Characterizing a fiber-based frequency comb with electro-optic modulator.
ABSTRACT We report on the characterization of a commercial- core fiber-based frequency comb equipped with an intracavity free-space electro-optic modulator (EOM). We investigate the relationship between the noise of the pump diode and the laser relative intensity noise (RIN) and demonstrate the use of a low-noise current supply to substantially reduce the laser RIN. By measuring several critical transfer functions, we evaluate the potential of the EOM for comb repetition rate stabilization. We also evaluate the coupling to other relevant parameters of the comb. From these measurements, we infer the capabilities of the femtosecond laser comb to generate very-low-phase-noise microwave signals when phase-locked to a high-spectral-purity ultra-stable laser.

ABSTRACT: Noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb spectroscopy (NICE-OFCS) is a recently developed technique that utilizes phase modulation to obtain immunity to frequency-to-amplitude noise conversion by the cavity modes and yields high absorption sensitivity over a broad spectral range. We describe the principles of the technique and discuss possible comb-cavity matching solutions. We present a theoretical description of NICE-OFCS signals detected with a Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS), and validate the model by comparing it to experimental CO2 spectra around 1575 nm. Our system is based on an Er:fiber femtosecond laser locked to a cavity and phase-modulated at a frequency equal to a multiple of the cavity free spectral range (FSR). The NICE-OFCS signal is detected by a fast-scanning FTS equipped with a high-bandwidth commercial detector. We demonstrate a simple method of passive locking of the modulation frequency to the cavity FSR that significantly improves the long term stability of the system, allowing averaging times on the order of minutes. Using a cavity with a finesse of ~9000 we obtain absorption sensitivity of 6.4 x 10^{-11} cm^{-1} Hz^{-1/2} per spectral element, and concentration detection limit for CO2 of 450 ppb Hz^{-1/2}, determined by multiline fitting.10/2014; -

ABSTRACT: Low phase noise microwave signals can be generated by photo-detecting the pulse train of an optical frequency comb locked to a high spectral purity continuous-wave optical reference. Amplitude-to-phase noise conversion is, however, a well-known limitation to this technique. Great care is usually required to overcome this constraint due to its strong dependence on the impinging optical power. Here we demonstrate the combined use of "magic point" operating conditions of photodetectors, pulse repetition rate multipliers, and coherent addition of microwave signals to realize a microwave extraction device largely immune to amplitude-to-phase conversion effects over a large range of impinging optical powers.Optics Letters 03/2014; 39(5):1204-7. · 3.39 Impact Factor

We report on the characterization of a commercial-core fiber-based frequency comb equipped
with an intracavity electro-optic modulator (EOM). We investigate the relationship between
the noise of the pump diode and the laser relative intensity noise (RIN) and demonstrate the
use of a low noise current supply to substantially reduce the laser RIN. By measuring several
critical transfer functions, we evaluate the potential of the EOM for comb repetition rate
stabilization. We also evaluate the coupling to other relevant parameters of the comb. From
these measurements we infer the capabilities of the femtosecond laser comb to generate very
low phase noise microwave signals when phase locked to a high spectral purity ultra-stable

