harsh? Perhaps a tinge. But if we're going to have constant new accounts w/ new threads to ask a question that has been and continues to be asked 100s of times then the forum becomes a massive $h*tshow. Lastly, OP toned down his original post which initially was more flamish.
No need to play forum police. Takes literally 1 sec to glance at a thread title and ignore it - rather than going in it to complain.
It's a public forum with high traffic. You're going to get repetitive questions everyday from old and new members a like. Get over it or go hide under a rock.

La Alianza del Pacífico: Un largo camino por recorrer hacia la integración
Economics and Globalization
By Adrián Blanco Estévez
The Pacific Alliance, formed in 2012 by Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, represents one of the most ambitious processes of regional economic integration in decades. The four Alliance countries have Latin America's most competitive and open economies. In only two years, the Pacific Alliance members have achieved remarkable progress, integrating their stock markets, lowering trade barriers, and eliminating visas among member countries.
That said, a new study commissioned by the Latin American Program and authored by Adrián Blanco demonstrates that levels of trade and investment among Pacific Alliance countries remain low, superseded by member countries' economic relationships with the United States, China, the European Union, and the countries of MERCOSUR. To deepen and accelerate the process of integration among Alliance members, the study argues for additional public policies in the areas of infrastructure and logistics development, education and human capital formation, and the creation of production clusters.

Q: Integration while solving a differential equation friends.
While solving the differential equation $ (2xy' + y) \cdot \sqrt{1+x} = 1+2x $, I was faced with the following integral: $ \int \frac{(1+2x) \cdot \sqrt{x}}{2x \cdot \sqrt{1+x}} dx $ and I have absolutely no idea how to solve it!
I tried using Symbolab to see the "how-to" but their answer is not very correct, so I turned to Wolfram|Alpha and got: $ \sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x+1} + C $. However, Wolfram|Alpha does not have a "step-by-step" tool (I'm a free-user);
I've tried several resolution tools: variable changes, splitting the integral, etc.
Could anyone shed some light on my problem?
Much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Pedro.

A: It looks worse than it is: cancel out a factor of $\sqrt{x}$ between the numerator and denominator to get
$$\int \frac{1+2x}{\sqrt{x} \sqrt{x+1}} dx = \int \frac{1+2x}{\sqrt{x^2+x}} dx.$$
Then just recognize $(x^2+x)'=1+2x$.

Ravenna in the rise and fall
of the Roman Empire
Long before anyone had ever heard of Venezia, people in nearby Ravenna paddled around among houses built on small islands in a marshy lagoon.
Today the sea has withdrawn and boats have been replaced by cars, scooters bicycles and designer shoes perfect for promenading along the prosperous shop-fronts in Ravenna's central labyrinth of pedestrian streets. In between high-heels and handmade leather, you'll see a pair of sensible sneakers. They are almost inevitably linked to tourists determined to visit all of Ravenna's eight World Heritage Sites in one go.
A point of departure
But before giving in to the study of early Christian mosaics like the Arian Baptistry, I'd like to dwell on Ravenna's role in the rise and decline of the Roman Empire.
It was in Ravenna Julius Caesar gathered his forces after having conquered Gaul and invaded Britain, and from this obscure place he crossed the Rubicon, marched on Rome and became the unrivalled leader of the Roman world.
Glittering mosaics in the 6th century San Vitale Basilica from the style period when late antique Roman became Byzantine.
The return of an emperor
And it was to Ravenna one of the last Roman Emperors, Flavius Honorius, fled, when the Western Empire started to crumble. The town offered shelter in highly inaccessible swamps and marshes along with support from the imperial forces of the Eastern Roman Empire. In this way Ravenna enjoyed a peaceful period when early Christian art could flourish and prolonged imperial history in the West for another 70 years.
A happy coincidence for the world's mosaics heritage and a great example of how history repeats itself – or at least returns to its point of origin.
@Travelwriticus says:
When I visited Ravenna I was especially impressed by the Mausoleum of Theodoric. He played also a role in the end of the Roman Empire.

A brazen thief stole a juror's bike from outside a Reading court in the middle of the afternoon.
Ryan Harvey's bike had been locked up opposite Reading Crown Court but the presence of the judges serving up justice to criminals across the road was no deterrent to the thief who made off with the bike at around 3.30pm on Tuesday, September 25.
Mr Harvey, 23, of Waverley Road, Reading, Berkshire, had been cycling to the court for jury service each day.
He said: "It was very very brazen.
"You'd have to have a lot of audacity to steal something from there but clearly he does.
"I don't understand why he robbed my bike, it's not the most expensive and it's not in very good condition.
"The back brakes don't work, so who knows, maybe he'll crash into something?"
He added: "It was locked up outside with a standard bike lock.
"When I finished around 4pm I looked out but couldn't see it.
"As I was standing there a lady came out and I questioned where my bike had gone.
"She said she had just witnessed someone steal it."
According to Mr Harvey, the woman was able to take photos, and had sent someone to catch the thief, but he managed to escape.
He said: "It was pretty vital to get to and from jury service.
"Because it's in Reading I thought I'd cycle, do the world a favour and save some fuel. Then that happened."
Mr Harvey described the bike as a black mountain bike, but is unaware of the make or model.
He said: "It was my Dad's bike and he gave it to me, so it has a little bit of sentimental value.
"I'm more shocked that they don't have any CCTV outside court, that's what's shocking really, I thought it would be on camera. "
The theft has been reported to Thames Valley Police.
Anyone who witnessed the theft, or has information relating to this case, please call 101, quoting 43180293233.
Police data shows a total of 6,882 bikes were recorded as stolen by Thames Valley Police in 2017/18, which equates to 19 bikes on average a day.

