RUFC - Evans 'Three Big Points Today'
Rotherham United Manager Steve Evans didn't think the Millers played anything like what they can play like this afternoon as they beat Plymouth Argyle three-nil at the New York Stadium to send them up to sixth place in League Two.
'It was a big three points for us today,' the Millers Boss told Radio Sheffield. 'We didn't play well but we were camped in their half for ninety minutes and the goal came from a great finish from a young man who works extremely hard.
'I thought Jake Cole made three wonder saves in the first half and I'd like to have a look at Kari Arnason's goal that wasn't given. The referee says it was a foul by Nardiello on the goalkeeper but I'm not quite sure he's got that right but we didn't get a lot today.'
Kieran Agard might have got the goal for the Millers, which I think we were all thankful for, but it was a great piece of work from Daniel Nardiello in the first place that got the ball to Agard.
'I told Nards that I thought he was a different player in the second half,' Evans said. 'He was moving the way we know he can move and his creativity was a feature for us today. We took him off because he was absolutely on his knees for the last few minutes.
'I think there is momentum at the club now both on and off the pitch and I won't kid ourselves and say we've been emphatic winners today but we've been solid winners. I think they've only had one chance mid-way through the first half with a header so you've got to say it's a commanding performance.'

It's widely reported Catania striker Gonzalo Bergessio will join Sampdoria this week for €3m plus add-ons.
Sky Sport Italia, Tuttomercatoweb and Sportitalia all back the story negotiations are down to the details.
President Massimo Ferrero did not attend the Serie A fixtures ceremony in Milan this evening, reportedly because he was in a meeting with Catania representatives.
Argentine hitman Bergessio is due to join over the next few days for €3m plus performance-related bonuses.
He just turned 30 last week and has been in Sicily since January 2011.
Bergessio scored 10 goals in 30 Serie A appearances last season and had also been linked with Fiorentina.

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn:
I've been dating a really fantastic guy for a few weeks, and I'm very excited! The but? He gives me little kisses on my forehead and cheek and head constantly. Those sweet gestures would be appreciated once or twice a day, but I am literally being mauled, like, every three or four minutes.
We're not teenagers — we're both pushing 30! I've tried to gently explain that I'm not into that much PDA, but I don't think he understands that I cringe when I see him going for my forehead. How do I explain to this really amazingly sweet guy that he needs to cut it out?
Feeling Mauled by Sweet Gestures
You just do. "I like you a lot, but I am not comfortable with the constant little kisses."
I doubt this will fix it, though. For one, "cringe" and "really fantastic" give me cognitive dissonance. You sure you're "very excited"?
And I think the way each of us shows affection is like our fingerprint and hardly something we can change significantly based on a partner's taste. But even that may be beside the point: Each of us deserves to be with someone who appreciates our way of showing love.
But, that's me. Your and his mileage may vary.
I'm also uncomfortable with his being this kissy after "a few weeks" and this undeterred by your "not into that much PDA" remark. Yikes. Some couples catch fire quickly, but you apparently haven't — he's all in, and you're all, ew. Maybe he's just more into you, but maybe he's pushing intimacy too soon, and that's an abuser's trademark.
So, speak up without fear that doing so is "mean." Asserting yourself is how you find out whether you're right for each other, and better now than "gently explain[ing]" yourself into a trap.
Re: Mauled:
I throw "fails to immediately respect boundaries I establish regarding my body" in the Basket of Unequivocal Dealbreakers. And while I agree it's worth telling him very directly, once, that this is a problem, I think Mauled might want to take a step back and think about whether she's happy to be with someone who can't pick up on the fact that she cringes when he kisses her forehead.
Maybe I'm clutching my pearls here, but I think someone who fails to recognize that one will probably be kind of oblivious to her needs, wants or feelings in other areas, too.
Yes, I agree. "Fails to respect body boundaries" is an immediate dealbreaker.
So much backpedaling and rationalizing in the letter told me it was possible Mauled wasn't clear with the guy.
That, by the way, is a whole other thing: If you feel you can't say something, that immediately is a bigger problem than whatever it is you want to speak up about.
Comfort with basic assertiveness is a threshold worth forcing yourself to meet before getting involved with someone else. It can inoculate you against so many other problems.
And, no small thing, it gives you a baseline by which you measure your comfort with someone. If you're normally assertive in certain situations but with so-and-so you're not, it's time to recognize that as dangerous to your well-being and seriously reconsider getting or remaining involved with so-and-so.

Jesse Kornbluth, of HeadButler.com, this week trying to graduate from the spiritual kindergarten, where he is still trying to grasp that he is not his body.
I don't lose books.
I lost this one.
A few years ago, I bought "Chants of a Lifetime" in Los Angeles, got on the plane, read a few chapters, put it aside and walked off the plane without it.
I realized right away I didn't have it.
But I didn't go back for it.
You read books when you're ready for them. Clearly I wasn't ready for the memoir of a desperately unhappy kid who falls in love with Neem Karoli Baba, finds ultimate happiness through his guru, loses it and regains it by chanting the names of God in a language he doesn't understand.
What changed for me?
First is an echo of a decades-ago conversation I had with the great short story writer Andre Dubus. I asked him why he went to Mass every day. He said: "Because if Ronald Reagan defines ultimate reality, I'd have to shoot myself!" That's pretty much how I have come to feel about most of what now passes for news: If this is reality, I need to find something else.
Better believe I have looked hard. And found lots of wisdom. But nothing grabbed me, shook me, calmed me until I encountered the music of Krishna Das. For the last few years, my wife and I have been going to his evenings at a church on the West Side. [The videos on my piece about Heart as Wide as the World were made there.] I am so not a chanter, so not a joiner, so not a seeker after a guru. But I have cherished these evenings. Last year, we brought the child, who complained briefly, then drifted into a beatific snooze.
And now I find I'm noticing a convergence of my head with others. A friend and I were talking about the music in heavy rotation in our lives. I said I was mostly listening to Krishna Das. Not just "Heart as Wide as the World," but now, even more, "Greatest Hits of the Kali Yuga." To buy the CD from Amazon, click here. For the MP3 download. click here.]
"I don't know why," I said, "but I feel Krishna Das helps me deal with a lot of the shit that's in my way."
"You and a lot of people," she said, to my great surprise.
So it seemed like maybe this was the time for me to read "Chants of a Lifetime: Searching for a Heart of Gold." [To buy the paperback from Amazon, click here.]
It starts with Krishna Das — the former Jeffrey Kagel, from and of Long Island — about to return to America. He never thought this would happen; he'd hoped to stay with his guru forever. Now he was being sent back.
I blurted out in anguish, 'Maharaj-ji! How can I serve you in America?' He looked at me with mock disgust and said, 'What is this? If you ask how you should serve, then it is no longer service. Do what you want.' I couldn't believe my ears. How could doing what I wanted to do be of service to him? I didn't have that kind of faith. I just sat there, stunned. Then after a minute or so he looked over at me, smiling sweetly, and asked, 'So, how will you serve me?' 'My mind was blank. It was time for me to leave for Delhi, to catch the plane back to the States. He was looking at me and laughing. I bent down and touched his feet for the last time and when I looked up he, he was beaming at me, 'So, how will you serve me in America?' I felt like I was moving in a dream. I floated across the courtyard and bowed to him one more time from a distance. As I did, the words came to me, 'I will sing to you in America.'
This memoir is about getting to that moment, blowing it (a crack addiction), recovering, building a following for Hindu chanting, blowing it again (in 2002, Krishna Das pled guilty to a federal charge of money laundering and was sentenced to three years probation and six months house arrest), and moving on bigger audiences and greater CD sales. It's the usual story: an angel with a dirty face. Just like you. Just like me. Only here the contrasts are all in High Def.
I'm not much for reading about someone else's God-intoxication. I prefer teaching stories, anecdotes, dish — an adventure story — punctuated by killer one-liners. By this standard, "Chants" is a classic. It starts with Kagel's hilarious encounter with the Army physical. Quickly serves up a picture of Kagel in his bearded, long-haired Jesus moment. And then delivers the guru, the embodiment of divine love.
But this book does not read "holy." Consider this, on his guru:
He didn't teach with words. He'd shine light on me like the sun, and I'd bloom. When the clouds came between us, I saw that they were my own clouds. Then I would sit there, freaking out, 'What the fuck! I can't do anything about this.'
And in the end? "I feel like I'm the same jerk I always was," Krishna Das writes, "but I don't think about myself as much as I used to."
For most of the child's life, my wife has put her to bed with a lecture called "Bore Me to Sleep." Exports, the Bill of Rights, what to visit in a dozen countries — my wife has developed quite the repertoire.
My wife is away for a few days, so the bedtime boredom ritual has fallen to me. Last night, my first on the job, I told stories. I rubbed the child's back. Nothing worked. In desperation, I reached for this book. After a few minutes, she asked me to stop.
"Too interesting," she said.
Out of the mouths of babes…

