Meh, I got the next chapter done. It's long, so I made it a cliffhanger. Don't flame me, Georgia lovers, that Dragon Buster is a jerk in my story. That is all. You have been warned...
Chapter Seven
The Battle Tournament
After all tears and blood have been shed
We set out once more to compete
Battles are ready to be had!
A week passed. Ash recovered fairly well, or at least his injury did. Emotionally, he still needed more time. It was quite difficult for him to adjust to his half-blindness, and to sharpen his other senses was imperative. But it was still hard for the others, too. It was rather difficult to get used to seeing a yawning flesh hole in your friend's face…
"Don Battle Competition at Rightwing Town?" Cilan read aloud rather questionably as he gazed at the poster. The colorful advertisement was stuck to the Pokémon Center wall. Axew popped out of Iris's purple hair and let out a squeak of excitement, "Ax!"
Ash's single eye glittered with excitement, "It feels like ages since we did a Battle Competition!" he said cheerfully. Pikachu's cheeks sparked in anticipation, "Pikachu!"
Iris rolled her eyes, "We did one a short time ago, Ash. You're such a little kid sometimes!"
Ash grinned and shook his head in exasperation, "Ah, you got me there…!" he laughed. Pikachu smiled and sweat-dropped at the two, "Pika…"
Cilan couldn't help but smile at the pair's antics. Looks like things are coming back to normal…
"How about we find the signup area?" Cilan suggested, "A few Competitions aren't going to give a bad aftertaste. It's a good ingredient to anyone's battle experiences."
Iris looked rather annoyed as more of Cilan's "cuisine phrases" were used once more, but both younger Trainers nodded in agreement.
After at least thirty minutes worth of wandering aimlessly through the city looking for the signup booths (city navigation wasn't Iris's thing, apparently), they found the registering stands were found. Rather relieved to be finished meandering off course, the group looked over the forms for the Competition.
Pokémon (2):
Cilan debated which of his three Pokémon to leave out when he heard a rather familiar female voice call his name…
"Bonjour, Cilan! Have you been well, garcon? Well, no more!"
It was his self-proclaimed rival, Burgundy. The Connoisseur turned to the lavender eyed teen behind him and smiled rather nervously, "Hello Burgundy…"
The spunky girl sniffed with disdain at Cilan, "I hope your ready, because today my revenge will be accomplished!" Burgundy announced rather haughtily. Ash turned to Burgundy, looking rather amused. "Err…Hello Burgundy?"
Burgundy jumped, "Zut! I almost didn't notice you, garcon! What happened?"
Ash winced rather noticeably, but didn't reply. Pikachu shot the girl a dirty look with his dark eyes. Burgundy seemed to get the gist and turned to Cilan again, with a rather vengeful look in her eye.
Luckily, before Burgundy could say anything unpleasant, a rather loud voice startled everyone, "WATCHOU****CHOU****CHOU****CH—"
Ash, alarmed, jumped backwards and fell, and Bianca Whitechime ran right by him, tripped, and fell. Pikachu tumbled off Ash's shoulder and plopped on the ground. The maladroit blonde rubbed the back of her head rather apologetically as she stood, smiling diffidently at Ash as Iris helped him up. "I'm so sorry, Ash! I'm—"
"It's fine…at least you didn't knock me into a fountain this time!" Ash joked as he dusted himself off. Pikachu stood and cleaned himself with his tail. Bianca huffed, "That's not my fault, it's the writers'!"
Iris raised an eyebrow at the wound-up Trainer, "You didn't even hit him, Bianca. You're such a kid!" she reproved. Axew laughed at the scene. "Axew Aaaaaax!"
Before Bianca could say something unpleasant, Ash quickly cut short the argument. "Bianca, how have your travels been? Have you met up with your dad again?"
Bianca smiled rather merrily, "My journey has been getting more and more exciting! Daddy's really happy for me, see?" she said as she pulled out her Badge Case from her bag.
Four shiny badges gleamed in the sunlight; the Insect Badge, a badge called the Intuitive Badge, a badge called the Manifold Badge, and most surprisingly, the Bolt Badge.
There were gasps of respect from the group. "You won Elesa's Badge?" Cilan asked, impressed.
The blonde nodded, "Yup! After training a lot, I decided to have a rematch!"
"Hey Bianca! Wait up!"
The familiar shout made Bianca turn, "Hey, its not my fault your so slow!"
