Michele Ruggieri
Michele Ruggieri (1543, Spinazzola, Bari, Italy – 11 May 1607, Salerno, Italy; Chinese: 羅明堅; pinyin: Luó Míngjiān) was an Italian Jesuit priest. One of the founding fathers of the Jesuit China missions, and a co-author of the first Portuguese-Chinese dictionary, he can be described as the first European sinologist.
Formation years in Europe[edit]
Before entering the Society of Jesus (27 October 1572, in Rome)[1] Ruggieri had obtained, in Naples, a doctorate in utroque iure, that is: in civil and canon law. After completing the Jesuit usual spiritual and intellectual formation Ruggieri left for Lisbon, the gateway of all missionaries to the Far-East [needs citation, another gateway was the route Spain-Mexico-Philippines]. In Lisbon, while waiting for the ship to take him to Goa, he was ordained priest (March 1578).
Missionary in India and China[edit]
Soon after ordination (1578) Ruggieri left the shores of Europe with a group of 12 missionaries [needs correction: wasn't he in Goa at this point?], among whom Rudolph Acquaviva and Matteo Ricci. Arrived in India (September 1578), he promptly started to study the language used on the Malabar coast and in 6 months reached such proficiency that he could hear confession. It is probably this gift for language that made him an ideal choice for the beginning of the Chinese mission.
With a few companions, Ruggieri sailed to Macau, on the coast of the Celestial Empire. He landed at the Portuguese trade centre on the 20 July 1579 and started at once to learn how to read and write Chinese. In the process, and aware that several will be following him, he set up Shengma'erding Jingyuan (St Martin House''), the first school for teaching Chinese to foreigners.
Ruggieri's and Ricci's intent all along was to settle somewhere in "real" China - not just Macao, and to that end Ruggieri made a number of trips to Canton (Guangzhou) and Zhaoqing (the residence of the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi), making useful contacts with the local authorities. As such he is one of the very first Christian missionaries to have entered the Ming Dynasty Mainland China. After a number of failed attempts to obtain a permission to establish a permanent mission within China, such a permission was finally obtained in 1582, and in 1583 Ricci and Ruggieri finally settled in Zhaoqing, the first stage on the Jesuits' "long ascent" to Beijing.[1]
In 1584 Ruggieri published a Chinese catechism, the first book in Chinese written by a European. Visiting villages in the region he baptized several families that formed the nucleus of the first Christian communities in mainland China.
It is thought that during 1583-88 Michele Ruggieri collaborated with Matteo Ricci in creating a Portuguese-Chinese dictionary - the first ever European-Chinese dictionary, for which they developed a consistent system for transcribing Chinese words in Latin alphabet. A Chinese Jesuit Lay Brother Sebastiano Fernandez, who had grown up and been trained in Macau, assisted in this work.[1] Unfortunately, the manuscript was misplaced in the Jesuit Archives in Rome, and re-discovered only in 1934, by Pasquale d'Elia. This dictionary was finally published in 2001.[2][3] A Ruggieri is assigned to one of the first collections of handwritten cards of China translated into Latin by Chinese sources (atlases and maps), dating back to 1606, or nearly fifty years before the manuscript pages of the Polish Jesuit Michael Boym and the Novus Atlas Sinensis of Trentino Jesuit Martino Martini (printed by the publisher Johan Blaeu in Amsterdam in 1655 and immediately translated into several languages). The manuscript is now preserved in the State Archives of Rome, ms. 493
Return to Europe[edit]
In November 1588, Ruggieri left China for Rome in order to get the Pope to send an embassy to the Chinese Emperor. This plan had been proposed as a means to allow Jesuits to reach Beijing and to be received by the emperor. But nothing came out of it: the Popes kept dying on him, his own health deteriorated, and eventually the weary Jesuit retired to Salerno, where he died in 1607 without ever going to China again.[1][4]
In Salerno, the retired Jesuit carried on intellectual work that would make China better known in Europe. He completed the Latin translation of the Four Books[citation needed] (the classic Chinese introduction to Confucius' philosophy), wrote poetry in Chinese, and circulated copies of Chinese maps he had brought along with him from Zhaoqing. Ruggieri was also a much sought after spiritual guide and confessor in the school of Salerno. He died on 11 May 1607.

