Public Art : Ponte Sant'Angelo (also known as
Angel Bridge)
Sculptors : © Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Antonio Raggi,
Lazzaro Morelli, Pietro Paolo Naldini, Cosimo Fancelli, Girolamo Lucenti, Ercole Ferrata,
Giulio Cartari, Antonio Giorgetti and Domenico Guidi.
Description : 10 marble statues of Angels each
holding instruments of the Passion, lining the 18m stone arch bridge. The masterful Bernini, who was always
conscious of how his statues would be seen from different angles, identified three distinct views his angels
would best be admired at from the bridge. The view directly in front and the two 45 degree angles as people
walked across it in both directions. So meticulous was Bernini he created full scale clay models of each statue so
he could visualize exactly how each would look before the chisel finally hit the marble. He used the
wings and slight twists in the angel's bodies to create subtle changes to the statues when
viewed from different positions. Slightly more detail was given to the Rome facing side of the statues as this was
the first view for the pilgrims. The Rome Lover website
has a great series of photographs showing the three different angles.
Sadly it seems some of Bernini's students, who were given the task of completing Bernini's
vision, didn't have the same shared passion for the work and were criticised for lacking
Location : The Ponte Sant'Angelo is located on the
right bank of the Tiber River next to the Castel SantAngelo, Rome, Italy.
Date Unveiled : The first statue was erected on the
bridge in September 1669 and the last one to be erected was in November 1671.
Background to Angel Bridge : One of the final
projects of sculptor Bernini was to create eight marble statues for the Ponte Santa'Angelo. In the end he would
design 10 but he would only complete two himself. Students of Bernini were chosen to carve the rest of angels taken
from his sketches and clay models. Each angel was to hold an instrument of the Passion of Christ.
The actual bridge, Ponte Sant'Angelo, was built in 134AD by Roman Emperor Hadrian (who also rebuilt the Pantheon) for pilgrims to access his newly built mausoleum
(Pons Aelius) now the Castel Sant'Angelo. For a time it was also called the "bridge of Saint Peter"
because it leads to St Peter's. The name was later changed by Pope Gregory to Sant'Angelo when it was rumored an
angel appeared on the roof of the castle to announce the end of the plague.
The statues of St Peter and St Paul were erected by Pope Clement VII in 1534 and in 1536 the bridge
was adorned with 8 statues including Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses by Pope Paul III for the visit to Rome by
Emperor Charles V.
In 1669 Pope Clement IX commissioned the aging sculptor Gian Lorenzo Bernini to create 10 angels
for the bridge. Bernini managed to create two, Angel with the Superscription and Angel With Crown of Thorns, before
handing the work over to his students. The Pope later requested that Berini's original statues be housed at the
church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte and copies made to replace them on the bridge.
Angel Bridge Trivia :
Gian Lorenzo Bernini was 70 when in 1669 he was handed the commission to create 10 statues for
the bridge to replace the aging stucco angels by Raffaello da Montelupo.
In 1450, during the jubilee, a large crowd gathered on the bridge causing the balustrades to
collapse sending people into the Tiber resulting in many deaths.
During and following the 16th century the bridge was a popular place to hang the bodies of people
who had been executed.
The three central piers of the stone bridge are original.

Sculptor : © Pietro Paolo Naldini (1619–1691)
Inscription : "In aerumna mea dum configitur
Trivia : This is actually a copy of the angel
that Bernini and son Paolo sculpted. Cardinal Giacomo Rospigliosi, nephew of Pope Clement IX, loved Bernini's
statues so much he want them for the Cathedral of Pistoia in Tuscany, his hometown. It never eventuated, instead
both this and Angel of Superscription were later relocated to inside the church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte in
Angel #4 : Angel with the Sudarium (Veronica's Veil)
Sculptor : © Cosimo Fancelli (c. 1620-1688)

Inscription : "super vestimentum meum miserunt
Angel # 6 : Angel with the Nail
Sculptor : © Girolamo Lucenti (1627–1692)
Inscription : "Aspicient ad me quem confixerunt"
Trivia : Lucenti started his career by working with
Alessandro Algardi, Bernini's great rival.
Angel # 7 : Angel with the Cross

I'm going DMR and have questions about it.
I'm new to airsoft and I've seen so many posts about people wanting to get a sniper and I wanted one at first but as you don't have a significant range advantage I am no longer inclined to play as a sniper and instead switched to DMR. I like how I can upgrade the gun and gain a range and accuracy advantage while maintaining a good rate of fire.
Now my main question is what should I get as my starter primary. As this is my first gun I would prefer to avoid difficult upgrades so I'm interested in guns with good out of the box accuracy. I've heard really good things about the TM M14 and I'm a fan of the look of the SOCOM M14 but not too thrilled with the plastic body. I've also heard that the M4 and M16 have a lot of internal upgrades available. As I'm not age verified yet I'm not looking for any specific places to buy them yet just makes and models of quality starters.

Oh we do hate you, just never felt like wasting the time to give you a user title :P
In all honesty most airsoft guns have the same sort of range/accuracy out of the box, pic a gun you like, buy a good quality inner barrel, and a flat, bridge or rhop type of hope up rubber and some good bb's in .28-.32g and thatll be about the best range youll get. Regardless of.if you buy an mp5k or an m14.
a bolt action (once fully upgraded and once you have a lvl2 certification so u can run 500fps) will have beter range and accuracy but you will be limited by rate of fire and engagement distances.
but any gun in the 350-400fps range with a simaler quality barrel, hop up and bb's will have about the same range and accuracy.
a TM is a quality gun and the plastic bodies on them are about the best u can get, but it will need a bunch of internal upgrades right out of the box. (spring, bushings (most likely), piston, then while yer in there u may as well do gears too) to bring it up to 350-400fps plus a good inner and hop up. Omce u go full metal the m14 is a prety heavy gun to lug around. An m4/m16 type gun can shoot just as well and be alot easier to lug around. Echo1 and JG are decent cheaper brands, can get plastic and metal bodies on em. even cyma is decent (at least i know their mp5's are) vfc makes a really mice 416 (its like an m4 sort of) but its a lil more money then yer average aeg. No matter whatcha buy youll need to do a lil work, some more than others and yer luck may vary but opening it up, checking the lube and shimming and aoe are always a good idea, throwin in a sorbo pad, a good piston (if the stock one sucks) same with the piston head, and the barrel and hop up and youll be good. Ive got jg/echo1 m4 style guns that soot as good as high end guns, and can even keep up with ptw's, even my.mp5k shooting 310fps has great range and accuracy, all have good hop ups, good barrels and good airseal for consistancey.

