The 18-year-old spent 4 arduous years sweating and praying for this moment -- his moment -- in the spotlight. And hell if he isn't going to enjoy it.
Bratton is neatly shaven for the occasion. His familiar chin-strap scruff has been streamlined. His beaming smile is unfettered by twisted, black brambles of facial hair. For once, he looks his age.
"I told him," Ben Lewis says, laughing. "All those liquor stores ain't gonna sell him beer no more if he shaves."
Lewis has had no such trouble. He totes a 12-pack of MGD, and his breath hints at a celebration in progress. This is a big day for Lewis, manager, mentor and surrogate older brother. The graduation ceremony is really his moment, too. But this rite of passage belongs solely to Young Kev.
Kevin "Young Kev" Bratton dropped out of Alta Vista Charter School for good last fall. But today he becomes a man. His cap is a tight weave of cornrows. His gown is a crisp, white T-shirt and a fresh pair of sagging State Property jeans. His diploma is the album -- his album -- Ghetto Gospel.
"You look down the block, and everybody is Cadillacs," Young Kev says. "If you a Bentley, you gonna stand out. I always wanted to be the person that stands out."
Young Kev is a Bentley, if only for this afternoon. This album-release party in the parking lot adjacent to 7th Heaven on Troost signifies his graduation from being just another rapper to being an artist of consequence. The KPRS 103.3 "Hot 103 Jamz" van is parked nearby. Smoke billows from a grill as volunteers serve free hot dogs off the trunk of a tricked-out Lincoln Town Car.
A light rain is falling, but few of the people sipping from blue plastic cups seem to notice. The corner of 76th Street and Troost is alive on a Tuesday evening in May, and there ain't a damn thing gonna rain on this parade, least of all rain. And with the arrival of the Pythons drill team, it is a parade. Thumping drums. Shrill whistles. Little girls in red and silver sequined outfits dancing like it's Macy's Day.
The spectacle has drawn a crowd. The percentage of people here for Young Kev rather than merely for free hot dogs isn't clear. But it's also not important. They're here -- as are the entrepreneurs. Doe-eyed young basketball players stand sentry outside 7th Heaven in their baby-blue Tar Heels uniforms, a deflated basketball serving as their collection plate. A man in an ice cream truck makes a screeching U-turn before lurching to a halt beside his new customers. Others hand out fliers ("This shit is sick") for their upcoming music projects. One struggling rapper hands out his CDRs straight from the Costco box that originally held the blank Memorex discs.
But today, traffic stops for Young Kev. At least it does when a photographer runs into the road -- oblivious to oncoming traffic -- to snap a picture of him with the Pythons. The kids beam. Young Kev smiles.
"People do look at you different," Young Kev says later. "I'm not a role model, but to those little kids, you might be. You never know what's in the back of that child's mind."
But the fame is fleeting. Tomorrow is the grind. Tomorrow is federal agents storming 7th Heaven -- "Young Kev Ghetto Gospel In Stores Now" still on the store's reader board -- for allegedly selling drug paraphernalia. Tomorrow is going back to being another struggling artist.
If you stand in the middle of Prospect Avenue and toss a 20-inch rim to the wind, it's bound to hit at least three rappers before it comes to rest. Most are mediocre. Some are talented. Few grasp the complexities of breaking into the music business. But virtually all are desperate to do so.
Their music isn't like Ludacris' club-thumping anthems or the mind-expanding sermons of Dead Prez or the soul-baring soliloquies of Atmosphere. These are hard rhymes and harder beats. This is what people called gangsta rap before that genre was all but buried with Tupac Shakur.
Before Eminem could finish saying Hi, my name is ... , the fickle suburban audience drop-drop-dropped gangsta rap like it was hot. Real gangsta rap -- not the 50 Cent version -- faded from consciousness for everyone but those still living it.
In Kansas City, though, the music thrives underground. The circle of local artists churning out albums and mix tapes is ever-expanding, even as the most promising rappers wrestle to escape the ghetto within the ghetto that they've created for themselves.
Young Kev has graduated into the upper echelon of this fragmented fraternity with a style he describes as "gangsta but conscious." He has moderate talent, but he's also savvy. Ghetto Gospel is a relatively well-produced album put out by a fledgling independent label, Cheez Factory, run by Ben Lewis, the inspiration behind the dormant Kansas City hip-hop publication Mo Cheez Magazine. Through Lewis, Young Kev also is ahead of the admittedly stunted curve of self-promotion in a scene rife with bloated egos, unrealistic expectations and dangerous in-fighting.