I really dislike this product. First off, i have brown hair, and its very fine. Because i color my hair dark, i was my hair every other day, so i avoid oiliness and color fade, but this i think is honestly terrible. The smell is very overwhelming and really unpleasent, it leaves a white color to my hair that makes it look almost gray, and didn't soak up oil nearly enough.

i have used several different dry shampoos and so far, this is my favorite... i think that there is something better out there, but i am still on the hunt. it is a little wet, but it's not that bad and it does take the oil out of my hair. i think alot of ppl aren't using this product correctly which is giving them that white residue... i use it sparingly and at a pretty good distance away from my head. there are youtube videos out there on how to use the product that are pretty good. i think that for the price it is a great value and it gets the job done. there are much more expensive dry shampoos out there that still leave your hair feeling gross and oily.

I gave this product a 3 out of 5 because, despite all the bad qualities I am about to list, it did soak up the oil in my hair and made it at least appear clean. It did, however, leave a disgusting powdery residue in my hair. I would run my fingers through it a couple hours after using this product and there would be powdery stuff all over my fingers. It smelled too much like a styling product (very aerosol-ey), and turned my dark brown hair a funky shade of gray from the white powder. Definitely will not repurchase.

So, I didn't read the reviews on MUA yet but I decided to try it out the last time I stopped by Target. The first time I used it, it did leave that gross whie residue on my hair, but I figured that I'm probably using it wrong.
I came across a youtube video showing how to effectively use dry shampoo!
I hope it helps, because after following the steps I had hardly any problems with the shampoo.
good product though, its not very expensive too.

What a disappointment. This product is too wet to be an effective dry shampoo. It takes longer then it should to dry and once it dries I can't get the white to fade. It ends up making my hair look worse. Save your money.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
doesnt clean my hair. when i put this one and i run my brush or fingers through my hair it leave a powdery residue on my brush/fingers and makes my hair even more oily than it is. this stuff is a waste of money. dry shampoos suppose to make my hair clean not more dirty than it is. waste of money
HORRIBLE. I have blonde hair and it STILL left visible white residue in my hair I understand thats what its supposed to do but it also made it sticky and clumpy.,, i couldnt brush it out after 45 minutes. I just ended up having to wash it out , TWICE anyway. I much prefer psssst. Save your money
I have tried a lot of dry shampoo products and this is by far one of the worst. Save your money ~ it made my hair look dirtier and oilier than it already was! I can't believe how bad this is. The only saving grace was that it did not leave gross white residue in my very dark chocolate brown hair. So at least it didn't look dirty and dandruffy. Spend a few extra bucks and one of the other dry shampoos. In my opinion Klorane is the best the of the bunch.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Do not buy this!!!!! This product is awful. I have medium length dark brown hair. It made my hair look more oily and dirty. It has a very strange texture to it. It also made my scalp itch. I did not like the scent either. I have tried it a few times hoping that I was doing something wrong. I feel guilty but I had to throw it out.

During fall camp, this looked like a huge separation game between perhaps the two best teams in the Pac-10 not named USC. It hasn't proven to be that, but the implications are big for both Oregon and Arizona State on Saturday night in Tempe. The Ducks can stay in the race for a major bowl, and the Sun Devils can stay in the race for a bowl period.
I expect a close game. I expect the Ducks to try short passes to get that aspect of the offense going. But I still expect more rushing yards than passing yards, and a touchdown each for Jeremiah Johnson and LeGarrette Blount. I expect that Arizona State will respect the running ability of Jeremiah Masoli more than UCLA did. I expect that to help the running backs, and also that it will allow Justin Roper to finally get back on the field for at least a series at some point.
I expect Rudy Carpenter to get knocked out of the game at some point, at least temporarily. I expect a lot of zone coverages from the Ducks, because they'll be able to commit more guys to pass coverage given ASU's anemic rushing offense. I expect Oregon will have at least five sacks, and two interceptions. But I expect the Sun Devils to hit on a couple of big plays in the passing game, too.
Particularly because it's in Tempe, this one could go either way. A turnover or big special teams play could ruin my prediction. But since Oregon is a tad better in both those areas, I'll take the Ducks.
Oregon 20, Arizona State 19

