Before reading: This can only end well...
Finished chapter 1.
OI spent the entire damn chapter laughing literally laughing my ass off.
That was when the linguini attacked
But there? There I lost it. I had to stop reading and laughed for a solid five minutes. Utterly hilarious.
Rumors have it that the librarian in that lost library now eats a lot more bananas and can even catch books with his feet.
But that's just hearsay.
As the King of all Dragons, I must commit to reading this story of my people.
Dude, you've done it again! Continuing on to next chapter, but this is as hilarious as you're usual comedies are. I think you may have over used the meta jokes about metaphors in this one alone, but it was still great.
Meta about metaphors. Hur....
Da BUCK?! Ok... HOW did two amazing stories just HAPPEN to pop up like that AT THE SAME TIME?!
Starting to wonder... if you two are somehow the same people...
My face was that of Spike's. WUT?! Those fics were too much to handle at once! x_o
K, now imagine this idea handled more seriously. Instant epic tale.
...Oh God.
I'm gonna read this when I get the chance. But I just want to weigh in now and say "this sounds crazier than a sack of Discords arguing over who's turn it is to wash the accordion factory."
And whatever you do, don't call him an monkey
You presented a noodle incident.
You explicitly presented a noodle incident.
You, via explanation in the actual story, explicitly presented a noodle incident.
By their very nature, noodle incidents are undefined and never presented! Sweet merciful Heaven, Descendant, you've doomed us all!
Nice, a thoughtful humor story. I like it when the little things add up. The plunger joke could have easily been an unexplained one off gag, but you provided a reason for it that made it even funnier to me.
The mythology you create for the dragons is interesting. I appreciate the time you took the time to add some depth and explain the standard dragon behavior, especially in a comedy. Even though this story is not super serious, I still find myself rooting for Spike and hoping he gets through to the dragons a little.
Aside from that, I always like that you can actually handle the idea that Spike and Twilight's relationship is not easily definable, in this and your other work. Mother-like Sisterly Very Best Friend Thing indeed.
Final thing: normally I'm not the biggest fan of overt TV Trope references, but... I was still amused by the Noodle Incident scene.
Kenbroath is one classy dragon. Can you have him meet Fancy Pants so they can shift Equestria into classy overdrive?
And if yes, tell me where I can find more of it!
and the deranged that were into that kind of thing
Cannot fathom the reason, but fixated on that quip. As usual, you thoroughly impress. Seriously, thank you for supplying a fortuitous start to the weekend.
The last option was generally more effective against monsters, armies, and witches than it was, for example, in selecting a new prime minister, deciding what to have for breakfast, or helping a foal get her kitty out of a tree.It says quite a lot about Celestia's early years that she had to determine that those are inappropriate times to unleash the unbridled fury of the sun through experience.Live and learn.
Oh boy. This... this is going to be tricky. A shame belief and worship don't automatically yield power in this cosmos.
Also, Grumplight Grumple is best grump. The Mill Creek Bridge is best not-so-grump.
I'm looking forward to more of the Lawgiver. Great are his pronouncements! Benevolent are his intentions! Bottomless is his disappointment!
The moment I read "Whelp" in the title, I thought "Yep. Definitely The Descendant."
Sure enough... Expect me to get to this at some point in the future.
By the way...
In your story description:
Getting worshipped as a god by legions of theologically-inclided dragons wasn't really one of them but, hey, whattcha gonna do? Them's the breaks, kiddo.
Did you mean theologically-inclined?
This was brilliant, TD. I don't know why I was expecting any less when it's written by you.
It was actually so amusing that I was reading parts out to my mother. I think she loved it almost as much as I did.
Thank you for writing this, and, as always, I eagerly await to see more.
>>2591844 No, Spike is Alduin!
As ever, truly masterful writing, TD.
Thought process upon looking on FimFic front page:
"Feature box titles, then: meh, looks dull *click*, looks dull *click*, oh, long title that is either intentionally humorous or unintentional and sign of a disasterously bad author, most likely former, given feature box (but with quality of some fiction these days); check summary, then, *click* Spike fic as expected, promising summary (definately former case) and DECENDANT SPIKE FIC! DECENDANT SPIKE FIC! CANNOT HIT BUTTON TO READ FAST ENOUGH!"
Measured and carefully considered feedback from reading first chapter:
Will now continue to read next chapter.
Even by your superlatie standards, TD, you have excelled yourself. I have been in stitches all the way through (save for Celestia's song). I lost it completely at the "Consort of the Lawgiver" part and again with Twilight's title... Though there was so much Win in the humour, it's hard to pick favourites.
And the little epic history piece change of pace in the middle was made more poignant by all the humour.
Transcendant work!
noodle incident... did someone read Calvin and Hobbes?
Dammit, I hurt myself laughing so hard.
"Eep!" said the Mill Creek Bridge.
Getting old, really fast.
"Eep!" said the Mill Creek Bridge.
Getting old, really, really fast.
Well TD, it seems that you were in fine form while writing this. I do have a typo catch for you though:
Once the dragons had been reassembled in the meadow, they sat there under the gauze of a very disappointed looking adorable purple god.
I'm fairly certain you meant gaze instead of gauze.
Methinks that The Lady Consort of the Lawgiver may be having a slightly harder time putting her feelings in order thanks to this... At least she has gems.
Grumplight Grumple has mustard in her pencil sharpener... Again. I don't think any amount of happy squirrel dances are going to help this time.
That scene with Garble and The Plunger (capitalization required, it IS The Plunger of the Invictus after all ) had me rolling! Normally, it doesn't take me long to read something, but I was laughing so hard after each line that I couldn't see straight! I wonder how graphic his imagination had gotten before he ran off... Probably better to not put it into print
While all of the dragons' attempts to become more noble dragons are over the top and silly, it's just a little bit sad to see just how desperate they are to regain what they lost.
I don't think a comment on this story would be complete without this...
>>2591146 The great and powerful Descendant of Keh'An forces the noodles to bow to him! Also, he shall not be held responsible for noodle induced mass panic amongst his minions.
>>2592313 All we need now is the cardboard constructed dimension dislocatatron for proof... Too bad Smarty Pants hid that in conjunction with a certain stuffed tiger...
What are you talking about that's the best line.
helping a foal get her kitty out of a tree.Live and learn.
Boy was her face red after that incident.
Oddly enough, the most practical answer to two of those nightmare scenarios involved a toilet plunger.
I'm guessing that the two scenarios were the dragon and the Heart of the Mountain being breached. The plumbing being backed up must be Luna's job to fix now that Cadence is in the Crystal Empire.
kept her faithful student from devolving into fits of adorable insanity.
But her fits of adorable insanity are extremely adorable! Spike needs to let her go into insanity mode more often in my opinion.
But, there were still memories of that older time, and as a dragon's warmth met her Celestia heard one of those echoes clattering around her.
I could be mistaken but I believe that you forgot a comma: "warmth met her[comma] Celestia heard".
sucking the entire civilization into an alternate dimension
So THAT is how the Library of Alexandria was created. It makes so much sense now.
Here were the ramblings of the insane, the ponderings of the degenerate, and fan fiction… all of the very worst dregs of the literary world.
You know, a thought occurred to me towards the end of this chapter... It must have taken a lot of coordination on the dragons part to shout everything they said in unison.
"No, wait, what?!" Twilight finally cried, her hair frazzling.
Let the adorableness commence!!
Great story so far TD! I highly enjoyed this (even if it did take hours for me to read through it... stupid guests wanting to visit their friends). Can't wait to read the other chapters once I get home and (hopefully) free from distractions... though my dog and fire department might have a say in that.
Giant Mako is the boss, also this story is really good so far, will finish it later :p
I look forward to your thoughts!
Sorry about your ass. Glad you're enjoying the story!
You must!
Heh, a little bit of pondering about where that library went, eh?
Aw shucks, I'm blushing!
I can assure you that I am only myself!
This does end up getting more "serious" in the last two chapters. I originally planned it as something "deep", but it was a taxing read. I hope you still enjoy it as a comedy.
I look forward to your thoughts when ya get a chance, Rok!
You have no idea, my friend... you can't even begin to know...
I'm glad! Thanks for reading, bud!
I'm glad that you noticed the serious undertones, as I did originally want this work to be more explanatory. I'm glad that the world building came through a little. Yes, the SpiLight relationship continues to be the key for me, and I can only wonder if it will change if (when) Twilight's love interest carries over from Equestria Girls.
Only the blood of my enemies!
Heh, did you just quote Lincoln when he was asked about Grant's drinking? If yes, then you're my favorite person of the day!
It was my pleasure! Have a great weekend!
Hey, everybody has a first day on the job... am I right? ;)
Hell yeah!
Relevant indeed!
It's gonna be quite the ride for The Lawgiver! I hope you'll check back next weekend to see how it turns out for Spike!
Heh, yeah! Am I getting predictable? Just taking a little break from Zenith, and hope to be back on that work soon! :)
Ssshhhhhhh.... ;)...
Thanks for the catch, Redz! Gah! I hate when I make stupid mistakes like that!
Thanks, Vex! I'm glad your mom liked it, too!
Thanks, Fido! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I loves me that kinda feedback. I loves it tah bits!
I'm glad that you were able to find poignant moments as well as humorous ones, Commander. I hope you'll enjoy the concluding chapters just as much.
I like funny, too!
The conclusion is a little more serious. I hope you enjoy it, though!
It does make sense as a running gag, and an important plot point, in the conclusion. I hope you enjoyed the story otherwise.
Thanks for the grammar catch, Ry! I hope that I'm able to keep your interest with the conclusion next weekend. Thanks for reading, you know I look to my experienced readers for support!
Let me know how it works out!
Thanks for the grammar catch, Redz! I hope you enjoy the rest of the work!
TD... I think yo need help, I know reenactors are crazy but you have gone off the deep end.
Wow. I couldn't read this in one sitting; I had to keep taking breaks to recompose myself.
Best line? Of course!
But it also means we never get see Fluttershy cuddled by dragons. Or them cry at her stares and admonishing... Unless the author is waiting to use that in case the dragons go amok.
Either way, we see a bridge, and no Fluttershy.
Oh, I am. Though, will that red dragon from Smoky mountain, Crackle or the other teen age dragons, or that green dragon that chased Spike show up?
I look forward to see how the other dragons react to their back stories of meeting the heroes.
But no seriously, I miss Fluttershy,
Hadn't had a laugh like this in such a long time.
I especially love the way Twilight's acting in this.
"Eep," said that potted plant inside the spa.
"Eep," said Tom the rock.
"Eep," said the vase inside Carousel Boutique.
"Eep," said Pinkie Pie's bed.
"Eep," said Rainbow Dash's shower.
See where I am going with this?

