Fossil fuel combustion and other human activities are now emitting more than 35 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere each year. The increasing concentration and its adverse affect on climate have been reported by NOAA and NASA. The ocean and plants on land emit more than 20 times as much CO2 into the atmosphere as humans do, but they reabsorb almost as much, along with about half of human-produced emissions. Ground-based measurements accurately record the global impact of these processes on atmospheric CO2 budget of the earth and its trends. However, their resolution and coverage is not adequate to identify the sources emitting CO2 or the natural ÃÂsinksÃÂ absorbing this gas. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) is the first NASA satellite designed to measure atmospheric CO2 with the accuracy needed to identify these sources and sinks. After its launch in July 2014, its spectrometers will record more than 100,000 CO2 measurements each day.
At CSULA on Thursday evening, 15 May 2014, the SAE Southern California Section has invited Dr. David Crisp to talk about this topic of vital interest to all of us. Please plan to attend this presentation.
Dr. David Crisp is an atmospheric physicist and a Science Team Leader at the California Institute of Technology Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Since receiving his Ph.D. from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program at Princeton University in 1984, his research has focused primarily on the development of radiative transfer algorithms for remote sensing and climate models of Venus, Earth, and Mars. Dr. Crisp has served as an instrument provider and science team member for several NASA missions. He was the Principal Investigator of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission, The first NASA mission dedicated carbon dioxide measurement. Dr. Crisp is currently the leader of the OCO-2 Science Team, and a member of the University of Washington Virtual Planetary Laboratory (VPL) Team.

Noted designer and author Dan Raymer will cover his early involvement in the projects that became the X-31, B-2, F-22, T-45, F-35, and more. Raymer will describe how and why these projects began, and how he became involved in them. Then he'll show his original baseline design concepts and explain how they were created, what was learned from them, and what happened in the end. This enjoyable talk has been presented numerous times at the EAA AirVenture (Oshkosh) and at several universities. It is fast-paced and funny, and gives an insider's look at the development of a new aircraft concept. The numerous illustrations include original design layouts and rarely-seen artist's concepts.
Dr. Raymer is President of Conceptual Research Corporation, and conducts design studies for NASA, AFRL, DARPA, Composite Engineering Inc., and others. Previous positions include Director-Advanced Design with Lockheed, Director-Future Missions at the Aerojet Propulsion Research Institute, and Project Manager-Engineering at Rockwell North American Aviation. Raymer is the author of "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach", "Simplified Aircraft Design for Homebuilders", and "Living in the Future: The Education and Adventures of an Advanced Aircraft Designer" from which this presentation was derived. He regularly teaches his Aircraft, UAV, and Spacecraft Conceptual Design Short Courses. He also coded the RDSwin aircraft design software (Student and Professional versions).
Dr. Raymer received B.S. and M.S. engineering degrees in Astronautics and Aeronautics from Purdue, an MBA from the University of Southern California, and a Doctorate of Engineering (Ph.D.) from the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in the field of Aircraft Multidisciplinary Design Optimization.

Dan Dougherty, Northrop Grumman Advanced Design, El Segundo, will describe an innovative, high-lift system for tailless, transport aircraft. The presentation will be given at CSU Long Beach on 19 November 2013.
Tailless aircraft have aerodynamic and structural efficiencies that are superior to those of traditional, wing/body/tail (WBT) aircraft. Offsetting this advantage, relative to WBT aircraft, tailless aircraft have a low maximum lift coefficient which makes either lower wing loading or a longer distance (faster speed) necessary to takeoff. The system that Dan will describe significantly improves tailless aircraft takeoff performance.

On the advent of the seventh generation of the Corvette, this presentation will look back on the man who truly put the car on the map - Zora Arkus-Duntov. While Harley Earl was the true father of the Corvette, Duntov became the genius behind helping the Corvette survive and thrive. Jerry Burton, a biographer of Arkus-Duntov will take us through the amazing life of Duntov in which he crossed path with Alfred Neubeuer of Mercedes Benz, Ettore Bugatti, Ferry Porsche, and Sydney Allard before joining General Motors in 1953 where he drove the Corvette into sports car immortality as its engineering caretaker.
He was responsible for promoting new technologies such as the Duntov cam, fuel injection, high-performance suspension components, independent rear suspension, and disc brakes that were first introduced at GM on the Corvette and became mainstream technologies elsewhere. Burton will connect the dots for how those early Corvettes compare to the new C7.
Duntov was born of Russian parents in Brussels in 1909, and was raised in St. Petersburg. He was honored last year for his life-long accomplishments with a special six-week exhibit in Moscow put on by the Alexander Solzhenitsyn Center for Russian immigrants, which honors famous Russian expatriates. Burton provided the keynote address at that exhibit and will also share some highlights of that exhibit.
Mr. Burton will also be available to sign copies of his books following his presentation. A biography for Mr. Burton may be viewed here. Pictures and further information may be viewed here.

PHPNW11 Conference – Tutorial Day Photos
Posted by Stuart Herbert on October 10th, 2011 in #phpnw, Conferences.
The PHP North West User Group ran it's 4th (and largest yet!) PHP conference – PHPNW11 in Manchester last weekend.
New this year was Tutorial Day: the opportunity to spend half a day or more in hands-on tutorials getting into the nitty-gritty of useful subjects such as Zend Framework 2, Security, Drupal, Web Services and Component Architectures.
These are my photos from the Tutorial Day.