It's a perilous path Young Kev has taken. But no more so than the alternative. How you gonna disrespect me when the whole city's mine?/I've been grindin' like a muthafucker, chasing my dream/No longer chasing -- I'm making my green/And it seems every nigga's talking tough shit/Not just some niggas but the hood that I grew up wit' -- Tech N9ne, "Kansas City King"
Aaron Yates is the king.
At least for now. But would-be successors are eager to depose Yates -- Tech N9ne -- from his throne as reigning sovereign of Kansas City hip-hop. The face paint. The religious imagery. The wild red hair. The adventurous beats. The schizophrenic stage presence.
He doesn't represent us, the subjects groan.
"I respect what he has done," Young Kev says. "But that just ain't playing in my speaker. And the red hair and all that? Man, you just scaring little kids. I ain't feeling that, and ain't nobody in the streets feeling that."
But Tech N9ne is the most successful and -- no contest -- the most visible rapper in his hometown. So it's no coincidence that he is featured in this month's Murder Dog magazine or that "Kansas City King" is the first song on the accompanying two-disc compilation.
"We think the Midwest is going to be the next place to blow up," says Murder Dog editor Black Dog Bone, who, like several other hip-hop personalities, declined to divulge his real name for this story. "This is going to be treated like a national release. It's going to be in all fifty states, in all the chain stores. It's going to be everywhere."
The decision to make Kansas City the first in a series of compilations spotlighting Midwest hip-hop is telling in that the California-based Murder Dog -- which holds substantial weight in the underground gangsta-rap community -- is willing to vouch for the scene.
"Kansas City is unbelievable," Black Dog says. "I'm a big fan. There is so much talent there. So much talent. But nobody has really noticed yet."
Or have they? According to Jan Fichman, owner of the embattled 7th Heaven, local hip-hop albums can account for as much as 60 percent of total record sales at the Troost store, and established local artists such as Rich the Factor consistently appear among the top weekly sellers.
"The local scene is exceptionally strong," Fichman says. "But not everybody is in tune to what's happening in the underground. We try to be an incubator for this stuff. The music travels by word-of-mouth and guerrilla marketing. And when people respond, they know they can usually find the albums here."
Problem is, there aren't many other places to find them. Prominent local producer Don Juan has been pursuing a local radio show focused solely on area hip-hop since his days producing for Tech N9ne. But it wasn't until this year (when 7th Heaven signed on as a sponsor) that 103.3 gave him the green light to cohost The Boiling Point with J.T. Quick for half an hour every Saturday night.
"At first, it was really hard to find enough quality songs to fill up the 30 minutes," Quick says. "Now we're getting stuff that's absolutely amazing. Now people are really putting out some hot material. And a lot of it."
But other than The Boiling Point and Cool Wayne's After Spot Hip-Hop show on KKFI 90.1, almost no live venues cater specifically to the hip-hop community, let alone its grittier subgenres. A few intrepid souls, including local producer and promoter J.D. the Time Bomb, struggle to find venues for live showcases and even weekly DJ hip-hop nights.
"This city is bottled up," J.D. the Time Bomb says. "The city needs some exposure -- we need something -- but young people have no outlet. Young people have nowhere to go as it is, and then you close down everything they do have. Then you wonder why they're running all over the streets."
Young Kev has performed at house parties, Mardi Gras celebrations, school assemblies and anywhere else that will have him. "People get to feel you, feel your vibe, feel the energy, [so] the live show is important," Young Kev says. "That's when you see if people are the truth, for real."
But the truth is, Kansas City artists with mainstream aspirations probably need to go elsewhere.
"You do have the little hole-in-the-wall clubs and whatnot," says local rapper and producer S2theB. "But if you really gonna make it -- if you don't want to be just a backyard cat -- you're gonna have to expand into other waters."
Several locals already have. Boy Big has ventured to New York. Fat Tone has ties to the Bay area. Court Dog is connected to Master P and No Limit Records in New Orleans.
Stubborn hometown pride is a handicap that Young Kev acknowledges yet embraces under the flag of idealism.
"Everybody talking bad about Kansas City, you know -- Missouri, the last state to free slavery -- and people's minds are still behind," Young Kev says. "Kansas is behind Missouri ten times, and if you behind in Missouri, you behind the nation twenty times. We always behind. But this is my city. This is what I know. I love the 'hood, and I couldn't picture leaving it."
