Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion (PC) Review
I'm going to examine two games in this review, which is a little unusual. Both Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion and Warlock – Master of the Arcane appear wildly different, but both have a lot in common with regards to their good and bad sides.
SOASE: Rebellion is a sci-fi RTS game with 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate) trappings. You go from planet to planet building colonies, mining materials, expanding your empire, and if need be, putting down any unruly enemies. You start off with a single planet, a few ship making facilities, and a few colony ships. You go from planet to planet (and then different start systems), colonizing them, and going about your fledging empire ways. You can build frigates, cruisers and capital ships to begin with, and only a very low number. Through research (and a confounding tech tree) you gain access to numerous upgrades, building out your fleet, upgrading your empire/planets, and so on. Along with this is diplomacy (defense pacts, peace treaties, etc.) with other empires, a whole black market/Pirate faction mechanic, and so on. There are a few key problems that really drag the game down though, which I'll get into a bit later on.
Warlock – Master of the Arcane is a fantasy-based 4X game. To put it simply (and bluntly) the game is basically Civilization 5 with fantasy creatures. Instead of the Civ 5 units of a B-52 Bomber or a Tank, you use units like an Earth Elemental, or Skeleton Archers. It takes place in the same world as other Paradox Interactive games, such as the Majesty series or the wonderful game Defenders of Ardania . You start off with one city and are told to build your first build a building, research your first spell, and given a few basic units to explore. The basic principle applies though of trying to expand your new empire via peaceful expansion or with more militaristic means. You can have a set number of other mage's to deal with in the game, as well as a neutral/hostile creature's faction. Unlike SOASE, Warlock is entirely turn based, with each unit given a set number of moves or actions to take. Once the moves are used the unit has run out of actions and can't be used until the next turn. It's all very cut and dry because it's been used in other games before and is familiar to most PC gaming fans.
SOASE is real time though which adds a different wrinkle into the equation. You can move ships around at any time (as can your enemies). However moving ships around and attacking enemies is a laborious process that can take forever. In the first training mission, it took me around 15 minutes to destroy the defense turret and planet. I found later in the in the options menu the commands for speeding up and slowing time down. The fact that this isn't explained anywhere in the baffling tutorial is somewhat mystifying to me.
This is one big problem with both games one of their connective problems, a horrendous tutorial. Both games go about it in different way. Warlock has one of the most half-assed tutorials I've seen in a game. They give you about 4 or 5 static screens as you play a game that explain the most basic of concepts. Things like unit type, what buildings are good or bad, economy, how to expand, are just not touched upon at all. You can go to the developer website (or other internet sites) to find out about game mechanics, but really? They couldn't have baked that into the game at all? It feels woefully inadequate in its execution. SOASE has a similar problem but it's the inverse of the equation. The game has a 6 part tutorial that throws so much information at you that none of it sticks. It's an information overload of a high proportion but the problem is that it feels like none of it applies to the game. You get concepts thrown at you about how to make a colony or how to build a fighter squadron on your capital ship but there is a disconnection about what you need to actually be able to do those things.
The biggest problem both games have is a complete lack of a story or campaign. When you select single player, you're just given a map select screen, a screen to choose which faction you want, and a screen to set up your enemies or battlefield options. That's it. I don't expect a 100+ hour epic quest like Skyrim or Fallout, but come on, give us something. Even a simple challenge/mission mode to give you specific tasks would be welcome. Instead it just has a battle creator and that's it. Civ 5 doesn't really have a mission mode either but it does have some scenarios to try and give you something else to do. It's a problem in both games, but it's a seemingly bigger problem in SOASE. You're just given an intro movie and three screens of text to try and explain the factions. There are 3 factions in SOASE, with a "loyalist" and a "rebel" differentiator (so 6 factions playable, total). The game doesn't explain who these races are, or what the stakes are, if any. Warlock doesn't get off easy though as the only story is "Become the arch mage". There are also three factions in Warlock, but many more characters. SOASE has only 6, but each faction has different units to use. Warlock has 12 characters, 5 for humans, 3 for undead and 4 for monsters. However, each of the human characters shares the same human units, regardless of who you choose, same for undead and monster.
The way you gather materials and research is actually pretty similar in both games. You have to build various structures like mining stations (in SOASE) or gold markets (in Warlock) to get money. Likewise the same thing goes for food and magic (Warlock) and crystals, and tech (in SOASE). Once again, there is a problem related to this mechanic in each game. In SOASE, trying to figure out the tech tree is a maddening process. It makes the tech tree in something like Starcraft 2 or C&C 3 look tame by comparison. There are dozens of options to choose from with no hint at all about what's needed and what's not. It's compounded by the fact that each faction has its own separate tech tree. Also each faction has at least 4 different tech trees (some of them having multiple paths) to choose from. So if one faction has 100 different tech upgrades, and there are 6 factions, that equals out to 600 tech options. That's a LOT of stuff to try and keep in your mind. The research in Warlock is far simpler but has a catch. You just have to select a new spell to research with each spell requiring more time to research. You only can have an option to research one out of five, at a given time. Once you've completed one spell it's replaced in the wheel by a new one. It is a completely random and arbitrary system though. So you can research a simple spell like lesser heal, and then what comes next could be "Elemental Weapon" or "Super Mega Deathbolt" (not a real spell).