For this year's Oscars, it will be an ode to the honorable.
Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron announced Tuesday that this year's Academy Awards will have a movie hero theme. Meron made the announcement through an Instagram video saying the night would be a celebration of all heroes: popular heroes, real-life heroes, animated heroes, and superheroes.
Does that mean we can expect host Ellen DeGeneres in a Wonder Woman suit? Probably not. However, many of the stars in contention for Oscars this year have already played heroic parts. Here is a look at some of the best (cape not required):

A buddy of mine visited (West) Germany in the summer of 1977. He came back a different man.
He brought back with him some European music. I found it strange that some of the groups were wildly popular in Germany but unheard of in the United States. ABBA were mega-superstars in Europe, but only moderately successful in the US.
I bring to you now another such a group. Boney M were superstars in Germany, but completely unknown in the US

Washington University Hospital Enrolls First Patient In IMRI Database Expansion
Multiple neurosurgical centers to evaluate long-term effectiveness, efficacy, and value of intraoperative MRI for brain tumor surgery
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - IMRIS Inc. (NASDAQ: IMRS; TSX: IM) ("IMRIS" or the "Company") today announced that the first brain tumor patient was enrolled by the Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, for an expanding clinical neurosurgical database designed to study the use and benefits of ceiling-mounted high-field intraoperative MRI. A collaboration with Washington University, the IMRIS Multicenter iMRI Neurosurgery Database (I-MiND) will focus on the value of advancing the science, outcomes, indications and economics for iMRI through patient data and comparative data from partnering centers.
"There is nothing else out there of this scale utilizing multiple centers for evaluating intraoperative MRI," said Dr. Michael Chicoine, I-MiND Principal Investigator and Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine. "This will be critical in determining the long-term value and patient outcomes for iMRI in neurosurgery. Data from multiple sites will greatly reduce the time of collection, and therefore give us a lot of useful clinical information quickly, including new applications of the technology and emerging techniques in neurosurgery."
Chicoine said the research objectives include examining long-term effectiveness of using iMRI on extent of resection, need for additional surgery, survival and other outcome measures; improving delivery and efficiency of procedures in the OR suite; and enhancing understanding of the variability, progression and natural history of different pathologies treated while guided by iMRI.
Washington University will serve as the coordinating center and invite other hospitals that use iMRI to participate. The university has been a leader in advancing the use of iMRI in neurosurgery with the IMRIS VISIUS ® Surgical Theatre which allows imaging of the patient in the middle of the surgery without moving them from the OR table. The ceiling-rail mounted iMRI moves to the patient while the procedure is still being conducted. "Numerous studies of various iMRI devices have shown improvement in extent of resection in surgeries for various types of brain surgeries which lead to improved patient outcomes," Chicoine said. "However, this data has come mostly from retrospective data collection rather than prospective collection which would be more accurate in assessing the advantages or disadvantages of iMRI."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Melissodes spp. are small to medium sized bees, ranging from 7.5 to 18 mm long. They are robust with fuzzy yellow hairs and conspicuous hairy legs. The front part of the female's face is usually yellow. Like most bees in the tribe Eucerini, males have long antennae. Males are long-bodied, while females have short antennae and are round-bodied. These bees are restricted to the New World.
Melissodes spp are generally solitary bees. Solitary bees usually build and live in individual nests rather than in a hive or with a colony of bees, while social or communal bees do live colonially in hives or bee communities.

Clusters for Nothing and Nodes for Free
Our next step in supporting QM's logic simulation needs is to use co-simulation, in which a regression test runs in real time on programmable logic chips. The testing speed is impressive too, because it eliminates the factor of a million speed ratio of simulation. Allowing for the co-simulation support logic, which also has to be placed in the programmable chip, about 10% of the logic can be tested at once. Therefore, each chip can execute tests as fast as a 50,000-node cluster.
No changes to the Linux and cluster configuration are necessary, but open-source tools are critical to keeping the process simple. Every test has to be processed by the place-and-route tools before execution, the test benches have to be written in a special way and a new level of data organization tracks all work in progress.
LTSP runs well within a Windows network and makes it easy to deploy software temporarily across the whole company without modifying the hard drives. Deploying Icarus on the OpenMosix cluster saved months of development time and ensured a more reliable product. The flexibility of open-source components increased our productivity, and the availability of our cluster enhances our corporate capabilities.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Talk:Rock Tomb (move)
So for the DP description for this move, it mentions the flinching effect, not the speed drop like Pt does. I guess it doesn't really matter, since they still both do the same thing, but it's just something I noticed after restarting Pearl. So... if somebody sees fit that we should change it, then drop a comment I guess. R.A. Hunter Blade 04:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
Clian Dwebble?
Can someone to add in the anime section for Cilan's s Dwebble please - unsigned comment from Emeraldben (talk • contribs)

Discolored Trapinch?
The Trapinch icon/sprite thing in the table of anime appearances isn't the normal coloration. It's really pink looking, whereas Trapinch is orange. It's not shiny, either, since its shiny form is blue, not pink. Is this a mistake? Wynd Fox 02:40, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Nope. Some menu sprites are just weird like that. Delcatty's is like that too. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 02:43, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

