- Elektrisches Feld (1) (remove)
- Self-Assembly of Block Copolymers in External Fields (2002)
- The influence of external fields on the microdomain structure of block copolymers has been studied. Both surface fields and electric fields have been considered. External electric fields are used to create macroscopically oriented bulk samples. In order to circumvent limitations associated with the application of external fields to melts of high molecular weight block copolymers and multiblock copolymers of complex architecture, a new solvent-based procedure is introduced, i.e. the block copolymer microdomains are aligned by application of an electric field (E ~ 1 - 2 kV/mm) during solvent casting of bulk samples. In order to elucidate the dominating parameters and governing mechanisms, the microdomain orientation kinetics of concentrated block copolymer solutions exposed to a DC electric field is investigated by time-resolved synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) at the ID02 beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France. As a first model system, a lamellar polystyrene-b-polyisoprene block copolymer dissolved in toluene is used. The orientation kinetics follows a single exponential behavior with characteristic time constants varying from a few seconds to some minutes depending on polymer concentration, temperature, electric field strength, and system size. Furthermore, two mechanisms governing the electric field alignment of a lamellar block copolymer from concentrated solutions are identified. It is shown that depending on the segregation power (c µ fP, c µ 1/T) a single mechanism dominates the orientation process, i.e. in a weakly segregated system (low concentration or high temperature) the migration of boundaries prevails, whereas a stronger phase separated system (high concentration or low temperature) predominantly exhibits rotation of grains. In addition, the orientation kinetics slows down with increasing polymer concentration, which can be correlated to the respective solution viscosity and the mechanism of orientation. Moreover, the influence of the electric field strength on the orientation kinetics is determined, including a threshold value below which no electric field induced orientation could be achieved on the time scale of the experiment. The time constants of the fastest processes were in the range of 0.5 sec, reaching a final orientation described by order parameters of up to P2 = -0.35. Finally, the variation of temperature yields control of the governing mechanisms at a fixed polymer concentration. In additional studies, the dielectric contrast of the block copolymer components was varied systematically (PS-b-PI, PS-b-PMMA, PS-b-PtBMA, PS-b-PHEMA-b-PMMA, PS-b-P2VP). It is found that a high dielectric contrast leads to faster alignment kinetics (e.g. the time constants of the fastest processes for a PS-b-P2VP diblock system in THF are in the range of 0.3 sec) and reduces the threshold field strength (around 200 V/mm for PS-b-P2VP). Furthermore, it could be shown that the interplay between degree of phase-separation, solution viscosity and dielectric contrast is crucial to decide if a given polymer/solvent system can be used for electric field-induced microdomain alignment. For example, it was found that PS-b-PtBMA shows electric field-induced orientation of the microdomains while PS-b-PMMA does not. This can be explained by the larger interaction parameter cST compared to cSM leading to a phase-separated solution at lower viscosities. In a similar way, the introduction of a high dielectric constant middle block (PHEMA) into a PS-b-PMMA, which additionally enhances phase separation, is shown to be the key to creating a well-performing methacrylate-based block copolymer system for electric field induced alignment from solution. Finally, we could show that the even more complex lamellar and core-shell cylindrical PS-b-P2VP-b-PtBMA high molecular weight triblock copolymer systems could be oriented by virtue of an electric field from solution. In summary, it was demonstrated that electric field alignment of block copolymer domains from solution is a powerful tool to generate highly anisotropic bulk block copolymer samples. The large variety of parameters which we can control allows us to further improve the preparation of macroscopically aligned melt samples via solvent casting in the presence of an electric field.

A deadly storm 60 years ago prompted the Netherlands to begin a water protection program considered the best in the world. After Sandy, some wonder if last year's storm here will prompt New York authorities to make similar changes to address what scientists say is the growing threat of severe flooding. Josh Robin has more.
NETHERLANDS -- In the cemetery in the little Dutch town of Cappelle, Ria Geluk is remembering.
"This baby has no name. It says 'kidje,' child. That child was born on the Saturday night and it got killed a few hours later," Geluk said.
The Saturday night was 60 years ago, January 31st, 1953. Ria Geluk was six. Friends stayed over. The wind blowing off the North Sea was so strong it muffled the church bells sounding the alarm.
Geluk's father hustled the family to the roof, sheltering Geluk from the horror all around.
Geluk recalls, "The houses were disappearing, even here. Nearby, the farm of his own parents, my grandparents, the house had collapsed and they were gone."