Like the late 70s, except worse
POSTED: Tuesday, July 15, 2014 - 6:09pm
UPDATED: Thursday, August 7, 2014 - 3:56pm
Tyler (KETK) — In all of my years on the Earth, I have not seen the world meting down since the late 70s.
Back then, gas was too high. The world thumbed its nose at us and our president sat in the White Gouse wearing a sweater telling us the good times were really over for good, to quote Merle Haggard, and we all need to face it.
I feel the same thing all over again, except this time I'm not 19-years-old. I'm much older and the world is clearly out of control.
This week when the president's press secretary was asked about the world virtually melting down, he said, "I think that there have been a number of situations in which you've seen this administration intervene in a meaningful way that has substantially furthered American interests and substantially improved the, uh, you know, the - the tranquility of the global community."
That's the president's Press Secretary Josh Earnest. Are these people delusional or what? And the president keeps thumping his chest about immigration reform.
A CNN writer said there will be immigrants flowing into our country for years. We won't even protect our borders. And the United States Chamber of Commerce keeps trying to work out a backdoor business deal with the immigrants to work as cheap labor at factories.
Those factories need to be raided and shut down. We are in a mess.
That's my point of view, what's yours?

Brits and others just abandoned Libya, the same country Obama & Hillary murdered Qaddafi & then left a power vacuum & let our Ambassador and three others DIE.
Meanwhile ISIS is not 50 miles from Baghdad, in Afghanistan the Tailban just murdered one of our Generals, in the Ukraine Obama still dithers while Putin ships in more men and guns.
And the unemployment rate went up and Obamcare rates will go WAY UP. Feds give housing to illegals.
Hope for change in 2014. It's ALL the Democrats fault.
don... the Republicans didn't give illegals amnesty. And don.. we do have VOTER ID LAWS here, so illegals can't vote Democrat or for any other party.
Yes they did deaf ronald reagan did and george WMD LIAR bush did to refugee children which is why there is a crisis at the border that y'all are crying about. reagan, y'alls GOD even gave illegals free health care when he gave them amnesty deaf.....what an idiot
Administration: Bush-era law requires us to slow-walk deportations
the Obama administration insists that in this case it must follow the law to the letter, even if that means the vast majority of those entering the country end up staying. That clearly frustrated some Republicans who even voted for the bush law.
Don.. it ain't SIX YEARS AGO. And the South Americans knew better than to try this stuff with Bush.
But it is TODAY DON. TODAY. And Obama does squat. He needs those voters to vote democrat in states that don't have VOTER ID LAWS. And that is what this is all about.
Fixing the election cause he can't get the IRS to do his dirty work this time.
All of the things below are the things that told illegals that it is ok to come to America.I wonder why the gop & bush did't secure the border & end illegal immigration during the 6 years they controlled congress and the white house? I wonder why the republicans gave illegal immigrants amnesty? I wonder why t-party rick perry put the dream act into law in Texas?I wonder why t-party rick perry said he would veto legislation that mandated E-Verify? greg abbott has not gone after illegal employers
I wonder why the GOP & bush did not secure the border and end illegal immigration during the 6 years they controlled congress and the white house?