you don't stick an Rhop on a stock gun. it's the last thing you do... as should any hop up mod/replacement.
Fix your air seal from the piston head, cylinderhead/cylinder, cylinderhead/nozzle and then address the hop up.
Any bucking or heavier weight bb isn't going to to fuck all for you when your FPS is jumping 20 or more fps from shot to shot.
I futz with V2s, V3s and V6s. I could be wrong... but probably, most likely not, as far as I know.

ive had good results with flat and bridge hops on stock guns, obviously tue consistancy isnt there as it would be on a fully tuned gun but most stock inners and hop ups ive come across have sucked and changing those two easy to change bits (as most folks arent gonna want to dig around in a gearbox right away) makes a big impact on range and somewhat on accuracy (the accuracy results will obviously varry do to incosistant fps)

it's pointless to spend the money and time on the r-hop install when you can spend the money on compression sealing and get greater initial results. It's like putting up the drywall and painting the house before you finish installing the plumbing.

i just put the rhop there cause its popular, i personally have gone 100% over to the promy smooth rubber and bridge bucking, way simpler to install and simaler results

Ok so far I think I'm going to go with a CYMA M14 SOCOM as I like the external look of it, don't mind a little extra weight for the Full Metal and it looks like regardless of what I'm getting I'm going to be upgrading the internals.
What are the major upgrades to increase range and accuracy that I should start with? It looks like fixing (or replacing?) the seals (I'm assuming to increase gas efficiency and power) should be done first and then the gearbox and barrel. I left out upgrading the hop up as there are differing viewpoints and I don't know enough about upgrading to make a judgement call myself.
Also what is the part availability (and compatibility with other brands) for the CYMA M14's they seem to be popular but I've also heard they are a Chinese knockoff brand and that some knockoffs are hard to find parts for.

Well TBH the hop up and barrel are probably easier to upgrade than anything else. Once you get into compression parts you're talking about getting into the gearbox and it's something I wouldn't recommend a newbie do especially with a V7 gearbox.
As for parts, they're totally TM compatible (supposedly even moreso than G&P) and yes they are a "knockoff brand" or in the airsoft world as we call it ACM (All China Made) or a "clone", not technically a knockoff because they're not purporting to be TM or whatever (if CYMA is a knockoff then technically VFC, G&P, CA, KA, etc. are also knockoffs too). BTW Echo1 rebrands CYMA (some say with an extra QC check or possibly higher "binned" parts but I'm not sure if it's a rumour or true or if someone just made that up to feel good about their purchase).

Oh we do hate you, just never felt like wasting the time to give you a user title :P
not sure about the m14 as far as echo1 is concerned. But they do not mfg any guns, they simply rebrand from companies like JG, often ading trades, in the past they would swap out (or have them swapped out) bushings and othet lil bits as they do their QC check in the usa, chances are that by now all that is done at the manufacturing lvl, i had a jg m4 and an echo1 stag 15, aside from the echo1 trades on the gearbox all the innards were the same, externals (aside from the stock and front set) seemed to be the same plastic/polymer.
Edit before even posting lol: i did a quick search and the echo1 m14 is a cyma rebrand, also their aks are cyma as well lol
at any rate the reasom behind upgraring airseal is to get shot to shot consistancy. The gun is electric so gas is not used just air compressed by the cycle of the piston.
so piston head, cylender head, nozzle, hop up are going to be leak points.
and i normally wouldnt argue with lurking (or anyone for that mater) but the hop up rubber is going to be the single most important thing in giving you range and accuracy, followed by a good bb, and good barrel. Yes airseal is important, but lets say for arguments sake that the airseal sucks and u get a 40fps varriance lets say 380-420fps with most shots landing in the middle around 400, with a good hop up and good heavy bbs yoi will get good range and with a good barrel will improve accuracy, now yes u will get some varriance due to the inconsistantfs, but overall the biggest bang for buck and easiest to install upgrade will be a hop rubber and inner barrel, anything else will require opening of the gearbox. a modify baton (whatever its called) or a prometheus smooth rubber and bridge tenssioner and an inner barrel (mad bull, prommy those are two extreem ends of the price point for decent barrels) will give u good results without opening anything up. And run .28-.32 bb's (if yer around 400fps on a .20) either of those hop ups will provide enough hop for those weights