Nearly 1,500 people in the area were killed, the equivalent of about 20,000 in New York City today.
The flood exposed a sobering reality: The famed levees the Dutch long relied on could no longer be trusted.
Officials rethought flood protection in the low-lying country. Billions were spent. The Dutch raised the levees and built massive sea walls.
"We consider ourselves one of the safest deltas in the world, but we are not yet ready. We know that the circumstances are changing, the sea level is raising," said Wim Kuijken, Dutch Delta Commissioner.
It was precisely to ward off such complacency that Geluk built a museum near her hometown.
The museum is housed in four huge concrete blocks that were here shortly after the 1953 flood to plug the last of the 100 levees that the storm had broken. Inside, what homes looked like, a rescue boat, hundreds of photographs, including of Geluk's town, Capelle.
Beside the memorial of the lost, the final section: It shows flood risk, not just in the Netherlands, but across the world.
"More and more we realize, that we need a plan, that we need the information: What happens if the water comes again?" asked Geluk.

Also if I remember the fight correctly the tank swap at 9 stacks of Gastric Bloat will come in the middle of the period after the third inhale. This would mean that the first tank can use his strongest defensive cd for the first half of that period (when festergut does double the damage) and the second tank tank use his strongest cd when he takes over. Only ever tanked as a DK so I would use Icebound Fortitude which depending on your defense would decrease the damage by closer to 50%. I use use my other cds between inhale 1 and inhale 2.
I takes a bit of practise to get it right and except for all the other things like spores, tank using their cds at the right moment and the total raid dps actually beeing high enough I think this fight is most challangeing for the healers since they have to shift their focus from healing the raid to healing the tank more and more, and then back again on raid when Festergut exhales.

The Lotus team is confident that its cars will be back on the pace at Silverstone after it struggled during this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix.
Lead driver Kimi Raikkonen was lapped title rival and eventual race winner Sebastian Vettel en route to a ninth place finish, although the Finn seemed to struggle during practice and qualifying.
Nevertheless, team principal Eric Boullier is certain that the results at the British Grand Prix will be dramatically different because Silverstone suits the Lotus more.
"This is a very specific track, and with our car we could just not switch the tyres on," Boullier told AUTOSPORT.
"It does not help as well when it is cold and it is wet.
"Our pace was not so bad with Romain [Grosjean] in practice but, if you look at the race, we were 1.5 seconds slower than Red Bull and Mercedes.
"You do not lose 1.5 seconds from one race to another one. It is just that something went wrong.
"We have some good developments coming for Silverstone, so that should help us keep up and close the gap to the leader.
"And with normal tracks we should be able to get the best out of our car."
Boullier continued by dismissing claims that the car's recent downturn in results are because they aren't developing the car as quickly as some of the other teams.
"We lost positions, so we have to work hard to keep the pace," he said.
"But we know the car is competitive, and the team is competitive.
"There is no reason why we should not be back fighting for podiums.
"We didn't have the five podiums in a row since the start of the season just by chance or coincidence. It is because the package is competitive.
"But we may struggle some time on some tracks. We know this and we have to work on this to at least avoid this happening this season at low energy tracks - and next year as well."

BMW recalls X5, X6 over leaking power steering fluid
by Jonathon Ramsey (RSS feed) on Jun 22nd, 2012 at 10:00AM
Due to a potential manufacturing glitch, 2,642 examples of the 2012 and 2013 BMW X5 and 2013 BMW X6 are being recalled. The steering gear surface on said models might have been improperly machined, which could cause power steering fluid to leak onto the hot exhaust and cause a fire in the engine compartment. BMW will begin notifying owners in July, at which time they can take their crossovers to dealers to repaired free of charge. Scroll down for a notice on the matter from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.... Read More

Athletic Training
The Athletic Training Major is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE). After the last accreditation site visit Wilmington was granted the maximum ten-year accreditation period. The next accreditation site visit will occur in 2022. Students completing the degree program are eligible for the Board of Certification (BOC) examination to become Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC). Students are also eligible for the Ohio Licensing exam upon earning their ATC credentials.
Due to the highly individualized nature of this major, established ratios of clinical instructors to students, and the competitive secondary admission policy, all athletic training students are considered pre-professional during their first two semesters. After satisfactory completion of the pre-professional requirements, students are admitted to the professional phase of the curriculum. This includes advanced courses and clinical education. Wilmington's AT curriculum surpasses the national standards for accreditation. The clinical program also provides a comprehensive and diverse field experience that helps students develop their hands on (clinical) skills.