What country is Muay Thai from?
Did Muay Thai come from China?
Is Muay Thai an Indian?
Is Muay Thai spiritual?
How did Muay Thai come to Brazil?
What is a Muay Thai gym called?
The origin of Muay Thai, as a fighting style, is thought to have developed for centuries as tribes migrated south from the steppes of China through Vietnam, Laos, Burma, and Cambodia.
Muay Thai, also known as Thai Boxing, is the national sport and ancient cultural martial art of Thailand. It is said to have originated around the 14th century. … Seeing all this achievement in national competitions he was selected to represent India at IFMA Muay Thai World Championship in Bangkok in 2019.
Unbeknown to many, Muay Thai's connections to spirituality and meditation run deep. True Muay Thai fighters pray a Buddhist prayer before every match, and many trainers require their students to meditate in between training sessions.
A Taekwondo black belt named Nelio Naja is credited with bringing this art to Brazil. Nelio learned Muay Thai during a trip to Thailand and took to it quickly. At the time, Taekwondo did not have the Olympic point-sparring aspect influencing it and was a much harder art which included leg kicks and elbow strikes.
McDojo: A martial arts school that is solely established to make money and teaches an inauthentic form of martial arts. The term "McDojo" has been floating around for a while. You can find McDojos around the world but the US is a hotbed for many of these fake martial arts schools and masters.

(3) those things I could not handle or do on my own without informing, and often getting the blessing of, my superiors.
Throughout my career, I never received better guidance for keeping those above me informed. But how to execute that advice since we are really talking about an endless series of judgment calls?
Not all bosses are the same. Their personalities, individual needs for information, and personal sense of what they should know, differ. We can err on the side of caution, try to tell them everything, and risk coming across as unsure of ourselves and always seeking their permission. Or, we can err on the side of trying to show them we can handle things on our own and risk leaving them uninformed about matters that should legitimately involve them.
I believe it helps as a manager if you begin by recognizing the fundamental importance of managing up by keeping your boss well informed. The next step involves taking the time to assess your boss's personality, operating style, and information needs. Does your boss want all the details or just the big picture? Finally, since two of the three categories I mentioned above involve providing some information to the boss, be prepared to err on the side of upward communication more often than not.
Over time as your relationship with individual superiors develops, your judgment calls and feel for what needs communicating — the "just thought you should knows" — will improve. So also will your confidence in asking for permission to act only when absolutely necessary. I always preferred, when needing permission, to phrase my communication in a way that offered my thoughts on what should be done unless he or she thought otherwise. You might be surprised to find that this approach works far more often than you might think and demonstrates your ability as a problem solver.
But what if you don't like your boss and don't much care if they succeed? I'm sorry, but that is no excuse for sabotage or attempts to undermine her or him by keeping them in the dark. Over time, you will only hurt yourself. Moreover, such behavior undermines the organization's management structure and hinders organizational performance. Doing the right thing is important even when you dislike your boss. So keep them informed.
Mr. Busch, You provide some very useful and insightful stuff. I've subscribed to your blog and look forward to future posts.
Thank you for the discussion. I took for granted that employees knew what to communicate to their boss, especially seasoned employees but am learning everyone has not developed that skill. The last paragraph about "liking" a leader is critical because while an employee may think they are hurting their manager by withholding information it is more likely than not they are hurting themselves.


New Delhi, Jan 30: Vice Admiral G Ashok Kumar has assumed charge as Vice Chief of the Naval Staff, Indian Navy said on Wednesday.
An alumnus of Sainik School, Amaravathi Nagar and National Defence Academy, Khadakvasla, Pune, he was commissioned into the Executive Branch of the Indian Navy on July 1, 1982, it added.
The Admiral has held various challenging Staff and Command assignments during his distinguished naval career spanning more than three decades.
After having completed his specialisation in Navigation and Direction at Kochi in 1989, he served as the Navigating Officer of Indian Naval Ships Beas, Nilgiri, Ranvir and Vikrant.
His other sea tenures include Commanding Officer of INS Kulish and Ranvir, and Executive Officer onboard INS Brahmaputra.
Among his shore tenures, the important ones include Staff officer (Ops/ND) at Indian Naval Work-up team, Head of Training Team (Navy) at Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, Defence Advisor at the High Commission of India in Singapore and the Chief Staff Officer (Operations) of the Western Naval Command.
On promotion to Flag rank, he has held the important assignments of Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST), Chief of Staff (COS) of Southern Naval Command and Flag Officer Maharashtra and Gujarat (FOMAG). In the rank of Vice Admiral he has been the Commandant of the National Defence Academy and the Deputy Chief of Naval Staff.


