This is a fashion video I did with my friend Mario Ilic presenting Iridium Clothing leather jacket and the boots from Jessica Buurman. The standout pieces like the jacket, shoes and this backpack make an all black outfit like this a bit more interesting. I really enjoy presenting my outfits in this way and I hope to make a lot more videos like this in the future.

Last year I did some modeling for a great Bosnian designer Milan Senic. Milan is best known for his interesting interpretations and redesigns of the basic wardrobe pieces like these shirts. His design is an exploration of the form and something I personally love to wear. This collection is called "SPLIT" and it is accompanied by a fashion video that was included in the official selection of Miami Fashion film festival and Aesthetica Short film festival London. You can see the rest of the shirts and photos on milansenic.com. The reason I'm posting this just now is the fact that I've been preoccupied with some other stuff ( mainly my work on F.B.L magazine ) so I didn't get to post much lately but I promise to get back to regular posting from now on.

Here is an outfit ,or a variation of an outfit, I wear a lot lately. I have been really busy past few months so I need something that is comfy but still presentable where I work and black and white combo is something you can never go wrong with. This outfit is rather simple and classic but as I always said..the details are what matters. The zips on this sweater from Jessica Buurman really make it special. But my favorite item in this outfit is this clutch bag with embossed pistol on it. Don't you think is perfect ?

I am always happy when I have the opportunity to present to you some new designer names , especially if the are Bosnian. The coat and the oversized clutch bag (can be also worn as backpack) in this outfit are designed by a young and promising Marko from Feher design . Remember that name because I am sure he will do something big in the future. Beside his great items I decided to include this great Gram shoes with chain print in this outfit just to add some pattern and make it a bit more interesting.

Wii U
Nintendo has to be planning a new Metroid game.
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Since Nintendo Land was announced, I've had a feeling that Nintendo was using it to try to build familiarity with its IP. People are introduced to the ideas of each series before a retail game arrives. Each mini game showcases a different idea for the system, but also shows off a series. Any of these games could have easily starred Miis without losing anything at all, but Nintendo chose to show certain series for some reason. I have a hunch that they are testing the waters for future releases.
Think about it:
2D and 3D Mario games coming soon and Mario Chase
2 Zelda games coming out and Zelda Battle Quest
These two were given and were going to be released anyways.
However, these titles are probably unfamiliar to the average consumer and this serves as an
excellent way to introduce the ideas.
Pikmin 3 is coming out and it was included in Nintendo Land in a way that got the point across.
Luigi's Mansion is coming out for 3DS so they introduced it in Nintendo Land.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Sweet Day.
There is a character connection between the Yoshi minigame and the Yoshi yarn game coming out.
Metroid is a damaged brand. Other M was a failure as far as what it should have been. People complained about virtually every aspect of the game. As such, people may be hesitant to buy another Metroid game after that release. It seems to me that Nintendo is trying to repair the brand. The Metroid minigame on Nintendo Land was proclaimed even in the game to be a hard core experience. The game play was that of a shooter. It even featured a pvp mode. Now, they are offering Super Metroid for 30 cents in May. It seems to me, that they are preparing the series for a new title that will be made to appeal to the "core" audience, and they are attempting to prepare for it with these releases.
If Nintendo Land is a roadmap for future releases, then think of what we can expect: A new Donkey Kong, a new F-Zero, the possibility of re-launching that Ninja series.
The only games that this would not apply to would be the Game and Watch (unless there is an obscure connection to Game and Wario) game and the Balloon Trip game.
I actually expect Retro's new game to be a different take on Metroid. I'm expecting them to totally go outside the box with it and I have a feeling that they will try to push it as an online experience....just so many things have been hinting towards that in my opinion.
Retro Studios is doing Metroid, F-Zero and DKC4 this gen.
Book it ladies and gentlemen.

CloudStrife630 posted...Retro Studios is doing Metroid, F-Zero and DKC4 this gen.
I know Camelot mentioned doing a sequel to DK64 which I think would relieve RS from doing a new DK game.
I can see Retro doing a new Metroid and F-Zero for the Wii U while they make a new DK game for the 3DS.
Metroid isnt really a hot seller. MP3 only sold about 1.5 mil on the Wii worldwide. Halo for example triples that in preorders alone.
Metroid I think is just a side thing for them, for their long time fans. It's not really a huge priority. If these games were selling like Mario and Zelda we would see more of them.
Think about how much time and money is required to make a really great Metroid game. And if the result of that is going to be 1.5 mil total, its easy to understand why it isnt a huge priority for them. They only have so many people to make games and Nintendo like any other company runs on a budget.
They were in nasty financial shape for a long time and I think they still are. Recently they were in their worst shape since the 80s because the Wii wasnt selling anymore, they were developing the U, the 3DS wasnt selling very well either.
WiiU | CygnusZero ///// 3DS | 1504-5688-7256
PS3 | CygnusZero
Who knows really! Retro has been fairly quiet for a long time and I think it's a fair guess to say that they have been working on their project/projects for a long time as well.
I have a feeling Retro will shock the gaming world with their new game/games at E3 and have it available before the end of this year. It would make sense in my opinion. I think that is how Nintendo may be planning on going head on with the competition. We'll see.
Tbh, I noticed this too. Will give you credit if this happens, TC.