Wilmington's AT program is one of the oldest and largest programs in the state of Ohio. Our reputation for producing quality graduates reaches far and wide. Established in 1978 by WC Athletics Hall of Fame member, Roger Tewksbury, and Medical Director, Dr. John Turba, the athletic training program at WC has a long and impressive history of producing high quality ATCs. When it comes to networking, WC students have a unique advantage over other students due to the large number of WC graduates in the profession as well as the notable positions our graduates hold. For instance, our grads work as head athletic trainers for college and professional sports teams, and other graduates have continued their education to become Medical Doctors, Physician's Assistants, Physical Therapists, College Professors, and Teachers to list just a few.
Athletic Training is a four-year program of study based on a solid foundation in the liberal arts with emphasis in the professional study of Sports Medicine. Practical job experience is provided by combining academic preparation with supervised clinical experiences. The program of study leads to a baccalaureate degree (B.S.) in Athletic Training.

Joel Salatin: How to Eat Animals and Respect Them, Too
Page 2
Ostrander: You claim that the kind of agriculture that you do could feed the world. How would that work?
Salatin: Well, for example, take cows. If we do what I call mob-stocking herbivorous solar conversion lignified carbon sequestration fertilization, we could triple the number of herbivores and the amount of carbon we're storing in the soil.
Ostrander: What was that long phrase?
Salatin: Mob-stocking herbivorous solar conversion lignified carbon sequestration fertilization. The idea is you're mob-stocking: Herbivores in nature are always mobbed up for predator protection. Now we don't have predators, so we use an electric fence to keep them mobbed up. So we're not Luddites. We're using high-tech.
We farm grass, and we harvest that grass with cows. But we don't just turn the cows out into a field. We move them every day from paddock to paddock and only give them access to a single spot a couple days a year. We let the grass grow to what we call full physiological expression, the juvenile growth spurt. By doing that we're actually collecting a lot more solar energy and metabolizing it into biomass than you would if the grass were kept short like a lawn.
The difference is, for example, Augusta County, where we are, averages 80 cow days per acre (a cow day is what one cow will eat in a day). On our farm we average 400 cow days per acre, and we've never bought a bag of chemical fertilizer and we've never planted a seed. We've taken the soils on our farm from 1.5 percent organic matter in the early 1960s to an average of 8 percent organic matter today. That cycle of herbivore, perennial, and predation builds up root biomass below the ground and sequesters carbon and organic matter. It's the same process that built all the deep soils of the world—the Pampas in Argentina, outer Mongolia with yaks and sheep, the American plains with the buffalo.
Now, if you consider vegetables, we could do edible landscapes. There are 35 million acres of lawn in the United States. I tell people, we'll know that we're running out of food when the golf courses around Phoenix start growing food instead of petroleum-based grass to be irrigated with precious water. We'll know that we're short of food when we can't run the Kentucky Derby anymore, because we need that land for farming. Go to Mexico. They don't mow the interstates. Every farmer along the highway has a staked-out milk cow.
Ostrander: Can you describe how you slaughter animals at Polyface?
Salatin: Well, the chickens, for example, are taken from the field right into our open-air slaughter facility, and we don't electrocute them like the industry does. We do a kind of a halal, or a kosher type of kill, which is just slitting the jugular, and they gradually just faint or fade away.
We have raised them. We have nurtured them and cared for them. It's different from the compartmentalization of the industrial system, where we have people who have never seen the animal alive doing the slaughter.
And frankly, I believe it is psychologically inappropriate to slaughter animals every single day. Even in the Bible, the Levites drew straws; they ran shifts in the tabernacle where they did animal sacrifices.
Ostrander: Is there a different emotional experience that people have when they're eating food raised on Polyface than if they're eating a McDonald's hamburger?
Salatin: We have a 24/7, open-door policy. Anyone is welcome to come at any time to see anything, anywhere without an appointment or a phone call. We encourage anyone to come and walk the fields, pet the animals, bring their children, gather the eggs out of the nest boxes—in other words, to build a relationship and create a memory that can follow them all the way to the dinner plate.
Download clips from the
original audio interview.