Trans Abstract
The fracture of a needle during local anesthesia in dental treatment is rare; however, when it occurs, the needle should be removed without damage to surrounding structures as soon as possible. A fractured needle fragment that is buried in soft tissue would be difficult to remove, and a careful surgical procedure under general anesthesia is recommended in such cases.
Children who require dental treatment are often not capable of cooperative behavior, thus unexpected movements can increase the risk of needle fracture. Clinicians can reduce the incidence of needle fracture accidents with a few precautions.
In the present case report, we report a case of needle fracture due to abrupt movement during inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia in a young child, with the purpose of drawing attention to needle fracture incidents. This report describes the possible causes and prevention methods of local anesthetic needle fracture, and the localization methods and surgical procedure for needle fragment removal.
Ⅰ. Introduction
Despite the reduced incidence of dental needle fracture since the development of disposable needles and the use of flexible materials for needle fabrication, needle fracture accidents still occur. The majority of needle fractures occur during administration of inferior alveolar nerve block, with the most common site for a fractured needle fragment being the pterygomandibular space [1].
A fractured needle fragment should be removed due to the potential danger for migration and detrimental effects to adjacent structures [2]. However, removal of a fractured needle fragment that is not observed with the naked eye is one of the most difficult procedures, and there is a need for a correct understanding of the anatomical structure surrounding the fractured needle fragment.
Children who require dental treatment are often not capable of cooperative behavior, thus unexpected movements can increase the risk of needle fracture. Therefore, a careful approach is needed when administering local anesthetics to a child, and clinicians should know the technique variations related to the smaller skull and different anatomy of a child.
Previous reports regarding needle fracture focus mainly on localization techniques of needle fragments in adults [1,3-5]. Accordingly, here, we report a case of surgical retrieval of a fractured needle fragment occurring in a young child during inferior alveolar nerve block anesthesia, with a view to drawing attention to needle fracture incidents. In addition, we discuss the possible causes, management, and prevention methods of needle fracture, as well as the precautions to be taken when performing local anesthesia in children.
Ⅱ. Case report
A healthy three-year, five-month-old boy with severe early childhood caries came to Department of Pediatric Dentistry of Gangneung-Wonju National University Dental Hospital in order to receive dental treatment in January 2015. His body weight was 17 kg and he was administered 1100 mg chloral hydrate and 25 mg hydroxyzine by a dental assistant. Approximately 90 minutes after the drugs were administered, he fell asleep. When a mouth gag was inserted into the mouth of the patient, he moved suddenly. Approximately 10 minutes after inhalation of nitrous oxide/oxygen, the mouth gag was inserted again and he did not seem to move. When a 21-mm 30-gauge needle was inserted in order to deliver the inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia, the patient suddenly tilted his head in a direction opposite to that of the needle, woke up, and struggled. The needle had fractured at the hub and the needle fragment was not visible.
Dental panoramic and computed tomographic (CT) scans with three-dimensional reconstruction were performed, which confirmed the presence of the fragment in the left pterygomandibular space adjacent to the parapharyngeal space (Fig. 1 & 2). Following discussion with the patient's caregiver, who was in office at the time of the incident, about possible risks, complications, and available options, the patient's caregiver agreed to the removal of the fractured needle fragment under general anesthesia.
The following day, the patient was admitted to hospital and underwent general anesthesia for removal of the fractured needle fragment. There is always the possibility of migration of the needle fragment since the CT scan was obtained, thus, in the operating room we took a combination of lateral and anteroposterior radiographs with two reference needles inserted based on the previous CT scans, in order to determine the actual location of the fractured needle fragment (Fig. 3). To prevent migration of the needle, we decided to find the middle portion of the needle, and a dingman mouth gag was put in place for better visibility and easy surgical access (Fig. 4). Infiltration of local anesthetics (2% lidocaine hydrochloride with 1:100,000 epinephrine) was carried out in the left ramus area in order to reduce the bleeding.
Intra-oral radiographs taken using two needles of different thickness were used for localization of the needle fragment and for determining the incision site. One needle was located in the lingual mucosa of the left mandibular second primary molar, which was used as a fixed indicator. A second needle was inserted into the soft tissue overlying the medial border of the mandibular ramus, and the intra-oral radiograph was taken (Fig. 5). Subsequently, we made an approximate 4 cm mucosal incision from the medial side of the left retromolar pad area vertically downwards between the 2 needles in a direction almost perpendicular to the needle fragment. Careful dissection was carried out using a blunt dissection scissor and electrocautery. After moving the position of the second needle, an intra-oral radiograph was taken and the dissection was continued (Fig. 5). Finally, the needle was found and removed in one piece without any complications (Fig. 6). A Penrose drain was inserted and the mucosal incisions were sutured with 4.0 vicryl. The drain was removed after 3 days.
2 weeks later, the patient had progression of caries treatment and endodontic treatment under general anesthesia, the results confirm the surgical site was well healed without infection or complications.
Ⅲ. Discussion
In adults and children, there is a difference in the position of the mandibular foramen and in the injection depth of the needle. In adults, the mandibular foramen exists above the occlusal plan, however, in children, the foramen can be found from below the occlusal plane to the occlusal plane level [2]. Previous studies have reported that the needle migth be inserted approximately 21-mm deep into the soft tissue for inferior alveolar nerve block in adults, while it might be 15-mm deep in a child [6,7]. Clinicians should be sure to remember these differences when delivering the inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia.
A previous case study of 31 patients, in which needle fracture during inferior alveolar nerve anesthesia was reported, a 30G needle was used in 23 patients and a 27G needle was used in 8 patients [1]. The dimension and length of the needle should be carefully selected depending on the situation, and insertion of the full length of the needle should be avoided. Malamed [8] reported that the abrupt movement of a patient after the needle is already inserted was the major cause of needle fracture. In addition, a change in angulation of a needle that was already inserted into the tissue, would raise the risk of needle fracture. Pre-bending of the needle, particularly the hub area, may be a possible cause of needle fracture. If the needle is bent, the preset breaking point will be activated. In addition, the quality of the needle may affect the needle fracture, however, there have been no studies regarding needle quality, and further research is needed.
There are some details that need attention in order to prevent needle fracture during local anesthesia. The use of a too-thin or too-short needle should be avoided [1,9]. The most common gauges of dental needles are 25, 27, and 30 gauge. The higher the gauge number, the smaller the internal diameter. As the deflection of the needle is increased, the possibility of needle fracture rises. A previous study has reported that thicker needles are less deflected compared with thinner needles, as they penetrate the soft tissue [10]. There are three lengths of dental needle, long (31-mm), short (25-mm), and ultra-short (12-mm). The length of the needle should be decided by the type of injection, size of patient, and thickness of the target tissue. The hub portion of the needle should not be inserted near the mucosa, and there should be at least a 5-mm length of needle outside the tissue [11].
In the majority of pediatric patients, the 27-gauge short needle is recommended, and in most adult patients, 25-27 gauge long needle is recommended for inferior alveolar nerve block [12]. In addition, the needle should not be bent prior to injection, and insertion into tissue should not change the angulation. The angle should be changed after taking the needle out of the tissue. Finally, prevention of sudden movements should be taken by explaining the possible pain to the patient, especially a child, and by controlling the patient's head [1,11].
A fractured needle fragment should be removed as soon as possible due to the potential danger for migration to adjacent structures [2]. If the fractured needle is observed with the naked eye, it can be removed using a hemostat. However, if the entire length of the fractured needle fragment is embedded in the tissue, the attempt to determine the location of the needle can result in the deeper migration of the needle fragment. Moreover, the possibility of needle fragment migration can be increased by mouth movements such as swallowing and chewing. Thus, in such cases, it is recommended that at least mouth opening be minimized before removal of the needle fragment, and that removal of the needle fragment is performed under general anesthesia [13].
During removal of a foreign body from the oral cavity, the visibility of the surgical site and the identification of the exact position of the foreign body are essential. In the present case, since the fractured needle fragment was in the pterygomandibular space adjacent to the parapharyngeal space, we used a dingman mouth gag during the operation for ease of access. A dingman mouth gag is designed to retract the cheek while depressing the tongue, and offers good mouth opening and anchorage for sutures. It is a useful instrument for allowing easy surgical access during surgical procedures of the mouth and tonsils [14].
Various methods are used to find a needle fragment inserted in soft tissue. CT scans with three-dimensional reconstruction are recommended to localize the needle fragment and the surrounding structures before operation. Here, we conducted the operation after confirming that the exact location of the needle fragment was is in the pterygomandibular space adjacent to the parapharyngeal space, through CT scans with three-dimensional reconstruction. However, there is a possibility of migration of the needle fragment since the CT scans were obtained, thus imaging techniques with the purpose of locating the needle fragment during the operation is necessary. During the surgical procedure, plan film radiography, intra-oral radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging (C-arms), and ultrasonography can be used in order to detect foreign bodies [4]. In our case, we used plan film radiography (a combination of lateral and anteroposterior radiographs) and intra-oral radiography using two different thickness of needles as indicators. We could confirm the position of the fractured needle fragment correctly with these intraoperative imaging techniques.
In the present case, a 21-mm 30-gauge needle was used for injection without bending in a three-year, five-month-old boy under conscious sedation. When the needle was inserted into the tissue while the clinician stabilized the patient's head by supporting the head against the clinician's body, there was a sudden movement of the patient. As a result, the needle was inserted up into the hub, which is the most susceptible point for breakage, and needle fracture occurred. Through this, in children, there is an increased risk of sudden movement, we keep in mind that firm stabilization is very important element during local anesthesia.
If the fracture of a needle during local anesthesia occurs, the management of patient or caregiver is essential in order to prevent medical disputes. It is important to explain sufficiently to patient or caregiver and to offer an expression of sincere regret. In the present case, the caregiver was in office at the time of the incident and we were directly involved in all process including dental treatment, radiography, and surgical removal of the needle fragment. So we could easily explain the situation and get agreement on the process.
Ⅳ. Summary
The fracture of a needle during local anesthesia in dental treatment is rare, however when it occurs, the needle should be removed without damage to surrounding structures as soon as possible. Nevertheless, the removal of a needle fragment often requires the patient to endure traumatic surgery under general anesthesia and to be exposed to further ionizing radiation. Therefore, efforts are required to prevent needle fracture. In children, there is an increased risk of sudden movement, thus we should pay more attention even during conscious sedation, and use a sufficient dimension of needle that is not pre-bent.