One week after his triumph at the French Open, Rafael Nadal, the two time Wimbledon finalist, defeated Novak Djokovic in a grueling match to win his first grass court title at the Artois Championships 7-6, 7-5.
After surviving a break point in the opening game, Djokovic broke Nadal at love to take a 3-0 lead. With his aggressive play, Djokovic had the chance to take a 4-0 lead, but Nadal fought off multiple breaks points to get on the scoreboard 3-1. In the next game, Djokovic paid the price when a net court gave Nadal the point and the players went back on serve. With his advantage gone, Djokovic showed his displeasure by banging his racket. With Nadal beautifully using angles and constructing points that allowed him to get to net, Rafa was getting under Djokovic's skin. Appropriately, the first set was decided by a tiebreak. After leading by one mini-break or at even several times, Djokovic had a set point at 6-5 when Nadal made an error. But, thanks to a long rally which knocked Djokovic to the ground, Nadal saved the set 6-6. On the next point, despite a great serve by Djokovic, Nadal had an even better reply. This led to Rafa's first set point which was all he needed to things up.
Djokovic got off to an inauspicious start in the second set and was broken at love. After dismissing a break point on his serve, Nadal extended his lead 2-0. After being down 15-40, Djokovic battled back to get on the board 2-1. Finally, in the sixth game, Djokovic had a break opportunity and converted 3-3. Nadal had double break point in the eight game; but lady luck smiled on Novak. First, with a bad bounce then, with Rafa losing his footing, Novak held his serve.
Djokovic built on that momentum by breaking Nadal at love with some spectacular shots 5-4. Thus, it appeared that a decisive third set would be played. As Djokovic served for the set, Nadal produced a terrific defensive lob in a rally to ultimately earn a break point. After getting to deuce a couple of times, Nadal's persistence paid dividend and he leveled the set at 5-5. After easily holding his own, Nadal pressured Djokovic's serve with shots such as a forehand down the line for a winner. When Novak misfired on a volley, Nadal arrived at match point. On the subsequent play, Nadal lured Djokovic to the net with a drop volley and put away the winner to prevail in the tournament.
In doubles, after defeating the Bryan brothers, the number one seed, in the quarterfinals, Marcelo Melo/Andre Sa faced the second seed, Daniel Nestor/ Nenad Zimonjic, in the finals. Team Nestor/ Zimonjic won the title in straights sets 6-4, 7-6.
In the quarterfinals, Nadal survived a barrage of aces, 35, from Ivo Karlovic to advance by winning a third set tiebreak. In the semifinals, Rafa had a fairly routine win over defending champion Andy Roddick. On the other hand, Djokovic's path was less sinuous with his dismissal of Lleyton Hewitt in the quarterfinals and a thumping victory over David Nalbandian in the semifinals, the latter won one game. If this match is a preview of what's in store for Wimbledon, those two weeks will be quite exciting.

Shocking video of daylight attack
1st Sep 2020 5:14 AM
WARNING: Graphic content
A shocking video of a man being attacked while walking on a street in the US has emerged on social media.
The video, which was uploaded to Instagram on Monday, shows a man with a green T-shirt, shorts and cap, walking along a footpath before being approached by a man from behind.
The second man hits the lone walker over the head with what appears to be a brick.
He then falls to the ground, face first as the attacker runs off.

A video has emerged of a man being attacked from behind while walking on a street in the US. Picture: Instagram
"YOUNG MAN YOU GOT KNOCKED TF OUT. B***H YOU BET NOT RUN," the caption read. It also contained the hashtags #whitelivesdon'tmatter' and #blacklivesmatter
While the clip hasn't been verified and the context is unclear, it appears to have happened on Monday in the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
The video has been viewed nearly 3000 times since it was uploaded, with many flooding the post with comments of disbelief. The post has since been removed.
"This guy needs to be arrested. The rest of you in the comments need to look yourselves in the mirror," one Instagram user wrote.
"Unfortunately you're right," another person responded. The post also attracted racist comments.

It comes after Black Lives Matter protests continue to dominate the streets of America following the death of George Floyd in May.
They have recently been reignited in Wisconsin after police repeatedly shot an African-American man, Jacob Blake, in the back.
The protests have sometimes descended into rioting, vandalism and violence.
Both the US president and the Mayor of Portland have blamed each other for violence at ongoing Black Lives Matter rallies, where a man was fatally shot in the chest as Donald Trump's supporters and left-wing demonstrators clashed.
On Sunday, Mr Trump called Mayor Ted Wheeler a "fool" on Twitter and said to "Bring in the National Guard", while Mr Wheeler blamed the President for creating such a toxic environment.