Local artists who insist on building from within know it's critical to follow Tech N9ne's lead by using a fiery stage presence and relentless self-marketing to target a crossover audience. Specifically, an artist needs to capture suburban ears.
"From a record-label standpoint, it's extremely important to break into that market," Lewis admits. "But first the Johnson County audience has to hear you on the radio or see you on TV. Then you're viable."
Easier said than done. Kansas City rappers have an excruciating time getting their voices heard as it is. But then, most shoot themselves in the foot long before they reach that critical stage.
Unless somebody else shoots them first. This shit can go down/Muthafuckas die in this KC town/I call it "Killer City," 'cause that's all I see/Is muthafuckas getting R.I.P., you know? -- Fat Tone, "Menace to Society"
Anthony Watkins commands attention.
Not that someone nicknamed "Fat Tone" needs help standing out. But people also take notice when you're on the receiving end of an AK-47. Particularly when you survive with a scar on your chest, a chip on your shoulder and a song in your heart. Which is precisely what Fat Tone did after assailants showered an SUV in which he was riding with bullets in Brookside last October ("Who Shot Fat Tone?" November 13, 2003).
Catching lead and living to offer a retort in verse were the best things that could have happened to his fledgling hip-hop career.
I'm untouchable, you get it? Unfucking-touchable, Tone bragged on his album I'mma Get'cha.
He also has undeniable ability. But that tends to be overshadowed by his notoriety -- he's Kansas City's most visible example of the macho (and masochistic) side of a culture that turns rappers into gangsters.
The cover of I'mma Get'cha (Tone's first release since the shooting) depicts him sneering defiantly in a hospital gown as he lies on a gurney and flips off the camera. The album's first song, "Off Brands," begins with a montage of audio clips taken from local TV-news reports on Tone's shooting, then launches into a searing anthem set to Tupac's "Ambitionz Az a Ridah."
So many haters on my heels/I'm strapped, ready to kill, Tone snarls. I'm living life for real/So tell me how I feel to be a soldier/Bustin' on these niggas with ease/I give a fuck about these niggas/I'm still runnin' the streets ...
But when Tone wasn't spitting vitriol at the recent Juneteenth Youth Celebration, he was laughing. Perhaps that's partly because he knows he creates a ridiculous spectacle. Tone rolls thick. And soon after his five-car caravan pulled up at 20th Street and Vine for the Juneteenth show, fans began to swarm, and haters began to grumble.
Tone (who did not respond to the Pitch's interview requests) had two hype men welcome him to the stage -- one a little Lil' Jon shouting, "Give it up for my nigga Fat Tone! Come wit' it, nigga!" and the other a white, middle-aged, event moderator hollering, "Hey! Come on, y'all! Holler for Tone!" But Tone didn't come out until he was good and ready. And when he did, it was with a mob so big that his entourage had an entourage.
At first, there were six people onstage with him. Then eight. Then ten. Before long, a cacophonous, 16-member choir was shouting "Yeeeaaah!" and "It's real!" when they weren't sparking smokes or chatting into cell phones. At one point, the cling-ons completely enveloped the star within their ranks. That gave Tone a chance to catch his wind, which seemed easily depleted.
He continued by adding his rhymes to beats made famous by the Notorious B.I.G., Nick Cannon and Michael Jackson and singing Stacked to the ceiling to the tune of Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing." It wasn't completely clear what Tone was stacking to the ceiling -- money, flapjacks, copyright violations -- but the crowd was feeling it.
Men bobbed their heads and threw up their hands while women dipped and ground against a 6-foot-tall chain-link fence that created a 20-foot perimeter around the stage. The demilitarized zone was a curious addition, considering that the crowd was relatively sparse. But organizers obviously had safety concerns.
When Tone left the stage -- only after organizers pulled the plug when his set ran long -- it was clear why the fence was there. A small crowd of young men bid him adieu with calls of "Weak-ass nigga!" and "You shoot, you miss!" after one Tone stagehand pantomimed mowing down the detractors with a machine gun.
Gangsta rappers talk freely about doing gangsta shit. Tone is no different, alluding in his rhymes to selling dope and shooting those who cross him. But he also isn't stupid. His infamy sells. And even his physical features can be explained away as another function of his thug persona.