Femtosecond lasers have revolutionized the field of time and frequency metrology by
providing a phase coherent link between a large span of optical and microwave frequencies
[1-7]. These so called optical frequency combs are widely used for optical frequency
measurements with uncertainty close to the limitations of the caesium fountain clocks [8-11],
as well as frequency comparisons between different optical frequency standards [12,13]. By
transferring the spectral purity of ultra stable cw-lasers [14-18] to the microwave domain with
minute excess added noise [19-21], they also provide ultra-low phase noise microwave signals
[22-24]. Such signals may be of wide technological application in fields such as radar,
telecommunications, deep space navigation systems, timing distribution and synchronization
[25]. They have proven to be suitable as interrogation signal for atomic fountain clocks at the
quantum projection noise limit [26,27].
Among the different mode-locked laser technologies available, the Titanium Sapphire (Ti:S)
laser has traditionally been the workhorse of most optical metrology laboratories. Now
Erbium-doped fiber-based systems are currently evolving into very serious contenders,
especially when high reliability and very long term operation (several days or weeks of
operator-free continuous measurements) are crucial aspects. The main drawbacks of Erbium-
doped fiber-based systems, when compared to Ti:S lasers, have been the higher noise and
lower control bandwidth available. Laboratory systems with an intra-cavity Electro-Optic
Modulator (EOM) for improved control bandwidth have been demonstrated [28-30]. Highly
reliable systems, including an EOM actuator and exhibiting the high repetition rates suitable
for optical frequency metrology, are now available commercially with a built-in self-
referencing unit [31]. We present in this paper several characterizations of such a commercial-
core laser and demonstrate how we have used this information to understand and minimize
the residual noise of the system when phase locked to an ultra-stable cavity stabilized cw
laser, with a strong emphasis on low phase noise microwave signal generation. We start by
presenting the various parameters and actuators of the commercial-core optical frequency
comb. We proceed with a description of the methods used to measure actuators response
(transfer functions) and the relevant noise properties of our comb. We conclude by applying
these studies to the low phase noise microwave generation.
2. Optical frequency comb
A self referenced optical frequency comb is characterized, in the frequency domain by a set of
phase coherent optical frequencies νN=N×frep+f0, where N is the index of the mode, frep the
repetition rate (typically hundreds of MHz) and f0 the carrier-envelope offset frequency [1]. A
free-running optical frequency comb exhibits fluctuations of both frep and f0, as well as of its
average amplitude A. The state of the laser at a given time is therefore characterized by these
three distinct parameters. Note that, in principle, beyond these three "global parameters" one
could imagine that the phase and amplitude relation between the different spectral
components of the comb could also be changing over time. Due to the non-linear effects
responsible for the mode-locking mechanism, such variations have been shown to be minute
and, at best, have a very slow evolution [32]. We will therefore not take such effect into
account in this paper. A full characterization of the comb's noise properties therefore requires
the measurement of three power spectral densities (PSD), of either phase or frequency noise
for f0 and frep, and of amplitude noise for A. Note that the effect of parameter A is usually
neglected in optical frequency metrology. In the context of low phase noise microwave signal
generation, where amplitude-to-phase coupling in the photodetection process is a strong
limitation [33,34], characterizing the amplitude fluctuations of the laser is however of utmost
Page 3
These three parameters (f0, frep and A), can be controlled via multiple actuators. In this paper,
we characterize a femtosecond comb system which possesses a piezo electric actuator (PZT,
whose purpose is to change the laser cavity length), allows fine tuning of the laser pumping
via adjustment of the current which drives the pump laser diodes, and has an EOM in the
cavity. The latter element operates mainly as a very fast voltage-controlled group delay
element in the femtosecond laser's cavity. It therefore changes the repetition rate, although
with unavoidable coupling to the other two parameters (f0 and A). Ideally, the PZT modifies
only frep. However it is well known that a tiny misalignment of the laser cavity may influence
both f0 and A. Changing the pump power of the laser comb (via the current driving the pump
diode lasers) obviously impacts A, as well as both f0 and frep via complex mode-locked laser
dynamics [35-37]. A full characterization of the response of the comb to the various actuators
therefore requires the measurement of the nine transfer function matrix elements (three
actuators for three comb's parameters) as shown by the following equation:
where Ipump is the pump diode current VPZT is the voltage driving the PZT and VEOM is the
voltage driving the EOM crystal. We have measured the nine transfer functions of this matrix
but we will focus on the subset which impact optical frequency metrology and optical-to-
microwave division process.
We proceed with a description of the methods we developed to measure these transfer
functions, as well as several noise properties of the femtosecond laser.
2. Transfer functions and noise measurements techniques.
Our commercial-core fiber-based frequency comb has a repetition rate near frep~250MHz,
which can be coarsely adjusted to within +/- 1MHz using a motorized translation stage on one
of the cavity mirrors. The available optical output power is about 130 mW. The laser has a
built-in f-2f interferometer unit which generates the offset frequency signal f0. A motorized
double wedge [37] allows coarse frequency adjustment of this quantity, which we maintain
near 70 MHz. To measure transfer functions, we use a two channel vector signal analyzer
(VSA - Agilent 89410A) which can operate up to 10 MHz Fourier frequency and has a with
built-in programmable source voltage output. The applied modulation is directed
simultaneously to the Channel 1 input of the VSA and the actuators of the laser which we
want to characterize (PZT, pump diode current or EOM) via a suitable actuator driver. Note
that these drivers need to be independently characterized, to insure they don't impose
bandwidth limitation to the measurement. The quantity to characterize (frep, f0 or A) is
transformed into a voltage signal and fed to Channel 2 of the VSA. By programming the VSA
source output to generate a chirped sine wave, we measure the transfer function from Ch1 to
This allows obtaining the transfer function from the actuator to the comb parameter. The set-
up schematic is depicted in figure 1.