Hi everyone,
I have searched and searched but I am unable to find what sets this light and the Liteflux LF2x apart from one another. The only main difference I can see is that the LF2x is happy to run on 10440s at max output. (not sure for how long though?)
I must be missing something... please be gentle if its really obvious.
Not-so-Subliminal Message ---> You want to sell me your ARC6
Better machined and anodized custom body. Hand picked LED emitter. Pop on diffuser that doesn't require removing the entire front bezel, to name a few.
Small: MJP Extreme III Orb Raw Ti and NS
Medium: Oveready Triple Copper E2e MJP-E3e (15-3Ostar) Surefire L4 (MC-E) LensLight Mini
Large: Surefire M6-WA1185 M-Zep MZXR-7a
LF2 reqired removing the front head. LF2x has a snap-on diffuser. At the time the Arcmania light first came out, the decision was a lot more clear-cut. However, the LF2x has adopted many of the features of the Arcmania. So that means the biggest difference will be the higher quality machining quality control.
Also, to complicate the issue further: both the liteflux brands are easy to perform emitter swaps on, enabling you to "hand pick" your own emitter. My current EDC is an LF2x with a hand-picked Cree 5A neutral white emitter.
Last edited by 2xTrinity; 12-21-2008 at 08:55 PM.
It says the Cree emitter is reflow soldered for the LF2x. Not really the easiest to remove, unless they are lightly soldered on. Do you have to use hot air rework station, or can they be removed with a simple soldering iron?
Either way, it's pretty much a moot point as the Extreme III with R2 cree has been discontinued.

I believe the driver is also significantly different. I measured three of these at 180 lumens on the highest setting, and a very consistent and stable 80 lumens at 50% (the default "high" setting).