Retro said something recently about them working on something everyone wants them to work on. I remember that correctly, right?
Well, the only thing they are truly known for is Metroid Prime, not Donkey Kong, so this tells me they could be working on a Metroid game.
Something that I think would be very interesting is a Prime version of Super Metroid. For some reason I think a lot of people would want that.

That would be great actually. What if they just totally remade the whole series and then continued on from Fusion?? I doubt it would ever happen but it would definitely allow for more gamers to get into the arc of the storyline; feels like Metroid is all over the place. Perhaps what I'm aiming for here is a total reboot...

Price: Varies
Shipping Medium: Only available as a Boxed version.
Rating: 4/5
Well, this game has amazing Graphics, and the environment is amazing. This game is one of those games that has to be played in the dark, no lights, and the volume cranked up. Basically, your a marine on the planet Mars then suddenly, everything goes bad, and 98% of the people get turned into some sort of zombie.
The single player is pretty much the "game". The multiplayer is really crappy right know, i assume that there will be many mods in the near future. But for know, Single player is the only way to go.
This game is Scary as hell at times, makes you jump, Zombies crawl out holes, dark corners, sometimes you hear a little girls voice say things in this freaky voice like "Follow me", "I am behind you" and there's no one there.
All in all, this is a GREAT single Player game, but if you want to play Multiplayer, you will be disappointed.
Overall, not a bad game at all (has a spooky environment like AVP2 (aliens vs Predators) you never know when an alien will pop up).

The Assam government has beefed up security for trains, the track and other rail properties, oil pipelines and other vital installations across the State following specific intelligence that the Paresh-Barua-led faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom is planning to target them in a big way. The decision was taken at an urgent security review meeting here on Thursday, Home Secretary G.D. Tripathi told The Hindu.
"There were some specific inputs — both technical intelligence and inputs gathered from the interrogation of some apprehended ULFA cadres.
The meeting decided to deploy additional forces, ensure 24x7 patrolling and carry out thorough checking of vehicles.
The Strategy Group of the Unified Command Structure would meet on September 17 for a follow-up and to evolve a strategy to curb the insurgent activities of the ULFA faction, Mr. Tripathi said.
Chief Security Commissioner of the Northeast Frontier Railway Shahid Ahmed, Additional Director General of Police (Special Branch) Khagen Sarma, Inspector General (Law and Order) L.R. Bishnoi and senior officials of the Home Department, Oil India and Indian Oil Corporation were present at the meeting.

Into the Abyss may be the saddest film Werner Herzog has ever made. It regards a group of miserable lives, and in finding a few faint glimmers of hope only underlines the sadness.
It gives ample play to all sides of the argument. Herzog allows us to think things through on our own.
Nov 9, 2011Into the Abyss, which bears the subtitle "A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life," reveals itself to be an outlandish, compassionate and, at times, improbably buoyant film about life's capacity for grief and horror and about how it bubbles on miraculously in the face of such things. It's the best thing Herzog's done in years.
The overriding point of Into the Abyss, what keeps this sad, sorrowful film from becoming depressing and elevates it far above the usual chatter of liberal-conservative debate, is that there can be light on the other end of even the darkest of tunnels.
Into the Abyss is a true-crime drama, to be sure, but in Herzog's hands it becomes something much more: an inquiry into fundamental moral, philosophical, and religious issues, and an examination of humankind's capacity for violence - individual and institutional.
Werner Herzog looks at the death penalty in Into the Abyss, and as is almost always the case, to look through his eyes is to marvel.
What Herzog almost accidentally captures in his viewfinder is profound and unsettling: an entire American underclass where at least some prison time is the norm and where only luck and the grace of God keep a person from either wrong end of the shotgun.
Underlying the occasionally harrowing, consistently mournful tone is a philosophy that, more than being explicitly anti-capital punishment, puts both family ties and the social contract at the center of people's self-worth.
His film powerfully suggests that violent death of any kind, whether personal or state-mandated, transforms everyone in its vicinity.