cavity EOM voltage and PZT voltage, as well as power spectral densities of the same quantities. f-to-2f: built-in
self-referencing unit, LNA: low noise amplifier, VSA: vector signal analyzer.
The key part of such an experiment is to design ways to transform frep, f0 and A into a voltage
signal with high sensitivity and minimal cross talk from the other two parameters of the comb.
Measuring A is quite straightforward. We inject a few milliwatts of light from the
femtosecond laser output (30 nm bandwidth around 1.55 µm) onto a fiber-pigtailed InGaAs
photodiode. The output of the photodiode is low pass filtered to remove the harmonics of the
repetition rate and, after low noise amplification, the output voltage is fed to the VSA. To
measure f0 fluctuations, we process this signal with a home-made fast tracking oscillator filter.
This device is composed of a voltage-control oscillator (VCO), which is phase locked to the
input signal with more than 3 MHz of bandwidth. At Fourier frequencies lower than this
bandwidth, the correction signal of the tracking oscillator (i.e. the voltage which controls the
VCO when the phase lock loop is operating) is proportional to the frequency fluctuations of f0
(the free running VCO noise is negligible compared to that of f0). To measure frep fluctuations,
it is convenient to increase the sensitivity by measuring N×frep, with N a large integer. By
beating the comb output with an ultra stable laser (linewidth<1Hz) [17] of optical frequency
νcw (near the 1.55 µm central wavelength of the comb), we have access to fb =N×frep +f0 - νcw.
This radio-frequency (RF) signal mixed with f0 leads to two sidebands, highly sensitive to frep
fluctuations (because of the large multiplicative factor N). We select, with a bandpass filter,
the sideband which is independent from f0 (since fb-f0 = N×frep-νcw). Locking a tracking
oscillator to this signal therefore leads to a voltage correction signal proportional to the
fluctuations of frep.
We use these techniques to transform A, f0 and frep into voltage signals to measure the nine
transfer functions and the noise power spectral densities of the optical frequency comb.
3. Results and applications
Once the comb is characterized, by the 3x3 transfer functions matrix, we can use this
information to improve the comb's properties. Our work puts a strong focus on the context of
low phase noise microwave signal generation by photo-detection of the repetition rate's
harmonics when the comb is phase locked to an ultra stable cw laser [23,24,27,38]. However,
the use of the transfer functions matrix goes well beyond what as appears in the following.
A first example of the use of the transfer function/noise characterization is illustrated in fig.2.

the pump lasers diodes. Curve (1) red (measured) and (2) black (predicted) are for the early (noisy) current
supply. Curve (3) green (measured) and curve (4) blue (predicted) are for the low noise current supply.
The first comb was equipped with a relatively noisy pump diode lasers current supply (Fig. 2
plot (a), blue curve (1)). By plugging the current noise of this current supply to the transfer
function we measured from the pump diodes' current to the amplitude of the laser, we obtain
a predicted relative intensity noise (RIN) of the comb which matches very well the actual
measurement (Fig 2 plot (b), red curve (1) & black curve (2)). We can conclude from this that
the rather important noise of the early prototype current supply originates the excessive RIN
of the laser comb. Indeed, by using a low noise current supply as a replacement (Fig. 2 plot
(a), black curve (2)), we obtained a very substantial improvement of the RIN. Furthermore, by
comparing, for the low noise current supply, the predicted RIN (Fig. 2 plot (b), green curve
(3)) to the new RIN measurement (Fig. 2 plot (b), blue curve (4)), we can conclude that the
new current supply is not a limiting factor anymore.