Diplomacy is one area that SOASE has a good lead above Warlock (or Civ 5 for that matter). There are some good options to help bolster this system. You have the usual stuff of defense pacts, cease fires, empire/ship vision, and the like. One neat thing is the inclusion of a "mission" option, where you can give missions to other players for rewards and credit. The other nice thing is a good range of relationship status, going from -20 (hated) to 20 (loved) about how other factions think of you. You can also make a ton of different material trade pacts to influence people. Warlock doesn't really have that many options. You can only make diplomatic relations with another mage in the game, and not any neutral units. Once you do make a pact, there's no reward for doing so. You can't win the game with diplomacy in Warlock so there's no real reason to even try. The few times I would try, the other mage would love me for a while then break the treaty for no real reason. The game gives you no notifications about what you might have done wrong, just a "You and the other mage are no longer allies" message.
Graphically both games are competent but not much else. Warlock generally looks good but the world is a bit too colorful at times and has problems pointing out key things (like enemies). The designs are about as cookie-cutter as you could expect. SOASE takes place in a full 3D environment, namely space, with a camera that can let you zoom in as far or as close as you want. Zooming in on the maximum setting reveals that the ships look like they're made from about five polygons total. Zooming out provides a nice view but is largely useless due to how small everything really is. The in-game effects, like laser blasts or enemies blowing up, look pathetic. The noticeable thing was the "Jump drive" effect, which looked artistically very neat. The game still looks like it's from 2009 though, and had a weird bug on my machine. Near the end of one round my ally built a sizeable army (over 100 ships). He swarmed a planet and the FPS on my machine dropped like a rock. I exceed the minimum requirements and somewhat match the recommended ones, but still the game chugged along merrily. I'd say it hit about 5 FPS, give or take. That's slightly worrying if you're on an older machine and have an itch to build out a large fleet.
Sound seems like it's missing from both games. Sound effects and music are kind of muted in SOASE. They are there but they aren't noticeable or memorable much. There is a lot of voice acting in the game but it goes overboard somewhat. It's just constant messages about allies needing help, or your fleets getting reinforced. There is voice acting in Warlock, but it's relegated to only a few units shouting random stuff, and the same Paradox Interactive Sean Connery sound-alike narrating the tutorials for you. The music and sound effects are also pretty forgetful but pleasant enough.
Both games have ample amounts of replayability, but the edge goes to SOASE for the sheer number of stuff you can do. There are a lot of options for customizing your matches in both games, in terms of teams, enemies, map size, and the like. That's about all Warlock has though. SOASE has a map builder, mod support, LAN support, and online play. If you can actually figure the game out, there is likely to be near infinite replay value.
Warlock – Master of the Arcane is a pretty shameless Civilization 5, only with a different setting and unit types. It doesn't reinvent the wheel by any means but it is fairly solid in its own execution. It has some problems around the edges, (again) no single player, weak tutorial, and a dodgy research mechanic.
Graphics — 7.5 The game is a bit simple but looks good. There's a problem of trying to pick out enemies from the terrain though.
Sound — 6.5 Music is decent and the effects are alright. The narrator is annoying though. I also ran into a bug where he said two different things at once, overlapping the audio.
Gameplay — 8.5 It's derivative of Civ 5, but it doesn't make it bad. Actually that makes it a whole lot of fun.
Lasting Appeal — 8.5 You can have a game go on for hours. It doesn't have the same depth as Rebellion does, but you could spend a lot of time plugging away at different games.
Fun Factor — 8.0 It's a slightly more simplified version of Civilization 5, but it's s till a lot of fun. Tutorial issues aside, you will enjoy it a lot.
Overall — 8.0 [ Very Good ]
I'm very hesitant to say that Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is a bad game. It's just a deeply frustrating game that doesn't hold your hand at all. It's deeply strategic, with a ton of depth and tons of different things to keep track of. But it has no story, a poor tutorial and feels like it they made no huge changes from the original game. If you liked the previous games in the series it's totally another one of those. But if you're waffling even a little bit, try the demo and really make sure you can get into it.
|The game looks decent, but nothing revolutionary. I don't think there have been any huge improvements since the original version. I ran into some FPS problems as well.
|I may be too dumb for this game, and that's fine. For fans of the genre, it's more of the same. No story or any single player hurts though.
|Music and sound effects aren't distinct but they aren't terrible. The constant vocal chatter about what your empire is doing can be annoying though.
|Lasting Appeal
|Again, if you can understand it, you will be playing it for months. If you don't get it though, it's likely just to frustrate you and make you long for something else.
|Fun Factor
|I didn't personally have a lot of fun, but I can understand if someone did. The game just didn't resonate with me at all.