Luke Facflict approached, or rather, ran towards, Bianca, looking rather exhausted. His faithful Zorua and Golett were at his heels, also pooped. But he still smiled at the others. "Hey guys, long time no see!"
Burgundy raised and eyebrow, "It's Luke isn't it? You were at the Nimbasa Town competition, right?"
The film enthusiast nodded at the Conniseuse. "Yeah, and I made a documentary for it!"
"That's funny, I was just about to ask that," Ash commented, "How did the documentary go?"
The look of shock in Luke's died as soon as soon as it appeared as Ash asked the question. "I managed to put it all together. It helped me loads when I was writing the battle scenes for my next movie!" Luke shrugged before continuing, "But I still only have the script…"
He turned to Bianca, "I was going to enter another one, because I missed the Donamite one. Bianca said she was going to enter too."
Bianca nodded, looking rather excited as she bent down and scooped up Luke's Zorua, despite her protests. "I can't wait! I just need to sign up right away. That's why I was in a rush~"
Cilan blinked, "Are you two traveling together?"
There was the slightest hint of blush on both Trainer's cheeks as this was added. "Yes…" Luke muttered. Bianca quickly moved out of her embarrassment and scampered to the sign up sheet area after putting Zorua down. "I really need to sign up, bye-bye!"
The entire group sweat-dropped, and Luke dashed after the scatty blonde, "Hey, Bianca, wait up!"
"Eww, do I smell a Dragon-Type?" complained a rather bothered voice from behind Iris. The Dragon Trainer turned to see Georgia Icerant, her rival and biggest bête-noir. Axew growled at the redhead, insulted.
Iris flicked a piece of hair out of her face before smiling smugly at the Dragon Buster. "What, still mad about a little loss at the Village of Dragons?" she asked before shrugging indifferently, "Wow, what a kid!"
"Excuse me, but this kid sticks in reality, sister. The loss was no simple loss, smarty. Sorry." Georgia replied, just as conceited. The two began to get the usual lightning in their eyes.
Burgundy shrugged to herself, half-thankful that her relationship with Cilan wasn't like that at all.
Ash felt a slight twinge of annoyance at the two's bickering. "Can you two—"
Georgia turned and glared at Ash. She felt a stab of loathing for the Kanto Trainer for interrupting her quarrel. Even if she wouldn't admit it, she was also still pretty ticked over her loss with him. "Oh hush. This doesn't have anything to do with you!" she growled, and noticing something, she decided to throw in something else as well; "Geez, what happened to your face?! Did you run into a wall?"
Score. Ash cringed at the question. Iris blasted venom at Georgia, "Hey! Shut up!" she snarled at the Dragon Buster. Pikachu glared at the offender.
Georgia shrugged, as indifferent as Iris had been before. "Oh, looks like I've touched a sore spot!" she chuckled, turned and leered at Iris. "I'm not allowed to insult your boyfriend, now, am I?"
"He's not my boyfriend, Georgia! Shut up!"
Ash seemed to squirm at the question. Only Cilan noticed, and he felt puzzled. Normally Ash was indifferent to love. Why was he acknowledging it now?
Luckily, Georgia and Iris went back to shooting lightning from their eyes. Ash let out a soft sigh of relief.
The Kanto Trainer's gaze wandered around the area as Burgundy began to talk with (or rather, threaten) Cilan…until he spotted another familiar face.
Ash's main rival, Trip (he had never been told his surname) was taking pictures of the sign up booths. When he spotted Ash, he lowered his camera, as one would with a weapon if confronted with an enemy—slowly and cautiously.
Ash gave the dirty blonde a small smile and waved him over. Trip approached the Kanto Trainer, looking both nervous and questioning.
"Hey Trip, long time no see, eh?" Ash greeted him. Trip shrugged. "I guess…" he answered.
"Have you gotten any stronger since we last met?" Trip asked. The normal question. Ash thought. "Yes…a little, at the very least…"
Trip raised an eyebrow at his raven haired rival. He seemed less confident then when Trip last remembered. Maybe it has something to do with—
His train of thought was suspended, however, when Ash spoke again. "So…how many badges do you have now?"
"Seven…seven badges." Trip replied. Ash nodded agreeably. "So do I. I guess that's the first time we've been even?" he joked, hoping to lighten the mood.
Trip smiled a little. "Yes, yes it is, isn't it?"