Our culture has systematically alienated people from the experience of dining. I can't believe how many kids come here and watch a chicken lay an egg and then say, "Oh, is that where they come from?" The amount of culinary and ecological real-life ignorance in our culture is unbelievable.
So what we want to do at Polyface is provide a platform, so that anyone can come and partake of this marvelous theater that was all a part of normal life 150 years ago. We want to create a greater sense of all the mystery and appreciation for seasons and for the proper plant-animal-human relationships.
Some people even want to process some chickens with us. And that is a very powerful memory to take to the table with you. If the average person partook of the processing of an industrial chicken, for example, they probably wouldn't eat chicken. But by coming here and seeing the respect that's afforded to that animal all the way through, we can create a thankful, gracious, honoring experience when we come to eat.

|Moral :
|Admiral Satie's court reporter dutifully records all the answers people give in the hearings. Strangely, she doesn't bother to write down any of the actual questions!
In TOS, we several times saw people questioned in official hearings whilst being monitored by the computer. The computer, we were told, could act as a lie detector so accurate that it could tell a lie even if you believed that what you were saying was true! How come this device is not used in this episode? Even if we assume that the defendant would have the option to decline so as to avoid self-incrimination - something they apparently could not do in TOS - surely Simon Tarses would jump at the chance to prove he was not in fact a traitor once and for all?
|Great Moment :
|Picard's winding up of Satie during his hearing.
|Body Count :
|Factoid :
|This episode is a "bottle show", one in which all action takes place aboard the Enterprise. Bottles shows are commonly used as a way of saving money since nothing needs to be spent constructing new sets, a major outlay for a TV show. The episode came in a quarter of a million dollars under budget.
This episode references the battle of Wolf 359, stating that 39 of the 40 ships there were destroyed. It also gives us a casualty figure for the first time; 11,000 people were lost in the battle.
This episode is one of Michael Dorn's favourites.
|Quote :
|"Admiral? What you're doing is unethical. It's immoral. I'll fight it." - Picard to Admiral Satie
"With the first link the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied... chains us all irrevocably." - Picard; quoting Admiral Aaron Satie
"We think we've come so far. Torture of heretics, burning of witches, it's all ancient history. And then, before you can blink an eye, suddenly it threatens to start all over again." - Picard to Worf
"Mr. Worf, villains who twirl their mustaches are easy to spot. Those who clothe themselves in good deeds are well camouflaged." - Picard to Worf
Sabotage is feared when an accident cripples the Enterprise-D. Admiral Satie arrives from Starfleet to investigate along with a couple of aides. A Klingon is quickly revealed as a spy, but Satie is convinced that he had accomplices aboard the ship. Picard initially supports her investigation, but he gradually becomes concerned at her methods; Satie uses a Betazoid aide to locate anybody who is being remotely dishonest, accusing based on little to no evidence. And resistance to the investigation is taken as a sign of guilt, regardless of the Federation Constitutions's guarantee of a rights to presumption of innocence and protections against self incrimination. When she expands the scope of her investigation dramatically, Picard openly stands against her - only to find himself called before her hearings and accused of disloyalty.
This episode raises several interesting aspects. Unfortunately it doesn't really follow through on them, going for a rather more heavy handed moral instead. The thrust of the episode is pretty clearly a commentary on the McCarthy hearings of the mid 20th century, although it could apply equally to any situation where civil liberties have been trampled over in the name of "catching the bad guy".
My problem is that things go a bit too conveniently wrong. Satie simply does what she wants, seemingly regardless of law or procedure. Picard acts as if all prior law and precedent will simply be thrown away just like that, and indeed that's what seems to be happening until he gets an Admiral to call a halt to the whole deal towards the end. It's all a little heavy handed.
For me, the most interesting aspect of the episode is one that is brushed over. At one point Admiral Satie accuses Simon Tarses on the basis of a Betazoid's reading of his mind whilst he was questioned. Picard speaks in his defence, saying that he is not comfortable restricting the man's movements simply on the basis of what he calls "Betazoid intuition". They do argue the point somewhat, but they gloss over what is to me the real issue.
It's summed up in the term "Betazoid intuition". This is the first and only episode in which betazoid telepathic/empathic powers are referred to in this fashion. Betazoids don't have "intuition" about other's feelings and emotions. They have KNOWLEDGE. The use of the term intuition makes it sound like Sabin is making some vague guess about what Tarses is thinking. By all that has gone before and all that follows in TNG, Sabin should know perfectly well that he is lying.