Your second appointment will usually take 2 hours and includes one of our Newtown orthodontic assistants helping you place the orthodontic appliance of your choice. Our Newtown team will always want you to feel comfortable when you visit our office.

Common Orthodontic Issues
Here at the CT Braces orthodontic practice in Newtown, we can assist with a variety of orthodontic issues that include:
- Crowding of teeth
- Missing lateral incisors
- Spacing of teeth
- Phase-one: early orthodontic issues
- Open bite: front teeth don't touch
- Deep overbite: lower front teeth bite into palate
- Underbite: lower front teeth in front of upper teeth
- Overjet: protruding front teeth
Newtown Treatment Options
Child & Teenage Orthodontics & Teeth Straightening
If your child is facing issues such as crowding, spacing, protruding, jaw growth problems, or bad bites it could be the result of a few different factors. This could be as simple as inherited features, injury, early or late tooth loss, or thumb-sucking habits. Adult orthodontic procedures will take longer and may need orthodontic surgery compared to children because a child's jaw will only harden toward the end of their teenage years.
When your child receives orthodontic treatment at our Newtown office, we can help them straighten their teeth and prevent further needs for major orthodontist requirements as an adult. If your 7 years old seems to need orthodontic attention, or you've been recommended to our Newtown office, please reach out to us for an initial exam. This way we can lead you on the right path to straightening their child's teeth and helping them achieve a beautiful, bright smile.
Two-Phase Treatment
Our Two-Phase treatment includes a three-step process that is in place to make sure that your child will receive a healthy, beautiful smile.
- In Phase One, our Newtown orthodontist will assist you with any jaw growth, tooth crowding or space issues in your child's mouth. This will help to encourage proper alignment with their permanent teeth.
- Next, you will need a resting period where your child's permanent teeth can gradually grow in without the disturbance of a retainer.
- During Phase Two, your Orthodontist will place full upper and lower braces that will help with further alignment issues of permanent teeth.
If you are looking into this treatment for your child or have any additional questions, please contact our Newtown office today.
Adult Orthodontics
One in five orthodontic patients will be over the age of 21, reports by the American Association of Orthodontists concludes. Here at CT Braces of Newtown, we will always aim to provide you with a bright, straight smile that you've always dreamed of.
Compared to child orthodontics, adults will face more permanent damage or needs such as higher risk for gum or bone loss and worn or missing teeth. These can also be caused by incomplete orthodontic treatment as a teen.
CT Braces of Newtown understands the needs of adults, and we want to help you take care of any orthodontic issues you are facing. To learn more about our offerings, please contact our Newtown orthodontic practice today.
Newtown Surgical Orthodontics (Orthognathic Surgery)
Surgical orthodontics, also frequently called orthognathic surgery, is used to treat issues with:
· jaw bone formation
· bad bites
· malocclusion – misaligned teeth.
When a jaw isn't properly aligned, surgical orthodontics is needed and orthodontic braces to help move your teeth into the correct position. Your Newtown orthodontist at CT Braces will have an oral and maxillofacial surgeon perform your surgery at the hospital.
Your procedure will take several hours and we believe you should have a rest period of two to four weeks. After your surgery, you'll need to wear braces for six to twelve months and a retainer to maintain the placement of your teeth. Surgical orthodontics (orthognathic surgery) will be a major medical procedure that has been performed for many years. To keep you comfortable and confident with your pending decision, contact our Newtown orthodontic office to talk about your individual case.