It feels so surreal that a year had already passed since I wrote the 'People of my year 2011'. Actually it's still almost a year if I base it on the date the entry was published. Even so, it reminds me how fast time flies and before I knew it, here I am again going down memory lane; reminiscing what had transpired this year.
It had been a busy year for me with so much traveling and more responsibilities at work. The saddest part is having to bid farewell to friends I hold very dear as they embark on a new journey. But the best part is being home twice, seeing friends I have not seen for ages, and my –what they call Youtubic — engagement.
To continue the tradition I started last year (inspired by Bianca Gonzales' blog), now is the time to pay tribute to the people who have made significant difference in my life in 2012.
They are a group of different individuals bound by their love for mountain climbing. They showed me that true friendship can also develop in the workplace where office politics normally thrives. I have always admired their friendship even if I only hear their stories from Omar. I finally met them in June when they surprised me with a well-choreographed proposal. I was embarrassed at the thought that they all did it –spent their time practicing, preparing the props , making sure the event is well-documented, editing the video – but I was more in awe at how far they can go for a friend. It's amazing how they organize activities not just recreational but also to help those in need such as cleaning and arranging the house of a friend who just moved in. I just love them all to bits.
Olesya Kochkina
She is my Russian colleague who joined our organization in July. The silly bit is that she's the only one who had me eat a bowl of vegetable salad which I liked. I hardly eat vegetables but the one she made was really delicious I keep craving for it everytime I want to eat something healthy. What I admire about her is her strong fighting spirit and optimism in overcoming challenges. She taught me not to dwell too much on a certain situation but rather look at the bigger picture and see what really matters in the grand scheme of things.
Clara Capala and Jonah Lyn Soliva
They are among my best college buddies. I have many close friends but the three of us developed this special bond that stayed strong through the years. We had our petty quarrels but at the end of the day our love for each other prevailed. They taught me how to be a true friend; through forgiveness and acceptance of each other's weaknesses. No matter what happens and where life takes us, we will always be a part of each one's life. Early this year I had a heart to heart talk with Jytjyt where I saw the beauty of her heart and the inner strength she possesses in facing life's trials. I was able to see Clara after 3 years when she came to visit me in Bohol. Clara is the one who taught me how to be a friend not just in words but more in action. One of the best part of my vacation was being with her. And these cute little pugs represent the happy trio who endured the test of friendship 🙂
Charivic Abello
She is my younger sister. I remember she once told me she got too much pressure from being compared to us, her elder siblings in terms of academic achievements. She got it from either family members telling her to do well in school like us or my former professors telling her "ask your sister how she did it". I worried that she would carry this pressure with her and negatively affect her studies and morale. She wanted to become a policewoman but we did not allow her. Instead, we asked her to take Agribusiness. She did not want to let go of her passion so she took the ROTC training to become an officer and went up to convincing us to let her join the firing camp where she was able to use an M16 rifle and hit the target. Now she ranked third in command of the Corp group. This little sissy taught me not to lose sight of my passion and to never let other people's expectations hinder me from doing what I really love to do. Proud of you always CLTC Charivic H. Abello 1CL.
Chamika Angeles
She is the daughter of a very dear friend Ate Weng. Mika had been bedridden even before I knew them. She left us this month to be with our Creator in heaven. Her death is our biggest lose this year. We've lost the angel who had been a great part of our journey because despite being ill most of her life, we can still feel that she's there praying for us. May you rest in peace in heaven little angel. We love you very much.
My former boss
I have worked with him for 2 years and in those years he has molded me to become a strong woman. He may not be that famous among his staff as evinced by the high turnover rate but I did not give up on him. Many staff didn't like him because he was tough but I tried to show him compassion because I didn't know what he has gone through in life and what painful experiences he has to endure in his past. I do not have the right to judge him of what he has become. I cannot do anything about his past but I believe that simple acts of kindness would remind him of the goodness in his heart. Through him, I was able to test myself on how far I can show love to the most unlovable person. Through him I learned how not to dwell on the bad side of a person but rather see the wounded heart inside. Through him I learned not to give up on love and believe that love and compassion can change even the stone hearted.
Avash K.C.
As early as the start of the year, I already knew Avash will make it to this list. But little did I know he will take up this place; the one who has made the most impact in me this year. It is rather strange because our only verbal conversation was when he asked me for a copy of the audio file I was recording. He added me on Facebook so we got to talk once in a while. This year had been challenging for me because work was very hectic and there were many changes in both my work and personal life I had to cope up with. But his mails to me, although seldom but long, sustained me with inspiration to get going. While many youth parrot about how they want to make a difference, Avash was out there making the real difference that others can only utter in the wind. He is a very smart and talented young man and has all the chances to go abroad. But he chose to stay and serve his country, worked with the youth sector and reached out to the poor children and marginalized groups. While other youth brag about the little things they did, Avash remained silent and humble in his accomplishments. Instead of lurking online or resorting to vices, he spends his time and energy in far-flung communities –talking to deviant youth who had been rebels but are in the process of starting a new life, celebrating his birthday with poor children – or in school doing his MBA or producing TV shows that discuss various societal issues particularly those affecting the youth. He showed me that making a difference just takes a spark that will be illuminated by our actions. But above all, he taught me that genuine service must come from the heart.