But it is important to keep in mind that this isn't The Thin Blue Line, and instead of turning this documentary into some kind of television crime drama, Herzog simply explores the crime, and the minds of those involved and affected by it.

Apr 21, 2012Interesting and sad, but not very thorough. Is it just me, or does Herzog never challenge either of the convicted killers on their versionsInteresting and sad, but not very thorough. Is it just me, or does Herzog never challenge either of the convicted killers on their versions of the story, which is that they didn't kill these people? It feels like he avoided the issue and just let them tell their story, and let everyone else tell their story, and left it for us to figure out. But the big payoff that never occurs is that these two convicted murderers are never forced to face the ugly thing they did. If Herzog is taking the stance that they were innocent, then he should have pushed harder against the authorities. But he doesn't do that either. The effect is just a huge letdown of a movie, where we hear account after account of a needlessly brutal crime occurring, and being bragged about. And then we see the alleged perpetrators claim they didn't do it. The real question of this movie: 'why would they commit these terrible acts to steal a car?' - is never even posed to either of the two people convicted. This seems to me to be too laid back an approach for a story that begs for larger answers.… Full Review »
Nov 29, 2011I really did not get much why out of this film than I would from a television show. . Why did they kill? Stupid? Why death in one case andI really did not get much why out of this film than I would from a television show. . Why did they kill? Stupid? Why death in one case and life in the other? Money/jurors? Maybe it is all unexplainable. I did not think Herzog delved into any of it enough to offer a case or documentary with a passion. The most interesting part was the death row groupie but even there the ball was dropped. She was obviously as nutty as the murderers but why. Again, no real insight. Don't go out of your way to see it.… Full Review »

The field staff of Northern Power Distribution Company Limited (NPDCL) used to fear to enter into villages until recently, as they were either locked up in a school or chased away by the villagers enraged by erratic power supply. Now, the staff was confidently walking into these village , thanks to 'Rythu Mithra' programme launched by the Corporation in January.
The programme envisages replacement of defunct transformer within 48 hours to 72 hours without putting any cost to the farmer.
Methuku Somaiah of Koduru village in Raghunathpally mandal said , they called up a number given by the NPDCL to complain about the damaged transformer. "We called up around 9 a.m. Though we were told that it will be replaced in two days, surprisingly we got another transformer by 5 p.m. on the same day.
Another farmer Gudu Satyanarayana explained that usually they all pool up money, hire a tractor and take the damaged transformer to Jangaon or Cheriyal for any repairs, which used to take about a week or ten days depending on the queue there, and generally the repairs used to cost them Rs.10,000.
Kagitha Raju of Meedikonda village in Station Ghanpur mandal said the transformer in their village was replaced in 23 hours from the time of complaint. "It usually takes at least ten days. For the first time, we got it in a day," he said.
Speaking to The Hindu, Superintendent Engineer (NPDCL) V. Mohan Rao said "Replacing a transformer with a complaint over the phone was something which was unheard of in the past. Now we feel proud of our organisation. We are looked up with great respect by the villagers now."
Chairman and Managing Director Karthikeya Misra, who was behind the success of the programme told the The Hindu that the farmers were facing problems with hired vehicles and the cost involved in transportation and repair of transformers.
Of the complaints about defunct transformers, around 47 per cent were addressed within 24 hours and the remaining 92 per cent were addressed in 48 hours, he added.

Phil Hughes is in the Best Shape of His Life
Jan 30, 2012, 9:53 AM EDT
Back in November we had our first Best Shape of His Life post of the offseason. It wasn't a true BSOHL post, just some foreshadowing, as we learned that Yankees pitcher Phil Hughes was going to be in the BSOHL.
But now we have sweet, sweet closure! From Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York:
The Yankees have sent personnel to see Hughes in California this winter and, while they didn't ask Hughes to strip down to check out what type of shape he is in, the reports are that he looks "great."
It's not total closure yet. That comes when all the reporters get to spring training in a few weeks and talk about how so-and-so "looks great" on a first-hand basis, not via word-of-mouth. If that happens with Hughes — and it will, because that's how the Yankees' press corps rolls — we will have what I think is first-ever BSOHL trifecta. So yes, I'm excited.

