Drowning Cases Reported In Odisha And Suggestions By Experts To Prevent Them!
It must have never struck the imagination of the nine IT professionals from Bengaluru that their swimming amusement in the waters of Konark's Chandrabhaga beach on October 22 would turn into their lives' worst nightmare. Even worse, the sea would irreversibly claim the life of one their friends.
As these techies, under training at the IT firm Mindtree's Bhubaneswar centre had been to Konark on a sight-seeing trip, they visited the nearest Chandrabhaga beach. The beach also happens to be one of the favourite beach attractions among young tourists travelling to Odisha. But unfortunately, for these young men and women, when they stepped into the water for bathing, one of the girls named Mansa N S was swept away by a strong current only to return dead from the sea.
Certainly not a rare case of accidental drowning, this incident, like several others, indicates how drowning cases have been on a rise across different water bodies of Odisha. In fact, a brief look at the number of registered cases of drowning in the month of October itself will point towards the frequency of occurrence of such events. At least, three separate incidents from Angul, Baliapanda block and Puri were reported in the same month with nearly six people losing their lives. The cases reported from Puri and Baliapanda were of two tourists from West Bengal who drowned in the sea while taking a bath. One accident took place near Swargadwar under Sea Beach police station jurisdiction, whereas another mishap occurred in Baliapanda area where the victims were swept away by strong current.
Similarly, a few cases were reported in the month of September too while a number of mishaps were reported in August including two major cases that grabbed much of media attention. Three students of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Bhubaneswar, who had been to the banks of Mahanadi banks to take a bath at Gadagadiaghat in Cuttack, drowned on the afternoon of August 30.
Similarly, on August 28, two inmates of a child care institution drowned in the Kendrapara canal within the limits of Jagatpur police station. Though drowning has been a cause for unnatural accidental injuries and deaths, the spate in the drowning accidents not only in Odisha but all over India points towards an adamant disregard to warnings by the public and a lackadaisical attitude to fill in loopholes in security provision by the administration.
Figuring at 9.4 percent, drowning has been the second major reason of unnatural deaths in the country next to traffic accidents in 2014. It can be assumed that approximately 75 – 80 people drown each day on an average when the standard figure of drowning cases recorded is more or less 29,400 every year according to the data released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) for five years up till 2014.
Odisha, along with some other coastal states, ranks high on the list of the nationwide figures of unintentional deaths due to drowning. NCRB's 2014 report registered some 794 deaths from drowning in Odisha poised against the national total of 29,903 in the same year. The numbers, therefore, corroborate the frequent reporting of such incidents in media.
Blessed with a beautiful coastline, Odisha's beaches have always been a major attraction for tourists travelling to Odisha. While Puri, being the abode of Lord Jagannath, welcomes the maximum inflow of tourists from all over the state and outside, other beaches like Gopalpur and Chandrabhaga also find tourists flocking in all round the year. But with such huge number of tourists preferring to head to these beaches for having fun, these pockets also pose to be the most vulnerable spots for drowning incidents to happen.
But let alone the popular seaside destinations, riverside of the famous rivers of Odisha too are infamous for the occurrence of such incidents. The riversides of Mahanadi and Kathajodi in Cuttack and Daya river in Bhubaneswar register many drowning mishaps.
The reports generally inform that the majority of drowning victims are males. 23,166 males as compared to 6,736 females died of drowning in 2014. In a similar ratio, out of the 794 deaths from drowning that occurred in Odisha in the same year, 569 were males. Furthermore, children too face a significant risk from exposure to small or bigger water bodies, though not very high.
But, most of the drowning deaths are seen to happen among the youngsters in the age group of 18 to 45 years in natural water settings like the sea, rivers, lakes and ponds. "Since places like the sea beach or a river bank are considered ideal locations for a picnic or party where people can also have fun in the water, slight negligence can turn these places as the most vulnerable points for water accidents to happen," says Cuttack based International rescue diver and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) instructor, Sabir Bux.
As per the NCRB report of 2014, of the 794 odd cases of drowning deaths in Odisha, 273 deaths occurred due to accidental falls into water body compared to the 15 deaths that resulted from boat capsizing.
The main factors affecting the risk of accidental drowning point towards the unpredictably of sea currents and under water currents, a lack of noticeable barriers to restrict access to water in unsupervised territories, lack of close supervision while swimming, irresponsible entry into water with a lack of swimming ability, the location, influence of alcohol consumption and failure to wear life jackets or any safety gear.
Having an experience of more than 25 years in diving and rescue operations, Bux feels that the waters have become increasingly unpredictable owing to the global warming phenomenon. "Earlier there were specific times when certain currents would flow. It was much easier to understand the pattern and step into the water. But today it is definitely out of bounds for a common man," he says.
As Bux clearly points out, lack of proper signage or warning boards at potentially dangerous points and lack of adequate supervision at these spots are major reasons behind these accidents. "Though the administration is now slowly waking up to the gravity of the situation, it is still far from doing the needful. Safe and unsafe bathing zones are not clearly demarcated and there is normally no fencing to keep away wanderers."
But what Bux finds surprising is that many people enter the water without the minimum ability to swim. Tempted by a sense of adventure or provoked by friends when in a group, they are lured by the excitement of taking a plunge in these vast water bodies.
"To this, alcohol consumption among the adults and adolescents is associated with almost 80% of the deaths during water recreation. Alcohol influences a person's physical balance, coordination, and mental judgement. They become uncontrollable and disobey all warnings. Exposure to heat and sun after alcohol intake heightens its effect putting the individual at the risk of drowning," warns the expert diver.
So, do all these factors point to a solution that increasing supervision and tightening of security near these water bodies can help?
"Not exactly!" says lifeguard Harry, stationed at the Puri Beach, who feels that the foremost responsibility of safety lies in the hands of people themselves. "One should always be aware and look for signs or instructions before venturing into the water. Most of them get carried away by fun and do not act sensibly. They usually argue with the locals or lifeguards who warn them if the water is dangerous in a particular spot or time. This becomes a big challenge for the lifeguards to save people from an imminent case of drowning," informs the lifeguard.
Both Bux and Harry feel disappointed that despite many complaints, the government is yet to respond with any urgency to make the beaches and riversides safer. In their opinion, the measures taken are mostly inadequate for the safety and security of the tourists who come for sea or river bathing.
"Although these days, the state government has provided sufficient man power for the beaches, it is not distributed properly among all designated places. There are around 400 working lifeguards of which 96 have been appointed by the government but many of the lifeguards are not properly trained. In some of the extreme cases, lifeguards cannot save the life of a victim all by themselves. They need the support of some equipments which are not available in adequate quantities. The equipments should generally include awareness boards, walky-talky, mega phones, live bike, rescue tube, rescue boat, high sped craft, and all terrain bikes. Not only that, even after being rescued, many lose their lives as there is no immediate medical assistance available for them. There is a serious requirement of ambulance or a patrolling jeep with first aid facilities. Besides, police assistance booths on the beach, proper lighting and allotment of quick response teams together account for proper beach management that we still lack in," explains Harry.
The authorities, however, point towards an arrogant negligence on the part of youngsters while arguing that take all likely measures to bring down these instances.
Inspector in charge of Puri Sea Beach Police Station, Prabhat Mallik says, "We are taking all the possible steps to reduce drowning deaths. Recently on October 25th, we held a workshop on drowning issues for officers and personnels concerned. It was decided in the same meeting that the Puri sea beach will be divided in four zones according to the degree of vulnerability in that particular zone. There will be a 'no-bathing zone', 'unsafe bathing zone', 'assisted bathing zone' and 'bathing zone'. We have also appointed around 96 life guards to assist people and save them from drowning, and all of them will have their duties distributed across the 14 zones of the beach. Although, our lifeguards do not have any advanced equipment yet, we are trying to provide them with the facilities as soon as we can."
However, District Fire Officer of Puri B.K. Panda tells MCL team that there are many challenges that they face while conducting a rescue operation. "Most of the time when we receive information about the incident, it is generally after the person has drowned. As a person can survive under water only for five to seven minutes at the most, it is impossible to save them by the time we reach the spot. So to address this problem, we have appointed lifeguards in such places, which has proved to be successful so far," he says.
But he is quick to point out that the biggest challenge remains convincing people not to go into the waters during high tide. The other challenge, of course, is the shortage of life saving equipment at their disposal. Also, though a convenient arrangement, training the locals to undertake rescue operations is difficult in the face of disinterest on their part as there is no incentive for them to engage in such dangerous activities.
However, after frequent drowning incidents in Cuttack's Mahanadi and Kathjodi rivers, the Cuttack District Administration has undertaken certain measures to reduce these accidents. District Collector Nirmal Chandra Mishra has recently informed the media about the several warning signboards and barricades that they have installed along the river side road to prohibit adventurous venturing into the river.
The deaths apart, drowning causes severe injuries to those who survive the incident. About self protection measures, Bux says, "Being a life guard, I would like to suggest that without knowing swimming, one should not go under water. In worst case, victim should keep breathing under water and put all efforts to exercise his/her hand and leg to float there.
Sabir Bux gives us some general tips to heed when you sense danger.
- Obviously, the first thing to remember is not to panic! Try to stay as relaxed as possible. Tense muscles use up more oxygen than relaxed muscles, and staying oxygenated is very important.
- Keep your head up and try to breathe normally. The body floats better when the lungs are full of air, but do avoid hyperventilating.
- Toss away anything weighing you down such as shoes or bags.
- Attract attention of the people around, by shouting, waving and/or splashing water (to the extent you are able to).
- If you are tired, try to lie on your back and tilt your head back as well so your eyes look at the sky.
- Never go for a swim alone, make sure you've got a group along.
Adding further he says, "In case you are witnessing the incident, 'Do Not' attempt to rescue the drowning person by entering the water if you have not been trained as you will be endangering yourself. Rather, throw a flotation device such as a rescue tube and life jacket, or extend a long pole for the drowning person to hold onto."
Since accidents in the water can cause major spinal, neck, or head injuries, be careful to keep the head and neck of the victim still. One may also begin resuscitation/CPR if there is no spontaneous breathing or pulse.