The food was better than it is now. But with all the cut backs there is no service or lot's of smile anymore. If you read all the reviews of all the ships and lines. I think Seabourn, Regent is about the only
6 star cruiseline that will give you 6 star service but you will pay a 6 star price. But is nice that all your drinks are included. And about the embakking dock in Vancover. No matter which ship is in port it is always a nightmere. Ed
I only have one correction in what you have just posted: contracts can run 6 to 9 months and usually they are given 2 months off. Other than that, I do agree pretty much with what you are saying. I do question some of what the poster experienced: I have read a couple reviews (on another site) about the cruise from L.A. to Vancouver which is the same crew and was the seek before the OP cruised. They gave a totally different account of the crew. We cruised the Pearl last year: with the exception of one night in the dining room we found the crew went above and beyond for us and our cruise a few months ago on the Spirit was probably (service wise) the best we have had in the past 20 years. Well, HAL gives great service as well.
As for food, we were not overly impressed with the food on the Pearl either, but we thought the food on the Spirit had improved twice over. Yet, with all the cut backs and the price we pay for a weeks vacaation we can't expect top of the line anything. Crowded buffets are part of buffets period if one chooses to go during the busy hours. We have learned you et breakfast as soon as the buffet opens or wait til after 9am, lunch the same, early, or put up with the crowds. This holds true for all mass marketed lines.

2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid
City: 35 mpg
Highway: 33 mpg
Combined: 34 mpg
Base Price: $26,140
The Altima hybrid is sold only in California and the seven eastern states that share the California Air Resources Board's air-quality statutes, which is a shame because it delivers hybrid efficiency in a stylish, pleasurable-to-drive sedan. The Altima hybrid delivers similar fuel economy numbers to those of the Camry hybrid, which isn't surprising considering Nissan licensed Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive for the effort. Paired with Nissan's 2.5-liter gasoline engine, the Altima hybrid returns performance numbers better than the standard model's. It delivers on its sporty looks and design-forward interior with a fun, enthusiastic chassis and precise steering. If the name "Camry" makes your inner rebel cringe, you'd do well to consider the Altima hybrid.

The HPV vaccine debate for preteens: Get one or pass?
Helen Deitch, M.D., OB/GYN | 07.24.13
Approximately 14 million new people become infected with HPV every year.
The preteen years are the time for learning, exploring and finding out who you are. They are typically not the years for thinking about cancer prevention. But, they should be.
Medical professionals recommend that all preteens and young girls be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is responsible for the majority of cases of cervical cancer. However, there is increasing reluctance among parents to have their young daughters vaccinated, explains Helen Deitch, M.D., OB/GYN at WellSpan's Adolescent Gynecology Program.
"We hear parents express fears about potential serious side effects as the main reason for not getting the HPV vaccine. In my years of practicing medicine I have only seen mild side effects in my patients," she says.
How serious is HPV? Who gets it?
HPV affects approximately 79 million Americans each year—approximately 14 million new people become infected every year.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HPV is so common that nearly all sexually active men and women will get it at some point in their lives.
Approximately 90 percent of HPV infections will go away on their own within two years; however, HPV infections can lead to serious health problems. In fact, HPV is responsible for just about every case of cervical cancer and has been linked to several other types of cancers, including genital, anal and oral cancers, as well as genital and anal warts.
Most people are unaware they are infected because they show no symptoms; however, they are still able to pass it along to others through sexual contact. There is currently no treatment available for HPV.
Why should your daughter receive the HPV vaccine?
Help protect your daughter from getting these diseases in the future by having her vaccinated today.
While young girls do not typically get the diseases caused by HPV, you can help protect your daughter from getting these diseases in the future by having her vaccinated today. Two HPV vaccines have been approved and are recommended for preteens and young women who were not previously vaccinated.
"HPV is a very common viral infection, and now parents have this amazing opportunity to protect their children against the most common HPV strains found in cancers and genital warts," explains Deitch. "This is a huge advancement in cancer prevention that I highly encourage parents to consider."
The vaccine is administered as a series of three shots over six months and can be given to girls as young as nine. Physicians recommend that girls get the vaccine at a young age to allow ample time for it to fully take effect. She says:
"The HPV vaccine is the most effective when it is given before the onset of sexual activity, which is why following the recommendation to vaccinate at age 11 is so important."
What are the side effects?
Some people choose not to vaccinate out of concern for potential side effects. However, Deitch explains that vaccine side effects are typically mild and might include pain, redness and itching near the site of the injection and mild or moderate fever. The symptoms typically don't last very long and will go away on their own.
I encourage parents to talk with their child's health care provider to find out if this vaccine may be right for them," Deitch says.
Dr. Deitch, WellSpan's network of primary care physicians and pediatricians can administer the HPV vaccine. For more information, contact your child's health care provider or call Dr. Deitch at (717) 851-1990.

A tornado is about to move into a populated area near Oklahoma City after a rash of tornadoes have already proven deadly in the Heartland and Midwest.
According to Foxnews.com, "At least two people were killed and 29 were injured in Oklahoma as a severe storm system generated several tornadoes Sunday in Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa, leveling neighborhoods and sending frightened residents scurrying for shelter as extreme conditions are expected to linger across the Midwest.
"The tornadoes, high winds and hail were part of a massive, northeastward-moving storm system that stretched from Texas to Minnesota. Victims and emergency responders might not get much of a reprieve, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Storm Prediction Center was forecasting similar weather for Monday over much of the same area.
"The National Weather Service was warning of the possibility of tornadoes and baseball-sized hail Monday, while residents of Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri were also warned to watch for bad weather Monday."
My prayers go out to all of those who are inevitably going to be heavily affected by this latest storm, and the ones that have already caused devastation.

I think that every African American, and even those who are not, should have at least ten real good African American movies or African American related movies. Certainly back in the 1970s it was called blaxexploitation films, however even some of those were pretty good and exciting.