BRP Sultan Kudarat (PS-22) is a Miguel Malvar-class corvette of the Philippine Navy. She was originally built as USS PCE-881, a PCE-842-class patrol craft for the United States Navy during World War II. She was acquired by the Philippine Navy on April 1976, and was commissioned later on as RPS Sultan Kudarat (PS-22). The ship is in active service. Along with other World War II-era ships of the Philippine Navy, Sultan Kudarat is considered as one of the oldest active fighting ships in the world today.[2]
Commissioned in the US Navy as USS PCE-895 in 1944, she was renamed USS Crestview (PCE-895) on 15 February 1956, named for the City of Crestview, Florida, "in accordance with a recent Navy decision to name its patrol vessels, previously known only by the hull number, by the names of cities of the United States with populations between 2,500 and 10,000".[3]
She was then transferred to the Republic of Vietnam on 29 November 1961. She served the Vietnamese Navy as RVNS Đống Đa II (HQ-07) up until her escape to the Philippines in 1975, together with other South Vietnamese Navy ships and their respective crew.[4]
She was formally acquired by the Philippine Navy on 5 April 1976 and was commissioned into the Philippine Navy on 27 July 1976 and was renamed RPS Sultan Kudarat (PS-22). She was renamed to BRP Sultan Kudarat (PS-22) in June 1980 using a new localized prefix.[5]
Between 1990 and 1991 the Sultan Kudarat underwent major overhaul, weapons and radar systems refit, and upgrade of communications gear.[6]
She is currently assigned with the Patrol Force of the Philippine Fleet.[7]
Technical details[edit]
There are slight differences between the BRP Sultan Kudarat as compared to some of her sister ships in the Philippine Navy, since her previous configuration was as a patrol craft escort (PCE), while the others are configured as rescue patrol craft escort (PCER) and minesweepers (Admirable class) ships.[1]
Originally the ship was armed with one Mk.26 3"/50 caliber dual purpose gun, three single Bofors 40 mm guns, one Hedgehog depth charge projector, four depth charge projectiles (K-guns) and two depth charge tracks.[4] Changes were made during its transfer to the South Vietnamese Navy, as it appears in photos show the removal of her anti-submarine weapons, and addition of four Mk.10 Oerlikon 20 mm guns.[4] This made the ship lighter and ideal for surface patrols, but losing her limited anti-submarine warfare capability. The same configuration applies when she was transferred to the Philippine Navy up until around 1990–1991.
During its overhaul and refit between 1990 and 1991,[6] the Philippine Navy made some changes in the armament set-up. Some sources claim the loss of its three Bofors 40mm cannons during the 1990–1991 overhaul and refit period,[1] but photos as of 2009 show the Bofors guns still present.[citation needed] Final armaments fitted to the ship are one Mk.26 3"/50-caliber gun (fore), three single Bofors 40 mm cannons (aft), four Mk.10 Oerlikon 20 mm cannons (2 each on bridge wings), and four M2 Browning .50 cal (12.7 mm)caliber machine guns (2 besides main bridge, 2 aft near the lower Bofors gun tub).[1]
Also during the refit the ship's RCA CRM-NIA-75 surface search radar and RCA SPN-18 navigation radar[6] was replaced by a Raytheon AN/SPS-64(V)11 surface search and navigation radar system.[1] Later modifications included the installation of an additional Furuno navigation radar, long range and satellite communications system and GPS system standard to all Philippine Navy ships.
The ship is powered by two GM 12-278A diesel engines, with a combined rating of around 2,200 bhp (1,600 kW) driving two propellers. The main engines can propel the 914 tons (full load) ship to a maximum speed of around 16 knots (30 km/h).[8]
Recent photos show that air-conditioning was also installed on the Sultan Kudarat.[citation needed]

[callout class="tip"]"Every line is the perfect length if you don't measure it."
— Marty Rubin, Author of Boiled Frog Syndrome[/callout]
In a previous post, we talked about how time tracking and invoicing data go hand-in-hand. We've established an equation that looks like that:
[tweetme]Time tracking = Accurate invoicing data = Happy customers[/tweetme]
Indeed, time tracking is useful in helping you plan your hours and days. We've seen the way software development teams are using the data from time tracking to ensure transparency in generating invoices. But did you know that your data is also an indication of the areas of improvements?
Believe it or not, your project managers hold the key to this knowledge.
Wait, but why?
Like any other team, the main reason to track time is to understand how much work is put into a certain project.
We've iterated in our previous post that behind every invoice is an extensive amount of data that leads to the sum stated on the invoice. When it comes to managing projects, no matter which team, this data will help you effectively keep your projects in check.
Here's an example:
Time tracking data is vital when it comes to charging your customers for the amount of support provided such as helping users get up to speed with a solution or service to resolve technical issues with SAAS solutions as well as IT support and so on.
[callout class="user"]Support is typically charged in two ways — pay as you go (PAYG) or on a monthly basis.
- Pay-as-you-go support charges customers every time they request support and is generally charged by the hour. Metaphorically speaking, it is like going grocery shopping for a very specific dish.
- A monthly contract, on the other hand, charges a fixed amount to cover the customer's support needs which may include a service level agreement. That would be your monthly shopping to cover your basic needs.
- Then, there is also the mix-and-match of charging for support using both PAYG and a monthly contract.[/callout]
Let's assume you are operating a SAAS solution and part of the package includes offering your customer 300 hours/month of support free of charge which are covered by the contract. It usually also states the type and cost of services that are included. Anything else in addition will be charged additionally.
This kind of setup means that you need to keep track of how many hours have been spent and update your customer accordingly, especially if it is exceeding the agreed amount of hours, using a comprehensive data. This is to ensure they get a clear overview and understanding of time is spent.
As before, you can use the data to gain a more accurate idea of how much support is needed. This includes estimating the amount of hours of support that is provided to your customer during the negotiation.
What could go wrong?
Nothing, really.
Having accurate data is equivalent to having accurate facts to back an argument. It is better to have an abundance than to not have enough supporting information.

Let's Hear it for Lost's Most Interesting Character (spoilers)
I know, I know. More traditionalists would answer Ben or Locke or Juliet, but not me. This week's season finale solidified in my mind that the character of Sun is the most interesting and most dynamic character on the show. It doesn't hurt that Yunjin Kim is a fantastic actress either.
Just look at where she started in comparison to where she is now. In the first season, she was the largely silent and dominated wife of Daniel Dae Kim's Jin. She was meek and afraid to speak to others. Soon, through flashback, we learned that we didn't have the whole story. We learned that she spoke English, that she had been planning to leave her husband, that she had an affair. Eventually, Jin found it, and they've become equal partners in the relationship. Where the last part of Thursday's finale leaves them is open for debate, I think . . . I'm not totally buying his demise.
And now, in flash forwards, it seems that Sun has become the same kind of shrewd yet cruelly calculating business woman as her father. Did she approach Charles Widmore to get back at Ben, or is she setting a trap for the shady fellow and father of Penelope? I have no idea, but I'm interested to see how much further they can develop this constantly growing character.

she has always been my favourite on the show. I know people love Ben and Locke, but they are overly written characters, you never see then has a whole human being. Sun on the other hand is this. She has done things on the island that will forever change her. She is a murderer!
I totally agree with on this. I also have to say the in the brief glimspes you see of Claire (in the hut and the season finale) she has made such an impression that I hope season 5 brings more of her.

Oh, I've always found Sun interesting since day one. With the whole faking English thing, she had my heart.
That ff with Charles was freaky good! I'm so curious what THAT is all about but Yunjin Kim plays it so well.
I agree with Michael on the Claire thing too. Sun and Claire are generally more underwritten than the guys but I think the actresses have played it so well that there's still so much to be explored.