Max Sandlin, former congressman, to speak at DWU conference
Just a week after the November election, the annual McGovern Conference will analyze the possible fallout of this year's negative campaigning and the effects it might have on the operation of the country.
The 2012 McGovern Conference will focus on "Moving Beyond Political Polarization: How Can Congress Best Serve the Nation in the Coming Decade?"
The one-day annual event held on the campus of Dakota Wesleyan University will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m on Nov. 12 in the Sherman Center. The conference is sponsored by the McGovern Center and is open to the public. Online registration is available at mcgoverncenter.com/conference/.
"The intensely negative campaigning and political polarization appears to be taking a toll. Pollsters are now reporting that Americans are tuning out and have a decidedly more negative view of politicians and their campaigns," said Don Simmons, dean of the College of Leadership and Public Service at DWU and director of the McGovern Center. "Many are wondering how it will be possible for the two major political parties to work together in Congress to pass much-needed legislation once the mud-slinging campaign season is over. We want to address that issue at this year's conference."
Keynote presenters for the conference will be former members of Congress Gil Gutknecht, R-Minn., and Max Sandlin, D-Texas.
Gutknecht, an Iowa native, was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1982. He served for 12 years until 1994, when he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served from 1995 to 2007.
Sandlin served eight years (1997-2005) in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Democratic Congressman representing Texas District 1. Sandlin's wife is former South Dakota U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin.
Other program participants will include political party leaders, representatives of the media and policymakers discussing how Congress can get back on track and move beyond polarization.
"Anyone who loves politics can't afford to miss this conference," Simmons said.

- "This has a really great flavor to it and pairs well with any tortilla chip." in 6 reviews
I never thought Chile con queso in a jar could stand up to homemade but this stuff is so good. I now just usually pop open a jar and heat, it's addicting and never lasts long when I put it out to snack on. We always have a jar handy cause it's craved often, it's great on just about anything veggies, burritos and anything that could use a little kick. It's not exactly healthy but it's very tasty.
My favorite nacho dip since when I was a kid! Love the creamy nacho cheese with chunks of jalapeno and peppers. Nostalgic and delicious. I love how convenient this is, you can eat it straight out of the jar or heated up. Goes great with some chips, or as a topping in a burger. Of course not the healthiest thing you can eat but a great treat
Perfect for Popcorn!
I know, I'm weird, but I really like to warm up a bowl of this Salsa Con Queso and eat it with my popcorn when my family has movie night! It's cheesy and delicious with just the right amount of kick! It's not an intense spicy flavor, but great with the cheese to tone it down a bit.

Pretty good. i like my food spicier, so i add some cyanne pepper to mine. that, plus some of tostitos hot salsa make it an irresistable dip. only con i can say is that i like thicker cheese and after my additions, its a little thinned out. cant beat tostitos multigrain scoops along with it :)
You know what I miss the most about football season? It's not watching my Panthers whip tail...it's the chips and this dip that I eat every Sunday! Best quest on the block!!! So creamy with just the right amount of heat. No gameday is complete without Tostitos queso and tortilla chips.
This is my favorite dip for my chips and honestly it doesn't matter what kind of tortilla chip because this dip makes it taste amazing. I cannot buy chips anymore without this specific dip, i don't care if I have to go to a different store to buy it, I wont buy a different salsa.
I feel no matter the size of the jar it is never enough! My family loves this cheese. My husband is super picky he thinks everything tastes fake but he loves this one. You can eat it warm , cold, room temperature it taste good any way you do it. Wish they made bigger size!
Easily prepared, I love to throw a bit of this in a bowl to heat up before guests arrive or to drizzle over chips for quick nachos. Easily available at most grocery stores (I get mine from Giant) it can also be used over tacos or in wraps for a quick spice up to the dish.
I love this cheese dip especially when it's just out of the microwave. Incredible flavor, creamy, like liquid gold in your mouth. Usually use Tostitos scoops, but could almost put on any food to give a little bit of extra flavor. Would absolutely buy again!! 😍😱
I absolutely love this queso. Especially with the tostitos chips it makes for the perfect snack or a side for a party. Ive bought it and i will keep buying it. the flavor makes my mouth water just thinking about it i want it. i would recommend it to everyone

