READ TIME / 10 mins
The two dog brothers in Greek mythology, Orthos and Cerberus, are the focus of the recent releases from Lew & Huey. Chris Vail is developing a great following on Watchuseek, and is almost becoming the darling of the Affordables section (although don't tell him I called him that). His brand displays a lot of influence from our canine friends, especially through Sparky, the dog in the logo. I'm a dog lover, and have a spaniel. He's pretty cool, although not quite as cool as the pet of a Greek god.
Currently the Cerberus costs $525 / £345. So what do you get for your money? Let's take a closer look.
The case
The weight of the Cerberus is 180g. So straight away you get a feeling of quality, thanks to the sheer heft of the thing.
It's also reasonably large for what seems to be a cross over of a dress and divers watch. Measuring in with a 42mm diameter, 50mm lug to lug length, and a height of 12.5mm, it's not on the slim and slender end of the spectrum. The specs say that it is large, but truthfully, it doesn't wear as such. This is probably mainly due to the thin bezel allowing most of the diameter to be the dial, plus the blue rehaut does an impressive job of creating a slight optical illusion. The size may be a turn off for some; but for me, I'm happy with a decent sized case – especially when it manages to appear less than it actually is.
The case is 316L stainless steel, and is finished alternatively in a variety of places. The bezel and top are polished; as is the caseback. The sides and underneath are brushed, as well as a lovely little touch being the inside angle of the lugs (creating a great contrast in finish). Where the opposing finishes meet, the join is clean and accurate. The finishing in general is very good, with no signs of any poor machinery. I really like the polished bezel – with its mirror-like finish it really sets the watch off in how it reflects the light.
The Cerberus boasts a sapphire crystal with an excellent layer of anti-reflective coating. This works splendidly with the light coloured dial, providing brilliant clarity.
The caseback is screw-in and fully polished, with a motif of Cerberus the three-headed dog. It's fairly light etching, but enough to get good definition on it. Surrounding this are details of the watch, such as the name, water resistance rating and the date it was built.
The crown is push-pull, and features Sparky the dog deeply engraved on the end. I think from a design viewpoint it could have been a little thinner, but this may have resulted in it being hard to use. The grip is fairly deep, without being too excessively chunky and aggressive looking, matching the watch well. It allows you to set the time and date perfectly well with no issues at all.
The Cerberus has a 100m rating of water resistance. It possibly could have been higher if it had a screw-in crown, but to be honest it's not a diver, so this is plenty. It does mean that you can immerse it fully under shallow water, which is perfectly suitable.
One final thing to note (more on it later) is that the lugs are drilled-through, so you can access the spring bars form the outside, making changing the bracelet easy and reducing any damage that may happen from doing so.
The case as a whole is very well made, and has good fit and finish to boot.
The dial
The lovely linear guilloche pattern within the centre section is the main star of the Cerberus. It's all constructed with precision, and reflects the light alternatively depending on the angle, which is visually very pleasant.
The logo is situated in the top half, and the words Cerberus and automatic are in the bottom half. These are all printed on a slight raised platform which is good to see, and are printed precisely too. As one of the people who aren't too fussed about the logo, I'm pleased to see it take on a more understated approach, being the same silver colour as the dial itself.
The central section is flanked by two chaper rings, both made of stainless steel with a circular brushed finish and at different heights. I think these provide an excellent subtle framing to the centre. Both have the minute track printed on, so they do serve a purpose rather than just being a design feature.
I always enjoy applied hour markers, and the Cerberus does not disappoint. I especially like how they're all sunken into the first chapter ring. A lot of time and effort would have gone into getting this just right, and that is what it certainly is. They are all 3D batons with beveled edges and lumed centres, precisely made and applied.
The date window is located at 6, which is good to see rather than the more common position at 3. It has an engaging polished steel border around it, contributing to the reflective arrangement of the entire dial.
The lume on the Cerberus is very good; above average as tends to be the case for Lew and Huey: the Acciona had outstanding lume. The lume on the Cerberus does indeed perform better than others in this price range.
The hour and minute hands are a delicious shape, being a type of dauphine where they have a steady increase of width. They have rounded pointed tips, and a curved bottom, with lumed centres. The seconds hand is thin, sporting a red tip, and a nice little plane as a counter balance. All of the hands are flawlessly made.
The rehaut has a gorgeous deep blue colouring to it, so deep it's almost purple. This is an impressive design feature as it doesn't spill onto the dial at all, but when the light catches it just right, there's an attractive bluish tinge that flashes across the underneath of the crystal. This mimics a much more expensive watch with that lovely top side anti-reflective hue (think Omega Plant Ocean), but without the added cost and the possibility of scratching it. I think this is a great addition and has transformed the watch from a standard watch to a fantastic looking watch in the flesh.
The dial on the Cerberus is great. I love the design, and the execution is great to match.
The movement
The movement within the Cerberus is the Miyota 9015 – a movement we're becoming incredibly well acquainted with. It's found in a huge amount of high quality affordable watches, due to it being a cheaper equivalent to the popular Swiss autos by ETA and Sellita. It offers the same specs as they do; namely, a high beat of 28.8k bph (8 ticks a second), over 40 hours power reserve, and hand winding ability and a hacking seconds. It's fairly accurate straight out the box too, and I've jet to hear of one break. They're rugged (not the best looking mind you), dependable, and will look after you for many years to come.
The strap
The bracelet, much like the one on the Orthos (it seems to be the same bracelet) is superbly chunky and built to last.
It measures 22mm at the lugs, reducing to 20mm within first two links. So it's certainly thick – and not only in its width. The links are also very hefty and Lew & Huey haven't skimped on the steel here – there's a plentiful used in each and every link. I personally love a decent heavy, chunky bracelet, so I'm pretty impressed by it.
The entire bracelet is fully brushed stainless steel, which not only is suitable from a design perspective but also practical. I always find polished bracelets gather hairline scratches instantaneously without even wearing it. The bracelet also boasts solid end links, which of course is always a good plus, especially when they fit the case well, as is the case with the Cerberus.