When playing Pokémon Y, a CPU Trainer's Machoke used Rock Tomb on my Mega Aerodactyl while it was using fly. The animation was just the rocks forming where Aerodactyl would have been if it wasn't flying (on the ground). Can anyone duplicate this glitch, or was it just a one-time bug? Nairbnroh (talk) 08:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- I tested it, and the attack hit like normal. I don't think it's a glitch or a bug, I think Rock Tomb can just hit targets even if they're in the air. Unless you're referring to an animation error, cause with mine it didn't seem like there was any kind of error with the animation itself. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 09:17, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oop, never mind. I was dumb. It's because the Machoke has No Guard. That's why Rock Tomb hits. ★Jo the Marten★ ಠ_ಠ♥ 09:24, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
I have had the cook top for 7 years and like it except for the problems with the ignition not sparking or it continues to spark at some of the burners after the flame comes on. It happens often after our cleaner cleans the cook top. The problem is due to dirty or wet ignition. I first dry out the ignition. You can use a hair dryer just to be sure. I then cleaned each ignition carefully especially at the base of the metallic part of the ignition where it touches the plastic and try to get as much crude off the ignition as possible. Using a sharp pointed wire or nail will work. Now every thing works. When you turn on any flame, all ignition should spark until the flame comes on and then all ignition should stop sparking. Also, ff you are using the cook top the first time when it is cold, the sparking can continue for a short while until it warms up. Turning up the flame in such an instance will help to stop the sparking quicker. Here's the manual you can also refer to. http://ww2.dacor.com/pdf/useandcare/65140revDs.pdf

Intro from Great South Bay
Hello all I have been lurking on Sailnet now for about four weeks and thought it propa to post an intro. We came into a Menger Oysterman 23 a year ago through a friend who had way too much going on and not enough time to care for the boat. She had been in fair shape until she crowned a dock and got half sunk.
The boat is a little skipjack based on Howard Chappelle's "Blue Crab" design. It needed a new rudder but rigging was intact and the sails were functional (and red!) It's been an adventure relearning everything I had forgotten about working on boats...(14 years away from the water) So Ive been reminded of the subtleties of West System and the itch of glass dust on a hot August night. But it has been good; Sailnet has been a great place to study and is helping me make the deliberate transition from power to sail........I suspect loving Conrad as I did it the shift was inevitable but I love the fact that once the sails are up Im "there" .......and each day I learn something and am abit more able.....
Thanks for sharing your experiences

Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare fell 6.5 percent to $47.85 while managed care facilities operator...
NEW YORK, Nov 7- U.S. stocks were little changed on Friday as gains in energy shares were offset by falling healthcare stocks, in the wake of October payrolls data that indicated economic resilience in the face of slowing global demand. The unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent, the lowest since July 2008, even as more people entered the labor force.
WASHINGTON, Nov 7- The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Friday to hear a legal challenge to a key part of the Obamacare health law that, if successful, would limit the availability of federal health insurance subsidies for millions of Americans. The plaintiffs have appealed a July ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld the subsidies.
The company also is benefiting from its acquisition last year of Vanguard Health Systems, which is exceeding expectations, Tenet Chief Executive Trevor Fetter said. Tenet reported a net loss of $26 million, or 27 cents a share, in the second quarter, compared with a net loss of $50 million, or 49 cents a share, a year ago.
Aug 4- Hospital operator Tenet Healthcare Corp on Monday posted a narrower quarterly net loss and raised its full-year outlook, saying patient admissions grew at near-record rates.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I was overjoyed when my invitations arrived at my home a few days ago. I had some design requests and while I approved the digital proof, I was anxious to see the final product. I could not have been more pleased. All my design changes had been made exactly had I hoped. The design had been centered appropriately to make up for the removal of the entire selection on the card (will be chosen at event). I cannot wait to send to my guests!"
"We were looking for something very simple to put in our wedding invitations, but also something that looked nice. I looked at a few different places online but found nothing as nice looking as these. The paper quality is very good and its looks very clean. fast shipping and great customer service! Would highly recommend!"
"Compliments the invitation perfectly, beautiful, simple and nautical! Customer service helped me redesign the card to look exactly how I wanted it, well done!"
"If you are looking for a high-quality product, this is it. The cards are printed on Crane stationary, and look beautiful. Not one single complaint. Also - the customer service at WPD is outstanding...the best I have seen in some time."
"I just received these invitations for my outdoor ceremony in April. They're perfect. High quality, heavy paper, beautifully raised text. I did find out all of my additional inserts will cost more than traditional postage to mail, but for us it's worth it. The green text, which we purchased, is a little light FYI"

So take the roughly $800 you guys are saying, take the $30 out, then that's $770. Divide that by 24 (number in AU set), that's roughly $32 per AU including shipping. Well, I guess it's good I got two AU for less than 1/6 of what they would be combined using that formula. I do think the Lin, Rose and Griffin are going to be the killers though.