Miami-Erie Canal north of Fifth Street, Dayton
It looks like Hauer Music Store is on the immediate right (120 S Patterson Blvd Dayton, OH 45402). The other buildings on the left and further north on the right don't exist anymore. Hauer Music Store was originally built as Sachs-Pruden Brewery (1888?), which later became The Dayton Brewery Company. The Sach-Pruden brewery listed location is 79 Wyandot Street. So maybe the buildings further north on the right were part of the originally brewery. Was the canal used to ship beer barrels? This picture looks like it was taken after the brewery went out of business. A painted sign seems to say "The Lows Brothers Co". The canal doesn't look like it's in great shape either (including the car with missing tire rubber!). The picture doesn't say when it was taken. Prohibition was from 1920 to 1933. The canal was filled-in in 1927. The brewery went out of business at the time of prohibition. Was the picture taken between 1920 and 1927? Maybe others can shed more light about this picture?
Was Borden Dairy not located where Hauer Music Store was until recently. The building is going down now, 8/30/2014.

Impressive! I wonder if my son would wear a vest. Unfortunately, I doubt it. Maybe once for the novelty and then it would be tucked away and forgot. Sniff.

Theodore Edson Chandler (December 26, 1894 – January 7, 1945) was an admiral of the United States Navy during World War II, who commanded battleship and cruiser divisions in both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. He was killed in action when Japanese kamikaze aircraft struck his flagship USS Louisville.
Early life and career[edit]
Theodore Edson Chandler was born at Annapolis, Maryland, in 1894 on the day after Christmas. He was the grandson of William E. Chandler (1835–1917) who served as Secretary of the Navy during the Chester A. Arthur administration and a U.S. Senator from New Hampshire and Lucy Lambert Hale (1841–1915).[1]
He entered the United States Naval Academy in July 1911, and graduated on 5 June 1915. The new officer received orders to report for duty in the battleship Florida. Ensign Chandler next served briefly on board the battleship New Hampshire beginning training in the use of torpedoes at the end of April 1917. On August 2, he completed that assignment and, four days later, joined the precommissioning complement of the destroyer Conner, then being fitted out at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
World War I and interwar years[edit]
In May 1918, Lieutenant junior grade Chandler sailed in Conner to Brest, France, his destroyer's base during the last six months of World War I. After the Armistice, his service in European waters included a brief term as the temporary commanding officer of Conner.
Chandler returned home in April and, in the following month, reported to the shipyard of the William Cramp & Sons Shipbuilding Co. to help outfit the destroyer Chandler, named in honor of his late grandfather, former Secretary of the Navy William E. Chandler. After her commissioning in September, he served in that ship until December 1920, when he was detached to return to the United States.
On January 2, 1921, he reported for duty at the Naval Postgraduate School at Annapolis, Maryland, and began a 29-month series of ordnance-related studies. On June 1, 1923, he completed training duty and, after a brief leave of absence, reported to Newport News, Virginia, on July 4 for duty in conjunction with the outfitting of the battleship West Virginia. The battleship went into commission on 1 December, and Chandler served in her until 16 January 1925 when he transferred to the battleship Colorado.
In June 1926, newly promoted Lt. Comdr. Chandler came ashore once more for a two-year assignment at the Naval Mine Depot, Yorktown, Virginia. A nine-month tour of duty as gunnery officer in the light cruiser Trenton followed. He reported on board the auxiliary vessel General Alava on April 24, 1929 but was detached only two days later to assume command of the destroyer Pope. In October 1930, he began another series of shore assignments, reporting initially to the Bureau of Ordnance and then to the Army Industrial College before rounding out duty ashore with a brief tour in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations.
On May 30, 1932, Chandler resumed sea duty as gunnery officer on the staff of the Commander Destroyers Battle Force. On February 2, 1934, he assumed command of the destroyer Buchanan. Between August 1935 and June 1938, he served three successive tours as assistant naval attaché: first at Paris, then at Madrid, and finally at Lisbon.
He arrived in Camden, New Jersey, in June 1938 to help fit out the light cruiser Nashville; and he served as her executive officer until July 1940. Next, he returned to Washington, D.C. for a 15-month assignment in the office of the Chief of Naval Operations. Near the end of that tour of duty, he was promoted to captain on July 18, 1941.
World War II[edit]
Atlantic campaigns[edit]
Chandler relieved Capt. P. P. Powell as commanding officer of the light cruiser Omaha on October 15. Shortly over three weeks later, an event occurred that highlighted Chandler's tour in command of the light cruiser.
On the morning of November 6, 1941, Omaha, in company with the destroyer Somers, came across a darkened ship that acted suspiciously when challenged. That ship—although bearing the name Willmoto and purportedly operating out of Philadelphia—proved to be the German blockade runner Odenwald, bound for Germany with 3,857 metric tons of raw rubber in her holds. Scuttled by her crew, the German ship began to sink; but Capt. Chandler sent a party on the German vessel that controlled the flooding and salvaged the ship. It proved to be the last time that American sailors received prize money.[citation needed]
For most of the next 18 months, Omaha cruised the waters of the South Atlantic in search of German blockade runners and submarines. That tour of duty ended in April 1943, when Chandler was selected to command United States naval forces in the Aruba-Curaçao area. On May 3, 1944, he was promoted to rear admiral. In July 1944, Rear Admiral Chandler took command of Cruiser Division 2 (CruDiv 2), Atlantic Fleet. In that capacity, he participated in Operation Dragoon, the invasion of southern France in mid-August, and commanded the "Sitka-Romeo" force which captured the Iles d'Hyeres just off the coast of Provence.
Pacific campaigns[edit]
Shortly thereafter, Rear Admiral Chandler was given command of Battleship Division 2 (BatDiv 2) of the Pacific Fleet.
He reported for duty on October 2 in time to command his ships — part of Rear Admiral Jesse B. Oldendorf's bombardment group — during the Leyte invasion and helped to repulse the Japanese southern attack group—Vice Admirals Shoji Nishimura's Force "C" and Kiyohide Shima's 2d Striking Force—in the Surigao Strait phase of the Battle for Leyte Gulf.
On December 8, 1944, Rear Admiral Chandler was shifted to command of CruDiv 4 and flew his flag above USS Louisville. During the voyage from Leyte to Lingayen for the invasion of Luzon, Chandler's cruisers came under heavy Japanese air attacks—mostly by kamikazes.
Late in the afternoon of January 5, 1945, a group of sixteen kamikazes swooped in on the force then about 100 miles (200 km) from Manila Bay. One of the four successful kamikazes crashed into Rear Admiral Chandler's flagship USS Louisville at her number No. 2 main battery 8-inch 55 caliber gun knocking it completely out of commission, but continued her bombarding mission and downed several planes. The next day, however, the cruiser suffered more severely during a repeat performance. At 17:30, another kamikaze plunged into the cruiser's starboard side at the signal bridge where explosives wrought havoc. Rear Admiral Chandler jumped from the bridge to the signal bridge though horribly burned by gasoline flames, Chandler helped deploy fire hoses alongside enlisted men to stop the flames and then waited his turn for first aid with those same ratings. The admiral, his lungs scorched very severely, was beyond help. He died the next day January 7, 1945 in spite of the efforts of the medical department. Admiral Chandler is listed on the Tablets of the Missing at the Manila Philippines National Cemetery
Two ships in the U.S. Navy have been named after Chandler. In October 1945, the destroyer Theodore E. Chandler (DD-717) was named in his honor. In 1983, the Kidd-class guided missile destroyer Chandler (DDG-996) was named after him.

Some of the pitchers left exposed in the draft include lefties Ricky Barrett (Minnesota), Matt Coenen (Atlanta) and Orlando Rodriguez (Dodgers) and right-handers Shawn Kohn (Oakland), Billy Sadler (San Francisco) and Matt Roney (Texas).
Position players who may attract interest include Cleveland outfielders Ben Francisco and Jason Cooper, Arizona's Brian Barden and Dan Uggla, and Cubs' slugger Brandon Sing.
With nine spots open on their 40-man roster, it is possible the Padres would take two players in the draft. Any player claimed in the Rule Five draft must remain on the active roster all year or be offered back to their original team.
One interesting name who the Padres have left unprotected is Dale Thayer and he may be a consideration for a team looking at relievers. He pitched in Double-A Mobile last year and led the Southern League in saves with 27.