The links all have standard pins, so you'll need a pin removal tool to resize the bracelet, but this is simple enough. One positive that I always like to see is drilled-through lugs on the case. This means the lugs have holes drilled through on the sides, so it's easy to remove the bracelet – you just push a thin tool through which releases the spring pin in the end lugs. The reason why this is a plus is that you don't scratch or damage the case in any way when trying to remove the bracelet, which can at times be a real pain.
Another design positive that I really like is the "H" links used on the bracelet. It's a style not used often enough, and it results in a comfortable wear. This is because the H links and mid section links work well together to create more angles, and therefore a much smoother underneath for the wrist.
The buckle is also fully brushed, and is very secure thanks to the fact that it's double locking. The two locks are firstly the flap, which has a deep engraving of "Lew & Huey", followed by the main clasp section which has to be opened up by depressing the pushers on either side. So it's definitely dependable – there's very little chance that this will pop open by itself.
One final thing to notice regarding the bracelet is how much larger than normal it is. I have a 7.5″ wrist, and to get the bracelet to fit I've had to take out all but one link. So I fear that if you have a wrist smaller than 7″ I'm not too sure if it'll fit you.
That one small issue aside, it is a great bracelet, with attractive design and impressive build quality to back it up.
The competition
The competition that first came to mind for me is the Steinhart Ocean 1. It's similar in that it can be classed as a bit of a smart / diver crossover watch. It'll cost you £300, and is Swiss Made and excellently put together. The only problem is getting one (they can be hard to obtain), plus they're not exactly unique – it's just like any other Submariner homage currently available.
For a slightly smarter watch, but from a company made from the same stock as Lew & Huey, there's the Melbourne Watch Co Flinders. It's slightly more elegant and smart, and has a similar vertical linear guilloche on the dial. It'll cost around £280, but isn't built quite as tank-like as the Cerberus.
Final comments
I think the Cerberus is the best Lew & Huey yet. It combines great build quality with outstanding, classy design. I love the dial, especially the way it plays with the coloured rehaut. £345 is a pretty standard price for a decent watch by a boutique brand, so you're definitely getting your money's worth with the Cerberus.

No self respecting man would wear a watch with a childish dog logo. Leave the jokes on the online forum, if you're going to design a watch be serious. Looks like another Omega stolen design.
James, life is short……wear a fun watch. If you don't like this dog, try their spectre. Dog is on the reverse so you should be fine without seeing it. Fortunately , mine is a brilliant Orange.
Some men should wear necklace, and your dog a watch like this.
No, no… these suckers have no dog!
There is a reason why no one is lining up to buy Lew Huey watches.
Haha so true Chris does blow up a lot but it's pretty entertaining watching him justify a watch that is clearly defective. The L&H loyalist will never admit it but I would be pretty ticked if I got a watch with a defective crown. It basically makes the hacking seconds function useless. He still has his small die hard group that would buy anything he designs without question so i wouldn't say people aren't going to be buying these watches.
Here we go again. As soon as any blogger posts a review of any watch from this brand, the haters come out in force.
Can anyone explain why he has such a legion of followers if he's such a horrible person? It doesn't seem to make any sense. Does it?
Here's what I see – he's been an active participant on a watch forum, where the threads he starts are quite popular, and he's made many friends. He welcomes new members, takes the time to help people find the watch they're looking for, put a lot of work in as an unpaid member of their forum project watch, and oh, by the way, sells a quality product at a fair price, and by all accounts from those who've actually bought from him he offers outstanding service. He's got a sharp wit, that's for sure, and his writing is entertaining as hell. All leading to a handful of people being really jealous, and going out of their way to tear him down, yet he just keeps right on going, only infuriating them further.
Actually really digging the look of this watch. I don't really mind that it's an Aqua Terra Omega homage I think doc changes enough for this design to be kinda original. I'd probably be all over this thing if there was a chance that I would receive a high level of customer service for the foreseeable future.
I've seen on watchuseek that the Lew Huey brand does not have the best track record when it comes to resolving customer issues with defective watches. Unfortunately unless that changes I'll probably hold off on buying this watch.
If I'm going to buy a homage watch at this price I'd rather buy a Steinhart at least I'll be getting a Swiss made watch at a lower price. Don't really get the appeal of these China made micro watches. At least come up with an original design to tempt me.
Not taking a chance on micro brands anymore. Mine came with a sticky crown that basically completely ruined the hacking feature. Msged the owner multiple times for warranty work over the past month. Not surprising that there was no response. Steer clear of this brand unless you're okay with a less than 100% movement. I'm taking mine to my watch guy to get fixed then I'm throwing it on watchrecon to be sold. Waste of money and time.

T.P.Customs Guitars
It's a concept that started in 2013.
For many years I have been researching, collecting and learning the history of guitars and makers, my passion extended in Italian design and the attention to details. my interest to learn took me to study University for guitar making in London, meantime I became apprentice for a great master luthier, learning techniques and secrets from the best, and listening stories of guitar heroes, until I decided I wanted to take my own road and create my own guitar name.
I never wanted to make anything new, in fact, I wanted to make old guitars, I wanted to make a guitar never seen before, but familiar, like was always there..
Inspired by great makers and innovators of the mid century, the futuristic designs of 60's Japanese and Italian guitar brands, and the iconic Moseley's creations out of Bakersfield CA., I began to build prototypes, choosing quality tonewoods, and researching the market to incorporate handmade beautiful and high standard hardware and pickups, but most importantly, making them by hand in the most traditional way.

(Pocket-lint) - Today is Safer Internet Day, so let's focus on YouTube. When children ask to go on the internet they usually mean "watch YouTube videos" and since the YouTube Kids app launched a couple of years ago, there has been a dedicated online destination for them to visit.
But while it opens an Aladdin's cave of characters, ideas, stories and adventures to young minds, for parents it can and should also ring alarm bells. Unlike the safe-zones of CBBC and other known broadcasters, online video is often an unknown entity and recent revelations have shown that some inappropriate content slips through Google's net. There are some videos on the YouTube Kids app you really wouldn't want your child to see.