Difference between revisions of "Dead Sea (Jordan)"
Revision as of 04:00, 3 May 2013
The Dead Sea (Hebrew: ים המלח, Hebrew transliteration:Yam HaMelach; Arabic: البحر الميت, Arabic transliteration: al-Bahir al-Mayyit) has its eastern coast in Jordan. It is the lowest point in the world at 394.6 m (1269 ft) below sea level.
Get in
On the Jordanian side, the Dead Sea is possible as a day trip from both Amman and Aqaba. The road is a good dual carriage way. Tourist areas are accessible from the main road that runs along the eastern side of the body of water and connects to Jordan's Desert Highway running to Amman. Highways leading to the Dead Sea are clearly marked by brown tourist signs. It is an ambitious 3-hour drive from Aqaba in southern Jordan.
Taxi services for travel to the Dead Sea can be purchased for the day 20JD if you hail a cab from down town, down town hotels charge 35JD for the same service. Many of the local hotels and resorts have shuttles that travel from Amman to the Dead Sea for a fee. There are a handful of bus lines that also run from Amman on a daily basis. Bus from Mujaharin bus station to Rame costs 1 JD. Taxi from Rame to Amman Beach 4JD or less. Especially on good weather Fridays and Sundays, busses leave from Muhajarin bus station directly for Amman Beach, but if not they will at least drop you of along the road only a couple of kilometers before reaching the Sea. If you are used to hitchhiking it is then very easy to get a lift onwards.
From Aqaba a taxi can be hired for a full day. If booked through the reception of a nice hotel expect to pay about 100 JD. If you find a driver on your own you an haggle and get the price down quite a bit (80 JD in January 2010 - possibly better deals can be agreed on). Make sure to arrange with the driver before you leave if you also want to stop by any other sites as part of your trip as the diver may not want to drive any farther than initially agreed.
The cost to enter the public tourist beach (Amman Beach) is 16 JD (April 2012) (with swimming pools) and 11JD for the Locals/Jordian beach (it's only 15m to left of the tourist entrance; not recommended for women on Fridays). Many hotels also sell day passes that include full use of hotel facilities as well as their Dead Sea beachfronts; at the Mövenpick Resort, day passes cost 20 JD per person for hotel guests, while non-hotel guests pay 40 JD on weekdays and 50 JD on weekend.
Around 10km south of Amman Beach is a local's favourite place that is easily recognized by a couple of stands selling snacks and water near the road. The place is dirty and nobody takes care of it, but if you're on a shoestring, the Dead Sea there is just as good as everywhere. There is a small water fall coming from a hot spring that can serve as a shower afterwards to wash off the salt from your skin. Getting a lift from there back to Amman is easy and occasionally even buses pass by on which you can jump on for a small fee.
The water in the Dead Sea is extremely salty, and has been estimated to be the second saltiest major body of water in the world. Its name is derived from the fact that the water is far too salinated for marine inhabitation.
The Dead Sea is naturally endorheic (no outlet streams) with the Jordan River being its only major source. The northern part of the Dead Sea receives scarcely 100 mm (4 inches) of rain a year; the southern section receives barely 50 mm (2 inches). Due to the man-made reduction of the Jordan River (the river waters are 70-90 % used for human purposes) and the high evaporation rate of the Dead Sea, the sea is shrinking. All the shallow waters of the southern end of the sea have been drained and are now salt flats.
Although the Dead Sea would never entirely disappear (because evaporation slows down as surface area decreases and saltiness increases), measures are currently being proposed to siphon water from the Red Sea through a series of tunnels or canals in order to replenish the rapidly shrinking waters and provide water and electrical solutions to the surrounding countries.
The climate at the Dead Sea varies depending on the season. Temperatures during the tourist season can become extremely warm, ranging from 30°C (86°F) in the spring to upwards of 40°C (104°F) in the summer. The area receives an average of 330 days of sunshine per year, with rainy days occurring only during winter (if at all).
The hypersalinated water of the Dead Sea itself is its own attraction. There are several nearby attractions that are worth attention:
On the Jordanian side, both Arabic and English are spoken.
there is trips runs from egypt and specially from sharm el sheikh for example rates Short of actual drowning, inhalation of the water can cause specific, sometimes lifethreatening medical problems not seen with other bodies of water, because of the water's very high electrolyte content so be sure of your swimming abilities and confidence in the water before deciding to swim on your front.
Visitors can purchase packets of the famous mud, as well as other cultural artifacts and handicrafts, from local gift shops.
Eat & Drink
The restaurant options near the Dead Sea are sparse.
The Jordanian public beach contains an over-priced buffet-style restaurant and a small beach-side snack bar. It is recommended that visitors planning to visit the public beaches bring their own food and drinks. There are many resorts that can be found in Jordan to cater to tourists.

Author has written 11 stories for That '70s Show.
WARNING: I write SMUT. That's what I love...that's what I do. My stories in T are usually sex free but with language (my Hyde has a dirty mouth) but the M stories contain sex.
I recently graduated with a degree in English, and spend most of my time reading, writing, doing freelance editing, and working in my favorite bookstore on the planet. So… I decided I would finish and post some of my favorite fanfics (they're all That 70's Show, at least right now...I'm also in love with Wolverine, though...). I'm pretty obsessed with J/H (I mean...not only are they totally hot, I can't get it out of my head that they're like Red and Kitty!), but I've written a few H/D that take place in early season one. I watched NONE of season 8 (save for the little previews on Fox that I couldn't avoid), and I try to avoid thinking too much about the show after season 5-6 when the writers started pissing me off. I don't have to really mention that I don't own the characters I write about, right? Good.
Reviews are, like, the BEST thing ever! Since I got this account and posted my first fic, I've started reviewing everything I read... Karma man! PLEASE let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas, I'm open. =) I'd just like to point out, on the review front, that constructive criticism is never a bad thing (please note the use of the word CONSTRUCTIVE in that phrase, though. For example, a phrase such as "you suck" or "you screwed up" is never appropriate in a review... If you feel that way, read elsewhere). When you're making suggestions of that nature on another person's work, please always keep in mind that writers post on this website for fun, not to be graded or picked at, and saying something nice in conjunction with a critique is important and ego saving. Comments on improvements are great, but if you ever find a glaring error I make, it is vastly appreciated if you note said error in a PM rather than in a review. (After all, once I change it, it won't be there anymore...but the review will stay forever.)

If you wanna know more about people around the world and wanna have some conversation with them, you have to know the 3 most popular chat that are online in Internet.
Of course those chat are for people that love use web cams, because only chat text for them are very boring! Remember then to turn on your web cam when you using those chat online or people will pass you!
The most innovative types of chats that you can find in this last 2/3 years on the web are the chatroulette's social chat, where you can see random strangers on web cams.
Now if you wanna try one of those, what are The 3 TOP chat you can find on Internet?
Here i can show you the last trend in the 2013:
- First and most popular chat for talk to stranger look at the moment is OMEGLE.COM; here you can see the graphic that show how many people using it:
As you can see at this Graphic, Omegle have increased visitors a lot getting like 20.000.000 visit in a month during June 2013;
- The second most popular chat at moment is CHATROULETTE.COM, that from the best chat online for talk to stranger is become the second in the 2013; look the stats that confirm this:
Chatroulette.com from 20.000.000 visitors dropped at about 11.100.000 visitors on June 2013; at moment Omegle do like 9.000.000 more visitors in a month than Chatroulette.com.
- The third most popular chat on the web, but that is far far from the first two places, is CHATRANDOM.COM that look stable and get about 1.000.000/1.500.000 visitors each month; here the graphic:
All those chat, i showed you, are good for talk with strangers because they show you just random people from alla the world during the chat time: you will never know who will be the next person you will see in your monitor.
I think that Omegle and Chatroulette are the most complete social chat in the web; chatrandom is good but you will find less people that respect the chat rules, that mean inappropriate language or naked body.
Also if you wanna try our chatroulette clones you will find some chat in our blog for speak to German, USA, French, UK and Russia People: just look the link at top of our blog!

DENVER — It was just three seasons ago, and Jason Zucker remembers it well.
He was playing for the University of Denver, a 15-minute drive from the Pepsi Center in downtown Denver, where the Colorado Avalanche play.
He didn't go to many games while playing for the Pioneers. But any time the Wild were in town, he made sure he had tickets and often brought a roommate or a few teammates.
He returned to the Pepsi Center for the first time as a professional April 27 when the Wild won a do-or-die game at the end of last season to advance to the playoffs.
But Saturday was the first time as a professional he got to enjoy Denver and see more of the Pepsi Center. It was still a quick trip, the second of a back-to-back, so he said he didn't get to see any ex-teammates or the city's current college hockey team.
"Hopefully we can make it down again," Zucker said.
Seven months ago, almost to the day, Zucker was called up to help the Wild win in Denver and advance to the playoffs for the first time in five years.
But that's a thing of the past now, he said.
"I think we've pretty much forgotten about last season at this point," Zucker said. "They're a different team, a very good team. It's a little different circumstance, but it's a fun place to play."

