A 74-year-old homeowner in Lewes, Del. arrived home to find his front door forced open. Inside were two men, who when asked to leave, began to approach the homeowner. One of the intruders threatened the homeowner with a garden tool, prompting the homeowner to retrieve a machete and defend himself. Despite the machete, the criminals continued to their attack until the homeowner drew a handgun and fired at them, striking one in the stomach. Both intruders fled the scene but were found a short time later at a local hospital.

�After lengthy consultations, the BMC National Council finally decided to back climbing becoming an Olympic sport at its meeting of 12 September 09.� Drew Haigh competing in the 2009 BLCC at EICA, Ratho. Drew had to bow out of competing internationally this year because of lack of funding. � Alex Messenger/ BMC The competitive climbing scene has long cherished an Olympic dream - in fact, some participants have been cherishing it since the sport's inception, over 20 years ago. Now, at last, that dream is inching closer. The International Sport Climbing Federation (IFSC), the organisation that oversees competition climbing globally, was provisionally 'recognised' by the International Olympic Committee in 2007. Supported by climbing federations across the globe, international competition climbing is now gearing up for the day when it's ready to apply for official Olympic worthiness. Following consultation amongst the BMC Areas, the National Council agreed that the BMC would support the idea of climbing becoming an Olympic sport. This support will be based on competitions taking place on artificial structures only. BMC News, 21/09/2009 From humble gyms for rock-climbers to an aspirant competitive Olympic sport in its own right: the news highlights how far artificial climbing walls have traversed from their mountaineering roots. It also brings important questions under the striplights for all British climbers. The climbing teams representing Britain are woefully underfunded. Why? What funds support these 'BMC British Climbing Teams' anyway � annual BMC subs? Will the BMC be supporting the Olympic bid financially? Would Olympic status mean Government funding for British Climbing Teams so that they can make more of a mark internationally? According to climbing legend, the first proper climbing wall was built in Leeds Uni in 1964. Climber Mick Ward said: �One person came off that wall and did one famous route, after which we all thought 'F*ck! This is what you need to do to get good.'� For many, that's just what artificial walls remained � a training gym for the real thing � challenging yourself on rock. For others though, 'getting good' on climbing walls held a stronger pull, as did competing against others, and the story was just beginning. Like some kind of unstoppable evolution, walls and holds developed under the fingertips of generations of these climbers. And now, 45 years after that Leeds wall was built, there are routes attainable only by those prepared to spend countless hours squinting at minute chunks of plastic bolted at improbable angles, and we have this almost unrecognisable offshoot of mountaineering - competition climbing - so firmly rooted as a sport in its own right that it's heading for the Olympics. Rob Adie, Climbing Walls and Competition Officer for the BMC explains: �I think competition climbing would make an excellent Olympic sport. The question is just what form the Olympic sport would be and what aspects � lead, speed and/or bouldering?� By some estimates over 2,000 climbers in the UK participate in climbing competitions each year. � Alex Messenger A short history of indoor competition climbingIn 1986, the French organised the first indoor competition near Lyon. The International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation (UIAA) recognised the indoor competition circuit in the late 1980s. The first UIAA sanctioned World Cup series was in 1989 and the first event was run by the BMC in Leeds: our own Jerry Moffatt won it, and Simon Nadin was the first World Cup champion that year, having narrowly beaten Jerry over the whole series. In 1998 the new discipline of bouldering was officially introduced. All was going well until 2006, when the UIAA decided to cease governance of sport climbing competitions. 48 federations then convened to create the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) and carried on governing sport climbing independently. Who needs rocks? Does the future of the sport lie in artificial and competition climbing? 'After two centuries of mountaineering tradition, two decades of competition, there is now a new millennium to climb.' The IFSC According to the IFSC, competition climbing satisfies the 'human desire for more commitment, excellence and challenge' by enabling participants to climb faster, higher and stronger, 'challenging gravity and themselves in safety' and leaving 'mother nature unspoiled' by eliminating environmental impact. In Britain though, surely more 'commitment, excellence and challenge' means less (or no) bouldering mats underneath hard, committing and hardly-protectable outdoor routes, climbed onsight and ground up in poor British weather conditions. Not practising on a top-rope also handily eliminates most environmental impact, so everyone's a winner aren't they? Mike Coxsey, father of Junior Climbing Team star Shauna Coxsey, thinks this kind of British trad-mentality is making Brits drag their rock shoes in the comp climbing revolution: �You just have to look on UKClimbing.com. If there's a news item � the British Junior Team have done well in an international climbing competition, there are no replies posted. If someone writes in a forum 'I've just done this HVS' that gets loads of replies!�
However, thousands of UK climbers of all ages are drawn by the bright plastic of climbing competitions; numbers are rapidly increasing, and it's also become quite a popular spectator sport. Lots of British Team climbers also do amazing things outdoors on rock, proving the two sports can harmoniously co-exist. And, even if you have no interest in climbing competitions, you have to respect those who sweat, sacrifice and dedicate themselves to getting podium positions in the name of British climbing. Are competitions going mainstream? 'Ever heard of bouldering? Thought not. I hadn't, either, until a friend alerted me to what I can only describe as a sport of unmitigated magnificence.' Matthew Syed talking about the British Bouldering Championships at Times Online, October 2009
Drew Haigh: British Lead Competition Champion UKC News © OCD �Competitions just take over your life. Every waking minute is spent either training or feeling guilty about not training. Early mornings in the gym with afternoons and evenings at the wall. Double sessions - as much as I can take. On the rare occasions when my body won't let me get out of bed to train, it's reluctantly forgotten about until I've recovered enough to crack on."British Lead Champion, Drew Haigh
What's the point of comps? Opinions of the British climbing elite
World class professional British climber, Tyler Landman: (�Although Tyler's background does include competitions, and when he was invited onto the British Team a few years ago the invite letter was framed on his kitchen wall,� says Graeme Alderson from Sheffield's Climbing Works)
Leah Crane from the British Bouldering Team:
Shauna Coxsey from the British Junior Team: British Climbing Teams lack support
Over the last few months, Drew Haigh had planned to compete at Barcelona, Imst in Austria and Puurs in Belgium, and UKClimbing.com had commissioned him to write about each competition. However, recently UKC HQ learned it was all off: the flights, car hire and accommodation would cost him personally over £1,500 for those three competitions. Expenses from the BMC would total £90. Why so little? - The BMC puts £15,000 a year into comp climbing. This is distributed to the British Climbing Teams by the team's size and success-rate: the Juniors and the Boulderers are enjoying a run of good form, so get the most funds. The money is then further divided to cover team training, comp licenses and travel expenses for the volunteers (who, for example, manage the Teams) ... the leftover pennies are divided amongst the actual competitors themselves. In short, there is no money available to send the British Lead champion to international competitions. Mina Leslie-Wujastyk from the British Bouldering Team says: �I enjoy being on the British Bouldering Team and competing internationally. But because of lack of funding it is difficult to go to many competitions as we have to pay the expenses to get there. I think the British team could do really well in comps if, through funding, they were able to attend more.� Graeme Alderson, one of the bods and brains behind Sheffield's Climbing Works, has worked in climbing walls and competitions since 1989 and is heavily involved with the IFSC. He thinks the BMC are �happy to leave it to others to move British competition climbing forward.� Is he right?