By doing what it does, the episode makes the issue "should we treat a man as guilty just because he seems so?" This is indeed the major theme of the episode; the hearings are all about who can be made to look guilty. The episode is making a point about the importance of the presumption of innocence and reasonable doubt. But there's a bigger issue here; what happens when you can indeed prove a person guilty beyond all reasonable doubt, but in doing so you violate their right to privacy?
Assume that Sabin is 100% accurate, as Betazoids seem to be. Think of what is actually happening here with Crewman Tarses. An apparent crime has occurred. The government has sent an investigator in to conduct blanket mind scans of everybody who was in the region at the time. On the government operative's say-so, one of the suspects is then found to be guilty. That violates quite a few civil rights and any real notion of due process. It raises huge, huge questions about how the justice system would function in a world where one's mind can be read easily by another.
The episode doesn't go into this ground, which is a shame in my view because it's fertile territory. Just look at what Babylon 5 did with this area! But Trek, perhaps surprisingly, has never really explored the issue. In Trek the good guys will quite happily use telepathy to plunder the minds of anybody they need to whenever it will give them the slightest advantage. Picard for one routinely has Troi pry into the mind of anybody he feels like. Kirk had Spock do much the same repeatedly, most notably to Valeris in Star Trek VI. The very concept of a right to privacy over ones own thoughts simply doesn't seem to exist in Trek. It's a shame that this issue has never been explored.
Whilst The Drumhead does largely skip the telepathy aspect of the story, it does make valid points. Indeed at the time one might have said it was simply stating the obvious, but in the years since then we have come to live in a world where the US locks people up on foreign soil... denying them the rights due to either a civilian criminal or a military prisoner. In some cases they are tortured, either directly by the US or shipped off to places who will do it for them. Today the message of the Drumhead seems more applicable than ever.

The Art of Mindful Sleeping
"Shelter that provides tranquility, design that creates simplicity."
Your sleeping environment should be as calm and serene as possible. We all know how easy it is to get caught up in the nightly technology regimen, checking back and forth between social media, television, Netflix and everything else that takes away from your time to sink in, tune out and "just be." By putting time and effort into creating a sleeping habitat that is conducive to simplicity and tranquility, you can improve your overall rest and well-being.
Haiku Designs, a company that is well versed in the business of sleeping, stands behind their motto, "Shelter that provides tranquility, and a design that creates simplicity." By offering modern, quality crafted and eco-conscious furniture in a variety of stylish colors and models, everyone is sure to find a piece that fits their own unique personality and style.
The Rocky River Green Home features two different beds from Haiku Designs. The Nikko Platform Bed, featured in one of the boy's rooms is luxuriously crafted and made in Italy. The platform bed has wooden slots, which means no box springs- a harmful and uncomfortable aspect of conventionally made mattresses. The Nikko platform bed embodies the luxury of Italian style with its dark, espresso colored textile leather, sleek rounded edges and simplistic feel.
Not only is this platform bed aesthetically pleasing, it is eco-friendly. The bed adheres to E1 certification, a furniture off-gas emission standard that is common in Europe. What this means is that the wood surrounding the bed frame and slats have been sourced from sustainably harvested forests and made in a way that allows no dangerous chemicals such as formaldehyde, a toxic chemical that can be found in many conventionally crafted beds.
This gorgeous, handcrafted piece of furniture incorporates aspects of luxury, eco-wellness and simplicity; elements that go hand in hand with the overarching theme of the Rocky River Green Home.
The other bed by Haiku Designs that is featured in the Rocky River Green Home is the Europa Eco-Friendly Bed. Simple, straightforward lines and natural bamboo coloring combined with a bed that is close to the ground make for a sleek, modern, elegant and eco-friendly sleeping environment.
This bed is made completely from bamboo wood, which is extremely durable as well as sustainable. Bamboo plants actually produce 35 percent more oxygen into the atmosphere than trees meaning that bamboo products are a great investment for both your home and the environment!
Consider looking into eco-friendly bed options that inspire comfort, inner peace and tranquility. Not only are you supporting an eco-consious company, you are in turn bettering our wonderful mother earth!