I keep some fat to protect me/Just in case a muthafucka want to wet me, Tone raps on "Menace to Society." The last young set that tried to run up on Tone/Caught five to his neck and one to his dome/It's murder on these streets, fool/I ain't slippin'.
Success in gangsta rap is often measured by status, status by stature, stature by material worth. A fact that Fat Tone was quick to remind the crowd -- and his peers -- of as he prowled the Juneteenth stage.
"I hear all you niggas rapping," Tone cooed. "But you ain't making any money." The block is real/And it ain't shit for your boy to get killed/High school dropout/Pops wasn't around/Can't use that as a cop-out/Put lights out, get your boy stomped out/Black life has no amount/In the inner city/Young prince of the city/Come and get me ... -- Young Kev, "Tha Block"
Kevin Bratton is dejected.
He walked off the Juneteenth stage minutes before Fat Tone paraded on. Now Young Kev stands alone in one corner of the de facto dressing room in the Black Archives of Mid-America building. His face contorted with frustration, his eyes staring blankly. In the other corner, the Fat Tone carnival talks, laughs and jostles for room in the suddenly cramped quarters.
Young Kev was loose and confident an hour before. And then he got to the stage.
You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge, boomed a sample from "Straight Outta Compton," announcing Young Kev's arrival. He had an entourage of one -- 10-year-old DaJuan Cayson -- to sing the hook from "Ghetto Gospel." But Young Kev fell victim to a familiar trap -- trying to rap over his actual album instead of an instrumental version -- and had to battle to not be drowned out by himself.
But it was the chain-link buffer that really rattled him.
"Sorry I can't get with y'all," he apologized to his audience. "I wish I could vibe with y'all, but they got me boxed in."
Young Kev continued gamely, but it wasn't long before onlookers began slipping away to the shade. A large pack of stone-faced teens lounging beneath a vendor's tent looked thoroughly unimpressed with the performance.
"You gotta crawl before you walk," Young Kev had said earlier in the day. "I'm still crawling. Hopefully I can get up and walk one day."
Young Kev could just be young, sensitive and humble. But he could also embody the conscious side of gangsta rap that turns would-be gangsters into rappers. He and Fat Tone share a common background. Growing up on rough streets. Trying to make order out of chaos. Defending their roots with vigilance.
Tone has ink to prove his love: A huge 5 tattooed on his right forearm and a corresponding 1 on his left represent 51st Street, a stretch of asphalt from the University of Missouri-Kansas City to the Satchel Paige Memorial Stadium with an epicenter somewhere near Whitley's Mini-mart, where a sign advertises "canpop" for 50 cents and "blunts" for 55.
Young Kev has ink, too. The tattoo is a little smaller but more encompassing, an 816 etched into his right forearm. The number symbolizes a similar love for the rough environs he grew up in.
"I'm not your average 18-year-old," says Young Kev, a product of the Guinotte housing project. "I've seen a lot and done a lot before it was my time. I've seen a lot of people die. I've seen a lot of people go to jail for life. People close to me, people that I grew up with."
Resisting the temptation to make quick cash on the street is hard. Trying to make it in music -- even at the shoestring level -- is expensive.
"It's real hard," Young Kev admits. "I have a daughter. I have bills. I got all kinds of hustles just trying to stay above the water. Just trying to make it like the next man. I've thought about going out on these streets hard. But it don't matter how broke I've been. My music always outweighs everything else."
The same can't be said for everyone crowded into the Kansas City talent pool. Virtually every streetwise rapper claims to have cut his gold-capped teeth as a smack dealer or stickup kid before using hip-hop as a parachute. Murmurs circulate about local artists associated with gangs from the block, from the region or from national sets like the Crips and Bloods. The affiliations are difficult to substantiate, though someone paying close attention might suppose that some rappers who have the uncanny ability to accessorize with blue or red aren't merely devout Royals or Chiefs fans.
"Back in the day, there used to be groups singing on the corner in this city that had talent but no money," says S2theB. "Now you have a lot of young guys who have money -- some with the street gangs -- but they don't necessarily have the talent. But those cats get tapped out. The fake falls away, and the real rises up."
No matter how many times Fat Tone gets shot, he needs skills to back up the bravado -- and he has them. But even Jay-Z wouldn't command attention rolling up in a busted-ass station wagon. Image is important, and it can come at a high cost.
"You can't do one thing in the streets and another on the music side, because it's gonna intertwine," Young Kev says. "If you got enemies and you have a show you gonna be at, they gonna be there, too. You bangin' real hard, and then you runnin' an advertisement: 'I got a show right here'? You settin' up a hit."