Midnight Adventure of Mr Nelson
Nelson, our 15+ year old mixed breed dog, escaped from our yard via the golf course on Saturday November 28. Our Daughter Kim was distraught, which was a surprise coming from a 20 year old, she said, Just when I just started to love Charlie he goes missing. So, we started looking around for help and a friend of us knew Lets Find Your Pet and told us to contact them immediately. We did that and Lets Find Your Pet then printed and distributed signs in the neighborhood announcing Lost Dog and to contact us if found, contacted local council and local pounds and shelters. 4 hours later, a gentleman who was 8 km away from our home saw Mr Nelson, contacted Lets Find Your Pet as he saw the missing pet poster in his area. Gotta be more careful from now on

Sarah's neighbourhood camping trip
I found her late last night in my backyard (but not really my backyard). I live in townhouses which are terraced into hillside/cliff and she was in a bottom terrace/overgrown area. She had been away for 12 days and she certainly wasn't there before as I looked everyday and moved every bush. However I went out again last night about 8.30pm with a torch and was softly calling her and I heard a meow and she was hiding under shrubbery.
She was so close to home and the back door was open not sure why she was hiding there. Anyway she was scared and very skinny. I brought her inside and feed her and she was very happy. All good news in the end. She is at home relaxing by the heater with lots of food and drink for her to eat as she pleases and she can't escape. Thanks for yoru help. Regards Jan

1. African Love Stories an Anthology by Ama Ata Aidoo
There is something about a good short story, short enough to get it's point across, and also keep you wanting for more. I am hoping this first read can do just that. This author is by far one of my favorite African women writers so this book definitely made my top read for the summer.
2. Baking Cakes in Kigali, Gaile Perkins
I honestly loved the name of this book, and my goal was to get light hearted reads this summer and this one caught my eye.
3. The Spider King's Daughter, Chibunbo Onuzo
This book seems interesting and has a love story twist to it, so I definitely had to put it on my to read list.
4. We need new names, Noviolet Bulawayo
I am currently reading this book and I absolutely love the point of view and it's set in zimbabwe can't wait to dig in a bit more this summer.

Effulgent No Longer
Summery: Takes place in season 6 after Hells Bells. Spike confronts Halfrek/Cecily
Halfrek took a deep breath as she moved among the tombstones, nervously pulling her coat around her shivering form. This was a bad idea from the start. She knew it and D'hoffryn had known it, telling her that confronting her past as a human was bad business…especially when that past included people that were now vampires. But she didn't listen. When she had seen him at the Slayer's house, she had been shocked. She had thought him dead. She had thought that she'd never see him again. But obviously that was not true. He had fallen victim to a vampire attack and now not only walked among the undead, but among the Slayer's clique as well. She hadn't known what to say or do. But watching him tonight at the now defunct wedding…she knew what she had to do. She had to set things right for William…somehow…if he allowed her to.
She cringed as she remembered the last words she had spoken that night, when William had laid his heart out for her to trample on. "You're beneath me." Looking back, she regretted that statement. She had liked William back then. Really, she had. But if she had even let on that she had shared his feelings…Richard would never had let her live it down…Richard who had died from a railroad spike driven right through his head. Oh dear.
Finally she came upon the crypt that Clem thing had directed her to. William had a twisted taste in lairs it seemed. Pulling at the hem of the short dress she wore, Halfrek knocked, hoping that the vampire inside wouldn't be too put out by her visit and wouldn't get angry with her for wanting to dig up the past. She stood there for five seconds, waiting for him to come to the door. Impatiently, she knocked again, thinking of how rude it was of him not to answer the door straight away.
"Bloody hell! Hold on! Don't get your knickers in a twist! I'm coming!" Spike called, the sound of his heavy boots clamping on the floor as he headed for the door.
Cecily frowned. Where did the cockney accent come from? William's voice had an aristocratic lilt to it. Not this rough, working class…noise. The door opened to reveal the platinum haired, shirtless vampire, who glared at her recognition. So. He remembered her after all.
"What the hell do you want? Wasn't getting me turned into a vampire enough for you? Or do you have a werewolf behind you to finish the job?"
"Hello William," Cecily nervously smiled. She knew he had a reason to be cruel to her, but still…he should try to be a bit more civilized. What would his mother have said if she knew?
"Spike," he snorted, walking back into his crypt, leaving the door open for her to enter.
"Pardon me?"
"I don't go by William anymore. Haven't for over a century. I go by Spike now. Got that named from driving railroad spikes through the heads of those snooty friends of yours."
Halfrek's eyes widened in dismay. That was him? Oh poor Richard. If only he had watched what he said about William's poetry…
"What do you want Cecily? I don't have all night. Got places to go, people to scare," Spike leaned against his fridge, lighting a cigarette in an effort to look cool as he pushed back the familiar feelings of awkwardness he had once felt when he was human and in Cecily's presence. He felt that any minute, he would turn back into that whimpering idiot and begin spouting off poetry about her beauty. He couldn't help but to snort as that thought went through his head. Looking at her now, she wasn't the great beauty he had once thought she was. She definitely couldn't hold a candle to his slayer.
Halfrek coughed, waving away the smoke that drifted in her direction. "Must you do that in my presence? It is quite unpleasant."
"More the reason to do it," Spike grinned, his eyes gleamed with malicious glee. Ah yes. William was not a simpering fool any longer. "Listen, Cecily. Just get to the point of this little visit then leave. You're not one of my favorite people and the less I see of you the better."
"Excuse me? For one, it's Halfrek now. Cecily is a name I haven't gone by in a century. You want me to call you Spike, then call me Halfrek."
"Ok. Fine. Halfrek. What do you bloody want? Can't a bloke just keep to himself without a bint from his past getting all up in his face?!"
Halfrek blinked in surprise. William certainly had changed. He was so brash and rude now. Nothing like the aristocratic gentleman that had attempted to woo her with his horrible poems. Of course, if mythology was to be believed, this really wasn't William. Just a demon dressed up in his corpse taking advantage of his memories. But then again, she never did believe in mythology, plus the resentment coming off the creature before her was too real. No. This indeed was William. "Why…I…I came to talk to you. I wanted to apologize for my behavior the night of that party."
Spike laughed. He laughed and laughed. So that was it. Ole Cecily was having a fit of conscious? Where was that conscious when she had so cruelly told him that he was beneath her? Where was that conscious when she stomped his heart into the ground and handed it over to Drusilla on a silver platter? "You're sorry? You're sorry?! Oh this is rich. This is too much! Do you know what happened after I left that party? Do you want to hear what I went through?"
Halfrek just smiled weakly, a ill feeling settling into the pit of her stomach. Something told her that she wasn't going to like what she was about to hear. That she should just go now. Go back to D'hoffryn and prepare for her next assignment. But she couldn't. She deserved this. She owed him this. He had been a wonderfully poetic young man, and obviously she had destroyed him beyond repair.
"I left that insipid party of yours and was on my way home. I was a simpering mess. I wanted to go somewhere dark and die alone with my horrible poems. But I wasn't alone. She came to me out of the darkness and told me that I was meant for greater things. Seduced me with my own words she did. And when she sank her fangs into my throat, I didn't care. The woman I loved had rebuked me. There was no reason for me to live any longer. I welcomed death at that point. But death never came because I found myself clawing my way out of my grave, a new man. A new man out for blood," Spike smiled, a distant look in his eyes, as if he was remembering happy times. Oh, we painted the town red that night. First visit I made was to your pal Richard. He wanted a railroad spike through his head instead of listening to those awful poems, so that was exactly what I gave him. You should have heard him, begging for his mediocre life. Apologizing and swearing that he'd do better. Bah!" Spike laughed. "I did that bloke a right favor, putting him out of his misery."
"Oh Wil-Spike…I don't…"
"I was going to come after you next. Wanted to get back some of my own. Almost did. But I could never get you alone and by time I did find you alone, ole Angelus, Dru's sire, wanted to move on. Said all those killings I did were drawing too much attention. So we left London and I never bothered to go back. You just weren't worth it."
Halfrek stared at the ground, feeling horrified for her past actions. All of it was indeed her fault. She had sent William out to his doom. There was no way she could ever make up for it. No way at all.
"I ought to thank you and your friends though. Gave me a right suitable name. William the Bloody took on a whole new meaning," Spike grinned, tossing away his cigarette. "I learned from Angelus himself, a right ferocious bastard. The scourge of Europe. And after he became affected with a soul, I took his place. Dru and I, we owned Europe. "
"Spike…I'm sorry. I know that what happened to you was all my fault. I destroyed the man you were and I supposed I helped create the man you are now…"
She was interrupted by laughter, deep and sarcastic. She looked at him in surprise as he paced the crypt.
"Don't flatter yourself, Pet. You have nothing to do with the man I am today. Only one woman holds that honor. And if anyone deserves have poetry written about them, it's her. She's strong, brave, beautiful, and loyal. She'd never do to poor William what you had done. No pet. You could never hold a candle to Buffy."
Halfrek's eyes widened in amazement. Why, some things didn't change after all. William was always reaching for the unattainable and this was unattainable as one could get. "The slayer? My goodness, you're in love with the slayer?! The last I heard, you were killing slayers, not falling in love with them!"
Spike shrugged, lighting up another cigarette. "What can I say. She's quite the woman. More woman then you and fluttering girlfriends could ever be."
"Why I…I don't know what to say..I'm sorry…"
"I'm not. Dru saved me from a life full of mediocrity, she did. If it hadn't been for her, I would have died a simpering weakling and had never met my slayer and lil' bit. So don't worry about it," Spike shrugged off the apology. He then looked at her curiously. "Now that I've told you mine, tell me yours. How did Miss. Cecily Wimple become a mighty vengeance demon? Some man finally saw you for the bitch you were and ran for greener pastures?"
Halfrek blinked, again taken aback by his bluntness. She had to keep reminding herself that this wasn't her William anymore. He no longer cared about propriety. "No. That was Anyanka's deal. Her man dumped her, she got revenge and became a vengence demon. I on the other hand…well…my children were murdered and I found their killer and enacted vengeance on him. D'hoffryn liked what he saw and now I'm here to avenge the children."
Spike just nodded. "Well…Halfrek. I can't say that it's been good to see you. Just interesting. Now that you've assuaged you guilty conscious, you may leave now," Spike walked to the door and opened it.
"Spike…it's good to know that you're happy at any rate. I'm…happy that you were able to move on. I'm sure that the slayer is a very lucky woman."
"Yeah yeah. Get out."
"Good bye. William," Halfrek smiled, exiting the crypt. She turned around, just to find the door closing in her face. "Well, that was rude." She snorted, before teleporting back to get her new assignment.
Spike in the mean time stood with his back against the wall, his blue eyes full of pride in himself. He hadn't broken down into a simpering mess after all. He had maintained his cool and kept his air of indifference. He had shown that cold bitch what it was like to get the cold shoulder.
Effulgent? Now why did he ever think that her beauty was such a thing. Cecily wasn't all that beautiful. She never even came close to Buffy's, whose beauty really was effulgent. Smiling to himself, he took a step outside and looked up at the stars. It was a beautiful night for patrol. Maybe he could hook up with the slayer and they can patrol together. Maybe even slay a certain vengeance demon if they should happen upon her.
Grinning to himself, Spike headed out for the Summer's residence, finally putting his past as William behind him.
The End.

