the dark knight rises review

bat logo upside down to robin
after reviewing the film I have concluded one thing that Bruce Wayne is pretty much alive and it is not an illusion that Alfred saw him with Selena Kyle in Florence. Chris Nolan the director of the dark knight trilogy has been so wise in making the explosion at the end where the batman took the bomb to the ocean and save Gotham from it's doom. We all saw the bomb exploded but the question is on what manner did the bomb exploded? the bomb exploded in the water that the water rises so it means the bomb has let go before it exploded. Remember what fox says earlier about the bat. He says " Nothing beats air superiority "and I believe that the bat has the ability to escape the explosion with just a little time left on the clock if not whats the difference between the bat and the ordinary aircraft. Though we haven't saw the full potential of the Bat in the movie knowing Wayne enterprises vehicles they just have so much in their arsenal. The other reason why I think Bruce Wayne is alive is that at the end Lucius Fox ask that if there is anything that he could do to fix it but the technician replied that it has already been fixed six months ago and the patch was applied by Bruce Wayne. Six months is enough for Gotham to re establish it's city from the aftermath caused by bane's invasion. There are some other things too that prove that Batman is still alive one proof is the bat signal at Jim Gordon's office which has been fixed. If your going to tell me that it might be someone else, dumb answer! what's the point of fixing the bat signal if batman is no more. Does that make sense? One more sign is who gave John Blake whom has been revealed to be Robin at the end the coordinates of the bat cave. The location of this cave is very secret since it is covered by a waterfall and only few people knows it that counts Alfred, Fox and Bruce Wayne. I don't know whats driving me on this movie, maybe people like me just want a proper closure for the batman. I have come up a theory which Chris Nolan might take for the future of the batman. We saw Robin in the end entering the bat cave so maybe it's a hint that he will make another trilogy which centers Robin then the seventh film might be Batman and Robin fighting there most vile foes. what do you think?

Hot july

have you experience hot afternoon this month, well I do I have experience it and I don't like it. I have turned the air conditioning unit on but it's still hot. We have been feeling this for a week now despite the storms that is passing the northern part of the country. I have research a cool article which may explain why we experience such heat.

Will PH be part of the U.S.'s missile defense system?

Will the Philippines form part of the U.S.'s missile defense system in Asia?

According to a report on the Wall Street Journal, the Philippines may be used as a site for a powerful radar called the X-band. The third X-Band is meant to complete a radar arc that will allow the U.S. to keep track of missile launches from North Korea and from China.

An X-Band radar has been in place in northern Japan since 2006 and the Wall Street Journal report said Washington and Tokyo are already in talks to put up another one in southern Japan.

"Some U.S. defense officials have focused on the Philippines as the potential site for the third X-Band," the WSJ report said.

Another X-Band radar, a seaborne one docked in Pearl Harbor, was deployed to the Pacific to monitor North Korea's failed missile launch earlier this year.

The report follows a decision made by the U.S. to shift a majority of its warships to the Asia-Pacific region by 2020.  It aims to bring 60 percent of its battle ships to the region.

The U.S. has military agreements with the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Australia.