While treatment choices differ, each year more men are surviving prostate cancer and winning back their lives. Prostate cancer can be a manageable disease if caught early and treated appropriately.
Once you have finished treatment it is time to think about any side effects you may have. It's also time to go on with your life. Talk to your health care provider about any side effects or problems you have after your treatment. You and your health care provider can decide what will be best for you.
What are The Emotional Effects Following Treatment?
After treatment, you may feel very emotional and even overjoyed. You could also feel anxious. You may worry about cancer returning. Whatever you're feeling, talk to your health care provider. Work together. Build a plan with your health care provider. And make a plan for dealing with side effects.
What are The Physical Effects Following Treatment?
Erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence are the side effects reported most often:
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Issues After Prostate Cancer Treatment
After prostate cancer, men can experience various side effects including erectile dysfunction. Your doctor can help you understand the causes of ED, and therapies that could help you recover.
What Causes ED After Prostate Cancer Treatment?
Surgery may damage the nerve bundles that control blood flow to the penis, causing ED. Nerves involved in the erection process surround the prostate galnd. While most surgeons try to perform a nerve sparing procedure, it is not always possible. In addition, there could be a decreased amount of blood flowing to the penis after treatment. The chance of ED after treatment depends on many things. It depends on your:
- Age
- Health
- Sexual function before treatment
- Stage of the cancer
- Whether the nerves that control erection were saved
How Long Can ED Last?
An erection happens when sexual arousal causes nerves near the prostate to send signals. The signals cause the blood vessels in the penis to fill with blood. The blood in the vessels makes the penis erect. The two nerve bundles that cause erection are very close to the area where prostate cancer most often starts. It's often possible to save these nerves in surgery, except when there is a chance that cancer cells will remain.
Since the main goal of prostate treatment is to remove the cancer, these nerve bundles may be completely or partly destroyed. There is still a chance of getting erectile function back, unless both nerves are destroyed. Erectile function return may be slow. It can take up to 24 months or longer before you are able to have a full erection. Some men recover sooner. The average time for erections that allow intercourse is 4 to 24 months. In some men, it takes longer.
Men under age 60 have a better chance of regaining erections than older men. Even with nerve–sparing surgery, erections do not return right away. The recovery period can take up to 2 years. Erections do not always return fully to pre–surgery function. But they may recover enough for sex. There are medicines and devices to treat ED.
Even with full recovery, most men find that erections are less strong and long–lasting than before surgery. Younger men recover sooner. Men with strogner erections before the operation have a better chance of recovery than those who had weak erections before surgery.
Are There Treatments for ED After Prostate Cancer Treatment?
Erectile rehabilitation is usually advised treatment. There are treatments that can help ED. They include pills, vacuum pumps, urethral suppositories, penile injections, and penile implants. All may have side effects. A health care provider can help you decide if one would be right for you.
Incontinence Issues After Prostate Cancer Treatment
Incontinence can sometimes occur as a result of treatment for prostate cancer. Incontinence is the inability to control your urine. After prostate cancer treatment, you may experience four different types of Incontinence.
- Stress Incontinence — is the most common, is urine leakage when coughing, laughing, sneezing or exercising.
- Overflow Incontinence — is the inability to empty the bladder completely, taking longer to urinate and when you do urinate, it is not a powerful stream.
- Urge (OAB) Incontinence — is the sudden need to go to the bathroom even when the bladder is not full because the bladder is overly sensitive.
- Mixed Incontinence — is a combination of stress and urge incontinence with symptoms from both types.
Because incontinence may affect your physical and emotional recovery, it is important to understand what your options are.
What Causes Incontinence After Prostate Cancer Treatment?
Whether you have incontinence after your prostate cancer treatment depends on your age, former bladder function, and experience of your doctor. With more experienced surgeons, the risk of permanent incontinence is rare after prostate cancer treatment. Sometime during surgery there is scarring. Scar tissue may form at the bladder outlet where the prostate was removed. If your urine flow is blocked, you may need more surgery to fix the blockage.
How Long Will Incontinence Last?
Short–term incontinence after surgery is a common side effect. You may need to wear a pad for a few weeks to months. Usually incontinence does not last long. But it can last as long as six to twelve months. Most men will recover urinary control. Physical therapy focusing on the pelvic floor may help you recover bladder control. Your health care provider can write a prescription for the therapy. Most insurance will cover the therapy.
Long–term (after 1 year) incontinence is rare. It happens in less than 5–10 percent of all surgical cases. When it does occur, there are ways to solve the problem.
Incontinence depends mostly on the surgeon's experience. Your age and bladder health also matter.
Are there Treatments for Incontinence After Prostate Cancer Treatment?
Treatment is based on numerous factors including the type and severity of your incontinence. There are a variety of treatment options which can potentially help you regain complete control:
- Kegel Exercises – strengthen your bladder control muscles.
- Lifestyle Changes – include modifying your diet, losing weight and regular emptying of the bladder can decrease urination frequency.
- Medication – affect the nerves and muscles around the bladder, helping to maintain better control.
- Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation – strengthens bladder muscles.
- Surgery – consists of injecting collagen to tighten the bladder sphincter, implanting a urethral sling to tighten the bladder neck, or an artificial sphincter device used to control urination. There are also many products available that do not treat incontinence but help maintain a high quality of life.
What if Prostate Cancer Returns?
Prostate cancer may return. The likelihood of cure varies. It depends on the cancer. You need a PSA test (the screening test for prostate cancer) of less than 0.1 ng/mL for 10 years before the cancer is considered cured. If the cancer returns, you and your health care provider will talk about treatment choice.

Before "The Football Factory"... before "The Firm"...before "Donal McIntyre".. there was Hooligan - The seminal TV expose that so shocked film director Alan Clark that he made "The Firm" about the notorious group of football supporters, the West Ham "Inter City Firm" or "ICF".
Hooligan is a look inside football's first family of fear, the "ICF". Before them football hooligans could easily be described as Doctor Marten, Levi and Ben Sherman wearing skin heads, not anymore. The "ICF" changed the entire football violence landscape, they were professionals from all walks of life...designer clothes-wearing, first class travel-using and above all, organised. They made prior appointments with rival clubs' "firms" and travelled first class to meet them, always with their special friend "Stanley". Once a humble builder's tool, the Stanley knife became a weapon of choice for those involved. No football colours, colours were for scarfers (normal supporters), no singing and if it was a drab northern ground probably no match as the meet had been arranged for elsewhere. City centres reduced to little more than looted shops and burnt out cars, innocent by-stander's "civilians" looked on in horror as the rival "firms" fought with each other and the police. No longer were the participants mindless tribes of knuckle dragging youths, the ICF were a new breed of otherwise successful, mostly well off people who got off on the violence for its own sake, football had become the vehicle, the public at large the audience. You could tell that you had been turned over by the "ICF", they had business cards printed with the legend "you have just met the famous ICF, have a nice day", and after "Stanley" had paid his respects the unlucky person got a calling card as a memento.
"Hooligan" is a groundbreaking documentary that goes inside the ICF and brought the notion of a new violent sub-culture to the nation's conscience.