�We organise the Climbing Works International Festival (CWIF) because we want to give something back to the competition scene in the UK, and provide a challenge for the best climbers in the UK and also from abroad. CWIF 2009 cost us about £10k and we only got back £1k in sponsorship. Also feel free to add I regularly attend IFSC meetings at my own expense - the BMC only funds me to the IFSC Plenary Assembly.� Rob Adie responds: �People tend to underestimate what the BMC does for competition climbing. Just one of the many things that spring to mind is running and organising competitions, which takes loads of staff time to administer in the office. All this time, much of it not immediately obvious or visible on the surface, has to be paid for. More often than not it's paid for by the BMC.� Not always, though. Sheffield City Council has invested around £20k pa in the BMC British Bouldering Champs, held at Cliffhanger, over the last three years. A significant commitment, and next year Cliffhanger 2010 will host a round of the IFSC Bouldering World Cup. Chunky Monki Director, Mark Lewis talks to Alasdair Johnstone at the European Youth Series competition It's not often a British climbing team has been sponsored with hard cash as well as clothing and the Juniors are delighted: �The Chunky Monki sponsorship allows us to be more professional. We have all received a generous amount of clothing and you can tell that we are a team at trainings and comps. The fact that Chunky Monki are promising money for photographs and publicity is extremely good! The funding for competitions in general is very poor. It becomes expensive when you are part of the team and you are travelling, competing and going to training events all over the UK and further.� says Shauna Coxsey (UKC News). But as Dave Turnbull says later in this article, "comps need an extra £50+k/year to make a real difference." Should the BMC do more to fund the British Climbing Teams?The Mountaineering Council of Scotland and the OlympicsThe MCofS published its Strategic Plan back in March 2009 after internal discussion and consideration from committees and particularly the MCofS Youth Working Group. The plan supports the inclusion of climbing as an Olympic sport. It is the aim of the MCofS to see a Scottish climber on the podium of the first climbing Olympics! We are also investigating representation on the IFSC. It is also our aim to see performance coaching for climbing established to support higher achievment.
Audrey Seguy responds: �As part of my job as Vice President of the BMC, I will be sitting on the climbing walls and competition committees and reporting back to the executive committee. I would certainly like to see more BMC involvement in Britain's competitive scene. Our national leading competition scene is shocking � less than 20 women enter competitions.� Even if it becomes more emotionally and physically involved in comps, the BMC apparently can't flash more cash on them. There are two Government public bodies that distribute public money into UK sports: Sport England and UK Sport. Sport England money CAN'T be spent on elite athletes (their cash does go into BMC climbing comps though). UK Sport DO support elite athletes, but all their resources are channelled into Olympic sports ... climbing isn't an Olympic sport yet and isn't likely to be for many years yet. So all the £15,000 that supports the British Climbing Teams currently comes directly from the BMC's membership subs and trading income (e.g. from selling insurance). But should the BMC be involved in climbing competitions at all? Why isn't Government funding available for British Climbing Teams?
�We invest National Lottery and Exchequer funding in organisations and projects that will grow and sustain participation in grassroots sport and create opportunities for people to excel at their chosen sport.� www.sportengland.org The Government public body, UK Sport, DOES support elite athletes. But it's focussing all its cash on Olympic Sports and climbing isn't one: �UK Sport is accountable to Parliament through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and works in partnership with the home country sports councils and other agencies to lead sport in the UK to world-class success. UK Sport is responsible for managing and distributing public investment and is a statutory distributor of funds raised by the National Lottery.� www.uksport.gov.uk Mike Coxsey thinks that, although they do a good job, the BMC is the wrong organisation to support climbing competitions, because its history and emphasis lies in mountaineering. �There just isn't an infrastructure to support competitive climbers in UK so that they're good enough to win! The same countries win all the comps � France, Austria ...� Mike Coxsey However there are very few climbing federations that deal solely with competition climbing, apart from (a few off the top of Graeme Alderson's head) USA Climbing, �sterreichischer Wettkletterverband (Austria), FASI (Italy) and CFR (Russia). The French FFME is not a pure competition organisation and Slovenia � who are very successful in competitions � are an old school mountaineering federation. Rob Adie responds: �The BMC are representative of ALL climbers, mountaineers and hill-walkers.� He also explains that most European sport climbing federations are funded by their Government, other Governments aren't gearing up for hosting the next Olympics, and other countries place much more emphasis on competition climbing anyway, that's why the sport gets more funding everywhere except on our blighted island, where we already have to put up with worse weather than most of the rest of Europe, as if that wasn't enough reason for British climbers not to get out of bed in the mornings. �The British Teams are in the unfortunate situation of having very little funding, no adequate training facilities and no decent weather to train outdoors that most of the Europeans have in spades. But at the same time, with all this adversity, we are still getting good results, particularly from the British Juniors and Boulderers.� Rob Adie As for your BMC subs, they won't be spent on the Olympic push. Rob says chances are the IFSC will not need the BMC to do anything in the near future, so �there will be no financial implications at all, until the sport does go Olympic�. Then, the plan is to apply to UK Sport for funding for facilities, training, expertise et al. �This money will filter down to grass roots level as well, and benefit the non-elite climber,� says Rob Adie. So, once competition climbing goes Olympic, it will all be more merry and bright for British Climbing Teams, and indeed for the British climbing community as a whole. In the meantime, we'll just have to put on a stiff upper lip, have a cup of tea, suffer our adversities magnanimously, and have a look in the UKClimbing.com forums to see if anyone's commented on a good HVS recently. A final word from Dave Turnbull, BMC CEODave Turnbull and Audrey Seguy, BMC Vice - President. Can Seguy make a difference to the UK competition scene? �At an international level the ball is now the IFSC's court to lobby for Olympic inclusion, while at a national level the BMC will be investigating what we can do to influence the process. The wider question of funding for competitions remains a difficult (and political) one for the BMC. We used to receive £30k/year from UK Sport. In 2003 this was phased out as a result of changing priorities and - what it judged to be � the limited competition success of British climbers. The BMC then created a c£15k annual budget for competitions (from membership subscriptions and trading income). Last year our total spending on competitions, including staff time and overheads, was £71k (roughly £1.10/member). This year and next, the amount has been topped up by additional Sport England funding: £16.7k in 2009 and £20.6k in 2010. Unfortunately this still won't be enough to do a proper job for competitions. The reality is that given the breadth of the BMC's activities and work programmes - access, conservation, safety, training, youth, climbing walls, crag ownership etc - and the demands on our resources it's unlikely that this deficit can be met internally. There might be a glimmer of hope for extending the current Sport England support for competitions but this is probably a long shot. The only other avenue would be to seek a commercial sponsor prepared to make a serious multi-year cash commitment to competitions and the British Teams. No one's saying it's an easy task in the current financial climate � but if you've got any ideas or would like to offer support to the British Climbing Teams, please contact email@example.com.� [Missing photo!] Sarah Stirling is a freelance writer, public relations consultant and copywriter, specialising in outdoor sports, the natural world and travel.