These are few and far between, of course, but if you are worried, here are our guidelines and tips on how to ensure your kids enjoy YouTube content in the safest way possible.
Getting started: YouTube vs YouTube Kids
If your child uses the main YouTube app rather than YouTube Kids, it's important to have a shared family account so that you can easily track what videos are being watched and suggested. You can then turn Restricted Mode on via your account settings at the top of the YouTube webpage. You can also click the Lock Safety Mode option to avoid it being turned off.
Responsible video creators on YouTube can flag their content as only appropriate to certain ages. This will restrict access to the video if your account settings indicate you are not old enough.
It's worth noting though that, at the time of writing, these restrictions are not applied when you are viewing a video that is embedded on a third-party web page or elsewhere. In that context anyone can watch the video, so be aware of where your child is accessing the content.
On YouTube Kids, you can select the home screen age level in settings, which will restrict the videos that appear on the opening screens to pre-school, school age or all. If you don't want your child finding any further videos, including inappropriate ones that have incorrectly been approved by Google, restrict search.
The most important thing to do though, with both normal YouTube and YouTube Kids, is to ensure you supervise your child's viewing. At the very least, understand what it is they are watching.
Stick to known channels
An approach that has been successful in our houses has been to restrict our children to watching certain YouTube channels. If they want to start watching a new one we watch some videos ourselves first to vet the content.
Recognised brands are useful here as they carry with them more rigorous standards in terms of appropriateness — although at the same time can be more commercial. DreamWorks TV, Mother Goose Club, Talking Tom and Friends, Jim Henson TV, Reading Rainbow, National Geographic Kids, and Thomas the Tank Engine are good examples. Then there are other now well known independent YouTubers like Vlogbrothers and Stampylonghead.
It's important to not only check out recent videos but also browse the channel's back catalogue. Even now mainstream YouTubers like Stampylonghead retain videos in their back catalogue with swearing. These older videos will often be suggested by YouTube for young viewers to watch next if they are already watching the channel.
Subscribing to channels that you feel comfortable with then creates a feed of safe videos for your children to browse and watch in the My Subscriptions area of YouTube in the web or app interface.
YouTube Kids does not allow for channel subscriptions. Be aware though, many videos on the app are preceded by adverts.
Keep aware
While these suggestions will help parents manage good content on YouTube for their children, there is no substitute for watching and enjoying these shows together. One of our children, a seven year-old, was on cloud nine when we suggested we spend half an hour watching Stampy the other day — he enjoyed sharing it with us and we learned a few interesting things about Minecraft.
Another simple and positive step is to keep YouTube screens out of bedrooms and in shared family spaces. It can be a juggle to accommodate this activity downstairs but it not only eliminates any secretive viewing but also creates a context for children to discuss and question content they don't understand.
By sharing the highs and lows of YouTube viewing, parents and children can build both understanding and trust. The settings and tools here provide a framework to ensure that continues and to avoid some of the unexpected pitfalls. On balance though we're happy that YouTube is a part of our children's viewing habits.
If you want some extra protection you can use web filtering software such as Symantec's Norton Family Premier (for Windows and Android) or McAfee Security's Safe Eyes (for Windows and Mac). These are an extra way of ensuring your children don't come across content that is unsuitable

Maternal bonds are developed in our Little Stars baby and toddler music classes near Seddon, Victoria by using songs, lullabies, movement and rhymes. You will learn techniques and skills that enable you to integrate music into your home environment for a calm, happy beginning.
There is a large body of research indicating that music positively influences the development of your baby's brain. Your baby's brain develops rapidly and is twice as active as an adult brain in the first three years of life! Music can provide an early advantage for your growing baby and this is the time to get started. Expand your child's brain development through the process of stimulating all the senses of sound, movement, touch, sight and even emotions in a musical environment.
Listed are some of our favorite props, instruments, songs and games we use to introduce music to children in our Little Stars baby and toddler music class near Seddon, VIC:
- Qualified, expert teachers!
- Rhyming books
- Counting books
- Tuned percussion instruments to train pitch
- Puppets
- Scarves
The early months and years are important for creating strong bonds with baby.Playing music and singing songs are fun and enjoyable activities to connect with your baby and at the same time lay the foundation for a lifetime love of music.
Music tips for Babies and Toddlers near Seddon, VIC
Integrating music into daily life can be done in these simple ways:
- Sensory play is very important to children. Try using different props like feathers, towels and hands when singing rhymes like "round and round the garden" or "this little piggy".
- The baby's nappy or back can be patted in a rhythmic pattern to the beat of your favorite song. Try variations of a heartbeat or a steady natural beat in order to calm and sooth him/her.
- Children and parents can be engaged through nursery rhymes like "Humpty Dumpty" and "to market to market" while babies often enjoy bouncing games on the laps or arms of the parents.
- Singing tunes like "here we go round the mulberry bush" can help turn nappy change, bath time or other transitions from being a challenge into play.
- Be brave and sing whichever songs you may like to your baby; it could even be simple lullabies such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" because research has demonstrated that babies and infants prefer the sound of their parents' voices.
- Your baby can advance from Bonding with Baby classes into music classes for Babies and Toddlers as early as six months – by purchasing the CD for bonding with the baby you can use them right until preschooler music classes but you can still benefit by enjoying the beautiful lullabies and rhymes over and over again.

Coalition for Energy-Efficient Homes Tax Proposal Bolsters Environmental Protection
As Americans recognize Earth Day, a group in Congress is advancing a tax proposal that forecasters predict could significantly cut the more than 22,000 pounds of carbon dioxide generated annually by the average household. If enacted, sponsors on both sides of the aisle predict the Energy Efficient Affordable Homes Act of 1999 (H.R. 1358) will result in long-term energy savings, environmental benefits and cost savings for homeowners and homebuilders who raise the energy efficiency of residential buildings.