LONG BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION, AFRICAN AMERICAN HERITAGE SOCIETY OF LONG BEACH, AND FAITH LEADERS LAUNCH FUND FOR RACE, EQUITY, AND JUSTICE RESOURCES AT THE LONG BEACH PUBLIC LIBRARY
LONG BEACH, California, June 24, 2020 – The Long Beach Public Library Foundation, in partnership with the African American Heritage Society of Long Beach (AAHS-LB) and local faith leaders, has launched a fund for materials and programs related to race, equity, and justice at the Long Beach Public Library.
As an extension of the Library's African American Resource Collection, supported and curated by AAHS-LB, this fund will support the purchase of new materials including books, eBooks, and audiobooks that promote the voices, narratives, and histories of African Americans. The fund will also support similarly-themed events and activities hosted by the Library. Programs and materials will also educate the public on issues such as anti-Black racism, white privilege, white supremacy, mass incarceration, other forms of institutional racism, and human rights issues that have plagued our society.
"The African American Heritage Society of Long Beach is proud to partner with the Long Beach Public Library Foundation to launch the fund for race, equity, and justice resources at the Library," said Nicole Ballard, President of AAHS-LB. "Since 1619, people of African descent have endured devastating physiological, psychological, and socio-economic trauma from systemic racism and oppression in all of its forms. I believe that public acknowledgment of these critical issues, combined with resources and community support, will yield positive, meaningful changes. Therefore, we remain dedicated to preserving and expanding public awareness of the rich history and culture of Africans and African Americans through literacy and community programming."
"Because of this effort, I am pleased that we are able to provide more resources on the issues of systemic oppression of Black people and the social injustices that people of color encounter on a daily basis," said Glenda Williams, Director of Library Services for the Long Beach Public Library.
"As an organization that has long advocated for equity in education and literacy, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation board and staff wholeheartedly agree Black lives matter. When Reverends Melinda Teter Dodge and Katy Hyman approached us on behalf of a faith community looking to take action, we agreed our role in ending systematic racism would be to ensure anti-racist education was widely available to all who were committed to learning," said Sharon Weissman, President of the Long Beach Public Library Foundation. "Funding resources to educate the public on white privilege, racism, and African American heritage is a critical component to finding equity for all members of the Long Beach community,"
This fund was conceived when local faith leaders, Reverend Teter Dodge and Reverend Hyman, contacted the Library Foundation to form a collaboration in support of broad community access to anti-racist educational resources through the Long Beach Public Library system.
"To become anti-racist, we must enact and support broad and deep systemic change, and that kind of change begins from within us. It begins—within our nation—within our states, cities, workplaces, communities, neighborhoods, home, and families. But, most of all, this change begins within our own individual hearts," said Reverend Teter Dodge. "We must take the steps to open our hearts to our own perpetuating systemic and individual racism and white privilege as well as hear from and listen deeply to the narratives of our African American communities."
"White Christianity has actively contributed to racist structures and policies, both in the past and the present. As a historically white congregation, we want to take responsibility for our role in this and work to dismantle white supremacy," said Reverend Hyman. "We believe that education and activism go hand in hand, so making materials widely accessible to the Long Beach community through the LBPL is an important part of the process."
Those interested in supporting the fund are welcome to make a tax-deductible donation of any size online at lbplfoundation.org/aarc. Supporters may also issue checks or money orders to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation at 200 W. Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90802. Please indicate that the donation is for the African American Resource Center (AARC) or the Fund for Race, Equity, and Justice. Donors are also welcome to suggest anti-racist books they would like to see more widely available at the Library.
The Long Beach Public Libraries are temporarily closed to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Learn about library resources and services currently available including eBooks, audiobooks, research databases, weekly online programs, and the new contactless pick-up service for books and DVDs at longbeach.gov/library.
The Long Beach Public Library Foundation, an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, provides support to enhance the Main Library and 11 neighborhood branches of the Long Beach Public Library and encourages literacy and education for all members of the community. LBPLfoundation.org
Since 1997, the African American Heritage Society of Long Beach (AAHS-LB) has dedicated its efforts and resources to the preservation of African and African-American history, achievement, and culture. With the establishment of the Long Beach Public Library's African American Resource Center at Burnett Library, AAHS-LB continues to engage, educate, and empower the community through literacy, genealogy research, and public programming. www.aaheritagelb.org
Reverend Melinda Teter Dodge serves three United Methodist Churches across the city of Long Beach who are working together to lift up the voice of an all-inclusive, loving God who yearns for justice for all peoples.
Reverend Katy Hyman is a community minister at First Congregational Church of Long Beach, a liberal, progressive church, welcoming of all, and passionately committed to social justice.

LPBW: Huge Loss In Isabel Roloff's Family, "Christmas Will Never Be The Same" Pays Tribute To The Lost Soul!

LPBW: Isabel Roloff Remembers Her Late Mom; Talks Of Her 'Christmas Miracle'
Isabel Roloff often uses her Instagram handle to share many uplifting and thought-provoking posts. However, her latest picture talked of something tragic. Unfortunately, the star lost her mother during the Christmas season many years ago. As a result, this time of the year has been quite hard for her. That's because the star holds "grief" and "joy" during holidays. The former TV star explained that it was around this season many years ago that she lost her mom in 2014. Alas, Isabel's mother, Toni Garretson, lost her battle with breast cancer that year.
The TLC alum reminisced the time during Christmas from 2014 and talked of a "miracle". Apparently, her mother was in the hospital, and little Isabel wanted nothing more than the former coming back home for the auspicious day. TV Season & Spoilers revealed that she recalled spending the night at the hospital and realizing the medical staff catering to the patients at that time. Roloff learned that they are actually angels for the work they do. Eventually, Izzy's mo ther
got to go home the "next day." Thus, this was a miracle for her family.
A post shared by Isabel Sofia (@isabelsofiarock)
Later on, the Roloff family member revealed that Christmas is different for her this year. That's because she is a mother now. Moreso, she empathized with the people going through the same loss as her during the holidays. The new mother reminded them that it is okay to "feel sad". All LPBW fans began sharing their own experiences with grief in the comments and showered Isabel with blessings for being so resilient.