Which could also be the best career move you ever make. Assuming you survive.
"The controversy sells, but if I gotta get shot to sell records, I don't want it," Young Kev says. "If it can't be on my pure talent alone, I don't want it." [You] claiming Kansas City/But you straight outta Locash, with no class/And nah, you can't rap with me, so don't ask/You better hit the bricks before I put some shit on yo' ass/You know the business -- Court Dog, "Midwest Niggaz"
Courtney Richardson II has something he wants to tell you.
"In Kansas City, we get pigeonholed into our sound, but it really isn't even ours," Court Dog says. "Most of these cats are really just spinning off of the Bay area. We haven't even really found our identity yet."
The largest hip-hop section at 7th Heaven -- larger than the local displays -- is labeled "Bay Area Rap." And many artists in Kansas City are, in fact, derivative of underground stars from the Bay, such as C-Bo and E-40. Which is perhaps why every third guest appearance on a Kansas City gangsta rap album is likely to feature at least one of the two.
In underground hip-hop, you're only as good as your last guest appearance. Fat Tone scored a coup on I'mma Get'cha with an assist from West Coast star Nate Dogg, the übermensch of hip-hop guest spots. But most local rappers rely on the usual suspects to give their albums star power. Young Kev is no exception. Although he insisted on KC collabos for Ghetto Gospel, he featured an interview with E-40 on the Street Hype DVD that accompanied the album.
When artists rely too much on others to carry their albums, it's one of several symptoms that a scene is plagued by business ignorance and indifference. Making a guest appearance is, however, a quick way to spread your name.
"I've done cameos for free, for money, for Hennessey, for Gates, for whatever," says Walter "The Popper" Edwin. "People don't always understand that, but I knew it was the best way to get my name out."
Boy Big (LeVar Fletcher) is becoming a coveted guest himself. His buttery vocals and gritty lyrics (is there such a thing as gangsta R&B?) have become an in-demand commodity. After all, Nate Dogg can't sing the hook on every album. Boy Big was featured on the Gang Starr single "Nice Girl Wrong Place" and made a cameo in the subsequent MTV video. He has also done work with Wu-Tang Clan members Ghostface Killah and Raekwon the Chef (both of whom appear on his album The Playa, the Hustla and the Gentleman). But that doesn't necessarily mean anything to the average consumer.
"That name might carry weight within the hip-hop community, but you ask the average 15-year-old who C-Bo or Ghostface Killah is, and they won't know what the hell you're talking about," says producer Tom "Woo Woo" Woosley.
Woosley handles a high volume of hip-hop acts at his Woo Woo Productions studio in Olathe, doing everything from making beats and recording tracks to designing graphics and offering promotion strategies. Hundreds of musicians have flocked to his studio -- more than 250 albums produced in 4 years -- but Woosley rarely sees the dedication required for success.
"We could make you a record by the end of the day," Woosley says. "It's not rocket science. And we could go down to QuikTrip and sell them out of the trunk. But you have to put in the work. A lot of these artists put the horse before the cart. They assume they're going to get paid just because they have a record."
But that's rarely the case, Woosley says. "When they walk out that door, what should they do? Get up at 9 a.m., get a box of CDs and go door-to-door if you have to. Just like any other businessperson. But a lot of these guys don't have a simple understanding of what it means to sell a product."
But Young Kev and Ben Lewis work hard to spread their Ghetto Gospel. The Popper undoubtedly benefits from his 103.3 connections (his brother, Gary "DJ Fresh" Edwin, has ties to the station), but he also successfully jockeyed his single "I Do" into regular rotation at 103.3 by taking the song to every club -- including strip joints. Turns out, anything good enough for Trixxxie is good enough to become a regular feature on the station's Hot 8 at 8.
"You gotta be savage in the game," the Popper says. "If I was just a rapper, I'd be stuck here and my song wouldn't be on the radio. You have to be a businessman, too. That's what keeps you hungry."
And when you're hungry, you have a career buffet. Court Dog used his No Limit connections and album sales to finance his budding acting career. He moved to Los Angeles last year and has since scored a few movie roles. "I'm a decent rapper, but I'm a better businessman," Court says. "You get a lot of young cats in Kansas City who don't understand that the music business is a business. The wackest rapper might get more play than the illest rapper because it's all about marketing and who has the machine behind them."