Nokia N8 vs Samsung Galaxy S
The in-call performance on the Nokia N8 is very good, with loud and clear sounding voices in the earpiece, while the noise-cancelling microphones do their thing for better output at the hearing end.
On the Samsung Galaxy S the voice quality is decent – fine clarity in the earpiece on our side, albeit a bit quiet sound, but there is static noise at the receiving end, plus some echo.
The speaker of the Nokia N8 also has the upper hand here, producing loud sounds with minimum distortion, while the one on the Galaxy S is clear, but weaker, as can be expected in such a thin handset. Both phones produce excellent sounds in headset mode, due to the surround sound technologies present, but Nokia N8 has truly taken it to another level with Dolby Mobile.
We didn't notice any reception problems on both handsets. Nokia N8, despite its metal casing, has placed the antennas near the plastic at both ends of the phone, so receptionwise it doesn't disappoint. Battery life in 3G talk time mode is rated at 6.5 hours time for the Samsung Galaxy S, and 5.5 hours for the Nokia N8.
As usual, in the end it all comes to personal preferences. Both handsets are outstanding representatives of the first and second cell phone producers in the world, but there are many differences that will make picking one or the other an easy choice, depending on the usage scenarios.
If you watch a lot of movies on your commute, read e-books and documents, play games, or just prefer the slick TouchWiz 3.0 and the versatility of Android plus Android Market on a giant 4" Super AMOLED screen, powered by the most powerful mobile graphics chipset so far, you may want to go with the Samsung Galaxy S.
For a well-rounded smartphone package, that will appeal a lot to the casual and more experienced photographers alike, one would most likely pick the Nokia N8, with its 12MP camera and Xenon flash. The Finnish handset also adds other notable virtues, namely the ability to watch its contents on a big screen via HDMI-out with 5.1 channel surround sound, USB-on-the-go, and free lifetime navigation that works offline in most countries.
So now that we've compared the two companies' flagship smartphones, it seems like both offerings are worth your while. Again, it is up to you to decide which features you need the most, but either way you'll end up owning one helluva smarphone.

I prefer Nokia N8. Seen on the image difference in dark and videos amazing voice and solid aluminium cover - all of these things are on the side of N8

That's nice but before that I prefer Android and not Symbian
42. Phonepro (unregistered)
Symbian is very flexible but not for the User that wants to have the easiest interface. But if you are used to the Symbian System it's not worse than the Iphone or the Android System. In fact the possibilities Symbian offers to the more experienced user are more advanced, It's just not the OS for someone who is into the Design but more the OS for the ones that need a compact fast and open System and for those who are willing to invest some time in customizing it to ones need. If you are the secound one Symbian is best for you - if you are more into the Out-Of-The-Box-But-Less-Personal type - Get the Android - Or The Iphone.

In my opinion, Samsung is the best because it combines many powerful things inside, such as processor speed and screen size and color screen technology and the operating system and a stronger battery, for the strength of Nokia camera and read the media and external storage )) Samsung wins ((

Weird comparison... Ufcourse Android for me is a winner.

I own both phones, here is my verdict (OS-aside), let's assign 1 point for each round: Build Quality: N8 with its aluminum build and scratch-resistant gorilla glass display Display: Galaxy S with its larger 4" SAMOLED technology Connectivity: N8 which aces the competition with HDMI out and USB Host functionality Call Quality: N8 with more natural-sounding conversation, noise-cancellation Imaging: N8 with 12MP camera, Xenon-flash Video capture: Draw - both phones take gorgeous videos Durability: N8 due to its metallic build and scratch-resistant display. My Galaxy S got its first scratch on the 2nd day (rubber case is a must) SIM and Memory card handling: N8 due to easy access on the side without having to remove battery In-box package contents: N8 - in addition to the charger and, comes with mini HDMI adapter, USB-on-the go adapter, better quality in-ear earphones Battery Life: N8 charges every 2 days Apps pre-installed: N8 Apps downloadable: Galaxy S Price (unlocked): Nokia N8 US$ 530.00, Galaxy S US$ 700.00 Total Tally: Nokia - 10 points, Galaxy S - 2 points If you include Anroid OS as an advantage, Tally: Nokia - 10 points, Galaxy S - 3 points

Yeap, but should end 10 to N8 and 4 to Galaxy S, you forgot to mention ergonomics and fluid interface.
10. Franco (unregistered)
Also forgot: Email, Galaxy S is a lot better: so: 10 to n8 , 5 to Galaxy S.
15. DontHateOnS60 (Posts: 872; Member since: 20 Apr 2009)
N8 has multitouch in its email client. I don't remember my Captivate having that.
16. DontHateOnS60 (Posts: 872; Member since: 20 Apr 2009)
Ability to control your data connection: N8 UI: Galaxy S Loudspeaker: N8 GPS: N8 Navigation: N8 because you can preload all map data onto your phone. Signal reception: N8 by a landslide.
17. Dan the Man (unregistered)
@ Franco: that's why I said "OS-aside" from the beginning to offset the UI of the phones but I get your point. Ergonomics has two fronts: software interface and device-handling. Samsung "probably" wins on the software front but the N8 wins on the device-handling front: works both on single and dual-handed use, ease of access to SIM, memory card, doesn't slip off your hand that easily. :)

@DontHateOnS60: Points well raised. I agree. :)
19. jedrek (Posts: 1; Member since: 18 Oct 2010)
In my view, a better OS worths not only "1 point", so as some of your list take no "1 point" advantage. I chose the Android one. But one thing I have to admit that --- i9k's GPS sucks!

everyone has a different needs for buying a phone.....u cant really pick a winner.....if u consider a few more points 1.galaxy S can upload to twitter fb flickr youtube etc directly from the gallery app...n8 cant 2.widgets on galaxy S are better...u have only fixed size widgets on the n8 3.galaxy S doesnt show checker boxes while zooming in and out the web browser....n8 does it even for simple pages 4.u take 4 steps to enter a web address on n8.....galaxy S does with voice commands(FroYo) or 1 step(Eclair/Donut/Cupcake) 5.u cant type on QWERTY in portait mode on n8....galaxy S supports t9,handwriting as well as QWERTY 6.galaxy S is DivX HD certified,Dolby certified,SRS certified...sure n8 plays DivX HD..but not certified yet :P 7.Its GPU can display 90million triangles/sec.......n8 wont do even 20million/sec...iphone 4 and other 1Ghz snapragon processor based phones do 28million/sec 8.galaxy S comes with free Office Editing app....n8 lacks it so i gave 8 points where galaxy S wins......can give many more.....so better lets not choose a winner and let the buyers decide their needs to buy the phone and those creating a fuss with GPS on galaxy S...it got fixed with FroYo update....it locks perfectly now :)... i donno about Galaxy S captivate...but i9000 has a multitouch client for email

6. I find it hard to believe you're suggesting the Galaxy S comes with more CODEC support than the N8. Try again. 7. Actually, the N8's Broadcom GPU does 32 millions triangles/sec; more than the iPhone 4's GPU within its A4 SOC. Both are trumped by the Galaxy S' Hummingbird. ----Browser----The N8 browser will be replaced with a new Qt based browser. In my opinion, for the next 6 weeks...use Opera 10 Mobile; in any event, it's faster than any of the stock browser's for Android or IOS. ---Qwerty Portrait----The current firmware will be upgraded soon to support. Once done, SWYPE will then be able to include its own Portrait solution. ----OS versus UI---- There are a lot of features integrated within the Symbian OS that rivals fail to offer. Its the only OS designed from the ground up for embedded devices and its ability to operate with limited resources are unparalleled. However, the User Interface in not on par with IOS nor Android 2.1/2.2. It's OK for Symbian users, but it is not a draw for converts. Hopefully, both Meego and the Symbian^4 UI's will move the bar ahead and not only attempt catch-up. Bottom line...there's a difference between comparing and entire OS versus comparing the UI stack. ---30 fps---seems this has already been easily cracked on the N8. One can assume, from the reviews and feeback, that an offical firmware update would bring the 30fps into the mainstream. ...as for equivalent build quality...comparing a phone with a plastic body to one made from a single piece of anodized aluminum is a bit of a stretch, IMHO.