The Act provides tax credits to homeowners who upgrade the energy efficiency of their existing homes or homebuilders constructing new, energy efficient homes. Homeowners who upgrade the energy efficiency of their homes by 30 percent or more will receive a tax credit of 20 percent of the cost of retrofitting their home, up to $2,000. Homebuilders who construct energy efficient new homes exceeding the 1998 International Energy Conservation Code by 30 percent or more also will qualify for the $2,000 tax credit. Relatively simple home improvements such as added insulation, window replacement or energy efficient heating and cooling equipment upgrades can help homeowners qualify for the tax credit. Simultaneously, these energy efficiency improvements will help the environment by curbing energy use and CO2 emissions.
Rep. Bill Thomas (R-CA) introduced H.R. 1358 in March 1999. Aiding Rep. Thomas and the bipartisan co-sponsors who have lined up behind the bill is the Coalition for Energy Efficient Homes, a Washington-based consortium of corporations, trade associations, and nonprofit organizations that support tax incentives to upgrade the energy efficiency of America's housing stock. Principal among the founders of the Coalition is the Alliance to Save Energy.
Alliance President David M. Nemtzow notes that every kilowatt-hour of electricity saved prevents more than one and one-half pounds of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. The energy required to operate the average home produces an estimated 22,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually, a figure that will markedly decline if the public adopts more energy efficiency improvements.
"As Earth Day kicks off the year-long focus on energy and the environment leading into Earth Day 2000, it is a good time to reinforce the connection between energy production, energy use and pollution in the minds of the public," said Nemtzow. "Home energy efficiency benefits homeowners, the nation and the environment. This legislation provides the incentive for people to act on this knowledge and do what's right," Nemtzow added.
George Phelps, Director of Government and Industry Affairs for the North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA), another founder of the Coalition said, "The use of existing energy efficient technologies and products is key to achieving emissions reduction goals and to saving energy and reducing utility bills."
By increasing the energy efficiency of the nation's housing stock, the Energy Efficient Affordable Homes Act of 1999 has the potential to:
- Decrease energy consumption
- Reduce carbon emissions and pollution
- Decrease homeowners' utility bills and allow consumers greater savings
- Foster the development and use of more cost-effective energy efficient technologies by increasing the demand for energy efficient homes
- Increase occupant comfort through energy efficiency
For more information, contact Catherine Imus at 703/684-0084. Information about H.R. 1358, including the text of the proposed legislation, is available on the internet at http://thomas.loc.gov. Organizations interested in joining the Coalition for Energy Efficient Homes may contact Susan Petniunas at 703-379-6444. Support H.R. 1358 With a Letter to Your Representative!

Networking firm, Brocade, has launched a new channel program in a bid to break open the software-defined networking market.
According to a company statement, the Alliance Partner Network channel program further expands the company's mission to lead the SDN market by including SDN focused deal registration and demo program discounts, as well as a global reseller initiative for Brocade Vyatta vRouter products.
Brocade A/NZ country manager, Greig Guy, said, with the introduction of the Brocade Vyatta 5400 vRouter into the channel and the new SDN-focused APN program, Brocade was delivering on its promise of empowering partners to succeed while furthering its existing business and technology efforts.
"We are focused on building technology solutions around the vision and possibilities created by Ethernet fabrics, and the new channel program supports that goal," he said.
According to a company statement, program updates support new initiatives for reselling Brocade Ethernet fabric solutions.
When Ethernet fabrics are combined with SDN initiatives - including those that will evolve out of this program - network operators will be able to optimize their environment for virtualisation on every level.
The program offers software networking-specific materials, sales and technical kits, updates to existing channel enablement platforms, demos and technical and sales training.
Brocade also plans to roll out additional APN program changes in the second half of 2014 that will include more in-depth specialization updates, as well as key programs to reward partners that are providing managed and cloud service provider (MSP) and (CSP) programs.

Good Bye Gamesalad!
I just want to say goodbye to the community. Since I don't really talk in the forum, many of you don't know my existence. But i know many of you. Also, thank you gamesalad for 5 years of journey. There are good things and bad things in gamesalad. Today, after the announcement I realized i can't take it anymore. Enough is enough.
From 5 years of experience, I want to put down some of the thoughts that i think its very important for game development in GS.
For a basic game engine it must has a grid with snap to grid function. Why? Because Whenever i place the ground block i have to measure with my eyes. Imagine I have a large scene, it takes long time to place those grounds and It hurts my eyes. We should thank @Manto for the Level Editor. He made our development easier. GS should have let other people write plugins for the engine.
User Interface, Do i have to say this? For 5 years UI (mac version) doesn't change anything...You will know it when you compare GS to other engines. I can't say it here.
Loading Time, Roll Turtle is one of the best example. Look at the game, graphics are top notch, sounds/music are great, gameplay is fun. This is one of the best GS game. That guy took almost 2 years to finish. Everything seems great except loading time. Whenever you press reset, change scene, go back to menu. A lot of loading... NES game doesn't have that many loading. It makes the game unpolished. Loading time is one of biggest issue in gamesalad so far, and they haven't fix it yet. Now they put more focus on Web Version.
I don't want to say this ship is sinking, but it seems like that way. Its time to move to other engine. Good Luck All.
This is my First Official Game! It was more than 3 years ago.
Strangest Island Escape
Lol I said it on the feature content. This game will make you rage quit.

@Clock Thank you for your contributions to the GS community! I played Delivery Boy Adventure a long while back. I didn't realize that was made by you. I definitely understand your desire for features like snap to grid. I've seen the engine and user interface of the creator get updated a little here and there but I do feel you when you compare the layout with others. I wish you the best in the future endeavors!

I have been doing my denture id's almost the same way for quite a long time and have never really been satisfied with the staining. I use cold cure to place the id in and the id itself is shrink material typed with a typewriter and shrank down then I place a thin layer of super glue to create a layer over the ink to protect it from being damaged by monomer. I have tried triad gel and thats OK but it seems to collect tarter. lly I would like them to somehow be heat cured in the denture during the injecting or packing stage. I know someone has got to have a better way than cutting out a window and cold curing them into place for hell sake we are denture techs we can always think of something right. Any ideas or techniques would be appreciated.