An entrance so over-the-top and so cool, ensuring that every character's eyes are on that entrance, that the entrance itself merits its own entry on the CrowningMomentOfAwesome page.The absolute most important things in the entrance are that the entrance itself has to be loud, it has to be overly dramatic, it has to catch the attention of all characters present and it has to be ''cool''. There are many other tropes that can help achieve this, including, but not limited to...* BigDamnHeroes: Because if someone is going to save everyone from the MonsterOfTheWeek, they're going to have a dramatic entrance.* SuperWindowJump: With the loud crash and broken glass falling like rain, it's literally impossible to make this kind of entrance without being noticed.* DynamicEntry: When the entering character has their foot buried in another character's temple, you can be damn sure you have everyone's attention.* GrandStaircaseEntrance: Often understated, but no less awesome, when someone descends from a great staircase.* UnflinchingWalk: Only when walking ''into'' a situation.* OneLiner: Occasionally, they help.* IncomingHam: It helps ''a lot.''* HammyHerald: Why chew the scenery when you hire someone to do it for you?* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Often playing in conjunction with an UnflinchingWalk, ThreePointLanding, ThereWasADoor, PowerWalk and DynamicEntry.* ThreePointLanding: With entrances involving a great height, this helps to say "nothing can hurt me."* ThereWasADoor: It's really hard for your entrance to go unnoticed when you make your entrance by smashing through the wall.* PowerWalk: When done ''right''.The diametric opposite of the "Stealth Hi" in a StealthHiBye.While many [[DynamicEntry Dynamic Entries]] are part of this trope, not all are. A dynamic entry is an entrance plus violence. This trope is an entrance plus drama/awesome (violence optional).May become an EstablishingCharacterMoment. Contrast JobberEntrance----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime and Manga]]* The first ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'' OVA has Riki being a BigDamnHero with a BigEntrance using [[CarFu Bike Fu]] against a squad of police to save his old gang from being arrested or shot to death.* An understated one in ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' - when one-off character Doohan first enters frame, you can instantly [[EstablishingCharacterMoment tell what kind of person he is]] by the fact that he's ''on fire'' and apparently doesn't even care enough to put it out.* In ''HanaukyoMaidTai'' episode 5, Konoe, the head of the security division, is introduced by having her return to the mansion from a business trip together with a whole squadron of fighting helicopters.* ''Manga/InuYasha'': Sesshoumaru is fond of these. If there's a sudden explosion slamming into the earth from the sky involving flashing lighting, shaking ground and an overload of raw power, it's usually Sesshoumaru landing in a manner that ensures everyone pays attention. He even brought a life-or-death battle between Inuyasha's group and Mouryoumaru to a stop when everyone on both sides turned to give his entrance their full attention.* In ''MaidenRose'', Hasebe is about to kill Klaus when suddenly his sword is shattered. Following this is a two page spread of an ill Taki standing in the doorway, sporting a DeathGlare, [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] drawn, wearing a BadassLongcoat as a CoatCape blowing in the DramaticWind against a stream of white light, with some flower petals floating around for good measure. The shocked looks from the others are pretty well warranted at that point.* Invoked by Monkey D. Garp in ''Manga/OnePiece''. How did he make his entrance? Busting straight through a wall when there was a door. Why? Because it was cooler that way. He then goes on to fix the wall.* Team Rocket of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' -- oh, they've used every big entrance on the list and several more besides. They like to bring their own spotlights, sound system, costumes and fireworks.-->PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!\\MAKE IT DOUBLE!* In the second episode of ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]'' Domon Kasshu summons the Shining Gundam by calling out to it so loudly that Creator/TomokazuSeki and/or Creator/MarkGatha must have shattered some glass in the booth delivering the line, but that's not even the best of it oh no, the Shining Gundam then explodes on to the scene from within the ruins of the Statue of Liberty, letting the viewer know that ''[[RefugeInAudacity NOTHING]]'' is sacred.** Actually the Statue of Liberty appears to be intact to a large degree. Which makes one wonder how they got the Shining Gundam in there to begin with.* In ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}! 1933 - The Slash'', Ronnie Schiatto opens a door and walks into a room. This incredibly basic entrance nonetheless effectively stops time and terrifies every damn man and woman in the room, leaving everyone thoroughly convinced he's some terrifying HumanoidAbomination from that point on. [[spoiler:They're right.]]-->'''Ennis:''' Excuse me... Mr. Ronnie. Who... ''What'' are you? * This is common in the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise, but special mention goes to ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' 's movie where Cure Happy gets her [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu5bVUv2eDU Ultra Form]] and the whole world goes from GaiasLament to an {{Arcadia}} in just ''seconds''. The song is even called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmoIPf-KenU Ultra Cure Happy Tanjou]]! [[labelnote:Translation]] "Tanjou" is Japanese for "Enter". [[/labelnote]] [[/folder]][[folder:Fan Works]]* In ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', the immortal line...-->"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!" It was....... Dumbledore![[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Animated]]* In the Disney ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'', Aladdin gets an ''extended'' Big Entrance with the "Prince Ali" music number. Elephants, dancers, the Genie's magic, and practically kicking the 200-foot door down (and [[TheDoorSlamsYou into Jafar's face]]). The whole thing was mainly meant to impress the Sultan and woo Jasmine, but an entrance doesn't get much bigger than having the entire city focused on you during a musical number.