For Children
A delightful, witty investigation into the mysterious world of an ailment that touches every life on the planet on average four times per year. And the multi-billion dollar industry that repeatedly (and wrongly) claims to "cure" it. A gifted science reporter, Ackerman takes us deep into the places where the viruses begin their nefarious onslaught (the nose) and delights in relating the studies that debunk the curative effects of chicken soup, zinc, and various soaps and elixirs. But she also tells us what works. And how to avoid a cold (hint: children are germ factories).

The latest issue of the Sunday Times Magazine, published this weekend, was home to an intriguing cover story. The photo of half of the late Princess Diana's was face stitched together with half of mega star Rihanna's face. The title read "The Princess and The Showgirl", and featured 2,000 words depicting the apparent similarities between the two, detailing "love triangles, public adoration and a doomed affair with the camera."
I was amazed at the comparison at first, but after reading the article, I can see a few striking similarities. Having both been involved in a very public, love triangle, the two lovely ladies gained the attention of fans around the world. Princess Di waffled in and out of love with Prince Charles while he battled with his affections for another woman, Camilla Parker Bowles. Camilla later became the Prince's second wife, but Princess Diana had a world of fans on her side. Lady Rih, on the other hand, has been involved in a more recent sequence of on-again off-again love with Chris Brown. The two initially split after Brown allegedly abused the pop star and he began dating model Karreche Tran. To date, Rihanna and Chris have apparently been secretly dating the last few months, but Chris has been telling the media that he may or may not be involved with Karreche still…
I was a generation late to truly appreciate the Princess Diana craze, but I am definitely one of the millions of crazed Rihanna fans. Having the most followers on Twitter and Instagram, the Grammy winning superstar has an undoubted love for the camera. The article in The Sunday Times claims that Diana shared the same love of the spotlight. The two utterly fashion forward ladies never cease/ceased to shock and awe, gaining both positive and negative press on the daily.
The article points out some similarities between the admired Fashionistas, but is Rihanna the new Princess Diana? Share your thoughts below!

Carlos Subero, Venezuela, is widely credited with being one of the first journalists in Venezuela to use computer-assisted reporting techniques. He is currently chief of the Editorial Committee of Telecaribe-Notiminuto in Venezuela.
Subero has also been described as his country's main advocate of "precision journalism," which encourages the use of a more scientific methodological approach to reporting. He has reported on his nation's politics since 1983, and has extensively covered the political elite and the parliaments they head.
Subero often goes beyond reporting the day-to-day news to look at the big picture of Venezuela's political system.
He is the author of "La Alegría Triste de Emigrar," a book about Venezuelan immigration to the United States and Canada.

How U Wear It
Matte Velvetines
The original liquid matte lipstick inspired by rose petals
The liquid matte that started it all. Conceptualized and developed by Lime Crime CEO Doe Deere, Velvetines draw inspiration from her favorite flower - a red, red rose. Doe used to cut out rose petals and paste them onto her lips as a child. Richly pigmented, French vanilla-infused formula glides on as a liquid and dries down to a luxurious, velvety matte finish that lasts for hours and hours. Touch-proof, kiss-proof and utterly addictive! Read More
Long lasting matte liquid lipstick in a petal pink hue.
What it does: Makes your lips feel luxurious and velvety, like a rose. Lasts all day with minimal touch-ups, even through meals.
What it won't do: Bleed or transfer. Dry out properly moisturized lips. Ruin the perfect kiss.
TIPS: Apply lip balm 15 minutes prior; pat off excessive oils with a tissue. Apply Velvetines directly to lips (use a lip brush to refine edges). Remove at the end of the day with waterproof makeup remover or oil.

camly p.
too bright for me
Info on myself: I don't wear a lot of make up in general. My general wear is mascara, eyeliner, and sometimes lipstick. I like to stick to neutral colors and colors that make my face look a little natural. I don't necessarily like lipsticks that pop out on my face because I already don't wear a lot the product: the lipstick had a very smooth application, a little more liquidy than I thought. if you compare it to kat von d's lipstick I would say that kat's is a little more moussey-er, and this one was definitely more liquidy. this color is sort of like a dark pink, I found that the color didn't suit me because like I said I'm more of a natural go-er but the color was definitely pretty. the wear: it came on very smooth, I did one application and it was perfectly fine with it's own brush. I tried a lip brush as well and it came on nicely. overall: I would buy this product again but just in a different color!!
Viviane M.

Hollywood's Boulevard of broken relationships
A slew of Hollywood A-listers have called off their relationship this year. Here are a few celebrity couples who went their separate ways...
Hollywood's happily ever afters are mostly confined to the movies.
However, 2015 seems specially jinxed for Hollywood couples. One after another, the relationships of several high profile couples seem to be collapsing like a house of cards.
Also read: Kaley Cuoco officially files for divorce from Ryan Sweeting
The latest to join the list is Kaley Cuoco — television's highest earning actress recently split from her husband of 21 months, Ryan Sweeting, citing "irreconcilable differences".
Here is looking back at celebrity couples who couldn't do justice to "till death do us part."
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner:
This was probably the biggest heartbreaker of the year. When the two stars announced their divorce after 10 years of marriage and three children, the rumour mills went berserk, the latest being that Garner is pregnant with Affleck's fourth child.
Also read: Ben Affleck 'devastated' over split from Jennifer Garner
Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt: Lead star of the now-iconic show Mad Men, Hamm split with his girlfriend of 18 years, actress-screenwriter, Jennifer Westfeldt last month. The two seem to have parted ways amicably with Hamm crediting Westfieldt's support as the reason he beat his alcohol abuse. He also thanked her post his Emmy win very recently.
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green:
This couple had a whirlwind of a romance. The two got tongues wagging when they first got together. Reason? Megan was 18 while Brian was 30. The duo got engaged after two years of dating but split soon after, only to get married in a private ceremony in Maui in 2010. They welcomed two boys to the world. But alas, after 11 years of being together, and five years of marriage, the two have split again.
Also read: Have Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green split?
Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams: Although the two were married for six years, they claim to have been living separate lives for a long time. Moore was was only 24 at the time the two got married and seems to credit her young and reckless decison as the reason for the split.
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert:
Both Blake and Miranda are nothing less of country music royalty. So, the news of them getting together was music to all country music fan. But four years of hilarious interviews, duet performance, several droolworthy red carpet appearances later, the two has finally called it quits.
Also read: Did Miranda Lambert cheat on Blake Shelton?
Sean Penn and Charlize Theron:
The duo, who had known each other for almost two decades, officially started dating in 2013, got engaged in 2014, and broke up a year-and-a-half later. Known for flaunting their PDA, apparently their once sizzling romance fizzled out because they were on 'different wavelengths'
Also read: Charlize Theron will not talk to Sean Penn?
The fast and the furious
Britney Spears and Jason Alexandra
Married: 2 days
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Not if you're Britney Spears. Her Las Vegas hitch and marriage to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexandra is still the stuff of tabloids. Reason? The clearly inebriated and drunk-in-love marriage lasted all of 55 hours.
Carmen Electra and Dennis Rodman
Married: 9 days
NBA star, Dennis Rodman, managed to break his own previous record that lasted an astounding 82 days, with this one. A little after a week of being married, the basketball player filed for divorce citing "fraud and an unsound mind" as the reason.
Lisa Marie Presley and Nicholas Cage
Married: 3 months
The daughter of one of the biggest rock n roll legends, Elvis Presley, had to learn her lesson the hard way. But she wasn't exactly the 'once bitten, twice shy' kind. Lisa was previously married to the King of Pop, Michael Jackson for 9 months. She later married Oscar-winning actor Nicholas Cage only to split 3 months later. According to her version, the reason for the breakup was Cage's stinginess.