Shall I compare you to things I admire?
Tie you in bunches of fresh word flowers?
Both of us know that they'll wilt and tire,
But still they place you within my powers.
Why? To compare you is to control you:
If I say you're eternal summer to me,
It follows that this can only be true
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see.
Instead I'll accept your uniqueness
Will live when I have gone,
And might be shared, if you impress
Your lovely self an an other one.
So back to the question, "Shall I compare you?"
I just don't think it'd be fair to.

Last week, we told you about a secret Amazon sale that slashed prices on two of the most popular Alexa-enabled smart plugs. For those unfamiliar with smart plugs, these nifty little gadgets plug into a standard wall outlet, then anything you want can be plugged into the box, from coffee makers and lamps to fans and air conditioners. If your smart plug works with Alexa, that means you can say things like "Alexa, turn on my fan" and presto, you're enjoying a cool breeze without lifting a finger.
The best price last week's secret Amazon sale yielded was $18 for the popular TP-Link Smart Plug, which is definitely a great price. Right now, however, Amazon is offering a 2-pack of HAUSBELL Smart Plugs for just $32 even. That's $16 a piece, and it's the lowest price we've ever seen for a well-reviewed smart plug with Alexa compatibility.
Here are some key details from the product page:
- Smart and easier life you can now walk into a brightly lit home after work with your favorite song playing and coffee maker working and never worry if you left the iron heater or hair strengthener on
- Trouble saving saves the trouble of having to plug and unplug your electric appliances a great assistant to the mobility impaired
- On Off Schedules and Timers devices should work for you whenever you want them to turn on/off your devices based on specific times you set
- Note Press and hold for 5 seconds until the Wi Fi LED blinks amber and green alternately to initiate the App Config process
- Power saving eliminate wasteful standby power and prevent overcharging and overheating save on your electric bills and extend product life

Inspired by the Illustration Friday theme, Legendary, and the short story collection Australian Legendary Tales.