Was there ever any doubt? I think he realized last years "lack" of a conditioning program cost him dearly. This year with the added compitition for a starting job he realized well in advance he had to do something. Now let's all hope (or at least all Yankees fans) that it pays off once spring training and then the regular season starts. We'll see.
- yankeesfanlen - Jan 30, 2012 at 10:24 AM
I really wonder which of our 7 starters WON'T be in the BSOHL. AJ might be and still can't pitch.
- unclemosesgreen - Jan 30, 2012 at 10:29 AM
CC will definitely show up in the LRSOHL. What's that you say? Why it's the Largest Round Shape Of His Life, of course. And he manages to pump the beachball a little fuller every season, so he's perenially Team Captain on the LRSOHL List.
- uyf1950 - Jan 30, 2012 at 10:33 AM

Yanks spring training camp is gonna be nuts. CC, Pineda, Nova, Kuroda all on lock, seriously, wtf is gonna happen between $16M AJ, Freddy, and the apparently first-half of 2010 Hughes?
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Jan 30, 2012 at 1:05 PM
If all of these guys are still with the Yankees when the season starts, my guess is that Nova spends some time at AAA while they work it out. He is not so much better than the other options to make it worth dropping anyone for no return, thereby sacrificing the teams depth. SP depth is a valuable thing in itself.
- djpostl - Jan 30, 2012 at 3:02 PM
lol…wrong. Nova is in the rotation regardless. They can try to move AJ (good luck), would find it easier to move Freddy (don't know if they will) and can easily move Hughes back into the pen (where he might belong anyways).
- bigharold - Jan 30, 2012 at 3:51 PM
I think Hughes has one option left. If so, he might well be the guy starting in AAA. At this point it's time to push the issue with him to see if he is ever going to become the they thought he'd be.
Otherwise it might be Nova just because of his flexibility.
- basedrum777 - Jan 30, 2012 at 6:12 PM
Just a small note: Phil Hughes is 25. If he's already "not what they expected" then I'm giving up on baseball.
- uyf1950 - Jan 30, 2012 at 3:09 PM
If Hughes gives the Yankees something close to what he gave them the 1st half of the 2010 when he was for the most part lights out. They will park AJ Burnett in a "No Parking Zone" and wait until he gets towed away. Either that or he will get "mop up" duty.
- bigharold - Jan 30, 2012 at 3:55 PM
While parking Burnett might well be in the best interest short term if they do there is no way they can ever trade him no matter how much of his salary they are willing to eat. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Burnett shows just enough in SP to get him his rotation spot.
He'd have to be pretty bad for them to just let him sit and watch 30+ mil go away.
- uyf1950 - Jan 30, 2012 at 4:10 PM
I'm not sure letting him sit a good portion of the time or letting him be the 5th man in a rotation is going to make that much difference in his trade value.
I think and it's obviously just my opinion that most GM's pretty much know what they get with AJ. In any case it won't be long before we find out. See I think the Yankees move him by the tradedeadline regardless if not sooner. They eat what they have to and maybe get something small back in return.
I think were there is smoke there is fire and there has just been to much talk surrounding AJ and the Yankees interest in moving him.
- basedrum777 - Jan 30, 2012 at 6:14 PM
If the Yanx paid most of his salary why would a team like the Marlins not take a flyer on Aj?

Stan Kasten spoke next and probably said some notable things, too. But, to be honest, we stopped listening the moment he mentioned "extending the Dodger brand," the baseball team's president attempting to make the most unique NHL game ever in Southern California as interesting as a marketing seminar.
"It's going to be a game unlike any game I've played in, and that goes for a lot of the guys," Penner said. "I think everyone is going to remember where they were when the Kings played the Ducks in the outdoor game.
"The venue will be bigger than the game itself. Obviously, they're giving out two points for it, but hopefully it's stressed to the players involved to take it in. It's not like this going to happen every year. My mom and dad better take a lot of pictures. Hopefully, they'll serve Dodger Dogs."
Penner said he could see himself smearing black on his cheek bones, like a ballplayer, even though the game is scheduled to be played at night.
That would be an interesting twist, the sport that most advances the black eye promoting the eye black.
If two teams with home arenas separated by only 30 miles need more proximity, the Ducks' and Kings' outdoor game will be their second meeting in three days. They also play each other Jan. 23, under the Honda Center sky.
That will chill the mood a little more, which should help solidify the ice surface.
Still, Penner said something about the participants wearing beach attire, but he was only kidding. Good thing. The images from this one don't need to include Boudreau in a Speedo.
"The last thing you're going to see me in is a bathing suit," the Ducks coach confirmed. "Remember, we want TV viewers."

The range still worked and the broiler still worked. I noticed that the ignitor for the broiler turned on and glowed a short time after starting the broiler. I dissembled the floor of the oven (just two screws) and tried the same for the oven, but the ignitor did not start or glow. I ordered the part. It was sent withing two days. It was easy to replace and the oven has worked well since. I recommend ordering the attachment fixture as well, in that taking apart the one that held the old ignitor immediately stripped a screw and I ended up bending the fixture and having to reshape it (the small extra cost will be very well worthwhile!)