The Royals and Brummies to Bloomfield
The Seasiders will be making the trip to St. Andrews', the Madejski and Pride Park next season.
Despite both recording comprehensive wins earlier today, Birmingham and Reading will play Championship football in August. Fulham completed their great escape by beating Portsmouth to survive the drop.
Pool fans will have fond memories of Birmingham's last visit to the seaside. Back in September 2003 a certain Scott Taylor scored the only goal in a League Cup tie against the then Premier League leaders.
The Tangerines' will return to Pride Park in the league next season after winning a League Cup game at Derby on penalties last August. Club captain and recently released Michael Jackson scored the winning spot kick on the night.
Pool's last visit to the Madejski was back in January 2002 when a Nicky Forster hat trick won the day for Reading.
Meanwhile, Bristol City and Hull hold the advantage in their respective play-off matches going into the second legs next week. Hull beat Watford at Vicarage Road 2-0 while Bristol City won 2-1 at Crystal Palace.

Canada needs a postal bank. Thousands of rural towns and villages, and some Indigenous communities, don't have a bank – but many of them have a post office that could provide financial services. As well, nearly two million Canadians desperately need an alternative to payday lenders. A postal bank could be that alternative. Many postal systems around the world operate banks that provide inclusive access to banking, fund economic development and help increase revenue to preserve both our public postal service and jobs. We had a postal bank in Canada up until 1968. It's time to bring it back.
We invite you to explore postal banking through a series of videos, blogs and graphics that explain what it is, why we need it and how it could work for Canadians.

Ray Salinas ('05)
"There really is no substitute for hard work."
Title: Executive Vice President
Hometown: Bossier City
Now resides in: McKinney, TX
Degree: B.A. biomedical engineering (and completed core concentrations in both mechanical and electrical engineering)
Summarize how you and a like-minded friend took on a failing business and, in less than five years, were on the cover of the McKinney (Texas) Magazine as a remarkable success story: I think the combination of intelligence, determination and ignorance served us well. I say this because we were very bright and capable yet too young/inexperienced to fully understand how heavily the odds were stacked against us. Looking back at it now as a much more seasoned businessman, it's very difficult to explain how we managed to overcome all the adversity we faced with no working knowledge of the packaging industry, no working capital and a mountain of pre-existing debt…I guess ignorance truly is bliss because blindly we started down a tumultuous path that would eventually find us featured in several local and national publications as a remarkable success story…We set out to build a business the old fashion way: The American Dream. Hard work, honesty, and integrity are the foundation of Popular Ink Corporation and that's the only way I can explain it. Perhaps a little luck was involved, but in my experience those who work the hardest tend to find luck less elusive.
What's a regular workday like for you? Popular Ink is now a 'round the clock business, six days a week. It's simply the only way we can keep up with the demands of our customer base. Dru (Riess, company president/CEO) manages the day-to-day production schedule and customer/vendor relationships. I oversee the evening/night crew production, inventory/supply chain management and financial stability/profitability of the business…My primary day to day roll is the final voice of approval before any job goes into the live production process. I make sure all quality standards are met to ensure the highest quality and functionality. I make sure our production staff understands individual roles, and how to best set ourselves up for success. I take pride in positioning people where they're strong and can shine…I look beyond the jobs that are currently in the production process to make sure a plan is in place to change from one job to the next efficiently. After all, in manufacturing, time is money…I oversee the plausibility of our company P&L and Balance Sheet at the end of every month to ensure our numbers are as accurate as possible. I also dissect these numbers to look for areas where we can improve and increase profitability…I am also heavily involved in our interview/hiring process. One of the great struggles of any business owner is acquiring talented/motivated employees. Dru and I like to use sports analogies in regard to building a successful business and any championship team needs both all-stars and solid role players. I do my best to find both and put them in a positive working environment.
Why did you choose this career? I worked in the corporate world for an engineering firm, ADInstruments, in Colorado Springs for two years right out of college. I did enjoy my work, but during my time at ADI realized I do not have the mindset of an employee. That line of work required a great deal of travel, so during my travels I read numerous books about being an entrepreneur and owning/operating your own business…I don't come from a family of means so I did not have the option of being selective in terms of what type of business I wanted to start. The opportunity to take over this packaging company was presented to me early in 2007, and I decided to embrace the risk/challenge. Most people don't realize opportunities until they've already passed them by. I was not about to let that happen; I've known for a long time that my dreams were much bigger than the corporate world. I chose this career because it was THE opportunity to begin my career as a true entrepreneur.
What's been most rewarding about this business, and how can you see it serving your community? Seeing the growth firsthand year in and out. There were many years of grinding/struggling just to cover regular operating costs, payroll, etc. I even waited tables for a 19-month stretch in the evenings (2008-2009) as I was struggling to make ends meet with the unreliable income from the company. I lived in a single bedroom very small loft above a friend's garage for two years, focused on the day when my company would provide the kind of life I'd always dreamed of…When we started it was just Dru, me and one other employee. To date we have 20 employees, and from a financial/revenue standpoint, we could not be more stable…Being able to hold company parties/events, reward those who work hard and excel here with substantial bonus checks, contributing to local charities within our community: all these things represent how far we've come since the days of collectors constantly calling our business phones. It truly is a remarkable turnaround that I get to witness firsthand daily, and that is the most rewarding aspect to me.
What brought you to Tech? I guess it was a combination of the state's TOPS program and Tech's reputation as an outstanding engineering university. I was actually accepted to attend both Rice and Duke, but the overwhelming cost of attending these schools was tough to justify when I could attend a solid state school for free (because of TOPS). I was very good at math, so a degree in engineering seemed to make the most sense…I qualified for additional academic scholarships and was able to earn my degree practically for free. Tough to beat that …
Tell us some of your best memories of Tech: I worked as a paper grader, and also as a valet at the Horseshoe casino (in Bossier) my first 3.5 years at Tech. I worked at Radio Shack my last 18 months of school. I bring this up because it is important to point out I worked in addition to being a full-time student my entire time at Tech; therefore, it was difficult for me to partake in all the typical social experiences of many college students…My best memories at Tech were hanging out with my roommates and classmates over the years, forming memories and friendships that will be with me for the rest of my life. From parties, to class projects, all night study sessions, formal presentations, and numerous crazy nights at Rabb's…all of these things form five years of wonderful memories that I wouldn't trade for the world.
Your advice to Tech freshmen today: The two qualities I find extremely valuable yet scarce (for some reason) in employees is efficient time management and the ability to find answers/troubleshoot on their own. I would encourage freshman to focus on these two things and perfect them during their time in school: college provides an excellent platform to become proficient in both…All employers will greatly appreciate/respect individuals with strong time-management skills and who do not need their hands held through every single process. These skills will also bode well for those who choose the path of an entrepreneur. Multitasking to the extreme is a must for any entrepreneur, and no one is there to tell you what to do or how to do it: understanding priorities and direction is something you have to figure out on your own.
"If I've learned one thing, it's …": There really is no substitute for hard work. It doesn't matter how intelligent you are … If you're not willing to work hard chances are you will not go very far in whatever field you chose. If you're willing to work hard/persevere, have a fair amount of intelligence/talent, and a positive attitude the sky truly is the limit.
What are your hobbies? Outside of work, I'm a gym rat. I competed in my first physique competition over the summer, and plan to do at least one more in 2014…I am also an avid snowboarder (due to my time in Colorado). I try to make it back to the slopes at least a couple times per season.
How did Tech prepare you for business and for life after college? My biggest takeaway in terms of preparation for business is all of the work we did in groups as part of the engineering curriculum. I was always a solid student but was never the brightest in any of my engineering classes. However, in every classroom group project I found myself in, I always emerged as the leader of that group. I learned quickly I had the ability to lead intelligent people. In many cases these people were even more intelligent than I was, but they wanted/needed leadership/direction, and I was always able to direct that path from start to finish. I learned I was able to key in on people's strengths and utilize those strengths in the best interest of the group…I discovered and developed this skill during my time at Tech and it has been invaluable to me as I've grown/developed Popular Ink into the multi-million dollar corporation it is today.