The decision ends all legal basis of the current process underway in Sri Lanka to impeach the Chief Justice, Justice Mrs. Shirani Bandaranayake. According to the Constitution of Sri Lanka, the President can address the parliament to impeach the Chief Justice only on the basis of proven misconduct. The Court of Appeal has declared in its judgment delivered yesterday, that no such finding exists. Thus today, the Government of Sri Lanka has lost its foundation to further proceed with the impeachment. It is elementary, that any further proceedings by the government, or the President of Sri Lanka and the parliament contrary to the Court of Appeal's writ is nothing less than an open and blatant violation of the Constitution of Sri Lanka. Contrary to the writ of the Court of Appeal, if the President proceeds to address the parliament urging it to impeach the incumbent Chief Justice on the basis of the report of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC), that is now declared to be unconstitutional and hence non est in law by the Court, the President will be openly negating the Constitution of Sri Lanka. In that his action will have no authority in law and is hence unenforceable. On a similar footing, if the parliament proceeds to debate or votes on the impeachment based on the report furnished by the PSC that is declared illegal by the country's court, the members of the parliament who participate in the debate will also be violating the constitution. Thereafter if the government physically proceeds to remove the Chief Justice and appoints another person as the Chief Justice, the President will again be openly and blatantly violating the constitution. If the government continues with the impeachment procedure according to its existing schedule, and the Chief Justice is removed from office by force, Justice Mrs. Shirani Bandaranayake, will continue to be the constitutionally appointed Chief Justice in office in Sri Lanka. Any person the President appoints, allegedly as the Chief Justice in lieu of the incumbent Chief Justice, will have no constitutional writ or cannot preside in a court as the Chief Justice of the country, nor would the decisions made, administrative or judicial by such person, have any binding in law. Lawyers or litigants will have no purpose to appear before a body presided by such a person. Further, the presence of such fictitious and illegal authority within the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, will be a mere usurper to the office of the Chief Justice and not the Chief Justice of Sri Lanka. No judge, lawyer, litigant or members of the court staff could be asked to serve such person, and in fact serving such person would be illegal and hence contempt of court. Besides in the event of any new "Chief Justice" is appointed this appointment could be challenged in the court on the basis of the judgment of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal. In such an event the court would have no option but to declare that the appointment unconstitutional and illegal. And thus there will be a constitutional deadlock relating to any further appointment to the position of the Chief Justice. To prevent this situation, it is the obligation of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka, to oppose any further move by the President, the members of the parliament or by any usurper to the office of the Chief Justice. Any act that contravenes the decision of the Court of Appeal concerning the illegal impeachment process under way, whether it is carried out by the President, the members of the parliament or by any judge usurping to occupy the office of the Chief Justice will adversely affect the constitutional fabric of Sri Lanka, will be against the will of the founding fathers of the country, and illegal. Such acts will negate the legal fiction and constitutional authority upon which the country is declared a 'democratic, socialist republic'. It will wipe out forever, judiciary as an institution in Sri Lanka, and judges, irrespective of their ranks reduced to executive officers and lawyers having no profession to pursue. The resultant environment will certainly be chaotic, with litigants, whether it is individuals or a body corporate, having no place to pursue their lis or rights. The country could plummet into a rouge state where investments and businesses would have no guarantees and civil liberties having no meaning. Thus to further proceed on the impeachment is to open the country for a infinite sea of unconstitutional and illegal actions which will vitiate and pollute all aspects of liberties. The legal foundation of Sri Lanka will be threatened and fundamentally undermined by any further process relating to impeachment against the writ by the Court of Appeal. If the President and the parliament proceed against the writ of certiorari issued by the Court of Appeal, the very notion of judicial independence will loose meaning in Sri Lanka. This would mean the singular direction in which judiciary as an institution will be tread, that is to function under the leadership of an usurper, who claims to be the Chief Justice of the country and whose actions will have no constitutional authority or legality. That would affect all the judges and all the courts in all the actions. The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) calls upon the President of Sri Lanka and all members of the parliament to respect and abide by the decision of the Court of Appeal, issued yesterday in the case C.A (writ) 411/2012. The AHRC calls upon the Secretary General of the United Nations, the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights and the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers to intervene in the situation and to prevail upon the Government of Sri Lanka so that the government abandons its destructive path, of bringing a democratic republic into stone ages. The intervention could prevent the incumbent government in Sri Lanka scotching the foundations of the country's judiciary. The AHRC calls upon the Bar Association and the Judicial Services Association of Sri Lanka to respond so that the very foundation of the legal profession and the concept of the rule of law will not be undermined. The AHRC also calls upon the people of Sri Lanka to understand the disastrous implications to their future, as a nation, should the impeachment proceeds as the government has planned, from what Sri Lanka is today, a country based on a constitution rooted in democracy and the rule of law. The AHRC firmly hopes that sober reasoning and political wisdom will prevail in Sri Lanka and the impending creation of a chaotic and catastrophic environment that will affect the lives of the people in Sri Lanka for their entire future will be prevented. It is the fundamental duty of everyone to safeguard the rule of law and democracy and not to allow a nation to sink into the abyss of lawlessness and dictatorship.

Consonants: A description of consonants, according to A.C. Gimson, must provide answers to the following questions:
(i) Is the air-stream set in motion by the lungs or by some other means? (pulmonic
(i) Is the air-stream set in motion by the lungs or by some other means? (pulmonic
or non-pulmonic).
(ii) Is the air-stream forced outwards or sucked inwards? (egressive or ingressive)
(iii) Do the vocal cords vibrate or not? (voiced or voiceless).
(iv) Is the soft palate raised or lowered? Or, does the air pass through the oral cavity
(mouth) or the nasal cavity (nose)?
(v) At what point or points and between what organs does the closure or narrowing
take place? (Place of articulation).
(vi) What is the type of closure or narrowing at the point of articulation? (Manner of
Thus the description of a consonant will include five kinds of information : (1) the nature of the air-stream mechanism; (2) the state of the glottis; (3) the position of soft palate (velum); (4) the articulators involved; and (5) the nature of the 'stricture'.