dvdlpznyc United States Show all reviews | Walks a very fine line between "twinge" and "cringe." There are dark notes and there are bright notes, and the significance of both aren't inconsequential by any means, because this is a formula where everything matters and everything is necessary and essential -- that is to say, it's cleverly composed. It's not subtle, not by any means, but it's very well blended. I like this fragrance very much, oddly, as it is completely not "me," but it is definitely distinct, and it's definitely succinct. 20th March, 2013 (Last Edited: 09 May, 2013) |
drseid United States Show all reviews | In the City of Sin opens with just a faint whiff of bergamot and pink pepper before a very nice cardamom, almost cumin-like undertone grows over time to dirty things up just a tad. The cardamom remains into the early heart, now joined by a relatively sharp apricot and plum fruity tandem with a rose undertone. As the cardamom recedes, it is replaced by a very nice incense note that remains through the dry-down. Cedar wood from the base dominates and bleeds into the lower heart notes combining with the incense and fruity rose accord that still remains, while a subtle patchouli note adds just the slightest amount of dirtiness to the dry-down. Projection and longevity are both excellent. 19 October, 2012 |

Well, at least until the next one is born in December/January! And yes, I am unanimous in that decision. ;) I usually read fanfictions that fall under the category of Fullmetal Alchemist, Law & Order SVU and CI, Harry Potter, Star Wars (usually KOTOR stuff), The Inheritance Cycle, Fablehaven (although there aren't many really great stories on this site for Brackendra which I LOVE) and random other categories that suit my interests at the moment. It is difficult for me to find the time to write meaningful reviews; but if you are one of the lucky people to receive a huge long review from me, then that means I really loved your story. About my favorites list: Usually, you'll find good stories on my favorites list. Currently, it is inhabited with... Mostly Royai stories (FMA) or Harmony stories (Harry Potter). Haha. They're good stories. If you're looking for a good read, and you like what I like, then feel free to peruse my favorites list. I think you'll find stuff worth reading there. |

Devils' Julien says firing took him by surprise

NEWARK, N.J. -- Claude Julien was as surprised as anyone when he was fired as the New Jersey Devils coach Monday.
In his first public comments since being removed, Julien said he wasn't expecting to be fired because only three games remained in the regular season and his team was in first place and primed for the playoffs.
Will It Work Again? This isn't the first time Devils general manager Lou Lamoriello has made a coaching change on a playoff team late in the season.He fired Robbie Ftorek late in the 1999-2000 season and replacement Larry Robinson led the team to its second Stanley Cup title.
"You're thinking you're going to be heading into the playoffs and you're getting mentally prepared for that," Julien said in a teleconference Wednesday. "You don't want to be let go with three games left in the season, but at the same time, everybody has a job to do, and that's a part of the game you have to understand."
Julien's firing stunned Devils players as well, even though the team had gone through a rough stretch, losing seven of their first 10 games in March. New Jersey has won five of its last six games since then, including Tuesday night's 2-1 win over Ottawa in general manager Lou Lamoriello's first game behind the bench.
Julien didn't criticize Lamoriello, who told reporters Monday that he made the 11th-hour change because he felt the team lacked focus and wasn't mentally or physically ready for the playoffs.
"As coach, sometimes you make decisions that are tough to understand but are for the good of the hockey club," Julien said. "In Lou's mind, he really thought that was the best decision for the hockey club, and I have to respect that."
The firing came a day after the Devils regained first place in the Atlantic Division with a 3-1 win at home against Boston. Winger Brian Gionta, last season's leading scorer, made his return in that game after missing 19 of the team's previous 21 games with a groin injury.
Burnside: Blame Game
Only Devils GM Lou Lamoriello could fire his coach and make it seem like it's the most logical decision in the world, Scott Burnside writes. Story
Forwards John Madden and Patrik Elias were also sidelined with groin injuries but have returned to the lineup, though forward Scott Gomez is nursing a leg injury. Julien said the team was starting to regain its form in time for the playoffs.
"We were working on that, for sure," he said. "Obviously we had some injuries, but you always hope that with your players coming back it's going to help. But there are certain things you can control and certain things you can't."
Although he acknowledged that the firing hurt him on a personal as well as professional level, Julien said he had no regrets about coming to the Devils last year and that in general he had been treated well by Lamoriello.
Before coming to the Devils, Julien was fired by the Montreal Canadiens midway through the 2005-06 season with a 19-16-6 record. He led the Canadiens to the Eastern Conference semifinals in 2004.
Lamoriello has moved behind the bench for the second straight year, although he said he does not plan to coach the team again next season. Julien said he had not talked to Lamoriello about whether he would remain with the club in another capacity.