Last Saturday night was movie night at my apartment. We watched the 2008 film Bottle Shock," which retells the story of the 1976 Judgment of Paris, essentially California's entrance into the global wine markets. What I thought might become required viewing for anyone in the world of wine turned out to be a copy/paste love-triangle romance tied in with a classic underdog story which references the world of 1976 Napa instead of existing within it. Apart from Alan Rickman playing Steven Spurrier, the acting is lame. At least it's pretty they get their money's worth out of the helicopter they rented with all the swooping through the air above the vineyard shots. From a wine-guy perspective, you'll get more from the 1976 Time Magazine article than from this film.
But then, I'm not a film critic; I'm a wine bloggist.
One of the main themes of Bottle Shock is the sense of old-world disdain for these American bumpkins and their lack of tradition in making wine. It's probably got a lot to do with that unfortunate classist perception wine carries with it and probably a bit to do with trade protectionism and competition as well. It made me think of this blog entry I saw about a month ago. This issue has gone largely unreported in wine periodicals, but was brought up in this recent article on Decanter.com.
In short, it seems that the European Union is heightening regulation on the importation of US wines labeled with such terms as Chateau and Clos and vintage and Sur Lie. It was years ago that they restricted US wines using location-specific labeling such as Chablis and Champagne, which makes sense, but now they're taking the restrictions a bit farther. I mean, vintage and Sur Lie actually refer to traits in wine and wine making. And a "Chateau" is a castle. They're going to refuse to import US wine because of the word "castle"?
Also in recent wine news, the European Union is preparing to relax their restrictions on the production of rosé wine, allowing the mixture of white and reds. The traditional method, of course, involves using red grapes and limiting the juice's contact with the skins, resulting in lighter colored and lighter flavored wines. The story as reported hasn't been about the expansion of new possibilities so much as traditional French producers' indignation at the idea. Maybe it exposes my own naivete, but it makes me cringe whenever those holding on to tradition have to use the law to do it. If tradition is so valuable, then surely the wine market will reflect the superiority of their rosé. …Right?
I don't know if these issues are a huge concern to us in the US or just a cause for petty Internet bickering. I suspect that US imports aren't a significant portion of the European wine market anyway. I mean, if I lived in Italy or France, I'd be sure to drink lots of Italian or French wine. But if that's the case, why impose this regulation at all? In this uneasy period of declining auction prices and undersold futures, it seems like we should all be embracing global wine trade and spreading international good will, not hunkering down toward exclusivity and protectionism.
But then, I'm not an expert on international trade regulations; I'm a wine bloggist.

Can you legally buy a home at fair market value? 2 Answers as of July 20, 2011My mother just died after spending several years in an assisted living facility for patients with Alzheimers. Her only remaining asset is her home, which has a 184k mortgage and estimate market value (Zillow) of 115k. Of her five children, only one is interested in the home as he has been living there and caring for it during her absence. He also had power of attorney and paid all the bills, even at times having to reach into his personal funds to keep Mom safe. I have suggested to him that the lender probably prefers not to take possession of the home and that perhaps he could negotiate "buying" the home from them for fair market value. Is this within the realm of possibility? The house had been refinanced by my step-father (now deceased) at the height of the market some years ago.

He can buy the property at fair market value but he needs to deal with the mortgage. If the bank will accept a reduced amount then this issue can be resolved.

11:10 15.04.2016 (updated 12:15 15.04.2016)
The Russian Armed Forces are reportedly planning to purchase ten S-500 battalions.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Russian Aerospace Forces are expecting the appearance of new models of the S-500 air defense systems soon, Russian Aerospace Forces Vice Commander Lt.-Gen. Viktor Gumenny said Friday.
"We are expecting the first models of the S-500 air defense systems very soon," Gumenny said on Russia's Rossiya-24 television.
Russia's newest S-500 Prometey system, which is expected to begin tests shortly, will be a major upgrade to the state-of-the-art S-400 complex and will, according to member of the advisory council of the Military-Industrial Commission Viktor Murakhovsky, be second to none.
Original post sputniknews.com
S-500 Prometheus 55R6M Triumfator-M air defense missile system
The S-500 "Prometheus" (Russian name 55R6M Triumfator-M) is the latest generation of Russian-made surface-to-air defense missile system, currently under development by the Russian Defense Company Almaz-Antey company. According to Russian sources, the S-500 is an advanced version of S-400 with dedicated components designed to intercept ballistic missiles at a height of up to 200 km. The S-500 is designed for intercepting intercontinental ballistic missiles and for air defense against Airborne Early Warning and Control and jamming aircraft. The first development of the S-500 was started in 2009 with first prototype completed in 2012. In 2011, Almaz-Antey has announced that the first production system of the S-500 will be completed in 2014. In December 2015, the newspaper website Spunik has released that the Russian Armed Forces could receive the first preproduction prototypes of the next-generation S-500 air defense system in 2016. The S-500 is expected to have an extended range of up to 600 km (over 370 miles) and simultaneously engage up to 10 targets. The system will be capable of destroying hypersonic and ballistic targets. The S-500's interceptors will operate at an altitude higher than 185km. The system will have a response time of about three to four seconds, which is considerably shorter than the S-400 which is rated at nine to ten seconds. It also has an extended radar range compared to S-400.
77P6 Self Propelled Transporter Erector Launcher of S-500 Prometheus
Missile launcher unit
The 77P6 Self Propelled Transporter Erector Launcher of S-500 Prometheus appears to be based on the proposed 9A82MK TELAR for the S-300VMK 9M82M Giant missile. According to the first drawing releases on the Almaz-Antey 2015 Calendar, the S-500 TEL is equipped with two Missile Launch Tube / Transport Container mounted at the rear of the truck chassis. In firing position, two hydraulic jacks are lowered to the ground on each side of the truck chassis and the missiles containers are placed at the vertical to the rear side.
77N6-N & 77N6-N1 Missiles at an Integration Rig @indiandefensenews.in
The S-500 Prometheus uses two new types of missile the 77N6-N and 77N6-N1, the first Russian missiles with inert warheads, which can destroy nuclear warheads by force of impact, i.e., by hitting them with precision at great speed. No explosives are needed: Russian engineers' estimates show that a collision at a speed of 7km/s would be sure to destroy just about any flying object.
All battery components of the S-500 Prometheus are carried on hardened BZKT BAZ-6909 family vehicles, in 6 x 6, 8 x 8, 10 x 10 configurations. The BAZ-6909 is a family of all-terrain truck chassis produced and manufactured by the Russian Company Bryansk Motor Vehicle Plant. This family includes 6×6, 8×8, 10×10 heavy high mobility trucks, prime movers, artillery tractors, with a payload capacity of 13-21 t. The mobile launcher unit TEL (Transporter Erector Launcher) is based on the chassis of BAZ-69096 trucks in 10×10 configuration. The BAZ-6909 can run at a maximum speed of 70 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 500 km.
Command and control vehicles
The S-500 Prometheus is expected to use the following radars: the 91N6A(M) acquisition and battle management radar, the revised 96L6-TsP acquisition radar, and the new 76T6 multimode engagement and 77T6 ABM engagement radars. The 96L6-TsP Acquisition Radar is a direct derivative of the 96L6-1 series used an a battery acquisition radar in the S-400. Battle management and ABM acquisition will be performed by the 91N6A(M) Big Bird Acquisition and Battle Management Radar, an evolution of the 64N6E series, typically used to support multiple S-300P/S-400 batteries. Two battery command post types are listed, the 55K6MA which is clearly an evolution of the S-400 55K6E battery command post, and the 85Zh6-2, which may refer to a command post for an extended battery.