"We are pleased to see the number of people participating in the Don Battle Competition in Rightwing Town!" boomed the announcer Freddy O' Martian over the microphone. The Don Battle competitors were gathered up in the stadium, ready to battle. Ash shifted nervously under the stares of the other competitors. I wonder how I can battle with one eye? I know how to navigate a little but…
"I have Don George here to broadcast alongside me! Don George?"
"Thank you, Freddy. The pleasure is all mine." Don George said as he received the microphone. "Hello everyone, and welcome to the Don Battle Competition of Rightwing Town. We have the match-ups for the first of four rounds!"
"Hey Ash, I didn't see you there. How's its going?" came a voice. Ash and Iris turned to see Stephan Zelecrong standing behind him, grinning. Carefully keeping his missing eye faced away from the competitive Trainer he greeted him, "It's been good, Stephan."
Stephan shrugged and got a rather spirited look in his eyes. "Let's cross our fingers that we'll face off in this tournament, 'kay?"
Ash nodded nervously, "Okay…" he agreed. Inwardly, the Kanto Trainer was worried he wouldn't be able to face the redhead. I've never battled before with a blind side, will I lose? No! I have to think positively! If I think I'll lose, I most certainly will!
"Here are the matchups for the first round!" announced Freddy. The large screen in the stadium flashed several Trainer's faces before flipping them over and spinning them around. The cards matched up into pairs; the matchups.
"First we will have Iris versus Bianca!"
The Dragon Trainer turned and nodded towards the blonde. "Okay, good luck!" she said. Bianca nodded back, "I won't lose!"
"Second, John versus Trip!"
The Trainer looked over towards Trip, "This'll be interesting…" he snickered. Trip rolled his eyes, "This is going to be a disaster…for you anyways…"
"Third, Danny versus Jeffery!"
Danny grinned at Jeffery, "I'll give it my all!" he promised. Jeffery smiled at the other Trainer, "Yeah, me too.
"Fourth, Cilan versus Stephen!"
"They got my name wrong again…Whatever. I get to battle a Connoisseur and Gym Leader! This is going to be a challenge!" said Stephan, pumped.
Cilan nodded, contented. "Well, well, this will surely be a battle of many different flavor collisions!"
"Fifth, Luke versus Harold!"
"Okay, I've got this one!" Luke hissed under his breath.
Harold shrugged nonchalantly, "A little overconfident, are we?"
"Sixth, Lily versus Lola!"
The two twins looked at each other and cried simultaneously, "I'm winning this!"
"Seventh, Ralph versus Burgundy!"
Ralph looked at the screen and nodded, "Okay, this'll be fun!" he commented.
Burgundy scoffed. "This is an outrage! Ah, well," she turned and smiled deviously at Cilan, "My revenge will come soon enough!"
"Great…I can't wait…"
"Finally, we will have Georgia versus Ash!"
"Again?! And you don't even have a Dragon Type…" pouted Georgia, "and you've only got half a face! What kind of a victory will this be?"
Ash growled at her, "A hard one to get, that's what!" he spat in reply.
Iris jeered at Georgia, "Come on, you think you're going to win this easy? What a kid!"
Georgia straightened up, and sneered at Ash, "This is going to be easy for a kid like me. Just watch…"
Ash gulped and turned away, worry gnawing at the back of his mind. This probably won't go very well for me…
Iris versus Bianca…
"Axew, use Scratch on Minccino!"
"Minccino, counter with Double-Slap!"
Axew's claws glowed white, as did Minccino's tail. The two rushed at each other, and they collided. Axew head butted Minccino, sending the Chinchilla Pokémon sprawling. Iris nodded in approval. "Good job, Axew! Now use Dragon Rage!"
The Tusk Pokémon shut his eyes and a blue glow charged in his body. Minccino stood up weakly. The battle had been going back and forth for a while now.
"Minccino, use Swift!" Bianca called out. The Normal Type jumped into the air and swung his long tail, sending a ray of stars. Axew spat out a large blue flame at the incoming attack.
The two collided, smoke flew through the air, and Iris quickly commanded Axew again. "Now Axew, Scratch, nonstop!"
The little Dragon Type jumped through the smoke at Minccino, and began scratching him repeatedly. He cried out in pain, but Axew didn't let up until he sent Minccino to the ground. Minccino stood up, only to collapse again, knocked out.
"Minccino in unable to battle! Axew wins, and the victory goes to Iris!"