from EOM voltage to repetition rate frep. Black is amplitude (left axis), red
plot is phase (right axis). The ultimate bandwidth available with such actuator is limited by the strong narrow
resonances near 900 kHz Fourier frequency.
By studying the RIN of the pump laser diode itself (when driven by the low-noise current
supply), we observed a RIN higher than expected from the current supply's characteristic
alone. This excess noise explains the comb's RIN for Fourier frequencies lower than 30-
50 kHz. Improving the performance may require to hand-select lower RIN pump laser diodes
and/or actively servo their output power. For Fourier frequencies higher than 30-50 kHz, the
RIN of the pump diode lasers does not explain RIN of the comb. Understanding this excess
Page 6
noise at high Fourier frequencies would necessitate further theoretical and experimental
A second example of transfer function application is to optimize the feedback loop when
phase locking the comb to an external reference (an ultra stable 1.542 µm laser in our
case).We give, in fig 3 and 6, the three transfer functions from the EOM control voltage to,
respectively frep, f0 and A.
From Fig 3, we deduce that the maximum available servo bandwidth when using the EOM as
an actuator to control frep is limited by sharp resonances observed around 900 kHz. As a
matter of facts, they produce rapid large phase shifts so large that they cannot be easily
compensated by control circuit design. We use proportional and multiple integration control
which acts on both the EOM and the PZT actuators (both act mainly on frep) to phase lock frep
to a cw ultra stable laser near 1.55 µm. Similarly to the technique we previously described for
measuring frep fluctuations, the beatnote between the cw laser and one nearby tooth of the
comb is mixed with f0 to provide a signal of frequency Nxfrep-νcw, independent of f0. By
mixing it with a reference from a fixed synthesizer, we produce an error signal which is sent
to a proportional-integral (PI) controller. This PI controller directly steers the EOM. The
EOM control voltage is further integrated and fed to the PZT. In this way frep is phase-locked
to the optical frequency νcw, with the EOM acting for Fourier frequencies larger than 6-
10 kHz, while the PZT controls the laser for low Fourier frequencies. Fig. 4 (a) shows the in-
loop error spectral density and Fig. 4 (b) the correction voltage spectral density applied to the
EOM when the phase-lock loop is running.

The decrease of the correction voltage below 6 kHz is due to the use of the PZT controlling the laser for low
Fourier frequencies (in lieu of the EOM).
The inloop error exhibits a resonance around 900 kHz and a servo bump near 400 kHz,

consistent with the transfer function presented in fig. 3. By integrating the in-loop error up to
1 MHz, the total phase error is about 0.21 rad rms, resulting in 96.7% energy in the carrier. As
the total phase error is much lower than 1 rad rms, the comb is in the so called "ultra-stable
regime", where each tooth of the comb has nearly the same spectral purity as the ultra-stable
cw laser used as a reference for the lock (once f0 is removed).

This was confirmed independently by beating the comb output near 1062.5 nm (obtained from
the same highly non-linear fiber used in the built-in f-2f unit) with a second ultra stable laser
(see Fig. 5)[39,40]. The integrated correction voltage is 1.7 Vrms (~6 Vpp maximum, verified
with an oscilloscope). When comparing to the 25 V output range of our fast control
electronics, this leaves room to optimize the EOM dimensions, using shorter crystals with
lower dispersion and, potentially, higher resonances which may allow larger control
bandwidths. A third example of the use of the transfer function is directly related to the
coupling transfer functions that are presented in Fig. 6. This figure represents the unavoidable
cross talks to, respectively, f0 and A, when we act on the EOM to control frep (and, ideally, frep
only). Understanding the dynamics of these two cross-talk responses (enhanced responses at
high Fourier frequencies in particular) is not straight-forward. We believe them to be caused
by minute misalignments of the EOM crystal, which couples, via complex laser dynamics, to
the polarization and amplitude of the pulse in the femtosecond laser's cavity. Verifying this
hypothesis would require a thorough theoretical and experimental analysis which is well
beyond the scope if this paper. The measured transfer functions of Fig. 6 provide some useful
information about the limit of the EOM (in its current implementation) as an actuator to phase
lock frep.

By combining the correction voltage spectral density applied to the EOM when the servo loop
operating (Fig. 4(b)) to the transfer functions of Fig 6, we can deduce the EOM control-
induced fluctuations of f0 and A. The fluctuations of f0 are not important in the context of our
scheme, where f0 is uncontrolled and simply removed from fb by frequency mixing. Other f0-
removal techniques, including the one presented in [41], are likewise inherently immune to
such cross talk. Note that in experiments which independently phase lock frep and f0 as in Refs
[8,42,43]) may however need to account for those effects. On the other hand, the cross-talk
induced fluctuations of A are of pre-eminent importance in the context noise microwave
signal extraction by photo-detection of the femtosecond pulses. Indeed, amplitude-to-phase
conversion which occurs in the photo-detection process limits the achievable performance of
low phase noise microwave generation experiments [33, 34]. From the predicted cross-talk-
induced fluctuations of A, and a given amplitude-to-phase conversion factor related to the
photodetection process, one can deduce the achievable level of residual microwave phase
noise. For instance, in our case, for a microwave signal at 12 GHz generated from a 250 MHz
repetition rate laser, we assume a dφ/(dP/P)~0.03 rad amplitude-to-phase conversion factor of
the photodetection process. Here, φ is the phase of the microwave compared to that of the
pulse train and P is the average optical power on the photodetector. Note that substantially
higher conversion factors are normally without the fine adjustment of the experimental
parameters [33,34].