Julien was hired by New Jersey last June. Lamoriello had coached the team through the end of the 2005-06 season following coach Larry Robinson's surprise resignation in December 2005. The Devils won their final 11 regular-season games to win the Atlantic Division, then swept the Rangers in the first round of the playoffs before losing to eventual champion Carolina in the conference semifinals.

The T-90 is a Russian third-generation main battle tank that is a modernisation of the T-72 (it was originally to be called the T-72BU, later renamed to T-90). It is currently the most modern tank in service with the Russian Ground Forces and Naval Infantry. Although a development of the T-72, the T-90 uses a 125mm 2A46 smoothbore tank gun, 1G46 gunner sights, a new engine, and thermal sights. Standard protective measures include a blend of steel, composite armour, Smoke mortars, Kontakt-5 explosive-reactive armor, laser warning receivers, Nakidka camouflage and the Shtora infrared ATGM jamming system. The EMT-7 electromagnetic pulse (EMP) creator is used in testing but not fitted to T-90s in active service.[3] It is designed and built by Uralvagonzavod, in Nizhny Tagil, Russia. From 2011, the Russian armed forces have ceased ordering the T-90, and are instead waiting for the development of the Universal Combat Platform T-99 that is expected to enter service in 2020.[4]
By 1992, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it could no longer afford to manufacture two main battle tanks in parallel.[5] Since both the "quality" T-80U and the cheaper "quantity" T-72B were being built at different plants, and each plant was critical to the economy of its city, the government gave small orders to both. Omsk built five T-80Us and Nizhny Tagil built fifteen T-72s, and both built more in the hopes of winning large export orders. Nizhny Tagil had built a few T-72BAs, T-72Bs upgraded with a third generation add-on explosive reactive armour (ERA) called Kontakt-5, which was already in service on the T-80U.[5]
To further improve the T-72's export prospects and its chances of being selected as Russia's sole production main battle tank, the T-80U's more sophisticated fire control system was also added to produce a vehicle designated T-72BU. The T-90 was developed by the Kartsev-Venediktov Design Bureau at the Uralvagonzavod factory in Nizhny Tagil. The production model is based on the T-72BM, with some added features from the T-80 series.[5]
The T-90 with an 830 hp (620 kW) engine went into low-level production in 1993, based on a prototype designated T-88. It features a new generation of Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armor on its hull and turret. Of conventional layout, the T-90 represents a major upgrade to every system in the T-72, including the main gun.[5] The T-90S have been identified as export model. The references to a T-90E appear to be unsubstantiated.[5] The T-90 is fitted with a "three-tiered" protection system: the first tier is the composite armour in the turret, second tier is third generation Kontakt-5 ERA and third tier is a Shtora-1 countermeasures suite.[5]
T-90s were used in combat for the first time during the invasion of Dagestan in 1999.
The Russian Defence Ministry made a selection of a single main battle tank (MBT) in 1995.[5] The T-80 was more expensive and its delicate, fuel-hungry gas turbine engine provided a questionable advantage. It was also notorious for showing how poor the older T-80BV tanks were in urban combat in the First Chechen War.[13]
By September 1995, some 107 T-90 tanks had been produced, located in the Siberian Military District.[14] By mid-1996 some 107 T-90s had gone into service in the Far Eastern Military District.[15]
1999 saw the appearance of a new model of T-90, featuring the fully welded turret of the Object 187 experimental MBT instead of the original T-90's cast turret. This new model is called "Vladimir" in honour of T-90 Chief Designer Vladimir Potkin, who died in 1999. It is unknown how this design affects the protection and layout of the turret, or whether the tank's hull armour layout was changed.
The T-90A saw combat action during the 1999 Chechen invasion of Dagestan. According to Moscow Defense Brief, one T-90 was hit by seven RPG anti-tank rockets but remained in action. The journal concludes that with regular equipment T-90A seems to be the best protected Russian tank, especially if the Shtora and Arena defensive protection systems are integrated in it.[16]
In 2007, there were about 334 T-90 tanks serving in the Russian Ground Forces' 5th Guards Tank Division, stationed in the Siberian Military District, and seven T-90 tanks in the Navy.[17] Some 31 new T-90 tanks were expected to enter service in 2007, and 60 in 2008.[17]
The Russian Federal Service for Defense Contracts (Rosoboronzakaz) announced in July 2008 that a new tank (which rumour has previously referred to as the T-95) was due to be introduced in 2009, but development was cancelled in May 2010.[18]
Russia is developing a new Universal Combat Platform T-99 (also known as Armata) to be ready for use by 2015. It is expected to have a more powerful engine, improved armor, main gun and autoloader, with ammunition storage separated from the crew.[19]
In 2001, India bought 310 T-90S tanks from Russia, of which 120 were delivered complete, 90 in semi-knocked down kits, and 100 in completely knocked down kits. The T-90 was selected because it is a direct development of the T-72 that India already employs with 60% logistics commonality with T-90 simplifying training and maintenance. India bought the T-90 after the delay in production of the domestically developed Arjun main battle tank, and to counter Pakistani deployment of the Ukrainian T-80UD in 1995–97. These tanks were made by Uralvagonzavod and the updated 1,000 hp (750 kW) engines were delivered by Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. These tanks however did not feature the Shtora-1 passive/active protection system though there are reports that a separate contract for shipment of a modernized version of this suite is being discussed.[20]
A follow-on contract, worth $800 million, was signed on October 26, 2006, for another 330 T-90M "Bhishma" MBTs that were to be manufactured in India by Heavy Vehicles Factory at Avadi, Tamil Nadu.