Iris high-fived Axew smiling. "Way to go, Axew!" she praised. Bianca returned Minccino, pouting, "Oh, why?! It's not fair!"
John versus Trip…
"Liepard, use Night Slash!"
"Lampet, dodge it!"
The Cruel Pokémon unsheathed her claws and brought the glowing black shredders down, only to slash open air. Lampet floated behind Liepard, eyes glowing maliciously. Trip quickly commanded his Pokémon, "Lampet, use Flamethrower!"
The Ghost-Fire Type spat a barrage of fire at the opposing Dark Type. Leipard didn't even stand a chance against the powerful attack. Throughout the whole battle, Lampet had worn her out from its dodges and surprise attacks.
"Liepard is unable to battle! Lampet wins, and the victory goes to Trip!"
Trip nodded and returned his Pokémon, muttering a praise. John shrugged and returned his Pokémon, "Oopsies, got a little cocky there…"
Danny versus Jeffery…
"Swanna, use Air Slash!"
"Duosin, Protect!"
Swanna slashed her wings across the air, and a blue slice raced at Duosin, only to vanish on contact on Duosin's green Protect. Swanna flew around the battle field, looking for an opening. Duosin had been dodging and blocking for quite some time now.
"Swanna, use Double Team, then Water Pulse!" commanded Danny. The White Bird Pokémon promptly made copies of herself, surrounding Duosin. The Psychic Type whirled around in circles, nervous. Jeffery decided to try something. "Duosin, Thunder Wave them all!"
Duosin sent an electric wave across the battle field. Or at least was going to. A blue orb of water shot out of the sky, making contact with the Mitosis Pokémon. Swanna had been high in the sky the whole time!
"Oh no!" cried Jeffery.
Danny smiled at the worried Trainer, "Oh yes! Wing Attack!"
Swanna flew at Duosin and slapped him repeatedly with her wings, now glowing white. Duosin fainted by the fourth slap.
"Duosin is unable to battle! Swanna is the winner, and the victory goes to Danny!"
"Good job Swanna!" praised Danny. Jeffery shrugged at Duosin, who smiled back. "Oh well…we tried…"
Cilan versus Stephan…
"Alright, Sawk, use Double Kick!"
"Stunfisk, use Thundershock!"
Sawk lashed out his legs in an attempt to kick Stunfisk, but the Trap Pokémon shocked the Fighting Type will a powerful jolt of electricity before jumping away. Sawk ended up kicking the earth instead, sending sand high into the air.
"Okay then, Stunfisk, Mud Bomb!" commanded Cilan. Stunfisk leapt into the air and spat a large ball of mud at Sawk (ew). The Karate Pokémon tried to block, but it exploded, and he was knocked to the floor.
"Sawk, get up and use Close Combat, I know you can!" Stephan called out to his Pokémon. Sawk stood up and launched at Stunfisk, battering the Ground-Electric Type with a barrage of kicks and punches. Stunfisk flopped on the ground.
"Stunfisk, use Thundershock again!" commanded Cilan, rather fearfully. Stunfisk jumped into the air and slammed into Sawk before shocking him again. Sawk fell at last after the long battle of wills.
"Sawk is unable to battle! Stunfisk wins, and the victory goes to Cilan!"
Cilan straightened his bow tie rather smugly. "That's how we do it!" he said, and Stunfisk grunted in agreement.
"Thanks Sawk. You did well, buddy." Stephan said rather sadly as he returned his Pokémon. "Gah, I guess I lost…Oh well!"
Luke versus Harold…
"Golett, use Shadow Punch!"
"Vanilluxe, Ice Beam!"
Golett launched a shadowy fist at Vanilluxe, which the Ice-Type tried to freeze. The fist was covered with ice. Wincing, Golett punched Vanniluxe, regardless. The Snowstorm Pokémon backed off in response.
"Golett, don't let it get away! Gyro Ball!" Luke commanded. Golett's arms and feet glowed brightly before he curled up into a ball and he rammed into Vanniluxe.
"Vanniluxe, use Harden, quick!" yelped Harold, his confidence inflating. Vanniluxe's skin became rock solid, and no matter how many times Golett ran into him, Vanniluxe took little damage.
Luke growled in frustration. He certainly wasn't going to lose this round! "Golett, use Double Team!"
Golett made several copies of himself, and they all quickly surrounded Vanniluxe, much to his confusion. Luke didn't miss a beat, "All together, Shadow Punch!"