'll take the Nokia. It's better built, will last longer and in the end be a better value. Nokia supports their devices long after they have been released. Samsung's support of it's products is poor. And thats being generous. Having Android for me does'nt make up for the fact that it's still a Samsung. And that's not good. I got burned with the Behold II and as The Who said....."Won't Get Fooled Again"

Nokia hardware build is the best ever... but I got the poor Sansung due Android marketplace.. a lot more softwares.
12. jpropin (Posts: 152; Member since: 20 May 2010)
If I need 400 different versions of apps that have different names but all do the same thing, then I'll worry about the marketplace. I don't need 40 apps to tell me how to tie a necktie, and one tic-tac-toe game is enough for me. Don't need 25 of those. I want a phone that will last and won't crumble when it hits a floor made of rubber. A phone I can squeeze tightly in my hand and think, "man, this is solid" A phone that is not all foam and no beer and does'nt write checks it can't cash. In other words a device that can simply do what it says it can do in reality and not on a spec-sheet.

both phones are shite. Samsung and Nokia forget about their phones quickly. both are buggy too. If you absolutey MUST have a nokia get an n900. Otherwise stay clear of both these phones.

so true. i have the nokia 5800 NAM (from like 2008) and its still supported by nokia, just got another software update lastweek (v50, north america is behind euro updates)
21. haha (unregistered)
nokias service is bullcrap atleast out here in India.. Samsung out here can get ur phone fixed in a few minutes.. which is why i left nokia after having a number of phones with major issues.. as for firmware updates.. nokias updates basically fixed the bugs that should have not been there in the first place..(with no major improvements.. i still own an n82 which has gone nowhere from where it was when i bought it) which means in the case of nokia if yu want the next version of symbian.. buy the new phone...or be stuck with the same firmware for life!. btw my galaxy does not have the gps issue.. the gps issue is present only for those phones that are locked to the operators cos of the additional firmware that is shuffed into the phone by them(operators)
30. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
I updated my back-up 5800XM with PNHT's port of C6-00 custom firmware for the 5800. Homescreen widgets, full kinetics, a faster boot, more free RAM, and very conservative use of c drive. The UI is also faster/smoother. The CFW is based on C6's second firmware update (11.0.029) and it blows the standard 5800XM (51.0.006) out of the water. Coupled with an OtterBox Commuter case which makes the phone feel better in the hand...this old 5800XM is still a reliable and very capable little phone.

Push/Pull Plate Load Choke - how to figure Inductance?
If I have a choke with a center tap, I can use that for a plate load choke for a long-tailed pair stage used in class A only, as below.
Correct? OK, so...
In class A operation, should I look at the choke load for each triode from the choke center tap to the plate of that tube? In other words, if the inductance measures 100H from plate to plate, does that mean each tube in the p-p pair sees a load of 50H?
Thanks in advance for any guidance...

No, inductance ratio (when coupled together) are like impedance ratio: they change as the square of the turns ratio.
So, each half winding (1/2) shows only 1/4 of the total, that is 25H.

Rather than call it a choke, a better term might be autotransformer. The trouble with a circuit like that is the fact that the impedance drops linearly as frequency drops, so for the bass it's a rather low impedance. You have to make sure it's high enough at the lowest frequency of concern. At the other end of the spectrum you also have to make sure the distributed capacitance is small enough to push the self resonant frequency above the highest frequency of interest. That's why the details of winding techniques are important. Also the core losses will vary with frequency, another factor to annoy the designer.

There are 2 ways to calculate it. One is that with the 2 coils in parallel, the inductance is indeed 1/4 of the 2 coils in series. NB That's with either one coil or both coils in parallel. Since they're wired and driven out of phase, the 2 tubes are also driving in parallel. So even though it's 1/4 the inductance, the 2 tubes Rp are driving in parallel. Each tube in effect sees an inductive reactance of 1/2 that calculated for the 2 coils in series.
Another way to calculate it is with the inductance of the 2 coils in series, driven by the Rp of the 2 tubes in series.
Either way, you get each tube seeing 1/2 the inductive reactance of the series connection. Both methods yield the same Fc.
All this applies of course to class A operation only.
PS Something in the above may not be obvious to everyone. Why does putting 2 identical coils on the same core in series result in 4X the inductance and putting them in parallel result in no change of inductance? According to Faraday, Inductance is blah*N^2/blah where N is the number of turns, IOW the inductance increases as the square of the number of turns. Putting the coils in series is 2x the turns, 4x the inductance. Putting 2 coils in parallel neither adds or subtracts from the number of turns, same inductance as one coil. Because the coils are on the same core.

I have never used a plate choke in an application like this, but it seems to me that you would almost need a power tube to get decent distortion at low frequencies, since reactance will be so low at low frequencies. Do people get good results with these?

Low frequency performance is outstanding, corner frequency of something like 2-3 Hz, which means that distortion at 20Hz is not starting to increase much yet due to finite inductance. Each tube sees 17K ohms inductive reactance at 20 Hz for 270H total inductance.
High frequency performance is excellent, with the driver going out well past 50 HKz.
This performance is in part due to the high quality of the Lundahl LL1667 choke.

My current project amp requires around 200Vrms to drive the output stage into clipping. I am currently using CCS plate loads for the driver with ~800V B+. I'm getting more than 1% second harmonic at 1W due to the fact that a differential stage with CCS plate loads is hard to balance AC-wise.
I was thinking maybe a plate choke where the two sides are coupled together might help balance this out, but I can't think of a way to make this work well. A tube capable of putting 200Vrms into 17k (with comparable distortion to what my 6SN7s are putting out now) would be monstrous and probably doesn't exist, plus it looks like gain would vary quite a bit with frequency due to changing load impedance. I think I am gravitating towards an adjustable first stage(differential) load imbalance (a pot) even though I would love to have the circuitry be self-balancing.

One industrial model McIntosh used a center tapped choke to drive the output tubes. The model number escapes me now but the output tubes were hi MU types like the 572B.

That amp's a lot like a two-stage, DC-coupled, push-pull 2A3 amp I built. It's my current favorite, but only makes 6 watts class A each side. I was thinking of making another one but with 300B outputs.
My amp has the output stage power supply "stacked" on top of the driver stage power supply (say if the driver stage is +200V, then the output stage 'ground' is referenced to that, so floats at +200V). I think the output stage B+ is about +300V from the 2A3 plates to floating ground, so the whole stack has a total of +500VDC to earth ground. It would be quite a bit higher than that if 300Bs are used. Driver is a 6H30Pi long-tailed pair with an unidentified PP OPT (designed for PP 6BQ5) as the PP plate load. There's a -30V supply to feed the tail of the 6H30Pi. I think there's a 4kohm resistor in the tail, which should definitely be made larger in value. Perhaps an LM317T or some kind of FET as a CCS...
What kind of line stage or source do you use to drive that amp? I have two line preamps I'm using, both common-cathode stages with input selector and volume control; one has a 5687 running at 20mA per triode, the other a 6DJ8 at 8mA per triode.
I had made a Mullard 5-20 style amp and found that it was way too sensitive for my use, so I figured that if you're going to have three stages anyway, why not take the voltage amp out of the 3-stage power amp and make it a medium-mu triode line amp, and have that drive the volume control and (2-stage) power amp input? After DC-coupling the 2 stages in the power amp, that leaves only the one cap on the output of the line amp.
Anyway, I didn't know anybody else was thinking along those lines. It doesn't seem like a popular way to go. I like the 'nothing wasted' simplicity of the approach, and I think it sounds good. Have you found advantages to your setup that you couldn't get before?