May the weapons of war rust in peace. Seven days without laughter make one weak. Welcome to the wonderful world of puns.
A PUN is a joke exploiting the different meanings of a word or the fact that there are words of the same sound and different meanings. (Concise Oxford English Dictionary)
A famous pun in fiction is from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written in 1865 by Lewis Carroll:
"And how many hours a day did you do lessons?" said Alice, in a hurry to change the subject.
"Ten hours the first day," said the Mock Turtle: "nine the next, and so on."
"What a curious plan!" exclaimed Alice.
"That's the reason they're called lessons," the Gryphon remarked: "because they lessen from day to day."
My favourite punny quotations include the following:
The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he's a baby. (Natalie Wood)
Seven days without laughter make one weak. (Joel Goodman)
Hanging is too good for a man who makes puns; he should be drawn and quoted. (Fred Allen)
May the weapons of war rust in peace. (Robert Orben)
I'm a great housekeeper. I get divorced. I keep the house. (Zsa Zsa Gabor)
A bad joke is like a bad egg, all the worse for being cracked. (Josh Billings)
A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours. (Milton Berle)
Nostalgia is living life in the past lane. (Author Unknown)
The heart patient refused the transplant, saying he'd already had a change of heart. (George Carlin)
Homographic puns make use of multiple meanings from a single word. Examples:
A blind man picked up a hammer and saw.
The motorist says to the cop, "Why can't I park my car here? The sign says 'Fine for Parking'!"
Homophonic puns make use of words that have the same pronunciations but different meanings and spellings. Examples:
Having worked in the hotel for twelve years, she is quite inn experienced.
The angry teacher says to the lazy student, "If you can't answer this simple question, get out of my class. I want to see you know more."
Other examples of homophones are buy and bye, hole and whole, bare and bear, fair and fare, pain and pane, weak and week, waist and waste, sail and sale, mail and male, and knead and need.
Related to homophonic puns are those that sound only slightly alike. Examples:
"Venice the next gondola?"
"I bought these bottled fruit drinks juice for the two of us."
"Fused" puns are rather ingenious. We take parts of two words and combine them to form a manufactured word that usually reflects the meanings of the two original words. Examples:
The early start of the cold season has winterrupted our plans for the new project.
I drink a glass of my flavourite fruit juice every day.
Tom Swifties are adverbial puns. Examples:
"I buried the dead dog in the garden," he said gravely.
"You shouldn't have made six cups of tea from just one sachet," he said weakly.
> The writer is an inveterate punster. Whenever he wants to write wordplay, he jest puts pun to paper.

Another week, another eight-hour flight, another race track. Sepang comes as the last of three grueling weekends chasing around the Pacific Ocean to race in Japan, Australia, and now Malaysia.
Even from the comfort of my European home (I lack the funds and, to a lesser extent, the inclination to pursue the paddock halfway around the world), it has been a tough schedule, and the riders and team members I have spoken to about it are all just about ready to come home.
Nearly a month away from home, sharing flights, hire cars and hotel rooms can be grating even for the best of friends. Add in the stresses and tensions of Grand Prix motorcycle racing, and a lot of people are gritting their teeth and doing their best not to punch the people they work with. Some will even make it home without doing so.
The final leg of MotoGP's odyssey sees the circus travel from Phillip Island, nearly halfway to the South Pole, to Sepang, not far north of the equator. Yet though they are a quarter of a world away, the two have one thing in common: weather.
The actual conditions may be different, the cold, changeable climate of Phillip Island a far cry from the sweltering heat of Malaysia, but at both tracks, the weather plays a much greater role in the proceedings than at other tracks. Judging conditions, and preparing for them, is crucial.

Government sources said the deputy chief of mission in the Indian embassy in Washington, Arun K Singh, took up the issue with Robert Blake, assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian Affairs, on Monday itself.
India has written to NBC, the TV network that hosts Leno's show. "This is completely unacceptable," said visiting overseas Indians affairs minister Vyalar Ravi on Sunday.
Ravi termed the gag by The Tonight Show host as objectionable and said the Indian embassy in Washington would raise the issue. "The Golden Temple is the Sikh community's most sacred place. Even our prime minister went there to pray in the New Year. I believe the person involved is not that ignorant," he said.
The US state department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the US had not communicated with India on the issue but that the US Constitution strictly protected freedom of speech.
"I hope (Leno will) be appreciative if we make the point that his comments are constitutionally protected in the US under free speech and, frankly, they appeared to be satirical in nature," Nuland said.