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications »
"What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects nearly a third of all Americans. With hypertension, too much force is exerted on the arteries as blood is pumped through. This results "...
Read the High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications article »
Overdosage with labetalol HCl causes excessive hypotension that is posture sensitive and, sometimes, excessive bradycardia. Patients should be placed supine and their legs raised if necessary to improve the blood supply to the brain. If overdosage with labetalol HCl follows oral ingestion, gastric lavage or pharmacologically induced emesis (using syrup of ipecac) may be useful for removal of the drug shortly after ingestion. The following additional measures should be employed if necessary:
Excessive bradycardia-administer atropine or epinephrine.
Cardiac failure-administer a digitalis glycoside and a diuretic. Dopamine or dobutamine may also be useful.
Hypotension-administer vasopressors, e.g., norepinephrine. There is pharmacologic evidence that norepinephrine may be the drug of choice.
Bronchospasm-administer epinephrine and/or an aerosolized beta2-agonist.
Seizures-administer diazepam.
In severe beta-blocker overdose resulting in hypotension and/or bradycardia, glucagon has been shown to be effective when administered in large doses (5 to 10 mg rapidly over 30 seconds, followed by continuous infusion of 5 mg per hour that can be reduced as the patient improves).
Neither hemodialysis nor peritoneal dialysis removes a significant amount of labetalol HCl from the general circulation ( < 1%).
The oral LD50 value of labetalol HCl in the mouse is approximately 600 mg/kg and in the rat is > 2 g/kg. The IV LD50 in these species is 50 to 60 mg/kg.
Trandate (labetalol) Tablets are contraindicated in bronchial asthma, overt cardiac failure, greater-than-first-degree heart block, cardiogenic shock, severe bradycardia, other conditions associated with severe and prolonged hypotension, and in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any component of the product (see WARNINGS).
Beta-blockers, even those with apparent cardioselectivity, should not be used in patients with a history of obstructive airway disease, including asthma.

90% of his kicks were downed inside the 10.....any harder and our guys wouldnt be able to down it.....**** you dont have to **** on everyone lol
Printable View
Are we this good or are we still just playing decent teams?
Rivers just intercepted and it was run back for a TD. San Diego will lose!
Thats 1-2 for those losers!
My MVP is Allen Rossum. That set the game off to a great start!
i'm guessing you didn't read what i said, when he had a chance to kick it far, i'm not talking about the kicks that were downed, i understand that those had to be short, but he's had a couple of chances where he could've boomed it cause we weren't in the posistion to get it in inside the 20 but he didn't, that's what i was referring too, he has yet to show his leg when given the chance therefore he sucks lol, so far he's like shogun, can't live up the hype that was put on him when it comes to booming kicks
damn it, i hate when i two teams i hate play and they both can't lose, i hate the cards cause i love to see coaches that coached under cowher fail, but i hate the ravens........ so it's a lose/lose situation there lol.......... matt lienart sucks dick, they should've drafted cutler lol...
****ing ravens suck dick they lost to the bengals and are letting teams like the jets and cards hang with them
I vote our MVP today being the entire defense. Except for one score late in the 4th they bent but didn't break today. The 49ers were a tough team today but the defense got 2 picks (that first one called back had to be either an interception or a fumble) and were fighting for sacks all day.
2nd is special teams.......Rossum....single best trade made by the Steelers this off-season.
The offense looked okay on the ground but the air attack was fickle. Now that Heath is getting more receptions he needs to fine tune his receiving skills (looking for the ball/getting both feet in bounds). Ben is looking very good, fighting away from sacks and being smart with his gameplay.
Another well run game plan, O-line could have helped protect ben alittle better, but were able to get the holes for willie to do his thing. Bring on the cards

"The Route of Smoke" from Brazil wins EJA's Global Public Award in Copenhagen
Winners of the Global Public Award given on December 14th 2009 in Copenhagen: Andreia Fanzeres and Cristiane Prizibisczki for "The Route of Smoke". Photo courtesy: Earth Journalism Awards web site. |
And the winner of the Global Public Award is…"The Route of Smoke," a multimedia report put together by two Brazilian journalists, Andreia Fanzeres and Cristiane Prizibisczki. They tell the story of how customary farming practices—such as setting fire to land before planting—that contribute to the country's emissions are clashing with new methods for responsible agriculture. This entry also won the Latin America regional award.
Here is a short excerpt (you can read the complete report on the EJA website [1]or check out the original multimedia [2]):
"Nelci Queiroz and Augusto do Valle are but some of the land owners in the Amazon that contribute to Brazil being one of the greatest carbon dioxide emitters (CO2) on the planet. Every year, burnings in the Amazon are responsible for throwing about 200 million tons of this pollutant into the air. The transforming of forests and land for usage in the country answers for 75% of gas emissions that raise the Earth temperature and cause the greenhouse effect. Of this total, 59% come from the Amazon, according to the National Inventory of Emissions carried out by the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Another interesting award under the EJA umbrella is the MTV Positive Change Award, which went to "Trash is Cash", a song performed by Wafalme (a group of 16 young Kenyans), and written by Lilian Tende. The song shows how climate change affects people's lives in Kenya. "This my solution…trash is cash," they sing, in a video [3] shot in a grim urban setting.

"The call came into fire dispatch at about 5:30am Thursday morning – there was a major fire burning at the Edgewater Condo development in Nanaimo and it was quickly spreading to other condos and vehicles along Stewart Avenue.

There's a chance drugs may have been involved. In fact, I think we may know who started this one.

****HELP*** I can't find these sunglasses(on the guy) anywhere! Hoping one of you might know what brand and model they are!
Thanks in Advance!
I've currently only got Nike Free Runs for a casual sneaker and im going to grab another pair. These will typically be paired with a pair of khaki shorts. or some jeans. i'm athletic (soccer), and prefer white, as all my other pairs are black brown etc. and these are two pairs i have narrowed my search down to. What do you guys think? If you have any other suggestions feel free to share them.
^The SW&D thread: http://www.styleforum.net/t/164402/ask-a-question-get-an-answer-ask-all-quick-questions-here/11600_100
Hello all,
So, just had a quick question about these shoes. Could they be worn with jeans/chinos/dress pants? All three? Only dress pants?
Thank you very much!
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
I'd wear them with all three without hesitation, but IMHO it would make them marginally more suitable for that if they had open (derby) lacing, like this:
To me the ties look too casual for a blue suit. The shirt is also a part of the problem. For me, that shirt would be better suited for a casual outfit.
Head over to Norstroms or The Rack and see if you can pick up a few shirt and tie options. A light blue shirt is easiest to work with. With a blue shirt your tie options really open up.
@ Vinny - If your comment was directed towards me: I took the photo from ebay because I'm deciding on a purchase. I don't find that creepy at all. If your comment was not directed towards me, please disregard.
@MikeDT - I understand your point, but I also wanted to know if they were wearable with dress pants (i.e. for more formal occasions), which would make it appropriate to post it both here and in street wear, no? My apologies if not.
@Sinfjotli - Thanks so much. Really appreciate it!
Hi, I'm trying to identify the fabric of this beautiful suit.
Can anyone help me either identify it or the best way to describe this type of fabric/suit?
Colorwise - is this what one calls "Oxford grey"?
Probably newbie questions, but trying to educate myself ;)
Hoping this is the right place for this question..
Thanks in advance :)
This looks to me like it is a simple worsted wool (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worsted), perhaps a sharkskin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharkskin), with the color just called mid grey. Just FYI, most suits are made from wool and most of them are worsteds. Here is a good start for fabric decoding:
The 'saleperson' is the usual. A liar telling you anything to make a buck.
Break in a gap like that? No.
And that gap is grossly wide and ugly.
I prefer mine quite tight and I have seen a few that prefer a bit less so that is still alright
but what you have is........not good.
Do not buy or do return.