The deal would be valued at aroundRs. 5.7 billion (the deal amount includes debt). Despite the news, stock price for the company were down on Friday as the company would take a debt of around Rs. 4,540 million.
On Friday at 11:49 A.M ISTon the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), stocks of the firm were trading at Rs. 215.25, down by 3.06 per cent or by Rs. 6.80. The stock had seen an intraday high of Rs 226.65 and a low of Rs. 211.00, till then.
Back in March 2011, the company had acquired a 14.9 per cent stake in the loss making company (Henkel) from its Indian promoter Tamil Nadu Petro-products Ltd. for around Rs. 607 million. Now, Jyothy has agreed to shell out Rs. 20 per share for 59 million shares of Henkel India.In the process Jyothy will pay Rs. 1,187 million for the stake and finance the rest, this would now increaseJyothy'sshare in Henkel India will be 65.87 percent.
Analysts feel that being a loss making company Henkel was easy to buy, however, they cautioned Jyothy against the interest burden.
Higher level management from both companies was happy about the deal, and went on to state that for Henkel the deal would help it fortifyits market positionin urban India, whereas Henkel would benefit from Jyothy"s marketing and sales competence.

Islamic Jew-hatred — it's in the Quran. Of course, the bomb plot was planned for Passover. How Islamic. The jihadi was a convert to Islam. Again we ask the obvious question: how is it that millions of Muslims and Muslim converts "misunderstand" Islam in exactly the same way? They understand all too well.
The problem is in Islam. And so we can't talk about the problem.
"Sources: FBI foils terror attack at Aventura synagogue; 1 arrested," WSVN, May 1, 2016:
AVENTURA, Fla. (WSVN) — Federal agents arrested a man who, sources said, was planning to throw an explosive device into a South Florida synagogue.
According to law enforcement sources, the FBI set up a sting to thwart what they described as a terror attack at the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, Friday evening. Sources said agents posing as terrorists were able to stop the suspect, who, they said, may have converted to Islam.
Sources told 7News they are concerned about this case because the suspect wanted to take some type of explosive device and chuck it over the wall. Friday was the next-to-last day of Passover, and the center was crowded with people observing the holiday.
Concerned residents said they were disturbed by the arrest. "I think about, before we had a baby, that we used to go there for services, and God forbid, it could have been us," said Stephanie Levine. "Thank God they stopped him, but had they not, it would have been such a horrible thing to happen to this neighborhood."
Sources said the center was never in danger because the suspect was taken into custody before any harm was done.
"Of course it surprised me," said area resident Richard Levinson. "Everybody says, 'I live in a small town. It doesn't happen here,' but the sad part is, it happens everywhere."
Resident Kim Tepper said she's horrified by the turn of events but ultimately not that surprised. "It's a very scary world, and you know what? I don't think that anybody is safe anywhere," she said. 'We'd always thought, living in this area, that we could be targeted, so now you're kind of confirming that for me. Not happy."
FBI officials declined to comment on the investigation, but 7News has learned the suspect will appear in federal court early this week.

Pork Medallions With Wine and Sage
Recipe by Penny Stettinius
We love pork tenderloins, so versatile! When purchasing your tenderloin make sure it is not injected with any solution as that will change the entire taste of the meat. Look for all natural. Also, when I am just cooking for two of us I use 1/2 of the tenderloin and freeze the other half. If you do not have any fresh sage, use a pinch of dried.
Top Review by ChristyCraig
These were great for a winter dinner. I used left-over mushroom gravy instead of the consomme for a thicker sauce. It was a hit with husband and kids alike.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 lb pork tenderloin, cut into medallions approx 1 . 5-inch each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1⁄4 cup dry white wine
- 1⁄2 cup consomme
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 5 sage leaves, minced
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Season medallions with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in frying pan and sear medallions on both sides on high heat.
- Remove medallions and set aside.
- Deglaze the pan with the wine, then lower the heat and scrape the bits off the bottom of the pan stirring for 5 minutes.
- Add the consomme and sage, stir well, and add the medallions back into the sauce.
- Simmer until the pork is done to your liking. I like my medallions just after it has been cooked past med-rare, when it is still a little pink and tender. Using the touch test, it's done when it "gives a very little" when touched on top, in the middle. If it does NOT give, it is definitely done, perhaps a little over done.

Foil: comparison of two opposite characters in literature
Okonkwo is a very strong and angry person. He is the only person in their that has ever beat the Cat in a wrestling match. Okonkwo is also a very angry person. He has a short temper causing him to beat his wives and children for non-important reasons. "I will not have a son who cannot hold up his head in the gathering of the clan. I would sooner strangle him with my own hands. And if you stand staring at me like that, Amadiora will break your head for you!"
Unoka is a lazy drunk that has no pride in his work and owes money to many people. He loves parties and sits around playing his flute instead of working to pay off his debts. Unoka always borrows money from people promising to pay them back but never does. His son Okonkwo is ashamed of him and many people want nothing to do with him. "Look at that wall, look at those lines of chalk. Each group there represents a debt to someone, and each stroke is one hundred cowries. You see, I owe that man a thousand cowries. But he has not come to wake me up in the morning for it. I shall pay you, but not today."

Stop The Violence: 17 Injured And 4 In Critical Condition After Drunken Azzhole Shoots Up An Alabama Bar!
21 People Shot Outside Of Alabama Bar
Five of 17 people injured during a mass shooting at the Copper Top, a downtown bar, early Tuesday morning remain hospitalized.
One was in critical condition, another was in serious condition and
three were in fair condition, DCH Regional Medical Center spokesman
Brad Fisher said at 8:30 a.m.
Twelve had been treated and released. All the victims are in their 20s and 30s, Fisher said.
Crime scene investigators still had the downtown block near 23rd
Street and Fourth Avenue closed as they collected and photographed
evidence Tuesday morning.
A press conference is scheduled for 10 a.m. this morning at the Tuscaloosa Police Department (Follow the press conference live on Twitter at tnews_steph).
Video of the alleged shooter has been posted on TPD's Facebook page, showing a man walking along the east side of the Copper Top building carrying an assault rifle at his right side.
No deaths had been reported and the gunman had not been apprehended, according to a source close to the investigation. The source said the events leading up to the bloodshed may have started in Northport and continued into the area of Fourth Street and 23rd Avenue in downtown Tuscaloosa.
The gunman fired into the Copper Top bar, which sits on the corner of Fourth Street and 23rd Avenue. The damage appeared to be confined to Copper Top.
Hopefully the shooter is caught and those injured recover. That said, we never thought we'd see the day a when a white man shoots up a bar, usually that type of behavior comes from ignorant ninjas.