* In ''WesternAnimation/SinbadLegendOfTheSevenSeas'', Eris shows up after [[spoiler: Sinbad's execution and HeroicSacrifice]]. Said entrance involved the clouds spiraling into a tornado, creating a water sprout, and Eris emerging from the mist in a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever fifty-foot version of herself]]. And the spectators were [[OhCrap scared shitless.]]* Maleficent of ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' gets a really [[EvilIsCool cool one]], by blowing the doors open, filling the palace with DramaticWind and lightning, and slowly coalescing out of green flame. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl8RY7Bm-Ew Seen here.]] It's subtle, understated, and threatening as all hell.* The competitors for Pirate of the Year in ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists''. Peg Leg Hastings swings in on a rope, Cutlass Liz blasts a hole in the wall, and Black Bellamy arrives inside a whale, which crashes into the tavern, opens its mouth for him to step out, and then starts disgorging gold dubloons like a fruit machine.* ''WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'' has the "This Is Halloween'' music number, which climaxes at Jack's big entrance to the film.* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}}'' does this several times during the film. Usually, he has his robot minions doing a light show set to classic rock.-->'''Megamind''': (to Titan) Oh, you're a villain all right. Just not a ''supervillain''.-->'''Titan''': Oh yeah?! What's the difference.-->'''Megamind''': [[LargeHam PRESENTATION!]]* ''WesternAnimation/GreenLanternEmeraldKnights'': Mogo's BigDamnHeroes moment. Arisia sums it up: "He may not socialize, but he sure does know how to make an entrance."* Dave the Octopus as Dr. Brine shows up at the end of ''WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar'' riding on top of his submarine as if he was dashing through the water.[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* ''Film/{{Cleopatra}}'', the 1963 version with Elizabeth Taylor, has a 9-minute Big Entrance scene. The preliminaries include a cavalry company, chariots, archers, and four different dance troupes. Then a hundred slaves tow in a giant stone sphinx with Cleopatra on a throne.* In ''Film/IronMan2'', Tony [[ThreePointLanding lands stylishly]] at the site of his Stark Expo in his ComicBook/IronMan [[PoweredArmor suit]] to the cheers of many admirers after skydiving out of his personal carrier. For added effect, he's surrounded by a group of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rockettes The Rockettes]]-esque [[FanserviceExtra women]] in garb meant to resemble his armor who are performing the Can-Can.** Also Ivan Vanko/ Whiplash as he [[UnflinchingWalk calmly walks down the track]], casually slashing cars in half as his equipment burns his shirt off. {{MassOhCrap}}ing ensues.* Loki's first appearance in ''Film/TheAvengers'': a portal to the other side of the universe opens up in a crackle of blue lightning, and suddenly Loki is standing there in front of several stunned SHIELD agents. Whom he promptly starts attacking.** Tony makes his by hacking the Quinjet's stero to blast AC/DC's "Shoot to Thrill", blasting Loki, and then making his ThreePointLanding. "Make your move, Reindeer Games."* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'', whenever he wants/needs the attention, and isn't using his StealthHiBye shtick. Lampshaded by the Riddler in ''Film/BatmanForever'' after Batman bursts through the skylight... ''After'' Two-Face merely kicked in the front door followed by his mooks.-->'''[[JimCarrey The Riddler]]''': (To Two-Face) Your entrance was good. ''His'' was better. The difference? ''[[DoingItForTheArt Showmanship!]]''* Dr. Frank N. Furter's first appearance in ''TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' during [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc80tFJpTuo "Sweet Transvestite"]].* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeJVNQ4ngfo entrance of Harry]] Lime in ''Film/TheThirdMan'' is considered to be one of the best entrances of all time.* Referenced in ''Film/IndependenceDay''. "You know me." "Yeah, I know, you always like to make a big entrance."* This occurs in many Wild West movies when an important character enters the saloon, smashing the swinging doors in the process, the piano suddenly stops playing, everyone turning to look at him etc.* ''Film/RoboCop1987'' had a special version of this answer concerns that a simple open entrance could make the title character look silly. Instead, Verhoeven had Robo's entrance teased out with first with his support crew coming and as the Desk Sgt. protests, he is suddenly silenced by the sound of heavy mechanical footsteps of some figure entering the station, barely visible through frosted glass. That is followed by teasing looks that become more and more revealing until you are eagerly following the running cops through the halls trying to get a good look at this thing. At the end, you get to see Robocop towering in his maintenance chair and looking completely kickass.* You know how performances of the cancan often start with the dancers running to the stage, shrieking and waving their skirts? Film/FrenchCancan takes this trope UpToEleven for its climactic performance: the dancers surge through the crowds, rappel down ropes into patrons' laps, and burst through a wall poster. Featured dancer Nini makes ''her'' entrance by [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome leaping off the band's elevated bandstand into a rescue blanket.]]* ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'':** ''Film/TerrorOfMechagodzilla'' has Titanosaurus going on a rampage in one scene. The camera pans over to a separate set of buildings as a familiar, spiny silhouette appears. Titanosaurus is shown again as he is promptly blasted by a blue BreathWeapon. We then go back to that silhouette as the lighting increases to reveal Godzilla.