I wonder why greg abbott has not gone after Tx. businesses for employing illegal immigrants?
Finally we're addressing the real issue! The reason this type of corporate malfeasance continues is because although the supreme court decrees corporations to be people with all the rights of a citzens. The court doesn't consider the corporation a person when they commit a crime. OSHA held both the BP supervisors on the Deep Water Horizon rig personally, criminally liable for 11 deaths. But the board of BP faced no charges! "All the animals are equal. But some are more equal than others."
I am never so angered as when I hear this nations greatest enemy, the media, pretend to be on my side.
Well Jimmy Carter was into 'malaise'. That is, the people, not him, were befuddled and thus he could not do anything, or at least that is what he said.
Speaking of which, notice Jimmy Carter has not been saying anything bad toward Obama lately? He had the vapors with Bush, and in the first 2 years of Obama he also had the vapors.
What happened? I bet Obama had him shut up... or else.
But yep, a replay of the '70s, but back then we had to sense to vote Carter out after ONE TERM.
Nell- I don't believe it!
You're actually addressing the issue of White Collar Crime in business!
Still won't take the plunge though because you're pointing toward the US Chamber of Commerce.
What have they got to do with anything?
Look to TEXAS laws!
Look to TEXAS Chamber of Commerce if you need to.
More importantly look to TEXAS businesses.
Your reporters know where the illegals are working.
Do some INVESTIGATING.
Break a story for once.

Event Details
Crop and Livestock Disease Challenges
Consortia Building Workshop
Tuesday 6th May 2014, 09.30-16.00
Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel, Birmingham
Event overview
The Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) are organising this free consortia-building workshop to promote the new Technology Strategy Board (TSB) Sustainable Agriculture and Food Innovation Platform (SAF-IP) £16.5M funding competition in the area of Crop and Livestock Disease Challenges.
The aim of this workshop is to enable potential applicants to get a better understanding of the competition process, rules and scope. The workshop is also designed to help with consortia building, and offers a great opportunity for delegates to give a short presentation to pitch their capabilities to potential collaborative partners. There will also be several dedicated networking opportunities throughout the day and the TSB and KTN staff will be present to address queries.
About the funding competition
The TSB, together with Defra, the BBSRC and the Scottish Government, are to invest up to £16.5m in collaborative R&D projects to tackle challenges posed by crop and livestock diseases.
Effective control of agricultural disease plays an essential role in realising the yield and market potential of crop and livestock production systems. This competition will stimulate innovative technologies and approaches that optimise yield and quality by targeting bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens. The competition will also support technologies that improve prediction, identification and detection of pathogens for better disease management, raw material quality and reduced losses during post-harvest storage.
Project proposals must be business-led and collaborative and are open to businesses of any size and research organisations. The competition is a two-stage process and opens on 6 May 2014. The deadline for submitting expressions of interest applications is at noon on 18 June 2014.
More details about the competition can be found here
Event Structure
The event will feature introductory presentations covering:
- Scope of competition and rules (TSB)
- What makes a good collaborative R&D project, and how the KTN can help you? (KTN)
- Delegate pitches outlining expertise and opportunities for collaboration
There will also be several dedicated networking sessions, and KTN and TSB staff will be present to address any queries related to the competition.
Short presentations by participants - Information and conditions
a) This event aims to help build consortia, and delegates can give a short presentation to "pitch" ideas to potential partners. Presentations could detail technology, resources or expertise they can offer to, or need from partners e.g. "Who we are, what we provide, what we need".
b) Presentations will be limited to 2 slides, must last a maximum of 5 minutes, and must contain no animations/videos.
c) People wishing to present must provide a title summarising their presentation when they register.
d) Presentation slots are limited, so the organisers reserve the right to select people to present on the basis of their presentation title, and will inform people if they have been chosen to present. People chosen to present must then send their 2 slides to the organisers before the event (and by 25th April 2014 at the latest).

In addition to the posts here, I see on other forums a general consensus that the Dish 1080p will not work with Sony 1080p equipment, period. Haven't been able to find a single instance of a Sony TV working with the Dish 1080p VOD. Anybody out there with a Sony that has gotten this to pass the test?
If Dish will hurry up and send me my replacement 622, I'll try it out on my 52XBR4. I'm definitely curious to see if it works or not on my set.