But most of the artists Woosley sees, he says, give up before they even get started. A young brother in his prime/Out on the grind/Trying to get mine/Hustlin' all the time/I can't help myself, but I'm still trying to help myself -- Young Kev, "I Can't Help Myself"
Kevin Bratton is just getting started.
He has spent four years sweating and praying for a moment -- the moment -- in the spotlight. The real spotlight. But today isn't it. His name has been replaced on the reader board by the Popper. Young Kev's cornrows are hidden by a tight black skull cap. He hasn't shaved for days. He is good, once again, to visit liquor stores.
Young Kev is sitting in the same parking lot next to 7th Heaven where four weeks earlier he was The Man. Now he is just another guy. This is a celebration for the release of the Murder Dog compilation. Young Kev has a song on the album, but so do three dozen other local artists. His Ghetto Gospel has been downgraded to a handful of copies in the new-arrivals section at 7th Heaven.
If the spotlight is on anybody today, it's on the Popper -- celebrating a new album -- and Ben Lewis, who made the Murder Dog compilation a reality. But Young Kev seems content to loiter in the shadows. He sits away from the other artists, who are strutting, mingling and mugging for video cameras. He quietly bobs his head as the Murder Dog compilation thumps from the PA speakers. When the ensemble gathers for a group photo, he lingers in the back, barely visible. He is wearing a photo of his baby girl on a chain around his neck. The inscription reads: Serenity Monique Bratton born April 12, 2004.
Fat Tone has a new album out and enough fame to carry his name into his next album or shooting, whichever comes first. And even though Kansas City might be forgotten as soon as Murder Dog shifts its focus, this upswing isn't a mirage to those on the inside.
"If you got a pinhole on a full balloon, you can't hold it back forever," says Boiling Point cohost J.T. Quick. "The passion people are putting into their music is eventually going to overflow. It takes time to build, but when it does, it'll pop."
"It's gonna happen within the next year," Don Juan predicts. "It's just a matter of time. It's all coming back to the Midwest. And anybody can break out at any time and change the world in a matter of months."
Young Kev dreams of a label deal -- a real label deal. He wants to put away $50,000 for his daughter's college education. He wants safety. He wants security. He wants a future.
He's not stupid. He knows his chances. And as young and promising as his career is, he knows nobody's going to be interested in an Old Kev.
"I ain't trying to be 40 and rapping," Young Kev says. "I've been rapping since I was 14. Every year, a new door opens for me. But if I don't keep stepping up, it's not working. I'll hang it up and pass it to the next little cat."
He doesn't want bullet wounds to be his advertisements. He doesn't want to lean on more successful artists in more successful cities. He doesn't want to sacrifice his creativity for the easy club hit. His identity and his ability are all he has. But he believes they're all he needs.
"I can't come from much worse than where I am -- and I don't have nothing now," Kevin Bratton says. "I ain't got nothing to lose."

Aviation Calculator
It is inspired on the Airbus A320 MCDU, and it follows its concept, rules, design and color codes. It has a few modifications just for this application purpose.
With the Flight Time function you can:
- Add and subtract times, using the MCDU scratchpad, or any inserted value in the screen, like History inputs, Total Sum and Memories.
- Correct wrong inputs in the history list, without having to start from the beginning.
- No need to use the ":" or any other separator, neither zeros at left, just insert the numbers. As simple as that!
For 0h01 enter just 1, 0h25 enter 25, 2h35 enter 235 and for 10h00 enter 1000.
- Leaving the app will not make you lose any data, when you come back everything is just like you left it.
- Save your totals in Memories available, and use them next time.
- Intentionally, calculations are limited to 50000 hours, it is more than a pilot needs in a lifetime.
- There is a helpful tool that is the "+24" button, it helps you to calculate time differences between different days.
You depart at 22h50 and land at 2h50 next day:
In the scratchpad you insert 250 followed by the "+24" button. It will automatically show 2650 and then "add" button. Insert 2250 followed by the "minus" button, and there you have the difference of 4:00.
- A simple Help page teaches you which buttons are active and their functions in the MCDU.
- Adjust screen brightness for night and day use.
- Finally, but not less important this application works on any android device you have, phone or tablet of any screen size or resolution. It will adjust to it perfectly! (Not stretching or shrinking)
With the Holdover Time function you can:
- Calculate easily the Holdover Time for de-icing/anti-icing operations.