A hero in a tragedy

Masbate, south Luzon (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - It was a toss-up between hitting a population center and the sea with the crippled aircraft approaching the Masbate Airport.
Capt. Jessup Bahinting decided to head for the water instead, sparing casualties on the ground but losing instead Interior Secretary Jesse Robredo, his copilot and his own life as well, in the tragic crash of the twin-engine Piper Seneca at 4:30pm on Saturday.
Senior Insp. June Paolo Abrazado, the only survivor, recounted the harrowing moments before the aircraft fell off Masbate City in a three-page statement in Filipino, a copy of which was obtained by the Philippine Daily Inquirer Tuesday.
Robredo's body was retrieved from the sea on Tuesday morning. Bahinting and his Nepalese student copilot Kshitiz Chand's bodies have yet to be retrieved from the hull of the plane.
Abrazado, Robredo's police aide who clambered out of the aircraft before it sank and was rescued later by fishermen, said that the pilot was looking for the runway to make an emergency landing while the plane, which already lost its right engine, was flying very low over the city.
"There's the runway! There's the runway!" Abrazado quoted Bahinting exclaiming as they approached the airport.
But the aircraft missed the runway, glided to the left and headed toward the residential area of Barangay (village) Ibingay, he said. It seemed to him that Bahinting avoided crashing into Ibingay, one of the most populous villages of the city.
Like bomb explosion
As the plane banked to the right, sparing the village, it wobbled, "nosed up and nosed down," and finally plunged into the sea, he said.
"The sound of the crash was indescribable. I can't explain it. But it was like the explosion of a bomb," he said. "My initial reaction was to hug Secretary Robredo," he said.
Abrazado said he lost consciousness after that.
"When I regained consciousness, seawater was already rushing into the plane and the right side of the plane appeared to have disintegrated," he said.
"But the door of the plane remained locked by a latch. There was a piece of wood that apparently pierced the glass pane of the plane. And the water kept rushing in," he said.
Nowhere in sight
Abrazado said he looked around but could not see Robredo.
"We were seated beside each other. I did not know if it was me or he who got displaced. I just reached for my seatbelt because seawater was flooding the inside of the plane. I saw light coming in and I tried to surface. I did not know which part of the plane the light was coming from. I was rattled. I was losing my mind. I tried many times to unfasten my seatbelt but it seemed I could not even move my hands. When I unbuckled it, I squeezed myself out from the plane. I had drank seawater mixed with gasoline and I became dizzy.
As he floated away, he saw the plane bobbing up, with its tail the only visible part above the water. The tail, he said, was perpendicular to the surface.
"Then I could not move my hands again. I was still wearing my shoes and pants. I said to myself that I would die because I could not even move my arms. I assumed that my arms were broken," he said.
Then he saw his bag floating. "I summoned all the physical strength I could to reach for the bag. My face was aching. My body was failing me. I grabbed the bag and it kept me afloat long enough until a fisherman came to rescue me."
Abrazado said for about 15 minutes he was shouting and calling for help while the bag he was holding on for dear life was also slowly sinking.
"When I was rescued by a fisherman, I looked back at the plane. I saw no one from the plane was following me. I could only see what looked like debris," he said.
He said he told the fisherman to rush him to the Masbate police office. But the fisherman told him that a rescue team was waiting.
Abrazado's nose was bleeding by then.
Danger signs
Before the crash, Abrazado had sensed there were problems with the plane.
"While we were still up in the air, the display panel that also displayed a directional map kept on flashing: 'aviation expires 18 or November 28 2010.' I can see from the panel a distance notification that said 20 to 26 miles. I don't know what the expiration message meant. I wanted to inform the secretary about it but I did not want him to worry. I just made the secretary laugh by saying that there were many cases when a plane was flying with only one engine functioning," he said.
"We were relieved when we saw the runway. Then when we were about to relax, we began to be aware of the problem," he said.
The aide said the plane began to swoop nose down when the pilot glided it to the right. "It was then that the pilot lost control of the plane.
"I wondered why the pilot chose to land in Masbate when he said we were returning to Cebu. In fact, I was able to reserve a plane ticket from Cebu to Manila."
'Check engine' warning
Abrazado said when the group took off from Cebu, Robredo was rushing to go home because the Naga Airport would not allow a plane to land if they left Cebu at 2pm. They would be diverted to Legazpi City.
"Secretary Robredo was able to talk to the one in charge of the Naga Airport tower, and he got a go signal," he said. "But we still took off at 3pm."
Abrazado said he noticed that the plane looked old but he said the pilot told them that it was in good condition.
"I noticed that the copilot looked like a trainee and that he was a foreigner," he said.
"After we took off from Cebu and while we were in the air, the display panel suddenly blinked and displayed: 'Check engine,'" he said.
"The pilot told us that there was a problem and they could not proceed to Naga. Then Secretary Robredo told the pilot to just return to Cebu."
"I felt the plane turn and I started coordinating with our staff in Cebu and asked them to book a Cebu-Manila ticket," he said. "Secretary Robredo was relieved that we were returning to Cebu but we noticed that the flight was taking longer than expected."
Then, Abrazado said, the right engine suddenly shut down and he and Robredo got worried.
Still, the plane was running well, he said, although the pilots were trying to restart the engine that malfunctioned. The copilot even had a very relaxed demeanor when he turned to them at the back, he said.
"We asked the pilot if we were nearing Cebu and we were informed that we would be making an emergency landing in Masbate Airport instead," Abrazado said.
He said he tried to coordinate with the Legazpi Airport staff to provide a chopper as Robredo had an urgent engagement in Naga.
"While I was doing that, the plane was flying very close to the surface of the sea and I thought the plane was just making a final approach to the runway. I said to myself, we can survive this. I said even when the plane makes a water landing, I can manage to bail out and save my boss," he said.
Abrazado failed to do that. He was knocked out when the plane crashed into the water and Robredo disappeared from his sight when he regained his senses.