Thoughts and such like...
... and moving on at last!
So after almost 2 weeks in Koh Phangan we suddenly found it within ourselves to lose our island fever and move onwards!!! The remainder of our time in phangan was spent at the animal clinic which was an amazing experience and has heightened my belief that I want to continue working in NFP. One of the most bizarre experiences of thet rip was probably last week when Chris dug a grave for a puppy that died during surgery; it was so sad
So... I spent a night in Koh Phangan hospital - fear not I am grand now, but def was a bit touch and go for the night! After getting out I decided it was more sensible to leave SAlad Beach and be closer to the hospital - at the original place we were staying it was a fair old drive. So we moved closer to Thong Sala (the main port) and checked into Sea Scene - a simple but sufficent bungalow resort with stunning views... and millinos of bed g\bugs... it was awful. This probably aided our decision that it was time to move on!!! The bites were painful and the woman that ran the resort could not care less - so much for Thailand the land of smiles. We actually gave her an awful nickname - it rhymes with runt. Now I know thats possibley the worst word in the world but thats why we had to call her it - she was the most awful woman ever. She was so rude to us and acted like she was doing us a massive favour by allowing us the privilege of paying her to stay in her flea ridden resort!!! She shouted at us for not eating in her restaurant (!) and after bringing us umbrellas the night of a storm took them off us ten minutes later when we said we were going down the road to meet friends for dinner!!! She gave us permanent death stares and despite knowing that we were working at the animal clinic (as her mum lives next door to it and her brother was the clinic landlord) she pretended to have no idea what we were talking about whenever we tried to get a taxi! We only needed a taxi cos she refused to rent us bikes beacuse she said we didn't seem suitable... whatever that means. So the combinatuion of leaving Salad Beach, feeling poorly, the fleas and rhymes with runt... we moved on!
We travelled by boat from Phangan to Surat Thani which took approx. 3 hours - it was a pleasant journey - ish... we had bagged two fan side seats and left our bags by them whilst we went upstairs to watch the boat leave the port. After a while we returned to the seating deck to find that despite the entire boat being almost empty a Thai guy had nicked our seats... I was going to approach him but then he turned and his look said 'I am a drug lord who will slice you with my machete if you take a single step closer'. We quickly decided to sit (apart from our bags) in a diff set of seats lol!
After the ferry ride we took a coach into Surat Thani town where we awaited the air conditioned VIP bus we had been sold tickets for... eventually a tiny camper van type mini bus arrived which we crawled into. We were slightly cheesed off at first at having been conned but then realised we were the only 2 passengewrs to the 8 seats and that it had air con and was clean - this could be an ok journey after all! Ha - weren't we the fools for thinking so... after a short ten min trip we were transferred onto another bus of the same size but a million years older and full. We had to squeeze into the front seat (yes one seat between two) and pray we didn't die on the journey ahead. I am convinced that not only was our driver on drugs (as with most drivers here it seems) but also that he had SARS. He coughed in our faces every three seconds and I came close to whacking him several times the dirty git lol!
The drive should have taken three hours but because we had speedy gonzalez the road speed limit brekaer driving us we managed to get there in a mere 1.5 hours (we were doing over 100).
Krabi Town is ok... bit run down and grotty but fine. We stayed there just one night in a brill hotel called the Krabi River Hotel - I thoroughly recommend it if ever in Krabi Town. We had dinner at the night market and two meals plus a beer and a soda water was a nifty one pound sixty!
The next day we headed to immigration to get our visas extended (they had run out) and had to cough up 30 quid for the privilege... humph!
Then we tooka local bus for 75p each to Ao Nang - approx. 45 minutes away. It was a ten seater yet managed to take 5 Thai adults, us 2, 2 Italians, 9 chool children and 4 suitcases!!! It was an interesting drive!!!
We arrived in Ao Nang with nowhere to call home so to speak - so off to an internet cafe we trekked in search of a place to lay our heads. We are now staying at the Paradise resort which is very pretty and most importantly - bug free! The scenery here is entirely different tot eh East Coast - beautiful also but in a hugely f\diff way. There are huge mountains and limestone cliffs... tomorrow we are going to do a boat trip to Maya Bay where 'The Beach' was filmed (I am tragically very excited).
Right now I apologise for the waffling, for the inevitable typos which I am too lazy to go back and redo and also for the abrupt end... I am off to the clinic: there is only a Dr here for an hour an evening and I need to see him. I still have a fever and the shakes so I am being forced to go by Dr Chris heehee! Incidently he just got rate!his acceptance letter to Imperial for his Masters programme so tonight (health permitting) we shall celebrate.
Ooh a few things to add before I forget...
1. Thai people are either very nice or hideously rude: it is def not the land of smiles, whoever came up with that expression is a fibber
2. I have had the most amazing time... this has been a brill experience and I am so grateful to the bank of mum for helping the dream come true
3. I am proud to say I have not been to a single animal camp, nor indulged in any photos with drugged tigers and monkeys - unlike the many thousands of other Brits here who should be ashamed of themselves
4. Thai massage is the best thing ever
5. Phad Thai was my fave Thai dish before coming to Thailand.... unfortunately eating a vegetarain diet here means its pretty much the only thing I have been eating and now I wish to never set eyes on it again. This is a tragedy but sadly its true.
Adios for now.xxx