Every copy and the real Golett smashed a shady fist on Vanniluxe. Even Harden couldn't protect him against it.
"Vanniluxe is unable to battle! Golett wins, and the victory goes to Luke!"
Luke let out a sigh of relief. "We did it Golett!"
Harold smiled warmly, "Ha, I guess I was the overconfident one…"
Lily versus Lola…
"Cottonee, use Razor Leaf!"
"Petilil, use Magical Leaf!"
The two Grass Type's attacks collided in midair. Lily quickly took charge, "Cottonee, attack Petilil with Stun Spore!"
Cottonee released a yellow powder from his leaves, and it floated towards Petilil. Lola wasn't going to lose, however. "Petilil, blow it away!"
Petilil used the leaves on her head to makes a gust, and the Stun Spore was blown away.
"Cottonee, use Mega Drain!" commanded Lily. The Cotton Puff Pokémon discharged a long green glowing thread at Petilil, ready to suck the little Grass Type's energy.
"Petilil, use Growth, then Magical Leaf!" ordered Lola. Petilil grew twice the size it had been, startling poor Cottonee to stopping the attack, only to regret it when the now giant Bulb Pokémon sent a salvo of glowing, razor-sharp leaves at her.
"Cottonee is unable to battle! Petilil wins, and the victory goes to Lola!"
"Yay, we won!" cried Lola to Petilil.
Lily sulked as did Cottonee, "Boo, we lost…"
Ralph versus Burgundy…
"Quick, get it Whirlipede, Poison Sting!"
"Stoutland, dodge and use Fire Fang again!"
Whirlipede tried to attack Stoutland with Poison Sting, but his burn made him cry out in pain. Stoutland and Burgundy smirked as the Loyal Dog Pokémon's fangs were covered with flames, and Stoutland sank them into Whirlipede's hide. The Bug-Poison Type screamed in pain as the burn was agitated, but Burgundy wasn't done yet. "Now, Stoutland, Tackle!"
The Normal Type slammed into Whirlipede hard, and he was sent skidding to the ground. Stoutland didn't even get a scratch.
"Whirlipede is unable to battle! Stoutland wins, and the victory goes to Burgundy!"
"Oi, way to go, Stoutland! Now revenge is ever closer!" extolled Burgundy, giving Cilan the evil eye as she did so. The Connoisseur laughed nervously, but said nothing. Ralph sighed in defeat as he returned his Pokémon, "Heh…that was pretty good Whirlipede…"
Georgia versus Ash…
The two Trainers approached the field, standing on their respective sides. Freddy turned towards Don George, looking excited. "Don George, are you as excited for the last match as I am?"
"I couldn't be more. This is going to be a thrilling battle." Don George replied.
Georgia smiled evilly at the nervous looking Ash, "Well, where did that confidence go? You don't look so sure of yourself."
Ash glared venomously back at her. "We'll see…" he murmured to himself as he reached for a Poké-Ball. Georgia did the same.
Georgia tossed her Poké-Ball into the air, "Beartic, let's go!" she shouted, and her favorite Pokémon appeared in the field. He resembled a large pure white polar bear, standing up on his hind legs. His front paws had grey pads and claws, as were his nose and small eyes. He had a short beard of ice clinging to the bottom of his muzzle.
Ash tossed his Poké-Ball into the air, "Oshawott, I choose you!" he yelled, and his cute Otter Pokémon materialized onto the field in a flash of red. Oshawott looked up at the large Ice-Type in front of him and shivered in terror.
Freddy once again turned to Don George, "Don George, what do you see in this match?" he asked the man beside him. Don George's eyes narrowed as he replied, "Beartic's Ice Type moves won't have a lot of affect on a Water-Type like Oshawott, but Oshawott's Water attacks won't do much to Beartic. Also, Beartic is powerful with offense and defense, but Oshawott is smaller and faster. I'd say its pretty even."
Iris, from the stands, looked back and forth between Ash and Georgia nervously. "This is Ash's first battle with only one eye…" she murmured. Then the Dragon Trainer straightened, cupped her hands over her mouth, and yelled, "You beat her once, Ash! You can do it again!"
Axew nodded with a loud aggressive cry, "Axew Ax Axew!"
The referee raised his flags, "Let the Pokémon match begin!"
I'm feeling pretty evil right now. If you want me to explain the surnames, let me know.