Her mother's passing isn't the only unfortunate loss that Isabel Roloff has faced in her life. It turns out her younger brother Tomas Garretson also lost his life. As the Christmas season is all about togetherness and family, the Oregon resident remembered her brother too. She shared a wholesome picture on her Instagram stories with two of her brothers. The celebrity admitted that he wasn't around much of the time due to travel. However, having him around holidays used to be a "treat." The mother-of-1 was deeply affected by the loss. She also paid tribute to her sibling in a soul-stirring manner.
Isabel named her newborn son after her brother. Her little one goes by Mateo Tomas Roloff and was born on December 4, 2021. In one of her posts, the former celebrity had talked about coming up with the baby's name many, many years ago. Therefore, all of her well-wishers have been appreciating her a lot for her wholesome gesture. Moreover, they keep sending her and the baby lots of blessings throughout. Keep checking TV Season & Spoilers for more such LPBW updates.

Missing an aileron means all 3 hyd. sys. are opened.
Means NO PRESSURE ---> NO CONTROL, AT ALL!!!
...which still begs the question of whether a heavy jet has ever mislaid an entire aileron en route. I can't believe it's impossible, given that total hydraulic failure has been survived.
Clearly, it represents the a/c BEFORE the Dec 2009 upgrade.
I was unable to open that link so I appreciate your input on that.
So, we know the photo was taken before the modifications on the accident aircraft. So, if that photo is of the accident aircraft -- and not it's partner -- we still don't know the flightdeck configuration of the aircraft since December last year. Correct? Anyone have any specific info on the equipment fit / cockpit configuration from Polish sources?
Also I would be very interested to know the differences (if any) between the squadron's two 154s.
I dare to say that even this is is not clear. The flight to Georgia took place almost two years ago.
Since then the President flew dozens of times (likely - in different weather conditions) without incidents. Since then - I'm sure - both sides (the President and the pilots) learned from that lesson.
I'm sure - both sides (the President and the pilots) learned from that lesson.
The PIC on the accident flight was the FO on the flight in 2008.
and what kind of pressure was put after this flight on the PIC.
The second (remaining) one is beeing upgraded right now in Russia.
So, this means that for the past 3 or 4 months the two aircraft had different equipment and configurations. Do we have any info on how many hours the crew (particularly the Captain) had on the accident aircraft since it's upgrade? And how many hours on the other aircraft since the upgrade (which, as I understand it, would equate to total time since then, as he would have been flying only those two aircraft).
101 made around 140 flight hours after the upgrade. The second machine is being upgraded now.
To me, the only real question is "why were they so low?".
Form the recent Polish media reports, these pilots were known to be very "by the book" types. The idea that they were trying to duck under the fog to find the airport is absolutely unacceptable, especially that they were fairly familiar with the airport and its topography - they must have known about the valley before the runway threshold.
However, the early indications are that they were in a rush. This leaves room for mistakes, especially when using a language foreign to them for communication, perhaps they thought they were given QFE while actually it was QNH? Perhaps they misunderstood one of the digits and their mistake was not caught by the controller? The controller claims they were not fluent in Russian, especially numbers, their superiors claim the opposite. Perhaps in a rushed situation there was a misunderstanding. I am no expert here, but could someone post a likely descent profile if the wrong setting was used? Would it be at all similar to what we have seen so far reconstructed? How much of a difference is there in the QNH-QFE settings at Smolensk?
If you search this thread (using QFE and/or QNH as search terms) you'll find the answers to your questions.
Well... not the answer to "why?" of course. Hopefully the answer to that omni-important question will be answered by MAK's investigation.
Question for TU-154M pilots -- how long do the engines need to come up to full thrust from approach settings if you find yourself a bit low?
According to the AOM - 5 seconds.
From 40%~12 sec. from 70% 8sec.
Ptkay - my opinion was based on the recent interviews with Lt. Grzegorz Pietruczuk (the "Georgia PIC") and Col. Grzegorz Kułakowski from 36 SPLT.
They both didn't consider "the VIP pressure" as a possible cause.
Let's wait for the official report then.
I recall 8 seconds from flight idle to T/O thrust, but those were B-2s with different engines.
To me, the only real question is "why were they so low?"
- Why was this approach commenced at all with all numbers firmly below legal minima?
I think that the answer to your questions will be pressure. On both sides. Little chance someone will admit it officially.