The T-90M Bhishma is a customised, improved version of the T-90S, which India developed with assistance from Russia and France, with both of whom India has very close ties. (Bhishma was a near invincible warrior in the ancient Hindu epic, the Mahabharata). The tanks are equipped with the French Thales built Catherine-FC thermal sights[21] and utilizes Russian Kontakt-5 K-5 explosive reactive armored plates.[22] Kontakt-5 (K-5) ERA in its export variant provides a protection level of 1,2 [20%] against Kinetic Energy (APFSDS) rounds and 1,7–1,8 [70 %] against Chemical Energy rounds (Tandem HEAT). Semi-active baffle plates and ceramic layers with high tensile proprieties are employed in T-90 base Armour. Even more advanced Armour composition was implemented in the welded turrets of domestic T-90 and on export T-90 Bhishma for India. In several tests conducted in front of Indian delegation using latest foreign ammunitions (APFSDS) of the M829A2/KEW-A2 type conducted from 250 meters against T-90S devoid of the normal built-in explosive reactive armor (ERA) Kontakt-5 (K-5) resulted in the turret being completely impenetrable. This absolute resiliency to enemy fire resulted at the end, as one of the most crucial selling point for T-90 Bhishma MBT to India.[23]
In April 2008, the Indian Army sent a request for proposal to Rafael, BAE Systems, Raytheon, Rosoboronexport, Saab, and IBD Deisenroth Engineering for an active protection system for the T-90S Bhishma.[24] The contract is expected to be worth US$270 million. Saab's LEDS-150 won the contract in January 2009.[25]
A third contract, worth $1.23 billion, was signed in December 2007 for 347 upgraded T-90Ms, the bulk of which will be license-assembled by HVF. The Army hopes to field a force of over 21 regiments of T-90 tanks and 40 regiments of modified T-72s. The Indian Army would begin receiving its first T-90M main battle tank in completely knocked-down condition from Russia's Nizhny Tagil-based Uralvagonzavod JSC by the end of 2009.[26][27]
The T-90M features the 'Kaktus K-6' bolted explosive reactive armour (ERA) package on its frontal hull and turret-top (the T-90S has 'Kontakt-5' ERA), is fitted with an enhanced environmental control system supplied by Israel's Kinetics Ltd for providing cooled air to the fighting compartment, has additional internal volume for housing the cryogenic cooling systems for new-generation thermal imagers like the THALES-built Catherine-FC thermal imager (operating in the 8–12 micrometre bandwidth).[26] In all, India plans to have 1,640 T-90 tanks in service by 2018–2020.[28]
The first batch of 10 license built T-90M "Bhishma" was inducted into the Indian army on August 24, 2009. These vehicles were built at the Heavy Vehicles Factory at Avadi, Tamil Nadu.
A Rs.10,000-crore purchase of 354 new T-90MS tanks for six tank regiments for the China border has been approved[29] which would take the total number of T-90 tanks in the Indian Army's inventory to 2011 and with a total of nearly 4500 tanks (T-90 and variants, T-72 and Arjun MBT) in active service, the world's third largest operator of tanks.
India plans to have 21 tank regiments of T-90s by 2020, with 45 combat tanks and 17 training and replacement tanks per regiment, for 62 total each.[30]
On 17 September 2013, India's Defense Ministry approved the production of 235 T-90 tanks under Russian license for $1 billion.[31]
The Cyprus House Defense Committee approved funds in January 2009 for the purchase of 41 Russian-built T-90 tanks. The money is included as part of the 2009 defense budget. Cyprus already operates the Russian-made T-80 tank.[32] In March 2010 it was reported that Cyprus had opted for 41 additional T-80s instead of purchasing T-90s.[33]
Anonymous Venezuelan defense sources said that president Hugo Chavez "wants to replace his army's obsolete AMX-30 main battle tanks with between 50 and 100 Russian-built T-90 main battle tanks," according to an October 2008 article by analyst Jack Sweeney.[34] In September, 2009 a deal was announced for 92 T-72s only.[35]
Algeria was said in June 2006 to be negotiating a large arms contract which would include some type of Russian tanks.[36] Saudi Arabia was reported, in July 2008, by Russian daily Kommersant to be in negotiations to buy 150 T-90 tanks.[37] Lebanese Defence Minister Elias El Murr met with Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov in December 2008, when they discussed the possibility of a transfer of military equipment including T-90 tanks.[38][39]
In February 2010, an arms deal was signed between Libya and Russia. Details of the sale were not immediately released, but a Russian diplomat stated that Libya had wanted 20 fighter planes, air defense systems, and may also be interested in purchasing "several dozen" T-90s, and modernizing a further 140 T-72s. However after Libya's crackdown on anti-government protesters in early 2011, the United Nations enacted an international arms embargo on Libya resulting in the cancellation of Russian arms deals.[40][41]
In April 2013, Rosoboronexport requested for the entry of the T-90S in an upcoming tender by the Peruvian Army for main battle tanks.[42] Peru is seeking to acquire between 120 and 170 tanks to replace its aging T-55 tanks. The T-90 was tested against the M1A1 Abrams from the United States, the Leopard 2A4 offered from the Spanish Army, Leopard 2A6s formerly operated by the Dutch Army, and T-64s and T-84s offered by Ukraine.[43] By September 2013, only the T-90S, the Russian T-80, the Ukrainian T-84, and American M1A1 were still competing.[44] On 19 September 2013, a T-90S was demonstrated to the Commander-in-Chief of the Peruvian Land Forces and 300 officers. During the day, the tank's combat and running capabilities were shown. At night, the accuracy of all weapons at different ranges while stationary and on the move were shown under limited visibility and mountainous terrain conditions. A Peruvian T-55 driver was briefed for 5 minutes about the controls, then was able to move and operate the T-90S, demonstrating the commonality of the two vehicles.[45] In late September 2013, the South Korean K2 Black Panther was entered in the competition.[46] Russia is pushing for the sale of 110 T-90S tanks.[47]
The T-90's main armament is the 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore tank gun. This is a highly modified version of the Sprut anti-tank gun, and is the same gun used as the main armament on the T-80-series tanks. It can be replaced without dismantling the inner turret and is capable of firing armour-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT-FS), and high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) ammunition, as well as 9M119M Refleks anti-tank guided missiles. The Refleks missile has semi-automatic laser beam-riding guidance and a tandem hollow-charge HEAT warhead. It has an effective range of 100 m to 6 km, and takes 17.5 seconds to reach maximum range. Refleks can penetrate about 950 millimetres (37 in) of steel armour and can also engage low-flying air targets such as helicopters.[5]
The NSV 12.7mm (12.7x108) remotely controlled anti-aircraft Heavy machine gun can be operated from within the tank by the commander and has a range of 2 km and a cyclic rate of fire of 700–800 rounds per minute with 300 rounds available (the NSV was replaced by the Kord heavy machine gun in the late 1990s). The PKMT 7.62mm (7.62x54mm R) coaxial machine gun weighs about 10.5 kg while the ammunition box carries 250 rounds (7000 rounds carried) and weighs an additional 9.5 kg.[5]