phase noise. To obtain curves (c) and (d), we assumed typical 0.03 rad per relative amplitude change of the
amplitude-to-phase conversion factor in the photodetection process.
Fig. 7 presents the predicted residual phase noise limits obtained from RIN-induced phase
noise (in green) and EOM cross-talk-induced phase noise (in blue) value of the amplitude-
phase conversion factor. When comparing these predictions to the best noise floor limit we
measured for such a system with a repetition rate multiplication technique detailed in [44], it
appears that the cross-talk is not a limiting factor at the present level of noise floor limit. Note
however that if the amplitude-phase conversion factor were equal to 1 rad (typical worst case
scenario observed from [38]), it would constitute a limitation for Fourier frequencies in the
10 kHz-1 MHz range substantially higher than the measured noise floor limit. Furthermore,
the RIN-induced residual phase noise is also lower than the noise floor limit. Similarly, an
amplitude-phase conversion factor higher than 0.1 rad would induce a substantial limitation to
the performances of the system. On the other hand, it also appears from Fig. 7 that the main
limitation in the 100 kHz-1 MHz Fourier frequencies range is due to the residual inloop error
of the phase lock loop (black line). This limitation is ultimately linked to the still limited
actuation bandwidth achievable with the EOM. Further improvement of the EOM actuator
would therefore be necessary to achieve residual phase noise limits in the -160 dB(rad2/Hz).
Note that recently a 1.2 MHz bandwidth was achieved with a waveguide EOM [45] and we
could therefore expect a similar result for the future prototypes.
4. Conclusions
We have presented in detail the techniques used to measure the various transfer functions
which characterize an optical frequency comb equipped with various actuators. We have
shown some examples of how to use such characterization to deduce the performance limits
of the comb and improve its performance. When phase locking the repetition rate of the comb
to an ultra stable cw laser optical frequency, we reached the "ultra-stable regime", where the
linewidth of each comb tooth is limited by that of the cw laser reference (and not the phase-
lock loop performances). In the context of low phase noise microwave generation by
Page 10
photodetecting the pulse train, we have made a prediction of the achievable minimum phase
noise from different possible noise sources. These prediction make us confident that we can
achieve residual phase noise in the -160 dB(rad2/Hz) level, close to the shot noise limit, with a
slightly improved EOM actuator. In addition we have shown how to use the dynamic
characterization of a frequency comb (via its actuators transfer functions) to understand and
improve an optical frequency comb's performance.

(See EXT4 <GO> for more on the European debt crisis.)
Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- European Union President Herman Van Rompuy praised Europe's top central banker for crisis-fighting flexibility and indicated that richer countries like Germany must make concessions to keep the euro sound.
Van Rompuy hailed Jean-Claude Trichet, nearing the end of his term running the European Central Bank, for daring to use unorthodox policies to rescue the 17-nation currency union.
"What he did was necessary to save the euro as such," Van Rompuy said at Trichet's retirement sendoff in Frankfurt today.
Four days before a euro crisis summit, Van Rompuy said a better-managed euro region will require sacrifices by all countries, not only by poorer ones like Greece that are struggling with oversized debts.
Europe needs more fiscal discipline and integration "not just to punish the sinners, but to link our policies," Van Rompuy said. "That implies a loss of sovereignty for everyone, not only for countries in trouble."
Van Rompuy also questioned the euro area's "dangerous" need for unanimity on key decisions, without outlining alternatives.
Speaking in the heartland of central bank independence, the EU president hailed Trichet for an undogmatic grasp of the ECB's rights and duties. He said the French central banker virtually took on the above-the-fray role of a constitutional monarch.
"Independence doesn't mean detachment from political decision-making," Van Rompuy said. Trichet "perfectly understood this aspect of a central banker's role, in the grand tradition of the French civil service."
While calling for "unconventional measures that break the mold of economics textbooks," Van Rompuy gave no indication how the Oct. 23 summit will address Greece, the euro rescue fund or support for banks.
Trichet, 68, leaves the ECB Oct. 31 after an eight-year term. He will be succeeded by Bank of Italy Governor Mario Draghi, 64.