Best Of :: People & Places
As a member of the county commission since 1993, Natacha Seijas (the former Mrs. Natacha Millan) has perfected a foolproof method of alienating people. She's mean. She's arrogant. She can throw a scowl that cracks granite. And so as she prepared to run for re-election in 2000, most political observers predicted her time was up. Her archenemy, Hialeah Mayor Raul Martinez, had made her defeat one of his top priorities. Her opponent in the commission race was Roberto Casas, a popular and affable member of the state Senate. Seijas's chances for survival were considered so slim that even some of her natural allies, such as Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas and his stable of cronies, hedged their bets by financially supporting both candidates. But in this case the pundits were wrong. Seijas worked harder than Casas, knocking on doors and acting throughout the campaign as if she were twenty points behind in the polls. Simply put, Seijas wanted it more than Casas. And she concentrated on the right issues: responding to constituent concerns, introducing an ordinance to provide higher wages for employees of companies that do business with the county, and looking out for elderly residents. If a victory by an incumbent can ever be considered an upset, then Seijas pulled off an upset last fall, winning another four-year term. She's still mean. She's still arrogant. And she's still insufferable. But you've got to hand it to her: She fought a hell of a good race.
The lady has cojones, which is more than we can say for the rest of the editorial page. Krog spends most of her time writing unsigned editorials, typically on the subject of county government. But she also pens signed opinion columns, which are sassier. For instance in a recent column she blasted Miami-Dade County Mayor Alex Penelas for opposing the hiring of Angela Gittens as the county's new aviation director. "For his political gain, Penelas is making it nearly impossible for MIA -- and therefore the public he purports to serve -- to get the strong, experienced management it needs," Krog wrote. "You have to wonder from whom Penelas is taking advice and counsel these days. I'd suggest he fire their butts."
On another occasion Krog was equally blunt toward the newest member of the school board. "It wasn't that I expected new Miami-Dade School Board member Jacqueline Pepper to start her public life with a quick display of leadership or anything," Krog allowed. "She's a political newcomer, after all, and has a lot to learn on the job. But I sure thought that for starters she'd do something smarter than hire her husband as a staff aide. It's legal, says Pepper. Sure, but it's not right."
And on the nomination by President George W. Bush of Linda Chavez as secretary of labor, Krog had this to say: "If Chavez is a victim of anything beyond her own bad judgment calls, it isn't the Beltway's witch-hunt atmosphere as she claims, but Bush's unwise selection of her in the first place."
Krog's strongest column of the past year, however, was far more personal. She wrote about the death of her father: "A few words about this man: He called dry cereal pop-nuts-scrummies.' He took in strays -- both the two-legged and four-legged varieties. He baptized a basset hound that wandered onto the place and became his adoring shadow Soupbone' for its sorry shape. He had only one usable arm after polio but played basketball, touch football, and softball with his kids on summer evenings after a long, hard day of farm work. He never whined, never complained, never looked back with regret, always leaning slightly forward into life, which he embraced and accepted for what it was -- and for what it could be."
What a difference a year makes. Back then Miami-Dade County was snubbing the Latin Grammys. Now Mayor Alex Penelas and Cuban American National Foundation chairman Jorge Mas Santos are rolling out the red carpet for the awards show. Why? Technically it's because a U.S. Supreme Court decision effectively nullified the county ordinance that barred groups that do business with Cuba from using county-owned facilities. But the real reason is simpler: Penelas, Mas Santos, and others in the Cuban-American community finally awakened to the fact that they were losing the public-relations battle for the hearts and minds of the American people. Rather than seeming sympathetic, Cuban Americans were viewed as intolerant, especially following the Elian Gonzalez affair. And Miami, rather than being the vaunted Capital of the Americas, was becoming increasingly isolated. Opening the doors to the Latin Grammys is the first step in a long-overdue effort to reverse that trend.
The smart flier used to love Fort Lauderdale's airport. Whereas Miami's airport is chaotic and crowded, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International was almost shockingly easy to navigate. Short-term parking was easy to find, so picking up and dropping off were a breeze. Long-term parking cost only three bucks per day. But Broward officials have made the tragic decision to buff up their airport, to make it more "world class." So far they've succeeded in making it more closely resemble MIA or even LaGuardia in its unwieldiness. Traffic now snakes around pylons erected to support a new terminal. Parking prices have increased across the board. Unwelcome stress has been added to the pickup and dropoff process. And inside the place, ceiling tiles are missing and escalators are shut down as workers labor to redesign terminals that were just fine the way they were. So forget it. From now on we're just taking a cab to MIA.
When asked about his New Urbanism-inspired development now under construction on Allison Island in Miami Beach -- a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood of moderate-height homes and townhouses -- Robins said what anyone offended by the condo canyon rising around South Beach longs to hear. "Everybody," he told the New York Times, "wants to build a 40-story building and sell you your shoebox in the sky without taking any responsibility for what effect a high-rise has on its surroundings."

Where do you keep your cell phone while carrying a weapon ?
Myself i wear 5.11's that have a simple pocket for it on my support side. But I've been watching some guys who carry and they have it on the same side the carry there weapon. Why ive been thinking about this is , if your draw your weapon during an incounter with a B.G. and have your gun in your right hand and your phone is in your right pocket might be tuff to get to your phone if u needed it fast .
just a thought ive been having while watching other and thought i would pass it on , hope it helps someone .
I don't normally carry a cell phone.
Right Pocket with my Car keys i vary front to rear pocket.. But since im a lefty thats best place for me
My primary gun is just behind my right hip, IWB carry. My secondary is usually in my left hand front pocket. Cellphone is carried in a Uncle Mikes nylon cellphone holder, clipped to my belt on left hip.
Carrying a cell phone is imperative if ever in a need to use your weapon. I do carry mine on my opposite side of my carry piece most of the time but to me the threat is an all more important task to take care of at the moment, 911 is the very next step.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
When I have one, it's on my left side somewhere (usually in a pocket). Hadn't thought about the need to draw the phone fast, but it's something to consider.
eschew obfuscation
The only thing that stops bad guys with guns is good guys with guns. SgtD
In winter months it lives in my open shirt top pocket - this time of year when the vest is my concealement cover - lower left pocket in front. Trouble is that means mouse BUG (NAA) has to live strong side!
As I posted tho in another recent thread - lot of darned good it'll be in many spots round here - with near zero signal

If you don't have one get a cheapie $19.95 phone & buy some minutes for it. There may be possible times when you will need to be the first person to call 911 to report an incident.
That being said I stuff mine into any available pocket anong with other assorted crap & mine looks like it was found on a battlefield but, what the heck...it's only a doggone plastic phone and not a priceless art object. I don't care what it looks like as long as it works.
Left hip, generally just in front of the front pocket.
I agree with previous posters.....comm is critical (countless battles have been lost due to degraded or insufficient comms). Remember that private citizens or off-duty LEO's won't have the advantage of having a radio on-person or in a radio/squad car to call for the cavalry. So that cell phone maybe all that's available.
....make sure it's charged too!
USAF: Loving Our Obscene Amenities Since 1947
Clipped to left front pocket. Take that cell phone everywhere. Leave it by the bed at night. It can prevent a shooting. It can also summon the cavalry.
Don't leave home without one and it's clipped to my left pants pocket or next to me in the car.
Clipped to left front belt, 5 inches in front of mag holder... It is bad form to try to reload a Glock or 1911 with your cell phone, although a guy at the range the other day almost succeeded!
My weapon covers part of my front right pockrt so I carry my cell phone in the left front pocket.
It's easy to have 911 access with a cell phone, even without having service activated with a carrier. Any cell phone, if it's workable and the battery is charged, will work for 911, even when it is not activated with a carrier.
If you don't have cell phone service, get someone's old phone when they upgrade, keep it charged up and use it for 911 only.
I carry my phone in my left front pants pocket right along with my car keys. My pants are loose enough I kinda forget its in there sometimes.