The Nature of the Air-stream Mechanism. Most speech sounds and all normal English sounds are made with an egressive pulmonic air-stream, e.g., the air pushed out of the lungs.
The State of
. A consonant may be voiced or voice-less, depending upon whether the vocal cords remain wide apart (voice-less) or in a state of vibration (voiced). Glottis
The Position of the Soft Palate. While describing consonants we have to mention whether they are oral sounds (produced with soft palate raised, thus blocking the nasal passage of air) or nasal sounds (produced with the soft palate lowered).
The Articulators Involved. In the description of consonants, we have also to discuss the various articulators involved. The articulators are active (the lower lip and the tongue) and passive (the upper lip, the upper teeth, the roof of the mouth divided into the teeth-ridge, the hard palate, and the soft palate, and the back wall of the throat pharynx). In the production of a consonant the active articulator is moved towards the passive articulator. The chief points of articulation are bilabial, labiodental, dental, alveolar, post-alveolar, palato-alveolar, retroflex, palatal, velar, uvular, and glottal. In the case of some consonantal sounds, there can be a secondary place of articulation in addition to the primary. Thus, in the so-called dark /l/, in addition to the partial alveolar contact, there is an essential raising of the back of the tongue towards the velum (velarization); or, again some post-alveolar articulator of 'r' (r) as in red are accompanied by slight lip-rounding (labialization). We can classify consonants according to the place of articulation.
The Nature of Stricture. By the nature of stricture we mean the manner of articulation. This stricture of obstruction made by the organs may be total, intermittent, partial, or may merely constitute a narrowing sufficient to cause friction.
When the stricture is that of a complete closure, the active and passive articulators make a firm contact with each other, and prevent the passage of air between them. For instance, in the production of /p/ as in pin and /b/ as in bin, the lips make a total closure.
The stricture may be such that air passes between the active and passive articulators intermittently. Such a stricture is called intermittent closure, and involves the vibration of the active articulator against the passive. The Scottish /r/ as in rat is an example. The intermittent closure may be of such a short duration that the active articulator strikes against the passive articulator once only. The English /r/ in the word very is an example; the tip of the tongue (active articulator) makes one tap against the teeth-ridge (passive articulator).
In the partial stricture, the air passes between the active and passive articulators continuously, but with some difficulty. The sounds thus produced are clear /1/ and dark /1/ in late, and hill, the clear and the dark '1' respectively.
And lastly, the stricture may be such that the air, while passing between the active and passive articulators, produces audible friction. /f, v, q, ð, s, z, f, з, h/ in English are examples of this kind of stricture. Or the air may pass without friction. Examples are /w/ in wet, /j/ in yes and flap /r/ as in butter. A stricture which involves audible friction, can be called a stricture of close approximation, whereas one which involves no such friction can be called a stricture of open approximation.
If we are to describe some of the consonant sounds in terms of the points discussed in the preceding paragraphs, we shall do that in the following manner (we shall not make any reference to the air-stream mechanism since we have already mentioned that all English sounds are made with a pulmonic egressive air-stream):
1. /p/ in the English word pack.
(i) The vocal cords are held apart and the sound is voiceless:
(ii) The soft palate is raised and the nasal passage is closed.
(iii) The active articulator is the lower lip.
(iv) The passive articulator is the upper lip.
(v) There is a stricture of complete closure.
2. /b/ in the English word back.
(i) The vocal cords vibrate, and the sound produced is voiced.
(ii) The soft palate is raised and the nasal passage is closed.
(iii) The active articulator is the lower lip.
(iv) The passive articulator is the upper lip.
(v) There is a stricture of complete closure.
3. /g/ in the English word god.
(i) The vocal cords vibrate, and the sound produced is voiced.
(ii) The soft palate is raised and the nasal passive is closed.
(iii) The active articulator is the back of the tongue.
(iv) The passive articulator is the soft palate.
(v) There is a stricture of complete closure; the back of the tongue makes a complete closure with the soft palate.
4. /t/ in the English words cat.
(i) The vocal cords are wide apart, and the sound is voiceless.
(ii) The soft palate is raised and the nasal passage is closed.
(iii) The active articulator is the tip of the tongue.
(iv) The passive articulator is the teeth ridge.
(v) There is a stricture of complete closure. The tip of the tongue makes a firm contact with the teeth ridge.
5. /m/ in the English word man.
(i) The vocal cords vibrate and the sound is voiced.
(ii) The soft palate is lowered and the air passes through the nose.
(iii) The active articulator is the lower lip.
(iv) The passive articulator is the upper lip.
(v) There is a stricture of complete oral closure.
6. /v/ in the English word van.
(i) The vocal cords vibrate and the sound is voiced.
(ii) The soft palate is raised and the nasal passage is closed.
(iii) The active articulator is the lower lip.
(iv) The passive articulators are the upper front teeth.
(v) The stricture is one of close approximation. (The lower lip is brought very near the upper front teeth. The air passes between them with audible friction.)
7. /j/ in the English word yet.
(i) The vocal cords vibrate and the sound is voiced.
(ii) The soft palate is raised.
(iii) The active articulator is the front of the tongue.
(iv) The passive articulator is the hard palate.
(v) There is a stricture of open approximation. The front of the tongue is brought near the hard palate but the space between them is sufficient for the air to pass without any audible friction.
Hence the kind of stricture involved in the articulation of various sounds is as follows :
a) plosive : complete closure,
b) affricate : complete closure and slow release,
c) nasal : complete oral closure,
d) fricate : close approximation,
e) lateral : complete closure in the centre of the vocal tract and the air passes along the side(s) of the tongue,
f) vowel : open approximation,
g) semi-vowel : open approximation,
h) frictionless continuant : open approximation.
Classification of Consonants
Consonantal sounds are classified on the basis of (i) voicing, (ii) place of articulation, and (iii) manner of articulation.
(i) Voicing. On the basis of voicing, sound can be classified into voiced and voiceless sounds. The voiced sounds in English are /b, d, g, v. ð, z, dз, m, n, ŋ, l, r, w, j/.
All the vocoids and semi-vowels are voiced sounds, whereas among the consonants some are voiced and some voiceless. If the vocal cards vibrate when a sound is produced, it is said to be voiceless.