Some Ancient technology requires Z.P.M.s, and the city of Atlantis relies on three of the units in order to run at full power. A Zero Point Module or equivalent power source is required for a Stargate to establish a wormhole to a gate in another galaxy. It is possible to construct a version of the device from Earth-based materials, as Jack O'Neill (under the influence of the Ancients' library of knowledge) once did to reach the Asgard when he needed their aid.
SG-1 first discovered the technology when O'Neill, again under the influence of the Ancients' knowledge, led them to the planet Proclarush to retrieve a Z.P.M. from Taonas, the Ancients' abandoned base there. They brought it back to Earth and found the Atlantus outpost in Antarctica, where the device powered the Ancient drone weapons that destroyed Anubis's attacking fleet. The module was later used to power the Stargate for the Atlantis expedition's long-distance journey to the Pegasus Galaxy.
Upon the Earth team's arrival in Atlantis two of the city's three Z.P.M.s had been depleted, and the third was reaching maximum entropy trying to stave off the ocean around the submerged city with a shield barrier. It is the Atlantis team's hope that additional Z.P.M.s can be discovered in the Pegasus Galaxy, both to power the city's defense shield and to provide enough power to gate home to Earth.
Lost City, Part 2 - SG-1 retrieves an Ancient power cell from Proclarush Taonas to take back to Earth, where it is instrumental in destroying Anubis's fleet.
Rising, Part 1 - Earth's only Zero Point Module, taken from Proclarush, is used to power the gate for a trip to Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. The team discovers that Atlantis' own Z.P.M.s are failing.
Rising, Part 2 - Atlantis' last working Z.P.M. is depleted, and the city rises to the surface before the shield fails completely.
Zero Hour - The Goa'uld Camulus leads Stargate Command to a Z.P.M., which they discover has been tainted so that it will cause a catastrophic explosion if used.
Childhood's End - McKay takes a Z.P.M. -- used to power a village's protective electromagnetic shield -- back to Atlantis for study, but Weir orders him to return it.
Ripple Effect - Reporting their Z.P.M. is depleted, an alternate SG-1 punctures a hole in the metaverse to steal a powered one from another reality.
The Siege, Part 3 - The Daedalus delivers a much-needed Z.P.M. to Atlantis, to help defend the city from a Wraith assault.
The Tower - McKay powers the star drive of an Ancient city ship to drain the power of the Z.P.M. running it, effectively ending the rule of the dubious Lord Protector.
Adrift - The city's Z.P.M. runs desperately low with Atlantis adrift in deep space.
Lifeline - Sheppard's team covertly steals a Z.P.M. from the Replicator home planet.
Spoils of War - Todd the Wraith reveals that he sent warriors to steal Z.P.M.s from Asuras before the planet was destroyed.
Enemy At the Gate - Todd reveals that he has had a scientist working on interfacing a Z.P.M. with a Wraith hive ship, and he has been successful -- using it to engineer a nearly unstoppable super-hive.

Santini's Restaurant in Joppa will, most likely, be able to serve beer and wine to its patrons soon.
At its meeting in Bel Air Wednesday, the Harford County Liquor Control Board approved a request from Jose Hernandez for a class B1 beer and wine license. Hernandez is also a 50 percent stockholder in the restaurant.
Craig DeRan, a lawyer with Stark and Keenan in Bel Air, represented Hernandez.
He told the board that Santini's Restaurant, at 626 Town Center Drive, has been open since November 2011 and is "starting to become successful," hence the request for a beer and wine license.
"[Hernandez] has shown himself to be a gentleman of financial responsibility and character," DeRan said.
Chairman Donald Hess asked how many seats were in the restaurant and if there would be a full-service bar.
DeRan responded that there would be no bar, and Hernandez added that there are approximately 70 seats.
Hess asked if Hernandez had any experience in the liquor industry.
The licensee's attorney explained that prior to the restaurant, Hernandez was in the cleaning business and this was his first foray into the liquor industry.
Commissioner Vernon Gauss asked if the licensee works with any staff or servers and how many.
"A couple," Hernandez said. When pushed for a number, he responded, "About four people."
Gauss then asked if those employees had been trained on license rules and regulations, to which DeRan responded that two staff members, Hernandez and the other stockholder, had all been trained.
Board Administrator Kathryn Thess said she didn't believe Chief Inspector Charlie Robbins had been to Santini's to take photos of the layout. She asked Hernandez and DeRan to arrange a time for Robbins to visit.
Contingent upon photos from Robbins, the board approved the license, which will be issued May 1.