essential alternative for diablo 3

property of blizzard entertainment
it's been a while since the game diablo 3 is released to the market by blizzard. The game was so promising and it passes it's predecessors milestone making diablo 3 the no.1 hack and slash MMORPG game in the world. The game has a lot of unique features and the lore is so interesting. The game is story driven from it's lore and it's quest makes players to play the game non-stop (in fact a guy already died playing this game in marathon manner, however this game is quite expensive and a lot of kids who wants to play the game badly resorts in going to the piracy which is very bad. If you're one of the guys who wants to play diablo 3 but just couldn't afford it, here's a solution for you. Bigpoint  has release a game which has a very similar feature to diablo 3. Fast faced game, hack and slash, and it's an MMORPG so check out this trailer here. The thing that separates this game from diablo 3 is that this game is a browser game and it's for free. I have played the game and it's so awesome I guess I saved a million in playing this game and not to buy diablo 3, but if given the chance I will play diablo 3 since I played diablo 2 and I freaking love it so chose wisely guys and remember do not buy pirated games. to play drakensang go to this link

does batman really ended in the dark knight rises?

Warning: Spoilers about the ending of "Dark Knight Rises" lie ahead!
Throughout Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy, one question consistently emerged: How long can Bruce Wayne keep suiting up as Batman?
In "The Dark Knight," Wayne memorably informed trusty butler Alfred that "Batman has no limits." Not the case for Bruce Wayne as a man, Alfred pointed out, to which Bruce replied, "Well, I can't afford to know them." In "The Dark Knight Rises," however, Wayne learned the hard way that both he and his elemental alter ego do have limits. No one can suffer the back-breaking pain of Bane and walk away consequence-free. And just as there's an end to what the Caped Crusader can accomplish, there's a line that Nolan as a storyteller refused to cross: killing Batman.

Is Batman In 'The Dark Knight Rises' Destined For Trouble?
Though many signs pointed to the ultimate demise of Bruce Wayne by the end of "Rises," the hero survived and flew off with an unexpectedly happy ending. But even though he lived to fight another day (come on, you really think he'll stay retired?), Wayne certainly felt his fair share of pain throughout the "Dark Knight" conclusion. And from actor Christian Bale's perspective, that kind of reckoning was always coming his way.
"He's always been destined for some kind of a fall," the actor told MTV News. "We know that he's altruistic, we know his motives are born from genuine, sincere pain and a very understandable desire for revenge. We know he's attempting to turn that into something good, but we [also] know he has this monstrous personality inside of him. He's forsaken his life for that. Unless you make some serious changes, you know that something will befall him that's not going to be healthy.
Click here for the latest news on the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado.
"He's almost begging for a downward spiral," Bale continued. "He's begging for pain. He wants to have that pain inflicted upon him. It's something that's been a concern throughout all of these movies. That's expressed in a scene in 'Batman Begins' by Alfred, who is always the heart of these stories. 'And then what? And then what? How does this end?' "
Well, it doesn't end with the death of Batman, we know that much. Asked if there was any part of him that wanted to see Bruce die in the end, Bale smiled and said, "Not from an acting point of view. Not from any desire to never have to act again. I've enjoyed immensely playing the role."

Robin next after darknight rises

After seeing the I am still mesmerizing how epic it was., however its sad since it has to end. There are some confusion in the ending scene where Alfred(trusted person of the Wayne family) is Italy and he saw Selena Kyle and Bruce Wayne in the restaurant after the Batman was announced dead then people of Gotham comemorate him as a hero for what he has done to Gotham. Maybe what Chris Nolan tries to tell us that Batman the persona is  dead but Bruce Wayne the man is alive and he will hang up the cowl and the cape permanently. We also saw the ending where Robin Blake enters the bat cave and does gives us a hint that Nolan may create another film which is Robin. Robin is known for many as a sidekick of Batman but he is a stand alone hero maybe Chris Nolan will be making the Robin film( I hope he does) and we may see Bruce Wayne again training Robin. Personally I hate reboots of the film which is great and made an Icon for me Bale is the best Batman and Nolan is a realist which makes the batman film even better. I hope to see Robin in the big screen and Nolan to direct it will be so awesome. I included you a video from you tube and this guy explains the end scene well and check out this costume concept for robin