Keaton Steele launched a two-run bomb in the first inning Saturday. |
April 20, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Mizzou (12-22, 4-13) dropped a 15-inning contest against No. 19 Florida (22-18, 10-7) by a 4-3 final Saturday (Apr. 20) afternoon at Taylor Stadium. All three of the Tigers' runs came in the first two innings, highlighted by a Keaton Steele two-run homer in the first over the left field fence and a RBI single from Logan Pearson in the second.
Mizzou starter Brett Graves went 5.1 innings, allowing just one earned run and five hits while fanning two batters. Steele stole the show on the mound for the Tigers, throwing seven innings in relief while hurling 109 pitches, giving up two runs and striking out five in his time on the mound. Case Munson extended his on-base streak to 16 games. The game also featured the second-highest attendance for a home game this season with 2,563 fans packing into Taylor Stadium.
The Gators put one runner aboard in the first on a leadoff walk, but Dylan Kelly gunned him down as he tried to swipe second in the scoreless frame. Steele launched a two-run homer to left in the bottom of the inning, scoring Dane Opel for a 2-0 lead after one. Mizzou added on to the lead in the bottom of the second, taking advantage of three straight two-out hits, as Pearson brought in Shane Segovia with a single to right for a 3-0 lead.
Florida got on the board in the third on a single to right by Casey Turgeon to bring home Richie Martin, cutting the Mizzou lead to 3-1. The Tigers threatened again in the bottom of the third, as Kelly doubled and reached third with one out, but he was left stranded. The bats went quiet in the next three innings as both teams made pitching changes, the Tigers going to Jake Walsh in the sixth before handing the ball to Steele in the seventh.
The Gators put their first two batters on board against Steele, and a sac bunt moved both into scoring position with one out. Both runners scored, but Steele limited the damage to a tie game. Florida threatened again in the eighth with two on and no outs, but a failed sac bunt attempt gave Mizzou the first out of the inning. An errant throw on a double play attempt then gave Florida a chance to score, but Josh Lester found the ball and nailed the runner at the plate to keep the 3-3 tie.
Steele pitched around a walk and a single in a scoreless top of the ninth, and Mizzou put two on in the bottom of the inning, but couldn't score. Florida started the 10th with a single, and a sacrifice bunt moved the runner to second, but a fielder's choice eliminated him in the scoreless inning. Steele singled in the bottom of the inning, but he was the only Tiger to reach base in the frame.
Both teams went quiet into the 13th, where Florida got two singles to start of the inning and a sac bunt advanced both runners into scoring position. Steele responded by striking out two of the next three batters he faced, sandwiched around a walk, to end the inning scoreless. Lester had the only hit in the inning, and Brannon Champagne pinch ran but was stranded on second.
Eric Anderson took over on the bump for Mizzou in the 14th inning, and he worked around a double and a walk in the scoreless frame. The Gators struck in the 15th, taking advantage of an error, a walk and a single as a fielder's choice allowed a run to score for a 4-3 lead. Mizzou threatened with two runners in scoring position with two outs, but they were left stranded.
The Tigers' series finale against Florida will be Sunday (Apr. 21) at noon. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, follow the team on Twitter (@MUTigerBaseball) or check in to MUTigers.com.

First, I think it'd be an excellent idea for the reform cards linked to your account to be put under the page for accounts. When I click on this: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/account I would like a section containing the link to reform cards on my account to be listed somewhere there. Please feel free to vote in the poll posted.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
a lurker above
I'd also like to see this. I used to rage like whoa from time to time, until I realized it correlated with nights where I'd skipped dinner. Maybe low blood sugar or something? Anyways, I know I used to be toxic, but I never got a peep out of the tribunal. I now kinda worry that I got a warning or short ban when I wasn't playing a lot, and just didn't get the email.
Player Support Lead - Player Behavior
The idea is interesting, but would require some new tech to go live. While I can't comment on the possibility of such a feature, if you are in need of your reform card for whatever reason, Player Support will provide it for you. This assumes there is one though. Keep in mind that the system didn't start until late July 2012, so all cases before that do not have any reform cards. Also, as time goes on, old data may be purged, so very old reform cards may no longer be available. You can contact Player Support here: https://support.leagueoflegends.com/home
and there comes LittleDi White Knight of the trolls. Or so we think, while this is actually more like an evil minded plan to take even another one of the trolls excuses.
its not a bad idea. people should be able to get there cards through the web site. way to many people say they cant access there cards. this way no excuses.
Or they forget which email it's linked to.