CDC Confirms What We All Suspected But Didn't Want To Acknowledge About Poop In The Pool Water
Yes, We Want Fries With That: Americans Get 11% Of Their Calories From Fast Food
A new study from the Centers for Disease Control is pointing a greasy finger at Americans' eating habits, finding that on average we get 11% of our calories in a day from fast food. But hey, that's down from 13% since the last time the government poked around in our fast food eating habits. [More]
Majority Of U.S. Households Either Don't Have Or Don't Use Landline Phones
There are kids and teens out there that have never used anything other than a wireless phone (though these youngsters only seem to text).

CDC Says Kids Are Just Like Their Parents And Are Eating Way Too Much Salt Every Day
We can see it now — no more salt shakers in New York City. That probably won't happen (right, Mayor Bloomberg?) but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in a new study that American kids are eating way too much salt, just like their grown-up counterparts. Children are ingesting around 1,000 milligrams of salt more than they should be, which is the sodium equivalent of a Big Mac. [More]
CDC Study Reveals That At Least 20% Of People In Each State In America Are Obese
It isn't just the nation's overweight children we need to worry about — the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows exactly how widespread America's obesity problem is among the adult population in no uncertain terms. So how fat are we, really? The CDC says that every single state in the country has an obesity rate of at least 20%, and 12 states hit 30% and above. [More]

smoked corn beef
- 1
- Follow
I just went to a corned beef brisket demo and it was delicious minus the point. They did a 2 and 1/2 week brine which was stonger than my 16 to 1 water salt I use for poultry. Plus a alot of other additives for the corn beef. It was delicious but they cheated it was Kobe.
I typically smoke my full brisket with the point up to 17# for hour per pound at 200 plus in pure smoke with a dejon mustard, beef wet rub. Do you think it would be worth it to brine the full brisket for a couple of weeks. Would it add anything. Has anyone tried it. I love experimenting but is brining beef for a long smoke worth the effort.
I've never tried it, but IMO it would be a total waste of time and resources.
You do understasnd that Corned Beef Brisket is a cured product...Not as simple as throwing it over in some salty water...
"200 plus in pure smoke"...Wow! You may want to experiment, (which is something you love doing) with less smoke. See if you can make it come out looking like it has been on Miami Beach for 10 days with a nice dark tan, insterad of...blackHave Fun!

A Boy Answers a Troubled Woman's Online Request to Be Murdered in This Powerful Short Film
Features By Scott Beggs on February 14, 2014 | (2) CommentsWhy Watch? Most of the time, movies with great concepts pull their punches as if knocking out their audience would be one step too far. Elko takes that step.
The short film from writer/director Alexander Yan features a boy responding to a young woman's internet post requesting to be killed, achieving an uncomfortable intimacy as they spend time together in silence leading up to the act. Populated by the kinds of activities that should be engaging and connect two people, there's always a sense of alienation present — some kind of connection to the digital world even as they're surrounded by the wide open rural spaces of Nevada. That it tells its story without exposition, ceremony or exclamation magnifies the unease, and the blend of true film shots with grainy iPhone camera captures means we're never allowed to settle in comfortably.
Plus, the young man (Michael Desjardin) is effectively Hannibal Lecter with a fake I.D. Clearly, deeply disturbed, he's a chain-smoking bomb that doesn't tick, and the young woman (Annalee Scott) plays the willing toy with a confident question mark on her face. And that's key — Elko seems disinterested in answers, but it's amazingly powerful in producing questions. As Yan says on his Vimeo post, Happy Valentine's Day.
What Will It Cost? About 13 minutes.