Wednesday October 10, 2007
By JANE RITIKOS
BAIKONUR (Kazakhstan): At exactly 9.23pm (Malaysian time), the Soyuz -FG rocket launcher blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
The rocket launcher, carrying the Soyuz TMA-II spacecraft with Malaysian cosmonaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor and his crew members on board, lit up the clear night sky.
Witnesses to the event from the launch view, three kilometres away from the launch pad, felt the ground shake from the enormous thrust of the launcher.
VIPs and guests who witnessed the launch included Dr Sheikh Muszaphar's proud parents Datuk Sheikh Mustapha Shukor and Datin Zuraida Sheikh Ahmad.
Dr Sheikh Muszaphar, Nasa's commander Peggy Whitson - the first female International Space Station (ISS) commander - and Russian Yuri Malechencko comprise Expedition 16S, which will make a trip to the ISS and return on Oct 21.
Some two hours before the launch, all communication systems (telephone lines, mobile telephone lines and TV) were cut off in Baikonur to block the airwaves and ensure contact with the crew was not disrupted in any way. A blackout was also experienced as the power supply was drained by the launch.
During the launch, road and rail traffic were also halted as a safety measure.
The crews' big day began when they walked out of the Cosmonaut Hotel, which is not a guest hotel but actually a branch of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre where they were quarantined.
They boarded a bus that took them to the launch pad, seven hours prior to the launch.
On the bus, they watched a 10-minute video of their friends and families wishing them bon voyage.
The bus stopped midway for a ritual that has been performed by cosmonauts since the time of Yuri Gagarin – the male crew urinated on the bus tyres.
At the launch pad, they made their "last walk", which was the last chance for family members and people to see them from a distance at the Cosmodrome.
The three put on their custom-made Sukol space suit before they went through a formal military ceremony and shook hands with important guests, including the Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Russian Federal Space Agency chief Perminov Anatoli Nikolaevich, Kazakh Space Agency chief Musabaev Talgat Amangeldievish and Malaysian Ambassador to Russia Datuk Mohamad Khalis Ali Hassan.
About four hours to the launch, the crew were hoisted to the capsule using an elevator. They were strapped to their seats and went through system checks.
Forty-five minutes to the launch, the rocket's service gantry was removed, the flight programme loaded and the crews' space suits were checked for air tightness.
Unlike a shuttle launch, the Soyuz rocket launch has no countdown - blast off occurs when everything is in place and set to go.
The rocket's four lateral boosters were started 29 seconds to launch. Then it was blast off, during which the gravity pull was 4G.
The rocket shot up at a speed of 800km per second to reach orbit in two minutes.
Two minutes into launch, the four lateral boosters were jettisoned, and the gravity pull was reduced to 1.5G.
When the core stage engine fired at full thrust, gravity force climbed to 3G.
Third-stage separation occurred at 8.48 seconds into launch, when the space capsule was fully separated.
It took about nine minutes for Soyuz to enter zero gravity, after which it will orbit the earth for two days before docking with the ISS, a process that will take two to three hours.
Prior to docking, the cosmonauts will be strapped to their seats the entire time.
Once in orbit, the mission will be taken over by the Mission Control Centre in Moscow.

These Jennifer Ellison bikini pictures clearly show that the Brit babe is very pregnant, and while that's not really what we consider newsworthy here on Egotastic!, the fact that her boobs have gotten even bigger is! I didn't even think it was possible, and coupled with the baby on the same side, it's even a wonder she's able to stand up straight. You know, I'm pretty sure that making breasts get bigger is nature's way of making sure the guy sticks around for the whole thing. Nature's pretty sneaky like that.
Jennifer Ellison
Jennifer Ellison Pregnant Bikini Pictures
Jennifer Ellison is So Hot It's Nuts
Yes, I totally used the exact same title for my last post featuring Jennifer Ellison in Nuts magazine, but what the hell else are you gonna use for a title featuring pictures of ridiculously hot pictures of Jennifer Ellison in a magazine as aptly named as Nuts? Anyway, point is, boobs.
Jennifer Ellison is So Hot It's Nuts
Never has a magazine been so appropriately named as Nuts magazine. Because the fact that they can get pictures like these of Jennifer Ellison is, yes, nuts. And Jennifer Ellison is so hot it's nuts. And honestly, the fact my job involves writing about this stuff is also pretty nuts. Yeah, things could be worse.
These Jennifer Ellison Topless Bikini Pictures are Totally Staged and Totally Hot
So you see these Jennifer Ellison topless bikini pictures? Well, they're fake. Okay, not fake, really. That is Jennifer Ellison, and she is topless, but these pictures have been totally staged to make it seem as though se was caught in some scandalous behaviour, without actually showing anything. I mean, if she was actually running around topless in the sun with only her boyfriend around, while basically having sex with him, as some of these pictures imply, wouldn't we at least see a little bit of nipple?
Now don't get me wrong. I don't really care that these photos were staged. After all, every magazine photoshoot is by definition staged, and Jennifer is showing off more here than she ever has before. It's just a little insulting to believe that they don't think we can tell the difference.
At the end of the day, though, it's boobs in a bikini, and not in a bikini, so it all works out.
Jennifer Ellison Is Loaded (with Cleavage)
I can't quite believe this, but this is the first post on British actress / hottie, Jennifer Ellison, that has ever been posted on Egotastic! Crazy, right? What's really crazy Jennifer Ellison's body. It's quite something, wouldn't you say. I would, and since I'm the one saying it, that's all that really matters. Point is, these pictures from Loaded magazine are hot, and so is she, and if we get more pictures of Jennifer Ellison in her underwear, you can be sure we'll be seeing more of her in the future.