I am using Mp3tag v2.49a with Creative Labs MediaSource 5 v5.26.02 as my primary player/organizer.
Within MediaSource you can "Edit Track Properties..." via right-click on items in the "Now Playing" list. This brings up a Properties menu. Under the "Tag Information" tab are 11 fields. Ten are standard to ID3 v2.3 (I can verify them with Mp3tag). However, there is a "Custom" field which I am unable to determine its mapping. I've tried the included tag fields and extended tag fields from the FAQ: http://forums.mp3tag.de/index.php?showtopic=978#entry4093 and also a couple guesses at which field this "Custom" is by adding some from the Mp3tag mapping list: http://help.mp3tag.de/main_tags.html but to no avail. I did not try them all. Is there an easy way to look at all fields of a file with contents? Or, get a list of what fields a file has (even without contents, I don't mind looking through all of them - but I do mind looking at every field in the entire ID3 v2.3 standard one-by-one manually adding them all into Mp3tag). There has got to be an easy way to find this field and hope someone more experienced and knowledgeable than I can help me out. If you need to access the app, it can be obtained from Creative here: http://support.creative.com/downloads/down...ownloadId=11130 Many Thanks in advance! |

Try using Mp3tag's extended tag dialog to view the fields contained in one or more of the files. Highlight the files and use View > Extended Tags... (or press Alt-T). If it's a field that Mp3tag maps, then it will have a name from the field mapping page that you cited. If not, you'll see the actual field name.

Yeah, JJ I tried that. See above where I wrote, "I've tried the ... extended tag fields."
I also read the FAQ, but thanks anyway for trying to help. In case anyone is wondering, here is what the discrepancy looks like: I typed that "LOOK-HERE" saved and re-opened after closing both apps and get nothing close to that viewable in mp3tag. It's nowhere to be found in the extended (as you can see) or any of the columns in the main viewer (I checked them all) nor a few of the custom mappings I added according to the known quantities posted on the mp3tag link above (eg %fieldname%). Problem is, I don't know the fieldname and need someone to help me discover it. Is there a way to get a list of all fieldnames in use? That way I can look at them all (their contents, ie "LOOK-HERE" in this example) to find out which is which. PS In case it's not obvious, what I see in mp3tag extended tag field is on the left, MediaSource on the right. |

DetlevD -
I already had Irfanview and only needed to install the plug-ins to access the mp3 file. After scrolling past the initial non-text file contents (which I believe equates to the image file for Cover Art, which this file has) I can now view the rest of the ID3 contents, including the "LOOK-HERE" contents of the "Custom" tag. See: It's not indexed by one of the ID3v2.3 text meta tag frames (T***) and obviously why it didn't show up in my first attempts using what mp3tag had built-in. Oddly, even though it is text, it has been treated as a General Encapsulated Object (GEOB). I don't know too much on how GEOB is parsed, but it's followed by the text/plain syntax which puts it back into text mode even though it's not T*** indexed. ID3 meta tag frames: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3 How to parse GEOB (but beyond me, my coding skills are weak): http://patches.libav.org/patch/8492/ Since this tag is not mapped internally by mp3tag, how do I view this in mp3tag or anything but MediaSource for that matter? I know I can manipulate the mappings in mp3tag according to below, but since it's not there in mp3tag as a defined value to begin with (see list in my original post) is there any way for me to create it? http://help.mp3tag.de/main_mapping.html Or, am I stuck with asking the mp3tag devs to add this one in? PS Added a lot of that extra info and links for anyone else that comes across this in the future and doesn't have to waste the hours I have. |

Silicon Valley and the automobile industry are both pushing to plug more technology into cars, from entertainment and information systems to the processing power and connectivity to allow self-driving capabilities.
CES, formerly the Consumer Electronics Show, in recent years has stepped up its emphasis on auto technology -- even more so this year with Toyota, Fiat Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and BMW each unveiling futuristic concept cars at what used to be a radio-equipment trade show.
Instead of emphasizing their vehicles' handling, horsepower or fuel mileage, the companies showed off voice-activated car interfaces and software-controlled autonomous driving.
The Renault-Nissan alliance's self-driving vehicles [seen here], for instance, may come with a familiar voice: Microsoft's Cortana digital assistant.
Carlos Ghosn, who leads Renault, Nissan and the marketing alliance between the carmakers, said at a media event here that the group was exploring placing the voice-activated software in its autonomous vehicles, and would demonstrate some of that potential at the trade show here.
The Franco-Japanese joint venture is hoping to launch more than 10 vehicle models with various degrees of self-driving capability by 2020.
They've enlisted Microsoft's technology in that effort, part of a multiyear deal announced in September. The tie-up envisions bringing elements of Microsoft's cloud, its network of on-demand computing power and file storage, to bear supporting the needs of Renault-Nissan vehicles.
In another partnership, Nvidia and Honda both introduced prototype tools designed to gauge the emotion and status of a driver inside.
Software that Nvidia is building into its self-driving-car platform is equipped with facial-recognition tools and gaze-tracking. The aim is to be able to tell if an occupant is looking out the passenger-side window, for instance, and missing an upcoming hazard on the road.
Honda's NeuV, a concept car designed for the ride-sharing market, can be programmed to pick up and drop off passengers when its owner isn't using it.
Software developed in collaboration with SoftBank is designed to gauge drivers' emotions, and proactively make recommendations for routes or music choices.
Amazon.com's Alexa voice-activated assistant, already a ubiquitous presence at this year's CES, will be offered in certain models of Ford automobiles.
The second-largest U.S. automaker said Thursday at CES that customers can get "Alexa in the car" this summer on vehicles equipped with its Sync 3 infotainment system.
The technology will let drivers order items on Amazon, listen to audio books, play music, check news, search for restaurants and get directions.
The driver just has to push a button on the steering wheel and say, "Alexa," followed by a command such as "find an Italian restaurant."
Toyota debuted a concept car, the Concept-i, that includes software designed to learn from its driver and even drive itself.
The car, which features futuristic curved glass panels, is expected to be tested in the next few years in Japan.
The idea behind the car is to envision what an infusion of artificial intelligencelike software, named Yui in the Concept-i, and automated driving might mean.
For Microsoft, the Renault-Nissan partnership is its biggest effort in connected vehicles, a business segment in which the company is a relatively minor player.
A decade ago, Microsoft had a bigger presence in a high-profile deal with Ford to provide a modified version of Windows to power the automaker's Sync car entertainment system.
That partnership fizzled, and Ford eventually opted to use software from BlackBerry.
When software capable of piloting a car on its own became a possibility, it was pioneered by the likes of Google, Uber and chipmaker Nvidia, not Microsoft.
Peggy Johnson, Microsoft's business-development chief, is trying to build alliances with the burgeoning connected-car industry.
Integral to that pitch is that Microsoft isn't trying to pick a winner in the race for connected vehicles, and can collaborate on delivering mapping services, car- transfer and backup, or analysis tools for connected vehicles, she said in an interview.
Microsoft has worked during the past two years to unify the work of its product teams on car-related technologies under one banner.
The result, announced Thursday, is Microsoft's Connected Vehicle Platform, which is less a product than an offer to tie Microsoft's network of data centers, or software like Cortana and Office 365, into automotive applications.
That isn't an all-or-nothing proposition.
Customers in the auto industry "can take all of it, they can take some of it. It doesn't matter to us," Johnson said. "It's not one-size-fits-all. We learned that over the last year."
Besides Renault-Nissan, other partners demonstrating auto-focused collaborations with Microsoft here this week include NXP Semiconductors, mapping firm Esri, and insurance company Swiss Re, which is exploring using Microsoft technology to offer new coverage models for connected vehicles.
As cars turn into mobile computers, they "need to be looked at as portable offices or living rooms, places where Microsoft needs to eventually play," said Patrick Moorhead, an independent technology analyst.