** ''Film/GodzillaVsMechagodzillaII'' has a scene where a team of scientists investigating an irradiated island are suddenly attacked by [[GiantFlyer Rodan]]. Their retreat brings them to a cliff overlooking the coast, where they see the ocean violently bubbling up. As Rodan catches up, a blue beam shoots from the bubbling area and hits the giant pterosaur. Godzilla himself emerges from the ocean and goes into battle with Rodan.** In ''Film/{{Godzilla 2014}}'', a [=MUTO=] is introduced demolishing a Honolulu airport. At one point, it causes a long chain reaction of exploding aircraft. The last explosion dissipates, revealing a GiantFootOfStomping that [[AlwaysABiggerFish manages to dwarf the entire [=MUTO=]]]. We then get a sweeping shot of Godzilla's whole body as he roars. It's also done in San Francisco just when he's about to face off against the female MUTO.* In ''Film/IntoTheWoods'', when the Witch enters the Baker's house, she blasts the door off its hinges with her magic.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* Nicodemus from ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' does this in ''Death Masks''. After hearing a minor character state "There's nothing that anyone can do to hurt me anymore," Nick blows down the wall, steps through with his two {{Mooks}} and [[LivingShadow shadow]], and declares "[[TimeAbyss No matter how]] [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld many times I]] [[PhraseCatcher hear that, it's always a]] [[TortureTechnician fresh challenge."]]** Harry himself gets in on this in ''White Night''. Afer hearing the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent White Court]] convene, one vamp states "Who is going to call us to task [for our crimes]?" Harry takes this as his cue to blast the door, send in a rolling red carpet of flames, and challenge the vamp to a duel right then and there to the death. Quoth Harry, "Damn, there's nothing like a good entrance."** Speaking of the White Court, Lara's entrance with her sisters in ''Turn Coat'' qualify. They show up in a helicopter, which is no big deal. But they simply jump out without zip-lines, and [[UnflinchingWalk casually walk]] up to the assembled White Council forces. ''In heels''. Harry laments that if there were any justice in the world, it would have gone in slow-motion so he could have had a subjective eternity to watch.** Arguably, Harry's entrance to the climactic battle of ''Dead Beat'', as seen by the Wardens and the Kemmlerites. It's not too much to brag about, it's just, you know... [[MemeticBadass the dinosaur.]]** Harry does this in ''Storm Front'' to Marcone, blowing down the door. Marcone has remembered this and now puts flimsy doors at all dramatic entry points. All ''strategic'' entrance points have doors of solid steel.** Sigrun Gard and her habit of showing up in helicopters playing Music/RideOfTheValkyries at top volume.** Again, in ''Literature/ColdDays'', when Harry arrives at the [[EldritchLocation Island]] with TheWildHunt in tow. Anyone and anything on those barges ''had'' to be crapping their metaphorical pants.* Kelson and Dhugal in ''[[Literature/{{Deryni}} The Quest for Saint Camber]]'' were thought to be dead after a mountain trail washed out beneath them. When they return to Gwynedd's capital Rhemuth, they arrive with their entourage via Transfer Portal (which permits instantaneous travel) in the sacristy of the cathedral ''on Easter Sunday morning'' no less.* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix'', Dumbledore makes one of these after Professor Trelawney has been sacked, by opening the castle's huge double doors by himself and striding through them. Harry notes how impressive he can make the simple act of walking through a door.* Towards the end of the fourth ''Literature/CatRoyal'' book, the title character and her friend Pedro [[spoiler: crash an upper class party, on horseback, with Cat dressed as a Native American]]. It gets exactly the stunned reaction one would expect.* ''Literature/SoonIWillBeInvincible''. Spoofed when Dr. Impossible goes to an AbandonedWarehouse to meet other supervillains; he has to hide outside in the bushes while changing from his street clothes into cape and mask before entering.* Literature/MaryPoppins demonstrates a knack for this. To name but one example, her first-ever appearance involves the East Wind blowing her through the Banks family's gate and onto their doorstep.[[/folder]][[folder:Live-Action TV]]* In ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'', Castiel's first scene. All the lights start flickering and bursting, the roof starts rattling, and the barn door breaks open, and Castiel [[UnflinchingWalk casually strolls in]] amidst the howling wind and sparks.-->'''Dean''': (Panicked) Who are you?-->'''Castiel''': [[BadassBoast I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition.]]** Speaking of ''Supernatural'', [[spoiler: Gabriel]]'s [[DynamicEntry opening move]] against Lucifer and his PreAsskickingOneLiner, seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Egjb0eNNUzU here]].-->'''[[spoiler: Gabriel]]''': Lucy. I'm home.** [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Death]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDzIS26aDK8 is an interesting case.]] On one hand, his entrance is nothing special in of itself, but manages to make a considerable impression with the incredibly appropriate music, the CoolCar, and the inadvertent TouchOfDeath (no pun intended). Subverted? Zigzagged?* In ''FatherTed'', Bishop Brennan makes an unforgettable entrance [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEIjXU7baSc&feature=player_detailpage#t=239s running towards the camera screaming with his 10ft-wide cloak billowing behind him]] once he figures out the titular character really ''did'' kick him up the arse.* [[http://youtu.be/TLgetLmlggA The Entrance]] is an advertisement produced by Heineken based entirely on the concept.* In the ''Series/ICarly'' episode ''iStill Psycho'', [[MamaBear Mrs. Benson]] and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass T-Bo]] arrive to make their BigDamnHeroes moment by driving T-Bo's motorcycle straight through [[AxCrazy Nora's]] front door.