Bontrager Turbo ChargerBontrager's Turbo Charger features an easy-to-read raised gauge, durable steel barrel, comfy co-molded handle, and an auto-select head that instantly fits both Presta and Schrader valves. The handle locks in the barrel for easy transportation and storage. Plus, the large, stable base assists pumping and minimizes tipping, too. REVIEW SNAPSHOT® by PowerReviewsPros
Reviewed by 1 customers Sort by Displaying reviews 1 Pros
Best Uses Comments: Stable to use with high gauge location which makes reading easier and nice long air hose. Good air pressure increase with only one stroke of handle when working correctly. However, the head that goes on the valve stem is difficult to remove quickly and constantly sticks upon attempting to disengage the head. This constantly led to loss of air below inflation goal. Also, the lever to lock on a Schrader value was difficult to engage sometimes as the somewhat thick logo sticker moved around, slid under the lever ledge and prohibited the full click in of the head lever. But the greater issue was the lack of quick release from the valve stem. My opinion is that the pump is advertised to fit both the wide Schrader valve and the smaller Presta valve. However, the head lever compresses for both sizes in one movement of the lever. This is unlike other brands that have a two lever position = one for Schrader and a 2nd movement for the smaller Presta valves. The point being it over compresses on the larger Schrader valves causing the rubber liner to sync with the valve threads. Then upon release the rubber liner doesn't immediately want to release from being stuck/sync'd with the threads. I returned the pump after buying another pump that has a two position lever and therefore does not over compress/tighten against the Schrader valve. Now I have no problems. The new pump does not seem to increase the air pressure as much with one stroke however, but that's okay.

Top Picks: 'Bill Moyers: The Language of Life,' a funny Bob Dylan album, Joe Bonamassa's 'Dust Bowl,' and more
Bill Moyers' DVD anthology on spoken poetry, live recordings of a Bob Dylan concert, Joe Bonamassa's latest album 'Dust Bowl', and more recommendations.
Courtesy of Ryan Matthew Smith/Modernist Cuisine
Bonamassa blues
Joe Bonamassa is a little bit Stevie Ray Vaughan, a little bit B.B. King, with a mash-up of British blues-rock and Nashville twang thrown in. His latest disc "Dust Bowl" smolders with the soaring stomp of "Black Lung Heartache," chugs with squealing guitar on "Slow Train," and employs veteran rock singer Glenn Hughes on "Heartbreaker," a song written by Paul Rodgers. Bonamassa broke through as a guitarist, but his husky vocals are solid, too. Some of the finest moments on the new collection come when he branches into country leanings, with expert assistance from Vince Gill ("Sweet Rowena") and John Hiatt ("Tennessee Plates").
The power of language
In "Bill Moyers: The Language of Life," the celebrated journalist explores the magic of the spoken word. This three-disc set of eight episodes delves into the richness of modern poetry, including interviews and performances from such luminaries as Robert Bly, Adrienne Rich, Gary Snyder, and Coleman Barks.

I was slightly disappointed in the last "season" of Sherlock and have been spoiled by the US version renamed "Elementary". Sure, the BBC version is truer to the A.C. Doyle writings but the slowness of the BBC production (5 episodes a is SEASON? C'mon!) is a real hindrance to creating an enthusiastic following.
- pastordt
FIVE episodes? I think I only saw 3 last season. . . And yes, I wish they could do more. But you know what? I'll take whatever they pull together and just watch them more than once. Voila! A longer season.
- terry fry
It's only 3 episodes. You also have to remember the people behind Sherlock are also behind Dr. Who.

'It will curtail many development projects in State'
K. Radhakrishnan, former member (Generation) of the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB), has said that the present exercise of a working group examining the report of the Western Ghats Ecology Expert Panel (WGEEP) and its demand to the State government to list out the acceptable recommendations can only be seen as "an indirect method to glorify the totally unacceptable WGEEP report."
Terming the WGEEP report as "prima facie ill intentioned," Mr. Radhakrishnan said the report, which would fully curtail many developmental works in the State, was to be taken seriously by the government and social organisations of the State.
The constitution of the panel itself was under suspicion and only one ex-officio member for Kerala, that too from the biodiversity side, was included. On the other hand, Tamil Nadu had three members and Karnataka, four. Mr. Radhakrishnan alleged that the lone member from Kerala, V.S. Vijayan, had made no secret of his opposition to the proposed hydro-electric projects in the State.
He said the entire proceedings of the WGEEP were one-sided since all stakeholders were not given sufficient opportunity to present their views.
Mr. Radhakrishnan, who headed the KSEB team while holding discussions with the WGEEP, said the team was invited to a session where a whole lot of environment activists was also invited. This resulted in noisy scenes and no useful discussions could take place.