In Motion 4 Essential Training, Ian Robinson shows how to start building outstanding motion graphics and animations for video production. He demonstrates how to build custom text animations with the new Adjust Glyph tool and explores Motion's amazing real-time 3D tools. Ian highlights working in the 3D space, creating depth with lights and shadows, and using reflections to add realism. He gives practical advice on how to integrate Motion into a professional video workflow, round-tripping with Final Cut Pro and sending a final project to Compressor. Exercise files accompany this course.
When it comes to exporting from Motion there are quite a few options. If you go up to the File menu, first you will notice there are two export options. This is really nice, because I can either export the entire project, or if I selected individual layers in the projects, I can just export the Selection. Right now let's just choose Export. You will notice your typical file browser pops up. Go and navigate to the folder where you would like to export your file. Once you have chosen the folder, make sure to name your file in this top window.
Now let's go down to the bottom, and go through the pop-up menus. Under Export by default Motion will export to a QuickTime Movie. You could also export an Image Sequence, or just one individual frame. No matter which one of these options you choose, you'll still have options in the Options button. So let's select that. This is where you can actually override some of the settings in your project. For example, in the Output tab I can deselect Use current project and canvas events, change the Resolution, change the Color settings, whether I want an alpha or not.
You can even change the Frame Rate, although I don't recommend it. Turn off and on your Lighting, Shadows, Reflections, Depth of Field. You get the general idea. This is where you override all the canvas settings in your project. Then once you have actually set all those up, if you want to use those settings again, all you have to do is rename and click the Save As button, and you'll always have another option in the pulldown menu. We will go more in depth in that in the next video, but for now let's go to the Video/Audio. Notice here we can also change from QuickTime movie, Image Sequence or Still Image, and you can actually change the Compressor, which is commonly known as the codec.
This is how the file is compressed and decompressed. Typically, if you are trying to export a motion graphic for use in other projects, you'll want to choose either one of the Apple ProRes codecs, and Uncompressed codec or if you are ever in doubt, scroll all the way up to the top and choose Animation. Let's go ahead and cancel out of this window. Notice under the Use section, this is another place where you can specify exactly what codec you would like to use. The last two pop-up menus will let you specify whether you want Video Only or Video and Audio or Audio Only.
Now if you don't have any audio in your project, you won't see these other two options. They will be grayed out. The Export command even controls some other options after Export. For example, you can import media right back into the project. If you click Add to Media, it will import it back into your Motion project under the Media tab, but you won't see it in the canvas, or you could just choose Do nothing. By default it will open the file once it's done, so you can scroll through it in whatever format it was setup, Still Image, QuickTime or whatever.
The last option at the bottom is Use play range. If you want to export just a specific section of your project, change the play range and make sure this checkbox is selected. When all set and done, click the Export button and you are off to the races.

Re: Could Ali handle the size of a Lewis?
For a guy who fought his first 5 or 6 years below 240lbs, I'm saying it would be pretty stupid to think that he'd fight at 245 in a very different era
You never mentioned that before. You're post read ( and the agenda was pretty clear ) that if Lewis was fighting in Ali's era that you were fairly certain he'd be less than 245 lbs. You never commented on the segmentation of his career, and frankly I think we both know that his prime came later when incidentally, he was a bit larger than 230. Hence it came off as though you were trying to morph Lewis into someone that he wasn't. Kinda similar to arguments which harbor that if Rocky Marciano were fighting in the 90's he'd be larger than 185 lbs. Certainly a possibility but not a given.
However, it had nothing to do with how would a fantasy matchup between Ali and Lewis look like. So you didn't get my point after commenting about it three times.
I think I retorted your
wording quite well.
The original question was: "
Could Ali handle the size of Lewis
?" I posted a few examples of guys who were comparable to Lewis' in terms of size, and who Ali boxed against managing to handle their size pretty well.
Which I then pointed out were dissimilar to Lewis in just about every other way, and were still Lewis's lesser in size in size.
Again, you missed my point.
Which is?