TAMMY AND MATTHEW'S WEDDINGApril, 2009 in Hoboken
"Got married in Hoboken at 3Forty Gill right on Sinatra Drive. Our guests stayed at the W Hoboken which is a block away from 3Forty. We had our rehearsal lunch at Arthurs Tavern and even managed to fit a night in NYC with our friends. Hoboken is a great place to get married. . . so much to do without ever needing a car! Our guests had a great city wedding experience without going broke!"

"Amazing experience at 3Forty. Patrizia took good care of us . . . she was a pleasure to work with. The guests raved about the food (which is funny b/c I don't normally love the food here). . . the presentation of the food was beautiful! The staff was amazing. The view was breathtaking. We had drinks and the ceremony in the bar section, then moved everyone over to the ohter side for dinner and then back over to the bar side for dancing! They hooked me up with their house DJ as well who did a great job!! I felt the price was reasonable - - our wedding was so classy with a city feel. I just loved everything about it. I can't say enough about 3Forty. I would recommend it to ANYONE. I have no complaints whatsoever!"

"After months of concern that the W might not be open in time for our wedding guests all ended up working out! The hotel had only been open for 3 weeks when we had our guests stay here. THey did an amazing job making all our guests feel wonderful. By the end of the weekend I knew many of the serivce staff by their first name. We splurged on a suite and it was the best idea we had -- we ended up taking many of our wedding pictures from our suite and from our balcony (with its great views of NYC!) They worked out a great rate with us also. . . much less than what lower rated hotels in Jersey City were able to offer! Our guests loved the hotel. . . . it was walking distance to downtown Hoboboken and also to the PATH. Overall, a wonderful hotel and a great experience."

Personally i prefer Ronda to Tate. That said though if you took Tate's tits and stuck them on Rousey that would be cool.
All that is irrelevant though because Carano will always be hotter than both combined.

For a long time I thought women on the show would get me interested in TUF again.
I was wrong. No interest in this season what so ever.
typical you get women involved in TUF and there becomes relationship drama. think it was disgusting of rousey to go up to tates boyfriend and stir things up. low. bitchy and pathetic the whole things been so far, but somewhat entertaining.
Fair play to the UFC for trying to make changes to what has clearly become a stale show.
Not sure adding women & the focus on relationships is designed to appeal to me, rather going after the Geordie Shore market who seem to love all that BS. Still going to watch for the fights & have an interest in seeing the training but tune out the rest.
It's hard to say what is more damaging to MMA; turning TUF into a soap opera or blokes on forums discussing female fighters' looks etc rather than their abilities.
Presenting TUF the way it is will only help grow their fan base as it now appeals to the Geordie Shore/ TOWIE? Big Brother type audience but will still get the regulars tuning in to see fights.
Gonna try and be careful with the way i word the next point as i'm torture for not getting my point accross but men judging women by their looks helped speed along the growth of women's MMA.
Despite their talent, the biggest selling points of both Carano and Rousey were their looks. Rousey has herself said this.
I'm not taking anything away from them as athletes but what those two had/have was a sort of action movie/video game feel to them in that they are smoking hot but kick most people's asses. Add this with the promotional team at Zuffa (speaking solely about Rousey at this point) and it was a perfect recipe for a star.
There will be all the purists that will shout "oh i liked WMMA for years..." but it will always be looked back on as Rousey that sped things along to getting them in the UFC and despite all her talent which she has bags of, her looks played a big part in that.
Tate will be finished the same way as the first fight. Rousey's grappling was far superior and Tate was pushing her punches from the opening bell and her emotion had her out of position from the get-go. So much for her superior striking. Should be a great fight though.

Strike Could Halt D.C.'s Paratransit Service
MetroAccess may be on the verge of its first strike, potentially stranding the hundreds of disabled residents who rely on the service for their daily appointments.
Walk into Art Enables—a gallery and studio on Rhode Island Avenue NE—and you'll find 57-year-old Clem Evans quietly painting. For Evans and the other 32 self-taught artists who come here two or three times a week, MetroAccess is their lifeline. Without it, the two-time stroke victim says he would just sit at home without his brushes and colors.
"If I try to go by myself, it might take me a long time to get here, and if I walk on a sidewalk I might step in a pothole," he says.
The contract between the union for the 450 MetroAccess workers and the contractors that run the service expired June 30. The union claims the contractors want to cut the workers pay in a new contract. Mary Liniger, the executive director of Art Enables, says a strike would prevent her clients from getting to the studio to paint—but she can't seem to get a straight answer from anyone as to whether a strike is imminent.
"Not only can the artists not get to their job, this is a place of identity for our artists," Liniger says. "This is their job and their work. What will happen during the day? Will people just sit at home? There are a lot of people with disabilities in D.C. and so they really do rely on MetroAccess. It's alarming. We've left some messages and the contractors we've talked to, it's been very, very confusing. No answers."
Metro released a statement saying that MetroAccess service is provided under contract by several vendors. The statement says officials with the transit authority are in contact with the vendors and have expressed their expectation that those vendors continue to deliver safe and reliable service for the MetroAccess customers who depend upon it.
WAMU 88.5 reached out to one contractor, Veolia Transportation, but calls were not returned. Union president Wayne Baker also did not respond to requests for comment.

|Cargotec wins Indian order for enclosed unloader
|Friday, 11 November 2011 11:11
Cargotec has received an order for a Siwertell ship unloader type ST790-D from the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative (IFFCO), Paradeep Unit. The enclosed screw-type unloader will be used to discharge rock phosphate and sulphur at a rated capacity of 1,800 tonnes per hour.
Cargotec's Siwertell Sulphur Safety System (4S) was developed to minimise the risk of explosions and detect fires. The 4S is designed to prevent sulphur dust explosions in the conveying line and to evacuate explosion pressure in case a dust explosion does occur, without causing damage to equipment and endangering the safety of operators, personnel and other facilities. To prevent explosions and fires, the Siwertell unit is equipped with nozzles that spray water at the inlet feeder and in the conveyor transfer points. An automatic lubrication system lubricates and cools end bearings and intermediate bearings.
A specially designed conveying line with stainless steel components ensures that a Siwertell unit is protected from corrosion and it is also practically maintenance-free. Components for IFFCO's system will be manufactured in Sweden and China for erection on site in Paradeep Port, Orissa, India. With a delivery time of 12 months, the unloader is expected to be in operation by early 2013.
For further information contact:Cargotec, Finland Web: www.cargotec.com