White pear
Nostepinne with WPI gauge
The length of White Pear was a bit of a bear, due to the checking covering one side of the blank.
After removing the checking there was a bit of an odd shape left over. but after a little thought a nostepinne was the perfect solution. The WPI (wraps per inch) gauge was where the worst of the checking.
You use the shaft to wrap finished yard to get a center pull ball of yarn. The inch gap in the handle you wrap your yarn to figure out how many wraps equal an inch.

Hi Michelle: I have no clue what this is, but it is well turned and finished. Something to do with fiber arts? -- We call the destruction of replaceable human made items vandalism, while the destruction of irreplaceable natural resources is called development. |
#2 posted 04-18-2011 05:49 PM |
Added a description for those who don't know the use of a nostepinne. I forgot, I have been involved in the fiber arts for such a long time that I forget it isn't common knowledge. |

Many Allium species are native to Iran, where many tulips also originate, and the edible Alliums have been cultivated and a staple of diets for over 10,000 years.
The beauty of the small lavender flowerheads of chives have always been a decorative highlight in herb gardens. But in recent years, gardeners have become fascinated with the larger Alliums, particular the giants. As always, the Dutch hybridizers took them into their stocks, and now we have a whole group of beautiful new flowering onions for gardens. Most bloom in late spring so they bridge the gap nicely between the tulip season and early summer bloom of peonies and poppies.
Experienced gardeners plant these giant Alliums in groups of several bulbs, set very close together. The foliage is not attractive for long, so it's important to plant them next to other perennials whose foliage will more or less cover the Allium's base. This way, the wonderful flower stalks rise up and tower over the other flowers for a wonderful period of bloom.

About Me Avid Gardener
Mine looked like the 1st picture. They reminded me of fireworks, pink sparklers. I planted them in a border by my front door and everyone who saw them commented on how beautiful/unique they were. "What are those flowers?""From the onion family""Really?, Onions?"

Allium Schubertii is a real conversation piece. People are always commenting on how stunning they are. The ones I ordered were really hardy and grow beautiful and large every year.
These are fantastic.
By carjam
from Cincinnati, Ohio
These are sooo cool. They draw attention all the time from passing neighbors who can't imagine what they are. The blooms grow to be about 18" in diameter and are spikey with a delicate lavender flower at the end of each spike. We think they look like a flowery satellite. They will go brown and gradually become brittle after they bloom but we leave them in the ground through the winter because they look so cool even after they bloom.

@Rhaknar: I'm on NG+++ on my sorcerer and I need to dedicate 4 attunement slots just for dark bead. The best catalyst halves the uses :/
weird. Im usually not a big fan of "gaming" systems like that, reminds me of vanilla wow and downgrading heal spells... just never seems like thats the way it was intended if you know what I mean. Or Im just crazy.
Anyway, after buying 2 more magic arrow types (bought all from the sorceror dude you save except the 8k one which I cant afford) it already feels better, using the shittier magic arrow for shittier enemies, the stronger ones for the big fuckers and whatnot. Should I work on getting more attunement slots before dumping into int? that seems like something I should do, I have 4 at the moment.
Also, even if the magic scaling isnt the best, Im liking the tin banishment catalyst, as it works as a spear basically with the strong attack, and I dont have to switch weapons to a sword for example If I want to melee.