How much of a difference is there in the QNH-QFE settings at Smolensk?
Based on the picture in a previous post (#650), I understand that the threshold altitude is 254 m. If correct, the difference QNH - QFE is about 30 mb.
Based on this same picture, when passing abeam the inbound NDB where it struck the first obstacle, the a/c was about 85 m below the normal flight path. This can be due to a 10 mb difference in the altimeter setting relative to the real pressure.
I share the view that the real question is "why where they so low" but so far I can't believe it was intentional.
My aerodrome is CAT with min 350m/100ft. We never closed, even with RVR 100ft. It's a decision of CPT - there's a reason why he's called pilot in command.
Sorry can't find it somehow, there was a large photo and comment that the airport should cut all trees in approach. As they nearly made it, managed to get sharply up, out of the ? that hole pre-road, made it over the road, but hit the trees again the other road side. That's of course, after this tragedy, absolutely. Still, if you look at the reconstruction aerial maps, of the Smolensk chap who stubbornly works on them (it's easier for him, he is local. can take a drive, look up, after all), they were 15 metres above the road, not 2.5 m above the ground, as they started it, the lowest point, in the hole. May be not the trees on the other road side were the problem for them at that point, but that they were already half turned over, above the road.
The forum over there concluded that if not that turn over they would have made it, they gained their height, got out of the hole. And at least would have landed on the trees the other road side heavy, but not with so many casualties. And that even that they were not on the glissade but slightly leftward -their route, factually taken - the red line - was still bringing them right onto the runway, not bad course, they would do the runway.
I have written that post because spin was not pilot error, as was suggested, but merely the effect of collision with the trees and partial wing loss. Without the trees, they would have find themselves above the runaway and aligned with its left edge. Pilot would than have the chance to try landing, or to continue with climb which he started in the valley. Either way, they would probably still be OK, in spite of all previous errors. It is easy to see that they were in perfect horizontal position during the controlled part of the flight. Look at these pictures.
At the first tree they were 4m above the ground. And a moment later maybe only 2-3m. That is completely impossible if you are not perfectly horizontal. And on picture 7, after the first serious tree collisions, here, you see that the tree cut was higher, but still horizontal. That is the tree before the first road. Pilot lost control probably moment before that, and begin to spin immediately after that. By the next road he was already inverted (picture 9).
In high-resolution satellite photo, here, we can see that the trees were not cut even exactly on the runaway axis. So, whatever errors have led to this situation, they might have had some chance even after all of them, if only the aproach was clear of high trees.
I'll translate a bit, though the same was said here.
- ... using head of the policeman in the photo :o) as an object of known size, my rough estimation is the wing piece was torn off in the area of 32 "nerveure", count the length of the torn away piece yourself. The drive RP-55 is attached to that side of the aileron nearest to the wing, btw 37-38 "nerveures". Which means the drive RP-55 flew away together with the aileron and the hermeticity of all the three hydro-systems was violated. The plane became un-manageable.
- In 5 seconds a critical amount of hydro-substance through three tubes of thickness of one finger will not have time to pour out away, even at the pumps working at full capacity, and in this case this capacity was not requested as the mechanization/the wheels? were let out which means the major part of the liquid was in the tanks.
I thought measurements indicated the first tree was cut at 8 m height.
Certainly saw a photo of the second tree cut, there was a measurement tape, let down off from the cut place, to the ground, and a close shot at the measure by the ground. Haven't seen such a photo, with a tape measure of the first tree, though.
There are still no recordings' transcript released, in Poland, I mean. As far as it's known "around".


Just a reminder, that Equipping Catholic Saints has some great All Saints Day ideas here, including her Super Saints deck of cards!
Up until this year, our family has not been proactive in learning about new saints. This year, in preparation for All Saints, we are encouraging our kids to research a saint, their story, feast day, prayers, etc. Then they will share about their saint with the family. In addition, we will be choosing a patron saint for the family at the beginning of the liturgical year. Slowly we are building an arsenal of saints to intercede for us!
For the individual saints, we will print out a family litany of our new saint friends. You can access a free digital download here: Family Litany of Saints worksheet.
After you have selected and researched the various saints, you might want to consider scheduling novenas with your "new friends" in advance. The website Pray More Novenas has an extensive list of upcoming novenas that you could add to your liturgical calendar.
October features both saints and angels who model virtuous love and charity. St. Thérèse of Lisieux (October 1) described her life as the "little way of spiritual childhood." Even though she is also known as The Little Flower with childlike faith, she knew that what mattered most "is not great deeds, but great love." A strong stubborness and big love fueled her unwavering devotion to God.
On October 2 we recognized our Guardian Angels. Each person on earth has a guardian angel who watches over him and helps him to attain his salvation (JGM, Matthew 18:10). St. Bernard encourages us to "be alert in your every action as one should be who is accompanied by angels in all your ways." And to "love God's angels with a most affectionate love; for they will be our heavenly co-heirs some day."
CRAFT: Inspired by the childlike faith of St. Thérèse, add to your peg doll nativity set by painting baby Jesus and build his manger. Emmaus Road Pegs offers monthly DIY sets to match our curriculum!
God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments. Therefore, I will trust Him. Whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me. Still, He knows what He is about.
"A model of faith and virtue..."
Our first month's activity are to paint pegs dolls of Mary, Joseph, and a donkey. We chose to begin with Mary and Joseph because...well, who else represents the virtue of faith better than these two? It's also been said that donkeys are loyal, faithful animals... As an added bonus, we celebrate the Assumption of Mary into heaven on August 15.
Humility is like a void that leaves room for God.
TIP: If you're looking for an adult resource for pursuing the virtues, you should check out Sara Estabrook at To Jesus, Sincerely. Sara has developed a great curriculum and group challenge on Facebook to keep the momentum going each month. As you learn and grow in virtue, your life will be an example to those around you.
St. Joseph is a man of great spirit. He is great in faith, not because he speaks his own words, but above all because he listens to the words of the Living God. He listens in silence. And his heart ceaselessly perseveres in the readiness to accept the Truth contained in the word of the Living God.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church: "By faith man freely commits his entire self to God. For this reason the believer seeks to know and do God's will." (1814). St. Joseph's life clearly reflects this commitment to God and a man of faith.
ACTIVITY: For your peg dolls, paint Mary, Joseph, and the donkey. Set them out to remind you of their great examples of faith.
The 2018-2019 Year of Virtue calendar will be announced later this month! A limited number of pre-sale calendars will be available. If you would like to be notified of the pre-sale, you can sign up for our monthly newsletter here.