- Table sources are from the Association of European Airlines: Recommendations for de-icing/anti-icing aeroplanes on the ground, Edition 29 – July 2014.
- The start time must be entered in hhmm format (four digits, including zeros on the left).
- Use left/right buttons to scroll option selected.
- For safety reasons the data in this function will be lost when you exit the app, to avoid suggestion errors in future use.
- Warns you when to check Lowest Operational Use Temperature of Types I, II, III, & IV Fluids (LOUT).
- Warns you when no Holdover Time guidelines exist.
If you find a problem or have any questions or suggestions, please contact me.
Smart Logbook
Smart Logbook makes logging flights fast and easy. As a pilot you log flights all the time, so we've designed the entire app around that core experience. For example, Smart Logbook can use your phone's GPS to automatically find your departure or destination airport. No input necessary: just one tap to confirm.
After you log your flights, Smart Logbook keeps them safe by automatically saving your data to our secure servers. If you upgrade or lose your phone, you can restore your flights to your new phone in seconds.
*** Online sync is free for the duration of the beta. When we launch the paid version of Smart Logbook, it will be an optional add-on subscription service. ***
Here's the current list of Smart Logbook features:
- Database of 40k airports, from virtually every country on Earth.
- Find airports using GPS, or by entering an ICAO, IATA, or FAA code.
- Automatic data sync that makes switching phones super easy.
- Customizable for commercial or private pilots.
- Add multi-leg flights with up to 10 airports.
- Automatic entry of estimated night flying time based on the route and date/time.
- Totals screen. See your total flight time, time by type (PIC, Instrument, Night, etc.), approaches by type, and takeoffs/landings (day, night). Filter totals by date or aircraft.
- Interactive flight map that shows where and how far you've flown.
- Search for flights by flight number, airport code, or remarks.
- Export flights to Excel/CSV.
Here are a couple features in the pipeline:
- Currency tracking
- PDF export (for printing your logbook)

Ann Hardin ShawRead MoreWhen students of optometry learn how to fit contact lenses, there's a good chance they pick up The Fitting Guide for Contact Lenses, a textbook co-authored by Dr. Roger F. Shaw, III of Southern Eye Center. As an authority on lens fitting, Dr. Shaw carefully scrutinizes each eye and pinpoints factors that make it a candidate for specific lenses. In addition to continually exercising his skills at Southern Eye Center, he disseminates his knowledge as an adjunct professor with three colleges of optometry. Dr. Ann Hardin Shaw joins Dr. Roger Shaw at Southern Eye Center, contributing expertise in the areas of nutrition and vision care for children with special needs. The duo draws on a full repertoire of ocular measurement equipment to determine prescriptions, prep eyes for corrective LASIK surgery, or tailor comfortably curved pairs of contact lenses or eye umbrellas.:m]]23855 Eden StPlaquemine, LA US
The Island Country Club and Golf CourseRead MoreSculpted through the water-kissed terrain of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, The Island Country Club challenges golfers with a lengthy course that measures 7,010 yards from the farthest tees. Water hazards await on nearly every hole throughout the course, giving advantage to golfers with confident swings and disciplined refusal to give golf-ball treats to the aviary creatures that occupy The Island's wooden duck houses. The course's most difficult hole, the 441-yard, par 4 11th offers a PGA Tour-worthy test from the tee, as drives must steer clear of a water hazard that hugs the entire right side of the hole while also shaping the shot to compensate for the fairway's right-ward bend. In respect of the wildlife that shares the course grounds, The Island uses solar panels to power its clubhouse, golf carts, and herds of robotic caddies hired to graze in the native long grasses. To prepare for upcoming rounds, golfers can enlist the services of PGA master professional Dave Baron, the club's head golf pro. After a long day of launching drives and managing 9-irons' tender egos, golfers can unwind at The Island Grill, where executive chef Mark Maggio artfully blends elements of Italian and Louisiana cuisine. Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 72 course * Length of 7,010 yards from the farthest tees * Course rating of 75.1 from the farthest tees * Slope rating of 143 from the farthest tees * Four tee options23550 Myrtle Grove Rd.Plaquemine, LA US
Nottoway Plantation & ResortRead MoreIn 1855, sugar magnate John Hampden Randolph began planning a grand family home near the banks of the Mississippi. He purchased more than 1,000 acres of land and commissioned esteemed architect Henry Howard to design the house. Howard envisioned a grand Greek revival and Italianate-style home with towering ceilings, 11-foot doors, multilevel terraces, stately pillars, and showerheads that gushed extra-virgin olive oil. Although the final mansion's three-story height and 64 rooms are its most impressive attributes, its arcing stairways, ironwork details, and crisp white paint are its most majestic. Soon after the home's completion, the Civil War began, and the peaceful family sanctuary gathered a rich but troublesome history, much like a country pony on his first trip to the big city. Despite changing owners and losing acreage, the home survived. Years later, a multimillion-dollar renovation project restored the mansion to its peak condition and added modern resort amenities. Once again, the mansion serves as a graceful venue for weddings and meetings, and even houses overnight visitors in 40 hotel rooms. Historical experts remain on hand, leading guided tours to help preserve the memory of the home's past.31025 Louisiana 1White Castle, LA US

Abidal for liver transplant next week
BARCELONA defender Eric Abidal will undergo his liver transplant some time next week, according to Sport.