- 65 Years of Land Rover: The Birth and Growth of an Icon
201304 Jul
The all-new Range Rover Sport (L) with the new Range Rover, and HUE 166 in the background.
2013 marks 65 years of Land Rover, a car-maker with a rich heritage, and today a maker of some of the most sought-after and luxurious cars in the world. Funny to think that it all began with a British-built version of an American original.
Yes, the first-ever Land Rover was inspired by the iconic American Jeep. It had the same 80-inch wheelbase, because that is what the Jeep had at the time. In fact, the first ever Land Rover, shown at the 1948 Amsterdam motor show, was based on a Jeep chassis. The Jeep chassis was never used on a production Land Rover, however, with the British company making a number of improvements and improvisations to it. Primary among these was the use of a box-section chassis, rather than channel sections used by Jeep. Box sections were stronger and much more durable, giving the Land Rover the reliability and toughness for which the brand has come to be known.
This history though will be familiar to Land Rover anoraks. To commemorate 65 years of being in existence, Land Rover had invited us to Packington Park, near Coventry, an estate which it has used as a proving ground for its products over the years. We were to sample a variety of the company's products, including some development prototypes, some competition vehicles, and some developed for military use. Quite an exciting day then.
And that's how it all began...
Right in front of Packington Hall, Land Rover had arranged for a unique collection of Land Rovers from over the years. Pride of place of course was accorded to Huey, or HUE 166, which is the first Land Rover ever produced. This production prototype was then sold to a farmer, from whom it was bought back a few years later, restored and is now a proud part of the company's heritage. We weren't allowed a go in Huey, but we did open the doors and look around inside.
One extremely exciting vehicle that I did drive was the 1989 Camel Trophy-winning Defender 110. The British team of Bob and Joe Ives was the only British team to win the Camel Trophy in 20 years of the competition. This vehicle has been kept in original condition, including a cracked spot lamp lens, and looks like it came straight off the ferry after traversing a thousand miles through the Amazonian jungle. Even the hand-cut and hastily stuck markers on the speedometer (the original was in km/h, but the Ives were used to mph for their calculations) are still there.
There was some play in the gear lever, but that is to be expected from a 25-year-old vehicle which had quite literally 'been to hell and back'!
Among the lot of cars that I sampled that day was also the original Range Rover or Range Rover Classic, which was launched in 1970. The smoothness of its suspension and the simplicity of its design were apparent even after so many years. The modern Range Rover has evolved significantly since, but the unmistakable silhouette still remains, as much a testament to the British tradition of keeping things traditional as it is to the timeless design.
Over the course of the day, I even ploughed a furrow or two on the lands of Packington Estate, enjoying the simplicity of the original Series 1 Land Rover. In low range, trailing the hoe behind, it summarised just what a versatile vehicle the Land Rover is, and why it has become such an affectionate, if fallible automobile. The present day Defender, offered in limited-edition LXV trim ('LXV' is roman numerals for '65'), can also be used to plough a field, as adequately demonstrated on the day. Yes, it still has some of the same foibles, including an excessively heavy steering, cramped driving position and cabin ergonomics which are simply baffling in the 21st century, yet it is a talismanic vehicle for Land Rover.
One vehicle that I really wanted to have a go in, but could not, was a military prototype with twin half-tracks, somewhat like a tank. This vehicle was not productionised however, but it did serve to highlight just what a vast repertoire of vehicles could be built on the simple Land Rover platform. Over the years, Land Rovers have been everything from farmers' work-horses, to search and rescue vehicles, ambulances, fire-engines and military personnel carriers. There's even an ice cream truck version! It's amazing to think that what began as an improvised utilitarian device could evolve to what we know it as today.
Tata Motors has inherited a legacy. Throughout its colourful history, Land Rover has retained its character. With ownership having changed hands many a time, the brand has managed, somehow, to maintain its identity. Today, Land Rover is a robust and profitable business, with sales growing strongly worldwide, and the company expanding into more and more markets.
On uncomfortable question hangs in the balance, however; what will replace the Defender, once it no longer meets emission and safety criteria in a couple of years' time? Speculate as we might, it's a question even Land Rover stalwarts appeared loathe to answer.
Land Rover Car Features
Two minutes is not long, but it enough time for Land Rover to celebrate a motoring icon. The Range Rover has pioneered design, refinement and engineering innovation since 1970 and Land Rover has showcased the evolution of its luxury SUV through four generations with a unique animation lasting only 120 seconds.
This year marks the 21st anniversary of Land Rover introduction of the Autobiography designation then and now the pinnacle of the Range Rover model line-up. Across two decades the Range Rover Autobiography has denoted the ultimate combination of Land Rover design and luxury settling a benchmark in the premium SUV market.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Gallo Family Vineyards. All opinions are 100% mine.
Our life is chaos right now. As I've shared this past summer we sold our home and bought our farmhouse dream house. What that meant was that we moved in with my parents and into their farmhouse. My dear parents had their retirement interrupted when we moved in with our two boys (our two very full of energy boys). We sold the idea to my parents promising we would only be there for 8 – 12 weeks.
We lived there for six months.
And my parents were rockstars. They have been super supportive. Isn't it awesome when family steps up and helps you with huge dreams? You completely realize that you could not do it without them. I'm grateful.
So this past Thanksgiving we gathered around the table like we do every year. It was my family of four, my parents, my brother's family (whose wife was working on Thanksgiving) and my sister's family came into town. That meant 15 people invaded the farmhouse – that really didn't have much room for more since our things and my parent's things are all there – all the time. All the stuff and all the people with all the food – in one place.
Ten different conversations were happening at once. And we're loud talkers so you can imagine how that chorus sounded.
The meal was being prepared while some of the crew ran circles around us. Hungry. We were all hungry. You just can't smell that goodness and not be impatient to eat.
The table was set beautifully by my mom who never skipped a beat despite the fact she hasn't had a moment of silence to herself in months.
But when we sat down, we had so much to be thankful for. We had a packed house of chaos that was our own chaos. We caught up on life since my sister's family doesn't live close by. We shared memories and laughter – and more laughter at things only your family will understand.
And we stuffed our faces with delicious food, my mom's amazing pumpkin pie and enjoyed a big bottle of wine from the selection of Gallo Family Vineyard Wines.
Our family doesn't finish the meal just because the food is gone. You'll often find us hanging out for quite a while telling stories. I'm not sure why this always happens. We enjoy each other's company but we're also people who see each other often – outside of my sister's family. But something about a meal and the holidays gives us a moment to pause and really listen.
And plan. There's always planning in a family full of planners.
This holiday season grab a bottle of Gallo wine and some time with your family. No matter how many fill your home, enjoy the chaos. While moments of silence would have felt grand for this busy momma, I realize that scrunched in minutes with your family are even more precious. Embrace the chaos this holiday season. I plan to. 🙂
Find more info about the wine we shared at Gallo Family Vineyards Facebook. Makes sure to find where to buy the Gallo Wines before you shop for your holiday table.

Paragliders are thrilling and majestic to watch, especially when they're shredding through vengeful, murderous clouds. Battle vapor with this Groupon.
$125 for a Tandem Paragliding Instructional Flight (a $250 Value)
Harnessed together, a certified instructor and gliding pupil jog 20 yards, towing a parachute until it lifts into the air. Paragliders soar at elevations of up to 3,000 feet with views of of desert landscapes and cacti stampedes. Finally, they glide back down to earth at the end of their 20- to 25-minute journey.
Paraglider Rides
Using the sky as his classroom, certified paraglider Sean Buckner introduces his pupils to elevated views of desert and mountain terrain. Sean travels to various sites, where he uses a winch towing system to launch tandem flights in most wind conditions. Beneath the glider's elliptical shape, Sean teaches basic skills or the art of thermal flying, which calls fliers to hunt for air lifts, soar at higher altitudes, and make awkward small talk with hawks.

June 2014 - Explorer of the Seas to Caribbean
Everything was excellent!
Just one thing: television. Very old TV-set in our cabin, even not flat screen, from the beginning of last century. That grandpa-TV-set spoke only Spanish. Even English-speaking movie we had to watch with Spanish subtitles. Why?
I tried to reprogram launguage. Impossible.
There are several kinds of program on our ship TV - Spanish, German, Italian, French, Chinise, Mexican... I did not see anybody like French or German on the ship. However there are many, many Russian people there. Russian launguage was here and there but not on TV. Why?
I think it's right time yo add Russian program on TV as well.
Thank you very much.

A TORFAEN school has raised £500 for the hospital where their former pupil died after spending just one hour with her newborn son.
Ysgol Gyfun Gwynllyw, Pontypool, has donated the £500 to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham in memory of former pupil Hannah-Michelle Browne.
A rare medical condition caused 21-year-old Hannah-Michelle Browne from Pontypool to suffer a massive cardiac arrest and plunge into a coma during labour, leaving her unaware she had given birth.
Three weeks later, doctors were able to regain her consciousness so she could meet her son Gerwyn for the first time.
But after spending just one hour with her baby she slipped back into unconsciousness and died two weeks later.
Pupils took part in a dress down day event at the school and presented a cheque to the Birmingham hospital this month where the former pupil spent her last days after giving birth.
Over the last year, her mum, Michelle Browne, has embarked on a series of fundraising events in her daughter's memory, raising £7,700 for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity.
"I was overwhelmed by the support that was given," she said.
Now she plans to embark on her ultimate fundraising challenge-a sponsored skydive in Swansea next year.
A Just Giving page for Hannah will be set up in the coming months.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham Charity is currently fundraising for the creation of a new Rare Diseases Centre, which will enhance the world-class facilities.

Melbourne: The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) said on Tuesday it was confused about the interpretation of rules governing squad changes brought about by injuries during cricket's World Cup next year. The ACB has been re-reading the rules regarding injuries at the February-March tournament following Shane Warne's shoulder dislocation on Sunday night that threatened his participation.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed on Monday that Australia could pick Warne in its final squad of 15, due on December 31, but replace him even during the tournament. The ACB also want to find out whether Australia can go outside the preliminary squad of 30 players, named at the start of this month, if it has to replace Warne. Fellow leg spinner Stuart MacGill and Test captain Steve Waugh are among those who did not make the 30-man squad.
"Our understanding is there's flexibility in that, certainly there was flexibility in that (at) the previous World Cup and we don't see that's changed," ACB chief executive James Sutherland said on Tuesday. "I don't think it's entirely clear, all of those little issues." But the good news for the Australian selectors is they can pick Warne and even rest him during the early stages of the Cup tournament, which starts on February 9.
That will give Warne as much time as possible to return to full fitness. "The allowance within that, with injuries, is that a player can pull out at any stage after December 31, even after the tournament has started," Sutherland said. "They can be replaced, subject to confirmation by medical authorities that it's a genuine injury."