To day I am engaged in my office, doing but little however as there is but little to do. The boys finished hauling corn. weather clear & pleasant until night when it hauled around to the north making it quite cool, and a considerable frost.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.

The Times of India: March, 2015
Kolkata: Jindal ITF plans to invest nearly Rs 500 crore to take its transloading operations further in Haldia. The company, which is already moving imported coal in barges to NTPC's power plants in Farakka and Kahalgaon from the Sandheads, plans to transload cargo at the deep-drafted location at Kanika Sands and bring it to Haldia. It has quoted a rate of Rs 366 per tonne of cargo to the Haldia Dock Complex (HDC) of Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) in a tender process that ended recently. HDC is sending the proposal to KoPT's Board of Trustees for approval.
"Apart from Rs 366 per tonne, the company proposes to charge about Rs 235 (as per Tariff Authority for Major Ports rate) and port charges from the shippers. This will come to nearly Rs 800 per tonne. The going rate is between Rs 900 and Rs 1,000 per tonne. The company's rate should be attractive to shippers. The total investment by the company will be to the tune of Rs 500 crore," a senior HDC official said.
The port hopes to handle an additional cargo of 5 million tonnes in 2015-16 if all goes well with transloading of cargo at Kanika Sands. There is more in store for Haldia. The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) also plans to set up India's first Inland Water Transport (IWT) hub at Haldia at a cost of nearly Rs 750 crore. Haldia is the start of National Waterway 1 that moves upstream up to Allahabad. The Government of India has stressed on making better use of the waterway for movement of goods and tourism.
"Haldia is the gateway through which cargo can move upstream. IWAI is in talks with the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank, for finances. KoPT has offered 25 acres for the project that will mean a lot for the state and Haldia in particular," the official added.
HDC, which handled nearly 28 million tonnes in 2013-14, hopes to clear the 30 million tonne bar in 2014-15. In 2015-16, it plans to move 34-35 million tonnes. For this, it is floating tenders for barge and fly ash jetties and an outer terminal for dry bulk cargo. These will add to the total investment figure. These jetties will reduce congestion as ships won't need to enter the impounded docks.
"The fly-ash jetties should be in place by December and the outer terminal by 2016-17. We can then think of handling 36-37 million tonnes of cargo. There will also be investment for a Floating Storage Offshore (FSO) unit for which a feasibility report has also been proposed. This will effectively mean a storage tank for petroleum in the sea into which large crude carriers can pump in their cargo. Smaller daughter vessels can then carry them to Haldia. There is demand for nearly 5 million tonnes of petroleum oil and other liquids (POL) here. Of this, 3 million tonnes move through HDC. Once the FSO is in place, we will be able to handle the remaining 2 million tonnes as well," the official said.

Dodgers name Bobblehead Series finalists
Dodgers name Bobblehead Series finalists
The Dodgers on Monday announced the final three bobbleheads in the 10-game series -- Hall of Fame broadcaster Vin Scully, World Series hero Kirk Gibson and first-base fixture Eric Karros.
Those are now added to the tributes already announced for Hall of Famers Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Tom Lasorda and Walt Alston, as well as the bobblequad for the record-setting infield of Steve Garvey, Davey Lopes, Bill Russell and Ron Cey. Legendary lefty Fernando Valenzuela will be honored with his fourth bobblehead, a club record.
Scully and Koufax will be first-time bobbleheads, along with Karros, Lopes, Russell, Maury Wills, Orel Hershiser and Mike Scioscia. Two of the tributes will be bobbletwins -- Wills/Drysdale and Lasorda/Alston.
The Dodgers are using the series to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dodger Stadium by honoring those responsible for some of the ballpark's greatest moments. It starts off with the April 28 bobbletwin of Wills and Drysdale, who respectively won the MVP (Wills stole 104 bases) and Cy Young (Drysdale won 25 games) Awards in 1962, the opening year of Dodger Stadium.
In addition to honoring the two Dodgers' managers, the club will salute current opposing managers -- Scioscia of the Angels and Gibson of the D-backs -- for their accomplishments as Dodgers. Gibson is an MVP winner defined as a Dodger by his 1988 World Series walk-off homer, while Scioscia played for title teams in 1981 and '88 and holds the all-time franchise record for games caught.
The series encompasses five Hall of Famers, four MVP Awards, six Cy Young Awards, two Rookies of the Year and 26 world championships.
The series represents the most bobbleheads ever given out by the Dodgers in one season -- 10, honoring 15 legends. The full promotional schedule is available at dodgers.com/promotions.
The best way for fans to collect the entire Dodger Stadium Greats Bobblehead Series, secure Opening Day and all other 2012 promotions is with season tickets starting at $5 and as low as $16 on the Field level. The collectible series is also included in a 10-game Mini Plan. Several 15-game Mini Plans are available that include Opening Day and two bobblehead games from the Dodger Stadium Greats Bobblehead Series. The 25-game Pick 'Em Mini Plan is another option in securing all bobbleheads and Opening Day. Mini Plan pricing starts at $8 per seat. Information on season-ticket options including Mini Plans is available now at dodgers.com/tickets.
Here are the dates, opposing teams and names of the bobbleheads:
Dodger Stadium Greats Bobblehead Series
Date | Opponent | Featured player |
Saturday, April 28 | Nationals | Maury Wills with Don Drysdale |