(ii) The Place of Articulation. Consonants are divided as given in the following table on the basis of the articulatory points at which the articulators actually touch, or are at their closest.
The Classification of English Consonants according to the place of Articulation.
Upper lip and lower lip
/p b m w/
Teeth and tip of tongue
/q ð/
Lower lip and upper teeth
/f v/
alveolar (teeth) ridge and tip and blade of tongue
/t d s z r k b/
Hard palate and tip of tongue
Hard palate—alveolar and tip, blade and front of tongue
Hard palate and front of tongue
Soft palate and back of tongue
/k g ŋ/
Glottis (vocal cords)
The Manner of Articulation
According to the manner of articulation, which describes the type of obstruction caused by the narrowing or closure of the articulators, the consonants can be divided into stops. affricates, fricatives, nasals, rolls, laterals, and semi-vowels or frictionless continuants. We shall discuss these one by one.
(1) Stop. In the production of a stop, the oral and nasal passages arc closed simultaneously. The active and passive articulators come in contact with each other forming a stricture of complete closure and preventing the air from escaping through the mouth. The soft palate is raised and thus the nasal passage is also blocked. (This is also known as velic closure). The air behind the oral closure is compressed, and when the active articulator is removed from contact with passive one, the air escapes with an explosion. Stops are also known as mutes. explosives. plosives or occlusives. /p/ in pat and /b/ in hat are the examples of stops.
(2) Affricate. If the stop is not held for any appreciable time and released slowly, we get an affricate rather than a plosive, e.g. /tò/ in chair and /dз/ in jail.
(3) Nasal. In a nasal contoid, the breath stream is interrupted at some point in the oral cavity or at the lips, while being allowed to enter the nose and create resonance there. Thus a nasal is produced by a stricture of complete oral closure. The soft palate is lowered and the air passes through the nose. All nasal sounds are voiced. Examples /m, n, v/ in English.
(4) Trill (or Rolled Consonants). In the production of a trill, the active articulator taps several times against the passive articulator. The stricture involved can be called a stricture of intermittent closure. Scottish /r/, for example in red, in which the tip of the tongue strikes against the teeth ridge a number of times, is called a trilled consonant.
(5) Flap. For a flap the active articulator strikes the passive articulation once only. For example the /r/ in the English word very, in which the tip of the tongue strikes against teeth ridge only once.
(6) Lateral. Laterals are produced by a stricture of complete closure in the centre of the vocal tract, but the air passes out every one or both side of the tongue. For example, /I/ in late.
(7) Fricative. In the production of a fricative consonant the stricture is one of close approximation. The active articulator and the passive articulator are so close to each other that passage between them is very narrow and the air passes through it with audible friction. Examples are /f/ in face, /v/ in vain /q/ in think, /ð/ in them, /s/ in sail, /z/ in zero, /ò/ in ship, /з/ in measure, /h/ in hat.
(8) Frictionless Continuant. In the production of a frictionless continuant the stricture is that of open approximation. For example in the production of /r/ in red, read, real, ready, the active articulator (tip of the tongue) is brought just behind the passive articulator (alveolar ridge) so that there is plenty of space between the two articulators, and the air passes between them without friction; and hence the term "frictionless continuant."
Gimson includes the English /r/ in words like red and read among the frictionless continuants, but the English (r) also occurs as a fricative as in try, cry, ray, pray, grow, very, sorry. Jones includes it in the list of fricatives and Gimson in the list of frictionless continuants.
(9) Semi-vowel. A semi-vowel is a vowel glide functioning as a consonant i.e., as the C element in syllable structure. In terms of articulation semi-vowels are like vowels, but they don't behave like vowels. Semi-vowels are never stable; they can never be pronounced by themselves. They are sounds in transition. Examples are /j/ in yet and /w/ in wet. These are also called semiconsonants too.
(10) Fortis and Lenis. When we have voiceless/voiced pair, the two sounds are also distinguished by the degree of breath force and muscular effort involved in the articulations. e.g., is comparatively strong or fortis, and z is comparatively weaker lenis.
We summarize the classification of the consonants in English on the basis of the manner of articulation in the following table.
Name of the Class
Structure Involved
Complete closure
/p b t d k g/
Closure, then slow separation
Narrowing, resulting audible friction
/t ò dз/
/f v q ð s z ò з/
Complete clsoure in mouth, air escapes through nose
/m n ŋ/
Rapid intermittent closure
Closure in the centre of mouth, air escapes over the sides of tongue
Frictionless Continuant
Slight narrowing, not enough to cause friction
Semi-vowels/ Semi-consonants
Slight narrowing, not enough to cause friction.
/w j/
Vowels may be defined with an open approximation without any obstruction, partial or complete, in the air passage. They are referred to as vocoids in phonetics. They can be described in terms of three variables:
(1) height of tongue
(2) part of the tongue which is raised or lowered
(3) lip-rounding.
In order to describe the vowels, we usually draw three points in the horizontal-axes: front, central and back, referring to the part of the tongue which is the highest. So we have
i) front vowels, during the production of which the front of the tongue is raised towards the hard palate. For example, /i, i:, e. æ/ in English as in sit, seat, set, and sat respectively.
ii) back vowels, during the production of which the back of the tongue is raised towards the soft palate. For example /a:, , :, u, u:/ in English as in cart, cot, caught, book and tool respectively.
iii) central vowels, during the production of which the central part of the tongue (the part between the front and the back) is raised. For example, /ә, ә:, Λ/ in English as in about, earth and but respectively.
To describe the vowel sound we mention whether it is open or close, half-close or half-open, front or back or central, long or short, whether the tongue is tense or lax while the vowel is being pronounced, and whether lips are spread, neutral, open rounded, or close rounded. All English vowels are voiced. So, for every vowel, we must state that it is voiced:
From the point of view of their quality, vowel sounds are of two types : monophthong and diphthong. Monophthongs are pure vowels and diphthongs are gliding vowels. 'A vowel that does not change in quality' may be called a monophthong; and a vowel sound with a continually changing quality may be called a diphthong.