Who's Going
Event Details
Tuesday 20th August - Peta Murphy-Burke
Arts Council England
Physical interaction: artists and technologies
Artists present work in physical form, even when working with digital technologies. The interesting space between virtual and real life is explored through different art forms, as technology develops so it is disrupted, repurposed and represented in new artworks. Experimentation and research hubs offer the opportunity to push these boundaries and create new applications. Layers of digital activity surround contemporary exhibitions, festivals and events, audience interaction and co-production are encouraged. Sharing case studies of digital art work giving an overview of current practice and the process of working in new media. Arts Council England has introduced new policies and strategic funding programmes to support Creative Media work, and will continue to invest in artists' digital practice.
Given the wide and diverse range of academics, businesses, students and Heritage organisations working collaboratively on the DHD project, we will be hosting free monthly "cake" (Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange) mornings to showcase current developments, discuss funding opportunities and tackle current challenges. Plus - there will be cake!
You can access printable directions and a map by going to our University web page HERE .

MS do not necessarily benefit form people using open source apps on Windows. If Firefox ran only on open source platforms, IE would still be the only browser that mattered. Also the more people use open source apps, the more credibility it gains, and the easier it is to switch to using only open source.
How would anyone benefit by doing it though? Do you think Windows users are all going to switch to Linux to use open source apps - or will any apps that use such licensing simply lose their Windows users.

International Nuclear Physics Conference 2010, INPC2010, Vancouver : Canada (2010) |
First measurements with the BEta deLayEd neutron detector (BELEN-20) at JYFLTRAP |
(2011) |
A prototype version of the BEta deLayEd Neutron detector, which is being developed for the FAIR/DESPEC experiment, has been used for the first time in an experiment at JYFL (Finland). This detector is based on 3He counters and its first run was primarily intended to commission the detector and verify the working principles for future experiments. A new triggerless DAQ has been developed for these measurements. This DAQ time-stamps the events and allows complete flexibility to construct correlations offline. An isotopically pure beam was obtained using the JYFLTRAP Penning trap setup at the IGISOL facility and it was implanted on a movable tape placed in the centre of the BELEN-20 detector. The measurements were performed for known delayed neutron emitters of interest for nuclear power generation: 88Br, 94,95Rb, 138I. The characteristics of the BELEN-20 detector and the first experiment at JYFL are presented in this paper. |

'Kacheri Aarambam': Masala!
The hero lands up in Chennai (like many other heroes have done in the past) and takes up the job of an assistant to Vadivelu, who runs a shop in the Burma Bazaar locality.
Enters Madhi (Poonam Bajwa), who accidentally saves Jeeva from a 'road accident' and steals his heart instantly. Our hero keeps following Poonam wherever she goes, but the girl tries hard to avoid him. She is not even ready to accept the customary thanks for saving his life.
The reason behind her mysterious silence is a local don Sivamani (J.D. Chakravarthy), who loves her madly. He threatens that he would kill her parents if she turns down his love. He had killed two boys who had proposed to Madhi.
Jeeva plans to handle the situation in a novel (!) way. He joins Sivamani's gang, wins his trust and then tries to tactically dismantle him from his position. The director wants us to believe that he plays the game smartly but the fact is that the whole drama looks immature and idiotic.
Expectedly, once Jeeva's hide-and-seek game comes out in the open, the baddie tries to kill him but gets killed in the hands of our powerful super hero. All is well that ends well, isn't it?
The initial scenes dealing with Jeeva moving out of his house are entertaining. So are the scenes involving Vadivelu in the first half. The film becomes boring in the second half. But for Vadivelu the movie would have been a real punishment for the viewers.
We have seen many films that show the hero befriending the villain to checkmate him. Moreover, the way our hero outsmarts the villain at every step hasn't been conceived and executed well.
The villain, touted to be a terror in the area, looks like a laughing stock in some scenes. To make things worse, the film drags in the second half and even a spirited Vadivelu cannot save it.
Jeeva, who has impressed as an actor in movies like 'E' and 'Kattradhu Thamizh', has a natural charm and flair but he needs to be more careful in choosing the scripts. J.D. Chakravarthy as the don has done what's expected of him.
After 'Thenavattu', this would be the second time Poonam gets to pair up opposite Jeeva. She does have a beautiful face but her appeal gets diluted as she is seen in a state of grief most of the time.
Nisha Kothari returns to Tamil cinema in a bold and new avatar in an item song, which is good.