* ''Series/PowerRangersSamurai'': In "The Master Returns", Xandred arrives on Earth in style. Rocks pile together into his shape to create a gate for him. The sky darkens as he proclaims "Day shall become night as I escape from the Netherworld to face my enemies!". Everyone present from the Rangers to even ''Serrator'' goes OhCrap. Xandred follows up on this by sending Serrator running and beating the living crap out of the Rangers ''while drying out''.** Prior to this, Antonio deliberately tries to engineer a dramatic entrance in his debut episode. He even ''runs away'' from the other Rangers when they wind up tracking him down ahead of time, just so he can come back and show off at an opportune [[BigDamnHeroes Big Dang Hero]] moment.** Some of the classic villains got some decent entrances too. [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Lord Zedd]], Master Vile, and [[Series/PowerRangersZeo King Mondo]] come to mind. Mondo notably made his entrance with Quadrafighters attacking Rita and Zedd's palace, sending them running to another galaxy.* In ''Series/StargateSG1'', Thor is often fond of these. Even when doing something minor such as beaming down, he often makes a point to do so whilst sitting comfortably in his CoolChair, simply because he ''can''.* One of the Fourth Doctor's particular quirks in ''Series/DoctorWho'' is that he would never enter a room the same way twice. Between this and how much of a LargeHam and AttentionWhore this incarnation of him was, this makes practically every time his character went through a door an example of this trope. Creator/TomBaker often explains about this that he is extremely bad at coming through doors convincingly in a way that isn't funny even in real life.[[/folder]][[folder:Opera]]* In ''{{Tosca}}'', Baron Scarpia makes one of grand opera's baddest of bad-ass entrances. He and his secret police crash an enormous chorus number in mid-note, which swerves like a skipped record needle into the bad guy's signature theme.** A chorus of ''happy children'', to be precise. Really putting ''bad'' in bad-ass.[[/folder]][[folder:Professional Wrestling]]* This is part and parcel of the spectacle. All wrestlers would have music and theatrics, some would have pyros, fireworks, explosions. Notable example would include Wrestling/ShawnMichaels and the zipline, Wrestling/{{Sting}} and the helicopter absail, Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} standing in the fireworks, Wrestling/{{Kane}} using fire and explosives, and Wrestling/{{Rey Mysterio|Jr}} using trapdoors or Wrestling/SinCara using a trampoline.* Wrestling/TheUndertaker already has a spectacular entrance using any manner of smoke, pyros, explosions, controlling the lights at will, lightning, or riding a Harley Davidson to the ring. For special occasions he will be led to the ring by druids, make use of a hearse or horse drawn cart, or teleportation.* Prior to Wrestlemania 21, Wrestling/{{Carlito C|olon}}aribbean Cool returned to his home promotion, WWC, for his first match since his injury on Smackdown, a rematch with little brother Eddie, and arrived to the arena in a helicopter! * For Wrestling/WrestleMania, Wrestling/JohnCena has used the likes of gangsters and Tommy Guns, Ford Mustangs driving through glass, an army of lookalikes and the US Air Force Honor Guard Drill Team to help make his entrances.[[/folder]][[folder:Theater]]* In ''Theatre/PokemonLive'', Team Rocket has a big entrance; they even repeat it to get the audience to cheer for them.* ''Theatre/TheWarriorsAtHelgeland'' by Creator/HenrikIbsen has the largest opening line in any play written by Ibsen: ---> '''Retreat, Warrior!'''** Cue a massive sword fight and a lot of people speaking in chorus. [[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* Balrog from ''VideoGame/CaveStory''. In his first appearance, there's an ominous pounding on a door, then he smashes down the door and the wall around it, shouting (depending on the translation) either "Huzzah!" or "Oh yeah!" (a la the Kool-Aid Man) He even gets his own distinct [[{{Leitmotif}} theme music]].* ''Inverted'' in VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII by the Esper, Chaos. As you enter, the Esper telekenetically slams the door shut, [[MagicalGesture by clapping it's hands together]]. The thing isn't even the one doing the entering, and you have that [[ThisIsGonnaSuck sense of dread]] even before the fight starts.* In ''{{Runescape}}'', one quest has you rescue a gnome who has been a prisoner for about 200 years. After you rescue the guy, the gnome you've been escorting throughout the quest calls in air support for a quick ride out. Everyone present discusses landing in the Gnome Tree Village, even though the local king has declared that no gnome gliders may be used over the village. The pilot uses this trope as part of his rationale for going to the Gnome Tree Village on a glider anyway.-->'''Captain Belmondo:''' You need to make a big entrance when you've got the king's long-lost brother in tow!* [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Dante]] being [[{{Badass}} Dante]] does this in ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne'' where he intoduces himself by jumping of a 60 storie building and landing neatly (if a bit loudly) behind Hitoshura before begining his boss battle.* Almost everyone recruitable in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2''.[[/folder]][[folder:Webcomics]]* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': Dr. McNinja makes a pretty good entrance [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/3p6/ here]], mainly as a ShoutOut to Franchise/{{Batman}}. Although, his entrance is rendered rather moot when you take into account that the gang he dropped in on ''had nothing at all to do with the plot.''** [[CrazyAwesome King Radical]]. Chris Hastings [[WordOfGod has claimed]] that he could do a whole book on the entrances and exits of King Radical.* Elan from ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' at various points. Two points that come to mind are when he burst through the window to rescue Hayley from Nale (which was slightly dampened by Thog following while [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext dressed like a leprechaun]]), and doing the same when confronting Kubota over his plan to dethrone Hinjo and kill the Kato family. The latter was hilariously lampshaded, as Therkla had left the door open for Elan, so Elan had to go around and find a good window to jump through.