Australian coach Darren Lehmann speaks to CA TV after his side were edged out in a thrilling encounter against the West Indies by six wickets at Dhaka.
Lehmann feels that Australia lost their nerves in the fag end of the game which resulted in Darren Sammy smashing home two huge sixes of James Faulkner thus winning the game for the West Indies in the process.
Sammy remained unbeaten on 34. He smashed 19 runs off Mitchell Starc in the penultimate over of the game helping West Indies snatch a win from Australia's hands. The captain hit consecutive sixes off James Faulkner in the last over to seal an exciting game for his side.
It all came down to the final over of the game, with the West Indies needing 12 runs off six balls. Faulkner started off well with two dot balls, but Sammy spoiled the Australian moods as the next two deliveries were sent out of the park.
The West Indies' skipper faced 13 balls, hit three sixes and two boundaries, and remained unbeaten on 34.

Ryan Lochte walked away from the 2012 London Olympics with more than just a couple of Olympic Medals. The American swimmer also took home a set of razors from his sponsor Gilette.
Of course, these aren't your average razors. Ryan Lochte's razors are gold plated and diamond encrusted.
Lochte posted a picture of the gift on Twitter, writing:
"U gotta hand it to @Gillette for getting me my own personally gold plated and diamond encrusted razor. #jeah."
Some people might think that a diamond encrusted, gold plated razor is a little over the top, but Lochte showed during the 2012 London Olympics that he's a big fan of the bling. The American swimmer caused a little bit of controversy last week when he stepped out onto the deck of the pool with an American flag grill covering his teeth.
What do you think of Ryan Lochte's new razors?
The American swimmer is rightfully excited about his new gold razors but he's probably a little more proud of the five medals he won at the 2012 London Olympics. Lochte won two golds, two silvers, and 1 bronze during the London Games.

Judge tosses 2 of Hiram's charges
Justice William Erlbaum dismissed counts three and five – assault in the second degree and assault in the third degree – in State Senator Hiram Monserrate's trial, but left the top charge.
The bombshell developments took place on Tuesday, October 6, near the end of the seventh day of Monserrate's trial, which saw the prosecution rest its case and the defense call its first witness.
Monserrate Defense Attorney Joseph Tacopina argued that Erlbaum should dismiss all six charges against his client because the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
20 comments:
See -- the fix is in. By the end of the trial all the charges will be tossed. What a waste of taxpayer money. You knew from the beginning that he was going to walk. What a farce!

If the girl says it was an accident, then it was an accident. Surely we can better utilize our resources more effectively, like cleaning up Roosevelt Avenue from all the drugs and prostitutes. What a waste of Money going after someone who has no history of Domestic Violence. Its pretty Pathetic since the establishment cant knock out Monserratte in the Ballot box, they try to get him out on this crap. I hope he gets off and screws the establishment.

when is the best time to buy a booster seat?
6 Comments
View replies byAdf0905 - posted on 04/20/2009
It's safest to keep them in a 5 point harness for as long as the car seat allows. Maybe have a fire department look at the car seat to ensure it's installed correctly and the straps are correct? I don't know how to post videos here, but I would suggest you go to youtube and look for "Kyle David Miller" and watch the video.

Quoting Nicole:
the reason i was asking is because my 3yr old pulls the chest strap down an shimmys out out. and her carseat straps are tight enough.
Do you think she'd be mature enough not to do this with a booster/carseat strap? It is much easier to get out of those or to put them on incorrectly.
Jen - posted on 04/19/2009
You should try a high back booster. It's like a care seat, but you use the seat belt. The weight limit on the no back boosters are 30lbs-100lbs, but the age suggestion is 4. My friend put her 2-year-old in one and I just don't think it's safe for a child that young. The whole point of boosters and car seats is to elevate the child high enough so that if there was a crash they would be a little more protected. The seat that my parents have for my daughter is a forward facing car seat to high back booster. When she hits 35lbs you take the harness out and use the seat belt instead. The brand is Evenflo, but other brands make them.

I'm not sure where you live but in Ireland we can only have boosters from 15kgs up. Our laws here are very clear and very strict. It's a punishable offense not to have your children in their weight/height appropriate seats.

Joke Crosby, a student of history and medical policy at Brandeis University posted one of the most despicable and scurrilous trashings of a blogger I have ever read. Of course, the Al Quaida of Autism Blog hosts his garbage.
Joke trashed Dr. David Gorski with distortions, lies and manufactured ideas. I had trouble reading it, and, of course, the commenters made Joke looked mild. They posted details of Dr. Gorski's practice, and the people with whom he works. He is a surgeon-scientist specializing in breast cancer.
What Joke is too young (stupid?) to realize is that this diatribe on his part is a de facto admission that he cannot win an argument on the merits.
I am asking all the loyal readers to express their revulsion at this attack. Post comments, as many as you feel necessary, to get your point across at the Al Quaida of Autism blog. Since they censor contrary opinions, please feel free to also post your comments here.
You could also suggest this on any other blogs you may read. The editors of AoA have way too much time on their hands, and Joke is off for the summer, and needs to spend some quality time with a thought.
Remember, do not hold back. Express yourselves early and, most importantly, often.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Gene Smith, Ohio State associate vice president and director of athletics, announced today Mark Osiecki will not return as head coach of the Buckeye men's hockey program.
"We are making a change in our head hockey coaching position," Smith said. "There was a difference of opinion over the management of the program that could not be resolved."
Osiecki recently completed his third season as the head coach of the Buckeyes, leading the squad to a 16-17-7 ledger. The squad was 13-10-5 in Central Collegiate Hockey Association play to tie for fourth place and advanced to the league semifinals. In his Ohio State career, Osiecki had a 46-50-16 record.
In the interim, Steve Rohlik, associate head hockey coach, will be the primary point person for the program, student-athletes and recruits.