Your physician or speech-language pathologist will select which exercises are useful to improving your swallowing function. If an exercise is not selected, do not attempt it without consulting your medical team. They will develop a program customized and unique to the needs of each patient. This includes the number of repetitions, the number of seconds each exercise should be performed, and the rest period between exercises. A two page PDF (located at the bottom of this webpage) should be printed by your clinician where they will customize your swallowing exercise routine.
This information (instruction and videos), unless other noted, have been provided to the NFOSD by the UC Davis Health System, Department of Otolaryngology. The material is copyrighted. All rights associated with this copyrighted material will be enforced. It is being made available free of charge to all physicians and speech language pathologists to be used by their patients. This material is also available on the iPhone and iPad using the free iSwallow™ app.
1. Effortful Swallow: Collect all the saliva in your mouth onto the center of your tongue. Keep your lips closed and tight together. Pretend you are swallowing a grape whole in one big, hard swallow. The number of repetitions is patient specific.
2. Isokinetic (dynamic) Shaker: The number of repetitions defined by your clinician is considered a set. You should perform the set twice (resting briefly between each set). You should then rest for two minutes and then repeat this exercise as many times as directed by your clinician. Ignore the number of repetitions and sets as directed in the video. Click here for Video. The number of repetitions and sets are patient specific.
3. Isometric (static) Shaker: Click here for Video. The length of each repetition and the number of repetitions is set by your clinician. Rest for one minute between repetitions.
4. Jaw Thrust: Move your lower jaw as far forward as you can. Your lower teeth should be in front of your upper teeth. Click here for Video. Note, patients with jaw replacement should use extra caution before performing this exercise so as not to stress the jaw bone. The length of time for each repetition and number of repetitions is patient specific.
5. Lollipop Swallowing: Click here for Video. Place a sugarless lollipop in your mouth and lick. Lick three times and then do an effortful swallow with your lips firmly pressed together. Swallow as hard as you can. The number of repetitions is patient specific.
6. Masako Maneuver: Stick your tongue out of your mouth between your front teeth and gently bite down to hold it in place. Swallow while keeping your tongue gently between your teeth. You can let go of your tongue between swallows and repeat. Click here for Video. The number of repetitions is patient specific.
7. Mendelsohn Maneuver: Place your middle three fingers (index, middle, ring) on your Adam's Apple (the skin in front of your neck beneath your chin). Swallow once to practice. Feel your Adams Apple slide upward as you swallow. Now, swallow again and when your Adam's Apple gets to its highest position in the throat, squeeze your throat muscles and hold it as high as you can for as long as your clinician has directed for this exercise (or as long as you can if you can't hold it for this length of time). Click here for Video. The length of time for each repetition and number of repetitions is patient specific.
8. Supraglottic Maneuver: Perform this exercise if and only if directed by your clinician. Your clinician should also provide direction as to the position of your head (tucked, right, left, straight). Collect a small bit of saliva in mouth. Take a deep breath and hold your breath (if the vocal folds are not closed then try to inhale and say ah, turn off your voice and hold your breath). Keep holding your breath while you swallow. Immediately after you swallow, cough. Practice with saliva prior to food or liquid. Click here for Video. The number of repetitions is patient specific.
9. Tongue Exercise (Part A): Stick your tongue out as far as possible. Hold it steady in that position for the length of time directed by your clinician. Try to stick your tongue out slightly farther after each attempt.
10. Tongue Range of Motion (Part B): Hold your chin firmly in your right or left hand and slowly stick your tongue as far towards the corner of your mouth as you can. Move is as far to the right side as possible without moving your chin. Keeping your tongue protruded, move it slowly to the left side and alternates the right and left side 5 times. This is considered one set. The number of sets is patient specific.
11. Vocal Exercise: Say "eee" in as low a pitch as possible and then gradually raise the pitch of your voice until the highest tone possible. Hold this tone for the length of time directed by your clinician.
Additional resources for swallowing specialists:
1) Click Here to open a two page PDF which can then be printed and customized for each patient. Although you could save a copy of this on your computer, the NFOSD is requesting that you not do so for two reasons.
A) We are continually evolving this set of exercises, videos, and tools. If you save a version on your computer, you will be less apt to come to our website for each patient and may miss out on important updates.
B) We are trying to raise the awareness of swallowing disorders to the patient, professional, and congressional (and other potential research funding sources) communities for a variety of reasons. Building up our ongoing website traffic is a demonstration to potential research funding sources that dysphagia is a disorder that is generally misunderstood, under-diagnosed, and improperly treated.
2) If you have suggestions on how to make this tool easier to use or to add additional exercises (which will be vetted by our foundation board and medical advisors), please click to be directed to our "contact" page. We are striving to make this a tool which will work for all SLPs and their respective patients which could benefit from a set of oral exercises.

Chemical companies Albemarle, Chemtura and ICL just announced today that they will phase out their flame retardant Deca-BDE even though it has been deemed safe for years by scientific studies
The companies have committed to end production, importation, and sales of deca BDE for most uses in the United States by December 31, 2012, and to end all uses by the end of 2013.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it has long been concerned about its impact on human health and the environment and asked the three producers to voluntantarily phase out the chemical.
Albemarle said there are other "environmentally sound and safe" substitutes for the flame retardant that are available today. The company notes its newly launched polymer-based flame retardant technology GreenArmor, which is said to be a recyclable and eco-friendly alternative to decabrom technology.
"Our investment in this new fire safety technology demonstrates Albemarle's commitment to constantly seek higher-performing, sustainable alternatives to existing fire safety products," said Tony Parnell, vice president of the company's polymer solutions division.
GreenArmor™ will be commercially available in late 2010 under the company's new Earthwise line of eco-friendly chemicals. The company said it is developing a portfolio of other sustainable fire safety and chemical solutions for diverse industries.
Chemtura noted on its letter to the EPA that it will complete a phase-out of decaBDE production by the end of 2012 except for certain uses, which will be discontinued by the end of 2013. The phase-out will focus first on consumer applications such as electronics and home furnishings followed by other applications.
The company promised not to stockpile inventories for future sale.
ICL said it will focus first on imports and sales for electrical and electronic equipment, which they will discontinue by December 31, 2010. Imports and sale to other markets will be phase out by the end of 2012.