Easy A: Women Still Want A John Hughes Love Story
It's been a while since I've happily spent 10 dollars on a movie and didn't feel guilty for cheating on my diet for stale, buttery goodness aka popcorn. But Easy A with Emma Stone and Penn Badgley? The "A" most definitely stands for awesomesauce.
Although the movie didn't exactly offer anything we haven't seen before—anonymous high school teenager survives a bad rumor and finds love with her crush—it did offer me something to think about it and that is this: for the bad rap romantic comedies have, women still want a John Hughes love story. The 5 Most Romantic John Hughes Movies
In one scene, Stone's character is in the middle of a webcast talking about her perfect man, specifically noting she wants, in sum, "John Cusack outside my window, Jake Ryan waiting for me outside my church, and Judd Nelson pumping his fist in the air because he got the girl." Why, despite understanding how romantic comedies give us unrealistic expectations for love, do we still look to the box office hits of the 1980s when we envision romance?
I'll tell you why. It's because the character qualities the male protagonists possessed represent men who were manly yet sensitive, confident yet vulnerable. Take John Cusack, for example. He plays Llyod Dobler in Say Anything (though John Hughes-esque, actually directed by Cameron Crowe) and if there's anything to be remembered about this movie, it's the scene where he's standing outside Ione Skye's character's house, raising a boombox blaring Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." What makes this desirable instead of creepy? It's a bold, romantic gesture that says "I like you and I don't care who knows it." There are no games to play, no cryptic messages to uncode. It's real and obvious affection. Mr. Mom And Prince Charming: Can Men Be Both?
How about Michael Schoeffling's character, Jake Ryan, in Sixteen Candles? He's a jock with a pretty but shallow girlfriend who has an epiphany: there's more to life than partying. He pursues Molly Ringwald's character, Sam, after he discovered her crush in a passed note in class. Sam's an awkward, cute stranger, and her innocent charms win him over, even from a distance. It's the same wisdom espoused in He's Just Not That Into You: if a guy is interested in you, he'll talk to you. He will, regardless of the clothes you wear or the circle you run in, pursue you. He'll drive his red Porsche to your church, buy you a belated birthday cake and return the panties you let Farmer Ted borrow. Top 7 Romantic John Hughes Moment

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Listen to this message that the Lord has spoken against you, Israelites, against the entire clan that I brought from the land of Egypt: | 1 Hear this word the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel--against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt: |
2 I have known only you out of all the clans of the earth; therefore, I will punish you for all your iniquities. | 2 "You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins." |
3 Can two walk together without agreeing to meet? | 3 Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? |
4 Does a lion roar in the forest when it has no prey? Does a young lion growl from its lair unless it has captured [something]? | 4 Does a lion roar in the thicket when he has no prey? Does he growl in his den when he has caught nothing? |
5 Does a bird land in a trap on the ground if there is no bait for it? Does a trap spring from the ground when it has caught nothing? | 5 Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground where no snare has been set? Does a trap spring up from the earth when there is nothing to catch? |
6 If a ram's horn is blown in a city, aren't people afraid? If a disaster occurs in a city, hasn't the Lord done it? | 6 When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it? |
7 Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing His counsel to His servants the prophets. | 7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. |
8 A lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who will not prophesy? | 8 The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy? |
9 Proclaim on the citadels in Ashdod and on the citadels in the land of Egypt: Assemble on the mountains of Samaria and see the great turmoil in the city and the acts of oppression within it. | 9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt: "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people." |
10 The people are incapable of doing right- the Lord's declaration- those who store up violence and destruction in their citadels. | 10 "They do not know how to do right," declares the LORD, "who hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses." |
11 Therefore, the Lord God says: An enemy will surround the land; he will destroy your strongholds and plunder your citadels. | 11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "An enemy will overrun the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses." |
12 The Lord says: As the shepherd snatches two legs or a piece of an ear from the lion's mouth, so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be rescued with [only] the corner of a bed or the cushion of a couch. | 12 This is what the LORD says: "As a shepherd saves from the lion's mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites be saved, those who sit in Samaria on the edge of their beds and in Damascus on their couches." |
13 Listen and testify against the house of Jacob- [this is]*The bracketed text has been added for clarity. the declaration of the Lord God , the God of Hosts. | 13 "Hear this and testify against the house of Jacob," declares the Lord, the LORD God Almighty. |
14 I will punish the altars of Bethel on the day I punish Israel for its crimes; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground. | 14 "On the day I punish Israel for her sins, I will destroy the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground. |
15 I will demolish the winter house and the summer house; the houses [inlaid with] ivory will be destroyed, and the great houses will come to an end- the Lord's declaration. | 15 I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed and the mansions will be demolished," declares the LORD. |