The Catalan club revealed last week that the 32-year-old would have to go under the knife again due to his liver problems, although an exact date is yet to be set.
Abidal made a full recovery from surgery in 2011 to remove a tumour in his liver, and returned in time to play the full 90 minutes of the club's Champions League final victory over Manchester United last May. However, it has now been determined that the defender will require a new liver.
The waiting period for a liver transplant is normally four months, but the left-back will not be put on the waiting list as a childhood friend who matches his blood type will become his donor.
His acquaintance arrived in Barcelona on Sunday and is currently being taken through the appropriate standard protocol to prepare for the operation.

Lisa Jackson is stepping down after a four-year term.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, who pushed through the most sweeping curbs on air pollution in two decades, announced Thursday morning she will resign her post.
Jackson released the following statement:
"I want to thank President Obama for the honor he bestowed on me and the confidence he placed in me four years ago this month when he announced my nomination as Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. At the time I spoke about the need to address climate change, but also said: 'There is much more on the agenda: air pollution, toxic chemicals and children's health issues, redevelopment and waste-site cleanup issues, and justice for the communities who bear disproportionate risk.' As the President said earlier this year when he addressed EPA's employees, 'You help make sure the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat are safe. You help protect the environment not just for our children but their children. And you keep us moving toward energy independence…We have made historic progress on all these fronts.' So, I will leave the EPA confident the ship is sailing in the right direction, and ready in my own life for new challenges, time with my family and new opportunities to make a difference."
During her time at the EPA, Jackson pledged to focus on seven priorities for EPA's future: taking action on climate change; improving air quality; cleaning up our communities; protecting America's waters; assuring the safety of chemicals; expanding the conversation on environmentalism and working for environmental justice; and building stronger state and tribal partnerships.
"Under her leadership, the EPA has taken sensible and important steps to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink, including implementing the first national standard for harmful mercury pollution, taking important action to combat climate change under the Clean Air Act, and playing a key role in establishing historic fuel economy standards that will save the average American family thousands of dollars at the pump, while also slashing carbon pollution," said President Barack Obama in a release.
When it comes to hiring, make sure to focus on the most important part: interviewing.

July 31, 2011 3:55 by Reuters
Union National Bank , jointly owned by the governments of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, posted a 23-percent rise in second-quarter net profit, beating analysts forecasts, as higher impairment losses were offset by a surge in net interest income.
The Abu Dhabi-headquartered lender earned a net profit of 415.3 million dirhams ($113.35 million) in the second quarter, compared with 337.38 million in the same period one year earlier.
Analysts polled by Reuters forecasted an average profit of 388.83 million dirhams in the second quarter.
Impairment losses in the second quarter were 151.0 million dirhams compared with 124.60 million dirhams in the year ago period, UNB said in a bourse statement on Sunday.
Net interest income surged to 512 million dirhams for the quarter versus 395.6 million dirhams a year earlier, the company said, attributing the increase mainly to a rise in loan growth.
Loans and advances rose 5.1 percent to 56.2 billion dirhams as at June 30, UNB said. UAE banks have struggled to increase lending despite a rise in overall liquidity in the banking system.
Last week, Emirates NBD , UAE's largest lender by assets slashed its loan growth target for the year even as it saw a positive outlook for the economy.
In June, brokerage firm AlembicHC raised its price target on the company to 4.5 dirhams from 3.5 dirhams, citing higher net interest margins expectations. (Reporting by Stanley Carvalho, Editing by Dinesh Nair)