Like other modern Russian tanks the 2A46M in the T-90 is fed by an automatic loader which removes the need for a manual loader in the tank and reduces the crew to 3 (commander, gunner, and driver). The autoloader can carry 22 ready-to-fire rounds in its carousel and can load a round in 5–8 seconds.[5] It has been suggested that the automatic loaders on modern T-90 tanks have been modified to take advantage of newer ammunition such as the 3BM-44M APFSDS, which like the US M829A3 penetrates armour better than the previous shorter rounds. HEAT rounds that can be fired from the 2A46M includes the 3BK21B (with a Depleted uranium liner), 3BK29 (with a credited penetration of 800 mm RHA equivalency), and the 3BK29M (with a Triple-tandem charge warhead). Additionally the T-90 features the Ainet fuse setting system which allows the tank to detonate 3OF26 HE-FRAG rounds at a specific distance from the tank as determined by the gunners laser rangefinder, improving its performance against helicopters and infantry.[48]
Fire-control system on the T-90 includes the PNK-4S/SR AGAT day and night sighting system mounted at the commanders station which allows for night time detection of a tank sized target at ranges between 700 and 1100 meters depending on the version of the sight. Early models of the T-90 were equipped with the TO1-KO1 BURAN sight but later models (T-90S) were upgraded to use the ESSA thermal imaging sight, which allows for accurate firing to a range of 5000–8000 m using the CATHERINE-FC thermal camera produced by Thales Optronique. The gunner is also provided with the 1G46 day sighting system which includes a laser range finder, missile guidance channel and allows tank-sized targets to be detected and engaged at 5 to 8 kilometres (3.1 to 5.0 mi). The driver users a TVN-5 day and night sight.[5] In 2010, Russia started licensed production of Thales-developed Catherine FC thermal imaging cameras for T-90M tanks, a Russian daily said.[49] These thermal imagers are also present on T-90M "Bhishma" build in India under license.[26]
Different models of the T-90 tank are powered by the V-84MS 618 kW (840 hp) four-stroke V-12 piston engine, uprated 1,000 hp (750 kW) engines and 1,250 hp (930 kW) engines made by Uralvagonzavod and are delivered by Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant. The Т-90S with 1,000 hp (750 kW) engine can attain a top speed of 60 km/h on the road and up to 45 km/h on rough terrain. T-90 tank has classic arrangement of transmission, with rear placed engine and transmission. The 1,000 hp (750 kW) engines are V-92 four stroke, 12 cylinder, multi-fuel diesel while 1,250 hp (930 kW) engine is V-96. The T-90 export version i.e. modified T-90S is fitted with increased power multi-fuel 1,000-h.p. diesel engine with turbochargers. The tank is also fitted with an air conditioning system for work in high temperature zones.[26]
The T-90 is fitted with a "three-tiered" protection system. The first tier is the composite armour in the turret, consisting of basic armour shell with an insert of alternating layers of aluminum and plastics and a controlled deformation section.[5]
The second tier is third generation Kontakt-5 ERA (explosive reactive armor) which significantly degrades the penetrating power of kinetic-energy APFSDS ammunition and also these ERA blocks give the turret its distinctive angled "clam shell" appearance. ERA bricks are also located on the turret roof and provide protection from top-attack weapons. The turret's forward armour package, in addition to the ERA and steel plating, contains a composite filler of Russian composite armour sandwiched between upper and lower steel plates. The composite armour results in a lower weight and improved protection when compared with steel-only armour.[5]
The third tier is a Shtora-1 (Russian: Штора-1 or "curtain" in English) countermeasures suite, produced by Elektromashina of Russia. This system includes two electro-optical/IR "dazzlers" on the front of the turret (which gives the distinct Red Eyes), four Laser warning receivers, two 3D6 aerosol grenade discharging systems and a computerized control system. The Shtora-1 warns the tank's crew when the tank has been 'painted' by a weapon-guidance laser and allows the crew to slew the turret to face the threat. The infrared jammer, the TShU1-7 EOCMDAS, jams the semiautomatic command to line of sight (SACLOS) guidance system of some anti-tank guided missiles. The aerosol grenades are automatically launched after Shtora detects that it has been painted. The aerosol grenades are used to mask the tank from laser rangefinders and designators as well as the optics of other weapons systems. Indian T-90S tanks are not equipped with the Shtora-1 countermeasures suite.[5] it will be equipped with the LEDS-150 Land Electronic Defence System.
In addition to the passive and active protection systems the T-90 is also fitted with nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection equipment, KMT mine sweeps and an automatic fire fighting system.[5] The EMT-7 electromagnetic-counter mine system can also be installed on the T-90.[50] EMT-7 emits an electromagnetic pulse to disable magnetic mines and disrupt electronics before the tank reaches them. The Nakidka signature reduction suite is also available for the T-90. Nakidka is designed to reduce the probabilities of an object to be detected by Infrared, Thermal, Radar-Thermal, and Radar bands.[51]
During a reported test conducted by the Russian military in 1999 the T-90 was exposed to a variety of RPG, ATGM and APFSDS munitions. When equipped with Kontakt-5 ERA the T-90 could not be penetrated by any of the APFSDS or ATGM used during the trial and outperformed a T-80U which also took part.[52] During combat operations in Dagestan, there were witness accounts of one T-90 sustaining seven hits from RPGs, and remaining in action.[53]

Skinned knees 'verse - They read the book on the lawn in front of the library and he talks about sand and monkeys and zebras for an hour. Later it's Morocco, Alaska, France, Argentina, the moon.
He sleeps a lot more now than he used to; if he could do nothing but sleep, everything would be easier. Because there's a dream he has, a dream where the other has left him on a beach with Rose, left them together and gone away to another universe. It's a dream of sweet, wistful hope that is so much better than the reality of this new new life.
It's just a dream, he knows that. It's based in the reality of a singular wish that had once clung to his singular heart in the hours after his creation, after he'd woken naked on the grated floor of his burning TARDIS. When he wakes, it haunts him like the lingering ache of an old healed-over wound resurfaces with the threat of rain. (Barometric pressure, humidity, he knows the science; it's just a metaphor.)
But his imagination is so lucid. It feels as real as anything, kissing Rose on a beach while the other turns away and leaves them together. He takes her hand and she lets him.
When he's awake, the subliminal thrum of the TARDIS engines is there like a mother's heartbeat from a womb, a pulsing slow clock-tick that brings less comfort every day. He gets up, heavy and dense as a dead star, and walks barefoot down the coral gangway in the direction of the library—his only distraction— the one just past his bedroom.