Gene and all - after manually unlocking the door, cleaning the large debris filter (gobs of lint, remnants of pocket papers, and even a mechanical pencil in three pieces in the filter!), and plugging the washer back in I was finally able to cancel the cycle. Ran it through the diag cycle with no issues and its happily doing a load of darks now. Thanks so much for your assistance. - John

Most insurers measure customer communications success in terms of customer loyalty, retention and satisfaction, according to a new survey.
Forrester Research, Cambridge, Mass., discloses this finding in a new report commissioned by GMC Software Technology, entitled, "Insurance Companies are Falling Behind in Delivering Modern Communications." The study polled 90 business and IT decision-makers at insurers to ascertain their top communications priorities, "pain points," objectives and implementation challenges.
More than six in ten (63 percent) insurers polled say they measure customer communications success in terms of customer loyalty, retention and satisfaction. Significant percentages of respondents also identified increased revenue due to better customer experience (54 percent); lowered cost of servicing and acquiring customers (46 percent); error reduction (33 percent); and acceleration of customer action through intuitive user experiences (29 percent).
When asked the top business goal underpinning customer communications, nearly three in ten of the respondents (28 percent) identify improving customer service with more rapid and targeted communications. Also flagged as a top business are the following:
● Lowering costs through increased automation (20 percent);
● Improving the quality of and accessibility of customer data for cross-channel and department-initiated processes (8 percent);
● Improving content/brand consistency and reuse of content for cross-channel communications (9 percent);
● Making it easier to tailor communications to meet regulations and mandates and ensure compliance (10 percent);
● Improve worker efficiency and effectiveness through more control of output for personalization and content (10 percent);
● Consolidate/standardize solutions (11 percent);
● Reduce paper and fax communication (4 percent); and
● Other (1 percent)
Turning to how important customer communications management (CCM) is to their customer experience strategy, the respondents replied as follows:
CCM is an integral and very important part of our overall customer experience strategy | 31% |
CCM is a vital part of our overall customer experience strategy | 31% |
CCM is an important part of our overall customer experience strategy | 19% |
CCM represents baseline functionality for our strategy, but emerging social and mobile solutions will drive our future | 8% |
CCM is not an important part of our overall customer experience strategy | 3% |

Gosh, I added the little devil icon and everything. I figured I'd get in with a pun before somebody else did.
It's just that hearing memento pronounced "momento" is a pet peeve of mine. It really grates on me, and it's rooted in the completely wrong assumption that the word is somehow related to "moment." It isn't. Not even slightly. It's from the same root as memory, remember, etc. So making a joke based on the exact misconception I'm trying to correct just makes it harder to get that across. So no, I'm not inclined to be amused by that.
In the spirit of the season I offer... Blackadder: "A Merry Messy Christmas." `Christmas' has an H in it, Mr Baldrick. Baldrick: Oh... Blackadder: ...and an R. Also an I, and an S. Also T and M and A... ...and another S. Oh, and you've missed out the C at the beginning. Congratulations, Mr Baldrick! Something of a triumph, I think -- you must be the first person ever to spell `Christmas' without getting any of the letters right at all.
Sorry, about that. I couldn't remember if that was the same one that was posted before. So I decided to post it just in case it wasn't, guess I should have gone with my gut and not posted it. I'm really, really excited for all four of these. I've enjoyed stories by all of these authors in the past, and they all focus on topics or characters I'm interested in.
I will say that out of the four books listed there "A Choice of Catastrophes" and "Cast No Shadow" interest me the most.
It's not Signum. The Reynolds & Hearn back catalog have been sold lock stock to another company. I don't think it's been officially announced yet, so I can't say any more than that.
Not Trek, but there's also a description for Greg Cox's Warehouse 13 novel A Touch of Fever: I guess its accuracy is similar to the Star Trek books, but maybe Greg can chime in on that.
Actually that's 100% accurate, probably because I pretty much wrote the copy myself! (Although I should probably throw in the proviso that the manuscript is still being edited and looked at by syfy, so there could be some editorial revisions down the road. I doubt if the basic plot will change, though, since that was approved in advance.) Can't wait to see the cover! (Thanks for posting that, btw.)
I don't think I've ever see Voyager's belly before. Of this set, I think Vanguard looks the best -- though the McCoy novel is close, too.
I understand if you won't answer this, but I was wondering if The Artifact in the based on real history ?
I'm going to be vague here, but the "cursed gloves" belong to an actual historical personage, although I made up the glove bit myself. There are also a number of fun secondary artifacts that pop up.
Me, too. Before I even got started, I made up a two-page list of famous historical events, people, or objects I might want to use. Just for brainstorming purposes.

Digital globalization may sound like a fairly obvious process to content leaders and owners who may therefore define it in a too narrow fashion, i.e. pushing content out to the world. Like for other business processes they should mind the gap between quick assumptions and fast execution. Digital globalization entails the deployment of content across multiple markets and a multitude of steps. So it must be managed holistically and precisely to be truly efficient.