Magellan Midstream Partners (www.magellanlp.com) agreed to pay a $5.3 million civil penalty for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act, according to an announcement by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (www.epa.gov) and the Department of Justice (www.justice.gov). The alleged violations include illegally discharging gasoline and fuel oil from pipelines in Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota, and Arkansas into nearby waterways over the past 10 years.
According to a complaint, the company allegedly discharged more than 17,000 barrels of gas and fuel oil on 11 different dates in violation of the Clean Water Act between March 1999 and May 2006. Two of the largest spills flowed into a tributary and into the Missouri River itself in 1999 and 2005. In 2005, approximately 2,830 barrels of unleaded gasoline spilled from a ruptured pipe near Kansas City, Kan., most of which flowed into the Missouri River, and in 1999, over 4,500 barrels of diesel fuel spilled into the Missouri River near Atchison, Kan.
The spills had a number of causes, including third-party damage from farm equipment and bulldozers, corrosion, leaks, and pipeline operator error.
Under terms of the agreement, Magellan also agreed to resolve allegations related to Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure regulations for violations found at two facilities in Iowa and Nebraska. The Clean Water Act authorizes EPA to establish SPCC regulations for preventing, preparing for and responding to oil spills or hazardous substances that may reach surface waters.
Along with the civil penalty, Magellan will set up a program to minimize third-party damage to the pipeline system, a cause of some of the spills, and will spend $750,000 on removing or minimizing any external threats along selected segments of its pipeline, according to the EPA. The company will also implement system-wide changes to improve employee training, leak response procedures, and protocols for detecting and responding to leaks and ruptures.
Magellan is the owner and operator of the 6,700-mile petroleum pipeline network and 39 terminal facilities in the states of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma. The pipeline transports petroleum products including gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel from refineries through interconnections with other interstate pipelines to retail gasoline stations, truck stops, railroads, airports and other end users.


Price : about IDR 110k (around USD11).
Well, the packaging is simple and still look quite elegant with dominant black-white dove color, just the same with it's eyeliner, eyeshadow, etc.
Here's what inside, lipstick in a black dove packaging. Looks pretty elegant in my eyes.
The color is like coral red. Pretty but not that bold.
Well, the cam doesn't really do justice, the actual color i more red than this, but yeah it's almost like coral only darker (pretty much like the swatch on my hand). Oh, it doesn't really end up matte and dry like i expected, i guess it's more like semi-matte. Eh, but i correct it a bit, it does turn out matte after 10-15mins after (or maybe i put it too much that's why it takes time). It doesn't really dry up like liquid matte, but it does matte. In this picture the lips is looking so glossy because the cam flash. I'll update another picture soon! Anyway i tried to update the picture but because i'm using flash (my room's lighting is very bad), the picture ended up the same. The thing is, the liptsick is actually matte but doesn't really look as dry as liquid matte one.
Well, for a matte lipstick, i should say this one is good, doesn't dry up the lips. In fact it moisturise the lip at first because the lipstick texture is so soft and creamy. Easy to apply as the lipstick glides perfectly well on my lips. The one thing that bugged me is they claimed it to be matte, but i took quite a long time before it actually turn out matte. But actually it doesn't really matter because i overall like this lippy. Oh, the staying power is quite good, about 3-5hours or so i guess (without eating and too much drinking). It's easily gone if you're eating too much or too much pucker your lips up (like i always did, bad habit). Well, even though it's moisturise at first, when it turn matte it'll dry lips a little, but not too much compare to most lipstick matte i've tried.
In conclusion i like it other than i actually hope it'll ended up in totally matte finish fastly though, because i like to pucker up my lips so much that semi matte tends to wash out easily, but it's okay hahaha. Oh most of it, i like how the color turns out after few hours, really nice in me. Now i wish i can try another darker color hahahhaa, like dark red or dark pink!

The Sensual Sculpture of Donal Hord
by Summer Furzer | May 16, 2013 | | 0 comments
Gifts from the Dyson-Roberson Estate
May 25, 2013 – September 04, 2013
San Diego History Center (SDHC) is the recipient of eight sculptures created by celebrated artist, Donal Hord (1902-1966). The artwork is a donation from the estate of local art collectors, Richard Dyson—who passed away in January 2013—and his partner, Robert Roberson of La Mesa (1999). The two were early advocates of Donal Hord's work and the collection represents some of the sculptor's most acclaimed privately-held works which the History Center will display.
Donal Hord was considered one of the most preeminent American sculptors by many in the national and local art community during the early to mid-20th century. At the time Hord was the only local artist to become a full Academician of the National Academy of Design and a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society.
Hord preferred Direct Carving, a process which involves only the carver, the tools, and the medium and shuns the use of working from a drawing. The carver takes inspiration from the medium's lines and angles, allowing the material to dictate the form and represents a return to the direct approach used in primitive art. Hord worked mainly with hard materials like jade, onyx, and granite in stone and rosewood, mahogany, and lignum vitae in woods.
Hord's public art can be seen today at Balboa Park's House of Hospitality, in front of the entrance to the Prado restaurant, at the County Administration Building, the current San Diego County Library, San Diego State University, and in Seaport Village.