Or what used to be his bedroom.
Approaching to pass the closed doorway, it gaps open, and a shock of blonde and skin emerges in a long shirt—what used to be his shirt—and, from the look of it, nothing else.
He pauses, thinking to wait for her to continue forward. She'll head for the galley to the right, and he'll be able to pass without incident. These kinds of strategies are his life now; how to stay in the background, how to become a shadow. Less than a shadow. Invisible. Instead of behaving according to his projections, she sees him, hanging back like an abused animal at the end of the long gangway, and does up a few buttons to preserve her modesty.
The other—the Doctor, he supposes is what she would call him—is still in the bedroom. His imagination puts him on his back in his old bed, divested of his suit, wearing nothing but sweat and a gloating smile.
Of course, why would he gloat? After all, it's not as though his world is centered on making his vastly inferior metacrisis jealous. He doesn't even have to work at that; he knows it. Why he's even been allowed to stay on the TARDIS as long as he has, he can only thank the other's inability to say no to Rose. The other's lording over him is imaginary; he doesn't care enough to go out of his way to rub his nose in anything.
The Doctor is not a cruel man; but his selfishness might qualify, in this peculiar situation, as an exception to that traditional constant. Indeed, that he's been allowed to stay at all was supposedly intended as a kindness. But more every day, he's found it to be anything but.
"Hullo," she says softly, fondly, if not a bit awkward. She never addresses him by name; she doesn't know what to call him. Every day, he's less sure of that himself.
Because for over nine-hundred years he was the Doctor. Until one difficult day, he woke up, and he wasn't. Not the Doctor he'd been, anyway. Not the Doctor that Rose recognized as the one she'd crossed dimensions to embrace once more. Dethroned from his own life, he lives in a spare bedroom on his own timeship, and even she'd had trouble recognizing him. He doesn't help with repairs. He rarely leaves the ship. The other speaks to him mostly to keep him in the boundaries they'd set up, their arrangement. He's told him frankly, away from Rose's hearing: the last thing he really wants is to spend sixty years travelling with himself, watching him growing old and weak in a way he never will.
He can't blame the other. If things were reversed, he knew he'd feel the same. Would act the same. Would make the same arrangement. Enforce the same rules.
This makes absolutely nothing any easier, knowing he'd do the same to the other if their luck had been reversed. He'd put him through this torture without a second thought to have what he does. To have his life back, and Rose in his arms, and a universe wide open in front of him once again.
The first rule is to steer clear of Rose without insulting her. And here she is, with her hair a bedroom riot, smudged cosmetics and flushed skin. He can practically smell the sex on her, and every day since his birth and her return has been a new, positively unique kind of torture he'd never even pictured as possible until he was living it and lowered to questioning his own identity when his memories are really all he's got left in this living, breathing hell.
Watching himself finally have everything he wants, looking through the prison bars of half-human eyes.
After every lonely, hollow day he'd spent missing her; regret sinking its roots deep and growing rampant and choking like weeds, now he spends every day desperately avoiding her. Not just because of the rules. Because being close to her hurts so much he can't breathe in her proximity. He stands with his pitiful human heart pounding in his skinny chest, his blood rushing with enough force to render him lightheaded. He averts his eyes like a scolded child. Anything to lessen the impact.
Nothing works.
"Sorry," she continues, biting gently at her bottom lip. She talks out of the side of her mouth, biting back what's almost a smile and what's almost a knife in his gut. "I…I'm never sure…never sure what I should call you."
He just gives her a grim smile that almost hurts forcing out. "Does it matter?"
She looks surprised, maybe a bit wounded. Bless Rose and her empathy. "Of course it does."
Litanies rush up his throat; he has to click his teeth shut to cage them in. Everything's a cage now. This body is a cage; this new life a punishment for something he probably deserves. These past weeks living in a guest bedroom have been spent in suffering, deciding where to go to get away from this, from the sounds of them together coming through the ventilation, the gasps and sighs, soul-rending moans drifting up the aisleways and through the walls in the vast timecraft as though they are always in the next room.
Yes. Embarrassing as it is, there is ever present, white-hot jealousy. Shame. Angry, bitter arousal. He's passed her in the corridor every so often, hands clenched into fists at her familiar scent, the same fists he's used to violently relieve himself in the shower after she's paid him a bit too much attention by talking to him, touching him—where his once vast personal empire is dwindled down to the scalding water and his own, resentful humiliated tears—because in this worthless body he can't just turn it off like he could before.
Like the other could, if he wanted. Like he always had, like flipping a light switch to sidestep these unwanted, complicated, base biological urges. Evolutionary holdovers, like appendices and tonsils; lust is his vestigial tail. Love is a splinter, a barb burrowing into his pathetic single heart; he wants to sink his fingers in and dig the whole thing out in clutching handfuls, like a rock buried in beach sand.
To think, that for this offshoot of his consciousness, this is how everything ends. All the places he's been, the things he's seen. He'll grow old this way; he'll die one day, never regenerate. And living like this, that day almost can't come soon enough.
Never in nine-hundred years has he ever debated the fairness of anything. The universe is cruel and uncaring, it takes and kills and the strong survive. The weak are cornered and culled and eaten, their bodies contributed to nourishment of predators and eco systems. Fairness is an imposed construct created by societies to minimize advantages of natural selection. Fair is not a naturally occurring phenomenon.
And this is all so devastatingly unfair, he can't stop himself from thinking it.
The Doctor, is what he wants to tell her to call him. Who else would I be?
Don't you know me?
Do you know…how this feels?
Instead, he gives her that painful smile. She licks her lips and his insides twist. He wants to touch her, wants to hold her and feel her breathe and her ribcage shake when she laughs in his arms the way she used to instead of looking at him with that phlegmatic smile like he's the man at the counter taking her order. Or rather, like he's some kind of accidental doppelganger wearing a beloved face.
Instead, he says, "What do you want to call me?"
And when she looks uncertain, biting her lip the way he itches to do himself, it's actual, physical pain. She tilts her head and he can see the marks where the other's mouth has been, and a bottomless ache echoes up from the vacancy in his chest where a second heart would be broken if the universe had any concept of equity—
And he wakes up.