Will the Two Worlds Collide?
Although virtual shows can provide an equally robust experience in terms of content, many conference planners say that they don't expect virtual shows to replace traditional physical events or even cannibalize the physical shows. Instead, they feel both formats can coexist and actually complement one another. Some are even hosting virtual shows in tandem with physical events.
Elisa Camahort Page, founder and chief operating officer of BlogHer (a community for women bloggers), says she hosted a virtual conference in 2007 and 2008 in tandem with the group's physical conference. "We create a separate amount of programming," explains Camahort Page. Attendees to the virtual side of the 2008 show had access to streamed-in content, including the keynote speech. "We thought, 'How can we reach more people and make them feel more included?'" Adds Camahort Page, "We're committed to providing content and a place for people to participate and interact."
For those in the conference business, those continue to be the main goals of such initiatives. Elsevier wants to build such an environment for its customers and is currently developing a virtual event model that it has begun to show customers to gain their opinions. Still, Clear agrees that "the idea of a stand-alone virtual show—we're not there yet. The physical show will be the premium product." Meeting attendees and exhibitors at a virtual event is still not the same as shaking someone's hand, Clear adds.
Clear notes how the dissemination of information is perhaps one of the most important goals of any trade show and that virtual shows are one way to ensure that the largest audience possible receives that information. "For every one person who can attend a show [in person], there are 10 who can't," adds Clear. Virtual conferences can help engage the segment of attendees that companies such as Elsevier would otherwise not be able to serve. "People will still pay to go to conferences," predicts Clear. "This is aimed at those who don't go to [traditional] conferences. It's about offering them something they don't have."
Virtual shows can also ensure that attendees retain the information presented to them well after the show ends. One benefit virtual show hosts enjoy is the fact that once the show closes, attendees can continue to "visit." For Quest, that means keeping presentations archived on the company's site for 6 months, at which point a new show will likely replace that content.
This can be a strong selling point for conference planners who are trying to attract vendors to their virtual exhibit halls. "From a sponsorship perspective, they can maintain a permanent presence," notes Clear. It can be an inexpensive venture for vendors that can yield very qualified leads, since only interested attendees would likely click on a vendor's offering to learn more. Clear adds that his goal would be to have sponsors cover the cost of virtual shows.
A Virtual Future
What exactly does the future hold for virtual shows? Those who have hosted such shows say they have plans to continue to build out this part of their business. Handley says MarketingProfs has two live events and two virtual events on the schedule for 2009, including the B2B 2.0 EXPO slated for March. "We're definitely going to hold more of them and develop that part of the business," says Handley. Camahort Page and Myers say they will continue to host virtual shows as well.
Yet Ramos wonders if attendee enthusiasm will continue as more conference planners begin to take notice of this medium as a viable option. "Virtual trade shows are now a novelty," she says. "Once that novelty wears off, will we find that we still pay attention to the virtual?" She notes how the ability to attend virtual events on the spur of the moment could make them enticing to attendees. But on the other hand, will attendees pay attention to the content if they didn't first have to pay attention to the details of attending a physical show that required them to make a commitment to pack a suitcase and leave the office? Time will certainly tell if attendees will be as committed to virtual events as many organizations are to further developing this format.
Interestingly, to continue the growth of the medium, organizations need to concentrate on the same areas that enable traditional physical shows to grow. To make virtual shows a continued success, companies must pay attention to the details, adds Ramos, such as the content, the execution of the show, and participation of the right exhibitors.
However, some aspects unique to a virtual show also require close attention. "You have to have security and server space," notes Camahort Page. You also have to have an understanding of your audience, and if they will truly accept the medium, adds Handley. At this point, it seems as if the benefits of virtual shows outweigh the drawbacks for many companies. If there is a time for companies to expand their virtual offerings, now appears to be it.
"If just on the green benefits and the cost savings, the time is right to experiment," says Ramos. Adds Camahort Page, "You need to allocate resources to this part of your conference; it will cost you money and resources."
Elsevier plans to continue researching and experimenting with the virtual conference world. "It's something we believe in," says Clear. "We're doing this in a measured and controlled way. But my personal belief is that this will be a large part of our business and our conference business. Our growth is centered around the physical conference and introducing the virtual conference."

Mumbai, May 26: Elated after pulling off a stunning win against Rajasthan Royals to make the IPL playoffs, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma said even though his team had the self-belief to chase down the daunting target of 189, he never thought that it would be able to draw level in just under 15 overs.
"When (Ambati) Rayudu was run out (with the scores tied in 14.3 overs), we did not know exactly (who qualified). We did not know the match could be tied in 14.3. We wanted to win in 14 or 14.2 or thought we would lose, but never thought it could tie on 14.3," Sharma said after the brilliant chase last night.
"The big screen flashed it but I was not watching it. But our analysts were working constantly and we knew we had to hit a boundary on the next ball to get our run rate ahead of Rajasthan Royals," added an elated Sharma after his teams five-wicket victory and a passage into the play-off.
Aditya Tare, who replaced Rayudu, calmly dispatched a full toss from Royals' left-arm pace bowler James Faulkner into the stands beyond the square leg area to complete the daunting task and then ran towards the far end of the Wankhede Stadium in glee with his teammates chasing him.
With the two teams ending with the same number of points (14) after the league stage of the tournament, title holders MI went through due to a marginally better net run rate than their rivals.
In fact, there was some confusion when the scores got tied with the run out off the third ball of the 14th over while going for a difficult second run with the Royals even celebrating before it dawned on them that the next ball was the clincher.
Sharma said the team knew how difficult it was to chase such a big score at 13 runs an over but drew confidence from the fact that it had done so in last year's Champions League too to qualify for the knockouts.
"With the 190 target, we thought we should enjoy and not take pressure. Doing it in 14.3 overs is not a common occurrence. It was not easy as a run rate of 13 was needed from the first over. But we also knew we could do it as we have the batting and we had included an extra batsman (Corey Anderson), so that we could chase whatever was the target in front of us.
"In Champions League also, we were in the same situation. We had then chased 155 in 14.3. We had the belief we could do it and were positive we could chase. The wicket was also good to bat on," said Sharma.
The Mumbai Ranji Trophy skipper said it was an unbelievable feeling to make it but also said the team deserved it as it had showed excellent consistency after losing the first five games in the UAE where the first phase of the tournament was held because of general elections in the country.
"It's an unbelievable feeling, honestly. People wrote us off after those first 5 games. To come here at the end of day and see Mumbai Indians at no. 4 is simply amazing. We really played some good cricket and deserved to be in top 4. Since we came back to India we have played 9 games and lost only 2 and won 7. It shows we are a consistent team.
Sharma was all praise for the left-handed Kiwi Corey Anderson for his whirlwind unbeaten 95 off only 44 balls (with 6 sixes and 9 fours in it) and his match-winning partnership of 81 runs for the fifth wicket with Rayudu who made an invaluable 10-ball 30 with a six and five fours.
"He proved that he's capable of doing such heroics on the field. He always had that ability to play such knocks. I dont know what was happening earlier on. But today he performed the way we expected him to. It was a good choice to get him to bat at no. 3 and give him the license to just go and play his shots and he did just that.
"I had played with him in New Zealand recently (earlier this year) and saw what kind of talent he had. I always believed he could produce a performance like that any time and it was due today was the perfect day I hope he continues that form which would be really good for us."
Asked about the next game, the knock out play-off eliminator against former champions Chennai
Super Kings at the Cricket Club of India's Brabourne Stadium on May 28, Sharma said he was yet to put his thoughts on that.
"My mind is not working right now. I am not thinking about it right now. Probably tomorrow onwards it will be on. I need to relax in the dressing room and see how we have performed in the last 14 games
"Chennai is a good team we know their strengths and weaknesses. It will be a challenge to play against them. Their form is a little inconsistent. We probably would try and use that to our advantage, but no underestimating them."