Elise Testone Eliminated on 'American Idol'
Elise Testone was finally eliminated from Season 11 of 'American Idol' tonight (April 26). We say "finally" not because we did not enjoy her smoky, husky voice or her offbeat, edgy and rock 'n' roll song choices throughout the course of the season, but because the singer has been camped out in the bottom of the voting multiple times. The odds seemed to indicate that she would eventually be voted off since she set up residence in the lower tier more often than not.

'American Idol' Recap: Top 8 Tackle the '80s
On tonight's episode of 'American Idol,' the Top 8 tackled the '80s. While the '80s is a fun decade, full of excess and larger-than-life-ness, the Idols focused on the ballad side of the spectrum. Again, it was a little snoozy, with slow song after slow song. The producers wisely paired the contestants up for duets that were sprinkled throughout the individual perfs, to add some life and livelihood to the proceedings.
Here is your PopCrush recap on how the Idols had their way with the '80s.

Facebook Offers Reusable Gift Card That Holds Balances From Different Retailers
The 'Facebook Card' can be used to give friends gifts from Jamba Juice, Olive Garden, Sephora, and Target all at once.
Facebook has introduced a new type of gift card for people to purchase for their friends. The 'Facebook Card', which will roll out gradually across the U.S., is a physical card that enables users to buy gifts from Jamba Juice, Olive Garden, Sephora, and Target stores.
The card, which features 'Facebook' on the front instead of a store name, is reusable and supports multiple gift balances. To buy it, simply select a gift from the Gift Cards & Digital category and choose the value you want to spend.
After you complete your purchase, your friend will be instantly notified and will receive the Facebook Card in the mail a few days later. They can then use the card at the retailer you've selected for the amount you've gifted.
The next time they get a Facebook Card gift, it will instantly be added to the existing card, with each balance dedicated to the retailer associated with the gift. Gift balances can be viewed in your Facebook account settings from a computer or mobile device and Facebook will send out real-time notifications to let you know when your balances change.

Social Pairing Unlocks The Power Of Our Networks [Need To Know: SXSWi]
PSFK is following five trends during SXSWi, we chat with an innovator in this space who talks about how we can leverage already-existing data to find hidden connections with 'Social Pairing.'
As we all begin to look forward to the Interactive section of South By South West in March, PSFK has identified five key trends that readers should be monitoring during the festival. One of these trends we have coined 'Social Pairing.'
People with similar interests, hobbies and needs can get to meet today through smart services that use a mix of social, location and demographic data to match profiles. Networks are looking at their member's profiles on their site and across the social graph and linking people up based on interests, needs and location.
To explore this idea further, we spoke with Brett Martin, the Co-Founder and CEO of Sonar, a location-based mobile application that leverages social network data to reveal hidden connections and interests you share with the people nearby.
What do you think is driving this trend of 'Social Pairing'?
Both technology-driven and behavioral trends are changing how people connect. The amount of data available to identify ways in which people may be connected to one another has grown astronomically, and the barrier to accessing/sharing this data has been lifted with portable identity through Facebook Connect and Twitter Sign In. These technologies create ease of use for the consumer by shortening the sign up process, and improved conversion and user data for the service.
Technology innovation drives collaboration, and vice versa. When two people meet at an event, they're able to publicly acknowledge one another, collaborate on projects. When friends or strangers team up for activities like funding artists or inventors on Kickstarter, eating meals together via Grubwithus or sharing music via Spotify it often plays out in public on social channels, creating virality.
People currently realize a small fraction of the value of their networks. Unlocking the power of our networks, in real time, will generate tremendous value. Need a restaurant recommendation in Paris, a developer for your startup in San Francisco, or an iPhone charger in midtown? Somewhere in your network, someone has the ability to connect you to what you need; it's just a matter of time before technology enables you to identify the right person, at the right place, and the right time.
These systems drive tremendous efficiencies. People can connect in a way (and at a speed) that would have taken a large amount of effort (and time) before. In your opinion, what are the areas where we could see big change using such linking technology?
Social pairing lubricates markets by reducing transaction costs. We've already seen an impact on lending and funding through services like Kiva and Prosper, but education is another area that has a lot of promise for innovation based on peer-to-peer collaboration. Skillshare and SideTour are two great examples of the democratization of education, and there could be some industries where today's concept of accreditation could disappear completely. Trust engendered by online reputation validates the model, another great byproduct of the massive amounts of data from online networks.
Recruiting, through LinkedIn, Hirelite, and even Facebook, is another great example. Zaarly, TaskRabbit, Airbnb and Getaround all demonstrate the future of marketplaces. Music, entertainment and restaurant discovery are all becoming more personalized experiences, curated through each individual's network. We're really only at the early stages of tapping into frictionless or implicit social sharing.
What talks and events should PSFK readers be looking out for in Austin in terms of 'Social Pairing'?
We're speaking on a panel about serendipity, that everyone should be sure to catch. Also, there's a panel on collaborative consumption that looks pretty interesting. But SXSW Interactive is all about interacting! Keep the panels to a minimum and run around talking to other attendees, meeting new people and connecting with people you already know but don't get the time to hang out with. I know this app called Sonar that's great for helping with that…
Thanks Brett!

The MultiPlus is a powerful true sine wave inverter , a sophisticated battery charger that features adaptive charge technology, and a high-speed AC transfer switch in a single compact enclosure. Next to these primary functions, the MultiPlus has several advanced features, as outlined below.
The main output has no-break functionality. The MultiPlus takes over the supply to the connected loads in the event of a grid failure or when shor/generator power is disconnected. This happens so fast (less than 20 milliseconds) that computers and other electronic equipment will continue to operate without disruption. The second output is live only when AC is available on one of the inpust of the MultPlus. Loads that should not discharget the battery, like a waer heater for example, can be connected to this output (second output available on models rated at 3kVA and more).
Up to 6 Multis can operate in parallel to achieve higher poer output. Six 24/5000/120 units, for example, will proied 25kVA / 30 kVA output power with 720 Amps charging capacity.
In addition to parallel connection, three units of the same model can be configured for three-phase output. But that's not all: up to 6 sets of three units can be parallel connected for a huge 75 kVA / 90 kVA inverter and more than 2000 Amps charging capacity.