From E3 to ScareLA to CES, to a variety of theme park-related events, we have certainly had our fair share of traveling adventures for GamingShogun.com. But, when the opportunity to attend the recent media day at the Mountain High resort presented itself, I couldn't pass it up. I had never been skiing before and, up until the media day, I was under the impression that I would careen down the slopes wearing only one ski to show up Ski Patrol bully "Blaine" and win the heart of the beautiful "Beth" only to realize that I truly belonged with "Monique" all along. Yes, I am referring to the venerable John Cusack classic, Better Off Dead.
With these 80's film-inspired ski fantasies living in my brain, I knew that I had a lot to learn about real world skiing. So we packed up the GamingShogun family truckster and headed off for the resort in the early morning hours. That was a good thing too, as it didn't take long for the entrance road to the Mountain High resort to get backed up with cars trying to get to its three parking lots. The best advice I can give anyone wanting to have fun at Mountain High is to get there as early as humanly possible. This is one popular resort and skiers and snowboarders arrive in droves – the earlier you arrive, the better. You will get a better parking spot as well as place in line for any equipment rentals you need to do. As we waited in line for our equipment rentals, the nerves started in as this was actually going to happen. We were going to be sliding across a field of snow on a couple of "flimsy" sticks!
Mountain High is also home to three "lodges" were you can rest, chat with other resort guests, browse the pro shop, and grab a quick snack. However, Mountain High also has a great grill up the hill a bit on the West Resort called the Bullwheel Grill. I highly recommend taking some time out of your visit to dine here and enjoy the sights of the mountain – plus, the food is very good! Aside from that, Mountain High is also home to "North Pole Tubing"! This attraction is, as you would expect, a tubing ride down their special tracks located in the North Resort. We were unable to get to this attraction on the media day as it had already sold out by time we arrived. Again, if you want to do this stuff be sure to arrive early! From the looks of it, however, North Pole Tubing is a lot of fun.
So, we got our ski boots and skis and duck walked up to the West Resort's "moving carpet", which is a slow conveyor belt to take you up to the bunny slopes/training area. Our instructor lined us all up and provided us with the necessary pre-lesson safety briefing and we began. The lesson started with the basics of how to fasten your boots and, after about an hour of training, we were slowly making our way down the bunny slope practicing our "pizza" and "french fry" ski configurations.
Unfortunately, I am not the most agile or coordinated of individuals and it took me quite a bit of time to get the hang of this. By the end of a two our session, I had gotten fairly good at going down the bunny slope at slow speed, still doing my pizza and french fries. I was feeling a lot more confident about it after that and think that, with some more practice time, I could be ready for hitting actual slopes in the future. Above all else, it was a lot of fun to do!
Additionally, it was a killer workout! I wore some heavy snow gear thinking that with the low temperatures, I would be a human Popsicle. With all the movement and maneuvering of the skis, I was warm and toasty – a little too much, actually. I would highly suggest wearing layers of light garments so that you can remove them if/when you start heating up.
An 8 hour lift ticket will put you back $69 dollars on most Saturdays, which works out to around $8.60 per hour of enjoyment – not too shabby! You can also purchase a 4 hour lift ticket for a little cheaper, but the 8 hour is definitely the best value. Mountain High has also introduced an online Express Pass purchasing method which allows customers to purchase and print out their passes. This will help customers avoid waiting in lines at the ticket window!
You can also rent the "Complete Ski Package" equipment set, consisting of skis, poles, and boots for only $30 dollars! Helmets are a separate rental, but can be donned for the low price of $5 dollars.
Mountain High was a lot of fun and something I would highly recommend everyone who lives in Southern California do, if physically able. It is right in our own backyard, located just off the 138 in Wrightwood, CA. While I never encountered Blaine or zoomed down the mountain on just one ski, the whole event was a blast and I can officially claim to have caught the ski-bug. I simply can't wait to go back up and try it again. The snowfall this season has been really good thus far, and they estimate the end of season date to be sometime in March, so you have plenty of time to get on out there.

My house roommate, Chuck Grogan '67, was Godfather to my first born son in 1971. Years later I was Godfather to his daughter. But, the best part is that we've stayed in touch by mail when we were in the Navy after graduation, and now we stay connected by phone on at least a monthly basis for the last 40 years. We share memories of our time at the house, and today in retirement, these memories make us laugh so hard until we cry.
The best part about Happy Valley is that it seemed we were always happy. Not even a raining day was bad. We could walk from one end of the campus to the other end and not get wet. The Elm trees provided complete cover.
An experience that all should have, but few do, is that Chuck Grogan and I climbed Nittany Mountain, and walked along the ridge to view the entire country side from the top. The next day we could hardly walk due to the vertical climb up the mountain side."