Signs becoming huge along with the outcry
Billboard critics say L.A. is being taken over
LOS ANGELES David Allan works in advertising – literally. The six-story building where the chiropractor works is draped in it.
"It's awful, it's ridiculous," he said of the massive vinyl banner promoting TV shrink Dr. Phil McGraw that obscures his view of the scenic Santa Monica Mountains.
Such supergraphics and digital signs are among the new generation of public ads infuriating critics across the country who say the "billboard blight" distracts drivers, hurts the look of streets and could hinder access by rescue crews.
Kevin Fry, president of the Washington-based anti-billboard group Scenic America, said Los Angeles has the worst billboard problem in the country.
The proliferation has prompted officials to impose a moratorium on new ads as the city considers new regulations aimed at reducing the number of billboards, limiting their size and increasing penalties against those who flout the rules. Past efforts largely collapsed after court challenges by the billboard industry.
The new regulations would also ban digital billboards in most parts of the city.
"The billboard industry in the city is clearly out of control," said Planning Commission member Mike Woo, who teaches urban planning at the University of Southern California.
"It's like junk mail or junk phone calls, except this is changing the public environment in very visible ways," Woo said.
The Planning Commission postponed a decision on the new rules yesterday.
Advertisers argue that new billboard technologies help businesses reach consumers and insist that safety fears are exaggerated. They stress that courts have repeatedly sided with their right to advertise.
"As far as any kind of health and safety issues are concerned, that's a ruse by the city" to circumvent the court rulings, said Barry Rush, managing partner of World Wide Rush, the firm behind the Dr. Phil ad.
"The last thing I'd ever want to do is endanger somebody," Rush said.
The spread of billboards also has sparked increasingly vocal opposition in cities such as Cleveland, San Antonio and Omaha, Neb. Community groups in New York are objecting as outdoor ads spread deeper into Manhattan from Times Square.
Thus far in San Diego, it hasn't become an issue of public debate. "There doesn't seem to be a huge proliferation of these signs in San Diego," said Darren Pudgil, a spokesman for Mayor Jerry Sanders. "We haven't heard any type of public outcry that these signs be banned."
In Los Angeles, opponents point to a four-story office building in West Los Angeles draped with an ad for the film "Watchmen" and a provocative series of ads for American Apparel in residential Echo Park as some of the most disruptive billboards.
They note that enforcement has traditionally been lax and attitudes toward ads have been permissive in the city where the Hollywood sign was erected decades ago as a way to promote a housing tract.
The most recent round of billboard opposition crystalized two years ago when major outdoor advertising companies reached a series of court settlements with the city that activists viewed as a giveaway to the billboard industry.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
WatchGuard Video announced today the new 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe mounting kit for the WatchGuard DV-1 digital in-car video system.
The main reason for the change is to improve communication with other agencies because other Valley agencies often have different codes than Mesa, Detective Steve Berry said.
Before Mr. Rodriguez and six others overpowered workers at a maximum-security prison in South Texas in 2000, he had been serving a life sentence for paying a hit man $2,000 to kill his wife, Theresa Rodriguez, in 1992.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department promised today that any special reserve deputies caught using their badges and ID cards after reporting that the credentials had been lost or stolen will be arrested and charged with filing false police reports and being in possession of stolen property.
In just two hours, Phoenix police Sgt. Doug Hardin scanned more than 900 license plates, yet his hands rarely moved from the steering wheel of his unmarked pickup truck.
When police arrived, they found Kathryn Romberg, 45, and Robert Soto, 49, an off-duty 23-year veteran of the Chicago police force, bleeding from gunshot wounds in what police call an attempted robbery. Romberg, who lived in an apartment only steps from where the vehicle was parked, was pronounced dead at the scene. Soto, a detective in the police bomb and arson division, remained in critical condition Wednesday night in Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Murder and attempted murder charges against seven New Orleans police officers, accused of shooting unarmed civilians on the Danziger Bridge after Hurricane Katrina, were tossed out by Criminal District Court Judge Raymond Bigelow, who concluded that an Orleans Parish prosecutor tainted the secrecy of the grand jury process by showing a piece of testimony to another officer.
Waukegan, Ill., police shot and killed a man today after he struck an officer in the head with a hammer, police said.