** Also, Vaarsuvius, when [[AmbiguousGender he/she]] attacked Xykon. V just teleported in, which is normally no biggie. But since the whole area was covered in epic-level magic to prevent teleporting, it was somewhat of a big deal. Between that and the loud boom V made when entering, the elf had ''everyone's'' immediate and rapt attention.* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', during the Cinderella parody, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081215 Agatha has a nice one.]] When in doubt, go with the classics.** Nicely lampshaded at the bottom [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081217 of the next page.]]* Done, and lampshaded in ''ExterminatusNow,'' [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2012-04-01/comic/the-bookend-of-unimaginable-power/dynamic-entry/ here]].-->'''Virus:''' Hal! That was fucking awesome!-->'''Eastwood''': Shut uuuup! You're ruining my big entrance!-->'''virus:''' Sorry! Carry on!* In ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'', Agent 7, ne Thunderfist, enters with a GroundPunch.[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck is a master of this. His entrances are always preceded by a cloud of smoke, followed by his signature phrase; complete with ominous echo: "I am the terror that flaps in the night..."* General Grievous from ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsCloneWars''. His first appearance (which, incidentally, was his RealLife first appearance in any ''Star Wars'' media) involves his droid army ambushing and surrounding a group of Jedi. From off-screen, Grievous tells the droids to stop attacking, and then calls out to the Jedi, urging them to make peace with the Force and promising to personally grant them a warrior's death. One of the Jedi panics and charges out to attack, and Grievous finally shows himself by [[GoombaStomp jumping on the Jedi's back, killing him instantly]].* The ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode "Birthmark" starts off with [[LightIsNotGood Dr. Light]] fighting the Titans. At first he seems to be holding his own, until [[DarkIsNotEvil Raven]] makes her entrance. She mimics the last time the two of them encountered each other, with scaling up her size a fair bit, GlowingEyesOfDoom, and tentacles made of shadow.-->'''Raven:''' '''''Remember me?'''''-->'''Dr. Light''': (Goes BlueWithShock, turns and raises hands) I'd like to go to jail now, please.* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', these are given to TheDragon and the BigBad respectively.** In "Omens Part One" {{Catfolk}} General Grune arrives in a CaptainMorganPose atop a [[TreasureIsBiggerInFiction gigantic]] geode hauled by a [[WorkingOnTheChainGang chain gang]] of four-dozen LizardFolk [[MadeASlave slaves]] because he's TooImportantToWalk.** In "Omens Part Two" SorcerousOverlord Mumm-Ra is revealed WreathedInFlames while a vortex with swirling [[RedSkyTakeWarning red clouds]] opens in the sky above his head, DramaticThunder booms and a DramaticWind blows, all backed by his personal {{Leitmotif}} featuring ConLang OminousLatinChanting.* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Princess Luna's entrance in "Luna Eclipsed". [[spoiler: She comes in on a Batmobile-looking chariot drawn by pegasi with wing armor and helmet crests that look like bat wings, wearing a BlackCloak and accompanied by DramaticThunder. She does an awesome drop from the chariot and dramatically flips the hood off her head. Finally, her cloak dissolves into bats.]] Because of this, many Bronies now refer to her as "Princess Luna, ''' ''Princess of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsEwY7L9GHg F-ING METAL!!!]]''' ''"* In the penultimate episode of ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', {{Darkseid}} has been resurrected by Lex Luthor (it was an accident). Since his death, a civil war has been raging on Apokalips as to who would take his place. Just as the final battle is about to take place, Darkseid immediately puts a stop to the war by making a literal explosive entrance of epic proportions. Without him even saying a word, everyone from both sides immediately redeclares allegiance to him without a single protest. [[EvilOverlord Darkseid Is indeed.]]* This has been {{Lampshaded}} on TheSimpsons, when [[TheScrooge Mr. Burns]] makes his first appearance before his new Indian employees at the outsourced power plant. He comes out of a basket to dancing like a charmed snake, with appropriate [[BuffySpeak snake-charmy]] music. Smithers asks him why he wanted to make an entrance like that, to which he replies, "[[LargeHam I'm a showman!]]"* Played with on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' The Monarch and his henchman execute a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz4PdpfI7zY badass, minty-fresh entrance ]] on what he thought was the Venture compound, turns out it was just his accountant's office.* In the ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' episode "Temple of Juatchadoon", Doofenshmirtz makes a big entrance, only for Perry the Platypus to make a BIGGER entrance.-->'''Doofenshmirtz''': Perry the Platypus, you totally one upped my entrance![[/folder]][[folder:Real Life]]* [[UsefulNotes/HMTheQueen Queen Elizabeth II]] entered the 2012 Olympics Arena in London '''''[[SoCoolItsAwesome by paradropping from a hovering helicopter!]] [[RuleOfCool Alongside]] Film/JamesBond!'''''

She was greeted with a standing ovation.* {{Drag Queen}} Tandi Iman Dupree's [[RuleofCool incredible]] performance of "Holding Out for a Hero" [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0kUeQDPaGU must be seen to be believed]].* At any official military gathering (briefings, formations, etc.) the Commander's entrance will usually be announced with a SergeantRock [[HammyHerald loudly calling]] the gathered troops to attention (standing ramrod-straight and silently awaiting orders). So even though the officer in question is usually quietly walking into the room, the effect is the same complements of the NCO getting everyone's attention first. In the US military, Generals, Admirals, and the President will usually have a band playing [[{{Lietmotif}} a fanfare]] to accompany the entrance at any publicized gatherings.[[/folder]]----