Thiraivannan proves that he could make a commercial entertainer which doesn't bother to test anybody's brain. It'd help him if he creates meaningful stories and better scenes.
Music director D.Imman has given a couple of peppy numbers with 'Vaada Vaada', featuring Nisha, standing out. The song, shot in and around Agra in the backdrop of the Taj Mahal, is beautiful.
'Kacheri Aarambam' is for the diehard fans of masala flicks.

...that several people are credited with the invention of the flush toilet? Most people have heard of Thomas Crapper (1837-1910), the sanitary engineer who invented the valve-and-siphon arrangement that made the modern toilet possible. Another claimant to "the throne" was British inventor Alexander Cumming who patented a toilet in 1775. Then there's a nameless Minoan (a native of ancient Crete) who lived 4,000 years ago who supposedly was ahead of his time and created the first flush toilet!

Aussies are very involved in UAV. I cant go past most university display stands without seeing at least one. Here is a UAV challenge in Queensland held yearly. I was thinking of entering a team with my work.

Good day folks;
I talked with Richard Posey (FAA) last week as I wanted clarification in regard to the certified pilot requirement and a few other points. The following is an incomplete summary of the information obtained. Note: if you choose to contact Mr. Posey, please ensure you have a note pad handy with your well thought out and researched questions or concerns. This will also provide a place to take notes. This information was directed toward the sale and certification of UAS aircraft. 1. The pilot of a UAS UAV MAV must be a certified pilot. In addition, the aircraft must have a mode C transponder, and, an emergency TFR must be submitted prior to flight. 2. As stated elsewhere in this forum, any vehicle that lifts off the surface is considered in NAS. 3. Law Enforcement does qualify as a government agency and can apply for the waiver. 4. There is discussion in regard to the possibility of 2 more classes of UAV, those less than 30 lbs and those less than 4 lbs. We discussed other UAS manufacturers and the length of time it has, and will take to get through the process. Lets just say this was discouraging (2 years plus) The University of New Mexico has been through the process. The 477 page document created outlining their experience and the procedures required is very informative: http://www.psl.nmsu.edu/uav/roadmap/ It seems that the existing FAA regulations where ported over into an area which requires a great deal of thought. The special capabilities and automated safety features of some UAS vehicles would seem to encourage an edict from the FAA to leverage said safety features to help ensure overall safety for persons and property either airborne or not. I happen to be a Private Pilot, but strongly believe training in relation to UAS aircraft must be customized. Perhaps standard ground school would be appropriate, but specialized flight training needs to be conducted based on the type of aircraft flown. Perhaps there will be "Type" certifications similar to existing aircraft classification (Land, Single Engine, Fixed wing, UAS, Under 4 lbs) categories. I can not help but think that we could be helping people, indeed saving lives, with the correct implementation of UAS technology. I wonder how far behind we will be on the battle field compared to other "countries" with less restrictive polices (if any at all). The hope is that the sort of ingenuity demonstrated on sites such as this will be encourage and rewarded. We will see how long and at what cost. |

LONDON -- Zeta Petroleum, a Romanian focused oil and gas exploration and production company, has initiated the Musenita-1 exploration well 'Musenita' on the producing Suceava gas concession in Romania (50% Zeta; 50% Raffles).
Musenita is located 921 m from the producing Climauti-1 well where 16,000 cmpd of gas is currently being recovered. Musenita is targeting shallow Sarmatian sandstone reservoirs analogous to those which are productive in the Climauti-1 well. The company believes the Suceava concession has the potential to hold up to 80 Bcf of shallow conventional gas.
Musenita will be drilled to a target depth of 550 m, which is expected to be reached in 10 days. A further 10 days will be required to complete logging and testing operations.

Hey Joey,
These folks never saw this coming!
~Bill O'Connor
North Shore Kid
Hey Bill, great clip! What a surprise — congrats on not dropping the camera!
Where did this happen? I'm thinking this isn't Gloucester harbor!
no it's not Gloucester and Bill just highlighted the video, he didn't film it.
Right, but I'm always thinking about what's is swimming around down there when I'm kayaking!
Santa Cruz, as another video states, the whales are after anchovies. Doesn't really matter which harbor, There is Danger below and proper respect should be show.
I'm pretty sure it's a video from Smith Cove, Rocky Neck. Seen a few whales feeding there from the NorthShore ART ass. Parking Lot.