A pure vowel is one for which the organs of speech remain in a given position for an appreciable period of time. A diphthong is a vowel sound consisting of a deliberate, i.e. intentional glide, the organs of speech starting in the position of one vowel and immediately moving in the direction of another vowel. A diphthong, moreover, consists of a single syllabic––that is, the vowel-glide most be performed with a single impulse of the breath; if there is more than one impulse of breath, the ear perceives two separate syllables...
––Peter MacCarthy, English Pronunciation.
A diphthong, thus, always occupies one syllabic. If two adjacent vowels form the nuclei of two successive syllables, they are not a diphthong. For example the vowels in bay, boy, and buy are diphthongs, but the vowels in doing are two different vowels since they belong to two different syllables.
One end of the diphthong is generally more prominent than the other. Diphthongs are termed 'decrescendo' of FALLING if the first element is louder or more prominent than the second, and 'crescendo' or RISING if the second element is louder or more prominent than the first. All the English diphthongs are falling diphthongs, because in them the first clement is louder or more prominent than the second clement.
Diphthongs are represented in phonetic transcription by a sequence of two letters, the first showing the position of the organs of speech at the beginning of the glide, the second their position at the end. In the case of the 'closing' diphthongs the second letter indicates the point toward which glide (movement) is made.
Phonetic Transcription
Phonetic transcription is a device in which we use several symbols in such a way that one symbol always represents one sound. It is also known as phonetic notation, it is an 'attempt on paper, a record of the sounds that speakers make.' By looking at an English word in its written form one cannot be sure of its pronunciation, whereas by looking at it in phonetic transcription one can be. Most of our phonetic transcriptions are phonemic transcriptions, that is, each symbol represents a phoneme, a distinct sound unit in language. A pair of square brackets [ ] indicates a phonetic transcription: Phonemic transcriptions are enclosed within slant bars / /.
The Usefulness of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
The IPA gives us a uniform international medium of studying and transcribing the sounds of all the languages of the world. Many languages in the world have no orthographic (written) form at all. It has been made possible to study such languages with this alphabet. In other words, the IPA is 'a precise and universal' means (i.e. valid for all languages) of writing down the spoken forms of utterances as they are spoken without reference to their orthographic representation, grammatical status, or meaning.
As regards English, the IPA helps us in establishing and maintaining international intelligibility and uniformity in the pronunciation of English. With the help of the IPA we can easily teach the pronunciation of English or of any other language. The IPA has contributed a lot in the teaching and description of language. The teachers and learners of English can improve, and standardize their pronunciation and can overcome the confusion created by the spellings with the help of the international phonetic alphabet.

It was a six-goal thriller at Stamford Bridge, as Edin Dzeko's brace – including a sensational volley – saw Roma scare Chelsea for a 3-3 draw.
See how the whole evening unfolded and follow post-match comments on the Liveblog.
The Giallorossi were still unbeaten in Europe with four points from two games, but visited Stamford Bridge without Kostas Manolas, Gregoire Defrel, Patrik Schick or Emerson Palmieri, though Kevin Strootman returned. Maxime Gonalons and Gerson were given surprise starts. It was a reunion with Antonio Rudiger, who left the Olimpico over the summer, along with Davide Zappacosta, Alvaro Morata and Coach Antonio Conte. N'Golo Kante, Danny Drinkwater and Victor Moses missed out.
Chelsea had a perfect record so far in the Champions League, but lost two on the bounce in England, including to bottom club Crystal Palace on Saturday. These sides had met before in the 2008-09 group stage, earning a home win each.
The visitors had a bright start, Diego Perotti cutting inside to fire just over the bar, but David Luiz broke the deadlock when Juan Jesus charged down his first attempt meekly and the Brazilian unleashed a rocket from well outside the box.
Roma continued to dominate possession and Strootman fired over, while Juan Jesus lost possession and Eden Hazard's angled drive was off target.
Thibaut Courtois had to smother a Perotti strike and stuck out a foot to deny Nainggolan from close range. Perotti should've done better when finishing off a move that included Edin Dzeko's nutmeg on Morata.
They were made to pay for those wasted chances, as Chelsea went on the counter again and doubled their lead. Morata's shot took a deflection off Federico Fazio, turning into an assist for Hazard's half-volley from seven yards.
However, Roma got their deserved goal moments later, Aleksandar Kolarov hitting an unstoppable strike into the roof of the net from a tight angle.
It was almost 2-2 then, as Perotti's cross was just over Dzeko's head and Marcos Alonso desperately prevented Gerson tapping in at the back post.
The second half began in much the same way, as Nainggolan's effort from a corner was charged down in the box and Strootman's effort deflected wide.
Gerson also blasted over and Kolarov's pull-back was fingertipped just behind Dzeko, who only had to tap it in from a couple of yards.
Roma got their absolutely deserved equaliser in some sensational style, as Fazio's long ball over the top found Dzeko for an extraordinary left-foot volley from eight yards under the bar. It was similar to one Francesco Totti scored against Sampdoria.
The turnaround was completed, as Kolarov whipped in a set play and Dzeko was allowed a free header from close range.
However, Hazard was left totally unmarked for a glancing header on Pedro's cross from the right, which flew into the far bottom corner.
Dzeko nearly had a hat-trick, his header just wide of the near post on a Bruno Peres cross, but the hosts were also pushing to the end and Gary Cahill nodded over in stoppages.
Chelsea 3-3 Roma

Vivid photos capture cows getting pampered during Hindu holiday
Nepalese hindus decorated and worshipped cows this week on the third day of Tihar, called Gai Puja or "Cow Worship Day."
Cows are considered to be the incarnation of the Hindu god of wealth, Lord Laxmi. Nepalese devotees decorate the cows with marigold flower garlands and colored powders and offer the cows fresh fruits and vegetables.
The large five-day celebration called Tihar, is considered one of the most important Hindu festivals. Each day of Tihar is devoted to a different animal or object of worship, including cows, crows and dogs. The festival celebrates the powerful relationship between humans, gods and animals.