Mushrooms (Porcini)
Grocery | In stock
Sliced dried porcini mushrooms have a hearty flavor that makes them great for use in Italian sauces, pizza, pasta, and bruschetta. These mushrooms are most often dried and imported, as they are hard to grow in the United States. They are GMO and gluten free and look, feel, and taste just like fresh mushrooms when rehydrated.
Our sliced dried porcini mushrooms are always GLUTEN FREE, have NO MSG, NO SODIUM and NO SUGAR added.

Hide Forgot
Description of Problem:
In one of the last statements in /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt a $MODEL -k $DEVICE
command is executed to power down the UPS (when configured). However,
these UPS-specific commands are in /usr/bin, so when you have a separate
/usr filesystem, this filesystem is already unmounted at this moment.
Conclusion: the will *never* work on any system with a separate /usr
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How Reproducible:
On any system with an UPS configured and a seperate /usr filesystem.
The command could be moved up in the script before filesystems are
unmounted. Maybe this works, but what about NFS-mounted /usr filesystems?
Or should the UPS daemons go to /bin instead of /usr/bin?
Moving the command before unmounting the filesystems doesn't work either, as
then the command (apcsmart in my case) blocks several seconds and then powers
down the UPS before the halt script proceeds... :-(.
Putting apcsmart in /bin and using the original halt script doesn't work as
expected, as it blocks a while and then indeed powers down the system, but
without any delay so that the halt script finishes correctly. It might be able
to call apcsmart in a proper way, but standard it doesn't work ok. Technically
this should be possible, as smupsd also tells a Smart-UPS to power down, but
with a 20 seconds delay.
could you please try to add -d0 into /etc/init.d/halt if it works.
if [ "$command" = halt ] ; then
if [ -r /etc/ups/upsmon.conf -a -f /etc/killpower -a -f /etc/sysconfig/ups ]
; then
. /etc/sysconfig/ups
[ "$SERVER" = "yes" -a "$MODEL" != "NONE" -a -n "$MODEL" -a -n "$DEVICE"
] && $MODEL -d0 -k $DEVICE
Yes, adding -d0 seems to work fine. So, now there should be defined an
additional variable in /etc/sysconfig/ups to enable this kind of options. Maybe
the current OPTIONS should be split into OPTIONS_START and OPTIONS_HALT or so...
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of
If this persists on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4, please open a new bug.

Investment in online finance start-ups hit an all-time high last year of close to £20bn, in a threat to the dominance of traditional high street banks.
An explosion in mobile banking and digital transactions has put lenders with big branch networks on the defensive, as consumers increasingly try services from fast-growing online competitors, such as mobile bank Monzo or foreign exchange service Revolut.
A report by consultancy Accenture shows global investment in so-called financial technology (fintech) companies hit a record high of $27.4bn (£19.8bn) in 2017, up 18pc on the prior year. Funding for the sector has reached $97.7bn since 2010.
Deal values quadrupled in Britain to $3.4bn, while the US saw a 31pc jump to $11.3bn. Much of the investment into the two countries came from "big new investment flows" from China, Russia, the Middle East and other emerging economies, the report found. India also saw a nearly five-fold surge in investment to $2.4bn.
Major fundraisings in the UK last year included digital insurance distributor BGL Group…

Neruppu Da singer Arunraja Kamaraj, who is best known for his works as lyricist in films including Theri, Pencil,Kabali and Jigarthanda is keen to direct a movie.
'I came into cinema as an assistant director. Since the movie I worked (Vettai Mannan) got shelved, I started penning lyrics for my survival. Then I got to sing a song in Jigarthanda, through Santhosh Narayan, which was critically acclaimed. I always wanted to be a director, and I am gearing up for my directorial debut'.
'I am rewriting it because if I had done this earlier no one would have cared if it hits or flops. But now, I have to be careful about each and every step that I take. People are expecting the best from me'.

Capturing your day and the beginning of your life… together
Wedding Photography
As a bride to be, you're filled with enthusiasm and expectation. You want your photography to not only show that but the product you receive to embolden the emotion felt on your big day. At Visions Photo Studios we believe in that emotion, we capture it and deliver it in a way that creates lasting memories and beautiful heirlooms that can be passed down to your future generations.
Photo Booth
An interesting phenomenon happens at weddings. The truth is everyone stops and smiles for the camera. As photographers we see it every day. While our photographers are capturing the emotion & love of your day, our photo booth will capture the fun side of things, even from those members of your family that might hide from the photographer. It's an amazing thing to see, families stop and smile, fix their hair for the photographer but for the photo booth they are just their fun loving self, and we love it!
Sweet 16 & Quinceañera
We believe there are two big days in a women's life. The day she gets married is obvious, but an often forgotten day is the day she starts to become a women. This treasured day is treated differently throughout different cultures but one thing is for sure, we believe it should be remembered with the same emotion and enthusiasm as her wedding day because on her wedding day she can look back at how she has grown. Wall art & albums from our sweet 16s and Quinceañeras will stay with her throughout her life and be an emotional reminder for life.

Feels a fair bit like the weekend already here in Noosa. Everyone's in holiday mode and movements are kept to the necessary. In fact it's been a lot like a weekend for most of the week. Ever since the swell's dropped even the surfing has slowed right down with the point breaks taken out of the equation. Competition has moved up the beach to Access 12 where there's a neat little peak serving up small lefts and rights. The Under 18 boys were styling through the early heats this mornings with their light frames suiting the conditions. Jack Entwistle few the flag for the Manly Mal Club taking 2nd in his heat to advance through to the next round. The crew in the Old Mal division found the going a little tougher. No doubt the extra foam and weight of the old tanks came in handy. Huge shout out to Issy Brailey who took it to the fella's in the Old Mal and advanced through to the next round. Yeah Izzy!
We'll be getting to the pointy end of most of the divisions this afternoon with semi's and finals to be run over the weekend. Should be some entertaining surfing regardless of the conditions with the talent that's here in Noosa.
Word on the web is that there's a decent South Swell due to hit Sydney soon and it'll hopefully fill in up the coast. Whether that has any impact on conditions up here in Noosa I guess we'll just wait and see. Enjoy your weekend where ever you are.

Hittite/ Choson/ Greek
The best diversity combination for three versus three. The top three tribes put all together. Greek acts as a bond between Hittite and Choson's differences by addiding siege support and infantry support. Choson continually attacks opponents and Hittite bangs away at any non-infantry opponent. Each tribe in this combination can defeat each other's counter tribes, making them have few weaknesses and very many strong points. People who have played together should go for this combination. Integrated building and possession of land will almost insure victory. Elephant rushing from the Hittite, tower rushing from the Greek, and a legion rush from the Choson all at once will defeat your opponents quicker than it took the game to get started. Use infantry and siege wisely and carefully, they should be effective.