Tab Top Insulated Curtains
Reduce Energy Costs! Insulated Curtains Keep Out Winter Cold and Summer Heat
Tab Top Insulated Curtains 13 13
Great Curtains After reading some disappointing reviews, I thought I would take a chance with these curtains. I have been searching for quite a while to find some thermals close to this size. I ordered them anyway knowing that they would be short for what I needed but I was able to lower the rods. I did not find these to be thin at all. Great quality and the stitching was right on. I ordered the linen color and found what was shown was a tad bit darker than expected but will match what I have anyway. I expect with the quality that it will make a difference in the heating bill and keep out the heat during the summer months. Very pleased with these curtains! March 30, 2013
love the insulation feature bought them for two windows, then added three more windows, then added two more windows; have plans to add more for a seasonal home in another state April 22, 2014
Curtains to drape for!! I love these curtains. They are pretty, easy to open & close and are made of quality fabric. Thank you for excellent service. March 4, 2014
I love the tab tops on these curtains I have difficulty inserting drapery hooks into curtains. For that reason I looked for a rod pocket curtain. When I saw the tab topped style I preferred the look over the rod pocket. The blue color I chose will look great in our new modular home. One drawback to these curtains is the possibility of shrinking if put in the dryer. I hope they don't come out of the washer wrinkled & need ironing. January 13, 2014
snug as a bug When I am in my family room at night I close these well made curtains and feel total privacy from the world. They are well made and have a great texture. I bought the eggshell colored panels and they seem to be more whitish than I expected but I still am very very pleased. When I come down to my family room in the morning I cannot believe how much light they block out. I open the curtains and the room brightens significantly. I am sure these curtains will be great for the summer as well. I plan on buying the sage curtains for another room. The VC store has not disappointed me yet with there products or service. Thank you!! January 4, 2014
Our New Curtains We bought the curtains to help block cold air coming through our dining room windows. What a difference with the new curtains closed! It's been pleasant to sit and eat a warm meal in a much warmer, draft free room! Thanks for the quality of the curtains. Question: I've washed the curtains on gentle and dried them on low, but they are still wrinkled from being tightly packaged and mailed. What would you suggest to get the curtains nice and smooth? Thanks so much, January 2, 2014
Love the suede This is my first purchase from the Vermont Country Store and it won't be my last. My husband and I both love the new curtains, the color is perfect and they are helping to keep the cold out and the warmth inside. They are exactly what we have been looking for. December 6, 2013
Help to get a Good Night's Sleep I am a nurse that works the 3-11:30 pm evening shift. I rarely get to leave at 11:30 PM and frequently have to work into the Cat Eye shift. I wake up every morning as soon as the sun comes into my windows. In order to get more sleep during daylight hours I had to trick my body into thinking that it was still night time. By darkening the room by 50% these curtains have helped me get a few hours more hours of sleep. In pairing them with black-out shades I have gotten the room about 90% midnight dark on a moonless night! November 30, 2013

Return to a wickedly deformed Wonderland; confront the cruel Queen of Hearts and her revolting toadies; fight for sanity, control and survival
Written by
Robert Washburne
September 17, 2012
Developed by
Rogue Entertainment (shut down in 2001)
Published by
Mac, Windows
Genre: FPS/AdventureRelease Date: October 6, 2000(Repackaged by The Adventure Company September 2004)Platform: PC, MacNote: Originally published 23 July 2011IntroductionI am not much of a fan of FPS action games, but every so often one comes along which is just my speed. It is not enough to to offer mindless destruction, not that there's anything wrong with that, but there must be a compelling story to keep my attention. Almost as if it were an Adventure Game...StoryAlice Liddell was good friends with Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. Rev. Dodgson enjoyed the company of young children and, with the permission of their parents, would take groups of them on boating trips and picnics in and around the grounds of Cambridge University. It was on one of these outings that Rev. Dodgson made up a story about Alice and her adventures while following a white rabbit down its hole. The story was so popular with the children that Dodgson was convinced to write the story down and submit it for publication under the pen name of Lewis Carroll.That much is history and has been well documented. American McGee now continues with the story. Not the stories written by Lewis Carroll which we all know and love, but the story of Alice Liddell herself.Alice has fallen asleep while reading her favorite book and is dreaming of her friends in Wonderland. Dinah, her cat, decides to get up and take a stretch which knocks the kerosene lamp off the table and catches the house on fire. Alice escapes the burning inferno, but must listen to the screams of her parents who die in the blaze. The horror throws her into a catatonic