Relax and enjoy the peace and quiet from our Back Lake cottage retreat.
Westwood is a fully furnished lakefront cottage on pristine Back Lake In Pittsburg, NH. Enjoy Canoeing or Kayaking from your front door. Fish from the dock or enjoy a beautiful sunset.Swim at the sandy beach a stones throw away. Direct snowmobile access on the lake or from land. Direct ATV Trail Access! Store your toys in the garage.
I can't imagine staying anywhere else if we returned to the Pittsburg area. This rental was everything we had hoped it would be and more. The camp had all the comforts of home but still had the rustic charm we were looking for in a vacation rental. We loved being able to make some of our meals at home and then relax in the recliners in front of the gas fireplace. The camp and yard were spotless and is obviously very well cared for. The location is perfect - easy access to restaurants, food shopping, hiking trails and Moose Alley (also the ATV/snowmobile trail access is just across the road). Nikki could not have made the rental process easier or more pleasant. She checked in to be sure our stay was great before we even made it home!
For dinner we highly recommend Tracy's Hillside Grille - it was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Their cheese battered fried brocolli appetizer was easily the best vegetable dish I have ever eaten! We also ate at Buck Rub Pub (not so good but it might have just been what we ordered) and at Rainbow Grille at Tall Timber Resort which is just a short walk from the camp (dinner there was fabulous and a little more "fancy"). We heard that breakfast at Happy Corner Cafe was delicious but never got there ourselves.
We recommend the hikes to Fourth CT Lake, Garfield Falls, Mt Magalloway Tower, Falls in the River, and Johnson Memorial Forest (this is an easy "woodland walk" just across from the fire station on Rt 3). Easy access to Colebrook and the Dixville Notch area via Route 145. Also make sure to visit the East Inlet (especially if you plan to kayak). We saw a moose cow with a calf right on the side of Rt 3. We also saw a grey fox, deer, and tons of cool birds. The dock was great for fishing. If you love bird/animal watching, hunting, fishing, kayaking, beautiful scenery, waterfalls, etc. this is the perfect place! Make sure you get a map of the area that includes the logging roads so you can really get out there and explore (we bought ours for $3.50 at the Tall Timber Resort just down the road).
Spent Memorial Day Weekend at the Cottage. Loved the Cottage, nice and cozy with all the comforts of home. Peaceful settingGreat for a weekend getaway!
My husband and I had a wonerful and peaceful weekend at the cottage. The cottage was just as promised and the weather was great. Hillary is a pleasure to work with and answers all requests in a timely manner. We cannot wait to return next year.
Nicely kept property. Very clean and in order when we arrived. Great space in living area, kitchen and enclosed porch facing the lake. We enjoyed the firepit, views and used the dock for out pontoon boat. A nice place for 2 adults and or a couple of kids. The bedrooms and bath were very small. Very close to dining and other area attractions.
Had a wonderful time at cottage. Location was great-beautiful view of lake. Cottage was neat clean and everything worked. Look forward to going again.
B. Sullivan
An excellent vacation spot. The house was very clean and well kept and equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. Everything is clean and in wonderful shape. Great access to the lake. Perfect area for anything you may want to do in Pittsburgh or surrounding areas.
Pittsburg , NH is the outdoor enthusiast dream. Boating, Hiking, moose watching and sightseeing are just a few of the activities this area offers. Pittsburg is the snowmobile capitol of the east. ATV enthusiast will enjoy the miles of great riding.Hunters and fisherman will enjoy the vast private land and waterways.

CCRI seeks nonprofits interested in participating in seventh annual service day
Dec. 20, 2012
If you are a nonprofit organization that could use a little elbow grease from a group of willing volunteers in April, the Community College of Rhode Island would like to hear from you.
CCRI will hold its seventh annual Community Service Day on Tuesday, April 9, at several nonprofit organizations across the state. The day was designed to give back to the communities in the towns surrounding the college's four main campuses in Lincoln, Providence, Warwick and Newport and its satellite campus in Westerly.
Past projects at other nonprofits across the state have included interior painting and cleaning; landscaping and outdoor beautification; inventory cataloging; sorting donated food and clothing; working with clients and more.
The nonprofit agency decides the number of volunteers the site can accommodate, identifies the projects, and provides tools such as rakes, paint brushes and paint to complete the job. The college provides an army of T-shirt-clad student, staff and faculty helpers as well as lunch for volunteers and key agency coordinators.
To accommodate our students' and employees' class and work schedules, the college offers morning and afternoon shifts, though many volunteers stay the entire day. CCRI also provides a site coordinator for each location to serve as liaison with the nonprofit, organize the shifts and supervise the volunteers.
If your nonprofit can accommodate at least 10 volunteers and you would be interested in being considered as a site for CCRI's Community Service Day, please ask your executive director or chief administrative officer to fill out the online form by Tuesday, Jan. 15. A member of the Community Service Day committee will be in touch with all who apply.

Chanel Rouge Allure in Coromondel ($34) is a beautiful red with a slight shimmery pearl texture. Long-time Chanel lovers may recall that Chanel released a nail polish with the same name a few years back. Now the name is back, in a slightly different red, in a highly pigmented, highly moisturizing lipstick formula. Like Dior Ara Red, Chanel Coromandel is unapologetic, bold, and gorgeous. Swatches with the other Chanel Rouge Allure Intense lipsticks that I currently have:
Here is Liz wearing Chanel Coromandel along with the Nars Andy Warhol Flowers 1 palette on her eyes and Nars Andy Warhol Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Silver Factor as a messy below-the-eye eyeliner. She's also wearing Chanel Tweed Fucshia blush.
As you can see, Chanel Coromandel leans a touch warm (although not as warm as Chanel Incandescente). Close up:
Bottom line: So far, so good. These seem more pigmented and intense to me than the former Rouge Allure line. Also, they feel more moisturizing. I'm looking forward to exploring some of the cooler-toned and neutral shades. Chanel Coromandel is an awesome color for a bold, confident and glamourous look.
Disclosure: Nars sent the Nars/Andy Warhol Flowers 1 Palette and Nars Soft Touch Shadow Pencil Silver Factory without charge for consideration for review.

TUNIS, March 04. /ITAR-TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov expects that Western partners will understand that threats of sanctions against Russia are counterproductive.
"We have always been against unilateral sanctions. They have never come to any good," the foreign minister said on Tuesday.
"I hope our partners will understand that this policy is counterproductive," he added.