This petition is for the government of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I think that they should provide free recycling bins maybe near the post offices or major places like Kroger so that people are more tempted to recycle. Recycling is very important because it helps the environment and it will pay off one day for us. After all, we don't want things to end up like they did in the movie Wall-E.

Camera protection: back plate is elevated to protect the camera
Screen protector compatibility: works with all screen protectors ( iloom etc. )
Audio jack: bigger hole cut out to fit larger connector types
Back plate: well designed, perfect fit thin polycarbonate see-through plate. This eliminates issues such as:
Wireless charging: all wireless charging functionality works
GPS: all GPS functionality works as normal
NFC: all NFC functionality works as normal.
Material: high quality aluminium
Thickness: adds 1.1mm to the case
Color quality: the aluminium is sandblasted, and the colors are produced by chemically dying the metal – the colors will not fade out, and the coating is anti-scratch
Install instructions review:

Hi I have a housing consulta.¿podria ask my liking? I gusraria frame in black and silver back
I want to get the Gray Kommandant case for the nexus 5, but i dont see a option to change the color… What do I do?
Is it possible to assembly the cover WITHOUT the rear polycarbonate piece?
I would like N5 back clear…
Is it possible to NOT use the rear polycarbonate?
I'm asking because I like the back of N5 clear.
I love this case. I recommend it for people that what that rigid build
i'm assuming these come with the screwdriver lol
looks like an great case only wish i have an nexus 5
Does the case say kommandant on it like the nexus 4 case?
I want to know, is thid aluminum brushed and anodized? How easily scratch black painted aluminum? Is plastic back side scratch easily?
This looks like a stunning case! I was actually look and this other company called Draco which has some mad exoskeleton like designs for the 5s bu not for nexus. This was the closest case I could find to the Dreco so I really do hope it is worth the number on the price tag.
I genuinely like this case. It looks and feels great. I've been using this for about 2 months. My main issue with the case is the fit of the backing to the outer shell. I don't know if they are all like mine, but mine is a little off. At the top of the shell, there is a slight gap between the two that causes the backing plate to move. Because of this, there is now a slight ticking noise when I hold it. It has moved down the side of the case on the case as well. I have tried re-casing it and it doesn't help. Nice case, maybe I just got one that is a tad off.
I dont like this case for the lg
Nice fit. Due to the Thickness it keeps the phone well protected.

The Mars Telecommunications Orbiter was a cancelled Mars mission that was originally intended to launch in 2009 and would have established an Interplanetary Internet between Earth and Mars. The spacecraft would have arrived in a high orbit above Mars in 2010 and relayed data packets to Earth from a variety of Mars landers and orbiters for as long as ten years, at an extremely high data rate. Such a dedicated communications satellite was thought to be necessary due to the vast quantity of scientific information to be sent to Earth by such landers as the Mars Science Laboratory.
However, on July 21, 2005, it was announced that MTO had been canceled due to the need to support other short-term goals, including a Hubble servicing mission, Mars Exploration Rover extended mission operations, launch Mars Science Laboratory in 2009, and to save Earth science mission Glory from cancellation[1]
Data transfer technology[edit]
The Mars Telecommunications Orbiter was a project to demonstrate optical communications using laser, instead of usual radiowaves. "Lasercom sends information using beams of light and optical elements, such as telescopes and optical amplifiers, rather than RF signals, amplifiers, and antennas" [2]
Proposed successors[edit]
After the cancellation, a broader mission was proposed as the Mars Science and Telecommunications Orbiter.[3] However, this mission was soon criticized as lacking well-defined parameters and objectives.[4] Another mission has since been proposed as the 2013 Mars Science Orbiter. The communications capability provided by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Express science missions has proven substantial, demonstrating that dedicated relay satellites may be unnecessary in the near future. The newest Mars telecomm orbiter is the MAVEN, which arrived at Mars on September 21, 2014 with an Electra transceiver.
LADEE (Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer) includes the Lunar Laser Communications Demonstration,[5] and Laser Communications Relay Demonstration plans to test laser communications from Earth orbit.[6]