state and she is sent to an asylum where she lies in bed, staring straight ahead, responding to nothing.A kindly nurse gives Alice her old stuffed rabbit hoping that it might help snap her out of it. Almost instinctively, she pulls the rabbit closer and, just as their noses are about to touch, it speaks to her. "Save us, Alice!" it begs.Next thing we know, we are falling through the hole and into Wonderland. But Wonderland has changed. It is now dark and gloomy. The mad have become manic and the bizarre has become perversion. The intriguing has become deadly.The Story is wonderfully told by cut scenes throughout the game. Each minor victory yields another piece of the puzzle as we gradually find out what is happening to Wonderland and to us.The characters are wonderfully realized with each one having a unique and well-developed personality. The humor is dry and cutting. Everyone is either edgy or on the edge. I found myself constantly torn between wanting to stay with a character to find out more and running away from them as quickly as possible.Everything about the story deserves an "A."PuzzlesYes, there are puzzles in this FPS game. Quite a few of them.Most puzzles are of the maze variety. Wonderland is huge and it is rarely linear. But the scenery is quite varied so it is possible to always keep your sense of direction. Doors and paths may sometimes be subtle, but they are never hidden. There is no Hunt-The-Pixel in this game. There are two outright mazes in the game – hedge mazes. But even these have remarkably varied scenery.There are several logic puzzles. These are fairly straightforward and you always have a hint to push you in the right direction. A couple of them had me reaching for a walkthrough, but the result was "OK, I can see that now." and never "Now how was I supposed to know that?"The inventory puzzles were of the Find Weapon Upgrades variety. You keep everything you find and then get to figure out which weapon works best for each villain.The puzzles also force you to think outside of the box. Stuck in town and just can't find anything else to do? Jump in the canal and swim underwater. Maybe you will find a pipe leading to a new location. Or maybe you should try throwing your knife at those objects which seem a bit out of place. But everything makes a Wonderland kind of sense.The puzzles are all well-integrated into the game and most give great satisfaction with their solutions. I give the puzzles a solid "B+."NavigationAlice uses the Quake 3 engine. You use the W, S, A, D keys to move forward, back, left, right and the mouse to steer and shoot. I was barely through the first scene before it became natural and I hardly thought of it. And since the less you think about navigation the better it is, I can give this engine n "A-" for having nailed it.GraphicsYou can see from the screen shots the dark and gloomy caricature of Wonderland. What you cannot see is that everything is in motion. Each land is a surreal masterpiece where the sky might be clouds, stars, swirling vortex, or combinations of all, buildings pulsate as if alive and everyday objects fly around. The atmosphere is perfect and you cannot help but be affected by it.But even beyond that, there is a FMV introduction which is the best I have ever seen in any game. Yes, I've played all theMyst and Uru games. Yes, I've played everything made by B. Sokal. I have been playing adventure games for over 25 years. And this intro in Alice is the best. The entire clip is 3-D rendered with the camera flying around Alice's house from scene to scene. It is a montage of actions and images constantly in motion. Barely a word is spoken, yet by the end an entire story has been told and you need to know what happens next. It will hook you.Even better, there is an ending FMV which wraps everything up nicely and leaves you feeling that it was all worthwhile. How many adventure games can you say that of?There is no doubt that this is "A" quality work and an example to other developers.SoundNot much music, but all the sound effects are just right. The voice acting is excellent. Everything blends in quite well in a supporting role. "B+" for sound.AddictabilityYes, I had to finish this game. Yes, I lost sleep over it. And yes, that was just as true the third time I played it. "A-"ConclusionThis is a game which can be enjoyed by any adventure gamer. The story is compelling. The atmosphere is moving. It is everything you want in a game.Even if you absolutely cannot handle the dexterity required of a First Person Shooter, there are cheat codes available to make you invulnerable and able to move anywhere. The game will still keep you enthralled.Without question, this game deserves an "A."Note: Alice: Madness Returns will include a code allowing console players to download American McGee's Alice for free.

CNN — Carrie Fisher is open to the idea of joining the cast of Disney's upcoming "Star Wars" films, but that doesn't mean it's a done deal.
While the actress told Palm Beach Illustrated that she's set to reprise her role of Princess Leia, it seems she was pulling someone's leg.
"She was joking," a rep for Fisher told CNN about the star's comment. "Nothing has been announced."
When and if something is announced, though, we'll be interested to see if it falls in line with Fisher's vision of what her character would be like today.
"Elderly. She's in an intergalactic old folks' home," Fisher laughed. "I just think she would be just like she was before, only slower and less inclined to be up for the big battle."