He wakes up shaking with a dull pain between his lungs. Rose is asleep in the dark beside him, her knee slung over his calf, the warm sole of her naked foot against his like praying hands. Her hair is the same bedroom riot he'd dreamed up; she breathes out the night air in the stoic-visaged grip of sleep.
Moonshadows stretch over the ceiling and fade while he watches, breathing controlled to combat the deep, slow panic that wraps its hands around his throat every time this nightmare surfaces from the depth, bringing with it the buried terror that it's all an illusion, some kind of cruel fever dream he's bound to wake up from one day. He listens for the familiar moaning grind of type-40 engines the way children listen for claws scraping under their bed—the phantom, impossible sound of him coming to take her away. Holding Rose, nose buried in the tangle of her hair, he lies awake the rest of the night.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I really hope you can appreciate the blood sweat and tears that went into finishing this by the 14th. Painting the same thing 16 times is.. fatiguing. But I'm pretty happy with the result, so I guess it was worth it. It was very experimental mixing my portrait painting with animation. I may do more in the future but if so they will definitely have less frames cause damn. Also this is actually a bit bigger, you can see the full size here (x).
Also you can see a step by step here (x).
Even when it doesn't seem like it, Rose always listens to even the most trivial things the Doctor says.
"I'm left travelling on my own 'cos there's no one else."

#There is an Instagram account without a username #a glitch in the system #a place where pictures show up as if emerging from a void #(or maybe from across a void #who's to say) #Always pictures of the same blond woman #sometimes swatting playfully at the cameraman as she brushes her teeth #sometimes sipping on a cup of tea at a cafe in an unidentifiable city with zeppelins in the sky behind her #and sometimes hiking through exotic locales in every corner of the earth #occasionally there's a skinny grinning bloke with her #long arm stretched out to get them both into the selfie #Occasionally they're kissing #his lips to her cheek while she smiles a megawatt smile - or their mouths locked together (her eyes are closed and he's winking at the camera #Nobody in the Instagram offices can trace the origin of the pictures #they're a ghost in the machine #but at some point someone prints out a copy of one of the pictures and scribbles an inspiring quote across it and tacks it up in the breakroom #It's a joke at first #except within a week a dozen more of those quote-covered pictures are on the wall #Challenging and inspiring - images of this couple living their life to the full #living it together #Some of the people sitting in their cubicles in the Instagram office start to feel differently about life - they see new horizons within their grasps #One of them quits work to climb Everest #One of them moves to a different department to revamp the way they do things over there #One of them tries a new kind of food at dinner #One registers for classes at the local university #and one of them finally asks that neighbor out for a drink #The smallest to the biggest sorts of change - all because of these pictures of two nameless people #living their extraordinary life #day after day (via gallifreyburning)

BGA1 – Problems In Budgeting and Financial Statements (6 cu's)
I had just completed bga1 today. I found it to be very similar to FNT1 except with a few more tasks. If you did pretty good at FNT1 then you should do fine with this course. I thought this course was much easier than ACA1 just because task 2 of that course was tricky. All the tasks in BGA1 are pretty straight forward. Another course down!

Congratulations! I am starting BGA soon once I get the test for ATO done with this week.
Congrats !
I'm having problems calculating the mortgage interest on BGA1 Task 1. I'm using the excel formulas, ipmt, ppmt and pmt. Should I use $430,000 for the PV, or the $240,000?
I'm a little confused..
I would like to know the answer to this too!
I have never followed a blog before, this is very interesting!
do you have a mini guide for bga, could I have it if you do?
What resources did you find the most helpful for BGA1. Textbook or skillsoft? Or something else?
Can you please help me with BGA1 task 1. I am either getting wrong the depreciation or mortgage interest. I finished all the other part of task 1. Thank you in advance

Super Bowl Ads: Anheuser-Busch Chooses Humor Over Clydesdales
Published January 27, 2010
Clydesdales Not Appearing In Anheuser-Busch's Super Bowl Ads For First Time In Years |
MORE DETAILS OF THE ADS: In N.Y., Stuart Elliott noted "don't look" for Bud Light's ads "to be centered on 'drinkability,' an attribute the beer brand has spent more than a year promoting." Bud Light's five spots instead are "scheduled to be devoted to unveiling a new theme for Bud Light, 'Here we go.'" However, Levy "played down the significance of the disappearance of the drinkability theme." Levy: "It's sort of a planned evolution." Elliott noted neither of the two Budweiser spots are "laugh-out loud funny, but one is more light-hearted than the other." Meanwhile, A-B's ad for Michelob Ultra comes via Palm & Havas, Chicago, and will feature cyclist Lance Armstrong (NYTIMES.com, 1/26).
CHANGE OF DIRECTION: The WALL STREET JOURNAL's Suzanne Vranica writes A-B's new direction for Bud Light "comes as sales of the brand are sputtering." The brand had its "worst year in 2009, suffering its first annual decline in volume since its launch in 1982." A-B's Super Bowl push also is "likely to come under extra scrutiny because this will be the first round created without" former Exec VP/Global Industry Development & CCO Bob Lachky, a "20-year marketing veteran" who left the company last year (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 1/27). The AP's Emily Fredrix noted A-B "shifted away a bit from one of its main agencies, DDB, which last year did all but one" of the brewer's Super Bowl ads. The agency this year was only responsible for the two Budweiser ads. Meanwhile, Fredrix noted A-B each year "films more Super Bowl commercials than it can use and then airs the ones that do best in consumer testing." However, the company "still may change its lineup at the last minute before the game" (AP, 1/26).

This is one of the last two A&W drive-ins in Oregon (the other is in Sweet Home) where you can still park and order from your car. That said, we usually eat inside in one of the large booths in the back. From the inside booths you place your order via an intercom phone. Our kids love the place, especially in warm weather as there is an outdoor play area out back. A negative are the single-occupancy restrooms - you can be in for a wait when the restaurant is full. The menu is large with choices that include burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs and a large selection of various ice cream desserts and smoothies. Currently they serve all-you-can-eat shrimp dinner on Fridays and breakfast is served daily. We placed our usual family order: Five Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger combination meals, which is an ongoing "special" that includes a burger, fries and a drink for $3.99. We like to substitute for the drinks by ordering milkshakes, freezes, smoothies, etc. As usual, the service and food was good. The burgers are not gourmet - I would say they are most similar to what you find at Dairy Queen. This is our favorite area fast food restaurant as visiting is just a good experience for the family.
